Garcia: I am very happy to hear your greeting to President Morales
Bermudez and he reciprocates. We are very happy to receive your
Secretary of State and I know it will contribute to our good relations.
The President: I am glad he finally is able to go. He wanted to for some
time but there have been several postponements. I am glad he is finally
making it.
Garcia: I am sure his visit will have deep repercussions not only in the
particular countries but will show all Latin America the interest of the
United States.
The President: I know on occasion your area has thought we have ignored
you. I want you to know there is a strong feeling of friendship between the
American people and Latin America and on my part as well. I am sure
we can in concrete ways deepen that relationship.
Garcia: I am happy to hear your words. I know it is your policy to give
high priority to Latin America. It is for that reason I mentioned the
visit of the Secretary of State.
The President: Again, we are happy to welcome you here.
