Oh, hey, hi, how are you?

You did damn well.

I was trying to call you.

They said, do you like it?

I said, I find it not very attractive.

I find seeking it very attractive.

The security of the country depended on it.

And the decision was made.

How did you, were you able to make your argument?

Oh, yeah.

make your breathing and so forth.

Oh, yeah.

I got everything out of it.

You hear it?

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Well, I want to welcome you officially to the White House.

I know that you have had a very busy schedule for our country.

And we're going to have a dinner tonight hosted by a client from New Zealand.

I'd like to add one item to your schedule, and that is a special tour of the White House itself.

The other thing I would like to say on this occasion is that

I welcome now half of those groups from the People's Development of China since we started our new relationship in February.

Since last February, I went to China on Monday.

I met seven Chinese representatives from all over the world.

Doctors, ping pong players, gymnasts,

But I consider this group to be perhaps the greatest enemies.

Because beginning last February, we began a new communication between the most populous nation in the world and the United States of America.

And we want the people of your country to know America.

Only.

So we must know each other through the pens,

The cameras, the eyes, the brains, we don't need them.

We've appreciated the fact that members of the American press have been received with such great once-in-a-lifetime feedback.

We want this to be a continuing issue.

As we look back over the foreign policy of the United States, going back perhaps to World War II, the most significant event in terms of the effect on the future of the whole world

was probably the establishment of a new relationship between the U.S. and China.

I say this for two reasons.

On the negative side,

The responsible leaders of the People's Republic and the responsible leaders of the United States could not allow the nation to contain itself.

which would risk down the road a confrontation between our two great countries.

From a positive standpoint, even more important, speaking for our own country, speaking particularly for our children, they would miss so much if communication were not established with one quarter of the most able people in the world.

That is why I can tell you that I look forward to my second term to continue to work with Joe Lai

now toward a closer and more constructive relationship between our two countries.

The overwhelming majority of the American people, regardless of their political persuasion, favors the initiative.

I'm sure you're saying Americans are basically a group of people.

We're friendly people.

And we are also people who like to visit new worlds.

And for that reason, I hope that in the years ahead, this new initiative will continue to have strong support of the great majority.

The U.S. people know that the U.S. people are a very good, peaceful, friendly, and strong people.

The U.S. people also like to discover new things in the world.

Therefore, I believe that in the future, our relationship with China will also be influenced by the U.S. people.

It would not be honest to gloss over the major differences in philosophy that we happen to have in different forms of government.

But it's my firm perception that we have reached a stage in world history where differences between governments must not divide the people.

And for that reason, I consider that one of the great goals of our administration is to continue developing this relationship with Cuba.

It's not worth very much, so you can accept it without compromising your objective.

This is the pen we use to sign the bills for the Congress.

And when the others use the pen, we give the pens to all members of the House in response to the bill.

So we want to give you this.

And I would strongly recommend that you take the box as well as the pen, because the box is worth more than the pen.

Thank you.

Before my time as President, I want to reveal a very glorious promise to you, and that is, before we move over, I will not admire the function of the government, and to ensure mine, I'll be the best God in the world.

Thank you.

The President of the United States of America said that the relationship between China and the United States is very important.

The President has just said very many friendly words concerning the relationship which is developed between our two countries.

We also can see that the relationship between us is indeed developing for the friendship relationship.

Because on the day before, on the day we left he came, it was the day when Mr. Bruce arrived.

And today, on the day we arrived in Washington, our director of the theater, Dr. Walter Wright, in Washington.

And we're again received by President Nixon and Dr. Kissinger today.

Here they invite us and also show to see us.

the development of relations between China and the U.S.

I know that the U.S. is concerned with relations between China and the U.S. and I think we should not take too much of this time.

And we will accept President Nixon again, and we'll use that to write new pages, which will be open for us to write.

Thank you, Obama.

And you can be assured that we will bring back with us the very negative words of the last century and all the black Americans.

Thank you.

Would you also accept my best personal words?

My wish is to return to my home and to return to my country.

And one of my greatest wishes is to return to the People's Republic of the United States.

To return perhaps in the spring and see more cities and more people in our communities.

I can't say which spring.

I'm so glad.

Thank you.

Oh, yes.

I have heard this reminded me that we're going to discriminate here unless the Americans also...

I don't need to tell them, but they will not be affected.

I believe that they will not be affected.

Only one command, write good things about our guests.

We'll have the tents right here, if they go out, and they go right into the Roosevelt Room, if you can't be expected for it.

You can send one here, or two.

Thank you.

We need a couple extra pants up.
