So when the president was here in November in a very, very successful visit, he constantly emphasized at every turn how important for the United States it was that Japan's economy recover, and it recover robustly, and strongly, and begin to be again an engine of growth in the next century as it has been in the last part of this century. I am absolutely confident that that's going to happen. Those things are going to take their effect, I know, very soon. In any case, it's a pleasure to be here. I want to pledge my support, to do what ever I can, and whatever Embassy Tokyo and this Consulate can do to assist you all in doing business in Japan.
Nothing is better for the U.S. or for Japan.
Congratulations for what you are doing. I'm delighted to be with you tonight, and hope to be back again soon.
