 Testing one two We are here together, along with our city manager, extend to you both those travelling with you the most sincere and warm welcome. You have come Mr President, to the most historic city, where every stone has a story to tell of the past. This green and peaceful park, which for generations has echoed with the ringing shouts of people at play, belies the slow struggle to be born, which our ancient city has endured. Dublin has been close to the heart of every major national, political, social and cultural movement. The names of our great sons and daughters, burn brightly in the pages of our history. Their inspiration and achievement still enrich our way of life. Yes, Dublin's heart is old and warm, and today it opens itself to you in friendship and welcome. It is easy for us, because our country's name is synonymous with welcome. And it is also right that we should do so. Many an Irish family, left the thickly streets and barren hillsides have found refuge and new hope in your country and in others. Those travellers in turn, worked and thought to help make your country great. The contribution abroad of this mighty little nation has been extraordinary, and speaks eloquently from many lands. In that process, bonds of great friendship have been created between the peoples of our two countries. Let us work to strengthen these, at civic and political levels. So often it is nations who look outwards in friendship who solve problems, while those who look inwards in distress create them. And yet our eyes, like yours, Mr President, are set on the future, on the great challenges which lie before us all. Like you, we realise that these difficulties, later small, are in reality opportunities which demand the very best of our human resource, the very best of our generosity, our compassion, our love for each other. In the face of the development and growth within nations and between nations, of all those noble qualities which make us true, whether between cities or between continents, let us continue to approach one another, centre to centre. That way lies understanding and peace. Robert Kennedy said one time, and I hope Mr President, you'll forgive me for being a Democrat, that very few men get the chance of changing the world, although each of us gets the opportunity to change a little piece. You, Mr President, are one of the few who have the power to change a very great deal. We do not envy you, those awesome responsibilities. The urgent quest for world peace, the hunger that racks over half our globe, the wars within nations, the threats of unemployment and our restless young people, economic disorder, environmental degeneration. These and others are major and daunting tasks. But on behalf of all of the people of the city, on behalf of the people of this country, I would like you to know that you have the highest hopes, the fondest good wishes, and the most fervent prayers of all governors and of all people of Ireland. You okay now? Keep back Vlad's teeth. Thank you sir. An emotional day for you Mr President. What? Was an emotional day for you sir? Mr President, are you hoping to come back someday? How soon? How soon? Well, I've got a little matter to take up this fall that will determine some of my future schedule. Could you indicate what that is? Could you indicate what that is? It's a little November ceremony that we have to go through in an hour. Are you going to be the winner? It's a question that I would never answer that way. I figure that you jinx yourself if you say that. Fantastic. If you President Dewey. He didn't know. Thank you. Thank you. Who's Dewey there, Vlad? Who is that? Nice to meet you.
