 Ladies and gentlemen, sadly the time has come for a farewell. I hope it will only be an auroir and that we will be meeting again soon. My meetings with President Siddharth have now ended and I want to say how valuable our exchanges have been and how encouraged I am with the progress that has been made and how much I personally have learned from President Siddharth about the complexities of the problems that we all face in seeking a just and lasting peace in the Middle East. I am greatly impressed with his intimate knowledge and his passionate concern. Our talks covered three general areas. First, the growing strategic threat to the region posed by the growth of Soviet military power and the activities of Soviet surrogates in the Near East, Southwest Asia and Africa. The second issue, discussed in great detail, was the peace process. And here to be completely candid, I was a willing listener. We are both anxious to ensure that the negotiating process stemming from the Camp David agreements will resume and succeed. President Siddharth has urged that the United States continue to play an important role in this process and this we will do. I will be meeting with other Middle East leaders in the coming months to continue the process of sharing views with our friends about our common goals of peace, stability and security in the area. The third area we discussed, Congress isn't in session, is it? The third area we discussed had to do with the growing bilateral relations between the United States and Egypt. We covered issues of mutual security, military cooperation and economic matters. President Siddharth shares our belief that a strong defense and a strong economy go hand in hand. We will work closely with Egypt as full partners in our search for peace and stability in the Middle East. And finally, let me add another personal note. I had, of course, heard a great deal about President Siddharth and was optimistic that we would establish a close rapport. My optimism was justified. I respected him for all that he has done and getting to know him has vastly increased that respect. I share his belief that with courage, determination and foresight and a bold vision of the future, we can succeed in our common endeavors. We've been delighted to have President Siddharth and his family here with us and we look forward to meeting again. I have a few words after the President. I quite agree, full agreement with what President Reagan said. If I am to add anything, it is expressing my deep gratitude to President Reagan for this kind invitation to meet with him and to survey all the problems that we are facing together and then to meet again with the American people with whom I cherish really the full pride to be friends, to be understanding and I'm happy to tell the American people as always as I told them. I'm very happy because after this visit, I can say that I enjoy the friendship of President Reagan as a great leader of a great nation. Again, I shall end like I have always ended. I shall never let you down. Thank you very much.
