 The President of the United States. Just fine. Hello there. It's nice to meet you, have you here? Well, I'm delighted to welcome you all here. This is the 57th year of this event, and it's the oldest and largest event that is held annually here in the Capitol. I'm very proud, and Nancy is very proud that she is the honorary chairman. But I'm glad to see you all. I've never seen the Rose Garden look lovelier. But you're a sure sign of spring. The arrival of the princesses here makes that positive. The festival symbolizes the spirit of friendship between the United States and Japan, as well as the beginning of spring. And it gives me particular pleasure to welcome the 1983 Cherry Blossom Queen from Japan, Itsuko Kobishi. And we have with us our own queen, Lynn Ridgely, and the 56 princesses chosen by the state societies and the territories. As I said, this is a long-time event here. You're all of you most welcome, and I can assure you that after the winter we've had, believe me, if you're bringing spring, you are welcome. Now, I'm going to say some hello's if I can. Here. Congratulations. Thank you so much. Thank you.
