 This is just the first of many meetings in the years to come. Mr. Prime Minister, thank you for being here with us. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. I've been delighted to have this opportunity of making the acquaintance of President Reagan and some of the members of his cabinet who hold responsibilities that are particularly important to the bilateral relationship between New Zealand and the United States. I don't think that there are closer friends than New Zealand and the United States. We see so many things alike, and we admire so much the way in which this country shoulders the burden of leadership of the free world. And today, in some of the early months of a new administration, I'm delighted to have had the opportunity of spending some time with the President, members of his cabinet, making an acquaintance which I'm sure will be fruitful in the years to come in further cementing the great friendship between our two nations.
