To get started on the meeting, I would like to begin by recognizing one who is not here, Ambassador Mike Mansfield. He has an amazing record service to this country and to our relationship with Japan. And I'm delighted that he is recovering so well. He is well on the way to recovery, and we hope he'll be back with us and with you soon. Well, I'm delighted to have you here at the White House and have this opportunity to get better acquainted. We face many challenges, but working together, I think we can overcome them, and my government will work closely and properly with yours during this next year. I think it's most important that we demonstrate to our citizens and the world that we are working together as close allies and friends on global and bilateral issues. Your defense efforts, Japan's defense efforts, show that you share our belief that strength is the shortest deterrent, and that a strength and solidarity of our allies played a major role in bringing the Soviets to the arms control table. We've made great strides in defense cooperation and burden sharing, and I think we must continue to do so. We've made great strides in defense cooperation and burden sharing, and I think we must continue our progress in both, and I appreciate your decision to increase support to our forces in Japan. Thank you very much, Mr. President. We too.
