 The President and I have had what I believe to be a very important discussion on the problem of acid rain. We have made a significant step forward in that a matter that has been on the back burner really for the last three years has now been brought up forward and I think on both sides we acknowledge that our problem is common in nature and requires a joint solution. So the President and I will be talking about this again tomorrow and in the future but I think that we have managed to break a deadlock which has prevented some common action on this. From the Canadian point of view as you know I've taken the position that it's important that we clean up our own act and Canada has begun that process with a comprehensive national program and so there will be a document released I suppose within the next half hour or so but to ensure that this matter, this matter that the President and I both agree is of such great importance to our respective countries to ensure that this never finds its way again onto the back burner we have agreed today to the appointment of two special envoys of great excellence and influence and uncommon access to us as leaders and they will carry the matters forward and I think help us achieve real results they'll report to us on a regular basis and I appreciate the President's commitment as demonstrated by the caliber of his appointment which he will announce momentarily. For our part the Government of Canada is particularly pleased to announce the appointment of the Honourable William G. Davis, former Prime Minister of Ontario as our special ambassador in this vital area. I think today that we have made an important step forward in this process of more assets. We have started the process of putting the order of our affairs. We are heading I think towards a common solution and there is a knowledge of both sides that there is a common origin of this problem, that we cannot act alone, that the fate of our two countries is highly related to each other. So the Government of Canada has already started its own national program in this area and it was great pleasure that today in order to ensure that we never find this vital question again as a family member, that we have designed personal ambassadors of exceptional quality to ensure that the documents are reported in a timely manner and on a regular basis and it was great pleasure that I had the pleasure to confirm to Mr. President the nomination of the Honourable William G. Davis, former Prime Minister of the province of Ontario. Thank you and Mr. President, I will speak to you. Well, I will only take a second here simply to endorse what the Prime Minister has told you. I am very pleased with the outcome of the discussion. We touched upon a number of things of interest and we will be dealing with those in the meetings to come tomorrow. But a particular concern to us was this issue of acid rain and I am very pleased with the envoys that have been chosen. The Prime Minister has named a man that I am sure you all know has access to him and has a standing that will make him capable of carrying out what has to be a joint undertaking as the Prime Minister has said. For our own part, my nominee and he has accepted is Drew Lewis, the former Secretary of Transportation, who has agreed to take on this task and so together we will find an answer to this problem and I couldn't be happier about getting this underway and off dead center. We have agreed there will be no questions so I can't take your question there but we shall go forward with finding an answer to what is a problem that belongs to both of us. I think it is very significant that our two countries should work together on all matters of environment because the entrusted to us is the care of a very unique continent and a very beautiful continent and I think all of us share the desire to protect this for generations of Canadians and Americans yet to come. Thank you.
