[1:58] for for
[2:36] Mr
[2:38] President Mr Vice
[2:40] President ladies and
[2:43] gentlemen Mr President an earlier
[2:46] visitor to the United States Charles
[2:50] Dickens described our American friends
[2:53] as by Nature
[2:56] Frank Brave cordial
[3:00] hospitable and
[3:03] affectionate that seems to me Mr
[3:06] President to be a perfect description of
[3:09] the man who has been my host for the
[3:12] last 48
[3:21] hours and it's not surprising therefore
[3:24] that I've so much enjoyed all our talks
[3:27] together whether the formal discussions
[3:31] in the Oval Office and how very much it
[3:33] suits you sir to be there or in the
[3:36] cabinet room or those less formal at the
[3:40] dinner
[3:41] table Mr President Henry David thoro
[3:44] once said that it takes two to speak the
[3:48] truth one to speak and another to hear
[3:53] well sometimes one of us has spoken and
[3:56] sometimes the other but together Mr
[3:59] President
[4:00] I would like to think that we have
[4:02] spoken the
[4:04] truth during
[4:10] the during the visit to which I've
[4:13] already referred Charles Dickens like me
[4:16] also visited Capitol
[4:18] Hill he described the congressman he met
[4:22] there as striking to look at hard to
[4:27] deceive prompt to to
[4:30] act lions in energy Americans in strong
[4:36] and general
[4:38] impulse having been there and agreeing
[4:41] with Dickens as I do I'm delighted to
[4:44] see so many members of Congress here
[4:46] this evening and if Dickens was right
[4:50] relations between the legislative and
[4:52] executive branches should be smooth
[4:55] indeed over the next four years after
[4:58] all prompt to act act and lions in
[5:00] energy should mean Mr President you get
[5:03] that expenditure cutting program through
[5:05] very easily
