Q Mr. President, can you share with us your
message for the European leaders? PRESIDENT
BUSH: See, Fournier asked you to ask
that. (Laughter.) I haven't made up my mind who
I'm calling on at the press conference yet, so if you don't behave, you
may not get called.
Q And chances keep diminishing, right,
sir? (Laughter.) PRESIDENT
BUSH: Did you put him up to that, Ron?
MR. FOURNIER: I'm not that smart,
sir. (Laughter.) PRESIDENT
BUSH: Let me just say this - I'm honored to be the first
United States President to come to Sweden, and I appreciate so very
much the hospitality that we've received, and I'm so looking forward to
these discussions. What the people of Sweden and Europe will
realize is that mine is an administration that is deeply committed to a
prosperous Europe and a whole Europe and a free Europe. And
we look forward to a constructive relationship.
END 12:26 P.M. (Local)
