Remarks by the President and Prime Minister Tony Blair in Photo Opportunity
On the Grounds of Camp David Maryland
3:23 P.M. EST
Q How
is it going so far?
THE
PRESIDENT: Pretty darn good.
Q How
was lunch? Is it true that Churchill once came to this
cabin?
THE
PRESIDENT: That's exactly right.
Q How
goes the get-acquainted session?
THE
PRESIDENT: Good, John, thank you. Ambassador
Johndroe was telling us where to go.
Q Sir,
can you tell us the historical significance of where you're standing?
THE
PRESIDENT: This is where Prime Minister Winston Churchill,
the first visitor to Camp David, stayed. It's a huge honor
for Laura and me to welcome the current Prime Minister and his
wife. And we're about to have a press availability to answer
all these difficult questions that you're throwing at us,
John. I promised the Prime Minister that you in particular
would behave well during the press conference -- and Fournier.
All right,
we're actually now going to go for a walk of a couple miles.
Q Mr.
Prime Minister, where's your coat?
MR.
BLAIR: It's around somewhere, but actually it's a lot warmer
than Canada.
THE
PRESIDENT: You shouldn't have noticed that.
