Vote of thanks from the President..

THE PRESIDENT: It's my honor to welcome Silvio Berlusconi, the Prime Minister of Italy, to Camp David. I've been looking forward to having a chance to spend some quality time in a quality place. We're going to have a good visit, meeting about our common interests. And we'll have a good lunch with my wife. And I've invited my brother and my sister -- I want my family members to meet a good friend, a strong leader.

We're making progress in the war against terror. I tell the American people all the time that we're doing everything we can to protect our homeland by hunting down killers one person at a time. And yesterday, thanks to the efforts of our folks and people in Pakistan, we captured one of the planners and organizers of the September the 11th attack that murdered thousands of people, including Italians. One by one, we're hunting the killers down. We are relentless; we are strong; and we're not going to stop.

Secondly, I had a chance to speak to the United Nations to talk about another threat face -- that we face -- that we face, all of us face, in the civilized world -- and that is a threat of weapons of mass destructions in the hands of leaders who disregard human liberty, that do not believe in freedom; a leader, in this case, who's poisoned his own people, poisoned his neighbors, attacked in his neighborhood, and refuses -- refuses -- to comply with United Nations' regulations, as a matter of fact, defies the United Nations. And we're making progress.

And so, Mr. Prime Minister, you're here at an important time. I look forward to talking with you, and thank you for coming.
