[Howard Kurtz, Cnn Anchor:] Let's stand by. We may be able to go back to the president. We had a problem with that transmission earlier. Let's listen in, in Brazil.

The successful conclusion of the Doha round by the end of 2006 is a priority for the United States, as much as it is for Brazil.

I think President Bush for his words of support for Brazil's determination to contribute to development and stability in our region. It is for all of these regions that we are very glad to see the U.S.'s willingness to include Brazil amongst those countries with whom Brazil the United States has a strategic and privileged dialogue. President Bush, what we leave for history is more than our immediate decisions. What really matters are those initiatives that take into account future generations as well as the need for us to face and overcome the major challenges of our time. Brazilian foreign policy transcends government. At the same time, we defend our national interests, we pursue major democratic values in the international sphere. In that sense, I once again insist that U.S.-Brazil relations are fundamental, and their improvement is a legacy that we should leave to those who will come after us. Thank you very much.
[George W. Bush, President Of The United States:] Mr. President, thank you very much. Laura and I are really pleased to be here on our first visit to Brazil. My only regret is that I am not able to travel around a lot of your country to see the vast beauty of Brazil.
