    Remarks to the United States-Egypt Presidents' Council
    April 5, 1995

        Let me begin by welcoming you all to the White House and here to the
    Roosevelt Room and thanking you for your willingness to participate in
    this council.
        I think all of you know that the United States and Egypt have had
    and continue to have a very close relationship, and we believe that our
    future interests are very much bound up together. We believe we have to
    do more in the economic area. We need more partnerships and more success
    stories. And for my part, I am very, very committed to trying to further
    the work of increased economic interaction, bringing about more
    prosperity, more opportunity.
        So I want to thank both the Americans who are here and the Egyptians
    who are here for your willingness to serve and commit the resources and
    the efforts of this Government to the success of this endeavor. And I
    know I speak for the Vice President, the Secretary of State, and of
    course, our Trade Ambassador and Secretary of Commerce. We are convinced
    that this is an important part of our common future.
        Mr. President.

    Note: The President spoke at 1 p.m. in the Roosevelt Room at the White
    House. A tape was not available for verification of the content of these
