QUOTE OF THE DAY
President Bush Meets with Small Business Leaders in Albania
Cafe Cela
Fusche Kruje, Albania

THE PRESIDENT: One of the exciting moments for our trip to Albania is to meet with small business owners. Laura and I thank the Mayor, we thank the owner of the restaurant, and we thank these entrepreneurs for joining us to talk about your story, about your dreams, and about the opportunities a micro-loan program, provided by the taxpayers of the United States is giving you to create jobs.

And so we're excited to be here. Thank you for coming. And we're looking forward to hearing your stories.

Thank you.
