Quote of the Day:

President Bush: I want to welcome you all right here to the people's house. I'm pleased you could join us for this annual celebration of Black Music Month. This is an event I've always looked forward to. It's a chance to listen to some good music and to be with some good friends. It's an opportunity for us to thank artists whose work inspire our country. And so thanks for coming. I hope you enjoy the day as much as I do.

President Bush meets with Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, Friday, June 22, 2007.

President Bush makes remarks as he meets with Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, Friday, June 22, 2007.

President Bush: I explained to the President we want to have good relations with Vietnam. And we've got good economic relations. We signed a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement. And I was impressed by the growing Vietnamese economy.

I also made it very clear that in order for relations to grow deeper that it's important for our friends to have a strong commitment to human rights and freedom and democracy. I explained my strong belief that societies are enriched when people are allowed to express themselves freely or worship freely.

I thanked the President for his continued cooperation on the issue of POWs and MIAs. I saw firsthand that cooperation when I was in Vietnam. We are now extending our search to missing remains in some of the coastal regions of Vietnam … [T]hank you for the frank and candid discussion.
