PRESIDENT BUSH: Mr. President, wele to the United States. Poland and the United States have a very unique and strong relationship. And the President and I have just had a very constructive dialogue. And, by the way, Mr. President, a lot of my fellow citizens who trace their heritage back to Poland who -- are delighted to wele you to America.
And along those lines, I fully understand a lot of Polish citizens would like to travel to the United States. And so my friend, the President, has once again brought up to me the visa waiver issue -- which I fully understand, Mr. President, and thank you for your candor. And I will continue to work with Congress to change a law that needs to be changed.
Poland is a strong ally. And Poland has taken some very difficult decisions to help a young democracy survive in the face of extremist threats. And I want to thank you, Mr. President, and the Polish people for supporting the people of Afghanistan and Iraq.
War is never popular. But having heard from the Iraqi leaders today, and their expression of gratitude not only to the Polish government, but the Polish people and the American people for supporting this democratic experiment, Mr. President, it reminds me of how important what we're doing is.
America is, of course, pleased that the Polish economy is strong. We want our friends to prosper. Of course, the President, in all modesty, reminded me that's the purview of the Prime Minister. (Laughter.) Of course, I reminded the President he knows the Prime Minister quite well. (Laughter.)
And, finally, we talked about how we can enhance mutual security issues. And there's no better symbol of our desire to work for peace and security than working on a missile defense system -- a missile defense system that would provide security for Europe from single or dual-launched regimes that may emanate from parts of the world where leaders don't particularly care for our way of life, and/or in the process of trying to develop serious weapons of mass destruction，五姊妹翻譯社.
And I thank you, Mr. President, for your vision and your understanding about the nature of the world in which we live. And I thank you for working on behalf of securing the security of others. And we continue to work and consult very closely with you. And so we wele you. Thank you for ing.
PRESIDENT KACZYNSKI: (As translated.) Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. President has already briefed you about the issues we were talking about during our meeting. And concerning visa waiver, we discussed the issue, however it is in the hands of the Congress. We do understand that the legislative process in the U.S. is very -- it is stable and it is really hard to change that binding law, that existing law. So we are looking forward to positive changes in this area.
Another very important issue is the issue of missile defense. And I would like to emphasize that we discussed it in terms of defensive instruments, because it is aimed at defense of our democracies against the countries who might have, or already do have nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction. So it is really a defense instrument, missile defense instrument. And so I do hope that all this project, the whole project will be pleted successfully.
And we also discussed other forums which could foster and strengthen our mutual relations and also the NATO. And this issue of strengthening our cooperation will be discussed at the level of the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America, and also our Defense Minister -- and on the level of experts. And our conversation, our meeting is not over yet, and there are some issues that we --
