John Howard:
"Can I first of all thank the Vice President for the clarity of his
message. There is a great sense of admiration regarding President Bush and
you yourself in the leadership that you have given to the world's response
to the monstrosity of the 11th of September last year. You have our strong
support and the deep commitment of like-minded countries in governments all
around the world." 11 June 2002
Dick Cheney:
"Thank you Prime Minister."
