President Clinton. I am delighted to welcome my friend, President Mubarak, and his delegation from Egypt back to the White House to reaffirm the close partnership between the United States and Egypt. Under the wise and courageous leadership of President Mubarak, Egypt has been a key partner with the United States in working to build both regional security and global peace. I commend him for his vision and his dedication. Nowhere has that been more crucial than in Egypt's own region.
