THE PRESIDENT:  Laura and I are welcome -- are pleased to welcome members of the Lantos family -- Mrs. Lantos, thanks for joining us -- and members of Congress who care deeply about democracy in Burma.  I'm going to sign a piece of legislation and a joint resolution that will continue some sanctions, propose new sanctions, and extend the import restrictions.  On the Burmese regime, our message is:  The United States believes in democracy and freedom.

Not only will I sign the joint resolution, I'm also looking forward to signing the Tom Lantos Block Burmese JADE Act of 2008.  Thank you all for joining us.  Thank you for your caring.
