It's his first visit here, which I'm surprised by, but we're certainly delighted to have him. In January, as part of America's semiquincentennial celebration, I had the profound honor of visiting and speaking addressing the Parliament in the [UK]. I was the first US speaker of the House ever allowed to do so. and we so enjoyed that.
