Press Gaggle by Tony Snow - 6/19/2006
MR. SNOW: Okay, quickly. The President, obviously, will be giving an address to the Merchant Marine Academy, the first President to do so. ... Incidentally, we're going to work on some way to make this easier for everybody, so these are easier to hear. We're working on some technological fixes for gaggles on the plane. In any event, the President will be speaking to the Merchant Marine Academy, the first President to have done so. He obviously will be saluting the graduating class; in addition, reiterating the administration's position on Iran as the President gets ready to head off for consultations with the European Union later this week. Also on the schedule, the President will have policy time today at about 1:45 p.m., and tonight remarks at the 2006 President's Dinner at the Washington Convention Center.

MR. HADLEY: This is a real historic trip, to India and Pakistan. We'll of course be doing the India segment first. You may remember that during his campaign for first term, the President identified strengthening U.S.-India relationships as a priority of his foreign policy. He pointed out that India was a country with whom we not only had common interests, but common values -- committed democracy -- and that he saw India playing a role on a global stage, and a potential ally and partner for the United States in dealing with global issues.
