I'm very pleased to be here as always.

We were pleased with our progress and believe the meetings this week have injected new momentum and energy into the negotiations.

Vietnam and the United States have a very broad relationship that governs not just economic issues but the whole range of issues and obviously we will continue to make our views known with respect to some of the concerns, particularly as the relationship continues to be strengthened over the course of the next year.

When I was growing up, there were very few women athletes. I remember watching Olga Corbett, but Peggy Fleming and Janet Lynn were my role models. I never dreamt that I could be at that level. I remember thinking they seemed so elegant and regal and powerful and feminine.

I didn't know about competition or the Olympics until Peggy Fleming won in 1968. My mother looked after all of the competition stuff. I just skated. I didn't really love competition, but that was the only way to get better. You'd see more talent.

There were no competitions on television. The first skating competition I ever remember seeing on television was the 1968 Olympics when Peggy Fleming won.
