Dear Bernard:
Thank you for calling on me in Washington on February 5.
I hope you found our meeting as useful as I did.
At that meeting, you gave me the concept paper on
transatlantic relations prepared during France's EU
Presidency. I wanted to let you know that I welcome the
generous spirit in which the paper was drafted and that
I share the belief that the United States and Europe can
and must tackle a difficult agenda together. The topics
proposed for our dialogue - effective multilateralism,
the Middle East, Afghanistan/Pakistan, and Russia -
track very much with my own view of the priority areas
for transatlantic dialogue. I believe, and hope you
agree, that during the time since that meeting, the
United States and Europe have in fact been pursuing a
very productive dialogue in just these areas.
I want you to know that I personally - and the entire
Administration - remain determined to continue to work
closely with our EU partners as we pursue this
critically important common agenda.
Sincerely yours,
Hillary Rodham Clinton
