00:00Mr. President, congratulations.

00:05A couple of very different questions.

00:06One is Rwanda, 1994.

00:08As you grew up in New York, we all knew how horrific

00:11those attacks were.

00:12Congratulations on the treaty.

00:14There are talks that perhaps...

00:16The President is going to take place today at

00:173 o'clock in the Oval Office.

00:18We're going to have a signing with Rwanda and

00:20the Congo.

00:22So I'm a little out of my league in that one

00:25because I didn't know too much about it.

00:26I knew one thing.

00:27They were going at it for many years and

00:30with machetes.

00:31It is one of the worst, one of the worst wars

00:34that anyone's ever seen.

00:36And I just happened to have somebody that was able

00:38to get it settled.

00:39I mean, just a brilliant person who is very

00:42comfortable in that part of the world.

00:44It's a very dangerous part of the world.

00:45They said, are you uncomfortable there?

00:47People are being killed.

00:49School children are being raided and killed.

00:52And I don't even want to say how, but as viciously

00:54as I've ever heard.

00:56Are you uncomfortable?

00:57No, that's the part of the world that I know.

00:59Very comfortable.

01:00Was able to get them together and sell it.

01:02And not only that, we're getting for the United

01:04States a lot of the mineral rights from the

01:07Congo as part of it.

01:08They're so honored to be here.

01:10They never thought they'd be coming to it.

01:11Look, this is a very tough part of the world.

01:14They never thought, they were just telling me,

01:16they never thought they'd ever be coming to the

01:18White House.

01:19And they're so honored.

01:20And so we're going to give them a great big

01:21reception.

01:22But that's after many years of fighting.

01:23It's a great thing.

01:24That's at three o'clock, I believe.
