4. SOUNDBITE: (English) US President George W. Bush:
"The ABM Treaty is a relic of the past. It prevents freedom loving people from exploring the future and that's why we've got to lay it aside. And that's why we've got to have the framework - the discussions necessary - to explain to our friends and allies as well as Russia, that our intent is to make the world more peaceful. Not more dangerous. Our intent is to bring more stability into the world. And freedom loving people must recognise the true threats that face democracies in the 21st century. The days of the Cold War have ended. And so must the cold war mentality as far as I'm concerned. And I belive we're going to make great progress on this issue. I truly do. I realise it's going to require a lot of consultation. But I'm willing to listen. President Aznar had a lot of interesting points of view. He had a lot of very good questions to ask. One of them was your question. How do we know if it will work? And the only way to know if it will work will be for the United States to spend the dollars and have the capacity to do research and development on this very important issue."

6. SOUNDBITE: (English) US President George W. Bush
"This is an appropriate question, after I've had a chance to visit with all the leaders in Europe. I come to the conference believing that every leader is sincere about their desire to clean the world and so are we. We have a different approach. But we have the same goals. As I said earlier, I believe the Kyoto treaty is a flawed treaty. I think that its set unscientific goals and it didn't include developing countries. On the other hand I want to reiterate today and I will do so throughout the week, that we are committed to reducing greenhouse gasses in the United States. I had the opportunity to explain to the President that our nation faces an energy crisis and it's a serious issue. We've got incredible trading opportunities between our nations and between the United States and the EU. In order for us to be active traders, our nations' economy must recover. We've taken some steps toward that. We have sound monitory policy. We've got a new fiscal stimulus package. But we also must address energy.

8. SOUNDBITE: (English) US President George W. Bush:
"Our joint statement addresses a renewed commitment to the NATO alliance and a readiness to respond to any new threats. The statement also underscores our share of support for a new round of global trade negotiations this year. The United States and Spain have worked closely together to promote freedom, prosperity and stability both in the Americas and in South East Europe. We appreciate Spain's contribution towards peace in the Balkans.

10. SOUNDBITE: (English) US President George W. Bush:
"Democracies debate issues. Democracies represent the will of the people. The death penalty is the will of the people in the United States. There are some people who don't agree with the death penalty in our country. And it's not an easy subject for any of us. But the majority of the people - and our laws reflect the majority of the people - believe that if the death penalty is certain, just and fair, it'll deter crime."
11. Bush and Aznar embrace and leave podium

STORYLINE:


A majority of Americans believe that it deters crime, Bush argued on Tuesday as he opened his maiden European tour in Spain.
