``The interest and involvement of the US Administration, Members of Congress and sections of the Irish American Business community have been an invaluable and indispensable element of the peace process. We have much to thank all involved for. I am particularly pleased to welcome the visitors from the USA on the day when the Executive Committee of the New Assembly meets for the first time. I look forward to our ongoing relationship at all levels of society in the USA, in the development of the peace process which the visitors did so much to help create and sustain.''
