Ambassador Megalhaes, Mr. Rivinus, Mr. Berney, distinguished
guests and ladies and gentlemen:
This is the second occasion in the past two months that I have been
accorded the pleasure of extending a warm welcome to Maryland to
His Excellency, the Brazilian Ambassador, Mr. Megalhaes. I am happy
to say that both occasions were related to Maryland's association with
the State of Rio de Janeiro in the partners of the Alliance Program
which, as many of you know, has taken firm root and is flourishing
here and in Rio.
On December 11, Ambassador Megalhaes and I attended the Mary-

delegation of Marylanders reported on their successful trip to Rio de
Janeiro to inaugurate the Partners Program. Earlier this month, the
flag of the State of Rio de Janeiro flew proudly above our State House
