Your Majesty:
In the spirit of friendship and admiration from the American people, I wish
to congratulate you and the people of Spain as you celebrate la Fiesta Nacional
de Espaņa on October 12.
The United States also observes this day as a National Holiday as we remember
the historic importance of the arrival of Christopher Columbus to the Americas.
We are also currently celebrating the contribution of Spanish culture and people
of Hispanic origin during our National Hispanic Heritage Month, which concludes
October 15.
Today our countries share a strong and lasting friendship. Spain remains a
vital ally of the United States, and we look forward to further strengthening
our relations.
Sincerely,
