KENNEDY ON WELCOMING POPE BENEDICT XVI TO THE UNITED STATES

Senator Edward M. Kennedy released the following statement after welcoming Pope Benedict XVI to the United States today at the White House ceremony.

"Pope Benedict's visit to the United States is a remarkable opportunity for Catholics and for all Americans to reflect on how we can come together to bring healing to the entire world and to all people of every faith.
