. . . . .
From Brazil's futuristic capital, Reagan flew to this throbbing city
of 12 million, crowded skyscrapers, narrow streets and noisy traffic.
He spoke and met with business leaders here in a mosaic-and-stone
palace used by the governor of the state of Sao Paulo. In the first
trace of ceremony during this visit, soldiers in scarlet jackets and
plumes stood at attention for his arrival.
To his audience of 1,000, he said: ''Estamos como Brazil e nao
mudamos,'' which he translated as, ''We are with you Brazil, we will
not waver.''
The audience, however, applauded only once during the speech, when
Reagan disclosed an offer for cooperation in space exploration.
Specifically he invited Brazil to send an astronaut to train with the
United States ''so that Brazil and the United States can one day
participate in a shuttle launch together as partners in space.''
