In 1998, President Clinton invited Fernando Henrique Cardoso, President of Brazil from 1995 to 2003, to an informal dinner and overnight visit to Camp David on June 7. Cardoso enjoyed a close relationship with President Clinton, and was only the second head of state to stay overnight at Camp David during the Clinton Administration.
