PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: BHUTTO ARRIVAL
WASHINGTON, D.C.
JUNE 6, 1989
Prime Minister Bhutto, Mr. Zardari, distinguished guests.
Franklin Roosevelt once called this "The house owned by all
the American People." Well, on behalf of all the American
people, Barbara and I are honored to welcome you to the White
House.
Your visit marks an occasion for both us to celebrate and
renew the ties of friendship between democratic Pakistan and the
United States. And to chart new ways to strengthen old bonds in
the many years to come.
These bonds are formal but, they are also personal. For you
are no stranger to America, nor to Americans themselves.
We remember you as a college student, eager to learn from us
-- and eager to teach us about your homeland. We remember you,
standing beside your father at the United Nations as he pleaded
the cause of Pakistan.
2
We remember your visits as a courageous opposition leader,
tireless in your zeal to foster democratic change. And now we
are proud to greet you as Prime Minister and leader of a great
nation.
Woodrow Wilson once said, "I believe in democracy because it
releases the energies of every human being." " Madame Prime
Minister, the people of Pakistan have chosen you to help
democracy flourish in Pakistan.
This return to democracy under your leadership deserves, and
has won, America's profound admiration. It has strengthened
America's already firm resolve to work closely with Pakistan.
I congratulate you and your people. And I salute those in
your country -- civil and military -- whose adherence to the
constitutional process was so important in bringing about
democracy in Pakistan.
Madame Prime Minister, your visit is a time to reaffirm a
historic relationship newly forged on the anvil of democracy.
But it is also a time to look ahead -- and to reaffirm liberty
and freedom.
3
Both our governments are in their first year. Let us use
that fact to our advantage. By building on the fundamental
strength of our friendship, let us craft new ideas and
initiatives to meet the challenges of our changing world.
I have looked forward to this meeting. You will find us
frank and open, as befits old friends. And attentive listeners
who value your judgement.
To America, you are a woman of great personal courage and
faith. To America, you are a wise leader who embodies the very
spirit of her people. To all of us, you are a living symbol of
those who risk all and sacrifice much so that others might know
democracy and freedom.
Madame Prime Minster, welcome to America.

America's already firm resolve to aid Pakistan's security and
economy.
For that achievement, I congratulate you and the people of
Pakistan. And I salute those in your country -- civil and
military -- whose adherence to constitutional processes was so
important in bringing it about.
Madame Prime Minister, your visit is a time to reaffirm an
historic relationship newly welded on the anvil of democracy.

of liberty and freedom.

BHUTTO ARRIVAL
WASHINGTON, D.C.
JUNE 6, 1989
Prime Minister Bhutto, Mr. Zardari, distinguished guests.
Franklin Roosevelt once called this "The house owned by all
the American People." On their behalf, Barbara and I are honored
to welcome you to the White House.
Your visit marks an occasion for us to celebrate and renew
the ties of friendship between democratic Pakistan and the United
States. And to chart new ways to strengthen old bonds in the
many years to come.
These bonds are formal but, they are also personal. For you
are no stranger to America, nor to Americans themselves.
We remember you as a college student, eager to learn from us
-- and eager to teach us about your homeland. We remember you,
standing beside your father at the United Nations as he pleaded
the cause of Pakistan.

We remember your visits as a courageous opposition leader,
tireless in your zeal to foster democratic change. And now we
are proud to greet you as Prime Minister and leader of a great

Minister, the people of Pakistan have chosen you to help

Re:
Comments on Bhutto drafts
I only have one comment on the three drafts. The departure
statement has some good tough language on Afghanistan at the bottom
of page 2/top of page 3. From a domestic political point of view,
I think it's vital that we preserve that language as is.

and renew the ties of friendship between democratic Pakistan and the
United States -- (applause) -- and to chart new ways to strengthen
old bonds in the many years to come. These bonds are formal, but
they are also personal, for you are no stranger to America nor to
Americans themselves.
We remember you as a college student eager to learn,
eager to teach us about your homeland, and I remember first meeting
you at your father's side at the United Nations as he pleaded the
cause of Pakistan with such eloquence. (Applause.) And we remember
your visits as a courageous opposition leader, tireless in your zeal
to foster democratic change. And now we are proud to greet you as
Prime Minister and leader of a great nation. (Applause.)
Woodrow Wilson once said, "I believe in democracy because
it releases the energies of every human being." And Madam Prime
Minister, the people of Pakistan have chosen you to help democracy
flourish in Pakistan. (Applause.) This return to democracy under
your leadership deserves and has won America's profound admiration.
It has strengthened America's already firm resolve to work closely
with Pakistan. (Applause.) And I congratulate you and the people of
Pakistan, and I salute those in your country, civil and military,
whose adherence to the constitutional process was so important in
bringing about democracy in Pakistan. (Applause.)
Madam Prime Minister, your visit is a time to reaffirm an
historic relationship newly forged on the anvil of democracy. But it
is also a time to look ahead, to reaffirm liberty and freedom. And
both our governments are in their first year, and let us use that to
our advantage by building on the fundamental strength of our
friendship. Let us craft new ideas, new initiatives to meet the
challenges of our changing world.
I have looked forward to this meeting verv much. And vou
- 2 -
distinguished guests, I'm delighted to be in Washington, the capital
of freedom, as the guest of a President who knows Pakistan well and
has been its friend. I recall our first meeting in 1971 at the
United Nations at a crucial turn in Pakistan's history. The
U.S.-Pakistan friendship has grown in strength; we are friends and
partners.
Standing here on this beautiful lawn one sees the
monuments which recall America's odyssey of freedom. As I look at
these monuments, I think of Pakistan, which too has traveled a long
and difficult way along the path of freedom. (Applause.)
It was not so long ago that Pakistan was a dictatorship
and I was in prison. But, as you said, Mr. President, giving heart
to all those living under tyranny, the day of the dictator is over.
(Applause.)
Today I am privileged to stand here as the elected Prime
Minister of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan; a woman Prime Minister
of a Muslim country, whose people have given a verdict against
tyranny and for freedom, progress, and human dignity, for justice and
for the rule of law. Our two nations are united in a partnership
inspired by common goals and shared interests, a partnership now
bound by democracy.
The United States and the people of Pakistan have also
stood together as partners over the last difficult decade, helping
restore freedom and independence to Afghanistan. Our countries have
developed a vital security relationship and a major program of
economic cooperation. This has enabled Pakistan to work with
confidence for peace in our region. And today, Mr. President, we
begin our discussions of a new partnership. We are here today with
new priorities to talk to the world's greatest democracy. New
challenges confront us in the closing but complex phase of the Afghan
war. And as we focus on the economic, social, and educational needs
of our people.
We come to talk about how we, together, as partners may
take our relationship and our people into the 21st century. And as
we begin on this auspicious day in this magnificent country of
freedom, achievement, and opportunity, I offer a simple prayer. May
God bless all countries of the world with the enduring values of
freedom, achievement, and opportunity that we see in this great
country of yours.
I thank you, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. (Applause.)
