PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: KIEV LUNCHEON
August 1, 1991
Good afternoon, and thank you for that warm welcome. I'm
glad to be here in the home of "Mother Russia" -- and I'm
grateful to Chairman Kravchuk and the Ukranian people for
welcoming me so warmly through your "Golden Gate."
I want to set the record straight. It's not true that I've-
come to your country to be a contestant on "Field of Miracles --
Capital Show. " I've felt very much at home here though -- I
don't know whether it's the generous hospitality, or the Big Macs
at the Moscow McDonald's.
Barbara and I are delighted -- and moved -- to be here in
this ancient city. Kiev still dazzles with the beauty known to
Prince Vladimir 1,000 years ago. In a way, he brought to Kiev
not only Christianity but also his own perestroika, turning this
city from a place of war into a beacon of peace and faith.
But the importance of Kiev isn't just historical. Exciting
changes are taking place here now -- as you face challenges and
shape your own future. In this courageous work, perhaps you can
find strength in Tolstoy's words: "The strongest of all warriors
are these two -- Time and Patience. II And, we might add: Truth.
The people of the United States hope that you will also find
strength in the knowledge that we support democratization and the
move toward political pluralism.
We also celebrate our relationship with the people of the
2
Soviet Union in all of its republics. President Franklin
Roosevelt wrote more than 50 years ago: "the cooperation of our
great nations will inevitably be of the highest importance in the
preservation of world peace.' How true those words still are
today. Think of the dramatic world events that have grown out of
our nations' partnership -- the creation of a new world order;
the coalition in the Gulf; progress in Angola and Central
America; and our ongoing efforts for peace in the Middle East.
It's important to keep that spirit of friendship strong. We
have come to the Soviet Union to celebrate a historic arms
control treaty. We have also come to congratulate President
Gorbachev and other leaders on the beginnings of reform. And we
have come to look resolutely toward the challenges of the future,
including the Soviet Union's quest to create a free market
economy and a functioning democracy.
We have come to this lovely, historic city to meet with
republic leaders like Chairman Kravchuk, and to remember
Hilarion's call to the people of Kiev: "Behold your city, radiant
with majesty
adorned with holy icons and fragrant with
thyme
beholding all this, rejoice and be of good cheer. II
My courageous Ukranian friends -- rejoice and be of good
cheer, because our futures hold promise of great excitement. May
God bless both our lands.
