WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1992
7:25 P.M.
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen: Barbara and I are
honored to have you join us here tonight. It is a particular
pleasure to welcome to the United States six good friends and
neighbors -- the presidents of Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru,

Ecuador and Bolivia. I am delighted that we have gathered in my
home state of Texas and in this gracious city of San Antonio.
For centuries, San Antonio has stood as an important cultural
crossroads of the Americas. 11
We meet at a time of great hope for all the people of the
Americas. \ In almost every nation in the hemisphere, people
enjoy self-government and respect for human rights. \ We're
making steady progress to improve our peoples' quality of life
through more open trade and investment, by creating more jobs.
That is why I am committed more strongly than ever to completing
the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico, Canada and
the United States. And building upon that, we will realize the
vision I call the Enterprise for the Americas Initiative -- for
robust trade and investment from the Arctic Ocean to the Straits
of Magellan. 11
During our meetings this week in San Antonio, we will refine
and intensify our common efforts against the menace of drugs.
Each of our nations is making progress: Bolivia has lowered the
amount of coca cultivation. Peru has overcome terrorist threats
to halt the growth of coca cultivation. Ecuador is moving
against money launderers and traffickers on its territory.
Colombia has jailed its most violent drug traffickers and is
seizing record quantities of drugs. Venezuela is clamping down
on those attempting to use its territory to ship drugs to Europe.
Mexico has reduced cultivation of both opium poppies and
marijuana while seizing record amounts of drugs.
For each of our nations, the ultimate stakes are the same:
the battle against drugs is truly a war -- a struggle for the
minds, bodies and souls of our young people. \ In the United

illegal drugs is down in every category -- among the rich and the

seniors using illegal drugs is the lowest since we began

VAN CLIBURN / STATE DINNER
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS / WEDNESDAY, FEB. 26, 1992
--
Thank you for a performance every bit as good as what we
enjoyed at the White House two years ago.
--
Your talent warmed Russian hearts during the cold war and
set a standard that's still difficult to match.
--
Your name is still invoked by parents trying to get their
children to practice after school.

Like me, you had the good sense to settle in Texas.

PROPOSED TOAST TO BE DELIVERED BY THE PRESIDENT
AT THE DINNER IN HONOR OF THE SAN ANTONIO DRUG SUMMIT
Messrs Presidents and distinguished guests, Barbara and I are
honored to have you join us here tonight. It is a particular
pleasure to have with us the presidents of six other, sovereign
and democratic American republics.

Ladies and Gentlemen, these are historic times for our
hemisphere. While the collapse of communism in Europe has held

attention has been paid to the increasing depth of democratic

relieved by this reaffimation of democracy. Americans all,
north and south, now acknowledge government of the people as
the only legitimate form of government in this hemisphere.
States, through rigorous law enforcement and aerial spraying
programs we have reduced marijuana cultivation. Of course our
major success has been in demand reduction: In the past six
years we have reduced the number of current users of cocaine by
two-thirds. Adolescent use of illegal drugs is down in every
category, among all races, rich and poor. The number of high
school seniors using illegal drugs is the lowest since we began
measuring.
So, when we gather here tonight to chart our actions, we need
not be daunted by what remains undone, we can look at what we
have accomplished and take renewed vigor as we face the days
ahead.
Before I close, I would like to remind those present that the
war on drugs, like any other, has its casualties. Every day,
and even as we speak, brave men and women run grave risks to
protect our children and our future from drugs and those who
deal in them.
Before we resume the tasks remaining, let us remember and toast
those who have laid down their lives in the cause we mutually
support: a drug-free hemisphere.
Aside from the first task of assuring the continuation of our
democracies, little can be more important than securing the
health and well-being of our people from the multiple evils
brought about by drug consumption, production and trafficking.
Narcotics control is a domestic concern for each of us. We
have learned that we cannot be effective at home unless we
join together internationally.
Here too there has been progress. As late as when I came to
office finger pointing and mutual recriminations were almost as
common as cooperation and help. "Blame the consumers!" said
some. "Blame the producers!" said others. How simplistic
those comments were. Today, we know and publicly acknowledge
that every nation represented here tonight has problems with
consumption, that every nation represented has problems with
production, manufacturing, transportation and money
laundering. Yes, some of us have more of one or the other, but
we all have all problems.
But we are all making progress. Bolivia has lowered the amount
of coca under cultivation; in spite of a serious problem from
Sendero Luminoso, Peru has halted the growth of coca
cultivation; Ecuador is moving against the money launderers and
traffickers beginning to move into its territory; Colombia has
jailed the most violent of its traffickers and is seizing
record quantities of drugs; Venezuela has begun to clamp down
on those who wish to use its territory as a springboard to send
drugs to Europe; Mexico has reduced the cultivation of both
opium poppies and marijuana while seizing record amounts of
drugs. Here in the United

VAN CLIBURN
Van Cliburn began playing the piano at the age of three with his
mother, Rildea Beg O'Bryan cliburn. He made his orchestral
debut with the Houston Symphony at age twelve. A graduate of The
Juilliard School, Van Cliburn's exceptional talent won
international acclaim in 1958 as winner of the First Tchaikovsky
Competition in Moscow. The last thirty years have been spent in
rigorous recording schedules and annual world tours. His
recording of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 was the first
classical album to go platinum, selling one million copies.
After a nine year sabbatical beginning in 1978, Van Cliburn moved
to Fort Worth, Texas, returning to a full schedule of concert
performances. He plays an active role in the international
competition nameed in his honor, and contributes much of his time
nurturing the careers of young artists.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS:
DRUG SUMMIT DINNER TOAST
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
[date] WEDNES DAY, FEB. 26,1992
[time]
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen: Barbara and I are
honored to have you join us here tonight. It is a particular
pleasure to welcome to the United States six good friends and
neighbors -- the presidents of Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru,
Ecuador and Bolivia. I am delighted that we have gathered in my
home state of Texas and in this gracious city of San Antonio.
For centuries, San Antonio has stood as an important cultural
crossroads of the Americas.
We gather at a time of great hope for all the people of the
Americas. In almost every nation in the hemisphere, people enjoy
self-government and respect for human rights. We're making
steady progress to improve everyone's quality of life through
more open trade and investment, by creating more jobs. That is
why I am committed more strongly than ever to completing the
North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico, Canada and the
United States. And building upon that, we will realize the
vision I call the Enterprise for the Americas Initiative -- for
robust trade and investment from the Arctic Ocean to the Straits
of Magellan.
During our meetings this week in San Antonio, we will refine
and intensify our common efforts against the menace of drugs.
Each of our nations is making progress: Bolivia has lowered the
amount of coca cultivation. Peru has overcome terrorist threats
to halt the growth of coca cultivation. Ecuador is moving
against money launderers and traffickers on its territory.
Colombia has jailed its most violent drug traffickers and is
seizing record quantities of drugs. Venezuela is clamping down
on those attempting to use its territory to ship drugs to Europe.
Mexico has reduced cultivation of both opium poppies and
marijuana while seizing record amounts of drugs.
For each of our nations, the ultimate stakes are the same:
Struggle
the battle against drugs is truly a war -- a war for the minds,
bodies and souls of our young people. In the United States,
we're stepping up treatment and prevention programs -- and we're
toughening our prosecution and punishment of drug kingpins.
We're seeing results. In the United States over the past
six years, we've reduced the number of current users of cocaine
by two-thirds. Adolescent use of illegal drugs is down in every
category -- among the rich and the poor, among young people of
all races. The number of high school seniors using illegal drugs
is the lowest since we began measuring.
We must do more. Drug abuse and drug violence threatens to
dear
destroy our children and everything else we hold dera. At risk
is the civilization we share: our common inheritance and our
common future.
Let us renew our resolve. Let us strengthen our commitment.
As we work to advance the quality of life in our hemisphere in so
many ways, let us win a lasting victory in the war against drugs.
May God bless you and all the peoples of the Americas. And
may I raise a glass in honor of our distinguished guests and the
important mission all of us share.

AT DRUG SUMMIT DINNER TOAST

San Antonio, Texas
8:01 P.M. CST
THE PRESIDENT: Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen:
Barbara and I are honored to have you join us here tonight. It is a
particular pleasure to welcome to the United States our good friends
and our neighbors from Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Scuador, Bolivia and
Venezuela. I am delighted that we've gathered in my home state,
Secretary Baker's home state of Texas with the Governor here, the
Mayor of this city here -- in this gracious city of San Antonio. For
centuries, San Antonio has stood as an important cultural crossroads
of the Americas.
We meet at a time of great hope for all the people of
the Americas. In almost every nation in the hemisphere, people enjoy
self-government and respect for human rights. We're making steady
progress to improve our people's quality of life through more open
trade and investment, by creating more jobs. That's why I am
committed more strongly than ever to completing the North American
Free Trade Agreement linking the economies of Mexico, Canada and the
United States. And building upon that, we will realize the vision I
call the Enterprise for the Americas Initiative -- for robust trade
and investment from the Arctic Ocean to the Straits of Magellan.
During our meetings this week in San Antonio, we will
refine and intensify our common efforts against the menace of drugs.
Each of our nations is making progress: Bolivia has successfully
intensified its law enforcement efforts against cocaine traffickers.
Peru has taken important steps to control airstrips used by
traffickers to move cocaine to Colombia. Ecuador is moving against
money launderers and traffickers on its territory. Colombia has
jailed some of its most violent drug traffickers and is seizing
record quantities of drugs. Venezuela is clamping down on those
attempting to use its territory to ship drugs to Europe and America.
Mexico has reduced cultivation of both opium poppies and marijuana by
unprecedented amounts, while seizing record amounts of cocaine
through Operation Halcon.
For each of our nations, the battle against drugs is
truly a war. The ultimate stakes are the same: the minds, bodies
and the souls of our young people, so many of whom have been hurt or
destroyed by the violent world of the drug dealers. In the United
States, we're stepping up treatment, prevention and research programs
-- and we're toughening our prosecution and punishment of drug
kingpins.
We're seeing results on the demand side as well. In the
United States over the past six years, we've reduced the number of
cocaine -- regular users of cocaine by two-thirds. Adolescent use of
all types of illegal drugs is down. The number of high school
seniors using illegal drugs is the lowest since we began measuring
their drug use.

And once again, a warm welcome to San Antonio, Texas.
