REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AND PRIME MINISTER MIYAZAWA OF JAPAN
UPON DEPARTURE
The Rose Garden
4:31 P.M. EDT
PRESIDENT BUSH: Mr. Prime Minister, to you and to the
other members of the Japanese delegation, it is a real pleasure to
have you back here at the White House.
We've had a very successful discussion inside, one that
reaffirms the importance of the strong relationship between our two
nations. We discussed, of course, our global partnership. We
reviewed the prospects for the meeting that we're both attending --
next week's G-7 summit in Munich.
First on our agenda was our mutual commitment to global
peace and prosperity. And I'm encouraged by what the Prime Minister
told me about Japan's plans to stimulate economic growth. I had a
chance to fill him in on ours. Both of us confirmed our desire for a
strong and lasting recovery. And we also discussed the Uruguay Round
and the necessity of redoubling our efforts to increase global
prosperity. This will directly benefit both the people of the United
States and Japan, and we both want to see a successful conclusion of
that round.
I also told the Prime Minister that I welcome the
passage of Japan's Peace Cooperation Bill. That will allow Japan to
participate actively in building a lasting peace in Cambodia and in
other world trouble spots. And we agreed to cooperate on other
regional threats and problems from nuclear and missile proliferation
concerns in North Korea to the resolution of the POW-MIA issue with
Vietnam.
We talked about how at Munich we can assist in assuring
the safety of nuclear power in the former Soviet Union. We
reaffirmed full United States support for Japan's position on the
Northern Territories.
And finally, I assured the Prime Minister of the
importance of Asia to the United States, of our resolve to maintain
our forward military presence in the Pacific and our appreciation for
Japan's host nation support.
We've made progress in resolving some of the differences
between us, particularly with regard to our trade relationship. Over
the past six months, we've reached significant agreements to improve
American industries' access to Japan's $9 billion computer market, to
their $27 billion paper markets. And these agreements are very good
news to the American worker.
Still, I feel we have more to do. And, Mr. Prime
Minister, I want to mention our continued interest and access to your
markets for automobiles and auto parts, semiconductors, as well as
cooperation on the super collider and striking down structural
impediments to freer trade.
MORE
- 2 -
We'll track our progress on every item identified by our
action plan. And, sir, you can be assured we will do our part to
improve our own competitiveness.
And I've made it clear, and I'll continue to make it
clear, that this administration and the American people are
absolutely committed to trade that is both free and fair.
Protectionism simply is not the answer. And the record is clear.
Our efforts the past three years have substantially increased
American exports to Japan. And I will work to support the efforts of
America's private sector to create an export vision to open foreign
markets that mean more American jobs.
So we need to continue expanding, not closing, our trade
relations. And whether it's protectionist measures in this country
or in Japan, the result is the same thing. Protectionism punches a
hole in a healthy economy.
So I'm confident that the Prime Minister and I depart
here today knowing that we do not help our respective nations by
hurting each other. He stood for that principle for a long, long
time in various positions that he's held in Japan. And I hope that I
stand for that principle.
And as important as our economic interaction is, I think
it's also important for us to remember that America and Japan share
three very important values: our support for the free market
economic system; our love of political democracy; and our mutual
interest in global peace and security.
And I am optimistic that our two nations can work
closely to advance and protect these values in the Pacific Rim and
elsewhere across the globe. And when these values are threatened,
it's critical that our two nations united. And our unity will be
vital if these three key values are to survive and prosper in the new
world that we see.
So let me say, Mr. Prime Minister, that I believe that
this new period in world affairs holds great promise for the American
-Japanese relationship. And, once again, it is an honor to host you
here in Washington to reaffirm our partnership, the respect and trust
between our people, and to welcome you as a friend.
Thank you, sir.
PRIME MINISTER MIYAZAWA: Thank you very much, Mr.
President, for your very kind remarks. And also thank you for giving
me this low podium. (Laughter.)
This is my official visit to the United States as Prime
Minister first visit, really. I am delighted to have this
opportunity to speak directly to the American people for whom I have
profound respect.
Today, I am also very pleased that, as an ally and a
friend, I have had very frank and productive talks with President
Bush. We will be continuing our talks in Camp David later today.
But before going there, let me give you my thoughts on the following
four salient issues.
First, the President and I reviewed our respective
relationship with Russia and other new independent states of the
former Soviet Union. We agreed that it's critically important that
the international community should work together to help their
transition to democracy and a market economy.
I am immensely grateful for the President's firm support
of Japan's position on the Northern Territory Issue. President Bush
MORE
- 3 -
made it clear such support in his talk with President Yeltsin the
other day. It was a helpful and thoughtful step to let Mr. Yeltsin
understand the global implications of this territorial problem.
Secondly, the President and I talked about some of the
important issues in the dynamic region of Asia and the Pacific
including the situations in the Korean Peninsula and in Cambodia. We
reaffirmed our determination to work together to enhance peace and
prosperity in this region. We both recognize that the American
military presence and Japanese host nation support together
contribute greatly to the stability of this region at this time of
change.
The third point is that the President and I are pleased
to see the global partnership forged both in the political and
economic dimensions. Politically, it has come to have a truly global
extension, ranging from Asia to Russia and East and Central Europe.
In the economic area such global partnership includes cooperation in
bringing the Uruguay Round to an early and successful conclusion;
prevention of protectionism; promotion of international structure
adjustments; environmental protection, including forest conservation
and development assistance.
In this connection, in the area of macroeconomic policy,
the President and I shared a common view that it is essential for the
moment to make sustained recovery over our two economies more
certain. Taking account over a joint statement on the strategy for
world growth issued in January this year, in this regard, I -- in
this regard, explained to the President the efforts made up to now by
Japan for ensuring sustained growth over the Japanese economy and
expressed my determination that in case these measures do not bring
sufficient effect, I'll examine the situation and undertake every
possible means, including necessary substantial additional fiscal
measures, keeping in mind the objectives set out in the new five-
year economic plan of my government.
The President, on his part, expressed his determination
to reduce budget deficit and to raise the competitiveness of the U.S.
industries.
Finally, the management of the bilateral relations is
indeed important. With this in mind, the President and I reviewed
and confirmed that the Tokyo Declaration and this plan of action have
been steadily implemented and we are committed to the further follow-
ups.
In this historical period of transition, I deeply admire
President Bush for his bold and outstanding leadership. I have also
been greatly encouraged by his sincere efforts to reduce fiscal
deficit and to strengthen industrial competitiveness and to maintain
the open and free world economy without succumbing to protectionist
pressures.
America will, no doubt, remain the world leader in the
post-Cold War era. I assure you that Japan, too, will work hand in
hand with the United States by assuming greater roles and
responsibilities in the spirit of the global partnership between our
two countries.
Thank you very much.

White House News Summary
Friday, June 26, 1992
12:15 P.M. NEWS UPDATE
YELTSIN VISIT/POW (Moscow/AP) -- President Yeltsin "misspoke" at
last week's summit when he said American POWs from the Vietnam War
may have been held in the Soviet Union, a U.S. official
investigating the issue said. Wrapping up five days of meetings
with Russian security and government officials to try to determine
whether any American POWs are still living, former U.S. Amb.
Malcolm Toon said: "My gut feeling is that there's nobody alive
under Russian control." Toon said, "It is clear to me that he
misspoke because we have found nobody here that will tell us that
Mr. Yeltsin's information was correct based on solid information."
JAPAN/MIYAZAWA VISIT (Tokyo/Reuter) -- Prime Minister Miyazawa will
bring President Bush the good news that he plans measures to
stimulate his country's economy and cut its trade surplus when they
meet next week, Japanese officials said. "Bush will be very happy
to hear that Japan is working on a sizable supplementary budget,"
a Japanese official said. "A pledge of economic-boosting measures
from other countries will help the President with his bid for
reelection." Government officials also said that Japan will
reiterate that it will not give any large-scale financial aid to
Russia until a territorial dispute is resolved.
BOSNIA-HERCEGOVINA (Reuter) -- Secretary Baker dampened speculation
that the international community was about to use force to get
humanitarian aid to starving civilians in Sarajevo. Baker told
journalists before a meeting with Archbishop Monsengwo Pasinya of
Zaire that reports from Sarajevo were very pessimistic. But he
added: "The current United Nations plan calls for the provisioning
of international relief pursuant to a cease-fire and pursuant to
a political understanding. My understanding of that resolution is
that it does not authorize the use of force."
COURT DECISION/SEGREGATION (AP) -- The Supreme Court ruled that
Mississippi's state-run colleges and universities are unlawfully
segregated by race even though whites and blacks can attend the
school of their choice. The court, in an 8-1 ruling, said
Mississippi has not done enough to overcome its history of legally
enforced segregation because most black students still attend
educationally inferior, predominantly black schools.
COURT DECISION/HOUSE SEAT (AP) -- THe Supreme Court upheld a Census
Bureau decision that Massachusetts will lose a seat in the House
and Washington state will gain one. The court unanimously said
Massachusetts should lose the seat as a result of the 1990 census.
URUGUAY ROUND (Geneva/UPI) -- The EC is to blame for blocking a
successful end to the Uruguay Round of trade talks because it is
unable to come up with an acceptable offer on agriculture, U.S.
trade negotiator Rufus Yerxa said. Yerxa said the negotiations are
in danger only because of the issue of the EC's "excessive levels
of export subsidies" for farmers.
PERSONAL INCOME (UPI) -- Personal income rose a modest 0.3 percent
in May, outpaced by consumer spending, which went up 0.5 percent,
the Commerce Department said. The May increase follows an April
rise of 0.1 percent.

PRESS STATEMENT WITH PRIME MINISTER MIYAZAWA
Prime Minister Miyazawa, I warmly welcome you to Washington.
Today we reaffirmed the strong relationship between our two great
nations; we discussed our Global Partnership; and we reviewed the
prospects for the G+7 Summit in Munich next week.
First on our agenda was and is our mutual commitment to
global peace and prosperity. I am encouraged by what the Prime
Minister said about Japan's plans to stimulate economic growth.
Both of us confirmed our desire for a strong, lasting recovery.
We discussed the Uruguay Round and the necessity to redouble our
efforts to achieve a result that will increase global prosperity,
directly benefiting the people of the United States and Japan.
I told the Prime Minister that I welcomed the passage of
Japan's Peace Cooperation Bill which will allow Japan to
participate on the ground to build a lasting peace in Cambodia
and other world trouble spots. We discussed regional issues:
nuclear and missile proliferation concerns in North Korea;
approaches to China; Japanese support for complete resolution of
the POW/MIA issue with Vietnam; Cambodia; and Japan's relations
with Russia. I told the Prime Minister that the United States
strongly supports settlement of the Northern Territories issue
between Japan and Russia and continues to advocate Japan's legal
and historical claim to these islands.
We reviewed the Plan of Action that we announced in Tokyo in
January. We have since then reached bilateral agreements to
improve competitive US industries' access to Japan' computer and
4
paper markets. We have more to do: Mr. Prime Minister I do not
2
want to recite a list of issues, but I do want to mention our
continued interest in access to your markets for glass and
semiconductors, as well as cooperation on the SuperCollider and
the Structural Impediments or SII negotiations.
As I discussed wit the PRime Minister, the United States and
Japan continue to have difficulties over trade. We discussed
these in a very open and objective manner. I made it clear that
this Administration, and the American people, are absolutely
committed to ensuring that trade is both free and fair. The
record shows that our efforts over the past three years have
resulted in tremendous opportunity and results for American
business in Japan. By further opening markets, both of us stand
to gain Closing markets stunts growth and dooms progress.
In addition to discussing global economic growth, we
discussed how at Munich we can assist in assuring the safety of
nuclear power in the former Soviet republics. We also spoke
envis
briefly about our efforts to achieve our common environmental
goals, and Prime Minister Miyazawa generously offered to support
our forestry initiative.
Six months ago, when I traveled to Japan, Prime Minister
Miyazawa and I announced the Tokyo Declaration. At that time we
resolved to contribute to a just, peaceful and prosperous world
through global partnership. I was confident then, and I am even
more confident today, that there is no more important
relationship between any two countries than that between the
United States of America and Japan. Mr. Prime Minister, today I

reaffirm our partnership, our personal friendship and the respect
