THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN
SUMMIT CONFERENCE STATEMENT
JUNE 3, 1976
-1-
I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THIS MORNING THAT THE
LEADERS OF SIX OTHER MAJOR INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS HAVE ACCEPTED
THE INVITATION OF THE UNITED STATES TO ATTEND A SUMMIT
CONFERENCE LATER THIS MONTH
-2-
THE CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD JUNE 27 AND 28 IN THE
COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO
IN ADDITION TO THE UNITED
STATES,
CANADA,
FRANCE,
GERMANY,
ITALY,
JAPAN AND THE
UNITED KINGDOM WILL BE REPRESENTED
-3-
I HAVE INVITED THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS MEETING
BECAUSE IT IS VITAL THAT THE LEADERS OF THE INDUSTRIAL
DEMOCRACIES CONTINUE A PROCESS OF CLOSE CONSULTATION AND
COOPERATION ON THE BROAD RANGE OF CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
BEFORE THEM IN ALL FIELDS OF COMMON INTEREST
-4-
IN THE PAST, WORLD LEADERS HAVE MET TO DEAL WITH
CRISES
BUT TODAY'S COMPLEX PROBLEMS REQUIRE THAT LEADERS
MEET TO AVOID THEM
-5-
LAST FALL, WHEN WE MET AT RAMBOUILLET IN FRANCE,
WE AGREED TO EXTENS IVE COOPERATION IN ORDER TO SUSTAIN THE
ECONOMIC RECOVERY
THIS HAS MEANT LESS INFLATION AND MORE
JOBS FOR MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
-6-
NOW WE MUST MEET AGAIN TO CHART A COURSE THAT WILL
KEEP THE RECOVERY MOVING FORWARD AT A HEALTHY,
SUSTAINED PACE
THERE WILL BE MANY OTHER SUBJECTS OF INTERNATIONAL
ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE ON THE AGENDA IN PUERTO
RICO
\
INCLUD ING FINANCIAL, MONETARY AND TRADE ISSUES
-7-
BUT THE ISSUE AT THE HEART OF THE DISCUSSIONS IS TO DETERMINE
WHAT OUR NATIONS CAN DO,
WORKING TOGETHER,
TO CREATE A MORE
PROSPEROUS AND SECURE FUTURE FOR ALL OF OUR CITIZENS
THANK YOU
