President Thomas Jefferson signed legislation establishing the United

States Military Academy in 1802. He took this action after ensuring that
those attending the Academy would be representative of a democratic
society.
Colonel Sylvanus Thayer, the "father of the Military Academy," served as
Superintendent from 1817-1833. He upgraded academic standards, instilled
military discipline and emphasized honorable conduct. Aware of our
young nation's need for engineers, Thayer made civil engineering the
foundation of the curriculum. For the first half century, USMA graduates
were largely responsible for the construction of the bulk of the nation's
initial railway lines, bridges, harbors and roads.
After gaining experience and national recognition during the Mexican and
Indian wars, West Point graduates dominated the highest ranks on both
sides during the Civil War. Academy graduates, headed by generals such
as Grant, Lee, Sherman and Jackson, set high standards of military
leadership for both the North and South.
The development of other technical schools in the post-Civil War period
allowed West Point to broaden its curriculum beyond a strict civil
engineering focus. Following the creation of Army post-graduate
command and staff schools, the Military Academy came to be viewed as
the first step in a continuing Army education.
In World War I, Academy graduates again distinguished themselves on
the battlefield. After the war, Superintendent Douglas MacArthur sought to
diversify the academic curriculum. In recognition of the intense physical
demands of modern warfare, MacArthur pushed for major changes in the
physical fitness and intramural athletic programs. "Every cadet an athlete"

creation of the Cadet Honor Committee.

met the challenge of leadership in the Second World War. The postwar
period again saw sweeping revisions to the West Point curriculum
resulting from the dramatic developments in science and technology, the
increasing need to understand other cultures and the rising level of
general education in the Army.
In 1964, President Johnson signed legislation increasing the strength of
the Corps of Cadets from 2,529 to 4,417 (more recently reduced to
4,000). To keep up with the growth of the Corps, a major expansion of
facilities began shortly thereafter.
In concert with the increasing role of minorities and women in society and
the military over the past three decades, greater numbers of minorities
and the first women were brought to the Military Academy and the Corps
of Cadets. Their presence has enhanced the quality and maintained the
traditional representativeness of the institution.
In recent decades, the Academy's curricular structure was markedly
changed to permit cadets to major in any one of more than a dozen fields,
including a wide range of subjects from the sciences to the humanities.
Academy graduates are awarded a bachelor of science degree and a
commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, serving a minimum
of five years on active duty.
As the Academy approaches its bicentennial in 2002, the institution
continues to ensure that all programs and policies support the needs of
the Army and nation now as well as in the foreseeable future. The
Academy, with its long and noble history, remains an energetic, vibrant
institution that attracts some of the best and brightest young men and
women. It offers a challenging and comprehensive array of opportunities
while retaining its enduring commitment to Duty, Honor, Country.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
(West Point, New York)
For Immediate Release
May 31, 1997
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT THE UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY
COMMENCEMENT
Michie Stadium
West Point, New
York
10:20 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Please be seated, relax. Thank you, General
Christman, for those kind introductory remarks and for your truly extraordinary service
to your nation throughout your military career. Here at West Point, and before, when we
had more opportunities to work together on a daily basis, I have constantly admired your
dedication and your ability.
General Reimer, Secretary West, Senator Reed, Chairman Gilman, Congressman
Shimkus, Congresswoman Kelly, Congressman Sessions, former Congressman Bilbray,
parents and families and friends of the cadets, and especially, to the Class of 1997, I
extend my heartfelt congratulations.
This has been a truly remarkable class. As General Christman said, you wrote an
unparalleled record of academic achievement in the classroom. I congratulate you all,
and particularly your number one honor graduate and valedictorian, Adam Ake.
Congratulations to all of you on your accomplishments. (Applause.)
Now, General Christman also outlined the extraordinary accomplishments of your
athletic teams, and he mentioned that I had the privilege of seeing Army win its first 10-

win season in football and reclaim the Commander in Chief's Trophy in Philadelphia.
And he thanked me for that. But, actually, as a lifelong football fan, I deserve no thanks.
It was a terrific game, and I'm quite sure it was the first time in the field of any endeavor
of conflict where the Army defeated the Navy not on land, but on water. (Laughter and
applause.)
I know that in spite of all of your achievements as a class and in teams, a few of you also
upheld West Point's enduring tradition of independence. It began in 1796 when President
Adams' War Department ordered the first classes in fortification. And the troops here
thought they already knew all about that, SO they burned the classroom to the ground,
postponing the start of instruction by five years. (Laughter.)
Today, I am reliably informed that though your spirits are equably high, your infractions
are more modest. Therefore, I hereby exercise my prerogative to grant amnesty for minor
offenses to the Corps of Cadets. (Applause.) The cheering was a little disconcerting --
now, the operative word there was "minor." (Laughter.)
Men and women of the Class of '97, today you join the Long Gray Line, the Long Gray
Line that stretches across two centuries of unstinting devotion to America and the
freedom that is our greatest treasure. From the defense of Fort Erie in the War of 1812 to
the fury of Antietam, from the trenches of Argonne to the Anzio in Okinawa, to
Heartbreak Ridge, the Mekong Delta, the fiery dessert of the Gulf War, the officers of
West Point have served and sacrificed for our nation.
In just the four years since I last spoke here, your graduates have helped to restore
democracy to Haiti, to save hundreds of thousands of lives from genocide and famine in
Rwanda, to end the bloodshed in Bosnia. Throughout our history, whenever duty called,
the men and women of West Point have never failed us. And I speak for all Americans
when I say, I know you never will.
I'd like to say a special word of appreciation to West Point and a special word of
congratulations to the students in this class from other countries. We welcome you here;
we are proud to have you as a part of our military service tradition. And we wish you
well as you go back home. We hope you, too, can advance freedom's cause, for in the
21st century that is something we must do together.
Two days ago I returned from Europe on a mission to look back to one of the proudest
chapters in America's history and to look forward to the history we all will seek to shape
for our children and grandchildren. This week is the 50th anniversary of the Marshall
Plan, what Winston Churchill described as the most unsordid act in all history.
In 1947, Americans, exhausted by war and anxious to get on with their lives at home,
were summoned to embrace another leadership role by a generation of remarkable
leaders -- General George Marshall, Senator Arthur Vandenberg, President Harry
Truman -- leaders who knew there could be no lasting peace and security for an America
that withdrew behind its borders and withdrew from the world and its responsibilities.
They provided the indispensable leadership to create the Marshall Plan, NATO, and the
first global financial institutions. They, in effect, organized America and our allies to
meet the challenges of their time -- to build unparalleled prosperity, to stand firm against
Soviet expansionism until the light of freedom shown all across Europe.
The second purpose of my journey was inextricably tied to the first. It was to look to the
future, to the possibility of achieving what Marshall's generation could only dream of -- a
democratic, peaceful and undivided Europe for the first time in all of history; and to the
necessity of America and its allies once again organizing ourselves to meet the
http://clinton3.nara.gov/New/Remarks/Mon/19970602-10734.html
5/24/02
West Point Graduation Remarks on NATO Enlargement

challenges of our time, to secure peace and prosperity for the next 50 years and beyond.
To build and secure a new Europe, peaceful, democratic and undivided at last, there must
be a new NATO, with new missions, new members and new partners. We have been
building that kind of NATO for the last three years with new partners in the Partnership
for Peace and NATO's first out-of-area mission in Bosnia. In Paris last week, we took
another giant stride forward when Russia entered a new partnership with NATO,
choosing cooperation over confrontation, as both sides affirmed that the world is
different now. European security is no longer a zero-sum contest between Russia and
NATO; but a cherished, common goal.
In a little more than a month, I will join with other NATO leaders in Madrid to invite the
first of Europe's new democracies in Central Europe to join our Alliance, with the
consent of the Senate, by 1999 -- the 50th anniversary of NATO's founding.
I firmly believe NATO enlargement is in our national interests. But because it is not
without cost and risk, it is appropriate to have an open, full, national discussion before
proceeding. I want to further that discussion here today in no small measure because it is
especially important to those of you in this class. For, after all, as the sentinels of our
security in the years ahead, your work will be easier and safer if we do the right thing --
and riskier and much more difficult if we do not.
Europe's fate and America's future are joined. Twice in half a century, Americans have
given their lives to defend liberty and peace in world wars that began in Europe. And we
have stayed in Europe in very large numbers for a long time throughout the Cold War.
Taking wise steps now to strengthen our common security when we have the opportunity
to do so will help to build a future without the mistakes and the divisions of the past, and
will enable us to organize ourselves to meet the new security challenges of the new
century. In this task, NATO should be our sharpest sword and strongest shield.
Some say we no longer need NATO because there is no powerful threat to our security
now. I say there is no powerful threat in part because NATO is there. And enlargement
will help make it stronger.
I believe we should take in new members to NATO for four reasons. First, it will
strengthen our Alliance in meeting the security challenges of the 21st century, addressing
conflicts that threaten the common peace of all.
Consider Bosnia -- already the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, the Baltic nations and
other Central European countries are contributing troops and bases to NATO's
peacekeeping mission in Bosnia. We in the United States could not have deployed our
troops to Bosnia as safely, smoothly and swiftly as we did without the help of Hungary
and our staging ground at Taszar, which I personally visited. The new democracies we
invite to join NATO are ready and able to share the burdens of defending freedom in no
small measure because they know the cost of losing freedom.
Second, NATO enlargement will help to secure the historic gains of democracy in
Europe. NATO can do for Europe's East what it did for Europe's West at the end of
World War II --provide a secure climate where freedom, democracy and prosperity can
flourish. Joining NATO once helped Italy, Germany and Spain to consolidate their
democracies. Now the opening of NATO's doors has led the Central European nations
already -- already --to deepen democratic reform, to strengthen civilian control of their
military, to open their economies. Membership and its future prospect will give them the
confidence to stay the course.

Third, enlarging NATO will encourage prospective members to resolve their differences
peacefully. We see all over the world the terrible curse of people who are imprisoned by
their own ethnic, regional and nationalist hatreds, who rob themselves and their children
of the lives they might have because of their primitive, destructive impulses that they
cannot control.
When he signed the NATO Treaty in 1949, President Truman said that if NATO had
simply existed in 1914 or 1939, it would have prevented the world wars that tore the
world apart. The experience of the last 50 years supports that view. NATO helped to
reconcile age-old adversaries like France and Germany, now fast friends and allies; and
clearly has reduced tensions between Greece and Turkey over all these decades. Already
the very prospect of NATO membership has helped to convince countries in Central
Europe to settle more than half a dozen border and ethnic disputes, any one of which
could have led to future conflicts. That, in turn, makes it less likely that you will ever be
called to fight in another war across the Atlantic. (Applause.)
Fourth, enlarging NATO, along with its Partnership for Peace with many other nations
and its special agreement with Russia and its soon-to-be-signed partnership with
Ukraine, will erase the artificial line in Europe that Stalin drew, and bring Europe
together in security, not keep it apart in instability.
NATO expansion does not mean a differently divided Europe. It is part of unifying
Europe. NATO's first members should not be its last. NATO's doors will remain open to
all those willing and able to shoulder the responsibilities of membership, and we must
continue to strengthen our partnerships with non-members.
Now, let me be clear to all of you, these benefits are not cost- or risk-free. Enlargement
will require the United States to pay an estimated $200 million a year for the next
decade. Our allies in Canada and Western Europe are prepared to do their part; so are
NATO's new members. So must we.
More important, enlargement requires that we extend to new members our Alliance's
most solemn security pledge, to treat an attack against one as an attack against all. We
have always made the pledge credible through the deployment of our troops and the
deterrence of our nuclear weapons. In the years ahead, it means that you could be asked
to put your lives on the line for a new NATO member, just as today you can be called
upon to defend the freedom of our allies in Western Europe.
In leading NATO over the past three years to open its doors to Europe's new
democracies, I weighed these costs very carefully. I concluded that the benefits of
enlargement, strengthening NATO for the future, locking in democracy's gains in Central
Europe, building stability across the Atlantic, uniting Europe, not dividing it -- these
gains decisively outweigh the burdens. The bottom line to me is clear: Expanding NATO
will enhance our security. It is the right thing to do. We must not fail history's challenge
at this moment to build a Europe peaceful, democratic, and undivided, allied with us to
face the new security threats of the new century. A Europe that will avoid repeating the
darkest moments of the 20th century and fulfill the brilliant possibilities of the 21st.
This vision for a new Europe is central to our larger security strategy, which you will be
called upon to implement and enforce. But our agenda must go beyond it because, with
all of our power and wealth, we are living in a world in which increasingly our influence
depends upon our recognizing that our future is interdependent with other nations, and
we must work with them all across the globe; because we see the threats we face
tomorrow will cross national boundaries. They are amplified by modern technology,
http://clinton3.nara.gov/New/Remarks/Mon/19970602-10734.html
5/24/02
West Point Graduation Remarks on NATO Enlargement
Page 5 of 6
communication, and travel. They must be faced by like-minded nations, working
together. Whether we're talking about terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction, or environmental degradation.
Therefore, we must pursue five other objectives. First, we must build a community of
Asia Pacific nations bound by a common commitment to stability and prosperity. We
fought three wars in Asia in half a century; Asia's stability affects our peace, and Asia's
explosive growth affects our prosperity. That's why we've strengthened our security ties
to Japan and Korea, why we now meet every year with the Asian Pacific leaders, why we
must work with and not isolate ourselves from China.
One of the great questions that will define the future for your generation of Americans is
how China will define its own greatness as a nation. We have worked with China
because we believe it is important to cooperate in ways that will shape the definition of
that great nation in positive, not negative, ways. We need not agree with China on all
issues to maintain normal trade relations, but we do need normal trade relations to have a
chance of eventually reaching agreement with China on matters of vital importance to
America and the world.
Second, we are building coalitions across the world to confront these new security
threats that know no borders: weapons proliferation, terrorism, drug trafficking,
environmental degradation. We have to lead in constructing global arrangements that
provide us the tools to deal with these common threats: the Chemical Weapons
Convention, the Nonproliferation Treaty, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and our
efforts to further reduce nuclear weapons with Russia.
Now our great task is also to build these kinds of arrangements fighting terrorism, drug
traffickers and organized crime. Three weeks from now in Denver I will use the summit
of the eight leading nations to press this agenda.
The third thing we have to do is to build an open trading system. Our security is tied to
the stake other nations have in the prosperity of staying free and open and working with
others, not working against them. In no small measure because of the trade agreements
we have negotiated, we have not only regained our position as the world's number one
exporter, we have increased our influence in ways that are good for our security. To
continue that progress it is important that I have the authority to conclude smart, new
market-opening agreements that every President in 20 years has had.
Some of our fellow Americans do not believe that the President should have this
authority anymore; they believe that somehow the global economy presents a threat to us
but I believe it's here to say, and I think the evidence is that Americans, just as we can
have the world's strongest and best military, we have the strongest and best economy in
the world --the American people can out-work and out-compete anyone given a free and
fair chance. (Applause.)
Not only that, but this is about more than money and jobs. This is about security. The
world, especially our democratic neighbors to the south of us, are looking to us. If we
don't build economic bridges to them, someone else will. We must make it clear that
America supports free people and fair, open trade.
Fourth, we have to embrace our role as the decisive force for peace. You cannot and you
should not go everywhere. But when our values and interests are at stake, our mission is
crystal clear and achievable America should stand with our allies around the world
who seek to bring peace and prevent slaughter. From the Middle East to Bosnia, from
Haiti to Northern Ireland, we have worked to contain conflict, to support peace, to give
http://clinton3.nara.gov/New/Remarks/Mon/19970602-10734.htm.
5/24/02
West Point Graduation Remarks on NATO Enlargement
Page 6 of 6
children a brighter future, and it has enhanced our security.
Finally, we have to have the tools to do these jobs. Those are the most powerful and
best-trained military in the world and a fully funded diplomacy to minimize the chances
that military force will be necessary.
The long-term defense plan we have just completed will increase your readiness,
capabilities, and technological edge. In a world of persistent dangers, you must and you
will be able to dominate the conflicts of the future as you did the battlefields of the past.
Marshall
Fifty-five years ago, in the early days of World War II, General George Marshall, the
man we honored this week, spoke here at your commencement about the need to
#lag as
organize our nation for the ordeal of war. He said, we are determined that before the sun
freedom
sets on this terrible struggle, our flag will be recognized as a symbol of freedom on the
one hand and of overwhelming power on the other.
Power
Today, our flag of freedom and power flies higher than ever, but because our nation
stands at the pinnacle of its power, it also stands at the pinnacle of its responsibility.
Therefore, as you carry our flag into this new era, we must organize ourselves to meet
the challenges of the next 50 years. We must shape the peace for a new and better
century about to dawn so that you can give your children and your grandchildren the
America and the world they deserve.
God bless you and God bless America. (Applause.)

squad in the 1988 John Hancock Sun Bowl marked the Cadets' third postseason
appearance in five years. The setback was Army's first in three postseason bowl
decisions.
SUTTON, BOB
In his ninth season as Army's head coach, Bob Sutton stands fourth on the Cadets
all-time coaches' victories list. Only Earl "Red" Blaik has served longer at the Army
helm. Sutton has authored a sparkling 6-2 record (.750) versus Navy, boasting the
winning percentage against the Mids by a West Point grid coach.
TAILGATE SHOW
Veteran Hudson Valley morning radio personality Joe Daily hosts a comprehensive
"Tailgate Show" before each Army home game. The spirited 90-minute production
originates live on the steps of Holleder Center two hours prior to kickoff. It features
the pageantry of a West Point football Saturday, replete with appearances by the C
Band and Rabble-Rousers.
TAILGATING
One of the most scenic tailgate sites in the country lies along the banks of the Hud
The time-honored tailgate tradition at West Point begins at dawn of every home foo
game and runs well after darkness has set in.
TARBUCKET
The traditional headwear worn by cadets during a full dress review is known as a
tarbucket. Cadet parades take place three hours prior to kickoff of every home Arm
contest.

season. Five of those contests were broadcast to a national audience. In the last th
years, 12 Army games have been broadcast nationally, four via network television.
Acclaimed announcers Dick Vermeil (left) and Brent Musburger chronicled Army's
victory over Air Force for ABC Sports in 1996. The Cadets are 14-12 in games tha
been broadcast to a live regional or national television audience in the 1990s.
TIE-INS
Conference USA enters the 1999 season guaranteed of placing at least three team
postseason bowl games should they qualify for postseason play under NCAA
regulations. While C-USA's champion will serve as host team in the AXA/Equitable
Liberty Bowl, the inaugural Mobile Alabama Bowl will receive the second choice fro
league. Conference USA maintains an agreement with the Humanitarian Bowl to S
member school to that postseason contest as well.
THREE
Michie Stadium stands third on the Sports Illustrated list of "Favorite Venues," pub
in its June 7, 1999 edition. The magazine's selection committee wrote the following
about its favorite venues: "There's something about being there. And where exactly
would you be if you weren't on your couch? Where would you go to register the clic
the turnstile, the feel of wooden slats beneath you, the whiff of stale beer? Wrigley,
Wembley, Williamsport. Odd little cathedrals with strange rituals and sacraments
(Dodger Dogs!). You'd be someplace that was engineered for sensory overload, no
skybox revenue, the smell of peanuts on a summer breeze mingling with the roar O
V-8s. You'd be someplace varnished in layers of history, the satiny armrest remind
you that somebody else sat here and saw Babe Ruth hit his 60th. You might be in
abomination of architecture, but you'd be someplace. So here's where we'd be if W
could just take in a game some afternoon. We'd be in one of these places, hunche
time-polished bleacher, humoring the ghosts in the outfield, trying to remember wh
the hell we parked. Eating a Dodger Dog, probably. Years later, when pressed to e
the unique drama of that afternoon--just smells and sights and sounds, really--we'd
You had to be there."
THROW-BACK JERSEYS
As part of the Army-Navy game's centennial celebration, the teams will wear
"throw-back" game jerseys. The Cadets will don replicas of the familiar uniform top
worn by the Army teams of the 1940s and 1950s. Navy, meanwhile, will sport the
uniform style of its teams from the 1960s. The Cadets wore a similar "throw-back"
for their game against Rice in 1995. Army honored its national championship team
1944, 1945 and 1946 that day as the Cadets and Rice played to a 21-21 tie.
THURSDAY NIGHT
Army will host Louisville on Oct. 7 in the first-ever Thursday night contest at West P
Michie Stadium. The game will be televised live nationally by Fox Sports Net with k
time set for 7 p.m. Army suffered a 43-7 loss at Duke in the Cadets' Thursday nigh
debut back in 1994.
"TOUCHDOWN TWINS"
Felix "Doc" Blanchard and Glenn Davis teamed to form one of the most prolific
backfields in the history of college football. Dubbed the "Touchdown Twins," the du
combined to score 97 touchdowns and 585 points from 1943 through 1946. The lat
mark still stands as an NCAA record.
TRADITION
One is hard-pressed to find a football program steeped in more tradition than Army
their 110th season of intercollegiate competition, the Cadets sport an overall record
614-356-51 (.627). Army teams have captured three national championships (1944
1945 and 1946) and seven Lambert Trophy titles. Three Army players have coppe
Heisman Trophy and 25 players and coaches have been elected to the National Fo
Foundation College Hall of Fame.
TWELFTH MAN
One of the most spirited student bodies in the nation, West Point's Corps of Cadets
long been recognized as Army's 12th man on the field.
ULLRICH, CARL
Former Army Director of Athletics Carl Ullrich is widely regarded as the person
responsible for returning Army's storied football program back to the national forefr
In 1983, Ullrich turned the reins of the West Point grid program over to Jim Young,
would engineer one of the greatest turnarounds in the history of the sport.

If over the world was faced with = time for decision, that time is
now, and the decision is yours.
Today, in this rich countryside, the world that you see about you is
thick with promise and wealth.
This abundance ends with the oceans.
Beyond those oceans, rusted and half buried in the benches, thore lios
the wreckago of our landing craft. And beyond those craft, the graves of the
men who sailed them.
Many of them came from these great plains of the west. Some were
students here before you in the tragic decade that precoded their death.
Beyond their graves, lies the world they sought to reach.
One year after the war, it is a world that is thin with famine. It is
a world where poverty has scourged the living. It is 2 world worn out from its
struggle. It is 2 world where men grow sick with despair in the everyday
struggle for life.
It is a world-in many places-almost destitute of hope.
It is this world to which you belong, 25 well as the one that you see
bout you.
It is this world with its open scars of war that confronts you with the
crying need for decision.
If ever we shall learn anything from the struggle of these last ten
years, we must have already learned this:

Today, no people are safe from the suffering of war.
Today, no people-anywhere--can hope to escape the tragedies of war
and poverty that spring from outlawry among nation states.
Here, then, is your choice.
You shall link all nations in an equitable peace while contributing
the strength to sustain it. or you shall risk yourselves and all your good
works to disaster.
Your knowledge shall profit you nothing in a world darkened by
atomic war. There is nothing your talents can produce that war cannot destroy.
From this day on, therefore, you are implicated in the destiny of a
world from which you cannot escape.
Either you work for peace and prosper with it.
Or you abandon the world to aggression-and perish.
This is your decision.
It is the one your parents failed to make a generation before you.
They failed because they retreated from the world when their strength was
needed most. They failed because they feared war more than they valued peace.
In a morally bankrupt world that cried for leadership and strength,
they chose isolation and weakness.
When war came-as it must to any nation that neglects the chance to
avert it--it brought early and costly defeats that trebled the price of victory.
We survived in spite of our blindness.
We survived because there were allies to bleed the enemy while we
rearmed. We survived because there were oceans to help safeguard our shores.
If, this time, timidity results in another failure, you cannot count
on survival. We have nothing to fear but fear itself.

Air war is sudden war. It does not wait for allies. Air war is
long-range war. It does not stop for oceans. Air war is knock-out war. It
aims its blows at the homefront.
For you, there is no assurance of security in isolated dependence
on atomic bombs, stratospheric aircraft, two-ocean fleets, and airborne armies.
These are weapons of annihilation. If used by nations against each
other in contests for power, they will result in disaster to both.
United Nations offers the best hope of survival by providing a pattern
for cooperation among the peoples of the world. This union for peace can
succeed only when nations meet in open discussion to anticipate and expose the
causes of war. It will succeed only when nations reveal their interests by
plain statements of their intentions. It will succeed only when nations bring
their policies into line with principles to which they are pledged.
Yet, until WE stand behind our agreements with strength, aggressors
can violate those agreements at will. Peace cannot be secured unless nations
will promptly and forcibly array their strength against those aggressors.
While we contribute leadership, we must also stand by with strength.
At this critical juncture, we can accomplish more as a securely-armed champion
of cooperation than we can as an unarmed believer.
As we look about us in the search for socurity, our most dangerous
enemy today is fear. It is fear that has caused suspicion; and suspicion,
distrust.
It is distrust that incites vicious talk of another war.
It is distrust, more than anything clse, that stands in danger today
of crippling the structure for world cooperation on which we have pinned our
hopes for peace.

This distrust appears in many guises.

It shows itself among those persons who foresee war as the inevitable
result of political and economic contests between rival ideologies.
It lurks among those who view 3 nation's avowal of world cooperation
as a mask to conceal its selfish ambitions.
It exists among nationalists who fear that international order may
threaten their sovereignty.
It thrives among the faint-hearts who cry out that the machinery of
peace is beginning to break.
If we are to find peace-we must first keep faith-in peace. We must
bolster that faith with strength.
It is time we broke through the doubts and fears of the cynics with
the strong conviction that peace can be achieved if only we are willing to work
for it.
There are those who maintain that war and anarchy among nations are
inevitable.
They explain that there is no precedent for peace.
On this day, my thoughts turn back to another effort for which there
was no procedent. Two years ago, on June 6, 1944, an Allied Army struggled
ashore to the armored coast of France.
Only four months before invasion, skeptics were surpassing the enemy
in predicting the extent of our losses. At one time it was declared by
arm-chair alarmists that we could expect = quarter of 1 million casualties in
landing. They pointed to the difficulties of the Normandy shore. They spoke
of the strength of German defenses.
They said that invasion on this huge scale had never succeeded before.
In that respect they were right.

But they went wrong on their guesses when they underrated the
American soldier. They had forgotten that he was trained and cquipped for
victory.
From the outset in planning the invision, we banked everything on
success. There was no alternative to success. When assault troops reached
the coast of France, they clung to the beachhoad and crawled inland. They
had confidence in their ability to win; faith in the staying-power of their
forces.
Today WG need as strong 1 faith in the staying forces for peace.
It is this faith that you can give us.
Youth is too bold for fear. It is too strong for easy discouragement.
It will fight off disillusionment when others surrender. That is why we look
to you.
Peace will come not simply from the desire for poace. More important
is the willingness to work for it; the readiness to pay its costs.
It is infinitely more difficult to avert war than to secure 2
beachhead in Normandy. In some respects the costs-if not in lives-are
almost as sovere. Peace will not come cheoply. It will not come easily.
The machinery we have built for perce is new and, in a mensure,
untested.
It will suffor setbacks, breakdowns and walkouts.
Unless we have the staying power to stick with it, unless we have
the strength to defend it forcibly, vigorously, and intolligently, we shall
lose it. If we lose this foothold in peace, the results will be more
disastrous than they might have been in : retreat from the Omaha beachhead.

This time our generation shall leave you with no illusions of what
the war has won. It has not brought peace; wars never do. But it has
destroyed our enemies and has given us a better than even chance to build
peace.
First, let us remember: We fought this war to save ourselves. Our
peacetime withdrawal from world affairs encouraged aggressor nations. Our
preoccupation with national interests blinded us to world commitments. We
substituted weakness for strength at a time when strength was needed.
Without means to prevent the outbreak of war, WO rallied almost too
late to win it. That we did is a tribute to the resiliency of our people and
the vigor of our democracy.
While victory brought relief from war, in itself, it brought no peace.
It has cleared the way for the achievement of peace. But it has not
secured it.
It has destroyed the peoples who turned to war for the realization
of their goals. It has given no assurance that others shall not turn to war
again.
Poace cannot be fashioned from the destruction of war.
It must be constructed by sacrifico, by courage, by realism among
people who value it highly enough to defend it. It must be secured by leader-
ship, by adherence to principle, and by the maintenance of strength for
enforcement.
He may find security in compromise, but not in appeasement. In
cooperation but not in weakness.
We shall never find it in isolation. There are no longer boundaries
behind which we can hide.

This air age has brought the world into your own back yard.
It has made the state of the world as important to you as the state
of the nation. Together, they shall limit or widen your future.
Education has equipped you with the capacity to think for yourselves
and to fashion your lives. Your freedom to do both is dependent upon the
freedom and health of the nation. The freedom and health of the nation will
reflect the poace and unity of the world.
Their welfare shall in a measure affect your own. If by your example
and loadership, you can help point the way to peaceful development of the
limitless resources of the world, you shall benefit from it in enriched lives.
As students, many of you sat on the sidelines during our nation's
most perilous years. Still others served in the forces. You sensed how near
we came to disaster.
With the atomic bomb, the threat of disaster is greater. It is
greator unless you can grasp the urgent need for securing a workable peace.
Greater unless you will devote E part of your personal life in leadership
that will better your chance for survival.
We can no longer ignoro the world. Unless we take part in its quest
for peace, we shall perish in its wars.
Some of you may think it's a shabby world that I've held out today.
This is because I've pointed to its dangers rather than to its hopes.
While part of the world seems down at its heels, the world is still
rich with promise.
With the defect of our enemies, with the e stablishment of United
Nations, this is not a time for despair, but & time for hope. It is not a time
for fear, but instead a time for boldness.

Never have we had as good a chance to achieve peace. And with it
an opportunity for youth.
The choice is a plain one and the choice is yours.
If you value freedom you must value a world in which freedom can
endure. It can endure only with peace. Peace will be kept by those people
who care enough to work for it-and in the last resort-to risk their safety
and very lives in its defense.

Subject: West Point speech - minor change
I've been able to confirm everything in my portion of the West Point speech except for one thing: the
George C. Marshall quote on the front page. While Bill Kauffman's "The West Point Story" in American
Enterprise has the quote as it is in the speech ("I have a secret and dangerous mission. Send me a West
Point football player."), it seems that the article was actually misquoting Marshall. ESPN and the Official
Army Athletics site both have a slightly different quote, so I called West Point. According to their public
affairs office, the quote is: "I want an officer for a secret and dangerous mission. I want a West Point
football player."
A slight difference, but since it's engraved in stone on the entrance to Michie Stadium, it's probably
important to make sure it's accurate. Just a minor change; let me know if you have any questions.
BTW: you wanted me to meet some high schoolers out front at 4 pm, right? Are they coming to the 17th &
G entrance?
Thanks,
Ben

several fully coordinated and integrated programs.
A challenging Academic Program that consists of a core of 31 courses provides a
balanced education in the arts and sciences. This core curriculum establishes the
foundation for elective courses that permit cadets to explore in greater depth a field of
study or an optional major. All cadets receive a Bachelor of Science degree, which is
designed specifically to meet the intellectual requirements of a commissioned officer in
today's Army.

The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant
To Charles W. Ford
Washington, D. C. May 3d 18671
DEAR FORD:
I enclose you a package which I promised McKee,¹ of the Demo-
crat, when I was in st. Louis, and which I wish you would deliver
in person. I send it to you because I do not want it opened by any
one but himself.
My visit West was a most agreeable one. I thought I saw a very
healthy feeling throughout. My own convictions are that it would
have been better never to have made a sacrifice of blood and trea-
sure to save the Union than to have the democratic party come in
power now and sacrifice by the ballot what the bayonet seemed to
have ac o]mplished-have acomplished if we are true to ourselves.
When going West I had no idea of stopping by the way at any
place. I went purely to visit my farm in which I have great interest
because it is largely what I must depend on for a support when
retired from public duties. That day is near at hand and I hail it as
the happiest of my life, except possibly the day I left West Point, a
place that I felt I had been at always and that my stay at had no
dayotlife
happiest
end. But meeting Gov.r Morton in Pittsburg, and going West by
the same train, I concented to stop over the day in Indianapolis
and thus arive in St. Louis in the morning instead of the evening. I
did not suppose there would be a political meeting but expected
there would be a reception to meet the Govr. enhanced possibly
because a President, a personage who the world thinks ought to be
happy, but the most persecuted individual on the Western Conti-
nent certainly, was along. I had promised Judge Orth that I would
stop over a day at his home on my return.⁵ That was a meeting
however of the Odd fellows, not political, and an order of which I
was a member when you first knew me at Sackets Harbor. That was
so long ago that I will not remind you of it in view of your celibacy.
Please give my kindest regards to all enquiring friends in St.
Louis.
Yours Truly

WAR ON TERRORISM; Egyptian terrorist sought - Likely 'brains' behind attacks on
N.Y., D.C.
Dave Wedge
An Egyptian terrorist already wanted for his alleged role in the
1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa is being called the
"operational brains" behind the heinous World Trade Center attacks
that killed as many as 7,000 Americans, police say.
Interpol, the France-based international police organization, has
issued an arrest warrant for Ayman al-Zawahri, the leader of Egypt's
Islamic Jihad movement and Osama bin Laden's reputed top deputy.
Israeli intelligence has named al-Zawahri as one of the masterminds
behind the deadly Sept. 11 attacks on Manhattan.
Interpol yesterday sent out a "red notice" high priority warrant

for his arrest and asked its 179 member nations to help track him
down.
Al-Zawahri, 50, has a long history of terror-related crimes and
served three years in prison in Egypt on weapons charges connected to
the 1981 assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat.
In 1998, he was one of five Islamic leaders to sign onto bin
Laden's declaration calling for attacks against U.S. citizens. He is
also suspected of helping organize the 1997 massacre of foreign
tourists in the Egyptian town of Luxor.
Al-Zawahri, a surgeon, is seen as the crucial link between bin
Laden's al-Qaeda terror network and the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. He
reportedly controls much of al-Qaeda's finances and is believed
hiding in Afghanistan.
In other developments, CBS News reported last night that
investigators are exploring two novel ideas about the World Trade
Center and Pentagon attacks.
The first is that instead of 19 hijackers there were to have been
20 - five on each plane.
Agents believe Zacarias Moussaoui may have planned to be the fifth
hijacker on United Flight 93. But Moussaoui was arrested in Minnesota
two weeks before the attacks on an INS violation after seeking flight
training and is being held on a material witness warrant.
The second theory is that not all the terrorists knew the hijacked
aircraft were going to crash into buildings.
Investigators speculate some may have believed they were going to

take the passengers captive for political ransom. The theory being it
would be difficult to convince 19 men to simultaneously commit
suicide.
Investigators also believe additional terrorists with pilot
training are unaccounted for and presumed to still be in the United
States, reported CBS. They also think there were no aborted attacks
Sept. 11, nor is there any firm evidence additional hijackings were
planned after that date. And despite months of training and years of
living in the United States, investigators believe the entire cost of
the operation did not exceed $300,000.
More than 350 people have been detained as part of the probe,
thousands have been questioned and another 400 are being sought, U.S.
Attorney General John Ashcroft said yesterday. But the New York
Times, quoting a senior law enforcement source, said officials have
yet to tie anyone directly to the 19 hijackers or uncover a broad
support network.
" Thus far we cannot connect any of those people to any of those
19" hijackers, the official told the Times.
The agent, who is actively involved in the probe, said it appears
the network may have been formed in Germany and then branched out to
Boston, Newark, Florida and Maryland. Several investigators have been
sent to Germany.
Investigators suspect many of those detained or questioned were
unwitting participants who were intentionally kept in the dark. The
Times also reported that 17 of the 19 hijackers were unknown to U.S.
intelligence before the attacks.

The sweeping investigation into the horrific World Trade Center
attacks continued to spread around the globe yesterday as police in
several countries detained suspected members of terrorist cells.
In France, police arrested at least four people in connection with
a planned attack on the U.S. embassy in Paris and other U.S.
interests in France. Seven people are already in custody in France in
connection with the alleged plot.
In Canada, Nageeb Abdul Jabar Mohamed Al-Hadi of Yemen, who was
detained at Toronto's airport on the day of the terror attacks,
appeared in court to face U.S. charges that he tried to use a phony
passport and visa. He was carrying three Yemeni passports at the time
of his arrest, each with his picture, but different names and dates
of birth. His luggage, which was on a previous Lufthansa flight, made
it to Chicago and was seized by police.
The bags contained two Lufthansa crew uniforms, at least one
identification card, torn paper with Arabic writing and various
containers of food items, according to an FBI affidavit filed in
Illinois. A Lufthansa spokesman told Reuters that al-Hadi did work
for one of the airline's sales agents in Yemen in the late 1990s, but
has never actually worked for the airline itself.
In London, a British woman who took flying lessons with hijacker
Mohamed Atta said he claimed he was an Arab prince. Anne Greaves, 56,
told the BBC that she trained with Atta at the Huffman Aviation
School in Venice, Fla., last year.
Atta, who helped commandeer one of the jets that slammed into the

World Trade Center, trained at the school with Marwan al-Shehhi,
another suspect in the attacks.
And Robert Epling of Community Bank of Florida said he's been told
that Atta sought a USDA loan for a crop-duster. The USDA is a tenant
in the bank, which checked its files about Atta at the request of the
FBI.
"We understand he was turned down" at the USDA, said Epling.
