REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AND PRIME MINISTER HAWKE
AT ARRIVAL CEREMONY
The South Grounds
10:10 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Prime Minister and Mrs. Hawke, Barbara
and I are very pleased to welcome you as old friends to the United
States and to the White House.
We had the opportunity to enjoy Australia's renowned
hospitality in 1982 during Australian-American Friendship Week. And
so Barbara and I are just delighted to try to return that marvelous
hospitality.
And there's another reason why it is so fitting for
Australia's Prime Minister to be among the first official guests.
Our nations share a similar heritage -- a pioneer heritage in the
taming of two vast continents, a heritage of democratic ideas and a
heritage of common sacrifice in war and common efforts in peace. And
in our last visit, Barbara and I joined your countrymen in the
commemoration of one of the most costly battles of the Second World
War -- the Battle of the Coral Sea -- a poignant reminder of how
much Americans and Australians have sacrificed four times in this
century in the defense of freedom.
So this is not just an alliance between two great powers.
It is an intimate partnership between two peoples. And your visit
reaffirms the vigor of this partnership -- the enduring strength of
our alliance.
The giant strides that we've made recently toward many of
our common goals -- major progress in arms reductions, major progress
in resolving conflicts in Afghanistan, Angola and Cambodia -- all
were made possible by the resolve of the West. Our countries prize
peace, but recognize that peace comes only through Western strength
and vigilance. And we must maintain our alliances and stand by our
friends if we are to fulfill the promise of a new era of lessened
tension and confrontation. And that is why the United States is so
grateful for Australian leadership in our common defense.
America also admires Australia's bold leadership in
foreign policy, both close to home and far from your shores. From
the South Pacific to Africa, Australia is a force for economic growth
and a beacon of democracy. And we value your contribution, your good
judgment and your advice.
Mr. Prime Minister, we have much to discuss at an
important moment in history. Events in China call for close
consultation among the free nations. And the United States and
Australia have a long-standing tradition of such consultation on
important issues. And I am interested in hearing your assessments of
recent world events.
There are many pressing international issues. And, Mr.
Prime Minister, your leadership in organizing global efforts to cope
with the threat of chemical weapons is one position that is greatly
admired by Americans. The United States supports Australia's
efforts, and you may be assured of our commitment to the early
MORE
- 2 -
achievement of an effectively verifiable treaty banning these
weapons.
And so today, we shall discuss world events, arms
control, trade, Pacific regional cooperation -- economic cooperation
-- other subjects.
But, Mr. Prime Minister and Mrs. Hawke -- Bob and Hazel,
if you will -- you have a busy schedule in your very brief time with
us. But we hope to make your visit to Washington as pleasant and as
memorable as ours was to your great country.
Welcome to Washington, sir. (Applause.)
PRIME MINISTER HAWKE: Mr. President, Barbara, it's an
emmense pleasure for me, in these three days in Washington, to renew
our long friendship. And it is a special pleasure and privilege to
join with you as the elected chief of the greatest democracy in
reaffirming the deep, abiding friendship of our two countries. In
you, Mr. President, the Western world has an experienced and
forward-looking leader. And in you, Australia has a valued and
long-standing friend.
Today, as you've said, Mr. President, I look forward with
you to continuing the exchange of views on all the issues affecting
our countries in the spirit of friendship and of frankness which has
always characterized our association and which befits the
relationship, and if I may say, the partnership between Australia and
the United States.
As you say, Mr. President, we are meeting at a time of
historic and far-reaching change across the world. There now exists
unparalleled new opportunities, challenges and may I say
responsibilities for leadership and positive achievement on crucial
issues of peace and security, East-West relations, economic progress,
world trade, and the protection of the world environment.
You have already demonstrated, Mr. President, your
determination to good leadership. Your constructive approach to
East-West relations is demonstrated by your creative and bold
proposal for the reduction of conventional weapons in Europe. In
this and other arms controls endeavors aimed at reducing nuclear
armaments, and as you importantly emphasize, banning chemical
weapons, you know, Mr. President, that you can count consistently on
the support of Australia.
In this new and challenging era, the constancy, the depth
and the vitality of the alliance between Australia and the United
States will remain crucially important to the national interests of
both our countries. But it has a wider regional and indeed global
significance. Under ANZUS, the joint Australia-United States defense
facilities in Australia are significant elements in maintaining the
peace and in supporting the effectiveness of arms control and
disarmament agreements. Over recent years our cooperation and
consultations at the highest levels have been stronger, broader, and
more productive than at any other time since ANZUS was formed.
But, Mr. President, as we both agree, our alliance goes
far beyond our defense alliance. It encompasses dynamic economic
links and broad and deep human and cultural associations. But above
all, it is based on the firmest of foundations, our shared commitment
to democracy and to individual liberty within the rule of law.
Mr. President, it is precisely because of the depth and
the maturity of our relationship that the differences of views that
do exist between us can be faced openly and honestly as, for example,
on some trade matters, particularly aspects of agricultural policy.
I am quite confident that today we will be able to focus on ways to
minimize, if not entirely resolve, such differences. I look forward
to exploring with you means of cooperating in the current Uruguay
MORE
- 3 -
round of multilateral trade negotiations to achieve some progress
toward the goal that we both want -- an international trading system
based on free and fair competition.
I know that we both understand that moving in the
opposite direction toward a world of separate and competing trade
blocks would be economically disastrous and quite possibly
strategically destabilizing. That is one of the reasons, I might
add, why earlier this year. I suggested the development of closer
regional economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region.
Implementation of my proposal could, I believe, improve significantly
the chances for success in the Uruguay round as well as acting as a
catalyst for further growth in our dynamic region.
I'm very keen, Mr. President, to exchange views with you
on this proposal, and may I say, Mr. President, that I indeed welcome
Secretary Baker's support last night for a new mechanism for
multilateral cooperation among the nations of the regions as an idea
whose time has come. I am delighted that the United States supports
my call for a ministerial meeting this year as a first step if, as I
hope and expect, there is consensus in the region.
Mr. President, I make this final point. The American
presence has been a prime factor in creating and in maintaining the
conditions for stability and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region.
America's continuing involvement in our region remains a key to its
future progress. As you say, Mr. President, we have before us an
imposing dialogue that we have to deal with.
What gives this visit in our discussions their real
substance, however, and what will make them so mutually beneficial is
the sense of common purpose that we bring to these matters based on
our common national and international interests and on our common
commitment to peace and to freedom.
Mr. President -- George -- I thank you again for the
warmth of your welcome, not merely today, but since I have arrived.
May I say, not just the warmth -- (Laughter.) We're used to that.
And I know you have enormous power -- perhaps more than any in the
world, but I know there are limits to your power. (Laughter.) That
warmth is a coincidence, but, George, there is no coincidence about
the personal warmth that you have extended -- that you and Barbara
have extended to Hazel and myself. For that, I thank you, and I
conclude, George, by saying this: You have visited Australia, as you
say, as Vice President, and I look forward to welcoming you to our
country as President of the United States and as a true friend of
Australia. (Applause.)

But, Mr. President, as we both agree, our alliance goes
far beyond our defense alliance. It encompasses dynamic economic
links and broad and deep human and cultural associations. But above
all, it is based on the firmest of foundations, our shared commitment
to democracy and to individual liberty within the rule of law.
Mr. President, it is precisely because of the depth and
the maturity of our relationship that the differences of views that
do exist between us can be faced openly and honestly as, for example,
on some trade matters, particularly aspects of agricultural policy.
I am quite confident that today we will be able to focus on ways to
minimize, if not entirely resolve, such differences. I look forward
to exploring with you means of cooperating in the current Uruguay
MORE
- 3 -
round of multilateral trade negotiations to achieve some progress
toward the goal that we both want -- an international trading system
based on free and fair competition.
I know that we both understand that moving in the
opposite direction toward a world of separate and competing trade
blocks would be economically disastrous and quite possibly
strategically destabilizing. That is one of the reasons, I might
add, why earlier this year I suggested the development of closer
regional economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region.
Implementation of my proposal could, I believe, improve significantly
the chances for success in the Uruguay round as well as acting as a
catalyst for further growth in our dynamic region.
I'm very keen, Mr. President, to exchange views with you
on this proposal, and may I say, Mr. President, that I indeed welcome
Secretary Baker's support last night for a new mechanism for
multilateral cooperation among the nations of the regions as an idea
whose time has come. I am delighted that the United States supports
my call for a ministerial meeting this year as a first step if, as I
hope and expect, there is consensus in the region.
Mr. President, I make this final point. The American
presence has been a prime factor in creating and in maintaining the
conditions for stability and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region.
America's continuing involvement in our region remains a key to its
future progress. As you say, Mr. President, we have before us an
imposing dialogue that we have to deal with.
What gives this visit in our discussions their real
substance, however, and what will make them so mutually beneficial is
the sense of common purpose that we bring to these matters based on
our common national and international interests and on our common
commitment to peace and to freedom.
Mr. President -- George -- I thank you again for the
warmth of your welcome, not merely today, but since I have arrived.
May I say, not just the warmth -- (Laughter.) We're used to that.
And I know you have enormous power -- perhaps more than any in the
world, but I know there are limits to your power. (Laughter.) That
warmth is a coincidence, but, George, there is no coincidence about
the personal warmth that you have extended -- that you and Barbara
have extended to Hazel and myself. For that, I thank you, and I
conclude, George, by saying this: You have visited Australia, as you
say, as Vice President, and I look forward to welcoming you to our
country as President of the United States and as a true friend of
Australia. (Applause.)

ARRIVAL STATEMENT FOR PRIME MINISTER HAWKE
I. SUMMARY
On Tuesday, June 27, 1989, you will officially welcome Prime
Minister (Bob) Hawke of Australia and his wife, Hazel. The
arrival ceremonies will take place on the South Lawn beginning at
10 a.m., and you will deliver a brief 5-7 minute statement
prepared on speechcards.

Minister will discuss later in the day -- defense, foreign

PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS: ARRIVAL STATEMENT/PRIME MINISTER HAWKE
JUNE 27/10 a.m.
Prime Minister and Mrs. Hawke: Barbara and I are very
pleased to welcome you as old friends to the United States and
the White House.
We had the opportunity to enjoy Australia's renowned
hospitality in 1982 during Australian-American Friendship Week.
So Barbara and I
are delighted to return the favor.
There is another reason why it is so fitting for Australia's
Prime Minister to be among our first official guests. Our
nations share a similar heritage -- a pioneer heritage in the
taming of two vast continents, a heritage of democratic ideas and
heritage of common sacrifice in war and common efforts for peace.
In our last visit, Barbara and I joined your countrymen in the
commemoration of one of the most costly battles of the Second
World War -- the Battle of the Coral Sea
a poignant
reminder of how much Americans and Australians have sacrificed
four times in this century in the defense of freedom.
So this is not just an alliance between two great powers.
It is an intimate partnership between two peoples. Your visit
2
reaffirms the vigor of this partnership, the enduring strength of
our alliance.
The giant strides we have made lately toward many of our
common goals -- major progress in arms reductions, major progress
in resolving conflicts in Afghanistan, Angola and Cambodia -- all
were made possible by the resolve of the West. Our countries
prize peace, but recognize that peace comes only through Western
strength and vigilance. We must maintain our alliances and stand
by our friends if we are to fulfill the promise of a new era of
lessened tension and confrontation. That is why the United
States is so grateful for Australian leadership in our common
defense.
America also admires Australia's bold leadership in foreign
policy, both close to home and far from your shores. From the
South Pacific to Africa, Australia is a force for economic growth
and a beacon of democracy. We value your contribution, your good
judgment and your advice.
Mr. Prime Minister, we have much to discuss at an important
moment in history. Events in China call for close consultation
among the free nations. The United States and Australia have a
long-standing tradition of such close consultation on important
issues. And I am interested in hearing your assessments of
recent world events.
3
There are many pressing international issues. Mr. Prime
Minister, your leadership in organizing global efforts to cope
with the threat of chemical weapons is admired by Americans. The
United States supports Australia's efforts, and you may be
assured of our commitment to the early achievement of an
effectively verifiable treaty banning these weapons.
So today, we shall discuss world events, arms control and
trade, Pacific regional economic cooperation and other subjects.
Mr. Prime Minister, Mrs. Hawke -- Bob and Hazel -- you have
a busy schedule in your brief time with us. But Barbara and I
hope to make your visit to Washington as pleasant and as
memorable as ours was to Australia.

So THIS IS NOT JUST AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN TWO GREAT
POWERS. IT IS AN INTIMATE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN TWO
PEOPLES. YOUR VISIT REAFFIRMS THE VIGOR OF THIS
PARTNERSHIP, THE ENDURING STRENGTH OF OUR ALLIANCE.
THE GIANT STRIDES WE HAVE MADE LATELY TOWARD MANY
OF OUR COMMON GOALS -- MAJOR PROGRESS IN ARMS
REDUCTIONS, MAJOR PROGRESS IN RESOLVING CONFLICTS IN
AFGHANISTAN, ANGOLA AND CAMBODIA -- ALL WERE MADE
POSSIBLE BY THE RESOLVE OF THE WEST.
- 6 -
OUR COUNTRIES PRIZE PEACE, BUT RECOGNIZE THAT PEACE
COMES ONLY THROUGH WESTERN STRENGTH AND VIGILANCE. WE
MUST MAINTAIN OUR ALLIANCES AND STAND BY OUR FRIENDS IF
WE ARE TO FULFILL THE PROMISE OF A NEW ERA OF LESSENED

STATES IS SO GRATEFUL FOR AUSTRALIAN LEADERSHIP IN OUR
COMMON DEFENSE.

FOREIGN POLICY, BOTH CLOSE TO HOME AND FAR FROM YOUR
SHORES. FROM THE SOUTH PACIFIC TO AFRICA, AUSTRALIA IS
A FORCE FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH AND A BEACON OF DEMOCRACY.
WE VALUE YOUR CONTRIBUTION, YOUR GOOD JUDGMENT AND YOUR

MR. PRIME MINISTER, WE HAVE MUCH TO DISCUSS AT AN
IMPORTANT MOMENT IN HISTORY. EVENTS IN CHINA CALL FOR
CLOSE CONSULTATION AMONG THE FREE NATIONS.

THE UNITED STATES AND AUSTRALIA HAVE A LONG-STANDING
TRADITION OF SUCH CLOSE CONSULTATION ON IMPORTANT

ASSESSMENTS OF RECENT WORLD EVENTS.
THERE ARE MANY PRESSING INTERNATIONAL ISSUES. MR.

EFFORTS TO COPE WITH THE THREAT OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS IS
ADMIRED BY AMERICANS.
- 9 -
THE UNITED STATES SUPPORTS AUSTRALIA'S EFFORTS, AND YOU
MAY BE ASSURED OF OUR COMMITMENT TO THE EARLY
ACHIEVEMENT OF AN EFFECTIVELY VERIFIABLE TREATY BANNING
THESE WEAPONS.
So TODAY, WE SHALL DISCUSS WORLD EVENTS, ARMS

PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS: ARRIVAL STATEMENT/PRIME MINISTER HAWKE
JUNE 27/ (time to come)
Prime Minister and Mrs. Hawke: Barbara and I are very
pleased to welcome you as old friends to the United States and
the White House.
We had the opportunity to visit Australia in 1982 to help
celebrate Australian-American Friendship Week. So Barbara and I,
having enjoyed Australia's renowned hospitality, are delighted to
return the favor.
There is another reason why it is so fitting for Australia's
Prime Minister to be among our first official guests. Our
nations share a similar heritage -- not just a pioneer heritage
in the taming of two vast continents, but a heritage of language
and democratic ideas. In our last visit, Barbara and I joined
your countrymen in the commemoration of one of the most costly
battles of the Second World War -- the Battle of the Coral Sea
.
a poignant reminder of how much Americans and Australians
Morriso
have sacrificed four times in this century in the defense of
freedom.
2
So this is not just an alliance between two great powers.
It is a close friendship between two nations. Your visit
reaffirms the vigor of this friendship, the enduring strength of
our alliance.
The giant strides we have made lately toward many of our
& austral
the West
common goals -- Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, achievement
7
of an INF Treaty, the possibility of troop withdrawals from
Europe, and tentative steps toward ending Cambodia's protracted
nightmare, just to name a few -- all were made possible by the
resolve of the West. Our countries prize peace, but recognize
that peace comes only through Western strength and vigilance. We
must maintain our alliances if we are to fulfill the promise of a
new era of lessened tension and confrontation. That is why the
United States is so grateful for Australian leadership in our
common defense.
America also admires Australia's bold stand in foreign
policy, both close to home and far from your shores. From the
South Pacific to Africa, Australia is a force for economic growth
and a beacon of democracy.
Mr. Prime Minister, we have much to discuss concerning the
future of democracy. The United States and Australia have a
long-standing tradition of frank and easy consultation on issues
3
of mutual concern. That is why I am so interested in hearing
your assessments of recent world events.
There are other pressing international issues. Mr. Prime
Minister, your leadership in organizing international efforts to
cope with the threat of chemical weapons is admired by Americans.
The United States supports Australia's efforts, and you may be
assured of our commitment to the early achievement of an
effectively verifiable treaty banning these weapons.
So today, we shall discuss recent international events, arms
control and multilateral trade and also economic issues and
Pacific regional economic cooperation.
Mr. Prime Minister, Mrs. Hawke -- Bob and Hazel -- you have
a busy schedule in your brief time with us. But Barbara and I
hope to make your visit to Washington as pleasant and as
memorable as ours was to Australia.
Welcome to Washington.
