PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS: TOAST TO PRIME MINISTER HAWKE
JUNE 27, 1989/7:30 p.m.
I am very happy, Bob and Hazel, that Barbara and I have had
the opportunity to welcome you back to Washington.
I remember with fondness our visit to Australia in 1982, and
your previous visits to Washington. And now we have been
delighted with your gracious company during your all-too brief
stay. ((Bob, if I may, I believe the correct term is that you're
a fair dinkum bloke, and our meetings have gone quite bonzer.) )
((PAUSE))
But our friendship is a reflection of a deeper closeness.
Wilbur Garrett, editor of National Geographic, wrote that both
America and Australia exert an enduring fascination on each
other, "like brothers growing up in different parts of the
world." We have borne great sacrifices as brothers in war. Now
we share great responsibilities as brothers in peace.
In this century, Australia has risen in stature, from a
Dominion of England, to become a nation. A great nation. In
culture and the arts, the world has taken note -- Australia is a
rising star.

Let me single out just one aspect of Australian arts that
has captivated the world your cinema. Classic films like
"Gallipoli" are moving examples of why Australia is emerging as a
Breaker moront, Paticic Whites hobel prize for literature

But Australia has an even more profound contribution to make
to the world -- the encouragement and spread of democracy.

PRESIDENTIAL TALKING POINTS:
STATE DINNER
EAST ROOM
TUESDAY, JUNE 27, 1989
[TIME]
*
I'm grateful you all could be here tonight -- with our
friends the Prime Minister and Mrs. Hawke of Australia -- to
hear the incomparable singing of Ms. Leontyne Price.
*
Born in Laurel, Mississippi, she grew up wanting to be a
music teacher. Since then, she has taught us all ---
and taught the world -- to love music.
*
She has been called "the Stradivarius of singers." She was
the first opera singer to receive the Presidential Medal of
Freedom, in 1965, and the First Medal of Arts, in 1985.
*
She has sung here at the White House many times. And her
previous performances here have won Emmy Awards. We have
been very fortunate to have her here tonight -- together
with her long-time partner at the piano, David Garvey.
*
After a career of singing in the great halls of New York,
Vienna, Berlin, and London, the acoustics here in the East
Room may have been slightly disappointing -- but Leontyne, I
hope our enthusiasm has helped make up for it. Thank you.
[REGULATE. NOT]
One of my goals over the next four years is to see that you
spend more time doing business -- and less time trying to keep
government out of it. You operate in a fiercely competitive
industry. So you should be able to spend more time making long-
term investments, building economic growth, and creating jobs --
and less time fighting off Congress.
We know the kind of damage government intervention can do.
Not long ago, a businessman went out into the streets of Lima,
Peru, and started asking questions. He talked to street vendors,
and workers in the "informal" economy. He discovered that people
there work illegally because government over-regulation makes it
virtually impossible for them to run legitimate businesses.
As an experiment, he decided to set up a small garment
factory, to document the costs of entering the system legally.
After running the bureaucratic gauntlet, filling out countless
forms, he calculated that one person would have to spend 289
days, six hours a day to become certified to open a garment
factory. He tried to set up the same kind of business in New
York. It took two hours.
Let's think about what the future ought, to look like -- what
kind of companies we ought to see thriving in America, in the
year 2000.
We are at the edge of a fundamental change in the way work
is done in this country, and who's doing it. Over the next
decade the labor pool will grow more slowly than at any time
since World War II. Just half the rate of the 1970s.
Affirmative action, once purely a matter of legal
compulsion, will be driven by economic necessity. Child care and
parental leave will become the currency companies use to attract
the talent they need.
Health benefits, flexible benefit plans, progressive pension
policies -- all will gain momentum in the market for talent,
because the market will do what the law never could, or should.
Benefits should be mandated by the market.
It is time we understood the changes before us, and let the
market do its work. It is time we put legislative intervention
out of business.
By the end of this century fully a third of the workforce
will be new. Of that third, most will be women, blacks,
Hispanics, Asians, and immigrants. And as jobs are becoming more
demanding, a skills gap is widening.
We know that our taxation of capital gains now puts us at a
competitive disadvantage with most of our trading partners. We
know that cutting the capital gains rate will increase revenues
to the Treasury. Far from being a "tax break for the rich,' 80
percent of capital gains beneficiaries earn less than $50,000 a
year. And best of all, the capital gains tax cut creates jobs.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS:
SIGNING CEREMONY
SPACE COUNCIL EXECUTIVE ORDER
THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1989
[PLACE]
[TIME]
Thank you. It is a great pleasure to be with you today, on
an occasion like this.
(( You know, one of my staff just told
me that space is the "final frontier." And I spent the last two
years thinking the final frontier was New Hampshire ))
I want to thank all of you, for being here. You're helping
me fulfill a promise I made almost 18 months ago, in Huntsville,
Alabama -- at the George Marshall Space Center. I pledged then
-- and I'm pleased and proud now -- to reestablish the National
Space Council.
I have asked Vice President Quayle to serve as Chairman.
Under his able leadership, I'm confident that the Space Council
will bring coherence, continuity, and commitment to our efforts
to explore, study, and develop space.
I look to the Council to coordinate our civil, military, and
commercial efforts. We must: establish a permanent manned
presence in space, by building the Space Station Freedom;
encourage private initiatives and investment; and ensure our
2
national security, through effective defense activities in space.
You know, when people talk about space exploration -- what
it represents to us, in this country -- some say it captures the
American imagination. But it's more than that. Our efforts in
space unleash the imagination.
Twenty years ago, an entire generation of Americans was
inspired by the space program. We must continue on the path
we've blazed in earlier decades -- with renewed dedication.
Space is vitally important to our nation's future, and the
quality of life here on earth. It offers a technological
frontier, creating jobs for tomorrow. And space programs inspire
an interest in math, science, and engineering in young people --
knowledge so important for a competitive future.
Space offers us the chance to unlock secrets billions of
years old, and billions of light years away. Space is the
manifest destiny of a new generation -- and a new century.
Mr. Vice President, I sign this Executive Order with one
objective in mind: to keep America first in space. It is only a
matter of time, before the world salutes the first men and women
on their way outward, into the solar system. All of us want them
to be Americans.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AND PRIME MINISTER HAWKE
OF AUSTRALIA
IN EXCHANGE OF TOASTS
The State Dining Room
9:25 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Prime Minister and Mrs. Hawke -- Bob
and Hazel to us, to all of you -- we are just delighted to have this
opportunity to welcome you back to Washington, sir. I would once
more reminisce about the fondness with which I remember our visit to
Australia a few years ago, and then, of course, your own previous
visits to Washington, D.C. as Prime Minister. And now, we have been
delighted with your gracious company during this all-too-brief stay.
And, lest you wonder about the Prime Minister's travel
plans, it is my understanding that he and Hazel go right to the
airport, climb onto an airplane, and will be seen smiling and
greeting the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany about 1:00
p.m. Federal Republic of Germany Time. So we will be brief, and --
(Laughter.) But I think the friendship that we feel towards our
distinguished visitor is but a reflection of a deeper closeness.
Wilbur Garrett, the editor of the National Geographic
wrote that, "Both America and Australia exert an enduring fascination
on each other, like brothers growing up in different parts of the
world. Well, we've borne great sacrifices as brothers in war, and
now we share great responsibilities as brothers in peace. And in
this century, Australia has risen in stature from a dominion of
England to become a nation, a great nation, in culture and in the
arts. The world has taken note. Australia, the rising star.
In classic films like Gallipole and Breaker Morant and so
many others -- Patrick White's Nobel Prize for literature, are moving
examples of why Australia is emerging as this leading light in world
culture. Australia has an even more profound contribution to make to
the world -- the encouragement and spread of democracy. Australia is
the shining light in the Pacific, a lamp of liberty for the oppressed
peoples of the East.
And so, Bob, let me just take a moment to acknowledge
your own outstanding personal leadership in the region. You've led
with ideas to better organize the trading partners of the Pacific
Basin, and you've been a champion of freedom's cause. Your nation's
magnificent new Parliament Building is a fitting monument to
democratic principles. Little wonder that so many Americans,
including members of our own Congress, joined you for the
inauguration of that building, and even contributed to its
architecture in a reaffirmation of our kinship. It's a kinship that
is more profound than heritage, deeper than a shared language. It is
the universal kinship, the brotherhood of democracy.
Recent events in the Asia Pacific region show that it is
not enough to let a man buy what he wants. He must be allowed to say
what he believes. He must be allowed a voice in the governing of the
society. And economic freedom alone and political freedom, indeed,
go hand-in-hand. They depend one on the other. And therefore, it is
very timely for us to meet, consult, and I mean consult in the real
MORE
- 2 -
spirit of consultation, and once again affirm the solidarity of our
U.S.-Australian alliance.
The United States is fully engaged in Asia to support the
forces of peace, democracy, and yes, human rights. And our abiding
commitment to Australia and our friends and allies in the region is
going to remain strong and abiding. And I know that you stand with
us, sir, not just in favor of the free flow of goods, but one of
ideas and ideals of freedom.
So, ladies and gentlemen, let me say that Australia is a
strong fellow democracy, a very close ally of the United States of
America. This visit, in my view, sir, has been an outstanding
success. We are delighted that you have been with us -- you and
Hazel.
And now, I would like to offer a toast to Her Majesty,
Queen Elizabeth, Queen of Australia.
(A toast is offered.) (Applause.)
PRIME MINISTER HAWKE: Mr. President, George and Barbara,
and friends, I think the people of this country probably imagine that
they have a fair idea of the capabilities of their new President, as
well they should. He has been in the public eye for a very many,
many years. I may say that Barbara has given me a few insights into
some aspects of his character that are probably -- (laughter) -- not
so well known, but I want to assure you, my friends, that I've come
to learn, just in the last three days, that he has a capacity for
shrewdness which is almost limitless. It occurred on the golf
course. (Laughter.) We were lined up there -- the President, the
Prime Minister, and Baker, and Bob Michel. And I know that my
friend, Jim Baker, will take no offense, and I with my well-known
modesty, take no offense in acknowledging that, of the three of us,
apart from the President, there was not a doubt that Michel is the
best player. (Laughter.)
So with an innocence which was all belying, the President
of the United States said, we will now work out who plays one with
the other. So I thought that there would be a fairly reasonable
process that would be followed. It was very exotic, I can assure
you. He gets his ball and he takes a ball from each of us. He puts
his on the ground, and he said, now, here they go. He said, the ball
nearest mine will be my partner. And there was no doubt which ball
was nearest his; it was Michel's, of course. (Laughter.) It was
never going to be any other way. A very, very shrewd operator.
(Laughter.)
Now, we have shrewdness in sport, too, in our country.
George, I might say, I've had the opportunity of sitting next to --
here to Sarah, who shares my passion for racing. And I can tell you
a brief, true story about horse-racing in Australia, which will give
an indication that there is certain shrewdness in sport in our
country. It's a true story, I can assure you.
It was a country race meeting out. in the bush in
Australia, and this event was a three-horse race -- literally a
three-horse race. This punter went up to the bookmaker, and said,
I'll have $5,000 on Blue Vein. And the bookmaker took his $5,000
with a huge grin, and shoved it into his bookmaker's bag and said,
thank you very much. That's my horse. To which the punter replied,
it's going to be a bloody slow race, isn't it? I own the other two.
(Laughter.)
Well, my friend, George, the -- coming to more serious
matters, you and I and our two countries are not in a slow race.
We're certainly not in a race in which we're not trying. It's an
increasingly fast race, it's an increasingly serious race. It's a
race which requires all of our commitments and our courage and
devotion and best efforts.
MORE
- 3 -
George, you and I are both politicians. We've had a long
experience in politics. It would be honest enough to say that there
are times when you have to talk about persons -- even perhaps
sometimes when you have to talk about nations. And where there is no
substance in the relationship with the person or the nation with
which you're talking, as politicians you have to delve fairly deeply
into the wells of rhetoric and platitudes to do justice to the
situation.
But we're fortunately in the situation where we have to
do nothing of that kind. Between our nations, there is an enormous,
immeasurable substance. It's a substance, a relationship which has
been formed on the battlefields. On four occasions in this century,
our soldiers have fought next to one-another; they have died next to
one-another in defense of the fundamental beliefs that we share.
And in the times of peace, our nations also have been at
one in pursuing not only for the people of their own nations, but for
others, the achievement of those ideals of freedom and liberty.
As for us as individuals, George, we have had the
pleasure of not merely knowing one another, but of being friends for
the greater part of this decade -- certainly a friendship which I
cherish. And may I say to you, my friends, that in getting to know
George Bush, I've got to know a man whose integrity I. admire, whose
courage in defending lasting truths I admire, and whose boldness in
testing new frontiers of experience I have also increasingly come to
admire.
It is the case, George, that you and I, through the
responsibilities of leadership in our nations, have the experience
now of living at a point in history which I would suggest by almost
any definition is at one in the same time the most exciting and
challenging of any time in this 20th century -- certainly the most
challenging and promising, in a sense, than at any time in the
nuclear age.
We are entitled the rest of us in the world -- to say
of the leadership of the United States in recent times that, by the
discharge of your responsibilities, by the preparedness, as I say, to
exercise boldness in testing new frontiers, that you have given us
cause for a greater degree of optimism about the possibility of
living in a world in peace than at any other time in the nuclear age.
When I was here 12 months ago, in speaking to a Joint
Session of the Congress, I referred to that thesis which had been
gaining some currency, that this was a nation in some sort of
relative decline. I said, then, that that was a thesis that I
dispute, a concept that I reject. Because all of the evidence of
recent times, in my analysis, points in the other direction. It is
not merely a question of the continuation of your great economic
might, but on all the evidence of leadership that has been the
courage of the previous administration of which you were such a
leading part, and which you now, as President, have taken to new
frontiers.
It is that courage, that leadership, that boldness which,
with a certain responsiveness from the leadership in the Soviet
Union, has offered to mankind, to this generation and to our children
and to theirs a greater hope for peace than at any other time in this
nuclear age, which so frequently -- almost consistently -- has being
frought with. the ultimate danger of obliteration.
And it takes courage, it takes strength, it takes
leadership, it takes boldness to have done those things. And George,
I want to say to you that my country looks with enormous appreciation
to what this country has done and what you now as President are
doing. We thank you for the strength of our alliance. May I say in
the presence of the Ambassador-elect, who I have just recently gotten
MORE
- 4 -
to know -- Mel Sembler, and his wife, Betty -- I thank you for your
decision in choosing them as your representative in our country. We
look forward to welcoming them, and I take your selection of Mel
Sembler as an indication of the importance that you attach to our
relationship.
Our friendship, as I say, the friendship of our two
countries, forged in war and advanced in peace, rests on unshakable
foundations. It involves a commitment to ensure that the peoples of
our own nations, the United States and Australia, shall advance in
prosperity and in security.
But more importantly even than that, I think the strength
of our relationship is in our commitment that we shall do everything
in our power to see that those freedoms that we have nurtured and
which have given us our strength, our pleasure, our hope for the
future shall be freedoms and rights that increasingly, as a result of
our efforts shall be enjoyed by men and women around the globe. That
is our great responsibility, it's our great opportunity, and our
great challenge.
And may I say, George, for me, that it is an immeasurable
pleasure that I have this opportunity at this stage of history of
sharing with you the leadership of two great countries so firmly
united.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I offer you a toast to the
President of the United States, and to the abiding friendship and
partnership of the United States and Australia.
(A toast is offered.) (Applause.)

PRESS BRIEFING
BY ACTING ASSISTANT SECRETARY
FOR NEAR EASTERN AND SOUTH ASIAN AFFAIRS
WILLIAM CLARK
The Briefing Room
11:46 A.M. EDT
MR. POPADIUK: Good afternoon. Welcome to the readout on
the President's meeting with Prime Minister Hawke of Australia. The
rules are ON THE RECORD except for sound and camera. Today's briefer
is Acting Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific
Affairs, William Clark. The Secretary has a few opening remarks, and
then he'll take your questions.
MR. CLARK: Thank you. Good morning. The President had
a short private meeting this morning with Prime Minister Hawke,
followed by an expanded meeting which included the Vice President,
Secretaries Baker, Cheney, Chief of State John Sununu, General
Scowcroft, Bob Gates, myself, Doug Ball of the NSC staff, Bob
Zoellick from State.
Prime Minister Hawke was accompanied by Ambassador Cook;
Mr. Mike Codd, Secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and
Cabinet; Mr. Richard Woolcott, Secretary of the Department of Foreign
Affairs and Trade who had been here earlier talking about the Prime
Minister's specific initiative; Mr. Sandy Holloway his Principal
Private Secretary.
The Prime Minister's visit has been an opportunity for
him to meet members of the new administration and to discuss
bilateral and international issues. Australia is a firm security
partner within ANZUS, we share many views on international and
regional issues, and Australia is an important trading partner.
Prime Minister and Mrs. Hawke are old friends of
President and Mrs. Bush. The Prime Minister was last here in June,
1988 for an official working visit. President Bush visited Australia
in 1982.
In addition to his meeting with the President, Prime
Minister Hawke met yesterday with Secretaries Cheney, Brady and
Yeutter, and he will be meeting -- in fact, he is meeting now -- with
Secretary Baker, and that meeting will be followed by a luncheon at
the State Department.
The Prime Minister has also met with some Members of
Congress; he spoke at the National Press Club yesterday, as you all
know, and Prime Minister and Mrs. Hawke will be the guests of honor
at a White House dinner this evening.
Immediately following the dinner, the Prime Minister will
depart for the Federal Republic of Germany.
The chief issues discussed by the President and the Prime
Minister today were: the EEP, China, Pacific Basin, Philippines,
Soviet relations, arms control, Cambodia, Middle East. Thank you.
Q
What was that first issue?
MR. CLARK: EEP. Economic enhancement program -- ours.
Q
Export.
MORE
- 2 -
MR. CLARK: Export enhancement program -- thank you.
Q
What was said about the EEP?
MR. CLARK: The discussion of the EEP ran fairly parallel
-- if you saw the Prime Minister's remarks yesterday at the Press
Club -- we have differences over it, but we have one very similiar
position, and that is that export subsidies should be done away with
in the agricultural area, and the place to do that is in the Uruguay
round, and we will both be working to achieve that end.
Q
You're saying that we would only do away with our
subsidies to our grain manufacturers -- I mean, producers if the
other countries do?
MR. CLARK: Yes, that's what I'm saying. That's where we
solve it -- is in the Uruguay round. Both Australia and the United
States pushed very hard to have agriculture included in the round.
It is, and we will continue to work to have subsidies removed around
the world.
Q
But we'll only do it if all the other countries
agree? Is that our position?
MR. CLARK: We'll do it in the process of the round,
that's right.
Q
He draws the differences. Is he satisfied with this
approach? I mean, he seemed to be indicating that he was going to
lay it on the table.
MR. CLARK: No, we expressed -- discussed very frankly
the differences, but the agreed position and the agreed solution is
to take it to the round and to-work very hard to solve it there.
Q
So he doesn't think the U.S. can do anything
unilaterally?
MR. CLARK: No, we've agreed to do it within the round
right now.
Q
So he doesn't have a complaint?
MR. CLARK: He has a complaint, but the solution to the
complaint is a multinational solution.
Q
He's not pushing for Bush to do away with the --
Q
That's what I'm trying to ask.
Q
-- the export --
MR. CLARK: No, he is pushing -- well, he is but in the
context of the round. You know, everybody else too -- the EEC.
Q
So there is not any difference --
MR. CLARK: He is not making a demand right now that we
do away with it. That's absolutely right.
Q
Can you tell us a little about their discussion on
China?
MR. CLARK: Yes, discussion on China -- obviously both
are quite concerned. Australia was one of the leading countries in
redeveloping a relationship with China. They were ahead of us and
they have had a good and a special relationship with Beijing, and
they are as shocked and outraged as we are by the events that have
taken place there. If you caught the Prime Minister on the morning
show this morning, he said that he was in sync -- we were in sync on
our policies with China. We do agree with what has been done. But
there was a discussion of the situation now and an agreement that we
MORE
- 3 -
need to keep in touch with what is going on, but right now we're both
in the same place in terms of policy, and that's where we should be.
Q
Have they done anything in terms of sanctions?
MR. CLARK: He has -- not in terms of economic sanctions,
no. He ha cancelled his own visit to Beijing and several other
visits, so he has taken some visible moves to -- they don't have any
military relationship with China, so he wasn't able to do anything in
that area.
Q
What did they say about the Middle East, and was
there any talk at all of the ANZUS situation?
MR. CLARK: There was -- the ANZUS situation we have
discussed with the Australians probably more than anything else. So,
no, it didn't come up in that context. The context was
U.S. -Australian relations on the security front, which are quite
good.
In the Middle East, the -- was really general discussion
and it will probably be done in greater detail with -- between
Secretary Baker and Prime Minister Hawke, but there was a need to
take another look at Lebanon and see if there wasn't something we
could do about the tragic situation there.
Q
I gather a formal invitation to visit Australia has
been extended. Has it been accepted and has any time frame been set?
MR. CLARK: I think you can say it's been extended. The
Prime Minister extended it in his public remarks on arrival this
morning. The President has said he very much would like to visit
Australia, but no time has been set.
Q
What would be a logical time frame?
MR. CLARK: I will have to leave that to the White House
spokesman. I haven't got his schedule in front of me.
Q
Beyond outrage, shock, et cetera, did he bring
anything new in terms of information regarding China -- say, how long
this is going to go on, is it definitely on the road of oppression
until they totally control the country again? And is economic
progress or cooperation possible between -- with the West anymore?
MR. CLARK: Well, I think, yes, there was discussion of
the situation in China. I don't think anyone has a clear view still
as to how it's going to finally play out. All of us are convinced,
as the Secretary said, you may clear the Square, you can't clear your
conscience. And you cannot put the democratic genie back in the
bottle. So, in the long run, I think we're hopeful it can continue.
I think there is agreement between the two that we should not cut off
all of our contacts with China, we should maintain them so that we
have an opportunity to exert whatever influence we can in the days
ahead.
Q
Have you seen any evidence that you can make an
impact at all?
MR. CLARK: Oh, I think you can make some, but you know,
China is a very large and, at times of crisis, a very inward-looking
country. It's very hard to influence.
Q
Did I understand you to say that the Vice President
was at the talks this morning?
MR. CLARK: That's quite right, the Vice President was at
the talks this morning.
2
When Vice President Quayle was in Australia, he said
that U.S. farm subsidies were not harming Australian farmers.
Yesterday, Secretary Yeutter said they were. Did Vice President
MORE
- 4 -
Quayle today clarify that situation?
MR. CLARK: They did not discuss that today.
Q
There was some concern when Vice President Quayle
was in there that he was perhaps not across-the-subject as well as he
might have been. There was criticism from a senior Australian
minister that there was "no hope for him." Did he take an active and
high profile role in this morning's discussions?
MR. CLARK: Absolutely. Of course, the Vice President is
very clearly an active and important part of the team.
Q
Does the President now accept that the EEP does have
Australia's farming interests?
MR. CLARK: We have differing views on that, as you know.
And you can run statistics on both sides. Australia has its
statistics and does claim damage. We maintain that we run the EEP in
a manner that protects traditional markets and it's designed to go
after others.
So, we have a difference here. But the main point is, we
have agreed on the way to find a solution. Trying to run -- whether
we see it the same or not doesn't really get us too far forward.
Well, no, so what we've agreed is, the way to solve it is to do away
with this type of subsidy. And the way you do that is within the
Uruguay round.
Q
-- is very important. How do you have different
sets of figures? I never understood that. Could you explain how the
American figures are so different from the Australian figures on
this?
MR. CLARK: Well, you see the -- there is a question as
to what you would have had in a market if you'd had a market without
EEP and the growing conditions had been different and the U.S. hadn't
had a drought. And you can run that up several ways. So you make
different assumptions.
Q
So the official view from the White House remains
that Australian farm incomes are not reduced by the EEP?
MR. CLARK: The official position from the U.S.
government is that we make every effort to administer the EEP in a
manner that does not harm traditional suppliers.
Q
I just want to make sure that I understand what you
said a while ago. You said that Prime Minister Hawke did not make
any sort of request for the United States to unilaterally end its
export subsidies.
MR. CLARK: No, I said that the agreement -- and if you
look at his comments at the Press Club yesterday, that the solution
is to find -- is to reduce agricultural subsidies around the world in
the context of the Uruguay round.
Q
Just to clarify a point that's still murky here --
you can say that you make every effort to administer the EEP in a way
so as not to harm, et cetera, et cetera. But what is the official
position if you have this unreconciled difference between Quayle and
Yeutter and what have you -- is Australia being harmed or not? I
haven't heard a yes or a no here.
MR. CLARK: What I'm saying is that we maintain that we
do it in a way that we think does not harm. Australia maintains that
there is harm. There is a difference here. The difference has not
been resolved. We have different views.
Q
So your position is the Quayle position, not the
Yeutter position, that Yeutter is out of step here if he says that
they are being affected?
MORE
- 5 -
MR. CLARK: Look, what I'm saying is that we have -- we
-- there is a difference of opinion on this, it has not been
resolved, but the way to resolve it is not to argue about that, but
is to do away with it.
Q
But the difference is within the administration.
MR. CLARK: No.
Q
You're saying there's a difference between you and
the Australians, but there's also a difference within the
administration.
MR. CLARK: That I will leave to you to ask Clayton
Yeutter about, because I can't do that one for you.
Q
So Vice President Quayle was correct, then?
Q
So your position -- you disagree with -- or just
what's doing that --
MR. CLARK: No, wait a minute. Let me finish. I'm
briefing on the meeting today. You're into technical areas that I
can't do. Sorry.
Q
Okay, what about the Philippines?
Q
Did you discuss the Prime Minister's regional trade
initiative, and was it decided whether there will be a ministerial
meeting in Australia later in the year?
MR. CLARK: Yes, we did discuss the Prime Minister's
regional trade initiative, and if you looked at the Secretary's
speech in New York last night, you'll see that we have been doing a
lot of thinking ourselves, and we find that the Prime Minister's
thoughts on that are very useful. If, indeed, the timing, substance,
and the agenda can be resolved and there is a consensus in the
region, we would very much support the Prime Minister's call for a
regional meeting this fall.
Q
What about the Philippines, Roman? What happened --
what did they say about that?
Q
Do you want it to be held in Australia and the U.S.
would go to Australia to sell this --
MR. CLARK: Of course.
Q
You said they talked about the Philippines --
MR. CLARK: They talked about the current situation in
the Philippines. There is, as you know, a meeting -- this is the
last question -- there is, as you know, a meeting in Tokyo on the 3rd
and 4th of next month that will be a session to kick off the
multinational aid initiative to the Philippines. There was some
discussion of that -- who would attend -- and a good deal of
confidence on both sides that President Aquino has gotten a good hold
on the situation, moving forward.
THE PRESS: Thank you.

[TIME]
*
I'm grateful you all could be here tonight -- with our
friends the Prime Minister and Mrs. Hawke of Australia -- to
hear the incomparable singing of Ms. Leontyne Price.
*
Leontyne Price is a hard act to follow. Born in Laurel,
Mississippi, she grew up wanting to be a music teacher.
Since then, she has taught us all -- and taught the world --
to love music.
*
She has been called "the Stradivarius of singers." She was
the first opera singer to receive the Presidential Medal of
Freedom, in 1965, and the First Medal of Arts, in 1985.
*
She has sung here at the White House many times. And her
previous performances here have won Emmy Awards. We have
been very fortunate to have her here tonight -- together
with her long-time partner at the piano, David Garvey.
you have our enthusiastic appretion
*
After a career of singing in the great halls of Vienna,
Berlin, London, and New York, the acoustics here in the East
Room may have been slightly disappointing -- but Leontyne, I
hope our enthusiasm has helped make up for it. Thank you.
PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS: TOAST TO PRIME MINISTER HAWKE
JUNE 27, 1989/7:30 P.M.
I AM VERY HAPPY, BoB AND HAZEL, THAT BARBARA AND I
HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WELCOME YOU BACK TO
WASHINGTON.
I REMEMBER WITH FONDNESS OUR VISIT To AUSTRALIA IN
1982, AND YOUR PREVIOUS VISITS TO WASHINGTON. AND NOW
WE HAVE BEEN DELIGHTED WITH YOUR GRACIOUS COMPANY
DURING YOUR ALL-TOO BRIEF STAY.
- 2 -
((BoB, IF I MAY, I BELIEVE THE CORRECT TERM IS THAT
YOU'RE A FAIR DINKUM BLOKE, AND OUR MEETINGS HAVE GONE
QUITE BONZER.)) ((PAUSE))
BUT OUR FRIENDSHIP IS A REFLECTION OF A DEEPER
CLOSENESS. WILBUR GARRETT, EDITOR OF NATIONAL
GEOGRAPHIC, WROTE THAT BOTH AMERICA AND AUSTRALIA EXERT
AN ENDURING FASCINATION ON EACH OTHER, "LIKE BROTHERS
GROWING UP IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD."
- 3 -
WE HAVE BORNE GREAT SACRIFICES AS BROTHERS IN WAR. Now
WE SHARE GREAT RESPONSIBILITIES AS BROTHERS IN PEACE.
IN THIS CENTURY, AUSTRALIA HAS RISEN IN STATURE,
FROM A DOMINION OF ENGLAND, TO BECOME A NATION. A
GREAT NATION. IN CULTURE AND THE ARTS, THE WORLD HAS
TAKEN NOTE -- AUSTRALIA IS A RISING STAR.
- 4 -
CLASSIC FILMS LIKE "GALLIPOLI" AND "BREAKER
MORANT", PATRICK WHITE'S NOBEL PRIZE FOR LITERATURE ARE
MOVING EXAMPLES OF WHY AUSTRALIA IS EMERGING AS A
LEADING LIGHT IN WORLD CULTURE.
BUT AUSTRALIA HAS AN EVEN MORE PROFOUND
CONTRIBUTION TO MAKE TO THE WORLD -- THE ENCOURAGEMENT
AND SPREAD OF DEMOCRACY. AUSTRALIA IS A SHINING LIGHT
IN THE PACIFIC, A LAMP OF LIBERTY FOR THE OPPRESSED
PEOPLES OF THE EAST.
- 5 -
BoB, LET ME TAKE JUST A MOMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR
OUTSTANDING PERSONAL LEADERSHIP IN THE REGION. You
HAVE LED WITH IDEAS TO BETTER ORGANIZE THE TRADING
PARTNERS OF THE PACIFIC BASIN AND YOU HAVE BEEN A
CHAMPION OF FREEDOM'S CAUSE.
YOUR NATION'S MAGNIFICENT NEW PARLIAMENT BUILDING
IS A FITTING MONUMENT TO DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.
- 6 -
LITTLE WONDER THAT so MANY AMERICANS INCLUDING MEMBERS
OF OUR CONGRESS, JOINED YOU FOR THE INAUGURATION OF
THAT BUILDING -- AND EVEN CONTRIBUTED TO ITS
ARCHITECTURE IN A REAFFIRMATION OF OUR KINSHIP. IT IS
A KINSHIP THAT IS MORE PROFOUND THAN HERITAGE, DEEPER
THAN A SHARED LANGUAGE. IT IS THE UNIVERSAL KINSHIP,
THE BROTHERHOOD OF DEMOCRACY.
RECENT EVENTS IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION SHOW THAT
IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO LET A MAN BUY WHAT HE WANTS.
- 7 -
HE MUST BE ALLOWED TO SAY WHAT HE BELIEVES. HE MUST BE
ALLOWED A VOICE IN THE GOVERNING OF SOCIETY. ECONOMIC
FREEDOM ALONE AND POLITICAL FREEDOM INDEED GO HAND IN
HAND AND DEPEND ON ONE ANOTHER.
THEREFORE, IT IS VERY TIMELY FOR US TO MEET,
CONSULT AND ONCE AGAIN AFFIRM THE SOLIDARITY OF OUR
U.S. -AUSTRALIAN ALLIANCE. THE UNITED STATES IS FULLY
ENGAGED IN ASIA, TO SUPPORT THE FORCES OF PEACE,
DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS.
- 8 -
OUR ABIDING COMMITMENT TO AUSTRALIA AND OUR OTHER
FRIENDS AND ALLIES IN THE REGION WILL REMAIN STRONG AND
ABIDING. AND I KNOW THAT AUSTRALIA STANDS WITH US, NOT
JUST IN FAVOR OF THE FREE FLOW OF GOODS -- BUT OF THE
IDEAS AND IDEALS OF FREEDOM.
- 9 -
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AUSTRALIA IS A STRONG FELLOW
DEMOCRACY AND A CLOSE ALLY OF THE UNITED STATES. I
OFFER THIS TOAST TO HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH OF
AUSTRALIA.

PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS: TOAST TO PRIME MINISTER HAWKE
JUNE 27, 1989/7:30 p.m.
I am very happy, Bob and Hazel, that Barbara and I have had
the opportunity to welcome you back to Washington.
I remember with fondness our visit to Australia in 1982, and
your previous visits to Washington. And now we have been
delighted with your gracious company during your all-too brief
stay. ((Bob, if I may, I believe the correct term is that you're

((PAUSE))
I Cannot
fact check this!
But our friendship is a reflection of a deeper closeness.
Wilbur Garrett, editor of National Geographic, wrote that both
America and Australia exert an enduring fascination on each
other, "like brothers growing up in different parts of the
world." We have borne great sacrifices as brothers in war. Now
we share great responsibilities as brothers in peace.
In this century, Australia has risen in stature, from
a
Dominion of England, to become a nation. A great nation. In
culture and the arts, the world has taken note -- Australia is a
rising star.
2
Let me single out just one aspect of Australian arts that
has captivated the world -- your cinema. Classic films like
"Gallipoli" are moving examples of why Australia is emerging as a
leading light in world culture.
But Australia has an even more profound contribution to make
to the world -- the encouragement and spread of democracy.
Australia is a shining light in the Pacific, a lamp of liberty
for the oppressed peoples of the East.
Since your last visit to this city, Australia has
inaugurated a magnificent new Parliament building
a fitting
monument to a long history of self-government under democratic
principles. Little wonder that so many Americans and members of
the U.S. Congress joined you on that occasion, to reaffirm our
kinship. It is a kinship that is more profound than heritage,
deeper than a shared language. It is the universal kinship, the
brotherhood of democracy.
Recent events in the Asia-Pacific region show that it not
enough to let a man buy what he wants. He must be allowed to say
what he believes. He must be allowed to choose his government.
Economic freedom alone will not provide sufficient room for the
restless human spirit.
3
It is particularly timely that we could once again affirm
the solidarity of the U.S.-Australian alliance. The United
States will remain fully engaged in Asia, to support the forces
of peace, democracy and human rights. Our abiding commitment to
Australia and our other friends and allies in the region will
remain strong. And I know that Australia stands with us, not
just in favor of the free flow of goods -- but of the ideas and
ideals of freedom.
Ladies and gentlemen, Australia is a strong fellow democracy
and a close ally of the United States. I offer this toast to Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth of Australia.

PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS: TOAST TO PRIME MINISTER HAWKE
JUNE 27, 1989/7:30 p.m.
I am very happy, Bob and Hazel, that Barbara and I have had
the opportunity to welcome you back to Washington.
I remember with fondness our visit to Australia in 1982, and
your previous visits to Washington. And now we have been
delighted with your gracious company during your all-too brief
stay. ((Bob, if I may, I believe the correct term is that you're
a fair dinkum bloke, and our meetings have gone quite bonzer.))
((PAUSE))
But our friendship is a reflection of a deeper closeness.
Wilbur Garrett, editor of National Geographic, wrote that both
America and Australia exert an enduring fascination on each
other, "like brothers growing up in different parts of the
world." We have borne great sacrifices as brothers in war. Now
we share great responsibilities as brothers in peace.
In this century, Australia has risen in stature, from a
Dominion of England, to become a nation. A great nation. In
culture and the arts, the world has taken note -- Australia is a
rising star.
2
Let me single out just one aspect of Australian arts that
has captivated the world -- your cinema. Classic films like
"Gallipoli" are moving examples of why Australia is emerging as a
leading light in world culture.
But Australia has an even more profound contribution to make
to the world -- the encouragement and spread of democracy.
Australia is a shining light in the Pacific, a lamp of liberty
for the oppressed peoples of the East.
Since your last visit to this city, Australia has
inaugurated a magnificent new Parliament building
a fitting
monument to a long history of self-government under democratic
principles. Little wonder that so many Americans and members of
the U.S. Congress joined you on that occasion, to reaffirm our
kinship. It is a kinship that is more profound than heritage,
deeper than a shared language. It is the universal kinship, the
brotherhood of democracy.
Recent events in the Asia-Pacific region show that it not
enough to let a man buy what he wants. He must be allowed to say
what he believes. He must be allowed to choose his government.
Economic freedom alone will not provide sufficient room for the
restless human spirit.

It is particularly timely that we could once again affirm
the solidarity of the U.S.-Australian alliance. The United

WASHINGTON
June 23, 1989 89 JUN 23 P12: 46
MEMORANDUM FOR CHRISS WINSTON
FROM:
STEPHEN G. RADEMAKER
SR
ASSOCIATE COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT:
Presidential Address - Toast to Prime Minister
Hawke
Pursuant to James Cicconi's request, Counsel's Office has
reviewed the above-referenced matter. We recommend that the
words "friends and" be deleted from the sentence on page 3
reading "Our abiding commitment to Australia and our other
friends and allies in the region will remain strong." The word
"commitment" is not defined in this context, and therefore this
statement could be construed as extending to "friends" our legal
commitment to U.S. allies.
Apart from this suggestion, Counsel's Office no legal objection
to the arrival statement as drafted. We note that our
commercialization concerns ordinarily would lead us to object to
the reference to the movie "Gallipoli" on page 2, but in the
context of a salute to a foreign culture, and given that the
movie is not a recent release, we have no objection.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
