PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: TOAST AT THE STATE DINNER IN POLAND
RADZIWILL PALACE, WARSAW
MONDAY, JULY 10, 1989, 7:55 P.M.
[Mr. President], Mr. Prime Minister, Members of the Polish
delegation -- thank you for your hospitality tonight, and
throughout our stay. We are very pleased and honored to be here.
The American people have a special and enduring interest in
Poland. And in recent months we have watched remarkable events
unfold here.
And so this is not an ordinary visit -- for in Poland these
are not ordinary times.
When I was last here, almost two years ago, our relations
had just emerged from a long, chilly period. But we have made
great progress, and covered many issues -- cultural, commercial,
consular, scientific, communications, counterterrorism, human
rights and others.
[Mr. President], the rewards for successful effort are, as
always, more and greater challenges. Poland is entering a new
era. It is beginning once again to command its own destiny.
Polish energy and creativity are being tapped. Great steps have
been taken already -- the remarkable Roundtable accords,
Solidarity's legalization, the holding of fair elections, the
restoration of a freely-elected Polish Senate. And more steps
await on the road ahead.
2
Poland has surpassed all expectations. And we respect you
for it.
Reform is a difficult process, as you well know. There are
neither easy answers, nor cost-free solutions. But there is a
sound basis for hope. And today, you have the goodwill of an
expectant and hopeful world.
Poland now seeks a democratic future in these exciting
times, we see hope, not only for a new beginning in Poland but
for the beginning of Europe's reconciliation, for making Europe
whole and free and at peace with itself.
We want Poland to succeed in this historic effort. And we
have outlined for you ways in which the United States can help
Poland help itself. Both our governments have a great deal of
work to do.
Our hearts -- as always -- will be filled with the abiding
commitment the American people feel for this land and her people.
You know, over the past two years we have celebrated the
200th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution. And yet, not every
American knows that a short time later -- the world's second
written constitution was adopted by the Polish Parliament.
And today, I believe the spirit that produced the 3rd May
Constitution lives on in Warsaw, in Krakow (KRAH-Koof), in
Gdansk. And my wish for you is that two years from now, on the
bicentennial of your constitution, the Polish people will have
achieved the kind of democratic transformation -- the democratic
alternative -- so long awaited, so long deferred.

[Mr. President], Mr. Prime Minister --
Let us lift our glasses to the progress we have made in
relations -- and to our determination to proceed toward the
better days and great achievements still to come.

ENTERING A NEW ERA. IT IS BEGINNING ONCE AGAIN TO
COMMAND ITS OWN DESTINY. POLISH ENERGY AND CREATIVITY
ARE BEING TAPPED.
- 4 -
GREAT STEPS HAVE BEEN TAKEN ALREADY -- THE REMARKABLE
ROUNDTABLE ACCORDS, SOLIDARITY'S LEGALIZATION, THE
HOLDING OF FAIR ELECTIONS, THE RESTORATION OF A FREELY-
ELECTED POLISH SENATE. AND MORE STEPS AWAIT ON THE
ROAD AHEAD.
POLAND HAS SURPASSED ALL EXPECTATIONS. AND WE
RESPECT YOU FOR IT.
REFORM IS A DIFFICULT PROCESS, AS YOU WELL KNOW.
- 5 -
THERE ARE NEITHER EASY ANSWERS, NOR COST-FREE
SOLUTIONS. BUT THERE IS A SOUND BASIS FOR HOPE. AND
TODAY, YOU HAVE THE GOODWILL OF AN EXPECTANT AND
HOPEFUL WORLD.
WE SEE HOPE, NOT ONLY FOR A NEW BEGINNING IN POLANI
BUT FOR THE BEGINNING OF EUROPE'S RECONCILIATION, FOR
MAKING EUROPE WHOLE AND FREE AND AT PEACE WITH ITSELF.

WE WANT POLAND TO SUCCEED IN THIS HISTORIC EFFORT
AND WE HAVE OUTLINED FOR YOU WAYS IN WHICH THE UNITED

GOVERNMENTS HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF WORK TO DO.
OUR HEARTS -- AS ALWAYS -- WILL BE FILLED WITH THI
ABIDING COMMITMENT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FEEL FOR THIS
LAND AND HER PEOPLE.
- 7 -
You KNOW, OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS WE HAVE
CELEBRATED THE 200TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE U.S.
CONSTITUTION. AND YET, NOT EVERY AMERICAN KNOWS THAT A
SHORT TIME LATER -- THE WORLD'S SECOND WRITTEN
CONSTITUTION WAS ADOPTED BY THE POLISH PARLIAMENT.
AND TODAY, I BELIEVE THE SPIRIT THAT PRODUCED THE
3RD MAY CONSTITUTION LIVES ON IN WARSAW, IN KRAKOW
(KRA-Kov), IN GDANSK.
- 8 -
AND MY WISH FOR YOU IS THAT TWO YEARS FROM NOW, ON THE
BICENTENNIAL OF YOUR CONSTITUTION, THE POLISH PEOPLE
WILL HAVE ACHIEVED THE KIND OF POLITICAL TRANSFORMATION
so LONG AWAITED, SO LONG DEFERRED.
- 9 -
MR. CHAIRMAN, MR. PRIME MINISTER -- LET US LIFT OUR
GLASSES TO THE PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE IN RELATIONS --
AND TO OUR DETERMINATION TO PROCEED TOWARD THE BETTER
DAYS AND GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS STILL TO COME.

President John Quincy Adams. In 1821, during his service as

Memorandum to Chriss Winston
From:
Jim Pinkerton Q
Subject:
Draft Toast At the State Dinner In Poland
By way of suggestion, we note that none of the President's
Polish speeches refer to the Polish winner of the 1980 Nobel
Prize for Literature. Although Czeslaw Milosz is now a U.S.
citizen, he is universally recognized as the literary and poetic
voice of conscience for Poland, and his book, The Captive Mind,
is a classic.
Milosz in many ways bears the same relation to Poland as
Solzhenitsyn bears to the Soviet Union. While Milosz may be too
discordant a note to use at a state dinner, it would be a shame
for the President not to make some mention of him while in the
country.
pg. 3, para. 3, line 1 " to the progress in relations we have
made
" The "we have made" should refer to "progress" and
not, as here, to "relations."

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: TOAST AT THE STATE DINNER IN POLAND
RADZIWILL PALACE, WARSAW
MONDAY, JULY 10, 1989, 7:55 P.M.
Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister, Members of the Polish
delegation -- thank you for your hospitality tonight, and
throughout our stay. We are very pleased and honored to be here.
Like me, the American people have a special and long-term
interest in Poland. And in recent months we have watched some
remarkable events unfold here.
And so this is not an ordinary visit -- for in Poland these
are not ordinary times.
When I was last here, almost two years ago, our relations
had just emerged from a long, chilly period. But we have made
fast progress, and covered many issues -- cultural, commercial,
consular, scientific, communications, counterterrorism, human
rights and others.
Mr. President, the rewards for successful effort are, as
always, more and greater challenges. Poland is entering a new
era. It is beginning once again to command its own history.
Polish energy and creativity are being tapped. Great steps have
been taken already -- the remarkable Roundtable accords,
Solidarity's legalization, the holding of fair elections, the
restoration of a freely-elected Polish Senate. And more steps
await on the road ahead.
2
Poland has surpassed all expectations. And we respect you
for it.
Reform is a difficult process, as you well know. There are
neither easy answers, nor cost-free solutions. But there is a

expectant and hopeful world.

For Immediate Release

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT STATE DINNER HOSTED
BY GENERAL JARUZELSKI
Radziwill Palace
Warsaw, Poland
8:55 P.M. (L)
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Chairman, Mr. Prime Minister and
members of the Polish delegation, thank you for your hospitality
tonight and throughout our stay. We are very pleased and honored to
be here.
The American people have a special and enduring interest
in Poland. And in recent months we have watched remarkable events
unfold here.
And so this is not an ordinary visit -- for in Poland
these are not ordinary times.
When I was last here, almost two years ago, our relations
had just emerged from a long, chilly period. But we have made great
progress and covered many issues -- cultural, commercial, consular,
scientific, communications, human rights and others.
Mr. Chairman, the rewards for successful effort are, as
always, more and greater challenges. Poland is entering a new era.
It is beginning once again to command its own destiny. Polish energy
and creativity are being tapped. And great steps have been taken
already -- the remarkable Roundtable Accords, Solidarity's
legalization, the holding of fair elections, the restoration of a
freely-elected Polish Senate. And more steps await on the road
ahead.
Poland has surpassed all expectations. And we respect
you for that.
Reform is a difficult process, as you well know. And
there are neither easy answers, nor cost-free solutions. But there
is a sound basis for hope. And today you have the goodwill of an
expectant and hopeful world.
We see hope, not only for a new beginning in Poland, but
for the beginning of Europe's reconciliation, for making Europe whole
and free and at peace with itself.
We want Poland to succeed in this historic effort. And
we have outlined ways in which the United States can help Poland help
itself. Both our governments have a great deal of work to do.
Our hearts -- as always -- will be filled with the
abiding commitment the American people feel for this land and for her
people. You know, over the past two years we have celebrated the
200th anniversary of the United States Constitution, and yet, not
every American knows that a short time later the world's second
written constitution was adopted by the Polish Parliament.
