PRESIDENTIAL TALKING POINTS:
POLISH EMBASSY COMMUNITY
WARSAW, POLAND
TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1989
It's wonderful to be here again -- and to see so many
familiar faces.
Barbara and I want to thank you for the tremendous efforts
you made to make this visit so successful. I know from
experience how much goes into trips like this -- and I want
you to know, we appreciate it.
Any American embassy -- anywhere in the world -- has a great
responsibility to serve American interests, carry out U.S.
programs and initiatives, and keep the Secretary of State
and me well informed about new developments.
*
But this embassy is particularly important right now. You
have been living and working through extraordinary times
here in Poland. And your performance amid the turbulence
and excitement of recent months has been outstanding.
*
You have been here, not simply as witnesses, but as active
agents of change -- as Poland conducts its great experiment
in democracy. You understand that the present ferment of
political and economic reforms can unleash the enterprise
and creativity of a great people.
*
Mr. Ambassador, Mrs. Davis -- you have a first-rate group of
people here, holding up the best traditions of government
service. Your professional dedication is helping us move
forward, to support democracy in Poland, and strengthen
relations between the governments and peoples of Poland and
the United States.
*
Keep up the fine work. Thank you. And God bless you.
