TEXT OF REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
UPON DEPARTURE FROM ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE
EN ROUTE SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA
Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland
October 27, 1989
This morning we are traveling to San Jose, at the invitation of
President Arias, to celebrate a century of democracy in the
Republic of Costa Rica. As with our trip in July, when we
traveled to Paris to commemorate their bicentennial, we will
carry with us the warm congratulations of the American people to
a nation that has been both a good friend, a good neighbor, and a
pillar of democracy.
Three years from now, we will celebrate the 500th Anniversary of
Columbus's first great voyage of discovery. Eight years after
that, the beginning of a new century.
As we approach these landmarks, the people of the Western
Hemisphere have strongly affirmed their democratic ideals. In
nation after nation, courageous people voted new leaders into
office and marked the end of autocratic rule. Today, many who
blazed the path to democracy are transferring the people's
mandate to elected successors. Costa Rica is no longer one of a
few lonely democracies. Indeed, today there are only a few
lonely holdouts against the sweep of democracy through the
hemisphere.
I believe history will show that this hemisphere's democratic
resurgence helped set the stage for today's electrifying changes
in the communist world. When people replace dictatorship with
popular rule across an entire continent -- the world takes
notice. The news is irrepressible and inspiring for those with
democratic dreams of their own.
Here in the Americas, we have the opportunity to create the
world's first completely democratic hemisphere, where free
markets and the marketplace of ideas can prosper hand in hand.
And so we journey today to advance this new world of freedom, and
to salute the traditions of a nation and a people that, in many
ways, represents the model for our entire hemisphere.

ANDREWS A.F.B. DEPARTURE STATEMENT
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1989 / 6:20 A.M.
THIS MORNING WE ARE TRAVELING TO SAN JOSE, AT THE
INVITATION OF PRESIDENT ARIAS, TO CELEBRATE A CENTURY
OF DEMOCRACY IN THE REPUBLIC OF COSTA RICA. As WITH
OUR TRIP IN JULY, WHEN WE TRAVELED TO PARIS To
COMMEMORATE THEIR BICENTENNIAL, WE WILL CARRY WITH US
THE WARM CONGRATULATIONS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO A
NATION THAT HAS BEEN BOTH A GOOD FRIEND, A GOOD
NEIGHBOR, AND A PILLAR OF DEMOCRACY.
- 2 -
THREE YEARS FROM NOW, WE WILL CELEBRATE THE 500TH
ANNIVERSARY OF COLUMBUS'S FIRST GREAT VOYAGE OF
DISCOVERY. EIGHT YEARS AFTER THAT, THE BEGINNING OF A
NEW CENTURY.
As AS WE APPROACH THESE LANDMARKS, THE PEOPLE OF
THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE HAVE STRONGLY AFFIRMED THEIR
DEMOCRATIC IDEALS. IN NATION AFTER NATION, COURAGEOUS
PEOPLE VOTED NEW LEADERS INTO OFFICE AND MARKED THE END
OF AUTOCRATIC RULE.
- 3 -
TODAY, MANY WHO BLAZED THE PATH To DEMOCRACY ARE
TRANSFERRING THE PEOPLE'S MANDATE TO ELECTED
SUCCESSORS. COSTA RICA IS NO LONGER ONE OF A FEW
LONELY DEMOCRACIES. INDEED, TODAY THERE ARE ONLY A FEW
LONELY HOLDOUTS AGAINST THE SWEEP OF DEMOCRACY THROUGH
THE HEMISPHERE.
I BELIEVE HISTORY WILL SHOW THAT THIS HEMISPHERE'S
DEMOCRATIC RESURGENCE HELPED SET THE STAGE FOR TODAY'S
ELECTRIFYING CHANGES IN THE COMMUNIST WORLD.
- 4 -
WHEN PEOPLE REPLACE DICTATORSHIP WITH POPULAR RULE
ACROSS AN ENTIRE CONTINENT -- THE WORLD TAKES NOTICE.
THE NEWS IS IRREPRESSIBLE AND INSPIRING FOR THOSE WITH
DEMOCRATIC DREAMS OF THEIR OWN.
HERE IN THE AMERICAS, WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY To
CREATE THE WORLD'S FIRST COMPLETELY DEMOCRATIC
HEMISPHERE, WHERE FREE MARKETS AND THE MARKETPLACE OF
IDEAS CAN PROSPER HAND IN HAND.
- 5 -
AND so WE JOURNEY TODAY TO ADVANCE THIS NEW WORLD
OF FREEDOM, AND TO SALUTE THE TRADITIONS OF A NATION
AND A PEOPLE THAT, IN MANY WAYS, REPRESENTS THE MODEL
FOR OUR ENTIRE HEMISPHERE.
THANK YOU. AND I WISH YOU ALL A PLEASANT WEEKEND.

Draft Two (B:ANDREWS.DEP)
PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: ANDREWS A.F.B. DEPARTURE STATEMENT
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1989, 6:45 A.M.
Let me say, first of all, that I appreciate the early hour,
and I appreciate the White House Photo Doys and all who got up
and came out all this way with your cameras. Good Morning
America doesn't even come on air for another 15 minutes.
This morning we are traveling to San Jose, at the invitation
of President Arias, to celebrate a century of democracy in the
republic of Costa Rica. As with our trip in July, when we
traveled to Paris to commemorate the bicentennial of democratic
beginnings in France, we will carry with us the warm
congratulations of the American people to a nation that has been
both a good friend and a good neighbor.
And yes -- we did schedule this trip before we knew that
tonight would mark Game Three of the World Series.
Three years from now, we will celebrate the 500th
anniversary of Columbus's first great voyage of discovery. Eight
years after that, the beginning of a new century.
As as we approach these landmarks, the people of the Western
Hemisphere have strongly reasserted their democratic ideals. In
nation after nation, courageous people voted new leaders into
office and marked the end of autocratic rule. Today, many who
blazed the path to democracy are transferring the people's
2
mandate to elected successors. Costa Rica is no longer one of a
few lonely democracies.
I believe history will show that this hemisphere's
democratic resurgence helped set the stage for today's
electrifying changes in the communist world. When people replace
dictatorship with popular rule across an entire continent -- the
world takes notice. The news is irrepressible and inspiring for
those with democratic dreams of their own.
Here in the Americas, we have the opportunity to create the
world's first completely democratic hemisphere, where free
markets and the marketplace of ideas can prosper hand in hand.
And so we journey today to advance this vision of
cooperation, and to salute the traditions of a nation and a
people that, in many ways, represents the model to which the
entire hemisphere is turning.
Thank you. And I wish you all a pleasant weekend.
