PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS:
TOAST AT ST. MARTIN LUNCHEON WITH
PRESIDENT MITTERRAND
SAINT MARTIN
DECEMBER 16, 1989
12:30 P.M.
I want to thank President Mitterrand for his kind words. I
am pleased that we had this opportunity to meet, and I am
delighted that my host chose this lovely island as the site of
our talks today. Between the snow we've been having in
Washington and the choppy seas off Malta, I've been looking
forward to these four hours on St. Martin all month.
We've proved today that serious work can take place in
beautiful surroundings -- and even when I feel sure the fish are
biting.
Mr. President, meetings like these are always productive --
but they take on added significance in the present time of
change. The changes sweeping Eastern Europe are challenges for
the West -- opportunities for us to encourage the emergence of a
Europe truly whole and free.
And France is at the forefront of positive change. In its
effort to find common ground among nations. In the sweep of its
vision and the realism of its policies. In the historic work the
European Community is doing -- under French leadership -- to help
build a new Europe, and to support the reforms taking place in
2
Eastern Europe. And above all, as a valued ally -- a partner
that understands the vital role our alliance of free nations will
continue to play in the new Europe now emerging.
Mr. President, in addition to events in Europe, our talks
today touched on the continuing tragedy of Lebanon. And let me
repeat here -- publicly -- what I said in our private session:
the United States stands ready to do whatever it can to bring
peace -- lasting peace -- to all the people of Lebanon -- and we
support France's efforts to bring us closer to that long-awaited
day.
Mr. President: our personal friendship -- like the
friendship between America and France -- is made stronger by the
common aims and ideals on which it rests.
So let us all raise our glasses:
To my host President Mitterrand, to the French Republic --
and to the enduring friendship between the people of France and
America.

THE FISH ARE BITING.
- 3 -
MR. PRESIDENT, MEETINGS LIKE THESE ARE ALWAYS
PRODUCTIVE -- BUT THEY TAKE ON ADDED SIGNIFICANCE IN
THE PRESENT TIME OF CHANGE. THE CHANGES SWEEPING
EASTERN EUROPE ARE CHALLENGES FOR THE WEST --
OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO ENCOURAGE THE EMERGENCE OF A
EUROPE TRULY WHOLE AND FREE.
- 4 -
AND FRANCE IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF POSITIVE CHANGE.
IN ITS EFFORT TO FIND COMMON GROUND AMONG NATIONS. IN
THE SWEEP OF ITS VISION AND THE REALISM OF ITS
POLICIES. IN THE HISTORIC WORK THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY
IS DOING -- UNDER FRENCH LEADERSHIP -- TO HELP BUILD A
NEW EUROPE, AND TO SUPPORT THE REFORMS TAKING PLACE IN
EASTERN EUROPE.
- 5 -
AND ABOVE ALL, AS A VALUED ALLY .. A PARTNER THAT
UNDERSTANDS THE VITAL ROLE OUR ALLIANCE OF FREE NATIONS
WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY IN THE NEW EUROPE NOW EMERGING.
MR. PRESIDENT, IN ADDITION TO EVENTS IN EUROPE, OUR
TALKS TODAY TOUCHED ON THE CONTINUING TRAGEDY OF
LEBANON.

AND LET ME REPEAT HERE -- PUBLICLY -- WHAT I SAID IN
OUR PRIVATE SESSION: THE UNITED STATES STANDS READY TO
DO WHATEVER IT CAN TO BRING PEACE -- LASTING PEACE --
To ALL THE PEOPLE OF LEBANON -- AND WE SUPPORT FRANCE'S
EFFORTS TO BRING US CLOSER TO THAT LONG-AWAITED DAY.
- 7 -
MR. PRESIDENT: OUR PERSONAL FRIENDSHIP -- LIKE THE
FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN AMERICA AND FRANCE -- IS MADE
STRONGER BY THE COMMON AIMS AND IDEALS ON WHICH IT
RESTS.
So LET US ALL RAISE OUR GLASSES:

To MY HOST PRESIDENT MITTERRAND, TO THE FRENCH

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: TOAST AT ST. MARTIN LUNCHEON WITH
PRESIDENT MITTERRAND
ST. MARTIN
DECEMBER 16, 1989
12:30 P.M.
I want to thank President Mitterrand for his kind words. I
am pleased that we had this opportunity to meet, and I am
delighted that my host chose this lovely island as the site of
our talks today. Between the weather we've been having in
Washington and the choppy seas off Malta, I've been looking
forward to these four hours on St. Martin all month.
We've proved today that serious work can take place in
beautiful surroundings -- and even when I feel sure the fish are
biting.
Mr. President, meetings like these are always productive --
but they take on added significance in the present time of
change. The changes sweeping Eastern Europe are challenges for
the West -- opportunities for us to encourage the emergence of a
Europe truly whole and free.
And France is at the forefront of positive change. In its
effort to find common ground, and push forward in the
conventional arms reduction talks. In the work the European
Community is doing -- under the leadership of President Jacques
Delors -- to support and encourage the reforms taking place in
2
Poland and Hungary. And above all, as a valued ally -- a partner
that understands the vital role our alliance of free nations will
continue to play in the new Europe now emerging.
Mr. President, in addition to events in Europe, our talks
today touched on the continuing tragedy of Lebanon. And let me
repeat here -- publicly -- what I said in our private session:
the United States stands ready to do whatever it can to bring
peace -- lasting peace -- to all the people of Lebanon -- and we
support France's efforts to bring us closer to that long-awaited
day.
Mr. President: our meetings today are a clear sign of the
excellent state of relations between our two nations. Our
friendship -- like the friendship between America and France --
is made stronger by the common aims and ideals on which it rests.
So let us all raise our glasses:
To my host President Mitterrand, to the French Republic --
and to the enduring friendship between the people of France and
America.
