THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
April 17, 1990
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AND PRESIDENT RAFAEL CALLEJAS OF HONDURAS
UPON DEPARTURE
The South Portico
1:11 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. President and members of the Honduran
delegation, let me again thank you for coming to the White House, all
of you. We're very pleased and honored that you're here. And it's
been a great and personal pleasure to meet President Callejas in his
first official visit to Washington. We met before, but this was his
first official visit since taking over as President.
The President is a long-time friend of the United States,
dating back to his university days at Mississippi State University.
And Vice President Quayle carried our warmest regards in January when
he attended the President's historic inauguration -- the first
peaceful transfer of power to an opposition party in nearly 60 years.
And, indeed, an inspiring example of the democratic promise that
today is spreading throughout the Americas.
I remember with great fondness the natural beauty of
Honduras and the history of the Honduran people when I visited
Tegucigalpa some years ago for the inauguration of your distinguished
predecessor.
President Callejas and I shared very friendly and useful
talks today on several subjects. We both expressed our appreciation
for the stable and constructive relations shared by our two nations.
The U.S. applauds Honduras' productive role in achieving a
multilateral agreement on the peaceful demobilization and
repatriation of the Nicaraguan resistance in conditions of safety for
all concerned.
We support this process and will work to ensure
humanitarian assistance to those in need in both Nicaragua and
Honduras as they return to their homes, their families and their
jobs, and play a vital role in helping Nicaragua establish lasting
democratic institutions.
The President and I explored our mutual goals for Central
America and also for our own bilateral relationship. We agreed on
the importance of continuing our close cooperation in the struggle
against the scourge of cocaine in our hemisphere. The U.S. remains
firmly committed to helping economic development in Honduras. And we
fully support President Callejas' bold economic reforms, and we are
working together to help. arrange new financing of Honduras'
international obligations.
Mr. President, in your own inaugural address you
proclaimed that burning in the heart of the peoples of Central
America is a flame of hope and faith in the democratic path. And,
Mr. President, the people of the United States share your hope and we
share your faith. It is well-known that in Spanish the words
Honduras means "great depths." But we believe that the democratic
path of which you spoke in January will lead to great heights for
Honduras and for all of Central America.

Thank you for coming. We wish you Godspeed and success
in your continuing talks here over the next two days. Thank you,
sir.
PRESIDENT CALLEJAS: Thank you, Mr. President. Ten years
ago I came to the White House in company of a military president of
Honduras. It was the beginning of a very complicated decade for
Central America. Now, we perceive new opportunities. We have
concluded in the region by the 25th of April, the election of
democratic presidents. And we hope that this next decade will be, in
its priority, oriented to economic development and welfare.
Today, with President Bush, we have had a very cordial
and fruitful meeting. We had the opportunity to discuss frankly and
extensively bilateral and regional issues. I thank President Bush
for the support of his administration, for the efforts the Honduran
people are doing in order to advance a program of economic reform.
It is important that we quite well understand that there's no
possibility to have democracy without economic development. And on
that means the President assured us of the continued support of the
United States for Honduras to recuperate its economic difficulties.
I was very encouraged by the appreciation President Bush
has demonstrated for the measures that we have taken. We also
discussed the regional situation. We have entered a new era in
Central America. We have built upon democracy in the past decade and
now we must build an economic recovery. We have high hopes and
expectations on the new prospectus of the region. With the
assumption of power of Mrs. Chamorro in Nicaragua, a new page has
been turned in Central America. And we all will support the efforts
that the region demands and needs. This success can only be achieved
by continued support of friendly countries like the United States.
And in that regard, I hope that the United States will continue to be
close to the region in its new era.
I thank you, Mr. President, for your support and for your
commitment to continue to give Honduras a helping hand in its effort
to create a better place to live for its people. Thank you very
much, Mr. President.

"It is well known that, in
Spanish, the word 'Honduras' means 'great depths. But we
believe that the 'democratic path' of which you spoke in
January will lead to great heights for Honduras, and for
all of Central America."
This play on the meaning of "Honduras" seems a little
silly because it is an attempt to be witty without the
necessary cleverness, like making a pun on a person's
name.

It has been a great and personal pleasure to meet President
Callejas [[cah-YAY-haas]] in his first official visit to
Washington. The President is a longtime friend of the United
States, dating back to his university days in Mississippi. And
Vice President Quayle carried our warmest regards in January when
he attended President Callejas' historic Inauguration -- the
first peaceful transfer of power to an opposition party in nearly
60 years -- and an inspiring example of the democratic promise
today spreading throughout the Americas.
I remember with great fondness the natural beauty of
Honduras, and the hospitality of the Honduran people, when I
visited Tegucigalpa [[TAY-goo-see-GAL-pa] some years ago for the
inauguration of his distinguished predecessor.
President Callejas and I shared some very friendly and
useful talks today on several subjects. We both expressed our
appreciation for the stable and constructive relations shared by
our two nations.
The United States applauds Honduras' productive role in
achieving a multilateral agreement on the peaceful demobilization
and repatriation of the Nicaraguan Resistance in conditions of
2
safety for all concerned. In Honduras, the demobilization has
now been completed. We support this process and will work to
ensure humanitarian assistance to those in need in both Nicaragua
and Honduras as they return to their homes, their families and
their jobs, and play a vital role in helping to shape Nicaragua's
emerging democratic institutions.
The President and I explored our mutual goals for Central
America and for our bilateral relationship. We agreed on the
importance of continuing our close cooperation in the struggle
against the scourge of cocaine in our hemisphere. The United
States remains firmly committed to helping economic development
in Honduras, and we fully support President Callejas' bold
economic reforms. And we are working together to help arrange
new financing of Honduras' international obligations.
Mr. President, in your inaugural address you proclaimed that
"Burning in the heart of the peoples of Central America is a
flame of hope and faith in
the democratic path. " And Mr.
President, the people of the United States share your hope, we
share your faith.
It is well known that, in Spanish, the word "Honduras" means
"great depths." But we believe that the "democratic path" of
which you spoke in January will lead to great heights for
Honduras, and for all of Central America.
Thank you for coming. We wish you Godspeed, and the best of
luck in your continuing talks here over the next two days.
