BRAZIL: STATE DINNER TOAST \ FOREIGN MINISTRY
MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1990 \ 9:15 P.M.
MR. PRESIDENT AND MRS. [ROSANE] COLLOR. MR. VICE
PRESIDENT [ITAMAR FRANCO]. MR. PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE
[SENATOR NELSON CARNEIRO]; MR. ARCHBISHOP [DOM FREIRE
FALCAO]; MR. PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES
[DEPUTY PAES DE ANDRADA]; MR. ACTING PRESIDENT OF THE
SUPREME COURT [ALDIR PASSARINHO]; MR. MINISTER OF
FOREIGN RELATIONS, FRANCISCO REZEK [HEH-ZEK-EE];
MINISTERS OF STATE, AND MEMBERS OF THE PRESIDENT'S
CABINET; AMBASSADOR AND MRS. MELTON.
- 2 -
BARBARA SENDS HER REGARDS. BARBARA'S DOCTORS HAVE
TOLD HER TO STAY OFF AIR FORCE ONE FOR A WHILE, TO
CLEAR UP A SINUS PROBLEM. To MAKE SURE I DELIVER HER
MESSAGES OF AFFECTION AND RESPECT FOR BRAZIL AND THE
COLLOR FAMILY, I'VE BROUGHT ALONG OUR DAUGHTER DORO TO
REMIND ME.
I AM DEEPLY GRATEFUL TO ALL OF YOU HERE -- AND TO
THE PEOPLE OF BRAZIL -- FOR YOUR GRACIOUS HOSPITALITY.
- 3 -
[[ IT WON'T BE EASY TO LEAVE. IN FACT, I'M TOLD THAT
ONE AMERICAN AMBASSADOR STAYED IN YOUR COUNTRY FOR 21
YEARS. OBVIOUSLY A SMART MAN. ]]
IT WAS A GREAT HONOR FOR ME To ADDRESS YOUR
CONGRESS THIS MORNING. IT WAS A MEMORABLE MOMENT BUT
MORE THAN THAT, IT WAS AN AFFIRMATION OF THE PROUD
HERITAGE WE SHARE -- AND A REMINDER THAT WE HAVE MUCH
REASON FOR HOPE IN THE FUTURE.
T
- 4 -
OUR TWO NATIONS HAVE A GREAT DEAL IN COMMON. WE'VE
PUT OUR FAITH IN SIMILAR FORMS OF REPRESENTATIVE
GOVERNMENT -- AND WE'VE HAD AMBASSADORS IN EACH OTHER'S
CAPITALS SINCE THE EARLIEST YEARS OF THIS CENTURY. OUR
RELATIONS HAVE BEEN LONG; OUR DEVOTION TO FREEDOM,
CONSTANT: OUR COMMITMENT TO PEACE, ENDURING.
- 5 -
Now, I'M CONVINCED THAT THE TIME HAS COME TO MOVE
OUR RELATIONS TOWARD A NEW AND HIGHER PLANE -- TO
ELIMINATE THE FALSE SCHISM BETWEEN WHAT WE ONCE CALLED
THE FIRST AND THIRD WORLDS AND AS PRESIDENT COLLOR
SPEAKS OF A BRAZIL Novo, WE SHOULD ALSO SPEAK OF A NEW
WORLD DEFINED BY ITS IDEALS OF FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY AND
PROSPERITY SHARED BY ALL.
- 6 -
ALL OF US IN THE AMERICAS SHARE A COMMON ECONOMIC
AND POLITICAL VISION -- AN UNSHAKABLE BELIEF THAT
EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENTS ARE POSSIBLE WHEN THE
IMAGINATION AND INDUSTRY OF THE INDIVIDUAL IS
UNLEASHED. I BELIEVE WE HAVE JUST BEGUN TO TAP THE
TRUE POTENTIAL OF THE AMERICAS. IT IS WITHIN OUR POWER
TO BRING A NEW DAWN TO THE NEW WORLD.
- 7 -
OUR ENTERPRISE FOR THE AMERICAS INITIATIVE IS A MAJOR
STEP FORWARD -- HELPING US EXPLORE THE MANY NEW AREAS
OF OUR COMMON DESTINY IN A SPIRIT OF OPTIMISM AND HOPE
FOR ALL PEOPLES OF THE HEMISPHERE.
MR. PRESIDENT, YOU HAVE COURAGEOUSLY RESOLVED TO
MAKE PROFOUND CHANGES IN YOUR ECONOMY -- AND I BELIEVE
THOSE CHANGES WILL REAP HANDSOME BENEFITS FOR THE
PEOPLE OF BRAZIL.
- 8 -
WE HAVE A COMMON INTEREST IN EXPANDING TRADE, AND
PROTECTING IT FROM THE DAMAGE THAT PERCEIVED INEQUITIES
WOULD INFLICT ON OUR ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP. No COUNTRY
WOULD GAIN IF OUR COMMON POLICY OF AN OPEN AND FAIR
INTERNATIONAL TRADING SYSTEM ISN'T FULFILLED. WE
SHARE COMMON ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS, KNOWING THAT THE
DESTRUCTION OF IRREPLACEABLE RESOURCES, WHEREVER
THEY'RE FOUND, COMPROMISES MANKIND'S WELL-BEING
EVERYWHERE.
- 9 -
I'M CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO FIND SHARED
SOLUTIONS TO GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES.
TOGETHER, OUR OPPORTUNITIES ARE BOUNDLESS. LET US
FORGE A CLOSER AND MORE VITAL PARTNERSHIP, TO ENSURE
LASTING PROSPERITY FOR ALL OUR PEOPLE.
So, I ASK YOU TO JOIN ME IN RAISING MY CUP TO THE
HEALTH AND HAPPINESS OF THE PEOPLE OF BRAZIL, TO MY
FRIEND FERNANDO COLLOR, AND TO THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN
OUR TWO GREAT NATIONS.

Barbara sends her regards. No, our dog Millie is not having
another litter of puppies. Barbara's doctors have told her to
stay off Air Force One for a while, to clear up a sinus problem.
To make sure I deliver her messages of affection and respect for
Brazil and the Collor family, she's sent along our daughter Doro
to remind me.
I am deeply grateful to all of you here -- and to the people
of Brazil -- for your gracious hospitality.
[[ It won't be easy to leave. In fact, I'm told that one
American ambassador stayed in your country for 21 years.
Obviously a smart man. 1]
It was a great honor for me to address your Congress this
morning. It was a memorable moment but more than that, it was an
affirmation of the proud heritage we share -- and a reminder that
we have much reason for hope in the future.
2
Our two nations have a great deal in common. We've put our
faith in similar forms of representative government -- and we've
had ambassadors in each other's capitals since the earliest years
of this century. Our relations have been long; our devotion to
freedom, constant; our commitment to peace, enduring.
Now, I'm convinced that the time has come to move our
relations toward a new and higher plane -- to eliminate the false
schism between what we once called the First and Third Worlds and
to speak of a New World defined by its ideals of freedom,
democracy and prosperity shared by all.
All of us in the Americas share a common economic and
political vision -- an unshakable belief that extraordinary
achievements are possible when the imagination and industry of
the individual is unleashed. I believe we have just begun to tap
the true potential of the Americas. It is within our power to
bring a new dawn to the New World. Our Enterprise for the
Americas Initiative is a major step forward -- helping us explore
the many new areas of our common destiny in a spirit of optimism
and hope for all peoples of the Hemisphere.
Mr. President, you have courageously resolved to make
profound changes in your economy -- and I believe those changes
will reap handsome benefits for the people of Brazil.
We have a common interest in expanding trade, and protecting
it from the damage that perceived inequities would inflict on our
economic partnership. No country would gain if our common policy
of an open and fair international trading system isn't fulfilled.
3
We share common environmental concerns, knowing that the
destruction of irreplaceable resources, wherever they're found,
compromises mankind's well-being everywhere. I'm confident that
we will continue to find shared solutions to global environmental
challenges.
On these issues, and across the range of concerns we share,
I believe my visit will open new opportunities for cooperation in
the Americas. Our nations have abundant natural resources, and
our peoples are creative, competitive, and confident.
Together, our opportunities are boundless. Let us forge a
closer and more vital partnership, to ensure lasting prosperity
for all our people.
So, I ask you to join me in raising my cup to the health and
happiness of the people of Brazil, to my friend Fernando Collor,
and to the friendship between our two great nations.

Obviously a smart man. And ambassador Melton tells me he's
planning to break that record ]]
It was a great honor for me to address your Congress this
morning. It was a memorable moment a personal privilege, of
course
but more than that, it was an affirmation of the proud
heritage we share -- and a reminder that we have much reason for
hope in the future.
Our two nations have a great deal in common. We've put our
faith in similar forms of representative government -- and we've
had ambassadors in each other's capitals since the earliest years
of this century. Our relations have been long; our devotion to
freedom, constant; our commitment to peace, enduring.

Now, I'm convinced that the time has come to move our
relations toward a new and higher plane -- to abolish the false
schism between what we once called the First and Third Worlds.
All of us in the Americas share a common economic and
political vision -- an unshakeable belief that extraordinary
achievements are possible when the imagination and industry of
the individual is unleashed. I believe we have just began to tap
the true potential of the Americas. It is within our power to
bring a new dawn to the New World.
Mr. President, you have courageously resolved to make
profound changes in your economy -- and I believe those changes
will reap handsome benefits for the people of Brazil. Your
actions. and those of other forward looking leaders in the
Americas, inspired my own government's thinking as we framed the
Enterprise for the Americas initiative.
We have a common interest in expanding trade, and protecting
it from the damage that perceived inequities would inflict on our
economic partnership. No country would gain if our common policy
of an open and fair international trading system isn't fulfilled.
We share common environmental concerns, knowing that the
destruction of irreplaceable resources, wherever they're found,
compromises mankind's well-being everywhere. I'm confident that
we will continue to find shared solutions to global environmental
challenges.
And in the common war we're waging against illegal drugs
I Lm also confident that international cooperation -- to stem both

supply and demand -- will bring the day of the dealer to a close.
On these issues, and across the range of concerns we share,
I believe my visit is only the beginning of a new era of
cooperation in the Americas. Our nations have abundant natural,
financial, and labor human resources and our peoples are creative,
competitive, and confident.
Together, our opportunities are boundless. Let us forge a
closer and more vital partnership, to ensure lasting prosperity
for all our people.
