BARBARA'S DOCTORS HAVE TOLD HER TO STAY OFF AIR FORCE ONE FOR A WHILE, TO CLEAR UP A SINUS PROBLEM.

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.

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.

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. # # # staffed (Lange/Cawley) November 28, 1990 2:30 p.m. BRAZIL state Dinner Toast [BRAZDIN.DOC] PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: TOAST, STATE DINNER FOREIGN MINISTRY MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1990 [TIME] 8:30 P.M.
