Thank you for those kind words. Barbara and I have been looking forward to returning to Sydney since our last visit in 1982. As we look around, we realize everything is just as we remember it -- bright sunshine, bustling city streets, glistening water, and, of course, a warm-hearted Aussie welcome. Let me say how much we truly appreciate all Premier Grenier and the state government of New South Wales have done to make our visit so pleasant. As we were casting-off from the Man-O-War Steps, I was struck by the history in this harbor. The legendary discoverer Capt. Arthur Phillip -- with understandable pride -- called this "the finest harbor in the world". Stirred by the beauty of pink eucalyptus and rocky shores, one remembers // early settlers // enterprising Mariners // Australia's brave solders who kept this view of home locked in their memories and travellers from all countries who find a welcome in New South Wales. As New South Wales begins a year-long 150th birthday celebration -- the "Sydney Sesqui" -- your world-renowned reputation for hospitality continues to grow. Nearly 150 years ago the first official U.S. Government representation in Australia was established right here in Sydney. Given the longstanding ties that exist between Americans and the people of New South Wales, it seemed only logical that Barbara and I begin our tour of the Pacific region here. But what links us isn't just history. We share a future. American and Australian firms are learning to do business as genuinely global companies. We need a strong competitive effort to succeed in the Asia Pacific region. America and Australia can work together -- as we have in APEC -- to garner results that build on the best from both countries. Just as "the Coat Hanger" huh? joins two shores, our joint business enterprises can bridge the many miles that separate our two countries. International trade comes as nothing new for the citizens of Sydney and New South Wales. Australia is an important site for U.S. investors -- and in return many states within the United States are important to Australian investors. I am proud of the strength of Australian-American relations on the state level. There, at the state level is where we will reap the most benefits -- in terms of generating revenue, creating jobs, and pioneering solutions to social and environmental problems. We should build on dynamic new ventures like the Business Development Agreement - - concluded earlier this year between New South Wales and the State of Colorado. We must also encourage more ties between states through sister-city relationships like the one that links Sydney and San Francisco. Enough business, though -- after all this is a holiday. Premier Grenier, once again thank you. And to all of the people of Australia: Happy, healthy New Year. God bless you all.

Martin\Nix Dec. 20, 1991 HARBOR TWO PROPOSED PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: LUNCHEON CRUISE SYDNEY HARBOR WEDNESDAY, JAN. 1, 1992 12:55 P.M. Thank you for those kind words. Barbara and I have been looking forward to returning to Sydney since our last visit in 1982. As we look around, we realize everything is just as we remember it -- bright sunshine, bustling city streets, glistening water, and, of course, warm-hearted Aussies. Let me say how much we truly appreciate all Premier Grenier and the state government of New South Wales have done to make our visit so pleasant. As we were casting-off from the Man-O-War Steps, I was struck by the history in this harbor. The legendary discoverer Capt. Arthur Phillip -- with understandable pride -- called this "the finest harbor in the world". The beauty of pink eucalyptus and rocky shores inspired // early settlers // enterprising Mariners // and Australia's brave solders who kept this view of home locked in their memories. Today it welcomes travellers from all countries to New South Wales. As New South Wales begins a year-long 150th birthday celebration -- the "Sydney Sesqui" -- your world-renowned reputation for hospitality continues to grow. Nearly 150 years ago the first official U.S. Government representation in Australia was established right here in Sydney. Given the longstanding ties that exist between Americans and the people of New South Wales, it seemed only logical that Barbara and I begin our tour of the Pacific region here. But what links us isn't just history. We share a future. American and Australian companies are learning to do business as genuinely global companies. We need a strong competitive effort to succeed in the Asia Pacific region. America and Australia can work together -- as we have in APEC -- to garner results that build on the best from both countries. Just as "the Coat Hanger" joins two shores, our joint business enterprises can bridge the many miles that separate our two countries. International trade comes as nothing new for the citizens of Sydney and New South Wales. Australia is an important site for U.S. investors -- and in return many states within the United States are important to Australian investors. I am proud of the strength of Australian-American relations on the state level. There, at the state level is where we will reap the most benefits -- in terms of generating revenue, creating jobs, and pioneering solutions to social and environmental problems. We should build dynamic new ventures between states on both continents. We must also encourage more ties between states through sister-city relationships like the one that links Sydney and San Francisco. Enough business, though -- after all this is a holiday. Premier Grenier, once again thank you. And to all of the people of Australia: Happy, healthy New Year.

SUMMARY On Wednesday, January 1, 1992, at 12:55 p.m., you will deliver toast remarks aboard the John Cadman III. The audience (approximately 150 people) will included business leaders and dignitaries from New South Wales. You will be introduced by Premier Nick Grenier. II. DISCUSSION Your remarks (4 minutes, on cards) recognize Sydney's 150th birthday celebration as well as our longstanding alliance with New South Wales. Martin\Nix Dec. 20, 1991 HARBOR TWO PROPOSED PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: LUNCHEON CRUISE SYDNEY HARBOR WEDNESDAY, JAN. 1, 1992 12:55 P.M. Thank you for those kind words. Barbara and I have been looking forward to returning to Sydney since our last visit in 1982. As we look around, we realize everything is just as we remember it -- bright sunshine, bustling city streets, glistening water, and, of course, warm-hearted Aussies. Let me say how much we truly appreciate all Premier Grenier and the state government of New South Wales have done to make our visit so pleasant. As we were casting-off from the Man-O-War Steps, I was struck by the history in this harbor. The legendary discoverer Capt. Arthur Phillip -- with understandable pride -- called this "the finest harbor in the world". The beauty of pink eucalyptus and rocky shores inspired // early settlers // enterprising Mariners // and Australia's brave solders who kept this view of home locked in their memories. Today it welcomes travellers from all countries to New South Wales. As New South Wales begins a year-long 150th birthday celebration -- the "Sydney Sesqui" -- your world-renowned reputation for hospitality continues to grow. Nearly 150 years ago the first official U.S. Government representation in Australia was established right here in Sydney. Given the longstanding ties that exist between Americans and the people of New South Wales, it seemed only logical that Barbara and I begin our tour of the Pacific region here. But what links us isn't just history. We share a future. American and Australian companies are learning to do business as genuinely global companies. We need a strong competitive effort to succeed in the Asia Pacific region. America and Australia can work together -- as we have in APEC -- to garner results that build on the best from both countries. Just as "the Coat Hanger" joins two shores, our joint business enterprises can bridge the many miles that separate our two countries. International trade comes as nothing new for the citizens of Sydney and New South Wales. Australia is an important site for U.S. investors -- and in return many states within the United States are important to Australian investors. I am proud of the strength of Australian-American relations on the state level. There, at the state level is where we will reap the most benefits -- in terms of generating revenue, creating jobs, and pioneering solutions to social and environmental problems. We should build dynamic new ventures between states on both continents. We must also encourage more ties between states through sister-city relationships like the one that links Sydney and San Francisco. Enough business, though -- after all this is a holiday. Premier Grenier, once again thank you. And to all of the people of Australia: Happy, healthy New Year. God bless you all. # # # LUNCHEON CRUISE \ SYDNEY HARBOR WEDNESDAY, JAN. 1, 1992 \ 12:55 P.M.

Martin\Nix Dec. 20, 1991 HARBOR TWO PROPOSED PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: LUNCHEON CRUISE SYDNEY HARBOR WEDNESDAY, JAN. 1, 1992 12:55 P.M. Thank you for those kind words. Barbara and I have been looking forward to returning to Sydney since our last visit in 1982. As we look around, we realize everything is just as we remember it -- bright sunshine, bustling city streets, glistening water, and, of course, warm-hearted Aussies. Let me say how much we truly appreciate all Premier Grenier and the state government of New South Wales have done to make our visit so pleasant. As we were casting-off from the Man-O-War Steps, I was struck by the history in this harbor. The legendary discoverer Capt. Arthur Phillip -- with understandable pride -- called this "the finest harbor in the world". The beauty of pink eucalyptus and rocky shores inspired // early settlers // enterprising Mariners // and Australia's brave solders who kept this view of home locked in their memories. Today it welcomes travellers from all countries to New South Wales. As New South Wales begins a year-long 150th birthday celebration -- the "Sydney Sesqui" -- your world-renowned reputation for hospitality continues to grow. Nearly 150 years ago the first official U.S. Government representation in Australia was established right here in Sydney. Given the longstanding ties that exist between Americans and the people of New South Wales, it seemed only logical that Barbara and I begin our tour of the Pacific region here. But what links us isn't just history. We share a future. American and Australian companies are learning to do business as genuinely global companies. We need a strong competitive effort to succeed in the Asia Pacific region. America and Australia can work together -- as we have in APEC -- to garner results that build on the best from both countries. Just as "the Coat Hanger" joins two shores, our joint business enterprises can bridge the many miles that separate our two countries. International trade comes as nothing new for the citizens of Sydney and New South Wales. Australia is an important site for U.S. investors -- and in return many states within the United States are important to Australian investors. I am proud of the strength of Australian-American relations on the state level. There, at the state level is where we will reap the most benefits -- in terms of generating revenue, creating jobs, and pioneering solutions to social and environmental problems. We should build dynamic new ventures between states on both continents. We must also encourage more ties between states through sister-city relationships like the one that links Sydney and San Francisco. Enough business, though -- after all this is a holiday. Premier Grenier, once again thank you. And to all of the people of Australia: Happy, healthy New Year. God bless you all. # # # THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON 31 DEC 20 p4: 12 December 20, 1991 MEMORANDUM FOR TONY SNOW FROM: ROGER B.

RADEMAKER SR ASSOCIATE COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT SUBJECT: Presidential Remarks: Luncheon Cruise, Sydney Harbor -- Wednesday, January 1, 1992 Pursuant to Phillip Brady's request, Counsel's Office has reviewed the above-referenced matter. We have no objection to the proposed remarks, provided the sentence endorsing the Business Development Agreement between Colorado and New South Wales is deleted. Article I, section 10, paragraph 3 of the Constitution states "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a Foreign Power " To the best of our knowledge, Congress has not expressed its consent to the Business Development Agreement. Accordingly, the Agreement is constitutionally suspect, and the President should not endorse it or any similar agreement between U.S. states and foreign governments. cc: Phillip D.
