COLLOR TOAST \ FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1992 \ RIO DE JANEIRO
PRESIDENT AND MRS. COLLOR AND DISTINGUISHED GUESTS:
I RISE TO SALUTE OUR HOST -- HOST FOR THIS
WONDERFUL DINNER; HOST TO THIS GRAND CONFERENCE.
THE WORLD HAS SEEN OVER THE PAST TEN DAYS A
STIRRING EXAMPLE NOT ONLY OF BRAZILIAN HOSPITALITY BUT
ALSO OF BRAZILIAN LEADERSHIP. MR. PRESIDENT, YOU HAVE
TAKEN UPON YOURSELF A TASK OF ENORMOUS COMPLEXITY AND
TREMENDOUS IMPORTANCE -- A TASK ANY DIPLOMAT WOULD FIND
DAUNTING. AND YOU HAVE PERFORMED THAT TASK WITH A
SKILL AND ENERGY ANY DIPLOMAT WOULD ADMIRE.
- 2 -
HERE IN RIO YOU HAVE DRAWN TOGETHER THE LEADERS OF
170 NATIONS AND UNITED THEM IN A SINGLE PURPOSE. WE
ALL RECOGNIZE THAT THE ENVIRONMENT IS A CONCERN NOT OF
ONE NATION BUT OF ALL NATIONS. DIFFERENCES REMAIN, OF
COURSE -- BUT THEY ARE NOTHING COMPARED WITH THE
DETERMINATION EACH OF US SHARES TO LEAVE OUR PLANET A
HEALTHIER, MORE FRUITFUL HOME FOR THE GENERATIONS WHO
FOLLOW US.
- 3 -
YOUR LEADERSHIP HERE HAS ALREADY PRODUCED
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FOR BRAZIL AND FOR THE WORLD. AT
HOME YOU HAVE LED YOUR COUNTRY IN A NEW DIRECTION,
DESIGNED TO LIBERATE THE ENERGIES AND INITIATIVE OF
YOUR PEOPLE WITH A PROGRAM OF PROFOUND ECONOMIC REFORM.
INTERNATIONALLY, THE WORLD HAS BENEFITED FROM YOUR
COURAGE AND LEADERSHIP AS WELL -- FROM EXPANDING OPEN
TRADE AMONG NATIONS, TO LIMITING THE PROLIFERATION OF
NUCLEAR ARSENALS.
- 4 -
IT IS A RECORD OF WHICH BOTH YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE
SHOULD BE PROUD. AND IT HAS PERFECTLY SUITED YOU FOR
THE GREAT WORK OF THIS CONFERENCE. I RAISE A GLASS,
THEN, TO THE MANY BENEFITS YOUR LEADERSHIP HAS BROUGHT
BRAZIL AND THE ENTIRE FAMILY OF NATIONS, AND TO THE
CONTINUED CLOSE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN BRAZIL AND THE
UNITED STATES.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: KOREA WAR MEMORIAL
ASH WOODS
SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 1992
2:30 P.M.
[[ACKOWLEDGMENTS] ]. We meet today on a special day: Flag
Day, and the day of the U.S. Army's founding. And on a special
occasion: To break ground for a memorial to those whose courage
now lives as history -- passed from one generation to another. /
Some may think of this as a war memorial -- but it is really
a memorial to the peace America has always fought for. / I was
Vice-President when Ronald Reagan signed legislation authorizing
the creation of a national Korean War Veterans Memorial. Today,
as President, I am proud to help honor America's peace-makers who
served during the Korean War. /
America's uniformed sons and daughters went to Korea not for
themselves alone. Hating war, they sought only liberty. They
fought so that those enslaved might be free. / They fought at
Inchon and Heartbreak Ridge / Pork Chop Hill and Taejon (TIE
jon). They fought on the sea / in the air / and in the gulleys
and the hills. //
To Korea's 5.7 million veterans, a grateful Nation thanks
you. / For what you did -- for stopping totalitarianism -- the
entire Free World salutes you. / To those who would forget how
Korea was an American victory too seldom understood, our response
is: No more. Today, we remember. //
2
We remember, first, how America's finest took up arms, and
bore our burden, for a cause larger than ourselves. / Among them
was Lt. Colonel John Page, then 46, at home in New Orleans with
his wife and kids. He became one of the 54,246 Americans who
gave their lives / the more than 103,000 wounded / the over 8,000
still missing or unaccounted for. [[Let me put it plain: Though
many MIAs have returned to America in the past year -- we will
not rest until ALL of your buddies have come home. ]] //
Men like John Page did the hard work of freedom. Seeking
the enemy position, he asked to ride in a two-seat observer
plane. / Once in the air, he told the pilot to fly low over
their encampment. Speechless, the pilot watched as Page pulled
pins from three grenades, leaned out of the cockpit, and dropped
them on the enemy positions. / Later, he bombed foxholes with
grenades / climbed aboard a tank and fired machine gun bursts
which forced the enemy to flee / then, finally, led a rush which
destroyed an enemy road block and made three dozen of the enemy
retreat. //
John Page did all this in his first 12 days of combat --
which were his last 12 days on earth. // His last reported words
were to a comrade: "Get back! That's an order! I'll cover
you. / The Marine Corps named this Army man a recipient of the
Navy Cross. America gave him the Medal of Honor. He showed how
greatness touched all those who went to this unknown land, amid
the shroud of darkness, to illuminate the night. //
3
Here in God's light amid the woods, we recall -- as proved
in Korea and again in the Persian Gulf -- that together, Allies
could contain tyranny by combining strength. / Fighting side-
by-side under the flag of the United Nations, freedom-loving
countries of the United States, the Republic of Korea, and other
allies strove to halt aggression. Did we succeed? Did we ever.
We built a stable peace that has lasted nearly 40 years.
Together, we held the line. //
Eighth U.S. Army helped hold the line. After the 1950 North
Korean assault, EUSA acted to save Korea. / First Marine
Division helped hold the line. With other forces, it won a great
victory over enemy forces at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. /
Task Force Smith -- the first U.S. unit to fight in Korea -- it,
too, helped hold the line. So did men named Van Fleet, Ridgeway,
and MacArthur / the members of Congress who served in Korea / and
veterans like James Garner and Neil Armstrong. /
These Americans sought the highest cause in the community of
God, and man -- a world where the force of law outlasted the use
of force. / So did other parties I want to thank. For instance,
sponsors like the American Battle Monuments Commission, chaired
by General P.X. Kelly, and the Korean War Memorial Advisory
Board. Then, there is Ray Davis, and Max Jameison, whose company
donated $1 million to the memorial: Let me note that every penny
of its funding has been privately financed. / Thanks, too, to
the designers of the memorial's unforgettable silhouette. /
4
Finally, let me salute the foot soldiers you see in this
memorial -- whose memory we take with us / whose nobility
enriches us. / I mean the men and women who braved heat and
cold, lack of sleep and food, and the human hell of fire -- who
were rich and poor, black and white, red and brown and yellow. /
The soldiers I speak of were young / afraid / and far from home.
Yet in the foxholes / in the foothills / across the rugged, snow-
covered ridges / they were selfless / fearless. Most of all,
they were Americans. //
Look at this site here, in Ash Woods, a quiet grove of trees
near the Lincoln Memorial. Recall how it endures as testimony to
the living and the dead. / When tyranny threatened, you were
quick to answer your country's call. Sadly, your country was not
as quick to answer your call for recognition of that sacrifice. /
Today, we say: The length of time it has taken for this day to
arrive only adds to the depth of our gratitude. //
The Korean War showed that ours would not be the land of the
free if it were not also the home of the brave. / In that spirit
-- with eternal love for what you did, and what you are -- it is
now my privilege to break ground on behalf of every American for
the Korean War Veterans Memorial. / God bless you, and the most
wondrous land on earth -- the United States of America.

FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1992
RIO DE JANEIRO
President and Mrs. Collor and distinguished guests:
I rise to salute our host -- host for this wonderful dinner;
host to this grand conference.
The world has seen over the past ten days a stirring example
not only of Brazilian hospitality but also of Brazilian
leadership. Mr. President, you have taken upon yourself a task
of enormous complexity and tremendous importance -- a task any
diplomat would find daunting. And you have performed that task
with a skill and energy any diplomat would admire.
Here in Rio you have drawn together the leaders of 170
nations and united them in a single purpose. We all recognize
that the environment is a concern not of one nation but of all
nations. Differences remain, of course -- but they are nothing
compared with the determination each of us shares to leave our
planet a healthier, more fruitful home for the generations who
follow us.
Your leadership here has already produced significant
changes for Brazil and for the world. At home you have led your
country onto a new path of prosperity, to liberate the energies
and initiative of your people with a program of profound economic
reform.
Internationally, the world has benefited from your courage
and leadership as well -- from expanding open trade among
nations, to limiting the proliferation of nuclear arsenals.
It is a record of which both you and your people should be
proud. And it has perfectly suited you for the great work of
this conference. I raise a glass, then, to the many benefits
your leadership has brought Brazil and the entire family of
nations, and to the continued close friendship between Brazil and
the United States.
