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.

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. # # # (Smith/Gershowitz) June 9, 1992 WOODS 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. # # # # THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 10, 1992 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT THROUGH: DAVID DEMAREST nucr for DD FROM: ANDREW FERGUSON at SUBJECT: COLLOR TOAST On Friday, June 12, you will deliver a toast at a dinner with President Collor in Rio de Janeiro.
