BEFORE I LEAVE FOR EUROPE, I WANT TO SAY A FEW
WORDS ABOUT WHY I BELIEVE IT IS so IMPORTANT TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT I MAKE THIS TRIP.
THANKS TO THE COURAGE AND SACRIFICE OF MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS, WE HAVE WON THE COLD WAR. OUR TASK NOW IS
TO SECURE THE PEACE -- TO BUILD AN EXPANDING WORLD
ECONOMY: ONE THAT OPENS NEW MARKETS ABROAD AND CREATES
NEW JOBS HERE AT HOME.
- 2 -
OUR TASK WILL NOT BE COMPLETED ON ONE FIVE-DAY
TRIP. BUT WE CAN, AT THESE MEETINGS, ADVANCE THE WELL-
BEING OF EVERY AMERICAN. IN THE NEW GLOBAL ECONOMY NOW
EMERGING, AMERICA'S ECONOMIC INTERESTS DON'T STOP AT
THE WATER'S EDGE. WE WILL NOT PROSPER IN A WORLD
STIFLED BY TRADING BLOCS AND TARIFF BARRIERS. 70% OF
OUR ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS HAS COME
FROM EXPORTS. I WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR MORE
ECONOMIC GROWTH -- AND THAT MEANS FREE TRADE.
OUR PROGRESS so FAR HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIAL. ALREADY,
THE NEW DEMOCRACIES OF THE EAST ARE BECOMING ATTRACTIVE
SITES FOR U.S. INVESTMENT -- NEARLY $2 BILLION DOLLARS
COMMITTED THIS YEAR ALONE. AND THOSE INVESTMENTS WILL
HELP OUR NEW ALLIES SECURE DEMOCRACY'S GREAT GAINS AND
CREATE NEW JOBS FOR AMERICAN WORKERS.
THAT IS MY MISSION -- TO SECURE THESE BENEFITS FOR
AMERICA AND THE WORLD.
- 4 -
IN WARSAW, BIRTHPLACE OF THE REVOLUTION OF '89, I
WILL STAND WITH THE POLISH PEOPLE -- SHOW OUR SUPPORT
FOR THEIR EFFORTS TO CONSOLIDATE THEIR HARD-WON
FREEDOM.
IN MUNICH, I WILL WORK WITH LEADERS OF THE WORLD'S
GREAT INDUSTRIALIZED DEMOCRACIES TO BUILD A NEW WORLD
ECONOMY.
- 5 -
I WILL ALSO MEET WITH PRESIDENT YELTSIN -- TO BUILD
ON THE HISTORIC STEPS WE TOOK HERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE,
AND TO UNDERSCORE OUR STRONG SUPPORT FOR RUSSIA'S
REFORMS. AND ON THIS ONE THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT: AN
INVESTMENT IN RUSSIAN DEMOCRACY IS AN INVESTMENT IN
WORLD PEACE.
- 6 -
FINALLY, IN HELSINKI I WILL MEET FOR THE FIRST TIME
WITH THE MEMBERS OF A CSCE NOT DIVIDED EAST FROM WEST
-- BUT UNITED IN A DEMOCRATIC COMMUNITY OF MORE THAN
FIFTY NATIONS.
LET ME ADD ONE POINT, ON THE EVE OF THE FOURTH OF
JULY: WE MUST NEVER FORGET THAT IN EUROPE TODAY REST
20 AMERICAN MILITARY CEMETERIES. AND WE MUST ENSURE
THAT THERE WILL NEVER BE A 21st.
- 7 -
Look AT HOW FAR WE'VE ALREADY COME. WHEN I TOOK
OFFICE THREE YEARS AGO, ADVERSARIES FACED US ACROSS A
DIVIDED EUROPE. TODAY, THE NEW DEMOCRACIES OF CENTRAL
AND EASTERN EUROPE ARE OUR PARTNERS. THE THREAT OF
NUCLEAR WAR IS MORE DISTANT NOW THAN AT ANY TIME SINCE
THE ADVENT OF THE NUCLEAR AGE. AND THINK OF WHAT THAT
MEANS -- NOT FOR PRESIDENTS OR PRIME MINISTERS, NOT FOR
HISTORIANS OR HEADS OF STATE -- BUT FOR PARENTS, AND
THEIR CHILDREN: IT MEANS A FUTURE FREE FROM FEAR.
- 8 -
FOR MUCH OF THIS CENTURY IT HAS BEEN AMERICA'S
DESTINY TO STAND FOR LIBERTY AND AGAINST INTOLERANCE;
TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM AND AGAINST OPPRESSION. Now, AT
LONG LAST, THE MOMENT HAS COME FOR THE LOVERS OF
FREEDOM AROUND THE WORLD TO REAP THE REWARDS OF OUR
VIGILANCE.

THE OPPORTUNITY WE FACE IS HISTORIC -- THE FIRST
CHANCE IN MORE THAN A HALF-CENTURY TO BUILD DEMOCRATIC
PEACE AND PROSPERITY FOR AMERICA AND THE WORLD. THIS

Before leaving for Europe, I want to say a few words about

people.
Because of the courage and sacrifice at
millions of Americans,
We have won the Cold War: this trip is about securing the
peace. And it is about building an expanding world economy that
can insure new markets abroad and new jobs at home.
These tasks will not be completed on one five-day trip. The
meetings I attend will not all be exciting, headline-producing
events, for the process of building peace and prosperity is
serious and laborious. But this work is vital to the well-

opening up. All these are tangible benefits for our security and
our prosperity.
This trip is about extending and securing those benefits.
It is about peace, freedom, and prosperity -- America's business.
In Warsaw, where I saw the democratic revolution begin three
years ago, I want to show the Poles our support and encourage
them to continue their courageous reforms and consolidate their
hard-won freedom. They and others in central Europe were the
pioneers; they can show the way to all those trying to escape
Communism's shadow. They must succeed.

prosperity here at home and around the world. And we will also
meet with President Yeltsin to answer his offer of friendship by
extending our support to Russia's reforms -- an investment in
Russian democracy that it also an investment in our own future.
In Helsinki, the leaders of North America, Europe, and the
former Soviet Union will meet for this first time as a democratic
community of more than fifty countries. We will take new steps
toward building a peaceful European order, in which conflicts are
solved before they turn violent and the military forces of East
and West can be deployed together in peacekeeping missions.
Our goal is to secure a permanent peace in an area beset in
this century by confrontation and conflict. We can achieve that
goal only through our commitment, involvement, and leadership.
America cannot prosper in a world of turmoil, violence, or
closed trading blocs. But we can give a strong boost to our own
economic resurgence by securing a democratic peace and a vibrant,
open world economy.
We may not have another opportunity like this to establish a
democratic peace in the world, and we must seize it. This trip
will not solve all the problems before us, but it can bring us a
step closer toward our goal, laying the groundwork for what we
can achieve in the years ahead for our country and the world.

Opening Remarks for July 2 Press Conference
Before leaving for Europe, I want to say a few words about
why I am making this trip and what it means to the American
people.
We have won the Cold War; this trip is about securing the
peace. And it is about building an expanding world economy that
can insure new markets abroad and new jobs at home.
These tasks will not be completed on one five-day trip. The
meetings I attend will not all be exciting, headline-producing
events, for the process of building peace and prosperity is
serious and laborious. But this work is vital to the well-
being of every American.
There are some who would say that with the Cold War won, we
should turn inward and get on with our domestic business. To
them I would answer: this is domestic business
And I would remind them that there are now fewer than 20
American military cemeteries in Europe. I am working to insure
that there never has to be a 21st. This is America's business.
Our country is interconnected more than we sometimes realize
with the outside world. 70% of our economic growth in the last
five years came from exports. Our security and prosperity rises
or falls with that of our friends and allies.
We have made great progress. The democratic revolutions of
