REMARKS: SALINAS TOAST
STATE DINING ROOM
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1989
PRESIDENT AND MRS. SALINAS, HONORED GUESTS, LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN.
IT IS INDEED A PRIVILEGE FOR BARBARA AND ME TO
WELCOME YOU TO THE WHITE HOUSE. YOUR COUNTRY HAS OFTEN
EXTENDED TO US THAT KINDNESS FOR WHICH MEXICO IS
FAMOUS. TONIGHT, WE ARE HONORED TO HAVE YOU HERE.
- 2 -
MR. PRESIDENT, WE FIRST MET LAST NOVEMBER IN
HOUSTON, TEXAS. WE MET, IF I MIGHT ADD THIS PERSONAL
NOTE, THE DAY AFTER YOUR HARVARD FOOTBALL CRIMSON FELL
TO THE MIGHTY MEN OF YALE -- SORRY ABOUT THAT.
WE HAVE LEARNED ANEW HOW SPECIAL THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES CAN BE. THIS
RELATIONSHIP WHICH HAS BEEN, AND CONTINUES TO BE, BOUND
BY so MANY TIES. WE HAVE BECOME GOOD FRIENDS.
- 3 -
THOSE TIES INCLUDE OUR 2,000-MILE BORDER, AND
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TRADE. THEY ARE EDUCATIONAL,
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC. OUR TIES REST ON RESPECT AND
MATURITY, COMMUNICATION AND CONSULTATION. AND THE
VALUES THAT WE CHERISH AND WHICH LINK OUR CULTURES --
VALUES OF FAITH, FAMILY, AND RESPECT FOR TRADITION.
As A YOUNG MAN, MR. PRESIDENT, YOU STUDIED IN THE
UNITED STATES. You KNOW US WELL, AND CAME TO
UNDERSTAND OUR TIES.
- 4 -
I, Too, REVERE THEM. FOR AS A TEXAN, I'VE LIVED MANY
YEARS SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH MEXICO AND KNOW AND APPRECIATE
YOUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY AND ITS WONDERFUL PEOPLE.
SUCH UNDERSTANDING LEADS TO TRUST. AND SUCH TRUST
CAN LEAD TO PROGRESS. "SPEAKING OF TRUST" -- I TRUST
YOU HAVE DRIED OUT FROM THAT GOLF CART TOUR OF CAMP
DAVID. THERE WAS A TRUE DOWNPOUR UP THERE, BUT I WAS
ANXIOUS FOR PRESIDENT SALINAS TO LOOK AROUND; so HE AND
I SET OUT IN A GOLF CART IN THIS DRIVING RAIN.
- 5 -
BARBARA WAS CONVINCED THAT I HAD JUST DEALT A SEVERE
BLOW TO MEXICAN-U.S. RELATIONS. IT IS THIS "TRUST" I'M
SPEAKING OF."
FOR FROM ITS EARLIEST DAYS, YOUR ADMINISTRATION HAS
ACTED AS OUR NEIGHBOR, AND EQUAL PARTNER. AND KNOWN
THAT BY APPLYING OUR RESOURCES TO COMMON PROBLEMS, WE
CAN ENSURE A RICHER LIFE FOR ALL. Now, LET US DO MORE.
LET US INCREASE BILATERAL TRADE AND ACHIEVE
ECONOMIC GROWTH.
- 6 -
LET US EXPAND COOPERATION AND ENHANCE INVESTMENT
OPPORTUNITY. AND LET US SUPPORT DEMOCRACY IN OUR
HEMISPHERE -- AND, THUS, REGIONAL SECURITY AND
STABILITY. WE MUST ALSO REAFFIRM OUR COMMITMENT TO
COMBATING NARCOTICS THAT IS BOTH A NATIONAL PRIORITY
AND A HEMISPHERIC CRUSADE. FOR UNLESS WE DEFEAT DRUG
USE AND TRAFFICKING, WE WILL HELP ROB OUR CHILDREN OF
THEIR DREAMS.
- 7 -
THERE IS AN ANCIENT PROVERB WHICH GOES, "[GoD]
GUIDES WHOM HE WILLS TO A STRAIGHT PATH. " MR.
PRESIDENT, LET OUR PATH BE STRAIGHT AND TRUE.
AFFIRMING ALL THAT WHICH UNITES US. AND so ENRICH THIS
GENERATION -- AND ALL THE GENERATIONS TO COME.
IN THAT SPIRIT, I ASK ALL OF OUR GUESTS TONIGHT TO
RISE AND RAISE THEIR GLASSES:
- 8 -
-- To MEXICAN-AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP;
-- To A BETTER WORLD FOR OUR CHILDREN, AND ALL
CHILDREN;
-- AND TO THE HEALTH AND HAPPINESS OF MY FRIEND
AND COLLEAGUE, THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO.

REMARKS:
MEXICAN AGREEMENTS
DIPLOMATIC ENTRANCE
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1989
10:45 AM
THE TWO AGREEMENTS JUST SIGNED ARE SYMBOLIC OF THE
BREADTH AND EVER-GROWING CLOSENESS OF UNITED STATES-
MEXICAN TIES. THEY PROVE THAT THE SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN OUR COUNTRIES HAS NEVER BEEN STRONGER.
- 2 -
I WELCOME THESE AGREEMENTS AS A SIGNAL OF THE
COMMITMENT OF OUR TWO GOVERNMENTS -- AND OF PRESIDENT
SALINAS AND MYSELF -- TO MAKE PROGRESS OVER A WIDE
VARIETY OF ISSUES. PROGRESS THAT BEFITS OLD FRIENDS.
FOR THAT IS WHAT OUR NATIONS HAVE BEEN, AND ARE. AND
WHICH BEFITS NEIGHBORS AND EQUAL PARTNERS. FOR THAT IS
WHAT WE ARE, AND SHALL REMAIN.
- 3 -
THE UNDERSTANDING REGARDING TRADE AND INVESTMENT
FACILITATION TALKS, FOR INSTANCE, MOVES BEYOND THE
CONSULTATION ENCOURAGED BY OUR FRAMEWORK UNDERSTANDING
ON TRADE TO CREATE A MANDATE FOR NEGOTIATION. BY
TAKING THE INITIATIVE, WE WILL PROMOTE THE INCREASED
TRADE AND INVESTMENT THAT CAN BENEFIT BOTH SIDES OF THE
BORDER.
- 4 -
THE AGREEMENT ON THE PROTECTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF
THE ENVIRONMENT OF MEXICO CITY IS ALSO SIGNIFICANT.
FOR IT COMMITS OUR GOVERNMENTS To JOINTLY FIND WAYS TO
RESOLVE AIR AND OTHER POLLUTION PROBLEMS IN ONE OF THE
LARGEST CITIES IN THE WORLD.
- 5 -
IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR PEOPLE IS A
PRIORITY OF BOTH OUR GOVERNMENTS AND WE WELCOME THE
PERSONAL COMMITMENT TO THIS MATTER BY PRESIDENT
SALINAS. So IS FINDING BALANCED RESPONSES TO OUR
SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL NEEDS. THIS AGREEMENT CONFRONTS
THOSE NEEDS.
- 6 -
THESE TWO AGREEMENTS, AND OTHERS THAT WILL BE
SIGNED THIS AFTERNOON, AS WELL AS OUR JOINT EFFORTS TO
FASHION A PLAN FOR ADDRESSING MEXICO'S EXTERNAL DEBT
ARE CONCRETE EXAMPLES OF HOW OUR ADMINISTRATIONS HAVE
WORKED CLOSELY TOGETHER DURING THE LAST TEN MONTHS.
THESE AGREEMENTS SPRING FROM TEAMWORK. AND SHOW WHAT
CAN, AND MUST, BE DONE TO MAKE RELATIONS BETWEEN OUR
TWO GREAT NATIONS EVEN CLOSER THAN THEY ARE TODAY.
- 7 -
THIS, MR. PRESIDENT, IS OUR CHALLENGE. I HAVE NO
DOUBT WE WILL MEET IT. MEET IT THROUGH COMMON EFFORTS.
AND COMMON BONDS -- COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL, FAMILY,
HISTORICAL, AND CULTURAL. MEET IT THROUGH WHAT IS
PERHAPS YOUR VISIT'S GREATEST GIFT -- THE FREE, OPEN,
AND ONGOING DIALOGUE YOU OFFER US WITH THE MEXICAN
GOVERNMENT AND THE MEXICAN PEOPLE.
- 8 -
LET US PLEDGE TO MAKE OURS THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE
OFFERED HAND AND OPEN HEART. AND LET US PLEDGE THAT
THESE AGREEMENTS WILL BE THE FORERUNNER OF AN EVEN
GREATER UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN OUR COUNTRIES.
- 9 -
AND LET ME CLOSE WITH THESE WORDS OF THE GREAT MEXICAN
PHILOSOPHER, ALFONSO REYES [RAY-Es], BORN 100 YEARS
AGO. "LET US GO FORWARD TOGETHER," HE SAID. "TOGETHER
IN OUR EFFORTS
TOGETHER IN FRIENDSHIP AND
AFFECTION EVER TOGETHER. "

REMARKS: SALINAS ARRIVAL
SOUTH LAWN
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1989
10:00 AM
PRESIDENT SALINAS AND MRS. SALINAS, SECRETARIES
SOLANA AND BAKER, AMBASSADORS PETRICIOLO [PEH TRAH CHO
LEE] AND NEGROPONTE, [NEHGRO POHN TAY] MEMBERS OF THE
DELEGATION AND FRIENDS.
LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO, WE MET IN HOUSTON, TEXAS,
AS TWO PRESIDENTS-ELECT.
- 2 -
AND BEGAN TO FOCUS ON WHAT, FOR EACH OF US, IS A MAJOR
PRESIDENTIAL RESPONSIBILITY -- DEFINING AND ENHANCING
THE MEXICAN-U.S. RELATIONSHIP.
MR. PRESIDENT, YOU AND I WENT To HOUSTON CERTAIN OF
THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR RESPONSIBILITIES. FOR OURS IS
ONE OF THE WORLD'S BROADEST AND MOST COMPLEX BILATERAL
RELATIONSHIPS. BUT I THINK THAT FEW COULD HAVE
ENVISIONED THE DEGREE OF SUCCESS THAT OUR TALKS WOULD
HAVE.
- 3 -
THAT SUCCESS WAS EMBODIED BY WHAT HAS COME TO BE
KNOWN AS "THE SPIRIT OF HOUSTON" -- OUR JOINT
COMMITMENT TO CREATE A FRAMEWORK OF MUTUAL TRUST AND
UNDERSTANDING. AND IN THE PAST YEAR, THAT SPIRIT HAS
STRENGTHENED OUR MEXICAN-AMERICAN TIES.
TOGETHER, MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES HAVE WORKED
TO NEGOTIATE A SOLUTION TO THE DEBT QUESTION. AND
DEVELOP GREATER COOPERATION IN THE WAR AGAINST DRUGS.
- 4 -
TOGETHER, WE HAVE IMPROVED OPPORTUNITIES FOR BILATERAL
TRADE AND INVESTMENT. AND NURTURED OUR ENVIRONMENT.
IN SUM, FINDING NEW WAYS TO REAFFIRM OLD BONDS.
WHEN PRESIDENT SALINAS AND I MET LAST JULY IN
PARIS, THESE STEPS WERE ALREADY UNDERWAY -- STEPS
CRUCIAL TO COUNTRIES WITH SUCH SHARED SOCIAL, ECONOMIC,
AND REGIONAL INTERESTS.
- 5 -
Now, AS I WELCOME PRESIDENT SALINAS To OUR CAPITAL
FOR HIS FIRST STATE VISIT, I LOOK FORWARD To CONTINUED
PROGRESS. AND ADDITIONAL PROOF OF HOW MEXICO AND THE
UNITED STATES CAN WORK TOGETHER. TOWARD COMMON ENDS.
AND POSITIVE RESULTS.
THOSE ENDS ARE REFLECTED IN TODAY'S AGENDA. FOR AS
MAJOR TRADING PARTNERS, WE MUST EXPLORE WAYS TO EXPAND
OUR COMMERCE.
- 6 -
AND AS MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES,
DISCUSS HOW DEMOCRACY CAN BE RESTORED TO PANAMA AND
FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS HELD IN NICARAGUA.
THIS YEAR, WE CELEBRATE A CENTURY OF JOINT PROJECTS
BY THE INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY AND WATER COMMISSION. WE
MUST RENEW THAT COOPERATION. AND CONTINUE TO
STRENGTHEN OUR ASSAULT ON THE PLAGUE OF DRUG USE AND
TRAFFICKING. FOR WE KNOW THAT WHAT THREATENS ONE
NATION IN OUR HEMISPHERE THREATENS US ALL.
- 7 -
IN EACH CASE, STRONG BILATERAL COOPERATION IS
FUNDAMENTAL To AN EFFECTIVE MULTILATERAL RESPONSE. AND
THANKFULLY, MR. PRESIDENT, OUR COUNTRIES SHARE THE GOOD
WILL AND DEDICATION TO CONFRONT, AND MEET, OUR
CHALLENGES. MEET THEM THROUGH MUTUAL CANDOR AND MUTUAL
RESPECT.
I HAVE OFTEN SPOKEN OF THE NEED To RECOGNIZE THE
PERMANENT IMPORTANCE OF THE U.S. -MEXICAN RELATIONSHIP.
- 8 -
MR. PRESIDENT, I WOULD LIKE AGAIN TO REFER TO THAT
NEED TODAY. FOR U.S.-MEXICAN AFFAIRS ARE VITAL To OUR
RESPECTIVE NATIONAL AGENDAS. OUR RELATIONS NOW ARE
STRONG. THEY MUST GROW EVEN STRONGER. AND WILL.
ON BEHALF OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
PRESIDENT SALINAS, LET ME WELCOME YOU To THE WHITE
HOUSE. AND TO THIS NATION OF YOUR FRIENDS.

Draft Statement
for The President at the
October 3 Agreements Signing Ceremony
with the Mexican Government
The two agreements that Secretary of State James Baker and
Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Fernando Solana have just
signed are symbolic of the diversity, breadth, vitality, and
Indul, used
growing closeness of the United States - Mexico relationship.
in his
I welcome them as a sign of the commitment of our two
governments -- and of President Salinas and myself -- to make
progress across a broad range of issues in the very special
you
friendship between our two countries.
arthm write
The Understanding Regarding Trade and Investment
Facilitation Talks moves beyond the consultative mechanism
established in our Framework Understanding on Trade to provide
a mandate for forward-looking negotiations. It is a signal
S
that we are not going to confine ourselves to taking up
uses
problems as they arise. Rather, we will take the initiative in
promoting increased trade and investment in ways which will
bring economic benefits on both sides of the border.
The cooperation agreement on Mexico City pollution is also
significant, because it commits our Governments to working
together to find ways to resolve air and other pollution
problems of one of the largest cities in the world. Improving
the quality of life for our people and finding balanced
responses to the serious environmental challenges we face are
priorities of both our Governments. I am confident that
results of this cooperation will have many applications to
resolving pollution problems in other large cities in both our
countries.

These two agreements, and others that will be signed this
afternoon, are concrete examples of how our Administrations
have worked closely together on issues of mutual interest
during the past ten months. More important, they are a sign of
our determination to continue to work together in the spirit of
friendship and mutual respect to shape an increasingly close
relationship.
This is crucial for two countries which are not only
neighbors but have extensive commercial, financial, family,
historical, and cultural ties. Our diverse relationship will
continue to grow in importance in the years to come. Ensuring
that this growth comes about in a productive and mutually
beneficial way is one of the foreign policy priorities of my
Administration.
Let us pledge today that these agreements will be the
forerunners of many more important understandings between our
two great countries.

HEADLINE: MEXICAN POETRY: AN ANTHOLOGY, COMPILED BY OCTAVIO PAZ; TRANSLATED BY
SAMUEL BECKETT (GROVE: $29.95, HARDCOVER; $9.95, PAPERBACK; 213 PP.)
BYLINE: By Raymund A. Paredes
BODY:
Mexico has always seemed a country of vast possibilities for the creation
of poetry. To start with, it inherited great traditions of poetic expression:
from the Aztecs and the Mayas, marvelously simple contemplative and lyrical
verse, and from the Golden Age Spaniards, opulent and intricate poetry
exemplified by the flamboyant Gongora. Like its northern neighbor, Mexico
offered its hopeful poets a landscape of inspiring beauty and size. And most of
all, it offered its history, which featured perhaps the most massive blending of
divergent cultures in human experience to provide poets enormous symbolic,
linguistic and narrative resources.
But as "Mexican Poetry" demonstrates, the poetic promise of Mexico was not
easily realized. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the intensity of Spanish
cultural domination sometimes produced clumsy results in poetry. In celebrating
the Mexican landscape, for example, Mexican poets adopted a baroque style,
eloquent but formal, aloof and thus incompatible with its subject. As Octavio
Paz points out in his introduction, early Mexican poets aspired to European
notions of universality and thereby failed to avail themselves of indigenous
resources. The history of subsequent Mexican poetry turned on the struggle to
balance aboriginal and Spanish elements and to find an appropriate voice in
which to treat the synthesized national culture.
The struggle was not only arduous but long-lasting, for until the late 19th
Century, Mexican poetry still manifested Spanish influences. In the 18th
Century, Mexican poets avidly embraced the conventions of Spanish neo-classicism
-- even to the point of writing in Latin -- and in the next century fell prey to
the excesses of Spanish romanticism.
Mexican poetry did not decisively shed Spanish hegemony until Ramon Lopez
Velarde and Alfonso Reyes appeared on the scene. Lopez Velarde was a
provincial poet in the finest sense, drawn to ordinary people, their language
and their actual cultural and economic circumstances. Reyes helped to turn
Mexican poets irreversibly toward native subjects with compositions such as
"Tarahumara Herbs."
"Mexican Poetry," which originally appeared in 1958, gathers poems from the
period 1521 to 1910, the first year marking the Spanish conquest of Mexico,
the second, the onset of the Mexican Revolution. All of Mexico's prominent
poets in that span of time are well represented here: Bernardo de Balbuena,
Juana de Asbaje, Jose Manuel Martinez de Navarrete, Luis Urbina, Amado Nervo,
Lopez Velarde and Reyes of course, and 28 others. The great strengths of the

anthology are that it clearly shows the trajectory of Mexican poetry over four
centuries, and that Paz carries the reader through various literary movements
with great style and insight.
Unfortunately, the volume's shortcomings are as striking as its virtues.
While the time span of its coverage is convenient, it provides a very incomplete
view of its subject. Certainly the collection would have been enhanced by the
inclusion of pre-Columbian poetry, a very rich body of verse little known in the
United States. Furthermore, the closing date of the anthology cuts the reader
off from post-revolutionary poetry -- the work of Efrain Huerta and Paz himself,
to pick but two examples - arguably the finest body of verse Mexico has
produced.
One last point about the selections. Paz mentions that Mexico has developed
an impressive tradition of popular and folk poetry. He is correct, and it is a
shame that the volume does not contain, at the very least, a sampling of ballads
known as "corridos."
As the cover of "Mexican Poetry" prominently notes the participation of
Samuel Beckett as translator for the poems, a few words on the subject are in
order. The anthology began to take shape in 1950 when UNESCO commissioned Paz,
then a financially strapped student in Paris, to gather 100 Mexican poems for
publication. UNESCO then approached Beckett to serve as translator, presumably
because he had earlier translated Gabriela Mistral's poem, "Recado terrestre."
Also in need of money, Beckett accepted, although he admitted his knowledge of
Spanish was only fair. With the help of Paz, an unnamed friend and a dictionary,
Beckett completed his assignment. The results are mixed. Beckett obviously took
liberties in his work, 50 much so that many of the English poems are more like
revisions than translations. Which suggests a final, belated recommendation for
the new edition of "Mexican Poetry." The publisher might have issued the volume
with Spanish and English versions of the poems on facing pages. Then the
bilingual reader could decide which he liked better, the Mexicans' poems or
Beckett's. Paredes writes frequently on the relationship between Mexican and
Mexican American writing and has recently completed an anthology of Mexican
American poetry.

BYLINE: By Carlos Fuentes
DATELINE: MEXICO CITY
BODY:
On St. Valentine's Day, Presidents Jimmy Carter and Jose Lopez Portillo will
meet on this "high metaphysical valley," as the writer Alfonso Reyes once
called it. The American president will be sandwiched between the visits of Pope
John Paul II and the presidnet of France, Valery Giscard d'Estaing. This is a
bit like playing the Phyllis Diller role, following Sophia Loren and preceding
Brigitte Bardot.
John Paul was welcomed by millions of people; in an era of resurgent
spiritual movements, he has shown (to the horror of Mexico's official but
minority Jacobinism) that the southern neighbor of the United States might be as
swayable as Iran by its deep and ancient religious commitments. And Giscard
represents the nation most admired by Mexicans for its intellectual and cultural
achievements. Besides, he has proven to be both a practical and respectful
economic partner and one of the few statesmen of world stature in today's barren
landscape.
Giscard's message has been, in effect, that progess is no longer what it used
to be. An era of exceptional growth ended in 1979; oil prices, demography and,
"perhaps, even more, spiritual evolution," will temper the excesses of the
splashy and splurgy brand of progress the West and its dependent oligarchies in
the Third World knew between Bretton Woods and the Arab oil embargo. Behind
Giscard's wise observations and pragmatic policies looms a new reality: that of
combining future growth with the reappearance of cultural factors as a
determining force in national and world affairs.
Against all hopes and forecasts, the rediscovery of the cultural facts of
life has been embodied by nationalism. Marx would turn in his grave; more than
one multinational executive swivels in his chair. But from Algeria to Tanzania
to China to Canada, the national aspiration, the need to embody the culture in a
national state and a national society, is still the strongest moving force as
the world plunges towards the 21st century. Culture has triumphed over economic
determinism and national interests have overcome ideology.
The presidnets of Mexico and the United States will discuss less than
metaphysical realities when they meet on the same stage where Nontezuma once
received Cortes for the merging of the New and the Old Worlds. Mr. Carter would
do well to dwell not only on energy, trade and immigration, but on the larger
issues at hand. These have to do, in reality, with the cultural substance and
the national identity of Mexico, with the viability of the Mexican state and
the respect due to the design for the future which is universally known in
Mexico as the "national project."

Mexico is heir to ancient civilizations. The Indian world is as alive as
the rich strains of Renaissance, Enlightenment and modern industrial
culture. Carter, in fact, will be visiting one of the truly polycultural nations
of today's world. Mexico's existence since 1810, when the parish priest
Miguel Hidalgo declared independence from Spain, has been one long struggle for
identity and integrity; for territorial intergrity in the 19th century, against
American "Manifest Destiny" and European imperial ambitions; and for national
identity through the revolutionary movement of the first 40 years of this
century.
The United States, as both the hegemonic power within the Hemisphere and
Mexico's immediate neighbor to the north, has played the leading role in
Mexican foreign relations. Half our national territory was lost to the armies
of Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott in 1848 -- against the protests of a lone
congressman, Abraham Lincoln, and a stubborn philosopher, Henry David Thoreau,
who, like Edmund Wilson a century later, refused to pay taxes that would finance
an unjust war. The Mexican Revolution was misunderstood, harassed, menaced and
undermined by the United States in an attack of the provincial blindness which
seems to afflict American foreign policy when it encounters (as encounter it
must) what it had ignored.
Down Graham Greene's "lawless roads" traveled the thundering denunciations of
Secretary of State Kellogg, Sen. Albert Fall (before his name became his
destiny: He was convicted in the aftermath of Teapot Dome) and the dusty hoofs
of Pershing's punitive expedition fruitlessly searching for Pancho Villa in the
land and among the people who invented modern guerrilla warfare, having decided,
after the defeats at Churubusco and Chapultepec, never to wage academic war
again. Although Engels urged the United States to take over all of Mexican
territory in the name of industrial progress, Winfield Scott knew better: He had
seen the lurking eyes of ambush and the dark suction of protracted occupation on
heavily populated, emotionally hostile and culturally alien territory.
The Importance of Oil
NO MARXIST, certainly, is today advising the United States to consider a
Mexican takeover. Yet, for the first time since the 1830s, Mexico has become
strategically important to the United States. Then, it meant achieving, at the
expense of Mexican territorial integrity, the continental unity which would
prepare the emergence of the United States as a world power. Today, it means
assuring an uninterrupted supply of oil and gas from a nearby source. Energy
from Mexico can even be transported overland, and drawn from a friendly,
stable nation. No more fears of Middle East flareups, Arab blackmail, OPEC
boycotts or unforeseen holy men toppling the amiable, if somewhat brutal, shah
of Iran.
Mexico is there and Mexico has 40.1 billion barrels of proven oil
reserves, 44.6 billion barrels of probable reserves and 200 billion barrels of
potential reserves. Mexico, furthermore, is not a member of OPEC. And the
United States, by 1985, will be facing a daily internal demand of 22.5 million
barrels a day. It will only be producing about half that amount. Thus, it will
be forced to import 50 percent of its needs. And Mexico is so near to the
United States, no matter how far from God
John Paul II may have shorteced the traditional distance between Mexico and
God, but many Mexicans feel that, in the case of a real crisis, the United
States would perfunctorily abolish the space between themselves and Mexico.

Did not Secretary Kissinger, in 1974, menace the Arab states with military
intervention if U.S. energy requirements were not met? This saber-rattling
never fooled anybody. You don't send in the Marines to rape the Seven Sisters.
The difference between the halls of Montezuma and the shores of Tripoli is that
Mexico owns its oil resources totally and manages all the elements of its
industry, from exploration to exportation. It would take the Marines to divert
Mexico from its national energy policies in order to become the servile
supplier of American needs dictated by American gluttony and American whim.
The American public should recall that, in 1983, President Lazaro Cardenas
nationalized all the holdings of American, British and Dutch oil companies in
Mexico, in compliance with Article 27 of the Mexican Constitution. London and
The Hague broke off diplomatic relations with Mexico City. In spite of the
thunder from the right, Franklin D. Roosevelt refused to floow suit. Ably
counseled by two exceptional American statesmen, Undersecretary of State Summer
Welles and Ambassador Josephus Daniels, FDR decided to face the challenge and
respect Mexico's sovereign decision. In 50 doing, he prompted the American
and Mexican publics to digest one hundrted years of adversary relationship and
placed the American national interest where it truly lay: in Mexican partnership
during World War II, when the Avila Camacho government, without yielding an inch
in the matter of oil nationalization, provided the Roosevelt war administration
with anit-Fascist militancy, strategic raw materials and that same cheap labor
force which comes in 50 handy in times of need and is so easily dismissed when
the local police forces of Texas or California decide to sneer at Carter's human
rights campaign inside his own corral. Also, thanks to the Roosevelt-Cardenas
policies, Mexico became the United States' fourth trading partner in the world
and the first in the Western Hemisphere.
A Question of Respect
AS CARTER and Lopez Portillo prepare to meet, a challenge as great as the one
faced by their predecessors 40 years ago looms before them. This challenge is
not composed solely of the material factors of the problem - energy, trade and
immigration. It also surpasses the supposed choice among three approaches to
U.S.- Mexico's policy: an ad hoc, issue-by-issue stance; a resurrection of the
so-called "special relationship," which never existed in reality; or a frankly
protectionist or even punitive attitude.
What is at stake is not a negotiating procedure or even this or that
component of a hypothetical negotiation, important as any of the three issues in
question indisputably are. In his now classic "Dipomacy for a Crowded World,"
George Ball warned the U.S. that, "The problems one can predict between the
United States and Mexico foreshadow those we will face with many other
countries. They are porblems for which we are not prepared -- psychologically,
emotionally, or in terms of concrete plans and programs."
As in 1938, the challenge consists in knowing whether the United States will
respect Mexico's "national project." Mexico is a proud nation which does not
accept paternalistic solutions recommended, much less imposed, from abroad.
Furthermore, the national project now taking shape in Mexico does not
depend on oil. Rather, oil depends on the national project. In 1982, Mexico
hopes to expand its present production of 1.4 million daily barrels to 2.5
million, of which 1.5 would be reserved for internal consumption, following the
unwritten rule set down by the 1938 nationalization: that oil is a nonrenewable
resource and must be used primarily for internal development. Another 1

million barrels a day would be left over for exportation. Half of that amount
already has been committed through long-term contracts with France, Spain, Japan
and Irrael - all actively negotiating with Mexico while Energy Secretary
James Schlesinger was playing the arrogant bully and Sen. Adlai Stevenson III
stupidly blocked credits for the sale of Mexican natural gas to the United
States.
Mexico would be happy to sell the remaining 500,000 daily barrels to the
United States, considered, in Lopez Portillo's words, "a natural but not a
privileged client." But will American hunger for oil be content with what
amounts to 5 percent of its foreseeable oil imports for 1985? Why shouldn't
Mexico go whole hog and raise its production to Persian Gulf levels of 5, 7,
even 10 million barrels a day?
Simply because, answers Mexico's able young minister for industrial
delvelopment, Jose Andres de Oteyza, by setting a ceiling on production at 2.5
million barrels per day, and limiting exports to 1 million a day, Mexico will
achieve a spectacular but healthy growth of 10 percent a year. The Mexican
state will double its income (this is the argument against rabid Mexican
conservationists who would not export a single barrel of oil) and be able to
invest heavily in four essential growth sectors (oil, steel, electricity and
fertilizers) which will act as engines for an overall plan to decentralize
industry, banish new factories from Mexico City, attract development toward
the border and coastal areas and stimulate the reallocation of population near
food-producing zones and in labor-in-tensive agro-industrial projects.
The conservationists' attitude would deprive the state of the resources for
this policy. Bu uncontrolled production would trigger uncontrollable inflation,
an abnormal development of up to 15 percent where a booming oil industry would
deform an otherwise enfeebled economy, create the temptation to subsidize
mendacity and assure the prompt exhaustion of the wells. Mexico would soon
sacrifice both its potential riches and its very important advantage over most
oil-producing countries of the Third World: Mexico, since 1920, has been
establishing an infrastructure capable of absorbing oil revenue and using it
wisely for both social and productive goals.
Beyond that limit lies the Abudabization of Mexico.
Mexico's discovery of vast resources of oil and natural gas is transforming
our relations with our southern neighbor. As President Carter heads for
Mexico on a state visit, Carlos Fuentes, a distinguished novelist and a former
Mexican ambassador to France, warns that Washington must respect Mexico's
plans to develop its wealth at its own pace, for its purposes.
A New Relationship
IF THE national project is respected by the United States and well
administered by Mexico, many of the irritants in the relations between the two
countries will be modified, notably the amount and nature of Mexican immigration
to the United States.
Both countries coexist under the mixed system of modern capitalism. As is
true between the south and the north of Europe, the free flow of the labor
market is natural and sound: Mexican labor represents a collective aid to the
American economy; it takes jobs from no one and pays its own way through taxes
considerably higher than the social services it receives. Conversely,
LEXIS® NEXIS® LEXIS® ® NEXIS®
Services of Mead Data Central
PAGE
9
(c) 1979 The Washington Post, February 11, 1979
Mexico allows the free flow of capital. The vast U.S. investment in Mexico
($5.5 billion in 1978) is not hampered by hand-slicing fences, brutal cops or
other measures applied by the United States to the flow of labor. In fact, an
American investor is even free to decapitalize the Mexican economy by
repatriating all of his earnings, which are usually gained in the most dynamic
and quickly profitable sectors of the Mexican economy.
If the United States cannot be patient enough with Mexico's labor problem,
Mexico can also lose patience with the problem of American capital. The
Mexican government, under the Constitution, has the authority to apply to
private property the modalities dictated by the public interest. Exclusion of
foreign investment from certain sectors, a ban on repatriation of profits, can
be among them. Two can tango.
But this would lead us directly to confrontation politics. Mexicans do not
believe in a sudden change of heart in American policy. Superpowers behave
cynically, but they should not behave stupidly. Relations with Mexico are a
challenge to the imagination of U.S. policymakers because the world will judge
and forecast Washington's attitudes toward the vast majority of the human race
by its dealings with its southern neighbor.
The 000-mile frontier between the the countries, it should be recalled, is
also the boundary between the United States and Latin America as a whole, and
between the world's strongest economic and military power and the Third World.
The United States has no closer contact with what is alien, differnet and
challenging to its assumptions. Cuba is separated by those famous 90 miles. In
1979, the Latin American countries nearest to, yet most alienated from, the
United States will be negotiating the nature of their relations with the United
States into the coming century. If Cuba, because of its close association with
Soviet bloc, gets more respect and understanding from the United States than
Mexico, which has remained a close American trade, labor and financial
partner, the lesson will not be lost on the rest of Latin America or the vast
reaches of the Third World.
While on a visit furthering diversified economic relations and political
support in Japan and China last year, Lopez Portillo declared that Mexico
stood very low in the lists the U.S. "priorities" or respect. Since the Mexican
president uttered these words, U.S. public opinion and, presumably, the White
House, have become aware of the Mexican priority.
Jorge Diaz Serrano, the dynamic and efficient head of Petroleos Mexicanos
(Pemex), the state oil enterprise, is aware of how far too much "priority" can
go. He recently warned the audience of the CBS Evening News that the Mexican
people would not tolerate foreign interference in decisions affecting the
nation's oil and gas resources. In conversation with this writer, he added that
American officials had grossly understimated Mexican resilience to pressure
during the ill-fated negotiations in Washington last year, when Schlesinger and
Stevenson, in what was certainly not their finest hour, blocked gas sales and
pipeline credit. Now the United States must approach Mexico under less
favorable conditions and in a more bitter atmosphere.
The American tendency to black-mail through tradeoffs on issues that only
become confused and debased in the process does not enhance understanding. The
economic, social and humane need for an open border cannot be linked to oil and
gas supply.

A Binational Commission?
MISUNDERSTANDING in these matters should be avoided. Perhaps the time is
ripe for some kind of permanent high-level commission on Mexican-American
relations, designed to negotiate further where negotiation is called for and
eliminate friction points. I wonder how much Presidents Carter and Lopez
Portillo can truly negotiate in Mexico City come Valentine's Day without
hurting each other's national pride or interests. Given the itchy nature of the
relationship, a fully empowered commission could negotiate without going public,
while retaining direct and immediate access to both the American and the Mexican
chief executives.
Neither country lacks men of caliber to head such a commission. I think, on
the American side, of George Ball, or Elliot Richardson, who has shown
remarkable rapport with his Mexican colleague, Jorge Castaneda, at the Law of
the Sea Conference, or the quiet, flexible and infinitely knowledgeable
attorney. William D. Rogers, the former Undersecretary of State. Mexico
could field any of the richly experienced men of its senior diplomatic
tradition, not to speak of its three most brilliant young statesmen: Porfirio
Munoz Ledo, former secretary of labor and education; Carlos Tello, former
secretary of the budget; and Mario Moya Palencia, former secretary of the
interior.
If, as Ball says, the Mexican problem foreshadows all others, it is
imperative that there exist a body capable of giving the appropriate danger
signals when unreflective and even brutal attitudes emerge uncontrolled.
Mexico has a sorry experience in the matter: Operation Intercept, commercial
restrictions, cotton dumping, last October's Tortilla Wall (or
Berlin-on-the-Rio-Grande) were all sprung as surprises on a deteriorating, and
far from "special," relationship.
President Lopez Portillo will try to make President Carter realize that
Mexico is a nation, not an oil well. It is up to Mexico to determine its
nationhood. Its big pluses are there: the strong development of its public
sector in general and its oil industry in particular; the capacity of its
administrative cadres; the diversification of its economy, its sound
infrastructure; the catholicity of its intellectual debate on the history and
destiny of the nation; its justifiable cultural pride. But there are also its
flagrant minuses: corruption; a disruptively unjust pattern of distribution of
wealth; a voraciously antisocial entrepreneurial class; a seemingly
uncontrollable demography; a lack of sufficient channels for public debate.
The great catastrophes of U.S. foreign policy have come about through a
mixture of cultural ignorance and political impatience. The isolation of the
U.S.S.R. greatly abetted Stalinism. Ambassador Spruille Braden, by opposing
him, virtually put Juan Peron in power in Argentina. Three decades were lost
before the Middle Kingdom and its "celestial bureaucracy" were preceived as
cultural structures of an ancient civilization, and not the result of Marxist
conspiracy. Tens of thousands died before it was understood that Vietnam's
historical mission has been to contain Chinese expansionism. Nixon's blind
intervention in Cambodia destroyed that nation's fabric for years to come.
Let not these mistakes take place in Mexico. The price would be far
higher. Mexico must sort out its own national priorities without external
pressures; otherwise, it could go down the drain of explosion or repression

and the United States could end up with a Cuba, an India or a Chile on its
doorstep.
Carter can be sure of a warm welcome in Mexico; my countrymen are past
masters at colorful receptions for foreign visitors. Less overwhelming than the
pope's, less glamorous than Giscard's, the American president's visit will be
translated into an appropriate media event. But it would be sad if all Carter
picked up in Mexico was the 1.5 percent of the vote which Hispanics could
grant him in the 1980 election.
The Mexican Valentine, if thorny, holds a challenge for statesmanship. It is
the same challenge Franklin Roosevelt rose to: the recognition that the national
interest of the United States lies in respect for and recognition of Mexico's
national project, complex culture and historical identity. If this was true in
1938, it has become urgent in 1979.

Draft Statement
for The President at the
October 3 Agreements signing Ceremony
with the Mexican Government
The two agreements that Secretary of State James Baker and
Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Fernando Solana have just
signed are symbolic of the diversity, breadth, vitality, and
growing closeness of the United States - Mexico relationship.
I welcome them as a sign of the commitment of our two
governments -- and of President Salinas and myself -- to make
progress across a broad range of issues in the very special
friendship between our two countries.
The Understanding Regarding Trade and Investment
Facilitation Talks moves beyond the consultative mechanism
established in our Pramework Understanding on Trade to provide
a mandate for forward-looking negotiations. It is a signal
that we are not going to confine ourselves to taking up
problems as they arise. Rather, we will take the initiative in
promoting increased trade and investment in ways which will
bring economic benefits on both sides of the border.
The cooperation agreement on Mexico City pollution is also
significant, because it commits our Governments to working
together to find ways to resolve air and other pollution
problems of one of the largest cities in the world. Improving
the quality of life for our people and finding balanced
responses to the serious environmental challenges we face are
priorities of both our Governments. I am confident that
results of this cooperation will have many applications to
resolving pollution problems in other large cities in both our
countries.

These two agreements, and others that will be signed this
afternoon, are concrete examples of how our Administrations
have worked closely together on issues of mutual interest
during the past ten months. More important, they are a sign of
our determination to continue to work together in the spirit of
friendship and mutual respect to shape an increasingly close
relationship.
This is crucial for two countries which are not only
neighbors but have extensive commercial, financial, family,
historical, and cultural ties. Our diverse relationship will
continue to grow in importance in the years to come. Ensuring
that this growth comes about in a productive and mutually
beneficial way is one of the foreign policy priorities of my
Administration.
Let us pledge today that these agreements will be the
forerunners of many more important understandings between our
two great countries.

SALINAS DEPARTURE
DIPLOMATIC ENTRANCE
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1989
- days ago, I took great pleasure in welcoming President
Salinas back to the Nation where he has worked and studied.
Today, I take equal pleasure in saying: Because of our
discussions, the special relationship between Mexico and the
United States has perhaps never been more special.
President Salinas and I first met in Houston, then Paris,
and now in Washington. Corresponding also by letter, and phone.
From the first, our talks were cordial, as befits old friends.
For that is what our Nations have been, and are. And marked by
respect and candor, as befits neighbors and equal partners. For
that is what we are, and shall remain.
This week's meeting reflected those qualities, and spirit of
continuity. For in our conversations, the President and I have
have the opportunity to review and renew the bilateral
relationship between our two countries.
Mr. President, that relationship is unique. And our
discussions proved it. They reaffirmed the commitment to expand
the ties -- political, economic, and cultural -- which link
Mexico and the United States. And our agenda reflected the
diversity of that commitment.
8
We have concluded a series of important agreements,
commitments, and accomplishments. Bilateral achievements which
will enhance trade and investment, environmental and cultural
cooperation, the war against drugs and support for democracy.
Achievements which will build a better hemisphere, and world.
Our achievements spring from teamwork -- a harmony embodied
by the International Boundary and Water Commission centennial,
marking 100 years of U.S.-Mexican border cooperation. And they
show what can, and must be done, to make relations between our
two great Nations even closer than they are today.
This, Mr. President, is our challenge. I have no doubt we
will meet it. Meet it through common efforts solving common
problems. Meet it through perhaps your visit's greatest gift --
the free, open, and ongoing dialogue you offer us with the
Mexican government and the Mexican people.
For that, and for your leadership, we thank you. For
together, we can make ours The Relationship of the Offered Hand
and Open Heart. In that spirit, for now I bid you an
affectionate farwell. We will see much of each other in the
months and years to come.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: SALINAS TOAST
STATE DINING ROOM
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1989
President and Mrs. Salinas, Honored guests, Ladies and
gentlemen.
It is indeed a privilege for Barbara and I to have you as
our guest. Many times, your country has extended to us that
kindness for which Mexico is famous. Tonight, we are honored to
return that favor -- and to welcome you to the White House.
More than years ago, a great Mexican spoke of the
urgency of time. "Four things come not back," said . "The
spoken word; the sped arrow; time past; the neglected
opportunity."
Well, this evening I want to use this opportunity to salute
the great leader of a great country. My new friend -- but
already a good friend. And his Nation that in times both "past"
of
and present, is the friend of all America
what America
Mr. President, an old American hymn reminds us: "Blest Be
the Tie That Binds." Well, the special relationship between the
United States and Mexico is bound by many ties.
Those ties include our 2,000-mile border, and billions of
dollars of two-way trade. They are military and educational,
5
political and economic. Our ties rest on respect and maturity,
communication and consultation. And cherish the values which
link our cultures -- values of faith, family, and respect for
tradition.
As a young man, Mr. President, you came to grasp these ties.
For you have studied in the United States. You know us well. I
am -- perhaps -- not so young a man. But I, too, revere them.
For as a Texan I've lived side-by-side with Mexico. I think I
know you well.
Such understanding leads to trust. And such trust can lead
to progress.
Already, we have done much. For from its earliest days,
your Administration has acted as our neighbor, and equal partner.
And known that by applying our resources to common problems, we
can ensure a richer life for all. Now, let us do more.
By increasing bilateral trade, let us achieve economic
growth to match the rise in our population. And by joining
hands, expand the cooperation embodied by a century of joint
engineering projects by the International Boundary and Water
Commission.
Together, let us enhance investment opportunity. And the
environment along our border. Let us support democracy in our
hemisphere -- and, thus, regional security and stability. And
toward that goal, let us reaffirm the national priority that is a
hemispheric crusade. For unless we defeat drug use and
trafficking, we will help rob our children of their dreams.
6
There is an ancient proverb which goes, "God guides whom
He wills toward a straight path." Mr. President, let our path
be straight and true. Affirming all that which unites us.
Combating that which divides us. And so enrich this generation
-- and all the generations to come.
In that spirit, I ask all of our guests tonight to rise and
raise their glasses:
-- To Mexican-American friendship;
-- To a better world for our children, and all children;
--
And to the health and happiness of my friend and
colleague, the President of Mexico.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: SALINAS ARRIVAL
DIPLOMATIC ENTRANCE
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1989
President Salinas and Mrs. Salinas, Secretaries Solana and
Baker, Ambassadors Petriciolo and Negroponte, members of the
delegation and friends.
Less than one year ago, two Presidents-elect met in Houston,
Harrords
Texas.
We met, if I might inject this personal note,
days
Bur. 11/21/88
before Harvard's football Crimson fell to the mighty men of Yale.
But in our discussions, Mr. President, both sides won. For
even then, we began discussions about what for each of us is a
major Presidential responsibility -- defining and enhancing the
Mexican-U.S. relationship.
Mr. President, you and I went to Houston certain of the
importance of our discussions. For ours, after all, is the
world's broadest and most complex bilateral agenda. But I think
it fair to say that neither of us envisioned the degree of
success that would result.
That success was embodied by what has come to be known as
"The Spirit of Houston" -- our joint commitment to create the
framework of mutual trust and understanding. And in the past
year, that spirit has reaffirmed already solid Mexican-American
ties.
2
Together, Mexico and the United States have negotiated a
solution to the debt question. And developed greater cooperation
in the war against drugs. Together, we have improved
opportunities for bilateral trade and incestment. And nurtured
our environment. In sum, we have found new ways to strengthen
old bonds.
These efforts were well underway when President Salinas and
I met last July in Paris -- and the effect was clear: A superb
bilateral relationship was now even better. For countries with
such shared social, economic, and regional interests, no
diplomatic feat could be more crucial.
Now, as I welcome President Salinas to our capital for his
first State visit, I believe we are about to see additional proof
of how Mexico and the United States understand one another. And
how we want to work together. Toward common ends. And concrete
results.
Mr. President, I know you love to jog and play tennis. So
do I. The bad news is that we may not have much time to do that
in the next days. The good news is the reason: We have a
Cromp David 5
full agenda to discuss.
As major trading partners, we must explore ways to expand
Bill.,Rice
our commerce. And as members of the Organization of American
States, to discuss how democracy can be restored to Panama and
free and fair elections held in Nicaragua. The plague of drug
use and trafficking eclipses boundary, and race; we know that
what threatens one Nation in our hemisphere threatens us all.
3
In each instance, like many others, strong bilateral
cooperation is fundamental to an effective multilateral response.
And thankfully, Mr. President, our countries share the good will
and commitment needed to confront, and meet, our challenges.
Through candor and mutual respect. And the knowledge that what
unites us far surmounts what divides us.
Last night, in remarks I made to the American people (Note:
Use if Mexican TV presentation is approved), I spoke of the need
to recognize the "permanent importance" of the U.S. -Mexican
relationship.
Mr. President, I would like to refer to that phrase again as
I welcome you to the White House. For U.S.-Mexican affairs are
vital to our respective agendas. Our relations today are strong.
They must grow even stronger. And will.
There is a Mexican phrase which goes,
.
Translated, it
means "You are most welcome." On behalf of the United States of
America, President Salinas, let me welcome you to the White
House. And to this Nation of your friends.

the sense that the American nations are not as foreign

Whereas discontinuity may be the norm for things material, continuity
lies in the spiritual order of things; it lies not in tangibles but in the
soul. Our lives would be impossible without the continuity of the
spirit. It is that continuity of the spirit that enables us to see order
amid chaos.
All things can be remedied by fortitude: a resolve not to be
deterred by obstacles of time and space. Our journey through this world
though it may be, physically speaking, a series of geographic points and
counterpoints— is, in the moral sense, a constant process of
accumulation; it is a net that, as it moves, catches within its mesh new
friendships, new people, new ideas about the world.

Let us go forward together: together in our efforts, together on the

Pero siendo así que nuestros negocios son los negocios

Y ahora, para acabar, permitidme una pequeña di-

cambios súbitos en las evoluciones biológicas cada vez

íntimamente interrogada por la Física Matemática, nos
deja descubrir, entre esas zarabandas de iones en torno
al electrón central, que hay intersticios en la natura-

pasar el ion -digamos- sino dejando de existir en
un tramo del camino y renaciendo después; en suma,
que la discontinuidad es tal vez la norma del mundo
corpóreo. La continuidad, en cambio, es un orden espi-

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: SALINAS TOAST
STATE DINING ROOM
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1989
President and Mrs. Salinas, Honored guests, Ladies and
gentlemen.
It is indeed a privilege for Barbara and me to have you as
our guest. Your country has often extended to us that kindness
for which Mexico is famous. Tonight, we are honored to return
that favor -- and to welcome you to the White House.
Mr. President, we first met last November in Houston, Texas.
We met, if I might add this personal note, the day after
Harvard's football Crimson fell to the mighty men of Yale.
We have learned anew how special the relationship between
Mexico and the United States can be. This relationship which has
been, and continues to be, bound by so many ties. We have become
good friends.
Those ties include our 2,000-mile border, and billions of
dollars in trade. They are educational, political and economic.
Our ties rest on respect and maturity, communication and
consultation. And the values that we cherish and which link our
cultures -- values of faith, family, and respect for tradition.
As a young man, Mr. President, you studied in the United
States. You know us well, and came to understand our ties. I,
too, revere them. For as a Texan, I've lived side-by-side with
Mexico and know and appreciate your beautiful country and its
wonderful people.
Such understanding leads to trust. And such trust can lead
to progress.
Already, we have done much. For from its earliest days,
your Administration has acted as our neighbor, and equal partner.
And known that by applying our resources to common problems, we
can ensure a richer life for all. Now, let us do more.
Let us increase bilateral trade and achieve economic growth.
Let us expand cooperation and enhance investment opportunity.
And let us support democracy in our hemisphere -- and, thus,
regional security and stability. We must also reaffirm our two
nations' priority of combating narcotics that is a hemispheric
crusade. For unless we defeat drug use and trafficking, we will
help rob our children of their dreams.
There is an ancient proverb which goes, "[God] guides whom
He wills to a straight path." Mr. President, let our path
be straight and true. Affirming all that which unites us. And
so enrich this generation -- and all the generations to come.
In that spirit, I ask all of our guests tonight to rise and
raise their glasses:
-- To Mexican-American friendship;
-- To a better world for our children, and all children;
-- And to the health and happiness of my friend and
colleague, the President of Mexico.

10:00 am
President Salinas and Mrs. Salinas, Secretaries Solana and
Baker, Ambassadors Petriciolo [peh trah CHO lee] and Negroponte,
[nehgro pohn tay] members of the delegation and friends.
Less than one year ago, we met in Houston, Texas, as two
Presidents-elect. And began to focus on what, for each of us, is
a major Presidential responsibility -- defining and enhancing the
Mexican-U.S. relationship.
Mr. President, you and I went to Houston certain of the
importance of our responsibilities. For ours is one of the
world's broadest and most complex bilateral relationships. But I
think that few could have envisioned the degree of success that
our talks would have.
That success was embodied by what has come to be known as
"The Spirit of Houston" -- our joint commitment to create a
framework of mutual trust and understanding. And in the past
year, that spirit has strengthened our Mexican-American ties.
Together, Mexico and the United States have worked to
negotiate a solution to the debt question. And develop greater
cooperation in the war against drugs. Together, we have improved
opportunities for bilateral trade and investment. And nurtured
our environment. In sum, finding new ways to reaffirm old bonds.
2
When President Salinas and I met last July in Paris, these
steps were already underway -- steps crucial to countries with
such shared social, economic, and regional interests.
Now, as I welcome President Salinas to our capital for his
first State visit, I look forward to continued progress. And
additional proof of how Mexico and the United States can work
together. Toward common ends. And positive results.
Those ends are reflected in today's agenda. For as major
trading partners, we must explore ways to expand our commerce.
And as members of the Organization of American States, discuss
how democracy can be restored to Panama and free and fair
elections held in Nicaragua.
This year, we celebrate a century of joint projects by the
International Boundary and Water Commission. We must renew that
cooperation. And continue to strengthen our assault on the
plague of drug use and trafficking. For we know that what
threatens one Nation in our hemisphere threatens us all.
In each case, strong bilateral cooperation is fundamental to
an effective multilateral response. And thankfully, Mr.
President, our countries share the good will and dedication to
confront, and meet, our challenges. Meet them through mutual
candor and mutual respect.
I have often spoken of the need to recognize the permanent
importance of the U.S. -Mexican relationship.
Mr. President, I would like again to refer to that need
today. For U.S.-Mexican affairs are vital to our respective
3
national agendas. Our relations now are strong. They must grow
even stronger. And will.
On behalf of the United States of America, President
Salinas, let me welcome you to the White House. And to this
Nation of your friends.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1989
might not
The two agreements that Secretary of State James Baker and
Sayd
Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Fernando Solana have just
Street
signed are symbolic of the breadth and ever-growing closeness
of United States-Mexican ties. They prove that the special
Bill Price
relationship between our countries has never been stronger.
I welcome these agreements as a signal of the commitment of
our two governments -- and of President Salinas and myself -- to
make progress over a wide variety of issues. Progress which
befits old friends. For that is what our Nations have been, and
Bill Price
are. And which befits neighbors and equal partners. For that is
what we are, and shall remain.
The Understanding Regarding Trade and Investment
Facilitation Talks, for instance, moves beyond the consultation
encouraged by our Framework Understanding on Trade to create a
mandate for negotiation. By taking the initiative, we will
promote the increased trade and investment that can benefit both
sides of the border.
The cooperation agreement on Mexico City pollution is also
significant. For it commits our governments to jointly find ways
2
to resolve air and other pollution problems in one of the largest
cities in the world.
Improving the quality of life for our people is a priority
of both our governments. So is finding balanced responses to our
serious environmental needs. This agreement confronts those
needs. Moreover, I believe, it paves the way to resolve
pollution problems in other large cities in the United States and
Mexico.
These two agreements, and others that will be signed this
afternoon, are concrete examples of how our Administrations have
worked closely together during the last ten months. They spring
from teamwork. And show what can, and must, be done to make
relations between our two great Nations even closer than they are
what
today.
This, Mr. President, is our challenge. I have no doubt we
will meet it. Meet it through common efforts. And common bonds
-- commercial, financial, family, historical, and cultural. Meet
it through perhaps your visit's greatest gift -- the free, open,
Bill
and ongoing dialogue you offer us with the Mexican government and
the Mexican people.
Let us pledge to make ours the relationship of the offered
hand and open heart. And that these agreements will be the
foregunner of many more understandings between our countries. And
let me close with these words of the great Mexican philosopher,
DePira Voir
Alfonso Reyes [RAY-es], born 100 years ago. "Let us go forward

Such understanding leads to trust. And such trust can lead
to progress.
Already, we have done much. For from its earliest days,
your Administration has acted as our neighbor, and equal partner.
And known that by applying our resources to common problems, we

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS:
MEXICAN AGREEMENTS
DIPLOMATIC ENTRANCE
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1989
10:45 am
The two agreements just signed are symbolic of the breadth
and ever-growing closeness of United States-Mexican ties. They
prove that the special relationship between our countries has
never been stronger.
I welcome these agreements as a signal of the commitment of
our two governments -- and of President Salinas and myself -- to
make progress over a wide variety of issues. Progress that
befits old friends. For that is what our Nations have been, and
are. And which befits neighbors and equal partners. For that is
what we are, and shall remain.
The Understanding Regarding Trade and Investment
Facilitation Talks, for instance, moves beyond the consultation
encouraged by our Framework Understanding on Trade to create a
mandate for negotiation. By taking the initiative, we will
promote the increased trade and investment that can benefit both
sides of the border.
The cooperation agreement on Mexico City pollution is also
significant. For it commits our governments to jointly find ways
to resolve air and other pollution problems in one of the largest
cities in the world.
Improving the quality of life for our people is a priority
of both our governments and we welcome the personal commitment to
this matter by President Salinas. So is finding balanced
responses to our serious environmental needs. This agreement
confronts those needs.
These two agreements, and others that will be signed this
afternoon, as well as our joint efforts to fashion a plan for
addressing Mexico's external debt are concrete examples of how
our Administrations have worked closely together during the last
ten months. These agreements spring from teamwork. And show
what can, and must, be done to make relations between our two
great Nations even closer than they are today.
This, Mr. President, is our challenge. I have no doubt we
will meet it. Meet it through common efforts. And common bonds
-- commercial, financial, family, historical, and cultural. Meet
it through what is perhaps your visit's greatest gift -- the
free, open, and ongoing dialogue you offer us with the Mexican
government and the Mexican people.
Let us pledge to make ours the relationship of the offered
hand and open heart. And let us pledge that these agreements
will be the forerunner of an even greater understanding between
our countries. And let me close with these words of the great
Mexican philosopher, Alfonso Reyes [RAY-es], born 100 years ago.
"Let us go forward together," II he said. "Together in our
efforts
together in friendship and affection
Ever together." "
