POINTS TO BE MADE FOR MEETING WITH
PHILIP JOHNSTON, PRESIDENT OF CARE
--
I wanted to take advantage of your being back in the U.S.
for a few days to get your first hand impressions of the
relief effort in Somalia.
We admire what you have done as UN coordinator and hope the
presence of the coalition will now make the tremendous task
easier.
--
We're going to move just as fast as we can to establish a
secure environment in the areas of greatest starvation.
--
Are your needs starting to be met? What is the longer term
program for planting crops and restoring herds?
:
Please extend my gratitude, and that of all the American
people, to the workers from CARE and the other PVO's working
in Somalia. They are doing a tremendous job under extremely
trying conditions. They are real heroes.
--
I know we can count on you to spearhead the intensified
effort.
--
Please give my old friend Ambassador Kittani my best wishes
when you get back to Mogadishu.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
December 18, 1992
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT,
PRIME MINISTER JOHN MAJOR AND EC PRESIDENT JACQUES DELORS
UPON DEPARTURE
The South Lawn
1:35 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Today's discussions with Prime Minister
Major and President Delors mark our fifth meeting since we agreed to
these semiannual consultations with the European Community. And the
frequency of these meetings is a sign of their vital important for
the world trading system, for our own economic well-being, and for
meeting the challenges of the new world. And this morning we covered
a broad agenda reflecting the many interests that we share in global
partnership.
On trade, we are of one mind -- we agreed that a sound
Uruguay Round agreement is essential to boost worldwide economic
growth. And we all agreed to conclude the GATT agreement in Geneva
by mid-January.
We've instructed our negotiators to work together to
this end. And we're committed not only to resolving the differences
remaining among ourselves but also to encouraging Japan and other
countries to join us in an energetic effort to bring the negotiations
to a successful conclusion.
I continue to believe that for the people of Europe as
well as of the United States, free and open trade is the key to
expanding prosperity. And a successful Uruguay Round could result in
over $5 trillion in increased world output over the next 10 years.
Our estimate suggests that the European Community's gains would
amount to about $1.4 trillion, and the United States would benefit
from a boost of $1.1 trillion in that period. And clearly these
tremendous gains would promote the well-being of all of our citizens.
Also this morning we discussed the continuing tragedy in
what once was Yugoslavia. We reaffirmed our commitment to the
unhampered flow of humanitarian aid and to ending the violence there
through a sound political solution.
And we also reiterated our continued support for the
Russian people's brave efforts to create a market economy there. And
we believe that reforms must be implemented quickly if external aid
is to be effective. And used wisely, western aid can be a catalyst
to democratic reform, reforms that are in the interest of all the
world. And we agreed to work closely with President Yeltsin to
achieve these goals.
And then I took the opportunity to share with the Prime
Minister and the President our views of the Middle East peace
process. I welcome the continued active role of the EC, particularly
in the multilateral side of the talks.

After Prime Minister Major and President Delors briefed
me on the results of the EC summit in Edinburgh this week, I
reaffirmed our longstanding support for European integration.
And so I want to thank the Prime Minister, Prime
Minister John Major, and President Delors for their support and
friendship, friendship they've shown me personally and most of all
shown to the people of the United States. Talks such as these serve
as a reminder of their friendship and of our common interests in
creating a world of peace and prosperity for all our peoples.
So once again to both of you my sincere thanks. And Mr.
Prime Minister would you take the floor, sir.
PRIME MINISTER MAJOR: Mr. President, thank you very
much indeed. The President's covered very extensively the areas
we've covered, but I'd like to touch on one or two of the matters
that have crossed our discussion this morning.
Firstly perhaps, I could add my congratulations to the
President on agreement on the North American Free Trade Association.
I think that's an extremely good agreement and one that he can justly
be proud of. I'd also like to extend my thanks and I think the
thanks of millions of other people for the remarkable work that the
United States is leading in Somalia at the moment.
In our discussions this morning, we centered on a number
of key subjects. Central to them was concern about completion of the
Uruguay Round. I think there has been some feeling over recent days
that for one reason or another uncertainties, concerns in some
countries, that the Uruguay Round might somehow be slipping away when
agreement looked as though it was near. We addressed those
particular problems this morning and we collectively agreed that we
wished our negotiators to resume negotiations early in January -- the
multilateral negotiations in Geneva -- and to complete the Uruguay
Round by the middle of January. There may be a few odds and ends
that would spill over, but our intention is to have the substantive
agreements in place by mid January.
And it was our view that that was important not just in
itself, but because of the confidence that would engender in the
world economy, a confidence at the moment that we felt was badly
needed. So I was delighted we were able to reach those agreements
this morning.
We spent some time also, of course, reviewing the
difficult situation in Yugoslavia. I think there is agreement on the
need for political settlement. That is certainly the position the
United Kingdom have continually taken. And a political settlement
that does not disturb the humanitarian assistance that's so necessary
for so many hundreds of thousands of people in Yugoslavia. The
President and I will be continuing our discussions about that over
the weekend.
Those were the central parts of our discussion. We had
the opportunity of touching on the situation in the Middle East, in
Russia, the international economy, and a variety of other matters as
well.
But I'd simply like to conclude by thanking the
President for his hospitality and for the most useful discussions
we've had this morning.
PRESIDENT DELORS: I enjoy this opportunity to meet
President Bush and his team with which we have worked usefully, it
seems to me, during four years. And I thank you, the President, for
this warm welcome.

- 3 -
We are in '92,, and '92 is a very important target for
the community. And I, as far as the internal revolution of the
European Community's concern, I underline the completion of the
single European market in just over two weeks. And after the success
of the European Council of Edinburgh, chaired by the Prime Minister
John Major, between -- very important to confirm the completion of
the single market. And simply I recall that the US-EC trade
represent now over $200 billion of dollar U.S.
And even if the Prime Minister has spoken on GATT, it is
very important that I join to him to say that on GATT the EC and the
U.S. share common interests. Their common responsibility means that
they send a good signal to the world economy.
The EC has made not without difficulties, as you know, a
very substantial contribution. We hope that others will show the
same degree of openness. We should walk together to achieve soon a
global and balanced agreement in Geneva. Thank you.
