Cancer Conference
5 -
But now we have converted Fort Detrick into a laboratory for
research on cancer -- dedicated to the preservation of life.
I remember very well my visit to Fort Detrick just one year ago.
I remember saying on that day that Fort Detrick should now be
thrown open to scientists from all over the world.
And then last month, as a part of our new cooperation in medi-
cine, the Russian Minister of Health came to the United States -- and
one of the places he visited was Fort Detrick, Maryland.
There he stood -- in a place which just a few years earlier had
been the symbol of a closed world, a world of suspicion and confron-
tation -- in a place where some of the best minds of our nation had
prepared for a possible war against his nation.
Now this same place had become a symbol of an open world,
a world of cooperation and trust. It had become a meeting ground
where the best minds from every nation can work together to save life
everywhere on earth.
We still have a long way to go -- but our goal is clear. And for
me, its symbol is Fort Detrick, Maryland welcoming the Russian
Minister of Health.
This is the kind of world we must leave for our children --
