Suggested Welcoming Remarks - - President Caldera
I am pleased and honored, Mr. President, to welcome you and
your party to Washington, Pleased because this gives me the oppor-
tunity to renew our personal ties which date back more than a decade.
Honored because you come as a representative of Venezuela, a
country with which the United States has enjoyed a close and friendly
relationship since the formation of the Republic of Gran Colombia
under the leadership of Simon Bolivar. Just two days ago, in fact - -
on May 31 - we marked the 134th anniversary of the coming into
force of the Treaty of Peace, Friendship, Navigation and Commerce
between our two nations.
In my speech last October on relations in the Hemisphere, I said
that the partnership among the countries of the Inter-American system
"should be one in which the United States lectures less and listens
more. 11 I intend to follow my own prescription in our conversations,
and I hope to have ample opportunity to hear your views on hemispheric
matters. I attach special importance to your counsel because you
speak for a proud, progressive and democratic nation. Venezuela's
record of social and economic progress during the past decade,
achieved through representative institutions, is an admirable model
