The best possible future would be a democratic Russia committed to the security of all of its European neighbors.

The most important thing was our agreement on the strategy for reaching out to the East.

The best strategy against this threat is to integrate the former Communist states into our fabric of liberal democracy, economic prosperity, and military cooperation.

I am confident that this Administration will continue to benefit from your talent and counsel.

President Kravchuk has continued to work on progress on previous agreements he has made.

With deep appreciation for your willingness to serve our country and with real regret, I accept your request.

This is a hopeful and historic breakthrough that enhances the security of all three parties.

I want to tell you we're going to have more discussions about this tonight at dinner.

I think we can get it if such an operation would clearly be under NATO command.

We share with you a common destiny, and we are committed to your success.

Let me say, what I want to do at this meeting—this meeting is not about air strikes.

The Partnership For Peace, I would argue, gives us the best of both worlds.

I have received your letter asking that I not resubmit your nomination to be Assistant Secretary of Defense for Democracy and Peacekeeping.

We certainly expect to have some sort of continuing defense cooperation with Russia.

Your qualifications speak for themselves.

Partnership For Peace... is a strong first step that opens the possibility of the best possible future for Europe.

We have a lot of issues to discuss.

I'm delighted to be here.
