Bill Clinton: “Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania February 28, 1994 Thank you very much, Senator Wofford, Congressman Coyne, Mayor Murphy…”

“Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania February 28, 1994 Thank you very much, Senator Wofford, Congressman Coyne, Mayor Murphy, Commissioners Foerster and Flaherty, and my friends. I'm glad to be back in Pittsburgh. I want to thank the band for their wonderful music and the Scouts for your fine salute and your fine work, thank you. And I want you to join me in welcoming Prime Minister John Major back to the United States of America. It's funny how this trip came about. Last July in Tokyo of all places, John Major and I were sitting around at night talking, and he said, ``You know, my grandfather worked in the steel mills in Pittsburgh, and my father lived and worked here a while in the late 1800's before moving back to England.'' So I thought the next time John Major came to the United States, he ought to see America and come to Pittsburgh. I want to emphasize to all of you here in the heartland of America how important the relationship between the United States and Great Britain is. We worked together to support reform in the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the cold war, in Russia and in all those other former Communist states, to try to give democracy a chance. We worked together for a new world trade agreement to bring down trade barriers and open world markets to the products that American workers make.…”
