I expressed to President Gorbachev my confidence that the work we began together at Geneva in 1985 will continue under the Bush administration.
If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.
I am delighted that later today I'll have the opportunity to welcome President Gorbachev to the United States and extend to him the hospitality and good wishes of the American people.
