Our goal is real peace -- the triumph of freedom, not merely the absence of war.
USIA is founded on the belief, the certainty, if you will, that ideas matter, especially to this nation, a nation founded on the idea of freedom.
Now, Therefore, I, George Bush, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim:
Thank you for your warm welcome, and much more important than that, for what you do.
