You have been resolute in defeat and magnanimous in victory.

For over 200 years the United States and Poland have been bound by shared values and a commitment to the principles of democracy, human liberty and the rule of law.

You have defined your time.

But you also understand that the cause of freedom cannot end at your own borders, and you proved it during the war in the Persian Gulf.

May you live 100 years.

And in the process, you helped shape a new world order.

Today, 200 years later, you have returned General Kosciusko's message to the country of its birth: liberty, security, property.

We rededicate ourselves to the success of free democracy in Poland and throughout Central and Eastern Europe.

Eight years ago you were unable to visit Norway to accept the Nobel Peace Prize.

Poland is not lost but has once again been found because men like you still live.

The United States reaffirms its continued strong support for Poland's courageous program of economic reform.

You've delivered the message of freedom everywhere.

Today, I address you in the name of millions who convey their admiration and love -- the people of the United States.

Well, I think that there's some good talks there. We still have differences, as everyone knows. But let's find common ground. Let's see if we can take these historic enmities and bring them-- eliminate them. And that's what we're going to…

I do hereby proclaim the week of April 7 throughout April 13, 1991, as National County Government Week.

Well, there will be some U.N. action this week, I think, or certainly U.N. consultation is already beginning. But we've got to work out between the coalition partners, get common ground between the coalition partners. But broadly speaking…

Well, we're going to try. We've just had a meeting with our Secretary of State who had good visits in Israel and in other countries. So, we want to seize the moment. We want to go forward now while there is this feeling of good will and…

Please do. Dr. Wiesel. Mr. President, you have given out so many pens, I think the time has come for you to receive one. [Laughter]

No. We just met for 45 minutes, and then we'll be meeting again, either today or tomorrow. But I responded to a question down either in Bermuda or in Martinique, where I said that there is reason to be hopeful. And I think he found not…
