Together with our other partners in the Atlantic alliance, we Americans are proud to have stood beside you during your long vigil.

The initial response to that effort has been impressive.

Governments by themselves cannot deliver prosperity.

This treaty is the culmination of 6 months of negotiation among its six signatories: two German states, along with the United States, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union.

Turkey has served as a protector of peace, rallying to its friends when those friends are imperiled.

We are determined not to allow the brutal behavior of one aggressor to undermine the historic process of democratic change.

The Treaty specifies that the right of a united Germany to belong to alliances with all the rights and responsibilities arising therefrom shall not be affected by any of its provisions.

H.R. 7 excludes many of the changes proposed by my Administration and includes certain constitutionally troublesome provisions.

It is an achievement of which we can all be proud.

We will not tolerate this invasion; it will not stand.

Today Germans and Americans share the fruit of our friendship, and we join our German friends in looking to the future with hope and confidence to the new beginning this treaty will make possible.

Your presence here reminds us all of how events of the past year are producing a new partnership of nations.

I transmit also, for the information of the Senate, a report of the Department of State with respect to this Treaty.

The trade talks are the last train leaving the station, and countries throughout the world must jump aboard.

This agreement clears the way to achievement of the goal we Americans have long shared with the German people: a united, democratic, and sovereign Germany.

It has been a very great pleasure for me, and all of us -- American side -- to welcome President Ozal to the White House.

This agreement will end the artificial division of Germany and Berlin.

Let us not forget an even larger group of countries represented here will suffer from higher oil prices and other economic dislocations.

This Treaty represents a major achievement for our German allies.

This agreement will end the artificial division of Germany and Berlin, and it will restore to Germany sovereignty over all its territory and end all remaining Four Power rights and responsibilities.

Turkey has stood firm and steadfast despite the heavy burden the Iraqi invasion has placed on its own economy.

We must let farmers compete with farmers, instead of farmers competing with the deep pockets of government treasuries.

I also told President Ozal that the United States continues to support Turkey's application for membership in the European Community.

I congratulate Chancellor Kohl and the German people in both East and West Germany and in Berlin, so long divided, for keeping their dream of national self-determination ever alive.

The jury is no longer out -- history has decided.
