Helping Poland rejoin the community of free nations is a task that simply cannot be accomplished by government alone.

I'm ready for serious talks, but there is no agenda.

I am glad for the opportunity to sign this historic measure and grateful to those whose vision and determination have created this occasion.

We reaffirm our support for the Afghan resistance's efforts to achieve self-determination.

I do hereby proclaim the months of November 1989 and 1990 as National Alzheimer's Disease Month.

Alzheimer's disease is a living nightmare for the millions of older Americans who suffer from it.

I urge all concerned government officials, health care and social service providers, private voluntary organizations, insurance companies, and the American public to observe these weeks with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

Continued efforts are needed to fashion a stable government responsive to Afghan people's needs.

We are interested in a political settlement in Afghanistan.

Only through a concerted effort can we ensure that the victims of this disease receive the highest quality care.

The situation inside Afghanistan is critical.

We both emphasized pursuit of democracy as a first step in the reform process.

I agree with her view of a European future that avoids protectionism.

Our joy at what is happening now is more powerful than memory.

America believes that 'liberty is an idea whose time has come in Eastern Europe.'

This holiday also marks the adjournment of Congress.

These caregivers are unsung heroes and heroines.

Change is coming swiftly, and with this change the dramatic vindication of free Europe's economic and political institutions.

Let us move beyond containment and once and for all end the cold war.

I do hereby proclaim the week of November 19 through November 25, 1989, as National Family Caregivers Week.
