I really think it would be a good thing for peace.

We have no argument with the Panamanian Defense Forces.

But I just can't tell you how pleased we are to have the President of Mexico here in the White House.

Such understanding, I think, leads to trust, and such trust can lead to progress.

Let us determine to do more.

I really think it would be a good thing for peace, and I think it would be a good thing in terms of a historic relationship between our two countries that I value.

These agreements we're about to sign are symbolic of the breadth and ever-growing closeness of the United States-Mexican ties.

We want you all to feel very welcome.

I intend to appoint J. Brian Gaffney to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Federal National Mortgage Association.

I do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 1, 1989, as National Health Care Food Service Week.

And I thank you, sir, for your fantastic cooperation in this regard.

And tonight, we are honored to have you both here.

Our relations now are strong, and they must grow even stronger -- and they will.

It's never been stronger.

Today I have signed into law H.R. 1529, an Act to establish the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site in St. Louis County, Missouri.

This relationship which has been and continues to be bound by so many ties.

The number one priority: the lives of Americans.

I am proud to nominate Barry M. Goldwater, Sr., to serve on the Board of Directors of the Communications Satellite Corporation.

Your country, sir, has often extended to us that kindness for which Mexico is so famous.

White Haven will be a worthy addition to the National Park System.

I am delighted to be with you as we witness the signing of these two historic agreements.

Strong bilateral cooperation is fundamental to an effective multilateral response.

All of you from Mexico City and elsewhere, welcome!

This is a very important visit for the United States.

I think that given the anxiety and the state of the rumor mill, why, it's appropriate.
