We welcome the intention of the Soviet Union to move toward a democratic political system.
We believe an important step toward achieving such a treaty was made in the recent U.S.-Soviet agreement on destruction and non-production of chemical weapons.
We are determined to seize all opportunities to achieve a Europe whole and free and recognize the European Community's contribution to that effort.
We further endorse the EC's call for all states to apply IAEA safeguards on as universal a basis as possible.
The bill would: authorize numerous special-interest, low-priority, and uneconomic projects.
We salute the men and women around the world whose courage and wisdom have inspired and brought about the historic advances of democracy.
We reiterate our determination to fight terrorist assaults against civil aviation.
And together, we're called upon as allies and as friends to work toward decisions here in Houston that will bring a new stability and prosperity to the world.
Thank you for coming to Houston, and thank all who have made us feel so at home here.
