BELGRADE: Arrival Statement
Mr. President, Yugoslav and American friends --
I have looked forward to this day since March 1978,
when President Tito invited me to come to Yugoslavia.
I am grateful to the Presidency of the Socialist Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia for renewing that invitation.
My pleasure in visiting this proud and beautiful land
is tempered by the sorrow we all feel at the passing of
President Tito. He was a great man -- one of the greatest
of the twentieth century. He was one of a small handful of
statesmen who cah truly be said to have shaped the modern
world -- and one of an even smaller handful who have shaped
it for the better. He was a man of extraordinary courage --
physical, moral, and political courage. He was also a man of
EDectrostatDc Copy Msde
for PreGervatBon Puvposas
- 2 -
imagination and of a rare kind of practical vision -- the
kind of vision that sees not only what a better world might
be like, but also how the imperfect tools we have can be used
to help build one.
President Tito's contribution to the development of a
strong, independent and nonaligne� Yugoslavia was, of course,
unparalleled. But his contribution to international peace
and stability was no less important.
It was my privilege to have worked with President Tito.
I greatly valued his counsel, which was the product of so
much wisdom and experience, and which he generously shared
with me, both face to face and through the many letters we
exchanged. I share your grief at his passing, and your
admiration for what he accomplished.
President Tito left a precious legacy -- a strong,
independent and nonaligned Yugoslavia.
- 3 -
I have come to Belgrade to assure you of the friendship
and support of the United States as you build on that legacy.
President Tito devoted a great deal of effort to forging
good relations between our two countries. Today the foundation
of those relations is firm and durable. In the past three
years, moreover, the bonds between our two countries have
grown visibly stronger -- and I am eager to work with you to
make them stronger still.
In this connection, Mr. President, I want to reaffirm
to you today the basic continuity of American policy toward
Yugoslavia. The United States supports and will continue to
support the independence, territorial integrity and unity of
Yugoslavia. The United States wishes to see an economically
prosperous and politically strong Yugoslavia. The United
States respects Yugoslavia's nonalignment and admires
Yugoslavia's constructive international role.
- 4 -
We stand ready to work closely with you to ensure the
continued development of an independent Yugoslavia. But we
know that Yugoslavia's independence is the creation not of
any outside force, but of the courage and sacrifice of the
people of Yugoslavia. And we also know that the greatest
bulwark of your independence is your own fierce determination
to defend it.
That determination is perhaps the key to the special
role Yugoslavia plays in the world. Yugoslavia was a pioneer
of nonalignment and a founder of the Nonaligned Movement.
Yugoslavia remains an important leader of that movement
today. Militarily, economically, and politically, Yugoslavia
has pursued a policy of authentic nonalignment that has won
the respect of the whole world.
Especially now -- at a time when the principles of
equality, noninterference, and territorial inviolability are
threatened -- Yugoslavia's steadfast defense of the principles
- 5 -
of the United Nations and of the Nonaligned Movement takes on
new importance. Yugoslavia can make a significant contribution
to the solution of international problems and to the further
development of detente between East and West.
The United States also wants to strengthen detente,
and we will work hard toward that end. But detente must be
based on reciprocity. It must be based on mutual restraint.
It mu�t be based on respect for the principles of sovereignty,
territorial integrity and noninterference in the affairs of
other nations. These are the same principles of international
life for which Yugoslavia has al ways struggled.
At the same time, the United States strongly believes
that efforts to reduce the chances of nuclear war must continue.
So must the effort to build an international system that
� � helpshreduce inter�nai tensions and A€lps,foster peace,
security, freedom, and economic well-being.
tlsctrostatlc Copy Msde
for Preservation PMII'posea
- 6 -
Despite the crises that beset the world today, the
United States remains committed to preserving the framework
of detente and to maintaining a dialogue between the nations
of the world. Specifically, we support arms control and
disarmament talks and negotiations wherever they can contribute
to mutual security and international stability. We also
support the Madrid Review Conference of the Helsinki Final
Act, which we feel can contribute to a full and frank review
of progress to date -- and to balanced steps forward in all
areas of the Final Act.
I am looking forward to our discussions on these and
other matters. We are eager to hear your ideas for ways in
which Yugoslavia and the Nonaligned Movement can contribute
to solving the many difficult problems the world faces.
Mr. President, our time here is short, and we have much
to discuss. But we will be building on a foundation of
- 7 -
mutual purpose. I am very pleased to be here. I bring to
you, and to all the people of Yugoslavia, the warmest good
wishes of the people of the United States.
Thank you.

SPAIN -- Toast for State Luncheon
Your Majesties, Mr. President, friends of Spain and the
United States --
This is a great moment for me -- to be here and to �
�he opportnftity � bring you and your people the warm good
wishes of the government and people of the United States of
America. It is a special pleasure because of my great personal
interest in your language and culture.
Four hundred years ago, Spain was the superpower of the
Western World, and the Spanish of that day left a legend of
vision and courage that has never been forgotten. During
that golden age, painters like El Greco and Velasquez,
and writers like Cervantes and Lope De Vega, taught the
world new ways to see and to feel. The Spanish explorers

My own State of Georgia began as a very small a-RQ.

four years you have created a vigorous, thriving democracy,
with respect for human rights, individual liberties, and
freedom of expression.
The task has not been easy. You have had to contend

costs, and with ancient and sometimes divisive internal

challenges. Yet you have succeeded brilliantly in rebuilding
old institutions and creating new ones.
The growth of Spanish democracy has been a tonic for the

negotiations for entry into the European communities because
we believe that Spain's accession will strengthen the community,
just as the community strengthens Europe.
Similarly, we hope that Spain will see its own interests
served by participating in the collective defense of the
West. However, we fully recognize that this is a decision to
be taken solely and exclusively by Spain in its own
time and in its own way. ar /7�/t??-)' �/// _?/&At? fo�/cn-/

their faith in Spain's future by their high level of investments
here in recent years. Exporters in each country have looked
to the other as an important market for their products.
r��4 What is absolutely clear is that the
1economic relationship
is of very great benefit to both countries.
Spain's concern about energy supplies is fully shared in
the United States. As you know, I took office as President
at a time when the American people still largely believed
that oil was an infinite resource. The central drama of
American public life during the last four years has been

conscioysness and then to build a viable energy policy.
The struggle goes on, but the foundations for such an energy
policy are now nearly complete. This is crucial not only to
the future of my own country, but to the broader web of
relationships of which both our countries are a part.

Our two countries also share a strong interest in democratic
evolution and respect for human rights in other parts of the
world. In Latin America we both have special ties. I appreciate
the support and wise counsel we have often received from Spain
with respect to difficult, frequently critical, situations
in Latin America and the Caribbean. We also appreciate the

The United States has special reason to applaud Spain's
emergence as a maj or partner in the unfinished tasks of peace.
Her cultural and historical ties in so many areas of the
world enable her to be a bridge between the Third World and
the West. This is especially relevant as we take up the
problems of the new decade, which in many ways will be more
difficult and dangerous than any we have surmounted before.

Today the West confronts a strategic challenge of historic
magnitude. From 1945 through the mid-1950's, we successfully
resisted Soviet expansionary power westward and eastward.
Today, the Soviet Union is thrusting southward directly in
Afghanistan, indirectly through Vietnam and Cambodia, and
elsewhere by means of foreign proxies. The challenge is
clear, and so is the question it poses for our democratic
institutions: do we permit aggression to proceed with impunity,
or do we resist encroachment which affects our common vital
interests? There is no doubt in my mind where both our
countries stand on this issue.

SPAIN: Toast for Working Supper with Suarez
I very much appreciate your warm welcome, and the
opportunity to continue the talks we began so successfully
in the White House in January. The months since then have
demonstrated graphically the need for us to keep in close
touch and, wherever possible, to coordinate our policies.
This visit gives me a chance to hear from you about your
recent meetings in the Middle East and at Belgrade, and to
share with you some thoughts arising from the Economic Summit
at Venice, and also from my visits to Rome and Belgrade. I
look forward to continuing the kind of intimate dialogue we
have established.
I would like to ask my colleagues to join me in raising
their glasses to a leader who has won a special place in

PORTUGAL -- arrival statement
I was extremely pleased to .accept the invitation of
President Eanes [pronounced Yannish] to visit Portugal on
the occasion of my trip to Europe.
Portugal and the United States have an old and valued
friendship. Our countries established diplomatic relations
more than two hundred years ago. We appointed a Vice Consul
to Ponta Delgada even before we had written our Declaration
of Independence.
Beyond our official relations, the links between our
countries have been nurtured by Portugal's greatest gift � �

Portugal and the United States are both members of a

great Alliance. That alliance�
has become more than just a
military defense pact. It reflects the basic commitment of
all its members to freedom and democracy.
Over the past six years, Americans have watched and
supported Portugal's successful struggle to build a democracy.
That struggle has given hope to believers in democratic
liberty all over the world.
For all these reasons, I am grateful for this opportunity
to visit Portugal and of being able to meet with your country's
leaders�,
As you know, I have just come from a meeting of heads
of state in Venice. The need for consultation among allies

In contrast, the peoples of both Portugal and the United

PORTUGAL: Luncheon Toast
Rick Hertzberg Draft A-2; 6/17/80 Scheduled Delivery: Thur, 6/26/80
Mr. President, let me thank you and Mrs. Eanes [pronounced
Yannish] for this lovely luncheon in this magnificent setting.
Rosalynn and I have long looked forward to a chance to visit
-tv.&.' km�,� · f � Portugal. The�visit started even before our plane landed,
as we came in over Lisbon and the Tagus river. As I looked
down on this beautiful city and its monuments, I was vividly
reminded of Portugal's rich history.
Just a few hours ago I had the chance to visit the
monastery which honors two of Portugal's greatest heroes, the
poet Camoes and the explorer Vasco Da Gama. These men, and
p�u/1 others like Ferdinand Magellan, areAhonored in America too.
Their courage and vision paved the way for the extension of a
great cultural heritage across the seas to other continents.
Portugal has reason for pride in those men. Now, five

hundred years later, we may have run out of "seas never
before navigated" Hlote 1 (camoes) q�ot� , but I have seen
that Portugal continues to be served by dedicated men.
While their task is different from that of the discoverers,
5�f �Wid /-4-'1'1141'1�1
it is no less difficult. It is to build aAdemocracy.
Portugal's democratic leaders had the courage of the
explorers in the years after the 1974 revolution. Your n�.liJn}
perseverance and capacity have been severely tested by the
stresses of the past six years -- economic crises, the
resettlement of hundreds of thousands of refugees, forging
new ties with your former colonies, and challenges to democracy
itself. But you have prevailed. You have built healthy and
vigorous democratic parties, �efended the freedom to debate
and differ, and conducted fair and free elections.

Many of you in this room have helped lay the foundations
of a lasting democracy in Portugal. You, the democratic
leaders, have personally borne the burdens of office. You
have played the role of responsible opposition. You have
organized, inspired, and led your people. Because of your
personal involvement in creating democracy, you know better
than most just how precious it is.
It is no wonder that Portugal was among the first of
the world's nations to recognize and respond to the threat
posed to democratic societies everywhere by aggression in
*state recommends dropping this, on the grounds that it would have you appearing to take sides in the current political feud between Eanes and Sa Carneiro. Jim Rentschler thinks this concern is oversensitive, and points out that Eanes is your host at this luncheon. Also, the tribute is deserved, and praise for Eanes would send a message of firm support for Portuguese democracy.

SPEECH DELIVERED BY PRESIDENT ANTONIO RAMALHO EANES AT THE
STATE LUNCHEON IN HONOUR OF PRESIDENT AND MRS. JIMMY CARTER.
PALACIO DA AJUDA, JUNE 26, 1980
Mr. President
As we receive here, today, the Head of State of the great
American Nation and Mrs. Rosalynn Carter, I am not only fulfilling
a protocolar duty and a sincere gesture of hospitality. I do this
- and I know that I am interpreting in a correct way the feelings
of the portuguese people - with the perfect knowledge that I am
paying,.· through Your Excellency, a tribute to the American people,
to whom we .are linked by a profound, solid and already old
friendship.
Our friendship is bound to interests of a perennial nature.
It is a friendship that was born, that developped.and asserted
itself among two sovereign and free peoples, among peoples that
place freedom and sovereignty as the supreme values of their
national identities.
Our friendship is reinforced also by the contribution
of the dignified and respected work of men and women of portuguese
origin in the making and greatness of the United States,
�here they are fully integrated. ,
Our friendship has its roots in the undestructible marks of
a same civilization, born in Europe, and to which the United
States brings· new dimensions and a new demonstration of greatness.
In the permanent defense of the values and ideals that were
borrt from .. that civilization which is common to us, in the
coordinated actions that assert them and in the solidarity duty
that emanates from them,lies the present proof of our frienship
as free and sovereign peoples.
It is in this common civilization, in the set of same
values which it determines, that the system of alliances to which
we· belong takes roots and finds its foundation. This system of
alliances, that assumes its full meaning through permanent conceE
tation, which is natural between democratic nations, defines an
.. /.

essencial condition for the effectiveness of world balances and
a successful deterrent to all those who wish .to disrupt them.
Only the cohesion of our system of alliances allows, at all
moments, the necessary determination,so that all the conflicts
and all the situations of tension may be solved through negot1a
tions and dialogue.
Mr. President,
Your presence in Portugal symbolizes then the permanent
friendship of a nation, eight centuries old, that reasserts today
her universalistic vocation on the basis of her natural expression
which are Europe and the Atlantic, for a young 200 years old
nation that is the fulcrum of world progress and upon .whom ,lies an
historical role bf maximum greatness in the assertion of democracy,
freedom, .. and : Human rights.
This visit, Mr. President, can thus assume its highest
meaning because there exists, today, a democratic regime in
Portugal and because our dialogue can be est�bli�hed: on the
certainty that we represent the free will of our peoples.
Today you will find a nation that, in few years, was able
to create and defend a regime of democracy and freedom, asserting
with full dignity its historical vocation of open and just rela
tions with other peoples and cultures.
Many, even at the highest international level, doubted our
possibilities of success .
But the portuguese people has proved that the full respect
for pluralistic democracy can win, even in the most adverse
internal and international conditions.
We do not underestimate t.he dangers that still threaten our demo
cracy. But we have a rich experience, that gives us sure
indications concerning the right ways to defend democratic plu
ralism.
W e will find the roads leading to concertation among demo
cratic forces that share concepts of progress - and the aims of
those that place themselves at the extremes of the national pol�
tical spectrum will thus loose their meaning.

Mr. President,
Through her history, Portugal, has built and strengthened
her independence through her own merits.
Along this apprenticeship, Portugal has constructed a
capacity for dialogue and understanding with other peoples, and
has given a valuable contribution for the formation of new nations,
whose high significance and opportunity only the political blindnes
of the dictatorship that existed before the 25th April 1974 was un
able· to understand, both..at.:the··nationallevel and in the perspective oJ
world peace.
Today, international relations are based on interdependences
that, if they are correctly understood, may turn into a fruitful
cooperation between peoples and in the construction of a climate
of peace for the coming generations.
The international crisis that are taking place in different
areas of the world urges us to serenely analyse their origin and
to increasingly strengthen the cohesion and the cooperation that
links States where democracy, freedom and respect for human
dignity are unquestionable values.
It would be dangerous if in difficult moments an exacerbate(
nacionalistic selfishness or an estrangement concerning a difficult
situation of any member of the international community, whether a
big power or a small country, would prevail.
For us, solidarity is not a vain word •
For this reason, I would like to reiterate, Mr. President,
that we accompany you and the American People, in the drama that
affects the hostages who, in Teheran, remain the victims of an
intolerable violation of Human Rights and of a complete contempt
for the most elementary rules of international relations.
No argument about any alleged litigious matter between two
countries can justify an act that offends even the principles of '
generosity and fraternity of Islam. It is urgent, then, for the
International Community to mobilize all efforts and to adopt
efficient measures for the quick solution of this problem •
. . I.
4.
In other areas, generalized regional conflicts threaten
world peace and strangle the legitimate rights of certain peoples
to choose their own destiny. At this moment, the situation in
the Middle East and in Afganistan present a particular seriousness.
The events in Afganistan have caused a situation which is
unacceptable, for it bears an assault on people's right to the
expression of their own sovereignty.
In those events there are precedents which can not be
accepted in international relations and that threaten the stability
of world balances.
Therefore, we can not but defend the efforts that might lead
to a definite and complete solution of such a critical problem.
On the other hand, in Africa, now almost totally free from
colonialism, it is urgent to solve adequately its last traces.
Due to the historical, cultural, and affective relationship
between Europe and the peoples of the african continent, it woul�
be unewcusable not to pursue a dialogue that will stimulates
economic and social development of the less favoured, and of those
that suffer from·an unequal treatment in economic exchanges,
allowing for conditions that will enable them to reach full indepen
dence and to keep autonomous positions in the field of internatio
nal relations_. T-F� this perspective does not materialize, the
convulsions and the void that will unevitably appear will be ,
another disruptive factor in the already shaken geo-political
balance.
Mr. President,
In the disturbed present context, western solidarity assumes
an increasingly higher importance. From our side, it will not be
questioned, in the same way that Portugal will stand for a complete
fulfilment of her engagements towards her allies, pursuing the
common defense of the values and principles that unite them and
justify those commitments.
Solidarity is, nevertheless, not understood by all in the
same way. We believe that only the conciliation of the different
interests, according to a standard of a reasonable good\sense, may
allow solidarity to become a concrete reality in the relations
between peoples. ../.
..
•
5.
For this reason, we defend a full use of all opportunities
that lead to the formation of efficient consensus, which can assure
the coordination of our efforts and the success of our cooperation.
In difficult moments for our democratic process, when
economic hardships threatened the fragile structure of our democra
cy, the United States provided us with a valuable and timely
assistance. Portugal will not act otherwise, within the limits
of its possibilities and of its own conditioning factors.
We are sure that Your Excellency's visit has contributed,
in a decisive way, for the strengthening of the ties between our
two countries and for a better understanding of the positions we
defend within the framework of values that we share, concerning
the major international questions and our bilateral relations.
I ask you all to accompany me in a toast for the personnal
happiness of the President of the United States and Mrs. Carter,
and for the prosperity of the American People.

d¥�e/ -- It gau,. RIC a ehaRee "te ceRfe!:" with the leaders
e--el of Spain and Portugal and � express in both
countries the admiration we Americans feel for
their remarkably successful transitions to
democracy.
Perhaps most important, at the Venice Surnrnit,.with
our friends from Canada, France, the Federal Republic of
Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, and the European
Community, we addressed the long-term problems of the
world's economy and the painful choices of the new decade.
Together, we agreed on steps to lessen even further
tJyeN the industrial world'sAdependence on imported oil, and to
cut the ties that have bound our economic growth to our
oil supplies.
All of us recognize the extraordinary
this whole issue of oil. The fact �� importance of
mest of our
problems both at home and abroad are permeated with the
smell of foreign oil. Oil dependence is th� b�g��
- 3 -
sin�e cause of inflation and unemployment in our country.
Oil politics adds an extra element of peril to dangers in
the Middle East, Iran and Afghanistan. And oil prices
further impoverish Third World countries that are far less
able to pay them than we are. For all these reasons, I
was greatly heartened by the decisions made at Venice to
cut oil imports through conservation and especially through
development of new energy sources.
�rd chojces we have to make for economic
�ecurity were the main focus of our suftlfl'lit meeting. But
M�d' our friends also made common cause :wiith- us in condemning
the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and calling for the
complete withdrawal of Soviet troops. mA�b_ 41ct:�.tt.A�
That Soviet,. inm1sion
is opposed not only by the Afghan people's struggle for
national liberation, but by virtually the entire world.
We believe a j ust and peaceful solution can be found -- one
that need not compromise the security interests of-tAR
Soviet URioR er any But, as r:Y���e& E�sctroatstlc Ccpy frifbvd®
for Preaon�SJt�on Puvpcoo.s , : .�
- 4 -
and I agreed in Venice, the Soviet troops must withdraw,
and the withdrawal must be complete.
One final word. One of the most encouraging results
of my journey was what it showed about our relations with
key friends and allies.
� k ���c..�" .)tQH.A-.
Certainly, we have�
� differences.
That isA Fi9ht and propf8.r in relations among free nations.
But there is no doubt that we all share common ideals and
goals and a common faith in the future of democracy. And
we are determined -- all of us -- to work together to assure
those ideas, those goals, and that future.
'� �s alwa¥s, Rosalynn
Aand I are very glad to be home
again. To all of you, our thanks for turning out to greet
us. You have made this, for us, a very warm and happy
homecoming.
