 This concludes the honor. It is an honor today to welcome you to the United States. It was 26 years ago when the last Argentine president came to Washington on a state visit. Your country was the first on the continent to ban slavery. This was no miracle incident, Mr. President. Our forefathers here and in your country share the challenge of turning a willingness into a modern nation. Today, we continue to share the challenge of maintaining the economic growth and development so vital to the well-being of our peoples. Keeping a national economy a certainty. Inflation and economic decline set us straight. But we challenged our efforts in defining easy and short-term assets. Look at its own pay. Yet friends can and should help one another. The United States will do what we can to assist you in your efforts to improve the economic conditions of your country. Economic development. Democracy frees the spirit of man to achieve, to build, and to create. It's the only system consistent with the decent and humane values at the heart. It's more than a form of government. It's a way of life. An ideal which seems to be a process yet is an end in itself. It's not the easterly authority are not written. They are realized. They are not decreed. They are created. They are made by education. They are not made at 90% of this hemisphere's population lives in democracies or in countries in transition to democracy. This trend, however, is threatened by freedom of speech, religion, and press. Actively opposed the former dictatorship. And the Nicaraguan people are joining the ranks of the freedom fighters. Nearly three times as many men are fighting the communists right now, as the Sandinistas had fighting Samosa before. San Martin, a great freedom fighter of his day, once said, In the last corner of the earth that I might find myself, I will be ready to sacrifice my existence for liberty. As an elected representative of your people, and as a man committed to the political. Mr. President, I wish to begin my statement by expressing my gratitude to the warm reception you are granted to the President of the All Argentines. For all the time, on a real wave of democracy on the land of Russia. This is our hope. People of Latin America actually live in that respect and actually enjoy the prologues and liberty that people of the United States enjoy. This is what the Washington, North of San Martin, South of Washington, North of Washington, South of Washington, Argentina. And you also do economic results so necessary to us what you do social democracy. That's why right next to hope, fear, our democracy is having a hereditary impact. This is having hereditary, very difficult charges in the economic order. That, Mr. President, is, no doubt, one of the big differences between our two countries. He also had to have the possibility to live a dignified life. In our countries, it doesn't reach in the 40%. And to ask from our peoples in that precise sector a bigger effort. Of course, then we would mean that the, then my, that's why, Mr. President, that's been very important for me to listen to your welcome and remarks. Because you've shown a deep understanding of our country. At the beginning of this total of the United States, peace. I usually don't do that. Mr. President, we want to talk. We want to talk to Mr. President about the 40% of them. That's a decision maker. And there is one word on here, which is I won't use today. I won't use today. In the end, it's a great pleasure to welcome you here. I'm all of you. Thank you.
