 It's a great pleasure to be here. Yes, thank you. We're honored to be here. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. It's a great pleasure. Thank you. Thank you. We'll do the church. We'll be shy. It's not too much. We'll do the church. We'll do the church. We'll do the church. I'm supposed to be singing a song. You're supposed to sing a song. Yes, you may be singing a song. He said that to him. He said, I tell them the truth. He don't even think it's right. We're about to leave it. The arrived restaurant. Yes. The Canadian number agree. We're 30 years from now. That's too much to admit. I am. I'm athchaged. 30? Well, as the President has been, it's a long time down the dance. It's a sport you've got, so I draw a castage. They have to win at the last 21 games of the season without losing one. And they have to see the record in baseball history. In Chicago. Hmm. It'll be back home one day. Mr. President, it's early, right? So when you're not disturbed by the task reactions, negative to your speech? Never get good reviews from tasks. Mr. President, do you expect this because it has to drain them? Oh, between friends. Well, I didn't say that. Okay, guys, that's it. It's over. As part of Prime Minister Mulroney's visit to the United States, it's most appropriate to recognize our close and continuing cooperation in the pursuit of the many peaceful opportunities of space. Canada was our first international satellite partner during the early days of the space program. And that partnership has grown stronger ever since. Most recently, we watched Canada's contribution to the space shuttle perform with perfection. The remote manipulator system, better known as the Canadarm. It's been used on almost every space shuttle mission in this past April. The Canadarm retrieved the crippled Solar Max satellite and then placed it safe back into orbit after repairing it on board. And today, I'm delighted to have the opportunity to introduce Canada's first astronaut, Dr. Mark Garneau. Early next month, Mark will be aboard Space Shuttle Mission 41G and will conduct about 10 experiments in space science and technology and life science. These important experiments will help build a better tomorrow in space and right here on Earth. Mark is joined by two other members of next month's shuttle, Bob Crippen, the mission commander, and Kathy Sullivan. And Bob commanded the mission when the Canadarm was first used to deploy a satellite and was also aboard when Solar Max was retrieved and repaired. And Kathy will take the first space walk by an American woman, and I know how she's looking forward to that opportunity. Space Shuttle has opened a new era to pursue the many scientific, educational, industrial, and commercial opportunities of space. And I'm proud that Canada is an important part of this adventure. And as we work to meet the next challenge, the development of a permanently manned space station, we want Canada and all of our friends to join us. Our future can be shaped by our dreams and visions. And working together on the Space Shuttle and our space station, we can push back the frontiers of space and open the doors to discovery, opportunity, and progress. So, Mr. Prime Minister, let me close by presenting you with a photo album showing the Canadarm being used. I'm turning the wrong way, except I had to get this, didn't I? This also, it shows the Canadarm that was used on all the previous missions also. And also, we have a plaque, which I think we will just display and get to you without us taking it, not that we're not both able-bodied. We are, but this contains the U.S. and Canadian flags that were flown on previous missions when the Canadarm was being used. So please accept these as symbols of our strong friendship and our confidence in a bright future for both of our great nations. Well, Mr. President, in a recent election campaign, my party and I campaigned on a program in part of refurbishing the relationship, historic relationship of trust and friendship between the United States of America and Canada. And this implies no subservience. It invites merely a degree of maturity and understanding that our trade and our technological advances hinge upon an excellent relationship, which my government and I will always work towards improving. And I think, Mr. President, the indication of that in the past is the joint efforts that we have made in space in the peaceful pursuit of mutual objectives in that area, as we will continue to work in the peaceful pursuit of a durable peace for all mankind. And this, I think, symbolizes what two sovereign countries can do together. So, Mr. President, I am particularly proud to be here today as an object of special pride for us from Canada, who will join you and your colleagues in a very close future in a spectacular initiative. So, Mr. Garnaud and his colleagues, we all say our sincere thanks and congratulations to you, our astronauts who are symbols of accomplishment and valor and courage and unity, symbols, hopeful symbols for all mankind. Mr. President, to you and your colleagues, my thanks and to the astronauts, our warm good wishes. Thank you. Thank you. To start to design really free space, instead of having to endure the acceleration of the ground, we can start to think about constructing a space that's really adapted to living in space and working in space to be able to make it much more complex and do what we have been dreaming of and continue to maintain a repair of the standards on so that it will last the name of the year. Mr. President, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. We're looking forward to giving you a good success mark on this as well. Mr. President, just before you leave, although we're in a period of some austerity in Canada, we would like to make a presentation to you of symbolizing Canada's contribution to our joint effort. Well, thank you very much. And we would like to convey the good wishes and the pride of the people of Canada. We wish you well. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. President. There you are. Well, it was with great pleasure that we welcomed Brian Mulroney back to the White House. He was here this past June and now returns to the Prime Minister of Canada, America's neighbor, ally, and most important economic partner and great friend. I congratulated Prime Minister Mulroney on winning a decisive and historical electorate mandate from the people of Canada. As the other North American Irishman, I also wished him well in his new responsibilities. The Prime Minister and I exchanged views on a broad range of global issues. We reviewed our common search to advance our agenda for peace, particularly the search for real and equitable reductions in the levels of nuclear arms. I told him that in our efforts to build a lasting structure of peace and security, we shall continue to value the experience, the council and the participation of our Canadian allies. A healthy North American economic relationship is essential to the prosperity of our two countries. We discussed some potential ways of increasing trade and investment between us. The Prime Minister impressed upon me the importance his government attaches to environmental concerns and we intend to pursue these issues together. Frequent consultations are one of the hallmarks of the relationship between Canada and the United States. And I told the Prime Minister that I look forward to continuing the fruitful dialogue that we had today. In addition, I've asked Secretary Schultz to continue the series of very productive regular meetings that he has had with his Canadian counterparts. Even the closest of partners and allies may not always see things in exactly the same way. But we agree to keep each other's interests in mind, to keep one another informed, and to hear one another out on the issues which may arise between us. We too intend to give our neighbor the benefit of the doubt. So I thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for coming here today. And once again, congratulations on your decisive victory and à la prochaine. Mr. President, an hour ago, you and I had the great pleasure of meeting Canadian and American astronauts soon to be launched into space. No endeavor better underscores our friendship or so dramatically indicates the potential for cooperation by our two countries in the service of mankind than the peaceful use of space. Such an effort, it seems to me, demonstrates to us all the tremendous potential for improved cooperation and joint development of our two countries. Yesterday in the United Nations, you reached out to the Soviet Union with a message of peace and you invited the leaders of the world to join in what we can accomplish together. We commend you, Mr. President, for this appeal and for your leadership in this vital area. For our part, we intend to continue to seek opportunities for constructive dialogue with the Soviet Union and with Eastern European countries. We will continue to contribute, as we have in the past, ideas which may help yield results in our common search for peace and security. Our two countries have much to offer each other and I believe together to the world. President Kennedy once said that geography has made us neighbors, history has made us friends, economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. We have, in common, the longest frontier not defended in the world. We will manage together a magnificent North American heritage. We defend each other, a system of values rooted in the splendor of democratic freedoms. We have, to this day, what I hope will be a constructive dialogue and permanent one on issues as essential as bilateral. The first mission of the new government is to make an economic renewal in other words to increase exchanges, to attract new investments and to seek new markets. By instilling a proper climate to a vigorous economic growth, we want to create new jobs that will improve the soul of our fellow citizens. The principal task, Mr. President, of our new government is economic renewal, to expand trade, to attract new investment and to seek new markets. By establishing a climate for vigorous economic growth, we wish to create the new jobs that our people need and we believe deserve. We wish to mobilize our very best talents at home and to seek out new partners abroad. We feel a strong external voice is based on a vigorous domestic economy. Our talks today have focused on strengthening and indeed intensifying consultation between the executive arm of our two governments and also between the Congress and the Parliament of Canada. We want more coherence in the management of our relationship and more action in regard to our shared priorities. And so, Mr. President, we must deepen our understanding of what we share together and of the distinctive interests we have in international affairs. And I thank you, Mr. President, for your generous hospitality and for a most satisfying exchange of views. Merci.
