 a presencia de supaña e este encuentro es un testimonio de la amistad que existe entre nuestras dos naciones. Esta é a nossa primera visita oficial a España, aunque breve, estoy seguro de que vuestra estancia entre nosotros os permitirá apreciar a vitalidad del mundo español e de las instituciones democráficas que libremente se habrá dado. Para hacerlo, España recobrou su tradición secular para su Polónia. Fue en Cádiz también, donde se acuñó el término liberal, que habría de ser el fundamento que os hombres de Cádiz partieron de la vida e la enlazaron con las ideas proclamadas por a Constitución de Imbresión que habían promenjado a hacerse presentes. Ideas de la revolución americana alimentar nos indovadores del Constitucionalismo español plasmada o oriente, el libro de Hamilton, alimentó a corriente federalista español e na construcción preso a España, siempre hubo en América hombres de sensibilidad mal profundo sentido político que resistiéndose a las meras inercias de la política de poder a lentar-me a la construcción del cambio en mi país. A esta tradición americana, de defensa de las libertades, nuestro reconocimiento y homenaje faltan muy pocos años o escurrimiento da América. Con este motivo deseo expresar hoy mi confianza en que las iniciativas que en este contexto hemos cometido junto culminen felizmente en 1992 en lo que ahora son os Estados Unidos e muy especialmente en un Estado que os es muy próximo, California, porque las relaciones tienen un rico contenido espiritual e cultural, el español. De aquí, de los vínculos de todo orante español seguimos os abatares de aquellos. Estamos convencidos que, en el horizonte de fin de siglo, el destino de las naciones ispanoamericanas sean superados con reformas profundas llevadas a cabo democráticamente e conforme a las normas del Estado de derecho. Sin libertad, non cabe justicia o acontece que la búsqueda de esta se confunde con la justificación de la opresión, pero es igualmente irrecutable que sin el afuente su plena realización. De este modo, el pueblo español ingresará definitivamente en ese conjunto de naciones que forma la Europa democrática nos principios de libertad e de respeto de los derechos individuares. Nuestra visita a España es al mismo tiempo unha etapa de la gira que sientan en la concepción del hombre como ser perfectible na libertad. Que caracteriza nuestra civilidad. Los Estados Unidos han sido fundacionalmente el refugio de la libertad individual. Este ámbito para la libertad que nos instituiu la América de los Padres Fundadores es el cimiento de la notable creatividad americáreo de las ideas liberales de Europa e inaugurároo la época contemporánea, este asiento para la civil. En estos esfuerzos de congreso científico e técnico han contribuido os investigadores e técnicos españoles acogidos generosamente en vuestras universidades e en los avanzados centros de investigación. Concretamente, sin renunciar al sueño de unidad europea mi país permanecerá fiel a sus obligaciones libremente aceptadas e a las decisiones que adopte sobre las modalidades de nuestra aportación a la seguridad occidental. Precisamente, el pueblo español ha hecho también de la reconciliación la piedra angular de su convivente, su vocación democrática, sus recursos materiales y su variada riqueza. Estas habilidades de los capítulos, que son menos significativas para o geniño de Columbus e a visión sobre los desafíos seriosos e el camino de la liberación a los líderes talentos que han aparecido en los pueblos españoles en esta ocasión. Imaginante renuncia que el presidente y los líderes de España que han aparecido en esta ocasión han traído a España cala e grazada a la familia de naciones democráticas. Los americanos admirarán a ti e admirarán tus grandes xifras. Habiendo sido republica por 200 años nos americanos sabemos que el mundo de liberación no es siempre fácil pero hay cada razón a ser optimista esencialmente proclamada en Cervantes-Don Quixote unidad riqueza absurdo. After seeing your nation make dramatic and fundamental change remaining ever true to the human values at the core of representative government no one can doubt that Spain indeed has a stout heart and that because of it your luck will be good. Because of the efforts of your generation Spain is no longer isolated on the Iberia Peninsula but is now a vital and growing influence among the free nations of the world. New doors of opportunity are opening especially on the area of trade and international investment. During these last 40 years the western nations have enjoyed tremendous benefit from a relatively free and open trading system. That's why I'm pleased to see Spain becoming a full partner in the European community moving to further open the door of economic cooperation with other free countries. Your majesty we would like to work with Spain to keep international trade open and fair. America believes in free people free markets and free trade increasing the level of exchange between countries serves the interest of oil. Trade and investment create a healthy interdependence between free peoples expand opportunity and unleash new potential. The benefits of trade have been particularly clear as we've seen a vigorous American economy help serve as an engine for progress pulling the economies of Europe into better times. Of course ultimately whether a country prospers will depend on its domestic policies. Each nation must follow its own path but I hope the progress that we've made in the United States might encourage others. Instead of trying to redistribute existing wealth we've tried to produce more. Instead of imposing more controls and regulations we've sought to free our people's entrepreneurial spirit instead of channeling more of our resources into bureaucracy we've sought to expand private investment. The result has been solid growth and low inflation almost 8 million new jobs have been created in the United States in the last two years. Your Majesties, the United States has much for which to be grateful to Spain. Our South West was settled by pioneers from your country and a rich Hispanic heritage is still part of our world life in my adopted home state of California. Today as Spain takes its place with the Democratic nations I predict the relationship between our peoples will grow and bear fruit as never before. One of the reasons for my visit to the European continent is to commemorate the end of the Second World War that monstrous conflagration that engulfed much of the world. It would be easy to talk in times like this of the heroism of battle and the sacrifice of those who died. When instead I've tried to mark this as an anniversary of the beginning of 40 years of peace. For free people peace is the most precious possession second only to the preservation of their own liberty. Peace magnifies the joys and meaning of life. It permits the resources of a country directed to those productive endeavors that add to well-being and happiness. Everyone is better off when the blessings of peace are enjoyed by a free people. As Cervante said, when God sends the dawn he sends it for all. But peace doesn't happen on its own. All free people share the responsibility of maturing it, nurturing it, investing in it, being careful thought and doing what is necessary to preserve it. As is fitting, the choice about Spain's contribution to western security is wholly in Spain's hands. Your decision will be respected. I would say only that the people of the United States would be proud to have the people of Spain continue to stand beside us and the other members of the alliance in our collective noble effort to preserve the peace and protect human liberty. We believe the peace can and will be preserved by the collective strength of the western democracies. And if we are strong, we need not be afraid to negotiate with any potential adversary. The United States is now engaged in armed talks in Geneva. We are seeking not just arms control, but an actual reduction in the level of nuclear arsenals. I'm pleased to note that Spain is part of the western efforts in Stockholm to negotiate a lesson of the tensions between east and west. The United States is also moving forward on a research project that could use new technologies to diminish the threat of nuclear missiles and lead mankind into a happier and safer time. Our strategic defense initiative is aimed at finding new means for deterring war. It's not based on the threat of nuclear retaliation, but on the contribution of a non-nuclear defense system that would be capable of destroying missiles and incapable of threatening people. By making missiles less of a threat, we hope to make them easier to give up and thus make arms reduction agreements more likely. Ortega Egesit once wrote, Nations are formed and are kept alive by the fact that they have a program for tomorrow. For the program for the future of the western democracies is peace, progress and freedom. Today, Spain is moving forward in a voyage of freedom and democracy every bit as courageous as that of Columbus. Spain can be confident of the outcome but the future is on the side of the free. Those that are today beyond the imagination of dictators and tyrants will be conceived of and made reality by free men and women. This we can count on. It is when people can speak and pray, work for themselves, live without fear of repression, that the most potent force on this planet is energized, the genius and power of free people under God. Your Majesties, today, let us be grateful for that level of liberty deeply rooted in the soul of our people. Yes, this fire will write the way to a future more glorious than the golden age of yesteryear. We're building a new world of peace, progress and freedom. And I now ask all of you to join me in a toast to his majesty the king and to the people of Spain or champions of democracy.
