 of the United States, and Mrs. Reagan. Plenty in this hemisphere, we're born of independence, movements seeking to break away from colonial power. That those who founded our two countries fought not only to be rid of domination, but also for freedom. Our histories run parallel. Both of the stories of people struggling, the people of Uruguay, are reaffirming their faith in democracy. And all of those who love liberty abroad this giant step forward. President San Guenetti, we appreciate that your official delegation includes representatives from the judicial and listening, and a healthy respect for the opinions of others, a free society. We have written transition. We should not be satisfied until all Americans, and that means every living soul from the north slope of Alaska to the tip of the air in Del Fuego live in freedom, as is their birthright. In this hemisphere, while we celebrate the progress that has been made, no one should overlook the decisive battle of the cause of human freedom now taking place in Central America, but, of course, instead, the endorphin, tyranny, and conflict. We who enjoy the fruits of liberty understand that just and lasting peace is built on freedom. Our search for freedom, we must continue to press for the negotiated solution. In this work, we must uphold our democratic values and insist that they be the basis for any agreement that drew our forefathers and mothers from the old world. Uruguay, like the United States, is a nation of evidence. They came to us as well appreciated here. You have set out to attack not just the symptoms, but the underlying causes of your country's economic problems. By protecting Uruguay's good name and credit worthiness, by avoiding simplistic solutions and quick fixes, and by strengthening your private sector, you are building the confidence of all people on April 7th. You said the state sets the direction, but it does not move the vote. The vote is moved by the private sector. This appreciation of the essential role of a profit motorist, real economic growth in four years, and there's every reason to be honest, let me just add that. As Uruguay's largest trading partner, nothing makes us happy that to see your country prosper the issues that are of importance to both of our countries. These are exciting times, and we're proud to have you here with us and thrilled that Uruguay is again in the family of free peoples. President Sankanetti. President Sankanetti. President Sankanetti. President Sankanetti. President Sankanetti. We only need co-operative partners, strong in capital and technology, with which we can work together to create a better world, guided by the same ideals of freedom that inspire that peace, and that democracy that we would like to see in all of our America. It is achieved by us, the Latin Americans, as a result of our historical commitments and our responsibilities in front of us. It will continue to add to all political efforts in favor of peace in the world, especially within our America. Peace and democracy are indisolubrious terms. We will not have one without the other. I will reaffirm here its conviction in both objectives and today, the vertical column of its... It is a great honor for any Uruguayan citizen to come to this house. There are strong reasons for this. Our philosophies of the peoples of the world ever since. If this is true for any Uruguayan citizen, how much more so is it true for someone like me, arriving here as the president of the Republic and representing a people that has, by its vote, entrusted me with the difficult task of peacefully guiding our Republic back into play of its institutions and rights, with vile and fee-obsessed that in some cases hamper and in other cases actually cancel out the fruits of our own internal efforts. We must respond to the legitimate and urgent call of our people to recover their past standard of living and constructively. We know that public opinion is very important in this democratic nation and will therefore understand our positions. We are also confident that your government will take them into consideration when we look together at ways of improving our relationship and overcoming the consequences of these problems. Either international trade is freed or we must all resign ourselves to being locked into a new feudalism. The more powerful may survive longer, although condemned to live in an aggressive, unstable and violent world. The weaker, like us, will be sentenced to a life of mediocrity, but all of us sooner or later will be staring poverty in the face. George Washington foresaw the importance of this over 200 years ago when he said, it is in this spirit that we review your government and our friends, your people. Thank you.
