From left: Dwayne Andreas, Anna Krawczuk, President Leonid Kuchma and Vice President Albert Gore. Also seated at this table were Mrs. Gore, Mrs. Kuchma and Mrs. Andreas. PRESIDENT KUCHMA: Mr. President, Mrs. Clinton, ladies and gentlemen. It’s a great honor and great responsibility to address you now at this place. And I am grateful to Mr. President and the people of the Uni ted States for this possibility. This beautiful lawn in front of the White House has got a specific feature, the words pronounced here belong to the whole of the world history and mankind. Understanding and taking it into account, I would like the main thing all of us present here witness a great process — the process of changes of the whole civiliza tions. An epoch of the global confrontation of two polit ical systems with enormous military risk and economic wastefulness is over. We are lucky that an attempt of expansion of total itarian political structures to assault against the human rights values and freedoms of civilization was a failure. It was not the West who conquered, who gained victory, but that was the victory of the model of life which appreciates, most of all, a human being, its personality, and gives space for its self-realization. It is a special pleasure for me to say this in the Uni ted States of America, the great country where a human being has conquered its place not only from nature, but from politics, and with set hopes to become good and reliable partners for the United States in its efforts to transform the old — (inaudible) — into the era of victory of democratic values, civilization and high responsibility of states for the destiny and well-being of their peoples. Today, they say that Ukraine is a poor country. We are not a poor country, we are a young country and an inexperienced one. That is why we are ready to learn in the sphere of economics, politics, humanism, the best examples of other countries. This is the aim of my visit to the United States. At his time, your great President Abraham Lincoln said that he should pray so that God is on the side of his people. Mr. Lincoln replied that he would not pray for that, for it simetimes happens that people can make mistakes, and only God is always right — adding that he would pray so that his people would be with God. I am confident that both the American and Ukrain ian peoples, moving along that avenue which I have mentioned, will toe together and with God. Thank you. ’’НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ГРУДЕНЬ 1994 17
