December 4, 1985 - 10:17 AM - Remarks of the President To Fallston High School
|
|||
|
|
Students and Faculty. (Fallston, Maryland)

The President talked about his recent meeting with Gorbachev in Geneva, SDI,
|
|||
|
|
people-to-people exchanges, and having no illusions about the Soviets. The
|
|||
|
|
two paragraphs of the remarks are the following:
|
|||
|
|
*
|
|||
|
|
I couldn't but -- one point in our discussions privately with General
|
|||
|
|
Secretary Gorbachev -- when you stop to think that we're all God's children,
|
|||
|
|
wherever we may live in the world, I couldn't help but slay to him, just think
|
|||
|
|
how easy his task and mine might be in these meetings that we held if suddenly
|
|||
|
|
there was a threat to this from some other species from another planet outside
|
|||
|
|
in the universe. We'd forget all the little local differences that we have
|
|||
|
|
between our countries and we would find out once and for all that we really
|
|||
|
|
are all human beings here on this earth together.
|
|||
|
|
*
|
|||
|
|
Well I don't suppose we can wait for some alien race to come down and
|
|||
|
|
threaten us. But I think that between us we can bring about that realization.
|
|||
|
|
Thank you all. God bless you all. (Applause.)

September 21, 1987 - 11:05 am EDT -Text of Remarks by the President to the
|
|||
|
|
42nd General Assembly of the United Nations. (New York, NY)
|
|||
|
|
*
|
|||
|
|
President talked about his vision for the future, recent change in leadership
|
|||
|
|
in the Philipines, benefits of freedom, the problems in the Middle East,
|
|||
|
|
Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Nuclear arms reductions, Human Rights, and in his
|
|||
|
|
third to the last paragraph said:
|
|||
|
|
*
|
|||
|
|
In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much
|
|||
|
|
unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal
|
|||
|
|
threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly
|
|||
|
|
our differences world-wide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from
|
|||
|
|
outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among
|
|||
|
|
us? What could be more alien than war and the threat of war?
