\
1. Speech at Warsaw U.\
\
\"All of Europe\'s new democracies, from the Baltic to the Black Sea and
all\
that lie between, should have the same chance for security and freedom
\-- and\
the same chance to join the institutions of Europe \-- as Europe\'s old\
democracies have.\
\
\"I believe in NATO membership for all of Europe\'s democracies that
seek it\
and are ready to share the responsibilities that NATO brings.
(Applause.)\
The question of \"when\" may still be up for debate within NATO; the
question\
of \"whether\" should not be. As we plan to enlarge NATO, no nation
should be\
used as a pawn in the agendas of others. We will not trade away the fate
of\
free European peoples. No more Munichs. No more Yaltas. (Applause.) Let
us\
tell all those who have struggled to build democracy and free markets
what we\
have told the Poles: from now on, what you build, you keep. No one can
take\
away your freedom or your country. (Applause.)\....\"\
\
\"I want to thank Poland for acting as a bridge to the new democracies
of\
Europe, and a champion of the interests and security of your neighbors,
such\
as the Baltic states, Ukraine, Slovakia. You are making real the words:
\"For\
your freedom and ours.\"\....\
\
\"The Europe we are building must include Ukraine, a nation struggling
with\
the trauma of transition. Some in Kiev speak of their country\'s
European\
destiny. If this is their aspiration, we should reward it. We must
extend\
our hand to Ukraine, as Poland has already done with such
determination.\"\
\
2. Bush-Kwasniewski joint statement:\
\
\"Poland and the United States reaffirm their support for future
Ukrainian\
integration into Western institutions as a solid base for Ukrainian\
sovereignty, independence, free market economy and civil society. We
pledge\
to work with our allies to this end, and call on Ukraine\'s leadership
to\
rebuild a consensus for the reforms needed to achieve this goal.\"\

\
3. Bush-Kwasniewski news conference:\
\
\"The President and I talked about how NATO must continue to enlarge,
to\
increase Europe\'s security. We talked about the challenges and
opportunity\
NATO faces in its relations with Russia and with neighbors in
transition,\
like the Ukraine\....\"\
\
\"If you believe in a Europe whole and free and secure, a good place to
make\
that case is right here. And so, you bet, we talked about Poland\'s
important\
role, and it\'s an incredibly important role. We spent time talking
about the\
Ukraine, as well. Poland has played, thanks to the President\'s
leadership, a\
very important role in the Ukraine. The Ukraine is a country in
transition.\
\"And Poland and the United States and other nations in Europe must work
with\
the Ukraine to help Ukraine make the right decisions and right choices
for\
the future. And those decisions are freedom and democracy and open
markets\
\-- the very same values embraced by Ukraine\'s neighbor, Poland. I\'m
proud of\
the accomplishments of the President, and proud of the accomplishments
of\
this great people.\"\
