PRESIDENT WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON
REMARKS WELCOMING PRIME MINISTER ROMANO PROD I
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON D.C.
MAY 6,1998
Mr. Prime Minister, Mrs. [Flavia] Prodi, members of the Italian delegation: welcome to the
White House and welcome to the United States. Hillary and I are delighted to see you again, and
we look forward to a productive meeting.
The people who named America will always have a special place in our hearts. Every
schoolchild knows that Columbus crossed the Atlantic in 1492, soon to be followed by the other
great Italian explorers, Amerigo Vespucci, John Cabot, and Giovanni da Verrazano. But that
was only the beginning of a relationship that has flourished for centuries, bringing us together in
new ways, generation after generation.
Today, Italians are again expanding the world's horizons. Italy stands at the forefront of the new
Europe, leading efforts to promote peace and unity throughout the continent - from economic
and monetary union to military cooperation. In recent months, Italy has helped to maintain order
in Kosovo and restore democracy to Albania. Italian and American troops patrol alongside each
other in Bosnia, and we will continue to work together to ensure stability throughout
southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean. Our two countries have always stood ready, at a
moment's notice, to send peacekeepers to other parts of the world. And we are grateful for
Italy's hospitality toward the U.S. forces working to preserve peace in Europe.
�2
Mr. Prime Minister, Italy has shown great leadership in building a better future. This leadership
emanates from your example. As Italy prepares for the future, it is leaving behind the problems
of the past. Enterprise is thriving in the new Italy ... the rule oflaw prevails ... and today's
dreams are being shaped into tomorrow's reality. Together, we are building a new world ...
exploring outer space ·... fighting crime and terrorism ... restricting the spread of dangerous
weapons ... and creating a climate where goods and ideas can be freely exchanged, between our
. countries and around the world.
This week in Washington and next week at the G-8 and US-EU Summits in Europe, we will take
more steps toward building a better world- deepening the partnership between the United States
and Italy ... equipping all our people to succeed in the global economy ... combating new threats
to the security of our citizens. We look forward to meeting here again a year from now, when
the NATO alliance celebrates its fiftieth anniversary. Beyond that, we look forward to the
countless new explorations and discoveries the U.S. and Italy will navigate together ... proud of
our common heritage ... proud of our transatlantic solidarity ... proud of a new partnership for a
new century.
The great seal of the United States contains the words novus ordo seclorum - a new order for the
ages. Virgil's words were written in Italy more than two thousand years ago, but they are given
fresh meaning whenever a new generation of leaders find the courage to build a peaceful new
order for golden ages yet to be built.
Prime Minister Prodi, welcome to the United States of America.
