President Kuchma was then hosted to a luncheon at the State Department by vice-President Gore, after which the two met privately. The two presidents returned to the public eye in the Old Executive Office Building in the late afternoon to sign a charter for American-Ukrainian Partnership, Friendship and Cooperation, and a Bilateral Civil Space Agreement, the first ever agreement on space coopera– tion between the U.S. and Ukraine. There Foreign Economic Relations Minister Serhiy Osyka and Commerce Secretary Ron Brown signed a Joint Statement on Expansion of Trade and investment. During a joint press conference that focused largely on Mr. Clinton's domestic woes, Mr. Kuchma com– menied that his meeting with President Clinton was a "constructive, business-like meeting," and that the sign– ing of the numerous agreements "removed the last barri– ers to the development of Ukrainian-American rela– tions." Mr. Kuchma echoed Mr. Clinton's stance on NATO by stating that what countries and when they will be admitted to NATO is not as important as the manner in which European security is achieved. "Security on the European continent should be pursued not in a revolu– tionary way but in an evolutionary way. it is not who, but what - we cannot have a new Berlin Wall," he said. The Ukrainian president had begun his day at Arlington National Cemetery, where he laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns to the roar of a 21-gun salute and the strains of the Ukrainian and U.S. national anthems.

However, the international community, during the whole period following Ukraine's attainment of its independence, has concentrated attention on primarily one subject: whether Ukraine will become a non-nuclear state or take another option, that of appropriating the nuclear weapons inherited from the USSR as a reliable means of deterrence. An abstract answer to that question was too simple — to eliminate and forget about it! But we in Ukraine had a great number of other questions: how to ensure Ukraine's security, who and at what expense would eliminate the nuclear weapons, how to compensate labor and material invested by the Ukrainian people in pro– ducing these weapons, what would be the fate of thou– sands of servicemen and their families who used to maintain these weapons, and many other questions. І emphasize this because time was required for us, in addition to understanding, tact and patience on the part of the international community, in order to find answers to the aforementioned questions. Recently Ukraine has demonstrated to the whole world its adherence to its own commitments as well as its consistency and reason paving the way to non-nuclear status. This issue has been finally resolved. On November 16 the (Parliament) of Ukraine approved the decision to accede to the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The UNA and you Young UNR'ers interest rates on the rise As mortgage loan interest rates have risen, Americans' power to buy homes has fallen during these last few months. According to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Loan Corp., rates averaged 9.19 percent in the first week of November. This is the highest it's been in more than three years. An increase from 7 percent to 9 percent would amount to Si44.29 more per monthly payment on a Si25,000 mortgage loan. As the Federal Reserve continues to boost short-term interest rates, (374 of a point this time - the biggest increase since 1981), lenders immediately pass along higher costs to consumers and businesses. Long-term interest rates also are moving in the same direction. Homeowners who are heavily leveraged into adjustable-rate mortgages and7or home equity loans are going to have a more difficult time meeting their higher monthly payments. On the other hand, those consumers who locked into fixed- rate mortgages last fall and this spring are now happy they did.
