YOU SEE, I WANTED TO CONVEY TO YOU THAT ·. YOU HAVE THE PRAYERS AND SUPPORT OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE~- INDEED, OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. I WANTED TO CONVEY TflIS SUPPORT TO YOU, THAT YOU MIGHT IN · TURN CONVEY IT TO OTHERS, SO THAT ALL THOSE WORKING FOR HUMAN RIGHTS THROUGHOUT THIS VAST LAND -- FROM THE URALS TO KAMCHATKA, FROM THE LAPTEY SEA TO THE CASPIAN~- I MIGHT BE ENCOURAGED, AND TAKE HEART. 000 HELSINKI FIN lJALUTEC 479 '88 5-28 14:43 PAGE 01 i ; -. •

THE UNITED STATES VIEWS HUMAN RIGHTS AS FUNDAMENTAL -- ABSOLUTELY FUNDAMENTAL -­ TO OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SOVIET UNION AND ALL NATIONS.

FEWER DISSIDENTS AND BELIEVERS HAVE BEEN PUT IN PRISONS AND MENTAL HOSPITALS. AND IN RECENT MONTHS, MORE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PERMITTED TO EMIGRATE OR REUNITE WITH THEIR FAMILIES. THE UNITED STATES APPLAUDS THESE CHANGES.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION. IN THE WORDS OF THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS, "EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF THOUGHT, CONSCIENCE AND RELIGION." I'M HOPEFUL THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT WILL PERMIT ALL THE PEOPLES OF THE SOVIET UNION TO WORSHIP THEIR CREATOR AS THEY THEMSELVES SEE FIT, IN LIBERTY. FREEDOM OF SPEECH. AGAIN IN THE WORDS OF THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS, "EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF .OP.INION AND EXPRESSION. 11 IT IS MY FERVENT HOPE FOR YOU AND YOUR COUNTRY THAT THERE WILL SOON COME A DAY WHEN NO ONE NEED FEAR PRISON FOR OFFENSES THAT INVOLVE NOTHING MORE THAN THE SPOKEN OR WRITTEN WORD.

WE'RE ENCOURAGED AS WELL THAT THE NUMBER OF THOSE PERMITTED TO LEAVE FOR SHORT TRIPS -­ OFTEN FAMILY VISITS ... HAS GONE UP. AND YET THE WORDS OF THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION GO BEYOND THESE STEPS: "EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO LEAVE ANY COUNTRY, INCLUDING HIS OWN, AND TO RETURN TO HIS COUNTRY." IT IS OUR HOPE THAT SOON THERE WILL BE COMPLETE FREEDOM OF TRAVEL .

SUCH CASES MUST BE RATIONALLY REVIEWED. FINALLY, INSTITUTIONAL CHANGES, TO MAKE PROGRESS PERMANENT. THE RELEASE OF POLITICAL PRISONERS IS IMPORTANT -- BUT THE UNJUST STATUTES ON WHICH THEY WERE CONVICTED ARE STILL ON THE BOOKS, AVAILABLE TO BE .USED AGAINST OTHERS. THIS MUST CHANGE. I'VE COME TO MOSCOW WITH THIS SHARPLY DEFINED HUMAN RIGHTS AGENDA BECAUSE, AS I SUGGESTED, IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT THIS IS A MOMENT OF HOPE.

AND THAT IN ORDER FOR THE INDIVIDUAL TO CREATE, HE MUST ·HAVE .. A SENSE OF JUST THAT -- HIS OWN INDIVIDUALITY, HIS OWN SELF-WORTH.

JUST AS THE INVADING ARMIES COME INTO SOUTHERN INDIANA, THE QUAKER FARMER IS APPROACHED BY TWO OF HIS NEIGHBORS. ONE IS ALSO A QUAKER WHO, EARLIER IN THE STORY WHEN TIMES ARE PEACEFUL, DENOUNCES VIOLENCE AND VOWS NEVER TO LIFT HIS HAND IN ANGER. BUT NOW THAT THE ENEMY HAS BURNED HIS BARN, HE xs-oN HIS WAY TO BATTLE AND CRITICIZES HIS FELLOW QUAKER FOR NOT JOINING HIM IN RENOUNCING HIS RELI&IOUS BELIEFS. I

PRESIDENT'S HELSINKI ARRIVAL STATEMENT

Mrs. Reagan and I are looking forward to our stay in Helsinki. We were delighted to accept the invitation of President Koivisto to come here to experience for ourselves the hospitality for which Finland is so well known around the world.

Helsinki is, of course, a most appropriate city to visit on this trip. This is the year in which we are celebrating the 350th Anniversary of the arrival in the United States of the first Finnish immigrants. It is a special pleasure to come here during this Year of Friendship between our two countries.

Helsinki is also the city where the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation was signed. Finns should take great pride in what their country has contributed to the CSCE process and in the manner in which Finland has fulfilled the obligations undertaken by the signatories.

My thanks to all those who have worked so hard to make this visit to Helsinki possible. 0081S

PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT FOR ARRIVAL CEREMONY AT PALACE

It is a great pleasure and honor for Mrs. Reagan and me to be welcomed here in Helsinki. It is particularly gratifying to be here during the Year of Friendship between the United States and Finland, a year during which we are celebrating the 350th anniversary of the arrival of the first Finnish settlers in North America and the many contributions that Finnish-Americans have made to the United States.

Our friendship is founded upon shared values. Both our societies place a high value on the individual and the human rights to which each individual is entitled. This common starting point has led both countries to develop democratic forms of government and economies that prosper on the basis of individual initiative. These common approaches underlie our cordial relationship.

I would like to thank President Koivisto for his invitation to visit your beautiful country. I am looking forward to an opportunity to share views with him and with other senior officials on subjects of mutual concern to our two countries. Finland plays a role in the world community larger than its size. This role is based in part on Finland's neutrality and independence for which the United States Government has the highest respect. Americans remember the courage with which Finland defended its independence and way of life almost half a century ago. I feel a personal respect for those Finns whose sacrifices then preserved the foundation upon which present-day Finland stands.

In today's world, the Finnish people and their Government are always ready to take a hand in the real work of ensuring peace and security for all countries. Finns should be proud to see their troops serving with the United Nations peacekeeping forces in the Middle East and with the UN good offices mission in Afghanistan. We welcome these contributions to peace.

Later today I will have the honor of addressing the · Paasikivi Society in Finlandia Hall, the site of the signing of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. The Final Act and the CSCE Process which it initiated are two achievements that should make each citizen of Finland very proud. These accords established a set of standards for the behavior of states toward each other and toward their own citizens. They have contributed to the protection of human rights and to the process of military confidence-building throughout the region. They facilitate the bilateral negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union. If a balanced outcome can be achieved at the CSCE's Vienna - Meeting which reflects real progress on human rights, the CSCE process may also provide a framework for new talks on conventional security in Europe.

My thanks to all those who have worked so hard to make our visit to Finland possible . 0081S

STATEMENT ON DEPARTURE FROM HELSINKI

Mrs. Reagan and I have enjoyed very much our visit to Finland. Now we know first hand why your country is famous for its extraordinary hospitality to visitors.

This stop has also been a useful one for me because I had an opportunity to exchange views with President Koivisto and other Finnish leaders . I greatly appreciated the opportunity to hear their unique perspective on international affairs in this region of the world.

My thanks also to the Paasikivi Society for their invitation to speak at Finlandia Hall. It was a great honor for me to deliver an address to such a prestigious group at the same site where the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe was signed.

I hope that my visit has cal l ed attention to the cordial relations that exist between the United States and Finland and to our celebration of 350 years of Finnish-American Friendshi p during 1988. If so, then the hard work done by so many peopl e to make this visit possible was well worthwhile . 0087S President Reagan's Suggested Remarks Arrival Ceremony at Moscow/Vnukovo Airport (Met by Andrey Gromyko, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet) Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, It is with a tremendous sense of accomplishment and anticipation that I begin this long-awaited visit to your country. Accomplishment -- because since November 1985, when General Secretary Gorbachev and I first agreed to exchange visits to each other's countries, we have built up an impressive record of achievements, in all areas of our relations, that will contribute to a safer world. Anticipation -- because our work has only just begun. And in our talks here this week we will be looking toward the future, struggling to bridge the gaps in our different ways of thinking, adding new building blocks to a stable relationship that we can sustain over the long term. Nothing could be a more poignant reminder of the importance of this effort than to stand here, on Russian soil, which gave up so many of her sons·and daughters in the great war our two countries fought as allies more than 40 years ago. Tomorrow is Memorial Day in America -- the day when we honor our own men and women who sacrificed their lives to restore peace and to advance human liberty for all peoples. It is my hope that the work Mr. Gorbachev and I will do this week will be a worthy memorial to those honored dead, that we will contribute to the fulfillment of their dream and ours of a world where all peoples can raise their families in freedom and in safety.

Thank you. Drafted : EUR/SOV: EBSutt:?.?0087S 5/11/88 x6735 Cleared: EUR/SOV: JMEvanS\lv PA: POakley 0071S

President Reagan's Suggested Remarks Response to General Secretary's Greeting at St. George's Hall, Kremlin Palace

Thank you, Mr. General Secretary, for those kind words of welcome. We have traveled a long road together to reach this moment from our first meeting in Geneva in November, 1985, when I invited you to visit me in Washington, and you invited me to Moscow.

It was cold that day in Geneva, and even colder in Reykjavik when we met the following year, to work on the preparations for our exchange of visits. We faced great obstacles . But by the time of your visit to Washington last December, although we still had to grapple with difficult issues, we had achieved impressive progress in all the areas of our common agenda: human rights, regional issues, arms control, and our bilateral relations.

We signed an arms control treaty that will reduce the level of nuclear weapons for the first time in history -- by eliminating an entire class of medium and shorter-range missiles. We agreed on the main points of a treaty that will cut in half our arsenals of strategic offensive nuclear weapons. We agreed to conduct a joint experiment that would allow us to develop effective ways to verify limits on nuclear testing. We held full and frank discussions that planted the seeds for further progress. -2-

It is summer now and some of those seeds are beginning to bear fruit, thanks to the hard work we have both done since our last meeting, including monthly meetings by our foreign ministers and the first meeting of our defense ministers: o We have signed the Geneva Accords, providing for the withdrawal of all Soviet troops from Afghanistan, and have witnessed the first withdrawals. o We and our allies have completed all of the technical arrangements necessary to begin implementing the INF Treaty as soon as it is ratified. o For the next major step in arms control -- reductions in strategic offensive weapons - - our negotiators in Geneva have produced hundreds of pages of joint draft treaty text, recording our areas of agreement . o Our new Nuclear Risk Reduction Centers have begun their transmissions of routine notifications to reduce the r i sk of conflict . o Our scientists are installing the equipment for our joint experiments to verify limits on nuclear testing. -3-

o Our experts have held broad-ranging discussions of human rights, and important steps have been taken in that area.

o We have greatly expanded our people-to-people exchanges since we signed our agreement in 1985. (I hope you will agree with me that more of our young people need to participate in these exchanges, which can do so much to lay the basis for greater mutual understanding in the next generation.)

I could go on -- the list of our accomplishments is so long that time does not permit me to mention everything. But I think the message is clear. Despite our many differences, despite the inevitable frustrations we have encountered, our hard work has begun to produce results.

Mr. General Secretary, I have come here to continue that work. We both know it will not be easy. We both know that there are tremendous hurdles yet to be overcome. But we also know that it can be done, because we share a common goal: strengthening the framework we have already begun to build for a stable relationship that we can sustain over the long term a relationship that will bring genuine benefits to our own peoples and to the world.

Thank you. -4-
