The Minister of Defence of the USA William COHEN: All it good will not come to an end That means
"It" and why the chief of the Pentagon puts Russia, China in one number and
Biological terrorism?.
I think, that from all set of problems which will face
Our country in the XXI-st century, today first of all it is necessary to speak about three.
The first: that occurs in Russia. The second: a role of China next century.
And the third: that to us to do with chemical, biological and cybernetic
Terrorism. Such are three main questions on which we should receive
The answer.
Concerning Russia. If to look that has occurred in the world
In total for some years, we will see, that all has exchanged the most radical
In the image. To disorder of Soviet Union all understood, that to this system
The end, that the system based on compulsion, totalitarian methods will come
Managements and fear, cannot exist eternally, that it destroys
Itself from within. The Soviet empire has been doomed to б destruction long before that
As Gorbachev has begun the policy of reorganisation and publicity. And though all of us
Were delighted to falling of this wall and disintegration of the Soviet empire, anybody from us
Should not find a consolation in demolition or washing out of economic system
Or social structure of Russia.
That occurs there today, does not respond our long-term
To interests. In the Russia today argue on its further destiny much.
Anybody from us should not support idea further sbrasyvanija
Billions dollars of our tax bearers in a black hole of institutes
Epoch of the corrupted banks and dishonest pyramids. But if the Russian
The people will manage to itself to respond, what he wishes to see the country in
Next century if he manages to tear with the past and, having turned looks in
The future, will carry out reforms in this case we should support
Those who supports such reforms, for clearing of consciousness and for
The free market. They should solve the destiny, but we should be
Are ready to help them.
We are not interested completely not in, that such country having
In thousand units of the nuclear weapon and storing it is a lot of tons of the split
Material in unprotected laboratories and in warehouses, stood on the brink
Precipices. All it good will not come to an end. There will be a risk of distribution
Chemical, biological and nuclear materials, and it as a matter of fact will be
To mean destabilization strengthening all over the world.
We should pay attention to these questions and there, where probably,
To continue cooperation with Russia on the basis of the interparty consent in
To our policy. One of most vivid examples of such cooperation
Law Nanna-Lugara, that is the law on joint reduction of threat name.
It is necessary for us to provide the further realisation of this law.
Thanking its action Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine became denuclearized
The states. Therefore we should find spheres in which we could
To co-operate on a mutually advantageous basis, and for this purpose we need to have
Support of both parties presented in the congress, and support of ours
The people.
The same it is possible to tell and concerning China. I happened time and again
In China. I can tell to you, that since time of my first visit to China
In 1978 there there were impressing changes. Then - during mine
The first visit - I saw in China only "kitel Mao Tszeduna". All men
And women carried such kiteli and looked absolutely equally - all was
Very ascetically, there were no neither hotels, nor private cars. I think, that,
Having visited there today, any of you would see absolutely other society.
There are large spheres in which we could co-operate with
China. In relations between our countries, of course, there are also contradictions,
Which arise, when speech comes about principles in which we is sincere
We believe. We support the policy offered by president Nixon of one
China. Meanwhile we still support human rights in China.
We still declare the adherence to law positions about
Relations with Taiwan. Thus, in our relations there are also areas
Cooperation, and certain problems. We should understand, where in
Relations with Russia and China the watershed between contradictions lays and
Cooperation. Therefore it is very important, that we continued to co-operate and
Did it fairly, being respectful to each other, not trying to humiliate
Other party and not doing the public statements, capable to cause a damage
To national pride and self-esteem of other party. So to us
It is necessary to spend foreign policy concerning China and other countries.
The third problem about which I have told, the terrorism is. All
We know that occurs in the world and in our own country. Was
An error to believe, that the terrorism is that occurs outside of
The United States. It is enough to recollect that has occurred in World
Shopping centre and in Oklahoma City to understand, as ours
The country is not insured from terror. We need to think of, how
To prevent terror certificates in the future. We know, that terrorists are
Cowards. And they test pleasure from suffering of the victims. And then they
Recede in the villages where hide behind skirts of women and behind backs
Carelessly playing children, feeling in safety. But their actions not
Remain unpunished. We should remind those who threatens ours
To citizens and our society that there is no such place where they could
To hide. There is no such place on the earth where long hands will not reach
Our justice and where terrorists can take cover from punishment.
Meanwhile the largest problem of the near future becomes not only
Usual terrorism, but also certificates of terror with application biological and
The chemical weapon, and also cybernetic terrorism. This problem will be
It is much more difficult to solve by means of restraint methods. Restraint methods
Work only when it is a question of terrorism, sponsors
Which the states are. But in a case with chemical and biological
The weapon it is difficult to speak about restraint, as by the moment, when it
The weapon is already applied, not so simply to establish who exactly has applied it.
Therefore methods of restraint it is not enough to prevent
Application of such weapon in the future. And in this connection we should lean
On our defensive possibilities. We should apply methods of the military man
Interventions for protection of safety of our citizens as at us in the country,
And abroad.
This problem will demand many forces, and also strengthenings of the prospecting
Activity. With this problem yet we quite consults
The country. It is a question that to counteract terrorism,
Our society should operate with an advancing. For this purpose to us it is necessary
The information from the most different sources. But than more than information we
We collect, the question on encroachments for a private life rises that more sharply, and
Today it very much pressing question. Thus, it is necessary for us
To define, what part of our personal freedom to us should be offered
To feel in safety.
We as a free society should solve this dilemma. It
Will rise with all sharpness when once again in the country will occur
Act of terrorism and the public will demand from us acceptance
Any measures. I think, that this problem faces to all of us. I want
To tell to you, that we will do the utmost to find the constructive
The decision of this problem.
I wish to finish the performance by the citation from statements of the president
Nixon. About 15 years ago he has told, that at anybody does not raise the doubts, that
America can win race of arms, and also economic and
Political competition. He has told, that actually it is a question about
Competition of political will. As he said, "in interests of the real world
We should use our force, but not admit war. Today between
The world and war the wide grey strip lies, and the struggle outcome will be
To dare basically there. The most important, that can leave in a heritage the
To descendants the present generation, is freedom. Struggle for freedom and for
The real world it is capable to switch attention of Americans from the daily
Cares on transtsedentnye concepts, with passing on eternal ".
The final sense of its statement was reduced to that safety
And stability of America are the major condition global
Safety.
(Endurances from performance of the Minister of Defence of the USA William Cohen in
The Niksonovsky centre for the world and freedom).
