Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Department of State Bulletin, Vol. 85: July, 1985
Nancy and I leave tonight for the eco nomic summit in Bonn and our state visits to the Federal Republic of Ger many, Spain, and Portugal. And I'll also have the opportunity to speak to the Parliament in Strasbourg, France, to mark the 40th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe and the beginning of an unprecedented period of peace and prosperity. Forty years ago, World War II was nearing its end, much of Europe lay in ruins. The destruction and terrible human losses were matched by fear and doubt about an uncertain future.
