○ 英语演讲：remarks at the brandenburg gate ○
in the philippines, in south and central america, democracy has been given a rebirth. throughout the pacific, free markets are working miracle after miracle of economic growth. in the industrialized nations, a technological revolution is taking place, a revolution marked by rapid, dramatic advances in computers and telecommunications.
in europe, only one nation and those it controls refuse to join the community of freedom. yet in this age of redoubled economic growth, of information and innovation, the soviet union faces a choice: it must make fundamental changes, or it will become obsolete.
today thus represents a moment of hope. we in the west stand ready to cooperate with the east to promote true openness, to break down barriers that separate people, to create a safer, freer world. and surely there is no better place than berlin, the meeting place of east and west, to make a start.
free people of berlin: today, as in the past, the united states stands for the strict observance and full implementation of all parts of the four power agreement of 1971. let us use this occasion, the 750th anniversary of this city, to usher in a new era, to seek a still fuller, richer life for the berlin of the future. together, let us maintain and develop the ties between the federal republic and the western sectors of berlin, which is permitted by the 1971 agreement.
and i invite mr. gorbachev: let us work to bring the eastern and western parts of the city closer together, so that all the inhabitants of all berlin can enjoy the benefits that come with life in one of the great cities of the world.
to open berlin still further to all europe
