Remarks at Wye II
Sharm Al-Sheikh - Egypt
September 4, 1999
President Husni Mubarak, President 'Arafat, Prime Minister Baraq, Madam Secretary, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am glad to be among you today to witness a rebirth of all our efforts to bring about a comprehensive peace to the Middle East.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank President Clinton and Secretary Albright for their tireless efforts and enduring faith in peace. President Mubarak played a key role in bringing about this agreement and deserves all our thanks and gratitude.
I want to congratulate President 'Arafat and Prime Minister Baraq for their courage and will to bring the conflict to an end once and for all.
About a year ago His Majesty King Hussein fought illness and took a stand for peace.
This agreement reminds us all of his spirit, his vision, his courage and his commitment to peace and I hope and pray that we do not let him down. Thank you very much.
