United States

Bush Says

It's Time For

'New World'

By George E. Condon Jr.

Copley News Service

WASHINGTON - President Bush,

calling on Americans to " imagine a new

world with a new Europe," said last night

he hopes

to

use next week's summit meet–

ing with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev

to "once and for all end the Cold War."

In a televised Thanksgiving Eve address

to the nation from the president ial retreat

of Camp David, Mr. Bush said the nation

can be thankful for the democratic revolu–

tion currently sweeping across Eastern

Europe. He hailed the changes as

"a

joyful

end to one of history's saddest chapters."

"On other Thanksgivings, the world was

haunted by the images of watchtowers,

guard dogs and machine guns," he said.

" But now the world has a new image -

reflecting a new reality - that of Germans,

East and West, pulling each other to the

top of the wall - a human bridge between

nations."
