| July 6, 2008 President Bush Participates in Joint Press Availability with Prime Minister Fukuda of Japan Windsor Hotel Toya Resort and Spa Toyako, Japan Ｇ８サミットでのブッシュ大統領と福田首相の共同記者会見 ブッシュ大統領は、拉致問題について日本国民に配慮する発言 |
全文 | We discussed a variety of subjects, starting with... our work together
to make sure the Korean Peninsula, all the Korean Peninsula, is free of
nuclear weapons. I am fully aware of the sensitivity of the issue here
in your country. I am aware that people want to make sure that the abduction
issue is not ignored, and that there are suspicions about whether or not
the North Koreans will be fully forthcoming. I view this process as a multi-step
process that requires strong verification. 我々は、朝鮮半島を非核化する共同作業を始めとして多くのことについて話し合いました。私はこの国が抱えている敏感な問題については確かに認識しています。日本国民が拉致の問題をが無視されないようにと思っていること、さらに北朝鮮が完全に解決しようとするのかどうかについて疑っていることを私は認識しています。私は、このステップを確実な検証を必要とするマルチ・ステップでのプロセスと見ています。 |

This weekend, Americans are celebrating the anniversary of our Nation's
independence. Two hundred and thirty-two years ago, our Founding Fathers
came together in Philadelphia to proclaim that all men are created equal
and that they are endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. この週末に、米国の国民は国の独立を祝います。 232年前に、我々の建国の父たちは、「人は生まれながらにして平等であり、すべての人は神より侵されざるべき権利を与えられている、その権利には、生命、自由、そして幸福の追求が含まれている」と宣言するためにフィラデルフィアの地に集まりました． |

We must remember that the desire for freedom burns inside every man and
woman and child. More than two centuries ago, this desire of freedom...
had inspired the subjects of a mighty empire to declare themselves free
and independent citizens of a new nation. Today that same desire for freedom
has inspired 72 immigrants from around the world to become citizens of
the greatest nation on Earth -- the United States of America. I congratulate
you. I welcome you. 自由への要求はすべての人々や子供たちの心の中に燃えていることを覚えておくことが必要です。200年以上も前に、この自由への要求が新しい国の国民の自由と独立の宣言を促しました。この同じ要求が今日、世界中の国からの72人の移民が地球上で最も偉大な国である米国の市民となるよう促しました。皆さんを祝福します。皆さんを歓迎します。 |

Next week I'm going to travel to Japan for the eighth and final G8 summit
of my presidency. At recent summits, G8 countries have made pledges to
help developing nations address challenges, from health care to education,
to corruption. Now we need to show the world that the G8 can be accountable
for its promises and deliver results. As I said the other day, we need
people who not only make promises, but write checks, for the sake of human
rights and human dignity, and for the sake of peace. 来週、8回目で大統領として最後のサミットのために日本を訪問します。 最近のサミットでは、G８の国々は発展途上国が抱えている、医療から教育や腐敗までの問題を解決する手助けをする確約をしました。G8は、その約束と成果に責任があることを世界に示す必要があります。先日私が述べたように、人権、人間の尊厳そして平和のために約束をするだけでなく実行をする人々を必要としています。 |

I also affirmed to the Minister again what the President said yesterday,
which is the United States will never forget the Japanese citizens who
were abducted, and we will continue to press North Korea to resolve this
issue early and in a positive manner. It is extremely important to the
United States, as a matter of American policy, that this issue be resolved. 私は、大統領が昨日述べた、米国は拉致された日本人を決して忘ないで北朝鮮に対して早期に前向きな形で解決するように働き掛けを続けることを外相に再度確約しました。この問題が解決されることは、米国の政策として、非常に重要なことです。 |

The policy of the United States is a Korean Peninsula free of all nuclear
weapons. This morning, we moved a step closer to that goal, when North
Korean officials submitted a declaration of their nuclear programs to the
Chinese government as part of the six-party talks. The United States has
no illusions about the regime in Pyongyang. We remain deeply concerned
about North Korea's human rights abuses, uranium enrichment activities,
nuclear testing and proliferation, ballistic missile programs, and the
threat it continues to pose to South Korea and its neighbors. Yet we welcome
today's development as one step in the multi-step process laid out by the
six-party talks between North Korea, China, Japan, Russia, South Korea,
and the United States. 米国の朝鮮半島における政策は、すべての核兵器を無くすことです。北朝鮮の関係者が六カ国協議の一部として中国政府に対し申告を提出したことにより、今朝我々はこのゴールに向かい一歩近づきました。 米国は北朝鮮政権にたいして幻想を抱いていません。我々は、北朝鮮の人権侵害、ウラン濃縮活動、核実験、核拡散、弾道ミサイル計画、韓国やその隣国に及ぼす脅威に関して深く憂慮しています。北朝鮮、中国、日本、ロシア、韓国及び米国の間の6カ国協議により定められた複数の段階からなる活動の一段階として我々は今日の申告を歓迎します。 |

Q Dana, is the United States preparing to remove North Korea from the terrorism
list? 質問： ダーナ、米国は北朝鮮をテロ国家のリストから(from the terrorism list)解除する(to remove North Korea)準備をしていますか(is the United States preparing)？ MS. PERINO: Well, we'll -- what we've been waiting for is for North Korea to issue to the Chinese, as the chairman of the six-party talks, its complete and accurate and verifiable declaration. And there is word that they would try to do that by Thursday. ペリーノ大統領報道官(MS. PERINO): 六カ国協議の議長国としての(as the chairman of the six-party talks)中国に対して(to the Chinese)、北朝鮮が完全で、正確で、検証可能で ある(complete and accurate and verifiable declaration)申告をする(for North Korea to issue )のを我々は待っています(what we've been waiting )。 木曜日までに北朝鮮は申告をするよう努力する(they would try to do that by Thursday)と述べました(there is word)。 This is a deadline that the North Koreans themselves have put out there. We'll see if they decide to do that. And from there, as you can see from the agreements that we've had, there is action for action. これは北朝鮮自身が課した(North Koreans themselves have put out there)期限です(This is a deadline)。 北朝鮮が申告するかどうか(if they decide to do that)我々はようすを見てみます(We'll see)。 それからは(And from there)、我々が合意した事項から(from the agreements that we've had)皆さんお解りのように(as you can see)、行動には行動で対応します(there is action for action)。 But the key is we want a denuclearized North Korea, but part of getting there is getting this declaration. Before any other actions are taken, that declaration has to be reviewed and considered verifiable. しかしながら(But)、キーとなる事項は(the key)北朝鮮の非核化を我々が要求していることです(is we want a denuclearized North Korea)。北朝鮮が非核化に到る道のりの一部(part of getting there)がこの申告を手に入れることです(is getting this declaration)。 他のいかなる行動が取られる前に(Before any other actions are take)、この申告は審査されなければならなく(that declaration has to be reviewed)てかつ(and)、検証可能であると考えられるもの(considered verifiable)でなくてはなりません。 Q Do you have any reason to believe that they won't do it on -- by Thursday, as they -- 質問： 木曜日までに北朝鮮が申告をしない(they won't do it on -- by Thursda)と考える理由は何かありますか(Do you have any reason)？ MS. PERINO: Only based on past experience, that deadlines have been kicked down the road before. But I couldn't say either way whether or not they'll meet this one. We hope that they do, but when they do and if they do, it has to be one that is correct and verifiable. ペリーノ大統領報道官(MS. PERINO): ただ過去の経験に基づくものだけです(Only based on past experience)。 この最終期限は以前に提示されていました(that deadlines have been kicked down the road before)。 しかし( But)、北朝鮮がこの期限を守ろうとするかどうかは(whether or not they'll meet this one)、私はいずれにしても言うことができませ ん(I couldn't say either way)。 北朝鮮が申告をすると希望します(We hope that they do)。 しかし(but)、申告をする時には( when they do )、そしてもしも申告するのであれば(and if they do)申告は正確で検証可能のものでなければ なりません(it has to be one that is correct and verifiable)。 |

America must maintain its confidence in its ability to lead in this democracy
agenda and in others. In order to do that, the United States has got to
be confident about the development of its own democracy. The United States
has to be confident that its educational system is training its children
and its people to be competitive in a globally competitive world, or we
will turn inward and protectionist. America has to be confident that we
can continue to welcome people of all backgrounds, of all faiths, of all
colors, or we will turn inward. And if America turns inward, it will be
less innovative, less creative, and it will not lead. That, it seems to me, is perhaps the highest national security priority among many, is to establish firmly, once and for all, that the United States of America is confident in itself, confident in its capabilities, and, most importantly, confident in the extraordinary power of its values. 米国は、この民主主義上の課題や他の面でリードする能力に対する自信を維持しなければなりません。そうするために、アメリカ合衆国は自身の 民主主義の発展を確信していなければなりません。アメリカ合衆国はその教育制度が米国の子供たちと国民をグローバルに競争的な世界で競争心旺盛な ようになるように訓練していると確信していなければなりません、さもなくば、我々は内向し保護貿易主義者になります。米国は我々がすべての皮膚の 色、すべてのバックグラウンド、すべての信仰のを歓迎し続けることができると確信していなければなりません、さもなくば、我々は内向します。そし て、米国が内向するならば、それはより革新的でなくて、より創造的でありません、そして、それではリードできません。 おそらく、米国が米国自体に自信があって、その能力に自信があって、最も重要なことにはその価値の並外れた力に自信があると今回限りにしっ かりと確認することが多くの間の優先事項の中で最も高い国家安全上の優先事項であると、私には思われます。 |

In the short run, the American economy will continue to rely largely on
oil. And that means we need to increase supply, especially here at home.
So my administration has repeatedly called on Congress to expand domestic
oil production. Unfortunately, Democrats on Capitol Hill have rejected
virtually every proposal -- and now Americans are paying the price at the
pump for this obstruction. Congress must face a hard reality: Unless Members
are willing to accept gas prices at today's painful levels -- or even higher
-- our nation must produce more oil. And we must start now. So this morning,
I ask Democratic Congressional leaders to move forward with four steps
to expand American oil and gasoline production. -------------------------------------------------- In the short run, the American economy will continue to rely largely on oil.

North Korea will soon give its declaration of nuclear programs to China,
the chair of the denuclearization working group. President Bush would then notify Congress of our intention to remove North Korea from the State sponsors of terrorism list, and to cease the application of the Trading with the Enemy Act. In the next 45 days after that, before those actions go into effect, we would continue to assess the level of North Korean cooperation, in helping to verify the accuracy and completeness of its declaration. If that cooperation is insufficient, we will respond accordingly. ---------------------------------------------------- North Korea will soon give its declaration of nuclear programs to China, the chair of the denuclearization working group. 北朝鮮は(North Korea)、非核化の作業グループの議長国である(the chair of the denuclearization working group)中国に対して(to China)近いうちに(soon)核開発計画の申告(its declaration of nuclear programs)を行うつもりです(will soon give)。 President Bush would then notify Congress of our intention to remove North Korea from the State sponsors of terrorism list, and to cease the application of the Trading with the Enemy Act. そして(then)ブッシュ大統領は(President Bush)、北朝鮮のテロ支援国家指定の解除(remove North Korea from the State sponsors of terrorism list)と(and)敵国通商法の適用を終了させる(to cease the application of the Trading with the Enemy Act)我々の意向(our intention)を議会に通告します(notify Congress)。 In the next 45 days after that, before those actions go into effect, we would continue to assess the level of North Korean cooperation, in helping to verify the accuracy and completeness of its declaration. その後(after that)、効力が発行する前(before those actions go into effect)の45日間(In the next 45 days)、その申告の正確さと完全性(the accuracy and completeness of its declaration)を確かめるのを北朝鮮が手助けする際におけ る(in helping to verify)、北朝鮮の協力のレベルを(the level of North Korean cooperation)我々は評価し続けます(we would continue to assess)。 If that cooperation is insufficient, we will respond accordingly. もしも(If)その協力が(that cooperation)不十分であれば(is insufficient)、我々はそれなりに(accordingly)対応します( we will respond)。 |

We are pleased that in the seven years since the creation of the Department of State’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, the United States and our friends and allies have made important strides in confronting the reality that human beings continue to be bought and sold in the twenty-first century. It has been gratifying to witness the determined governments, human rights and women’s groups, faith-based organizations, and many brave individuals who are dedicated to advancing human dignity worldwide.

With every passing year, the bonds of friendship between America and Israel
have grown stronger. America stands for peace, and so does Israel.And as
we stand in peace, we must understand the realities of the world in which
we live. 時の流れを経るごとに、アメリカとイスラエルの間の友好の絆は、より強くなつてきました。アメリカは平和を支持し、そして、イスラエルも平 和を支持しています。そして、我々が平和を守るには、我々は我々が生きている世界の現実を理解しなければなりません。 We must be steadfast, and we must be strong in the face of those who murder the innocent to achieve their objectives. And in the long run, we share a powerful belief in a powerful weapon against the terrorists. 我々は動じるべきではありません。そして、我々は自らの目的を達成するために罪のない人を殺害する人々に敢然と立ちむかわなければなりませ ん。そして、長期的には、我々はテロリストに対抗する強力な武器に対する強い信頼を共有します。 We believe that the surest way to defeat the enemies of hatred is to advance the cause of hope through the cause of freedom; liberty as the great alternative to tyranny and terror. 我々は、憎しみの敵を破る最も確かな方法は自由の大儀を通して希望の大儀をお推し進めることだと信じています;専制政治と恐怖に大きく取っ て代わるものとしての自由です。 |

We have heard for years now that as the Iraqis stand up, our troops will
stand down. Every year, we hear about how next year they may start coming
home. Now we are hearing a new version of that yet again from the president
as he has more troops in Iraq than ever and the Iraqi government is more
fractured and ineffective than ever. 今まで何年にもわたり、イラクが立ち上がれば、わが軍は引き上げると我々は聞かされてきました。来年になれば、撤退すると毎年聞かされてき ました。大統領が増派をしそしてイラク政府が今まで無かったようにさらに弱体化し機能していない一方で、我々は同じ事を聞かされています。。 Well, the right strategy before the surge and post-escalation is the same: start bringing home America's troops now. 増派の前と大統領選挙の後の正しい政策は同じです。それは、米軍を今撤退させることです。 |

The military achievements in Iraq have been accompanied by a political
transformation. It can feel like distant history, but it was only five
years ago that Iraq was one of the most brutal dictatorships on Earth --
a totalitarian nightmare where any election was a sham, and dissenters
often found themselves buried in mass graves. In a matter of 15 months,
the Iraqi people reclaimed their sovereignty. They went on to choose an
interim government, and to ratify the most democratic constitution in the
Arab world. And in December 2005, 12 million Iraqis elected a government
under that constitution -- a display of courage that defied the terrorists,
disproved the critics, and should always inspire the world. |

音声 | In the past few days I have begun to atone for my private failings with
my wife, Silda, my children, and my entire family. The remorse I feel will
always be with me. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for the love
and compassion they have shown me. From those to whom much is given, much
is expected. I have been given much: the love of my family, the faith and
trust of the people of New York, and the chance to lead this state. I am
deeply sorry that I did not live up to what was expected of me. To every
New Yorker, and to all those who believed in what I tried to stand for,
I sincerely apologize. I look at my time as governor with a sense of what might have been, but I also know that as a public servant I, and the remarkable people with whom I worked, have accomplished a great deal. There is much more to be done, and I cannot allow my private failings to disrupt the people’s work. Over the course of my public life, I have insisted, I believe correctly, that people, regardless of their position or power, take responsibility for their conduct. I can and will ask no less of myself. For this reason, I am resigning from the office of governor. At Lt. Gov. Paterson’s request, the resignation will be effective Monday, March 17, a date that he believes will permit an orderly transition. I go forward with the belief, as others have said, that as human beings, our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. As I leave public life, I will first do what I need to do to help and heal myself and my family. Then I will try once again, outside of politics, to serve the common good and to move toward the ideals and solutions which I believe can build a future of hope and opportunity for us and for our children. I hope all of New York will join my prayers for my friend, David Paterson, as he embarks on his new mission, and I thank the public once again for the privilege of service. |

Iran continues to construct its heavy water research reactor at Arak, a potential source of weapons-useable plutonium. 米国は、国連決議１８０３の採択を歓迎する。イランの国連決議違反 が 継続しているのみならず、深刻化している。 安保理事会で要求されたウラン濃縮と再処理を停止しないで、イランは大々的に活動している遠心分離処理の数を拡大しており、核燃料で試験を している。イランは、Arakにおいて、核兵器の基になり、プルトニュウムが使用可能な研究用の重水炉の建設を続けている。 |
| February 28, 2008 Press Conference of the President ブッシュ大統領の記者会見 オバマ上院議員のアルカイダに関しての認識があまいことを指摘 民主党は、イラクからの撤退を言っているが共和党は、撤退に反対している |
ビデオ 全文 |
Q Mr. President, do you believe if we have the kind of rapid pull-out from
Iraq that Democrats are talking about, that we would be at greater risk
of a terrorist attack here at home? And when Senator Obama was asked a
similar question, he said, "If al Qaeda is forming a base in Iraq,
then we will have to act in a way that secures the American homeland and
our interests abroad." So I'm wondering if -- 質問： 大統領、民主党が言っているようなイラクからの急速な撤退は、米国本土へのテロ攻撃の大きなリスクとお考えですか？オバマ上院議員が同じ質 問をされた時に、オバマ上院議員は、「もしもアルカイダがイラクで拠点を築いているのなら、米国本土と米国の海外での権益を守るように我々は行動 しなければならない」と述べました。 そこで私は疑問に感じています。。。。 THE PRESIDENT: That's an interesting comment. If al Qaeda is securing a al Qaeda base -- yes, well, that's exactly what they've been trying to do for the past four years. That's their stated intention, was to create enough chaos and disorder to establish a base from which to either launch attacks or spread a caliphate. And the intent of the surge was to send more Marines into the area that -- where they had proclaimed their desire to set up a base. That was Anbar province. And so, yes, that's one of the challenges we face, is denying al Qaeda a safe haven anywhere. And their intentions -- that's what they said, that they would like to have a base or safe haven in Anbar province. 大統領： これは興味深いコメントです。もしもアルカイダがアルカイダの基地を確保しようとしているのなら---これはアルカイダが過去４年間にわたり し ようとしている事です。これは彼らの定まった意図です。それは、攻撃をしかけたり管理区域を広げたりするための基地を構築するために十分な混 沌と 混乱とを引き起こすことです。増派の意図は、アルカイダが基地を構築したいと宣言した地域に更に多くの海兵隊を送り込むことです。この地域 はアン バル州です。そして、アルカイダにいかなる地域においても聖域を与えないこと、これが我々が直面している難題です。彼らの意図は--これは 彼らが述 べたことですが、アンバル州に基地や安全な聖域を持つことです。 |

We have had progress on the disablement of those facilities and now it is time to move on.” “I am expecting from China what I am expecting from others, that we will use all influence possible with the North Koreans to convince them that it is time to move forward. I just want to state that the United States is prepared to move forward with its obligations if North Korea moves forward on the ones that it has undertaken.” “Taiwan is a democratic entity that will have to make its own decision but I think we have been very clear that we think that this referendum is not going to help anyone and in fact it shouldn't be held.” |

when I was here three years ago as the new Secretary of State at the time,
I did speak about what I thought to be the remarkable progress of Afghanistan
in developing its democratic institutions and beginning to provide for
its people, in providing through the international community roads which
this country essentially did not have....And I see that that progress continues.
Could we all expect that the security situation would still be difficult?
Yes, because Afghanistan has determined enemies who, as I said, laid waste
to this country over a period of more than a decade....So of course, it's
going to be difficult to rebuild the institutions like the security institutions. ３年前に私が新任の国務長官としてここを訪問したとき、アフガニスタンの民主国家形成と、以前にはアフガニスタンには無かったが国民には必 須である道程を国際社会を通じて国民に提供する成果のすばらしい進展について話しました。この進展が続いていると私には見えます。我々は治安状況 は困難と予想できますか？できます、なぜならアフガニスタンには確信的な敵が有り私が述べたように、この敵は数十年にわたりこの国を崩壊さ せてき ました。ですから、治安の良い国家を再建するのは難しくなりそうです。 |

And we're sorry you're going through what you're going through. You know,
life sometimes is unfair and you don't get to play the hand that you wanted
to play. But the question is when you get dealt the hand, how do you play
it? And I've come away with this impression of the folks in Macon County:
one, you're down to earth, good, hard-working people; they have a respect
for the Almighty; and this community is going to be as strong as ever.

In the work ahead, we must be guided by the philosophy that made our nation
great. As Americans, we believe in the power of individuals to determine
their destiny and shape the course of history. We believe that the most
reliable guide for our country is the collective wisdom of ordinary citizens.
And so in all we do, we must trust in the ability of free peoples to make
wise decisions, and empower them to improve their lives for their futures. |

Like any nation, we have made mistakes throughout our history, and we are going to make them again. But our confidence in our principles, and our impatience with the pace of change, is also a source of our greatest successes ? and this will ensure that the United States remains a strong, confident, and capable global leader in the 21st century. Yes, our ideals and our optimism make Americans impatient, but our history, our experience, should make us patient at the same time. We, of all people, realize how long and difficult the path of democracy really is. After all, when our Founding Fathers said “We the People,” they did not mean me. It took the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, to overcome the compromise in our Constitution that made the founding of the United States of America possible, but that made my ancestors three-fifths of a man. So we Americans have no reason for false pride and every reason for humility. And we believe that human imperfection makes democracy more important, and all who are striving for it more deserving of patience and support. History provides so many affirming examples of this. After all, who would have thought that Japan would be a pillar of democratic stability in Asia? Once, that seemed impossible. Now, it seems inevitable. Who would have thought that Germany and France would never go to war again and would instead join in union? Once, that too seemed impossible. Now, it too seems inevitable. And who would have thought that NATO and the European Union would erase old divisions of East and West, that they would unite democratic nations across Europe, and that the Alliance would hold its 2006 Summit in Latvia? Once, that seemed impossible. Now, it too seems inevitable. |

As Congress considers such a plan, there are certain principles that should
guide their deliberations: This growth package must be big enough to make
a difference in an economy as large and dynamic as ours -- which means
it should be about one percent of GDP. This growth package must be built
on broad-based tax relief that will directly affect economic growth --
not the kind of spending projects that would have little immediate impact
on our economy. This growth package must be temporary and take effect right
away -- so we can get help to our economy when it is needed most. And this
growth package must not include any tax increases. １.景気に影響を与えるGDPの約１％ほどの大型であるべ き ２.広範な減税政策に基づいたものであるべき ３.一時的な対策であり直ちに実行されるべき ４.いかなる増税も含むべきでない |

Passing a new growth package is our most pressing economic priority. When
that is done, Congress must turn to the most important economic priority
for our country, and that's making sure the tax relief that is now in place
is not taken away. 新しい経済成長法案を可決することは(Passing a new growth package)、我々の経済上の最もプライオリティーの高いものです(is our most pressing economic priority)。 議会は我国のために最も重要な経済上の優先度の高いものに立ち向かわかなければなりません(When that is done, Congress must turn to the most important economic priority for our country)。 それは現在施行されている減税が無くならない(the tax relief that is now in place is not taken away)ことを確認することです(hat's making sure)。 A source of uncertainty in our economy is that this tax relief is set to expire at the end of 2010. Unless Congress acts, the American people will face massive tax increases in less than three years. The marriage penalty will make a comeback; the child tax credit will be cut in half; the death tax will come back to life; and tax rates will go up on regular income, capital gains, and dividends. 我々の経済の不安定の要因は(A source of uncertainty in our economy)、この減税が2010年の末に終了(this tax relief is set to expire at the end of 2010)することが原因です。 議会が行動しない限り(Unless Congress acts)、米国民は3年以内に大きな増税に直面します(the American people will face massive tax increases in less than three years)。 結婚税は復帰し(The marriage penalty will make a comeback)、幼児税額控除は半減します(the child tax credit will be cut in half)。 遺産税が復活し(the death tax will come back to life)、そして、定期収入(regular income)、キャピタルゲイン(capital gains)、配当(dividends)への税率は上がります(and tax rates will go up)。 This tax increase would put jobs and economic growth at risk, and Congress has a responsibility to keep that from happening. So it's critical that Congress make this tax relief permanent. この増税は(This tax increase)雇用と経済成長を危険にさらします(would put jobs and economic growth at risk)、そして、議会にはそれが起こらないようにする義務があります(Congress has a responsibility to keep that from happening)。 ですから(So)、議会がこの減税を恒久的なものにすること(Congress make this tax relief permanent)が不可欠です(it's critical)。 |
