A typescript of a speech given to the Assembly of the Republic in Portugal during a state visit to Portugal when he met with President António Ramalho Eanes and Prime Minister Mário Soares.

The majority of the addressed is concerned with Portugal's contributions to "the Western Alliance", their role in NATO, and the role of democracy.

The govt. is basically Socialist but is moderate regarding pvt. enterprise."
