Bush Thanks Poland for Sympathy after Attacks

Warsaw, October 4: U.S. President George Bush in a telephone conversation with Polish President Aleksander Kwaśniewski thanked Poland for its support in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Thanking Kwaśniewski for Poland’s solidarity with the United States and the Polish population’s moving, spontaneous reactions to the tragic events of September 11, Bush assured that the attacks on U.S. would not change U.S. policies he had outlined in his speech in Warsaw nor plans to enlarge NATO. Kwaśniewski assured Bush of Poland’s decided stand in the battle with terrorism and said Poland would support the U.S. regardless of post-election changes in government. He also recalled his initiative of calling a conference on terrorism in Warsaw.
