President Obama Remarks of President Barack Obama
AELM Retreat Session
November 15, 2009



Good morning. It is an honor to be here at this year’s APEC leaders’ Summit. Twenty years ago, as the forces of globalization were just beginning to transform our world, this forum was founded in order to seize the promise of a new era for a region that collectively represents the largest economy on Earth. Twenty years later, as the world slowly emerges from the worst recession in generations, the future prosperity of our people and all people has never been more dependent on our continued engagement than it is right now.
The United States was there at the first meeting of APEC leaders on Blake Island, where President Clinton began the interesting tradition of having us wear outfits picked out by the host nation. And when America hosts APEC in a few years, I look forward to seeing you all decked out in flowered shirts and grass skirts, because today I’m announcing that we are bringing this forum to my home state of Hawaii in 2011.

President Obama Statement by the President Obama on the Ukrainian Holodomor Remembrance Day
This statement was prepared by the White House and read at the annual Holodomor commemoration that took place at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York November 14.
November 13, 2009


Seventy six years ago, millions of innocent Ukrainians – men, women, and children – starved to death as a result of the deliberate policies of the regime of Joseph Stalin. Tomorrow, we join together, Ukrainian-Americans and all Americans, to commemorate these tragic events and to honor the many victims.
From 1932 to 1933, the Ukrainian people suffered horribly during what has become known as the Holodomor – “death by hunger” – due to the Stalin regime’s seizure of crops and farms across Ukraine. Ukraine had once been a breadbasket of Europe. Ukrainians could have fed themselves and saved millions of lives, had they been allowed to do so. As we remember this calamity, we pay respect to millions of victims who showed tremendous strength and courage. The Ukrainian people overcame the horror of the great famine and have gone on to build a free and democratic country.
Remembering the victims of the man-made catastrophe of Holodomor provides us an opportunity to reflect upon the plight of all those who have suffered the consequences of extremism and tyranny around the world. We hope that the remembrance of Holodomor will help prevent such tragedy in the future.

The US donation to WHO, equivalent to 25 million doses of vaccine, would be valued commercially at approximately $10 million.

As part of the first phase of this initiative, Ukraine is scheduled to receive 930,000 doses of H1N1 vaccine in early December.
