PRIME MINISTER
FOR MEDIA 8 APRIL 1989
United States Vice President Dan Quayle will be visiting
Australia from Wednesday 26 April to Sunday 30 April as
President Bush's special representative at this year's
celebration of Australian-American Friendship Week. He will
be accompanied by Mrs Quayle and attend celebrations in
Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney and other centres.
His visit will be the first by a senior member of the new
United States Administration, and follows the precedent set
by President Bush who represented the United States at the
same celebrations in 1982 when he also was Vice-President.
During his visit Vice President Quayle will be meeting with
me for talks on bilateral, regional and global issues. He
will also meet other senior ministers and state government
leaders.
Mr and Mrs Quayle will be most welcome visitors to
Australia.
