Joe Biden

Manfred Woerner was the first German to hold the highest civilian post of NATO. Born in Stuttgart, he won a seat in the German Parliament in 1965 and rapidly established himself as a security expert. In 1982, Chancellor Helmut Kohl named Mr. Woerner Defense Minister at a time of great debate in Germany about the proposed stationing of American medium-range nuclear missiles in that country to counter a massive Soviet missile build-up.

Joe Biden

Mr. President, this issue was a grave one, which caused mass demonstrations in Germany and threatened to split the Atlantic alliance. It was largely because of Manfred Woerner's determined efforts that the American initiative succeeded. The Atlantic alliance survived its most serious crisis, and less than a decade later the West had won the cold war over the Soviet Union.

Joe Biden

In 1988, Manfred Woerner succeeded Lord Carrington as NATO Secretary General and in doing so became a symbol of democratic Germany's ultimate acceptance as a leader of the alliance. In his new position he once again proved his far-sightedness, advocating the strengthening of NATO's conventional forces and, more recently, calling for a firm response to Serbian aggression in the former Yugoslavia.

Manfred Woerner was a distinguished German politician, a leading European statesman, a fine gentleman, and a loyal, steadfast friend of the United States of America. He will be sorely missed by this country, which is deeply in his debt.
