On Oct. 25, 1995, Lyndon LaRouche issued a statement hailing the positive results of President Bill Clinton’s Oct. 23, 1995 summit meeting with Russian President Boris Yeltsin, at Franklin Roosevelt’s family home in Hyde Park, New York. In that context, LaRouche wrote:
“What is the historic significance, for past and future, alike, of a U.S.A. sponsorship of a France-Germany-Russia-China-Japan axis of Eurasian economic development? Think back to the 1890s of France’s Gabriel Hanotaux, Germany’s Wilhelm Siemens and Karl Helfferich, and Russia’s Count Sergei Witte, with the project for building railway corridors of development across Eurasia, from Brest at the Atlantic Coast of France to the shores of the Pacific and Indian Ocean, including a direct railway connection into Japan itself.”
