SIZE, MUL AND MISTORY or COMPANY. PBR & Associates, Ino., &\nsuccessful consulting and training firm for human resource development in\nDenver, Colorado, WAS started in 1984. PATRICIA BARELA RIVERA is president\nand owner of FBR & Associates, Inc. She began her career in 1970 as Career\nand Placement Director for the University of Albuguerque. From 1973 through\n1984 she was employed by the rederal government in a number of challenging\npositions, including: Procurement/Personnel Administrator, U.S. Forest\nService; Regional Civil Rights/EBO Specialist, U.S. Forest Service; and\nRegional Trainer, Office of Personnel Manage-ment.\nIn 1984, Ms. Rivera decided to take, at the time, the ambitious and\nunprecedented step of starting a Hispanio woman-owned management consulting\nbusiness in the Rooky Mountain region. She is particularly proud of the faot\nthat the company started with little operating capital and, yet, even as the\ncompany's revenues doubled or tripled each year with a corresponding increase\nin personnel and other operating expenses, the company remains debt free and\nhighly profitable. In five years, the business has grown and achieved\nprominence nationally as a innovative resource for motivational and\nprofessional development seminars and speeches. The company has, in eddition,\nadded professional resources to assume organizational and developmental\nprojects that require strong project planning, management, and implementation\nstrategies. A recent major project was the design, development and\nimplementation of & comprehensive stretegy for outreach programs to the\nstate's minority- and women-owned businesses on contract opportunities at the\nDAY $1.7 billion Denver International Airport.\nMs. Barela Rivers has appeared on numerous TV and radio programs locally and\nnationally, and has been featured in several major oity newspapers.

PBR & Associates, Ino. has been\na vital part of the national, regional, and local hispanic network since its\ninception. Ms. Darola Rivera has contributed to the general Hispanic\ncommunity economic and social well-being since the early 1970's. Ker\nmemberships on numerous organizational board of directors and noted\nwillingness to assist with fund-raising and other community projects has\nearned her a strong reputation as a reliable and tireless community volunteer.\nMereover, her compassion for all minority groups and real efforts on their\nbehalf has earned her the respect and admiration of Asians, Blacks, and Native\nAmericans. the is also a role model for many prospective women and minority\n*ntreprensure with whom who devotes . significal part of Ler time on & weekly\nbasis to counsel and advise them on oritical survival techniques. A special\nenduring interest of Ms. Rivera's has been with minority/disadventeged youth\nwith whom she offers special training classes monthly on self-esteen, career\nawareness, survivel skills and majority oultural perspectives.\nA major effort that Ms. Darela Rivera is currently leading involves ell of\nColorado's minority groups in the preservation of the state's Minority Busi\nness Office. & part of the state's economic development program, the Minority\nBusiness Office is & legislatively mendated minority business advocacy program\nthat received political opposition resulting in severe budget reductions. He.\nBarela Rivera is providing the leadership to bring the various minority groups\ntogether, meet their divergent economic and social agendes, and establish &\npolitical base for revitalizing the Minority Business Office.\n. NOST IMPORTANT INCREDIEWY FOR SUCCESS. Ms. Barela Rivera believes\nthat there are three ingredients which have made her and PER & Associates,\nInc. professional subcesses. These are: a) Risk Taking b) Client Amereness\nand Sensitivity and o) On-going Professional Growth and Development.\nThe first ingredient for success is Risk Taking. Ms. Rivera believes that\nthere are many forms of risk that an individual and 6 business must undertake\nto achieve and sustain success. There is the significant financial and\npersonal risk associated with starting a business. There's the risk that\ncomes with making the difficult decisions about where to devote scaros company\nand personal resources in marketing, sales and other areas in striving for\nsuccess. In addition, there is risk in understanding the competitive market\nand balancing our company's, and our individual, competencies and skills to\nprovide marketable services and products.\nThe single most important ingredient for success is olient awareness and sen-\nsitivity. By that, Ms. Barela Rivera means that as a professional consult=\nent, it's orwiel to the success of any effort that the consultant takes the\ntime and makes the becessary effort to fully understand the environment in\nwhich the client operates and the real problems that caused the client to seek\noutside assistance. Often, clients will confuse the symptoms of problems for\nHispanic Businesswoman of the Year\nPage 2\nBus_Inn AUG-31-'89 THU 15:09 ID:U S HCC\nTEL NO:816-756-0575\n#507 P08\n1100\nRuy 29,89 15:36 No.005 P.05\nthe problem itself. A disinterested, experienced consultant can, through\nobservation, interviews, and document review, identify the causel factors for\nproblems and address those root causes. Continuing dislogue during the course\nof the professional involvement and later follow-up ensures that the consult\nant provides documed assistance.\nAn independent consultant needs to establish and maintain & proactive program\nof continuing professional growth and development. The rate of knowledge\ngrowth 1s accelerating. It is incumbent upon a professional consultant to be\naware of newly available knowledge and the associated technologies/tools which\ncan be used to provide more effective, cost-efficient services to the client.\nMoreover, most consultants have special expertise in one or two areas when\nthey begin to market their professional services. Yet, as consultants grow in\ntheir businesses, the types of problems that they may undertake, and the lov\n#1s of complexities, demand that they are aware of the latest research and\nmethodologies.\nHispanic Businesswoman of the Year\nPage 3\nAUG-31-'89 THU 15:10 ID:O SHCC\nTEL NO: 816-756-0575\n#507 P09\ncategory, form may be photocopied)\nHispanic Business Woman of the Year\nHispanic Business Man of the Year\nHispanic Chamber of Commerce of the Year\nCorporate Hispanic Business Advocate\nof the Year\nGovernment Hispanic Business Advocate\nof the Year\nCHECK YOUR REGION BELOW:\nRegion I:\nAZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, MT, NV, NM,\nND, OR, UT, WA, WY\nRegion II:\nAK, AR, IA, KS, LA, MS, MO,\nNE, OK, TX, SD\nRegion III: AL, CT, DE, DC, FL, GA, MD,\nME, MA, NH, NJ, NY, NC, PR,\nRI, SC, VA, VT, WV\nRegion IV: IL, IN, KY, MI, MN, OH, PA,\nTN, WI\nName of\nNominee REMEDIOS Diaz -Oliver\nTitle\nCEO\nCompany American International Container, Inc.\nAddress 3724 N.W. 73rd Street\nCity/State/Zip Miami, 71\nTelephone (\n)\nFAX (\n)\nUSHCC Member?\nYes\nNo\nMember of Local Hispanic Chamber of\n)\nCornmerce/Business Organization?\n1, Yes No (Name Latin chamber of commorce, Miami\nAUG-31-'89 THU 15:10 ID:U SHCC\nTEL NO:816-756-0575\n#507 P10\nRESUME\nREMEDIOS DIAZ-OLIVER\nOCCUPATION:\nCHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER\nAMERICAN INTERNATIONAL CONTAINER, INC.\nPERSONAL DATA\nBORN:\nHAVANA, CUBA\nAMERICAN CITIZEN SINCE 1969\nCURRENT RESIDENCE:\n10000 SOUTHWEST 30TH STREET\nMIAMI, FLORIDA 33165\nMARITAL STATUS:\nMARRIED - FAUSTO DIAZ-OLIVER\nDECEMBER 13, 1958 - HAVANA, CUBA\nCHILDREN:\nROSA MARIA - MARRIED TO\nRICARDO FLORES,\nFAUSTO G. - MARRIED TO\nDAMARIS DIAZ\nMOVED TO MIAMI:\nMAY 11, 1961\nAUG-31-'89 THU 15:11 ID:USHCC\nTEL NO:816-756-0575\n#507 P11\nEDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND:\nMASTERS DEGREE IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION\nHAVANA BUSINESS UNIVERSITY AND\nHAVANA BUSINESS COLLEGE\nHAVANA, CUBA (GRADUATED)\nMARKETING, ADVERTISING, PUBLIC RELATIONS\nAND MASS COMMUNICATIONS (RETIRO\nODONTOLOGICO)\nANNEX TO UNIVERSITY OF HAVANA, CUBA\n(GRADUATED)\nPHILOSOPHY AND LETTERS (DOCTORATE IN\nEDUCATION)\nHAVANA UNIVERSITY, HAVANA, CUBA\nDIPLOMATIC CAREER\nHAVANA UNIVERSITY, HAVANA, CUBA\nPRESIDENT OF STUDENTS COUNCIL, EDITOR\nAND PUBLISHER OF THE SCHOOL YEAR BOOK\nAND THE MONTHLY NEWSPAPER\nIN HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATED AS VALEDICTORIAN\n(FIRST IN THE CLASS) AND GRADUATED\nTHIRD IN COLLEGE.\nRADIO SHOW COORDINATOR (STUDENT COUNCIL)\nENGLISH, FRENCH AND ITALIAN\nHAVANA BUSINESS ACADEMY\nFRENCH ALLIANCE AND CULTURIAL INSTITUTE\n-2-\nAUG-31-'89 THU 15:11 ID:USHCC\nTEL NO:816-756-0575\n#507 P12\nEDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND:\n(CONTINUED)\nSPECIAL COURSES: (U.S.A.)\nIMPORT AND EXPORT TECHNIQUES\nINTERNATIONAL TRADE\nINTERNATIONAL LAW & BUSINESS PROCEDURES\nPUBLIC SPEAKING - DALE CARNEGIE\nACCOUNTING AND FINANCE\nSALES, MARKETING & BUSINESS MANAGEMENT\nEMPLOYMENT HISTORY\nJANUARY 1977\nTO PRESENT:\nCHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER\nAMERICAN INTERNATIONAL CONTAINER, INC.\n3724 N.W. 73RD STREET, MIAMI, FLORIDA\nTHIS COMPANY WAS CREATED AND FORMED\nJANUARY 10, 1977.\nAMERICAN INTERNATIONAL CONTAINER, INC.,\nIS ENGAGED IN THE SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF\nGLASS, PLASTIC AND METAL CONTAINERS AND\nCLOSURES FOR COSMETICS, TOILETRIES, FOOD,\nPHARMACEUTICAL, BEVERAGE, LIQUOR, CHEMICAL,\nPAINT AND ALLIED INDUSTRIES SERVING THE\nUNITED STATES, EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA,\nAUSTRALIA, ETC,\nWE FURNISH PACKAGING PRODUCTS TO VERY LARGE\nCOMPANIES SUCH AS McCORMICK, PEPSI COLA,\nCOCA COLA, COLGATE-PALMOLIVE, REVLON\nWORLD-WIDE, TO NAME BUT A FEW,\n-3-\nAUG-31-'89 THU 15:12 ID:USHCC\nTEL NO:816-756-0575\n#507 P13\nJANUARY 1977\nWE HAVE SALES OFFICES IN CENTRAL AMERICA\nTO PRESENT:\nIN COUNTRIES SUCH AS PANAMA CITY, PANAMA\n(CONTINUED)\nAND SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA, IN SOUTH AMERICA;\nIN CARACAS, VENEZUELA; GUAYAQUIL, EDUADOR\nAND SANTIAGO, CHILE.

(ASI), a small minority-owned business\ncertified in the federal (a) program, is a diversified, growth-\noriented professional and technical services firm. ASI's\nmulti-discipline professionals provide environmental, and advanced\ntechnology services, and other contract support to public- and\nprivate- sector clients nationwide. ASI generates more than 65\npercent of its revenue from environmental engineering and hazardous\nwaste management services. Since its inception in 1977, ASI has\ngrown to more than 300 employees.\nIn addition to its environmental efforts, ASI is significantly\ninvolved in advanced technology, including Strategic Defense\nInitiative (SDI) projects and the Space Shuttle Programs. Other\nsupport includes a wide range of management information services,\npolicy analysis and program evaluation, survey methods and\nstatistical analysis, public information, and technology transfer.\nSince 1983, when ASI diversified and expanded its operations, ASI\ngrew from an employment base of 10 to almost 200 employees by late\n1988. By 1988, ASI's sales were $19 million. Sales for 1989 will\nbe $25 million. Forecasted sales for 1990 indicate a continuation\nof this growth pattern. Evidenced by its long-time relationships\nwith a satisfied client-base, this phenomenal success has been\nbuilt on providing top-quality, compliance-oriented, cost-\neffective, and timely service to its clients through a network of\nhighly qualified and motivated employees.\nREPUTATION OF THE FIRM\nASI has grown rapidly and built a national reputation for thorough,\nhigh-quality work delivered on time and within budget. To achieve\nthis reputation, ASI has developed a strong financial base,\nreasonable overhead rates, and a skilled and experienced workforce.\nThe company's formula for success is based on its ability to sense\nthe changing needs of clients and upon management's commitment to\ndevelop the in-house capabilities\nto respond to these needs. This is then translated into top-\nquality, dependable services that are comparable to any competitor,\nlarge or small.\nThe longevity of ASI contracts documents this reputation. ASI is\nin the enviable position to enjoy multiple, repeat contracts and\nfollow-on work. For example, this 11-year-old firm continues to\nperform on a contract which originated in the late 1970's. Client\nsatisfaction and personnel continuity were cited by the customers\nas two reasons for the repeat contracts. In addition, ASI is often\ncalled upon to present testimony at Congressional hearings.\nAUG-31-'89 THU 15:18 ID:USHCC\nTEL NO: 816-756-0575\n#507 P24\nASI's president, Ed L. Romero, has proved to be an aggressive\nadvocate of minority-owned businesses performing government\ncontract work. ASI and its President are recognized leaders in the\nnationwide minority business community. They are advocates and\nsponsors of the struggling small minority businesses. ASI and Mr.\nRomero are sterling examples of what the small disadvantaged\nprogram can produce.\nMr. Romero is also a respected member of and participant in many\nlocal and national non-profit and leadership organizations and\nrecently, the corporation has been singled out by the U.S.\nDepartment of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), for high\nquality performance on the firm's environmental mapping contractor\nfor the BOR.\nASI's policies for recruitment are designed to ensure that the most\ncapable and qualified individuals are assigned to projects, without\nregard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, marital\nstatus, handicap, or status as a veteran. ASI has never had an EEO\ncomplaint filed, nor any other adverse personnel action recorded.\nAUG-31-'89 THU 15:18 ID:U SHCC\nTEL NO: 816-756-0575\n#507 P25\nITEM #2\nOrganizations Affiliated with\nAUG-31-'89 THU 15:19 ID:USHCC\nTEL NO:816-756-0575\n#507 P26\nORGANIZATIONS:\nA founder and member, Albuquerque Hispano Chamber\nof Commerce\nMember, Board of Directors, Latin American\nManufacturers Association (LAMA)\nMember, Board of Directors, Hispanic Culture\nFoundation\nMember, Board of Directors, 8 (a) Association\nMember, GI Forum\nMember, Hallmark Broadcast Advisory Board\nMember, Board of Directors, Congressional Hispanic\nCaucus, Inc.\nMember, New Mexico Industry and Commerce\nMember, New Mexico Retail Association\nMember, New Mexico Solar Energy Association\nMember, Solar Lobby\nPOLITICAL\nORGANIZATIONS:\nMember, Board of Directors, Democratic National\nCommittee\nMember, Board of Directors, National Association\nof Latin American Elected Officials (NALEO)\nMember, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee\nPast Chairman, Bernalillo County, New Mexico\nDemocratic Party\nPast Member, Carter for President National\nFinance Committee\nPast Member, Mondale for President National\nFinance Committee\nAUG-31-'89 THU 15:19 ID:U SHCC\nTEL NO:816-756-0575\n#507 P27\nITEM #4\nImportant Ingredients for Success\nAUG-31-'89 THU 15:20 ID:U SHCC\nTEL NO:816-756-0575\n#507 P28\n\"DETERMINATION\".

He and four\nother supervisors set public policy for\nthe county's 1.4 million residents in the\nNorthern California County, also\nknown as the Silicon Valley, About fif-\nteen percent of the district residents are\nHispanic and concentrated in east San\nJose along with other minorities.\nSan Jose, the county seat, along with\napproximately 10 surrounding commu-\nnities, is dominated by high-tech and de-\nfense companies like Apple Computers,\nHewlett-Packard Co. and Lockheed\nCorp., where engineers and a fast-pace\nlifestyle abound.\nGonzales' victory signals a new style\nof Hispanic leadership. The former\nHewlett-Packard marketing manager, is\nnow the highest ranking Hispanic\nelected official in the county. His elec-\ntion follows an eight-year city council\nstint in Sunnyvale, California, a city of\napproximately 115,000 residents, where\nhe also served two years as mayor.\n\"I represent a new wave of success for\nHispanic politicians.\" he said. \"I'm one\nvoice for the Hispanic people, coming\nRon Gonzales, first Hispanic to be elected to the Santa Clare County California\nout of an era of divisiveness amongst\nBoard of Supervisors.\nHispanics that was an outgrowth of the\nCivil Rights movement, where prob-\nlems with power and ego held us\ndown.\"\nGonzales saw the dissention when he\nANEW STYLE OF\nattended community meetings with his\nfather, Bob Sr., a Hispanic activist and\ncommunity organizer.

They\nfocus on how the bill will safeguard and stabilize America's\nfinancial system, and protect America's small savers.\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nOffice of the Press Secretary\nFor Immediate Release\nSeptember 5, 1989\nADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT\nON NATIONAL DRUG POLICY\nThe Oval Office\n9:00 P.M. EDT\nTHE PRESIDENT: Good evening. This is the first time\nsince taking the oath of office that I felt an issue was so\nimportant, so threatening that it warranted talking directly with\nyou, the American people. All of us agree that the gravest domestic\nthreat facing our nation today is drugs.\nDrugs have strained our faith in our system of justice.\nOur courts, our prisons, our legal system are stretched to the\nbreaking point. The social costs of drugs are mounting. In short,\ndrugs are sapping our strength as a nation. Turn on the evening news\nor pick up the morning paper and you'll see what some Americans know\njust by stepping out their front door: Our most serious problem\ntoday is cocaine and, in particular, crack.\nWho's responsible? Let me tell you straight out.\nEveryone who uses drugs. Everyone who sells drugs. And\neveryone who looks the other way.\nTonight, I'll tell you how many Americans are using\nillegal drugs. I will present to you our national strategy to deal\nwith every aspect of this threat. And I will ask you to get involved\nin what promises to be a very difficult fight.\nThis -- this is crack cocaine seized a few days ago by\nDrug Enforcement agents in a park just across the street from the\nWhite House. It could easily have been heroine or PCP. It's as\ninnocent looking as candy, but it's turning our cities into battle\nzones and it is murdering our children. Let there be no mistake,\nthis stuff is poison. Some used to call drugs harmless recreation.\nThey're not. Drugs are a real and terribly dangerous threat to our\nneighborhoods, our friends and our families.\nNo one among us is out of harm's way. When\nfour-year-olds play in playgrounds strewn with discarded hypodermic\nneedles and crack vials -- it breaks my heart. When cocaine -- one\nof the most deadly and addictive illegal drugs -- is available to\nschool kids -- school kids -- it's an outrage. And when hundreds of\nthousands of babies are born each year to mothers who use drugs --\npremature babies born desperately sick -- then even the most\ndefenseless among us are at risk.\nThese are the tragedies behind the statistics. But the\nnumbers also have quite a story to tell. Let me share with you the\nresults of the recently completed Household Survey of the National\nInstitute on Drug Abuse. It compares recent drug use to three years\nago. It tells us some good news and some very bad news. First, the\ngood.\nAs you can see in the chart, in 1985, the government\nestimated that 23 million Americans were using drugs on a \"current\"\nbasis -- that is, at least once in the preceding month. Last year,\nthat number fell by more than a third. That means almost nine\nmillion fewer Americans are casual drug users. Good news.\nMORE\n- 2 -\nBecause we changed our national attitude toward drugs,\ncasual drug use has declined. We have many to thank: Our brave\nlaw-enforcement officers, religious leaders, teachers, community\nactivists, and leaders of business and labor. We should also thank\nthe media for their exhaustive news and editorial coverage and for\ntheir air time and space for antidrug messages. And finally, I want\nto thank President and Mrs. Reagan for their leadership. All of\nthese good people told the truth -- that drug use is wrong and\ndangerous.\nBut as much comfort as we can draw from these dramatic\nreductions, there is also bad news -- very bad news. Roughly eight\nmillion people have used cocaine in the past year, almost one million\nof them used it frequently -- once a week or more.\nWhat this means is that, in spite of the fact that\noverall cocaine use is down, frequent use has almost doubled in the\nlast few years. And that's why habitual cocaine users --- especially\ncrack users -- are the most pressing, immediate drug problem.\nWhat, then, is our plan? To begin with, I trust the\nlesson of experience: No single policy will cut it, no matter how\nglamorous or magical it may sound. To win the war against addictive\ndrugs like crack will take more than just a federal strategy. It\nwill take a national strategy, one that reaches into every school,\nevery workplace, involving every family.\nEarlier today, I sent this document, our first such\nnational strategy, to the Congress. It was developed with the hard\nwork of our nation's first Drug Policy Director, Bill Bennett. In\npreparing this plan, we talked with state, local and community\nleaders, law enforcement officials and experts in education, drug\nprevention, and rehabilitation. We talked with parents and kids. We\ntook a long, hard look at all that the federal government has done\nabout drugs in the past: What's worked, and - let's be honest --\nwhat hasn't. Too often, people in government acted as if their part\nof the problem whether fighting drug production, or drug\nsmuggling, or drug demand -- was the only problem. But turf battles\nwon't win this war. Teamwork will.\nTonight, I'm announcing a strategy that reflects the\ncoordinated, cooperative commitment of all our federal agencies. In\nshort, this plan is as comprehensive as the problem. With this\nstrategy, we now finally have a plan that coordinates our resources,\nour programs and the people who run them.\nOur weapons in this strategy are the law and criminal\njustice system, our foreign policy, our treatment systems, and our\nschools and drug prevention programs. So the basic weapons we need\nare the ones we already have. What's been lacking is a strategy to\neffectively use them.\nLet me address four of the major elements of our\nstrategy.\nFirst, we are determined to enforce the law, to make our\nstreets and neighborhoods safe. So to start, I'm proposing that we\nmore than double federal assistance to state and local law\nenforcement. Americans have a right to safety in and around their\nhomes. And we won't have safe neighborhoods unless we're tough on\ndrug criminals -- much tougher than we are now. Sometimes that means\ntougher penalties. But more often it just means punishment that is\nswift and certain. We've all heard stories about drug dealers who\nare caught and arrested -- again and again -- but never punished.\nWell, here the rules have changed: If you sell drugs, you will be\ncaught. And when you're caught, you will be prosecuted. And once\nyou're convicted, you will do time. Caught. Prosecuted. Punished.\nI'm also proposing that we enlarge our criminal justice\nsystem across the board -- at the local, state and federal levels\nalike. We need more prisons, more jails, more courts, more\nprosecutors. So tonight, I'm requesting -- altogether -- an almost\nMORE\n- 3 -\n$1.5 billion increase in drug-related federal spending on law\nenforcement.\nAnd while illegal drug use is found in every community,\nnowwhere is it worse than in our public housing projects. You know,\nthe poor have never had it easy in this world. But in the past, they\nweren't mugged on the way home from work by crack gangs. And their\nchildren didn't have to dodge bullets on the way to school. And\nthat's why I'm-targeting $50-million to fight crime in public housing\nprojects -- to help restore order and to kick out the dealers for\ngood.\nThe second element of our strategy looks beyond our\nborders where the cocaine and crack bought on America's streets is\ngrown and processed. In Colombia alone, cocaine killers have gunned\ndown a leading statesman, murdered almost 200 judges and seven\nmembers of their Supreme Court. The besieged governments of the\ndrug-producing countries are fighting back, fighting to break the\ninternational drug rings. But you and I agree with the courageous\nPresident of Colombia, Virgilio Barco, who said that if Americans use\ncocaine, then Americans are paying for murder. American cocaine\nusers need to understand that our nation has zero tolerance for\ncasual drug use. We have a responsibility not to leave our brave\nfriends in Colombia to fight alone.\nThe $65-million emergency assistance announced two weeks\nago was just our first step in assisting the Andean nations in their\nfight against the cocaine cartels. Colombia has already arrested\nsuppliers, seized tons of cocaine and confiscated palatial homes of\ndrug lords. But Colombia faces a long, uphill battle, so we must be\nready to do more.\nOur strategy allocates more than a quarter of a billion\ndollars for next year in military and law enforcement assistance for\nthe three Andean nations of Colombia, Bolivia and Peru. This will be\nthe first part of a five-year, $2-billion program to counter the\nproducers, the traffickers and the smugglers.\nI spoke with President Barco just last week, and we hope\nto meet with the leaders of affected countries in an unprecedented\ndrug summit, all to coordinate an inter-American strategy against the\ncartels. We will work with our allies and friends -- especially our\neconomic summit partners -- to do more in the fight against drugs.\nI'm also asking the Senate to ratify the United Nations Antidrug\nConvention concluded last December.\nTo stop those drugs on the way to America, I propose that\nwe spend more than $1.5 billion on interdiction. Greater interagency\ncooperation, combined with sophisticated intelligence-gathering and\nDefense Department technology can help stop drugs at our borders.\nAnd our message to the drug cartels is this: The rules\nhave changed. We will help any government that wants our help. When\nrequested, we will for the first time make available the appropriate\nresources of America's armed forces. We will intensify our efforts\nagainst drug smugglers on the high seas, in international airspace\nand at our borders. We will stop the flow of chemicals from the\nUnited States used to process drugs. We will pursue and enforce\ninternational agreements to track drug money to the front men and\nfinanciers. And then we will handcuff these money launderers and\njail them -- just like any street dealer. And for the drug kingpins,\nthe death penalty.\nThe third part of our strategy concerns drug treatment.\nExperts believe that there are two million American drug users who\nmay be able to get off drugs with proper treatment. But right now,\nonly 40 percent of them are actually getting help. This is simply\nnot good enough.\nMany people who need treatment won't seek it on their\nown. And some who do seek it are put on a waiting list. Most\nprograms were set up to deal with heroin addicts, but today, the\nMORE\n- 4 -\nmajor problem is cocaine users. It's time we expand our treatment\nsystems and do a better job of providing services to those who need\nthem.\nAnd so tonight, I'm proposing an increase of $321 million\nin federal spending on drug treatment.\nWith this strategy, we will do more. We will work with\nthe states. We will encourage employers to establish employee\nassistance programs to cope with drug use. And because addiction is\nsuch a cruel inheritance, we will intensify our search for ways to\nhelp expectant mothers who use drugs.\nFourth, we must stop illegal drug use before it starts.\nUnfortunately, it begins early - for many kids, before their teens.\nBut it doesn't start the way you might think, from a dealer or an\naddict hanging around a school playground. More often, our kids\nfirst get their drugs free, from friends, or even from older brothers\nor sisters. Peer pressure spreads drug use. Peer pressure can help\nstop it.\nI am proposing a quarter-of-a-billion-dollar increase in\nfederal funds for school and community prevention programs that help\nyoung people and adults reject enticements to try drugs. And I'm\nproposing something else. Every school, college and university ---\nand every workplace -- must adopt tough but fair policies about drug\nuse by students and employees. And those that will not adopt such\npolicies will not get federal funds. Period.\nThe private sector also has an important role to play. I\nspoke with a businessman named Jim Burke who said he was haunted by\nthe thought -- a nightmare, really - that somewhere in America, at\nany given moment, there is a teenage girl who should be in school,\ninstead of giving birth to a child addicted to cocaine. So Jim did\nsomething. He led an antidrug partnership, financed by private\nfunds, to work with advertisers and media firms. Their partnership\nis now determined to work with our strategy by generating educational\nmessages worth a million dollars a day -- every day for the next\nthree years -- a billion dollars worth of advertising, all to promote\nthe antidrug message.\nAs President, one of my first missions is to keep the\nnational focus on our offensive against drugs. And so next week I\nwill take the antidrug message to the classrooms of America in a\nspecial television address, one that I hope will reach every school,\nevery young American. But drug education doesn't begin in class or\non TV. It must begin at home and in the neighborhood. Parents and\nfamilies must set the first example of a drug-free life. And when\nfamilies are broken, caring friends and neighbors must step in.\nThese are the most important elements in our strategy to\nfight drugs. They are all designed to reinforce one another, to mesh\ninto a powerful whole, to mount an aggressive attack on the problem\nfrom every angle. This is the first time in the history of our\ncountry, that we truly have a comprehensive strategy.\nAs you can tell, such an approach will not come cheaply.\nLast February, I asked for a $700-million increase in the drug budget\nfor the coming year. And now, over the past six months of careful\nstudy, we have found an immediate need for another $1.5 billion.\nWith this added $2.2 billion, our 1990 drug budget totals almost $8\nbillion the largest increase in history.\nWe need this program fully implemented -- right away.\nThe next fiscal year begins just 26 days from now. So tonight, I'm\nasking the Congress -- which has helped us formulate this strategy --\nto help us move it forward immediately.\nWe can pay for this fight against drugs without raising\ntaxes or adding to the budget deficit. We have submitted our plan to\nCongress that shows just how to fund it within the limits of our\nbipartisan budget agreement.\nMORE\n- 5 -\nNow, I know some will still say that we're not spending\nenough money. But those who judge our strategy only by its price tag\nsimply don't understand the problem. Let's face it, we've all seen\nin the past that money alone won't solve our toughest problems.\nTo be strong and efficient, our strategy needs these\nfunds. But there is no match for a united America, a determined\nAmerica, an angry America. Our outrage against drugs unites us,\nbrings us together behind this one plan of action, an assault on\nevery front.\nThis is the toughest domestic challenge we've faced in\ndecades. And it's a challenge we must face -- not as Democrats or\nRepublicans, liberals or conservatives -- but as Americans. The key\nis a coordinated, united effort. We've responded faithfully to the\nrequest of the Congress to produce our nation's first national drug\nstrategy. I'll be looking to the Democratic majority and our\nRepublicans in Congress for leadership and bipartisan support. And\nour citizens deserve cooperation, not competition; a national effort,\nnot a partisan bidding war.\nTo start, Congress needs not only to act on this national\ndrug strategy, but also to act on our crime package announced last\nMay; a package to toughen sentences, beef up law enforcement and\nbuild new prison space for 24,000 inmates.\nYou and I both know the federal government can't do it\nalone. The states need to match tougher federal laws with tougher\nlaws of their own -- stiffer bail, probation, parole and sentencing.\nAnd we need your help. If people you know are users,\nhelp them -- help them get off drugs. If you're a parent, talk to\nyour kids about drugs -- tonight.\nCall your local drug prevention program. Be a Big\nBrother or Sister to a child in need. Pitch in with your local\nNeighborhood Watch program. Whether you give your time or talent,\neveryone counts.\nEvery employer who bans drugs from the workplace. Every\nschool that's tough on drug use. Every neighborhood in which drugs\nare not welcome. And most important, every one of you who refuses to\nlook the other way. Every one of you counts.\nOf course, victory will take hard work and time. But\ntogether we will win -- too many young lives are at stake.\nNot long ago, I read a newspaper story about a little boy\nnamed Dooney, who, until recently, lived in a crack house in a suburb\nof Washington, D.C. In Dooney's neighborhood, children don't flinch\nat the sound of gunfire. And when they play, they pretend to sell to\neach other small white rocks that they call crack.\nLife at home was so cruel that Dooney begged his teachers\nto let him sleep on the floor at school. And when asked about his\nfuture, six-year-old Dooney answers, \"I don't want to sell drugs, but\nI'll probably have to.\"\nWell, Dooney does not have to sell drugs. No child in\nAmerica should have to live like this. Together as a people we can\nsave these kids. We've already transformed a national attitude of\ntolerance into one of condemnation. But the war on drugs will be\nhard-won, child. neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block, child by\nIf we fight this war as a divided nation, then the war is\nlost. But if we face this evil as a nation united, this will be\nnothing but a handful of useless chemicals.\nVictory. Victory over drugs is our cause, a just cause\nand, with your help, we are going to win.\nThank you, God bless you, and good night.\nEND\n9:23 P.M. EDT\n(Smith/Blessey)\nSeptember 4, 1989\nDraft Three\nHISPANIC\nPRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: HISPANIC CHAMBER\nNEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA\nFRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1989\nPresident Quintela -- how about that, two Odessa boys on the\nsame platform. Secretaries Lujan and Cavazos -- and I'm proud to\nsay that ours is the first Administration to have two Hispanic\nCabinet officials. Ladies and gentlemen. Friends.\nI want to thank you for that gracious introduction. And for\nthe warmth of your reception. And let me salute you for choosing\nas your convention site this beautiful City by the River.\nPearl Buck once described falling \"in love with Louisiana\ngenerally and New Orleans in particular.\" Well, that feeling\nhelps make New Orleans special. And I take special pleasure in\nbeing with you today.\nFor we meet not as strangers, but \"vecinos\" [Ve-CEE-noze:\nSpanish for \"neighbors\"]. And as businessmen and women. But\nmostly, perhaps, as citizens who understand how Hispanics have\nhelped America create a greater land for us all.\nNine years ago, America officially began The Decade of The\nHispanic. And now, at decade's end, Hispanics are America's\nfastest-growing -- and, often -- fastest rising minority.\nEnriching America socially and academically, economically and\nspiritually. Living, more than ever, the American Dream.\n1980 neressed 1988 Mg behicar\nof\nCongarac\nto\n2\nIn one sense, the past decade has reaffirmed that dream --\nthe dream which brought your parents, your grandparents, and some\nof you to America. For you came to build a better life -- and\nyou are building it. Building it in our schools, our police\nforce, and in small and large business. Building it for your\nkids -- and my grandkids [PAUSE]\nall eleven of them.\nBut in another sense, the past decade is but a preview of\ncoming attractions. For it can be a gateway to tomorrow -- much\nas America has been a gateway for you. The theme of this\nconvention is \"gateway to the Americas.\" Well, today it is\ngateways I'd like to talk about: Gateways to the prosperity and\nstability that make progress possible.\nFirst, the gateway to the prosperity which fosters equal\nopportunity. or as Winston Churchill said: \"Some people regard\nprivate enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look\non it as a COW they can milk. Not enough people see it as a\nhealthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon. \"\nChurchill spoke those words in 19 And in 1989 they're\nmore true than ever. For Hispanic business is a healthy horse.\nAmerica is that healthy wagon. And on the buckboard, with the\nreins up-high, are entrepreneurs like you.\nNo government planner, for instance, decided that Marconi\nwould invent the wireless. Or that something called an auto\nwould rise from the dust of Dearborn. And what might have\nhappened -- or worse, what might not have happened -- had the\nWright brothers been forced to wait for Washington's approval\n3\nbefore testing their flying machine? [PAUSE]\nIf they had,\nI might have come here today by steamboat, not by air.\nThey knew, as you do, that the gateway to prosperity isn't\nbigger government. It's bigger dreams.\nLook at Pedro Garza, a former migrant worker who overcame\ndisability to own a construction company with $4.5 million in\nsales. or Patricia Rivera, the Hispanic Businesswoman of the\nYear. Or the father-and-son team of Louis and Fred Ruiz, who in\n1964 started a food business in an old warehouse with a battered\nstove, small freezer, and single mixer. And who now employ 534\nworkers. They prove -- as you do -- that while government can\ncreate opportunity, it is Americans who seize opportunity.\nOver the past decade, heroes like these -- and millions of\nunsung Hispanic-American heroes -- have sought a ladder, not a\ncrutch. Here's a partial score card of your success: Since\n1980, Hispanic-American-owned businesses have doubled. And\ntoday, they total nearly 250,000. They boast more than\nfull-time employees. And earn $15 billion in receipts each year.\nImpressive? You bet. Good enough? Never. For as long as one\nHispanic-American is bereft of hope, that is one American too\nmany.\nYou know, my home state's to the west of here. Place called\nTexas. And equidistant from Houston and New Orleans is the home\nstate of America's favorite humorist. Will Rogers. Once, Will\nsaid of the bureaucracy, \"We are always reading statistics and\nfigures. Half of America does nothing but prepare propaganda for\n4\nthe other half to read. \" Propaganda won't build a gateway to\nprosperity. But partnerships can, and are.\nPartnerships are cooperative efforts involving government,\nprivate enterprise, and voluntary organizations. As Vice-\nPresident, I headed the President's Task Force on Public-Private\nPartnerships. And knowing how partnerships can spur development,\nwe have tried to build on what the Reagan Administration began.\nI think, pnd for example, of the Minority Small Business Program\nhis\nSuthousinds\n-- the \"8-A\" program\nwhich helps Hispanics and other minority\nowned companies obtain Federal contracts. Or our nationwide\neducation and counseling services for small business owners;\ntoday -- count 'em -- 13,000 retired executives voluntarily\nserve. And we've tried to spur projects like loan program 7-A,\nwhich this year will grant $2.6 billion to help more than 265,000\nfirms. Projects which are helping HIspanics travel America's\ngateway to the future.\nThese partnerships will aid the shop owner in Los Angeles,\nthe small developer in Des Moines. And so will one final project\nI'd like to mention: A partnership with the 1990 census. Today,\nthere are 19.5 million Hispanic-Americans. I urge you to make\nthem count. Tell your friends and neighbors to cooperate with\nCensus officials. Don't let the Decade of The Hispanic go\nunreflected in this survey. So remember that the more accurate\nthe Census is, the greater Hispanics' influence. And how this\npartnership -- like our other partnerships -- can help people\nhelp themselves.\n5\nSo far, I have talked of the prosperity which can better the\nlives of every American. And in that context, let me speak of\nour relationship with Mexico.\nTwo months ago, I met with President Salinas at the Economic\nSummit. Since then, by restructuring her economy -- reducing\ntrade barriers -- and honoring her creditors through the pact\nwith the Bankers Advisory Committee -- Mexico has opened the\ngateway of increased trade with America. We welcome this\ncommerce. For Mexico is our third-largest trading partner. And\nwe look forward to next month's State visit by President Salinas.\nTogether, we can build a gateway to the 1990s that will provide\nboth Mexico and America with economic opportunity and stability.\nNow, let me speak of another kind of gateway. It, too,\ninvolves trade -- but a different kind. The drug trade.\nConsider these statistics. Last year, the government\nestimated that 23 million Americans used illegal drugs on a\n\"current\" basis -- that is, at least once in the preceding 30\ndays. Last year, more than 8 million people used cocaine. And\nalmost 1 million used it once a week or more. Last year -- every\nyear -- hundreds of thousands of babies are born to mothers who\nuse drugs -- babies born desperately sick, weeks or months\npremature. A Nation with those numbers cannot long preserve its\nsoul.\nThat is why three nights ago, I announced America's first\nnational, comprehensive, and coordinated strategy to wage\nunconditional war against the scourge of drugs.\n6\nOur drug plan has four elements.\nFirst, enforcement, using our laws and criminal justice\nsystem. For America must take back the streets. We need more\njails, more prisons, more courts, more prosecutors. And tougher\nsentences. Drug dealers deserve a gateway, all right -- a\ngateway to the slammer. And for the ultimate drug violators --\nthe kingpins themselves -- they should receive the ultimate\npenalty.\nSecond, interdiction, as a tool of foreign policy. Working\nwith other governments, we're going to break the international\ndrugs rings who grow and process cocaine and crack. I agree with\nPresident Barco of Columbia: If you use cocaine, you are paying\nfor murder.\nThe third part of our strategy is treatment, to help addicts\nwho want to get clean. With special emphasis on expectant\nmothers. And finally, our drug program aims to stop use before\nit starts. Through education and prevention. From grade school\nto graduate school.\nThis plan can help stop the trade I spoke of earlier. Some\ntrade builds lives. Drug trade takes lives. Lives like the New\nYork woman, Maria Hernandez, I talked about Tuesday night -- shot\nto death in her bedroom one morning because she and her husband\nhad confronted local dealers. We must save lives. And end this\ntrade. But it won't come cheaply.\nMaybe you tuned in Tuesday night. If so, you heard me\npropose a 1990 drug budget totaling almost $8 billion -- the\n7\nlargest single increase in history. An increase of $1.4 billion\nfor drug-related spending on law enforcement. Over $233 million\nmore for prevention programs. An additional $260 million in aid\nnext year for Columbia, Bolivia, and Peru, a five-year, $2-\nbillion program to counter the producers, the traffickers, and\nthe smugglers.\nYes, government will do its part. But as with any\npartnership, government can't do it alone. We're all in this\ntogether -- from cops to teachers, from parents to clergymen.\nAnd we'll have to fight together to crush the drug menace at\nevery turn. Fighting in the barrios, and the boardrooms. In the\ncities, and the towns. Winning kid-by-kid, house-by-house, and\nneighborhood-by-neighborhood. Putting the emphasis where the\nproblem is -- locally, in the community.\nFellow parents and businessmen -- fellow Americans -- that's\nwhere you come in. For drug use isn't merely numbers. It's the\nyoung boy tormented by cocaine addiction. or the pregnant mother\nwhose crack use impairs her child. At stake is the very future\nof the Hispanic community. I'm referring to our kids.\nSo I challenge you: Get involved. There are so many who\nneed your help. Join grass-roots groups like the Miami Coalition\nof leaders from business, education, government, and law\nenforcement to stop drug use. Take the time to really know your\nneighborhood at home and work. Help your church, and anti-drug\nparents'groups. Support drug programs in your children's school.\n8\nFinally, let me ask you -- as fellow businessmen and women -\n- to start something no one else can do: Use your place of\nbusiness as a storefront against drugs. Display brochures and\nbanners. Employ volunteer counselors. Be a symbol for your\ncommunity, and especially its youth. Join the ranks of the\ncaring and committed. Help win this great crusade.\nWill you enlist? I believe you will. For Barbara and I\nhave spent much of our lives among Hispanic Americans. Building\na business. Raising children. Trying to live, like you, the\nvalues of faith, family, work, community, and above all, freedom.\nOur son Jeb's wife, Columba, is Hispanic. And they've got three\nkids. So, you see, the Bush family feels doubly blessed. The\nHispanic culture is our culture, too.\nIn Hispanic America, roots run deep -- and aspirations high.\nIts people ask not the promise of success -- only the opportunity\nto succeed.\nIn Hispanic America, citizens reject tyranny and oppression.\nAnd the dependency which starves the spirit and cheats the soul.\nHispanic America is at her best when the challenge is\ngreatest. So together, let us open the gateways of prosperity\nand stability. And build for our children a better tomorrow.\nThey are the trustees of America's future. Let their horizons\ntouch the sky.\nI appreciate your kindness, and the chance to share this\noccasion. God bless you, thank you all, and God bless America.\n# # #\nRujon Columbus Comm. of 1992\nMinority Enterprise\nSoon Engelighter\n8A program - fed! regulations\nBs. comme\nDept. of Camm. - new\nNSC\nNew relationship w/ Mexico\nsending\nlong. this\nSolinas on Oct, 3\noff.\nMr. Price X. 4592\nR Opening up\nJames Mocinolty (6 647 9292 trade P goteway to Mexicon\nCensu )\nCorey Bossett 673- 2829\nwith collage\nDavid Tell - hisponics drugs Statistics on HOW high\nShince\nArther Houghton Hisponic drug Loe\ncoil coil me me\nStats on Hisponic tas.\nDona\nCathing\nEx.

Secretaries Lujan and Cavazos -- and if I could\nbrag a moment, ours is the first Administration to have two\nHispanic Cabinet officials. Ladies and gentlemen. Friends.\nI want to thank you for that gracious introduction. And for\nthe warmth of your reception. And let me salute you for choosing\nas your convention site this beautiful City by the River.\nPearl Buck once described falling \"in love with Louisiana\ngenerally and New Orleans in particular.\" And Jack Kerouac wrote\nof \"air so sweet it seemed to come in soft bandannas.\"\nWell, those qualities -- among others -- make New Orleans\nvery special. And let me add that I take special pleasure in\nbeing with you today.\nFor we meet not as strangers, but \"vecinos\" [Ve-CEE-noze:\nSpanish for \"neighbors\"]. And as businessmen and women. But\nmostly, perhaps, as citizens who understand how Hispanics have\nhelped America create a greater land for all.\nNine years ago, America officially began The Decade of the\nHispanic. And now, at decade's end, Hispanics are America's\nfastest-growing -- and, often -- fastest-rising minority.\nput\n2\nEnriching America socially and academically, economically and\nspiritually. Living, more than ever, the American Dream.\nIn one sense, the past decade has ratified that dream -- the\ndream which brought your parents, your grandparents, and some of\nyou to America. For you came to build a better life -- and you\nare building it. Building it in our schools, our police force,\nand in small and large business. Building it for your kids\nand my grandkids [PAUSE ]\nall eleven of them.\nBut in another sense, the past decade is but a preview of\ncoming attractions. For it can be a gateway to tomorrow -- much\nas America has been a gateway for you. The theme of this\nconvention is \"Gateway to the Americas.\" Well, today it is\ngateways I'd like to talk about: The gateway to prosperity and\nopportunity; the gateway to stability both at home and abroad.\nFirst, the gateway to the prosperity which fosters equal\nopportunity. Or as Winston Churchill said: \"Some people regard\nprivate enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look\non it as a COW they can milk. Not enough people see it as a\nhealthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.\"\nChurchill spoke those words in 19 And in 1989 they're\nmore true than ever. For Hispanic business is a healthy horse.\nAmerica is that healthy wagon. And at the helm -- behind the\nbuckboard, with the reins up-high -- are entrepreneurs like you.\nNo government planner, for instance, decided that Marconi\nwould invent the wireless. Or that something called an auto\nwould rise from the dust of Dearborn. And what might have\n3\nhappened -- or worse, what might not have happened -- had the\nWright brothers been forced to wait for Washington's approval\nbefore testing their flying machine? [PAUSE]\nIf they had, I\nmight have come here today by rick-shaw, not by air.\nThey knew, as you do, that the gateway to prosperity isn't\nBigger Government. It's bigger dreams.\nLook at Pedro Garza, a former migrant worker who overcame\ndisability to own a construction company with $4.5 million in\nsales. Or Patricia Rivera, the Hispanic Businesswoman of the\nYear, whose pioneering efforts have stirred growth and human\ndignity. Or the father-and-son team of Louis and Fred Ruiz, who\nin 1964 started a food business in an old warehouse with a\nbattered stove, small freezer, and single mixer. And who now\nemploy 534 workers. They prove -- as you do -- that while\ngovernment can create opportunity, it is Americans who seize\nopportunity.\nOver the past decade, heroes like these -- and millions of\nunsung Hispanic heroes -- have sought a ladder, not a crutch.\nAnd we want to help them create that job, buy that home, and\nensure a better life. Here's a partial score card of victories:\nSince 1980, Hispanic-owned businesses have doubled. And today,\nthey total nearly 250,000. They boast more than\nfull-time\nemployees. And earn $15 billion in receipts each year.\n5BP\nImpressive? You bet. Good enough? Never. For as long as one\nHispanic is bereft of hope, that is one Hispanic too many.\n4\nYou know, my home state's to the west of here. Place called\nTexas. And equadistant from Houston and New Orleans is the home\nstate of America's favorite humorist. Will Rogers. Once, Will\nsaid of the bureaucracy, \"We are always reading statistics and\nfigures. Half of America does nothing but prepare propaganda for\nthe other half to read.\" Propaganda won't built a gateway to\nprosperity. But partnerships can, and are.\nPartnerships are cooperative efforts involving all levels of\ngovernment, private enterprise, and voluntary organizations.\nThey assist the shop owner in Los Angeles, the small developer in\nDes Moines. And they can change this equation: While Hispanics\ncomprise 8 per cent of our population, they own only 2 per cent\nof our businesses. Most of all, by rewarding initiative, they\ncan help people help themselves.\nAs Vice-President, I headed the President's Task Force on\nPublic-Private Partnerships. I know how partnerships can spur\ndevelopment, and propel the economy. Accordingly, for the past\nseven months, we've shifted into overdrive.\nI think, for example, of the Minority Small Business Program\n-- the \"8-A\" program -- which helps Hispanics and other minority-\nowned companies obtain Federal contracts. Or our nationwide\neducation and counseling services for small business owners;\ntoday -- count 'em -- 13,000 retired executives voluntarily\nserve. And we've tried to spur projects like loan program 7-A,\nwhich this year will grant $2.6 billion to help more than 265,000\nfirms. Projects which are helping Hispanics board America's\n5\nthese\ngateway to the future. So get involved.\nUtilize\nthese programs.\nCall our toll-free number: 1-800-368-5855. And live these words\nof Thomas Wolfe: \"To every man his\nshining golden\nopportunity. This,\" he said, \"is the promise of America.\"\nSo far, I have talked of the prosperity which nurtures\npre\nsocial justice. And in that context, let me speak of our\nrelationship with Mexico.\nTwo months ago, I met with President Salinas at the Economic\nSummit. Since then, by restructuring her economy -- reducing\ntrade barriers -- and honoring her creditors through the pact\nwith the Bankers Advisory Committee -- Mexico has opened the\ngateway of increased trade with America. We welcome this\ncommerce -- both ways. For Mexico is our third-largest trading\npartner. And we look forward to next month's State visit by\nPresident Salinas. Together, we can build a gateway to the 1990s\nthat allows both Mexico and America to live in mutual stability.\nNow, let me speak of another kind of gateway. It, too, can\nbe a gateway to stability. And it, too, involves trade -- but of\na different sort entirely. I. refer, of course, to the curse\nwhich stalks our hemisphere. The mindless curse of drugs.\npremise\nYou know, as an aside: Several days ago, preparing these\nthe\nremarks, I came across some numbers. One was good; the others,\nbod\nnot\nvery bad. First, the good number 19.5 million -- the number of\nHispanics in the United States. And I urge you to make them\nLoge Hisponic communities\nsoud\ncount. Please -- cooperate with officials of the 1990 Census.\nmisin\nDon't let The Decade of The Hispanic be unreflected by the polls.\nISUNG\nAre\nwifore\ni\n6\nBut as I said, there are numbers other than 19.5 million\nHispanics -- numbers compiled by the National Institute on Drug\nAbuse. Numbers like the 23 million Americans who last year used\nillegal drugs on a \"current\" basis --- at least once in the\npreceding 30 days. Or the 8 million people who used cocaine in\n1988. Or the almost one million who used it once a week or more.\nA Nation with those numbers cannot long preserve its soul.\nThat is why three nights ago, I announced America's first\ncomprehensive strategy to mobilize our resources -- and to wage\nunconditional war. A war against the flow and use of drugs. A\nwar to take back the streets by hauling death-peddlers off the\nstreets. A war which will summon our heart and will to end the\nslaughter, and ensure stability -- for our Nation, and our kids.\nMaybe you tuned in Tuesday night. I hope SO. For we're all\nin this together. And we'll have to fight together -- on each\nand every front. Supply and demand. Education and\nrehabilitation. Interdiction and enforcement. In the barrios,\nand the boardrooms. In the cities, and the towns. Winning kid-\nby-kid, and house-by-house. Putting the emphasis where the\nproblem is -- locally, in the community.\nOur drug program aims to stop use before it starts. Through\neducation and prevention -- from grade school to graduate school.\nAnd, second, through treatment, to help addicts who want to get\nclean. With special emphasis on expectant mothers. The third\npart of our strategy is simple: We want drug dealers to take a\ngateway, all right -- a gateway to the slammer. And for their\n7\nultimate bosses -- the drug lords -- life in prison, with zero --\nnada -- that's no parole. Finally, working with other\ngovernments, we're going to crack international drug rings.\nThat is the trade I spoke of earlier. Some trade builds\nlives. This trade takes lives. This trade enslaves the\nvulnerable, and the innocent -- like the New York woman, Maria\nHernandez, I talked about Tuesday night -- shot to death in her\nbedroom one morning because she and her husband had confronted\nlocal dealers.\nI have said this trade, and scourge, must stop. And it\nwill. But not without your help. Again, we turn to\npartnerships. Yes, government will do its part. Our program\nwill cost $8 billion. Some will aid governments in Columbia and\nPeru oust drug king-pins, slugs, and thugs. But you, too, must\nplay a part. For while drug abuse is America's problem, it is\nespecially a poor, urban, and minority problem.\nConsider these numbers:\n-\nAnd not merely numbers -- but\nthe little boy tormented by cocaine -- the pregnant mother whose\ndrug use maims her child -- the living, breathing future of the\nHispanic community. You must help them, and can.\nJoin grass-roots groups, for instance, like the Miami\nCoaluation of leaders from business, education, government, and\nlaw enforcement. Urge our churches to get involved. Get support\nfrom anti-drug parents' groups. And information and assistance\nfrom our Federal clearinghouse. More personally, use your place\nof business as a storefront against drugs. Displaying brochures\n8\nand banners. Employing volunteer counselors. Give of your time\nand yourselves. Join the ranks of the caring and the committed.\nAfter all, if you don't enlist, who will? And if we don't,\nwho doubts that we will lose in this war what we have in others:\nThe lifeblood of Hispanic culture -- the trustees of its\nposterity. The stakes could not be bigger. And you know what?\nIf I could quote Humphrey Bogart from the movie Casablanca, \"My\nmoney's on you. \"\nP lot\nFor Barbara and I have spent most of our lives among\nHispanic Americans. Building a business. Raising children.\nTrying to live, (as you do the values of faith, family, work,\nneighborhood, and above all, freedom. Our son Jeb's wife,\nColumba, is Hispanic. And they've got three kids. So, you see,\nthe Bush family feels doubly blessed. The Hispanic culture is\nour culture, too.\nIn Hispanic America, roots run deep -- and aspirations high.\nIts people ask not the promise of success -- only the opportunity\nto succeed.\nIn Hispanic America, citizens reject tyranny and oppression.\nAnd the dependency which starves the spirit and cheats the soul.\nHispanic America asks only that the gateways I have talked\nabout -- the gateways of prosperity, and stability -- be thrown\nwide open. For our children deserve no less. So let us honor\nthem by the lives we lead. Building gateways which are just and\nfree. And whose horizons touch the sky.\n9\nI appreciate your kindness, and the chance to share this\noccasion. God bless you, thank you all, and \"Dios Bendiga\nAmerica\" [DEE-ose Ben-DEE-ga America].\n# # # #\nSeptember 7, 1989\nINFORMATION\nMEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT\nTHROUGH:\nCHRISS WINSTON\nFROM:\nCURT SMITH\nSUBJECT:\nREMARKS TO U.S. HISPANIC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE\nI. SUMMARY\nOn Friday, September 8, at noon, you will address the U.S.\nHispanic Chamber of Commerce Convention in the Fairmont Hotel in\nNew Orleans. Secretary Lujan will attend. About 1,000 people\nare expected to be in the audience.\nII. DISCUSSION\nThe enclosed remarks (15 minutes) discuss trade with Mexico,\nHispanic-American achievements, and the four main elements of\nour drug strategy. In particular, the remarks emphasize what the\nAdministration is doing for Hispanic-Americans. The remarks\nrequest their involvement as businessmen and community members to\nfight the war on drugs.\nNote: On page three in the fourth paragraph, the first\nsentence is bracketed because there is some concern about\nmentioning the \"8-A\" program due to possible Justice Department\nlitigation."
