FROM: David Q. Bates
I. PURPOSE
To witness the swearing in of Samuel K. Skinner as your

II. BACKGROUND
On December 22, 1988 you nominated Samuel Skinner to be your
Secretary of Transportation. He was confirmed unanimously
by the Senate on February 2 and officially sworn in by a
notary public following the vote.
Secretary Skinner has served since 1984 as Chairman of the
Regional Transportation Authority of Northeastern Illinois,
the United States' second largest public mass transportation
system. Secretary Skinner serves also as senior partner in
the Chicago office of the international law firm of Sidley
and Austin.
Secretary Skinner has requested that this event be held at
the Federal Aviation Administration Building because of the
recent controversy surrounding the Federal Aviation
Administration's relationship with the Department of
Transportation. The ceremony will be broadcast throughout
the building and via satellite to other Department of
Transportation locations in the country.
III. PARTICIPANTS
Mrs. Bush, Samuel Skinner, Governor James R. Thompson,
master of ceremonies, Judge Joel M. Flaum who will be
performing the ceremony, Captain P. Alan Plishker, Secretary
Skinner's children, Thomas, Steven and Jane Skinner and his
mother Imelda Skinner Malloy. Nine employees who represent
each administration of the Department of Transportation
will also be on stage.

SWEARING IN OF SAMUEL K. SKINNER
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1989
I AM HERE TODAY TO WELCOME INTO THE CABINET A MAN WHO
I BELIEVE IS DESTINED TO GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS ONE OF THE
TRULY OUTSTANDING SECRETARIES OF TRANSPORTATION -- SAM
SKINNER.
SAM HAS ALREADY MADE A NAME FOR HIMSELF AS A MIRACLE
WORKER IN TRANSPORTATION. SEVERAL YEARS AGO, MY GOOD
FRIEND GOVERNOR JIM THOMPSON OF ILLINOIS PUT HIM IN CHARGE
OF THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY OF NORTHEAST
ILLINOIS.
2
AT THE TIME THE R.T.A., AS IT IS KNOWN, WAS PLAGUED WITH
FINANCIAL TROUBLES AND DECLINING LEVELS OF SERVICE. SOME
SAID THAT SAM'S JOB WAS IMPOSSIBLE. BUT SAM ROLLED UP HIS
SLEEVES AND SET TO WORK. AND IN SHORT ORDER HE PUT THE
R.T.A. ON A SOUND FINANCIAL FOOTING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
YEARS.
BUT SAM'S EXPERTISE IN TRANSPORTATION DOES NOT STOP
THERE. HE'S AN INSTRUMENT RATED PILOT WHO HAS FLOWN IN
AND OUT OF CHICAGO'S O'HARE AIRPORT, ONE OF THE BUSIEST IN
THE NATION, MORE TIMES THAN HE CAN COUNT.
3
WHEN IT COMES TO AIR TRAVEL, HE WILL BRING A PILOT'S
PERSPECTIVE TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF OUR GOVERNMENT, AND
THAT MEANS A PERSPECTIVE THAT PUTS SAFETY FIRST, ABOVE ALL
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS.
You'D THINK ALL THIS WOULD BE ENOUGH, BUT I HAVEN'T
FINISHED SAM'S QUALIFICATIONS FOR THIS JOB. BESIDES
OVERSEEING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S ROLE IN MAINTAINING
AND IMPROVING OUR NATION'S TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS, THE
SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION HAS, AS ALL OF YOU KNOW, ONE
OTHER CRITICAL DUTY.
4
HE COMMANDS THE COAST GUARD -- AND THE COAST GUARD SERVES
ON THE FRONT LINES OF OUR WAR ON DRUGS. I CAN'T THINK OF
ANYONE IN AMERICA WHO HAS SAM SKINNER'S BACKGROUND IN
TRANSPORTATION AND HAS BEEN A DISTINGUISHED U.S. ATTORNEY,
PROSECUTING A NUMBER OF MAJOR CASES.
YES, SAM SKINNER IS THE IDEAL MAN FOR A JOB THAT
WILL, IN THE YEARS AHEAD, PRESENT EXTRAORDINARY
CHALLENGES. I'M SURE THAT I DON'T NEED TO REMIND ANYONE
IN THIS AUDIENCE OF THE HIGH PRIORITY MY ADMINISTRATION
PLACES ON THE WAR ON DRUGS.
5
I PLEDGED IN MY INAUGURAL ADDRESS THAT THIS SCOURGE WILL
STOP -- AND I AM DETERMINED THAT IT WILL. SAM WILL BE
WORKING CLOSELY WITH BILL BENNETT AND I KNOW THAT THEY ARE
GOING TO MAKE A GREAT TEAM.
LET ME MENTION ANOTHER AREA IN WHICH SAM WILL FACE
CHALLENGES -- AVIATION. THE U.S. IS THE SAFEST PLACE IN
THE WORLD TO FLY, AND IT'S GETTING SAFER. THAT SAFETY
RECORD IS YOUR RECORD. THIS DEPARTMENT CARRIES A GREAT
DEAL OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFETY OF THE SKIES --
AND CARRIES IT WITH ABILITY AND PRIDE.
6
AND I KNOW THAT YOU JOIN WITH ME IN SAYING THAT WE WON'T
REST UNTIL AIR TRAVEL IN AMERICA IS AS SAFE AS IT CAN BE.
BY THE WAY, IN ONE AREA CRITICAL TO SAFE SKIES, SAM
IS HITTING THE GROUND RUNNING -- FORGIVE THE PUN. NEXT
WEEK HE WILL HEAD A DELEGATION TO MONTREAL TO ATTEND A
SPECIAL SESSION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL
AVIATION ORGANIZATION. SAM HAS MY MANDATE TO DO ALL HE
CAN AT THAT MEETING TO HASTEN THE DAY WHEN THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY PUTS AN END TO TERRORISM IN THE
SKIES.
7
AVIATION IS NOT, OF COURSE, THE ONLY AREA IN WHICH
SAM AND YOU WILL WORK TOGETHER FOR A BETTER AMERICA. I
LOOK FORWARD TO HIS LEADERSHIP IN THE AREAS OF HIGHWAYS,
BRIDGES, URBAN MASS TRANSIT, INTERCITY RAIL, AND MARITIME
TRANSPORTATION. I THINK ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW HIM YOU'LL
SEE WHY I SAY THAT I CAN'T THINK OF ANYONE I'D RATHER HAVE
IN CHARGE THAN SAM SKINNER.
HAVING SAID so MUCH TO YOU ABOUT SAM, LET ME NOW SAY
A FEW WORDS TO SAM ABOUT YOU.
8
SAM; IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIND A MORE DEDICATED GROUP OF
PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT THAN THE MEN AND WOMEN OF
THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. THANKS IN PART TO THEIR
EFFORTS, AMERICA'S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IS THE BEST IN
THE WORLD. THEY REPRESENT A LONG AND PROUD TRADITION,
REACHING BACK TO THE VERY FOUNDING OF OUR REPUBLIC -- FOR
ROADS, SHIPPING, AND PROTECTING OUR COASTS FROM SMUGGLERS
HAVE BEEN CONCERNS OF OUR GOVERNMENT FROM THE START.
SOMEBODY SAID OF YOU, SAM, THAT YOU'RE A VISIONARY WHO
THINKS BIG.
9
I EXPECT THAT YOU'LL FIND THAT YOUR NEW COLLEAGUES ARE
ALSO VISIONARIES WHO THINK BIG. AND I KNOW YOU ARE AS
PROUD TO SERVE WITH THEM AS I AM.
So, SAM, AS THEY SAY IN THE RAILROAD BUSINESS,
WELCOME ABOARD. IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU ON THE TEAM.
[Now WE WILL WITNESS THE SWEARING-IN.]

For Immediate Release

NEWS CONFERENCE OF THE PRESIDENT
Room 450
Old Executive Office Building
4:10 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Well, for the more than half a century,
the U.S. has operated a deposit insurance program that provides
direct government protection to the savings of our citizens. This
program has enabled tens of millions of Americans to save with
confidence. In all the time since creation of the deposit insurance,
savers have not lost one dollar of insured deposits. And I am
determined that they never will.
Deposit insurance has always been intended to be
self-funded. And this means that the banks, the savings and loans
and credit unions that are insured pay a small amount of their assets
each year into a fund that's used to protect depositors. In every
case these funds are spent to protect the depositors, not the
institutions that fail.
For the last twenty years, conditions in our financial
markets have grown steadily more complex, and a portion of the
savings and loan industry has encountered steadily growing problems.
These financial difficulties have led to a continuous erosion of the
strength of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation --
FSLIC. Economic conditions have played a major role in this
situation. However, unconscionable risk-taking, fraud, and outright
criminality have also been factors.
Because of the accumulation of losses at hundreds of
these thrift institutions, additional resources must be devoted to
cleaning up this problem. We intend to restore our entire deposit
insurance system to complete health.
While the issues are complex, and the difficulties
manifold, we will make the hard choices, not run from them. We will
see that the guarantee to depositors is forever honored, and we will
see to it that the system is reformed comprehensively so that the
situation is not repeated again.
To do this, I am today announcing a comprehensive and
wide-ranging set of proposals. The Secretary of the Treasury,
Nicholas Brady, will describe these proposals to you in detail in a
few minutes. However, I think it's important to summarize some of
the major points.
The proposals include four major elements. First,
currently insolvent savings institutions will be placed under the
joint management of the FDIC and FSLIC pursuant to existing law.
This will enable us to control future risk-taking and to begin
reducing ongoing losses.
Second, the regulatory mechanism will be substantially
overhauled to enable it to more effectively limit risk-taking. The
FDIC would become the insurance agency for both banks and thrifts
under this system, although there's no commingling of funds. The
insurer will have the authority to set minimum standards for capital
and accounting. Uniform disclosure standards will also be
implemented. The chartering agency for thrifts would come under the
general oversight of the Secretary of the Treasury.
MORE
- 2 -
Third, we will create a financing corporation to issue
$50 billion in bonds to finance the cost of resolving failed
institutions, which will supplement approximately $40 billion that
has already been spent.
All of the principal of these bonds, and a portion of the
interest on them, will be paid from industry sources. However, the
balance would be paid from on-budget outlays of general revenues.
Hopefully, some of these revenues will be recovered in the future
through sale of assets and recovery of funds from the wrongdoers.
Fourth, we plan to increase the budget of the Justice
Department by approximately $50 million to enable it to create a
nationwide program to seek out and punish those that have committed
wrongdoing in the management of these failed institutions. These
funds will result in almost doubling the personnel devoted to the
apprehension and prosecution of individuals committing fraud in our
financial markets.
As you can see, these proposals are based upon several
overriding principles.
First, I will not support any new fee on depositors.
Second, we should preserve the overall federal budget
structure, and not allow the misdeeds and the wrongdoings of savings
and loan executives and the inadequacy of their regulation to
significantly alter our overall budget priorities.
And third, I have concluded that this proposal, if
promptly enacted, will enable our system to prevent any repetition of
this situation.
And fourth, I have decided to attack this problem
head-on, with every available resource of our government because it
is a national problem. I have directed that the combined resources
of our federal agencies be brought together in a team effort to
resolve the problem.
And fifth, I believe that banks and thrifts should pay
the real cost of providing the deposit insurance protection. The
price the FDIC charges banks for their insurance has not been
increased since 1935. We propose to increase the bank insurance
premium by less than seven cents per $100 of insurance protection
that they receive. Every penny collected would be used to strengthen
the FDIC so that the taxpayers will not be called on to rescue it a
few years from now.
And I make you a solemn pledge that we will make every
effort to recover assets diverted from these institutions, and to
place behind bars those who have caused losses through criminal
behavior. Let those who would take advantage of the public trust and
put at risk the savings of American families anticipate that we will
seek them out, pursue them and demand the most severe penalties.
In closing, I want to just say a word to the small savers
of America. Across this great land families and individuals work and
save, and we hope to encourage even greater rates of savings to
promote a brighter future for our children. Your government has
stood behind the safety of insured deposits before, it does today,
and it will do so at all times in the future. Every insured deposit
will be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of
America, which means that it will be absolutely protected.
For the future, we will seek to achieve a safe, sound and
profitable banking system. However, integrity and prudence must
share an equal position with competition in our financial markets.
Clean markets are an absolute prerequisite to a free economy, and to
the public confidence that is the most -- that is its most important
ingredient.
MORE
- 3 -
I've determined to face this problem squarely, and to ask
for you support in putting it behind us. I have ordered that the
resources of the Executive Branch be brought to bear on cleaning up
this problem. I have personally met with the leadership of Congress
on this issue. My administration will work cooperatively with
Congress as the legislation that we will submit in a few days' time
is considered. I call on the Congress to join me in a determined
effort to resolve this threat to the American financial system
permanently, and to do so without the delay.
I welcome the leaders that are with me here on this
platform. I think their support says a lot about the efficacy of our
proposal. And now I propose to take just a few questions. On the
technical aspects, I will defer to these people, and then I'll be
glad to turn this over to Secretary Brady. I believe we start with
Helen and then Terry and then get going --
Q
Mr. President, are you guaranteeing that the extra
costs premiums, increases and so forth -- will not be past on to
the depositors and taxpayers? And also, what is your responsibility
in this debacle -- I mean, the Reagan-Bush zeal for deregulation of
business and banking?
THE PRESIDENT: On the first place, we're not
guaranteeing that. I would hope that wouldn't happen, but there is
no guarantee what the institutions will do. Secondly, there is
enough to be said for everybody in this together trying to solve this
problem, so I can't equate any personal -- not inclined to go into
any personal blame, simply to say that we've got to solve this
problem and we're on the path to doing that.
Q Mr. President, the House votes tomorrow on that
controversial pay raise plan, and the Senate has already voted
against it. Would you sign a bill that vetoes the pay raise, not
only for the members of Congress, but also for federal judges and
other high officials in the government?
THE PRESIDENT: I've said I support it.
Q
Mr. President, there is a feeling that part of this
problem is attributable to deregulation of the financial industry.
In retrospect, do you think that deregulation might have gone too far
in the last ten years or so? And in the future, is your marching
order to your administration to be a little more careful in
regulating this particular industry?
THE PRESIDENT: Jerry, I don't know the answer. I'd be
most interested to know what our experts here feel about whether --
how much of the problem could be attributed to deregulation. I just
don't know the answer to your question, so I can't reply.
Q Mr. President, you have placed considerable stress
in these early days of your presidency on ethics and propriety, yet
in recent days there has been controversy on Capitol Hill concerning
the propriety of some of Tower's alleged behavior, questions raised
over the weekend about the financial investments on the private funds
of the man in charge of ethics, your counsel, Boyden Gray, and other
questions involving members of the administration -- or members-to-be
of the administration. And I wonder, sir, what has happened here?
Is it too harsh behavior on our part, too lax behavior on your part?
What?
THE PRESIDENT: I don't think anything has happened. I
learned long ago in public life not to make judgments based on
allegations. But having said that, I want to have my administration
aspire to the highest possible ethical standards. And we have
appointed a commission to go out there now and try to detail what
these standards should be. And we are in a new era on these matters.
Matters that might have been approved and looked at one way, may have
MORE
- 4 -
a different perception today. And so what I want to do is finalize
our standards and then urge everybody in all branches of government
to aspire to those standards. But I do think, Brit, that it's fair
that we not reach judgment on Senate hearings before the Senate
hearings are concluded because it's very hard to filter out fact from
fiction, spurious allegations from fact. And I am not about to make
a judgment based on a sensationalized newspaper story. I'm simply
not going to do that. That wouldn't be fair and I'm not sure how
ethical it would be. So let's wait and see this -- you're referring
to the Tower matter up there -- that matter has been looked at by the
FBI, the committee now has that, they have the responsibility to make
determinations, and I'll be very interested to see what they say.
But I am not going to make -- jump to conclusions based on stories
that may or may not have any validity at all.
or Mr. President, even if, as your spokesman says you
do, you continue to back Senator Tower for the position, there are
those you've heard who say that the best thing he could do for you is
to step aside because even if confirmed he then would become damaged
goods, weaker in administering a very, very tough job on your behalf.
How do you respond to that suggestion?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think people would not want a
person to step aside in a rumor, particularly if the rumor is
baseless. And the process -- what the problem is -- the process is
taking a little longer than I would like, and yet I think the Senate
has got to do what they're doing -- looking at these allegations very
carefully. But you know, as I said here at this same podium a while
back, the American people are basically fair. And if these
allegations prove to be allegations, without fact behind them, I
think the people are going to say wait a minute, what went on here,
how come it was all this we read this one day and then kind of a
puff of smoke the next. And so, I don't think in your substantive
question though, that if it proves -- if the Senate committee gives
its endorsement to the Senator, particularly after all of these
allegations, that there is any danger at all of damage to his
credibility or his ability to do the job.
Q Mr. President, there are new and substantive
allegations that Senator Tower lost control over the highly
classified security documents and computer disks that were used in
Geneva under his watch. If those allegations prove to be founded,
would you then withdraw his nomination?
THE PRESIDENT: I would not answer hypothetical questions
of that nature. You're telling me something that I haven't heard
before. And we did have access to FBI reports. So if this matter is
now before the Congress, let them investigate it. But I can't go
into a hypothesis. All I would be doing would be adding to I think
speculation that is not helpful at this juncture.
Q But, sir, will you pursue these allegations in the
Executive Branch? Are you going to track what the FBI is looking
into? Are you going to personally surveil these kinds of allegations
yourself?
THE PRESIDENT: Every rumor and every innuendo, no. But
if you're making if there's some substantive allegation of this
nature, of course it would concern me.
Q Mr. President, back to S&Ls if we might, millions of
-- (laughter) -- millions of Americans save alternatively. That is
they save in mutual funds, stocks, and that kind of thing. As I read
it, you've now outlined a plan that places a lot of the S&L bailout
on the backs of the general treasury. How fair is that?
THE PRESIDENT: We've got a major problem and something
has to be done. And this is the fairest system that the best minds
in this administration can come up with. And so I again would ask
you to ask the specifics of the treasury burden, to the Chairman of
MORE
- 5 -
the Federal Reserve, or the Secretary of the Treasury, ask how they
see that. But look, as I've said, there is no easy answer to this.
All I want to do is make a sound proposal, work to put it into
effect, and have that proposal such that the country won't have to
face this problem again.
Q
Mr. President, you said you dropped the deposit fee
idea, but this plan you've given us has an increase in premiums that
may be paid by consumers, as well as a large amount of taxpayers
funds. Isn't that the same thing consumers and taxpayers are
still going to have to pay the price for this?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, as I indicated earlier on, there is
no guarantee of passing this on to the consumer, nor is there a
guarantee it won't be passed on. But this arrangement has been there
since - for 50 years, and you might argue whether it's been passed
on or not. I just don't know, I haven't seen the flow through in the
industry. But nothing is without pain when you come to solve a
problem of this magnitude.
Q Mr. President, you've talked to several members of
Congress in various receptions and dinners and personal conversations
over the past couple of weeks, and in many of them you have discussed
this -- your plan for this problem. What is your feeling of the
reception that it's going to get on Capitol Hill and of the selling
job that awaits you now to get it passed?
THE PRESIDENT: We may have a big selling job, but I've
been encouraged so far with the spirit epitomized by the members of
Congress, particularly at the joint leadership meeting the other day.
We didn't go into every detail of this. These plans were still being
formulated and I wanted to get their views. I was encouraged by what
Bill Seidman told me earlier on about how he what he felt the
receptivity of the plan will be. But I don't think it's fair to the
Congress to say that they have signaled to me that they are going to
be enthusiastic on this plan, although I hope they are.
Q Mr. President --
THE PRESIDENT: I'm going to take about three more and
then turn this over to these gentlemen here who are prepared to go
into as much detail as you want.
Q
Mr. President, these allegations that surround Tower
now, at least variations on the theme, surfaced early in the
transition allegations of womanizing and taking money from defense
contractors that sort of thing. Have you satisfied yourself that
he is still the nominee you want? Can you give us at this time a
full-hearted endorsement of Tower?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I can and I will right now because
some of the very same allegations that were floated that long ago
apparently have been looked at and examined by the best possible
examiners - and I'm talking about the FBI and found to be
groundless. So therefore I'm not about to change my view. If
somebody comes up with facts, I hope I'm not narrow-minded enough
that I wouldn't take a look. But I am not going to deal in the kinds
of rumors that I've seen reported and then knocked down and then
reported and then knocked down.
Q Mr. President --
THE PRESIDENT: One two to go.
Q
There have been hints that Gorbachev may propose
steps to diffuse the situation in Central America. I wonder if you
see the possibility of superpower deals in Central America, and if
so, what -- if you could suggest what would be acceptable for you?
THE PRESIDENT: I don't know about a deal, but I can see
MORE
- 6 -
a possibility of cooperation in Central America because I would like
the Soviets to understand that we have very special interests in this
hemisphere, particularly in Central America, and that our commitment
to democracy and to freedom and free elections and these principles
is unshakeable, and I don't think they really have substantive
interests in this part of the world -- certainly none that rival
ours. So I would like to think they would understand that and there
are so many areas where we could demonstrate a new spirit of
cooperation, and this would clearly be one of them. So I'd like to
think that is the way that the matter would be approached by the
Soviets.
Yes, follow-up.
Q
If I could follow up and ask you whether an
understanding on Central America -- whether you'd be willing to
include abandonment of aid to the Contras as part of such an
understanding?
THE PRESIDENT: I wouldn't make a deal on that with the
Soviets, nor would that come up. I don't believe we'd ever have a --
I can't see a situation of that nature arising, knowing as I do
what will be negotiated and discussed with the -- so I think that's
so hypothetical as to not even be a possibility of any kind.
Yes, Charles. And then I do have to run.
Q Mr. President, we still don't know what the
taxpayers' burden is in here. Out of this $40 billion, it says first
from S&L funds and the shortfall from Treasury funds. How big is it,
and have you, in going through your budget had to knock out some
things to pay for this?
THE PRESIDENT: We've had to knock out a lot of things on
the overall budget for a lot of different reasons. But I'd like to
leave this for Dick, for the questioning, to give the specific
amounts. It is shared, as I've indicated, and he can give you the
amounts that are involved.
Listen, thank you all very much, and now I'm going to
turn this over to Secretary Brady. And then in order I guess they'l
refer to each of these others.
Q
Mr. President, one more word for the small --
Q
-- seats back here, Mr. President?
THE PRESIDENT: What was that substantive question?
(Laughter.)
Q
In the back -- we didn't see you get back in this
area.
THE PRESIDENT: We didn't get that far back, no, but if
there's been an egregious offense to those in the back benches, I
will take one parting question. And inasmuch as you raised it, fire
away.
Q
Thank you very much, sir. Back on the ethics issue,
a couple of --
THE PRESIDENT: Mindful that the last questions always
does get you in great trouble -- (laughter) -- go ahead.
or
Your perspective nominees -- one of your perspective
nominees and your counsel have just recently changed their minds on
matters that would have violated the ethics rules under the Reagan
administration. Did you have difficulty in getting the word out that
times would be tougher under your administration?
MORE
- 7 -
THE PRESIDENT: No, I don't think so. For example, if
you're referring to the Boyden Gray matter, which I think you are,
that matter was reviewed every single year by the Office of
Government Ethics, and he was deemed in compliance every single year.
But now we've got a new ballgame here. He's the General Counsel here
in the White House and I'm the President, and I've set out
rhetorically the highest possible standards and we're trying to back
that up by findings from this commission. And so I do think that
we've got to be very careful about perceptions of impropriety when it
comes to conflict of interest. Not rumors or innuendos of one sort
or another. I don't think you can -- I should deal in those things.
But when it comes to perceived conflicts of interest, I'd like our
people to bend over backwards.
And I think that's what has happened in both the question
of Lou Sullivan, whether he's entitled to -- all he did was ask, am I
entitled to continue these arrangements with this small university.
And all Boyden did, in my view now, is to try to go a step beyond
what the government ethics office has said to avoid the perception of
impropriety. But -- so I think it might be different now. I have to
approach it differently as President. Not that you have lower
standards, but I just think that again this whole question of
perception we've got to look at it very, very carefully. But I want
to be fair. I do not want to have the loudest charge, no matter how
irresponsible, be that that sets the standards. We've got to achieve
more objective standards. And that's why I'm putting a lot of faith
in the -- hope to put a lot of faith in the findings of Judge Wilkey
and former Attorney General Griffin Bell. And they will be looking
at all these matters in terms of reality, and then, to some degree
I'm sure, in terms of perception. So what might be legal and might
be perfectly sound ethically might have to be altered given this new
approach because of perception. It's a delicate one. I don't want
to have the standards set in such an irresponsible way that good
people just throw up their hands and say, look, who needs that kind
of grief, who needs it, why should I have to give up all my whatever
it is -- a health plan from the XYZ company. And yet, on the other
hand, we're in a different time now. We're in a time when we've got
to try to set these standards as high as possible. So I think Dr.
Sullivan did the right thing in asking what was proper. I think
Boyden Gray did the correct thing every year in asking what was
proper and reviewing his own personal holdings in a family company
with the Ethics Office, but now taking another step because of
perception in this case.
So we've got to reach -- we've got to work with these
individuals to find the proper answer and we've got to work with the
commission to try to codify these standards.
Q
Sir, by following, you said during the campaign very
clearly that your staffers would not take outside income. I wonder
why they need a legal opinion to understand that?
THE PRESIDENT: They had a legal opinion saying it was
perfectly proper from this family company, and so now we're changing
that and saying, look, there is this different perception problem
here in this new era, so let's bend over as far backwards as we
possibly can to -- you know, to recognize that.
Thank you all very much.
Q What about leveraged buy-outs, Mr. President?
THE PRESIDENT: There's your LBO man right there.
THE PRESS: Thank you.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AND UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE
CARLA HILLS AT SWEARING-IN CEREMONY
Indian Treaty Room
1:45 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Well, it is a great
pleasure for me to be here for the swearing-in of our friend, Carla
Hills, as U. S. Trade Representative. This is a position of great
importance to our country. And with the emergence of a truly global
economy, trade issues have taken on a new prominence. And I think,
as Lord Macaulay so rightly said, that "Free trade is one of the
greatest blessings which a government can confer on a people."
I have great confidence in the ability, the wisdom, and
the toughness of Carla Hills, which is why I chose her in the first
place for this critically important post. This is her second Cabinet
position, and she won universal respect for her service as Secretary
at the Department of HUD -- Housing and Urban Development. And I
know that she'll win strong support in this important current role.
She's a skilled negotiator with a strong international
background and extensive experience in government. Trade issues
involve listening to many voices within our nation, while working
with the full breadth of government and maintaining a clear sense of
mission. As I said when I nominated her, I can think of no one
better suited to be America's trade minister at home and abroad.
And Carla will have a very committed and talented group
of people at USTR who work hard and bargain hard for the people of
our country. I greatly respect, incidentally, the dedication and
expertise of those with whom Carla will be working at USTR, and I'm
glad that many of you are here with us today.
America, as the world's number one trading nation, has
the largest stake in the continued expansion of world trade, which
has been one of the key factors in our growing prosperity. In
addition, our trade relationships are a vital factor in our --
America's international alliances that help secure freedom and
stability for so much of the world. We will apply firmness to help
promote what is fair, but we will always remember that our major
trading partners are not our enemies, but, indeed, they are our
allies.
We have a leading role to play in modernizing a trading
system that has served the world well for over four decades. There's
a new and dynamic international order in the economy that offers the
chance for higher levels of prosperity for all nations which freely
participate in this international economy.
We want to do more to remove trade barriers; to address
the issue of agriculture; and to bring the benefits of free trade to
new areas, including services, investment, and the protection of
intellectual property. The current Uruguay round of the GATT talks
holds many opportunities for progress in multilateral negotiations.
There's also a new international impetus for trade
expansion created by our U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement. This
agreement can serve as a model, and it proves that freer trade
MORE

between nations is the wave of the future.
Ladies and gentlemen, the goal of this administration's
trade policy, simply put, is to open markets, not close them; to
fight protectionism, not to give in to it.
We don't want an America that is closed to the world.
What we want is a world that is open to America. We're going to work
to promote American exports and to see to it that in dealing with the
United States other nations play by the rules. As Carla said during
her own confirmation hearings, we will open foreign markets with a
crowbar where necessary, but with a handshake whenever possible.
And, Carla, it is now my pleasure to witness you take the
oath of office. And we're very fortunate that Judge Scalia, one of
our Supreme Court Justices, is here with us today. (Applause.)
(Ambassador Hills is sworn in.) (Applause.)
AMBASSADOR HILLS: Thank you. Mr. President, Justice
Scalia, members of Congress, distinguished guests and dear friends, I
thank you one and all for being here, and I especially want to thank
the members of my wonderful family for their enormous support, and I
confess that I am absolutely thrilled that they're all with me today.
I am honored and I look forward to serving as the United
States Trade Representative, and to all of you I pledge to devote all
of my energies to carrying out the trade policy goals that you, Mr.
President, have just outlined. We will seek to open markets, not
close them, and we will fight protectionism, not give in to it.
You can be certain -- absolutely certain, Mr. President
-- that those are the goals of the office of U.S. Trade
Representative. We seek free trade not just for a more prosperous
America -- we seek it as a part of our great quest for a freer,
fairer and more prosperous world. Rather we seek to have our markets
opened -- our foreign markets opened to the entire community of
nations, rich and poor, and from that unfettered commercial exchange
comes healthy world growth and increased prosperity for all people.
As a nation, we seek open trade because that goal is as morally
correct as it is economically beneficial.
During the past week, I have had the opportunity to meet
with and work with the extraordinarily talented and dedicated women
and men at the U.S. Trade Representative's office, and, Mr.
President, with this group of splendid professionals, we can meet the
challenge that you have give us. Our office will work closely with
other federal agencies and with Congress, and I know that you, Mr.
President, share my gratitude for the commitments that members of
both the House and the Senate have made to work alongside of our
trade negotiators. And we all have gained immeasurably in drawing
upon the experience and the commitment of the private sector.
Together we can build an expanding multilateral trade system based
upon equitable, clear and enforceable rules, we can strengthen our
bilateral relationships and we can uphold our trade laws. In short,
we can do great things together.
Now last month, Mr. President, you called your Cabinet
together to receive your very clear marching orders. Your first
commandment was think big. Well, the Office of the United States
Trade Representative is small, but its talent and dedication is
enormous, and your commandment is our motto. And in that spirit, Mr.
President, we offer you a token of our wholehearted commitment to
your goals and our great affection.
And so if I could just give you -- (Laughter and
applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: I have a funny feeling, having worked
with Carla and knowing her ability, that that handshake, matched up
MORE
- 3 -
by a lot of conviction, is going to get the job done for the most
part. But I was thinking the other day, when we had the Prime
Minister of Japan here, and he met Carla -- perhaps not for the first
time, but the first time officially with her new role about to unfold
as USTR -- and maybe I was dreaming something, but I thought I saw
him looking her over very carefully -- (laughter) -- and I just have
a funny feeling that that combination of the handshake and the
crowbar is going to be tremendously successful. (Laughter and
applause.)
AMBASSADOR HILLS: Thank you very much. Thank you all
for being here.

REMARKS FOR SWEARING-IN OF AMBASSADOR CARLA HILLS
INDIAN TREATY ROOM
FEBRUARY 6, 1989
1939 FEB -3 7.1 16
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT IS A GREAT PLEASURE TO BE
HERE FOR THE SWEARING-IN OF MY FRIEND CARLA HILLS AS
UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE. THIS IS A POSITION OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE TO THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY. WITH THE
EMERGENCE OF A TRULY GLOBAL ECONOMY, TRADE ISSUES HAVE
TAKEN ON A NEW PROMINENCE. AND I THINK, AS LORD MACAULAY
so RIGHTLY SAID, THAT "FREE TRADE [IS] ONE OF THE GREATEST
BLESSINGS WHICH A GOVERNMENT CAN CONFER ON A PEOPLE...."
2
I HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE IN THE ABILITY, WISDOM, AND
TOUGHNESS OF CARLA HILLS, WHICH IS WHY I CHOSE HER FOR
THIS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT POST. THIS IS HER SECOND
CABINET-LEVEL POSITION, AND SHE WON UNIVERSAL RESPECT FOR
HER SERVICE AS SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
URBAN DEVELOPMENT. AND I KNOW THAT SHE WILL WIN STRONG
SUPPORT IN HER CURRENT ROLE.
SHE IS A SKILLED NEGOTIATOR WITH A STRONG
INTERNATIONAL BACKGROUND AND EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN
GOVERNMENT.
5
WE WILL APPLY FIRMNESS TO HELP PROMOTE WHAT IS FAIR, BUT
WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT OUR MAJOR TRADING PARTNERS
ARE NOT AMERICA'S ENEMIES, THEY ARE HER ALLIES.
WE HAVE A LEADING ROLE TO PLAY IN MODERNIZING A
TRADING SYSTEM THAT HAS SERVED THE WORLD WELL FOR OVER
FOUR DECADES. THERE IS A NEW AND DYNAMIC INTERNATIONAL
ECONOMY THAT OFFERS THE CHANCE FOR HIGHER LEVELS OF
PROSPERITY FOR ALL NATIONS WHICH FREELY PARTICIPATE IN IT.
6
WE WANT TO DO MORE TO REMOVE TRADE BARRIERS, TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF AGRICULTURE, AND TO BRING THE
BENEFITS OF FREE TRADE TO NEW AREAS, INCLUDING SERVICES,
INVESTMENT, AND THE PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
THE CURRENT URUGUAY ROUND OF THE GATT TALKS HOLDS MANY
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROGRESS IN MULTILATERAL NEGOTIATIONS.
THERE IS ALSO A NEW INTERNATIONAL IMPETUS FOR TRADE
EXPANSION CREATED BY THE CANADA-U.S. FREE TRADE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT CAN SERVE AS A MODEL, AND IT PROVES THAT
FREER TRADE BETWEEN NATIONS IS THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE
3
TRADE ISSUES INVOLVE LISTENING TO MANY VOICES
WITHIN OUR NATION, WHILE WORKING WITH THE FULL BREADTH OF
GOVERNMENT AND MAINTAINING A CLEAR SENSE OF MISSION. As I
SAID WHEN I NOMINATED HER, I CAN THINK OF NO ONE BETTER
SUITED TO BE AMERICA'S "TRADE MINISTER AT HOME AND
ABROAD."
AND CARLA WILL HAVE A VERY COMMITTED AND TALENTED
GROUP OF PEOPLE AT U.S.T.R. WHO WORK HARD AND BARGAIN HARD
FOR THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY.
4
I GREATLY RESPECT THEIR DEDICATION AND EXPERTISE, AND I'M
GLAD so MANY OF YOU COULD BE HERE TODAY.
AMERICA, AS THE WORLD'S NUMBER ONE TRADING NATION,
HAS THE LARGEST STAKE IN THE CONTINUED EXPANSION OF WORLD
TRADE, WHICH HAS BEEN ONE OF THE KEY FACTORS IN OUR
GROWING PROSPERITY. IN ADDITION, OUR TRADE RELATIONSHIPS
ARE A VITAL FACTOR IN AMERICA'S INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCES
THAT HELP SECURE FREEDOM AND STABILITY FOR so MUCH OF THE
WORLD.
7
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE GOAL OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION'S TRADE POLICY, SIMPLY PUT, IS TO OPEN
MARKETS, NOT TO CLOSE THEM; TO FIGHT PROTECTIONISM, NOT TO
GIVE IN TO IT.
WE DON'T WANT AN AMERICA THAT IS CLOSED TO THE WORLD.
WHAT WE WANT IS A WORLD THAT IS OPEN TO AMERICA. WE ARE
GOING TO WORK TO PROMOTE AMERICAN EXPORTS AND TO SEE TO IT
THAT IN DEALING WITH THE UNITED STATES OTHER NATIONS PLAY
BY THE RULES.
8
As CARLA SAID DURING HER CONFIRMATION HEARINGS, WE WILL
OPEN FOREIGN MARKETS WITH A CROWBAR WHEREVER NECESSARY,
BUT WITH A HANDSHAKE WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
AND, CARLA, IT IS MY PLEASURE TO NOW WITNESS YOU TAKE
THE OATH OF OFFICE, ONCE AGAIN. [AMBASSADOR HILLS TAKES
THE OATH.]
9
CONGRATULATIONS. I HAVE A SMALL GIFT FOR YOU AS
WELL, CARLA. As I NOTED, YOU PROMISED THE SENATE THAT YOU
WILL TRY TO ENSURE FREE TRADE WITH OUR TRADING PARTNERS BY
EXTENDING A HANDSHAKE, BUT IF NECESSARY, YOU'D USE A
CROWBAR. I AM PLEASED THEREFORE TO PRESENT YOU WITH THIS
OFFICIAL PRESIDENTIAL CROWBAR, FOR USE ONLY AS NEEDED IN
THE LINE OF DUTY. I AM CONFIDENT, HOWEVER, THAT YOUR
EXPERIENCE AND SUBSTANTIAL NEGOTIATING SKILL WILL MAKE
YOUR HANDSHAKE ALONE A POWERFUL FORCE FOR FREE TRADE.
