THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
(Chicago, Illinois)
For Immediate Release
July 31, 1989
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
TO THE NATIONAL GOVERNOR'S ASSOCIATION
Hyatt Regency
Chicago, Illinois
10:08 A.M. CDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very, very much. Thank you
all. Thank you, Governor Baliles. Thank all of you -- Bill.
Before I make my remarks, I want to comment on a very
disturbing report that we've just heard. There are unconfirmed
reports that Colonel Higgins has, indeed, been executed. And I had
planned to go on out to Nevada for another appearance today and then
to go to Oklahoma tonight. But this matter is of such concern to me
and to all of you and to the American people that I think it's
appropriate that I go back to Washington.
Whether the report is true or not, I know I speak for all
here when I try to express to the American people the sense of
outrage that we all feel about this kind of brutality, this
uncalled-for terrorism. And this was a young American colonel
serving in an international force, and it is incumbent on all of us
to try to rectify this situation, if at all possible. And I have no
more to share with you on this. We have not been able to confirm
this horrible report, but I will go back to Washington and convene
our top national security people and first establish to the best of
our ability if the report is true, and then figure out what might
conceivably be done.
So I'm sorry to bring to this meeting a message of that
nature, the bad news, but I felt you would want to know about it.
Gerry, that said, thank you very much. I want to commend
you on your success as Chairman of this group. I studied Latin for
four years. Soon you will be Chairman Emeritus. "E" in Latin means
out -- "meritus" damn well deserves to be. So I will -- (laughter.)
But I want to commend you, that having been said -- commend you on
that. It's been a joy working with you.
And I want to salute our host and my friend, Jim Thompson
-- a great Governor, former NGA Chairman, who's rocked the world of
Illinois politics by announcing that he will not run for a fifth
term. They were just getting used to him out here and now he's not
going to run. But thank you for your hospitality.
I'd like to rise to John Sununu's defense -- he is not
quiet and retiring. That's all I will say about it. (Laughter.)
But I think it is good to have a Chief of Staff who knows how the
governors function and the importan- of the governors in this whole
federalist system.
I think Gerry mentioned Ed Derwinski, a member of my
Cabinet, a good friend of long-standing, and I want to salute him,
and also our Secretary of Transportation -- Illinois' own Sam
Skinner, who is with me here today. Both doing outstanding jobs --
Sam digging in now, working on a national transportation strategy.
And Terry Branstad, the incoming president -- let me say
MORE
- 2 -
I look forward to working with you and I hope we'll have an era of
real cooperation, just as we have with Governor Baliles.
Let's begin by saying what is the role of the governor in
the American political life? Well, de Toqueville, the great observer
of -- 19th century observer once asked a country politician the
same question, and the answer he got was this: "The governor counts
for absolutely nothing and is paid only twelve hundred dollars.'
Well, you still can't get rich off a public salary. But
today, I don't think there's any question in the minds of the
American people that the office of governor counts for an awful lot,
counts for a great deal. In fact, leadership in America is
increasingly the sum of your efforts and of your vision. And that's
why I consider myself a federalist. I was there when President
know that I stand by it.
Reagan issued the executive order on federalism, and I want you to
nation, indivisible. And just as we share our cherished
We believe in federalism and, yet, we are a people, one
Constitution, so we also share common challenges and
responsibilities. To cure our nation of illiteracy and drug abuse
and crime, we must act in tandem, president with governor, governor
with mayor, up and down the line. And in short, we've got to find
our collective will as a nation.
And that's why I've come to Chicago to meet with all of
you, fellow chief executives. We share as executives a special
responsibility and some describe it as a great burden. But for
us, if it is a burden, it is one that is cheerfully accepted. And to
sit where the buck stops, to resolve disputes, to help those in need
satisfaction. and to set a course for the future is to know a special kind of
In fact, our missions as executives are so similar that
many presidents have called on you for guidance. Teddy Roosevelt,
who called the nation's first conference of governors -- the
forerunner of this association -- convened the governors at the White
House. And he brought the nation's governors together to call for
conservation, for an end to the reckless denuding of our forests.
And they started a tradition that we are carrying on today, working
together as president and governors for a cleaner environment.
I thought you might be interested in a peripheral note
here I'm just back from the economic summit in Europe, and the
whole question of environment is on the minds of these Western
European leaders, unlike any time that I've ever seen. And I think
that's a good thing. And I think it is going to cause all of us to
work together internationally, just as my plea is here that we work
together inside our great country.
We have proposed, as you know, the first major revision
of the Clean Air Act in more than a decade. And I read a headline in
one of the great newspapers of this country where some say it didn't
go far enough and others said it went too far. I figured, well,
maybe we're not doing too bad on it. But it sets tough standards; it
gives states and industry the flexibility needed to reduce costs and
break the long-standing legislative logjam. The potential for
consensus is there. The American people want clean air. And we can
work together to see that they get clear air.
Then it was another Roosevelt, great President, Franklin
D. Roosevelt, who called on the governors to help him stem the
financial crisis of the Great Depression.
And today, we don't meet in a spirit of immediate crisis.
Plenty of problems out there, but the nation is fundamentally sound.
But the decline of our educational system and the threat of crime and
drugs, the economic dependency of so many, and yes, that ever-present
federal deficit and the problems that come with it -- these problems
MORE
- 3 -
threaten to endanger the very leadership position of America in the
next century.
And for America to remain competitive will require your
best efforts and your executive know-how. The ultimate challenge, as
Governor Baliles put it, is "to become again the Yankee traders that
we once were." And he's not talking about George Steinbrenner. He
is referring to the clipper ships. Your creative response to our
nation's competitive position is more than perceptive; it's
forward-looking, an attribute to the best kind of leadership.
At this economic summit that I mentioned the competitive
position of our nation was an underlying theme in the discussions of
the great economic issues of trade and monetary policy and
international debt. But no less important to America was the start
of my journey that part that took us to Eastern Europe and Central
Europe. Poland and Hungary today are not the economic magnets that
we find in Western Europe or the Pacific Rim. But I saw a tremendous
potential in the awakening spirit of those lands. It is absolutely
amazing -- the changes that are taking place on the economic front
there and on the political front as well.
And the beauty of it is that we can boost reform without
massive government-to-government programs. We can do the most good
as American leaders by simply facilitating trade and investment, by
simply opening doors for opportunity and encouraging those
governments to move as fast as they can towards privatization.
But to open these doors will require leadership at every
level of government. You've already established a great tradition of
searching for those opportunities abroad. And now I ask you to
include Poland and Hungary on your list. While governors have no
formal role in foreign policy, you are becoming our economic envoys
and ambassadors of democracy. You're a new force in restoring
American international competitiveness and expanding world markets
for American goods and services.
And, of course, your focus is and, I think, must be on
the critical domestic issues. As chief executives, we know firsthand
how crucial our social health is to the future position of America.
A nation in which half of our youth is ignorant of
geography, in which drugs are rampant, in which a substantial
proportion of the population knows little hope -- such a nation will
not long remain competitive. And in the final analysis, improving
our schools, driving out drugs and bringing hope and opportunity to
those who need it most these are issues of our national
well-being, even our national security.
First and foremost are our children and their education.
Working together, we can raise the level of learning in the
classrooms of America.
On April 5, I sent a package to the Congress -- an
educational reform package based on four principles rooted in the
practical experience of the states. To have reform, excellence and
achievement must be recognized and rewarded. To have reform, federal
dollars should be targeted to those most in need. To have reform, we
need flexibility and choice -- choice for parents, choice for schools
in their selection of teachers and principals. And finally, the
essence of reform is accountability in education and reward for those
schools that show progress. If implemented, I believe that these
measures will restore the quality of American education and redeem
the future of millions of children.
But there is more to be done. On June 5th, I asked the
business community to study what the private sector can do to
energize and support educational reform. And there are wonderful
programs in effect now where business leaders assign people from
their companies to help in the local school districts. These have

been pushed and fostered by many of you around this table. I want to
renew my pledge to assemble the governors in a summit to share ideas
and to explore options for educational progress.
Only twice before have the governors met with the
President on an issue of vital national importance. And now there
will be a third such conference, an historic meeting on education.
And so I invite you to work with me at a governors summit on
education, to be held on September 27th and September 28th. We have
not yet selected a place, but we want to go forward and do that.
(Applause.) And together, we can find ways to strengthen our
schools, to enlarge opportunities and to improve our nation's
educational performance.
As chief executives, we also see drugs and crime as the
most harrowing domestic threat to the future of America. And I
proposed on May 15th a common-sense approach to deter the criminals'
use of weapons, to reform the criminal justice system, to enhance
enforcement and prosecution, and to expand prison capacity to ensure
both the certainty and the severity of punishment. I proposed the
hiring of 825 new federal agents and staff; 1,600 new prosecutors and
staff; and an additional $1 billion for federal prison construction.
And I've proposed tough new laws, including mandatory
prison terms, no deals without cooperation, and the death penalty for
those who murder our police officers. But I need your leadership to
see results. Work with me. Toughen your laws and put the worst
offenders behind bars. And if you do, we will take back the streets.
And finally, America cannot continue to lead the world if
we lag in providing opportunity at home. And last year, as you know,
Congress and the administration enacted major welfare reform
legislation, the Family Support Act of 1988. And this act grew out
of a consensus that the well-being of children depends on more than
self-sufficiency. In a word -- character.
material needs. Children need a family environment that encourages
With this in mind, I reestablished the Low Income
Opportunity Board within the White House. And I've asked that board
these federal approvals for experiments in state welfare reform. So
to assist you in the complex and time-consuming process of obtaining
many innovative policies have come from the states. So we want to
work together to keep your administrations free to experiment, free
to be creative.
In fact, I have asked our Domestic Policy Council and the
Low Income Opportunity Board to make flexibility the guiding

And I am pleased to announce that this week the DPC --
Domestic Policy Council -- has committed itself to give you greater

Many of our responsibilities overlap in education, law
enforcement and welfare. At times, there's been friction -- a lot of
friction between the states and the "feds." And perhaps what we need
between the federal government and the states is a friendly
competition well-known to Chicagoans. Here, along the majestic
lakefront skyline, there's been an ongoing competition among
developers to retain the title of the world's tallest building. You
talk about one-upsmanship, this is it -- a whole new meaning.
Yet, this is the kind of one-upsmanship that builds, not
destroys, that lifts, not lowers, that takes us all a little closer,
a little closer to the stars.
I have committed the powers of my office to lift America
-- starting in the classrooms and the streets. Working together, I

am absolutely convinced that we can achieve a national consensus in
spite of the overriding budgetary problems that the federal
government faces. Working together, we can make the next century an
American century.
Thank you. Thank you all for what you do for this
country and I'm just delighted to have been with you. Thank you very
much. (Applause.)
Q Thank you, Mr. President. The President has agreed
to take a couple of question. I'll call on our Vice Chairman
Governor Branstad of Iowa for the first question.
Q
Mr. President, we're very honored that you've
invited us in the third only presidential summit with the governors
on the topic. And I'm delighted that you've chosen education because
that's going to be an area of focus of the governors for this coming
year. And I just want to add my appreciation and say that we look
forward to working with you and developing consensus goals to improve
the quality of education and we want to involve all the people in
this nation that are concerned about rebuilding and strengthening the
quality of education. Thank you for that commitment.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you for your question. (Laughter.)
No, but thank you, Terry, and we look forward to working with you.
Q
Mr. President, first of all, we appreciate your
education. speech and your commitment both to fighting drugs and to improving
I wonder -- I support, as I think you know, your
education position. I'm for accountability, choice, alternative
certification. One thing that concerns me in our state and I think
is a concern around the table here that I'd like to hear you comment
on is the relative lack of competitiveness of our high school seniors
with many of the other countries with which you've been negotiating
new economic, environmental and defense arrangements. What do you
think the federal role ought to be in trying to increase the number
of people who can afford to go on to college -- or who can't afford
to go on to college but need to so that they can be internationally
competitive? And do you believe that that ought to be a part of our
education summit in September?
I'm very concerned about that and that's something that
neither the states nor the federal government has adequately
addressed, in my judgement, in the has three or four years.
THE PRESIDENT: I think, clearly, the federal government
has a role. We have some programs. I know everybody would like to
see them financed more fully, thinking of Pell grants and things of
this nature. And I've been intrigued with some of the private sector
approaches. A fellow named Pat Taylor in New Orleans has a program
that I believe -- I don't know whether Governor Roemer -- I didn't --
where is he -- can comment on. I don't know whether he likes it or
not. But nevertheless, it's a program that has some applicability to
what we're talking about here. It's happened in other states. But,
yes, I think it should be a key agenda item for the summit that we're
talking about.
Again, every time we get to worthy goals, I have to say,
wait, how do we meet Gramm-Rudman's targets and all of that. But
clearly, in terms of objective, it must be that.
But, Bill, I'd also say that what we've -- you've talked
about and you've pioneered, along with others around this table -- I
can single out Governors Baliles and Kean because they'll both be
unemployed here in a few weeks. But this concept of encouraging
excellence the way your states have done it I think has great
applicability for how a high school senior goes forward and gets into
college. So anyway -- but it should be an agenda item.

Q
Governor Celeste of Ohio.
THE PRESIDENT: Where's Dick? I didn't recognize you,
yes. (Laughter.)
Q
Mr. President, you just alluded to the notion of
worthy goals and budget realities, and this morning the governors
around the breakfast table talked at length about the problems we're
facing now with Medicaid and the mandated costs that are built in as
a consequence of decisions that have been made in the Congress. And
I think it's our feeling that we would like to, number one, share
with our congressional delegations the realities we're now contending
with as governors, but to call on them and perhaps to seek the
assistance of the administration, as well, to have a two-year
moratorium on any additional mandates in terms of Medicaid with a
commitment that all of us sit down together on a bipartisan basis --
governors, the Congress, the administration -- to look at this whole
issue of health care, how we assure coverage to those who need it,
how we deal with this problem of sort of backing into a system which
is virtually universal now for various pregnant women and small
children, and to do it in a cost efficient way. And I'm wondering
whether you would be comfortable with a notion, for example, of a
moratorium on additional mandates at this point, and whether there's
a way in which we could work together on this important issue.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I'd like to consider it. And
certainly, you're trying to hold the line on the spiraling costs --
we're in a battle now, and I think we can resolve it properly, with
some of our doctors in terms of the increased costs of physicians
fees. But, yes, I'd -- without getting into the specifics, I'd
certainly think we could cooperate fully. (Applause.)
Q
Mr. President, under our Chairman's direction this
spring and summer, I conducted a series of hearings around the nation
on our nation's transportation infrastructure. Two key facts came
out of those hearings. One, those nations which make an increased
investment in their highways, their bridges, their harbors, their air
and rail systems, their water systems, are more competitive in the
world economy than those nations who do less. And secondly, those
nations who make such investments stimulate more private investment
than those nations who do less.
I don't have a question; I have a suggestion, if I might
be so bold. Could you ask Director Darman, Secretary Brady,
Secretary Skinner and Secretary Mosbacher to form kind of a working
group to make sure that our tax laws and our transportation policies
are doing everything we can to encourage a renewal of America's
transportation infrastructure? I know it will be part of Secretary
Skinner's national strategies plan, but I think there needs to be
more focus in Washington on the benefits of infrastructure investment
and a return to our economy, especially our competitive world
effort. economy, and I think those four good men could really help in that
THE PRESIDENT: Well, let us try, and I appreciate the
suggestion. And for those out around here from Illinois, I must say
I am very pleased to be working with Sam Skinner in this field. I
know the frustrations around this table when you see this tremendous
highway trust fund and wonder why those funds aren't available --
immediately available for the purposes for which they were earmarked.
And the answer, obviously, is budgetary. But, yes, I'd be very happy
to ask the four of them to get together.
Q
Nice to see you again, Mr. President. I just wanted
to follow up on the point that you had made and offer, for whatever
it's worth, my congratulations on the September 27th summit,
vis-a-vis education.
I would like to say that the Southern Growth Policies

Board, which Carroll Campbell has headed for this past year and which
I will head for this next year, is concerned as the world grows
smaller, cheap is not enough, we must be flexible and smarter. And
we've undertaken, Mr. President, the goal to address adult illiteracy
in our part of America. And I would encourage your team at the
educational summit to address that question in context of the whole
nation.
It seems to me that we're going to be making more
products -- one product, one person, one sale, rather than mass
production, and it seems that the quality of our work force will be
the key to us being competitive. Not just the price of the work
force, but the quality of the work force. That's one of our
nationwide. assignments in the south, and we're hoping you can help us
What I'm trying to say, Mr. President, is send money.
Thank you. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: I thought I heard that.
Q
I said it poorly, as usual, but -- (laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: Let me say that, on this educational
summit, I don't view this is as something where -- like today where I
come here for two minutes and then take off. I mean, this is going
to be a session where we will have an opportunity together -- you and
me issues. -- to take a considerable amount of time to discuss these kinds of
I think it is important -- and maybe Governor Branstad
would be the one to turn to to have a little group for the agenda on
this, and our Education Secretary will be involved -- but, sure, we
should take that up. And I want you to know I will be personally
involved in learning from this kind of involvement.
But thank you all very, very much. With permission,
could I just say hello to everybody here. (Applause.)

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
IN "E" AWARD PRESENTATION
Hyatt Regency Hotel
Chicago, Illinois
10:48 A.M. CDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Governor. I know that some of
you all here have been actively involved in this whole field of
exports, and this "E" award for excellence in export service is being
given to your Export Council, the state's promotion agency.
We are committed in the administration to strengthening
our trade, eliminating that imbalance, and that means, of course,
strengthening our own competitiveness. The national economic power
depends on our ability to compete effectively in world markets.
And you are a leader -- this state, under Governor
Thompson -- a leader in developing an export-based economic strategy.
And this Illinois Export Council really has been in the forefront of
developing the state's entire effort.
Your council established the World Trade Center in
Chicago, conducted trade missions and trade seminars, export
counseling, overseas visitors program and export internship program.
And to recognize these achievements, I am honored to present the "E"
award for excellence in export service.
I'm sorry that the Lieutenant Governor's not here because
he's had a keen interest in all of this. And I think the answer is
he got fogged in. But he's chairman of the council and I want to pay
my respects to George Ryan, as well as, of course, to Governor
Thompson and all of those of you here who've done the work.
With this award comes the "E" pennant that is quite well-
known around the country. I hope that you'll display it with pride.
And your contribution has been recognized and appreciated. Thank you
all very much for taking the time for this symbolic ceremony, and I
hope other states do as well as you have in the future. It would be
a great thing for our international competitiveness.
Congratulations, Jim. (Applause.)

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
UPON RETURN FROM CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
The South Lawn
2:18 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Let me just say a word here and then go
on. Let me just, on behalf of the American people, express the
outrage that we feel at the brutal murder of Colonel Higgins.
At this juncture, I don't have what I would call a final
confirmation. On the way home from Chicago, I was on the phone to
the Secretary General and he, at that moment, which was about an hour
ago, was still hoping that Higgins had not been murdered. I called
Colonel Higgins' wife and talked to her -- wonderfully stoic
individual who is going through sheer hell. And I will convene a
meeting here in the White House about 5:30 p.m. to get an update on
the intelligence and to meet with my top advisors on this whole
matter.
And there is no way that I can properly express the
outrage that I feel. And somehow there has got to be a return to
decency and honor, even in matters of this nature.
And I will have nothing more to say about this until I
have had this meeting and been with some -- I may say something more
today, but probably not. And at this juncture, we want to get all
the information and be sure we're dealing from the facts, not from,
regrettably, from hearsay. But it is a most troubling and disturbing
matter that has shocked the American people right to the core.
Q
Have you talked to the Israelis, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: That's all I have to say about it. Thank
you.
