We have had some tough battles and there are many more ahead. But when we have stuck together we have won. And we are going to win this year too. Let me say a few words about the events of the past week in Los Angeles. As you know, since I first learned of the riots in Los Angeles I've been meeting with people both inside and outside the Administration on how we can help the citizens of L.A. Card 2 On Monday morning and then again today, I met with members of my Cabinet with key responsibilities for domestic programs that affect the lives of urban residents. I've asked them to work with me to develop both short-term and long-term responses to help restore the damage done by the riots. I've also asked two of my Deputy Cabinet Secretaries -- David Kearns at Education and Al Dellibovi at HUD -- to lead a small team of Executive Branch officials to Los Angeles. Their mission is to ensure that federal programs that can bring relief of any sort to Los Angeles residents are put into action as quickly as possible. Card 3 - This group will be working closely with people from the Mayor's office and the Governor's staff to make sure that we are providing the type of assistance they need. I know you are beginning work on my rescission package this week. When we sent the package to the Hill, we selected items that were neither needed nor budgeted for national defense. Unfortunately, the Democrats on the Appropriations Committee have decided to turn this into a political ploy by cutting our strategic defense initiative and procurement funds for the B-2 bomber. - The B-2 and SDI are both important to our security needs. I don't want to have to veto a rescission bill. I hope you will rally behind Ted Stevens and give us a solid vote of support. Card 4 -- I also wanted to mention our Soviet Aid Package which the Foreign Relations Committee will be marking up soon. Bob Dole, Dick Lugar, Pete Domenici and all of the members of Bob's task force have supported our efforts here. I think we can achieve a bipartisan consensus on this bill and I'd like to get it through the Senate prior to Boris Yeltsin's visit in mid-June. Getting our aid package through the Senate will help with the even more difficult hurdles we face in the House. Card 5 One more item I'll mention before taking your questions and comments the issue of the balanced budget amendment. Dick Darman will be testifying in the House on Wednesday outlining our support. Bob Kasten, Strom Thurmond, Orrin Hatch and others have been out front on this one. I want to reaffirm my support for a balanced budget amendment as well as my strong support for a 3/5 vote on any tax-raising measures. -- Now, I better stop and hear from you.

Calio NEC I. PURPOSE To organize a bi-partisan core group in the House for passage of the aid package to the former Soviet Republics. II. BACKGROUND On April 3, 1992, you transmitted a legislative proposal entitled the "Freedom for Russia and Emerging Eurasian Democracies and Open Markets Support Act of 1992." Secretary Baker testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee last Thursday, where the initiative was well received. Later that day, the Secretary met with a bi- partisan leadership group, where some Democrats stated that while they agreed the initiative was important, it would be difficult to pass in the current atmosphere. Congressman David Bonior (D-MI) is leading the charge against any Soviet aid until there is action on the domestic front in the form of an accelerated public works program and an unemployment benefits extension. The House Foreign Affairs Committee mark up has not been scheduled to date. III. PARTICIPANTS See Attachment A. IV. PRESS PLAN White House photographer only. -2- V.

I wanted to compare notes on where we are with the Soviet Aid package. For this group, I don't need to dwell on the importance of this initiative. -- The transformation of the former Soviet Union from a totalitarian enemy to fifteen free, democratic partners is one of the great challenges of this century. Card 2 -- As I said when the package was introduced, I hope we can get it approved quickly. Timing is critical, the sooner the better. Yeltsin will be here in mid-June. It would be an enormous positive statement for the Administration and Congress, jointly, to present him with some tangible support for the courageous reforms he and his people are undertaking. -- I am personally committed to making that happen - - including rounding up the votes. I I know it will not be easy so I appreciate your willingness to be part of this core group and to work with us. I hope we can make sure we get all the basic authority and flexibility in the bill I sent up last month.

Page Four THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON May 4, 1992 CINCO DE MAYO COMMEMORATION DATE: MAY 5, 1992 TIME: 2:00 p.m. LOCATION: THE MEXICAN CULTURAL INSTITUTE WASHINGTON, D.C. THROUGH: SHERRIE ROLLINS and FROM: CECE KREMER CLAYTON FONG SHIREE SANCHEZ I. PURPOSE: To commemorate May 5th (Cinco de Mayo) a traditional celebration in Mexico and the U.S., and to recognize the heritage of millions of Americans of Mexican ancestry. This is a forum to reinforce your commitment to the North American Free Trade Agreement. Your remarks of family and faith will also be very symbolic to the Hispanic community in Los Angeles and across the country. II. BACKGROUND: Cinco de Mayo commemorates the day in 1862 when a small Mexican army defeated an invading French force at Puebla, Mexico. That victory is still celebrated by Mexicans and Mexican Americans. The Mexican Cultural Institute is housed in the building which previously had been the Mexican Embassy for 68 years. The purpose of the Institute is to enhance the understanding and knowledge of Mexican art and culture to those in this country. Ambassador Petricioli will invite you to see a mural painted along the wall of the staircase. The mural painted in 1933, depicts one scene which is referenced in your remarks. Titled "Liberators of the Americas," this scene features the great leaders in the history of the Americas. III. PARTICIPANTS: The President Gustavo Petricioli, Ambassador of Mexico to the U.S. 150 invited guests * IV. PRESS PLAN: Open press. V. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS: See advance scenario. Remarks provided by speech writing. * Guests include Hispanic business and community leaders, Hispanic appointees, NAFTA supporters from the Business Roundtable, and several business leaders from Mexico. THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release May 5, 1992 REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT AT CINCO DE MAYO CEREMONIES Mexican Cultural Institute Washington, D.C. 2:17 P.M. EDT THE PRESIDENT: If I might be informal, Gus, thank you very much for the warm introduction and the warm welcome. And I just can't tell you how pleased I am to be in this beautiful place. There are many familiar faces out there -- so many members of both chambers from Mexico -- we salute you and we welcome you all. I had a chance to greet the members a second ago. Members of the Hispanic America -- Mexican American business community, we're very pleased to have you all here. I see Senator Gramm and Representative Colby and Gilman and Talon, all here to salute this show of force and show of friendship for the delegates from south of the Rio Grande. The interparliamentary union, the Mexican-American interparliamentary relationship is a good one, and I can tell some of you older member of this delegation that I was a member of that interparliamentary action back in 1968 and 1969 and 1970. So I welcome you all once again. I was pleased earlier to see Jose Nino and Raul Yzaguirre, two American leaders who do so much for strong relations between Mexico and the United States. And, of course, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate President Carlos Salinas for preserving this remarkable historical landmark and for creating the institute to strengthen the ties of friendship between our two nations. Relations between the United States and Mexico are tremendously important to both our countries -- and it's exciting to note -- and I would note, and I'd say with some pride, that relations between Mexico and the United States have never been better than they are now. And I take great pride in that, as I say, but I commend especially Carlos Salinas for the role that he's played in strengthening the special friendship that benefits both our peoples. The Mexican President has done an awful lot to hold out his hand to us, to emphasize the importance to Mexico of the U.S.-Mexican relationship. And he's done a wonderful job. I want to thank all of you for letting me share this special day -- a day made even more meaningful because 1992 marks 500 years of Hispanic heritage in this hemisphere. And this heritage is a wonderful, rich tapestry that Barbara and I -- that our kids, Barbara and I, were lucky enough to first experience during our West Texas years. I remember our Cinco de Mayo festivities out there, exploring the ties between our countries, ties of family, friendship and faith. So my exposure to Cinco de Mayo started in the year 1949 out in West Texas and it's been a part of us ever since. The Bushes are very lucky to be able to keep that celebration alive. Our daughter-in-law, as some of you know, was MORE - 2 - from Mexico, now an American citizen, and we take great pride in that. Three of our grandchildren are Hispanic American, and they bring the wonder of this dual heritage into our family. I have only one complaint with them -- all four of them; my daughter-in-law and the three grandchildren none of them has been able to teach their grandfather to speak Spanish. (Laughter.) When things calm down a little, maybe I can make a little more headway. I remember being so proud when Noelle, our granddaughter and her mariachi group sang at Barbara's First Ladies luncheon during our inauguration. I heard the mariachi group upstairs, and I'm kind of glad there wasn't a comparison between Noelle's mariachi group and this group of wonderful musicians that enlivened the festivities here. (Laughter.) But I was delighted to hear the music today. We all know the facts of Cinco de Mayo; that long-ago May 5th when General Zaragoza and his outnumbered troops stood up to the empire of Napoleon III. Stirring facts. But what's most important is the spirit of that day, the spirit of those few poorly- armed men who turned the battle into a glorious symbol. Cinco de Mayo is a symbol of the struggle for self-determination against astounding odds. And it's the symbol of a brave people's unbeatable determination to fight for their own destiny. It's a day like the downing of the Berlin Wall, the vote against apartheid, the defeat of Iraq's aggression events that transform our world and the way we see each other. It's also, of course, a national holiday, a day of pride in Mexican culture, a day of pride in Mexican heritage. And the Los Angeles Unified School District sponsors an annual Cinco de Mayo essay contest, and I just want to share with you a couple of the quotes. A senior high school student wrote that this day -- and here's the quote "instilled within me pride and appreciation for the beauty of my people and the richness of my roots." And a middle school student wrote, "The real significance of Cinco de Mayo is the pride Mexicans everywhere have in their heritage." And that's a glorious thing to celebrate. And when I think of the Hispanic community in our country, the first words to come to mind are faith, family and freedom. These values have been interwoven into the strong, bright fabric of the Hispanic tradition for generations and they're also the very values that this nation was founded on. Cinco de Mayo shows that we all have debts to our ancestors who took risks and made sacrifices for us, whether on the battlefield or out in the farm field. And we must honor these men and women who ached to pass on a richer life, a freer life, a better life; who sacrificed all they had in order to guarantee opportunity, freedom and hope for their children and their children's children. One essay winner in this Los Angeles contest wrote, "Celebrating the deeds of our ancestors helps us keep in touch with our history and reminds us of past suffering and hardship that brought about the comfort we have today." " Cinco de Mayo - it does not belong solely to another land; it's a celebration of ideals that know no border. And today we rejoice at the men and women who came to this country from across the world, brought their finest strengths, their rich culture, their proudest tradition and sift them into the vibrant mosaic that is America. We must also look toward the future to prepare the legacy we will leave our children. I believe of all the gifts that we could give them, the three most important are jobs, family, and MORE - 3 - peace. And the America we will leave to our country will be a better land and more just land if we make progress here on five key areas. I'm thinking of our health care system, our legal system, our education system, our system of government and, of course, we must expand world trade. And these are the keys to thriving in the future. And so much depends upon trade. Mexico and the United States share a great deal. President Salinas, as I say, is a dear friend. He also is a bold and imaginative leader, and the deep and enduring relationship we're forging between our countries is based on cooperation, mutual respect, and open trade. And I will fight to tear down economic barriers with Mexico. I notice the portrait of Juarez watching us. And seeing him reminds me of that great fresco I saw upstairs, "The Liberators of the American Continent." For those who haven't seen it, it's a symbol of the friendship and union that we share. It shows the great leaders of our lands and a picture of North America and Latin America shaking hands. This idealized portrait shows what we're going to achieve in trade, because I am absolutely committed -- put the politics aside -- I am absolutely committed to signing a sound North American Free Trade Agreement just as soon as possible. (Applause.) The time of opportunity is now. I've told our negotiators to accelerate their work. I believe we can conclude a sound and sensible deal before this United States election, and I will sign it just as soon as it's ready. A great lesson of our age is that trade and enterprise can build jobs and certainly can preserve freedom. NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, will be the key to higher standards of living for the peoples of our continent. I hope it helps, and I'm sure it will, the standard of living in Mexico. I know it will do the same for the United States. And then I believe the benefits will flow south where it will open the door for other such free trade agreements. It will liberate our markets and it will increase trade, investment and jobs -- yes, jobs. In Mexico, in Canada, and right here in the United States of America. I must say, as I look over here I have a little guilt complex because I see Bernie Aronson who is working so very hard and in such effectiveness to bring forth a trade agreement, and he's done a wonderful job in our relationship. Bernie, I should have mentioned you earlier, but I'm just delighted you're here. (Applause.) But as he knows and all of us, I think, know, a free trade market made up of these three nations -- Mexico, Canada, and the United States -- would be the stuff of dreams -- one of the largest markets in the world; 360 million consumers in a $6 trillion economy. Now, Mexico is among the fastest-growing national markets for U.S. exports, and they've increased by two-thirds just over the past three years. And our exports of auto parts and telecommunications equipment have doubled. Imagine what will happen under a free trade agreement. And it will create thousands more jobs on both sides of the border. And all of us will be winners. And in that spirit of vital cooperation, I know that we will grow together. But all communities within the United States MORE - 4 - need to pause right now in the wake of tragic events in Los Angeles. We must rethink and reaffirm the bonds that knit all nationalities together. The violence brought much suffering to the Los Angeles Hispanic community. And I am certain that many of you, as did I, shared in their pain. And even as my heart, too, goes out to them, I found in the midst of the devastation, there were signs of promise -- neighbor helping neighbor, regardless of race or cultural background. Converging in Los Angeles were three fundamental issues of a civilized society -- justice, order and tolerance. And these must remain our goals as we mend the wounds of Los Angeles. From New York to San Antonio to as we mend the wounds of Los Angeles. From New York to San Antonio to San Jose, we must redouble our efforts to build on our strengths -- the same strengths of character that are at the heart of the Hispanic community here in the United States and in Mexico as well. My friends, I look forward to spending future Cinco de Mayo days with you. I loved the music, as I said. I can't wait to hear it again. And thank you very much, Gus, for including me in this wonderful day. And here's something my eight-year-old grandson, Jebby, did teach me -- "Vayan con Dios." Thank you very, very much. (Applause.)
