REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT NEW GOP LEADERSHIP DINNER
East Hall
Union Station
Washington, DC
7:46 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you. I kind of had mixed
emotions about this night -- whether to -- coming to something that
would be a wake and something sorrowful and sad; or something like
it's turned out to be, at least in my view, something upbeat and very
positive. So I'm glad to be here, and Barbara's glad to be here.
I'd like to pick a little fight with the members of the
Senate wives, because Barbara has been so -- enjoyed that work and
being with them so much, you've created a bit of a monster. You've
given her a whole new self-confidence, which is -- (laughter) -- some
of you thought she was never lacking in self-confidence, but
nevertheless. Now she's getting ready to shift gears. And my advice
to those of you who are her friends -- and I think you all are --
give her a wide berth, which is what I'm trying to do around the
White House there -- (applause) -- because she's a bundle of energy,
shifting gears from the present into the future. And that's the way
it ought to be. But tomorrow we head off for a little vacation, get
a little rest, and think about what has been and then what's about to
be.
But first I want to thank Bob Michel and the House
leadership -- Newt's here and others, I'm sure, we can't see. But I
think the Senate was very broadminded in inviting you all over here
tonight. (Laughter.) But it has been a joy to work with the House
leadership. Sometimes you have to do stuff by being negative. And
when I was -- during this time of being President, why, we've had to
accomplish some things by keeping bad things from happening. And
both in the House and the Senate there has been a remarkable show of
unity. It put individual senators and individual congressmen in a
difficult position, because sometimes they had to sublimate their
passions a little bit in order to stay with the overall good or stay
with the party. And it has not been easy.
And that is something, though, that I want to just thank
everybody for, because the record was superb. And I think by beating
back against tremendous odds, some lousy legislation, we ended up
with getting good legislation.
I'm afraid in the campaign, in the process, we were
accused of being against people because of having to take a stand for
fiscal responsibility. But nevertheless, I think on the bottom line
we came out and did the right thing. And I am very grateful to the
leadership on both sides -- the House and the Senate -- for all of
that.
A word about the Vice President -- nobody could have
asked to have a better Vice President at his side than I had with Dan
Quayle. He has been absolutely superb. He's worked hard. He's
worked the Senate particularly, but also the House. And then in the
campaign he was tireless. Marilyn sometimes at his side, sometimes
MORE
- 2 -
on her own doing a superb job not just for ourselves, for this
ticket, but for so many some in this room and so many that aren't
here that the Quayles worked for and helped. so, Dan, I will be
eternally grateful to you. And I just wish you all the best in the
future. (Applause.)
In terms of the Cabinet, I don't think anybody could
have been blessed with a better Cabinet. And the problem I've got is
that I wasn't able in the campaign to get into focus the enormous
accomplishments of the men and women that are here tonight in our
Cabinet. They have done a superb job. I don't want to start
clicking it off, but I know Lou Sullivan is here -- and what we've
done in leadership in preventive medicine, for example, and doing
things that really are making a wonderful contribution to mankind are
going to be recorded, I believe, in a favorable way. And Lou has
been magnificent.
I see Carla here -- heaven's sakes, what we've been able
to do in the free trade area. Standing up for free and fair trade is
a remarkable contribution. And I just hope that it comes to fruition
-- certainly on the NAFTA in the next term. And I know we're going
to keep working right down to January 20th on the Uruguay Round. And
you want to help third world countries -- well, the way to help them
is through trade, not the aid programs that have failed. And that's
exactly what she and Nick Brady, who's with us tonight, and Barbara
Franklin, who's with us tonight, and a lot of others have been
working on in terms of free and fair trade. So we've got an awful
lot to be grateful for.
I think we've had a good record of stewardship. Manuel
Lujan is here. And I think when history is written, why, we're going
to have a very proud record in terms of stewardship of the national
parks and the national -- the great heritage that we want to leave to
our kids.
And Ed Madigan's here. My heavens, you look at
agricultural America -- it's done pretty darned well in a very, very
difficult time. And yet, for some reason, I wasn't able to get that
in the proper focus.
But, anyway, I'm omitting many friends that are here in
the Cabinet, but I am very grateful to this outstanding group of
leaders. I was telling Lamar Alexander, who's with us tonight, one
of my real regrets is that somehow, given the hue and cry for change
and change and the hue and cry about how everything is wrong with the
country, we never got in focus the fact that we have literally made
suggestions as to how to revolutionize the education in this country,
to elevate it to have the same quality for K-12 that we have for
college. And it just didn't connect. But that program and that zeal
that Lamar brought to the program certainly will be recognized.
So, again, with the fear of omission, I will stop, but
just simply say thank you for a fantastic Cabinet and a very sound
record and all of that.
I want to tell Bob Kasten and Senator Seymour, both
Senators Kasten and Seymour, the regret I feel about their demise.
They worked awful hard. They've been great senators. And they were
caught up in a whirlwind. They were caught up in both states in
something that was beyond their own control. And they worked hard.
And many senators here went out and helped both of them. But I have
great regret about that because the Senate is going to be deprived of
the committed leadership and stewardship of both those senators. In
fact, we might ought to give them a little round of applause and
thank them for what they have done. (Applause.)
I am always going to be grateful to the Senate
leadership. The support has been superb. I mentioned earlier,
MORE
- 3 -
sometimes when you're in the White House, you take a position that
you feel strongly about, and you put various leaders in a difficult
position. And clearly we did that to various senators here from time
to time. But I want to single out Bob Dole, because this is a
remarkable leader, a remarkable -- (applause.) It's well-known that
he and I went head-to-head in tough primary days long ago. But the
beautiful thing is -- and I think it speaks -- anybody that studies
government can learn from all this. Here's a guy that took on this
role of leader, and working with a President with whom he had had --
done combat in the past; but subsequently we became, again, fast
friends. But he never ever put his own personal agenda ahead of the
agenda of the President. And that's kind of way it ought to work
when you have the White House. (Applause.)
But the lovely thing about it is the way he has
conducted himself subsequent to, as Winston Churchill said,
"receiving the order of the boot, that I have received. I thought
the speechwriter that wrote that, that I delivered last Saturday, was
a little harsh in his assessment of what happened to me. Then I
said, well, listen, being in the company of Churchill ain't all bad,
so I gave him a little raise and sent him back to Kentucky Fried
Chicken. But nevertheless -- (laughter.)
I was watching Bob very carefully -- and I've watched
others -- and the tendency when there's a defeat of this magnitude
and of this hurtfulness and of this enormity is to criticize, to find
somebody to blame. And regrettably some Republicans and certainly
many Democrats have fallen into this marvelous second-guessing track
-- figuring it all out and analyzing to the detriment of somebody
else and to tearing down somebody in order to ooch yourself up a
little with your wisdom. Not Senator Dole. From the minute the
election results were in, he has been courageous in standing up
against the common wisdom, saying nice things about the President and
Dan and Barbara and all of this.
And in addition, he's shown for the leadership really is
now in this country in terms of party. It can be in Bob Michel over
in the House but because of the numbers, it's more apt to rest on
Bob Dole's shoulders. And I think people understand it. I think
they respect the way he has assumed, without arrogance, without any
kind of bitterness, a significant leadership role to hold our party
together so people can look to him and look to, of course, to the
results that will be coming out of the Senate. And then under Bob's
leadership what will come out of the House.
The idea that this party has seen it's demise -- and I
love these little analysts, these media that I tried to annoy and
failed -- (laughter) to hear them analyze it all, you'd think that
this was that history had been indelibly writ, that the party is
out of here. I don't believe it for one, single minute.
And the thing that I've admired and respected about Bob
is the way he has, without arrogance, taken on this mantle of
leadership that he has earned through his years as leader up here on
the Hill and said, look, we're here to do battle. We're here to do
what's right for the country. We're going to be with you when we
think you're right. And we are going to stand on principle when we
think you're wrong. And that's exactly the way it should be. And I
can tell you, it's made it an awful lot easier for us as we
contemplate a future without politics, but look over, obviously, with
some distress and some angst over what has transpired one week ago
tonight.
So, Bob, there is no way that we can ever say
adequately, say thank you to you. But you watch, the country is
going to say it in plenty of ways in the troubled and tough days that
lie ahead. And so I'm grateful to you. And I didn't want to come

here, but I'm sure glad I did, because it gives me a chance to say
thanks to so many friends in this room.
And don't worry about the Bushes, we are looking ahead
now. I didn't think we would about a week ago today, but we're doing
it. And we'll be -- count our blessings when we get back to Houston
on January 20th for all the friends that have supported us so much.
Thank you, and God bless you all. (Applause.)
