PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: UNITED WAY CEREMONY
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1983
Well, thank you for this report and a special thanks for all
you are doing. It's been said that it's in times of adversity
that one's character is revealed. If that is true, we have much
for which to be proud today.
The American people through their giving to the United Way
and their many other demonstrations of kindness and generosity
last year proved that they remain a humane and caring people.
The good will that these figures represent is beyond doubt our
greatest National Treasury.
In the early days of our Republic Jefferson suggested, "I
deem it the duty of every man to devote a certain portion of his
income for charitable purposes; and that it is his further duty
to see it so applied as to do the most good of which it is
capable." Jefferson like the other founding fathers clearly saw
the relationship between voluntary charity, and the individual
liberty we enjoy in this country. I believe if he were with us
today he would be exceptionally proud of the outpouring of
contributions in 1982. I know I am.
DeTocquiville, that young French aristocrat who chronicled
his observations in Democracy in America, wrote that America will
be free as long as it is good. This report is reason for
confidence. So God bless you for all this magnificent display of
Americanism.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: LUNCHEON WITH KEY SUPPORTERS
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1983
Welcome to the White House. A little more than 2 years ago
we were in the midst of a political campaign. I want you to know
that I am deeply grateful for all of your dedication then and all
you've done since to help us accomplish what we set out to do.
In a free society, change is not something achieved by one
individual; instead it is a process that depends on teamwork and
cooperation of like-minded citizens -- and, of course, you've got
to be selling something the people want to buy.
Two years ago it wasn't my campaign that won the election,
it was our campaign. And I'm pleased that you've been able to
join me today for a discussion among friends of how far we've
come, and how much further we've got to go.
Now I know you've heard that the Democrats have proposed an
alternative budget. All they are asking for is a reversal of the
1980 election. They seem to believe we can go right back to the
same pre-1980 policies and it won't bring back inflation and pull
the rug out from under economic progress, or undermine our
national security. Of course they'd like to blame all the
economic chaos and uncertainty that prevailed among our people in
1980 on Jimmy Carter. Well, I've got news for them: No single
individual could have caused all our problems. The problems from
which we are just now emerging were the result of bad policies.
The Democrats controlled both Houses of the Congress and all of
the departments and agencies of the executive branch, as well as
Page 2
the White House, for 4 years. Their policies gave us devastating
inflation, sky-high interest rates, confiscatory taxation, a fall
in productivity, a drop in real wages, and the sense that our
country was in the grips of a national decline over which we had
no control. Our adversaries and friends alike began counting us
out as a world power.
When we started on the road together in 1980, we were, first
of all, concerned Americans. We promised the people to make
America great again. To do it we promised not just to change
people, but to change policies. We promised to get control of
Federal growth; we've cut it by 40 percent. We promised to turn
off the Federal tax vacuum that was taking more and more out of
the working people's pay checks. We've put in place a tax rate
reduction program that by the end of this year will have
decreased their income tax rates by 25 percent across the board.
Even more important, in 1985 indexing will be in place to
prevent the Government from using inflation to take more and more
money from the people without even having to go through the
formality of voting for a tax increase. And I can assure you,
I'm not about to back down on indexing.
We promised to loosen the burden of excessive regulations
that strangled business and prevented local and State government
from doing their jobs. Under the able leadership of Vice
President Bush we've cleared away useless and counterproductive
regulations affecting almost every segment of our economy.
One of the areas of grave concern in 1980 was the declining
prestige of our country. The 1970s were a decade of neglect for
Page 3
the security needs of the United States. Now, as much as some
would wish that it weren't so, a country's influence, its ability
to maintain peace and preserve its freedom, is dependent on its
strength. One fellow who occupied this house back around the
turn of the century said it well.
"The voice of the weakling
II President Teddy Roosevelt
said, "counts for nothing when he clamors for peace; but the
voice of the just man armed is potent. We need to keep in a
condition of preparedness
not because we want war, but
because we desire to stand with those whose plea for peace is
listened to with respectful attention."
In 1980 we promised to make America great again. It's been
a tough fight but, with your help, we've come a long way. Now I
know when friends come to visit they've got something to say too,
so why don't we just open this up for some dialogue.
