AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS
FINAL YEAR COMMENCEMENT ADDRESSES
Our analysis of presidential commencement addresses dating back to Woodrow Wilson
revealed the following: 1) Before the Truman administration, most presidents did not regularly deliver
commencement addresses at universities other than military academies. 2) With regard to the topic or
location of commencement addresses, there is no clear pattern for two term presidents in their final
year. It is worth noting, however, that all of those speeches do tout the particular administration's
accomplishments and related policy proposals - but do not introduce any new, sweeping initiatives or
ideas.
Presidents Hoover and Truman both spoke about civil rights at Howard University in 1932 and
1952 respectively. In 1968, President Johnson addressed three graduating classes of Texas
universities. He spoke about education, his domestic agenda and the Cold War. In 1960 President
Eisenhower addressed Notre Dame University, focusing on citizenship and the role of government.
President Reagan addressed the Coast Guard Academy during his final year. He discussed his
administration's anti-drug policy and programs.
We have included a synopsis of President Clinton's commencement addresses as well as a table
with the dates, locations and topics of all commencement addresses dating back to President Wilson.

PRESIDENT CLINTON: COMMENCEMENT THEMES
1993
President Clinton's 1993 Commencement addresses focused on the importance of revitalizing
the nation's economy and creating investments through which the American worker could effectively
compete in the global economy. These addresses focused heavily on the economy, Administration
accomplishments and the responsibilities of the government. Both the New Hampshire and
Northeastern speeches touched on the administration's economic accomplishments - lower interest
rates and job creations. All three speeches cited the importance of implementing a deficit reduction
package and investing in education, training and technology.
1994
The President's 1994 addresses touched on the themes of personal responsibility and
commitment. Both the Gallaudet and UCLA speeches mentioned AmeriCorps and the importance of
embracing diversity. The Naval Academy speech was largely concerned with foreign policy matters
and the transformations taking place in the world arena. It emphasized the need for an effective
military force and discussed US policy vis a vis Bosnia.
1995
In the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing and the Tokyo subway nerve gas attack, the
President's 1995 commencement addresses focused on the importance of international security and
anti-terrorism initiatives at home and abroad. At Michigan State, Dartmouth and the Air Force
Academy, the President discussed his anti-terrorism legislation, decried the militia movement and cited
the importance of striking a balance between political speech and personal safety.
1996
The President's 1996 commencement remarks, delivered on the heels of the upcoming election,
centered on the pillars first introduced in his 1992 New Covenant speeches at Georgetown:
opportunity, community and responsibility. The first speech, at Penn State, focused on personal
responsibility, including welfare reform, education, crime, and community service. At the Coast
Guard Academy, the President focused on America's responsibilities in the global community - -
specifically trade and security. At Princeton, the President addressed economic and educational
opportunities in the United States.
1997
The President's 1997 commencement speeches addressed the issues facing America in the 21st
Century. In his Morgan State speech, the President discussed the challenges posed by science and
technological developments in the new millennium. His speech at UC-San Diego addressed lasting
challenges posed by race and diversity in the United States - - and introduced the President's Initiative
on Race. The President's speech at the Military Academy discussed the importance of cooperative
military efforts (NATO) and the rise of new security threats.
2
1998
Similar in theme to the 1997 commencement addresses, the President's 1998 speeches also
discussed the major challenges of the 21ˢᵗ Century. His speech at MIT focused on the information age
and related challenges -- particularly the growing digital divide. The President's remarks at Portland
State addressed diversity in the new millennium and the challenges posed by immigration. His
remarks at the US Naval Academy addressed new security threats in the 21ˢᵗ century -- terrorism and
nuclear proliferation.
1999
The President's 1999 commencement addresses also reflected the theme of 21st Century
challenges. At Grambling, the President stressed the importance of building strong families in the 21ˢᵗ
Century. He proposed new childcare, family leave and education initiatives. In his University of
Chicago speech, the President discussed the importance of putting a human face on the global
economy. At the Airforce Academy, he addressed both the traditional and non-traditional threats
facing our military in the new century - including biological and chemical weapons and terrorism.

LORETTA UCELLI
SUBJECT:
2000 COMMENCEMENT OPTIONS
Based on your latest guidance, and further input from our in-house working group.
including the Vice President's office, Minyon Moore and Mark Penn, we have revised the
options for your 2000 commencement addresses. This new list takes into greater account
political and geographic considerations. We have attempted to connect each location to a
particular theme.
Please note that we have included an Historically Hispanic Institution, a venue you have
never visited for a commencement.
As you know, you have already agreed to deliver an address on science and technology at
the Coast Guard Academy on May 17. We are recommending that you do two additional
speeches: one on the subject of gun violence. hate crimes, One America. And another on the
subject of education as the centerpiece of your opportunity agenda.
In compiling these new options, we also took into account the need to put some breathing
room between each address.
Please select one university from each grouping:

Note:
Because racial and religious tolerance has emerged as a prominent issue
during this election season, an address on this topic would attract
particular attention at a Catholic university. Additionally, you should be
aware that several students perished in a dorm fire at the University last
fall.

EDUCATION/ OPPORTUNITY
Context:
We selected large state schools and a community college, with diverse racial and
socioeconomic student bodies, where we believe the audience would be
particularly receptive to your education message. A large percentage of the
student bodies at these schools have benefited from your education and college
opportunity policies.

THE CLINTON-GORE ADMINISTRATION:
MAKING THE CASE FOR COMMON-SENSE GUN LEGISLATION
March 7. 2000
"Congress has kept the American people waiting long enough. I want Congress to finish the gun bill and send it
to me by the anniversary of the Columbine tragedy on April 20th."
President Bill Clinton
March 7, 2000
Today, at the White House, President Clinton announced the release of a new Justice Department report showing the
devastating impact that gun violence has on American children. In the wake of last week's tragic shootings, the
President convened a meeting with Congressional leaders to break the logjam on pending common-sense gun
legislation. The President urged the leaders to act before the April 20th anniversary of the tragedy at Columbine High
School to enact legislation that includes closing the gun show loophole, requiring child safety locks for handguns,
and banning the importation of large-capacity ammunition clips. The President also called on the leaders to pass his
plan to punish adults who recklessly allow children to have access to deadly weapons.
RELEASING NEW REPORT ON KIDS AND GUNS. Today's report, Kids and Guns, shows that guns are the key
variable in the recent rise and fall of juvenile homicide. The report contains encouraging news on recent declines
in gun-related juvenile deaths, but emphasizes the need to remain vigilant in keeping guns out of the hands of
children. Key findings include:
Guns are the weapon of choice for juvenile homicide offenders. Between 1980 and 1997, 70 percent of juvenile
homicide offender victims were killed with a firearm.
The rise in murders of juveniles and by juveniles from the mid-1980's to their peak in 1993 was entirelv firearms-
related - as was their subsequent decline since 1993. Non-gun juvenile homicide remained constant during that
period.
Even with recent declines, too many American youth are killed by gunfire: the gun homicide rate of children
under 15 is 16 times higher in the U.S. than in 25 other industrialized nations combined.
These findings underscore the importance of the Administration's efforts to reduce gun violence, including the Brady
Law. the 1994 assault weapons ban, the Youth Handgun Safety Act banning juvenile handgun possession, and the
Youth Crime Gun Interdiction Initiative to crack down on illegal gun traffickers who supply guns to youth.
PUSHING CONGRESS TO PASS COMMON-SENSE GUN LEGISLATION. For eight months, the Congress has failed
to complete action on common-sense gun measures in the pending juvenile crime bill. In today's meeting, the
President asked the leaders to put the safety of American families first and move quickly to enact the Senate-passed
gun safety provisions, which include:
Closing the gun show loophole by requiring background checks for all sales at gun shows;
Requiring child safety locks for all new handguns;
Banning the importation of all large-capacity ammunition clips; and
Barring violent juveniles from owning a gun for life.
HOLDING PARENTS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHILD ACCESS TO GUNS. The President called on the Congressional
leaders to pass his Child Access Prevention (CAP) proposal, which would hold adults accountable if they allow
children easy access to loaded guns. Sixteen states have already adopted CAP laws, and a recent study shows that
these laws help reduce fatal unintentional shootings by an average of 23 percent.
LEADING AN EFFORT TO DEVELOP SMART GUN TECHNOLOGY. The President has proposed a $10 million FY
2001 budget initiative to fund the research, development and replication of "smart gun" technologies, which would
limit a gun's use to its proper adult owner and could prevent accidental shooting deaths and deter gun theft.
