Dear Mr. Jeb Bush,
This letter is respectfully written to exrpess my thanks to the
entire Bush family for their devotion and dedication to America.
My family's deep devotion and love for the Bush family first sur-
faced when my daughter, Carmen-Jaime wrote a letter to the Vice
President's wife, your mother. My daughter was blessed and on
cloud nine when she received a personal response from the Vice
President's lady, Mrs. Barbara Bush.
Since this time I have had the pleasure of being a member of a
concerned audience at the New World Landing in Pensacola, where
you addressed the group. I was quite impressed by your inform-
ative address and the rapport that was present at all times during
your presentation.
At a later time, I have had the pleasure of being an invited guest
to a gathering at the Naval Aviation Museum where the President of
the United States was to appear. The president, as usual did an
outstanding job, and spoke glowingly about the military, the milit-
ary families and the efforts of all the armed forces in the recent
Persian Gulf war. This day was highlighted when my wife Carmen had
the honor of shaking the hand of President George Bush.
Mr. Bush, I am at this time, humbly requesting your support for
Pensacola"s Memorial Day Services program. If you review the en-
closed material, you will see that a United Parcel Routeman by the
name of Bill Polakiewicz, became alarmed at the lack of student
knowledge and student participation in Memorial Day services all
over America. Bill's concern found others who shared in his love
of country and America's veterans.

Before too long a period of time, several concerned local people
joined Bill's bandwagon. I feel very fortunate and honored to
be one of those proud Americans who wanted to honor our country's
greatest treasures "HER DECEASED VETERANS and HER LIVING STUDENTS
WHO WILL BE TOMORROW'S VETERANS. "
I would like to request that the winners of the Memorial Day Poster
contest be considered for possible recognition by the President of
the United States. This recognition could be offered in the form
MAn
of a written citation or award from the educational President, your
father, President George Bush. If my request receives a positive
response, the awards could be made by yourself or by one of the
Memorial Day Services Committee members.
I have expanded my dreams of honoring the deceased veterans and the
surviving familiy members in an unusual way, as I will explain.
During the Gulf conflict, one entire crew of a United States Air
Force, AC 130 was lost in an attempt to provide air cover for a
group of their ground combat colleagues. This aircraft designated,
#03 was from Hurlbert Field, Mary Esther, Florida and many of the
families were and still are Florida residents. Now, just think
how appropriate it would be to honor these veteran's who made the
supreme sacrifice by honoring their remaining family members. With
this thought in mind I am going to attempt to contact Air France,
the national airline of France and request a donation of air travel
to the French Magic Kingdom for the family members of Flt#03 from
the United States Air Force. If this might be possible, just con-
sider the display of comradeship, compassion and love for the crew
members of the crew who offered their lives for "WORLD PEACE.'
Wow! what a Memorial Day for America and for our ally and friend the
great country of France.
Mr. Bush, I hope you can find some merit in my hope, dream and pray-
ers for this project.
Rest assured that all the Kerrigans will be working for the entire
Bush family, for the Bush ticket but above all for the President of
the United States and his wonderful First Lady, America's finest
First Lady ever.

Dear Carmen-Jaime:
I am responding to your letter requesting an invitation to the
dedication ceremony of the Naval Museum at the Pensacola Naval
Air Station in October.
I regret to tell you that the invitations to this ceremony are
not handled at the White House. Therefore, I would recommend
that you contact the person in charge of the event at the
Pensacola Naval Air Station. I am sorry that I cannot be of
assistance to you and that my response is a disappointing one.
However, you may be interested to know that the President is not
scheduled for this dedication ceremony in October.

MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES COMMITTEE
April 6, 1992
Dear Fellow Americans
and
Proud Northwest Corridor Floridians,
Once again, Pensacola's metropolitan area is privileged to host the
annual Memorial Day services, the program dedicated to honoring
America's deceased military veterans from all branches of our armed
services. The supreme sacrifice by these patriots has enabled
Americans to pursue lives of freedom and happiness unequalled in
any other country in the world.
Young students in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties will soon
proudly submit their personally hand-drawn posters to characterize
our Memorial Day services theme of "REMEMBER, RESPECT, HONOR."
Continued annual expansion of the program and the steadily
increasing numbers of students who participate each year offer
plenty of proof that our children are alert and sensitive to
patriotism and community spirit. They have joined in the program
with enthusiasm and notable energy, and the results clearly show
the effort, ingenuity, and obvious talent that have gone into their
production. At a time when the trend appears to heap negative
criticism on our children and our school system, it is a pleasant
experience to note that American kids can and do react positively
to an occasion of sentiment and patriotism.
These students who participate so cooperatively in our memorial
program are offered positive recognition through the awards that
have been established during the last four years of these memorial
programs. However, the services committee hopes to increase the
scope of these awards and to offer selected students the
opportunity to build a patriotic dream into a memory that they can
share with fellow students, friends, and peers.
We look forward to becoming able to give some of our local
students, winners in the Memorial Day Services Poster Contest, a
visit to the Animated Studios of the Disney World enterprises at
Buena Vista, Florida. We believe that this acknowledgement of
their achievement will heighten their inspiration and motivation
and serve as a boost for participation. To this end, we earnestly
solicit your support to create this opportunity.
P.O. BOX 12233, PENSACOLA, FLORIDA 32581 - 2233
At this time I am taking the liberty of asking for the support of
the named individuals, corporations, or activity managers listed
below; not merely those listed, but the entire Northwest Corridor
COMMUNITY OF PATRIOTS. Let us show the entire country and the
world that WE DO CARE & SHARE FOR OUR VETERANS & OUR STUDENTS.
Requests for participation as sponsors or co-sponsors of the
"PENSACOLA MEMORIAL DAY PARADE & SERVICES" are submitted to the
following: The Sentinel Newspaper, The Pensacola News Journal, The
Gannett Publishing Corporation, Channel 3 TV, Channel 10 TV, Multi-

Breeze Mayor Ed Gray and Milton Mayor Clyde Gracey.
We thank you in advance for any assistance that you or your
associate groups are able to offer. This is a worthy program, and
its goal is that of providing a living memorial to our own military
deceased, the heroes among us, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends,
men and women who gave their lives for America. Please help us to
"REMEMBER, RESPECT, HONOR.'

MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES COMMITTEE
Commanding Officers
Northwest Florida's Corridor of
Military Bases, Stations, Fields and Sites
Dear Commanding Officer:
I would like to take this opportunity to inform you and your staff of
the upcoming annual "MEMORIAL DAY PARADE CEREMONY" to be held in Pensacola,
Florida on Monday, May 25, 1992. This ceremony is conducted in honor of
America's deceased military veterans and their families in the Northwest
Florida's "CORRIDOR OF PATRIOTS".
Over the years the Memorial Day Services Committee established a Memorial
Day poster program by involving the Escambia county school system students.
Last year the poster program was extended to include the Santa Rosa county
school system students. Currently the Memorial Day Services Committee is
evaluating the possibility of further extending the poster program to the-
students in the Okaloosa county school system so these students can display
their expressions of patriotism and love of America. The ultimate goal
of the Memorial Day Committee is to see this program or one similar in
nature take root in every community of the United States of America.
The sole purpose of the Memorial Day Services Committee is to REMEMBER-
RESPECT - HONOR America's deceased military veterans and on a tandem
course inform and educate our young students about the sacrifice that
members of America's armed forces have made in the past, are presently
making and will continue to make in the future to protect our country.
We realize that this program is targeted towards students who will be
future members of our armed forces and will become America's veterans
of the future. This positive community inspired program would be enhanced
by your position as a commanding officer who could direct participation
by your staff and active duty personnel. Along this line I am respectfully
requesting your consideration of the possibility of your organization
awarding a commander's trophy or certificate of recognition to the winner
or winners of the Memorial Day Poster program. This recognition could be
further dramatized by an invitation for the recipent and his or her parents
to tour the military installation and having a dinner at the Officer's
club, the Chief's club or the NCO club.
As a retired military officer with many volunteer community affiliations,
I am aware of the difficult times that are forecasted for our military
communities. As I have dedicated myself to this worth while venture, I
will do as much for any positive orientated program geared to the military.

The President is doing so much
more for education- more than any
other President. It's unfortunate
that the ill of the nation aisp so
often blamed on education -
But Theres always "a morning after,"
and our nation is blessed that the
President has the courage of a modern day
prover -to roll back the unknown frontier-
to forge the way - give new hope & new knowledge
Lots of love, June

** MOST OF THESE CALLERS WANT POTUS TO FORCEFULLY BACK THE
(OVER)
VICE-PRESIDENT ON HIS SPEECH ON FAMILY VALUES AND ON MURPHY BROWN.
THEY ALL FEEL HE WAS WAFFLING.
COMMENTS FOR THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1992 9:00 A.M.-5:00 P.M.
CALLERS ARE URGING MR. BUSH TO SPEAK OUT LIKE VICE PRESIDENT
QUAYLE. THEY ARE DISAPPOINTED THAT MR. BUSH DIDN'T BACK WITH
CONVICTION MR. QUAYLE'S POSITION ON MORALS AND FAMILY. MR. BUSH
NEEDS TO TAKE A LESSON FROM MR. QUAYLE'S COURAGE AND STRONG
FAMILY CONVICTIONS AND STAND UP TO THE LIBERALS.
ONE OF THE TEL AIDES SAID SHE HAD QUITE A FEW CALLERS SAY THEY
WERE GOING TO VOTE FOR ROSS PEROT BUT BECAUSE OF V.P. QUAYLE'S
SPEECH AND POSITIVE POSITION ON MORALS AND T.V., THEY WILL VOTE
FOR THE V.P. AND POTUS. THIS CHANGED THEIR VOTE.
I LAUGHED ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE ON MONDAY NIGHT
BUT DAN
QUAYLE IS RIGHT.
A RADIO STATION IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH CALLED AND WANTED TO KNOW
WHY THE V.P. FELT MURPHY BROWN CAUSED THE L.A. RIOTS. THEY FELT
SHOWS SUCH AS "LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, FATHER KNOWS BEST, THE BRADY
BUNCH" WERE NOT REALISTIC AND MADE MANY THINK THEIR HOME LIFE WAS
NOT THE NORM.
SINGLE MOTHERS SHOULD NOT ALL BE LUMPED TOGETHER. ACTUALLY NO
GROUP SHOULD BE - LEADS TO BIGOTRY AND MISUNDERSTANDING.
THE FARM BASEBALL TEAM OF THE DETROIT TIGERS - THE MUD HENS,
CALLED AS A TEAM TO SUPPORT THE VICE PRESIDENT'S REMARKS. URGE
MR. BUSH TO SAY - YES, MY V.P. WAS RIGHT ON TARGET. I SUPPORT
HIM ALL THE WAY.
MR. QUAYLE AND MR. BUSH SHOULD FOCUS ON REAL LIFE AND THE REAL
DEFICIT. MURPHY BROWN MAY BE INDICATIVE OF A PROBLEM BUT IS NOT
THE PROBLEM.
THE V.P. HAS A VALID POINT BUT HE SURE DID EXPRESS IT IN A WAY
GUARANTEED TO OBSCURE.
DON'T THE PRESIDENT AND V.P. REALIZE THAT WE JUST HAD RIOTS IN
L.A.? THE ECONOMY IS STILL IN THE DOLDRUMS - HOMELESS ON THE
STREETS. KIDS NOT GETTING A PROPER EDUCATION AND THEY POINT THE
FINGER AT A FICTIONAL CHARACTER WHO CHOSE NOT TO HAVE AN ABORTION
AND HAS THE EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO SUPPORT A CHILD.
WAKE UP IN D.C. BOTTLE THE REAL PROBLEMS.
IN A PERFECT WORLD, ALL FAMILIES WOULD LOVE ONE ANOTHER, BE
SMART, NEVER FIGHT, HAVE ENOUGH MONEY so THE MOTHER COULD STAY
HOME AND DAD BRING HOME THE BACON. HOWEVER, LET'S START
ADDRESSING REALITY AND T.V. SIT COMS. YOU "JUST DON'T GET IT."
THE VICE PRESIDENT NEEDS SUPPORT OF ALL BUT AS A SINGLE MOTHER,
HE OWES US AN APOLOGY.
MR. QUAYLE HAS MATURED AND IS SHOWING GROWTH IN HIS POSITION.
PAGE 2 - 5/20/92
CALLER IS TIRED OF ALL THE BUSH BASHING. WANTED POTUS TO KNOW.
RE-ELECT BUSH - WE LOVE HIM.
DEMOCRAT VOTED FOR BUSH/QUAYLE LAST TIME AND WILL AGAIN IF HE
KEEPS QUAYLE ON THE TICKET.
WORD ILLEGITIMATE SHOULD NOT BE USED - NO SUCH THING AS AN
ILLEGITIMATE CHILD.
THE EARTH SUMMIT IS A MONEY GRAB. THEY WILL MAKE THE U.S. FEEL
GUILTY FOR BEING PRODUCTIVE. WE'RE BEING CONNED.
CALLER SAID HE IS A DEMOCRAT AND TOTALLY SUPPORTS THE VICE
PRESIDENT. SAID "I'M TIRED OF THIS QUAYLE BASHING. I'LL NOT
VOTE FOR HIM BUT I SUPPORT HIS TRUTH AND HAVING THE COURAGE TO
SAY IT."
VETO HR 1430 - CALLER IS A METHODIST MINISTER. THIS HOUSE BILL
DEALS WITH HOMOSEXUAL RIGHTS IN SCHOOLS, NURSERIES ETC. THE
MINISTER IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MORAL FIBER OF THIS COUNTRY.
STOP THE HAITIANS COMING INTO THIS COUNTRY.
LET THE PRIVATE SECTOR FUND THE NEA. THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO
BUSINESS IN THE ARTS.
CALLER IS CONCERNED THEY MAY LOSE THEIR LAND IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA DUE TO A DAM BEING BUILT - 37,000 ACRES WERE SET ASIDE
ORIGINALLY AND NOW THEY WANT 40,000 MORE. HOMES WILL HAVE TO BE
DEMOLISHED.
POTUS SHOULD VETO THE VOTERS REGISTRATION BILL. TOO MANY
ILLEGAL ALIENS WILL BE VOTING AND GETTING WELFARE AND FOOD STAMPS
ETC.
THE BROOKS BILL ON TELECOMMUNICATIONS SHOULD BE VETOED.
DO SOMETHING, MR. BUSH, TO GET COMMON PEOPLE BACK TO THE PARTY.
WHY HASN'T BUSH GOTTEN RID OF WALSH? - IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE.
PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ACKNOWLEDGING JOHNNY CARSON.
DAN QUAYLE SHOULD COME OUT AND ASK WHERE ARE THE MEN RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLD HIDING?
CALLER ASKS POTUS TO TRANSFER "THE MONKEYS" TO A SANCTUARY OR
HUMANE SOCIETY.

RE: VICE PRESIDENT QUAYLE'S SPEECH RE FAMILY VALUES
THE VICE PRESIDENT'S STATEMENT ON T.V. ON 5/19 CONVINCED ME
TO VOTE FOR YOU.
MR. QUAYLE IS THE BEST THING GOING. HOORAY FOR BUSH/QUAYLE.
THEY HAVE MY VOTE. HE PUT ME BACK IN THE BUSH/QUAYLE
COLUMN.
APPRECIATE V.P. STAND. HE IS A FAMILY VALUE PERSON -
HOORAY.
PRAISING THE MORALS OF FAMILY VALUES IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION. RIGHT ON VICE PRESIDENT QUAYLE.
CONGRATULATIONS TO V.P. HE IS so RIGHT.
THE ISSUE IS NOT MURPHY BROWN - IT'S ABOUT THE MORALS IN
THIS COUNTRY. THANKS DAN FOR SPEAKING UP.
YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK BUT PLEASE TEMPER YOUR REMARKS -
DON'T LUMP US ALL TOGETHER - THE SINGLE MOTHER'S GROUP.
MOTHER OF 5 PUT HER HUSBAND THROUGH MEDICAL SCHOOL IN
MINNESOTA AND IS DIVORCED NOW. WISHES TO SUPPORT WHOLE
HEARTEDLY VICE PRESIDENT QUAYLE AND PRESIDENT BUSH'S
POSITION ON FAMILY VALUES AND SOUND MORAL LIFE. SOCIETY HAS
NOT PROMOTED MOTHERS STAYING AT HOME AND SHE REGRETS THIS.
JOYCE JUSTIS, 14129 FRONTIER, BURNSVILLE, MINNESOTA 55337
THE VICE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH YESTERDAY WAS OUTRAGEOUS.
(SOME OF THE NEGATIVES ARE NOT REPEATABLE.)
HAPPY THE V.P. HAS THE GUTS TO SPEAK OUT - FROM A WISCONSIN
WOMAN,
COMMEND YOU FOR YOUR STAND RE MURPHY BROWN SHOW. KEEP
SPEAKING OUT.
FULLY SUBSCRIBE TO V.P.'S REMARKS. TELL IT LIKE IT IS -
EVEN IF YOU GET BRICK BATS.
THE THEME OF QUAYLE'S SPEECH IS DEFINITELY A LEADERSHIP
ROLE. KEEP IT UP. FROM TWO REPUBLICANS IN NEW YORK.
FROM A SOUTHERN LADY IN ATLANTA - I WHOLE HEARTEDLY APPROVE
OF THE V.P.'S REMARKS. HE SPEAKS FOR "LADIES" NOT THESE so-
CALLED FREE SLEEPING BIMBOS WHO PRODUCE A CHILD AND THEN
BLAME SOCIETY FOR THEIR PROBLEMS.
QUAYLE IS DOING A BETTER JOB NOW. GOOD SPEECHES AND MIXES
WELL WITH MINORITIES AND NEEDS TO GET THEM INVOLVED IN GOLF.
PAGE 2 - ON VICE-PRESIDENT QUAYLE AS OF 11:45 A.M.
V.P. QUAYLE HAS GONE TOO FAR WITH THIS MURPHY BROWN ISSUE.
THERE IS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN HAVING A CHILD OUT OF
WEDLOCK.
DAN QUAYLE IS TOTALLY IRRATIONAL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THE
V.P. IS OFF THE WALL.
THANKS. MR. QUAYLE FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON POPULAR TELEVISION.
GOOD JOB DAN - KEEP IT UP.
QUAYLE IS AN EGGHEAD. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING MAKE ME AS
ANGRY. THE STANCE OF THE PRESIDENT IS NOW LINKED TO A T.V.
SHOW.
GLAD V.P. QUAYLE SAID WHAT HE DID. KIDS NEED TWO PARENTS.
V.P. QUAYLE NEEDS A COMMENT LINE.
IT WAS GREAT WHAT QUAYLE SAID ABOUT MURPHY BROWN. THANKS
FOR HAVING THE GUTS AND COURAGE TO STAND UP FOR AMERICAN
VALUES.
VICE PRESIDENT QUAYLE WAS VERY INSENSITIVE TOWARDS WOMEN.
HERE IS A WOMAN WHO CHOSE TO HAVE THE BABY AND NOT AN
ABORTION.
so HAPPY DAN QUAYLE IS SPEAKING OUT FOR FAMILY VALUES. OUT
HERE IN L.A. WE APPLAUD HIM.
MURPHY BROWN SHOW JUST SHOWS THE LACK OF MORALITY IN LOS
ANGELES AND OTHER PLACES. THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IS
DEVALUING THE MORALS OF THE FAMILY - ALL IN THE NAME OF A
SUPPOSED "SIT COM."
IT'S ABOUT TIME THE WHITE HOUSE SPOKE ON MORALITY OF T.V.
OBJECTED TO EVERYTHING QUAYLE SAID. MURPHY BROWN IS OK -
THE PROBLEM IS SOMEWHERE ELSE.
TELL THE V.P. THIS IS 1992 - NOT 1952. PSYCHOLOGISTS ARE
TELLING THAT A FAMILY IS MADE UP OF MANY COMPONENTS AND IF
THE FATHER IS LACKING, THERE IS NO PROBLEM.
THE RIOTS IN L.A. HAVE NO CONNECTION WITH FAMILY VALUES.
WOMAN CALLER SAID ABORTION IS THE ANSWER TO WOMEN HAVING
CHILDREN OUT OF WEDLOCK.
IF VICE PRESIDENT QUAYLE WANTS A TRANSFORMATION OF VALUES -
START AT THE WHITE HOUSE AND AT THE TOP.
PAGE 3
5/20/92
11:45 A.M. - 5:00 P.M.
PRESIDENT BUSH IS "BACKING OFF" OR "BACKING DOWN" THROUGH
FITZWATER. THIS WILL COST HIM VOTES. HE NEEDS TO SUPPORT
THE VICE PRESIDENT ON THIS ONE.
YOU'VE WON THE TRIPLE CROWN DAN QUAYLE. KEEP IT UP.
GEORGE BUSH - STAND BY YOUR MAN.
I WILL BE VOTING REPUBLICAN BECAUSE OF WHAT DAN QUAYLE SAID.
AGREE TOTALLY WITH DAN QUAYLE. TELL MARLIN FITZWATER TO
KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT.
OREGON MAN SAID DAN QUAYLE IS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING.
GEORGE BUSH WILL GET MY VOTE BECAUSE OF YOU.
YOU'RE OFF THE WALL DAN QUAYLE CALIFORNIA WOMAN.
NO VOTE - NOT MY VOTE DAN QUAYLE - CALIFORNIA WOMAN.
COMPLETELY AGREE WITH DAN QUAYLE. THE WHITE HOUSE SHOULD
BACK HIM UP. HE'S ON TARGET.
100% CORRECT IN QUAYLE'S REMARKS. IT TOOK COURAGE AND
HONESTY TO SAY WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID. BUSH SHOULD BACK YOU
UP.
DAN QUAYLE HAS MORE GUTS THAN ANYONE I KNOW.
I THOROUGHLY APPLAUD DAN QUAYLE. BUSH SHOULD BACK HIM UP.
DAN QUAYLE HAS INSULTED THE SINGLE WOMAN - HILLARY CLINTON
SQUELCHED THE COOKIE BAKERS WHAT'S LEFT FOR GEORGE AND
BILLY CLINTON TO TAKE ON?
DAN QUAYLE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS - - STOP KICKING HIS TAIL,
GEORGE BUSH.
DENOUNCE MARLIN FITZWATER.
TELL GEORGE HE CAN STAY ON THE TICKET IF HE KEEPS DAN QUAYLE
ON IT. QUAYLE'S GOT GUTS.
CLINTON IS NO GOOD - PEROT WOULD DO AWAY WITH THE
CONSTITUTION. BUSH, GET WITH IT AND SUPPORT YOUR VICE
PRESIDENT. HE SPEAKS FOR MANY OF US. FREDERICKSBURG, VA.
GIRL SCOUT LEADER IN HAWAII SAID DAN QUAYLE IS AN IDIOT AND
DOES NOT LIKE WOMEN.
A LOT OF WOMEN AGREE WITH HIM AND I AM ONE OF THEM. CALLER
IS FROM PHILADELPHIA.
PAGE 4 - VICE-PRESIDENT QUAYLE 11:45 A.M - 5:00 P.M.
CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE AND I SEE A LOT OF UNWED MOTHERS
COMING INTO THE HOSPITAL. A LOT OF THEM ARE INVOLVED IN
DRUGS AND ALCOHOL AND GANGS. THESE CHILDREN ARE HAVING
CHILDREN. WHO SUFFERS, BUT THE CHILDREN? WHAT QUAYLE SAID
IS THE TRUTH AND THE WHITE HOUSE NEEDS TO STAND UP BEHIND
DAN QUAYLE.
DON'T BACK STEP THE V.P. NOW FOR THE SAKE OF SOME T.V.
PRODUCER OF MURPHY BROWN.
COME ON WHITE HOUSE - BACK UP YOUR MAN.
THE VICE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN THE WHIPPING BOY OF THE LIBERAL
MEDIA FOR TOO LONG. GOOD JOB.
I LIKE THE MURPHY BROWN PROGRAM AND WATCH IT ALL THE TIME
BUT THE VICE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT.
THE VICE PRESIDENT TOOK UP A CHALLENGE BY SAYING WHAT HAD TO
BE SAID ABOUT THE SAD STATE OF MORALITY IN THIS COUNTRY.
I WISH PRESIDENT BUSH CAME UP WITH A STRONG COMMENT ON
MORALITY AS VICE PRESIDENT QUAYLE DID.
DAN QUAYLE WAS RIGHT ON TARGET. HIT THE PROBLEM RIGHT ON
THE HEAD - THE FAMILY. MONEY CANNOT CORRECT THE LACK OF
MORAL VALUES.
I RAISED TWO CHILDREN BY MYSELF. IF QUAYLE WANTS TO DO
SOMETHING, HAVE HIM PASS A BILL TO COLLECT FROM DEADBEAT
DADS - NOW, ONE IS A TEACHER AND THE OTHER A FIREMAN.
QUAYLE'S SPEECH WAS THE MOST STUPID SPEECH I EVER HEARD.
THIS T.V. SHOW CHARACTER DIDN'T HAVE AN ABORTION. QUAYLE
SHOULD HAVE CRITICIZED THE FATHER.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE WHITE HOUSE IS STRATTLING THE FENCE.
GET BEHIND THE VICE PRESIDENT. PEOPLE NEED TO BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.
MARLIN FITZWATER IS WRONG. THE WHITE HOUSE WON'T EVEN STAND
UP BEHIND DAN QUAYLE. THE PRESIDENT IS SPINELESS AND WEAK
KNEED.
CALLER FEELS THE V.P. WAS RIGHT ON. IF YOU WATCH THE TALK
SHOWS ON T.V., IT ONLY PROVES THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS MORAL
VALUES MORE OFTEN. HE ALSO ASKS THAT POTUS BACK THE V.P.
AND NOT BACK OFF FROM THE V.P. IT WILL ONLY REINFORCE THE
PEOPLE'S IMAGE OF POTUS AS A "WIMP."
RADIO "KOA" IN DENVER SAID, 507 FOR QUAYLE AND 104 AGAINST.
PAGE 5 - 5/20/92
IF THE WHITE HOUSE IS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH DAN QUAYLE'S
REMARKS, THEN I'M UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE WHITE HOUSE. I AM
A VOTER AND WILL EXERCISE MY RIGHT COME NOVEMBER.
I'M DISAPPOINTED IN MARLIN FITZWATER - I'M SO MAD I COULD
STRANGLE HIM.
THE V.P. MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN PAULA ZAN'S RADIO 1 MINUTE
COMMENTARY TODAY ON CBS-88. SHE'S NORMALLY VERY LIBERAL.
TODAY SHE SAID A WOMAN WHO RAISED A CHILD BY HERSELF WOULD
NEVER DO IT AGAIN.
THIS ISSUE GOING ON NOW IS EXACTLY WHAT'S GOTTEN BUSH INTO
TROUBLE ALL ALONG. HE RUNS AROUND TALKING ABOUT FAMILY
VALUES THEN HE BACKS OFF ON THIS THING.
BUSH DOES NOT UNDERSTAND LIBERALS - YOU CANNOT COMPROMISE
WITH THEM.
SOMEBODY BETTER LET DAN RATHER AND TOM BROKAW KNOW THAT THE
MAJORITY SUPPORT WHAT QUAYLE SAID. STOP THE LIBERAL
REPORTING.
IT'S A DOUBLE STANDARD FOR QUAYLE TO SAY MURPHY BROWN SHOULD
NOT HAVE HAD HER BABY AS A SINGLE PARENT AND FOR HIM TO BE
AGAINST ABORTION.
WHY IS THE WHITE HOUSE BACKING OFF FROM DAN QUAYLE'S
COMMENTS? NOW, I KNOW THAT THERE IS NO BACKBONE AT THE
WHITE HOUSE. I SUPPORT DAN QUAYLE 100%.
YO, DANNY, GOOD JOB.
MURPHY BROWN WANTED TO HAVE A BABY. THIS DOESN'T MEAN SHE
IS PRO-LIFE LIKE MARLIN FITZWATER SAID. MARLIN NEEDS TO
WATCH SOME T.V. SHE DRAGGED HER EX-HUSBAND TO BED SO THAT
SHE WOULD HAVE A BABY. WHAT DAN SAID IS TRUE. WE ARE
BEHIND DAN 100%. GET IN TOUCH.
VICE-PRESIDENT QUAYLE DESERVES A MEDAL.
POTUS SHOULD LOOK AT HIS POSITION. HE IS GOING TO LOSE THE
ELECTION IF HE DOESN'T CHANGE HIS POSITION. PRO CHOICE PLUS
PRO FAMILY VALUES PLUS A FAMILY UNIT. KEEP FAMILY UNIT IN A
STRUCTURE. HELP FAMILIES GET OUT POVERTY. DON'T TAKE AWAY
WELFARE IF FATHER LIVES WITH THE FAMILY.
SORRY FITZWATER DID NOT SUPPORT THE V.P. MORE. CALLER SAID
IN SAN FRANCISCO THE TALK ALL A.M. WAS MURPHY BROWN. MANY
WERE NOT ONLY HAPPY WITH QUAYLE BUT "TAKING ON HOLLYWOOD" IS
WHAT SO MANY THERE WANTED. WISH POTUS HAD DONE THE SAME.
PAGE 6 - 5/20/92
I'D LIKE TO SEE THE WHITE HOUSE SPEAK OUT A LOT MORE ON TV
SHOWS THAT DEMORALIZE THIS COUNTRY.
ALPHA COLLINS WORKED FOR V.P. QUAYLE IN HIS FIRST SENATORIAL
CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA. SHE DID NOT LIKE THE SPEECH AND WILL
NOT VOTE FOR HIM.
I AM 56 YEARS OLD, AN 8TH GRADE TEACHER, WHO IS SO PROUD
THAT THE VICE PRESIDENT SAID WHAT HE DID. I HAVE 8TH
GRADERS WITH 2 YEAR OLD CHILDREN.
V.P. QUAYLE'S SPEECH WAS BEAUTIFUL - NOT PREACHING, SINCERE
AND WHAT PEOPLE WERE WAITING TO HEAR FOR A LONG TIME.
PAGE 7 5/20/92
OTHER ISSUES
THERE SHOULD BE A STAY OF EXECUTION FOR COLEMAN AND THEN AN
INVESTIGATION INTO HOW HIS CASE WAS HANDLED. MOST CALLERS
EXPRESSED THIS VIEW - SOME SAYING THEY WERE NOT LIBERALS BUT
THERE WAS AN ELEMENT OF DOUBT. MOST CALLERS WANT POTUS TO
INTERVENE. MOST CALLERS ARE NOT AGAINST CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BUT
FEEL EXECUTION SHOULD BE HALTED FOR NOW. CALLS CAME FROM
ENGLAND, GERMANY AND THE NETHERLANDS.
VETO D.C. STATEHOOD WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR DESK.
THE PRESIDENT SHOULDN'T VETO A BILL THAT WOULD REGISTER A PERSON
TO VOTE WHEN THEY GET THEIR DRIVERS LICENSE.
POTUS NEEDS TO START PROTECTING OUR BORDERS.
CHECK INTO ROSS PEROT'S LAY OFF PRACTICES DURING RECESSIONS.
ENVIRONMENT CONTROL IS OUT OF REALITY.
TOO MUCH MONEY IS DUMPED INTO SPACE.
DO SOMETHING ABOUT USELESS BUSING OF 5 YEAR OLDS TO SCHOOLS.
HOMOSEXUALS IN THE MILITARY SHOULD NOT BE ADMITTED.
WE HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO SUPPORT PEOPLE THAT BREAK THE LAW.
DON'T COMMIT THE U.S. IN RIO FOR MORE THAN OUR SHARE.
IF THIS IS THE "YEAR OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN," WHY WAS THE ARIZONA
RESERVATION RAIDED?
DO NOT CUT FUNDS FOR CHILDREN.
IF ROE-WADE IS OVERTURNED, WOMEN IN TEXAS WILL DEMONSTRATE AT THE
GOP CONVENTION IN HOUSTON.
CAMPAIGN AGAINST LIBERAL CONGRESS AND FORGET OTHER STUFF. THEY
CANNOT BE PLEASED. REPRESENT THE VALUES OF THE PEOPLE WHO
ELECTED YOU.

COMMENTS FOR FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1992 9:00 A.M.-5:00 P.M.
"THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THE COMMENTS LINE. YOU PEOPLE ARE
THE UNSUNG HEROS."
AGAIN REPUBLICAN CALLERS ARE ASKING POTUS OR HIS PEOPLE TO GET
OUT BACK UP DAN QUAYLE. TWO MICHIGAN CALLERS SAID POTUS SHOULD
USE THE T.V. AND GET ON AND SAY HE BACKS DAN QUAYLE. STOP
LISTENING TO THE POLLS AND YOU MIGHT WIN BACK SOME OF THE
CONSERVATIVE VOTERS WHO ARE SWITCHING TO PEROT. THESE CALLERS SAY
THEY SUPPORT POTUS BUT HE NEEDS TO GET HIS MESSAGE OUT AND WIN
BACK HIS SUPPORTERS THAT ARE CONSIDERING VOTING FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
ONE OF THE MICHIGAN CALLERS WANTS POTUS TO HANG FIRM ON THE PORK
BARREL BILLS. SAID TELL HIM TO GET OUT THERE AND LET THE PUBLIC
KNOW WHAT HE WANTS TO CUT AND THE DEMOCRATS DON'T. SHE STRESSED
POTUS NEEDS TO SPEAK OUT MORE. SHE FEELS HIS ADVISORS ARE
FAILING HIM.
WHY ISN'T ANYONE OUT THERE ATTACKING ROSS PEROT? THE
CONSERVATIVES NEED TO KNOW THAT PEROT IS A LIBERAL AND PRO
CHOICE. VOTING FOR PEROT WOULD BE LIKE SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE
HEAD. PEROT SPELLS DISASTER FOR THE UNITED STATES AS WE KNOW IT.
THIS MAN WOULD DO AWAY WITH THE CONSTITUTION. WHAT A JOKE - HE
SAYS NOW THAT HE WOULDN'T LIVE IN THE WHITE HOUSE BUT WOULD BE
OUT THERE WITH THE PEOPLE. SHOW HIM UP FOR THE JOKE HE IS.
I HAVE BEEN A DEMOCRAT FOR 45 YEARS BUT BECAUSE OF THE V.P.'S
STAND, I WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN.
VARIOUS COMMENTS - BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO - GLAD SOMEONE HAD THE
GUTS TO ACT - COURAGEOUS - STAND FIRM - MANY SAY THEY WILL NOW
VOTE FOR THE TICKET - MANY THANK YOU'S.
CALLER SAYS QUAYLE'S REMARKS HAVE MADE HER DECIDE TO VOTE FOR THE
BUSH/QUAYLE TEAM. QUAYLE IS BRINGING VOTES BACK TO BUSH.
IF I VOTE FOR BUSH IN THE FALL, IT WILL BE BECAUSE OF DAN QUAYLE,
NOT IN SPITE OF HIM.
THE MORALS OF THIS COUNTRY ARE GOING DOWN HILL AND QUAYLE IS
COURAGEOUS TO SPEAK UP. AMERICA DESERVES BETTER AND WE THANK DAN
QUAYLE FOR SAYING IT AS IT IS.
QUAYLE SHOULD RECEIVE THE KENNEDY "PROFILE OF COURAGE" AWARD.
THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS TOOK A POLL ON QUAYLE'S REMARK AND IT WAS
3 TO 1 FOR HIM.
SINGLE MOM CALLED TO SAY SHE IS SOLIDLY BEHIND THE V.P. HE WAS
RIGHT ON TARGET AND SHE VERY MUCH AGAINST THE MEDIA. SHE SAID
"THE VICE PRESIDENT LIVES WHAT HE IS.' "
ANOTHER CALLER SAID THE V.P. IS ON TARGET. SHE SAID BROKEN
FAMILIES BRING ON BROKEN COUNTRIES. SHE ALSO FEELS THE MEDIA
WHIPS UP THE PUBLIC WITH THEIR PERSONAL IDEOLOGIES AND LIES.
I AM A TRUE BUSH SUPPORTER FROM ATLANTA. I SEE PEOPLE DRIVING
AROUND WITH PEROT'S BUMPER STICKERS. WHERE ARE YOUR PEOPLE?
TELL THEM TO GET ON THE BALL.
CALLER WANTED TO KNOW WHO WAS PAYING FOR POTUS' TRIP TO
KENNEBUNKPORT THIS WEEKEND - NOT THE TAXPAYER HE HOPES. THE
CALLER FEELS CAMP DAVID IS ADEQUATE AND POTUS SHOULD RELAX THERE
WHEN HE NEEDS TO. CALLER SAID HE FINDS IT DISGUSTING THAT POTUS
NEVER IS THE ONE TO PLACE A WREATH AT ARLINGTON ON MEMORIAL DAY.
HAS HE EVER VISITED THE VIETNAM MEMORIAL? CALLER SAID IT JUST
SHOWED HE DIDN'T CARE.
CALLS REPORTING THE FOLLOWING:
CBS POLL IN LOS ANGELES WAS 62% PRO FOR QUAYLE
WFCA RADIO IN MISSISSIPPI WAS PRO
HOUSTON POST POLL 85% PRO.
CALL IN TO BOCA RATON, FLA. PAPER - 83%
ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS, DENVER, CO. 3-1 IN FAVOR OF QUAYLE
RUSH LIMBAUGH'S POLL - 98% TO 2% FOR QUAYLE
BRING UP THE ECONOMY. PEOPLE ARE WILING TO PAY HIGHER INTEREST
IF THEY ARE MAKING MONEY.
CALLER IS 50 YEARS OLD AND DEPENDS ON SAVING. LOW INTEREST RATE
BRINGS THE ECONOMY DOWN. WE NOW CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY THINGS.
THE MEDIA HAS CALLED QUAYLE A "BUFFOON" - HE'S SHOWN UP TO BE
BRILLIANT - MOST OF THE PUBLIC AGREES - NOW THE MEDIA IS A
"BUFFOON."
WHY DID GOD CHOOSE THE VIRGIN MARY TO BEAR CHRIST IF HE WAS
OPPOSED TO UNWED MOTHERS?
THE "SILENT MAJORITY" HAS AWAKENED AND THEY WON'T STOP NOW - GET
RID OF THE FILTH, BIAS, POLITICS AND VIOLENCE ON T.V. ALL THAT
IS HOLLYWOOD AND WE DO WITHOUT.
IF A WOMAN'S BODY HAS LITTLE WORTH ON T.V., WHY IS THERE so MUCH
FUSS OVER MEN'S ATTITUDES TOWARD WOMEN AND RESPECT FOR WOMEN?

RE:] Bush Campaign 1988 Promise Of
Presidential Photo-Opt &
Desire To Be of Continuing Speechwriting
Service in Bush Campaign 1992
Dear Mr. President:
I serve as a world-class speechwriter. In times past
both British Prime Minsiter John Major and his predecessor
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher have invited my
thoughts as to their own speechwriting programs.
I was greatly flattered by your personal letter, Mr.
President, dated 26 August, 1986
from Kennebunkport
graciously accepting my speechwriting talents for Bush
Campaign 1988. It was certainly my pleasure to rephrase
portions of 5 collegiate speeches for you in the spring
of 1987 and to submit a series of "newsbites" to Bob Teeter
in the waning days of the Campaign. In any event, Mr.
President, in appreciation of my myriad of speechwriting
inputs, Jim wray promised me in letter dated 22 December,
1987 a Photo-Opt with you. However, due to an operational
on-site gaffe by Illinois Bush Campaign personnel the
Photo-Opt was not realized as planned 28 October, 1988. I
had been personally invited to a Chicago Bush Rally 28 October,
1988 by Illinois Bush Executive Director Ed Murnane. Generally
speaking, Ms. Katherine L. Super, your Assistant for
Scheduling & Appointments is aware of this continuing oversight.
However, it would be most appreciated if you would be kind
enough to afford Ms. Super your personal note
to serve
as a reminder
for fulfillment of the 1988 Bush Campaign
promise
either on-the-road here at Illinois at an upcoming
Bush Rally or if not before with an Oval Office appointment,
if you so desire. Thank you, Mr. President. Also,
At your continuing speechwriting service again in Bush Campaign
1992, if you wish
Cordially,

Dear Mr. President:
Virginius Dabney is one of Virginia's most
distinguished citizens. He was formerly editor of
the Richmond Times-Dispatch and is an eminent
historian. He is a fine gentleman and a great
friend of lots of friends of yours. V is 91 years
old.
The Virginia Historical Society is having a
dinner to honor him on June 12. At this dinner the
Trustees of the Society plan to present him a book
of letters of appreciation and admiration from
friends and admirers across the country. It would
be a great thing if there could be a letter from
you included on this occasion. If you will send
the letter to me, I will see that it is delivered
to the Virginia Historical Society. It would be
helpful if your letter could reach us by June 10.
I attach a Xerox of his write-up in Who's Who
for your information.
Many thanks.
Sincerely,
FitzGerald Gerry Bemiss

White House News Summary
Thursday, May 14, 1992
1:30 P.M. NEWS UPDATE
OWL/LOGGING (AP) -- An administration panel voted to override the
Endangered Species Act and permit logging on 1,700 acres of Oregon
forests critical to the threatened northern spotted owl. On a 5-
2. vote, the Endangered Species Committee agreed to exempt federal
logging from the act in an effort to postpone the loss of Northwest
timber jobs.
BUSINESS SALES (AP) -- Business sales increased 0.5% in March, the
third straight gain, while inventories rose 0.4% for the first time
in two months, the government said. Analysts were uncertain
whether the inventory buildup was voluntary or involuntary; if
voluntary, it could reflect optimism that was prompting businesses
to replenish their shelves.
CONGRESSIONAL PAY (AP) -- Speaker Foley said he considers an
amendment limiting Congress' ability to raise its. play a formal
part of the Constitution. Foley said he expects no move on Capitol
Hill to challenge the amendment.
URBAN PLAN/KEMP (AP) -- Secretary Kemp, urging passage of President
Bush's urban package, said the Los Angeles rioting was "a cry for
help" form inner-city residents trapped in poverty. But a Senate
Democrat expressed doubt that the administration plan would restore
hope to the poor. Sen. Wofford said he had doubts that Kemp's
plans for enterprize zones and promoting home ownership among
public housing tenants would be sufficient to restore hope to poor
neighborhoods. Jesse Jackson told the panel in prepared testimony
that the administration's enterprise zones "do not address the root
causes of urban decay and despair."
BOSNIA (Sarajevo/AP) -- Serb attackers and Muslim defenders fought
a fierce artillery duel in Sarajevo. Defense officials said
virtually the whole city came under bombardment, and at least three
people were reported killed. The fighting ebbed by afternoon.
Gen. Philippe Morillon of France said that there was no sign of a
ceasefire that was supposed to take effect by midafternoon.
MIDEAST TALKS (Ottawa/Reuter) -- The U.S. and Canada tried to steer
discussion at the conference on Mideast refugees away from the
explosive issue of the Palestinian "right of return." Diplomatic
sources said U.S. and Canadian officials were working hard behind
the scenes to tone down the rhetoric and focus the debate on small,
concrete steps that could be taken to alleviate the plight of some
2.5 million Palestinian refugees.
PRESIDENT'S ASSETS (Christopher Connell, AP) -- The assets in
President Bush's blind trust rose by $55,000 last year to almost
$1.3 million, and Bush and his wife received $21,329 in gifts, the
White House said.
ABORTION (Reuter) -- Most Americans believe abortion should remain
legal and more than half say the abortion issue will not determine
how they vote, according to a survey released today. The survey
by Parade magazine of 2,538 people found 71% want to keep abortion
legal.

Mr. President,
Greetings Sir! I hope this short note finds
you, Mrs. Bush and the rest of your family in the
best of health. Enclosed is an invitation to my
upcoming Change of Command. I fully understand
your schedule wont allow your attendance
so
I'll just use it as an excuse to update you on how
things are going for me and my family here in San
Diego.
I have had an absolutely outstanding command
tour! My F-14 squadron has won many awards
(including the Battle "E") to go along with their
combat performance during Operation Desert Storm
which was second to none. We also were nominated
to receive the Admiral Joseph C. Clifton award
(isn't he a contemporary of yours ?) as the best
fighter squadron in the Navy. My future assignment
is unknown
hopefully it will include selection
for the Navy Nuclear Power School which eventually
leads to command of a Nuclear Powered Aircraft
Carrier. My fingers are crossed!
I believe you'll be getting a new Naval Aide
soon. His name is George Dom, an F-18 pilot and
former Topgun instructor. He's one of Naval
Aviations bright superstars of the future! I'm
sure you'll be very happy with him.
and Mrs. Bush the very best in the challenging
My wife Kim and I join together in wishing you
ahead. Give the Democrats "hell" in
years November! I just can't picture a "draft dodger" as
my next Commander-in-Chief.
Warmest Regards
and
Very Respectfully

Subject:
Hot Key Capability within Quorum
I understand that you have expressed an interest in the status of gaining a
reliable hot key capability within Quorum, particularly for the President's
Personal Correspondence Unit.
A meeting was held in my office on Monday, April 27 with representatives of
IRMD and Intelligent Solutions, and this issue was discussed at some length.
First of all, the original requirements placed on the contractor called for the
ability to access mainframe applications (CTRK, PCON, PRIV) from the
Quorum menus. This capability has always been a part of the system. The
problem arises when you go from the mainframe screen back into Quorum.
Since the computer is unable to keep two different sessions active, the
mainframe connection is broken and the users have to reenter their password
in order to return to their mainframe application. This is not a problem for
the majority of users since they work primarily in Quorum and only
occasionally go into PCON to look up a name and/or address and return to
Quorum to write their letters. In President's Personal Mail, in Gifts, and to
a lesser extent, in Mail Analysis, it is a problem because their work requires
them to constantly move between the two applications. In the case of Gifts,
the planned incorporation of the gift accounting system into Quorum will
eliminate the need for that office to move as frequently between two
applications.
Intelligent Solutions, the contractor for Quorum, has devoted in excess of 150
manhours to resolving this problem since it was first brought to our attention
by Courtney Palm. They have found a solution. The solution will do what
we ask, but it requires the user to be very accurate in what he or she types.
If they hit an incorrect key, they will lock up their system. Therefore, I have
recommended against implementing it because I feel that the fix would cause
more problems than it would correct.
The contractor has told us that they believe that with the help of IBM, a fix
can be written that will be both effective and safe. An estimate of the cost is
between $4,000 and $8,000. According to Intelligent Solutions, paying to
have the necessary programming work done to make the hot key safe would
also benefit us if we decide at a future date to add other applications to the
base system.
In conclusion, they have given it their best shot. If we're going to have a
reliable hot key capability, then we are going to have spend the extra money.

Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President:
We commend you for visiting Los Angeles last week. The
presence and concern of the President are important to Americans
in a time of crisis.
The events in Los Angeles have focused national attention on
the serious economic and social problems in urban areas.
The conditions present in Los Angeles exist in most of our
nation's urban areas. They present a challenge to our society.
That requires an immediate response to the situation in Los
Angeles and a longer term strategy that addresses the fundamental
problems in many of our cities.
The creation of jobs, and the opportunity and hope that come
with a job, are vital to the recovery of Los Angeles and the
renewal of our urban areas. The personal safety of residents of
urban areas is crucial to the rejuvenation and vibrancy of
neighborhoods.
We know that we and you disagree on some aspects of this
matter.
Americans undoubtedly also have different perspectives on
the best approaches to these problems. But on one thing we can
all agree: No one benefits if differences of opinion paralyze
our society's response.
We therefore propose the following actions and invite you to
join with us in gaining their enactment.
The President
May 11, 1992

- You have publicly committed $600 million in assistance to
those hurt by this disaster, through the Small Business
Administration (SBA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA). We support your proposal. But, as you know, without
supplemental funding, neither the SBA nor FEMA will have enough
money to pay for disasters already declared and also help the
people of Los Angeles. We ask that you join us in supporting
greatly needed funding for SBA and FEMA, as well as for a summer
youth jobs program under the Job Training Partnership Act.
- We agree that arson, looting and destruction damage the
community as surely as any of the underlying causes of urban
unrest. The conference report on the crime control bill has been
approved in the House and awaits only Senate passage and your
signature to become law.
It includes valuable provisions for community-based
policing, state and local law enforcement assistance, a provision
that will begin to control the proliferating urban arms race that
threatens our police, and a range of higher federal penalties for
drug-related offenses as well as for capital offenses, including
the death penalty. It has the endorsement of every major police
organization in the country. Its enactment can send a valuable
and immediate signal to all the people of our cities and suburbs
that the personal security of law-abiding citizens and the
protection of private property are a central element of economic
revival in urban areas.
- We propose that several provisions of the tax measure
which Congress passed and you vetoed in March, be considered
again and enacted. These are (1) the creation of urban
enterprise zones; and (2) the extension of several expiring tax
programs which utilize the private sector to help create jobs,
provide better housing, and encourage investments in economically
disadvantaged areas.
- The bill providing 13 additional weeks of unemployment
insurance that we worked out together in February expires on June
13th. We should ensure that unemployment compensation is
available for those who are unemployed. Only 40 percent of the
jobless qualify for compensation today. When less than 50 percent
of jobless workers in a recession qualify for unemployment
benefits, the system is not working as intended. We ask you to
join us in extending and fixing the unemployment compensation
system.
The President
May 11, 1992

- People need jobs. The Surface Transportation Act of 1991
provided the largest public works authorization in our history.
Nearly all of the required money is in a Trust Fund. States have
indicated that they could use another $1 billion on approved
projects this year. States will be able to spend the full $25.7
billion authorized for the next fiscal year. We urge you to
revise your FY 1993 budget request to provide for the full
authorization. This would increase available funds by $3.6
billion.
- In addition, the Housing Reauthorization bill now pending
in Congress, including the Community Development Block Grant, and
the Head Start Summer Program, will create jobs and empower urban
residents by providing increased affordable housing and expanding
local community development activities.
We can improve on this beginning, first, with consultation,
among Members of the Congressional Black Caucus, community
leaders in Los Angeles and other affected urban areas; and,
second, by recognizing that other long-term measures, now stalled
because of politics or paralysis, must be broken free and moved
to the front of the nation's agenda. Specifically, we refer to
the need for cooperation between the Executive Branch and
Congress on behalf of broad-based economic growth that will
provide jobs, opportunity and justice for all Americans. It has
often been said, and we would do well to remember today, that a
good job is the best social program for everyone in our society.
These measures, by themselves, will not solve all the
problems. Much more will be needed. But we believe they
represent an important start.
Without order, there cannot be the stable communities that
nurture stable families. The foundation for personal
responsibility is formed only within a stable family structure.
There is a broad core of agreement between us on which we can
build, and we write you in the same spirit you expressed in a
news conference before leaving to visit Los Angeles.
You told Americans then that the challenge is not one of
assigning blame, but whether we, as a country, have done enough
for those left behind. You said you were not satisfied that we
had. We share these sentiments.
The President
May 11, 1992

Americans need to know that their President and Congress,
whatever their differences, can work together to meet urgent
national needs. We want to do SO. We believe we can. We
believe incentives for economic growth and restoration; the
urgent need to combat crime and random violence; and a deeper
commitment by government, business, and individuals to
constructive, supportive family policy; all these constitute a
common ground.
We invite you to join us in moving expeditiously in a
bipartisan fashion on these important initiatives.
Sincerely,

Dear President Bush:
Enclosed is a manuscript which Villard Books (a division
of Random House) is publishing in September. You may have already
read a excerpt of it in Newsweek (the April 13 issue).
I don't think this book will necessarily make you happy--it is
not the most positive view of the government I've ever read. On
the other hand, I think this book should be required reading for
any intelligent citizen who is concerned about our economy and the
way it's going. I will go so far as to say it should be required
reading for the President of the United States. As you may gather
from the title, this is a book about "pork"--why it happens, how it
happens, and to whom it should be attributed.
We are sending advance copies to several influential
Americans. I believe the reaction will range from total support to
total outrage. Obviously, we are not looking for a quote or "plug"
from the President. We are sending this because it's an important
book coming out at a critical time.
Best,

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
April 29, 1992
FACT SHEET ON THE PRESIDENT'S REGULATORY REFORM INITIATIVE
In a Rose Garden speech, the President today gave a report
on the regulatory reform initiative he launched in his State of
the Union address. He also outlined several additional steps to
reduce the regulatory burdens that are ultimately borne by every
American consumer and worker.
The President observed that excessive and misguided
regulatory requirements "impose hidden taxes and costs on
society" and often have unintended, pernicious consequences. For
example, when Congress tries to legislate the fuel efficiency of
our cars, "highway fatalities can increase and American auto
workers can lose jobs."
Three months ago, the President took decisive action to
reduce these hidden taxes. He asked the major federal regulatory
agencies to set aside a 90-day period to evaluate existing
regulations and programs and to accelerate initiatives that will
create jobs and economic growth. He also imposed a moratorium on
new regulations that could unnecessarily hamper economic growth.
As described in detail below, the President's reform
initiative, under the guidance of the Council on Competitiveness,
has already produced a substantial reduction in the burden of
federal regulation. As shown in the attached table, the
Administration's best estimate is that the reforms it has
completed or set in motion since January 28 will ultimately save
American consumers and workers roughly $15 to $20 billion per
year (although the savings could be as high as $22 billion or as
low as $10 billion). That amounts to between $225 and $300 per
year for the average American family. These actions will also
increase the amount of available credit by approximately $15
billion, making home ownership more affordable and providing the
creation. financing necessary for further business expansion and job
As the President emphasized, this is "just a down payment on
savings to come."
1. Additional Steps Announced By The President To Reduce
Regulatory Burdens. To ensure that the entire federal government
continues to give highest priority to regulatory reform, the
President took the following steps:
Expedited Timetable For Implementing Additional Reforms.
During the 90-day review, Federal regulators identified
hundreds of rules to be modified or repealed in the near
future. The President announced that he has asked
regulatory agencies to implement these and other reforms
identified during the review period on an expedited
schedule.
-- Specifically, the President asked that actions not
requiring additional public comment be completed by
August 1, 1992, and that, wherever possible, actions
requiring public comment be finalized by September 1,
1992.
-- Each agency will submit an updated report on these
activities to the President on September 1, 1992.
Extension Of The Regulatory Moratorium. The President also
announced that, in order to ensure that adequate resources
continue to be devoted to the regulatory reform initiative,
the moratorium will be extended by 120 days. He again
emphasized that the moratorium does not cover regulations
needed to protect against imminent threats to human health
or safety. He also requested that all federal agencies
prepare a thorough cost-benefit analysis of each major rule
issued during the moratorium period.
Better Cost-Benefit Analysis Of Legislative Proposals.
Finally, the President directed federal agencies to estimate
the likely costs and benefits of legislative proposals under
active consideration by Congress or to be proposed by the
agency. The Office of Management and Budget, in
consultation with the Council of Economic Advisors, will
provide technical guidance on the preparation of these
estimates.
2. Impact Of The President's Initiative Thus Far.
Discussing the success of the 90-day review, the President noted
that every agency asked to participate in the initiative has
already taken concrete steps to reduce regulatory impediments to
economic growth. Indeed, federal agencies took more than 200
separate actions. Following are some of the most significant
reforms completed or initiated during the 90-day review:
O
Accelerating Approval Of New Drugs. The FDA recently
announced important reforms that will reduce by as much as
four years the overall time it takes to develop breakthrough
drugs. These actions, which are the culmination of efforts
begun by then-Vice President Bush's Task Force on Regulatory
Relief, will ultimately save millions of lives as well as
billions of dollars.
- 2 -
-- As a result of these reforms, patients will have
earlier access to drugs to treat diseases such as
cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, depression, and
cystic fibrosis.
-- Under a pilot program, these reforms made it possible
for the AIDS drug DDI to receive FDA approval in only
six months.
Protecting Workers' Rights. The President signed an
Executive order requiring Federal contractors to inform
employees of their rights under the Supreme Court's Beck
decision.
-- This action will help ensure that nonunion employees
are not forced, through mandatory union dues, to
support political causes with which they disagree.
Between two and three million of the 19 million workers
represented by unions are not union members, but must
pay compulsory fees.
-- An employee who elects to exercise his or her Beck
rights would receive a refund of approximately $400 per
year. This annual refund amounts to about a week's
wages for workers represented by unions.
Reducing Regulatory Burdens On Biotechnology. The U.S. is
the world leader in high-tech biotechnology -- the use of
biological processes to make products with living organisms.
Until recently, this innovative new technology was singled
out for increased regulatory oversight, despite a scientific
consensus that it poses no inherent risk.
-- Under a new policy developed by the President's Council
on Competitiveness, federal regulators will exercise
oversight only when a specific product poses an
unreasonable risk.
-- With the help of this new policy, the U.S.
biotechnology industry is expected to grow from a $4
billion to a $50 billion a year industry by the year
2000, providing innovative products for American
consumers and new jobs for thousands of American
workers.
Reducing Food Prices. Labeling costs are part of the price
of foods all Americans buy. To reduce these costs and
provide needed flexibility, the Department of Agriculture
will implement an exemption from labelling requirements for
small businesses. To ease the transition to new labeling
standards, the USDA is also extending the implementation
period for another year.
- 3 -
Reducing Financing Costs. Financing costs are a significant
part of the price of almost all goods and services. The
Administration has taken several actions to reduce these
costs.
-- The Office of Thrift Supervision issued a rule
permitting nationwide branching by the Nation's 2,000-
plus savings associations. This change will foster
safe, sound operations and will result in savings to
borrowers and lenders of up to $1.5 billion dollars
annually. For a typical family taking out a $100,000
30-year loan on a new home, for example, these changes
could translate into a $180 reduction in annual
mortgage payments.
-- The four Federal agencies that regulate banks and
thrifts -- the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Comptroller of the
Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision -- have
agreed to apply uniform policies and procedures in
supervising banks and thrifts. This change, which
builds on proposals made by the Task Force on
Regulatory Relief in 1985, will eliminate unnecessary
compliance costs incurred by financial services
institutions.
-- By clarifying that lenders are ordinarily not liable
for environmental damage done by their borrowers, EPA
removed a significant barrier to lending that will
increase credit availability.
Helping Small Businesses Raise Capital. Small businesses
account for more than two-thirds of new jobs. The
Securities and Exchange Commission has taken a number of
actions to eliminate barriers to investment in small
businesses, thereby facilitating business expansion and
increased employment.
-- The SEC issued a proposed regulation to increase from
$500,000 to $1 million the amount that a small business
can raise through stock offerings without registering
with federal authorities.
-- Also, the SEC has made it possible for thousands of
small businesses to use streamlined registration forms.
If used by one-quarter of eligible businesses, up to
$18 billion could be raised in initial public offerings
under one of these new forms. Such businesses could
thereby save more than $180 million on legal and
accounting fees.
- 4 -
-- The SEC has also published an interpretation that would
allow mutual funds to invest a greater percentage of
their assets in the securities of small businesses,
further increasing the capital available to this
dynamic part of our economy.
Reducing Transportation Costs.
-- Shipping costs for consumer goods account for about 8
percent of the average family's budget. To reduce
these costs, and to eliminate unnecessary regulatory
burdens of some 52,000 small trucking companies, the
Interstate Commerce Commission initiated a proceeding
to abolish a regulation requiring motor carriers to
keep a unique set of "regulatory" accounting books in
addition to standard financial and tax records. The
ICC also initiated a proceeding to spare motor carriers
from having to obtain a registration stamp for each of
their vehicles from each state in which they operate.
-- To reduce air travel costs, the Department of
Transportation has implemented its "open skies" policy,
which provides open access to U.S. markets for all
European countries willing to permit U.S. air carriers
free access to their markets. Increased competition
will lead to lower fares and increased spending in the
U.S. by foreign visitors.
Implementing The National Energy Strategy. The Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission has taken several steps to
achieve important objectives of the National Energy
Strategy.
-- It adopted a major natural gas pipeline restructuring
rule that will promote competition in the gas industry
and increase the use of this clean fuel. The FERC's
reforms in the natural gas pipeline industry will
eventually reduce utility bills for the 50 million
households that heat with natural gas.
-- It issued a proposal to allow "incentive regulation"
for interstate natural gas pipelines, oil pipelines and
electric utilities. This new policy will give these
companies a greater incentive to innovate and to
economize on operating costs.
-- It has also issued a proposed rule removing regulatory
barriers to the sale of natural gas as a fuel for use
in motor vehicles.
- 5 -
Meeting Environmental Goals In A Cost-Effective Manner.
--
The Administration has developed several innovative,
market-based approaches to reduce the costs of meeting
the Clean Air Act's stringent standards. One such
initiative, known as "Cash for Clunkers," will help
businesses meet the tough standards of the Act by
giving them emission reduction credits if they take
older, high-polluting automobiles off the road.
--
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has
contributed to these efforts by implementing expedited
procedures for approving new futures contracts. One of
the first contracts approved under these new procedures
was a futures contract in sulfur dioxide allowances.
This new investment vehicle will significantly reduce
the costs to utilities of complying with Clean Air Act
standards, thereby ultimately reducing consumers'
utility bills.
Creating More Competitive Communications Markets.
-- The Federal Communications Commission took steps to
allow competition among international communications
satellite systems. Its actions will lead to lower
prices for the more than one billion phone calls made
each year between the U.S. and other countries.
--
In an effort to strengthen the rapidly changing
broadcast business, the FCC increased from 12 to 30 the
maximum number of FM and AM radio stations that can be
owned by a single owner, and for the first time will
allow ownership of more than one AM or FM station in a
market.
Clarifying Antitrust Guidelines. The Department of Justice
and the Federal Trade Commission announced a unified
antitrust enforcement policy for the more than 1000 mergers
and acquisitions reviewed by these two agencies each year.
-- Where stiff international competition already exists,
the new guidelines will make it easier for American
companies to achieve the economic clout they need to
compete effectively in the global marketplace.
-- A common policy will provide greater certainty about
the standards to be applied in enforcing the antitrust
laws, as well as a more reasoned analysis of the
competitive effects of mergers.
- 6 -
O
Reducing Barriers to Exports of American Goods. The
Department of Commerce has eased a variety of outdated
export regulations that limited the ability of American
businesses to export goods such as computers and
semiconductors. These actions will eliminate licensing
requirements for 2000 to 3000 transactions annually, thereby
facilitating some $2 to $3 billion of exports.

WASHINGTON
Dear :
It gives me great pleasure to extend a personal invitation
to join Barbara and me for the 1992 President's Dinner on
April 21st, here in Washington, D.C.
Together, we will join with Vice President and Mrs. Quayle,
Republican dignitaries, and key supporters, like you, to
raise the funds necessary to elect more Republicans to the
U.S. House of Representatives and to the United States Senate.
With America facing increased challenges at home and building
on new opportunities abroad, it is imperative that we take this
action now! As a Nation, we can no longer afford a divided
government which produces more conflict than cooperation.
During the past year, our victory in the Gulf and our victories
at home have enabled us to rediscover that as individuals and
as a Nation, we belong to a great and fortunate family, with
shared values, commitments, and beliefs.
I hope I can count on your active participation in making the
1992 President's Dinner an overwhelming success.
Barbara and I look forward to seeing you on April 21st.
sincerely,
GoBl

Dear Mr. President:
The valiant and unselfish members of "Hermanos Al Rescate"
(Brothers to the Rescue) kindly ask your help in obtaining three
surplus Cessna FAC/O-2 aircraft which they desperately need in
order to continue their humanitarian trips which have resulted in
the saving of many lives.
This non-profit group is made up of volunteers who daily
patrol the waters in their airplanes seeking to save the lives of
those who have escaped Fidel Castro's tyranny in search of
freedom and democracy in the United States.
The members of "Brothers to the Rescue" work with the United
States Coast Guard in finding the location of those distressed
vessels. Since the beginning of their operation on May 15, 1991,
they have been on several hundred rescue missions and have saved
the lives of hundreds of people.
However, they work as volunteers and all of their equipment
is donated, which means that the aircraft used are not very
efficient or well stocked or even in good working condition.
It is for this reason that they ask your help in getting the
use of three aircraft model Cessna FAC/O-2 which the United
States Air Force has, but are not presently being used. These
planes are perfectly suited for these rescue operations.
Please do all that you can to help "Hermanos al Rescate"
continue with its humanitarian mission.
Sincerely,
Ileana Ros Lehtinen

Mr. George Bush
President of the United States of America
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. President:
We are a young, non-profit humanitarian organization seeking your help. Our
members are volunteer pilots from several national origins which include:
Argentinians, Venezuelans, Chileans, Nicaraguans, Cubans, and native Americans.
Our objective is to save the lives of those who escape Cuba in rafts and other
floating devices thru the Straits of Florida, while seeking freedom in the
United States.
We regularly patrol the waters between Cuba and the Florida Keys and report
to the U.S. Coast Guard the location of any vessel in distress we find for
its immediate rescue. Academic sources that have studied this form of exodus
from Cuba, estimate its cost in lives, as one success for every four attempts.
Brothers to the Rescue began operations on May 15, 1991. On December 31, 1991,
only seven and a half months later, it had conducted, with the support of the
local community in Miami, 204 search missions, and it had reported to the U.S.
Coast Guard, the location of 28 individual rafts/vessels in distress for a total
of 159 human lives saved. as its direct result. During operations, our pilots
also sighted 18 empty rafts/vessels for which we remained the witnesses of a
great human tragedy.
We believe that you, as a pilot who knows the meaning of a rescue at sea, can
appreciate, better that anyone else in the U.S. government, the importance of
our effort. We need your help to tell my compatriots in Cuba that we both care.
Our problem is the lack of adequate equipment to realize our work. We are
flying high risk, low efficiency airplanes. Some have a short range, some are
single engine, some are poorly equipped and/or maintained rental aircraft, which
make our missions sometimes inefficient and others outright dangerours. I dread
the thought of loosing anyone of my pilots.
We are requesting from you to allow us the use of three aircraft model Cessna
FAC/0-2 which are kept mothballed by the U.S. Air Force since the Vietnam War.
These aircraft were used for reconnaissance purposes and are particularly
suited for our operations. Our pilots are very familiar with them.
Please, Mr. President, hear the plea of our rafters for whom "Brothers to the
Rescue" sometimes is their only hope.
Sincerely,

Washington, D.C. 20500
My dear Mr. President:
When you spoke to Leadership Forum II (sponsored by the President's
Drug Advisory Council) in January, the 750 enthusiastic coalition
leaders who greeted you helped you to sense the growing
significance of community anti-drug coalitions as a vital force as
our nation mobilizes to reduce the use of illegal drugs.
As the President's Drug Advisory Council recommended to you in
January, 1991 at the meeting which you and I and Bill Moss had in
the Oval Office, the next step in the expansion of community anti-
drug coalitions is to form a new private-sector organization to
provide overall national leadership for this vital activity.
The name of the new organization is Community Anti-Drug Coalitions
of America (CADCA). And I am chairing the Steering Committee of 18
committed Americans whose target is to bring this organization into
being by October 1, 1992.
It is to be privately financed and to this point we have already
raised 42% of our first three-year budget.
A draft of the CADCA Mission Statement is enclosed.
For CADCA to have the success that our nation needs and to which
you and I aspire, it is vital that you become the honorary
1)
chairman.
Your assuming this role will ensure that CADCA will fill its
envisioned leadership role. Our nation will be well served by this
act.
I will be pleased to provide further information should any of your
staff officers so desire.
Sincerely,
all

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
April 28, 1992
FACT SHEET ON CAPITAL MARKET REGULATION REFORMS
In response to the President's regulatory review initiative,
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) today announced numerous
regulatory changes designed to eliminate unnecessary regulatory
burdens, reduce costs, and thereby to permit the Nation's capital
markets to function more vigorously and efficiently.
Vigorous capital markets are essential for business
expansion and job creation. Indeed, capital markets are the
principal funding mechanism for the operation and growth of U.S.
businesses. This is reflected in the fact that the value of all
securities traded in U.S. capital markets -- including stocks,
bonds, and commercial paper -- approaches $12 trillion. In 1991,
a record $700 billion of new public and private financing
occurred in the U.S. capital markets.
The reforms announced today fall into four general
categories: (1) reforms that will expand choices for investors;
(2) reforms that will streamline reporting and disclosure
requirements, thereby making it easier for businesses to raise
additional capital for expansion and job creation; (3) reforms
that will increase capital available to small businesses; and (4)
reforms that will make capital markets operate more efficiently.
These reforms, some of which must be approved by the full SEC or
CFTC, will achieve these goals without impairing the fundamental
goals of investor protection and confidence that have made U.S.
capital markets the best in the world.
1. Expanding Choices for Investors. The SEC and the CFTC are
taking numerous actions to expand the range of choices available
to investors, particularly small investors.
O
Streamlined Regulation of Mutual Funds and Other Investment
Companies. Registered investment companies, including
mutual funds, represent the third largest sector of the U.S.
financial system. They manage approximately $1.5 trillion
in assets. Mutual funds alone had more than 68 million
investors at the end of 1991. The SEC's reform program will
include the following steps to streamline and modernize the
existing regulatory system:
-- Remove Constraints on Asset-Backed Financing. The
SEC's reform program will include new rules to exempt
certain types of asset-backed securities from
registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
By expanding the types of assets (auto loan
receivables, for example) that can be "securitized"
without registration, the SEC's new rules will
facilitate the creation of new, lower-cost methods of
raising capital. The rules will also create new
options for investors.
-- Creating New Types of Investment Companies. The 1940
Act currently requires all "open end" mutual funds to
offer redemption of shares every day. This makes it
practically impossible for funds to invest in less
liquid assets, such as the shares of start-up
companies. To correct this problem, one SEC reform
would permit development of a new type of investment
company whose shares would be redeemable on a monthly,
quarterly or semi-annual basis rather than daily.
Expanding Choices for Participants in Futures Markets. The
CFTC is taking two important steps to expand choices for
participants in futures markets:
-- Lifting the Ban on Trade Options. The CFTC has issued
a proposed rule that would facilitate the offering of
"trade options" -- i.e., options sold in the course of
a commercial trading relationship rather than as
investments. The proposed rule would not only expand
investor choice, but also would permit agricultural
concerns to obtain options that are tailored to their
specific risk-shifting requirements.
-- Expanding the Availability of Foreign Option Products.
Another proposed rule change would permit U.S. futures
firms to engage in transactions in most foreign option
contracts on behalf of customers outside the U.S.
2. Simplifying Reporting and Disclosure Requirements. The
reforms announced today include numerous steps to simplify
disclosure and reporting requirements. These steps will not only
make it easier for investors to understand disclosure documents,
but also will make it easier for businesses to raise capital for
expansion.
O
Increased Use of "Shelf" Registration. In the 1980s, the
SEC adopted a system for "shelf registration" of securities.
Under this system, securities can be registered for delayed
offering, thereby eliminating the need for further SEC
review. This provides issuers greater flexibility in the
timing, size, and manner of distributions, and reduces
- 2 -
costs. The SEC's reform program will include actions to
expand the availability of shelf registration for all types
of investment-grade, asset-backed securities. If such a
rule change had been in effect in 1991, approximately $48
billion of registered asset-backed securities could have
been registered under these shelf-registration procedures.
Wider Availability of Rule 144A. SEC Rule 144A provides a
"safe harbor" from registration requirements for resales of
privately placed securities by large, sophisticated
investors. The SEC's reform program will make it easier for
institutional buyers such as insurance companies and pension
funds to avail themselves of this safe harbor. This will
increase the volume of securities sold in unregistered
offerings, thereby reduce regulatory costs borne by issuers,
intermediaries and investors.
Expanded Use of Simplified Registration. The SEC reform
program will also include changes to enable an estimated 400
additional issuers, with an aggregate market capitalization
of more than $35 billion, to use Form S-3, a simplified
registration form. This change will reduce by one-half the
length of the prospectuses required to offer common stock
and other securities for many of these issuers, resulting in
significant cost savings.
O
Streamlined Requirements for Insider Reporting. The SEC's
program will include steps to streamline reporting by a
public company's officers, directors and significant
shareholders of transactions in the company's securities.
These steps will include action to address cash-only
employee benefit plans and other broad-based employee
benefit plans.
O
Simplifying Broker-Dealer Registration and Reporting
Requirements. The SEC's program will finalize amendments to
the basic registration form for broker-dealers to clarify
and simplify disclosure requirements. The agency is also
working with state regulators to develop a one-stop filing
system for state and federal registration of broker-dealers.
Simplifying Disclosure for Commodity Pool Operators. The
CFTC, in coordination with other regulators, has developed a
simplified disclosure document format to be used by
operators of "commodity pools" -- i.e., investment vehicles
in which investor funds are pooled to purchase interests in
commodities. This change will enable pool operators to
provide simplified disclosure to investors and to provide
more detailed data only upon request.
-- - 3 -
Relieving Reporting Burdens on Commodity Pool Operators and
Trading Advisors. The CFTC has issued a proposed regulation
to exempt commodity pool operators from most of the
disclosure, reporting and recordkeepng requirements for
pools offered or sold to sophisticated investors in private
offerings. This change will reduce -- possibly by up to 90%
-- the costs of offering commodity fund participations to
institutional and other sophisticated investors.
Expediting Registration of Commodities Brokers. The CFTC is
working with the National Futures Association (NFA) to
expedite a "direct entry" broker registration process now
being tested in a pilot program. This program permits
commodities brokers to enter required information directly
into the NFA's computer system, thereby reducing delay and
paperwork.
Eliminating Unnecessary Reports. The CFTC has issued
proposed rules to reduce the volume of "large trader" and
customer identification reports submitted by futures firms.
3.
Increasing Capital Available To Small Businesses. In
addition to the measures described above, the SEC is taking the
following actions to increase access to capital by small
businesses.
O
Amendments to Regulation A Offerings. Regulation A
offerings of securities are less costly than registered
offerings, and do not cause an issuer to incur periodic
reporting obligations under the 1934 Securities Exchange
Act. The SEC recently issued for public comment proposed
revisions to permit more issuers to expand the availability
of Regulation A offerings by increasing the annual dollar
limit from $1.5 million to $5 million. It has also proposed
a rule permitting the use of a simple question-and-answer
format for the offering circular. Finally, the SEC has
proposed to allow companies for the first time to "test the
waters" for investor interest before incurring the expense
of preparing offering documents. These changes will make it
easier for small businesses to raise greater amounts of
capital without incurring substantial legal and accounting
expenses.
Small Debt Offerings. The SEC recently issued proposed
rules that will expand exemptions to costly requirements for
the issuance of corporate debt securities. The SEC's
proposed amendments would exempt debt offerings, up to
certain limits, from compliance with the Trust Indenture
Act.
- 4 -
Seed Capital Offerings. The SEC recently issued proposed
rule amendments to permit companies to receive up to $1
million annually from the public without regulatory
conditions.
o
Simplified Disclosure System for Small Businesses. The SEC
has recently proposed simplified "junior" disclosure forms
that can be used by small businesses to comply with
securities registration and continuous reporting
requirements.
Investments by Mutual Funds in Small Businesses. The SEC
has recently taken two other steps to facilitate investment
by mutual funds and other investment companies in small
businesses. First, it has issued proposed rules to increase
the dollar amount of securities that may be raised without
registration by certain types of investment companies that
specialize in small business investing. Second, it has
published a release that allows mutual funds to increase the
percentage of their assets that may be invested in the
illiquid securities of small businesses.
4. Making Securities and Commodities Markets Operate More
Efficiently. The SEC and the CFTC announced the following
reforms to streamline the rules that govern the operation of U.S.
capital trading markets. These changes will help make U.S.
exchanges and other trading markets more efficient, as well as
more competitive with their foreign counterparts.
O
Cross-margining for Option and Futures Positions. The SEC
and the CFTC have recently approved rule proposals to reduce
the margin requirements for transactions in which investors
take positions in the securities and futures markets
simultaneously. These rules will substantially reduce the
margin deposits that investors must make on these
transactions, thereby freeing up capital for alternative
uses.
Streamlining Trading Practice Rules. The SEC's reform
program will also streamline trading rules that apply to the
distribution of securities. This includes amendments to
codify and clarify the scope of SEC Rules 10b-6, 10b-7, and
10b-8, thereby providing greater certainty and reduced
offering costs.
O
Eliminating "Low-Volume" Reports. The CFTC will eliminate a
report that requires futures exchanges to prepare and submit
low-volume futures reports.

Recently we received thirty booklets entitled "The White House."
Again, the students and teachers were thrilled! However, our only
disappointment was that we needed fifty-one booklets to accommodate
all the first grades. If you could send the additional twenty-one
booklets needed, it would be sincerely appreciated by all.

In honor of National Volunteer Week, the President today
recognized the volunteers of the Youth and Elderly Against Crime
Project of Miami, Florida, as the 756th Daily Point of Light for
the Nation. These teenagers and senior citizens are joining
forces to make Dade County a decent, drug free, and safe place to
live.
Now in its second year, the Youth and Elderly Against Crime
Project is a partnership of several organizations, including the
Dade County Public Schools, Jewish Family Service of Greater
Miami, the City of Miami Police Department, and the Metropolitan
Dade County Police Department. Students team up with senior
citizens and local police to protect the city's elderly community
from violence and other crime. Originally, the project linked
residents of housing projects to teenagers from the three Miami
high schools which had the highest rates of nearby crime. In
their social studies and criminal justice classes, students
surveyed the seniors in the designated projects and centers and
found that drug-related violence and heightened racial tensions
had made them virtual prisoners in their own homes.
Youth and Elderly Against Crime has since expanded to include
students from seven high schools and two middle schools. By
working together in teams of five to six students and one senior
citizen mentor, intergenerational groups learn to respect each
other's concerns and to protect themselves from crime. Groups
meet at least once each week. Police officers teach them about
safety and crime prevention so that the groups, in turn, can give
presentations to their senior neighbors. Teen and senior
volunteers from the Youth and Elderly Against Crime Project are
reclaiming their neighborhoods and forming strong friendships
that cross generational and ethnic lines.
The President salutes the volunteers of the Youth and Elderly
Against Crime Project for exemplifying his belief that, "From now
on in America, any definition of a successful life must include
serving others."

In honor of National Volunteer Week and Youth Service Day, the
President today recognized Jeff Gower as the 757th Daily Point of
Light for the Nation. Mr. Gower, a senior at Union College in
Schenectady, New York, works to provide low-income people in his
community with a decent place to live.
Mr. Gower, originally from Lexington, Massachusetts, began
refurbishing low-income homes through a Habitat for Humanity
program with his church's youth group while he was in high
school. After matriculating at Union College, he saw the need
for a similar program that could mobilize students. With the
support of school administrators, city officials, and fellow
students, he founded "We Care About U - - Schenectady." This group
repairs homes owned by Better Neighborhoods, Inc. (BNI), a local
non-profit housing rehabilitation corporation.
Mr. Gower, 22, has attended nearly 40 Saturday work days since
the program started in January of 1991. Serving as the group's
president, he volunteers as many as twenty hours per week in
addition to being a full-time student. He helps gut, frame,
insulate, sheet rock, and trim the interiors of homes being
refurbished. As a civil engineering major, with an emphasis on
structural engineering and construction management, he has also
trained other volunteers who have no construction background.
Mr. Gower and nearly 80 other volunteers contributed over $7,000
worth of labor costs on the first house they constructed. BNI
donates the building materials and Union College provides other
needed supplies, such as power tools and lunches.
The President salutes Jeff Gower for exemplifying his belief
that, "From now on in America, any definition of a successful
life must include serving others."

In honor of National Volunteer Week, the President today
recognized the volunteers of the Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth
Foundation, Inc., of Clearwater, Florida, as the 758th Daily
Point of Light for the Nation. The volunteers give troubled
youth a second chance in life, helping them develop good
character and values.
Established in 1979 by Professional Golfers Association champion
Chi Chi Rodriguez, educator Bill Hayes, and the late Bob James,
the Foundation's goal is to instill greater self-esteem in young
people who have been victims of abuse, experienced minor brushes
with the law, or suffered other hardships.
"Chi Chi's Kids," is an after-school program at Glen Oaks Golf
Course and the Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Club. Volunteers teach
horticulture, golf and retail skills, as well as personal life
management, hygiene, and social behavior to over 100 young
people, who are referred to the program by teachers, counselors,
or concerned citizens. Specific learning strategies are tailored
individually to each child, whose progress is regularly reviewed.
Children receive free clothing, legal assistance, and, if
necessary, psychological treatment. Over 40 volunteers play golf
with the youth, lead field trips, tutor them in many subjects,
and help with golf course maintenance and administrative matters.
Mr. Rodriguez periodically telephones "his kids" to check on
their progress and visits them at times throughout the year.
Volunteers are involved in the Foundation's program which enables
several hundred youth and adults with minor criminal backgrounds
to learn landscaping and other job skills, while fulfilling
court-ordered service requirements. The Foundation also provides
the facilities, equipment, and expertise that enable 40 people
with mental and physical disabilities to experience golf and
recreation. In addition, Foundation golf pros work with other
youth organizations through the "Performance Toyota Golf Program
for Special Kids."
The President salutes the volunteers of the Chi Chi Rodriguez
Youth Foundation, Inc., for exemplifying his belief that, "From
now on in America, any definition of a successful life must
include serving others."

In honor of National Volunteer Week, the President today
recognized the volunteers of New York City Relief as the 759th
Daily Point of Light for the Nation. These volunteers provide a
wide variety of support services to New York's homeless
population.
In 1989, after 23 years of success in private business, Richard
and Dixie Galloway turned their energies to the plight of
homeless people in New York City. After extensive research, the
Galloways discovered that numerous support services were already
available. Their challenge was to match homeless individuals
with services which would best meet their needs. With this
objective in mind, the Galloways converted an old school bus into
a medical clinic, kitchen, and resource office which travels to
different neighborhoods, five days a week, and remains there from
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
New York City Relief is run entirely by volunteers, who include
housewives, doctors, and college students, and who range in age
from 15 to 86 years. Nine volunteers donate full days to the
operation of the mobile resource office, while the number of
part-time volunteers ranges from 25 during the winter to over 100
throughout the summer. The volunteers work on location, serving
food, administering first aid, and directing homeless individuals
to the agencies able to meet their needs.
Whether serving someone a hot meal, escorting an addict to a
detoxification clinic, or referring a pregnant woman to Cornell
University's free pre-natal, birth, and post-natal care, New York
City Relief volunteers touch the lives of more than 3,000
homeless men and women each day. One example is Larry, who after
a 15-year heroine addiction, came to New York City Relief for
assistance. He was accompanied to a detoxification program and
eventually to drug rehabilitation by a volunteer. Today, he is
drug-free, gainfully employed, and volunteers at New York City
Relief every Friday. Because of the program's success, it has
been replicated in Toronto and Philadelphia.
The President salutes the volunteers of New York City Relief for
exemplifying his belief that, "From now on in America, any
definition of a successful life must include serving others."

In honor of National Volunteer Week, the President today
recognized the employee volunteers of the Community Involvement
Team (C.I.T.) of Trustmark National Bank of Hattiesburg,
Mississippi, as the 760th Daily Point of Light for the Nation.
Team members strengthen their community and help those in need by
engaging in a remarkable variety of voluntary service activities.
Established in 1987, the Community Involvement Team links more
than 80 percent of the bank's 98 employees to service
opportunities throughout Hattiesburg. Ten or more Team members
volunteer with the Pine Belt Boys and Girls Club, where they
befriend and tutor over 300 youth, ages 5 through 18, from low-
income families.
Team members also befriend residents of the Wesley Manor
Retirement Community, transporting them to and from appointments
and escorting them on errands. Volunteers also help organize an
annual Christmas Party and a Valentines Day Sweethearts Ball.
The Community Involvement Team has been a mainstay of the
Christian Services Soup Kitchen, which opened in 1987. After
refurbishing a room for the kitchen's opening, C.I.T. members ran
the program until more community volunteers became involved. A
number of them still volunteer six hours a week.
Team members are also involved in the Right Choice Program. This
six week program provides positive adult role models and lasting
friendships for troubled youth. Four members of the Team have
been involved, including the President of the Bank.
The President salutes the employee volunteers of the Community
Involvement Team of Trustmark National Bank of Hattiesburg for
exemplifying his belief that, "From now on in America, any

In honor of National Volunteer Week, the President today
recognized Rosemarie Williams of Riverside, California, as the
760th Daily Point of Light for the Nation. Mrs. Williams helps
women with developmental disabilities develop independence and a
sense of well-being.
Mrs. Williams, 72, was inspired to serve individuals with mental
disabilities because of her experiences with her own daughter,
now 32, who is developmentally disabled. For the past six years,
Mrs. Williams has been a volunteer with the Association of
Retarded Citizens - Riverside (ARC). Four hours a day, five days
a week, Mrs. Williams teaches personal hygiene and basic life
skills to developmentally disabled young women between the ages
of 9 and 40 years. In addition to better personal grooming
habits, cooking skills, and other independent living skills, the
women have the opportunity to learn how to socialize and develop
relationships with their peers. As a result of Mrs. Williams'
patient guidance, many of these women have become more confident
and self-assured.
Prior to her work with ARC, Mrs. Williams organized and led a
Girl Scout Troop for girls with developmental disabilities. She
created her own Troop Merit Badge, called "Thinking," which is
still used by troops throughout her area. Many of the girls from
her troop now attend her classes at ARC. Over the years, Mrs.
Williams has developed a number of programs which enable
developmentally disabled children to enjoy swimming, hiking, and
camping.
The President salutes Rosemarie Williams for exemplifying his
belief that, "From now on in America, any definition of a
successful life must include serving others."

Alexander Says Clinton's Education Plans Hampered by
Traditionalists
By TAMARA HENRY
AP Education Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - Education Secretary Lamar Alexander said
Friday whatever creative ideas the Democratic presidential nominee
proposes for improving schools will be rejected by his key
supporters - "the business as usual crowd."
Alexander sidestepped the issue of whether his boss, President
Bush, and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, the front-runner for the
Democratic nomination, have similar strategies to improve learning
in America.
"I think the president's got an agenda and the presidential
nominee's got a problem (because) he's got the business-as-usual
crowd for his supporters," Alexander told a luncheon at the
National Press Club.
"It will be more difficult for the Democratic nominee to be a
strong advocate for revolutionary change in the schools ...
The
business-as-usual crowd will not go for revolutionary ideas," he
said.
Bush on Thursday proposed giving all Americans a $25,000 line of
government-backed credit to pay for higher education or acquire new
job skills. The money could be borrowed through the Student Loan
Marketing Association, a quasi-governmental agency known as Sallie
Mae, which in turn would sell $100 million in securities a year to
pay for it.
Terms of repayment would vary, with interest charges keyed to
recipients' ability to pay.
Bush said he plans to include the idea as part of education
legislation he will propose to Congress later this year.
Clinton has proposed a new national trust fund that would allow
any person to borrow money for schooling and be able to repay it
either through payroll deductions based on their income, or through
community service.
Clinton's campaign spokesman Jeff Eller has said that Bush
"borrowed parts" of the Democratic candidate's education program.
Alexander, noting the first anniversary of Bush's education
reform program called America 2000, said Bush "has a clear agenda
for revolutionary change in education."
He said the six national education goals developed by Bush and
the nation's governors as part of America 2000 have been accepted
across the country.
He said businesses also have accepted Bush's challenge to work
with educators and others to design new ways to teach
schoolchildren; teachers are being given more flexibility in
operating their classes; and a national system of testing students
is being developed.
"The Democratic nominee will have the same sort of problems
with education as Paul Tsongas had with the Democratic Party on
taxes, said Alexander. "The Democratic nominee will be under
pressure" to limit to only certain schools key changes in the
educational system.
Meanwhile, Alexander said Bush is working to implement a number
of key changes in all schools, including private and religious.
Congress has rejected many of Bush's education initiatives,
particularly those that would give low-income parents the choice to
use tax dollars to send their children to public, private or
parochial schools.
APR-17-1992 15:26 FROM US ED DEPT PUBLIC AFFAIRS TO
ETTA FIELEK P.01
Alexander says America's schools can be best
By JEFF BATER
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Education Secretary Lamar Alexander, praising his
boss George Bush's record in education as reason to re-elect him
president, said Friday that America can create the best schools in the
world by the year 2000.
In an address to a lunchtime crowd at the National Press Club,
Alexander touted "America 2000'' - the strategy Bush unveiled a year
ago Saturday to make Americans better educated that has been largely
snubbed by Congress.
Alexander said the plan is working slowly but surely and that it can
succeed if implemented to full term.
"This is not a seven-second sound bite, Alexander said of Bush's
ambitious education reform package. "This is not even a 100-hour war.
There is no solution that we can cook up here for what we need to do
about education that comes in the form of legislation and some more
money and instant result. It's more than that. And we have finished one
year of a nine-year crusade.'
Alexander said during the 30-minute speech that Bush's record as an
" education president" is reason for Americans to give him a second
term in the White House.
"I believe his leadership in education is one very good reason to
give him another term because it would be an opportunity for him to
finish the job," Alexander said.
The education secretary's remarks came a day after Bush, in an
election-year speech, heralded "America 2000'' as it approached its
anniversary and reissued an old proposal to upgrade education that has
been already shot down by Congress.
The plan calls for offering Americans of all ages a $25,000 line of
credit for higher education expenses. It was introduced in the House
earlier this year but died on procedural grounds without coming to a
vote.
``America 2000'' includes building 535 so-called break-the-mold new
schools, using federal dollars to give parents greater choice in
selecting a school for their youngster, and alternative teacher
certification.
With assistance from the nation's governors, Bush also set six lofty
education goals for the year 2000 - children ready to learn when they
come to school; 90 percent high school graduation rate, up from the
current 70 percent; all pupils learning to a world-class standard in at
least math, science, English, history, and geography; first in the world-
in math and science; skilled, literate work force; drug-free, violence-
free schools.
Alexander said 43 states and 1,100 communities have adopted "America
2000."
"The goals have become the nation's goals, he said. "I feel we're
making a little bit of progress every day. We can create the best
schools in the world. This is the nation that grew up reading "The
Little Engine That Could.'
"If we can put a missile down a smokestack, we can create the best
schools by the end of this century, Alexander said.
The education secretary lamented that Congress, which has largely
shelved ''America 2000'' as inadequate or even harmful, won't embrace
the reform plan.
"It's hard for Congress to catch on," Alexander said. "The
president asks for Congress to help communities, create break-the-mold
schools, and they won't even provide the funding that would jump-start
the first 1 percent of the 50,000 break-the-mold schools that we need."
Alexander said education will be a big issue in the long run for the
White House.

PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB LUNCHEON
APRIL 17, 1992
Q:
You made reference to the Sperling breakfast the other day
in which, as I heard it, you said education would not be an
issue in this election because Bill Clinton and George Bush
are so close together in what they want. Do you still
believe that, and, if so, how is the President and Bill
Clinton going to differentiate themselves on education?
A:
Well as I said, different people heard it different ways.
The Christian Science Monitor said Alexander says education
will be a battle ground in the fall so here's what I think
about that. I think it's up to the President of the United
States to set his agenda and it's up to the Democratic
nominee to set his agenda and they will. You and other
reporters will see the differences. I think, when I might
have tried to explain the different kinds of issues,
priority issues and then divisive campaign issues, that got
confusing. So I think I'll stick with the idea that it'll
be a big issue. I think if I were going to predict what
might happen I would say that in this case it will be more
difficult for the Democratic nominee to be a strong advocate
for revolutionary change in the schools because the
Democratic nominee will be in this case the establishment
candidate. And I think the Democratic nominee will have the
same sort of problem with education that Paul Tsongas had
with the Democratic party on taxes. And we're likely to see
issues develop like the President is saying: "Well let's
have break-the-mold New American Schools with everybody
involved coming up with the best ideas in the world. And
the business-as-usual crowd will be saying: "Well, no, no,
no, let's not let everybody get involved, let's give the
money only to the people who gave us the schools we have.
And the Democratic nominee will be under great pressure to
say only for some schools. And the President will say:
"Let's give middle- and low-income families more of the same
choices of all schools that wealthy people already have,"
and the Democratic nominee will be under great pressure from
the establishment and the business-as-usual crowd to say
only choices of some schools. or, the President will say:
"Let's take the Federal money and give teachers flexibility
in every state, in every community." And the business-as-
usual crowd will say: "We can't untie the teachers' hands
in that way we have a lot of rules and regulations we've got
on," and that will put pressure on the Democratic nominee.
So I think the President's got an agenda and the Democratic
nominee's got a problem. He's got the business-as-usual
crowd for his supporters and we'll see what happens.

Q:
This questioner says a recent Washington Post article
criticized President Bush for being almost invisible on his
education promises. It quoted numerous people saying that
his interests appear totally political and that he had
nowhere near the genuine interest exhibited by you, his
Secretary of Education. The article had numerous examples
of his apparent disinterest, including no personal lobbying
on recent education spending bills in Congress. To quote a
former Democratic Presidential candidate, "where's the
beef?"
A:
Well, the beef is the first National Education Goals in
history, 43 states and more than a thousand communities in
AMERICA 2000, a nation moving toward World-Class Standards,
break-the-mold New American Schools, a national examination
system, flexibility for teachers, choices for students, and
a Federal education budget that puts more new money into
education than into any other department in this government
in new discretionary dollars. The beef is a half-billion
dollars for the break-the-mold schools, a half-billion
dollars to give families choices, the largest increase in
history for Head Start, the largest increase in history
proposed for grants and loans to help students go to
college. The beef is, yesterday offering every American a
$25,000 line of credit for education and job training to be
paid back out of earnings. There's plenty of beef, and the
sooner members of the news media would report what the
candidates propose and the merits of them and let the people
worry about that instead of some of these side issues, I
think the more people would know about it. I was with the
President in Columbus, Ohio, for a day, a day, kicking off
OHIO 2000. He got back into the car and he said a miracle
happened. I said what? He said someone asked me a question
about education. It's not on the front page, it's not at
the top of the evening news. It's just the solution to most
of what is at the top of the evening news and on the front
page. And as people learn more about it in the campaign,
they'll see he's not only not been invisible, he gives an
enormous amount of time to it. I don't have a single
complaint about the amount of time he spends on it, and I
don't know of any Cabinet member on the domestic side
anyway, who has easier access to him or who spends more time
with him.
Q:
What is the strategy to bring African American students to
the academic level of their counterparts in the public
school system when state and local governments are cutting
their education budget?
A:
The first strategy -- or first a correction. State and
local governments overall aren't cutting their education
budget. I know it seems like it because it hasn't been
-3-
going up as rapidly, but over the last four years education
spending in the states is up 25 percent and in the Federal
government it's up 41 percent. Now it's been a tough time
because for two or three years we've been in a recession,
that makes managing the money hard. But the first thing to
do for African-American students or Hispanic students or any
other students, a large number whom may be at risk, is to
expect of them exactly what we expect of everybody else and
then do everything we can to help them succeed. I like the
Henry Levin Accelerated Schools, such as the Coghill
Elementary School. in New Orleans, and there are many others.
It's called accelerated because they slow no one down; they
just speed everybody up who's behind. They do not accept,
for a minute, that a child cannot learn and they succeed in
that goal. Now it takes extra effort, it might take a
longer school day, it may take more volunteers, it may take
parents who get more involved, it may take foster
grandparents, it may take turning off the television, it may
take a lot of things; but any community that wants to help
at-risk children succeed can do that. It's just a matter of
the community deciding to do that. That's all it takes.
The children can learn, and it is a grave disservice to
African-Americans or anyone else to say, well, all of you
who can learn come up here to the front and all of you who
are African-American go over here because we assume you
won't be able to learn as well. We've done that in our
history. We should not do it anymore.

Dear Lamar:
Thanks so much for your assistance to us in our efforts to identify a way in which the family,
possibly together with Wal-Mart, can make an effective initiative in education. We all appreciate your
taking the time and making the effort to come to our corner of Arkansas it meant a great deal to my
father and to all of our family for you to visit with us. I thought we had a good visit with David Kearns
and his group and we will be working to make sure that we proceed to develop a good initiative that can
involve both the family and Wal-Mart in making a difference in education.
The course you are on is certainly an exciting and challenging one and it would be great for Wal-
Mart to be a participant in this development, as well as for our local Rogers and Bentonville Schools to
be leaders.
I have asked David to help us "sell" this program to our local school constituencies. It will be a
good test of what we might achieve elsewhere.
Thanks again for your help and I look forward to seeing you again
Very Rob truly yours

P.S. I am writing separately to express our family appreciation but I hope that the President, Sam
Skinner and the White House Advance Team can have at least some feeling of the great appreciation we
all feel for their effort in making the Medal of Freedom Award to my father two weeks ago. It was the
highlight of his life and meant more than you can imagine to our Wal-Mart associates who feel,
rightfully, that the award was as much to them as to Dad. If you have an opportunity to pass on our
appreciation to any of those folks, I would appreciate it.

FROM:
MICHAEL R. DELAND
SUBJECT:
STATUS REPORT ON RIO CONFERENCE
The preparatory process for the U.N. Conference on Environment
and Development (UNCED) completed its final session last month.
Many points of debate have been resolved, but some significant
matters remain open for conclusion in Rio. The United States has
played a leadership role throughout the process and has made
particularly significant contributions on issues which link
democracy, free markets, and wise environmental protection.
Major philosophical message:
In the most fundamental terms, the Rio meeting is about the
integration of environment and economic concerns. Some have used
the term "sustainable development" to describe this linkage,
although that term has been defined in countless ways.
Deliverables and status:
The Rio Declaration will be comprised of major international
norms establishing the linkages between environmental and
economic development concerns. Status: a draft exists for
negotiation in Rio.
Agenda 21 is a lengthy listing of policy and program options
which might be adopted by individual nations around the
globe. Agenda 21 covers over 25 specific topic areas,
ranging from the world's oceans to protection of freshwater,
from technology cooperation and science to financial
resources. Status: Work has been completed on all but a
few, very contentious topic areas, which will be raised
again in Rio.
Principles for Protection of the World's Forests stem from a
proposal by the United States at the G-7 Summit in Houston
1990 and will cover all types of forests in all countries.
Status: Will need additional discussion in Rio,
particularly in connection with technology cooperation and
financial resource implications.
Framework Convention on Global Climate Change is due to be
opened for signature in Rio. Status: The final negotiating
session for the climate convention takes place April 30
through May 8, in New York.
Framework Convention on Biological Diversity is also due to
opened for signature in Rio. Status: Final negotiating
session takes place May 11 through 21, in Nairobi.

The IFA has asked participating franchisors to create a program of tangible
benefits for the veterans in the form of discounted franchise fees and/or by
agreeing to finance a percentage of their franchise fee. Veterans must be
able to meet all usual and customary qualifications of their selected
franchisor prior to being accepted as a franchisee. Current members of the
Armed Forces will have up to 24 months following their discharge to begin
their participation in VETFRAN. All other veterans must begin their
participation within 24 months after the onset of VETFRAN, that is, not later
than August 14, 1993. An individual must show proof of veterans status (e.g.

Dear Veteran:
Welcome to the Veterans Transition Franchise Initiative (VETFRAN). The
purpose of this newsletter is to keep you informed of the developments in the
VETFRAN Program, and to provide you with an updated list of participating
franchisors. your primary contacts for developments in the program will be
Baxter Coffee and Patti Fornelius, VETFRAN Administrators, P.O. Box 3146,
Waco, TX, 76707, 817-753-4555.
The purpose of the VETFRAN program is to introduce veterans to business
opportunities in the franchise industry. The International Franchise
Association (IFA) was motivated by President Bush's appeal to the American
business community to provide more and better business opportunities for
America's veterans. Don Dwyer VETFRAN creator and founder, petitioned william
Cherkasky, International Franchise Association President, for national support
from the franchise community.
Franchisors across the nation rallied behind the program, and on August 14,
1991, after seven months of organisation the Veterans Transition Franchise
Initiative was officially launched. Don's efforts were recognized by the
white House and the United States Congress. No was awarded a "certificate of
Merit" by President Bush and was commended by Congress for being "...the kind
of patriotic, can-do entrepreneur that has made our country the greatest land
of opportunity in the world". "We want to show our active duty military
personnel, and all veterans, that the franchise industry cares about their
future", say Dwyer. "It is our way of saying thank you to those who have
protected this nation".
The IFA has asked participating franchisors to create a program of tangible
benefits for the veterans in the form of discounted franchise fees and/or by
agreeing to finance a percentage of their franchise fee. Veterans must be
able to meet all usual and customary qualifications of their selected
franchisor prior to being accepted as a franchisee. current members of the
Armed Forces will have up to 24 months following their discharge to begin
their participation in VETFRAN. All other veterans must begin their
participation within 24 months after the onset of VETFRAN, that is, not later
than August 14, 1993. An individual must show proof of veterans status (e.g.
DD 214) and have been discharged other than dishonorably.
The primary benefits of the VETFRAN program are the substantial financial
discounts and financing arrangements the participating franchisors are
offering to the veterans. Enclosed with your Newsletter is 4 current list of
"Participating Franchisors", including their telephone number, contact person
and business classification. The VETFRAN Program includes a wide range of
franchise opportunities to choose from, and the list of "Participating
Pranchisors" should triple by the end of this year. The veteran will contact
the franchisor of his choice, and then be prequalified by the franchisor
(ability, credit history, personal financial statement etc.). The franchisor
will counsel the veterans regarding the franchise industry, as well as discuss
the most appropriate vehicle to finance the franchise purchase, i.e. personal
assets, friends/relatives, conventional loan or SBA guaranteed loan. If a
conventional loan, or bank loan guaranteed by the SBA is required, the veteran
needs to be aware of the fact that he/she will still need to have a clean
credit history and reasonable collateral. If the veteran does not have enough
money to purchase a franchise he/she may need to obtain a conventional loan
from a bank or other key lender. The veteran goes to the Key Lender who will
discuss financing with him and provide a loan application for a regular
commercial loan. The lender may direct the veteran to a CPA or "loan
packager- to assist him in completing the loan application, business plan and
forms. Loan packagers charge from $250.00 to $1,500.00 to provide these
services. The SBA and its associated resources (S.C.O.R.E., S.B.D.C.) also
can assist veterans in developing a business plan and loan application;
however noither the SBA, S.C.O.R.E. or the S.B.D.C.'s can fill out SBA loan
application forms for the veteran. some franchisors have in-house loan
packagers that can provide assistance. If the applicant is a Vietnam ora
veteran, or has a 30a or more compensable disability, and the veteran has been
turned down by a bank for a commercial loan and the SBA for a guaranteed loan
(for other than credit reasons) the SBA does have the limited resources to
make a direct loan, (ceiling of $150,000.00).
As soon as you receive this newsletter you may begin contacting the franchise
of your choice. If there is a specific franchise you are interested in that
does not appear on the list, please call us at 817-753-4555 and we will
immediately contact the franchisor and make them aware of the program. If you
belong to a veterans group or organization please feel free to have them
contact us no that we may include them on our mailing list.
Heis would encourage all veterans to seek out those franchisors who are
displaying the VETFRAN logo in their promotional materials. As you attend
NCOA sponsored Job Fairs and joint NCOA/International Franchise Association
Exposition seminars be sure to look for the VETTRAN logo being displayed in
the Participating Franchisors trade booth; this logo means they support
VETFRAN and are offering special discounts and/or financing arrangements for
veterans. We wish each of you the best of luck in pursuing your new business
opportunities.

I believe this revised draft does that.

--DRAFT GAG RULE/ABORTION--
BW/SMG

Dear:
On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your comments about
issues relating to the subject of abortion and about the Title X
family planning program.
Title X was enacted as a Federal Government program to provide
pre-pregnancy family planning services. Women who are pregnant
require services that Title X cannot provide. Regulations were
promulgated in 1988 that address the question of how to help
women who, upon seeking services from a Title X funded project,
discover that Title X funds cannot be used to treat pregnant
women. The 1988 regulation requires that pregnant women be given
a list of providers of services for the well-being of mother and
child. Because the original Title X statute prohibits use of
Title X funds for programs in which abortion is a method of
family planning, providers whose primary business is abortion
cannot be included in the referral list. Hospitals and other
providers for whom abortion is only a part of their activity may
be included in the referral list. No restrictions are placed on
the content of the counseling that is received when a woman seeks
the referral services. The Supreme Court has upheld the
regulation.
Some have sought to portray Title X regulations as a "gag rule"
that interferes with the doctor/patient relationship. To dispel
this misperception, President Bush issued a directive last year
to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The President's
directive makes clear that implementation of the regulation must
preserve the confidentiality of the doctor/patient relationship
and that nothing is to prevent a physician from giving a pregnant
woman complete medical information about her condition.
Officials who administer the Title X program have issued
instructions to clinics that receive funds from this program
asking them to comply with the rule. It is the same rule that
was promulgated in 1988. Complying with the rule, as it is
written -- as opposed to what some have represented the rule to
be -- will assure the highest standard of care in the Title X
program.
With the President's best wishes,

Unemployment Benefits
As the result of a suggestion by a Chicago

COMMENTS:
--DRAFT REPLY TO UNEMPLOYED WHO SEND PHOTOS--
BW/SMG
Dear: Thank you for your letter and for the photograph that you sent to
President Bush. I assure you that the President cares deeply about
you and others who are unemployed because of the slow-growing
economy. He has made it a point to listen to those who are having
hard times. The President understands and he is very concerned,
that many hardworking people are worried about their future. He is
determined that there will be change -- and, equally important, the
right kind of change -- to ensure that our economy is back on track
and moving forward again.
President Bush is taking action in two key areas to help unemployed
Americans. First, he has proposed numerous initiatives to Congress
to spur our economy and to encourage sustained economic growth so
that there will be jobs and opportunities for all our people.
Second, he has directed Secretary of Labor Lynn Martin to work with
Congress to develop and to pass legislation that will extend the
emergency unemployment compensation program through the end of this
year. The President believes that this can be done quickly --
without raising taxes or adding to the Iready huge Federal
deficit.
You may know that, twice within the last five months, President
Bush has signed into law legislation that he had requested to
provide emergency unemployment benefits. The President had made it
clear that he would readily approve responsible additional
unemployment benefits if he were presented with legislation that
would not deter future economic growth and its associated job-
creation by adding to the deficit. Instead, Congress initially
sent to the President bills that would have added $6 billion to the
deficit. President Bush refused to sign legislation that would
have done further harm to the economy, and eventually Congress sent
him responsible bills.
Clearly, the single best answer to the problem of unemployment is
economic growth, and the President believes that government
policies that encourage job creation and opportunities will ensure
a sound and economically healthy America. Yet the task of
converting commonsense proposals into reality is difficult when
there is a fundamental difference between the Democratic-controlled
Congress and the President about how to solve America's problems.
The President's proposals constantly face significant opposition
from the Democratic leadership of Congress, whose frequent answer
to problems is more taxes and more Federal spending.
President Bush will keep pushing hard for legislation that will
mean real help to unemployed workers such as you and to their
families. The President appreciates having your views about these
important issues.
Sincerely,
SMG
