SCRIPT FOR PRESIDENTIAL VIDEO
DEDICATION OF THE SILVIO O. CONTE FORUM
FEBRUARY 18, 1989
Father Monan, members of the Boston College community, and
friends of Sil Conte, thank you for inviting me to participate in
this very special dedication ceremony.
I have said many times that I would like to be remembered as
the Education President. People often ask me, "Why? Why
education?" The answer is that education is the key to
opportunity, and opportunity is what America is all about.
Education represents the most proven pathway to a better life.
For generation after generation of immigrants -- fleeing poverty
and persecution in Europe, Asia, and Latin America -- the
education of their children has been the focus of their lives and
the purpose of their personal sacrifice.
Sil Conte knows the truth of these words because they have
come true in his own lifetime. He is a living testament to the
value of a good education. Born the son of first-generation
immigrants, Sil was raised in a home where English was his
parents' second language.
But by working hard to put himself through school, Sil Conte
became a modern day success story. Today, Sil Conte is a
champion of education at all levels. Whether it's increased
funding for student financial assistance, a greater commitment to
the handicapped, or more support for vocational and technical
education, Sil has led the charge.
Boston College is fortunate to be able to claim Sil as one
of its own. And judging from his commitment to education
throughout his life of public service in Washington, Sil has
never forgotten how he got there.
As I said, my hope is to be remembered as the Education
President. Well, Silvio Conte has already established himself as
the Education Congressman.
Congratulations, Sil, on this very special day.
Thank you very much. And God bless you all.
