ST. LOUIS VARIETY CLUB DINNER AND TELETHON
I AM PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS WEEKEND'S
ANNUAL SAMMY DAVIS, JR. VARIETY TELETHON. OVER THE YEARS, THE
ST. LOUIS VARIETY CLUB HAS MADE MAGNIFICENT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE
LIVES OF THE CHILDREN OF ST. LOUIS AND IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF
VOLUNTEERISM AND PUBLIC SERVICE WORKING TOGETHER.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NEW WING OF THE CARDINAL GLENNON
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL WAS OPENED JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, AND WILL NOW
BE NAMED THE SAMMY DAVIS, JR. VARIETY CLUB WING. I KNOW I SPEAK
FOR MANY PEOPLE WHEN I SAY THANKS FOR A JOB WELL DONE.
THE ST. LOUIS VARIETY CLUB IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT IS MADE
UP OF PEOPLE WHO CARE. LIKE YOUR MAN OF THE YEAR AND MY GOOD
FRIEND, AUGUST BUSCH THE THIRD, WHO HAS BROUGHT VOLUNTEERISM TO
NEW HEIGHTS THROUGH HIS SIGNIFICANT WORK WITH CIVIC AND
CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS.
ANOTHER GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE THE
ST. LOUIS VARIETY CLUB SUCH A MEANINGFUL PART OF THE COMMUNITY IS
YOUR WOMAN OF THE YEAR, DR. MARGUERITE ROSS BARNETT, CHANCELLOR
OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT ST. LOUIS. SHE IS BEING HONORED
FOR BRINGING MAJOR CORPORATIONS AND PRIVATE CITIZENS TOGETHER TO
ESTABLISH PROGRAMS TO MAKE A COLLEGE EDUCATION POSSIBLE FOR ALL.
HER WORK HAS BEEN TRULY OUTSTANDING.
THE DEFINITION OF A SUCCESSFUL LIFE MUST INCLUDE SERVING
OTHERS, AND INDEED THE MEMBERS OF THE ST. LOUIS VARIETY CLUB ARE
PROVING THAT DEFINITION TRUE. THEY AND THEIR SERVICE TO OTHERS
ARE SHINING EXAMPLES FOR THOSE CITIZENS WHO WANT TO MAKE THIS A
BETTER COUNTRY
AND I THINK MAKING AMERICA A BETTER COUNTRY IS
VERY IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. YOU HAVE MY BEST WISHES FOR YOUR
CONTINUED SUCCESS.

WHAT A PLEASURE IT IS FOR ME TONIGHT TO KNOW THAT THE B'NAI
B'RITH IS AWARDING THE 1989 GREAT AMERICAN TRADITIONS AWARD TO
ONE OF MY OLDEST FRIENDS, BOB MOSBACHER, AND HIS SON ROB.
BOB AND I GO BACK MORE THAN 30 YEARS, AND I AM DELIGHTED
THAT HE IS WORKING WITH ME HERE IN WASHINGTON. ( (IN FACT, THE
DEPTH OF OUR FRIENDSHIP IS MEASURED BY THE SIZE OF THAT PAY CUT
HE'LL TAKE AS A MEMBER OF MY CABINET.) ) BOB WILL BE ONE OF THE
BEST SECRETARIES OF COMMERCE THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD, BECAUSE
HE UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING AMERICA COMPETITIVE IN
THE GLOBAL ARENA. HE'S THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB, AND THAT'S WHY
I SELECTED HIM.
I KNEW ROB MOSBACHER WHEN HE WAS JUST A KID, AND LIKE HIS
FATHER, HE'S TURNED INTO QUITE A SAILOR. BUT EVEN MORE
IMPORTANTLY, HE HAS, LIKE HIS FATHER, TURNED INTO QUITE A
BUSINESSMAN AND COMMUNITY LEADER WHO EXEMPLIFIES THE HIGHEST
IDEALS OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP. (BUT ROB, LET ME TELL YOU I CAN'T
GIVE YOU A CABINET SPOT LIKE YOUR FATHER. WHEN IT COMES TO
ADDING MORE CABINET POSITIONS, "READ MY LIPS: NO NEW TEXANS." )
BOB AND ROB, I WISH I COULD BE THERE TONIGHT TO SEE YOU
RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR SERVICE AND VISION -- AND YOUR WORK TO
IMPROVE THE LIVES OF so MANY OTHERS WHO ARE LESS FORTUNATE. THE
TWO OF YOU HAVE SET A NEW STANDARD IN YOUR CHARITABLE, CIVIC AND
PUBLIC SERVICE. HOUSTON CAN BE PROUD OF YOU. I KNOW I AM.
AS A FELLOW TEXAN, I KNOW I SPEAK FOR MANY OTHERS WHEN I SAY
THANK YOU FOR THE YEARS OF WORK YOU HAVE GIVEN TO OUR COMMUNITY.
ENJOY YOURSELVES TONIGHT, AND ONCE AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS.

B'rith is awarding the 1989 Great American Traditions Award to
one of my oldest friends, Bob Mosbacher, and his son Rob.
Bob and I go back more than 25 years, and I am delighted
that he'll be working with me here in Washington. ((In fact, the
depth of our friendship is measured by the size of that pay cut
he'll take as a member of my Cabinet.) Bob will be one of the
best Secretaries of Commerce this country has ever had, because
he understands the importance of keeping America competitive in
the global arena. He's the best man for the job, and that's why
I nominated him.
I knew Rob Mosbacher when he was just a kid, and like his
father, he's turned into quite a sailor. But even more
importantly, he has, like his father, turned into quite a
businessman and community leader who exemplifies the highest
ideals of good citizenship. ((But Rob, let me tell you I can't
give you a Cabinet spot like your father. When it comes to
adding more Cabinet positions, "Read my lips: No new Texans. ") )
Bob and Rob, I wish I could be there tonight to see you
recognized for your service and vision -- and your work to
improve the lives of so many others who are less fortunate. The
two of you have set a new standard in your charitable, civic and
public service. Houston can be proud of you. I know I am.
As a fellow Texan, I know I speak for many others when I say
thank you for the years of work you have given to our community.
Enjoy yourselves tonight, and once again, congratulations.

ST. LOUIS VARIETY CLUB DINNER AND TELETHON
I am pleased to be able to participate in this weekend's
annual Sammy Davis, Jr. Variety Telethon. Over the years, the
St. Louis Variety Club has made magnificent contributions to the
lives of the children of St. Louis and is a classic example of
volunteerism and public service working together.
I understand that the new wing of the Cardinal Glennon
Children's Hospital was opened just a few days ago, and will now
be named the Sammy Davis, Jr. Variety Club Wing. I know I speak
for many people when I say thanks for a job well done.
The St. Louis Variety Club is important because it is made
up of people who care. Like your Man of the Year and my good
friend, August Busch the third, who personally and through his
business activities, has brought volunteerism to new heights
through his significant work with civic and charitable
organizations.
Another good example of the kind of people who have made the
St. Louis Variety Club such a meaningful part of the community is
your Woman of the Year, Dr. Marguerite Ross Barnett, Chancellor
of the University of Missouri at St. Louis. She is being honored
for bringing major corporations and private citizens together to
establish programs to make a college education possible for all.
Her work has been truly outstanding.
The definition of a successful life must include serving
others, and indeed the members of the St. Louis Variety Club are
proving that definition true. They and their service to others
are shining examples for those citizens who want to make this a
better country
And I think making America a better country is
very important to all of us.
Keep up the good work. You have my best wishes for your
continued success.

DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION CLUBS OF AMERICA
CAREER DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE
I am happy to send my greetings and congratulations to the
members of the Distributive Education Clubs of America and Delta
Epsilon Chi as you hold your Career Development Conference.
DECA has earned a strong reputation in Marketing Education
for teaching students the leadership in business and
understanding of free enterprise they'll need in the marketplace.
Your Career Development Conference is a fitting climax to a year
of activities in career development, and I'm sure this year's
conference will be very rewarding.
Your national staff, board of directors and classroom
instructors and advisors have worked long and hard to make this
year's successes possible. The member companies of your National
Advisory Board and the winner of this year's Outstanding Service
Award are also to be commended for their part in your program.
Your organization is an example of the kind of public-private
partnership I'd like to encourage in this country, as we work to
keep America competitive in the world marketplace.
We are now entering the 76th month of the greatest economic
expansion during peacetime in this nation's history. Training
the students of today to be tomorrow's business leaders is an
important part of keeping the job creation machine in gear. DECA
is doing a great job, and I wish you every success in the future.
