EDT SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1989 TEXT OF REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT TO THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN Baltimore Convention Center Baltimore, Maryland October 8, 1989 Judging from the theme you've chosen for this conference -- "Meeting the Challenges of the 90s" -- your eyes are focused firmly on the future. But you're not just waiting for the future to happen. You are doing something, right now, to make sure that the right voices are heard -- and the right decisions are made. You're working hard to elect and train the highest quality candidates for public service -- at all levels. Your campaign management schools and polling schools provide the kind of advanced training that brings the best to the ballots -- election after election. So I want to begin by wishing you luck with your new nationwide candidate recruiting program -- Project '90. I'd also like to congratulate you for your community service efforts like the "Caring for America" project. When I spoke of a "thousand points of light," you understood -- and you didn't hide your light under a bushel basket, or try to bury it in a bureaucracy. No, you've brought that light into the open, turning an abstract ideal into a shining reality. Your brand of community service and coalition-building make an unbeatable combination. You're seeking out capable people, interested in public service -- and bringing their candidacies to life. Many of you were in Orlando in the fall of 1987, when I spoke to your last biennial convention. That was just before I announced my candidacy for president. On that day I outlined five priorities that would shape this Administration's work. Today I'm going to sketch out a picture of the progress we've made since then. But I want to tell you up front that this isn't "my" record I'm talking about -- it's our record. Every step we've taken in the White House, every initiative, every new idea, has gained momentum with your support. And with every step we take in the future -- whether it's working to improve education at the State level, or fighting to curb drug abuse -- I know you'll be right there with us. The victories you've won -- and will continue to win -- aren't just victories of one candidate over another. They represent the victory of a philosophy. The vindication of Republican ideas. And proof positive, that the Republican Party is the only party that delivers on its promises. We promised America peace and prosperity -- and we're keeping that promise. So let's look at the record. - more - - 2 - Number One: Peace. Today the promise of change is everywhere, as mankind's natural desire for freedom compels a movement toward democracy around the world. Two years ago, meeting with you, I said I was for extending our progress on arms control with'a verifiable agreement to eliminate all chemical weapons from the face of the Earth. Just two weeks ago, at the United Nations General Assembly, I announced steps we're proposing toward a treaty to ban -- eliminate -- all chemical weapons around the world, within ten years of signing that treaty. Also, I have put forward proposals to drastically reduce conventional forces in Europe. And I expect progress on START -- steady movement toward an agreement on verifiable reductions in U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals. No, peace isn't breaking out all over -- but because of our policies, the potential for world peace may be greater now than ever before. Number Two: Prosperity. I told you two years ago I wanted to bring economic growth to all Americans, because "a job is the best anti-poverty program ever created." Well, we've just begun the 83rd month of uninterrupted economic growth -- a record- breaking recovery that has put more Americans to work, at better jobs, than ever before. In the two years since we last met, nearly half a million Black Americans have found jobs. This year Hispanic employment has reached an all-time high. And regions of America that were hardest-hit by the misguided economic policies of the late 1970s -- especially the Midwest -- are flourishing again today. Number Three: Good government. Two years ago I called for a "stronger sense of honor in public service, attracting people who want to make a contribution, not to make a buck." In the first months of this Administration we've sent a very clear signal to all branches of government. We've submitted ethics legislation to level the playing field between the Legislative and Executive Branches of government. We've also sent to the Congress comprehensive legislation to reform the way Congressional elections are financed. My proposals would enhance the role of the political parties, increase the role of the individual, and lessen the undue influence of special interests on elections. This legislation would also make Congressional elections more competitive. There is a 98.5 percent re-election rate in the House. Some of that is bound to be attributed to "perks" that are not truly needed for a Member of Congress to do his or her job. Part of governing is making sure that in the Executive Branch the best are chosen to serve. So we've sought out the best -- and our record of appointing talented and qualified women to important offices proves it. As of today, we've appointed 139 women to senior positions in this administration -- 88 nominated or announced for Senate-confirmed senior positions, 21 Presidential Appointees, and 30 Deputy Assistant Secretaries. That's more women appointed in our first nine months, than any previous administration government. managed in any given year. And that's a great step toward good - more - - 3 - Number Four: Education. Two years ago I said I wanted to educate our children for the 21st Century. Well, as you know, a week and a half ago America's governors convened with an American President for the first time since 1933 -- this time, to undertake a major State-by-State effort to restructure our system of education. That summit wasn't a conclusion, of course -- it was a commencement: The beginning of a process, whose only and ultimate goal is excellence in American education. We seek national standards, flexibility, and accountability -- and together, in a spirit of cooperation and courage, we will make the grade. Number Five: When I last saw you, I said I was for "making the protection of our environment a Republican issue again." But you know, we've done something even better than that. We've found new ways to move beyond partisanship in the battle against pollution. Earlier this year we brought people together from a wide range of perspectives -- Republicans and Democrats, environmentalists and industry leaders -- and offered new proposals to stem acid rain, cut urban smog, clean up air toxics, and encourage the use of alternative fuels. With that first step, we've created momentum. Just this week, a coalition of Republicans and Democrats in the House agreed on cuts in tailpipe emissions that had been a source of contention for years. The compromise that was reached -- while it wasn't perfect -- did demonstrate that progress is possible. The subcommittee is now finishing work on the bill, and I fervently hope that we will have a new clean air law within these next few months. Finally, Number Six: Something I know is on all of your minds -- the struggle against drugs. When I was inaugurated as President, I said "this scourge will stop" -- and I believe it will -- if all of us work to see that America no longer tolerates so-called "casual" users; and that drug dealers -- America's merchants of death -- get the penalties they deserve; and that lives are saved through treatment and, yes, through education. So those are some of the promises we're keeping. Peace and prosperity. Good government. Progress toward excellence in education, a sound environment, and working to put a stop to drugs. But we've got many more promises to keep. Like ensuring that America has a more flexible workforce to meet the challenges ahead. Finding new ways to encourage creative solutions in the workplace -- even encouraging work at home. And meeting the pressing need for quality child care -- unburdened by bureaucracy. One of the best ways to meet these challenges is through the efforts of concerned women like yourselves. We need leaders at all levels of government, who understand the changes before us. Leaders who can make those changes lead to positive results for men, women, and children all across America. Those of you gathered here today are putting that kind of leadership on the ballot. And while the National Federation of Republican Women is known for its success stories, I'd single out one of your members as symbolic of your achievements. She is young; Hispanic; a member of the National Federation of Republican Women -- and the only woman member of the United States Congress with young children. Her name is Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. I've know her for years. I was proud to campaign for her. - more - - 4 - Like the National Federation of Republican Women itself, she symbolizes our understanding of the future. Like all of you, she is part of something profoundly important. Part of a Republican Party that understands the American people -- and that keeps its promises. So keep looking toward the future. By working together, we can make the next century the next American century -- and will build the kind of nation that future generations deserve to inherit. # # # Document No. WHITE HOUSE STAFFING MEMORANDUM DATE: 10/5/89 ACTION/CONCURRENCE/COMMENT DUE BY: PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: NATIONAL FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN SUBJECT: ACTION FYI ACTION FYI VICE PRESIDENT MCCLURE SUNUNU NEWMAN SCOWCROFT PORTER DARMAN STUDDERT BATES UNTERMEYER ROGERS BREEDEN CARD WINSTON CICCONI PINKERTON WRAY DEMAREST FITZWATER GRAY HAGIN REMARKS: The attached has been forwarded to the President.

SUBJECT: REMARKS FOR NAT'L. FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN I. SUMMARY On Sunday, October 8, you and Mrs. Bush will fly from Camp David to Baltimore to address a luncheon at the biennial convention of the National Federation of Republican Women. Approximately 2,500 Republican women will be in attendance. II. DISCUSSION In September, 1987, you spoke to the NFRW at their last convention in Orlando. In that speech, you identified five priority issues that your Administration would address. This speech is intended to show that your Administration has made solid progress on all five of those issues. The speech also salutes the accomplishments of the NFRW and the contribution Republican women are making as leaders in the party. (Lange/Simon) October 5, 1989 5:40 p.m. [REPWOM.DOC] PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: NATIONAL FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN BALTIMORE CONVENTION CENTER SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1989 12:15 P.M. Thank you, [Judy]. First, let me commend you for two years of outstanding leadership of the NFRW. [PAUSE] And I'd offer best wishes to your newly-elected President, Huda (HYOU-da) Jones. [PAUSE] Let me also offer my heartfelt respects to Helen Bentley and Connie Morella. We need more like them in Congress. [PAUSE] Ambassador Kirkpatrick; RNC Co-Chair Jeannie Austin; and all of you here today -- Barbara and I are delighted to be with you. You know, as much as I love it when Barbara and I travel together, I get the feeling -- at least with this crowd -- that most of that fantastic applause was, as it should have been, for Barbara. [PAUSE] [[ We're spending this long weekend up at Camp David. Most of you probably know that President Eisenhower named Camp David after his grandson. Well, not too long ago, a friend of my son Marvin's started lobbying me to change the name to Camp Marvin. I told him we Bushes do things democratically, and called all of the kids for a vote. It was a tie -- one vote for Camp Marvin one for Camp Neil one for Camp Jeb one for Camp George and one for Camp Doro. [PAUSE] 2 You know, the only member of the Bush clan who didn't speak on her own behalf was Millie. 1] Judging from the theme you've chosen for this conference -- "Meeting the Challenges of the 90s" -- your eyes are focused firmly on the future. But you're not just waiting for the future to happen. You're the kind of people who are doing something, right now, to make sure that the right voices are heard -- and the right decisions are made. You're working hard to elect and train the highest quality candidates for public service -- at all levels. Your Campaign Management Schools and Polling Schools provide the kind of advanced training that brings the best to the ballots -- election after election. So I want to begin by wishing you luck with your new nation- wide candidate recruiting program -- Project '90. I'd also congratulate you for your community service efforts like the "Caring for America" project. [[ You know, last week I said in a speech that I'm a practical man -- that I'm not much for the airy and abstract. A fellow came up to me later and said "Fine -- so explain the thousand points of light." ]] Well, when I spoke of a "thousand points of light," you understood -- and you didn't hide your light under a bushel basket, or try to bury it in a bureaucracy. 3 No, you've brought that light into the open, turning an abstract ideal into a shining reality. Your brand of community service and coalition-building make an unbeatable combination. You're seeking out capable people, interested in public service -- and bringing their candidacies to life. [[ In a way, I have to feel sorry for your opponents. They tend to come up with contenders that run the whole gamut from "A" to "B" Candidates about as inspiring as a speed bump. ]] Many of you were in Orlando in the fall of 1987, when I spoke to your last Biennial Convention. That was just before I announced my candidacy for President. On that day I outlined five priorities that would shape this administration's work. Today I'm going to sketch out a picture of the progress we've made since then. But I want to tell you up front that this isn't "my" record I'm talking about -- it's our record. Every step we've taken in the White House, every initiative, every new idea, has gained momentum with your support.

And proof positive, that the Republican Party is the only party that delivers on its promises. 4 We promised America peace and prosperity -- and we're keeping that promise. So let's look at the record. Number One: Peace. Two years ago, meeting with you, I said I was for "extending our progress on arms control with a verifiable agreement to eliminate all chemical and biological weapons." Just two weeks ago, before the United Nations General Assembly, I announced steps we're taking toward a treaty to ban -- eliminate -- all chemical weapons around the world, within ten years of signing that treaty. No, peace isn't breaking out all over -- but because of our policies, the potential for world peace may be greater now than ever before. Number Two: Prosperity.

And regions of America that were hardest-hit by the mis- guided economic policies of the late 1970s -- especially the Midwest -- are flourishing again today. 5 [[ But let's be fair. The policies of the late 1970s weren't ideas to be thrown aside lightly -- no, they were to be thrown aside with great force. ]] Number Three: Good government. Two years ago I called for a "stronger sense of honor in public service, attracting people who want to make a contribution, not to make a buck." In the first months of this administration we've sent a very clear signal to all branches of government. We've submitted Ethics legislation to level the playing field between the legislative and executive branches of government. We've also sent to the Congress comprehensive legislation to reform the way Congressional elections are financed. My proposals would enhance the role of the political parties, increase the role of the individual, and lessen the undue influence of special interests on elections. This legislation would also make Congressional elections more competitive. A 98.5 percent re-election rate in the House is unhealthy in a Democracy -- we need to give challengers a fairer shake in elections. Part of governing well is making sure that the best are chosen to serve. So we've sought out the best -- and our record of appointing talented and qualified women to important offices proves it. As of today, we've nominated or announced intent to nominate [86] women to Senate-confirmed senior positions in this administration. That's more women appointed in our first nine 6 months, than any previous administration managed in any given year. [PAUSE] And that's a great step toward good government. Number Four: Education. Two years ago I said I wanted to educate our children for the 21st Century. Well, as you know, a week and a half ago America's governors convened with an American President for the first time since 1933 -- this time, to undertake a major state-by-state effort to restructure our system of education.

We've found new ways to move beyond partisanship in the battle against pollution. Earlier this year we brought people together from a wide range of perspectives -- Republicans and Der ocrats, environmentalists and industry leaders -- and offered new 7 proposals to stem acid rain, cut urban smog, clean up air toxics, and encourage the use of alternative fuels. With that first step, we've created momentum. Just this week, a coalition of Republicans and Democrats in the House agreed on cuts in tailpipe emissions that had been a source of contention for years -- new standards that will bring us another step closer to clean air. The subcommittee is now finishing work on the bill, and I fervently hope that we will have a new clean air law within these next few months. So those are some of the promises we've kept. Peace and prosperity. Good government. Progress toward excellence in education, and a sound environment. But we've got many more promises to keep. Like ensuring that America has a more flexible workforce to meet the challenges ahead. Finding new ways to encourage creative solutions in the workplace -- even encouraging work at home. But especially, meeting the pressing need for quality childcare -- unburdened by centralized bureaucracy [insert from Porter to come]. These are issues where we're building a record to be proud of -- because we want to build an America we can be proud of. One of the best ways to meet these challenges is through the efforts of concerned women like yourselves. We need leaders at all levels of government, who understand the changes before us. Leaders who can make those changes lead to positive results for men, women, and children all across America. 8 Those of you gathered here today are putting that kind of leadership on the ballot.

Part of a Republican Party that understands the American people -- that keeps its promises -- and that makes sure the American dream endures. So keep looking toward the future.

The policies of the late 1970s weren't ideas to be thrown aside lightly -- no, they were to be thrown aside with great force. ]] Since this recovery began, our industrial production has grown twice as fast as that in Europe -- faster than the industrial production of the Japanese. So when anyone tells you America is "de-industrializing," they've got it wrong. Pronounce it to them slowly, like I do: The word is "RE-industrializing." And stronger than ever, thanks to a Republican Party, and Republican policies, that continue to bring prosperity to all Americans. 5 Number Three: Good government. Two years ago I called for a "stronger sense of honor in public service, attracting people who want to make a contribution, not to make a buck." In the first months of this administration we've sent a very clear signal to all branches of government People of integrity may disagree on the issues facing government -- but government must have no doubt about the integrity of its people. It's very simple: The American people deserve good government -- and the Republican Party is making sure they get it. Part of governing well is making sure that the best are chosen to serve. So we've sought out the best -- and our record of appointing talented and qualified women to important offices proves it. As of today, we've nominated or announced intent to nominate [86] women to Senate-confirmed senior positions in this administration. That's more women appointed in our first nine months, than any previous administration managed in any given year. [PAUSE] And that's a great step toward good government. Number Four: Education.

We seek national standards, flexibility, and accountability -- and together, in a spirit of cooperation and courage, we will make the grade. I'm especially proud of the efforts of one woman here today, who has made literacy her personal cause: your First Lady and mine, Barbara Bush.

With that first step, we've created momentum. Just this week, a coalition of Republicans and Democrats in the House agreed on cuts in tailpipe emissions -- new standards that will bring us another step closer to clean air. Other Republican ideas -- to protect our forests, water, atmosphere, and irreplaceable habitats -- promise to make the 7 1990s an environmental decade: a new era for the careful stewardship of our precious natural resources. So those are some of the promises we've kept. Peace and prosperity. Good government. Progress toward excellence in education, and a sound environment. These are issues where we're taking action. Building a record to be proud of. Building an America we can be proud of. Earlier I mentioned the number of outstanding and talented women we've appointed to senior positions in this administration. There's a reason for that -- and it's more than a matter of social justice. The world is changing -- whether or not we all agree with those changes. You all know about the dramatic increase of women in the workforce. The pressing need for quality child care (controversial) Changing demographics that make it all the more crucial that those women who do want to work, can work. One of the best ways to meet such challenges is through the efforts of concerned women like yourselves. We need leaders at all levels of government, who understand the changes before us. Leaders who can make those changes lead to positive results for men, women, and children all across America. Those of you gathered here today are putting that kind of leadership on the ballot. And while the NFRW is known for its success stories, I'd single out one of your members as symbolic of your achievements. 8 She is young; Hispanic; a member of the National Federation of Republican Women -- and the only woman member of the United States Congress with young children. Her name is Ileana Ros- Lehtinen. [PAUSE] Like the NFRW itself, she symbolizes our understanding of the future. Like all of you, she is part of something profoundly important. Part of a Republican Party that understands the American people -- that keeps its promises -- and that makes sure the American dream endures. So keep looking toward the future. By working together, we can make the next century the next American century -- and will build the kind of nation that future generations deserve to inherit. Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America. # # # "FINAL" (Lange/Simon) October 6, 1989 10:00 a.m. [REPWOM.DOC] PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: NATIONAL FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN BALTIMORE CONVENTION CENTER SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1989 12:15 P.M. Thank you, [Judy]. First, let me commend you for two years of outstanding leadership of the NFRW. [PAUSE] And I'd offer best wishes to your newly-elected President, Huda (HYOU-da) Jones. [PAUSE] Let me also offer my heartfelt respects to Helen Bentley and Connie Morella. We need more like them in Congress. Ambassador Kirkpatrick; RNC Co-Chair Jeannie Austin; and all of you here today -- Barbara and I are delighted to be with you. You know, as much as I love it when Barbara and I travel together, I get the feeling -- at least with this crowd -- that most of that fantastic applause was, as it should have been, for Barbara. [PAUSE] [[ We're spending this long weekend up at Camp David. Most of you probably know that President Eisenhower named Camp David after his grandson. Well, not too long ago, a friend of my son Marvin's started lobbying me to change the name to Camp Marvin. I told him we Bushes do things democratically, and called all of the kids for a vote. It was a tie -- one vote for Camp Marvin one for Camp Neil one for Camp Jeb one for Camp George and one for Camp Doro. [PAUSE] You know, the only member of the Bush clan who didn't speak on her own behalf was Millie. ]] 2 Judging from the theme you've chosen for this conference -- "Meeting the Challenges of the 90s" -- your eyes are focused firmly on the future. But you're not just waiting for the future to happen. You're the kind of people who are doing something, right now, to make sure that the right voices are heard -- and the right decisions are made. You're working hard to elect and train the highest quality candidates for public service -- at all levels. Your Campaign Management Schools and Polling Schools provide the kind of advanced training that brings the best to the ballots -- election after election. So I want to begin by wishing you luck with your new nation- wide candidate recruiting program -- Project '90. I'd also congratulate you for your community service efforts like the "Caring for America" project. [[ You know, last week I said in a speech that I'm a practical man -- that I'm not much for the airy and abstract. A fellow came up to me later and said "Fine -- so explain the thousand points of light." ]] Well, when I spoke of a "thousand points of light," you understood -- and you didn't hide your light under a bushel basket, or try to bury it in a bureaucracy. No, you've brought that light into the open, turning an abstract ideal into a shining reality. Your brand of community service and coalition-building make an unbeatable combination. You're seeking out capable people, 3 interested in public service -- and bringing their candidacies to life. Many of you were in Orlando in the fall of 1987, when I spoke to your last Biennial Convention. That was just before I announced my candidacy for President. On that day I outlined five priorities that would shape this administration's work. Today I'm going to sketch out a picture of the progress we've made since then. But I want to tell you up front that this isn't "my" record I'm talking about -- it's our record. Every step we've taken in the White House, every initiative, every new idea, has gained momentum with your support. And with every step we take in the future -- whether it's working to improve education at the state level, or fighting to curb drug abuse -- I know you'll be right there with us. The victories you've won -- and will continue to win -- aren't just victories of one candidate over another. They represent the victory of a philosophy. The vindication of Republican ideas. And proof positive, that the Republican Party is the only party that delivers on its promises. We promised America peace and prosperity -- and we're keeping that promise. So let's look at the record. Number One: Peace. Today the promise of change is everywhere, as mankind's natural desire for freedom compels a movement toward democracy around the world. 4 Two years ago, meeting with you, I said I was for extending our progress on arms control with a verifiable agreement to eliminate all chemical weapons from the face of the earth. Just two weeks ago, at the United Nations General Assembly, I announced steps we're proposing toward a treaty to ban -- eliminate -- all chemical weapons around the world, within ten years of signing that treaty. Also, I have put forward proposals to drastically reduce conventional forces in Europe. And I expect progress on START -- steady movement toward an agreement on verifiable reductions in U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals. No, peace isn't breaking out all over -- but because of our policies, the potential for world peace may be greater now than ever before. Number Two: Prosperity. I told you two years ago I wanted to bring economic growth to all Americans, because "a job is the best anti-poverty program ever created." Well, we've just begun the 83rd month of uninterrupted economic growth -- a record- breaking recovery that has put more Americans to work, at better jobs, than ever before. In the two years since we last met, nearly half a million Black Americans have found jobs. This year Hispanic employment has reached an all-time high. And regions of America that were hardest-hit by the mis- guided economic policies of the late 1970s -- especially the Midwest -- are flourishing again today. 5 [[ But let's be fair. The policies of the late 1970s weren't ideas to be thrown aside lightly -- no, they were to be thrown aside with great force. ]] Number Three: Good government. Two years ago I called for a "stronger sense of honor in public service, attracting people who want to make a contribution, not to make a buck." In the first months of this administration we've sent a very clear signal to all branches of government. We've submitted Ethics legislation to level the playing field between the legislative and executive branches of government. We've also sent to the Congress comprehensive legislation to reform the way Congressional elections are financed. My proposals would enhance the role of the political parties, increase the role of the individual, and lessen the undue influence of special interests on elections. This legislation would also make Congressional elections more competitive. A 98.5 percent re-election rate in the House is unhealthy in a Democracy. [[ The way it is now, incumbents don't have to run for office -- why run, when you can waltz? ]] Part of governing well is making sure that the best are chosen to serve. So we've sought out the best -- and our record of appointing talented and qualified women to important offices proves it. As of today, we've appointed 139 women to senior positions in this administration -- 88 nominated or announced for Senate- 6 confirmed senior positions, 21 Presidential Appointees, and 30 Deputy Assistant Secretaries. That's more women appointed in our first nine months, than any previous administration managed in any given year. [PAUSE] And that's a great step toward good government. Number Four: Education. Two years ago I said I wanted to educate our children for the 21st Century. Well, as you know, a week and a half ago America's governors convened with an American President for the first time since 1933 -- this time, to undertake a major state-by-state effort to restructure our system of education. That summit wasn't a conclusion, of course -- it was a commencement: the beginning of a process, whose only and ultimate goal is excellence in American education. We seek national standards, flexibility, and accountability -- and together, in a spirit of cooperation and courage, we will make the grade. I'm especially proud of the efforts of one woman here today, who has made literacy her personal cause: your First Lady and mine, Barbara Bush. [PAUSE] Number Five: When I last saw you, I said I was for "making the protection of our environment a Republican issue again." But you know, we've done something even better than that. We've found new ways to move beyond partisanship in the battle against pollution. 7 Earlier this year we brought people together from a wide range of perspectives -- Republicans and Democrats, environmentalists and industry leaders -- and offered new proposals to stem acid rain, cut urban smog, clean up air toxics, and encourage the use of alternative fuels. With that first step, we've created momentum. Just this week, a coalition of Republicans and Democrats in the House agreed on cuts in tailpipe emissions that had been a source of contention for years. The compromise that was reached -- while it wasn't perfect -- did demonstrate that progress is possible. The subcommittee is now finishing work on the bill, and I fervently hope that we will have a new clean air law within these next few months. Finally, Number Six: Something I know is on all of your minds -- the struggle against drugs. When I was inaugurated as President, I said "this scourge will stop" and I believe it will -- if all of us work to see that America no longer tolerates so-called "casual" users; and that drug dealers -- America's merchants of death -- get the penalties they deserve. So those are some of the promises we're keeping. Peace and prosperity. Good government. Progress toward excellence in education, a sound environment, and working to put a stop to drugs. But we've got many more promises to keep. Like ensuring that America has a, more flexible workforce to meet the challenges ahead. Finding new ways to encourage creative solutions in the workplace -- even encouraging work at home. And meeting the 8 pressing need for quality childcare -- unburdened by bureaucracy. One of the best ways to meet these challenges is through the efforts of concerned women like yourselves. We need leaders at all levels of government, who understand the changes before us. Leaders who can make those changes lead to positive results for men, women, and children all across America. Those of you gathered here today are putting that kind of leadership on the ballot. And while the NFRW is known for its success stories, I'd single out one of your members as symbolic of your achievements.

So when anyone tells you America is "de-industrializing," they've got it wrong. Pronounce it to them slowly, like I do: The word is "RE-industrializing." And stronger than ever, thanks to a Republican Party, and Republican policies, that continue to bring prosperity to all Americans. 5 Number Three: Good government. Two years ago I called for a "stronger sense of honor in public service, attracting people who want to make a contribution, not to make a buck." In the first months of this administration we've sent a very clear signal to all branches of government.

So we've sought out the best -- and our record of appointing talented and qualified women to important offices proves it.

Other Republican ideas -- to protect our forests, water, atmosphere, and irreplaceable habitats -- promise to make the 7 1990s an environmental decade: a new era for the careful stewardship of our precious natural resources. So those are some of the promises we've kept. Peace and prosperity. Good government. Progress toward excellence in education, and a sound environment. These are issues where we're taking action. Building a record to be proud of. Building an America we can be proud of. Earlier I mentioned the number of outstanding and talented women we've appointed to senior positions in this administration.

Part of a Republican Party that understands the American people -- that keeps its promises -- and that makes sure the American dream endures. So keep looking toward the future. By working together, we can make the next century the next American century -- and will build the kind of nation that future generations deserve to inherit. Thank you. God bless you.

Thank you, [Judy]. First, let me commend you for two years of outstanding leadership of the NFRW. [PAUSE] And I'd offer best wishes to your newly-elected President, Huda (HYOU-da) Jones. [PAUSE] Let me also offer my heartfelt respects to Helen Bentley and Connie Morella. We need more like them in Congress. [PAUSE] Ambassador Kirkpatrick; RNC Co-Chair Jeannie Austin; and all of you here today -- Barbara and I are delighted to be with you. You know, as much as I love it when Barbara and I travel together, I get the feeling -- at least with this crowd -- that most of that fantastic applause was, as it should have been, for Barbara. [PAUSE] [[ We're spending this long weekend up at Camp David. Most of you probably know that President Eisenhower named Camp David after his grandson. Well, not too long ago, a friend of my son Marvin's started lobbying me to change the name to Camp Marvin. I told him we Bushes do things democratically, and called all of the kids for a vote. It was a tie -- one vote for Camp Marvin one for Camp Neil one for Camp Jeb one for Camp George and one for Camp Doro. [PAUSE] 2 You know, the only member of the Bush clan who didn't speak on her own behalf was Millie. ]] Judging from the theme you've chosen for this conference -- "Meeting the Challenges of the 90s" -- your eyes are focused firmly on the future. But you're not just waiting for the future to happen. You're the kind of people who are doing something, right now, to make sure that the right voices are heard -- and the right decisions are made. You're working hard to elect and train the highest quality candidates for public service -- at all levels. Your Campaign Management Schools and Polling Schools provide the kind of advanced training that brings the best to the ballots -- election after election. So I want to begin by wishing you luck with your new nation- wide candidate recruiting program -- Project '90. I'd also congratulate you for your community service efforts like the "Caring for America" project. [[ You know, last week I said in a speech that I'm a practical man -- that I'm not much for the airy and abstract. A fellow came up to me later and said "Fine -- so explain the thousand points of light." " ]] Well, when I spoke of a "thousand points of light," you understood -- and you didn't hide your light under a bushel basket, or try to bury it in a bureaucracy. 3 No, you've brought that light into the open, turning an abstract ideal into a shining reality. Your brand of community service and coalition-building make an unbeatable combination. You're seeking out capable people, interested in public service -- and bringing their candidacies to life. 7 [[ In a way, I have to feel sorry for your opponents. They tend to come up with contenders that run the whole gamut from "A" to "B" Candidates about as inspiring as a speed bump 11 Many of you were in Orlando in the fall of 1987, when I spoke to your last Biennial Convention. That was just before I announced my candidacy for President. On that day I outlined five priorities that would shape this administration's work. Today I'm going to sketch out a picture of the progress we've made since then. But I want to tell you up front that this isn't "my" record I'm talking about -- it's our record. Every step we've taken in the White House, every initiative, every new idea, has gained momentum with your support. And with every step we take in the future -- whether it's working to improve education at the state level, or fighting to curb drug abuse -- I know you'll be right there with us. The victories you've won -- and will continue to win -- aren't just victories of one candidate over another. They represent the victory of a philosophy. The vindication of Republican ideas. And proof positive, that the Republican Party is the only party that delivers on its promises. Need one 4 sentectioned We promised America peace and prosperity -- and we're keeping that promise. So let's look at the record Denorap the Change Number One: Peace. Two years ago, meeting with you, I said huyulu I was for "extending our progress on arms control with a verifiable agreement to eliminate all chemical and biological weapons." I expect progress on START om Bold proposal to reduce drasticly comention forces. Just two weeks ago, before the United Nations General Assembly, I announced steps we're taking toward a treaty to ban -- eliminate -- all chemical weapons around the world, within ten years of signing that treaty. No, peace isn't breaking out all over -- but because of our policies, the potential for world peace may be greater now than ever before. Number Two: Prosperity. I told you two years ago I wanted to bring economic growth to all Americans, because "a job is the best anti-poverty program ever created." Well, we've just begun the 83rd month of uninterrupted economic growth -- a record- breaking recovery that has put more Americans to work, at better jobs, than ever before. In the two years since we last met, nearly half a million Black Americans have found jobs. This year Hispanic employment has reached an all-time high. And regions of America that were hardest-hit by the mis- guided economic policies of the late 1970s -- especially the Midwest -- are flourishing again today. 5 [[ But let's be fair. The policies of the late 1970s weren't ideas to be thrown aside lightly -- no, they were to be thrown aside with great force. ]] Number Three: Good government. Two years ago I called for a "stronger sense of honor in public service, attracting people who want to make a contribution, not to make a buck." In the first months of this administration we've sent a very clear signal to all branches of government. We've submitted Ethics legislation to level the playing field between the legislative and executive branches of government. We've also sent to the Congress comprehensive legislation to reform the way Congressional elections are financed. My proposals would enhance the role of the political parties, increase the role of the individual, and lessen the undue influence of special interests on elections. This legislation would also make Congressional elections more competitive. A 98.5 percent re-election rate in the House is unhealthy in a Democracy -- we need to give challengers a fairer shake in elections. Part of governing well is making sure that the best are chosen to serve. So we've sought out the best -- and our record of appointing talented and qualified women to important offices proves it. As of today, we've nominated or announced intent to nominate [86] women to Senate-confirmed senior positions in this administration. That's more women appointed in our first nine 6 months, than any previous administration managed in any given year. [PAUSE] And that's a great step toward good government. Number Four: Education. Two years ago I said I wanted to educate our children for the 21st Century. Well, as you know, a week and a half ago America's governors convened with an American President for the first time since 1933 -- this time, to undertake a major state-by-state effort to restructure our system of education. That summit wasn't a conclusion, of course -- it was a commencement: the beginning of a process, whose only and ultimate goal is excellence in American education. We seek national standards, flexibility, and accountability -- and together, in a spirit of cooperation and courage, we will make the grade. I'm especially proud of the efforts of one woman here today, who has made literacy her personal cause: your First Lady and mine, Barbara Bush. [PAUSE] Finally, Number Five: When I last saw you, I said I was for "making the protection of our environment a Republican issue again." But you know, we've done something even better than that. We've found new ways to move beyond partisanship in the battle against pollution. Earlier this year we brought people together from a wide range of perspectives -- Republicans and Democrats, environmentalists and industry leaders -- and offered new 7 proposals to stem acid rain, cut urban smog, clean up air toxics, and encourage the use of alternative fuels. With that first step, we've created momentum. Just this agreed on cuts in tailpipe emissions that had been a source of 300ml 3n week, a coalition of Republicans and Democrats in the House no contention for years -- new standards that will bring us another step closer to clean air. The subcommittee is now finishing work on the bill, and I fervently hope that we will have a new clean coupons air law within these next few months. So those are some of the promises we've kept. Peace and may notagree prosperity. Good government. Progress toward excellence in education, and a sound environment. But we've got many more promises to keep. Like ensuring that America has a more flexible workforce to meet the challenges ahead. Finding new ways to encourage creative solutions in the workplace -- even encouraging work at home. But especially, meeting the pressing need for quality childcare -- unburdened by centralized bureaucracy [insert from Porter to come]. These are issues where we're building a record to be proud of -- because we want to build an America we can be proud of. One of the best ways to meet these challenges is through the efforts of concerned women like yourselves. We need leaders at all levels of government, who understand the changes before us. Leaders who can make those changes lead to positive results for men, women, and children all across America. 8 Those of you gathered here today are putting that kind of leadership on the ballot. And while the NFRW is known for its success stories, I'd single out one of your members as symbolic of your achievements. She is young; Hispanic; a member of the National Federation of Republican Women -- and the only woman member of the United States Congress with young children. Her name is Ileana Ros- Lehtinen. [PAUSE] Like the NFRW itself, she symbolizes our understanding of the future. Like all of you, she is part of something profoundly important. Part of a Republican Party that understands the American people -- that keeps its promises -- and that makes sure the American dream endures. So keep looking toward the future. By working together, we can make the next century the next American century -- and will build the kind of nation that future generations deserve to inherit. Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America. ### 079064SS FROM Bobbie KILDOAG Document No. WHITE HOUSE STAFFING MEMORANDUM 10/4/89 DATE: ACTION/CONCURRENCE/COMMENT DUE BY: 10/5/89 2:00 PM SUBJECT: PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: NATIONAL FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN 1:20 ACTION FYI ACTION FYI VICE PRESIDENT MCCLURE SUNUNU NEWMAN SCOWCROFT PORTER wor king on the Stat.S DARMAN STUDDERT BATES N/C UNTERMEYER ROGERS BREEDEN CARD prob. wont comment WINSTON CICCONI PINKERTON Austin has them DEMAREST WRAY FITZWATER GRAY HAGIN REMARKS: Please forward any comments directly to Chriss Winston, Rm. 122, x2930, no later than 2:00 Thursday, October 5, with a copy to my office.

The policies of the late 1970s weren't ideas to be thrown aside lightly -- no, they were to be thrown aside with great force. ]] Since this recovery began, our industrial production has grown twice as fast as that in Europe -- faster than the industrial production of the Japanese. So when anyone tells you America is "de-industrializing," they've got it wrong. Pronounce it to them slowly, like I do: The word is "RE-industrializing." And stronger than ever, thanks to a Republican Party, and Republican policies, that continue to bring prosperity to all Americans. 5 Number Three: Good government. Two years ago I called for a "stronger sense of honor in public service, attracting people who want to make a contribution, not to make a buck." In the first months of this administration we've sent a very clear signal to all branches of government People of integrity may disagree on the issues facing government -- but government must have no doubt about the integrity of its people. It's very simple: The American people deserve good government -- and the Republican Party is making sure they get it. Part of governing well is making sure that the best are chosen to serve. So we've sought out the best -- and our record of appointing talented and qualified women to important offices proves it. 88 As of today, we've nominated or announced intent to nominate [86] women to Senate-confirmed senior positions in this administration.
