It's wonderful to join the Cincinnati Youth Collaborative and the local broadcasters in bringing you this unique program. Most "tele-thons" ask for money. This evening's "Future-thon" asks for something far more valuable. They're asking you to make a difference in your schools by volunteering. The Cincinnati Youth Collaborative has a clear and ambitious goal -- to give Cincinnati's youth the training, knowledge, motivation, and work habits they need to reach their potential. That's something in which we must all become involved -- because each and every one of us has something to teach a young mind. A few weeks ago, I visited Taft High School, where the C-Y-C is housed and saw first-hand what they've accomplished. Through tutoring and mentoring programs, students are given the guidance, and the direction they need to help reach their potential. Mentors come from all backgrounds and experiences, but they're all united in their love of education, and their hope to make a difference. But, they need your help. This evening, volunteer in your neighborhood schools. Offer to lend a hand -- be one of the "points of light" I like to talk about. Not only will the youth of Cincinnati be enriched, but so will you. Thank you. Enjoy this wonderful program, and God bless you all.

Not only will the lives of those you help be enriched -- so will yours. # # # Tron January 8, 1989 Draft two Title: STROM PROPOSED VIDEO MESSAGE THURMOND FOR SENATE TV COMMERCIAL mont A Strom Thurmond is more than a US Senator. He's one of the great men in America's history. And the force of his clear thinking and courage has never been felt more in Washington than today. But to me, what's special about Strom's life is that he has always been dedicated to serving others. South Carolina can't afford to give up his seniority. I count on his experience and counsel. That's why Barbara and I, and the whole Bush family are on Strom Thurmond's team all the way. # # # Sheehan Draft two 1/8/89 JAG PROPOSED VIDEO MESSAGE: FOR JOBS FOR AMERICA'S GRADUATES As a former member of the Board of Directors of Jobs for America's Graduates, I am particularly pleased to introduce this presentation on the successes and the opportunities offered by this fine program.

It's wonderful to join the Cincinnati Youth Collaborative and the local broadcasters in bringing you this unique program. Most "thons" ask for money. This evening's "Future-thon" asks for something far more valuable. They're asking you to make a difference in your schools by volunteering. The Cincinnati Youth Collaborative has a clear and ambitious goal -- to give Cincinnati's youth the training, knowledge, motivation, and work habits they need to reach their potential. That's something in which we must all become involved -- because each and every one of us has something to teach a young mind. A few weeks ago, I visited Taft High School, where the C-Y-C is housed and saw first-hand what they've accomplished. Through tutoring and mentoring programs, students are given the guidance, and the direction they need to help reach their potential. Mentors come from all backgrounds and experiences but they're all united in their love of education, and their nope to make a difference. But, they need your help. This evening, volunteer in your neighborhood schools. Offer to lend a hand -- be one of the "points of light" I like to talk about. Not only will the youth of Cincinnati be enriched, but so will you. Thank you. Enjoy this wonderful program, and God bless you all.

He's one of the great men in America's history. And the force of his clear thinking and courage has never been felt more in Washington than today. But to me, what's special about Strom's life is that he has always been dedicated to serving others. South Carolina can't afford to give up his seniority. I count on his experience and counsel. That's why Barbara and I, and the whole Bush family are on Strom Thurmond's team all the way. # # # Sheehan Draft two 1/8/89 JAG PROPOSED VIDEO MESSAGE: 90 FOR JOBS FOR AMERICA'S GRADUATES As a former member of the Board of Directors of Jobs for America's Graduates, I am particularly pleased to introduce this presentation on the successes and the opportunities offered by this fine program. JAG is one of the most successful school-to-work transition programs for at-risk youth in this nation -- achieving an impressive 91% graduation rate. JAG has demonstrated that America can make major improvements in the outcome of public education. What makes JAG work is a joint commitment: business, government, education, labor and community leaders working together -- taking on personal responsibility for the success of each and every student. shared I have met with the young people of Jobs for America's Graduates during my travels across this great country. I have talked to governors, school administrators, business leaders and so many others who have told me just how important JAG has been in improving the chances for our at-risk young people to get and keep a good job upon leaving school. So, be what I call a point of light. Look into ways you can help JAG tackle one of our nation's most important priorities: the successful transition from school to work (fr of one of our most important resources, America's young people.
