PROPOSED VIDEO MESSAGE FOR THE NORTHWOOD INSTITUTE
Good Evening. I'm sorry I couldn't be with you tonight but
I understand you have a very special guest -- Mrs. Quayle.
For 30 years, Northwood Institute has carried on the fine
traditions of its founders Dr. Arthur Turner and Dr. Gary
Staffer. Those two men had and idea. They believed that in the
business world there is a need for young men and women to be
educated with a proper balance of business and the arts. That
approach to learning laid the foundation for Northwoods growth
into a great institution. Today. thousands of companies hire
Northwood graduates and those employers will tell you that
Northwood graduates contribute more than their management skills
-- they benefit the communities where they live.
Tonight you honor some of Northwood's best -- the
Outstanding Business Leaders of Northwood Institute. The award
winners truly exemplify the great American private
entrepreneurial spirit and the kind of business and industry
leaders that make America great. Congratulations to the award
winners tonight and let me say we are all proud of Northwood.
God bless you all.

PROPOSED VIDEO MESSAGE
NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR THE HANDICAPPED
Imagine our world through the eyes of people with
disabilities. Imagine facing the hazards of a staircase in a
wheelchair or not being able to hear me speak without the aid of
special audio equipment. For most of us, imagination is the only
way to truly understand what life is like for the over 40 million
Americans with disabilities.
For too long, those with disabilities were ignored, pitied
or discriminated against. Although we've made great progress in
altering attitudes and physical barriers toward these Americans,
more work needs to be done. At the federal level, we can and
will change policies needed to help change attitudes. But, true
and lasting changes in attitudes will only come with the help and
cooperation of every individual, business, school, and government
agency.
And it's programs like the one you're about to see that will
help foster this change in attitude. As you watch this show, try
to see the world through the eyes of those Americans with
disabilities. And imagine one more thing: a world that doesn't
see Americans with disabilities -- only wonderful possibilities.
And only then will they be freely and equally incorporated into
the mainstream of American life.
Thank you, God bless you all and enjoy this important
program.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SECONDARY SCHOOL PRINCIPALS
Thank you for including me in the 74th convention of the
National Association of Secondary School Principals.
I'm reminded of a quote that describes a school as "four
walls containing the future." That's accurate and sums up your
job. You are the leaders of our schools. You set the tone, the
expectations, and spark commitment from your students and
teachers. And for that leadership I congratulate each and every
one of you.
While yours is not an easy job, it's an essential one. Most
of the challenges facing society today in some way touch our
schools. But schools are also the greatest hope for solving
these challenges -- to move our nation and other nations forward.
That's why your leadership, your dedication, and your motivation
are so important.
While we've gone a long way toward giving each student an
opportunity to reach their fullest potential, we can do more.
That's why we've proposed the Education Excellence Act to
encourage excellence, accountability, flexibility and choice in
our schools and why our new budget proposes a record high for
education. But real change in our schools will come not from
Washington but from the involvement of people who care at the
local level. So challenge your students and convince them that
2
studying is an investment in their future. Challenge your
teachers to take that extra step for their students. Encourage
parents to volunteer and be "points of light" by becoming
involved in your schools. And demand that your communities give
you the support and respect you deserve.
Thank you for including me in this year's convention.
Barbara joins me in commending all the principals and assistant
principals for your tireless work to provide each student with
the best possible education. Have a great convention, and God
bless you all.

I understand you have a very special guest -- Mrs. Quayle.
For 30 years, Northwood Institute has carried on the fine
traditions of its founders Dr. Arthur Turner and Dr. Gary
Staffer. Those two men had and idea. They believed that in the
business world there is a need for young men and women to be
educated with a proper balance of business and the arts. That
approach to learning laid the foundation for Northwoods growth
into a great institution. Today, thousands of companies hire
Northwood graduates and those employers will tell you that
Northwood graduates contribute more than their management skills
-- they benefit the communities where they live.
Tonight you honor some of Northwood's best -- the

PROPOSED VIDEO MESSAGE
NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR THE HANDICAPPED
Imagine our world through the eyes of people with
disabilities. Imagine facing the hazards of a staircase in a
wheelchair or not being able to hear me speak without the aid of
special audio equipment. For most of us, imagination is the only
way to truly understand what life is like for the over 40 million
Americans with disabilities.
For too long, those with disabilities were ignored, pitied
or discriminated against. Although we've made great progress in
altering attitudes and physical barriers toward these Americans,
more work needs to be done. At the federal level, we can and
will change policies needed to help change attitudes. But, true
and lasting changes in attitudes will only come with the help and
cooperation of every individual, business, school, and government
agency.
And it's programs like the one you're about to see that will
help foster this change in attitude. As you watch this show, try
to see the world through the eyes of those Americans with
disabilities. And imagine one more thing: a world that doesn't
see Americans with disabilities -- only wonderful possibilities.
And only then will they Truly be freely and equally incorporated into
