PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: NAT'L REHABILITATION HOSPITAL FUNDRAISER AVENEL GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB, POTOMAC, MD MONDAY, MAY 6, 1991 6:15 P.M. -- It's probably a good thing that I couldn't join you on the links today -- it seems I spend more time in the sand than Lawrence of Arabia. // After I tee off, they don't have to replace the turf -- they have to re-turf the place. Actually, I won't tell you how deep my divots are -- but you're wrong if you think Richard Nixon had the first opening to China. // -- It's great to see so many of you supporting the National Rehabilitation Hospital. You know, they've been treating patients from across America and around the world for several years now - in fact, this year marks their fifth birthday. Congratulations! -- We all know what fun a day of golf can be -- they say that a bad day golfing is better than a good day at the office. // But let's not forget the serious work done at the hospital. They are restoring the quality of life to victims of spinal cord and brain injuries, as well as those suffering from strokes and arthritis. -- They've got a top-notch team over there -- in fact, the Hospital recently ranked as one of Top-10 rehab centers in the nation. Everyone here knows how crucial their work is -- and each of us wants to help -- so the Hospital can continue to make a difference in the lives of so many patients. -- Thanks to the vision of the Hospital's founder, Ed Eckenhoff, and the concern of Tournament Chairmen Sam Skinner and Dan Rostenkowski -- this great evening was possible. Thank you for your wonderful support. # # # Cawley/Grant May 3, 1991 a:golf - 1 PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: NAT'L REHABILITATION HOSPITAL FUNDRAISER AVENEL GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB, POTOMAC, MD MONDAY, MAY 6, 1991 6:15 P.M. -- It's probably a good thing that I couldn't join you on the links today -- it seems I spend more time in the sand than Lawrence of Arabia. // After I tee off, they don't have to replace the turf -- they have to re-turf the place. // Actually, I won't tell you how deep my divots are -- but you're wrong if you think Richard Nixon had the first opening to China. // -- It's great to see so many of you supporting the National Rehabilitation Hospital.
