REAL ESTATE REPRESENTATIVES TALKING POINTS
ROOSEVELT ROOM
DECEMBER 2, 1991 / 10:00 A.M.
I'D LIKE TO THANK SECRETARY BRADY AND GOVERNOR
SUNUNU FOR ARRANGING THIS MEETING. I ALSO WANT
TO RECOGNIZE SECRETARY KEMP; JOHN ROBSON, DEPUTY
SECRETARY OF TREASURY; MICHAEL BOSKIN, CHAIRMAN
OF THE COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC ADVISORS; AND ROGER
PORTER, MY DOMESTIC POLICY ADVISOR. RECENTLY,
I'VE HAD MEETINGS WITH A WIDE RANGE OF BUSINESS
PEOPLE, INCLUDING CORPORATE CEO'S, BANKERS, AND
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, AND I'M PLEASED TO BE
HERE WITH YOU TODAY.
-2-
I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THE CURRENT LEVELS OF
ECONOMIC GROWTH. ALTHOUGH GNP BEGAN TO RISE
THIS SUMMER, WE NEED TO GENERATE MORE JOBS, MORE
GROWTH.
I RECOGNIZE THAT MANY OF YOU IN THE REAL ESTATE
INDUSTRY HAVE SUFFERED A GREAT DEAL DURING THE
RECESSION. THE AVAILABILITY OF CREDIT REMAINS A
MAJOR PROBLEM.
-3-
WE'VE WORKED FOR OVER A YEAR WITH REAL ESTATE
GROUPS AND WITH BANK REGULATORS ON STEPS TO
ENSURE THAT REGULATORY POLICY DOESN'T IMPEDE
CREDIT EXPANSION. AND I THINK OUR RECENT CREDIT
CRUNCH PROPOSALS WILL HELP.
IN THE HOMEBUILDING SECTOR, RECENT REPORTS SHOW
THAT NEW CONSTRUCTION AND EXISTING HOME SALES
ARE RISING. HOWEVER, THE PACE IS TOO SLOW.
BUT WE SHOULDN'T LOOK AT REAL ESTATE IN ISOLATION.
-4-
HOME EQUITY IS THE LARGEST ASSET FOR MOST
AMERICAN FAMILIES. REAL ESTATE PROBLEMS AFFECT
THOSE FAMILIES WEALTH AND SENSE OF WELL-BEING.
LOW HOME VALUES AFFECT THEIR WILLINGNESS TO
SPEND OR RISK MONEY IN INVESTMENTS. LOW REAL
ESTATE VALUES DEPRESS CONSUMER CONFIDENCE.
THIS IS TRUE OF THE COMMERCIAL REAL-ESTATE SECTOR
AS WELL. THE COMMERCIAL REAL-ESTATE SECTOR WON'T
FULLY RECOVER UNTIL THE ECONOMY PRODUCES MORE
TENANTS. WE NEED MORE WIDESPREAD ECONOMIC GROWTH.
-5-
A CAPITAL GAINS TAX CUT WOULD HELP. IT WOULD SPUR
INVESTMENT, CREATE JOBS, AND RAISE THE VALUE OF ALL
HOMES AND COMMERCIAL PROJECTS. THE OTHER ELEMENTS
OF OUR PACKAGE WOULD HELP BOLSTER THE ECONOMY,
INCLUDING OUR FAMILY SAVINGS AND IRA PROPOSALS.
UNFORTUNATELY, CONGRESS HAS SPENT THREE YEARS
BLOCKING MY GROWTH PACKAGE.
I'M SURE YOU'VE BEEN DISCUSSING WITH GOVERNOR
SUNUNU, SECRETARY BRADY, AND CHAIRMAN BOSKIN THE
RENEWED PUSH WE WILL GIVE OUR PROGRAM TO PROMOTE
ECONOMIC EXPANSION.
