BRIEF REMARKS: SENATOR MURKOWSKI FUNDRAISER
THE WILLARD HOTEL
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1991
12 NOON
First of all, I'd like to say good morning to our supporters
joining us through the magic of television -- in Anchorage, with
Senator Ted Stevens and in Fairbanks, with Mr. Richard Wien. And
good afternoon to our friends here in Washington -- I understand
that many of you have traveled from all corners of America, from
New York and California, and of course, Alaska, in order to join
us. To anyone here I've missed, greetings. Your support means a
great deal to Frank. ( (He's touched, and, well
...
I'm sure
you've been, too.))
I'm here today to salute one of the key members of our team
on Capitol Hill, a public servant dedicated to the people of
Alaska, and a leader constantly seeking to build a better America
-- Senator Frank Murkowski. //
I need Frank in the Senate, and I need more people in
Congress like Frank
...
men and women who believe in growth and
opportunity for all Americans
elected leaders who are
committed to excellence at home and competitiveness abroad. Yes,
I need more Republicans in Congress -- and we need to keep the
good ones there we've already got. //
Frank just returned this week from Taiwan, Japan and Korea.
As Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and as
Ranking Member on the East Asian and Pacific Foreign Relations
2
Subcommittee, Frank understands better than most that we are a
Pacific nation -- Alaska is a Pacific state. He understands that
the future will be built upon engagement -- economic as well as
political -- with our Pacific allies.
Last weekend, I traveled to Pearl Harbor to commemorate that
"Day of Infamy" in 1941. Sadly, Pearl Harbor was a tragedy
brought about by the folly of isolationism. Today's neo-
isolationism and its economic accomplice -- protectionism -- are
just as dangerous now as they were fifty years ago.
The fact is, this country has enjoyed its most lasting
growth and security when we rejected isolationism -- both
political and economic -- in favor of engagement and leadership.
We are a Pacific nation. And next month in Asia, I'll discuss
with our Pacific friends and allies their responsibility to share
with us the challenges and burdens of leadership in the post-
Cold War world.
In today's world, American lives and American jobs, our
prosperity and our security, depend upon our ability to compete
and to lead. That's why I'm looking forward to our trip to Asia
in January -- to help open new markets for American products and
create new opportunities for American workers.
We feel the benefits of foreign trade right here at home --
and particularly in Alaska -- with its exports of timber, fish
and coal. It is important to acknowledge that last year alone,
total gross exports accounted for virtually all of this nation's
3
economic growth. So with a sluggish economy, we will continue to
do all we can to expand our markets overseas.
Speaking of our economy, it's no secret that some people are
having a tough go of it. I see that message in letters, and hear
it in conversations in communities I visit. While Congress is
home for the holidays, they'll probably be hearing that message,
too. I hope they listen closely. Because when I give the State
of the Union Address before Congress in January, I'll ask them to
put politics aside and take some important steps to create growth
and opportunity. I intend to propose a new economic growth
package to get this economy moving again.
Among the most important elements of what we've tried to get
acted upon these last three years is our plan to boost American
competitiveness -- through initiatives like our America 2000
Initiative for excellence in education; our job-creating
Transportation Strategy to efficiently move goods and services
between markets; our Civil Justice Reform plan to keep employers
in the factories and out of the courtrooms; and our National
Energy Strategy to cut our dependence on foreign oil.
Let me say a word about our Energy Strategy. Frank and I
remain committed to environmentally responsible access to ANWR.
((You know, the critics said years ago that the caribou would be
extinct because of the pipeline. Well, now there's so many
caribou they're rubbing up against the pipeline. // Next thing
you know, we'll see caribou wearing Murkowski buttons. //))
4
Let me close with this: I'm determined to get this economy
moving again. We've got to make the American Dream come alive
for all Americans. We've got to keep Frank Murkowski in the
Senate. With your help, we will.
Frank, keep up the good work. God bless each and every one
of you -- and thank you very much.

with our Pacific friends and allies their responsibility to share

In today's world, American lives and American jobs, our
prosperity and our security, depend upon our ability to compete

create new opportunities for American workers.
We feel the benefits of foreign trade right here at home --
and particularly in Alaska. I know Alaska exports timber, fish
and coal. Well, listen to this: last year alone, total gross
exports accounted for virtually all of this nation's economic
growth. So with a sluggish economy, we should be doing all we
can to expand our markets overseas.

Speaking of our economy, it's no secret that some people are
having a tough go of it. I hear that message in letters, and in
conversations in communities I visit. While Congress is home for
the holidays, they'll probably be hearing that message, too. I
hope they listen closely. Because when I give the State of the
Union Address before Congress in January, I'll ask them to put
politics aside and take some important steps to create growth and
opportunity. I intend to propose a new economic growth package
to get this economy moving again.
Among the most important elements of what we've tried to get
acted upon these last three years is our plan to boost American
competitiveness -- through initiatives like our America 2000
strategy for excellence in education; our job-creating
Transportation Strategy to efficiently move goods and services
between markets; our civil justice reform plan to keep employers
in the factories and out of the courtroom; and our National
Energy Strategy to cut our dependence on foreign oil.
Let me say a word about our Energy Strategy. Frank and I
remain committed to environmentally responsible access to ANWR.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1991
TIME?
First of all, I'd like to say good morning to our supporters
joining us through the miracle of television in Anchorage, with
Senator Ted Stevens and in Fairbanks, with Mr. Richard Wien. And
good afternoon to our friends here in Washington -- I understand
that many of you have traveled from all corners of America, from
New York and California, and of course, Alaska, in order to join
us. To anyone here I've missed, greetings. Your support means a
great deal to Frank. ( (He's touched, and, well
I'm sure
you've been, too.) )
I'm here today to salute one of the key members of our team
on Capitol Hill, a public servant dedicated to the people of
Alaska, and a leader constantly seeking to build a better America
-- Senator Frank Murkowski. ///
I need Frank in the Senate, and I need more people in
Congress like Frank
men and women who believe in growth and
opportunity for all Americans
elected leaders who are
committed to excellence at home and competitiveness abroad. Yes,
I need more Republicans in Congress -- and we need to keep the
good ones there we've already got. //
I hear that Frank just returned this week from Taiwan, Japan
and Korea. As Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee
and as Ranking Member on the East Asia subcommittee, Frank
understands better than most that we are a Pacific nation --

Alaska is a Pacific state. He understands that the future will
be built upon engagement -- economic as well as political -- with
our Pacific allies.
Last weekend, I traveled to Pearl Harbor to commemorate that
"Day of Infamy" in 1941. Sadly, Pearl Harbor was a tragedy
brought about by the folly of isolationism. Today's neo-
isolationism and its economic accomplice -- protectionism -- are
just as dangerous now as they were fifty years ago.
The fact is, this country has enjoyed its most lasting
growth and security when we rejected isolationism -- both
