[RADIO] PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: RADIO ADDRESS TO BE TAPED APRIL 16, 1992 8:15 A.M. This past week, I spent some time in the town of Fraser, Michigan. I met with workers at a major machine tool factory, and talked with them and local business leaders about a program I call Job Training 2000. Thursday, I was in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley -- one of the first communities to take up our America 2000 crusade to revolutionize this nation's schools. In Michigan and in Pennsylvania, I, announced specific legislative proposals -- initiatives aimed at helping people with two of the real building blocks of opportunity: advancing their education and sharpening their job skills. If acted on by Congress, these initiatives will make a real impact on the way people live -- not just in Fraser and in Allentown -- but all across America. Let me start with a concept I call the Lifetime Education and Training Account -- a package of grants and line of credit worth at least $25,000 dollars to every eligible American, to use to further their education or acquire new job skills to make the most of their abilities. It's a new way of thinking about an old idea known as "student aid" -- and it's based on this simple fact: Education doesn't end with graduation. How will this Lifetime Education Account help real families? Think of a single mother: struggling to balance her 2 responsibility for her family and for her job -- against her own hopes for the future. Her dream is to set aside one night a week -- and take one college course at a time. But money's tight, and under present federal rules as a part-time student -- she doesn't qualify for the grant or loan that would help pay tuition. That just doesn't make sense. Here's a woman willing to work hard to better herself -- stopped short by a program that works against her. With our lifetime line of credit, all that would change. The woman would be able to go to school -- bring that distant dream another day closer. When government can help people help themselves -- that's the kind of government we need. The other proposal I announced was a new Apprenticeship Initiative -- a companion program to our Job Training 2000. To see what kind of difference this initiative can make, take that same family -- the working Mother I mentioned earlier, this time with a 17-year-old son, a senior in high school. He's made the decision that it's time for him to enter the working world, to help out by bringing home a paycheck. Right now, he faces a tough choice -- juggling school and a job. He's trying to do both -- and both are suffering. He doesn't want to close the door on college -- but he's feeling pressure to drop out. Our Youth Apprentice Act can help that young man stay in school, keep his job -- and keep his options open. It will let him sit down with his school and his employer -- put together a course of study and a job schedule that will keep him on track 3 for graduation. Later on, if that young man wants to change careers or go to college, he's got a skill certificate to show future employers -- and a diploma that really means something. Each one of these initiatives begins with the same question: What can government do to open the doors of opportunity to every American? As President, I've made it my mission to preserve and advance three legacies close to all our hearts: a world at peace. An economy with good jobs. A nation of strong families. / The initiatives I've talked about today can help Americans make those legacies their own. // Thank you for listening today -- and as so many of you celebrate Passover or prepare for Easter Sunday, may God bless the United States of America. # # # 322113SS Document No. WHITE HOUSE STAFFING MEMORANDUM 4/15/92 4:00PM, TODAY, APR. 15 DATE: ACTION/CONCURRENCE/COMMENT DUE BY: PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: RADIO ADDRESS SUBJECT: APRIL 16, 1992 8:15AM ACTION FYI ACTION FYI VICE PRESIDENT HORNER SKINNER MCBRIDE SCOWCROFT MOORE DARMAN PETERSMEYER BRADY PORTER w BROMLEY ROGICH N/C CALIO N/C ROLLINS N/C DEMAREST SMITH N/C YEUTTER FITZWATER GRAY 2896 neisonlund N/C KAUFMAN FINDLAY HOLIDAY MCGROARTY REMARKS: Please provide comments on the attached directly to Dan McGroarty, Rm. 122, x2930, with a copy to this office NO LATER THAN 4:00PM, TODAY!!, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15.

The young woman is not sure if she wants to go to college, but she is sure she needs to make some money to help out at home. She wants the work she does and the rest of the time she spends in high school to make her ready for a good paying skilled job and or able to do her best in college. No low-wage dead end job for this ambitious young woman. Right now, she is facing tough choices and juggling school and work. She can't do both well and both are suffering. She wants to keep the possibility of college open but is under pressure to drop out of high school. Our Youth Apprentice Act initiative can help her stay in school, work and keep her options open. She can sit down with an employer committed to helping young people prepare for high skilled jobs, with her school, which is committed to tailoring her last two years of high school so she can get both a high school degree and a certificate of workplace and job skill competency, and with her mom, who will help her work it all out. She gets a high quality high school education, valuable work experience, needed pay, training in a good paying occupation, and the opportunity to continue on the payroll of this employer, show other employers her documented skills, or go to college. 322113SS Documer WHITE HOUSE STAFFING MEMORANDUM 92 APR 15 P6: 10 4/15/92 4:00PM, TODAY, APR. 15 DATE: ACTION/CONCURRENCE/COMMENT DUE BY: PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: RADIO ADDRESS SUBJECT: APRIL 16, 1992 8:15AM ACTION FYI ACTION FYI VICE PRESIDENT HORNER SKINNER MCBRIDE SCOWCROFT MOORE DARMAN PETERSMEYER BRADY PORTER BROMLEY ROGICH CALIO ROLLINS DEMAREST SMITH YEUTTER FITZWATER KAUFMAN GRAY FINDLAY HOLIDAY MCGROARTY REMARKS: Please provide comments on the attached directly to Dan McGroarty, Rm. 122, x2930, with a copy to this office NO LATER THAN 4:00PM, TODAY!!, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15.

[RADIO] PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: RADIO ADDRESS TO BE TAPED APRIL 16, 1992 8:15 A.M. This past week, I spent some time in the town of Fraser, Michigan. I met with workers at a major machine tool factory, and talked with them and local business leaders about a program I call Job Training 2000. Thursday, I was in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley -- one of the first communities to take up our America 2000 crusade to revolutionize this nation's schools. In Michigan and in Pennsylvania, I announced specific proposals -- legislative initiatives aimed at helping people with two of the real building blocks of opportunity: advancing their education and sharpening their job skills. If acted on by Congress, these initiatives will make a real impact on the way people live -- not just in Fraser and in Allentown -- but all across America. Let me start with a concept I call the Lifetime Education and Training Account -- a package of grants and line of credit worth at least $25,000 dollars to every eligible American, to use to further their education or acquire new job skills to make the most of their abilities. It's a new way of thinking about an old idea known as "student aid" -- and it's based on this simple fact: Education doesn't end with graduation. 2 How will this Lifetime Education Account help real families? Think of a single mother: struggling to balance her responsibility for her family and for her job -- against her own hopes for the future. Her dream is to set aside one night a week -- and take one college course at a time. But money's tight, and under present federal rules as a part-time student -- she doesn't qualify for the grant or loan that would help pay tuition. That just doesn't make sense. Here's a woman willing to work hard to better herself -- stopped short by a program that works against her. With our lifetime line of credit, all that would change. The woman would be able to go to school -- bring that distant dream another day closer. When government can help people help themselves -- that's the kind of government we need. The other proposal I announced was a new Apprenticeship Initiative -- a companion program to our Job Training 2000. To see what kind of difference this initiative can make, take that same family -- the working Mother I mentioned earlier, this time with a 17-year-old son, a senior in high school. He's made the decision that it's time for him to enter the working world, to help out by bringing home a paycheck. Right now, he faces a tough choice -- juggling school and a job. He's trying to do both -- and both are suffering. He doesn't want to close the door on college -- but he's feeling pressure to drop out. Our Youth Apprentice Act can help that young man stay in school, keep his job -- and keep his options open. It will let 3 him sit down with his school and his employer -- put together a course of study and a job schedule that will keep him on track for graduation. Later on, if that young man wants to change careers or go to college, he's got a skill certificate to show future employers -- and a diploma that really means something.
