TRANQUILITY." THIS I KNOW: WE CAN NEVER CONDONE
VIOLENCE -- BECAUSE WITHOUT PEACE, THERE CAN BE NO
HOPE. //
ALL OF US ARE GRATEFUL THAT OUR ACTIONS HAVE
BROUGHT CALM TO LOS ANGELES. KIDS ARE BACK IN SCHOOL;

BY THE VIOLENCE - -- PERSONAL GRANTS UP TO $11,500 TO
MEET URGENT NEEDS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING AND MEDICINE.

Presidential Remarks:
ANPA Teleconference
Wednesday, May 6, 1992
1:45 P.M.
Thank you for that warm welcome. Thank you Bob [Robert
Erburu, A.N.P.A. Chairman] for those kind words. Happy
anniversary to Cathy Black -- A.N.P.A. CEO and President -- for
finishing up your first year. I'd like to congratulate your
incoming chairman -- Frank Bennack [BAN-ACK] who takes the gavel
soon for the A.N.P.A. and the new N.A.A. It's good to be here
with all of you again -- this time via SBS6.
[Let me begin with a brief update on events in Los Angeles.
All of us are grateful that calm has replaced chaos. Tomorrow
I'll be out on the west coast -- getting a first-hand look at the
situation in Los Angeles. I'll be listening to members of the
community -- for ideas on how we'll begin the work of building a
future of hope, understanding and tolerance -- a future where
there's no room for hatred.
After last week's shock and spectacle, we take heart at the
sheer will-power of the people of Los Angeles -- who have joined
hands and hearts to mend their community. That's a story I know
everyone of us wants to see.]
Through our newspapers we talk to one another here -- even
in other hemispheres. Henry Luce became a journalist "to come as
close as possible to the heart of the world." Your Chronicles,
Ledgers, and Gazettes bring the world to our doorstep -- some
2
everyday. The more we read about events across the globe, the
less foreign the international page becomes.
Our world has changed dramatically since I spoke to you
three years ago. Think of the front page stories in the past
year alone: The return of Terry Anderson and our Hostages. The
death of Imperial Communism. The birth of eighteen new nations.
In my time as President, I have made it my mission to
preserve and protect three legacies close to our all our hearts:
A world at peace. A nation of strong families -- sturdy values
of character. An economy with good jobs -- real opportunity for
all Americans.
There is good news on the economic front for instance, right
here in your own industry there are signs of recovery. But, the
story is simply this: in the new world economy, trade means jobs.
Americans are working and getting ahead because American goods
and services are selling abroad. From fiber optics in Italy to
fast food in China, more and more people are buying American.
No doubt, a trading nation is a working nation. Last year
alone we exported over $420 billion in goods. That's a lot of
everything. And that means a lot of U.S. jobs. Every billion
dollars in exports we manufacture supports 20,000 jobs. That's
good news. Illinois has about 410,000 trade related jobs;
170,000 in Minnesota and in Wisconsin 196,000 jobs tied to trade.
America's manufacturing exports are more competitive than a
decade ago -- American labor is more productive. It's no wonder
our exports shot up seven percent in February to a one month
3
record high of nearly $38 billion. The U.S. is the leading
exporter in the world -- and we're not done yet.
To reach our true potential, we must open new markets at
home and abroad. American to American, we're talking about ideas
that challenge conventional wisdom -- to not only compete in the
new world economy, but lead the way. Even more -- nation to
nation, we're working to break down trade barriers through GATT
and the North American Free Trade Agreement. That means new
markets, new buyers, new jobs and higher living standards for all
Americans -- and for citizens of every country who buy our
products and services.
Trade is a bright spot on the economic front -- that is
changing our country, moving us forward. I'll keep working to
bring change to the country that has changed the world.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your 106th convention.
Now for the tough part: I'll take a couple of questions. Fire
away.

close as possible to the heart of the world." Your Chronicles,
Ledgers, and Gazettes bring the world to our doorstep -- some
2
everyday. The more we read about events across the globe, the
less foreign the international page becomes.
Our world has changed dramatically since I spoke to you
three years ago. Think of the front page stories in the past
year alone: The return of Terry Anderson and our Hostages. The
death of Imperial Communism. The birth of eighteen new nations.
In my time as President, I have made it my mission to
preserve and protect three legacies close to our all our hearts:
A world at peace. A nation of strong families -- sturdy values
of character. An economy with good jobs -- real opportunity for
all Americans.
There is good news on the economic front for instance, right
here in your own industry there are signs of recovery. But, the
story is simply this: in the new world economy, trade means jobs.
Americans are working and getting ahead because American goods
and services are selling abroad. From fiber optics in Italy to
fast food in China, more and more people are buying American.
No doubt, a trading nation is a working nation. Last year
alone we exported over $420 billion in goods. That's a lot of
everything. And that means a lot of U.S. jobs. Every billion
dollars in exports we manufacture supports 20,000 jobs. That's
good news. Illinois has about 410,000 trade related jobs;
170,000 in Minnesota and in Wisconsin 196,000 jobs tied to trade.
America's manufacturing exports are more competitive than a
decade ago -- American labor is more productive. It's no wonder
our exports shot up seven percent in February to a one month
3
record high of nearly $38 billion. The U.S. is the leading
exporter in the world -- and we're not done yet.
To reach our true potential, we must open new markets at
home and abroad. American to American, we're talking about ideas
that challenge conventional wisdom -- to not only compete in the
new world economy, but lead the way. Even more -- nation to
nation, we're working to break down trade barriers through GATT
and the North American Free Trade Agreement. That means new
markets, new buyers, new jobs and higher living standards for all
Americans -- and for citizens of every country who buy our
products and services.
Trade is a bright spot on the economic front -- that is
changing our country, moving us forward. I'll keep working to
bring change to the country that has changed the world.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your 106th convention.
Now for the tough part: I'll take a couple of questions. Fire
away.

Presidential Remarks:

Wednesday, May 6, 1992
1:45 P.M.
Thank you for that warm welcome. Thank you Bob [Robert
Erburu, A.N.P.A. Chairman] for those kind words. Happy
anniversary to Cathy Black -- A.N.P.A. CEO and President -- for
finishing up your first year. I'd like to congratulate your new
chairman -- Frank Bennack [BAN-ACK] who just took the gavel for
the A.N.P.A. and the new N.A.A. It's good to be here with all of
you again -- this time via satellite.
Before I. take your questions, let me provide a brief update
on events in Los Angeles. As I think back today to what I said
last Friday evening, I think of the oath I took as President --
the Constitution's charge to "ensure domestic tranquility." This
I know: We can never condone violence -- because without peace,
there can be no hope. //
All of us are grateful that calm has replaced chaos. Kids
are back in school; city buses are running, the curfew is lifted.
After last week's shock and spectacle, we take heart at the will-
power of the people of Los Angeles -- who have joined hands and
hearts to mend their community.
Let me focus for a moment on what we're doing at the federal
level to help in the rebuilding. Through my Presidential
Disaster declaration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency --
FEMA -- will make assistance available to individuals, families,
and the City and County of Los Angeles. A preliminary estimate
of this assistance is $225 million.
Grants will be made directly to people hit hardest by the
violence -- personal grants up to $11,500 to meet urgent needs
like food, clothing and medicine. Our grants will also help with
temporary housing -- money for minimal damage repair to homes, or
money -- up to 18 months -- to provide shelter for a family who
lost their home. We're also helping with crisis counseling and
disaster unemployment assistance for those who are now without
jobs as a result of the disaster.
A disaster field office is already up and running in Los
Angeles, and FEMA's 800 assistance number is ready to receive
calls in English, Spanish, Chinese, Thai, Korean and Laotian.
In addition, FEMA will assist the public sector -- to repair
and restore public utilities like water and electricity --
essential to every day life.
Beyond these emergency grants: we will provide low-interest
Small Business Administration disaster loans -- up to $500,000
for business losses that exceed insurance coverage, up to
$100,000 to homeowners and renters for damage not covered by
insurance. Preliminary estimates indicate that over $300 million
in loans will be made in the Los Angeles area.
All told, Federal Aid to speed the recovery process in Los
Angeles could be as much as $600 million.
Tonight I'll go to the west coast -- to get a first-hand
look at the situation in Los Angeles. I'll be listening to
members of the community -- for ideas on how we'll begin the work
of building a future of hope, understanding and tolerance -- a
future where there's no room for hatred. That's a story I know
everyone of us wants to see in print.
Let me say this about the desire all Americans share to see
that what happened in Los Angeles never happens again. We all
want to solve the problems. But this is no time to play the
blame game. It's time for honest talk -- not simple slogans
about "12 years of neglect." The fact is, in the past decade,
spending is up, the number of programs are up -- and yet that
hasn't solved many of the fundamental problems that plague our
cities.
We need an honest, open national discussion -- about family,
about values, about public policy -- and about race. That's the
only way forward -- and that's what I intend to do in the days
ahead.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your 106th convention.
Now I'll take a couple of questions. Fire away.

The story today is simply this: in the new world economy,
trade means jobs. Americans are working and getting ahead
because American goods and services are selling abroad. From
fiber optics in Italy to fast food in China, more and more people
are buying American.
For every billion dollars in exports we manufacture, 20,000
jobs are created. That's good news to Illinois -- about 410,000
trade related jobs; Wyoming 380,000 jobs; 170,000 in Minnesota
and in Wisconsin 196,000 jobs tied to trade. America's
manufacturing exports are more competitive than a decade ago --
American labor is more productive. It's no wonder our exports
shot up seven percent in February to a one month record high of
nearly $38 billion.
No doubt, a trading nation is a working nation. Last year
alone we exported over $420 billion in goods. That's a lot of
everything -- especially jobs. The U.S. is the leading exporter
in the world -- and we're not done yet.
To reach our true potential, we must open new markets at
home and abroad. American to American, we're talking about ideas
that challenge conventional wisdom -- to not only compete in the

higher living standards for all Americans -- and for citizens of
every country who buy our products and services.
Trade is a bright spot on the economic front -- that is
changing our country, moving us forward. I'll keep working to
bring change to the country that has changed the world.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your 106th convention.

replaced chaos. Kids are back in school; city buses are running,
the curfew is lifted. After last week's shock and spectacle, we
take heart at the will-power of the people of Los Angeles -- who
have joined hands and hearts to mend their community.

to Cathy Black -- ANPA CEO and President -- for finishing up your
first year. I'd like to congratulate your incoming chairman --
Frank Bennack [BAN-ACK] who takes the gavel soon for the ANPA and

Henry Luce became a journalist "to come as close as possible
to the heart of the world." Your Chronicles, Ledgers, and
Gazettes bring the world to our doorstep -- everyday. Through
newspapers, a nation talks to itself and the world. The more we
read about events across the globe, the less foreign the
international page becomes.
Our world has changed dramatically since I spoke to you
three years ago. Think of the front page stories in the past
year alone: The return of Terry Anderson and our Hostages. The
death of Imperial Communism. The birth of eighteen new nations.
In my time as President, I have made it my mission to
preserve and protect three legacies close to our all our hearts:
2
A world at peace. A nation of strong families -- sturdy values
of character. An economy with good jobs -- real opportunity for
all Americans.
The story today is simply this: in the new world economy,
trade means jobs. Americans are working and getting ahead
because American goods and services are selling abroad. From
fiber optics in Italy to fast food in China, more and more people
are buying American.
For every billion dollars in exports we manufacture, 20,000
jobs are created. That's good news to Illinois -- about 410,000
trade related jobs; Wyoming 380,000 jobs; 170,000 in Minnesota
and in Wisconsin 196,000 jobs tied to trade. America's
manufacturing exports are more competitive than a decade ago --
American labor is more productive. It's no wonder our exports
shot up seven percent in February to a one month record high of
nearly $38 billion.
No doubt, a trading nation is a working nation. Last year
alone we exported over $420 billion in goods. That's a lot of
everything -- especially jobs. The U.S. is the leading exporter
in the world -- and we're not done yet.
To reach our true potential, we must open new markets at
home and abroad. American to American, we're talking about ideas
that challenge conventional wisdom -- to not only compete in the
new world economy, but lead the way. Even more -- nation to
nation, we're working to break down trade barriers through GATT
and NAFTA. That means new markets, new buyers, new jobs and
3
higher living standards for all Americans -- and for citizens of
every country who buy our products and services.
Trade is a bright spot on the economic front -- that is
changing our country, moving us forward. I'll keep working to
bring change to the country that has changed the world.

death of Imperial Communism. The birth of eighteen new nations.
In my time as President, I have made it my mission to
preserve and protect three legacies close to our all our hearts:
2
A world at peace. A nation of strong families -- sturdy values
of character. An economy with good jobs -- real opportunity for
all Americans.
The story today is simply this: in the new world economy,
trade means jobs. Americans are working and getting ahead
because American goods and services are selling abroad. From
fiber optics in Italy to fast food in China, more and more people
are buying American.
For every billion dollars in exports we manufacture, 20,000
jobs are created. That's good news to Illinois -- about 410,000
trade related jobs; Wyoming 380,000 jobs; 170,000 in Minnesota
and in Wisconsin 196,000 jobs tied to trade. America's
manufacturing exports are more competitive than a decade ago --
American labor is more productive. It's no wonder our exports
shot up seven percent in February to a one month record high of
nearly $38 billion.
No doubt, a trading nation is a working nation. Last year
alone we exported over $420 billion in goods. That's a lot of
everything -- especially jobs. The U.S. is the leading exporter
in the world -- and we're not done yet.
To reach our true potential, we must open new markets at
home and abroad. American to American, we're talking about ideas
that challenge conventional wisdom -- to not only compete in the
new world economy, but lead the way. Even more -- nation to
nation, we're working to break down trade barriers through GATT
and NAFTA. That means new markets, new buyers, new jobs and
3
higher living standards for all Americans -- and for citizens of
every country who buy our products and services.
Trade is a bright spot on the economic front -- that is
changing our country, moving us forward. I'll keep working to
bring change to the country that has changed the world.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your 106th convention.
Now for the tough part: I'll take a couple of questions. Fire
away.

Thank you for that warm welcome. Thank you Bob [Robert

finishing up your first year. I'd like to congratulate your new
chairman -- Frank Bennack [BAN-ACK] who just took the gavel for
the A.N.P.A. and the new N.A.A. It's good to be here with all of
you again -- this time via satellite.
Before I take your questions, let me provide a brief update

In addition, FEMA will assist the public sector -- to repair

for business losses that exceed insurance coverage, up to
$100,000 to homeowners and renters for damage not covered by
insurance. Preliminary estimates indicate that over $300 million
in loans will be made in the Los Angeles area.
All told, Federal Aid to speed the recovery process in Los
Angeles could be as much as $600 million.
Tonight I'll go to the west coast -- to get a first-hand
look at the situation in Los Angeles. I'll be listening to
members of the community - for ideas on how we'll begin the work

of building a future of hope, understanding and tolerance -- a
future where there's no room for hatred. That's a story I know
everyone of us wants to see in print.
Let me say this about the desire all Americans share to see
that what happened in Los Angeles never happens again. We all
want to solve the problems. But this is no time to play the
blame game. It's time for honest talk -- not simple slogans
about "12 years of neglect." The fact is, in the past decade,
spending is up, the number of programs are up -- and yet that
hasn't solved many of the fundamental problems that plague our
cities.
We need an honest, open national discussion -- about family,
about values, about public policy -- and about race. That's the
only way forward -- and that's what I intend to do in the days
ahead.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your 106th convention.
Now I'll take a couple of questions. Fire away.
