Presidential Remarks
F-15 Announcement
R. HAASS, APPROVED
St. Louis Missouri
By BEN. Scowcroft.
- -DMcG 945A.M.
Thank you.
I am honored and delighted to be here at McDonnell Douglas -
- a world leader in technology and innovation. I'm glad to be
here in person -- to make an important announcement.
I have decided to notify Congress, to sell up to 72 of your
F-15's to the country of Saudi Arabia. 11
I know that the strength of this corporation extends far
beyond the steel you forge into planes and weapons. McDonnell
Douglas is a pillar of this great community, you have always
given back, and been a good neighbor.
I also am aware that the past few years have been difficult
for this company, as Americans have adjusted to the reality of a
new, more peaceful world. I know that many of you have been
anxious about what the future will bring -- and especially the
status of the F-15. You were undoubtedly hoping we would reach a
decision earlier.
I have been sensitive to the impact of this contract on your
production line, and your jobs. In these tough times, I want to
keep every American at work. But as Commander in Chief, I have a
responsibility for national security as well. I had to consider
the implications for military I stability in the Middle East,
preserving Israel's qualitative edge, the peace-making process,
and I the needs of Saudi Arabia I have worked on this issue
legitimate defense
and our ability to work closely
with SAUDI ARABIA, AS WE DID IN
OPERATION DESERT STORM AND AS WE
ARE Now DOING IN OPERATION SOUTHERN
WATCH.
2
personally, touching every base, and I am now satisfied that we
have adequately addressed each of these concerns and we can make
the sale.
In addition to the F-15, McDonnell Douglas produces one of
18
the most versatile combat aircraft -- the F/A
strike
fighter. We are not only procuring additional F-15's, we are
embarking on a program with McDonnell Douglas, to develop an
improved version of this plane -- the F-18 E/F. I want to make
clear -- I support full funding for the F-18 E/F.
The military technology that you produce, is the finest in
the entire world. It is a tribute to American skill and
innovation. It is the same skill and innovation that we must now
use to win the global economic competition. For those who have
any doubts, I would say only -- look at the talent that is
assembled here today. The American worker can still accomplish
great things.
Thank you McDonell Douglas. It is a pleasure and an honor
to be here.
