MARRIOTT HOTEL 9:00 AM (Acknowledgments) Thank you, Josh Smith, for that introduction, and thank you all for inviting me here today. I want to talk a bit about the concerns we all share -- about America's future -- about the choice we face in shaping that future. The great task before us is clear: with the end of the Cold War, America must win the new global economic competition. We must win the peace -- for only then will we keep the promise of opportunity that is the birthright of every American. Governor Clinton and I offer very different choices, based on very different philosophies, borne of different experience. As a man who has spent all his life in government, my opponent believes government -- a Washington elite of policy professors and planners -- should take the lead in shaping the economy, "investing" your money more wisely than you can. Well, that's not the way I see it. Like so many of you, I've spent much of my life in business -- built one from the ground up // met a payroll // created jobs. I happen to think that's a pretty good qualification for being President of the United States. // 2 I learned what makes an economy grow. It's not government planners -- it's not the people who take your taxes and spend them for you. You make an economy grow -- ordinary men and women with the extraordinary dreams -- who have the grit to make those dreams real. That understanding is at the heart of my Agenda for American Renewal. I want to unleash the energy and brainpower of our workers and entrepreneurs. I want to lower the cost of capital so that wages rise and unemployment lines shrink. That's why I'm fighting for a cut in the tax on capital gains. I want you to make your business decisions without some bureaucrat from Washington second-guessing your every move. That's why I've ordered an end to the federal regulations that turn red tape into pink slips. I want to make health care more accessible and affordable for every one. That's why I'm fighting for health care reform - - without burdening small businesses with expensive new mandates and payroll taxes. And I want to reward the risk-takers who bring capital and jobs to our inner cities. That's why I'm fighting for enterprise zones. On issue after issue, you see the same sharp difference between my opponent and me. He wants a government that taxes more, spends more, and regulates more. I want a government that 3 taxes less, spends less, and regulates less -- that frees up the genius of American enterprise and initiative. Let me be clear. Government must never shirk its very real responsibilities. The fine men and women who you are honoring today -- men and women who I've been proud to have beside me these past three years -- are testament to the good work government can do. Together we believe that it is government's role to create opportunity -- not stifle it. To clear the path for individual accomplishment -- not to block it. To facilitate, not to dictate. And together we believe that there is no room in our country for discrimination of any kind. As long as I am President I will do everything in my power to drive bigotry and anti-Semitism and racism from our great land. I think you know I have strong feelings about this -- I always have. I founded the first UNCF chapter on my college campus. I fought for fair housing. I was proud to sign a historic civil rights bill. And as President I've set out to appoint officials on the content of their character and their competence -- and to those officials who are here today, I salute you. You're doing a terrific job. With their help -- and with yours -- we will create economic opportunity for every American -- we will compete in the new world that lies before us -- we will win the peace. # # # Document No. 353067 WHITE HOUSE STAFFING MEMORANDUM DATE: 09/28/92 ACTION/CONCURRENCE/COMMENT DUE BY: 1:00pm 09/29/92 PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: SALUTE TO THE PRESIDENT SUBJECT: WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 30, 1992 J.W.

The great task before us is clear: with the end of the Cold War, America must win the new global economic competition. We must win the peace -- for only then will we keep the promise of opportunity that is the birthright of every American. Governor Clinton and I offer very different choices, based on very different philosophies, borne of different experience. As a man who has spent all his life in government, my opponent believes government -- a Washington elite of policy professors and planners -- should take the lead in shaping the economy, "investing" your money more wisely than you can. Well, that's not the way I see it. Like so many of you, I've spent much of my life in business -- built one from the ground up // met a payroll // created jobs. I happen to think that's a pretty good qualification for being President of the United States. // 2 I learned what makes an economy grow. It's not government planners -- it's not the people who take your taxes and spend them for you. You make an economy grow -- ordinary men and women with the extraordinary dreams -- who have the grit to make those dreams real. That understanding is at the heart of my Agenda for American Renewal. I want to unleash the energy and brainpower of our workers and entrepreneurs. I want to lower the cost of capital so that wages rise and unemployment lines shrink. That's why I'm fighting for a cut in the tax on capital gains. I want you to make your business decisions without some bureaucrat from Washington second-guessing your every move. That's why I've ordered an end to the federal regulations that turn red tape into pink slips. I want to make health care more accessible and affordable for every one. That's why I'm fighting for health care reform - - without burdening small businesses with expensive new mandates and payroll taxes. And I want to reward the risk-takers who bring capital and jobs to our inner cities. That's why I'm fighting for enterprise zones. On issue after issue, you see the same sharp difference between my opponent and me. He wants a government that taxes more, spends more, and regulates more. I want a government that 3 taxes less, spends less, and regulates less -- that frees up the genius of American enterprise and initiative. Let me be clear. Government must never shirk its very real responsibilities. The fine men and women who you are honoring today -- men and women who I've been proud to have beside me these past three years -- are testament to the good work government can do. Together we believe that it is government's role to create opportunity -- not stifle it. To clear the path for individual accomplishment -- not to block it. To facilitate, not to dictate. And together we believe that there is no room in our country for discrimination of any kind. As long as I am President I will do everything in my power to drive bigotry and anti-Semitism and racism from our great land. I think you know I have strong feelings about this -- I always have. I founded the first UNCF chapter on my college campus. I fought for fair housing. I was proud to sign a historic civil rights bill. And as President I've set out to appoint officials on the content of their character and their competence -- and to those officials who are here today, I salute you. You're doing a terrific job. With their help -- and with yours -- we will create economic opportunity for every American -- we will compete in the new world that lies before us -- we will win the peace. # # # (Ferguson/Grossman) September 28, 1992 6:00 pm 2 SEP 28 P6: 50 SALUTE PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: SALUTE TO THE PRESIDENT WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1992 J.W.
