MARCH 31, 1989 -- Welcome to Washington. I've been travelling some lately, and I must say that this is a wonderful idea: to stay put, and invite all of you to come see me. : I am pleased to have this opportunity to meet with such a broad cross-section of our nation's print and broadcast journalists. : Ten weeks ago today I took the oath of office -- and in those ten weeks we've accomplished a great deal. -- My Administration came in confronting a serious crisis in our S&L system. We worked hard to devise a plan to stabilize the system, and I've called on Congress to pass the legislation we need to put that plan into effect. : We produced a budget that proves we can control spending, and deal with our most critical problem -- the deficit -- without raising taxes. As you heard from Bill Bennett, we're waging a war on drug abuse with all the weapons at our disposal. We're going to do what it takes to bring an end to the drug scourge. -- I've introduced child care initiatives aimed at expanding choice for parents -- a plan targeted for the low-income household, that finds it most difficult to balance the responsibilities of work and family. : And next week, we'll be sending up new legislation on ethics, and on education. The new ethics guidelines will enable us to sustain honesty and integrity in the public service. -- And my education initiatives aim at rewarding excellence in education, expanding choice and competition that will promote the quality education all our young people deserve -- and ensure American economic competitiveness. I'm pleased to report progress on so many fronts. But dealing with the pressing problems that demand attention today is only half the story. The other is dealing with the long-term issues that determine the kind of world we'll live in, and leave to future generations. With the 21st Century just 11 years away, the time to shape our future is now. -- What will the world be like in the year 2000? Let's ask that question in a different way: What do we want that world to look like? -- I've charged my national security team to conduct a series of far-reaching policy reviews -- to help us plot a safe and sensible course in an international arena full of challenges and opportunities. -- I've pledged our nation to work with others to put an end to CFC production by the turn of the century, and to put stronger safeguards in place for the export of hazardous waste materials. -- I've focused on education as the key to a competitive, productive America in the year 2000 and beyond. : A clean environment, a secure nation, a people well-educated and ready to compete in a rapidly evolving world economy: the challenges before us are not small or unimportant. -- I am optimistic that they GG are challenges we can and will meet. -- Now, your questions. ### March 2, 1989 THE WHITE HOUSE DRB WASHINGTON MEMORANDUM TO: DAVID DEMAREST FROM: JOSEPH W.

Bonnie Newman Robert Guttman Tony Lopez THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON February 28, 1989 NOTE TO: JOE HAGIN THROUGH: DAVE DEMAREST, $ DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS FROM: KRISTIN TAYLOR, DIRECTOR OF MEDIA RELATIONS ket SUBJ: PROPOSED DATE FOR REGIONAL BRIEFING The Office of Media Relations on February 16 submitted to your office a proposal for the President to participate in a. briefing with the Regional Press. I understand from your office that this Briefing has been officially approved, and that you would like from our office an approximate number of participants and a recommended date. To ensure thorough weekend press coverage, I recommend the briefing take place on Friday, March 31, at approximately 11:30 a.m. (The earlier in the day the better, so that participating TV reporters can do stand-ups outside the White House immediately after the event in time for the evening news.) At this time, we expect between 75 to 100 members of the press to come in from throughout the country for this event. It will last between one and 11 hours. The optimal location: Room 450 of the OEOB. In addition to the President's participation at the very end of the session (brief remarks followed by a Q & A), we will also ask three or four Administration officials to participate. We will provide more details as they become available.

(McGroarty/Dooley) March 28, 1989 9:20 am PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: REGIONAL PRESS LUNCHEON WASHINGTON, D.C. MARCH 31, 1989 Thank you, and welcome to Washington. I've been travelling a lot, and I must say that this is a wonderful idea: to stay put, and invite all of you to come see me. I am pleased to have this opportunity to meet with such a broad cross-section of our nation's print and broadcast journalists. It's easy to think first of the national news look to media, but the fact is, most Americans still turn to their local newspapers and newscasts to learn what's going on in the world -- look and that means they turn to you. Before I will limit myself to a few minutes worth of remarks and then give you what you came for an uninhibited Q&A session. Ten weeks ago today I took the oath of office -- and in those ten weeks we've accomplished a great deal. My Administration came in confronting a serious crisis in our S&L The system. We worked hard to devise a plan to stabilize system, and I've called on Congress to pass the legislation we need to put that plan into effect. ] # We sent produced a budget becamingress that proves we can control spending, and deal with the deficit without raising taxes. We all know the Washington budget ritual: declare the budget DOA by down the time it makes it dewn from the White House to the other end Affrs -OMB 3192 of Pennsylvania Avenue. Well, after nearly two months of intense negotiations, our budget is still alive and well. We're waging a war on drug abuse with all the weapons at our disposal. We're going to do what it takes to bring an end to the drug scourge. I've introduced child care initiatives aimed at expanding freedom of choice for parents -- a plan targeted for the low-income household, that finds it most difficult to balance the responsibilities of work and family. And early next week, we'll be sending up new legislation on ethics, and on education. The new ethics guidelines will enable us to sustain honesty and integrity in the public service And my education initiatives aim at rewarding excellence in education, expanding choice and competition that will promote the quality education all our young people deserve. I'm pleased to report progress on so many fronts. But dealing with the pressing problems that demand attention today is only half the story. The other is dealing with the long-term issues that determine the kind of world we'll live in, and leave to future generations. That's what my agenda is all about. With the 21st Century just 11 years away, the time to shape our future is now What will the world be like in the year 2000? Let's ask that question in a different way: What do we want that world to look like?
