PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: NRSC INNNER CIRCLE GALA RECEPTION
WASHINGTON, D.C.
MAY 3, 1990
Dr. Nary
7:20 P.M.
Thank you, Don [Senator Nickles]. [Introductory
acknowledgements.] It's a thrill to see so many of the great
sports stars here tonight -- heroes all of America admires. //
resenting
Baseball great Bob Feller --- Rapid Robert -- who 50 years ago
baseboll. before
this spring threw the first and only Opening Day no hitter. //
Tony Trabert -- King of Wimbledon's Center Court. // Then there
spach
are our home-town Redskins -- past and present -- and even a few
Cowboys, brave enough to venture up here into the heart of
Redskin Country. // Welcome, one and all. And let me say how
pleased I am to have all of you on our Republican team. //
lavagos
I'm pleased to see [Cabinet Members]. And of course, let me
recognize the many members of the Senate Republican team -- the
Gramm seasoned veterans -- here tonight: Chairman Don Nickles [our
Kaoten
Majority Leader Bob Dole, and all the rest. And our candidates -
- the many aspiring Washington Senators -- a solid line-up, top
Tanke
to bottom. //
Thurmand
I know I speak for all of them when I thank you -- the
Wamer
members of the National Republican Senatorial Committee Inner
Circle -- for your strong support. // Politics is a team sport
-- and your key contributions are going to help make 1990 a
winning Senate season. //
It's early May. The political season is heating up -- we're
7 months away from that first Tuesday in November. // Spring
training is over -- we've touched all the bases back home -- and
now everyone in this room is ready for the campaign season to go
full swing. [[I'm ready. I've been building up my strength --
by benchpressing a copy of the Federal Budget. ]] //
You know, a great American mystic -- // Yogi Berra -- once
said: "Good hitting beats good pitching. And vice versa. //
Well, in the game of politics, you can't win if you can't connect
-- and our opponents can't connect with the American voter.
Because more and more voters have figured out that when the
Democrats go into their wind-up -- you'd better be ready for a
curve. //
The American people want something different. They want
straight-talk -- and a straight-forward agenda for America --
strong, steady, and ready to face the challenges of a new
century. They want the Republican agenda -- government in tune
with the American people. //
And that's the agenda we're working to put into action. //
You know I'm committed -- heart and soul -- to the fight against
crime and drugs. To Clean Air and a new environmental ethic. To
a strong economy -- one that provides growth, good jobs, and
opportunity for all Americans. And, of course, to the first duty
of every President and Commander in Chief: to preserve America's
place -- America's peace and freedom -- in a changing world.
But you all know I can't push through my policies all by
myself. I need help on the Hill -- the kind of help I get from
all 45 of our fine Republican Senators.
Now, the only thing better than having 45 Senators on your
side // is 50 plus 1. // 5 more Senate seats -- that's all that
stands between us and a Republican majority. All that prevents
the Republican Party from taking back the Senate. //
I hope you're optimistic -- because I am. We occupy the
high ground. // We share the values of mainstream America --
now it's time we became the majority party in America. And we
can start this fall, by shutting out the Democrats -- and taking
back the Senate. //
But we won't get it handed to us. It's going to take a real
110% effort for the Republican Party. All the support we've come
to rely on from those of you in this room. // With your help,
we're going to make 1990 a winning season -- and we'll make the
1990s a Republican Decade. //
It's been my pleasure to join you tonight. Once again, my
thanks -- and God bless you all. //
And now, it my pleasure to officially open this new
political season, by throwing out the first ball. [[ Senator
Nickles, get ready for some smoke.
]]

D.N. TEXT:
AS WE SETTLE IN TO ENJOY ALL THE FESTIVITIES
SURROUNDING OUR TEAM '90, IT'S IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER THAT WE ARE CONTINUING A TEN YEAR
TRADITION OF WORKING TOGETHER TOWARD OUR
SHARED GOAL -- A REPUBLICAN SENATE MAJORITY.
IT'S A VERY ATTAINABLE GOAL. WE'VE PROVED THAT IN
1980, 1982 AND 1984, AND WE'RE GOING TO PROVE IT
AGAIN IN 1990!
IN FACT, THIS YEAR WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO ONE
OF OUR GREATEST WINS SINCE THE INNER CIRCLE WAS
FOUNDED IN 1979. THAT YEAR, SENATOR JOHN HEINZ
RECRUITED A GROUP OF CONCERNED AMERICANS TO
FUND A SPECIAL CAMPAIGN TO PUT REPUBLICANS IN
CONTROL OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN 26 YEARS.
AIDED BY VOTERS DISILLUSIONED WITH JIMMY CARTER
AND HIS FELLOW CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS, THE
INNER CIRCLE HELPED CAPTURE 12 DEMOCRAT SENATE
SEATS IN 1980. THAT VICTORY NOT ONLY PROVIDED A
SAFE GOP MAJORITY, BUT IT SWEPT OUT OF OFFICE
SOME OF THE MOST LIBERAL SENATE DEMOCRATS.
UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF SENATOR BOB PACKWOOD
IN 1982, THE INNER CIRCLE GATHERED A NEW
STRENGTH AND HELPED ELECT AN ADDITIONAL
REPUBLICAN SENATOR. THEN IN 1984, SENATOR DICK
LUGAR OVERSAW A PERFECT GOP WIN. THE INNER
CIRCLE HELPED RONALD REAGAN WIN A LANDSLIDE
RE-ELECTION WHILE ALSO HOLDING ONTO THE
REPUBLICAN MAJORITY THAT WAS SUCH AN
