VIDEO ADDRESS:
National Fire and Emergency Services Dinner
Thursday, April 30, 1991
It seems like only yesterday that I attended your first
annual dinner, back in 1989 -- and while I'm sorry I couldn't be
with you this year, it's an honor to offer a few words of thanks
and encouragement to a special breed of Americans.
Nobody shows a finer patriotism than the volunteers and
career professionals of our Fire and Emergency Services
community: firefighters / rescue workers / paramedics /
emergency room physicians and staff. You all protect and defend
the most immediate kind of national security -- the security of
our homes, friends and families.
A grateful nation owes you its thanks, admiration and more.
Let me assure all of you, from California to Washington, that no
one takes you for granted. No one overlooks the risks you run to
save lives and protect property.
In Washington, The Congressional Fire Services Caucus, under
the leadership of Curt Weldon, has made sure your concerns get
much-deserved attention.
This year I requested over $25 million for programs at the
U.S. Fire Administration and National Fire Academy, and almost $6
million for the Center for Fire Research. And Wally Stickney at
FEMA and Olin Greene over at the U.S.F.A. are both doing an
outstanding job -- through programs that address such concerns as
firefighter health and welfare, public education, arson control,
and disaster preparedness.
All of you, like all of our volunteers and professionals,
answer the cries of people in need. Whenever someone's in trouble
-- wherever they are -- you are there. When there's no one else
to count on, they count on you. You rush into flaming ruins.
You extend the hope of life to victims of accidents and crime.
You roll up your sleeves when Nature reduces neighborhoods into
rubble.
The war in the Persian Gulf has ended -- but common
tragedies -- the fires and floods, the accidents and assaults --
assail us everywhere. As our domestic defenders, I salute you
for your common commitment -- and your uncommon courage.
Good night, and God bless you.

Title: NCAA
PROPOSED VIDEO MESSAGE
NCAA FINAL FOUR
Good evening. It's wonderful to join you in the Hoosier
Dome for the N-C-A-A championship game.
Tonight, a new champion will take home the trophy as the
best college basketball team in the Nation. But, before we crown
these new champions it's appropriate that we pause to acknowledge
some other American heros -- the service men and women of our
Armed Forces. In Operation Desert Storm they reminded America
what we can do when we're united. They showed us what bravery, a
commitment to duty, and a deep love of country can accomplish.
Skiter
As I've said before, they left to liberate Kuwait and "helped
this country liberate itself from old doubts and ghosts."
And so as the young athletes playing tonight meet in this N-
C-A-A tournament, it's fitting that we not only salute the
players and coaches in this tournament, but also the outstanding
service men and women of this great country.
Thank you, enjoy this wonderful game, and may God bless you
all.

Dear Barry,
Per your request, the following is a suggested script for
the President's salutation for the evening of April 1st,
1991 preceding the NCAA Championship. It follows closely the
theme I outlined to you in our earlier correspondence:
Good Evening.
As our heroes return from the Persian Gulf, we are
reminded of and join in the celebration of the things
that are American. In particular, the strength of
raised spirits and willing hearts in the face of
adversity. Nothing seems to forge that quality in our
youth more than our common love of sports.
The NCAA Basketball Tournament in a span of three weeks
reaches out to all regions of our country. Sixty-four
teams, from campuses big and small, all compete for a
championship of this American-born sport, sharing a
common love for the game and hope of winning.
Tonight, as the final 2 teams meet in this great
tournament, a tournament that has honored the
dedication and spirit of those men and women who have
served and those who continue to serve in the Persian
Gulf, it is all together fitting that we salute the
hearts and minds of these competitors as well as the
service men and women they honor in America's
heartland - Indianapolis, Indiana.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is
any further information I could provide.
Again, thanks for your time.
sincerely

Dear Barry,
As our heroes return from the Persian Gulf, we are reminded
of and join in the celebration of the things that are
American. In particular, the strength of raised spirits and
forward looks in the face of adversity. Nothing seems to
forge that quality in our youth more than our universal love
of sports in America.
The NCAA Basketball Tournament in a span of two weeks
reaches out to all regions of our country. Sixty-four teams,
big and small, will all compete for a championship, sharing
a common love for the game and hope of winning.
As the President rallies those forward-looking spirited
Americans, we would find it particularly fitting that our
chief executive, on the evening of the championship,
celebrate our national love of sport, respect of
championship and pursuit of greatness.
Rest assured, we would find it appropriate that a minute or
even just 30 seconds of the President's time would give this
truly American spectacle a smashing tip-off.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Please contact me
if I can answer any further questions.
Sincerely,

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: DAILY POINT OF LIGHT ANNOUNCEMENT
On the Fort McDowell Indian Reservation in Mesa, Arizona,
kids who'd never had books now own them. Kids who'd never been
read to now listen at storyhours. Teens who couldn't read now
make the honor roll. High school volunteers turned these kids'
lives around -- because they donated books; read aloud; and
tutored. For reaching out to their community, I'm naming as our
432nd Daily Point of Light: Red Mountain High School's Club RIF.
Our Point of Light volunteers are the North Stars that guide
this nation out of the darkness. They show that Americans can
find within our own hearts the solutions for our country's
problems. They show that true success means caring -- helping
someone who needs you. And they show who our real heroes are --
our neighbors; our friends; and the kids of Red Mountain High.
Every American should hear the story of this school's Club
RIF and think -- I can do something like that. I can come up
with creative, caring solutions. I can do something good -- feel
something real. That's how each person in this country can
become a true American hero. God bless Red Mountain High's Club
RIF and all our Points of Light -- those brightening our lives
right now, and those yet to shine.
