Friends and fellow Americans. Let me welcome you to the
24th annual General Convention of the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters. /
I wish I could be with you in Orlando, but unfortunately, my
schedule will not permit it. But I did want to congratulate you
on 88 years -- and going strong -- of superb union service to
your fellow Teamsters. //
Your leadership in the fight for benefits and acceptable
wages for the 1.6 million men and women of the Teamsters is
widely known. Yet you also deserve to be commended for all you
have done above the call of duty for your families -- and the
American family. //
Your General President, Billy McCarthy, and I have talked
about issues crucial to the Teamsters and the Nation. I've
always enjoyed these meetings, and our honest give-and-take.
I've come away from these sessions aware that he has the best
interests of the Teamsters at heart. Just like when the chips
are down, every Teamster reveres America's interests
Today, let me salute you for your wonderful backing Xx of our
troops in the Persian Gulf. Teamsters were among the first in
the Nation to offer their support during the Congressional debate
2
and vote concerning U.S. support of United Nations Security
Council relations on the Persian Gulf.
Recently, you helped
enormously in flying home SO many of our brave men and women who
made America so proud. /
Your International headquarters building was among the first
in Washington to display a sign in support of our troops. That
willeak
sign remains on display today -- and will stay up, Billy tells
me, until the last U.S. service member in the Gulf comes home. //
I want to also thank you for your work to ensure a smooth
return for our reservists as they come back to work. And what
you've done on behalf of Easter Seals and Muscular Dystrophy. I
have also said the definition of a successful life must include
serving others. Well, by that criteria, Teamsters live about the
most successful lives around. //
Theodore Roosevelt preached against the doctrine "of ignoble
ease. " You practice the creed of truly noble service. // I
thank you for that, and wish you good luck in your convention
this week and with your Project 2000. // God bless you, and the
Nation you richly bless -- the United States of America.

two million members total by the year 2000. We call it Project
2000. At the convention itself, delegates, alternates, guests and
an enormous press battalion will bring the number of attendees to
approximately 10,000.
My office stands ready to provide any information or
assistance necessary to assist you in preparing and taping a
greeting from the President. Duke Seller of my office will be
contacting you shortly regarding this matter, and a suggested
script im enclosed.
The President's consideration of this request and your

REMARKS FOR THE TEAMSTERS GENERAL CONVENTION
FROM PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH
Hello and welcome to the 24th General Convention of the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters. I wish I could be with you
in Orlando, but unfortunately my schedule will not permit it. But
I did want to congratulate you on 88 years of outstanding union
service to your fellow Teamsters.
In addition to your leadership in the fight for benefits and
acceptable wages for the 1.6 million men and women of the
Teamsters, you deserve to be commended for all you have done above
and beyond the call of duty.
Your General President, milly MoCarthy, and H have sat down
together many times during my administration, to talk about the
issues that concern you and your families. I've always enjoyed
those meetings, and the honest give-and-take I share with Billy.
I've come away from those sessions in the oval office keenly aware
that he has the best interests of you, the Teamster membership, in
his heart.
Your support of our troops in the Persian Gulf was outstanding
- such as your aid in helping fly home so many of our brave men
and women who made the whole nation very, very proud.
Teamstere were among the first in the nation to offer their
support during the Congressional debate and vote concerning U.S.

proudly display a sign in support of our treeps. That sign remains
on display today, and will be up, Billy has told me, until the last
U.S. service member in the Gulf comes home.
Also, keep up the good work you have done to ensure a smooth
and easy return for our reservists as they come back to work.
And I must not forget the fine work you have done on behalf of
Easter Seels and Muscular Dystrophy. That's the kind of community
service that makes America special. This is a country whose heart,
imagination, and determination have no boundaries thanks to groups
like the Teamsters.
I wane to wish you great luck in you endeavors this week and
with your Project 2000. Thanks B lot.
It is my pleasure to congratulate the members of the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters on 88 years of outstanding
service
service not only to your fellow teamsters, but also
to our Nation.
Your General President, Billy McCarthy, and I have sat down
together many times to talk about making things better, both for
individuals and for the country. I've always enjoyed those
meetings -- the honest give and take -- and I've come away from
the sessions in the Oval Office keenly aware that he has the best
interest of you, the Teamster membership, in his heart -- and a
love of America in his soul.
Under Billy's leadership, you continue to fight for benefits and
acceptable wages for the 1.6 million men and women of the
Teamsters. Your efforts will help to give these hard working
Americans a chance to reach their dreams.
Yet you've done much more. Look at your support of our troops in
the Persian Gulf. You helped these brave service men and women
fly home. You've worked to ensure a smooth and easy return for
the reservists as they come back to work. And you, the
Teamsters were among the first in our Nation's capital to
display a sign of support for our troops. That sign remains on
display today, and will be up, Billy has told me, until the last
service member in the Gulf comes home.
And let's not forget the fine work you have done on behalf of
Americans with disabilities. It is this kind of effort
this
kind of caring
that makes America so great.
This is a country
whose heart, imagination, and determination have no boundaries
thanks to groups like the teamsters.
My best wishes to you all, and God bless this great country.
