Thornburgh Reflections
Tribune Review 12-22-86746
Most Pennsylvanians will remember Dick Thornburgh as
an excellent governor. He put the Commonwealth house in
order. He cleaned up a considerable amount of corruption
and incompetence. Thornburgh helped the state weather
some very difficult economic storms while keeping the books
balanced. Penn DOT and other agencies were greatly im-
proved.
But Pennsylvanians were unwilling to reward his manage-
rial partner in all of this. Bill Scranton failed to follow in his
footsteps. But Scranton was not looked on as a close, "mana-
gerial partner." The two men simply did not look like a team.
In fact, internal communications within the Thornburgh
crew were not impressive. Somehow, the governor came.
across as an aloof and somewhat isolated manager. He surely
wasn't the consumate politician, using his power to build par-
ty strength. For example, he surely did not master the ap-
pointments process. He was unable to handle the disgraceful
Liquor Control Board and he blew the Three Mile Island deal
way out of proportion.
Athough he wasn't a particularly dynamic governor, he
surely kept the state moving forward through rough times.
He kept building and improving (massive advances in road
conditions, for example). He was also far more compassion-
ate than people gave him credit for - many increases in wel-
fare allotments, big improvements in education, and a solid
development in human services.
One of his most important accomplishments has been
overlooked. Using excellent external communications he
was able to keep public expectations of state government at
reasonable levels. He effectively educated people about
harsh Harrisburg realities. He restored a great deal of faith
in the executive branch.
Despite the illogical nature of his political world, Thorn-
burgh installed "business-like" approaches within govern-
ment. He also found ways to compromise with his Democrat
adversaries during the passage of legislation without com-
promising his principles.
Yes, Dick Thornburgh has made a very positive mark on
Pennsylvania history and deserves recognition for his ac-
complishments and our appreciation.

Thornburgh Reflections
Tribune Review 12-22-86-PA6
Most Pennsylvanians will remember Dick Thornburgh as
an excellent governor. He put the Commonwealth house in
order. He cleaned up a considerable amount of corruption
and incompetence. Thornburgh helped the state weather
some very difficult economic storms while keeping the books
balanced. Penn DOT and other agencies were greatly im-
proved.
But Pennsylvanians were unwilling to reward his manage-
rial partner in all of this. Bill Scranton failed to follow in his
footsteps. But Scranton was not looked on as a close, "mana-
gerial partner." The two men simply did not look like a team.
In fact, internal communications within the Thornburgh
crew were not impressive. Somehow, the governor came.
across as an aloof and somewhat isolated manager. He surely
wasn't the consumate politician, using his power to build par-
ty strength. For example, he surely did not master the ap-
pointments process. He was unable to handle the disgraceful
Liquor Control Board and he blew the Three Mile Island deal
way out of proportion.
Athough he wasn't a particularly dynamic governor, he
surely kept the state moving forward through rough times.
He kept building and improving (massive advances in road
conditions, for example). He was also far more compassion-
ate than people gave him credit for - many increases in wel-
fare allotments, big improvements in education, and a solid
development in human services.
One of his most important accomplishments has been
overlooked. Using excellent external communications he
was able to keep public expectations of state government at
reasonable levels. He effectively educated people about
harsh Harrisburg realities. He restored a great deal of faith
in the executive branch.
Despite the illogical nature of his political world, Thorn-
burgh installed "business-like" approaches within govern-
ment. He also found ways to compromise with his Democrat
adversaries during the passage of legislation without com-
promising his principles.
Yes, Dick Thornburgh has made a very positive mark on
Pennsylvania history and deserves recognition for his ac-
complishments and our appreciation.

DICK THORNBURGH
Dick Thornburgh is the Republican candidate for the United
States Senate from Pennsylvania in November, 1991.
He served as the 76th Attorney General of the United States,
following his unanimous confirmation by the Senate, from
August 12, 1988 to August 15, 1991, and served in the Justice
Department under each of the last five presidents. At the time
of his departure, he was the longest serving of President Bush's
cabinet members.
As the nation's chief law enforcement officer, Mr.
Thornburgh was in charge of executing the Administration's
stepped-up initiatives against drug traffickers, organized crime
and white collar criminals, as well as stronger enforcement of
civil rights, anti-trust and environmental laws. He played a
leading role in the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities
Act.
During his tenure, he took the lead in international
cooperative efforts to crack down on money laundering and drug
trafficking activities of the illegal drug cartels. On behalf of
the United States, he signed the UN Drug Convention in Vienna and
successfully lobbied for U.S. Senate ratification. He also
established Securities Fraud Task Forces in eight cities, savings
and loan investigative and prosecutive units in 27 cities and an
Organized Crime Council to coordinate the federal fight against
racketeering. Under his leadership, a 50 percent increase in the
number of federal prosecutors was undertaken and a program
launched to nearly double the number of federal prison cells.
While Mr. Thornburgh served as Attorney General, nearly 600
savings & loan officials were convicted of criminal charges and
79% of those convicted were sent to prison. The Department of
Justice also obtained the first and only conviction of the Bank
of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) and five of its
officials on money-laundering charges, resulting in a record
$15 million penalty and jail terms of up to twelve years.
As Attorney General, he twice personally argued cases before
the United States Supreme Court, establishing authority to carry
out drug testing programs and providing for victim impact
evidence in death penalty proceedings. In 1991, Mr. Thornburgh
was named one of "The 100 Most Influential Lawyers in America"
by The National Law Journal.
Mr. Thornburgh previously served two terms as Governor of
Pennsylvania. He was elected in 1978, re-elected in 1982,
and named by his fellow governors in a 1986 Newsweek poll as
one of the nation's most effective big-state governors.

From 1987 to 1988 he was Director of the Institute of Politics
at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government.
Prior to becoming Governor, he served as United States
Attorney for Western Pennsylvania (1969-1975), prosecuting a
number of drug traffickers, major organized crime figures and
corrupt public officials. In 1973, he received a Special
Medallion Award from the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration
for "significant personal efforts to help eliminate drug abuse."
Thereafter, he served (1975-77) as Assistant Attorney General of
the United States in charge of the Criminal Division of the
Department of Justice during the administration of President
Gerald Ford, and established the Public Integrity Section to
spearhead the Justice Department's actions against corrupt public
officials.
While serving as Governor of Pennsylvania, Mr. Thornburgh
restored integrity and efficiency to state government and
fostered expansion and diversification of the economy by
innovative economic development policies, reducing taxes and
indebtedness and eliminating 15,000 unnecessary positions from
the state bureaucracy. Pennsylvania's unemployment rate, among
the ten highest in the nation when he was elected, had dropped to
one of the ten lowest when he left office. His programs for
welfare and education reform and for upgrading the state's
transportation system were nationally acclaimed.
He also carried out an unprecedented crackdown on crime,
expanding the state police force, creating special units on drugs
and organized crime, winning passage of laws imposing mandatory
jail sentences for violent and repeat offenders, adopting tough
new standards for commutations, reinstating use of the death
penalty and undertaking the largest prison expansion in the
state's history.
During his years as Governor, Pennsylvania's serious crime
rate dropped by more than 17 percent and consistently was the
lowest of any large state. His programs to assist crime victims,
including a Victim's Bill of Rights, and funding of rape crisis
and domestic violence centers, earned Mr. Thornburgh the first
national award ever given by the National Organization for Victim
Assistance.
In 1979, Mr. Thornburgh's calm and effective handling of the
unprecedented Three Mile Island nuclear crisis was widely
credited with having averted panic and injury.
During the past twenty years, he has traveled extensively,
meeting with leaders in Europe, the Middle East, the Soviet
Union, Japan, China, Korea, Australia, Central and South America
and Africa.

BRIEF REMARKS: THORNBURGH FOR SENATE

((It's great to be here in the home of the National League
East champions. If you think you're glad that Barry Bonds and
Bobby Bonilla [Bo-NEE-ya] are each a Pittsburgh Pirate, just wait
until you see Dick Thornburgh as a Washington Senator. // ))
( (You know, I've called Dick Thornburgh a lot of names in my
time
"Governor"
"Attorney General"
"hey you"
But
the one I like best is: "United States Senator. ") )
It's a pleasure to be here in Pittsburgh, Dick Thornburgh's
hometown. It's also the hometown of a man known to everyone
here: Senator John Heinz. John Heinz was a man of integrity and
compassion, a public servant whose dedication was as tireless as
his strength of purpose. His family should know that our
thoughts and prayers are with them.
When the time came to do the seemingly impossible and name a
successor to John Heinz, the first person this Party turned to
was a man also known for his integrity and compassion, a public
servant with a record of commitment to the people of
Pennsylvania. That man was Dick Thornburgh. //

( (The opposition tried to get Lee Iacocca to run for the
same seat, but he wouldn't do it ... apparently he insisted that
the seat come equipped with an air bag. ///
But then for some Senate seats, that would be redundant. 111))
I'm not surprised that the Pennsylvania Republican Party
asked Dick to run for the Senate. He's a leader voters already
know -- and a man they trust. I saw the same qualities in him
all of you did, and I asked him to join my Cabinet as one of my
first appointments in the new Administration.
Since those early days, we've seen a lot of change in the
world -- the Revolution of '89, I call it, swept through Eastern
Europe, across Asia, Africa, even right here in the Americas.
Today in the Soviet Union, freedom is an idea whose time has
August
This
come. Just last month, when a coup threatened the forces for
democracy in Moscow, the American people stood firmly on the side
of freedom -- against the coup plotters and with the people of
the Soviet Union.
I know that Dick went over to the Soviet Union several times
recently, in order to help the Soviet people establish the rule
of law while creating free markets and opening new opportunities.
We believe in the power of the individual, and in the magic of
imagination -- and we also believe in the fundamental right to
life, liberty and property. It is only under the rule of law --
and not the law of the jungle -- that people can have the
opportunity to build a better life for themselves.
3
Creating opportunity is at the heart of our domestic agenda
as well. For example, we believe that tenants of public housing
should manage -- and someday, own -- their own homes.
Under Dick's leadership, we proposed a tough crime package
I
the most comprehensive in American history -- because we think
the first civil right in this country is freedom from fear. It's
time to get violence and drugs out of our neighborhoods, our
workplaces, and our schools.
Our child care law provides low-income parents with the
means to select the best care for their children -- because
parents know best what kind of care their children need.
We want choice in education as well. We think parents and
students -- not bureaucrats -- should choose which school is best
for them -- they're the ones who know best. Our America 2000
strategy seeks to create a new generation of schools, because we
believe that the American Dream first begins in the classroom.
But even if you have a place to call your own, a safe
neighborhood and a good education, opportunity means nothing
unless you have a job. Dick knows what I'm talking about. When
daugling?
he was first elected governor, Pennsylvania's unemployment rate
was among the ten highest in the nation. It dropped to among the
ten lowest by the time he was finished, and employment was at an
all-time high. His administration created over 500,000 new jobs
in his second term, and he led the way as the state's economy
became one of the strongest and most diversified in the nation.
4
At the same time, he turned the state's budget deficit into
surplusses, and cut person income and corporate taxes as well.
Governor Thornburgh looked to the future -- laid the
foundation for an economic transition for Pennsylvania. Here in
Pittsburgh, he supported new enterprises that eased the
transition from an industrial center to a diverse mix of high
tech manufacturers, corporate services, health care concerns and
educational institutions.
Where others saw despair in dying industries and fear of
change, Dick Thornburgh saw opportunity for growth -- and a
better life for the next generation.
That's the kind of vision we need in Washington. That's why
we need Dick Thornburgh in the United States Senate. ///
If we had Dick on Capitol Hill, our economic growth package
wouldn't be sitting around collecting dust. Our growth agenda
creates the right climate for business to flourish. We want to
bring down the tax on capital gains -- so that entrepreneurs will
invest money in new businesses, new ideas, and new jobs. We want
to bring down the deficit -- and hold the line on Congressional
spending.
We must build on our strengths. In the last four years, our
exports have increased 55 percent, more than twice the rate of
import growth. Exports have galvanized our economy, and they are
the key to creating more growth, more opportunity and more
prosperity for all Americans.
5
That's why we say that G.O.P. stands for Growth, Opportunity
and Prosperity.
Whether the issue is energy or education or
economics -- we believe in the power of the individual. But in
order to promote opportunity at home and competitiveness abroad,
we need more Republicans. //
Pennsylvanians deserve integrity and commitment in their
public servants. Pennsylvanians need leaders of courage and
conviction. They need Dick Thornburgh. /// And I predict that
in just over six weeks, Dick Thornburgh will be the next United
States Senator.
Keep up the good fight ... get out the vote on election
night
...
and God bless each and every one of you.

POSSIBLE JOKE?
Let me tell you a little story -- true story. One morning
last summer, after delivering a very successful oral argument
before the Supreme Court, Attorney General Thornburgh walked out
onto the steps of the building clad in the traditional morning
suit. Suddenly, the press corps surrounded him and began asking
when he'd run for the Senate. He paused
leaned in close
and broke out in a rendition of "Oh What a Beautiful Morning!"
//
There's another tune he'll be singing to the voters on
election night: "Danke Schoen. "
gee. Manuel EPA Administrator Bill Lujan Redy
Michele- No word from Tony yet; while waiting I polished
it up alittle M.K.

I believe that no matter who you are or where you live, we
all want our children to have it better than we did. That's true
whether you live in ( (name of section of Pittsburgh) or an The
The South Side a should l say Sou Side
or In Alison Parte
(another section. )) That's what our domestic agenda is all
about: creating opportunity and hope for a better life. We begin
-- not by giving you government handouts -- but by trusting you.

We believe that the true power and potential in America must
reside in the hands of the people.
For example, we believe that tenants of public housing
should manage -- and someday, own -- their own homes. People
should have the opportunity to manage their own affairs, and
control their own destiny.
We also think that the first civil right in this country is
freedom from fear -- and under Dick's leadership, we proposed a
tough crime package -- the most comprehensive in American
history. We can't expect people to take advantage of night
classes or put in late hours to earn a promotion if they're
afraid to be out of the house after dark. It's time to get
violence and drugs out of our neighborhoods, our workplaces, and
our schools -- because fear of crime means loss of opportunity.
We want to put power in the hands of the family. We think
parents and students --- not bureaucrats -- should choose the
school their children attend -- they're the ones who know best.
Our America 2000 strategy seeks to create a new generation of
schools, and a nation of students. We deserve an education
system that gives every American the power to make the American
Dream come alive for them.
But even if you have a place to call your own, a safe
neighborhood and a good education, opportunity means nothing
unless you have a job. Dick knows what I'm talking about. When
