America Quotable
It's great to back here in New Hampshire -- you call it the
Granite State --- Barbara and I call it the neighbor state.
It's tough to see neighbors hurting. I understand that
times are tough, but I also know that you're doing something
about it. I am very pleased to hear about your
Dawnely
revitalization efforts of Pease and the Newington/Portsmouth
New Hamps Trade
communities -- especially your efforts to expand your
international markets. Pease is the largest economic
Incenter
development project in the state. What you do counts.
I went to Asia to create jobs and more opportunities for
Americans. That's especially important to New Hampshire,
where exports provide an important source of economic
Dawn
growth. Companies in this state exported $1.2 billion worth
W.
of goods and services. Exports support 35,000 jobs in the
Granite State. Make no mistake: the stakes are real. We
create jobs here by expanding markets over there.
You're going to hear lots of people offering up their
economic growth proposals. Now, any credible plan really
must pass -- at a minimum -- this five-point, common-sense
test: One: It must stimulate the investment necessary to
create jobs. Two: It must stop the slide in real-estate
values and increase home sales. Three: It must give
Americans confidence that they will be able to afford the
costs of raising a family, educating their children, and
obtaining health care. Four: It must increase America's
capacity to compete in a global economy. And five: It must
control wasteful government spending and bring the deficit
under control.
Then listen to State of the Union. You'll see real economic
measures to get this economy moving. And apply the five-
point test.
I'm counting on you to sort out fact from fiction -- and
reality from rhetoric. Tell the others: in New Hampshire
we know the difference between election year fluff and real
leadership.
I've been to New Hampshire many times -- as a candidate, as
Vice President, as President. I know you. We share the
same values, the same sense of family, the optimistic view
that Americans won't stand still for anything less than the
best. I know New Hampshire will make it back because I know
the people of this state. And I know America will thrive as
never before because I know the American people.
Thanks for this chance to talk with you. You've taken on
the challenge of leadership, building on your strengths and
turning hard times into the beginning of a new era of growth
and opportunity for this great state. Good luck in all you
do.

It's great to back here in New Hampshire -- you call it the

It's tough to see neighbors hurting. I understand that
times are tough, but I also know that you're doing something
about it. I am very pleased to hear about your
revitalization efforts of Pease and the Newington/Portsmouth
communities -- especially your efforts to expand your
international markets. Pease is the largest economic
development project in the state. What you do counts.
I went to Asia to create jobs and more opportunities for
Americans. That's especially important to New Hampshire,
where exports provide an important source of economic

I've pushed for positive incentives for growth: investment
in education, investment in research and development, investment
in infrastructure, investment in technologies of the future, and
incentives for companies to invest more in building the products
and innovations of the 21st Century. I'll continue that fight.
I've tried to slash away at regulation, which cost the U.S.
economy nearly $200 billion last year -- and I won't quit. I've
fought to open foreign markets -- and you ain't seen nothing yet.
And I've fought to make sure that we live in a world where we can
worry about market shares instead of nuclear holocaust.
As New Hampshirites, you'll hear lots of economic proposals
from people who want to become President. You'll have to decide
which are election-year fluff -- and which will work.
Some politicians seem to believe that you build an economy
up by knocking a President down -- or by passing a law with the
word, "jobs" in the title.
You work hard, and you produce a quality product at a good
price. You know that everyone must carry their weight. You're
doing your part. Government ought to do the same. Taxpayers
deserve to get their money's worth for the $1 trillion they pay
out in taxes.
We can start by building a sound economic plan -- for now
and the future. And in our economy, every economic growth plan
must meet five tests:
One: It must stimulate the investment necessary to create
jobs.
5
Two: It must stop the slide in real-estate values and
increase home sales.
Three: It must give Americans confidence that they will be
able to afford the costs of raising a family, educating their
children, and obtaining health care.
Four: It must increase America's capacity to compete in a
global economy.
And five: It must control wasteful government spending and
bring the deficit under control.
When people shake your hands, call you by your first name
and try to sell you an economic plan, put them to these tests.
Listen carefully to my competition, and listen to what I have to
say. Frankly, I'm counting on you to sort out fact from fiction
-- and rhetoric from reality.
My friends, America can't afford empty-headed election-year
hype. We've got real challenges ahead. We need leaders who
will make the tough choices -- and the right choices. When you
face the choice of who shall lead, you've got to demand the
leader who understands the real world, who understands business
and international relations -- and whose instincts and experience
will keep America Number One.
I've really enjoyed my visit here. Let me tell you -- we're
going to do whatever it takes to keep America the greatest
economic, political, military and moral power on earth. Thank
you. May God bless you and the United States of America.

[ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS] [NEW HAMPSHIRE ANECDOTE]
It's great to be here -- and great just to be back in the
Granite State. I've been here so many times, and especially to
this base.
Now, I know the economy's on everyone's mind. Maybe
sometimes I don't convey just how much I understand and care.
Well, we're having real talks here today, and I'll let you judge
for yourselves.
But let me tell you: I'm an optimist. I'm an optimist
because I know that Americans won't stand still for anything less
than the best. I'm confident because I know just what this
country has going for it: Great people with rock solid values; an
industrial base second to none; the world's finest university
system; and a role as the greatest military, political, economic
and moral Earth. Male no mstable about tt me are

And all over the state, people are doing the same thing:
Building on their strengths and turning hard times into the
beginning of a new era of growth and opportunity.
[r and d initiative]
The American economy has been my top priority from Day One.
7
Go back and look at the record, and you'll see that I have
promoted a growth and competitiveness strategy from the start.
We've opened up markets for American exports, and built the
foundations for a new world of free and fair trade. That's what
I did in Asia last week, and you'll see the results as quality
American businesses do the hard work of building new markets for
themselves. M more progress to needed not not

freedom. Asia is our fastest-growing market, and our own
hemisphere is the second-fastest growing market.
I've led the fight for free trade -- with the U.S.-Canada
Free Trade Agreement, and in proposing a North American Free
Trade Agreement, the Enterprise for the Americas Initiative, and
by standing firm for open markets in the Uruguay Round of GATT
negotiations.
We've invested in things that make us more competitive.
I've increased funding for basic research by 26 percent since
3
coming to office. Democrats have tried to cut that each year,
preferring to spend the money on water projects and monuments to
Lawrence Welk. 11
We're investing in technologies of the future -- high
performance computing, materials science, biotechnology. These
new technologies make us faster, tougher, smarter and healthier.
We've encouraged private sector investment. We know that
you don't create jobs out of the blue, and you don't create them
by signing a law. Jobs begin with ideas, investment, and hard
work. No investment, no jobs.
I've tried to make permanent the tax credit for research and
development. Democrats won't do it.) too downt
I've tried to cut the tax on capital gains -- which will
make us more competitive and will reward success instead of
again
punishing it. Democrats won't do it.
And I've proposed ways of making our workforce ready for the
Age of Competition. Our public school system was designed in the
horse-and-buggy era. I have proposed an educational revolution
to build schools for the 21st Century. But guess what?
Democrats won't do it.
I've increased government support of math and science
education by 32 percent in the last two years, and launched a
program to use our federal resources to train teachers, improve
school curriculums, and reach our goal of becoming the world's
best in math and science by the year 2000.
4
The Cold War is over. Now we're moving into a new world --
a different kind of world, which will be defined by excellence
and competition. We won the Cold War through determination and
ideals, and we'll win the challenge of competition the same way.
We won't back away from this challenging new world. We'll shape
it.
My Asia talks were a crucial first step in forging the
international trading system of the future. The stakes are real.
Here, in New Hampshire, you do $1.2 billion worth of export
business annually, and export-related industries provide nearly
10 percent of the state's jobs.
The international trade structure holds the key to our
future. We must be clear. Our goal isn't to beat anyone. It's
create jobs has buy expandy valuts over the
to show just how great we are. We do that by opening markets,
fighting to trim back government subsidies; breaking down trade
barriers; and insisting on rules of fair play.
So as we think about the harsh realities of economic growth
in the international marketplace, let me propose a four-point,
common-sense test for every plan you hear -- including mine.
Point One: Does it make economic sense? Will the plan get
the economy moving again and safeguard American jobs?
This point seems obvious, but some people seem to believe
that you build an economy up by knocking a President down -- or
by passing a law with the word "jobs" in the title.
You're in the jobs business. You know you need investment
to set up a business -- any business. You need sound national
5
economic policies -- low taxes, no unnecessary regulations; good
roads, bridges and infrastructure.
Second: Does it make America more competitive?
In the new international marketplace, Americans must meet
the demands of foreign competition, and the government must work
to open markets so that good American companies can expand their
base and create good jobs.
Third point: Does it address your basic concerns: Does it
protect what you want protected, promote what you want promoted?
A good economic plan should preserve the value of your hard-won
assets -- your home, your income, your retirement savings --
rather than letting bad policies nibble away at them.
It also should enable you to choose affordable housing, good
schools for your children, and decent health care for your
family. No one should have to go broke taking care of these
basic necessities.
Point four: Does the plan get Washington's house in order?
Government must get its spending under control, and eliminate
programs that don't work or that duplicate other programs.
Taxpayers deserve to get their money's worth for the $1.4
trillion they pay out in taxes.
So, to repeat my four-point, common-sense test: Does it make
economic sense? Does it make America more competitive? Does it
address your basic concerns? Does it get government's house in
order?

It's great to be here -- and great just to be back home. We
had a tremendously successful trip to Asia, talking, listening,
learning -- and fighting for America and American jobs.
Listen, I know the economy's on everyone's mind. That's why
I went to Asia. In order to keep jobs here at home -- and that's
got to be our top priority in this economic recovery -- we must
improve our international competitiveness. That's the key to
everything -- including America's future.
There's no escaping it anymore: we live in a global economy.
Anyone who doesn't realize that is an ostrich stuck in the
quicksand of blind isolationism.
You're all businessmen. Every day you face the harsh reality
that our present and future prosperity depend on exports. Look
at the facts: every billion dollars of exports means 20,000 more
American jobs. I went to Asia determined to nail down agreements
that guarantee free and fair trade for American companies and
workers -- and open opportunities for American markets.
From Day One of my administration, I've been fighting to
open international markets for American workers. This is the key
to our nation's economic future. We've worked long and hard
these three years to secure a 21st century of stability and
growth for America. We've blazed a trail of leadership on issues

My Asia talks were part of this long-range plan for creating
a new world trade structure. These actions will do more than
merely expand international trade -- they'll also create
additional opportunities for U.S. exports through open markets;
lower government subsidies; fewer trade barriers; and, maybe most
importantly of all, through rules of fair play.

I'm talking about empty illusions some call "economic proposals."
When we were kids, most of us learned to tell the difference
between reality and Never-Never Land. Reality is a tough place.
Reality is being President, year after year crafting an economic
growth plan rooted in the practical daily life of this nation.
Never-never Land is a world of partisan bickering, head-in-the-
clouds dreaming, and nay-saying. Reality is the world you live
in -- paying your bills and making ends meet each month and each
year -- just like your government ought to. Americans are sick
and tired of politicians who day-dream in Never-Never Land. They
don't want to indulge fantasies and they don't want to lay blame
-- they want to lay the foundations of prosperity.
So when you see proposed economic growth packages thrown at
you, cast a clear and cautious eye and ask yourself some simple,
real-life questions. First: does it make sense? Second: does it
make us more competitive? Third: Does it help you keep your house
in order? And fourth: Does it get Washington's house in order?

When you've made up your minds -- send your message. Send
it to Congress and to everyone who comes knocking at your door
around here this time of year. Tell them: in New Hampshire we
know the difference between choice cut and just a lot of bull.
Thanks for this chance to see grass-roots redevelopment, to
hear your concerns and to learn from your successes. Good luck
in all that you do -- and may God bless you and this beautiful
state of New Hampshire.

MEMORANDUM FOR SPEECHWRITERS
RESEARCHERS
FROM:
BOB SIMON RS
SUBJECT:
NEW HAMPSHIRE SPEECHES
I. Pease AFB -- President will meet with business leaders from
around N.H. invited by Gov. Judd Gregg. The President will speak
for 8-10 minutes inside a hanger.
II. Exeter Town Hall -- The town hall is your classic brick
auditorium with a stage and balcony. We will put 600 Bush
supporters (disguised as regular townfolk) in there to listen to
whatever the President has to say. They do not want this to be a
Bush-Quayle rally, but rather, the President talking to New
Hampshirites about the economy, etc. The crowd will be standing.
5 minutes of brief remarks.
III. Davidson Interior Trim, Dover, NH -- This industrial plant
makes arm rests and other padded interiors for Ford, GM, and
Chrysler. The President will tour the plant and eat with the
workers in the cafeteria. No remarks.
IV. Liberty Mutual -- This Boston-based insurance company moved
part of its headquarters to Dover three years ago. 50% of their
business is workers' comp. The building was large, red-brick
mill, but was gutted and turned into offices. Bush was
campaigning in Dover in 1987 and spoke near the mill during
construction. About 1000 people work there processing insurance
claims. It is a typical office with lots of computers and
cubicles. The President will give whatever length remarks we
want to about 300 workers in the cafeteria. The company would
like us to address health care, but we don't have to. Robert
Laszewski, Exec. VP of Liberty Mutual has been very active in
health care reform with Sen. Rockefeller and the Pepper
Commission. Talk to Hanns Kuttner in OPD about him. (He'll be
there.) For info on Liberty Mutual, call Bob Goodman in Dover at
603-749-2600 x31000 or PR person Diane Turner in Boston at 617-
574-5752. "America believes in liberty -- Liberty Mutual
Insurance."
V. Cabletron, Rochester, NH -- Started by the two owners in
their garage in 1983, this big fast-growing company is a leader
in making networking hardware and software that is sold
worldwide. (I have a big research folder on this one.) They
2
have four plants in the US and will announce during the
President's visit that they're building two more (one in
Merrimack, NH, I think). The President will tour the plant, see
how circuit boards are made, and then speak to a couple hundred
employees in a cafeteria that's in one corner of the plant.
Brief remarks -- 5 minutes.
VI. Portsmouth Rotary Club -- Meets at Yoken's restaurant.
About 800 guests. I'm now told the President will speak before
dinner and leave. The room has a low ceiling and is a little
cheesy looking. The gift shop on the other side of the
restaurant is actually bigger than the restaurant (in other
words, huge, I mean, really huge, filled with every kind of
souvenir you could imagine.) When he was VP, Bush was to speak
to this group, but canceled at literally the last minute when
Reagan called him and told him to come back to preside over the
Senate. (Former Gov. Hugh Gregg was the last minute sub
speaker). Ever since, they've been lobbying to get him back,
particularly since Portsmouth is where he lands on the way to
KBP. Bush called the dinner from Air Force II on his way back to
DC and apologized, although he didn't specifically promise to
come back. Bill Holt is the current president of the club. Dale
Smith was president back then, and Don Reeves was the program
director. The town was hurt somewhat when Pease AFB was closed
last year and 8,000 personnel left town. The base is like a
ghost town. It used to have nuclear bombers.

HEADLINE: Senators propose economic recovery plan
BYLINE: BY ALAN YONAN JR. UPI Business Writer
DATELINE: WASHINGTON
KEYWORD: ECONOMY
BODY:
Senate Democratic leaders Jim Sasser of Tennessee and Paul Sarbanes of
Maryland, comparing the economy to a drowning swimmer, have proposed an economic
recovery plan that would cut taxes for the middle class, provide grants to local
governments, and substantially reduce defense spending.
Sasser, chairman of the Budget Committee, and Sarbanes, chairman of the
Joint Economic Committee, said Friday misguided federal policies have resulted
in the longest economic downturn since the Great Depression.
''Right now we have de facto Hooverism,'' Sasser said at a news conference.
If we don't do something to counteract the fiscal drag on our economy, we're
going to have continued suffering and we're going to have skyrocketing deficits
to boot.
The senators listed a host of economic indicators released in recent weeks
reflecting the economic stagnation, including decreases in consumer confidence,
real income and home construction. They also cited reports showing increases in
unemployment claims, layoffs and the budget deficit.
'The fiscal drag being placed on the economy is like someone trying to get
their head above water and as soon as they come up, you push them down again,'
said Sarbanes.
''For months the administration insisted there was no need for stimulus,
because there was no recession and the recession was sort and shallow and soon
would be over,' he said.
' ' And now there is growing recognition from many quarters that this was not
correct. Today's recession is neither short nor shallow and is unlikely to end
without some decisive shift in fiscal and monetary policy.''
The economic plan, to be discussed at hearings in upcoming weeks, includes:
--An income tax cut targeted for middle-income wage earners. The senators
would not reveal the amount of the proposed cut, but said it would extend over Pd
five-year period.

--A one-time package of grants and loans to state and local governments
designed to keep and create jobs and to prevent cuts in education,
infrastructure and public safety programs.
--Additional weeks of unemployment benefits. In last two serious recessions,
unemployed workers recived as much as 52 weeks of benfits, they said. Today
unemployed workers can get a maximum of 39 weeks of benefits.
--A shift by the Treasury toward shorter maturities in auctions of
government securities. The Federal Reserve needs to reduce the supply of
long-term bonds, thereby raising their price and lowering long-term interest
rates, the senators said. The Federal Reserve also should work with the central
banks of other countries to lower interst rates worldwide, they said.
--A ''substantial'' shift in resources from the defense budget to finance a
'Marshall Plan for America. The public investment would be directed at
improvements in infrastructure, education, research, and worker training, they
said. Money from the defense budget also could be used to reduce the budget
deficit, they said.
The declining economic indicators cited by the senators included the
Commerce Department's List of Coincident Indicators, a monthly measure of
current economic activity released earlier this week. The List of Coincident
Indicators in November fell below its level of last March, which was considered
the low point of the recession.
The senators also cited a drop in the montly Purchasing Managers' Index, an
economic barometer used by U.S. and international financial markets. The index,
released Thursday, dropped to 46.5 percent in December, the first time the index
fell though the psychologically important 50-percent level since June.
A reading below 50 percent indicates the manufacturing economy is generally
declining; above 50 percent, it is expanding.
''We can't afford the risk of sitting back and saying everything is going to
work itself out,'' said Sasser. ''This plan should provide us with a jolt of
stimulus that will put us on the road to recovery.'
Federal budgetary policy resulted in a ''fiscal drag'' of $20 billion during
1991, Sasser said. And measures adopted by state and local governments to cope
with the recession, such as tax increases, program cuts and layoffs, have added
another $35 billion burden to that, he said.
Senate Democratic leader George Mitchell of Maine praised the economic plan
as a ''very productive and constructive proposal.'
But Sen. Pete Domenici of New Mexico, top Republican on the Budget
Committee, said he was disappointed with the proposal.
''Here we go again --- the chart-show senators - Senators Sarbanes and
Sasser have once again thrown federal fiscal responsiblity to the winds. At a
time when the federal budget deficit is expected to reach an all- time high,
the chairmen of the Joint Economics and Budget Committees have proposed to add
to that deficit over $ 50 billion, Domenici said.

''I am disappointed with the senators' suggestions that somehow adding
another $ 50 billion to the federal deficit will resolve the current weaknesses
in the economy. If anything, I believe such action. would have a negative
effect on interest rates and offset the gains we have seen in the last few weeks
with the Federal Reserve's cut in the discount rate.'

HEADLINE: INDUSTRY WEEK PRESENTS "AGENDA IN SEARCH OF A LEADER"
DATELINE: CLEVELAND, Jan. 3
KEYWORD: bc-leadership-guide
BODY:
Declaring that work still needs to be done to ensure America's role in the
global economy, "Industry Week" (IW) magazine is offering an 11-point agenda for
the nation's economic and social well-being. All that remains is to identify
the leadership to carry the agenda forward, said IW's editors.
"Critical to this is the cooperation -- and, often, the
unchallenged leadership - of government. In the end, no other institution
can wrestle with such issues as taxes, education, health care, and
trade strategies," according to the editors. It is with that in mind
that "Industry Week", the industry management magazine of Penton
Publishing, puts forth its agenda, which it is delivering to the President,
his advisors, members of Congress, and presidential candidates.
In its Jan. 6 issue, the editors observe, "Two decades ago, the U.S. saw its
first symptoms of industrial flabbiness and financial profligacy." By the
mid-1980s, America found itself a winded competitor -- industry leaders reacted
to this threat of national disaster by embracing the quality gospel. A movement
toward industrial renewal was under way.
Here, in summary, is "Industry Week's" agenda:
1. Congress: Sweep the Halls. An effective, efficient, and
truly representative legislative body can be restored, but only through lasting
reform. That means amending the constitution, limiting terms for legislators to
12 years ---- two six-year terms for senators and six two-year terms for
representatives.
2. Competitiveness: Retool Our Trade Strategy. The U.S. must elect a
president and members of Congress who recognize that economic strength is vital
to national security. We must strictly enforce U.S. antidumping and
countervailing laws to halt predatory foreign pricing and unjustifiable
subsidies.
3. The Deficit: Make it Personal. The President and Congress should agree
to couch the deficit and debt issues in personal terms for all Americans. That
means turning the discussion to employment and prosperity. If the average
American sees that this mountain of bills keeps us all from growing, too, then

we've won the biggest battle in the war.
4. Education: Test Our Skills. What's needed is national achievement
testing in our schools. Administered in the fourth, eighth, and 10th grades,
this testing would reflect the real knowledge of each student moving through
primary and secondary schooling. The capstone of such testing would be a basic
skills and knowledge certification exam when a student is 16. Testing can also
determine which schools and school districts are genuinely successful, returning
accountability to the system.
5. Energy: The Solutions Are Already There. An intelligent policy can be
devised that addresses both energy development and the environment, and balances
them with considerations for the economy. Research should be increased on
renewable sources such as solar energy, as well as electric- and
hydrogen-powered cars.
6. The Environment: Straighten Our Priorities. We must establish national
priorities based on the most serious risks to human health and the environment.
We must develop strategies to allow flexibility and greater reliance on market
incentives in achieving national environmental goals. We must modify the U.S.
Tax Code 50 industry's investment in pollution prevention and abatement do not
put it at a competitive disadvantage.
7. Health Care: Not Too Complex to Solve. Government must end the rhetoric
that health care is too complex an issue to attack with comprehensive reform.
In truth, only comprehensive reform to correct the ills of the current system
will bring health-care costs under control. To begin, we must end
cost-shifting. Congress must create a mechanism 50 medical costs incurred by
Americans without health-care insurance aren't being shouldered by just one
segment of society. Then Congress must plant the seeds for a shift to a
single-payer system, at least for hospital bills. That could reduce costs and
provide data needed to measure efficiency and quality.
8. Infrastructure: Repair, Not Replace. What's needed is a bullet train of
actions before the infrastructure requires costly replacement, not just repair
and maintenance. Federal, state and local spending must double from the
current level of $ 50 billion annually for infrastructure projects. One
revenue source would be an increase in user fees so the beneficiaries pay for
each category of infrastructure improvement.
9. Tax Policy: Take Away the Stick. Almost unanimously, economists agree
that taxes on savings and investment gains are too high. Current federal tax
provisions discourage saving and investment relative to consumption and
borrowing. The three principles behind reform should be: eliminate
disincentives to saving, avoid encouraging one type of saving over another, and
make changes fair and nonregressive.
10. Technology: The Need for Involvement. It's not too late to update,
revise and harness federal research and development involvement to maximize
usefulness to our national economic performance. If we want to enhance U.S.
manufacturing competitiveness, improving technology transfer must be a priority
for government and business.
11. Quality: Make It a Matter of Policy. An Administration and a Congress
that champion Total Quality Management in U.S. Industry -- and, equally

interest. A fundamental obligation of government is to provide an environment
that allows its economy to flourish, 50 participants can develop products and
services, create jobs and wealth, and advance society. Total Quality sparks
improvements because it is not a program, but a philosophy and an ongoing
process. It is appropriate for government to identify and nurture such
promising management methods, just as it is appropriate to promote
promising technologies. CONTACT: Chuck Day of Industry Week, 216-696-7000, or

So when you see proposed economic growth plans thrown at

real-life questions.
First: Which economic growth plan makes sense? You're hard-

air. Do the authors of these packages know the same thing?
Businesses are born and thrive through strong ideas, prudent
investment, and hard work. You and I know that. But do the
people who write the other proposals that are floating around?
Second, ask: Which plan makes us more competitive? We can't
afford to waste our precious energy looking backward. We're
entering a new Age of Competition unimagined in the history of
technology. Every step we take as a nation must be part of
laying a strong base for prosperity, enterprise, risk-taking and
success. Now is the time for our government to help an educated,
ambitious public dream and grow. Which economic proposal
encourages that growth?
Third, ask: Which plan helps you keep your house in order?

together to get it done. That's why we've got to convince

NEW HAMPSHIRE STATE PORT AUTHORITY FACILITY (only)
Within the Pon of New Hampshire, the State of New
Hampshire owns the NHSPA property which is located
on 11.1 acres of land along the Piscataqua River. The
NHPA Terminal (10.0 acres) includes two warehouses,
2 scale house/office, an extensive paved area, five to six
acres used for material, short-term storage and marshal-
ling and a 600-foot-long, deep water pier. Additionally,
the Isles of Shoals Steamship Company operates Its
cruise operations on the other 1.1 acres.
The NHPA was formed in 1957 as part of a. port
revitalization project. A 300-foot pier was constructed,
then expanded another 300 feet later in 1972. Today the
600-foot pier accommodates vessels up to 700 feet long.
The terminal operations are contracted out to a private
company which employs ILA union labor to ensure that
cargo is handled efficiently and safely.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers maintains a 35-foot
deep federal channel in the Piscataqua River up to the
entrance to Little Bay. To ensure continued use of the
river for shipping, the ACE recently completed a dredg-
ing project in the river to both widen the channel and to

Dear Arlene:
on behalf of the New Hampshire International Trade Association, for I
thank for your support in making this a dynamic year
educating you New Hampshire on International trade. Looking back to
this year, we have worked together to host seven Basic of Exporting
seminars, an Export school and a Trade Expo.
I
Arlene, the Port Authority has been critical in meeting the needs
of the some 800 attendees. Your in depth presentations on shipping
and documentation has illustrated the potential for NH businesses
to export and that the Port of New Hampshire is ready to meet these
needs. our efforts through these seminars has not only created an
awareness to international trade, but a demand for an active New
Hampshire Port.
on a last note, the seminars are in full swing for 1992, events are
planned for February, March and April. Mark your calendar and lets
make 1992 just as much of a success as 1991.

[ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS] NEW HAMPSHIRE ANECDOTE]
It's great to be here -- and great just to be back in the
NH
OED
Granite State. I've been here so many times, and especially to
this base.
Now, I know the economy's on everyone's mind. Maybe
sometimes I don't convey just how much I understand and care.
Well, we're having real talks here today, and I'll let you judge
for yourselves.
But let me tell you: I'm an optimist. I'm an optimist
because I know that Americans won't stand still for anything less
than the best. I'm confident because I know just what this
country has going for it: Great people with rock solid values; an
industrial base second to none; the world's finest university
system; and a role as the greatest military, political, economic
and moral power on earth.
I know times are tough in the Granite State. I also know
that you're doing something about it. Some of you here today are
directly involved in the revitalization of Pease and the Newing-
PDA
ton/Portsmouth communities. You've taken on the challenge of
at
t
leadership. You've looked hardship. You've sized up your
assets. And you're building on the sensible concept of using
2
your unique combination of an airport and a deep water port to
MeDonald
t
create the hub of an international market.
Dawrivell
And all over the state, people are doing the same thing:
Building on their strengths and turning hard times into the
beginning of a new era of growth and opportunity.
[r and d initiative]
The American economy has been my top priority from Day One.
Go back and look at the record, and you'll see that I have
promoted a growth and competitiveness strategy from the start.
We've opened up markets for American exports, and built the
foundations for a new world of free and fair trade. That's what
I did in Asia last week, and you'll see the results as quality
American businesses do the hard work of building new markets for
themselves.
Every billion dollars of merchandise exports means 20,000
USTR
American jobs. All over the world, people are as hungry for
Pasteches
American products as they were for the American ideals of
freedom. Asia is our fastest-growing market, and our own
hemisphere is the second-fastest growing market.
I've led the fight for free trade -- with the U.S.-Canada
Free Trade Agreement, and in proposing a North American Free
Trade Agreement, the Enterprise for the Americas Initiative, and
by standing firm for open markets in the Uruguay Round of GATT
negotiations.
We've invested in things that make us more competitive.
I've increased funding for basic research by 26 percent since

coming to office. Democrats have tried to cut that each year,
preferring to spend the money on water projects and monuments to
Lawrence Welk.
We're investing in technologies of the future -- high
performance computing, materials science, biotechnology. These
new technologies make us faster, tougher, smarter and healthier.
We've encouraged private sector investment. We know that
you don't create jobs out of the blue, and you don't create them
by signing a law. Jobs begin with ideas, investment, and hard
work. No investment, no jobs.
I've tried to make permanent the tax credit for research and
development. Democrats won't do it.
I've tried to cut the tax on capital gains -- which will
make us more competitive and will reward success instead of
punishing it. Democrats won't do it.
And I've proposed ways of making our workforce ready for the
Age of Competition. Our public school system was designed in the
horse-and-buggy era. I have proposed an educational revolution
to build schools for the 21st Century. But guess what?
Democrats won't do it.
I've increased government support of math and science
education by 32 percent in the last two years, and launched a
program to use our federal resources to train teachers, improve
school curriculums, and reach our goal of becoming the world's
best in math and science by the year 2000.

The Cold War is over. Now we're moving into a new world --
a different kind of world, which will be defined by excellence
and competition. We won the Cold War through determination and
ideals, and we'll win the challenge of competition the same way.
We won't back away from this challenging new world. We'll shape
it.
My Asia talks were a crucial first step in forging the
international trading system of the future. The stakes are real.
Here, in New Hampshire, you do $1.2 billion worth of export
Dawnell Wivell
business annually, and export-related industries provide nearly
OED
10 percent of the state's jobs.
The international trade structure holds the key to our
(603) 271 2391
future. We must be clear. Our goal isn't to beat anyone. It's
to show just how great we are. We do that by opening markets,
fighting to trim back government subsidies; breaking down trade
barriers; and insisting on rules of fair play.
So as we think about the harsh realities of economic growth
in the international marketplace, let me propose a four-point,
common-sense test for every plan you hear -- including mine.
Point One: Does it make economic sense? Will the plan get
the economy moving again and safeguard American jobs?
This point seems obvious, but some people seem to believe
that you build an economy up by knocking a President down -- or
by passing a law with the word "jobs" in the title.
You're in the jobs business. You know you need investment
to set up a business -- any business. You need sound national
5
economic policies -- low taxes, no unnecessary regulations; good
roads, bridges and infrastructure.
Second: Does it make America more competitive?
In the new international marketplace, Americans must meet
the demands of foreign competition, and the government must work
to open markets so that good American companies can expand their
base and create good jobs.
Third point: Does it address your basic concerns: Does it
protect what you want protected, promote what you want promoted?
A good economic plan should preserve the value of your hard-won
assets -- your home, you income, your retirement savings --
^
rather than letting bad policies nibble away at them.
It also should enable you to choose affordable housing, good
schools for your children, and decent health care for your
family. No one should have to go broke taking care of these
basic necessities.
Point four: Does the plan get Washington's house in order?
Government must get its spending under control, and eliminate
programs that don't work or that duplicate other programs.
Taxpayers deserve to get their money's worth for the $1.4
of
trillion they pay out in taxes.
So, to repeat my four-point, common-sense test: Does it make
economic sense? Does it make America more competitive? Does it
address your basic concerns? Does it get government's house in
order?
6
When people shake your hands, call you by your first name
and try to sell you an economic plan, put them to this test.
Listen carefully to my competition, and listen to what I have to
say. Frankly, I'm counting on you to sort out fact from fiction
-- and reality from rhetoric.
When you've studied the plans, asked these questions, and
made up your minds -- then send your message. Send it to
Congress and to everyone who comes knocking at your door around
here this time of year. Tell them: in New Hampshire we know the
difference between election year fluff and real leadership.
I didn't come up here with a bagful of miracles or suprises.
I won't promise to outlaw bad weather. I won't define strength
in terms of hatreds, or leadership in terms of insults.
You've seen me over the years. You know what kind of man I
am. You've seen me in office to know that I'll continue to wage
war against runaway spending. I'll fight abroad for freer and
fairer trade. I'll fight against protectionism, isolationism and
the kind of Know 1 Nothing Nativism that tries to portray weakness
and suspicion as strength. I'll fight at home -- for better
schools, a cleaner environment, safer streets, and a future true
to our abilities and ideals. 11
Thanks for this chance to talk with you and learn from you.
Good luck in all that you do -- and may God bless you and this
beautiful state of New Hampshire.
