((I've just come from the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, and I had a great time. / For my part, it sure beat last year's broccoli festival.) ) // ((I want you to know: I made my own strawberry shortcake at the festival. I was able to enjoy it right away. / Once I completed it, it didn't have to be approved by Congress.) ) // I'm glad to be with you. We've much to do these next few months -- because we've much to do these next few years. // Together, we can finish what we've started and move our country forward. / To do that, I need your support. Help me win the Presidency for four more years. // I ask your support for the simplest reason. We believe in the same things -- the important things. // We know that taxes are too high -- because our government is too big and it spends too much. / We believe in a strong defense. // We believe in faith and family -- responsibility and respect -- community and country. / We know that we put America first when we put America's families first. // So often today politicians do the easy thing -- the popular thing. / But it's the tough decisions that tell you something important about character and principle. / For I believe in 2 things that don't change from one election to the next. Things that guide each and every one of us -- each day of every year. // I believe in the things which have led us to a new era in America's history -- the important things -- jobs, family, peace. / My friends, the Cold War is over -- and America won. // The Soviet Union collapsed -- and Imperial Communism is finished. // American leadership changed the world. Republican leadership is changing America. // We are changing it by making right what is simply on the wrong track of our country. Take our courts, for example. // When the rights of the criminal are more important than the rights of the victim, that's wrong. / I'm proud of our tough stand on crime. And I'm proud of our judicial appointments -- judges who interpret, not legislate. // When kids can't say a voluntary prayer in school -- or when fathers stop coaching Little League because they're afraid of liability lawsuits -- that, too, is wrong. // So we've proposed reforms to our court system to reduce the number of frivolous lawsuits. // ((I don't want to get into trouble with the Bar Association, but I once quoted to someone that line, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away. " / He said, "What works for lawyers?") ) / Legal reform will help our legal process work. But, you know, the real answer for solving problems is to be more concerned with helping each other than suing each other. // 3 But we can't stop there. More than our court system needs reform -- like the health care system. Not because it doesn't offer the world's best quality health care, it does. We must reform the system because too many people don't have access to insurance, and all Americans deserve quality health care and the sense of well-being that it brings. Too many people worry that they'll lose their insurance if they change jobs or worse still, if they lose their job. And anybody who's had even minor surgery knows that health care costs are going through the roof. // You know the problems, but what's the solution? I can tell you what it's not. It is not to go down the road of socialized medicine. // All that means is long lines and impersonal service. We can get that at the Department of Motor Vehicles. / My approach is to make insurance available to all --keep the quality high, the bureaucracy low -- and preserve choice. / The last thing we want is the government telling you who your doctor's going to be. // Health care reform means improving the system. / There's another system where reform means changing the system. I'm talking about welfare. / Let's face it: Too often the welfare system perpetuates dependency instead of personal responsiblity and the dignity of a job. / So I've asked my departments and agencies to make it easier for state and local government to SOTU promote policies that protect and strengthen families. // We need to help make families whole -- help bring dignity back into 4 their lives and go after dead-beat fathers who run out on their children. // But we all know that the number one issue on the minds of all Americans is the economy -- and jobs. / People worried about providing for their families / meeting the everyday challenges of paying the bills, providing a home, teaching their kids, and setting aside for retirement. // The American people want this economy to work -- to create and preserve jobs. So in my State of the Union Address, I put forth a two-part plan. The first part gets business growing again right now -- upgrading plant and equipment again -- hiring workers again. / It uses incentives like an investment tax SOTO allowance. / It calls for Congress to wake up and understand how the real world works, and cut the tax on capital gains. // And to get housing back on its feet I unveiled several common sense proposals to get people buying and building homes. NAMB These proposals will create in Florida alone an estimated 26,500 additional housing starts and 51,000 new construction jobs. // Perhaps the most easily understood proposal is a $5,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers. / It's easy to understand the Democrats' plan for first-time homebuyers, too -- there isn't one. / But with our plan, young people almost able to buy that first home could do it with that extra $5,000 in their pocket. / A word about the House Democrats' so-called "plan." It's a ripoff. Listen to their deal: 25 cents a day in temporary tax relief for two years -- paid for -- typical of the Democrats -- 5 by a large permanent tax increase. // Over in the Senate, the Democrats' notions get a bidding war going -- but to pay for that they'd hike tax rates for the middle class -- people making $35,000 a year -- people like teachers, factory workers, and everyday Floridians. / The last thing our economy needs now is a $100 billion tax increase by that Democratic Congress. // We drew a line in the sand in the Persian Gulf and kept our word. I'll draw another line in the sand right now. If the Democrats send me nonsense like the bill passed through the House, I'll send it right back. I will veto it the minute it hits my desk. // Instead of their phony maneuvers, Congress ought to pass my plan to make America more competitive. Here's the deadline: March 20, the first day of spring. / Here's the challenge: Give American workers a spring break. / No more games / no more empty gestures / just pass my plan and get this economy moving./ This also means that Congress must also pass the second part of my economic plan this year. It's a road map to make America còmpetitive in the fast-changing world of the 21st Century. // Our plan revolutionizes America's education system, and none Vance too soon. I was reading that the average 8th-grader spends four Grant times as much as time watching TV as doing homework. / There are Dept Ed. 219-1659 some wonderful education programs on TV -- no question. But TV shouldn't be America's babysitter -- that's wrong. // We can help change that by making our education system demand responsibility and results. // Our plan will also get the 6 billions of dollars worth of government research and development more quickly into the hands of our private sector businesses and workers. Get spectacular technological advances off the shelf SON and into the marketplace. / That'll produce a real return on your tax dollars investment -- helping to create new products and new jobs. / And our plan provides tax relief to strengthen the family. / We raise the tax deduction for children by $500 now dollars. Make no mistake, I want this plan passed in this session of Congress // Behind all of this is an important decision for America: To succeed economically at home, we have to lead economically abroad. Some don't want us to lead -- think we can't compete -- want us to shut out the rest of the world. These people couldn't be more wrong. // More than 200,000 workers in Florida owe their Bill Kolarik jobs to manufactured exports. Last year alone more than $5 Custons Commoree through billion in exports went out of the Tampa Customs District. The 377-2456 Rebae way to create jobs here isn't to cut and run. We're not going to 763-5740 Highee Hig do that - - ever. / The way to create jobs is by opening markets for exports everywhere in the world. I am going to fight hard in every foreign market to do just that. // I'm also going to fight hard in every primary -- not for my sake -- but for America's. For, you see, I happen to believe this: Just as America is the hope of the world -- Republican leadership is the hope of America. // I believe the American people want to hear about how we're going to address our country's challenges. They want to hear 7 solutions, not just a lot of name calling and running this country down. // For you and I -- we believe in America. We know that we are number one -- make no mistake about it. / We are optimistic about its future -- about keeping inflation low and our confidence high / about protecting the savings of our elderly. / And we believe in our party -- as I believe in you. // The Florida Primary is crucial: I need your help to keep our party strong and united so we can win this fall. // Yes, we have much to do. But I guarantee you we'll get the job done. Not through the bureaucrats of trend and fashion -- but through the people whose values -- values like love of country and love of God -- are never / ever / out of fashion./ Yes, we have many challenges before us. And I guarantee you, we will meet them -- each and every one of them -- meet them from the great Panhandle to the tip of the Florida Keys. Yes, there's an election in November -- and I guarantee you, we will win it. I want to be your president for another four years. Thank you and God bless the United States of America. # # # MAR-03-1992 16:49 FROM TAMPA STAFF OFFICE TO 12024566218 P.02 TAB F TAMPA, FLORIDA Omal Westshere Hotel Ballroom Bush/Quayle '92 Fundraising Luncheon Dais Wednesday, March 4, 1992 Podium 24REV.

Florida's 1990 exports were 57 percent above their 1987 level. Only six states exported more merchandise than Florida in 1990. Five industries accounted for 67 percent of Florida's exports in 1990: chemicals ($3.0 billion), transportation equipment ($2.9 billion), computers & industrial machinery ($2.2 billion), electric & electronic equipment ($1.7 billion), and food products ($1.1 billion). * Florida's exporters diversified into 21 additional foreign markets during 1987-90. The state exported to 156 markets in 1987 and to 177 markets in 1990. Florida's exports to Canada--the leading U.S. trade partner and Florida's largest foreign market--more than doubled from $692 million in 1987 to $1.5 billion in 1990. Florida's 1990 exports to other important markets were: Venezuela ($802 million), the Dominican Republic ($760 million), Brazil ($687 million), Colombia ($670 million), Japan ($611 million), and the United Kingdom ($574 million). The state's exports to Mexico--another major U.S. trade partner and Florida's eighth- largest export market--more than doubled from $219 million in 1987 to $494 million in 1990. Leading exports to Mexico in 1990 were: chemical products ($98 million), computers and industrial machinery ($93 million), transportation equipment ($48 million), electric & electronic equipment ($45 million), and paper products ($43 million). In 1987, the latest year for which export-related employment data are available, about 213,600 workers in Florida owed their jobs to exports of manufactured goods. -- An estimated 77,700 manufacturing jobs were directly supported by export sales of manufactures. -- Another 135,900 jobs in non-manufacturing industries--e.g., services, wholesale & retail trade, communications, and transportation--were indirectly sustained by manufactures exports. The Miami-Ft. Lauderdale metropolitan area in 1986 exported an estimated $1.4 billion of manufactures, which sustained about 12,500 workers in manufacturing. The Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metropolitan area exported about $1.1 billion of manufactures, which supported about 10,100 manufacturing jobs. In the Jacksonville area, $438 million of manufactures exports supported about 3100 workers.

MISER data are drawn from Census Bureau data tape number EQ912, which is issued quarterly. This tape aggregates export-origin information from Shippers' Export Declarations (SEDs) which are filed for virtually all merchandise exported from the United States. MISER-Census statistics on state exports are fairly reliable, although like most data series the numbers have important limitations. These limitations, as well as strengths of the data, are outlined below. State Export Date: Strengths and Limitations On every SED, shippers are asked, among other things, to provide the "point (state) of origin" of the export, This question was originally inserted on the SED to identify transportation patterns and requirements. The goal was to pinpoint the origin of movement (the state where an item began its export journey), not the origin of manufacture (the state where an item was produced). To identify the origin of movement, instructions for filling out the SED specify that shippers should choose from among the following definitions for "point of origin": (1) The state in which the merchandise actually starts its journey to the port of export. This can be either the location of the factory where the export item was produced or, in many cases, the location of a distributor, regional warchouse, or cargo processing facility. (2) The state of the commodity having the greatest dollar value in a multi-product shipment. (3) The "state of consolidation," which is the state in which various parts of a multi-product export order are readied for shipment. (4) The Foreign Trade Zone for exports leaving an FTZ (an FTZ is similar in principle to a bonded warehouse). Using the FTZ "state of origin" definition, an export produced in Ohio, but shipped from an FTZ located in Florida, would show up in state export statistics as & Florida export. The wide-ranging definitions for "state of origin," coupled with the fact that different shippers tend to interpret the guidelines in different ways, make it highly unlikely that all the exports attributed to any given state were actually produced in that state. Nevertheless, our judgment is that the state of origin coincides with the state of manufacture much of the time. We believe that the export journey often begins at the factory gate-or close to it. This conclusion stems from numerous discussions with exporters. statistical specialists at the Census Bureau, and other relevant sources. We recognize, however, that an indeterminate percentage of shippers utilize point-of-origin definitions that have little bearing on the state of manufacture. Sometimes, for example, shippers will specify states where exports are temporarily warehoused. The problem is most acute with respect to nonmanufactures. Exporters of agricultural products, for instance, frequently specify the location of loading and storage terminals, not the location of producing farms, as the state of origin. As a result, the data tend to understate exports from agricultural states (e.g., South Dakota), while overstating exports from states having ports that ship large quantities of farm products (e.g., Louisiana). Another problem is that some shippers simply leave the "point of origin" block blank on the SED. On the Census tape, about 25 percent of the value of U.S. exports is typically unallocated by state. MISER tries to deal with this shortcoming by applying a formula to "unallocated" data. breaking down the category and reassigning export values to individual states. Although resulting numbers give a much neater picture of state exports. the degree of precision of the figures is unknown because MISER's reallocation procedure cannot be validated. Finally, MISER-Consus state export data for the years 1987-90 are not fully comparable across the entire time series. First, revisions in the Standard Industrial Classification system were implemented in 1988. Thus, 1988-90 state exports for individual industries are classified somewhat differently than in 1987. Further complicating the situation is that, beginning with 1989 data, reporting of U.S. export statistics shifted from the long-standing "Schedule B" nomenclature to the new Harmonized System (HS). This move introduced a number of classification problems which the Census Bureau is currently working to resolve. Although the MISER-Consus data have major weaknesses, the fact remains that these data are the most up-to-date source of information on state exports. The only alternative source for state export figures is a Census Bureau series which is typically issued with a three-year lag. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide quantitative estimates of data reliability for specific states. This is partly due to resource constraints and partly due to the nature of the data-collection process. To sum up, care must be taken when drawing conclusions from the MISER-Census series. One should generally not rely solely on these data when making statements about the contribution of exports to a given state's overall economic health. Corroborating evidence from other sources, when available, is desirable.

Things that guide each and every one of us -- each day of every year. // I believe in the things which have led us to a new era in America's history -- the important things -- jobs, family, peace. / My friends, the Cold War is over -- and America won. // The Soviet Union collapsed -- and Imperial Communism is finished. // American leadership changed the world. Republican leadership is changing America. // We are changing it by making right what is simply on the wrong track of our country. Take our courts, for example. // When the rights of the criminal are more important than the rights of the victim, that's wrong. / I'm proud of our tough stand on crime. And I'm proud of our judicial appointments -- judges who interpret, not legislate. // When kids can't say a voluntary prayer in school -- or when fathers stop coaching Little League because they're afraid of liability lawsuits -- that, too, is wrong. // So we've proposed reforms to our court system to reduce the number of frivolous lawsuits. // ( (I don't want to get into trouble with the Bar Association, but I once quoted to someone that line, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away. / He said, "What works for lawyers?") ) / Legal reform will help our legal process work. But, you know, the real answer for solving problems is to be more concerned with helping each other than suing each other. // 3 But we can't stop there. More than our court system needs reform -- like the health care system. Not because it doesn't offer the world's best quality health care, it does. We must reform the system because too many people don't have access to insurance, and all Americans deserve quality health care and the sense of well-being that it brings. Too many people worry that they'll lose their insurance if they change jobs or worse still, if they lose their job. And anybody who's had even minor surgery knows that health care costs are going through the roof. 11 You know the problems, but what's the solution? I can tell you what it's not. It is not to go down the road of socialized medicine. // All that means is long lines and impersonal service. We can get that at the Department of Motor Vehicles. / My approach is to make insurance available to all --keep the quality high, the bureaucracy low -- and preserve choice. / The last thing we want is the government telling you who your doctor's going to be. // Health care reform means improving the system. / There's another system where reform means changing the system. I'm talking about welfare. / Let's face it: Too often the welfare system perpetuates dependency instead of personal responsiblity and the dignity of a job. / So I've asked my departments and agencies to make it easier for state and local government to promote policies that protect and strengthen families. // We need to help make families whole -- help bring dignity back into 4 their lives and go after dead-beat fathers who run out on their children. // But we all know that the number one issue on the minds of all Americans is the economy -- and jobs. / People worried about providing for their families / meeting the everyday challenges of paying the bills, providing a home, teaching their kids, and setting aside for retirement. // The American people want this economy to work -- to create and preserve jobs. So in my State of the Union Address, I put forth a two-part plan. The first part gets business growing again right now -- upgrading plant and equipment again -- hiring workers again. / It uses incentives like an investment tax allowance. / It calls for Congress to wake up and understand how the real world works, and cut the tax on capital gains. // And to get housing back on its feet I unveiled several common sense proposals to get people buying and building homes. These proposals will create in Florida alone an estimated 26,500 additional housing starts and 51,000 new construction jobs. // Perhaps the most easily understood proposal is a $5,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers. / It's easy to understand the Democrats' plan for first-time homebuyers, too -- there isn't one. / But with our plan, young people almost able to buy that first home could do it with that extra $5,000 in their pocket. / A word about the House Democrats' so-called "plan." It's a ripoff. Listen to their deal: 25 cents a day in temporary tax relief for two years -- paid for -- typical of the Democrats -- 5 by a large permanent tax increase. // Over in the Senate, the Democrats' notions get a bidding war going -- but to pay for that they'd hike tax rates for the middle class -- people making $35,000 a year -- people like teachers, factory workers, and everyday Floridians. / The last thing our economy needs now is a $100 billion tax increase by that Democratic Congress. // We drew a line in the sand in the Persian Gulf and kept our word. I'll draw another line in the sand right now. If the Democrats send me nonsense like the bill passed through the House, I'll send it right back. I will veto it the minute it hits my desk. // Instead of their phony maneuvers, Congress ought to pass my plan to make America more competitive. Here's the deadline: March 20, the first day of spring. / Here's the challenge: Give American workers a spring break. / No more games / no more empty gestures / just pass my plan and get this economy moving. / This also means that Congress must also pass the second part of my economic plan this year. It's a road map to make America competitive in the fast-changing world of the 21st Century. // Our plan revolutionizes America's education system, and none too soon. I was reading that the average 8th-grader spends four times as much as time watching TV as doing homework. / There are some wonderful education programs on TV -- no question. But TV shouldn't be America's babysitter -- that's wrong. // We can help change that by making our education system demand responsibility and results. // Our plan will also get the 6 billions of dollars worth of government research and development more quickly into the hands of our private sector businesses and workers. Get spectacular technological advances off the shelf exports create over Jobs 200,000 and into the marketplace. / That'll produce a real return on your tax dollars investment -- helping to create new products and Floridas' manufactured new jobs. / And our plan provides tax relief to strengthen the family. / We raise the tax deduction for children by $500 dollars. Make no mistake, I want this plan passed in this session of Congress. // Behind all of this is an important decision for America: To succeed economically at home, we have to lead economically Dist. abroad. Some don't want us to lead -- think we can't compete -- want us to shut out the rest of the world. These people couldn't over 5 billion in out of More Uhr 200,000 workers in Florida owe their jobs be more wrong. // Here's a statistic: Nearly Million Tampa Customs to manufacted expors.

We're not going to do that -- ever. / The way experts to create jobs is by opening markets for exports everywhere in the world. I am going to fight hard in every foreign market to do just that. // I'm also going to fight hard in every primary -- not for my sake -- but for America's. For, you see, I happen to believe this: Just as America is the hope of the world -- Republican leadership is the hope of America. // I believe the American people want to hear about how we're going to address our country's challenges.

A. majority of students (63%) turned 14 years old in 1988 and about one third (36%) turned 15 or older in 1988. About 1 percent turned 13 or younger. About 88% of students are enrolled in public schools, 8% in Catholic schools and 5% in other private schools. o Three-quarters of the eighth graders are enrolled in middle schools or junior high schools. 0 Overall, 18% of the students reported they had repeated at least one grade. Among those who ever repeated a grade, eighth grade students 15 and older are far more likely than younger students to have reported repeating a grade in school (1% of 14 year olds, 43% of 15 year olds and 87% of students 16 or over reported they had repeated a grade). 0 The typical eighth grader spends four times as many hours watching TV per week as on homework (21.4 hours watching TV, 5.6 hours doing homework). The average eighth grader spends only about 2 hours a week on reading outside of school. iii MAR 1 '92 16:15 FROM USTR PAGE. 001 Instructions to Sender: Please be certain all shaded areas are completed and no staples.

In order for the President to have reasonable, up-to-date estimates of state exports and related employment, USTR and Commerce have agreed to the development of estimates for 1991, based on data for 1987, the most recent year available from the Bureau of the Census. Florida At your request, USTR has made such estimates for Georgia. They are provided, along with a description of the method of estimation, at the end of this memorandum. USTR is currently developing similar estimates for all 50 states. These estimates should supersede estimates for 1990 circulated earlier. Because the 1991 figures are based on 4-year extrapolations of available data, both USTR and Commerce agree that they should be carefully and accurately characterized as "estimates" when used. In addition, the Commerce Department has a strong preference that they be referred to as "estimates based on national trends." Any technical questions about estimates should be addressed to: David Walters or Tony Villamil Chief Economist Chief Economist USTR U.S. Department of Commerce (202) 395-3583 (202) 377-8181 In regard to the President's use of state export numbers, Dr. Villamil has suggested that someone check with local Chambers of Commerce as they sometimes produce estimates of state exports and state. related employment already in significant circulation in the MAR 1 '92 16:17 FROM USTR PAGE. 003 2 Florida Estimates for Georgia: 1987 1991 (Estimated) Exports (direct and indirect) of Manu- $8.8 $ 15.5 factures $7.7 billion $13.7 billion Manufacturing and Non- 213,600 manufacturing Florida's Employment Related to Georgia's Export of 307,001 Manufactured Product 114,400 164,984 The following estimation technique was used: - Florida Each 2-digit SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) category of Georgia's direct and indirect exports of manufactures reported for 1987 was increased by the rate of growth between 1987 and 1991 of U.S. exports (all 50 states) in the same category. -- Florida Manufacturing and non-manufacturing employment related to Georgia's exports of manufactures in 1987 was increased proportionally to the increase in the value of nominal exports in each SIC category. -- The 1991 exports for all SIC manufacturing categories were totalled for an estimate of the current dollar Florida value of Georgia's direct and indirect exports of manufactures in 1991. : 1991 export-related employment was similarly totalled for all SIC manufacturing categories. This 1991 employment total was then reduced 18.7 percent to take account of productivity gains in export employment and price inflation in export values between 1987 and 1991. This reduction was estimated from data provided by Dr. Villamil's office on the number jobs supported by each billion dollars in total U.S. exports in 1987 and 1990. A figure for 1991 was extrapolated from the 1987 to 1990 data.

((I've just come from the Strawberry Festival in Plant City. / For my part, I'm just glad it wasn't a broccoli festival. )) // ( (I want you to know: I made my own strawberry shortcake at the festival. I was able to enjoy it right away. / Once I completed it, it didn't have to be approved by Congress. )) // I'm glad to be with you. We've much to do these next few months -- because we've much to do these next few years. // Together, we can finish what we've started and move our country forward. / To do that, I need your support. Help me win the Presidency for four more years. // I ask your support for the simplest reason. We believe in the same things -- the important things. // We know that taxes are too high -- because our government is too big and it costs too much. / We believe in a strong defense. // We believe in faith and family -- responsibility and respect -- community and country. / We know that we put America first when we put America's families first. // So often today politicians do the easy thing -- the popular thing. / But it's the tough decisions that tell you something important about character and principle. / For I believe in 2 things that don't change from one election to the next. Things that guide each and every one of us -- each day of every year. // I believe in the things which have led us to a new era in America's history. Things like liberty / freedom / human dignity / self-respect. / My friends, the Cold War is over -- and America won. // The Soviet Union collapsed -- and Imperial Communism is finished. // American leadership changed the world. Republican leadership can change America. // We can change it by making right what is simply on the wrong track of our country. Take our courts, for example. // When the rights of the criminal are more important than the rights of the victim, that's wrong. / I'm proud of our tough stand on crime. And I'm proud of our judicial appointments -- judges who interpret, not legislate. // When kids can't say a voluntary prayer in school -- or when fathers stop coaching Little League because they're afraid of liability lawsuits -- that, too, is wrong. // Or when doctors stop delivering babies because they fear a malpractice lawsuit -- or when people stop volunteering to help each other because they fear ambulance-chasing lawyers. / This is not the America we want. // Today a sharp lawyer would tell the Good Samaritan -- keep on walking. I want to change that. So we've proposed reforms to our court system to address the question of frivolous lawsuits. ((I don't want to get into trouble with the Bar Association, but I once quoted to someone that line, "An apple a day keeps the 3 doctor away." / He said, "What works for lawyers?") ) / Legal reform will help our legal process work. But, you know, the real answer for solving problems is to be more concerned with helping each other than suing each other. // But we can't stop there. We also have to reform the health care system. Not because it doesn't offer the world's best quality health care, it does. We must reform our health system because too many people don't have access to health insurance. Too many people worry that they'll lose their insurance if they change jobs or worse still, if they lose their job. And anybody who's had even minor surgery knows that health care costs are going through the roof. // You know the problems, but what's the solution? I'll first tell you what it's not. It is not to go down the road of socialized medicine. // All that means is long lines and impersonal service. We can get that at the Department of Motor Vehicles. / My approach is to make insurance available to all -- keep the quality high, the bureaucracy low -- and preserve choice. / The last thing we want is the government telling you who your doctor's going to be. // Health care reform means improving the system. / There's another system where reform means changing the system. I'm talking about welfare. / Let's face it: Too often the welfare system perpetuates dependency instead of personal responsiblity and the dignity of a job. / So I've asked my departments and agencies to make it easier for state and local government to 4 reform policies that promote broken families. // We need to help make families whole -- help bring dignity back into their lives and go after dead-beat fathers who run out on their children. // But we all know what the number one issue on the minds of all Americans is -- it's the economy. People worried about their jobs -- providing for their families / meeting the everyday challenges of paying the bills, providing a home, teaching our kids, and setting aside for our retirement. // The American people want this economy to work. So in my State of the Union Address, I put forth a two-part plan. The first part gets business growing again right now -- upgrading plant and equipment again -- hiring workers again. / It uses incentives like an investment tax allowance. / It calls for Congress to wake up and understand how the real world works, and cut the tax on capital gains. // And to get housing back on its feet I unveiled several common sense proposals to get people buying and building homes. // Perhaps the most easily understood proposal is a $5,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers. / It's easy to understand the Democrats' plan for first-time homebuyers, too -- there isn't one. / But with our plan, young people almost able to buy that first home could do it with the extra $5,000 in their pocket. / A word about the House Democrats' so-called "plan." It's really a ripoff. Listen to their deal: 25 cents a day in temporary tax relief for two years -- paid for -- typical of the Democrats -- by a large permanent tax increase. // Over in the 5 Senate, the Democrats' notions get a bidding war going -- but to pay for that they'd hike tax rates for the middle class -- people making $35,000 a year -- people like teachers, factory workers, and everyday Floridians. / Here's what the Democrats won't tell you: Their plan adds more than $30 billion to the deficit, and the jobs it creates are more likely to be for more tax collectors. The last thing our economy needs now is a tax increase by that Democratic Congress. We drew a line in the Sand in the Persian Gulf and kept our word. I'll draw another line in the sand right now. If the Democrats send me this nonsense they're talking about, I'll send it right back. I will veto it the minute it hits my desk. // Instead of their phony maneuvers, Congress ought to pass my plan to make America more competitive. Here's the deadline: March 20, the first day of spring. / Here's the challenge: Give American workers a spring break. / No more games / no more empty gestures / just pass my plan and get this economy moving./ This means that Congress must also pass the second part of my economic plan this year. It's a road map to make America competitive in the fast-changing world of the 21st Century. // Our plan revolutionizes America's education system, and none too soon. I was reading that by age 12, American kids have spent 12,000 hours in school and 15,000 watching television. There are some wonderful educational programs on TV -- no question. But TV shouldn't be America's babysitter -- that's wrong. // We can change that by making our education system demand responsibility 6 and results. // Our plan will also get the billions of dollars worth of government research and development more quickly into the hands of our private sector businesses and workers. Get spectacular technological advances off the shelf and into the marketplace. / That'll produce a real return on your tax dollars investment -- helping to create new products and new jobs. / And our plan provides tax relief to strengthen the family. / We raise the tax deduction for children by $500 dollars. Make no mistake, I want this plan passed in this session of Congress. // Behind all of this is an important decision for America: To succeed economically at home, we have to lead economically abroad. / Some don't want us to lead -- think we can't compete - - want us to shut out the rest of the world. These people couldn't be more wrong. The way to create jobs here isn't to cut and run. We're not going to do that -- ever. / The way to create jobs is by opening markets for exports everywhere in the world. I am going to fight hard in every foreign market to do just that. I'm also going to fight hard in every primary -- not for my sake -- but for America's. For, you see, I happen to believe this: Just as America is the hope of the world -- Republican leadership is the hope of America. // We saw that in the eight years Ronald Reagan led America. Last year, we saw it in the Persian Gulf. // ( (Somebody was talking about Tampa's Norm Schwartzkopf, and he said: "I've figured out how the Buccaneers can make the Super Bowl. All they have to do is convince Norm to coach. ")) // For the last three 7 years I have stood with Republican leaders against a Congress that would undermine the values we fought for in the Gulf. Twenty-five times these values were upheld -- vetoes of bad legislation sustained. / And the next five years for America are just too important to entrust to the inexperienced. // I believe the American people want to hear about how we're going to address our country's challenges. They want to hear solutions, not just a lot of name calling and running this country down. // For you and I -- we believe in America. We know that we are number one -- make no mistake about it. / We are optimistic about its future -- about keeping inflation low and our confidence high / about protecting the savings of our elderly. / And we believe in our party -- as I believe in you. // The Florida Primary is crucial: I need your help to keep our party strong and united so we can win this fall. // Yes, we have much to do. But I guarantee you we'll get the job done. Not through the bureaucrats of trend and fashion -- but through the people whose values -- values like love of country and love of God -- are never / ever / out of fashion. / Yes, we have many challenges before us. And I guarantee you, we will meet them -- each and every one of them -- meet them from the great Panhandle to the tip of the Florida Keys. Yes, there's an election in November -- and I guarantee you, we will win it. I want to be your president for another four years. Thank you and God bless the United States of America. # # # February 22, 1992 MEMORANDUM RE: TAMPA BQ FUNDRAISER LUNCH FROM: CAROL AARHUS SUBJECT: PRE-ADVANCE NOTES This event is pretty low-key. It's to 450 donors at the Omni Westshore on March 4 at 1:30 p.m. They are probably going to do pool coverage only, because the room is so pathetically small. We can't have a teleprompter because of the pathetically small room. Call Sally Harrell at Florida BQ for details. This will probably not get major coverage because of the rally later in the day. And also because the room is pathetically small. Tampa is not a big Bush area. This would be a great event if the event coordinator had booked a larger room. For some political reason we have to have it at this hotel -- the advance team fought for a bigger hotel nearby, but the event coordinator had a fit and started spewing at everyone about how unbearable we were being, and she about started to cry.

Thank you, Florida, General Schwarzkopf. (Applause.) and thank you to the people of Florida. And thank you, most of all, MORE - 2 - Now to the politics at hand. We had a good day yesterday. You may have trouble reading that, but we had a very good day yesterday. (Laughter.) Somebody asked me what does it take to win? And I say to them, I can't remember, what did it take to win the Super Bowl? or maybe Steinbrenner, my friend George will tell us what it takes for the Yanks to win. One run. But I went to the Strawberry Festival this morning and ate a piece of shortcake over there. Able to enjoy it right away. And once I completed it, it didn't have to be approved by Congress, so I just went ahead and ate it. (Laughter and applause.) That leads me into what I want to talk about today. (Applause.) We've got a lot to do in these next few months, because really we've got a lot to do in the next few years. And I am convinced that together, and I am so grateful for your support, that we can finish what we've started and move this country forward. And to do that, I need your support: Help me win the presidency for four more years. (Applause.) And I ask for your support for the simplest of reasons: I think we believe in the same things, in the same values, the same important things. We know that taxes are too high because our government is too big and it spends too much. And we believe in a strong defense. And you listen to the proposals in Washington today. They have all these big spendthrift, political programs. And how are they going to take it? They're going to take it right out of the muscle of the defense of this country and I am not going to permit that as President of the United States. (Applause.) We believe in faith and family, responsibility and respect. We believe in community and, of course, country. And we believe there's a place for getting these values back. I happen to believe there's a place for voluntary prayer in our children's classrooms, and I'd like to see it back. (Applause.) I'm firmly convinced of this, that we put America first when we put America's families first. So often today, politicians can do the easy thing, the popular thing. But it's the tough decisions that tell you something about character and principle. For I believe in things that don't change from one election to the next, things that guide each and every one of us each day of the year. And I believe in things that have led us to a new era in America's history, the important - fundamentally important things. I mentioned family, but certainly world peace, certainly jobs. The Cold War is over, and if you want to count your blessings, there's one: The Cold War is over and America won and the Soviet Union collapsed. (Applause.) The Soviet Union collapsed and the imperial communism, the communism without reach, is finished. It's dead all around the world. so make no mistake about it. As a result of this tremendous victory in Desert storm, our credibility as a country has never ever been higher around the world. And it was our leadership that changed the world. And now what I want to do is see us come together, men and women of this great city, all across our country, come together and use that same spirit, that same leadership to change America. We are changing it by setting right what is simply on the wrong track in our country. Take our courts, for example. When the rights of the criminal are more important than the rights of the victim, that's wrong. And I'm proud of our tough stand on crime and I'm proud of our judicial appointments, judges who inerpret and do not legislate from the federal bench. (Applause.) And when fathers stop coaching Little League because they're afraid of liability lawsuits, that, too, is wrong. And, so, we've proposed reforms to our court system to reduce the number of MORE - 3 - frivolous lawsuits. (Applause.) I don't want to get into any trouble with the Bar Association around here, but I once quoted to someone that line, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." And he said, "Yeah, well what works for lawyers?" (Laughter.) Legal reform will help our legal process work. But, you know, the real answer for solving problems is to be more concerned with helping each other than suing each other. That seems to me a fundamental American principle. Well, look, we can't stop there. More than our court system needs reform -- like our health care system. This is one of great concern to the people of Florida, not because it doesn't offer the world's best quality health care. It does. I think we'd all agree we are blessed by the best quality health care in the world. We must reform the system because too many people do not have access to insurance. And all Americans deserve quality health care in the sense of well-being that it brings. And too many people worry that they' lose their insurance if they change jobs or, worse still, if they lose their job. And anybody who's had even minor surgery knows that health care costs are going right through the roof. Well, you know the problem, but what's the solution? I can tell you what it's not first. It is not to go down the road of nationalized or socialized, expensive programs that we hear from the Democratic side. (Applause.) All that means -- you look at those other programs over there -- all that means is long lines and impersonal service. Well, look, you can go down to the Department of Motor Vehicles for that, you don't have to go change the medical system. (Laughter.) So our approach -- make insurance available to all; keep the quality high the bureaucracy low and preserve choice for the patient. And the last thing we want and need in this country is for the government telling you who your doctor is going to be. Health care reform means improving the system, and that is what I'm attempting to do with this new comprehensive health care program that we have now. There's another system where reform means changing the system, and I'm talking about the welfare system. Let's face it: Too often that system perpetuates dependency instead of personal responsibility and the dignity of a job. Too often kids are born into yet another generation of despair -- no hope, no dignity, simply another generation of welfare recipients. And we've got to change that. I've asked the departments and agencies to make it easier for the state and local governments to promote policies that protect and strengthen families. And we do that through what we call a much more flexible waiver system. We need to help make families whole. Help bring dignity back into their lives and go after the deadbeat fathers who run out on their kids. That's what we need to be doing in reforming and strengthening the welfare system in this country. We all know when it gets down to -- certainly it's true now -- Al and I were talking about it at lunch -- you can read it in these primary elections across the country -- we all know that the number one issue on the minds of all Americans is the economy and jobs. People worried about providing for their families, meeting the everyday challenges of paying their bills, providing a home, teaching their kids and setting aside for retirement. People are worried. Those that have a job, white-collar job, perhaps, wonder whether they have it tomorrow. The American people want this economy to work.' They want it to create -- preserve jobs. so in my State of the Union address I put forward a two-part plan. And the first part will get MORE - 4 - business stimulated right now. It would bring confidence back now: upgrading plant and equipment again; hiring workers again. And it uses incentives like the investment tax allowance, rapid depreciation. It calls for Congress to wake up and understand how gains. the real world works and create jobs by cutting the tax on capital To get housing back on its feet, I unveiled several common-sense proposals to get people buying and building homes. And these proposals will create, in Florida alone, an estimated $26,500 additional housing starts and 51,000 new construction jobs. Perhaps the most easily understood proposal along those lines is a $5,000 tax credit for first-time homebuyers. And with our plan, young people almost able to buy that first home could do it with that extra $5,000 in their pockets. This is good. This is stimulative. This will work. This will restore confidence. (Applause.) I hate to be critical at a wonderfully-nonpartisan lunch like this. But a word about the Democrats' plan: It's a rip-off. (Laughter.) I've studied it; I've considered it carefully. It's rip-off. Listen to the deal: Twenty-five cents a day in temporary a tax relief for two years, for individuals, paid for, typically, by a large, permanent tax increase. And over in the senate, the bill the Democrats are working on is not much better than the one in the House. Its centerpiece is a huge tax increase. And the last thing our economy needs now is $100-billion tax hike. And we drew a line in the sand in the Persian Gulf and kept our word. And I'll draw another line in the sand right now: If the Democrats send me a monstrosity like the bill that passed through the House, I will send it right back vetoing it the day I get it. (Applause.) We are not going to let that happen to the taxpayer in this country. (Applause.) And they ought to pass this plan and pass it soon to make our country more competitive. And here's the deadline: March 20th, the first day of spring. What a glorious day for some action out of the United States Congress. Just pass the plan and get this economy moving again. That's my charge to them, and if they don't do it, then we'll have to see what happens after the 20th. But I'll tell you -- I think the American people want to say, set politics aside for a minute, pass the President's plan, and then they and I can go to general quarters and fight each other all the way to the fall playing politics. Right now, the American people need action that will stimulate this economy. (Applause.) There's a broader gauge. The second part of the plan, road map to make America competitive in this fast-changing world of ours. Our plan revolutionizes the American education system. None too soon. We've got a brilliant program called America 2000. Doesn't fine-tune, it just revolutionizes the education system in this country. Broad support from the Democratic governors, Republican governors alike. I was reading that the average eighth-grader spends four times as much time watching TV as doing homework. And that is wrong. And we can help change that by making our education system demand responsibility and demand results. Our plan will also get the billions of dollars' worth of government R & D, research and development, more quickly into the hands of our private-sector businesses and workers. That's the second part of this longer-term plan. Get spectacular technological advances off the shelf and into the marketplace. We're turning to the federal labs now and working partnerships with business to get that genius, that inventive genius in those labs applied to U.S. commercial technology. Get those advances off the shelf and into the marketplace. And that's going to produce a real return on your tax dollars investment -- helping to create new products, helping to create new jobs. MORE - 5 - The plan provides tax relief to strengthen the family. We raise the tax deduction for children by $500. And make no mistake about it: I want all of this plan passed now. I want it passed as soon as possible. Behind all of this is a very important decision for America. TO succeed economically at home, we have to lead economically abroad. Some don't want us to lead. Some don't think we can compete. They want us to shut out the rest of the world. Well, those people could not be more wrong. Look over your shoulders to the '30s, to the days of protection and isolation and America first in that sense. Look what happened to this country. Markets shrunk and we ended up in the worst depression the world has seen certainly in modern times. They couldn't be more wrong. More than 200,000 workers in Florida owe their jobs to manufactured exports. Last year alone, more than $5 billion in exports went out through the Tampa Customs District. The way to create jobs here isn't to cut and run, and we're not going to do that -- ever. The way to create jobs is by opening markets -- opening markets for exports everywhere in the world. And I'm going to fight hard in every foreign market to do that, and I'm going to resist --- I don't care about the politics -- I am going to resist the siren's call for protection. It is not good for America. We are the leaders of the world, not in retreat. (Applause.) And I'm going to fight hard, lastly, in every primary -- not for my sake, but for America's. I believe fundamentally we're an optimistic people. We saw it after Desert Storm. We saw the country come together and we were lifted up. And now we're subjected to some tough economic times, and there's some icing on that cake with a lot of gloom and doom over and over again coming out of the political process itself. I believe the American people want to hear about how we're going to address our country's challenges. They want to hear solutions, not just a lot of name-calling and running this country down. And I might say parenthetically, again without any regard to the primaries, I think we've got to come together as a country to resist the politics of ugliness and hate, racial bigotry and discrimination. We've got to stand against that wherever we are. (Applause.) so, the bottom line is, I need your help. I need your help to keep our Party strong, keep it united so we can win this fall. And, yes, there are many challenges before us, and I guarantee you we're going to meet them. we are the United States of America. We're going to come out of these rough economic times. We are going to continue to lead the world. And I, as President, am going to continue to see that our national security is second to none around the world. We're going to meet these challenges, meet them all across the state of Florida from the Panhandle down to the Florida Keys. And, yes, there's an important election next week and then there's another one in November. And I say this I hope without arrogance: I am confident I am going to win this nomination and I am confident I am going to win this election. Because I believe that the values I've touched on here today are the fundamental values of the American people. And I will do my level-best. I will continue to try my hardest in tough times and I will continue to lead the greatest, freest nation on the face of the Earth. But I need your support on Tuesday and I'll need it again in November. Thank you all and may God bless our great country. (Applause.) END 1:50 P.M. EST Services of Mead Data Central, Inc.

Proprietary to the United Press International 1990 August 7, 1990, Tuesday, BC cycle SECTION: Regional News DISTRIBUTION: Tennessee LENGTH: 671 words HEADLINE: Study finds students bored, watch too much television BYLINE: BY SUE ALLISON DATELINE: NASHVILLE, Tenn. KEYWORD: NCSL-SCHOOLS BODY: A federal survey of 25,000 eighth graders, their parents and teachers found nearly half the students are bored and they spend far more time watching television than doing homework. Christopher Cross, assistant secretary of education for research and improvement, told the National Conference of State Legislatures the same students will be surveyed every two years to find out how they are faring in school and at home. ''Most of our students aren't learning what they need to know,'' Cross said. He said U.S. schools are too large and impersonal and in many cases teachers do not help students plan their futures. Also, Cross said, parents are not involved in their childrens' educations. 'They are assigned little homework and they do even less,'' he said. 'They spend four times as much time watching television as doing homework. They spend too much time after school unsupervised, and the more time they spend alone the worse their grades.' Parents 'seldom ask'' about school or check homework, Cross said. 'The level of parental involvement both with their children and their children's schools is frighteningly low,' he said. ''From the students' point of view, 43 percent say they have had such discussions with their parents only twice or less. But the blame should not be placed soley on parents, Cross told state lawmakers. Schools are not doing enough to encourage parental involvement, he said. ''Nearly two-thirds of the parents said they had never been contacted by officials at their child's eighth grade school about the student's academic program, Cross said. LEXIS'NEXIS'LEXIS'NEXIS Services of Mead Data Central, Inc. PAGE 3 Proprietary to the United Press International, August 7, 1990 The key to improving schools is to ''raise our expectations, he suggested. More children should be enrolled in higher math classes and then they should be motivated to learn, Cross said. ''Frankly, if they don't take it seriously, school becomes a sham. The data show that 47 percent of our eighth graders are bored at least half the time they are in school,' he said. 'What happened to the academic motivation of American students? He said the typical eighth grader watches more than 21 hours of television every week and spends less than six hours doing homework. The report also found 14 percent of the children cannot read at their grade level and one out of five cannot do basic arithmatic. The study concluded that children from two-parent homes, where an adult is at home after school, perform better in school than the 14 percent who spend three hours or more alone every day. ''Of our eighth graders, 31 percent say their mother is rarely or never home when they arrive, he said. ''Less than half say she usually is home. One in five usually return to an empty home. ''It doesn't matter who they are -- -- sons of lawyers or daughters of truck drivers - their schooling suffers as a result. The study tells us that grades drop as daily unsupervised time exceeds one hour. The survey indicates that 600,000 eighth graders are ''in serious risk of educational catastrophe'' and many of them will not graduate, Cross warned elected officials. Among the findings are: - 18 percent of the students had repeated at least one grade. - Students from wealthier, better educated families are more likely to have better math and reading skills. - 10 percent said someone had offered to sell them drugs at school. -- 83 percent live in English-only homes. -- The median income of the students' families was just under $35,000. -- 22 percent live in single parent households. -- 37 percent of the children have a low self-esteem. -- Only 41 percent had mastered math skills traditionally taught in elementary and junior high school. -- Students with good grades are more likely to take part in extracurricular activities. -- 22.5 percent had been in a fight at school; 49 percent had something stolen and 11.8 percent do not feel safe at school.
