PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS:
NOTRE DAME COMMENCEMENT
SOUTH BEND, INDIANA
SUNDAY, MAY 17, 1992
It is wonderful to be here at Notre Dame. Whenever I visit
the campus or meet a group of Notre Dame alumni, I feel your
sense of family -- at Notre Dame that truly means more than just
words; it is at the very core of what this institution is all
about. [And, with this honorary degree, I am proud to become a
Domer -- thank you for the honor and privilege.]
Let me give just one example of what this Notre Dame family
Notre
is like. Last week I heard about Marita Klosterman, who works
Dame
for Notre Dame in L.A. She saw a newspaper ad, responded to it,
News release
and ended up helping to distribute 250,000 bags of groceries in
the riot-torn areas of Los Angeles. Her daughter Elisa, a
sophomore here, is beginning her summer vacation by helping with
the food distribution. That kind of effort makes us all proud to
be a part of this university family.
It is a pleasure to be among such distinguished educators
and public servants -- Father Edward Malloy, Chilean President
Patricio Aylwin, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Father Ted
Hesburgh. I also want to recognize the outstanding Notre Dame
faculty.
((I'm told the University tried to get a successful author
to give the Sesquicentennial commencement address -- but my dog,
Millie, couldn't make it.))
2
Now, let me extend my congratulations to the Class of 1992
and your valedictorian, Sarah McGrath. And, I want to pay a
special tribute to the parents, family members and friends who
made this day possible. At today's ceremony are a group of
Notre
Dame
second generation Domers -- 25% of the graduating seniors have a
News
release
parent who attended Notre Dame.
For you graduates, these have been four long, tough years.
( (And now comes the hardest part -- sitting through the
commencement speech. ) )
Let me say at the beginning -- I'm not here in the mode of
politics, I am here to tell you of the values that I strongly
believe in. Those values can be summarized by the three major
legacies that I want to leave behind for my grandchildren and
yours -- jobs, both for today's workers who are actively seeking
work and for graduates entering the workforce; strong families,
to sustain us as individuals, to nurture and encourage our
children, and to preserve our nation's character and culture; and
peace, around the world, on our streets, and in our schools.
In my three major commencement addresses this year, my focus
is on these three top legacies. Yesterday, I gave the
commencement address at Southern Methodist University where I
focused on the economy and our ability to generate jobs. Today,
we will focus on the necessity to strengthen America's families
and next week at the Naval Academy, I will focus on the great
question of war and peace.
3
During your college years, world-shaking events have altered
history so fast that Czechoslovakia's President, Vaclav Havel,
has said, "We have literally no time even to be astonished."
Today, on this wonderful occasion, let's take a moment to be
astonished.
RR
Every American wanted to believe with President Reagan that
communism would become just a "bizarre chapter in human history."
April
Then came the Revolution of '89: we saw the swiftness of
history's verdict -- the communist idea is now the dinosaur of
the 20th century. We have seen its most hated symbol, the Berlin
Wall, toppled by the weight of mankind's need to be free.
Indeed, freedom has swept round the world -- from the snows
of Siberia to the sands of the Gulf. Because we and our allies
stood strong and principled, we won a future -- not just for
ourselves and our country, but for our children and our
grandchildren.
We are changing America as well -- in ways no less dramatic
or important. We are taking a fresh look at government and how
we solve national problems. Once fashionable ideas of social
engineering are becoming passé. Old isolationist thinking will
not generate economic growth; we must look beyond our borders for
trade opportunities. In all these areas, Lincoln's words have
the ring of truth, "We must think anew and act anew."
As we move toward the beginning of the 21st Century, I see a
dawning of a new era in the midst of great change. To paraphrase
the Old Testament book of Esther -- perhaps the Class of 1992 has
4
come to maturity for just such a time as this. I believe so --
and, I am convinced that your Notre Dame education has uniquely
prepared you for leadership during the upcoming decades of
national change and reform.
Preparing young men and women for lives of leadership,
service, and meaning: each is part of the Notre Dame tradition
-- a tradition that has generated a host of inspiring stories. I
was particularly moved when I heard about Frank O'Malley's role
in saving the bricks of your Administration Building.
Most of you know the story -- the masonry was deteriorating
and some thought the time had come to replace it. Instead,
Professor O'Malley reminded all who would listen, "These bricks
contain the blood of everyone who helped to build Notre Dame."
Today, that 150 year heritage is fully yours, too. But your
preparation began long before you walked in the shadow of the
Dome. Your parents instilled in you character and a moral
bearing. They sacrificed so that you could experience the Notre
Dame education -- an education rooted in timeless faith and in a
tradition of excellence.
Noth
One such family is Joe and Rita Murphy from Casper, Wyoming.
Done
Joe is a doctor who graduated from Notre Dame in 1945. When
Pulease
their daughter, Anne, receives her degree today, she will join
all six of her brothers and sisters as Notre Dame graduates.
How appropriate that a theme of your Sesquicentennial is
"inquiry." Your professors challenged your intellect -- through
their efforts and your hard work, you leave Notre Dame educated
5
and prepared. You have pursued knowledge and skills, and -- from
seminar courses to quiet moments of prayer, from discussions with
caring professors to late-night talks with roommates -- you have
searched for truth, understanding, meaning.
You have spent time reflecting on how best to use the
learning which you have gained here at Notre Dame. And, I hope
that you have also made a commitment to help attack some of the
major problems facing American society.
At the heart of those problems, I believe, stands an
institution under siege. That institution is the American
family. Whatever form our most pressing problems may take --
ultimately, all are related to the disintegration of the American
family.
Patrick
Let's look at a few brief and sad facts. In comparison with
HAGAN
other countries, the Census Bureau found that the United States
has the highest divorce rate, the highest number of children
HHS
involved in divorce, the highest teenage pregnancy rates, the
Report
highest abortion rates, the highest percentage of children living
in a single-parent household, and the highest percentage of
violent deaths among youth. These are not the kind of records we
want to have.
It would be tragic enough if these social trends just
entailed personal unhappiness for the adults involved. But there
are broader concerns. Most Americas are appalled that it is our
nation's children who are suffering the brunt of the cruel
effects from family breakdown. Child abuse and neglect reports
6
doubled

State
have increased dramatically and teen suicide tripled between 1976
antond
and 1986. 1988 Family breakdown is tearing apart our nation's social
1991
fabric at its stress-points. Unless we successfully reverse the
breakdown of the family in America, our nation will remain at
risk.
Senator Moynihan, back in 1965, you gave us fair warning.
You predicted with astonishing accuracy the terrible trends that
would result from the breakdown of the family -- and today you
continue to sound the alarm. The Senator and I agree, if America
is to solve her social problems, we must, first of all, restore
our families.
In addressing the problems associated with family breakdown,
nothing is more critical than equipping each succeeding
generation with a sound moral compass. Although Notre Dame has
expanded from a few small buildings to a large and vibrant
campus, it has never lost sight of its roots nor of its profound
spiritual mission.
Indeed, this institution takes seriously its role in
building the character of our young people -- for that is the
leading indicator of our future as a culture. And, this
institution takes seriously its role in strengthening the family
-- for that is where society's most cherished values and
traditions are passed from one generation to the next.
When we instill faith in our youth -- faith in God, faith in
themselves, and faith in the power of truth and goodness -- we
give them a solid foundation on which to build their future.
7
That foundation strengthens our families and thus new American
communities are re-built and our whole nation benefits.
The cynics say that social conditions in America are too bad
to turn around. Don't you believe it. They say that faith and
ideals are puny and inconsequential when put up against our
problems. Don't you believe it. Often, the bold, swaggering
forces of evil seem more powerful than the modest forces of good.
But, in the long run, the moral values driving millions of
individuals to acts of compassion and goodness will overwhelm
evil. Today, our hope springs from a new American community --
from those who would build and re-build and ultimately triumph
over the forces who would tear down and destroy.
For as Pope John the 23rd said, "The family is the first
essential cell of human society." The family is the primary --
and most critical -- institution in America's communities.
Washington entrepreneur Earl Graves said it this way, "without
the family, the glory of human progress is but a treacherous and
fleeting illusion."
In January, I met with America's mayors -- urban mayors,
rural mayors and mayors of some of America's largest cities --
including Mayor Tom Bradley of Los Angeles. They told me of
their concerns for their cities, their municipalities. But, most
of all, they came together on one key point: their major concern
about the problems in the cities was the decline in the American
family, the fact that the family is weaker today.
8
It is clear that we all know that putting America's families
back on track is essential to putting our country back on track.
You may ask how we can proceed when we don't all agree on the
causes of that problem or the remedies. I believe that one place
to begin is by supporting Pope John Paul the 2nd's most recent
encyclical calling for a new social climate of moral
accountability in which to raise our children. Leadership in
that task can and should be led by the nation's churches -- kids
need to learn faith to help them understand the larger family.
We are one nation under God. We must remember that. We must
teach that.
I know of no better group to spread that word than
Catholics. Your history has been enriched and strengthened by
successive waves of immigration -- Irish, German, Italian,
Polish, Lithuanian, Croatian, Ukrainian, Hispanic. Yet through
it all, the church has become stronger by being watered through
so many different roots.
America, too, is a land where many cultures thrive under one
set of national ideals. I like what Theodore Roosevelt said,
There are no hyphenated Americans
Starting today, as you go from this fine institution to face
the challenges of your adult life, the decisions you make will
have one of two effects: either you will add to the problems of
family breakdown or you will help rebuild the American family.
You see, I am absolutely convinced that today's crisis will have
to be addressed by millions of Americans at the personal,
9
individual level for governmental programs to be effective. The
federal government must do everything it can do, but government
alone is not enough.
Government can -- and we must -- provide parental choice of
the best schools for their children, whether public, private or
religious. But, parents must read to their children and instill
a love for learning. Government can -- and we must -- fight
crime, but fathers and mothers must teach discipline and instill
values in their children. Government can -- and we must --
foster American competitiveness, but parents must teach their
children the dignity of work and instill a work ethic in their
children. To paraphrase that great philosopher, Barbara Bush,
"What you teach at your house is more important than what happens
at the White House."
All of us realize that merely knowing what's right is not
enough. We must then do what's right. Today, I'm asking you to
carefully consider the personal decisions you will make about
marriage and about how you will raise your children. Ultimately,
your decisions about right and wrong, about loyalty and
faithfulness, about integrity -- and yes, even self-sacrifice
will determine the quality of all the other decisions you will
make.
As you think about these decisions remember: it is in
families that children learn the keys to personal economic
success, self-discipline, and personal responsibility. It is in
families that children learn that moral restraint gives us true
10
freedom. It is from their families that they learn honesty,
self-respect, compassion and self-confidence.
And, you would do well to consider the simple, but profound,
words of Father Hesburgh when he said: "The most important thing
a father can do for his children is to love their mother." Think
how this vitally important commitment from fathers to mothers
would radically transform for the better both the lives of
thousands of our nation's hurting children and their struggling
mothers as well.
In many respects I feel like I am preaching to the choir
today. Here at Notre Dame, you have benefitted from the legions
of great men and women of conviction and faith. Here, there is a
tradition of passion for addressing the staggering needs of the
day. And, Notre Dame's alumni association is the prototype for
other universities in sponsoring service projects and working
toward the restoration of faith and the family in America.

release
Central L.A. Since becoming President, I have had opportunity to
see a groundswell of Americans who are working -- and working
hard -- to restore our nation's faith and heal the wounds that
have undermined our nation's families.
These Americans are devoted to rebuilding and restoring
America -- from the ground up, family by family, home by home,
community by community. I was impressed to learn that more than
11
two-thirds of Notre Dame's students participate in community
service -- ranging from working with handicapped children at
Logan Center to assisting former prisoners at Dismas House. And,
fully 10% of your graduates plan to go into social service
careers. To paraphrase Pope John Paul the 2nd: The ultimate test
of your greatness is the way you treat every human being, but
especially the weakest and most defenseless ones.
Let me challenge all of you to find a place to serve in some
capacity -- definitely as models, but also as mentors -- remember
each of us has a contribution that only we can make. Let me
remind you as you assume the mantles of tomorrow's leadership,
that children tend to shape their dreams in the images that they
have seen. Show how a good education prepares one for a full,
productive life. Show what it means to be a person of strong
principle and integrity. Demonstrate how concerned individuals,
by working in partnership, can transform our communities and
nation.
In a society that can sometimes be cold and impersonal,
bring warmth and welcome. In a fragmented society, be a force
for healing. In a society cut off from moral and spiritual
roots, cultivate grace and truth. In the face of the
uncertainties of the future, affirm your purpose and realize your
promise. Together, we can lift our nation's spirit. Together,
we can give our material, political and economic accomplishments
a larger, more noble purpose -- to build God's kingdom here on
earth.
12
There is no surer way to build our nation's future than with
the mortar and bricks of moral values and strong families. If
you will add your blood to the bricks, the future will echo, then
as now, "Never bet against Notre Dame or against the United
States of America." May God bless this Class of 1992. May God
bless all the Notre Dame family. And, may God bless the United
States of America.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS:
NOTRE DAME COMMENCEMENT
SOUTH BEND, INDIANA
SUNDAY, MAY 17, 1992
It is wonderful to be here at Notre Dame. Whenever I visit
the campus or meet a group of Notre Dame alumni, I feel your
sense of family -- at Notre Dame that truly means more than just
words; it is at the very core of what this institution is all
about. [And, with this honorary degree, I am proud to become a
Domer -- thank you for the honor and privilege.]
Let me give just one example of what this Notre Dame family
is like. Last week I heard about Marita Klosterman, who works in
the L.A. regional office. She saw a newspaper ad, responded to
it, and ended up helping to distribute 250,000 bags of groceries
in the riot-torn areas of Los Angeles. Her daughter, Elisa is
beginning her summer vacation by helping with the food
distribution. That kind of effort makes us all proud to be a
part of this university family.
It is a pleasure to be among such distinguished educators
and public servants -- Father Edward Malloy, Chilean President
Patricio Aylwin, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Father Ted
Hesburgh. I also want to recognize the outstanding Notre Dame
faculty.
((I'm told the University tried to get a successful author
to give the Sesquicentennial commencement address -- but my dog,
Millie, couldn't make it.))
2
Now, let me extend my congratulations to the Class of 1992
and your valedictorian, Sarah McGrath. And, I want to pay a
special tribute to the parents, family members and friends who
made this day possible. This ceremony is becoming a tradition
for the 25% of the graduating seniors who have a parent who
attended Notre Dame.
And, there is a special family I want you to meet. Where
are Joe, Rita and Anne Murphy of Casper, Wyoming? Joe is a doctor
who graduated from Notre Dame in 1945. His daughter, Anne, is
graduating today and will join six brothers and sisters who are
all Notre Dame graduates.
For you graduates, these have been four long, tough years.
((And now comes the hardest part -- sitting through the
commencement speech.)
Let me say at the beginning -- I'm not here in the mode of
politics, I am here to tell you of the values that I strongly
believe in. Those values can be summarized by the three major
legacies that I want to leave behind for my grandchildren and
yours -- jobs, both for today's workers who are actively seeking
work and for graduates entering the workforce; families, to
sustain us as individuals, to nurture and encourage our children,
and to preserve our nation's character and culture; and peace,
around the world, on our streets, and in our schools.
In my three major commencement addresses this year, my focus
is on those three top legacies. Yesterday, I gave the
commencement address at Southern Methodist University where I
focused on the economy and our Samested abilty to generate jobs. Today,
3
we will focus on the necessity to strengthen America's families
and next week at the Naval Academy, I will focus on the great
question of war and peace.
During your college years, world-shaking events have altered
history so fast that Czechoslovakia's President, Vaclav Havel,
has said, "We have literally no time even to be astonished."
Today, on this wonderful occasion, let's take a moment to be
astonished.
Every American wanted to believe with President Reagan that
just
communism would become a "bizarre chapter in human history."
Then came the Revolution of '89: we saw the swiftness of
history's verdict -- the communist idea is now the dinosaur of
the 20th century. We have seen its most hated symbol, the Berlin
Wall, toppled by the weight of mankind's need to be free.
Indeed, freedom has swept round the world -- from the snows
of Siberia to the sands of the Gulf. Because we and our allies
stood strong and principled, we won a future -- not just for
ourselves and our country, but for our children and our
grandchildren.
We are changing America as well -- in ways no less dramatic
or important. We are taking a fresh look at government and how
we solve national problems. Outmoded ideas of social engineering
are becoming passé. Old thinking will not generate economic
growth; we must look beyond our borders for trade opportunities.
4
In all these areas, Lincoln's words have the ring of truth, "We
must think anew and act anew."
As we move toward the beginning of the 21st Century, I see a
dawning of a new era in the midst of great change. To paraphrase
the Old Testament book of Esther -- perhaps the Class of 1992 has
come to maturity for just such a time as this. I believe so --
and, I am convinced that your Notre Dame education has uniquely
prepared you for leadership during the upcoming decades of
national change and reform.
Preparing young men and women for lives of leadership,
service, and meaning: each is part of the Notre Dame tradition
Corrected
- a tradition that has generated a host of inspiring stories.
I
am particularly moved each time I hear about Frank O'Malley
saving the bricks of your Administration Building.
You know the story -- the bricks were deteriorating and some
thought the time had come to replace them. Instead, Professor
O'Malley reminded all who would listen, "These bricks contain the
blood of everyone who helped to build Notre Dame."
Today, that 150 year heritage is fully yours, too. But your
preparation began long before you walked in the shadow of the
Dome. Your parents instilled in you character and a moral
bearing. They sacrificed so that you could experience the Notre
Dame education -- an education rooted in timeless faith and in a
tradition of excellence.
Mmphys
How appropriate that a theme of your Sesquicentennial is
"inquiry." Your professors challenged your intellect -- through
5
their efforts and your hard work, you will leave Notre Dame
educated and prepared. You have pursued knowledge and skills,
and -- from seminar courses to quiet moments of prayer, from in-
depth discussions with caring professors to late-night talks with
roommates -- you have searched for truth.
You have spend considerable time reflecting on how best to
use the knowledge and insight which you have developed here at
Notre Dame. I hope that you have made a commitment to help
resolve some of the major problems facing American society.
At the heart of those problems, I believe, stands an
institution under siege. That institution is the American
family. Whatever form our most pressing problems may take --
ultimately, all are related to the disintegration of the American
family.
Let's look at a few facts. In comparison with other
countries, the Census Bureau found that the United States has the
highest divorce rate, the highest number of children involved in
divorce, the highest teenage pregnancy rates, the highest
abortion rates, the highest percentage of children living in a
single-parent household, and the highest percentage of violent
deaths among youth. These are not the kind of records we want to
have.
Senator Moynihan, back in 1965, you gave us fair warning.
You predicted with astonishing accuracy the terrible trends that
would result from the breakdown of the family -- and today you
continue to sound the alarm. The Senator and I agree, if America
6
is to solve our social problems, we must, first of all, restore
our families.
If we are to address the problems associated with family
breakdown, nothing is more important than the preparation of
young minds equipped with a sound moral compass. Although Notre
Dame has expanded from a few small buildings to a large and
vibrant campus, it has never lost sight of its roots nor of its
profound spiritual mission.
Indeed, this institution takes seriously its role in
building the character of our young people -- for that is the
leading indicator of our future as a culture. And, this
institution takes seriously its role in strengthening the family
-- for that is where society's most cherished values and
traditions are passed from one generation to the next.
When we instill faith in our youth -- faith in God, faith in
themselves, and faith in the power of truth and goodness -- we
give them a solid foundation on which to build their future.
That foundation strengthens our families and thus new American
communities are re-built and our whole nation benefits.
The cynics say that social conditions in America are too bad
to turn around. Don't you believe it. They say that faith and
ideals are puny and inconsequential when put up against our
problems. Don't you believe it. Often, the bold, swaggering
forces of evil seem more powerful than the modest forces of good.
But, in the long run, the moral values driving millions of
individuals to acts of compassion and goodness will overwhelm
7
evil. Today, our hope springs from a new American community --
from those who would build and re-build and ultimately triumph
over the forces who would tear down and destroy.
For as Pope John the 23rd said, "The family is the first
essential cell of human society." The family is the primary --
and most critical -- institution in America's communities.
Washington entrepreneur, Earl Graves, said it this way, "without
the family, the glory of human progress is but a treacherous and
fleeting illusion."
We should take heed of the way the American family is
assailed on many sides.
Half of all marriages now end in divorce -- which is
more than double what it was in 1960. We have
forgotten just how important stability and the presence
of two parents are to children. The toll of divorce
and desertion has affected a generation of children.
In some of our inner-cities, a majority of the babies
are born to unwed mothers. And, nationwide, one in ten
births in 1989 were to unwed mothers. Statistics show
that too many of these infants, and their mothers, will
face a life of poverty. In 1989, the city with the
highest number of unwed births of all races was a city
nearby -- Gary, Indiana -- with a 67% total.
Irresponsible sex has produced an epidemic of sexually-
transmitted diseases, including AIDS. Anti-biotic
resistant gonorrhea has skyrocketed in the past 5 years
and syphilis has doubled since 1980.
It would be tragic enough if these social trends just
entailed personal unhappiness for the adults involved. But there
are broader concerns. Most Americas are appalled that it is our
nation's children who are suffering the brunt of the cruel
effects from family breakdown. Child abuse and neglect reports
have increased dramatically and teen suicide tripled between 1976
8
and 1986. Family breakdown is tearing apart our nation's social
fabric at its stress-points. Unless we successfully reverse the
breakdown of the family in America, our nation will remain at
risk.
In January, I met with America's mayors -- urban mayors,
rural mayors and mayors of some of America's largest cities --
including Mayor Tom Bradley of Los Angeles. They told me of
their concerns for their cities, their municipalities. But they
came together on one key point: They told me that their major
concern about the problems in the cities was the decline in the
American family, the fact that the family is weaker today.
And, while we may not always agree on the causes of that
breakdown or the remedies; we know that putting America's
families back on track is essential to putting our country back
on track. We can begin by supporting Pope John Paul the 2nd's
most recent encyclical calling for a new social climate of moral
accountability in which to raise our children. Leadership in
that task can and should be led by the nation's churches -- kids
need to learn faith to help them understand the larger family.
We are one nation under God. We must remember that. We must
advocate that.
I know of no better group to spread that word than
Catholics. Your history has been enriched and strengthened by
successive waves of immigration -- Irish, German, Italian,
Polish, Lithuanian, Croation, Ukrainian, Hispanic. Yet through
9
it all, the church has become stronger by being watered through
so many different roots.
America, too, is a land where many cultures thrive under one
set of national ideals. I like what Theodore Roosevelt said,
"There are no hyphenated Americans."
Starting today, as you go from this fine institution to face
the challenges of your adult life, the decisions you make will
have one of two effects: either you will add to the problems of
family breakdown or you will help rebuild the American family.
To paraphrase Pope John Paul the 2nd: The ultimate test of
your greatness is the way you treat every human being, but
especially the weakest and most defenseless ones. You see, I am
absolutely convinced that today's crisis will have to be
addressed by millions of Americans at the personal, individual
level for governmental programs to be effective. The federal
government must do everything it can do, but government alone is
not enough.
Government can -- and we must -- provide parental choice of
the best schools for their children, whether public, private or
religious. But, parents must read to their children and instill
a love for learning. Government can -- and we must -- fight
crime, but parents must teach discipline and instill values in
their children. Government can -- and we must -- foster American
competitiveness, but parents must teach their children the
dignity of work and instill a work ethic in their children. To
paraphrase that great philosopher, Barbara Bush, "What you teach
10
at your house is more important than what happens at the White
House."
At the same time, we realize that just knowing what's right
is not enough. We must then do what's right. I'm talking about
the personal decisions you make about your marriage, about how
you will raise your children, about loyalty, faithfulness,
honesty and integrity. Ultimately, your actions and behavior
about right and wrong, about morality, about personal
responsibility and about sacrifice form the foundation for all
the other decisions you will make.
We must not forget: it is in families that children learn
the keys to economic success, self-discipline, and
responsibility. It is in families that children learn that moral
restraint gives us true freedom. It is in families that they
learn honesty, self-respect, compassion and self-confidence.
And, we also cannot forget the profound words Father
Hesburgh said years ago: "The most important thing a father can
do for his children is to love their mother." Think how this
vitally important commitment from fathers to mothers would
radically transform for the better both the lives of thousands of
our nation's hurting children and their struggling mothers as
well.
In many respects I feel like I am preaching to the choir
today. Here at Notre Dame, you have benefitted from the legions
of great men and women of conviction and faith. Here, there is a
tradition of passion for addressing the staggering needs of the
11
day. And, Notre Dame's alumni association is the prototype for
other universities in sponsoring service projects and working
toward the restoration of faith and the family in America.
In fact, at this very moment, the Notre Dame Alumni Club of
Los Angeles is in the midst of a massive food and distribution
project to assist residents affected by the violence in South
Central L.A. Since becoming President, I have had opportunity to
see a groundswell of Americans who are working -- and working
hard -- to restore our nation's faith and heal the wounds that
have undermined our nation's families.
These Americans are devoted to rebuilding and restoring
America -- from the ground up, family by family, home by home,
community by community. I was impressed to learn that more than
two-thirds of Notre Dame's students participate in community
service -- ranging from working with handicapped children at
Logan Center to assisting former prisoners at Dismas House. And,
fully 10% of your graduates plan to go into social service
careers.
I want to challenge all of you to serve in some capacity --
definitely as models, but also as mentors -- remember each of us
has a contribution that only we can make. Let me remind you as
you assume the mantles of tomorrow's leadership, that children
tend to shape their dreams in the images that they have seen.
Show how a good education prepares one for a full, productive
life. Show what it means to be a person of strong principle and
12
integrity. Demonstrate how concerned individuals, by working in
partnership, can transform our communities and nation.
In a society that can sometimes be cold and impersonal,
bring warmth and welcome. In a fragmented society, be a force
for healing. In a society cut off from moral and spiritual
roots, cultivate grace and truth. In the face of the
uncertainties of the future, affirm your purpose and realize your
promise. Together, we can lift our nation's spirit. Together,
we can give our material, political and economic accomplishments
a larger, more noble purpose -- to build God's kingdom here on
earth.
There is no surer way to build our nation's future than with
the strong cement of moral values and the bricks of strong
families. If you will add your blood to the bricks, the future
will echo, then as now, "Never bet against Notre Dame or against
the United States of America." May God bless you. May God bless
the Notre Dame family. And, may God bless the United States of
America.

What Dr. Massey said about the importance of the church. And as you
look at the chaos and turmoil in this country, not just in the wake
of the riots of Los Angeles, but all the problems we face in the
country, the problems we face internationally, I keep coming back to

I talked to Barbara this morning and told her a little
bit -- I didn't know it fully -- about what Reverend E.V. Hill had m
store for all of us today, but particularly for me. He had failed to
point out that he had the distinguished leaders of various
denominations here and that I would be flanked behind me by people
who are active pastors in the wonderful churches of this area. And
she told me, she said, you've got your nerve -- you've got a lot of
nerve to stand up in front of all those people and tell them what you
think about values. (Laughter.) But I'm going to try anyway.
(Laughter.)
I do want to single out Reverend Jones and Mrs. Jones
for what they do -- reaching across the states, bringing help to
others. That's family. That's God's family. Family values means
the church must continue to teach the kids right from wrong.
I was over at a supermarket, and the guy with tears in
his eyes was telling ae, one. of my own employees came in and took
stuff out of this store. And he couldn't understand it. We've got
to teach right from wrong. Government cannot do that. We can try,
those of us in public life, to set reasonably good examples of family
and faith. But the values have to be taught, and the church has a
tremendously important role on that.
I think that when Barbara reads to kids that she is
emphasizing not just the importance of education that we all believe
in -- so many of you working with children -- but she's emphasizing
the importance of the role of grandparents; even more, the importance
of love.
To struggle against hard times, to overcome the
devastation of poverty, of racism or of riots, we need our family.
we need our own family, we need our church family, and we must find
ways to strengthen America as a family. Back to what the Cardinal
said: We are embarrassed by interracial violence and prejudice.
We're ashamed. We should take nothing but sorrow out of all of that
and do our level best to see that it's eliminated from the American
dream. A family that respects the law, a family that can lift others
up. We need a family that is truly committed to faith; for, again,
we are one nation under God -- a family that says "I'm my brother's
keeper." But it's here -- it was here in the ugliest moments of the
rioting, the brother's keeper aspect. I saw it in a police station
just now. And God bless the honest policemen that are defending the
families of the neighborhood -- all of them. (Applause.)
But the message they got to me this morning was a little
different than the one that I see in that first two minutes on the
evening news. This was a message of forgiving and healing. HOW
neighbors had called in and said, here's where you can go and pick up
some looted goods, or brought them to the police station so that they
could be returned to their owners. We don't hear enough of that kind
of family action or that kind of fellowship.
Another pastor, Reverend Bennie Newton, laid his life on
the line for his brother. He saw a man literally beaten into the
ground. And he waded through the fray and he laid his body on top of
the victim until the beating stopped. And here's what he said. He
said, "MY heart was crying, but the bottom line is, he saved that
man's life. He was his brother's keeper. These are the stories that
I think America needs to know about. We saw the violence. We've
seen the hatred. And we've got to heal, to see the love.
Los Angeles is going to recover. This is a great city.
(Applause.) And I have pledged to the Governor, to the Mayor the
full support of the federal government. And if I might take one
mention of personal pride here to say that I'm very pleased the way
these departments in the federal government have responded. Not to
preempt, not to get credit -- again, not to assign blame, but to
supplement the work in the communities, the work of the Mayor, the

work of the Council and the work of the Governor. And I'm proud that
Lou sullivan, our Secretary of HHS; and Jack Kemp, our Secretary of
HUD are here today. And many others wanted to be with me, but
somebody had to mind the store back there. (Laughter.)
Now, Los Angeles will recover. I believe it is well on
its way to recovery, thanks to what the local government and the
state government and the federal presence are doing. And as Los
Angeles comes back to its glory, all of us must ask ourselves: What
can we do to help?
This is no time to outline federal programs. This is a
National Day of Prayer. This is a day to give our thanks. But we
will do what we can to help and to assist and to lead in this
reconciliation. To truly help, we've got to understand the agony of
the depressed. You can't solve the problem if you don't feel its
heartbeat. You've got to understand the hopelessness of those who
literally have had no opportunity.
Trucks bringing food and bricks and mortar are rolling
into Los Angeles. And this city will be rebuilt. And I an confident
that new opportunities will arise. But all across this nation, we've
got to renew our fight to strengthen the American family. It isn't a
burnt-out area in Los Angeles. It isn't California. It is the
entire country. That's where everyone in this room, everyone in this
hallowed sanctuary comes in. We've got to find ways to do that.
We've got to fight against discrimination. We've go to continue to
speak out against bigotry. We've got to fight for justice and
equality. And on this National Day of Prayer it is fitting that we
pray to God to help us.
Abraham Lincoln was right -- you can't do it alone. If
we asked him what he did in times of turmoil -- you think of the
problems he faced -- he said, I spent a lot of my time on my knees.
We have to understand that that faith is still terribly important to
leaders, terribly important to citizens that lead these communities.
so I pray to God that he will give us the strength and
the wisdom to bring the family together -- the American family.
Barbara and I prayed that our personal family and your personal
families will be engulfed in God's love, and that every kid will have
someone who knows his name and really cares about him.
One little four-year-old girl -- maybe you heard the
story -- Ryan Bennett -- prayed special prayers as she saw her
neighborhood riddled with bullets, her candy store destroyed. And
Ryan said, "I asked God if he could make it so it's not dark
anymore. (Applause.) Let this nation VOW to help that it won't be dark.

INTRODUCTION
During your college years, world-shaking events have altered
history so fast that Czechoslovakia's President, Vaclav Havel,
has said, "We have literally no time even to be astonished."
Today, on this wonderful occasion, let's take a moment to be
astonished. Every American wanted to believe with President
Reagan that communism would become a "bizarre chapter in human
history." Then came the Revolution of '89: we saw the swiftness
of history's verdict -- the communist idea is now the dinosaur of
the 20th century. We have seen its most hated symbol, the Berlin
Wall, toppled by the weight of mankind's need to be free.
Indeed, freedom has swept round the world -- from the snows
of Siberia to the sands of the Gulf. Because we and our allies
stood strong and principled, we won a future -- not just for
ourselves and our country, but for our children and our
grandchildren.
We are changing America as well -- in ways no less dramatic
or important. We are taking a fresh look at government and how
we solve national problems. Outmoded ideas of social engineering
are becoming passé. Old thinking will not do. As Lincoln said,
"We must think anew and act anew."
As we move toward the beginning of the 21st Century, I see a
dawning of a new era in the midst of great change. To paraphrase
the old Testament book of Esther -- perhaps the Class of 1992 has
come to maturity for just such a time as this. I believe so --
and, I am convinced that your Notre Dame education has uniquely
2
prepared you for leadership during the upcoming decades of
national change and reform.
Preparing young men and women for lives of leadership,
service, and meaning is part of the Notre Dame tradition -- a
tradition that has generated a host of inspiring stories. I am
particularly moved each time I hear about Frank O'Malley saving
the bricks of your Administration Building. You know the story,
the bricks were deteriorating and some people wanted to replace
them. Instead, Professor O'Malley reminded all who would listen,
"These bricks contain the blood of everyone who helped to build
Notre Dame."
Today, that 150 year heritage is fully yours, too. But your
preparation began long before you walked in the shadow of the
Dome. Your parents instilled in you character and a moral
bearing. They sacrificed so that you could experience the Notre
Dame education -- an education rooted in timeless values and in a
tradition of excellence. I know that America's future remains in
good hands. You have the preparation. You have been taught the
principles. And, you are committed to building partnerships for
service to God, your communities, your country and your fellow
Americans.
How appropriate that one of the three themes of your
Sesquicentennial is "inquiry." Your professors challenged your
intellect and stretched your mind -- through their efforts and
your hard work, you will leave Notre Dame educated and prepared.
You have pursued knowledge and skills, and -- from seminar
3
courses to quiet moments of prayer, from in-depth discussions
with caring professors to late-night talks with roommates -- you
have searched for truth. You have spend considerable time
reflecting on how best to use the knowledge and insight which you
have developed here at Notre Dame. I hope that you have made a
commitment to help resolve some of the thorny problems facing
American society.
At the heart of those problems, I believe, stands an
institution under siege. That institution is the American
family. Whatever form our most pressing problems may take
-- poverty, crime, drug abuse, violence, teen pregnancy, child
abuse -- ultimately, all are related to the disintegration of the
American family. Senator Moynihan has been at the forefront
polite
warning about the devastation of this problem. The Senator and I
agree, ] if America is to solve our social problems, we must,
first of all, restore our families. If we are to address the
problems associated with family breakdown, we need not only the
skills of inquiry that you have developed here at Notre Dame --
we also need your sense of duty and your character.
Nothing is more important to the future of free institutions
than the preparation of young minds equipped with a sound moral
compass. Indeed, the character of our young people is the
leading indicator of our future as a culture. And, because the
family is the institution by which a society's most cherished
values and traditions are passed from one generation to the next,
its strength and stability are vital. Notre Dame still fosters
4
those values that sustain us as individuals and as a nation --
those principles that ultimately enable individuals to triumph
over hardship and nations to overcome adversity. Although Notre
Dame has expanded from a few small buildings to a large and
vibrant campus that accommodates some 10,000 students, it has
never lost sight of its roots nor of its profound spiritual
mission.
When we instill faith in our youth -- faith in God, faith in
themselves, and faith in the power of truth and goodness -- we
give them a solid foundation on which to build their future. That
foundation strengthens our families and thus new American
communities are re-built and our whole nation benefits.
The cynics say that social conditions in America are too bad
to turn around. Don't you believe it. They say that values and
ideals are puny and inconsequential when put up against our
problems. Don't you believe it. Often, the bold, swaggering
forces of evil seem more powerful than the modest forces of good.
But, in the long run, the moral values driving millions of
individuals to acts of compassion and goodness will overwhelm
evil. Today, you bring hope that new American communities will
become realities because those who would build and re-build will
ultimately triumph over the forces who would tear down and
destroy.
We build strong communities through strengthening our
institutions -- our families, our churches, our schools, our
government and our businesses. The stronger these community
5
institutions, the more unwavering and reliable will be the
compasses by which individuals guide their actions and the more
likely each of us will be to craft responsible behavior.
Pope John the 23rd said, "The family is the first essential
cell of human society." The family is the primary -- and most
critical -- institution in America's communities. Earl Graves
said it this way in "Black Enterprise" magazine, "without the
family, the glory of human progress is but a treacherous and
fleeting illusion." We should take heed when the American family
is assailed on many sides.
Half of all marriages now end in divorce. We have
forgotten just how important stability and the presence
of two parents are to children. The toll of divorce
and desertion has affected a generation of children.
In some of our inner-cities, a majority of the babies
are born to unwed mothers. And, statistics show that
most of these infants, and their mothers, face a life
of poverty.
Irresponsible sex has produced an epidemic of sexually-
transmitted diseases, including AIDS. TAt the same time

a life lacks permanent bonds of love and commitment.]
It would be tragic enough if these social trends just
entailed personal unhappiness for the adults involved. But there
are broader concerns. Most Americas are appalled that it is our
nation's children who are suffering the brunt of the cruel
effects from family breakdown. Family breakdown is tearing apart
our nation's social fabric at its stress-points. Unless we
successfully reverse the breakdown of the family in America, our
nation will remain at risk. [Mayor Tom Bradley quote] And,
Bab is getting
6
while we may not always agree on the causes or the remedies; we
know that we must put our country back on track. We can begin by
completely
supporting Pope John Paul the 2nd's most recent encyclical
calling for a new social climate of moral accountability in which
to raise our children.
Starting today, as you go from this fine institution to face
the challenges of your adult life, the decisions you make will
have one of two effects: you will add to the problems of family
breakdown or you will help rebuild the American family. Pope
John Paul the 2nd said, "The ultimate test of (America's)
greatness is the way you treat any human being, but especially
the way we treat weak and defenseless ones." You see, I am
absolutely convinced that today's crisis will have to be
addressed by millions of Americans at the personal, individual
level for governmental programs to be effective. The federal
government must do everything it can do, but government alone is
not enough.
Government can -- and we must -- provide parental choice of
the best schools for their children, but parents must read to
their children and instill a love for learning. Government can
-- and we must -- fight crime, but parents must teach discipline
and instill values in their children. Government can -- and we
must -- foster American competitiveness, but parents must teach
their children the dignity of work and instill a work ethic in
their children. To paraphrase that great philosopher, Barbara
7
Bush, "What you teach at your house is more important than what
happens at the White House."
At the same time, we realize that just knowing what's right
is not enough -- that's the easiest part. After we know what's
right, we must then do what's right. I'm talking about the
personal decisions you make about your marriage, about how you
will raise your children, about loyalty, faithfulness, honesty
and integrity. Ultimately, your actions and behavior about right
and wrong, about morality, about personal responsibility and
about sacrifice form the foundation for all the other decisions
you will make.
We must not forget: it is in families that children learn
the keys to economic success, self-discipline, and
responsibility. It is in families that children learn that moral
restraint gives us true freedom. It is in families that they
learn honesty, self-respect, compassion and self-confidence.
We also cannot forget the profound words Father Hesburgh
said years ago: "The most important thing a father can do for his
children is to love their mother." Think how this vitally
important commitment from fathers to mothers would radically
transform for the better both the lives of thousands of our
nation's hurting children and their struggling mothers as well.
CONCLUSION -- CHARGE TO THE GRADUATES
In many respects I feel like I am preaching to the choir
today. Here at Notre Dame, you have benefitted from the legions
8
of great men and women of conviction and faith. Here, there is a
tradition of passion for addressing the staggering needs of the
day. And, Notre Dame's alumni association is the prototype for
other universities in sponsoring service projects and working
toward the restoration of faith and the family in America. In the
thousands of miles I have travelled and among the thousands of
Americans I have talked with since becoming President, I have
seen a groundswell of Americans who are working -- and working
hard to restore our nation's values and heal the wounds that
have undermined our nation's families.
These Americans are devoted to rebuilding and restoring
America -- from the ground up, family by family, home by home,
community by community. I was impressed to learn that more than
two-thirds of Notre Dame's students participate in community
service -- ranging from working with handicapped children at
Bob,
Logan Center to assisting former prisoners at Dismas House. And,
fully 10% of your graduates plan to go into social service
careers.
I want to challenge all of you to serve in some capacity --
definitely as models, but also as mentors -- remember each of us
has a contribution that only we can make. Let me remind you as
you assume the mantles of tomorrow's leadership, that children
tend to shape their dreams in the images that they have seen.
Show how a good education prepares one for a full, productive
life. Show what it means to be a person of strong principle and
9
integrity. Demonstrate how concerned individuals, by working in
partnership, can transform our communities and nation.
In a society that can sometimes be cold and impersonal,
bring warmth and welcome. In a fragmented society, be a force
for healing. In a society cut off from moral and spiritual
roots, cultivate grace and truth. In the face of the
uncertainties of the future, affirm your purpose and realize your
promise. Together, we can lift our nation's spirit. Together,
we can give our material, political and economic accomplishments
ok?
a larger, more noble purpose -- [to build God's kingdom here on
earth.]
There is no surer way to build our nation's future; we must
have the strong cement of moral values and the bricks of strong
families. If you will add your blood to the bricks, the future
will echo, then as now, "Never bet against Notre Dame or against
the United States of America." May God bless you. May God bless
the Notre Dame family. And, may God bless the United States of
America.

in good hands. You have the preparation. You have the principles.
And, you are committed to building partnerships for service to
God, your country and your fellow Americans.
BEING PREPARED -- LIFE-LONG INQUIRY
Let's look at your preparation for the task. How
appropriate that one of the three themes of your Sesquicentennial
is "inquiry." Your professors challenged your intellect and
stretched your mind -- through their efforts // and your hard
work, you have received the highest quality education. But, it
is one of the ironies of life // that we cannot stay on the
mountaintop of proud accomplishment for long. Celebration and
3
elation are usually followed by introspection. After graduation,
you will probably spend some time determining how best to use the
knowledge and insight which you have developed here at Notre Dame
to help resolve some of the thorny problems facing American
society. At the heart of those problems, I believe, stands an
institution under siege. That institution is the American
family. Whatever the form our most pressing problems may take
-- poverty, crime, drug abuse, violence, teen pregnancy, child
abuse -- all are related to the disintegration of the American
family. If we are to solve our social problems, we must, first
of all, restore our families. If we are to address the problems
associated with family breakdown, we need the skills of inquiry
that you developed here at Notre Dame -- we need your fresh
insight and your creativity.
BEING PRINCIPLED -- SOUND BELIEFS
Let's look at the principles that form the basis of belief.
There is nothing more important to the future of free
institutions than the preparation of young minds equipped with a
moral compass. The character of our young people is the leading
indicator of our future as a culture. Notre Dame still fosters
those values that sustain us as individuals and as a nation --
those values that ultimately enable individuals to triumph over
hardship and nations to overcome adversity. Although Notre Dame
has expanded from a few small buildings to a large and vibrant

sight of its roots or of its profound spiritual mission.

The cynics say that social conditions in America are too bad
to turn around. Don't you believe it. They say that values and
ideals are puny and inconsequential when put up against our
problems. Don't you believe it.
Last fall, I stood and looked out over one of nature's great
masterpieces, the Grand Canyon. That breathtaking creation is
Encyclopedia
awesome testimony that seemingly inconsequential things can be
Americana very powerful. Though both solid granite and molten lava once
blocked the path of the Colorado River, the mounting pressure and
grinding force of millions of raindrops carrying millions of
grains of sand ultimately cut through.
Just so, our problems in America -- even the ones that
sometimes erupt like a volcano -- cannot defeat the determined
efforts of millions of our people. In the long run, the moral
values driving millions of individuals to acts of compassion and
goodness will prevail. Often, the bold, swaggering forces of
evil seem more powerful than the modest forces of right. But, in
the end, acts of forgiveness, generosity, and caring --
manifested in a myriad of small, but significant acts -- become
an ceaseless current of goodness that overcomes "impossible"
barriers to create something majestic. Today, our hope is based
on the fact that those who would build and re-build will
ultimately triumph over the forces who would tear down and
destroy.

BEING PARTNERS --
BUILDING COMMUNITY BY STRENGTHENING THE FAMILY
That brings us to the third theme of your Sesquicentennial,
"community." Our institutions -- our churches, our schools, our
government and our businesses -- need to lead the way in building
community. With a breakdown of confidence in our institutions,
comes an inevitable breakdown of confidence in ourselves. We
must not let that happen; we need an unwavering, reliable compass
by which to guide our actions and craft responsible behavior.

escalating numbers of unwed teen births give ample

Parents today are spending 40% less time with their
children than parents did in 1965. Most American
children spend far more time with television than with
family or activities.

It would be tragic enough if these social trends just
entailed personal unhappiness for the adults involved. But there
are two broader concerns. Our nation's children are suffering
the brunt of the cruel effects from family breakdown and our
nation's social fabric is tearing apart at the stress-points.
Unless we successfully reverse the breakdown of the family in
America, our nation will remain at risk.
Most Americans are appalled at the social changes that have
brought such devastation and pain to the people of our nation.
Senator Moynihan has been at the forefront warning about the
devastation of this problem. One of his studies, revealed in

to raise our children.
Today, as you go from this fine institution to face the
challenges of your adult life, the decisions you make will have
one of two effects: you will add to the problems of family
breakdown or you will help produce solutions. You see, I am
absolutely convinced that today's crisis will have to be
addressed by millions of Americans at the personal, individual
level before governmental programs can be effective. Government
can -- and we must -- provide choice in education, but parents
must read to their children and instill a love for learning.
7
Government can -- and we must -- fight crime, but parents must
teach discipline and instill values in their children.
Government can -- and we must -- foster American competitiveness,
but parents must teach their children the dignity of work and
instill a work ethic in their children. As that great
philosopher, Barbara Bush, once said, "What you teach at your
house is more important than what happens at the White House."
Don't misunderstand, I fully intend that the federal
government will do everything it can do, but government alone
can't solve problems. Only you and others like you can do the
really important things. It is not enough to just know what's
right -- that's the easiest part. After we know what's right, we
must then do what's right. I'm talking about the personal
decisions you make about your marriage, about how you will raise
your children, about loyalty, faithfulness, honesty and
integrity. Ultimately, your actions and behavior about right and
wrong, about morality, about personal responsibility and about
sacrifice are far more important than many of the other decisions
you will make.
We must not forget the power of these simple rules of life.
The plain truth is that, it is in families that children learn
the keys of economic success, self-discipline, responsibility and
moral restraint. It is in families that they learn honesty,
self-respect, compassion and confidence. We cannot forget these
basics. Years ago, Father Hesburgh said something very simple,

his children is to love their mother." Think how this vitally
important commitment from fathers to mothers would radically
transform for the better both the lives of thousands of our
nation's hurting children and their struggling mothers as well.
CONCLUSION -- CHARGE TO THE GRADUATES
In many respects I feel like I am preaching to the choir
today. Notre Dame's graduates are already working toward the
restoration of values and the family in America. But this
historical moment demands that we hear the clarion call for
leadership into the new century. You have benefitted from the
great men and women of conviction, passion and faith here at
Notre Dame, who saw the staggering needs of their day and set out
to meet those needs. Since becoming President, I have travelled
thousands of miles and talked to thousands of Americans who are
working to make America's future even brighter than our glorious
past.
Many of you are devoted to making a difference through

public service -- two-thirds of you already work within your
communities to serve others and fully 10% plan to go into social
service careers. That is a wonderful record, but it does not let
the rest of you off the hook. Let me remind you as you assume
the mantles of tomorrow's leadership, that children tend to dream
their dreams in the shapes that they have seen. I want to
challenge you to serve as models and mentors of preparedness,
principles and partnerships all across this great land so that
9
children who need role models will be able to shape their dreams
after your image. In a mass society, be an antidote to
depersonalization. In a fragmented society, integrate your life,
your thought and your action. In a society cut off from moral
and spiritual roots, inculcate positive values. In the face of
the uncertainties of the future, affirm your purpose and realize
your promise.
There is no surer way to build America's future // than with
the mortar of moral values /// and the bricks of strong families.
///// If you will add your blood to the bricks, ///// the future
will echo //// -- then as now -- //// "Never bet against Notre

HEADLINE: Wisdom From the Pope
SERIES: Occasional
BYLINE: Michael Novak
BODY:
The pope's splendid new encyclical, "Centesimus Annus" (dated May 1,
1991), adds a new characteristic to his defense of liberty. It has been clear
for many years that Pope John Paul II supports democratic institutions more
than any previous pope and sees them as the best way to secure human rights.
It has also been clear to some that he supports a type of "reformed
capitalism. = But this new encyclical makes clear beyond a shadow of a doubt
that the pope endorses the "business economy," the "market economy" or simply
the "free economy" as the goal he now proposes for formerly Communist and Third
World societies. This support, even though limited, is very important for his
native Poland and many other suffering peoples.
The institutional limitations on capitalism on which the pope insists are
two: first, a juridical framework that protects other fundamental liberties
besides economic liberty; and, second, a grounding of all liberties in a moral
and religious core. In short, the economic system must be limited by a
democratic polity and by a strong set of moral and cultural institutions
(families, unions, associations, universities, media, churches, etc.). Only in
this way will it, better than other systems, meet basic needs and constantly
raise the level of the common good of peoples.
Jacques Maritain and Reinhold Niebuhr refer to such a mixed system as
"capitalistic democracy." America's Founders used the term "commercial
republic." Some of us prefer (on the model of "political economy") "democratic
capitalism. = The name does not matter; it is the political and moral checks
and balances that count.
'Centesimus Annus" is 113 pages long in its Vatican edition. Its main purpose
is to mark the centenary of the first of all modern papal social encyclicals,
Leo XIII's "Rerum Novarum" (May 15, 1891). Whereas Leo XIII warned against the
coming scourge of socialism, John Paul II now vividly describes the collapse of
"real existing socialism." His chapter three, "The Year 1989," is a particularly
brilliant commentary; it was, after all, the year this pope himself did so
much to make possible.
There is much that is new and fresh in this encyclical. The pope is a
professional philosopher with a very concrete turn of mind. Thus page after page
is filled with sustained, complex, nuanced argument, noting the specific
differences between Latin America and Africa, Eastern Europe and Western Europe,
etc. Regularly, he cuts through slogans. He tries to see the whole human

reality true -- in its glory and in its self-betrayals.
Yet for readers alert to the main debates of the last 20 years, two
contributions of this encyclical stand out. First, the collapse of socialism
suggests to him that much in "liberation theology" has been bypassed by events,
and in section 42 he proposes as the goal for formerly Communist nations and the
Third World a new ideal for "integral liberation": democracy and, in the
appropriately limited sense, capitalism. This analysis, subtle and nuanced, is
little short of brilliant. It has more than fulfilled the dreams (and prayers)
of many of us. The market, the pope sees, is an important but limited tool of
integral human liberation. Through it surges the creativity that God has endowed
in every woman and man.
Second, Chapter 5, "State and Culture," offers the papacy's strongest
language ever about limitations on state power. It includes a trenchant but fair
criticism of the human losses involved in the "welfare state" and even more in
the "social assistance state." No neo-liberal or neo-conservative ever made the
case more profoundly and with 50 resounding a ring of truth. The pope
emphasizes the human side - or better, the anti-human side -- of bureaucratic
"social assistance. He all but uses the phrase "the little platoons" of
society.
The pope's greatest originality, however, may lie in going beyond questions
of politics and economics to questions of morality and culture. In a sense, the
political argument of the 20th century has been resolved in favor of democracy;
and the economic argument has been resolved in favor of capitalism. Thinking
of the chief battleground of the next century, the pope turns to the
disappointing use that existing free societies are now making of their freedom.
He turns to the inadequacies of modern culture and morals.
Pope John Paul II is a humanist through-and-through. The legacy he wants to
leave to Catholic social thought, he says, is that it is made for humans, not
humans for it. He places Catholic social thought at the service of the high
vocation that the Creator gives to every woman and every man. It is a vocation
that we each often fail. The pope describes humans as highly endowed by
nature, gifted by grace, and yet, nonetheless, tending often to turn against God
and his gifts. His anthropology may be summarized as: "humans simultaneously
graced and sinners."
Each society (John Paul II observes) has its own ecology --- its own culture,
ethos, distinctive shape and story. Sometimes a culture disfigures the human
character of its citizens, pollutes their minds, warps their wills, twists their
instincts. Human beings can be made into monsters by their culture. The pope
calls for a new science of "human ecology." This means a protracted public
inquiry into human nature and destiny. Wrong answers in this inquiry can mean
social suicide. Wrong answers always entail the disfigurement of human beings.
You can tell the quality and depth of a nation's culture, the pope
trenchantly states, by observing what it produces and consumes. This simple
remark imposes a new moral accountability on capitalist firms, advertisers and
media. In this century, the pope thinks free peoples have neglected their
responsibilities to the quality of the moral atmosphere, the cultural ecology in
which they try to raise their children and to be faithful to their destiny as
free citizens.

This is a great encyclical. It will release enormous energies in Eastern
Europe, the Third World and advanced societies. It should read as well in 2091
as Leo XIII's accurate predictions about socialism in 1891 still read today. No
other world leader could have produced such a profound tour d'horizon. Get a
copy and see for yourself. You will be glad you did.

OUTLINE
I.
INTRODUCTION
[Acknowledgements -- Malloy, Aylwin,
Moynihan, faculty, Teacher of Year=Himes,
parents and Class of 92, others?]
A.
Events are changing history and changing America.
These changes are shaking up the old order.
B.
We must get back to the solid foundation stones of our
society -- family and values.
C.
The Sesquicentennial Class provides hope for a bright
future for America.
D.
Notre Dame graduates are prepared intellectually and
morally. Plus, they have a commitment to serving
others. Will they accept the challenge of "coming to
the kingdom for such a time as this."
II. THE THREE THEMES OF THE SESQUICENTENNIAL = TRAINING FOR
AMERICA'S FUTURE LEADERSHIP
A.
BEING PREPARED -- LIFE-LONG ENQUIRY
[Notre Dame graduates are well-educated and fully-
prepared for leadership. You are needed to preserve
world-class standards of excellence and life-long
intellectual growth.]
B.
BEING PRINCIPLED -- SOUND BELIEFS
[Notre Dame graduates are needed to provide moral and
spiritual grounding for America's children. In
addition, our values-instilling institutions must be
strengthened to help restore character and integrity as
the standard for society.]
C.
BEING PARTNERS -- BUILDING COMMUNITY
[Notre Dame graduates are needed to help restore the
American family as the primary -- and most critical --
institution in rebuilding American communities.]
III. CONCLUSION -- CHARGE TO THE GRADUATES
[Will these Notre Dame graduates launch the second 150
years of this great institution by serving as models of
the power of being prepared, being principled and being
partners -- for the purpose of serving God, others and
their country. If so, the mantle of tomorrow's
leadership is theirs and it will be in good hands.]

My name is Barbara Moran and I'm a Senior American Studies

I will most likely be working in a school that has metal

has, and the other half is missing. It has become my

Name: Jimmy Venza
Major: Anthropology / History
Hometown: Houston, Texas
Growing up in an Italian-American household instilled in me the value of family. My
notions of family have continuously been broadened to encompass the whole of the
human family as a result of my Catholic faith and the education that I have received
here at Notre Dame. This learning process has lead me to seek out a position within
the Accord Foundation. Before I explain the fundamental reasons for my choice to
work with Accord, let me describe what the organization seeks to accomplish.
Accord's mission statement serves as inspiration to all who are active within the
organization: "The Accord Foundation promotes harmony among conflicting
individuals and groups by developing and supporting projects that meet essential
human needs through mutual cooperation in the spirit of selfless service." We are
committed to seeking cooperative efforts and constructive communication between the
Palestinians and Israelis. At the moment, the major focus of our work is directed
toward the Palestinian refugees living in the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip. Due to
their pressing needs, we are involved in a number of projects that work actively to
provide relief in the areas of health and education.
The reasons that I have offered my services to the Accord Foundation are two-fold.
First, my Catholic foundation has taught me that, as humans, we are called to enter
into life fully by rejoicing in our oneness. To discover this unity with one another, we
must embrace each other's experiences-especially those who suffer injustice. This
brings me to the second reason for my decision and, that is, to live out my beliefs
concerning the sacredness of human life, as understood in the Catholic tradition. As
part of the human family and, more narrowly, the Notre Dame family, I feel it is my role
to stand strong against the forces in Israeli society that strip away the dignity of
individuals and groups in the passionate desire to foster an atmosphere of mutual
respect and cooperation.
I give over all rights to this information to President Bush, only asking that this
information be used in the tone that it is written, and that any and all comments
concerning it reflect the inspiration behind my decision to work for the peaceful end to
the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Switch gears--
In the opening paragraphs, remarks will be made about the changes
that have occurred during their college years. Can you get a list
of major events during the past four years. For example - --
communism collapsed, the Berlin Wall fell, freedom rolled across
the deserts of Kuwait, [major medical breakthrough -- gene
therapy?, understanding of the way brain works?, impressive stat
or $ total in conquering some disease or research finding] [major
step forward in some social arena, on an issue???] kind of
nebulous thoughts, but I would like to have some domestic
accomplishments to brag about along with the three foreign policy
triumphs. Can you come up with a couple of comparable items?

Had very brief time with David because of phone calls from
President and Sam Skinner and arrival of Bill Bennett.
Bottom line
1) Use Kristol for structure, not rhetoric
2) Don't use pat statements -- things are
more complex than K implies
3) Emphasize the institutional decline which
left people at sea and allowed the
social planners a void into which
they flowed.
4) Don't rehash Great Society (looks backward
rather than forward)
5) Focus on today's REALITY, rather than the
REASONS for social decay.
6) Use examples like formula for young
black girl to stay out of or slip
into poverty.
7) Compare stats from 1960 to now as a means
of showing decay rather than preaching
decline.
8) Don't be moralistic, don't preach
9) Use examples of personal responsibility
10) Illustrate what government can do and what
people have to do for themselves.
