REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT 12TH ANNUAL NORTHWEST REPUBLICAN FAMILY PICNIC
Ned Brown Preserve
Elk Grove Village, Illinois
1:25 P.M. CDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Hey, you guys
ready for a 45-minute speech, okay. (Applause.) Thank you very
much. Thank you very much. Here is a man suggesting that we change
control of the United States Congress. He is right. And that's what
some of this election is going to be about. (Applause.)
Let me salute the Governor, let me salute Governor
Edgar, and say what a great job he and the Lieutenant Governor and
others are doing for this country. And let me tell you, it is
absolutely essential that we get more support in the United States
Senate. So vote for Rich Williamson here, and send him to
Washington. (Applause.)
Let me just say this -- I won't talk but a second -- we
have indeed changed the world. And now I need your help in getting
this country on the move, changing America for the values we all
believe in. And we can do it. (Applause.)
I've never seen such a strange political year, but I'll
tell you this: When that convention in Houston is over, I am going
to come out and go after that opponent -- he's been on my case for
six months -- and we are going to define it and we are going to win
the election. (Applause.) Six months. Six months of distorting the
great Republican record. And I'm going to take the case to the
people and we will win in November.
Thank you all very much. (Applause.) Thank you very,
very much. Now go dry out. (Applause.)

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: PICNIC RALLY
ELK GROVE, ILLINOIS
AUGUST 2, 1992
1:30 P.M.
Thank you, Rich [Williamson], for those kind words. I could
have listened to you go on all day. [Acknowledgements.] It's
great to be in Elk Grove, great to be back in Chicago: land of
the free -- and home of the Bears. //
You're home to some of this country's greatest athletes.
The other night, I saw Michael Jordan win the long jump and the
high jump ... in a single game of basketball. //
I brought my mitt today. I should have brought along
Barbara and the grandkids -- could have had a whole softball
team, complete with subs: Give the term "Bush league" a whole
new meaning. //
Someone asked me the other day why I was a Republican. I
looked them straight in the eye and said: Free corn-on-the-cob
at the Elk Grove Picnic. // Corn, soft drinks, beer -- all for
$5 dollars. Now that's what I call family values. //
We live at a time of tremendous opportunity. The changes
we've worked for have come to pass: The end of the Cold War
the collapse of imperial communism
...
a new birth of freedom,
from Managua to Moscow. A new world of hope for ourselves -- for
our kids.
Something I've thought about many times since I met with
Boris Yelstin at the White House: The world we live in is a
2
safer world -- safer than it was a decade ago / a year ago --
safer than it was two months ago, when kids walked out of school
and into summer. I'm proud of the progress we've made in
reducing some of the world's most dangerous nuclear weapons. //
Let me tell you what that means: Not for Presidents or
Prime Ministers
not for historians or heads of state
but
for parents, and for our kids: it means a future free from fear.
//
Now we face a new challenge. The time has come for the
country that's changed the world
to change America. And let
me tell you: America is up to the challenge. //
This election year is about how we change to meet those
challenges. But this election is not just about change --
because change has a flip-side. That flip-side is called trust.
When you get right down to it, this election will be like every
other: When you pull that curtain closed and cast your vote
November 3rd -- trust matters. //
When the phone rings in the middle of the night in the White
House
when a crisis comes half a world away
trust
matters.
And that's the way it should be. //
Now, that's trust in the traditional sense. But that's just
part of the picture. I stake my claim on a simple philosophy:
To lead a great nation
you must first trust the people you
lead.
Look at every big issue we face. You'll see a choice -- a
3
choice between those who put their faith in everyday Americans,
and those who put their faith in government.
The other side seems to be saying "of the government, by the
government, for the government." I stand with the great son of
Illinois who spoke government "of the people, by the people, for
the people. "
I trust parents -- not the government -- to make the
decisions that matter in life. //
I trust parents -- not the government -- to choose their
children's schools: public, private or religious. //
I trust parents -- not the government -- to choose their
children's child care. // When the other side says, "government
knows best" -- I say: Parents know better. Parents know better
than some bureaucrat in Washington, D.C. //
For weeks now, I've been careful not to criticize my
opponent by name. But today, it's time to get specific. The
American people need to know what the Governor of Arkansas has
planned for them -- on one of the most personal of all issues:
health care. //
All of us want to see health care reform. But my opponent
backs a plan called "Pay or Play" -- a plan for government-run
RATIONING
health care. "Pay or Play" would require a new payroll tax of at
least 7% Who would pay? It could come out of workers' wages --
out of your paychecks. {For a worker making $xx,000 a year, that
would mean $x,000 more in taxes.} or they could try to pass the
costs on to small businesses -- the business that create most of
4
the jobs in this country -- who simply cannot foot the bill. And
that could cost 700,000 American jobs. //
I'll tell you: It's enough to make you sick. //
Nationalized health care would be a national disaster. And
I call on my opponent to abandon this idea.
Ask anyone: ask anyone who's spent months checking the mail
for that income tax refund -- or whiled away a day in line at the
DMV -- if they want to put the government in change of health
care. I don't believe the American people want to see the
government playing doctor. //
My health care plan will provide access to affordable health
care to all Americans -- it will help keep quality high and help
keep costs down. And it won't do it on the backs of American
workers or the small businesses that employ them.
And that's important -- because the number one issue today
is the economy -- it's jobs. That's what's keeping people up
late at night -- worrying about how they're going to pay the
bills
put food on the table
care for their kids
and
still manage to put away something for their own retirement.
These concerns aren't mere matters of economics. Trust
matters here, too. I trust you to spend and save your money more
wisely than some budget planner in Washington.
Six months ago in my State of the Union, I proposed a
common-sense, comprehensive plan to get this economy moving
faster -- right now. Tax incentives -- to encourage businesses
to hire new workers. A $5000 tax credit -- $5000 dollars right
5
off the income tax you owe -- as a break for young families
struggling to scrimp and save and buy that first home.
Think about that. Some lucky person is going to win the
$5000 raffle prize this afternoon. Maybe it'll be someone from
Elk Grove or Palatine, from Hanover or Shaumburg. Maybe even
from Maine -- that's Maine County, of course. //
Well, my plan would put $5000 dollars in the hands of every
first-time homebuyer: To help you -- or your kids -- reach that
American Dream. //
If Congress had acted -- my economic plan would have created
half a million jobs.
Instead, Congress sat on my plan -- and sent me one full of
new government spending, and new taxes.
You know the story. I sent it back. //
I'm still waiting -- America's still waiting -- almost 200
days later. My economic recovery plan is being held hostage and
the ransom note reads, "wait 'till after the election."
There are some signs Congress may be getting the message.
Last Wednesday, the Senate Finance Committee approved a package
including a tax credit for first time homebuyers of $2500
dollars. It's half a year late
half as much as I asked for
half way through the Congress.
People ask what I think? That's not half bad. //
But what I'm going to say to Congress is: The American
people are waiting. They want action. Pass a bill that helps us
get this economy growing again. //
6
Let me close today with a few words from the heart. //
Barbara and I are blessed -- blessed to serve at a moment in
history when so many of the old fears have been driven away
when so many new hopes stand within our reach.
Since the day I took the oath of office, I've made it my
duty always to work for what's right for America. //
This election is about the big issues. The issues that
shape the world -- and the values close to home: I'm talking
about jobs, about family and faith -- about neighborhoods free
from crime
about a world free from fear. About trusting a
leader who trusts you.
Today, I say to all the good people of this state: together
we've made a great beginning. Give me four more years to finish
the job. //
Thank you all for this warm Illini welcome -- and may God
bless this great nation, the United States of America.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT RICH WILLIAMSON FOR SENATE
FUNDRAISING BRUNCH
Hyatt Regency O'Hare Hotel
Rosemont, Illinois
12:15 P.M. CDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very, very much. What a
wonderful welcome. And that makes me convinced that I'm going to win
in November, too. (Applause.)
Let me thank Rich Williamson. And good morning and my
respects to Jane, and of course, to Jim Edgar, who is just doing a
superb job as Governor of this state. You ought to be very, very
proud of him. (Applause.)
And Rich couldn't have a better man at his side than
Secretary of State George Ryan, longtime friend. (Applause.) And
I'm grateful also to Lieutenant Governor Bob Kustre, who was out
there at the airport to say hello; and to the State's Attorney Jack
O'Malley. My old friend, Congressman Phil Crane, with us today. And
if you want some heavy lifting done in the fundraising, get H. Clark
involved. H, thank you very, very much for what you've done here.
(Applause.)
And also, I want to salute our State Chairman Al
Jourdan. And National Committeewoman Mary Jo Arndt is here today.
(Applause.) I see she brought some of her family with her; that's
good.
It's great to be back here in Chicago. I was half
tempted to call the Mayor while I'm in town. (Laughter.) My guess
is that he was pretty upset by his party's recent gathering in New
York. He thought Chicago had the nickname, "The Windy city."
(Laughter.)
But this afternoon, I want to tell you a story about a
young girl -- poor in pocket but rich in hope -- who left her German
village to come to America. She came in search of something larger
than herself -- a future for her children and for their children.
Here in Chicago, she married another immigrant. She took in laundry,
he sold clothes. They lived in a tiny apartment and never gave up
hope that their daughter would have a better future -- and their
daughter's son an even better one.
That's how this country was born. And that's how it
grew into the most proud, the most free nation on the face of the
Earth. America became great through millions of stories like this --
stories of men and women who left behind their homes in order to take
a chance on a dream for their children here in "the land of
opportunity."
If that young woman I just told you about were here
today, she would see how her sacrifice made the American Dream come
true for her grandson. And she would see with pride that he stands
MORE
- 2
here today determined to make that dream come true for all of us,
the sons and the daughters of Illinois -- the whole country. Helen
Salisbury would be proud to see the next senator from Illinois, her
grandson -- Rich Williamson. (Applause.)
As he said, Rich and I go back a long way. Rich and his
dog, Mac, knew Millie before she was a best-selling author.
(Laughter.) So I'm here out of friendship for a brilliant, dedicated
leader. But I'm also here for what B' good for the United States of
America. And I thought George Ryan put it very, very well when he
spelled out what's at stake here -- because Rich's race and the race
I'm involved in have a lot in common. If you really want to make a
change in this country, let's change the institution that hasn't
changed for 38 years and change control of the United States
Congress. And Rich can do a lot to help -- (applause.)
In the dog days of summer, it's very easy to be
attracted to the new candidate -- the one who says the things the
polls say the people want to hear. But by the fall, the American
people look more closely and the ask this question: "Who do we trust
to change America?" "Who has the ideas to carry us forward to a
better future?"
Rich Williamson is a leader worthy of your trust. Just
as we've changed the world we now have the ideas to change America.
Rich and I both believe that to lead a great nation you must first
trust the people you lead.
Look at the two sides in this election --- and the
choice is very clear. On one side you have people advocating a
nation "of the government. by the government, for the government."
Rich and I have a very different philosophy. We agree with another
son of Illinois -- America should be a nation "of the people, by the
people, and for the people." (Applause.)
Let me just take one issue today discuss one issue to
show the Grand Canyon of philosophy that separates the two sides in
this election. It is one of the most pressing concerns that we face
today: I'm talking about health care. Our health care system
doesn't work today -- we all know that. Thirty-four million
Americans are without insurance. Millions more worry that they
cannot afford the rising costs of health care.
What are we going to do about it? Well, the other side
and I have both put forward plans -- you can look them over. I
invite comparison. The other plan offers health care reform. My
plan offers health care reform. The other plan is printed on plain,
white bond paper, and my plan is printed on plain, white bond paper.
From there the differences are wider than an Illinois
cornfield. The other plan will dump 52 million Americans into a new
government bureaucracy -- and my plan will help 90 million Americans
afford private insurance to take care of their health care needs.
(Applause.)
The other plan would slap at least a seven-percent
payroll tax on middle-income Americans -- and my plan would provide
tax relief to Americans, to help them pay for their own health care.
The other plan will cost America at least 700,000 jobs
-- and my plan helps small business afford health insurance so they
can hire more people: The other plan will create lines at hospitals
so long you'll think they were selling Bears tickets inside.
(Laughter.) My plan will allow you to get. the care you need when you
need it. And my plan will preserve the quality of health care in
this country.
The other plan is going to put bureaucrats in charge of
setting health care prices -- and my plan attacks the root cause of
MORE
3 -
rising costs: faulty insurance, too much paperwork, far too many
frivolous lawsuits out there. (Applause.)
Understand what's at stake here. If the Governor of
Arkansas is elected with a Democratic Congress -- and a new
Democratic senator from Illinois -- within a year the government will
run health care in this country. Our health care system will combine
the efficiency of the House post office with the compassion of the
KGB. I am not going to let that happen. (Applause.)
Give me Rich Williamson in the Senate, and we will fight
against those who put the government first all the time, We'll fight
America. for what works for America. We will fight for what's right for
That's what this election is all about. Not about
change alone because change always happens. The question is, who do
you trust to change America?
On health care, taxes, education and every other issue
we face, Rich and I say the same thing: Let others listen to the
polls; let others listen to the pols -- Rich and I want to fight for
what's right for the United States of America. (Applause.)
Rich touched on it and he and I share a strong love of a
certain proud American tradition -- one that his kids, Ricky and
Lisa, already shared with us today. I want to close by asking all of
you to listen once again to these familiar words. I believe with all
my heart that Americans must join and once again pledge allegiance to
the finest vision of the United States of America -- "one nation,
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
That is the country I love -- the country Rich loves --
the country you love. When I ask you to help that country by
believing in this good man -- working for him -- and voting for him,
I'm sure you'll answer in the words of the motto of this great city
of Chicago: "I will."
God bless you all. Thank you very, very much for this
fantastic turnout and this wonderful support. Thank you very much.
(Applause.)
