Yesterday, I was in Elk Grove, Illinois -- today, in Dalton,
Georgia -- talking about what's at stake in this election --
talking to them about trust.
But while I've been talking about trust, my opponent has
been bashing away -- telling us what's wrong with America. You
know, there's a little joke going around that the Democrats have
a new diet. It's a sure fire way to stay thin: You only get to
eat dessert when the Democrats say something positive about
America.
I've never believed in that approach to politics. Ever since
I've been active in public life, I've been guided by this ideal:
trust the people. And, as I've followed this ideal, I've never
been disappointed. The beauty of America
the greatness of our
land
always has been the ingenuity of Americans -- and your
achievements right here in Jacksonville are a testament to that
ingenuity.
Let me cut to the heart of the matter about the important
choice we face this November 3rd. You know, we've really got two
options. I believe that a government worthy of the people's trust
must trust the people.
This is why I'm leading the charge to allow parents to send
their children to the school of their choice -- public, private,
or religious.
This is why I'm fighting to give parents greater leeway on
where they send their kids for childcare.
3
And this is why I'm fighting for tax relief for first-time
Leg
home buyers, why I believe we've got to get government off the
Affairso
back of the people and out of their wallets.
You know about the other option. It's what my opponent and
their friends in Congress have to offer. Deep down, they believe
that the American people really can't be trusted, that -- if we
want to solve problems -- we've got to put our trust not in
people and families, but in government and big bureaucracy.
Forgive me if I say that I have more faith in you to do the right
thing.
I'm sure I don't have to tell you: The other side is working
overtime to repackage their old liberal ideas. A new wrapping. A
nice bow. Lots of smiles and cameras and slick campaign themes.
But what these guys really have to offer you is castor oil -- and
it really doesn't matter how pretty the glass is. That's their
vision for America. No faith in people. More government. More
taxes. They believe in managing failure; we believe in creating
success.
ok
And, Jacksonville, let me fill you in on a little secret:
91
Over the next 90 days, I'm going to take my message to the
days
American people. I'm going to fight hard for what's right, the
values that you and I share -- support for God and family, a pro-
growth economic agenda -- getting the government off our backs,
making our streets safe at home, and keeping America strong
abroad.
4
These are the things that made America great, and these are
the things that we will not surrender. And here is where I need
your help: We cannot let them tear down our accomplishments and
preach their negative politics. We can't let them run down our
great country and tie us down with their regulations.
Often times, at big political rallies like this, candidates
come before the people and they ask for favors. And I guess I'm
no exception. Let me be clear: I need your vote this November.
But I also want to take a moment to offer you some thanks -
- thanks for your support as we have rebuilt America and reshaped
our world.
Together, you have stood with me through some of this
nation's most challenging moments -- I think back to our bid to
ensure that the vital Panama Canal was not controlled by a drug-
running dictator. With your support, we chased Mr. Noriega and we
ran him to ground. Today, Panama is free and Mr. Noriega --- he's
anything but.
Then, you stood with me against Soviet tyranny. Together,
Ronald Reagan and I promised you in 1981 that we would revive
this nation's defenses and support those brave men and women
fighting for freedom around the world. You supported me, and
today imperial communism is dead.
And when Saddam Hussein sought to expand his power in the
Persian Gulf, and threatened American interests, you stood with
me. He invaded Kuwait, and he was prepared to continue his march.
we
It was a grave hour for America. But, with your support, we faced

down Saddam. Maybe you remember my words: this will not stand
And then, with the help of our brave fighting forces -- including
a lot from right here in Jacksonville -- we drove Saddam right
Harrel gally
out of Kuwait. You supported me, you supported our troops, and
America prevailed.
Let me say this: We still have a little bit of unfinished
business south of this great state. Let me make this prediction:
The days of a certain gray-bearded tyrant -- you know who I'm
talking about -- are numbered. In my next term, I look forward to
being the first American President to set foot on the beaches of
a free and democratic Cuba.
When it comes to America's security in the world, let's not
close our eyes to history. If history tells us anything, it tells
us this: The next four years will likely bring us new threats;
some may be severe. Thanks to American persistence, the Soviet
bear is extinct. But many wolves remain. I will do all in my
power to keep America safe and the wolves at bay.
As you look at the changes we have achieved together, you
need to be a little skeptical about a candidate who now --
looking around for a rallying call -- says 'Hey, how about some
change?' Well, let me remind them: we are the change, and -- over
the past four years -- we have proven our ability to achieve what
many thought was the impossible. Today, as we join together here
in Jacksonville, our nation is more secure, our children are
safer -- and the world knows one thing for sure: Let the critics
say what they will, America is the world's leader.
6
Now, we're going to do it again -- on the domestic front.
Today, I want to ask you for your support for our domestic
crusade. But this election is not just about change, because
change has a flip side. And that flip side is called trust. And
so I stake my claim in a simple philosophy: To lead a great
nation you must first trust the people you lead.
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.
We also need to push for other key reforms -- changes that
will restore trust to government:
We need discipline in our federal spending. I ask you, join
me in my call for a line-item veto and a balanced budget
agreement.
We need the faith of our founders back in our schools: I ask
you, join me in my call for voluntary prayer in our nation's
classrooms.
We need safer streets: I ask you, join me in my call for
stronger prison sentences for the crack dealers and the death
penalty for drug kingpins that prey on our kids.
we?
7
And above all, we need to reform the Congress: I ask you:
join me in my call for term limitations for members of Congress.
Ladies and gentlemen, there has been much we have done
together. We have made a good beginning. Without your support,
I'm sure we could not have done what we have done. Thank you so
very much.
We have still more to do. And we will meet these challenges,
you and I. Let the other guys run this country down -- tell us
what's wrong with America. We'll focus on what's right about
America -- and we will continue working to build a government
that doesn't dictate to its people, but trusts them.
Thank you. God bless you all. And God bless America.

The Boston Globe, August 1, 1992
And though Matt Biondi raced only in the preliminaries, the relay was a bonanza
for him, too. He received a gold medal, the 11th medal of his Olympic career,
tying swimmer Mark Spitz and shooter Carl Osburn for the all-time record. Biondi
winds up with eight golds, two silvers and a bronze.
The Yanks also picked up a silver medal with Greg Burgess' 2:00.97 - off
the pace by 21/100ths of a second - in the 200-meter medley and a bronze by
Angel Martino in the 50-meter women's freestyle. Jenny Thompson, from Dover,
N.H., finished fifth in the same race.
"It's hard for me to speak for her," said the 25-year-old Martino. "She
seemed relaxed before the race. The 50
if one little thing goes wrong,
it's hard to make up for it because it's such a short race. Maybe she's tired
because it's been such a long meet for her, but she's still a great swimmer."
The Americans finished the meet with 11 gold medals, nine silver and seven
bronze, better than double their take of 13 in the Seoul Games of '88.
No matter what their success in the final six events, the Yanks saw most of
the media's attention turned to 26-year-old Ron Karnaugh, whose father, Peter,
died here of a heart attack last Saturday night only moments after watching his
son march in the opening ceremonies. The 6-foot-5-inch Karnaugh finished sixth
The Associated Press, July 31, 1992
Perhaps showing a bit of nerves, Karnaugh false-started, just as he had in
the heats earlier in the day.
Then he went out fast, taking a lead after the butterfly leg before falling
to third during the backstroke.
He remained third at the start of the final freestyle leg, but seemed to tire
at the end, finishing in 2:02.18, almost two seconds slower than winner Tamas
Darnyi of Hungary, the world record-holder, whose time was 2:00.76.
Jacksonville
U.S. teammate Greg Burgess took the silver medal in 2:00.97.
Karnaugh's time was slower than his qualifying time of 2:01.64.
After spending the week in seclusion and practice, Karnaugh received a note
from American speedskater Dan Jansen, whose sister died hours before he was to
compete in the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary.
Jansen slipped and fell in the 500 meters, and fell again four days later in
the 1,000.

MEMORANDUM FOR MICHAEL JOHNS
FROM:
MICHELE NIX
SUBJECT:
JACKSONVILLE EVENT
The event will take place at what's called The Landing (much like
the Inner Harbor in Baltimore) -- shops, eateries, etc.
There will be a high school band (Fletcher HS) playing at the
event. They will probably stand behind POTUS as the backdrop.
There will be approximately 5,000 to 7,000 people at the event.
They have sent out tickets to registered Republicans in the Duval
County area and distributed some to the local offices in the
area.
There will be signs a-waving and people a-shouting -- this, they
say, will help in case any protesters try to make themselves
heard.
Sen. Connie Mack will intro POTUS.
Mayor Ed Austin (D) is supporting us. He will be presenting
POTUS with something after POTUS speaks. Might be a key to the
city but we don't know yet. Regradless, we will want to give him
a warm hello in the acknowledgements.
I talked to Steve and he said he'd call you and talk to you about
ideas/themes to hit.
I have a call in to a BQ guy in Jacksonville for local color. I
also have Lars (our intern) getting info from the Chamber of
Commerce.

MEMORANDUM FOR CHRISTINA MARTIN MS
FROM:
LARS PIERSON
THROUGH:
MICHELE NIX
SUBJECT:
JACKSONVILLE INFORMATION
Yesterday I spoke with a representative of the Jacksonville
Chamber of Commerce about the upcoming rally. In conversation I
was told, off the record, that The Landing is not looked upon
favorably by much of the population of Jacksonville. Evidently,
it was funded with taxpayer money in spite of much protest.
Also, I was told that there is great racial strife in the
area and that the potential exists for some sort of protest march
on Saturday.
Upon discussing this information with Michele Nix, both she
and Dan McGroarty suggested that I inform you of this in the
event that it may become important.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS:
JACKSONVILLE
RALLY
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA
AUGUST 3, 1992
12:30 P.M.
Senator Mack, thank you. What a fantastic job you are doing
for this great state.
Congressmen Cliff Stearns and Craig James, Minority Leader
Crenshaw, State Treasurer Gallagher, Councilwoman Fowler -- thank
you all.
Thank you to the Fletcher High School Cheerleaders behind me
-- to the Fletcher Marching Band -- and I understand everyone
here was entertained by a wonderful singing group: the
Amerikids.
Finally, Mayor Austin: thank you for your hospitality here
today. Thanks even more for your support -- and for your open-
mindedness toward the "other side." Though I have to warn you,
Mayor, there may be a few moments during the next few minutes
that you may want to cover your ears for what I'm about to say.
If you're like me, you're grabbing every spare moment you
can to keep up with the Games in Barcelona. My favorite is Pablo
Morales, the swimmer who missed out in '84, didn't make the team
in '88, then came back this year to take the Gold -- // at the
ripe old age of 27. I don't know why, but I kind of like a guy
who proves youth and inexperience are no match for maturity and
determination. //
You've heard plenty of talk already this year about change.
2
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. //
Many times, in the White House late at night, the phone
rings. Most times it's an aide double-checking the next day's
schedule. But sometimes it's another voice -- more serious, more
solemn -- bringing news of a coup in a powerful country, or word
of a bully threatening the peace halfway round the world. / The
American people need to know that the man who answers that phone
has the experience, the seasoning -- the guts -- to do the right
thing. // You want a leader you can trust. I have proved I am
that man. //
Now, that's trust in the traditional sense -- trust that
keeps America safe and strong. But that's just part of the
picture. Trust matters -- when you're looking to someone to
build a strong economy
a better future. 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
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 of government "of the people, by the people,
3
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. 11 When the other side says, "government
knows best" -- I say: Parents know better. Parents know better
than some bureaucrat in Washington, D.C. //
I trust the people -- not the government -- to choose their
own health care. [[Mayor Fletcher -- be warned: Here it
comes. ]] If the other side gets in power -- with the Democrats
in Congress -- within a year -- the government will run health
care
... and you'll be paying another payroll tax. With the
government in charge, our health care system will combine the
efficiency of the Department of Motor Vehicles -- with the
compassion of the KGB. //
As long as I'm President, I say: We don't want the
government playing doctor. Let's keep health care in the hands
of the people. //
But the number one issue today is the economy -- it's jobs.
The question is how we keep the American economy Number One in
the world.
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
4
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
off the income tax you owe -- as a break for young families
struggling to work and save and buy that first home.
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."
Let me ask you to send a message to Congress: The American
people are tired of waiting. They want jobs. No alibis. No
excuses. It's time for action -- now. //
This is what this campaign is all about -- who do you trust
to change America? The other side says -- they want to "put the
people first. " But look at every change they propose: It isn't
putting people first -- it's putting government first.
It sounds good
...
sounds easy
but why has almost every
nation in the world moved away from it?
I stand for a different way.
On education: Let others listen to the polls -- let others
listen to the pols: I'm going to do what's right for America.
On health care: Let others listen to the polls -- let
others listen to the pols: I'm going to do what's right for
America. //
On national defense: Let others listen to the polls -- let
others listen to the pols: I'm going to do what's right for
America. //
5
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.
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.
But for all of freedom's great gains, we still have a little
bit of unfinished business south of this great state. Let me
make this prediction: The days of a certain gray-bearded tyrant
-- you know who I'm talking about -- are numbered. In my next
term, I look forward to being the first American President to set
foot on the soil of a free and democratic Cuba.
The world we live in is a safer world -- safer than it was a
decade ago / a year ago -- safer than it was two months ago, when
the kids right here 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. //
The important thing isn't what that means for Presidents or
Prime Ministers
not for historians or heads of state
but
what it means for parents, and for our kids: it means a future
free from fear. //
We have done so much the past four years together.
Now that we have changed the world -- it's time to change
America. //
6
Thank you all for this warm Florida welcome -- and may God
bless this great nation, the United States of America.

dollars. It's half a year late

Let me close today with a few words from the heart. //
5
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.
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.
But for all of freedom's great gains, we still have a little
bit of unfinished business south of this great state. Let me
make this prediction: The days of a certain gray-bearded tyrant
-- you know who I'm talking about -- are numbered. In my next
term, I look forward to being the first American President to set
foot on the soil of a free and democratic Cuba.
Let me tell you something I've thought about many times
since I met at the White House with Boris Yeltsin. The world we
live in is a safer world -- safer than it was a decade ago / a
year ago -- safer than it was two months ago, when the kids right
here 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. //
The important thing isn't what that means for Presidents or
Prime Ministers
not for historians or heads of state
but
what it means for parents, and for our kids: it means a future
free from fear. //
Yes, America has changed the world -- and now we're going to
change America. //

Thank you all for this warm welcome -- and may God bless
this great nation, the United States of America.

RE: Examples of Successes in Welfare Reform
Please find attached a list of 4 people that have previously been
on welfare and through the help of Project Independence (a program
offered through the Department of Health and Rehabilitative
Services) they were able to obtain employment and break the wel fare
cycle.
Project Independence was started under Covernor Martinoz's
leadership. One of the ideas for the program grew out of the pilot
project that your own Senator Bankliead introduced to the
Legislature. Project Independence was able to provide training
that included tips on how to look for a job, how to complete job
applications and how to have a cuococcful interview. In some
instances they provided training through Florida Community College.
Florida has been a leader in welfare reform and has set the example
for other states by implementing innovative programs and setting
up partnerships with other agencies and private business.

Tom Slade, Victory '92 Ch.
A host of Republican candidates and legislators
Tom Gallagher, State Treasurer
State Senator Ander Crenshaw, Senate Minority Leader
Note: Florida is two seats away from a Republican
majority in the state senate. Maybe when you
acknowledge Ander, you could say, "Ander
Crenshaw, Florida's Senate Minority Leader, and
after November, I'll be proud to call him the
Senate MAJORITY Leader." It's a cheap applause
line it may work, though
State Rep. James Lombard, House Minority Leader
The Fletcher High School Marching Senators (from
Jacksonville) will be playing the honors, etc.
Maybe joke potential here -- I wish these Senators
could teach the senators back in Washington to
march to a different beat. ?????
Amerikids a group affiliated with the First Baptist
Church in Jacksonville. They may not be performing
while POTUS is there, but it would be nice to
acknowledge them. Sally is trying to get Tim
Simonson to have them sing the National Anthem or
some other patriotic song for POTUS. Call Tim for
an update.
NOTES IN GENERAL: There have been a lot of race riots in
Jacksonville. Sally suggests we include language about POTUS not
tolerating bigotry and that this is a time for all Americans to
pull together and work for the good of the country.
There is a strong homebuilding/realty presence in Jacksonville.
Include language about homebuilding initiates in growth package
and hpw construction has always pulled us out of bad times, and if
Congress would pass these housing-related initiatives, we wouldn't
have these problems, damnit.
Jacksonville is a big military community, so the Desert Storm
stuff will go over well -- especially the part about the community
rallying around the troops and supporting them throughout the war.
Maybe we could include a line in the thank-you section about how
the support of the people was the extra boost that made this
effort so successful. When everyone rallies around a cause,
something gets done. Nothing gets accomplished when people
(Dems.) just sit back and bitch about it. Republicans get
missions accomplished through action, not voiced aggravation.
Enough said. Sally can be reached at the Omni in Jacksonville
this weekend at 904-355-6664. She is a great contact -- she used
to be one of the regional political directors here at the WH.
She's got a good head on her shoulders and some great political
intuition.

BUSINESS CLIMATE
JACKSONVILLE INCENTIVES
To attract and promote business development in the First Coast area,
various incentives and programs are available to help enterprises with financing,
incentives, training, and foreign trade.
FINANCING
Several financing options exist for the construction of manufacturing
facilities at Jacksonville International Airport. This world class facility, which is
operated by the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT), has allocated over 4,000
acres for commercial development. JAXPORT stands ready to provide long-term
land leases at very reasonable rates for companies wishing to build their own
facilities at the airport. In addition, JAXPORT will consider constructing a facility
to a company's specifications under a long-term lease arrangement.
Financial assistance programs have also been created to help firms that
move to Jacksonville. These include:
Community Development Block Grant Float, providing short term con-
struction loans at below-market rates. Maximum loan amount varies ac-
cording to size of project.
State of Florida Transportation Fund. Up to $2 million dollars may be
tension. available to help build or improve existing roads to a site or a runway ex-

INCENTIVES
The Mayor's Office, the City Council, the Jacksonville Chamber of
Commerce and the Jacksonville Port Authority all support businesses
aggressively and with a can-do attitude. The result is a healthy, fertile
environment for business growth. In addition to the financial assistance programs
listed previously, Jacksonville offers a series of incentives and benefits for
businesses and individuals, including:
Partial tax exemption for research and development
Tax Free Industrial Revenue Bonds
Community contribution tax incentives
Tax Increment Financing to fund infrastructure improvements on new
facilities
Tax credits for creating new jobs
Tax credits for businesses located in the city's Enterprise Zone
No sales tax on purchase of machinery and equipment for manufacturing
TRAINING
Many options are available to provide assistance in connection with
personnel recruitment, screening and training. Several available programs
involve public/private partnerships to provide high-quality training at little or
no cost to the employer. The Florida Community College at Jacksonville, a leader
in the design and implementation of customized business training programs,
administers some of these programs. Training options and resources include:
Industry Services Grants
Sunshine State Skills Program
Private Industry Council (PIC) of Jacksonville
Florida Job Service
Job Training and Partnership Act
The State of Florida Labor Training Program
Partnership for Workforce Preparation
FOREIGN TRADE ZONE
Businesses may take advantage of the Foreign Trade Zone Number 64,
operated by the Jacksonville Port Authority. The zone is located at JAXPORT's
Talleyrand and Blount Island Terminals, Jacksonville International Airport, as
well as on the city's Westside. A foreign trade zone is an area designated by the
U.S. Customs Service in which foreign and domestic goods are considered to be
outside U.S. Customs territory. Goods may be brought into the area without
formal customs entry, the payment of duty or import quotas.

OTHER BUSINESS FACTORS
TAXATION
Florida offers the benefit of being the only state in the Southeast with no
personal income tax. When top US cities are ranked in terms of tax burden on
individuals, Jacksonville ranks among the lowest (49th of 51 cities). In Florida,
taxes are low, expenditures limited, and state and local debt generally small.
This reflects a long tradition of fiscal conservation and a limited view of
government's role in business affairs.

UTILITIES
Electric services, as well as customer service functions for water and
sewage, are provided by the Jacksonville Electric Authority, an agency of the city
government. At $69.15 per 1,000 Kilowatt Hours (KWH) Jacksonville's
residential rates are the lowest in Florida and are among the lowest in the nation.
The city's commercial rates, approximately $6.05 per KWH, are also among the
nation's lowest; this figure includes a Fuel Adjustment charge.

COMMUNICATIONS
Jacksonville enjoys access to some of the most sophisticated telephone
switching equipment in the country. Southern Bell provides area customers with
a state-of-the-art communications infrastructure supported by the latest in fiber
optic technology. Southern Bell established a sophisticated high-capacity
switching center in South Jacksonville in 1989 to service the growing need for
information handling and transmission. This center provides high-speed digital
service for voice, data, graphics and video applications at economical rates.
All major businesses in the Jacksonville area are either presently served
by fiber or have it available to them in the immediate vicinity. The result is a
powerful, flexible and reliable communications system that brings voice, data
and image communications to all businesses served in this region.
AIR SERVICE
A $101.6 million expansion and renovation will take Jacksonville
International Airport (JIA) well into the next century. Six major airlines and three
regional commuter carriers serve JIA, which is located two miles from Interstate
95, a 20-minute drive from downtown Jacksonville. With nearly 100 flights daily
and all-new luggage handling equipment, the newly renovated terminal
comfortably accommodates nearly 3,000,000 passengers per year.

7.29.1992 10:53
P. 6
Currently, JIA's 28-acre general aviation complex is controlled by a fixed
base operator. While the airport's master plan provides for a noise buffer zone,
the affected area is located over mainly undeveloped land designated for
commercial use.
JLA is especially attractive for aircraft repair, maintenance and virtually all
other tailfeather activities. With excess capacity built right in, JIA's new facility
ensures fast, direct access to runways and airspace. The airport draws on a large
and steady supply of skilled labor drawn from Jacksonville's three U.S. Navy
airfields and a major Naval Air Rework Facility. An elaborate network of fully
accredited educational and training institutions also contributes training and
adds more new people every year to this impressive supply of skilled workers.

JACKSONVILLE INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT
Fast on the heels of a $101.6 million expansion and renovation,
Jacksonville International Airport (JIA) is poised for unprecedented growth.
Currently, JIA accommodates nearly 3 million passengers per year; expansion
plans call for 7 million in the not-too-distant future. Jacksonville's premier
airport can handle every commercial aircraft now flying and is the perfect
location for aeronautical manufacturing, maintenance and related businesses
and industries.
JIA is operated by the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT), an
independent agency chartered by the State of Florida to own, operate and
develop seaport and airport facilities located in Jacksonville. Assignment of these
multiple responsibilities under one administrative roof allows JAXPORT to
satisfy a wide range of customer needs at JIA.
Located on Jacksonville's Northside, just 20 minutes from downtown, JIA
boasts two parallel runways, 66,000 square feet of covered cargo space and a
sparkling new passenger terminal, all on 7,500 acres of property. Development
of 4,000 of those acres is a high priority at JIA; in fact, direct runway access for
600 acres is already in place. Every day, nearly 100 daily departures are offered
by six of the nation's major airlines and three regional commuter carriers. JIA is
a designated customs facility and offers the benefits of a Foreign Trade Zone.
Ambitious expansion plans also call for two additional 33,000 square foot
air cargo buildings, bringing the total to 132,000 square feet; a new 30,000 square
foot U.S. Postal Service airmail facility; and the development of multi-modal
transportation access for cargo and passengers. Henson Aviation has signed a
40-year lease for its new $2 million USAir Express repair and maintenance
facility.
Looking down the road, JAXPORT is ready with plans to extend the
terminal and parking complexes. New free-standing satellite terminals will be
connected to the existing terminal structure by an automated rail system. A
direct link to Florida's High Speed Rail System is also planned.

CRAIG AIRPORT
Craig Airport, one of Florida's busiest and fastest growing general
aviation centers, serves many of Jacksonville's corporate and private-use aircraft.
The airfield is conveniently located 10 minutes from downtown, suburban
business centers and the Beaches. The field comprises a total of 1,342 acres with
two 4,000-foot runways capable of handling gross landing weights of 43,000
pounds, the maximum of most corporate aircraft.
Craig Airport has a general utility (GU) role and functions to minimize
congestion by diverting general aviation traffic away from Jacksonville
International Airport.
Craig Airport is served by two fixed base operators, Sky Harbor and
Craig Air Center, both of which provide hangar, fueling, maintenance and
tie-down services to more than 270 aircraft. Other support services include
aircraft service and maintenance facilities, aircraft sales, aircraft flight school,
aviation insurance, avionic repair facilities and a complete airframe power plant
maintenance facility. The field also hosts instrument and electronic supply firms,
aircraft and ambulance charter operators and rental services for both automobile
and aircraft.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established a control
tower and an Instrument Landing System at Craig Airport to assist pilots with
both instrument and visual flight rules. A Flight Service Station is maintained
by the FAA lo issue weather briefs to pilots.
Craig Airport's location, excellent facilities and personalized service are
key to its tremendous growth and will keep it among the most convenient
general aviation airports in the United States.

HERLONG AIRPORT
Located on Jacksonville's Westside, just nine miles from downtown,
Herlong Airport serves the needs of western Duval County and northeastern
Clay County. Like Craig Airport, Herlong Airport has a general utility (GU) role,
serving to reduce airport congestion by diverting general aviation activity from
JIA. It is the city's primary recreational and sport flying airport, hosting owners
of single and light twin engine aircraft, sailplanes, ultra-lights and hot-air
balloons. JAXPORT is the fixed base operator for Herlong airport.
Herlong Airport consists of a 1,434-acre site, with two 4,000-foot runways
and room for a third. Runways are 100 feet wide and can accommodate gross
landing weights of 21,600 pounds. The airport offers a full complement of
tie-down areas, hangars, maintenance facilities and fueling operations.
A full 1,200 acres of Herlong Airport property are designated for
development. Tenants now include an aircraft restoration company and a
distribution firm.
Unlike JIA and Craig Airport, Herlong Airport is not a tower-controlled
airport. Past levels of airfield activity have not warranted such a facility; aircraft
maneuvers on the ground and in the air are, therefore, left to the discretion of
the pilots.

HIGHLIGHTS
This report presents the Jacksonville International Airport (JIA), Craig
Airport and Herlong Field as ideal locations for aeronautical manufacturing,
maintenance and distribution facilities. The information offers an overview of
the advantages and benefits of Jacksonville. A few of the incentives and
advantages for locating facilities in Jacksonville are:
Excellent marketing opportunities for your business. Jacksonville is
Florida's business center, featuring a diverse economic base of insurance,
banking, manufacturing, foreign trade, transportation, distribution,
defense, medical research, technology and tourism.
Jacksonville's strategic location in the Southeastern United States makes it
an ideal distribution hub. The city is serviced by three major railroads, 11
airfreight companies, three major interstate highways and a deepwater
port with modern, efficient facilities that are second to none.
Jacksonville offers a large supply of skilled labor to choose from at
favorable wage rates. The area's median age, 32.3, is among the lowest in
Florida; the workforce is young, energetic and well-educated.
Numerous available incentive programs are available to help with
finance, training, taxes and foreign trade and to minimize initial start-up
costs.
Jacksonville enjoys some of the lowest electric rates in Florida and the
nation.
Low tax rates prevail and Florida has no personal income tax. Tax
increment financing is available to fund infrastructure improvements and
new facilities. Tax credits are available for creating new jobs and for
businesses located in designated enterprise zones.
Jacksonville offers a superior quality of life. The cost of living is low
(average home price: $115,633); the climate is inviting and temperate, with
an average daily temperature of 71 degrees and annual rainfall of 51
inches. Recreational opportunities, especially golfing, tennis and water
sports, are available in abundance.
All these factors contribute to Jacksonville's favorable business climate,
which offers low operating costs, efficient operations and long-term profitability.

DISTRIBUTION
acksonville is a distribution hub with major advantages in virtually
every form of transportation. The city is located just nine miles from the Atlantic
ocean and offers modern deepwater port facilities that are second to none. It is
situated at the crossroads of three of the nation's largest railroads. Three major
interstate highways run through or near the city, providing access to 33 million
consumers within an eight-hour drive. And Jacksonville International Airport,
recently renovated at a cost of $101.6 million, is emerging as a state-of-the-art
transportation facility capable of efficiently handling passengers and cargo well
into the next century.
These combined facilities form one of the most efficient multi-modal
transportation centers in North America, connecting Europe, the Far East, the
Caribbean and South America. The port's proximity to the region's population
centers, along with the city's access to virtually every transportation system,
make Jacksonville an ideal location for facility expansion.
RAIL
Rail customers enjoy the benefits of three major railroads in one place:
CSX; Norfolk Southern and Florida East Coast. Together, they offer more
dedicated trains in more directions than at any South Atlantic port. CSX
Intermodal and Norfolk Southern both consider Jacksonville among their top
three hubs.
Rail customers benefit from Jacksonville's landbridge connection, making
it easy and cost-effective to ship goods to virtually any destination on the
continent. Connections between the Far East and Europe or South America are
also fast when routed through Jacksonville's deepwater port via the city's
dockside intermodal facilities. Total transport time can be days shorter than via
conventional routes through the Panama Canal.
Because Florida is primarily a consuming state, rail cars that enter the
state fully loaded often return Northbound with excess capacity. Shippers use
this excess capacity to negotiate very attractive rates.

7.29.1992 10:59
P.16
TRUCKING
Jacksonville is situated at the crossroads of two major Interstate highways
running north, south and west. I-95 runs from Miami to Maine, providing direct
access to the entire Eastern seaboard, the most concentrated stretch of consumers
in the nation. I-10 extends West to Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean. In
addition, I-75, an hour away, connects Jacksonville with Atlanta and the great
population centers of the Midwest. More than 100 trucking lines serve
Jacksonville, offering shippers flexibility and extremely competitive rates.

The city's primary airport, Jacksonville International, is operated by the
Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) and is served by 11 airfreight companies,
six major airlines and three commuter carriers. All are eager to help with the
shipping needs of their customers. New ramps have been constructed for two
additional cargo buildings to complement the existing two at JIA. When
completed, these new buildings will bring the airport's total covered cargo space
to 132,000 square feet. Cargo amounted to 16,345,237 pounds in 1990 - a 26%
increase over the previous year and up 41.6% from 1988.
JIA is located on a 7,500 acre property, 20 minutes from downtown
Jacksonville and two miles from Interstate 95. Four thousand acres have been
designated for development; 600 of these offer direct runway access via existing
taxiways. The property is surrounded by primarily undeveloped land which is
zoned for commercial development.
WATER
JIA is located only minutes from a state-of-the-art 38-foot deepwater port
whose terminals are also operated by JAXPORT. Today nearly 30 international
shipping lines make JAXPORT a regular call with cargo originating in or
destined for about 75 different countries.
Millions of tons of raw materials and manufactured goods move through
the port annually. Exports include linerboard, paper products, automobiles and
parts, clay, metals, phosphate, foods and citrus and consumer goods. Major
imports include containers, automobiles, lumber, steel, coffee and bulk
commodities. With its modern, efficient intermodal facilities, the port offers an
attractive landbridge, linking Jacksonville to markets in the Caribbean and Latin
America, as well as Europe and the Far East.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
Global businesses are quickly discovering Jacksonville's enormous
appeal as a world-class distribution center. The deepwater port is just nine miles
from the Atlantic Ocean; three major interstate highways, heading north, south
and west, place Jacksonville within an eight-hour drive of 33 million consumers;
three large railroads operate major hubs here. Together, these facilities form one
of the most efficient multi-modal landbridges in North America, connecting
Europe, the Far East, the Caribbean and South America.
Jacksonville International Airport (JIA) is rapidly taking its place as a
major player in the city's international success. The airport's master plan calls for
the construction of state-of-the-art intermodal facilities to handle cargo moving
through the airport. JIA contains a designated U.S. Customs Service facility as
well as an active Foreign Trade Zone, which is considered to be outside U.S.
territory for purposes of calculating taxes, duties and quotas on foreign and
domestic goods.
With 4,000 acres of land slated for development, JIA has dynamic
expansion in mind. As many as four 10,000-foot runways are planned, along
with increased covered cargo space. In the not-too-distant future, JIA will be able
to handle up to 7 million passengers and 100 million tons of air cargo annually.
International cargo inbound and outbound links JAXPORT with at least
75 foreign countries; more than a dozen have invested in Jacksonville-based
facilities. The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, which maintains an
aggressive economic development operation, smooths the way for international
businesses by providing help with site selection, marketing profiles, certificates
of origin and other services. In addition, they help international corporations
locate sources for financing as well as incentives.
The World Trade Center Association of Jacksonville, a division of the
Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, promotes and facilitates international trade
for the economic benefit of Florida's First Coast. It is affiliated with the New
York-based World Trade Center Association (WCTA) and offers trade referrals,
information, networking opportunities and administrative services.

WORKFORCE
AVAILABILITY AND WAGES
U
nlike other cities that experienced rapid expansion during the past 20
years, Jacksonville has no shortage of labor. Instead, there is a steadily growing
supply of productive workers here to fill the jobs that keep the economy
growing. With a median age of 32.3, the Jacksonville area has one of the
youngest workforce bases in Florida. A healthy rate of in-migration, coupled
with an innovative and respected educational system, help to ensure an
uninterrupted flow of workers.
The area's most prominent industries include biotechnology, financial
services, technical services and manufacturing. According to a Florida
Department of Labor survey in September, 1991, employment composition of the
Jacksonville area workforce was broken down as follows:
Trade
117,600
25%
Services
115,200

In addition to the 45,000 active Navy personnel, approximately 20,000
who have separated from the military live in the immediate area, with 10,000
more within a 100-mile radius. Each year, another 2,000 separatees enter the
local civilian workforce. The vast majority of these retirees are well within
working age. They possess managerial, administrative and technical talent, as
well as skills in aviation repair and maintenance. Many are experienced pilots.
Along with their dependents, they serve as a strong source of reliable manpower
for the marketplace.

A particularly strong work ethic prevails in Jacksonville, with many
companies basing employee work weeks on 40 hours, which compares favorably
with the national average of 34.6. The city is noted for its low turnover and
absentee rates, which lend stability to the workforce.
Wage rates in Jacksonville are low compared to those in other cities
throughout the United States. For example, the Florida Department of Labor
reports that the average hourly wage for Airframe and Power Plant-certified
(A&P) mechanics is $12.40. By contrast, two of the Jacksonville area's most
prominent aeronautical companies -- Grumman and Kaman Aerospace -- pay
$8.75 and $6.50 per hour respectively. Approximately 350 new A&P certificates
are issued annually in the Jacksonville area.
Several leading defense contractors have relocated to Jacksonville and
have found an abundance of qualified and skilled workers locally. Among them:
Unison Industries: Engine Products Division, producing aircraft ignition
systems, 400 employees
B.F. Goodrich Company: Marine Products and Services Business unit,
which manufactures surface ship sonar dome units, 150 employees
Kaman Aerospace: Jacksonville Division, which assembles airplane parts
for the A-6, 65 employees
Grumman St. Augustine: Navy Aircraft Rework facility, 1,200 employees
Halifax Engineering, Inc.: Maritime pre-positioning force, 400 employees
UNIONS
Jacksonville enjoys a high degree of stability in its workforce. By statute,
Florida is a right-to-work state, and unionization remains relatively low. In
Florida, 9.6% of the workforce is unionized compared to 35.8% in New York and
19.9% in New Jersey. At the same time, union and non-union labor work
harmoniously together.

TRAINING
Jacksonville's private and public educational institutions provide a
variety of training opportunities that anticipate and meet the needs of the area's
residents and businesses. Degree programs ranging from associate to doctorate,
as well as non-degree programs, are offered at the seven colleges and
universities in the Jacksonville area. Together, these institutions generate more
than 7,500 graduates per year.
The University of North Florida's blossoming electrical engineering
program has produced over 50 graduates since its inception in 1988 and is
building enrollment rapidly. Many schools, such as Florida Community College
at Jacksonville, will custom-tailor special classes to meet the needs of any
employer. The AMTEC Research Center, the Florida Institute of Technology and
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University also contribute to Jacksonville's
abundance of highly trained specialists in aviation, avionics, aeronautical
engineering, repair and maintenance. In conjunction with state and federal
training programs, many local colleges provide qualified applicants for
companies who then carn job credits.
Additional public and private labor training programs can help
companies ensure a smooth start-up. These include the following:
Job Training and Partnership Act, a federally funded program offering a
series of employment and training benefits:
Assistance in hiring pre-screened, pre-trained employment candidates.
Customized training programs specific to company practices and
procedures.
On-the-job training with reimbursement for up to 50 percent of wages
incurred during the training period.
The Private Industry Council (PIC) of Jacksonville, a federally funded
employment and training program, offers help with training, interview-
ing and hiring of job candidates.
Florida Job Service can assist with advertising, interviewing and hiring.
The State of Florida Labor Training Program pays corporate instructors
and reimburses participating companies for the use of their facilities to
train employees. All screening, recruiting and training is performed to the
company's specifications.
Partnership for Workforce Preparation. Administered through the Jack-
sonville Chamber of Commerce, this innovative program is funded
through the United Way of Jacksonville and corporate sponsors. The
partnership acts as a clearinghouse to connect the area's vast training
resources with local individuals.

HISTORY OF JACKSONVILLE
The carliest of settlers in the region were the ancient Timuqua
Indians. The Timuquans were gradually displaced by a succession
of European settlers starting with the French Huguenots in 1562
when Jean Ribault landed at the mouth of the St. Johns River. Not
far from this point in 1564, Fort Caroline was established. Today
the site of this former riverside fort and colony is a national park.
In 1565, Fort Caroline was destroyed by Spanish forces under
the command of Pedro Menendez de Aviles, Following that
massacre, many Europeans and North Americans clashed for
control of the region.
On June 15, 1822, the town of Cowford was renamed and
the city of Jacksonville established as a result of a
residents' petition to Secretary of State John Quincy Adams
to make Jacksonville a port of entry. The city was named in honor of
Skyline of dountown Jacksonville
General Andrew Jackson. Duval County, created the same year, was
named after Florida's first governor, William P. Duval.

REPORTS
February, 1992
Dear Friend,
As Congress reconvenes, I wanted to keep you updated on some major issues. Obviously, the topic on
everyone's mind is the economy.
The President has endorsed an economic growth package that includes a capital gains tax cut -- for which
I have been a lonely crusader - among other things.
There's no doubt, Florida's economy needs a boost. I traveled around the state. during the recess and saw
signs of a sagging Florida economy.
But there are signs of hope. I recently visited two high technology companies in the state that are growing
and proving that the technology developed in Florida is among the best anywhere.
Harris Corporation, in Melbourne, has just won a $1.66 billion Federal Aviation Administration contract
over some top-name competitors to produce a critical voice communications network that will upgrade the
nation's air traffic control system.
Group Technologies Corporation, of Tampa, is another high-tech company on the move. At a time when
some firms are cutting back, it's creating jobs.
I found both companies to be vibrant examples of the American spirit of competition and innovation.
What's the key to long-term recovery? The American spirit of competition must be allowed to flourish and
not be stifled by over-regulation and over-taxation. America is in a worldwide competitive race that we
cannot afford to lose.
The recession, especially in Florida, is real-estate driven. That's why I told the nominee for CEO of the
Resolution Trust Corporation, Al Casey, that it's wrong for the RTC to unload real estate on the market at
below-market rates. This policy is devastating to real estate business in Florida.

To help make America more competitive, I have proposed to:
Reduce capital gains taxes. Capital gains taxes must be cut from 28% to 15% to renew
America's entrepreneurial spirit and free money to flow into venture capital to finance new
business.
America has been forced to unfairly compete with Germany and Japan which have no capital
gains taxes on long-term investments. If America is to win the global race, we must cut the capital
gains tax to encourage risk-takers to financially support entrepreneurs who will provide jobs.
Revise tax rule on real estate concerning losses. Tax policies have destroyed the value of
real estate.
Congress must eliminate a provision in current tax law which, in essence, forces owners of
rental property to pay taxes on losses that arise from managing the property. That discourages real
estate investment in rental properties which is a significant market in Florida.
End double taxation of dividends. When a public company distributes dividends to sharehold-
ers, it pays taxes on the dividend. When a shareholder receives the dividend, taxes are paid
again. Double taxation of anything is wrong. By removing the double tax on dividends, invest-
ment would be encouraged and the economy would receive a boost through increased capital
and new jobs.
Other critical policy changes include increasing the personal income tax exemption for families
and repeal of the luxury tax which has been a layoff tax for Florida boat makers.
A small group of Senators and I have formed a Task Force on Real Estate. Our intention is to
formulate changes in public policy that can be implemented quickly to stabilize real estate values.
We've also concentrated on over-regulations which have hurt the real estate economy.
...
Excessive regulations are hurting Florida farmers. I recently met with a group of Hillsborough
County farmers who were concerned about a sagging real estate market, government over-regula-
tions and trade agreements which place them at a disadvantage with other countries.
I opposed the Fast Track trade agreement with Mexico last year because it was not in the best
interests of Florida farmers. As negotiations get underway this year, I will work to make known the
interests of Florida farmers.
...
The fight for Florida's fair share continues. I plan to keep targeting government programs that
use old census data to get them to use updated population figures when calculating grants. Programs
include community funding, transportation, and Medicaid.

The fight is important. It places other Congressmen and Senators on notice that the Florida
delegation will not sit back and watch Washington return a small portion of our tax dollars.
There is good news on the judicial nominations front. Of the ten judicial vacancies we had at the
beginning of last year, six have been filled, and the remaining four are awaiting confirmation hear-
ings in the Senate Judiciary Commission.
As freedom sweeps the world at an incredible pace, we must not forget those still struggling in
Cuba. I'm confident my proposal to close the loophole in our trade embargo against Fidel Castro will
pass. The amendment - which initially passed the House and Senate -- is included in two separate
larger bills now in joint House-Senate conference committees. Castro must not be allowed to profit
from trade he then uses to continue his brutal repression.
The issue of freedom around the world has been used at home as rhetoric to propose deeper cuts
in defense spending. But as we commemorate the anniversary of Operation Desert Storm, we must
not forget Hussein's aggression. We won the war because we were prepared to win. The future threat
may not be from the Soviet Union, but there are enough Saddam Hussein wanna-bes in the world
that we must always be prepared to defend our economic and national security interests.
As you know, the cancer issue took on a new meaning for me last year. I have proposed tax
incentives to encourage cancer screening for all Americans.
But the issue really hit home when Priscilla tested positive for breast cancer and underwent a
mastectomy in October. She has joined me in spreading the message that early detection saves lives;
we're both living examples. She is doing great; her prognosis remains excellent. Your thoughts and
prayers were very much appreciated.
I am hopeful that as the health care debate intensifies my cancer bill can be a catalyst to further
explore the issue of preventive health care which can save lives and money. We've talked for years
about developing a preventive health care strategy in America, it's time we did something about it.
As always, your input on issues is important to me. Here is a list of my offices and some key
staff:

CONNIE MACK REPORTS
April is Cancer Control Month. Across the country, the American Cancer Society
(ACS) will be busy crusading to inform people how to protect themselves and
their families from cancer.
Prevention is the key to beating this tragic disease. That's why I've introduced bi-
partisan legislation to encourage all Americans, regardless of income, to undergo
cancer screening procedures. Currently, over 30 of my Senate colleagues support
the Cancer Screening Plan, along with professional, health and business
organizations.
The more people who are informed that early detection is key, the more lives can
be saved. The ACS estimates that nearly 100,000 lives could be saved this year
through early cancer screening procedures.
During Cancer Control Month it's a good time to remember that according to
ACS guidelines, women 40 years and over should undergo a mammogram every
one to two years until the age of 50 after which it should become annual.
Men 40 years and older should undergo an annual rectal exam for prostate
cancer. Women should be encouraged to perform monthly breast self exams and
men should be encouraged to do monthly testicular exams.
For more information about cancer screening programs in your area, please
NCER. contact the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4CA-
Recent news reports say the ACS has committed to shifting its focus from finding
a cure for cancer to prevention through dietary modifications. New research has
revealed that certain foods contain chemicals that protect people against cancer
while others promote cancer formation, said Walter Lawrence Jr., cancer society
president and professor of surgery at the Medical College of Virginia.

Recently, the ACS held its annual Science Writers Seminar at which Mr.
Lawrence spoke. There is evidence that diet plays a significant causal role in the
incidence of a number of common cancers including colon, breast and prostate
cancers. One estimate attributes one of three incidents of cancer in the U.S. is
linked to diet.
The ACS has launched two pilot projects to explore the relationship between diet
and cancer. The first study will determine if high-fiber diets will reduce the risk
of colon cancer. This year, 58,000 Americans will die of colorectal cancer.
The gecond study will determine if low-fat diets will reduce the risk of breast
cancer. Breast cancer has the highest incidence and second leading mortality of all
cancers among women in the United States causing an estimated 46,000 deaths in
1992.
Please write to me, Senator Connie Mack, with your views on cancer or any
other issue. Send your letters to 517 Hart Senate Office Building, Washington,

Dear letter editor:
I'm hopeful that your readers can learn from my experience
with cancer and possibly save their lives.
I had been diagnosed with breast cancer, requiring a
mastectomy. (Surgery is scheduled for October 3). The tumor was
discovered by self examination in August and confirmed by a
mammogram and biopsy.
A mammogram in November and a physical examination in June
did not have a hint of cancer. But I continued with monthly self
examinations and it saved my life. My prognosis, because of early
detection, is good and my survival rate is over 90 percent.
Cancer has touched our family, like many others. Connie had
a melanoma removed in 1989; our daughter has been successfully
treated for cervical cancer; my mother-in-law had breast cancer 12
years ago; and my brother-in-law died of melanoma in 1979.
Early detection is the key. That's why Connie introduced
legislation in the U.S. Senate to encourage all Americans to take
advantage of cancer detection procedures.
October has been designated National Breast Cancer Awareness
Month to alert women to the need for early detection. My message
to all women is simple: I know you're afraid, but you must
conduct your self breast examination each month.
For more information on self examinations and early cancer
detection, please contact the American Cancer Society, Florida
Division at 1-800-ACS-2345.
Early detection of cancer saved my life. It saved Connie's
life. And it could save other lives, too.

Washington, DC - April 30, 1992 -- Senator Connie Mack (R-FL) and
his wife, Priscilla Mack, received American Cancer Society Courage
Awards from President George Bush in a White House ceremony today.
Senator and Mrs. Mack were honored by President Bush and the
American Cancer Society for their personal courage in battling
cancer and for their continued commitment to cancer control.
Senator Mack had a malignant mole removed from his side in
1989. Mrs. Mack was diagnosed with breast cancer in September,
1991. She has since undergone a modified mastectomy and recently
completed six months of chemotherapy treatments.

1992 Courage Award/2 of 4
The Macks are well aware of the dangers of cancer and the
benefits of early detection and prompt treatment. They represent
a family that has experienced the disease firsthand. Senator
Mack's younger brother, Michael McGillicuddy, died of malignant
melanoma at age 35. His Mother is a breast cancer survivor. His
daughter was treated for cervical cancer in 1990.
Senator and Mrs. Mack are strong advocates of cancer education
and credit early detection for their successful cancer treatments.
In accepting the Courage Award, Senator Mack said, "Priscilla and
I are proud to join with the American Cancer Society to spread the
word that early detection saves lives. We are alive today because
our cancers were detected in early, treatable stages."
Stanley Shmishkiss, Chairman of the Board of the American
Cancer Society, attended the Oval Office ceremony and said,
"Senator and Mrs. Mack's personal valor in the face of this disease
has given hope and inspiration to the 1,130,000 Americans who will
hear a diagnosis of cancer this year. Because of the courage you
have shown in battling your cancers, the 212,000 Americans who are
fighting malignant melanoma or breast cancer have gained additional
inspiration." The ceremony was also attended by American Cancer
Society president, Walter Lawrence, M.D.
Mrs. Mack discovered a lump, which was later diagnosed as
malignant breast cancer, through her regular monthly breast self-
examination.

1992 Courage Award/3 of 4
In testimony before the House Subcommittee on Health and the
Environment hearing during the American Cancer Society's observance
of the 20th Anniversary of the National Cancer Act, just shortly
after her diagnosis, Mrs. Mack said, "My purpose in coming forward
with my own experience is the hope that other women will hear my
story, learn to properly perform breast self-examination, and,
hopefully, save their lives."
Senator and Mrs. Mack also pointed out that mammography has
emerged as a technology that allows breast cancer to be detected at
a very early stage, where it is curable.
Senator Mack is co-sponsor with Senator John Breaux (D-LA) of
legislation to make cancer screening procedures, like mammography,
more available to all Americans. The legislation would use tax
incentives for individuals and health care providers to encourage
American to take advantage of cancer screenings and examinations.
Dr. Walter Lawrence, President of the American Cancer Society, who
also attended the ceremony, said about the legislation, "In
establishing a tax credit for individuals and health care providers
to help offset the cost of improve access to such tests for
millions of Americans that could not otherwise afford them.' "
Senator Mack said, "All Americans must be encouraged to look
for cancer's early warning signals and undergo screening
procedures. Early cancer detection is the key to saving lives."

experts across Florida are doing to fight cancer, I urge you to
participate in this unique cancer information exchange. The event
is scheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EDT.
Here are a few important points about the act, which I
recently introduced with Senator John Breaux (D-LA).
-
It provides a tax incentive for all Americans to take
advantage of screening procedures available if the
procedures are not covered by insurance or other federal
programs.
It provides low income Americans with screening access
by giving medical providers, which agree to perform the
procedures, a tax credit at a rate to be determined by
the Health Care Financing Administration.
The Secretary of Health and Human Services, in
consultation with cancer research and prevention
organizations, shall develop guidelines to determine the
criteria (i.e. screening procedures covered, frequency
of screening procedures, etc.) by which taxpayers may
take advantage of this tax credit.
Please contact my office in Tampa at (813) 225-7683 and we'll
direct you to the nearest hospital participating in the
teleconference.
Sincerely,
Came Marle

CONNIE MACK REPORTS
By Senator Connie Mack
As part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October,
the American Cancer Society (ACS) and health-care professionals are
working together to provide low-cost mammogram examinations to
women in Florida to help detect breast cancer early.
Because one in nine women will develop breast cancer, early
detection is the key to saving the lives of many women across
Florida. Call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 for
information on how to schedule an exam near your home.
The ACS recommends that women 35 to 39 get & baseline
mammogram for later evaluation and a physical examination every
three years. At 40, women should have a physical examination and
mammogram every one to two years. At 50, annual physical
examinations and mammograms become essential.
In addition to clinical exams and mammograms, self breast
examinations should be an important part of every woman's
comprehensive program for early detection of breast cancer.
My wife Priscilla is living testimony that self examination is
just as important as regular mammograms and physical exams. During
a breast self examination in August, she detected a tumor that did
not show up in a November 1990 mammogram.
On October 3, a mastectomy was performed on Priscilla. Her
prognosis is excellent, again, because of early detection. Thanks
to all of you who kept her in your prayers.
To heighten awareness of breast cancer issues prior to
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I participated in an
interactive satellite video conference with nine Florida hospitals
on September 26. Joining in the discussion was Don Thomas,
executive vice president of the ACS - Florida Division; and Dr.
Joyce or 'Shaughnessy of the National Cancer Institute.
While I was pleased to learn women are increasingly taking
advantage of mammograms, more should schedule mammogram exams.
Please write to me, Senator Connie Mack, with your views on
cancer or any other issue. Send your letter to 517 Hart,
Washington, D.C. 20510. Thank you.

LOCAL EFFORTS IMPORTANT TO FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER
By United States Senator Connie Mack (R-FL)
Two local efforts in Florida are making a difference in the fight against
breast cancer.
In Jacksonville, WTLV-TV Channel 12, has developed an innovative new
program called "Buddy Check 12" to help increase the number of area women
who perform self-breast examinations as part of their comprehensive program to
detect breast cancer early.
Here's how it works. Jeanie Blalock, the station's health care reporter,
kicked-off "Buddy Check 12" by encouraging women to team-up with a buddy
a friend or family member -- to participate in the program as partners. On the
12th day of each month during the station's newscasts, Blalock encourages every
woman in the area to ask her buddy if she has performed her monthly self-breast
examination.
I've been told that about 6,000 women in Channel 12's viewing area have
requested information to help guide them through "Buddy Check 12."
Consult the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 for guidelines on
detecting breast cancer early.
The Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute on the campus of the
University of South Florida in Tampa is currently recruiting women to
participate in an important study that will help determine the correlation between
high upper-body weight and the risk of developing breast cancer.
The study, which is sponsored by the American Cancer Society, follows
previous studies which have shown that women with upper body fat are at higher
risk for breast and endometrial cancer.
Women between 25-75 who meet certain guidelines are eligible to
participate. For more information, contact Nagi Kumar, Ph.D., at (813) 979-
6711.
Please write to me, Senator Connie Mack, with your views on cancer -- or
any other issue. Address your letters to 517 Hart Senate Office Building,
Washington, D.C. 20510. Thank you.

The National Cancer Institute has undertaken a major clinical trial to study whether the drug tamoxifen
prevents breast cancer in women who are considered at high risk of developing the disease.
If the drug is shown to prevent breast cancer, it will be one of the greatest discoveries of our time.
Meanwhile, early detection procedures -- especially self- breast examinations and regular mammograms -
- are vital to saving lives.
Self-examinations and a mammography saved my wife Priscilla's life and it can save thousands of other
lives as well. Please contact your local cancer organization or physician to learn the proper techniques of
self-breast examination and cancer's early warning signs.
If you are interested in volunteering for the tamoxifen study, please call: 305-674-2868; 904-348-7073;
or 1-800-4-CANCER at the National Cancer Institute.
Over the past few weeks, cancer-fighting programs all around Florida have focused on the importance
of early cancer detection in saving lives.
In our travels around the state, we have truly found that early cancer detection saves lives. Early detection
saved my life, it saved my wife's life, it saved my daughter's life, it saved my mother's life, and it has saved
countless other lives as well.
That's why cancer prevention must be a top priority issue. The American Cancer Society estimates that
this year 100,000 lives could be saved through early cancer screening. I've introduced bi-partisan legislation
to encourage all Americans, regardless of income, to undergo cancer screening procedures which would save
thousands of lives yearly.
Priscilla has just completed six
months of chemotherapy after under-
going a mastectomy last October. She
found her breast tumor through a
monthly self- breast examination and
encourages women to examine their
breasts monthly, as recommended by
the American Cancer Society.
Recently, I hosted a statewide tele-
conference on the importance of can-
cer prevention. The conference in-
cluded the Florida Division of the
American Cancer Society (ACS), the
Florida Hospital Association (FHA),
the Florida Medical Association, two
cancer experts from the National Can-

CANCER UPDATE
Dear Friend,
Amon tomovifen
'07
******
The Food and Drug Administration recently announced that it's moving to step-up the process which
allows patients with AIDS and other HIV-related diseases to use pharmaceutical drugs outside the normal
FDA controlled clinical program. I've urged the FDA to include cancer in this program as well.
In 1979, when my brother was dying of cancer, my family was faced with the question: Does the
government have the right to tell a terminally-ill patient that a potentially life-saving experimental
pharmaceutical drug is off-limits? My family shared the grief caused by the lack of opportunity for my
brother to use experimental drugs that could have been life-saving.
All sense of perspective is lost when the government worries about side effects from experimental drugs
in patients who may die from their illnesses if they don't have the chance to use experimental drugs. That's
why I've introduced a resolution in the Senate which calls on the FDA to allow terminally-ill patients - --
following consultation and approval from their physicians -- to have access to experimental drugs awaiting
FDA approval without government interference.
Terminally-ill Americans are willing to assume risks with experimental drugs, especially when there
may be nothing to lose and possibly everything to gain. It's a decision best left to the patient, family and
physician, not the government.

Your thoughts are important to me. If you have any comments or concerns about cancer or any other
issue, please contact me, Senator Connie Mack, 517 Hart, Washington, DC, 20510.

son Memorial Hospital's Breast Health Center in Miami was used as a model. This "one-stop" breast center
is able to conduct mammograms and develop treatment plans the day of diagnosis.
During the teleconference, the American Cancer Society released a report showing that 66 percent of
Florida women 40 and over who have undergone mammograms did so on the advice of their physicians.
Of those women in the same age group who have never had a mammogram, 34 percent said their doctors
never recommended one.
Florida is ranked third nationally in the number of breast cancer cases diagnosed each year, behind only
New York and California. The ACS estimates that in 1992, over 11,000 Florida women will be diagnosed
with the disease.

LAST Sunday, Pat Boone sang on the top of Masada. He sang the words he
wrote to the theme from Exodus. The desert fortress, the song and the singer
will be the closing shots of a feature-length video cassette called Israel,
Blessed Israel designed to draw Christian tourism to Israel.
Masada isn't one of Christianity's holy places, which form the body of the
film, nor is the theme from Leon Uris's filmed novel one of the 15 gospel songs
Boone sings to punctuate his explanations of Jesus' life. He included both
because he loves this country.
He loves Israel because he sees in it the incarnation of biblical prophecy.
Boone is an evangelical Christian, and his faith is rooted in the Bible, whose
writings he believes as revealed Truth.
"Evangelical Christians strongly identify with historical Judaism and all
things truly Jewish because the Old Testament is part of our history. After
all, Jesus was Jewish, his disciples were Jewish, even the first believers were
Jewish," Boone explains. "They didn't even let Gentiles join until 10 years
after Jesus' death."
He goes on to cite chapter 10 in the Acts of the Apostles, in which Simon
Peter accepts a Roman centurion as a follower of Christ. A born storyteller,
Boone speaks as simply as though he were recounting an adventure that happened
to a neighbor or friend.
But Boone is no goody-goody. He smells of a fine shaving lotion, not
sanctimony. He's a successful singer with a good head for business, a friendly
man who lives with his faith as easily as he accepts a compliment from a bashful
tourist who recognizes him in the restaurant where we're sitting during a break
in the shooting.

who celebrates his 58th birthday next week. A lineal descendent of the

legendary hunter Daniel Boone, Pat was born in Jacksonville, Florida, and
raised in Nashville, the home of country music and Grand Old Opry. His was a
religious home and, as was the custom, he professed his faith and was baptized
at 13.
Boone - he's sold some 45 million albums since 1955 - became a pop superstar
in the mid-Fifties and had a squeaky-clean image even in the pre-James Dean age,
when fans expected their icons to be impossibly impeccable.
His recollections of those years are less rosy, though, because "there were
erosions, and accommodations to expediency, and I made compromise after
compromise with my faith in order to maintain my position.
"It nearly cost me my marriage," he says, "so my wife and I recommitted (to
Jesus Christ). I thought it would cost me my career, and that I really would
become a schoolteacher - which is what I trained for."
BUT HIS career got bigger than ever after the inevitable sniggers had died
away. In 1972 Boone, his wife Shirley and their four daughters came to Israel
for the first time to make a Christmas TV special, traveling to many of the
sites the present movie will cover.
In fact the family appeared together as an act for seven years, which was,
says Boone with a grin (and one suspects he's said this before), a good way of
keeping his daughters under the parental eye during their teenage years.
Debbie (You Light Up My Life) Boone is the best-known of his daughters. Less
known is the fact his eldest daughter, Cherry, studied and became fluent in
Hebrew, and then got straight As in Jewish studies at UCLA after the family's
first visit.
Boone has returned here a dozen times since then, and has made many Israeli
friends. His last few trips have been as the major attraction in a Holyland
tour package offered by the Christian Broadcasting Network. In fact, Boone has
worked so hard to attract tourism to Israel that the Tourism Ministry last year
named him its ambassador to the Christian community in the US.
Coming here, he says, takes Christianity out of one-dimensional belief into
three-dimensional reality, "like a picture on the wall becoming a color TV.
It's a life-changing experience, but beyond that it continues to forge that
commonality between Christians and Jews.
"Arabs ask me: 'Why don't you do something for us? You're always doing
something for the Jews, and I say that I am, (doing something) because I see a
stable, vital Israel as the last hope for peace in the Middle East." He reminds
his listeners that the Arabs sprang from Ishmael who was the son of Abraham, who
started everything off. To be pro-Israel, he insists, isn't necessarily to be
anti-Arab.
He sees antisemitism or anti-Jewishness as "a Satanic perversion. I think
that anything authentically Christian is also truly Jewish and people are
beginning to realize this."
Boone illustrates this with another story. "When we were first here, we went
to Bethlehem to the Church of the Nativity, which has become more and more

ornate over the centuries. It's like that with Christianity," he explains.
"For hundreds of years, encrustations like those we saw at Bethlehem have
obscured the simple truths of which the prophets spoke."
He sidesteps my question on the eventual conversion of the Jews to
Christianity by saying that even here, scholars are predicting the coming of the
Messiah, which Christians define as the Second Coming, and which Boone believes
will happen in his lifetime.
"It's no pose. He believes, he really does believe," says retired adman Joe
Seideman, whose idea the film was. He and his non-Jewish wife Mara have been
friends with the Boones ever since the singer was spokesman, many years ago, for
a product Seideman's ad agency was promoting. "His gospel programs are carried
over 160 radio stations and I knew he was bringing planeloads of tourists over
here for CBN, so I suggested we combine the two in a film."
Faith, the genuine variety, is threatening only to those who don't have
enough of their own. Boone is no missionary, though. He sees himself "as a
bridge-builder, bringing people together who have more in common than they
know."

The reason I am informed on this matter is that Annette Jones Steward of

"Ever since hearing James Weldon Johnson's poem/sermon 'The Creation,'
delivered so eloquently by Eddie Albert on television in the 1960s or 1970s, I

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: JACKSONVILLE RALLY
JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA
AUGUST 3, 1992
12:30 P.M.
Senator Mack, thank you. What a fantastic job you are doing
for this great state.
Congressmen Cliff Stearns and Craig James, Minority Leader
Crenshaw, State Treasurer Gallagher, Councilwoman Fowler -- thank
you all.
And Mayor Austin, thank you for your hospitality here today.
Thanks even more for your support -- and for your open-
mindedness toward the "other side." Though I have to warn you,
Mayor, there may be a few moments during the next few minutes
that you may want to cover your ears for what I'm about to say.
And thank you to the Fletcher High Marching Band. Great
job. And Amerikids, thank you all.
It's great to be back in the Sunshine State. When I think
of Jacksonville, I think of all the greatness this city has
produced -- Pat Boone, Rita Coolidge, James Weldon Johnson.
Great Americans all.
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
[
Yesterday, I was in Elk Grove, Illinois today, in Dalton,
2
Georgia -- talking about something I've thought about many times
since I met with Boris Yelstin at the White House: The world we
live in is a 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.
//
Together, you have stood with me through some of this
nation's most challenging moments -- I think back to our bid to
ensure that the vital Panama Canal was not controlled by a drug-
running dictator. With your support, we chased Mr. Noriega and
we ran him to ground. Today, Panama is free and Mr. Noriega --
he's anything but.
Let me say this: We still have a little bit of unfinished
business south of this great state. Let me make this prediction:
The days of a certain gray-bearded tyrant -- you know who I'm
talking about -- are numbered. In my next term, I look forward
to being the first American President to set foot on the beaches
of a free and democratic Cuba.
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. //
3
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
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
4
children's child care. 11 When the other side says, "government
knows best" -- I say: Parents know better. Parents know better
than some bureaucrat in Washington, D.C. //
But 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
off the income tax you owe -- as a break for young families
struggling to scrimp and save and buy that first home.
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.
5
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. //
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 welcome -- and may God bless this
great nation, the United States of America.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS FOR JACKSONVILLE RALLY
Monday August 3, 1992
Jacksonville, Florida, 12:30pm
Senator Mack, thank you. What a fantastic job you are doing
for this great state.
Congressmen Cliff Stearns and Craig James, Minority Leader
Crenshaw, State Treasurer Gallagher, Councilwoman Fowler -- thank
you all.
And Mayor Austin, thank you for your hospitality here today.
Thanks even more for your support -- and for your open-
mindedness toward the "other side." Though I have to warn you,
Mayor, there may be a few moments during the next few minutes
that you may want to cover your ears for what I'm about to say.
And thank you to the Fletcher High Marching Band. Great job.
And Amerikids, thank you all.
It's great to be back in the Sunshine State. When I think of
Jacksonville, I think of all the greatness this city has produced
-- Pat Boone, Rita Coolidge, James Weldon Johnson. Great
Americans all.
And then there's the great southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd
-- another super product of your home town. Maybe they're a
little out of my generation, but I always wondered why they sang
"Sweet Home Alabama" -- not "Sweet Home Jacksonville?"
2
Yesterday, I was in Elk Grove, Illinois -- today, in Dalton,
Georgia -- talking about what's at stake in this election --
talking to them about trust.
But while I've been talking about trust, my opponent has
been bashing away -- telling us what's wrong with America. You
know, there's a little joke going around that the Democrats have
a new diet. It's a sure fire way to stay thin: You only get to
eat dessert when the Democrats say something positive about
America.
I've never believed in that approach to politics. Ever since
I've been active in public life, I've been guided by this ideal:
trust the people. And, as I've followed this ideal, I've never
been disappointed. The beauty of America the greatness of our
land
always has been the ingenuity of Americans -- and your
achievements right here in Jacksonville are a testament to that
ingenuity.
Let me cut to the heart of the matter about the important
choice we face this November 3rd. You know, we've really got two
options. I believe that a government worthy of the people's trust
must trust the people.
This is why I'm leading the charge to allow parents to send
their children to the school of their choice -- public, private,
or religious.
This is why I'm fighting to give parents greater leeway on
where they send their kids for childcare.
3
And this is why I'm fighting for tax relief for first-time
home buyers, why I believe we've got to get government off the
back of the people and out of their wallets.
You know about the other option. It's what my opponent and
their friends in Congress have to offer. Deep down, they believe
that the American people really can't be trusted, that -- if we
want to solve problems -- we've got to put our trust not in
people and families, but in government and big bureaucracy.
Forgive me if I say that I have more faith in you to do the right
thing.
I'm sure I don't have to tell you: The other side is working
overtime to repackage their old liberal ideas. A new wrapping. A
nice bow. Lots of smiles and cameras and slick campaign themes.
But what these guys really have to offer you is castor oil -- and
it really doesn't matter how pretty the glass is. That's their
vision for America. No faith in people. More government. More
taxes. They believe in managing failure; we believe in creating
success.
And, Jacksonville, let me fill you in on a little secret:
Over the next 90 days, I'm going to take my message to the
American people. I'm going to fight hard for what's right, the
values that you and I share -- support for God and family, a pro-
growth economic agenda -- getting the government off our backs,
making our streets safe at home, and keeping America strong
abroad.
4
These are the things that made America great, and these are
the things that we will not surrender. And here is where I need
your help: We cannot let them tear down our accomplishments and
preach their negative politics. We can't let them run down our
great country and tie us down with their regulations.
Often times, at big political rallies like this, candidates
come before the people and they ask for favors. And I guess I'm
no exception. Let me be clear: I need your vote this November.
But I also want to take a moment to offer you some thanks -
- thanks for your support as we have rebuilt America and reshaped
our world.
FINDF
Together, you have stood with me through some of this
nation's most challenging moments -- I think back to our bid to
PLACE
ensure that the vital Panama Canal was not controlled by a drug-
running dictator. With your support, we chased Mr. Noriega and we
ran him to ground. Today, Panama is free and Mr. Noriega -- he's
anything but.
Then, you stood with me against Soviet tyranny. Together,
Ronald Reagan and I promised you in 1981 that we would revive
this nation's defenses and support those brave men and women
fighting for freedom around the world. You supported me, and
today imperial communism is dead.
And when Saddam Hussein sought to expand his power in the
Persian Gulf, and threatened American interests, you stood with
me. He invaded Kuwait, and he was prepared to continue his march.
It was a grave hour for America. But, with your support, we faced
5
down Saddam. Maybe you remember my words: this will not stand.
And then, with the help of our brave fighting forces -- including
a lot from right here in Jacksonville -- we drove Saddam right
out of Kuwait. You supported me, you supported our troops, and
America prevailed.
Let me say this: We still have a little bit of unfinished
business south of this great state. Let me make this prediction:
The days of a certain gray-bearded tyrant -- you know who I'm
talking about -- are numbered. In my next term, I look forward to
being the first American President to set foot on the beaches of
a free and democratic Cuba.
When it comes to America's security in the world, let's not
close our eyes to history. If history tells us anything, it tells
us this: The next four years will likely bring us new threats;
some may be severe. Thanks to American persistence, the Soviet
bear is extinct. But many wolves remain. I will do all in my
power to keep America safe and the wolves at bay.
As you look at the changes we have achieved together, you
need to be a little skeptical about a candidate who now --
looking around for a rallying call -- says 'Hey, how about some
change?' Well, let me remind them: we are the change, and -- over
the past four years -- we have proven our ability to achieve what
many thought was the impossible. Today, as we join together here
in Jacksonville, our nation is more secure, our children are
safer -- and the world knows one thing for sure: Let the critics
say what they will, America is the world's leader.
6
Now, we're going to do it again -- on the domestic front.
Today, I want to ask you for your support for our domestic
crusade. But this election is not just about change, because
change has a flip side. And that flip side is called trust. And
so I stake my claim in a simple philosophy: To lead a great
nation you must first trust the people you lead.
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.
We also need to push for other key reforms -- changes that
will restore trust to government:
We need discipline in our federal spending. I ask you, join
me in my call for a line-item veto and a balanced budget
agreement.
We need the faith of our founders back in our schools: I ask
you, join me in my call for voluntary prayer in our nation's
classrooms.
We need safer streets: I ask you, join me in my call for
stronger prison sentences for the crack dealers and the death
penalty for drug kingpins that prey on our kids.

And above all, we need to reform the Congress: I ask you:
join me in my call for term limitations for members of Congress.
Ladies and gentlemen, there has been much we have done
together. We have made a good beginning. Without your support,
I'm sure we could not have done what we have done. Thank you so
very much.
We have still more to do. And we will meet these challenges,
you and I. Let the other guys run this country down -- tell us
what's wrong with America. We'll focus on what's right about
America -- and we will continue working to build a government
that doesn't dictate to its people, but trusts them.
Thank you. God bless you all. And God bless America.
