about
Today the President announced his Worker Adjustment
Initiative -- a comprehensive $2 billion annual program to
nearly
assist permanently displaced adult workers. This innovative
new program will feature "Skill Grants" -- vouchers of up to
tripling
$3,000 that would be used by dislocated workers to acquire new
skills or upgrade current skills. The President's program
would also provide counselling, job search assistance and
choice
income support to help dislocated workers in securing new,

Over the past decade, the pace of global economic change
has accelerated. The United States is now part of a dynamic and
expanding global economy. The expansion of international
trans
markets, and the President's recently announced North American
Free Trade Agreement, create tremendous new opportunities for
American firms, but also challenges U.S. industries to meet the
for
demands of increased international competition.

Even at home, the pace of technological change has
accelerated. Computers and innovations in production

technology have sharply increased manufacturing productivity.
Technological advances are rendering certain old-line
industries obsolete.
Finally, the end of the Cold War is providing the U.S. a
historic opportunity to reevaluate and revise its national
security requirements. This process is resulting in a
responsible downsizing of the military. Consequently, U.S.
defense-related industries will downsize as well.
These changes are positive. They create new
opportunities and reflect the cycle of renewal and change in
our economy. But, these changes also involve economic
challenges. Dislocated workers must have the necessary tools -
- training and skills -- that will allow them to adjust and
adapt in a dynamic economy, to make the transition to new
industries and occupations, and to compete successfully in the
global marketplace.

The President's Proposal
In January, the President announced his Job Training 2000
initiative -- a comprehensive, streamlined Federal job training
system designed to meet the Nation's work force needs into the
next century.
Building upon this concept, the President proposes
replacing the current dislocated worker adjustment programs
under Employment and Training Assistance for Dislocated Workers
(EDWAA) and the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) with a new
$2.0 billion comprehensive retraining and transition assistance
program for permanently dislocated workers, including those who
may lose their job as a result of the North American Free Trade
Agreement. The President's proposal would expand funding by
nearly two and one-half times the financing available under the
current EDWAA and TAA adjustment programs.
The President's proposal would serve:
workers who have been permanently displaced,
workers who have been notified their jobs are being
terminated, and
workers employed in industries experiencing
significant work force adjustments.
Shill
Dislocated workers would be eligible to receive three
types of assistance:
Grant.
Transition assistance for workers who need help in
finding and securing new employment;
Training assistance, in the form of Skill Grants
vouchers, for workers who need retraining and skills
development;
Transition income support, if necessary, for workers
completing retraining.

Basic Transition Assistance
The President's proposal provides for a rapid response to
worker dislocation to help soothe the transition process.
States would receive financial assistance to help
them respond rapidly to dislocation to eliminate gaps
in employment where possible;
Dislocated workers would receive skills assessment,
counseling, help in resume preparation and
interviewing skills, job search assistance and job
referral services.
Skill Grants for Training
In addition to receiving assistance in finding new jobs,
many workers may want to develop additional skills or upgrade
their current skills. The President's proposal would provide
dislocated workers with:
A Skill Grant in the form of a voucher.
The maximum award would be $3,000 per year.
Workers could be eligible for the grants for up
to two years.
The grant could be used for attending a
community college or trade/technical school.
Awards would be made by the Governor or the
Tanset
Secretary of Labor
Two-thirds of total funding ($1.3 billion) would be
allocated to the states. The remaining one-third
1/3
($660 million) would be retained by the Secretary of
Labor for discretionary allocation to workers in high
priority areas or industries (e.g., NAFTA-related
dislocations).
Funding priority for individuals applying for the
Skill Grants would be:
1) currently dislocated workers;
2) soon-to-be dislocated workers;
3) workers employed in industries experiencing
significant work force adjustments; and

Eligibility requirements could be modified to target
specific groups (e.g., Clean Air Act compliance,

Transition Income Maintenance
A limited amount of income maintenance would be provided
to target groups of workers in high dislocation areas who have
exhausted their regular unemployment insurance (UI) benefits,
to enable them to complete their training program.
Workers could receive income support, similar to UI
benefits, for up six months while completing their
training program.

Youth Skills Initiative
6 mos.
FACT SHEET
you.
6-50.
Today, the President announced his Youth Skills Initiative
a bold new strategy to prepare our Nation's non-college-
bound youth for success in the rapidly changing workplace. The
President's innovative job training and education programs will
help provide these youth with greater opportunity, a higher
standard of living, and provide America with a world class work
force.
Expanion
The Problem
joblorp of
Increased international competition, the introduction into
the workplace of complex technologies, and a dynamic labor
market demands a well-trained and highly-skilled work force.
One of our greatest challenges in creating such a work force -
- for both the next decade and the next century -- is to
facilitate the transition from school to work of non-college-
bound youth.
Experience shows that of the current 5.4 million American
students enrolled in the 11th and 12th grades, 2.16 million or
40 percent will not immediately go to college. Another 1.75
million or 32 percent who did attend post-secondary education
will fail to complete their first year. Further, close to one-
fifth of American students drop out of high school each year -
- in 1990 there were approximately 1 million high school drop
outs, aged 18 to 19.
In sum, these approximately 5.0 million young Americans
represent the population in need of vocational training and
workplace skills. Without the appropriate training and skills,
they will find it increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to
compete in the global marketplace.
The President's Proposal
The President believes that we must have a well-trained
and highly-skilled work force. The President also believes
that we must provide our Nation's youth, especially the
economically and socially disadvantaged, with the opportunity
2
to acquire the training and skills that will serve them a
lifetime.
In January, the President announced his Job Training 2000
initiative -- a comprehensive, streamlined Federal job training
system designed to develop a globally competitive work force.
Building upon this program, the President has proposed a
comprehensive plan to assist non-college-bound youth.
The President's Youth Skills plan consists of three major
elements:
Youth Training Corps (YTC). A residential and non-
residential training program for economically and
socially disadvantaged youth;
Treat and Train. A comprehensive youth drug
treatment program as an initial component of the
Youth Training Corps for youth needing drug
rehabilitation; and
National Youth Apprenticeship Program. A
comprehensive school-to-work transition program for
those remaining in school.
Jr. Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). [need
insert]
Youth Training Corps (YTC)
The Youth Training Corps initiative would build on the
current Job Corps model to create a comprehensive job training
program for severely disadvantaged youth. These youth will
receive vocational training and learn basic workplace skills
while performing community service and conservation work [in
rural areas and on public lands].
The Youth Training Corps would combine the Job Corps'
30 existing Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) centers
with 25 new YTC centers to create a total of 55 YTC
centers nationwide.
The new YTC would be located at residential centers
located primarily [outside urban areas]. The YTC
centers could utilize converted Department of Defense
facilities.
Hiring [priority] for YTC staff would be given to
individuals leaving military service. This would
allow the YTC to take advantage of the military's
3
high level of leadership and training expertise.
The President's proposal would add 23,000 new
training slots to the current 42,000 Job Corps slots.
10,000 of the new training slots would be
residential, located at the 25 new YTC centers.
13,000 of the new training slots would be non-
residential, located at existing Job Corps
centers.
The President's proposals would serve an additional
43,000 disadvantaged youths (ages 16 to 21) annually.
This would bring the total number of youths served by
both the YTC and Job Corps to 113,000.
XX,000 additional youths would be served at the
25 new YTC centers.
XX,000 additional youths would be served at
existing the Job Corps Centers.
Participants would spend an average of 7 months as a
resident at the Youth Training Corps center.
The YTC would utilize the Job Corps model, relying on
a combination of remedial education, technical
training, life-skills training, counseling and other
support services.
The YTC experience would differ from most Job Corps
programs in that participants would be provided an
additional applied learning experience.
Participants would work in such areas as
improving parks, recreation, or community
facilities, and public/low-income housing
facilities.
The YTC would have an initial, start-up cost of $200
million (FY 1994 and FY 1995), expanding to $385
million per year when fully in place [OMB questions -
- DOL must clarify and add details].
Treat and Train Program
This initiative would incorporate a comprehensive youth
drug treatment program which would complement the Youth
Training Corps.
4
The President's proposal would fund 10,000 new drug
treatment slots (residential and outpatient) at
intensive drug rehabilitation centers.
These additional slots will increase the total
number of Federally funded by between 5 and 10
percent increase.
Two-thirds of the new slots would be
residential.
One-third of the new slots would out-patient.
The President's proposal would serve an additional
28,000 youths annually, increasing the number served
annually by Federally funded treatment by roughly 30
percent.
Participants stay in the residential centers an
average 9 months.
Successful completion of the program would provide
participants a priority status for admission to the
Youth Training Corps (YTC) [and] Job Corps Programs.
The program would cost $150 million per year
beginning in FY 1994.
National Youth Apprenticeship Program
NOT B/G
This initiative would expand funding for the President's
National Youth Apprenticeship Act of 1992, which was announced
in January as a component of the Job Training 2000 initiative
and transmitted to the Congress in May.
This plan is a comprehensive, voluntary program for
high school juniors and seniors that combines
classroom instruction with a structured, paid work
experience program.
The Department of Labor would provide community
organization funding, planning and curriculum design
using the current six-state demonstration program as
a model.
Students who successfully complete the program would
receive a high school diploma and a widely-recognized
certificate of skill competency. Opportunities would
exist to continue training at the post-secondary
5
level.
The Targeted Jobs Tax Credit would be available to
cover that portion of the participating population
that meets current TJTC economically disadvantaged
eligibility criteria.
The National Youth Apprenticeship program would cost
$100 million per year beginning in FY 1994. The TJTC
expansion would cost $10 million in FY 1994 and $160
million over 5 years.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: LINCOLN TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
UNION, NEW JERSEY
AUGUST 24, 1992
10:00 A.M.
Thank you, Secretary Martin for those kind words. Former
Governor Tom Kean. Rep. Matty Renaldo -- it's good to be in your
hometown. Pat Santangelo thank you for the tour. Students and
faculty.
Let me tell you why I've come to Lincoln Tech this morning
to cut into your coffee break. I'm here today because of what
will take place 71 days from now -- because of a decision you'll
be making November 3rd, that will set the course of this nation.
The defining challenge of the 1990's is to win the economic
competition -- win the peace.
America must be a military superpower, an economic
superpower, and an export superpower.
In this election -- you'll hear two visions of how to do
this. Theirs is to look inward, and protect what we already
have. Ours is to look forward -- to open new markets, create
incentives, restore our social fabric -- and prepare our people
to compete -- so that we can win.
This morning, I want to talk about the last of those
challenges -- new ways to prepare our American workers to
compete.
We know the world economy is changing -- and America must
change with it. As President, I've worked to create new markets
2
from Mexico City to Moscow -- that mean new American jobs from
Union, New Jersey to Ukiah, California. Right now, 1 in every 6
American manufacturing jobs is tied directly to exports -- and
that doesn't count the economic ripple effect created when those
workers pay the mortgage, buy a car or feed their kids. Since
1988, three-fifths of all our economic growth has come from
people in other countries buying what's Made in America.
Jobs in these new export industries demand workers with
higher skills than the jobs of the old economy. And workers must
realize what you know here at Lincoln. During the course of a
career -- you may develop as many as five or six skills or
proficiencies -- putting a premium on flexibility and life-long
learning.
These principles are reflected in a new commitment to job
training I am unveiling today -- a program that is bold,
innovative and loyal only to the future -- and the needs of the
American worker.
Earlier this year, I announced Job Training 2000 -- a
comprehensive program to streamline the crazy quilt of over 100
different federal jobs programs. Now that we've designed an
effective structure for delivering job training, I want to expand
our efforts.
We will do it by almost tripling the funds we devote to
training workers who've lost their jobs. If our nation is to
succeed in the world economy; we can't afford to waste the
talents of any worker. That means we need better training for
3
young people first joining the workforce -- better re-training
for workers changing careers -- and better training and
assistance for workers who lose their jobs. //
Start with a new initiative I call Youth Training Corps.
This program is aimed at young people, primarily in our inner
cities. Kids with talent, kids with ambition -- but with no
outlets for their abilities other than a life of drugs and crime.
Right now, we have a great program -- called the
Conservation Centers -- which takes these kids to job training
centers, often in rural areas, and puts them to work -- for
example, helping rebuild parks or recreation and community
facilities. At the same time, these kids learn a skill, find out
how to manage their finances, and get counseling about how to
break away from the temptations of the mean streets they once
hung out on.
Centers
We're going to build on the Civilian Conservation Corps --
and add 25 new centers, with positions for 43,000 new trainees.
To staff these centers, we will give hiring priority to
former members of our Armed Forces -- people with the proven
leadership skills, the drive and discipline that breed success.
And we need to expand our existing efforts to teach high
school kids about their opportunities in life, provide them
strong role models and encourage a sense of personal
responsibility and discipline. So, I am also to day doubling the
size of our Jr. ROTC program. The program is in almost 1,500
million
4
schools today -- I'll expand it to 2,900 schools. With $50,000
a
year in new funding another 150,000 kids will get the benefit of
what has been a great program that boosts high school completion
rates, reduces drug use, raises self-esteem and gets these kids
firmly on the right track.
I will also urge the Congress to expand my Youth
Apprenticeship Program. This program is aimed at high school
juniors and seniors who may be in danger of dropping out. The
program combines classroom instruction with structured work
programs. When students finish, they not only have a diploma,
they have a certificate saying they have developed a skill -- and
can get a job. Right now, this program is working as a
demonstration project in 6 states -- it ought to be expand'to all
50 states.
We'll also do more for troubled kids and we'll connect our
efforts to connect our efforts to get young people off drugs with
the skills that help them get a clean start. To this end, I am
going to expand drug treatment to reach an additional 28,000 kids
a year -- and we're going to tie it to 9 successful drug treatment
to job training. I call it Treat and Train -- and it will
guarantee these kids a place in our job training program the
moment they finish rehabilitation.
Helping young people is part of the picture. But if we want
to compete, we've got to help older workers obtain new skills.
These are people caught in the transition of our economy
eager
5
to earn new skills -- so they can get new jobs, and protect their
standard of living.
That's why I am announcing today a dramatic new departure in
job training for Americans in the middle of their career. S We
will scrap the present system, tripling current funding, and
putting the focus on greater flexibility for the worker.
The key concept here is something I call Skill Grants.
These are vouchers -- worth up to $3,000 dollars per person --
that can be used toward the training program of their choice.
And these vouchers can go not simply to the unemployed -- but to
those who worry the next pink slip may be their own: to help
defense workers retool, to help workers in declining industries
sharpen the skills they'll need to stay one step ahead.
What Pell Grants have done to open up opportunities for our
younger kids, Skill Grants will do for experienced workers in
need of new skills. And the program will focus on the needs of
what we call "dislocated workers" -- people in industries that
are changing because of global competition.
Twleve days ago, I announced the NAFTA -- the North American
Free Trade Agreement, to open new economic opportunities for
American products from the Yukon to the Yucatan. In the 1990s,
NAFTA will create millions of new American jobs -- but near-
term, it may also mean dislocations in some industries.
I've assured the Congress I'd work with them to ease the
transition to NAFTA -- and today's plan will meet that
commitment.
6
My plan sets aside up to $670 million per year for the
Secretary of Labor to pump into areas that might be negatively
effected by NAFTA. This funding is more than enough to ensure
that any and every affected worker gets training. More
important, it will help them get the kind of training they want -
- not simply shoehorn them into training programs that just
happen to have openings.
That's our approach to job training: It rests on the
proposition that we should empower people with skills -- instead
)
of empowering bureaucracies with people.
11
My opponent agrees with this -- in principle. But when you
get to the details, you see a vast difference between our two
philosophies. I believe we can pay for this new job training
offensive without raising taxes or increasing overall government
spending -- by making the tough calls and setting budget
priorities. My entire proposal will be funded within the budget
caps on spending.
My opponent is different -- he sees job training as just
another excuse to raise taxes. 11 He wants to tax workers to
pay for their own training. He wants to tax small businesses
around the country 1.5 percent -- that's 1.5 percent that will
come out of every worker's paycheck, and it's on top of new
income and other payroll taxes he's proposing.
Think of what this will do to small business, which has
created over two-thirds of the new jobs in the past decade. Let
7
me say this to Governor Clinton -- there is no point in training
people for jobs -- if your plan is going to destroy them.
There is another difference between our two approaches. My
opponent says he'll do more to help defense workers coping with
post-Cold War economic realities. What he won't tell you is he
plans $60 billion dollars in added defense cuts beyond what the
experts say is responsible -- reckless cuts that will damage our
national defense and throw one million more defense-industry
employees out of work and onto the unemployment rolls.
Then, once these workers have lost their jobs -- high-paid,
high-tech jobs -- the other side will step in with government
"make-work program.
Someone ought to ask these workers what
they'd rather have: Their high-tech jobs and good job training
for another high-tech industry or short-term government "make
work" jobs. 11
Don't kid yourself. My opponents prescription of higher
spending and higher taxes will not do any favors for the American
worker. According to one Congressional analysis, it could cost
America almost 3 2.6 million - SRT jobs in the short-term.
)
My opponents whole approach reminds me of the guy with a
head cold -- and the doctor who wants to amputate his leg. To
the patient, it sounds a bit radical. To the doctor, it's
logical: "If your cold settles in your lungs -- you'll get
pneumonia. If you get pneumonia, your circulation will go. If
your circulation goes, you'll get gangrene." 11 "So, just to be
safe: better take off the leg." //))
8
We need a new approach -- one that doesn't cripple the
economy and then offer workers a crutch. One that helps people
keep the jobs they have
T...
and creates the new jobs they
demand. One that helps America retool for the challenges of a
new century -- for the challenge of your lifetimes. 11
I believe I have put forward that approach -- and I will
fight for it in this campaign -- and with a new Congress.
Thank you all for allowing me to come here to talk about
this subject this morning -- and may God bless this great nation,
the United States of America.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
(Union, New Jersey)
For Immediate Release
August 24, 1992
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
TO STUDENTS AND FACULTY
Lincoln Technical Institute
Union, New Jersey
10:05 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. secretary
Martin -- let me just salute our great Secretary of Labor and
thank her very much for her introduction. Salute the former
Governor of this state, Tom Kean. The working man and woman
never had a better friend than Tom Kean. Mattie Rinaldo -- he
and I go back a long time. He's the Congressman from this area,
doing a superb job. If we had more like him we wouldn't have a
gridlocked Congress. (Applause.)
And I want to thank Pat Santangelo for the tour, and
also Senator Don DiFrancesco and all the students and faculty
here. This has been an inspiring visit. (Applause.)
NOW, let me tell you why I've come to Lincoln Tech.
I'm here today because of what will take place 71 days from now
because of the decision you're going to be making on November
3rd. And that's going to set the course of this nation. The
defining challenge of the 1990s is to win the economic
competition and to win the peace.
And America's got to be, and is, a military
superpower -- an economic superpower, though, and an export
superpower. NOW, in this election you're going to hear two very
different versions of how'we go about this. And theirs is to
look inward and protect what we've got, and ours is to look
forward to open new markets, to create incentives, to restore our
social fabric, and to prepare our people to compete so that we
can win. And that's what this is all about here today.
(Applause.)
I want to talk about the last of those challenges,
the new ways to prepare our American workers to compete. We know
the world economy is changing. And America must change with it.
And as President, we worked to create new jobs, open new markets
all the way from MOSCOW to Mexico. And that means new American
jobs from Union, New Jersey, all the way out to California.
And right now one in every six Americans'
manufacturing job is tied directly to exports. And that doesn't
count the economic ripple effect created when those workers pay
the mortgage, buy a car, or feed the kids. And since 1988,
three-fifths of all of our economic growth has come from people
in other countries buying what's made in the United States of
America -- the good products made right here in New Jersey.
(Applause.)
Now, the jobs in these new export industries demand
workers with higher skills than the old economy. And workers
must realize what you know here at Lincoln, during the course of
a career you may develop as many as five or six skills or
proficiencies, putting a premium on flexibility, long-life
learning. Now, these principles are reflected in a new
commitment to job training. This is a new national commitment to
MORE
- 2 -
job training that I'm unveiling today -- a program that is bold;
it is innovative; and it 15 loyal only to the future and to the
needs of the American workers.
NOW, earlier this year we introduced a program
called Job Training 2000, a comprehensive program to streamline
this crazy quilt of over 100 different federal jobs programs.
NOW that we've designed that effective structure for delivering
job training, I want to expand on our efforts. And if our nation
is to succeed in this world economy, we cannot afford to waste
the talent of one single worker. And that means we need better
training for young people first coming into the work force,
better retraining for workers that are changing careers and
better training and assistance for workers who lose their jobs.
You start with this new initiative: We call it the
Youth Training Corps. The program is aimed at young people
primarily in our inner cities -- kids with talent, kids with
ambition, but with no outlets for their abilities other than a
life of drugs and crime. Right now we have a great program
called the Conservation Centers, which takes these kids to job
training centers, often in rural areas, puts them to work, for
example, helping rebuild the parks or recreation and community
facilities. But at the same time these kids learn a skill, find
out how to manage their finances and get counseling about how to
break away from the temptations of the mean streets that they
once hung out on.
Now, we're going to build on those conservation
centers, add 25 new centers with positions for 43,000 new
trainees. And to staff these centers we will give hiring
priority to former members of our Armed Forces, people with the
proven leadership skills -- (applause) -- these people they've
demonstrated that they can lead, proven leadership skills, the
drive and the discipline that breeds success.
Now, we need to expand our existing efforts to teach
high school kids about their opportunities in life; provide them
strong role models and encourage a sense of personal
responsibility and discipline. And so also today I am also
doubling the size of our Junior ROTC program. It is in almost
1,500 schools today; we're going to expand it to 29,000 schools.
(Applause.)
And with $50 million a year in new funding, another
150,000 kids will get the benefit of what has been a great
program that boosts high school competition, high school
completion rates, reduces drug use, raises self-esteem and gets
these kids firmly on the right track.
Now, I will also urge the Congress to expand my
Youth Apprenticeship Program. This one's aimed at high school
juniors and seniors who may be in danger of dropping out. And
the program combines classroom instruction with structured work
programs. And when students finish they not only have a diploma,
they have a certificate saying they've developed a skill and can
get a job.
And right now this program is working as a
demonstration project in six states. It ought to be expanded --
if I have my way it will be expanded to all 50 states.
(Applause.) Another part of this -- we'll also do more for
troubled kids and we'll connect our efforts to get the young
people off of drugs with the skills that help them get a clean
start. (Applause.)
We are going to expand drug treatment to reach an
additional 28,000 kids a year. We're going to tie successful
drug treatment to job training. And I call it Treat and Train
and it will guarantee these kids a place in our job training
program the moment they finish rehabilitation. (Applause.)
MORE

so helping young people is a part of the picture.
But if we want to compete we've got to help older workers obtain
new skills. These are people caught in the transition of our
economy, eager to earn new skills so they can get new jobs and
protect their standard of living. And that's why I'm announcing
today a dramatic new departure in job training for Americans in
the middle of their careers.
The key concept here is something I call skill
grants. These are vouchers worth up to $3,000 per person that
can be used toward training programs of their choice. And these
vouchers can go not simply to those that are unemployed, but to
those who worry the next pink slip may be coming their way; to
help defense workers retool; to help workers in declining
industries, sharpen the skills that they'll need to stay one step
ahead.
What Pell Grants have done to open up opportunities
for our younger kids skill Grants will do for experienced workers
in need of new skills. (Applause.) And the program will focus
on the needs of what we call dislocated workers -- people in
industries that are changing because of global competition.
Twelve days ago I announced the North American Free
Trade Agreement to open new economic opportunities for American
products from the Yukon to Yucatan. And in the 1990s that
agreement will create millions of new American jobs, but near-
term, may also mean dislocations in some industries. And thus,
I've assured the Congress that I'd work with them to ease the
transition for the workers in the NAFTA, and today's plan will
meet that commitment.
My plan sets up -- aside up to I think it's $670
million per year for the Secretary of Labor to pump into areas
that might be negatively affected by NAFTA. And this funding is
more than enough to assure that any and every affected worker
gets the kind of training he or she needs. (Applause.) And more
important, they'll have a choice -- get them into programs that
they want to be in, not shoe-horned into some training program
that just happens to have openings.
Now, that's our approach to job training. And it
rests on the proposition that we should empower people with
skills instead of empowering bureaucracies with people.
Just a quick political word here: My opponent
agrees with this in principle, but when you get to the details we
really do have a vast philosophical difference. I believe we can
pay for this new job training offensive without raising taxes on
people or increasing overall government spending. (Applause.)
We've got to make the tough calls. This is a
priority. We've got to make the tough calls, set the budget
priorities. And this entire proposal, and, yes, it's going to
cost money, but it will be funded under the budget caps. And I
will project these in more detail as we move into the next budget
cycle.
My opponent is different. He sees job training as a
tax raiser and he wants to tax workers to pay for their own
training and tax small businesses -- this is the one that's the
worst -- taxing small businesses around the country 1.5 percent.
That is 1.5 that will come out of your paycheck and it's on top
of the new income and other payroll taxes he's proposing.
AUDIENCE: B0000.
THE PRESIDENT: Think of what this is going to do to
small business, which has created over two-thirds of the new jobs
in the past decade. So let me say this to my opponent -- there
is no point in training people for jobs if your plan is going to
be in the process of destroying jobs. (Applause.)
MORE
And there's another difference between our two
workers coping with the post-Cold War economic realities. What
approaches. My opponent says he'll do more to help defense
he won't tell you, though, is this: We sent forward a prudent
defense budget. Because of what we've accomplished around the
world, because the world is more peaceful, we are able to reduce
spending. But he sent forward a program that plans $60 billion
in additional cuts in defense beyond what the experts say is
responsible, and that not only will damage the national defense,
it will throw one million more defense-related industry employees
out of work and on to the unemployment rolls. And I'm not going
to have it on two counts -- adding to the unemployment, but
fundamentally I must protect the national security of the United
states. (Applause.)
And once these workers have lost those jobs, high-
paid, high-tech jobs, the other side will step in with some --
you know, kind of a make-work program. Someone ought to ask the
workers whether they would rather have their high-tech jobs and
good training for another high-tech industry, or some short-term
government make-work job. I vote for the former. We can do it.
we can get everybody engaged in high-tech jobs with this
retraining approach. (Applause.)
Now, the big point I want to make here in this
working state is higher spending and higher taxes will not do any
favors to the American worker. According to one congressional
analysis, it could cost America almost three million jobs -- this
tax and spend approach. And my opponent's whole approach reminds
me of the guy with the head cold. The doctor wants to amputate
his leg. And to the patient it sounds a little odd, you know, a
little radical. To the doctor it's logical. If your cold
settles in your lungs, you'll get pneumonia; if you get
pneumonia, your circulation will go; if your circulation goes,
you'll get gangrene so just to be safe better take off the leg.
(Laughter.)
Well, that ain't it. That's not going to get the
job done. we need a new approach and one that doesn't cripple
the economy and then offer workers a crutch. One that helps
people keep the jobs they have, create the new jobs that they
demand and one that helps America retool for the challenges of a
new century, for the challenges of your lifetime.
I like the spirit here at Lincoln. The people at
Lincoln, students and faculty, seem to understand -- (applause)
-- they seem to understand that training for jobs that exist and
moving people up the ladder is the goal that we all ought to
share. And it's certainly one I do. And I appreciate this visit
very much.
You know, I put forward this approach. I'm going to
fight for it in the campaign; fight for it with what I hope is a
DOW, nongridlocked Congress that is fouling up everthing in this
country. (Applause.)
And 50 I appreciate very much what you all have
shown me here today. I wish each and every student at this
wonderful institution Godspeed and good luck. And I'll tell you,
I will de my level best to hold the line on the taxes and to hold
the line on the spending, and create new jobs through this kind
of new job training approach. (Applause.)
Thank you all. And God bless you. (Applause.) May
God bless you all. And let me say this: I know things have been
tough, but we are the United States of America. We can overcome
our problems and continue to lead in the world. Thank you very
(Dpplause.)

Thank you,

David Bailoff
Let me tell you why I've come to Lincoln Tech this morning
to cut into your coffee break. I'm here today because of what
will take place 71 days from now -- because of a decision you'll
be making November 3rd, that will set the course of this nation
at a critical moment in America's future.
This election is about the big issues. About the issues
that shape the world -- about the values close to home: I'm
talking about family and faith -- about neighborhoods free from
crime
about a world free from fear. //
But we all know the number one worry today is the economy,
it's jobs. Just as you can't drive a nail without a hammer, you
can't build a dream without a job. You're here at Lincoln Tech
because you made the decision to meet the real-world head-on. If
anyone tells you what you're doing here doesn't matter -- let me
tell you: Don't you believe it. What you're doing here makes
all the difference in the world.
If you want to talk to the most productive workers in the
world -- you don't have to brush up on your German, or take a
crash course in Japanese. You can start right here in the U.S.A.

-- because the American worker is the most productive worker in
the world. //
That simple fact is worth pointing out because it can help
us keep our economic problems in perspective. And that's
important -- because we're hearing an awful lot these days from
folks who are itching to "play mechanic" with the American
economy. They've got a vested interest in talking this economy
down, feeding fears, treating what's temporary as terminal.
You know the kind of mechanic I mean: Ask him to change the
oil -- and he wants to pull the engine. 11
My point is: When it comes to what happens in this garage:
Experience counts. / You can't solve a problem you don't
understand. The economy's no different.
The simple fact is, there is only one candidate for
Run the
President who has lived a life beyond government
who has
languyebn
known a call above political ambition. Once Bill Clinton got
of
into office, the only way they got him out
...
was when the
voters kicked him out. 11
My opponent's idea about creating jobs is to put people on
the public payroll. There are 144,000 government employees in
Washington
Arkansas, and 235,000 in private industry. That's the kind of
Post
ratio we'd expect to see in the old U.S.S.R. -- not the U.S.A.

bad qualification for being President.
I'm
We know the world economy is changing -- and America must
change with it, if we want to compete. Think of the jobs you'll
hold -- think of your friends and families. Right now, 1 in
every 6 American manufacturing jobs is tied directly to exports -
- and that doesn't count the economic ripple effect created when
those workers pay the mortgage, buy a car or feed their kids.
Since 1988, three-fifths of all our economic growth has come from
people in other countries buying what's Made in America.
We don't need more studies or statistics to prove that free
trade is our future. America's real wealth isn't something we
dig up from the ground -- it's the sweat and the smarts of the
American worker. Yes, the world's coming our way -- but I know:
we can play the game. 11
As President, I've worked to create the new American markets
from Mexico City to Moscow that mean new American jobs from Union
Township, New Jersey to Ukiah, California. I'm convinced the
answer is not to build a wall around our economy, not to put the
government in charge -- but to use the government to help you --
literally -- go to work.
It's part of a larger philosophy. 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.

Bill Clinton says he's all for free enterprise -- then he
proposes the largest tax hike in history, much of it on the back
of small business.
Bill Clinton says he wants smaller government -- but of all
the thousands of government programs, he can find only one he's
willing to cut: The honey bee subsidy.
[[And they could still get stung on that one.]]
Bill Clinton says he's for fiscal responsibility -- and then
he comes out against the Balanced Budget Amendment.
That's what Bill Clinton says ... now let me tell you what a
former Democratic candidate says about Bill Clinton -- he thinks
this year's Democratic ticket is a Trojan Horse: and I quote --
will
"They're much more liberal underneath -- and they'll prove it
when they're elected."
That's not me using the "L" word -- that's George McGovern.
So if you ask me how I'd get ready for November 3rd, I have
just two pieces of advice to the American voter: Kick the tires.
And don't get taken for a ride. //
This year, the choice is clear. It's a choice between two
fundamentally different philosophies: of the government, by the
government, for the government" versus "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. 11

I trust the people -- not the government -- to choose their
own health care.
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. 11
The genius of free enterprise is something the "Government
First" folks just won't ever understand. They'd look at Thomas
Edison's light bulb -- and see a threat to the candle industry.
What we need now is someone who sees the new horizon --
someone who understands America's place in the world is never to
be the patrons of the past -- but the architects of the future.
Consider my approach to the issue that right now concerns
you most: job training.
Earlier this year, I announced Job Training 2000 -- a
comprehensive program to streamline the crazy quilt of over 100
different federal jobs programs. Now that we've put in place an
effective structure for delivering job training, I want to expand
our efforts -- for young people trying to get that first job, and
for older workers retooling for a new career.
We will do it by almost tripling the funds we devote to job
training. Our aim is: Better training for young people first
joining the workforce -- better re-training for workers changing
careers -- better training and assistance for workers who lose
their jobs. 11

Start with a new initiative I call Youth Training Corps.
The idea here is to take at-risk youth off the mean streets
and give them a second chance to build the skills they need to
set Tom
succeed. We're going to build on the existing Civilian
Centers
Conservation Corps
-- and add 25 new centers, with positions for
23
43,000 new trainees. 11
We will give hiring priority to former members of our Armed
Forces -- people with the proven leadership skills, the drive and
discipline that breed success.
I will also urge the Congress to expand my Youth
Apprenticeship Program. This program offers today's high school
students the best chance to get a start in the workforce without
dropping out of school. It's working now in 6 states -- we ought
to take it to all 50 states.
Finally, we've got to connect our efforts to get young
people off drugs with the job skills that help them get a clean
start. To this end, I am going to expand drug treatment to reach
an additional 28,000 kids a year -- and we're going to tie
successful drug treatment to job training as well. I call it
Treat and Train -- and it will guarantee these kids a place in
our job training program the moment they finish rehabilitation.
Helping young people is part of the picture. If we want to
compete, we've got to help older workers obtain new skills. 11
That's why I am announcing today a dramatic new departure in
job training -- scrapping the present system, tripling current
funding, and putting the focus on greater flexibility for the
AUG-20-1992 14:21 FROM HOUSTON TX

worker. The key concept here is Skills Grants -- vouchers worth
up to $3000 dollars per person, to be used toward the training
program of their choice. And these vouchers can go not simply to
the unemployed -- but to those who worry the next pink slip may
be their own: to help defense workers retool, to help workers in
declining industries sharpen the skills they'll need to stay one
step ahead.
What Pell Grants have done to open up opportunities for
college kids, Skills Grants will do for young trainees and
experienced workers in need of new skills. And it vannounced will key in on
12
the needs of dislocated workers.
Ten days
ago, I signed the
NAFTA
NAFTA -- the North American Free Trade Agreement, to open new

economic opportunities for American products from the Yukon to
the Yucatan. In the 1990s, NAFTA will create millions of new
American jobs -- but near-term, it may also mean dislocations in
some industries.

transition to NAFTA -- and my plan will make a good beginning.
My plan sets aside up to $660 million per year for the

effected by NAFTA -- or to other hard-hit areas. This funding is
more than enough to ensure that any and every affected worker
gets training. More important, it will help them get the kind of
training they want -- not simply shoehorn them into existing
programs that just happen to have openings.

That's our approach to job training: Meaningful work -- not
make-work. Real-world help ... for real jobs. 11
That's an approach the other side can't match. The other
side sees job training as just another reason to raise taxes. We
see it as a way to raise self-esteem -- restore productivity and

tell you is they plan $60 billion dollars in added defense cuts

one million more defense-industry employees out of work and onto
welfare. Then, once these workers have lost their jobs -- high-
paid, high-tech jobs -- the other side will step in with
government "make-work." Someone ought to ask these workers what
they'd rather have: Their jobs -- or job training? 11
But I guess my opponents are doing the only thing they know
how: Drive the private sector into bankruptcy -- then offer
everyone a dead-end job on the public payroll. 11
(( It reminds me of the guy with a head cold -- and the
doctor who wants to amputate his leg. To the patient, it sounds
a bit radical. To the doctor, it's logical: "If your cold
settles in your lungs -- you'll get pneumonia. If you get

pneumonia, your circulation will go. If your circulation goes,
you'll get gangrene." 11 "So, just to be safe: better take off
the leg." 11))
We need a new approach -- one that doesn't cripple the
economy and then offer workers a crutch. One that helps people
keep the jobs they've got ... and creates new ones. One that
helps America retool for the challenges of a new century -- for
the challenge of your lifetimes. 11
Thank you all for this warm welcome -- and may God bless
this great nation, the United States of America.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: LINCOLN TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
Pous Acks. INTRO
UNION TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY
AUGUST 24, 1992
??:00 A.M.
Thank you,
,
for those kind words.
[Acknowledgements.]
Let me tell you why I've come to Lincoln Tech
this morning
to cut into your coffee break. I'm here today because of what
will take place 71 days from now -- because of a decision you'll
>
be making November 3rd, that will set the course of this nation
at a critical moment in America's history future
This election is about the big issues. About the issues
that shape the world -- about the values close to home: I'm
talking about family and faith -- about neighborhoods free from
crime ... about a world free from fear. //
But we all know the number one worry today is the economy,
it's jobs. Just as you can't drive a nail without a hammer, you
can't build a dream without a job. You're here at Lincoln Tech
because you made the decision to meet the real-world head-on. If
anyone tells you what you're doing here doesn't matter -- let me
tell you: Don't you believe it. What you're doing here makes
all the difference in the world.
If you want to talk to the most productive workers in the
world -- you don't have to brush up on your German, or take a
crash course in Japanese. You can start right here in the U.S.A.

-- because the American worker is the most productive worker in
the world. //
That simple fact is worth pointing out because it can help
us keep our economic problems in perspective. And that's
important -- because we're hearing an awful lot these days from
folks who are itching to "play mechanic" with the American
economy. They've got a vested interest in talking this economy

down, feeding fears, treating what's temporary as terminal.
You know the kind of mechanic I mean: Ask him to change the
oil -- and he wants to pull the engine. //
My point is: When it comes to what happens in this garage:
Experience counts. / You can't solve a problem you don't
understand. The economy's no different.
The simple fact is, there is only one candidate for

//
I come at things a different way. Long before I came to
public service, I built a company

our economy, not to put the government in charge -- but to use
the government to help you -- literally -- go to work.
It's part of a larger philosophy. 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.
Bill Clinton says he's all for free enterprise -- then he
proposes the largest tax hike in history, much of it on the back
of small business.

Bill Clinton says he wants smaller government -- but of all
the thousands of government programs, he can find only one he's

"They're much more liberal underneath -- and they WILL 11 prove it when
they're elected." New York Times July 14, 1992
That's not me using the "L" word -- that's George McGovern.
So if you ask me how I'd get ready for November 3rd, I have
just two pieces of advice to the American voter: Kick the tires.
And don't get taken for a ride. //
This year, the choice is clear. It's a choice between two
fundamentally different philosophies: of the government, by the
government, for the government" versus "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 the people -- not the government -- to choose their
own health care.
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. //
5
The genius of free enterprise is something the "Government
First" folks just won't ever understand. They'd look at Thomas
Edison's light bulb -- and see a threat to the candle industry.
What we need now is someone who sees the new horizon --
someone who understands America's place in the world is never to
be the patrons of the past -- but the architects of the future.
//
Consider my approach to the issue that right now concerns
you most: job training.
Earlier this year, I announced Jobs Training 2000 -- a
comprehensive program to help American workers of all ages adapt
world
to our evolving economy. Today, I want to expand that effort --
- for young people trying to get that first-job, and for older
workers retooling for a new career.
Start with a new initiative I call Youth Training Corps.
The idea here is to take at-risk youth off the mean streets
and give them a second chance to build the skills they need to
succeed. We're going to build on existing Civilian Conservation
Corps -- and add 25 new centers, with positions for 23,000 new
trainees. //
We will give hiring priority to former members of our Armed
Forces -- people with the proven leadership skills, the drive and
discipline that breed success. line from VFW Speech hands Rom turrets to
keyboards of changing economy
I will also urge the Congress to expand my Youth
Apprenticeship Program. This program offers today's high school
students the best chance to get a start in the workforce without
6
let's
dropping out of school. It's working now in 6 states -- we ought
to take it to all 50 states.
Finally, we've got to connect our efforts to get young
people off drugs with the job skills that help them get a clean
start. That's the aim of a new program I call Treat and Train -
- to pair intensive drug treatment with an inside track into the
new Youth Training Corps I announced just a moment ago.
Helping young people is part of the picture. If we want to
compete, we've got to help older workers obtain new skills. //
That's why I am announcing today a new departure in job
training -- scrapping the present system, tripling present
funding, and putting the focus on greater flexibility for the
worker. The key concept here is Skills Grant Vouchers --
vouchers worth up to $3000 dollars per person, to be used toward
the training program of their choice. And these vouchers can go
not simply to the unemployed -- but to those who worry the next
pink slip may be their own: to help defense workers retool, to
help workers in declining industries sharpen the skills they'll
need to stay one step ahead.
That's our approach to job training: Meaningful work -- not
make-work. Real-world help
for real jobs. //
That's an approach the other side can't match. The other
side sees job training as just another reason to raise taxes.
Right now the federal government spends $1.5 trillion
call
OMB
dollars a year. But it seems $1.5 trillion just isn't enough.
So they want to tax workers to pay for their own training.

The other side says they'll do more to help defense workers
coping with post-Cold War economic realities. What they won't
nearly
tell you is they plan $60 billion dollars in added defense cuts -
- reckless cuts that will damage our national defense and throw

welfare. Then, once these workers have lost their jobs -- high-
paid, high-tech jobs -- the other side will step in with
government "make-work." Someone ought to ask these workers what
they'd rather have: Their jobs -- or job training? //
But I guess my opponents are doing the only thing they know
how: Drive the private sector into bankruptcy -- then offer
everyone a dead-end job on the public payroll. //
(( It reminds me of the guy with a head cold -- and the
doctor who wants to amputate his leg. To the patient, it sounds
a bit radical. To the doctor, it's logical: "If your cold
settles in your lungs -- you'll get pneumonia. If you get
pneumonia, your circulation will go. If your circulation goes,
you'll get gangrene." // "So, just to be safe: better take off
the leg. " //))
We need a new approach -- one that doesn't cripple the
economy and then offer workers a crutch. One that helps people
keep the jobs they've got and creates new ones. One that
helps America retool for the challenges of a new century -- for
the challenge of your lifetimes. //
Thank you all for this warm welcome -- and may God bless
this great nation, the United States of America.

RE:
SURVEY REPORT FOR UNION, NEW JERSEY
MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1992
stuff
EVENT SCENARIO:
The President will travel to Newark International Airport and
motorcade 15-20 minutes to Union, New Jersey. The President will
tour The Lincoln Technical Institute and give an address to the
student body on education and job training. After his remarks,
the President will motorcade back to Newark International Airport
and fly to Hartford, Connecticut. Note: A possible sidebar event
for GOP faithful may be considered while in the Newark area.
PURPOSE OF VISIT:
The visit to Lincoln Technical Institute (LTI) will provide
the President with a venue to discuss the Administration's
accomplishments in education as well as the goals of making America
more competitive in the future. With rapid changes in technology,
finding and keeping trained and qualified employees has become
increasingly difficult.
As one of the nation's largest training companies, LTI takes
a pro-active role in meeting this challenge. Lincoln Technical
Institute's primary objective is to teach skills to the unskilled,
refine skills of the semi-skilled, and help them find gainful
employment in their industry. LTI works hand-in-hand with
business, industry, labor and government in identifying the skills
most needed today and the training programs necessary to develop
those skills.
The Lincoln Technical Institute, Inc. School System was
established in Newark, New Jersey in 1946. In 1972, LTI moved to
Union, New Jersey to provide its students with a larger, more
modern training facility. Today it has eleven training centers
strategically located around the country. LTI offers programs in
automotive and diesel truck technology, air conditioning and
refrigeration service, heating systems, and mechanical drafting.

I propose the President arrive via motorcade to a side
entrance of LTI's school in Union, NJ. Upon arrival, the President
will be greeted by LTI's Executive Director and proceed on a brief
tour of the facility. The first stop will be to the Automotive-
Diesel Truck Technology garage. The President will observe
students working on diesel truck engines. There will also be an
expanded press pool off to the side.
The President will then proceed down the hall and observe a
refrigeration training program. Along the walls are a number of
training work stations where students learn the mechanics of
refrigerator systems and how to repair them. The press pool would
again be able to cover this. The President would end his brief
tour in LTI S Main Shop which is a large garage area where students
learn automotive repair.
The room will be filled with a seated and standing crowd of
700-800 students and faculty. The room itself is approximately
10,000 square feet so there would also be additional room for local
Republican officials and party faithful to hear the speech. The
President would be escorted to a small dais surrounded by students
on three sides. The students are required to wear uniforms. The

BACKGROUND:
The Twenty-first District includes municipalities in the
central part of Union County. Its Italian-German-Irish population,
originally one of the largest, has decreased slightly since 1980.
It includes a high percentage of persons 65 or over. Most fiscal
data are close to state average or median levels. The district has
a large number of registered voters and a consistently very high
voter turnout. With the exception of the 1984 Senate race,
Republican candidates have won all recent elections.

HEADLINE: DEMOCRATS IN NEW YORK -- NEW DIRECTION;
Democratic Platform Shows Shift in Party's Focus
BYLINE: By DAVID E. ROSENBAUM
BODY:
Once organized labor and civil rights groups were the fulcrum of the
Democratic Party, and the Democratic candidates, men like Hubert H. Humphrey and
Walter F. Mondale, campaigned for poor people and workers and higher taxes to
pay for Government programs that could solve the problems of the country.
But the views that dominated the party for so long, what was once proudly
called liberal, are hardly in evidence in Madison Square Garden this week. The
party platform the delegates plan to adopt tonight has whole sections that would
have been hooted down not too many years ago.
For some, the passage is a sad one. "Of course I'm disappointed the spectrum
of my party has moved so far to the right," said Joseph L. Rauh Jr., the
81-year-old lawyer who helped found Americans for Democratic Action, the liberal
lobby, and who devoted his life to working for civil rights laws and union
democracy and against McCarthyism and the war in Vietnam.
A Changed Nation
But Mr. Mondale, who in 1984 was the last down-the-line liberal to win the
Democratic Presidential nominationand who lost 49 states to Ronald Reagan in
November, said he was resigned to the change. "It's a different nation now with
different issues," said the former Vice President, who is here as a delegate but
is not scheduled to address the convention.
The reason for the change in direction is no secret. The party was playing a
losing hand, routed in five of the last six elections.
"Losing has a way of focusing the attention of politicians," said Al From,
executive director of the Democratic Leadership Council, the organization of
moderate and conservative Democrats that has seen its stands adopted as party
policy.
"Liberalism," Mr. From added, "lost favor when we quit being a party of
prosperity and growth."
Gov. Bill Clinton and the man he has chosen to be his Democratic running
mate, Senator Al Gore, Leadership Council members and moderates to the core, are
trying to distance themselves somewhat from labor unions, blacks and traditional
liberal causes.

Mr. Clinton jumped at the chance last month to criticize a rap performer and
take on the Rev. Jesse Jackson, and he was almost ostentatious when he went
before the United Automobile Workers last spring and supported a free-trade
agreement with Mexico that the union is opposing with all its might.
No one would mistake the Democrats' platform for that of the Republicans. It
endorses a legal right to abortion, civil rights for gay men and lesbians,
expanded child care programs and higher taxes on the wealthy.
But the party's policy makers of the Roosevelt, Truman and Johnson days,
liberals like Senator Paul H. Douglas of Illinois and Walter P. Reuther, who ran
the automobile workers' union, would have been stunned by many parts of the
platform.
Criticism of 'Big Government'
At one point, the document says Americans are justifiably angry, not just at
Republicans but at "government itself."
Another plank criticizes "the big-government theory that says we can
hamstring business and tax and spend our way to prosperity." Still another
section says labor must join business "in cooperative efforts to increase
productivity, flexibility and quality."
Much of the change is the result of demography. The electorate is dominated
nowadays by voters from the suburbs and small towns instead of those from cities
and farms.
Only 16 percent of workers belong to labor unions, less than half the
proportion right after World War II, and many of today's union members are
teachers and government employees rather than factory workers.
The unions, "are quite subdued," said George McGovern, the former South
Dakota Senator who was the Democratic Presidential nominee in 1972. "They know
how much clout they lost."
But part of the change also arose from something that happened to the
Democrats in the 1970's and 1980's, beginning with the McGovern campaign: the
party's basic constituencies fragmented.
Before, there had been a few big groups under the Democratic tent: workers,
farmers, intellectuals, blacks. But with the Vietnam War and the violent
protests accompanied it, many union leaders and academicians turned
conservative. At the same time, many farmers became indistinguishable from from
small-business people, and blacks split between those favoring integration and
those who thought blacks had to fend for themselves.
New groups -- homosexuals, abortion rights advocates, supporters of Israel
and countless others -- demanded the ear of the party and refused to be
satisfied with compromise.
A Trojan Horse Is Seen
Finally, the main bearers of the liberal message, Jesse Jackson and
Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, were disliked by a large segment

of the population, and that detracted from the liberal cause.
Mr. McGovern thinks the Clinton-Gore approach is a Trojan horse. "I have
a hunch," he said, "that they're much more liberal underneath and will prove
it when they're elected.'
But Mr. Mondale said he was under no illusions that the party had not
changed. "We kind of used up the old agenda," he said.

SECTION: Section 4; Page 16; Column 3; Editorial Desk
LENGTH: 726 words
HEADLINE: Defying Jinx, McGovern Backs the Ticket
BODY:
To the Editor:
"Democratic Platform Shows Shift in Party's Focus" (news article, July 14)
contains this paragraph: "Mr. McGovern thinks the Clinton-Gore approach is a
Trojan horse. 'I have a hunch,' he said, 'that they're much more liberal
underneath and will prove it when they're elected. =
Picking up on this report of a brief telephone interview I did with your
reporter, President Bush has described me as "an incredibly insightful man," who
realizes that the Clinton-Gore ticket is guilty of liberalism.
This, of course, is the same crime Mr. Bush attributed to the Dukakis-Bentsen
ticket four years ago without benefit of a McGovern insight.
Indeed, I have noted for the last 20 years -- whether I am silent or
talkative - some Republican politicians have found it useful to accuse
Democratic candidates of "liberalism" or, in extreme cases, "McGovernism."
What can I do about this as a loyal Democrat who favors a Clinton-Gore
victory -- just as I wanted victories by Dukakis-Bentsen in 1988,
Mondale-Ferraro in '84, Carter-Mondale in '80 and Humphrey-Muskie in '68? They
all lost.
If in some way I have contributed to this Democratic carnage beyond the
McGovern-Shriver loss of '72, how can I be as "incredibly insightful" as the
President believes me to be?
Considering my record, one might suppose there are three ways in which I
could help the Clinton-Gore ticket: endorse the Bush-Quayle ticket, attack
Clinton-Gore or refuse to answer reporters' questions.
None of these options seem entirely satisfactory.
Instead, I offer these points:
I did not describe the Clinton-Gore ticket as a "Trojan horse"; I described
it as strong, appealing and quite possibly victorious. When asked if I was not
troubled by its conservative makeup, I said that I was not and that I believed
Bill Clinton and Al Gore would prove more liberal than some of their liberal
critics expect.
I had in mind their support for a strong jobs program, their record on civil
rights, their support for quality education, welfare reform, decisive

environmental action, national health care and a woman's right to decide whether
or not to have an abortion.
That is the liberal agenda and in my opinion it is a common-sense agenda that
should appeal to conservatives and independents as well.
I have never been ashamed of liberalism or conservatism. The creative tension
between these two central political traditions is the strength of America's
two-party system.
My mother and father were lifelong Republicans, who believed in such onetime
conservative doctrines as a balanced budget and loyalty to the Constitution. I
absorbed enough of their conservatism to make me appalled at the size of the
Federal deficit in the Reagan-Bush era. I blame both Republican Presidents and
the Democratic Congress for our scandalous national debt. I'm also sufficiently
conservative to be appalled by the scandals of Watergate, the Iran-contra affair
and the savings and loan grand larceny -- to say nothing of the bipartisan
Vietnam tragedy that 50 painfully weakened the nation.
I lean toward liberalism in the knowledge that nearly all public programs now
generally supported by Republicans and Democrats alike, such as Social Security
and Medicare, began as liberal initiatives pushed through over conservative
objections. I'm old-fashioned enough to believe that Republicans should be
conservatives and Democrats should be liberals. Perhaps that is why my old
Senate colleague Barry Goldwater and I admire and respect each other.
Many millions of dollars have been spent by negative campaign specialists to
depict me as an unstable radical or extreme liberal. For the record, I regarded
myself in 1972 as an American patriot, who loved his country enough to call it
home to its constitutional principles.
I see myself as a man of moderate temperament guided by common sense. The
somewhat conservative electorate of South Dakota elected me to high office for
nearly a quarter of a century. My political heroes are Jefferson, Lincoln and
Roosevelt. The "incredible insight" the President generously attributes to me
tells me that Bill Clinton and Al Gore may come a little closer to those giants
than George Bush and Dan Quayle.
I trust that this mild endorsement will not cause them excessive
embarrassment.

EVENT SCENARIO:
The President will travel to Newark International Airport and
motorcade 15-20 minutes to Union, New Jersey. The President will
tour The Lincoln Technical Institute and give an address to the
student body on education and job training. After his remarks,
the President will motorcade back to Newark International Airport
and fly to Hartford, Connecticut. Note: A possible sidebar event
for GOP faithful may be considered while in the Newark area.
PURPOSE OF VISIT:
The visit to Lincoln Technical Institute (LTI) will provide
the President with a venue to discuss the Administration's
accomplishments in education as well as the goals of making America
more competitive in the future. With rapid changes in technology,
finding and keeping trained and qualified employees has become
increasingly difficult.
As one of the nation's largest training companies, LTI takes
a pro-active role in meeting this challenge. Lincoln Technical
Institute's primary objective is to teach skills to the unskilled,
refine skills of the semi-skilled, and help them find gainful
employment in their industry. LTI works hand-in-hand with
business, industry, labor and government in identifying the skills
most needed today and the training programs necessary to develop
those skills.
The Lincoln Technical Institute, Inc. School System was
established in Newark, New Jersey in 1946. In 1972, LTI moved to
Union, New Jersey to provide its students with a larger, more
modern training facility. Today it has eleven training centers

jacks be used to elevate two cars (at different levels) as a
backdrop. Automotive analysis equipment could be located nearby.
A framed banner could also be suspended from the ceiling reading
something like "Job Training for the 21st Century" or "Investing in

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: LINCOLN TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
UNION, NEW JERSEY
AUGUST 24, 1992
10:00 A.M.
Thank you, Secretary Martin for those kind words. Former
Governor Tom Kean. Rep. Matty Renaldo -- it's good to be in your
hometown. Pat Santangelo thank you for the tour. Students and
faculty.
Let me tell you why I've come to Lincoln Tech this morning
to cut into your coffee break. I'm here today because of what
will take place 71 days from now -- because of a decision you'll
be making November 3rd, that will set the course of this nation.
The defining challenge of the 1990's is to win the economic
competition -- win the peace.
America must be a military superpower, an economic
superpower, and an export superpower.
In this election -- you'll hear two visions of how to do
this. Theirs is to look inward, and protect what we already
have. Ours is to look forward -- to open new markets, create
incentives, restore our social fabric -- and prepare our people
to compete -- so that we can win.
This morning, I want to talk about the last of those
challenges -- new ways to prepare our American workers to
compete.
We know the world economy is changing -- and America must
change with it. As President, I've worked to create new markets
2
from Mexico City to Moscow -- that mean new American jobs from
Union, New Jersey to Ukiah, California. Right now, 1 in every 6
American manufacturing jobs is tied directly to exports -- and
that doesn't count the economic ripple effect created when those
workers pay the mortgage, buy a car or feed their kids. Since
1988, three-fifths of all our economic growth has come from
people in other countries buying what's Made in America.
Jobs in these new export industries demand workers with
higher skills than the jobs of the old economy. And workers must
realize what you know here at Lincoln. During the course of a
career -- you may develop as many as five or six skills or
proficiencies -- putting a premium on flexibility and life-long
learning.
These principles are reflected in a new commitment to job
training I am unveiling today --- a program that is bold,
innovative and loyal only to the future -- and the needs of the
American worker.
Earlier this year, I announced Job Training 2000 -- a
comprehensive program to streamline the crazy quilt of over 100
different federal jobs programs. Now that we've designed an
effective structure for delivering job training, I want to expand
our efforts.
We will do it by almost tripling the funds we devote to
training workers who've lost their jobs. If our nation is to
succeed in the world economy, we can't afford to waste the
talents of any worker. That means we need better training for
3
young people first joining the workforce -- better re-training
for workers changing careers -- and better training and
assistance for workers who lose their jobs. //
Start with a new initiative I call Youth Training Corps.
This program is aimed at young people, primarily in our inner
cities. Kids with talent, kids with ambition -- but with no
outlets for their abilities other than a life of drugs and crime.
Right now, we have a great program -- called the
Conservation Centers -- which takes these kids to job training
centers, often in rural areas, and puts them to work -- for
example, helping rebuild parks or recreation and community
facilities. At the same time, these kids learn a skill, find out
how to manage their finances, and get counseling about how to
break away from the temptations of the mean streets they once
hung out on.
We're going to build on the Civilian Conservation Corps --
and add 25 new centers, with positions for 43,000 new trainees.
//
To staff these centers, we will give hiring priority to
former members of our Armed Forces -- people with the proven
leadership skills, the drive and discipline that breed success.
And we need to expand our existing efforts to teach high
school kids about their opportunities in life, provide them
strong role models and encourage a sense of personal
responsibility and discipline. So, I am also to day doubling the
size of our Jr. ROTC program. The program is in almost 1,500
4
schools today -- I'll expand it to 2,900 schools. With $50,000 a
year in new funding another 150,000 kids will get the benefit of
what has been a great program that boosts high school completion
rates, reduces drug use, raises self-esteem and gets these kids
firmly on the right track.
I will also urge the Congress to expand my Youth
Apprenticeship Program. This program is aimed at high school
juniors and seniors who may be in danger of dropping out. The
program combines classroom instruction with structured work
programs. When students finish, they not only have a diploma,
they have a certificate saying they have developed a skill -- and
can get a job. Right now, this program is working as a
demonstration project in 6 states -- it ought to be expand to all
50 states.
We'll also do more for troubled kids and we'll connect our
efforts to connect our efforts to get young people off drugs with
the skills that help them get a clean start. To this end, I am
going to expand drug treatment to reach an additional 28,000 kids
a year -- and we're going to tie it to successful drug treatment
to job training. I call it Treat and Train -- and it will
guarantee these kids a place in our job training program the
moment they finish rehabilitation.
Helping young people is part of the picture. But if we want
to compete, we've got to help older workers obtain new skills.
These are people caught in the transition of our economy --eager
5
to earn new skills -- so they can get new jobs, and protect their
standard of living.
That's why I am announcing today a dramatic new departure in
job training for Americans in the middle of their career. We
will scrap the present system, tripling current funding, and
putting the focus on greater flexibility for the worker.
The key concept here is something I call Skill Grants.
These are vouchers -- worth up to $3000 dollars per person --
that can be used toward the training program of their choice.
And these vouchers can go not simply to the unemployed -- but to
those who worry the next pink slip may be their own: to help
defense workers retool, to help workers in declining industries
sharpen the skills they'll need to stay one step ahead.
What Pell Grants have done to open up opportunities for our
younger kids, Skill Grants will do for experienced workers in
need of new skills. And the program will focus on the needs of
what we call "dislocated workers" -- people in industries that
are changing because of global competition.
Twleve days ago, I announced the NAFTA -- the North American
Free Trade Agreement, to open new economic opportunities for
American products from the Yukon to the Yucatan. In the 1990s,
NAFTA will create millions of new American jobs -- but near-
term, it may also mean dislocations in some industries.
I've assured the Congress I'd work with them to ease the
transition to NAFTA -- and today's plan will meet that
commitment.
6
My plan sets aside up to $670 million per year for the
Secretary of Labor to pump into areas that might be negatively
effected by NAFTA. This funding is more than enough to ensure
that any and every affected worker gets training. More
important, it will help them get the kind of training they want -
- not simply shoehorn them into training programs that just
happen to have openings.
That's our approach to job training: It rests on the
proposition that we should empower people with skills -- instead
of empowering bureaucracies with people.
//
My opponent agrees with this -- in principle. But when you
get to the details, you see a vast difference between our two
philosophies. I believe we can pay for this new job training
offensive without raising taxes or increasing overall government
spending -- by making the tough calls and setting budget
priorities. My entire proposal will be funded within the budget
caps on spending.
My opponent is different -- he sees job training as just
another excuse to raise taxes. // He wants to tax workers to
pay for their own training. He wants to tax small businesses
around the country 1.5 percent -- that's 1.5 percent that will
come out of every worker's paycheck, and it's on top of new
income and other payroll taxes he's proposing.
Think of what this will do to small business, which has
created over two-thirds of the new jobs in the past decade. Let
7
me say this to Governor Clinton -- there is no point in training
people for jobs -- if your plan is going to destroy them.
There is another difference between our two approaches. My
opponent says he'll do more to help defense workers coping with
post-Cold War economic realities. What he won't tell you is he
plans $60 billion dollars in added defense cuts beyond what the
experts say is responsible -- reckless cuts that will damage our
national defense and throw one million more defense-industry
employees out of work and onto the unemployment rolls.
Then, once these workers have lost their jobs -- high-paid,
high-tech jobs -- the other side will step in with government
"make-work program." Someone ought to ask these workers what
they'd rather have: Their high-tech jobs and good job training
for another high-tech industry or short-term government "make
work" jobs. //
Don't kid yourself. My opponents prescription of higher
spending and higher taxes will not do any favors for the American
worker. According to one Congressional analysis, it could cost
America almost 3 million jobs in the short-term./ /
My opponents whole approach reminds me of the guy with a
head cold -- and the doctor who wants to amputate his leg. To
the patient, it sounds a bit radical. To the doctor, it's
logical: "If your cold settles in your lungs -- you'll get
pneumonia. If you get pneumonia, your circulation will go. If
your circulation goes, you'll get gangrene." // "So, just to be
safe: better take off the leg." //))
8
We need a new approach -- one that doesn't cripple the
economy and then offer workers a crutch. One that helps people
keep the jobs they have
...
and creates the new jobs they
demand. One that helps America retool for the challenges of a
new century -- for the challenge of your lifetimes. //
I believe I have put forward that approach -- and I will
fight for it in this campaign -- and with a new Congress.
Thank you all for allowing me to come here to talk about
this subject this morning -- and may God bless this great nation,
the United States of America.
