For Immediate Release
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
IN ADDRESS TO FINDLAY COMMUNITY
Findlay Machine and Tool, Inc.
Tall Timbers Industrial Park
Findlay, Ohio
5:15 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very, very much. Thank you,
Mike. If we had more congressmen like Mike oxley and had Mike Dewine
in the Senate, everybody wouldn't be yelling at me, "Clean House"
everyplace I go. (Applause.)
And thanks to all of you, especially, for that warm
welcome. I salute our Lieutenant Governor, Mike DeWine. Thanks to
the Mayor -- Mayor Keith Romick. And let me also thank our hosts,
Joe Kirk -- (applause) -- you better clap for Joe Kirk. (Laughter.)
NOW, as well as the local celebrities providing the
music -- band was fantastic -- that Findlay High School Band over
there -- (applause) -- and I'm also pleased that two men with whom I
served in Congress who no longer are there -- Del Latta is here, and
Jack Betts, both outstanding members of the United States Congress.
(Applause.)
And as Mike Oxley said, this is a return engagement.
And it's great to be here in Findlay -- Flag City, U.S.A. I couldn't
count every one of the 319 flags that I'm told you fly around
here -- but let me assure Jim Woodward, every flag I did see looked
great to me. (Applause.)
It is a time of great pride for our flag -- and for the
freedoms that it represents. And, yes, the Cold War is over -- and
freedom finished first. (Applause.) Now, the defining challenge of
the 90's is to win the competition of the new global economy.
Our goal is simple, it is straightforward: In the 21st
century, America must be not only a military superpower, but an
economic superpower -- and particularly an export superpower.
In this election, you'll hear two versions of how to do
this: My opponent's answer is to look inward -- to pretend we can
protect what we already have. And ours is to look forward -- to open
new markets, prepare our people to compete, restore the social
fabric, to save and invest -- SO that we can win for everybody in the
United States of America. (Applause.)
You know, already -- already Findlay is rising to the
challenge. when I was here four years ago, this spot where we're
standing was a forest. And today, Tall Timbers is a testament to the
transforming power of the international economy -- a living, working
blueprint for how America can compete. And you are showing the rest
of our country, you're showing the rest of America, that in the new
global economy America can earn a gold medal. And that's exactly
what we're doing right here in Findlay today. (Applause.)
What do the economists say about this new economy?
Well, I realize that economists are not always the most-admired
MORE

profession. My own economic advisors tell the story about a business
leader who traveled to New York City for a conference.
And in the Grand Central station, he was confronted by a
bum in tattered clothes. And the bum said "Hey, can you give me
ten bucks for a cup of coffee?" The businessman said -- "Ten bucks:
That sounds a little steep." And the bum replied: "Haven't you
heard? The dollar is weakening. The M1 money supply has been
loosened too quickly, and that could set off an inflationary
spiral -- driving up the cost of consumer goods."
The businessman looked at the guy and he said: "You're
pretty smart. Why aren't you an economist?" And the bum glared
back: "Buddy, I still have some pride." (Laughter and applause.)
Someone will probably tell me that the shop next door is the American
Economics Association. But nevertheless, I know that economists can
be confusing sometimes. But when it comes to the value of foreign
trade, they all agree. Foreign trade creates American jobs.
And right now, one out of every seven Ohio manufacturing
jobs is tied to foreign trade. Whether it's toothpaste from Proctor
and Gamble -- or the M1A2 tank built in Lima for sale to Saudi
Arabia: exports equal paychecks for the people of Ohio.
That's why I want to talk today about a dangerous idea
embraced by my opponent -- a new tax increase that he's taken to
heart. And I'm not talking about the s150-billion tax increase that
he wants in new income taxes. And I'm not talking about the new
payroll tax that he will need to pay for a government takeover of
health care. or the training tax he wants to chain to our economy.
or the carbon tax he wants to put on your cars.
I'm talking about a new idea -- a tax on foreign
companies doing business in the United States. And some might say:
what's wrong with that? At least the one tax that American workers
won't have to pay. Well, you should care -- and here's why. You'll
feel the effect up and down these loading docks -- starting with the
seven companies right here in Tall Timbers. Because these companies
may be foreign-owned -- but the jobs are American jobs.
(Applause.) And I know that our economy is struggling right now, and
a lot of people are hurting in this country. The economy's
struggling to accelerate right now. And I don't want to see anyone
take these jobs away from you, the American worker.
Look at this one -- look at FMT: an American-owned
company, selling what it makes here in the U.S. But Joe here, Joe
Kirk tells me FMT sells to a number of companies that are American-
based but foreign-owned -- sells to those. And if my opponent had
his way, and your customers get hit by his tax, when they start to
cut back -- when they cancel orders -- you'll get hurt.
We need to do better by the American worker and we need
a policy that creates jobs -- not a tax machine that spits out pink
slips. (Applause.)
Now, here's what I have to offer. A coherent plan --
one that sees that in today's world -- foreign policy, domestic
policy and economic policy are three sides of a single issue. A
strategy that reaches out to the world in a way that makes a
difference right here in Findlay -- in your neighborhoods, and in
your lives.
We must build on the fundamentals of lower tax rates,
limits on government spending, less red tape and regulation -- and
more trade, more competition to generate the growth that means more
opportunity, and thus more jobs. (Applause.)

It begins with an aggressive strategy to open new
markets -- so that "Made in America" is understood in any language
from Lima, ohio to Lima, Peru and beyond.
some will say that the American worker isn't up to it.
And I say: Look, give our workers a level playing field -- and they
will outperform any other worker in the world -- anyplace, anywhere,
anytime. (Applause.) I learned this myself. Thank God I spent some
time in the private sector -- half my adult life was in the private
sector and half in public service. But I learned this part in a very
personal way, 35 years ago when I started and headed a small drilling
company, service company. And we sold -- a tiny company, but we sold
our services in Japan, in Brunei, in the south Pacific. Sold them
over in the Middle East. Sold them in Venezuela and Trinidad. And I
learned something from all that. I learned you don't have to be a
big company to export. I learned that our crews, our workers could
compete, hold their own with workers, do better than workers anywhere
in the rest of the world. And I learned that when we export, we
really help the American economy. That is firsthand experience that
a young businessman learned, and as President I feel even more
strongly about it. We cannot go to protection and higher taxes; we
must go to more exports and more competition. (Applause.)
And I also believe in a very simple philosophy -- the
government is too big, and it spends too much of your money.
(Applause.) so far, this gridlocked Congress has resisted Many of my
attempts to cut the budget deficit.
so last week I unveiled at Houston there a new idea.
Why not give you -- the taxpayer -- the right to earmark up to 10
percent of your tax return, and have it go for one purpose alone: to
reduce the budget deficit? (Applause.) And let's get the deficit
down, and lift the burden of debt from the children's shoulders
around here -- lift that burden of debt by getting the deficit down.
(Applause.)
Once we have runaway spending under control, we need to
cut taxes across the board -- to give businesses incentives to grow
and create new jobs for America. I've been accused of being one of
those who thinks every day is the Fourth of July -- well, that's a
lot better than my opponent. He thinks every day is April 15th.
(Applause.) That's going to be the big issue in this campaign.
That's going to be the big issue. It's time to take the bullseye off
the back of the American taxpayer.
And I have a small concern about small business -- a
special concern about that. They create two-thirds of the new jobs
in our economy -- small businesses. And I have a plan to give small
businesses relief -- from taxation, regulation, and litigation.
(Applause.)
You may have read the story -- and this is true -- about
the fella up in New York, who threw himself in front of a subway
train and then sued for damages. And he was awarded $650,0001
Doctors are afraid to practice medicine, some moms and dads won't
even coach Little League.
And my opponent and the trial lawyers of America eye
each other with "goo-goo eyes," like Boris and Natasha in those old
Bullwinkle cartoons. And I want to stand up to the trial bar, and
reform our legal system. As a nation, here it is -- we ought to sue
each other less, and we ought to care for each other more. And we've
got to do something about these lawsuits. (Applause.)
AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years!
THE PRESIDENT: Time and again, I have sent proposals up
to that gridlocked Congress to do something to put some caps on these
lawsuits. And time and again, the gridlocked Congress has said no
MORE

because they are in the pocket of the Trial Lawyers Association.
Give me new members of Congress and let us change that for the
American people. (Applause.)
And I have other priorities -- and they're your
priorities. To control health care costs, without a backdoor
government takeover. More job training, for workers caught in the
transition of our economy. And I have a plan -- a good one -- to
create new schools for a new century -- we call it America 2000. And
with new ideas like using competition to make schools more
accountable to you -- the taxpayers and the parents. Give the
parents a choice as to whether to send this kid to private, public or
religious school. (Applause.)
If you agree with these ideas, then I ask you a favor.
Help me make this reform agenda a reality. Come November 3rd, send
me a Congress I can work with and give the existing Democratic
leadership a pink slip to get on home and go about their business.
(Applause.)
Congress today has become a gridlocked Congress. The
only institution that has not changed in 38 years. Presidents come
and go, senators come and go. The senate has changed control. The
House of Representatives has not changed control in 38 years, and
they spend their time debating incredibly issues like Vanna White and
the Wheel of Fortune -- (laughter) -- while neglecting the business
of the nation.
Now, next year, there are going to be an estimated 150
new members of Congress, at least -- and they're going to come to
Washington -- and we then have a real opportunity to break the
gridlock. And as you look at the various candidates, ask them the
tough questions. Are you for free and fair trade? Are you against
the kind of business tax that will cost American jobs? Do you want
to get the deficit down, and the economy moving? And send me a
Congress that will do what's right for America. I want to see the
line-item veto. I want a balanced budget amendment for this
Constitution. (Applause.) And don't you believe for one minute what
the opponents say when they say we are a nation in decline, we are a
nation not respected around the world.
I've been to many places around the world, and if one
thing it is clear, it is we are the undisputed, respected leader, not
just of the free world, but of other countries that are striving for
the freedom and democracy we sometimes take for granted.
Since this is Flag city, let me close with a flag story.
During the Gulf War, I received a letter from the Mayor of
Stantonsburg, North Carolina. He told me about watching two little
girls, about ten years old, walking across the school yard. And one
day, they went across, he was watching, and they were pulling their
mom's laundry on a wagon.
And as the girls passed the pole in front of the town
hall, they looked up and saw the United States Flag flapping in the
wind. And unaware that anyone was watching, these two little girls
stopped, placed their hands over their hearts, and pledged allegiance
to the flag. And one little girl said simply -- "It's important to
do this, you know, because of the war and all."
Well, this election, like all elections, is about that
little girl, and all the kids in Findlay, in Lima, and all the kids
in America. And if we do what is right today, we can take advantage
of the opportunity of our global victory. And we can build a land
where they will be safe, and strong and secure, where they can climb
the flagpole of opportunity -- and put their hands over their hearts
with pride -- knowing that in their land, the sun is always just
peeking out over the horizon.

What a world of change we've seen these past three and a
half years -- a world made new by American strength and American
principles.
Now, that the Cold War is over, the defining challenge of
the 90's is to win the peace -- to win the competition of the new
global economy. //
Our goal is simple and straightforward: In the 21st

Whether it's toothpaste from Proctor and Gambles -- or the

or the worker re-training tax he wants to shake out of your

Or the carbon tax he wants to put on your cars.
I'm talking about a new idea he calls the "transaction tax"
-- a tax on foreign countries doing business in the U.S.
Now, maybe you'll say: What's wrong with that -- at least
this is one tax Bill Clinton won't make us pay for. //

companies right here in Tall Timbers. Because these companies
may be foreign owned -- but the jobs are American jobs. Those
jobs put a paycheck in your pocket / put the food on your table /
put you on track for a better future. //
My opponent's "transaction tax" is really a chain reaction
tax -- one that triggers an economic domino effect that ends by
costing workers like you your jobs.
Look at Findlay -- even here: an American owned company,

Findlay sells to a number of companies that are American-based
but foreign-owned. If my opponent had his way, and your
customers get hit by his tax, when they start to retrench -- when
they cancel orders -- who gets hurt? That's easy -- you do. //
We need to do better by the American worker. We need a
policy that creates jobs -- not a tax machine that spits out pink
slips. Not a program that takes a shot at the foreign
nice
competition, and hits the American worker on the ricochet.
//
We need what I've got: A coherent strategy -- one that sees
that in today's world, foreign policy, domestic policy and
economic policy are three sides of a single issue. A strategy
that reaches out to the world in a way that makes a difference
right here in Findlay -- in your neighborhoods, in your lives.

And I think that in the 90's, government can add to this
growth program by building opportunity and hope for individuals,
empowering families and communities. //
This afternoon, let me lay out the cornerstones -- let me
tell you what it takes to play hard and win in this international
economy:
It takes an aggressive strategy to open new markets the
world over for American goods. I'm fighting for free and fair

So that "Made in America" is understood in any

Playing to win in the world economy will take new initatives

century is being fought out in the classroom today. We've got to
bring competition to^-- give parents, not the government, power
to choose their children's schools: public, private or
religious. School choice will be a catalyst for change: Because
American can't be a first-class economy with second class
schools. //
It takes a gut-level commitment to less government spending.
We've put 246 federal programs and more than 4000 projects on my
hit-list for wasteful government spending.
To get our economy moving we've got to get the deficit under
control. And here, I think the American people can help.
When I hear the editorialists and the liberal elite sneer at
my idea to let people dedicate 10 percent of their taxes to the
deficit -- then I know we're onto something. Because I don't
think it's a joke to give the American people the power to pay
down the deficit instead of giving Congress more money to burn.
6
I think it's a powerful message to the men and women America
sends to Washington to represent not only us, but our children
and grandchildren. //
But you can do more than send a message -- come November
3rd, you can send me a Congress I can work with. And if you say:
Give me one good reason you'll get Congress to act --I'll give
you 150. That's the number of new faces we'll see next year in
the Congress. Now -- I'll be candid. I want every last one of
them to be Republican. / But whatever party they come from --
even if they were first elected before you were born -- they'll
come back with a new appreciation for what you want: a complete
set of instructions from the American people that it's time for
Congress to change. //
And when that new Congress comes to town -- I'll be ready.
Ready
to act ... ready to do the will of the American people.
Ready to move on my aggressive agenda for economic growth -- an
agenda that builds a more secure America, a stronger America --
at home and abroad. //
Thank you once again for this warm welcome -- for all your
support -- and may God bless the United States of America.

Thank you [Gov. Voinovich] for those kind words -- and
thanks, all of you, for that warm welcome. Mr. Mayor [Kieth
Romick]. Home-town Representative Mike Oxley -- and his
colleagues Paul Gillmore, Ralph Regula and Dave Hobson.
It's great to be here in Findlay -- Flag City, U.S.A.

flying -- but let me assure Jim Woodward, every flag I did see
looked great to me. //
I know Findlay takes its patriotism seriously. I heard that
a few years back, some rascals came into town with the idea of
making a show by burning the flag. Well, they came to the wrong
town. Actually, they were lucky -- they got arrested. //
It's a time of great pride for our flag -- and for the
values .... Now that the Cold War is over, the defining
challenge of the 90's is to win the peace -- to win the
competition of the new global economy. //
Our goal is simple and straightforward: In the 21st
Century, America must be not only a military superpower, but an
economic superpower -- an export superpower.
In this election, you'll hear two versions of how to do
this: My opponent's answer is to look inward -- to pretend we
can protect what we already have. Ours is to look forward --
2
open new markets, prepare our people to compete, restore the
social fabric, to save and invest -- so that, when it comes to
the global competition -- America will win. //
Already, Findlay is rising to the challenge. When I visited
here four years ago, this spot where we're standing was a forest.
Today, Tall Timbers is a testament to the transforming power of
the international economy -- a living, working blueprint for how
America can compete, and take the gold medal in the global
economic Olympics. // There's a lot at stake for Ohio. Right
now 1 in every 7 jobs -- 1 in 7 jobs from Findlay to [Freemont] -
- is tied to foreign trade. //
Whether it's toothpaste from Proctor and Gamble -- or the
465 M1A2 tanks built in Lima for sale to Saudi Arabia: exports
equal paychecks for the people of Ohio.
That's why I want to talk today about a dangerous idea
embraced by my opponent -- a new tax he's taken to heart.
No
...
I'm not talking about the $150 billion dollars my
opponent wants in new taxes.
No
I'm not talking about the new payroll tax he wants to
carve out of your paychecks to pay for a government take-over of
health care.
Or the worker re-training tax he wants to shake out of your
wallets
...
or the carbon tax he wants to put on your cars.
I'm talking about a new idea he calls the "transaction tax"
-- a tax on foreign countries doing business in the U.S.
3
Now, maybe you'll say: What's wrong with that -- at least
this is one tax Bill Clinton won't make us pay for. //
Well, you should care -- and I'll tell you why. You'll feel
the impact up and down these loading docks -- starting with seven
companies right here in Tall Timbers. Because these companies
may be foreign owned -- but the jobs are American jobs. Those
jobs put a paycheck in your pocket / put the food on your table /
put you on track for a better future. //
My opponent's "transaction tax" is really a chain reaction
tax -- one that triggers an economic domino effect that ends by
costing workers like you your jobs.
Look at Findlay -- even here: an American owned company,
selling what it makes here in the U.S. But [Joe Kirk] tells me
FMT sells to a number of companies that are American-based but
foreign-owned. If my opponent had his way, and your customers
get hit by his tax, when they start to retrench -- when they
cancel orders -- who gets hurt? You do. //
We need to do better by the American worker. We need a
policy that creates jobs -- not a tax machine that spits out pink
slips. Not a program that takes a shot at the foreign
competition, and hits the American worker on the ricochet. //
We need what I offer: A coherent strategy -- one that sees
that in today's world -- foreign policy, domestic policy and
economic policy are three sides of a single issue. A strategy
that reaches out to the world in a way that makes a difference
right here in Findlay -- in your neighborhoods, in your lives.
4
We must build on the fundamentals of lower tax rates, limits
on government spending, less red tape and regulation -- and more
trade, more competition, to generate the growth that means more
opportunity more jobs.
And I think that in the 90's, government can add to this
growth program by building opportunity and hope for individuals,
empowering families and communities.
This afternoon, let me
lay out the cornerstones -- let me tell you what it takes to play
hard and win in this international economy:
It begins with an aggressive strategy to open new markets
the world over for American goods. I'm fighting for free and
fair trade
So that "Made in America" is understood in any
language from Lima, [LIE-muh], Ohio to Lima, [LEE-muh] Peru. //
Then we have to understand, that if we're going to promote
long-term growth in this country, we have to discipline federal
spending and drive down the federal deficit. //
Did you know the federal government is using your money --
to find out whether it's true that elephants really never forget?
If that bothers you, I'm sure you'll be crazy about the study
you're funding into the mating habits of minks.
These are little things -- but they're part of a larger
syndrome. I've put forward a specific plan to do away with over
4000 wasteful federal projects -- to freeze discretionary
spending -- and get a handle on mandatory federal programs. So
far, Congress has resisted my efforts to cut the budget, so I
have a new idea. / Why not give you -- the taxpayer -- the
5
right to earmark up to 10 percent of your tax return, and have it
go for one purpose alone: to reduce the budget deficit?
Economists and editorial writers call the idea a gimmick --
but the American people seem to think it makes sense. When it
comes to spending your money, Congress seems to take the
philosophy of that Doritos ad -- crunch all you want, we take
more. I say if Congress can't control its appetite for your
money, let's just take the bag away. //
Once we have runaway spending under control, we need to cut
taxes -- give businesses incentives to grow. //
That takes a clear commitment to tax relief. You know, we
Republicans have sometimes been accused of thinking every day is
the Fourth of July --- well, that's a lot better than my opponent.
He thinks every day is April 15. It's time to take the target
off the back of the American taxpayer. //
Tuesday, I was in Western Michigan, talking to a group of
small business leaders. I talked to a guy who runs an asphalt
paving company. He said, "Mr. President, government regulations
are killing us." He made the point that when a regulation
doesn't make sense, it's the worker who pays -- with his job.
I propose a freeze on all new federal regulation -- to give
businesses like yours a chance to breathe.
And I'm going to push for our plan to reform health care --
without a backdoor government take-over of health care. And I'm
going to keep working to put an end to the sky's-the-limit
lawsuits that strain our economy and sap our patience. It's time
6
we started caring for each other more -- and suing each other
less. //
These are some of the reforms we must make to create a
climate in which our businesses can grow -- and create jobs. But
the jobs of the future require workers with better skills and
with a lifetime commitment to learning and training.
This week, I unveiled a new plan to train American workers
now caught in industries that are going through transition. The
old philosophy was for government to spend a lot of money on
training centers -- which meant government bureaucrats were
guaranteed employment, but not anyone else. My new plan is to
provide $3000 vouchers to workers in certain industries --
vouchers they could use to go out and buy training for
themselves. //
Improving our schools also requires a willingness to do
things differently. It starts with a clear recognition that
America can't be a first-class economy with second class schools.
I have a program -- America 2000 -- that will bring a revolution
in American education. We've got to bring competition to
education -- give parents, not the government, power to choose
their children's schools: public, private or religious. //
Today, let me enlist you -- let me tell you what you can do
to help me make this reform agenda a reality. / Come November
3rd, you can send me a Congress I can work with.
And if you say: Give me one good reason you'll get Congress
to act --I'll give you 150. That's the number of new faces we'll
7
see next year in the Congress. Now -- I'll be candid. I want
every last one of them to be Republican. / But whatever party
they come from -- even if they were first elected before you were
born -- they'll come back with a new appreciation for what you
want: a complete set of instructions from the American people
that it's time for Congress to change. //
And when that new Congress comes to town -- I'll be ready.
Ready to act ... ready to do the will of the American people.
Ready to move on my aggressive agenda for economic growth -- an
agenda that builds a more secure America, a stronger America --
at home and abroad. //
Thank you once again for this warm welcome -- for all your
support -- and may God bless the United States of America.

SUBJECT:
FINDLAY, OHIO
Tall Timbers is an industrial park in the woods on the northeast
side of Findlay, Ohio. The 13 businesses are not connected; they
are separated by -- you guessed it -- tall timbers. All of these
companies are located next to each other in a forest. Most of
the companies are warehouses about the square footage of one
floor of the OEOB.
Fire marshalls dictate maximum attendance at 1,500, but I think
Advance is going to try to squeeze in 2,000. Four hundred
employees of FMT and a sister company will be there, as well as
about 50 employees per company from the other companies. Also
B/Q friendlies from Findlay will be there.
Instead of crates, we will go with the familliar "employees-as-
backdrop" with the cleaning machines flanking either side of the
platform. There will also be a banner saying, "Findlay, Ohio:
Creating Jobs and Economic Growth for the Future."

OHIO'S 1991 EXPORTS TO MEXICO WERE $582 MILLION
Ohio's merchandise exports to Mexico grew 137 percent from 1987 to 1991, rising from
$245 million to $582 million. This percentage increase far exceeded 1987-91 growth in
Ohio's exports to the rest of the world (67 percent), and was slightly above growth in total
U.S. exports to Mexico (128 percent).
During 1990-91, Ohio's exports to Mexico grew 31 percent--well above the 17 percent
growth in total U.S. exports to Mexico over the period.
Ohio in 1991 ranked ninth among all 50 states and the District of Columbia in the
value of exports to Mexico.
Mexico in 1991 ranked sixth among Ohio's 177 export markets. This was up from 1987,
when Mexico ranked seventh among the 150 foreign markets to which the state shipped
products in that year.
The share of Ohio's exports purchased by Mexico has increased in recent years. In
1991, the state shipped 3.4 percent of its exports to Mexico, up from 2.4 percent in 1987.
Ohio's exports to Mexico in 1991 were diverse, led by the following industries: industrial
machinery & computers ($184 million), chemical products ($103 million), rubber & plastic
products ($48 million), electric & electronic equipment ($45 million), and transportation
equipment ($40 million). These five industries together accounted for 72 percent of the
state's total merchandise exports to Mexico in 1991.
Ohio boosted exports of a range of manufactured products to Mexico from 1987 to
1991. Categories that recorded strong growth included: industrial machinery and
computers (from $69 million to $184 million), refined petroleum products (from $715
thousand to $19 million), and paper products (from $1.7 million to $25 million).

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 18 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 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
- 3 -
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' 11 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 1s :
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
4>
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
new, nongridlocked Congress that is fouling up everthing in this
country. (Applause.)
And so 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 do 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
(Ppplause.)

Tall Timbers Industrial Center has thirteen industries and
employe 1,500-1,800 people. There are six American firms, six
Japanese firms and one Canadian owned. or the 209 acres that ware
zones, 203.22 acrus have been sold and this has created over 2,000
manufacturing jobs since Tall Timbers' incaption. When President
much last visited Finclay in 1988, Tall Timbers was a concept and
a seybean field, which in four years has become a tangible success
story. Moreover, there have been no federal or state money used in
the construction of Tall Timbers.
or the thirteen industries within Tall Timbers Industrial Park
I propose the President give a speech at Findlay's Machine and
Tool, Inc. Findlay Machine and Tool is an American owned firm that
manufactures machines which clean machine parts, They design and
construct these industrial washers (about the size of a mini-van)
from scratch. Their machines use steam and environmentally sound
detargants rather than chemicals.
They also custom build machine parts. On site is . large
steel dye rack built for a local company in Findlay. Another
customer is Phillips steel and Worthington Steel. Findley Machine
and Tool manufactures steel bands which are used to hold television
export
picture tubes to the set itself.
Findlay Machine and Tool is only 2 1/2 years old. A few
nonths ago they expanded to their second phase by adding on a
several thousand square foot plant. Its American owner, Joe xirk,
also owns a company called OHN Corp., an environmental firm that
cleans up hasardous waste. Locally, they have a very good
reputation with environmantalists.

I propose the event site be constructed in the phase-one plant

a standing crowd of over 10,000. Nowever, the area in around the
stage should be primarily made up of the employees of Tall Timbers
and other businesses in Findlay,
Unlike a few of the other firms, this site does not offer a
natural, industrieus backdrop, but rather, one that would have to
be constructed. The large machine washers may be able to be moved
to flank the stage along with stacks of crates holding steel bands.

larger room. The everflow room is also large enough to hold the

The lime could have an enclosed arrival in an adjoining plant
which is accessible from the main parking let. There ,in plenty of
room to bring in the secure package of cars and still allow for a
hold and off-stage announce area.
There are several options for a landing sone. Virtually all
the businesses in Tall Timbers Park have large payed parking lots.
The lot behind the Tall Timbers Distribution Center probably offers
the mest space and security (it is enclosed on three sides).
The Republican Mayor of Findlay, Keith Remick, has served for
9 years and vas in attendance for President Sush's rally in 1988.
He understands ve wast the President to address primarily the

support in Findlay and ve could make the event as big or as small
as possible.
other potential sites:

are a manufacturer of molded packaging, a Fancy them for styrofoam.
Environmentally, styrefoam is considered politically insorrect.
That aspect alone could overshadow the President's real message of
jobs and economic growth.
Form Forge Machinery: Another good site visually (large cranes,
lathes, drill presses, ste.). They are in the Business of
remanufacturing older and out-of-date machines. Would be a good
site for just employees. Logistically not as convenient as others
because there is a lot of permanent machinery, not much room for
