AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION
ANNUAL CONVENTION, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, JULY 29, 1991
Good morning and welcome from the White House to the
American Hospital Association's annual convention.
Please accept my sincere congratulations for another year of
fine work in your hospitals across the nation on behalf of patients and
the communities you serve.
You are here as guardians of our most preclous commodity -
our health, yet your dedication and service often are taken for
granted. We expect nothing but the best when It comes to hospitals
and health care, and you are to be commended for routinely meeting
and exceeding those expectations.
You are experiencing great change in the hospital community.
Technological advances, demographical shifts, and economic
constraints must be balanced with great wisdom. I challenge you to
continue your fine work and thank you on behalf of all Americans.

RE: Presidential Tape
Dear Sig:
Thank: ou for your assistance in looking into the possibility
of the President offering a videotaped greeting at the opening of
the American Hospital Association's meeting in J.ly.
AHA's meeting convenes on Monday, July 29, at the Anaheim
Convention Center. Approximately 10,000 members and exhibitors
will be present and the President's greeting would immediately
precede the welcoming remarks of the AHA President. President Bush
has the flexibility to address the group in any manner suitable to
the format, and a generic greeting would be quite acceptable. The
greeting need not be lengthy or issue-specific. We would be
delighted to assist you by preparing a short message for the
President to tape.
Please contact me if you need additional information or
clarification.
Thanks again for your valuable assistance.
With fie best regards,
Peter B. Teeley
