THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
September 10, 1990
STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY
The President called Presidents Mitterrand, Mubarak and Ozal,
King Fahd, and Prime Minister Mulroney today. The President
noted the historic nature of the joint statement on the Persian
Gulf issued at the conclusion of his meetings with President
Gorbachev, and pointed out how this underscores the world
community's determination to oppose Iraq's aggression against
Kuwait. All the leaders expressed satisfaction on their
concerted efforts against Iraq and pledged continued cooperation
in this endeavor.
# # #
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
September 10, 1990
STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY
Saddam Hussein's latest statement is a transparent attempt to
deflect the focus of world attention from his blatant aggression
against another country. Such maneuvers have not worked in the
past and will not work this time. The international community is
united in its strong determination to overcome the Iraqi
aggression. UN Security Council Resolution 661 makes quite clear
that all commodities and products originating in Iraq or Kuwait
are prohibited from importation anywhere. It does not delineate
between free exchanges or those paid for. Sanctions are
complete, comprehensive, and binding on all nations. In
addition, UN Security Council Resolution 665, which calls upon
states to use measures as may be necessary to enforce sanctions,
would still apply.
It is an affront to all countries for Saddam to think that they
would sacrifice the principles of freedom and non-aggression for
the Iraqi oil or the oil that he has taken through his naked
aggression against Kuwait. Saddam's isolation in the world is
complete and the world community will not be deterred from its
determination to have sanctions achieve the complete, immediate,
and unconditional withdrawal of Iraq from Kuwait.

NATIONAL MEDAL OF THE ARTS LUNCHEON \ THE 20 EAST ROOM
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1990 \ 11:45 A.M.O
A9:
I'M HAPPY TO HAVE JOHN FROHNMAYER HERE, AND HAPPY
53
TO HAVE JOHN HEADING THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE
ARTS. AND, OF COURSE, BARBARA -- UP HERE TO HELP ME
OUT. ALSO, I WANT TO WELCOME MY NEW CHAIRMAN OF THE
PRESIDENT'S COMMITTEE ON THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES: DON
HALL.
AND THANKS ESPECIALLY TO OUR HONORED GUESTS, THE
ARTISTS AND THE PATRONS OF A SPECIAL AMERICAN TRADITION
WHO GRACE US WITH THEIR PRESENCE TODAY.
- 2 -
WELCOME TO THE WHITE HOUSE, AND WELCOME TO THE SIXTH
ANNUAL PRESENTATION OF THE NATIONAL MEDAL OF THE ARTS.
III
LAST YEAR, THIS LUNCHEON WAS HELD THE WEEK BEFORE
THANKSGIVING -- AND WAS DELAYED WHEN I GOT HELD UP IN
THE ROSE GARDEN, DOING A "PHOTO OP" WITH THE "NATIONAL
TURKEY." 1111
- 3 -
BARBARA AND I AWARDED MEDALS THAT DAY TO SOME OF
THE ARTISTIC GIANTS OF OUR TIME -- ALFRED EISENSTAEDT,
JOHN UPDIKE, KATHERINE DUNHAM, AND DIZZY GILLESPIE,
AMONG OTHERS. 11 AND WITH ALL THAT ASSEMBLED TALENT,
GUESS WHICH ONE WAS PICTURED ŠTANDING NEXT TO ME ON THE
NEWS THAT NIGHT? III THE NATIONAL TURKEY. 1111
WE'VE DONE A LITTLE BETTER SCHEDULING THIS YEAR,
HELSINKI NOTWITHSTANDING 1111
- 4 -
THE PEOPLE WE HONOR TODAY HAVE EARNED A COLLECTION
OF AWARDS WITH NAMES THAT HAVE BECOME THE WORLD'S
TOUCHSTONES OF EXCELLENCE -- NAMES LIKE GRAMMY AND
OSCAR AND TONY, THE PULITZER PRIZE AND THE KENNEDY
CENTER HONORS - -- A COLLECTION OF AWARDS THAT WOULD JUST
ABOUT FILL ITS OWN SMITHSONIAN. BUT WHERE MOST OF
THESE AWARDS WERE AIMED AT HONORING INDIVIDUAL WORKS,
TODAY WE GATHER TO SALUTE THE FULL BODY OF THEIR WORK,
THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ARTS, TO THE NATION, AND TO
LIFE IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
- 5 -
EMBRACING AN ERA THAT REACHES BACK AS FAR AS GEORGE
ABBOTT'S BIRTH IN 1887 -- AND REPRESENTING MANY
GENERATIONS OF AMERICAN TALENT -- THEY STAND ALONGSIDE
THE ARTISTS WHO HELPED DEFINE AMERICA -- NO LONGER JUST
ANOTHER SPRAWLING INDUSTRIAL NATION -BUT ONE OF THE
CULTURAL GIANTS OF THE WORLD.
MOST HAD HUMBLE BEGINNINGS. I THINK OF JESSICA
TANDY, SEWING HER OWN COSTUMES IN A BACKROOM THEATRE IN
Sоно.
- 6 -
OR B.B. KING, TOURING BACKSTREET BARS AND DANCE HALLS,
ON THE ROAD FOR 20 YEARS BEFORE MOST AMERICANS WOULD
EVER HEAR HIS NAME. EVEN THEIR HOMETOWN NAMES READ
LIKE THE VERY TAPESTRY OF AMERICA ITSELF: FORESTVILLE,
NEW YORK. CENTRALIA [SEN-TRAIL-YA], WASHINGTON. ITTA
BENA [BEE-NA], MISSISSIPPI. BROOKLYN AND ATLANTIC
CITY.
- 7 -
THREE WERE FOREIGN-BORN, DRAWN HERE BY FREEDOM AND
OPPORTUNITY, SEEKING NOT TO ENRICH THEMSELVES -- BUT TO
ENRICH OUR CULTURE. AND TODAY, THEY ARE AMERICANS ALL,
STRIVING IN THE CREATION OF BEAUTY.
TAKEN TOGETHER, TODAY'S HONOREES REPRESENT AN
APPARENTLY INEXHAUSTIBLE RESERVE OF CREATIVITY, ONE
THAT HAS OFTEN DEFIED CATEGORIZATION. BUT THERE ARE AT
LEAST TWO CHARACTERISTICS, I BELIEVE, THAT CAN APPLY TO
EACH. EACH IS A TRAILBLAZER, AN AUTHENTIC PIONEER WHO
LITERALLY HELPED TO SHAPE HIS OR HER ART FORM.
- 8 -
AND EACH IS AN ARTIST WHO PRESSED THE VERY LIMITS OF
HIS OR HER PARTICULAR ART FORM, OFTEN CROSSING OVER TO
COMBINE DISTINCT MEDIUMS IN NEW AND VERY DIFFERENT
WAYS.
- 9 -
SOMETIMES THAT CROSS-FERTILIZATION IS SELF-EVIDENT,
SUCH AS WITH THE MULTI-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH OF
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT IAN MCHARG; WITH NEW YORK LEGENDS
LIKE GEORGE ABBoTT AND BEVERLY SILLS, WHO'VE THRILLED
AUDIENCES WITH THEIR PERFORMANCES ONSTAGE -- AND WITH
THEIR LEADERSHIP BEHIND THE SCENES; OR WITH THE LOVE
AND MAGIC OF HUME CRONYN AND JESSICA TANDY, WHOSE
CREATIONS SEEM TO FLOAT EFFORTLESSLY FROM STAGE TO
SCREEN AND BACK AGAIN.
- 10 -
[[MAY I TELL YOU A FRUSTRATION OF MINE. I THINK
BARBARA BUSH IS SECRETLY IN LOVE WITH HUME CRONYN.]]
BUT YOU ALSO SEE IT IN PAINTER JASPER JOHNS'
COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS WITH CHOREOGRAPHER MERCE
CUNNINGHAM; IN THE VISUAL ARTS, WHERE FREDERICK
DOUGLASS WAS BROUGHT TO NEW LIFE BENEATH THE BRUSH OF
JACOB LAWRENCE;
- 11 -
AND IN THE CRIES AND HOLLERS AND WORK SONGS OF FIELD
HANDS WHO LABORED IN ANOTHER TIME, ONCE AGAIN HEARD
RISING ON THE WIND THROUGH THE GUITAR OF B.B. KING.
SPEAKING AT WELLESLEY BACK IN JUNE, BARBARA URGED
YOUNG AMERICANS TO GO OUT AND SEEK THEIR OWN TRUE
COLORS. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU'VE DONE. You HAVE
CREATED SIGHTS AND SOUNDS AND CHARACTERS, CRAFTED ANEW
WITHIN THE HUMAN IMAGINATION, AND IN DOING so, ENRICHED
THE COLORS ON THE CANVAS OF OUR NATIONAL LIFE.
- 12 -
AND THAT'S WHY AMERICA CONTINUES TO NEED AND WANT --
AND APPRECIATE -- YOUR CREATIVITY, YOUR TALENT AND YOUR
DIVERSITY.
INDEED, IT IS YOUR EFFORTS IN THE ARTS AND THE
HUMANITIES -- IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT -- THAT
DISTINGUISH AMERICA AS A WORLD LEADER, RATHER THAN AS
MERELY A WORLD POWER.
- 13 -
I AM PROUD THAT -- AS A PEOPLE, AND AS A NATION -- WE
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE ARTS, BOTH THROUGH PUBLIC
AGENCIES AND THROUGH PRIVATE CHAMPIONS OF THE ARTS,
PATRONS LIKE HARRIS AND CARROLL MASTERSON, OF MY OWN
HOMETOWN OF HOUSTON; SOUTHWESTERN BELL, OF ST. LOUIS;
AND WASHINGTON'S OWN DAVID LLOYD KREEGER.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
DURING NATIONAL MEDAL OF THE ARTS LUNCHEON
The East Room
12:00 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: First, a greeting to the members of the
President's Cabinet that are here today. I want to welcome all of
you. And I'm very happy to have John Frohnmayer here. As a matter
of fact, I'm very happy to have him heading the National Endowment
for the Arts. And, of course, Barbara -- awake now, after --
(laughter) -- a kind of rather hectic trip. And I want to welcome
the new Chairman of our Committee on the Arts and Humanities, Don
Hall, whom I have not seen, but is here someplace -- right over here.
Don, thank you for undertaking this.
And thanks, especially, to our honored guests, the
artists and the patrons of a special American tradition who grace us
with their presence here today. Welcome to the White House. Welcome
to the sixth annual presentation of the National Medal of the Arts.
Last year -- I'll never forget it -- this luncheon was
held a week before Thanksgiving and was delayed when I got held up in
the Rose Garden doing a photo opportunity with the national turkey.
(Laughter.) We awarded medals that day to some of the artistic
giants of our time -- Alfred Eisenstaedt and John Updike, Katherine
Dunham, Dizzy Gillespie, among others. And with all that assembled
talent, guess which one was pictured standing next to the President
on the news that night? The national turkey. (Laughter.) So we've
done a little better on the scheduling this year, Helsinki
notwithstanding.
The people we honor today who have earned a collection of
awards with names that have become the world's touchstones of
excellence -- names like Grammy and Oscar and Tony and the Pulitzer
Prize and the Kennedy Center Honors -- a collection of awards that
would just about fill its own Smithsonian. But where most of these
awards were aimed at honoring individual works that today we gather
to salute the full body of their work.
Their contributions to the arts, to the nation and to --
really to life in the twentieth century. Embracing an era that
reaches back as far as George Abbott's birth in 1887 and representing
many generations of American talent, our artists stand alongside the
artists who helped define America. No longer just another sprawling
industrial nation, but one of the cultural giants of the world.
Most had humble beginnings. I think of Jessica Tandy,
sewing her own costumes in a backroom theater in Soho. B.B. King,
touring backstreet bars and dance halls-- somebody had to do that.
And on the road for over twenty years before most Americans would
ever even hear his name. Even their hometown names read like the
very tapestry of America itself -- Forestville, New York; Centralia,
Washington. Itta Bena, Mississippi. Brooklyn and Atlantic City.
Three were foreign-born, drawn here by freedom and opportunity,
seeking not to enrich themselves but to enrich our culture. And
today, they are Americans all, striving in the creation of beauty.
Taken together, today's honorees represent an apparently
inexhaustible reserve of creativity, one that's often defied
categorization. But there are at least two characteristics, I
MORE
- 2 -
believe, that can apply to each. Each is a trailblazer, an authentic
pioneer who literally helped to shape his or her art form. And each
is an artist who pressed the very limits of his or her particular art
form, often crossing over to combine distinct mediums in new and very
different ways. Sometimes that cross-fertilization is self-evident,
such as with the multidisciplinary approach of landscape architect
Ian McHarg. With New York legends like George Abbott and Beverly
Sills who've thrilled audiences with their performances onstage --
and with their leadership behind the scenes. or with the love and
magic of Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy whose creations seem to float
effortlessly from stage to screen and back again.
I probably shouldn't do this, but I might tell you of a
frustration. Not an overwhelming frustration, but a frustration that
I have. I think Barbara Bush is secretly in love with Hume Cronyn.
(Laughter.) There they go again. (Applause.) But you also see it
in painter Jasper Johns' collaborative efforts with choreographer
Merce Cunningham. And the visual arts, where Frederick Douglass was
brought to new life beneath the brush of Jacob Lawrence; and in the
cries and hollers and work songs of field hands who labored in
another time, once again heard rising on the wind through the guitar
of B.B. King.
Speaking at Wellesley College back in June, Barbara urged
young Americans to go out and seek their own true colors. And
that's, of course, exactly what our honorees have done. You've
created sights and sounds and characters, crafted anew within the
human imagination. And in doing, enriched the colors on the canvas
of our national life. And that's why America continues to need and
want and appreciate your creativity, your talent and your diversity.
Indeed, it is your efforts in the arts and humanities and the realm
of the spirit that distinguish America as a world leader rather than
as merely a world power.
And I'm proud that -- as a people, and as a nation -- we
continue to support the arts, both through public agencies and
through private champions of the arts. Patrons like our old friends
Harris and Carol Masterson from Houston, Texas. A Southwestern Bell
company in the forefront of all of this, St. Louis; and Washington's
own David Lloyd Kreeger. We salute you for the joy you have given to
Americans of many ages.
Thank you. Congratulations to all of you. And now, I'd
like to ask John Frohnmayer to assist me in presenting the awards.
Well (Applause.) done, each and every one of you. Thank you very much.
(The awards are presented.)
