THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
October 18, 1991
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
I am extremely pleased that Secretary of State Baker and Foreign
Minister Pankin have announced that the United States and the
Soviet Union are issuing invitations to a Middle East peace
conference in Madrid beginning on October 30.
I myself plan to be there to help open this historic gathering,
one with the potential to bring true peace and security to the
peoples of the area.
As the invitation makes clear, the objective of the effort is
nothing less than a just, lasting and comprehensive settlement of
the Arab-Israeli conflict, to be achieved through a two-track
approach of direct negotiations between Israel and the Arab
states and Israel and the Palestinians based upon UN Security
Council resolutions 242 and 338.
I very much hope that all those invited will respond quickly and
affirmatively so that the necessary organization and preparations
can be completed for this historic undertaking.

WASHINGTON
October 17, 1991
MEETING WITH SENATOR MALCOLM WALLOP (R-WY)
DATE:
October 18, 1991
LOCATION:
Oval Office
TIME:
7:45 a.m. (15 minutes)
FROM:
Frederick D. McClure 70
I. PURPOSE
Senator Wallop (R-WY) wants to discuss strategy on
S. 1220, the National Energy Security Act, which will come
to the floor next week. He will also want to know the level
of your opposition to proposals to increase the Corporate
Average Fuel Economy (CAFE).
II. BACKGROUND
Senator Wallop, the ranking Republican on the Senate Energy
and Natural Resources Committee, will be the Republican
floor manager for the bill.
Although S. 1220 mirrors much of your National Energy
Strategy, it is likely to be amended with an increase in the
CAFE standards. Senator Bennett Johnston (D-LA), chief
sponsor of the bill and chairman of the Committee, believes
an increase in CAFE is essential to passage of S. 1220. He
intends to offer an amendment to raise CAFE to 30.2 mpg in
1996, 34 mpg in 2001, and 37 mpg in 2006. Senator Wallop
opposes increases in CAFE, but agrees with Johnston that
some CAFE increase is necessary for the bill to pass. His
draft proposal adopts Senator Johnston's numbers, but adds
more flexibility by including the creation of a scrappage
program, which would provide CAFE credits to take older,
less fuel-efficient autos off the road.
Senator Wallop has provided Governor Sununu and Roger Porter
an outline of his proposal and is waiting for a reaction
from the Administration.
The Congressional Office of Technology Assessment (OTA)
released a study yesterday which recommended CAFE increases
closely resembling the Johnston amendment numbers. It is
likely that the Johnston CAFE amendment will pass, but it
may not pass by a veto-proof margin.

V. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS

Attachment A: Talking Points
MEETING WITH SENATOR MALCOLM WALLOP (R-WY)
Malcolm, I am committed to legislation enacting a
national energy strategy, but not at the expense
of the auto industry. I question whether this
major segment of our economy can withstand more
government regulation without more unemployment.
--
I understand that Ford and GM will release their
earnings next week that will show continued
losses.
I believe that the Department of Transportation
rulemaking provisions currently in S.1220 are the
most responsible approach to CAFE. Raising CAFE
standards to some arbitrary number can only serve
to unduly burden the auto industry.
Card Two
--
I stand ready to help you pass this bill,
Malcolm, but I do not want to sign a bill with
CAFE numbers included. I ask your help and
advice in this effort.

PURPOSE:
To recognize the 1991 Professor of the Year during National
Higher Education Week. To demonstrate your continued
support of post secondary education.
II. BACKGROUND:
Professor Harvey D. Blankespoor is Professor of Biology at
Hope College in Michigan. He is an internationally renowned
parasitologist whose research in the Sudan and Ecuador has
been directly motivated by his desire to help suffering
people. He is known for his research efforts to eradicate
"swimmer's itch," a problem caused by a parasite prevalent
in 30 states. Professor Blakenspoor was selected as the
1991 Professor of the Year for his commitment to
educational excellence and to his hand-on involvement with
students.
Hope College is an independent liberal arts college of 2,750
students located in Holland, Michigan. It is affiliated
with the Reformed Church in America.
Congressman Guy Vander Jagt (R-MI) is an alumnus of the
class of 1953. Hope College is located in the ninth
Congressional district, his home district. Congressman
Vander Jagt was invited to attend this photo-op but was
unable due to a travel conflict in his schedule.
The Professor of the Year program salutes the most
outstanding undergraduate instructors in the country.
Recipients are recognized for their contributions to the
lives and careers of students, and for their commitment to
higher educational institutions and to the teaching
profession. The program is sponsored by the Council for the

For Immediate Release

STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY
The Briefing Room
11:45 A.M. EDT
MR. FITZWATER: The President is pleased that Secretary
of State Baker and Foreign Minister Pankin will announce that the
United States and the Soviet Union are issuing invitations to a
Middle East peace conference in Madrid, Spain, beginning on October
30th. The President plans to be there to help open this historic
gathering, one with the potential to bring true peace and security to
the peoples of the area.
As the invitation makes clear, the objective of the
effort is nothing less than a just, lasting and comprehensive
settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict to be achieved through a two-
track approach of direct negotiations between Israel and the Arab
states and Israel and the Palestinians based upon U.N. Security
Council Resolutions 242 and 338.
The President very much hopes that all those invited
will respond quickly and affirmatively so that the necessary
organization and preparations can be completed for this historic
undertaking.
I would just add that these invitations are being cabled
today to U.S. embassies in the capitals that they are going to, and
we are hopeful that they will be delivered jointly by the U.S.
ambassador and the Soviet ambassador to the head of state involved.
We will not release the letters of invitation until
after they have been received by the various countries.
Q
Will Gorbachev be there?
Q
Are you going to have a separate meeting with
President Gorbachev while you're there?
MR. FITZWATER: The Soviets have announced that he
intends to attend, and I'm certain that President Bush and President
Gorbachev will meet during this period.
Q
Have all the invitees agreed to the time and the
place?
MR. FITZWATER: At this point, the invitations have gone
out. We have not received acceptances --
Q
I understand that. But I mean ahead of time, has
it been worked out? I mean, is this -- except for the few key
players that know about, is this a done deal for the rest as well?
MR. FITZWATER: There have been general assurances on
the location. We do expect that it will be in Madrid.
MORE
- 2 -
Q
Will the President stay beyond the ceremonial
opening and get involved in negotiations, or is this just a quick hit
in and out?
MR. FITZWATER: We expect that he would be there for the
opening ceremonies; probably one day in Madrid and then on to
Houston.
Q
Marlin, does this assume that there will be no
last-minute snafus?
MR. FITZWATER: Well, of course, as I said, the
invitations have just gone out, and we'll have to wait for certain
for the response. But we are very hopeful that they'll be positive.
Q Who will represent the United States during the
whole conference? Will it be Baker?
MR. FITZWATER: They will be at the foreign minister
level, yes.
Q
So he'll stay there for the whole conference?
MR. FITZWATER: Yes. One more and I have to go.
Q
Marlin, did Secretary Baker actually have to get
Israeli approval of the Palestinian delegation? Did they have a
last-second veto on it?
MR. FITZWATER: Well, he's been discussing this matter
with all the participants in the region. I'm not prepared to go into
the specifics. Secretary Baker just finished a press conference at
the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, and I'm sure he dealt with all
these issues.
Thank you very much.
THE PRESS: Thank you.

MEETING WITH SENATORS DOLE, DANFORTH, AND SPECTER
DATE:
October 18, 1991
LOCATION:
Oval Office
TIME:
1:15 p.m. (30 minutes)
FROM:
Frederick D. McClure 7m
I. PURPOSE
To discuss the civil rights legislation that is expected to
come before the Senate on Monday, October 21.
II. BACKGROUND
Senator Danforth is the chief sponsor of legislation,
S. 1745, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, which overturns eight
Supreme Court decisions, only five of which are
controversial. Senators Specter, Jeffords, Chafee, Cohen,
Durenberger and Hatfield have cosponsored the bill; no
Democrats have cosponsored the bill or introduced their own
bill in the Senate.
In the aftermath of the Thomas nomination, much more
emphasis will be given to sexual discrimination and
harassment when the bill comes to the floor. Many
Republicans and Southern Democrats will now likely support
jury trials and the awarding of damages for discrimination
on the basis of sex.
Senator Danforth may offer you a compromise that will move
toward our position on business necessity if we move toward
his position on damages. Business organizations, however,
are more concerned about damages than the definition of
business necessity. Danforth believes that his six
cosponsors, all but one of whom voted for Thomas, want to
provide more relief for women. Dole is putting together an
alternative on sexual harassment that he hopes all
Republicans can support.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT CEREMONY FOR SWEARING IN OF CLARENCE THOMAS
AS ASSOCIATE JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT
The South Lawn
2:00 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Welcome all to the White House. Mr.
Vice President and Mrs. Quayle, a warm welcome. And, of course, to
the members of the Supreme Court. And may I simply say that Barbara
and I join with you and with all the nation in mourning the loss of
Nan Rehnquist, the wife of the Chief Justice.
Let me also welcome the many members of the United
States Congress that are with us today. Single out but a few --
Minority Leader Dole and Chairman Biden, and ranking member Thurmond
of the committee, and so many others. Members of our Cabinet over
here and so many friends of Clarence Thomas, who have worked with him
here in Washington -- and, of course, I should especially single out
Senator Jack Danforth, a man every American would be proud to call
friend. (Applause.)
And of course, those special guests, the many members of
Clarence Thomas's family here today: his wife, Ginnie, son Jamal
here in the front row. And Clarence's mother, Mrs. Leola Williams;
his sister, Emma Mae Martin; his brother, Myers. His cousins -- it
reminds me of Pinafore -- his cousins, sisters, aunts. (Laughter.)
But that's the way it ought to be. And all of you, some of whom
drove all the way up -- I see a little advertisement over here from
Pin Point, Georgia, to be here this afternoon. (Applause.) That's
600 long miles -- but I've got a feeling they might have driven 6,000
miles to be here today.
People from far and wide -- from all walks of life, all
levels of education and income -- have come here today in testament
to the character of Clarence Thomas. But what brought you here is
also something more: the power of the American ideal -- the values
of faith and family, of hard work and opportunity. These are the
values that unite us all -- that give America meaning.
America is the first nation in history founded on an
idea: on the unshakable certainty that all men are created equal.
When we ask our Justices to uphold the Constitution, we entrust to
them the laws that give life to our principles. Clarence Thomas now
joins the distinguished ranks of jurists to whom we entrust this
sacred task -- who, in the stark and simple phrase of Chief Justice
Marshall, tell us "what the law is."
I said when I nominated Clarence Thomas that this man is
a fiercely independent thinker, with an excellent legal mind, who
believes passionately in equal opportunity for all Americans.
Since then, the whole nation has learned that the passion and the
intellect and the independence of mind all spring from a single
source: an inner strength stamped on his character long ago, when he
walked the dirt roads of Pin Point.
Clarence Thomas comes to the Supreme Court having worked
in the private sector -- having served in state government and in
MORE
- 2 -
every branch of federal government. Each position will serve him
well on the Court sharpening his vantage point on the many
questions that come before him.
These are the man's qualifications. They are not the
same as his experience.
Clarence Thomas knows firsthand the searing hate and
sting of segregation. He knows the cold face of indifference -- the
unthinking cruelty that tells some men and women that society expects
little of them and offers even less.
But Clarence Thomas would not be here today if there
were not more to his story. He's known his share of the joys of
life: the love of family, the devotion of friends, the kind gestures
from people committed to decency and fairness, to justice and to the
American Dream.
Clarence Thomas has endured America at its worst -- and
he's answered with America at its best. He brings that hard-won
experience to the High Court, and America will be better for it.
So let me say to everyone here: Don't be overawed by
the solemnity of this moment. Celebrate this day. See what this son
of Pin Point has made of himself. See how he makes us proud of
America proud of all that is best in us.
In just a few moments, we will bear witness as the oath
of office is administered to our nation's newest Supreme Court
Justice. Before we do, let me say on a personal level, America is
blessed to have a man of this character serve on its Highest Court.
Clarence Thomas Mr. Justice Thomas, congratulations.
And now I'd like to ask Justice Byron White to administer the oath.
(Applause.)
(The oath is administered.)
JUSTICE THOMAS: Thank you all so much. This is
wonderful.
Mr. President, Mrs. Bush, Mr. Vice President and Mrs.
Quayle, Senator Dole, and all my friends and all the members of
Congress, Justice White and my future colleagues, and all my
wonderful family members, friends, supporters and those who helped.
Even as I am joyful at this event, I am deeply saddened by the death
of Mrs. Rehnquist, and I join in the heartfelt condolences to the
Chief Justice and his family.
Since that bright, sunny day in Kennebunkport July 1,
there have been many difficult days as we all went through the
confirmation battle and I mean we all. But on this sunny day in
October at the White House, there is joy joy in the morning.
(Applause.)
I thank almighty God. I thank those who stood along the
road of 43 years of my life from Pin Point to the Supreme Court, from
1948 to 1991. I thank my mother and my father; my wonderful,
wonderful grandparents; the nuns; my relatives; my neighbors; my
friends - all who insisted that I make something of myself. And all
who stood ready to help me do just that.
I thank America for the ideal, the opportunity and the
reaffirmation of so much that is good about our great country. I
thank my wonderful wife and my funny son. (Laughter.) My wife is my
best friend, and over the past 110 days, we have been brought closer
together, our love has been strengthened, and we have become better
people.

Today, now, it is a time to move forward. A time to
look for what is good in others, what is good in our country. It's a
time to see what we have in common, what we share as human beings and
as citizens. It is a time to look for solutions rather than exploit
problems. In the words of Sir Winston Churchill, "Let us go forward
together."
I close this process, this long and enduring process, as
I began in Kennebunkport. Only in America could this day have been
possible. I thank you all and may God bless you. (Applause.)
