THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
March 24, 1992
STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY
The President has decided that the United States will take
immediate steps to establish diplomatic relations with Georgia.
The United States had recognized Georgian independence on
December 25, 1991. In recent weeks, the new Georgian Government
has taken steps to restore civilian rule, begin a dialogue on
national reconciliation, and committed itself to holding
parliamentary elections this year. On the basis of these
actions, and following communications between the leader of the
Georgian State Council, Eduard Shevardnadze, and Secretary of
State James Baker on the political, economic, and security
principles of most importance to the United States, the President
believes that U.S. interests will be best served by having
diplomatic ties with the Georgian Government. The depth, extent,
and richness of U.S. relations with Georgia will depend on the
Georgian Government's commitment to these principles.
With this action, the United States now has diplomatic relations
with all twelve of the new states of the former Soviet Union.
The United States will open an embassy in Tbilisi as soon as
possible. In addition, the United States will support Georgia's
membership in relevant international organizations, including the
International Monetary Fund and World Bank.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
MARCH 23, 1992
ADDRESS TO THE 1992 PUBLIC AFFAIRS ASSEMBLY
DATE: MARCH 24, 1992
TIME: 11:10 A.M.
LOCATION: HYATT REGENCY
WASHINGTON D.C.
THROUGH: SHERRIE ROLLINS
FROM: BOBBIE KILBERG
JEFF VOGTAN
I. PURPOSE:
To underscore the Administration's agenda to make America
more competitive and to spur economic growth. To
demonstrate your resolve in dealing with the systemic,
Congressional status-quo that holds back your agenda for
necessary change.
II. BACKGROUND:
The 1992 Public Affairs Assembly is the major public policy-
oriented meeting in the food industry. Held annually, it is
jointly sponsored by the Food Marketing Institute (FMI), the
National-American Wholesale Grocers' Association (NAWGA),
and its foodservice division, the International Foodservice
Distributors Association (IFDA) and the National Association
of Convenience Stores (NACS).
The associations represent all facets of the food industry,
including: food retailers, wholesalers and distributors,
convenience and family owned grocery stores as well as major
supermarket chains. Together, this group of food industry
associations represents over 4,500 member companies and
thousands more stores and food chain facilities.
The audience of approximately 500 people includes leading
executives from member companies, and represents a potent,
grass roots force. The majority of participants hail from
small, family-owned businesses.
While each of the associations is very supportive of the
Administration, NAWGA has been most active on the Hill in
support of Administration initiatives. NAWGA's efforts on
the Hill have supported Administration initiatives such as
fast track, the Gulf vote, capital gains, the budget
agreement and regulatory reform initiatives.
BACKGROUND: (continued)
The speech provides you with a post-March 20 forum in which
you call on food industry leaders to help you transform a
status quo Congress. Your remarks also outline the
Administration initiatives proposed to address Congressional
grid-lock and will highlight your comprehensive agenda to
build on America's long term competitiveness.
Before your address, you will participate in a brief photo-
op with food industry association officials.
III. PARTICIPANTS:
The President
Mr. Boyd George, Chairman and CEO, Merchants Distributors
Chairman, NAWGA
In audience: Approximately 500 food industry executives.
IV. PRESS PLAN:

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
March 24, 1992
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
TO THE PUBLIC AFFAIRS ASSEMBLY OF THE
THE NATIONAL-AMERICAN WHOLESALE GROCERS ASSOCIATION
Hyatt Regency Hotel
Washington, DC
11:04 A.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Boyd, thank you very much for the good
news -- (laughter) -- and for the introduction. (Laughter.) And let
me just say I am very pleased to be here. And I want to salute your
leaders. First, Boyd, who did the honors here; Bill Eacho, who's
with me; Richard Niemann; and T.C. Goodwin. And also, before I get
going here, I want to single out a former Cabinet member,
agricultural Secretary Jack Block, who's doing an outstanding job for
the common interest so well represented here today.
And I am here to follow up on what I said Friday, but
mainly to ask you to help me change this country, to make it stronger
and maker it better. And as Boyd so generously said, we have changed
the world. We've won a great victory for world peace and freedom.
And as President, believe me, I will stay fully engaged with the
world. We have won the Cold War. And I salute previous Presidents
for their role in keeping our defenses strong; my predecessor, Ronald
Reagan, for his foresight in doing what he could to bring about the
collapse of international communism.
But now is no time to pull back from engagement in
international affairs. So now let's put to work the same leadership
that we used to change the world to change America. And let me tell
you what that means: We'll leave a legacy of productive jobs for our
citizens, with strong families -- secure in a more peaceful world.
And I have a strategy to renew America and to keep our
country strong in the next century. I have proposed a plan to
stimulate the economy without raising taxes and without increasing
the federal deficit. (Applause.) Action to strengthen real estate.
Action to help young families buy that first home -- now. Get it
done now. And I asked for action to create good jobs. One of those
actions was to cut the tax on capital gains. It's not a break for
the rich, it is a job-creation incentive. (Applause.)
But the majority in Congress simply couldn't break their
tax-and-spend habits. And I asked for action to stimulate this
economy -- not stifle it. And I asked for a jobs bill. And they
passed a bill to increase income taxes by $100 billion. And they
turned their backs on that first-time homebuyer by failing to enact
this $5,000 tax credit. They watered down the investment tax
allowance that we had, an allowance that would have sped up
depreciation and encouraged people to buy new capital equipment,
given them incentives to do that. They stifled other reforms to help
businesses modernize and compete. And then they tinkered with the
capital gains tax. But if their plan were adopted, that tax would
still be among the highest in the developed world.
You people know this, but a lot of Americans don't:
Japan and Germany tax capital gains at zero and at one percent. They
don't even have -- in essence don't have taxes on capital gains in
one country and tax it at one percent in another. And we're to
MORE

compete with all that in this highly competitive world.
And, yes, I was disappointed in the Congress. But,
frankly, I was not surprised. And so last Friday, that tax bill came
down and I vetoed the tax increase. And that veto is going to be
sustained. (Applause.) But not just to carp, then I announced
actions that I would take on my own to do what I could to get the fat
out of government, to cut the red tape that chokes our competitive
spirit, and to get this country up to speed for the long haul.
You and I have business experience. We know what the
tax increase would really do. About 80 percent of the revenue
increase resulting from the higher rates, would come from, you
guessed it, small businesses. More than a million small businesses
would be affected many of them crippled by that Democratic
leadership tax increase. Thousands of family-run grocery and
convenience stores are in this category. Small family farms also
could face financial ruin from such a tax increase.
The bill I've just vetoed tried to raise the marginal
rate for small family businesses and farms by about 18 percent. Now,
just think about the impact of this on your own businesses. The
grocery business -- wholesale and retail -- is fiercely competitive.
I know you're being nice to the guy next to you here today --
(laughter) -- but when you go home, why, we'll understand if you go
at each other. And why is it so competitive? You operate on the
thinnest of profit margins - for wholesalers it's often less than a
penny on the dollar.
And if you had to face a big increase in the bracket
where you pay most of your taxes, how would you cope? You'd feel
pressure to cut back on the quality of your service. Competition
would press you to hold out as long as possible before passing costs
along to your customers -- so you might have to eliminate jobs.
Eventually everyone in the business would have to pass the costs
along - and that would fuel inflation.
Those are simple facts of life for people trying to make
a living. But even as millions of American families were huddling
over their kitchen tables to work on their tax returns, the liberal
Congress tried to raise their taxes by $100 billion.
Last Friday, as I say, I vetoed their massive tax
increase. And I sent Congress my first line-item rescissions --
cutting $3.6 billion in unneeded wasteful spending. (Applause.)
These rescissions will serve notice to Congress that the days of
wasteful spending are over. And it is a step symbolic of the power
that 43 governors have the line-item veto. Incidentally, at their
recent National Meeting, the nation's governors, Democrat and
Republican, went on record calling for line-item veto authority for
the President and I need that authority. (Applause.)
Last Friday, as I say, I vetoed their massive tax
increase. And I sent Congress my first line-item rescissions --
cutting $3.6 billion in unneeded, wasteful spending. (Applause.)
Now these rescissions will serve notice to Congress that the days of
wasteful spending are over. And it is a step symbolic of the power
that 43 governors have the line-item veto. Incidentally, at their
recent national meeting, the nation's governors, Democrat and
Republican, went on record calling for line-item veto authority for
the President. And I need that authority. (Applause.)
I'm also fighting for economic growth through actions
that don't need to be passed by the Congress. Some things I need
Congress to do, other things we can do without. Take a look at
government regulation. Day by day, rule by rule, and industry by
industry, we are winning battles against overregulation. We're
winning victories for common sense and freedom.
MORE
- 3 -
Just last Thursday, for example, our administration
announced reforms on nutrition labeling for meat and poultry. Our
reforms will keep our food supply every bit as safe --and I have
responsibility for that -- but we will reduce the burden and expense
of regulation on American consumers, and on our hard-working food
producers and grocers. If Congress sends me any legislation that
would overregulate our economy, I'm going to veto it as soon as it
reaches my desk. (Applause.)
Now, if we Americans are going to hone our skills and
really compete in the years ahead, we've got a lot more to do. And I
want to have us keep our sights on the next American century. And
when I think of America in the year 2000, I think of five strategic
concerns mentioned in my address to the nation last Friday.
First, we must change and renew our schools. We must
become a nation of students educating ourselves throughout our
lifetimes in the best system of schools, colleges and universities in
the entire world. And this is going to take revolutionary change.
Most of our states and hundreds of local communities are committed to
change. They have joined me already in a crusade that we call
America 2000 -- an exciting program to revolutionize education.
Business as usual is not going to help us reach our
national education goals. We need to get behind world-class
standards, new curriculum frameworks, break-the-mold schools,
voluntary national testing. And a centerpiece of our plan is the
belief that schools will do their best when parents enjoy real
freedom and real responsibility to choose their children's
schools -- public, private and religious. (Applause.) School choice
for parents is an idea whose time has come.
Second, we need to make our excellent health care system
more affordable and more available to Americans. We've got the
highest quality health care in the entire world -- but everyone
should have access to it. And we all know the problems: Too many
people don't have health insurance, and health care costs are going
right through the roof. And we also know that the answer doesn't lie
in costly and coercive plans like the scheme to make employers "play
or pay." And the answer certainly isn't these nationalized -- these
socialized medicine plans. Nationalized health care would be a
national disaster. (Applause.)
The way I propose that we help our society deal with
this is based on markets and choice. Just as in education, vouchers
are a key part of my strategy for giving Americans a fairer and more
affordable health care system. And our answer is to change our
health care system for the better, not ruin it. And we're going to
keep fighting for this sensible plan.
Third -- and I know you're going to agree with this one
-- we need fundamental legal reform to stop the epidemic of lawsuits.
(Applause.) You all know the litany. You hear it in your
communities. You hear it in your businesses. Things are so out of
hand that some parents refuse to coach Little League for fear of
liability lawsuits. Some doctors won't deliver babies anymore
because of malpractice suits. Well, just imagine what we could
achieve if we spent as much time helping each other as we do suing
each other. (Applause.)
And the costs of litigation and liability on small
business are absolutely staggering horrendous. You know, in 1989
there were 18 million lawsuits filed in America. Eighteen million.
And that's why I've again asked Congress to pass my civil justice
reform bill which will help people resolve problems through means
other than the courtroom. And it will help put a stop to frivolous
lawsuits and reduce the drag on our economy caused by excessive
MORE
- 4 -
litigation. (Applause.) And I need your help. I need you help with
the Congress to pass this sensible approach. (Applause.)
And fourth, we must reform government in line with one
of America's most important founding principles: strict limits on
the size and power of government. With a federal government that
gobbles up a quarter of GNP, we can't really say we're as free as we
should be. One quarter of all we produce as a nation -- as a people
-- goes to pay for the central government. Now, that's just not
right. And right now, the system is not accountable, effective,
efficient, or even compassionate. And we need government that knows
its limits - but more important, we need a government that works.
We have got to fix a congressional system that's gone
out of control. Congress, as an institution controlled by one party
-- the Democrats for most of the past four decades desperately
needs reform. And I'm going to have more to say, constructively,
about reforming Congress in not so many days from now, at a later
date.
But we can start by compelling Congress to be governed
by the laws that they impose on people like you. (Applause.) Such
as civil rights law; wage and hour laws; fair labor standards. We
must totally eliminate the special interest PACs that give unfair
advantage to incumbents in Congress and say yes to the people's call
for term limits on Congress. (Applause.) My term is limited -- the
President's term is limited And I believe theirs should be now if
we want true reform.
Fifth, we must work to expand our markets. of all the
legacies that I want to help create as your President, few could be
more important than open and fair trade opportunities for our
manufacturers and our service industries and also for our farmers
and our food industries.
Food and agriculture trade is the critical problem of
world trade. The European Community spends more than 10 times -- 10
times as much as we do on agricultural export subsidies. This
cannot and must not go on. And I made that point in a very vigorous
way to a very receptive Chancellor Kohl of Germany when he visited
Camp David last weekend.
His leadership will be vital if we are to break the
deadlock in GATT and concluding the Uruguay Round successfully. And
I know from my talks that he wants to see a successful conclusion to
the Uruguay Round. So let me assure you, we'll be working as hard as
possible the next few weeks to make a breakthrough in GATT. But as
we see it, if there's no fair deal for agriculture, there simply
cannot be a good GATT agreement. Agriculture is the key to getting
this worked out. (Applause.)
And I'm also working to open up the exciting market
opportunities in Mexico. With nearly 100 million people next door,
Mexico is already one of our best customers. And they'll buy a lot
more American goods as soon as these negotiations are concluded. It
is one of our fastest growing markets anywhere in the world. And the
bottom line is: A good agreement with Mexico means more U.S. jobs.
(Applause.)
Last year, our exports around the world reached record
levels, so the more trade barriers we can knock down the better. On
a level playing field, I am absolutely convinced that Americans can
outproduce, outperform anyone, anytime, anywhere. I have that kind
of confidence in the American worker. (Applause.)
On each of these challenges, there are two roads to
take: One is reform, the other protects the status quo. You and I
are gathered on Capitol Hill today because we share a common purpose.
MORE
- 5 -
We're here in the neighborhood of a Congress that fails to heed calls
for reform, that so far has failed to pass a simple but effective
plan to help create jobs and build confidence. We're not simply
going to complain about the Congress, we're going to try to change
it.
And there are hundreds of you here -- hometown business
leaders -- who are the backbone of your community. And just after
this speech, I understand that all of you are headed up the Hill to
visit your senators and representatives. I hope you'll pass along my
warmest thanks to those who have stood with us and urge all members
of Congress to support our long-term economic growth package.
The five points I mentioned here today -- it is just
that important. This will be, for me, my final campaign. And I plan
to fight as never before. I have had the privilege of being your
President at the great turning point when freedom prevailed over
imperial communism; when the Berlin Wall came down; when Iraq's
aggression was defeated; ancient enemies talking peace in the Middle
East; when democracy really got on the move in this, our own
hemisphere. We are helping solidify a legacy of peace.
But I cannot rest and you cannot rest until we help this
country win another legacy: productive jobs for our citizens with
strong families secure in a more peaceful world. Working together,
we changed the world. And now we can change America.
Thank you all very, very much. And may God bless you in
your important work. (Applause.)

PHOTO-OPPORTUNITY WITH EDWARD "MICHAEL" EISSEY
THE 1992 MARCH OF DIMES NATIONAL AMBASSADOR (POSTER CHILD)
DATE: TUESDAY, MARCH 24, 1992
TIME: 2:00-2:05 P.M.
LOCATION: OVAL OFFICE
THROUGH: SHERRIE BILLS ROLLINS
FROM: SICHAN SIV mehane
BILL CALDWELL
I. PURPOSE:
To demonstrate the President's continuing concern for the
battle against birth defects.
II. BACKGROUND:
The March of Dimes is the nation's third largest voluntary
health agency whose mission is to improve the health of babies
by preventing birth defects and infant mortality through
community services, advocacy, research, and education.
The March of Dimes is a member of the coalition supporting
Healthy Start, an initiative of this Administration aimed at
reducing infant mortality by 50 percent in 15 areas within
five years.
This is the second year that the March of Dimes has selected
a child who is now healthy, but whose survival at birth was
at risk. When the foundation was at work seeking a cure for
polio, its "poster child" was a polio victim. Today, as the
March of Dimes works toward its goal of a healthy birth for
every baby, the foundation is represented by a youngster who
is healthy as a result of March of Dimes funded programs and
research.
Michael Eissey III of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, was born
13 weeks premature. At only one pound 11 ounces, he was the
size of a grown man's hand. Michael spent more than two
months in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Michael's
success in struggling against the health problems associated
with low birthweight is representative of thousands of miracle
children across the country.
III. PARTICIPANTS:
The President
Congressman Tom Lewis (R-FL)
Edward "Michael" Eissey III, National Ambassador, 6 years old
Michael Eissey, Michael's father
Gail Eissey, Michael's mother
