PRESIDENTIAL TALKING POINTS: RICHARD S. WILLIAMSON RECEPTION
TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1983
-- Thank you all very much for gathering here with me to honor
my friend and fellow true believer, Rich Williamson. Rich has
been working with me and for conservative causes for a very long
time. He was a part of our campaign in 1976 and served as deputy
director of the campaign in 1980.
-- As a matter of fact, Rich was the ringleader of a little
group known as the "Bomb Factory" in the '80 campaign, and I
always marveled at how well that suited him.
-- I've relied on Rich for his ideas, his energy, and his
steadfast loyalty and he has never let me down, I know it has
been tough at times. For the last 2 years he has been my
Assistant for Intergovernmental Affairs, and my right hand in our
struggle to restore the rightful balance between levels of
Government.
-- They say that until now no Government in history has ever
voluntarily reduced itself in size, but with Rich's help that's
exactly what this Government has begun to do. We have brought
back the themes of decentralization, diversity, and
accountability to the national dialogue. We've made great
strides with our block grants, shifting decision-making and
responsibility to State and local governments.
Page 2
-- We have accomplished a lot, but we are not through yet. J.
thank you, Rich, for the outstanding job you have done and I
promise you: our struggle will continue until the ability of our
people to control their own lives and destinies is again as it
should be according to the Constitution.
-- Rich, you and Helene are moving to Vienna at almost the same
time, and I don't think it's quite fair. Not only are you
leaving me shorthanded, but you're flying off to such paradise.
You and your family are moving into spacious quarters in the
heart of one of Europe's most elegant cities. You'll have a
household staff to see to your needs, a car and driver to whisk
you around -- all the comforts of the White House and you won't
need to talk to Governor Snelling.
-- You'll miss Penny's support, I know, but we just couldn't
spare the both of you. Mac Baldrige and I need her help over at
Commerce.
-- Rich, like your friends and colleagues here today, I'm sorry
you'll no longer be working close by. But you are leaving to do
important work for our country and the world as America's
Ambassador to International Organizations in Vienna. So,
Mr. Ambassador, we send you off with our full confidence and best
wishes for success.
-- I know Jane and your whole family will enjoy this adventure,
and I hope you will, as well. When you come back, we're going to
have plenty: for you to do. Good luck, and God bless you.
