PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: LUNCH WITH ELECTED GOP WOMEN OFFICIALS
FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1984
Good afternoon and welcome. It's a pleasure to have you all
here and a real delight for me to see so many good friends and
have the chance to make new ones. I'm glad the Vice President
and Barbara Bush and Secretaries Elizabeth Dole, Don Regan,
Terrel Bell, and Margaret Heckler were able to be with us. And
I'm sure you're all as happy as I am that we have with us two of
the most important women in my life -- Nancy and Maureen.
We also have with us some of the many extraordinarily
capable women on the White House staff. I see women here from
the White House personnel and legislative offices, and I must
mention Trudy Morrison, who runs a program close to my heart --
the 50 States Project. I also see we've been joined by a few of
the men on our staff -- in a crowd like this they sort of stand
out. I don't have time to recognize everyone, but special thanks
to Jim Baker for inviting you all here.
Now before I say anything else, let me give you Republican
officeholders my heartfelt thanks for all the time and labor each
of you has given to the cause that unites us. When all is said
and done, it's not gloss and glitter, but effort and
determination from people like you who make it possible for us to
put our beliefs into practice. And all of you are especially
important, because you demonstrate the Republican commitment to
American women.
Page 2
I was thinking on the way over about a story you may have
heard. It seems a fellow had been in an accident and was lying
on the sidewalk. As a crowd gathered around, a woman knelt to
help him. Then a man burst through and said, "I'll take over.
I've had training in First Aid." The woman stood up and watched
for a moment. Then she said, "When you get to the part where you
call for a doctor, I'm right here."
As women have taken on new roles in American society, the
Republican Party has given them firm support. First the GOP
gave its backing to women's suffrage. Then our party became the
first to elect a woman to the United States Congress, and the
only party ever to elect women to the United States Senate who
were not first filling unexpired terms.
Today the two women in the Senate, my friends, Nancy
Kassebaum and Paula Hawkins, are Republicans. And we have nine
outstanding Republican women in the House of Representatives.
Let me just ask Paula, "Wouldn't you like more company?"
In our Administration, we've appointed many women to
positions of top responsibility -- women like our United Nations
Ambassador, Jeane Kirkpatrick; our Secretary of Health and Human
Services, Margaret Heckler; our Secretary of Transportation,
Elizabeth Dole; and the many women on the White House staff with
us today. And one of my proudest days in office was when I
appointed Sandra Day 0' Connor to be the first woman in history on
the United States Supreme Court.
But just as important, today there are thousands of able
Republican women like you serving in public office outside
Page 3
Washington. You in State legislatures and other State and local
offices are on the front lines of democracy. You have the chance
to put your beliefs into practice close to the people that
Washington just can't match. We look on you as our eyes and
ears -- as leaders who truly know what the American people think
and need. And just as we're eager to see the number of
Republican women officeholders grow at the national level, we're
also determined to see those numbers grow in every American town,
city, and State.
Together, we Republicans are working to reshape America's
destiny. And when historians write the story of these years,
they' 11 find that skilled and talented women played vital roles.
Now I know you've already had a number of briefings today,
and that this afternoon you'll hear about the Women's Program run
by the Small Business Administration, projects at the Department
of Agriculture, and the Women's Bureau at the Department of
Labor. But if I could just take a moment, I'd like to give you
an overview of our accomplishments since we took office.
Just 3 years ago, we inherited the worst economic mess in
decades. Big taxing and spending had led to soaring inflation
and interest rates. Government redtape had smothered
productivity. In January 1981, inflation was in double digits,
the prime rate was at its highest peak since the Civil War, and
growth was disappearing.
When I think of what the Democrats had done to our economy,
I remember the little boy who said, "Mother, you remember that
Page 4
jug you told me was passed down to us from generation to
generation?"
"Yes," the mother said, "What about the jug?"
And the little boy answered, "This generation dropped it."
The broken economy hit women especially hard. Most elderly
Americans living on fixed incomes are women, and these women
found their purchasing power eaten up by inflation. Working
women saw jobs become more and more scarce. Homemakers found
that 12½ percent inflation made it harder and harder to buy
groceries and pay the bills. And the thousands of women who
wanted to start their own businesses saw 21 percent prime rates
slam shut the doors of opportunity.
The American people were fed up, and they cleaned house.
Our Administration moved in, and with Republicans in control of
the Senate, we went to work to make a new beginning. We reduced
the growth of Federal spending, pruned needless regulations,
reduced personal income tax rates, and passed a historic reform
called tax indexing that means Government can never again use
inflation to profit at the people's expense.
To help all Americans achieve economic equality, we reduced
the marriage tax penalty, almost doubled the maximum child care
credit, increased the limits for I.R.A. and Keogh contributions,
and eliminated estate taxes on family farms and businesses for
surviving spouses.
Today, less than 3 years since we set our policies in place,
our Nation has one big program to help every American man, woman,
and child. It's called economic recovery.
Page 5
The prime rate is almost half what it was when we took
office. Inflation has plummeted by three-fourths to only about
3 percent during the past year. Factory orders, retail sales,
and housing starts are up; the stock market has come back to
life; and the American worker's real wages are rising.
Unemployment is still too high, but it's dropping fast.
Last year more than 4 million Americans found jobs, and we had
the steepest 12-month drop in the unemployment rate in three
decades.
Since we took office, women have begun finding the economic
opportunities they've deserved all along. With this recovery,
you' 11 be glad to hear, the unemployment rate among adult women
has dropped from 9.1 to 7.1 percent, and today more women have
jobs than ever before in our Nation's history. The jobs women
hold are getting better and better. In 1983, women filled almost
three-quarters of all the new jobs in managerial, professional,
and technical fields. The number of women-owned businesses is
growing four times faster than those owned by men.
Just as we're turning the economy around, we're bringing a
new sense of purpose and direction to American foreign policy.
Today, the world knows once again that America stands for the
political, religious, and economic freedom of humankind.
In Grenada, we set a nation free. With the help of the
National Bipartisan Commission on Central America, we've worked
to develop a new concensus to support democracy in that region.
The peace process in Lebanon has been slow and painful, but there
Page 6
has been genuine progress toward the goals of internal stability
and the withdrawal of all foreign forces.
In Europe, the NATO Alliance has held firm despite months of
Soviet bluster. Sooner or later the Soviets will realize that
arms reductions are in their interest. When they do, we'll be at
the table waiting for them, ready to go on negotiating from
strength and in good faith. I'm convinced that because we've
strengthened our defenses and shown the world our willingness to
negotiate, the prospects for lasting world peace are better than
they have been in many years.
All of us share a dream. It's a dream of a broad and open
land that offers prosperity to all. It's a dream of a great
country that represents a force for peace and goodwill among
nations. It's a dream of a land where every citizen is judged
not according to color, religion or sex, but on the sole basis of
individual merit -- a land where every woman and man is free to
become all she or he can. And come to think of it, I wouldn't be
surprised if someday soon one of you had my job.
All of us are laboring in the name of that dream. Yes, we
will suffer setbacks. And, yes, others will do all they can to
place obstacles in our path. But if we have the courage to do
all that we can to make our dream come true, then we will achieve
great good in this world and do our duty to our country.
Thank you, and God bless you all.
