TALKING POINTS
FOR
AUBREY IRBY, PRESIDENT, KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL
- - It has become something of a tradition, and always a
pleasure, to greet the President of the Kiwanis International.
- - I know that last March when I made a plea for Americans to
keep alive the spirit of volunteerism, the Kiwanis International
responded with enthusiasm. Each Kiwanian donated to worthy causes
1000 dollars worth of their professional time. That equals 300
million dollars, plus the 35 million dollars Kiwanis gave in cash,
all put toward charity.
- - In addition to that impressive record, I also appreciate
your commitment to enrich the lives of America's disabled and
handicapped citizens, and your support for Nancy's work in
fighting drug abuse.

PRESENTATION OF CONSUMER HANDBOOK
DATE:
Thursday, January 19, 1984
LOCATION:
Oval Office
TIME:
4:30 pm (5 minutes)
FROM:
James W. Cicconi wc
I. PURPOSE:
To be presented and photographed with a copy of the
"Consumer's Resource Handbook."
II. BACKGROUND
The "Consumer's Resource Handbook," which is published by the
U.S. Office of Consumer Affairs, is an important self-help
consumer effort by the Reagan Administration. It is a
directory of over 1,700 public and private contacts that
citizens can use to solve legitimate consumer problems, thus
saving time and money.
This handbook has proven quite popular with the public: over
one million copies of the 1982 edition were distributed, and
it is anticipated that over 1.4 million copies of the latest
edition will reach consumer households.
Virginia Knauer, who will present the handbook, was on the
White House staff until last year when she was named Special
Advisor to the President for Consumer Affairs. She has re-
located her office from the White House complex in order to
more efficiently supervise the staff of the U.S. Office of
Consumer Affairs.
III. PARTICIPANTS:
Virginia H. Knauer, Special Advisor to the President for
Consumer Affairs and Director of the U.S. Office of Consumer
Affairs.
IV. PRESS PLAN

THE PRESIDENT will be joined in the Oval Office by Mrs. Knauer,
who will present him with a copy of the handbook and briefly
describe it.
VI. TALKING POINTS
During his brief meeting with Mrs. Knauer, THE PRESIDENT may
wish to make the following points:
- Thank Mrs. Knauer and her staff for their efforts in
assembling the handbook, and for their ongoing work
in helping American consumers;
- Mention that self-help projects like the handbook are
perhaps the most cost-effective service government
can provide to consumers.

Remarks by Joseph R. Wright
in Presenting the PCIE Report to the President
Roosevelt Room
January 19, 1984
Mr. President, on behalf of your Council on Integrity and
Efficiency, I am pleased to repeat some very good news which
we gave to you at the January 5 Cabinet Council on Management
and Administration meeting, and good news not just for you
but for every taxpayer in America. Since March 1981, $30.8
billion in fraud and waste has been identified by the IGs for
recovery or improved use of funds. $8.4 billion in savings
and improved use of funds were realized in the most recent
six-month period alone, the largest for any period.
There are several factors contributing to increased progress
by the PCIE: not the least of which has been your own strong
direction and active support of the program and the IGs.
The Council members appreciate your continuing strong support
of their activities, and are proud to have made such a
quantifiable difference in the kind of job government is
doing. Their accomplishments are a credit not just to them
and to your Administration, but to the Federal community as a
whole.
The key to long-term success is prevention - eliminating the
vulnerabilities which invite abuse. We met yesterday to
assure that our PCIE focus for the next year to eighteen
months supports this effort. The work of the IGs in
identifying and eliminating those vulnerabilities has paved
the way for the comprehensive management reforms in progress
throughout the Executive Branch. The IGs and top agency
managers now have a common goal: to attain a better-managed
government that respects the value of every tax dollar, and
is capable of effective delivery of services with a minimum
of fraud and waste.
Great progress has been made so far and the IGs are committed
to acheving even greater successes in the future.

I've been giving the education issue lately -- it's one reason I
think it's especially important that physical education continue
to play a strong and vital role in our schools.
Finally, let me say that it's especially pleasing that your
progress in keeping America physically fit has in large part been
done through the private sector and the unselfish voluntary
efforts of people like yourselves.
So again my thanks and my best wishes for your continued
success.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1984
-- Sorry to be late, but Dave wanted to make a few changes
on my remarks.
-- Dave, this is a bittersweet moment for me. I'm happy
for you because you're going on to exciting new opportunities.
But at the same time, I know we're going to miss you.
-- For the past 3 years, you've served here with
unflagging creativity, skill, and dedication.
-- Your work has helped convey the philosophy and policies
of this Administration to millions, both at home and abroad.
-- Your understanding of the modern media, your skills as
a writer, and your advocacy of open Government and good relations
with the press corps -- all have played a vital role in this
Administration.
-- In your letter of resignation, you mentioned your
abiding love for the institution of the Presidency. Under three
Administrations you've served that institution well, and in so
doing you've served your country.
-- Nancy and I know how much sacrifice these 3 years have
meant for you, your wife Anne, and your children. I want to give
you and your family my heartfelt thanks and wish you all the best
in the years ahead.
-- And by the way, when you're at Harvard, do you think
you could persuade just a few of your students to become
Republican?
