PRESIDENTIAL VIDEO: RGA REMARKS
Fellow Republicans, and Americans. I wish I could be with
you in person -- but as you know, a matter of great urgency
requires me to be in Spain. / I refer, of course, to the Middle
East Peace Conference. I know all of you share my hope for
progress in this crucial area. /
Still, I am delighted to speak to you by video, and thank
you for what you've done for the Republican Governors
Association. Our party's initials say it all: "Growth,
Opportunity, and Progress." You have helped make those
objectives, a reality. //
I also want to salute Carroll Campbell for his great job as
RGA Chairman. Like you, he helped elect Fife Symington Governor
of Arizona. This fall, our sights turn to Kentucky, where Larry
Hopkins can become the first Republican Governor in 24 years //
and Mississippi, where Kirk Fordice -- who I understand is with
you -- can become its first Republican Governor this century. //
My best to both of you -- and many thanks, too, to Governor
Tommy Thompson, RGA Vice Chairman, for his role in this dinner's
success. I look forward to working with Tommy and Carroll over
the next year. Together, our party will take its case to America
--- telling why Republicans can best lead this "last best hope of
earth. " / /
2
In closing, again, my deepest appreciation. Now it is my
great privilege to introduce the man who 11 be pinch-hitting for
me. He has shown what Hemmingway called "grace under pressure." "
He has been, and remains, a great Vice President -- and an
enormous asset to the Nation. My friend, Dan Quayle.
