PURPOSE
To participate in a photo opportunity with Maryland 1st
Congressional district candidate, Wayne Gilchrest.
II.
BACKGROUND
Wayne Gilchrest is running for Maryland's 1st
Congressional district seat currently being held by
Democrat Roy Dyson. Gilchrest, a community college
guidance counselor and summertime house painter, was
Dyson's reluctant 1983 opponent and lost that race by
less than one percentage point. Dyson beat Gilchrest
by less than 2,000 votes out of over 180,000 cast and
outspent his Republican opponent 6-1.
Dyson's seat was a target of the National Republican
Congressional Committee (NRCC) in 1988 and it is again
this year. Dyson faced some unusual charges in 1988
relating to his administrative assistant, Tom Pappas.
Pappas was accused of male preferential hiring
practices and unusual office working habits. Pappas
committed suicide while on a trip to New York City with
Dyson when The Washington Post revealed these charges.
This year, the NRCC has again targeted the race because
Dyson has not been able to improve his standing among
the 1st district voters. Eight Republican candidates
jumped into the primary contest. This field included
state office holders, local elected officials and
Republican activists. The NRCC and Maryland Republican
Party were at first concerned that there would not be a
strong Republican candidate and even tried to recruit
novelist Tom Clancy to run for the seat.
GILCHREST PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
Page Two
NRCC polling shows Dyson's unfavorable rating to be in
the low-40's and his re-election rate is 25% with 52%
of the voters wishing to elect a new Congressman.
Gilchrest has an 84% name awareness, 45% favorable
rating, and a 11% unfavorable rating. Gilchrest
currently has a 40-39% lead over Dyson.
Gilchrest's main theme is "I don't want to be a
politician. I just want to be your Congressman." His
main issue concerns are the environment and the economy
of the area in relation to the Chesapeake Bay. On the
budget, Gilchrest supports a cut in the capital gains
tax but opposes increases in personal income tax rates.
He believes that any further revenue enhancements must
be tied directly to deficit reduction and the President
should have a line-item veto. Mr. Gilchrest supported
the bipartisan budget agreement, which Congressman
Dyson voted against.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
DURING MEETING WITH VETERANS LEADERS
Room 450
Old Executive Office Building
11:45 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much for coming to the
White House. And I want to single out and thank my fellow Cabinet
member here, Ed Derwinski, who's doing an outstanding job for the
American veterans, in my view. And I understand also that our
Chairman of our Joint Chiefs was over here -- Colin Powell. And then
I think you heard from another right-hand man of mine who's the
number two guy on our National Security Council, Bob Gates;
extraordinarily knowledgeable about what's happening halfway around
the world. And so I hope you feel that it's been worth your time;
from my standpoint, it is certainly worth mine to get to come over
here and to greet this distinguished group.
I'm glad to see Bob Turner, Joe Andry and Jim Kimery from
three of our major veterans organizations. I just met with some
others -- important leaders -- in the hall. I want to recognize Mr.
Orval Hooten, over here, National Commander of the Veterans of World
War I. (Applause.) What I want to do is find out the kind of youth
pills he's taking -- (laughter) -- because he was born in October
1895. Happy birthday, this month, thank you. And thanks for being
with us, Orval. (Applause.)
We are pleased to welcome all of you here and to tell you
how much that I personally, and all of us at the White House,
appreciate your efforts, your organizations. And we support you and
we appreciate your support.
During the past 10 weeks, the events in the Gulf have
reminded us of the importance of a strong America. And the world is
still a dangerous place and America must be ready.
In World War II, the world paid dearly for appeasing an
aggressor who could have been stopped early on. And we're not going
to make that same mistake again.
Exactly 50 years ago today, America awoke to headlines of
another massive air raid in London. The Battle of Britain was in
full rage then. And true, the democracies were battered, but their
resolve was never more clear. And they did, indeed, stand up to
tyranny. And a day later, on October 12th, Operation Sea Lion -- the
invasion of England -- was cancelled. As Churchill said, it was
truly Britian's finest hour. Such courage inspired America and,
indeed, the world which rallied to the cause of freedom and defeated
the dark forces which threatened to engulf us all.
Since World War II, allied strength and resolve have been
tested over and over again. But when we look back on that history of
valor and sacrifice, it is clear that the strength of our arms and
the strength of our will is up to the challenge in the Gulf. We're
ready for that. And we're not alone. Thanks to the efforts of our
U.N. Ambassador Tom Pickering and others, the U.N. Security Council
has passed eight major resolutions setting the terms for solving the
MORE
- 2 -
crisis.
And the Iraqi regime, in my view, has yet to fully face
up to the facts. But as I've said, the annexation of Kuwait will not
be permitted to stand. And the regime is up against not only the law
of nations, but also the law of mathematics. The numbers are against
them. Today, it's not Iraq versus Kuwait. It's not Iraq versus the
United States. It's Iraq against the entire world.
By waging a war of aggression, plundering a peaceful
neighbor, and holding these innocents hostage, Iraq has violated
every standard of international behavior. And we're not talking
about international etiquette here. We're talking about
international law. And outlaw nations and outlaw leaders simply have
got to understand that.
Here at home, the efforts of you in this room to improve
the lot of veterans has been an important component in the success of
America's all-volunteer forces. Colin Powell -- maybe he told you
about this but he recently returned from a visit with our troops
in the Gulf. And your support is evident in the pride and high
morale found today in the young American heroes serving overseas.
It reminds me of another hero. And it was this very week
in 1918 that Tennessee's Sergeant York captured 132 enemy prisoners
and 35 machine guns single-handedly. And when asked how he did
it, he answered simply, "I surrounded 'em." (Laughter.) And that's
about what we've come to expect from an American soldier. And that
kind of spirit is going to carry us to victory in whatever challenges
we face.
Tonight, as evening falls across America, there will be
candles in our windows and prayers in our hearts. The Empire State
Building will be awash in lights red, white and blue lights to
honor the men and women in uniform now standing watch in the Persian
Gulf.
And like your presence here today and like your good
works every day these gestures show that the folks at home have
not forgotten the sacrifice of our soldiers, and our sailors, and our
airmen, and our Marines -- and I might add, also, our Coast Guardsmen
-- many on duty tonight many miles from home.
So I really wanted to come over to thank you for the
important work in defending our nation's freedom. You've been in the
forefront. You've seen it clearly when others were suggesting that,
given the relaxation of tensions with the Soviet Union and other
countries in Eastern Europe, that the defense mission was over.
Well, as we've seen clearly, it is not over.
And I wanted to thank you all for the support that you
have given to reasonable levels of defense spending because you've
seen so clearly the need to keep our country strong.
Thanks for coming to the White House. And God bless the
United States of America. Thank you all very, very much.

DERWINSKI, AND I UNDERSTAND GENERAL COLIN POWELL WAS
HERE EARLIER.
AND I'M ESPECIALLY GLAD To SEE BoB TURNER, JOE
ANDRY, AND JIM KIMERY HERE AGAIN. AND I WANT To
RECOGNIZE ORVAL HOOTEN, NATIONAL COMMANDER OF THE
VETERANS OF WORLD WAR I. BORN IN OCTOBER, 1895 --
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ORVAL!

WE'RE PLEASED To WELCOME ALL OF YOU To THE WHITE HOUSE,
AND To TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS,
YOUR ORGANIZATIONS, AND YOUR SUPPORT.
DURING THE PAST 10 WEEKS, THE EVENTS IN THE PERSIAN
GULF HAVE REMINDED US OF THE IMPORTANCE OF A STRONG
AMERICA. THE WORLD IS STILL A DANGEROUS PLACE, AND
AMERICA MUST BE READY.

IN WORLD WAR II, THE WORLD PAID DEARLY FOR
APPEASING AN AGGRESSOR WHO COULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN.
EXACTLY 50 YEARS AGO TODAY, AMERICA AWOKE TO
HEADLINES OF ANOTHER MASSIVE AIR RAID ON LONDON. THE
BATTLE OF BRITAIN WAS IN FULL RAGE. TRUE, THE
DEMOCRACIES WERE BATTERED. BUT THEIR RESOLVE WAS NEVER
MORE CLEAR. THEY STOOD UP To TYRANNY.
- 4 -
AND A DAY LATER, ON OCTOBER 12, OPERATION SEA LION --
THE INVASION OF ENGLAND - -- WAS CANCELLED.
As CHURCHILL SAID, IT WAS TRULY BRITAIN'S FINEST
HOUR. SUCH COURAGE INSPIRED AMERICA AND THE WORLD,
WHICH RALLIED TO THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM AND DEFEATED THE
DARK FORCES WHICH THREATENED To ENGULF US ALL.
SINCE WORLD WAR II, ALLIED STRENGTH AND RESOLVE
HAVE BEEN TESTED MANY TIMES.
- 5 -
BUT WHEN WE LOOK BACK ON THAT HISTORY OF VALOR AND
SACRIFICE, IT'S CLEAR THAT THE STRENGTH OF OUR ARMS AND
THE STRENGTH OF OUR WILL IS UP TO THE CHALLENGE IN THE
GULF.
AND WE'RE NOT ALONE. THANKS To THE EFFORTS OF OUR
U.N. AMBASSADOR ToM PICKERING AND OTHERS, THE U.N.
SECURITY COUNCIL HAS NOW PASSED EIGHT MAJOR RESOLUTIONS
SETTING THE TERMS FOR SOLVING THE CRISIS.
- 6 -
THE IRAQI REGIME HAS YET To FACE THE FACTS. BUT AS
I'VE SAID: THE ANNEXATION OF KUWAIT WILL NOT BE
PERMITTED To STAND. THE REGIME IS UP AGAINST NOT ONLY
THE LAW OF NATIONS -- BUT ALSO THE LAW OF MATHEMATICS.
THE NUMBERS ARE AGAINST THEM.
TODAY, IT'S NOT IRAQ VERSUS KUWAIT -- BUT IRAQ
AGAINST THE WORLD.
- 7 -
BY WAGING A WAR OF AGGRESSION, PLUNDERING A
PEACEFUL NEIGHBOR, AND HOLDING INNOCENTS HOSTAGE, IRAQ
HAS VIOLATED EVERY STANDARD OF INTERNATIONAL BEHAVIOR.
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT INTERNATIONAL ETIQUETTE --
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT INTERNATIONAL LAW. AND OUTLAW
NATIONS AND OUTLAW LEADERS HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
- 8 -
HERE AT HOME, THE EFFORTS OF YOU IN THIS ROOM TO
IMPROVE THE LOT OF VETERANS HAS BEEN AN IMPORTANT
COMPONENT IN THE SUCCESS OF AMERICA'S ALL-VOLUNTEER
FORCES. COLIN POWELL RECENTLY RETURNED FROM A VISIT
WITH OUR TROOPS IN THE GULF. AND YOUR SUPPORT IS
EVIDENT IN THE PRIDE AND HIGH MORALE FOUND TODAY IN THE
YOUNG AMERICAN HEROES SERVING OVERSEAS.
- 9 -
IT REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER HERO. IT WAS THIS VERY
WEEK, IN 1918, THAT TENNESSEE'S SGT. YORK CAPTURED 132
ENEMY PRISONERS AND 35 MACHINE GUNS -- SINGLE-HANDEDLY
WHEN ASKED HOW HE DID IT, HE ANSWERED SIMPLY: "I
SURROUNDED 'EM." III Now THAT'S ABOUT WHAT I'D EXPECT
FROM AN AMERICAN SOLDIER. AND THAT KIND OF SPIRIT IS
GOING TO CARRY US TO VICTORY IN WHATEVER CHALLENGES WE
FACE. III
- 10 -
TONIGHT, AS EVENING FALLS ACROSS AMERICA, THERE'LL
BE CANDLES IN OUR WINDOWS AND PRAYERS IN OUR HEARTS.
THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING WILL BE AWASH IN LIGHTS --
LIGHTS RED, WHITE AND BLUE -- LIGHTS To HONOR THE MEN
AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM NOW STANDING WATCH IN THE PERSIAN
GULF.
- 11 -
LIKE YOUR PRESENCE HERE TODAY -- LIKE YOUR GOOD
WORKS EVERY DAY -- THESE GESTURES SHOW THAT THE FOLKS
AT HOME HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN THE SACRIFICE OF OUR SOLDIERS
AND SAILORS, OUR AIRMEN, OUR MARINES -- AND, I MIGHT
ADD -- OUR COAST GUARD MEN AND WOMEN -- MANY ON DUTY
TONIGHT, MANY MILES FROM HOME.
- 12 -
AND so I'M HERE To THANK YOU FOR THE IMPORTANT WORK
YOU DO IN DEFENDING OUR NATION'S FREEDOM, IN KEEPING
OUR NATION STRONG. THANK YOU FOR COMING TO THE WHITE

BRIEFING FOR TEXAS VICTORY `90

FROM:
Edward M. Rogers, Jr.
idor
David M. Carneyp
I. PURPOSE
To drop-by and speak at a briefing for members of Texas
Victory 90.
II. BACKGROUND
The Texas GOP Victory `90 program was established to assist
Republican statewide candidates. The Republican Party of
Texas, under the leadership of Chairman Fred Meyer, has put
together an ambitious plan that will raise over two million
dollars toward the Victory 90 program. Victory 90 is
responsible for statewide phone banks (for voter
identification and turnout), statewide mailings, and other
coordinated programs (media, etc.).
The donors at this luncheon have contributed between $50,000
and $100,000 to the Victory 90 program. Their final
$25,000 commitment allows Chairman Meyer to mail a get-out-
the-vote statewide tabloid to over 1.2 million Republicans
in Texas. This tabloid includes a written message from you.
Senator Phil Gramm has been the driving force behind the
Victory `90 program -- both in fundraising and
implementation. Gramm has assisted the entire GOP statewide
ticket, and his strength at the "top of the ticket" will
help all Republicans in November.

MEETING WITH REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE
DATE:
October 11, 1990
LOCATION:
Cabinet Room
TIME:
1:30 p.m. (60 Minutes)
FROM:
Frederick D. McClure for
I. PURPOSE
To discuss budget matters with the Republican Members of the
House Ways and Means Committee.
II. BACKGROUND
This is the second meeting of the day with House Republicans
on budget issues. The Ways and Means Committee reported out
reconciliation legislation yesterday which is in many
respects consistent with the budget summit agreement. The
basic outlines of the budget summit agreement were followed,
but there are fewer savings in Medicare and growth
incentives and other revenue losing provisions were stripped
out. It now appears that the Rules Committee will make in
order this Ways and Means bill as well as Democrat and
Republican alternatives.
This is a chance for you to hear from our Members on the
Committee and to discuss how we can work together
constructively to get the best reconciliation bill out of
the House.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
IN MEETING WITH HOUSE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE REPUBLICANS
The Cabinet Room
1:40 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: This is what we call a modified --
Q
Photo opportunity.
THE PRESIDENT: -- photo opportunity. Maybe take a
couple of questions.
Q
No kidding. Yea!
THE PRESIDENT: Which I haven't done since -- in 48
hours. What do you mean, yea?
No, but let me just -- I know there's a lot of interest
in you all being here, and I'm very pleased to be meeting with the
members of the Ways and Means Committee Republicans on the House
side. There have been a lot of different plans floating around. I'm
strongly in favor of what's known as the Andrews Summit, or the Rose
Garden Summit agreement, and I'm very grateful to those here that did
support us on that, particularly the leadership of the Republican
side -- Bob Michel and Bob Dole.
It was a good plan. It got done what I wanted done,
which was a $500-billion reduction over five years -- real
enforcement. Didn't get everything I wanted. Had to compromise.
But today, Marlin put out a statement that demonstrated that we have
tried other approaches. One of them included a certain flexibility
on the question of capital gains. But I'm not very flexible on that.
We tried at 31 percent and -- 15 percent on capital gains and income
rates at 31. I will not go beyond that. But some in the House feel
that there's room to maneuver there. My view is, it's going to be
very difficult because our leadership tried very hard to get that and
the Democrats would not yield on that.
But nevertheless, two days ago I said there was certain
flexibility, and that's what it is. My view is that it's not going
to happen and we're going to try to move forward in another approach.
I notice with interest the bill -- that the leadership role in Ways
and Means coming out with a program -- I don't know -- I want to hear
from you -- this is consultation -- as to how you read that. But it
does seem to preserve some of the aspects of the bipartisan agreement
and, thus, it will give us something to build around.
But I want to hear from you all when we get into the
privacy of our talk. But it's coming forward, and we will get a
deal, I'm convinced. Nobody is going to get it exactly the way they
want.
Q
Well, are you going to tell the committee to go
ahead and try to negotiate up to the 31 --
THE PRESIDENT: I think a lot of the people on the
committee felt that they weren't -- I was told this morning -- I
don't know about this group here -- that maybe didn't have enough
MORE
- 2 -
input. So now, let some try. I've told what I want. I've billed
out the broad definition of what we need. And I've said that there's
one question - that there's certain flexibility. But I'm not going
to vary from the terms that I've just spelled out. If they can get
that done, fine. I think it's a waste of time because I just don't
think it can get through both Houses of Congress.
Q Why not? Why not?
THE PRESIDENT: Because it's just not going to get
through both Houses of Congress.
or Well, why not just drop it then? Take it off the
table instead of having --
THE PRESIDENT: Because I'm not going to deny House
members an opportunity to do something that they think can be done.
That's not my role.
Q But what about those who are concerned that it will
take up members' time when they don't have a great deal before the
next deadline is coming up?
THE PRESIDENT: No. We've got to -- everybody's looking
at the time certain, which is the 19th. And that's where the
President does have some say, because I'm going to insist that we
have a package that fits this description.
So the meter is running. But look, I can't dictate to
the Congress -- Republicans or Democrats -- what to take up and when
to take it up. I can say what we're for. And I stood out here in
the Rose Garden and said what I'm for. I'm still for it. Now, if
there's some modifications, I want to hear from ranking member Bill
Archer and from Bob Michel as to where they see us going. But the
broad parameters must be met.
Q Mr. President, you said repeatedly you like the
original budget agreement. But that agreement raised taxes less on
the wealthiest Americans than on middle-class Americans. Why aren't
you --
THE PRESIDENT: I don't buy the argument of the liberal
Democrats. I fought that battle in the campaign. I don't buy the
argument that our proposals favor the wealthy.
Q
These are figures from the Nonpartisan Joint
Committee on Taxation. (Laughter.) You're saying, sir -- you're
saying, sir, that --
THE PRESIDENT: -- answer. I hope it's played in full.
(Laughter.) I will say one thing -- a lot of these figures talk
about tax rates, but they don't talk about the benefits that go into
the whole equation. So that's another very important part of it
that's left out when people accuse us -- me and all our colleagues
around this table of favoring the rich against the poor. It isn't
true. In every campaign any of us has been in, that battle was taken
to the American people, and they came down at least on the side of
all of us that are sitting here around the table, or we wouldn't have
been elected. That's the age-old Democrat cry of favoring the rich.
The American people want to favor growth and they want to favor jobs,
and they don't believe all this handout mentality. So we have a big
difference, frankly.
Q
Do you think you've been damaged politically by this
and called wishy-washy, and flip-flopping --
THE PRESIDENT: No, I don't think so. These things come
and go. The best thing -- we get a good deal, if we get a good deal,
people forget the name-calling and they'll forget the little rancor
and the tension at the time.
MORE
- 3 -
But the other thing -- I'm elected to try to get
something done here. Nobody thinks you can be popular by standing up
and having to take in a compromise ingredients that you wouldn't
necessarily want.
So I'll do what I think is best and take the slings and
the arrows that go with it. I haven't felt too much pressure.
MR. FITZWATER: Thank you all.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
October 11, 1990
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK, 1990
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
Each year, thousands of Americans are killed by fire.
Tens of thousands more suffer from fire-related injuries.
Tragically, the overwhelming majority of these fire deaths and
injuries occur in places where people tend to feel most secure:
their homes.
Although no one is immune to the threat of fire, our most
vulnerable citizens -- older Americans and children -- are at
greatest risk. Protecting the lives of these individuals and
reducing the total number of deaths and injuries from fires in
the United States require the sustained involvement and concern
of all Americans and continued cooperation between the public
and private sectors.
Throughout the year, numerous agencies and associations
sponsor programs aimed at preventing fires that may cause death
and injury. These local and national programs have conveyed the
concerns of our Nation's fire service organizations to the
public. They have helped people to recognize the destructive
power of fire, and they have demonstrated what we can do, both
individually and collectively, to protect ourselves from
becoming victims of fire. All of these programs carry a vital
message: each of us has the ability -- and, indeed, a
responsibility -- to protect our families, our property, and
our environment.
The National Fire Protection Association, which initiated
Fire Prevention Week, has announced the theme of this year's
observance: "Make Your Place Firesafe: Hunt for Home Hazards. "
This theme underscores the importance of recognizing dangers and
taking measures to eliminate them. For example, every homeowner
should install and maintain household smoke detectors; keep
exits clear; avoid careless smoking; and store matches and
lighters out of the reach of children. Homeowners should ensure
that heating equipment is in good working order, and they should
keep heating appliances at least 3 feet away from anything that
can burn. Combustible or flammable liquids should be stored in
proper containers, away from heat or flame, and electrical cords
should be checked for cracks and frays. These and other simple
steps can save lives.
Sharing the concerns of the National Fire Protection
Association, the United States Fire Administration is
coordinating public education campaigns designed to promote
private-public partnerships for fire prevention.
Our Nation owes a debt of gratitude to these organizations
and to all those individuals who are committed to preventing
deaths and injuries from fire, including the members of the
National Fire Academy; the International Association of Fire
Chiefs; the International Association of Fire Fighters; the
International Association of Black Professional Fire Fighters;
more
(OVER)
2
the Fire Service Caucus Institute; the National Volunteer Fire
Council; the International Society of Fire Service Instructors;
the Fire Marshals Association of North America; the State Fire
Marshals Association; and all other allied organizations.
Each year, the National Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial
Service, held at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg,
Maryland, honors those men and women who have answered their
last alarm as volunteer or career fire fighters. On October 14,
1990, relatives and friends of fire fighters killed in the line
of duty and representatives from the Nation's fire service
organizations will gather to remember and pray for these heroic
individuals. This week, as we make a special effort to identify
and eliminate potential fire hazards in our homes and places of
business, let us gratefully remember those fire fighters who
have given their lives in the line of duty.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in
me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby
proclaim the week beginning October 7, 1990, as Fire Prevention
Week. I call upon the people of the United States to plan and
participate in fire prevention activities not only this week,
but throughout the year. I also ask all Americans to join me
in honoring the memory of those fire fighters who have made the
ultimate sacrifice to protect the lives and property of their
neighbors.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
eleventh
day of
October , in the year of our
Lord nineteen hundred and ninety, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and fifteenth.
GEORGE BUSH

CHIEF RAYFIELD ALFRED AND MY PERSONAL FIREFIGHTERS FROM
ENGINE COMPANY 13 AND TOWER 10 -- WELCOME TO THE WHITE
HOUSE.
((As YOU KNOW, ON OCCASION I'VE GOT A FEW FIRES OF
MY OWN To PUT OUT AROUND HERE. 11
- 2 -
MAYBE I'LL HAVE THEM FIX IT so I CAN. SLIDE DOWN A POLE
STRAIGHT FROM THE LINCOLN BEDROOM To THE OVAL
OFFICE.) 111
MORE THAN 2,100,000 FIRES BROKE OUT IN THE UNITED
STATES THIS YEAR, CLAIMING AS MANY AS 6,000 LIVES.
FIRES STRIKE THE MOST VULNERABLE AMONG US, ESPECIALLY
CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY. AND IT ALSO STRIKES THE MOST
VALIANT AMONG US -- MANY CASUALTIES ARE FIREFIGHTERS
WHO LOSE THEIR LIVES IN A LAST-DITCH STRUGGLE TO SAVE
OTHERS.
- 3 -
THEN, AFTER THE COST IN LIVES, WE MUST COUNT
PROPERTY LOSSES IN EXCESS OF $8 BILLION. THESE DOLLARS
CANNOT ADEQUATELY REPRESENT THE TRAGEDY OF so MANY
BELOVED HOMES, CHURCHES AND BUSINESSES LITERALLY "GONE
UP IN SMOKE."
THERE IS AN ARMY OF DEDICATED AMERICANS WHO STAND
READY To FIGHT THESE FIRES, ANY TIME, ANY PLACE -- THE
MORE THAN ONE MILLION FIREFIGHTERS OF AMERICA.
- 4 -
THE ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED IN FIRE PREVENTION EFFORTS
ARE TOO NUMEROUS To MENTION. BUT ALL ARE TRUE HEROES,
AND THEIR HEROIC ROLE IS ON DISPLAY HERE TODAY FOR
NATIONAL FIRE PREVENTION WEEK.
AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, THE UNITED STATES FIRE
ADMINISTRATION, PART OF THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT AGENCY, IS THE NATIONAL LEADER IN
FIREFIGHTING AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE.
- 5 -
THESE MEN AND WOMEN FROM THE FIRE ADMINISTRATION ARE
DEDICATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS TO
HELP FIRE DEPARTMENTS, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS,
PRIVATE BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATIONS, AND EDUCATORS
PROMOTE FIRE SAFETY AND AWARENESS IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
- 6 -
AT THE STATE LEVEL, MANY DEDICATED AGENCIES LABOR
TO PROVIDE TRAINING COURSES FOR FIREFIGHTERS AND
EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS, ARSON INVESTIGATION
SERVICES AND RESEARCH.
AND, OF COURSE, IN VIRTUALLY EVERY COMMUNITY ACROSS
THIS GREAT COUNTRY ARE THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO MAKE UP
THE FRONT LINES IN THE BATTLE -- THE FIREFIGHTERS --
BOTH CAREER AND VOLUNTEERS, WHO CONTINUE A LONG AND
DISTINGUISHED TRADITION OF FIRE FIGHTING THAT GOES BACK
ALL THE WAY TO THE FIRST VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY FOUNDED
BY BENJAMIN FRANKLIN IN 1736.
-
- 7 -
((I GUESS IF ONE OF OLD BEN'S KITES CAUGHT FIRE, HE WAS
READY TO PUT IT OUT.
CONGRESS ALSO HAS A ROLE TO PLAY THROUGH THE
CONGRESSIONAL FIRE SERVICES CAUCUS, WHOSE CO-CHAIRMEN
ARE SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN AND CONGRESSMAN CURT WELDON.
THE CAUCUS BOASTS 370 CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS, MAKING
IT THE LARGEST ON CAPITOL HILL.
- 8 -
ALL OF THESE GROUPS -- FROM VOLUNTEERS To MEMBERS
OF CONGRESS -- CAN TELL YOU THAT THE BEST WAY TO FIGHT
FIRE IS NOT WITH FIRE -- BUT WITH PREVENTION. THE
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION DOES A GREAT JOB
IN THIS ENDEAVOR, WORKING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE SUCH AS
SHANTA JONES, THE 1990 NFPA NATIONAL FIRESAFETY POSTER
CONTEST CHILD WINNER. IN THIS AND so MANY OTHER WAYS,
THEY ARE GETTING THE WORD OUT ON FIRE PREVENTION.

PURPOSE:
To thank this group of defense industry union leaders for
their support of your defense budget priorities, and to
allow the group to express support for Operation Desert
Shield.
II.
BACKGROUND:
This group of defense industry union leaders constitutes a
national coalition formed in 1986. Its members supported
your defense budget last year. In 1987 and 1988, the
coalition circulated a resolution of support that was
adopted by their local leadership around the country
representing a collective membership of almost a half
million workers.
In 1988, members of the coalition testified before the
Republican Platform Committee, and you met a number of
them at that time. During the fall campaign, you visited
several defense industry facilities and visited with
coalition delegates and their members. In December, 1989,
the coalition met with Secretary Cheney and the Vice
President to further pledge their support for the FY '90
budget.
Throughout 1990, coalition members have written letters,
sent telegrams, and called on congressional delegations of
their respective states in an effort to support the
Administration.
Prior to your meeting with this group today, Secretary
Cheney will be thanking them for their support, and
briefing them on the latest developments concerning
Operation Desert Shield.

First, I would like to thank you all for
coming today, with everything that's going on
in the world right now, this meeting is
timely.
Card 2
As you are well aware, the defense budget
that we have put forward is undergoing some
heavy scrutiny right now on Capitol Hill, and
it's evident that some in Congress have
differing priorities.
Card 3
You have been a part of extraordinary times.
We've all witnessed the end of the cold war,
the advance of freedom in Eastern Europe, and
even in the Soviet Union itself. People like
you and your members have worked hard to keep
America's defense the best in the world.
Card 4
Because you and your members have provided
our armed services with the most
technologically advanced equipment, you have
shown the rest of the world that there is no
one better than the American soldier and the
people backing him up.
Card 5
It is these realizations that, in part, have
brought the Soviets to the bargaining table
for the INF Treaty, strategic arms talks, and
the current CFE negotiations, and that are
keeping Saddam Hussein from any further
advances on the Arabian Peninsula.
Card 6
But now is not the time to let up. We need,
for example, to continue to modernize our
strategic arsenal, because the Soviets are
doing the same. America must continue this
effort, to preserve deterrence, to keep the
Soviets at the negotiating table, and to be
able to protect ourselves from madmen like
Saddam Hussein.
Card 7
Sure, there will be changes in the structure
of our Armed Forces. But these changes need
to take place over a five year period, not
all at once, as some in Congress would have
it. The speech I made in Aspen, Colorado,
this last August outlined the restructuring
of our armed forces, and our overall defense
priorities in general.
Card 8
Now, I know that Secretary Cheney has briefed
you on Operation Desert Shield, but I would
like to hear from you. so, Mike, why don't
you start us off.
