A WEEK IN POLITICS IS AN ETERNITY -- NOT JUST A CLICHE THIS WEEK
Last wJek, while the President was in the Middle East, the
domestic political landscape changed considerably.
As in most
off-ye~r elections, the majority party is expected to lose seats
in both Houses of the Congress.
But there is now extensive
eviden~e that a shift in momentum has occurred.

A Week When Americans Heard A Peace and Prosperity Message about
the Country. The week began with President Clinton announcing
that tfue first estimate of the deficit for FY1994 was $203
billio~, more than $100 billion lower than was projected before
the economic plan passed. The week ended with the announcement
that t~e country's economy grew by 3.4% at an annualized rate in
the third quarter of 1994·which spurred a 55 point rise in the
Dow.
±n between, the public saw President Clinton helping to
lead the Middle East peace process.

�A Week[When Republicans Abrogated their contract on America.
Once Republicans said they would campaign on the contract; now,
they are not mentioning it in their ads, and they're fighting
about it in the press.
On September 25th, House Republican
Conference Chairman Dick Armey told Roll Call "obviously, it does
no good for us to make a Contract with the American people if the
American

Congressman Blll Paxon called the contract "a framework for these
candidates to run on during the final weeks of the campaign."

Yet, o~ October 27th, when asked why a $2 million Republican ad
campaign failed to mention the GOP contract, Haley Barbour said:

A Week ~hen Important campaigns Got Their Footing.
Following a
presidential visit, an important endorsement from Mayor Giuliani,
an editbrial endorsement by the New York Times, and a strong
effort to run a focused campaign, Governor Cuomo now leads the
race ac6ording to the most respected polls in New York.
Congres~man Tom Foley has assumed a stronger position in his race
in Was~ington state. Senator Edward Kennedy, after a
presidential visit, and two successful outings in campaign
debate~, may be leading by as much as 20 points in his reelection
campai~n.
George Stephanopoulos said on Meet the Press that no
Democr~tic incumbent Senator would lose his election.
Polls show
that a 1majority of Americans want to reelect their Congressmen.
And in !the places where President Clinton campaigned in the prior
week -~ such as Michigan, Cleveland, Connecticut and Pennsylvania
the '(Carr, Hyatt, Curry and Wofford) campaigns are now moving
up sma~tly.
A Week !When the California Campaign Turned Upside Down.
Senator
Dianne 'Feinstein now has a strong lead in her race against
Congre~sman Michael Buffington.
After endorsing California
Propositioh 187, the anti-illegal immigration initiative, it was
learne4 that Congressman Buffington hired and kept for fiv~ years
an undocumented worker as a child care provider in his homes in
California and later in Washington, ·D.C. After transporting the
housekeeper to the Capital, Buffington cosponsored legislation
making:it a crime to transport illegal al~ens over state lines.
Buffington blamed the decision to hire the worker on his wife.
GOP Strategist William Kristol cracked on Meet the Press on
October 30th that Republican chances to beat Feinstein would be
enhanc~d by Buffington's withdrawal.
The same day, Los Angeles
Mayor ~ichard Riordan endorsed Senator Feinstein.

. REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT DINNER HONORING GOVERNOR CUOMO
Theimper:i,.al Ballroom

New York, New York.
9:09 P.M.
EDT
THE PRESIDENT:
applquse .)
(
You've still got it, Mario.
(Laughter and·
Among the many.·' things I admire about Governor Cuomo is his
remarkable family.
And here was· his wife saying you shoul·d vote for him
because he Is strong arid slim.
(Laughter.)
Can you imagine !'/hat would .
. happen to anybody else if some·one got up and said, you should vote for
this person because he's got a good body?
(Laughter.)
I mean_, .it was
gr~at;
{Laughier.)
His son·. tells him today -Andrew says in the economic conference
don't speak,very long, dad.
So Mario gets up-and announces it-and then
gives his speech at twice the normal speed.
(Laughter.)I
I watc:h_ed hi!TI tonight and I
Why is· it even close?
(Applause.)
I

was. thinking
I
I
why is this, a race?
I don't /know how many of you saw my fr:1end Ken Burns'
magnificent series on 'baseball -; -. (applause) -- 'but Mario was in it and
he hasn't seen it because he's been out campaigning.· I; m not up, so I
stay home and wa.tch _ba_seball.
(Laughter;) . The only baseball we have
r;ight now.
I
One of the things that is in this.~eried is the scouting ;report
from the. Pittsburgh Pirates o:p the prOmi~ing young center fielder from
St. Johns: This .is what the scqut said about Mario Cuo~o:
Potentially
the best· prospect on the club,- could go all the way if he improves his
hitting to the poirit of a respectabl~ ~a~tin~ average.
He's aggressive;
he plays hard; pe's intelligen~; not easy,to· get to know, but very wellliked by those_.who succeed in penetrating his shell.
Let me tell you something -- he's still the best prospect on the
club, and he ought to be sent· back to the playing field. · (ApplauEie.)
·And his batting average is very,. very_ good .. · .
. .
You know, when Mario was talking about how all of his immigrant

(
roots and do:ing all- that,_, I just was virtually transport_e¢1..
I never get
tired of thinking ~bout .that sort of :thing, about our country.
In a
much more blunt and less eloquent way, Boris Yeltsin_said the same thing
to ~e the other day wh~n he 0as here -- r~ally was the time before last;
we ~ere together.
Yeltsin grew up in a house literally where the farm
animals· shared the living room with the-children.· -He was in a very
qifficult: way as a .cpild,· and he had read somewhere that I had once
lived in·a·house without-indoor plumbing.
So· about halfway this banquet he looked at me· one night and he
said, you know, guys lik~ us don't get to be president_ very often.
(Laughter and applause~)
The truth is; guys like us do get to be
president, or governor, or other things in this country because this is
~a very great· country,' because we've had· lea¢iers like Mario Cuomo.
, (~pplause. )_ ·
I've had a lot of time to. think about t-hl.s governors'· race in
New York.
You know, I admire your Governor so much; I like him: so much;,
I feel that he is my real partner.
Icthink that he'hasgiven you strong
and d:i.scipli"ned and respop.sible leadership and he IS still. full of new "
1
ideas and enetgy.
But I also undeistand what the issues are.
1
You know, I was_the governor of my state for a· good, long whil~,
and .I loved· it better· ·than- anything. And my_ state was smaller, but· it
·was the same sort <::>f deal.
My people had been there since about the
time of the Civil War~
I knew every·c6untry ~ross~oads.
I could still
walk intb counties and·remember the percentage of the vote _I .got in
19?4.
Some people. thought that w?-8 a cl:J_aracter flaw, but I thought it
showed I was good at math.
(Laughter:~
. And I want to tell ·you this s·tory because it was told on me, but
it's something every New Yorker ought to. think about before this
election.·
You know, in rural states ·-- and New York., by the way, is a .big
rural state- with a huge agricultural sector _-c. the state fair is about
the biggest thing that pappens.
I'll tell you how big· it_ is; the guy
who wa•s my chief cabinet officer left my administration and -- well, he
worked for· my successor a while ""'-- and he left to become the head· of the
state fair; he _got a promotion. (Laughter.)
It'_s a; huge deal in a
country place.
"And-so I·used to go out to state fair every year and have a·
· Gover-nor's Day, and. I'd just sit there. And.people would come up and
talk to me and say whatever was on their mind, which often burned my
. ears. '·And after I had completed my fourth term about -- I had. served
three two-year terms and one four-year•term --·and I was _trying to make
up my mind whether I would run for 14. years arid would serve longer than
·anybody -ever had in my state. At the· end· of the Governor.' s ·Day, when I
had· heard all this stu~£~ this old fello0 in overalls came up to me,
clearly in his about his 70s, he looked at me ~nd he sai~~ Bill; are you
going to run for governor,' again?
I said, I don't know; if I do; will
you vote for meJ He said, yes, I guess I will; I always have.
I said,
well; aren't you sick of_~e after all these years? ·He ~aid, no, but
�---.----------------~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-~--~~~~-~~~~-~~----
.
(
everybody else -I khow is .
(Laughter ~-nd applaj.lse. )'
'
'
'
And I looked -- I swear he did: And he said, but, he said, wha.t
do you expect?'· All. you do is nag us to do better; you're on us day and
night,~ talking about what we've got to 'do to-get -jobs;-talking'about
what we've got to do to get schools; just nag, nag,· nag.
He 'said,
nobody· could .live .with that .all the time; he said it just wears us out.
B~t, he s~id, yo~ know som~thin~? . I think it's beginning to work.
That's what I want 'to tell you.-.,- it's peginning t9-work; dori't walk
away from it wheri it is beginning to work.
(Applause.)
_ We have .a partnership riow.
In the last 21 months,·-New· York
State has over i10,000 new jobs; about 1.5 pe~cent.dr6p in the.
unemp;Lo'Yrnent'rate; 3.1 million families "in this state protected by' the
family leave law; 2 million people el-igible for lower· interest college
loans; 900, 000 families got· ta~ :cuts because ,the-y work full time·--<. they
have kids in· the house; they're' -just hovering above. the poverty line;
they s'houldn' t go into poverty.
If· people work and raise kids, they
.ought ,to be able to ~ucceed as pa~ents arid workers.
Thit has happened.
There's a 20 percent increase in the number of kids in Head' Start.
You're going to get 6,100 police officers pnder the crime bill. That's
what we can ~o.·
·
(
But you kn6~ something~ A President cannot do ~nythirig that
changes the lives of people unles_s 'there are p-artners- in the _
governorships, Jn the mayoralties, in the pri~ate sector, on every
stre~t -- peo~le who care about people, who know their ·people, and who
will get things done.
Now, that is why you should reelect this
Gov~rnor .. It 'is clear that we have a partnership· __ (applause)
that
can n;take a·difference for the people in New York.
(Applause.)
A governor is at his best _or her best i.f the governor embodies
the real qualities· of a state: When I see-Mario Cuomo. talking, I think.
that is New' York.
(Applause.) :And· I like it. ' (Applause,)
And America
likes_ it-.
(Applause.)
·· ·
\
You know, even his opponents could not have ·heard ·this speech
tonigh-t without~. wanting to kihd of tighten -their coats and sit up a
little straighter ~nd throw their shoulders back ·and be proud to be an
· American.
(Applause.)
And that's very important.
(Applause.) So if a ~an .has a good ~ecord, if he's ~ot a'good pro~ram for
the future, if he-understands ,how to get things done, and if_he really
knows his state, and if he'emboqies the character, the_ strength~ the
courage of the state, that's a~pretty good ticket.
·
·
It's interesting today when we spoke at his conference on
~aid something I was embarra~sed I didn't know._ There's a lot
of things I don't know about your Governor., I was embarrassed t didn't
-know this.
I sa:ld that no- matt.er what the President did, ·rio matter what
the Governor. did, no matter what th~ Mayor does, •no matter what the
·
people who are supposed to be heads of great organizations ~0, we had to
change the spirit of this country. And we had to_chalienge more people
=to take ·responsibility_for their own children, their own friends, their
gr6wih~
I
�;
.
o~n neighbors or for somebody else's child~en or friends and neighbors
if no one else ~as doi~g it.
(
·And I said when I saw that·transit polj,ceman come.home from-the
.after being so horribly b~aten by those nine kids, I thou~ht,
· what in the wide world were t·hose kids doing on the . street at th,at hour
of the night? And why didn't somebody give them some better place to go.
to or try to teach.them r:lght from wrong or starid up for what was right
and tvrong? And then, -when I saw today in the paper that th€q:·e w,ere .two
people who put their lives on th~ line tQ help that poor guy at the
teller machine last night in New York I ' I thought I that Is what this
cotmtry' s all about.· And more· people ought to
it.
hospi~~l
do
Now, after.I gave this speech where everybody was clapping, a
friend of the Governor's came up. and said, h~ did the same thing three
years ago; he got out and chased a crim~nal, · trying to do the right.
thing.
That is the sort of person he .is, 'and he would do it again
tonight.
He ·wou:j,d walk through a wall to do t,he .right thing, and you
ought t9 do the right thing and reelect him Governor.
(Applause.)
You know I I 'had 17 pages. of notes I . and L came up here with this .
because Mar;Lo already told you what I did the-last two years.
(Laughter.)
.
'
I warit to say something else, too, about this election.· .It's
not just -- the aiffitulty i& riot just that all the stuff ~e've been
talking about.
Why is there a sort of a tight .anxiety-ridden negative
mb9d in the .country today when we're plainly better off than we were 21
months ago?· ·I mean, we have mo're jobs and a lower deficit; we've got a
governm~nt that's finally doing things for ord:Lnary people, like middleclass- tollege loans arid family leave and immunizing .all the kids in the
COUntry under the age of two • w'e Ire moving toward peace and prosperity •
We've had more advancements in trade.in the last year than we have in_30
years.
And we· have all. of the ·movements toward democracy and freedom
that1 the United States has been involved in :.. - supporting, the election. 1
in South· Africa, the peace process in Northern Ireland,· what is going on
in Hai_ti, what is going on .in the Persian Gulf, arid, .of cours·e, the
. incredible stor-y of. peace in t·he Middle East . against all the odds.
l
This'is a good ~ime, and we are_plainly moving in the right
direction.
So what is-the beef? Why is 1:here this anxiety,· this
tension in the country?_ :r'here are·a number'of re!=l-sOns, :Qut I'd like to
tell you·a few, because dealipg w:Lth them may hold the key. to how this·
·election comes out, and whether people can hear the song that your
Governor sang tonight ,.. -America Is 'song.
The. song lt{e 'alway's respond to
when ~e're at 6ur best ..
.

.
'
First of all, we are dealing with the accumulation of enormous
problems that.have.been ignored ·for a long·time .. All these social
problems tha_t we see t.hat just tear our hearts ou't· when we see that
five-:-year-old kid hung out· the· windo,w and dropped to die, because he
knew it was wr~ng to steal carid~.
That didn't happen overnight.
This
stuff has beeri developing for 30 years -- fbr 3.0 ye~rs what's happened
to the families and.th~ c~mmunities and the loss of hope, and the vacuu~
.
�-------------------------~~-------
(
be~n.created.
that has
Drugs and gangs and guns
that stuff just·fills avacuum.
There's a hole insid~ people's lives, and it just goes ih, b~cause
there Is a vacuum jus,t sucking. it· i'n. to people. The economic. anxietl.es
people feel has been-developing for 20years, where most wage earners
who. ~arn hourly wages _have not gotten a t~ise.
The average work.ing.
person is working a longer work.we,ek today than 20 years_ago. -Arid .the
global economy requires people to change jobs six or seven times in a
iif~time .. 'Those of us who h~v~ knowledge and skills and can learn new
things and can stay on top and dance on our toes, well,.we.tre pretty
secure. Other peopl_e are just scared.
·
And for'12 years, we tried a different approach. We basically
had --:-we were governed by people who .tried t'O corivince.us that we
should hold our government in contempt; that the government would.mess
up a one-car parade; and that we should just sit on the sidelines and
just_ let things happen. And it takes time to turn that· around. And' it.
takes tim~ for people who have beeri disappointed a lbng_time to scrape
away all that and begin to feel, as well as t~ink again, that things
can be better.
Arid t-here ,·s another. big issue here
we are going through a
perioq. of historic change. At the end of the Cold War, th_e changing of
our economy, moving into a new century where all the rules will bedifferent, I honestly believe -- for the reasons·Mario sai4 -- the 2ist
century will be America's best time. ,All this di v~rsi ty we have :-- if
we learn to ~njoy it, celebrate it, reinforce it, it is our meal ticket
to the future, ;because the wo'rld is a. small place:· (Applause.)
·
But every time we go through a' period of change, our democracy
is t~-sted, because people's hopes and fears are at war. Th_ink· about
your own life. Think about the first dai you went to school; the first
day.youwent off to college; the.day you got married; the day you had
your.· first job. Think about only things that had more goo.d than bad in
them, .but were radically different -- you were sc~red to death".
One of those movies always work, whe-re the guy walks down the
and the woman walks down,the aisle and they say, I don't.
(Laughter.)
Because everybody thinks about. it, that's why it works.
And because anytime you put yourself 'o"n the ·line and try a new thing, .it
might not work, and it's . frightening.

So you fight this battle all the ti~e ihsid~, betw~en hope and
fear. ·countries ar~ the same way when they go through big changes. At
t'he end of World War I,. America had done a great thing.
It was the
first time we had ever gone abroad to fight for values and other people
without our own existence being at risk. ·It was a great. thing.
It.
exhausted us.
And what happened? We came home .and we shrunk·up and we
had the rise of the ~u Kl~~ Klan; we had the rise of the Red Scare;·a~d.
we walked away from .the rest of the world and brought O:Q. an
intern~tional 'economic collapse that ga~e rise to fascism and Nazism and
brought the second world war.

At the end of the second world war, we didn't·do that.
But
there were lots bf pre~sures to ~o the ~arne thirig ~- .Joe McCarthy, the

.
lead~rship.
It was tough._ Harry Truman's ~opularity ~as ~t ~0 perce~t
when he dropped the bomb and ended the second world war.
Two years

time, it was at 36 percent by the time people got _throughcworking on it.
~ll of the people in the 80 to 36 crowd, they ali think he ought to.be ·
on ·Mt. Rushmore. Well, I was in one of those families that was always
. part of the 36. We were always for him, and we know; I was raised being.
told.about this.
It waS inevitable.
People were afraid: Things were
changing. ,And_now, you·j'ust· think about what life's like {or theaverage American today, and how the-y get their, -information, and how they
communicate about· public things.

I
What we have to d,o in the next three weeks-all over the country
is go out and say·we've turned this situation around.
The economy's
coming back, the-government's working for ordinary people, the world is
~ore pea~~ful and ~ecure, the opportunities are great,. we have to vote
our·J:Icipes and npt our fears, we have to vote for tomorrow,_ not
yesterday.
That's what we have todo.
(Applause.)

it. · (Applause. ) That is our job.
Eieanor :Roosevelt orice said, you know,' you can spend a _lot of
time fighting the darkness, and there's a lot of dark things to fight,
but the qu_ickest way to .beat it is to flip the light --switch on.
You:
think abo~t thai. You think· about that.
·
What we need 'is more Americans ~ho will go take up .for the
people that are getting. mugged at the teller machine. What we 11eed is
more, Americans· who will put a hand on those little_five-year-old kid and·
give them somebody to look up to. .Wha:t we .rie'ed is more Amer:ica:ns who
wil'l reach out .to those 10-:·or 11-year-old'kids when- they're five s·o
their hearts d6n't turn to stone before it's too late.
' What w_e need _is everybody saying that th,is ·is a very great
_country.
If you have an,y doubt·--·· (applause) -·- if you have ,any doubt,
just· remember wh~t-. happened last weekend when President Aristide went
home to Haiti and -- (applause) --President Aristide went home to Haiti,
and all those people we:re ho_lding those little old sigps in the street
that said 11 Thank you, America 11 in Creole,· and they were looking at these
young men and wome-n in uniform -- our kids who are black, white, brown,·
yellow, Lord only knows_what --a lot of them are;Haitian Americans.
We· got every Haitian American soldier we could find and' sent .
them down there so·somebody.could speak Creole t6 those folks., it was
unbelievable. And just look at their _eyes, and they knew that this was
a good country, standing for. something good, doing someth1ng good,
bringing out the best:
That's t·he ·way. th~ rest of us have to- be.
In
our minds,. we _have to put on' a uniform every day. We have to say we are
not going to let this country.go down; we're· going'up. And·we· are
�certainly not going ~o_le~ this co0ntry go back,·we're going forward.
_And if we have that feeling, that.spirit, then all the facts will fall

He is a national. treasure, but he really is New York's tr~asure. ·- Eve·ry one of you know.
(Applause.)
Every one 9f ·you know.
· (Applause. ) , ·

I kind of promised myself I wasn't going to mention this, but
i 'm' going to.·. Every one of you know that he could have had another job.
:'v"ith longer tenure.
(Laughter and applause.)
Every' one of you know_
that he stayed _·here because he loves/ you, . he loves that neighborhood he
~rew up in Queens:
He canriot imagine walking away from this fight until
·we 'have had·a chance to do every last.thing we can to give every kia in

�PRESIDENT WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON
FUNDRAISER FOR GOVERNOR CUOMO
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
OCTOBER 19, 1994
(Acknowledgements: Matilda and Chris Cuomo (wife and son); Senator
Moynihan; members of the New York Congressional delegation; Former Mayor
David Dinkins; Lieutenant Governor Stan Lundine; Controller Carl McCall;
candidate for Attorney General Karen Burstein; and the entertainers:
Charles Grodin (possible), Rita Moreno, Marvin Hamlisch, Alec and Billy
Baldwin.]
I'm here because of all the things Mario Cuomo has accomplished
for his country and New York, and because of all that he has stood for
in the process.
That being said, I will admit that I have prayed for the
largemindedness to forgive him for some things. First, for being in the
forefront of many of the good new ideas in the last twenty years to
create jobs, improve our schools, change the welfare system, fight
crime, cut taxes, and create world class health care. After all, these
are areas I like to think I know something about.
But most of all I've tried to forgive him for passing up the
chance to move to Washington for a job I had for him, so he could stay
here and work for the people and the state he loves so much. He's a man
of national and international stature who has never forgotten where he
came from or why he entered public service. His re-election will
reflect all the hopefulness, energy and intellect we must bring to the
new era we are entering.
I went to Washington 20 months ago to do many of the things he
has tried to do. To move us forward and bring us together. To bring
the economy back, make government work for regular people, and empower
individual Americans to take responsibility for their future.
Tonight I ask you to remember the mess we were in when we got to
Washington, the opposition we got from the other Party on every issue,
the progress we have made and the stakes in continuing to move forward
in partnership with men like Governor Cuomo.
We regrettably live in a partisan time. And this will continue
until the voices of unity and community that have animated the public
service of Governor Cuomo and o.thers are ascendent again, as they surely
will be. But the fact is Republicans are running around the nation
1
�taking credit for the economic recovery when they tried to kill it.
They've said no to everything. But now that the economy is recovering
and there are promising things going on in our communities, they're at
all the ribbon cuttings taking credit.
There is a simple question the people of New York and America
must answer. If we're going to compete and win in the twenty-first
century, we must move forward.
Are we going to go make progress, or
are we going to turn around and go back as our opponents propose? That
is the core question of this ele~tion. The answer is simple and it is
this: Together we have made a very good beginning on a very hard job.
America is moving forward again, and we've got to keep going.
When I ran for President we had 30 years of serious social
problems in this country. We had 20 years of serious economic problems
in our country. And we had 12 long years of a single economic theory -Reaganomics, trickle down economics. We cut taxes for the wealthy;
spent more money; exploded the deficit; and tried to buy your way into
tomorrow. We didn't do anything for average middle-class people. We
didn't invest more in their education or training or give them a fair
tax break. That's what we had. And that's where they want to return.
In the last four years of this 12-year experiment we had the
slowest four years of e~onomic growth since the Great Depression. Now
they say Bill Clinton's had 20 months, let's throw them all out.
Nevermind that the economy's coming back; that we've passed bills they
couldn't pass for six or seven years; that we've done something serious
about crime; that ordinary people are getting some attention in
Washington again.
That is the re~ord. We're doing better at getting Washington to
work for ordinary Americans and their families. We passed that Family
and Medical Leave Act. It prote~ts 3,140,640 working New Yorkers, so if
they have a child born or a sick parent, they can be a good worker and a
good family member.
We passed a bill to provide immunization for all children under
the age of two by 1996. We passed a bill to have every state develop an
apprenticeship program so that young people who don't go to college have
a chance to get a good job.
We passed legislation which provided the opportunity for 20
million Americans, including almost two million here in New York, to get
lower interest and longer repayment terms on their college loans -- the
best thing done for the middle class in a month of Sundays.
We've made a very serious assault on crime for the first time in
2
�a generation. We passed the Brady Bill; we passed the crime bill. The
crime bill will increase police on the beat by about 100,000, a 20
percent increase that will be distributed in virtually every community
in this country. We're building another 100,000 jail cells for serious
offenders. In New York alone this could allow for 6100 more police
officers in the next six years, and potentially another $800 million for
more prisons. We stiffened penalties for serious offenders and passed
prevention programs to try to give young people a chance to avoid
becoming criminals in the first place.
Now, the Republicans are telling everybody how tough they were
on crime, when their leadership did everything they could to kill the
same bill that they voted for last year, because this was an election
year. Now that we passed it without them, they want you to believe
they're tough on crime.
They also act like they helped create a more robust economy.
But under trickle-down Reaganomics, the national debt quadrupled in 12
years. While at the same time we cut the money we were spending to help
ordinary people just get to the future.
We've turned this around. We've made progress putting our
economic house in order and this economy is coming back. Just as
Governor Cuomo years ago saved New York families millions of dollars by
protecting the deductibility of state and local taxes, so have we tried
to return a measure of fairness to our fiscal policies. We cut the
deficit by cutting $255 billion in spending. We increased the income
tax rate on the top 1.2 percent of the American people. We cut income
taxes for 15 million American families and nearly 900,000 families in
New York with modest incomes, because we don't think anybody who works
40 hours a week and has kids should live in poverty. We raised taxes on
only 148,652 of the wealthiest families in this state. And every one of
those dollars went to pay down the deficit that Republican presidents ·
ran up in the previous 12 years.
Now the deficit is coming down for three years in a row for the
first time since Harry Truman was President. In 20 months, this economy
has produced 4.6 million new jobs, including more than 100,000 in New
York. We had more high-wage jobs coming into the economy this year than
in the previous five years combined. And the annual analysis of the
International Economists said America was the most competitive economy
in the world -- number one for ~he first time in nine years.
Our opponents also condemned the size of the federal government.
But it took us to get the job done. We've already reduced it by 70,000
persons since I took office. We will shrink it by 272,000 over the next
five years. And we're taking that money and giving it to local
3
�communities to fight crime.
Do we still have problems in this economy? You bet we do.
There's still people who want jobs who don't have them. There are still
too many people who are working their hearts who never get a raise.
This is a problem in every advanced country. But what is the answer to
that?
It's not what they want. Everytime we've come forward with a
good idea to help ordinary people create jobs or move the country
forward, they've tried to stop it, kill it or talk it to death.
Nevertheless, in the first term we had one of the best records of
accomplishment since World War II -- because we kept fighting.
But they helped to kill health care reform. They had $300
million in special interest money helping them, trying to convince
people that our plan, which was for private insurance, consumer choice,
cost controls and universal coverage, was some big government plan. It
wasn't, but $300 million can convince anyone that two and two is five.
Let me tell you what they did on health care reform, in their
own words, not mine. A Republican Congressman from Iowa was so
frustrated, he said in the newspaper, we have been ordered by our leader
not to cooperate with the Clinton administration on health care reform;
we will all lose our leadership positions if we do. A Republican
senator quoted in the paper saying, we've killed it; now the trick is
not to get our fingerprints on it.
The same is true for political reform.
This week the Washington Post reported they killed campaign
reform and lobbying reform on the weekend. Then on Monday the
Republican leaders got all the lobbyists together and said: "We killed
campaign reform for you. We killed lobbying reform for you. We share
your values. So you give us money and don't give the Democrats money,
or else."
Now they have given you their so called "Contract With America".
350 of them went to Washington to do the bidding of the Republican
leadership. This isn't a contract with America, it's a contract on
America. We've given you 20 months of increasing jobs and decreasing
deficits; of increasing investments in real people; and reducing the
size of the federal government. They've been against it. Now they're
trying to buy this election with a trillion dollars worth of unfunded
promises.
They're going to provide a tax break -- and 70 percent of it
4
�------
--------------
..
will go to the wealthiest Americans. Nevermind that our debt is still
too high: they're going to spend more on defense and they're going to
jack up star Wars again. And how are we going to pay for that? They'll
tell you after the election.
It's Reaganomics. It's trickle-down II. And you'll get exactly
what you got the first time. You will get the deficit exploding; you'll
get jobs going overseas; and you'll have to pay for it with cuts in
Medicare; in veterans benefits; the crime bill will never be funded
all those police that ought to be walking your streets will not be
there.
They talk so tough, but they act so soft. They promise you a
trillion dollars. If I had a trillion bucks to spend on you, I could
show you a good time, too.
My job -- our job -- is to think of you and your children, not
make irresponsible election year promises. The truth is that you bring
a country back the same way Governor Cuomo and the people of New York
are bringing New York back.
You've got to get the most out of everybody; you've got to work
together; you've got to develop people's human potential; you've got to
make sure that the finances are right; and you have to face the tough
problems with discipline. And if you spend all your time going around
just telling everybody what they want to hear and promising everybody
the moon, you wind up in the ditch. That's what happened to us before,
and that's what will happen to us again.
The choice is clear. In 20 months we have made a real start in
moving this country forward.. All you have to do between now and
November to send Governor Cuomo back and to elect your state ticket is
to tell people the truth~
Let me conclude on this note. My staff got me the scouting
report from the Pittsburgh Pirates on a promising young center fielder
from St. John's.. His name was Mario Cuomo. This ·is what they said
about him:
"Potentially the best prospect on the club, and, in my opinion,
could go all the way if he improves his hitting to the point of a
respectable batting average. He is aggressive and plays hard. He is
intelligent ••• Not an easy chap to get close to but is very well liked
by those who succeed in penetrating the exterior shell. He .. will run
over you if you get in his way."
5
�In short, he is a New Yorker through and through.
Tough on the outside. A big heart for those he cares about. And there
is nothing he cares mo~e about than you, the people of New York. He has
shown that. His ability and his commitment have won him the admiration
of people everywhere. This nation and this state are moving forward
again. our opportunities are limitless. Send him back to office, and
together we will continue to build a future for our children to be proud
of.
Thank you, and God bless you all.

FpTURE OF THE ECONOMY: A RARTNERSHIP I:OR GROWTH"

·3:45 P.M.EDT
THE PRESIDENT:. Thank you very much.
For the last several/
months l.n Washington, I'm sort of dis6riented.
I don't know how to
react to that sort of -- (laughter) --·reception. When I came in and
you wer~ so wonderful and warm and you were cheering, I said_to the
Goverrtor,1 I said, well, shall we ~it down now? ~e said, no, nb, no. He
said,. that's part of your problem .. He said, let them cheer'. When they
·boo, you sit down.
(Laught.er.)
·
·
.
.
..when Andrew Cuomo, who, as.you kn0w, is a presidential appointee
.
(laughter) --' wrote his father a note and said,. 10 minutes, don't b'E7.
too long. And then the Governor came up and embarrassed his son by
telling you that.
(Laughter.·)
I wrote a note ori the note.
I said,
Clinton's Eighth Law: Blood is thicker than water; but. the paycheck is
thicker thah blood.,. . (Laughter· and -applause.)
·
I appreciate what Go~ernor .· Lundine said about my: s~pporting
tourism in New York.
I have supported it in two ways.
I ·brought the
.Demo6ratic·Convention here, and I come here; arid then when I come here,
' no one else can get out so' they have to spend money.
(Laughter.) .
I
.
And so you know,- I've gotten to feeling like a thief when I come
to New York:· I ha~e to leave iQ the m{ddle of the:night so I don't
inc~nvenience anyb~dy.
'(L~ught~r.) .But I love tb come, and I am
delighted to be here. And I am delighted.to be here with so many of
you.
I wan~ to say a special word of thanks to Congressman Schumer.
for his work on th,e. crime bill.
(Applause.) Thank you, .sir. And to
Congressman Rangel 'for many things, but especially. for supporting our ,
po'licy on·_ Haiti before anybody else was .for it. .(Applause.) . Thank you,
-s1r.
I
·I appreciate the presence here of my longtime fri~nd Bob Reich·
and the 'other members of our administration who are here, and those who
have beeri here. already., I'm proud that· they are· a part of .·this.
You know, we're kind of•practical people irr this administration.
There are a lot of folks who work in state government and'local
�•.
(
governmept and t~e -p~ivate ~ector who came to Wa~hingtbn~ As a fu~tter
of fact, w~ think it's kind of strange that ~bngressman Gingrich says
his goal. in life is to ·convince you that I am the. enemy of normal ·'
. Americans. As somebody pointed-out to me the other day, before'I came
to Washington, T was one. . (Laughter~)
And we tr1ed. to bring a lot of
,normal Americans to Washington who-would not forget that most of what
counts in this country is done somewhere else; and that our job was to
change the iol~ of govern~ent aw~y.f~om this back-and-forth.pendulum of
eithef trying to solve all the problems or sitting on the sidelines a'nd
~ct as if they didn'·t ex~st.
W~ have tri~d to bring a genuine
. constructive partnership to this country. And I must say; it is a lot
easier iri New York State and-New York C~ty because we've had good
leadership to work with, and :I thank the Governor and I 'thank the-Mayor
for that.· (Applause.)
'
.
r·ffiust teir'you that because I was a governor for·a good, long
while, I. have a sympathy for people who like to.·be- governor for a gooq.,~·
long while.
(Laughter.) :It's the best job I ever had, in som~' ways.
_And, I liked it because it was a< re~l job, dealing with real peoples and
real p~oblems and. real opportunities.·

It\makes a diff~ience
Long before I ever dreamep of running for President, 'though~ it
_was a pra<:;tical option·for me, I read the first volume· of the.Cuomo
·Commission report, And I remember both volumes-very well.-- all the.,
i~eas that they had, all the suggestions-they gave not only to sta~es,
but to our country, for dealing with these problems.
To me, that's what
we ought.to be doing in g6vernment -~ being catalysts fbr hetpjng_p~ople
tak~ responsibility for t'heir own lives and get together in their
communities' and reach across the lfnes that divide them and solve their ,
pioblems arid seize t~eir opportunities . .
Twenty-one month~ ago I went to Wa,shington, determined to do
I could tor restore the economy, to make our government work for.
ordinary Americans again, and to empower people to compete and win in·
the 21st century. ·After ~; months, ther~;s a lot we stilY have to do.
But it is clear .that America is . in bet.ter shape, We_ have more jobs, a
lower deficit, low-inflation, a smaller federal government doing much
more:· We're doing things that make government.work for ordinary·people
--valuing work and family with things like the family leave law;' our
initi~tjves i~ welfare reform; tax credits for working fam{lies just
·above the poverty line .so they don't_fall into the poverty line. No one
who raises kids and wo~ks 40 hours a week should fail at.either ~ask:
Immunizing all the children in the country under the age of two by 1996.
,wh~t
We've made a serious assault on brime. __ You've ~lready talked
about'it'a lot: tet me just say that a .lot of the ideas iri that crime
bill have been pioneered here by Governor tuomo;_ including·the boot
camps and the after-school programs as prevention.
It 1s ·a bill of
�\
.
punishment police and preventio~,· and it 8 a bill which will lower
crime, not bec~use of .what ~pe federal government will do, but b~cauie
of what the federal government has empowered you to do.
1.
(
I
One of the 'things that ,we 'Te doing is hammerin'g over and over.
and over again on'the need to implement this crime bill, every singl~
part of it, in the proper w·ay. · The safe· schools provision, the violence
'against women provision, the victims rights· provision-- a lot of things
most people don't even -know are, in there.· 'If you do them all in New
Y6rk, you will lower the r~te of crime and violenc~, not b~cause- of what'·
the federal government did, but because of what you will be empowered to
d6 with the tools that are in the bill.
I
. We also supported, as I'm sure the Secretary of· Labor has
.
-already said, the idea of -lifetime learning. ·The average 18.,-year-old
will change jobs sixor seven times in a lifetime. Many Americans today
'with good jobs still feel inSecure because they k~ep 'reading about b{g
companies laying people 'off and they're afraid to change jobs 'when .
they 1 re 45 or 50. We have ~o make the~e kinds of changes the friends of
ordinary Americans·, because nothing any· public oft'icial cari do will
repeal the laws,of global ~conomi~ change:
,
But if we are prepared to seize them. and make,them our own, then
all these ch~nges will make life more exciting, more interesting for
.
orQ.inary people~ The changes in work will be an opportunity ,to move up,
to broaden one'. s horizons, not to be undermined or have your family lose
their security or have people lose their ~ense of self~wo~th. ·so this
'•issue of developing
system of ,lifetime learning is 'hugely important in
pr'eserving the sense of· optimism and strength and 1nner confidence that ·
has· ~lways been at the core of.what 1s America's greatness.
a
are working to mak~ the world a safer an~ a mor~
'For the first time since the dawn of -ihe
_nuclear age, Russian missiles are no longer.pointed at the United
States. We have played a major role in tryirig to promote peacein
Northern Ireland, in the Middle East, a~d, of course, in Haiti .
. (Applause.) We have secured an agreement with North Korea t? end that
nation's nuclear program, which.is terribly important,
(Applause.) And
we have told Iraq that we still believe the territor1al integrity of its
neighbors are inviolate, and that ·it must be enabled to-intimidate the
United Nations.
We. also

All 6f this is exhausting work, and sometimes frustrating work
in a world that is ever changing. B~t it is clear to me that the
·.rewards will go to people with vision and ~nergy and discipline and a~
Upbeat outlook on th~ future, and people who. are not det~ried.
Let me just .say today the saddest moment-for me in the morning
was reading aboui the horrible bombing in israel.
The deaths of
innocent civilians by a terrorist d~termined tci ~reck the qtiest .of-the
Arabs and the Israelis for peace in the Middle East.
If you think about
the kind of ~isappointments and obstacles those people ha:~e to fade
every day, find they're still out there determined to sign -that peac::e ..
treaty with Jordan next we~k, to make a comprehensive peace 1n the·,

Middle East to go forw~rd~ now those are real problems .
.
The .. American people sl;lould ~ook at the strengths. and assets we
have and say th~re i~ nbthirig th~t can stop us.
Lciok at strengths and
ass'ets New Yqrk has and just say there is nothing that can stop. This
is a very big deal when you.see Americans feeling a little more
pessimistic than the facts warrant.
·

I·
.
So~· I I m glad you Ire here.
And if you don't t do anything·· else when
~ou leave 'but to pat 'each other on the back arid convince yourselves that
· i~ ~ou work ~oge~her you wtll make a difference~ yo~ will have d9ne m9re
than half of the good you can do by showing up in the first place.
(Applause;)· And' I hope you believe that.
(Appl_ause.)
·
I want to ta~k very briefly about what-we tried to do here. A
'big reason wetve had some ~ucces~ 'in the last two years is that o~r
administration came· into office w·ith an economic mission.
We wanted to
·rebuild the American Dream and make sure every American. was emp'owered to
take advantage of it. We had a long-term strategy as well ·as a shortterm strategy.· And we organized the. White House and ·.the' administration
in a completely· different way.·
They key figure in that reorganization was Bob Rubin from New.
my National Economic·_Adviser .. I don 1 t even know if he 1 s· still·
here.
But if it hadn t been fo:r:- him this whole thing would not have
worked iri the proper way~ .We have regular/ disciplined sustained
efforts involving the Secretary of the Treasury 1 .the Secretary of Labor 1
the Trade Ambassador/ the Council .of Economic Advisers Chair/ our
Commerce Secretary/ who's clearly the most active Commerce Secretary in.
my lifetime. 'The SBA Director whci has change_d the Small Business
Administration dramatically.. You now· apply. fOr an SBA loan on a. one-.

We work with all. the other departments you see here·
the
Education Department is_ a part of our econo~ic s~r~tegy; the Health and
HUf\\an Services Department and welfare reform is a part of our economic
strategy; HUD is a huge part of.our economic _strategy. ·And we all work
toget.her in a disciplined way to think about:. where America is going in
the rest of the· world 1 ··and· what America has tq do at home. 'And we work
· very hard to support and cooperate with and move forward with governors
and ~ayers ~nd folks in the pri~ate sector 1 with whom we meet o~·a
regular basis and work:through the major issu~s~
Now if you look at the economy we· ·co'nfront we· .all· know what
the streng'ths of it are. we· also all know we have some. problems -- 30
years of accumulated social problems; 20 years of stagnant wages for
hourly wage earners with limited. educations ·increasingly buffeted by a
globa~ economy; and 12 years of an economic theory that I don t-1:h;ink
·worked very well/ except to give us a big debt and reduced investment.
Our strategy was pretty simple and straightforward:
reduce the deficit;
increase investment in education and training, new techn9logies.and ' ·
defense conversion; increase trade and the sales .of American products. ,
and services around the world; work with business to sell' abroad when it
is appropr~ate and proper to do so; ~ive special incentives to forgotten

areas -- -you heard the talk earlier about tl):e community development .
bank? and the empowerment zones -- 'so that we ·can get free enterprise
into inner cities and isolated rural areas; reduce the role of
government wherever- we can -- reduce regula~ion, ·reduce bureaucracy, but
-- increase the effective leverage the f~deral ·government has, and be a
•good partner. That has been our strategy.
· '
.. \
Now, if you look at what'~ happened, the deficit is going down
i~~~ about half of what it was ~hen I took office as a
percentage of our national income. Trade has increased dramatically.
Since NAFTA was ratified-, trade ·to Mexico is up 19 pe,rcent this year.
That's three 'times as much as our overall-trade. The GATT world, trade
agreemeht .will bring hundreds of thousands of high-wage jobs into the

\·
Governor Cuomo·mehtion.ed in passing a Very important thing about
Long Island_in defense conversion. We are investing _hundreds of
millions. of dollars around this country to help communities where bases
have closed that need to rebuild· t_hemsel ves and to help bus-inesses that:
used to depend bh defense bu~iness that's not there any more.· Deferise
spendin~s peak~d iri 1987.
It peaked in 1987~
In 19~j wheri I took
office, there were still $500 million in funds the-Congress of theUnited States had appropriated for· defense conversion that. had not been
spent.-· We were ]ust leaving these companies and these communities out
there~, floating in· the ~ind .with -n'o strategy to bring 'them back int.o the
industrial base· of America-and the industrial
future of America.
,
.
.
We-are changing that now, and it is very important. ·If. you look
at New ~ork, if' you look at the economic profile of New York, especially
out on Long Island, it is criminal to walk away from-these companies
that helped us ~in the Cold War just because we are reaping the benefits
.of the Cold War by reducing defense spending.
So that's a big, big part
of our economic strategy. · . (Applause.)
These things are working. :The commun~ty development bank
just signed, -but you will see_ when it comes out th~t we'll
be. able to create, we estimate, about 150,000 jobs in very isolated

' dollars a year in compliance costs; trucking refOri:ll legislation that·
will save billions of ,'dollars a year. There are already 70 000 fewer
people \<?Orking for. the nattona·l government. thari. there were on the day I
became Presid~nt, and w~ are reducing the overall size of the government
by 270,000, and all the money's going back to you to fight crime.

Now, what are the results~ The $mallest federal government

In the stale of New York, the unemployment rate has dropped
about 1.5 percent.
There are over 100,000 more jobs.

to
Do -we have more to do? Of course, we do. And I want· to mention
just some of the things that were left undone,by this Congress-and some
of the things we need to do in our own paTtnership. We walked away from·
some very important environmental legislation.· 'And I' 11 just mention
one -·- the Superf~nd bill ~as £ilibustered at th~ en~-of\ the· Congress.
The Superfund bill. to clean. up tc:ixic waste dumps was supported by the
'chemical companies, the unions and th,e 'sierra Club.
I never saw~··
anything they.were all for at the same time .. There was no on~ in/
America against the Superfund bill, exc~pt more than 40. Republican
senators who didn't want any member of Congress who happened to.be in
th~ other party~ o~ the Pr~sident to say --co~e to New York and say,
,
we're· helping you to.c~ean_up toxic waste dumps. ·So the·poison is ·inthe ground because the filibuster poisoned the political atmosphere.
A!1d, yve have. to chan'ge that. We have to change that.
(Applause.)
.
I
I
•
f
w~ walked away fr~m,three bills that will· help to ~hange the
culture of Washington -- cacipaign f1nance reform, lobbying reform; and a
bill to say -...: ,and the businesspeople ought· to like this -- a bill to
say that when Congress'imposes a ~equirement on private employers, the
Congress has to obser;ve the same re·quirement -- live under th~ laws you
impose on the private sector.
(Applause.)
And we're going to do·our
best to pass _all three of· those next year.
I
�. .
And. then
Governor Cuomo has already talked about health care.
Let me say .that ,it was interesting to me, the_day af~er the health care
legislation was declared over·f6r this session, all the papers were all
of a s~dden filled with articles about how all the problems are still
there -- more and mor~ Americans losing their right to.choose their
doctor;.-~ 9:3 census shows that another 1. 1 million Americans in working
families, in working families, lost their health insur~ncej the cost of
health care.·is. siill going up at well over ~he ~ate of inflation.
~o
this will not go away.
And ~ ·also. want to s'ay -- and I don.' t think I've ever said this
in public before -- but I -~inally made a study of. this. :When I came to
Washington~ I·cam~ to Washington from a state that ~as both:low in per
·capita in~ome and had a high ~er~entage·of poor people.
So I never had
to ·.worry· about the problems s>f New York, which is high in per capita
income but has· a high percentage of poor people.
I am convinced now
that that Medicaid formula 'is 'unfair to you, and I think we shouid.
change it.\ And I thi:nk that's fair.
(Applause.)
Thank you.'
You all -'- you need to sit down, or you'
someplace else.
(Laughter.)
l~
increase my mail fro·m
:But_it ii:i' -- I will work with Governor Cuomo, with ·Mayor
Giuliani, with others. We will work through this·.
It's not going to 'be
easy, but-this is an etror, ·I think~ in policy that the Congress did ~ot
make on purpose.
Ii was· something that had not been fully accounted
fo~.
I mean, in the last cou~le of·years when Charlie's been trying to
get more for New Y9rk, there were people who w~re ori purpose .trying to
get more for-their states.
I ·didn't meari it_ like that.
Rangel's eyeE3
nearly popped out when· I said that.. (Laughter.) · But I t_hink it is very
important, and we. will ~6rk through it. ·
·
··
The other thing I want to say is something ·about welfare. Now'
reform· has become like God, motherhood and apple pie -~
everybody's for it; and that's good.
Franklin Roosevelt_said in the
Depression that to dole out relief in this way is a ~~btle destroyer of
the human spirit.
(Applause:) '. No one ever intended for i t to. work. this
way. ' And I think I. would. be fair in saying that no· presiden\ has ever
~pent.as much time as I h~ve had the opportunity to spend, _because I was
a governor, actually talking with. people on welfare.
I find that the people on welfare woutd rather' us change the system than almost other
$roup of people_in America; they'r,e_not very satisfied with it either:
~elfare
$o what we have to do is to find a way that rewards work, that
requires work, but that alsb enables people who work to be responsible
·.workers and good parents at the same· time ... That . is very important. · I .
sent a welfare· reform bill to Congress last .spring. The Congress did
not act on it this year.
I hope an~ believe they will act_on.it next
year.
It will work to reduce teen pregnancy, to toughen child support
enforcement, to educate people ~ore, and also to give them the support
they need for thel.r kids if_they-go·to work. And we will ask Congress
to pas& that plan.
�----
------------------~~-----------~--------,----------------------
\I
(
In the meanwhile, we 'have-to keep granting these waivers.
I saw
when all of you w~re clapping before that you actually know what a
waiver-is.· If youknow what a waiver is, this is the largest group ever
gathered in the hi~tory of the United States that knew what a waiver was
(laughter) --which; is amazing to me.- 1 mean, that's 'something which
~s truly laudable;
A_waiver means that_the federal ~overnmerit has a
.bunch of rules and regulations it Ought not to have to tell you not to
do things you ought eo-be able to do,. but we'll let you qo it anyway ..
(Applause.) . That.' s what ·a waiver. is.
(Applause.)
(
Alld today r guess the most imp9rtant thing I have. to announce. ls
-that.· I'm going to ·g:j, ve one of those. waivers to New York for your welfare ·
reform propOsal.
(Applause.)
I believe-very strongly in this.
Eyerybody talks about welfare
reform, but some people do it, an~ some people just ~alk.~bout it.
I
want you to h~ve a chanbe t6 prove that jobs first works.
I want yo~ to
have a chance to prove that you can either move 21,.000 families off' of
welffl.re. or keep them from -going on in the first place_.
I want you to
have _a chance to prove what I kriow that most people are on welfare want
·tO work if it will work for them in their- family. situation. . And- so.
that's what this welfare reform waiver wiil ·do. And -I know you will
make the most of it.
·
·
'
I want
to say a~ain, this administration is dedicated to
partner~hip. I am a Democrat by heritage, .instinc~ and ~onviction, but.I
don't believe the national ~ovetnment hai all the ·answers~ ·I b~lieve
that 0e nee~ a smaller, but -more e££ecii~e. national government.
I think
'that we need more a~tivism at the grass-root~ level. Tomorrow I'm going·
to Massachusett,s' to sign\ an education bill that cle_ars a 'way for all
states a lot of the rules and regvlations that kept people from
educating our children, especiall~ our ~oor children as ~ell as they are
capable of do'ing.
This i.s a direction we must continue.
The last thin~ I want to say.ii that this is not entirely~- job
for· goverm;nent, and attitude a·nd· personal conduct count.
You know,
those kids that beat up that New· York city transit detective the other
.night, ·they should have been· home:
They shouldn't have been out.· on the
-street beating him tip.
There's nothirig I:can· do as President·t6 change
\that. ·But all ·of us together, if -0e. talk 'about the responsibilities of
·parent.s and' neighborhoods and community groups', if we take some of that.
crime money and use it to provide opportunities for kids to go someplace
constructive iate at night and tci have role model~ that are positive
rol·e models', .if they don't have a home to go hometo, that will make. a
difference.
·
·And that's something you have to do.
That'~ something you· have
to do .. We need more people who will do what those two men did on the
Upper East.Side.yesterday when they put their own lives at risk to help
th~t man who was stabbe~ at Bhe automated_teller machine and then go get
the· people who stabbed him.
That's what .America ought to be about .• We
ought to lift people like that up, we ought.to follow them, and we ought
·to do what they do.
(Applause.) ·That's the last point I. want to ·make
to you.
None of this is going_to work unless most of us have our heads;
�..
'
on straight.
l
\..
I,ve .become a.friend of Ken Burns, the wonderful filmmaker who
did the series on the.Civil War and did the baseball series. And so I
watched it all.
It ,_s the only baseball I got this year.
(Laughter.)
Reich is going to fix th.at' for ne'xt year -- (laughter and a,pplause) .
or he~ll need th::r-ee boxes to get up here when he-comes back.
( L<,mghter ;)
But listeh to thiS.
L~sten to what your Gov~rnor said in the
baseball .film.; Baseball-~~ Mario Cuom6 is·talking about why he always
-liked Joe DiMaggio~
He Said, ~lway~ you l6ok-for heroes.
Always the
people look up to see something that represents them to something that
is larger than them. • And,., if it S perfect; something· they might become.1
..
Well, we ·can,t all be Joe DiMaggio, but we could have all done
what-those guys did at the teller machine yesterday-- every orie of us.
And we can. all .take one kid in. trouble and give that· boy 'or girl.
somebody to look up to. And we. can all do less bellyaching .and more
visionary talk about the future. (Applause .J
.
.
And we can _ _: and every,one-of us, including me --every_ one of
·us cou1d spend a··li~tle less time piacing blame and a little more tim~
assuming responsibility., That is what is great about this,~ountry.
(Applause. ) ·
·
,
And I' just want to :leave· you with t'his thought: · Wheh President
Aristide:went back.to Haiti this weekend, there were all these-Haitian
people in the- street with these little_ s_igns with their messages on it. \And the most frequent message'was, in Creole, a simple "Thank ·you,
America." And if you had seen just the eyes, the faces: of our young men
and women dbwn there in bniform who broUght_ them their .freedom back,
some of them Haitian Americans,· Americans. of all di-fferent races_ and
sizes·and both g~nders, _it would be impossible for you not to warit to do_
whatever you could t_o' make thj.s country and this· state what it ought to
be.
So the Governor' wilL try ·to do his part, I, 11 try to do mine.
If you do yours, . the 21st· century will be the b!=st time this country
ever had.
Thank you, and God bless you.
