November 23, 1993
MEMORANDUM
FOR:
Betty Currie, President's Office
fROM:
Carter Wilkie, Speechwriting
RE:
selected 1993 speeches
·Attached, please find copies of the speeches you requested. On the disk they are listed by
key words, usually the occasion of the speech or its main subject.
These transcripts come to us from Mike Sullivan, editor of the Weekly Compilation of
Presidemial Documents. I just received them last night, and I have not had time to comb
them thoroughly for typographical errors or unnatural paragraph breaks.
I have three suggestions to make:
First, the Cooper Union speech, in retrospect, does not meet the timeless quality of the
others. The beauty of that speech is really the thematic opener and cloSe, on the subject of
· change and faith. If those sections could be excerpted, they are worth saving. Otherwise, I
would not use this one as a whole.
Second, the transcript of the NAFTA side agreements signing ceremony still contains wrapup remarks made when the President returned to the podium. I would delete these few,
awkward paragraphs. They were not part of the President's speech anyway.
Third, if further editing is required, please consider cutting some of the more lengthy
acknowledgments at the beginning of some of these transcripts (e.g., at Rutgers), and
possibly excerpting the best portions of some of these speeches (i.e., Cooper Union).
I am leaving this afternoon for New Orleans and will return Saturday evening. In the
meantime, the Staff Secretary, or his deputies, should be able to manage any further changes
to these transcripts, if necessary. I hope this works. Thank you.

FROM:
Carter Wilkie, Speechwriting
RE:
Anthology of the President's 1993 speeches
David Kusnet, David Dreyer and I recommend the following speeches. Several, such
as Rutgers, Cooper Union, and Earth Day, could be edited down to the important sections
only, to preserve space and the interest of readers. Please note that these transcripts are not
always accurate; sometimes stenographers have mistaken the President's Arkansas dialect,
e.g., substituting "in" for "and," etc.; sometimes, the paragraph breaks are not well chosen.
Prior to publication, all transcripts should be checked by a careful editor who knows the
President's speeches and speaking style.

FROM:

Office of Communications
SUBJECT:
RE: Speeches
With all due immodesty, I remain fairly fond of the Holocaust
Memorial Speech. I also like the Jefferson Memorial 250th
birthday speech. I would nominate the Cooper-Union speech from
May, with the impromptu closing on the idea and ideal of faith.
And, if memory serves, the President gave a fairly rockin' speech
in the spring pre-Guanier on civil rights -- whether it was the
NAACP or the Black Caucus, I honestly do not remember. Beyond
these, I am in favor of all the obvious other choices I saw
listed.
Thanks for asking,
D2
