it's bard to find the time, the space and 1the place. The ideas
that once united us -- liberty, equality, !democracy -- now tear
I
us apart.
We cannot have won the Cold War abroad, only to lose our

democratic faith at home. For many, these are tough times, and
not just economically. We feel insecure i~ our streets. We see
our families and our communities coming a~art. We, in this

authority our Founders invoked in our Constitution.
And it is
I
"We the People" who will finally make the biggest difference.

is more democracy. We must make citizenship matter again.

�WELFARE SECfiON --1.22.95 8pm
I
If we are going to break the endless cycle of children having children, we must get rid of a
welfare system that defies our values as a nation. The curre~t system sends all the wrong
signals: It rewards welfare instead of work. It encourages f~ilies to break up instead of
helping them stay together. And it lets millions of absent parents off the hook instead of
making them pay the child support they owe their children. i
'
That is why I have worked so hard and so long to reform welfare. We have made a good
start. In the last two years, my administration has given mo~e states the power to try new
ideas than the past two administrations combined. Last year,! I introduced the most sweeping
welfare reform plan ever presented by any administration. i
Now, together, let us make this the year we end welfare as we know it.
We must say to absent parents who aren't paying their child support, if you're not providing
for your children, we will garnish your wages, suspend your license, trace you across state
lines, and if necessary, make you work off what you owe. P~ople who bring children into
this world can't just walk away.
To those on welfare, we should offer a simple compact: We'll help you move to work as
quickly as possible, and provide child care and skills if you rieed them, but within two years,
anyone who can work must go to work, and start earning a p~ycheck, not a welfare check.
That's the only way we'll ever make welfare what it used to tie: a second chance, not a way
of life.
Some in this chamber have a different idea about welfare refdrm. Their approach would
punish poor children for the mistakes of their parents, even it: leaves more children homeless
and hungry and on their own. That is what some believe, but they are wrong. There has
always been poverty in America, but there has never been poverty in the American spirit.
!
As we move people from dependence to independence, I do nbt believe we should play
politics, and punish parents and children just because they're poor. No one is more eager to
end welfare than the people who are trapped on it. This issu~ doesn't have to divide us. If
we promote work, family, responsibility-- the values we sh~e as Americans-- we can
change the welfare system and bring the country together as we do.

Tonight I am happy to report that our efforts to engage our former enemies have greatly
increased the security of every American.
One year ago, .as many as 8,000 nuclear warheads in Russia -- each powerful enough to
incinerate a city the size of [tk] -- were aimed at sites across our nation. Tonight, for the
first time since the nuclear age began, not one nuclear weapon is aimed at our homes or
our childreri. Tmiight, because we and four former Sov,iet republics ratified the START I·
treaty, we are on the way to eliminating another 9,000 warheads loaded onto missiles and
· bombers. And three of those four republics have agreed to completely destroy their
nuclear arsenals.
In the post:..Cold War world, when the nuclear arms race is part of history, these events no
· longer make for headlines. But as President, my first responsibility is the safety of our
people. And nothing my Administration has done is inore important, or gives me more
pride, than the actions we've taken to lift the nuclear cloud and protect future generations.
In the year ahead, the destruction of weapons will continue to head our agenda. I will ask
the Senate to approve START II-- which will eliminate another 5,000 [ck] warheads.
The United States will ~ead the charge to extend the agreements that can best ~top the
spread of weapons of mass destruction: the Nuclear Non-Prpliferation Treaty and efforts
'
to stop nuclear weapons testing and eliminate chemical weapons. And we will intensify
�3
our worldwide campaign to find and destroy materials that can be used to make nuclear
bombs.
We Will also continue our efforts to block those nations that are eager to acquire nuclear
'
weapons. We will carry out the agreement we have reached with North Korea to stop,
and eventually roll back, that nation's potentially deadly nuclear program. This is a
smart, tough deal -- and I will fight as hard for it here in the Capitol as I will to ensure.
that the North Koreans live up to their half of the bargain. And I challenge any critic to
devise an alternative plan that can work while safeguarding our allies and ourselves.
As Commander in Chief of our armed forces, I have pledged from my first day in office
that our nation would maintain the best equipped, best trained and best prepared fighting
force on the face of the earth. We have -- and they are. But to make sure our military is
ready for action -- and to provide the pay and quality of life that the military and their
families deserve -- I have asked that this Congress add $25 billion more in defense
spending over the next six years. Tonight I repeat that request. We ask much of our
armed forces -- those in uniform today and those who served us so proudly in the past --
, lllill
n<~L ..•
and we owe them much in return.
•Again and again last year I was impr~ssed by the skill and devotion of our military.

again. Listen to the words that Franklin Roosevelt wrote on the day before he died, words
that he did not live to speak: "Great power req~i~es great responsiblity. We, as
Americans,
do not
choose
to deny our responsiblity."

As your President I pledge to you that America will continue to engage the world. We
will con~inue not only because it will increase the security and prosperity of all of us here
at home, but because people all over the world are watching, wondering which side will
prevail in the ancient struggle of freedom versus tyranpy, of hope versus fear. In that
struggle, America is the beacon of freedom, and our, success is the measure of hope.
�WELFARE REFORM REWRITE
Saturday 1.21.95 5pm (incorporates DNC speech)
Natl. campaign against teen pregancy ... (Gals ton)
And if we're going to break this endless cycle of children having children, we must make
welfare what it was meant to be: a second chance, not a way of life.
Almost no one in this chamber tonight has worked longer or harder for that than I have. I
worked on this problem for years before I became President, with other governors and
members of Congress from both parties and a Republican White House. I've worked on it
with people who were on welfare, and let me tell you, the people who want to change this
system most are the people who have been dependent on it.
[OPTIONAL ADDITION: Just ask Lynn Woolsey, who worked her way off welfare and is
now a Congresswoman from California, here with us tonight.]
We have made a good start. [EITC if not mentioned elsewhere.] In the· last two years, my
administration has given more states the power to try new ideas than the past two
administrations combined. Last year I introduced the most sweeping welfare reform plan that
any administration has ever presented, and called on Congress to act.
Now let me challenge you again: Send me a bill that will require people who can work to go
to work -- so they can start earning a paycheck, not a welfare check. Send me a tough law
that will track down absent parents and make them pay the child support they owe -because governments don't raise children, parents do. Send me a bill that will discourage teen
pregancy and the breakup of families, not by punishing poor children for their parents'
mistakes, but by insisting on work and responsibility, so that mothers and fathers know they
can't just walk away.
Let's not lose another generation debating what must be done. Let this be the year that we
end welfare as we know it.
And let us agree on something else: that as we change this failed system which is crushing
people's spirit, we do it in a way that builds people up, not tears them down -- and we bring
this country together, not let it be torn apart. Our goal should be to move people from
welfare to work, from dependence to independence, to help them be good workers and good
parents, not to punish them because they happen to be poor. That's the kind of welfare
reform we must have in this country.

Teen pregnancy insert
There is an epidemic of teen pregnancy and births to parents who
never marry. Too many children are being raised without fathers,
and we are all paying the price.
This is intolerable, and it must stop. But it won't stop until
we say: No, don't have sex, don't get pregnant, don't father that
child, if you aren't married and if you aren't ready to raise
that child.
Last year I called for a National Mobilization against teen
pregnancy. Tonight I renew that call.
Yes, government can help. We should set up a national
clearinghouse for information about local programs that make a
difference by talking sense to our young people. And we should
take these programs to at least 1000 schools around the country.
But the solution is a lot larger that government. A decade ago,
public-spirited Americans stepped forward to spearhead the war
against drugs--and ·it made a difference Tonight, I call on
leaders--from the private sector, from foundations, from
religious institutions, at the national level and in every
community--to join together in the fight against teen pregnancy.

1119/94 10 pm
Faced with these great challenges at home, it is tempting to turn our back on the world.
And there are those.in this chamber who would do just that. "We did our job in the Cold
War," they say, ''Now we can't afford to get involved."
.
.
· It is tempting to listen to those voices, to join those who want to hide behind borders and
escape the hew, more comple~, more confusing world. But their vision is short-sighted . ·
and their solution is wrong.
Yes, our new world_;. the post-Cold War world-- is more confusing. Yes, this new
world has imposed on us-- the world's only superpower-- new responsibilities. But our
new world has also given us tremendous new opportunities. The end of the Cold War
has given us an historic opportunity to make the American people more secure and more
prosperous. An~ throughout the world it has let people cast off the chains of repression
and tyranny and embrace lib~rty and democracy.
These are the reasons why, from the beginning of my Administration, I have done
everYthing in my power to keep our country engaged in the world. I have -- and will
· continue .to .;.:- work with Democrats
arid Republicans who
out, not
.
. believe. we must reach

retrench. Atld I won't let anyone .or anything divert the United States from this path.
r·
�2
Tonight I am happy to report that our efforts to engage our former enemies have greatly
increased the secu,rity of every American.
One year ago, .as many as 8,000 nuclear warheads in Russia_..; eacJ;t,powerful enough to
hicinerate a city the size of [tk] -- were aimed at sites across our nation. Tonight, for the
first time since the nuclear age. began, not one nuclear weapon is aimed at our homes or
our children. Tomght, becatise we and four former Soviet republics ratified the START I
treaty, we are on the way to eliminating another 9,000 warheads loaded onto missiles and
bombers. And three of those four republics have agreed to completely. destroy their \
nuclear arsenals.
-··
In the post-Cold War world, when the nuclear arms race is part of history, these events no
longer make for headlines. But as President, my first-responsibility is the safety of our
people. And nothing my Administration has done is more important, or gives me more
pride, th8n the actions we've taken to lift the nuclear.cloud and protect future generations.
In the year ahead, .the destruction ofweapons Will.continue to head our agenda. I will ask
the,Senate to approve START II-- which willelirirlnate anothet s;ooo [ck] warheads.
The United States will lead
the charge to extend the agreements that
the
. can best stop
.
;
spread of weapons of mass destruction: the Nuclear Non-Proliferatio~ Treaty and efforts
to stop nuclear weapons testing and eliminate chemical weapons. And we will intensify
�3
Qur worldwide campaign to find and destroy materials that can be used to make nuclear
bombs.·
We will also continue .our efforts to block those natio~ that are eager to acqUire
nuclear

weapons. We will carry out the agreement we have reached with North Korea to stop,
· and eventually roll 'back, that nation's potentially deadly nuclear program. This is a

As Commander in Chief of our arm~d forces, I have pledged from my first day in office
that our nation would maintain the best equipped, best trained and best prepared fighting

�[Possible Modified Start: Substitute on Page One as indicated by
ellipses]
••••• not all the changes are exactly what I had in mind.
I want to begin tonight by talking about the people at the very
heart and soul of the State of our Union -- the citizens of this
country.
I would like to introduce you to several of them sitting with the
First Lady. There is Cindy Perry, one of the 20,000 members in
our national service program, Americorps. There is Kansas City
Police Chief Steven Bishop. [Kuwait troop representative.] [Haiti
troop representative.] And there is Jack Lucas, a retired Marine
from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, who has brought his son, Jimmy, a
West Point graduate, and his grandson, John.
Each is doing the work of citizenship. Each is showing that when
we reach beyond ourselves, we make democracy strong. Each is
making a difference: Cindy Perry teaches children in Kentucky to
read. Chief Bishop makes community policing a real force for
safety on our streets. [Kuwait troop] and [Haiti troop] lighted
the beacons of freedom across the world. And Jack Lucas made a
difference. Fifty crowded years ago, in the sands of Iwo Jima, he
helped secure a foothold for freedom that brought us to this
night.
�Let us ask them all to stand and be recognized for doing the work
of America.
Its not an easy job today. Our common ground is shifting out from
under us. The PTA, the worship service, the town hall meeting -it's hard to find the time, the space and the place. The ideas
that once united us -- liberty, equality, democracy -- now tear
us apart.
We cannot have won the Cold War abroad, only to lose our
democratic faith at home. For many, these are tough times, and
not just economically. We feel insecure in our streets. We see
our families and our communities coming apart. we, in this
chamber tonight, can make a difference too. But, we must never
lose sight of who we work for. It is for people like those
sitting up there. It is for •we the People," the citizens whose
authority our Founders invoked in our Constitution.
And it is
•we the People• who will finally make the biggest difference.
Andrew Jackson, who served as President during another time of
profound change, said: The answer to every problem of democracy
is more democracy. We must make citizenship matter again.
But, to you here, I say: We cannot ask Americans to be better
citizens if we are not better servants. We were not sent here to
bicker over petty differences and to waste their time and money.
As we begin our work together, first and foremost, we must put
away the party labels, put away the personal disagreements, and
�put our people first.
We must never forget where we are tonight. We are the keepers of
a noble trust. • • • •
[Under this construction, the ending will change. We would peel
out the details about the individuals, and use their presence as
a transition back into the role of citizenship and the power of
unity after discussion of the Hew Covenant issues.]
�PAGE 13, lAST PARAGRAPH, INSERT BEFORE 'TOMORROW
One thing is sure. We need to change the way we ensure a healthy
environment, a safe workplace, and fair ·treatment of all Americans.
How we treat businesses, states, and ordinary Americans being
regulated is a big problem.
We know we must shift from an approach based on mistrust and
emphasizing punishment, to an approach based on partnership, if we
are to get the results our laws were meant to get.
PAGW 13, Before the last paragraph
But our reductions willleae a government that works better. We are
reducing where America's best companies reduce-- not at the front
linews where government employees help .Americans, but back at
central headquarters where managers and specialists in bureaucracy
create red tape.
·
PAGE 13, last Paragraph, insert after frrst sentence.
We propose consolidating 60 existing federal housing programs into
three flexible grants to communities so communities across America
can decide how to best meet their housing needs for the disabled, the
elderly, the poor, and the homeless. This is a frrst step to take a look
at every federal program to determine if we can serve Americans
better by returning decisions to states, communities, and individuals.
An alternative to regulations.
Of course we all agree on goals like safe workplaces and consumer
products, clean air and water.
·
And we can even agree on the problems - too many regulations.
There are 150,000 pages in the Code of Federal Regulations .. And
some employees who enforce those regulations treat ordinary
Americans, Americans who would do the right thing if they could
understand those regulations as the enemy.
But I will not allow us to give up the gains we have made in cleaning
up our environment- we haven't had a river catch on fire since the
\.nhahnP"a. ( l'hPC'k fal'tL Or allow C'ars withnnt sPathPlts.
�We need a federal regulatory system based on common sense and
consensus where we consider the needs of consumers, business
owners and workers and the environement.
REG02
The initial National Performance Review focused on how the
federal government did what it did; the second National Performance
Review will focus on why the government does what it does. So
today, I am asking the Vice President to lead my Administration in a
fundamental reevaluation of the federal government. The result will
be, I predict, an historic and fundamental restructuring of the federal
government.
Let me put it this way. In 1993 we drew a road map
to a government that works better and costs less. In 1995
we will draw the map to a government that works better
and does less.
This second reinventing government effort will be, like the first
one, grounded in the belief that government should always put
people first-- it should provide security and opportunity to a
responsible citizenry. But how we accomplish these goals is the
subject of an enormous debate not only in our own government but
in the governments of other free countries all over the world. We
have come to the point in history where all too often the
size and the cost and the complexity of government have
obscured the public good for which it was established in
the first place. In order to restore the public's faith in democratic
government we must reverse this.

Sugqasted Change for State of the Onion ·
On p. 6 of the draft state of the Union, there's a reference to FEKA and the LA
earthquake. I'd suggest adding the following sentence: "When one of the major
freeways collapsed after the earthquake, it was originally projected, based on
past qovernment practice, that the reconstruction work vould take 104 weeks. Re
10 weeks.

PROPOSED INSERT FOR STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS
America must be strong ... and must be vigilant. I am
absolutely committed to maintaining the finest fighting forces on
the face of the earth. Our men and women in uniform must have the
equipment neccessary to remain ready and to maintain a strong
forward presence around the globe. A presence to deter ... and if
neccessary ... to prevail in any conflict.
The strength to act .... and the wisdom to know when action is
required ... are qualities that the people of the United States
expect of theh:· leaders. Tonight I am pleased to announce that I
have accepted Secretury of the Navy John Dalton's recommendation
that we name c-v-N 75, an aircraft carrier cu:rrently under
construction, in honor of former President Harry S Truman. This
ship will proudly bear the name of the man who courageously led
us out of the Second World War and prepared us to win the peace.
A moment ago, I told you of my commitment to enRuring that our
forces are adequately equipped. During the last Congress, you
wisely accepted my proposal to authorize and fund another
carrier, C-V-N 76. Tonight I am announcing our intention to name
that ship in honor of someone unsurpassed in his boundless
patriot 1.sm and love for the Armed Forces ... and, someone who still
inspires us with his courage and grace. C-V-N 7G will be:
USS RONALD REAGAN.
