To sign into law H.R. 6267, the Depository Institutions Amendments of 1982 (thrift assistance bill) •
II. BACKGROUND
The conference report on H.R. 6267, commonly referred to as the thrift assistance bill, received strong Administration support. The Conferees basically adopted the Senate bill. The partial capital assistance program for thrifts in the Senate bill was accepted over the net worth guarantee approach in the House bill. This means that the thrift assistance program created by this legislation will be funded from the resources of the Federal depository institution's insurance agencies and not from the U.S. Treasury.
The Conferees also adopted new asset power provisions for thrifts so that Federally-chartered thrifts can maintain their profitability even during future difficult periods for the housing industry. Both commercial banks and savings and loans will be provided with a new deposit instrument which will be directly equivalent to and competitive with many market funds. This new instrument will enhance the consumer's savings and investment options and enable traditional depository institutions to compete more effectively in the marketplace.
Senator Jake Garn was the principal figure in the Senate on this legislation. Congressmen Stanton, Wylie, St. Germain and Annunzio were leading figures in the House. All will attend today's ceremony.

SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS FOR MEETING WITH SENATOR DAN QUAYLE (R-INDIANA)
Welcome Senator Quayle and congratulate him on his successful
efforts in getting our Job Training Partnership Act through
the Congress.
Tell Senator Quayle you are sorry that he couldn't attend the
formal signing ceremony for this bill on Wednesday. Sign your
letter to Senator Quayle and present him with a signing pen
and the letter in commemoration of this event and his
leadership role in developing this important legislation.
Remind Senator Quayle that this bill, which relies heavily
on private sector involvement, is certainly preferable to
the costly, make-work programs of the past, and that in
addition to the one million people who will benefit directly
from this program, the nation as a whole will be well-served
by its success.

PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: TELEMISSION ON INVESTMENT IN THE CARIBBEAN FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1982
I am pleased to address this unique TELEMISSION program on
investing in the Caribbean. The United States has a strong
tradition of economic cooperation with our southern neighbors.
This Administration has submitted to the Congress a detailed plan
to promote the mutual development of our economies. One of our
highest goals has been to increase private sector participation
in the development process. While government to government
assistance has and will continue to be important -- the most
effective tools for creating jobs, and a higher standard of
living, remain the talent, resources and plain, hard work of the
private sector.
Our Administration is committed to assisting private
initiatives here and abroad, and to making Government a partner,
rather than an enemy of progress. Our aim is to make your job
easier, not harder. Programs such as this TELEMISSION are a good
investment of Government resources and experience, because they
involve you, the business community.
To our Caribbean friends taking part in this broadcast, let
me say: our Administration is firmly committed to supporting
your efforts to increase employment and generate economic growth
through private foreign investment.
To our own business people watching today, let me assure you
that we in Washington want to help you find new investment
opportunities.
Page 2
The Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the Agency for
International Development, and other agencies and departments of
the Federal Government offer comprehensive programs of support
for your objectives. I encourage you to make use of those
programs and services we offer. Only through the efforts of
private business people, like yourselves, can we spur the growth
of our economies and the well-being of all our peoples. Economic
progress is everybody's business.
(Parvin/AB) October 14, 1982 2:00 p.m.
PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: ATLANTIC MONTHLY 125TH ANNIVERSARY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1982
Greetings to all of you at The Atlantic Monthly Anniversary
Dinner in Boston. I'm told that as part of the program tonight
several well-known people will read from the works of authors
who've appeared in The Atlantic. Julia Child will read from
Whittier, Mayor White from Longfellow -- and David Stockman from
William Greider.
It sounds like a fun evening and I'm sorry I can't be with
you to celebrate it. Mort invited me to come up and read a
passage myself. I'd have liked that because it would be a
fitting way to acknowledge the magazine's contribution to our
cultural history. You know all over this country people are
preserving our historic and natural landmarks. Well, The
Atlantic Monthly is a cultural landmark. As the oldest
privately -owned magazine, it's been publishing for over half the
national life of our country. And I believe Mort Zuckerman
deserves a public thanks for his preservation of The Atlantic
Monthly.
It truly is part of our heritage. I can almost see Oliver
Wendell Holmes, that autocrat of the breakfast table, sitting in
his study writing one of his essays for The Atlantic. The
articles and poems that first appeared in its pages include
classics of our literature that every schoolchild knows -- "The
Battle Hymn of the Republic," "Paul Revere's Ride," Robert
Frost's "The Road Not Taken."
Page 2
And the writers who've been published in The Atlantic
reflect America herself : Henry David Thoreau, Jack London -- I
loved him as a kid -- Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Ernest
Hemingway, John Updike and on and on. The Atlantic Monthly is an
American institution and you know how deeply I believe in those.
And, Mort, let me say I am pleased newsstand and advertising
sales are up. I wish David Stockman could do for the Federal
deficit what he's done for yours. I know that at some point
tonight you will probably offer a toast to The Atlantic, and when
that point of the evening comes, I'll be joining you in spirit.
So, to The Atlantic Monthly: America is in her pages, history is
in her words, and another 125 years is in her future.
Thank you, good evening, and the best to you all.
(Parvin/AB) October 14, 1982 3:00 p.m.
PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS CONVENTION FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1982
Greetings to all of you attending the National Association
of Realtors convention in San Francisco. You know I heard a
story the other day ~ l'.ea.lisQ&& ui:ll appreoiat@ I' ual about
a family that lived in a little apartment in the city but decided
to buy a big house in the country. A friend said to the
12-year-old son, "So, how do you like your new house?" And the
boy said, "Oh, we love it. I have my own room. My brother has
his own room. My sisters have their own room. But poor Mom,
she's still in with Dad."
Unfortunately, not enough families have been buying that
house in the country, or the suburbs, or the city, because they
simply can't afford it. And, as a result, your association has
lost over 150,000 members in the last 22 months. This is a
terrible figure and words can't describe how deeply it disturbs
me.
But we're doing something about it. Slowly but surely,
we're turning this economy around and leading it to a solid,
non-inflationary recovery. For the first time since Franklin
Roosevelt's administration your Government is committed to a
long-term plan to restore the U.S. economy. As an editorial in
Financial World magazine said a few weeks ago, "Can you even
recall one long-term program, let alone the Nation following any
plan for more than a few months?" In the time before I arrived
here at the White House, there were five totally-recast economic
Page 2
plans in 4 years, and three of these occurred in 1 year alone.
You cannot plan a sound future with that kind of pinball
economics, bouncing from problem to problem.
I believe this economy needs stability. It needs stability
so that inflation will stay down, so that interest rates will
come down even further, so that people will invest, so that more
people can get back to work. And, as this happens, one of the
results will be that millions of Americans can once again afford
to buy homes.
Patience is a very hard virtue to counsel in the face of
hardship. I know that, but I also know we are making genuine
progress, enduring progress. And what we want is a real
recovery -- not one that is simply a mirage on the desert.
Previous, quick-fix recoveries led to short respites, followed by
higher interest and inflation rates, followed by worse
recessions. This recovery is going to stick because it is based
on a solid, long-term plan.
But there's one more thing I want to say before I let you go
back to the business at hand. Even though this is the worst
period for housing since the 1930's, you have not asked for
subsidy, but rather for sound economic and fiscal policy. I wish
all industries were that foresighted. Without fail, the NAR
its leadership and members -- has supported our efforts to set
this economy right. I want to thank you for your support. Yes,
it's meant a great deal to the future of the country, but it has
also meant a great deal to me personally. There was an Irish
poet who expressed my feelings toward all of you at the
Page 3
convention. He wrote, "Think where man's glory most begins and
ends, and say my glory was I had such friends."
Thank you, my friends, and God bless you.
(Elliott/AB) October 14, 1982 5:00 p.m.
PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: NAVY LEAGUE DINNER FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1982
Thank you, John Rau ... thank you for your leadership of a
very important arm of national defense -- the national Navy
League.
And thank you, Admiral Dexter, for these great gatherings
each year by the New York chapter of the Navy League.
Congratulations to George Ball for his winning way as
skipper of this great dinner for a second year.
Congratulations to Zachary Fisher for a "mission
accomplished" -- the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum on the Hudson.
Vice President Bush, who was a Navy pilot as a young man himself,
has reported to me what a powerful focus for defense awareness
the Intrepid is in New York City, the communications center for
America and the free world. I understand the museum will house
the Hall of Heras, dedicated to those Americans who have worn the
Congressional Medal of Honor for gallantry and intrepidity beyond
the call of duty.
And good luck tonight to Robert Sarnoff for your launch of
the National Science Center for Communications and Electronics.
Communications is a key to survival -- and electronics, the
product of American brainpower, is a key to the future, as
Charles Brown, your industry guest of honor tonight, so well
knows.
America has just demonstrated again at the polls -- as we
have done through wars and depressions -- the fundamental
·•
Page 2
strength of democracy: the freedom for all Americans to be heard
without fear of suppression or reprisal.
As we pursue our program to strengthen our country
economically, militarily and morally, America needs, more than
ever, the special qualities of leadership exemplified by your
guest of honor from the Armed Forces.
I called him "a soldier's soldier" with respect and
affection -- the way he is pictured in the cartoon by Bill
Mauldin ... with Willie and Joe in a foxhole on Anzio
beachhead, where he won his battlefield commission. I say, with
all Americans, I am very glad and grateful that Sgt. John Vessey
did "stay in the Army."
Today he is Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the
Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines, and yes, the Coast
Guard.
Tex, you forgot the Coast Guard buttons on that fine navy
blue blazer you gave me at the dinner last year -- but don't
worry, I had them added next to the Marines!
General Vessey, members of the Navy League , and honored
guests, I am confident that the challenge we have accepted
together -- rebuilding America's defense to protect our peace and
freedom -- can and will be met. Thank you for your invaluable
support and God bless you all.

PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: AIRLINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION MEETING FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1982
It is a real pleasure to take this opportunity to speak with
you as you open your biennial board of directors meeting. The
Airline Pilots Association, from the barnstorming days of your
founding to today's jumbo jet pilots, have been known for your
courage, dedication and professional commitment to safety. Your
record is one to be proud of. I thank you on behalf of the
hundreds of thousands of Americans who trust you every year with
their lives.
You and your colleagues in the airline industry have been
some of the first to feel the effect of economic difficulties,
and have been hurt by the recession we're now working our way out
of. As you know, I've been working closely with your President,
J.J. O'Donnell, and I want you to know that his input and your
support have been a real help in forwarding our recovery program.
With your assistance we've been able to convince the
Congress to reduce taxes and hold down the growth of spending
although not yet to the degree we would like. Our return to
principles of fiscal responsibility has begun to lift our economy
from the economic swamp created by decades of big spending and
big deficits.
America is recovery-bound. Inflation -- which was public
enemy number one when I took office -- is down from its 1980 peak
of 18 percent to a rate of 5.1 percent so far this year.
Interest rates, once as high as 21~ percent, are now 12 percent
Page 2
and we will bring them lower still. The markets are surging.
People are investing and saving again. All this means that,
soon, our economy will expand again, creating real and lasting
jobs, and the prosperity we all have been working for.
Our path is difficult, but what are our choices? Returning
to the tax and tax, spend and spend, borrow and borrow policies
that got us into this mess is no answer. Double-digit inflation
and sky-high, job-wrecking interest rates are no alternative . We
must never again mortgage our future and that of our children to
pay for the excesses of yesterday.
We've accomplished much in the little more than 1 year and
1 month that our program has been in place. Runaway spending has
been checked, taxes have been reduced, inflation has been cut in
half, and the crippling i nterest rates are finally tumbling.
Unemployment is still too high, but we are tackling that problem,
too.
I am confident that the American people have the strength
and vision to hold to our course, applying long-term solutions to
long-term problems. With their support, and the help of
organizations like ALPA, no obstacle is insurmountable, and no
challenge is too great. Together, we will make this country
great again.
Thanks, and God bless you.

Thank you for your support of the South Florida Task Force. It is an outstanding example of cooperation and of our commitment to stop drug trafficking and related crime.
Congratulations on overcoming the court challenge filed by the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws to spray a cannabis patch with Paraquat. We have called for the responsible use of herbicides as a legitimate means for reducing the supply of marijuana.
I have alway~ believed that it is important to reduce the supply of drugs, but it is equally important to reduce the demand. Mr. (Henry) Sayler, Carlton Turner has informed me of the efforts of your daughter-in-law, Nancy, on behalf of the Florida Junior League and others in the area of drug abuse education and prevention. Efforts like these are just what it takes.
