Subject: President's Remarks at Photo Op with CEOs
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
_____________________________________________________________________
For Immediate Release June 2, 1993
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
IN PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
AT LUNCH WITH CEOs
Old Family Dining Room
12:29 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Let me just make one remark. You know,
once a week if at all possible I attempt to have lunch here in the
White House with business leaders from around America and solicit
their views and their opinions, their suggestions. These lunches
have been enormously valuable to me, and I think are helping us
develop the kind of partnership with the private sector we need.
I'd just like to mention two things that I think support
the economic position that I have taken and the work we're doing in
the Senate. First of all, there were new stories today and yesterday
pointing out that long-term interest rates are down again, the stock
market is strong again, in anticipation of the passage of a real
deficit reduction package after the vote in the House. And that
means we're taking the right course. And I'm looking forward to
working with the Senate when they get back next week.
Secondly, just today we've learned that we had the
largest monthly increase in new housing sales in seven years, which
is clearly the result of lower interest rates and proves the point
that we've been trying to make that if we can get the deficit down,
get the interest rates down, that will be the biggest job stimulus to
the economy. It will put another $100 billion back in this economy.
So there are lots of things that we have to discuss and
lots of things that perhaps we can all change for the better. But at
least the general direction, I think, is clearly right. And I thank
these kind business leaders for coming here today, and I look forward
to continuing to do this every week as long as I'm President. I
think it will be very helpful to the country.
Thank you very much.
Q nomination, Mr. President?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, let me say this. I think that I
have to talk to some of the Senators about it because of the
reservations that have been raised both publicly and privately. I
want to reaffirm two positive things about her. One is everyone
concedes she is a first rate civil rights lawyer, and no real civil
rights lawyer has ever held that position before -- someone who made
a career of it.
Secondly, I think any reasonable reading of her writings
would lead someone to conclude that a lot of the attacks cannot be
supported by a fair reading of the writings. And that's not to say
that I agree with everything in the writings. I don't. But I think
that a lot of what has been said is not accurate. On the other hand,
I have to take into account where the Senate is, and I will be doing
that and talking to them. And I think until I do that, I should have
nothing else to say.
Q Thank you.
