SENATOR BOB DOLE
PRIVATE SECTOR COUNCIL
APRIL 22, 1994
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IF
YOU STICK AROUND
WASHINGTON LONG ENOUGH,
SOMEONE IS BOUND TO GIVE YOU
AN AWARD--AND l'VE BEEN LUCKY
ENOUGH TO RECEIVE A FEW.
1
Page 23 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU,
EVERY TIME I GO TO ACCEPT AN
AWARD, I FIND OUT THAT
ELIZABETH RECEIVED IT A FEW
YEARS BEFORE ME. I LOOK
FORWARD TO REMINDING HER ,, THAT THERE'S ONLY ONE PUBLIC ,, SECTOR LEADERSHIP AWARD ON
OUR MANTLE.
2
Page 24 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS
PEOPLE GIVE ME AWARDS IS
BECOME I PROMISE TO KEEP MY
ACCEPTANCE REMARKS BRIEF.
BUT SINCE THIS AWARD IS FOR
LEADERSHIP, I DO WANT TO TAKE
A FEW MINUTES THIS EVENING TO
TALK ABOUT LEADERSHIP--
AMERICAN LEADERSHIP.

Page 25 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
LET ME BEGIN BY SHARING
WITH YOU SOME WORDS OF ONE
OF THE WISEST PUBLIC
SERVANTS OF OUR TIME:
QUOTE: 11 SOME ARE TIRED OF
LEADERSHIP. THEY SAY (THAT
AMERICA) CARRIED THAT BURDEN
LONG ENOUGH. BUT IF WE DO
NOT PROVIDE LEADERSHIP, WHO
WILL? THE GERMANS? THE
4

THREE MONTHS AGO AT THE
NIXON LIBRARY IN YORBA LINDA,
CALIFORNIA. LIKE YOU, MY
THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS HAVE
BEEN WITH PRESIDENT NIXON
AND HIS FAMILY THESE PAST FEW
DAYS.
AND THERE'S NO DOUBT
ABOUT IT. PRESIDENT NIXON
WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THE
6
Page 27 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
JAPANESE? THE RUSSIANS? THE
CHINESE? ONLY THE UNITED
STATES HAS THE POTENTIAL
MILITARILY AND ECONOMICALLY
TO LEAD IN THE ERA BEYOND
PEACE. IT IS A GREAT
CHALLENGE FOR GREAT PEOPLE. 11
UNQUOTE.
THOSE WERE THE WORDS OF
RICHARD NIXON, SPOKEN JUST
5
Page 28 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
GREAT LESSON OF THIS PAST
HALF-CENTURY IS THAT THERE IS
NO SUBSTITUTE FOR AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP. IT WAS A LESSON
THAT MANY OF US LEARNED
DURING WORLD WAR II, IN
PLACES CALLED ANZIO, IWO JIMA,
MIDWAY, AND NORMANDY.
IN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH, I
WILL BE PART OF THE
7
Page 29 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION
THAT WILL ACCOMPANY
PRESIDENT CLINTON TO FRANCE,
FOR THE CEREMONIES MARKING
THE SOTH ANNIVERSARY OF O-
DAY.
AMERICANS WERE NOT ALONE
ON THE MORNING OF JUNE 6,
1944 WHEN THE LIBERATION OF
EUROPE BEGAN. WE WERE
8
Page 30 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
JOINED BY CANADA'S ROYAL
WINNIPEG RIFLES, POLAND'S
24TH LANCERS, THE FORCES OF
FREE FRANCE, THE YEOMAN OF
ENGLAND'S ARMORED
DIVISION ... THE HONOR ROLL
GOES ON AND ON.
BUT ALL THOSE SOLDIERS
KNEW THAT THERE WAS ONLY
ONE..,, LEADER OF THE ALLIED
9
Page 31 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
FORCES ... ONE COUNTRY WHICH
WAS INDISPENSIBLE TO THE
FIGHT FOR FREEDOM. THAT
COUNTRY WAS THE UNITED
STATES.
AND TIME AND AGAIN IN THE
DECADES THAT HAVE FOLLOWED
WORLD WAR II, WHEN FREEDOM
WAS THREATENED BY TYRANNY,
THE WORLD HAS LOOKED TO AND
10
Page 32 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
DEPENDED UPON AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP. IT WAS AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP THAT STOOD GUARD
AND EUROPE, EVENTUALLY
WINNING THE LONG COLD WAR.
IT WAS AMERICAN LEADERSHIP
THAT SENT OUR SOLDIERS TO
FAR OFF PLACES LIKE KOREA,
VIETNAM, AND KUWAIT.
11
Page 33 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
DID WE PAY A PRICE FOR THIS
LEADERSHIP? YOU BET WE DID.
A PRICE IN THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS OF LIVES LOST ... A
PRICE IN BILLIONS AND BILLIONS
OF DOLLAR SPENT.
HAS THE END RESULT BEEN
WORTH THE PRICE? YOU BET IT
HAS. THE WORLD IS ..,, A t" FREER
PLACE ... A SAFER PLACE ... A
12
Page 34 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
BETTER PLACE ... BECAUSE OF
AMERICAN LEADERSHIP.
AND FRANKLY, IN THE PAST
MONTHS, l'VE BECOME A BIT ~~ NERVOUS ABOUT RETURNING TO
THE SITE OF THE MOST
SUCCESSFUL AND MOST
COURAGEOUS DIPLAY OF
AMERICAN LEADERSHIP. l'M
NERVOUS BECAUSE I HAVE
13
Page 35 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
ALWAYS BELIEVED THE BEST WAY--THE ONLY--· WAY--TO HONOR THOSE WHO FOUGHT AND DIED
FOR AMERICA WAS TO ENSURE
THE SURVIVAL OF THE CAUSE
FOR WHICH THEY FOUGHT.
AND I WONDER WHEN WE
STAND AT NORMANDY WITH
SOLDIERS WHO FOUGHT THERE,
AND WITH FAMILY MEMBERS OF
14
Page 36 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
THOSE WHO DIED THERE, CAN WE
HONESTLY SAY TO THEM THAT
WHEN TYRANNY THREATENS
FREEDOM, AMERICA STILL LEADS
THE WORLD?
AND THEN I CONSIDER THE
SITUATION IN BOSNIA, AND I ASK
MYSELF 11 CAN WE BE PROUD OF
THE LEADERSHIP AMERICA HAS
SHOWN IN BOSNIA? HAVE WE
15
Page 37 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
STOOD UP AGAINST
BLOODTHIRSTY TYRANTS? HAVE
WE SAVED THE LIVES OF
INNOCENT VICTIMS? HAVE WE
ACTED--AS PRESIDENT NIXON
SAID--AS A GREAT PEOPLE TO
MEET A GREAT CHALLENGE?
SADLY, THE ANSWER TO ALL
THOSE QUESTIONS IS NO.
NOW, I KNOW THIS IS A Bl-
16
Page 38 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
PARTISAN EVENING, AND LET ME
ASSURE YOU THAT WHEN IT
COMES TO BOSNIA, THERE IS
ENOUGH BLAME TO GO AROUND
TO BOTH PARTIES.
AND, FRANKLY, THE
PRESIDENT AND THE CONGRESS
READ THE POLLS. AND THE
POLLS SHOW THAT THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE DO NOT WANT
17
Page 39 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
TO RISK ONE AMERICAN LIFE TO
BRING PEACE TO BOSNIA.
I BELIEVE, HOWEVER, THAT
PART OF THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
PUBLIC SERVICE IS LEADERSHIP--
AND SOMETIMES THAT INVOLVES
LEADING THE PEOPLE WHERE
THEY MAY NOT WANT TO GO.
AS I SEE IT, AMERICA IS AT A
CROSSROADS--AND THE ACTIONS
18
Page 40 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
OF THIS ADMINISTRATION WILL
LIKELY DECIDE IN WHICH OF TWO
DIRECTIONS AMERICA WILL GO,
AND WHETHER OR NOT THE
TRADITION OF AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP SURVIVES.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WE CAN
EITHER ENTER THE NEXT
CENTURY AS A SUPERPOWER --
WITH A STRONG PRESENCE ON
19
Page 41 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
EVERY CONTINENT AND ACROSS
EVERY OCEAN;
OR WE CAN ENTER THE NEXT
CENTURY AS A REGIONAL POWER
-- WHOSE DOMINANCE IS LIMITED
TO THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE
AND WHOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH
EUROPE, RUSSIA, AND ASIA IS
ONE AMONG EQUALS.
20
Page 42 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
UNFORTUNATELY, THE
THREAD RUNNING THROUGH THIS
ADMINISTRATION'S POLICIES ON
NORTH KOREA, SOMALIA, HAITI
AND BOSNIA SUGGESTS THAT
THEY HAVE CHOSEN THE LATTER
COURSE, AND THAT UNITED
STATES LEADERSHIP IS LESS
IMPORTANT THAN UNITED
NATIONS LEADERSHIP.
21
Page 43 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
I RECALL THAT WHEN IT CAME
TO THE UNITED NATIONS,
PRESIDENT NIXON QUOTED
GENERAL DE GAULLE, WHO SAID
THAT 11 PARLIAMENTS CAN
PARALYZE POLICY; THEY CAN
NOT INITIATE IT. 11 AND NO DOUBT
ABOUT IT, ABDICATING AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP TO THE UNITED
NATIONS HAS HELPED TO
22
Page 44 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
PARALYZE OUR POLICY TOWARDS
BOSNIA.
DESPITE CLEAR AND BRUTAL
SERBIAN AGGRESSION, THE
BOSNIANS HAVE BEEN DENIED
THE RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENSE -- A
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT
INCORPORATED IN THE U.N.
CHARTER -- BECAUSE OF A U.N.
ARMS EMBARGO PLACED ON THE
23
Page 45 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
FORMER YUGOSLAVIA.
WHEN PRESSED ON THE
MATTER OF LIFTING THE ARMS
EMBARGO, PRESIDENT CLINTON
STATED AGAIN YESTERDAY THAT
HE AGREES THAT THE EMBARGO
SHOULD BE LIFTED, BUT AS
BEFORE POINTS TO THE
OBJECTIONS OF THE BRITISH,
THE FRENCH AND THE RUSSIANS.
24
Page 46 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
MEANWHILE, U.N.
RESOLUTIONS AUTHORIZING THE
USE OF FORCE TO PROTECT SAFE
HAVENS HAVE NOT BEEN
IMPLEMENTED. NATO'S RECENT
AIR OPERATIONS AUTHORIZED TO
PROTECT U.N. FORCES IN
GORAZDE ON THE 10TH AND 11TH
OF APRIL WERE ESSENTIALLY
TIMID PINPRICKS WHICH INVITED
25
Page 47 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
THE BOSNIAN SERBS TO
FURTHER TEST THE RESOLVE OF
THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.
UNFORTUNATELY, AS THIS
PAST WEEKEND'S EVENTS
DEMONSTRATE -- WE FAILED THE
TEST. WHEN CONFRONTED WITH
LAST WEEKEND'S BRUTAL
ASSAULTS ON THE POPULATION
OF GORAZDE AND THE ISSUE OF
26
Page 48 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
RESPONDING WITH NATO AIR
STRIKES, PRESIDENT CLINTON
PASSED THE BUCK TO THE U.N.
COMMANDER, GENERAL ROSE,
WHO BLUFFED AND WAITED TO
RESPOND UNTIL IT WAS roe a
LATE.
THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED
A · NEW INITIATIVE ON BOSNIA
LAST NIGHT. IN FACT, I WATCHED
27
Page 49 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
HIS PRESS CONFERENCE IN MY
OFFICE WITH BOSNIAN VICE
PRESIDENT GANIC. AT THE
CONCLUSION OF THE PRESS
CONFERENCE, BOTH OF US
WONDERED 11 WILL WHAT THE
PRESIDENT SAID MAKE ANY
DIFFERENCE?•
AND THE ANSWER IS THAT It
WILL ONLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE
28
Page 50 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
IF THE PRESIDENT IS COMMITTED
TO AMERICAN LEADERSHIP, AND
NOT TO LIMITING US TO A STATUS
OF 'ONE AMONG EQUALS.'
THE LESSON THE CLINTON
ADMINISTRATION HAS YET TO
LEARN IS THAT THE HISTORIC
SUCCESS OF N.A.T.0. IS DUE TO
AMERICAN LEADERSHIP AND
AMERICAN STRENGTH. THE
29
Page 51 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
UNITED STATES, AFTER WORLD
WAR II, DID NOT MAKE THE
MISTAKE IT MADE AFTER WORLD
WAR I: WE DID NOT DISENGAGE
FROM EUROPE AND RETREAT
INTO ISOLATIONISM. WE
REMAINED ENGAGED. WE
REMAINED A LEADER.
NOW, HOWEVER, AMERICA
RARELY ACTS AS THE LEADER OF
30
Page 52 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
NATO -- THE LEADER OF THE
ALLIES -- RATHER, WE ACT AS -ONE - OF THE ALLIES. AS A RESULT, INSTEAD OF RAISING
THE ALLIANCE ABOVE THE
DISPUTES OF OUR EUROPEAN
ALLIES AND UNITING THEM IN
ONE VOICE, WE ARE ALLOWING
NATO TO SPEAK WITH MANY
VOICES -- AND IN THE PROCESS
31
Page 53 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
ERODING NATO'S CREDIBILITY.
MOREOVER, THE CLINTON
ADMINISTRATION IS ALLOWING
RUSSIA TO HAVE A VOICE IN
NATO BUSINESS. WHEN THE
CRITICAL ISSUE OF EXPANDING
THE ALLIANCE WAS RAISED LAST
YEAR BY THE NEW DEMOCRACIES
IN EASTERN EUROPE -- POLAND,
THE CZECH REPUBLIC, HUNGARY
32
Page 54 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
AND SLOVAKIA -- COUNTRIES
WHO FEARED A RESURGENCE OF
RUSSIAN HARDLINERS, WE DID
NOT LEAD THE WAY TO EMBRACE
THESE COUNTRIES IN THE NATO
FOLD. INSTEAD, WE TOOK A
POLL, AND LISTENED TO THE
STRONGEST PARTY IN
OPPOSITION, WHICH WAS RUSSIA.
THE PARTNERSHIP FOR PEACE
33
Page 55 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
WAS A FACE-SAVING WAY OF
ACCEPTING A RUSSIAN VETO OF
NATO EXPANSION.
SINCE D-DAY, AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP HAS NOT ONLY
PLAYED A CRITICAL AND
DECISIVE ROLE IN EUROPE, BUT
AROUND THE GLOBE -- IN THE
MIDDLE EAST, IN ASIA, AND
ELSEWHERE. WE AMERICANS
34
Page 56 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
HAVE SOUGHT TO BRING OUR
POWER AND INFLUENCE TO BEAR
ON THE SIDE OF FREEDOM,
DEMOCRACY, PEACE AND
STABILITY IN ALL REGIONS OF
THE WORLD.
THIS AMERICAN LEADERSHIP
IS AS ESSENTIAL TO THE
OBJECTIVE OF WORLD PEACE
AND STABILITY TODAY AS IT WAS
35
Page 57 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE
SECOND WORLD WAR. IN MY
VIEW, THE ABDICATION OF U.S.
LEADERSHIP WILL ONLY LEAD TO
GREATER INSTABILITY AROUND
THE GLOBE. DICTATORS AND
WOULD --BE AGGRESSORS ARE
WATCHING U.S. POLICIES
TOWARD BOSNIA, NORTH KOREA,
AND RUSSIA -- AND THE INABILITY
36
Page 58 of 63 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
OF THE UNITED NATIONS TO PICK
UP WHERE U.S. LEADERSHIP
DROPS OFF. THE PROLIFERATION
OF NUCLEAR MATERIALS AND
WEAPONS IS INCREASING.
REGIONAL DISPUTES ARE
HEATING UP. THE WORLD IS AS
DANGEROUS, OR MORE
DANGEROUS THAN IT WAS
DURING THE COLD WAR.
