Kline maintains he just wants to enforce the law and protect children, but critics charge that he's attacking a woman's right to an abortion and putting more kids at risk.

I am not wearing any green, however, which is really quite disappointing, except that the reason I’m not wearing green is I have a tie that says “We The People” and it is indeed an important part of the Constitution, and it does seem to me that that’s even more important than a green tie on this occasion, since this is really one of the best and most significant evenings we have every year, that is the Goldsmith Awards.

    MEDIA RELATIONS, OFFICE OF: Records, 1981-1989 – REAGAN LIBRARY COLLECTIONS

    MEDIA RELATIONS, OFFICE OF: Records, 1981-1989 – REAGAN LIBRARY COLLECTIONS This collection has been reviewed by the Reagan Library staff and it is available for research. You may access this collection in our research room. There is no need to file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for any of the contents of this collection. MEDIA RELATIONS, OFFICE OF: Records, 1981-1989 Office History The Office of Media Relations was responsible for all press relations except the White House Press Corps. This involved press briefings, press conferences for regional and local media, arranging interviews for regional media, and sending out video clips for local newscasts. At various times it also included the “television office” responsible for the recordings of Presidential video/audio-taped messages and assisting with the actual technical set-ups for outside broadcast crews. These different functions were carried out under several office permutations and office names throughout the Reagan administration. Since most of the staff and their physical location remained the same throughout the eight years, we have gathered all of this material under the title of the Office of Media Relations. Originally, providing liaison services to non-regular White House press was handled by a subset of the Press Secretary’s Office entitled Media Liaison. Its director was Lou Gerig, an associate of Press Secretary James Brady. His staff included Sue Mathis (later Mathis-Richard) and Linda Perryman. Simultaneously, the Office of Communications contained the “Television Consultant to the President,” Mark Goode and Media Coordinator, Jan Mahan (later Mahan-Duval). Goode and Mahan handled the recorded activities of the President.
