IN TEXAS, WHERE KAY BAILEY
HUTCHINSON IS ABOUT TO

OF THE SENATE REPUBLICAN
WOMEN'S CAUCUS.
*SPEAKING OF NANCY, I
KNOW THAT SHE HAS BEEN A
LONG-TIME FORCE IN THE RIPON

HER FATHER, THE GREAT ALF
LANDON.
*SOMETIME EARLY IN THE

1936 CAMPAIGN, ALF PUT HIS
FINGER ON THE PROBLEM
WHICH WOULD LEAD TO HIS
DEFEAT. HE ASKED HIS
CAMPAIGN MANAGERS 11WHY
DON'T YOU EVER BRING
WORKINGMEN TO SEE ME? ALL
I EVER SEE ARE STUFFED SHIRT
BUSINESSMEN AND BANKERS.11
*IF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS

Page 7 of 17 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
TO BE THE PARTY OF THE
FUTURE--IF 1993, 1994 AND 1996
ARE TO BE OUR YEARS--THEN
WE MUST REMEMBER THOSE
WORDS.
*BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE
THE MAJORITY PARTY--WE WANT
TO BE THE PARTY OF BOTH THE
WORKINGMEN AND THE
STUFFED SHIRT BUSINESSMEN

Page 8 of 17 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
AND BANKERS .... WE WANT OUR
DOORS TO BE OPEN TO ALL
THOSE WHO BELIEVE THAT THE
REPUBLICAN PHILOSOPHY IS
THE RIGHT PHILOSOPHY.
*A FEW MONTHS AGO, A
NEWSPAPER RATED ALL THE
SENATORS FROM 1-100, WITH
ONE BEING THE MOST LIBERAL,
AND 100 BEING THE MOST
8
Page 9 of 17 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
CONSERVATIVE. THE MOST
LIBERAL REPUBLICAN SENATOR
WAS MARK HATFIELD AT 33.
THE MOST CONSERVATIVE WAS
JESSE HELMS AT 100. THE REST
OF US WERE SOMEWHERE IN
BETWEEN. I WAS 86.
*YET WHEN IT CAME TIME TO
FIGHT FOR OUR PRINCIPLES--TO
SAY THAT WE COULDN'T PASS A

SO CALLED 11 STIMULUS
PACKAGE11 BY NOT PAYING FOR
IT AND BY JUST SENDING THE
BILL TO OUR CHILDREN--MARK
HATFIELD, JESSE HELMS, BOB
DOLE AND 40 OTHER
REPUBLICANS STOOD SIDE BY
SIDE.
*SO, MY MESSAGE TONIGHT
IS THAT I WANT TO BE THE
10
Page 11 of 17 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
MAJORITY LEADER IN TWO
YEARS. I WANT NANCY
KASSEBAUM TO BE CHAIRMAN

STEVENS TO BE CHAIRMAN OF
THE RULES COMMITTEE. AND I
WANT AMO HOUGHTON, TILLIE
FOWLER, AND ALL THE
REPUBLICAN HOUSE MEMBERS

HERE TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO
BREATHE A LITTLE FRESH AIR
INTO THE HOUSE AFTER FOUR
DECADES OF DEMOCRAT RULE.
*I WANT TO END THIS
EVENING BY SHARING SOME
WORDS OF ADVICE FROM
RONALD REAGAN ... AND IT'S
ADVICE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN
MORE RELEVANT FOR
12
Page 13 of 17 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
REPUBLICANS.
QUOTE: 11WE CAN'T MEET THE
PROBLEMS OF A DIVIDED
WORLD AND A DIVIDED NATION
WITH A SPLINTER PARTY. FOR
TOO LONG, YOU AND I HAVE
BEEN REPUBLICANS COMPLETE
WITH DESCRIPTIVE ADJECTIVES
AND HYPHENS. WE'VE BEEN
13
Page 14 of 17 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
MODERATE REPUBLICANS,
LIBERAL REPUBLICANS,
CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS,
AND MAIN STREET
REPUBLICANS. THE TRUTH OF
THE MATTER IS WE'VE BEEN
SUCKER REPUBLICANS. OUR
OPPONENTS GAVE US THOSE
ADJECTIVES AND THOSE
LABELS, AND ITS HIGH TIME WE
14
Page 15 of 17 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
BUNDLED THEM UP AND GAVE
THEM BACK.11
*RONALD REAGAN WAS
RIGHT. IT'S TIME TO ELIMINATE
THE HYPHENS AND THE
ADJECTIVES. IT'S TIME WE
TOOK PRIDE IN CALLING
11 11 OURSELVES REPUBLICANS --
NOTHING LESS, NOTHING MORE.
15
Page 16 of 17 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
11 11 JUST PLAIN REPUBLICANS. --
AND I SALUTE THE RIPON
SOCIETY FOR ALL THEY ARE
DOING TO STRENGTHEN THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
*THANK YOU.
