CLINTON Continued from Page 2 tlon upon which to build tho coming millennium, we should consider the vision of an Amer ican democracy in full glory as It adapts and progresses in an ovormore complex world, ea gerly called upon to assist, and looked upon with pride. Truly, this next presidential tonn could form the spearhead of an International endeavor to becomo globally dynamic — or ganized as wo Increase in num bers and able to work together for the prosperity of all human kind. The only obstacles to an achievement of this scale are tho limits we place on our selves, or which have been E* id upon us by a leadership ng in creative pursuits. However, with new leadership poised to enter the White House, this nation stands to benefit from a new relationship between the government and tho people it servos. As the United States gains confidence in this new leadership, it could be unified as never before, its Cotnntial unleashed as never afore and the world would bear witness to the true power of a healthy democracy. Now. as we focus our thoughts on the highest office In the country, the hour ap proaches when we must con sider the nature of our commit ment to progress in this decade This task will test our strength as a unified nation, and our wisdom as dignified individu als. It is imperative that we see beyond the disappointments of past government administra tions and Instill a now trust in a new generation of leadership. In this docode, as wo contem plate tho now millennium, our common noeds require wisdom in leadership to a dcgreo never beforo so vast, never before so vital. It Is to this end that we must stand united in support of loaders of merit, courage, com passion. and most of all, vision. And then, in the years un folding, new oyos will see and new ears will hoar of a leader ship that cares about the small and the large, tho present and the future, the people and their planet. With such leadership. our future will provide dignity for all who atrlvo to sustain this world as wo reverse the trends of destruction and alter our means of existence. And we will ofTer to our children a now Earth upon which to flourish, and to all species a now Earth upon which to evolve The soul of a nation can be awakened by a spark from within, and the soul of a world can be saved by the wonders of democracy. The future of our civilization Is dependent upon the harnessing of our combined wisdom. The countdown to this now millennium has already begun, and tho time has come to weigh anchor and set sail for tho swift waters of the 21st Century with all of us at the ours. Together we have the talent to create a golden future And today we have the ability to take our selves there on the winds of a new vision - on the promise of a new covenant.

BUSH Continued from Page 2 tain to provide an inferior product at a higher price. A koy part of tho solution lies In giving concerned parents a choice in selecting who edu cates their children In the great majority of fami lies, parents can better soloct a school that best moots tho neods of their children than a central ized education administration can devise. Republicans rospoct the basic tenets of our cul ture. Those bolinfs are rooted In judeo-Christian values that have boon passod down through west ern cultures for nearly 2,000 years. They also form the basis of much of our laws and political traditions. Inherent in these beliefs is commit ment to individual froodom of religious expres sion as staled in the Bill of Rights. When a nation ignores its mural tradition, it does so at the risk of destroying the foundation upon which ail of its institutions ure grounded When individuals violate tho moral imperatives of their culture, they begin the process of societal decline that, if unchecked, will lead to societal collapse. This manifests itself In Inc reasing vio lence, broken families and neglected children. George Washington’s farewell address is the foundation of the foreign policy beliefs of Repub llcuns. Not only are wo not to bo tho policoman of tho world, but wo should avoid unnecessary com mitments of American manpower and might to Intervono in foreign disputes. At the sumo timo, there are instances whore our power must bo used to protect vital American in terests A good example of this Is our success in the ear!/ l»40s to counter and defeat tho German drive for dominance. While wo should work for tho principles of freedom though the use of diplo macy, foreign aid and assistance and tho promo tion of democratic values, wo must carefully guard against unproductive foreign entangle ments. Any military action taken must bo de signed to meet a well thought-out objective Con flicts like the war in Vietnam that do not involve clearly defined vital interests should bo avoided. Tho Republican cause is ulivo and well The principles espoustsf havo a long tradition in our nation's history. From Jofforson's limited govern ment, Washington's caution against foreign entan glements and Lincoln's commitment to individu al liberty and justice, these principles are secure ly rootiid in our traditions and philosophy.
