Message to the Senate Transmitting the South Korea-United States Legal
Assistance Treaty
January 12, 1995
To the Senate of the United States:
With a view to receiving the advice and consent of the Senate to
ratification, I transmit herewith the Treaty Between the Government of
the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Korea
on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters, signed at Washington on
November 23, 1993, with a related exchange of notes signed the same
date. Also transmitted for the information of the Senate is the report
of the Department of State with respect to this Treaty.
The Treaty is one of a series of modern mutual legal assistance
treaties that the United States is negotiating in order to counter
criminal activities more effectively. The Treaty should be an effective
tool to assist in the prosecution of a wide variety of modern criminals,
including members of drug cartels, ``white-collar'' criminals, and
terrorists. The Treaty is self-executing.
The Treaty provides for a broad range of cooperation in criminal
matters. Mutual assistance available under the treaty includes: (1)
taking testimony or statements of persons; (2) providing documents,
records, and articles of evidence; (3) serving documents; (4) locating
or identifying persons or items; (5) transferring persons in custody for
testimony or other purposes; (6) executing requests for searches and
seizures; (7) assisting in forfeiture proceedings; and (8) rendering any
other form of assistance not prohibited by the laws of the Requested
State.
I recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration
to the Treaty and give its advice and consent to ratification.

Statement on Disaster Assistance for California
January 13, 1995
Today, I am sending to the State of California $10 million from the
disaster relief fund. These funds will be used by the State and local
governments in the flooded areas to remove debris and to take protective
measures to ensure the health and safety of their residents.
At this time, I have approved Federal assistance for 34 California
counties stricken by the disastrous floods. Our hearts go out to the
people who have suffered losses in these disastrous floods. I have asked
James L. Witt, the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
to make certain that all appropriate resources of the Federal Government
are applied to assist the State of California in helping their citizens
to begin to recover from this disaster. The action I have taken today
will be a start for California residents down the difficult road to
recovery.

Statement on the Dispute Between Bridgestone-Firestone and the United
Rubber Workers
January 13, 1995
I have long supported legislation to prevent companies from
permanently replacing their striking workers. Unfortunately, last year a
minority of Senators prevented the full Senate from voting on the bill.
Now Bridgestone-Firestone's use of permanent replacements shows
exactly why this protection is necessary. By bringing in permanent
replacements for their workers who are on strike, while refusing to come
to the
[[Page 62]]
bargaining table, the management of Bridgestone-Firestone is flagrantly
turning its back on our tradition of peaceful collective bargaining to
solve labor disputes. When companies replace their workers under these
circumstances, they sow seeds of distrust and resentment which can
extend far beyond their company, undermining labor-management relations
across the land. Bridgestone-Firestone should get back to the bargaining
table with the United Rubber Workers to reach a fair settlement.
Secretary Reich and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service stand
ready to help. Let's get on with it.

The President's Radio Address
January 14, 1995
Good morning. Let me begin by saying that Hillary and I send our
prayers and our good wishes to all the families who are suffering in the
terrible California floods. Our administration is doing everything in
our power to make sure you get the relief you need. And I pledge to you
that the American people will stand by you in this time of crisis as
they have in the past.
On Monday, we'll all celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King on
what would have been his 66th birthday. Dr. King was one of the great
moral prophets of our time. He never held public office, but no one ever
did more to redeem the promise of American life or stir the soul of our
Nation.
One of Martin Luther King's greatest lessons was that every American
deserves a piece of the American dream, the chance to pull ourselves up
and work our way into the middle class. He taught us that we have more
uniting us than dividing us, that no matter our race, our religion, our
income, we all share the same hope of building better lives for
ourselves and our children.
The most important civil right is the right to dream the American
dream and to have the opportunity to live it. I ran for President
because I feared we were in danger of losing that right. At a moment of
great change in our history, as we move from the industrial age into the
information age, as we end the cold war and move into the global economy
of the 21st century, I believe our purpose has to be to keep the
American dream alive for all Americans.
To do that, I have fought for three things: first, a new economic
strategy to help our people compete and win in the new global economy;
second, a new covenant with the American people that offers more
opportunity to everyone willing to assume personal responsibility for
their own lives; and third, a new kind of Government, a leaner, but not
a meaner Government that cuts yesterday's programs and bureaucracy to
make room for tomorrow's solutions, rooted in responsibility,
empowerment of our citizens, the strength of our communities.
In 2 years we're made a good start. We have a strong economy with
5.6 million new jobs. We've made historic cuts in the deficit, enough to
take $11,000 in debt off of every family's future. We've cut the size of
Government. There are 100,000 fewer people working for the Federal
Government than there were on the day I became President. And we've made
lots of programs more efficient and more effective. And we've offered
the American people new opportunities that demand more responsibility,
from more affordable college loans, to the family leave program, to
giving our local communities the resources they need to lower the crime
