I WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Bush, propelled by the political
upheaval in Eastern Europe and the
Soviet Union, proposed a dramatic
Butin U.S. and Soviet combat troops
Wednesday night, saying in his first
State of the Union address “the time
S right to move forward.”
R With ambassadors from across the
B'orld in attendance, Bush told a
Stint session of Congress, “We are in
S period of great transition, great
hope, yet great uncertainty...
■ “The events of the year just ended
B- the revolution of ’89 — have been
a chain reaction, change so striking
that it marks the beginning of a new
era in the world’s affairs.”
I Bush also announced plans to
withdraw all of the nearly 13,000
Broops sent to Panama in an invasion
Bo oust Gen. Manuel Antonio No-
|tiega “well before the end of Feb-
Buary.”
I Hours before he delivered his ad-
Biress to Congress and a national
Itelevision audience. Bush tele-
fthoned Soviet President Mikhail S.
Jlorbachev on Wednesday to advise
im of his proposal to cut U.S. and
oviet forces in Central Europe to
195,000 on each side.
“We recognize that the Soviet mil
itary threat in Europe is diminishing
but we see little change in Soviet
strategic modernization. ... But the
time is right to move forward on a
conventional arms-control
agreement to move us to more ap
propriate levels of military forces in
Europe,” he said.
drugs, education and other issues.
“It’s time to act together,” Bush
said in a speech intended to help set
an election-year agenda for a Demo
cratic-run Congress.
He condemned racially motivated
mail bombings, saying the nation
“must confront and condemn raci-
sim, anti-semitism, bigotry and hate.
We recognize that the Soviet military threat in
Europe is diminishing but we see little change in Soviet
strategic modernization.... But the time is right to move
forward on a conventional arms-control agreement to
move us to more appropriate levels of military forces in
Europe.”
— George Bush,
president of the United States
His troop offer was the surprise
centerpiece of a speech in which
Bush also proposed lofty goals for
American schools and prodded law
makers to approve his plans for a
capital gains tax cut and bills dealing
with clean air, child care, crime,
“...And let me say that so long as
we remember the American idea —
so long as we live up to the American
ideal — the state of the union will re
main sound and strong,” he said.
Confronting a sensitive issue,
Bush pointedly rejected a proposal
by Sen. Daniel Moynihan, D-N.Y., to
roll back a Social Security tax in
crease that took effect Jan. 1.
“The last thing we need to do is
mess around with Social Security,”
Bush said.
Bush also expressed concern over
the nation’s health care, and di
rected Health and Human Services
Secretary Louis Sullivan to lead a re
view of recommendation on the
quality, cost and accessibility of the
health care system.
“I am committed to bring the stag
gering costs of health care under
control,” Bush said.
The president said the challenge
before America now is “to take this
democratic system of ours, a system
second to none, and make it better.”
He spoke grandly of a nation
where everyone could get a job, feel
confident that their children are
safe, where the environment is
clean, the economy is strong and
where “Made in the USA” is a sym
bol of quality and excellence.
“Ambitious aims? Of course. Easy
to do? Far from it. But the future’s at
stake. This nation will not accept
anything less than excellence in edu
cation.”
