The ad campaign of a past Bush administration puts pressure on the RNC. Posted August 6, 2008 6:15 AM <http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/> by Mark Silva It looks like the Republican National Committee might owe Democrat Barack Obama a tire rotation, wheel balancing and brake job while they're at it. After all the grief that Obama has taken from the RNC and from rival John McCain this week over the Democrat's comment that motorists could save some more oil if only they put some more air in their tires, it turns out a search of the clips -- conducted by a motivated party -- has found that the administraiton of President Bush -- George H.W. Bush -- was telling Americans the same thing back in 1990. Americans could save 50,000 barrels of oil a day with a little more air in their tires, said the public service announcements of that Bush administration, calling on Americans then to save fuel with a "Do Your Part, Drive Smart'' advertising campaign. The folks at Americans United for Change were more than happy to point this out, of course, as the great tire gauge debate of 2008 reached full tilt this week -- with the RNC passing out gauges in mockery of Obama, and Obama accusing the party of taking pride in its ignorance on a simple matter of conservation. Here's a piece from the New York Times in 1990 about that government-sponsored gas-saving idea of filling up the tires <http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE2D61F39F937A2575AC0 A966958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=1> and other tips for saving oil. ________________________________ www.americansunitedforchange.org <http://www.americansunitedforchange.org/> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jeremy Funk, 202.470.5878 DATE: August 5th 2008 While McCain Continues to Make a Big Joke <https://secure.donationreport.com/donation.html?key=ZELOB5NVCUQ8> Out of Saving 800,000 Barrels of Oil <http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/8/4/15329/65425> a Day if Americans Kept Their Tires Inflated, Bush Sr. Ran a National Ad Campaign Calling for Just That FLASHBACK: The [George H.W.

C1 LENGTH: 833 words The Bush administration yesterday launched an advertising blitz telling Americans they could fight oil shortages and high gas prices by conserving, while advising Congress there is no sign of price gouging by the oil industry and that gas prices are "not unreasonable." The slogan for the yearlong campaign, "Do Your Part, Drive Smart," tells consumers they can save more than 7 million gallons of gasoline a day if they keep their tires properly inflated, drive slower and join car pools. "The president has called upon Americans to do their part 'to conserve,' " Energy Secretary James D. Watkins said in Boston yesterday afternoon. "Our intention is to give people simple steps they can take immediately and have direct impact on fuel savings." Appearing in Washington during a morning session of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Mr. Watkins was asked repeatedly about gas prices. Sen. Kent Conrad, North Dakota Democrat, warned him that "there will be a tremendous outrage [by the public] if we see a surge in profits for the oil companies" when they next release quarterly financial statements. Mr. Watkins told the senators that oil companies' gasoline pricing "is working very well and is rather typical of the supply and demand situation." He said he considered recent price rises "not unreasonable." He acknowledged that initial increases at the pump were greater than the early rises in oil prices. But, he said, in recent weeks retail increases have "lagged about 4 cents a gallon" behind the spot crude oil market. Americans on average are paying 22 cents a gallon more for unleaded gasoline today than before Aug. 2, while the spot price for crude is 26 cents a gallon higher, government and industry officials report. Mr. Watkins promised his department would keep an eye on the profit reports. But he told the committee he does not favor legislation outlawing price gouging because such a law would require a "massive bureaucracy" to ensure adequate monitoring. The new public-awareness campaign, which includes six radio ads and will eventually include a print and outdoor advertising package, was sponsored by the Energy Department and the Ad Council, a private, non-profit group that creates public-service ads. Much of the program incorporates the response plan announced shortly after the Mideast crisis developed, including the tire-inflation advice and various measures to expand production from existing domestic oil fields. But the department also urged an easing of regulatory barriers to promote fuel-switching by utilities, called on industry to increase energy conservation efforts and asked Congress to enact tax incentives to promote production of hard-to-recover oil. It reiterated the call for expanded oil development in Alaska, including exploratory drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Transportation Secretary Samuel Skinner endorsed the ad campaign at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Boston where it was formally unveiled yesterday. "We can make major strides in reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil by focusing on transportation, since transportation alone consumes about 63 percent of all petroleum used in the United States," Mr. Skinner said. "Every American is asking, 'What can I do to help?' " He urged consumers to use the lowest octane level needed for their cars, to combine trips when traveling and to drive slower. "Together by following these simple steps, we can cut smog and acid rain and we can cut our dependence on foreign oil," said Michael Deland, White House environmental adviser. At the Senate committee hearing, Mr. Watkins also said worldwide crude supplies could be short nearly 1 million barrels a day through the winter if current problems persist in the global oil market. It is likely, however, that the Energy Department would take oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve on short notice if needed, he said. Mr. Watkins added that any shortfall can be "managed" through conservation efforts and additional domestic production. But he said now is too soon to use the reserve, which holds nearly 600 million barrels. "That's a cherished reserve that has a finite life . . . and we don't want to use it too early," Mr. Watkins said. The House yesterday overwhelmingly approved a four-year extension of the president's authority to maintain the reserve and to increase the amount of oil that can be stockpiled. The authorization is to expire Saturday. When the Senate also approves it, the bill will go to the president for his signature. Environmentalists and some members of Congress say the administration has been slow in developing an energy plan and is giving only scant emphasis to energy conservation, while emphasizing expanded drilling, possibly in environmentally sensitive areas. * This article is based in part on wire service reports. United Press International September 13, 1990, Thursday, BC cycle Bush Administration begins conservation media campaign BYLINE: BY CHRIS NAGI SECTION: Domestic News LENGTH: 374 words DATELINE: BOSTON The Bush Administration brought its appeal for energy conservation to the public Thursday with a new multi-media advertising assault urging consumers to cut down their oil use in response to the Mideast crisis. The hastily developed radio, print and billboard campaign was unveiled by Energy Secretary James Watkins and Transportation Secretary Samuel Skinner at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Boston. The campaign, expected to air in several segments over the next year, was produced for the government under the auspices of the non-profit Ad Council and was designed by the New York-based Bozzell adversiting agency. Included in the package of public service spots were four brief radio ads, all finishing with the tag line, ''President Bush asks that you do your part: Drive smart.'' The ads contain many of the same urgings the federal government made during the 1970s oil crisis. They included driving 5 mph slower than usual, filling tires, using car pools and public transportation, and using the lowest octane fuel possible. The ads seek to ''change the culture of our society at this time and try to put peer pressure -- local peer pressure -- on our side'' in the fight to make up for the oil lost in the Iraq and Kuwait embargo, Watkins said. Federal officials hope the messures, which also include suggestions for home heating oil and industrial conservation, can reap a 530,000 barrel per day savings by December 1991. ''There's no real change in lifestyle necessary -- we're just saying do your part,'' Watkins said. The secretary deflected questions about the public relations message sent by the president's much publicized use of his gas-guzzling cigarette boat during his recent vacation, saying the query had been repeatedly answered by Bush. Another group criticized the campaign for not going far enough, saying the president should push for real gas-saving measures such as placing fuel efficiency requirements on new cars. ''We think the Bush Administration needs to take concrete action to improve energy efficiency instead of just relying on public relations,'' said Alan Nogee, director of the Massachusetts Energy Program for the Public Interest Research Group. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE2D61F39F937A2575AC0A 966958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=1 <http://www.nytimes.com/> ________________________________ September 14, 1990 THE MEDIA BUSINESS: ADVERTISING; Crisis Spurs Campaign To Save Oil By KIM FOLTZ LEAD: IN response to the crisis in the Middle East, the Federal Government began a yearlong public service campaign yesterday that urges Americans to ''Do Your Part, Drive Smart.'' IN response to the crisis in the Middle East, the Federal Government began a yearlong public service campaign yesterday that urges Americans to ''Do Your Part, Drive Smart.'' The television, radio and print advertisements are intended to persuade Americans to cut the amount of gasoline they use as a way of reducing the country's dependence on ''unstable foreign sources of oil,'' said David Bell, the president of Bozell, the agency that created the public service announcements. Motorists may not be too hard to convince in light of rapidly rising oil prices. Since the beginning of August, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, the price of oil has jumped to about $30 a barrel from about $21. The campaign focuses on transportation because it is responsible for 63 percent of all the petroleum used in the United States, Mr. Bell said. In some ways the new campaign is less comprehensive than previous energy conservation efforts by the Government. During the oil crisis in the 1970's, the Government's conservation program, called ''Don't Be Fuelish,'' urged the public not only to use less gasoline - by reducing the speed limit to 55 miles an hour - but also to cut back on heating and air-conditioning and never to leave a light on in an unused room. The new public service announcements give drivers tips on how they can save gasoline. One television ad, which will be broadcast later this year, shows a gigantic oil gusher that is not coming from a well, but bursting forth from the valve on a tire. The announcer tells viewers that by slightly increasing the air pressure slightly in their tires, they can save 50,000 barrels of oil each day. Like past conservation campaigns, the new one tries to get motorists to drive more slowly. A print ad pictures a gasoline pedal and tells motorists that when they step on the gas they should use their heads because if American drivers reduced their normal highway cruising speed by just five miles an hour, it would save two million barrels of oil a day. The radio commercials may be the most effective part of the campaign, said Ruth Wooden, the president of the Advertising Council, which coordinated the production of the public service announcements for the Energy Department. ''Most people listen to the radio while they are driving their cars, so it's the perfect time to get the message across,'' she said. One of the three radio spots features the sound of footsteps and the clatter of a cascade of coins. The announcer tells listeners: ''Believe it or not, this is how millions of us drive around town every day - like we have holes in our pockets.'' It is the Government's intention to use the campaign to give people simple steps they can take immediately and have a direct impact on fuel savings, said Energy Secretary James D. Watkins, who announced the new campaign at a news conference at the annual convention of the National Association of Broadcasters in Boston. The Secretary said that if motorists followed the fuel-saving tips in the campaign, it would be possible to save 530,000 barrels of oil a day. The Government, which is spending $500,000 on the public service advertisements, introduced the campaign at the broadcasters' convention because it is depending on radio and television stations to supply the bulk of the free advertising time the campaign needs to be effective. The Secretary said he was hoping to get $65 million in donated media time and space. ''This is an important time for broadcasters,'' the Secretary said. They can help us ''put peer pressure on the side of conservation.'' The campaign had to be produced very quickly. It took the agency and the council just 18 days to create the ads. Generally, it takes at least six months to produce an extensive public service campaign. To produce the pro bono ads on such short notice, Bozell assigned a team of two dozen executives, far more than are usually assigned to this kind of project. ''The Government wanted to move quickly,'' said Ms. Wooden of the Advertising Council, ''because it knew from past experience that the fastest way to have an impact on oil consumption is to get consumers involved in conservation.'' --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "big campaign" group.
