SUBJECT:
ELSIE HILLMAN
Elsie flew down this week to have another heart-to-heart with
me...and this time she means it.
She has been working well with Walker to date and understands the
necessity of his activities bringing in the Right to Life,
religious right, et al. She will not however, preside over what
she sees as the taking over of the party by virtue of their
participation in Victory '92 and general election BQ activities.
?
What she is proposing is:
1. The RNC hire former state chairman, current legislative
operative Dick Philling now, to oversee preparation of the
general election plan. He ultimately becomes the campaign
manager under Co-Chairmen Walker and Coughlin.
2. Joe Waldholtz becomes Philling's ED.
3. The State party hires Dave Sanco for Victory '92.
4. She resigns after the convention and this structure runs
the campaign.
Elsie understands how bad it would look for her to resign and
proposes the logical cover of some sort of Presidential
appointment/assignment to work on: Weed and Seed or some Philly
urban task force. She rightly points out she has long credibility
with the black community and the power structure in Philadelphia
and would be welcome to work with them. She could then say there
wasn't enough time to do the campaign and the urban job (volunteer
activity) and she would be doing more important work for the
President on the urban issue than on his campaign.
She insists that neither you nor the President can dissuade her
this time. She will not/can not get it up for the general election
but does not want to hurt the President by just resigning without
cover. I must say, I've been pals with Elsie for years and I'm
confident she means it. Furthermore, she's been very consistent,
as you know, from the beginning of this cycle in her reluctance to
run the Pennsylvania campaign. We pulled her in kicking and
screaming and her primary performance was reflective of her initial
recalcitrance. (We had to send in a whole team of RNC and BQ staff

THE PRESIDENT HAS 5/28
MEMO TO BOB TEETER
FROM
PEGGY NOONAN
DATE
TUESDAY MAY 27, '92
&
Bob, two things.
1. I think the President ought to give a speech about race,
No American President has had anything interesting to say
about race since LBJ, and what he said was interesting not DO
much because of what he said Due how he said it -- he spoke
so poetically of how 'we must love one another or die.'
Half the country has conflicted feelings and painful
feelings and frustration on this issue. The other night I
saw Clarence Thomas and he spoke so movingly of the great
uncovered story of our time, the solid, intace, churchgoing
black middle and working class families. Last night I saw
Peter Jennings and the first thing he wanted to talk about
what "all those poor black shopkeepers and owners who got
burned out in L.A." These days in America every conversation
comes back to race.
No one wants to hear George Bush unveil another 5 point
program, but they'd like to hear him speak honestly and even
soulfully about his feelings on and thoughts on this issue.
If you think this could fit in somewhere I'll do up a
fuller memo with suggestions and ideas for you and the
speechwriters.
2. The press is newly excited by my decision not to come
down to DC. I'm telling them I'm not coming down for
personal reasons and will stay in NY doing policy and
political suggestions. (This has the added benefit of being
true -- my son rebelled.) There will be a small rumor-storm
the next few days. Newsweek had sources saying I'm not
coming down because I told the campaign you you're not allowed to
edit my work and I said "It's my way or the highway!" and
you or Mosbacher eaid, "Then it's the highway!" The
Washington Times 10 saying I walked because I've been writing
speeches and the President discards them and I'm angry.
Everyone is asking me if I'm for Perot, or if I'm in love...
Anyway, the best way to dicourage all this stuff I think is
to simply say, "She's in New York because moving was too much
dislocation, if she's not here she can't work with the
President on his speeches, but she sends us suggestions from
New York and they're helpful and we're happy." Period.
Let me know about idea 1 1.
well, the last chance.
And Bob, now is the time to go high risk. Forget prudence
and safety and hedging bets. This President has nothing to
lose by being daring -- I mean literally, nothing. He better
start showing some guts.
Reggy
THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN 5/28
PEGGY NOONAN
200 East 66 St
NY NY 10021
May 3 1952
Dear Bob,
Here's a returned check. I bet this is the first time a
political consultant ever returned you money with the
legitimate explanation that they don't deserve it. Having
hid from you for two weeks, knowing that if I spoke to you
you'd succeed in talking me out of what I know is the right
decision, I am now once again answering the phone. I wrote
the President a note explaining my thoughts and conclusions,
and Bob I have a strong sense that he not only understands my
thinking but concurs. Anyway, I'm up here doing my thing and
writing my book. I strongly suggest you hire one or two new
speechwriters and add them to the extremely talented team of
Tell, that fellow from Chaney whose name begins with McC, and
Janet Crouse, a new woman on the staff about whom I hear good
things.
Bob, I have a stronger sense than ever that the problem for
the President isn't words -- how he says things --but policy
-- what he wants to do. I do strongly think that L.A. can
be an opening for the President if he concludes from it that
the answer to his domestic void is Kempian notions regarding
opportunity and equality. GB can make himself look classy
and future-oriented if, for instance, he gives a speech
explaining what an enterprize zone is and why we must go down
this path. (Ninety percent of your voters don't know what an
enterprise zone is; 90 percent of them would support it if
they knew.) But the path the President himself must not go
down is that ol' teeth gnashing low-budget liberal stuff
where he goes around talking about how anguished he is about
the poverty and despair he's witnessed and how he's going to
do something -- like increase funding for Head Start! This
is a loser in three ways: It looks like he just discovered
poverty, low-budget liberalism is the last thing this country
needs, and if we make it a contest between who'll get more
money for the poor, Clinton wins. It's bad policy and bad
politics. And it's so yesterday.
If you have any speeches you want me to take a quick look at
you can fax 'em up. By the way, you've got to start
insisting that each major speech be ready and in staffing one
week before it is to be given.
I still have a commercial idea I'm working on. I'll send it
soon, free of charge.
X Peason
THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEM 5/28
By coincidence, I traveled to Alaska with Harrison Hickman as my seatmate. He
made the following intriguing points about Bill Clinton:
(1) His temper. Hickman indicated that Bill Clinton's temper had been a
major problem for him. He claims that Clinton has actually struck
members of his staff who were perceived to have done something stupid or
ill advised. He claims this is "common knowledge" among Democratic
Party professionals.
(2) Hillary Clinton's income. Hickman claims the press is looking in the
wrong place for conflicts of interest re. Hillary Clinton's income.
Specifically, he indicates that hundreds of thousands of dollars of
State bond underwriting legal fees have been channeled through Hillary
Clinton's firm and that she has clearly participated in the profits from
these funds. The press, on the other hand, has been focused on other
State-related legal fees which pale in comparison to the underwriting
legal fees that Mrs. Clinton's firm has received. He suggested that we
compare contributions to the Clinton Campaign with the names of known
bond underwriting firms who do business with the State of Arkansas.
(3)
Clinton's policy development. Hickman was very critical of Bill
Clinton's policy development apparatus. Specifically, he claimed that
Clinton's policies are basically developed by identifying popular
positions and putting the Clinton stamp on these positions. I allowed
as how this criticism could be aimed at about 95% of all politicians at
all times, but Hickman was adamant in insisting that Bill Clinton
literally will not embrace a position on any issue if it can be shown
that the public is opposed to it. He challenged us to have a reporter
ask Bill Clinton: "Do you have any positions on any issues which differ
from the majority opinion of the American public?"

CROWD CHEERS BUSH'S CALL FOR BETTER SCHOOLS
President Bush took his message of education reform to
students, teachers and parents at a Christian school in Marietta
on Wednesday, emphasizing his support for giving parents more
freedom to bail out of public schools by funneling federal dollars
into private schools.
The audience of about 1,000 children and grown-ups, enduring
the muggy gymnasium at Mount Paran Christian School, cheered the
President's references to traditional family values, a ban on
abortion, voluntary school prayer, the blessing about not having
to worry about nuclear war any more -- and the effect of choice on
education.

Bush Cites 'Troubling' Figures On Reading
President Bush Wednesday preempted an Education Department
report scheduled to be released Thursday by announcing new
"troubling statistics" and saying the nation has "a long way to go"
in improving students' reading ability.
Education Secretary Alexander was scheduled to use the report,
"Reading In and Out of School,' to discuss the urgent need for more
involvement by parents in their children's schooling and the lack
of emphasis on reading at home and in the classroom.
There has been a longstanding struggle this election year in
the White House to extract from Cabinet secretaries newsworthy
announcements that Bush could make. Many of his numerous speeches
are repetitious policy statements and lack new information and heft
that could attract more news coverage.
Wednesday night, Education Department officials appeared not
to have known that the White House was releasing part of the
reading report. But department spokeswoman Etta Fielek said, "As
far as I'm concerned, the President can do whatever he wants."

BUSH TELLS NEW OFFICERS DEFENSE IS A PRIORITY
ANNAPOLIS -- President Bush challenged the nation Wednesday
to "avoid the folly" of isolationism and argued against euphoric
defense cuts simply because the Cold War is won. "As a nation we
have yet to prove we can lead when there is no enemy on the
doorstep," Bush told the 1,010 graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy.
Samuel Skinner said Bush will make the foreign policy message
a big part of his re-election campaign and expects it to overwhelm
doubts on other issues in the final decision of many voters this
year. "It's obviously a real strength. You don't run from
strength," Skinner said.

BUSH STAYING OUT OF PUBLIC ABORTION PLATFORM FIGHT
President Bush is staying out of the Republican Party platform
builders' public fight over abortion, but privately the White House
has made sure the strong anti-abortion language will remain in the
platform, officials said Wednesday.
But Bush's re-election strategists have concluded it is better
for the President to say as little as possible about the subject
to avoid alienating Republicans who support abortion rights. "The
less he personally elevates it, the less emotion and tension there
is on the subject,' said a campaign official.
Thus, Bush declined to discuss the platform fight when asked
Wednesday if the party should make its abortion language more
flexible. "We've got a good process working all that out," Bush
said, adding that he would leave it to the platform committee.

PRESIDENTIAL RACE A "THREE-HANDED GAME'
Ross Perot is no longer just a wild card in the presidential
campaign. A USA Today analysis shows Perot is showing enough
support in the West to pose a potential threat in the electoral
college.
USA Today's analysis of 25 state polls found: Bush was first
and Perot last in 6 polls before mid-April; Since April 18 -- when
the Texas poll showed Perot leading -- Bush has led in eight polls
east of the Mississippi. Perot led in 8 Western states; In those
later state polls, where nearly half the 538 electoral votes are
at stake, Perot's support would earn him 128 votes; Bush would take
115. Leads in earlier polls bring Bush's total to 190.

The poll surveyed 115 chief executives from both the Fortune
500 industrial companies and Fortune 500 service companies. of the

Clinton. The rest were undecided. Forty-four percent said they

REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN CALLS PEROT 'WALKING CONTRADICTION'
LAS VEGAS -- Richard Bond on Wednesday called Ross Perot a
"walking contradiction" who either doesn't know what he stands for
or won't tell on such subjects as abortion and gun control.
"Perot says he is for abortion but always shifts the question
to adoption," Bond said. "He says he is for gun control, but
endorses the NRA. He says he is against government spending, but
grew fat on government contracts."
Bond said that although Perot is a "walking contradiction" on
the issues, he is doing well in the polls because people believe
he would bring a new kind of leadership to the country. Bond also
had little good to say about Bill Clinton, whom he called a "failed
governor from a small state."
Vice President Quayle, speaking in Colorado before a visit to
the Air Force Academy, said Perot could well emerge as Bush's chief
rival. "The unexpected has happened," Quayle said. "We will take
a Ross Perot candidacy seriously."

QUAYLE CALLS ON FATHERS TO PUT THEIR KIDS FIRST
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colorado -- Vice President Quayle called
on fathers Wednesday to put their children first, as he escalated
the "traditional values" debate he ignited last week when he
criticized single motherhood.
"Just as you fulfill your duties as officers in the armed
forces,' Quayle admonished male graduates at the Air Force Academy,
"never, never forget the obligation that comes first: to be the
loyal and loving father that your children deserve."
Sounding like combative former Vice President Spiro Agnew,
Quayle also attacked "the cultural elite" in the news media and
Hollywood who "will denounce you for raising the subject" of "a
poverty of values." But Quayle refused to endorse the repeal of
gay rights legislation favored by many Colorado conservatives he's
courting.
(Brian Weber, Scripps Howard)
HOUSE APPROVES VAST ENERGY BILL
The House passed a massive energy bill Wednesday that would
affect virtually everything from the structure of the electric
utility industry to the amount of water used by shower heads.
The 381 to 37 vote came after a large majority of members
easily defeated an attempt to make oil companies pay the cost of
expanding the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The bill now
goes to a conference with the Senate, which passed a similar
measure 94 to 4 in February.
Both bills contain parts of President Bush's proposed national
energy strategy, but the Administration prefers the Senate version.
Secretary Watkins called Thursday's vote "a major victory for
President Bush's leadership" in energy policy but said the
Administration objects to provisions that would limit state natural
gas regulation and offshore oil drilling.

LAWMAKER LINKED TO VIOLATIONS
A supervisor at the House Post Office has told federal
prosecutors that he improperly exchanged postage vouchers from Rep.
Rostenkowski for cash, in amounts that varied from several hundred
dollars to more than $2,000, according to sources familiar with the
grand jury investigation.
The supervisor, James C. Smith, who has been granted immunity
from prosecution by U.S. Attorney James Stephens, alleged that the
cash transactions totaled between $18,000 and $20,000 over the last
five years, sources said. House records show Rostenkowski has
submitted postage vouchers totaling more than $24,000 since 1986.

SDI WOULD COST BILLIONS MORE
THAN ADMINISTRATION ESTIMATES, REPORT SAYS
Deploying an antimissile defense system will cost $37 billion
over five years, about $10 billion more than the Bush
Administration estimates, a congressional report said Wednesday.
The CBO said costs for SDI from fiscal 1994 to fiscal 1997
would be about $8 billion a year. President Bush has requested
$5.4 billion for the system in the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1.
In a statement, the SDI office said it will study the report
to determine its technical merits. The Pentagon agency pointed out
that the report said delaying deployment could result in increased
problems and that savings from alternative plans would eventually
have to be spent if a system is built.

ARTISTS JOIN IN ATTACK ON NEA'S RADICE
Leaders of the arts community spent Wednesday complaining to
Congress that artistic freedom and their decision-making authority
have been undermined by acting NEA Chairman Anne-Imelda Radice.
Susan Krane, curator of 20th century art at the High Museum

panel halted their deliberations because Miss Radice had "severely

INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION: A HAZY PICTURE
The nation's factories released 4.8 billion pounds of toxic
chemicals, including many cancer-causing substances, into the air,
ground and water in 1990, about 11 percent less than the year
before, the EPA reported Wednesday.
But the EPA cautioned that some of the reductions may only
reflect changes in reporting techniques used by companies. And
while overall numbers were reduced, the volume of toxic chemicals
poured into rivers, lakes, and streams increased by 4 million
pounds, or about 2% in 1990, the agency said.
Nevertheless, EPA officials said the pollution figures
covering 313 toxic chemicals used at 23,648 industrial plants
seemed to represent a steady movement toward reduced emissions
since the reports were first required in 1988.

ECONOMISTS SEE SUSTAINED RECOVERY
The nation's top business economists are optimistic the

The National Association of Business Economists predicted that
gross domestic product in the second quarter would increase 2.6%,
up from a previous estimate of 2.1%, made in February.
Evidence of increased consumer confidence turned up in
Wednesday's report of a gain in durable-goods orders. The orders
rose 1.4% in April, after gains of 2.3% in March, 0.2% in February
and 2.3% in January, the Commerce Department reported. The four-
month increase is the longest sequence of growth in five years, the
government said.

CHILD PORNOGRAPHY LAW HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL
A federal judge has declared unconstitutional provisions of
a child pornography law that required elaborate record-keeping for
sexually explicit images of adults.
Judge Stanley Sporkin said he and the plaintiffs condemn child
pornography and if the record-keeping had been limited to material
involving under-aged models "it would be constitutional." "It
becomes impermissible only because the act reaches all individuals
engaged in sexually explicit conduct regardless of age. He barred
its enforcement against anyone who exercises "due diligence to
satisfy themselves that the subjects in these images are over 18
years of age."
Justice Department Spokesman Paul McNulty said the Justice
Department is reviewing Sporkin's opinion and will decide later
whether to appeal.

BUSH ACTS TO TIGHTEN OAS SEA EMBARGO AGAINST HAITI
Moving to tighten the economic noose around Haiti's military-
backed regime, the Bush Administration prepared Wednesday to close
U.S. ports to ships trading with Haiti.
U.S. officials expressed hope Wednesday that other OAS nations
would also quickly restrict port access. They said this would
force shippers to rethink their trade with Haiti.

COAST GUARD RETURNS 524 HAITIANS
The Coast Guard repatriated 524 Haitians -- including 272
picked up at sea Tuesday -- and the White House said President
Bush's policy allowing the return of refugees without the usual
immigration interviews was working "unusually well."
The White House said Wednesday there are now fewer Haitian
boats "consequently putting fewer people at risk." It also
reported that a growing number of refugees are applying for visas
at the U.S. embassy in Port-au-Prince.
The Coast Guard said 272 Haitians were rescued in
international waters Tuesday by the cutter Confidence. Petty
Officer Toni Long said the 272 -- all rescued from one 35-foot boat
-- were returned to Port-au-Prince Wednesday without first being
interviewed by INS agents.
Rep. Shaw said the Bush Administration had taken the only
alternative available and was "bending over backwards to try to
accommodate them without opening the floodgates for massive
migration to the U.S., which for south Florida would be a
disaster."
New York Mayor Dinkins called Bush's policy "shockingly
inhumane.' Wade Henderson of the NAACP said, "The forced return of
Haitian refugees with such insensitivity to the political dangers
they face is cruel and unconscionable."

U.N. OFFICIAL REBUKES U.S. ON HAITIANS
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, Sadako Ogata of
Japan, in Geneva sharply criticized the Bush Administration
Wednesday for returning Haitian refugees to Haiti without giving
them the chance to appeal for protection and asylum.
Ogata said in a letter to Under Secretary of State Lawrence
Eagleburger that she was "deeply disturbed" by President Bush's
executive order on the Haitians Sunday. She said the order "denies
those Haitians genuinely in need of international protection the
opportunity to present their claims, thus exposing them to risk
upon their return to Haiti."

BUSH DEFENDS TURNBACK OF HAITIAN BOAT PEOPLE
President Bush on Wednesday defended his decision to turn back
Haitians fleeing their homeland, saying "we cannot and will not
open our doors to economic refugees from all over the world."
Bush conceded that "to some it appears to be a racist policy,"
but he said he would deny that. The President told students,
parents and educators at the Mount Paran Christian School that he
is convinced that people in Haiti are not being physically
oppressed by the military-controlled government.
Bill Clinton, meanwhile, said he was "appalled" by the
turnback policy. "This policy must not stand," Clinton said in a
statement. "It is a blow to the principle of first asylum and to
America's moral authority in defending the rights of refugees
around the world. Ths most recent policy shift is another sad
example of the Administration's callous response to a terrible
human tragedy."
He said that if he were president, he would grant temporary
asylum to the refugees until the U.S. restored Haiti's elected
government.

Bush Strongly Defends Policy of Returning Haitians
ATLANTA -- President Bush Wednesday staunchly defended his new
policy of forcibly returning fleeing Haitian refugees to their
homeland, saying America will not permit entry to those he
described as primarily economic, not political, refugees.
Bush likened the situation in Haiti to a bazaar, where hapless
refugees were being taken advantage of by those seeking exorbitant
fees for rickety boat rides, and described the new U.S. policy as
putting a compassionate end to such extortion by dissuading
potential travelers from making the trip.

STRICT EMBARGO URGED FOR HAITI
Rep. Rangel said Wednesday an embargo to force an end to
military rule in Haiti has failed because several countries,
including Venezuela, France, Great Britain and the Dominican
Republic, have ignored it.
Rangel called on the President to "act decisively" to tighten
the embargo and show that "we really mean business." Rangel also
called for negotiations with Haitian military leaders, suggesting
that Bush dispatch Colin Powell to Haiti to talk. "We need to
convince them that we really mean business this time," Rangel said.
"Colin Powell should go and convince them that they are in a weak
position. That ought not to be a hard sell."

'THE STREET WAS A RIVER OF BLOOD'
20 Die In Sarajevo Shelling; EC Votes Yugoslav Sanctions
BELGRADE -- A volley of mortar fire crashed into a crowded
marketplace in besieged Sarajevo Wednesday, killing at least 20
civilians and wounding more than a hundred others in what local
officials described as perhaps the bloodiest single attack of
Bosnia's two-month-old factional war.
Officials of Bosnia's Muslim-dominated government told
journalists that the mortar fire came from the same Serb batteries
around Sarajevo that have been raining shells on the city for
weeks, but Serb militia commanders called the assertion "Muslim
propaganda" and insisted that none of their troops had fired the
fatal rounds
Meeting in Brussels Wednesday, EC officials agreed to ban
trade with the new Yugoslav union, freeze export credits and
suspend all scientific and technical cooperation with the Belgrade
government. The EC officials had also considered an oil embargo,
but sources close to the EC discussions said it was likely the
conferees would leave such a step to the U.N., which is also
readying tough sanctions against Belgrade.
The U.S. is conferring with other members of the U.N. Security
Council on a package of economic sanctions against the Belgrade
government, and U.S. officials said they were hopeful the Council
would be ready to vote on the matter by Friday. In Washington,
meanwhile, Richard Boucher described the latest Bosnian bloodshed
as "cruelty and suffering," the like of which "Europe has not
seen. since 1945.' Boucher also said that the U.S. considers
"Serbia and its allies in the so-called Yugoslav military
overwhelmingly responsible for this appalling tragedy."

NO CONCESSIONS OFFERED TO EUROPEANS
IN WASHINGTON TRADE TALKS, U.S. SAYS
Secretary Baker and two other Cabinet members met for six
hours Wednesday with the top trade official of the EC in an effort
to settle a bitter transatlantic dispute over farm subsidies that
has deadlocked five years of talks to invigorate the global rules
of trade.
After the talks broke up, Carla Hills said the American side
had offered no concessions to Frans Andriessen, the EC commissioner
for foreign affairs and trade, during the meeting at Blair House.
Instead, Hills said the Bush Administration offered "a number of
suggestions" on how the EC could expand its reforms so they deal
directly with issues in the trade talks. These include limits on
subsidies for overseas sales and lowering of European trade
barriers. "We are trying to be creative and make suggestions
incorporating what they have already done into what we hope they
will do," Hills said.
The Europeans, though, have declared the announced reforms are
as far as they can go politically. Nonetheless, Hills said
Andriessen will take the U.S. proposals back to Europe for
evaluation by the EC and its 12 member nations.

U.S. CAUTIONS RUSSIA ON INVESTMENT SNAGS
MOSCOW -- Deputy Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger, in
a speech inside the Kremlin Wednesday night, warned Russian
authorities and business interests that American investment in the
former Soviet Union is still "severely, if not fatally, hampered"
by bureaucratic restrictions and uncertainties.
Eagleburger, speaking to the Trade and Economic Council of
U.S. and Russian businessmen, said the U.S. is determined to build
a "lasting partnership" with the nations of the former Soviet Union
as they move toward democracy and capitalism.
But he cautioned the Russians that American investors cannot
be forced to do business here -- and are unlikely to invest if the
climate does not improve. Eagleburger cited shifting, confusing
laws and regulations; huge increases in tax rates for foreigners
and foreign companies; uncertainty about who owns what and who
controls Russia's vast natural resources, with various levels of
government competing for the wealth; and the former Soviet Union's
$190 million debt to American companies.

EX-FOES MAY JOIN TECHNOLOGY PACT
Secretary Baker has proposed that members of the former Soviet
bloc be given associate membership in the Cold War-era organization
that kept sensitive technology out of the hands of the Soviet Union
and its allies, U.S. and diplomatic sources confirmed Wednesday.
The idea is among a package of U.S. proposals that would give
a dramatically different focus to the Coordinating Committee on
Multilateral Export Controls, known as Cocom. The initiative is
to be discussed Monday at a high-level Cocom meeting in Paris.
Baker wrote to U.S. allies last week, proposing that nations
of the former East bloc be invited to join a Cocom "cooperation
council." Baker's suggestion, officials said, is designed to
encourage former communist nations to enact control regulations
more quickly.

NATO SEEKS FLEXIBILITY IN PEACE ROLE
BRUSSELS -- NATO members Wednesday endorsed plans for using
the alliance's troops as peacekeepers in conflicts throughout
Europe, a decision that, if approved, would permit it to send its
forces to war-torn Yugoslavia. But Secretary Cheney said the U.S.
does not "have at present
any plans for our forces to be
involved in Yugoslavia."
Under the proposal, NATO soldiers could be sent on
peacekeeping missions mounted by the 51-nation CSCE. Cheney said
he expected that NATO foreign ministers would approve the plan in
a meeting next week in Oslo.

VIETNAM SAID TO PUSH FOR IMPROVED TIES WITH U.S.
Vietnam pushed for rapid normalization of ties with the U.S.
in a high-level meeting but Washington is adhering to its step-
by-step approach, the State Department said Wednesday. The
exchange came during a meeting Tuesday between Undersecretary of
State Arnold Kanter and Vietnamese Vice Foreign Minister Tran Quang
Co.
During the meeting, Kanter reviewed the status of U.S. efforts
to resolve the fate of 2,266 American servicemen from the Vietnam
war who are unaccounted for and stressed the need for achieving
"the fullest possible accounting" of these Americans, Richard
Boucher said.
Co "reaffirmed Vietnam's commitment to implement the five-
point agreement on POW/MIA cooperation that was reached during
Assistant Secretary Solomon's March 4-5 visit to Hanoi, as well as
the U.N. peace settlement for Cambodia," Boucher added. (Reuter)

presented no toxic danger or nutritional problems.

YUGOSLAVIA
ABC's Peter Jennings: We begin tonight with a ruthless civil war.
We have been reporting for many weeks now on the civil war in
Bosnia-Hercegovina -- part of what used to Yugoslavia. Today, in
just one incident the cameras have captured just how outright
ruthless it has become. Serbian forces which have been trying to
dominate the Muslims and Croatians in the republic had agreed to
a truce in the capital Sarajevo. Hundreds of already shell-
shocked residents came out of their shelters. They made a terrible
mistake. Twenty people died. Hundreds were wounded. As ABC's
David Ensor reports tonight, some people believe that a monster is
waging war against them.
Ensor reports eyewitnesses say 3 mortar shells exploded where
people were lined up in the street to get bread. The attack
shattered another truce. In an interview, Serbia's foreign
minister said the attack was crime against humanity. Serbian
officials insist that they cannot control the irregular forces
around Sarajevo, and that the massacre was not their fault.
Jennings reports it was a week ago in Washington that the Bosnian
foreign minister pleaded for help: My country, he said then, has
become a slaughterhouse, and the world's inaction is a disgrace.
The words and today's action apparently have hit home. As ABC's
John McWethy reports, the U.S. has decided it perhaps should now
play a leading role in trying to end the carnage.
McWethy reports the continuing slaughter is now being blamed on
just one group and its leaders. In a number of different ways and
places the U.S. government today underscored that point. Lawrence
Eagleburger was visiting Moscow.
(Eagleburger: "There is simply no question in our minds that at
this stage Serbia and the Serbians inside Serbia is principally
responsible for what is going on.")
For weeks the U.S. said it was waiting for Europe to act. Now the
U.S. is working in the U.N. Security Council on a resolution that
would cut off oil shipments, air traffic and all other trade to
Serbia. France, China and Russia, all of whom have a veto on the
Security Council, want a more gradual approach starting with an air
embargo. In Brussels today, the EC finally passed its own set of
sanctions -- a trade embargo that does not include cutting off oil.
The defense minister of Bosnia today asked for the U.S. to
intervene with the Sixth Fleet. U.S. officials continue to say
that sending in American troops is not on the list of moves they
are considering.
ABC's Jim Laurie reports that in an interview, Serbia's president
Slobodan Milosevic denounced sanctions as unjust. He insists
Serbia is not to blame for the war in Bosnia.

White House News Summary
Thursday, May 28, 1992 -- B-2
(Milosevic: "We were not provoking or supporting hostilities.
Hostilities are absolutely against interests of Serbs in Bosnia.")
The Serbian leader blames the West for encouraging the break-up of
Yugoslavia.
(Milosevic: "We are blamed practically just because of one fact
that we wanted to preserve our existing country.")
In an attempt to satisfy the West, Serbia says it is withdrawing
some army units from Bosnia. But the reality is that 65,000 of
those Serbian troops were born in Bosnia. They will stay. It's
not clear whether they will take any orders at all from president
Milosevic as they fight to seize more Bosnian land continues. So
while international sanctions will put more pressure on Milosevic
and his government, there is little likelihood that it will stop
the war.
(ABC-Lead)
NBC's Tom Brokaw: Good evening from Los Angeles where tonight one
month after the trouble began there is a continuing uneasy peace,
but half around the world the tribal wars of what once Yugoslavia
reached new lows today. Serbian forces struck directly at innocent
civilians in Bosnia, and while the West was outraged, not much is
expected to change.
NBC's Tom Aspell reports the U.S. once again strongly criticized
Serbia.
(Richard Boucher: "I reiterate that we consider Serbia and its
allies and the so-called Yugoslav military to bear overwhelming
responsibility for this appalling tragedy.")
In Belgrade the Serbs were in no mood listen to anybody. Voicelav
Sheshill [phonetic], a radical leader popular among the working
classes here, said that the U.S. and the EC states were now
Serbia's enemies. Serbia is not Iraq he said. If anyone tries to
fight it, they will be defeated. Extremists here are confident
that the West will never intervene militarily to stop the killing.
But in the end, that's exactly what may be necessary because
sanctions against Serbia are probably not going to work. Serbia's
military has stockpiled food and fuel to last for months. And the
country can feed itself for longer. As for Western military
intervention, it does not appear imminent.
(Secretary Cheney: "We are not contemplating at present certainly
because we've not been asked to -- not contemplating any deployment
of U.S. military forces to the region.")
Today the Red Cross announced it was suspending activities in the
area.
(NBC-Lead)
CBS's Dan Rather: Blood was pouring down the main street of
Sarajevo today. At least 20 men, women and children were killed.
And more than 100 were wounded as shells rained down on civilians
in the capital of Bosnia. The atrocity by Serbian troops sparked
new calls for foreign help for the helpless in Bosnia and an end
to the wars that have shattered Yugoslavia.
CBS's David Martin reports the slaughter in Sarajevo cries out for
action.
(Richard Boucher: "The situation in the city is terrible. Europe
has not seen such cruelty and suffering since 1945. Time for
excuses and procrastinations is gone.")

But U.S. officials say it will be Friday at the earliest before the
U.N. Security Council takes up a resolution to impose economic
sanctions against Yugoslavia. And if that doesn't work, there are
voices calling for the U.S. to mount a military campaign against
Yugoslavia much as it did against Iraq.
(Bob Schneider, Croatian-American Association: "We heard a lot
during the Kuwait crisis about how this was not over oil -- that
it was over morality and people being oppressed. And we have the
same situation now, and we think the U.S. has a moral obligation.")
U.S. officials admit they have been sluggish in their reaction to
Yugoslavia's nightmare but reject suggestions they would be willing
to do more if not just lives but oil were at stake as it was in
Kuwait. For the moment, Bush Administration officials say the U.S.
military is prepared to airlift relief supplies into Sarajevo but
only if the Yugoslav government guarantees safe passage.

TRIP/ANNAPOLIS
Jennings: From the U.S. and Russia [regarding the graduating class
at the Derzinsky Naval Academy in St. Petersburg] tonight, two very
different assessments of the future. First, Annapolis, where it
was graduation day at the U.S. Naval Academy. It was a chance for
President Bush to present his view of a very active American
military role in the new world order.
ABC's Brit Hume: The President outlined for the graduates a vastly
changed world and then sent forth a U.S. defense posture not so
vastly changed.
(TV coverage of President Bush speaking.)
It reflected this President's view of his and his country's
continuing role in the world, a world now threatened he said by
regional conflicts that had long been submerged by the East-West
struggle.
(President Bush: "Ancient hatred, ethnic rivalry frozen in time
threaten to revive themselves and to reignite.")
He cited the civil slaughter in what was Yugoslavia and friction
among the former Soviet states. He called for passage of his
proposed aid for those states. But mostly he called for a far-
flung military establishment with worldwide responsibilities for
keeping the peace.
(President Bush: "America is safest at home when we stand as a
force for stability in the world. And this I pledge as Commander-
and-Chief: America's forces will continue to be the best trained,
the best equipped and the most battle-ready forces anywhere in the
entire world.")
The President warned the nation against turning away from the
global role he favors but which has earned him criticism from those
on both the left and right who think the country's energies must
now be committed at home.
(President Bush: "More than once we've come late to conflict and
turned back mortal threats to freedom. But as a nation we have
yet to prove that we can lead when there is no enemy on the
doorstep.")
The electorate may be in no mood for such challenges. But this
President, who seems so utterly flexible on domestic policy, has
fixed views on foreign policy. And what the public thinks about
it seems to matter much less.

PEROT/TALKING WITH ED ROLLINS AND HAMILTON JORDAN
Brokaw: George Bush and Bill Clinton won the Tuesday primaries in
Kentucky, Idaho and Arkansas. But these days Ross Perot is
stealing the march on both men. He got on the ballot in Texas
today, and his supporters continue to collect petition signatures
around the country. At the same time, Perot is also collecting
something else: some heavyweight political help.
NBC's John Cochran: NBC News has learned that Ross Perot is trying
to sign up some former top guns from both parties. Today a
spokesman for Perot confirmed that Democrat Hamilton Jordan and
Republican Ed Rollins are under consideration for major jobs in the
Perot campaign. Jordan plotted the winning strategy for Jimmy
Carter 16 years ago and then served not so successfully as White
House Chief of Staff in Carter's one-term presidency. Rollins was
the campaign manager for Ronald Reagan's landslide re-election in
1984. But in 1988 Rollins criticized George Bush for choosing Dan
Quayle as his running mate.
(TV coverage of President Bush with Dan Quayle.)
Rollins and Bush still have a mutual dislike even though Rollins'
wife Sherrie is a White House staffer. Bush forced Rollins to quit
as co-chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign after
Rollins' scorned the President for reneging for his no-new-taxes
pledge. Neither Rollins nor Hamilton Jordan has so far agreed to
join Perot's campaign. Only two months ago Rollins thought Perot
had no chance.
(Rollins: "There's no viable chance of him beating George Bush or
beating Bill Clinton. There is a viable chance that he could get
10% of the vote.")
Rollins has since changed his mind, saying Perot can take voters
from both Bush and Clinton. Today Bush and Clinton were pushing
their interest in schools.
(TV coverage of President Bush at a school.)
Aides for both believe or hope that Perot's popularity will nose
dive when he starts taking specific stands on specific issues. But
Dan Quayle said today that Ross Perot could be the President's main
rival this fall, and said Quayle, "We will take a Ross Perot
candidacy seriously."
(NBC-6)
Rather: Ross Perot is expected to make his official, independence
bid for the presidency sometime next month. Today he qualified to
be on the ballots in the home state of Texas and in Florida. So
far Perot's been declared eligible to run in eight states total.
The Perot factor is having a big impact on the presidential
campaign, and it's growing.
CBS's Susan Spencer: To the dismay of the White House, Ross Perot
is talking these days to some big-name Republicans and among them
is Ed Rollins, who ran Ronald Reagan's 1984 presidential campaign.
Rollins tells CBS News that he will hold off any decision on any
possible offer until he has at least met Mr. Perot. The idea of
a competitive three-man race has thrown both parties into a tizzy.
That may be why Vice President Quayle seemed eager to narrow things
down a bit.

White House News Summary
Thursday, May 28, 1992 -- B-5
(Quayle: "It could well be that Ross Perot will be our major
opponent this fall. That would be unusual. It would be a bit
surprising. But perhaps not surprising in the type of election
campaign that we've had thus far.")
With the unpredictable Perot at the race with his billions and his
populism, all 50 states suddenly are up for grabs.
(Charles Black: "It puts the two major party nominee's campaigns
in the position of having to really stretch their resources to run
actively in all the states.")
And a three-way split could give, for example, Clinton a shot at
the South or the President a chance in Democratic strongholds --
say in New York.
(TV coverage of President Bush shaking hands with members of armed
forces.)
(Michael Barone, U.S. News and World Report: "They'll be having
to campaign all over the country and they'll be having to send
different messages because the message that works for you in Texas
may not work for you in California, and the California message may
not work in the Great Lakes. And you've got to try all three of
them.")
About that message: neither Mr. Bush nor Clinton has gone very
negative against Perot. That could alienate voters needed later.
And any notion of running as an outsider seems downright silly as
long as Perot is around. Though both candidates are trying.
(Clinton: "I don't blame anybody for being mad at the
establishment. The question is what are we going to do to change
it?")
Mr. Bush's camp says he'll keep talking change too and for now, let
others subtly attack Perot.
(TV coverage of President Bush at a school.)
(Black: "He really hasn't been part of problems or solutions. So
he's untested as a political leader, and people know they would be
taking a huge risk to put him in charge.")
A senior Bush adviser added today that Ross Perot is like a
shooting star. And like a shooting star, he said, he will flame
out. It sounded somehow almost as much a hope as a prediction.

endorsed welfare reform. But Bill Clinton argues that Gov.

EDITORIALS/COLUMNISTS
VICE PRESIDENT QUAYLE/MURPHY BROWN
Family Values -- "The Bush Administration's initiatives certainly
don't match in breadth or imagination the dimensions of the problem
described by Mr. Quayle in his San Francisco speech. Enterprise
zones, tenant ownership of public housing, tuition vouchers and
welfare revisions won't help much without a massive campaign to
provide jobs in the inner cities
Yet President Bush has
already labeled as unacceptable a Senate-passed bill that includes
everything he sought for the cities plus $1.5 billion for jobs.
To wait for enterprise zones to provide the inner city with jobs
is to postpone a solution indefinitely. Massive public-service
employment is what is needed to close the gap between the demand
for work and what the private sector can provide."
(st. Louis Post-Dispatch, 5/22)
Quayle's 'Pulpit of Bull' -- "There is little doubt that the true
focus of Vice President Quayle's 'Murphy Brown speech' was the high
rate of illegitimate births in the poor urban neighborhoods
populated by people of color. His effort to wrap the issue in the
generic cloak of 'family values' was merely the latest conservative
strategy for ducking responsibility to improve the lot of the least
well-off in our society Vice President Quayle complained about
television character Murphy Brown's 'bearing a child alone and
calling it just another lifestyle choice.' On the issue of urban
poverty, the Bush Administration offers divisive rhetoric and calls
it political leadership."
(Boston Globe, 5/26)
Urban Blame Game -- "With these words, Quayle is right on target:
'Children need love and discipline. They need mothers and fathers.
A welfare check is not a husband. The state is not a father.
But in pointing at single mothers and Hollywood role models, Quayle
conveniently omits, as powerful forces roiling inner cities,
racism, white flight, disinvestment, shortchanged schools, global
economic change and, by the way, nearly 12 years of White House
neglect. The trouble with Quayle, President Bush and the Republican
Party they represent is that while they talk about 'family values,
they do nothing to help real families. Quayle said he wanted to
start by changing the welfare system to discourage dependency,
encourage work, promote marriage and enforce child support.
Terrific. If Quayle would just open his eyes, he'd discover that
Democrats on Capitol Hill -- and thoughtful Republicans on the left
and right -- have been trying to do just that. It's the White
House that has failed to fully fund the 1988 welfare-revision law
that offers child care and health insurance to welfare mothers who
seek education, training and jobs."
(New York Newsday, 5/21)
Quayle And Murphy Brown -- "The most remarkable aspect of the
Quayle earthquake was the White House reaction. President Bush ran
for cover with the lame comment that he would not criticize 'a very
popular television show.' That's pitiful. The President of the
U.S. is afraid to take a shot at a sitcom! Not since he ran out on
his tax pledge has he waffled and wobbled so embarrassingly."

Buckling Bush -- "The really interesting thing about the media
mob's piling on Vice President Quayle is not so much that it
happened but what didn't happen. Instead of rallying vigorously
to his Vice President's defense of traditional values, President
Bush and his staff buckled and quavered between cautious support
and distancing. Once again, the President has refused to turn
seeming adversity into opportunity
This latest fiasco is
indicative of his lack of his lack of leadership on almost anything
of substantive concern to most Americans since the end of Desert
Storm
Political leadership is rarely painless, but anyone
afraid of the pain doesn't have to volunteer for the job. Mr. Bush
wanted to be President. It would be a positive step, both for him
and for us, if he would remind everyone why. " (Detroit News, 5/24)
The Day Quayle Said Something Right -- "Three cheers for Dan Quayle
for saying what needs to be said -- and what the President hasn't
the clarity or courage to say
President George Bush gave the
liberal media running room with his flat-footed handling of the
matter. If ever there were an issue on which a conservative
president ought to be forceful and unequivocal, unwed parenthood
is it. Yet the oh-so-cautious, milquetoast George Bush could
manage only a pinched and tepid endorsement of fathers."

HAITI
Haiti: The Right Direction -- "The Bush Administration has, in
effect, acknowledged that its policy of picking up Haitian migrants
on the high seas and screening them at the Guantanamo Bay naval
base didn't work
The
new
policy
--
escorting
the
boats
directly back to Haiti -- makes a good deal of sense
We think
it's time for the Bush Administration to acknowledge that the other
pillar of its Haiti policy has likewise, failed: the full-fledged
economic embargo against the island has not brought about
Aristide's return to power. Moreover, there's no sign that the
left-wing former cleric is likely to regain the presidency any time
soon. Thus, the embargo is serving no useful purpose; and it's
apparently bringing the Haitian poor to the brink of starvation,
forcing them to take to the high seas. Why not lift it?"
(New York Post, 5/27)
Causes And Cures of Haitian Exodus -- "After quickly recognizing
the failure of his policy toward Haitian refugees, President Bush
used the Memorial Day weekend to change course yet again. But his
new order to return the boat people to Haiti only compounds the
callousness of previous efforts without addressing the fundamental
forces driving the exodus
Indeed, both friend and foe of
Bush's policy shifts recognize that the poverty fueling the
migration must be addressed. Regardless of what standards the U.S.
applies to those who take to the seas in rickety boats, thousands
more will follow because Haiti is, for too many, hell on Earth.
Only when Haitians have reason to believe in their country's future
will they have reason to stay there." (New York Daily News, 5/27)

FOREIGN MEDIA REACTION
EUROPEAN DEFENSE
"It was perhaps no coincidence that the heightened awareness
of the horrors of war in Yugoslavia hit the headlines on the very
day that France and Germany agreed to push ahead with their
proposals for a 35,000-man joint army corps
That is why it is
such a good moment for the U.S. to rub Europe's nose in the reality
of its political incompetence and military irrelevance, by drawing
attention to a crisis it has conspicuously failed to solve, and by
hinting at a military intervention which, without NATO's help, it
would be quite unable to organize. Yet I wonder if it is a wise
thing to do. When Europeans have had time to think about it, they
may decide to take the task of building a force which would be less
dependent on the U.S. more seriously." (Financial Times, Britain)
"The affront to the Americans is unmistakable. They, the real
guarantors of the European security, are justified in feeling
snubbed and have made a demarche in Bonn."
(Rheinischer Merkur/Christ und Welt, Germany)
"Wasn't it the Americans who pressed the Europeans for years
to assume more responsibility for their own continent? And we must
not forget that Paris has given assurances that if the Western
Alliance or one of its members is attacked, the entire corps will
come under NATO command. So why complain?"
(Rheinische Post, Germany)
"Italy is siding with Washington on the French-German
Eurocorps, out of fear that it may lead to a 'duplication' of U.S.
and European interests and military strategies."
(Corriere della Sera, Italy)
YUGOSLAVIA
"The worst aspect of all this, from Bush's point of view, is
that the televised scenes of anarchy in Bosnia are reminding
Americans of scenes of anarchy in America: the burning and looting
of Los Angeles. Instead of presiding over a New World Order,
George Bush now looks like a helpless spectator of the spread of
anarchy at home and abroad. In the circumstances, I think
American-led military intervention against Serbia is now probable.
True, no vital American interest is at stake in Bosnia, as there
was in Kuwait. But there is a vital White House interest at stake:
the re-election of George Bush. He would probably feel safe enough
if there were only Bill Clinton to contend with
But with Ross
Perot in the field, the outcome in November is unpredictable
Those are adequate reasons for adopting a forward policy in what
was Yugoslavia."
(Times, Britain)
"If it is true that Europe is powerless in Yugoslavia, the
Americans are powerless as well. One could call James Baker's
declarations hinting at a possible military intervention gratuitous
as long as they will not be accompanied by any concrete offer of
support for such an operation."
(Le Monde, France)
White House News Summary
Thursday, May 28, 1992 -- C-4
"Baker's declarations in London on May 22 reflect an
indisputable change in the U.S. tone, even though these
declarations were formulated with extreme prudence by the Secretary
of State
This change reveals the Bush Administration's growing
exasperation with the behavior of the former Yugoslav army and
Serbian militias
U.S. officials are increasingly
concerned by the fact that repeated, unpunished aggressions by
Slobodan Milosevic's regime mock the words spoken by Washington
about the New World Order at the time of the Gulf War. Also, the
Americans are worried because the Bosnian conflict creates a
precedent in Europe
It is the extension of the war in the
former Yugoslavia that is frightening."
(Le Monde, France)
"At the order of President Bush, Baker gave the Serbian
conquest warriors a harsher dressing down in Lisbon than what has
been heard from the White House or the State Department so far
Baker's reference to the 'humanitarian nightmare' marks at least
a verbal turnabout. However, in terms of the issue, there is no
change in the cautious U.S. policy, which is accompanied by only
moderate public interest. Stepped up sanctions against Belgrade?
Maybe. Threatening gestures with the 6th Fleet off Dubrovnik?
Preferably not."
(Frankfurter Allgemeine, Germany)
"[Referring to Secretary Baker's remarks concerning a possible
military intervention], this is a threat that need not be taken
seriously in Belgrade. Because if the U.S. were really serious,
they would have had to put not only an oral but also a military
escalation in process
Much more effective than announcements
that cannot be fulfilled, could be Baker's assessment of Belgrade's
policies as 'barbaric.

MORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
BOB
TEETER
Rent
Tomorrow we will be having lunch with our new advertising team.
As you know, we have incorporated a new advertising agency called
November Company, which will be run by Martin Puris and Clayton
wilhite. They have recruited several top people from a number of
different agencies to work on the campaign for the next six
months. The people at the lunch will be the heads of the various
creative teams who will be creating, writing, and producing our
ads. Each of them are the top person at their own agency. Some
have been involved in previous campaigns and some have not had
any political experience.
The purpose of the lunch is simply to allow you to meet them and
them to meet you.
My suggestion is that I kick it off, have each of them tell you
who they are and what they have done, and for you to give them
some of your thoughts about your record, the campaign, and the
country. We can close with a discussion on their observations
about the campaign, Clinton and Perot.
I also thought it might be good to ask Barbara if she could drop
in sometime if she is in town. Assuming this is agreeable with
you, I will call her and Susan Porter Rose this afternoon and
mention it to them.
At some point, we will have to schedule two or three half days or
full days in June or July for them to film some of your different
activities. They will be filming parts of your regular schedule
as: well.
THE SEATING CHART FOR THIS LUNCHEON
WILL BE FORWARDED IN THE MORNING.

PURPOSE

McCain.
II. BACKGROUND
Senator John McCain faces re-election this November.
Although he does not have any primary opposition at this
time, he is expected to have a competitive race this Fall
due to his involvement in the Savings and Loan debacle and
the anti-incumbent mood in Arizona. His Democrat
challengers are retired Air Force General Truman Spangrud,
businessman and attorney Walter Mybeck, and feminist Claire
Sargent. The primary election is September 8, 1992.
This event will greatly assist Senator McCain in fundraising
efforts for his election this Fall. The ticket prices for
this event are $1,000, $500, $250, and $150 and the McCain
campaign expects to raise approximately $710,000.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
THROUGH:
SHERRIE ROLLINS
FROM:
BOBBIE KILBERG
MARK FRANTZ
SUBJECT:
ARIZONA
I.
Recent Correspondence
Governor Fife Symington has written you on the following
topics:
-- Concern about the management of the Federally-
owned national forest lands in Arizona.
-- Support for your efforts in response to the civil
unrest in Los Angeles.
-- Concern about his state's FY 1992 share allotment
under Title XIX of the Social Security Act. Although
Arizona was granted only half of its original request,
Governor Symington thanked Sam Skinner for personally
informing him of the outcome of Arizona's request.
State Senator Gus Arzberger (D-Phoenix) expressed his
concern about the Federal government and the Arizona Nature
Conservancy acquiring private property in the state, thereby
weakening the tax base of rural jurisdictions.
Phoenix Mayor Paul Johnson, Mesa Mayor Peggy Rubach, Tempe
Mayor Harry Mitchell and Scottsdale Mayor Herbert Drinkwater
all wrote to ask you to direct the EPA to end, or at the
least extend, the timetables on numerous water regulations
affecting the Phoenix-metropolitan area.
Tucson Mayor George Miller asked you to implement
legislation that codifies Arizona's Department of Commerce
Defense Restructuring Program.
Santa Cruz County Chair Ronald Morriss requested your
support in urging Governor Symington to declare his county
an economic disaster area, since it has suffered from
excessive rainfall.
ARIZONA BRIEFING

Discussion
A.
Fort McDowell Reservation/Gaming
A very visible issue in Arizona at the present time is
the gaming controversy surrounding the Fort McDowell
Apache Indian Reservation, which is located east of
Phoenix.
On May 7th, the U.S. Attorney for the District of
Arizona obtained a search and seizure warrant to
confiscate all video gambling machines located at four
gaming establishments in the Phoenix area. The raids
were conducted on May 12th and all were successful
except for the one at Fort McDowell, where over 100
individuals and vehicles blocked the entrance to the
gaming center. Federal law enforcement officials who
had seized the gaming machines were thus prevented from
moving the confiscated material off the reservation.
Arizona Indian leaders united behind the Fort McDowell
Apaches and Governor Symington met with the Fort
McDowell tribal leaders to arrange a ten day "cooling
off" period, during which time the gaming machines
would remain in the vans.
At the end of the ten days, May 21st, Governor
Symington met with the leaders of all five tribes
affected by the four gaming center raids and offered a
plan that would allow the gaming machines to stay on
the reservation but with set limits on their
operations. Please note that this issue remains
unresolved.
B.
Arizona State Legislature
Legislative stalemate has resulted from a
Democratically controlled Senate and a Republican
controlled House. In an effort to prompt consideration
of the FY 1993 budget, the House has effectively shut
down its regular session and persuaded Governor
Symington to call a special session of the legislature
to deal specifically with the budget, which must be
enacted by June 30th. It is possible that the Governor
and the House Republicans will use this tactic again,
in order to force action on other extremely contentious
issues.
ARIZONA BRIEFING

C.
Unemployment Figures
As of March of this year, Arizona's unemployment rate
was 8.4 percent compared to 4.7 percent in March of
1991. The City of Phoenix had an unemployment rate of
7.5 percent in March of 1992, up from 4.1 percent a
year before.
D.
Navajo Generating Station
As you know from your visit to the Grand Canyon last
September, the Navajo Generating Station is a huge
coal-fired plant that does not have sulphur dioxide
emissions controls. During your trip, EPA issued a
plan to reduce sulphur dioxide emissions from the plant
by 90 percent, at a cost lower than the original 70
percent emissions reduction proposal. The key part of
the plan, installation of high-tech scrubbers, will
cost an estimated $1.2 billion.
When the plan is complete in 1999, the Navajo
powerplant will have the lowest sulphur dioxide
emissions rating of any coal-fired powerplant in the
country. This agreement marks the first time an
existing powerplant has reduced its emissions because
of visibility impairment under the Clean Air Act
amendments of 1977.
E.
Glen Canyon Dam Environmental Impact Statement
The Glen Canyon Dam is located immediately upstream
from the Grand Canyon and is used to provide
electricity for the surrounding area. The Bureau of
Reclamation is preparing an environmental impact
statement on the operations of the Glen Canyon Dam in
an effort to evaluate alternative ways of operating the
dam which would balance wildlife, recreational and
energy needs. To date, the Bureau has received over
17,000 written comments from interested parties.
The draft environmental impact statement is scheduled
for completion in February of 1993, with the final
statement due in May of 1994.

Surface Transportation
Arizona's apportionment is estimated at $238 million
for FY 1992 compared to $164 million from FY 1991. As
of May 12th, $80 million had already been obligated.
Under the provisions of ISTEA $1.6 billion has been
allocated for Arizona from FY 1992 through FY 1997.
G. Drugs
PCP and LSD are the most abused drugs in the City of
Phoenix, while Mexican-produced marijuana is the most
readily available.
The lucrative crack cocaine trade is primarily
controlled by the Los Angeles-based "Crips" and
"Bloods" gangs. Both are a known force in the major
cities of Arizona.
Total Federal anti-drug assistance to Arizona has
increased from $9.7 million in FY 1989 to an estimated
$19.3 million in FY 1992.
H.
Arizona 2000
On December 12, 1991, Education Secretary Lamar
Alexander participated in the official kick-off
announcement of Arizona 2000 with Governor Fife
Symington. Since that time, the Governor's office has
been extremely helpful in developing a state-wide
strategy.
Governor Symington has created an Education Task Force
which is in the process of issuing a report on
educational reform across the state and is organizing a
committee to lead the Arizona 2000 effort.
Currently, there is not an official Phoenix 2000
effort.
I.
"AZScam"
Last year, seven members of the legislature were
arrested by the Phoenix police and charged in Maricopa
County with accepting large financial contributions in
return for their vote on a bill which would have
ARIZONA BRIEFING
PAGE FIVE
legalized gambling in Arizona. Six members plea
bargained and received sentences ranging from probation
to six years in prison. The seventh member is
currently standing trial.
J.
Sweet Potato Whitefly Infestation
During the past several years, the sweet potato
whitefly has plagued Arizona agriculture. In 1991, the
situation was so bad that many crops had to be left
unharvested. So far in the 1992 growing season, state
agricultural officials have documented a higher
whitefly count than ever.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has accelerated its
research activities geared towards finding a solution
to eradicate the sweet potato whitefly. A national
conference was hosted in February in Houston to bring
together top officials from USDA, state and local
government, academia, and the private sector.
In the FY 1993 budget, USDA has allocated $6.1 million
in funding for whitefly research, up from $2.7 million
this fiscal year.
K.
Water Shortage
Some Arizona farmers are experiencing serious financial
hardship in trying to pay for Central Arizona Project
(CAP) water for crop irrigation. Through an agreement
with the Federal government in 1968, Arizona and
several surrounding states were allocated water from
the Colorado River. At present though, this water has
become extremely costly for agricultural irrigation
with regard to Arizona. Because of CAP's expensive
water rates, some farmers are pumping groundwater for
their needs. Unfortunately, this is not a satisfactory
solution either, because electric costs are also very
high.
In addition, the Arizona Legislature enacted in 1980 a
strict underground water conservation law which
gradually reduces the amount of water that can be taken
from underground supplies.

DEPUTY ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT FOR
POLITICAL AFFAIRS

FROM:
CATHY HUTCHINSON
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR
OFFICE OF POLITICAL AFFAIRS
SUBJECT:
ARIZONA POLITICAL BRIEFING
1992 POLITICAL OUTLOOK
The BUSH-QUAYLE ticket carried Arizona by 60% to 30% margin in
1988. The filing deadline is June 25, 1992 and the primary for
non-Presidential candidates is September 8, 1992. Arizona does
not hold a Presidential primary. Delegates will be selected at
the State Republican Convention on May 30, 1992.
Arizona's delegate selection process is closed. In April, the
delegate selection process will begin in county and district
meetings and must be completed by May 10. At these meetings
precinct committeemen will elect delegates to the State GOP
Convention, May 30, 1992. It will be very difficult for Buchanan
to receive more than 6-10 delegates because at least 70% of the
precinct committeemen are BUSH-QUAYLE supporters who were elected
or appointed before December 31, 1991. The President should have
no problem receiving at least 70% of the 37 delegates.
The Democrats held their Presidential caucus on March 7, 1992.
Former Senator Paul Tsongas received the largest percent of the
popular vote at 34% compared to Governor Bill Clinton's 29% and
former Governor Jerry Brown's 27%. However, Clinton received 15
delegates compared to Tsongas' 14 because of the Democrat
delegate formula per district.
The elected officials and leaders of statewide Republican
organizations will play an active role in coordinating BUSH-
QUAYLE campaign activities throughout the state of Arizona.
Governor Fife Symington, Senator John McCain, and House Speaker
Jane Hull will serve as General Co-Chairmen for the BUSH-QUAYLE
campaign in Arizona, while Congressmen Jim Kolbe, Jon Kyl, Jay
Rhodes, Bob Stump, Senate Republican Leader Tom Patterson, and
Attorney General Grant Woods will serve as Honorary Co-Chairmen.

1992 POLITICAL OUTLOOK CONTINUED
Pat Buchanan has a definite presence in the state and has
cultivated an organization statewide. Buchanan's State Director,
Jim Crosby has recruited some conservative Republicans as County
Chairmen. Buchanan has campaigned in the state urging GOP
loyalists to send President Bush a signal of conservative
discontent. Secretary Kemp sent letters to GOP party leaders and
prospective delegates urging support for President Bush at the
May 30 Republican State Convention. Buchanan is not considered a
major problem because it will be difficult for him to receive any
more than 25% of the vote at the State Convention.
Libertarians held their state convention in Phoenix last week.
Approximately 200 Libertarians overwhelmingly endorsed Ross
Perot's candidacy for President. Former Congressman Sam steiger
was very supportive of Perot and said that this year Libertarians
must take advantage of his candidacy.
The most recent poll among registered Republicans conducted by
KAET-TV (Channel 8) on 4/25-26 is as follows:
President Bush
37%
Ross Perot
37%
Bill Clinton
15%
Perot's strong showing in this poll is not surprising given his
recent national attention. Although few Arizona voters do not
know that much about Perot, many see him as a viable alternative
to "two traditional candidates they don't like very much." Many
see Perot's support in Arizona declining once the campaign and
candidates become more clearly defined.
U.S. SENATE:
U.S. Senator John McCain was expected to face a tough re-election
in 1992 because of his involvement in the Savings and Loan
crisis. However, poll numbers indicate that McCain has worked
hard to rebound from the Keating Five scandal. As of February
1992, McCain has an approval rating of 65% which is an
improvement from his 43% approval rating in November of 1991.
McCain has no primary opposition at this time. His Democrat
opponents include retired Air Force General Truman Spangrud, and
businessman and attorney Walter Mybeck, and feminist Claire
Sargent.
McCain should have a good chance of holding onto this Republican
seat. However, he could have a very competitive race against
Claire Sargent who is promoting her background in
environmentalism and saying that Arizona is ready for a woman
ARIZONA POLITICAL BRIEFING
PAGE THREE
U.S. SENATE CONTINUED:
Senator. Sargent is a member of EMILY's List, an organization
that provides funding for Democrat candidates supportive of
women's issues, and has received a substantial amount of funding
from this group. McCain, on the other hand has raised a large
portion of his campaign money from out of state.
Congressmen Jay Rhodes, Bob Stump, John Kyl, Jim Kolbe, and Ed
Pastor are all seeking re-election in 1992.
REAPPORTIONMENT UPDATE
Arizona gained one Congressional seat in 1992, most likely in the
Phoenix area. The legislative redistricting plan passed in the
State Legislature and Governor Symington signed the plan.
Since the Arizona State Legislature and Governor Symington did
not agree on a redistricting plan, a three federal judge panel
became responsible for the new plan. The three federal judge
panel, (2R, 1D) appointed by Federal Judge Clifford Wallace from
the 9th Circuit, did not use either the Democrat or Republican
plans. The panel created an entirely different redistricting
plan in which Republicans did very well. The new 6th District
open seat has a slight Democrat edge, but Republicans could pick
up this seat with a strong candidate. Four of the six seats lean
Republican and Democrat Congressman Ed Pastor's seat leans
Democrat. The State Legislature redistricting plan is still
being debated by the panel.
1991 SPECIAL ELECTION UPDATE
The special election to fill the Second Congressional seat
vacated by Democrat Congressman Mo Udall was held on September
24, 1991. Democrat Ed Pastor, a former Maricopa County
Supervisor, defeated Republican Pat Conner, a former Yuma County
Supervisor by 57% to 43%.
1991 GUBERNATORIAL RUNOFF ELECTION RESULTS
Republican candidate and real estate developer Fife Symington
defeated Democrat former Phoenix Mayor Terry Goddard in a runoff
election on February 26, 1991.

1990 ELECTION RESULTS
STATE HOUSE AND SENATE:
Republicans held on to the State House by a 33 to 27 margin but
lost the State Senate, giving the Democrats a 17 to 13 majority.
The loss of the State Senate may be attributed to a large tax
package that passed in 1990.

II. Discussion
A. Fiscal
After increasing taxes by $7 billion and slashing
spending by the same amount in the last legislative
session, California is anticipating a $10.7 billion
deficit for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 1992.
The Governor and state legislative leaders are meeting
on a weekly basis in order to develop potential
solutions to the ever-increasing deficit. The general
consensus among both Democrats and Republicans is that
they will need to balance the budget by cutting
spending, not by raising taxes again.
Welfare payments are one of the major causes of the
spiraling budget deficit. Welfare reform and revamping
the Legislative budget process are Governor Wilson's
major legislative priorities this year.

Federal Civil Rights Investigation of the Rodney King
Beating
The investigation into possible federal civil rights
violations in the Rodney King case is proceeding.
A team consisting of experienced prosecutors from the
Criminal Section of the Civil Rights Division of the
Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's Office in
Los Angeles has been in place in Los Angeles since two
days after the state court verdict that acquitted four
Los Angeles Police Department Officers. The FBI is

priority. Barr has made this civil rights investigation a top
The possible federal criminal civil rights offenses
are: conspiring to interfere with a person's
constitutional rights, and depriving a person of
constitutional rights under the color of law, as by the
unlawful use of police authority. Each offense carries
penalties of up to 10 years in prison and up to
$250,000 in fines.
A federal grand jury in Los Angeles is receiving
evidence in the investigation. The case is receiving
top priority in terms of time and resources.
C.
Northern California Earthquake
On Saturday, April 25, at 11:06 a.m. Pacific Daylight
Time, a major earthquake rocked the sparsely populated
northern California coast, causing fires and shaking
houses off their foundations. Two subsequent similar-
magnitude earthquakes occurred on Sunday, April 26,
causing as much destruction as the initial magnitude
6.9 (M6.9) earthquake. The worst damage was sustained
in Ferndale, about 250 miles north of San Francisco and
nearest the epicenter, and in Petrolia, where the Post
Office and other buildings burned to the ground.
Losses from the earthquakes in the Ferndale area are
estimated to be in the $60 million range.
On May 4, you approved federal disaster assistance for
the northern California communities affected by the
earthquake and the aftershocks. Immediately after your
declaration, FEMA designated Humboldt County eligible
for federal funding to supplement the recovery needs of
residents and local jurisdictions.

Robert Alton Harris Execution
On July 5, 1978, Robert Alton Harris kidnapped and
murdered two teenage boys. Less than one year later,
he was tried and convicted of those murders and
sentenced to death. Almost fourteen years passed
between his first appeal, on November 30, 1979, and his
execution, on April 21, 1992.
In continuous legal maneuverings, Robert Alton Harris
filed ten petitions for writ of habeas corpus in the
California Supreme Court, six habeas corpus petitions
in the federal courts [including one when he was
strapped in the gas chamber] and five appeals to the
United States Supreme Court.
California Assembly Republicans plan to introduce
legislation to streamline the State's criminal appeals
process. In addition, they also plan to ask the State
bar to request tougher ethical limitations on members
of the Bar who engage in frivolous appeals and for an
Harris. ethical investigation of the lawyers who represented
E.
Unemployment
California's seasonally adjusted unemployment level for
April, 1992, stood at 8 percent, an increase of .6
percent over the same period in 1991, but a .5 percent
drop from March, 1992.
The most current preliminary unemployment figures for
Los Angeles show an unemployment rate of 9.0 percent in
March, an increase of 2.1 percent over the same period
in 1991.
The most current unemployment figures for Fresno show
an unemployment rate of 14.6 percent in January, 1992.
This is a decrease of 4.1 percent from the same period
last year.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the overall
unemployment rate for blacks in California in 1991
stood at 11.8 percent, and the overall unemployment
rate for black teens stood at 32.3 percent.
The unemployment rate for Los Angeles blacks in 1991
was 11.1 percent, and the overall unemployment rate for
black teens stood at 27.6 percent.

Chevron USA Fine
On May 18, 1992, Chevron USA agreed to plead guilty to
criminal and civil crimes and will pay $8 million in
fines under the Clean Water Act.
The violations occurred on an oil drilling platform in
the Santa Barbara Channel. The Chevron violations
constitute the third largest criminal penalty ever
assessed under any environmental statute.
G.
Federal Weed and Seed Program
On April 6, 1992, Attorney General Barr announced that
Los Angeles and San Diego, California were selected for
grants involving 16 cities under the Weed and Seed
initiative. The grants are approximately $1.1 million
each. The Weed and Seed Program is an innovative,
comprehensive, and integrated multi-agency approach for
controlling and preventing violent crime, drug abuse,
and gang activity in the United States.
You recently announced an additional Weed and Seed
grant of $19 million for Los Angeles.
During the week of May 11, 1992, representatives from
the Department of Justice (DOJ) and other Federal
agencies involved in the Weed and Seed program met with
Mayor Bradley to explain the program and to discuss how
the Weed and Seed strategy could be implemented in
South Central Los Angeles and the contiguous areas.
DOJ is working with other federal agencies to develop a
fast track strategy to implement the Weed and Seed
program in South Central Los Angeles.
H.
Endangered Species
Among many species listed or being considered for
proposed listing as threatened or endangered under the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) in California are the Bald
Eagle, the winter-run chinook salmon, the delta smelt,
and the giant garter snake. Efforts to help these
species will have a direct impact on water supplies to
agricultural and municipal and industrial users.
I.
South Coast Clean Air Plan
As a result of high pollution levels, rapid growth and
adverse topography of the Los Angeles area, the Los
Angeles smog problem is so severe (violations of the
ozone standard occur 150 days each year, compared to 20
CALIFORNIA BRIEFING
PAGE SIX
days in New york or Chicago), that attainment of Clean
Air Act standards requires extraordinary pollution
reductions -- including much cleaner fuels and vehicles
than mandated under the Clean Air Act Amendments,
severe restrictions on industrial emissions and
reformulation of many commercial and consumer products.
Since attainment in Los Angeles is not feasible without
practically emission-free motor vehicles, the State of
California is mandating progressive delivery of cleaner
vehicles and fuels, with introduction of ultra-clean
cars and trucks by the end of the century.
The Clean Air Act Amendments call for attainment of the
ozone standard by the year 2020, and the attainment of
the carbon monoxide standard by the year 2000.
J.
Water Supply
While California as a whole has received almost normal
precipitation during the 1991-92 rainy season, the
long=term drought has not been broken. However, the
rainfall allowed you to announce on March 4, 1992 an
increase in water allocations from 0 percent to 15
percent of their normal level to agricultural producers
from the Central Valley Project (CVP). Since that
time, the allocations have been further increased to 25
percent of the normal level.
K.
Central Valley Project
Governor Wilson has requested that the Federal
Government turn over the Central Valley Irrigation
Project (CVP) to the State of California. Secretary
Lujan has publicly stated that he supports this
request.
The first meeting between Governor Wilson and Secretary
Lujan regarding the transfer of the CVP from Federal to
State ownership was held in late April. Initial
results from the meeting have been positive. Working
groups were set up to solve problems that might arise
during the negotiations. Briefings regarding the
technical, financial and contractual aspects of the CVP
were provided, as well as a briefing on the state water
project's operations since 1986. The coordination of
the media was discussed, and also the possibility of
future public meetings. However, public meetings will
be held only after the details of a framework for
finishing the negotiations are completed.
CALIFORNIA BRIEFING
PAGE SEVEN
Governor Wilson has appointed a public advisory
committee to represent all parties interested in the
CVP transfer.
L. WETLANDS
Many farmers in California are confused and concerned
about the final definition of a wetland. They must
currently rely on the 1989 Federal Manual for
Identifying and Delineating Wetlands. EPA's recent
redefinition of wetlands has been subject to a comment
period which closed on January 21, 1992. Over 75,000
comments were received during that time and due to a
large volume of comments, it is anticipated that EPA's
evaluation will be delayed. This is likely to cause
additional concern among farmers.
Many problems with the 1989 Manual have been eliminated
by exempting tilled land from consideration as
wetlands; however, the overriding concerns of private
property rights and government control with regard to
wetlands continues to be a highly emotional issue.
Governor Pete Wilson has informed the Administration of
his concern that delineation standards must take the
State's unique seasonal and erratic precipitation
pattern into consideration. Governor Wilson also has
urged a policy of no net loss of wetlands for
California.
M.
North American Free Trade Agreement
In general, California agricultural producers and
processors are very supportive of the North American
Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Expected gains in trade
of rice, cotton, lumber, nuts, and deciduous fruits
will more than offset some of the increase in
competition in the citrus and winter vegetable sectors.
Some of California's citrus and winter vegetable
industries are concerned about the impact of NAFTA on
their operations because they are nervous about the
phase-out of U.S. import tariffs with Mexico. They
feel that without the current level of protection they
will face increased competition.
Even with a phased reduction in tariff rates, it is
possible that isolated instances of potentially
injurious increases in imports could occur. To address
this issue, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is
seeking to include in the NAFTA agreement a special
CALIFORNIA BRIEFING
PAGE EIGHT
safeguard provision for agriculture to enable the
United States to adjust quickly to sudden increases in
imports of sensitive products during a transition
period. This safeguard would be included in the
agreement to help the federal government respond to the
unique problems facing U.S. producers of import
sensitive crops, such as citrus and winter vegetables.
N.
Governor Wilson's Welfare Reform Proposal
Governor Wilson has turned in an estimated one million
signatures to qualify his welfare initiative, called
the "Taxpayer Protection Act, " for the November general
election ballot, undercutting efforts by both Assembly
and Senate Democrats to adopt alternative welfare
reforms of their own.
The Governor's plan projects an estimated savings of
$672 million, about half of which would be in federal
matching dollars that would no longer come to
California. Features of the plan include grant
reductions (welfare grants would initially be cut 10
percent and then another 15 percent for able-bodied
recipients who are unable to find work after six
months, offset by a small automatic food stamp
increase) ; Cal Learn education incentives; work
incentives; maximum family grants; and teenage
pregnancy disincentives.
Wilson's initiative effectively moves the debate over
welfare reform from the legislature to the electorate.
O.
California 2000
Governor Wilson is supportive of AMERICA 2000 and has
indicated his desire to bring California on board with
the strategy. However, the Governor has not yet
announced a statewide effort due to the enormous size
of California and the need to devise a proposal best
suited for the State.
Secretary Alexander and Under Secretary Kearns have
spent significant time working with Los Angeles
education and business leaders to help with their
education reform efforts. Secretary Alexander is also
working through the Los Angeles Education Alliance for
Restructuring Now (LEARN) to better understand how the
Department of Education can be of greater assistance to
the Los Angeles community.
CALIFORNIA BRIEFING
PAGE NINE
Secretary Alexander attended kick-off ceremonies for
FRESNO 2000 in mid-February. During the visit, he
toured the Balderas Elementary School and met with the
FRESNO 2000 steering committee, which is comprised of
area business, political, education, and civic leaders.
P.
Outer Continental Shelf
On May 1, 1992, the Department of the Interior's
Minerals Management Service (MMS) announced its
proposed final Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) leasing
program for the 1992-1997 leasing cycle. The program
does not include any blocks available for leasing off
the California coast and does not address when, if at
all, California blocks may be included in future
planning cycles.
This represents a change from the draft proposal of
February, 1991, which included 87 blocks in the Santa
Maria Basin- and Santa Barbara Channel. They were
identified in your OCS announcement of June, 1990 as
being potentially available for leasing after 1996,
depending on results of additional studies. Your
announcement simultaneously placed more than 99 percent
of the California OCS under leasing moratoria until
after the year 2000.
Removal of the 87 blocks was recommended by Governor
Wilson.
Q.
California Division Ballot Initiative
Frustrated by last year's state budget problems, and
the funding difficulties encountered by rural
California counties, State Assemblyman Stan Statham (R)
joined State Senator Barry Keene (D) in sponsoring a
proposal to split California into two states. Not
wanting to have special interests bankroll an
initiative, they decided to ask all county Boards of
Supervisors to place two questions on their June
ballots: "Should California be divided into two
states?" and "If California is divided, would you want
your county to be part of Northern California?" Over
one-half (31) of California counties will vote on these
questions in the June 2 primary.

1992 will be a very crucial and expensive year politically in
California. Many political experts predict that 150 million
dollars will be raised and spent by the Republican Party on its
many campaigns. In addition to the Presidential election, U.S.
Senator John Seymour's seat, U.S. Senator Alan Cranston's open
seat, and 52 Congressional seats will all be up for election in
1992. With the sheer number of State Assembly, State Senate,
Congressional and U.S. Senate seats open this year, it is certain
that the California primary and general election will be brutal.
The BUSH-QUAYLE ticket carried California by a 51% to 47% margin
in the 1988 Presidential election. The ballot filing deadline
was March 6, 1992 and the primary election is June 2, 1992.
California has a total of 201 delegates (3 from each
Congressional District and 45 at large). Governor Pete Wilson
filed the slate of delegates to the Secretary of State's office
on May 4, 1992. Pat Buchanan has also filed his slate of
delegates.
The Los Angeles riots have created an enormous amount of
political controversy, and most experts expect this to be a major
factor in the June 2nd primary. With Los Angeles Mayor Tom
Bradley and other elected officials urging angry Los Angeles
residents to vote for a police reform package on the June ballot,
many believe the riot might ultimately increase political
participation by Blacks. Clinton has attacked the President
saying that 12 years of Republican administrations have led to
neglect of minorities and cities and it is time again for an
activist federal government. Secretary Kemp has criticized
Clinton for accusing the Bush Administration of practicing
divisive racial politics that helped set the stage for the riots.

1992 POLITICAL OUTLOOK CONTINUED
Buchanan has campaigned in the Sacramento and Orange County
areas. His statewide organization consists of mostly anti-
environmentalists and Congressman Bill Dannemeyer's political
supporters. He is expected to campaign up to the June primary
and run TV commercials statewide. Since the Rodney King verdict,
Buchanan has been criticized as racist and not being sympathetic
to the needs of minorities in Los Angeles. Most California
political operatives see his presence in California as an attempt
to fractionalize the GOP by courting the conservatives who are
furious with Governor Wilson over his tax increase. However,
since Perot has become such a force in California with the
disaffected voter, Buchanan's support seems to have diminished.
Governor Pete Wilson will serve as the 1992 Bush-Quayle Chairman
for California. Chevron CEO and Team 100 member Ken Derr has
agreed to be 1992 Bush-Quayle Finance Chairman for Northern
California. John Cronin has been asked to serve as the 1992
Bush-Quayle Finance Chairman for Southern California.
Katie Boyd, Karl Samuelian, Lod Cook, Howard Leach, George
Argyros, David Murdock, Don Bren, Margaret Brock, Yong C. Kim,
and Alex Spanos all serve in leadership positions for the 1992
National Bush-Quayle Finance Committee.
The most recent Los Angeles Times statewide poll (5/16-19) is as
follows:
4/23-26
Ross Perot

This new Los Angeles Times poll indicates that Perot is the only
Presidential candidate that is viewed favorably by California
voters. Perot's strong showing underscores widespread
dissatisfaction with both the President and Clinton in this
battleground state. A majority of Californians disapprove of the
President's job performance and a plurality say Clinton lacks the
honesty and integrity to serve as President.
CALIFORNIA POLITICAL BRIEFING

1992 POLITICAL OUTLOOK CONTINUED
Perot is seen as the best candidate equipped to foment change
even though voters do not have a clear picture of his priorities.
Perot supporters describe themselves as follows: 35% are
Democrats, 54% are registered Independents, and 41% are
Republicans.
The President's approval rating has slipped to 35% compared to
50% in December. California voters expressed widespread dismay
not only with the President, but at the state's condition, with 4
out of 5 saying California is on the wrong track. These results
are directly related to California's stumbling economy, high
unemployment, decrease in defense industry jobs, and the Los
Angeles riot situation.
Perot's organization has held numerous organizational and
petition signing meetings statewide. Approximately 500,000
signatures have been secured and the state goal is 1 million.
No major Bush-Quayle names are associated with his organization.
Perot must have 134,000 signatures by August 7 to qualify for the
ballot.
California will have 54 electoral votes in 1992, which will be
crucial in the Presidential election. Bringing Asians,
Hispanics, and conservatives to our support base will be
essential, not only for the President, but for all Republican
candidates in 1992. Also, implementation of an extensive
absentee voter ballot program will be critical in the 1992
election cycle.
Democrat registration has slipped to its lowest level (48.9%) in
59 years due largely because a Democrat has not occupied the
White House or the Governor's mansion in 12 years and the
Democrats do not have one overriding message. Republican
registration is 39.27%.
Clinton held a face to face meeting with voters in Ontario and
answered questions on a wide array of topics by satellite link
with Sacramento, Hayward, and Fresno. Clinton won widespread
praise for his handling of the questions and presentation via
satellite. The Clinton campaign is expected to utilize the next
week to introduce Clinton to California voters before the primary
election.
U.S. SENATE "A" RACE:
Senator Cranston will be retiring in 1992, thus leaving an
open, six year seat. Congressman Tom Campbell (CA-12, San

U.S. SENATE "A" RACE CONTINUED:
Mateo), radio and television commentator Bruce Herchensohn,
and Mayor Sonny Bono are the only announced Republicans to
date. Campbell has the lead in fundraising. He has raised
approximately $3.9 million.
Bono has the highest name ID, but is the least admired
candidate at this time. Campbell has improved his standing
considerably due to his recent statewide media and TV buys
which has greatly increased his name ID. The Campbell-
Herchensohn standoff suggests a fierce battle between the
moderate and conservative wings of the California Republican
Party. Both Campbell and Herchensohn have TV ads hammering
the differences between both candidates. Campbell holds a
modest lead at this time, but when low voter turnout is
projected both run virtually even.
The most recent Los Angeles Times poll (5/16-19) for the
Republican candidates is as follows:
Campbell
38%
Herchensohn
33%
Bono
11%
Don't know
20%
The announced Democrats running for this seat are
Congresswoman Barbara Boxer (CA-6, San Francisco),
Lieutenant Governor Leo McCarthy, and Congressman Mel Levine
(CA-27, Santa Monica). Levine has $5 million on hand and
recently bought $3.2 million of media statewide. Levine's
recent barrage of TV commercials has proven to be very
successful given his recent increase in the polls and name
ID. Boxer could benefit greatly from her gender in an
election year where women candidates are faring well
nationwide. Levine made an appeal to the conservative wing
of the Democratic Party and has distanced himself from his
record as one of the most liberal Congressmen in a radio
debate with Boxer and McCarthy.
The most recent Los Angeles Times (5/16-19) for the
Democratic candidates is as follows:
McCarthy

1992 POLITICAL OUTLOOK CONTINUED
U.S. SENATE "B" RACE:
Senator John Seymour, Governor Wilson's appointee to serve
the remainder of his term, faces a very tough race
in 1992. Because the term expires in 1994, this seat will
again be up for election that year. Republican Congressman
Bill Dannemeyer (CA-39, Orange County) and conservative Bill
Allen have announced they will challenge Seymour in the
primary election.
The most recent Los Angeles Times poll (5/16-19) for
Republican candidates is as follows:
Seymour
39%
Dannemeyer
17%
Allen
5%
Don't know
38%
Seymour will more than likely win the primary election, but
will have a tough race in the general election largely due
to his low name identification, switches to oppose off-
shore drilling and support of pro-choice positions, and lack
of a strong message.
Former San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein, State
Controller Gray Davis, and Joe Alioto, Jr., son of former
Mayor Alioto, are the announced Democrats challenging
Seymour.
The most recent Los Angeles Times poll (5/16-19) for the
Democratic candidates is as follows:
Feinstein
62%
Davis
27%
Alioto
3%
Don't know
8%
Feinstein's lead over Davis is due largely to the high
percentage of the women's vote which she expects to receive
and her high statewide name ID. Feinstein has the best
chance at this point of winning in the primary election.
This will be the first time a state will have a dual U.S.
Senate election since 1978, when it occurred in Alabama
and Minnesota.

REAPPORTIONMENT UPDATE
California gained seven new Congressional seats in 1992.
Because Governor Wilson and the California State Legislature did
not agree on a redistricting plan, the California Supreme Court
became responsible for a fair plan. The Special Masters, a three
judge panel (2 Republicans and 1 Democrat) appointed by the State
Supreme Court announced their initial redistricting plan on
December 2, 1991.
The plan was open to public comment until December 29, 1991.
After hearing public testimony, the Supreme Court adopted the
Masters Plan in its entirety except for adding a greater
percentage of Asian voters in two Los Angeles Assembly districts.
The Supreme Court announced their final plan on January 28, 1992.
Governor Wilson praised the Special Masters Plan for its fairness
for both Republicans and Democrats.
Overall, the plan overwhelmingly favors Republicans in the State
Assembly, State Senate, and U.S. Congressional districts.
The following should be competitive races for the Republican
Party in 1992: 6 to 8 Congressional seats, 6 State Senate seats,
and 12 to 14 Assembly races.
of the 7 new Congressional seats, 5 lean Republican because most
of these seats are located in Republican growth areas.
Republicans are expected to gain control of the State Assembly
and have at least 26 of the 52 Congressional seats in 1992.
The plan creates numerous minority districts predominately in the
Los Angeles area. This plan creates severe incumbent
displacement, which will cause some Congressmen to be forced to
run against each other. However, this displacement is far
greater for Democrats than for Republicans.
1991 SPECIAL ELECTIONS RESULTS
California held special elections on May 14, 1991 and September
17, 1991.
On September 17, 1991, Republicans held onto both Assemblymen Tim
Leslie (R-Carmichael) and John Lewis' (R-Orange County) seats,
who were elected to the State Senate in the May 14 special
election. In Assembly District 5, Republican B.T. Collins
defeated Libertarian David McCann and in Assembly District 67,
Republican Micky Conroy defeated Democrat Greg Ramsey. Collins
was endorsed by Governor Wilson and the RNC contributed $70,000
to his race during the primary election at the request of
Governor Wilson.

1991 SPECIAL ELECTIONS RESULTS CONTINUED
On May 14, 1991, Republicans won three special elections. In
Senate District 35 (Orange County), Republican Assemblyman John
Lewis defeated Democrat Francis Hoffman. This seat was vacated
by the appointment of John Seymour to the U.S. Senate. In Senate
District 1 (Sacramento), Republican Assemblyman Tim Leslie
defeated Democrat Patti Mattingly. The seat was previously held
by John Doolittle (R), who was elected to the U.S. House of
Representatives. In Assembly District 26 (Stockton),
Republican Dean Andal defeated Patti Garamandi. Andal will
succeed Patrick Johnston (D) who resigned after being elected to
the State Senate.
1990 ELECTION RESULTS
GOVERNOR:
Perhaps the most important victory for Republicans
nationwide in 1990 was the election of Pete Wilson as
Governor of California. A massive GOTV effort combined with
a successful TV advertising campaign assisted Wilson in
defeating Democrat San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein.
ATTORNEY GENERAL:
An important statewide victory for Republicans was RNC
Committeeman and former Congressman Dan Lungren defeating
Democrat incumbent Attorney General Arlo Smith. Although
Lungren failed to win a majority of the votes cast on
election day, his dominance of absentee ballots secured him
the victory in this close race. Lungren's victory is
evidence of how effective the absentee ballot program was
during this election cycle in California.
U.S. CONGRESS:
Republicans had a net gain of one seat last election cycle
in the U.S. Congress. Republican Frank Riggs defeated
Democrat incumbent Congressman Doug Bosco (CA-1, Santa
Rosa), and Republican Randy Cunningham defeated Democrat
incumbent Congressman Jim Bates (CA-44, San Diego).
Republican incumbent Congressman Chip Pashayan
(CA-17, Fresno) was defeated by Democrat farmer Cal Dooly.
This was the only Republican seat lost. Currently, the
California Congressional ratio is 19 Republicans and 26
Democrats.

BALLOT INITIATIVES:
Proposition 140, which limits the terms of state legislators
and constitutional officers was accepted by California
voters in 1990. California State Legislators filed a major
lawsuit this past February 1991 to do away with this law.
The California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 140 in
October 1991.
