Senator Seymour and Senator Hatch [and others], who've been so helpful with this legislation, welcome -- and 2230 thank you for your efforts. And it is a very special privilege to have with us some young Americans -- from neighborhoods right here in our nation's capital. They're the reason why we've produced today's legislation -- they're the reason why we're fighting for far-reaching reforms to offer them opportunities for a better future. The supplemental appropriations bill I'm signing today provides emergency funding for disaster programs of the Federal Chipping Chuck Emergency Management Agency and the Small Business money for all America Administration. This bill replenishes the resources of both part gone else agencies following expenditures they made to help victims of the 4790 lawless violence in Los Angeles and the flood in Chicago. These funds will be used to help shelter uninsured persons following major disasters, and to offer low-interest loans to individuals and businesses in disaster areas. The bill also will help finance more than 400,000 summer jobs through a program of the Department of Labor -- with a special focus on helping young people in America's largest urban areas. These supplemental funds are a beginning -- only a beginning. aaunt 3THW 3PT Lynn Mantin Hatch UT Jeymer CA Sea Ted Stevens R'AK Congressman Joe McDade R-PA the Ranking Republican M Hans Appropriations Committee Chuck THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON Kieffer turned aside efforts by some in the Congress to spend more for the sake of spending more, when the urgent need is for 4790 fundamental change to provide hope and opportunity for people in our inner cities. It's imperative that we make these major changes -- that we put in place my New America Plan. The first mission of government is to ensure the personal safety of our people. Our neighborhoods, our streets must be free from crime. And to strike a blow for our people's right to life free from fear, I'm asking Congress to act now on my Weed and Seed anti- crime program. People in our cities need more freedom and opportunity to achieve, to excel. That's the focus of my plan for Enterprise Zones, for tenant ownership, for job training, and for excellence in our schools. Enterprise zones offer incentives for innovation and job creation in the greatest American tradition. It's high time we put this great idea into action. Our HOPE initiative will help turn public housing tenants into homeowners -- and there's no overestimating the dignity that brings. Our America 2000 education reforms will help extend to parents and kids in the inner cities the same choices that people in the suburbs already have. 11 Finally, the long-term well-being of neighborhoods that are now dangerous and depressed demands that we break with the culture of dependency. My agenda for welfare aims to reward work and learning, to insist that fathers take responsibility for their children, to make families whole. These are the keys to providing hope for our new generation. 3 These are the only reliable means for making our cities the safe and prosperous places they ought to be. So again, I'm urging the Congress to put an end to delays and take action on my New America Plan. Thank you all, and God bless the United States of America. # # # Supplemental Appropriations Beaky FEMA Staps Business Sign X6220 Darmar 3060 Chuck Kieffer Leg Affairs 2:00 Rose Garder 4790 Members Darman of Congress Invited Cabinet Benefit front from Malley jobs Clayton Jummer Youth Jobs ] Loan of Loan Rose Garden you don Subsidy value of loan historst Supplemental Urban Appropriations regte not elighte assignce for FEMA Pres Announced Small Business Summer OMB eligible 1.1 billia Press supported Signing Statements Flael Depline Hillion assepurents study asan ).1 disastyres 1 2g acted Housey a Senate passid every of 1.45ams. to business would will finance will Never Contreport filed 300million & FEMA LA Chicago which 46350 million floor of $ 143,8 500 million DOL Youths 414,000 June 22, 1992 MEMORANDUM TO RESEARCHERS FROM: CARLOS ZEISEL (INTERN) SUBJECT: POTUS SIGHTINGS I am listing the times and stations that POTUS will be talking. -Inside Politics 92, CNN, 4:30pm 06/22/92 09:24 OMB LEG. AFFAIRS 001 Draft STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT Today I have signed into law H.R. 5132, an Act that provides supplemental appropriations for disaster assistance to meet urgent needs resulting from calamities such as those that occurred in Los Angeles and Chicago. This Act provides emergency funding for disaster programs of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) FEMA funds will be used to provide uninsured individuals and families with temporary housing assistance and to provide grants for the repair and replacement of property damaged as a result of major disasters. The SBA funds will be used to provide low-interest loans to individuals and businesses located in areas affected by recent disasters. This funding will ensure that FEMA and SBA have sufficient resources to address the major disasters that have occurred this year, including the civil disturbance in Los Angeles and the flood in Chicago. I am pleased that the Congress provided these funds under terms and conditions which are acceptable to the Administration. 06/22/92 09:25 OMB LEG. AFFAIRS 002 Funds provided by H.R. 5132 for the Department of Labor's summer youth jobs program represent a satisfactory compromise between the Congress and the Administration and will finance 414,000 summer jobs. I am particularly pleased that provisions of the Act give special weight to ensuring that this funding is targeted to the areas of greatest need, particularly the country's largest urban areas. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, I am designating the following funding as emergency requirements: o $300 million for FEMA disaster assistance; $500 million for the summer youth jobs program; and o $143,755,000 for SBA disaster loans. The Act also provides non-emergency supplemental funding for SBA's business loan program, the cost of which is fully offset. These funds will provide up to $1.45 billion in loan guarantees for certain small businesses. This additional funding will ensure that sufficient resources remain available for this program throughout the remainder of fiscal year 1992. Conversation with Chuck Kieffer in Leg Affairs -- The bill appropriates $300 million for FEMA and $350 million of SBA disaster asssistance loans and $500 million for Department of Labor sponsored summer jobs programs (which will fund $414,000 summer jobs. The bill also appropriates $1.45 billion for the SBA's General Business Loan program -- this is not tied to LA. This is an ongoing program that the Administration has supported. This money goes to support small businesses all around the country. The bill also urges the Senate to support Enterprise Zones. The Pres could make the point that he's glad the Congress saw fit to change to a fiscally responsible bill (one that totals 1.1 billion) from the original one the Senate opted for (of 2 billion). The history of this bill: The House passed a $600 million bill for FEMA and SBA loans. George Mitchell made it political and offered added approx. $1 billion for Head Start and other programs. Every dollar in the bill was designated as emergency money, which would not be covered by the spending caps, and thus would have increased the deficit. Unfortunately, Mitchell found he had no support for this, so they compromised on the bill the Pres will sign. Chuck not sure you'll want to mention this, but: no one convicted of rioting will be eligible for assistance. This money replenishes the disaster assistance accounts for FEMA and SBA that was lost due to LA and Chicago. We should not use language that suggests or states that the President requested money.
