THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 8, 1982 MEETING WITH SENATE MAJORITY LEADER HOWARD BAKER (R-TENNESSEE) AND REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN, SENATE REPUBLICAN POLICY LUNCHEON GROUP, AND SENATE DEMOCRATIC LEADER ROBERT C. BYRD (D-WEST VIRGINIA) DATE: Tuesday, March 9, 1982 LOCATION: The Capitol TIME: 12:15 - 1:45 p.m. FROM: Kenneth M. Duberstein KenD. I. PURPOSE To meet with Senate Republican Committee Chairmen and subsequently with all Republican Senators to discuss the Administration's legis- lative agenda, specifically the economic recovery program. A separate courtesy meeting with Senate Democratic Leader Robert C. Byrd is also scheduled. II. BACKGROUND On the whole, the Administration's FY 83 budget proposals have not been favorably received among Republican members of the Senate. While loathe to oppose the President personally, many Senators have expressed reservations about elements of the budget package such as defense spending, tax provisions, entitlement reform, and credibility of our deficit projections. Senator Baker and other Republican leaders are working on an alternative package which they hope to complete shortly and present directly to the President. These meetings provide an opportunity for the President to smooth the edges of the debate on the economy and encourage a cooperative atmosphere for the hard work which must be done in the weeks ahead. Republican Chairmen's Meeting Each Tuesday, at 11:45 a.m., Senator Majority Leader Baker hosts a 45-minute meeting of all Republican Committee Chairmen. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss current and upcoming issues before the various Committees and to anticipate strategy for Senate Floor debate on these issues. The President will attend the last 15 minutes of this meeting. 2 Republican Policy Committee Luncheon Following the Chairmen's meeting, a luncheon is held each Tuesday under the auspices of the Senate Republican Policy Committee, which is chaired by Senator John Tower (R-Texas). All Republican Senators attend this luncheon. Discussion usually centers on pending or upcoming legislative issues, prompted by reports from Committee Chairmen or the leadership. Political strategy and housekeeping items are also discussed, and due to the partisan nature of these meetings, members are inclined to speak freely with regard to Republican policies. NOTE: The President attended a Republican Policy Luncheon on July 14, 1981. At the beginning of the luncheon, Majority Leader Howard Baker and Republican Policy Committee Chairman John Tower will make brief introductory remarks. The President should then make brief comments (5 minutes) on the economic recovery program. The meeting will then be opened for a question and answer session. The press will be present at the beginning of the luncheon through the President's prepared comments, but they will leave prior to the question and answer period. At the conclusion of the question and answer session, lunch will be served. Meeting with Senate Democratic Leader Robert C. Byrd (D-West Virginia) Following the Republican Policy Luncheon, the President will pay a brief courtesy visit to Senate Democratic Leader Robert C. Byrd. Byrd served as the Majority Leader of the Senate from 1977 to 1981, and as part of the Democratic leadership in lesser roles since 1967. He has had to undergo a difficult adjustment from being Majority Leader of the Senate to being the Minority Leader. Byrd is up for re-election in West Virginia in 1982, and faces stiff opposition from freshman Congressman Cleveland Benedict (R-W.Va.). As a result, Byrd is having to mount a much stronger campaign than ever before, and these campaign requirements are absorbing a substantial part of his attention. Byrd has been critical of the Administration's budget request, and suggested in a letter to the President that the President should withdraw his budget proposal and resubmit a new one. That suggestion was rejected by the Administration. On the matter of El Salvador, Byrd has expressed concern about the possibility that the Administration may send combat troops to that country. He has just introduced an amendment to the War Powers Act which would require prior Congressional approval before the President could send U.S. combat troops to El Salvador. (Existing law allows the President to commit the troops first, then seek Congressional approval within 60 days). The Administration has responded that Byrd's amendment is "unnecessary." 3 At the conclusion of the courtesy meeting with Senator Byrd (1:45 p.m.), the President will return to the White House, and the Senate will reconvene to resume debate on the trial of Senator Harrison Williams (D-New Jersey). III. PARTICIPANTS List attached IV. PRESS PLAN There will be a brief (5-minute) photo opportunity as the Pres- ident arrives at Senator Howard Baker's office. The press will also cover the first part of the Republican Policy Luncheon, through the President's prepared statement. The press will leave the luncheon after the President has concluded his statement, and before the question and answer session begins. There will be no further media involvement with the President, but it is anticipated that various Senators will agree to brief the press following the Republican Policy Luncheon. V.

(Bakshian) March 8, 1982 4:20 p.m. PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: GOP POLICY COMMITTEE LUNCHEON March 9, 1982 It's a pleasure for me to be here this afternoon -- as a sincere admirer of the fine work of the GOP Policy Committee, and as a longtime friend of so many of its members. I especially want to express my admiration for Howard Baker who has shone so brightly as the first Senate Republican Majority Leader in 26 years. One of the greatest satisfactions of election night 1980 was knowing that, after a generation, we had finally transformed the distant dream of a Republican majority in the Senate into a bright reality. All of us here in this room worked long and hard to achieve that goal. In the months aheads I can promise you that I will continue to do everything I can to preserve this great historic achievement. I also want to salute your chairman, John Tower. John is not only one of the brightest, most dedicated members of the Senate, but also a statesman whose judgement I deeply respect on a broad range of policy matters, particularly national defense. Now, out of deference to some of you, I will not tell you any anecdotes this afternoon. But I do want to share with you two quotes I cam across recently in my non-official reading. Both of them come from the same source -- a man who was a celebrated public speaker, a journalist, a soldier, an historian and a statesman. His name was Winston Churchill. Some people Page 2 went so far as to say that he could even have been a great character actor if he'd wanted to. Churchill once said that people who are not prepared to "do unpopular things" and "defy clamor" are not fit to govern "in times of stress." He also said, and I quote, that, "The idea that a nation can tax itself into prosperity is one of the crudest delusions which has ever befuddled the human mind." That was Churchill, not me, but I believe Sir Winston had a point. Think back to the opening days of this Administration and this Congress. Many observers predicted that we could not work together, that the economic and social problems that had piled up over 50 years were insurmountable. They said that, whatever the Administration and the Republican Party might espouse, business would go on as usual on the Hill -- more taxes, more accelerated Government spending, more inflation and all of the other social, political and economic ills we campaigned against so hard. Well, we proved that the critics were wrong. And we did it by working together, building a bi-partisan coalition and daring to chart a new course. I've been doing a little travelling in recent weeks -- to the great American Midwest and to the Southwest -- and I'll be on the road again soon. What I've seen and heard in the heartland convinces me that the American people want our program to work, and want it to be given the chance to work. Page 3 I, have no intention of letting them down. And I deeply believe that if we did turn back, the party would pay the price in November. For once, good politics and good economics are at one. Yes, we are still suffering the results of a recession brought on by years of government excess. People are feeling the effects of it out there and officeholders facing the prospect of elections in November are understandably concerned. The course we must follow is as clear as it is essential. There will always be room for improvement in any budget or any economic policy -- but we must have a budget. Where further savings can be found, or a better way of meeting agreed-upon goals can be worked out, I pledge my full cooperation to you, and I want to hear from you. However, our first and foremost obligation is to the American people. Our country is coming out of a long night of Government mismanagement and blundering. There is no instant hangover cure for the binge that big-spenders and quick-fixers -- almost all of them from the other party -- forced America into for. so many years. But if we have the courage to work together with vision and determination, we can affect a real and lasting remedy. The discomfort of today is the result not of the first few weeks of our recovery program, but of the long years of bad Government that preceded it and got us into this mess. Page 4 Those who try to turn back the clock to the failed policies of the past will not only doom themselves to failure, they will risk making matters worse for all Americans who seek shelter from inflation, from high taxes and interest rates, and the human costs -- in terms of lost jobs and lost opportunities -- of further economic stagnation. It isn't going to be easy. These are not easy times. But, together, we can hold down taxes, hold down spending and insure a strengthened national defense to protect the peace. I will be glad to consider any comprehensive Congressional alternative plan that meets this crucial standard and I promise you: Where we have honest differences, you can count on me to be a willing listener and a sincere partner. But we must stand firm on these three basic national commitments. Together, we must get on with the job of bringing the budget under control. We are already winning the battle against inflation. We can and will bring interest rates down without loading new burdens onto the back of the American taxpayer. And we must continue to return resources and responsibilities to the people that will mean more savings, more freedom, more economic opportunity and more jobs for all Americans. That's my policy and I think it's a good one, for our party and for the American people as well. Let us strive together to make it work. 51 ATTACHMENT 5 SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS FOR MEETING WITH SENATOR ROBERT C. BYRD -- Greet the Senate Democratic Leader.
