SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS
FOR MEETING WITH STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS
-- Welcome to the White House. I am delighted that you are
able to be here for this briefing on many of the
initiatives which are being undertaken by my Administration.
-- I am also pleased to inform you that I am today trans-
mitting to the Congress my revised Federalism Initiative,
which incorporates four major megablock grants to state
and local governments.
-- These legislative proposals represent a continuation and
expansion of the efforts of my Administration to return
authority, responsibility and revenue resources to
state and local governments.
-- You and I know that in the two decades between 1960 and
1980, we saw an ever-accelerating encroachment by the
federal government on state and local prerogatives.
Narrow and restrictive federal grant-in-aid programs
were to grow from under 50 to over 500, pervading such
obvious local concerns as rat control and sewer exten-
sions. The cost of these programs exploded from over
$7 billion in 1960 to $95 billion in 1981.
-- The federal government had too much control. Programs
lacked flexibility. Regulations were restrictive.
Federal mandates were depleting state and local treasuries.
-2-
Expenditures were being made for programs that weren't
really needed in particular communities and localities.
-- At the same time, state and local officials began
calling for a reordering of priorities and a sorting out
of responsibilties among the various levels of government.
-- We have attempted to address these concerns in this
Administration.
-- In 1981, we were successful in consolidating 57 categorical
grant programs into 9 block grants. The Administration's
regulatory relief effort has been directed in large part
to removing the regulatory manacles which bind state and
local governments.
-- This effort has continued into 1982 with enactment of the
Job Training Block Grant and the Urban Mass Transportation
Block Grant.
-- The legislative proposal which I am sending to Congress
today will contain four megablock grants. Those four
block grants are: a Federal-State block grant; a Federal-
Local block grant; a Transportation block grant; and a
Rural Housing block grant.
-3-
-- It incorporates the input which we have received from
state and local officials during the course of the last
two years:
-- It will provide a stable and certain funding
source for state and local governments, by
guaranteeing funding for the programs at the
levels enacted for FY '84. It is not a vehicle
for budgetary savings.
-- It will provide greater flexibility to state
and local officials.
-- It will provide a pass-through to local govern-
ments for programs which have historically gone
to the states, but where the states have passed
through funding to local governments.
-- It provides special protections for revenue sharing
and the entitlement portion of the Community Development
block grant program.
-- The program will be phased in to avoid dislocations
on state and local governments.
-4- -
-- That, in short, is the package. I am requesting that
Congress give this legislation its immediate attention.
-- Working together, we can make government work more
effectively for all Americans.
-- Thank you.

Members of Congress and report back with a
final recommendation based on these consul-
tations.

veterans groups.
I want particularly to commend your Executive Director,
Mil Roberts for his leadership in the veterans community. I
enjoy working with General Roberts and he has often given
my administration the benefit of his keen insight.

TALKING POINTS
I want to welcome all you members of the American Legion
Auxiliary here today on the occasion of your Awareness
Assembly. As you know, I had the opportunity to address the
American Legion on Tuesday of this week. As an old Legionnaire
it does my heart good to be with folks like you and the members
of the Legion who share the same strong feelings as I do
about our great country.
-- I want you to know that I appreciate what you are doing. We
all owe you a debt of gratitude for your continuing service
to America.
I am aware of the strong support of the Auxiliary for America's
veterans. One of the ways we Americans express our gratitude
to those who serve our country in the military is by providing
the care that they deserve. As members of the military services
they obligated themselves to serve to defend our country, and
our country has an obligation to keep its promises to them.
This we will do.
I note that the theme of your meeting is "a call to action"
and that your commitment to our country is expressed in many
ways in addition to your support for our veterans. I know
that yours is the only veterans organization which has volunteers

in every Veterans Administration medical center in the
country. I thank you for that. As you may know, voluntarism
is something which is close to my heart. Americans freely
giving to their neighbors in need is one of the qualities
which has set us apart in the world community of nations.
-- I also know of your opposition to a resolution calling for
an immediate nuclear freeze and your commitment to work against
any such resolution. Now, you are as concerned as I am about
keeping the peace, and know that such an immediate freeze on
nuclear arms at the present level would leave the United States
in a vulnerable position.
-- Unfortunately, the Soviet Union in recent years has built
up its arms at such an accelerated pace that a freeze at present
day levels would leave us far outdistanced and place us in a
weakened bargaining position with them.
-- To attempt to halt this ongoing build-up of nuclear arms,
I have initiated with the Soviets in Geneva the START
negotiations -- the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks -- to not
only stop the build-up but to actually reduce the number of
nuclear weapons.

-- America is a non-aggressive nation. It is difficult for us
Americans to realize that all nations of the world do not
share our views. We are not interested in ruling others
or acquiring more world real estate, but the truth is that
there are those nations in the world who are.
-- Perhaps no one can experience quite as deeply as a mother
the feelings of concern for the future of our country -- for
their children will be the men and women of tomorrow. The
greatest inheritance we can bestow upon them is peace and
the security of a free nation. We must do all that we can to
safeguard the future of our children and our children's
children. I am committed to that and I am grateful that you
share in this commitment.
