PURPOSE To reinforce to Governor DuPont the interest the White House has in his possible candidacy as United States Senator from Delaware. II. BACKGROUND With 19 incumbent Republican Senators facing re-election in 1984, maintaining the Senate majority could be in serious jeopardy. The single best opportunity we face in the Senate elections of 1984 lies in the hands of Governor Pete DuPont, who has yet to decide whether he will challenge incumbent Democrat Senator Joe Biden, first elected to the Senate in 1972. The immensely popular Governor DuPont, who by law cannot serve another term as Governor, is of crucial importance and is widely viewed as the only hope we have against Senator Biden -- who is viewed by many as one of the future leaders of the Democratic Party.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON MEETING WITH SELECTED MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND LEGISLATION Date: Thursday, July 14, 1983 Location: The Cabinet Room Time: 11:00 a.m. (30 minutes) From: Kenneth M. Duberstein For D. I. PURPOSE To firm up Congressional support for the IMF legislation. II. BACKGROUND The bill to authorize an increase of American participation in the International Monetary Fund by $8.4 billion (H.R. 2930) tentatively is scheduled to be considered on the House Floor the week of July 18, 1983. Following the President's meeting with House Banking Committee Chairman Fernand St Germain (D-Rhode Island) and Committee Ranking Republican Member Chalmers Wylie (R-Ohio) on June 14, 1983, efforts were intensified to clarify the vote situation in the House. It is now felt that direct Presidential involvement prior to House Floor action, focused on House Republicans, will be necessary if we are to have a reasonable expectation of success on this issue. The group in attendance at this meeting consists of freshman and sophomore House Republicans. They are predominantly young and conservative Members who have been strong supporters of the President. Most are reported to be undecided on the IMF issue, but a few already are firmly committed to the quota increase. With this group, it is felt that the President should stress the larger implications of the IMF quota in- crease in terms of the Williamsburg Summit and the President's overall responsibility to discharge American foreign policy. Also, because these Members have become so deficit oriented, they must be convinced that this is not a foreign aid "giveaway" or simply a bailout for large banks. III. PARTICIPANTS See attached list.

Oglesby, Jr. Nancy Risque John Dressendorfer Randall Davis David Wright John Scruggs Chris Lehman Robert McFarlane Dennis Thomas, Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs, Department of Treasury Attachment B SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS -- I want to emphasize the importance I attach to prompt passage of legislation providing for the U.S. share -- $8.5 billion -- of an internationally agreed increase in the resources of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). -- The Senate has passed both an authorization and appropriations for IMF. It is essential that this legislation be enacted now to ensure against further instability in international financial markets which could erode our own recovery. -- Leaders of other industrialized nations and I agreed at Williamsburg on a comprehensive strategy for dealing with international economic and debt problems. The IMF quota increase is pivotal to that strategy. It can't work effec- tively without these additional resources, which must be in place before the end of the year. -- We all have an important stake in the maintenance of a stable world economy. A sound international financial system is essential to U.S. economic recovery and is vital to U.S. foreign policy and security interests. -- I need your support of this IMF legislation. I'm counting on House Republicans to make sure this bill passes. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON July 13, 1983 Cabinet Meeting DATE: July 14, 1983 LOCATION: Cabinet Room TIME: 1:00 P.M. (60 min.) FROM: Craig L. Fuller CF I. PURPOSE To discuss four items of importance: the 1984 Combined Federal Campaign; the Economic Outlook; the Minority Business Development Executive Order; and Proposed ""National Productivity and Innovation Act of 1983. " II. BACKGROUND CFC: Verne Orr, Secretary of the Air Force, and Chairman of this upcoming Combined Federal Campaign, will discuss the Administration effort and encourage maximum participation on the part of each Cabinet Secretary and Agency Head. Economic Outlook: Martin Feldstein, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, will brief the Cabinet on the current economic indicators and the trends as CEA sees them. Minority Business Development: An Executive Order has been prepared for your signature which encourages greater involvement in federal government contract work for minority businesses. Wendell Gunn, Special Assistant to the President for Policy Development, will brief the Cabinet on our goals in this project. Proposed Innovation Act: This proposal, if adopted, will remove perceived disincentives to joint research and development ventures. In addition, the Act will encourage innovation by reducing barriers to the licensing of intellectual property and by providing greater protection for patents and copyrights.

PARTICIPANTS Members of the Cabinet James Sanders, Administrator of SBA Verne Orr, Secretary of the Air Force Wendell Gunn, Special Assistant for Policy Development William Baxter, Assistant Attorney General for Anti-Trust Members of the White House Staff (list attached to agenda) IV. PRESS PLAN None V. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS Ed Meese will make opening remarks. Verne Orr will discuss the Combined Federal Campaign. Martin Feldstein will brief on the economic outlook. Wendell Gunn will address the Minority Business program. The Attorney General will introduce the anti- trust discussion and ask Bill Baxter to brief the Cabinet on the issue. TALKING POINTS ON ANTITRUST REFORM PACKAGE, "NATIONAL INNOVATION AND PRODUCTIVITY ACT OF 1983" The Department of Justice and the Department of Commerce are to be congratulated for putting together the National Innovation and Productivity Act of 1983. It will be a major vehicle to enhance international trade opportunities for U.S. firms. The part of the legislation which we have talked about today, dealing with a new proposal for joint research and development ventures, is particularly significant. It demonstrates once again how the interagency process can produce superior proposals to support American business. It will enable U.S. companies to conduct joint R&D on a scale comparable to our major trading partners. As a result of this proposal, U.S. firms will be able to work together to solve large-scale technical problems, reduce duplication, promote the efficient use of scarce technical personnel, and help to achieve desirable economies of scale. siff This may be the from Cob. Mty. 7/14 TALKING POINTS ON MINORITY BUSINESS My signing of this Executive Order today is, among other things a symbol of the commitment of this Administration to do everything it can to keep alive the American dream for all of our citizens. While our program for Minority Business Development is important, it is by no means the most important of our efforts to promote this dream. The real task is to make some real fruit grow on the trees planted by Black Americans themselves in their struggles during the 1960's for full participation in the American economy. But beginning in the late 60's, on the very heels of the breakdown of legal racial barriers, the economy entered a period of contraction and, for reasons including continuous tax increases, has been contracting in real terms ever since. In other words, Black Americans saw the economic train moving, fought for and won the right to purchase a ticket, and as they came aboard the train stopped, then started to move backwards. Equal employment opportunity means nothing in a shrinking economy. The actions taken and proposals made by this Administration are designed to get the train moving again, and the signs are clear now that our program is working. In addition, because of the progress of the 1960's and this Administration's firm commitment to protect the human rights and economic freedom of all Americans, the passenger list will be a lot different this time. The coming recovery, the direct result of our economic initiatives, particularly the Economic Recovery Tax Act, provides the real hope for Black Americans to enter the American economic mainsteam in signfiicant numbers. The remaining task before us is to find effective ways to communicate this fact.
