Hoover Building 14th Street and Constitution Avenue Washington, DC 20230 Dear Secretary Brown: I wish to express my appreciation for your attendance at the 25th Anniversary Celebration Gala Dinner for Black Enterprise Magazine. As you know, it was a signature event for both Black Enterprise and Morgan State University, two prominent African-American organizations. The fact that President Clinton and his Secretary of Commerce were key players in the event speaks volumes for the commitment of the Administration to inclusion and full participation of all people in the American enterprise. As I indicated at the dinner table, Morgan would like very much to pursue with the Department of Commerce opportunities for funding support in two areas. First, we are interested in developing an international dimension to our School of Business and Finance, with special focus on South Africa and the Caribbean. I traveled to South Africa on the eve of democratization and had an opportunity to discuss with the African National Congress (ANC) the upcoming needs for training and technical assistance to Blacks in the area of business and management. Specifically, we would like to establish an Institute for International Business that would involve some faculty going to South Africa and the Caribbean, and some students and budding entrepreneurs coming to our campus for training and/or formal studies. The Institute would also provide the opportunity for our students to train abroad in preparation for working with American companies who will be investing or reinvesting in South Africa in particular. The other area of interest is mathematics and science education. Morgan is one of the leading producers in the country of African-Americans in science. In fact, I was on a panel two weeks ago with Kathryn Sullivan of your National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) discussing how NOAA might assist in increasing the pool of Black scientists in this country. Essentially, my recommendations called for support to historically black colleges for pre-college, undergraduate and graduate education. Morgan is particularly interested in pursuing a major grant to support its efforts in these areas. Finally, I am a member of the President's Advisory Council on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and we are seeking to assist the Department of Commerce in increasing the MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY IS AN EQUAL EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY INSTITUTION Honorable Ronald Brown Page 2 September 25, 1995 HBCU share of its funding going to institutions of higher education in general. There is no question that Morgan wants to be among the HBCUs receiving the first major grants. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you or your staff on these ideas. Please advise me of your availability. Again, thank you for your participation in the Black Enterprise Anniversary Celebration Dinner. Sincerely, Earl S. Richardson President ESR/bb cc: Earl G.

To that end, it has been generally agreed upon that Felix would act as the point person in coordination with Bob Rubin. Felix has agreed to work with Bob on a framework on how we might proceed to think through strategies in order to move the growth curve from 2 1/2% to 3%. Paul Allaire and Paul O'Neill will take the lead in the business community. Paul O'Neill has already taken significant steps and has had private conversations with BRT leaders. He is asking them to give more visible leadership on a potential budget crisis. In addition, Paul O'Neill has spoken to Martin Feldstein, President and CEO of the National Bureau of Economic Research. Feldstein is interested in convening a forum under the auspices of the National Bureau of Economic Research to elevate awareness in the business community on what it would take to move the growth curve. Additionally, he has also had additional conversations regarding the other reactions. (Erskine Bowles has details.) I have indicated to Felix, Paul Allaire and Paul O'Neill (per my conversations with Rubin, Bowles and McLarty) that our White House team would be coordinated through the leadership of Rubin at Treasury, with Bob and Laura Tyson giving particular attention to the discussions on the growth strategy. Mack, Erskine and I will work closely with the busines leadership that was present at the meeting as well as others to develop bi-partisan support on the need to avoid a "train wreck." cc: Leon Panetta CC: Harold Ickes CC: Erskine Bowles THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 6, 1995 MEMORANDUM FOR LEON PANETTA FROM: Lee Satterfield, Office of Public Liaison cc: Alexis Herman Pat Griffin Jack Quinn SUBJECT: Update on Speaker's meeting with the Pope I have had several conversations, last night and today, with the Speaker's office in an effort to sort through the details of their frustration with setting up a meeting with the Pope. They have not been able to provide a name of anyone from the Vatican who confirmed this meeting that they claim is now cancelled. However, I have indicated to them that we support the Speaker's desire to have a meeting, and certainly in no way would block such a request. Archbishop Caccivillian and I spoke today and I relayed to him that if the Pope desired such a meeting, we had no objection. He stated that the message was "very clear" to the Speaker's office that the Pope's schedule was set according to protocol and that the Speaker and Senator Dole were welcome to attend the departure, but that no meeting would take place. He added that a letter from Rome was sent to the Speaker and the Senator to that effect. He also noted that there was no confusion on their part, only persistence. I have conveyed this to the Speaker's office, who seemed grateful for our efforts. Hopefully, this issue will not be raised again.

This so-called "training exercise" is being conducted without any prior consultation with the duly constituted government of the Conch Republic, and is a direct affront to our sovereign status under the adverse possession statutes of International Law. In fact, it is being conducted without prior consultation with the civil government of the City of Key West, as well. It is my duty and responsibility, acting on the authortity of the Prime Minister, to inform you that my Office has placed the Armed Forces of the Conch Republic on full alert. A War Cabinet meeting has been scheduled this evening to plan our battle strategy for repelling this "invasion". Our munitions PHONE 305/296-0213 FAX 305/296-8803 P.O.

As you are aware from our efforts during the Summit of the Americas, the Conch Republic seeks only to bring more Humor, Warmth, and Respect to a planet we find in sore need of all three. This invasion without prior consultation is an abuse of our hospitality, and is not funny, or respectful. Be assured that we will find appropriately funny ways to repel it.

Prime Minister Dennis Wardlow, who will be out of country this weekend on R&R from his last go-round with the Federalist Forces, has placed the Office of the Secretary General in charge with full faith and confidence in our ability to defend the Republic. The Hcnorable Peter Anderson, Secretary General of the Conch Republic, has placed the Armed Forces of the Conch Republic on full alert, pending resolution of this total affront to our sovereignty, and our hospitality. A War Cabinet meeting is scheduled for tonight at the Schooner Wharf at 9:15. "This is being done without any prior consultation with our government, whatsoever', said the Secretary, "It is an affront to our sovereign status under adverse possession statutes of International Law, and is tantamount to an act of aggression." "The Army's press release states , they can assist the host government meet its peoples needs and maintain a stable and viable civil administration' "We have a stable and viable civil and national government", said the Secretary, "and we need no assistance from the United States Army to maintain it!" While the Army (U.S.) states that this is a "training exercise", the Conch Republic has witnessed "training exercises" by "invading armies" throughout history which have in fact been not exercises at all. The complete lack of prior consultation with either the duly constituted authorities of the Conch Republic, or of the City of Key West is extremely troublesome.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT 11-Sep-1995 12:48pm TO: Deborah L. Fine TO: Ruby G. Moy FROM: Marilyn DiGiacobbe Office of Public Liaison - SUBJECT: Decision on Vespers Debbie or Ruby, It is critical that we get a decision today, on whether the President wants to go to Vespers (evening prayer service) with the Pope, so we can begin the negotiations. I spoke to Alexis in the hallway about a half hour ago and emphasisized this to her. In the meantime, Lee S. spoke to Billy Webster. Billy has not asked the President yet because he wants to be prepared to answer the President's possible question on, "What will the Pope be saying in his remarks at Vespers?" I can't get a definative answer on that today. Can you have Alexis call Billy Webster as soon as possible to discuss. In the meantime, I will run you over a copy of the Pope's Vespers Scenario for Alexis to see. Thank you! Issues for the Pope's Visit At the stages current height (one foot high), we are very concerned that the press will not get a clear view of the Pope and the President. Potentially, the press shot (shooting down from a three tiered press riser) is the Tarmac behind them instead of the plane which places you at an arrival ceremony or people standing (or even sitting) in front of them. Also if we raise the stage it will give the guests , especially those in the back a much better view of the President and the Pope raised above the crowd. If the Vatican has a problem with adding another step to accommodate a higher stage, we could build a gradually sloped ramp off the back of the stage. We would like to build the stage in such a way that brings the Pope and the President into the people. We can do this by extending the seats down along the sides of the stage while still preserving the buffer zone. We would like the Pope to greet the President in front of the Archbishop's residence on arrival (as opposed to inside) It offers us the only good photo-op outside of the arrival picture. The residence provides an appropriate backdrop. The current plan is to have the Pope greet the President inside and put a hugh tent over the arrival area providing no picture at all. The motorcade would actually drive into the tented area. archlrshop Cacciavillon (202) 333-7121 TT Attending Vespers w/ POTUS Official U.S. Welcoming Committee Bruce Lindsey Alexis Herman Melanne Verveer Marcia Hale Kevin O'Keefe Carolyn Curiel Andy Sens Liz Vervile Alexis 1- We need some more tickets for the Mass at Camden Yards on Sunday in Baltimore, Can you ask for them today when you see Pacciavillan ?

From: Swirsky Stephanie To: Hubbard Bibb Subject: Ryder Systems Date: Monday, October 02, 1995 5:50PM On September 7, 1995, about 5,000 Teamster represented workers went on strike on Ryder Systems, the nation's largest car hauling company. This strike followed a breakdown in negotiations (which began in January) between the Teamsters and the National Automobile Transporters Division which represents major car haul companies in the U.S. Ryder is the sole target of the strike. Ryder, the largest of the carhaul operations ships about 60 percent of General Motors new vehicles to dealers from assembly plants and ports throughout the nation. Chrysler ships its new vehicles by rail to 38 distribution centers; 15 of which subsequently use Ryder to ship to dealers. In addition, about 30 percent of Ford's new vehicles go by truck and about half of the vehicles sold in the U.S. by Honda and Toyota are shipped by Ryder. General Motors is its largest customer. Since September 14, the Teamsters have engaged in a leaflet campaign to discourage dealers from picking up vehicles directly, and have encouraged rail and longshoremen unions not to handle vehicles at rail yards and ports. On September 21, the National Labor Relations Board rejected a move by Ryder to end the strike--Ryder had filed unfair labor practice charges with the Board which were rejected in a ruling that the Teamsters were acting within their rights because their primary objective is to preserve their work. Ryder has said it will appeal the ruling and is continuing with a separate civil suit filed in U.S. District Court in Alexandria VA for lost revenues of up to $1 million a day. Offers of mediation from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service have been taken by either party to the dispute. While no talks are scheduled, there are unconfirmed, confidential reports that an unofficial private meeting between company and union representatives was held today in Miami, where the company headquarters are located. I have news clips since the beginning of the strike, let me know if you need copies or additional information.

You should note that Marilyn will be reaching out to these and other groups at a staff level as early as this afternoon. She has also re-scheduled a White House briefing with key providers for the week of 9.25. Attached is the memo Chris Jennings and I provided to John Angell. Outreach to Senior Groups I am also doing a temperature/activity check today with all of the key senior groups on their perspectives and hill activities. For example: - AARP has 40 out-of-state activities on the hill this week meeting with members of Ways & Means, Commerce and Senate Finance. - Additionally we're trying to amplify through the groups ( urging press statements) the just-released Medicaid state-by-state analysis of the House Republican plan. attachment THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 19, 1995 MEMORANDUM FOR JOHN ANGELL FROM: Chris Jennings RE: Panetta Calls As we discussed, the most important calls should be made immediately to: 1) Representatives of academic health centers: - Dick Knapp 828-0410 Jordan Cohen, M.D. (President of the Ass. of American Medical Colleges -- can be reached through Knapp) Additional useful calls include: - Herb Pardes, Columbia University (212) 305-3592 - Ralph Muller, University of Chicago (312) 702-6240 Talking points are attached. 2) Calls to hospital representatives that are important are*: - Dick Davidson, American Hospital Association (202) 638-1100 - Tom Scully, Federation of American Health Systems (202) 833- 3090 * These people were represented at a meeting with Leon last Thursday. The key message for them is that "We delivered on the request for a veto message. Where is your critique of the Republican plan or at least the overly rapid process? You better not join up with the Republicans this Thursday." TALKING POINTS-ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTERS --It is very important you not put yourself in the posit on of appearing to support the Republican Medicare plan. Your appearing to say that the plan will protect quality would be devastating for the Democratic effort to defeat it or cut it back. --The promises they have made to you are fool's gold. You need to look at the total impact of their program, not just on IME and DME but on the market-basket, disproportionate share payments, bad debt payments, whether they are doing anything meaningful on AAPCC, Medicaid cuts, and what their "look-back" will entail in additional cuts. -The money they are proposing to finance their program with is funny money. I doubt cuts in "corporate welfare" are going to last beyond the markup. I'm sure that they will not last beyond conference--and they are certainly not proposing dedicated funds, in any event. --You have to look at the end game. The end game is going to be a negotiated deal between the Republicans and the President. Once they've gotten their press conference, they have absolutely no interest in protecting you. --We will be helpful to you in cutting the final deal, because we know how you important you are to quality care. In particular, we want to work on moderating any IME/DME cuts to reasonable levels and to making sure that the AAPCC issue is addressed. But we will also have lots of of other priorities, and if you have undercut the President's position, it will be very hard to persuade him that he should spend any chips protecting you. MEMORANDUM FOR MIKE MCCURRY AND ALEXIS HERMAN FR: Joshua Silverman RE: Interim Agreement Signing Jewish Press Outreach The Office of Media Affairs conducted an extensive Jewish press outreach to amplify the Interim Agreement Signing Ceremony. Specific details are listed below: PRE-SIGNING (Wednesday) OCT 2 1905 All of the DC based Jewish correspondents were invited to Dennis Ross's pre-signing White House briefing. Conducted a conference call with major Jewish Publications from across the country with Ambassador Indyk. The participants included: Philadelphia Jewish Exponent Metrowest Jewish News (NJ) Jewish Journal of Los Angeles Cleveland Jewish News Jewish Telegraphic Agency (over 100 regional Jewish Publications) The pre-signing outreach proved very effective because many of these publications were going to print before the signing. The briefing and the conference call resulted in two weeks of extensive coverage instead of just one week "looking back" at the Signing. SIGNING CEREMONY (Thursday) Formed a specialty press pool to join the limited number of White House reporters covering the East Room signing. The pool included: Jewish Telegraphic Agency (over 100 Jewish papers) James Besser (veteran columnist and contributor to 10 largest Jewish papers) Douglas Bloomfield (influential Jewish columnist) The Forward (only "national" Jewish paper) Washington Jewish Week (influential inside the beltway) Joe Polokoff (syndicated columnist) Moment Magazine (one of the largest Jewish monthly magazines) Chicago Jewish News Bob Cumins (freelance photographer for over 100 Jewish papers) Formed similar pool for the Corcoran Reception. The pool included all of the above plus: Miami Herald (Jewish columnist) Philadelphia Inquirer (Jewish columnist) Baltimore Jewish Times Expanding the pool coverage for the Signing Ceremony not only allowed the participant news organizations extensive coverage, but also gave an "equal footing" status that positively affected coverage. POST-SIGNING (Friday) Mailed all transcripts and a picture of the Signing Ceremony to over 200 Jewish Publications across the country. Also mailed transcripts and picture to other selected religious publications. cc: Evelyn Lieberman Jay Footlik MAY-PP 95 14:33 FROM:0 0 TN: 202 456 6218 PAGE : 01 FAX COVER SHEET TO: Alexis Herman FROM: Terry McAwitfe DATE: May 27 2 # OF PAGES (including this sheet): Comments: THIS MESSAGE IS INTENDED ONLY FOR THE USE OF THE INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY TO WHICH IT IS ADDRESSED.

Liss pml Chief of Staff Civil Rights Division Isabelle Katz Pinzler SKT Deputy Assistant Attorney General RE: Post-Adarand Issues: Revisions to FAR Rules In his absence, Deval asked me to bring to your attention the following matter. Section 7102 of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 (PASA or the Act) authorizes certain federal agencies to set aside contracts for small business concerns owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals; where set-asides are not used, FASA authorizes agencies to offer a 10% price evaluation preference to such concerns. Under Section 7102, members of racial and ethnic minority groups are presumed to be socially disadvantaged. Thus, Section 7102 authorizes agencies to use racial and ethnic criteria as a basis for decisionmaking in the allocation of contracts. Section 7102 of FASA applies to all federal agencies except the Defense Department, the Coast Guard, and NASA -- all of which already have that same authority under what is known as the "1207 program. # The DOD has created the Rule of Two as a vehicle to implement the 1207 program. Section 7102 of FASA provides authority to extend the existing 1207 program government-wide. However, the authority granted by Section 7102 did not go into effect on the date of enactment of FASA. Rather, Section 7102 is to be implemented in a uniform fashion through revisions 09/06/95 08:29 48490 003 to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). A proposed rule containing revisions to the FAR were published in the Federal Register on January 6, 1995 by the FAR Council (which is coordinated by OMB and GSA). As I understand it, those proposed regulations would have extended the 1207 program government-wide. The final rule must be published by September 7, 1995. However, the proposal to extend the 1207 program government-wide will not be a part of the final rule. As you know, in the months since the proposed rule was published, the Supreme Court handed down its opinion in Adarand Constructors, Inc. V. Peña, which held that federal affirmative action programs that use racial and ethnic criteria as a basis for decisionmaking are subject to strict judicial scrutiny. Furthermore, President Clinton has directed executive branch agencies to review such programs to determine whether they comport with the Adarand standard. As a result of the President's directive, the 1207 program, among others, is under review. In light of Adarand and the President's directive that agencies review existing affirmative action programs, the FAR Council has decided to eliminate from the final rule the provision that would implement Section 7102 of FASA. We understand that the FAR Council has the discretion to make that decision, because FASA does not mandate that agencies use the authority granted to them under Section 7102. our Office of Legal Counsel has reviewed the draft regulations and has informed us that the final regulations to be published later this week will state that the provision implementing Section 7102 "remains under consideration" [or "remains under review. "] We: are calling this to your attention because it is possible that some minority contracting and civil rights groups may be concerned that the final rule will not extend the 1207 program government-wide. We understand (from conversations between our OLC folks and William Coleman of OMB) that minority business groups and key members of Congress were made aware of this fact at the end of July during Congressman Mfume's minority business forum. Nonetheless, we thought it prudent to bring this matter to your attention. cc: John Schmidt Deval Patrick Nancy McFadden 09/06/95 08:28 48490 001 U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division Office of the Assistant Attorney General Washington, D.C. 20530 TELEFACSIMILE COVER SHEET DATE: 9/5/95 TIME: 1:45pm TO: DEBBIE FINE PHONE: FAX: 456-2983 FROM: SUSAN LISS OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION FAX NUMBER: 202-514-0293 PHONE: 202-514-4016 COMMENTS: NUMBER OF PAGES TRANSMITTED (INCLUDING THIS SHEET) 3 (max. 30 pages) THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS TRANSMISSION IS PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES AND IS ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL.
