SUBJECT:
Housing
A
Being
Following your meeting with several housing organizations in August, they sent the attached
letter. The groups essentially request the following:
1. They would like to follow up on 'your offer' to coordinate meetings with Leon Panetta and
Alice Rivlin on budget issues.
2
Do you want to do this?
YES
NO
2. Based on a conversation with Andy Hernandez about the work done with Hispanic leaders,
they would like us to organize conference calls to local housing leaders on current issues.
Do you want the DNC to take the lead on this, and offer to plug in administration officials?
YES
NO
I would note here that our office has not been involved in housing issues at all. (I think
technically I am listed as the contact for response, however, for many reasons I have never
worked with the community.)
As time goes on, activities like the conference calls take staff time and knowledge of the
community. From a resource perspective, how do you want to respond to this? (Currently,
you are their only contact in OPL and Molly Bostrom is their contact in the DPC.)
Let me know. Thanks.

Dear Ms. Herman:
On behalf of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the
National Housing Law Project, the National Low Income Housing
Coalition and ACORN, let me thank you again for meeting with
our delegation on Thursday. Our organizations felt the
meeting was very productive and a good start for the work
ahead. We especially appreciate your offer to coordinate
meetings with the White House Chief of Staff, Director Rivlin
and ourselves concerning the impending HUD budget crisis.
As you requested, I am attaching a summary of the top three
issues that we believe must be corrected in the FY 1996 HUD
budget. These three Republican proposals severe cuts to
homeless programs, rent increases in public housing, and the
elimination of all new rental vouchers offer the White
House a compelling example of how Congress intends to slash
assistance to lower income Americans to pay for tax breaks
for the wealthy.
After our meeting last week, we also met with Andy Hernandez
of the DNC. Mr. Hernandez mentioned that the White House
regularly convenes conference calls with Hispanic leaders in
order to keep them informed about current issues and
politics. We feel that two or three conference calls placed
by the White House to leaders in the grassroots housing
community would significantly help shore up support for 1996.
If possible, we would like to work with your office and the
DNC to organize these conference calls to housing leaders.

SUBJECT: Top Three Issues for FY 96 HUD Budget
1.
Rent Increases in Public Housing
Contact: Nancy Bernstine (202-783-5140)
David Bryson (510-251-9400)
National Housing Law Project
Background on public housing rents
Since 1969, federal law -- known as the Brooke Amendment, for
its sponsor, Senator Brooke (R-MA) -- has made public and
other subsidized housing affordable to poor people by
limiting rents to a percentage of their incomes. The
percentages have changed over time, as have the details on
calculating income and deductions, but the bedrock principle
has remained the same -- rents are tied to income so that
tenants will only be charged amounts they are able to pay and
no one will be evicted because they are too poor. Now, with
the drastic funding cuts for federal housing assistance
programs, members of Congress propose to abandon that bedrock
principle, repeal the Brooke Amendment, raise the tenants'
rents to make up for the federal funds they are taking away,
and allow the public housing authorities to charge tenants
whatever they wish. The repeal of the Brooke Amendment will
lead inexorably to evictions for those currently housed and
denial of housing assistance for the poorest applicants on
the waiting lists.
Message on rent hikes
No one can defend raising rents on the poorest Americans
to provide tax relief for the wealthy or to reduce the
federal deficit.
Affordable public housing is the only safety net that
stands between low income people and homelessness.
Repealing the Brooke Amendment will make millions of
poor Americans too poor for public housing.
Affordable rents for decent housing make it possible
for low income people to move from lives of dependency
to social and economic self-sufficiency.

Severe Cuts to Homeless Programs
Contact: Nan Roman (202-638-1526)
National Alliance to End Homelessness
How voters see homelessness
Homelessness is a problem that the American people want
solved. Whether from compassion for their fellow man,
because they think people begging and sleeping on the streets
is bad for business, or because they are just plain offended
at having to step over homeless people every day, voters want
something done about it. To many ordinary Americans,
homelessness is a visible symbol of what they see as the
deterioration of civil society.
The Administration's position on homelessness
The Administration has made homelessness a prominent issue
within HUD, where it is Secretary Cisneros' number one
priority, and funds have been substantially increased to deal
with the problem. However, most other agencies have reduced
their focus on homelessness during the Clinton
Administration.
The Republicans' actions on homelessness
Homeless programs are run almost entirely by nonprofit
organizations leveraging federal and other funds with private
sector resources, combined with an enormous volunteer
force -- the very things that the Republicans say they
support. However, the Republicans have not been kind to
homeless people. At HUD, the House of Representatives has
voted to reduce spending on homelessness by 40 percent.
Funding to educate homeless children has been reduced by 24
percent. Republicans have completely eliminated programs to
educate homeless adults, as well as programs for homeless
individuals with mental illnesses. All of these reductions
come at a time of transition when the total upheaval of the
social welfare programs for the poor is sure to result in
greater homelessness, if only from people falling through the
cracks during the transition.
Message on homelessness
They've gone too far in taking from those with
nothing -- the homeless -- to give to the wealthy.
We're going to pay for homelessness one way or
another -- either through the nonprofit shelter and
housing system, or through the much more expensive
system of emergency rooms, jails and prisons, hospitals
and mental institutions.
3
The elimination of the social safety net is a deadly
threat to thousands of Americans who live only one
paycheck, one illness, one lay-off away from
homelessness.
Homelessness is now being dealt with by nonprofit
organizations, many of which are faith-based, that use
their federal partner to leverage enormous volunteer and
private sector resources. The Republicans want to
increase the level of bureaucracy by turning this over
to the state and local governments.
No American wants to see our streets flooded with
homeless people -- and yet the Republicans have attacked
the faith-based and nonprofit organizations that keep
the homeless off the streets.
The American people want something done about
homelessness. Republicans just don't seem to recognize
that.
Homeless people are getting back on their feet every
day. The Republicans want to pull the rug out from
under them.
What do the Republicans propose to do about homeless
children -- set up poor houses?
3.
Elimination of All New Section 8 Assistance
Contact: Bob Adams (202-662-1530)
National Low Income Housing Coalition
Background on Section 8 incremental assistance
Since 1974, one of the basic tenets of federal housing policy
has been to modestly increase the number of families who
receive housing assistance each year. There are currently
more than two and a half million families on waiting lists
for housing assistance nationally. There are over six
million families who have "worst case" housing needs (pay
more than 50 percent of their income for rent or live in
substandard housing). The House of Representatives passed a
HUD appropriations bill that ends all incremental assistance.
We believe Congress must provide FY 1996 funding for 50,000
incremental Section 8 certificates and vouchers. This
assistance should be targeted to those who are most in
need -- especially homeless families and those being
displaced.
4
Message on Section 8 rental assistance
Don't abandon those who have been waiting for our help
for years.
More than half of those on waiting lists are children.
This is barely more than a 1 percent increase in the
total number of those receiving housing assistance.
This funding will prevent thousands of families from
living in shelters or on the street.
This funding strengthens the private sector housing
market by bringing in families that would otherwise be
priced out.
Without adequate housing, a family's stability and
progress in education, employment, and health care are
almost impossible.

In his statement on President Clinton's economic

President, John E. Jacob, found that "the
Administration's program embodies many of the
aspects of the National Urban League's Marshall
Plan for America, which is a comprehensive,
targeted program of investments in our
infrastructure and in our people." Therefore, both
the Budget Resolution and the Economic Stimulus
must be passed intact if we are to change the
course of this nation and invest in its future
productivity.

In his statement on President Clinton's economic
plan for the nation, National Urban League
President, John E. Jacob, found that "the
Administration's program embodies many of the
aspects of the National Urban League's Marshall
Plan for America, which is a comprehensive,
targeted program of investments in our
infrastructure and in our people." Therefore, both
the Budget Resolution and the Economic Stimulus
must be passed intact if we are to change the
course of this nation and invest in its future
productivity.

Mack McLarty ump
SUBJECT:
Read-out from August 21 Meeting with Stanley Gault
As expected, Gault and the Goodyear team (Miller and
Jasinowski) made a strong pitch for continuation of the INRA,
arguing the necessity of a stable and secure natural rubber
supply on national security grounds. Main arguments:
the INRA has met its objectives, benefitting both producers
and consumers;
it is unique, based on market principles (e.g. not a
traditional commodities arrangement designed to boost
prices artificially, the likes of which have grown out of
favor);
the agreement has not cost the US Treasury beyond our
initial $53 million "ante" in 1979;
if the INRA is not extended, the three major producers
(Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand) would likely attempt to
cartelize natural rubber supplies, to the detriment of
Goodyear, other rubber combanies, consumers, and US
national security.
Without taking a position on the merits, I stressed
Goodyear's case would be bolstered if they emphasized the
uniqueness of the INRA within the spectrum of commodities
arrangements, and suggested more work on the claim that the
agreement has been cost-free to the US Government. I also
suggested Goodyear check in with Justice and Labor, which are
investigating anti-trust and child labor concerns, respectively.
FYI: Joan Spero at State thought Goodyear made its case
very well on national security grounds. Initially skeptical,
she has now asked State for additional information concerning
the financials and analysis of the claim regarding
cartelization before she decides a State position. Treasury's
Jeff Shafer is also focussing on the financing mechanism.

like the actual naming of the council if not handled properly.

SUBJECT: AIDS Conference
I had conversations with Erskine and with Leon after the President
reviewed the memo which I submitted following the meeting in my
office last week. The following need to occur:
a. Scott Hitt must NOT be told there has been any meeting or
anything sent to the POTUS. If anyone has to tell him anything at
this point you should simply say he should give us all a break, it
is vacation time, that everyone is committed to getting back into
the working 880 hours a week when we return. I cannot stress
enough how there should be no discussion about the status with him
until we are all back.
b. AIDS office should prepare the "game plan" memo we discussed
in my office and have it prepared no later than noon Wednesday,
September 6. This is not a memo to anyone, just a draft working
paper on how this would all work with a very heavy emphasis on how
we deal with the inevitable guest list problems, panel
participants, etc. The format of the conferecne at this point at
least should follow the outline discussed in my office. It is
critical the memo reflect that the WHITE HOUSE, not the Advisory
Group is in charge. This will save time in the long run as there
is no decision point left as to what group will run this show, it
is the White House. At least for now
C. Pat Romani will start calling each office represented in this
memo on Tuesday, September 5 to determine when that week after the
due date of the memo a meeting can be set up to discuss the memo
(which will NOT be distributed in advance) and discuss next steps.
Thank you!

WEIGELT-WALLACE AWARD PRESENTATION
DATE:
October 13, 1995
LOCATION:

TIME:
11:15 pm
FROM:
Alexis Herman
Danny Wexler
I. PURPOSE
To. honor two Oklahoma City doctors who rescued a woman
trapped inside the Alfred P. Murrah Building after a bomb
exploded.
II. BACKGROUND
The Weigelt-Wallace award to honor physicians for exemplary
medical care was inspired by the example of Dr. John Weigelt
and U.S. Navy Commander Mark Wallace, physicians who, from
opposite sides of the globe, worked together to save
National Guardsman, David Campbell who was critically
wounded in a SCUD missile attack in the 1991 Gulf War.
The awards were presented by Ross Perot during the "United
We Stand" conference in August to Drs. J. Andy Sullivan and
David Tuggle, both of The University of Oklahoma Health
Sciences Center. On April 19, Drs. Sullivan and Tuggle
crawled into what had been the basement of the Alfred P.
Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City to a spot where
Dana Bradley lay pinned beneath a concrete slab. Using four
surgical knives, his own pocketknife and a nylon rope,
Sullivan amputated her right leg at the knee, while Dr.
Tuggle looked after her vital signs.
Each award recipient received a $50,000 honorarium and a
sculpture.
Dr. Weigelt is now at the University of Minnesota and
Commander Wallace is now stationed at the Naval Medical
Center in San Diego, California.
The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at
Dallas will administer the award and appoint a committee to
select the recipients. In addition to the two Oklahoma City
doctors, the award was presented to a British doctor who
saved a woman in a jet.
This new award was established by Ross Perot. However, he
does not want his name associated with it because he fears
it would take away from those being honored.

RE:
Importance of the African American Media
The mobilization efforts relative to the Million Man March is a vivid
reminder of the importance of the African American media. One reason
the march was so successful was because of the outreach efforts of the
nation's black newspapers and radio stations. Long before the
mainstream press became aware that there would be a march, black
newspapers and radio stations had been pumping it for months in the
African American community.
The importance of the black media is often overlooked mainly because
their circulation and listening audience numbers are low in comparison
to mainstream media. To base whether we advertise in black media
based solely on numbers is a critical mistake because they are
considered the most accountable and believable press by a large
percentage of African Americans. This is especially true whenever
serious issues affecting the African American community are being
discussed. Its true that black newspapers have low circulation numbers,
but we cannot afford to underestimate the number of people who read
these papers in African American barber shops, beauty shops and
doctor's offices. Its also true that black radio stations have low listening
audiences. However, most black radio station's listening audiences are
usually made up of a majority of all African Americans living in that
market.
The Administration could reap enormous benefits by better utilizing
African American newspapers and radio stations to send positive
messages to the African American community. The President has an
outstanding record of accomplishments which benefit African Americans
and we desperately need vehicles to get the information out.
Additionally, the Million Man March's call for a massive voter registration
drive opened a window of opportunity for the DNC. The DNC should
immediately underwrite an advertising campaign in the black media. If
nothing more than a reminder to the commitment made at the march to
register to vote.
Further, I am urging high level discussions in the White House and the
DNC on this subject so we can quickly take advantage of the black
media's power and influence over the masses of African Americans
nationwide. It is important for us to get involved with them now if we
want strong editorial content from them in 1996. If we do it right this
could be a home run for the President.

Dear Stanley:
This is in response to your 14 July 1995 letter concerning the
Isaiah Award, to be presented personally by Prime Minister Rabin
under the auspices of the International Leadership Reunion at an
event to be held during 22-25 October 1995 in Washington, D.C.
This would be a wonderful opportunity for the President, and your
invitation is under very serious consideration. The President's
schedule is already hectic following Labor Day, but I will speak
with Billy Webster and Leon Panetta about the possibility of the
President attending the ILR event.
Sincerely,

Dear Harold:
I am in receipt of a copy of a letter which you sent to Donald Fowler,
dated May 30, 1995, concerning President Clinton's receipt of the Isaiah
Award. As you know, this Award would be given by the State of Israel and
presented personally by Prime Minister Rabin, under the auspices of the
International Leadership Reunion, which is part of the United Jewish Appeal.
This group, the ILR, is the single largest group of philanthopic Jewish
contributors in the United States and World-wide. In the event that you did
not receive a copy of my letter to President Clinton, I enclose it for your
review.
I believe that this would be a tremendous opportunity for the
President, and one which would properly recognize him for all of the
incredible work he has done to make the peace process possible. In hosting
a reception or a dinner at which this Award would be presented by Prime
Minister Rabin, in my estimation, would be very worthwhile in view of the
importance of the United Jewish Appeal nationally and world-wide.
C
Any assistance that you could lend in obtaining a commitment from
President Clinton, would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Mr. President:
It is with a great deal of pleasure that I advise you that the State of
Israel wishes to bestow upon you the Isaiah Award for Distinguished World
Leadership, for the incredible work you have done in the peace making
process. Your accomplishments are the most important in over 40 vears.
This Award would be given in conjunction with the United Jewish AI
and
Keren Hayesod International Leadership Reunion, to be held in Wash ton
from October 22-25, 1995. The evening of October 25, 1995 would be the
ideal time for the presentation, and I am particularly pleased because Susan
and I are the Chairpersons of this year's International Leadership Reunion.
ILR represents the largest contributors of the United Jewish Appeal.
As you know, the United Jewish Appeal is by far the leading Jewish
fundraising organization in America. The United Jewish Appeal/Federation
Campaign occurs annually in hundreds of Jewish communities across America.
This year, almost $750 Million will be raised. Approximately 50% is
distributed through United Jewish Appeal for humanitarian needs in Israel
and to sustain Jewish communities in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The
remaining 50% is used in America for local needs such as elder care, family
counseling, recreational and vocational services and education. We serve
thousands of Americans in need each day.
The International Leadership Reunion, which is part of the United
Jewish Appeal's largest group of givers, will bring together approximately 250
women and men who represent the very top philanthropic givers of the Jewish
people. Top community leaders from throughout North America will be in
attendance. In addition, there will be approximately 50 other major donors
representing Keren Hayesod which is the rest of the Jewish Diaspora which
serves the same role in other countries as United Jewish Appeal does in
America.
Mr. President, we would be honored if you and the First Lady were
able to be with us to accept this Award for Distinguished World Leadership,
from the State of Israel, for the work you have done in the peace process.
We would be proud and privileged to recognize your outstanding leadership,
and would hope to have a reception and/or dinner at which this Award could
be presented to you, hopefully by Prime Minister Rabin.

STATEMENT BY COMMERCE SECRETARY RONALD E. BROWN
ON PUBLIC CITIZEN'S NAFTA STATEMENT
WASHINGTON -- It's time to stop playing the "blame NAFTA" game
every time there is a "shock" felt in the international financial
markets. We are almost two years into the NAFTA agreement, and
the doomsayers' predictions of a "giant sucking sound" simply
have proven false. NAFTA clearly has had a positive impact or
jobs and exports. Let's embrace the changes in the North
American market and work towards maximizing the benefits that the
U.S. economy can achieve through the opportunities treated by
President Clinten and NAFTA.

NAFTA'S RECORD
NAFTA not a "light-switch" treaty. Lays out the rules of the game for North American trade and
integration. NAFTA is working in good times and bad.
Surpassed expectations in its first year.
-- Three-way trade in 1994 stood at $350 billion, about $1,000 of trade for each of NAFTA's 380
million consumers.
-- One-fifth of all the trade between the United States and Mexico was "created" in 1994, with
trade exploding from $80 billion to $100 billion.
- U.S. exports surged as Mexican trade barriers came down. Examples include autos.
semiconductors, machine tools, and even apples.
-- Irade growth was well balanced U.S. and Mexico each realized roughly $10 billion in new
export sales in each other's market. Exports, imports both up over 20 percent.
Given the peso crisis, this year won't look like last year.
-- Not surprising. Many private forecasters predicting real decline in Mexican GDP of 5 percent
this year -- no comparable U.S. recession in post -WWD period.
-- Exports are down 12 percent from same period last year (Jan-June), but they are still above pre-
NAFTA levels
-- Temporary situation: U.S. exports will pick up next year. GOM "taking its medicine" -- deep
but quick recession, with a strong recovery based on sound economic fundamentals
Useful to contrast with Mexican economic crisis in 1982
-- U.S. exports to Mexico cut in half. Took six years to rebuild previous export levels.
Not just crisis, but Mexican response to it. Raised taritts to 100 percent; across the board
import licensing Wasn't until after Mexico joined GATT that export growth resumed
Underscores a key negotiating objective in NAFTA. to "lock-in" the economic reforms and trade
liberalizations that had already taken place in Mexico.
NAFTA has been a critical factor in Mexico's current outward looking response:
-- Mexico implemented NAFTA's second round of tariff cuts on Jan. 1, 1995.
-- When Mexico recently raised duties on a few products, it exempted NAFTA goods
-- Zedillo's economic program accelerates the pace of Mexico's privatization plans.
-- Continued commitment by Mexico 10 political reforms.

COMMERCE DEPARTMENT COMMENTS ON PUBLIC CITIZEN SUMMARY
Public Citizen argues that their report shows that NAFTA isn't working. We disagree.
NAFTA was a success in 1994 and it is a success now.
Surpassed expectations in its first year.
Trade among U.S., Mexico and Canada in 1994 stood at $350 billion, about $1,000 of
trade for each of NAFTA's 380 million consumers.
One-fifth of all the trade between the United States and Mexico was "created" in
1994, with trade exploding from S80 billion in 1993 to $100 billion in 1994.
U.S. exports surged as Mexican trade barriers came down. Examples include autos,
semiconductors, machine tools, and even apples.
Trade growth was well balanced. U.S. and Mexico each realized roughly $10 billion
in new export sales to each other's markets. Exports and imports were both up over 20
percent.
NAFTA's success is just as evident in 1995, although in a different way. Without NAFTA,
the current trade situation with Mexico would be far worse for both the United States and
Mexico.
Best test of an Agreement is how it works in bad times: a key objective of NAFTA
was to "lock-in" Mexico's trade and economic reforms.
In 1982, when Mexico faced circumstances similar to its current economic difficulties,
Mexico closed off its market to imports by raising duties to 100 percent and requiring
across-the -board import licenses. U.S. exports were cut in half and took 6 years to
recover.
In contrast, although U.S. exports to Mexico are down 12 percent so far in 1995, they
are still higher than pre-NAFTA levels. (See chart.)
Mexico actually implemented the second round of NAFTA tariff cuts Jan. 1. 1995.
When Mexico recently raised duties on a few products, it exempted NAFTA goods.
*
Zedillo's economic program accelerates the pace of Mexico's privatization plans.
Public Citizen's report uses the wrong tests.
Trade surpluses do not necessarily translate into job gains, nor do trade deficits imply
job losses.

There is no correlation between changes in the U.S. trade balance and U.S. job
performance:
1982-87: U.S. trade deficit quintuples, from $28 billion to $152 billion.
Employment up12.9 million; unemployment rate drops from 9.7 to 6.1 percent.
1987-91: U.S. trade deficit cut in half, from $152 billion to $67 billion.
Employment up 6.3 million; unemployment rate increases from 6.1 to 6.7 percent.
1991-94: U.S. trade deficit more than doubles, from $67 billion to $151 billion.
Employment up 5.2 million: unemployment rate declines from 6.7 to 6.1 billion.
Mexico has achieved a $14 billion improvement in its overall trade balance this year (roughly
half of this with the U.S.). yet by some estimates Mexico has lost as many as I million jobs.
--
Public Citizen characterizes workers certified by the Department of Labor for NAFTA trade
adjustment assistance (NAFTA-TAA) as "having lost their jobs due to NAFTA." In fact,
there is no requirement under this program to show that U.S. production moved or that U.S.
imports increased as a result of NAFTA.
The first example illustrates this point. Workers at a Mattell factory in New York were
certified for NAFTA-TAA, but the "increased company imports from Mexico" were not
due to NAFTA. NAFTA did not provide Mexico with any new market access for toys.
U.S. imports of toys from Mexico were already duty-free before NAFTA under the GSP
program. (in fact, Mexico accounts for less than 5 percent of total U.S. toy imports.)
NAFTA's implementing legislation provides trade adjustment assistance related to
Canada and Mexico without regard to whether NAFTA was a cause. Thus, some workers
may now be eligible for trade adjustment assistance that was not previously available.
Trade with Mexico has been beneficial for U.S. jobs. NAFTA enhances these gains.
-- Public Citizen's job loss estimate is not valid. It incorrectly applies a Commerce
"formula" that describes the relationship between exports and jobs to the trade balance.
-- The Administration estimate that NAFTA would add 200,000 jobs by 1995 was based on
anticipated export growth, not net exports.
-- It does indicate the problem with short-term forecasting, however. Last year we were well
on our way to this goal, but the unexpected recession in Mexico is temporarily limiting the
benefits that the United States will reap from NAFTA. We fully expect U.S. exports to
regain their momentum next year as the Mexican economy recovers.
-- Moreover, NAFTA is helping insulate the roughly 800,000 American workers whose jobs
are supported by exports to Mexico from the full impact of economic events in Mexico.
-- Finally, trade with Mexico is a small part of the U.S. economy. Overall U.S. employment
has increased 4.3 million since NAFTA was implemented.
