Dear Mr. President:
I understand that Secretary Mosbacher may be leaving to
participate in your 1992 campaign. Should this be true, I wanted
you to be aware of our thoughts as you consider a successor.
We have been very pleased with many of the decisions coming out
of the Commerce Department in its oversight role for marine
fisheries. As you know, several of our magazines are involved in
marine fisheries, most notably Salt Water Sportsman, Outdoor Life
and Field & Stream. The financial health of these magazines and
the industries they serve, as well as the interests of millions
of our fishing readers, are directly affected by the status of
marine fisheries. Secretary Mosbacher's decisions on issues such
as drift nets and appointments to the Regional Fishery Management
Councils have taken positive steps toward badly needed resource
conservation.
If Secretary Mosbacher departs, I hope that you will appoint a
successor with an equal conviction to pursue natural resource
conservation. Should the Secretary not leave, I simply want you
to know that we believe he and his staff are doing a very good
job.
We wish you every success in your 1992 campaign.
Sincerely Francis P. yours, Pandolfi Dandy

FROM:
STEPHEN P. FARRAR
SUBJECT:
Driftnet Certification by Secretary Mosbacher
On Tuesday, August 13, Secretary Mosbacher signed a letter
to the President certifying that Taiwan and Korea are violating
agreements with the United States concerning large-scale
driftnet fishing.
Under the Pelly Amendment (Section 8(a) of the Fishermen's
Protective Act of 1967), the President may now restrict imports
of fish and fish products from these countries, to the extent
consistent with GATT rules. Recommendations on what action, if
any, the President should take will be coordinated through the
USTR-chaired Trade Policy Review Group. The President has 60
days (effectively until October 11, since October 13 is a
Sunday) to notify Congress of what action he has taken or
reasons for not acting.
There will be considerable public pressure to act against
Taiwan and Korea, if negotiations during the next 60 days are
unproductive. The Associated Press quoted Secretary Mosbacher
as saying that, "This blatant violation of our drift-net
agreements by both Taiwan and the Republic of Korea is
intolerable and cannot go ignored."

Dear Mr. President:
Section 206 (f) of the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and
Management Act requires me to certify to you, after consultation
with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the department
in which the Coast Guard is operating, the identity of "nations
that conduct, or authorize their nationals to conduct, large-
scale driftnet fishing beyond the exclusive economic zone of any
nation in a manner that diminishes the effectiveness of or is
inconsistent with any international agreement governing large-
scale driftnet fishing to which the United States is a party or
otherwise subscribes." By the terms of this Act, such certifi-
cation is deemed to be a certification for the purposes of
section 8 (a) of the Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967, generally
known as the Pelly Amendment.
I hereby certify that I have identified the Republic of
Korea and the authorities on Taiwan because they have allowed
their nationals to conduct driftnet fishing inconsistent with
their scientific monitoring and enforcement agreements with the
United States.
The Pelly Amendment authorizes you to restrict imports of
fish and fish products from certified nations to the extent such
restrictions are consistent with the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade. My recommendations concerning import restrictions
will be provided to you in time to meet the Pelly Amendment's
60-day Congressional report requirement. Protests concerning the
unsatisfactory implementation of the driftnet agreements have
been made to the Government of the Republic of Korea and to the
authorities on Taiwan. The responses of both countries to these
diplomatic initiatives will be closely monitored and may affect
my recommendations.
I have notified the Secretaries of the Treasury, Interior
and Transportation and the Chairmen of the Council of
Environmental Quality and the Marine Mammal Commission of this
certification. I have asked the Secretary of State to advise the
Government of the Republic of Korea and the authorities on Taiwan
of this certification.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Mosbacher him

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT:
Meeting with German Economics Minister Moellemann
My recent meeting with German Minister of Economics
Moellemann gives some insights into issues that Chancellor Kohl
may raise with you in your forthcoming meeting.
The Germans have a large stake in world trade and want to see
the Uruguay Round succeed. They know this means they have to make
major concessions on agriculture, and they think they can do it.
However, they need a strong political commitment to get their
partners, particularly the French, to go along. They believe this
will be possible only if the heads of state at the London Summit
all agree to make concessions in politically difficult areas.
Chancellor Kohl is also likely to propose that the London
Summit create a working group to explore the question of a uniform
policy on arms exports.
The Germans, however, seem prepared to consider eliminating
subsidies for Airbus. Kohl and Moellemann have pledged to cut
subsidies to German industry and agriculture by 30 billion
deutschemarks over the next three years, and Airbus is a good
candidate. If they were willing to eliminate production subsidies
on Airbus and eliminate all launch aid on new Airbus programs, we
might be able to work with them to get their British and French
partners to go along.
Finally, Kohl will ask you to encourage American firms to
invest in the eastern part of Germany. I told Moellemann that a
substantial part of our industry believes that a special system
may have been set up to reserve the plums in the east for German
industry. I pointed out the case of an American company,
Bonneville Pacific, which is being prevented from investing in
electric utilities in the eastern part of Germany. Moellemann
promised to solve this problem, and we discussed my leading a top
level investment mission to the eastern part of Germany later in
the year.

Dear Mr. President,
I want to bring you up to date about my trip to Kuwait as
the guest of the Kuwaiti Ambassador and his government. We left
last Wednesday night, spent Thursday night in Bahrain (see an
attached message from an acquaintance of yours from one of your
previous visits to Bahrain), spent Friday in Kuwait City and
returned to Washington on Sunday. In addition to our group of
about 20 CEOs, the Ambassador's delegation included a dozen
congressmen and several former government officials such as Al
Haig, Frank Carlucci and Dick Allen.
The stories told by the Kuwaitis we spoke with were
consistent with the human suffering that you had heard. Accounts
of torture and malicious, gratuitous, horrible meanness were told
in different ways by many people. We heard of several incidents
of the Iraqi's torturing people and then telling them they were
free to go and they should call their family to come in to pick
them up or they would drop them at their family's home. Then
when the family appeared they would shoot the tortured victims in
front of the entire family. We also saw some of the torture
chambers, which were often just rooms in homes that had been
converted to places where they tortured people in the most cruel
way with crude tools.
Several people talked about their relatives or friends who
are still missing and had been taken to Baghdad or elsewhere in
Iraq. They were hoping that you could be helpful in getting
these people released as soon as possible. They always added how
tremendously grateful they were for what you had done and what
you, the USA and the Allies had accomplished.
The damage to the infrastructure and buildings was
widespread. There were many buildings that were damaged, most of
them internally through fire or internal explosion. Although
many of the buildings are still standing, the Kuwaitis feel they
will have to be torn down because the structures themselves have
been weakened, in addition to the internal damage. I want to add
though, that the roads seemed to be still in pretty good shape,
as were the runways, though airport structures were very badly
damaged.
The President

Regarding the oil well fires, we toured a good part of
Bergon, the world's second largest oil field. It was astounding
and far beyond anything either Jack Murphy, who has spent most of
his life around the oil patch, or I had ever seen. We found that
the sky was almost black and full of soot and the area was lit by
these gigantic torches. We saw over 100 of them, some of them
30-50 feet in height and roaring, as wells out of control do.
The estimates range up to 6 million barrels a day now being
destroyed. It is so dramatic that you have to see it to believe
it. Everywhere we looked, on all sides, were burning wells, most
of them with no Xmas trees left, with the flame just coming out
of the casing. Some wells, where the casings were split, were
coming up through fissures and surface faults so there were
little fires all around the well.
Unfortunately, with all this destruction, we saw no one in
the fields doing anything, even the first steps of getting the
wells under control.
You'll find attached a report from all the business people
who went on the trip. They concluded that the Kuwaiti government
has not and cannot pull together the necessary resources and
knowledge to accomplish the rebuilding and recovery of their
country. They feel the Kuwaitis need to have an outside designee
to coordinate and control the recovery program for Kuwait. This
could also be done by a management team. They are not
recommending any company or any individual or even claiming that
it should be an American. (One name that cropped up, as an
example, was Deputy Secretary Don Atwood of the Department of
Defense.)
The fact that the Kuwaitis are letting valuable time go by
without physically starting necessary oil well fire
extinguishing, power and water restoration and other items does
several things. One, it could endanger their present government
in Kuwait by the dissatisfaction of the people. Two, it may well
come to rest as the United States Corps of Engineers very
unfairly being the scapegoats, and three, and most importantly,
we, the U.S. Government itself, could become involved to the
degree that we would be viewed as the nation who could win the
war but could not win the peace and could not organize the
restructuring. I have had several discussions on all this with
Ambassador Al-Sabah both here in Washington and throughout the
trip and also met with several Kuwaiti ministers in Kuwait City,
including the Crown Prince. I must admit, they seem unperturbed.

MEMORANDUM FOR SECRETARY MOSBACHER
FROM:
CEO's Accompanying Ambassador Al-Sabah on
Freedom Flight to Kuwait, March 13-17, 1991
SUBJECT:
Report on the Reconstruction of Kuwait
We had the privilege to accompany Ambassador al-Sabah and you
on the historic inspection and fact-finding tour of Kuwait
March 13-17, 1991. We return with vivid and unforgettable
impressions of a nation whose economy is totally disrupted, its
productive resources devastated and its environment sabotaged.
Fortunately, the Kuwaiti people have retained their will to
preserve their society and culture and to rebuild their economy.
Nonetheless, we must be frank in our assessment of the lack of
decisiveness and sense of urgency which threatens the project
of rebuilding the economy and the society of Kuwait. The
United States obviously has a deep and continuing interest in
the prompt reconstruction of Kuwait, for without the success of
this project, we believe the stability of Kuwait could be
severely tested.
Our concerns result not only from our firsthand observations on
this mission, but from our direct contacts and business
experiences with Kuwait over the past few months and years.
Stated simply, it is our view that the Kuwaiti reconstruction
plan, its planners, and the actual accomplishments of the first
two weeks after liberation give little evidence of an
understanding of the magnitude of the problems which face
Kuwait. We do not think the Kuwaitis have marshalled the
necessary people and resources to solve the problems they face
within an acceptable time frame.
- 2 -
A few examples suffice to make our point. First, the oil fires
set by Saddam are consuming around 6 million barrels of oil per
day and creating a growing environmental disaster. This
unprecedented crisis requires the talent and equipment of the
entire oil industry, yet the responsible authorities cannot
agree on an overall solution and quibble over minor matters of
procuring supplies for fighting the fires. Additionally,
nearly three weeks after the liberation, government ministries
are not yet functioning and comprehensively addressing problems
such as the restoration of electricity, water,
telecommunication, and financial services. The people of
Kuwait appear to be growing increasingly more frustrated in the
failure to restore basic services.
Since the liberation of Kuwait, we have seen a massive
outpouring of help for Kuwait from both governments and the
private sector. Yet it seems to us that the Kuwaiti
authorities are not adequately prepared to coordinate outside
help or the substantial internal resources of the country to
solve the emergency problems. As a result, we have seen that
decisions are not being made, and the available resources are
not being employed to solve the massive challenges facing
Kuwait.
This confusion and lack of decisiveness is perhaps
understandable, given the devastation and trauma inflicted upon
Kuwait. Nonetheless, the economic and political consequences
to Kuwait and to the coalition that supported it are so severe
that, in our opinion, a more coherent, immediate and massive
response is warranted. At a minimum, the oil fires must be
extinguished and basic services must be immediately restored.
We think that Kuwait needs an adviser or several advisers of
the highest international reputation, with substantial
managerial experience and the respect of the business community
to produce immediate results in the post-war situation. While
obviously the director of reconstruction must report to the
Kuwaiti leadership, we feel this person must have sufficient
independence and authority to direct the emergency
reconstruction effort without bureaucratic shackles or economic
constraints. The Kuwaiti leadership should set priorities,
establish a budget commensurate with the enormity of the
project, and monitor overall performance.
- 3 -
Finally, we believe that the best way to assure the creation of
this emergency institutional structure is for the United
States, the leader of the coalition defeating Saddam, to advise
at the highest political level to convince the Kuwaitis of the
need for a more organized and immediate response. The United
States could also assist in identifying qualified individuals,
or a small management team, to lead the effort. The emergency
management structure must be ready to organize the resources
both within Kuwait and from outside (such as the private
sectors of the allied nations) to meet the immediate and longer
term needs of reconstruction. The head of reconstruction
efforts must be prepared to combine public and private, Kuwaiti
and foreign, resources in a common effort.
With the reestablishment of political authority and the
elaboration of a focussed management plan for reconstruction,
we believe Kuwait could move quickly to solve its economic and
social problems. It has the resources and the will to do so,
the only thing it seems to lack is the depth of experienced
management and decisiveness needed in the post-war situation.
We believe the Kuwaitis would accept such a plan when presented
in the cooperative and constructive spirit with which it is
offered. Above all, those involved in the liberation effort
must cooperate to win the peace after having won the war.

Seafood Inspection Update:
The various seafood inspection bills died at the end of the 101st
Congress. The Administration conceptually supported the Hollings
bill in the Senate and the Studds/Dingell bill in the House.
Under both of these bills, seafood inspection authority would
remain with NOAA and FDA.
Senator Hollings has directed his staff to draft another seafood
inspection bill. NOAA is providing technical assistance for
this. Senator Hollings hopes to be able to introduce this in
late January. Some believe that Senator Mitchell will introduce
another bill transferring responsibility to the Department of
Agriculture before Senator Hollings introduces his bill.
However, Senator Mitchell has not confirmed this. In any case,
he is expected to continue his fight. The House will most likely
wait to see what happens in the Senate.
