BUSH-GORBACHEV MARKS TURNING POINT IN U.S.-SOVIET RELATION
When Presidents Bush and Gorbachev sign the START treaty in
Moscow on Wednesday, they will formally end a quarter-century in
which arms control dominated U.S.-Soviet relations.
At the same time, the 11th in a series of summits that began
in Geneva in 1985 seems to confirm some basic changes as the U.S.-
Soviet relationship shifts from confrontation to cooperation
"There undoubtedly will be bilateral arms-control issues in
the future," said Helmut Sonnenfeldt, a former State Department
official now with the Brookings Institution. "But I really think
the big issues have to do with the evolution of the Soviet Union
and economics and politics in the society and how we and they
interact and others and how they interact."
Kim Holmes, director of foreign policy and defense studies at
the Heritage Foundation agreed.
"ARms control is becoming increasingly irrelevant as an issue
in U.S.-Soviet relations, " he said. "The transition moving from
arms control to economic issues is not only going to be reflected
in the summit; it's already happening."
(Carl Leubsdorf, Dallas Morning News)
START SUMMIT MARKS NEW ERA
President Bush's arrival Monday night in Moscow for a summit
to sign the historic START treaty marks a dramatic end to
superpower clashes over arms control and the beginning of a
cooperative relationship based on trade, according to senior
Administration officials.
While the START treaty was the main reason for holding the
summit, "The fundamental discussions will be on the evolving new
realtionship with the Soviet Union,' said National Security Advisor
Scowcroft.
"This is the first summit where the Soviet internal situation
is going to be of paramount importnace, not only for the Soviets,
but for the American side as well," said Dimitri Simes of the
Carnegie Endowment of International Peace.
Several senior U.S. officials said the START treaty will be
the last arms-control pact the superpowers will agree to for years.
"There seems to be a desire to take a pause, to absorb, to
begin implementation of both the START and CFE treaties,' said
Edward Warner of the Rand Corp.

BUSH TO DISCUSS "CHANGES" AT MOSCOW
President Bush heads to Moscow for a two-day summit with
President Gorbachev that will focus on the evolving relations of
both nations as they officially agree to slash their nuclear
arsenals.
"The signing of START will be very important, but it will be
a symbol -- it will be a symbol that we've done something that's
been in the mill for some time," Bush told reporters Sunday
Administration officials said Bush wanted to announce the
favorable trade status in Moscow in the hopes of muting internal
criticism that Gorbachev has received for returning from a London
meeting with Western leaders without aid packages.
(Laurence McQuillan, Reuter)
BUSH SEEKS VARIED VIEWS IN PREPARING
As President Bush prepared for his first visit to the Soviet
Union as President, he cast a net far and wide looking for the
right approach to the issues facing that country and his summit
partner, President Gorbachev.
The White House has brought in advisers from every branch of
government and gone outside to the business and academic
communities looking for different views on the Kremlin's
problems
"It's intentionally a broad range of experts so (Mr. Bush)
doesn't get a narrow focus," said an Administration official
"Bush is very open to information and ideas," sad Oberlin
College President Frederick Starr.

TALKS PUSH SHAMIR, ASSAD TO REVEAL MOTIVES
JERUSALEM -- As Israelis consider the momentous prospect of
a Middle East peace conference, two of the most intriguing and
debated questions of the region's recent history have taken center
stage: What are the real intentions of President Assad, or Prime
Minister Shamir?
For every diplomat here who sketches an
optimistic scenario, there is an expert who believes that either
Assad or Shamir is bluffing -- or both are at the same time.
Rather than preparing to deal with each other, this theory goes,
the two veteran adversaries are engaged in a subtle and cynical
contest for American favor, in which the goal is to pin the other
with the tag of a blame of the eventual breakdown of a peace
process that neither seriously intends to engage in.

ARENS SAYS ISRAEL READY TO JOIN TALKS
Official Acceptance Termed 'Formality'
Israeli Defense Minster Arens said Sunday that his country is
prepared "in principle" to participate in a Middle East peace
conference, and that an Israeli official statement of Israel's
acceptance is "not more than a formality.
After an Israeli cabinet meeting Sunday in Jerusalem, however,
Immigration Minister Yitshak Peretz said that because of some
outstanding problems, "I don't believe we can at this time give a
definitive answer," Reuter reported
"We have reached agreement with the U.S. over the Jordanian-
Palestinian delegation and agreed that it should not include
anybody from the PLO, nor a resident of Jerusalem,' Arens said.
After Sunday's cabinet meeting, Religious Affairs Minister
Avner Shaki told reporters, "We're prepared to go to a peace
conference, to talk, but we have a few questions the Americans
promised to answer, and we're checking with them Israel has
in
principle said yes, but this yes is conditioned by the Palestinians
not being from East Jerusalem and not being PLO, that's all."
In Cairo, a senior PLO official said that Palestinians would
refuse to attend the peace conference unless the PLO receives a
formal invitation to attend, Reuter reported.
(Tod Robberson, Washington Post, A1)
ISRAEL WAITS FOR U.S. ASSURANCES ON PEACE TALKS
JERUSALEM -- Israel continued to resist pressure for a
response to the U.S. peace initiative and officials said they were
waiting for American assurances that Palestinians from East
Jerusalem would not be invited to the peace table.
Defense Minister Arens, meanwhile Sunday, asserted that Israel
would not negotiate with Syria over its claim to the strategically
important Golan Heights and the Housing Ministry approved plans to
build 380 new apartments in the region
Israeli newspapers reported Washington has been pushing
Palestinian leaders to accept the Israeli insistence that residents
of East Jerusalem be excluded from the peace talks.
Quoting diplomatic sources, the Ha'Aretz daily newspaper said
the U.S. was promising reluctant Palestinians, who also consider
the city their capital, that the city's ultimate fate would be
decided later, no matter who represents the delegation in the
initial round of negotiations.
Syrian Foreign Minister Shara claimed Friday on "Nightline"
that Washington has promised Syria it would force Israel to
evacuate the territory at a peace conference. But the U.S.
ambassador to Israel, William Brown, denied Sunday that such a
promise was made.

SOVIETS AIM AT MILITARY-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
MOSCOW -- Reformists close to President Gorbachev are hoping
to use this week's summit meeting to make a case for Western
cooperation in drastically reducing the role of the military in
Soviet economy
"The main priority now is to demilitarize our relations
altogether," said Georgi Arbatov, director of the U.S.A.- - Canada
Institute in Moscow.
In a recent interview with Izvestia, one of the Soviet Union's
top arms-control negotiators accused his military of obsession with
secrecy. Viktor Karpov said it was impossible to draw up realistic
plans for conversion without accurate knowledge about the number
of people employed in the defense sector, the price of military
hardware, and the technological potential of defense plants
"Simply to cut the defense sector is to drive the country into
an impasse it will never find its way out of," Prime Minster
Valentin Pavlov told Izvestia. "You can't pay wages in tanks and
planes. If you cut military expenditure you have to direct all
this money first and foremost into the military industry itself,
so that it can learn to produce passenger planes instead of
fighters."

BUSH WARNS IRAQ OVER ATOM SITES
Despite Deadline, Some Allies Caution Against New Attacks
President Bush warned Iraq Sunday that it would make "an
enormous mistake" if it fails to comply with UN demands for an
accounting of its nuclear capabilities and said he is confident
that U.S. allies would agree to use military force against Baghdad
if it proves necessary to gain compliance.
Senior officials from the Soviet Union, Turkey and other
countries, however, cautioned against air attacks on Iraq
Soviet Foreign Ministry spokesman Vitaly Churkin on CNN's
"Newsmaker Sunday" cautioned against the use of force against Iraq,
saying it would have "negative consequences
larger than may be
the intended goal of those actions."
Turkish Prime Minister Mesut Yilmaz also ruled out the use of
his country's air bases for an allied air strike against Iraq
"There might be other ways to get at the problems without
having a massive bombing campaign," Sen. Bradley said on "Meet The
Press." "At the same time I wouldn't foreclose the possibility."
Appearing on the same program, Sen. Dole concurred, saying
that he is planning to introduce legislation that "would, in
effect, underscore the need to keep that option open and to affirm
the President's right to proceed. (Gary Lee, Washington Post, A1)

convinced no Americans missing from the war are still living.
"I don't know, and I don't think Brent Scowcroft knows, Dole

POLL: MAJORITY BACK WOMEN IN COMBAT
An overwhelming majority of U.S. adults polled by Newsweek

late last week oppose having women in combat under any
circumstances. The survey also showed that 26% of those who

BOSTON -- The U.S. conference of Mayors will urge Governor

In a telephone interview Sunday night, Cuomo said he regarded
Flynn's remarks as an endorsement of his ideas " and nothing more

"I don't think it has any seriousness beyond that," he said,
adding that he had not known the mayors intended to ask him to run

"We're trying to encourage mayors and governors who are going

WILDER SUGGESTS HE'S DEMOCRATS' BEST HOPE
MIAMI -- Governor Wilder, talking like a presidential
candidate, is heavily criticizing fellow Democrats and President
Bush
"The American people have had their fill of conventional
rhetoric, Wilder said, "and I'm not just speaking of that which
flows from the mouth of the other party but equally that which
emanates from Democratic pretenders to the throne."
In his Saturday night speech here, he laid out the three
probable cornerstones of a campaign: economic opportunity, fiscal
responsibility and abortion rights.
Wilder ripped Bush's economic policies, saying the
Administration expects an unprecedented $348 billion deficit for
this fiscal year despite tax increases.
He characterized himself as an education governor.
Wilder also attacked Bush's anti-abortion position and his
opposition to a new civil rights bill.

BROWN: BUSH HAS NO U.S. RECOVERY PLAN
NEW YORK -- DNC chairman Ron Brown, in a fresh attack on the
Bush Administration's domestic policies, said the President has
formulated a recovery plan for several countries, but none for the
U.S. "I think it's a tragedy. This Administration has an economic
recovery plan for the Soviet Union
for Eastern Europe
for
Kuwait and South and Central America. We need an economic recovery
plan for New York. We need an economic recovery plan for America,"
Brown said.
"This Administration has no domestic agenda, and the fact is
that the 1992 presidential election is gonna be decided on basic
bread and butter/kitchen table economic issues," Brown said. "The
middle class has suffered because George Bush has neglected them.
I don't know what George Bush is running for secretary general of
the UN or president of the world."
Brown also charged the President with trying to polarize
Americans along racial lines to ensure his re-election, structuring
a media campaign similar to the "Willie Horton platform," which he
said reinforced white American fears of black criminals.
Asked if the Bush Administration was "playing race games" by
its failure to correct the census undercount in cities, nominating
Clarence Thomas, and opposition to affirmative action, Brown said,
"It's a terrible charge to make
But I would say the evidence
is certainly mounting to be able to make that charge."

was peppered with questions not about the Soviets, but Saddam.
(TV coverage: President Bush playing golf.)
Even as a new team of UN inspectors has arrived in Iraq, the
President accused Saddam Hussein of concealing his nuclear weapons
capability and appeared to threaten military action.
(President Bush: "Regrettably, there's a strong feeling that he
is not coming totally clean, and therein he's making an enormous
mistake.")
But Administration officials confirm that key Arab partners in the
Gulf War coalition, like Egypt's Hosni Mubarak and Saudi Arabia's
King Fahd, are reluctant to resume bombing. That goes for some
Democrats in Congress, as well.
(Sen. Bradley: "Bombing could be excessive. There might be other
ways that you could get at the problems without having a massive
bombing campaign. So I would be cautious.")
It's the same kind of apprehension the President encountered before
the war. But Bush sounded confident he'd get support for military
strikes if it came time.
(President Bush: "My own view is that if lying and cheating
continues, you'd see the countries of the world come together and
say: We've got to do something about this.")
And he got some of that support today.
(Sen. Dole: "I don't think anybody wants to kill or injure any
innocent people in Iraq, but we'd like to figure out some way for
Saddam Hussein to go.")
He also got some encouraging news from Israel. Defense Minister
Moshe Arens said today that Israel would agree to a peace
conference with its Arab neighbors.
(Defense Minister Arens: "I think we're very close to a general
agreement that will allow the initial meeting to take place and
then break up into bilateral talks.")
Administration officials say, however, that Israel has not formally
notified the President, and cautioned that even if the talks are
held, it's just another step in the long Mideast peace process.
(TV coverage: President Bush arriving at White House.)
But the Arens statement today appears to clear the way for George
Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev to issue formal invitations to a Mideast
peace conference when they sit down together in Moscow and, as one
White House official puts it, talk about the world's hot spots.

CBS's Randall Pinkston: Setting off on a final round of golf
before the Moscow summit, President Bush issued a warning to Saddam
Hussein: Stop stalling and reveal what's left of Iraq's nuclear
weapons program.
(President Bush: "Regrettably, there's a strong feeling that he
is not coming totally clean, and therein he's making an enormous
mistake.")
Renewed bombing against Iraq remains what the President called a
very viable option. But the U.S. may not be able to count on the
same allies that backed use of force against Iraq during the Gulf
War, like the Soviet Union.
(TV coverage: President Bush with Gorbachev at economic summit.)
(Vitaly Churkin, spokesman: "[Inaudible] I think cannot be met
with equally unanimous approval by the international community as
was the case during Iraqi aggression against Kuwait.")
Turkey is also cool to the proposal. While allied forces used
Turkish air bases to fly strikes against Saddam during the war, the
prime minister now says his government will not allow the bases to
be used for renewed strikes. The President told reporters he's not
pushing for immediate action.
(President Bush: "There are mixed degrees of enthusiasm or lack
of enthusiasm about using force. But I think there is a unanimity
that this lying and secreting of material must stop.")
And from key senators today, support for the President's firm line.
(Bradley: "I don't think that you should foreclose the use of
force.")
(Dole: "He ought to understand this time that the threat is not
an empty threat and that it could be exercised.")
President Bush leaves tomorrow morning for the superpower summit
in Moscow. Iraq's nuclear weapons will be one of several important
topics on the agenda, highlighted by the signing of a treaty to
reduce long-range nuclear missiles.
(CBS-Lead)
CBS's Allen Pizzey reports Saddam accused the West of caring more
about dogs and cats than about the plight of 18 million Iraqis.
The U.S., Saddam warned, is not in charge of Iraq. He told his
audience to tell their children everyday that the West was the
cause of their suffering. But in the streets, the usual rhetoric
has done nothing to quell fears that the U.S. and its allies are
winding up for another round of bombing.
(CBS-2)
ABC's Forrest Sawyer reports Iraq today presented UN inspectors
with new information about its nuclear program. Saddam issued his
harshest attack yet on the sanctions, telling his people Western
leaders hate them and want to starve them.
ABC's Jim Bittermann reports Iraqis are blaming the sanctions for
everything. But there may be more to blame. For instance,
sanctions have not stopped a steady flow of goods from Jordan.
They ensure, among other things, that there's no shortage of liquor
in Baghdad. UN officials said after a recent trip that they saw
no signs the Iraqi military has used its equipment, medical
supplies or manpower to help suffering civilians.

SUPERPOWER SUMMIT
Sawyer: Tomorrow morning at dawn, President Bush plans to leave
for Moscow and prepare to sign the most complicated arms-control
agreement in history, one that has been nine years in the making.
U.S. and Soviet negotiators put the last touches on the 600-page
document this weekend. The official signing will be the easy part
of this summit. The hard issues are bread and butter.
ABC's Ann Compton: This afternoon President Bush was clearly
anxious to begin the Moscow summit, which was delayed five months
because the Gulf War intruded and the last major arms-control
treaty with the Soviets was not ready for signing. It is now.
(President Bush: "This is the first post-Cold War summit, in a
sense, and a lot has happened -- a lot of change still going on.")
Those changes are economic and political ones within the Soviet
Union, and they have become the focal point of the Moscow summit.
President Bush intends to bring with him some support for Mikhail
Gorbachev's reforms, including advice on getting food to market,
expertise on getting Soviet oil out of the ground efficiently, and
possibly most favored nation trading status for Soviet exports.
(President Bush: "There have been some technical hangups, but I'd
like to see that matter resolved, and I think it can be very soon."
Reporter: "On the trip?"
President Bush: "Well, stay tuned. Let's save a little excitement
for you on this trip.")
Politically, Mr. Bush will be the first American president to reach
out to individual Soviet republics. He will call on Boris Yeltsin,
president of the largest republic.
(TV coverage: President Bush with Yeltsin.)
He will visit Kiev, capital of the Ukraine. And he will applaud
the proposed union treaty that would put more economic power in
local hands, although there was a note of caution sounded today by
former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger on "This Week With David
Brinkley."
(Henry Kissinger: "Above all, I think the United States ought to
stay out of it because we could get ourselves caught in a civil war
and in a domestic conflict that we have absolutely no way of
managing.")
President Bush is determined to bring Mikhail Gorbachev closer to
Western politics and hopes the two presidents will co-sponsor any
Middle East peace conference. So for both men, this summit is an
important beginning.
(ABC-Lead)
ABC's Jim Laurie reports this is a summit with more goodwill than
any in memory. But experts warn the arms treaty is not enough.
(Boris Surikov, retired Soviet general: "This arms treaty is only
tiny step. We will still have 7,000 nuclear warheads pointed at
us. We must take more steps together. We will not disarm on our
own.")
(Alexander Bevz, Soviet economist: "I think that part of this debt
should be put on a medium- and a long-term basis to normalize the
situation. Otherwise we'll face very unpleasant consequences.")
The planned meeting by President Bush with Yeltsin and Ukrainian
leaders concerns some Gorbachev aides.
-
White House News Summary
Monday, July 29, 1991 -- B-4
Laurie continues:
(Igor Malashenko, Soviet spokesman: "I do hope, of course, that
some radical, nationalist leaders are not encouraged by the United
States. I think it's nobody's interest to destabilize the
situation in the Soviet Union.")
President Bush arrives here with Gorbachev still playing his
domestic balancing act, vying for power with the republics and
forcing essential changes in the Communist Party. The Bush visit,
it's hoped, will help keep him on course.
(ABC-2)
NBC's Jim Maceda reports Gorbachev has indicated traditional
summitry is about to change.
(Vitaly Ignatenko: Soviet spokesman: "The forthcoming summit will
open a new period, during which economic issues and regional
cooperation will top the agenda.")
The Soviets hope a trade agreement, signed at last year's summit,
but never ratified by Congress, will be announced here.
(TV coverage: President Bush at economic summit; President Bush
and Gorbachev at 1990 summit.)
The START treaty should help Gorbachev cut the military budget
without raising hardliners' fears of a loss of national security.
And there is hope beyond START.
(Yuri Andreev, Soviet academic: "Maybe this economic cooperation
will also help us for further steps in the cuts in the nuclear
offensive weapons.")
For now Gorbachev may not get more than Bush's ear on economic
cooperation, but by getting Bush's signature on START, prospects
for future relations can only get brighter.
(NBC-4)
CBS's Bill Plante reports there's a radically different view of
this week's summit.
(Michael Mandelbaum, Council on Foreign Affairs: "This summit is
the end of an era. I think that insofar as summits have been
defined as the meeting points of two leaders who are bitter
political rivals and have it within their power to destroy the
world, this is the last summit.")
(TV coverage: President Bush with Gorbachev at economic summit.)
(Sergei Plekhanov, CBS consultant: "They certainly will be less
dramatic, but they will remain a very important mechanism. We're
talking about the two superpowers which are still overarmed, which
are the two only nations which really have global role.")
There is likely to be less talk at this summit about such
traditional concerns as human rights and arms control, and that
could mean a diminished role for the U.S.
(Mandelbaum: "If present trends continue, the Soviet Union will
want to talk more about economics and less about security. And if
that is the case, the Soviets will be talking less to the United
States and more to the Western community as a whole.")
(CBS-4)
MIDDLE EAST
Sawyer reports President Assad has told the Washington Post Israel
must be willing to give up the occupied territories for peace.
Yasser Arafat today said the talks will mean little without his
organization.
-
White House News Summary
Monday, July 29, 1991 -- B-5
Sawyer continues:
(Yasser Arafat: "No talks with the PLO? OK. With whom are they
going to make peace? This meeting is not a peace. This is a
settlement, a temporary settlement.")
ABC's Dean Reynolds reports Arens said on "This Week With David
Brinkley" that Israel's response is now just a formality.
(Arens: "Based on the agreements we reached during Secretary
Baker's visit here, in the principle the answer is positive.")
And that is in line with recent polls, showing almost 80 percent
of Israelis want a peace conference.
(Arens: "We have to deal, we have to talk, we have to negotiate.
Without trying, we don't have anything.")
(Shimon Peres: "In this, there is no [inaudible] to compromise.
But it's obvious the two sides have to compromise.")
Peres said today east Jerusalem Palestinians should be allowed to
negotiate. President Bush had hoped to be able to say at the
Moscow summit this week that there will be a Mideast peace
conference this October. But tonight Israeli television said the
still-unresolved Palestinian issue makes it virtually impossible
for Israel to meet that Moscow timetable.
(ABC-4)
CBS's Mary Alice Williams reports that in Iran today, there was
sharp criticism of the Arab states for their support of the U.S.
peace proposals. Iran's ruling council is accusing the Arabs of
selling out by giving in to Israeli demands that the PLO not be
allowed to participate.
(NBC-5)
NBC's Martin Fletcher reports Palestinian fundamentalists put out
a leaflet instructing their supporters not to back the peace
process. Fundamentalist power and influence is growing. Radical
Palestinians promise the more talk there is of peace, the more
violent they'll be on the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
(NBC-6)
CBS's Barry Petersen reports Israel moved closer today toward
acceptance of the U.S. plan, but didn't take the final step.
(Avner Shaki, religious affairs minister: "Israel has in principle
said yes, but this yes is conditioned by the Palestinians not being
from east Jerusalem and not being the PLO. That's all.")
(Yosi Ben Aharon, Shamir aide: "For us, introducing the PLO into
the process could be not just a deal breaker. It could blow up the
entire process."
(Arafat: "Do you think that there will be any Palestinian is ready
-- will be ready to go without the approval from the PLO?")
(Hanan Ashrawi, Palestinian leader: "I doubt that any Arab sites
will embark on negotiations without the Palestinians, and I know
for sure that no Palestinian will enter a negotiating process
without east Jerusalem.")
Assad has told Newsweek: "Naturally, no peace can be established
if one party continues to occupy another party's land." And the
roadblocks to peace got a little higher, with signals from Israel
that it will continue its aggressive building in areas the Arabs
claim is theirs. The latest announcement: an additional 380
houses on the Golan Heights.

Williams reports some 45,000 demonstrators, most of them young

Serbian nationalists continued despite a tenuous cease-fire.

TRANSPORTATION BILL
NBC's Henry Champ reports on Congress' transportation bill. Almost
every congressman has money set off for his district. But there
isn't any embarrassment. Congressmen say they know better than the
state governments and Washington what their districts need.
(Rep. Roe: "Congress itself is now saying they are fed up with the
bureaucrats -- unelected -- who answer to nobody, who have all the
answers to everything in America, but the American people can't get
anything done.")
(Rep. Traficant: "I didn't go on the public-works committee for
cerebral stimulation. My community needed help."
(Secretary Skinner: "If in fact this bill contained all great
projects that had gone through all of the analysis, we wouldn't be
objecting to the projects.")
You can call it pork if you want. The congressmen intend to
challenge the White House and special-interest groups and take even
more in the future.

ABC -- THIS WEEK WITH DAVID BRINKLEY
Moderator: David Brinkley. Panel: Sam Donaldson, Cokie Roberts.
Guests: Defense Minister Arens, Henry Kissinger, Soviet Deputy
Spokesman Igor Malashenko.
On Soviet relations: with Malashenko.
Malashenko:
I would say that nobody in Moscow is disappointed
about G-7 Summit at London, and it was very positively perceived
back in the Soviet Union. And President Gorbachev delivered this
message to the leaders of the nine republics, whom he met shortly
after his arrival from London, and they accepted and approved this
news, and nobody was also disappointed. So I would say it was a
very positive development.
Roberts: Is there any discussion there about stopping [aid to
Cuba]?
Malashenko: Well, actually, it's a very much debated domestic
issue in the Soviet Union
It is being cut already to Cuba.
And Cubans themselves know this fact much better than anybody
else
But generally, it's perceived as a heavy burden for the
Soviet economy and many people would like to get rid of this
burden basically. But they still feel some kind of a moral
commitment, and it's very difficult to make this kind of a
decision.
Brinkley: Do you think the Communist Party will go out of
business, will eventually just disappear?
Malashenko: I do not think so after the last plenary session of
the central committee, because there was a preliminary approval of
a very radical party program, which doesn't have anything to do
with old ideological cliches, with all this class struggle and
things like that. So it's very liberal, and I would say it's
almost surprisingly progressive, and there was very little
opposition. So probably the Communist Party is still able to
reform and we will see it very soon actually during the next party
congress, this November, when this party will be discussed. And
if it is adopted, I think it will be very different party.
Probably the very name of it will be changed.
On Soviet relations: with Kissinger.
Kissinger: We ought to stay out of the internal political context
because the players keep changing roles all the time and I think
the internal conflict is primarily for the Soviet Union to
settle
What would be best for us would be a sort of a federal
or confederal solution in which they are strong enough to defend
themselves, but not well enough united so that they can menace
their neighbors
But above all, I think the United States ought
to stay out of it because we could get ourselves caught in a civil
war and in a domestic conflict that we have absolutely no way of
managing.
White House News Summary
Monday, July 19, 1991 -- C-2
On the Middle East:
Kissinger: I think Israel will go to a peace conference and should
go to a peace conference. I think it's wrong to put all the onus
on Israel, because they're in a very difficult position
I have
always believed that Israel has to give up or should give up some
of the territory that it has occupied.
Roberts: Do you trust Assad?
Kissinger: No, I don't
but
it depends on what you mean by
trust. I believe that if a balance of forces can be established,
that Assad has been meticulous in keeping the agreements he has
made in which the United States has been a party. When one says
Assad is committed to reconciliation with Israel, I don't think
that even translates into Arabic for him
I have found him to
be a reliable negotiating partner if one doesn't get too emotional
and if one doesn't put it in abstract philosophical terms which
have no meaning to him.
On Iraq's nuclear program:
Kissinger: Last year, I was in favor of very strong action. But
I do not think we will have the same support, and I think it would
be a very risky course to take. And we have to be careful that we
don't look like the international bully.
On the Middle East: With Arens.
Arens: To tell you the truth, we don't really feel that we're
being pushed
I think that we're very close to a general
agreement that will allow the initial meeting to take place and
then break up into bilateral talks
Based on the agreements
that we've reached during Secretary Baker's visit here, in
principle, the answer is positive.
Donaldson: Why yesterday did you announce another
300 families
to be settled in the Golan Heights?
Arens:
The right of the Jews to live in this area has been
established for ages, has been given international recognition
To the best of my knowledge, and with all due respect, the United
States government has not held that the settlements in the area are
illegal. They are not illegal
Roberts: Do you feel completely confident that you have the United
States government behind you, or do you have any fears that there
might be some degree of abandonment of Israel?
Arens: We have a very close relationship with the United
States
However, once we enter direct negotiations, it will be
a matter between us and the parties with whom we negotiate.
White House News Summary
Monday, July 29, 1991 -- C-3
POLITICAL DISCUSSION
On the recession: Tom Wicker joins the panel.
Donaldson: My guess is that yes, we're going to recover from the
recession
But when? I think it's going to take a much longer
time. I think it's maybe next year before we're really able to say
we're getting out of it.
Wicker: It's political now to claim that it's over because there's
been a relative -- a very small -- gain in the GNP. I think the
key politically here is the question of unemployment, and I'm not
sure that even a relatively steady recovery in the next year is
going to do much about the numbers of people that are unemployed.
Roberts: It's also true that the Democrats have not been
ready
to do anything about it. It's the first recession that I've seen
where there's not been any kind of anti-recession bill going
through the Congress, anything like that
I think they're
scared.
On the 1992 election:
Donaldson:
...A lot of people think [Rockefeller] wants to run,
but some people tell me that his wife, Sharon, is against him
running. She does not want the family exposed to that kind of
publicity.
###
NBC -- MEET THE PRESS
Moderator: Tim Russert. Panel: Elizabeth Drew, David Broder.
Guests: Sen. Dole, Sen. Bradley.
On the Middle East:
Dole: I think there's sufficient pressure now on Israel. I think
it might be counterproductive to try to, in effect, force Shamir
to the peace table. My view is that there's no real urgency
On Iraq's nuclear program:
Bradley: I don't think that you should ever foreclose the use of
force
[But] why would we be doing this? We have difficulty
locating the various nuclear components now
Bombing could be
excessive. There might be other ways that you could get at the
problems without having a massive bombing campaign. So I would be
cautious.
On the summit:
Bradley: I think it would be a big mistake for [Bush] to go to
Kiev and simply be a prop for the old regime, for Gorbachev and
the rest. I think it's very important that he meet with reformers
when he is there, and very important that he uphold principles such
as democracy and human rights.
Broder: Does the president have his priorities wrong?
Dole:
There is a necessity right now to take some of these
trips, to sit down to the Soviets, to sit down with the G-7, as he
did last week. That's a responsibility the President has.
Bradley: One bit of message for the President, though, in Moscow:
Please don't leave taxpayer dollars in Moscow.
On domestic policy:
Bradley:
What the problem is, in my opinion, is middle-income
families out there under real financial pressure, and I don't see
a lot that the President has done that'll give them any relief
whatsoever, and I think that that's what people are talking about.
Dole:
President Bush has told me directly as recently as the
last week he wants to sign a civil rights bill. He's not ducking
the civil rights responsibility.
Russert: Do you think the president wants a civil rights bill?
Bradley: I don't know. He hasn't indicated any real willingness
to talk or compromise. He called off American business when they
were
seeking
to get an agreement
I don't think he's a
racist, that's for sure. I do think, however, he hasn't been above
using race to get votes in a divisive way in a number of points in
his career.

White House News Summary
Monday, July 29, 1991 -- C-5
Russert: Why did it take the Democrats until the end of the
recession to do something for the unemployed?
Bradley:
I think that one answer is the budget; the other
answer is the war. But, in fact, neither are acceptable. I think
the main point is that we are now moving on extended benefits and
we hope that the President will sign the bill
Dole: I think we ought to give the President two options. One,
that you pay for it, and one, you declare it an emergency. But in
either event, you ought to reduce the cost. We could work out a
bipartisan arrangement this week, and I have been talking with Dick
Darman and the Secretary of labor, trying to convince them that we
ought to address this problem. Then we might get it done before
the week [is over]
On MIAS in Vietnam:
Dole:
What I'd like to see happen this week is for the
President to have a presidential commission
We might be able
to weed out some of these people whom I think have got something
pretty good going here.
On the BCCI scandal and Gates nomination:
Drew: Does this have any implications for the Gates nomination?
Dole:
I don't believe we know
Maybe this time we ought to
have the facts before we start the allegations.
Bradley:
I think that the whole issue around Iran-Contra [and
Gates]
is a small part of the total picture. It relates also to
candor and to judgment. Relates to impartiality, in assessments,
of intelligence
On the 1992 campaign:
Russert: If President Bush surprised all of us and announced he
wasn't going to run, would you give it another shot?
Dole:
I might.
POLITICAL DISCUSSION
Russert: David, a couple of months ago you declared the President
as brain dead, the Democrats brain dead. How's the patient doing?
Broder: I think there's some wave of activity. Interestingly,
Dick Gephardt has sort of taken on the assignment of trying to
orchestrate a message about domestic policy. But he realizes that
he has only about two or three months to try to pull that together
before all of the focus shifts to the Democratic presidential
candidates, and there are likely to be different messages, not a
single message
I think Harkin and Rockefeller will be in
probably by Labor Day, and perhaps one or two others.
EDITOR'S NOTE: CBS's "Face The Nation" discussed violent crime and
how it is depicted by the movie industry.

THE McLAUGHLIN GROUP
Moderator: John McLaughlin. Panel: Fred Barnes, Jack Germond,
Eleanor Clift, Morton Kondracke.
On the summit:
McLaughlin: Any surprises at next week's Moscow summit?
Clift: We've had our surprise, and that is how far that Gorbachev
is willing to go in denouncing and renouncing communism
The
other surprise is scripted in, and that is the two superpowers may
be able to announce a Middle Eastern peace conference, but it looks
like Shamir is going to stall so that will not become a reality
Barnes:
The real story is that
reality has dawned on
President Bush and he realizes he needs a two-track policy --
Gorbachev on one hand and the emerging leaders of the republics,
of the democratic movement
and that is going to be the emphasis
here
Kondracke:
The surprise will come for George Bush himself when
he goes to the Ukraine and he finds out just how dissident and how
independence-minded this republic is. He has this idea that the
nine-plus-one treaty means that the Soviet Union, the center, is
going to hold. What he's going to find out is that those people
want, practically speaking, to be out of the Soviet Union, too
He's going to show that he has not got all his eggs in the
Gorbachev basket
On the Middle East:
Clift: [Bush] needs [Gorbachev] to put his weight behind the peace
process and to pry the Arab nations to give more, and what you're
going to see is, Jim Baker and Mr. Bessmertnykh are going to be the
new duo and they're going to probably travel together maybe to the
Middle East to force this thing through.
Germond: Until Shamir is ready to move on that, what the U.S. and
Soviet Union do jointly is not that important.
Kondracke:
The formal invitation to the peace conference is not
going to be delivered because they're not going to embarrass Shamir
and they're not going to embarrass the Palestinians
McLaughlin: Will [Bush and Gorbachev] form a united diplomatic
front to force through a Middle East peace conference?
Barnes: They will, but Gorby doesn't matter. It's all George
Bush's muscle.
Kondracke: They're not going to say: OK, it's going to be held
on such and such a day and anybody who doesn't show up is a bad
guy.

White House News Summary
Monday, July 29, 1991 -- C-7
On the BCCI scandal and Gates nomination:
Kondracke:
The problem is Clark Clifford and Robert Altman
who seem to have allowed BCCI to take over the bank without
informing the Federal Reserve
The CIA used this dirty bank in
order to fund various activities. The question is, did Robert
Gates know about it?
Clift:
At the very least, it's going to help bring down Gates'
nomination
On the 1992 campaign:
Barnes:
The [Democrats'] attack strategy will not work at all
because Bush is a foreign-policy President. People like the
President to be that way. But what the Democrats do have is a
strategy behind that, in which they are going to appeal to middle-
class voters, and there is a vulnerability there that they can
use
Germond:
Each one of these Democrats who isn't running for
President they have to demonstrate to their fellow Democrats that
they're going to get right in his face and savage him
Clift: The President's election-year strategy is to travel around
the world
It seems to me that the American people are not
going to put up with a second term that looks like they're going
to buy a trip for George Bush.
Kondracke: [Democrats] have to do more than tap into unease. They
have to have an answer to the problems of the unease and I don't
see it in the Democrats yet.
Germond:
The Democrats already have more of a domestic program
than the Administration. George Bush got elected on Willie Horton
and trash last time
PREDICTIONS
Clift: Republican delegates will modify the party's position on
abortion by adding language that abortion is a matter of
conscience.
Barnes: Speaker Foley will authorize an October Surprise
investigation, but it will be low-key because Democratic leaders
don't think it'll turn up anything conclusive.
Germond: Sen. Robb will be replaced by Sen. Bradley as head of the
Democratic Senate Campaign Committee.
Kondracke: If George Bush vetoes the fetal-research bill and
additional funds for breast cancer, he is going to suffer
grievously in the next election.
###
INSIDE WASHINGTON
Moderator: Tina Gulland. Panel: Charles Krauthammer, Carl Rowan,
Elizabeth Drew, Tom Oliphant.
On Iraq's nuclear program:
Gulland: Do you think that it's a good decision to hold off on
bombing, at least for now?
Drew: The Administration had a number of reasons for not going
ahead at this time. Despite whatever the polls say, I think it is
highly possible that it will go ahead at some time in the future,
both to knock out the nuclear equipment and Saddam Hussein.
Oliphant: And that may be necessary because this is serious
business. But it should be a last resort, not a first resort.
This is not January the 15th and this is not the same Saddam.
Krauthammer:
He is allowing inspection and he is telling us
information piece by piece. As long as he does, we should hold
off. But he's only telling us because he knows that if he stops
telling us, we're going to send our bombers in, and we should if
that occurs
I think [easing sanctions] is a very bad idea.
First of all, there's no way Saddam is going to feed his children;
he's going to feed his army. And second of all, if he's allowed
to sell oil
there'l be leakage around the edges and its going
to end up breaking the embargo. I think the only answer is for us
to give direct humanitarian aid of our own, under our control
Rowan:
You could have a situation where that oil is sold with
the determination that the UN agency spends it, that they buy the
food, they deliver the food, and Saddam does not become a hero.
On the Middle East:
Drew:
[Baker] got a lot further than conventional wisdom
thought he would, so I'm prepared to put conventional wisdom in the
back seat for a while.
Oliphant:
I would predict now that I can see the dim outlines
of an arrangement where Syria, to an extent, can come back on the
Golan Heights and that there can be a peace treaty between Israel
and Syria.
Krauthammer:
[The Palestinians] are the big losers here. Assad
obviously doesn't really care to be their champion
They have
no one sticking up for them and that's why, in this position of
real weakness of the Palestinians, I think they will have to accept
Israel's position on representation
To make a decision on
which your existance hinges and do it by Monday because it has to
fit [Bush's] schedule is a little bit of a push, and I'm glad the
Administration has pulled back on that.

On the Soviet Union:
Oliphant:
A ball that Gorbachev hit all the way out of the
ballpark, and that is to actually consummate the all-union treaty
with nine of the republics' presidents, including at least some
vague language involving a settlement of the tax issue. That is
an amazing breakthrough that paves the way for businesses to invest
in the Soviet Union.
On the BCCI scandal and Gates nomination:
Oliphant: Dragging its feet is being too kind to our Justice
Department. This is Keystone Kops behavior on an international
scandal of gargantuan proportions People who love conspiracies
are going to love this story as it unfolds. It's going to go into
all the corners of American political life
Drew: We have to be a little careful because this town is awash
in rumors
But there's a truly alarming proportion of this as
regards to the U.
If the CIA, as alleged, was doing business
with this bank, the question arises: Why?
I do not think this
is the only bank that would have cooperated
Krauthammer: We have a tendency, I think, whenever a great event
happens, to turn to our government and say: Why didn't you stop
it or anticipate it?
The CIA is in the business of
deception You would expect it's going to use a bank with
international connections and which is very, very lightly
regulated
The allegation that the CIA. stopped any
investigations because of its use of the bank is very serious, but
I haven't seen any evidence yet that supports that.
Oliphant:
The idea [the CIA] needs to use a bank controlled by
criminals, run by criminals, with criminals its principal clients,
is preposterous and unacceptable. We have information already that
Mr. Gates was at least aware of the dimensions of BCCI's
wrongdoings as long as three years ago
