ISRAEL READY TO SWAP ALL ARAB PRISONERS FOR HOSTAGES, SOLDIERS
LONDON -- Israel is ready to swap all Lebanese prisoners for
the remaining 10 Western hostages and seven Israeli soldiers
missing or held captive in Lebanon, an Israeli diplomat said
Tuesday.
Uriel Savir, Israel's consul-general in New York, told BBC TV
that there were grounds for cautious optimism that the hostage
crisis might be moving toward a resolution
Savir, asked what the next move should be, said that as a
basis for negotiation Israel wanted information about the fate of
seven Israeli servicemen held captive or missing in Lebanon.
"We insist on having that information. We have to know it as
a basis for negotiation which Israel is ready to have in order to
swap all of the Lebanese that are in our hands against all Western
hostages and our own boys of course as well," he added.
Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Netanyahu, interviewed on BBC
radio, affirmed his country's willingness to swap all Lebanese
prisoners for the seven missing Israelis.
We are not saying one-for one. We are saying we are prepared
to consider the release of all the Lebanese prisoners detained in
south Lebanon, some detained in Israeli jails, in exchange for our
servicemen," he said.
"What we are interested in is a prisoner-to-prisoner exchange.
But if in the course of such an exchange there can be an
arrangement whereby Western hostages can be released as well we'd
be delighted."

ISRAELIS, CAPTORS NEAR DEAL
TEL AVIV --
Muslim fundamentalist sources in Beirut told
Reuters that the broad outline of a deal to free the 11 Westerners
for hundreds of Arabs held by Israel had been agreed upon last
week.
The sources appeared to corroborate a report by two French
newspapers saying the U.S., Britain and Shi'ite Muslim extremists
held secret talks in Paris recently to arrange the release of the
hostages.
During the talks, Le Monde and Le Parisien reported, it was
agreed that the release of British hostage McCarthy and American
hostage Tracy would precede that of Sheik Obeid.
Then, the remaining Western hostages would be released and the
fate of seven Israelis missing in Lebanon resolved, the reports
said. said. After that, Israel would free 400 Lebanese prisoners, they

U.S. OPTIMISTIC AS OFFER ON HOSTAGES IN LEBANON ASSESSED
KENNEBUNKPORT -- The U.S. is guardedly optimistic that a
letter from the Islamic Jihad could help open the way for the
release of Western hostages but diplomatic efforts are seeking to
clarify the meaning of the message sent to the U.N.
The French newspaper Le Monde said the release of Sheik Obeid
would be followed by the release 10 Western hostages in Lebanon and
a detailed accounting of seven Israeli soldiers missing in
Lebanon
Britain also urged Israel Monday to release some Arab
prisoners, saying this would maintain a momentum toward freedom for
the remaining Western hostages.

U.N. ISRAEL SNAGGED ON HOSTAGES
Kidnappers Silent On Missing Soldiers
JERUSALEM -- A meeting between two senior Israeli defense
officials and U.N. Secretary General Perez de Cuellar in Geneva
failed to produce a breakthrough in negotiations over hostages in
the Middle East, and there is no sign so far that Israel's demand
for information on its missing servicemen in Lebanon will be met,
official sources said here Monday
Defense Minister Arens said he saw "an opening for hope" in
the Islamic Jihad letter because it indicated the kidnappers'
willingness to make a deal and invited U.N. involvement, Reuter
reported
Sources said that Uri Lubrani and Johanan Bein, received no
indication form Perez de Cuellar that the kidnappers were willing
to meet Israel's demand that its servicemen be included in a
hostage exchange.
(Jackson Diehl, Washington Post, A13)
THE FATE OF HOSTAGES DEPENDS ON
DEAL BETWEEN ISRAEL AND RADICAL MUSLIMS
The fate of the 11 Western hostages remaining in Lebanon
depends on whether the U.N. can convince Israel and radical Muslims
to exchange other prized prisoners that each side has been
unwilling or unable to surrender
U.S. officials said one reason the kidnappers have not offered
to include any Israelis as part of a comprehensive deal is that
some of the Israeli prisoners or remains are believed to be in the
hands of a separate group of Palestinians.
"Any Israelis held dead or alive are the most valuable
possession of the hostage-holders,' said a U.S. official Monday.
"They may be saving them for the later stages of bargaining."
The official, who requested anonymity, also said the
Administration believes the kidnappers' "bottom line" is freedom
for the Shiite prisoners in southern Lebanon, not all Arab
prisoners worldwide.
Meanwhile, Iran, seemed to complicate the negotiations Monday
by saying it would use its influence to help achieve a hostage
exchange only if it receives solid word on the fate of four
Iranians missing in Lebanon since 1982. An Administration official
said Monday that a U.S. investigation concluded that all four
Iranians are dead and that the information was passed on to Iran.

U.N. CHIEF REVEALS LETTER ON HOSTAGES
Officials Note Ambiguities In Communique
U.N. Secretary General Perez de Cuellar Monday said he was "a
little more hopeful" after revealing the contents of a letter from
Islamic Jihad that says the Shiite Muslim group would free all its
hostages "within 24 hours" if the U.N. chief wins the release of
its "freedom fighters" detained around the world.
The kidnappers' lengthy letter was filled with polemical
attacks on the West but vague on specifics about what the radical
group wants Perez de Cuellar to do
"Nobody quite knows what that means," President Bush told
reporters in Kennebunkport.
The consensus of several nongovernmental experts interviewed
after they studied the text was that "it is not an encouraging
document," in the words of former assistant secretary of state
Richard Murphy
The German government said Monday it would not consider any
deal involving its prisoners.
Asked if he thought that an end to the hostage crisis was
near, Perez de Cuellar replied: "I would not say near, but nearer
than before. "
According to Reuter, confidence that a hostage deal is at hand
prompted Islamic Jihad to release McCarthy and Edward Tracy.

KIDNAPPERS OFFER TRADE FOR 'ALL DETAINEES'
A letter form Lebanese kidnappers made public in Geneva Monday
offered to trade release of Western hostages for the freedom of
"all detainees" worldwide -- a message that was vague but gave
officials from Washington to Jerusalem cause for hope
In London, the Times reported in Tuesday's editions that the
fundamentalist Muslim group Hezbollah has offered to free two
Israeli servicemen in exchange for Lebanese and Palestinians held
in Israel.
The paper quoted officials of the pro-Iran group as saying it
was holding two of seven missing Israeli servicemen and was
prepared to negotiate for their release.
The London Times quoted the Hezbollah officals, whom it did
not name, as saying that four of the servicemen were dead and that
one was being held by the PLO.

THIRD PARTIES KEEP THE NEGOTIATIONS ALIVE
Despite President Bush's vacation calm, the White House is
negotiating the fate of the remaining five U.S. hostages through
third parties, former U.S. officials and a top Iranian diplomat
said Monday
"I would imagine there is much going on" through third
parties, said former national security adviser Brzezinski.
The most overtly active U.S. intermediary is the Swiss Embassy
in Tehran. "We have made contact through the Swiss with the U.S.
government," acknowledged Iran's deputy U.N. ambassador M. Javad
Sharif. Such discussions are "ongoing" and include more than the
hostages' fate, he added.

AMERICA'S LATEST HOSTAGE STRATEGY: PATIENCE
American has tried military strikes, secret arms deals and
covert commando squads. It has accused terrorists of being
"misfits and looney tunes," issued threats and convened solemn
blue-ribbon commissions.
But after more than a decade of fumbles and blunders in
dealing with terrorist hostage-takers, it appears the U.S. has
finally struck on the best policy: Shut down the rhetoric and be
patient
But even as diplomatic activity on behalf of the remaining
hostages rises to a fever pitch, the Bush Administration seems to
be taking a determinedly laid-back approach.
"I, we just don't know that much about it," President Bush
said of the negotiations as he prepared to tee off for an early-
morning round of golf
Unfortunately, it is far from certain that a patient, low-
key approach will be most effective in future hostage
situations
In these negotiations, "the U.S. has nothing to bargain with,"
says Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism expert at the Rand Corp. "So it
makes sense to lower the rhetoric and stop the chest-thumping.
That doesn't necessarily tell you what to do next time around."

LETTER HINTS BARRIERS TO RELEASE OF OTHERS
Not An Encouraging Document, Analysts Say
The letter from Islamic Jihad captors to U.N. Secretary
General Perez de Cuellar appears to reflect a growing public
relations consciousness on the part of the terrorist group but also
suggests many complications in the way of a quick release of all
Western hostages, Middle East experts said Monday
To have such a document delivered in a highly publicized
fashion by freed hostage John McCarthy to Perez de Cuellar, and
then released to the world by the U.N. represents a "coup" for
Islamic Jihad with much symbolic importance in the Middle East,
according to Brian Jenkins, an expert on terrorism and senior
managing director of Kroll Associates
He said publication of the letter by the world body has
brought "enormous status" to Islamic Jihad
The letter is "background music part of the political
game
an attempt to say, we are not selling out," said Shireen
Hunter, deputy director of the Middle East program of the Center
for Strategic and International Studies in Washington
Former assistant secretary of state Richard Murphy and other
experts said a mainstream interpretation of the letter is that a
general hostage release by Islamic Jihad and associated groups
would require parallel release of thousands of Palestinian
prisoners held by Israel as well as several Lebanese serving time
for crimes in Germany and Switzerland.

release, U.S. military sources suggested Monday.
Col. Earl Ferguson said Tracy was well-fed in Lebanon and is

But Ferguson refused to discuss details of Tracy's mental

PALESTINIANS: 1 MISSION, MANY LEADERS
Big Issue Is Who'll Go To Talks
The question of who speaks for the Palestinians has become
central to getting Middle east peace talks going.
Monday the leader of a radical faction of the PLO accused the
U.S. of caving in to Israeli pressure, and rejected any conditions
on Palestinian representation at talks.
"The U.S. plan does not give anything for the Palestinians,"
said Nayef Hawatmeh of the Democratic Front of the Liberation of
Palestine.
He called for a PLO-Arab summit to plan strategy for the
October peace talks, and vowed to continue the intifada.
Harvard Middle East specialist Zachary Lockman said the
Palestinians will dodge the issue of who sits at the peace table
by choosing delegates whose PLO ties aren't obvious.

SYRIAN: ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS BLOCK PEACE CONFERENCE
DAMASCUS -- Syrian Foreign Minster Farouk Charaa said Sunday
that Israel would have to cease building settlements in the
occupied territories before the U.S.-proposed Middle East peace
conference could convene.
"There has to be a cessation of settlements," Charaa said in
an interview. By continuing with new settlements in the occupied
West Bank, "it's as though the Israelis are producing evidence -
- sharp, concrete evidence -- that they are against peace and just
paying lip service to peace,' he said.
Charaa accused Israel of setting "preconditions" for its
participation in the conference by demanding veto power over the
Palestinians selected to attend. "I'm telling you that if Israel
doesn't lift its reservations on the Palestinian delegation,
especially having one from East Jerusalem, in this case the
Palestinians won't go," he said.

U.S. LENDS SPY PLANE TO U.N. TO VIEW IRAQ
Highflying U-2 To Search For Weapon Sites
A special U.N. commission, seeking to bolster its ability to
ferret out Iraqi weapons, has borrowed a high-altitude U.S. spy
plane to conduct periodic flights over Iraqi territory, according
to U.S. and diplomatic officials.
In a brief announcement Monday, the commission said only that
it had asked for "a high-altitude, one-seater aircraft" and added
that it would "commence its operations in the first half of
August." However, other officials said the plane was a U-2 that
Monday completed its first seven-hour mission over Iraq
Sources here said that work has continued on the nuclear
resolution and another measure that would authorize Iraq to sell
oil exports worth $1.6 billion to buy food for its war-ravaged
population. The sources said the resolutions could be ready for
Security Council votes later this week.

BUSH'S PLAN TO SEND MILITARY TRAINERS
TO PERU TRIGGERS POLITICAL FIRESTORM
LIMA -- The Bush Administration's plan to send military
trainers to Peru as part of a new bilateral antidrug agreement has
caused a political firestorm here, embarrassing the government and
producing renewed charges of human rights abuses by the security
forces.
The $35 million military aid agreement also raises new
questions about the conflict, or coincidence, of U.S. antidrug
policy and Peru's ongoing war against leftist guerrillas
The new pact states that drug trafficking and guerrilla
activities are "inextricably intertwined," and that as a result,
counterinsurgency is a "justifiable component" of antidrug
operations.
To critics, such language raises fears that U.S. troops could
be drawn into a protracted guerrilla war in alliance with a corrupt
and repressive security establishment, as occurred in El Salvador.
Peruvian human rights advocates argue that U.S. officials have
deliberately overlooked the human rights record of Peru's armed
forces in order to win their cooperation in the antidrug effort.
Francisco Soberon, director of the Peruvian Pro-Human Rights
Association said, "With this document, the U.S. is wiping out its
commitment to human rights."

VIETNAM VETERANS ON HILL HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT POWS
Six congressmen -- all Vietnam veterans -- have returned from

government's handling of the prisoner-of-war issue.
"I do not subscribe to the theory that there is a conspiracy
to keep our servicemen over there, but I can see why that theory
is so popular,' Rep. Kolbe said in a telephone interview Monday.
"Resolving the POW issues has not been the government's No. 1
priority."
Meanwhile, Sen. Kerry said Monday he has "hot leads" on the

ARMS SALES FIGURES MISLEADING, U.S. SAYS
The State Department on Monday rejected as misleading a report
that says the U.S. was the top arms supplier to Third World
countries last year. State Department press officer Cynthia
Whittlesey said it was based on misleading dollar-value
comparisons: "In dollar terms, the largest share of U.S. military
exports are not for weapons but for construction, spare parts and
support." U.S. transfers are generally more expensive because
they're high technology, she said, adding that other major
exporters often subsidize their costs or engage in bartering, which
hides the true costs of arms sales.

AMONG ABA MEMBERS, THE TALK IS OF THOMAS
No Shortage of Opinions At Lawyers Meeting
ATLANTA
The ABA's judicial screening panel has been
wrestling behind closed doors with the organization's official
rating of nominee Clarence Thomas, but in hallways, in hastily
arranged debates and over dinner, the appraisals are flowing.
There is little consensus -- except that almost all believe
Thomas will be approved by the Senate -- but much debate
Wallace Riley, former ABA president, said he "could not help
but admire Thomas's record, what he's done and where he came from."
Riley said Thomas would not only bring legal training and expertise
to the high court, but "upbringing and background" that are
important to the court's mix
Former Atlanta mayor, Andrew Young said that just as the civil
rights movement has turned back previous Supreme Court nominees,
"maybe we need to turn back a Judge Thomas."
Young said the Southern Christian Leadership Conference would
meet Tuesday to discuss the issues and probably would reserve
judgement until confirmation hearings.

COURT NOMINEE REPORTS $177,264 NET WORTH
Supreme Court Nominee Clarence Thomas, responding to a
questionnaire from senators weighing his qualifications, on Monday
reported a financial net worth of $177,264
The questionnaire asked about "judicial activism."
"The role of Congress is to enact laws after deliberation and
debate," he responded. "It is the function of the judiciary to
apply such laws in specific cases properly before it."
"In interpreting laws, a court's objective must always be to
determine the legislative intent. And, in adjudicating a case
before it, the court's overall objective should be to resolve only
the controversy presented in that case."
Responding to other questions, Thomas said no one in the Bush
Administration or the Senate had discussed any specific court case
or legal issue with him as part of the nomination process. (AP)

VACATIONING, BUSH SEEMS MORE COMFORTABLY SMUG THAN A YEAR AGO
KENNEBUNKPORT -- As President Bush prepared for his monthlong
vacation here, Chief of Staff Sununu beseeched him to interrupt it
to attend a meeting of the National Governors' Association in
Seattle. Despite the political benefits that the trip offered,
every other White House aide rejected the idea, and Bush told
Sununu: Forget it, this is a vacation.
The President's brushoff of Sununu's request demonstrates
Bush's unapologetic allegiance to what he views as a well-earned
month of boating, golfing and fishing. But to some it also reflects
a White House smugness, a sense that Bush does not have to worry
about how his leisurely hiatus from steamy Washington is viewed by
voters.
"Sure, I'm worried," one senior Administration official said.
"I'm always worried.' Referring to a recent ABC-TV poll that said
67 percent of Americans believe the nation is on the wrong track,
the official said, "the right-track, wrong-track polls are not a
super position. It makes you concerned. Then there is the ever-
growing theory of a 'double-dip recession.
"The truth is that not much has changed" in the public's
perception of Bush despite the dramatic events of the last year,
the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "He was at
68 percent or 69 percent a year ago, and he is at 68 or 69 percent
today. Now, Democrat or Republican, you don't get through an
election with 69 percent of the vote. What will happen is that he
will go down, and then the media will write that the President is
slipping in the polls, and then something will happen and he will
go down a little farther."
The official concluded, however, by saying that Bush will
sweep to a wide, perhaps historic, margin of victory.

CUOMO'S LAMENT: I WON'T RUN, so THEY WON'T LISTEN
ALBANY -- Gov. Cuomo said Monday that he's offering ideas to
change the course of the nation but can't get people to listen
because he won't run for president.
"Instead, what's happening now is they say, 'Well, if you're
not going to say you're running for president, we won't even
discuss the merits,' of your ideas, Cuomo told Albany's WAMC
radio.
Cuomo made the remark when asked about Democrats offering
alternatives to the economic and domestic policies of the Bush
administration.
While Cuomo gave no indication he was preparing to enter the
presidential race, he said, "Sooner or later, you'll find this
discussion picking up, speed. You'll find the American people
talking about changing course."

(Monday evening, August 12)
HOSTAGE CRISIS
ABC's Sam Donaldson: There are plenty of signs tonight that
backstage negotiations to end the Middle East hostage crisis are
underway, but puzzlement as to the hostage takers' true intentions
continues. A letter from the group holding Western hostages
delivered to UN Secretary General Perez de Cuellar called for the
release of Arab freedom fighters, but more than that, called for
the release of all detainees throughout the world. Such a sweeping
requirement, if meant literally, would seem impractical to meet.
But Perez de Cuellar continued to express optimism as his aides
worked behind the scenes. At President Bush's vacation retreat in
Maine, the official position was that the letter contained some
positive elements. But that came only after the President himself
expressed puzzlement as to what it really meant.
ABC's Brit Hume: The President's reaction on the golf course early
this morning to the contents of the letter to the UN secretary
general was typical of his recent comments on the hostage issue.
He's tried to seem concerned but not much involved in or even aware
of what's going on.
(President Bush: "Well, we don't know too much about it. I talked
to the situation room about 5 o'clock. There really isn't any
detailed information. Back in the rumor game, broad-demand game.
Release people all around the world. Nobody quite knows what that
means.")
Well, he was asked, did he see in all this nonetheless the
framework of a possible deal that might end the hostage era?
(President Bush: "It would seem framework for a deal for a long
time in terms of people releasing all hostages, but we just don't
know that much about it.")
That may be true. But it's also true that Mr. Bush does not want
to say anything that would let the hostage takers think they're
dealing even indirectly with the President of the United States,
thereby making the hostages seem all the more valuable. Thus, the
words "don't know" have been a Bush staple in recent days.
(President Bush, various dates: "I haven't heard an official word
at all. "
"We don't know anything official.
"I can't say,
because we've been going up and down. "
"Well, we don't know
exactly why they were released.")
White House spokesman Fitzwater did say today the Administration
thinks it positive that the letter to Perez de Cuellar did mention
release of all detainees. If that means all hostages, he said, the
Administration is for it. But does it mean that? Once again, the
answer was: We don't know.
(ABC-Lead)
ABC's Dean Reynolds reports Defense Minister Arens indicated the
only positive point to come out of talks with Perez de Cuellar was
a clear sign the UN is working hard for a fair solution.

Tuesday, August 13, 1991 -- B-2
Reynolds continues:
(Arens: "I am satisfied that the secretary general of the United
Nations has decided to take this very important task upon
himself.
The Israelis are disappointed the letter did not mention seven
missing servicemen. But they are encouraged the UN chief indicated
he is working to include them in any deal.
(Perez de Cuellar: "Well, I wouldn't say that they are sticking
point, but they are one of my very, very serious concerns.")
(Arens: "The terrorists that we are holding are one of the few
important cards -- maybe the most important cards -- that the
Western world has in order to bring about the release of the
hostages.")
The Israeli government is concerned a unilateral gesture now would
be interpreted by its enemies as a sign of weakness, and that the
Israeli public would interpret it in exactly the same way.
(ABC-2)
Donaldson reports doctors in Wiesbaden say Edward Tracy is in good
physical shape. John McCarthy said conditions for Terry Waite,
Terry Anderson and Thomas Sutherland have improved greatly. He
said they now have air-conditioning and a radio, and that Waite has
a Bible.
(CBS-3, NBC-3, ABC-3)
NBC's Faith Daniels: Diplomacy is now center-stage in the hostage
crisis. We now know what's in the letter sent out with British
hostage John McCarthy. It spells out a list of demands, and it now
appears the kidnappers in Lebanon are waiting to see if releasing
McCarthy and American Edward Tracy within four days of each other
leads to any response.
NBC's John Cochran: This week starts with a much different
attitude here. Last week, you know, President Bush was trying hard
to dampen expectations. Today, it's different. Presidential
spokesman Marlin Fitzwater was hardly euphoric, but he was upbeat,
saying the letter from Islamic Jihad to the UN secretary general
has "positive aspects." Meanwhile, Secretary General Perez de
Cuellar was in Geneva, having had a long, hard look at the letter.
That letter is packed with generalities, but everyone is focusing
on a key sentence, which calls on Perez de Cuellar "to make a
personal endeavor to secure the release of all detainees throughout
the world. In such an eventuality, we would be perfectly willing
to release the persons whom we are detaining within 24 hours." The
UN chief was already on that job today, meeting with Israeli
officials about the possible release of Arab prisoners.
(Perez de Cuellar: "I think the enthusiasm I have heard from the
Israelis has been a positive one. But, of course, I have to see
them again in order to know what is their clear-cut official
position.")
Nothing was clear-cut to President Bush, who was bothered by the
letter's wide-ranging demand for prisoner releases.
(President Bush: "Release people all around the world. Nobody
quite knows what that means.")
It could mean, for example, a demand for the release of the
Lebanese Hamadi [phonetic] brothers, now serving time in Germany
for terrorism. But the German government says: no deals. And by
the time Fitzwater met with reporters, the White House strategy was
not to look for trouble, but to emphasize the positive.
White House News Summary
Tuesday, August 13, 1991 -- B-3
Cochran continues:
Peggy Say, sister of hostage Terry Anderson, also got an upbeat
briefing from State Department officials about the letter.
(Say: "It isn't stating any new demands. It simply, as I
understand, is trusting Perez de Cuellar to see to it that all
illegal detainees held in the Middle East are released.")
And if -- if -- that is all the terrorists are demanding, the ball
is really in Israel's court.
(NBC-Lead)
NBC's Martin Fletcher reports NBC News has been told if
negotiations start, everything will be on the table. Israeli
spokesmen first said they wouldn't consider releasing Palestinian
prisoners, only the Lebanese. Now, they make it clear there are
no preconditions to negotiations.
(Ariel Merari, Tel Aviv University: "The Middle East is a very
dynamic place. It changes fast. Who knows what kind of regime
will be in Lebanon or in Syria or in Iran a year from now. And
hostage taking could easily resume."
Tough talk is one thing, but history shows if Israel wants a deal,
it will do whatever it takes.
(CBS-5, NBC-2)
CBS's Dan Rather: The letter freed British hostage John McCarthy
relayed to the UN secretary general yesterday was made public
today. The message from McCarthy's terrorist captors suggests the
remaining hostages in Lebanon be freed as part of a global release
of prisoners. That letter came in for close scrutiny at the
vacation White House in Maine.
CBS's Susan Spencer: The White House isn't quite sure what to make
of it yet. It's a little bit vague. The letter itself blasts the
United Nations, calling it the plaything of the superpowers. It
then goes on to say that the UN may the key to solving the crisis.
The first reaction from the White House was fairly low key, the
President being very, very downbeat when he spoke with reporters.
(President Bush: "There really isn't any detailed information.
Back in the rumor game, broad-demand game.")
The letter's broadest demand: the release of all detainees around
the world. Then, the kidnappers say, they will free the Western
hostages within 24 hours.
(President Bush: "Release people all around the world. Nobody
quite knows what that means. So it's -- you know, the fact that
much.") one is out is hopeful, but that's about -- really, nobody knows
But everyone assumes it's a reference to Arab prisoners held by
Israel, some of whom Mr. Bush has not-so-subtly hinted also can be
considered hostages who should be freed. Israel says they stay
right where they are until it gets an accounting of seven missing
Israeli servicemen, not mentioned in the letter at all. But does
the letter at least provide a new framework?
(President Bush: "It would seem framework for a deal for a long
time in terms of people releasing all hostages.")
White House sources won't say if Mr. Bush has used his famous
personal diplomacy to intervene with other world leaders. But for
all the secrecy and placid pictures of a President on vacation,
there's a sense that negotiations are getting down to brass tacks.

Spencer continues:
(Perez de Cuellar: "They are a little more hopeful than before
because we have two very concrete evidence that those who hold the
hostages are interested in a solution.")
But former hostage Frank Reed agrees with the kidnappers that the
secretary general holds the key.
(Reed: "What better place than the UN body, where we don't have
to get involved in yellow-ribbon politics?")
But there's no escaping yellow-ribbon politics, as the
Administration leans on other countries and the United Nations to
do whatever they can to see to it that the hostages are freed. In
the end, that probably will involve making a deal -- the very kind
of deal the White House so righteously says it never would be
involved in.

IRAQ/SUPERGUN
Donaldson reports UN inspectors say Iraq has finally shown them its
supergun. The inspectors said it wasn't operational. The U.S. has

ABORTION/WICHITA
NBC's Carl Stern reports Operation Rescue took the Justice
Department's actions last week as an endorsement.
(Patrick Mahoney, Operation Rescue: "Clearly, it's a victory for
the movement. The Justice Department has supported our position.")
But today, the Justice Department sought to distance itself from
the conduct of the protesters. It said it would not oppose
punishment to those who violated the judge's orders, nor was it
likely to file further briefs supporting Operation Rescue's efforts
in Wichita. Deputy Solicitor General John Roberts said the
protesters misunderstood if they thought the government approved
of their actions.
(Roberts: "I would say: Look at the badge on the person who's
arresting you; that's a United States Department of Justice badge.
I don't see how they could assume that we're endorsing or condoning
their activities, and we're not. It's a very technical, legal
argument about which court has jurisdiction to hear this case.")
Defiance of the judge's order in Wichita may jeopardize the
government's contention that state courts can handle such matters
under traditional trespassing laws. The intensity of the Wichita
blockaders may convince the Supreme Court that federal intervention
is needed. Justice Department lawyers today refused even to meet
with lawyers for Operation Rescue, who were seeking further help.
(NBC-4)
CBS's Scott Pelley reports Judge Patrick Kelly sentenced a few
anti-abortion protesters, but dismissed many other cases.
Operation Rescue accused Kelly of selectively enforcing his order.

ABC's Jeanne Meserve reports the EPA's Office of Solid Waste
published a handbook that makes simple suggestions for reducing,
reusing and recycling waste. But some powerful companies were not
happy that the publication could change consumer habits, cutting
their profits. The director of the Office of Solid Waste said she
had no intention of pulling the publication, but she was overruled
by Assistant Administrator Donald Clay, a decision defended by a
public-health official working at EPA.
(Richard Cuimano: "I don't believe that we buckled to industry.
What we did is we tried to take a look -- an objective look -- at
whether we had good information in there, information that was

where banking has become very international, Americans are
struggling to become more. competitive. Not one of the top 17 banks

handful of strong carriers will soon control the industry, proving
deregulation a failure.

HOSTAGES/OBEID (Beirut/UPI) -- Sheikh Obeid, the Hezbollah cleric
imprisoned in Israel who is a key pawn in hostage negotiations,
will be freed by Saturday, Iran's official news agency said.
Quoting a "well-informed" Muslim source, the Islamic Republic News
Agency said, "Sheikh Obeid will be released in a few days. He will
rejoin his family in the village of Jibsheet on Saturday at the
latest. Our source for this report is very much reliable,' Musaab
Naeemeh, editor-in-chief of IRNA in Beirut, told UPI. "This report
is not speculation."
(Jerusalem/CNN) -- CNN's Linda Scherzer reports the Israeli
defense ministry has completely denied [the above] report. Sheikh
Obeid is considered the most valuable card in Israel's deck; he was
kidnapped by Israeli commandoes two years ago from his home in
South Lebanon to be used as a bargaining chip specifically to gain
the release of the seven missing Israelis, and it is highly
unlikely that he will be released before those seven Israelis are
released. The defense ministry completely knocked the report down,
saying there is absolutely no chance that Obeid will be released.
HOSTAGES/ISRAELI SOLDIER (Damascus/Reuter) -- A Palestinian
guerrilla group said it was willing to swap the body of an Israeli
soldier for Arab prisoners held by the Jewish state. "We have the
body of Sgt. Samir Assad of the Israeli army and we are willing to
conduct negotiations through the [Red Cross] to exchange it with
Arab prisoners held by the Israelis," said a spokesman for the
Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The DFLP said
Assad, one of seven Israelis missing in Lebanon, was captured alive
but later killed in an Israeli air raid. The spokesman said the
DFLP had nothing to do with the issue of Western hostages and the
Israeli soldier, captured in 1984, had been held as a POW.
HOSTAGES/U.N. (Geneva/Reuter) -- Secretary General Perez de Cuellar
said he thought there was a basis for an exchange of hostages and
prisoners, adding that the various sides were not that far apart.
He announced that he expected to meet Israeli envoy Uri Lubrani
around midday Wednesday with a response on the fast-moving hostage
saga. Asked if there was a basis for a swap, he told reporters:
"I think SO. We know more or less what each side wants, and now
it is for me to bridge the gap." Asked how far apart the sides
were, he said: "Not that far apart. It is not an ocean. I would
say a river."
HOSTAGES/U.N./ISRAEL (Jerusalem/AP) -- Israel reacted positively
to the emergence of the U.N. as a mediator in the effort to free
Western captives. Israel radio said Prime Minister Shamir and
other top officials would meet today and receive a recommendation
that they authorize U.N. contacts on the government's behalf with
kidnap groups in Lebanon. "Of course it is worth continuing
contacts," said Yohanan Bein, a foreign ministry deputy director
who traveled to Geneva over the weekend to discussed the hostage
issue with Perez de Cuellar.

HOSTAGES/IRAN (Nicosia/AP) -- An Iranian newspaper that speaks for
the government said in an editorial that the era of hostage-taking
might not be over. The Tehran Times said Westerners were seized
in Lebanon in reaction to the hundreds of Palestinians and Lebanese
taken during Israel's military actions in Lebanon. Such actions
were not condemned by the West so "the kidnapping of a few
Westerners could only be the expected and a natural reaction, the
English-language daily said in an editorial. The Times is the
newspaper that last week predicted the release of an American and
a Briton [Tracy & McCarthy].
TRACY (Wiesbaden/UPI) -- Freed hostage Edward Tracy has been deemed
healthy after a battery of medical checkups, and he will leave
Germany for the U.S. Wednesday, a U.S. military spokesman said.
NUCLEAR INCIDENT (Syracuse/Reuter) -- The second highest state of
emergency was declared at the Nine Mile Point nuclear power plant
in upstate New York, but there was no abnormal release of radiation
and no evacuation of the surrounding area, officials said. "Things
are stable at the moment and everything seems under control, If a
spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Washington said.
RETAIL SALES (AP) -- Retail sales rose 0.5% in July, the government
said in a report showing that consumers continued pushing the
economy forward -- although slowly -- as the third quarter began.
And June's revised 0.1% gain was an improvement over the 0.2%
decline in the department's initial estimate last month. It was
the first three-month string of advances in a year. Analysts had
expressed concern over the June report. Without increased personal
consumption, they said, the economy faced a "double-dip" recession.
FDIC/TAYLOR (AP) -- President Bush's long anticipated nomination
of career Fed officer William Taylor to be the new chairman of the
FDIC could come as early as today, an administration source said.
SADDAM/KUWAITI EMIR (Cairo/UPI) -- The emir of Kuwait disclosed in
an interview that Saddam Hussein asked for possession of one-third
of his country three months before invading the oil-rich emirate
last year. In an interview with Cairo's leading newspaper Al-
Ahram, the emir also denied he turned down an Iraqi request for
financial assistance before the Aug. 2, 1990, invasion.

HOSTAGES (Nicosia/AP) -- Diplomatic efforts intensified to swiftly
resolve the hostage crisis amid reports that Israel may free a
Shiite Muslim cleric and Arab kidnappers are willing to turn over
missing Israeli soldiers. A senior Israeli official said the
Jewish state is willing to make concessions in exchange for
information on its missing men. But the official, who spoke on
conditions of anonymity, also said, "But first of all we want to
hear about the fate of our prisoners." Tehran Radio accused Israel
of blocking resolution of the hostage crisis by insisting on the
return of seven soldiers missing in Lebanon. But' the radio also
suggested the crisis may be near a solution anyway because the
captives have served their purpose -- raising awareness of what it
called "Israel's brutal policies." The BBC, meanwhile, reported
that Hezbollah sources have confirmed the group was willing to
release two Israelis as part of a hostage-for-prisoners exchange.
HOSTAGES/ISRAELI SOLDIERS (Jerusalem/UPI) -- Under increased
international pressure to free Arab prisoners as a "helpful
gesture" to secure the release of Western hostages, Israel stood
firm that it must first receive "signs of life" from its own
captured servicemen. Israeli officials asserted that any release
of Sheikh Obeid, or any other prisoners it holds, was dependent on
their receiving news on Israeli soldiers. "If Israel is asked to
pay the price for whatever deal will be done regarding the Western
hostages, it must be very clear that Israel will be included in
these negotiations, in this process, and that we must have very
clear signs of life of our people," said Yochanan Bein, a top
foreign ministry official.
HEZBOLLAH ATTACK (Rashaya, Lebanon/AP) -- Pro-Iranian Shiite Muslim
guerrillas exploded two bombs inside the Israeli-controlled enclave
in southern Lebanon, killing a Lebanese civilian and wounding one,
security sources said.
ABA/VICE PRESIDENT (Atlanta/AP) -- Vice President Quayle called for
sweeping changes in the nation's legal system, including dramatic
limits on money awarded in personal injury lawsuits. Speaking to
the ABA's national convention, Quayle called the legal system a
stumbling block to U.S. businesses competing in the world market.
"Our system of civil justice is, at times, a self-inflicted
competitive disadvantage," he said.
FDIC (Kennebunkport/Reuter) -- President Bush nominated William
Taylor as chairman of the FDIC, succeeding William Seidman.
VIETNAM/U.S. (Hanoi/Reuter) -- Vietnam's new prime minister urged
the U.S. to forget the past, lift its trade embargo and normalize
relations with its old enemy. Premier Vo Van Kiet, who helped lead
the Viet Cong insurgency in the 1960s and 1970s against Saigon's
U.S. -backed government, said Hanoi would help trace the fate of
American soldiers missing from the war, even if reports of some
being held alive were absurd.

WHITE HOUSE '92
*1 TSONGAS: TALKING "TOUGH LOVE" AND "ECONOMIC SPUTNIK"
He "brought his message of economic 'tough love'" to the ABA
convention (Tom Baxter, ATLANTA CONSTITUTION). Like Wilder, who
addressed the group 8/10, he "was nearly as critical of his own
party as he was of President Bush": "The reason [Dems] lose is
because nobody trusts us with the economy. Nor should they." He
"warned of a coming 'economic Sputnik' that will make Americans
aware of how vulnerable they are in the international economy."
Tsongas "is a liberal on most social issues, but the only way to
keep a liberal society going, he said, is to provide for an
expanding economy": "The administration is telling people
everything is fine. They know it isn't. But what you have to
give them as a substitute is reality -- tough love. Although he
"didn't receive the most prestigious speaking slot in the
weeklong convention, [he] was well received by his audience,
which appeared to respond to his message of economic pragmatism":
"If you're thinking of 1992 and who are the swing votes, that
audience in there is exactly what you're talking about.' He also
"predicted that by the end of [9/91] there will be five or six
[Dem] candidates in the field. But he expressed frustration with
a race in which he so far has been relegated to arguing with
himself": "At some point, if you're a candidate with ideas,
those ideas must bounce off something." He portrayed Bush as "a
president who is pro-business and pro-capital gains but
understands neither." For example, Tsongas said his capital
gains plan "would give greater incentives to long-term investors
and discourage speculators more than Mr. Bush's plan" (8/13).
N.O. TIMES-PICAYUNE editorial: "Paul Tsongas could soon become a
household name by default.
At this juncture, a match between
Mr. Tsongas, who seems to be campaigning more on principle than
expectations of victory, [and Bush] would make David VS. Goliath
seem like a match of near equals" (8/12).
*2 CUOMO: SUPER MARIO BOTHERS -- PLAYING GAMES WITH DEMS?
Germond & Witcover praise his "spellbinding indictment of
the Bush administration for dumping national responsibilities on
the states and cities," but, citing his declaration of no plans
to make plans, grumble, "And so, after dancing the girl around
the floor and showing her his fanciest footwork, the Fred Astaire
of political oratory was showing her to her seat. She would have
to find somebody else to take her home." But for "all his
eloquence, Cuomo also sounded like an old Democrat whose answer
to problems is more money." They conclude: "Cuomo could easily
end all the dancing around by saying flatly that he will finish
out his third term, which runs through 1994. If he is tired of
the questions, he can thus shut them off once and for all. But
he doesn't, and so the speculation continues -- along with the
suspicion that that's what he really wants" (Balto. EVENING SUN,
8/12) BOSTON HERALD's Rachelle Cohen reacts to the same Hyannis
speech: "Oh, the guy's still got it -- got it big time. All the
warmth, the humor, the fire the [Dems] have been looking for in a
presidential contender was still all there in their one true and
enduring love, Mario Cuomo. And while [he] vamped and teased, he
would not surrender -- not now. Sigh" (8/11). WASH. POST's Mary
McGrory writes, "Just as the speech could have been lifted intact
and put on the teleprompter at a campaign stop, the scratchy
encounter with the press that followed could be repeated in
hundreds of briefing rooms from [NY to CA]. If Cuomo's rhetoric
is incomparable, so is his tendency to bicker with people who
cannot hold their own with him in semantic jiujitsu. ...
The
Mayors, who knew they were listening to the best campaign speech
they were likely to hear in 1992, were awestruck, but
exasperated. Why should he speak like that if he isn't going to
act? Why torture them.
Not since 1968, when another obvious
candidate refused to move, have [Dems] been so frustrated.
...
Bobby Kennedy showed anguish over his dilemma; Cuomo seems merely
angry" (8/13). On his WAMC radio show in Albany, Cuomo said
"he's offering ideas to change the course of the nation but can't
get people to listen because he won't run for president" (W.
TIMES, 8/13). In a column discussing Cuomo's Italian-American
ethnicity, BOSTON GLOBE's Robert Turner writes, "It is time for
Cuomo to move ahead, selling his message and, if he dares,
himself.
...
For nearly three years, Cuomo has been the [Dem]
leader who has criticized President Bush's domestic policies most
consistently and effectively by far." Gephardt "has been a
distant second.' In downplaying the importance of the
"messenger," Cuomo "should know better, and surely does.
Personas are the driving force of American politics. If issue
positions determined the outcome, Walter Mondale would have won
the presidency" (8/13).
TV TALK: Chris Matthews: "My hunch is that he will not
run." Bob Beckel: "I thought he was going to run, then I didn't
think he was going to run, then I did, now I don't care The
point about Mario is that everybody is sitting in the Democratic
Party waiting for this guy to make up his mind, thinking he is
going to be this great savior is ridiculous thing for the party
to be doing. If Cuomo says he is not going to run, let it alone
and lets move on" ("Good Morning America, ABC, 8/13). Ex-NYC
Mayor Ed Koch on Cuomo: "He will have huge problems in conveying
what he wants to do for the state of New York, is what the nation
wants for itself" ("FOX Morning News, 8/13).
EARLY LINE: BOSTON HERALD's Wayne Woodlief "handicapped"
six Dem hopefuls. On Cuomo: "Philosophical, sometimes earthy,
and a media star, he's still rated the party's 800-pound gorilla,
even if he remains reluctant to swing in the presidential
jungles." Strengths: "Can raise a fat war chest fast and is the
only one who can wait much longer to jump in." Weaknesses: "Had
a bad year at home, slashing services and raising taxes. He gets
blamed for a lot of New York-sized urban ills a lot of Americans
want no part of. This time, with all of Bush's pluses and
Cuomo's own problems, we think he means no." Odds: "30-70
against" (8/11).
*3 CLINTON: MR. DLC TO ADDRESS SCLC
The "head of what Jesse Jackson has dubbed the 'Southern
White Boys Club' takes his possible presidential candidacy" to
the SCLC conference in Birmingham 8/14 (Jeffrey Stinson, ARKANSAS
GAZETTE). SCLC pres. Joseph Lowery said Clinton was invited
because "I think he's one of the promising young politicians in
this country. He's been a sensitive governor. He has
aspirations to higher office." But his "commitment to civil
rights has been questioned in recent months as he has chaired the
[DLC]." Cited is the exclusion of Jackson from the 5/91 DLC
convo, the DLC position against quotas, and Clinton's abolition
of "race-norming" in AR employment tests. State Rep. Irma
Hunter, who is black: "It's getting more and more difficult to
tell the difference between" Clinton & Bush. Rep. Mike Espy (D-
MS), a black DLC member, on suspicions that the DLC is "moving
away" from blacks: "If that were true, I would not be involved
in the DLC. I know Bill Clinton never would be either" (8/11).
L.A. TIMES' Shogan & Brownstein report DLC officials "are cooking
up plans to get out the groups's controversial message," even if
Clinton doesn't run. The "most dramatic idea": "sponsoring
ballot initiatives around the country" on DLC-endorsed ideas
(8/12) The Woodlief line: "Preaches centrist message that
[Dems] must be strong on national defense, for workfare and
'individual responsibility."" Strengths: "A solid record in
[AR]; voted most effective governor [see HOTLINE 6/24]. Boyish
good looks and earthy style that may win back some Southern and
middle-class voters." Weaknesses: "Tendency to pick fights with
powerful enemies, including Jackson and Cuomo. Rumors of past
alleged romances could cause early Hart-attacks by media. Wife
says she can handle it, but can an 11-year old daughter?" Odds:
"60-40 he'll run" (BOSTON HERALD, 8/11).
ACHOO! WASH. TIMES' Donald Lambro writes Clinton "is
worried that his allergies might affect his performance" as a
candidate. "With his party's top presidential contenders
dropping like flies, the [Gov.] has suddenly raised questions
about the effect his serious allergic reactions to certain foods
and outdoor seasonal conditions could have on his ability to
handle a rigorous national campaign." Clinton: "It is on
occasion very painful for me. Among other symptoms, "the
allergies can result in a puffy, reddened nose and occasionally
rob him of one of his most important assets: his voice.' His
"close" advisers say his decision to "will be based on whether he
thinks Bush is beatable and not on his allergy problems.' But
some have questions on the severity of his allergies. DLC exec.
dir. Al From: "At least once a year he loses his voice and there
are times when he's bothered a lot by them." But From added,
"I've never seen him incapacitated. AR Dem chair Betsey Wright:
"His allergies are a very serious problem. From time to time
they are incapacitating in that its really hard to give a major
speech when you've lost your voice.' Lambro concludes, "Raising"
the problem of allergies "would be a new and novel excuse for not
seeking" the nomination, "even in a party whose presidential
contenders have offered a broad range of alibis" (8/13).
HOLLYWOOD: PINE BLUFF COMMERCIAL's Paul Greenberg on recent
comments about Clinton made by TV producer Norman Lear. Lear
called Clinton a man whose "heart and mind are kind of on his
sleeve. He's smart and he's sweet, or maybe caring is a better
word." Greenberg, "How's that again? No one has ever questioned
Bill Clinton's intelligence, but sweet? Can this be the most
elected" AR Gov. "since Orval Fabus, not to mention the shrewdest
and most powerful? the me candidate who can say just the
right things about abortion to both the" Natl Women's Caucus and
"folks back home who oppose public funding for abortions? Mind
and heart on his sleeve? Close to his vest would be more like
it. Well, maybe Hollywood's Mr. Lear knows the governor better
than we in [AR] do. Mr. Clinton has spent enough time out there
of late" (WASH. TIMES, 8/13).
*4 GORE: "TENNESSEE HAMLET"
In a discussion of Dem solidarity on '92 message
development, BOSTON GLOBE's Curtis Wilkie writes of Gore's
"regional experience dealing with the politics of race." Gore:
"I come from the South. We've seen this kind of politics for
years. Whenever hard times threaten middle-income families
those who do not want any kind of economic initiative to change
the situation start yelling race" (8/12). In deciding whether to
run, he "has family concerns uppermost on his mind, aides on his
staff insist." The "anxiety every candidate feels ...
is
intensified in Gore's case" due to the serious injury sustained
by his son 2 years ago. Sources also say Gore "is weighing the
political risk of emerging from the campaign a two-time loser."
One '88 adviser: "If he runs, he has to win the nomination to
avoid political damage.
...
There is no way Gore can win by
losing" (Shogan/Brownstein, L.A. TIMES, 8/12). The Woodlief
line: "Tennessee Hamlet, down on the family farm this month to
end, finally, the up-and-down suspense on his decision."
Strengths: "Battle-tested and one of the last three in the [Dem]
ring in '88, he'd be an instant frontrunner with a fair-sized war
chest. Voted for Gulf War resolution, strong on environment."
Liabilities: "Image still a bit stiff and preppy (remember those
'Prince Albert' cartoons in '88?). Concerns include arduous
impact on young family (children ages 8-17) and political impact:
If he loses big to Bush, there'll be no third chance for Gore in
'96." Odds: "50-50 at best" (BOSTON HERALD, 8/11).
*5 WILDER: DON'T WORRY, HE'S GOT A SECURE PHONE
At his 8/11 strategy pow-wow (see HOTLINE 8/12), plans were
made for him to travel to NH and "possibly another early primary
state this month" to test the waters for '92, "according" to
advisors. The trip "would be designed" to see if he "gets the
same kind of encouraging response" that got when he went to IA in
the spring (Norman Gomlak, Fairfax JOURNAL, 8/13). Advisers also
told him that he "should talk up fiscal affairs and race -- two
of his favorite themes -- if he runs" (Schapiro, RICHMOND TIMES-
DISPATCH). VA Dem chair/Wilder adviser Paul Goldman "said a
consensus emerged" at the session that "economic and racial
issues are connected," and that the "decline in the nation's
financial health has eroded relations between blacks and whites"
(8/12). Also discussed was the "time commitment necessary for a
presidential campaign. The [Dem] primary season will begin in
mid-February, when the legislature will be debating Wilder's
proposed state budget." Goldman: "With modern communications, a
governor or president is always in communication. You take the
job with you" (RICHMOND NEWS LEADER, 8/12). GREENVILLE NEWS' Dan
Hoover cites three recent events that "may have made his bid
...
more likely": Rockefeller's exit, reports that Jackson would
take the CNN job, and Robb's courthouse call. He also reports
Wilder may order a poll in Iowa (8/11). BOSTON HERALD's Wayne
Woodlief: "Hot prospect after historic election in '89 ...
and
no-tax budget-balancing." Strengths: "Stark contrast to Jackson
and other party liberals because of his more conservative
message, including budget cuts instead of new spending."
Liabilities: "Cooled off after headlines on nasty feud with"
Robb "and lip-slip remark" on Thomas. "The Wilder camp is
polling in [NH] before he decides. Don't expect encouraging
findings." Odds: "45-55 against" (8/11).
CONSULTANT UPDATE: In addition to Joe Trippi and Goldman,
also present were Joe Johnson, ex-E.D. of Jesse Jackson's Rainbow
Coalition, and an "unidentified representative" of Dem media
consultant Ray Strother. Goldman "said another meeting is
planned for consultants who were unable to attend including" Dem
media consultant/'89 Wilder adviser Frank Greer. Greer, who is
"also advising" AR Gov. Bill Clinton, "said he could not attend"
the meeting because "my mother-in-law is in town and that was my
priority" (Schapiro, TIMES-DISPATCH, 8/12).
*6 DEM ROUND-UP
HARKIN: BSOTON HERALD's Wayne Woodlief: "He's on a
mission: To prove that Hubert Humphrey-style old-time liberalism
hasn't been buried under four [GOP] presidential landslides in
the past five cycles." Strengths: "An eye-snapping, fiery stump
style, and an up-from-poverty life story." Weaknesses: "He's
vague on how to pay for federal goodies, and after a few
comfortable years in Congress, this coalminer's son has become a
Bahamas property owner. " Odds: "About 90-10" (8/11).
JACKSON: Bob Beckel: "Jesse Jackson will probably not run
for president, he's probably going to take a TV talk show which
is the right thing for him to do.
...
Jackson could fill up a
room and scare a lot of people out of it at the same time" ("Good
Morning America," ABC, 8/13). The Woodlief line: "Except for
Cuomo, the best known of all those mentioned." Strengths: "He
makes a lot of people's emotions boil and stirs them to action."
Weaknesses: "He makes a lot of other people's emotions boil and
stirs them to action too. Reportedly given an ultimatum to say
yes or no soon to a fat TV contract" from CNN (see HOTLINE 8/6),
"Jackson seems likely to pick video stardom over a probable third
strike and out in the presidential ball game." Odds: "20-80
against" (BOSTON HERALD, 8/11).
ROCKEFELLER: Wheeling NEWS-REGISTER's Mike Myer: "For
thoughtful observers, [the question] becomes: In 1996, who will
the Republicans run against Jay Rockefeller?" (8/11). Fairmont
TIMES-WEST VIRGINIAN editorial header: "Jay surprises again;
Don't rule out 1996" (8/11). Wheeling NEWS-REGISTER editorial:
"We still have lots to look forward to, not the least of which is
1996" (8/8). Martinsburg MORNING JOURNAL headline, citing Rep.
Harley Staggers' (D-WV) press secretary: "Jay May Be V.P.
Candidate" (8/9). Chris Matthews: "If he spends the next four
years studying not just the country's health and social needs but
the economic means to address them, he will be a better candidate
than he would have been in 1992" (W. TIMES, 8/13).
CARTER: C.S MONITOR's Godfrey Sperling continues his
sponsorship of Carter in '92 asking, "who of the present crop of
[Dem] candidates (and their ranks are thinning) would be able,
right from the beginning, to grab the national attention that a
Carter bid for the White House would claim." Carter's thoughts
on being "rebuffed" by Dems? Bert Lance: "He's past that. He
doesn't want to look back" (8/13). Ex-NH AG Tom Rath: "If you
can exhume Zachary Taylor, you can exhume Jimmy Carter" ("Inc,"
CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 8/12).
HART: Gary Hart is presently working in international
business "helping American companies break into overseas
markets." He "says he has no interest in returning to politics."
His advice to '92 hopefuls: "It takes a long time to prepare to
govern America. It's important for people seeking the office to
be prepared, not to learn on the job" (USA TODAY, 8/13).
GEPHARDT: Three "nationally obscure" Dem governors were
singled out by Gephardt as potential contenders -- "in 1992 or
beyond": Ray Mabus (D-MS), Roy Romer (D-CO) and Evan Bayh (D-
IN). He included them in a list "along with the standard names":
Jackson, Cuomo, Wilder, Clinton, Gore, Kerrey, Kerry and Bradley
(Schlinkmann, ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, 8/11).
WOMEN: MARIN INDEPENDENT JOURNAL's Linda Witt writes, "Run
a women for president. It's the perfect year." Mentioned as
leading Dem female political leaders: TX Gov. Ann Richards, Rep.
Joan Kelly Horn (D-MO), Rep. Pat Schroeder (D-CO), Sen. Barbara
Mikulski (D-MD), NY Senate candidates Geraldine Ferraro and
Elizabeth Holtzman, OR Gov. Barbara Roberts, ex-Commerce Sec.
Juanita Kreps, ex-CBO dir. Alice Rivlin, Univ. of WI chancellor
Donna Shalala, Spellman College pres. Johnetta Cole, ex-MO LG
Harriet Woods, ex-MA LG Evelyn Murphy, TX RR commis. Lena
Guerrero and Houston Mayor Kathy Whitmire (USA TODAY, 8/13).
MORNING CHATTER: ABC's "Good Morning America" hosted S.F.
EXAMINER's Chris Matthews and Dem analyst Bob Beckel. Matthews:
"The American people are very practical voters. They decided
that they'd like a very strong president -- a president that will
manage the economy that will keep taxes down
for the big
grown up job. They have gotten in the habit of voting for the
Republicans, and the Republicans have a reputation for being good
at it.' Beckel: Dems "believe you can't run and lose a second
time. Let's keep in mind that the last three Republican
presidents [Bush, Reagan and Nixon] all ran and lost before they
got to the White House so that's a bogus argument by the
Democrats
What the [Dems] are going to have to realize now,
is that they must re-introduce themselves to the middle class,
when that happens, maybe, just maybe, the Democrats can elect
someone to the presidency." Matthews: "When you deal with the
Democrats you always get this sense that they're playing to the
contributors at the table of the fundraisers" (8/13).
*7 BUSH/GOP ROUND-UP
STAYING THE COURSE? Chris Matthews asks: "What if George
Bush, at 67 and still bothered by Graves' disease, decides not to
run for re-election next year?" It's a "provocative question,
not because a presidential retirement is likely, but because it
remains undeniably plausible. The expert who keeps insisting on
that plausibility is George Bush himself.
...
Last weekend, the
president pulled out his medical chart again. Huddling with his
campaign aides at Camp David, Bush kept open the question of
whether bad health would force an early retirement." If he
doesn't run, "who then would seek to lead the country? Ask [DC]
professionals from both parties and you'll get a powerful reply:
practically everybody. All those loyal [GOPers] cheering from
the dugout, all those [Dem] sluggers now slouching on the bench,
would suddenly streak for the on-deck circle." Dem consultant
Carter Eskew said the "chief reason the party's big hitters are
hanging back
is George Bush. With Bush out of the GOP
lineup, most of those waiting for '96 and a chance to face Dan
Quayle would storm onto the field." Dem consultant Bob Shrum
"predicts that the first [Dems] to move" would be Harkin, Gore,
Clinton, Jackson, and Wilder. Gephardt and Rockefeller "may have
already closed the door." And whether Cuomo and Bentsen "would
enter a Bush-less '92 contest remains beyond the ability of even
this city's bold prognosticators to predict." On the GOP side, a
Bush retirement "would spark a stampede from his own party's
bench as well." The list "begins, but does not end" with Quayle.
Also mentioned: Baker, Dole, Kemp, Gramm, Alexander, Bennett,
Wilson, all "on the speculative rosters of experienced campaign
consultants.' Two other prospects: Cheney and Powell, "both of
whom gained considerable prestige in the Persian Gulf war" (S.F.
EXAMINER, 8/11). N.Y. TIMES' Russell Baker writes, "All America
would laugh to see [the Dems] all rush back in after Mr. Bush
dropped out. Knowing how deadly such laughter can be would
probably keep them permanantly sidelined, guaranteeing Mr. Bush's
hand-picked successor a romp to the White House, sealing his
reputation for political genius and assuring him generous ink in
the history books. " Four reasons for Bush not running: "Second-
term curse Wisdom of Joseph P. Kennedy ("Only a fool holds
out for top dollar")
Lethal domesticity ("Everything needs to
be done and there is no money to do anything")
...
Age and
health." TIMES' Baker picks Sec./State Baker as Bush's "choice"
to run should he retire (8/13)
SU-WHO-WHO? The CoS is "in trouble again. " Sources tell
NEWSWEEK that Bush, before the recent Camp David '92 pow-wow,
gave Sununu "a list of about three dozen people to be invited.
Sununu peremptorily deleted a handful of names from the list,
including such longtime Bush political associates as Pete Teeley,
David Bates, and Rich Bond." When Bush heard, he "did not
confront Sununu directly, but saw to it that the rejects were
invited. Friends say the incident has increased the distance
between the two men." One "associate": "The president isn't
telling anyone what he thinks, but he can't hide his emotions
anymore" (8/19 issue).
HOTSPOTS
*8 CONNECTICUT: JOHNSON ADVISED "TO THINK LONG AND HARD"
New Britain HERALD editorial notes Rep. Nancy Johnson (R-06)
"says she is pondering a run" for Sen. Chris Dodd's (D) seat.
"Johnson is advised to think long and hard about such a move,
weighing the probability of gain against the real possibility of
what would be lost.
Johnson has been an outstanding
Congresswoman.
And while she has compiled a glittering record
of victories
...
Dodd is a more powerful and popular adversary
than she has ever encountered and appears unable to do much
wrong. It would take an extraordinary effort to beat him, and
while it is possible, what she and the district stand to lose
should give pause.
...
Is it in the [GOP's] and Mrs. Johnson's
best interest to lose what has been a sure House seat, her
increasing seniority and growing recognition with her colleagues
for a battle with Mr. Dodd that will be uphill at best?" (8/12).
*9 FLORIDA: GRAHAM AND CENTRU$T REAX
"Even with the GOP still trying to recruit a candidate,"
Sen. Bob Graham (D) "is already fielding questions about his ties
to fallen CenTrust Savings Bank chief David Paul." Graham: "I
am certain that this issue will be raised again in other contexts
in 1992.
...
The reality of my dealings with David Paul were A,
limited, and B, appropriate." FL GOP chair Van Poole: "He's got
a lot of questions to answer about his coziness to David Paul.
The public not only deserves, but will demand that these
questions be answered." GOP strategist Mac Stipanovich
"described a commercial featuring photographs of Paul's gold-
plated bathroom fixtures and fancy yacht
...
interspersed
with
photographs of Graham": "He not only didn't prevent it, but he's
the guy's buddy." However, "consultants caution that Graham's
CenTrust troubles alone are not enough to kick him out of office"
because he "is perhaps the best-known politician in the state,"
he "did not receive campaign contributions from Paul" so "there
is no spectre of a political payoff, " he "welcomes scrutiny of
his actions," and his "best-known potential challenger isn't
convinced that the senator himself did anything wrong" -- ex-Rep.
Bill Grant (R) "doubts Graham acted dishonorably": "I don't
question his honor, but I certainly do question his politics.
It's something I can assure you that people in the party
including myself are taking a strong look at" (David Dahl, ST.
PETERSBURG TIMES, 8/11).
*10 MARYLAND: THE SCOOP ON SNOOPS
The Annapolis Ethics Commission and a council cmte. "will
look into" Mayor Alfred Hopkins' decision last month "permitting
an Annapolis ambulance to take" Gov. Wm Donald Schaefer's (D)
"long time companion," Hilde Mae Snoops, "to Baltimore on a non-
emergency run," after she fell at the Gov.'s mansion. While the
ambulance was returning, an Annapolis man "died of cardiac
arrest" (Gary Gately, Balto. SUN). Although the responding
ambulance was 3 miles farther from the scene than the one
transporting Snoops would have been, Fire Capt. George Sherlock
"said that the extra time was not a factor." Fire officials
originally turned down Snoops' request for transport "because of
a policy forbidding non-emergency transports outside the city."
Hopkins claimed "he had not known that any fire officials denied
the request." Ex-Sec to ex-Mayor Dennis Callahan Irma Sponsler
charged Hopkins with violating "a section of the city code
forbidding an elected official to use 'the prestige of his office
for his own private gain for another person" (8/13). Hopkins:
"I deemed a call from a state police captain charged with the
Governor's Mansion security to be an emergency" (W. POST, 8/13).
*11 MASSACHUSETTS: MASS-IVE SUPPORT FOR GOP
A poll "taken last week for a Republican statewide office
holder indicates 52 percent of residents surveyed had a strongly
or somewhat favorable opinion of the GOP" while "only 31 percent"
viewed the Dems "in favorable terms.
Sources" said a poll by
the state Dems "in June discovered similar sentiments. GOP
consultant Charles Manning: "It's an amazing turnaround." Dem
advisor Michael Goldman "attributed the results to a lack of
leadership from any single" Dem "at the state or national level"
and "suggested the numbers would change once citizens ...
began
to feel the effect of massive budget cuts implemented by" Gov.
William Weld (R). Manning said "the change" is "more solid"
(Armstrong, BOSTON HERALD, 8/12).
REMEMBER ME? A June DSCC fund-raising letter "contained a
glaring omission" -- the name of Sen. Ted Kennedy (D). DSCC
comm. dir. Jeff Eller on the omission: "There's no significance
to that. " The letter left Kennedy's name out of a listing of 3
cmte chairs "despite a reference in the letter to the Labor and
Human Resources Committee chairmanship he holds" (HERALD, 8/12).
Kennedy, who "has only raised $50" in '91, "has prudently kept
his still-formidable fund-raising machines idling while the Palm
Beach rape case plays out." A Kennedy "advisor": "It would be
pointless to try and raise money now. We're not in an election
cycle." Kennedy also "returned $13,000 in donations made to his
campaign committee by executives of a failed Florida thrift."
Kennedy spokesperson Paul Donovan: "It is our policy to refund
contributions whenever such a question is raised" (HERALD, 8/12).
U.S. NEWS' Charles Fenyvesi writes the decision to delay Willie
Smith's rape trial is "bad for uncle Ted." Kennedy's "associates
worry that a winter trial -- which will be televised live -- will
receive even more attention than one that would have taken place
this summer. They do not relish the journalistic feeding frenzy
that will greet the senator's likely appearance on the witness
stand" ("Washington Whispers," 8/19 issue).
*12 NEVADA: REID -- HOPING TO THWART CHALLENGE?
Carson City NEVADA APPEAL editorial: "It seems the silly
Senate season has started early with a nervous incumbent" -- Sen.
Harry Reid (D) -- "doing all he can to intimidate potential
challengers, while a group of elephants desperately searches for
a herd-leader to stomp" on him. Reid recently sent out a news
release "about having broken" all NV $-raising records by
"siphoning" $2M from "special interests." It also touted Reid as
the 1st Senate Dem to "support going to war against Saddam
Hussein." State the paper, "We know bragging about building
campaign coffers isn't intended for voters disgusted by election
financing.
Could it be intended for potential GOP
challengers? Could it be a not-so-subtle message: 'I have lots
of money
... Don't run against me'?" (8/9).
THAT'S "MRS. PRESIDENT" TO YOU: Speaking before the
Northern NV Woman '91 Conference, Reid predicted "a woman will
soon be elected president and the days of sexism are numbered"
(L.V. SUN, 8/9). Reid: "The time is coming and I think soon,
when a serious child will read about the inequities of the past
and will run into the Oval Office in the White House and look up
at the president and ask, 'Why did they do it? Why, mom?'"
Women's groups have praised Reid for his efforts on women's
health, but some have criticized his conservative stance on
abortion (DAILY SPARKS TRIBUNE, 8/9).
*13 NEW YORK: PREMATURE EXUBERATION?
In a cover editorial on Sen. Al D'Amato's commercial that
touts the decision by the Sen. Ethics Cmte (D'Amato: "Finally
it's over. The Senate Ethics Committee concluded I did nothing
wrong"), NEWSDAY says, "Truth in advertising is required here.
It's not over.
the committee didn't clear him," what it said,
in some cases, was it "has no jurisdiction.
Exoneration
this
isn't.
Yet D'Amato whizzes around the state in what gleeful
aides have dubbed a 'triumphal tour.'
...
The public should not
be hoodwinked: D'Amato's ethical problems didn't start with the
current investigations. His entire career has been marked by
them and by an unseemly pattern of denial.
...
By his actions, he
has already shamed himself and diminished the Empire State"
(8/11). NEWSDAY's Sydney Schanberg writes, "Even though he's a
national embarrassment, you've got to admit" D'Amato "has
singlehandedly revived the art of satire. When Al gets up on
stage and starts ticking off all the things he didn't know about
with regard to the corruption that swirls constantly around him
but somehow never comes to his attention, people's sides burst
from laughing.' D'Amato "entertained" the Ethics Cmte for four
days of testimony, getting off "more I-don't-knows than Reagan's
I-don't-recalls in his Iran-Contra testimony" (8/9). While GOP
media man Roger Ailes "went so far as to declare" the Cmte's
decision made D'Amato "unbeatable," other analysts say D'Amato
will have "a long fight back." GOP consultant John Buckley: "He
would have had a tough race even if the committee came out and
blessed him as Mother Theresa." Dem consultant David Garth: "I
think he should be grateful, subdued, instead of shouting from
the rooftop, 'I'm perfect, I'm perfect." And POLITICAL REPORT's
Stuart Rothenberg said the Cmte's "ruling did not change his
assessment" of D'Amato as "highly vulnerable" (Kim Mills, AP,
8/12). D'Amato wrote a letter to the N.Y. TIMES criticizing a
7/25 editorial that criticized his amendments to the crime bill
(8/12).
CHALLENGER NEWS: Ex-Rep. Geraldine Ferarro (D) was a guest
speaker at the ABA convention in GA, where she was honored as an
"outstanding" female lawyer (ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, 8/12).
*14 NORTH CAROLINA: FAIRCLOTH HITS THE WAVES
"[N]ine months before GOP voters choose their nominee,"
Lauch Faircloth began airing the first TV spot of the '92
election (Christensen, Raleigh NEWS & OBSERVER). The 30-second
spot shows Faircloth at work on his cattle farm and will air
statewide. Faircloth, a "lifetime" Dem and unsuccessful '84 gov.
contender, switched to the GOP 2/91: "Everybody else in this
campaign has held elective office. I haven't. Consequently, I
felt I needed to get out there and level the playing field a
little bit.' A Mason-Dixon poll, conducted last month, showed
only 6% of the GOP voters preferred Faircloth (see HOTLINE 7/30).
Although he is "an unknown quantity" to many NC GOPers, Faircloth
is supported by Sen. Jesse Helms' (R) Congressional Club. Ex-
Rep. Gene Johnston is the only other announced candidate for the
GOP primary. Other GOPers "considering": ex-Rep. William Cobey;
Charlotte Mayor Sue Myrick and ex-Superior court judge/ex-Gov.
candidate Beverly Lake Jr. In a recent $-raising mailer,
Faircloth said he "plans to attack" Sanford for his vote
"against" use of force in the Gulf, his support for $40B in
foreign aid, "his support for 'Ted Kennedy's civil rights quota
bill,' and his record as a big spender" (8/12).
TOUGH JOBS UPDATE: More reax to Sanford's chairing of the
Sen. Ethics Cmte. and the October Surprise investigation (see
HOTLINE 8/7): GOP consultant Eddie Mahe: "I can't imagine what
possessed him to do it. It's pure dumb.
...
It raises in one's
mind whether he plans to seek re-election." But Sanford "said
I don't think you avoid duty because you have an election
coming." Ex-Rep./JFK assassination investigation chair
Richardson Preyer, on Oct. Surprise: "If it turns out there is
something substantive
...
Terry could come out the way [ex-Sen.
Sam Ervin] did with Watergate -- a national hero. " This has
"helped feed rumors" Sanford will retire. If so, '90 Sen.
candidate Harvey Gantt (D) "has indicated that he would be
interested in running" (Christensen, N&O, 8/13).
*15 OKLAHOMA: "WALTERS' VENTURE TO COST STATE FIRMS MILLIONS"
"Hundreds of Oklahoma businesses in a workers compensation
group once run by Gov. David Walters [D] soon will be billed"
more than $2.3M "to cover deficits partially created by high
administrative fees paid to Walters and key campaign
contributors" (Ellis, SUNDAY OKLAHOMAN). 900 current and past
members will be billed "to cover part of a massive deficit
accumulated over three years." Walters was the original
administrator of the workers comp. organization and a sister
business association. Walters contributors in question include:
Walters co-administrator and successor as administrator for the 2
groups Chris Sturm contributed $4,200; Marketing president for
the group Thomas Rumfelt contributed $5K; the groups' claims
processor president C.A. Towne contributed $3K; the groups'
auditor principal/Walters campaign treasurer Sam Cole contributed
$5K. The two sister self-insurance groups under fire "have drawn
sharp rebukes from court officials for engaging in self-dealing,
putting ut what officials said was misleading advertising and
charging high overhead expenses." OK City fruit and vegetable
distributor office manager Retta Casey: "I think it is pathetic.
And I just found out recently that Mr. Walters was involved
in it and that's even more pathetic. I just find it very odd
considering all the other things that we're finding out ...
he's
got his little finger in the pie.
...
I came back and told the
owner.
And she says, 'No.
That's where all our stinking
money is. Walters' company, David Walters Investments Inc., is
being charged over $2K "to pay it's share of the deficit for its
time in the group. Court insurance dir. Jerry Whorton said
although Walters' company may not have legal responsibility to
pay the assessment because he sold the company's assets, Walters
"might want to go ahead and pay
...
since the political
ramifications could be immense." Ex-court administrator Michael
Clingman, a friend of Walters, is under sharp criticism "for not
closing down the groups last summer when their financial problems
became apparent. Critics say Clingman put businesses and their
employees at risk to avoid political embarrassment to Walters
during the campaign." Clingman, given a job as state insurance
fund commis. after the campaign, has denied political motivation
(8/11).
LEWIS SCRUTINIZES NICKLES RECORD: Ex-House Speaker/'90 Gov.
loser Steve Lewis (D) said he will campaign against Sen. Don
Nickles (R) "even in the Democratic primary" (Craig Fuqua,
STILLWATER NEWS PRESS). Lewis' "main message was that Nickles
has not accomplished much since he was first elected to the
Senate" in '80. He "said Nickles does not have any ideas
...
votes against ideas others bring forward" and "belongs to the
philosophy that government is the problem." State Sen. Darryl
Roberts (D) is considering a run as well (8/9).
*16 TENNESSEE: GOP CHAIR SAYS GOV "FISHING" FOR GOODS ON LAMAR
TN GOP chair Tommy Hopper "accused" the administration of
Gov. Ned Ray McWherter (D) "of going on 'a fishing expedition' to
reel in charges of financial misconduct" surrounding US Ed. Sec.
/ex-Univ. of TN pres./ex-Gov. Lamar Alexander (R). Hopper: "It
is apparent to me that instead of offering the people ... some
explanation for the budget crisis in the state, the blatant
nepotism practiced by this administration and the apparent
inability to manage the state, there is an effort under way to
discredit
anybody
...
to take the attention off of Governor
McWherter. McWherter spokesperson Ken Renner replied, "No one
really pays much attention to Mr. Hopper
most people
...
recognize there has been a number of incidents recently where
[UT] has run into trouble. It is those concerns that have
motivated a review of the university's activities." The
"controversy
... erupted last week when the administration
discovered a mountain inn that Alexander's wife owned a one-third
interest in received nearly $65,000 in business from UT during
his tenure there." At his own expense, Alexander flew to
Nashville 8/10 and spent 90 minutes with reporters (see HOTLINES
8/9, 8/12). There he said he was "puzzled" by the issue, adding
it was "old news" (NASHVILLE BANNER, 8/12). Also, the BANNER
(8/10) and NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN (8/12) report on a UT athletic
dept. deal with the consulting firm of Tom Ingram, who earlier
served then-Gov. Alexander as chief of staff. The unwritten
agreement was in the form of retainer, not a direct contract;
The Ingram Group was paid $36,000 over 2 years by Host
Communications, which did have a direct contract with the UT
athletic dept. TN Finance Commis. David Manning "has called the
hiring and billing arrangements between the fall of 1989 and July
1991 'highly irregular' and 'inappropriate' following a review of
the practice" (TENNESSEAN, 8/13). Ingram, now with Knoxville-
based Whittle Communications, said his firm "worked with them to
provide public relations, counsel and other strategic services"
(8/9). "If someone is suggesting we had a contract to work for
Lamar, they're crazy" (8/12). TENNESSEAN editorial headline:
"Alexander must open his financial records." The paper says,
"The questions dogging Alexander are hurting UT, hurting the
state, and hurting the Department of Education. And the only way
for the hurting to stop is for Alexander to make full disclosure
of every single one of his and his family's financial dealings.
If there is nothing to hide, then hide nothing" (8/13).
*17 WISCONSIN: FEINGOLD AIDE DISPUTES MOODY'S WAR CHEST
"Despite a pledge between" state Sen. Russ Feingold (D) and
Rep. Jim Moody (D-05) "that they would not indulge in personal
campaign attacks during their campaigns" to unseat Sen. Bob
Kasten (R), Moody aide Marcus Kunian "angrily denounced Feingold"
8/7 (John Hunter, Madison CAPITAL TIMES). Kunian "said there is
a 'pattern of misrepresentation and a sleazy attempt at getting
false negative charges against Moody into print.
...
Moody's
camp is riled up over claims by Feingold aide Robert Decheine
that Moody has transferred $185,000 from his bank account to his
campaign treasury, boosting the cash total to $571,964 in order
to give the inflated impression that he is getting a lot of
support" (8/8) Decheine: "They were plugging along and by the
middle of June they realized they weren't anywhere near where thy
had to be
so they did everything they could to look like they
were way ahead of us. The word that keeps popping into my mind
is panic. Kunian refuted the charges, saying the purpose of the
personal loan is "sending a signal
...
in terms of his commitment
to the race. " MILWAUKEE JOURNAL's Craig Gilbert notes, "While
the Feingold camp claims Moody's fund-raising is lagging,
Feingold's modest $112,000 war chest indicates he still has to
prove his own ability to raise money. If Kasten, who had $1.3M in
the bank at mid-year, is expected to raise and spend $5M or more.
Likely contender businessman Joe Checota (D) didn't file a report
and has not yet formed a campaign cmte (8/8).
CAMPAIGNS '91
*18 PENNSYLVANIA SENATE: WILL KS KO THORNBURGH?
AG Dick Thornburgh (R), "conceding that he made his 'share
of mistakes'
vigorously defended his three years" at the DoJ
in an interview with the PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE, "saying that he
tried to make the office 'more professional and less political."
He listed his chief accomplishments: "sharply increasing the
[DoJ's] budget, hiring additional prosecutors, more aggressively
investigating white-collar crime, and more vigorously enforcing
the nation's anti-trust laws." On the 1989 leak that House Maj.
Whip Wm Gray (D-02) was being investigated: "I went ballistic
and made a bigger deal out of it than I probably should have. He
also "insisted" he has "a strong commitment to civil rights" and
that Judge Patrick Kelly in KS "acted erroneously" and that they
"have a right in court -- not on national TV -- to take issue
with that Judge" (Jack Torry, 8/13). Thornburgh's "mixed record"
as AG will be "a major focus" of Sen. Harris Wofford's (D)
campaign. Wofford manager Paul Begala termed the Wichita case
"an example of how he has moved to the extreme right wing."
Wofford "has tried to stake out a middle ground on abortion,
supporting a [PA] law that requires a 24-hour waiting period,
notification of spouses and other restrictions now being
considered in the courts.
The raging controversy over
abortion is expected to follow" Thornburgh from the DoJ "to the
campaign trail." NOW's Patricia Ireland: "If Dick Thornburgh
thinks this is going to help him in his race
he has badly
miscalculated" (Rowley, AP, 8/10).
EDITORIALS: PHILA. DAILY NEWS: "True to form, he plays to
the mob
It is a frightening example of just how much our
rights depend on the character and principles of those who are
supposed to enforce the law. And just how little character and
principle Dick Thornburgh would bring to the Senate" (8/12).
PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE: "The [DoJ] undermined the respect for
the federal courts that any [AG] should attempt to foster,
especially at a time of civil unrest
On this one, we submit,
[Thornburgh] lost his balance" (8/12) BOSTON GLOBE: "[His] bias
in the Wichita case
should be held in contempt" (8/12)
MIAMI HERALD: "Thornburgh's resignation
is as welcome as it
is overdue" (8/12). WASH. POST: "The [DoJ's] splashy and
unnecessary intervention in his final days on the side of
antiabortion demonstrators and against a federal judge in Wichita
marked an unhappy end to his tenure. We
persist in thinking
[he] had much more to offer in government than he gave" (8/13).
PUTTING THEIR TWO CENTS IN: Neither Thornburgh nor Wofford
"should look for immediate financial assistance" from state
parties, because mid-year FEC reports show state party "coffers
for the Senate race are nearly empty." Although most estimates
suggest each candidate will need $4-$5M to run their campaigns,
the GOP reported $31,738 on hand, while the Dems reported
$438.92. At the end of June, Wofford had raised $325,830.
Thornburgh hasn't started $-raising (Harrisburg PATRIOT-NEWS,
8/11).
POT SHOTS: PA's League of Women Voters will sponsor two
debates. They already invited Wofford and will invite Thornburgh
as soon as his candidacy is official. Wofford urged Thornburgh
to accept (PATRIOT-NEWS, 8/11).
FILLING THORNY SHOES: MIAMI HERALD headline: "Wanted:
Attorney General: But not a 'Thornburgh'' (8/12) The JOURNAL
OF COMMERCE reports Thornburgh's resignation has "rekindled
speculation that" Sec/Trans. Sam Skinner "will be tapped" for the
post. But Skinner, who is "rumored to be in line for" the WH CoS
job should John Sununu step down, "is said to want to remain at
DOT through the end of President Bush's first term." US Trade
Rep. Carla Hills "insisted
she's happy where she is, as
"leaving her trade post now could set back international trade
negotiations" at the GATT (8/12).

ANTI-DUKE COALITION GEARS UP: While many opponents of state
Rep. David Duke (R) "felt it was best to simply to ignore him"
when he was elected to the Legislature, the Louisiana Coalition
Against Racism and Nazism "argued that morally they could not
remain silent." The coalition, led by Lance Hill, was first
formed to oppose Duke's bid for the U.S. Senate. In '90 they
raised nearly $500K, "more than any other" PAC in the state, "and
were credited with providing information to the media that
indicated Duke still held Jews and blacks in contempt." Plans to
gear up for the Gov. race "renewed debate over whether its
attacks hurt or help him. " GOP chair Wm. Nungesser: "In an
effort to stop him, you might give him the publicity he hasn't
been able to get this year. You don't give your opponents free
publicity.' Duke "said he benefits from the media coverage the
coalition generates": "They will focus more attention on my
candidacy and will make clear the delineation between my
conservatism and the NAACP membership of Gov. Roemer and Edwin
Edwards." Hill "said that while he does not want to give Duke
undue publicity, if the group doesn't speak out the public will
only hear Duke's view of an issue. " Hill "said that simply
portraying Duke as a Nazi and Klansman is no longer effective
because voters have already made up their minds whether this
matters. The new strategy will attempt to take recent statements
Duke has made or policies he favors and try to show that hey are
consistent with the more openly racist or anti-Semitic policies
he used to advocate" (Tyler Bridges, N.O. TIMES PICAYUNE, 8/12).
*20 KENTUCKY GOVERNOR: FRIENDS OF HOPKINS
Dan Quayle, "a national workhorse for the [GOP], performed
four basic tasks for" Rep. Larry Hopkins (R-06) He raised about
$100K at a $-raising breakfast where he said Hopkins' election
"would be a step toward Bush carrying the state next year"; "He
pressed the flesh" at an unannounced restaurant stop; "He bashed
national Democrats and otherwise sent a message of party unity in
the heart of the heavily Republican" 5th CD "where GOP solidarity
is essential to Hopkins"; "And he offered independent-minded
Democrats a reason to forsake their party in the Nov. 5 election,
suggesting that a Hopkins could get Kentucky more help from the
Bush Administration than could" LG Brerton Jones (D) "Larry
Hopkins can get ahold of me or President George Bush any time
that he wants. Kentucky will only be a phone call away. Rep.
Hal Rogers (R-05) at the breakfast $-raiser: "Our party's come
together. I can feel the rumblings in my district. I can feel
the surge beginning" (Al Cross, Louisville COURIER-JOURNAL,
8/13). Nancy Sununu, wife of WH CoS John Sununu was "the first
of several Washington figures who will make appearances for"
Hopkins She "was the featured attraction [8/9] at a fund-raiser
for the entire [GOP] ticket" -- a "$100-per-person reception."
Min. Whip Newt Gengrich (R-GA) "will speak at a fund-raiser
later this month." Bush "is expected" in Oct. and other cabinet
visitors will be Labor Sec. Lynn Martin, Veteran's Affairs Sec.
Edward Derwinski, Ag. Sec. Edward Madigan, Interior Sec. Manuel
Lujan and HUD Sec. Jack Kemp (Cross, C-J, 8/10).
INCONSISTENCY ON THE OTHER SIDE: Jones "may be changing his
plan to have business people oversee state economic-development
programs." In a 8/5 debate, Jones said "he wants representatives
of business groups to nominate two or three candidates ...
for
appointment by the governor" but his "economic-development
platform" released "in late March" said "a board of business
representatives would hire the secretary, not make nominations to
the governor." Gov. appointment of the sec. "should please" Gov.
Wallace Wilkinson (D) "who said soon after the primary that he
would endorse Jones only he was assured that Jones wouldn't
weaken gubernatorial power." Jones spokesperson Diana Taylor
said "Jones' possible revision was unrelated to Wilkinson."
Hopkins: "You just can't go around appointing committees to make
the tough decisions for you. Some of them you have to make on
your own." Jones in response to Hopkins: "What I am proposing
is obviously something that
you're misunderstanding" (Cross,
C-J, 8/6).
TV MONITOR
*21 THIS MORNING: ABC's "GMA" interviewed Dem anaylst Bob
Beckel and S.F. EXAMINER's Chris Matthews on '92 Dems. NBC's
"Today" interviewed ex-hostage David Jacobsen. "CBS This
Morning" interviewed College Hill United Methodit Church's Rev.
George Gardner and West Link Christian Church's Rev. Gene Carlson
on the Wichita abortion protests. "FOX Morning News" interviewed
ex-NYC Mayor Ed Koch (8/13).
LAST NIGHT: ABC's Sam Donaldson: "There are plenty signs
tonight that backstage negotiations to end the hostage crisis are
under way. NBC's Faith Daniels: "Diplomacy is now center stage
in the hostage crisis." CNN's "Crossfire" hosted deputy Israeli
ambassador Michael Shiloh and CSIA's Shireen Hunter on the
hostage crisis. "Larry King Live" interviewed Elvis Presley's
cousin Earl Greenwood and Presley's stepbrother Rick Stanley.
ABC's "Nightline" interviewed EDF dir. Michael Oppenheimer,
climatologist David Rind and Harvard's Michaeal Guillen (8/12).
ABORTION IN THE COURTROOM: NBC's Carl Stern: "Today the
Justice Department sought to distance itself from the conduct of
the protesters." DoJ's John Roberts: "It's a very technical
legal argument about which court has jurisdiction to hear this
case." Stern: DoJ lawyers "refused even to meet with lawyers
for Operation Rescue who were seeking further help." CBS' Dan
Rather: "The focus of the long-running anti-abortion protest
...
shifted today from the abortion clinics to the courtroom." CBS'
Scott Pelley on the trial of 12 Operation Rescuers arrested 8/9:
"12 defendants
...
arrived in federal court this morning for what
many believed would be a showdown between Operation Rescue and
Judge Patrick Kelly.
...
This morning the courtroom was stunned
when prominent Operation Rescue figure Joseph Foreman was
released
...
Kelly called the incident a sad ordeal but ruled
that the marshals had stopped the priests before they could block
the clinic." Operation Rescue spokesman Rev. Pat Mahoney:
"Judge Kelly is the one who is intensifying this situation.
Judge Kelly is the one who is the problem" (8/12).
MERGER WAVE GOOD OR BAD?: CBS' Ray Brady on the merger of
Bank of America and Security Pacific, now the nation's second
largest bank: "Many analysts predict that the merger wave means
that today's 12,000 banks could end up as 50 to 60 mega-banks
down the road. Don't worry consumers, say the banks, there may
be fewer branches around -- they'll be closed to save money and
service will be better and your money will be safer. But some
experts see danger signs. 11 Nat'l Mortgage News' Stan Strachan:
"Banks will gain such a substantial share of market that they
will be able to simply to set prices.
...
simply because they'll
own certain market areas" (8/12).
TV SOUNDBITE
"We will protest in front of abortion clinics or in front of
those in front of abortion clinics. We will march in massive
demonstrations in Washington or in home towns. But will we ever
talk about the subject?"
-- Roger Rosenblatt, "MacNeil/Lehrer," PBS, 8/12.

Ten Billion Dollar U.S. Loan Guarantees for Israel: Your Marching Orders
For years, we've outdone ourselves tossing out hoops for Congress to jump through. We're proud to say that we've surpassed
even our own expectations with the $10 billion loan guarantec- the ultimate hoop- and the most exorbitantly risky and outrageous
proposition yet. Finally. our dream can become a reality. Here's how! First, we get some of our friends to believe, or at least pretend,
that these are really loans which Israel will really repay. Then, we convince them that this is purely "humanitarian aid" with no relation
whatsoever to the 40,000 new settlement units Israel announced last month. Finally, we hoodwink our friends into believing that
Israel will still come to the peace talks in October after Congress gives il the $10 billion in September. This might seem a bit much
to expect- but then what arc "friends" for?
Here are some of our winning arguments. You should study them.
Trust us, the money is for the immigrants:
Israel had originally budgeted $10 billion of Its own funds over the next five years for such essential activities as building
new settlements, maintaining thousands of defense forces in the West Bank and Gaza, and buying bulk supplies of rubber
bullets. When Israel found out the Sovid immigrants were coming, it had to revise its spending plans and reallocate most
of those funds to finance the massive rescillement. Now. with $10 billion from the U.S. dedicated to the absorption, Israel
has no need to disrupt its original plan.
The successful absorption of Soviet immigrants over the next five years is Israel's second highest priority. Israel's first priority
is figuring out how to continue getting handouts without having to give up à single inch of the "administered" territories.
Those "deep pockets" In the United States:
"Guaranteeing loans" for Israel, up to $2 billion a year for the next five years (we always say it this way so some people don't
realize it's $10 BILLION), is the best way wc think the United States can justify sending Israel lots of money and not have
too much to say about what Israel does with it. Guarantees are not grants- at this point, we can say truthfully that not one
penny of U.S. government funds will be transferred to Israel through these guarantees. Later, however, when it's clear that
Israel hasn't a snowball's chance in hell of paying them back, and that some U.S. banks are in danger of going belly-up, we
plan to lobby Congress either to have these "loan guarantees" converted to grants, or to just bail out the banks (something
Congress should be quite good at by then).
Many benefits for American
The U.S. will not need to figure out which critical domestic program- housing, job training, education- actually deserves
all or part of the $10 billion. One simple loan guarantee to Israel eliminates those tough decisions.
Ted Koppel will have something clse 10 talk about.
Our staff are so busy lobbying Congress and producing memoranda such as this that they don't have the time to keep track
of what members of Congress and the Senate we plan to target for removal in the next election.
Israel's ability to repay:
Israel has never defaulted on a loan, and maintains a highly favorable debt portfolio by international standards. This has
been a relatively easy feat, in that Israel only pays the interest on its loans, and as mentioned before, Congress manages 10
convert most of them to grants before any principal is actually due. In fact, AIPCA has bcen so successful in supporting
Israel's financial interests that we are now offering a $395 course at the Capital Hilton one weekend a month to borrower
nations that would like to learn our highly-proven techniques.

Dear Fred:
Thank you for your campaign planning memo.
I am disinclined to make any final organizational
decisions before Labor Day, but that thoughtful memo
was extraordinarily helpful to me.
I note what you say about the "conventional wisdom."
Things may or may not work out. that way, but one thing
I do know is that I want to have you intimately involved
in one way or another.
More later, but for now, many thanks for following
through in such a constructive way.
Sincerely,

Campaign Planning
CC
Thank you for including me in the Camp David meeting last Saturday. I felt the
discussions were productive and useful, and the key players had a good rapport and should
work well together in the campaign.
You invited follow-up comments. This note is not intended to be definitive or
inclusive but to underscore a few key points for your consideration.

Campaign Timing
The decision to begin organizing the Finance team now is the right one, as they do
need to get started in September. Their task is not daunting (i.e. the money will be there),
plane
but it will take time, effort, and organization.
The timing on the campaign organization is another matter. In my view, the
requirements in 1991 are modest. Other than fairly routine administrative and legal
chores, the most important task will be to identify and gain commitments from those
people we expect to chair the campaign in key states and to fill the key roles in the national
campaign organization. This should be done quietly with little or no public
Presidential Library Photocopy
announcements. Thus, for this Fall, it is hard to envision more than 7 or 8 people
operating out of a small suite of offices.
Given the above you could wait until October or even November to announce your
campaign team. However, it would be extremely helpful to make your decisions on
organization and quietly convey these decisions to the top players by around I abor Day. In
this way, they could begin arranging their personal commitments accordingly and could also
begin the planning process. If you were to follow this schedule, it may be necessary in the
interim to appoint a mid-level administrative person to begin working on office space;
communications, security, legal, and the like. This is similar to the approach you took on
the transition in naming Chase Untermeyer to undertake low visibility transition planning,
well in advance of your selection of heads of the transition team.
Campaign Organization
The "conventional wisdom" is that the campaign will be led by a combination of
Mosbacher, Teeter, and Malek. Mosbacher would be a general chairman, spending part
time on personal business and part time overseeing and consulting with the finance,
campaign, and RNC teams. Teeter and Malek would in effect run the campaign together
with Teeter the chief strategist and Malek the operator. Among others, Charlie Black
would serve as a senior consultant to the team, Roger Ailes would handle advertising, and
Bush Library Photocopy
George Bush Handwriting
Jim Lake would be a senior advisor on communications. I don't know if this represents
your thinking or not, but my feeling is that it would work fine, as would a number of other
configurations. A few points to consider:
-
Bob Mosbacher can make a contribution in the campaign or he can do so as
a continuing member of the Cabinet - he'd be an effective spokesman and
organizer of the business community in your support from either post. If you
select him for the general chairman role, I believe everyone else involved
would enjoy working with him.
-
Everyone understands the key role of the White House staff in the campaign
and the need to work closely with John Sununu. In effect it needs to be a
team effort and would include daily meetings between top campaign people
and John and members of his staff to coordinate campaign strategy, tactics,
and operations. If you select me to be involved, I personally welcome the
opportunity to work with John in this manner.
There will be considerable built in fragmentation to the campaign given
White House involvement, the RNC, and the need to coordinate closely with
the Finance Committee, the RNC, and the House and Senate Campaign
Committees. Therefore, it is important to avoid further fragmentation in the
campaign team by having all elements of the campaign (e.g. advertising, the
convention) responsible to the top campaign leadership and not operating
independently. Given your involvement and relationship with all the key
players, this need not cut off frequent direct contact, but some central
responsibility and authority is needed to coordinate and bring together the
entire effort in a hard hitting and cohesive manner.
All of the people at the Camp David meeting were smart and effective, but
most were inside the Beltway and Caucasian male. It will be helpful for the
campaign organization to recruit a number of top women and minorities and
to have a mix of "old-hand inside the beltway" types and new blood from key
states.
Near Term Priorities
The need to be more visibly involved in domestic issues over the coming months was
clearly articulated at Camp David. As we also discussed, the 1992 election will be far more
influenced by the state of the economy than anything else. Unfortunately, the state of the
economy is quite uncertain, a double dip back into recession is a distinct possibility, and
you are perceived as somewhat detached from the problem.
I am not predicting there will be a double dip - in fact the vast majority of
economists do not see this. However, the preponderance of anecdotal evidence from
business people all over the country suggest the recovery is not yet on track and a double
dip is enough of a probability to be dealt with. Thus, my argument is to prepare for the
worst by taking steps now to substantively and perceptually invigorate the recovery. Here
are a few suggested steps to start the process:
1.
Commit a large part of your personal time in September and October to
personally getting into the issue and developing your own firm convictions on
the depth of the problem and possible solutions.
- 2 -
2.
Start with some lengthy, substantive meetings with your economic team
(possibly including Alan Greenspan) to discuss and debate the issue and
frame such concerns as the credit crunch, auto industry, housing sluggishness,
etc.
3.
Supplement the above with another round of give and take sessions with
business and financial leaders from around the country. Include some
smaller company and bank heads. Engage in a true dialogue and ask not
only for a description of the problem but also their suggested solution.
4.
Define the problem to your own satisfaction and develop a series of actions
and public events to deal with the problem and the perception.
5.
Ensure that you have a schedule the next six months that highlights for the
American people your understanding of the economic realities, your empathy
for those not doing too well, and your hands on leadership to improve
economic vitality.
Campaign Tactics
It is premature to suggest strategy or themes, but here are a few selected points
related to issues discussed Saturday:
-
Your role should be strictly limited until the Convention. You can do far
more for the country and for your own re-election from the Presidency than
from the campaign trail. Further, an extremely active surrogate program is
envisioned to take on opponents as needed.
-
This should be a high road campaign all the way. You are the hero of the
Gulf War, the one leader who brought the nations of the World together to
defeat a bully, and you will be re-elected based on your unparalleled record
and character. You are above slapping opponents and don't need to.
Whatever needs to be done can be carried out by surrogates, but even this
should be held to a minimum. In my opinion, the American people are sick
of negative campaigning.
-
There should be an incredibly active surrogate program. Obviously, the Vice
President, Cabinet members, Senators, Congressmen, Governors, and family
members should be in the lead and on the road non-stop, articulating your
positions, defining the issues, and countering opponents. Cabinet wives, sub-
Cabinet officials, and some state legislators should also be part of the
program. An Assistant Secretary of HHS can't make news in Washington or
New York but can have considerable impact in Peoria.
Your great popularity provides a great opportunity to recruit hundreds of
thousands of volunteers in the states. This should be a high priority. Part of
this should be organizing at the national level and in each key state, active
committees representing groups such as farmers, veterans, older Americans,
young voters, Blacks, Hispanics, Italian-Americans, doctors, lawyers, etc.
3 -
Above and beyond all else there should be no talks of mandates or
landslides. Mandates don't mean anything (e.g. Johnson in '64 and Nixon in
'72 both won big). More importantly, over confidence is one of our biggest
threats. The 1992 campaign should be approached as if you are neck and
neck and in the fight of your life, and this should be the attitude of every
campaign worker. At the same time, of course, you and your organization
should do everything possible to support other candidates.
****
I hope some of the above thoughts are useful as you begin to approach your
discussions. I look forward to being of whatever assistance you wish of me.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
FREDERICK D. McCLURE RE7m
SUBJECT:
ANALYSIS OF KEY VOTES IN THE 102nd CONGRESS
This memorandum provides our most recent analysis of
Congressional support for your Administration's positions based
on what we consider to be the key votes cast in the first seven
months of the 102nd Congress. The votes selected were those
where a clear Presidential position was expressed on a particular
vote. House and Senate votes are analyzed separately.
Generally, this analysis shows that House and Senate Republicans
supported your position 86% of the time, while Democrats
supported your position about 20% of the time. Because of strong
Republican support and the votes of Democrats from southern
states, you have won nearly every major issue or have garnered
enough votes to show veto strength.
THE SENATE
Thirty-five key votes were selected for the Senate analysis.
Twenty votes dealt with budget and domestic policy issues while
15 dealt with foreign policy and national security issues.
(1) You enjoy continued strong support from Senate Republicans.
In the January to August period, the median Presidential support
level among Republicans was 86%. This is slightly higher than
the 82% level among Republicans in the 101st Congress.
Senators Dole, Domenici and Garn supported you 97% of the time,
followed by Senators McConnell, Symms and Gramm (95%). The
lowest Republican scores were by Senators Jeffords (45%) and
Hatfield (54%).
(2) The median Presidential support score for Democrats was 23%,
identical to Democrats' score in the 101st Congress.
Southern Democrats remain your strongest supporters. Senators
Heflin (70%), Shelby (66%), Breaux (63%), and Johnston (54%) had
the highest scores. Senators Harkin (03%) and Adams, Sasser,
Metzenbaum and Wellstone (09%) had the lowest scores. (Senator
Pryor's 0% score is the result of his not voting in the past four
months because of illness.)
- 2 -
(3) As a result of your strong support by Senate Republicans and
Southern Democrats, your position either prevailed outright or
received enough votes to indicate your veto could be sustained on
34 of the 35 votes. Your position prevailed on 23 votes of the
35 votes (you won 21 votes outright; on two votes you won the
issue in conference committee after proving veto strength in the
Senate). Your position lost on one vote (restoring funding for
the Administration's housing reform (HOPE) initiative). On the
remaining 11 votes your position did not receive a majority, but
sufficient votes were cast to indicate that a Presidential veto
could be sustained. The legislation associated with these 11
votes is still pending in Congress.
The House of Representatives
Twenty-one votes were selected for the House analysis. Of these
votes, 12 dealt with budget and domestic policy issues, while
nine dealt with foreign policy, national security and
international trade matters.
(1) House Republican support for your positions remained strong.
The median level of support among House Republicans for the
January to August time period was 86%, slightly more than your
level of support in the 101st Congress (83%). The number of
"strong" Republican supporters is at its highest point ever. For
example, 76 Republicans (almost half of all Republicans) had
Presidential support levels above 90%. This compares to 50
members with 90% or better support during 1989 and only 22 in
1990.
Twenty-five House Republicans voted with you 100% of the time,
including: Minority Leader Michel; Reps. Goss, Ireland, Shaw, and
Young (FL); Reps. Baker, McCrery, and Livingston (LA); Reps.
Archer, Armey, and Johnson (TX); Reps. Sundquist (TN), Hastert
(IL), and Lowery (CA).
As in previous analyses, Republicans with the lowest level of
Presidential support are clustered in the Northeast. Examples
include: Reps. Green and Gilman (NY), 33%; Reps. Morella
(MD), 40%; and Horton (NY), 43%.
(2) The median support level among House Democrats was 19%,
quite similar to the Democrats' 20% level in the 101st Congress.
So far this year 17 Democrats supported you more than 50% of the
time. This compares to only 10 Democrats in 1990 and 53
Democrats in 1989.
- 3 -
As in years past, the vast majority of your strong Democrat
supporters come from Southern states, including: Reps.
Montgomery (MS), 76%; Stenholm (TX), 76%; Huckaby (LA), 75%;
Hutto (FL), 66%; Hall (TX), 62%; Tauzin and Hayes (LA), 62%:
Parker (MS), 62%.
More than 20 Democrats had Presidential support levels of 0%.
Examples include Reps. Waxman, Miller and Boxer, (CA); Kennedy
and Studds (MA); Conyers (MI) and Smith (FL). Other Democrat
Members of interest include Gephardt (MO) and Bonior (MI) at 9%.
(3) Your position prevailed outright in seven of the 21 key
votes selected. Further, in all but one case (Pelosi China MFN
Resolution) on the 14 issues where your position did not prevail
outright, there were enough votes generated for your position to
sustain a veto when it was threatened.

POOL REPORT #13
THE BUSHES TAKE THORNBURGH TO DINNER
KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE
TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1991
President and Mrs. Bush took Attorney General Dick Thornburgh to
dinner at Mabel's Lobster Claw Restaurant on Ocean Avenue. The
president wore a blue shirt, tan pants and a red, white and blue
windbreaker adorned with an American flag and the words "I'm
proud to be an American" on the back. Mabel, the owner, greeted
the group as they arrived. Bush pointed to Thornburgh and said:
"Star guest." Inside, they were joined at the table by White
House photographer David Valdez and the nurse from the White
House medical unit that accompanied the motorcade. They stayed at
the restaurant from about 7:25 p.m. until shortly before 9 p.m.
(Your pool, alas, cannot relay the president's menu as we dined
across the street.)
A large crowd gathered outside the restaurant and applauded as
the Bushes and Thornburgh left. Thornburgh flashed thumbs up to
your pool. Asked if he expected a tough race for the Senate,
Thornburgh said: "Always tough in Pennsylvania."
As the motorcade left Walker's Point to head for the restaurant,
a large sedan stopped at the end of the driveway to let the tail
end of the 'cade--the two press vans, the ambulance and the tail
car--go by. At the wheel was Chief of Staff John H. Sununu in
shirtsleeves. He fell in behind the tail car and disappeared into
the night.

POOL REPORT #12
THE PRESIDENT FINISHES A QUIET ROUND OF GOLF
KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE
TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1991
The president did not speak to your pool as he finished his round
of golf with Cape Arundel Golf Club pro Ken Raynor, son George W.
Bush and Bush pal Greg Stapleton. Unofficial elapsed time: 2
hours, one minute.
The press office advises that Bush plans to take Attorney General
Dick Thornburgh out on Fidelity at 5:30 this afternoon and plans
to go out for dinner tonight.
BEFORE TEEING OFF, the president had some additional comments not
reflected in the transcript. There was some chatter about
fishing. "It's been good this summer," he said, and expressed his
preference for lures that float on the surface. "Isn't that fun
when they explode and hit it?" he enthused. He also expressed
amazement at Darryl Heickes' catch in the waters just off the
Shawmut.
Told that Clarence Thomas had been endorsed today by a group,
whose identity is not known to your pool, Bush said: "He should
be endorsed by a wide array of groups He'll make a superb
justice."
Asked if he would endorse Thornburgh in Pittsburgh Wednesday,
Bush said: "I expect to say good things about him today, tomorrow
or any other day He's been superb. I'll be wishing him well in
what lies ahead."

PRESIDENT PLAYS GOLF -- AGAIN
KENNEBUNKPORT, MAINE
TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1991
Before teeing off, the President spoke to your pool by the

Highlights: He said he spoke with UN Secretary General Javier

everything he is trying to do." Asked if that included
negotiating, the President said, "He's free to do whatever he

what he is trying to do." The President also voiced his support
for Supreme Court-nominee Clarence Thomas and outgoing Attorney
General Dick Thornburgh.

shoe golf shoes.
Tee-off time was shortly after 1:25 p.m.
