FROM THE PRESIDENT
EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
PARIS
THE AMBASSADOR
March 2, 1992
Dear Mr. President:
I would like to take the liberty of returning to an issue which
I wrote to you about last spring: the cost and behavior of
very high-level delegations abroad.
The question rushed back to my mind as a result of the visit of
the Vice President's party to the Winter Olympics here -- a
visit which coincided with the arrival of Doro and Nancy as the
backbone of a low-key and very effective Presidential
delegation.
The Presidential delegation was a great hit. They brought a
warm personal touch, and I thank you for sending them to
France. I also thank you for sending the Vice President who
was very well received and regarded. It did not go unnoticed
here that you asked members of your own family and the second
highest ranking American official to represent you at the
opening of the Olympics.
I feel compelled to add, however, that the Presidential
delegation's modest approach was initially overwhelmed by the
one-day passage of the Vice President's team. President
Mitterrand went to Albertville in one helicopter. Fourteen
helicopters were moved to Lyon for the Vice Presidential party,
and his delegation arrived in the confined Olympic area with 5
of them. The Vice President's helicopter support staff alone
numbered about 80 people. Frankly, it was more like
"Apocalypse Now" than a suitable showing of the flag at a world
sporting event, and the Vice President, himself was not
well-served by this swollen entourage.
While I recognize the special logistical challenges that flowed
from visiting these particular Olympics, I am bothered because
the U.S. approach often appeared to the French and others to be
more concerned with a U.S. domestic agenda than a gesture of
support to the Olympics and France: It was seen as a display
of unnecessary muscle in a world where we are perceived, with
some apprehension, as the only remaining superpower.
The Honorable
George Bush
President of the United States of America
The White House
-2-
Perhaps you saw on TV or read in the papers that a number of
French officials felt mistreated by the actions of some of
those accompanying or involved with the Vice President's
delegation. The American visitors frequently appeared
insensitive, and I am afraid we were. There is also no doubt
in my mind that the resulting resentments run deep.
In addition, the financial cost was considerable at a time when
we at Embassy Paris are being urged constantly to contain costs
and even ordered to close important consular outposts. We had
to provide a support staff of 40 from the Embassy to Lyon in
the two weeks prior to and during the Vice President's
arrival. Fifty vehicles were hired for the visit.
For example, the Embassy paid these direct expenses:
Hotel Rooms
$207,000
Per Diem
$180,000
Vehicle Rentals
$105,000
Communications,
$ 35,000
equipment and
supplies
TOTAL:
$527,000
I have no way of judging the applicable amounts spent on
salaries, fuel bills, etc., that do not pass through the
Embassy. It all adds up to a whopping sum.
What I do know is that there seems to be little regard, during
such high-level visits, for the cost of preparing for every
conceivable option. Cost is a consideration which we almost
never hear mentioned. At the same time, I recall that you, as
Vice President, were able to travel effectively with smaller
groups, much less pre-advance work and less redundancy.
I could make a few suggestions:
-- The U.S. should strive to have the smallest possible
traveling parties, depending on the nature of the events along
the way. To the extent possible, our representatives should
be sensitive to the way we conduct ourselves compared with
other world leaders: For example again, Mitterrand took 10
people to the Olympics in Albertville; the average VIP
delegation, including several reigning monarchs and leading
members of royal families, had 5 persons in their advance or
support teams; our traveling party and support staff at the
Olympics involved 252 people.
-3-
-- Despite the pressure of regulation and custom, we should
look particularly hard at whether the size of Secret Service
details can be cut. Also, a gimlet eye should focus on how
essential to the mission are some of the official staff members.
-- In planning a visit, costs should be a key consideration.
-- The role of the pre-advance team should be examined. They
rarely seem to decide anything and even more rarely do they
appear to communicate with the advance team that follows.
Embassies and local authorities do not suffer this redundancy
gladly.
-- Embassies themselves should be given more responsibility for
working out innovative but sensible programs in advance. They
should be charged with taking fully into account the needs of
the traveling party, the situation on the ground and the
sensibilities of the host country. We simply must cut down on
the flailing about that comes from demanding that every
possible option be considered and then staffing up for it in
case a last minute decision is made to go ahead.
Mr. President, I had thought things were going better on this
score -- and they were. Certainly your brief visit to
Rambouillet last July 14 was a model of streamlined planning
and staffing. I write you again now because some quarters at
home have already forgotten the very positive results of your
efforts of a year ago.
What really bothers me, in the present instance, is that as a
nation we expended considerable treasure in the past month with
the intention of being represented in the best possible way at
an event watched by hundreds of millions around the globe.
What was the upshot? A $1,000,000 photo-op? We should be
sobered by it. In France, at any rate, we Americans left a
large number of our best friends with the feeling that we do
not know how to put our best foot forward -- or that we have
put our feet on their toes.
Despite all the pressures that I know you must cope with, I
hope that you can continue to have your people pursue this
issue in the conviction that to do SO will be worth it in the
end.
Thanks very much for your interest and help in this matter.
With warmest wishes and respect,
Yours ever,
Water

"Must Carry" Provisions in S.12
CAN
What is "Must Carry"?
3-10
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted a policy
known as "must carry" in the mid-1960s that required a local
cable system to carry the broadcast television signals serving
that system's local community. This policy was adopted to ensure
that smaller, local broadcasters enjoyed the same access to local
cable systems as did the national broadcasters. For example, in
most communities, cable systems were required under the "must
carry" rule to carry the signals of local affiliates of national
broadcasters (such as ABC, NBC, CBS) as well as unaffiliated
local broadcasters (such as educational programming).
What is the Legal Status of "Must Carry"?
The D.C. Court of Appeals has twice found "must carry"
unconstitutional on First Amendment (freedom of speech) grounds.
As a result, no "must carry" rule is now in force.
What Does the Senate-Passed Cable Bill (S.12) Contain Regarding
"Must Carry"?
Local cable systems must carry those local broadcasters
located within 50 miles of a relevant cable system's central
station or negotiate financial arrangements with local
broadcast stations for the right to retransmit their
signals. The provision was added to ensure that local
programmers have access to local cable systems.
If a cable system has 13 or more channels, it must devote
one-third of its available channels to carriage of
"qualified" local broadcast stations. This provision limits
the number of channels the cable operator must make
available for the rebroadcast of local broadcasting
stations.
Cable systems generally may not accept payment for carriage
of "must carry" stations. This provision is intended to
protect broadcasters from having to pay cable systems for
retransmission of their signals.

FROM THE PRESIDENT
CABLE TELEVISION LEGISLATION
Congress is working on legislation to amend the Cable Television
Act of 1984 to reregulate the cable television industry. Although
there are differences between the House and Senate versions both
bills are highly regulatory, violate the First Amendment, intrude
into routine commercial transactions, and do not promote
competition.
SENATE BILL
The Senate bill, S. 12 (sponsored by Senator Danforth and 9
others), passed on January 30 by a 73-18 vote. A less regulatory,
more procompetitive alternative sponsored by Senators Packwood,
Stevens, and Kerry (supported by the Administration) was defeated
54-35.
The Administration issued a veto threat on S. 12 because it would:
Mandate regulation of rates charged by virtually all cable
systems in the U.S. Only those few systems with at least two
multichannel programmers present would not be regulated.
Require, in violation of the First Amendment, that cable
operators "must carry" the signal of local television stations
whether or not the operator believed those signals reflected
the desires of the subscribers. Alternatively, broadcasters
could choose to negotiate with cable operators for the right
to rebroadcast their signals for consideration
("retransmission consent").
Interfere in routine business transactions by requiring cable
operators who produce programming to make that programming
available to their competitors.
Direct the Federal Communications Commission to establish
rules limiting the number of subscribers a cable operator
could serve nationwide.
Do nothing to increase competitiveness in the cable industry.
The Administration wanted legislation that would remove the
current prohibitions against telephone companies providing
video programming.
HOUSE BILL
The House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Finance has its
own cable bill, H.R. 1303 which is sponsored by Representatives
Markey and Dingell. The major provisions of that bill are similar
to S. 12. The House Subcommitee is expected to take up the bill
mid to late March.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
Holding Congress Accountable. Considering the ire of the taxpaying public,
it is remarkable that the U.S. Congress continues to escape accountability for its
monumental mismanagement of the nation's banking system. With the help of a
compliant press, Congress for years has avoided responsibility for its considerable
complicity in the multi-hundred billion dollar savings and loan disaster. By
diverting attention to the Keating Five, Neil Bush and other convenient
scapegoats, the legislative policy blunders that produced the thrift fiasco simply
have escaped public scrutiny. No one has been found at fault; no member of the
House or Senate has been unseated for the legislative role he or she played in the
debacle.
The same holds true with respect to banking legislation. Although most
Americans are now keenly aware that the nation's banking system is no longer
sound, and that its potential cost could be far more devastating than that of the
S&Ls, little heed was paid by the public last year - or since - when Congress
rejected the Administration's comprehensive reform proposals and proceeded
instead to adopt the most regressive piece of banking legislation in recent
decades.
What can explain this seeming indifference on the part of a public that already
has been burned once?
One reason, to start with, is that modern day banking and the complexities of
bank regulation are as much a mystery to the American electorate as they are to
most members of Congress.
Most people simply are unaware of the monumental changes that in recent years
have transformed the delivery of financial services in the United States and
throughout the world. They also are largely unaware that because of Congress'
failure to re-vamp restrictive banking regulations that date back to the Great
Depression, the core business of banking has shifted dramatically to a host of
non-bank financial and commercial conglomerates, leaving our banks less
efficient, less capable of serving the needs of their customers and the nation's

Another reason for public indifference is that for many the idea of bank reform
suggests there may be something in it for bankers, a group most people have no
particular interest in seeing benefitted. Congressional debate promotes this
misconception, even to the point of permitting it to determine the direction of
public policy. We saw this last year when House Speaker Foley was faced with a
choice of backing comprehensive bank reform proposals approved by the House
Banking Committee or supporting a so-called "compromise" drafted by
Commerce Committee Chairman Dingell. The Banking Committee version,
essentially the same as the pro-competitive reform package advanced by the
Bush Administration, sought reform through increased reliance on market forces
and market discipline. The Dingell approach relied instead on a pervasive new
regulatory structure to re-define permissible banking activities, not so
incidentally protecting non-bank financial service competitors from bank
competition in the process.
Foley supported Dingell, thus killing any hope for comprehensive reform in the
current Congress. He supported him not to balance the public policy
requirements of safety and soundness with the challenges of competition, but
simply for the political advantage that would come from playing one special
interest against another, protectionist against pro-competitive, even if the
result was legislative gridlock.
One reason, then, that Congress has not faced up to a domestic bank crisis that
could dwarf the savings and loan disaster is that presently there simply are no
compelling political imperatives to do so. Indeed, with the financial services
industry divided among powerful, well-heeled participants accustomed to paying
handsomely for Congressional protection against competitive intrusion, the
political imperatives continue to support the status quo, just as they have for
more than 50 years.
But the cumulative effects of Congressional inaction, particularly during the
past decade of rapid change in technology and in the marketplace, are beginning
to produce a new set of political consequences and concerns that soon may
prompt a very different Congressional response.
By failing to address the archaic regulatory structure that for years has
prevented commercial banks from providing the same range of banking and
other financial services as competing foreign banks and domestic non-bank
competitors, Congress now finds itself confronted with a marketplace-imposed
restructuring which is producing record numbers of bank insolvencies that have
left the BIF exhausted.
Worse yet, having failed to address the fundamental flaws which have
bankrupted the deposit insurance system, Congress finds itself forced to choose
between gambling on direct government investment in failing banks and thrifts
through various early intervention schemes or accepting the consequence of
strict regulatory discipline — that is, massive hits on the Bank Insurance Fund
that may require another taxpayer bailout.
For want of public interest, Congress' short-term response will be to do little, if
anything. Interstate branching is the only element of structural reform that
Congress may be willing to consider in this election year. Deposit insurance,
the most volatile part of the whole equation, isn't even on the screen.

In the longer run, however, and probably not much longer, the nation will come
face to face with the unpleasant but unavoidable consequence of what happens
when a dangerously flawed banking system is backstopped by an insolvent
deposit insurance program that is nothing more than a taxpayer guaranty of all
bank deposits, regardless of their size. The losses, whether paid for by BIF or by
taxpayers or by both, are certain to be monumental in size, ongoing in duration,
pervasive in their impact on the economy, and very, very unpopular with voters.
That day is coming and on that day, if not before, Congress will be held
accountable.

decision was a very difficult one and a greatedeal of thought and

Our Bishop and our diocese have always expect that we

being very supportive of both of you, graciously gave us
permission to stay in the area until next January. This was

happen, making it apparent that we should return to Texas an
begin his ministry there.
If Doug and I were not dedicated to pursuing some of the

that I was completely jumping ship. But, knowing how you feel
about families and their impact on our country, I know you will
understand our excitement about beginning a ministry of working

MEMORANDUM FOR SHIRLEY GREEN
SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT FOR
PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGES AND CORRESPONDENCE
FROM:
NIKKI RICHNOW
Mr
DIRECTOR OF WHITE HOUSE GIFTS
SUBJECT:
Notice of Resignation
As you know, my husband will graduate from the Episcopal
seminary in May and it has been our expectation to return to the
diocese of Texas for placement in a church by our Bishop. As you
also know, Phil Brady asked if I would consider remaining on
staff until the end of the term in January.
Because of his support and loyalty to the President, Bishop
Benetiz agreed to allow us to remain in Virginia until January,
1993 with the stipulation that Doug find a church in which to
serve and be ordained.
Doug and I both agreed that the opportunity would need to be
a rich experience in order to justify his delayed placement in
Texas. We looked at many opportunities and churches. We
investigated the possibility of his beginning his Doctoral
studies. Unfortunately, nothing we looked at seemed quite right
-- making it apparent that, in spite of how very much we both
want to stay, it is time for us to return to Texas.
It is with great reluctance that I give you my resignation
as Director of White House Gifts effective the end of May, 1992.
I have enjoyed my job immensely -- making the decision to leave
very difficult. It has been such a pleasure to have you and Phil
Brady as superiors. Both of you have been examples of absolute
integrity and have shown me great consideration and support in
helping me carry out my duties. I will miss both of you very
much.
You will have my complete cooperation in working with the
new Director and you can have full confidence that I will do
everything I can to ensure an easy transition.

Dear Mr. President,
Nice going and congratulations about your comments
on the tax increase being a mistake. The sooner
this gets behind us, the sooner you and all of us
can regain the high ground and talk about the big
issues and opportunities that are ahead - and this
is what people want to hear you speak on ie,
education, environment, exports (where we continue
to have big successes), competitiveness, etc.
The tax issue has been a stone keeping us on the
defensive and you've fixed that!
By the way, I'll be sending over to Clayton and Sam
Skinner some information on our exports from some of
key states that hopefully will be helpful in putting
to rest some of the protectionist points of Buchanan

Don't bother to reply to this but what you did was

March 2,1992
Dear President and Mrs. Bush,
On Friday, February 21, your daughter captivated the hearts of
her audience. She and Ed Eckenhoff graciously accepted an invitation
to speak to the spouses of the American Academy of Orthopaedic
Surgeons who were meeting in Washington for its annual scientific
session. The entire group was about 25,000 strong and the spouse
component, of which I was chairman, had approximately 3000
attendees.
Doro and Ed's presentation was of particular interest to our
group because so many of us deal with rehabilitative medicine. Of
even greater interest was Doro's personal story. In a humble and
sincere manner she spoke of her experiences as first daughter, of
her deep appreciation of her country, and of her love of her parents.
There was not a dry eye in the audience. I write to you now to let
you know how moved we all were by her presence. I am the mother
of five children and could not have been more proud of Doro if she
were my own child. She was speaking from her heart. The entire
audience gave her a standing ovation.
It was a pleasure for us to have Doro as part of our program.
Congratulations Mom and Dad. You have done a great job. By
example, you show that the American family is alive and strong.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Congressman Don Sundquist called my office to convey
sentiments expressed in a meeting yesterday with a group
of about 25 House members supporting the Bush-Quayle

supportive of your remarks concerning the 1990 tax

EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
PARIS
THE AMBASSADOR
March 2, 1992
Dear Mr. President:
I would like to take the liberty of returning to an issue which
I wrote to you about last spring: the cost and behavior of
very high-level delegations abroad.
The question rushed back to my mind as a result of the visit of
the Vice President's party to the Winter Olympics here -- a
visit which coincided with the arrival of Doro and Nancy as the
backbone of a low-key and very effective Presidential
delegation.
The Presidential delegation was a great hit. They brought a
warm personal touch, and I thank you for sending them to
France. I also thank you for sending the Vice President who
was very well received and regarded. It did not go unnoticed
here that you asked members of your own family and the second
highest ranking American official to represent you at the
opening of the Olympics.
I feel compelled to add, however, that the Presidential
delegation's modest approach was initially overwhelmed by the
one-day passage of the Vice President's team. President
Mitterrand went to Albertville in one helicopter. Fourteen
helicopters were moved to Lyon for the Vice Presidential party,
and his delegation arrived in the confined Olympic area with 5
of them. The Vice President's helicopter support staff alone
numbered about 80 people. Frankly, it was more like
"Apocalypse Now" than a suitable showing of the flag at a world
sporting event, and the Vice President, himself was not
well-served by this swollen entourage.
While I recognize the special logistical challenges that flowed
from visiting these particular Olympics, I am bothered because
the U.S. approach often appeared to the French and others to be
more concerned with a U.S. domestic agenda than a gesture of
support to the Olympics and France: It was seen as a display
of unnecessary muscle in a world where we are perceived, with
some apprehension, as the only remaining superpower.
The Honorable
George Bush
President of the United States of America
The White House
-2-
Perhaps you saw on TV or read in the papers that a number of
French officials felt mistreated by the actions of some of
those accompanying or involved with the Vice President's
delegation. The American visitors frequently appeared
insensitive, and I am afraid we were. There is also no doubt
in my mind that the resulting resentments run deep.
In addition, the financial cost was considerable at a time when
we at Embassy Paris are being urged constantly to contain costs
and even ordered to close important consular outposts. We had
to provide a support staff of 40 from the Embassy to Lyon in
the two weeks prior to and during the Vice President's
arrival. Fifty vehicles were hired for the visit.
For example, the Embassy paid these direct expenses:
Hotel Rooms
$207,000
Per Diem
$180,000
Vehicle Rentals
$105,000
Communications,
$ 35,000
equipment and
supplies
TOTAL:
$527,000
I have no way of judging the applicable amounts spent on
salaries, fuel bills, etc., that do not pass through the
Embassy. It all adds up to a whopping sum.
What I do know is that there seems to be little regard, during
such high-level visits, for the cost of preparing for every
conceivable option. Cost is a consideration which we almost
never hear mentioned. At the same time, I recall that you, as
Vice President, were able to travel effectively with smaller
groups, much less pre-advance work and less redundancy.
I could make a few suggestions:
-- The U.S. should strive to have the smallest possible
traveling parties, depending on the nature of the events along
the way. To the extent possible, our representatives should
be sensitive to the way we conduct ourselves compared with
other world leaders: For example again, Mitterrand took 10
people to the Olympics in Albertville; the average VIP
delegation, including several reigning monarchs and leading
members of royal families, had 5 persons in their advance or
support teams; our traveling party and support staff at the
Olympics involved 252 people.
-3-
-- Despite the pressure of regulation and custom, we should
look particularly hard at whether the size of Secret Service
details can be cut. Also, a gimlet eye should focus on how
essential to the mission are some of the official staff members.
-- In planning a visit, costs should be a key consideration.
-- The role of the pre-advance team should be examined. They
rarely seem to decide anything and even more rarely do they
appear to communicate with the advance team that follows.
Embassies and local authorities do not suffer this redundancy
gladly.
-- Embassies themselves should be given more responsibility for
working out innovative but sensible programs in advance. They
should be charged with taking fully into account the needs of
the traveling party, the situation on the ground and the
sensibilities of the host country. We simply must cut down on
the flailing about that comes from demanding that every
possible option be considered and then staffing up for it in
case a last minute decision is made to go ahead.
Mr. President, I had thought things were going better on this
score -- and they were. Certainly your brief visit to
Rambouillet last July 14 was a model of streamlined planning
and staffing. I write you again now because some quarters at
home have already forgotten the very positive results of your
efforts of a year ago.
What really bothers me, in the present instance, is that as a
nation we expended considerable treasure in the past month with
the intention of being represented in the best possible way at
an event watched by hundreds of millions around the globe.
What was the upshot? A $1,000,000 photo-op? We should be
sobered by it. In France, at any rate, we Americans left a
large number of our best friends with the feeling that we do
not know how to put our best foot forward -- or that we have
put our feet on their toes.
Despite all the pressures that I know you must cope with, I
hope that you can continue to have your people pursue this
issue in the conviction that to do so will be worth it in the
end.
Thanks very much for your interest and help in this matter.
With warmest wishes and respect,
Yours ever,

The attached paper from Lamar contains much good food for
thought.
Right now given the hammering by the right and the left of the
economy it's hard to get these valid points in focus, but once
Pat is laid to rest we ought to move on these ideas and Gregg

Lamer
I have lived long enough not to offer unsolicited advice.
But I have given this memo to Skinner, Yeutter and Darman (and
Jim Baker) and I thought you might want to see it.

happen what the President talked about in his excellent
[NOTE: This is about how to follow up and to actually make
February 12 campaign kick-off statement. It is a medium term
strategy focused upon the President's speech at the
convention as the defining moment.
While a speech on March 20 might define the President's
current agenda and program versus the "business as usual"
view of what kind of America we want, and how we should get
Congress, what follows is different. It defines a longer
there. It might be mentioned in passing in response to the
March 20 deadline but should not be rushed.]
1.
The central thrust of the 1992 electorate.
a. Partly because of American success in beating
Communism abroad, and partly because of the speed
of change at home too (Technology, medicine, job
market, etc.) the 1992 election will be about the
future of America at home.
b. The recession accelerates the focus of our
attention to matters at home and it should be taken
seriously but it is only a traffic jam. It will
end. The question is where the road leads then.
C. The public will want the candidates (the President
included) to understand America and to point to
where the road goes -- what kind of America we
want, and how we should get there.
d.
In that sense the election is less a referendum on
the successful past than the first day of an
uncertain future. That might be dangerous for
leaders who have been around for awhile -- and a
chance for new faces who seem to be generational
change (Probably an explanation for early Clinton
success).
e. The people sense that our institutions need
renewal:
--our cities aren't what they should be.
--Something is wrong with our education system.
--Something is wrong with our health system.
--Big business seems to be indifferent to little
workers.
are
--Congress and Washington don't seem to work very
well.
--The people aren't sure about their jobs because
they're not sure their employers will survive
5 years.
They're not sure their kids will get good jobs.
They have no sense of what America will be like
in the year 2000.
f. The people don't need a complete and detailed road
map but they want to know what their leadership has
in mind.
2.
Leadership for the future is best shown not talked
about -- shown through involvement, commitment. Words,
speeches, bills alone may not do it.
a. It may be very important for the President to seem
as engaged in and by domestic issues as foreign.
When the words seem words only while his heart/mind
are overseas, it may hurt. The people want to know
he cares.
b.
The key may be consecutive time -- few highly
visible interruptions for foreign things -- and
truly engaging the President's attention over a
long enough period to get his mind fully into it.
His schedule needs to assure him private quality
time to talk with people about the future of the
country,
The Cabinet can be asked to fill in the
following: "When I think of America in the year
2000. M Attachment A is an example of what
the President might say about education as he
thinks of America in the year 2000.
--A series of great American thinkers might spend
individual quality time with the President --
asked to the White House to share with him
their thoughts about "When I think of America in
the year 2000
"
2
--He might ask himself and all around him, in every
meeting, on every subject: "What does this mean
for America in the year 2000?"
--He might instruct every speechwriter to include
the concept in every speech: "When I think of
America in the year 2000
The process is to
impose the discipline upon everyone to think in
those terms.
C. Leadership about the future need not be
comprehensive. The people don't expect an answer
for everything. But they do want to see that their
President understands the questions, has some
answers, and is looking for more.
3. One vehicle, the America 2000 Communities, already
exists as one example of how to think about many of
these subjects.
4.
A relevant campaign year calendar might look like this:
a. From now until the late Spring/early Summer might
be a good time to engage in the quiet consecutive
time meetings with Cabinet and outsiders on what
America in the year 2000 will be like.
The Democrats will be pre-occupied with their own
primary mess.
--The immediate public focus is appropriately on
the short-term economic plan to end the recession
(the "Traffic jam")
b. If some things leak out about great thinkers asked
to the White House to talk about America in the
year 2000, that's OK, probably good. After all,
the most important thing the President should be
doing is getting his thoughts together for exactly
how to make the most of a second term. Although it
really should not be done for PR but to help focus
on the job ahead.
C. Come early Summer he should start to use the line
repeatedly on all domestic subjects -- in most
speeches, regardless of the subject: "When I think
of America in the year 2000.
"
3
d. The objective of the exercise should be to select
no more than 5 areas which address and symbolize
American concerns for today as well as for
tomorrow. The product itself (goals, strategy and
assessment) must be designed to provide assurance
that the American ship of state is not rudderless
and that future unknown problems will also be
solved with effective leadership.
e. The Convention acceptance speech is the right
moment to launch it in a campaign speech. It
should be a knock-em-dead speech about the America
we can be -- optimistic -- uplifting -- with
confidence in the future and excitement in getting
there: Here is the America I see in the year 2000
-- and here's how we can get there.
f. This is less a definition of Democratic weakness
than it is a reason to re-elect a Republican
President. It leaves plenty of room to criticize
the Democrats, but from a position of maximum
strength.
g. Everything in the campaign -- and in the
President's schedule -- would re-emphasize his
upbeat commitment to the future: All scheduling,
all advertising, all campaign materials, all
speeches, all releases (campaign or White House).
h. It would be less a referendum on the past than
seeking a mandate for the future. (The specifics
of the mandate are less important than the public's
awareness that the President not only thinks about
the future but has an exciting concept of it and
how to get there. He will thus get support from
many who might disagree on the specifics but are
thrilled by the leadership.)
i. The beginning point might be a schedule like this:
-Consult with Skinner and Teeter by 3/10
--Small group (2-5) put draft plan together by 3/17
-Plan ready for the President by 3/18 (meet that
week).

Attachment A
When I think of America in the Year 2000--Education
When I think of America in the year 2000--1 think of schools,
colleges and universities that are the best in the world.
Instead of a nation at risk I think of America as a nation of
students.
To accomplish that we must make revolutionary changes in our
schools and in our attitudes about our educational responsibilities
at home.
Business-as-usual has no chance whatever of getting us where
we must go.
That is why we have worked with Governors to create six such
ambitious national education goals. This is the first time in our
nation's history America has had such goals.
That is why we are working so hard on the America 2000
strategy to implement these goals, community-by-community.
This is an agenda for radical change:
--working with educators to create world class standards in
math, science, English, history and geography;
--helping states build new curriculum frameworks;
--moving ahead on a voluntary national examination system so
parents and communities can know how their children and schools
are doing;
--beginning a period of massive teacher retraining and of
parents and communities re-examining their own responsibilities
toward children.
I have challenged America to create an entirely new
generation of "break-the-mold" New American schools, to literally
start from scratch and create the best schools in the world.
America has responded. Hundreds of communities are
rethinking their schools and their responsibilities from top to
bottom. Business has responded by agreeing to raise $200 million to
create design teams to help those communities create New American
schools. And 700 of the most creative teams in America are.
competing to be among those design teams.
I have challenged every American city, town and village to
become an America 2000 community: to adopt the six national
goals, to find their own way to reach them, to create a report card
to measure their progress, and to create at least one new American
school.
America has responded. In less than a year 40 states and
more than 1000 communities are hard at work on their American
2000 activities.
I have challenged Congress to give teachers more flexibility in
spending federal money and to help communities create New
American Schools.
I have challenged Congress to give families more choices of
schools, to give teachers more flexibility, to help states create
world class standards, new curriculum frameworks and a national
examination system.
Congress has been thinking about my challenges now for
nearly a year and is about to send (has sent) me a billion dollars
worth of business-as-usual legislation.
But I am not going to let Congress authorize spending one
billion new dollars on business as usual and pretend that it is real
education reform.
Business as usual and more of the same will not help us reach
our dream of creating the best education system in the world by the
turn of the century.
We must have revolutionary change.
That means ambitious goals, America 2000 communities,
world-class standards and a national examination system--it means
break-the mold New Americans Schools, more flexibility for
classroom teachers, and opportunity scholarships that give middle
and low income families more choices of schools.
And it means spending the money we are now spending more
wisely--as well as making new investments at all levels--to make
these revolutionary changes real.
I am glad to put new money into education. I think of education
as an investment in our future.
My new budget puts more new dollars into education than into
any other department. Federal spending for education has been going
up faster than state and local spending while I have been President.
The budget has record increases for head start and for helping
families pay for college. It has a half billion new federal dollars to
create opportunity scholarships and another half billion over three
years for New American schools. It allocates $2.1 billion to math
and science education with a new focus on teacher retraining.
This year I have also challenged Congress to create one million
$1000 "opportunity scholarships" that will give middle and low
income families more of the same choices of all schools that
wealthy people have always had. "Opportunity scholarships" will
mean new federal dollars to help states do for elementary and high
school students what the federal government did for veterans with
the GI Bill and what the federal government does today with Pell
Grants to help students pay for college costs. These "opportunity"
scholarships would mean fairness to middle and low-income
families, would put new federal money into schools that serve our
children who need the most help, and would unleash powerful
competitive forces to help make all schools better.
When I think of education in America in the year 2000 1 think
of all of our children arriving at school ready to learn, of at least 90
per cent of our children graduating from high schools, of all children
learning at least math, science, history, English and geography to a
standard so that they can live work and compete with children in
every part of the world. I think of our children working hard to
become first in the world in math and science. I think of working
Americans literate and skilled so that they can have and keep good
jobs. I think of schools that are drug and violence free.
I can think of no crusade that will bring out the best in this
wonderful country better than this America 2000 crusade, a crusade
community-by community to make certain that when the next
century comes, America is a nation of students and that those
students have the best education system in the world.

Subject: Conditions In The Natural Gas Industry

relief. Secretary Brady's followup to Senator Nickles is
already receiving praise from the independents.
You may have noticed the excellent New York Times article
of March 2, 1992 on the desperate situation facing domestic
natural gas producers which I have enclosed as Attachment 1.
These conditions have been of concern to me since we began
developing the National Energy Strategy (NES). We are
concentrating our efforts on three key aspects of increasing
demand for natural gas which are described in Attachment 2.
We are confident that over the long term, the NES proposals
will substantially increase natural gas demand. In the
meantime, we believe that alternative minimum tax relief
and Federal royalty reductions will be highly beneficial,
especially if royalty reductions were to be extended to
off-shore production -- an option we have been discussing
with Interior and OMB. I would be happy to provide you
any further details on any aspect of our natural gas program.

Bush Administration Natural Gas Initiatives
Statutory and Administrative Reform of natural gas pipeline
regulation, including making it easier to construct new
pipelines. These reforms should reduce one of the central
bottlenecks in getting natural gas from producers who want
to sell it to consumers who want to buy it. The National
Energy Security Act of 1992, overwhelmingly passed by the
Senate on February 19, contains a number of NES initiatives
that will promote greater use of natural gas by expediting
licensing procedures for construction of interstate gas
pipelines, facilitating gas producers' market access,
eliminating regulatory barriers to greater use of natural
gas in motor vehicles, and requiring government and large
private fleets to purchase alternative fuel vehicles. In
addition, Martin Allday has been making significant progress
in implementing regulatory reforms at FERC that will
increase the use of natural gas.
Federal R&D Investments. We completely restructured and
expanded the natural gas R&D budget for Fiscal Year 1993,
after extensive consultations with the industry. We have
focused our research on end-use technology both for the near
term (turbine engines with lower NOx emissions), and for the
longer term (fuel cells). Our total natural gas R&D budget
for FY '93 was increased 15% to $108 million. The near-term
R&D budget was increased from $9 million in FY '92 to $40
million in FY '93.
Near-term Initiatives. We have launched a number of
initiatives to address immediate problems, such as continued
misperception by utilities about the availability of natural
gas supplies for electricity generation, and possible new
State interventions in the market as Federal regulation
becomes less intrusive. We held a conference of key market
players (producers, consumers and regulators) in Phoenix the
first week of February, which was well received. We also
have underway comprehensive studies to update our resource
base estimates and to identify barriers to increased natural
gas demand, such as fuel switching options among utilities
and industrials. We expect these studies to be completed
by September and believe that they will be valuable in
increasing confidence in the availability of natural gas
supplies and in identifying new initiatives to remove
barriers to increased natural gas use.
We also are actively supporting Federal, State and private
programs to increase natural gas use in transportation.

already has purchased 675 compressed natural gas (CNG)
vehicles for its fleet. In addition, the Federal Government
has supported the purchase of over 800 natural gas cars,
trucks and buses for others. As a result of a new
$15 million initiative contained in your FY '93 budget
request, we will be able to accelerate the acquisition of
alternative fuel vehicles for the Federal fleet. This
initiative will allow us to purchase or convert an
additional 5,000 alternative fuel vehicles in FY '93, a
significant portion of which will be CNG vehicles.

SUBJECT:
Good News about Your New American Schools
At 10:00 A.M. today, Tom Kean, Chairman of the New American
Schools Development Corporation (NASDC), held a press conference
to announce an important milestone. In response to a Request for
Proposals issued 5 months ago, design teams from across the
nation have submitted their proposals on how to reinvent
America's schools. The response has been tremendous:
-- Proposals have been submitted by 686 design teams with team
members from 49 states.
-- The teams represent 240 school systems and/or school boards
in dozens of states. There are 226 business partners --
representing both major corporations and regional and
smaller businesses.
-- Team members also include 140 colleges and universities and
136 think tanks, associations or foundations.
From these 686 proposals, NASDC will award one year design
contracts -- up to $3 million each -- to as many as thirty of the
competing teams. These awards should be made by late June.
The thirty designs will be further developed and, in the Spring
of 1993, the most promising will be given two year contracts to
test and implement their designs in school settings.
The New American Schools are one of the four transforming ideas
in your education strategy (the others being standards and
testing, communities and more choices for middle and low income
families). Despite Congressional propensities to do "business as
usual," the country is moving ahead on these ideas.
This response to NASDC's challenge for "break the mold" designs
leadership. is yet another sign that the country is responding to your

LAR 1992
TO: The Honorable George Bush
FROM: Edward J. Derwinski
SUBJ: VA/HHS Rural Health Care Proposal and Veterans Service
Organizations Relationships
I wanted to give you an update following the decision to halt
the VA/HHS rural health care initiative and our current relations
with the Veterans Service Organizations.
The three major Veterans Service Organizations have recently
been in town and we have met with the leadership of each. In
addition, we held a special meeting with the National Commander and
the Executive Director of the Veterans of Foreign Wars last week.
To the degree possible, the fence mending has been completed. The
American Legion and the Disabled American Veterans both went out of
their way to give me a very cordial reception, and I would say our
relationships are back on track.
With the Veterans of Foreign Wars we agreed jointly that we
couldn't resolve all our old issues, but would work together on all
future ones.
We believe that the concerns about the rural health care
proposal are behind us, and we can move forward with the Veterans
Service Organizations on issues of mutual interest within the
contraints of our budget.
