I'D LIKE TO THANK SECRETARY BRADY AND GOVERNOR SUNUNU FOR ARRANGING THIS MEETING. I ALSO WANT TO RECOGNIZE SECRETARY KEMP; JOHN ROBSON, DEPUTY SECRETARY OF TREASURY; MICHAEL BOSKIN, CHAIRMAN OF THE COUNCIL OF ECONOMIC ADVISORS; AND ROGER PORTER, MY DOMESTIC POLICY ADVISOR. RECENTLY, I'VE HAD MEETINGS WITH A WIDE RANGE OF BUSINESS PEOPLE, INCLUDING CORPORATE CEO'S, BANKERS, AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, AND I'M PLEASED TO BE HERE WITH YOU TODAY. -2- I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THE CURRENT LEVELS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH. ALTHOUGH GNP BEGAN TO RISE THIS SUMMER, WE NEED TO GENERATE MORE JOBS, MORE GROWTH. I RECOGNIZE THAT MANY OF YOU IN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY HAVE SUFFERED A GREAT DEAL DURING THE RECESSION. THE AVAILABILITY OF CREDIT REMAINS A MAJOR PROBLEM. -3- WE'VE WORKED FOR OVER A YEAR WITH REAL ESTATE GROUPS AND WITH BANK REGULATORS ON STEPS TO ENSURE THAT REGULATORY POLICY DOESN'T IMPEDE CREDIT EXPANSION. AND I THINK OUR RECENT CREDIT CRUNCH PROPOSALS WILL HELP. IN THE HOMEBUILDING SECTOR, RECENT REPORTS SHOW THAT NEW CONSTRUCTION AND EXISTING HOME SALES ARE RISING. HOWEVER, THE PACE IS TOO SLOW. BUT WE SHOULDN'T LOOK AT REAL ESTATE IN ISOLATION. -4- HOME EQUITY IS THE LARGEST ASSET FOR MOST AMERICAN FAMILIES. REAL ESTATE PROBLEMS AFFECT THOSE FAMILIES WEALTH AND SENSE OF WELL-BEING. LOW HOME VALUES AFFECT THEIR WILLINGNESS TO SPEND OR RISK MONEY IN INVESTMENTS. LOW REAL ESTATE VALUES DEPRESS CONSUMER CONFIDENCE. THIS IS TRUE OF THE COMMERCIAL REAL-ESTATE SECTOR AS WELL. THE COMMERCIAL REAL-ESTATE SECTOR WON'T FULLY RECOVER UNTIL THE ECONOMY PRODUCES MORE TENANTS. WE NEED MORE WIDESPREAD ECONOMIC GROWTH. -5- A CAPITAL GAINS TAX CUT WOULD HELP. IT WOULD SPUR INVESTMENT, CREATE JOBS, AND RAISE THE VALUE OF ALL HOMES AND COMMERCIAL PROJECTS. THE OTHER ELEMENTS OF OUR PACKAGE WOULD HELP BOLSTER THE ECONOMY, INCLUDING OUR FAMILY SAVINGS AND IRA PROPOSALS. UNFORTUNATELY, CONGRESS HAS SPENT THREE YEARS BLOCKING MY GROWTH PACKAGE. I'M SURE YOU'VE BEEN DISCUSSING WITH GOVERNOR SUNUNU, SECRETARY BRADY, AND CHAIRMAN BOSKIN THE RENEWED PUSH WE WILL GIVE OUR PROGRAM TO PROMOTE ECONOMIC EXPANSION. 28953955 Document No. WHITE HOUSE STATTING MEMORANDUM 11/27/91 3:00PM, TODAY, NOV. 27 DATE: ACTION/CONCURRENCE/COMMENT DUE BY: PRESIDENTIAL TALKING POINTS: MEETING WITH REAL ESTATE REPRESENTATIVES ROOSEVELT ROOM, DECEMBER 2, 10:00AM SUBJECT: ACTION FYI ACTION FYI VICE PRESIDENT HORNER SUNUNU MCCLURE SCOWCROFT PETERSMEYER DARMAN N/C PORTER BRADY ROGICH BROMLEY SMITH McBRIDE CARD SNOW DEMAREST FITZWATER BOSKIN given tots GRAY Schearv 2607 HOLIDAY N/C REMARKS: Please provide comments on the attached directly to Tony Snow, Rm. 122, x2930, with a copy to this office NO LATER THAN 3:00PM, TODAY, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27.
