SUBJECT:
AKRON, OHIO LOCAL COLOR
THE EVENT:
The President will address 8,000 supporters at an airport
rally in the rain outside of Firestone/McKinley Hangar at 3:00
p.m. on Monday, November 2. The hangar is no longer used by
Firestone Tire Co., and it was named for William McKinley.
LOCAL COLOR:
Akron used to be the rubber capital of the world -- it used
to be the HQ of about six different tire companies. They have
since moved on to other cities.
The Buckeye State is the home of seven Presidents, and on
Tuesday, they will help elect another. It is also the home of
the NFL Hall of Fame.
The President's grandfather is from Ohio (Columbus), and his
company, Buckeye Steel, made couplings for railroads. The
President's father was born and raised in the state.
Famous Ohioans: Neil Armstrong, Clarence Darrow, Thomas
Edison, Clark Gable, Bob Hope, Jack Nicklaus, Jesse Owns, John D.
Rockefeller Sr. and Jr., Pete Rose, Harriet Beecher Stowe,
Charles Taft, Robert A. Taft, William H. Taft, Orville Wright.
ISSUES:
The Department of Energy announced Friday 32.5 million
over a five-year period for Ohio's environmental
oversight at DOE's Fernald, Mound, and Portsmouth
sites. These are DOE nuclear weapons plants being
cleaned up as a part of the Environmental Restoration
and Waste Management Program. This is apparently a big
kudo for us in the state. I have attached a DOE press
release.

PAGE TWO
Clinton's plan to slash defense spending by $58 million
more than the President's cuts will cost one million
defense jobs nationwide, and more than 34,000 defense
workers in Ohio.
Clinton's plan to tax foreign investment will
jeopardize 4.5 million American jobs, including those
of 150,000 Ohio workers employed by 600 foreign-owned
companies.
If Clinton continues to waffle on NAFTA, he could
imperil Ohio agricultural exports to Mexico (which have
increased 430 percent since 1987) -- if Mexico
retaliates for example, it would be bad news for Ohio's
78,000 farms.
Republican challenger Mike Dewine is in a tough race in
Ohio against Democrat incumbent John Glenn.
HUMOR/APPLAUSE LINES:
Akron used to be the rubber capital of the world --
because so many tire companies were located there.
What a fitting place to attack the man who wants to be
the rubber-stamp President to a rubber-check Congress.
Heinz recently purchased Akron-based Weight Watchers
plant. Perhaps Gov. Clinton has been coming back to
Ohio for more than its 21 electoral votes. (Maybe we
should have Weight Watchers trim the fat from our
budget.)

DOE ANNOUNCES INTENT TO FUND ENVIRONMENTAL OVERSIGHT
AND PURSUE CLEANUP AGREEMENTS WITH STATE OF OHIO
Following through on President Bush's commitment to environmentally
sound management of the Nation's nuclear weapons complex, the Department of
Energy (DOE) has announced its intent to finalize agreements and provide
funding to the state of Ohio. The agreements are intended to support the
state in conducting comprehensive environmental oversight at DOE's Fernald,
Mound and Portsmouth sites. DOE plans to provide Ohio with grants totalling
$32.5 million over a five-year period to support the state's oversight role.
In the Bush administration, DOE has placed a greater emphasis on
environment, safety and health components of its activities, and has worked
with states and other federal agencies to accomplish specific environmental
objectives. Reflecting the President's commitment to clean up DOE's nuclear
weapons facilities, the department's Environmental Restoration and Waste
Management Program is one of the fastest growing programs in the entire
government with an approved budget of $5.5 billion in fiscal year 1993, an
increase of almost 250 percent from fiscal year 1989.

DOE and the state of Ohio have agreed to complete two types of
agreements. The first is an Agreement-in-Principle for Environmental
Monitoring and Oversight (AIP). AIPs are agreements that allow host states
access to DOE facilities and facilitate the states' oversight of DOE's
environmental monitoring programs as well as independent monitoring to
validate DOE data. The agreements also support state planning for emergency
response to incidents at DOE facilities.
DOE currently has AIPs with 11 other states that host DOE nuclear
facilities. Under the AIP with Ohio, DOE expects to provide the state with
$11 million over five years.
DOE and the state will also negotiate separate agreements for the three
sites which will support state oversight of cleanup activities conducted
under provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act (CERCLA). Under these agreements, DOE expects to provide
the state with approximately $21.5 million.
The cleanup of the Portsmouth and Mound sites are currently covered by
two-party agreements between DOE and the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), which Secretary of Energy James D. Watkins said are likely to be
revised to include the state. State oversight at the Fernald site will be
addressed in a proposed amended Consent Degree to be filed with the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of Ohio.
"I look forward to finalizing these agreements and to continued
cooperative efforts with the state of Ohio in reviewing DOE's monitoring
systems and site cleanup programs," Admiral Watkins said in announcing the
DOE's intent to finalize the AIP and the cleanup agreements.

DOE SOLICITS INNOVATIVE
R&D GRANT APPLICATIONS FROM SMALL BUSINESSES
The Department of Energy is inviting small business firms to submit grant
applications under its eleventh annual solicitation for the Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) program.
The SBIR program's objective is to strengthen the role of small, innovative
firms in areas of research and development (R&D) which are federally funded. It
is also intended to use federal R&D as a base for technological innovation, to
meet agency needs and to contribute to the growth and strength of the Nation's
economy. The program implements the Small Business Innovation Development Act
of 1982.
Grant applications will be reviewed competitively and the winners
(approximately 160) will receive awards of up to $75,000 to explore the
feasibility of their ideas, with up to $500,000 available in a second phase for
those ideas with the highest potential to meet the SBIR program objectives.
Firms with strong research capabilities in science and engineering in any
of the 37 technical topics on the attached list are encouraged to participate.
The department will issue its fiscal year 1993 Program Solicitation on
December 8, 1992. The closing date for receipt of grant applications is March 8,
1993. For a copy of this solicitation, small businesses (500 employees or less)
are invited to telephone (301) 903-5707 or write to the following address:
