ANNUAL AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK CONFERENCE
United States Department of Agriculture
Washington, D.C.
Outlook '90, Session #3
For Release: Tuesday, November 28, 1989
AGRICULTURAL TRADE OUTLOOK AND ISSUES
Ann Veneman
Deputy Under Secretary, International Affairs and Commodity Programs
U.S. Department of Agriculture
It is a tradition here that we release the first USDA export forecast for the
new season at our annual Conference. Presenting this forecast must have been
a great pleasure -- a privilege much coveted by speakers -- during the soaring
70's. The 1980's, as you know, haven't been nearly as kind to U.S. exports.
I wish I could say, on the opening day of this Conference, that we have saved
the best news of the afternoon for last.
I am pleased to report that fiscal year 1989 ended with the highest U.S.
agricultural export value since the record 1981 season -- nearly $40 billion
worth of U.S. farm products going to other nations. I can tell you that since
1986, the low point for this decade, our export value has climbed an
impressive 51 percent.
Export volume for 1989 was just under 148 million metric tons. This is about
a half-million tons lower than the 1988 figure. Even so, we have seen our
export tonnage recover rather dramatically over the last few years. Total
volume of agricultural exports shipped in 1989 was up 38 million tons from the
depressed level of 1986.
Our agricultural trade surplus (exports minus imports) topped $18 billion in
1989, the highest in 4 years and more than triple the surplus recorded back in
1986.
Fiscal 1990, the first year of the new decade, began on October 1. Our
forecasters say we'll probably see a slight decline in export value this year,
following 3 consecutive years of gains. Season-average prices for coarse
grains and oilseeds will be down from the drought-inflated levels we
experienced during the 1988/89 season. These lower prices will trim the value
of U.S. agricultural exports.
Export volume may also be somewhat lower, held down mainly by a recovery in
wheat production abroad and an overall reduction in world wheat trade.
In general, our bulk products will tend to dampen U.S. export earnings this
Mayer
447 6185
year. By contrast, our high-value agricultural exports are expected to set
still another record, possibly reaching $11 billion.
For the longer term, the decade before us seems to offer much promise. That
promise, however, can only be realized if we, together with our trading
partners, choose wisely. Here and abroad, we must choose policies that
maximize the potential for economic growth and expanded trade. As the old
Chinese proverb reminds us, opportunity may knock, but we have to answer the
door, greet it, and make it feel welcome.
Outlook by Commodities
I will talk a little bit more about the choices and opportunities ahead. But,
first, let me share some of the highlights of our 1990 export outlook at this
early point in the season. I'll start with the major commodities.
In coarse grains, we have experienced nearly a 20-percent growth in the total
volume of world trade over the last 4 years. The new year is expected to
bring another increase. World trade volume is forecast to rise around 5
percent. The United States may get close to half of that growth, perhaps
about 2-1/2 million tons on top of the 61 million we exported in 1989. This
would result in the largest U.S. export volume for coarse grains since 1981.
The Soviet Union is driving much of the trade growth. Soviet corn imports
from all sources are projected to rise another 2 million tons this year,
despite a larger Soviet crop. China is back in the corn import market, its
position as a major corn exporter having diminished considerably since
1985/86.
South Korea will remain one of the strongest growth markets for coarse grains,
corn particularly. Meanwhile, the European Community's (EC's) corn imports
from suppliers outside the EC will continue to fall.
Healthy world demand notwithstanding, prices are likely to be down from last
season's drought levels. Our forecasts call for a 49-percent increase in U.S.
coarse grain production and a 1-percent increase in foreign production. At
this point, it appears that lower prices will offset the higher export volume,
resulting in a decline of up to 10 percent in the value for U.S. coarse grain
exports.
Turning to wheat, world trade volume is likely to be steady to down slightly.
With stagnant demand, U.S. wheat exports may drop about 4-3/4 million tons, as
Canadian and Argentine exports rise. For the second straight year, the EC is
expected to be our largest export competitor.
With the U.S. wheat crop up an estimated 13 percent and foreign output up 5 to
6 percent, we're looking at record world production. Among major markets,
significant production increases are expected in India, China, and the USSR.
Among competitors, sharp output increases are projected for Canada, Argentina,
and the EC. Increased Soviet production is expected to result in total wheat
imports of only 12 million tons, the lowest purchase volume since 1979/80.
U.S. wheat use (domestic use plus exports) will again exceed production, so
stocks will drop for the fourth straight year. World stocks will fall, too,
possibly to the lowest level since 1981/82. The tight supply-demand balance
means higher average wheat prices in fiscal 1990, compared with 1989.
Nevertheless, U.S. export value is expected to drop around 14 percent, as the
lower wheat volume more than offsets the higher average price.
For oilseeds, a very large Southern Hemisphere soybean crop is likely to limit
exports of U.S. soybeans and soymeal. We'll see a recovery in the Argentine
soybean crop after last year's drought and another good crop in Brazil. U.S.
soybean exports may rise about 11 percent in volume, but South American
producers will record a bigger increase.
U.S. soybean production is up about 25 percent, and foreign production is up a
forecast 4 percent. The recovery in production and stocks will likely mean
sharply lower prices compared with last season -- and the lower prices will
bring down the value of U.S. soybean exports, even as sales volume expands.
Overall, U.S. oilseed exports may decline more than a billion dollars from
1989's $6.8 billion, based on current prospects.
The outlook for cotton exports is very encouraging. Our November projections
suggest that U.S. export volume may rise 10-15% in fiscal 1990, despite the
much smaller U.S. harvest compared with last year. At the same time, foreign
export volume will decline. As a result, the U.S. share of world cotton
exports during the marketing year could jump to 31 percent, well above last
season's 24-percent share. Prices will be held up by the tight global
supply-demand balance, meaning a very sharp increase in U.S. export value in
fiscal 1990.
However, competition will heighten considerably next spring, as Southern
Hemisphere producers harvest larger cotton crops to take advantage of the
strong market.
In the high-value category, U.S. livestock, dairy, and poultry exports are
expected to match last year's record $6.6 billion. Increased beef exports to
Japan take much of the credit. Likewise, horticultural product exports are
projected at a record $4.4 billion, bolstered by larger sales of fruits,
vegetables, tree nuts, and wine to the Pacific Rim nations.
Even with several successive records, the United States continues to lag well
behind the European Community in exports of high-value and consumer-ready
products. The United States accounts for a third of world trade in bulk
agricultural products, but our share is less than 10 percent for
consumer-ready foods and beverages.
Outlook for Major Markets
Let me say just a few words about our forecasts for major markets.
The USSR is the world's largest importer of grains. The U.S. share of total
Soviet grain imports -- at 18 percent just 3 years ago --- was close to 60
percent in 1988/89. As bilateral relations have improved, the Soviets have
turned to the United States for a larger proportion of their imports.
U.S. agricultural exports to the Soviet Union reached an all-time high in
fiscal 1989 -- $3.3 billion. This made the USSR our second largest
single-country market after Japan. In 1990, we may nearly match this sales
level. A decline in the export value of U.S. grains and oilseeds will
probably be balanced by record U.S. sales of meat and dairy products.
Large imports reflect the Soviet government's commitment, as part of its
reform program, to meet consumer demands for improved food quality, variety,
and availability. Grains are needed to sustain large livestock herds, so meat
and dairy supplies can be increased. Although wheat imports will be down in
1990, the USSR is expected to account for 24 percent of total world coarse
grain imports in 1990. U.S. corn exports will probably equal last year's
record volume of 16.3 million tons.
Our current long-term grain agreement with the USSR was originally set to
expire in 1988. Last year, both countries agreed to extend it for an
additional 27 months, until the end of 1990. Bilateral talks aimed at a new
long-term agreement for 1991-1995 are scheduled to begin next week in Moscow.
A few other country forecasts may interest you --
o After more than doubling in fiscal 1989, U.S. agricultural exports to China
may decline to perhaps $1.2 billion -- still the second-largest U.S. sales
figure to China in more than a decade.
o Japan, our largest market, is expected to hold fairly steady this year,
with U.S. agricultural export value forecast at around $8.2 billion. U.S.
beef exports, which rose nearly 60 percent in fiscal 1989, are expected to
continue expanding in line with the terms of the beef-citrus agreement. U.S.
pork and poultry exports are also likely to grow.
o U.S. exports to South Korea are projected to increase for the fourth
straight year in 1990, perhaps reaching a record $2.5 billion. Beef is one of
our fastest growing exports to this country, rising nearly 600 percent in 1989
as Korea began to open up its market to beef.
o Our exports to the European Community are likely to decline by a
half-billion dollars this year. Part of that decline is the result of reduced
opportunities for meat sales because of the EC hormone ban. This issue has
not yet been resolved to our satisfaction.
o In the year that just ended, U.S. agricultural exports to Eastern Europe
slumped to their lowest level in a decade--$422 million. We expect to see a
moderate increase this year. Much of it will be in food assistance to Poland
under P.L. 480 and other concessional programs. Commodities include corn,
sorghum, rice, butter, soybean oil, pork bellies, and cotton.
Let us remember that U.S. agricultural exports to Eastern Europe exceeded $2
billion back in the early 1980's, when large amounts of credit were extended.
Debt and lack of hard-currency earnings are now a barrier to trade, but the
latent demand is still there.
Later this evening, I'll be boarding a flight to Poland as part of a
government-private sector team led by Secretary Yeutter. Our mission is to
provide the President with recommendations as to the most effective use of
U.S. assistance to Poland, and to assist the Poles in developing their own
economic restructuring program.
Looking Ahead to the 1990's
I said, at the beginning of this presentation, that the 1990's hold much
promise for export growth. We are witnessing dramatic reforms sweeping the
Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. In the less developed countries, rapid
population growth should translate into growing demand for food, if their
economies can improve.
In 1979, Asia replaced Western Europe as the leading regional market for U.S.
agricultural products. Since then, the percentage of U.S. farm exports going
to Asia has steadily increased -- from 32 percent in fiscal 1980 to 41 percent
in 1989. Asia will continue to be a growth market -- especially for
high-value, consumer-ready products -- as industrialization proceeds and
income continues to rise.
However, we learned a valuable lesson in the 1980's We cannot assume that
export growth is inevitable.
In my judgment, the greatest potential obstacle to expansion in agricultural
trade is the protectionist policies pursued by governments around the world.
I know the importance of trade reform under the GATT was covered in some
detail this afternoon, and I won't get into this.
Let me just say that, not long ago, much of the world lived with barriers
preventing the free flow of ideas, people, and commerce. We have seen walls
being broken open, to one degree or another, in the Soviet Union, China, and
now Eastern Europe. It would be a sad irony if the industrialized democracies
were unable to dismantle the walls they have erected -- walls to the free flow
of food and fiber products, based on comparative advantage.
For many developing countries, debt remains a major constraint on imports.
They, too, need access to the markets of the industrialized nations, so they
can increase their export earnings. The best strategy to increase the future
potential for U.S. agricultural exports is to encourage and promote policies
that foster rising incomes in the developing countries. These are the growth
markets for farm products, the markets where diets are improving and will
continue to improve as incomes increase.
Free and open markets, and assistance for economic and agricultural
development, is a sound investment in the long-term growth of the foreign
markets on which U.S. agriculture is so dependent.
From the U.S. perspective, I must say that all signs point to a very
challenging trade environment in the 1990's. We took some major steps to
re-establish our competitiveness with the 1985 farm bill, but we need to
remain vigilant to ensure that U.S. agriculture can compete in the years
ahead.
To sell at competitive prices, we have to keep our production costs down.
Fertile soil and a generally favorable climate account for only part of our
comparative advantage. Much more rests on the investments we have made in
agricultural research and development over the past half century. These
investments have given American agriculture one of the fastest productivity
growth rates of any sector of the U.S. economy.
A nation that does not maintain its investment in research and science is
gambling with its future and its competitive position. Modern U.S.
agriculture is a high-tech industry, an industry that requires a constant
infusion of new ideas and technologies to maintain its edge.
Conclusion
To briefly recap the export outlook for 1990, we are expecting U.S.
agricultural exports this fiscal year to total around $38 billion, down about
$1.7 billion from 1989. Export volume should remain close to the 1989 level
-- within about 2 million tons.
Clearly, we haven't yet recovered to the 1980-81 peaks in export volume and
value. On the other hand, we're starting the new decade in a far better
position than we were in the mid-1980's, at the bottom of our export slump.
In short, export prospects are fraught with uncertainties as well as
opportunities. As the bearer of this mixed message, I am reminded of an old
New Yorker cartoon. A messenger had just delivered news from the battle front
to the king. The king's guards were wondering whether they should drag the
messenger outside and execute him.
"The news was neither good nor bad," said the King. "Just take him out and
rough him up a little."
Thank you for treating this messenger more courteously.

DAN MC GROARTY
PEGGY DOOLEY
FROM: SARA MALTBY
DATE: NOVEMBER 15, 1989
SUBJ: PRE-ADVANCE TO DES MOINES, IOWA
Friday, December 8th the President will participate in a
fundraising dinner for Congressman Tom Tauke who is running for
US Senate against Democrat Tom Harkin. He is scheduled to arrive
at the dinner site, the Des Moines Convention Center, at
approximately 7:00 p.m.
At that time he will be taken to a VIP reception for about
400 people who have been key ticket sellers. He will give brief
remarks for 2-3 minutes thanking the workers. (Political Affairs
will prepare talking points, this is a closed press event).
Immediately following, he will enter another holding room
for pictures with 46 couples who bought tickets for $9,000.
At 7:30 he will be introduced by Congressman Tauke for a 5-8
minute, or whatever time you determine, speech that will be put
on telepromter. The audience size is expected to be about 4,000
people.
Then he departs. He does not remain for dinner or for any
additional event.
Contacts for insight and background are;
Allen Finch, Tauke for Senate Press Secretary
Chip Gately, Finance Director, Tauke for Senate
Beverly Hubbell Tauke, wife of the Congressman and former
speechwriter for Senator Grassley
Tauke was the first member of the Iowa delegation to endorse
Bush during the caucuses and stuck with him. However, due to
Beverly's connection with Senator Grassley, she supported Senator
Dole during that time.
The point of all this being, Bush came in third in the
closely scrutinized caucuses and politically, he could really give
a rip about the state.

He's doing this dinner as a thank you for Tauke sticking his neck
out when he did. So, it's a big deal that Bush is coming back to
Iowa and a big deal that it's on behalf of Tauke.
He and his wife were part of the hand-full of Congressmen
and spouses invited to the White House early on for the Lincoln
Bedroom Polaroids. The Taukes kissed when it was time for their
photo!
Prior to the funder, it is proposed that the President do a
drug event in a low-income housing section of Des Moines. He
would participate in a children's self-esteem-building session.
Until that is finalized and a writer is assigned, I can hold onto
the information. He would need a brief set of talking points for
this event.

Under George Bush's leadership, Superfund will be a high profile program.
He will protect appropriations for Superfund and vigorously enforce EPA
regulations on toxic waste disposal.
o
George Bush will place even greater emphasis on getting
those who have dumped toxic wastes to cooperate with
expedited cleanups at priority sites. George Bush will
instruct the EPA to vigorously pursue all responsible
parties, so that no one has an incentive to drag out
settlement negotiations.
George Bush will streamline and accelerate the priority
cleanup process.
o
Building on the initiatives he has already made to
rationalize federal regulation, George Bush will remove
regulatory barriers to the introduction and
implementation of new technology to reduce the
production of toxic wastes and to dispose of these
wastes more safely.
o
George Bush will ensure that federal facilities,
including military bases, meet all environmental
standards. There is no national security interest in
contaminating groundwater.
IOWA METHODIST HOSPITAL
Des Moines, Iowa
January 22, 1988
Undoubtedly, the three biggest challenges facing America's health care
system as we prepare for the 21st century are affordability, availability,
and quality. Here at Iowa Methodist I know you're working hard on all of
these issues.
There is a cost problem --- anyone who's ever been hospitalized knows
that -- and we need to address it. Our Administration has made a good
start. The prospective payment system instituted in 1983 has finally
permitted us to get a handle on hospital costs.
But the system is not perfect. For one, it's unfair to rural
hospitals. When Congress decided to institute a differential scale for
payment to rural and urban hospitals, it hurt rural hospitals. Rural
hospitals do have more costs than Medicare assumes.
The rural hospital is the backbone of its community. When you lose the
hospital, the community has a tough time keeping, let alone attracting,
industry. As President, I will support efforts to correct this
differential payment problem in a way that will not bankrupt the federal
budget.
-- 252 --
A HEALTHY AMERICA
We need first-rate health care professionals to fill those hospitals
and we have to attract and keep physicians in rural communities. One of
the reasons for the decline in the number of doctors serving our farm
communities is the terrible cost of malpractice insurance. And I was in
the trauma unit just a minute ago. One of the doctors was helping me
understand that more clearly -- he and his two assistants being right on
the front line in that area. In December, the Iowa Medical Society polled
the state's 500 doctors who performed obstetrics services. 150, half in
rural counties, said that they had stopped delivering babies because the
cost of malpractice coverage had doubled in just two years. Today, if you
are pregnant in a rural county, you might have to travel a long way to have
a baby delivered. The potential health risks to mother and child are
alarming.
Now if we are going to stop this erosion of medical care in rural
communities, we've got to restore common sense and fairness to the medical
malpractice system. And one way to do that, and a way I strongly endorse,
is tort reform. A lot of this is a state responsibility, but the federal
government does have a role in it.
I think we ought to restore fault as a standard of recovery. We ought
to eliminate this joint and several concept where somebody who is just
peripherally there on the scene might have to do all the paying if the
prime person to blame can't make it good. So we have to do something about
that. And the Congress has been reluctant to move on it; there is some
strong opposition to it in various quarters of the House and Senate. But
one good thing that can come out of the election is getting a mandate to
the Congress to take some action on questions that have just sat there
dormant. And this is one of them, and I would like to have a hand in
pushing to see that we can take some corrective action back there in
Washington.
Another issue I want to mention is long-term care. This is a big
concern of mine. The problems of affordability and availability are
particularly acute when it comes to long-term care.
This issue takes on added importance here in Iowa because you have the
second highest elderly population per capita in America. And the need for
long-term care is not exclusive to seniors -- people of all ages can be
struck by chronic illness.
Long-term care is very expensive. It costs an average of $22,000 a
year to stay in a nursing home. Several weeks ago, I outlined a proposal
to deal with the cost of long-term care -- by providing incentives for
people to buy long-term care insurance, while ensuring that seniors who
cannot afford this coverage do not have to exhaust their life's savings
before their spouses are eligible for Medicaid assistance.
But the best solution to the high cost of long-term care will mean
nothing if there are not enough professionals to care for the elderly.
Currently, patients in more than 40 percent of all nursing homes get no
more than 6 minutes of RN time apiece per day -- and almost a quarter of
-- 253
A HEALTHY AMERICA
all homes have no RNs at all. Those are startling statistics, but as all
of you already know, we have a shortage of professional nurses in this
country.
We've got to get more and more people interested in nursing, and that
includes not just women but men, minorities, and people who want to
re-enter the workforce in mid-career. There are great opportunities for
nurses all across America -- and those opportunities are expected to grow
and expand.
As our health care system diversifies, professional nurses will be
needed in ever-growing numbers to work in HMOs, ambulatory surgery centers,
and home health groups. Those patients who need to be hospitalized will
require the sophisticated care that must come from professional nurses.
Since 1983 there has been a 25 percent drop in enrollment in nursing
schools. By the year 2000, the American Hospital Association estimates
that we will have only half of the nurses we need. Obviously, we need to
do better than that.
We can begin by promoting a better awareness of what nurses actually
do. I think the nursing profession suffers from a lot of misunderstanding.
You've got strong nursing activities here at Iowa Medthodist; it
deserves to be emulated by other hospitals. I've always believed in
deregulation and decentralization, and I like the idea of your head nurses
being able to hire and fire and set their own budgets. I also believe in
providing people with incentives. Your clinical ladder seems like a good
way to reward excellence in nursing. We need other hospitals to follow
your lead.
HEALTH CARE
The American health care system can provide the best health services in the
world. People from all over the globe come to America for treatment by our
doctors and hospitals. Our medical schools, medical research, and medical
personnel are without parallel.
Most Americans have complete access to care, and for difficult problems
where you really need a medical system, the American system is far better
than any in the world. The answer is not to take giant steps backwards in
quality of care to deal with access problems for the poor and the
uninsured, but to continually improve the excellent American system and to
give every American a plastic card and access to our health system.
Instead of taking untested, costly risks by requiring all employers,
including schools, hospitals, and small non-profit organizations, to assume
expensive new burdens, George Bush will work to address each segment of the
problem. By taking these careful steps, he will protect those with sound
-- 254 --
A HEALTHY AMERICA
benefits today, while improving the reach of both public and private
programs. He will avoid bankrupting our people, our employers, and our
government.
George Bush is committed to:
Improving the availability of health and long term care benefits
through incentives.
Improving care for lower income Americans through focusing on the
populations most at risk, young mothers and their babies.
Improving the availability of coverage for people with serious
pre-existing conditions.
Working with government, with doctors, hospitals, and other health
care providers, and with beneficiaries and patients to find ways to
keep costs down while maintaining high standards for quality care.
Devoting the necessary resources to finding the causes and cures for
major debilitating diseases, including Alzheimer's disease,
osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease, and AIDS.
Working with all Americans to understand the importance of
prevention of illness as the most important single element in
leading long, healthy, and productive lives.
GEORGE BUSH SUPPORTS FOCUSED EFFORTS THAT WILL BE EFFECTIVE IN PROVIDING
EVERY AMERICAN ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY CARE
George Bush will work to increase the availability of employer-based
health care through incentives to employers, such as continued
deductibility and clarification of the IRS interpretation on
reserves.
George Bush supports allowing low income workers to purchase
Medicaid coverage.
He will vigorously enforce the anti-patient dumping law that
prohibits hospitals from refusing to treat patients based on ability
to pay.
George Bush will increase coverage of lower income Americans,
especially children. George Bush supports mandatory Medicaid
coverage for prenatal and infant services and will work to see that
states adopt coverage for older children.
George Bush supports special efforts directed toward young mothers
and high-risk pregnancies through case management.
He will work with the states to reform antiquated tort laws that
artificially increase the costs of medical care and limit access to
care, especially in rural areas.
255
A HEALTHY AMERICA
And he will vigorously enforce the survey and certification
requirements to ensure high quality nursing home care and to
prohibit discrimination against Medicaid patients.
Health care is one of the most complex and important subjects in public
policy today. George Bush will not support a standardized benefit package
mandated by the federal government, one that removes employee choice and
will ultimately cost millions more than providing good health care should.
George Bush believes that individual workers and their employers should
have the authority to develop the benefit packages that make the most
sense. Mandated benefits make part-time workers more expensive, just at a
time when more workers are demanding flexible schedules and job sharing.
Mandated benefits make low wage workers proportionately more expensive than
other employees. Mandated benefits increase the start up costs for new
businesses -- the source of most new job creation, and lessens the
flexibility of employers and employees to establish a compensation package
that best meets the needs of workers.
Helping small employers gain information about their health insurance
options and facilitating their grouping together to purchase insurance at
lower prices are strategies that should be explored before turning to an
anti-competitive measure like mandated benefits.
GEORGE BUSH SUPPORTS EFFORTS TO FIND WAYS TO KEEP MEDICAL COSTS DOWN WHILE
MAINTAINING HIGH STANDARDS FOR QUALITY CARE
We must insure that government health programs such as Medicare and
Medicaid will not pay for waste and inefficiency--saving these
needed dollars to care for our older and low-income Americans.
We need to do more to promote the option of enrolling in innovative,
and cost-effective plans such as Health Maintenance Organizations
(HMO) and Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO), and to induce
competition among health care providers.
A BUSH ADMINISTRATION WILL WORK TO PROVIDE COVERAGE OF THE COSTS OF
SERIOUS, LONG-TERM CARE FOR OUR SENIORS
Our seniors and others in need of long-term care must be free from
financial ruin because of catastrophic illness, and we must look for
innovative solutions to the problem of long-term care. Today, 1.5 million
Americans are in nursing homes; many more are cared for at home.
George Bush will work to ensure that the cost of this care does not tear
families apart. His program will be fiscally responsible.
We must change the tax code to provide incentives for those who can
afford to pay for long-term care using group plan insurance.
-- 256 --
A HEALTHY AMERICA
We must allow conversion of IRAs, savings accounts and life
insurance so people can pay for long-term health care.
For those seniors who cannot afford long-term care insurance, George
Bush supports changing Medicaid requirements that force people to
"spend down" their life saving before being eligible for assistance.
In order to eliminate the major causes of long-term, chronic
disability, George Bush strongly believes in adequate funding for
research on diseases such as Alzheimers, osteoporsis and strokes.
Billions of dollars in health care costs and heartbreak will be
saved through research, prevention and a cure for such illnesses.
George Bush believes we must commit the resources and the will to find
a cure for AIDS.
Continued research on the AIDS virus combined with public education and
voluntary testing are the best methods to curb the spread of AIDS.
Our government spent over $750 million last year; we will spend over
$1.4 billion this year on AIDS and we have proposed $2.0 billion for
next year. And, as we look into the future, we may have to spend
more.
We must encourage our schools, communities, and churches to become
involved in preventive education efforts. The federal government
has a critical role in providing parents and students essential
facts about AIDS and what they can do to protect themselves.
We must also encourage states to offer voluntary testing of AIDS
patients. If society, however, feels compelled to test its
citizens, then it is absolutely necessary that those records are
kept confidential.
o
George Bush believes we must ensure against discrimination,
particularly in our schools and the workplace. Persons with AIDS
must be allowed to work as long as they are functionally capable.
*
ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS
Most Americans have access to high quality health care. Over 177 million
Americans are insured, mostly by employers and through private health
plans. Thirty two million retired, disabled, and special needs individuals
(kidney dialysis patients) are covered by Medicare. Twenty-three million
individuals in families headed by non-working mothers are covered by
Medicaid. Some people are covered by both a government program and private
sector insurance. Catastrophic health legislation has recently extended
greater coverage to the thirty-two million covered by Medicare.

RELEASE IS EMBARGOED UNTIL

NOVEMBER 3, 1989
THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: OCTOBER 1989
Nonfarm payroll employment rose moderately in October and unemployment
was unchanged, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S. Department of
Labor reported today. The overall jobless rate remained at 5.2 percent,
and the civilian worker rate remained at 5.3 percent.
The number of employees on nonagricultural payrolls, as measured by
the survey of business establishments, rose by 235,000, with most of the
growth occurring in government and services. Total civilian employment, as
measured by the survey of households, was essentially unchanged.
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
The number of unemployed persons, at 6.6 million, and the civilian
worker unemployment rate, 5.3 percent, were unchanged in October. Both
measures have shown little movement since September 1988. The unemployment
rate for adult men edged down to 4.5 percent in October, and that for adult
women edged up to 4.7 percent, returning both rates to about their August
values. Jobless rates were essentially unchanged for teenagers (14.9
percent), whites (4.4 percent), blacks (11.8 percent), and Hispanics (7.9
percent). (See tables A-2 and A-3.)
Civilian Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
Total civilian employment was about unchanged in October, at a
seasonally adjusted level of 117.5 million. Although employment has
changed little since June, it is about 2 million higher than a year
earlier. The employment-population ratio, at 62.9 percent in October, has
also changed little over the past several months, but is well above last
October's 62.4 percent. (See table A-2.)
The seasonally adjusted civilian labor force was unchanged in October,
at 124.1 million, and has shown no growth since June. The civilian labor
force participation rate, 66.4 percent, remained at the September level.
(See table A-2.)
Industrv Pavroll Employment (Establishment Survev Data)
Total nonagricultural payroll employment increased by 235,000 in
October to 109.3 million, seasonally adjusted. Employment growth continued
in the service-producing sector, while the number of goods-producing jobs
was unchanged over the month, following a sharp decline in September. (See
table B-1.)

Within the goods sector, factory employment was little changed in
October at 19.5 million, after falling sharply in the prior month.
However, employment in durable goods continued to decline. This was led by
a drop of 15,000 jobs in the auto industry; since January, employment in
that industry has decreased by 50,000. Employment in fabricated metal
products and electrical equipment also continued to trend downward. An
over-the-month decline in the machinery industry primarily reflected a
strike. In contrast, there were small over-the-month employment gains in
several nondurable goods industries. Jobs in the oil and gas extraction
component of the mining industry continued to edge up, while the number of
construction jobs was about unchanged.
In the service-producing sector, the largest over-the-month gain
occurred in local government (95,000), primarily in local education.
Another major component of the overall increase was the services industry
itself, where employment rose by 85,000, partly reflecting continued strong
gains in health services. Employment in the transportation industry rose
by 25,000 in October, while the number of wholesale and retail trade jobs
was little changed over the month.
Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)
The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on
private nonagricultural payrolls edged up by 0.1 hour in October to 34.8
hours, seasonally adjusted. However, the manufacturing workweek, at 40.8
hours, was down 0.3 hour; this was due in part to declines in the aircraft
industry, where a strike affected hours at work but not the employment
counts (because the strike started after the pay period began). Factory
overtime was unchanged at 3.8 hours. (See table B-2.)
The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory
workers on private nonagricultural payrolls increased by 0.5 percent to
129.4 (1977=100), after seasonal adjustment. The index for manufacturing
fell 0.6 percent to 95.3. (See table B-5.)
Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)
Average hourly earnings of private nonagricultural production or
nonsupervisory workers increased 0.7 percent in October, seasonally
adjusted, while average weekly earnings rose by 1 percent. Prior to
seasonal adjustment, average hourly earnings increased by 6 cents to $9.83
and average weekly earnings, at $343.07, were up $3.07. Over the year,
both average hourly and weekly earnings increased 4 percent. (See tables
B-3 and B-4.)
The Employment Situation for November 1989 will be released on Friday,
December 8, at 8:30 A.M. (EST).

FROM: SARA MALTBY
DATE: NOVEMBER 15, 1989
SUBJ: PRE-ADVANCE TO DES MOINES, IOWA
Friday, December 8th the President will participate in a
fundraising dinner for Congressman Tom Tauke who is running for
US Senate against Democrat Tom Harkin. He is scheduled to arrive
at the dinner site, the Des Moines Convention Center, at
approximately 7:00 p.m.
At that time he will be taken to a VIP reception for about
400 people who have been key ticket sellers. He will give brief
remarks for 2-3 minutes thanking the workers. (Political Affairs
will prepare talking points, this is a closed press event).
Immediately following, he will enter another holding room
for pictures with 46 couples who bought tickets for $9,000.
At 7:30 he will be introduced by Congressman Tauke for a 5-8
minute, or whatever time you determine, speech that will be put
on telepromter. The audience size is expected to be about 4,000
people.
Then he departs. He does not remain for dinner or for any
additional event.
Contacts for insight and background are;
Allen Finch, Tauke for Senate Press Secretary
Chip Gately, Finance Director, Tauke for Senate
Beverly Hubbell Tauke, wife of the Congressman and former
speechwriter for Senator Grassley
Tauke was the first member of the Iowa delegation to endorse
Bush during the caucuses and stuck with him. However, due to
Beverly's connection with Senator Grassley, she supported Senator
Dole during that time.
The point of all this being, Bush came in third in the
closely scrutinized caucuses and politically, he could really give
a rip about the state.
He's doing this dinner as a thank you for Tauke sticking his neck
out when he did. So, it's a big deal that Bush is coming back to
Iowa and a big deal that it's on behalf of Tauke.
He and his wife were part of the hand-full of Congressmen
and spouses invited to the White House early on for the Lincoln
Bedroom Polaroids. The Taukes kissed when it was time for their
photo!
Prior to the funder, it is proposed that the President do a
drug event in a low-income housing section of Des Moines. He
would participate in a children's self-esteem-building session.
Until that is finalized and a writer is assigned, I can hold onto
the information. He would need a brief set of talking points for
this event.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: TAUKE FUNDRAISER
DES MOINES, IOWA
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1989
7:00 P.M.
Senator Grassley, Governor Branstad, Congressmen Leach,
Lightfoot, and Grandy, Governor Ray, Rich Schwarm, George
Wittgraf, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Thank you, , for that kind introduction. It is a pleasure
to be back in Des Moines. ( (And with dinner waiting, I promise
not to keep you. After all, I have to attend one of those famous
Iowa coming-out parties. )) //
( (Tonight, I'm glad, however briefly, to renew old
acquaintances. For despite what happened in 1988, I always enjoy
returning to Iowa. // Even if some people think it's a little
like the Titanic returning to the iceberg.) ) //
My reason for being here is to salute an old friend -- yes,
even at 38. And a good friend. He has been a brilliant
Congressman. He will make a magnificent Senator. His name is
Tom Tauke -- and he deserves our support. //
( (You know, Tom has done a lot on my behalf. Just think of
last year. While Tom was supporting me in the Iowa primaries,
his wife Beverly was supporting Bob Dole. Tom knew that politics
makes strange bedfellows -- but he didn't know it meant he'd be
sleeping in the garage. )) //
2
(In my defense, though, I've tried to make it up to him.
Earlier this year, I took a picture of both Tom and Bev, kissing
each other in the Lincoln Bedroom. // By the way, Barbara wants
you to know it's not true that Tom looked under the bed and found
four score and seven dustballs. )) //
What is true, of course, is that we need Tom Tauke in the
United States Senate. // We need him to serve Iowa -- and help
Iowa serve the Nation. As Chuck Grassley has, and Terry
Branstad. And Fred Grandy and the two Jims -- Leach and
Lightfoot. Men whose values explain the greatness of Iowa. And
whose lives embody the spirit of Iowa: A spirit of "America-
Can," not "Washington-Must. " 11
Fellow Republicans, Tom Tauke is that kind of man. // You
know his story. How he graduated from Loras College and the
University of Iowa. Becoming a reporter and then a lawyer.
Elected to the Iowa Legislature and, at 28, to the U.S. House of
Representatives. How he has fought for the young, old, and
working people. Building better education -- and better rural
health care -- for a State whose best still lies ahead. //
A writer once said of Iowa: "It is top-choice America,
America cut thick and prime." Well, Tom Tauke will be a top-
choice Senator. Look at what he has done for the farmer and
taxpayer. Look at his heartland qualities -- hard work, strength
of character, and belief in family. Tom knows that when it
comes to defending Middle American ideals, it's time to go from
silent to Tauke. //

( (Speaking of family, Tom, I hope you don't mind if I tell
this story. We were at a fundraiser in Cedar Rapids. Tom's
wife, Bev, was in the audience. And she was holding their two-
week-old son, Joseph. When Tom came up with an idea: Give the
baby a better view -- bring him to the head table.) )
( (So Bev did, and Tom cradled him. And, yes, little Joseph
started crying. Whereupon he leaned into the microphone. Well,
with that, Barbara -- like the cavalry -- came to the rescue.
"Give me the baby," she said to Tom. "You don't have the right
contour. I'll bet you know the rest of the story: The baby
didn't make another sound.) ) //
Tom, you might not have had the right contour to hold a two-
week-old baby. // Don't worry: Barbara tells me the same. //
But you have exactly the right contour to join the United States
Senate. // I need you in the Senate. And so does Iowa. For
Tom Tauke can help ensure prosperity at home -- and peace abroad.
As you know, last week I met with Chairman Gorbachev off the
coast of Malta. We talked about the power of freedom to
dismantle walls between Nations. And agreed that we must seize
our historic opportunity to build a generation of peace. Tom
Tauke can help America do that.
And when I speak of prosperity, I mean adding to the over 20
million new jobs since 1982. Lower taxes helped create those
jobs. And Tom Tauke is one of only 23 members of Congress to be
cited by the National Taxpayers Union. I need him in the Senate
4
to keep taxes low. You don't have to be an Iowa farmer to know
it's COWS that should be milked -- not taxpayers. //
Then, there is our crusade against drug use. And here, too,
I need Tom Tauke. // Earlier today I visited kids in a low-
income housing section of Des Moines. And I thought of how our
national comprehensive drug strategy aims to stop use before it
begins. Through education and prevention. From grade school to
graduate school. Tom supports our strategy. He knows that we
have not spent 213 years defending our democracy from despots and
dictators -- only to lose our communities to crack and cocaine.
In addition, we have asked Congress to improve health care
for at-risk populations. Tom founded the Rural Health Care
Coalition. And we want to make America's educational system No.
1 in the world again. So we've proposed legislation to give
greater choice to parents and students. And demand greater
accountability. Tom Tauke will speak for those proposals.
And in child care -- here, too, we've put the emphasis on
choice. So our proposals will allow parents, not government, to
select the best care for their kids. Who know who I asked last
year to help draft those proposals? Tom Tauke spoke for Iowa.
Finally, let me talk for a moment about agricultural policy
and farm bills. Four years ago Tom helped pass a pioneering farm
bill to help a whole community in crisis. And today, farm income
is near record levels, surpluses are virtually gone, and exports
have risen dramatically. Most good land has been brought back
5
into production. And about 30 million acres of fragile land have
been semi-permanently retired.
All of this means good news for farmers, and taxpayers. For
under the 1985 farm bill, agricultural program costs have been
cut by more than half. Let's remember that next year when we
write a new farm bill. Ensuring the many good features of the
1985 act. And at the same time, making needed improvements. We
don't want government to spend more. We want people to earn
more. I need Tom Tauke to make a good bill even better.
( (Now Tom, of course, would downplay all of these
achievements. That's the Iowa way: Modest and understated. I'm
reminded of how a noted comedian -- no, not Fred Grandy -- once
bought a chicken farm. A friend was astonished. "Do you know
anything about breeding chickens?" he asked. "No," the comedian
replied, "but the chickens do. ")) //
Well, you know -- as I do: Tom does deserve the credit. As
does all of Iowa. For you elected him to the House of
Representatives. And I believe you'll send him to the U.S.
Senate. Tom, I'll be back again. And for the next year I'll be
at your back -- supporting you all the way.
You've been there -- for me, and Iowa. Now, we'll be there
for you. Thank you for this wonderful evening. God bless you.
God bless the United States of America. And let's make Tom
Tauke the next Senator from the great State of Iowa.

to increase students self-awareness and awareness of others.
We will also work on expression through gestures and facial
expressions. ALL PARENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND THESE
