Curt got nervous. Called me at home. So here. I can't find a
direct Gore quote -- what he said exactly about leopard's

Perhaps in the text [p.5] we should change: "To quote a certain
Senator from Tennessee" to "To paraphrase a certain Senator

You decide. I have to go back and finish packing.
Have big fun today. I'll be watching for you on TV.

ISSUES
MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE FACING CONGRESS: There are many issues that
demand resolution, but the over-riding issue is the reform of the
Congress. The check bouncing, the cocaine sales in the
Congressional Post Office and the "inside control" of the House top
staff members are all symptoms of a bankrupt leadership that can no
longer be tolerated.
TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS: It is the one way to end the cycle of
incumbency and ultimately end the seniority system that rules
Congress. No member should serve more than six to eight years
maximum. That is why I am one of the Statewide Ballot Signators
for the Congressional Term Limit Initiative that will appear on the
November Ballot.
ECONOMIC PLATFORM: No nation has ever taxed itself into prosperity.
Our tax laws inhibit business expansion and therefore cost our
country jobs. We must lower long-term capital gains, and put
sensible tax credits in place for research and development of new
products. We have to work to build our economic base instead of
taxing it out of existence. Then too, is the costly problem of
over-regulation. It is imperative that we find effective ways to
markets. lower the cost of products so we can be more competitive in world
THE PEACE DIVIDEND: We should use the majority of the funds to
reduce the deficit, and the remaining for domestic renewal of our
infrastructure. Many talented people will be displaced, and these
talents can be transferred to safer air traffic, light rail, etc.
QUOTAS FOR HIRING: Quotas would cause reverse discrimination and
any sort of discrimination is unacceptable. People must be hired
on the basis of merit and ability.
UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS: Undocumented aliens are costing taxpayers in
LA County alone, $700 million. I support Congressman Dreier's bill
that would address this issue by making it a federal felony to
counterfeit an alien registration card, and by adding to the Border
Patrol generating the funding through forfeitures of cash and
property arrests. through the relative increases in drug trafficking
EDUCATION: Education is the key to change. This is a technical age
that will require a skilled work force. Education funds should be
used to build excellent trade schools where young people can learn
to use modern technology. We must also need to address the issue
of accountability for all schools.

For CONGRESS
OVERVIEW
41st CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
CALIFORNIA
This is a new, open Republican seat that we consider winnable. It was created as a result
of the re-districting after the '90 census, this new district includes suburban communities
in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernadino counties. The district is 50% Republican and
39% Democrat. Demographically, this is a middle class and affluent district with a strong
Republican vote history. Démocrats in the new 41st CD generally vote Republican and
conservative. The elements of this district have been electing Republicans to Federal and
State offices- i.e., William Dannemeyer, Jerry Lewis and David Dreier during the last
decade.
The primary Election survey commissioned by the Kim Congressional Campaign Commit-
tee revealed that Republican voters when asked, "What is the most important issue facing
the nation today?" replied (top issues):
1. Economic concerns
40%
2. Unemployment
19%
3. Budget deficit
7%
Voters in the 41st CD vote with their pocketbook. Basically the wage earners in the 41st
*
CD are high-tech, executives, managers and professionals. There are many young
married couples in new homes with both husband and wife employed. Voter registration
in this tri-county district is 68% white, 15.3% hispanic, 6.9% African-American and 2.7%
Asian. It includes eight incorporated cities.
With its strong Republican vote history, Republican nominee Jay Kim should win this new
district in November.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: KOREA-AMERICAN RALLY
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1992
Senator D'Amato, thank you for that introduction. Ladies
and gentlemen. I'm glad to be back in New York City -- that
symbol of a kinder, gentler America. //
((Recently we had a discussion at the White House about the
possible use of peacekeeping forces to quell open warfare. But
fortunately, the New York Democratic Primary finally ended. )) //
Tonight, I am honored to be at an event which speaks not of
warfare but of friendship. An event which salutes America's
STET

fastest-growing Korean community: Think of it -- more than
150,000 strong. //
In this room are people who share certain principles.
Belief in work, and self-discipline. Love of family -- as you
showed last week in your Korean Thanksgiving. Above all, faith
in God. // These principles brought your families to America.
Today, they can bring America to what is best in man.
Recently, I announced a plan which does that -- my
"Agenda for American Renewal." It seeks to open markets --
and enhance our schools, professions, and small and large
businesses. For, you see, to me growth is not a buzzword. It's
a watchword which makes America the envy of the world. //
Our agenda will achieve growth through the human heart and
will. Achieve it as you have in New York -- where nearly 12,000
2
Koreans own businesses. / You know, it's funny. I look around
and see business people. Some mom and pop / some bigger. I know
why you're here. You know progress comes not from government
doing to people -- but through people doing for themselves. //
Like many of you, I've been a businessman. Spent half my
career in the private sector -- creating jobs and meeting a
payroll --- and I had the ulcers to prove it. / What I learned
was that higher taxes and spending don't create jobs. They
destroy jobs. That's why my Agenda for American Renewal recalls
what drew you to America: Lower taxes, lower spending, and less
regulation. dollar These fundamentals can help create the world's first
$10 trillion economy by the early years of the 21st Century. //
Here's how we'll do it. First, through challenging the
world. I want to get Congressional approval of the North
American Free Trade Agreement. The reason's simple: More free
trade means more American jobs. / My opponent says America
should turn inward -- away from the world economy. You show why
we should reach out -- to Mexico, Canada, Eastern Europe, and,
yes, across the Pacific to your homeland and all of Asia. //
Think of how hard you work. You show why the American
worker competes -- and why we will win. Yet our kids must
compete, as well. That means reforming education -- higher
standards, better discipline. / We also need the other parts of
our Agenda. Sharpen business' competitive edge -- cutting
regulations that turn red tape into pink slips. / Protect
economic security -- cutting health care costs without socialized
3
medicine. / Help the poor -- and make government more
responsive. Today, government is too big and it spends too much.
Look at Jang [Jahng] Lee, who owns a Korean radio station in
Los Angeles. He knows what I mean. So does the great martial
arts instructor, Jhoon [June] Rhee -- a Daily Point of Light who
gives new meaning to those two words, "Or else. " / Then there's
an American Original who is an American Hero, Jay Kim. He came
here without a penny. Built one of America's top engineering
companies. Elected Mayor of Diamond Bar, California. Give as
often -- and as much -- as you can. We need to make Jay Kim the
first Korean-American elected to the United States Congress. //
People like these show why "Korean" is not just a name.
It's a way of life. / It means respect for law. My
Administration will not rest until we have helped any business
harmed by the Los Angeles and Chicago riots --- and made sure it
doesn't happen elsewhere. / It means knowing that family is
America's heirloom of the heart. You as a community prove that.
"Korean" means creativity, too: You know government should
reward work -- not penalize it. / I'm impressed by the fact that
Koreans invented the wheelchair, moveable type, and armored
warships. ( (What a perfect weapon for a campaign.) ) / I
sometimes wonder what might have happened had the Wright Brothers
been forced to wait for government approval before testing their
flying machine. If they had, I might have come here by
steamboat, not Air Force One. /
4
The reason Korean-Americans are Republican is that we
embrace these values. We back freedom at home. We have fought
for it abroad. It's been said that "one generation opens the
road upon which another generation travels. " / Well, today
America is opening a road I hope will lead to democracy and human
rights north of the 38th Parallel. A road of security and
economic development. And, yes, to a reunified Korea.
[[I wonder if my opponent feels the same. I suspect most of
you have heard about the letter Governor Clinton sent his draft
board. I urge all of you to read it -- because it includes some
amazing things.
[[One little-reported thing may especially interest you: In
discussing his opposition to the Viet Nam war, my opponent added
that the United States wasn't justified in drafting people to
fight in Korea. / His logic was that we shouldn't require our
citizens to fight in any war that -- and I quote -- "does not

thought 50.]] ++
DEC. 3, 1969
My opponent may not know how, to a great extent, our modern
relations with Korea date from the brutal invasion of the South
by the Communists in 1950. We do. We remember your suffering
and sacrifice. Remember how it was the United States that
successfully mobilized international resistance to the invasion.
Then -- with the generosity distinctive of America -- we
extended an open hand -- and met Korea's open heart. / We
5
rebuilt a country / began a partnership that endures / and
committed America to a Korea both safe and free. / Yes, the
threat from the North still lingers. We are worried about the
potential North Korean nuclear threat -- the consequences of
which are unthinkable. That is why we have told Pyongyang: The
path to reconciliation is the only path worth taking. /
I am hopeful about the future. I know that the Republic of
Korea is working to reduce North-South tensions -- and to unite
the 10 million Korean families now separated for 40 years. We
are giving these policies our full support. //
It is tragic that Korea is the only country still divided
since World War II. I look forward to being the first American
President to stand on reunited Korean soil. // And I believe it
will happen -- for I know what we have achieved in the last 3 and
1/2 years. Today, Imperial Communism is not just E-V-I-L -- as
Ronald Reagan told us. It is D-E-A-D. If its tyranny can
crumble -- so can the 38th Parallel. //
Freedom abroad and at home. It all comes back to
principles. Liberty. Opportunity. Love of family. Faith in
God. Koreans share these values --- as does the Republican Party
-- as does my Administration. And we always will. //
On November 3, we can uphold these values -- and carry them
to the Nation. Thank you for your kindness, and your support.
God bless you -- and the United States of America.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: KOREA-AMERICAN RALLY
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1992
Senator D'Amato, thank you for that introduction. Ladies
and gentlemen. I'm glad to be back in New York City. (Someone
asked me how it feels to be fighting for a job that someone else
wants. I said: "If I run into Ray Handley I'll ask him.")) //
It is an honor to be with leaders of America's fastest-
growing Korean community. Think of it -- more than 150,000
strong. //
In this room are people who share certain principles.
Belief in work, and self-discipline. Love of family -- as you
showed last week in your Korean Thanksgiving. Above all, faith
in country and God. // These principles brought your families to
America. Today, they can bring America to what is best in man.
Two weeks ago, I announced a plan which does that -- my
"Agenda for American Renewal." / It seeks to open markets --
create jobs -- and enhance our schools, professions, and small
and large businesses. For, you see: I believe this -- believe
it deeply. Growth is not a buzzword. It is a watchword which
makes America the envy of the world. //
Our agenda will achieve growth through the human heart and
will. Achieve it as you have in New York -- where nearly 12,000
Koreans own businesses. / You came here in search of opportunity
2
-- and you're finding it. Came to build a better life -- and are
building a better America. Not through government -- what
bureaucracy has done to America --- but entrepreneurial capitalism
-- what Korean-Americans have done for themselves. //
I look around here and see business people. Some mom and
pop / some bigger. Members of the garment industry / owners of
dry cleaning, fish and fruit, vegetable and grocery stores /
stars from high-tech to high finance. I marvel at this turnout,
and I think: Here -- truly -- I'm at home. //
Like many of you, I've been a businessman. Unlike my
opponent, I've spent half my career in the private sector --
creating jobs and meeting a payroll -- and I had the ulcers to
prove it. / I think that's a pretty good qualification to be
President -- not the ulcers! The understanding. / What I
learned in business was that higher taxes and spending don't
create jobs. They destroy jobs. //
That's why my Agenda for American Renewal builds on the
fundamentals which drew you to America: Lower taxes, lower
spending, and less regulations. / These fundamentals can make us
an economic, military, and export superpower. Let's use them to
build the world's first $10 trillion economy by the early years
of the Twenty-First Century. //
Here's how we'll do it. First, through challenging the
world. I want to get Congressional approval of the North
American Free Trade Agreement. The reason's simple: More free
trade means more American jobs. / My opponent says America
3
should turn inward -- away from the world economy. You show why
we should reach out -- to Mexico, Canada, Eastern Europe, and,
yes, across the Pacific to your homeland and all of Asia. //
Think of the hours you put in -- how hard you work. You
know why the American worker will never retreat. We will compete
-- and we will win. // We need to help our kids compete. That
means reforming education: Higher standards / better discipline
/ giving parents the right to choose kids' schools. / We need,
too, to adopt other parts of our Agenda. I want to sharpen
business' competitive edge -- cutting regulations that turn red
tape into pink slips. / I want to protect economic security --
cutting health care costs without socialized medicine. I want to
help the poor -- and to make government more responsive. Today,
government is too big and it spends too much.
Look at Jang [Jahng] Lee, who owns a Korean radio station in
Los Angeles. He knows what I mean. So does Phil Gramm's wife,
Wendy, Chairman of the Commodities Future Trading Commission. or
the great martial arts instructor, Jhoon [June] Rhee -- a Daily
Point of Light who gives new meaning to those two words, "Or
else. " /
Then there's an American Original who is an American Hero,
Jay Kim. This man came here without a penny. Built one of
America's top engineering companies. Elected Mayor of Diamond
Bar, California. Give as often -- and as much -- as you can. We
need to make Jay Kim the first Korean-American elected to the

flying machine. If they had, I might have come here by
steamboat, not Air Force One. /
The reason Korean-Americans are Republican is that we
embrace these values: We know prosperity doesn't depend on the
size of government -- but on the size of your dreams. / We back
freedom at home. We have fought for it abroad. It's been said
that "one generation opens the road upon which another generation
travels." / Well, today America is opening a road I hope will
lead to democracy and human rights north of the 38th Parallel. A
road of security and economic development. And to the
reunification of the country you love.
To some extent, our modern relations with Korea date from
the brutal invasion of the South by the Communists in 1950. I

since World War II. I look forward to being the first American

will happen -- for I know what we have achieved in the last 3 and
1/2 years. In Berlin, a wall collapsed. From Kuwait to Panama,
those once enslaved are now free. Today, Imperial Communism is
not just E-V-I-L -- as Ronald Reagan told us. It is D-E-A-D.
If its tyranny can crumble -- so can the 38th Parallel. //
Freedom abroad. Freedom at home. It all comes back to
principles. Love of liberty; and opportunity. Belief in the
6
family. Belief in God. / Koreans share these values -- as does
the Republican Party -- as does my Administration. And we always
will. //
On November 3, we can uphold these values -- and carry them
to the Nation. Thank you for your kindness, and your support.
God bless you -- and the United States of America.

STATEMENT BY SENATOR DANIEL K. INOUYE BEFORE THE COMMITTEE
ON AGRICULTURE, NUTRITION AND FORESTRY ON FEBRUARY 3, 1988.
Mr. Chairman, it is my privilege to present to my
distinguished colleagues on the Committee on Agriculture,
Nutrition and Forestry, Dr. Wendy Gramm, the President's
nominee for Chairperson of the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission. I am both proud and honored to appear with this
excellent candidate today.
Dr. Gramm currently serves as Administrator of the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at the White House Office
of Management and Budget. In this capacity, she reviews the
Administration's regulatory program and exercises oversight
authority over all federally promulgated regulations. She
is also charged with supervising paperwork reduction efforts
through coordination of federal information and statistical
policy.
Dr. Gramm holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wellesley
College and a Doctorate degree from Northwestern University,
both in economics. She joined the Texas A&M University
faculty as a professor of Economics, and later became the
Director of Undergraduate Programs for the Texas A&M
Economics Department. Dr. Gramm also worked for the Federal
Trade Commission, serving as assistant director, and then
director of its Bureau of Economics.
Her background speaks for itself. One facet of her resume
that I am very proud to bring to the Committee's attention
is her Hawaii connection. Wendy Gramm is the granddaughter
of Korean immigrants who came to Hawaii at the turn of the
century to work in the sugar fields. Her family settled in
the plantation town of Waialua on the Island of Oahu. It
was in this small town of Waialua that Wendy Gramm was born.
From her humble and proud beginnings, Wendy Gramm has
distinguished herself as a scholar and skilled
administrator, possessing integrity and a commitment to
excellence. If confirmed, she will be the first Asian woman
to be appointed to a high Executive post.
The people of Hawaii are very proud of her accomplishments.
However, Hawaii lost Wendy Gramm to the State of Texas. A
gentleman by the name of Phil Gramm came along, swept her
off her feet, and took her from Hawaii. Nonetheless,
Hawaii's residents send Wendy Gramm their aloha and best
wishes for an expeditious hearing and confirmation.
Page 2
Dr. Gramm has displayed extraordinary administrative and
intellectual capabilities. I am confident that she will
uphold the Commission's responsibility of ensuring that the
futures trading system operates in a fair and orderly
manner. Dr. Gramm's academic background in economics, and
her practical experience and knowledge of the federal
regulatory process, will aid her in protecting both the
rights of customers and the financial integrity of the
marketplace.
Mr. Chairman, and distinguished members of the Committee, it
is my privilege to present Dr. Wendy Gramm. I urge this
Committee to carefully examine her record and
accomplishments. Dr. Gramm has my full support, and I
recommend that she receive the Committee's full and fair
consideration.

D'AMATO CELEBRATES REOPENING OF LOOTED WASHINGTON HEIGHTS STORE
KOREAN IMMIGRANT FAMILY GETS SECOND CHANCE AT AMERICAN DREAM
U.S. Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato (R-NY) today joined a Korean
immigrant family to celebrate the reopening of their Washington
Heights sporting goods store, which was looted and ransacked by
rioters last month.
"The Hong family built this store up from scratch, only to
lose it all to violent looters," D'Amato stated. "Their American
dream turned into a nightmare of vandalism and destruction.
"Now, the Hongs can celebrate a second chance to rebuild
their business and piece together their shattered lives," the
Senator stated "Today's colobration is 2 living tribute to
triumph over adversity."
D'Amato joined Hwaeun Hong and his family, Dr. J.T. Kim,
President of the Korean-American Association of New York, and
other Korean-American leaders at the KP Original Sporting Goods
store for the reopening celebration.
D'Amato also stated that the federal Small Business
Administration (SBA) is consulting with Chemical Bank to
determine whether any additional assistance is available. One
approach might include the SBA guaranteed loan program, under
which the federal agency guarantees up to 85% of the loan in the
event of default.

assistance and support. We are looking forward to filling up our
shelves and running our small family business again." Hong noted
that 35%-40% of his store's annual revenues are earned during the
current back-to-school season.
During the early morning hours of July 7th, looters smashed
into the store, and quickly stole about $700,000 worth of
merchandisc.
Hong opened the store in 1984, five years after he emigrated
to the United States from Korea. Hong, his wife Hyun, and their
children Robert, Thomas and Albert all worked at the store.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 17, 1992
The President today recognized Jhoon Rhee of Arlington, Virginia,
as the 721st Daily Point of Light for the Nation. Mr. Rhee, a
long-time martial arts instructor, helps Washington-area youth
develop good character and values.
Mr. Rhee, 60, has been a martial arts instructor in the United
States for over 30 years. Although his methods are similar to
most tae kwan do and karate masters, his style and objectives are
unique. As a philosopher and teacher, Mr. Rhee volunteers two
hours a week at seven area elementary schools, promoting and
teaching the basic elements of martial arts: concentration,
respect, and discipline. Adhering to these qualities helps young
people become better students.
Mr. Rhee sees martial arts as a means to an end, which is to
instill in young people self-confidence, strong values, and good
habits. By teaching them to develop positive attitudes, to
motivate themselves, to make responsible choices, and to
concentrate on learning, he helps them become more accountable
for their actions and more respectful of themselves, their
parents, teachers, and friends.
Mr. Rhee's instruction focuses initially on the physical, mental,
and emotional fitness of first grade students. It then follows
their progress through elementary school, fostering individual
growth and development. Mr. Rhee has shared his knowledge and
philosophy with youngsters attending Amidon, Bowen, Wilkinson,
Brookland, Clark, Ft. Lincoln, and Raymond elementary schools.
The President salutes Jhoon Rhee for exemplifying his belief
that, "From now on in America, any definition of a successful
life must include serving others." "

White House News Summary
Friday, September 18, 1992
2:00 P.M. NEWS UPDATE
WEAPONS TESTING/SENATE (AP) -- Taking aim at President Bush's
policy on nuclear weapons testing, the Senate voted to curb the
underground explosions and to end them entirely four years from
now. Senators voted 55-40 for a plan pushed by Sens. Hatfield,
Exon, and Mitchell, that has drawn strong protests from the White
House. The plan would place a nine-month moratorium on nuclear
weapons tests beginning next month, put strict limits on subsequent
tests, then impose a total ban beginning Oct. 1, 1996. The ban
would be waived if Russia resumes testing after that date.
CHENEY/NO-FLY ZONE (London/Reuter) -- Secretary Cheney cautioned
against speculation that Western powers were ready to enforce a no-
fly zone over Bosnia-Hercegovina, calling it a "sideshow" that
could do little to end the civil war there. "There is a lot of
interest and talk about a no-fly zone, but it is a bit of a
sideshow compared to the bigger problem" of how to bring a
political solution to the bloodshed in former Yugoslavia, Cheney
said. In an interview with newspaper executives and reporters
Cheney suggested strongly that any decision on how to enforce a no-
fly zone, which has not been declared by the U.N., was not close
because of preoccupation in Britain with a domestic economic crisis
and in France with Sunday's vote on European unity.
NAFTA (Reuter) -- A U.S. trade official said President Bush may
formally notify Congress as early as Friday of the signing of the
proposed North American Free Trade Agreement. That would launch
the 90-day period for Congress to help prepare legislation on the
pact, the official said. "If Bush is re-elected, it would probably
be May or June before they vote on it, and if he's not it would
probably take longer," a Senate aide said.
GONZALEZ/ETHICS (AP) -- The House refused to demand an ethics
investigation of Rep. Gonzalez for revealing classified information
on the Bush Administration's prewar dealings with Iraq. By a 216-
150 vote on straight party lines, the House tabled a resolution by
Rep. Combest, to request an ethics committee investigation of
Gonzalez.
NORTH KOREA/NUCLEAR (Seoul/AP) -- International inspections
indicate the threat from North Korean nuclear development is less
ominous than feared a year ago, U.S. Amb. Donald Gregg said in
comments that could ease tensions. "It is now clear from what we
have learned from the IAEA inspections that whatever it was that
the North Koreans were doing in terms of a nuclear program, it was
not as advanced as we feared," Gregg told the Korean Newspaper
Editors Association.
CLINTON/PBS (AP) -- Eight minutes of remarks by Bill Clinton have
been cut from a television special on black and Hispanic voters
because President Bush would not appear, PBS said. Jennifer
Lawson, executive vice president for programming, said Clinton's
remarks had not been well integrated into the program and that one
candidate without the other on the special would be inappropriate.
The special is part of a two-part program titled "Voices of the
Electorate."

Notes:
The Korean-American community is, overall, economically
cohesive and strong. It is intensely Christian. Still largely
a first generation group on the East Coast, its second
generation (and sometimes third) is now in universities or
beginning careers. It remains interested in Korean politics,
but its "loyalties" are split between Roh's ruling party and
the opposition, with the edge going to the latter. The
community's confidence in its future was shaken badly by the LA
riot, but seems to be gradually returning. There is interest
in peninsular unification and security issues, but this is not
as intense as it sometimes appears. We get far more letters on
human rights issues, for instance. The interests of the Korean-
American community can probably be ranked as follows:
its own financial security and well-being, especially
with regard to its ability to provide a top-quality
education to its children;
its safety (crime) ;
Korean economic development;
Korean democracy and human rights;
Korean security;
peaceful unification.

HEADLINE: KOREA'S BIG PUSH HAS JUST BEGUN
BYLINE: by Louis Kraar; REPORTER ASSOCIATE Alan Farnham
BODY:
AS YOU DOUBTLESS have noticed on shopping trips, South Korea has burst into
U.S. markets like a hungry tiger. The Koreans are underpricing the Japanese on
everything from steel to TVs, VCRs, cars, and computers. A Goldstar VCR goes for
as little as $200, about $50 less than the cheapest rival from Japan. The sporty
Hyundai Excel, at a base price of $5, 195, induces reverse sticker shock. A flood
of cheap IBM PC clones has swamped both IBM and Japanese imports. And Korea
makes steel for $23 in labor costs per metric ton, compared with $132 in Japan
and $164 in the U.S.
What's more, the big push has just begun. Korean automakers are gearing up to
export more than a million cars within four years, mainly to North America. In
consumer electronics the Koreans are out to triple world market share to nearly
7% by the year 2000. (They already have 17% of the American color TV market.)
Manufacturers of VCRs and microwave ovens are pushing into semiconductors. IBM,
among others, is already buying Korean memory chips.
Their success so far has surprised even the cocky Koreans. Exports surged 18%
in 1986 to a record $36 billion, giving the country a $3.5-billion trade
surplus, its first in modern times. Economic growth, which slipped a bit in
1985, is back on a fast track. Koreans are dreaming of transforming their small
country into an advanced industrial power, a mini-West Germany with a standard
of living as high as any in Western Europe. It is not an impossible goal. If
South Korea, with 41.5 million people, were a European nation, it would rank
just behind France in population. At $2,300 a year, per capita income already
about equals that of Portugal.
But some large clouds are drifting over this sunny landscape. Korea's
strategy of high growth driven by exports has already provoked a protectionist
backlash in Washington and the European Economic Community. At home
demonstrators are fitfully trying to replace an unpopular authoritarian regime
with a more representative government. President Chun Doo Hwan, 55, has promised
to step down before the 1988 Olympics. But he keeps sending head-cracking police
into crowds of protesters who don't like the way he proposes to do it:
parliamentary elections rather than a direct presidential vote. Korea has never
had a peaceful transfer of power. When Chun, an army general, took over in a
coup in 1980, the turmoil clobbered the economy for a year. On top of all that,
South Korea still faces an implacably hostile Communist regime to the north.
Meanwhile, the economy rolls on. Only three decades ago South Korea was a
war-scarred land of mostly poor farmers. By borrowing to the hilt for investment
Korea's $45-billion foreign debt rivals that of Latin America's champion

borrowers -- and by working longer hours than the Japanese, the Koreans created
the most dynamic Asian economy after Japan's. Much of the country's competitive
edge comes from a potent old culture: Koreans invented movable type before
Gutenberg and introduced armored warships in the 16th century:
Though restive for political change, the country's people are steeped in
Confucian respect for authority, passionate about education, and boundlessly
ambitious. Highly motivated workers - including many macho youths who shun
protective goggles while welding - put in long hours for a fraction of the pay
their counterparts get in the U.S. or Japan. Labor costs for auto workers, for
example, total about $3 an hour, V5. $18 in Japan and $24 in the U.S. The big
conglomerates such as Hyundai and Daewoo, called chaebol , rank among the
largest manufacturing companies in the world. An American business executive in
Seoul says with only slight hyperbole, "The whole country, in effect, is one
organization and runs on government-controlled credit. To create jobs and
service the national debt, companies have got to grow."
KOREANS SEE the Seoul Olympics as a showcase for their rapid progress. The
Tokyo games in 1964 served a similar purpose for a resurging Japan. "The
Olympics will show what kind of country this is," says Koo Cha-Hak, 56, chairman
of Lucky Goldstar Group. Then he adds, "And the games will improve the brand
image of our products." While in the global spotlight next year, Korea intends
to launch a national pension plan and a minimum wage system. Within 13 years,
according to a detailed development plan, Korea is determined to be among the
world's ten largest trading nations, up from 13th now.
Much of the economy's recent bounce comes from what Korean leaders call the
three blessings - lower oil prices, lower worldwide interest rates, and a
currency that is weak against the Japanese yen. The Korean won is tied roughly
to a basket of world currencies, though the finance ministry won't say which
ones. Obviously there are a lot of dollars bouncing around in the basket; when
the dollar plummeted against the yen, the won went down too. Since September
1985 the won has dropped about 40% against the yen, giving Korea a huge
advantage over Japan in the U.S. market.
The Koreans made the most of it, pouring 40% of their exports into America.
When the U.S. responded with tough protectionist talk, they professed to be
surprised - and hurt. Koreans are emotional about trade issues. They still see
themselves as relatively poor dependents of the U.S. and take American
protectionism personally - as one U.S. businessman puts it, "like betrayal by a
big brother.' The Koreans have a point. Their economy is only 6% of Japan's.
Skyscrapers in Seoul resemble those in Tokyo, but the Korean capital is still
laced with narrow lanes and humble cottages like a village. In the countryside
some 20% of homes lack running water. Moreover, Korea has a heavy defense burden
(6% of its GNP VS. about 1% in Japan) as well as that big foreign debt.
And Korea has stumbled before. In the 1970s the government subsidized heavy
industry, creating some costly white elephants. The treasury is still quietly
supporting a $5-billion bailout of ailing shipping and overseas construction
firms. As one technocrat admits, "The government has not been good at picking
winning industries."
Koreans are also quick to point out that their $7.1-billion trade surplus
with the U.S. is just 4% of the total American trade deficit. Japan accounts for
35%. Says Nam Duck Woo, 62, chairman of the Korean Traders Association: "In

HEADLINE: INVENTORS FLAUNT WARES AT TOKYO GENIUS SHOW
BYLINE: By James Kynge
DATELINE: TOKYO, Oct 14
KEYWORD:
JAPAN-INVENTOR
BODY:
Self-proclaimed geniuses from three continents converged here on Friday to
flaunt inventions capable of everything from detecting fake money to silencing
chronic snorers.
Tokyo's second World Genius Convention unveiled a few gadgets for the first
time and drew 46 inventors, some of whom said life was more fun beyond the realm
of sanity than within it.
Probably the greatest brain of them all was Japanese organizer Dr Yoshiro
Nakamats who rented his esteemed colleagues their exhibition spaces for around
$775 for the nine-day show, a spokesman said.
Nakamats had no new brainchildren on show this year but he did relate a novel
way of thinking - underwater.
"It is a recent idea to do my thinking while swimming underwater," said
Nakamats, who says he jots down memos on a waterproof pad.
"It is like space, no gravity. There is more pressure so the blood goes to
your head," added the lecturer at Japan's prestigious Tokyo University, who says
he invented the floppy disc.
Shin Kyun Suk, chairman of the Korean Invention Society, unveiled a
pocket-sized gadget for detecting counterfiet banknotes.
"It can verify notes From over 50 countries. It can do notes from all
developed countries," he said.
A red light goes on if the note is genuine, while a green light means it is a
forgery, he says.
Taiwan's Huang Chuan-Chih, who last year pioneered a talking toilet seat,
displayed a new variation on that theme.
This seat has a gadget to catch and test urine that is capable of instantly
diagnosing a collection of kidney-related ailments, his assistant said.
Mexico's Margarita Ponce, a poet who said it was fun to be a little bit
crazy, was selling a tape of music and poetry designed to transform even the

creatively lame into poets, of sorts.
Most inventors had a gimlet eye for business. Japan's Nichimen Corporation
said a U.S. store had ordered 100,000 of its anti-snoring pillows.
"It completely stops snoring with 95 percent of people," said George Sekiya,
Nichimen's sales adviser.
The pillow rocks gently from side to side when a microphone picks up a
succession of grunts. That cures snoring, said Sekiya.
But the invention is powerless against unruly sleepers who discard their
pillows in the night.

To carve out its niche, Alenax now plans to emphasize the transbar as a
fitness bicycle - less stress on the knees, better exercise of certain muscles.
With that in mind, the company has begun searching for an academic expert to
validate the fitness claims about the transbar system.

A Bicycle Easy to Ride, Hard to Sell
BYLINE: By WILLIAM STOCKTON
BODY:
FOR more than a century, people have been propelling bicycles by pushing
pedals round and round so that a gear turns a chain connected to a wheel. This
system is, to say the least, an example of an entrenched technology, something
that works well and that most people see no need to change.
The Alenax Corporation has been painfully learning about entrenched
technologies in recent years as it tries to market a bicycle with a new concept
- a design that involves pushing pedals up and down. Its transbar system has not
taken the world by storm, as the company had hoped five years ago when it was
formed.
''Deep down, most people are conservative, said Richard Chey, Alenax's head
of sales and marketing. 'We've learned just how hard it is to take something
and say that it's better than what has been around for a hundred years or
more.
At first glance, the mechanically minded can see the transbar system's
simplicity and potential advantages. As one foot pushes a pedal downward, the
other pedal rises, ready for another downward stroke. Each pedal is connected by
a separate chain to the hub on the rear wheel. As the pedals seesaw, the chains
propel the bicycle.
Less motion From the legs is required and less energy is wasted in the new
pedal system. The arms on which the pedals are mounted are longer, so the added
leverage gives more power per stroke. The rider can choose to move the pedals
through their full range, or seesaw them up and down only a few inches.
The transbar idea was conceived 15 years ago by Marn T. Seol, a Korean
inventor. He sold his idea to Byung D. Yim, a Korean entrepreneur, who brought
it to the United States early in this decade. But despite determined marketing
and a sheaf of enthusiastic news clippings spawned by the notion of a better
mousetrap, Alenax has sold fewer than 5,000 of the machines, and Mr. Chey
ruefully tells of the company's struggle to survive while trying to introduce
what it is convinced is a better technology.
Older and wiser now, Alenax speaks of the transbar system complementing the
entrenched technology. ''We have to educate the consumer, Mr. Chey said. ''We
want him to see that the conventional bicycle is good for many people, but that
for others the transbar will be better.

Does the self-extinguishing cigarette have a future?
At least one man, South Korean inventor Lee Seong Yoo, believes SO. He
thinks this may be the biggest thing to hit the smokers' market since the match.
And like dozens of ideas men from all over the world who gathered for a sort
of inventors' world congress here this week, Mr Lee also hopes his discovery
will be just as profitable.
How does the self-extinguishing cigarette work - and who needs it? These
were the questions put to Mr Lee, a man of few words.
He lit a cigarette and after taking a puff or two stubbed it out in an
ordinary ashtray. He wrinkled his nose. "Dirty," he said. "Bad smell. When
extinguished on ground, bad for nature.
"This better," he added while lighting one of his own special cigarettes,
inhaling twice and gently squeezing the filter.
"Now feel ash," he invited. The ash was stone cold. The trick is a thin
tube rolled from tobacco in the middle of the cigarette, through which a small
jet of liquid is squeezed from a sack.
Mr Lee says the machine needed to roll his cigarette costs 5,650 dollars and
that his own country's tobacco industry already has taken up his idea.
"Mr Lee not engineer," explained one of his smiling colleagues. "He is just
simple inventor." The description seemed to fit many of the people around, who
had stumbled into inventing almost by accident.
Prizewinners at the international exhibition included a retired Australian
Navy officer, a Swiss ex-civil servant, a former British parachutist and an
Armenian guitar teacher. The only thing they have in common is their compulsion
to dream up new gadgets, mainly for profit, but also for pleasure.
There's everything here from a toilet for cats to a fearsome-looking machine
capable of eviscerating 300 pigs an hour, a French invention that took the Grand
Prix for 1980.

The inventor of popular legend is an absent-minded professor. The reality is
more varied.
Australia's bluff and cheery Pat Williams, for example, spent 40 years in the
navy, designed an antisubmarine boom in 1944 and has been inventing ever since.
He won a gold medal here two years ago for a revolutionary new metal nut, for
which he still is bargaining over manufacturing rights. This year he won a
special World Health Organization (WHO) award for his fiberglass stretcher.
He also exhibited an adjustable ladder that you can stand on a staircase or
steep slope, is easy to fix, cheap (about 20 dollars) and looks like a home
handyman's dream.
"I think of new discoveries in the middle of the night," he said. "I have to
get up and write them down before I forget." His wife added: "I was getting
woken up too often, so he invented something with which he could write in the
dark."
Ex-paratrooper John Harris was already a property tycoon in Britain when
having his Rolls-Royce stolen made him remember a pub conversation with a
"retired" car thief who told him: "There's a fortune waiting for the man who can
stop our little game."
The ex-thief said the best thing would be to mark all the car windows, which
are extremely difficult and expensive to replace. Mr Harris' company developed
a technique of airblasting registration numbers on the glass.
The service now has become big business in Britain and after winning a silver
medal here for security devices the company hopes to sell the rights profitably
worldwide.
In his English-cut tweed suit, genial John Russell looks the country squire
rather than the inventor. But he won the gold medal in the environment
protection class with his "airsweep" dust filter, a sort of enclosed fan which
looks like a Scandinavian-style lamp and already is used in hospital operating
theaters and pubs alike.
Mr Russell, too, changed careers in middle age after spending most of his
life in the animal health field.
The one inventor who fully fits the classic pattern was nowhere to be seen,
despite the admirers crowding around his minibicycle, which folds up without
lifting it from the ground and can be hoisted with one hand into a car trunk or
back seat.
The Soviet delegation, exhibiting here for the first time, was also keenly
interested in the same inventor's novel pump, with only three revolving parts,
and hinted at large-scale purchases.
But Russell John Searle had decided to go off to the Alps. A British
colleague said: "He suddenly took off days ago, saying he couldn't be bothered.
That's a brilliant little pump and the Russians are crazy about it. But that's
the way he is. The original model of the English boffin."

HEADLINE: KOREA ALREADY CELEBRATING ITS 1988 OLYMPIC 'COMING OF AGE'
BODY:
No country confounds American business travelers more than Korea, which has
risen to become important in international trade in the last decade. So we've
prepared a short guide for the increasing number of business travelers headed
for Korea.
No sooner had it been announced (early in 1983) that Seoul was the choice
for the 1988 Summer Olympics than Club '88 and like-named bars sprang up almost
spontaneously across the city. In the 2 1/2 years since, popular enthusiasm and
official support for the Games have not waned one iota.
In a city and country that overcame nearly total devastation during the
Korean War (which ended in 1953) to become a world leader in shipbuilding,
textiles, electronics, automobile work, petrochemicals, machinery manufacturing
and more, the games are viewed as quasi-official recognition of world status.
Seoul views 1988 as the date of its coming-of-age party.
So right now, most of what is going on in this city of 10 million, the
world's sixth largest metropolis, is directly related to feverish preparations
for the Games. Seoul is spending $1.6 billion on facilities for competition,
housing and training, and another $1.35 billion on improving the city's
sanitation, communication and transportation systems.
Add extensive hotel construction, new park land and improvements at the
airport and you get an idea of the intense excitement the Olympics has created.
Seoul is a city ready for world attention, and every visitor benefits.
DOING BUSINESS
Although Koreans are probably the most "Westernized" businesspeople in the
Orient, certain formalities still pertain. Introductions include handshaking and
the immediate exchange of business cards (preferably printed in both English and
Korean).
A Korean businessman is not to be addressed by his first name; use his
surname plus either "Mr." or his business title "Director," "Deputy Manager,"
"Professor," etc. Koreans prefer this partly because their strictly structured
society pays close attention to the status imparted by titles and partly because
it lessens confusion in a nation where half the population has the surname of
Kim, Lee or Park. Surnames, incidentally, come first in Korean; the president of
Korea is Chun Doo Hwan, known as President Chun.
