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

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

SUBJECT:
BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA LOCAL COLOR
THE EVENT:
The President will address 5,000 supporters at an airport
rally in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at 6:50 p.m. on Monday, November
2. This is the last stop the President will make tomorrow before
Houston.
LOCAL COLOR:
Baton Rouge International is a small, five-hangar airport
45-minutes north of Baton Rouge proper. It is in the middle of a
blue-collar neighborhood, home to many petroleum industry
employees. North Baton Rouge is all petrochemical industry.
Baton Rouge is a college town and the state capital.
Louisiana State University (the Tigers) is the backbone of the
city. The winless football team has been struggling for the last
three or four years. Perhaps more prominent is its basketball
team, which just lost super center Shaquille [Shack-EEL] O'Neal
to the NBA.
The New Orleans Saints beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers today
with a last-minute field goal for a come-from-behind victory in
New Orleans, 23-21. Saints are now tied for first in the
conference. Metaphor for the election?
ISSUES:
In a word, oil. The last time the President was in the
state, he was signing the energy bill at an oil rig in Lafayette.
The President said in Lafayette that the energy bill would create
45,000 new jobs in the oil patch. The bill would promote greater
use of natural gas by mandating the conversion of millions of
private fleet and government vehicles to alternative fuels and by
promoting the use of natural gas to generate electricity. It
will also promote domestic oil production by granting a tax break
to independent producers, as well as stress conservation and
development of energy sources other than fossil fuels.
BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA LOCAL COLOR
NOVEMBER 1, 1992
PAGE TWO
The flip side of the oil coin is the suggestion by Al Gore
that we ban offshore drilling in environmentally sensitive areas.
He was trying to pander to the Sierra Club in Santa Barbara,
California, saying that offshore drilling was a menace to the
environment. But in Louisiana, Clinton and Gore say they weren't
talking about offshore drilling in Louisiana. They are trying to
have it both ways -- again.
FAST FACTS:
Da Polls: University of New Orleans poll released last
Wednesday:
Clinton
40 %
Bush
35 % %
Margin +/- 3.7 percent
Perot
8 %
Undecided 15 %
Since 1960, Louisiana has given its electors to
Democratic Presidential candidates only once -- in
1976. The state is overwhelmingly Democrat, but more
importantly, overwhelmingly conservative.
Louisiana has been traditionally ignored by
Presidential candidates, offering only nine electoral
votes, which almost always went to the Republican
candidate. This year, the state could provide the
margin of victory. This will be the sixth visit by the
President to the state during this election year, and
the state is conscious of the attention.
Recent stumpers for the President in the state:
Marilyn Quayle, George W., Lamar Alexander, Lynn
Martin, James Watkins, Sen. Alan Simpson, Clayton
Yeutter, and Pat Buchanan.
Last weekend, the President won endorsements from the
New Orleans Times-Picayune, the Monroe News Star, and
the Lake Charles American Press. Neither of Baton
Rouge's two papers, The State Times, nor the Morning
Advocate, have endorsed a candidate.
BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA LOCAL COLOR
NOVEMBER 1, 1992
PAGE THREE
HUMOR/APPLAUSE LINES:
On Clinton and Gore trying to have it both ways on
offshore drilling: "It's a cajun waffle."
I know Shaquille O'Neal left you early for the NBA, but
I'm going to stick around for another four years.
This is THE soundbite to make the evening news. All
around the state, there is a uniform expression for
victory, taken from a TV commercial: cha-CHING! (a la
cash register). I don't know if you can coach the
President to do it, but it would certainly make
headlines. "On Tuesday night, I'll have one word for
Bill Clinton: cha-CHING!"

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

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

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