THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 6, 1989 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT FROM: DEBRA ANDERSON DEPUTY ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS SUBJECT: TRAVEL TO BALTIMORE, MARYLAND I. Summary During your trip to Baltimore, Maryland, you will be the keynote luncheon speaker at the 25th Biennial Convention of the National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) and will also participate in a staff photo-opportunity with members of the group. II. Discussion A. Economy The economy in Maryland is very strong. The unemploy- ment rate is between 4 and 5 percent. However, in the Appalachian Region, unemployment is 9 percent. There was a major dispute in Maryland over what to do with the state's $400 million budget surplus. Governor Schaefer wanted to expand programs to help Maryland's neediest citizens, however, the legislature passed a tax reduction of $7 per taxpayer, over the Governor's objections. B. Drugs New anti-drug laws passed by the legislature are having an impact in the state. These laws deal with property forfeiture and drug kingpins. In the next session of the General Assembly, Governor Schaefer will re-introduce legislation concerning the use of drugs. Legislation on drug users failed in the last session of the General Assembly. The Governor will be hosting a "summit" of sorts on the drug issue this coming November. Although the Legislature is out of session until January, the Governor is calling together all state and local officials as well as community leaders of local subdivisions to discuss various alternatives to solving the drug problem. It is anticipated that preliminary results of this summit could be included in upcoming initiatives by the Governor and the State Legislature. The rise in drug arrests has significantly increased the state's prison population beyond capacity. The situation has prompted Governor Schaefer to accelerate the state's long-term prison construction program. In a related issue, the Prince George's County Sheriff's Office made a significant drug bust this week. During the serving of a routine eviction notice, the Sheriff's deputies discovered 6.5 kilos of powdered cocaine and crack estimated to have a street value of close to $1 million. In addition to the drugs, sizable sums of cash were confiscated. One arrest was made. C. Education Education is an issue gaining considerable concern in the state, especially in the Baltimore City area, due to what state leaders call a "lack of quality," and they are also calling for an equalization of funding. The Governor's initiative on the education problem, the Sondheim Commission, proposes an accreditation system requiring the schools themselves to pass periodic inspections and has also proposed a revision in the standardized testing methods that are required of the 690,000 public school students in Maryland. Earlier this fall, Congressional Democrats visited Roosevelt High School in Prince Georges County to announce the "Democratic plan to improve and reinvigorate America's schools. The Congressional delegation included, among others, Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell, House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Senator Edward M. Kennedy. D. Environment Bainbridge Naval Base -- The Bainbridge Naval Station has been closed. However, the Navy has not cleaned up the environmental problems at the base. These problems include 450 buildings containing asbestos and a leaking landfill that is contaminating ground water. Until the Navy does take care of these problems, the site cannot be accessed by the federal government. Moreover, the state and local government cannot purchase the site or plan for attracting new economic development to the area. A clean-up of the Bainbridge site may revitalize Governor Schaefer's desire for an auto racetrack in the state.
