MEETING WITH BIPARTISAN CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP
DATE:
March 20, 1990
LOCATION:
Cabinet Room
TIME:
10:00 a.m. (60 minutes)
FROM:
Frederick D. McClure 7m
I.
PURPOSE
To meet with the bipartisan Congressional leadership
and key committee members to discuss your supplemental
appropriations request and other issues.
II.
BACKGROUND
You have requested supplemental appropriations for
FY 1990 in the amounts of $500 million for Panama and
$300 million for Nicaragua, to aid each country's
transition to a healthy democracy. You have also
requested $70 million in emergency assistance for
refugees. Last week you asked Congress to expedite
consideration of your request and complete action by
April 5. Another issue you may wish to discuss is
Congressional earmarking. This follows logically from
a discussion of our requested supplemental, in that if
we had more flexibility in existing national security
accounts, such supplementals might not be necessary.
Finally, the statutorily-required report entitled,
"National Security Strategy of the United States: 1990"
will be issued by the Administration today, and should
be mentioned.

TALKING POINTS ON THE
NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY REPORT
--
TODAY I AM FORWARDING TO THE CONGRESS A REPORT
ON THE NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY OF THE
UNITED STATES.
--
THIS REPORT COMES AT A TIME WHEN THE
INTERNATIONAL LANDSCAPE IS MARKED BY CHANGE
THAT IS TRULY BREATHTAKING IN ITS CHARACTER,
SCOPE AND PACE. IT IS A TIME OF GREAT HOPE,
WHEN FREE PEOPLES RIGHTLY CELEBRATE THE MARCH
TOWARD DEMOCRACY THAT THEIR EFFORTS HAVE
HELPED BRING ABOUT.
:
OUR SECURITY STRATEGY REFLECTS THESE CHANGES
AND JOINS IN THESE HOPES, BUT -- AS IT MUST BE
-- IT IS GROUNDED IN REALISM. EVEN IN A NEW
ERA, UNCERTAINTIES AND DANGERS STILL THREATEN
AMERICAN LIVES, INTERESTS AND VALUES.
CARD 2 OF 2
-- OUR STRATEGY FOR THIS NEW ERA CONTAINS
CONTINUITIES AND CHANGES AS WE DEVELOP
POLICIES THAT ALLOW US TO BOTH SHAPE AND
RESPOND TO THE FAST MOVING DEVELOPMENTS WE ARE
SEEING.
:
WITH THE PUBLICATION OF THIS REPORT, I ONCE
AGAIN CALL ON CONGRESS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
TO JOIN WITH ME IN BUILDING A SECURITY
STRUCTURE WORTHY OF THE OPPORTUNITIES AND
CHALLENGES THAT LAY BEFORE US.

For Immediate Release
March 20, 1990
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
TO BIPARTISAN CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP
The Cabinet Room
10:05 A.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: What I wanted to say is that what I want
to talk about today is Panama and Nicaragua. The changes there are
dramatic in terms of democracy. Yesterday I was asked about Cuba
and, of course, I'm terribly disappointed that Castro seems to be
firming up his totalitarian position instead of moving towards the
free and fair elections -- what I think all of us here would like to
see. I'd like to see him shift from that highly militarized island
and let democracy have a chance.
But I think if we are helpful to Nicaragua and Panama, it
will simply increase the pressure in that marvelous island of Cuba
for change. And so this is what I'd like to talk about today. And I
know that the Senate and House are going to come to grips with this
problem. But this is the agenda and then anything else that's on you
all's mind.
Q
Mr. President, are you worried that Gorbachev might
make some move on Lithuania?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I'm glad that they're still talking
peaceful change. That's essential and they've been very good about
it -- the Soviets have all through Eastern Europe. And that's what
everybody wants to see is a peaceful evolution in Lithuania. And --
Q
Then you don't think he will?
THE PRESIDENT: -- so that's the way it is. And I've
learned not to go into a lot of hypothesis on this -- a lot of
hypothetical questions. I'm sure every member here has asked
questions on this subject. And we want to see democracy and freedom.
We want to see self-determination. And we also want to see peaceful
evolution. And that is in the interest of Eastern Europe as they
begin to solidify their democracy. And so that would be my appeal.
And the second one would be please don't ask me any more hypothetical
questions because I don't want to get --
Q
But it's not a hypothetical. Have you been in
contact with Gorbachev on this question?
THE PRESIDENT: Previously, yes.
THE PRESS: Thank you.

DATE:

LOCATION: The Oval Office
TIME:
11:30 a.m.
FROM:
James R. Wray
I.
PURPOSE
To demonstrate support for Clayton Williams, Republican
nominee for Governor of Texas.
II.
BACKGROUND
On March 13, 1990, Clayton Williams scored a resounding
primary victory in his bid to become the next Governor
of Texas. Williams won over 60% of the record number
of Republican votes cast. His closest competitor, Kent
Hance, collected a mere 15% of the vote.
A newcomer to Texas politics, Williams surprised many
with his victory over better known Republican
candidates. Williams poured over 5 million dollars of
his personal money into the primary race, far
outspending his opponents. Williams is expected to
raise more outside money for the fall, but will not
hesitiate to spend his own if necessary.
Williams will face the winner of the Democratic run-off
election to be held on April 10, 1990. State Treasurer
Ann Richards and Attorney General Jim Mattox are waging
one of the most brutal and negative campaigns in
America for their party's nomination. The race is a
toss up at this point, but the eventual nominee is
expected to be badly damaged as a result.
Williams is considered the front runner in the general
election, and is hoping to combine his popularity with
U.S. Senator Phil Gramm to make significant Republican
inroads in November.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
DURING SIGNING CEREMONY
COMMEMORATING THE 169TH ANNIVERSARY
OF GREEK INDEPENDENCE DAY
The Roosevelt Room
11:53 A.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Let me just say here -- and one,
apologies because we're running a couple of minutes late. But it is
a great, great pleasure for me to welcome His Eminence, Archbishop
Iakavos, friend to everybody in this room, back to the White House.
And I'm pleased to see him looking so well.
Mr. Ambassador, we're just delighted to have you here,
sir. It's most fitting and most appropriate. And to Secretary
Derwinski and distinguished members of Congress that are here with us
today, and friends of Greece, welcome.
It's my pleasure to just sign this proclamation marking
the 169th anniversary of Greek independence in 1821. And I hardly
need to tell this row of powerful hitters here about America's ties
to Greece. You know the admiration that our Founding Fathers had for
ancient Greece. The evidence is there. It's in our own
Constitution. And the evidence is there in the letters our Founding
Fathers exchanged with one-another in charting the course for
American democracy.
They were all schooled in ancient Greek, and they were
all schooled in Greek democracy. And you know, too, the role that so
many Americans played in championing the independence of modern
Greece in the last century. And this is a time for recalling the
roots of our common past and a time for rejoicing in the rebirth of
Greek democracy in 1974.
And it's a time, too, for noting the rich contributions
so many sons and daughters of Greece -- some of them in this room
today have made to the success of our own democracy. And as
Greeks prepare to go to the polls on April 8th, we join with them in
affirming our common devotion to liberty, to democracy, and to
independence.
So now let me sign the proclamation formally designating
March 25th, 1990 as Greek Independence Day -- a national day of
celebration of Greek and American democracy.
(The proclamation is signed.) (Applause.)

SOUTH LAWN TREE PLANTING CEREMONY
Tuesday, March 20, 1990
3:00 P.M.
South Lawn
From:
Roger B. Porter
R&P
I. PURPOSE
To transmit your "National Tree Trust Act of 1990" to
Congress. This proposal will help forge new
partnerships between individuals, businesses,
governments, and community organizations with the goal
of planting one billion trees a year across America.
The effort will depend on public awareness and
participation.
II. BACKGROUND
The "National Tree Trust Act of 1990" has two
components: first, it authorizes the President to
designate a new private nonprofit tree-planting
foundation to receive Federal funds through a one-time
$35 million grant. Second, it authorizes the Secretary
of Agriculture to provide increased financial and
technical assistance to State forestry agencies and
others ($175 million annually) for the purpose of
encouraging owners of nonindustrial private lands to
plant and maintain trees and improve forests in urban
and rural areas. These two components are designed to
stimulate the planting of one billion trees a year.
The National Tree Trust, the private non-profit
foundation which will be established shortly, will
promote public awareness and a spirit of volunteerism;
encourage private sector contributions; and oversee the
use of these contributions to encourage tree planting
projects in America's communities.
These tree planting activities are a key part of your
America the Beautiful initiative, which addresses the
protection, conservation, and enhancement of America's
natural resources.

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT THE SIGNING CEREMONY OF
NATIONAL AGRICULTURE DAY PROCLAMATION
The Roosevelt Room
3:50 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Secretary, I'm delighted to see you
here. And these distinguished members of the Congress, welcome to
the White House. I'm pleased to be standing next to Clayton Yeutter;
glad to see Senator Lugar, Senator Leahy, Chairman de la Garza, and
welcome. And I'm also pleased to see so many leaders of our key
national agricultural organizations as I appear officially to prepare
officially to designate this Agriculture Day -- National Agriculture
Day.
And I'm grateful to the farm broadcasters for giving me
this opportunity to talk directly to American farmers and ranchers --
those Americans whose everyday work, work the soil -- the world's
most successful agricultural nation.
American agriculture is a vital resource for the world.
People around the globe share in our harvests and our prayers for
bountiful crops each year. And the unparalleled productivity of our
farmers and ranchers makes American agriculture our greatest export
earner, putting a positive balance of $17 billion into the U.S.
balance of trade account last year.
Farm families embody what's good in America. They
express it in the way they live and in the diligence that they apply
to their craft. The spirit of rural America is found in family
entrepreneurs running their own businesses. Farm and ranch families
willing to reach across the fence to help a neighbor. Wives,
husband, children pitching in as a team to reap nature's harvest.
This administration is committed to keeping American
agriculture strong. And we are committed to working with the
Congress and with you, America's agricultural leaders, to provide
1990 farm legislation that gives you the management freedom and
planting flexibility to run your farms at peak efficiency.
Our farm bill proposal increases market orientation,
improves our international competitiveness, and addresses those
environmental challenges out there. Our proposal emphasizes
production flexibility to allow farmers to respond more readily to
market forces in making their production and marketing decisions.
We will do our part to continue aggressive agricultural
research and we will encourage new and alternative commercial uses
for ag products. And I will rely heavily on the man right here, on
Clayton Yeutter to be my chief negotiator with the Congress on the
farm bill. But I also would be remiss if I didn't tell you I would
be relying on you and your organizations to help us pass a good, fair
farm bill.
Through sound fiscal policies and wise management of our
resources and, God willing, good weather, rural America and American
agriculture will stay strong through the '90s and beyond.
And so now I am pleased to sign a formal proclamation
MORE
- 2 -
designating March 20, 1990 as National Agriculture Day. And I'd like
to ask the two chairmen and Dick Lugar, if you would, Senator Lugar,
Senator Leahy. Congressman de la Garza to join the Secretary and me.
(The proclamation is signed.)
Thank you all very much for coming. And I really mean
it. We're going to need your help. And we're working with very
reasonable people in the United States Congress -- I know Clayton and
I talked about this -- we're grateful for that. But it is important
that we get a good market-oriented bill. I think we can do it. And
with you all's help, I'm sure we can do it.
Thank you very much. (Applause.)
