June 21, 1990
DOMESTIC POLICY COUNCIL MEETING
DATE:
Friday, June 22, 1990
LOCATION:
Cabinet Room
TIME:
10:00 A.M.
FROM:
Ede Holiday GAA
I. PURPOSE
Two briefings will be presented at the Domestic Policy
Council meeting: 1) a briefing by the Attorney General on
violent crime and savings and loan enforcement; and 2) a
status report from Director Bennett on the implementation of
the National Drug Control Strategy.
II. BACKGROUND
The Administration has devoted substantial resources and
effort to combatting violent crime and fighting financial
institution fraud. We are now beginning to hear good
results from the front lines in our war on drugs. Crime and
drug issues also have dominated the public debate and will
continue to be important.
The Department of Justice has prepared a report assessing
the Administration's progress and the status of current
initiatives, including your legislative crime package, and
savings and loan enforcement efforts.
Bill Bennett will report on the progress being made on drug
control and on implementation of your National Drug Control
Strategy. Some preliminary data suggest that the drug
problem may have peaked and that progress is being made.
Casual use is down, drug availability may be starting to
decline, and the price of cocaine is up while purity is
declining.
Because of the attention paid to these issues during the
last presidential campaign, the question of our stewardship
will likely be raised as part of the 1990 election debate.
This meeting is designed to provide you and the Cabinet with
a focused analysis of the nature of the problem, the
solutions we've proposed, and the results to date.
III. PARTICIPANTS
The entire Cabinet has been invited to this meeting of the
Domestic Policy Council. See attached participants list.
IV. PRESS PLAN
White House photographer only.

mandate for continued Republican leadership, several
issues dominated the public debate. This morning we
are going to review our progress on two of those
national problems: crime and drugs.
I see this morning's meeting as an interim review of
where we were, where we are now and where we're
going with our policies on these subjects.
2
And since Dick Thornburgh is my "commanding
general" in this war and Bill Bennett my. "Czar," I've
asked them to carry this discussion through the
Domestic Policy Council which Dick has so ably led
over the past two years. The DPC has played a
critical role in sorting out and coordinating the two
Drug Strategies which I transmitted to Congress last
year and early this year.
I've also asked that other non-DPC Cabinet members
be invited to this session and am pleased to see so
many of you and the Vice President here this
morning.
3
As we approach the election season, the question of
our stewardship will likely be raised as part of the
public debate. It is important that as each of us
participates in that debate, we understand something
about the nature of the problem, the solutions we've
proposed and the progress we've made.
In fact, the first shot appears to have already been
fired. Our loyal opposition is now trying to stick us
with the blame for the savings and loan crisis.
4
At the conclusion of this meeting, Dick Thornburgh,
Nick Brady and I are going to the Department of Justice,
where I will speak to the U.S. Attorneys about rigorously
prosecuting financial institution fraud cases and other
white collar crime. In addition, we will announce
support for amendments to the crime bill that will
strengthen our ability to prosecute financial institution
fraud.
I'll let the Attorney General elaborate on this in his
remarks.
So with that brief introduction, Dick why don't you
and your DPC take it from here.

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
June 22, 1990
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
DURING ADDRESS TO UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS
The Department of Justice
Washington, D.C.
11:12 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all and welcome back to
Washington, many of you. For those here, my thanks to you as well
for the job you're doing. I want to thank Secretary Brady for being
with us, Nick; and of course, my valued counselor and friend, the
Attorney General Dick Thornburgh, who is doing an outstanding job for
our country. And I'm grateful to him every single day that I'm
President. (Applause.)
To the prosecutors and crime fighters, you know what --
when I told the grandchild that's with me there in the White House
now that I'd be spending some time with some of America's finest
crime fighters, Noelle asked me if I'd be sure to bring back an
autograph from Dick Tracy. (Laughter.) We just saw that show in the
White House.
But nevertheless, true villians are drawn from life not
from primary colors. And where financial fraud is concerned it takes
a discerning mind and a determined spirit to distinguish the
incompetent from the fraudulent, the unlucky from the unlawful. And
this nation is very fortunate to be able to look to you, the United
States Attorneys of America, to make these tough calls. And we
depend on you as you work with the FBI and other investigative and
regulatory agencies to sift through piles upon piles of documents and
understand that in the cold numbers of a ledger can be found the
tragedy of an embezzled pension, the heartache of stolen savings.
White-collar crime is not as dramatic as violent crime,
but white-collar crime still ruins lives, and it murders the fondest
dreams of whole families. And it takes a snake, a cold-blooded snake
to betray the trust and innocence of hard-working people. And so if
we have to look under rocks to find these white-collar criminals then
we will leave no stone unturned.
This administration, from our first days in office, has
worked with Congress to crack down on white-collar criminals, to
crack down on fat cat financiers who launder the smell of blood out
of drug money, and white-collar crooks who cheat the elderly out of
their life's hard work, and to bring to justice government
contractors who steal by the numbers. You already know of the 37
convictions from the ill-wind probe of federal defense contractors.
And you already know of the 127 people rounded up in Operation Polar
Caps crackdown on drug financiers.
And let me say I wanted you here today to also thank you
because there are signs that we are starting at long last to make
credible progress in the war on drugs. Dick and Nick Brady and I
have just come from a meeting with Bill Bennett -- a report on where
we stand. And we're beginning to get the sense -- and I think the
country is beginning to get the sense -- that we will, indeed, win
this war on drugs.
You know -- you already know -- that among cases
MORE
- 2 -
involving abuse of HUD contracts, the Department Justice has already
obtained 65 convictions this fiscal year, including 21 convictions in
Oklahoma alone. While courts have ordered almost $2.5 million in
restitution in that state, more than half of which which will come
from an executive who has a five-year reservation in prison. And in
all, the government has won 10,000 financial fraud convictions since
1985. And just last year alone, the Department of Justice
aggressively won almost 800 convictions in major financial
institution fraud cases. Cases involving more than $100,000 each.
But the most critical financial fraud problem we've faced
is the -- Dick referred to it -- the S&L, the savings and loan
crisis. Working closely with Congress, we succeeded in obtaining
many critical regulatory reforms. But a great deal of wrongdoing had
already taken place, had already occurred. And so, in the third week
of my administration, I directed the Attorney General to give cases
of S&L fraud the highest priority. And he did just exactly that.
And when it comes to civil action, we have sought restitution to
protect taxpayers through tens of thousands of civil suits leveled
against S&L executives, owners and borrowers. And when it comes to
criminal action, we aim for a simple, uncompromising position. Throw
the crooks in jail.
And this aggressive attitude is paying off. And in three
years, we've won more than 150 S&L convictions -- $100 million
ordered in restitution -- $100 million. More than 400 years in
prison terms meted out. And I know this because of you and your firm
support, there will be much, much more. I am grateful to each and
every one of you that is fighting hard to bring these people to
justice.
Consider all that is happening. An S&L chairman gets 30
years in the celebrated case in Dallas, Texas. An S&L CEO in Santa
Rosa is sentenced to prison, and the courts order almost $7 million
in fines and restitution. In Illinois, top officers of an S&L go to
prison and are ordered to pay $17 million. Now, these cheats have
cost us billions. And they will pay us back with their dollars and
they'll pay us back with years of their lives.
These prosecutions are the result of a determined effort.
An effort which we are boosting with 202 FBI agents, 100 more FBI
accounting technicians, and 118 more United States attorneys. The
Dallas Task Force has been particularly successful, obtaining 52
convictions. So successful, in fact, that Attorney General
Thornburgh is expanding the task force concept to 27 cities.
Now, we could have been moving even faster, but, very
candidly, Congress did not act on my request for $36.8 million in
additional investigatorial and prosecutorial resources for 1989. And
further, approval of my request that Dick talked about for $50
million for the current fiscal year was delayed.
Under Secretary Brady's leadership, the IRS is
aggressively pursuing individuals suspected of tax fraud in
connection with failed savings and loan institutions. While the
Resolution Trust Corporation is adding about 300 members to its
investigative staff this year to become part of a new national
investigative network. The FDIC is pursuing more than 1,200 cases of
fraud and negligence against thrift officials -- attorneys,
accountants -- and has collected more $120 million in damages this
year.
Treasury's Office of Thrift Supervision, the OTS, has
also required 664 institutions to agree to terminate unsafe and
unsound practices, remove than 150 senior thrift officers and
directors, and issued 111 cease and desist orders to stop unsafe and
unsound practices.
Throughout it all, our men and women in the federal
agencies are doing a great job. From the halls of Justice and
Treasury to the passport clerk who recovered $3 million in cash,
jewelry and gold by keeping a former savings and loan owner from

skipping the country.
We're learning a lot from our successes. And so I'm here
today to back new legislative and administrative action. In further
ways, we can crack down on white collar crime. First, let me declare
my support for a proposed amendment to the Omnibus Crime bill to
enhance and enforce the civil and criminal penalties for fraud
against financial institutions. This legislation, sponsored by
leaders -- Bob Dole, Republican leader, and Bob Michel; by Senators
Heinz and Garn, as well as Congressman Hiler and Wylie will
strengthen our investigative and prosecutorial tools in the service
of justice. And it will provide added protection to the victims of
crime.
We want to allow the use of court-approved wiretaps in
investigating bank fraud. And we also want Congress to authorize
federal regulatory agencies to ask the courts to freeze the corporate
and personal assets of defendants in civil cases involving financial
institution fraud so that they will not leave the taxpayers high and
dry. And we want to prevent rip-off artists from using bankruptcy as
a strategy to avoid paying damages.
Now, these are some of the legislative steps that we can
and must take, but we must also build on our recent successes by
taking further administrative action. The Attorney General will
establish within this great department, the Department of Justice, a
new unit to direct and sharpen the department's actions even further
while helping to coordinate actions with other agencies.
Where new problems emerge in S&Ls we'll need to get
involved fast. And that's why Attorney General Thornburgh and
Secretary Brady have created a new approach -- rapid response teams
against fraud. Teams of razor-sharp prosecutors and auditors
recruited from their departments and other agencies striking city by
city. Teams that will jump right into the paper chase. Teams that
will hit the trail while that trail is still hot. These teams will
be deployed to help you. You're on the cutting edge, you U.S.
attorneys. And I am confident that they will work well with you.
I have already seen the men and women of these two
departments working together -- sharing a tenacious spirit, born of a
thirst for justice. of course, we will always quantify the
importance of our work together in terms of billions of dollars lost.
But perhaps it is more appropriate to remember why this mission is so
important to so many people -- a thought that will sustain you in the
months to come as you sip that cold coffee long after everyone else
has gone home. You'll be working late because you will not let those
people be forgotten: Savers whose hard work and honest trust must
and will be protected. Elderly people whose faith in the future must
be preserved. It's your duty. I would say it is your sacred duty to
right these wrongs. To stand up for the vulnerable against the
unscrupulous, the guileless against the conniving.
We will not rest until the cheats and the chiselers and
the charlatans spend a large chunk of their lives behind the bars of
a federal prison. You do a difficult job in a spirit of
professionalism. Sometimes you come under fire, partisan political
fire. And I will do my level best to see that the facts are out
there so that the American people can understand and appreciate, as I
do, the job that you all are doing. I can thank you, only thank you,
on behalf of all Americans for this dedication, this dedication that
you bring to the people's work.
I want to thank all of you for coming here to Washington.
And may God bless each and every one of you. Thank you for what
you're doing. We want to support you 100 percent. Many, many
thanks. (Applause.)
