deny extension of fast track negotiating authority. The
committee also favorably reported H.Res. 146, the
"Gephardt/Rostenkowski Resolution," by voice vote. H.Res.
146 essentially memorializes as negotiating objectives the
action plan you set forth in your May 1 response to the
Rostenkowski/Bentsen and Gephardt letters. The full House
is scheduled to consider both resolutions on Thursday, May
23. (There are still efforts being made to split the Mexico
vote from GATT.)
Many members have already taken positions on the issue and
the vote is close. This meeting may help persuade
uncommitted members to vote against the resolution of
disapproval. (Note: There will be a few members at the
meeting who actively support your position).

Talking Points for House Fast Track Meeting
I want to thank all of you for coming down today
to talk about extension of fast track negotiating
authority.
We had a good vote on Tuesday in the Ways and
Means Committee. I'm glad the Dorgan resolution
of disapproval was reported unfavorably. And
while we're not too pleased about the
Gephardt/Rostenkowski resolution being reported
favorably, we can live with it as long as it
isn't changed.
At any rate, I'd like to see a repeat of the Ways
and Means vote on the floor. We need fast track.
Card 2
Exports of U.S. goods have fueled our economic
growth in recent years. We need fast track
authority to negotiate trade agreements that will
open markets, keep our exports strong, create
jobs, and sustain our leadership in the world
economy.
A vote for extending fast track is not a vote on
an actual agreement. It is a vote on a procedure
that will allow us to get the best agreement
possible for ultimate submission to you in
Congress.
You in Congress will have the final say. And you
have my personal assurance that the
Administration will work closely with you
throughout the process of negotiating and
implementing trade agreements.
Card 3
On May 1, each of you received our blueprint for
action which lays out in detail our approach to
concerns about negotiations with Mexico raised by
Members of Congress on labor issues, the
environment, and other critical areas.
This plan of action was drawn up after extensive
discussions with Members of Congress and
representatives of the various segments of our
economy. I think you will find that, while we
have not done everything that every group wants,
we have been responsive to all concerns.
I hope you have had a chance to look at the
action plan and if you have any questions, Carla
(Hills) or I will be happy to answer them.
Card 4
Mainly, I want to hear from you. This is an
important issue for us, both economically and in
terms of our foreign policy. I'd like to have
your support.
THE SEATING CHART FOR THIS CONGRESSIONAL
MEETING WILL BE FORWARDED IN THE MORNING.

A FAST TRACK MEETING WITH CORPORATE LEADERS FROM THE
TEXTILE AND APPAREL INDUSTRIES
DATE: THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1991
TIME: 10:00 A.M.
LOCATION: THE ROOSEVELT ROOM
THROUGH: DAVID DEMAREST, ASSISTANT TO THE
PRESIDENT FOR COMMUNICATIONS
BK
FROM: BOBBIE KILBERG, DEPUTY ASSISTANT TO THE
PRESIDENT FOR PUBLIC LIAISON
JEFF VOGT MSSOCIATE DIRECTOR
OFFICE OF PUBLIC LIAISON
I. PURPOSE:
To underscore the importance of Fast Track passage and to
particularly highlight the support within the textile and
apparel industries.
II. BACKGROUND:
The textile and apparel industries employ nearly two million
workers -- ten percent of our manufacturing employment.
These industries have traditionally sought protection from
imports, which began with President Kennedy's initiative to
set import quotas and have evolved into what is now known as
the Multifiber Arrangement (MFA). In addition to import
quotas, high tariff rates exist for these products,
averaging 18 percent for textile and apparel products versus
4 percent for all manufacturing.
It is against this backdrop that many apparel and a number
of textile firms have made the difficult decision to support
fast track. In doing so, they break with their traditional
alliance with the union mills to support trade
liberalization. These companies have taken measures to
become globally competitive. As a result, they do not
oppose the phasing-out of the MFA and realize that they will
benefit from market openings provided for in the Uruguay
Round and with Mexico.
This meeting presents a good opportunity for you to thank
the companies in attendance for their support. Ambassador
Hills and Chief Textile Negotiator Ambassador Sorini will
have a brief discussion with the group prior to your
arrival.
III. PARTICIPANTS:

-- Thank you for coming to the White House today.
It is a pleasure to meet with some of our most
forward looking and successful textile and
apparel companies on this important issue of fast
track authority. I hope your global outlook will
be a model for the rest of the textile and
apparel industries.
-- Your industries are extremely important to our
economy. Permanently shielding your industries
from imports will only be self-defeating.
-2-
-- I do not believe that industries such as yours
will wither in the face of international
competition. On the contrary, through more open
markets, companies with your vision can dispel
this myth and ensure that the textile and apparel
industries grow and prosper as we enter the next
century.
-- I greatly appreciate your help in the fast track
process. The Uruguay Round and a North American
Free Trade Agreement offer tremendous opportunity
in new markets and new economic prosperity.
-3-
-- I want the United States to remain as the leader
in opening markets and expanding trade. Fast
track authority is the essential tool to help
us forge free trade around the global marketplace.
-- The vote is expected next week on this critical
issue, and I hope you will continue to do all
you can to help assure passage of fast track
authority.

LIST OF QUESTIONS
EISENHOWER DOCUMENTARY
1. In looking back to the Eisenhower era from the 1990's, what
do you consider to be Ike's greatest foreign policy legacy?
2. Your father was a supporter of President Eisenhower in
Congress and a friend. What are your personal recollections of
that relationship? Did it in any way affect your decision to
have a political career?
3. Was your father's relationship with President Eisenhower at
all instructive about how Ike worked with the Congress to forge a
bi-partisan foreign policy despite deep divisions in the country
during the post-war years?
4. President Eisenhower refused to be "held hostage" to the Oval
Office and to events that were of critical importance to the
American people, and to the world generally. His active pursuit
of leisure often led to criticism. You appear to hold to the
same philosophy. Could you tell us why?
5. President Eisenhower frequently overruled his advisors on the
use of force in disputes abroad. He had, according to his close
advisors, a very clear view as to when and how force should be
used. Did you draw any specific inspiration from the Eisenhower
era as you considered the use of force in Panama and the Gulf?
6. Do you believe President Eisenhower's foreign policy stances
and initiatives (vis-a-vis the Soviets) contributed to the events
in the late 1980's that saw the communist system fall apart
throughout Eastern Europe, and in the USSR itself?
EISENHOWER DOCUMENTARY
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
WW II/GULF COMPARISON & NOTES OF SIMILARITY:
Under Ike, the Word War II coalition had great success. Ike
stopped at the approaches to Berlin and that decision is still
being debated, much like your decision not to take Baghdad.
Churchill wanted to take Berlin, but Ike, supported by President
Roosevelt, let the city fall to the Russians. Eisenhower's
reasons: the area around Berlin had already been allotted to the
Russians as a zone of occupation, and there was no need for further
loss of life. Some historians argue that Ike's decision to halt
was the mistake of his wartime career.
Much like America's position in Iraq, Ike and his men knew why they
fought in World War II. "To preserve his freedom of worship, his
equality before the law, his liberty to speak and act as he sees
fit, subject only to provisions that he trespass not upon similar
rights of others -- a Londoner will fight," said Ike. Then he
added: "So will a citizen of Abilene."
Your Remarks at a Luncheon commemorating the Dwight D. Eisenhower
Centennial, March 27, 1990:
Today I say it loudly and very proudly, I have always liked Ike.
He was a healer, not a hater. Of Ike, it was said that he
preserved civilization. He was decisive, acting on instincts that
were invariably wise. His vision was etched on a plaque sitting
on his desk which read: "Gently in manner, strong in deed." He
used that vision not to demagogue but deliver. He was a role model,
everyone's second father.
Your Remarks Dedicating the Nixon Library, July 1990:
It was Dwight Eisenhower, beloved Ike, who described the power of
America's energy "to proclaim anew our faith" and summon "lightness
against the dark." You added that "To occupy this office is to feel
a kinship with Ike
Your Eisenhower Day 1990 Proclamation:
Dwight D. Eisenhower earned a special place of honor in our history
through his courageous and determined efforts to defend the
universal cause of freedom. He set a standard of leadership that
other military professionals and elected officials have since
strived to emulate.
At the end of 1943, as the Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied
Expeditionary Forces in Europe, his leadership and example in that
post animated the most successful wartime coalition in history and
paved the way for an unprecedented military defeat: the successful
invasion of Normandy by land, sea and air on June 6, 1944.
As President, he handled the tensions and uncertainties of the
postwar era and administered policies leading to an unprecedented
growth and prosperity here at home. Crises in Suez, Berlin, and
Lebanon tested his remarkable leadership abilities. In each case,
he responded with characteristic courage and resolve. .
The positive developments we have witnessed around the world during
the past year would not have been possible without his leadership
at a critical moment in history. Neither would they have been
possible without the vigilance, strength and resolve of free
nations rooted in ideals Ike cherished. He set an extraordinary
example.
On the Leisure Issue and Ike's Management Style:
When Eisenhower left office, historians and political scientists
held him in low esteem, reflecting the general public impression
that the former general had been a passive President who had
delegated most of the work of government to his staff and Cabinet
members, particularly his aggressively conservative Secretary of
State, John Foster Dulles. But as his papers have become available
to scholars, that judgement has changed radically. The papers
reveal Eisenhower to have been a "hands-on" Chief Executive who
carefully manipulated the levers of power, often without the
knowledge even of key aides. Historians now frequently rank Ike
as among the most effective Presidents ever.
Historical Note:
An interesting historical arc -- Eisenhower was the first of
America's six WW II veteran Presidents. You are almost certainly
the last. And the arc of history connects you on foreign policy
issues that have been on the forefront for half a century -- such
as NATO.
On His Legacy: As the founding Commander of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, Eisenhower did more than any other American
to shape this treaty. It was Eisenhower who insisted that the
United States not accept the division of Germany as permanent.
For the leaders of Europe who are trying to refashion the European
map, Ike's legacy shapes both the issues they confront and the
options from which they may choose. His legacy could be summed up
as "victory in war and consolidation in peace."

I. PURPOSE:
To provide an interview for the documentary "Dangerous
Years, President Eisenhower and the Cold War", a one hour
special to air nationally in the Fall of 1991.
II. BACKGROUND:
This interview will provide you with an opportunity to
contribute your personal reflections to a documentary
tribute to Ike.
The focus is on President Eisenhower's foreign policy,
specifically his decisions in dealing with the USSR and the
Middle East. Presidents Reagan, Ford and Nixon have already
done interviews for the program.
The producers are interested in your comments on the period
when Ike was in the White House and your father was in the
Senate. They will ask you about any legacy from the
Eisenhower years that plays a role in the policies and
practices of your Administration. They may ask whether the
tactics Eisenhower used during Lebanon in '58 affected your
decisions and tactics with Iraq.
Veteran newsman John Chancellor will conduct the interview
and is the host of the program. Chancellor covered the
White House when Ike sent the Marines to Lebanon to ensure
democratic elections in '58 and when he sent troops to
Little Rock to ensure integration of Central High School.

ON MAY 20TH, CUBAN-AMERICANS COMMEMORATE THE 89TH
ANNIVERSARY OF CUBAN INDEPENDENCE - -- A DAY THAT
CELEBRATES THE HEROIC EFFORTS OF THE PEOPLE WHO FORGED
THE CUBAN REPUBLIC.
THE HISTORY OF OUR TWO COUNTRIES IS CLOSELY
INTERTWINED. DURING OUR OWN REVOLUTION, WHEN AMERICAN
TROOPS WERE SHORT ON SUPPLIES, THE WOMEN OF HAVANA
BANDED TOGETHER AND RAISED MONEY FOR THE CAUSE OF
AMERICAN FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE.
EIGHTY-TWO YEARS LATER, CUBANS BANDED TOGETHER
AND, AFTER A LONG BRUTAL STRUGGLE, BUILT THEIR OWN
REPUBLIC. TODAY, WE REMEMBER THAT VICTORY FOR FREEDOM
-- AND HOPE FOR ITS RENEWAL IN CUBA.
FREEDOM DEMANDS SACRIFICE, AND THE BATTLE FOR
FREEDOM DRAWS UPON PEOPLE'S MOST HEROIC INSTINCTS AND
ABILITIES. JOSE MARTI, A HERO OF FREEDOM - -- THE FATHER
OF CUBAN INDEPENDENCE - -- SAID: "TO WITNESS A CRIME IN
SILENCE IS LIKE COMMITTING IT." so TODAY, WE AGAIN
REITERATE UNWAVERING COMMITMENT FOR A FREE AND
DEMOCRATIC CUBA. NOTHING SHALL TURN US AWAY FROM THIS
OBJECTIVE.

I ASK FIDEL CASTRO TO MAKE THIS AN INDEPENDENCE
DAY TO REMEMBER.
I CALL ON FIDEL CASTRO TO FREE POLITICAL PRISONERS
IN CUBA AND ALLOW THE UNITED NATIONS COMMISSION ON
HUMAN RIGHTS TO INVESTIGATE POSSIBLE HUMAN RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS IN CUBA.
I CHALLENGE MR. CASTRO TO LET CUBA LIVE IN PEACE
WITH ITS NEIGHBORS.
AND I CHALLENGE MR. CASTRO TO FOLLOW THE EXAMPLES
OF COUNTRIES LIKE NICARAGUA, PANAMA, PARAGUAY AND CHILE
IN THEIR ACHIEVEMENT OF NEW DEMOCRACIES. PUT
DEMOCRACY TO A TEST. PERMIT POLITICAL PARTIES TO
ORGANIZE AND A FREE PRESS TO THRIVE. HOLD FREE AND
FAIR ELECTIONS UNDER INTERNATIONAL SUPERVISION.
NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE OF THIS
HEMISPHERE LIVE EITHER IN A DEMOCRACY OR A COUNTRY THAT
IS ON THE ROAD TO DEMOCRACY. ONE PERCENT LIVE UNDER
THE HEMISPHERE'S LAST DICTATOR - -- FIDEL CASTRO.

ON CUBAN INDEPENDENCE DAY OUR GOALS FOR THE CUBAN
NATION, SHARED BY CUBANS EVERYWHERE, ARE PLAIN AND
CLEAR: "FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY, MR. CASTRO -- NOT SOME
TIME, NOT SOME DAY, BUT NOW."
IF CUBA HOLDS FULLY FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS UNDER
INTERNATIONAL SUPERVISION, RESPECTS HUMAN RIGHTS, AND
STOPS SUBVERTING ITS NEIGHBORS, WE CAN EXPECT RELATIONS
BETWEEN OUR TWO COUNTRIES TO IMPROVE SIGNIFICANTLY.

TOAST RESPONSE \ THE BRITISH EMBASSY
BC
THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1991 \ 7:45 P.M.
YOUR 343 MAJESTY, YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS, LADIES AND
En
GENTLEMEN. MAY IT HAS BEEN WELL AND TRULY SAID THAT THE
GREAT RESPECT AMERICANS HAVE FOR BRITAIN IS EMBODIED IN
THE AFFECTION WE FEEL FOR THE ROYAL FAMILY. /
LAST NIGHT AT THE ORIOLE'S STADIUM IN BALTIMORE, A
HUGE CROWD PUT DOWN THEIR BEER AND HOT DOGS AND GAVE
YOU A HEARTFELT WELCOME.
- 2 -
AND TODAY YOU CAPTURED CAPITOL HILL. THE RECEPTION
THERE BESPOKE THE TRUE AMERICAN FEELING.
THAT AFFECTION IS SINCERE, AND FERVENT. IT IS ALSO
WELL-FOUNDED. FOR MORE THAN A HUNDRED YEARS, THE
AMERICAN COLONIES GREW UNDER BRITISH PROTECTION. AND
WITHIN A FEW YEARS OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE, YOUR
ANCESTOR GEORGE III SPOKE GENEROUSLY TO JOHN ADAMS, OUR
FIRST ENVOY TO THE COURT OF ST. JAMES. //
- 3 -
HE OBSERVED: "I WAS THE LAST MAN IN THE KINGDOM TO
CONSENT TO THE SEPARATION, BUT THE SEPARATION HAVING
BEEN MADE, I HAVE ALWAYS SAID, AS I SAY NOW, THAT I
WOULD BE THE FIRST TO MEET THE FRIENDSHIP OF THE UNITED
STATES AS AN INDEPENDENT POWER. //
IN THE NEXT CENTURY, IMMIGRANTS To AMERICA FROM
ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, WALES, AND ULSTER WORKED WONDERS OF
INVENTION./ NEXT, CAME THE 1870s AND '80s, WHEN
INVESTMENT FROM LONDON AND EDINBURGH FINANCED AMERICA'S
CONTINENTAL RAILROAD SYSTEM. /
- 4 -
IN THIS CENTURY, AS AMERICA CAME OF AGE, OUR
TROOPS FOUGHT SIDE-BY-SIDE IN TWO WORLD WARS.
IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE VICTORY OVER FASCISM, A
STATESMAN WHOSE WORDS HAD OFTEN INSPIRED OUR CITIZENS
AS WELL AS YOURS, FORGED AN APT DESCRIPTION FOR A NEW
WORLD CALAMITY. HE CALLED IT AN "IRON CURTAIN." As IN
THE PAST, WE DID NOT GIVE UP OR GIVE IN.
- 5 -
INSTEAD, WE WAGED A SPIRITED DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACY - --
HOLDING OUT HOPE, ALWAYS, AS CHURCHILL SAID, FOR A
WORLD ORDER IN WHICH "THE PRINCIPLES OF JUSTICE AND
FAIR PLAY PROTECT THE WEAK AGAINST THE STRONG." //
FOLLOWING OUR JOINT BERLIN AIRLIFT, BRITAIN AND THE
UNITED STATES LED THE WAY TOWARD CREATION OF A NEW
ATLANTIC TREATY. NATO KEPT THE PEACE FOR FORTY YEARS
-- BUYING THAT PRECIOUS ELEMENT, TIME. EVENTUALLY, THE
HORIZON BRIGHTENED.
- 6 -
WHEN IT DID, IT WAS TO THE IDEALS OF AMERICA AND
BRITAIN THAT THE PEOPLE OF EASTERN EUROPE LOOKED FOR
GUIDANCE AND INSPIRATION. //
YOUR MAJESTY, LAST AUGUST 2 A SEEMING COINCIDENCE
PUT THIS PRESIDENT AND YOUR PRIME MINISTER TOGETHER ON
A FATEFUL MORNING. YET OUR UNITY AND RESOLUTION WERE
NOT ACCIDENTAL AT ALL. /
- 7 -
THEY WERE FRUITS OF A COMMON HERITAGE -- PRODUCTS OF
THE GENERATIONS WE HAVE SPENT DOING WHAT IS RIGHT AND
JUST, ACCORDING To OUR COMMON PRINCIPLES. //
No WONDER THAT WHEN AMERICA LOOKS IN THE MIRROR,
IT SEES GREAT BRITAIN'S LEGACY STARING BACK. // No
WONDER THAT YOUR VISIT HAS BROUGHT DELIGHT TO OUR
FACES, APPLAUSE FROM OUR CONGRESS, AND LOVE FROM
AMERICANS WHO REVERE A STEADFAST ALLY --AND IN YOU, A
LONG-TIME AND DEAR FRIEND. //
- 8 -
IN THE YEAR OF YOUR CORONATION, THE PoeT LAUREATE
JOHN MASEFIELD WROTE: "Now THAT WE CROWN HER AS OUR
QUEEN MAY LOVE KEEP ALL HER PATHWAYS GREEN." //
YOUR MAJESTY, IT IS AN HONOR To RAISE MY GLASS To
YOU, TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, AND To THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED KINGDOM.
