MEMORANDUM FOR:
ASSOCIATE DIRECTORS OF THE
DOMESTIC COUNCIL
FROM:
JAMES CANNON
SUBJECT:
Coordination of Issue Papers
As the first step in a process of coordinating
Administration positions on a number of current issues,
you are asked to prepare a series of issue papers.
These papers will be used as sources for briefing
materials, speeches and public documents. They will
be revised and updated as appropriate. Your submission
should be in two parts, a part suitable for distribution
or public use, and a part confidential to the Domestic
Council.
1. The "public" part should have two sections:
A. A good succinct statement of the Administration
position on the issue.
This could be a recent quotation from a Presidential
statement, a statement of an Administration spokesman,
or in their absence, your draft. Identify the
source, date, location of statement, and to whom
given if a speech.
B. A list of Administration actions taken to date to
deal with the issue.
This could include signature or veto of an Act,
submission of legislation, budgetary actions,
program decisions or rulings by Department, or any
personal Presidential actions. For each, give
pertinent dates, locations, and brief statements
of the effect.
2
This public part should be no longer than two
pages, single spaced. Since the accuracy of
these sections is extremely important, you should
take responsibility for checking all facts and
clearing the material with appropriate persons,
and the persons with whom the paper is cleared
should be shown on the bottom of the page.
Please follow as closely as possible the attached
sample format.
2. The second part should be on a separate page (but
attached to the first part). It will not be used
publicly and must be held close. You are asked to
suggest a list of possible Administration actions
to deal with that issue. These need not be thoroughly
staffed out at this point; you should "brainstorm" the
issue for possible proposals for new initiatives, new
programs, and/or Administration actions. These ideas
will be reviewed for possible inclusion in the Admini-
stration program. (See attached sample).
These materials will be required for use shortly, and
your submission should be prepared as soon as possible,
not in any case later than C.O.B. Friday, September 12.
If you have any questions about this request, contact
Ray Waldmann, Ext. 7012.
