Peter THE NEW YORK TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1982 Grace, a businesman who heads Presi- dent Reagan's Government spending watchdog committee, said today the Federal food stamp program was basi- cally a subsidy for Puerto Ricans. Mr. Grace, the chairman and chief executive officer of W.R. Grace & Com- pany, dwelt on the percentage of the food stamp budget going to Puerto Ricans in a speech before the American Bft Feed and Grain Manufacturers Associ- ation. Mr. Grace heads President Rea- gan's Private Sector Survey on Cost Control in the Federal Government. While the thrust of his address was that the American public "should get off President Reagan's back so he can get Government off our backs," Mr. Grace said that of the Carter Adminis- tration's $12.7 billion food stamp budg- et, $1.04 billion had been scheduled to go to Puerto Rico. He said Mr. Reagan reduced those figures, and the total for the fiscal year 1982 was estimated at $11.5 billion, of which $904 million went to Puerto Rico. "This figure does not include 2.1 mil- lion Puerto Ricans living in the U.S.," Mr. Grace said. Then departing from a National news appears on pages A7, A12-16, A20, B4, B9 and D19. prepared text, he added that "900,000 live in New York, and they' all on food stamps, so this food stamp program is basically a Puerto Rican program." "I've got nothing against Puerto Ricans," he said, "but this is a little much." Within hours, Representative Robert A12 Garcia, Democrat of the Bronx, head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, sent a telegram to the President re- questing Mr. Grace's resignation. He said Mr. Grace's statement was "as racist as anything I have ever heard in my 17 years of elective office." A025 R A PM-GRACE SKED 5-28 REAGAN OFFICIAL: "I'VE GOT NOTHING AGRINST PUERTO RICANS" BY BRUCE BAKKE UPI BUSINESS WRITER DALLAS (UPI) -- THE HEAD OF PRESIDENT REAGAN'S GOVERNMENT SPENDING WATCHDOG COMMITTEE CALLED THE FEDERAL FOOD STAMP PROGRAM A SUBSIDY FOR PUERTO RICANS AND WITHIN HOURS OUTRAGED OFFICIALS BRANDED HIM A RACIST AND CALLED FOR HIS RESIGNATION. DESPITE CONDEMNATION AND TELEGRAMS AGAINST NEW YORK BUSINESSMAN J. PETER GRACE, HEAD OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR SURVEY ON COST CONTROL IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, REAGAN REFUSED COMMENT ON GRACE'S COMMENTS BEFORE THE AMERICAN FEED AND GRAIN MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION. "MR. GRACE WAS GIVING HIS PERSONAL VIEWS AND WE HAVE NO COMMENT ON IT," A WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN SAID OF THURSDAY'S REMARKS. WITH THE THRUST OF HIS ADDRESS CENTERING ON THE BELIEF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC "SHOULD GET OFF PRESIDENT REAGAN'S BACK SO HE CAN GET GOVERNMENT OFF OUR BACKS," THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF W.R. GRACE & CO. DWELT ON THE PERCENTAGE OF THE FOOD STAMP BUDGET GOING TO PUERTO RICANS. GRACE SAID $1.04 BILLION OF THE CARTER ADMINISTRATION'S $12.7 BILLION FOOD STAMP BUDGET WAS SCHEDULED FOR PUERTO RICO. HE SAID REAGAN CUT THE FIGURE FOR FISCAL 1982 TO $11.5 BILLION -- WITH $904 MILLION GOING TO PUERTO RICO, WHICH CURRENTLY HAS A 22.6 PERCENT UNEMPLOYMENT RATE. "THIS FIGURE DOES NOT INCLUDE 2.1 MILLION PUERTO RICANS LIVING IN THE U.S. (MAINLAND), GRACE SAID. THEN, DEPARTING FROM A PREPARED TEXT, HE SAID, "900,000 LIVE IN NEW YORK, AND THEY'RE ALL ON FOOD STAMPS, SO THIS FOOD STAMP PROGRAM IS BASICALLY A PUERTO RICAN PROGRAM." "I'VE GOT NOTHING AGAINST PUERTO RICANS, BUT THIS IS A LITTLE MUCH," HE SAID. RESIDENT COMMISSIONER BALTASAR CORRADA, WHO REPRESENTS PUERTO RICO IN CONGRESS, CALLED FOR GRACE'S RESIGNATION FOR REMARKS THAT WERE "AN AFFRONT AND INSULT TO PUERTO RICANS BOTH ON THE ISLAND AS WELL AS ON THE U.S. MAINLAND." CORRADA SAID THE FEDERAL FOOD STAMP PROGRAM CURRENTLY SERVES MORE THAN 23 MILLION AMERICANS BUT ONLY 1.8 MILLION OF THEM LIVE IN PUERTO RICO, THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND GUAM. AS OF JULY 1. THE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM IN PUERTO RICO WILL BE REPLACED WITH A SYSTEM BY WHICH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ISSUES A CASH GRANT TO THE PUERTO RICAN COMMONWEALTH GOVERNMENT, WHICH THEN WILL ISSUE CHECKS RESIDENT MAY EXCHANGE FOR CASH. REP. ROBERT GARCIA, D-N.Y., HEAD OF THE CONGRESSIONAL HISPANIC CAUCUS, ALSO URGED REAGAN TO REQUEST GRACE'S RESIGNATION. GARCIA SAID GRACE'S STATEMENT IN DALLAS "MAY PLAY WELL THERE, BUT IT IS AS RACIST RS ANYTHING I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY 17 YEARS OF ELECTIVE OFFICE." RAUL YZAGUIRRE, PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF LA RAZA, SAID GRACE'S COMMENTS "EXEMPLIFY A MEANNESS OF SPIRIT AND A CONTEMPT FOR ALL HISPANICS." "THE FACT THAT PUERTO RICANS CONSTITUTE ONE OF THE LOWEST INCOME GROUPS IN THE U.S. AND THAT THEY SUFFER GROSS DISCRIMINATION IS THE ISSUE WE OUGHT TO BE FOCUSING ON," HE SAID. "PUERTO RICAN DEPENDENCE ON FOOD STAMPS IS H NATURAL CONSEQUENCE OF THAT ECONOMIC AND RACIAL DISCRMINATION." YZAGUIRRE SAID HE WOULD ASK GRACE TO MEET WITH HISPANIC LEADERS.

The agency ac- counts for $5 billion in government spend- ing. In a speech in March before the National Association of Manufacturers, Reagan said that before Carmen took over, the agency had been "racked by scandal" in- volving fraud and waste of government money. Carmen promoted the agency's whistleblowers, who had previously been demoted for exposing wrongdoing, Reagan said. Three months before Carmen stopped paying off his Small Business Administra- tion loan, Reagan ordered a crackdown against those who owed the government loans and back taxes. "We must make it clear that debts owed to the federal government must be re- paid," the president said. "It is not right that responsible, honest citizens should suffer because of those who do not honor their obligations." In an interview, Carmen drew a distinc- tion between people who are behind in making payments "legally" and "those that deal outside that arena." "We applied for a deferral," he said. "It was okayed." Carmen said he would have listed the loan in his financial disclosure statement if he had thought it was required. The in- structions require a listing of any business liability "in which your participation or ownership interest extends to personal lia- bility for its debts." Rescue By Water J.

May 29, 1982 MEMORANDUM FOR EDWIN MEESE 2 Tall w/ JAMES A. BAKER MICHAEL DEAVER A FROM: ELIZABETH H. DOLE x Mason (Travelling-uspol. transfer. SUBJECT: Major Hispanic Events: July through September up-stoo) As part of our long-range Hispanic strategy, we recommended appearances by the President at the national conventions of two major Hispanic organizations--the American G.I. Forum in Salt Lake City on August from 13 and the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Chicago on August 14. Both these proposals have been regretted because of the Presi- urting grog. dent's planned California vacation in August. No President has ever addressed a national Hispanic convention, and (Waid President Reagan's appearances would have been a historic first. However, if these events are not possible, we must nail down an alternate strategy to assure maximum Administration visibility at for key Hispanic events during the summer months and into September. Nse I would therefore like your approval for the following substitute events. 24hrs) into 1. A Presidential speech at the annual banquet of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on September 16 in Washington D.C. This banquet culminates Hispanic Heritage Week and is attended by 1500 key His- 3hr panics from across the country. 2. An acceptance by the Vice President to keynote the two August perwa Schultz conventions regretted by the President. 3. Participation by Ed Meese at the convention of the National Council alone of La Raza in Los Angeles on July 21 Both the President and the Vice President have regretted this invitation. w/ Mrs 4. A Mexican fiesta for several hundred Hispanic supporters at Rancho $ 28 Sierra Grande sometime during the summer. This would be an informal outdoor event along the lines of the Merle Haggard concert. The combination of these four events will expose large numbers of DEM: target grassroots Hispanics to the President, Vice President and other key Administration officials, They will generate considerable good- gual will and will help immeasurably in our efforts to shore up sagging Pay for support in this important community. 6 WWF Walter Fondren Fish Convil (MacB.)
