SENIOR STAFF MEETING ACTION ITEMS (7/18/83)
ITEM
ACTION
1. Today's Schedule: A White House photo will be taken during the
Speakes
9:15 meeting with Walt Stoessel.
2. Cabinet: The Cabinet will meet with the President on Thursday at
Fuller
11:00 re timber and PIK.
3. Legislative Calendar: The Senate is continuing work on the MX;
Duberstein
due to Senator Hart's filibuster, a vote may not take place until
the end of the week. After MX, the Senate will take up Radio
Marti, the farm bill, and Volcker's confirmation.
The House begins work on the MX tomorrow night, with a vote on
Wednesday. This will probably be a close fight. Tomorrow, the
House will hold a secret session on Nicaragua; consideration of
the IMF is also possible this week.
4. Economic Figures: Housing starts, GNP, and CPI will all be
Feldstein
released this week.
5. Contadora Group: State Department will provide guidance regarding
Clark
the Cancun meeting.
6. Commission on Central America: The President will announce the
Clark
Commission's structure, and Henry Kissinger as its chairman,
Herrington
during his speech today in Florida. A fact sheet and executive
Darman
order will be prepared. A number of "senior counselors" to the
Duberstein
Commission will also be named soon, including 8 members of Congress
selected by the leadership of each party. If possible, we will
try to announce the names of Commission members today; the names
of senior counselors from the Congress can probably be released
tomorrow. Appropriate consultations will be undertaken as soon
as possible.
7. Outreach Group on Central America: The President will drop by
Whittlesey
Wednesday's meeting regarding persecution of Jews in Central America.
Press coverage of the event will be discussed tomorrow.
8. Florida Trip: It was noted that the President has been given
Whittlesey
talking points for today's meeting with Jewish groups, which
will be covered by Jewish press.
9. Clinch River: Ed Meese has agreed to meet with a group regarding
Meese
new industry funding and other developments related to the project.
Fuller
10. PIK Program for Cotton: Ed Meese will meet today with Stockman
Meese
and Block to discuss this program.
Fuller
2
11. Taiwan Arms Sale: Congress was informed of this $520M sale last
Wright
Friday. We do not envision a test of the recent legislative veto
decision in this case.
12. Education: The President will meet with education leaders tomorrow, Fuller
though the NEA has declined to participate.
13. National Association of Counties: In the wake of yesterday's
Feldstein
speech on the economy by Mondale, Feldstein's speech today is
expected to draw more attention. A copy of his speech will be
sent to Dave Gergen.

SENIOR STAFF MEETING ACTION ITEMS (7-19-83)
ITEMS
ACTION
1.
Today's Schedule: A photo op will be held during today's meeting
Speakes
with Amir of Bahrain. Also, the signing of the Captive Nation's
proclamation will be covered by the press.
2.
Tomorrow's Schedule: A photo op will be held during the President's
Speakes
drop-by with the Central America Outreach Group.
3.
Commission on Central America: McPherron and Motley will conduct
Clark
a background briefing on this today at 3:00. At that time, we hope
Darman
to release the complete list of members, the executive order, char-
Duberstein
ter, and a fact sheet. Legislative Affairs will be given several
Speakes
hours for advance notifications to Congress; this will allow congres-
sional leaders to also announce their choices for senior counselors
today.
4.
MX: The Senate will continue its consideration of this issue;
Duberstein
Howard Baker could file a cloture petition, which might lead to a
vote by Thursday night. It was mentioned that Senator Jepsen has
thought about adding an anti-abortion amendment to the defense
authorization bill, though the leadership is trying to turn off
such efforts. The House is expected to vote on MX tomorrow, and at
this point it is very close.
Also, a conference begins today on the withholding repeal, which
now includes CBI.
5.
PIK Program for Cotton: The Administration will continue to oppose
Wright
congressional efforts to alter this program, though on a low-key
Duberstein
basis. We do not want to encourage compromise proposals, though
we are willing to look at any that are offered.
6.
A-122 Regulations: A new version of previously withdrawn revisions
will soon be circulated for WH staff comment. OMB is checking to
be sure that business people are satisfied; however, no Hill con-
sultations have yet taken place.
7.
National Association of Counties: Feldstein's speech yesterday
Verstandig
was well received. The President will be asked to call the head
of the organization today.
8.
NASA: Some confusion has been caused by NASA statements that the
Fuller
President favors a manned space station. Guidance is that no de-
Speakes
cision has yet been made since the proposal has not been submitted
to the President.
9.
Reorganization of Federal Laboratories: Recommendations on this
Fuller
subject were made to the President at a recent Cabinet meeting,
Speakes
though no decision has yet been made.
10. Hunger: It was mentioned that Bob Pear's story in today's New
Gergen
York Times may signal increased media attention on the subject of
hunger in America.

3.
Commission on Central America-- what loose ends
need to be taken care of today? Will we be able
to name the other members? The senior counselors?
Mattey
Have congressional consultations been completed?
4.
MX-- this will come up in the House today, with a
vote possible by tomorrow. Outlook?
5. Nicaragua-- secret House session is being held on
this today.
6. Housing starts will be released today.
7.
Cotton PIK program-- Meese was to meet yesterday
with Stockman and Block to try to work something
out. (It is much better to cut a deal on our terms;
if we don't, Congress will pass something worse.
Even if we are willing to veto, it will probably be
attached to the target price freeze bill to prevent
us from doing so.)
8.
A-122-- OMB is preparing to come out with a new
version of this regulation, which would restrict
lobbying activities by charities and others re-
ceiving federal funds. This caused a furor before.

SENIOR STAFF MEETING ACTION ITEMS (7-20-83)
ITEMS
ACTION
1.
Today's Schedule: Congressional time today will be used for phone
Duberstein
calls. The summer youth employment event will be covered by the
Speakes
press. Also, a decision will be made after senior staff regarding
Clark
press coverage of the President's remarks to the Central America
Whittlesey
Outreach Group; a decision will also be made regarding content of
material to be distributed at the meeting.
2.
MX: After the House concludes debate on the Ethics Committee re-
Duberstein
port, it will debate on amendments relating to the MX. A vote on
the key amendment to eliminate funding will probably occur in late
afternoon. This is expected to be close, and we are making an all-
out effort. The Senate is still in the midst of a filibuster on
the issue, though Senator Baker has filed a cloture petition with a
vote probable by tomorrow night.
3.
Nicaragua: It was noted that yesterday's secret House session on
this went well, and was less emotional than had been expected.
4.
Withholding: The conference committee has not yet settled the
Duberstein
withholding issue, though they have agreed that CBI will be included
in the conference report. We are also attempting to include a pilot
program for enterprise zones, though this is being resisted by
Rostenkowski.
5.
Commission on Central America: We will probably announce Harry
Clark
Schlaudeman's appointment as executive secretary today.
Herrington
6.
PIK Program for Cotton: Revisions in our program were passed yes-
Duberstein
terday by the House, and will probably be passed by the Senate.
Wright
Our position remains one of low-key opposition.
7.
Natural Gas: This will probably be marked-up tomorrow in Senate
Duberstein
committee.
8.
Tipping Law Change: A news item seemed to imply that the President
Harper
supports a change in the tax laws on tipping. OPD will check on
the basis for the story.
9.
Death of Frank Reynolds: A statement has been drafted for issuance
Gergen
after the President has reviewed.
10. El Salvador: Our human rights certification will probably be sent
Duberstein
to the Hill today. Also, it was mentioned that Senator Kasten may
Clark
propose cutting our aid request from $50M to $25M; we view this as
unacceptable.
11. Economic Figures: Personal income and consumer expenditure figures
Feldstein
will both be released at 10 a.m. today; the latter will be up sig-
nificantly.
12. Defense Authorization Bill: The Republican leadership is discour-
Duberstein
aging Senator Jepsen from offering an anti-abortion amendment to
this bill.

SENIOR STAFF MEETING ACTION ITEMS (7-21-83)
ITEMS
ACTION
1.
Today's Schedule: A WH photo will be taken during meeting with Paul Speakes
Nitze; he will then talk with the press on departure.
2.
Cabinet: CCNRE will meet with the President at 2:30 on timber, and Fuller
CCFA will meet with the President at 3:00 on the PIK program.
3.
Tomorrow's Schedule: A full photo op will be held during President
Gemayel's visit tomorrow.
4.
Saturday Radio Speech: Treasury has asked that IMF be discussed
Gergen
in light of a probable vote next week in the House. However, since
there will be other opportunities to draw attention to the IMF
problem before Tuesday, a different subject will be discussed in the
speech.
5.
GNP: 2d Quarter figures will be released at 10 a.m. today, and will Feldstein
show a dramatic increase.
6.
Supplemental: The conferees finished work last night, and their re- Duberstein
port is expected to reach the floor next week. It was noted that
Wright
revisions in the cotton PIK program were added, along with IMF
funding. The bill is short of what we asked on security assistance
and is half of our request on El Salvador. Guidance is that we are
analyzing the legislation, and will announce our position next week.
7.
Standby Tax: Guidance re today's New York Times story is that we
Speakes
are not abandoning our stated position: the tax is contingent on
our not getting sufficient spending cuts, and we still hope to ob-
tain such cuts.
8.
Withholding Repeal: The conference on this should be completed to-
Duberstein
day. CBI is included, and we have obtained a commitment that Ways
and Means will hold hearings in the fall on enterprise zones.
9.
Veterans Compensation: This usually tracks the pension COLAs, and
Wright
is now being marked-up in the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.
Duberstein
However, Senator Cranston has added an Agent Orange compensation
provision which could cost billions before the CDC study has even
been completed. The Administration will probably oppose the
Cranston amendment.
10. Holiday Honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. A bill to set this up
Wright
will be reported out of a Senate committee today. OMB will work
out an Administration position.
11.
MX: It was mentioned that there are still several votes set today
Duberstein
in the House on MX. We hope to conclude Senate work on the matter
by Saturday.

hearing; we will check further into Helms' reasons with a view
Herrington
toward avoiding an unnecessary delay in Pickering assuming his po-
sition in San Salvador.

nomic rights, legal rights, and crime in remarks tentatively set for
11 a.m. on August 1. It was suggested that certain female appointees

Whittlesey
cern about signing a CSCE agreement without assurances regarding
Sakharov and Scharansky.

State, Justice, and Commerce Appropriations
Bill-- this bill, for $10.3B, was approved in
the Senate Appropriations Committee yesterday.
Laxalt's efforts to cut the bill failed, and he

is $538M over our budget; Laxalt said he feels
a further trim to $9.9B or $10B would make it
acceptable.
