PURPOSE 20 To provide Laxalt an opportunity to consult with you on immigration policy. II. BACKGROUND The Justice Department has over the last several weeks conducted an extensive series of discussions with relevant Senators and Congressmen on immigration and refugee policy. Last week a number of Western Senators (who had previously not been directly involved) met with the AG and Senator Al Simpson (Wyoming). The Western Senators wanted to be assured that any Adminis- tration immigration policy would not adversely impact ranchers and farmers. There was to have been an additional meeting of the Western Senators with the AG. But, given the fact that the Cabinet meeting on immigration is scheduled for tomorrow, Senator Laxalt wanted to meet with you and the AG personally on the subject. III. PARTICIPANTS Senator Laxalt The Attorney General Jim Baker Mike Deaver Max Friedersodrf Martin Anderson Frank Hodsoll IV. PRESS PLAN No coverage. V. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS Informal discussion of immigration policy. Suggest you primarily listen to discussion. If the opportunity arises, you might note the urgency of making a decision (in light of South Florida situation and need to develop a comprehen- sive policy).

B THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON July 15, 1981 MEETING WITH: Leaders from the Small Business Community LOCATION: Cabinet Room TIME: 11:00 AM - 11:15 AM FROM: ELIZABETH H. DOLE END PURPOSE: To demonstrate your concern for the interests of the small business community and to solicit their support of your tax program. BACKGROUND: Small business has long perceived itself as being at the mercy of a government without shared concerns. Part of the problem has been the difficulty of small business in articulating its needs in the sophisticated Washington environment. Your recuperation period precluded participation in May's Small Business Week, and this will be your first formalized meeting with the community, al- though you have met with countless small businessmen and women during the course of your other outreach meetings. The small business community was very supportive of your election and is looking for signs that demonstrate your understanding of their plight. Chairman Rostenkowski has concentrated his effort at wooing small business away from the successful coalition that supported your spending cuts. His "sweetners" have proven somewhat successful, and this meeting is intended to initiate your campaign to show small business that it has a true friend in the White House. This meeting will begin with welcoming remarks by Elizabeth Dole, an outlook overview by Secretary Baldrige, discussion of SBA improvements by Admini- strator Cardenas, regulatory relief by Murray Weidenbaum and the benefits of your tax plan to small business by Secretary Regan. PARTICIPANTS: Secretary Baldrige, Secretary Regan, Murray Weidenbaum, Elizabeth Dole, Administrator Cardenas and guests (see attached) PRESS PLAN: Press Pool Photo Coverage SEQUENCE OF EVENTS: 11:00 AM You enter the Cabinet Room and proceed around the table greeting your guests en route to your seat. Once seated, the press pool enters for brief photos. On press departure, you offer brief remarks and take a few questions. 11:15 AM You thank your guests and depart.

C. 20006 202-347-7459 (o) TALKING POINTS FOR MEETING WITH SMALL BUSINESS -- Your visit, through the auspices of Elizabeth's office, is a very welcome one indeed. Few groups are as close to my heart as the small businessmen and women of America. You truly are the backbone of our economic system for, without you, growth would slow to a crawl. I know you've created more than 80% of our nation's new jobs in recent years. -- Government has too long been at cross-purposes with you, and I intend to reverse the trend of ever-greater government intrusion into your everyday lives. -- Your support and assistance was critical to the passage of my spending cuts, but this was only the first in a series of steps necessary to bring vitality back to our economy. I need your support on my tax proposals. -- I'm committed to a program of responsible government spending, stable monetary growth, the elimination of unnecessary regulation, and a tax environment that encourages and rewards work and saving. -- Our three-year, across-the-board tax rate cuts are critical. They are evenly distributed and, unlike the Ways and Means proposal, are an actual re- duction in taxes -- not a disguised tax increase. My liberalization of IRA and Keough participation and relief on Estate and Gift Taxes are de- signed to help you keep your hard-earned profits. -- You have a philosophical home here and can count on us to work year after year for additional tax relief for small business. I hope I can count on your support to get this first piece of tax relief legislation enacted. C THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON JULY 13, 1981 MEETING WITH JAMES ROOSEVELT DATE: JULY 15, 1981 TIME: 11:30 a.m. (15 minutes) LOCATION: OVAL OFFICE FROM: GREGORY of NEWELL I. PURPOSE To discuss proposed activities commemorating the 100th anniversary of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's birth (January 30, 1982). II. BACKGROUND The centennial of Franklin D. Roosevelt's birth is January 30, 1982. A committee has been formed to commemorate this occasion. John Roosevelt, who passed away in April, 1981, had invited the President to lay a wreath at the former President's grave on January 30th. Mr. James Roosevelt may re-issue that invitation. James Roosevelt may also mention his desire to be reappointed to the President's Commission on Executive Exchange. Lyn Nofziger's office indicates that he will be appointed to a third term on the Commission. Although a life-long Democrat, James Roosevelt supported the Reagan-Bush ticket in 1980. In a recent letter he sent to the President inviting him to attend Chapman College's Founder's Day, Mr. Roosevelt recounts finding a quote of his father's while browsing through some old books: "Are you better off than you were last year?" Reminded of the President's campaign slogan, "Are you better off than you were four years ago," Mr. Roosevelt wrote, "How strongly I feel that if the question is asked again, we will be able to say, 'Yes, we are!'" III. PARTICIPANTS The President James Roosevelt Mike Deaver IV. PRESS PLAN White House photographer, Press Pool V. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS 11:30 a.m. The President greets Mr. Roosevelt in the Oval Office 11:45 a.m. The meeting concludes.

DOLE SUBJECT: Labor Leaders' Reception We are delighted at your attendance tonight at the Labor Leaders' reception at the Tayloe House. Attached you will find an updated list of those union leaders who will be in attendance. An asterisk indicates those who have expressed support for your economic recovery program. This "off-the-premises" reception is an across-the-board out- reach to enable key members of the White House and the Labor Department to establish a dialogue with members of the union community who might not otherwise have an opportunity for discussion. In addition to those who are publicly supportive of you, there will be union leaders who have adopted a "wait and see" attitude as well as those who have been critical of the Administration. Virtually all in attendance applaud your stand on national defense issues. The evening is intended to be social in nature with no press photos inside. It is requested that you offer very brief informal remarks sometime during your appearance. Thank you for your participation.
