WASHINGTON
September 15, 1981
MEETING:
With Black College Representatives and
Supporters of Black College Day
LOCATION:
State Dining Room
TIME:
12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
FROM:
Elizabeth H. Dole
I.
PURPOSE: To sign the New Executive Order on Black Colleges.
II. BACKGROUND: The participants represent a broad cross section
of Black College supporters, many of whom are staunch supporters
of your Administration. Included in this group are Black Col-
lege Presidents, alumni officers and student government officers;
church officials and various organizations who have been
extremely visible in their support of Black Colleges; and some
of your key Black appointees.
The majority of those present are deeply involved with and
committed to Black College Day, which will be held September 29,
1981. Last year you released a statement in support of Black
College Day. In 1980, there was one big rally in Washington, D.C.
in support of Black Colleges. This year, since there is more
emphasis on the states, Tony Brown (coordinator of Black College
Day) will have 16 regional rallies.
There have been many requests for a new Executive Order from
this Administration. The Carter Executive Order was considered
by many Black College supporters as weak and not fully supported
by his Administration. This Executive Order is further reinforce-
ment of your commitment to assist Black Colleges.
III. PARTICIPANTS:
(SEE ATTACHED LIST AT TAB A)
IV. PRESS PLAN: Open Press.

FROM:
Elizabeth H. Dole
all
PURPOSE: To thank those representatives from a number of constituencies
who worked hard to see that your tax package was passed by the Congress.
BACKGROUND: The tax package success was due in large part to the grass-
roots efforts of a number of individuals and organizations. The group
will include representatives from the business sector, trade associations,
ethnic and minority groups, political supporters, and state and local
officials. All of them, and/or their respective organizations, mobilized
their resources to convince the members of Congress to vote for the
bi-partisan tax package.
PARTICIPANTS: Approximately 1,000 guests
PRESS PLAN:
Open press coverage
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS:
5:30 pm You and Mrs. Reagan proceed to the tent on the South

of the tent. The Marine Band will be seated on the

with the guests as you proceed out the tent the same
way you entered.

THAT IN AN ERA OF BDGT CUTS, BLACK COLLEGES &
UNIV's WILL ACTUALLY RECEIVE A $9.6 MIL.
INCRS IN FED'L TITLE III FUNDS --
A JUMP OF ALMOST 8%,
IN OUR CONTINUING REVIEW OF EXECUTIVE

I AM HAPPY TDAY TO SIGN A NEW
EXEC. ORDER THAT WILL STRENGTHEN.. FED'L
COMMITMNT TO HISTORICALLY BLCK COLLEGES,
WHILE SEEKING NEW WAYS FOR, PRIVATE SECTOR
TO INCRS ITS SUPPORT FOR THS VITAL INSTITUTNS.

OUR COMMITMENT TAKES SEVERAL FORMS:
FIRST THE EXEC. ORDER COMMITS US TO

SPONSORED PROGRMS.
SECONDLY, THIS ORDER MANDATES GOVT-WIDE
COORDINATN TO ENSURE THT THESE COLLEGES &

NOW, WE ALL KNOW THT. FED'L GOVT HAS A
TROUBLESM HIST. OF ISSUING REPORTS WITH
NO TEETH IN THEM. THIS ADMIN. BLIEVS IN
SETTING MEASURABL OBJECTIVES -- & THEN
TURNING LOOSE THE CREATIVE RESOURCES TO

TO ENSURE THAT
.ANNUAL FED'L
PLAN CALLED FOR IN THIS ORDER GETS RESULTS,
I AM DIRECTING SEC'Y OF EDUC. BELL TO
SUBMIT AN ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REPORT ON

HISTORICALLY BLCK COLLEGES.
FINALLY, THIS EXEC. ORDER BREAKS NEW
GROUND BY CALLING ON. SEC'Y OF EDUC. TO
ENCOURAGE PRIVATE SECTOR INITIATIVES IN
ASSISTNG HISTORICALLY BLCK INSTITUTNS.
THE FED'L GOVT'S ROLE CAN BE TO PROVIDE EQUAL
OPPORTUNITY, BUT. PRIVATE SECTOR HAS AN
EVEN GREATER POTENTIAL, & A CHALLENGING
RESPONSIBILITY, TO PROVIDE DIRECT ASSISTANCE
TO THS INSTITUTNS.
7
WE SHOULD REMEMBR THT, JUST AS IN. PAST,
THE FUTURE OF THS SCHOOLS WILL DPND, MORE
THAN ANYTHNG ELSE, ON. EFFORTS OF BLACK AM's.

TREMENDOUS SOURCE OF PRIDE,

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
September 14, 1981
MEETING WITH REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP
DATE:
Tuesday, September 14, 1981
LOCATION:
The Cabinet Room
TIME:
9:30 a.m. (one hour)
FROM:
MAX L. FRIEDERSDORF
w.b.
I. PURPOSE
To discuss the Fall legislative schedule with the Republican
Leadership, particularly AWACS and budget matters. This will
be an opportunity to lobby the Leadership on supporting the
sale of F-15 enhancements and AWACS to the Saudis and to
brief the Leaders on further Presidential initiatives re-
garding the budget, and obtain the Leadership attitudes on
the budget and economy.
II. BACKGROUND
This will be the first Presidential meeting with the Republican
Congressional Leadership since Congress returned following the
August recess. Much major legislation remains to be considered
before Congress adjourns its first session, probably in November.
Among major items scheduled for this Fall are: AWACS, the Farm
Bill, Second Concurrent Budget Resolution, Debt Ceiling Increase,
the O'Connor nomination, appropriations bills, and Continuing
Resolution.
However, the economy, particularly high interest rates, are
dominating conversation on Capitol Hill. In the Senate,
Majority Leader Howard Baker and key Senators (Dole, Domenici,
Hatfield, Stevens, Jepsen, and Garn) have produced a set of
recommendations concerning the budget and the economy (see
Tab a) which they will present to the President. Bob Michel
and the House Republicans will also make some economic and
budget recommendations.
III. PARTICIPANTS
See Tab b.
IV. PRESS PLAN
Announce to press; photo opportunity.

V. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
The Leaders will enter the Northwest Gate, proceed to the
West Lobby before joining the President in the Cabinet
Room (See Tab c)
Attachment: Talking Points (See Tab d)

TAB A
SUGGESTED OUTLINE OF PRESENTATION TO PRESIDENT
Here is what we think the President should hear, in simple
terms:
1. Don't panic and don't be defensive;
2. Go on the offense by emphasizing the positive;
3. Make a major economic address to the people, and
implicitly to Wall Street at the same time, noting the true
economic situation and the prospects for growth within the
next year;
4. Don't promise immediate relief from high interest
rates;
5. Downplay deficits and avoid specific deficit numbers;
6. As the second-installment of your economic plan, reveal
the general thrust of your new restraint package using these
approximate FY1982 levels of cuts:
#2B
a.
$4-5 billion in outlays restraint in defense;
b. $2-3 billion in additional non-defense, discretionary
appropriated restraint;
C. $4-5 billion in additional restraint in entitlements,
over and above that restraint already contained in your
budget recommendations;
7. Begin, privately, a phased-in program of revenue
increases, consistent with supply-side, investment-oriented
policies in the general range of: FY82--$ billion; FY83--$6-7
billion; and FY84--$12 billion.
8. Establish a Presidential level commission, involving
Senators and Congressmen and others, to investigate present
levels of interest rates and the role of the financial community
-2- -
in. setting such rates;
8. Don't be rushed into any deviation from course,
such as credit controls or radical switches from general
monetary restraint.

Talking Points on AWACS
-- I would like to discuss what I consider to be the key
foreign policy issue we will face over the next six weeks: the sale
of the air defense enhancement package to Saudi Arabia.
-- A great deal of opposition has been generated by this
proposal, but it is opposition based on misunderstanding. I want
to set the record straight on where I stand on the proposal.
The most important reason for proceeding with the sale is
that it makes a substantial contribution to the security of the
United States and the West. I would not support the sale were it
otherwise.
-- Saudi Arabia must have the capability to defend its oil
facilities from attack by regional adversaries. We have learned
from the Iran-Iraq war that there is no particular sanctity for oil
facilities in regional conflicts.
-- The Saudi oil facilities are concentrated and highly
vulnerable to an air attack. The Saudi Air Force cannot, at the
present time, provide an adequate defense.
-- The loss of certain key oil facilities would halt the
flow of Saudi oil for more than a year, causing economic havoc and
deep security dangers for the West. As long as we and our principal
Allies remain dependent on Saudi oil, we must ensure that these
facilities are adequately defended.
-- Saudi Arabia looks to us to provide for its security.
We will take steps to draw Saudi Arabia closer to us.
--
Moreover, what we are doing with Saudi Arabia represents
an important next step for the peace process. To move forward,
Saudi Arabia, as the most influential of the moderate Arab states,
must play a greater role. We are encouraging this.
-- I have just finished two days of meetings with Prime
Minister Begin. We have reached important understandings concerning
our future cooperation. The Prime Minister stated -- and I agree --
that we have advanced our relationship significantly. I listened
to his views on this sale and he listened to mine.
-- This package will not pose any substantial threat to the
security of Israel. Each of the four elements in the Saudi air
defense enhancement package has been carefully tailored to ensure that i
makes good military sense without providing a capability which exceeds
Saudi needs. The limitations of the various elements, including
AWACS, and the growing superiority of the Israeli Air Force, will
preclude Saudi Arabia from ever posing any credible threat to the security
of Israel.
-2-
-- Stringent safeguards will be established to ensure that
the equipment will not be compromised. Even so, we are confident
that, even should an unforeseen compromise occur, there will be
no major damage to our national security. This is because the
technology involved is really quite old and not particularly
sensitive.
-- This sale makes an essential contribution to our national
security and to the economic health of the West. I therefore fully
support the sale and intend to do whatever is necessary to ensure
that it is completed.
-- Because of the importance of this sale to our national
security, I urgently ask each of you to help in its passage. It
is apparent that there is an awful lot of misunderstanding of this
issue on the Hill. In fact, most of those who are committed against
the sale have not even been briefed on the details of the proposal
and our case for it.
-- Your help in presenting the facts about the sale will be
of crucial importance. Dick Allen and his teams from State and
Defense will provide briefings on the package. I ask that you
encourage your colleagues not to commit against the sale until
they have been briefed.
-- I look upon this issue as truly bipartisan in nature
because of the contribution it makes to our national security
interests. The security of our energy resources and our national
credibility as a reliable security partner depend upon the consum-
mation of this sale.

PARTICIPANTS IN EXECUTIVE EXCHANGE -- SEPTEMBER 15, 1981
I'd like to welcome you all to the White House. America
has always been blessed with a cadre of efficient managers.
Spread out throughout business and Government, a host of
individuals like yourselves make the decisions that keep the
economy functioning and the Nation prospering.
You have been selected for a program that recognizes
the importance of these individual executives and the decisions
they make. The Commission on Executive Exchange was established
in the final year of the Johnson Administration. Even then
there was a growing alienation between Government and business.
This program was seen as one method of dealing with the
problem.
You are being offered a chance to see what it is like
on the other side of the line. Those of you in Government
service will get a better chance to see what effect your
actions have on your private sector counterparts. Those of
you from the business community will, hopefully, gain a
better appreciation for the legal responsibilities of those
in Government.
Your presence here today suggests that you are a highly
motivated individual with career potential. Many of you are
making financial sacrifices to participate in the program.
Well, it's not really a sacrifice; it's an investment. What
Page 2
you learn this year will pay dividends in the future --
dividends for you, for your employer, and for the country.
There is much talk about a partnership between the
public and private sector. This program is a fine example
of what can be done.
So I want to wish you luck. I am certain that you will
look back on this year as one of the most rewarding experiences
in your career. Thank you.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
September 15, 1981
MEETING:
With Black College Representatives and
Supporters of Black College Day
LOCATION:
State Dining Room
TIME:
12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.
FROM:
Elizabeth H. Dole
I.
PURPOSE: To sign the New Executive Order on Black Colleges.
II. BACKGROUND: The participants represent a broad cross section
of Black College supporters, many of whom are staunch supporters
of your Administration. Included in this group are Black Col-
lege Presidents, alumni officers and student government officers;
church officials and various organizations who have been
extremely visible in their support of Black Colleges; and some
of your key Black appointees.
The majority of those present are deeply involved with and
committed to Black College Day, which will be held September 29,
1981. Last year you released a statement in support of Black
College Day. In 1980, there was one big rally in Washington, D.C.
in support of Black Colleges. This year, since there is more
emphasis on the states, Tony Brown (coordinator of Black College
Day) will have 16 regional rallies.
There have been many requests for a new Executive Order from
this Administration. The Carter Executive Order was considered
by many Black College supporters as weak and not fully supported
by his Administration. This Executive Order is further reinforce-
ment of your commitment to assist Black Colleges.
