Conder is the newly elected President of the National
Association of Counties (NACo). Conder is in Washington
for "Conder Day" when he is meeting with various Cabinet
Secretaries and members of Congress. Conder's theme

a partnership between the private and public sectors.
Conder, a conservative Democrat supported the budget and
tax bills. NACo has been supportive of the Economic
Recovery Program. You sent a taped message to NACo
during their annual meeting in July, 1981.
Conder will most likely bring up the issue of the Admin-
istration's proposal to cut General Revenue Sharing by
12 percent in Fiscal Year 82. Attached is a copy of the
letter Conder sent concerning the proposal. (See attached
talking point for your response.)
Conder may also ask you to speak to their annual meeting
which will be held in July, 1982 in Baltimore.

SPEECH TO IMF & WORLD BANK GROUP
SEPTEMBER 29, 1981 -- 10:00 AM
MR. CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT CLAUSEN,
MANAGING DIRECTOR (DE LAH-ROAH-ZEE-AIRE),
GOVERNORS OF THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND
AND THE WORLD BANK GROUP, DISTINGUISHED
COLLEAGUES.
ON BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
I AM DELIGHTED TO WELCOME YOU TO
WASHINGTON FOR YOUR 36TH ANNUAL MEETING.
IT SEEMS YOUR DELIBERATIONS TAKE ON ADDED
IMPORTANCE EACH YEAR, AND THIS YEAR WILL
BE NO EXCEPTION
I BELIEVE YOUR MEETING
CAN STRENGTHEN THE NATIONAL RESOLVE AND
INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION REQUIRED FOR THE
GLOBAL ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND GROWTH WE ALL
ARE STRIVING TO ACHIEVE.
HANDWRITING
FILE
PAGE 2
I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO ADDRESS YOUR DISTINGUISHED GROUP.
IT
IS CUSTOMARY TO BEGIN A SPEECH BEFORE THIS
ANNUAL MEETING WITH A PORTRAIT OF THE
SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES WE FACE
TODAY IN THE WORLD ECONOMY.
THOSE PROBLEMS
AND CHALLENGES ARE CERTAINLY THERE -
IN FORCE - AND I WILL RETURN IN A MINUTE
TO REVIEW THEM
BUT FIRST, LET ME TAKE JUST A MOMENT
TO SALUTE THE INSTITUTIONS YOU REPRESENT.
THE IMF & WORLD BANK GROUP HAVE CONTRIBUTED
ENORMOUSLY TO THE SPREAD OF HOPE - TO A
BETTER LIFE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD COMMUNITY.
IN THE PROCESS, THEY HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES
CAPABLE OF CHANGE, OF ADAPTING TO NEW
CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE NEEDS OF NEW MEMBERS,
PAGE 3
YOUR INSTITUTIONS HAVE WORKED
TIRELESSLY TO PRESERVE THE FRAMEWORK FOR
INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC COOPERATION AND TO
GENERATE CONFIDENCE & COMPETITION IN THE
WORLD ECONOMY
THEY HAVE BEEN INSPIRED
BY THE IDEAL OF A FAR BETTER WORLD IN
WHICH ECONOMIC GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT
WOULD SPREAD TO ALL PARTS OF THE GLOBE
FOR MORE THAN 3 DECADES, THEY HAVE WORKED
TOWARD THESE GOALS & CONTRIBUTED TO
RESULTS THAT ARE NOW CLEARLY VISIBLE TO ALL
THIS PAST DECADE IN PARTICULAR HAS
TESTED THE METTLE & DEMONSTRATED THE
STRENGTH & MERIT OF THE WORLD BANK & IMF
AS THE DEVELOPMENT REPORT OF THE WORLD
BANK ITSELF NOTES:
PAGE 4
"THE 1970s WITNESSED INTERNATIONAL
ECONOMIC CONVULSIONS AT LEAST AS SERIOUS
AS ANY THAT MAY BE THOUGHT HIGHLY PROBABLE
IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS
THE WORLD ECONOMY'S
CAPACITY TO WITHSTAND SHOCKS HAS BEEN
SEVERELY TESTED & THE TESTS WERE NOT PASSED
WITH ENTIRE SUCCESS.
BUT PARTS OF THE
DEVELOPING WORLD HAVE COME THROUGH
REMARKABLY WELL."
WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE OUR PROGRESS &
TALK ABOUT IT MORE IN OUR CONVERSATIONS
WITH ONE ANOTHER
THIS IN NO WAY DENIES
THE IMMENSE PROBLEMS WE FACE
BUT
WITHOUT SOME SENSE OF WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED,
WITHOUT SOME ENCOURAGEMENT TO BELIEVE
IN OUR MISSION, WE WILL SUCCUMB TO
DEFEATISM OR SURRENDER TO ILL-ADVISED
SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS THAT CAN NEVER YIELD
TO GRANDIOSE SCHEMES.
PAGE 5
TO LOOK AT THE CHALLENGES BEFORE US,
LET US RECALL THAT VISION WE ORIGINALLY
SET OUT TO REACH THROUGH INTERNATIONAL
COOPERATION
THE SECOND WORLD WAR
HAD LEFT US WITH THE REALIZATION, BORN
OUT OF THE SUFFERING & THE SACRIFICES
OF THOSE YEARS, THAT NEVER AGAIN MUST
HUMAN INITIATIVE & INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES
BE DENIED OR SUPPRESSED.
THE INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL & ECONOMIC
INSTITUTIONS CREATED AFTER 1945 RESTED
UPON A BELIEF THAT THE KEY TO NATIONAL
DEVELOPMENT & HUMAN PROGRESS IS INDIVIDUAL
FREEDOM, BOTH POLITICAL & ECONOMIC.
THE BRETTON WOODS INSTITUTIONS & THE
"GATT" ESTABLISHED GENERALIZED RULES &
PROCEDURES TO FACILITATE INDIVIDUAL
ENTERPRISE & AN OPEN INTERNATIONAL TRADING
& FINANCIAL SYSTEM
PAGE 6
THEY RECOGNIZED THAT ECONOMIC INCENTIVES
& INCREASING COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITIES
WOULD BE ESSENTIAL TO ECONOMIC RECOVERY
& GROWTH.
WE WHO LIVE IN FREE MARKET SOCIETIES
BELIEVE THAT GROWTH, PROSPERITY, &
ULTIMATELY HUMAN FULFILLMENT, ARE CREATED
FROM THE BOTTOM UP, NOT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN.
ONLY WHEN THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS ALLOWED
TO INVENT & CREATE, ONLY WHEN INDIVIDUALS
ARE GIVEN A PERSONAL STAKE IN DECIDING
ECONOMIC POLICIES AND BENEFITTING FROM
THEIR SUCCESS - ONLY THEN CAN SOCIETIES
REMAIN ECONOMICALLY ALIVE, DYNAMIC,
PROSPEROUS, PROGRESSIVE & FREE.
TRUST THE PEOPLE. THIS IS THE ONE
IRREFUTABLE LESSON OF THE ENTIRE POST-WAR
PERIOD CONTRADICTING THE NOTION THAT RIGID
GOVERNMENT CONTROLS ARE ESSENTIAL TO
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
PAGE 7
THE SOCIETIES WHICH HAVE ACHIEVED THE
MOST SPECTACULAR, BROAD-BASED ECONOMIC
PROGRESS IN THE SHORTEST PERIOD OF TIME
ARE NOT THE MOST TIGHTLY CONTROLLED,
NOR NECESSARILY THE BIGGEST IN SIZE,
OR THE WEALTHIEST IN NATURAL RESOURCES,
NO, WHAT UNITES THEM ALL IS THEIR
WILLINGNESS TO BELIEVE IN THE MAGIC OF
THE MARKET PLACE,
EVERYDAY LIFE CONFIRMS THE FUNDAMENTALLY
HUMAN & DEMOCRATIC IDEAL THAT INDIVIDUAL
EFFORT DESERVES ECONOMIC REWARD.
NOTHING
IS MORE CRUSHING TO THE SPIRIT OF WORKING
PEOPLE AND TO THE VISION OF DEVELOPMENT
ITSELF THAN THE ABSENCE OF REWARD FOR HONEST
TOIL & LEGITIMATE RISK
SO LET ME SPEAK
PLAINLY
WE CANNOT HAVE PROSPERITY &
SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT ECONOMIC
FREEDOM.
NOR CAN WE PRESERVE OUR PERSONAL &
POLITICAL FREEDOMS WITHOUT ECONOMIC FREEDOM,
PAGE 8
GOVERNMENTS THAT SET OUT TO REGIMENT
THEIR PEOPLE WITH THE STATED OBJECTIVE
OF PROVIDING SECURITY & LIBERTY HAVE ENDED
UP LOSING BOTH
THOSE WHICH PUT FREEDOM
AS THE 1ST PRIORITY AL20 FIND THEY HAVE
ALSO PROVIDED SECURITY & ECONOMIC PROGRESS
THE UNITED STATES IS PROUD OF ITS
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GOALS & INSTITUTIONS
OF POST-WAR DEVELOPMENT.
YOU CAN COUNT
ON US TO CONTINUE TO SHOULDER OUR
RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE CHALLENGES WE
FACE TODAY
WE SEE 2 OF OVERRIDING IMPORTANCE:
-- RESTORING THE GROWTH & VITALITY
OF THE WORLD ECONOMY;
-- AND ASSURING THAT ALL COUNTRIES,
ESPECIALLY THE POOREST ONES, PARTICIPATE
FULLY IN THE PROCESS OF GROWTH &
DEVELOPMENT,
PAGE 9
BUT LET US REMEMBER, THE MOST IMPORTANT
CONTRIBUTION ANY COUNTRY CAN MAKE TO WORLD
DEVELOPMENT IS TO PURSUE SOUND ECONOMIC
POLICIES AT HOME.
REGRETTABLY, MANY
INDUSTRIAL COUNTRIES, INCLUDING MY OWN,
HAVE NOT MADE THIS CONTRIBUTION IN THE
RECENT PAST
WE HAVE OVERSPENT, OVERTAXED
& OVERREGULATED, WITH THE RESULT BEING
SLOW GROWTH & SOARING INFLATION
THIS
STAGFLATION, AS THE IMF ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES, IS ONE OF TWO BASIC PROBLEMS WE MUST
QUICKLY OVERCOME.
THE UNITED STATES HAS SET ITS COURSE
TO ECONOMIC RECOVERY
OUR PROGRAM IS
COMPREHENSIVE, AND AS I REMINDED THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE LAST THURSDAY EVENING,
IT WILL REQUIRE EFFORT & PATIENCE.
BUT
THE REWARD IS WORTH WORKING FOR
PAGE 10
BY REDUCING THE RATE OF GOVERNMENT
SPENDING, HONORING OUR COMMITMENT TO BALANCE
THE BUDGET, REDUCING TAX RATES TO ENCOURAGE
PRODUCTIVE INVESTMENT & PERSONAL SAVINGS,
ELIMINATING EXCESSIVE GOVERNMENT REGULATION,
& MAINTAINING A STABLE MONETARY POLICY
WE ARE CONVINCED WE WILL ENTER A NEW
ERA OF SUSTAINED, NONINFLATIONARY GROWTH &
PROSPERITY, THE LIKES OF WHICH WE HAVE
NOT SEEN FOR MANY YEARS.
AND AS THE WORLD'S LARGEST SINGLE
MARKET, A PROSPEROUS, GROWING U.S. ECONOMY
WILL MEAN INCREASED TRADING OPPORTUNITIES
FOR OTHER NATIONS.
AMERICA NOW RECEIVES
HALF OF ALL NON-OPEC DEVELOPING COUNTRY
EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURED GOODS TO ALL
INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES, EVEN THOUGH
WE ACCOUNT FOR ONLY 1/3 OF THE TOTAL GROSS
NATIONAL PRODUCT OF THOSE INDUSTRIALIZED
COUNTRIES.
PAGE 11
LOWER U.S. INFLATION & INTEREST RATES
WILL TRANSLATE INTO INCREASED AVAILABILITY
OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES AT AFFORDABLE
RATES.
ALREADY, CAPITAL MARKETS IN THE
UNITED STATES ARE MORE ACCESSIBLE TO THE
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES THAN CAPITAL MARKETS
ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.
NO AMERICAN
CONTRIBUTION CAN DO MORE FOR DEVELOPMENT
THAN A GROWING, PROSPEROUS U.S. ECONOMY
THE DOMESTIC POLICIES OF DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES ARE LIKEWISE THE MOST CRITICAL
CONTRIBUTION THEY CAN MAKE TO DEVELOPMENT.
UNLESS A NATION PUTS ITS OWN FINANCIAL
& ECONOMIC HOUSE IN ORDER, NO AMOUNT OF
AID WILL PRODUCE PROGRESS.
MANY COUNTRIES
ARE RECOGNIZING THIS FACT & TAKING DRAMATIC
STEPS TO GET THEIR ECONOMIES BACK ON A
SOUND FOOTING.
I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY
I
I HAVE A FEW SCARS TO PROVE THAT FACT.
BUT IT MUST BE DONE.
PAGE 12
ONLY WITH A FOUNDATION OF SOUND
DOMESTIC POLICIES CAN THE INTERNATIONAL
ECONOMIC SYSTEM CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND
IMPROVE.
MY OWN GOVERNMENT IS COMMITTED
TO POLICIES OF FREE TRADE, UNRESTRICTED
INVESTMENT & OPEN CAPITAL MARKETS.
THE
FINANCIAL FLOWS GENERATED BY TRADE INVESTMENT
& GROWTH CAPITAL FLOWS FAR EXCEED OFFICIAL
DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE FUNDS PROVIDED
TO DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
AT THE SAME TIME, WE ARE SENSITIVE
TO THE NEEDS OF THE LOW-INCOME COUNTRIES.
THEY CAN BENEFIT FROM INTERNATIONAL TRADE
& GROWTH IN THE INDUSTRIAL COUNTRIES BECAUSE
THEY EXPORT MANY RAW MATERIALS & PRIMARY
PRODUCTS THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD NEEDS
BUT THEY ALSO DEPEND UPON OUR AID TO
STRENGTHEN THEIR ECONOMIES, DIVERSIFY THEIR
EXPORTS & WORK TOWARD SELF-SUFFICIENCY.
PAGE 13
THE UNITED STATES RECOGNIZES THIS
OVER 3 DECADES, WE HAVE PROVIDED MORE THAN
$130 BILLION IN CONCESSIONAL ASSISTANCE,
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES
TO BE AS COMPASSIONATE & CARING AS ANY
ON EARTH
AND WE WILL REMAIN SO
WE STRONGLY SUPPORT THE WORLD BANK.
AND BECAUSE OF OUR STRONG SUPPORT, WE FEEL
A SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE
CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTIONS TO MAKE IT MORE
EFFECTIVE.
WE BELIEVE THESE SUGGESTIONS
WILL PERMIT IT TO GENERATE INCREASED FUNDS
FOR DEVELOPMENT & TO SUPPORT THE EFFORTS
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES ARE MAKING TO STRENGTHEN
THEIR ECONOMIES
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT
OUR BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS, WE ARE COMMITTED
TO PROVIDING THE BANK & IDA RESOURCES FOR
THEM TO CONTINUE & IMPROVE THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS
TO DEVELOPMENT,
PAGE 14
WE KNOW THAT STIMULATING PRIVATE
INVESTMENT IS ALSO CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCE CORPORATION
PLAYS THE LEADING ROLE IN THE BANK FAMILY
IN SUPPORT OF SUCH INVESTMENT.
GIVEN
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS ROLE, WE HOPE IT
CAN BE ENHANCED
WE BELIEVE ALL FACETS
OF THE BANK CAN PLAY A MORE ACTIVE ROLE
IN GENERATING PRIVATE RESOURCES & STIMULATING
INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE IN THE DEVELOPMENT
EFFORT
THE IMF ALSO PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE
IN ESTABLISHING CONDITIONS TO ENCOURAGE
PRIVATE CAPITAL FLOWS TO DEFICIT COUNTRIES
BY REACHING AGREEMENTS WITH THE IMF ON A
SOUND, COMPREHENSIVE, STABILIZATION
PROGRAM - AND BY DEMONSTRATING ITS
DETERMINATION TO IMPLEMENT THAT PROGRAM -
A BORROWING COUNTRY SIGNALS PRIVATE MARKETS
OF ITS INTENT TO SOLVE ITS OWN ECONOMIC
PROBLEMS
PAGE 15
WE ARE COMMITTED TO A PRAGMATIC
SEARCH FOR SOLUTIONS TO PRODUCE LASTING
RESULTS.
LET US PUT AN END TO THE DIVISIVE
RHETORIC OF US VERSUS THEM, NORTH VERSUS
SOUTH,
INSTEAD LET US DECIDE WHAT ALL
OF US 1 BOTH DEVELOPED & DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES - CAN ACCOMPLISH TOGETHER,
OUR PLANS FOR THE CARIBBEAN BASIN ARE ONE
EXAMPLE OF HOW WE WOULD LIKE TO HARNESS
ECONOMIC ENERGIES WITHIN A REGION TO PROMOTE
STRONGER GROWTH,
THE DESIGN & SUCCESS
OF THIS UNDERTAKING DEPENDS UPON THE
COOPERATION OF MANY DEVELOPED & DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES.
MY COLLEAGUES & I ALSO LOOK FORWARD
TO THE UPCOMING SUMMIT MEETING AT CANCUN,
MEXICO.
THAT OCCASION WILL PROVIDE US
WITH FRESH OPPORTUNITIES TO ADDRESS THE
SERIOUS PROBLEMS WE FACE & ENCOURAGE EACH
OTHER IN OUR COMMON MISSION
PAGE 16
IN CONCLUSION, EACH OF OUR SOCIETIES
HAS A DESTINY TO PURSUE
WE HAVE CHOSEN
OURS IN LIGHT OF OUR EXPERIENCE, OUR STRENGTH
& OUR FAITH.

SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS FOR MEETING WITH J. RICHARD CONDER
SEPTEMBER 29, 1981
-- I want to assure you that I do not support a "phase
out" of revenue sharing until such a time that we
can identify an alternate source of funding such as
a federal excise tax and a transfer mechanism to
replace General Revenue Sharing.
-- I assure you that we will consult with county officials
during this process.
We look forward to continuing
the good working partnership we have had with NACo
in the months and years ahead.

DECISIONS, RATHER THAN TAKING THE EASY WAY
