BAKER III I. PURPOSE To lessen Dave Martin's concern about our using Fort Drum, an Army reserve base in Martin's district (30th), as a temporary detention site for holding aliens -- primarily Haitians and Cubans -- who have entered the U.S. illegally. II. BACKGROUND As part of this Administration's overall immigration policy, you have authorized a decision to detain aliens arriving illegally at U.S. shores and borders, pending resolution of their status. Detention combines with interdiction at sea and legislation to streamline asylum procedures as part of an overall effort to stem the flow of illegal aliens -- primarily Haitians -- to this country, and South Florida in particular. After a thorough search, Defense, Justice, HHS, and the White House have determined that Fort Drum in Watertown, New York, is the only site available with required capacity (5,000 to 10,000) and a minimum of impact on Defense activities. Dave Martin, freshman Republican Congressman from the Watertown district and a strong supporter, has written to you to express his opposition to the selection of this site. He has energized the New York Republican delegation to write on his behalf; Congressman Trent Lott has telephoned on Martin's behalf as well. -2- Martin acknowledges that there would be economic benefits for the depressed Watertown community, but has expressed the following concerns: 1. Weather: Winters are very severe in Fort Drum -- 12° average in January, with annual average snowfall of 60 inches. The Administration will be perceived as treating these Haitians inhumanely by locating them in (currently) uninsulated barracks. 2. Defense Activity: Martin's goal is to facilitate a build-up of Defense activity at Fort Drum to bring economic benefits to his district. He is very con- cerned that use of Fort Drum for Haitians will set back these efforts. Attached are talking points which address these concerns, describe the economic benefits, and indicate our desire to work with him on other needs he may have as a Congress- man. It is hoped that we will be able to win his acceptance for this effort, which will defuse the opposition from other members of Congress. III. PARTICIPANTS President Reagan Congressman Dave Martin White House Staff James A. Baker Max Friedersdorf IV. PRESS PLAN No press. V. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS -- Greet Martin -- Note his support -- Inform him of our decision to use Fort Drum; attempt to persuade him not to oppose our decision; offer to help him. SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS FOR MEETING WITH CONGRESSMAN DAVE MARTIN (R-NY) A. Introduction -- We have a major problem -- inherited from the Carter Administration -- of a steady flow of illegal aliens to our shores and borders. Haitians, in particular, have been flowing to South Florida in increasing numbers since Carter stopped the policy of detaining them pending resolution of their status. -- After a nationwide search over a period of several months, we have determined that Fort Drum is the only site with the capacity required and with minimal impact on our defense activities. -- Fort Drum would be the temporary site for detaining 5,000 (a maximum of 10,000) aliens for a period of 12 to 24 months while we build a permanent facility. -- We recognize that this will be difficult for you politically. You have supported us in the past, and we at the White House want to do what we can to help you politically. -- For example, we have spoken with Secretary Weinberger who has indicated that he will work to build up further defense activity at Fort Drum and he could talk to you about that. TALKING POINTS (con't) B. Weather I know you are concerned about the perceived treatment of the Haitians: -- Army has noted that coal-generated heat in these barracks is so intense that during the winter, soldiers throw open the windows to bring down the heat. Past military experience indicates Ft. Drum could service aliens in winter. -- Secretary Weinberger has assured me that heating for these buildings -- sufficient for the Haitians -- will be provided. -- We will do whatever we can -- perhaps you have some suggestions here -- to make sure citizens understand that the Haitians are indeed being cared for properly. -- Use of Fort Drum will allow us to alleviate the very overcrowded conditions at Krome North in Miami -- resulting overall in more humane treatment. C. Economic Benefits -- I know Watertown is economically depressed and there are numerous economic benefits that will accrue to your district as a result of this decision. O Approximately 200 to 400 jobs would immediately become available: security personnel, admini- strative staff, coal stokers, etc. At the rate of $12,000 per person, this represents an annual sum of $2.4 to $4.8 million. TALKING POINTS (con't) O At least $15 million would ensue in the form of local contracts: food, laundry, administrative equipment. O With a work force of over 500 persons, the local community would reap additional benefits in terms of support and recreational services used by base personnel.

THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE STATEMENT OF DEFENSE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20301 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MEMORANDUM FOR JAMES BAKER SUBJECT: Fort Drum Here is some additional information on Fort Drum: Fort Drum is about as cold in the winter as Glasgow Air Force Base and slightly colder than Westover. The average temperature in January is about 10 F with lows around -20 F. Snowfall usually runs 10 - 20 inches per month, but over 140 inches fell in January 1977. All of Fort Drum's barracks have individual coal-fired, forced air furnaces. About 80% of them are ready to use; the rest could be put in shape quickly. The coal furnaces keep the buildings very warm. They have to be stoked by hand from outside. In January 1980, we conducted a major winter exercise with 16,500 troops there and had no trouble getting enough coal to keep them warm. The Army issues cold weather clothing to their troops there at a cost of about $180 each. Civilians could probably be adequately clothed cheaper from a commercial source. The local commercial power company limits Fort Drum to 5,000 KW. During the big January 1980 exercise, the demand peaked at 5,400 KW. If the demand were sustained at over 5,000 KW, we might need to supplement the commercial source with portable generators. We will need six to eight weeks to construct special security fences and lighting. I believe that additional supplies of coal, clothing, and food could be available by then. Enough bedding and cooking equipment is available at Fort Drum. The local economy around Fort Drum is depressed, with unemployment running about 10%. The 600 to 800 new jobs created and the $100 million or more pumped into the local economy should help quite a bit. Here are some examples of sensible things we could do to expand military activity at Fort Drum. Perhaps we could work out a long range plan with Dave Martin for these or similar actions: - Relocation of an active duty engineer battalion from Fort Meade. Dave Martin knows we plan to do this. The first company has already moved and the rest will follow as soon as permanent buildings have been completed. We might be able to accelerate this. Increase the frequency of Guard and Reserve combat exercises. We have - been conducting these joint air and ground force exercises about every other year. We could hold them annually to improve readiness. - Establishment of a regional Guard and Reserve training center for supply maintenance, and operation of the XM-1 main battle tank. This would mean new permanent construction and a new long-term mission. - Construction of simulator facilities to train Guard and Reserve on weapons that we cannot fire, like TOW and Dragon missiles. - Construction of additional large tank maintenance shops. They have one but could use more. - A number of smaller construction and facility up-grade projects to improve the barracks, dining halls, aviation hangar and runways, and base security systems. In summary, I see no major impediment to starting the detention camp quickly. It can mean immediate and long-term improvement in the local economy. San Kr willoy courser you any Ding additional need, as possible.

(Rohrabacher/TD) November 9, 1981 VIETNAM VETERANS LEADERSHIP PROGRAM, NOVEMBER 10, 1981 It is appropriate that on the eve of Veterans Day 1981 -- we meet to inaugurate a program aimed at helping a group of veterans that never received the thanks they deserved for their extraordinary courage and dedication. -- There is no need to reiterate the tragedy of Vietnam. This long, dragged out Southeast Asian conflict divided our Nation and damaged America's self image. -- Yet when called upon, there were millions of young Americans who did their duty and demonstrated courage and dedication in the finest tradition of the American military. -- I want to express my appreciation to these veterans with us today for their service during the war and for their continued voluntary service to the Nation. -- It is important to recognize that the vast majority of Vietnam veterans readjusted quickly after returning from Southeast Asia. Contrary to the stereotype, many of these fine young people have excelled in their endeavors. Those of you with us today are outstanding examples of this fact. Page 2 Nevertheless, there are those who have found it difficult to come to grips with problems that can be traced to their military service. The Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program is designed to draw volunteers from the pool of successful vets in order to provide guidance for those with lingering problems. This volunteer self-help program is within the spirit of brotherhood that has characterized American veterans of every war. Such comradery is even more important for those who fought in Vietnam. -- Those of you who will be doing your part to make this program a success deserve a special thanks. In these times of budget restrictions all of us must be aware that showing our gratitude to Vietnam veterans, and helping those still in need, will require more than Government tax dollars can provide. I hope that every American will follow your example and reach out individually to extend a hand of appreciation, and, where needed, a hand of assistance to all our fine Vietnam veterans. Americans should always remember that in a hostile world a nation's future is only as certain as the devotion of its soldiers -- and soldiers will be as loyal to the nation as the nation is loyal to them.
