Duberstein Kor D. I. PURPOSE To ask for support of the Broomfield-Carney-Stratton bipartisan nuclear arms control resolution. II. BACKGROUND The House is scheduled to consider Wednesday or Thursday of this week nuclear arms control resolutions. Two basic resolutions will be debated. One resolution, which was reported by the House Foreign Affairs Committee and is cosponsored by Committee Chairman Clement J. Zablocki (D-Wisconsin), Congressman Jonathan B. Bingham (D-New York), and 176 others, provides for an immediate "mutual and verifiable freeze on the testing, production, and further deployment of nuclear warheads, missiles and other delivery systems proceeding /to7 pursue substantial, equitable, and verifiable reductions" and prompt approval of the SALT II agreement. The Adminis- tration strongly opposes this resolution. The Administration-backed resolution cosponsored by Congress- men William S. Broomfield (R-Michigan), William Carney (R- New York) and Samuel S. Stratton (D-New York), and 171 others, which will be offered as an amendment in the nature of a substitute to the Zablocki resolution, endorses an equitable and verifiable START agreement that freezes strategic nuclear forces at "equal and substantially reduced levels." In a Presidential letter of July 23, all Members of the House were urged individually to support the Broomfield- 2 Carney-Stratton resolution as an indication of American unity in seeking a reduction to equal levels of nuclear weapons, thereby enhancing the negotiating position of Ambassador Rowny and the START team. The resolutions are open to amendment at any point. At least one amendment is expected to be offered to Zablocki; none to Broomfield. The legislative procedural strategy has been to push Members to support Broomfield notwithstanding the adoption of amendments as the only way to support the Administration and defeat Zablocki. Social, professional, and religious groups have been active in contacting Members to urge support for the immediate freeze proposal. III. PARTICIPANTS List attached. IV.

B. Oglesby, Jr. TALKING POINTS NUCLEAR ARMS CONTROL -- Since taking office, my foremost national security objective has been to reduce the risk of nuclear war. To help achieve this goal, we have embarked on START talks with the Soviet Union designed to negotiate reductions in the strategic arsenals of both sides. -- As we engage in these sensitive negotiations, we need to demonstrate clearly that the American people and Congress support the proposals carried by Ambassador Rowny to Geneva. -- The bipartisan resolution introduced by Bill Broomfield, Bill Carney, and Sam Stratton will do just that, and I strongly support their resolution. -- At the same time, I strongly oppose the House Foreign Affairs Committee freeze resolution. A freeze would lock the United States into a dangerous position of disadvantage and would remove the incentive for serious negotiation by the Soviets. In short, if your goal like mine is to reduce the risk of nuclear war, I urge you and your colleagues to vote for the Broomfield-Carney-Stratton resolution. -- I would like now to ask Secretaries Shultz and Weinberger to make additional comments.

During the second part of the presentation, the Bureau of the Census will present demographic data and describe the trends with which your adminis- tration must deal as it considers future public policy options. Parts three and four of the presentation will be discussed during Thursday's Cabinet meeting. 2. Maritime Policy. Following the presentation from the Office of Policy Development, the group will meet as the Cabinet Council on Commerce and Trade [you might want to indicate that anyone who wishes to excuse themselves from the Cabinet Council session is invited to do so; although, all Cabinet members are invited to stay if they wish]. Secretary Drew Lewis has provided a decision memo and an executive summary in the attached packet that describes the issues that have been discussed. While there is agreement on several items, several additional issues remain for you to consider and resolve. II. PARTICIPANTS A final list will be provided with the agenda at the meeting. III.

PURPOSE To indicate strong Presidential interest in the negotiations taking place in the House/Senate Conference Committee, meeting for the purpose of reaching an agreement on the tax increases and spending reductions mandated by the reconciliation pro- visions of the First Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 1983. II. BACKGROUND On August 3, a House/Senate Conference Committee began meeting to consider legislation necessary to achieve the tax increases and spending reductions falling within the jurisdiction of the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees. These savings were mandated by the reconciliation provisions of the Budget Resolution. Senator Robert Dole (R-Kansas) is Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and Congressman Dan Rostenkowski (D-Illinois) is Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Congressman Barber Conable (R-New York) is Ranking Minority Member of the House Ways and Means Committee and Senator Russell Long (D-Louisiana) is Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Finance Committee. All of these Members are conferees and their support is essential to achieving a tax and spending reduction bill which can pass both the House and the Senate. The reconciliation provisions of the Budget Resolution required these committees to achieve $17 billion in spending reductions over three years and $21 billion in tax increases for fiscal year 1983. The Senate Finance Committee achieved the mandated tax increases and spending reductions and the Senate passed the bill on July 23 by a vote of 50 to 47. On July 28, the House agreed to go to conference with the Senate on the bill without having a tax bill reported from the Ways and Means Committee or con- sidering the legislation on the Floor of the House. Many Members of the House of Representatives are adamantly opposed to the Senate bill as passed by that body. In their view, the Senate bill is flawed because the mix of tax increases - 2 - BACKGROUND (continued) versus the level of spending reductions is out of proportion. They dislike the idea of raising the $98 billion in new taxes over three years contained in the Senate bill. These Members also feel that many of the spending reductions are in fact simply additional tax increases. For example, $9 billion of the so-called spending reductions are in fact additional taxes. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that any actual spending reductions which are to be achieved will have to come from such programs as Aid to Families with Dependent Children, Medicaid, Medicare, and Supplemental Security Income. It is important to note that 80% of the savings to be achieved, pursuant to the reconciliation instructions, are contained in this package. Therefore, it is essential that these Members work to report a bill to their respective Houses which contains the proper mix of spending reductions and tax increases required to pass the legislation.

And if Congress produces a bill which includes the spending cuts and revenue increases called for in that resolution, I will support it and work hard for its passage. -- But I can assure you I will not raise taxes just to pay for more spending programs. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON August 3, 1982 MEETING WITH THE SENATE/HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADERS, WHIPS, CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE FINANCE AND THE RANKING REPUBLICAN OF THE HOUSE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEES DATE: Wednesday, August 4, 1982 LOCATION: The Oval Office TIME: 3:00 p.m. (30 minutes) FROM: Kenneth M. Duberstein Ken D. I. PURPOSE To indicate strong Presidential interest in the House/Senate tax bill conference negotiations and to ask for assistance to enact the reported legislation. II. BACKGROUND On August 3, a House/Senate Conference Committee began meeting to consider legislation necessary to achieve the tax increases and spending reductions falling within the jurisdiction of the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees. These savings were mandated by the reconciliation provisions of the Budget Resolution. Senator Robert Dole (R-Kansas) is Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee and Congressman Dan Rostenkowski (D-Illinois) is Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

In their view, the Senate bill is flawed because the mix of tax increases versus the level of spending reductions is out of proportion. They dislike the idea of raising the $98 billion in new taxes over three years contained in the Senate bill. Compounding these problems is a desire by many Republicans to see the mandated reconciliation savings achieved in other areas before they vote for a tax increase.

These Members also feel that many of the spending reductions are in fact simply additional tax increases. For example, $9 billion of the so-called spending reductions are in fact additional taxes.

Baker Michael Deaver Kenneth M. Duberstein M. B. Oglesby, Jr. Pamela J. Turner TALKING POINTS The Senate has passed a bill which improves the fairness of the tax system and preserves the incentives necessary for economic recovery. The bill also includes the spending reductions mandated by the Budget Resolution. It is a measure which I support, and one which I hope you will support. The bill will reduce projected budget deficits while maintain- ing the integrity of my economic recovery program. It preserves the individual tax rate reduction and indexing provisions enacted last year. Rather than raising taxes on working people, the bill focuses on the elimination of unintended abuses, the removal of obsolete incentives, and improvements in taxpayer compliance. More than three-fourths of the increased tax revenues come from increased taxpayer compliance and the closing of tax loopholes. When combined with the tax reductions enacted last year, the taxpayers of this country will still receive substantial net tax reductions. - 2 - O The bill preserves all of the individual marginal rate reductions and most of the basic ACRS changes enacted last year. In the aggregate, the Senate bill merely offsets the lost revenue due to the add-ons included in last year's bill. O Nobody like to raise taxes, but failure to adopt a conference report similar to the Senate passed bill will result in an additional $100 billion in deficits over the next three years. This could jeopardize the success we are now having with interest rates, and weaken the anticipated economic recovery. O We worked together to pass the First Budget Resolution which included spending cuts and revenue increases. We need to work together to pass a conference report which implements those cuts. At a time when the economy is starting to move-- when interest rates are starting to decline--the worst possible signal would be for us to walk away from passage of a conference report. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON MEETING WITH CONGRESSMAN JACK KEMP (R-NEW YORK) DATE: Wednesday, August 4, 1982 LOCATION: The Oval Office TIME: 3:30 P.M. (15 Minutes) FROM: Kenneth M. Duberstein Ker D. I. PURPOSE To discuss with Kemp his leadership role in working against adoption of the anticipated Senate-House Finance Committee/Ways and Means Committee recon- ciliation conference report, which is expected to be generally in compliance with the budget resolu- tion adopted in June. II. BACKGROUND Kemp has consistently opposed any efforts to increase revenues this year. He opposed the House Republican leadership and the Administration during the develop- ment of the Budget Resolution, objecting to both spending cuts and proposed revenue increases. Kemp has been vociferous in his opposition to the Senate passed reconciliation tax and spending reduc- tion package that is generally in compliance with the budget resolution in areas such as Medicare, Medicaid, AFDC, supplemental security income, unemployment security income and revenues. The House voted to send the tax bill to conference believing that a similar package could not be achieved in the House. Kemp voted against that motion. On July 27, Kemp and more than sixty Republicans sent you a letter saying that they cannot "support the Senate-passed tax increase" "while the Democrats renege on reconciliation spending cuts." Kemp has met with various interest groups to encourage and organize nationwide lobbying efforts against proposed tax increases. III.

Attachment: Talking Points SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS FOR MEETING WITH CONGRESSMAN JACK KEMP -- Raising taxes is a very unpleasant task, and one which I do not like doing. Reducing spending is also not an easy chore for you or me. -- But we have to do it -- we need to comply with the First Budget Resolution -- the bill produced by the Senate is a good bill. It preserves nearly all of the business tax incentives enacted last year. -- I know you believe we are taking back much of last year's tax cut. -- But, I think you have to distinguish between imposing new taxes and collecting taxes owed. More than three-fourths of the revenue raised comes from increased taxpayer compliance and the closing of tax loopholes. -- Rather than imposing new taxes on working people, this bill tries to insure that everyone pays a fair share of the tax burden. -- Jack, it is easy to duck the tough spending and revenue issues- but the country can't afford that. We need to pass the confer- ence report as soon as possible. We can't back away from our responsibilities at this crucial time.

PURPOSE To express concern regarding the present legislative outlook of the omnibus spending cut and revenue bill (H.R. 4961) now in conference, and to urge a maximum effort by members of the House and Senate Republican Leadership to achieve an acceptable conference agreement that can win passage in both Houses of Congress.
