DATE:
April 27, 1983
TIME:
11:30 a.m.
FROM:
DAVID GERGEN DS
Assistant to the President
for Communications
I. PURPOSE
To thank individual citizens, designated by the New York Daily
News as Crimefighters, for their contributions in stopping
crimes. Also, to commend the New York Daily News and the City
of New York for this public-private effort.
II. BACKGROUND
In February, 1982 the New York Daily News, in partnership with
the New York City police, initiated the Daily News Crimefighter
Campaign. The Campaign includes:
o A weekly $1,000 Daily News Crimefighter Award to the person
or persons whose actions made New York a safer place to live
and work;
o
A $25 award every day for three months to the person sub-
mitting the best crimefighting suggestion of the day.
Readers submitted 32,700 letters; and
o Daily features detailing crime problems and encouraging
citizen participation in fighting back.
So far, more than $60,000 in prize money has been given out to
citizens by the newspaper.
The event will take place at New York's Mid-town South
Precinct, sometimes known as the "busiest precinct in the
world" because of its high crime volume. The precinct
stretches from Lexington to 9th Avenue and from 28th to 48th
Street. It includes the garment and theater districts, Penn
Station and the Port Authority. Most of the precinct's crimes
are either muggings or burglary's.
III. PARTICIPANTS
Mayor Koch, Police Commissioner McGuire, New York Daily News
Executive Editor Jim Wieghart and some 40 award winning
Crimefighters.
Among the Crimefighters expected to attend are:
-- Albert Torres, 18, and his brother Alvin, 23, who chased a
knife wielding purse snatcher;
-- Rabbi Risroel Rosenfeld, 40, who in capturing a mugger armed
with a machete, rescued an 84 year-old woman; and
-- Airman Jerry Scarfoglierro, 17, who caught three suspected
car thieves and muggers after they tried to run him down
with a car and assaulted a 69 year-old man.
Catherine Keneally, a 58 year-old grandmother who chased and
caught a pickpocket while on her way to a Broadway matinee may
also be in attendance.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
ED ROLLINS
SUBJECT: NEW YORK POLITICAL SUMMARY
1984 Presidential Campaign
New York will send 136 delegates and alternates to the 1984
Republican National Convention.
New York has 36 electoral votes.
President Reagan carried New York state in 1980 with 46.7% of
the popular vote.
The New York primary will be held on March 27, 1984.
Democrat Governor Mario Cuomo has persuaded all leading
Democrats not to endorse any presidential candidates for the time
being.
1982 U.S. Senate Election
Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan won re-election to a second
term over Republican state Assemblywoman Florence Sullivan by
a 65% to 35% margin.
1982 Gubernatorial Election
Lt. Governor Mario Cuomo won a narrow victory over
Republican businessman Lew Lehrman by a 51% to 48% margin.
(Lehrman carried 55 of the 62 counties)
Lehrman has formed a political action committee and is
supporting Republican candidates throughout the state.
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Page 2
1982 Congressional Elections
New York Congressional delegation:
13 Republicans
21 Democrats
New York lost 5 seats in reapportionment. The combination of
reapportionment and election losses cost the Republicans 3
seats and the Democrats 2 seats.
Freshman Republican Congressman John LeBoutillier from Long
Island was the one unexpected loss for the Republicans.
Democrat Gary Ackerman in March won a special Congressional
election in the 7th district in Queens to fill the vacancy
arising from the death of Benjamin Rosenthal.
State Legislature
The Democrats gained one seat in the state Senate and eleven
seats in the state Assembly. The current party lineup is as
follows:
State Senate:
37R-24D
State Assembly: 52R-98D
State Republican Party
George L. Clark has focused party efforts toward
"nuts-and-bolts" party building and debt retirement to ensure
the President's re-election.
State Chairman George L. Clark is supporting legislation to
change the so-called "blind primary" by identifying on the
ballot which Presidential candidate each Republican
Presidential delegate will represent.

Born in Brooklyn on August 1, 1937, Senator D'Amato was raised

Business Administration and then worked his way through Syracuse
Law School. He was admitted to the New York Bar in 1962.
D'Amato entered public life in 1965 as Public Administrator of
Nassau County in Long Island. From that position, he moved up to
Town Supervisor of West Hempstead Township and was elected Senior
Town Supervisor on 1979. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in
November 1980.
In the Senate, D'Amato serves on the Appropriations Committee,

four children. He is a Roman Catholic. He enjoys playing the

Business Committees. He is a member of the Public Works Sub-
committee on Investigations and Oversight and was actively involved
in support of Congressman Elliott Levitas (D-GA) in his effort to

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
RICHARD S. WILLIAMSON
Rich
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR YOUR NEW YORK TRIP
This memorandum provides background information on Mayor Koch
and Governor Cuomo.
MAYOR KOCH
As you of course know, Edward I. Koch is the Democratic Mayor
of New York City. He was reelected by a wide margin in 1981
and was defeated by Mario Cuomo in the September, 1982 Democratic
primary for Governor.
You have met Mayor Koch many times during your Administration
- on trips to New York City or in meetings at the White House.
The Mayor's posture with respect to Administration policies has
been inconsistent at best. In the past, he has referred to
our domestic policy as a "sham and a shame." He has described
our economic and social programs with such words as "folly,"
"outrage," and "ridiculous," and said the 1983 budget was a
"war on the cities."
At the same time, he has said that in meetings at the White
House he has found you to be "extremely well-informed," and
that, while he opposes many of your policies, he likes you
personally.
In short, Mayor Koch will support you and your policies when
it is politically convenient for him to do so; he will not
be [and has not been] with you in the trenches when the
going gets rough.
The issues which Mayor Koch has contacted the White House
about recently are: the independent truckers' strike;
the mass transit strike; legislation to reimburse New York
City for diplomatic protection expenses; and his support
for a national program to require young men and women to
give one year's public service to their country. He has
also invited you to participate in the Centennial Celebration
of the Brooklyn Bridge on May 24, 1983.

GOVERNOR CUOMO
Governor Cuomo narrowly defeated Republican candidate Lewis
Lehrman in the November, 1982 gubernatorial race. Prior to
his election, Cuomo served as New York Secretary of State
from 1975-1979. In 1977, he was defeated for Mayor of New
York running as the Liberal party candidate. He became
Lt. Governor of New York in 1978.
Upon inauguration, Cuomo faced a $1.8 billion deficit. He
proposed over $800 million in revenue increases and nearly
$800 in program cuts and used $140 million from appropriated
trust funds to close the budget gap.
Since his election, White House Intergovernmental Affairs has
worked with the Governor on two issues:
1. The federal response to the closure of the Bethlehem
Steel plant in Lackawanna, New York. This closure
caused the unemployment rate in Lackawanna to rise
dramatically;
2. The commuter railroad transit strike in New York
City which was recently settled by an agreement
to enter binding arbitration.
Governor Cuomo has been a critic of the cost of the
Administration's defense build-up and of the cuts in social
programs. At the NGA Winter Meeting March 1, 1983, Governor
Cuomo was quoted as saying that, "The governors think the
President is wrong. Too much money is going into defense.
The deficit is too large. We're saying let's be nice about
it, but you are wrong.'
