REAGAN LIBRARY THIS FORM MARKS THE FILE LOCATION OF ITEM NUMBER / LISTED ON THE WITHDRAWAL SHEET AT THE FRONT OF THIS FOLDER. 2:00 (NSC/Elliott) October 3, 1983 7:00 p.m. PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: START DELEGATION SEND-OFF TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1983 Ladies and gentlemen, later today, Ambassador Ed Rowny and the other members of the START delegation will depart for Geneva for the opening of the fifth round of the Strategic Arms Reductions Talks. They will carry with them a new set of instructions. From the first day of these negotiations, our highest goal has been to achieve a stable balance at reduced levels of nuclear arsenals. We want to reduce the weapons of war, pure and simple. All our efforts have been and continue to be guided by that objective. In my address to the United Nations 2 weeks ago, I pledged that the United States will accept any equitable, verifiable agreement that stabilizes forces at lower levels than currently exist. We want significant reductions and that pledge stands. In the last round of negotiations, we proposed a number of new initiatives which were in harmony with the recommendations of the Presidential Commission on Strategic Forces, and which provided additional flexibility to our negotiators. Those initiatives supported our basic goals and they also responded to a number of Soviet concerns. I deeply regret that the Soviet Union has yet to give any significant response. Throughout the negotiating process, it is the United States who has had to push, pull, probe and prod in the effort to achieve any progress. The deepest desire shared by people Page 2 everywhere -- for an historic agreement dramatically reducing nuclear weapons -- could, and indeed, will be achieved, provided one condition changes: The Soviet Government must stop stonewalling and start negotiating in good faith. Let me emphasize: We have removed the dividing line between the two phases of our original proposal. Everything is on the table. We are still most concerned about limits on the fast-flying, most dangerous systems. But we are also prepared to negotiate limits on the more stabilizing slow-flying and second strike weapons. We have proposed bomber and air launched cruise missile limits below SALT II levels. We have shown great flexibility in dealing with the destructive capability of ballistic missiles, including their throwweight. We have also relaxed our limits on the number of ballistic missiles. We have gone a very, long way to address Soviet concerns. But the Soviets have yet to take their first meaningful step to address ours. Particularly in the INF talks, but also in START, they have been stonewalling our proposals. When we proposed confidence building measures that could be agreed to right now, they said, wait. Apparently they believe that time is on their side, that they can exploit one democracy against another, and that their uncompromising attitude and delay will ultimately win out. Well, they are making a big mistake. The diversity of our democracies is a source of true strength, not weakness. From free discussion among free people comes unity and commitment. The sooner this is Page 3 understood, the sooner we will reach an agreement in the interests of both sides. We will continue to press Moscow for an equitable, fair, and verifiable agreement. During the past few months, my Administration has made a detailed review of the negotiating positions presented thus far by both sides. We have consulted with many members of the Congress and again with the Commission headed by Brent Scowcroft. Their counsel has been invaluable. I want to thank them for their tireless efforts and helpful advice. When the START negotiations resume tomorrow, the United States delegation will again have substantial flexibility. Within the framework of the basic principles that have guided us throughout these negotiations, I am directing Ambassador Rowny to offer the following new initiative. We are incorporating into START a series of build-down proposals. The United States will introduce a proposal for a mutual, guaranteed build-down designed to encourage stabilizing systems. The proposal will include specific provisions for building down ballistic missile warheads, and concurrently, for addressing a parallel build-down on bombers. To discuss this major new initiative, we will also propose the establishment of a U.S.-Soviet "build-down" working group in the Geneva talks. On another front, and in our effort, again, to be absolutely as flexible as possible, we will be willing to explore ways to further limit the size and capability of air-launched cruise missile forces, in the context of reciprocal Soviet flexibility on items of concern to us. Page 4 We seek limits on the destructive capability of missiles and recognize that the Soviet Union would seek limits on bombers in exchange. There will have to be trade-offs and the United States is prepared to make- them, so long as they result in a more stable balance of forces. The Soviet Union should not doubt the bipartisan support for our efforts. During our review process, I looked for ways to broaden America's bipartisan approach to our overall arms control effort. A solid, national bipartisan consensus, sustained from year to year and from administration to administration, is crucial if we are to keep America safe, secure, and if we are to achieve successful arms reductions. Therefore, I have decided to take a number of new steps. Among these are to designate a member of the Scowcroft Commission, James Woolsey, as a member-at-large to our START negotiations. These actions reflect America's democratic process at its best. Ambassador Rowny, as you and your team depart for Geneva, you go with the certain knowledge that you are negotiating with the full support of the American people. Our bipartisan support is stronger than ever before. And you carry with you fair, equitable proposals, proposals that are in the interest of both nations and all humankind. It is fitting today to repeat what I said 2 weeks ago: The door to an agreement is open. All the world is waiting for the Soviet Union to walk through. Should the Soviet leadership decide to join us now in our good faith effort, the fifth round of these negotiations will be the one in which, finally, a Page 5 breakthrough was made, and finally the world began to breathe a bit easier. To the entire START Delegation, Godspeed and good luck. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 3, 1983 MEETING WITH ENERGY SECRETARY DONALD P.

Let me just express to all of you my sincere appreciation for the support the American Business Conference has given to us on so many of our economic initiatives. And thank you for the energy and muscle you put behind passage of those programs. -- I was especially glad to have your vote of confidence last September 30. It was in the middle of the recession and Arthur Levitt visited me on behalf of your members. He assured me that the media and the economists were wrong and that we would, indeed, have a strong economic recovery. -- I feel a special kinship with you because your group was formed in January 1981, a date I'll always remember. -- I know ABC shares our vision for America. The very diversity of your companies proves bold entrepreneurs can succeed in almost any industry. -- I share your concern about Federal deficits. We've got to reduce the deficit more. But we're convinced the way to do that is by making the Congress keep spending down, not letting them increase taxes. ---- I know many of you have supported us on other key issues: strategic modernization and arms control to cite two examples. Let me just say again how much I appreciate your efforts and your personal commitment and dedication to the preservation of our freedom and national security. THE WHITE house WASHINGTON October 3, 1983 MEETING WITH ENERGY SECRETARY DONALD P. HODEL (HOE-DELL') DATE: Tuesday, October 4 LOCATION: Oval Office TIME: 2:30 P.M. FROM: Jack Svahn AmhM I. PURPOSE Photo opportunity on the transmission of the fourth National Energy Policy Plan. II. BACKGROUND Congress has required the President to submit every two years a document outlining the National Energy Policy of the Unites States. This document was primarily prepared by the Department of Energy, and represents Energy Secretary Hodel's first participation in the preparation of this document. Earlier versions were submitted in 1977, '79, and 1981. III. PARTICIPANTS The President, Energy Secretary Hodel, Assistant to the President Jack Svahn, Special Assistant to the President Danny Boggs. IV. PRESS PLAN Photo opportunity only. V. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS Suggested: Hodel and others enter. Presents President with copy for signature of transmittal letter. President signs. They shake hands and chat briefly. Party departs. Hodel goes to White House Press Room for briefing. SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS -- This document details the improvements made in our energy situation over the past three years. - - It presents our national energy goal as having an adequate supply of energy at a reasonable price. ---- It provides two major policies to this end. I. Minimizing government interference in energy, except for necessary health, safety and environmental regulation. II. Promoting a mixed and balanced system of energy supply and use, including fossil fuels, conservation, nuclear power and renewable energy sources. KEY FACTS: - Energy situation much improved. - Real gasoline prices down about 15% since oil decontrol. Real price of imported oil down nearly 40%. - U.S. now imports only a little over 1/4 of oil consumption. OPEC dependence much reduced. - SPR has tripled since 1980. Now has 90 days supply of net imports, well over 1 year of Arab OPEC imports. - Oil production has held steady despite projections of continued fall. - In 1982, U.S. produced 90% as much energy as we consumed. KEY POLICIES: - Oil decontrol worked. - Market-based efficiency gains have continued strong. - Natural gas decontrol would help greatly. Potential gas production that isn't being used because of regulation is the equivalent of nearly half of our oil imports. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 3, 1983 CABINET COUNCIL ON COMMERCE AND TRADE DATE: October 4, 1983 LOCATION: Cabinet Room TIME: 3:30-4:15 FROM: Craig L. Fuller I. PURPOSE To determine what position the Administration should take with respect to pending telephone rate legislation. II. BACKGROUND The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in December, 1982, issued its Access Charge decision. This decision alters the traditional cost allocation and cost-recovery systems used by the telephone industry. The industry has traditionally used a rate-making system that resulted in substantial cross-subsidies, the largest of which flows from interstate toll service to intrastate, local service. In order to facilitate more cost-based pricing, the FCC's decision calls for costs of about $11 billion to be shifted to end-users. This ruling generally promotes fuller and fairer competition in the long-distance market. It also ensures that large toll users (mainly large corporations) will not "by-pass" local and other telephone facilities that are overpriced as a result of traditional cross-subsidy practices. A number of bills pending in Congress are aimed at rolling back elements of the FCC's ruling. The Administration must determine what position it will take on such bills or whether to propose its own bill. The Cabinet Council on Commerce and Trade deliberated this issue at 3:00 P.M. on October 3. It's recommendation and the alternatives that you might consider are contained in a briefing paper which is being revised. This paper will be distributed on the morning of October 4. III. PARTICIPANTS Members of the Cabinet Council IV. PRESS PLAN None V. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS Secretary Baldrige will introduce Assistant Secretary Markey who will present the briefing. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 3, 1983 TAPING SESSION DATE: October 4, 1983 LOCATION: Diplomatic Reception Room TIME: 4:15 p.m. FROM: Mark Goode mG I. PURPOSE To tape a message from the President II. BACKGROUND This tape will be part of a documentary film being made for the BBC Television in Britian. The film will be a 50-minute profile of, and tribute to, John Wayne. III. PARTICIPANTS The President IV. PRESS PLAN None V. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS Standard video taping set-up attachments: to be submitted by the speechwriters office. (Rohrabacher/BE) October 3, 1983 4:00 p.m. PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: BBC DOCUMENTARY FILM TRIBUTE TO JOHN WAYNE TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1983 To many people throughout the world, John Wayne was more than a man; he was the personification of an American ideal. He portrayed heroic individuals who were willing to take a stand, men with courage and conviction. He represented the type of person most Americans deeply admire, the kind of person whose character withstood the perils of the frontier and the savagery of war. We would like to think that he reflected the kind of individual to whom we owe our freedom. I was privileged to know John Wayne, both as a professional and a friend. By the time I met him he was already a superstar, yet he was never too busy to lend a helping hand and to get involved. He was active with me during some turbulent years in the Screen Actors Guild and I learned quickly that strength of conviction was part of his personality off camera as well as on. When I left the film business for a new career in politics, the Duke, as we all knew him, was very supportive. He remained a close friend to Nancy and me over the years. He was always willing to do his part to support those in the political world who he believed would strengthen America; and for a professional actor his involvement took a certain degree of courage. But, John Wayne's greatest contribution to America, and thus to the world, was providing a self-image to Americans that challenged us to live up to what we professed to be. The sweat and heroism of ordinary people, people little different from us Page 2 today, built a wilderness into a land of liberty and material abundance. John Wayne reassured Americans that they were a living part of that heritage and that just as our forefathers and mothers built a great country, we too are capable of meeting the challenges we face as a free people. This is the message of John Wayne. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 3, 1983 Taping Session DATE: October 4, 1983 LOCATION: Diplomatic Reception Room TIME: 4:15 p.m. FROM: Mark Goode MG I.

(Parvin edit/BE) October 3, 1983 3:30 p.m. PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: TUNE IN AWARDS DINNER TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1983 Good evening to all of you at the Tune-In Dinner in New York. I'd like to take a moment and share with you some thoughts on the great American tradition of voluntarism. Ever since America was founded, we've been a Nation of volunteers. The spirit that moved Betsy Ross to create the original Stars and Stripes has been woven into our national fabric. From the candy-striper working at the hospital to the Salvation Army captain, the spirit of helping others spans the spectrum of American life. Voluntarism ties us to the values and traditions that made a good and caring people. It is a reminder that this country was built by people working together. In 1981, when I called for a renewed volunteer effort in America, Jane Pickens Hoving answered that call by founding Tune-In New York. Her idea of using the telephone to put people in touch with those who needed them created a powerful force, which has placed volunteers in over 5,000 non-profit organizations in the New York area. Jane, that is quite an accomplishment, and I speak for so many when I say thank you. To Thornton Bradshaw, Leonard Goldenson, John Kluge and Tom Wyman, gentlemen, let me say your contributions to voluntarism speak well for both yourselves and your organizations. Voluntarism grows when it is communicated, and I commend your example of leadership. All of you there tonight are helping the volunteer cause as well by supporting this dinner. I personally THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 3, 1983 TAPING SESSION DATE: October 4, 1983 LOCATION: Diplomatic Reception Room TIME: 4:15 p.m. FROM: Mark Goode MG I.

(Elliott) October 3, 1983 3:30 p.m. PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: FALL MEETING OF AGRICULTURAL GROUPS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1983 It's a great pleasure to visit with you today as you begin your annual meeting. I'm just sorry I have to speak through this little red light, rather than see you all in person. You can be mighty proud of what you do. You're a key part of the profession that made America breadbasket for the world. By feeding himself and 77 other people, the American farmer has become a miracle of productivity. We know what a tough a year this has been for our farmers starting with the largest grain surpluses in history, then that devastating drought that ruined so many of their crops. I assure you we're doing everything we can to provide assistance. We're also mounting an aggressive export drive to re-establish America's credibility as a reliable supplier. I want to compliment you on the extension programs you've made such a success. They're practical, effective and a model of true partnership between Federal, state and local Governments. I understand your grassroots effort reaches every county in America, with over a million and a half volunteers participating. Just as important is the development of your volunteers into community leaders. Working with the young producers and business people, you help strengthen families, build better communities and create stronger growth in our economy. What greater contribution could people make to their country? Thank you again for your fine work, and best wishes for continuing success in all your Extension programs. God bless you all.

(Parvin/BE) October 3, 1983 3:30 p.m. PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: MESSAGE FOR THEODORE ROOSEVELT 125TH ANNIVERSARY DINNER TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1983 Good evening to all of you at the Theodore Roosevelt 125th Anniversary Dinner. The American Museum of Natural History is a fitting place for you to gather, we all know of President Roosevelt and his father's interest in this institution. Last year, the Theodore Roosevelt Association made it possible for Theodore Roosevelt's Nobel Peace Prize, which he was awarded for his role in mediating the end of the Russo-Japanese War, to be displayed in the Roosevelt Room of the White House. On behalf of the Nation, I was very proud to accept. I wish each of you could see what an inspiring effect the medal has on that room. A small spotlight illuminates the gold medal which seems to float above the fireplace at the end of the room. The medal is as exquisite as peace itself. I think President Roosevelt would be happy to know how much his award honors the White House, no matter who sits in the Oval Office. And I think that medal, displayed as prominently and beautifully as it is, will serve as a reminder and a goal to every president in our future. Theodore Roosevelt, in my mind at least, is unmatched in terms of his range of interest and talents. President Roosevelt was an explorer, awhistorian, an author, a reformer, an outdoorsman, a soldier, a peacemaker, a naturalist, a public servant. He was a New World Renaissance man. And he personified the spirit of America. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 3, 1983 Taping Session DATE: October 4, 1983 LOCATION: Diplomatic Reception Room TIME: 4:15 p.m. FROM: Mark Goode MG I.

(Robinson/BE) October 3, 1983 6:30 p.m. PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: AMERICAN MEAT INSTITUTE DINNER TUESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1983 Good morning. I'm delighted to join your chairman, John Copeland and your president, Manly Molpus, in welcoming all of you to the 78th annual meeting of the American Meat Institute. As the largest and oldest trade association for meat packers and processors, A.M.I. has a proud record of service to the meat industry and the Nation. We're honored to have your former president, Dick Lyng, serving as a key member of our team at the Department of Agriculture. And I want to thank you for so generously donating meat to the International Economic Summit last May in Williamsburg -- a fine example of the voluntarism we're trying to encourage. Many of the foreigners at the summit wondered just what makes the American people so healthy and robust. Well, with your products there, they found the answer at the dining room table. From our first days in office, A.M.I. has given our Administration invaluable advice and support. On new approaches to food safety and improved meat inspection procedures, we've worked side-by-side. Soon the Congress will send me the Product Tampering Act of 1983 -- legislation designed to shield producers from false claims of tampering and help make certain that goods reach the consumer intact. On this important legislation, A.M.I.'s backing has been crucial. Page 2 You've backed us just as firmly on our work to cut the tangle of needless Federal regulations. I'm happy to say that Vice President Bush's Task Force on Regulatory Relief was able to act on many of the recommendations you provided to streamline the regulation of your industry. And you'll be glad to hear that, without damaging the environment, safety in the workplace, or other legitimate regulatory goals, the Task Force has reduced the growth of new Federal regulations by almost one-third. In fact, if you laid end-to-end all the pages of regulations we've kept out of copies of the Federal Register printed since we took office, they'd reach all the way to the Moon. A.M.I. has also given us unstinting support on the free entry of American products into foreign markets. Your export committee has proven indispensable as our U.S. Trade Representative, Bill Brock, has labored to lower non-tariff trade barriers in Europe and Japan. Most important of all, A.M.I. has been right behind us as we've worked to improve our own economy. In those early days, we were beset by big spenders and naysayers on all sides. I remember that A.M.I. was one of the first groups to come forward to support our programs. I give you my heartfelt thanks. With your help, we've made a new beginning, cutting the growth of Federal spending, pruning needless regulations as I said, lowering personal tax rates, and dramatically reducing the record inflation and interest rates we inherited. Page 3 As you participate in the events of your annual meeting, I want you to know that we'll be at work in Washington to keep this recovery on track, which will help increase the demand for meat and meat products. I'm certain that with your continued support our shared successes will mount, and America can enjoy a new era of hope, opportunity and progress for all our people. Thank you and God bless you all.
