I. PURPOSE
To consult with key House and Senate Republican leaders
prior to formal submission of the Administration's Budget
proposal for Fiscal Year 1985.
II. BACKGROUND
Under the present schedule, the Administration's Fiscal Year
1985 Budget plan will be formally transmitted to the
Congress on Wednesday, February 1, 1984. In line with
the practice observed in prior years, this meeting is
intended to 1) provide the elected House and Senate Republi-
can Leadership and Republican jurisdictional leaders on the
Rules, Finance/Ways and Means, Appropriations and Budget
Committees with an advance briefing on the Budget, and 2)
provide these Congressional leaders with the opportunity to
discuss the immediate Budget outlook and related issues with
the President.
In addition to a discussion of the various components of the
Administration spending plan, it is anticipated that Con-
gressional meeting participants will be particularly inter-
ested in the following: 1) the outlook and strategy for
the deficit-reduction "down payment" effort; 2) the appro-
priate response to House Democratic leaders who have
indicated a possible willingness to provide line-item veto
authority on an "experimental" basis during 1984; 3) the
appropriate manner of dealing with the Administration's
balanced budget initiative in the Congress; and 4) the
relative priority of these efforts. It is expected that
meeting participants will want to discuss what budget items
are negotiable, especially our flexibility on the defense
and tax issues.

TALKING POINTS
FOR
GOP CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP MEETING
January 31, 1984
I'm pleased that you were all able to join us here this
morning for advance discussions on the budget.
Our Party has always been united behind the call for
fiscal discipline at the Federal level. As we go into
this election year, it's important for us to remain
united behind the policies that have worked so
well for our party -- and the Nation -- in the past.
First and foremost, that means ensuring that adequate
resources are provided for our Nation's defense. While
the budget I will send you tomorrow reflects some
economies we've been able to find in that area, it doesn't
scrimp on essential readiness-related programs, or curtail
needed systems development.
Second, the Budget I am transmitting tomorrow stands fast
on the principle that our budget problems can be solved
without new taxes. It's only fair to ask that government
be asked to tighten its own belt before we ask the
taxpayers to take their own belts in another notch.
To do this, we need to keep domestic spending under sharp
control -- and much remains to be done in this area.
Over the last three years, we've made tremendous progress
in this direction. Together, we've eliminated the
explosion in domestic spending of the 1970's, and levelled
off the excessive growth in entitlement spending.
The budget I'll be sending you tomorrow outlines the next
steps in this direction -- steps that I believe can and
should be enacted this year. If adopted, they would
freeze the real growth of domestic spending for the
remainder of this decade.
Even if this objective is reached this year, we'll have
our work cut out for us -- for it will take more than a
decade-long spending freeze to eliminate deficit spending.
As I said in my State of the Union address, I'm willing,
if you are, to discuss a "down payment" on these needed
steps this year.

TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED

--
Do you feel the American people support your policies
there?
-
How long will the Marines stay?
BUDGET
--- If you had line item veto authority, what areas would you
want to cut?
SOVIETS
-------------------------
If you want to leave a legacy as a problem-solving
President, how do you reconcile that with the chill in
relations with the Soviets?
POLAND
---
When do you anticipate lifting more sanctions?
POLITICS
-
What are your goals for a second term?
--
You carried Illinois in the 1980 election. How do you
anticipate running here in 1984?
POLISH SANCTIONS
BACKGROUND
In December, I stated "we will give immediate and
serious consideration to the issues raised by Lech Walesa."
We have also has taken note of some positive developments in
Poland such as the release of the vast majority of political
prisoners and the successful visit by His Holiness Pole John
Paul II. It is the my hope that the Administration's action
will help contribute to the process of reconciliation and the
improvement of human rights in Poland.
Very serious human rights problems remain, such as those
still imprisoned and their treatment, and the pending trials
of the 11 KOR and Solidarity activists. We will continue to
do what we can to encourage a policy of reconciliation in
Poland.
SANCTIONS
Sanctions remaining in place are:
-- A freeze on new credits.
-- The suspension of Poland's MFN status.
-- Opposition to Poland's membership in the INF.
--- Suspension of landing rights for regularly
scheduled flights for the Polish airline, LOT.
-- Suspension of travel between the two countries
under the Maria-Sklodowska-Curie joint travel fund
which finances joint scientific research projects.
---- Suspension of the Export-Import Bank's line of
credit insurance for Poland.
-- Curtailment of the shipment of non-humanitarian
agricultural commodities for distribution by the
Polish Government.
Last November I announced that the Polish Government
could enter into discussions with private fishing companies
about potential fishing arrangements, but the sanction itself
was left in place. The sanction has now been formally lifted.
MATERIALS ON LEBANON/SOVIETS
PREVIOUSLY USED IN PREPARATION
FOR THE TIME/NEWSWEEK INTERVIEWS
Foreign Policy Priorities For The Future?
- Establish a more stable basis for peaceful
relations with the Soviet Union;
- Strengthen allied relationships across the board;
- Achieve real and equitable reductions in the
levels of nuclear arms;
- Reinforce our peacemaking efforts in the Middle
East, Central America, and Southern Africa;
- Assist developing countries, particularly our
neighbors in the Western Hemisphere; and
- Assist in the development of democratic
institutions throughout the world.
Foreign Policy -- A Campaign Handicap?
- Proud to run on foreign policy record of accomplishments,
and goals for the future.
- But politics should stop at the waters' edge.
- America is stronger, safer now.
- Alliance partnerships are working, Atlantic and Pacific.
- Seeking to maintain our security, preserve peace,
solve problems, reduce tensions and improve the
lot of people everywhere.
- Bipartisan approaches have worked: Scowcroft and
Kissinger Commissions, the Lebanon Joint Resolution.
- Progress in East-West relations, Middle East,
Central America and elsewhere more likely if we
continue on the path of bipartisanship.
- World won't stand still until 1985 waiting for our
election. Will continue to do what is right,
regardless of politics.
Isn't Lebanon your Achilles heel?
-- Stability in Lebanon is key to avoiding war between
Israel and Syria.
-- Stability in Lebanon is threatened by the spectre
of Syrian intervention and the menace of state-sponsored
terrorism.
-- If terrorists prevail in Lebanon, they will be
emboldened to challenge objectives of free peoples around
the world.
-- We cannot simply walk away from the commitment we
have undertaken to help resolve Lebanon's tragedy.
-- We do not intend that our forces should remain in
Lebanon indefinitely. On the contrary we will leave just
as soon as we are assured of progress on the diplomatic front.
-- Our steadfastness is critical to the peace and
stability of the entire Middle East, a region vital to U.S.
and Allied security.
-- Our presence provides confidence to the Government
of President Gemayel enabling him to deal fairly with the
legitimate demands of the opposing factions.
-- If we leave precipitously we will be seen as an
unreliable partner in the quest for peace and security in
the Middle East.
-- Withdrawal under pressure would lead others in the
Middle East and in the world who rely on U.S. leadership and
support to question the value of that support.
What makes you think the Soviets will be more cooperative --
you have no new proposals, only a military buildup which they
may decide to match in an arms race.
-- Our strategic programs are designed to restore the
balance, not achieve superiority.
-- We have made new proposals:
- a new one in INF, just before they walked out;
- a suggestion in the last round of START
that they discuss tradeoffs between areas
where they have the advantage (land based
ICBMs) and those where we are ahead
(bombers and cruise missiles)
- they've agreed to resume MBFR talks, as
we requested.
- we've made progress in hotline talks, and
next round of these technical discussions
is set for Moscow in the near future.
-- Soviets must decide on their response. We should
not expect instant cooperation. Their system turns slowly --
like a large ship changing course.
