Hayes 09/15/97 11:09:37 AM Record Type: Record To: See the distribution list at the bottom of this message cc: Richard L. Hayes/WHO/EOP Subject: You are invited to attend a meeting to assess where we are with respect to implementing the empowerment contracting executive order and rule. This meeting will be held Tuesday, September 16, 1997, in Room 476 OEOB, at 9:30 a.m. In addition to White House staff, Commerce and SBA have been invited. If I have left anyone off, please let me know. We need to make a recommendation to the Chief of Staff's office about how to proceed. Several offices have raised strong concerns about the possibility that Federal agencies might have to enforce both empowerment contracting (as called for in the executive order) and HUB zones (which are likely to be passed as part of the SBA reauthorization bill this year.) While the goals of these two programs are somewhat congruent, they are like night and day from the standpoint of administration). Even though the empowerment contracting rule is ready to be published (it is currently scheduled to be published around October 1 along with the new affirmative action procurement rules), we need to decide if we should go ahead with it in its current form if the Hubzone bill does in fact pass. We have opposed the later in the Senate, but the Senate still passed the bill under UC. Even if we choose to proceed with both programs, there is the possibility that the Congress will disapprove our reprogramming request (which is currently on the Hill) to allow Commerce to set up an office to carry out the empowerment contracting rule we are currently checking on this. One scenario we will explore in Tuesday's meeting is to see if it is possible to modify our current rule in some way so as to supplement the aims of the Hubzones. In this way, both the Administration and Senator Bond can claim victory. Message Sent To: Jonathan Weiss/OVP @ OVP Steven L. Schooner/OMB/EOP Linda G. Williams/OMB/EOP Dorothy Robyn/OPD/EOP Lucia A.

PURPOSE To discuss Senator Feinstein's concerns with how the Administration is enforcing the assault weapons ban and other firearms issues. II. BACKGROUND Senator Feinstein wants to discuss 3 firearms issues with you that were recently featured in an LA Times series criticizing the California and federal laws banning assault weapons. These include: (1) the importation of large capacity ammunition feeding devices; (2) "copycat" or "sporterized" assault weapons; and (3) enforcing federal firearms laws at gun shows. An attached memorandum summarizes these issues and provides some suggested talking points for your meeting. Senator Feinstein believes that the Administration has the authority to address these issues. We are not so optimistic and believe additional legislation is necessary. Regardless, we are pleased to work with her and the Treasury Department to make sure that -- short of legislation -- we are doing everything we can to enforce the assault weapons ban and other firearms laws. For your information, we have also attached a copy of the LA Times article that outlines her concerns. III. PARTICIPANTS Briefing Participants: Rahm Emanuel Bruce Reed John Hilley Attachment 1. Automated Records Management System Hex-Dump Conversion Event Participants: Senator Feinstein IV. PRESS PLAN Closed Press. V. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS - You meet with Senator Feinstein in the Oval Office. - The Senator departs. VI. REMARKS Suggested talking points are attached. VII. ATTACHMENTS - Fact sheet on Senator Feinstein's issues - Suggested talking points - LA Times article, "Outgunned" Automated Records Management System Hex-Dump Conversion FACT SHEET LARGE CAPACITY AMMUNITION FEEDING DEVICES The assault weapons ban generally prohibited the possession of ammunition clips with a capacity of more than 10 rounds, but specifically grandfathered clips manufactured on or before September 13, 1994. Initially, The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), with guidance from the Domestic Policy Council (DPC), interpreted this prohibition to include the continued importation of all large capacity clips -- no matter when they were manufactured. This interpretation was based on the fact that clips not in the country before the effective date could not have been lawfully possessed at that time and, thus, were banned from importation. Several importers, however, brought suit challenging this narrow interpretation of the law, and the Department of Justice advised that the ATF/DPC position was not likely to hold up in court and should be reversed. As a result, in July of 1996, ATF reinterpreted the clip provision acknowledging that pre-ban clips could be imported, but requiring importers to present reasonable evidence that clips to be imported were manufactured on or before the ban's enactment. Thus, as of March 1, 1997, approximately 160,000 large capacity clips had entered the country under 21 approved permits; another 20 permits had been denied for lack of evidence; and a total of 83 approved permits seeking to import more than 2 million large clips remained outstanding. (NB: There are no definitive numbers about how many domestically produced clips have been grandfathered, but it is estimated that there are many millions of existing -- and reusable -- clips that will last a lifetime.) Senator Feinstein opposed the language in the assault weapons ban grandfathering large clips and supports repealing it. This language, however, was inserted during the crime bill conference by Representative John Dingell, and Administration officials and Members of Congress involved in the negotiations have been reluctant to seek its repeal. The Senator has also suggested that the Administration can, by executive order, further restrict the number of large clips imported or increase the number of ATF agents investigating the production of clips overseas. We are not optimistic about either of these options. First, as previously mentioned, the Department of Justice has already overturned the ATF/ DPC initial policy to ban the importation of all large clips. And second, ATF agents have no oversees jurisdiction to conduct investigations and can only do so by convention or through mutual assistance treaties with other countries. "COPYCAT" OR "SPORTERIZED" ASSAULT WEAPONS The assault weapons ban prohibits 19 specific firearms, duplicates of those 19 and other semiautomatic weapons that meet various criteria (i.e., those that accept a detachable magazine and possess characteristics such as folding stocks, bayonet lugs and flash suppressors). Since passage of the assault weapons ban, some gun manufacturers have adapted or "sporterized" their assault Automated Records Management System Hex-Dump Conversion weapons to meet the law's criteria. As a result, there are guns on the market today with either similar names or certain similar features as assault weapons, but that otherwise comply with the terms of the ban. In fact, despite their appearance, some of these firearms -- such as the Israeli Military Industries Galil -- have been re-engineered and are considerably more difficult to convert to fully automatic than their previous versions. Nonetheless, a lucrative market still exists for "assault-type" weapons, and some manufactures -- either through brand names or appearances -- continue to target this segment of the market. Senator Feinstein believes that we can do more to crack down on these new "copycat" versions of assault weapons. We do not think this is possible without additional authority from Congress. This was a limitation of the assault weapons ban that the Administration and Congress accepted when they decided to endorse the Feinstein/DeConcini approach over Representative Schumer's. The Schumer ban granted the Treasury Department the authority to add or delete firearms from the prohibited list. ENFORCING FEDERAL FIREARMS LAWS AT GUN SHOWS Gun shows and flea markets are the last bastion of unregulated and undocumented firearms transfers. Most participants are private gun owners who do not sell firearms for a living and are generally there to buy and sell from each others' private collections. As such, these secondary sales are generally exempt from most state and federal firearms laws, including the 1968 Gun Control Act that gives the Treasury Department the authority to license and regulate federal firearms dealers. However, anecdotal evidence repeatedly has shown that violations of state and federal firearms laws often do take place at these shows. Senator Feinstein believes that ATF should amend its internal policies and police these shows more aggressively. As of March 16, 1994, ATF's policy on gun shows provides that agents must get authorization from their local Special Agent in Charge (SAC) and have an intended subject or target before they can attend a gun show. Prior to this date -- and in response to congressional hearings on ATF's policies -- ATF had an even more restrictive policy that required approval from the Washington headquarters before an agent could attend a gun show. This is no longer the case, and ATF agents do attend gun shows in the course of investigations and to follow-up on tips from legitimate gun dealers. Additionally, ATF inspectors do attend and sponsor booths at all of the major gun shows -- those attended by manufacturers and gun dealers, not just private collectors -- and disseminate information on federal gun laws. Automated Records Management System Hex-Dump Conversion SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS Senator, I share your concerns with respect to the assault weapons ban and am willing to use the full authority of the executive branch to make sure that we do our best to enforce the ban's provisions. In fact, on 3 separate occasions I have taken executive action to crack down on assault weapons and gun dealers. In August of 1993, I banned the importation of assault pistols and toughened requirements for federal gun dealers. And in May of 1994, for foreign policy reasons, I banned the importation of firearms from China -- including millions of assault-type weapons and large capacity clips. Equally important, we have tried to interpret the provisions of the ban on large capacity clips as strictly as possible, but litigation forced us to change our position. So, unfortunately, I think we will need to pass new legislation that expands Treasury's authority if we want to include more guns and more clips -- and you know that will not be easy. But I am pleased to ask Rahm Emanuel, Bruce Reed and our attorneys to take one more look at the law and your suggestions, and to see if there is anything more we can do short of legislation. With respect to gun shows, I think you have hit on an important issue. We have had much success through the Brady Bill, assault weapons ban and reforms to the federal firearms licensing system, and gun shows should not be allowed to undermine these efforts. Still, it seems that we have little authority in this area, and that Congress has a history of restricting ATF's ability to aggressively enforce our gun laws. But I agree with you that there must be more we can do. Again, I would like to ask Rahm and Bruce to do some research on this and see what administrative options are available to us -- to see what more we might be able to do in terms of federal enforcement at these shows.

Dorskind/WHO/EOP, Kent Markus/DOJ/GOV @ DOJ cc: Leanne A. Shimabukuro/OPD/EOP, Emily Bromberg/WHO/EOP Subject: sex offender letter Esteemed Colleagues: Attached please find what I take to be the final version of the sex offender/technology letter to the govs. I don't think it differs much from what was sent around last week -- minor justice edits only -- but some of the circumstances surrounding the letter/directive have changed significantly. 1. The House Judiciary Committee marked up and passed important amendments to the Jacob Weterling Act that will help States and the Administration in implementing the sex offender registry. These amendments, which go beyond the scope of our intended directive, are likely to be tacked on to an appropriations bill, and Justice does not want to jeopardize their passage by issuing an overlapping/competing directive now that the legislation has moved forward. 2. The letter to the govs focuses not only on the registry, but on other important technology pieces. While Rahm was most concerned with the sex offender language, we've also included other language that's important to a long-term Brady fix, child care background checks and other information sharing. As a result of the positive response we've gotten from the AG's letter to the govs and because of the increasing importance of these other related issues -- Justice wanted to make sure they we're also part of the letter. Thus, unless anyone has any concerns, I suggest we work to clear and send the President's letter this week, and that we hold on the directive until we see what happens with the Wetterling amendments bill. Ultimately, we may lose the opportunity to do the directive, but the legislation moving forward on the Hill will help us even more.

ATTACHMENT I ATT CREATION TIME/DATE: 0 00:00:00.00 TEXT: Unable to convert ARMS_EXT:[ATTACH.D37JMAIL49577695C.2161 to ASCII, The following is a HEX DUMP: END ATTACHMENT 1 DRAFT Dear Governor : The continuing explosion of new technologies gives us a groundbreaking opportunity to work together to link our federal and state law enforcement efforts in ways we never thought possible even a few years ago. For example, we are now able to track the whereabouts of convicted sex offenders to prevent them from committing new crimes. If we continue to coordinate our efforts, I am convinced that American public safety will benefit significantly. From the historic 1994 Crime Act through the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact that I will soon submit to Congress, my Administration has strived to pass legislation to harness computers and other technology for the public good. Many of our states' governors have played crucial roles in fighting to pass this legislation, and I thank you again for that assistance. Although these laws are an important foundation for federal and state cooperation, the new technologies can do only what we commit them to do, and we still need to do much more -- including exchanging criminal records between states for employment checks on workers in occupations that deal with children, and using incident-based crime reports to help police solve specific types of repeated crime, such as church arson or serial murder. Federal and state governments must forge a close partnership to realize the full potential of these new technologies. I am prepared to take actions to intensify our federal efforts in the coming months, but I will need your help in order to ensure our success in several initiatives. In June of 1996, I directed the Attorney General to develop a national sexual predator and child molester registration system to link the sex offender registration and notification systems being developed in all 50 states. The Interim national sex-offender registry became operational earlier this year, and the Attorney General recently wrote to enlist your assistance. I am encouraged that eleven states have already loaded their information on sex offenders onto the system, with many of you pledging to do so within the next few months. I am grateful for any help you can provide in making this national sex offender registration system a reality. I am today submitting to the Congress the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact to facilitate the exchange of criminal records using an FBI index of state-maintained criminal information that states can access nationwide. The Compact would standardize policies for sharing of criminal records for purposes such as pre-employment background checks for child care workers and school bus drivers. It would improve access to criminal records and save the states and the federal government money by avoiding duplication of effort. I hope I can count on your support of the Compact as it moves through your State legislature. Attachment 1. Automated Records Management System Hex-Dump Conversion Many Federal laws --including the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, the Violence Against Women Act, and the Child Protection Act --contain provisions to help states automate and improve their criminal records, especially to block handgun sales to prohibited gun purchasers and allow for easy identification of criminal offenders subject to "three strikes" laws. The Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) stands ready to help states reach this goal through the National Criminal History Improvement Program. BJS has already awarded more than $150 million to states, with a total of $226 million authorized. I urge your State to take full advantage of this program. As you know, the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program gives us data that help us measure our progress in reducing crime. The next generation of UCR, the National Incident-Based Reporting System, will usher in a new era of crime data -- so that we can tell for example, that a crime was a hate crime, an incident of domestic abuse, or a crime directed at a child. Such information will help law enforcement agencies identify local and national trends, and lead to quicker arrests of violent offenders. The Justice Department is working with states, counties, and cities to expand the NIBRS. I hope that you will lend your support to this effort. With your State's active participation, we can make significant progress in all of these initiatives. Your personal involvement is key in making this happen. I look forward to working with you to achieve our mutual goal -- using new technologies to make America safer for all our citizens.

Traffickers with criminal records now must face Brady checks in trying to acquire guns from federally licensed firearms dealers. The report is encouraging preliminary information that pre-sale background checks not only block illegal handgun purchases, but also may have an impact on illegal firearms trafficking. Attachment 1: Automated Records Management System Hex-Dump Conversion Center to Prevention Handgun Violence Study Traffic Stop: How the Brady Act Disrupts Interstate Gun Trafficking SUMMARY The report asserts that the percentage of crime guns that ATF traced to federally licensed gun dealers in Brady states (states that initiated pre-sale background checks because of the Brady law) decreased after passage of the Brady law. The report finds that in seven states that account for a high percentage of crime guns that ATF traced to federally licensed firearms dealers in Ohio, the percentage of Ohio-origin traces drops after Brady checks began in Ohio. The report finds that in those same seven states, the percentage of crime guns that ATF traced to federally licensed firearms dealers in three other Brady states -- Kentucky, Mississippi, and Georgia -- also dropped after the Brady law took effect in those states. The report concludes that the Brady law reduces interstate illegal gun trafficking, reenforcing the need for Ohio Brady checks. It suggests that the Brady law be buttressed by new laws to reduce the illegal interstate supply of guns to criminals, such as extending handgun purchase laws to private, secondary market sales, and limiting handgun purchases to one per month. ANALYSIS Two aspects of the study's methodology might be targeted by Brady law opponents: (1) Statistical validity. States are not tracing all recovered crime guns, and the traces analyzed are not a random sample, therefore the sample may not be statistically valid. Anticipating such criticism the Center responds that the sample is not intentionally biased (p.13). While law enforcement agencies could not deliberately bias the sample, inadvertent biases could nevertheless be present. (The study cites the ATF Youth Crime Gun Interdiction Trace Analysis Reports, without noting that ATF's analyses are based on comprehensive tracing from those jurisdictions (p.13)). Other factors not taken into account include the massive reductions in the number of firearms dealers since 1994, fluctuations in percentages of crime guns traced by ATF, and the short time span covered. Notwithstanding these concerns, the decreases shown in crime guns traced to the four Brady states are so substantial that the study is at least encouraging preliminary information. (2) In-state guns. The study looks at percentage changes in crime guns recovered in seven states that originate with dealers in four Brady states, but does not look at percentage changes -- up or down -- of crime guns recovered in those seven states that are from in-state sources. Without looking at whether substitution occurs, the impact of Brady background checks on the overall availability of illegally trafficked firearms is unknown. This is important since the Youth Crime Gun Interdiction Initiative Trace Analyses Reports show that in almost all the cities either a majority or plurality of the crime guns traced were first sold at retail in-state. Economics suggest, though, that if before Brady traffickers were buying crime guns out-of-state because it was lower risk to do so, and after Brady the percentage of out of state sources decreases, then the cost of illegally supplied handguns, from whatever source, should rise. Absent price data this too remains speculative.

The study also gives us more good news about the Brady Law-- that it has worked to help disrupt illegal gun trafficking patterns, making it more difficult for gun traffickers to do business. While states are no longer required to conduct Brady background checks in light of the Supreme Court's recent decision, I am pleased that state and local law enforcement agencies around the country are overwhelmingly continuing to do these checks on a voluntary basis. Our goal remains unchanged: no background check, no handgun purchase. I have pledged to do everything in my power to make sure that we continue to keep handguns out of the hands of criminals-- including extending Brady background checks to violent juveniles who should not be able to buy a gun on their 2 st birthday. Today's study further makes the case that for the safety of our communities and of all Americans, Brady background checks must continue. Attachment 1.

Meissner thinks the stories on this may run over the weekend, so we should have our statement and Q&A ready by COB today. Two things came up: 1) Statement. They both thought that the WH statement should serve as the statement for the whole Administration-- no other agencies should release separate statements for now. I think this is a good idea; we shouldn't have other agencies putting out statements that might conflict or undercut our statement. 2) Q&A. They think it would be good to designate one press office to handle press questions. Meissner would like for it to be INS' press shop. As long as they use the same Q&A which we will circulate today, I think this could work. If we have main Justice handle, it could send a signal that we are already marginalizing INS. Rob wanted to double check both of these with us. Let me know if you have other ideas. Thanks.

Murr/OMB/EOP Subject: S. 1198 is scheduled for House floor consideration under the suspension of the rules on Monday, September 29th. Justice and State advise that the House will amend the bill as indicated in the draft SAP. As soon as LRD receives the House amendment to S. 1198 we will officially circulate the language and the draft SAP. In the meantime - attached is the draft SAP for your review. If there are any changes that you would recommend please let me know ASAP so that 1 can incorporate them before I officially cir culate the SAP. Thanks DRAFT -- NOT FOR RELEASE September 26, 1997 (House) S. 1198 Religious Workers Act of 1997 (Abraham (R) Michigan and 7 cosponsors) The Administration supports House passage of S. 1198 as proposed to be amended by the House. The House amendment would: (1) extend the Visa Waiver Pilot Program (VWPP); (2) extend authority for the admission of non-ordained religious workers; and (3) modify the effective date for certain paperwork changes in the employer sanctions program. Section extends the VWPP in its current form through September 30, 1999. The Administration strongly supports a multi-year extension of the VWPP in its current form. The program has benefited the Nation's economy by facilitating travel to the United States of millions of citizens from the 25 qualifying countries. Section extends, through September 30, 2000, the authority to admit certain non-ordained religious workers as special immigrants. Although the Administration strongly prefers a permanent extension of this program as passed by the Senate, the Administration supports the three-year extension provided in the House amendment to S. 1198. Section extends by six months the effective date for paperwork changes in the employer sanctions program. This provision will affect every business in the United States that hires workers. The Administration transmitted legislation to Congress earlier this year to extend this effective date for 12 months in order to allow for a more deliberate regulatory process and adequate time to educate the employer community. Although the Administration continues to support a 12-month extension, the Administration supports the six-month extension provided in the House version of S. 1198. ***** Message Sent To: Steven M.

We have also made needed reforms to our asylum system for refugees fleeing persecution. One of the Commission's recommendations is to restructure the main functions of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. This proposal raises difficult and complex issues; I have asked the Domestic Policy Council to coordinate with the affected federal agencies to carefully evaluate the Commission's proposal and other reform options designed to improve INS' structural ability to accomplish its mission.

This report, which reiterates many of the excellent recommendations contained in the Commission's interim reports, further contributes to our country's understanding of the role of immigration in the United States. I commend the Commission's work and its contribution to the national dialogue on immigration policy. I am proud of the significant progress my Administration has made toward improving America's immigration system. My Administration has curtailed illegal immigration through tougher border control, strengthened worksite enforcement, and record removals of criminal and other illegal aliens. We have also made needed reforms to our asylum system for refugees fleeing persecution. One of the Commission's recommendations is to restructure the immigration system by reallocating the main functions of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. This proposal raises difficult and complex issues, which need further consideration. I have asked the Domestic Policy Council to coordinate with the affected federal agencies to evaluate carefully the Commission's proposal and other reform options designed to improve INS's structural ability to accomplish its mission. With this report, the Commission completes its work. I want to thank all of its members and staff for their service and contribution on this important issue. Attachment 1.

Reed ( CN=Bruce N. Reed/OU=OPD/O=EOP @ EOP [ OPD ]) READ:UNKNOWN TEXT: Michelle: Michael Deich called to get Rahm and DPC's position on earmarks that the House appropriators have made to the COPS appropriations. Specifically, the House bill earmarks $100 million in unobligated balances from last year's appropriations (of which there is about $300 million still not spent) for the following non-hiring projects: - Technology Program ($35 million) -- with specific allocations in the report language for Southwest border information ($7.5 million), a law enforcement on-line system ($7.5 million), and the Regional Information Sharing System ($7.5 million); - Methamphetamine Program ($30 million) -- including $18.2 million for California's Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement; and - Drug "Hot Spots" ($35 million) -- for police and community groups to crack down on local drug markets. After discussing it w/Bruce, I told Mike that I thought we should fight the House's specific earmarks, but accept using $100 million of last year's money for these small non-hiring programs. The question that remains is: if the House sticks to its specific earmarks, do we want to threaten a veto. I understand that last year we used the veto threat to help strike earmarks, but -- given that we're talking about last year's unspent money, as well as programs we like in principle -- I'm inclined to think this is not veto threat material. Let me know what Rahm thinks.

Nothing is more threatening to our families and communities than criminals who move from neighborhood to neighborhood looking for children to prey on. That is why we must do everything we can to track these offenders and keep them away from our children. With your support we have already enacted critical legislation - such as the Jacob Wetterling Act, the Pam Lychner Act and Megan's Law - to help our communities guard against repeat sex offenders. These laws now serve as the foundation for many state sex offender registration systems and for notifying communities of released sex offenders. Congress is now considering - and I strongly support -- additional legislation to help states implement these registration systems and to make sure that sex offenders convicted in federal or military courts are covered by these laws. Equally important, my administration has worked hard to defend the constitutionality of state sex offender registration systems and community notification laws. And I am pleased to report that three federal courts of appeal have now upheld sex offender statutes in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Washington against constitutional challenges. My Administration will continue to fight to uphold these laws in the courts, including if necessary - the United States Supreme Court. We must now join together the efforts being made in all fifty states to track sex offenders. Every piece of information on a sex offender collected and made available in one state should be made available to every state. That is why last year, I directed the Attorney General to create a national registry to link the sex offender registries and notification systems being developed across the country. Eleven states are now participating in this effort, and I am grateful that they are making this national sex offender system a reality. With their help and yours, we can send a clear and powerful message to those who would prey upon our children: the law will follow you wherever you go. In addition, next week I will submit legislation to the Congress that will help protect our children in other important ways. This legislation the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact would standardize policies for states to share criminal records for purposes such as backgrounds checks for child care workers and school bus drivers to help screen out convicted sex offenders and other dangerous criminals. I need your support of the Compact as it moves through Congress and your State legislature. I can not emphasize enough how important your continued support and personal involvement is to the success of these two initiatives.

CLINTON PREPARED VIDEO REMARKS U.S. HISPANIC LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE OCTOBER 8-12, 1997 Hello. Thank you for inviting me to speak with you today. I am happy to know that you will be joined by Secretary of Labor Alexis Herman, Secretary of Education Richard Riley, Secretary of Energy Federico Pena, Ambassador Bill Richardson, and Administrator Aida Alvarez. I would like to congratulate my friend Juan Andrade (ahn-DRAH,-deh) and all participants in the 15th annual conference of the United States Hispanic Leadership Institute on another successful year. This conference has become a major forum for the aspirations of millions of Americans. The work that you do is grass roots at its best. Over the past 15 years, you have registered 1.3 million new voters, trained over 25,000 volunteers, and published hundreds of studies on Hispanic demographics. Your work has helped to include more people in our democracy, promoting the importance of voter registration and education, especially among young people. You are grooming a new generation of leaders, and for that, I say, thank you. Your work has helped our work. My Administration has appointed more Latinos than any other in history and I have been priviledged to work in the White House with Janet Murguia, a Kansan, Carolyn Curiel from Indiana, as well as three Chicago natives: Patti Solis, Carmen Lomellin (loh-meh-LEEN,), and Jose Cerda. Four and a half years ago this Administration set forth on a mission to keep the American Dream alive for all who would work for it; to keep America the world's strongest force for peace and freedom and prosperity; and to bring our own people together across all the lines that divide us into one America. We put forth and economic strategy that invests in all our people and passed a balanced budget that is in balance with our values. The budget represents the largest single increased investment in eductaion since 1965. I fought hard to insure that it expands Head Start, funds America Reads, and includes a 36% increase in funding for bilingual and immigrant education. Our budget also restores SSI and Medicaid eligibility for disabled legal immigrants 1,m proud to say that Hispanic Americans are reaping the results of our economic strategy. Last year, the income of the typical Hispanic household increased faster than during any other year on record. Hispanic unemployment has dropped from more than 11 percent to about 7 percent; small businesses owned by Latinos are being created at a record pace. And we are seeing more Latino homeowners than ever before. It makes me proud to know that Hispanics are claiming a greater share of the economic success of America. We are at a moment of hope and we must continue to press on. We must do what we can to improve the school drop out rate for Hispanics. Many of these young people leave school for responsible reasons, but we must teach our children that responsibility means staying in school. We have organized an intense effort in the White House to address the drop out problem and evaluate the ways in which our current programs can help young Hispanics reach their highest potential. The values that Hispanics have always held dear -- love of God, love of family and love of country -- continue to lift us all. Thank you for the important work you do, for encouraging our youth to become involved, and to use their voice in democracy. I,d especially like to congratulate the 30 students who will receive the Juan Andrade Scholarship for Young Hispanic Leaders this year. May all of you enjoy continued great success. God bless you.

First, I set-up a meeting last week w/Feinstein's staffer (Wilkie Green), Treasury and Justice. Wilkie had to cancel at the last minute, but I went ahead and met w/the agencies to go over the issues. As you know, they're concerned about our ability to do anything w/out new legislation (except for gun shows), but I've asked them to get me some additional info so that we could make a decision on our end. Treasury agreed to follow-up by Wednesday (yesterday), but was slowed down by key staff being out for the holiday. I spoke w/Treasury today, and they have a meeting scheduled for tomorrow on the DiFi requests -- as well as a conference call w/me. If all goes well, I hope to give Rahm an initial recommendations on follow-up steps by COB tomorrow. If not, and there is some reason we need more time, I've committed to Wilkie that we will not sit on this issue and intend to bring it to resolution as soon as possible.

Since this spring, meetings have been held with key opinion leaders in 12 major urban areas across the nation on the topic of metropolitan cooperation. This project has been managed by the Center for Neighborhood Technology in Chicago with funding from McArthur, Casey, Surdna, Irvine, and several other major foundations. With the regional meetings completed, preparations are now underway for a national meeting at the Brookings Institution in mid-November that will bring together representatives from the 12 metropolitan regions and Washington policy makers to seek agreement on a final set of recommendations to the Administration on implementing a federal metropolitan policy. The briefing will focus on some of the conclusions from the 12 regional meetings and the goals for the November meeting. It will be provided by Scott Bernstein, President of the Center for Neighborhood Technology, and Bruce Katz of the Brookings Institution. Please RSVP by email. Please give me a call at 66550 if you have any questions. Message Sent To: Jose Cerda III/OPD/EOP Michael Deich/OMB/EOP Aram H. Kailian/OVP @ OVP Emil E. Parker/OPD/EOP Francis S.

Overall crime is down for the fifth year in a row, with the biggest reductions coming in violent crime (6%) -- and especially murders (9%). Reported rapes, robberies, assaults and all types of property crimes are down from the previous year. Even the arrest rate for juveniles, which has skyrocketed for the last seven years, has now gone down for two years in a row. Since being elected President, my Administration has worked with police, prosecutors, school principals and community leaders on a tough, smart crime strategy to attack violent crime. Together, we have fought for more police in our communities, fewer guns on our streets, tougher punishment for violent offenders and better opportunities for our kids. Today's crime statistics show that, armed with these tools, we are moving in the right direction. Law abiding Americans are finally -- and decisively -- tipping the scales of justice in their favor.
