4.20.94 - - for radio address
Last week, I met with hundreds of mayors and community leaders,
with police chiefs and police officers to talk about what should
be in a tough, smart crime bill. And they we're all in agreement
Republicans and Democrats alike we need more police, tough
and smart punishments, and prevention efforts that give our
kids something to say "yes" to.
At that rally, I heard from an Atlanta police officer, Sergeant
Marc Lawson, about the importance of making community policing
work and of giving cops on the beat the tools they need to work
with the community to catch criminals and prevent crime.
I also had the pleasure of meeting - - and honoring - - 100 law
enforcement officers from every state in the country for their
commitment to public safety. Some of these officers, like
Detective Arlene Beckles of the NYPD who stopped an armed
robbery in progress - - were honored for putting their lives
on the line; and others, like
/ were honored for
their commitment to make a difference in people's everyday lives
(i.e., community policing, etc., see Liz Bernstein for hero
anecdotes).
After the rally, I sat down with a group called the Law Enforcement
Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is a nonpartisan
coalition consisting of 10 of the nation's most prominent law
enforcement groups and representing more than half a million
law enforcement officers nationwide. These law enforcement
leaders told me that they've been working to get a tough, smart
crime bill passed for years, and that they can't wait anymore.
They even presented me with a "Blue Print" for anti-crime
legislation. Here's what America's law enforcement community
wants:
Funding for 100,000 additional police officers -- we need to
strengthen the "thin blue line" between civilized society and
crime and disorder.
More community policing - - cops can't cut crime alone; they need
the community's support.
Funding for more prisons, jails and boot camps we must stop
the revolving door through smarter and tougher punishments.
That means "three strikes" and more prisons for repeat violent
offenders; drug treatment and testing for crime-committing
addicts; and boot camps for young, non-violent offenders.
Protecting our youth - - as we ask kids to say "no" to gangs, guns
and drugs let's give them opportunities to say "yes" through
afterschool programs, jobs, etc.
Assault weapons prohibition we're the only country that lets
teenagers roam the streets better armed than our police. We

can't allow that to happen.
Law enforcement support -- as we embark on this 5-year, $23 billion
effort to take back our streets, schools and communities, the
federal government must give state and local law enforcement
it needs to do the job. That means more resources, better
coordination and technology and an open line of communication
with all members of the law enforcement community.
I agree with our nation's law enforcement community. They have
a tough, common-sense agenda that we should pursue. I have
pledged to work with them now -- and as we work to finalize
and soon implement this historical crime legislation - - to
ensure that we don't break faith with the American people on
this important issue.

Sorry to take so long to get back to you, but I don't think you need to
make any calls to the Luncheon participants. Ed Jurith from the Drug Office has
spoken to everyone already. Apparently, Jim Burke was a little put off, but I
don't think it requires any damage control. Burke and Ides have already made
the rounds to Reno and others, so the luncheon is less a matter of timing than
it is of having the opportunity to meet with all interested parties at once.
Additionally, Ed also explained that most of the cabinet was traveling that day,
and that cabinet and DPC meetings scheduled for the same day were also
cancelled.
If you think a call from DPC is still appropriate, I am happy to call on
your behalf, apologize, etc.. Also, I will personally make sure that the Drug
Office folks do not commit to a new date until we know most of the cabinet folks
will be there. I'm sorry about the lapse on this.

6. Write Regulations for the Crime Bill that will promote funding of
community-based crime prevention programs.
Community groups were disappointed last year when the
Administration's $150 million Police Hiring Supplement program did not
include funds for community-based crime prevention programs -- only for
salaries and expenses associated with hiring and rehiring police
officers. ACORN's concerns about the current crime bill's program
regulations are no doubt based on this experience.
For the record, when the President first proposed that Congress
include $200 million for community policing in the mini-stimulus
package, the Attorney General transmitted to Congress a proposal that
called for $150 million for police hiring and $50 million for programs
to support community policing in other ways -- such as through
community-based crime prevention. Congressional appropriators, however,
rejected the inclusion of non-hiring community policing monies, and
ACORN and other community advocates do not want the same to happen with
$9 billion community policing program pending in the crime bill.
But the President's 100,000 cops program is much broader than last
year's Police Hiring Supplement. For instance, the bill states that its
number one purpose is to "substantially increase the number of law
enforcement officers interacting directly with members of the
community," and it further states that a fundamental purpose of the
program is to "encourage the development and implementation of
innovative programs to permit members of the community to assist State
and local law enforcement agencies in the prevention of crime in the
community." Based on this language, we can give ACORN some strong
assurances about the role we intend community groups to play in
implementing the community policing initiative. Here are the points you
can emphasize in the meeting:
1. A commitment to fund community-based anti-crime programs.
Whether or not the crime bill's regulations "set aside" funds
specifically for community-based anti-crime programs, we fully intend to
fund such initiatives through the 15% (or roughly $1.2 billion) of the
policing program that can be used for 10 broadly defined non-hiring
purposes. The crime bill's regulations will make abundantly clear that
grants will be awarded for community groups to work in concert with
their local police departments to reduce and prevent crime.
2. A commitment to use the President's policing program to
strengthen ties between local police and neighborhood residents. Even
for those community groups that do not receive or even apply for
grants, the President's policing plan has the potential to make local
police departments more responsive to the needs of residents in hard-
hit, high-crime neighborhoods. To apply for a community policing grant,
police departments have to submit a community policing plan "that
reflects consultation with community groups." Thus, as the nation's
police departments begin to draft community policing strategies,
community groups will have an opportunity to raise their concerns with
local police. We must challenge community groups to use this
opportunity to forge new partnerships with their police. (Some
community advocates have argued that the language in the crime bill is
not sufficiently strong to ensure responsiveness to the community, but
we can always try and strengthen the community consultation requirement
by regulation.)
3. A commitment to work with community advocates in implementing
the entire crime bill. One of the things that makes the current crime
bill different from previous anti-crime efforts is that it has much more
of a community focus. Whereas previous bills have focused on increasing
federal resources (FBI and DEA agents, federal prison construction,
etc.) and federalizing state and local crimes, the overwhelming majority
of the resources in this 6-year, $30 billion crime bill go directly to
communities for crime fighting programs. This bill puts an end to the
"trickle down" crime policies of the past and guarantees that crime
fighting monies will go to where they are needed most -- at the
community level. For example, the $1.1 billion Ounce of Prevention
Council will not only fund community-based crime prevention programs, it
can be used to coordinate the many crime prevention programs authorized
in the crime bill, to provide communities with technical assistance and
to waive certain program regulations in an effort to make the crime
bill's programs more community friendly. With so many of the crime
bill's programs potentially impacting communities, it is crucial that we
work with community groups on all aspects of the crime bill and before
regulations are promulgated.

Community Policing and New York
As you may know, community policing came under fire during
the Guiliani-Dinkins campaign. Both of Dinkins' Police
Commissioners, Lee Brown and Ray Kelly, were big proponents of
community policing and fought to put more police on the street.
In fact, after Dinkins and Brown put some 3,000 more police on
the street in community policing, crime dropped in New York City
in every index category for the first time in thirty years. But
Dinkins and Brown received little credit for the drop in the
crime rate. First, crime was dipping in most of the Northeast
during that same period, so New York's crime trends received
little attention. And second, Dinkins and Brown never overcame
New Yorkers' perception that they had unsatisfactorily handled
the days of rioting that took place in Crown Heights after an
African American boy, Cato
, was struck and killed by a car
driven by a Hasidic exchange student, Yankel Rosenbaum. Thus,
Guiliani -- who was already know in New York as a crime fighter -
- was able to successfully attack Dinkins' brand of community
policing as "soft" and generally undermine Dinkins' credibility
on crime.
But despite his criticisms of community policing, Guiliani
recruited Boston Police Commissioner and community policing
advocate Bill Bratton to take over the New York City Police
Department. In Boston, Bratton had implemented an aggressive
"Neighborhood Policing" plan. He had reached out to neighborhood
residents, small businesses, local hospitals, the District
Attorney's office and to anyone who would work in tandem with the
police department to reduce and prevent crime. In fact, after a
particularly brutal execution style murder, Bratton called the
local newspaper editors to decry their coverage and challenge
them to play a more productive role in reducing crime and fear of
crime in Boston. Bratton also published various articles on
community policing and became active in the Police Executive
Research Forum (PERF), a police think tank for college-educated
chiefs from larger cities that is at the forefront of community
policing. Thus, during his short tenure as NYPD Police
Commissioner, Bratton has had to struggle somewhat to please his
new boss and community policing critic Mayor Guiliani, without
abandoning his own strong beliefs about community policing.
Community Policing
Although the recent community policing debate in New York is
in large measure of political origin, it also stems in part from
the public's -- and sometimes a particular police chief's or
police officers' -- misunderstanding of community policing. Here
are some fundamental points to keep in mind about community
policing:
?
Community policing is best understood through its
component parts -- community engagement and problem
solving. These two are intregally linked and must
exist in tandem if a department is to succeed in
implementing community policing. Community enagement
just for the sake of improving the police relationship
to the community -- while worthwhile amounts to no
more than community relations. And problem-solving
that does not focus on the crime and disorder problems
that community residents care about misdirects scarce
police resources and undermines police accountablity to
the public.
?
Community policing is not simply a return to a style of
policing done in earlier times. Although some in
policing and politics make this claim, community
policing is much more. Thirty or fourty years ago not
all communities had officers assigned to their area who
were helpful to their residents. Communities of color
often did not have fond memories of policing in their
neighborhoods. Additionally, the working environments
in most departments back than was paramilitary, and
departments place a high priority on conformity -- both
of which are characteristics that do not lend
themselves to community policing.
?
Most police departments that claim to have implemented
community policing are only in the beginning stages of
their efforts. Even in the better community policing
departments, only a handful of the officers is actually
engaged in community policing while the majority
continue to be assigned in reactive, incident-driven
policing. We hope our initiative will allow Police
Chiefs to go beyond such a split-force approach and
allow them to pursue long-term, department-wide
community policing.
?
Community policing is not a collection of programs
(block watch and mentoring), nor a series of tactics
(foot patrol and bike patrol). It is a philosophy that
requires the transformation of the way we deliver
police services. Under community policing, police
officers will be analyzing crime and disorder problems,
working with the community on a search for alternative
solutions, implementing those solutions and evaluating
their effectiveness in between responding to calls for
police service. Community policing is all about
tailoring solutions, based on thoughtful, in-depth
analysis to unique crime and disorder probrems -- not
about applying generic models to a community's
problems.
?
Finally, for community policing to work, police
departments must focus on their primary mission --
crime control and prevention. To some extent, it is
easier to focus less on this primary function and
instead put expend limited time and resources on
projects that -- while related and worthwhile -- are
the work of other government agencies (inspecting
housing violations, clearing unkempt parks, removing
graffiti, establishing park basketball leagues).
Police must provide referrals to other agencies and
follow-up to make sure that such referrals are acted
upon -- but that is is. In the long run, community
policing will succeed -- not by becoming a more
efficient provider of others government services -- but
by reducing crime and fear of crime.
Bratton and the Administration
The Domestic Policy Council has been working with
Commissioner Bill Bratton for more than a year now. DPC first
reached out to him when it was developing the President's 100,000
more police proposal. Bratton joined the President and others in
the Rose Garden on August 11, 1993, when the policing plan was
unveiled, and he later testified in support of the measure before
the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime.
Bratton also attended the Brady Bill signing ceremony last
November -- just as he was being considered by Mayor Guiliani to
replace Ray Kelly as the NYPD's Police Commissioner. It was
right about this time that Guiliani began to criticize the
Dinkins Administration's community policing program as well as
the President's 100,000 more police plan, making it difficult for
Bratton to continue to be an advocate of the President's policing
plan. As a result, when the President visited New York in March
to do a combined a crime/National Service event, Bratton canceled
his plans to attend after Guiliani public criticized the event as
merely show-and-tell -- and the President's policing proposal as
offering no help to New York.
Since that time, however, Commissioner Bratton has twice met
with the President in his capacity as the President of the Police
Executive Research Forum (PERF), which holds a seat on the Law
Enforcement Steering Committee. Moreover, we have since been
able to amend the 100,000 more police program to address Mayor
Giuliani's concerns. Specifically, we have amended the policing
program to allow a portion of the monies to be used for
innovative strategies that redeploy existing officers, so long as
they can demonstrate that doing so will put more police on the
street. This change will allow New York City, which has already
expanded its police force, to purchase the technology for a
paperless arrest system that allow the department to increase its
street presence by at least 300 to 400 more officer.

--- DRAFT
March X, 1998
Trent Lott
Majority Leader
United States Senate
Washington, DC
Dear Mr. Leader:
Thank you for your letter regarding crack cocaine sentencing. I am pleased that you,
Senator Hatch, and Senator Abraham all agree that the current differential between crack and
powder cocaine penalties is too great and creates unfairness. I also appreciate your willingness
to support legislation to correct this unfairness.
As you know, Attorney General Reno and General McCaffrey have recommended to me
that the current penalties for crack and powder cocaine trafficking should be revised by: (1)
significantly reducing from 500 to 250 grams the amount of powder cocaine required to trigger
tough mandatory sentences; and (2) slightly increasing from 5 to 25 grams the amount of crack
cocaine required to trigger the same sentence. Such a revision would reduce the current
sentencing differential by 90 percent, maintain stiff penalties for all cocaine traffickers, and target
federal law enforcement resources to mid- and high-level traffickers. This is a sound
recommendation, and I hope you will reconsider your concerns and work with Attorney General
Reno and General McCaffrey on this issue.
If we are truly committed to building on the success we have had in fighting crime and
drugs over the past 5 years, however, we need to do much more than revise federal cocaine
sentences. We need to tackle the larger problem of gangs, guns and drugs head on. That is why
I strongly urge you and your colleagues to enact the following proposals this year:
(1) Juvenile Gangs. I have called for comprehensive juvenile crime legislation that
would target gangs and violent juveniles by: helping communities hire new prosecutors
and expand anti-gang task forces; establishing gun and drug courts to promote tough and
appropriate punishment for juveniles; and expanding the use of federal racketeering
statutes against gang members and curbing witness intimidation by gangs.
(2) Kids and Guns. Juvenile access to firearms is at the heart of our youth crime and
drug problem. The number of juveniles killing with guns quadrupled between 1984 and
1994, and more teenagers now die from gunshot wounds than all natural causes
combined. That is why I have proposed banning violent juveniles from owning guns
when they become adults, and that is why my budget includes $28 million for the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) to crack down on illegal gun traffickers.
Attachment 1:
Automated Records Management System
Hex Dump Conversion
(3) Drug Strategy. This month General McCaffrey and I released an unprecedented
National Drug Control Strategy with the goal of cutting drug use and availability in half.
Among other things, the Strategy includes more funds to: make sure that kids get the
anti-drug message every time they turn on the television, surf the "net," or listen to the
radio; expand and improve the Safe and Drug-Free Schools programs; hire 1,000 new
border patrol agents and help close the door on drugs at the Southwest Border; hire new
DEA agents to crackdown on methamphetamine and heroin; and help states demand that
drug offenders remain drug-free through testing and treatment
(4) After School Programs. Keeping schools open later to provide youth with adult
supervision between the hours of 3 and 8 p.m. -- when most violent youth crimes are
committed -- must also be a part of our effort to reduce juvenile crime and drug use. Just
this past month, more than 170 police chiefs, sheriffs, and prosecutors called on the
federal government to increase support for such efforts. That is why my budget proposes
quadrupling funds for Department of Education-sponsored after school programs, as well
as including after school initiatives as part of our juvenile crime legislation.
Again, thank you for your letter. I hope we will be able to work together on all of these
issues before the 105th Session of Congress adjourns.
Sincerely,

TReport: Terrorism is growing in wake of Oklahoma City
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) The 1995 Oklahoma City bombing has led
to a wave of right-wing terror, an organization that monitors hate
groups reported Wednesday.
The Southern Poverty Law Center said the FBI was investigating
about 100 domestic terrorism cases before the April 19, 1995,
bombing. The FBI is now working on more than 900 such cases, the
organization said.
"As we approach the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing,
we need to remember not just the lives that have been lost, but
that extremist and race-based terrorism is on the rise," said SPLC
co-founder Morris Dees.
The report said the anti-government movement has been fueled by
racist religious sects, propaganda forums such as the Internet and
the approach of the year 2000, with the Oklahoma City bombing the
``opening shot."
FBI spokesman Ron Van Vraken in Washington said he could not
confirm the number of such cases being investigated but ``I can say
there has been an increase" since Oklahoma City.
The center said the cases during the past three years include
plots to bomb buildings and bridges, kill public officials and
civil rights figures, invade Army bases, amass illegal weapons and
engage in financial scams.

Attached is the Treasury/Postal Appropriations letter for your review.
House Committee markup is tomorrow, Wednesday (6/17) at 9:30am; therefore,
please provide comments by 8:50am tomorrow. Thank you.
The Honorable Bob Livingston
Chairman
Committee on Appropriations
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Mr. Chairman:
The purpose of this letter is to provide the Administration's views on
the Treasury, Postal Service, and General Government Appropriations Bill,
FY 1999, as reported by the House Subcommittee. As the Committee develops
its version of the bill, your consideration of the Administration's views
would be appreciated. These views are based on incomplete information and
are, therefore, necessarily preliminary.
The Administration appreciates efforts by the Subcommittee to accommodate
the President,s priorities within the 302(b) allocation. However, the
allocation is simply insufficient to make the necessary investments in
programs funded by this bill. As a result, a variety of critical programs
discussed below are underfunded.
The only way to achieve the appropriate investment level is to offset
discretionary spending by using savings in other areas. The President's
FY 1999 Budget proposes levels of discretionary spending for FY 1999 that
conform to the Bipartisan Budget Agreement by making savings in mandatory
and other programs available to help finance this spending. In the
recently enacted Transportation Equity Act, Congress -- on a broad,
bipartisan basis -- took similar action in approving funding for surface
transportation programs paid for with mandatory offsets. We encourage the
Congress to take advantage of such additional offsets, or to reduce
appropriations for programs or projects not requested by the President.
Below is a discussion of our specific concerns with the
Subcommittee-reported bill. We look forward to working with you to
resolve these concerns as the bill moves forward.
Year 2000 Computer Conversion
The Administration appreciates the emphasis that the Subcommittee has
placed on year 2000 (Y2K) computer conversion activities. While we
support the funding mechanism established in the Act, we have some
concerns regarding the mechanism for, and allocation of, resources to
address the Y2K issue. In the FY 1999 Budget, the President has requested
more than $1 billion for Y2K computer conversion. In addition, the Budget
anticipated that additional requirements would emerge over the course of
the year, and included an allowance in Function 920 for emergencies and
other unanticipated needs. At this time, we believe that the resource
levels included in the President,s Budget will fully address Y2K computer
conversion requirements government-wide. However, as we learn more about
how to address this problem, we expect that ensuring Government-wide
compliance will require flexibility to respond to unanticipated
requirements. This mechanism provides such flexibility. As action on the
various appropriations bills proceeds, we urge Congress to leave as much
as possible of the $2.25 billion contingent reserve unallocated so that
funds are available to address emerging needs.
Further, we urge Congress to refrain from allocating contingency funds
for needs that are not related to Y2K computer compliance. For example,
it appears that the funding level assumed for IRS, use of the proposed
Y2K emergency contingent appropriation includes at least $22 million for
computer systems needs that are not Y2K-related. We believe that these
funds should be provided in the regular appropriation.
The Administration has concerns about Subcommittee Report language that
would impose Y2K reporting requirements beyond those already in place.
While we appreciate the Committee's intent, such reporting requirements
could divert resources and management attention that would more
appropriately be focused on achieving compliance. In addition, the
Administration objects to report language that would authorize the Chair
of the President's Council on Year 2000 Computer Conversion to "directly
access and take control of" certain agency systems. We believe that the
process now in place, whereby agency heads work in collaboration with the
Chair towards achieving compliance, is the most appropriate procedure to
ensure efficiency and accountability.
Federal Election Commission
The Administration strongly objects to language included in the bill that
would limit the term of the Federal Election Commission's staff director
and general counsel to four years and require a vote of four commissioners
to reappoint them. This procedure is a departure from current practice,
established in statute, whereby the Commission appoints a staff director
and general counsel for an unlimited term. As with all Commission
decisions under current practice, removal of the staff director and
general counsel requires a vote of four commissioners. The Administration
urges the Committee to eliminate this provision from the bill.
Furthermore, because the provision effectively could remove the current
occupants of the positions, it would raise serious constitutional
questions under the separation of power.
Executive Office of the President
The Administration is concerned with the Subcommittee,s inclusion of
several provisions in the General Provisions and Executive Residence
sections of the bill and language in the Subcommittee Report. It is our
hope that any differences that exist concerning these provisions will be
resolved as the bill moves through the process.
Possible Amendments Related to Brady Act and Assault Weapons
The Administration understands that there may be several extraneous
amendments offered during the full Committee markup that would negatively
impact the Administration,s efforts to reduce gun crime on America,s
streets. Such amendments would be strongly opposed by the
Administration.
Internal Revenue Service
The Administration appreciates the Subcommittee,s efforts to fund the
President,s Budget request for the IRS. We look forward to working
closely with the committee and the Congress to identify ways in which the
full funding in the President,s request can be achieved.
The Administration appreciates congressional support for IRS information
technology investments. However, tying obligation of funds to GAO review
of expenditure plans is objectionable since the Administration has no
control over the nature or timing of any prospective GAO review.
U.S. Customs Service
The Administration is concerned about the funding level for Customs,
Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). Without major revisions to the
existing system, Customs cannot keep up with increasing trade volumes nor
can it be responsive to the requirements stated in the 1993 Modernization
Act and the needs articulated by industry. The Subcommittee has funded
only $8 million of the requested $56 million level, which would cause the
modernization effort to come virtually to a halt. To accommodate the full
amount requested, the Administration has proposed funding the majority of
ACE requirements through a user fee paid by those who stand to benefit
most from this system, the trade community.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
The Administration requests reconsideration of the Violent Crime
Coordinator initiative, as the U.S. Attorneys have requested additional
ATF support for bringing cases involving violent criminals to the
Department of Justice for prosecution.
Relocation of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms headquarters
staffing remains a key concern due to inadequate security at the present
headquarters site. We hope that the Congress will continue to consider
funding for this priority when the review process is completed.
Federal Employees Health Benefits Program
The Administration strongly opposes sections 514 and 515 of the bill.
These provisions would restrict Federal Employees Health Benefits Program
(FEHBP) coverage for abortions except in situations where the life of the
mother is endangered or the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest.
While the President believes that abortion should be safe, legal, and
rare, the Administration does not believe that Federal employees and their
families should be precluded from choosing to purchase health insurance th
at includes broader coverage. The Administration believes that the
decision to cover abortion should be left to each health plan
participating in the FEHBP. Thus, Federal employees who wish to purchase
health coverage that does not include abortion services would have that
choice. The provision in the Subcommittee bill does not allow Federal
employees and their families to make that choice.
Pay Raise
The Administration is disappointed that the Subcommittee proposes to
eliminate the 1999 pay raise for Federal judges and employees paid under
the Executive Schedule. Failure to provide pay raises for senior
executives is eroding the value of their pay, causing severe pay
compression in the executive ranks. Pay adjustments have been made for
such individuals only once in the last five years. If continued, this
failure will affect the Government's ability to attract and retain the
executive talent that it needs. We urge the Committee to restore the pay
raise for Federal judges and the Executive Schedule.
Office of National Drug Control Policy
The Administration appreciates the support the Subcommittee has provided
for drug control efforts in general, and for ONDCP in particular. The
Administration encourages the Committee to provide the full amounts
requested for the ONDCP Director to enhance drug control activities and
address emerging drug threats. The Committee could fund this spending, in
part, by reducing amounts earmarked by the Subcommittee for an unrequested
technology transfer program.
Federal Buildings Fund
The Subcommittee has not provided $14 million requested for the design of
a new Department of Transportation (DOT) Headquarters. Instead, the
Subcommittee urges GSA to enter into a lease transaction, as authorized by
the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the Senate
Environment and Public Works Committee. The Administration requests that
the Committee provide funding for the design of a new DOT Headquarters.
Providing for a government-owned building would save taxpayers
approximately $190 million, in present value terms, compared to the cost
of entering into a lease.
The Subcommittee bill also would delay the availability of funding until
September 30, 1999, for the repair and alterations program ($19 million)
and building operations program ($223 million). The Administration is
concerned that a delay in obligations of this amount for buildings
operations would impede GSA,s ability to operate and maintain Federal
facilities under its control.
We also note that the Subcommittee bill approved over $500 million for 15
unrequested courthouse construction projects.
National Bioethics Advisory Commission
The Administration objects to section 628 of the Subcommittee bill, which
would prevent interagency funding of the National Bioethics Advisory
Commission. The work of the Commission affects at least 15 Federal
agencies. Access to interagency funding is essential for continued
operations of this small, but important commission.
Dissemination of Public Information
Language in the Subcommittee Report would require OMB to issue
regulations establishing detailed procedures for how Federal and
non-Federal entities (including States, grantees, and contractors)
disseminate public information. First, the language is inappropriate in
that it would directly affect a matter that is currently under litigation
in the Federal Courts. Second, the language would require the creation of
a complex bureaucratic process that would delay the timely release of
public information. Most agencies do an excellent job of releasing public
information including crop statistics, weather data, and public health
warnings. The language would make such releases subject to a lengthy and
complex evaluation and comment process that would take resources away from
the dissemination mission. Third, because of the language's broad sweep,
the regulations to be issued would create considerable uncertainty among
non-Federal parties as to their legal responsibilities for disclosing
information. For example, a Defense contractor would have to interpret
the applicability of the regulations issued pursuant to this language when
bidding on a contract to develop technology for the Defense Department
because the regulations could affect the winning contractor's rights in
valuable technical data (e.g., jet engine design) developed under the
contract. Similar and potentially costly effects could apply to grantees
and States.
Competition in Commercial Activities
The Administration understands that an amendment may be offered that
would require that all commercial work performed by Federal employees be
submitted to competition and preclude the conversion of any contracted
work to in-house performance. The Administration would oppose such an
amendment. The Administration's policy is to promote competition to
achieve the best deal to the taxpayer, not simply to out-source. The
Government must be permitted to choose the alternative -- public or
private -- that is the most cost effective. The proposed amendment does
not acknowledge our larger reinvention effort and would mandate a
five-year schedule for conducting cost comparisons involving all
commercial work performed by Federal employees. This mandate would be ad
ministratively burdensome and could preclude agencies from considering
other management improvement efforts.
We look forward to working with the Committee to address our mutual
concerns.
Sincerely,
Jacob J. Lew

We're announcing 16 demonstration grants to cities to promote values-based

and the funds are to already exisiting programs (weed 'n seed sites, crime

1. Build on School Discipline speech: "Crime is dropping in this country because we are
getting serious about punishment, and getting serious about prevention. Crime is dropping
because entire communities are taking responsibility for their own streets and neighborhoods,
and because government is giving them the support they need. This is the idea behind
community policing -- the 100,000 police we are putting on the streets. And when we assume
responsibility, we set tough standards for behavior, something remarkable happens: people
behave."
2. Tough standards in Boston Gun Project -- There is perhaps no better example of this than
Boston's tough, smart approach to gangs and guns. In Boston, Federal and local law
enforcement came together and delivered a clear and unambiguous to the 1,300 gang members in
some 60 gangs responsible for at least 60% of the youth homicides in the city. They said: "We
know who you are and what you 're doing -- and we 'll be watching you. Most importantly, we
aren't going to tolerate any shootings or stabbings. Anyone who breaks the rules will feel the
full force of the law. Sure enough, a couple of gangs broke the rules and were made an
example of. They were targeted for stiff federal sentences. And the message get out to other
gang members that they would meet the same fate. This made it possible for the gangs to disarm
-- and most of them did -- bringing juvenile murders to a halt for more than 2 years.
3. Role local religious leaders and responsible adults -- But that's not all that Boston did.
Boston realized that to truly break the drug, gang and gun culture, they had to do more than set
and enforce tough standards; they had to look beyond the role of government to a more powerful
and alternative set of values for these kids to embrace. Boston turned to people like Rev.
Eugene Rivers, who had the respect and physical presence in the community that would allow
him to reach out to youth and try and instill in them a basic set of values, a sense of right and
wrong. So Boston, like some of the cities here today, formed new alliances with local priests
and ministers to help them fight the allure of gangs, guns and drugs in the smartest way possible
-- by enlisting the help of the faith-based community.
4. Announcement -- Today, I am pleased to announce that we will be making new
"Values-Based Violence Prevention" grants available to 16 communities to help fight crime.
These funds will go to existing community-based efforts that include law enforcement, schools,
business and yes -- faith-based organizations. They will go to support anti-gang, truancy
prevention, mentoring and other activities that will help instill common sense values in our kids
and offer them positive alternatives to the gangs and drugs available to them on the streets.
5. Chicago Study. Last year, the initial findings of a long-term, ground-breaking study about
crime and violence in Chicago neighborhoods revealed that the single biggest predictor of violent
crime rates was not poverty, unemployment, and race, but a strong sense of community and a
shared set of values. The study found that neighborhoods -- black or white, rich or poor -- with
a shared set of community values that adults in the community were willing to reinforce had
violent crime rates 40 percent below those of other neighborhoods. Government has a role in
enforcing laws and funding key services. But government is not a substitute for the informal
social controls that communities themselves exercise -- through local institutions, like our
churches, and through responsible adults, like Rev. Rivers and others here today.

Round Table on Youth Violence
April 24, 1998
Purpose of Meeting: Following up on his remarks after the Jonesboro shooting, today the
President and First Lady will meet with a panel of experts on youth violence and school safety.
In preparation for this meeting, these experts recently met with the Attorney General and
Secretary of Education and highlighted the following points:
Common elements. There are some similarities between the tragic shootings in
Jonesboro, Paducah and Pearl. In each of these cases, the alleged offenders knew their
victims, had access to firearms, involved other juveniles and -- perhaps most importantly
-- exhibited warning signs that were not acted upon..
Multiple shootings rare. School shootings like these, however, are very rare. Very
few homicides occur in schools, and less than one percent of students actually report
taking a gun to school. Also, 90% of public schools do not report any serious crimes to
law enforcement.
Lessons about a changing culture. The experts agree, however, that we should not
overlook these tragedies as statistical anomalies. They tell us much about the a changing
and more violent youth culture -- about young people who grow up disconnected from
their communities and from responsible adults who can teach them right from wrong.
Broad response to all youth violence required. While we must to continue to review
these particular cases and further study violence in rural America, our response must be to
take on the larger problem of youth violence -- violence in the media, youth access to
firearms, parental involvement, increased accountability, and violence prevention and
mediation.
Participants: Those invited to today's meeting with the President and First Lady include:
Attachment 1:
Automated Records Management System
Hex Dump Conversion
Values-Based Violence Prevention
Internal Talking Points -- Press Guidance
Presidentially inspired. Tomorrow's announcement of values-based grants is an idea
inspired by the President himself. After reading in the June 1st issue of Newsweek about
how local priests and ministers were working more and more with law enforcement to
take on juvenile crime -- and having met Rev. Rivers from Boston, who is featured in the
article -- the President spoke to his Senior Adviser, Rahm Emanuel, and the Attorney
General, about helping other communities to involve faith communities in the fight
against gangs, guns and drugs.
President's strategy built on Boston's successful youth violence strategy. Boston's
tough, smart approach to gangs and guns is the best example of how we can reduce youth
violence. In Boston, Federal and local law enforcement came together, traced all guns
used in youth crimes and cracked down on gun traffickers. They put gang members
responsible for most of the city's youth homicides on notice: violence will not be
tolerated. And, to break the culture of drugs, gangs and guns, they realized they had to
look beyond government to a more powerful set of values for troubled kids to embrace.
So they enlisted the help of their priests and pastors -- of people like Rev. Eugene Rivers
-- who had the respect and physical presence in the community to reach out to youth and
help instill in them basic values -- a sense of right from wrong. The result: juvenile
crime plummeted and youth gun homicides were brought to a halt for more than 2 years.
Not waiting for Congress to act. In February of 1997, the President forwarded a
comprehensive anti-gang and youth violence strategy to Congress that would have
allowed cities across the country to replicate Boston's success. Unfortunately, in another
attempt to curry favor with the NRA, Congress has still not passed a comprehensive
juvenile crime bill. This has not stopped the President acting. He has tried to replicate
Boston's success in other cities by expanding comprehensive gun tracing and awarding
COPS grants that target gangs and firearms violence. And tomorrow, the President will
announce that 16 of these communities will also receive grants from the Justice
Department to help law enforcement partner with faith-based and other community
organizations. These grants, of $135,000 each, will help fund anti-gang efforts, truancy
prevention, mentoring and other activities that help instill common sense values and
promote responsibility among our youth.
Link between violence and values. Last year, the initial findings of a long-term study
about crime and violence in Chicago neighborhoods revealed that the single biggest
predictor of violent crime rates was not poverty, unemployment, or race -- but a strong
sense of community and a shared set of values. The study found that neighborhoods
shared set of community values that adults in the community were willing to reinforce
had crime rates 40 percent below those of other neighborhoods. That's why, by working
with religious institutions, responsible adults and others that reinforce a basic set of
values in a community, we believe we can reduce juvenile crime and violence.

Promoting Values and Fighting Crime
July 22, 1998
Recognizing the important role that civic, community, and faith-based organizations can play in
reducing crime, President Clinton will unveil a new Values-Based Violence Prevention Initiative.
Specifically, Justice Department will make $2.2 million in grants available to 16 community-based
collaboratives -- including religiously-affiliated organizations -- that target youth violence, gangs,
truancy, and other juvenile problems by promoting common-sense values and responsibility.
Value-Based Violence Prevention
Building on the Boston model. The Values-Based Initiative stems from the successful
approach taken in Boston, where local law enforcement joined forces with preachers and
other faith organizations to protect youth from violence and give them alternatives to crime.
The whole community worked together -- from the district attorney, to the federal prosecutor,
probation officers, police, social service workers and neighborhood ministers -- to combat
gangs and prevent juvenile crime. The result: juvenile crime plummeted and youth
homicides with firearms came to a halt.
Linking stronger values to less violence. Values are a strong predictor of violent crime. The
initial findings of a long-term study on violence in Chicago neighborhoods found that
communities with strong sense of shared values that were reinforced by adults had 40% less
crime than those that did not. In fact, a community's willingness to work together to
reinforce certain behaviors and maintain order was a better predictor of crime rates than other
factors, such as poverty or race.
A comprehensive response to youth violence. The initiative builds on existing
Administration efforts to reduce juvenile crime. Cities taking part in this Values-Based
Initiative are already participating in the President's Youth Crime Gun Interdiction Initiative,
Anti-Gang COPS initiative, and Justice's Weed and Seed program. Today's initiative will
help more cities replicate the Boston model by enhancing these efforts with the involvement
of community-based groups -- including religiously-affiliated organizations -- to reach out to
at-risk youth, instill values, and improve public safety.
Expanding partnerships in 16 cities. The initiative will provide grants of $135,000 for gang
intervention, truancy prevention, mentoring, drug and alcohol abuse, conflict resolution, job
training, and other activities. The 16 cities selected for the demonstration are: Salinas, CA;
Los Angeles, CA; Washington, DC; Miami, FL; Chicago, IL; Indianapolis, IN; Baltimore,
MD; Detroit, MI; Kansas City, MO; Hempstead, NY; Portland, OR; Philadelphia, PA;
Charleston, SC; San Antonio, TX; Richmond, VA; and Seattle, WA.
Fighting for a Tough, Smart Juvenile Crime Bill
The President continues to call on Congress to enact his Anti-Gang and Youth Violence
Strategy -- to allow more communities to achieve Boston's success in attacking juvenile
crime. The President's strategy includes money for prosecutors, courts, and probation
officers to promote and enforce tough standards for juveniles, as well as funds for
community-based anti-gang prevention similar to today's initiative.

The President's Anti-Gang and Youth Violence Strategy
Targeting Gangs and Violent Juvenile ($160 million per year)
Hires new prosecutors and expands anti-gang task forces so that state and local
prosecutors can crack down on gang members and violent juveniles;
Treats gangs like organized crime by expanding use of racketeering statutes (i.e.,
RICO) for gang-related offenses;
Adds probation officers so cities can replicate Boston's successful Operation
Night Light, where probation officers work with police to make sure young
offenders are complying with their probation;
Curbs gang witness intimidation by giving U.S. Attorneys new prosecutorial tools
and allowing judges to hold gang members without bail pending trial;
Establishes juvenile gun and drug courts to ensure that youthful offenders receive
appropriate and timely punishment; and
Cracking Down on Guns and Gun Traffickers ($28 million per year)
Prohibits juveniles convicted of violent crimes from buying guns on their 21st
birthday;
Increases penalties for selling handguns to juveniles and juvenile handgun
possession;
Assists law enforcement in determining and responding to local gun trafficking
patterns by tracing firearms recovered at crime scenes and hiring additional ATF
agents to crackdown on illegal gun traffickers.
Keeping Kids In School, Off Drugs and Out of Trouble ($295 million per year)
Expands efforts to keep schools open from 3 to 8 pm -- the time when most
violent juvenile crimes are committed -- and to promote anti-truancy initiatives
and curfews that keep kids off the streets; and
Increases penalties for using kids to sell drugs, selling drugs to kids or selling
drugs in or near a schools.

Senior Crime Ideas
BR/EK:
I've come up pretty dry on things to do w/seniors and crimes, and don't
think we really have anything for Tuesday. As Leanne mentioned to
Christa, DOJ has about $260,000 in its account of $2.5 million to give
local law enforcement for training related to elderly crime and fraud, but
this won't be ready until September. And with respect to increasing
penalties, the bill the President signed a few weeks ago on telemarketing
fraud did just that. Building on the seniors provision in the '94 crime
bill, this new law:
- directed the US Sentencing Commission to increase penalties for
telemarketing fraud (4 levels generally, 8 levels for seniors);
- provided for civil and criminal forfeiture of the ill-gotten gains from
telemarketing scams; and
- made certain clarifications to the Crime Bill's provisions requiring
mandatory restitution in telemarketing fraud cases.
The bills introduced in Congress on this topic are very inspiring either.
One bill, introduced by Rep. Weygand, would authorize $10 million for HHS
to disseminate information and do more to educate seniors about
telemarketing fraud. Another, by Rep. Ackerman, would increase penalties
(by at least 5 levels) for violent crimes against "vulnerable victims"
defined as persons under 14 and over 65 years of age -- as well as for
crimes committed against "vulnerable victims" while using a bullet-proof
vest or laser sight (interesting angle, no?). Generally, the more
substantive bills (penalties, restitution, forfeiture) were rolled into
the "Telemarketing Fraud Prevention Act" signed into law by the Pres. on
June 16th.
Some ideas for model state legislation that the AARP has promoted include:
requiring registration and bonding of telemarketers; requiring disclosure
of the caller and company's name and sales purpose upfront; requiring
details of prize offers and no-purchase means of contest entry; banning
courier pick-up of payments; and a three-day cancellation right. I
imagine, but don't know for sure, that the FCC and/or FTC may have
existing policies on some of these areas. A national three-day
cancellation right sounds pretty appealing, though but I'm a crime
fighter, not a consumer advocate.
Some other ideas for the future, but probably not Tuesday, could include:
more and better training for police and prosecutors to work with elderly
on a variety of crime issues (senior volunteers, community policing
focused on senior issues (Alzheimer's patients, safe passage programs,
etc.) more funds for the feds, working with AARP and other similar groups,
to reach out and notify seniors on so-called "mooch lists" before they're
victimized; more support for national and state 800 lines to answer Q's
about telemarketing fraud and other senior scams; and targeting internet
fraud before it becomes as widespread as fraud by telephones.

Laura:
A couple of other quick points, in case you want or need them
U.S. Attorneys/State Ethics Rules -- This provision to allow state ethics
rules to be applied to the U.S. Attorneys is strongly opposed by Justice
and prosecutors groups. We should join the Department in vigorously
opposing this provision.
Coordinated Drug Strategy -- Although we do not support this unnecessary
and duplicative requirement to have Justice develop its own drug strategy
for drug prosecutions, it is not worth fighting over.
Two issues not mentioned in the list, but worth remembering
Assault Weapons -- We support language in the Treasury-Postal
appropriations to allow ATF to compensate for their losses a very small
group of persons with permits to import certain modified assault weapons.
Gun Prosecutions -- Although Justice is concerned with a $1.5 million
earmark for U.S. Attorneys to focus on gun prosecutions in Philadelphia,
we can accept this amendment. We just need to be sure that the final
language does not mandate what cases the U.S. Attorney's office has to
take. Additionally, we should make sure that the final language does not
re-write the President's Youth Crime Gun Interdiction Initiative or impose
any undue burdens on U.S. Attorneys in general.

Riders on the storm
Laura:
Here's a quick and dirty on the riders of import
BRADY -- The Brady rider should be strongly opposed. It undermines
implementation of the permanent Brady provisions in two ways: (1) it does
not allow the FBI to charge a user fee for background checks, so funds
will have to especially appropriated for this purpose; and (2) it does not
allow the FBI to retain record of checks, so Brady implementation would
need to be delayed for about 6 months until the software is reconfigured.
OMB, DPC and Justice are currently working out a bottom-line compromise,
in case it is necessary.
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT -- We should strongly oppose the changes to this
Act, which would reduce the record-keeping requirements and penalties that
work to prevent precursor chemicals from be diverted to illegal markets.
