SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FOREST SUMMITS Over the last five years there have been a number of Forest Summit type attempts to resolve forestry issues in California, Oregon, and Washington. These events have been held on a state by state basis and have primarily dealt with state issues. However, some Oregon political leaders have attempted to address federal issues as well. The previous Forest Summits have met with different degrees of success. A summary of such efforts is listed below by state. California Sierra Forest Summit In November 1991, Governor Pete Wilson and his administration launched an effort which became known as the Sierra Forest Summit. The Governor's objective was to build public consensus on the need to address environmental problems in the Sierra Nevada. Although originally envisioned as a single, two-day meeting of all public and private interests, the Forest Summit process has continued for over a year and has entailed five additional follow-up workshops throughout the mountain range. The Forest Summit has also led to the publication of a report containing recommendations for action, and a series of subsequent efforts to implement those recommendations. The Sierra Forest Summit revealed much about the undertaking of extensive public outreach efforts. The following are some process observations which were made. It is critically important to identify and work with interested organizations and their representatives. Action -- or the mere suggestion of action -- without the input of affected parties can be politically troublesome as well as a waste of time. A great deal of time should be invested in working with locally affected interests. It is also very important to collect accurate data on the region and issues at hand. During the Sierra Forest Summit process, information was found to be incomplete, not well organized, and/or no longer current. Any similar process must have collection of all necessary data as an underlying objective. The Sierra Forest Summit did not differentiate between problem identification and problem solving. Framing the issues is very time consuming, therefore, it was suggested that more focus be directed toward developing solutions. It is absolutely necessary to address timber issues in an economic context. Oregon Oregon's Timber Forest Summit (Section 318 Forest Summit) In March 1989, a Federal court enjoined the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) from selling approximately 4 billion board feet of timber on 13 national forests in western Oregon and Washington. Lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior (BLM), faced possible similar constraints on its annual 1.2 billion-board-foot sale program. The basis for the court injunction was a finding that USFS failed on both procedural and substantive grounds to take steps under the National Forest Management Act of 1976 to protect habitat for the northern spotted owl. To resolve the court-ordered timber-sale impasse on National Forest lands, to prevent a similar crisis on BLM lands, and to move the land managers toward revising forest management activities to comply with the law, the Oregon Congressional delegation and Governor Neil Goldschmidt brought together representatives of timber and environmental interests, plus regional heads of affected federal agencies. The elected officials heard presentations from the participants, asked questions of them, and consulted with federal agency officials for informational purposes. They then held a private meeting during the lunch hour and discussed a conceptual plan to resolve the issue for the short term. The elected officials resumed the public session while staff developed a draft outline and statement for the plan. Again, in private, the drafts were approved by the elected officials, then announced publicly to the meeting. The agreement allowed timber sales on affected USFS and BLM lands for 1989 and 1990; a sale program level significantly reduced from pre-1989 volumes; protection of key old-growth forest areas; and a declaration of "legal sufficiency" by the Congress for the package to meet key laws. Timber representatives indicated reluctant support; environmental advocates were noncommittal. Key Washington state public officials were informed of the outcome of the meeting and asked to help turn it into a legislative package in Congress. Ultimately, the plan developed at the meeting was put into legislative language, modified, and incorporated into the Fiscal Year 1990 Interior Appropriations Act. A constitutional challenge to the provision was raised, but was unanimously rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court. 3 The Salmon Summit Process Elected officials in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana concerned about the national controversy over the northern spotted owl hoped to forge a regional solution to their salmon problems by convening a summit. The series of meetings was credited primarily to Senator Hatfield of Oregon, but governors of all four states were also involved. Summit organizers hoped to achieve any and all of the following: greater communication between the interests that compete for water and fish rights; an agreed-upon set of actions to prevent salmon decline and promote salmon recovery, and; prevention of the proposed listing of three northwest salmon species under the Endangered Species Act. The summit consisted of 5 to 10 meetings held over the course of six months. They involved the 35 to 40 representatives of the above interests and were mediated by a group called the Mediation Institute. The mediators managed meeting dynamics but had no decision-making authority. Few elected officials took part in the process directly; Senator Hatfield was present for a few of the meetings at the beginning and the end of the six month period. The most productive result of the summit was increased communication between the interests involved in salmon decline and protection. The summit provided a vehicle for these groups to begin communicating better. Although the summit itself did not produce a concrete plan for salmon recovery, it did pave the way for the NWPPC to hold hearings and negotiate among interest groups in order to lead up to a final plan. The Fish and Wildlife Plan, produced by the NWPPC after the summit itself, outlined a program that included some of the goals that summit participators hoped for originally. However, the plan was not a unanimously applauded, comprehensive solution to the complicated issues involved. Washington Timber, Fish and Wildlife Agreement In the summer of 1986, representatives of state agencies, Indian tribes, timber industry, and environmental groups met to discuss better ways of doing business. The participants were drawn to the meeting because forestry practices on private lands were being challenged by Indian tribes as degrading to fishery habitat. State regulatory authority, federal court intervention, private property rights, tribal primacy, and environmental goals were on a collision course. 4 The participants agreed to discuss issues over time, not realizing it would take five months of intense negotiations to reach consensus. A set of ground rules was adopted at the outset. The participants were divided into a policy group of decision makers and a working group of technical and scientific staff. The latter group was in turn split into a dozen technical subcommittees. Negotiators agreed to leave their "weapons" at the door. Negotiators were free to walk away from the table, but had to state the reason they were leaving and give others a chance to resolve the issue. As a result of The Timber, Fish, and Wildlife Agreement, the Washington Department of Natural Resources separated regulatory functions from timber management, and began an extensive formal training program for field staff. Interdisciplinary teams were created to focus on state and private forest practices, and more regulatory flexibility was built into landowners' forest management plans. The Timber, Fish and Wildlife Agreement was hailed throughout the nation as a success. Sustainable Forestry Roundtable The Sustainable Forestry Roundtable was initiated by the Washington Commissioner of Public Lands in 1989 in response to concerns about accelerated clearcut harvesting, conversion of productive lowland forests to urban uses, cumulative effects on wildlife and fisheries habitat, and forestland ownership changes. The habitat and cumulative effects issues were not solved in the Timber, Fish, and Wildlife Agreement. Participants in the Sustainable Forestry Roundtable included the same types of representatives as those in the Timber, Fish, and Wildlife Agreement. County government representatives were also invited to participate. The participants used the working relationships from the Timber, Fish, and Wildlife Agreement to address the new unresolved issues. The Sustainable Forestry Roundtable process took 12 months. The process consisted of a series of facilitated meetings and numerous working group sessions. These intensive meetings resulted in a negotiated settlement. Some environmental groups supported the agreement but had previously decided to require unanimous consent for ratification. Absent this unanimity, the environmentalists rejected the proposal. The other groups supported the proposal. 5 The Washington State Legislature considered but never voted on a bill incorporating major portions of the agreement. Subsequently, the Washington Forest Practices Board drafted a rules package based on the agreement which were adopted at a later date. The Timber, Fish, and Wildlife and Sustainable Forestry Roundtable agreements led to the following observations on negotiated problem solving. All parties must be invited to participate by the implementing executive agency. All parties must abide by a set of ground rules for conduct and ratification. All parties must be empowered by their constituents to make decisions. All parties must commit to find solutions to problems. All parties must agree on a process for dealing with external groups, media, and political observers. Any final agreement must also consider subsequent review and involvement of all parties. Commission on Old Growth Alternatives for Washington's Forest Trust Lands In June 1988, the Commission on Old Growth Alternatives for Washington's Forest Trust Lands convened for an introductory meeting and in September held the first of a series of monthly day-long meetings with an independent facilitator. Commission members established procedures, ground rules, a schedule, and identified topics for informational presentations to provide a common base of information. They included the trust responsibility, old growth ecology, economics, forest harvest methods and wildlife habitat. For each of the topics, Commission members identified key questions to be investigated. In addition to these scheduled monthly meetings, the Commission went on a two- day field trip to the Olympic Peninsula in early October. Commission members saw firsthand a variety of mature, natural, natural stands on Department of Natural Resources lands and in the Olympic National Park. They also had an opportunity to hear from the local community about the problems it faces in light of expected timber harvest reductions. 6 Commission members developed a set of values that would serve as a basis for interests that could be met in a Commission recommendations package, described below. In mid-February, Commission members met in a two-day session to begin to generate alternatives that, as a package, would meet the collective needs of the various interests represented on the Commission. Work groups were created at this meeting to further develop alternatives that Commission members felt were promising. During the one year life of the Commission, from June 1988 through June 1989, Commission members received both orally and in written form an extensive body of factual information, ideas, opinions, and recommendations. They worked together in all-day plenary sessions and in numerous smaller groups created to advance the Commission's work. The smaller groups reported their progress to the full Commission at regularly-scheduled monthly meetings. The Commission compiled the following recommendations: The Commission recommends that the legal obligations to trust beneficiaries be met in all of its recommendations. However, the Commission further recommends that the state provide additional sources of revenue for school and university construction. The Commission recommends the creation of the Olympic Experimental State Forest on western Olympic Peninsula state trust lands. The Commission recommends creation of the Olympic Natural Resources Center to develop research and educational programs to support management of natural resources for both the production of commodities and the maintenance of ecological values. The Commission recommends the creation of an independent sustained yield unit on the western Olympic Peninsula. The Commission recommends that 15,000 acres of mature, natural stands identified by wildlife biologists as most critical for spotted owls be deferred from harvest for fifteen years to allow experience to be gained from management and research that will lead to wise future decisions for these areas. The Commission recommends that the Washington State Department of Natural Resources take steps to ensure no individual trust is disproportionately affected by these harvest deferrals. 7 The Commission recommends that the state acquire up to 3000 acres of these special lands on the western Olympic Peninsula to be permanently reserved from timber production. Up to 500 acres may be lands currently intended for harvest. The Commission recommends that Washington State undertake a comprehensive economic study and provide improved economic development resources for the western Olympic Peninsula. The Commission recommends that the Board of Natural Resources create an advisory committee, including the range of interests present on the Commission itself. 8 Clinton Presidential Records Digital Records Marker This is not a presidential record.

C4 LENGTH: 3042 words HEADLINE: THE SEATTLE TIMES ASKS THE CANDIDATES - PRESIDENTIAL 0 & A BODY: 1. The Boeing Co. argues that its main competitor, the European consortium Airbus, enjoys unfair government subsidies. Do you agree? BUSH: Declined to answer. (According to the Bush/Quayle '92 staff, which prepared the president's responses to the survey, not all questions were answered because: The staff is dealing with a huge number of requests for information from the media nationwide; some policies are in flux; and time constraints made it impossible to secure necessary approval from agencies and the White House.) BROWN: Yes, and our government should fight to equalize the playing field with fairer trade laws and policies and an industrial strategy. We need to give the same kind of governmental support to civilian technology that we have given to defense industries. That means shifting our national priorities from obsolete defense projects to new energy technology, B-2 bullet trains, other important civilian goals. Obviously, a company like Boeing, with its resources, technical expertise and skilled workers, could play a major role in a restructured peacetime economy. CLINTON: We must have a national strategy to help America and companies like Boeing compete and win in the global economy. That is why our New Covenant for America's Future must include a new trade policy that says to Europe, Japan and our other trading partners: We favor an open trading system, but if you won't play by those rules, we'll play by yours. I will initiate a vigorous program to control health-care costs. That will help industry and Boeing dramatically. I will change the tax laws in this country to give industry more incentives to invest in our jobs, in our goods and in this country. Finally, I will revoke incentives that exist in the American R=98% 01-28-93 04:28PM P019 #34 1-28-93 4:16 PM ; 2191220:#20/25 tax code that actually encourage people to move their plants overseas. 2. Do you support or oppose the export of raw logs from public forests? From private forests? BUSH: Declined to answer BROWN: Exporting raw logs is not an economically or ecologically sound way to operate. Exporting finished lumber products would create a more diversified industry. A more diversified industry would both create jobs and encourage conservation, since the lumber business would not depend so heavily on sheer numbers of timber cut to produce profits. In Northern California and Oregon, the rate of clear-cutting has been dramatically increased to meet the interest payments on a leveraged buy-out of a lumber company. This is indefensible. If we don't protect the long-term viability of our forests, there won't be a timber industry to provide jobs for anyone. CLINTON: Over the years I have learned something that George Bush and his advisers still don't understand; namely, that economic growth and environmental protection go hand-in-hand. We simply cannot have a healthy economy without a healthy environment. The fact is excellently demonstrated by the raw-log export issue. We now know that unrestricted exports of raw logs has hurt both our environment and our economy. The long-term solution to this problem is to improve the competitiveness of our timber-manufacturing industry. This will require greater investment, improved education and technological advances in this industry. The White House should help foster this long-term solution, rather than neglecting the problem as it has over the last 12 years. 3. Would you sign legislation re-authorizing the federal Endangered Species Act in its present form? BUSH: Americans demand careful stewardship of our natural environment, and R=98% 01-28-93 04:28PM P020 #34 1-28-93 4:16 PM ; 2191220 #21/25 none of us wishes to contribute to the extinction of a species. The Endangered Species Act is a strong expression of that concern. But Americans have also built a strong and dynamic economy based on the use of our vast and bountiful resources. We must allow that economy to grow and expand in an environmentally sensitive manner, without facing constant crisis and stalemate. I support the approach of groups like the Nature Conservancy, which bring together opposing interests to find ways to balance the needs of humans and nature. BROWN: Although the current Endangered Species Act is far from ideal, it should be re-authorized as quickly as possible to insure protection of those species now listed as endangered or threatened. From that point, we must develop and pass legislation that would streamline the cumbersome procedure of determining and listing threatened species. At present, the process is so time-consuming that vital habitats are often lost. An endangered ecosystem act should be considered to supplement the single-species preservation. Protecting biodiversity is not a luxury to be sacrificed to short-term economic interests; it is a matter of global survival. CLINTON: Yes, I would sign legislation re-authorizing the federal Endangered Species Act. I feel that it is our responsibility to preserve a diverse variety of animal and mammal species for future generations. I believe listing decisions for species under the Endangered Species Act should be based on the biological status of a species. Science should be the sole criterion in determining whether a species should be listed as endangered. However, I support changing fees structures in federal parks and natural areas and then using that money to support the economic base of the local economies adversely affected by such protections. 4. Do you think hydroelectric production on the Columbia River should be reduced to save salmon runs, some of which have been declared endangered? Would you authorize federal compensation for business people who may suffer financially by recovery efforts? R=98% 01-28-93 04:28PM P021 #34 1-28-93 4:16 PM ; 2191220 #22/25 BUSH: Declined to answer BROWN: These steps and their economic impact must be evaluated carefully. We should look at the pilot studies currently under way to see what can be done to protect the salmon while providing the electric power necessary to the Northwest. CLINTON: For both economic and environmental reasons, the Columbia River salmon runs and the river itself must be protected and restored. Preserving the salmon runs is about more than simply saving fish. It is also about restoring overall environmental health to the Columbia River. Economically, failing to protect these salmon runs today will destroy forever the valuable commercial and recreational fishing industries that depend on the river. As with many issues, we can pay a little now, or a lot later. Investing in the river's future requires that all activity impacting the river be re-evaluated to ensure the river's long-term economic and environmental viability. Increasing our energy conservation efforts is one aspect of the solution. In addition, agriculture must also make more efficient use of water from the river, and barge traffic must move more efficiently. 5. The Pacific Northwest has developed a long-term energy strategy that emphasizes conservation. Current national energy policy is based on expanding oil, coal and nuclear energy sources. Should national policy be in line with regional policies? BUSH: A common feature of every new energy technology the administration has asked Congress to fund in the National Energy Strategy is the potential each holds to more efficiently transform raw materials into the energy supplies we need. Renewable energy sources can contribute to a growing economy without degrading our environment. My energy program promotes the development of renewable resources, and it also provides funding for clean coal technologies and other programs which will reduce the effect on the environment of existing energy technologies. BROWN: The difference exists because powerful special interest, such as oil companies, have bought and paid for our elected officials on a national level.

As you know, governor, environmental issues are really some of the touchiest in our region. Job cute have been hitting hard all over the Northwest, especially in Portland, and that's where we would like to go now for our next question. Portland? Go shead. CHARLIE JANZ: Governor, my name is Charlis Jans. I lost my logging company because of the Endangered Species Act. I understand you're not in favor of amending It. The act puts the rights of bugs and plants ahoad of people. You say you want to put people first. I want you to tall me tonight what is more important: a spotted owl, or people like mar (Studio audience applauds.) GOV BILL CLINTON: People like you, but I don't think that's the real choice. I live in a state. let's talk about this a little bit. I agree with your congressman. Les AuCoin, who said that the real choice is jobs now and jobs later, not just jobs versus the environment. And most of the old growth forest has been out. Technology... the huge export of raw logs to the far east, and cutting more than has been replanted. and having s government which subsidizes exports and doesn't subsidize re-tooling mills to take second growth forest. all these things have contributed to the situation we're in today. And I might add that because there was no attempt to work this out in a reasonable compromise over the last five years, you've got all these timber tracts tied up in court, where some logging could occur. I would attempt to fashion - and I believe this can be done without an amendment to the Endangered Species Act: there in An 1 escape hatch in the act as it's written now - I would attempt to fashion & compromise based on real forest health and science that would permit reasonable logging, preserve & significant percentage of the old growth forest, accelerate replanting, accelerate modification of mills. and try to diversify the economies of the ares.

BILL CLINTON (CONT): We could put everybody back to work tomorrow if you cut all the trees, and then nobody would have any jobs as soon as they were done. I think what we want to do is to plan for the long run-and save as many jobs as possible. and do It over & long run. I've been very impressed with the work that Congressman AuCoin has tried to do, and any number of others who have tried to balance the needs of the environment and jobs. And we're facing the same thing in our state, although not as severely. because we don't have endangered species. But we've got a whole lot of national forest land, some of which can be clear-cut and some which can't. HOST JEFF GIANOLA: Governor, we have a follow-up question from another guest here in Portland CLINTON: I am very sympathetic to the people who have lost their jobs, but I think that to say that it's all because of the spotted owl, I think, is an overstatement. And I think what we've got to do is to try to make the forest an economic resource for the states of the Pacific Northwest as long as possible, and to preserve the remaining old growth forest as much as is possible. HOST KATHY GOERTZEN: We have one more question in Portland. Go ahead. please. TIMBER INDUSTRY WORKER: Governor, 1 work in the timber industry. My union supports a balanced solution to the crisis between jobs and the environment. Would you be willing to sit down and talk with my union to get a better understanding of how this crisis affects us? CLINTON: Absolutely, I would. As I said, the thing that has really bothered me about this whole deal is how, looking over the last four or five years, how the parties have gotten off in armed camps, and it's been like trains running at & steel wall, just waiting for the crash to occur. And now the whole thing's been thrown into the courts, and all these timber tracts are basically immune from any sert of activity because they're tied up in the courts. If I were president, let me say, I would be personally involved in trying to get all the parties together to try to work out a solution that was based on good forest health and forest management, recent regard for the biodiversity of the area, and the fact that you don't want the entire old srowth forest to disappear, and a real plan for aggressive reforestation and economic diversification. I think there to no single, simple answer, and I don't think there is 1 simple answer to this that's fair to everybody. And I'd be more than happy to sit down and meet with you folks when I come to Oregon, which won't be long. (Studio audience applause.)

Thank you. Thank you. Wow. Thank you very much. Thank you, Governor. Thank you Mr. Grife. Thank you Les AuCoin. I hope you'll be in the Senate and I'll be in the White House in January. Four more months. That's a good sign. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, I am delighted to be back in Oregon. This is a wonderful, not only large, but enthusiastic crowd and I can say this, of all the things that have ever been thrown at me, roses are the best. Thank you. We are facing this election, a profound choice. One of the few things, with which, I agree with the President is that this is a big election with a big election with a big choice between two people with different philosophies; different approaches and I might add, different records. It is amazing to me that after 804 days of denying that a recession exists. Here, fifty days before the election, my opponent has discovered a plan for America's renewal. After four years of inaction in the economy, on everything from the log jam over economic issues on the Pacific Northwest of the timber industry to the first decline in industrial production in America's history. To the loss of 1.3 million manufacturing jobs and the fact that today, there has literally been a net decline in private sector jobs, under the Bush presidency, all of a sudden they are agreeing, to use their words, "to target America." Thanks a lot. I say to you, my fellow Americans, whatever you do for a living, you can just look at the record of trickle-down economics. We tried it for a dozen years, their idea, that all you have to do is to keep taxes low on the wealthiest Americans and get out of the way and everything else will be fine.

Arkansas-72203 Telephone (501) 372-1992 FAX (501) 372-2292 Paid for by the Clinton/Gore '92 Committee 01-28-93 04:28PM P004 #34- In 1980, we had the highest wages in the world, now we're down to thirteenth and dropping. Is that in support or opposition? We've had a dozen years now that most Americans are literally working longer for less money than they were making when the Reagan-Bush-Quayle Regime was brought into power. And most people in Oregon are working harder for less money. Most people in Arkansas are and most people in the United States are. Its just not an unemployment problem in this country. There's a problem of people working harder for less and paying more for health care, for housing, for education. And the middle class is paying more for taxes, while upper income people are paying less. Our competitors in Germany and Japan and in the rest of Europe and the rest of Asia, many of them are going far, faster than we are. Why aren't we doing better? George Bush. Trickle-down. That's what is the problem. And what we have to decide today is what we're going to do about it. You know what they want you to do about it. They want you to give them for more years. They say just give us for more years, it'll be different. They say they've got new ideas. But today the Journal of Commerce said it's just a warmed over version of the things they've been trying but haven't worked. And I'm telling you, we can do better. This country did not become the greatest country in the world by denying our problems and dividing our people. We did not become a beacon of hope for the rest of the world by being weak at home and by sapping our economic strength and dividing ourselves over the most fundamental issues. Did you see what they did at their convention? They spent the first two nights attacking my wife? Their party chairman said that we weren't real Americans. You and I know that won't change this country. They accused us of not having real familles. One of them even said we ought to have a "religious war" in this country. They will do anything to stay in power but make you better off. That's what I think the purpose of political life is to enable everybody to move forward together. And that's what I want to do. Let me tell you, we have a plan. AI Gore and I have a plan to put the American people first and bring the American economy back. It is a plan rooted in the realities 01-28-93 04:28PM P005 #34 of global economic competition, a plan deeply rooted in my experience as a governor working for a dozen years on the receiving end of the Reagan-Bush-Quayle revolution. It is a plan that recognizes that trickle-down economics do not work and that we cannot permit ourselves to ratify for four more years. We have to go forward with an approach that says what works Is to invest and educate and take care of health care problems and put people together in partnerships so we can lift our human potential. You know, this plan would say, for example:we would ask the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more because their taxes were cut while middle class taxes were raised for the last twelve years. But we'll also give people and companies more incentives. Incentives to reinvest in this country...in our jobs and our plants and our equipment and our businesses. If you just take one aspect of this extremely complicated timber situation in the Pacific Northwest, consider this: we spend a hundred million dollars of tax dollars a year subsidizing the export of raw logs. But this administration has opposed spending a hundred million dollars to give people incentives to modify the mills; to use second growth timber; to provide value added industries to use the logs here in America -- to provide retraining for workers in the Pacific Northwest - to start new industries. They have been against all of that. They have been against investing in our people and our future. We've got to invest. The second thing we've got to do is to recognize that the world we're living in will require the average young person to change work at least eight times in a lifetime. We cannot afford to have anything less than the best system of educating and training our people in the world. And that means a lot of things to me. But among other things, it means that every person who gets out of high school who doesn't go at on to a college, should have access to at least two years to a community college or in some other apprenticeship training program to get a good job, not a dead end job. It means when national policies force people to lose jobs, they have a right to intensive retraining to find new jobs and new economic opportunities in the economy tomorrow. It means that we should open the doors of college education to all Americans. It means that everybody under our plan will be able to borrow the money to finance a college education and pay it back in one of two ways--either as a small percentage of their income over time, or even better, by working for two years for 01-28-93 04:28PM P006 #34 01-04-1993 20:12 703 693 9817 DOD TRANSITION TEAM P.02 Clinton Gore Remarks by Governor Bill Clinton A Conversation with Timber Family Workers Portland, OR September 14, 1992 Worker: Due to the low housing starts in 1990, 1991 that kept the prices from getting critical because there is always a backing of federal sales that the mills have. Now, they're running out. So, when it does hit and when all this lumber is needed now, prices will be out of reach for people who want to build houses, like our friends in Florida and the rest of the nation. But, I think, in my mind you might be getting to automation. Governor Clinton: How much does that have to do with it? Worker: I would like to talk about automation. I started, like I said, thirty-two years ago, full time. When I started they burnt up the bark and the edgings, where the boards go through the edger and created pollution, of course, smoke, wig-worm edgers. When the logs go through the barker, now, the bark goes through the power house to provide power for the whole mill, plus we sell to the power company. The sawdust goes Into another whole plant that's created by automation, particle board is made down there...chips, of course, into pulp. We are getting, probably forty percent, out of a log now than we did when I first started. This is automation. Without automation you can't compete in any business. I'm sure you people know that as well as I do. So, automation hasn't played the big role that a lot of people would like for you to believe. Although, It has cut some jobs In some areas. You gain jobs and higher tech jobs in other areas and whole new plants. Someone mentioned. Was It Maxie working in a [blue lamp]?

They have gone in specializing In specialty things they use in [fell] through lumber yards-sixty foot, seventy foot, where they can just go, If you want to buy a piece, you just out It off with a chain saw. They have done well in that area. The plywood plant, they specialized for several years in quarter Inch AB plywood, which they became a major manufacturer in the nation, out there. And they are doing some other plywood now. The green and the can peel eight, nine or ten foot logs. And they're putting, almost a million dollars Into their grave system this winter. This company has modernized, over the fifty years they have been in business and kept going. They've been a good citizen, there in Springfield. And they have treated their people pretty good, too. I really enjoyed working there. I was among a good company and good people. So..... Worker: We got an Interesting range of folks here. I mean, to see, Ed, sort of on the edge. You've made the transition. Trace and [Darrell] struggling. Max has got a good lifetime out of it. I guess. They're a couple of things. I would like to explore. I would like to explore a little bit of your problem. You've got a problem because you got a problem talking to Ed with the fact that we can't get you into the program soon enough. You're patient. That's good. But we want to get you In. And we want to examine that. Frank, you're talking a little bit about the problem getting your business up and going. What do you....? Frank: I have...I need to get a small business loan. And I found that's a lot harder than it is than what I was told. (inaudible...) They told me if I wanted to take small business classes....So, I paid and took the classes and found out there isn't much of a chance In getting a loan. Governor Clinton: Why did they tell you that? Why did they tell you that there wasn't much of a chance in getting a loan? Frank: They told me money Is hard to come by is what they told me. And It is hard to come by.

Its been growing. It kind of grows in waves. One week, you don't get too much. Then the week you do, It's more business than you can handle. So, I think It's just going to take time, especially educating the public on plastic things that can be repaired now, you know, like, motorcycle fenders and four-wheel fenders, [Harvey] plastic holding tanks; and this really would be good boogie boards, just about anything you could think of, you know. Worker: No ads here, Frank. Governor Clinton: Let me ask you something. Now, that you're out of this industry, but you know It's still Important to families in Oregon and Washington and throughout the country. What are your general feelings about what we ought to do? You know, you have to have....The federal government owns so much of this land. And right now, because there has been no resolution of it for thirty-three of the last forty-eight months all the federal timber sales have been tied up in court. So, you've got the worst of all. In other words, you've got a situation. now that's worse than what anybody proposes to be done. In other words, you take the worst, from the point of view the most protective plan of the (oak groove forest), you know from the point of view of the forest and the owls. You're worse off now, than that because all these sales are all tied up In court. So, since you're out of it and you're looking back on it, you're thinking ahead, you know what this state ought to like, ten years from now, twenty years from now. Just generally, If you're giving advice to Peter and to me about what kind of policies we ought to try to pursue, what would you say? Worker: Well, I think they just need to create more jobs. I really don't know how to go about It other than what I'm now doing. I'm doing my best to..... If this business of mine takes off, maybe I can put some people to work on this. You know, I was born and raised here and I have a lot of friends here and I made a lot of friends in school and I really do care about them very much and I care about Oregon a lot--the beauty of the country. I don't like clear cutting but I like jobs and I guess it's going to be up to you to come up with a solution. I sure hope we can work something out where we can all have a job... A good paying job, not five dollars an hour. I mean, something we can support our families. The way It works now, It takes the man and wife both to work to make ten dollars an hour.

Like, at my age, I shouldn't have to be....l've put in a lot of hard time work, already. I shouldn't have to start all over again. But It's been very beneficial to me. As far as coming up with a solution Worker: I would like to comment on that, If I might. When you're elected President, I would like you to possibly start your [timbersome] early, so when Congress comes back in January, we can go full steam aheed on this. There is legislation that has been drafted by labor and Mr. [Defozeo] is a co-sponsor. In the House, its a Forest and Protection Act, twenty-four sixty-three. And in the Senate, It's Federal Lands and Family Protection Act, eleven fifty-six. As you noticed in both bills, It's family and forest. And this legislation would create balance. It would set aside more land for the owls. It would open up logging so we could have a sustainable level of logging. And I do mean sustain level because we do know that we have to have a sustained level. It's federal law. And I do honestly believe that these two bills-well, It's one bill, in the House and Senate, would give us the relief we do honestly need and would give us the environment that we have to have. Some people have portrayed us throughout the nation as being environmentally poor people drones of the timber industry and things of this nature. We're environmentalists. We're all environmentalists, here. But we are for sound environmental practices. I think we've gone through so much extreme--that Its gone through such a political football and we're the ones getting kicked that I don't know exactly what you can do to get this started, unless you can help get some of these bills through. Governor Clinton: I've got some ideas. We have some people from the national, as well as the local press here. And since we do, I think it might be helpful if maybe, Peter....Could you just take two minutes to summarize what the bill does? Peter: Well, there's a large number of bills pending before the Congress. [Darrell] referred to one I've written on my own, which...you now...(Insudible) But there are a lot of factors In common. One Is, you set aside some additional old groves, as you all admitted needs to be done to protect owls and a whole lot of associated values. We're beginning to see problems--fishery and our salmon. So we set aside additional areas. We changed our management practices on a large portion of the remaining land. But the key is we're going to manage in those other areas. And so, you've got your R=95% 703 693 9817 01-04-93 08:12PM P005 #11 01-04-1993 20:14 703 693 9817 DOD TRANSITION TEAM P.06 reserves. You've got managed areas. And they are going to be managed differently and more sensibly than in the past. And the other components of the bill are:, there is a very strong component, which In fact, I sat down and worked with a lot of my friends In labor on, for--we're admitting that there is going to be displacement. There has already been and there's going to be more to get full funding and to get a really robust system and retraining program going. We've got provisions In the bill to give us some assurance of revenues for our county because we're so dependent as you pointed out, Governor. You're well versed In this. More than half our land is owned by the federal government. We can't tax it in any other way. If we don't get some return or some revenue sharing from the federal government since revenue sharing has gone away, we're in deep trouble with our schools and roads. So, and finally, I think there's a final point In all the bills. These are in common In all the bills. There's a difference over how much to set aside. Obviously, there's differences over each of these points. But these are different in each of these bills. But the final point is that none of us is exactly sure what the solution is including the scientists who have reviewed this. And what they are suggesting is this would be an Interim program while we go farther with an Impartial scientific study and set long term management goals and guidelines and revise all of our forest and Interior (Inaudible...)Implants. These things are in common In all the bills. And if we could just move toward our commonalities instead of the divisions, we would be getting somewhere. Worker: You know, Governor Clinton, I think, what the people of the Northwest are after Is we need a balance because we have to...in order to make sense In harvesting timbers so that we can replant and regrow for future homes for our children and our grandchildren. It's really difficult, when every time we turn around, there's someone trying to stop us from logging. And we're all being cheated. Not just here In the Northwest, but it's raising the prices on everybody's houses from coast to coast. With a balance, which what this twenty- four sixty three does for us. Everybody can get along with their lives and feel more secure about what tomorrow is going to be. Worker: Isn't that where the key is [Tracey]? I think [Darrell] Is one of the guys said to me coming out of the mill one day, Is that we need some certainty here. We know things are going to change. We know harvest levels are going to come down but we need R=95% 703 693 9817 01-04-93 08:12PM P006 #11 01-04-1993 20:14 703 693 9817 DOD TRANSITION TEAM P.07 to know where they are headed; where they are going to be and we need some certainty and we need a little bit of help. I mean, that's what I'm hearing from [Teresa]. Clinton: Let me just point out what I think the president's role ought to be in all of this. I think because, the reason I thought we ought to have a summit after the election and come up here and get all the parties to sit down is that I think right now we've got the worst of all worlds. You've got all the timber sales that have been tied up In court for thirty-three months. That is the worst of all worlds. You can't get any worse than that. No matter what your perspective is that's wrong. That's not good for the environment. And its terrible for the economy. And It's not right. The second thing that I have noticed Is that this is a president's job. Nobody else can do this job. But there has been widespread disagreement among the federal agencies. You've got the Fish and Wildlife Service. You've got the Bureau of Land Management. You've got the Interior Department. Who else is Involved? Peter: Forest Service. (inaudible) Clinton: Agriculture, EPA. The national government ought to have a position. They shouldn't be virtually suing one another. Everybody's working In the same government. That's another thing. You're entitled to know that there is a coherent, consistent position from the national government about how these lands are going to be handled. And then, I think, I won't take credit for this phrase because I got it from Peter, but I want to go back to something you said. I think that our policy ought to be no net loss of jobs. That is, In the last three and half years, forty-six thousand jobs have been lost in the Pacific Northwest. If you take the second plan that came out of the so called "God-Squad" that came out of the [Luohong] Plan, they say it will be another seventeen thousand jobs. So, the Issue is not so much will some jobs be lost. Yes, they will. The Issue, It seems to me, let's look at where we are with the forest. We can't do anything about what wasn't planted ten, twenty or thirty years ago that might should have been planted. We can't go back and redo history. And figure out what is the right thing to do for a long term sustainable forest so that you can keep people working at a steady level. And preserve the necessary diversity to guarantee you a healthy forest to do the things everybody wants over the long run. R=95% 703 693 9817 01-04-93 08:12PM P007 #11 01-04-1993 20:15 703 693 9817 DOD TRANSITION TEAM P.08 And when we figure that out, we ought to Invest whatever It takes to try to recreate the economy here around that core decision. And let me just give you two or three examples. If you set aside some land, a lot of that is going to need to be restored. That will create jobs if you hire people to do It and train them properly. It's my understanding, this is something that's foreign to me because this is not an Issue I face at home that a lot of the sawmills in this state and In Washington are not geared to cut second growth forest trees. They just are basically structured for the oak groove forest. We spend a hundred million dollars a year more or less in subsidizing the exports of raw logs out of the Pacific Northwest. And If we spent half of that, just think of It, giving Investment tax credits to mills to retool; to the timber companies to add value to product here in America to put even more people to work In the diversity that you were talking about; to provide for full funding of the worker retraining program so that people like you would not be told there's a waiting list. If national policy puts you out of a job, national policy ought to put you back in one, that's my theory. In other words, if we make a decision that we simply can't sustain 1980 level yields but we want a constant yield so everybody can predict It. Then, we ought to have a reinvestment policy in you that guarantees you that. And then there ought to be some access to capital for people who start small business. These are the kinds of things that seems to me that would bring some stability and predictability back Into people lives. The one thing I can't promise you to do. I can't promise to make things the way they once were. We're not going back to that. We're living in a world where the average eighteen year old is going to change the nature of jobs eight times in a lifetime, even If they stay with the same company, because of the diversity. But what's happened because we haven't thought this through, not just In timber, but the economy generally, must Americans are working harder today for less money than they were ten years ago. Almost all the growth In wealth In America in the 1980s was from a second person in the home going to work or from people working longer hours. And we simply can't continue on this path, where we let people stay out of work, six, eight months. When they do get a job, they are making five or six bucks an hour where once they made fifteen. That's what I want to turn around. I guess, what I'm telling you, the reason I called for this summit on the forest Issue up here is that I think we're going to have to decide what the national government position is between all these different bureaucracies. We've got to get the timber that R=95% 703 693 9817 01-04-93 08:12PM P008 #11 01-04-1993 20:15 703 693 9817 DOD TRANSITION TEAM P.09 ought to be out out of court. We've got to get this issue out of court. And it's not Just the endangered species act there all kinds of other acts. The national law..., Peter and I were talking about the national law that governs over all matters of the forest is more responsible than the Endangered Species Act for tying a lot of these tracks up. And then we've got to have a no net job loss policy. It's going to say If we lose Jobs In the mills, we lose jobs In the woods, we're going to put people back to work either rebullding the forest or in Incentives to retool the mills or adding value to the timber here at home or training them fully and completely to go back to work. And in the meantime, we're going to have to take Into account the cost of money to state and local government in the school districts. Because, all of this again, I would say, is a product of national policy. When the national government does something to you there ought to be some obligation on the national government to have a no net loss of jobs to let people make a living and go on. So, that's just a general outline kind of where I think we ought to go. I don't think that the way this thing has been presented here's the Jobs versus the owls. Then, If that's the dllemma, no one would ever win that argument. In other words, we can cut out every tree, If you want to. You could clear the whole forest in five years and put everybody to work. You would have a negative unemployment rate in Oregon. And then, you'll be back, worse off than you were in the beginning. So, what we have to do is make the best decision we can about what a sustainable yield is. What Is a reasonable sustainable yield that preserves the genuine forest help. And B really want to take It out of this political Impasse. I mean, I hate this. This has been bad for everybody, what's been going on in the last three and a half years. We ought to take the best scientific data we have for what constitutes overall forest help In the sustainable yield. Go after it. Pursue it. Put the people back to work in the forest and in the mills that are going to be able to get there once you get this out of court. And do something with all the other communities and all the other people to help them go forward. But I do think there is a part of money there that Congress has. And I know it's somewhat controversial. But, this is what we spent...a hundred million dollars a year subsidizing exports of raw logs and we ought to take a good chunk of that and subsidize the people living In Northwest. Get them in a position to add value to those logs here or to modify the mills or to do some other work. That's what I think. Peter: I've already got the bill drafted. R=95% 703 693 9817 01-04-93 08:12PM P009 #11 01-04-1993 20:16 703 693 9817 DOD TRANSITION TEAM P.10 Worker: Could I respond to some of your statements, governor? Clinton: Yeah. Worker: It's true there has been logs exported in the past off of federal state lands in Oregon and there's some being exported off of state lands in Washington, which of course, finance some of their schools. I believe twenty-five percent. And this Is fine. As a worker, I certainly, don't want raw logs, even off of private lands to be exported. But we must realize that most of the logs being exported now, all of them in Oregon are off of private lands. And Peter has been trying to come up with something palatable so that we don't say you can not do this. Everybody always looks at the big companies that export. But sometimes we don't realize, like in Oregon, there are twenty-five thousand small wood lot owners. So, If we can keep the logs here, It's going to be fine. And one thing, this problem is already starting to dissolve Itself because the cost of timber is so high. Even our company has bought some logs that we've earmarked for export of that were private logs. But one thing that's also happening now, Is that private companies' timber is being tied up so severely. Our company, the company I work for was buying from Weyehouser, now they don't have enough logs to supply us because they have to use what they have which is about half, from what I understand that isn't tied up with owls to supply their own mills, the ones they have left. Worker: I taught retooling retooling we have. The Industry, the ones that haven't aren't running. We've got a small log mill capable of producing hundreds of thousands of board (inaudible...) per day. It's down. We're cutting medium size logs. And we have been cutting second groove timber for years and years and years. We out well over fifty percent, well, higher than that, of second groove timber. There has been a lot of replanting. People don't realize this, across the nation, they think that once It's cut, it's done and gone and there you go. And we know In Arkansas, there Isn't any oak groove. Correct me if I'm wrong. And you're fighting the red headed woodpecker or something back there. But we are retooling. We're getting more out of the logs. I think the question being is how much land do we really have to lock up. The more you lock up, the harder It R=95% 703 693 9817 01-04-93 08:12PM P010 #11 01-04-1993 20:16 703 693 9817 DOD TRANSITION TEAM P.11 Is to sustain any kind of a cut. Peter go ahead, I'm sorry. Peter: Just two points. The governor, he is a real quick study. He's on to something that most people around the nation don't even know about. The hundred million he's talking about is a subsidy that comes through the tax system to actually encourage the export of logs. We have a tax code, now, that actually... Clinton: I'm not stopping people from doing it. My question is If It's their land, they ought to have the right to sell their logs to whomever wants to buy It. I'm against any kind of....I'm not talking about that. There is a federal program, an actual tax subsidy for the exports of (inaudible...) The point I'm trying to make is that it goes to the private landowners on the private land. The point I'm trying to make is If we're doing that, shouldn't we now look at spending some of that tax subsidy to help them modernize and diversify and add to the value of logs here at home? Shouldn't we subsidize different behavior that will maintain the job base better? That's the only thing I'm saying. I think it's their trees. If they want to sell their own trees, they ought to be able to. Worker: This is pretty recent information. Clinton: And it's interesting. Because I'm basically a big supporter of export programs. My state couldn't survive without the farm export programs. And I don't think there was any evil intent behind this program. I think it was a good thing to help America export It's natural resources. But since we're spending so much on this now; and the point I'm trying to make Is If we divert some of this money to help to rebuild a new and different and more labor Intensive, value added timber economy in the Pacific Northwest, it might be a better expenditure of the taxpayer dollar. Or if we diverted some of It to help make sure this man doesn't have to wait too long to get retrained. See, everybody else loses If you're ought of work for a year. It costs everybody else money. Worker: You can't pay your taxes If you're not making a living. Governor, I really, on behalf of the people of the fourth district of Oregon and the R=95% 703 693 9817 01-04-93 08:12PM P011 #11 01-04-1993 20:17 703 693 9817 DOD TRANSITION TEAM P.12 small representative group we've got today that has come from the Industries that's Impacted. 1 want to thank you for taking time In the middle of a very tough campaign to sit down with us; sit down with me on the plane and to hear a blt and also fulfill that promise you made during the Townhall. I try to fulfill all the promises I make during the Townhall, too. Sometimes, you get a little bit over subscribed. I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to come today and I think it's significant. Clinton: I just want to say, first of all, I want to thank you. I've learned a lot, just listening to your stories. And they're important. And again, just let me say, if I win this race in fifty odd days, I am determined to break this log jam. You are entitled, at least to have all these settled government agencies on the same side to have a coherent policy and have a commitment to your region and to the people here that resolves this In a fair and balanced way. I think we can do it. And all 1 can tell you is this is not just an election year deal with me. Maybe because I've been a governor. I couldn't let anything fester this long and survive. I couldn't do my business this way. And so, we can all argue around the edges of this problem on how much you set aside and how much you this But what we desperately need is a resolution of It. Oregon needs it. Washington needs it. The whole Pacific Northwest needs it. And I can assure you, I will remember what you all said to me. I won't forget. And thank you, host, thank you. Did you plant this tree? And this one you planted? It looks nice to me. Thank you very much.

Thank you very, very much. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm glad to be back in lowa again. When I say things like, George Bush, squeal like a pig under a gate, people know what I'm talking about here. When I say I'm happier than a hog in slop, nobody thinks I'm being crude. And when I tell you I'm going to give you your country back, I hope you can believe me. You know, I always love coming to lowa, I always have. I'm proud to be here with the kind of people that you put up and the kind of people you're going to elect. I'm going to have to ask you, please, please elect Elaine Baxter and Jean Lloyd Jones. We need them In Congress and we've got a lot of work to do. You know, I kind of like Jean's speeches. If I were Grassley, I'd be careful what bills I Introduced from now on. You want to know the saddest thing about-1 mean, I'm going to give her her next line for that speech. She said Charles Grassley introduced four different times a bill to declare a day to remind us about osteoporosis, and he did it in four different years. You know what the really sad thing is? George Bush vetoed a bill this year to do something about osteoporosis, and that's the difference. They talk about it, but they never do anything about it. You name it, whatever it is. They're out there making these arguments this year that we just ought to vote for him because what he says sounds right. Reminds me about that sign on the old country road: George Jones, veterlnarian, taxidermist. Either way, you get your dog back. National Campaign Headquarters P.O.

Family Values Equals Family Leave. Pork Producers for Clinton. There's a lot of good signs out here. You know, a woman stopped me on the way up here and she said, I have not voted in 20 years, but I don't like what's happening to my country and I'm going to vote for you and AI Gore this time, my first vote In 20 years. I want to thank all the veterans' leaders who are here who met me up there--look at them standing there, who are going to vote for us and our ticket this year. And I want to say a special word about this ERA because, you know, Pat Robertson wrote a letter about this. You know Pat Robertson. He also wrote the Republican platform. And old Pat--you know, Pat Robertson and Pat Buchanan and Jerry Falwell basically wrote the Republican platform, spent the first two nights up there in Houston running against my wife. I wanted to send Bush a letter and suggest that he just go on and file for first lady If that's what he felt the election was about. But I can tell you one thing. If he thinks he can win an argument with her, he's got another thing coming. I've been trying for 20 years. Anyway, old Pat Robertson sent a letter around, you know, about the time he was writing the Republican platform and said that everybody who's for that ERA was trying to break up families, destroy children and practice witchcraft. And that's about the way they think. They've gotten away with calling names so long, they've forgotten what it's like to have to contest over real issues. And I want to talk to you today about some real Issues in rural America and the rest of America. Before I do, I've got to say one thing, though. You know, Tom Harkin was too delicate to mention it, but I think this is where he declared for president a year ago. And he like to beat my brains out a time or two in that race. But you know something? I want to read you something that your senator said. I like to make fun of, you know, Tom gets up here and tells these 2 1-28-93 4:16 PM ; 2191220;# 9/25 stories. Every time you hear him talk, you're convinced he was born in a log cabin he built himself. But anyway I want to read this to you. Now, this is not joke--listen to this. After the New Hampshire primary, Tom Harkin said--and I quote: "Success or failure in politics or life isn't tested by whether you stumble a little on your way to your goal-everyone does. The test is, do you get up? The test Is, how do you get up?" Well, my friends, when this primary process was over and I had somehow managed to survive, the thing that I admired the most I think was the way Tom Harkin got up. He got up fighting for agriculture and jobs and health care and research in new areas of high technology to solve problems and create high-wage jobs, just like he fought to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act. More than any other participant in the primary process, as soon as he was no longer in it, he remembered his pledge to do what he could to get George Bush out of the White House and he campaigned for me all across this country. He said over and over and over again: I got into this race, not just to win an election. And as we come down to the last 37 days of what has been a long and hard-fought campaign, I feel better knowing that I'm going to have Tom Harkin fighting with me all the way to the White House and beyond November to change this country and make it a better place. Make no mistake about it, this election Is about whether we as a nation are really going to start fighting again, are really going to have the courage to change again. It's about whether we'll do less talk about our problems and make more progress towards solving them. It's about whether we're going to step up to the bat as generations before US have always done and make tomorrow better than today. Last night in Washington, D.C., I attended a dinner for the Congressional Black Caucus, and I went over to shake hands with Magic Johnson, a man I admire very much, who said he resigned from the presidential AIDS Commission because the president had dropped the ball. My fellow Americans, I may not make every decision right, I'll sure make some mistakes, but if you elect me on November 3rd, I will not drop the ball. Mr. Bush and Mr. Quayle have given us a program that promises no change, a program that is a rehash of the same failed trickle-down economics of the 3 01-28-93 04:28PM P009 #34 1-28-93 4:16 PM #10/25 last 12 years. It's even hard to know whether they mean that or not, because in Time magazine just a few days ago a top administration official was quoted as saying "It doesn't much matter what's in our plan because we don't plan to follow through on it anyway." We are tired of four years of cynical manipulation at election time of our feelings, of rhetoric that divides us and diverts our attention. The time has come to fight for real change for you and for all the people of this country. One of the things that I have learned as I've gone across this great land of ours, which now has 150 different racial and ethnic groups in it, as I've taken my bus trips to the red clay of south Georgia, where I met a 77-year-old woman who's going to vote for the first time in her life for our ticket, or through Inner city areas in Cleveland, Ohio, and East St. Louis, or way up to the Pacific Northwest, I have learned that we're all still pretty much the same. We're a lot more like one another than we think we are. Almost all of us get up every day and go to work and do our best; we want our parents to be cared for in their old age; we want our children to have a brighter future. We don't want anybody to give us anything, but we want partners to help lift US up, to give us a chance to make the most of our own lives. I hear it everywhere I go. And, you know, this country has been around for more than 200 years because every time we had to make fundamental change somehow we found the courage and wisdom, and maybe a little grace from God, to do it. But we did. When we became one nation from 13 colonles-that's something we take for granted now, but if you go back and read history, our written Constitution and the fact that we came together is a miracle. When we stayed together during the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln gave his life for the Union, we take it for granted now-but he was elected with only 39 percent of the vote. When we came out of the Depression and World War II, we take it for granted now, but we forget that when Roosevelt was elected president, one in four Americans were out of work. And in my little state more than half the people were below the poverty line. We forget that when Winston Churchill fought alone in World War II, Britain didn't even win a battle for two years. We take for granted all these things that have happened in our country's history, but they weren't foreordained; they happened because the American people, every time the chips were down, had the courage to change. And that Is what we are being called upon to do again today in this election. We did not become the greatest country in human history because we listened 4 01-28-93 04:28PM PO10 #34 1-28-93 4:16 PM to people who told us that things could get worse. We listened to people who told us that things could be better. I'm telling you, my running mate, AI Gore--by the way, let me ask you something. Next time you hear Bush say this election's about trust, say, well, you and Clinton have only made one decision in common, and his was AI Gore. I think he did a better job. But any way the other day Al and I were on the stump together and Gore gave a little line that I thought was good, so I'm going to repeat it now. He said, you know, here we are in America where jobs are down and the deficit is up, where Incomes are down and poverty is up, where productivity is down and all of our problems are up, and he said, you know, everything in America that ought to be up is down and everything that ought to be down is up--they've got it upside down, and we're going to turn it right side up. You know, he went on to say that at these Republican rallies when they chant out drearily "Four more years!" it sounds more like a threat than a promise. I have to tell you, you know, that Bush has spent a lot of time telling everybody I come from a small rural state. I rest my case. I went to Maine and Vermont and New Hampshire yesterday and I'm in lowa today and I'm on my way to South Dakota. I think there's a lot to be said for small rural states and the values we have and the things we do. We know that farmers and and small business people in little communities have done a lot to build this country, to feed America and the world. And unlike Mr. Bush we want your sacrifices, your values and your commitments to be acknowledged by your government not just at election time but every day. The president, you know, has discovered rural America now just in the last few weeks. He didn't understand how we needed to sell pork to Russia but he was sure glad to throw a little pork around right here before the election. I came here to tell you that in my administration farm families will be able to make a profit again selling pork and beef and corn and soybeans here and around the world. And for all of his last-minute moves, Mr. Bush can't deny what we all know: most Americans on the farm and in the factory and in businesses are working harder today for less money than they were making 10 years ago. That is a fact that he cannot deny. 5 01-28-93 04:28PM P011 #34 1-28-93 4:16 PM ; 2191220;#12/25 2191220 I got into this race for president because I wanted to see our country get moving again. I think it's time for a change away from trickle-down economics, not the change he accuses us of. We're not the tax-and-spend crowd. It's time for a new direction, to invest in our country again, in our jobs, in our incomes, in our farms and in our futures. It's time to educate and train our people and to do that Instead of just talking about it. It's time to face the deficit by cutting inessential spending, reducing defense where we can and asking the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share because their taxes have gone down while the middle class people's taxes have gone up. And it's time to say that we want the promise of America to be felt everywhere in America, not just in the places that are doing well, but in the rural areas and the Inner cities, too. Everywhere in America where people are willing to work hard and play by the rules, they ought to have a chance to find their just reward. My own state, like yours, was nearly devastated during the Reagan-Bush years of trickle-down. It started on the farms and it spread to the small towns and it spread to our cities. Our farmers and bankers and small business people had to sit down and make some tough decisions. We weren't getting any help from the national government and we knew it, but we decided to do what we could together. So I cleared away the hurdles to direct access in my office, and I went to work to change our farm foreclosure laws in the '80s, to Increase farm loans, to start a new program for first-time farmers because the average farmer is nearly 60 years old today, to try to restart small businesses and little factories in rural areas, and to put new Investment into places that had been long forgotten, Investments in roads and bridges and water and waste water and sewer systems and community development, investments in recreational opportunities even in our tiny towns, and commitments to bring health care services back to people in rural areas, in our schools and in public health networks. I tried to respond to the problems that people were having when their incomes were dropping like a rock and there was no national response for a decade. 6 R=98% 01-28-93 04:28PM P012 #34 1-28-93 4:16 PM ; 2191220 #13/25 Our folks were tough and smart, just like you are. They didn't ask for anything in the way of a handout, but they did want a hand up. And I did my best to give It to them in Arkansas. Our farm income has rebounded more than the national average, jobs are up in rural areas. Mr. Bush won't tell you this when he files around dumping on my record. He'd probably rather fly around and do it than debate me doing it. I reckon that's why I can't find him. But our state ranked first in the country last year in job growth. We had more private sector jobs created in Arkansas since George Bush became president than the entire country. In fact, there's been a reduction in private sector employment in America. The only Increase we've had in employment's in the government that he claims to hate so much. We've maintained the second lowest tax burden in the country and we've started to move forward again. It wasn't a miracle. It was just progress through hard work and partnerships, through a caring heart and a clear head on the part of a lot of people. And that is what I want you to embrace today. Mr. Bush will not change with the times, but I will. I want to put government back on the side of ordinary people, whether they work on farms or ranches or in businesses or factories. I believe that together we can build something to be proud of. I'm a builder, not a wrecker. I am sick and tired of the Washington blame game and the finger pointing and the paralysis. I think it's time we got up off our duffs and went to work to bring this country back and make something of It again. And I'll tell you something else. where. people have proved year in and year out that they will work for everything they get. I think we can do better than corn and soybean prices going down, I think we can do better than declining farm incomes and better than a farm bill that has been mismanaged by people who never wanted to see it work. I think we can cut the mountain of red tape and regulation and paper work and overemphasis on more and more credit that is at the heart of the farm policies of the Bush administration. You know, these guys say they hate big government. The Heritage Foundation, a conservative foundation, says that government regulation and paperwork has gone up more under George Bush than any president for 20 7 1-28-93 4:16 PM 2191220;#14/25 years, Give me a chance to cut it for the farmers of America, and I will. I believe we can make the 1990 farm bill work if we have somebody who cared enough to manage it properly and understood what its provisions were supposed to do and understood how it was supposed to promote decent supply management and reasonable incomes and a vigorous opportunity to export, but you're not going to get it out of this administration. He's had his chance to put the government on his side, and he didn't. Give me a chance and I will. You just look. Mr. Bush drones on and on about how he's an outward-looking president and he believes in free markets, he believes in exports. But look at his record on agricultural issues. He promised to expand farm exports, but when opportunities come, he just sort of hems and haws about them. Look at this. We had a chance to sell 30,000 metric tons of pork to Russia, but George Bush sat on the deal for eight months, waiting to turn it into politics. We had a chance to sell massive amounts of grain to Russia, grain from lowa, rice from Arkansas, but he would have had to extend credits. That's what they're there for. He sat on it and diddled around with it, and finally, other countries got the sale and our farmers got the shaft. I think we can do better, and I will. He also seems to think that trade is a one-way street. Last year alone, trade barriers cost our ollseed producers $2 billion. Now, there's nothing wrong with the law. The law today gives George Bush the weapons he needs to level the playing field, but he always puts them in mothballs. In Georgia, I was told a sad tale of how the administration would not protect the American consumers from peanuts that were tainted. In Michigan, we find over and over again how George Bush's Commerce Department reversed a decision of established law that led to the destruction of the American market or a major part of it for multi-purpose vehicles. We have a law. I am for expanded trade, folks. I believe in more sales. And if we're going to sell more, we've got to buy more, but it is a two-way street. The American people deserve the chance to have their products sold around the world, too, on terms that are fair to everybody. The European Community, on the flimsiest of excuses, is keeping our pork 8 R=98% 01-28-93 04:28PM P014 #34 1-28-93 4:16 PM ; 2191220 #15/25 out. No amount of pork barrel the president spreads around in the last 50 days of this election can remove from him the responsibility to challenge the Europeans on that issue, to challenge the Japanese on the $10 billion worth of trade barriers that still exist, to say we want more trade and we'll buy more from you, but give us a fair shot, give us a fair break. We're working hard ad we expect to be treated in way that really, really represents fair trade as well as free trade. Look at the export enhancement program. A few days ago, the president goes up to South Dakota to tell the wheat farmers that in all of his majesty, he's going to let them take advantage of the export enhancement program. Now, keep in mind, Congress authorized that program a long time ago, And keep in mind, Mr. Bush let the best time to use the export enhancement program pass, right? You know that, don't you? He didn't use the program when it was best for the markets and best for the farmers. He held it back and let the farmers suffer and let the markets go until it was best for him, to keep his Job right here before the election. I won't give you election year farm politics. I'll give you a farm policy that'll be there year in and year out, day in and day out. What's best for you, not what's best for me. You know, the other day, there leaked out a memo from the Bush campaign from Clayton Yeutter, who used to be the secretary of agriculture and was head of the Republican Committee, and the memo said, I just can't believe all those farmers aren't grateful for all that money we gave them. That's what the letter said, it said, I just can't believe it. I'll tell you why. Because farmers are smart. They understand markets and production cycles, they understand calendars and months, and they know when you're opening the door for them as opposed to opening the door for you. And that deal In South Dakota was the president using a program that a month earlier he recommended eliminating, to open the door for his own' reelection, not for the welfare of the farmers of this country. And you know it and so do the other farmers in America. There is no policy in this country to add to the value of farm products, and we have to do better. We have to do more to add to the value of our farm products and sell value-added farm products around the world, and use more here at home. I believe that so far, George Bush has made the wrong choice on ethanol, 9 1-28-93 4:16 PM ; 2191220 #16/25 and let me tell you why. Instead of standing for energy security and higher corn prices and more jobs for states like ours, he stood for the big oil companies and for more methanol, most of which is produced in Middle East. 1 believe we can find a way to deal with the environmental objections which have been raised to ethanol usage. After all, there are states, like Colorado, which are already using significant amounts of ethanol in their fuel. And if you'll give me a chance to serve, I'll bring the EPA and the Agriculture Department and all the people together. We will do the research we need to hammer out the difficulties here. We'll resolve it and we'll use ethanol as a part of our nation's energy security future. We'll do the same with biotechnology. Look at the things we could do with farm products: biodegradable plastics, soybean-based Inks, Industrial oils, lubricants, bio-fuels. We can drive up incomes and profits for decades to come in states like yours and mine and create businesses that will stay in smaller communities if we have a little vision and we have the kind of the research and development and technology spreading we need. That's what a national government ought to be doing. That's what our competitors are doing. Give Bill Clinton and AI Gore a chance, and we'll do it, too. There's something else I want to say that goes beyond the farm issue. I tried to offer this country an overall plan to change America, a plan that's been endorsed by eight Nobel Prize-winning economists, a plan that was endorsed by the heads of 21 fast-growing high-tech companies in California. Two- thirds of the executives were Republicans. It won the endorsement of 400 business leaders in Chicago last week, over a third of them were Republicans. It won the endorsement of Admiral William Crowe who was the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Presidents Reagan and Bush but who wants his country to face the problems before it. We have got to use this election to say we're going to depart from trickle-down economics, to go back to Invest and educate and face our problems. I just want to say two other things about two other issues that are very important to me. One is health care. We will never get control of our government deficit, restore health to our manufacturing sector, stability to our small business sector or security to our farmers until we finally, finally Join the ranks of every other advanced country in the world to control health care costs and provide basic health 10 R=98% 01-28-93 04:28PM P016 #34 1-28-93 4:16 PM 2191220 #17/25 care to all of our people. A fine doctor in this state, Dr. Steve Gleason, has worked with many other physicians and health care providers here to help me develop a national health care strategy. I announced it last week before the Merck Drug Company up in New Jersey, one of the most profitable companies in America, but they kept drug prices in line with inflation for three years now--and everybody else ought to do the same thing. My plan reserves your right to pick your doctor, to use your hospital; it preserves the private medical system. But it controls health care costs for all Americans, not just those who get Medicare and Medicaid-but for all Americans. And it says we are going to have a basic package of health care that everybody gets--no more two-tiered health systems. And it cleans up tens of billions of dollars in unnecessary money we're now wasting on Insurance and administration and government regulation and puts that into covering people who don't have health Insurance. It sets up a framework within which we can give our elderly people the chance to have a long-term care plan that doesn't require them to spend themselves into poverty and to go into a nursing home. They can get something more and different from that at an earlier point. And it will save hundreds of billions of dollars for the public and the private sector between now and the end of the decade. I'm telling you If you brought health care costs in line with inflation it would save more money for new jobs and new Investment than the Investment tax credit or the capital gains tax or anything you could do to the tax code. Bringing health costs into line with inflation will not only make it possible for people to secure their own lives, it will revitalize the economy. And let me say one thing to the farmers in the audience. Under our plan we're going to let the farmers and the small business people of this country have access to buy into big pools of health insurance so they can get the same cost opportunities that people who work for big companies get today. The last thing I want to say to you is that no president can promise you any economic opportunity that you are not prepared to seize. Iowa knows as well as any state in the country the Importance, the surpassing importance, of education. It is time we had an education president who is worthy of that title. I want to acknowledge the presence In the crowd today before I close the president of the National Education Association, Keith Geiger from 11 R-98% 01-28-93 04:28PM P017 #34 1-28-93 4:16 PM ; 2191220 #18/25 Michigan-raise your hand there. I offer the American people a plan for lifetime learning, teach everybody with a job to read in the next five years, give every adult a chance to get a high school education. Every young person who doesn't go to a four-year college, give them two years of further apprenticeship training so they can get good jobs, not dead-end jobs. Open the doors of college education to all Americans-- don't run people off because they cannot afford it. Think of this. I want the American people to have access to a national trust fund out of which any person can borrow the money to finance a college education, and then pay it back either as a small percentage of their income at tax time, so they can't beat the bill, or, even better, by working for a couple of years before or after they go to college at work we need done-being teachers, police officers, nurses, working in rural health programs, working in housing programs, working with the elderly, working with people with disabilities, working with children. We could solve the problems of America and educate a whole generation of Americans-and I say it's time we did it. My fellow Americans, I need your support in lowa in the next 30 days. I need for you to call your friends and neighbors in other states and say vote for Bill Clinton. Give us a chance to change the country. When Harry Truman made that trip here that Tom Harkin talked about, he said something that I want to say to you. This is my charge to you, as I close--and listen to Harry Truman's words. "You have another chance. I'm not asking you to vote for me; I'm asking you to vote for yourselves, to exercise your God-given right to control this country." When Harry Truman made that speech he carried lowa, Iowa carried him to the White House, and he kept his promise to use the government to help all the people. With your help, another son of the heartland will return to the White House in January. With your help, your prayers, and your effort. It's our country, folks; take It back. We're better than this, we can do better than this--and we will in November and in January with your help. Thank you and God bless you all. 12 R=98% 01-28-93 04:28PM P018 #34 Clinton Presidential Records Digital Records Marker This is not a presidential record.

JUL 3 0 1992 Clinton Statesman(Salen) 8/27/92 VOWS aid in Northwest log crisis Bush proposal: Page 1A The Associated Press PORTLAND - Bill Clinton has won the support of Oregon labor leaders with his promise of a summit to end the stalemate between loggers and environ- mentalists in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. "Early in my administration I will convene a Pacific Northwest Forest Summit to work out a legislative solution," Clinton wrote in a letter released Wednesday at a news conference in Portland. "I will work with the Congress and all interested parties to help break the gridlock that has caused so much pain in our Pa- cific Northwest communities." Labor leaders said the letter from the Democratic nominee, received Tuesday night, was the first indication that the regional crisis may get some attention at the presidential level. "We've been rolling the same dice for four years, and we've crapped out every time," said Wilson Hubbell, the president of the International Woodworkers of America. "Gov. Clinton understands working people in a way George Bush does not," Oregon AFL-CIO President Irv Fletcher said. "The president has had almost four years, and he hasn't come up with any proposals." The leaders of unions repre- senting more than 125,000 work- ers in Oregon said they were ex- -cited by Clinton's pledge to work toward a solution. Clinton also promised to visit a family dependent on the timber industry in the Northwest, which AUG 2 19 Fletcher said will ensure that timber workers' views are heard. Rep.

"He's not going out to do his own show," said Leo. "He has to piggyback on ours." Whatever the case, both sides have seen the timber issue as cru- cial to their Northwest strategies. Republican officials say Bush may call for new changes in environmen- tal laws in an attempt to reduce for- est preserves for the spotted owl while also bashing Clinton and his running mate, Sen. Al Gore, as be- ing too environmentalist. Bush got a head start on appealing to the timber industry Wednesday by ordering federal agencies to speed the sale of dead or dying timb- er from federal land in the North- west and California. The Forest Service said that move would increase the timber harvest on those lands somewhere from 250 million to 450 million board-feet a For his part, Clinton recently promised timber-worker unions that he would convene presidential summit on the timber issue to try to reach a compromise. And Democratic strategists hope his visit with timber workers will show he also cares about keeping them employed. The two campaign visits "will put a national focus on the issue," said Mike Draper of the Western Council of Industrial Workers. "This will really bring it to a head, and that's what we need" Andy Kerr, a well-known environ- mentalist active on the old-growth issue, said he also welcomed the na- tional attention. But Kerr said he hoped the two candidates would also focus on oth- er values for the forest than just log- ging trees for jobs. "As Air Force One is coming in." said Kerr. "I hope the president is looking at all those clear-cuts." Dan Hortsch of The Oregonian staff contributed to this story. year.

Campaign observers, both here and in Washington, D.C., say the Northwest is fertile territory for Clinton.

OAK STREET FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: December 18, 1992 Mike Draper 503/228-0235 PACIFIC NORTHWEST LABOR LEADER PRAISES CLINTON'S MOVE TO CONVENE FOREST SUMMIT Invites Vice President-elect Gore To Visit Timber Community, Meet With Timber Workers (Portland, OR) " Mike Draper, executive secretary of the Western Council of Industrial Workers (WCIW), today released the following statement regarding President-elect Bill Clinton's announcement restating his commitment to convene a Pacific Northwest Forest Summit to resolve the region's ongoing forest management crisis: "On behalf of the 30,000 members of the WCIW and forest products workers throughout the region, we thank President-elect Clinton for giving thousands of forest products workers, our families and our communities something we might otherwise forego this holiday season -- hope. "Today's statement shows that Governor Clinton's pledge to convene the summit has now become a high policy priority of President-elect Clinton's administration. "If Vice President-elect Gore is going to oversee the transition regarding the forest summit .. as indicated by Mr. Stephanopoulos - we invite him to visit a timber community in our region and meet with our members and their families. We believe this visit would provide essential insight for the Vice President-elect to deal even handedly with the summit and show him a side of the federal forest management debate he has never seen. Governor Clinton accepted a similar invitation we extended during the campaign and enjoyed an informative exchange with several forest products workers. "We challenge the Vice President-elect to accept our invitation. During the campaign, he promised to put 'people first.' We hope he will make good on this promise and give us an opportunity to show him the human side of the federal forest management debate. "We also encourage President-elect Clinton, Vice President-elect Gore and the congressional delegations of Oregon, Washington and Northern California to consider and support a set of recommendations regarding the summit developed by the leaders of five Pacific Northwest labor unions. -- more - P.3 "Representatives from the WCTW; the International Woodworkers of America, U.S.; the United Paperworkers International Union; the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers; and the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union recently met in Albany, Oregon and agreed upon the following suggestions: 1) The northwest congressional delegation should support the proposed summit as a bipartisan means of resolving the ongoing forest management crisis; 2) The summit should be held as soon as possible once the new administration takes office; 3) The outcome of the summit should include principles that will maintain the economy of the region; maintain community stability; provide for a sustainable and reasonable supply of timber for production; and maintain a reasonable level of jobs while still providing adequate protection for forest ecosystems; 4) All parties, including the pacific northwest congressional delegation, should support and be bound by the outcome of the summit; 5) The northwest congressional delegation, and other interested members of Congress, should refrain from introducing legislation concerning federal forest management pending the outcome of the summit -- the summit should serve to develop legislation. 6) All interested parties should be given an opportunity to provide input to the timber summit participants who should include representatives from the new administration, the pacific northwest congressional delegation and the governors of the affected states; 7) The state legislatures of Oregon and Washington should express their support for the suggestions listed above. "By recommitting to the forest summit, President-elect Clinton has provided a framework to resolve the forest management crisis. We present these suggestions today in a good faith effort to begin to put some walls on that frame and bring us a few steps closer to constructing a full house that we hope will contain a balanced solution to this crisis. "Organized labor, as represented by the unions participating in the Albany meeting, stands ready to assist with the development of the summit. But we strongly believe all interested parties, including labor, should be prepared to offer their ideas to summit representatives and then allow our elected officials to develop a balanced resolution to the forest management crisis." ### DEC-22-92 To: KATHLEEN MCGINTY FRIM : MARIL RAY Ray 2 PAGES American Forest Resource Alliance NEWS RELEASE December 18, 1992 RELEASE: Immediate Contact: Kevin Brett 503-222-7456 Barry Polsky 202-463-2467 The following statement was issued by Mark Rey, AFRA executive director, in response to President-elect Bill Clinton's recommitment to holding a forestry summit to find a legislative solution to the forest crisis of the Pacific Northwest and Northern California: "President-elect Bill Clinton's recommitment to holding an early summit transforms the high-level meeting from a mere campaign pledge to a key initiative for the Clinton Administration. "We applaud this development because it makes the resolution of the Pacific Northwest-Northern California forest crisis, a high administration priority. "The upcoming summit is 100 percent consistent with other administration efforts to remedy the structural deficiencies, plaguing the overall national economy. "The crippling injunctions against the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management forest management programs in California, Oregon and Washington are direct contributors to the recessionary climate in these states. "To many in the region, the upcoming summit is seen as the equivalent of Operation Restore Hope II, since it potentially could provide a road map out the legal quagmire that bedevils forest families, rural communities, schools and counties.
