MEMORANDUM FOR SANDY BERGER, MACK MCLARTY, JIM STEINBERG, JOHN
PODESTA, GENE SPERLING, ANNE LEWIS
FROM:
ANTONY BLINKEN AND DAVID LEAVY
SUBJECT:
Summit of the Americas Thursday Message Event
As part of the effort to define our overall message for Latin
America and specifically for the President's trip to Chile we
have come up with the following proposal for a message event on
Thursday April 16th.
The event assumes the following:
that the absence of fast track negotiating authority will have
a negative impact on our trade agenda and will be a major
theme of the media for the entire visit;
that the press will have a low level of interest in this trip
generally unless a credible storyline is defined; and
that the best way to address the perceived negative of no fast
track is to demonstrate leadership and confidence against the
conventional wisdom by highlighting the merits of economic
integration and free market enterprise (as embodied by Chile's
path to prosperity and equity).
Concept
The event would focus on an element of our core message for the
whole trip: "second generation" reforms aimed at making
democracy deliver. These include reforms aimed at widening
opportunity -- poverty alleviation, education and job training -
- and reforms aimed at creating a mature and stable economy -
trade liberalization, banking and security regulation, anti-
corruption, judicial reform.
The event would have two complementary parts. The first part
would be a joint roundtable with President Clinton and President
Frei and six to eight leaders of non-governmental organizations
concerned with aspects of these second-stage reforms. The two
Presidents would engage the people at the grass roots level who
are making the transition to globalization and free markets work

for everybody, i.e. educators improving learning and
curriculums, job trainers providing new skills etc.
The second part would be speeches by the two Presidents to a
crowd of approximately 500 American and Chilean business
leaders. POTUS remarks would reaffirm U.S. commitment to open
markets, trade liberalization and hemispheric integration -
highlighting the opportunities and benefits for our people (talk
about Chile's/region's economic growth, responsible financial
reforms that helped shield against Asian flu, launch of FTAA,
open skies agreement, export-related jobs etc.), while
emphasizing our commitment to bring everyone along (reference
discussion with NGOs, bilateral education MOU, civil society
committee for FTAA negotiations, possible initiative on child
labor).
Message
This two-tier event would highlight that despite the absence of
fast track, our agenda of opening markets, creating jobs, and
building business opportunities is still in the fast lane. The
structure of the message would also underscore the importance we
attach to addressing education, labor, environment, job
training, etc., so that globalization works for all citizens.
The event would also highlight the major theme of the Santiago
Summit: ensuring that democracy and free markets deliver. It
will be our first chance to explain what we mean by "second-
generation reforms": providing good schools and health care for
all, so that every child has the opportunity for a better life;
strengthening the rule of law, the independence of judges, and
the professionalism of the police, so that the justice system is
fair, efficient, and honest; attacking corruption, so public
contracts are awarded based on merit, not bribes; establishing
banking and securities regulation that permits sustained growth
while guarding against insider trading and market instability;
reaching out to all sectors of society to ensure their
participation in shaping the future.
Concurrence by: Jim Dobbins.
