Sites\nsurveyed were those intended for visits and also are subject to\nchange.\nPresident Clinton will leave Washington on Thursday morning, July\n7, visit Naples, Italy, Bonn and Berlin, Germany, and Warsaw, Poland,\nand return home the night of Wednesday, July 13. Each country is\ndetailed chronologically in this report, although your pool traveled\nto the countries in a different order. The pace will be fierce.\nThursday, July 7, is strictly a travel day. He spends July 8-10 in\nNaples, Italy, for G-7 Economic Summit (July 8-9) and G-7 plus one on\nSunday, July 10. He flies on to Bonn Sunday night, to Berlin late\nMonday night, and to Warsaw Tuesday afternoon. Clinton returns to\nWashington Wednesday night.\nFIRST LADY'S ROLE: The First Lady intends to accompany President\nClinton for the entire trip, maintaining a separate tourist's schedule\nmuch of the time but appearing at arrival and departure ceremonies,\nofficial dinners and such events where her presence is \"appropriate.\"\nPress aide Neel Lattimore led a separate party (Patty Solis, Kelly\nCraighead, and Sara Grote) advancing Mrs. Clinton's trip and was on a\ndifferent schedule from pre-advance group. This skimpy info is based\non a conversation with Neel in Berlin May 16. He said coverage\ngenerally will be pooled, and forecast a draft schedule of Mrs.\nClinton's trip will be ready by Monday, May 23.\nSince G-7's new leaner and meaner mode includes no separate\nspouses' program, Mrs. Clinton will do day-trip sightseeing in Italy\nincluding a possible trip to Pompeii. In Bonn she plans to visit\nmuseums, including the new art museum there, and perhaps do a castle-\nwatching boat trip on the Rhine. Berlin also looked like museums and\na luncheon with prominent women from the German community. She is not\nplanning any legislation-related events, Lattimore said.\nMISCELLANEOUS:\nIn a further effort to stretch those tight travel budgets, Anne\nEdwards is striving to repeat her triumph over ground costs in Russia\net seq. She apparently is employing nuclear disarmament negotiators\nto set prices on filing centers, hotel rooms, transport and the like\nbut none is yet finalized. The message is that cost to us is a\nconsideration to the White House. She is confident of success at\nseveral locations, but stay tuned. (Check with her directly for\ndetails on such matters as electronic-equipment sharing. If you have\nto ask, I'm told, that doesn't apply to you.)\nIn connection with the above, traveling press always has priority\nwhen space or other facilities are limited, as space most definitely\nwill be in the U.S. filing center at Naples. Second priority goes to\nnon-travelers sharing space with traveling colleagues from the same\ncompany, Ms. Edwards said.\nAll phone installations will provide inward and outward service\nand international direct dial capability. AT&T's Ellis Kitchen says\nadvance phone people will be on site five days before each arrival.\nHe will be in Naples, not yet decided who takes other cities. USA\nDirect is, of course, accessible through local dial mode and up to 10\nrepeat calls may be made without talking to operator simply by hitting\npound button (#). IDD allows computerized dialing without operators.\nEllis warns of possible big expense item in Warsaw where satellite\nvendor proposes to charge $11 a minute. He is working on this and\nreminds us that putting in AT&T satellite system just for a day can\ncost each traveler $1,000.\nPLEASE SEE SEPARATE COUNTRY INFORMATION FOR SPECIFICS. IF I CAN\nCLARIFY OR EXPAND ON ANYTHING, PLEASE CALL OR SEE ME AT THE WHITE\nHOUSE.\nFrank Murray, Washington Times\n202-628-1184\n(Continued)\nPage - 2\nPRE-ADVANCE REPORT FOR ITALY (as of May 17, 1994)\nSCHEDULES FOR NEWS PLANNING USE ONLY (NOT FOR PUBLICATION)\nOTHER DATA NOT FOR USE PRIOR TO TRIP BRIEFING OR SUNDAY, JULY 3, 1994\n[NOTE: Scheduling information tentative as noted on first page.]\nOVERVIEW (Italy)\nPresident Clinton will participate in his second G-7 Economic Summit\nand hold bi-lateral meetings with G-7 leaders, particularly Japan's\nprime minister, then participate in \"G-7 plus One\" sessions and bi-\nlateral with Boris Yeltsin. This is billed as a foreshortened, low-\nprofile event. The G-7 statement says: \"The Napoli Summit will place\nits emphasis on the sessions and will be held in a simplified,\nbusinesslike manner.\" That means no recreational or entertainment\npreludes. Meetings begin formally with dinner of the Seven (plus EU)\non Friday, July 8, with business sessions on Saturday, an economic\ncommunique Saturday afternoon (political communique timing ???), and\nadjournment after dinner Saturday night. Heads reconvene Sunday\nmorning in Royal Palace, Naples, as \"G-7 plus One\" for work session\nand lunch with Boris Yeltsin. No major speeches planned nor is there\nto be a full G-7 press conference, as of this writing. Clinton\nexpects to do joint press availabilities after bi-lats with Hata and\nYeltsin. As usual, it appears that G-7 will be pool coverage\nthroughout.\nSCHEDULES\nFirm scheduling not anticipated until Sherpas meet next on June 26.\nAll times here are \"notional\" and are based on latest info from White\nHouse staff. Times are local. Italy is EDT+6 hours.\nWednesday, July 6, 1994\n9:00 pm\nPress charter departs Andrews AFB enroute Naples, Italy\n[flight time: 8 hrs, 30 mins, time change +6 hrs)\nThursday, July 7, 1994\n11:30 am\nPress charter arrives Naples, Italy\n(5:30 a.m. EDT)\n[PRESS NOTE: Unusually early departure needed to put traveling press\nin Naples early. Final decision uncertain. Clinton arrives late\nThursday night and has no events until Friday morning. Complications\nfrom seven delegations arriving in protocol order at relatively small\nCapodichino Airport force the situation somewhat. Office of Press\nAdvance promises final solution will be \"humane.\"]\n8:40 am EDT MARINE ONE Departs White House for Andrews Air Force\nBase\n9:00 am EDT AIR FORCE ONE departs Andrews AFB enroute Campodochino\nAirport, Naples.\n11:20 pm\nPRESIDENT arrives Naples\n(5:20 pm EDT)\nPage - 3\nPRESIDENT STAYS AT HOTEL VESUVIO, Naples waterfront (We\nare told French and Italian leaders also are staying at this elegant\nclassic four-star hotel on the waterfront literally across the street\nfrom Castel Dell'Ovo.)\nFriday, July 8, 1994\nTimes TBA\nBi-laterals in Naples with leaders attending G-7\n(Availability intended after Hata meeting, whenever it is held.)\n2p-4p\nGREETING AND RECEPTION, CASTEL DELL'OVO on shoreline of\nNaples harbor, directly across the street from Vesuvio Hotel.\n8p-10p\nG-7 WORKING DINNER, CASTEL DELL'OVO, Informal dinner\nhosted by the Italian President of the Council of Ministers.\nSaturday, July 9, 1994\n9a-12n\nG-7 PLENARY SESSION, PALAZZO REALE, Naples (Heads\nonly/Economic)\n1p-2:30p\nWORKING LUNCH (heads only) probably at HOTEL VESUVIO\n3p-4p\nG-7 PLENARY SESSION (heads only), PALAZZO REALE\n4p-5p\nG-7 PLENARY SESSION (heads/FOREIGN MINISTERS/economic\nministers)\nPALAZZO REALE\n8p-10p\nG-7 EXPANDED DINNER hosted by President Scalfaro,\nPALAZZO REALE, CASERTA (about 25 kilometers north of\nNaples)\nSunday, July 10, 1994\n10a-12n\nG-7 + 1 MEETING, PALAZZO REALE, Naples\nNoon-1:30p\nG-7 + 1 LUNCH, SITE TBD, Naples\nTBA\nPress Availability with Yeltsin\n4:15 pm\nTHE PRESIDENT departs Naples via Air Force One en route\nBonn, Germany. (Uncertain press departure dependent on the weight of\nscheduling demands in Germany, but needs to cover him in Germany may\nforce press to continue filing-time there with arrival set for just\nafter Noon Eastern Daylight time).\nVENUES\nCASTEL DELL'OVO (Arrival greeting and Friday G-7 dinner): This\nfortress at the water's edge is built on old Roman fortifications\nwhich were in turn built on Greek foundations (Old city is laid out in\nclassic Greek city plan with two transversal roads and a pantheon and\nPage - 4\nis said to be the only one outside Greece on which plan remains\nobvious on contemporary maps. Naples derives from the Greek Neopolis,\nor New City). Original columns are visible in some locations inside\nthis fortress where heads will meet for photos Friday afternoon and\ndine in the evening. The fort is reached by a stone causeway from the\nwaterfront street, a bridgelike crossing lined by street lights and\npaved with ancient stones that are under the gaze of cannon aimed from\nfortress openings. (There is a small village at the base of its walls\nthat includes several nice restaurants and a marina.) Although the\nfort defends a harbor on the seaward side, six of its cannon point\ntowards the town and three command the approach road. Its name\nhistory (Castle of the egg) is fuzzy but the place once was the site\nof the city's egg market and there is a legend that as long as an egg\nbalanced upright in the fort, the city would not fall. It has fallen\nseveral times since that legend originated and we saw no eggs standing\non their noses.\nPALAZZO REALE, NAPLES (Royal Palace. All G-7 business meetings plus\nsome ceremonies): Principal palace of King of Naples [co king of\nNaples], monolithic red brick building about five stories tall,\ncovered with scaffolds and drapes at our visit while workmen did\nrenovations on a somewhat seedy exterior that covered a somewhat\nmildewed interior. It was begun in late 17th Century and completed in\n1707 under guidance of House of Bourbon in anticipation of visit by\nSpains King Philip III. His advance people must not have liked it\nbecause Philip never came. Charles III of Bourbon moved in on May 10,\n1734, and began decorating the place with treasures from Rome and\nParma. Palace came into Italian government hands on Oct. 3, 1919, to\nbe employed as a national library and museum. It was severely damaged\nduring WWII and was fully restored between 1950-54. A few government\noffices are on the top two floors.\nWhen the words \"grand staircase\" were written the author had in\nmind the entries of this palace and its sister in Caserta (next item).\nThere are 72 steps to top in Naples' version with a soaring ceiling\nthat towers 50 feet above its top step. The House of Bourbon's blue\nis supplanted in many rooms by the reds of the House of Savoy, the\nsubsequent tenants.\nAs a group, dignitaries will hold in the Bodyguards' Room\nadjacent to Throne Hall. Clinton's private waiting room is the\nOratory, which is dominated by Andrea Vaccaro's striking but somewhat\ngruesome painting, \"Slaughter of the Innocents.\" He'll never be\nalone. In the corner is a 19th century wooden altar behind which is a\ncopper sarcophagus containing the remains of Maria Cristina, who was\nbeatified after her death on Jan. 31, 1836. The main meeting room is\nabout 50 X 100 feet. Its facing mirrors, perhaps 15 feet tall,\nreflect artwork that is everywhere and a domed ceiling, which like all\nthe display rooms, has an elaborate mural.\nPALAZZO REALE, CASERTA (Royal Palace. G-7 dinner Saturday night;\npossibly to be expanded to G-7+1): Set by request of Italy's\npresident in palace of King of Naples [co king of Naples], at Caserta,\nItaly, the summer palace in a small city some 25 kilometers north.\nThe location is far beyond the city's jet-age airport which is shared\nwith the U.S. Navy. One story has it that the queen felt more\ncomfortable further from Vesuvio's fulminations. Palace is now a\nPage - 5\nheavily visited museum. Bourbon King Charles II sought to equal\nVersailles in splendor and may have achieved it indoors and in the\npark on the one side, although the building is incomplete on the\nsouth. Architect was Luigi Vanvitelli. Palace is 829 feet long, 662\nfeet wide and 134 feet tall. It has 120 rooms and 1,790 windows.\nMany of its rooms are huge salons and galleries and it sports a chapel\nrivalling St. Peters. Like its sibling in Naples the grand grand\nstaircase is a sight, an elaborately carved marble balustrade and 103\nmarble steps in one switchback under a ceiling that looked seven\nstories tall. Gardens are enchanting. Their \"crowning glory\" is the\nGreat Cascade, a 75-meter waterfall at the garden's outer limits 3\nkilometers from the palace.\nGreeting here is in Bodyguards' Room with reception in Sala di\nMarte (Mars Room) which is dominated by ceiling mural of God of war in\nfull cry. Dinner in Sala del Trono, which has more gilt than Fort\nKnox. Vesuvio visible from its windows, albeit at a safe distance.\nScaffolding was being erected and restoration done, particularly on\nthe crumbly rust and white border of the inlaid marble floor and\ntouchup gilding of angels twice the height of a man that dominate both\nends of the room.\nAfter-dinner entertainment will be orchestral performance in\nintimate Court Theater (Teatrino de Corte), a lovely opera house with\nfive levels of boxes crowded around a small orchestra-level marble\nfloor and a stage visible from every seat. Orchestra alone (no\nvocals) will perform a dress rehearsal of what is termed a \"comic\nopera,\" playing 18th Century compositions by Domenico Cimarosa.\nClinton and Francois Mitterrand expected to be hosted by Italy's\npresident in his box.\nNATIONAL MUSEUM (Suggested G-7+1 lunch site): Site will be the\nSundial Room (Sala Meridian), named for an intriguing time-line inlaid\nin the floor and illuminated by the sun through a small hole in a high\ncorner of the room. Through means that weren't explained the aperture\nis adjusted seasonally to illuminate the correct sign of the Zodiac\nand chronicle the time. Building was erected in 1585 as a stable,\nconverted to a university and has been a museum since 1787.\nFACILITIES\nWhite House press hotels in Naples: Travel pool will stay at Hotel\nVesuvio. Press will stay at Mediterraneo Hotel, a commercial grade\nhotel. Smallish comfortable rooms with hard-wired phones (no modular\nplugs) and rotary dials. Has minibars. No CNN or cable TV but cable\nis in the building and TVs will be available somewhere in hotel.\n25 Via N. Ponte di Tappia, Naples 80133\nTelephone: (081) 551-2240\nFAX: (081) 552-5868\nFiling center will be in a gymnasium (Naples Panathlon) adjacent\nto Royal Palace meeting sites and integrated with complex that also\nhouses international press center and services for press (food, etc.).\nPower throughout Italy is generally 220 although some Naples outlets\nhave 110, 50 cycle, but an adapter plug is necessary for these as\nPage - 6\nwell. Workspace access for setup available as of July 3, but this\ndate may change. Check with Anne Edwards' office on early access. As\nof now, entry will be through single conference entrance to Royal\nPalace which is a short ride from hotels and then a long walk inside\nto press quarters. It remains to be seen how difficult access will\nbe. With present G-7 configuration (completely out of White House\nhands, we were told) it will require a healthy walk that includes a\nvery steep driveway-like ramp of perhaps 200 feet to enter and leave\n(and which looked negotiable by goats and Jeeps). Walking down was\nrough, even emptyhanded. (Wear rugged flat shoes.) Air conditioning\nwill be installed temporarily and we were assured that amenities like\nwater (and other real luxuries) would be available. Phone lines will\nallow local calls as well as international and be set up to receive\ncalls.\nAs indicated in trip overview, traveling press will have priority\non space and other facilities in the U.S. filing center at Naples,\nAnne Edwards tells your pool.\nMISCELLANEOUS\nItaly is pulling out a lot of stops for this meeting, including\nthe unusual step of providing at no charge to press or delegations all\nneeded phone lines and telephone instruments plus data ports for the\npress. This includes free installation. Only the toll charges will\nbe billed.\nThe host government also provides each national delegation with a\nsecond-floor office containing the following: up to nine cars, four\ndirect outside lines, 4 extension phones, a hotline, two fax machines,\ntwo personal computers of which one is on-line to G-7 Secretariat, and\none paper shredder. It also will make available two 50-passenger\nbuses and three luggage vans to transport delegations from the\nairport. Motorcade limit will be 15 vehicles.\nLunches and dinners will be provided for journalists at the Royal\nPalace press center (very close to U.S. filing center).\nTipping suggestions: At least 5 percent for waiter since 12 to 18\npercent service charge on bill is for the owner. Taxi drivers get 10\nto 15 percent of meter. Porters expect 2,000 lire per bag (a little\nover $1). Concierge should get 10 percent of any bill you run with\nhim for tickets, tours or such.\nHolding the event in Naples (both previous Italy summits were in\nVenice) is said to be an effort to focus attention on attractions of\nNaples, whose name derives from the Greek Neopolis (\"new city\"), and a\nreawakening of the city's cultural heritage among Neapolitans.\n\"There's all these treasures here and people don't know about them,\"\nsaid a culturally plugged-in American diplomat. The city also is the\nbirthplace of pizza, which was invented here and reputedly popularized\nin the United States by homecoming GIs after WWII. Even the best\nrestaurants usually include it on the menu.\nThe July date puts G-7 in a hot, humid climate with rainfall\ncommon. Sorrento and Capri are nearby with frequent ferry service,\nabout 45 minutes by hydrofoil. Recommended by those who've been.\nPage - 7\nWhile Naples is doing all this, however, Italy is once again\ndoing the usual G-7 dance of demanding that pools number about three\npeople and generally cutting down access to the leaders. White House\nwas working on this and making some inroads, as usual, but it remains\nto be seen how effective they will be in lowering barriers overall.\nVOLCANO NOTES: On most days Vesuvio's two peaks are visible from\nNaples but can be obscured from hour to hour by the frequent fog, haze\nand what looked and smelled like smog. It is the only volcano still\nactive on the European continent. There is a road to the crater for\ntourists. Pompeii is about seven miles beyond the volcano in a valley\nthat carried the lava to the sea; hence its quick burial after the hot\nash engulfed the city of 10,000 or so and stopped everything in mid-\nmeal. The last eruption was in 1944 and lasted into 1945, sending\nsparks into the sky that served as a beacon to pilots of allied\nbombers. An observatory halfway up the mountain (white buildings\nvisible from Naples) monitors core temperatures and ominous rumblings.\nThe center, which has monitored the volcano since 1850, promises to\ngive two months warning of an eruption. But Embassy folks told us the\nvolcano-watchers recently moved to offices in Pozzouli, along the\ncoast on the far side of Naples from the volcano. That left test gear\nin place but placed personal gear out of Vesuvio's reach. This has\nmany wondering about the confidene level of its predictions.\nThe Naples area also is virtually on a fault line that has\nproduced earthquakes. One of the main earth plates collapsed when\nmolten material flowed out during Medieval times, taking buildings\ndown intact in what is now a Scuba divers' destination 20 minutes\nnorth of Naples. Some call this underwater city the source of\nAtlantis mythology.\nLatin scholars may find time to visit Virgil's tomb in Naples.\nWine lovers (who think by the case instead of by the glass) are\nadvised by cognoscenti to visit Enoteca del Buon Bere, at the corner\nof Marino Turchi and Gen. Giordano Orsini, a few blocks from Hotel\nVesuvio. Variety is said to be unusually good and includes some not\nseen in U.S. stores, quality is high, and case goods are available\nwith prices ranging from $7 a bottle for good stuff to $11 or $12 for\nsuperior.\nLeaders and press alike will be doing a lot of walking, climbing,\nsteps, ramps, etc. Take good shoes and practice wind sprints. On\nsome days breathing is a bit tough in Naples (and later in Warsaw).\nNon-violent crime and the cascade of traffic, which is totally\nviolent, are notoriously bad in Naples. The advice is: Don't carry\nvaluables in sight, leave behind things you can't bear to part with,\ndon't resist a robber. If you decide to give money to a beggar, don't\nshow that which you don't intend to give. Counterfeit U.S. $50 and\n$100 bills are epidemic. Despite the Bosnian conflict, terrorism risk\nwas classed as \"medium\" by Embassy notice to personnel. Press hotels\nand conference site will be inside special police zone established for\nthe Summit, so warning applies more to the rest of city. It occurred\nto some among the pre-advance party that crime comparisons may not\nPage - 8\ntake into account conditions in places like New York or Washington and\nmay seem mild to denizens of those cities.\nTraffic is fierce, however, and getting around is purely a thing\nto behold. Self-destructive people might want to sell life insurance\nto Neapolitan pedestrians or scooter-drivers. These people plunge in\nwhere fools, etc\nLook both ways when crossing, even when\ncrossing one-way streets. Never show fear; the drivers sense it and\ncome after you.\nPolitical demonstrations are frequent in Naples and may not be\ninterfered with. It is a crime to even attempt to cross the marchers'\nlines on foot or in a car.\nSerious runners tell us a jog in Naples can be a tough. They\nsuggest limiting it to 20 minutes because of pollution. Go early and\nenjoy the water views. Leave no jewelry visible except perhaps the\nmost basic timepiece. Because of sex crimes in some areas, women are\nadvised not to place themselves in jeopardy by jogging alone in\ndarkness in isolated locations.\nFood is great. Be warned: Spaghetti and clam sauce and\nantipasto are only the start of a meal. Seven courses and half a\nbottle of wine are the norm, although they will substitute mineral\nwater for the same price. There is a midafternoon siesta 30ish to\n4ish) when most things shut down although there are enough exceptions\nto make a stroll worthwhile.\nTap water is said by Embassy to be safe but bottled water is used\nwidely.\nDollar moved 1 percent from 1,605 lire to 1,591 overnight while\nwe were there. It takes a wheelbarrow to haul money around.\nNaples city population is 1.2 million with 3.5 million in Naples\nprovince. It is the business hub of South Italy, a region called the\nMezzogiorno.\nEmergency numbers:\nFire: 115\nPolice: 112\nPolice (non-emergency): 794-1111\nAmbulance (day) : 752-0850\nAmbulance (night) 752-0696\nPage 9\nPRE-ADVANCE REPORT FOR GERMANY (as of May 17, 1994)\nSCHEDULES FOR NEWS PLANNING USE ONLY (NOT FOR PUBLICATION)\nOTHER DATA NOT FOR USE PRIOR TO TRIP BRIEFING OR SUNDAY, JULY 3, 1994\nOVERVIEW (Germany)\nIn two tough days President continues the Helmut Kohl European\nTour with visits to Bonn and Berlin, where he intends to become the\nfirst U.S. president to enter the East Berlin zone since WWII (we are\ntold even Truman didn't set foot there but this was not verified),\ndeliver a major address at Brandenburg Gate and preside over\ndeactivation of the Berlin Brigade, a central player in Berlin during\nthe Cold War. He plans to visit a historic synagogue site spared on\nKristallnacht but ravaged in 1943 by bombs. There also will be\nmeetings with Helmut Kohl (with whom he will have just spent three\ndays in Naples) in both Bonn and Berlin as well as a possible\n(tentative maybe) visit to Kohl's family home at Oggersheim. When not\nbonding further with his buddy Kohl, Mr. Clinton will visit with a\nmarket crowd from the steps of the old Rathaus (City Hall) which is in\nan Old Town plaza. Bonn's federal area is typical boring government\ncity. Shopping zone is busy with modern stores and traffic is banned\nto its perimeter.\nU.S. Ambassador Dick Holbrooke characterized the importance of\nthe president's trip in farewell comments to the survey party at the\nReichstag. \"What makes this trip different from the Kennedy, Carter\nand Reagan trips is not just that Berlin is unified but that the\nmessage is different.\n...\nWhen they came the East and West were\nseparated and the Wall symbolized it.

Pooler's\nprevious visits were at a rather modest private home close by its\nneighbors on a normal street in the chancellor's home state of\nPalatinate. Usually a press stand is set up on opposite side of\nnarrow street for press availability afterward and little chance of\nindoor contact there. I believe it is law that it must rain on such\noccasions.)\nVILLA HAMMERSCHMIDT: President arrives at far end of gardens from\nhouse which is called the German \"White House\" for its color and\nfunction as presidential residence. During military ceremony, Clinton\nand president (yet to be elected but conventional wisdom says Herzog,\nnow president of federal court) will stand alone near the car during\nanthems, then walk through gardens past fountain across red carpet on\ncobbled courtyard. Two flagpoles at their right while walking bear\nGerman and US flags. The house front is rather plain but there is a\ndramatic balcony above the front door. Schoolchildren likely to be\namong invited crowd of 200 or so in secure area for the 10-minute\nceremony. House takes its name from a millionaire who bought it in\n1899. Other presidents have been to Villa including JFK who attended\nceremonies there establishing the German Peace Corps.\nCHANCELLERY: Kohl meets Clinton at photo op out front unless they\nchoose to have him meet him in the gardens at gate in the fence\nseparating Chancellery from Villa Hammerschmidt. Nice walk on a nice\nday. Press stand out front of the building and small pool would go\ninside for photo op at start. This 1976 structure is typical German\ngeometric architecture, lots of glass and right angles in a three-\nstory aluminum building of bronze color within a highly secured\ncomplex of identical buildings including the parliament's present\nhome. It has 240 rooms, a pool, gym, restaurant and library, plus\nunderground garage for 350 cars, and houses about 420 of the\nChancellor's staff.\nBONN RATHAUS (City Hall) : The stairs of this building have hosted\nspeeches by only two foreign leaders in the past, Charles deGaulle\n(1962) and John Kennedy (1963). Queen Elizabeth II visited in 1965\nand 1978. In 1989 Mikhail Gorbachev did his thing there. The present\nbuilding was erected in 1737 and restored in 1949 from WWII damage.\nClinton will first meet Oberburgermeister Hans Daniels in a large\nstudio with a fireplace and sign the ubiquitous Golden Book which is\nthe third for this city since the custom began in 1926. In addition\nto Kennedy, Presidents Carter and Nixon visited and signed during\ntheir trips to the wall as did former President Truman. Mr. Carter's\ndaughter Amy distinguished herself by drawing a picture of Mickey\nMouse, which remains unique. Clinton's picture may be added to the\ncollection that already houses Corazon Aquino, and the leaders of\nMalaysia, Spain, Netherlands, Japan, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.\nGermans told us about 10,000 people can fit into the market square\noutside. (Aging White House advancer questions that number.) The\nPage - 12\nbuilding is pink and gray with bright gold trim and has a clock that\nworks above the door. The front entrance is regal and has a balcony\nand wrought iron rails about 15 feet above the crowd. Not likely to\nbe in the pictures are the restaurants that flank it (German on the\nleft and on the right a Chinese and a creperie).\nPETERSBERG GUESTHOUSE: This isolated high-on-a-hill guesthouse\n(Gasthaus) is used so often for foreign visitors that photo-op lights\nare permanently installed. It is at Konigswinter, across the Rhine\nfrom Bonn. There are million-mark views of the Rhine from up there\nand the ballroom alone has 17 floor-to-ceiling windows. It may still\nbe light at 10 p.m. when the president visits. From the glass-walled\nrooms or outdoor plazas you can see the flatlands along the winding\nriver to the north or the castle-studded mountains to the south. A\nglider soared at an altitude below where we stood. Clinton would use\nSuite 500, the Berlin Suite. Outer rooms were heavily marbled with\nchairs arranged in conversational squares around coffee tables.\nLittle decor but great view of castles to the south. Even the\nelevators are glass all around. In addition to the government\nguesthouse (acquired in 1979), there is a hotel in the other wing with\nabout 70 rooms. Grounds at the peak of a heavily secured hill. First\nopened in 1892, was seat of Allied High Commission until 1952. Shah\nof Iran, Queen Elizabeth II and Secy. Gen. Brezhnev stayed there (not\nsimultaneously). It has closed at times but has been open again since\n1990.\nVENUES (Berlin)\nREICHSTAG: Parliament completed in 1894 and now used for conferences\nand occasional caucuses of the Bundestag. It was rebuilt from war\ndamage in the 1960s and reopened in 1971. Public Act of Unification\nwas signed on its steps Oct. 4, 1990, and later that month it was site\nof first reunified Bundstag meeting. That parliamentary role becomes\npermanent again when Bundestag moves back from Bonn in the next five\nyears (Berlin already is the national capital, but government's still\nin Bonn). Hitler's appointment as chancellor was done there on Jan.\n30, 1933, followed by the Feb. 27, 1933, Reichstag Fire which was the\npretext for abolishing democratic rights. Reichstag official says it\nwas not used officially by Nazis. As with most buildings older than\n1945, the scars of bullets and bombs are clearly visible. Red Army\nraised Soviet flag from a corner tower of the Reichstag in May 1945,\nsignalling the end of the battle for Berlin. It is just a few feet\ninside West Berlin and less than a block north from Brandenburg Gate.\nPresidents Truman and Reagan and Kennedy have visited the site but it\nstill had holes in the wall and the dome was girders when Kennedy got\nthere in 1963, we were told.\nIts interior is strikingly (discordantly?) modern, starkly white.\nChrome is the dominant theme and a huge chrome and Porsche red mobile\nhangs from the three-story ceiling in the 70-foot X 70foot main entry\nhall whose eastern wall is glass and overlooks the parliamentary area\nfrom behind the speaker's platform (a visitor there is looking over\nthe presiding officer's shoulder at the delegates.)\nBRANDENBURG GATE (BRANDENBURGER TOR): (Site is Pariser Platz at whose\ncenter stands the Gate and which is some 100 feet from where American\nEmbassy once stood, and where its replacement may be built as German\nPage - 13\ngovernment moves to Berlin. U.S. soil fell into in East Zone during\nCold War and is marked now with a plaque, nice lawn, and unobstructed\nview of piles of debris at site of Hitler's bunker south of\nBrandenburg Gate.)\nClinton's chance for oratorical greatness occurs at a former\ntollgate in what was East Berlin. The Brandenburg Gate, which was\nentirely within the East zone, was completed in 1791 as a tollgate for\nKing Frederick William II. It is crowned by a four-horse chariot\nsculpture (Quadriga) that faces east. Napoleon's troops marched\nthrough in 1806 after defeating the Prussians. After Waterloo in\n1815, the Prussians reversed the roles. And it was there that storm\ntroopers marched when Hitler assumed power in 1933. During the\nOccupation it was a major crossing between East and West Berlin but\nthat ended when it was walled off by the Berlin Wall in 1961. On Nov.\n9, 1989, it was the focal point when the Wall was opened and crowds\nbegan chipping it away.\nOne scenario has Clinton walking about one block from their\nprevious event at the Reichstag, and through the gate's center arch to\na speaker's stand at what would be the north side of the street, just\noff center from the gate and far enough away that it would tower over\nthem in photographs and TV shots. Only taxis, buses and pedestrians\nare allowed through the gate now and traffic all uses the center arch,\none way at a time. On an ordinary day the scene has a somewhat\ncircusy atmosphere, complete with organ grinder. Tourists mill about\ntaking pictures and patronizing the slew of souvenir stands (all\noffering pieces of the wall with suspiciously bright paint on them).\nNEUE SYNAGOGUE: Clinton may tour construction of Jewish Community\nCenter at site of Oranienburger Strasse Synagogue in eastern Berlin.\nThe synagogue facade (Neue Synagogue when it was opened on May 9,\n1866) has been declared a historic monument by the city government and\nGerman governments have put some 80 million DMs into reconstruction\n(about $50 million). Our host for interesting survey was a colorful\nstory-teller named Konstantin Munz, a mid-fortyish redhead with heavy\nred beard who is a director of the restoration work. He said the\nsynagogue was spared from 1938 Kristallnacht pogroms by intercession\nof district police commissioner Wilhelm Kreuzfeld (or Krutzfeld), who\ntold firemen at the point of a gun to put out the flames. On the\nnight of Nov. 9-10, fires destroyed 2,675 synagogues in Germany\nincluding the other 116 in Berlin. The Neue Synagogue was set ablaze\nbut was saved when Kreuzfeld ordered firemen to put it out and it was\nin use again on April 2, 1939, the first night of Passover. After the\nlast service, on April 13, 1941, the synagogue was seized by the\nGerman Army to store uniforms. It was heavily damaged in a November\n22, 1943, air raid by the Royal Air Force. \"You must know I'm happy\nat this bombing,\" Munz said, since it was aimed at hastening the end\nof the war. The attack did great damage to the synagogue's nave (if\nthat is the right word), which was about 300 feet long and 100 feet to\nthe roof. That main portion was taken demolished in 1958 for\nunexplained reasons. The front portion, which housed the dome and\nmeeting rooms, was heavily damaged on upper floors but basically\nspared because the Germans had added a concrete ceiling and used the\nfront rooms for air raid shelters. \"Bombs fall from the sky, after\nall,\" Munz said, explaining why damage was more severe on upper\nfloors. The few original decorated frieze reliefs or ceiling panels,\nPage - 14\nor portions of them, remain in dark red or other colors while all\nrestoration is in pale white or beige to show visitors the extent of\nthe damage. An ornate old pillar will stand next to a plain steel or\nplaster support. \"My grandchild must see what was done,\" Munz said.\n\"We want a sign, where we are, what we are.\nWe are not Jewish\npeople in Berlin, Germany. We are German Jews.\nThe 19th Century synagogue, which seated 3,200, was in the\ntraditional Jewish Quarter and was a center of Jewish life and culture\nin the city. It claims to have been the first to include an organ.\nIt was the site of a violin concert by Albert Einstein on Sept. 29,\n1930.\nGDR (East Germany) began rebuilding the synagogue in 1988 as part\nof what U.S. background papers call an attempt \"to underline its\ndenial of responsibility for Nazism and the Holocaust. \" Construction\ndue to continue through 1995 although parts of the building are in\nuse. (Munz said government money is used only for exterior\nconstruction with donations from elsewhere throughout the world going\nfor inside work. He said that money is one area in which Germans can\nexpress what he called \"feedback\" about what happened before\nAuschwitz. \"Money is a good point on which to talk.\") Pillars are\nfor position only and do not bear the weight of the new roof.\nSurviving rooms on first of three floors were main entrance hall, the\nmen's vestibule, and the marriage room. Virtually all above that is\nrebuilt with just scraps of the original in place. The back wall of\neach floor is all glass, looking out on the football-field-sized area\nthat once housed the main congregation. Today it is not yet a\nsynagogue again, however, and has no congregation or minyan of its\nown. It is an educational center for adults and community center --\n\"a communication point for Jews in the city, a place people can talk\ntogether.\" \"It is a small address. God at this moment in this city\ndoesn't need a big address,\" Munz told us. Its community is 10,000\nJews, mostly immigrants from the former Soviet Union and about 3,000\nGermans. Before WWII, there were 173,000 Jews in Berlin. Now the\ncommunities of Berlin Jews in New York and London are larger than in\nBerlin, he said. The community center also houses archives of Jews in\nthe former East Germany. The completed building will include a 20-\nfoot by 20-foot synagogue chapel on the third floor. Asked if the\ninstitution's Torah was saved, Mr. Munz (not a rabbi) said that 76 of\nthe scrolls were saved (he attributed 68 of them to intervention by a\ntrash-collector who picked them out of a dump and took them in 1943 to\na rabbi holding forth from a Jewish cemetery). \"One can't be too\ncertain which came from which and we believe one is ours. One Torah\nroll was taken from our synagogue and no one can say we are not\ncorrect.\"\nNOTE: When your pool passed Oranienburger on Saturday evening,\nthere were barricades around the entranceway and several police stood\noutside, some wearing bulletproof vests and carrying automatic\nweapons. Embassy people said it was not a normal thing. Mr. Munz\ntells us they have been there since April because of bombing attacks\nand threats elsewhere in Germany, but not at Neue Synagogue. While we\nwere there, police on the guard detail freely acted as tour guides for\nGerman tourists, pointing out items of interest on the outside and\nexplaining the reconstruction. Visitors are not permitted inside.\nPage - 15\nMC NAIR BARRACKS: Site surveyed for ceremony to end the Brigade's role\nhas been the place for nearly every major ceremonial event held by the\nU.S. Army in Berlin. Ceremony would be on broad paved avenue (perhaps\n50 feet across) where there is a permanent tri-level shelter some 150\nfeet long for VIP ceremony-watchers on one side of the street which\nwill be lined with state and territory flags. On the other side are\n19 permanent flagpoles on which red and white bunting is normally\narrayed. This time, however, the reviewing stand -- which normally is\nin front of the permanent VIP stand -- may be across the street with\nits back to a hedge that shields a cemetery. Col. Al Baker, an\nAirborne kind of guy, suggested a large crowd would be on hand and\nsome 10,000 tiny flags would be distributed among them. Public will\nbe in bleachers and SRO areas at both ends of the street.\nClinton will arrive to usual musical honors and 21-gun salute.\nCommander in Chief then will \"troop the line\" in a specially outfitted\nJeep. It is Patton-style jeep painted a bit more specially and\nchromed wherever. After German and U.S. anthems are played he will\naffix a ribbon unit citation to the service flag (like the ones in\nWhite House Roosevelt Room) and the colors will be cased in canvas\ncontainers (\"rolling the colors\" or \"retiring the colors\"),\nsymbolically taking down the military's Stars and Stripes in Berlin\nfor the last time. The commanding general then will speak followed by\nClinton. Troops will march in review (936 soldiers, of whom 720 plus\nthe band will march) while three helicopters do a fly-by.\nThis will be the big American farewell although a few token\nAmerican troops will be in Berlin with French and German forces for\nSept. 8 formalities. (Boris Yeltsin is scheduled to attend Aug. 31\nceremony for departure of last 50,000 Russian troops.) Approximately\n1,000 U.S. troops will remain at time of president's visit, down from\n7,000 in 1990.\nWithin a couple of days of the ceremony, virtually all remaining\nuniformed U.S. troops will leave Berlin which they first occupied\nformally on July 4, 1945. The last president to visit the U.S. troops\nat their base here was President Truman who arrived on July 20, 1945\n(cq), bringing a flag that had flown over the U.S. Capitol on Dec. 7,\n1941 (which later was taken to Tokyo as well). of course, Reagan\nspoke in 1987 at the wall site closest to Brandenburg and Kennedy\nspoke at the West Berlin City Hall, a temporary Cold War location\nabout 4 miles or so from the Wall (the real City Hall in East Berlin\nis intended to be a presidential visit site).\nThe barracks has 54 beige buildings on 90 acres in southwestern\nsection of Berlin. It is home to 4th, 5th and Combat Support\nBattalions of the 502nd Infantry and 320th Field Artillery. During\nthe war the site was a Telefunken anti-aircraft gun factory bombed by\na U.S. Army Air Corps raid in 1944 that hit storage facilities but not\nthe weapons plant. Barracks named for Gen. Leslie James McNair (of\nD.C.'s Fort McNair), a 1904 West Point grad killed in France in 1944\nby \"friendly fire\" when bombs fell short.\nBERLIN CITY HALL: Not to be confused with interim West Berlin City\nHall where Kennedy spoke, which is miles away. This was THE pre-war\ncity hall and wound up behind the wall. It returned to use by a\nreunified city government in 1990. Building renovated since then and\nPage - 16\nis very ceremonial inside with stained-glass windows, photo displays,\netc. The balcony from which Hitler spoke to Berliners looks out on a\npark area dominated by a large electronic Coke billboard. The\nceremony likely would take place in a hall used for nothing else and\nwhich accommodates about 200. It also has permanent press stands for\n40, eight stained-glass windows each marked for a district, and a\nstage with table for signing and lectern for sprecken.\nFACILITIES\nPress filing center at Scandic Crown, where staff overnights, a\ncommercial-grade hotel overlooking the Rhine not far from Bonn center\ncity. Scandic Crown has pool, gym, CNN, co-ed saunas, no-smoking\nrooms available, mostly twin-bedded, Germany modular phones, minibars,\nand hair-dryers. Press possibilities include Scandic Crown and\nMaritim [cq] Hotel Bonn, a new high-tech luxury hotel built on federal\nproperty and likened to putting a Marriott on the Ellipse.\nPresident's RON is at Petersberg [cq] Guesthouse.\nOne interesting innovation. Guest room keys also needed to summon\nelevator and to work controls inside (when card is swiped your floor\nlights up and elevator won't stop at other floors).\nScandic Crown\n2 Berliner Freiheit\nBonn 53111\nTelephone: (02 28) 7 26 90\nFAX (02 28) 7 26 97 00\nMaritim Hotel Bonn\nGodesberger Allee\nBonn 53175\nTelephone: (02 28) 8 10 80\nFAX: (02 28) 8 10 88 11\nIn Berlin, press stays at the Schweizerhof Intercontinental\nacross the street from the Intercontinental itself, perhaps the\npresident's RON, and whose new conference center will house the press\nfiling center.

Schweizerhof is a middle-age\nhotel, more European than is the Intercon, and sports Chaine des\nRotisseurs plaque and offers CNN, hair dryers, modular phones in some\nrooms (with old German plugs) and mini-bars.\nSchweizerhof Hotel\nBudapest Street\nBerlin 10787\nIntercontinental\n2 Budapest Street\nBerlin 10787\nTelephone 49 (30) 26020\nFAX: 49 (30) 260 28 0760\nMISCELLANEOUS\nPage - 17\nDon't count too heavily on using credit cards in German\nrestaurants or stores outside of hotels. Though Visa won't like it,\nmany don't take Visa, MC or Amex. Nicht.\nOn the off-chance that anyone gets a lunch or dinner opportunity\nin Berlin, I can recommend an outstanding German restaurant (low\nprices, great food and beer, and just the atmosphere I hoped for,\nmitout music), the Zur Letzten Instanz (The Last Instance) which\nclaims to date from 1621 and be the oldest pub in Berlin. It is a\nblock or two from the Rathaus (City Hall) which is in the old East\nZone. Like many restaurants, an English-language menu is available on\nrequest.\nPlease note that German hotels have modular phones with one of\ntwo German plugs, old or new. (Poland and Italy have RJ-lls like the\nU.S.) Suggest adapters for those planning to log-on from hotel rooms.\nAlso note, at the risk of branding myself some kind of a puritan,\nsome men and women planning to use the saunas in Germany might prefer\nnot to be surprised to learn that nudity in them is co-ed.\nThis is a triple-election year for Germany (not counting the June\n9 European election). For those interested, the presidential election\nin late May by an ad hoc group called the Bundesversammlung (something\nof an Electoral College assembled from 662 federal parliamentarians\nand 662 persons elected from the states). Chancellor comes from the\nfall elections and there are local elections.\nDecision on when to move government from Bonn to capital in\nBerlin remains uncertain, but is expected in 1998. The national\npolitical decision is tied into embassy relocations as well as new\nuses for federal center in Bonn.\nJogging in Bonn is fine, widely done. Hotel is not far from\nRheinaue Park, which has excellent running paths along the Rhine\nRiver. No info on jogging in Berlin but watch out for bike paths,\nwhich are jealously guarded by the wheelies.\nPage - 18\nPRE-ADVANCE REPORT FOR POLAND (as of May 17, 1994)\nSCHEDULES FOR NEWS PLANNING USE ONLY (NOT FOR PUBLICATION)\nOTHER DATA NOT FOR USE PRIOR TO TRIP BRIEFING OR SUNDAY, JULY 3, 1994\nOVERVIEW (Poland)\nThe president will make a bilateral visit to Poland, which occurs\nduring the meeting of the Visograd countries (the Czech Republic,\nSlovak Republic and Hungary), so he will attend a reception for people\nat that meeting as well. He also will address Parliament, join with\nAFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland in visiting a job retraining center,\npress the flesh, lay wreaths and hobnob with the president and prime\nminister. He comes at a time when political dissatisfaction is\nrunning high among those impatient that they haven't achieved the\ninstant prosperity they expected with their freedom. Although stores\nare full of consumer goods, many high-ticket brands of the Fifth\nAvenue variety (including a Cartier's), ordinary people don't earn a\ngreat deal yet with $50 a week not unusual. Unemployment is high\n(officially about 16 percent, although that figure is considered\ninaccurate) and concern focuses on the costs of pensions and reform.\nWalesa faces the question of the extent to which his government can\noffer social protection while undertaking economic reforms. Poles are\nsaid to look to Clinton's visit \"for signs we're [U.S.] going to\ncontinue to be involved\" including more access to U.S. investment. He\nwill be expected to remind them that change is not without cost but\nthat the U.S. remains committed. City is clean and cosmopolitan\nalthough you may see the mother of all flea markets at the sports\nstadium.\nPresident Walesa has split from his base in Solidarity (which\ndemonstrated May 12 and threatened general strike in two weeks).\nPolls rank his popularity very low (16 percent or so with negatives\nranked about 46 percent). Elections due in 1995. Walesa also remains\nat odds with Parliamentary leaders over his power to appoint three key\nministers (Defense, Interior which includes police, and Foreign\nAffairs).\nVirtually all of Warsaw was bombed into oblivion before end of\nWWII. (\"Make the rubble bounce,\" Hitler is reputed to have ordered\nafter his troops withdrew following the bloody Warsaw Uprising by ill-\nfated Poles while Russian troops waited across the Vistula River\nbefore moving in for the kill.) That WWII historical perspective\nworks its way into daily life more often than elsewhere in the world.\nThe city is new and modern although many buildings including \"old\nTown\" were rebuilt the way they were with the bricks from the rubble.\nSCHEDULES\nTuesday, July 12, 1994 (All times estimated, locations may change)\nNOTE: Because of filing time in Germany while president leaves\nquickly, tonight's coverage in Poland may be entirely pool with a few\nmore press sent along on the backup Air Force One after Brandenburg\nGate event to be in position.\nPage - 19\n5:30 pm\nTHE PRESIDENT arrives airport, Warsaw, Poland (without\nHelmut Kohl).\n6:00 pm\nTHE PRESIDENT and Mrs. Clinton arrive Belvedere Palace,\nWarsaw.

In 1765 it was the\nresidence of Poland's last king (Stanislaus Augustus) and has housed\nits viceroys, dukes, and marshals. (Not surveyed.)\nTOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER: When the Saxon Palace was blown up by\nretreating German soldiers in 1944, a section of colonnade with three\narches remained. The pillars atop its railing were snapped off. The\ntomb is within the center arch that now dominates Pilsudski Square,\nwhich during the WWII occupation was renamed Adolf Hitler Square. The\nbody is said to be that of a student who fell in Lwow in the 1920\nPolish-Russian War. Urns in the tomb also contain soil from\nbattlefields on which Poles have fought and plaques on its walls list\nthe major battles of the last thousand years (since 972). A flaming\ntorch stands at the head of the tomb which was covered with wreaths\nwhen we visited. Two honor guards, tall young men in plain olive drab\nuniforms and spit-polished boots, stand motionless under the roof\nflanking the tomb at attention while balancing their rifles vertically\nin their left hands. At the changing of the guard ceremony, guards\nemployed a pounding goosestep near the tomb. School kids who swarmed\naround the outside of the structure and posed for pictures moved aside\nlong enough for the changing and then closed in again.\nMONUMENT TO CHILDREN WHO FOUGHT IN WARSAW UPRISING: (The name in\nPolish is Mali Powstaniec, which I am told is the \"Little Rebel,' or a\ndiminutive for Powstaniec who are the revolutionaries who fought in\nthe Powstanie, or uprising. There'll be a quiz.). Fetching statue of\na child about kindergarten age carrying a machine gun on a sling\nacross his chest and wearing a helmet that came down over his eyes and\nears and much of his face. The statue stands in a niche in the outer\nof two walls around Old Town. A bouquet of spring flowers was at his\nfeet.\nROYAL CASTLE: Dinner will be in the Great Assembly Hall, set with\nabout 12 round tables. Champagne toast, dessert and playing of both\nnational anthems will occur in adjoining Council Chamber. Castle has\nthe elegance and gilt seen in many European palaces, but is more\nbrilliant even than Versailles since it is so new (rebuilt in 1971).\nFloors in the Castle are parquet and museum visitors are required to\nwear felt slippers over their shoes to avoid scuffing.\nThe castle, in the common style of a multi-story office building\nsurrounding courtyards, overlooks the Vistula at the site of an\nancient fortress. In its present form, the castle was first built in\nthe 13th century. The nation's first constitution was signed there in\n1791. The Castle contains 22 paintings from the 18th Century that\nwere a model for post-war reconstruction of the old city. The column\nin front of the castle is Sigmund's Column, erected in 1644 in honor\nof King Sigmund III.\nWARSAW GHETTO MONUMENT: The president will go to the largest and most\nprominent of several monuments in the ghetto area (Others are the\nlarge carved stone at Mila 18 and at the railhead where Jews were\nloaded aboard trains bound for Auschwitz). It was unveiled on April\nPage - 21\n19, 1948, fifth anniversary of the ghetto uprising (which is distinct\nfrom the general Warsaw Uprising or Powstanie, which came in 1944).\nThe monument is about 35 feet tall and its facade depicts men, women\nand children fighters breaking out of the burning ghetto. They carry\nguns, handmade grenades, and paving stones. The central figure is a\nman, wounded in the head and right hand, who is throwing with his\nleft. [Stone on the front of the monument was ordered by Hitler in\n1942 to build a victory monument to Third Reich. The rear of the\nmonument is a stone relief depicting Jews being driven to\nconcentration camps.\nAccording to Polish histories, there were 380,000 Jews in Warsaw\nin 1939. The 307-hectare ghetto was sealed off on the night of Nov.\n15, 1940, and at its peak in the spring of 1941 contained 450,000\npeople from a population being resettled by Nazis from the\nhinterlands. Quickly built brick walls enclosed it. By the spring of\n1942, alarm spread among ghetto residents on the killings in\nconcentration camps. 100,000 had already died inside the ghetto from\nstarvation and disease. 300,000 were deported to Treblinka between\nJuly 22 and Sept. 21, 1942. The uprising occurred in April and May\n1943, after a second major relocation on Jan. 18-22), when only 60,000\nwere left inside. The last holdouts in the sewers were flushed out in\nthe autumn.\nSEJM: The Sejm (pronounced SAME) is the lower house of Parliament\n(Senate is upper, recreated in 1989). Since Parliament is scheduled\nto recess by July 2, Clinton necessarily will address a special\nsession of some of the Sejm's 460 members and some senators along with\nthe capital's diplomatic corps and President Walesa. This parliament\nwas elected last September. Gore spoke here as have the president of\nLithuania and the speaker of Israel's parliament. The lower house\nchamber or Hall of Debate, rebuilt in 1947, is a handsome and bright\nroom furnished in wooden benches, with fabric upholstery, arrayed in a\nseries of 11 concentric semicircles beneath a 16-meter circular\nskylight. President Walesa's curtained box is on the balcony to the\nleft of the speaker's stand from the members' viewpoint. The podium\nfrom which the president will speak is directly in front of a higher\npodium on which there are five throne-like chairs. At the center\nseat, belonging to the speaker of the Sejm, is the towering staff of\noffice which he raps three times to signal order. Behind that is a\ntowering arrangement of bunting that is a brilliant red and a very\nwhite white, topped by the imperial eagle symbol. Each seat is\nequipped with electronic voting pad and there are four computerized\nscreens in the room to record ballots. Acoustics in the hall are \"far\nfrom perfect,\" parliamentary literature says. At the Entrance Hall\nthe visitor is met with bronze railings in the shape of snakes that\nsurround the room and present their menacing heads at each side of the\nbottom step.\nCOUNCIL OF MINISTERS BUILDING: (Meeting with Prime Minister Powlak.)\nOnce a military school. During 1944 uprising Nazis used its gardens\nfor mass executions. Three locations inside. Arrival photo op\npossibility in large anteroom to his office, in front of white marble\nfireplace beneath chandelier that looks a bit like a wagon wheel. Two\nrooms involved in meeting are the Clock Room, dominated by an\nexquisite grandfather clock whose time was accurate but the date was\nthree days fast. In one corner, by the window, was a sofa, coffee\nPage - 22\ntable and four chairs. The adjacent meeting room has a round wooden\ntable, tapestried walls and two torchiere lamps.\nPOLISH-AMERICAN BUILDING CRAFTS TRAINING CENTER: Clinton may tour\nschool, with hands-on time with teaching tools, then say some words\njust outdoors.\n(From fact sheet made available by school director\nJerzy Pieszczurykow) School opened in 1991 in Warsaw, and a second\ncenter opened in Gdynia in September, train some 60 workers at a time\nin building crafts (bricklayer, ironworker, plumber, electrician,\nroofer, dry wall). Activity is cosponsored by AFL-CIO and Solidarity\nwith financial support from U.S. Labor Department ($2 million so far,\naccording to Administrator Vito Skorupski, a Chicago Carpenters Union\nofficial who says they could use another $3 million). Instructors\nwere trained in U.S. and use American tools and equipment. They\ninclude four-month apprentice level courses and advanced courses of\nfour or six weeks in special skills such as tile-setting for\nbricklayers or copper pipe work for plumbers. School has graduated\nsome 700 students. It also has graduated 76 people from a small\nbusiness course conducted in cooperation with Ohio State University.\nFrom observation and interviews: Former Labor\nSecretaries Elizabeth Dole and Lynn Martin have visited the center.\nCenter operates from a small two-story cinderblock building built by\nstudents at 50 Nasielska, a rutted street beside a railroad track in\nan apparently poor neighborhood of deteriorating housing. On the\nstaircase to the second floor is a plaque from the June 20, 1991,\ndedication ceremony, bearing the names of President Bush (who was not\nthere) and President Walesa (?). It is flanked by an American flag\nand a Polish flag. Students were seen tying iron reinforcing rods and\nfinishing wallboard. Skorupski, who really wanted to talk about the\nCubs' home victory, said students are virtually guaranteed jobs, many\nat companies formed by other students who also send in workers for\nadvanced training. He said they are branching out to include 17-year-\nolds in trade school. \"It's still kind of primitive yet, but we're\nworking on it,\" Skorupski said. One overall objective is to further\nunionize construction in Poland. He said the center is helping a\nChicago company (McCue Construction, phonetically) develop information\nto bid on a 37-story building in Warsaw and said that if the company\nwins the job it has promised to hire subcontractors from the training\nschool, to require the school's certification for workers hired by\nother subcontractors, and to require 100 percent unionization on the\njob.\nLASIENKI PARK: Possible site of a Visigrad nations' reception,\nassumed to be at foreign ministry level with a visit from Clinton who\nis said to want them to meet informally enough so he can talk freely\nto all the participants. Possibility of including Baltic states.\nHouse toured is called Bathing Apartment (or Bathhouse) but this is a\nmisnamed 1788 mansion of marble. The park's name apparently is plural\nfor bathhouses so there must have been others. Salomon's Hall is the\nballroom involved.\nPage - 23\nFACILITIES\nPress hotel is the Hotel Jan Sobieski, which proclaims itself\nfour-star and appears to be exactly that. It is about 1,000 meters\ndown the street from Marriott, where filing center is located and\npresident will likely be staying in one of its 34 \"regular\" suites or,\nmore likely, the Presidential Suite. (Press may be getting better end\nof this deal hotelwise, although Marriott is very nice and very\nAmerican. Sobieski had no rooms large enough for a filing center).\nIt is two years old, 431 rooms of which 371 are roomy and\nattractive and 60 tiny singles are really teeny-weeny. All share the\nsame amenities. Most rooms have tubs as well as shower. CNN,\nsatellite TV, hair dryers, mini-bar, 24-hour room service, same-day\nlaundry, non-smoking rooms. Touchtone phones have RJ-11 (computer\ncompatible) modular plugs and a choice of dialing out via hotel's more\nexpensive satellite phone system (dial 60, 20 lines activated when we\nvisited) or using 50 lines to Polish phone system (dial 90) for local\ncall, such as through USA Direct, or direct overseas phones. Rooms\nrun $110 U.S. plus VAT of 22 percent. (Applies to all purchases).\nRestaurants not sampled, but less choice than at Marriott.\n1 Plac Artura Zawiszy\nP.O.

At the time of our visit 2,200,000 zl=$100.\n(Next Jan. 1 they are dropping four zeroes which should lower the\nstress of being a millionaire in anything. Largest notes we saw were\n500,000. Change is rounded off and people don't bother with 1,000 zl\nnotes.)\nWalesa and Clinton share the passion of crossword puzzles,\nalthough it is doubted that Mr. Clinton does his in Polish.\nThose looking for a drink should not necessarily steer into a\n\"koktajl bar,\" since a cocktail in Poland is a milkshake and such\nplaces are sort of dairy bars. There are at least two casinos in\nWarsaw, one in the Marriott and one virtually across the street.\nPage - 24\nPoland's VAT of 22 percent is added to everything. Tips are\ngenerally not included in restaurant bills unless the party is\nunusually large in which case the menu will note it. Apparently 10\npercent is considered an average meal tip.\nSerious runners suggest limiting Warsaw jogs to 20 minutes\nbecause of pollution.\nShoppers are advised by local experts to beware of apparent\nantiquities since virtually everything pre-1945 in Warsaw and environs\nwas destroyed or stolen. Authenticate anything really expensive,\nincluding religious panels, silver, etc.\nEND PRE-ADVANCE REPORT (as of May 17, 1994)\nFrank Murray\nOffice: 202-628-1184\nHome: 301-390-9820\nSCHEDULES FOR NEWS PLANNING USE ONLY (NOT FOR PUBLICATION)\nOTHER DATA NOT FOR USE PRIOR TO TRIP BRIEFING OR SUNDAY, JULY 3, 1994\n#####\nPage - 25\nUnited States\nOffice of the Director\nInformation\nAgency\nWashington, D.C. 20547\nUSIA\nJune 20, 1994\nTO:\nMark Gearan\nDir. WH Communications\nTom Ross\nDir. NSC Press Office\nFROM:\nAndrew Frank\nSenior Advisor for Comm.\nRE:\nG-7, Poland, Latvia Public Diplomacy Plan\nLast Friday USIA convened a meeting on the President's upcoming\ntrip to Europe. The following are ideas/suggestions for a public\ndiplomacy strategy.\nAs we quickly approach the President's trip, our elements are\ntrying to satisfy post requests. With the NSC/White House Press\noffice's direction of domestic and international media\nstrategies, USIA will be able to coordinate our media elements\nfor the Senior officials listed below. Many times USIA has a\nscattered approach without the right guidance.\nThe Foreign Press Center has had discussions with Tara\nSonnenshine about interviews with the President; so I encourage\nthat we follow through with their suggestions. I know there is\nsome discussion about a lunch with both foreign and domestic\nreporters. I hope that the President's schedule can accommodate\nsome time, if lunch does not work out. (We did not do any print\ninterviews prior to the Normandy trip.)\nWe have indications that Strobe Talbott is willing to do a\nWorldNet on G-7 and Russia, but have not confirmed this.\nSec. Christopher has done some very successful WorldNets and an\noverview of the Summit would receive high placement and coverage.\nSec. Bentsen has yet to do a WorldNet, but he is much desired by\nthe posts for an overview of economic issues.\nAnthony Lake, Joan Spero, James Collins; Robert Fauver and\nLawrence Summers would be the options if the above three could\nnot participate.\nThe same names would be ideal for the Foreign Press Center with\nthe addition of Robert Rubin and Bowman Cutter. (Both have been\nvery well received in the past.)\nThrough the Wireless File we have had very good luck in placing\nbyliners by Senior officials. The following are suggestions to\nget as quickly as possible:\nACDA\nHolum\nG-7 and Nuclear Safety Issues\nEPA\nBrowner\nG-7 and Environmental Issues\nState\nWirth\nG-7 and Population Issues\nState\nSpero\nG-7 Trade Issues\nCommerce\nBrown\nG-7 Trade Issues\nState\nR. Johnson\nU.S. Assistance Program in Central\nand Eastern Europe\nState\nOxman\nPartnership for Peace\nU.S. and German Relationships could be addressed by any\nnumber of people.\nIt would be very useful to have some of the above do a telepress\nconference with some of our posts. This is very easy to do and\nthe officials can do them from their desks. We would arrange for\na small number of print reporters or other influentials to be at\nthe other end of a connected phone hook-up.\nFor Poland we understand the President is doing a TV interview.\nGen. Shalikashvilli would be a perfect choice to talk about PFP\nand other issues using a WorldNet interactive.\nA background briefing on Poland and Latvia would also add some\ndepth for journalists. This can be done either at the FPC or at\nthe office of the official selected (Sandy Vershbow would be the\nideal choice).\nI know that time is short and that many of the above suggestions\nwill not be able to be satisfied. Please get back to me to\ndiscuss how we can move ahead.

Clinton\nRemarks to the Baltic Peoples at Freedom Square\nRiga, Latvia\nJuly 6, 1994\nThank you President Ulmanis [OOL-mah-niss] for your gracious words, and your\nwarm welcome to this beautiful capital. My thanks also to Presidents Meri [merry] and\nPresident Brazauskas [brah-ZOW-skus] for your contributions to this historic event.\nTo the people of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia -- gathered in this square today,\nlistening or watching from afar, to all who have made this remarkable moment possible -- I\nam proud and honored to stand before you: the first President of the United States to set foot\non free and independent Baltic soil.\nToday is a day long overdue.\nToday we celebrate. We rejoice in a moment of renewal. And we summon the courage\nto forge ahead.\nToday we remember. We remember an August day, just five years ago, when the\npeoples of your nations joined hands against a common enemy. From Tallinn to Vilnius, a\nmillion strong, you reached across the borders of nations and the boundaries of fear. And\nhere, in this great square, that human chain of more than 400 miles found its center. You took\nyour countrymen's hands in yours. You wrapped yourselves around the base of this great\nmonument to freedom. You showed the peoples of the world the power of \"the Baltic Way.\"\nToday all of us take our places in that unbroken human chain.\nThat chain stretches back to your grandparents -- stolen from their homes, shipped off\nto the wastelands of Siberia, many never to return. Back to your fathers -- the Forest Brothers\n-- strong men who took to the woodlands to resist the foreign troops that occupied your\nhomelands. And to your young brothers and sisters, who held vigil over the bonfires of\nliberty, sang the songs of independence, and gave their lives for freedom.\nVabadus. [VAH-bah-deuce] Laisves. [LICE-vuss] Briviba. [BREE-vee-bah] Freedom.\nIn any language, it is the link that brings all of us -- Estonian, Lithuanian, Latvia and\nAmerican -- together.\nThat we stand here today at the center of the free Baltic nations is a testament to your\ncourage and strength. No matter the century, no matter the invader, you have proved that\nfreedom can conquer any foe. You have proved that freedom never dies when it lives in the\nhearts of men. You have shown the nations of the world that we must never take for granted\nthe liberties we enjoy. You have taught us never to give up. You have inspired us all.\nOur people and our nation have kept faith with you. For fifty years, we refused to\nrecognize the invading power. We kept your flags aloft in our capital. Many of your\ncountrymen sought refuge on our shores, always preparing for this day. They have returned to\nserve their homelands. And their lives will bring our nations ever closer, strengthening a chain\nthat reaches across the oceans.\nNow that you have seized your moment of renewal, rest assured that the United States\n2\nwill always stand with you. Today we pledge again to help make your markets free. To\nrestore your lands and to help your people prosper.\nAs you return to Europe's fold, we will be partners for peace and, together, find the\nroots of a more hopeful era. We have not rested and we will not rest -- until, two months\nfrom now, the last of the foreign troops vanish from your homelands. And today, in the name\nof the peoples of all free nations, we make a solemn pledge: never again will foreign invaders\noccupy Baltic soil.\nThe soldiers will leave but the memories will remain. As you move forward, I appeal\nto each and every one of your citizens -- from the busy coastal towns to the quiet country\nvillages. I appeal to you to summon what my nation's greatest healer, Abraham Lincoln,\ncalled the \"better angels of our nature.\" Never adopt the awful prejudices of those who\ninvaded your lands. Never deny others the justice and equality you demand for yourself. For\nprogress without tolerance is a destination without hope.\nThe shining figure of Liberty stands guard here today. The spirit of your peoples fills\nthe air.\nListen carefully and hear the songs of freedom that have echoed across the centuries.\nClose your eyes and see the candles and bonfires that lit the road to independence. Pause a\nmoment and feel the strength, feel the courage, that will keep the chain of freedom alive.\nThen breathe deeply and smell the flowers we have placed in honor of the heroes who\nhave renewed your nations. The blossoms will soon wither. But the memories of this day will\nlinger. The spirit of the Baltic soul will soar. The strong scent of freedom will never fade.\nJUNE 21, 1994\nMEMORANDUM FOR KATHY ROTH\nFROM:\nMAX KOLTUV\nRE:\nSUMMARY OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY'S TRIP TO BERLIN (1963)\nCrowd at Berlin City Hall speech\n*\ncrowd size: 150,000\ncrowd reaction: perhaps warmest of Kennedy Presidency\n-\nfrequent ovations\n-\nhigh emotion -- Red Cross reports 1,000 fainted\nfrom emotion\nSpeech: 11 minutes long, no translation\n*\nthemes:\n-\nanti-Communist stance\n-\nBerlin as symbol of freedom/Berliners as heroes\n-\nreiteration of US support and protection for\nGermany and Western Europe\nused German: \"Ich bein ein berliner\"\nused forward looking line: \"When we are all free, then\nwe can look forward to that day when this city will be\njoined as one and this country and this great continent\nof Europe in a peaceful and hopeful globe.
