MEMORANDUM FOR JOAN BAGGETT
SUBJECT: Talking Points On Health Care For AFL-CIO Meeting
FROM:
Mike Lux
I thought I would just give my ideas on talking points to you so
that you can incorporate them into your overall memorandum to the
President and Mrs. Clinton. Who says what on the issues is (at
least in my opinion) unimportant.
Health care talking points:
The labor movement has been leading the fight for universal
health care for over half a century. Now we have reached an
historic moment when we finally have a realistic chance to make
universal health care happen.
To finally achieve our goal, however, is going to take the
enthusiastic support of the entire labor movement. We will have
huge and wealthy special interests who will vehemently fight us
to the bitter end, simply because they make enormous money off
the current system. To beat those kind of opponents will take a
willingness for everyone who cares about health care reform to
work with this administration on putting together a plan, and
lobbying for that plan, one that will meet the needs and desires
of the American people.
Our plan will have as its core principles:
- universal coverage for all American citizens, regardless of
income, employment status, or health. We are still working the
numbers to figure out how soon we can afford to phase in
universal coverage, but we want it to be sooner rather than
later.
- a comprehensive benefits package that, on the benefits side,
will provide 90% or more of the benefits your members currently
have covered.
- tough cost controls both in the short and long term.
- far greater administrative simplicity than in our current
system.
- the ability of people to choose their own doctor in a fee-for-
service plan, or to choose managed care if they prefer.
We must have your help to make the dream of health care reform
happen. We hope you will devote every thing you can to this
battle so that together we will win.
DRAFT TALKING POINTS FOR VICE PRESIDENT GORE
FOR THE AFL-CIO MEETING
NOTE: Secretary Reich will open the meeting at 3:15 p.m. and
introduce you for you to introduce the President.
Thank you. As Secretary Reich said, it has been too long since
we were all together in this House. I remember talking with many
of you over the past 12 years about all of the things we could do
if we just had the White House. We could get things through the
Senate but the President would always veto them. Well, now we
have the White House and we've got to figure out how we get
things through the Senate. Your help, as always, is invaluable
in terms of not only helping us develop programs that can work,
but in getting them through the Senate and the House.
In all of the years I spent in Congress, I never observed a more
disciplined lobby than yours and we need that help to get this
country turned around. You and I both know that we have a
President that is ready to fight the gridlock we've experienced
for the past 12 years. It is my great pleasure to present him to
you today. Mr. President.

Re: The President's Economic
stimulus Package -- H.R. 1335
Dear Senator:
We are writing on behalf of 150,000 IUE members, and thou-
sands of former members who are among the unemployed, to urge
you to vote against the Kohl Amendment, the Boren-Breaux Amendment
and any other amendments which would weaken or delay the imple-
mentation of President Clinton's Economic Stimulus Package.
Our members and millions of other Americans elected Presi-
dent Clinton because they support his program for economic
recovery. The President's economic stimulus package is a vital
and necessary part of his recovery program. In spite of recent
reports that the recession is over, unemployment remains at
unacceptably high levels. The current unemployment rate of 7% is
higher than it was when the recession began in 1990. Every day
our union receives notice of additional major and permanent
layoffs. The jobless rate for Black Americans is a staggering
13.1%; for Hispanic workers the rate is 11.4%; and for teenagers
19.6%! Federal spending to create jobs NOW is urgently needed to
get the economy moving.
It would be a serious mistake to either reduce or delay the
spending outlined in the President's plan, and already passed by
the House. Any delays or cuts will undermine the essential pur-
pose of the stimulus bill -- to spur economic activity now in
order to give a boost to our weak economy.
We request that you support President Clinton's proposal.
The President has the support of the American people and he
deserves your support. The short-term stimulus package is critical
to the success of President Clinton's economic program. vote
against the Kohl Amendment, the Boren-Breaux Amendment and any
other efforts to undercut or delay the President's program.
Sincerely yours,

Re: The President's Economic stimulus Package
Dear Secretary Reich:
It was a pleasure to meet you (albeit briefly) prior to your
speech at the Industrial Union Department's Legislative Conference.
Your speech was excellent and so very refreshing after twelve
years of Reagan-Bush anti-labor policies. Following your speech,
I heard many positive comments from the delegates.
Your explanation of the President's economic stimulus
package was extremely cogent and timely. I wanted you to know
that the IUE delegates took it to heart and during their after-
noon lobbying appointments, urged several Senators to support
President Clinton's proposal.
In addition, in response to your request, and to the urging
of Senators Mitchell and Byrd, our top officers have sent the
enclosed letter, by fax today, to all U.S. Senators. We also will
be conducting a grass roots "call-in" and fax campaign to targeted
Senators, during the short time available prior to the votes on
the amendments and final passage of H.R. 1335.
Once again, I want to commend you, Mr. Secretary, for the
superb job you are doing. I also wish to take this opportunity to
thank you, once again, for your assistance to our union and to
the IBEW on the High Definition Television (HDTV) issue. I look
forward to working with you more in the coming years.

Joan:
Attached is a diagram of how we generally seat the Executive Council for regular
meetings either in the Council Room here or in other meeting rooms. Also enclosed is a
list of the names of the E.C. members in the order in which they are seated - Kirkland
at center with Donahue on his right and the vice-presidents then clockwise from
Kirkland's left.
There is no rhyme or reason to this; presidents get seated wherever the open seat
is located.
Please feel free to rearrange this in any way to suit the President's needs or
preferences. We're flexible, at least on seating!
The trade and industrial department officers and the four staff - Baker,
McDonald, Dunlop and Gilliam are not seated with the E.C. and do not need assigned
seating - put us anywhere in the room.
When Liz Gonchar and I spoke yesterday, I said that Bob Georgine should be
seated with the Executive Council. We have two people from the Public Employee
Department and two from Maritime Trades. By the way, this will be Jean Ingrao's last
E.C. Meeting. She retires as Secretary-Treasurer of Maritime Trades at the end of
May. Frank Pecquex is elected as her successor.
I faxed a list of everyone's social security numbers and birth dates to Liz last
night.
Call me on 637-5316 (or nights at 703-860-3459) if you need anything.

Re:
AFL-CIO Meeting
Tuesday, May 4
3 - 3:45 pm
Attached is a list of attendees for the meeting with the
President next Tuesday. There should be a total of 49
individuals from the AFL-CIO.
These participants have been invited by the AFL-CIO, and as Joan
mentioned on Wednesday, they will be walking over together from
the AFL-CIO building.
Additionally, I am sending a copy of their usual seating
arrangement. Joan believes it may quicker to have them arranged
as they are accustomed. If you agree, is it possible to have
place cards made for this purpose?
I will also fax you a list of expected White House and Department
of Labor staff.
Please call me at extension 6257 if you have any questions.
Thanks for your assistance.

MEETING WITH THE AFL-CIO EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
DATE:
May 4, 1993
LOCATION:
State Dining Room
TIME:
3:15 - 4:00 p.m.
From:
Joan N. Baggett
I. PURPOSE
You, the Vice President, and Secretary Reich, will be
meeting with the 35 union presidents who make up the AFL-CIO
Executive Council to thank them for their support of your
economic plan and to continue to lay the groundwork for them
to support your health care plan.
II. BACKGROUND
The AFL-CIO was one of the first supporters of your economic
plan and actively lobbied Congress for its passage,
particularly the jobs package. This will be your first
meeting with this group since your election. You did meet
with AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland just after taking
office. Mrs. Clinton has met with the AFL-CIO Task Force on
Health Care.
Given the limited time we have, I suggest we keep remarks as
brief as possible and keep them focused on health care since
that is the next big initiative. I would say their
strongest concern in this area is the possible taxation of
benefits and the form it would take. Other issues that may
come up in questions are as follows:
NAFTA -- They hate it. The best we can hope for is to get
good enough supplementals on labor that they will quietly
oppose it and not launch a major lobbying campaign. They
can be very effective, particularly in the House. They also
feel strongly that there are key things within the agreement
that need to be fixed and that the supplementals are only
part of the answer. The AFL-CIO leadership has tried to get
them to hold their fire until after the supplementals are
completed, but some of the larger and more vocal affiliates
say that we are promoting its passage before it's complete
and they should be actively working for its defeat.

TALKING POINTS FOR PRESIDENT CLINTON
FOR THE AFL-CIO MEETING
First of all, let me add my welcome to all of you. I hear about
the consultations that Secretary Reich and my staff have with all
of you, but since this is the first formal meeting with all of us
together here at the White House, I just wanted to tell you how
much I appreciate everything you did during the election.
I also want you to know how much I value your support on the
economic plan. I know you were as disappointed as I was when the
Republicans stonewalled our jobs package. It makes no sense to
me that you would vote to extend unemployment benefits, but vote
against jobs. Contrary to the press reports you saw, we did try
to work with the moderate Republicans, just as you did, but it
became clear that they were more interested in playing partisan
political games than in working out a deal for the American
people.
Nonetheless, we are going to keep plugging away to get our
investment package and our entire economic program through
Congress, so any help you can give with reconciliation and
appropriations would be very helpful.
There are obviously a lot of issues that we could spend time on
this afternoon, but I think you will agree with me that the
health care issue has to be our top priority for the coming
months. The labor movement has been leading the fight for
universal health care for over a half a century and we finally
have a realistic chance to make it happen.
of course, our opponents understand that as well. When we
unveiled our economic plan, it was pretty early in the ballgame
and the lobbyists took a while to gear up for the fight. That's
not the case with health care. Everyone with a stake in this
issue has been busy beefing-up their lobbying and advertising
budgets. Ironically, the only jobs we seem to have increased so
far involve lobby registrations, particularly in the health care
field. But, the bottom line is we can do this together. It's
going to take an incredible amount of teamwork to beat back the
other side, but we have the capacity to do just that.

I know that Hillary has met with many of you to get your input
and discuss possible options, but since we're getting closer to
finalizing the various elements, I thought it would be helpful to
spend some time discussing where we are. Our plan will have as
its core principles:
- universal coverage for all American citizens, regardless of
income, employment status, or health. We are still working the
numbers to figure out how soon we can afford to phase in
universal coverage, but we want it to be sooner rather than
later.
- a comprehensive benefits package that, on the benefits side,
will provide 90% or more of the benefits your members currently
have covered.
- tough cost controls both in the short and long term.
- far greater administrative simplicity than in our current
system.
- the ability of people to choose their own doctor in a fee-for-
service plan, or to choose managed care if they prefer.
As I've said we can do this together and I want to hear about any
obstacles here that we may not be seeing. But before I open it
up for comments and questions, I'd like to ask Hillary if she has
anything to add since she has been spending her entire time on
this one issue for the past 100 days.
