RESTORE PRINCIPLES OF EQUALITY AND NONDISCRIMINATION
TO FEDERAL LAW:
SPONSOR "THE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY ACT OF 1995"
July 26, 1995
Dear Colleague:
Tomorrow, Henry Hyde, Susan Molinari, Tillie Fowler, Roger
Wicker and I will be introducing "The Equality opportunity Act of
1995." Companion legialation will be introduced by Senator Dole
and other senators. This legislation 10 designed to restore the
principles of nondiscrimination and equal opportunity to federal
law.
The Act does this in two ways. First, it prohibits the use
of racial and gender preferences by the federal government in
awarding and administering federal contracts, hiring and
promoting federal workers, and administering federally conducted
programs or activities. Second, it prohibits the federal
government from requiring or encouraging federal contractors or
supcontractors to grant racial or gender preferences with respect
to their employees, suppliers or aubcontracts. The Act defines
"preference" as "any preferential treatment,' including but not
limited to quotas, sut acides, goals, timetables, and other
numerical objectives.
Significantly, while our bill would do away altogether with
such preforences, it expressly preserves the Tederal government's
ability to engage in nondiesriminatory outcoach, recruiting, and
marketing efforts. Our 6:11 protects genuine, nondiacriminatory
practices aimed at enhancing opportunity, while putting an end to
federal programs that grant preferences to some persons based
solely upon their membership in certain recial and gender groups.
This legislation does not affoot the existing anti-
disortmination laws in any manner whatsoever, and 30 maintains
the tull range of remedies surrently available to proven victims
of racial or gender-based discrimination. Moreover, our
legislation applies only to the federal government; it does not
affect proference programs adopted or administered by state and
local governments, private sector entities, or educational
institutions, unless those programs were adopted pursuant to
requirements imposed upon the entity because it is a federal
contractor.

THE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY ACT OF 1995
The Equal Opportunity Act of 1995 1s designed to restore to
federal law the principles OT nondiscrimination and equal
opportunity.
The 6111 contains TWO main operative provisions:
(1) Prohibits the use of racial and gender preferences by
the federal government in:

activities
(2) Prohibits the federal government from requiring or
encouraging rederal contractors or supcontractors to grant
racial or gender preferences with respect to their
employees, suppliers, or subcontracts.
The Act defines "preference" as "any proferential treatment"
including but not limited to quotas, set-asides, goals,
timetables, and other numerical objectives.
The Act preserves the ability to engage in nondiscriminatory
outreach, recruiting and marketing efforts, provided that
such efforts do not involve racial or gender preferences.
The bill does not afrect the existing antidiacrimination
laws In any manner whatsoever, and so maintains the full
range of remedies currently available to proven viotims OT
racial or gender-based discrimination.
The ACT also contains exemptions for historically Black
colleges, Indian tribes, combat-related and national
security functions, and gender-based bona fide occupational
qualifications.
As indicated above, the 0111 applies only to the federal
government; it does not affect preference programs adopted
or administered by state and local governments, private
sector entities, or educational institutions, Unless those
programs were adopted pursuant to requirements imposed upon
the entity because it: is a federal contractor.
If you wish to be an original cosponsor, please phone Bill
McGrath (* 67680) no later than noon on Thursday, July 27.

FROM:
Debbie Fine
SUBJECT:
Miscellaneous Follow Up Before Vacation
1. Base Voter Meeting
We agreed that you would call Andy Hernandez Mondy AM to very briefly discuss the
agenda for this meeting, scheduled for Monday, 1PM in room 180.
When you speak to him, he will likely raise the specialty press call -- scheduled for Tuesday.
2. Phone calls:
Following are several calls that you either agreed to make or that others may be expecting
you to make. (Please let me know if any of these are a problem.)
Eric Fanning
703/693-0428
(Please note that William Waybourne, Victory Fund, called to urge you to hire him. I
explained the circumstances in very general terms.)
Teen pregnancy calls
The following individuals hve been sent invitations to the 9/13 teen pregnancy meeting.
Jeremy Ben-Ami mentioned that you agreed to make follow-up calls to them, which should
be made this week if posssible:
Andy Young
404/224-1950
John Pepper
513/983-1100
P&G
Sharon Buffett
508/645-9829 or 508/645-9686
(This is actually Ann Jordan's number in the Vineyard, where Jeremy thought Mrs. Buffett is
is vacationing. The invitation was sent to both Warren and Sharon Buffett.)
Susan Berresford
(tracking number)
Ford Foundation
3. Specialty Press
a. A conference call has been set up for Tuesday for you, Peggy Lewis, Andy Hernandez,
and Cheryl at the DNC who does specialty press.
Currently there is no official agenda -- Peggy would like more information on the 'agenda' if
possible.
Do you want Flo included?
YES
NO
Do you want Lee included?
YES
NO
b. I talked to Peggy about placing an editorial in a black and an hispanic journal on the
minority women side to the suffragette piece. You had framed it as "The Untold Story". She
will take a stab at it, but seemed to want some more direction and may raise it with you.
Also, in terms of timeframe, she will likely want you to read it and give feedback on it before
sending it in, but she will definitely not have it done before you go. What is the timeframe
on this -- does it have to be August?
How do you want to link up Uncle Nat (sp?) or Dorothy Height with her?
Do you have a preference between the two?
4. Affirmative Action
a. We need to sit down with a couple of lists to try to capture VIPs that you spoke with to
invite to the afac speech and to the CEO meeting that were supportive but who could not
make it. We ought to send them a letter from POTUS and the speech; Chris needs these as
soon as possible. (i.e. today)
b. Is there follow up that needs to be done with the journalists that had dinner at Vernon
Jordan's house with you on affirmative action?
YES
NO
If so, what?
C. We need to review the binder summarizing affirmative action rollout, etc that Chris Wayne
put together for any edits. This way there will be time for him to rework it for you to look at
once again before turning it in.
d. Kellan Winslow (Football Hall of Famer)
Do you want to call him to invite him in for something?
YES
NO
5. Mayors Dinner:
Is there follow-up that needs to be done on the Mayor's dinner that you recently held?
6. Seniors/Budget strategy:
a. Do you want to meet with Marilyn and Andrei together prior to your vacation?
YES
NO
b. Do you want to pursue the two seniors group meetings we discussed?
YES
NO
If so, for when?
c. Horace Deets:
You had mentioned wanting to get him in for lunch a couple weeks ago. For several reasons
this went on hold. Do you still want to puruse this?
(If it isn't being done already, it seems like some thought ought to be given to the long-term
strategy of how we work with the AARP and National Committee to Preserve Social Security
and Medicare, in terms of maximizing our relationship with them.)
7. District of Columbia
Following up on the DC meeting on Friday:
a. Do you want me to call Alice Rivlin's office (Ed Deseve?) to find out when they were
planning to have the inter-agency meeting again so that you can get in touch with Eleanor
Holmes Norton?
YES
NO
b. What kind of follow up do you want to do on the politics of this? (i.e. a meeting with a
different group of people? a series of phone calls?)
8. Minority Contractors
Have you gotten much response from the agencies on your request for top 10 women and
minority contractors at the Cabinet COS breakfast 1-2 months ago?
a. Should Lee or I contact Cabinet Affairs on this?
YES
NO
b. Do you somehow want to plug this into affirmative action Phase III?
YES
NO
9. Beijing Delegation/ J. Jackson
Betsy recommended that you call Melanne to talk about the Jacqueline Jackson joining the
U.S. delegation. As you know, because they are so far along in the process, it will be
difficult to get her on the delegation, so it seems like it would be worthwhile to pursue it with
Melanne in addition to your other efforts.
Let me know how I can help.
10. CEOs
You mentioned in a meeting recently to Kate that you wanted to talk more about CEO
strategy; did you and Kate ever meet?
YES
NO
If not, do you want to try to do that before you go?
YES
NO
11. National Black State Legislators Conference
Did you ever speak to John Rogers (state senator from AL) or anyone else about POTUS
going to the National Black State Legislators Conference in Alabama Nov. 28 to Dec 1?
YES
NO
ACTION?:
(I also have a note into Ben on this. According to Intergovernmental, NBSL is claiming that
John spoke to you.)
12. Carol Mosely Braun
While I was in Moscow, Amy Billinglsy connected with Carol Mosely Braun's office on the
requested POTUS fundraiser. They had said any week night in Washington while the Senate
was in session before the end of the year, or participation in a gala in the fall in Chicago.
(Date TBD)
As I remember, the request was with Harold, who was checking with the President, mid-July.
Has there been any resolution on this?
YES
NO
Do we need to do any follow-up here?
YES
NO
13. Reminder on memos you mentioned wanting to get in the system before vacation:
budget
tobacco
Affirmative Action Summary
14. Other issues for you and Lee to close out with our staff prior to vacation if you
haven't already:

RE:
FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE "RED LINE"
It was brought to my attention by Judy Lichtman, President, Women's Legal Defense Fund,
and who's organization coordinated the coalition which worked for years on the passage of
H.R. 1, "the Family and Medical Leave Act," that members of the coalition never received
copies of the "red line" for H.R. 1. Todd Stern recently approved the request for the "red
line"and we are ready to send them out to the coalition members. This request is timely and
important for the President's first piece of legislation as he recently highlighted the two year
anniversary of the legislation in his radio address at the Children's Inn at the National
Institutes of Health on August 5, 1995.
I have enclosed a draft letter for your approval.

DRAFT
Dear:
As we mark the two-year anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act, I would like to
A
share with you a copy of the Presidents first piece of legislation he signed into law. I have
also enclosed a copy of the President's radio address highlighting this event at the Children's
Inn, National Institutes of Health, on August 5, 1995.
On behalf of the White House, I want to personally thank you for your efforts. Without your
persistence, dedication, and commitment to the issue, this legislation would not have
become law.

MEMORANDUM TO ALEXIS HERMAN
CC:
LEE SATTERFIELD
FROM:
FLO MCAFEE 7a
RE:
SEPTEMBER 8 RELIGIOUS BREAKFAST
I.
BACKGROUND
This year will mark the third annual post-Labor Day religious breakfast. There
are two major things to consider for this breakfast: (1) the President should
have a more extended conversation with the religious leaders than he usually
allows; and (2) the focus should be on topics related to "common ground"
allowing for the discussion to be centered around what religious leaders are
doing to bring people together to help solve many of the challenges facing their
communities, congregations and the country.
The media message should be shaped around "What is Right With America."
The President's remarks should provide him with an opportunity to lay out his
vision for the nation over the next several months (the fall and winter initiatives)
emphasizing the common ground perspective.
We should ask for 2 hours of Presidential time from 9:00 to 11:00 am for the
breakfast.
II.
BREAKFAST FORMAT/AGENDA
A.
Approximately 120 guests (100 clergy and 20 administration officials)
seated at 12 tables of 10 with an Administration officials serving as table
hosts.
B.
Agenda:
8:30 am:
Guests arrive (juices served during mix and mingle)
9:00 am:
President arrives
9:05 am:
Invocation
9:10am:
Breakfast served
9:45 am
President gives brief remarks than an informal discussion
on "common ground" issues. This discussion includes
Q&A (1 hour discussion).
10:45 am
Conclude discussion and have benediction
10:50 am
Guests Depart
III.
HANDOUTS
A packet of materials to be given to each breakfast guest will include the series
of "common ground" speeches and a survey. The survey will elicit information
on what common ground-type activities are being done in local communities;
and recommendations or ideas on what more can be done through sector
partnerships. The information derived from the surveys will give us possible
sites the President could visit when he is on the road.
IV.
INVITATION LIST
In compiling the invitation list, two categories must be considered: (1) national
religious leaders and opinion makers; and (2) local, regional clergy people. The
national leaders (heads of religious organizations, etc.) will be provide the
national news interest and the regional clergy will be good for local media.
Recommended names have come from Political Affairs (they worked with
the DNC), the Department of Education, Linda Lader, OPL and names
submitted by the President throughout the year.
V.
POST-BREAKFAST BRIEFING
There have been both pros and cons to having a briefing following the
breakfast for clergy not invited to the breakfast. The pros are: (1) it's a good
opportunity to invite more religious leaders to discuss the common ground
issues; and (2) it will allow the White House to touch more people. The cons
are while some may travel to Washington for the briefing, they may feel
offended that they will be here the same day that the President meets with
some ministers, et al, and not with others. The question many will ask is how
were some chosen to eat with the President and others not. It is difficult to
follow the Mexico state arrival model because the side events are all related to
one big event where people see the President, or at least be in his presence at
the State Arrival, and at either the after dinner entertainment activity, OAS lunch
or some other activity.
Option #1: Set up a large screen in OEOB 450 and invite 160 regional clergy
and the Washington reps of denominations and religious organizations in to
hear the discussion and Q&A section of the breakfast. We can have them
submit questions through a direct telephone hook-up in the State Dining Room.
Option #2: One possible post-briefing could be on Americorps since they want
to update the religious community on what's going on with the organization and
the upcoming legislation. I have been working with Americorps to set up a
briefing, but to no avail because the people they want to attend are on
vacation on the date the want to hold their briefing.
VI.
FOLLOW-UP
Follow-up will include sending a transcript of the breakfast remarks to all
guests; reviewing the surveys and compiling the recommendations,
suggestions, etc.; and sending a compilation of the survey to everyone.
VII.
TIMELINE
August 11:
Collect all recommended guest names (completed)
Reserve OEOB 450 for breakfast (completed 8/10)

Provide President with the background memo on the
event and the preliminary list of guests.

JOAN BAGGETT

AON
From: Caren Wilcox
Date: October 31, 1994
Subject: Primaries in 1995
While I was home in Pennsylvania I was discussing politics and
taking temperatures regarding Senator Harris Wofford.
In one of those discussions with someone, who is from Scranton
and is now in state government and very close to Governor Casey,
we were discussing why Casey has not visibly supported either
Singel or Wofford.
As part of that conversation, this person said that it is well
known in Casey's inner circle that, if his health will permit it,
he intends to run in the New Hampshire primary against the
President in 1995. I asked who was urging him to do so, and the
answer was: The Catholic Conference and the anti-abortion
people.
Of course, he is very close to Cardinal Krol in Philadelphia and
I believe the Cardinal of New York is from Scranton. In
addition, Bishop Keeler, head of the Council of Bishops of the
U.S. and newly named a Cardinal this weekend, was Bishop of
Harrisburg, PA for many years.
I will make a few more calls to try to determine the validity of
this rumor.

MEMORANDUM
APR
TO:
Harold Ickes, Alexis Herman, Doug Sosnik, and
Melanne Verveer
FROM:
Michael Hudson
DATE:
April 13, 1995
Thanks again for inviting me to visit about countering the
Radical Right within the electoral context. I am deeply committed
to working with you however I can over the next 82 weeks. I'll be
back in Washington for an extended period, April 28 - May 3, and
hope we might use that period to move ahead. The following are
progress reports on the various issues we discussed:
1) DNC Staff -- I met with Bill Wassermann yesterday and
determined that he is available and eager to take a lead
responsibility for coordinating the Right-Wing activities out of
the DNC. He was to have called Melanne yesterday about how to
proceed. I spoke with several other knowledgeable folks, and they
confirmed that Wassermann was indeed the best choice.
2) Strategy Coordination -- I have spoken with colleagues about
convening ongoing strategy/message/vision discussions; they agree
this is critical. You were to talk with Don Fowler about convening
the first meeting. If feasible, May 3 is a good date for NEA,
People For and me. I will be back then and would be pleased to
help pull this initial discussion together. After the initial
meeting convened by Fowler it would be simple for Bill Wassermann,
or whoever leads the effort at the DNC, to convene regular monthly
meetings through the November 1996 elections. The initial core
groups include: NEA, People For, AAUW, Interfaith Alliance,
Planned Parenthood, and NCJW/Jewish agencies (David Saperstein).
I think it's better to start small with groups who share the vision
and then expand later. Of course, these policy discussions would
respect the non-partisan, non-profit nature of the groups.

3) Training Party Candidates and Organizations -- After our
meeting, I had a chance to talk with Matt Angle at the DCCC. He
too had just returned from the White House and seemed enthused
about efforts to coordinate your election activities. He indicated
that they were ready to proceed in designing some training and
wants to get together with me on my next trip back to D.C. I would
be available to sit down then with the DNC, DCCC, DSCC and others
to help design a Radical Right component for their ongoing training
programs.
4) Mainstream Voter Mobilization Project -- On Wednesday, I met
with senior officials at the National Education Association and
confirmed their interest in working to mobilize progressive voters.
This project would be non-partisan and run outside Party efforts.
I have arranged an initial meeting between People For the American
Way Action Fund and the NEA on May 3 to discuss the targeted state
campaign. Prior to that time, I will expand my memo on specific
plans for this project, to include the targeted states, and will
share that with you.
Harold, you have a unique opportunity to move this program
forward in your luncheon appearance with the Board of People For
the American Way on May 2, which coincidentally is being held at
the NEA building. If you could stress the importance of People For
the American Way Action Fund (our 501 (C) (4) arm) participating in
voter education and mobilization efforts, that would encourage the
Board to move forward. As we have mentioned before, these
activities can be carried out by our C-4 Action Fund, which has the
same status as the Christian Coalition. So, your encouragement of
our Board is one way to move some of these projects ahead.
Thanks again for this opportunity. I look forward to working
with you on a regular basis, and please do not hesitate to call
when I can be of assistance. We can make a difference!

Re:

RE: LIST FOR CATHOLIC PRESS BRIEFING
3/7/95
I've gone through the Catholic press directory and have a list to recommend. The total
invitees is about 140, and considering the fact that SO many of these papers are low-
budget and/or distant, we should have less than 100 acceptances.
This is how I arrived at the list:
506 L 8vW
1)
I began with all diocesan papers with circulation above 20,000; this came to 92
names.
2)
I added four national papers. (The 5th, The Wanderer, is a far, far, far, right-
wing publication and we should discuss whether or not to invite it. If we invite them,
they can be disruptive and if we don't invite them, they say we discriminated against
them. These people make Phil Gramm look like Jesse Jackson.)
3)
I added four national magazines that cover news.
4)
I added diocesan papers with circulations between 15,000 and 20,000. This
added 28 names.
5)
I added papers with less than 15,000 circulation if a) they were in kev cities or b)
they were in states that did not have another invitation. This added 7 names.
Part of the problem is that there's no relationship between the size of the Catholic
population and the size of the paper's circulation. The largest circulation paper is in
Galveston-Houston, and Chicago and Detroit don't have the largest papers in their
states.
On the other hand, there is good circulation in a lot of secondary markets that don't
normally get covered, particularly outside the major cities in Illinois, Ohio, and
Pennsylvania.
Let me know what you think.
And how are we coming on a date?

KEYS TO EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
IN THE MILITARY SERVICES
A. "SUCCESS STORY"?
Early adoption of EO policy -- Executive Order 9981, 1948
Desegregation began in Korea -- worked well
Big growth in minority representation during AVF era
"Success" applies primarily to African-Americans and the Army
EO is work in progress -- women not well represented because of "combat exclusion;
harassment and discrimination are strongly discouraged, but still happen
Successes of uniformed military have not carried over to DoD civilian workforce
B. KEYS TO SUCCESS
1. Necessity
late 1940s -- EO 9981 driven by shortage of draft-age white males
Korean War -- racial desegregation driven by combat losses
Viet Nam War -- EO programs developed in response to racial tensions and black
enlistees' resentment at lack of black NCOs and officers
mid-1970s -- openings for women driven by shortage of male volunteers
2. Control
closed system, relatively isolated, distinctive values (cohesion, mission)
clear performance standards, including tests for most enlisted promotions
job-specific training
pay and benefits determined by rank, not by occupation
tools for EO and AA tied to larger system of controls, e.g.,
-- officer evaluatons (OERs) -- EO is one of the elements
-- promotion boards -- assume similar promotion rates, force a
"second look" if assumption doesn't pan out
-- DEOMI -- nation's largest and oldest EO training program
3. Commitment
o explains differing rates of growth in minority representation in leadership ranks
-- number of Army generals doubled during late '70s, then levelled off in '80s
-- Secretary Perry's March 3, 1994 memo on EO: renewed commitment
explains changes in role of women
-- e.g., Bush commission on assignment of women VS. Aspin/Perry decisions
C. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CIVILIAN WORKFORCE
o Necessity -- President Clinton's point that "we don't have people to waste": EO as an
economic necessity
Control -- hard to duplicate in most civilian workplaces
Commitment -- leaders influence attitudes, behavior and programs

RE:
Names for White House Country and Western Women Event
On behalf of the DNC, we are writing to recommend the names listed below be invited to the Country
and Western Women in Music event to be held at the White House. As always, the names listed below
are submitted in priority order.
Mindful of the concerns expressed in 2 recent "list development" meeting that many of the names
submitted are "old, tired and often submitted," I would like to point out that the DNC has made a real
attempt to provide new and previously unsubmitted names for this dinner. Therefore, please be aware
that any names listed below who have been included on our previously recommended guest lists are
being resubmitted here because we are not confident they have been appropriately recognized or because
recent activities merit their inclusion, again, at a White House event.
This list represents the top priorities from each division at the DNC, as well as the top two priorities
from each sub-division of the DNC's Campaign Division (the several Political and Constituency desks,
Intergovernmental, etc. These names represent some of our highest priorities, and we would like to have
each uninvited name reconsidered from event to event until all have been included at some White House
function.
If you need additional information about any of the names on the following list, please contact me at
863-7177. Thank you for your consideration.

RE
WOMENS' OUTREACH AND LYNN CUTLER
Maggie, this is a follow up to our brief discussion today
concerning my meeting with Iris Burnett.
Although the discussion was broader than what this memo will
address, the bottom line is that Iris was making a strong pitch
that Lynn Cutler, by way of her firm, The Kamber Group, be hired
by the DNC as a political consultant for womens' outreach.
According to Iris, Lynn has given Chairman Fowler a proposal (she
thinks $15,000/month) to do this work.
Iris is deeply concerned about many issues concerning the
womens' base, she is also particularly concerned about the
upcoming conference on women in Beijing in September of 1995.
As you probably know, there is some notoriety surrounding
this conference generating from Representatives Pelosi and
Mikulski concerning Mrs. Clinton's possible participation.
Although we did not discuss this particular concern in depth, it
was my impression that Iris is confident that given the proper
level of communication among those involved in planning the
conference (White House Office of Personnel and the State
Department) and members of Congress, the concerns are manageable.
With regard to her specific concern surrounding the Beijing
conference, she made a point of stressing her concern about the
45 person delegation. She believes that Lynn Cutler would be
extraordinarily helpful and effective in this process.
Iris also said that Veronica Biggins has told her that there
is a list forming but that when the subject comes up elsewhere,
no one wants to discuss it. She raised many points, not the
least of all, having no control or good vet on those who are
selected to be part of the 45 member delegation.

MARTIN LUTHER KING HISTORIC SITE AND THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
In the Fall, 1994, the National Park Service (NPS) and representatives of the Martin
Luther King Family -Coretta Scott King and Dexter King-- became involved in an
unfortunate public dispute about the construction of NPS facilities In the Martin
Luther King Historic Site In Atlanta, Georgia. Although she had previously
supported the NPS construction, Mrs. King and Dexter King wanted to stop the
NPS construction because of their concern that the NPS construction would
interfere with their ability has living heirs to portray Dr. King's legacy as they are
uniquely qualified to do. Specifically, the King Family is interested in building a
multi-media, Interactive King Museum at which visitors could learn about Dr. King's
legacy and the Civil Rights Movement. In addition, the King Family hopes that
their King Museum will provide financial security and Independence to the King
Center for Non-Violence. Presently, the King Center relles heavily on annual
donations or grants by individuals, public charities, private corporations and the
Federal government.
The reason that the dispute took on such public significance is because the NPS
construction was the product of several years of lobbying by local neighborhood
representatives, the Georgia congressional delegation (especially Representative
John Lewis), previous Atlanta Mayors, and the sitting Mayor of Atlanta --Bill
Campbell. The NPS construction is a $11.8 million project for visitor facilities
(e.g. visitors' center, parking lot, plaza and promenade). The NPS construction Is
intended to anchor a larger development program for the Auburn Avenue corridor
where the King Historic Site is located. In reliance on the NPS construction, local,
state and private entities have agreed to $50 to $75 million of Infrastructure and
new business development in this area. All of this development is designed to be
completed in time for the 1996 Olympics.
Because the King Family dispute had escalated, In January 1995, Rep. John Lewis
hosted a meeting of the major stakeholders, which included Dexter King, Mayor
Campbell, representatives of the NPS and Secretary Babbitt's office, local
neighborhood representatives, and Ambassador Andrew Young. After a rather
intense session that lasted over six hours, these representatives reached an
agreement to work In partnership in the King Historic Site and to settle the public
feuding. This partnership is based upon the following principles: (a) the King
Center will play the leading role In the King Historio Site; (b) the NPS construction
will move forward as planned; (c) the NPS will consult with the King Center and
King Family on any Interpretive activities involving Dr. King's legacy; and (d) the
NPS will provide the King Center and the King Family with technical assistance on
the proposed King Museum and other projects. The King Family and the NPS are
moving forward very well in their working partnership. In early March, Dexter King
announced that in light of his partnership with the NPS, he was resuming NPS
tours of Dr. King's childhood home (these tours had been cancelled by Dexter In
December 1994).

Dear Reverend Johnson
You and your colleagues, Garth Reeves and Athalie
Range have made a wonderful contribution to the development of the
Maimi Community by your unselfish service for 25 years. Your
pioneering in the job training for the jobless has given hope to
replace despair for thousands of young peeople. They have become
responsible, hardworking, taxpaying citizens and community
builders. This is consistent with the Rev. Leon Sullivan's self
help concepts and his theme "Build Brother Build".
This is consistent with what my administration is trying
to do by adopting policies that will change conditions in our inner
cities. We want to work in partnership with community based
organizations like OIC to provide job opportunities and the
necessary training to equip young people to fill those jobs
Now let me congratulate you, the founders of the Miami-
Dade County OIC. A grateful community appreciates what you have
done and the example you have set. Kindly extend to Publisher Garth
Reeves and Businesswoman Athalie Range my best wishes for the
growth and expansion of their good works in the days and years
ahead.

I am writing you this appeal for an "in kind

develop in 1994 for helping the Miami Community help itself through
job training and job development The Miami-Dade County O.I,C. is
organized to help individuals through motivational, attitudinal and
skills training to become responsible job holders and citizens.
On October 29th and 30th OIC will be observing its silver
anniversary after 25 years of community service. There will be a
banquet at the Marriott Hotel on Saturday night and a Public Rally
at Canaan Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon Naturally,
we
would
hope that you can support the banquet and/or the souvenir program.
However it is equally important for O.I.C to recieve from you an
"in kind" contribution.
This can take the form of materials or work on the clean
up fix up, paint up, refurnish and equip the building in which OIC
headquarters is currently operating.
We have authorized the bearer of this letter, Mr. Carl
Mitchell to solicit "in kind contributions" on our behalf. We trust
that you will extend to him the courtesies and response that you
can on such short notice.
Thank you sincerely,

THE WHITE HOUSE
COMMUNICATIONS PROPOSAL
APRIL 1995
Strategy Committee Recommendation:
Frances Friedman
Vanessa Weaver
Rosemary O'Brien
Lisa Lederer
OVERVIEW
The problem is communication. Despite Clinton Administration
accomplishments on issues of concern to women, the perception
persists that the President has not delivered on his promises. At
the same time, we have not effectively communicated the grave risks
to women that are posed by Newt Gingrich's Contract With America.
Complicating our own communications efforts is an opposition
strategy that uses "trigger" words and phrases that are divisive
and demeaning to programs once considered good for America. They
have succeeded in muddying the waters and confusing the electorate.
The Clinton Administration's record to date addresses women's
most heartfelt concerns about themselves and their families. It is
essential to our program to communicate the very real values the
Administration shares with the vast majority of the nation's women
and to show that the Administration has taken action on these value
issues. At the same time, we want to be more vigorous in our
outrage against legislation proposed by the Contract With America
that puts women and their families at risk.
3
To do this, we will be recommending a communications style
that is based on inclusive, value-focused language. We want to
talk heart-to-heart to American women who, our own polls show, do
not respond to abstract principles or achievements.
In this program we want to talk to all American women on the
many issues and concerns shared by the vast majority. Although it
is beyond the scope of this mission which will focus on
women in general, the White House will want to address separately
the primary concerns of women of different ethnic, racial, age and
economic groups. As your own polls indicate, not all women have
prioritized the same issues. Just as leading marketers do, the
White House will want to complement the universal outreach to women
proposed here with targeted messages and media outlets to reach
different groups:
Non-college educated women
Women in business
African American, Latino, Jewish and other ethnic groups
Students
Seniors
4
Just a word of caution. As we launch this effort, it is
important to recognize that journalism has moved very rapidly from
a profession to a business, mostly concerned with news that sells.
The result is a media in a "gotcha" pose, much more receptive to
attack and bad news than to a good story. That means we must all
stay focused and be consistent in our messages. We must also
realize everything we say -- even "off the record" -- in most
instances is for publication.
With all these things in mind, we suggest the following
program goal and strategies.
5
GOAL
To translate the Administration's commitment to promoting the
status of women and its commitment to, and actions on, issues of
concern to women into an effective communications program.
6
STRATEGY
O To conduct an issue-oriented, value-focused communications
program that highlights Administration policies and achievements
O To create higher visibility for women in government and
their special accomplishments
To maintain better message control on policy concerns
through more frequent, more consistent and more personalized media
contact
O To use issue-oriented themes in all efforts to increase
awareness of the role of women in government
O To respond to women's voices, by talking about real people,
not policy, and using new, positive words and expressions
O To explore broader options in radio, television, and
alternative media that are, in fact, the news sources for large
segments of the population we wish to reach
O To monitor program for consistency and effectiveness

As a follow up to our meeting a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to let you know that
I have identified someone who I think would be an excellent candidate to be the day-to-day
director of the project that we discussed. He is Dan Carol, who was the opposition research
director at the DNC in 1991 and 1992 and did a great job. Dan is presently working on the
West Coast, but I have spoken to him on a preliminary basis and he seems interested. He will
likely be in Washington during the week of April 24-28, and this would be an opportunity to
pursue the matter further with him, assuming you consider it appropriate. Could you let me
know if you, Alexis or Doug Sosnik might have a few minutes available to meet in this regard
with Dan and myself while he is here.
With best wishes.

Re:
Status
Yesterday Arthur Jones of National Catholic Reporter called me and asked me to confirm
that I was the new Catholic liaison for the Office of Public Liaison. I said I couldn't confirm
that because that wasn't what I was going to do. He said he'd write it anyway. I don't know
what his source was
I told him that I'd done some informal consulting for the Public Liaison office, that we were
discussing a more formal consulting role but that all the is hadn't been dotted and all the ts
hadn't been crossed. I said I would be working on an upcoming briefing for the Catholic
press.
I think this started when Bill Donohue at the Catholic League mentioned me in his
newsletter. I had called him off the record last October to feel him out when they were
attacking "anti-Catholicism" in the Clinton administration. He quoted a few things I said out
of context and then tried to suggest that I was responsible for the infamous White House
meeting with Catholics for a Free Choice, Priests for Equality, etc., even though I had
made it clear to him that I had nothing to do with that meeting.
In any event, this is likely to take on a life of its own once NCR runs it.
I told Jones what I did because he caught me off guard and because I was too
embarrassed to say that I hadn't heard anything in the 8 weeks since Alexis told me she'd
get me together with Don Fowler as early as the next week.
I'm passing this on so that you're not blindsided if NCR does run something but also
because it's just not right to go this long without even an update about what's going on. We
have a May 23 date for the Catholic press briefing and there are other things to do as well;
I can't do them unless my arrangement with the DNC is set..

SUBJECT: WH Volunteer
Dr. Devgan thinks I spoke with him last month regarding his
daughter. She wanted to volunteer. Told him that this summer's
internship has been filled and if she were interested, she could
apply for the Fall / Winter/ Spring programs. He was very much
interested in that.
So, would you please send him an internship application for his
daughter Lara.
Lara is currently interning in Sen. John Kerry's Washington
office. She will be here through July 7. Dr. Devkin wants her to
be invited to any White House young people-type function including
the July 4th events. She is only 16 years old and he wants to
make sure that she is taken care of.
Dr. Devgan told me he is a DNC Trustee and that his friend Dr.
Gupta of Florida raised $250,000 for the party. (I don't know one
way or another.)

RE:
V-J DAY OPL ACTIVITIES
I.
OVERVIEW
For the V-J Day activities, OPL serves as the veterans liaison for the White House
working with the World War II Committee, Veterans Affairs, NSC, CINCPAC
(Commander in Chief of the Pacific), Communications and Scheduling and Advance.
Since this is the last in a series of WWII celebrations, the media interest is high (two
networks will broadcast live from Hawaii) as well as expectations. There are two
equally important categories of activities: Pre-Hawaii and Hawaii. Pre-Hawaii
activities include vetting the key veterans and making sure their transportation,
housing and event arrangements are in order. The Hawaii activities include
overseeing all the intricate logistics (transportation, housing, etc.) for the key veterans.
We are responsible for two categories of veterans:
1.
Key Veterans---They include the veterans who will be directly interacting
with the President during the 3-day event. This will include approximately 120
veterans who will be involved in such activities as introducing the President,
having lunch with he and the First Lady, playing golf with the President and
laying wreaths, to name a few.
2.
Special Guests---Although we are not sending a delegation, there will be some
veterans going to Hawaii which will need special handling because the White
House invited them to attend. They will include approximately 10 to 20
veterans. Some may fly on one of the airplanes going to Hawaii (the CODEL
plane or Secretary of Defense/VA plane). Upon arrival they become OPL's
responsibility.
II.
TASKS
OPL has four primary responsibilities regarding veterans and the upcoming V-J
activities. They include:
Pre-Hawaii:
1.
Vetting Veterans---OPL takes the lead on vetting all veterans who will be
directly involved with the President during the 3-day trip. That means the office
works directly with White House Research, Veterans Affairs and the World War
II Committee to make sure that the right veterans are selected to introduce the
President, join him for lunch, play golf, etc. (see charts). This process is one of
the most important because once selections are made, veterans are invited to
participate in specific tasks, Communications can pitch stories to the media and
Speechwriting can include the personal stories in the President's speeches.
We coordinate this effort for the White House to guarantee that an accurate
cross-section of services and people is represented.
2.
Invitations--OPL is responsible for inviting the individuals who will
introduce the President during all the events. We also review the invitation
lists to all Presidential events making sure key individuals and VSOs
have been extended invitations. For example, I learned during my recent trip to
Hawaii that the invitation list used for the Punchbowl Ceremony at the VA
Cemetery was five years old. We are working with VA to make sure that
CINCPAC gets an updated list and the current VSOs leaders are invited.
3.
Media We provide Communications with the background, bios, etc., on the
key participants.
Hawaii:
4.
Veteran Coordination/White House Liaison----In Hawaii, OPL will be
responsible for coordinating all the logistics, etc., of the key and special guest
veterans. While in Hawaii, the various agencies will focus on various aspects
of the veterans' participation (VA on the VSOs, WWII Committee on all the
veterans, CINCPAC on veterans at each site), our primary responsibility will be
the key and special guest veterans (approximately 130-140) having direct
interaction with the President. Logistics will be a major challenge in Hawaii.
III.
STATUS OF ACTIVITIES
We have finalized most of the activities between the President and the key veterans.
Currently, we are doing the vetting which needs to be completed by the end of the
week (see attached timeline).
IV.
NEXT STEPS
A decision needs to be made on who from OPL will be going to Hawaii so that final
arrangements and assignments can be made.

Subject:
Black Media Strategy
Date:
June 9, 1995
It is encouraging to know that you're moving on the
advertising component of the African American media strategy.
In speaking with Howlie Davis this morning, he informed me of
his initiatives involving DOE and USDA. My only concern is this:
the advertising piece should be part of an integrated black media
strategy that includes (1) formulating a core message, (2)
information sharing through a series of news releases, human
interest articles, etc., (3) radio actualities, (4) convention
coverage, and (5) speeches before important groups.
I have had meetings with communications people at USDA, with
Rodney Slayer's Director of External Communications, and Don Fowler
and his press secretary and new minority media specialist at DNC.
In these meetings, 1 have emphasized the need for a strategic plan
of action. To do the advertising piece without an operational
black media plan is responding to one issue but not dealing with
the broader picture of getting the Administration's message out
(consistently and effectively) on what the President is doing on
behalf of African Americans.
I spoke with Marty Davis at Health & Human Services and he is
not aware of any activity at HHS to formulate and implement a black
media strategy. I have also had conversations with Carol Hamilton,
Ron Brown's press secretary at Commerce.
Alexis, I still think a meeting of public affairs people from
the various agencies is urgently needed to discuss a coordinated
black media strategy. I had this discussion with Peggy Lewis. The
question is who is going to call such a meeting.
This was the nature of my telephone call to you, plus the
lively debate over Gangsta Rep now covered heavily by the media.
