Rev. Amos Brown
Rev. Brown will come by the hotel to say hello during your visit to San Francisco.
As you recall, he was unable to attend the September 8 prayer breakfast due to
unexpected heart trouble. He did not have a heart attack, but was close to one.
Under the doctor's advice, he is spending the next three weeks recuperating at
home. Last week you sent him a letter wishing him a speedy recovery.
He wants to let you know how he plans to assist in organizing ministers.

RE:
Follow up on Religious Organizations
Bruce, following up on our discussion last week about POTUS visiting the National Baptist
Convention of America, National Baptist Convention, USA, and the Church of God in Christ.
POTUS should attend the National Baptist Convention of America, headed by Dr. E. Edward
Jones, for the following reason:
Dr. Jones, an early supporter, has been requesting a visit since 1992
POTUS has attended the other major denominations' conference with the exception of
this one and maybe one other
Though this group feel slighted, they will remain faithful supporters
This convention is scheduled September 3-8, 1995 in Dallas, Texas
Dr. Jones has already publicly endorsed Bill Clinton for re-election
I suggest POTUS attend the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. for the following reasons:
Dr. Henry Lyons is the new president. This is his 1st convention as president
This convention is scheduled for September 4-9, 1995 in Birmingham, Alabama
I suggest POTUS attend the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) conference for the following
reasons:
COGIC has a new presiding bishop, Bishop Chandler Owens, due to the death of
Bishop Louis H. Ford. It would be good for the President to cement the relationship
with the new bishop. I have been talking with the bishop in charge of logistics for the
event.
The date for the President's visit would be November 10, 1995
As you know all of these groups have been very helpful to POTUS from the early days of
October 1991 up to now. I am hopeful their requests will be received favorably.

RE:
Tobacco Meetings
Now that the comment period on the tobacco rule is underway,
it is important that the White House continue to follow certain
guidelines to protect the integrity of the process:
1. To the extent White House staff meets, confers with, or
hears from interested groups, the staff member should:
a) clearly and explicitly convey that the meeting is not
intended as a substitute for the comment process;
b) convey that, if the group has comments to make, it should
submit them to the FDA according to the procedures set out
in the proposed rule.
c) make clear that we are not a conduit for comments to the
FDA.
2. The White House should have no involvement in the process
of reviewing or responding to any comments that may be submitted.
In general, the effort to address the critical problem of
tobacco use by minors represents an important policy initiative
by the President. While it is appropriate to meet with
interested groups to explain and even advocate for that
initiative, such meetings are entirely separate and apart from
the rulemaking proceeding.
I would be grateful if you would pass these guidelines on to
relevant members of your staff.

Re: POTUS Speech on Women's Equality Day
Aug. 22, 1995
Several of us met yesterday in the First Lady's office on a variety of women's issues and the
upcoming Beijing Conference.
We know that there will be a strong call for the President to establish a Commission on the
Status of Women sometime around the 6th of September. This will be done in relation to the
ongoing commitments of the Administration as a result of the Fourth World Conference on
Women. Bella Abzug and a number of other individuals and organizations will be issuing this
demand.
It is our suggestion that the President pre-empt this call by announcing his speech on Aug. 26th,
Women's Equality Day, that he intends to follow-up on the important work of the conference and
the U.S. delegation, by having the delegation remain intact as an advisory body to the President
until the end of the year. This connotes action, commitment to the concerns of women, and most
of all, he is not in a responding posture, but is ahead of the requests. (By the way, thousands of
women have written in over the last year also requesting the establishment of a commission.)
I also think that this speech is a great time for the President to announce the formation of the
Women's Office at the White House. This hasn't been done formally, and there was criticism at
the DNC meeting about our keeping this "secret". Betsy should go to Jackson Hole and be the
visible statement about this whole new and important initiative.
In calling for the extension of the delegation into an advisory group, the POTUS buys time to
look at different options in response to the many requests that have come in. I hope that you will
weigh in on this--it is a very good opportunity for us to get ahead of the curve and make an
important statement at the same time.

INFORMATION ABOUT "GET THE FACTS:
WOMEN'S NETWORK FOR CHANGE"
In July the Women's Network for Change launched our fax and e-mail network. The network is part of a
nationwide voter education campaign to defend women's rights against attacks already ovident from the
current conservative majority leaders in Congress. We hope to educate more women voters and
women's advocates about these The backlash In the 10401 Congress threatens CIVII rights,
reproductive choice, workplace oquity issues, gender fairness in education, and women's health.
This campaign will be non-partisan and will inform you about the issues. It will not endorse political
candidates. It will link women's and progress organizations across the country, reaching into every
state and thousands of communities. You have been chosen to play a key part.
The attached Women's Network for Change alert WAS developed by representatives of the organizations
listed below. Similar alorto will be issued approximately twice u month when Congress Is in session. In
most cases, we will send the alerts without a cover menio.
We hope you will use these alorts in several ways, to have all impact on Congress:

EDUCATION HARDEST HIT BY CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET CUTS
The House of Representatives Appropriations Committee has voted to cut education funding by 2 higher
percentage than any other federal spending arca, severely diminishing the national commitment to learning,
to children, and to adult literacy. At a time when we need to increase our investment in future generations,
education programs are being reduced by $3.9 billion--a 15.9 percent cut. By comparison, agriculture
spending IS being cut by only 9 percent, transportation by 7 percent, and defense spending by 0.3 percent. All
Republicans on the Committee voted for the education cuts; no Democrats did.
If Congress successfully cuts the federal share of education
ding to this degree, it is unlikely that state and
local governments will be able to make up the difference. TI:= following is a sample of the cuts:
A school reform program designed to help states develop consistent, high standards in all academic
subject areas is being completely eliminated. The program received bipartisan support last year.
Head Start is slated for a cut of $200 million According to the Children's Defense Fund, this reduction
will deny services to 48,000 children.
The Safe and Drug-free Schools program, which funds prevention of alcohol, drugs, and violence in
schools in every state, is being cut by 50 percent.
Local library construction. literacy. and other library programe are being cut by $43 million.
Star Schools, which helps bring computers and technology into classrooms around the country hv
rostering 1" ivale/public parmerships, 15 being eliminated.
Here's What You Can Do!
Call your Representative and Senators at 202/224-3121. Urge them to oppose any
appropriations bill that makes education bear an unfair burden of federal budget cuts.
Your Members of Congress will be home in your district from August 5 to Saptember
5. Contact their district offices or attend town meetings.

Gender Gap as
Political Fixture
White Men Heed GOP Call;
Women Lean to Democrats
By Thomas B. Edsall
Washington Post Staff Writer
If 1992 was the year of the woman and 1994
was the year of the angry white man, 1996 is
shaping up as an unprecedented political war of
the sexes in white America.
The Washington confrontation between a
Democratic Party led by President Clinton and a
Republican Party dominated by House Speaker
Newt Gingrich (Ga.) is producing the widest po-
litical gender gap between white men and white
women ever seen by public opinion analysts.
Republican pollster Bill McInturff calls it "the
permanent gender gap."
"What was an artifact of the '80s is now being
institutionalized and locked into place," he said.
A July survey by his firm, Public Opinion Strat-
egies, found that white men are now inclined to
vote for Republican congressional candidates
over Democrats by 51 percent to 23 percent. He
said "Democrats are in the worst shape among
white men I've seen" during 15 years of public
opinion analysis. White women are evenly split on
the question, while black and Hispanic voters of
both sexes are strongly Democratic.
Democrat pollster Celinda Lake said there was
a large gender gap in the early 1980s specifically
about President Ronald Reagan, but now the split
encompasses virtually all politics. "You'll get it in
a race for dogcatcher in Montana, if it's a Repub-
lican against a Democrat," she said.
The gender split is present in such seemingly
rock-solid conservative constituencies as white
Christians who identify themselves as "born
again." Lake said that a plurality of white, born-
again women believe the budget cuts approved
by the Republican-controlled Congress are going
"too far," while white born-again men support the
cuts by 56 percent to 29 percent.
The gender trends are bolstered by another
emerging pattern-in which married people hold
more conservative and Republican views while
single status increases the likelihood of a liberal
and Democratic outlook-that is changing the
structure of the parties. Married, middle-aged
white men are becoming a crucial constituency of
the GOP, while single women, white and black,
have become a key Democratic constituency.
"There is a real chasm between the genders,"
said Democratic pollster Guy Molyneux, senior

MEMORANDUM FOR ALEXIS HERMAN
FROM:
Debbie Fine
SUBJECT:
Goodwill Industries
Attached is a request from Michael Langton of Goodwill Sarasota (private welfare to work
program) to meet with you in mid-September to discuss their program. He will have with
him: former U.S. Senator Marlow Cook, Reverend Don Roberts, Sandy Purahn and Carl
Bauer.
Several months ago I had met with representatives of this organization at the request of Kerry
Kirschner (as a substitute for you). At the time, it seemed that they were looking to get
higher visibility of their program from the President visiting one of their sites, with a longer
term goal of getting funding or a 'loan' for their program through Congress.
It is my understanding that they have been working with Congress, HHS and Labor to
achieve this throughout the course of the past year. They have also had visits from several
administration officials -- I think Laura Tyson, Mack McLarty and Phil Lader.
Given the number of meetings they seem to have had with administration representatives, I do
not think it is necessary for you to meet with Goodwill. It may, however, be important to
you for political or other reasons that I am not aware of.
Please let me know how you would like to respond, or if you would like me to get more
information.
Thanks.

Re:
Visit to Washington, D.C. September 18-20
Date: August 29, 1995
After meeting you back in June in Jacksonville, through our mutual friend. Congresswomen
Corrine Brown, I mentioned I was working on a wonderful Welfare to Work project and as a
result would be in Washington from time to time and would try to see you and discuss the
program with you.
When we were in D.C. back in March we met with Debbie Fine of your staff. As you may
remember Kerry Kirschner arranged that meeting.
We have scheduled a visit to Washington, D.C. on September 18.19. & 20 and would like to
bring you up to date on our progress to include our very successful Welfare to Work private
11
sector program in the Congressional Welfare Bill.
Former U.S. Senator Marlow Cook. Rev. Don Roberts. Sandy Purgahn, Carl Bauer. and
myself will be in town and would greatly appreciate a few minutes with you.
Please let me know if you will be available to meet with us during our visit. Thanks Alexis!

NAM Board of Directors Meeting
September 21-23, 1995
Dear Alexis:
Following up on our conversation on decoupling the budget and debt ceiling, we are
very interested in getting the Administration's views on this and other budget-related matters
at our Board Meeting session on Saturday morning, September 23, 1995. The time frame
would be sometime between 10 a.m. and Noon, and we can be flexible.
As you know, the NAM Board of Directors is holding their Fall Meeting at the J. W.
Marriott this year, and we feel it would be very useful for an Administration spokesperson to
make a presentation on the overall budget issue.
We would like to ask for your help in obtaining one of the following:

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
RESPONSE TO QUESTION ON MEDICARE
September 14, 1995
The Oval Office
10:45 A.M. EDT
Q
The Speaker of the House today said that the Democratic position on Medicare is to
scare 85-year-olds, and he called the party "morally bankrupt."
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you know, I think it's questionable to use words like morally
bankrupt, but let's look at the facts. For two years, I said the Medicare Trust Fund was in
trouble, and Mr. Gingrich and others mocked me and denied that it was in trouble. All by
ourselves, with no help from them, we added three years to the life of the Trust Fund. We
have proposed legislation which would add 10 years to the life of the Trust Fund and will
get Medicare out of trouble.
I don't want to use a term like "morally bankrupt," but I think it is morally questionable at
least to propose vast Medicare cuts which would increase the cost of Medicare to elderly
people living on under $24,000 a year, and claim that it's going to the Trust Fund when
they know not one red cent of the money being paid by seniors will go to the Trust Fund.
It will go to fund a tax cut that is too big. And they should tell the truth to the American
people that they want to charge the providers more money and put that in the Trust Fund.
They want to charge the elderly people of this country more money and put that into the
tax cut.
Now, that is the truth. And if we're going to talk about what morality requires, morality
requires them to tell the truth to the American people.

Leslie Lobel and Bibb Hubbard
From:
Maria Echaveste
Re:
KTOZ-radio in Springfield, MO
Date:
August 16, 1995
The Labor Department received two complaints from employees of the station (one of whom is
also an investor) about workers not being paid by the radio station for scheduled work hours.
We do not disclose the bases for our compliance investigations to protect the anonymity of
complaints.
Wage & Hour officials had an initial meeting with the employer to attempt to determine the
facts of this case. The employer refused to cooperate and would not provide access to any
records. Wage and Hour had not made a determination as to whether to pursue this matter.
The employer, however, went to the press to create a story unwarranted by the facts Given
the Department's limited resources and the fact that the Fair Labor Standards Act provides
complaints with a private right of action the Department decided not to pursue this matter.
This area is not a high priority for already stretched investigative resources. Our priorities are
agriculture, garment and other low-wage industries.
The complainants have been notified that their complaints can be pursued in the civil courts
through exercise of their "private right of action".
The Department's decision not to pursue this matter should not be viewed as condoning work
for no pay. There are very good and strong policy reasons why for-profit companies are not
allowed to employ people for no pay. First of all, those practices take wages out of worker's
pockets and force everyone's wages down. Such practices also create unfair competition for
employers who comply with the law. If volunteering in such circumstances is permitted, there
will be increased pressure on employees to volunteer after time for no pay in order to keep
their job.
