MEETING:
Days of Remembrance Observance
DATE:
Thursday, April 30, 1981
LOCATION:
Rose Garden
TIME:
10:00 AM - 10:25 AM
FROM:
Elizabeth H. Dole
PURPOSE: To enable you to participate in the "Days of Remembrance of Victims
of the Holocaust" observance; conducted under the auspices of the U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Council, which was established on October 7, 1980.
BACKGROUND: Established by Public Law 96-388, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial
Council is tasked with providing appropriate observances on an annual,
national and civic basis to commemorate the Days of Remembrance. They are also
to plan, construct and oversee the operation of a permanent living memorial
museum; as well as plan for carrying out the recommendations of the 9/27/79
Report of the President's Commission on the Holocaust.
President Carter addressed the first observance, held in the Capitol Rotunda,
on April 24, 1979. He also spoke before the President's Commission on the
Holocaust and guests in the East Room on the occasion of the submission of
this 9/27/79 report. Yours will be the first Presidential participation in
a Days of Remembrance observance to be held at the White House. The Jewish
community considers your acceptance of this request to be a gesture of the
highest order. This is a solemn, reverential observance and not a religious
event.
PARTICIPANTS: See attached list.
PRESS PLAN: Full Press Coverage

9:54 AM Welcome remarks by Jack Stein, Special Advisor to the White
House, and invocation by Sen. Rudy Boschwitz (R-MN).

HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL COUNCIL DAYS OF REMEMBRANCE CEREMONY REMARKS
APRIL 30, 1981
IT IS A PARTICULAR PLEASURE FOR ME TO BE WITH YOU TODAY. THIS
CEREMONY HAS MEANING NOT ONLY FOR JEWISH PEOPLE AND THOSE WHO HAVE
BEEN PERSECUTED, BUT FOR ALL OF US WHO WANT TO PREVENT ANOTHER
HOLOCAUST.
JEREMIAH WROTE OF DAYS WHEN JEWS WERE CARRIED OFF TO BABYLON,
AND JERUSALEM WAS DESTROYED. JERUSALEM "WEEPS IN THE NIGHT, AND
TEARS RUN DOWN HER CHEEKS," HE SAID.
2
TODAY, WE REMEMBER THE SUFFERING AND THE DEATH OF JEWS AND
OTHERS IN WORLD WAR II. WE TRY TO RECAPTURE THE HORROR OF MILLIONS
SENT TO GAS CHAMBERS AND CREMATORIA. AND WE COMMEMORATE THE DAYS
OF APRIL IN 1945 WHEN AMERICAN AND ALLIED TROOPS LIBERATED THE
NAZI DEATH CAMPS.
THE TRAGEDY THAT ENDED 36 YEARS AGO IS STILL RAW IN OUR MEMORIES
BECAUSE IT TOOK PLACE IN OUR LIFETIME. WE SHARE THE WOUNDS OF THE
SURVIVORS. WE RECALL THE PAIN ONLY BECAUSE WE MUST NEVER PERMIT
IT TO COME AGAIN.
3
IT IS RIGHT THAT WE REKINDLE THESE MEMORIES BECAUSE WE NEED
ALWAYS TO GUARD AGAINST TYRANNY, OUR SPIRIT IS STRENGTHENED BY
REMEMBERING, AND OUR HOPE IS IN OUR STRENGTH.
THERE IS AN AMERICAN POEM THAT SAYS HUMANITY, WITH ALL ITS
FEARS AND ALL ITS HOPES, DEPENDS ON US. IT IS THIS RESPONSIBILITY,
AS FREE PEOPLE, THAT WE FACE TODAY. IT IS THIS COMMITMENT, AMONG
FREE PEOPLE, THAT WE CELEBRATE.
4
THE HOPE OF OUR CEREMONY TODAY IS THAT EVEN A TORTURED PAST
HOLDS PROMISE IF WE LEARN ITS LESSONS. ACCORDING TO ISAIAH, THERE
WILL BE A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH, AND THE VOICE OF WEEPING
WILL BE HEARD NO MORE.
TOGETHER WITH GOD WE CAN BEAR THE BURDEN OF OUR NIGHTMARE.
IT IS UP TO US TO ENSURE WE NEVER LIVE IT AGAIN.

1:30 toen. feutist for RR
carl Pursell - R
Plymouth, Michigan, southeast Michigan,
southeast section of the state, 2nd
District. 3rd term. Serves on Ap-
propriations Committee (Transporta-
tion and Labor, HHS, Education, and
Related Agencies Subcommittees).
As Co-chairman of the N.E. -Midwest
Coalition, Pursell has actively
raised questions implying that the
economic package discriminates against
the "frost belt.' Michigan's high
unemployment and the auto industry's
health are major concerns. He is
close to Governor Milliken and claims
that he is only concerned about the
way that Michigan is treated by the
economic package.
In his conversation with you, Tauke
reiterated his hope that the Adminis-
tration would work with Members from
all sections of the country and not
forget about the problems of the North-
east and Midwest.
Harold "Cap" Hollenbeck-R East Rutherford, New Jersey
(parts of Bergen and Hudson Counties)
9th District, 3rd term. Serves on
the Science and Technology Committee
and the Committee on Standards of
Official Conduct. Previously uncom-
mitted on the bipartisan Budget
substitute, ostensibly due to his
concern that it may not have a bene-
ficial impact on the Northeast.
Has been contacted twice by Secretary
Donovan and three times by White House
Legislative Affairs staff.
Bill Green - R
New York City, New York, silk-stocking
district, 18th District, 2nd term.
Serves on the Appropriations Committee.
Concerned about spending decreases in
urban programs such as mass transit,
housing, and urban renewal. Also
that additional spending cuts in
bipartisan budget proposal are at
expense of Northeast.
The Congressman traveled with you on
Air Force I on March 13, 1981.
The Congressman has been extremely
helpful to you during the recent
markup of your rescission requests
before the Appropriations Subcommittee
on HUD.
Peggy Heckler - R
Wellesley, Massachusetts, southeast part
of the state including Fall River, 10th
District. 8th term. Her district in-
cludes Boston suburbs in the north and
Fall River, the district's largest city
in the south. This district may be re-
drawn, pitting her against Barney Frank,
a liberal sophomore Democrat from
Brookline, Massachusetts. She serves on
the Science and Technology and Veterans'
Affairs Committees.
The Congresswoman is Co-chairman of the
Congresswomen's Caucus. She has requested
on several occasions a meeting with the
President to discuss the appointment of
women in the Administration.
The President discussed the budget resolu-
tion with Peggy the week of April 20, 1981.
She is concerned that the Gramm-Latta
resolution discriminates against the north-
east corridor (in comparison to Jones'
proposal) and that a vote for the Admin-
istration's bipartisan package will jeo-
pardize her probable fight against Frank.
Matt Rinaldo - R
Union, New Jersey, Southwest of
greater Newark, northeastern sec-
tion of state, 12th District. 5th
term. Serves on House Energy and
Commerce Committee and the Select
Committee on Aging.
As he indicated in his telephone
conversation with you he has a
Democratic district and is sensitive
to labor issues. Rinaldo wants to
support you but remained undecided,
as he historically does on tough
votes.
