March 19, 1982
MEETING WITH SELECTED MEMBERS OF THE SENATE
AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO
DISCUSS THE AGRICULTURAL TRADE
ISSUE
DATE:

LOCATION:

I.
PURPOSE
To notify Congressional agricultural leaders of the policy announce-
ment on agricultural trade to be made by the President during his
appearance at the White House briefing for agricultural editors on
Monday, March 22, 1982; and to discuss related policy matters raised
by Congressional participants.
II.
BACKGROUND
Beginning with the grain embargo which was imposed by the previous
Administration, agricultural issues have had continued visibility
since January 20, 1981. The public debate about conditions in the
agricultural sector of the economy reached a peak last December
during final Congressional consideration of the 1981 Farm Bill.
Certain factors and events since that time again have focused public
attention on Administration activities and policies on the so-called
farm front: (1) two letters, signed by a total of approximately
forty House Members, requesting a meeting with the President on
"the economic crisis faced by our nation's farmers and avenues by
which we might avert an economic disaster"; (2) a question raised
in the President's most recent press conference on the status of
the Congressional meeting request mentioned in item 1 above; (3)
a letter to the President, signed by House Agriculture Committee
Republicans, conveying "concerns (and) suggestions for possible
remedies that may at least diminish some of the current problems in
the farm sector"; (4) the recent controversy over Commodity Credit
Corporation assistance to Poland and other Eastern European coun-
tries; (5) the President's participation in a recent Cabinet Council
meeting on agricultural trade policy; (6) the sensitivity accorded
agricultural trade aspects of the Caribbean Basin Initiative within
the Administration and on Capitol Hill; (7) revised estimates which
2

BACKGROUND (continued)
indicate an increase of approximately $9 billion in the cost
of farm price support programs during Fiscal Year 1982 and
Fiscal Year 1983; (8) the designation of National Agriculture
Day as March 18, 1982; and (9) the President's scheduled
appearance on March 22, 1982 at a special White House briefing
for agricultural editors.
This meeting has been scheduled in light of these factors.
Although the primary focus is on agricultural trade policy, it
is anticipated that other farm policy issues also will be dis-
cussed.

SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS FOR
MEETING WITH SELECTED MEMBERS
OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
TO DISCUSS THE AGRICULTURAL TRADE ISSUE
Acknowledge that this is a very difficult period for
American agricultural producers the third straight
year of economic recession in the farm sector due to
a vicious cost/price squeeze, high interest rates and
uncertain markets.
Note that, as symbolized by the recent supplemental
requests of some $9 billion for commodity supports
this year and next, this Administration will not turn
its back on the nation's farmers in their time of
special need.
State that, long-term, the Economic Recovery Program--
to reduce the government's claim on our national
resources and end its interference with the marketplace-
will benefit the agricultural sector as much as any
other area of the domest C economy. While there remains
much to be done, very important progress has been made
to reduce inflation and interest rates during the past
year.
Recognize that the Federal Government also has an important
role to play in partnership with the farm community in
such areas as research, market development and basic
commodity supports.
2
-- Indicate that the Administration's long-term
policy on farm exports will be announced later
in the day which will ensure that there can be
no confusion among our producers or our overseas
trading partners on at least three essential
priorities:
That no restrictions will be imposed on
the exportation of farm products because
of rising domestic prices.
That farm exports will not be used as an
instrument of foreign policy except in
the most extreme situations and as part of
a total embargo.
That world markets must be freed of trade
barriers and unfair trade practices.
-- Mention that Agriculture Secretary Block has some
comments to make, and then you both look forward
to hearing what this group of distinguished
Congressional leaders has to say.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
March 19, 1982
MEETING WITH AGRICULTURE EDITORS AND REPRESENTATIVES
DATE:
March 22, 1982
LOCATION:
Room 450 OEOB
TIME:
3:15 - 3:35 p.m.
FROM:
ELIZABETH H. DOLE
END
I.
PURPOSE:
To issue a statement of reassurance to the agriculture community
and display sensitivity to their concerns.
II. BACKGROUND:
American agriculture is facing one of its most serious situations
in years. High interest rates, low commodity prices, and nervous-
ness over possible trade sanctions against the Soviet Union and
Eastern Europe have contributed to the anxiety in the agriculture
sector.
Except for your videotaped message in January to the American Farm
Bureau Convention, you have yet to address a major agriculture
audience as President.
During the February 23 Cabinet Council meeting, there was general
agreement that you should, at the earliest possible time, issue a
public statement which re-affirms your basic agriculture policy
and defines an agriculture export policy. This will help calm
the concerns of farmers and let them know of your awareness of
their difficult plight.
Following your speech, the audience will be briefed by Dave
MacDonald of USTR on U.S. trade policy, Murray Weidenbaum on the
budget and general economic policy, and Secretary Watt on land
management and water use policies.
III. PARTICIPANTS:
100 agriculture editors and 60 agriculture organizational repre-
sentatives.
IV. PRESS PLAN:
White House Press Pool

SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
3:15 p.m. - You enter Room 450, accompanied by Secretary Block,
greet those seated on the stage (Dave MacDonald
Elizabeth Dole) and deliver your remarks.
3:35 p.m. - Upon conclusion of your remarks, you may wish to shake a
few hands of the attendees in the first row as you depart.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
March 19, 1982
MEETING WITH: Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and
the Poison Prevention Week Council (PPWC)
LOCATION:
Roosevelt Room
TIME:
11:45 a.m. - 11:55 a.m.
FROM:
ELIZABETH H. DOLE
PURPOSE: To recognize and give support to National Poison
Prevention Week.
BACKGROUND: By your Proclamation, the week of March 21 is the
21st observance of National Poison Prevention Week (NPPW) spon-
sored by the CPSC and the NPPW Council. The NPPW Council is
made up of voluntary organizations, health and safety associa-
tions, industry, and government agencies. Accidental poisoning
has long been a major cause of deaths and injuries for children
under five. The 1970 Poison Prevention Packaging Act required
that many products be in child-resistant packages which has
been highly effective in reducing poisoning incidents. Since
1973, this Act has been administered by CPSC. Also effective
are the 600 poison control centers throughout the country pro-
viding poison prevention information and treatment services
and collecting poison prevention data. CPSC Chairman Nancy
Stoerts is one of the Administration's highest level women
appointees.
PARTICIPANTS: See attached list.
PRESS COVERAGE: Press photo coverage.
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS:
11:45 a.m. You will join the participants in the Roosevelt
Room and be met by Virginia Knauer and Chairman
Steorts. You make brief remarks to recognize the
21st Anniversary of Poison Prevention Week and
support the work of the NPPW Council. CPSC Chair-
man Steorts briefly acknowledges your support and
introduces the CPSC Commissioners.
11:50 a.m. You move in front of the lecturn and provide a
group photo opportunity for CPSC Chairman and
four Commissioners. You greet NPPW Council mem-
bers, providing photo opportunities as time permits.
11:55
a.m. You depart the Roosevelt Room.

SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS FOR MEETING WITH
PRESIDENTIAL ADVISORY COMMISSION ON FEDERALISM
I want to thank you for all the time you have devoted
to helping me on the federalism issue.
I remember the meeting which we had in this very room
on December 15, 1981. Many of the suggestions which
I received that day are reflected in the conceptual
framework which I announced on January 26:
That there must be a large, bold program, rather
than -- in the words of Governor Snelling --- just
a "piecemeal attack" on federalism.
The need for a true sorting our of responsibilities
among the various levels of government.
I remember Pete Domenici talking about increasing
revenue sharing dramatically. In a sense, the
$28 billion trust fund is a giant revenue sharing
program to states and localities.
The need for a pass-through of funds to local
units of government. I guarantee to you that
a mandatory pass-through will be a part of
this package.
2
The need for a match between revenues turned back
and programs absorbed. This is a part of the
proposal -- we will provide a dollar for dollar
match of revenues for programs. And we will
continue to structure the proposal so there are
no winners or losers among the states.
Finally, we have responded to the request that
there be an adequate transition by not making
the program fully effective until FY '91.
Paul, the timing of your meeting today is perfect.
We have not nailed down the details of our proposal
yet, but the issues have been sufficiently crystallized
by now that your input can be very productive.
I know there are some concerns about full state
assumption of AFDC and food stamps, and we're
willing to look at alternative swaps in the
income maintenance area.
We want your guidance on the pass-through.
We're willing to look at other revenue sources
in place of the windfall profits tax.
3
We need your advice on the 43 programs to be
turned back.
In short, we're eager to listen. This is the first
opportunity I've had since January 26 to sit down
with representatives of all levels of government at
one time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Paul, before we open up the discussion, I want to
express my special thanks to you for your leadership
of this important committee. I knew when I asked
you to chair this commmittee you shared my strong
feelings on the importance of returning power and
authority to state and local government
to the
people. You've done a great job and I appreciate it.
Call on Senator Laxalt.
