PRESIDENTIAL DROP-BY TO GREET BUSINESSMEN

PURPOSE
To accommodate a request from House Republican Whip
Trent Lott (R-MS) and Congressman Mike Oxley (R-OH)
who are co-hosting a "Business Day in Washington" for
prominent businessmen and women from their respec-
tive districts.
II.
BACKGROUND
In order to foster a better understanding between the
private sector and government, Congressman Trent Lott
(R-MS) and Congressman Mike Oxley (R-OH) have invited
250 prominent businessmen and women to Washington to
meet and talk with national policy makers. During
this one day conference, the business people will hear
an address by the Vice President and receive briefings
from Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, Supreme
Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Vice Chairman of
the Federal Reserve Preston Martin.
This brief Presidential drop-by to greet the partici-
pants and welcome them to Washington, will be the
highlight of the day. As Republican Whip, Trent Lott
has played a vital role in virtually every Administra-
tion legislative success during the last two years.
Congressman Oxley has also been one of the strongest
and most vocal advocates of the President's programs
in the House of Representatives.
Greeting this group of Presidential supporters and
community leaders from Ohio and Mississippi will serve
to assure the continued loyalty and support of these
Members.

SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS
-
Greetings and welcome to Washington. It always
pleases me when I learn that folks such as yourself
are here in town to spread some common sense and prac-
ticality around in what many have termed "Disneyland
on the Potomac. 11
-
We've been told for too many years that the only
logical place to turn for help of any kind is to
Washington. I know that many of the programs that
have been proposed over the past had the best of in-
tentions. But as business people, you know that when
you undertake an important task you had better be sure
you know what you're doing. They weren't all that
sure.
--
It makes me think of an old story that maybe you know,
but I am going to tell it again because life not only
begins at forty, so does lumbago and the tendency to
repeat yourself.
-
There was a fellow riding a motorcycle on a cold
winter's day, and the wind was coming through the
button holes on his leather jacket and chilling him.
Finally he stopped, got off the motorcycle, turned the
jacket around and put it on backward. Well, he was all
right from the cold, but his arm movement was re-
stricted. Eventually he hit a patch of ice, and
skidded into a tree. When the police got there and
elbowed their way through the crowd that had gathered
they asked what had happened. A voice rose from the
the formation with the response, "We don't know -- when
we got here he seemed to be all right, but by the time
we had his head turned around straight, he was dead."
-
I tell you that story to remind you that when this
Administration took office the economy was almost dead
after more than twenty years of liberal policies de-
signed to straighten things out. The prime rate was at
21.5%, and inflation had reached 13.1%. Today the
prime is at 10.5% and consumer prices fell 0.2 % in
February, only the second time since 1965 that a
decline has occurred.
---
The economy is now beginning to grow and a sustained
recovery without inflation will soon be a reality
rather than a wish. Without the hard work of Members
like Trent Lott and Mike Oxley, this could not have
been accomplished and they rightfully share this
success.
-- Much work remains to be done. The deficit is much too
high and unemployment and interest rates must come down
further. Our critics assert that we should go back to
the same old tax, borrow and spend policy that gave us
a trillion dollar debt and deficits for nineteen of the
last twenty years, plus double digit inflation and the
highest interest rates in 100 years.
-- With the continued help of Congressmen like Trent and
Mike, we will reject those policies and reawaken the
government to the values that make a successful bus-
inessman or woman -- determination, responsibility,
confidence and common sense. The kind of common sense
that says if it ain't broke, don't fix it. We are re-
introducing the idea that progress is still an American
word and that optimism is still an American trait. I
believe if we cling to our hopes and dreams, the future
will flower just as it did for the pioneers who settled
the great states of Ohio and Mississippi.

PURPOSE
A brief courtesy meeting with members of your newly created
Task Force on International Private Enterprise.
II. BACKGROUND
The President's Task Force on International Private Enterprise
has been established to help implement the pledge you made at
the Cancun Summit and before the Philadelphia World Affairs
Council that the U.S. would assist developing countries through
the "magic of the marketplace. Creation of the Task Force
represents an effort by Peter McPherson, your Administrator of
the Agency for International Development (AID) to mobilize
private sector resources to assist in international economic
development. The Task force is to serve as a forum through
which AID and the U.S. business and financial community can
forge a better partnership; improving the exchange of
information and the review of development strategies.
The Task Force is composed primarily of Chief Executive
Officers with international business experience. Dwayne
Andreas, CEO of Archer-Daniels Midland, will serve as Chairman
of the Task Force. Mr. Andreas will assure you that the Task
Force will undertake its responsibilities with real determina-
tion and will develop action-oriented recommendations for your
consideration. He will note that one area that the Task Force
is especially interested in is agribusiness.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: MEETING WITH THE PRESIDENT'S TASK FORCE
ON INTERNATIONAL PRIVATE ENTERPRISE
MONDAY, MAY 2, 1983
Well, I'm delighted to welcome the members of your newly
created task force. I'm very pleased we could assemble such an
impressive group to take on this important responsibility.
We do face a very difficult task. As you know, many
developing countries must surmount severe economic, social and
political barriers to growth. And the international debt
problems are of special concern to us.
At the same time, we know that developing countries which
trust and draw upon the energy and resources of their people --
they make real progress.
The key question we must address is this: How can we do a
better job helping these countries to grow by stimulating
opportunity and personal enterprise?
The Caribbean Basin Initiative, a top priority of our
Administration, is one example of how we're trying to stimulate
economic development in developing nations.
Encouraging growth and development through private
enterprise will help us build lasting partnerships with our
friends and allies in the developing world. We know that the
path to human progress is paved with individual opportunity.
As I said at the Cancun Summit in 1981, it is time for
America to help these countries help themselves through the magic
of the marketplace. And, as always, the United States will be a
friend and an active partner in the search for a better life.
Page 2
The work of your task force will be crucial if we are to
succeed in fostering economic freedom and human progress. I look
forward to working with you and to receiving your recommendations
on private sector development strategies.
PRESIDENT'S TASK FORCE ON INTERNATIONAL
PRIVATE ENTERPRISE
-- DELIGHTED TO WELCOME SUCH AN IMPRESSIVE
GROUP
-- WE FACE A DIFFICULT TASK BECAUSE THE
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES MUST SURMOUNT SEVERE
FINANCIAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL
BARRIERS TO GROWTH.
-- HOWEVER, WE KNOW THAT THOSE DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES THAT DRAW UPON THE ENERGY AND
RESOURCES OF THEIR PEOPLE MAKE REAL
PROGRESS.
-- KEY QUESTION IS HOW CAN WE HELP BY
STIMULATING OPPORTUNITY AND PERSONAL
ENTERPRISE?
-- THE CARIBBEAN BASIN INITIATIVE IS AN
EXAMPLE OF HOW WE'RE TRYING TO STIMULATE
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
-- ENCOURAGING GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT THROUGH
PRIVATE ENTERPRISE HELPS BUILD LASTING
PARTNERSHIPS.
-- IT IS TIME FOR AMERICA TO HELP DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES HELP THEMSELVES THROUGH THE
MAGIC OF THE MARKET PLACE.
-2-
-- WE WILL BE A FRIEND AND PARTNER IN THE
SEARCH FOR A BETTER LIFE.
-- THE WORK OF THIS TASK FORCE IS CRUCIAL
IF WE ARE TO SUCCEED IN FOSTERING
ECONOMIC FREEDOM AND HUMAN PROGRESS.
-- I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU AND
TO RECEIVING YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS.

MEETING WITH CONGRESSMAN CONNIE MACK (R-FLORIDA)
DATE:
Monday, May 2, 1983
LOCATION:
The Oval Office
TIME:
4:00 p.m. (10 minutes)
S.
FROM:
Kenneth M. Duberstein
I.
PURPOSE
To thank Connie for his efforts in behalf of the Administra-
tion's tax policy.
II. BACKGROUND
Connie Mack is a freshman Republican from Florida's
Thirteenth District (southwestern part of state). In the
House of Representatives, he serves on the Budget Committee
and the Post Office and Civil Service Committee. Prior to
his election to Congress, Connie was President of the Florida
National Bank (1975-82).
Thus far in the 98th Congress, Connie has been a strong and
vocal supporter of Administration economic objectives and
policies. Most recently, he secured 146 signatures of
House Republicans on a letter to demonstrate veto strength
on any legislative attempt to repeal the third year of the
tax cut or indexing. This letter comes at a time when both
the House-passed and Senate Budget Committee Budget Resolu-
tions provide for a $30 billion tax increase in Fiscal Year
1984 -- an increase that only could be accomplished by re-
pealing the third year and indexing.
Mack attended your breakfast meeting with the House
Republican freshman class on February 7, 1983 and your
meeting with Republican members of the House Budget Committee
which was held in the Cabinet Room on March 18, 1983.

SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS FOR MEETING
WITH CONGRESSMAN CONNIE MACK
(REPUBLICAN-FLORIDA)
- In welcoming Connie to the Oval Office, indicate
that this is one letter you didn't want to entrust
to the Post Office.
-- Explain that House Republicans presented you with a
similar letter two years ago--one which indicated
veto support on legislation which was inconsistent
with the overall economic recovery effort.
-- State the expectation that the letter Connie is
presenting today will be very valuable during the
98th Congress in heading off attempts to turn back
the clock on tax policy.

PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: NATIONAL REPUBLICAN HERITAGE GROUPS COUNCIL
MONDAY, MAY 2, 1983
I can't think of a group in Republican politics more vital
to the success of our party and its message than yours: the
Republican Heritage Groups. I was proud to participate in your
10th convention in Cleveland a few years ago and some of you may
remember that at my kick-off event in the 1980 campaign - at
Liberty Park in New Jersey - we stressed the very values and
beliefs that your group has espoused since its formation.
Believe me, there is no political gathering I would rather
attend than yours. But even though that isn't possible this year
please know that you have my best wishes for a successful and
fruitful conference.
I'm sure you'll be discussing this weekend what it is that
we in the Republican Party want to tell the voters in the
upcoming elections. Your group plays a critical role in this.
For many years we Republicans had trouble reaching the working
people of America; some thought our party was the party of
privilege and class while the other party represented the little
man and the underdog.
It isn't easy to shake off that image and, as you know, a
lot of people are still trying to pin it on us. So, if I might
offer you some advice, it is this: Let's go to the people with
the issues, let's give them the facts. This Republican
Administration has cut inflation and tax rates for the working
people from the incredible levels they were at under the other
Page 2
party. This has meant $1,500 more in purchasing power for
Americans than they would have had if inflation had stayed where
it was. And, because of our tax program, the average family of
four in 1983 will pay $700 less in Federal income taxes.
The economy is on the rebound. We've restored business and
consumer confidence because we had the courage to say no to
special interest politics, to more and more spending and
taxation. We're making the economic pie bigger and we all know
how much this means to members of racial and ethnic groups in
America who are still reaching for a bigger slice of that pie.
There are other issues: We've launched the most
comprehensive attack on crime and the illegal drug trade of any
administration in the past; we're trying to foster diversity and
excellence in our educational system through tuition tax credits;
and above all, we're rebuilding our national defenses and
returning to America that margin of safety so important to the
peace of the world and our country's freedom. And we want to
assist those who long for freedom and the democratic process in
Central America and everywhere else in the world.
I think that a consciousness is growing in this country. I
think Americans are just now beginning to feel much better about
our country -- the leadership in Washington, the direction in
which it is headed, and its prospects for the future.
So even beyond all these important issues, I hope you'll
keep this in mind: What will really win over the American people
is not just checklists of "promises kept" or "conditions
bettered," but the offer of hope for the future and the simple
Page 3
affirmation of our belief in America and all the values she has
traditionally stood for. No one knows better than you that this
is the way to the heart of the American electorate.
So again my best wishes for your conference. In one
capacity or another, I expect to see all of you on the campaign
trail again. I'm looking forward to it. In the meantime, good
luck and God bless you.

PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: PHYSICAL FITNESS PROGRAM
MONDAY, MAY 2, 1983
I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome your
Association of Physical Fitness Centers to Washington. I wish I
could be with you, but I want you to know how much we appreciate
what you are doing for America.
Someone once described exercise with just one word -
health. And as we know, good health is one of heaven's best
treasures. I was delighted to meet with your Chairman, James
Glasper, and your board of Directors when they came to the White
House recently. What an honor it was to receive your
Association's "Man of the Year" award.
You know, I've been working hard on a physical fitness
program of my own for most of my life. There's nothing I enjoy
more than those hours when I can horseback ride and split wood
back on our ranch in California. But here in the White House you
get pretty cooped up. So I've been working out upstairs, lifting
a little iron, in a room we've specially designed for that. And
when I met with Jim Glasper and your Board, I just couldn't help
it. I had to tell them that since I've been doing these new
ALMOST
exercises, I've managed to addAtwo inches TO on my chest.
I think the American people are coming back to the idea that
we can't have sound minds without sound bodies. Exercise and
physical fitness are in. That's going to make us healthier,
happier and more productive -- and you're the ones who deserve
much of the credit. So I'm sorry I can't be with you today, but

PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: ADVERTISING COUNCIL CONFERENCE
MONDAY, MAY 2, 1983
Greetings to all of you attending the Advertising Council's
39th Annual Washington Conference. And by you, I mean: the
companies which support the Council with contributions; the
volunteer advertising agencies which create the advertising; the
volunteer coordinators from business who guide these efforts; and
the broadcast and print media which carry nearly a billion
dollars of public service messages free each year. If this
cooperative effort doesn't tell the world what American
voluntarism is all about, I don't know what does.
When FDR first greeted you back during World War II, the
Nation's top priority was to secure a lasting victory, and you
pitched in wholeheartedly to help in that effort. Today, of
course, the challenges are of a different kind, although just as
immediate. I'm pleased you're tackling them with the same
enthusiasm and dedication as ever. In fact, I'm told you're now
conducting the largest number of campaigns in Council history,
including seven that are in direct response to requests or
suggestions from the White House or other parts of the
Government -- campaigns for Drug Abuse Prevention, Youth
Exchange, Productivity, Private Sector Initiatives, Anti-Drunk
Driving, Health Promotion, and the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island
Centennial. If someone were to ask me to top that list, I just
don't think I could.

PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: CITIZENS FOR THE REPUBLIC DINNER
MONDAY, MAY 2, 1983
Good evening. I am sorry Nancy and I can't be with you in
person tonight; it would be one of those special moments when we
would find ourselves surrounded by only friends and fellow
believers. But since we can't be there, I am glad to be able to
speak with you in this way.
First, I want to congratulate you for honoring my close
friend and advisor, Bill Clark. I think you all agree that since
joining this Administration, at some personal sacrifice, the
Judge has brought a steadiness and objectivity we must have for
success. I rely on his judgement and trust his instincts. He
deserves all the thanks and support we can give him.
I also want to thank the rest of you -- my friends who make
up the membership of Citizens for the Republic -- for your loyal
support. Most of you have been at my side or campaigning for the
conservative cause for a great many years, and it is you I most
count on now in this critical period.
Sometimes in the hurly-burly of legislative battles and
Washington squabbles we lose sight of all we have accomplished.
But our progress has been significant.
As the result of our economic recovery program, inflation
has plummeted. Inflation during the last quarter was lower than
during any other comparable period in nearly 25 years. Interest
rates -- once crippling businesses, jobs and families -- are now
less than half what they were. The leading economic indicators

PRESIDENTIAL TAPING: PIK AUDIO TAPE
MONDAY, MAY 2, 1983
Not long ago we offered farm families a temporary program to
help them through a difficult period of adjustment. We call it
the payment-in-kind, or PIK [pick] program. If farmers take a
certain amount of land out of production, they can swap what they
don't grow for a certain amount of the commodity already in
surplus. In other words, part of the harvest will come from the
surplus.
A majority of the Nation's farmers have signed up for PIK -
offering to take more than 80 million acres out of production.
That much land is difficult to imagine - it's nearly as big as
the entire state of California.
But this huge amount of land will not be idle. It will be
put into soil and water conservation use, protected from erosion,
building up natural resources for tomorrow's crops.
We can all be proud of the way farmers are cooperating to
move us out of these trying times, benefiting not only their own
community but all of us who look to them for food and fiber.
They're helping bring us closer to a healthy farm economy that
can function without excessive Government support. I would like
to thank all of those involved in the PIK program as well as
Secretary of Agriculture Jack Block and his team for making this
innovative approach possible.
Thank you very much.
