Hodges Nell Yates THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON BRIEFING PAPER MEETING WITH SUPPORTERS OF TUITION TAX CREDITS DATE: Friday, September 16, 1983 LOCATION: Cabinet Room TIME: 11:00 a.m. FROM: Faith Ryan Whittlesey I. PURPOSE: To discuss legislative plans for tuition tax credits. II. BACKGROUND: The tuition tax credit coalition first met with you on June 22, 1982 at which time the group pledged full support to the tuition tax credit bill your staff had hammered out in previous meetings with them. The coalition recommended at that meeting that tuition tax credit legislation be attached to a major House-passed revenue bill. White House reaction to this recommenda- tion was positive, and the coalition devoted signifi- cant resources to developing Congressional support for this approach. On one occasion later, Secretary Regan publicly expressed a preference for keeping tuition tax credit legislation as a distinct bill, and in fact, your bill has never been moved as an amendment to any piece of legislation. The coalition knows that some GOP Senators do not want to vote on this issue. Tuition tax credit leaders suspect that the White House will give them only lip service and, in the end, not fight to get your bill attached to a House- passed revenue bill. Frustration on this issue is building. Some Catholic tuition tax credit leaders have been publically contemptuous of your efforts to date. Protestant school leaders are even more upset. In addition to tuition tax credits, they have concerns over Administration actions they view as hostile: various Justice Department decisions on specific cases, the new Social Security taxation of religious schools, and Labor Department decisions relating to unemploy- ment insurance taxation. They will tell you that their coalition with the Administration will blow apart if there is no two-House strategy leading to a Senate vote this year.

Listing of Attendees 2. Talking Points SUGGESTED TALKING POINTS FOR MEETING WITH TUITION TAX CREDIT COALITION -- It is a pleasure to welcome this coalition back to the White House. -- When I met with most of you here in the White House on June 22nd of last year, we all agreed to fight hard for the tuition tax credit bill which we had drafted together. -- Since that time, our coalition has made some progress. We worked to get the bill through the Senate Finance Committee in a form which was acceptable. After a couple of close tough fights, we won that battle, and now have a good bill ready for Senate floor action. -- Now we are confronted with the need to get our bill through the Senate and then through the House. I know full well that only a two-House strategy will work. -- On Wednesday of this week, I spoke with Senator Howard Baker and Senator Bob Dole on this topic. I urged them to help us get tuition tax credits as an amendment to a House-passed revenue bill this year. : In response, the two Senators gave me a firm commitment that tuition tax credits will be taken up on the Senate floor this year. - 2 - -- Now, I know you will ask if the Senators agreed to a specific, House-passed revenue bill as a vehicle. They did not. They agreed that they would get back together with me very soon to work out a specific strategy for Senate passage. -- I called you all in today to let you know the current status of this bill we all support. It is at the very top of my domestic legislation priority list. -- As you know, my staff has in the past year proposed alternate legislative vehicles for tuition tax credits. For various reasons, these proposals were not adopted by our supporters in the Senate. -- I want you all to know now that I am personally involved with the Senators on this bill. And I will settle for nothing less than a two-House strategy which can bring this long overdue bill to my desk for signature.
