Dear Alexis:
I wanted to let you know that in addition to inviting the President
to Speaker Brown's upcoming Education Summit, we have extended
invitations to Mrs. Clinton and various federal officials and
congressional members. Copies of these letters of invitation are
enclosed.
The location and date of the Summit, as specified in the enclosed
letters, are tentative and subject to change. As soon as the
location and dates are finalized, we will let you know immediately.
As with last year's Economic Summit, we believe that the Education
Summit will be a solid step toward establishing a legislative
agenda for educational reform in California and possibly around the
country.
Anything you can do to assist us in our request for the
participation of the President and the others would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you, again, for your efforts on our behalf.
Sincerely,
MICHAEL V. GALIZIO

Dear President Clinton:
Last Tuesday, California's voters wisely rejected Proposition 174,
an initiative that would have imposed a dangerous voucher plan on
this state's public school system. But despite the overwhelming
vote against vouchers, the voters have also sent policy makers a
strong message that public education is in need of serious reform.
In response to that concern, I have announced my intention to host
a California Education Summit next February for the purpose of
developing a substantive education reform agenda for action by the
California Legislature in 1994.
Because of your commitment to the improvement of education in the
nation, both as a governor and now as President, it is my pleasure
to invite you to address this Summit. I would be honored if you
could open the proceedings to set the tone for the event, but I
would be more than happy to accommodate your schedule.
The Education Summit will take place in Los Angeles at the Biltmore
Hotel on February 15 and 16. Last year's Economic Summit, in which
you and members of your administration played key roles, set the
stage for one of the most productive sessions of the California
Legislature in history. I believe this Education Summit will set
the stage for the same kind of thoughtful policy debate and
substantive action plan for the improvement of the largest public
school system in the nation.
I have also extended an invitation to Secretary Riley to address the
Summit participants.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. I look forward to
seeing you in Los Angeles.

February 15 and 16. Last year's Economic Summit, in which members
of the Clinton administration played key roles, set the stage for
one of the most productive sessions of the California Legislature in
history. I believe this Education Summit will set the stage for the
same kind of thoughtful policy debate and substantive action plan
for the improvement of the largest public school system in the
nation.

Dear Congressman Kildee:
This November, California's voters wisely rejected Proposition 174,
an initiative that would have imposed a dangerous voucher plan on
this state's public school system. But despite the overwhelming
vote against vouchers, the voters have also sent policymakers a
strong message that public education is in need of serious reform.
In response to that concern, I have announced my intention to host
a California Education Summit next February for the purpose of
developing a substantive education reform agenda for action by the
California Legislature in 1994.
Today, as in no other time in history, the education of our children
encompasses a broad field of subject areas and issues. Because of
your strong commitment to the people of this nation and as Chairman
of the Subcommittee on Elementary, Secondary, and Vocational
Education, it is my pleasure to invite you to be a participant in
this summit. Your input and expertise would go a long way toward
helping us achieve the Education Summit's goals. A letter of
invitation has also been forwarded to Congressman Ford, Chairman of
the Committee on Education and Labor.
The Summit will take place in Los Angeles at the Biltmore Hotel on
February 15 and 16. Last year's Economic Summit, in which members
of the Clinton administration played key roles, set the stage for
one of the most productive sessions of the California Legislature in
history. I believe this Education Summit will set the stage for the
same kind of thoughtful policy debate and substantive action plan
for the improvement of the largest public school system in the

MEMORANDUM FOR STEVE HILTON
FROM: AMY ZISOOK
SUBJECT: CONGRESSWOMAN CARRIE MEEKS
I received a call from Peggy Demon of Congresswoman Meek's office
today requesting the list of business supporters of NAFTA. She
had tried reaching Alexis and when she couldn't, she called me.
As you recall, she changed her vote and supported the treaty.
Now. Labor is withdrawing all of their support for her and she is
forced to cancel events.
I think we should look at helping her in a more constructive way
than simply handing over a list. I have a call into Tim Keating
to discuss this with him as well.
Please advise!

Re:
Minority Business Opportunity Committee
It is my understanding that the Department of Commerce is soon
going to establish a Minority Business Opportunity Committee in
Jacksonville. It seems to me that establishment of a separate
entity to serve the minority business community is duplicative and
unnecessary. My city has an excellent Minority Business
Development Center and if additional services are needed, then we
should expand the responsibilities of the existing Center. In
addition, it would be confusing to those who want services to set
up two different agencies. One service center makes sense. At
present, the Minority Business Development Center in Jacksonville

There are currently 840 civilians employed at the base. There are
also 424 contractors. The number of military personnel who will be
affected is 7,060.
The base's anticipated closure date is July 1999. This is when the
last aircraft leaves; thus the base will cease operations. There
will probably be some personnel left behind who will be involved in
environmental cleanup. The anticipated loss to the local economy
is $481 million.

Dear Ms. Herman:
Enclosed you will find a memorandum regarding the
establishment of an Urban Renewal and Defense Conversion Pilot
Project in Jacksonville, Florida. While I am pleased to see that
the Federal government is concerned with economic development in
my Congressional district, I would appreciate prior notification
of any and all government activity that transpires there.
I have attached an example that illustrates the manner in
which government representatives have conducted business in my
Congressional district without making my office aware of their
proceedings.
With kindest regards, I am
Sincerely,
Corine

MEMORANDUM TO WILLIAM GINSBERG AND WILBUR HAWKINS
FROM:
Alvin Brown
Ditas Katague
SUBJECT: Jacksonville, Florida Urban Renewal and Defense Conversion Priority
Pilot Project
BACKGROUND: Cecil Field, Naval Air Station in Jacksonville slated for the first
round of base closures has projected a loss of 16,000 jobs with an economic impact
of over $500 Million. Due to the economic impact and other urban distress,
Jacksonville has been elevated to a Status I Cabinet level priority. In addition to the
base closure, Jacksonville's Northwest Quadrant, a predominantly minority community
has a high level of unemployment and appears to be a severely economically
distressed area. The Clinton Administration has a major commitment to assist this
community.
The City of Jacksonville and the Mayor's office have begun an "Urban Renalesance"
effort focusing on the southern part of the city with Nitle consideration for the
distressed minority communities. Considering these factors, a team from
headquarters was assembled to tour the area and meet with community and business
leaders.
FINDINGS: 1) Northwest Quadrant Tour - Accompanied by Boyd Rese, Chief of
the Planning/Technical Assistance Division based in Atlanta and Lots Smith, State
EDR, we toured the Northwest Quadrant and found severe lack of basic infrastructury
including unfinished sewer lines and sidewalks. Also, most neighborhoods in the
Northwest Quadrant have no local grocery store or financial institution. Over
people a day commute on buses to the nearest grocery store over 10 miles away.
Following the tour, we met with the Jacksonville Northwest Task Force and discussed
their frustration and need for federal assistance.
2) Cecil Field Naval Air Station - We attended the Mayor's Base Reuse Commission
meeting discussing options for Cecil Field's 25,000 acres. We met with Herb
McCarthy, Chief of Staff for the Mayor's Commission on Base Realignment and
Closure who will provide us a concept paper regarding the discussed options for
conversion of Cecil Field.
PLAYERS: The involvement of the following people has been secured and they are
supportive of any actions or policies we might suggest for Jacksonville: Mayor's
Office, City HUD, Jacksonville NW Task Force, Edward Waters College (historically
black college), Florida State Economic Development Office, private business owners
and corporations, and other community leaders.

BY FACSIMILE
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE POLICY COMMITTEE OF THE BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE
On January 13th and 14th we held conference calls with those of you who were available.
Forty-five of you participated on the calls and twelve more called me or sent me notes
expressing your views. We had the views of over two-thirds of the Policy Committee.
The dynamics of the two calls were different. On the first call there was much more concern
regarding employer mandates and their significance to the health care debate. In the second call
members were far more concerned with the fundamental approach of the Clinton plan.
It was clear from the discussions that there are problems with both the Clinton and the Cooper-
Grandy-Breaux-Durenberger bills. Key concerns raised about the Clinton plan include the
magnitude of the cost and financing problems, the heavy regulation of the alliances and the use
of price comrols. The issue of tax deductibility of employer costs and cost shifting were
concerns identified with respect to the Cooper-Breaux bills.
Fourteen members of the Policy Committee do not believe that Cooper-Grandy-Breaux-
Durenberger should be the starting point for health care reform. Many of them feel strongly
about it. Some of those members support the Clinton plan.
The strong majority, however, (43 members) voted to support Cooper-Breaux as a starting
point. There was not a strong consensus as to when to finalize that position. Thirty-two wanted
to issue a statement immediately and twenty-five wished to wait.
Those wishing to wait indicated the White House was willing to make changes in its bill and
suggested that we put off a final decision until the February 2nd Policy Committee meeting.
Those members working with the White House will see what kind of changes the Administration

is willing to make and report at the February 2nd meeting. Given the close vote, Bob Winters
and I have decided to wan until February 2nd to ask for a final decision.
In the meantime, we have received 1 number of calls from reporters who have caught wind of
our discussions inquiring about our position. We have prepared the attached statement to
respond to these inquiries.
Thank you for your participation and input. I look forward to seeing you on the 2nd.
Sincerely,

STATEMENT FOR RESPONSE TO MEDIA INQUIRIES

MEMORANDUM FOR ANTHONY LAKE
RICKI SEIDMAN
FROM:
ALEXIS HERMAN
SUBJECT:
MILWAUKEE TRIP
The Office of Public Liaison has proposed, in coordination with
the National Security Council, that the President meet with
members of the Central European American community prior to his
departure to Prague. The purpose of this meeting is to:
(1) affirm the United States commitment to Central Europe
within the Polish, Hungarian, Czech, and Slovak
American communities,
(2) gain the support of ethnic American leaders who
maintain strong ties with their homeland to
(a) communicate and reinforce our resolve to
European leaders and
(b) allay fears within the ethnic American community
that the U.S. is not doing enough to promote
democracy and economic development and ensure
security in Central Europe.
We recommend a Milwaukee meeting, where the President will make
a major foreign policy address prior to his departure to
Prague.
PROPOSED ACTIVITIES
(1) Pre-Dinner for leadership of Polish, Hungarian, Czech, and
Slovak American communities with Office of Public Liaison
and National Security Council staff.
On the evening of January 5th in Milwaukee, we will host a
working dinner with the leadership of Polish, Hungarian,
Czech, and Slovak American communities. The purpose of
the dinner is to flush out issues of concern and frame the
discussion for the next day.
(2) Audience building for the President's foreign policy
address.
The audience for the foreign policy address should be
diverse. The Office of Public Liaison will build an
audience that focuses on ethnic Americans, including
Central European, Eastern European, and Russian Americans.
We are compiling a list of approximately 200 ethnic
leaders and supporters for the speech. This number can be
adjusted depending on the total size of the audience. The
Office of Public Liaison will provide additional
constituency lists as needed.
(3) Roundtable discussion with the President and leadership of
Polish, Hungarian, Czech, and Slovak American communities.
The roundtable discussion can be held after the
President's speech on January 6th. Depending on the time
of day, the roundtable can be done over coffee or lunch.
The Office of Public Liaison is constructing a list of 20-
25 potential invitees and working with the National
Security Council to lay out the framework for the
discussion.

SUBJECT:
MILWAUKEE TRIP
As a follow up to our discussions concerning the President's trip
to Milwaukee, I want to express my interest in having Daniel Fried
of the NSC, participate in the ethnic outreach activities on the
Milwaukee trip scheduled for January 6th.
Daniel Fried has been working with Marilyn DiGiacobbe of my staff
in addressing the concerns of members of the Polish and Hungarian
American communities and has made himself available for meetings
and briefings with these groups. His participation in the
roundtable discussion and the pre-dinner with ethnic leaders, would
be valuable to the consistency of our outreach.
Thank you for your consideration.

Re:
Meeting of Former Senate Committee Staff Directors
Attached is the list of the former Senate Democratic staff directors group with whom I
suggested you meet. During the 1970's, regular meetings were held of the "Chairmen's
representatives" a group composed of the lead Committee staff persons for each Senate Full
Committee Chairman. In some cases this was an AA but usually a staff director. The group
continues to get together for breakfast from time to time and is now loosely referred to as the
Friday Breakfast Group.
Lee Williams, the Fullbright AA who hired Clinton, who is a member of the group, has
arranged for Roy Neel to speak to the group at a luncheon on Tuesday, August 3.
While it would not make sense to have the meeting we discussed right away, given the
luncheon, I still think you should bring the group in for a meeting in the Roosevelt room in
September so that you will get to know them, and they can then be called on to help again in
the future. This is as dedicated a group of Democrats as you will find in this town, and
represents an old guard that knows how to make things happen.
This group was invited to one of the larger briefings last week by your office, and I have
attached a letter I sent to encourage participation. Several members of this group have attended
the meetings which Caren Wilcox has organized, and are actively working in support of the
President's Economic Plan.

Dear Ms. Herman:
I have enclosed for your review copies of the monograph Historically
Black Colleges and Universities: An Irreplaceable National
Treasure. This document discusses and analyzes the critical
functions that Historically Black Colleges and Universities perform
and should continue to perform with our nation's higher education
system. The current threats facing African-American institutions
of higher learning, particularly some of the developments arising
from the Ayers VS. Fordice decision, are also discussed in this
paper.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would route copies of this
document to the appropriate governmental offices within the
Administration, including the Secretary of Education, Mr. Riley.
At your convenience, I would also very much appreciate the
opportunity to meet with you personally in order to discuss this
document in more detail and the enduring importance of Historically
Black Colleges and Universities.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. President:
I have enclosed a document which extensively discusses the vital role
that Historically Black Colleges and Universities play within our

these invaluable institutions is in great jeopardy because of

SUBJECT: Persian Gulf Veterans Illness
CC:
Mark Gearan

Al Maldon
Arthur Jones
Congressman Montgomery is holding two hearings on the "Persian
Gulf Mystery Illness": a field hearing in Mississippi on January
21 focussing on effects on children; and, a hearing on February 1
in Washington on the illness in general. The Departments of
Defense, Health and Human Services and Veterans Affairs are
sending medical staff to testify at the Mississippi hearing;
Department Secretaries will testify at the February 1 hearing.
In order to try to shape the public discussion before the
hearings, Secretaries Aspin, Shalala and Jesse Brown plan to hold
a press briefing prior to the January 21 hearing. They have set
a tentative date of January 19. We can work with them to set the
volume of their briefing, and thus the volume of the hearings --
however, the hearings will receive press attention regardless of
our input.
Thus far, I have told the Departments to plan for the briefing to
be at an agency and to focus on technical information. However,
Secretary Brown is very interested in personally participating in
the briefing, and it may be difficult to successfully dissuade
him. If he is involved, it seems necessary to balance him with
at least Secretary Aspin. Secretary Shalala may not be
necessary.
We ought to discuss amongst ourselves what kind of input to give
to this briefing. We can raise its profile by encouraging the
Secretaries to attend. We can lower its profile by keeping it
technical, with staff only. In either case, there is little real
news other than the announcement of the interagency group and the
message that the Departments are working together on the issue.

MEMORANDUM FOR ALEXIS HERMAN
From:
Chris Lin
Subject: Welfare Reform -- Senator Moynihan
Per a conversation with Bruce Reed and Jeremy Ben-Ami (Mary Jo
Bane's special assistant), the Welfare Reform Working Group is
under strict instruction by the First Lady to "do whatever is
necessary to make Moynihan happy."
From a policy standpoint:
Due to the aforementioned instruction, the Working Group is
committed to producing legislation that has Moynihan's blessing.
Both Bruce and David Ellwood have met with Moynihan numerous
times on this.
From a timing standpoint:
Moynihan's reactions, triggered by extensive press coverage on
the Administration delaying Welfare Reform, was meant to
foreclose that Welfare Reform is be introduced during the spring.
From a message standpoint:
The Welfare Working Group is working to assure Moynihan that
Welfare will be introduced and passed this year. They hope that
the State of the Union will further emphasize this commitment.
From a legislative standpoint:
We are operating under the assumption that the Committees will
not consider welfare until health care goes through. According
to Bruce, once the welfare legislation is introduced, it will
pass quite speedily (as welfare is anticipated to be much less
controversial than health care).
Call me if you need more specific questions answered.

THOMAS MCLARTY
SUBJECT:
OEP WEEKLY REPORT
JAN 10 1994
FOREST PLAN FOR SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMY
We have reached final agreement with the plaintiffs on the first batch of sales that we will
ask Judge Dwyer to release from injunction, and we are working with the Justice Department
to accomplish this next Thursday (1/13). Stories lifting the mask off the timber industry's
media campaign (the new coalition of non-timber leaders in business, academia, clergy, and
publishing who are lending their names to an effort to overtum the plan) have run in the
Seattle Times and Post-Intelligencer. The Vice President intends to call Boeing's CEO Frank
Schrontz to encourage him to withdraw his support from this campaign. Three excellent
editorials in the same papers reinforce support for your plan. We have not been able to
generate such press in Oregon, but we will continue working on it. The Oregonian is pulling
together a six month retrospective on what the Administration has accomplished since you
announced your plan, and we are working to pull together a good package and will provide
them with access to key people who have been involved with the process. Senator Murray
has been a great help in publicly speaking out against the media campaign and in support of
your plan. The regional directors of the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management
recently held their first interest group and press briefing on their watershed restoration
program which will also provide alternative jobs in the woods.
CLEAN WATER
OMB and the NEC completed the first phase of efforts to cost out several of the significant
components of the Administration's clean water proposal this week with an analysis that --
although requiring more polishing -- will provide a powerful tool in the reauthorization
effort. By making the changes we will be proposing, the Administration will be increasing
the flexibility for states and local governments and saving millions over what might otherwise
be required under existing Clean Water mandates. We will also be tackling the always hard
but necessary issue of control nonpoint source pollution. OEP will now convene an effort to
complete the Administration's recommendations on the reauthorization, which will be
provided to you by the beginning of February.
RUSSIA'S PROPOSED AGREEMENT ON ARCTIC RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION
At the December meeting of the Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission, the Russian side proposed
an agreement on radioactive pollution in the Arctic and pushed for signature at the Clinton-
Yeltsin Summit next week. The Vice President indicated that we would undertake an
expedited review of their proposal, with the possibility that an agreement might be signed at
the Summit. OEP, the NSC Office of Global Environmental Affairs, and OVP coordinated
rapid agency development of a U.S. counter-proposal, which was sent to Russia earlier this
week. Two key points in the U.S. counter-proposal should be mentioned:
(1) The U.S. counter includes a provision committing the Russians to accept the global ban
on ocean dumping of radioactive waste recently adopted by the London Convention. The
Russian proposal was silent on this subject. The U.S. provision would prevent Russia from
"opting out" of the ocean dumping ban, an option that remains open to Russia under the
London Convention until February 20.
(2) While the Russian proposal calls for useful scientific and technical cooperation, it also
would implicitly commit the U.S. to undefined expenditures for disposal of Russian
radioactive wastes. The U.S. proposal avoids commitments to financial assistance; any such
commitments would have to be negotiated separately.
We do not have a response from the Russian side yet.
WETLANDS POLICY
The wetlands policy that we released in August made a commitment to shift responsibility for
identifying wetlands on agricultural lands to the Soil Conservation Service (SCS). This has
been an important issue because farmers have been subjected to two different wetlands
regulatory regimes: one under the Swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act and the
other under the Clean Water Act. As a result, many farmers received conflicting opinions
from the Federal government when identifying wetlands on agricultural lands. The new policy
giving SCS the authority to delineate wetlands on agricultural lands for both statutes was
warmly received by farmers, but caused considerable dismay among environmentalists. On
Thursday (1/6), EPA, the Corps of Engineers, USDA, and DOI signed a Memorandum of
Agreement to implement our new policy. This is reinventing government at its best: we
should get increased protection of wetlands while reducing the burden on the regulatory
community. The agriculture community is generally pleased with the agreement, although the
cattlemen are disappointed that unmanipulated rangelands have not been included within the
definition of agricultural lands. The environmentalists are very skeptical about the initiative,
but have grudgingly conceded that the agreement includes a number of safeguards to protect
the environment.
SUPERFUND
Congressman Swift and Senator Lautenberg plan to introduce Superfund reauthorization bills
on January 26, 1994 and to hold hearings shortly thereafter. The Interagency Policy
Committee on Superfund will be working with Congressional leaders and members of the
National Commission on Superfund in the coming weeks to arrive at a Superfund
reauthorization vehicle that will receive broad stakeholder support. The National Commission
on Superfund is a broad-based group of stakeholders that recently issued recommendations on
Superfund reform.
CLIMATE CHANGE
OEP established a permanent management structure to guide implementation of the Climate
Change Action Plan and for further policy development. The Climate Change Mitigation
Group, which developed the Action Plan, will become an interagency steering committee.
This structure will allow White House coordination across the many elements of climate
change issues. The co-chairs of the transportation policy working group outlined in the
Climate Change Action Plan (OEP, OSTP, NEC) are drafting a PRD for your approval that
outlines the scope of our one-year policy development process. We will set in motion an
interagency review of transportation policy and suggest a Federal Advisory Committee to give
stakeholder input.
ALTERNATIVE FUELS
OEP is coordinating with DOE and OMB to implement the recommendations of the Federal
Fleet Conversion Task Force (FFCTF), and has developed a new proposal for local decision-
making to help guide the Federal procurement process. This proposal will be considered at
the January 24 meeting of the FFCTF.
FEDERAL FACILITIES
The first meeting of the Interagency Policy Committee on Federal Facilities that I co-chair
with Alice Rivlin was held on December 22, 1993. The Committee will meet over the next
two years to develop a comprehensive strategic approach to the Federal government's complex
waste management and cleanup problems. The topic of the first meeting was priority setting
for the management and cleanup of Federal sites.
GLOBE PROGRAM
OEP held a meeting on December 21, 1993, with representatives from the agencies that will
take a leading role in developing and implementing this Vice Presidential environmental
education initiative. Carol Browner (EPA), Jim Baker (NOAA), Dan Goldin (NASA),
Madeleine Kunin (Education), Bob Corell (NSF), Bob Watson (OSTP), and others attended
the meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to brief the agencies on our efforts to develop
the program and to discuss the funding and resource commitments that each agency will make
to the program in the coming years.
REVIEWING AN ADMINISTRATION AGENDA
In an effort to anticipate and map out the coming months, OEP met with representatives of
the relevant White House offices to review and discuss the significant environment and
natural resource issues for the upcoming Congressional session. We have confirmed that
action on the EPA Department bill, the reauthorization of the Clean Water Act and the
Superfund program are key opportunities for the Administration. There remain certain trouble
spots that we need to address firmly and thoroughly -- like unfunded mandates and the need
for greater sensitivity to cost-benefit and risk analysis issues. Congressional and
communication strategies will be required in several areas of potential rough sledding, and the
process to ensure that what needs doing gets done was charted.
