ARRIVAL 1 �} f. DRlVEWAV DEPARTURE. I . TO :HE.!\ TER I j / ISSUES POLITICAL BACKGROUND ---�-·------
Although all Nm·l York State officials face elections this fall, the dominan t issue is the gubernatorial race. Governor Carey had been expected to face only nominal opposition until 48 hours before the Democratic convention , \'then Lieutenant Governor Nary Ann Krupsak, who \vas· scheduled to be renominatr�d, suddenly \vithdre\v and subsequent ly announced her OHn _ cand idacy for Governor. Al though Carey and Krupsak had never been close, her unexpected decis ion to oppose him reflected an emotional reaction to what she perceived to be a Carey snub on a minor matter.
Carey and Krupsak are joined in the September 12 primary by a State Senator from Brooklyn, Jeremi ah Bloom, who is not a maj or factor. The consensus is that Carey is trailing Krupsak by 5-10 points, but that he has gained ground since he began to campaign actively a month ago. Since Krupsak has minimal organizat ion , financial and editorial support� her strength in the polls is mo.r e a re f lection of Carey's politi cal weaknesses than her asse·ts. To a degree, the Governor's unpopularity reflects his unpopular pasi�ians on key emot ipna l issues: his oppo�it ion to capital pu�ish29nt, and his sripport for abortions and the cbntralfarsial u��st:.:ray Eighway in f.lanha·ttan. The Governor's fundam21:.':;.-:<-. pc·G':)lem, hm•le�:er, is �-7idespread public distrust of him person The Democratic nominee will face Assembly Speak2r Perry Duryea (Rep.-Conservative).

In the Republican sweep of 1946, Delaney was defeated, but returned to the House of Representa·tives in 1948. He is the D.�an o;: t.h,::: New York Delegation. Delaney is a 0idower He is retiring froill Congress this y2�r . Do; lane.'/ p3gC 2 1\t this point there are several· conte;1_.=ler for t(·�e D'�mocratic nomination for his seat. Ne are watching thi.s sBat closely because of it's conservative bent. We could lose it. District Background: The ni�th d istri ct comprises the area in which "Archie Bunker" would live. It is s tric tly �vhite collar, middle income homem·mers, vli th virtually no blacks or Puerto Ricans. The voting trad�tion can be terme� poli- tically fickle in its liberal/conservative shifts. Geographically, it is the Quesn.s district closest to Manhattan's chic and the liberal Uppe= East Side. Points of Interest: Rep. Delaney should be singled ou·t since he is Dean of the New York Delegation. As Chairman of the pmverful Rule-s Corn.mittee, he has a lot to say about granting rules to administration bills. h'e need to have several rules g.ranted including l) civil service reform, 2) the tax bill and, 3) airline deregulation.

I. Major New York City Issues New York City Loan Guarantee Act of 1978 .. The Guarantee Bill is described in greater detail in the enrolled bil l memorandum. Essenti�l ly , the legislation would authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to guarantee the payElent of principal on long - term debt issued by c'i'c=':: York City or its financing agent , the Ivlunic·ipal As si s t�c:·tc2 Corporation (�ffiC) , during the four-year period ending June 30, 1982. The Administration's original proposal wa.uld have permitted the issuance of guarantees up to $2 billion, but we do not regard thi.s change by the Congress as likely to be significaht. The Bill permits the Secretary to gua rantee long-term City bonds sold to the City and State pension funds up to t�2 arr.ounts: _ FY · ::oll::-·.:,:;..:.._g 1_500 million in _ ::�:_i..ty 1979,. $500EL_U.-:�'�:�, in FY l930, $325 million in FY 19E: · J.nd $325 ILtillion iF F�·{ 19 :; 2. The duration of the guar: .. ::-tees may not excee�� 15 years and. will l apse if the City debt is sold by th7: pension funds prior to maturi ty . The guarantee authority in FY 1980 and FY l9Bl is subj ect to a one - House veto, and the FY 1982 amoun t can only be used in the event the Secretary determines that the City's budget in that year will be balanced according to gener�lly accepted acc6unting prir1ciples . In ad�ition to the long-term guarantee authority, the Sesret.Ary may gua�antee up to $325 million of short�term loans during FY 1979 if the City pension funds cannot provide saason�l lending assistarice ori an unguaranteed basis r.·lithout endangering their tax-exempt s·tatus. Le·.:;·isL, tion �vhich t�Tould permit the City pension funds to ril.ake such inve.stments wi·thout threaten ing th2ir tax-exernpt stat:.u.s .i.s now pendirig before Senator Bentsen's Senate Finance Sub� COITL.'Tiit tee.

Discussions are beginning, howevef, on contingency pla;\S to fill this gap, including bridge loans by the banks. There are several provisions which reduce the likelihao� or other cities seeking assistance similar tb that which is provided in this legislation. Most importantly, the guarantees may be issued only to employee pension funds of the City or State� as the Administration proposed . In addition, the City would be subject to the following requirerr,ents: (1) '-''- bc:tlcu'..c.:"'-0. annu.c_ '. c�:c::; bi...ldg:?.t by FY 19 8.2; ( 2) submission by the City to -,:::6_ � . oi ic..:.:; financial affairs by an independent auC:.it coG.m:_'_' ''· (3) naintenance by the S ta te of an independent fiscal � · to S'...:per'..d.se the City's financial affairs; and (4) su�: ,_ , '' "--�' by the City to audit� by the General Accounting Offic�- Assu.:.-ning no default by the City, the legislation 1d6ulc.'. not entail any cost to the Federal government.

FRON: JACK V:JATSON SUBJECT: The Presiden�'s Meeting with Cardinal Cooke, TueSday, August 8, 1978 Here's some background information on the agenda items you sent to me for Cardinal Cooke's meeting with the President: 1. South Bronx I visited with Cardinal Cooke and severaL priests from the Bronx on July 17th in New York. . At tL.:, t time, the Cardinal e�pressed t6 me his frustr��ion at the lack of meaningful citizen participation in the City's plans for the South Bronx. He v1as eager that this be rectified through the creation of a central planning and delivery unit vlith a community link-up. I told him that we are negotiating with the City over the design of this unit; and one of our prime considerations is community input in the decision-making process. n1·:= a C rdina l \•las most pleased to have established regular corn.ttmniGations with the tvhite House. For your information ; the statu� of our South Bronx project is as follo�s: --On April 12th, r·anriounced a $55 million package of federal grants and loans to begin a South Bronx redevelopment.effort. Jointly at this press con feren ce , .Nayor Koch presented a II draft proposal n . fer the South Bronx which contained a list . of mostlv� federal projects, none of which were endorsed by the "·:hite House. The City has prepa£ed no clan fer the . ---- �:� CJtlt l1 B.t·o11�z ..

This has net been cclicplete::i yet . However, the City does appear to be iri the final · stage of negotiations with Ed Logue to be project manager. (He used to direct the UDC* in New York, and also headed up the abston Redevelopment Authority.) --The City has beeB. slow in preparing applicat-ions for the grants and loans offered to the South Bronx in April. --The fOllowing pieces of the package are near com pletion or already underway: a� One-stop business service center was set up last month in the South Bronx. Federal, State and City staff are co-located here to help the South Bronx businesses apply for g.overnmeht a-ssistance, obtain permits and cut through red t�pe� b. Open space proj ects hav� been designed by a corrt.munity task force ·and presented to City and federal officials. This p�oposal would create community play yards, resource recovery facili ties, and urban gardens on empty lots in the South Bronx. It would be funded at approximately $0�5 milli on by the Interior Department as soon as the application is complete (late August). 2. Tuition Tax C1�:;-:dit Legislation The Cardinal favors a tuition tax credit for 'elem�n tary and secondary schools , rather than for college. 3. Military Visits Cardinal Cooke is the bishop of Catholics in the 1nilitary. In this capacity, he visited Germany and Italy recently to investigate morale and other condi tiohs. He 0ill w�rit to tell the President what h� 1earnc:d .. . ' , s a . !li legislation 'dOuld ove1:-turn Sup.rc·.·,e Court �uling that employers are hot engaging in sex .. discrimination Hhen they provide disability bene""" fit plans that exclude coverage for pregnancy related disabilities. The legislation now pending in Congress wbuld amend �itle vrt of the Civil. c v a Rights Act to require o er ge for pregnancy· dis abilities in such employee plans. The C�rdinal is interested in a diffe�ence between the House and Senate bills. The Senate bill req�ires coverag,e for all· pregnancy-related disabilities, v.;hile the House bili specifically excludes abortion related disabilities from required coverage. The Administration's position·is neutral on .this issue. �·Je will accept either bill.
