"--...,._ _.. ._ .. ___. SENIOR STAFF MEETING ACTION ITEMS (10/01/84)
ITEM ACTION
1. Today's Schedule: The President will travel to Detroit Speakes and Biloxi today.
2. Continuing Resolution: The Senate has passed a two day Oglesby extension in order to allow more time to resolve problems that have arisen on this legislation; the House will prob- ably take up the extension this afternoon. The President will today announce his intention of signing the extension once it reaches him. On the CR itself, the Senate is still tied up procedurally, with the main cause being Title IX legislation that proponents are seeking to attach. Senator Dole is trying to broker a compromise, and there were dis- cussions between the parties on Saturday regarding how the problem might be resolved. No solution is yet in sight, however. Once the matter reaches conference we are hoping that a "clean" CR can emerge.
This week, the House is expected to take up Rep. Jones' balanced budget proposal, trade legislation, and the debt limit. Also, it was noted that the House has not yet adopted a budget resolution.
The Senate will, in the course of the week, take up the genocide treaty, the Balanced Budget Amendment, and product liability.
3. Embassy Security: An authorization for increased security Oglesby at U.S. embassies continues to make progress in the House.
4. Immigration: The conference on this issue will reconvene Oglesby this week.
5. Highway Legislation: Efforts are continuing to resolve Oglesby the problems which have prevented passage of this legisla- tion.
6. Cabinet Activity: No Cabinet meetings are scheduled this Fuller week. The main issue pending is the Vice President's financial institutions reform package, which we hope will be acted on before October 11.
7. Gromyko Meeting: We have no plans to respond directly to McFarlane criticism from Mondale about the lack of results from the President's meeting with Gromyko. Guidance is that pro- gress was made, and this fact is being recognized by leading analysts. SENIOR STAFF MEETINGS -- Thursday, October 4, 1984
A. ~eni~ Staff Agenda ~ 1. Review President's schedule (attached)
Lunch with the Vice President
Meeting with GOP members of Congress candidates; photo on South Lawn
C ntinuing resolution-- status of legislation, in cluding aid to contras. Also, what are the prospects regarding a shutdown, and when will a decision have to be made?
3. Arrest of FBI agent-- President may be asked about this if there is a photo op today.
Beirut bombing-- guidance re.House Intelliqenca ~ittee report that there was adequate warninq of a possible terrorist attack. The report goes on to refute the President's statement re previous cutbacks in intelligence-- an unusual step that seems to imply political motives by the committee.
5 • Debate preparations-- you may want t~ reiterate your caution re commenting on these. Alsri>, are there particular issues on which more information may be needed?
Timber bill-- you may want to mention that no decision has yet been made on this bill. Many WH I staffers are being called by its supporters. 7. Tax reform-- yesterday, Regan indicated he will J probably recommend a modified flat tax to the President. Guidance will be needed.
8. Trade legislation-- different measures have been passed by the House and the Senate. They will now go to conference. A brief description of the bills and status would be desirable.

ON Camp David SENIOR STAFF MEETING ACTION ITEMS (10/04/84)
ITEM ACTION
1. Today's Schedule: There will be press coverage of the Speakes 1:30 photo session with GOP congressional candidates. However, Senate participation may be minimal since they are in session.
2. Continuing Resolution: After voting to retain anti-crime Oglesby provisions, the Senate has nearly completed work on the CR. The legislation is expected to go to conference around 5:00 p.m. today, which means that a CR would not be passed be- fore tomorrow at the earliest. Neither house seems in- clined to pass another short extension.
Regarding a possible government shutdown, furlough notif i Wright cations to non-essential personnel will begin at 10:00 a.m. Rogers with actual furloughs being initiated around noon (barring passage of another extension) • This procedure will include White House staff.
3. Tax Reform and Simplification: Regarding Secretary Speakes Regan's statements about a modified flat tax, guidance is that it is simply one of the options being studied. How ever, no decisions have been made, and no recommendations have been forwarded to the President.
4. Timber: A good deal of interest has been expressed in Oglesby this bill, which attempts to settle a dispute over timbe r Svahn contracts in the Northwest. Though the legislation has passed Congress, no decision has yet been made on whether we will accept it.
5. Saturday Radio Talk: Any suggestions regarding a topic Darman for this week's speech should be forwarded to Dick Darman.
6. Beirut Embassy Bombing: Yesterday's critical report by McFarlane the House Intelligence Committee draws unwarranted con clusions regarding intelligence information on a possible attack.
7. Naval Petroleum Re serves: A decision memo on the future Fuller of these reserve s has bee n circulated for comme nt, and Sva hn will be sent to the President shortly. All agencies agree that production at Elk Hills should continue for one year. However, DOD wants revenue from that production ($3 billion) set aside to help secure additional supplies to meet their needs during a national eme rgency.

ITEM ACTION
1. Today's Schedule: The President will travel to Michigan Speakes today.
2. Continuing Resolution: House Democrats reportedly offered Oglesby last night to drop a number of water projects from the CR. It is hoped that this will allow progress, though we do not yet know Sen. Hatfield's reaction. If the CR begins moving, it could reach the White House today.
3. Immigration: This bill now appears to have little chance Oglesby for passage.
4. Export Administration Act: Since this legislation has not Oglesby been passed, another extension of the Act will be necessary. 5. Trade Legislation: It was noted that this has now been passed.
6. OCS Revenue Sharing: It does not appear that this bill Oglesby will be passed before Congress adjourns.
7. Genocide Convention: This treaty will be taken up today Oglesby in the Senate.

2. Continuing Resolution: The CR was passed by the House Oglesby last night, and the Senate is expected to pass it today. Though water projects have been removed, it is still not as good as we had hoped on certain defense items.
3. Debt Limit: This measure may be passed early today, at Oglesby which point Congress may adjourn.
4. Export Administration Act: This bill, which was passed by Oglesby the Senate yesterday, is considered to be our biggest problem on the Hill at this point. It still must go through the House Rules Committee, and we are hopeful it can be bottled up there.
5. Nominations: Our Legal Services nominees are the largest Oglesby bloc of people who have not yet been confirmed by the Herrington Senate.

A. S~or Staff Agenda 7 vl./ Review President's schedule (attached). -- Trip to South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama
2 . Cabinet/issues activity for the week (Fuller/Svahn) .
3. Debate-- you may want to again caution staff re talking about debate preparations. The press will be asking whether RR is being prepared differently. (You may want to focus on the "expectations" game- our statements should note that the pressure this time is on Mondale, who has to clearly win the second debate.)
4 . El Salvador-- should the President say something in public re Duarte's courage in seeking talks with the rebels? (He may be asked. Also, it helps lead into this week's foreign policy debate, much of which will focus on Central America.)
Bills awaiting decision-- are any of the bills we have received targeted for possible veto?
Timber legislation-- when do we expect to sign this bill?
