THE WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON

RECOMMENDED TELEPHONE CALLS

TO · Congressman Albert Gore, .Jr. (Tenn.), and Congressman Tim Lee Carter (Ky.}

DATE Juae 8, 1978

RECOMMENDED BY: Frank Moore Jll/.

BACKGROUND The key vote will oc.cur today on the Santini amendment which would gut the Hospital Cost Containment bill by substituting a voluntary prog.ram to be monitored by a commission which would make recommendations if the hospital industry failed to meet the voluntary goals in ·cost reductions. The headcount in Commerce on final passage is still very close.

In as much as we and the labor movement ar.e opposed to the S'antini substitute, we should be able to defeat it. On the motioa to recommit yesterday morning,, we were opposed by the AHA, the FAR, the ~., and labor. The recommittal vote was 24-16. Congressman Gore is still undec.ided but he's L -f l1sten1ng and 1t may be possible to get him. He voted with us on the recommit.

, Congressman Carter is stil.l with us, but J _ 0 we can be sure he is getting extraordinary MJl'( press·ure fr:-.om ·his GOP colleagues. He is ~ very important to us -- well worth a call. 0 .

TALKING POINTS FOR CONGRESSMAN GORE:

Hal.e Champion met with Gore yesterday morning; Gore listened well, but the result was inconclusive and Gore remains undecided about his positi.on. However, G.o;re v.oted with us on the m.otion to recommit the bill to Subcommi t.tee, and he should be thanked for that vote.

Certain .of Gore's comments t.o the Under Secretary regarding, rural hospitals indicate that he still does n.ot fully understand the bill and that he c.onfuses it with health planning. (On health planning, by the way, strong protections have already been adopted--bo.th in the draft legislat1.on reported by the House. Commerce Committee and by HEW in regulations--to guard ag:ainst disruptions in rural hospitals.)

Go\r'e should be a:ssured that we agree with him about the Becessity to protect rural hospitals, especially in und7r­ served areas, and that We bel1.eve--and other rural Comm1.ttee members agree--the current draft bill does as well in that regard as is pos:sible, without. underC\!ltting: the esseBtial purpose o.f the legis]a,tion. ;zr,~,, ~A~•., fPw/IJ' IN 1/1~ ,,,·lflt·rr it TALKING POINTS FOR CONGRESSMAN CARTER:

Congres·sman Carter should be called and thanked for his strong support and leadership on this bill, in the face of constant and heavy lobby1.ng from opponents and great pressure from his Republican colleagues. He should be praised and thanked for his eloquent statement this morning in oppos.i tion to the motion to recommit, and urged to continue to avoid eroding amendm7n to the "Rogers/Carter" compromise.

I. PURPOSE To explain to these Sena.tors who have indica ted support for your program your own deep commitment to it and to ask for their help in developing a plan for bringing the issue to the Senate floor.

II. BACKGROUND, PARTICIPANTS & p,RESS PLAN A. Background: We have convened these 1.3 Sena.tors in order to discuss with them how we can build a leadership group to· carry o.ur program to the Senate. floor. Our work in the Senate is more difficult than in the·House because the SFRC, while supporting the FMS. portion of the Eastern ·Mediterranean proposal, disapproved lifting the embargo 8 to 4. During the meeting we should discuss how t.o develop a leadership group for the Senate floor .debat.e and the tactics and timing for the introduc.tion of the floor amendment. When you enter, we will l:lave been meeting since 8:00a.m. Secretary Vance opened the briefing.with a description of your talks with Ecevit and Caramanlis. Secretary Brown will have talked about our ·s.trategic interests. B. Participants:

III. TALKING PO_INTS

1 • _The Eastern Mediterranean ini t±ative is. a top priority· it~Il\ because- the proposals are des±g_ned to break the impasse which is (a) frustrating progress-on the Cyprus problem; . (b) straining _re-lations with two valliled allies-, Greece and' TUrKey; and (c} .contrib1.:1ti-ng to the serious deter iora tipn of U.S .. · and NATO sec.l!lr i ty · interests in .the-Eastern Mediterranean.

3 •. We are simu1-taneously working with House members to contact and brief them •.

4. Because the: S·enate is tied up with Labor Reform, the· House will probabl¥' have to vote on bhe question' first. It would obviously be; helpful if we cpuld get· some public actiyity·in the Senate •. Perhaps Senator Stennis. will agree-;to havinghearings'in the-Armed Services Colilmi t:t;ee. ··

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503 JUN 0 2 1978

MEMORANDUM POR:

FROM:

SUBJECT: New Planning and Constru.cUon Starts on Water !Resources Projects

Your FY 19·79 Budget i nd•uded no 11ew construction or pl annii1719 starts for the water resou,rce deve 1opment agencies, promi:s*ng that new starts would be considered in conjunction with· your water policy recomme111dations. We :lilave stated; since that you would: indeed recom­ mend some new starts--the first such recommendati-ons from the Executive Branch in four years.

We. recommend that you approve and send to the Congress the new construction and planning starts set forth in the attached listings: 29 new construction starts· at a total estimated Fede.ral cost of about $681 million and 10 pl:anning starts. We also recommend a budget amendment for $75 mHlion to fully fund approx:iimately 25 Soil ConservaUon Service small watershed projects which wtll be selected later thi:s year. The outlay effects of a new start package of this magnitude in 1979 can be accommodated wnhin the 1980 target planning levels now under discussiion, though ongoing construction wHl have to be stretched out somewhat .. The p.rojects we are recommendi·ng fo 11 owing di scussi'ons with the Departments of the. Army and Interior meet the economic and environ­ mental criteri:a included in our water policy reform recommendations. In addition, these projects are procedu·rally ready for construction or detailed planning. Although most of the projects are tradiUonal structural measures, two of them are non-structural. Jhe projects which we recommend were selected from a much larger ·universe of 68 potentia.l constructi;on starts {52 Corps and 16 Bureau of Reclamation} and' 50 potential planning starts (all Corps}. 'lihose not selected tend to have procedural problems (e.g'., the lack of an

,;._·: •t

2 EIS or completed p·lan), major environmental problems, low benefit­ to-cost ratios, or involve relatively low priority outputs (e.g., recreational boat harbors as opposed to urban flood control). You should know that two of the candidate projects are opposed by some environmental organtzations. They are t·he Barbers Point Harbor in Hawaii and a unit of the Missouri River Levee System in Iowa .• The Barbers Point project would provide a new deep-draft harbor to supplement Honolulu Harbor on the Island of Oahu which is now. approaching capacity. The project has a high benefit cost ratio (5.7 at 6-5/8%) and is supported by the State of Hawaii. No strong adverse views were expressed by any of the State and Federal agenci,es whic·h commented on the project when it was under review. However, the National Wi'ldlife Fede.ration has expressed concern about possible adverse effects on ground water aquifers from salt water intrusion when a 4'Q,..foot channel is dredged, and concerns have· .a 1so been ex­ pressed about possible adverse impacts on endangered plants, arche­ ological sites and coral reefs. These environmental objections have. come to our attention only in the past few days, and Army has ag.reed to examine .Ute aqu·ifer questi'on before construction actually starts. Senators Inouye and Matsunaga have expressed strong interest in t·hi s project to Frank. Moore •s staff and; will be disappointed if it is rwt sent forward. The Missouri River Levee project would consist of about 95,000 feet of levees along. the Missouri River to protect about 24,000 acres .of predominantly agricultural land. Much of the 'Missouri River agri.cul­ tural land is a.lready protected by levees, and this particular self­ contained unit would complete one of the last remaining jt.tstifiable segments on the River. (Private levees where this project would be located already provide p.rotection against 25-yea·r floods.) lt is the only agricultural flood control project on this list, and it is suppo.rted by the concerned State and local agenci·es. The Environ­ mental Policy Center opposes this project because it believes that the project would conflict with your policies on flood pl'a.in mattage­ ment. The project is structural, a·nd the protection provided by the levee i's likely to induce development in the protected area. Senator Clark ·has told Frank Moore•s staff that he is personally familiar with t;he levee in question, wa·s greatly surprised to l:earn that there was any environmenta.l objection to it, and i's in favor of its constructton4 ~~~. . tall'ft&t I~&;Ptapnl

THE WHITE HOU'S.E

WASHINGTON June 8, 1978 Ffl

MEMORANDUM FOR FRANK MOORE

FROM: J.IM FRE9'f.

SUBJECT: ~lal:>ama Political Situation

On july 7, 1978, whj.ch is the last day to file for office in Alabama, th.e voters will begin the official process of choosing nominees to fill every office in Alabg:ma f;rom the local school boards to both U.S. Senate seats. The voter·s will decide on the offices of Governor, Lt. Governor, and all seven congressional seats, Some hotly contested.

The Governor today announced the appointment of Mrs. Allen to fill the vacant Senate seat untll the special election. The election will be held at tbe same time as the general election in November. The Governor also intenQ.s to announce his plans to seek that office in November. This will throw Alab~~a into even more confusion politically since Senator Allen's widow Maryon is going to se$k the seat in the general election in November (having made the announcement thiS morning). Tbe late Senator was, without question, the most popular figure in Alabama politics, having received an almost 90% favorable rating in a recent poll. The Senator had let it be known that if anything happened to him, he wanted Maryon to serve out his ter~.. Mrs. Al.len is an ambitious woman, havipg been given a lot of credit for her .husband's success irt Alabama politics. She is strong and would be very formidable in a statewide election. A race between Mrs. A:).len and Governor Wallace would be very personal and rough. If my impressions of the Governor'~ tailing support are true, and if Mrs. Allen can keep her husband's organization in tact, I would have to give her the eQ.ge.in the race--- but November is a long time off. ·

The other Senate seat being vacated by Senator Sparkman has a former Chief Justice of the. Aiabama Supreme Court, Hal Heflin, running against Rep. Walter Flowers. Heflin started his campaign against Governor Wallace who, up until two weeks ago, was an announced candidate. With Wallace out of the race,

:! ..

- 2 -

Heflin is now seen as the front runner, but he has lost his major issue, Wallace, himself. Heflin has other problems. He is 62 years :old and Alabama is very conscious of seniority and sees 47 year old Flowers as having more time to build up seniority. Heflin also authored judicial articles which created an unreasonable pension system for the State Judiciary. The pension system is being .criticized in every forum and paper in the state, with Heflin's getting bad pres~ for it.

Rep. Flowers is already doing well in the polls. He is an aggressive campaigner and able to give a much more vigorous image than Heflin. Also his ten years in Congress will be used as an example of Washington experience. Flower's problems are that he is from the downstate area while Heflin is from the heavily Democratic Tennessee Valley area. Flowers also has some well known personal problems which could hurt in a conservative area like Alabama. All things being considered, it is a toss up, with Flowers seen as the comer and projected winner.

The Governor's race has a crowded field but the top candidates are former Governor Albert Brewer, Lt. Governor Jim Beesley, and State Attorney Bill Baxley. The polls all show Brewer way out front, with Beesley and Baxley even.

Brewer was the Lt. Governor when Gov. Lurleen Wallace died. In a very close run off election, he was defeated by . Brewer left office in pretty good shape and with no scandal. He is running a low key campaign and.-wi11· .make no personal appearances until mid-July. Brewer helped in the Carter campaign and is a good friend of mine. If the polls are any indication and with the problems the other two major candidates have, I would say that Brewer will win.

Beesley is the Lt. Governor and has incurred the wrath of the Wallace group for his constant stand against Wallace. He is also somewhat untactful and has made most of the State Senate, the Speaker of the State House, and Mrs. Jim Allen less than his friends. I would say that Beesley has problems hard to overcome. Beesley also did not help Jimmy carter at all.

Baxley is the sleeper in the race. Baxley has been a very controversial figure, having been involved in a Los Vegas gambling episode which got a lot of press and being connected through some bank loans to a New Orleans figure of questionable character. Baxley has the liberal support of the State. He, without doubt, was Carter's chief supporter in Alabama and many of. his people worked in our campaign. - 3 -

Another possibility is State Senator Sid McDonald, but many things would have to change for him to become a contender. I know all these candidates and plan to keep in touch with all of them.

The Lt. Governor's race is the most crowded in the State with around 10 candidates. The front runners are State Senator George McMillan of Birmingham, State Senator Bert Banks and State Senator Bill King.

King was our Co-Chairman in Alabama and did an excellent job for us. Everyone I checked with claimed that if King got in the runoff, he would win because he is from the Tennessee Valley area where the votes. are. We owe Bill King every bit of support we can give him.

Congressional races are exciting for the first time since 1964. Walter Flowers' seat appears sage for the Democrat with Flowers' former law partner, Dick Shelby, the likely winner. The Republican held seat in Montgomery may develop into a race. The Republican incumbent is Bill Dickinson. He has had a very scandelous and stormy domestic problem which has many people claiming he can be beaten. The Democrats running are State Senator Wendell Mitchell and District Assistant to Senator Sparkman, Bob Geddie. Mitchell is ahead now, but no one is counting Geddie out. If things develop in this race, we ought to pour everything available into it to beat Dickinson.

A long shot is the Mobile seat now held by Rep. Jack Edwards. State Senator Red Noonan, a former quarterback and a very popular man, is running against Edwards. Noonan's wife, Ruby, worked full time in the Carter campaign. Chances are slim Noonan can beat Edwards, but we should keep our eye on the race in case things change.

The attitude in Alabama toward the Administration is best explained by the attached article. The Panama Canal Treaties, et al, have gotten us into trouble but we have neglected to keep up our contacts and we need to begin before its too late!
