:\fEMORANDUM FOR: MAX FRIEDERSDORF
THROUGH: CHAR LES LEPPERT, JR.
FROM: PATRICK ROWLANil\l,
SUBJECT: Background information for Ohio trip
Attached is the information for the Ohio trip from Representatives Mosher, Latta, Miller, Wylie and Regula. BACKGROUND MATERIAL FR.OM REP. CHARLES MOSHER FOR CONSIDERATION PRIOR TO THE PRESIDENT 1S TRIP TO OHIO
1. Stories· that appeared in the Cleveland Plain Dealer last month regarding the water level of the Great Lakes and, an incorrect summary of the Administra~ion' s views which indicated that the President favored 11 draining the lakes by expanding the water flow through the channels at Niagara Falls. 11
Water levels are a very sensitive issue in this area. People are afraid that expanding the channels would create dry lake beds during the dry seasons.
2. In Northern Ohio there is a great deal of support for Cuyahoga Valley Regional Park - this has been authorized but not purchased.
SOME FALSE ISSUES THAT HAVE MUCH PUBLICITY
{a) Great deal of publicity about proposed legislation dealing with Day Care and Child Care - particularly the Child and Family Service Act.
(b} Petition that had been presented to the FCC regarding the limiting of the number of religious broadcasts. The FCC rejected the petition and fundamentalist church groups are claiming legislation is responsible.
~ There is one issue that is on the farmers minds more than any other factor and and that is the farm embargo situation. Rep. Latta thinks that the President could justify what has happened by stating that the President had no other recourse at the time since the longshoremen were refusing to load ships and some action had to be taken. But that he wants to as sure the farmers that he cannot foresee any circumstance in the future whereby such means would have to be resorted to. BACI<:GROUND MATERIAL FROM REP. CHA .WYLIE FOR CONSIDERATION PRIOR TO THE PRESIDENT 1S TRIP TO OHIO Rep. Wylie himself called and gave the following issues: EC : His constituents are worried about rekindling inflation by stimulating the economy through false programs. Feels that we need inore money in the private sector to support jobs. -----: High utility rate increases including gas supplies. Ohio uses more natural gas than any other state. Rep. Wylie said that deregulation is favored, but with some controls. He also mentioned that Governor Rhodes has made shale gas a big issue in the state. Solar Energy Research - Battell Memorial Institute has done a lot of work with solar energy research and coal gasification. DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED CONGRESS: Congress is a big issue in his District. It is felt that the Congress has done nothing. Rep. Wylie said that the President needs to present himself as a leader. He should bring out that he has come up with his own programs and he has not been able to get them passed because of the Democratic Congress. He should show that the Democrats have not come up with a program of their own either for energy or the economy. PANAJ\,1A CANAL: Rep. Wylie said that his constituents feel that the U.S. should never give up the Panama Canal. To consider giving it up would be symbolic of our becoming a second rate power such as Great Britian has become. Our money and blood, sweat and tears built the canal and they do not want to have a small time dictator · m.ake us give it up. .. - BACKGROUND MATERIAL FROM REP. CLARENCE MILLER FOR CONSIDERATION PRIOR TO THE PRESIDENT 1S TR IP TO OHIO 1. May 12, 1976, story on fron page of the Washington Post (see attached article) on private industry backed on A-fuel. Article relates to approval for an add-on at the existing government research plant at Portsmouth, Ohio. (Also, see attached letters from Ohio delegation and Harsha letter.} 2. Interes~ in completion of the Appalachian Highway which runs through southern Ohio. There have been some delays due to lack of money. 3. Concern about railroad abandonment due to the Northeast Rail Reorganization Act. 4. Higher utility rates have been a source of concern. 5.. District is against the New York bail-out. 6~ Opposition to the FBI and CIA investigation and the leaks. 7. Panama Canal - people in District agree with Reagan. 8. Revenue Sharing - 50% agree for continuation 50% for its termination 9. Inflation, government bureaucracy and government spending have consistently been major is sues of concern in District.

C. \\. leaY Mr. President: i The Ohio Republican Delegation has pledged its full support for construction >f a Federal add-on facility at the Goodyear Atomic Energy Plant at Ports~outb, Ohio. \ccomplishing this would greatly alleviate a severe unemployment problem in the South ~rn Ohio area and, on the whole, benefit the State and the Nation. The Ohio Department of Economic and Coanuuity Development has been working ~ith us and Federal Energy officials in an attempt to obtain the add-on facility for Ohio. The Joint Committee on Atomic Energy has been supplied with facts which prove expa~sion of the existing Goodyear plant will be much less expensive than ~onstruction of a completely new facility, as is currently contemplated for Dothan, ~labama. The independent General Accounting Office also recommended an Ohio facility ex~usion over the Alabama plan due to the cost factors involved. In addition to the GAO report, there are other problem issues associated ~ith this pro?osa1. ERDA says it is essential to have additional enriched uranium capacity by-1983, or we lose a major part of our foreign market while restricting. domestic coneumption as well. If the UEA plan, which is backed by the Administration. is to provide this expanded capacity, it must have enrichment expertise. tJEA does not have the proven ability for this process at the present time. The U.S. taxpayer is being ask~d to stand good for as much as 8 billion dollars should UEA pTove unable to provide this material within the 8-year period. Thi s would pr ovide for an alter~ nate form of production which would, by that time ~ be too late. Should the UEA plant fall short of its expected production, that firm would also be granted access to Govern:nent s t ockpiles so that orders placed with ·chem i n anticipation of acceptable production could be met. In the pas t , there have been two orders frOl'll West Germany for uranium enriched ~o 4l, whi~ ve d id n ot have the capacity to provide. The uranium vas sent to Lo~don, then to the Soviet Union '1here i t was enriched and forwarded to Germany . T&king this as one example, you can imagine how much of this market we will lose if we vait moch longer to act upon this issue. ~======-,..--=-...... ··Lh""""'""OCZ..0::0:: =:;...- ""'--'-~------ April 8, 1976 Page 2 UEA's plan would operate under- the "dead equity ratio" which calls for 85% 4ebt and 15% cash. BECHTEL officials relayed to Mr. George Murphy, Executive Director of l the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, that financing had been arranged for the cash ~equirement from international investors, i.e. Iran, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, 1 and Venezula, as well as some domestic ones. However, upon investigation, Mr. Murphy found that every one of the foreign investors were waiting for U.S. Government guaran I tees. In testimony before the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, Mr. Jerome Komes, • Chairman of the Board of Uranium Enrichment Associates admitted no firm contracts from foreign investors have as yet been obtained. The ~-hole basis of the UEA/Admin istration proposal is designed to bring the enrichment process into the private sec tor. If Government guarantees are provided to the requested degree, the result will be the elimination of the risks usually associated with the private enterprise,_ sector. Concerns wishing to invest in this project should be willing to take the ti .. same chances all other legitimate private investors are required to take with their capital. When the risks are eliminated, it is no longer private enterprise. ( UEA is asking for a 15% profit margin on their investment, which is substantial}) .less than what that enterprise usually goes after; usually somewhere around 50% profit. However, that company feels it is worth it because there is no risk to their investment. Another problem area is in the risks und.ertaken with sharing classified Govern ment technology with the private sector, especially when some of the investors are foreign-nations. UEA indicates foreign investment would be 60% in exchange for 60% of the output. There is always the danger of foreign governments acquiring information i 1 concerning centrifuge and gasification technology, particularly when investment is ~.!.1 in quantities tantamount to capital control. . Additionally, the UEA plan relies upon the completion of two proposed nuclear '! power plants in time to provide the massi ve amounts of electrical power required by the gasification process. We have been advised that it takes from 10 to 12 years to construct a nuclear plant , disregarding the lega l delays usually surrounding the recei pt of a license to operate such a plant from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This being the case, should UEA have the pl ant completed by 1983, t hey would not have the required power with which to operate i t . Senator Howar d Baker, ranking minority member of the Joint Committee, has )stressed the need f or i mmed iate expansion of our · uranium enri chment capatity. He feels that a gas centrifuge installation should -eventually be brought on the line as it is a technologically superior process. However, he has said that he believes the best solution in the short tenn is for the Government t o build add-on capzcity at a current p lant, probably at Portsmouth, wh ile encouraging private industry at the same time vith whatever reasonable quarantees are necessary to bring a consortium together to build the first private plant. The need in the long term will be substan- tial enough that government and industry inexorably will view one another as partner& rather th&n adversaries. .Apri1 8, 1976 Page 3 f The advantages of adding on to the PortsT!lOuth facility are many : 1. Construction would take a maximum of 3 1/2 years. 2. All local Portsmouth area building trade unions have pledged that there ~~11 be no unauthorized work stoppages in the process of constructing the add-on facility. 3. Extens~ve operational experience with the gaseous diffusion process is already available within the present management staff and work force at the Ports- 111outh plant. All f ac:ilities are available at the plant now for training of additional I: in-plant personnel. I 4. 7here are three technical education schools and four vocational education facilities in the immediate area which already offer curricula relating to the mechan I ical, ma,intenance, and operational aspects of a gaseous diffusion plant. I I' S. Land for the add-on facility is already av~lable and is owned by the U.S. :· 1 GoverntUent. There would be no unnecessary delays caused by land plmttlej and acqui siti.on. 6. Engine.ering and design plans for the add-on facility are . com~lete and available. 7. Massive amounts of power are already available to the Portsmouth facility. AJUerican.Electric Power Company would design, engineer and construct additional power f acil.ities that may be needed. 8. 'Ihe Portsmouth area community is already acclamated to the existence of a nuclear fuel plant, and the proposed add-on facility has complete local public accep t&nce. 9. The State of Ohio, local governments in the area, and Chambers of Commerce in Portsmouth and other area c:onr:nmiities are unanimous in support of the add-on facility, and will bend every effort to guarantee the success of such a faciiity. 10. The add-on facility would greatly alleviate a severe unemployment proble.":'t in this southern Ohio area. Latest figures indicate a 15 percent unemployment rate in the Portsmouth area. ...

One of the more significant pieces of legislation I currently am cosponsoring in the House of Representatives is the Truth in Government Accounting Act. Both honesty (truth) and accountability are incorporated in this act, and its implementation should help to re verse some of the practices partially responsible for bringing respect for government to a low ebb. Irresponsibility and the lack of fiscal accountability have done considerable damage to our economy. Many programs have been managed badly, leading to an ever expanding, ever more costly bureaucracy, and an ever larger federal debt. The type of corrective provided by the Truth in Government Accounting Act urgently is needed at the federal government level. This legislative initiative will give the public and Congress a meaningful summary of how the government stands financially by requiring publication of the consolidated results of virtua lly all federal operations.. It would require that these fi gures be compiled on an accrual basis as are most corporate financial reports. This legislation would provide the taxpayers a better understanding of the nation's financial condition. They have a right to know the financial condition of their govern ment so they effectively can hold their elected officials .accountable for their actions-and inactions. This is the kind of legislation I believe is good for the people of the 16th District and of the nation. Honesty in government and quality management-together they have to make things better. AT WORK IN WASHINGTON During the first session of the 94th Congress, Congressman Regula Responds to Constituents' Rep. Regula was present for: Problems During Office Hours. 99.7% of the 360 yea/nay votes The week of January 5 I held office hours at 98.6% of the 216 quorum calls (not votes) the mayor's office at Alliance, in the Massillon 100% of the 252 recorded votes City Hall library and at my Stark and Wayne county offices.

Spurring the War Against Crime I believe we must act decisively to reduce criminal acts with firearms, and develop effective methods of combatting rape. Our country must be made safe for law-abiding citizens. Acting on this conviction, I introduced a bill to amend the federal code so as to increase the penalty for committing a crime with a firearm to a mandatory sentence of not less than two years nor more than 10. A second offense would bring a sentence of not less than 10 years nor more than 30. The bill also provides that courts "shall not suspend the sentence in the case of a conviction." It is my hop• that the states would enact comparable legislation. I introduced a bill in the 93rd Congress to establish a National Center for the Prevention and Control of Rape. The bill died in the last days of that Congress, but became law in the 94th Congress. This legislation combats one of the fastest growing crimes and provides the federal procedures and means necessary to spur the war against this vicious crime. One of the ways I am able to add to my knowledge of domestic issues and world affairs as they come to the attention of Congress is by interviewing key officials on my biweekly radio program. Recently Robert Ellsworth; deputy secretary of defense, was my guest. We discussed the secretary's responsibility for keeping a check on military spying from a cost and legal stand point, the strength of U.S. armed forces relative to the Soviet Union, and China's suggestion that the United States w "toughen up" toward Moscow. 0:: w In addition to expanding my own grasp of these issues, :i: r the radio programs allow me to share this information with ::> Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert Ellsworth (left) up 0 dates Rep. Regula on the Angola situation. the people of the 16th District. ~ ,,...... The format of my biweekly radio program to the 16th District calls for me to ask questions and my guests to answer. However, in one of the recent broadcasts, I found myself on the other end of the question and answer exchange. My guests were three students from the 16th District who were studying in universities in Washington. They prepared their own questions on matters of concern to them and their fellow students, and I responded. Cheryl Ann Roller of Wooster, Greg Colaner of Navarre and Brian Tarian of Alliance did so well that I plan to Cheryl Ann Roller, Rep. Regula, Greg Colaner and use the same format on a future program. Brian Tarian (left to right) await cue to go on the air. VISITING WASHINGTON?

Attach. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND MATERIAL FROM FORiViER CONGRESSMAN WENDALL WYATT FOR CONSIDERATION PRIOR TO THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP TO OREGON (MAY 17, 197 6) The State's economy is heavily dependent upon the wood fibre industry. ·· Fore st Service Sales Program During the Nixon and Ford Administrations there has been a continual decline in the economic return provided under this program. Even though housing starts are now up, the forest service sales program is down 10% as compared to 1975. Basically this program provides for sale of stUITlpage. Wyatt suggests the President should favor a modest increase in Federal assistance for this program. 0 and C Formula This is a formula whereby counties in Oregon and California share in the distribution from sales of timber from national forests. The Department of Interior operates this program. If the President is confronted with this issue, Wyatt said he should state what a valuable thing the 0 and C formula is for Oregon. Recently announced construction funds for a VA replacement hospital for Portland, Oregon. The President should be aware that there is currently a controversy brewing over the exact site selection of this new VA hospital. Because of this problem, Wyatt suggests that if confronted, the President simply state that he is aware of the problem and that it is being carefully studied. Clear Cutting Issue The timber industry is upset with the President because he has not taken a position on the matter.

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON May 19, 1976 MEMORANDUM FOR: MAX FRIEDERSDORF THROUGH: CHARLES LEPPERT, JR, ~· FROM: PA TRICK ROW LP.ND J>R SUBJECT: Background on California Trip Attached is Rep. Andy Hinshaw' s update for the California trip. BACKGROUND MATERIAL FROM REP. ANDREW HINSHAW FOR CONSIDERATION PRIOR TO THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP TO CALIFORNIA Mission Viejo and Leisure World - In relation to the President's visits to Mission Viejo and Leisure World, many people assume that those who reside in Leisure World are financially well off senior citizens. This is not true. While many have some additional income, most count upon their social security and thus most are on a fixed income. This makes inflation their number one issue. When many moved into the area, they had to have an income of about $400 per month to qualify to purchase a home. This was in 1969-70. At that time homes cost about $25, 000. Today, senior citizens need $800 per month to qualify. The homes cost about $40, 000. These people are very sensitive to the Social Security system and its future. They are very concerned about any additional taxes being shifted from the federal government to local government, especially if this tax would be reflected in increases in property tax or sales tax. Most of them know that the cost of government in California doubled while Reagan was Governor as did the taxes. Other issues - While these people realize that we must deal with Russians and are not opposed to trade agreements, they don't trust the Russians at all. They grew up in an era when the Russians were not liked. They also grew up at a time when the Panama Canal was very important to this country and they remember our struggle on behalf of Cuba in the Philippines. They do not like Henry Kissinger; however, they don't like Ronald Reagan's simplistic approach to solving complex international problems. A great majority of these senior citizens feel that Richard Nixon was given a raw deal by the Congress and was a victim of the media. Many remain loyal to this day to the former President. ,:, PRESIDENT FORD'S RECENT COMMENTS IN MICHIGAN REGARDING RESTORING THE PRESIDENCY SHOULD BE DELETED WHEN APPEARING BEFORE THIS GROUP.
