Jack Richardson Chairman
October 13, 1986
Dear Candidate:
As in past elections, the Democratic Party of Hawaii is conducting a Campaign Assistance Program for the purpose of assuring victory for you and your fellow Democratic Party candidates on November 4th. The neighbor island County Committees (Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui) have devised programs that take into consideration the local media and activities that are most effective for each county. The State Party and the Oahu County Committee are working together with complementary Oahu County and statewide programs
We are writing to advise you about the assistance that the State Party and the Oahu County Committee will be providing to support your candidacy; to ask for your kokua in promptly paying the minimal assessment that will assist the Party to fund its programs in coordination with its County Committees; and to inform you of a number of related events and services the Party is sponsoring. All of the programs sponsored by the State and County Committees are designed to give you the greatest impact possible from the resources available to us.
1. Candidate Assistance Program.
The program is designed to accomplish two goals: (a) to expose the voters to the themes and goals of the Democratic Party so that they vote for Democratic candidates, including you; and (b) to let the voters know who the Democratic candidates are so that, when they vote, they are familiar with you and your fellow Democrats. It will do this through media advertising, grass-roots efforts and sponsorship of Democratic Party events.
Toward these ends, the Party has just completed (a) running a one-week ad in the two major daily newspapers urging voters to vote Democratic; and (b) running a similar ad in major radio markets. In addition, the following activities will be completed in the coming weeks:
Bv Oahu County Committee:
(a) Newspaper Ads-Statewide Candidates. Two full-page newspaper ads will appear in the Oct. 19th & 26th Sunday Advertiser/Star- Bulletin newpaper promoting support for "statewide/multi-area candidates" (i. e., Waihee, Cayetano, Inouye, Akaka, and Hanneman) and the entire Democratic team.
(b) Newspaper Ads-Double Truck Team Ad-All Candidates. A double page ad will appear in the major dailies, on the day before the general election containing a picture of you and your fellow Democratic candidates and urging a Democratic vote.
1188 BISHOP STREET, SUITE 3212 • HONOLULU, HAWAII 96813 • TELEPHO NE (808) 536-2258 Candidate October 12, 1986 Page 2
(c) Mass Canvass Team Piece. A party team canvassing piece listing the candidates by island, including brief highlights of the accomplishments of the Democratic Party will be produced. This will be the only canvassing piece featuring the entire Democratic ticket.
By the State Party:
(a) Mass Canvass. The Party will assist in the coordination of an island-wide mass canvass on October 25, delivering a brochure urging a Democratic vote, together with supporters of Democratic candidates.
(b) Party Rallies. The Party is sponsoring a series of rallies (schedule attached) in various parts of Oahu which will be attended by the major candidates. You are encouraged to avail yourselves of the opportunity for voter exposure.
(c) Mailings. The Party will do direct mailings urging a Democratic vote.
(d) Party Issues/Themes. The Party has made available platform statements and other materials to assist you in discussing issues with the voters.
(e) Information. The Party will issue statements via press releases and other means to familiarize voters with Party themes and encourage a Democratic vote.
(f) Endorsements/Photos. The Party will coordinate efforts to obtain endorsements and/or joint photos for you from major Party officeholders or candidates.
(g) Coordination with Other Campaigns. The Party is willing to assist you in coordinating your campaign activities with those of other candidates.
(h) Resource Persons/Expertise. The Party is willing to put you in touch with Party members with the experience and expertise to discuss with you any aspect of your campaign or provide other assistance within our resources.
2. Candidate assessments.
Our budget for the combined program of the State Party and the Oahu County Committee is $75, 000. U. S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye has very kindly donated $50, 000 of that amount to the Oahu County Committee to conduct its portion of this program, making it possible to provide the entire program through a very low assessment to you. We must emphasize that both the State Party and Oahu County Committee programs are necessary to bring about a Democratic Party sweep on November 4th. Candidate October 12, 1986 Page 3
Your participation is what will make this coordinated program a reality.
We are enclosing an assessment schedule which shows your contribution to make this program a success. It is based on the number of registered voters whose votes you are seeking. For example, candidates for contested State House races are being asked to contribute $100, with candidates for other offices making contributions proportional to their constituent base. Because we have to pay for program activities up front, we ask that you make out your check payable to the Democratic Party of Hawaii and return it by October 20, 1986. An envelope is enclosed for your convenience.
We want to do everything possible to ensure victory for you on November 4th so that the themes and goals of the Democratic Party are forwarded. We urge you to take advantage of our desire to be of assistance, and to aid our unified cause by promptly affirming your participation.
To further aid the State Party and the Oahu County Committee in coordinating our efforts, Sen. Inouye has provided us office space and assistance in his campaign headquarters. On matters relating to our Campaign Assistance Program, you may reach us there for any questions or comments. Please don’t hesitate to call any of us:

Dear Dan,
This letter transmits to you the volunteers recruited on your behalf by The Volunteer Committee. I am sending you these names now because you are unopposed in your primary race. I founded The Volunteer Committee earlier this year in the belief that grass-roots organization can make a difference in this year's critical elections. Because of that belief, TVC was charged with recruiting volunteers for key races such as yours across the country.
Each person on this l i s t has volunteered to work on a Senate race. Many of them have volunteered specifically for your campaign; although there are many whose names we are sending you because of their proximity to your race. The information includes basic data on these volunteers' addresses and telephone numbers as well as previous p o litic a l experience and an indication of the specific tasks they are interested in at this time. At the end of the profiles, we have printed a matrix which gives you an easy reference to the interests of each volunteer to help in your planning.
The response to our e ffo rt to organize on your behalf has been tremendous. I am confident that you w ill find these lis ts valuable as you continue to organize your campaign for the general election in November. The Staff at TVC w ill be providing you with other services this campaign year including handbooks for your staff on media relations and advance a ctiv itie s, to name a few. And as we add to our volunteer list, we w i l l update it for you.
We. w ill be reporting this to the Federal Election Committee as an in-kind contribution in the amount of $105.00. Please instruct your finance staff to do the same in your FEC report for the period.
4 Good luck in your campaign. If you have specific needs that The Volunteer Committee can provide, please do not hesitate to contact the staff at the address and telephone number indicated here.
Sincerely,
Gary Hart
The Volunteer Committee, 122 C Street, NW, Suite 360 • Washington, D C 20001 202/879-7730 ANNOUNCEMENT BY SENATOR INOUYE FOR RELEASE SUNDAY, J ULY 27, 1986
WASHINGTON, D - C - - " I SHALL ONCE AGAIN SEEK RE- ELECTION TO THE UNITED STATES SENATE- lT HAS BEEN MY PRIVILEGE AND H IGH HONOR TO SERVE THE PEOPLE OF HAWAII, IN THE TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE FROM 1955 TO 1959, AND IN THE U. S. CONGRESS SINCE STATEHOOD. THIS YEAR I AM COMPLETING MY FOURTH TERM IN THE U. S. SENATE. MY LEGISLATIVE SERVICE THROUGHOUT THIS TIME HAS BEEN GUIDED BY THESE PRINCIPLES:
1) JUSTICE AND EQUALITY FOR ALL WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, RELIGION, SEX OR SEXUAL PREFERENCE; AND WITHOUT REGARD TO ONE'S WEALTH OR STATION IN L IF E .
2) OUR NATION' S FOREIGN POLICY SHOULD RECOGNIZE THE UNIVERSAL DIGNITY OF MAN; REJECT TYRANNY lN BOTH FASCIST AND COMMUNIST FORMS; AND RECOGNIZE THE EFFECTS OF HUMAN UNREST ABROAD TO OUR WELL-BEING AT HOME-
3) OUR NATION'S DEFENSE SHOULD BE STRONG, READY AND BALANCED- - NUCLEAR AND NON- NUCLEAR CONVENTIONAL FORCES- DEPENDENCE ON ONLY NUCLEAR WEAPONRY MAKES USE OF THESE WEAPONS MORE LIKELY- WE SHOULD AVOID COSTLY SYSTEMS WHICH MAY ESCALATE THE ARMS RACE, SUCH AS "STAR WARS" . THE STRENGTH OF OUR NATION SHOULD BE MEASURED BY THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND MORAL FIBER OF OUR CITIZENS, NOT ONLY THE SIZE OF OUR WEAPONS ARSENALS-
4) EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO ENSURING THAT EVERY CITIZEN FULLY ENJOYS THE BENEFITS OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM. YET, 56% OF OUR HlSPANIC ADULTS AND 44% OF BLACK ADULTS ARE FUNCTIONALLY ILLITERATE, AND NATIVE HAWAIIANS FACE SERIOUS EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT PROBLEMS. WE MUST DO BETTER TO AFFORD EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO ALL-
5) A HEALTHY ECONOMY IS NECESSARY FOR AMPLE EMPLOYMENT. GOVERNMENT PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN MAINTAINING A HEALTHY ECONOMY, BY FOSTERING SMALL BUSINESS, REDUCING OUR NATIONAL DEBT, ENSURING A STRONG DOLLAR, AND INSISTING ON FAIR TRADE WITH OUR TRADING PARTNERS-

*WE, HAWAII DEMOCRATS, ARE DISMAYED BY THE JUNE 30TH DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT THAT ALLOWS THE STATE TO IMPOSE UNREASONABLE RELIGIOUS STANDARDS UPON THE PRIVATE LIVES OF AMERICAN CITIZENS.
WE FEEL THIS DECISION OPENS THE DOOR TO INCREASING INTERFERENCE WITH THE FREEDOMS OF RELIGION AND PRIVACY WE THOUGHT WERE GUARANTEED BY THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS. THIS DECISION LITERALLY ALLOWS THE INVASION OF THE HOUSES, HEARTS AND MINDS OF GOOD UPSTANDING CITIZENS WHO CHOOSE NOT TO LIVE THIER LIVES ACCORDING TO THE NARROW STANDARDS OF THE SUPREME COURT. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT, IN ADDITION TO THE ARGUMENT OVER THE SEPARATION OF RELIGION AND STATE, THAT WE NOW MUST CONTEND WITH THE ISSUE OF RELIGION AND THE BEDROOM.
HAWAII'S LESBIANS AND GAYS NOW KNOW THAT ALL PEOPLE WHO'S BEDROOM PRIVACY MAY NOW BE INVADED MUST JOIN FORCES. WE ALL MUST PULL TOGETHER TO ASSURE RETENTION OF THE FEW EXISTING RIGHTS ALLOWED US TO WORK TOWARD THE LARGER GOALS OF LIBERTY AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

Preamble
We are at the end of one era and at the beginning of a new age.
In the present restructuring of the world economy; new relations of global interdependence are developing. Hawaii is in the center of the P a c ific basin, and adjacent to the fa s te st growing economic region in the world, the Asian Pacific region. Yet, we rest in a delicate balance; our islands contain limited natural resources and a fragile ecosystem. The economic development of the State of Hawaii must be carefully planned to assure maximum benefit to those who live and work here.
The directions set in 1986 will carry us into the 21st century. They w ill shape the liv e s of the next generation of Hawaii's people.
Thus, we approach this election year with a sense of mission. The Democratic Party must continue to provide a rallying point, the common ground upon which we work together, through access and participation as we always have in the past.
We are the party of the people. We hold a vision for the future. A vision of world peace, a vision of quality education, of equality of opportunity in the workplace and in the marketplace, equal opportunity, access and participation.
Toward this end, we invite an outpouring of talk, opinion, debate, and dialogue to help re a liz e the dreams of a l l concerned residents.
To achieve our vision for the future we must build on our past accomplishments as exemplified in the last section of this platform.

- 7- APPENDIX: ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF 1985 AND 1986
"A Revolution of Accomplishments Led by Democrats"
The principle of a Democrat is equality. An abiding b e lie f that people are equal, that all people are to have the opportunity to maximize their potential, and that each person is an individual, that is the Democratic value. Aloha kekahi kekahi.
The Democratic Party believes government's goal is to achieve in our society equal opportunity for each person to maximize his or her potential while ensuring respect of that person as an individual.
In America, with roots of equality propounded by Thomas Jefferson, with progressive social legislation urged by Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, with the new generation of service led by John F. Kennedy, and with the great social programs of Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter, the Democratic Party stood up for all p eop le.
In Hawaii, history is being written that a peaceful revolution is being led by the Democratic Party. The first half of the Twentieth Century in Hawaii, under the Republican domination, was characterized by wide divisions of the people by economic status, English language facility, and ethnic origins. Within the second half the Twentieth Century the Democratic Party has led the removal of discrimination, opened economic competition, and provided educational opportunity to a ll. The dual standard of the English Standard school system was eliminated and replaced by a centralized school system. A State Land Use Plan, another nationally acclaimed program, allowed for orderly planned growth, where there was previously haphazard spot development. Environmental and shoreline protections safeguarded the land for future generations. Residential leased land owned by large land owners were made available for fee purchases by the home owners. Discrimination was greatly reduced by any standard - race, sex, r e l ig io n , e th n ic o r ig in and handicap. Employment and economic opportunity had unprecedented growth and the society of Hawaii was quietly revolutionized by fair competition embraced by the Democratic Party and Americans in the new State of Hawaii, U. S. A.
This revolution of equality, opportunity and individual merit continues to be le d by the Dem ocratic P arty and is the righteousness which preserves the life of Hawaii. Since the last Platform was produced in 1984 much has Happened. We lis t a number of State and County legislative actions which implement the 1984 Democratic Party P la tfo rm :

WHEREAS, the Department does not receive any State General Fund monies to cover its administration and operating costs and must depend upon its special funds for that purpose; and
WHEREAS, the amount of special funds used to cover the administration and operating costs of the Department are not available to be used for direct benefits to native Hawaiians, such as in making more homestead awards and more homestead loans available; and
WHEREAS, the 1978 Constitutional Convention amended Article XI, Section 1 (renumbered Article XII) to delete language which provided: " . . .the legislature may, from time to time, make additional sums available for the purposes of said Act by appropriating the same in the manner provided by law." The following language was substituted for the deleted portion:
The legislature shall make sufficient sums available for the following purposes: (1) development of home, agriculture, farm and ranch lots; (2) loans; (3) reha bilitation projects to include, but not limited to, educational, economic, political, social and cultural processes by which the general welfare and conditions of native Hawaiians are thereby improved; (4) the administration and operating budget of t h eDepartment o f Hawaiian HomeLands; i nfurtherance of ( 1 ) ,(2), (3), and (4) herein, by appropriating the same in the manner provided by law."

WHEREAS, despite the intent and purpose of the 1978 Constitutional amendment, the Department has been unsuccessful in obtaining State General Fund appropriations to cover administration and operating costs and is entirely dependent upon its special fund receipts to cover such costs; and
WHEREAS, the Department's special fund receipts during a given year are now in su fficien t to meet the administration and operating costs; and
WHEREAS, i n 1983 the Third Circuit Court (in Kaniho vs. DHHL) ordered the Department to seek and obtain legislative appropriation to cover its operating costs. The Court cited the intent of the Constitutional provision stated above, which was to reduce the Department's reliance upon leasing its lands for income purposes, and instead, provide lands for native Hawaiians; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED that the Democratic Party of the State of Hawaii supports the measures in the Legislature of the State of Hawaii to provide State General Fund monies to cover the administration and operating costs for the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands in accordance with the provisions of Article XII, Section 1, of the State Constitution; and

-26- AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN* of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF HAWAII
I . BACKGROUND/PURPOSE
The Democratic Party of Hawaii is committed to the goal of fu ll representation and participation regardless of color, race, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, religion, economic status, sex (including sexual harassment), handicap, marital status, arrest and court records, or age. As Lawrence H. Fuchs, Hawaii pono, 1961, stated - "Hawaii illu s tra te s the nation's revolutionary message of equality of opportunity for a ll regardless of background, color, or religion . This is the promise of Hawaii, a promise for the entire nation, and indeed, the world, that peoples of different races and creeds can live together, enriching each other, in harmony and democracy. " It is with this spirit that the State Pre-Convention Affirmative Action Committee has set forth in developing and presenting this 1986 Affirmative Action Plan.
II. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
According to the "Visions for the Future Conference" held in November, 1985, the Democratic Party " . . . recognizes the demographic and other realities which are shaping the nature and processes of our island State. As newcomers from Asian and P a c ific nations and from the continental United States are enriched by local traditions which have emerged over more than a century of cross-cultural interactions, so too is Hawaii enriched by the talent and tradition s brought by these new residents. We consequently recognize that a ll of these peoples must not only be regarded as v ita l resources and contributors to the State's future, but also that they must be ensured a place in a community of peers. "
We recognize that the goal of full representation is a difficult goal to achieve. Positive steps must be taken to reach out to a ll groups especially those that are under-represented in the Democratic Party. We have noted that certain ethnic groups who have been tra d itio n a lly part of the Democratic Party, have sought representation through vehicles other than the Democratic Party. We must seek to reverse this trend through the positive e fforts contained in this Affirm ative Action Plan. In order to accomplish this, several changes in the 1984 Affirm ative Action plan are being proposed to strengthen implementation and to clarify lines of. responsibility and authority.
The overall responsibility for ensuring that the Plan is implemented has been vested with the State Party Chairperson. The placement of responsibility with the organization head is a sound principle of affirmative action planning that clarifies responsibility while allowing for delegation of necessary functions. The State Affirmative Action Committee shall function in an advisory capacity to the State Party Chairperson and the State Central Committee.
*Adopted by the 1986 State Democratic Party Convention. Strengthening of the plan will also require the expenditure of funds in order to get the word out and re cru it new members to the Party. We recognize that the Party must also work towards raising these funds to carry out the activities which have been set forth.
We seek the support of our Democratic Party officials, State Central Committee, our State and County elected representatives, and a ll party members, to the goals, objectives and activities in this Affirmative Action Plan.
III. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN

4. Special attention directed to publicizing the party structure, delegate selection process in Hawaii, including county and precinct levels; such publicity should include information on eligibility to vote and become a delegate, the time and location of each stage of the delegate selection process and where to get additional information; it should be timely and to this end, should neither predate the process in such a way as to minimize its usefulness nor end sooner than two days before the process.

This includes the preparation of the County member composition reports, dissemination of the Affirmative Action Plan to all county, district and precinct organizations and the preparation, factfinding and conciliations of challenges.
2. Assignment of R esponsibilities a. The county Chair
Each County Chair is responsible for ensuring that all programs and activities are made available to members without regard to race, religion, color, sec (including sexual harrassment), national origin/ancestry, sexual orientation, age, handicap economic status, marital status, arrest and court records, or any other arbitrary factors. The County Chairs retain the ultimate responsibility for the County A ffirm ative Action Policy. b The A ffirm ative Action Committee

J. Goals and Timetables
Goals should re fle c t assessments of the County electorate. However, they should never be considered fixed quotas.

Discrim ination in any form is discrim ination. Whenever any person is denied access/opportunity to p a rtic ip a te because of his/her sex (or sexual harrassment and sexual preference), ethnicity, age, handicap, religion, color, race, economic status, marital status, arrest and court records or other arbitrary factors, that is discrimination.

Goals and tim etables are not fixed quotas requiring the particip atio n of certain groups regardless of meeting eligibility requirements and circumstances but should be used as tools to remove institutional obstacles to equal opportunity.
K. Board or Committee Representation
Members selected to serve on County/District/Precincts boards or committees should be selected in a non-discriminatory manner. The membership should reflect a balance of all ethnic groups and females consistent with the Party's equal opportunity and Affirmative Action P o lic ie s .
The composition of the Board or Committee should re fle c t proportionately the ethnic constituency of the County which is being served. To ensure that a balance of under-represented groups and women are represented on Boards and Commissions, i t is recommended that when future openings occur, imbalances should be rectified through naming certain members of the under-represented groups and women to the Board or Commission.
The suggestion stated above w ill assure the potential for active participation in major decision making for the various targeted groups. I t is preferred also, that one-third of the board or committee composition be from low income groups.
L. Internal Audit and Reporting System
The County Affirmative Action Programs shall be monitored on a continuous basis and audited biennially by the Affirmative Action Committee. The intention is to check the progress of the Party's Affirmative Action Program, in an effort to identify and eliminate discriminatory barriers that affect full participation of members.
M. A c ce s sib ility and Accommodation
A positive approach to the f u l l p a rtic ip a tio n of the handicapped in the Party includes awareness, outreach and reasonable accommodation. The Party shall continuously endeavor to ensure that no otherwise qualified handicapped individual is denied participation in any programs or a c tiv itie s .
The term "handicapped individual" shall be interpreted to mean any person who (1) has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities, (2) has a record of such an impairment, or (3) is regarded as having such an impairment.
-9 - Reasonable accommodation is any change or a lte ra tio n made to accommodate the known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified handicapped individual and will be expected unless the activity/program can justify that the accommodation would prove to be an undue hardship on its operations.
The following a c tiv itie s are recommended:
1. Implement procedures for a lte rn a tive s to inaccessible f a c ilit ie s where immediate removal of physical barriers are not possible.
2. Make arrangements to provide interpretor services to make program activities more accessible to the hearing impaired.
3. Provide some id e n tifie d o ffic e with Porta-Tel (TTY) equipment to make programs/activities more accessible to the hearing impaired via the telephone.
N. Institutional Racism in Program/Activity Participation
A close examination of the problems on institutional racism is relevant if we are to address cultural biases in program/activity participation.
As a multi-cultural environment, Hawaii poses a particularly challenging context for the definition of institutional racism and activity/program participation. The Party attempts to be an open party at all levels which includes rather than excludes people from participation. Yet, making available the same activity/program to persons of d iffe re n t backgrounds may not produce equal results in terms of providing benefits in re la tio n to needs.
A fundamental question concerns whether existing activities/programs for whatever reasons disproportionately benefit certain segments of the population more than others. Such disproportions and inequities may not necessarily indicate institutional racism, since the differential need of programs/activities might be in accordance with the existence of other problems among some groups.
To properly evaluate under-representation data, some type of needs assessment among d iffe re n t ethnic groups would be desirable. In this regard, it is important to note, that the concept of political activities may be understood differently among communities.
Institutional racism might be said to exist when programs/activities are provided to persons from some thnic groups, while persons in other groups are found not to b enefit from existing program s/activities. Thus, the degree of ethnic inequality can be evaluated by viewing differential utilization in relation to existing needs.
Party program/activity may impact differently in participation/utilization in relation to the particular ethnic group needs because it includes organizational and policy consideration such as:
- 1 0 - a. The accessibility of programs/activities - accessibility involves consideration of the range of programs/activities and their geographic distribution in the community. Certain ethnic groups may have a limited ability to participate due to distance and lack of public transportation. The rural and recent naturalized citizen would be an example of population lik e ly to be impacted due to these reasons.
It may be necessary to provide bilingual services, interpretors, translators, sign language interpretors and outreach volunteers to service these groups.
b. The operation of a referral network - a referral system may facilitate participation for members of some groups but discourage contact for members of other ethnic groups.
c. Contextual bureaucratic barriers - a number of features of the programs/activities may disadvantage certain populations. Such matters as the hours of the program s/activities, the absence of multilingual volunteers and other aspects of this situation may discourage participation/utilization by some ethnic groups.
d. Violation of interpersonal norms - the current practices in programs/activities may not be equally congruent with the cultures of different ethnic groups. Some may violate the cultural norms of prospective participants. Some groups are hesitant to verbalize personal concerns, others may be accustomed to sharing personal m atters.
e. Volunteer practices - exploration is needed of the significance for providing effective empathy of differences in ethnic c u ltu ra l and socio-economic backgrounds between volunteer workers and prospective participants. Cross-group contacts are inevitable in a multi-ethnic community as in the State of Hawaii.
O. Vendor Relations
Every effort shall be made to distribute its purchasing funds equitably among those businesses which are found to practice equal opportunity in employment. The Party w ill attempt to the maximum extent feasible to restrict purchases from or prevent financial rewards to those vendors who are not equal opportunity employers or are not actively pursuing corrective affirmative action. The County Chair, the Affirmative Action Committee, District/Precinct officers and party volunteers shall assume the primary responsibility for conducting the following: a. Conduct prelim inary assessments of existing and proposed vendors u tiliz in g information of past litig a tio n s , on-site communication with managers and employees, etc.
- 1 1 - b. Refer any cases of vendors who are not in compliance with the Equal Employment Opportunity requirements to the State Party Chair for action; c. Discontinuance of Party purchases from vendors le g a lly declared in violation of anti-discriminatory laws. Restricted members' purchasing shall also be encouraged; d. R ein stitu tio n at such time that a vendor achieves compliance to statutory requirements; and e. Communicate to the Party fiscal purchasing staff information regarding prohibitions against employment discrimination and the Party's policy regarding the selection of vendors or subcontractors.
P. Non-intimidation Statement
No member shall intimidate, retaliate, threaten, coerce, or discrim inate against any individual for the purpose of in te rfe rin g with any right or privileges secured by the Constitution of the United States of America because she/he has made a complaint, te s tifie d , assisted, or participated in any manner in any investigation, proceeding or hearing under this part. The identity of complainants shall be kept confidential except to the extent necessary to carry out the purposes of this p a rt, including the conduct of any prelim inary inquiries thereunder.

' ' A N I N J U R Y T O O N E I S A N I N J U R Y T O A L L ' ' TRANSCRIPTION OF INOUYE SPEECH
Capsule of status of nation today:
"From the p o litical standpoint, we are concerned wlth the United States Senate. Right now, we are53, the Republicans are 47. Ac- cording to the polls taken wi thin the last ten days, if the elec- tions were held today, the United States Senate would be 52 Demo- crats and 48 Republicans; which would once again restore the De- mocratic majority in the Senate. There are polls and there are polls and the one that counts i s in November but so far there has been a trend where Democrats are beginning to improve their posi- tions and if they continue at this trend, the United States Senate might be pretty lopsided Democratically, but that might be wishing for too much. "
Moneywise:
"Forevery dollar we spend, the Republicans are spending nine dol- lars, that's about the right ratio. If we go beyond that, we've got a problem. At 9 to 1, we're in good shape. More specifically, we are spending $10 m illion, they are spending $90."
Administration/Congress Attitudes:
"The administration under Reagan and others, are intent upon demon strating to the world that the strength of the United States is determined by the number of missiles we have, the number of war- heads. On the other hand, thre are some of us in the United States Senate who try to suggest that the real strngth of this country is determined by the strenth of its people: intellectual strength, moral strength, physical strength, mental strength. I'm sorry to te ll you that as of this moment, those who espouse the defense priorities are slightly ahead... Defense doesn't get hit as bad- ly as the domestic programs. "
D e f ic it :
"Defense has increased under Reagan, domestic programs have de- creased. When President Carter left this office the deficit was $79 m illio nwhich was horrendous and today it exceeds $200 b il- lion. It was brought about by simple mathematics: when you raise defense and reduce taxes, you're bound to have a great gap and t h a t's what happened."
Domestic program:
"The way the domestic programs have been cut is almost insance be- cause it just doesn't make sense. The cutting people (those in the OMB and in the White House) have only one thing in mind: they got to cut. You're in the business of handling budgets too, you have an organization budget. I'm certain when you add or subtract from your budget you keep in mind the cost e ffe c tiv e n e s s . " INOUYE tape Page 2
DOMESTIC PROGRAMS con tn 'd :
"There are many ways t ha t we can cut down the cost of government without cutting into the muscle of our people. I'm gonna give you a few numbers that might be in te re stin g to you. Today we spend 50¢ on every person for prevention of illness. O n the other hand, we spend $1, 440 for what we call "curative medicine". You go to the doctor, get medicine or get yourself cut up: $1, 440. 50 ¢ on pre- ve n tion . "
Health Care:
"Health care has become one of the biggest items, as far as cost is concerned - second only to defense. And it's rising faster - I don't have to te ll you about tort lia b ility and malpractice in- surance, it's gotten out of hand so that on Molokai no doctor w ill deliver a baby. If this continues to go on, reaction w ill set in and we w ill come up with laws that w ill set lim its on the amount of damages one can collect. That may not be the best solution be- cause how can you lim it anguish and pain and suffering? But on the other hand, if you set high judgements, somebody has to pick up th ta b ."
Defense:
"Defense obviously is our m ajor concern. We have today, enough warheads to destroy the world. Yet, our President insists on making more. I don't think the people of the United States really understand the destructive nature of the weapon system we have. The only pictures we have of damage are those of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. If you can imagine one bomb 50 times more powerful than that, that is the basic weapon of our arsenal. Our warhead, the basic one, has 50x the destructive power of the Hiroshima one. The. thing that frightens some of us is the number of false alarms that we get every year. We have scattered around the world lite ra lly thousands of stations scanning the skies looking for strange sightings. Every year we have thousands of strange sightings.
Then we have this problem of accidental firing. There is nothing foolproof. in this world. We have been shown that every day, whether it's Chernobyl, Three-Mile Island, accidents do occurand some- thing may blow up accidentally. Then we have the great concern of proliferation. Right now we have seven nations that have declared that they have the weapon. The other nations who suggest that they don't have the weapon - but we know they have them! Or they can develop it w ith no trouble whatsoever. No one w ill ever suggest that the People o f the Republic of China cannot develop a bomb. They can build it in thirty days! If you've got that technical information in your hand - you can fly a missile elsewhere! No one w ill suggest that the Japanese cannot develop i t . Most people believe that the Israelis have it. We know that the Iraquis have been try in g t h e ir best. I t ' s a pretty snaky situation, " INOUYE tape Page 3
Defense contn'd:
"What I'm trying to suggest is what if one evening - bingo! One lands in the US, no one knows where i t came from? What w ill be the reaction of our leaders?
We have been trying our best to convince the administration that the arms race must be stopped. You know it's a strange thing, I have no difficulty in explaining the arms race to third graders but I have difficulty describing the arms race to adults. But little kids know what an arms race is a ll about! One thing that we have learned about the arms race (and the little kids know it ! ) is that if I do something, the other side is gonna improve it. I f the other sid e improves i t , w e're gonna improve i t and th is non- sense that our President says that w e'll negotiate from a position of strength is assuming that the Russians are gonna sit by and wait until we reach a certain threshold. That's ridiculous! If we test, they're gonna test. If they fly one, we fly one. And one o f these days, the wrong one is gonna f l y out and in to the wrong place and that w i l l be the beginning o f the end. "
Vietnam:
"I thought that we had learned a little lesson in Vietnam. Like most Americans in those days, I followed the flag, I supported the war. Until My-Lai came along. In case you don't know what My-Lai was, that's when American soldiers killed little babies, old men and old ladies. When I saw the results of My-Lai, I asked myself a rather nasty question and I articulated the question to the Armed Services Committee. I asked my colleagues with a picture like this: 'Do you think the American soldiers would do the same thing to French women and c h ild re n ? ' and when they could not respond to th a t, the answer was there. We have brought ourselves down to this horrible level o f lookin g upon them as gooks and something that was sub-human, and that was just tearing into our moral fibre. "
" When the war ended, over a m illion men and women had participated, over 150, 000 casualties and over 50,000 dead. I hear the same rumbles now in Central America: 10, 50 advisors, 100 advisors. I've been doing my best to hold it back and that's why the Senate elec- tions are so important to me. That's why I've been spending a lot of ti me on the mainland, raising funds. I've raised more funds for my Committee than for my personal campaign committee. I w a n tto do everything that I can to change this margin that we have right now. "
Job challenge:
"From my standpoint, it's a job that's fu ll of challenges. But some of these challenges are almost nightmarish, almost seems to me that there a re times when you want to give up and say there's no solution. INOUYE tape Page 4
Job challenge contn' d:
"But I learned a long time ago that for every problem there is a solution, and i t might take a li t t l e struggle but w e ' l l get there. "
P o ss ib ility of becoming a majority (Democrat) leader?:
"The leader of the Senate is selected by the individuals in the Party and not based on seniority. Conceivably, you can elect some- one who just got elected. In fact, the only thing that the senior guy gets by tradition, we usually elect him to be President pro tempore. On the Democratic side, I am number 7, now.
I've had many of my colleagues, enought to constitute a majority, ask me to be th eir leader - this is not the f ir s t time they've asked me. But th is may sound strange to you, I have never sought that job. I am one of the leaders at th is time, the number 3 leader (we have the leader, the assistant to the leader and the secretary of the conference, I am the secretary of the conference) and I have been one now for about 12 years.
- I f I should become the leader, i t would mean (from my standpoint), a complete change in my life s ty le . I drive to work, I travel to Hawaii by myself, I don't care for bodyguards. Today, the leader has two bodyguards. It's not my cup of tea. I receive an average of 45 invitations a day and I regret an average of 45 invitations. I go to an o f f ic ia l dinner maybe twice a month, once you become a leader, you're out every night., and I don't know whether it's worth i t .
I'm not trying to suggest to you that I can't do the job - I'm certain I can. But that has been a question that has been troubling me but in a way, it 's good to know that your colleagues consider you worthy of th eir tru st, maybe I ' l l try. But you won't see me too often . "
Democrats been in long enough? Time for a change?:
"If I were the man on the street, I 'd be looking at the Democrats asking, do you think i t ' s time for a change?
24 years of complete control, both hous e s and the administration, and for that matter, every council with sometimes only one Re- publican, there. I f one l ooks upo n determination xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx by the record, I would say yes. We've got a good record, one that we can proudly point to and campaign on this November.
Hawaii has been the forefront of many things. Other states have been following us on land classification. They have been looking upon our workers' comp laws with some envy. Today, we have 99% of our working people insured (health insurance). No other state can point to that. We have, in many ways, some of the most ad- vanced laws on environment. " INOUYE tape Page 5
Environmental laws:
"These laws began i n the days of the Hawaiian kingdoms. They knew how to protect our environment. Long before the coming of the white man."
Democratic arrogance?:
"When a party stays in power, for two decades and a half, there is a tendency to get a little arrogant. At times, I see this arrogance showing up. Maybe some o f us fe e l that we don't have to worry, that we're here permanently, that we' re in. Asia result, t h is a rro g a n ce surfa ce s. With arrogance, sometimes we're not as responsive as we shouldbe. We get involved with petty bickering,
I f you look at the real Democratic party - the political party, you w ill see that it is made up of several fiefdoms. I got my own group, you got your own group, everybody's got their own group. The combination of those would be the real Democratic party. This might be difficult for you to hear and difficult for me to say. But because of these personal fiefdoms, people of H aw aii, have had to s u ffe r. The most c la s s ic example, and I am being very candid with you, i s Burn s vs. Fasi; Ariyoshi vs. Fasi.
Anything that Fasi was for, Bums was against (just about). Any- thing that Bums was for, Fasi was against. The one who suffered was the one in between. H-3 right now. Ariyoshi's for it, Fasi's against it. I hope that this type of feuding would be a thing of the past. That was the only weakness I could see in the adminis- tration of my dear friend, Jack Burns. I know that you cannot compromise, I thought that there would be ways to be followed, steps to be taken to bring about some sort of understanding but that was not possible. But in the meanwhile, we see it operating in the C ityCouncil, in the legislature. I think it's too bad."
There's no question that if the elections were held today, and the p o lls were c o rre c t, i t would be a Democratic sweep. The only Republican that would survive, possibly, would be the mayor on Maui. Both congressional seats would easily be Democratic, the governor and lieutenant governor would be Democratic. According to the polls, as of this moment, the man who's ahead on the Demo- cratic side would be Cec Heftel. But, this is May and the elec- t io n 's in November. The th in g that concerns me w ith t h is e le c - tio n is that i t may w e ll be the most negative campaign sin ce I 'v e been involved. INOUYE tap e Page 6
November e le c tio n :
"By negative campaign, I mean the following: that I w ill vote for Mr . A because I don't like Mr. B. I'm not voting for Mr. A because I like Mr. A. Somebody's voting for Mr. B not because he likes Mr. B but because he hates Mr. A. When you have a situation where the person who i s elected gets elected by a majority of negative v o te s, th e re 's no mandate and what w ill fo llo w may be ch a o tic. But I see th is s itu a tio n coming a b o u t. " I ' m gonna vote fo r H e fte l be- cause I don't like Waihee. " l 'm going to vote for Waihee because I don't want no mainland haole. " I think it w ill be tragic.
I've been in this business for a long time. I know that this busin- ness can be d ir t y but the makings fo r a r e a lly f i l t h y one is coming upon us. I hope that your organ ization w ill not be caught up in th is f i l t h . And apparently i t ' s coming from a l l quarters. You know what I'm talking about. That's no way to conduct ourselves."
Voter turnout:
"Our third concern in this election is one that is national in scope, so Hawaii is not the only one: and that is the disgraceful turnout of the voters. Last year, less than 50% turned out for the Presidency. And the most m iserable segment is the young voters of the United S tate s: the 18-24. I worked w ith a l l of you to reduce the age to 18, to give our young people the opportunity t o participate in this ex- periment we ca ll democracy. I'd assumed that they would've gone out in droves, but the worst turnout was among the young people.
If your organization wants a political assignment, a political project, I would say a project to tum out the votes would be one that serves the best interests of this xxxxxxxxxx. Not to turn Democratic votes or Republican votes, but turn 'em out! I think it's shameful. We w ill
have to im press upon our people that if we continue Vo do th is, that w ill be the first step towards a benign and benevolent dictatorship. It w ill come about in such a way that you won't even know it's there. The people don't give a damn. And right know the signs are there that the people don 't give a damn. "
On Reagan:
"We have a ruler right now that lite ra lly gets away with political murder. If you had an interested populace, he wouldn't get away with something like that! Ten days ago, he goes o n the a ir and on television and says that there are no poor people in this country, there's no one starving: the only problem is that these guys aren't smart enough to know where to get food. W ell everybody stood up and says, ' My, God! Where have you been a l l th is time? People are s ta r- ying around here!' So he changes his mind, he becomes the great hero o f Hands Across America! INOUYE tape Page 7
On Reagans
"He ls now even openly;talking about a third term! Yes, I used to laugh about this. But he's been talking about a third term over and over again. I'm wondering if he's trying to suggest if we should have a Constitutional amendment to permit him to run again. You know we may snicker but this guy is smart!.
We democrats s in c e re ly b e lie v e (and we put i t on in our campaign) we concern ourselves with the six percent unemployed. He con- cerns himself with the ninety-four % employed. We concern ourselves with six m illion street people, he ignores them a ll - they don't vote. We concern ourselves with people with mental health prob- lems, he doesn't do that. If we want to change this, we gotta get more people going to the polls and getting interested in what's happening to this country. Otherwise, what is happening in the Congress w ill continue to happen. So, if you people want a project and I think it's a good community project, get the vote o u t. "
On Heftel vs. Anderson, Anderson vs. Waihee:
"Heftel can beat Anderson handily [according to polls], Waihee can beat Anderson, not handily but he can beat him. Polls indicate he's ahead.
What is happening in the Heftel-Waihee race from a p olitical ana- lyst view, is the following. At firs t, he had very high ratings. He was a fre shface, a new person, new ideas. But then when he began to be a very serious candidate, people started to look at him very c lo s e ly . Whenever you look c lo s e ly at someone, you see blemishes. When you see blemishes, the situation changes.
Waihee has taken the stance of the underdog. And in the American community, there is always this warm feeling for the underdog so rig h t now h e 's coming up s lig h t ly . But the margin between H e fte l and Waihee is one th a t we p o lit ic ia n s would say is s ig n ific a n t . So I would say that i f the e le c tio n s were h e l d today, i t would be Heftel and Anderson. Heftel would smash him. If Waihee gets in, h e'll beat him. But, anything can happen between now and November."
"I w ill vote for whoever the party nominates. "
State demographics;
"When you look at the people makeup of this state, you w ill notice that things are changing. It's not the same as it was when we had our '54 election. You can te ll that within, say, three decades thirty or forty years, Hawaii w ill have a majority ethnic group. Caucasians, Europeans. It w ill be la rg e r than the combined Asian group. Studies show that in splitting up this group in the general election, Heftel w ill get more votes than Anderson and Anderson may get more of it than Wiaihee. " INOUYE tape Page 8
Fasi vs. Eileen:
"It wasn't complicated. Fasi got negative votes. Sounds com- plicated but they equated Eileen Anderson with George Ariyoshi. That Ei leen was Ariyoshi's puppet, they voted against Ariyoshi. That's what the studies show. For some reason, Ei leen did not make her presence public. Rumors began flying, what's wrong with her, is she sick? Little things like that."
Waihee and A riy o s h i;
"In th is race, Waihee may have to carry a l i t t l e burden, the A r i- yoshi burden. See, Waihee's in a helluva fix. If he divorces himself completely from Ariyoshi, then those who are close to Ariyoshi are not going to be happy about it. If he remains close to A riy o s h i, he becomea an A riy o s h i puppet and he might lose towards that side. It takes some fancy footwork. "
Who w ill f ill Heftel's seat?;
"As of this moment, Abercrombie can beat Saiki and Hannemann can beat S a ik i. Between Abercrombie and Hannemann, Abercrombie is ahead of Hannemann, not by a large margin but he's ahead. I f I were Hannemann's a d viso r, I would t e l l him to concentrate on image-making. Right now, his identification is very low. The polls show him recognized by only 40% of the peopl e polled. Whereas, Abercrombie, 91% recognize him. "
On tax reform b ill;
"Tax reform b ill has a lot of sex appeal. However, none of us have seen the tax bill yet! They talk about the b ill but there's no b ill yet! No committee report yet. What we know is what people have said is in the b ill. The fine details are not out and usually the decision is made on the fine details. Secondly, the decision of the committee came as a result of a four-hour meeting. A 4-hour meeting on the most complex measure, most monumental change in our tax law! Four hours. The appealing portions are l)the very poor w ill not pay anything. You have only two rates, 15 and 27. It says we close up these loopholes and tax shelters. In the mind of most Americans, loopholes and tax shelters are equal to cheating the government. So i f you 're gonna clo se i t up, i t ' s a good d e a l . And it's supposed to be, as we call it, revenue-neutral. We raised the same amount of money. However, there are other things the proponents don't talk about. There is massive retroactivity. The provisions become effective January. So we're not gonna collect from July, we're gonna c o lle c t from January. There's gonna be a b ig hump which makes it possible to keep the rate at 15 and 27. If you're gonna collect from July to make up that deficit, it w ill have to go higher. In closing the loopholes, if they close up every loophole then you c a n 't squawk. They l e f t the gas and o i l alone. I f I were one of those with special interests, I would say, 'Look you guys, you took care of the gas and o il - what's so special about them? What about us? INOUYE tape Page 9
Tax reform cont'd:
"Nov you have thi s investment tax credit that they took away.. which i s the one which w ill close up the so-called tax shelter. But none of the economists have been able to come up to us and te ll us what the e ffe c t w i l l be to suddenly close them up. You've been living with a certain type of lifestyle and a certain type of revenue raising devices and a ll these business people are geared up for that and suddenly, bingo! You cut i t.
For example, most of the rental units in Hawaii are not i n apart- ments. Most of the rental units are in little duplexes, little houses that you might own, which was possible under the present laws. Under the new law, that w ill not be possible because you can't get this write-off. W ill that affect the rental market here and thereby raise the rentals? I don't know. No studies have been made. "
ILWU Association:
"I've been with the ILWU from day one, I've been with you, fighting with you, inside and outside. I am faced with a situation which most p o lit ic ia n s would love to have - the p o lls showing you way up there and everything. Objectively looking at it, one must say I'm in. However, if I took that attitude that I'm in, therefore I don't have to do anything, you're gonna te ll yourself 'Who the hell does he think he is taking my vote for granted? ' And just to spi te me, you'll vote for the other side even if the other side is not as good as me. A lot of people might do that. So l gotta find this very sensitive spot to not spend too much, not spend too litt le . "
Campaign spending:
"Even at th a t, the amount of money one must spend to get elected in Hawaii I can only describe in one word - t h a t ' s obscene. I t 's obscene that the governor of Hawaii has to spend two m illion dollars. It's obscene for me to be able to put on almost a performer show, just to show I'm interested - that's gonna cost me over 300,000. And that's small. That's obscene! How can anyone who has talent, dedication but no money run? That' s why I've been advocat ing from the e a r lie r days th a t t h is matter should be funded by the government of the United States, as they do in other countries. " \ ANNOUNCEMENT BY SENATOR INOUYE FO R RELEASE SUNDAY, JULY 2 7 , 1986
WASHINGTON, D.C. — I SHALL ONCE AGAIN SEEK RE-ELECTION TO THE U NITED STATES SENATE. lT HAS BEEN MY PRIVILEGE AND HlGH HONOR TO SERVE THE PEOPLE OF HAWAII, IN THE TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE FROM 1955 TO 1 9 5 9 , AND IN THE U. S. CONGRESS SINCE STATEHOOD. THIS YEAR I AM COMPLETING MY FOURTH TERM lN THE U .S. SENATE. MY LEGISLATIVE SERVICE THROUGHOUT THIS TIME HAS BEEN GUIDED BY THESE PRINCIPLES!
1) JUSTICE AND EQUALITY FOR ALL WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE, R E L IG IO N , SEX OR SEXUAL P R E FER E N C E, AND WITHOUT REGARD TO ONE ' S WEALTH OR ST A T I ON IN L I F E .
2) OUR NATTION'S FOREIGN P OLICY SHOULD RECOGNIZE THE UNIVERSAL D IG N ITY OF MAN, R E JE C T TYRANNY IN BOTH F A SC IST AND COMMUNIST FORMS, AND RECOGNIZE THE EFFECTS OF HUMAN UNREST ABROAD TO OUR WELL-BEING AT HOME.
3) OUR NATION' S DEFENSE SHOULD BE STRONG, READY AND BALANCED— NUCLEAR AND NON-NUCLEAR CONVENTIONAL FORCES. DEFENDENCE ON ONLY NUCLEAR WEAPONRY MAKES USE OF THESE WEAPONS MORE L I K E L Y . WE SHOULD AVOID COSTLY SYSTEMS WHICH MAY ES CA LA TE THE ARMS RACE, SUCH AS STAR WARS. THE STRENGTH OF OUR NATION SHOULD BE MEASURED BY THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL AND MORAL FIBER OF OUR CITIZENS, NOT ONLY THE SIZE OF OUR WEAPONS ARSENALS.
4) EDUCATION lS THE KEY TO ENSURING THAT EVERY CITIZEN FULLY ENJOYS THE BENEFITS OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM. YET, 56% OF OUR HlSPANIC ADULTS AND 44% OF BLACK ADULTS ARE FUNCTIONALLY ILLITERATE, AND NATIVE HAWAIIANS FACE SERIOUS EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT PROBLEMS. WE MUST DO BETTER TO AFFORD EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO ALL.
5) A HEALTHY ECONOMY IS NECESSARY FOR AMPLE EMPLOYMENT. GOVERNMENT PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN MAINTAINING A HEALTHY ECONOMY, BY FOSTERING SMALL BUSINESS, REDUCING OUR NATIONAL DEBT, ENSURING A STRONG DOLLAR, AND INSISTING ON PAIR TRADE WITH OUR TRADING PARTNERS.
