HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

Over the past year, and especially since this spring, pressure between Iran and Iraq had been steadily and rapidly building along their 760-mile frontier, occasionally being released in the form of exchanges of invectives, sabotage and border skirmishing. Ten- sions heightened with Iraq's abrogation on September 17 of the 1975 Algiers accord, which had divided the strategic Shatt-al-Arab waterway down the middle. Full-scale war soon followed.

The war which now rages between Iran and Iraq is the latest con flagration in a centuries-long history of mutual h ostility and distrust It is a war which has many facets, a ll of which must be kept in mind if we are to understand the broader con flict there. Ostensibly, i t is a border war, a battle for territory and for control over the Shatt-al-Arab estuary, the c ritic a l waterway which separates the twTo countries, and which is Iraq's only water access to the Persian Gulf. It is also an ideological and religious struggle, pitting the Moslem fundamentalist government of Iran, which is controlled by Moslems of the Shiite sect, against the secular, socialist government of Iraq, which is dominated by Moslems of the Sunni sect. It is also the most recent episode in an ancient ethnic struggle between the Iraqis, who are Arab, and the Iranians, who are Indo-European. Most significantly, it is a contest between two nations for dominance for a region and the Persian Gulf. Perhaps more precisely, it may be seen as an attempt by Iraq's President Saddam Hussein to renew the dormant dream of Pan-Arab unity, while fillin g in the void le ft by the late Shah as the region's p o litica l and m ilitary strongman.

This struggle for regional leadership dates back to the seventh century. Tracing the outlines of this very old and bitter rivalry lends perspective to the current war. Early in the seventh century, Iraq was conquered by the Arabs, who were follow ers of Mohammed. Seeking to assume control over Mesopotamia and to expand Arab in fluence elsewhere, Arab forces warred interm ittently with Persia, as - 2 -

Iran was known until 1935. In 637 A. D., the Arabs defeated the Persians at Qadisiyah, in a battle President Saddam Hussein claims the Ayatollah is now seeking to avenge. Islam was thus established in the region. Ironically, the seeds of subsequent religious con flic t were also planted before the lapse of the seventh century. As a result of a bloody dispute over who was to succeed Mohammed, the Shiite sect was created in opposition to the larger Sunni branch of Islam.

Today, the Sunni branch remains the majority sect of the Arab world. Iran, however, is ruled by Shiites, and the majority of its population belongs to the Shitte sect. Iraq, on the other hand, stands in a very tenuous position. Though its government is dominated by Sunni Moslems, its populace is mainly Shiite.

The origins of the present territorial disputes go back to the conquest in the sixteenth century of Mesopotamia, as Iraq was then known, by the Ottoman Turks. The conflicts whichwere generated by this conquest have carried forward into the modern era, never having been permanently resolved. Sovereignty over the Shatt-al-Arab water way was a bone of contention then, and it remains a sensitive and emotional issue today.

In 1937, under the auspices of the British, Iran and Iraq negotiated and signed a border agreement. The agreement permitted Iran to use the Shatt-al-Aram waterway, but did not give Iran what it had really desired, a border down the middle of the waterway. Iraq was given virtual control over the waterway. The border was set on the low-water level of the Iranian side. Iran complained that this arrangement was forced on it by the British in violation of common international practice.

With Britain’s support, Iraq was able until the 1950's to impose its w ill on Iran with respect to the many territorial issues which remained from the days of the Ottoman Empire. Beginning in the late 1950's, however, the balance of power between these hostile neighbors began to shift. In 1958, the Iraqi monarchy was overthrown and in 1968 the socialist Baath Party came to power after a coup. During this period of turmoil, Iraq had turned away from the West to Moscow, and had become weaker r e l a t i v e to i t s neigh b or. In 1969, the Shah, of Iran, seizing on this perceptible shift in power, formally denounced and renounced the agreement of 1937. By 1974, Iraq had been significantly weakened by its long war with the rebellious Kurds, who had been aided by Iran. Iraq's armed forces had lost more than 6 0 , 000 dead and wounded in i t s f ig h t w ith the Kurds, and had become clearly inferior to the Iranian m ilitary. - 3 -

On March 6, 1975, an agreement, mediated through the Algerians, was reached between Iran and Iraq on the Shatt-al-Arab waterway. To call it an agreement is perhaps inaccurate. The Shah of Iran, at the peak of his power in the region, was able to force Iraq to accept a move of the border from the Iranian side to the middle of the waterway, and to drop its claims to the oil-rich province in Iran called Khuzistan by the Iranians and Arabistan by the Iraqis. In return, the Shah agreed to stop his support of the Kurdish rebels. Although Iraq appeared to be getting the short end of the stick, it benefitted substantially from the agreement. Without the Shah's support, the Kurdish rebellion quickly waned thus permitting Iraq to use its resources from o il for economic and m ilitary development.

Saddam Hussein has never forgotten the 1975 humiliation at the hands of the Shah. Recent events which have caused another shift of power in the region have now permitted him the opportunity to avenge the concessions made in Algiers. With the fa ll from power o f the Shah, and the d e te r io r a tio n o f the armed fo rc e s and economy of Iran resulting from the convulsive Islamic revolution, Iraq can apparently ascend to the position of primacy so recently held by I r a n .

Whether the Iraq-Iran war goes on until it encompasses the Persian Gulf Region and halts a ll oil traffic or it ends tomorrow with some burnt-out refineries, bombed ports and a couple of years of negotiations ahead is difficult to predict. What is important is the potential threat it places on the stability of the Western w orld and w orld peace.

OIL SUPPLY AND THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ

Of vital importance in this conflict is the oil supply to the West. Within hours of full-scale warfare between Iraq and Iran, the two countries were out of the oil-exporting business, and the world abruplty lost 7% of its total petroleum supply. Saudi Arabia is the world's largest o il producer with 9, 500, 000 bbl. per day. Iraq is the second largest producer of o il with 3, 400, 000 bbl. per day. Iran, which was the second largest producer o f o ilwith 6, 000, 000 bbl. per day before the revolution, has dropped to fo u rth at 1, 500, 000 bbl. per day.

As the war continues there is a dangerous possibility that the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow ocean passage 30 miles wide at its narrowest point, at the southern end of the Persian Gulf, might be closed because of the hostilities. - 4 -

Fortunately, the Western World with some readjustment, can get by without Iraq's and Iran's o il. However, this optimism about coping without Iraq's and Iran's wells does not extend to the remote but frightening possibility that the Strait of Hormuz might be closed to navigation if the level of hostilities escalates. Through this narrow ocean passage which the late Shah once called "the West's jugular vein", 40% of the non-Communist world's o il supply passes. In fact it may be the most important piece of geography in the world today. Specifically, any blockade of the Strait would choke off 607, of Europe's supplies, 11% of America's stocks and 707o o f the o i l used in Japan, almost certainly plunging the world into deep recession and economic and p olitical chaos.

It would not be easy to close the Hormuz Strait, at least not directly. Unlike the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, the navigable, 26 mile-long tanker channel is an average depth of 216 feet deep. A fully laden oil tanker could sail around or deliberately over a sunken vessel with little problem. However, it would not be difficu lt to bring the oil traffic to a halt directly. All it would take is an attack against an oil tanker by a plane or patrol boat. This would be enough to scare off navigation or raise marine insurance rates to uneconomical heights and thus establish an effective blockade.

Compared w ith n a tio n s li k e Japan and France, the U. S., seems in theory, less vulnerable to a dramatic reduction in o il from the Persian Gulf region. We get less than 30% of our o il from the region, v . s. over 607, for Japan and France. But in fact, the repercussion would be drastically felt by the U. S. Under the terms of the International Energy Agency pact drawn up last May, the United States and 20 other industrialized countries agreed to share any future oil shortfall. Excess U. S. supply would go toward helping worse-off nations. The hardships would be common to a ll: scarce heating o il, gas lines, and rationing.

THE SUPERPOWERS

For the present time, the United States and the Soviet Union are committed to remaining neutral. Both superpowers have a strategic interest in the area; and neither w ill stand by if the other should make p o litic a l or m ilitary gains from this conflict. Under the Carter Doctrine, proclaimed by the President last January, the U. S. is com- m itte d to keeping the S t r a it o f Hormuz open. The U. S. would prefer to do this by diplomatic means, but we have very little leverage in Baghdad or in Tehran. - 5 -

The Soviet Union is the main supplier of arms to Iraq. However, the French have recently been supplying Iraq with a growing number of significant weapons. Iran on the other hand continues to rely on American made weapons acquired during the days o f the Shah. These weapons are in need o f spare p a rts and improved maintenance. It has been a fleeting hope of some, that in a possible exchange for the 52 American hostages we would re- supply Iran's dwindling m ilitary arsenal.

Though neither Iraq or Iran has made any attempt to interfere with shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the Soviets are concerned about U. S. preparations for armed intervention in the Persian Gulf in the case of a blockade of oil supplies. Back in Washington there is concern that if the conflict drags on, the Soviet Union being Iraq's main supplier of arms and who shares a 1, 250 mile border with Iran, would have a built-in advantage in case of internal complications in either country.

THE WESTERN POWERS

There are 31 United States Navy ships in the vicinity of the Persian Gulf, including two aircraft carriers. However, the Soviet Union has far more men in this region. The Soviets have consider ably fewer ships. But there are many constraints at work because of the American concern for the 52 hostages in Iran and the sensi tivity of Arab countries to superpower intervention.

President Carter has told the major oil-consuming nations that the United States is interested in hosting a conference to discuss the economic repercussions of cut-off of the o il supply flowing through the S t r a it o f Hormuz and p o s s ib le a ctio n s to be ta k en to prevent th is from happening. The United States is also looking to Britain, France, Germany and Japan fo r support in any in t e r n a t io n a l ta sk fo rc e th a t may be formed to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Given the economic might of Japan and the fact that 70% of its o il comes from the Persian Gulf there is little reason why she should not share in the burden o f defending t h is v i t a l waterway. Germany and France should lik e w is e share this burden. Germany and Japan are prohibited by their respective constitutions to involve themselves in m ilitary or naval exercises outside their sphere of sovereignty. But their constitutions do not prohibit them from non-military support of such exercises--such as financial. Great Britain has announced that it has sent a guided- missile destroyer and support ship to the Indian Ocean to give the British as flexible a stance as possible in the event the situation in the Persian Gulf worsens. - 6 -

THE MIDDLE EASTERN REGION

The war has brought cautious Arab support for Iraq. The moderate Arab nations like Saudi Arabia are hardly friendly supporters of Iraq. Iraq, while being Arab, unlike Persian Iran, is extremely fanatical and unwilling in many cases to work closely with its Arab neighbors. Arab support of Iraq was only recently demonstrated by the fact that four moderate Arab nations bordering the Persian Gulf allowed the Iraqi Air Force to store its planes in these Arab c o u n trie s to avoid p o s s ib le bombardment by Iran .

Despite their dislike for the Khomeini regime and fear of the Iraqis, the rulers of the Arab gulf states are hardly happy with one more hot spot in an area a lre a d y trou b led by the A r a b - I s r a e li dispute in the west and the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the east.

Israel probably would unofficially like to see Iran win this war. Iraq has been Israel's staunchest and most f a n a t ic a l enemy. A victory for Iraq would bolster Iraq's position as the dominant m ilitary and political power in the region and strengthen Iraq's resolve to destroy Israel.

What action should the U. S. take--or could take--in the conflict? We should convince the Soviets to keep her hands--political and military--out of the conflict. We should support any and a ll efforts by the Islamic world to mediate this conflict. We should keep our hands out of the conflict. However, we should be prepared for any and a ll eventualities. Our naval presence in the Persian Gulf is appropriate preparedness. And, let's pray that the Strait of Hormuz is kept open. PANAMA CANAL

WHILE THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF THE PANAMA CANAL

MAKE UP SOME OF THE BRIGHTEST PAGES IN OUR HISTORY, THE C IR

CUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE CREATION OF THE ORIGINAL CANAL TREATY

ARE AMONG THE DARKEST.

WE FIRST NEGOTIATED A TREATY TO CONSTRUCT A CANAL WITH

COLOMBIA, OF WHICH PANAMA WAS SIMPLY A PROVINCE, BUT THE

COLOMBIAN SENATE UNANIMOUSLY REJECTED A TREATY. WE THEN GAVE

OUR TACIT BLESSING TO PANAMA'S MOVE FOR INDEPENDENCE. WHEN

THE PANAMANIANS RAISED THE FLAG OF INDEPENDENCE ON - 2 -

NOVEMBER 3 , 1903, OUR CRUISER USS NASHVILLE WAS ON HAND TO

PREVENT COLOMBIAN REINFORCEMENTS FROM LANDING, AND JUST THREE

DAYS LATER WE GAVE OFFICIAL RECOGNITION TO THE NEW REPUBLIC.

ONE OF THE FORCES BEHIND THE PANAMANIAN REVOLUTION WAS A

FRENCHMAN NAMED P H ILIP P E BUNAU-VARILLA, FORMER CH IEF ENGINEER

OF THE UNSUCCESSFUL FRENCH CANAL COMPANY. UNDER THE TREATY

THE FRENCH WERE TO RECEIVE $40 MILLION FOR THE EQUIPMENT AND

OTHER MATERIALS LEFT OVER FROM THEIR ILL-FATED CANAL BUILDING

EFFORTS. WHEN COLOMBIA REFUSED TO RATIFY THE TREATY, THE

FRENCH HAD VISIONS OF THIS MONEY FLYING OUT THE WINDOW. - 3 -

ACTING AS PANAMA'S TREATY REPRESENTATIVE, BUNAU-VARILLA

PUT IN THE SAME $40 MILLION PAYMENT TO THE FRENCH WHICH HAD

BEEN IN THE TREATY WITH COLOMBIA AND THEN SWEETENED THE DEAL

BY GIVING THE U .S. A WIDER ZONE THAN IT HAD BEEN ABLE TO

NEGOTIATE WITH COLOMBIA AND BY ADDING THE INFAMOUS "IN

PERPETUITY" PROVISION. THE NEW PANAMANIAN REPUBLIC ATTEMPTED

TO REASSERT CONTROL OVER THE TREATY PROCESS BY SENDING MINISTERS

OF ITS OWN. BUT THEY WERE TOO LA TE: SECRETARY OF STATE HAY

AND BUNAU-VARILLA SIGNED THE TREATY TWO HOURS BEFORE THE -4 -

PANAMANIANS ARRIVED IN WASHINGTON. THE TREATY WAS SIGNED ON

NOVEMBER 1 8 , BARELY TWO WEEKS AFTER PANAMA DECLARED ITS

INDEPENDENCE.

SECRETARY HAY MADE NO BONES ABOUT THE KIND OF BARGAIN

THAT HAD BEEN STRUCK. THE FOLLOWING YEAR, IN A LETTER TO

THE UNITED STATES SENATE URGING RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY,

HE SAID " . . .AS SOON AS THE SENATE VOTES WE SHALL HAVE A TREATY

IN THE MAIN VERY SATISFACTORILY, VASTLY ADVANTAGEOUS TO THE

UNITED STATES, AND WE MUST CONFESS, WITH WHAT FACE WE MUSTER, - 5-

NOT SO ADVANTAGEOUS TO PANAMA.,.YOU AND I KNOW TOO WELL HOW

MANY POINTS THERE ARE IN TH IS TREATY TO WHICH A PANAMANIAN

PATRIOT COULD O B J E C T ."

WHAT DID WE GET UNDER THIS TREATY? THE "USE, OCCUPATION

AND CONTROL" OF A ZONE OF LAND BISECTING THE NEW REPUBLIC.

THE RIGHTS, POWER AND AUTHORITY GRANTED US WERE THE SAME THE

UNITED STATES "WOULD POSSESS AND EXERCISE IF IT WERE THE

SOVEREIGN OF THE TERRITORY.. ." IN ADDITION, OUR USE,

OCCUPATION AND CONTROL WERE NOT FOR A FIXED TERM BUT "IN STRENGTH AND READINESS

DURING THE YEARS OF THE OF THE WAR IN V IET NAM, WE WEAKENED

ON OUR MILITARY.MUSCLE. THIS GRADUAL, BUT STEADY EROSION

CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE 1960s AND EARLY 1970s.

MILITARY SPENDING DURING THE VIET NAM YEARS, DESPITE THE

HUGE SUMS EXPENDED, WAS SIMPLY INSUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT

SIMULTANEOUSLY OPERATIONS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA, THE REGULAR

MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT ALREADY BOUGHT, THE REPLACEMENT OF

COMBAT LOSSES, AND THE PROCUREMENT OF NEW SHIPS, AIRCRAFT AND

FIGHTING VEHICLES WITH WHICH TO MODERNIZE THE FORCE. 2

TO SOME EXTENT, SOME OF WHAT WE BOUGHT WAS USEFUL ONLY

IN VIET NAM AND NOWHERE ELSE -- FOR EXAMPLE, THE NAVY'S

VAST ARMADA OF FIGHTING RIVER CRAFT IN THE DELTA.

SUBSTANTIAL SUMS - ALMOST $35 BILLION - WERE EXPENDED

FOR EQUIPMENT PROVIDED TO THE MILITARY FORCES OF SOUTH VIET

NAM. FOLLOWING OUR DEPARTURE FROM VIET NAMIN 1973, THERE

WAS A BROAD, BIPARTISAN AGREEMENT THAT MODERNIZATION

OF OUR MILITARY FORCES HAD TO BE OUR FIRST DEFENSE PRIORITY.

AT THE SAME TIM E, THE EQUIPMENT DESTROYED, OR DAMAGED IN

COMBAT, OR WORN-OUT HAD TO BE LARGELY REPLACED. 4

READINESS AND MODERNIZATION MUST PROCEED TO SOME EXTENT

IN PARALLEL— THE CHOICE IS NOT ONE OR THE OTHER. IF WE

MODERNIZE AT THE EXPENSE OF READINESS, WE HAVE THE PROMISE

OF A FUTURE MILITARY CAPABILITY, BUT AT THE RISK THAT WE

WILL BE UNABLE TO RESPOND TO PROVOCATION NOW. IF , HOWEVER,

WE FUND READINESS AT THE EXPENSE OF MODERNIZATION, THEN WE

CONDEMN OURSELVES TO CONFRONT SOPHISTICATED THREATS OF THE

FUTURE WITH OPERABLE, BUT OBSOLETE, FORCES OF THE PAST. 5

WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FUND OUR MODERNIZATION PROGRAMS,

PLUS COMMENCE A MAJOR EFFORT TO IMPROVE THE READINESS OF OUR

FORCES, BY INCREASING REAL (AFTER INFLATION) DEFENSE SPENDING

BY ABOUT 10% DURING THE PAST FOUR YEARS. THIS FOLLOWED A

PERIOD OF EIGHT YEARS IN WHICH DEFENSE SPENDING DECLINED BY

ABOUT 37% IN REAL TERMS. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE IN FOUR

YEARS TO CORRECT COMPLETELY THE PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE VIET

NAM WAR AND EIGHT YEARS OF INADEQUATE DEFENSE BUDGETS, BUT WE

HAVE MADE SOUND AND STEADY PROGRESS. 6

THE MOST PRESSING MODERNIZATION NEED WAS TO IMPROVE OUR EARLY

COMBAT CAPABILITY IN WESTERN EUROPE. THIS IMPROVEMENT IS BEING

REALIZED THROUGH UNILATERAL U. S. EFFORTS (SUCH AS INCREASING

QUANTITY OF PREPOSITIONED COMBAT STOCKS IN NATO DEPOTS) AND

THROUGH MEASURES TAKEN IN CONCERT WITH OUR EUROPEAN

PARTNERS (SUCH AS THOSE INCLUDED IN THE LONG TERM DEFENSE

PROGRAM). 7

NEXT, THE ADMINISTRATION LAUNCHED AN OVERDUE FULL-SCALE

MODERNIZATION OF ALL THE ELEMENTS OF OUR STRATEGIC DETERRENT.

EXISTING MINUTEMAN ICBMs ARE BEING MODERNIZED WITH NEW WARHEADS.

THE M-X, A NEW MOBILE AND SURVIVABLE ICBM, IS IN

ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT. THE FIRST OF THE NEW TRIDENT-CLASS

B A LLISTIC M ISSILE SUBMARINES, USS OHIO, IS GOING TO SEA.

OLDER, POSEIDON-EQUIPPED SUBMARINES ARE BEING EQUIPPED WITH

NEW TRIDENT BALLISTIC MISSILES. THE AIR-LAUNCHED CRUISE

MISSILE IS IN PRODUCTION. 3

A VIGOROUS PROGRAM IS UNDERWAY TO EXPLORE FOLLOW-ON MANNED

BOMBER OPTIONS TO REPLACE OUR B-52s. WE ARE ALSO COMPREHENSIVELY

MODERNIZING OUR THEATER NUCLEAR WEAPONS DEPLOYED IN EUROPE. OUR

MODERNIZATION PROGRAM IS NOW UNDERWAY, AND HAS MOMENTUM. 9

RECENTLY, IT HAS BEEN ALLEGED THAT MANY OF OUR ARMY

D IVISIO N S, NAVY SH IPS, AND AIR FORCE SQUADRONS ARE NOT READY

FOR COMBAT. THESE REPORTS, WHICH ARE BASED UPON REFERENCES

TO THE MILITARY "C-RATING" SYSTEM, ARE EXTREMELY MISLEADING.

THE C -RATING SYSTEM IS A PLANNING TOOL FOR FLAGGING READINESS

PROBLEM AREAS - PRIMARILY RESOURCE DEFICIENCIES - IT IS NOT

DESIGNED TO BE THE MEASURE OF OUR WAR-FIGHTING CAPABILITY. 10

DURING THE PAST FOUR YEARS, THE C-RATING SYSTEM HAS

UNDERGONE A NUMBER OF CHANGES, AND THE STANDARDS HAVE BECOME

TOUGHER. IT IS , THEREFORE, INCORRECT TO VIEW C-RATINGS AS

A DEFINITIVE MEASURE OF READINESS TRENDS OVER A NUMBER OF

YEARS. 11

THE C-RATINGS TELL US THE RESOURCE CONDITION OF OUR UNITS.

THEY ARE A MANAGEMENT TOOL WHICH LETS US KNOW HOW WELL UNITS

ARE USING THE RESOURCES THEY ARE BEING PROVIDED. THE RATINGS

ALSO TELL US WHERE RESOURCE PROBLEMS EXIST AND THE EXTENT

OF THOSE PROBLEMS. THE RATINGS DO NOT PREDICT HOW WELL THAT

UNIT MIGHT DO IN COMBAT. A UNIT THAT IS RATED C-4 OVERALL BECAUSE

OF A SHORTAGE OF CERTAIN EQUIPMENT, BUT IS OTHERWISE TOP NOTCH AND

C-1 IN TERMS OF PERSONNEL, TRAINING, AND MAINTENANCE COULD BE

MADE C-1 OVERALL VERY QUICKLY BY DIVERTING THE NEEDED EQUIPMENT

FROM STOCKS. 12

THE MAJOR PROBLEM THAT THE C-RATING REPORTS HAVE FLAGGED

RECENTLY IS A SHORTAGE OF EXPERIENCED MILITARY PERSONNEL. THIS IS,

INDEED, A PROBLEM THAT WE MUST SOLVE - AND WE HAVE MADE GREAT

STRIDES TOWARD SOLVING IT THROUGH THE NUNN-WARNER LEGISLATION,

THE ADMINISTRATION'S FAIR BENEFITS PACKAGE, THE SIGNIFICANT

11.7% PAY RAISE, AND THE VERY RECENT SEA PAY LEGISLATION PROPOSAL. 13

RECENT STATEMENTS CRITICAL OF THE READINESS OF OUR

AIRCRAFT CARRIERS HIGHLIGHT HOW THE READINESS REPORTING

SYSTEM CAN RESULT IN A MISLEADING EVALUATION OF OUR COMBAT

CAPABILITY. NAVY CARRIER FORCE LEVELS ARE ESTABLISHED

ON THE BASIS THAT WE NEED TWO AT HOME (IN OVERHAUL, OTHER

MAINTENANCE, OR IN TRAINING) FOR EACH SHIP FORWARD DEPLOYED. 14

A LL CARRIERS IN OUR FORCE CANNOT - AND ARE NOT MEANT

TO BE - "FULLY COMBAT READY " ALL THE TIM E. TODAY, FOR

EXAMPLE, OF THE SEVEN "NOT READY" CARRIERS, FIVE ARE EITHER

IN OVERHAUL OR UNDERGOING SCHEDULED MAJOR MAINTENANCE. THE

PERSONNEL AND OTHER SHORTAGES ON THE REMAINING TWO CARRIERS

(INDEPENDENCE AND KITTY HAWK) WOULD BE IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED

IN TIME OF CONFLICT BY REALLOCATION, AS EXPLAINED BY ADMIRAL

KINNEAR'S NAVAL AIR FORCE ATLANTIC FLEET HEADQUARTERS, IN A

STATEMENT THAT CALLED THE CARRIER READINESS CONTROVERSY"A

PAPER ISSUE." TODAY, IN THE INDIAN OCEAN AND THE ARABIAN SEA.. A

COMPLETELY NEW STRATEGIC THEATER.. WE HAVE THE LARGEST AND MOST

POWERFUL NAVAL FORCE EVER DEPLOYED TO THOSE WATERS. ADDITIONALLY,

NEAR THE ISLAND OF DIEGO GARCIA, WE HAVE A FLEET OF SHIPS THAT

HOLDS IN STORAGE THE HEAVY COMBAT EQUIPMENT FOR A MARINE BRIGADE

AND ASSOCIATED FIGHTER AND ATTACK SQUADRONS. ARMED WITH THIS

HEAVY EQUIPMENT - TAILORED TO THE REGION AND POTENTIAL THREAT -

THE MARINES COULD BE IN COMBAT IN DAYS. 16

THE COMBAT POTENTIAL OF THIS FORCE VASTLY EXCEEDS THE

MODEST PRESENCE OF THE MIDDLE EAST FORCE THAT, UNTIL

RECENTLY, WAS OUR ONLY NAVAL FORCE DEPLOYED TO THESE

STRATEGIC WATERS. WE HAVE DONE MORE IN SIX MONTHS THAN HAS

BEEN DONE IN SIX YEARS. BY ANY REAL WORLD MEASURE WE ARE

MORE READY NOW TO PROJECT OUR INFLUENCE AND DEFEND OUR INTERESTS

IN THE INDIAN OCEAN AND PERSIAN GULF THAN WE EVER HAVE BEEN. 17

FURTHER IMPROVEMENT OF OUR RAPID DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITY

IS AN IMPORTANT IN ITIA TIVE OF THE ADMINISTRATION'S SECOND TERM.

BY THE MID-30s, AMONG OTHER THINGS, WE PROPOSE'TO PUT THE

EQUIPMENT FOR THREE MARINE BRIGADES IN MARITIME PREPOSITIONING

SHIPS, AND TO PROCURE AND MODIFY EIGHT FAST SL 7-CLASS ROLL

ON, ROLL-OFF SHIPS, TO LIFT A RAPIDLY DEPLOYABLE ARMY MECHANIZED

DIVISION. 18

ARMY READINESS. TOO, IS MUCH BETTER THAN UNINFORMED C R IT ICS

WOULD HAVE IT. THE 82ND AIRBORNE DIVISION AT FORT BRA6G AND

OUR FORWARD -DEPLOYED FORCES (THE MORE THAN SIX "DIVISION

EQUIVALENTS" IN EUROPE AND KOREA) ARE COMBAT-READY, AND MAINTAINED

IN THE HIGHEST READINESS STATUS POSSIBLE. THE DIVISIONS

AND OTHER UNITS HERE AT HOME, MANY OF WHICH HAVE TRAINING

AND REPLACEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES, HAVE LOWER C-RATINGS, BUT

THE ARMY EXPECTS THIS TO IMPROVE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE

NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS BECAUSE OF RECRUITING CLIMATE IMPROVEMENTS

AND A RECENTLY-ANNOUNCED PLAN TO REALLOCATE NON-COMMISSIONED

OFFICERS FROM OVER-STRENGTH TO UNDERSTRENGTH UNITS. 19

(TO PROVIDE PERSPECTIVE: ONLY A THIRD OF SOVIET

DIVISIONS ARE FULLY COMBAT READY, PRIMARILY THOSE IN EASTERN

EUROPE OR ALONG THE SINO-SOVIET BORDER, THE REMAINING TWO-

THIRDS ARE AT REDUCED OR CADRE STRENGTH. THESE DIVISIONS

HAVE VARYING PERCENTAGES OF ACTIVE DUTY PERSONNEL AND

EQUIPMENT ASSIGNED TO THEM, AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE FILLED

OUT IN AN EMERGENCY WITH RESERVISTS, MANY OF WHOM HAVE RECEIVED

LITTLE OR NO TRAINING SINCE THEIR DEPARTURE FROM ACTIVE SERVICE.) 20

LIKE THE OTHER SERVICES, THE AIRFORCE. HAS BEEN CONFRONTED

WITH A CONTINUOUS CHALLENGE TO BALANCE FORCE MODERNIZATION WITH

THE NECESSARY READINESS AND SUPPORT-ABILITY OF ITS FORCES.

THE READINESS PROBLEMS THAT EXIST IN THE AIR FORCE

TODAY ARE MOSTLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO A LACK OF SPARE PARTS.

THERE IS NOW AN UNPRECEDENTED SHIFT TOWARD INCREASED

FUNDING OF READINESS-RELATED ACCOUNTS. CURRENT PROGRAMS

INCLUDE BILLION DOLLAR INCREASES FOR SPARE PARTS, DEPOT MAINTENANCE,

MODERN MUNITIONS, FLYING HOURS AND TRAINING. 21

AIRCRAFT AVAILABILITY STATISTICS FOR THE AIR FORCE'S NEWEST,

FIRST-LINE TACTICAL FIGHTERS -TH E A-lO, F-15, AND F-16 -

HAVE IMPROVED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, AND ARE EXPECTED

TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE. S A L T I I

THE ENORMITY OF THE DESTRUCTIVE POWER WE AND THE SOVIETS

CAN DELIVER AT THE PUSH OF A FEW BUTTONS STAGGERS THE IMAGINA-

TION. THE BOMBS WHICH LEVELED HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI HAD A

YIELD OF ABOUT 13 KILOTONS WHICH MEANS THE EQUIVALENT OF 1 3 , 000

TONS OF TNT. TODAY, OUR SMALLEST STRATEGIC WARHEAD, ON THE POSEIDEN

M ISSILE, IS THREE TIMES MORE POWERFUL, AND THE M ISSILE CARRIES

TEN SUCH WARHEADS. M ISSILES ON BOTH SIDES HAVE WARHEADS WITH

EXPLOSIVE POWER EQUAL TO SEVERAL MILLIONS OF TONS OF TNT. THE

LARGEST, WHICH IS IN THE SOVIET ARSENAL, CAN CARRY IN ITS NOSE

CONE THE EQUIVALENT OF SOME 20 MILLION TONS OF TNT. IF YOU WERE -2 -

TO LOAD THAT MUCH TNT INTO RAILROAD BOX CARS, THE TRAIN

WOULD STRETCH ACROSS THE MAINLAND UNITED STATES FROM THE

ATLANTIC TO THE PACIFIC,

AS ANOTHER WAY OF PICTURING THE DEVASTATING FORCE WE

ARE TALKING ABOUT, IT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED THAT ALL OF THE CON-

VENTIONAL BOMBS DROPPED IN WORLD WAR II HAD AN EXPLOSIVE POWER

OF ONLY TWO MILLION TONS OF TNT, THIS IS THE YIELD OF ONE OR

TWO ORDINARY NUCLEAR BOMBS TODAY, AND THE UNITED STATES AND THE

SOVIET UNION EACH HAVE THOUSANDS OF BOMBS IN TH EIR S TO C K P ILES,' -3-

HARDLY ABLE TO COMPREHEND THESE FORCES AND FEELING HELPLESS

TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEM, ONE NATURAL REACTION IS TO M INIM IZE

THE PROBLEM W H IC HCAN AND HAS LED TO MONSTROUS AND DANGEROUS

DELUSIONS. ONE IS THAT A NUCLEAR WAR WOULD BE JUST LIKE A

CONVENTIONAL ONE, ONLY A LITTLE BIGGER. THUS, WE HEAR PEOPLE

TALK ABOUT WINNING AN ALL-OUT NUCLEAR WAR. BUT ONCE SUCH A WAR

GOT STARTED, WHO WOULD SURRENDER? WHO WOULD BE LEFT TO ACCEPT

THE WHITE FLAG? HOW WOULD THE MESSAGE BE COMMUNICATED? IN THE

MIDST OF THE RESULTING DEVASTATION AND CONTAMINATION, HOW COULD

YOU TELL WHO WAS THE VICTOR AND WHO THE VANQUISHED? AS N IKITA

KHRUSHCHEV ONCE SAID, "THE SURVIVORS WOULD ENVY THE DEAD." - 4 -

EQUALLY DANGEROUS IS THE IDEA THAT THERE CAN BE SUCH

A THING AS A "LIMITED" NUCLEAR WAR, THIS IS LIKE BELIEVING

THAT YOU WON'T HAVE AN EXPLOSION IF YOU THROW A MATCH INTO A

POOL OF GASOLINE. PRESIDENT BREZNEV HAS SAID THAT EVEN A SINGLE

NUCLEAR BOMB DROPPED BY EITHER OF THE SUPERPOWERS WOULD RESULT

IN GENERAL NUCLEAR WAR. CAN ANYONE SERIOUSLY DOUBT IF A NUCLEAR

BOMB LANDED ANYWHERE IN OUR COUNTRY THAT WE COULD DO ANYTHING

BUT RESPOND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT? -5-

A FURTHER DANGEROUS DELUSION IS THAT JUST AS WITH CONVEN-

TIONAL WARS, RECOVERY WOULD BE POSSIBLE AND THAT NATIONS

COULD DIG THEMSELVES OUT OF THE RUBBLE. BUT AFTER A NUCLEAR

WAR, EVEN THE RUBBLE IS POISONED AND DEADLY.

IF THE NUCLEAR ARMS RACE CONTINUES UNCHECKED, WE FACE

EITHER ECONOMIC STRANGULATION AS MORE AND MORE OF OUR NATIONAL

WEALTH IS SPENT ON INSTRUMENTS OF DESTRUCTION OR A CATACLYSMIC

WAR WHICH AT WORST W ILL LEAVE THE WORLD A CHARRED CINDER AND

AT BEST UNDO THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF A M ILLENNIUM, RETURNING US TO

THE MIDDLE AGES. -6-

THESE ARE NOT PLEASANT IMAGES TO BRING TO YOU ON THIS

HAPPY DAY IN YOUR LIVES. BUT IF YOU AND THE GENERATIONS THAT

FOLLOW YOU ARE TO ENJOY CONTINUED PEACE AND PROSPERITY, YOU

MUST MAKE A DEEP AND ABIDING COMMITMENT TO ARMS CONTROL AND

BRING YOUR VIEWS TO THE ATTENTION OF THOSE IN GOVERNMENT RES-

PONSIBLE FOR OUR ARMS CONTROL PO LICIES.

NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY, NUCLEAR WEAPONS, STRATEGIC THEORY

AND ARMS CONTROL TOO OFTEN SEEM TO BE THE DOMAIN OF THE PHYSICISTS,

ENGINEERS, AND UNIFORMED EXPERTS. TOO OFTEN, THE DEBATES REVOLVE

AROUND ELABORATE CALCULATIONS OF THROW-WEIGHT, CIRCULAR ERROR

PROBABLE, HARD TARGET K IL L -RATIO, AND EQUIVALENT MEGATONNAGE. I THINK WE HAVE MADE THE CENTRAL ISSUE TOO COMPLICATED.

WE HAVE REDUCED THE DEBATE TO DEHUMANIZED TECHNICALITIES AND

STATISTICS. WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING IS PUTTING THE ISSUE IN

HUMAN TERMS AND MAKING OURSELVES AWARE OF THE HORROR AND ANGUISH

ASSOCIATED WITH WAR. IF WE DO THIS AND APPLY BASIC COMMON SENSE,

WE W ILL FIND THE SALT AGREEMENT INVOLVES SOME VERY FUNDAMENTAL

AND FAM ILIAR CONCEPTS WHICH WE CAN ALL UNDERSTAND. -8-

THE FIRST IS FOUALITY. AS THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

AND THE CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF HAVE TESTIFIED

BEFORE THE CONGRESS, THE STRATEGIC NUCLEAR FORCES OF THE

UNITED STATES AND THE SOVIET UNION ARE ESSENTIALLY EQUIVALENT

THEY MAY LEAD IN SOME CATEGORIES OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS, AND WE

MAY LEAD IN OTHERS. BUT, OVERALL, ROUGH EQUALITY PREVAILS.

SALT FORMALIZES AND ENHANCES THAT EQUIVALENCE BY PLACING EQUAL

OVERALL CE IL INGS ON THE NUCLEAR ARSENALS OF BOTH COUNTRIES. - 9 -

A SECOND KEY CONCEPT IS DETERRENCE . TODAY, NEITHER THE

UNITED STATES NOR THE SOVIET UNION COULD LAUNCH A NUCLEAR FIRST-

STRIKE AGAINST THE OTHER AND ESCAPE DEVASTATING DESTRUCTION IN

RETALIATION. THE SURE KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH RETALIATION DETERS THE

FIRST STRIKE.

A THIRD FUNDAMENTAL IS STABILITY. THE CURRENT NUCLEAR BALANCE

IS STABLE. DETERRENCE EXISTS, AND NEITHER COUNTRY CAN REASONABLY

EXPECT TO ALTER THE BALANCE TO ITS FAVOR. SALT ENHANCES STABILITY

BY CLOSING OFF MAJOR ASPECTS OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL ARMS RACE, WHICH—

topic: THE IRAQ-IRAN WAR

SPEECH BY SENATOR DANIEL K. INOUYE date: Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriters, Sheraton W aikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii release date: Monday, October 13, 1980

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

The war which now rages between Iran and Iraq is the latest con flagration in a centuries-long history of mutual h o stility and distrust It is a war which has many facets, a ll of which must be kept in mind if we are to understand the broader conflict there. Ostensibly, it is a border war, a battle for territory and for control over the Shatt-al-Arab estuary, the c ritic a l waterway which separates the two countries, and which is Iraq's only water access to the Persian Gulf. It is also an ideological and religious struggle, pitting the Moslem fundamentalist government of Iran, which is controlled by Moslems of the Shiite sect, against the secular, socialist government of Iraq, which is dominated by Moslems of the Sunni sect. It is also the most recent episode in an ancient ethnic struggle between the Iraqis, who are Arab, and the Iranians, who are Indo-European. Most significantly, it is a contest between two nations for dominance for a region and the Persian Gulf. Perhaps more precisely, it may be seen as an attempt by Iraq's President Saddam Hussein to renew the dormant dream of Pan-Arab unity, while fillin g in th e void le ft by the late Shah as the region's p o litica l and m ilitary strongman.

This struggle for regional leadership dates back to the seventh century. Tracing the outlines of this very old and bitter rivalry lends perspective to the current war. Early in the seventh century, Iraq was conquered by the Arabs, who were follow ers of Mohammed. Seeking to assume control over Mesopotamia and to expand Arab in - fluence elsewhere, Arab forces warred in te rm itte n tly with Persia, as -2-

Iran was known u n til 1935. In 637 A. D., the Arabs defeated the Persians at Qadisiyah, in a battle President Saddam Hussein claims the Ayatollah is now seeking to avenge. Islam was thus established in the region. Ironically, the seeds of subsequent religious con- flic t were also planted before the lapse of the seventh century. As a result of a bloody dispute over who was to succeed Mohammed, the Shiite sect was created in opposition to the larger Sunni branch of Islam.

Today, the Sunni branch remains the m ajority sect of the Arab world. Iran, however, is ruled by Shiites, and the m ajority of its population belongs to the Shitte sect. Iraq, on the other hand, stands in a very tenuous position. Though its government is dominated by Sunni Moslems, its populace is mainly Shiite.

The origins of the present te rrito ria l disputes go back to the conquest in the sixteenth century of Mesopotamia, as Iraq was then known, by the OttomanTurks. The conflicts which were generated by this conquest have carried forward into the modern era, never having been permanently resolved. Sovereignty over the Shatt-al-Arab waterway was a bone of contention then, and it remains a sensitive and emotional issue today.

In 1937, under the auspices of the B ritish, Iran and Iraq negotiated and signed a border agreement. The agreement permitted Iran to use the Shatt-al-Aram waterway, but did not give Iran what it had really desired, a border down the middle of the waterway. Iraq was given virtu a l control overthe waterway. The border was set on the low-water level of the Iranian side. Iran complained that this arrangement was forced on it by the B ritish in violation of common international practice.

With B ritain’s support, Iraq was able u n til the 1950's to impose its w ill on Iran with respect to the many te rrito ria l issues which remained from the days of the Ottoman Empire. Beginning in the late 1950's, however, the balance of power between these hostile neighbors began to sh ift. In 1958, the Iraqi monarchy was overthrown and In 1968 the socialist Baath Party came to power after a coup. During this period of turm oil, Iraq had turned away from the West to Moscow, and had become weaker relative to its neighbor. In 1969, the Shah of Iran, seizing on this perceptible sh ift in power, formally denounced and renounced the agreement of 1937. By 1974, Iraq had been significantly weakened by its long war w ith the rebellious Kurds, who had been aided by Iran. Iraq's armed forces had lost more than 60, 000 dead and wounded in its fig h t w ith the Kurds, and had become clearly Inferior to the Iranian m ilitary. -3-

On March 6, 1975, an agreement, mediated through the Algerians, was reached between Iran and Iraq on the Shatt-al-Arab waterway. To call it an agreement is perhaps inaccurate. The Shah of Iran, at the peak of his power in the region, was able to force Iraq to accept a move of the border from the Iranian side to the middle of the waterway, and to drop its claims to the o il-rich province in Iran called Khuzistan by the Iranians and Arabistan by the Iraqis. In return, the Shah agreed to stop his support of the Kurdish rebels. Although Iraq appeared to be getting the short end of the stick, it benefitted substantially from the agreement. Without the Shah's support, the Kurdish rebellion quickly waned thus perm itting Iraq to use its resources from o il for economic and m ilitary development.

Saddam Hussein has never forgotten the 1975 hum iliation at the hands of the Shah. Recent events which have caused another sh ift of power in the region have now permitted him the opportunity to avenge the concessions made in Algiers. With the fa ll from power of the Shah, and the deterioration of the armed forces and economy of Iran resulting from the convulsive Islamic revolution, Iraq can apparently ascend to the position of primacy so recently held by I r a n .

Whether the Iraq-Iran war goes on u n til it encompasses the Persian Gulf Region and halts a ll o il tra ffic or it ends tomorrow w ith some burnt-out refineries, bombed ports and a couple of years of negotiations ahead is d iffic u lt to predict. What is important is the potential threat it places on the stability of the Western world and world peace.

O IL SUPPLY AND THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ

Of vita l Importance in this conflict is the o il supply to the West. Within hours of full-scale warfare between Iraq and Iran, the two countries were out of the oil-exporting business, and the world abruplty lost 7% of its total petroleum supply. Saudi Arabia is the world's largest o il producer with 9, 500, 000 bbl. per day. Iraq is the second largest producer of o il with 3, 400, 000 bbl. per day. Iran, which was the second largest producer o f oil with 6,000, 000 bbl. per day before the revolution, has dropped to fo u rth at 1, 500, 000 bbl. p e r da y.

As the war continues there is a dangerous possibility that the S trait of Hormuz, a narrow ocean passage 30 miles wide at its narrowest point, at the southern end of the Persian Gulf, might be closed because of the h o stilitie s. -4-

Fortunately, the Western World w ith some readjustment, can get by without Iraq's and Iran's o il. However, this optimism about coping without Iraq's and Iran's wells does not extend to the remote but frightening possibility that the S trait of Hormuz might be closed to navigation if the level of hostilities escalates. Through this narrow ocean passage which the late Shah once called "the West's jugular vein", 40% of the non-Communist world’s o il supply passes. In fact it may be the most important piece of geography in the world today. Specifically, any blockade of the S trait would choke off 60% of Europe's supplies, 11% of America's stocks and 70% of the o il used in Japan, almost certainly plunging the world into deep recession and economic and p o litic a l chaos.

It would not be easy to close the Hormuz S trait, at least not directly. Unlike the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal, the navigable, 26 m ile-long tanker channel is an average depth of 216 feet deep. A fu lly laden o il tanker could sail around or deliberately over a sunken vessel with little problem. However, it would not be d iffic u lt to bring the o il tra ffic to a halt directly. A ll it would take is an attack against an o il tanker by a plane or patrol boat. This would be enough to scare off navigation or raise marine insurance rates to uneconomical heights and thus establish an effective blockade.

Compared w ith nations like Japan and France, the U. S., seems in theory, less vulnerable to a dramatic reduction in o il from the Persian Gulf region. We get less than307o of our o il from the region, v . s. over 60% for Japan and France. But in fact, the repercussion would be drastically fe lt by the U. S. Under the terms of the International Energy Agency pact drawn up last May, the United States and 20 other industrialized countries agreed to share any future o il shortfall. Excess U. S. supply would go toward helping worse-off nations. The hardships would be common to a ll: scarce heating o il, gas lines, and rationing.

THE SUPERPOWERS

For the present time, the United States and the Soviet Union are committed to remaining neutral. Both superpowers have a strategic interest in the area; and neither w ill stand by if the other should make po litica l or m ilitary gains from this conflict. Under the Carter Doctrine, proclaimed by the President last January, the U. S. is com- m itted to keeping the S trait of Hormuz open. The U. S. would prefer to do this by diplom atic means, but we have very little leverage in Baghdad or in Tehran. -5 -

The Soviet Union is the main supplier of arms to Iraq. However, the French have recently been supplying Iraq with a growing number of significant weapons. Iran on the other hand continues to rely on American made weapons acquired during the days of the Shah. These weapons are in need of spare parts and improved maintenance. It has been a fleeting hope of some, that in a possible exchange for the 52 American hostages we would re- supply Iran’s dwindling m ilitary arsenal.

Though neither Iraq or Iran has made any attempt to interfere w ith shipping through the S trait of Hormuz, the Soviets are concerned about U. S. preparations for armed intervention in the Persian Gulf in the case of a blockade of o il supplies. Back in Washington there is concern that if the conflict drags on, the Soviet Union being Iraq's main supplier of arms and who shares a 1, 250 m ile border w ith Iran, would have a b u ilt-in advantage in case of internal complications in either country.

THE WESTERN POWERS

There are 31 United States Navy ships in the vicin ity of the Persian Gulf, including two a ircra ft carriers. However, the Soviet Union has far more men in this region. The Soviets have consider ably fewer ships. But there are many constraints at work because of the American concern for the 52 hostages in Iran and the sensi tiv ity of Arab countries to superpower intervention.

President Carter has told the major oil-consuming nations that the United States is interested in hosting a conference to discuss the economic repercussions of cut-off of the o il supply flowing through the S trait of Hormuz and possible actions to be taken to prevent this from happening. The UnitedStates is also looking to B ritain, France, Germany and Japan for support in any international task force that may be formed to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Given the economic might of Japan and the fact that 70% of its o il comes from the Persian Gulf there is little reason why she should not share in the burden of defending this v ita l waterway. Germany and France should likewise share this burden. Germany and Japan are prohibited by their respective constitutions to involve themselves in m ilitary or naval exercises outside their sphere of sovereignty. But their constitutions do not prohibit them from non-m ilitary support of such exercises--such as financial. Great B ritain has announced that it has sent a guided- m issile destroyer and support ship to the Indian Ocean to give the B ritish as flexible a stance as possible in the event the situation in the Persian Gulf worsens. -6-

THE MIDDLE EASTERN REGION

The war has brought cautious Arab support for Iraq. The moderate Arab nations like Saudi Arabia are hardly friendly supporters of Iraq. Iraq, while being Arab, unlike Persian Iran, is extremely fanatical and unw illing in many cases to work closely with its Arab neighbors. Arab support of Iraq was only recently demonstrated by the fact that four moderate Arab nations bordering the Persian Gulf allowed the Iraqi Air Force to store its planes in these Arab countries to avoid possible bombardment by Iran.

Despite their dislike for the Khomeini regime and fear of the Iraqis, the rulers of the Arab gulf states are hardly happy with one more hot spot in an area already troubled by the Arab-Israeli dispute in the west and the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the e a s t .

Israel probably would unofficially like to see Iran win this war. Iraq has been Israel's staunchest and most fanatical enemy. A victory for Iraq would bolster Iraq's position as the dominant m ilitary and p o litica l power in the region and strengthen Iraq's resolve to destroy Israel.

What action should the U.S. take--or could take--in the con- flic t? We should convince the Soviets to keep her hands--political and m ilitary--out of the conflict. We should support any and a ll efforts by the Islamic world to mediate this conflict. We should keep our hands out of the conflict. However, we should be prepared for any and a ll eventualities. Our naval presence in the Persian Gulf is appropriate preparedness. And, le t’s pray that the S trait of Hormuz is kept open. LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS

CONFEREES AGREE ON HAWAII MILITARY CONSTRUCTION FUNDS topic:

date: JUNE 29, 1976

release date: FOR I MMEDI ATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. Senate and House conferees agreed today to appropriate $42. 521 m illion for m ilitary projects in Hawaii, with $7. 4 m illion ear- marked for Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard electric shop modernization and $2 m illion for an overhaul of Tripler Army Medical Center.

all but $1 m illion of the fiscal 1677m ilitary construction appropriations intended for Hawaii that passed the Senate by unanimous vote last Saturday. A Senate-approved $ 4 . 585 m illion appropriation for the Pearl Harbor Shipyard Quality Assurance fa cility was trimmed by c o n fe re e s today to $ 3 . 585 m i l li o n .

"I am extremely pleased that the conference committee wisely maintained the funding that had been backed strongly by both the Senate Committees on Appropriations and Armed Services, and the fu ll Senate. " Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaii), a ranking member of the Senate Approp riations Subcommittee on M ilitary Construction and a conferee, said after today's meeting.

"So much must be done to improve and maintain our m ilitary fa c ilitie s , especially at Tripler and in the Pearl Harbor area, " he said.

The original $43. 521 m illion for Hawaii m ilitary projects approved by the Senate last Saturday matched the fisca l 1977 authorization figure set on May 13, 1976 by the Senate Armed Services Committee. But the original figure also represented a restoration of $13. 22 m illion cut by the House Appropriations Committee on June 8.

The Quality Assurance fa cility , the only project with funds cut by conferee now performs chemical and m etallurgical laboratory tests and research into welding methods in nine buildings, the oldest of which is 55 years old. The funds agreed to today would go towards consolidation of administrative and laboratory functions into one new two-story concrete block and steel b u il d in g .

Since the voters of Hawaii returned Dan Inouye to the

United States Senate in 1974, he has compiled an outstanding record of success and achievements on behalf of Hawaii.

The distance between the H a w a iia n Islands and Washington,

D.C. is the greatest of any state, but Dan has managed to keep close touch w ith the problems and concerns of the people of

Hawaii. He realizes that this is essential to his role as a v ita l advocate of Hawaii’s interests to the federal government and Hawaii’s senior senator in the world's most important legislative body.

Individual constituents benefit from assistance that

Dan's office provides w h e n problems arise with the federal government, whether it is an immigration, m ilitary or tax related issue. Dan realizes that such a problem can deeply affect in d ivid u a l lives, so he and his staff provide personal a t t e n t io n th r o u g h meetings, telephone calls and letters. Each y e a r, h u n d r e d s of persons receive this help.

Dan has personal representatives on each of the major

N e ig h b o r Islands -- Hawaii, Kauai, M a u i a n d Molokai -- to enable residents there to receive personal assistance and keep Dan informed of local concerns.

An average of 150 letters flow into his office in

Washington andH o n o lu lu every day, or nearly 200, 000 o v e r the past five years. Each lette r and its reply get Dan's a t t e n t io n . 2.

DAN - 2

He makes more than 20 trip s between the nation's Capitol

and Honolulu annually, to help maintain close communication w ith

the people of Hawaii through personal appearances and meetings.

In 1979 alone, he spoke at more than 40 public events -- large

and small -- and met with hundreds of visitors in his offices.

An important part of Dan's communications is his newsletters, mailed periodically to residents of Hawaii to bring them up-to-date

on his Senate activitie s, and news releases, issued to the news media and public o fficia ls.

Dan's longstanding policy has been to lis t his home and

office telephone numbers in the Honolulu and Maryland telephone

directories, so th a t he is readily accessible.

His capable staff assists State, county and private agencies

in obtaining federal grants and contracts which benefit the people

of Hawaii and the Islands' economy.

The competition for federal money is fierce. Although

Hawaii ranks only 40th in population, it consistently receives more federal money than many larger states, due to the hard work of its Congressional members. Last year, some $2. 5 b illio n was spent in Hawaii, and federal spending remains the single most

important part of the State economy.

Federal dollars appropriated by Congress are spent, for example,

on m ilitary and civilia n employee paychecks; research and

instruction at the University of Hawaii and East-West Center; planning and improvements of airports, roads and harbors; and helping the poor and aged through public assistance, Medicare and

social security. 3

DAN - 3

In the last five years, m ilitary expenditures in Hawaii have risen an average of 6.6 percent a year, while non-defense federal spending has escalated by an average of 15. 7 percent a y e a r.

Today's federal spending w ill have an important effect on the Hawaii of tomorrow. New alternative sources of energy -- geothermal, ocean thermal, solar and even from marine algae -- are being tested and tapped, aquaculture farmers receive financial assistance and benefit from federally-financed research, and commercial fishermen are aided by improved fishing techniques.

Federal dollars help Hawaii span the Pacific as a true bridge to Asia. The East-West Center trains future leaders of Asia, the

U niversity of Hawaii shares modern farming techniques, and the

U n ive rsity's Schools of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing provide special training for students from the Pacific Basin.

The most serious and complex problem facing our nation today continues to be inflation. Dan is working with other leaders of

Congress to reduce federal spending and improve productivity in the American economy.

Housing is probably more serious a problem in Hawaii than in any other state, as demonstrated by record-high home costs. This year, after several years of work by Hawaii's Congressional team, the federal government has agreed to provide special help to

Hawaii residents who wish to convert their leasehold land to fee simple, enabling thousands to realize their dreams of becoming real homeowners. The federal government also develops moderate- income housing and provides housing loans and subsidies to residents. DAN - 4

Education is extremely important to Hawaii, which receives

"impact aid" for the large federal and m ilitary population which u tilizes public schools and other programs. Dan has successfully fought against federal attempts to reduce this assistance, which this year totals $15.5 m illion.

He has also led resistance against federal efforts to elim inate the cost-of-living allowance provided to federal employees, based on the difference of living costs between Hawaii and

Washington, D. C.

Native Hawaiians, the most socially and economically troubled ethnic group in Hawaii, have received special federal attention through the efforts of Dan. Like other native Americans, they are eligible for job training, temporary federally-subsidized jobs, and grants to help small businesses.

Immigrants from the Philippines, Korea, Samoa and Indochina who make Hawaii the ir home must make major adjustments to life in

America. Because they need health and other special public assistance during this period, Dan has worked to ensure that Hawaii is compensated by the federal government for this added burden on public p ro g ra m s .

He has helped to lower the cost of health care, a major con tributor to inflation. Dan supports a national health insurance program to provide a ll Americans w ith adequate medical care, regardless of their ab ility to pay.

Dan has also spearheaded the increased use of health professionals -- registered nurses, nurse-midwives, psychiatric DAN - 5

nurses, social workers, psychologists and optometrists -- to make health services more widely available at reasonable costs.

Dan has other special responsibilities in the Senate. He is the Senate’s third-ranking leader, as Chairman of the Democratic

Caucus. In this leadership position, he helps formulate Senate policies, legislative agenda, and consults regularly with the

President on major issues.

Maritime affairs deeply concern Hawaii, as the only island state, but in a larger sense, they also seriously concern the United

States, which is an "island" nation far from most of its trading partners. As Chairman of the Merchant Marine and Tourism Subcommittee,

Dan has worked to improve the poor state of the American merchant fleet, which has sank from firs t in the world to tenth in the last three decades. In this capacity, Dan continues to work for legislation protecting Hawaii against shipping interruptions, a measure he has been able to pass in the Senate, but has been defeated in the House.

Tourism is another subject on which Dan is the Senate leader.

His subcommittee in 1978 completed an exhaustive five-year study of the nation's tourism industry, which found that federal efforts to promote travel are spread thinly among 100 different programs, w ith no coordination between them. He has led the fight in the last two years against Adm inistration attempts to elim inate U. S. Travel promotion offices abroad. Dan's b ill to establish a single federal planning agency for tourism to elim inate duplication and wasted e ffo rt has passed the Senate. 6

DAN - 6

He oversees and manages the nation's m u lti-b illio n dollar

foreign assistance program in the Senate. Balancing the nation's responsibility as the world's free world leader with concerns

about excessive spending is Dan's job.

He and other members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, which oversees the country's intelligence agencies and their budgets, work quietly in their sensitive but vita l tasks. During his chairmanship of the committee in 1976 and 1977, he began the work of drafting charters for the FBI and CIA, to govern their conduct.

Dan serves as a member of the Senate Select Committee on

Indian A ffairs, which handles legislation to help native American

Indians, Eskimos and Hawaiians -- groups in this nation whose past treatment by the federal government has been marred by abuse or n e g le c t.

On the following pages is a compilation of some of Dan's major accomplishments over the last five years. 1975

-- Under Dan's leadership, Congress provided funds for the federal monitoring of foreign investment in the United States. As a result of this legislation, foreign investment in Hawaii was surveyed by the Commerce Department and a report of its findings was completed in March 1980, the firs t in a series of sim ilar studies of other states.

-- The Navy was directed to study, w ithin one year, the fe a s ib ility of clearing Kahoolawe of unexploded ordnance and returning it to the State of Hawaii.

-- A change in the federal laws governing national cancer centers was authored by Dan, to allow federal funding of the construction of new centers. This enabled the construction of the Hawaii Cancer Center at a cost of $5 m illion.

-- C linical psychologists, for the firs t time, became eligible for reimbursement for their services to m ilitary retirees and dependents, under CHAMPUS. This allows greater u tiliza tio n of their services, without the requirement of a physician's recommendation or supervision.

-- Dissenting from other members of the Senate Watergate Com- m ittee, Senators Inouye and the late Senator Joseph Montoya supported public financing of elections as a way of reforming politics. This led to their sponsorship of a measure calling for public financing of Congressional campaigns, a proposal not yet adopted.

"An open, fa ir and honest campaign financing system must combine effective and tim ely public disclosure of the sources of campaign dollars, re a listic lim itations upon contributions and expenditures in campaigns and an efficient method for increasing citizen participation in the financing of campaigns, " they said in their dissent report.

-- Dan reintroduced legislation to protect Hawaii against shipping tie-ups of trade between the West Coast and Hawaii. In 1974, the Senate passed this measure but it failed in the House against strong labor opposition.

Several sim ilar proposals have been introduced by Dan in the Senate, but have been defeated in the House.

-- Funds were appropriated, as part of the m ilitary construction program for Hawaii, for the modernization of the Pearl Harbor Shipyard machine shop. 1976

-- Dan assumed the chairmanship of the newly established Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the firs t Asian-American to ever chair a fu ll committee in Congress. The committee is responsible for oversight of national intelligence agencies, such as the Central Intelligence Agency and FBI, and authorizing money to fund their operations. It was established in an attempt to correct past abuses by the intelligence community, while also ensuring effective intelligence operations.

-- The Senate held committee hearings in Hawaii, chaired by Dan, on his proposal to establish a Hawaiian Native Claims Settlement Commission to study the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaii monarchy and recommend redress for the wrongs committed by the federal government. The measure passed the fu ll Senate in 1977, but died in the House.

-- Dan led a major pressure campaign urging the Federal Com- munications Commission and communications companies to provide modern service to Hawaii. This led to FCC approval of Mailgram service to Hawaii effective in 1976.

-- President Ford signed into law a b ill introduced by Dan establishing the U. S. M etric Board to coordinate the nation's conversion to the m etric system of measurement. The U. S. was the only major industrial nation that had not adopted a metric conversion policy or not already m etric.

-- President Ford form ally rescinded Executive Order 9066 on the 34th anniversary of the order which detained and interned 120, 000 Japanese Americans during World War II. Dan is the leader in Congress of attempts to provide retirement credit to ex-internees for their forced internment, and to establish a presidential commission to study the possibility of redress for this wrong.

-- The National Cemetery of the P acific received a $2. 8 m illion appropriation, at the request of Dan, for the construction of a columbarium/mausoleum to increase the capacity of the Punchbowl c e m e te ry .

-- Neigbor Island airports increased their shares of airport development grants, under a m odification of the A irport Development Act of 1976 by Dan.

-- Hawaii sugar and pineapple producers benefited from a change in federal tax laws, which deletes the requirement for "crop method" accounting by farm corporations. This meant a savings of more than $25 m illion in deferred taxes for sugar and pineapple farmers. 1976 - Page two

-- M ilitary construction appropriations in Hawaii totalled $42. 5 m illion, $7. 4 m illion for Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard’s electrical shop modernization, $2 m illion for improvements to Tripler Army Medical Center, and $12. 8 m illion for a municipal sewer connection at Barbers Point Naval A ir Station.

-- Special health manpower development in the Trust Territory was authorized under the Health Professions Educational Assistance Act. Two years later, in 1978, the U. S. Public Health Service was instructed to recommend further methods of meeting the lack of health officers and doctors in the Islands.

-- Dan was a leading supporter of the Rice Production Act, which encouraged the rice industry by establishing a price support system sim ilar to that of other grains, removing restrictions on rice production by new farmers, and boosting a rice research program.

-- Dan led the Senate opposition against an Adm inistration proposal to elim inate tax deductions for business conventions held in foreign countries, because of the serious impact that reciprocal actions by foreign countries would have on the American vis ito r in d u s t r y . 1977

-- Sugar price subsidy payments at the rate of 13.5¢ per pound for the 1977 and 1978 crops, which amounted to $57 m illion for Hawaii sugar growers, was obtained by Dan through a m odification of the de la Garza amendment.

Dan also led a delegation of 13 senators in an A pril meeting with President Carter, to discuss the problems of the domestic sugar industry, with the influx of foreign-produced sugar since the expiration of the Sugar Act. The meeting led to Administration agreement to increase its support of the sugar industry.

-- The Agriculture Department was ordered to study Hawaii's fru it fly problem, which attacks more than 150 species of fru its and vegetables. This resulted in several studies at the University of Hawaii into the fe a sib ility of eradicating the pest and research- ing the possible production of male-only flie s through genetic manipulation.

-- Native Hawaiians became e lig ib le for special Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) programs fo r unemployed youth and assistance in job training and placement. It also extended federal subsidies to temporary jobs in private business. This resulted in an estimated $2. 5 m illio n program for native Hawaiians, with 800 persons placed in temporary jobs or training.

-- The Clean Water Act was amended, through the work of Dan, to allow an exemption for Hawaii and the Pacific Islands from secondary sewage treatment requirements. This meant an estimated savings of $15 m illion in construction and $500, 000 per year in operating costs. S cientific studies show that secondary sewage treatment is not necessary for the Pacific region, due to natural ocean currents and chemistry.

-- C linical psychologists and psychiatric nurses became eligible fo r independent reimbursement under the CHAMPUS program.

-- The USS ARIZONA Memorial shoreside fa c ility received an increased authorization to meet the estimated cost of the project, which provides a new dock, v is ito r center, museum, theatres and r e s tr o o m s .

-- Dan sponsored an increase of$ 7.5 m illion for federal alcoholism research, because of its growing problem nationally among teenagers, in particular.

-- The University of Hawaii's School of Medicine received a $72,000 increase, to $194,000, f o r it s special program of providing one y e a r's remedial study for premedical students from educationally disadvantaged areas, including the Pacific Islands. 1977 - Page Two

-- Senior citizens benefited from a change in the Social Security law, sponsored by Dan, which ensures that marriage does not reduce e lig ib ility for benefits.

-- The Hawaii leprosy program received a $200, 000 increase, to $1. 4 m illion, through the work of Dan. Identical increases were obtained the next two years, bringing the federal subsidy to $1. 8 m illion, or 78 percent of the program cost. In years 1961-1977, the federal share had remained at $1.2 m illion, despite escalating costs of housing, treatment and operations.

There are 130 patients in the two State fa cilitie s, at Kalaupapa and Leahi Hospital, plus 328 active outpatient cases being treated for leprosy, a problem with the increase in foreign immigrants.

-- M ilitary construction appropriations in Hawaii totaled $54. 9 m illion, including a $13. 4 m illion fuel storage fa c ility at Pearl Harbor Naval Supply Center.

-- Dan held private meetings w ith President Carter and Pentagon o fficia ls, which resulted in major changes in m ilitary use of K a h o o la w e .

The Navy announced plans to elim inate use of live ordnance, allowed researchers to complete the ir survey of Kahoolawe's h istorically important sites, and opened discussions with other m ilitary services on alternative sites for live a rtille ry practice.

-- Dan chaired hearings in Honolulu on his Senate b ill to end the classification of Hawaii as an international point for communications purposes, which prevented treatment of Hawaii as an equal state, and meant fewer services and higher rates. The measure passed the Senate, but failed in the House.

-- As Chairman of the Foreign Operations Appropriations Sub- committee, Dan led Senate discussion of excessive pay and privileges to high-ranking officials in international financial institutions such as the World Bank. The Senate passed a measure to cut their pay, which failed in the House, but resulted in increased scrutiny and closer attention to this problem.

-- Dan introduced a sweeping public disclosure b ill of federal agency studies and reports. It would require public disclosure of consultants or personnel who prepare government documents, film s or recordings under federal contract, plus disclosure of contract amounts, and compensation levels of principal experts and con- s u lt a n t s . 1978

-- Several federally-financed projects totaling $1. 25 m illion, to develop Hawaii's fishing industry were approved, at the urging of Hawaii's Congressional delegation. These consisted of cold storage fa c ilitie s at Pokai Bay and Waianae Boat Harbor in Leeward Oahu, and at Port Allen on Kauai. Another project, approved in 1979, w ill build a flash-freezer for sashimi in Hilo, using a newly developed technique for possible export of raw fish to Japan.

A live baitfish experimentation fa c ility on Molokai was approved, at a cost of $617,000 to meet the tuna industry's lack o f b a i t .

The P acific Tuna Development Foundation, consisting of representatives from Hawaii and the Pacific te rrito rie s, received $2. 4 m illion in funding. One of its research projects was a highly successful one setting fish aggregation bouys off Island w a te r s .

Dan continues to work towards Navy approval of use of its Midway Island fa c ility by fishing vessels for fueling and re- s u p p ly in g .

-- Congress established a national park at Kaloko-Honokohau, north of Kona, believed to be a sacred site for Hawaiian royalty and many historic artifacts. In 1979, under Dan's leadership, $7 m illion was appropriated to begin the purchase of land for this park and the National Park Service began the establishment of a citizen's advisory commission to implement "living cultural museum" programs.

Also, the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park received a $562, 000 appropriation for land expansion.

-- Dan traveled to the Philippines for private meetings with President Marcos, to assist in U .S. negotiations for m ilitary bases, at the personal request of President Carter. This October 1978 mission enabled the stalled talks to resume, leading to the signing of an agreement allowing American use of Subic Bay and Clark Air Force Base u n til at least 1991. These bases are v ita l to American m ilitary units throughout Asia, and the agreement has been called a major achievement of the Carter Adm inistration.

-- Federal funds were appropriated for several major water projects in Hawaii, with the federal government paying 90 percent o f th e cost:

$5.5 m illion to begin construction of the Barbers Point Deep- water Harbor, with an eventual federal cost o f $42 m illion;

$2.5 m illion for dredging to deepen the Honolulu Harbor, enabling largervessels access; 1978 - Page Two

$230, 000 for planning of the Kahoma Stream F lo o d Control project on Maui, a project later credited with possibly saving many lives during recent heavy flooding in Hawaii;

Planning for small boat harbors at Kikiaola on Kauai and Maalaea on Maui.

-- Dan assisted in the "Christmas tree" case before the Federal Maritime Commission, by helping the State obtain extra time to file objections to Matson's proposal to end refrigerated shipment of trees to Hawaii. The FMC decision in favor of the State enabled the continued availability of Northwest trees, in fresh condition, in H a w a ii.

-- The Defense Department was prohibited from implementing the Competitive Rate Program for shipping m ilita ry household goods to and from Hawaii, for one year. The CRP proposal would have restricted the contract award to the lowest bidder, ending the practice of allowing other firms to match the winning bid.

This prohibition was extended an additional year in 1979.

-- Biofeedback therapy became reimbursable in the CHAMPUS program, in an agreement between the Defense Department and the Biofeedback Society of America, under legislation obtained by Dan. Biofeedback is a relatively new technique of treating certain problems, such as migraine headaches, through conscious control of body functions.

-- Dan introduced the Native Hawaiian Education Act, which would establish federal formula grants to schools based on Hawaiian enrollment, college scholarships, adult education and educational planning projects. It would authorize $16. 5 m illion the firs t year and $63. 6 m illion the following year.

The measure passed the Senate but died in the House. In 1979 Dan reintroduced the b ill and chaired hearings on it in Hawaii. It again passed the Senate and remains in the House.

-- Native Hawaiians were included in the Native American Religious Freedom Act, signed into law, which makes it the policy of the federal government to protect and preserve the right of native Americans to v is it religious sites and hold worship services. The law requires federal agencies to consult with religious leaders to ensure that their policies protect these rights.

-- Hawaii received $43. 8 m illion in m ilitary construction appropriations. More than half went to the Navy for housing renovation at Kaneohe Marine Corps A ir Station and Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard improvements. Army funds were spent for the renovation of Schofield Barracks housing and in sta lla tion of sewage treatment facilities. 1978 - Page Three

-- Japanese Americans interned during World War II who later became federal employees became eligible for c iv il service retirement credit for the time spent in the camps. The measure by Dan affects from 500 to 1, 000 persons at an estimated cost of $400, 000 to $ 8 0 0 , 000.

E arlier actions, also sponsored by Dan, provided credit to those whose federal careers were interrupted and social security credit for those privately employed.

-- Dan sponsored legislation which transfers a 44-acre Navy land parcel next to Leeward Community College to the State, at a fa ir market price, with the funds paying for replacement fuel storage fa cilitie s for the Navy. The land was sought by the State for higher educational fa cilitie s.

Previously, these elderly women had to choose between a 50 percent cut in their old benefits or the new husband's benefits. This measure had been introduced by Dan.

--The Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific, in Liliha, received $2. 6 m illion to enlarge the center and enable it to expand its services to the severely handicapped in the Pacific territorie s.

-- President Carter signed into law a b ill by Dan which requires the Federal Maritime Commission to speed up its decision-making process for rate applications by ocean carriers and provides refunds to shippers when rate charges are later rules excessive. Due to its large backlog of cases, the average rate case took 1-1/2 years to c o m p le te .

-- Another maritime b ill signed into law, also proposed by Dan, increases the Federal Maritime Commission's powers to crack down on ille g a l rebating by foreign shipping lines. Rate-cutting through such rebates is a major reason for the decline of the American merchant marine, at the expense of foreign government- supported lines, such as the Soviet fleet.

Since the enactment of this law, the FMC successfully prosecuted 20 anti-rebating violations against foreign carriers, yielding $8. 5 m illion in c iv il penalties. 1978 - Page Four

-- An aquaculture b ill, which would establish a national policy in this fie ld and provide financial assistance to ventures, was introduced by Dan and passed by Congress, but vetoed by President Carter because of its expense. Financial help would have been provided through grants, demonstration projects, loan guarantees and high-risk insurance.

Despite his- veto, the President promised to increase federal attention to aquaculture, and established a White House panel consisting of representatives from 13 federal agencies to study aquaculture. This is the firs t federal effort to set a coordinated national policy fo r aquaculture.

-- Dan and Sparky established a system of m erit selection of federal judges and U. S. attorney in Hawaii, through an appointed commission to screen and recommend the best candidates for vacancies. This is intended to remove p o litica l- considerations from federal jud icia l appointments.

The commission’s firs t duty was to recommend candidates for the vacancy created by the-death of Judge Dick Yin Wong.

-- The Farmers Home Adm inistration opened an office in Hilo to administer its loan program for Hawaii and the P acific. Its staff of 50 administers about $24 m illion in loans, mostly for low- and moderate-income housing in rural areas. This new office ended Hawaii’s inclusion in a regional office operated in California.

-- The A irline Deregulation Act of 1978protectsthe interests of Hawaii through three special provisions obtained through the work of Dan:

A ir passenger service to small Hawaii communities is expressly guaranteed for 10 years, through federal subsidies to air carriers, if necessary, to help fund these less profitable routes.

Hawaii is exempted from the provisions of automatic market entry, which means a ir carriers cannot autom atically expand tonew routes at the expense of smaller communities.

Hawaii's commuter a irlines became eligib le for 90 percent federal loans for new aircraft purchases.

-- Dan began work on obtaining, approval fo r a commission consisting o f federal, state and county officia ls to jo in tly plan future use of federal lands in Hawaii (an estimated 400, 000 acres, or about 12 percent). 1979

Welcome to the Second Round of our Delphi survey of the Future of Hawaii & the

World as related to Nuclear Warfare. The reverse of this letter summarizes the

in it ia l responses to the F irs t Round Questionaire. The Second Round Questionaire

is enclosed. It's not too late to contribute your judgements. Just join in the

second round. Of course, i f you can spare time, feel free to complete the f ir s t

round questionaire before reading other participants' replies, at least Questions 1 & 6 of Anyone who completes^either the firs t or second survey is a participant. Each

participant will receive the second summary & the third survey, hopefully in early

July. The li s t of participants (minus those who wish to remain anonymous) w ill be included with that round. The fin a l summary/ report should be completed during

August and copies will be mailed/available to all participants. Of course, all

individual responses w ill remain confidential.

MHA/H OFFICERS

President: Leland Chang Treasurer: Jonathan Raymond 1st Vice P resid en t: Pam Huch Kekumano Delegates-At-Large: 2nd Vice President: Mary Protheroe Helen Nagtalori-Miller S e c re ta r y : Joanne Coon James Lomont I. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) (basic Mental Health Authorization Act)

The Mental Health Systems Act (P. L. 96-398) (signed this month) (S.1177). T itle IV creates a new Associate Director for Minority Concerns that w ill develop and coordinate policies for treatment, training and research. This is your b ill, S. 925. DKI, G il Tanabe (Dept. of Psychology), Denis MeeLee (Chief, Division of Mental Health) and Senator Matsunaga testified before Senator Kennedy on June 11, 1979. Supported by a ll the professional associations and a ll m inority spokes- men.

Appropriations B ill - Labor-HEW (Health & Human Services)

FY 80 - (S. Rpt. 96-247) specific report languages directing NIMH to increase its support for m inority mental health training and develop a report to the committee on its future plans in this area (Completed).

FY 80 Supplemental-(S.Rpt. 96-829) Express language directing NIMH to again increase its commitment to the M inority Fellowship Program, with p rio rity to graduate, and not post-graduate,.studies. (Supported by all disciplines).

FY 81 - (E x p e c t to ) d ir e c t NIMH to in c re a s e fu n d in g f o r the M inority Fellowship Program; increase its financial commitment to the "Most in Need" program that specializes in child mental health programs and also to increase its efforts to address child abuse programs for immigrants/refugees.

I I . CHAMPUS - Department of Defense

Total health budget $500 m illion; 8.6 m illion dependents of active-duty personnel (approximately 70, 000 in Hawaii eligible). Mental Health represents 16.2% of budget.

FY 76 - provided for the direct reimbursement of clinical psychologists. Because DoD continued to object, this had to be reemphasized in the FY 78 b ill by including the phrase "psychologically necessary" . Presently, the psychologists in Hawaii are among the top "b ille rs” nationwide.

FY 78 - Encouraged direct reimbursement of biofeedback services which although not yet authorized, w ill be this year. Also began process for the two Peer Review efforts of the psychological and psychiatric professions. CHAMPUS - Department of Defense continued - Page Two

FY 80 - After getting language through the Senate from FY 78 on, conferees agreed to authorize a special experimental project whereby nationwide psychiatric nurses w ill be directly reimbursed as of May 1, 1980. To date, only 10 billin g s have been submitted by nurse practitioners, and none by psychiatric nurses.

FY 81 (Expect to) continue the psychiatric nurse study and include clinical social workers for the firs t tim e .

PHYSICIANS: At the informal request of the American Psychiatric Association, had language included in FY 80 that would lim it billings for mental health services by physicians only to those who are actually trained in psychiatry. However, afte r the GAO audited CHAMPUS file s at DKI request, this turned out to be a minor issue (only 4.3% of the total mental health services billed were by such non-trained physicians and of these, most were for less than one month.

PROBLEMS AHEAD: Evidence has come to our attendion that both the Residential Treatment Center programs and the use of inpatient psychiatric care are being abused. Accordingly, in FY 81 we w ill be addressing the facts that:

RTC: the average length of stay ranges from 13|to 252 days and there does not seem to be any program matic, or clinical differences in the patients or centers involved. If the average length of stay could have been reduced to that of the one with the lowest average cost of care could have been reduced last year by $819,000.

In-Pt: NIMH figures state that the average length of inpatient stay ranges from 16 to 26 days at community mental health centers or state and county hospitals, yet under CHAMPUS the average length of stay at private fa cilitie s is 105 days, even though CHAMPUS only pays for acute and ongoing care.

Veterans Adm inistration: (100,000 in Hawaii)

FY 80 & FY 81 - Appropriations b ill directed the VA to restore nearly $800,000 of psychology training funds which would have represented a 21% reduction even though the VA has increased its medical residency fund by 165% since 1972 and a ll evidence indicated that there has been an ever-increasing need of mental health specialists w ithin the VA. (Psychology $4 m illion: M.D. $151 m illion ). Veterans Administration - continued Page Three

Adm inistratively, the VA has agreed to develop a new fa cility on the Tripler grounds that w ill house a special psychiatric care unit (expected FY 82). I fu lly expect that we w ill have in the near future a major VA mental health initiative -- especially for our aging veteran population.

Social Security Act - Medicare

In 1974 DKI introduced his firs t b ill on behalf of both the Psychological Profession and the Nursing Profession for direct reimbursement under Medicare (with its implications for National Health Insurance); in 1976, the firs t b ill was introduced on behalf of Social Workers.

In August 1978, hearings were held by the Senate Finance Committee for the firs t time in 7 years on the mental health benefit package of the Social Security Act. In essence, the non-physician providers a ll supported each other, the psychiatrists claimed that only they could diagnose and treat mental illness. As a direct result of these hearings, discussions were held with representatives of the professional disciplines in an effort to get a b ill that would address the many questions asked at the hearings. (During this process psychologists were directly reimbursed in the State of Colorado, at your request, to obtain cost-benefit inform ation).

In August 1980, S. 3029 was introduced by Senator Matsunaga (DKI cosponsor) to establish a special presidential commission to determine what mental health services would be safe, effective and appropriate (FDA model). The commission would be m ulti-disciplinary with both clinicians and researchers. There would be $20 m illion a year of Social Security Trust Fund money to conduct research desired, and a ll four disciplines would for the firs t time be directly reimbursed in "closed systems" such as HMOs, Kaiser, and outpatient hospital clinics (Straub). The Commission would make specific recommendations fo r the status of community mental health centers within a specified time period. The b ill has the strong support of the American Psychological Association, Social Workers, Nursing Profession, but NOT the psychiatrists. The Mental Health Association is ambivalent. They generally like the idea of a presidential panel, of only paying for services that work, but they are irritated that they were not involved in the planning sessions and are not represented on the panel. Hearings were scheduled earlier this year, but cancelled. The Mental Health Association was not invited to testify the firs t day, but were assured that they would be on the second day. The Office of Technology Assessment Social Security Act - Medicare continued Page Four

favors the b ill. The Administration for "turf" reasons does not. This b ill has received a lot of press (WASHINGTON POST). It is presently being considered as part of the Budget Reconciliation Act and could become public law this session, but I do not expect so.

Hawaii Uniquenesses

Immigrants/Refugees:

Hawaii has the highest percentage of refugees per capita of any state. In P. L. 95-626, the Health Services and Centers Amendments, directed the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct a special study of the unique Primary Health Care Needs of Immigrants. A national conference was held in Dallas, Texas in June 1979 with the Director of the State of Hawaii's Department of Health, Senator Pat Saiki, Hawaii Medical Association, Kaiser, and the Health Planning Agency, participating. The recommendations to the Congress were very clear: firs t, immigrants do indeed have many truly unique needs, including a number of mental health and psycho-social needs; and, second, the federal government has a special responsibility to assist those areas of "high immigrant concentration" since it is federal immigration policy that determines their entry.

Following up, DKI had included in S.Rpt. 9 6 -9 3 6 , the Health Professions Training and D istribution Act, specific language referring to this study and directing the Secretary to "include consideration of this unique population in the designation of health manpower shortage areas under §332 of the Public Health Service A ct. " Hawaii was expressly cited as one such high impact area. This w ill open the door for a number of special federal health programs, including educational opportunities for those who desire to attend any of the health professions schools to receive special scholarships. Incidentally, psychology was also included in this Act for the firs t time at DKI's request.

The Primary Health Care Report was also cited in the Mental Health Systems Act directing the Associate Director of M inority Concerns to give special attention to refugees. During the FY 81 Appropriations B ill, the Report w ill also be referred to and NIMH directed to increase its commitment to immigrant mental health problems. Hawaii Uniquenesses continued Page Five

Native Hawaiians:

John DeLuca, head of the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, was in Hawaii last week and at DKI's request, met with a number of providers (who w ill be in the audience). He has assured DKI of his strong personal commitment to developing special alcoholism programs for native Hawaiians, and native American Pacific Islanders in particular, as directed in S.Rpt. 96-103, the Alcohol Authorization Act. Plans are presently underway to transfer planning funds to the Office of Native American Affairs for a planning grant.

NIMH in 1979 transferred at DKI's request, $50,000 to the Office of native American Programs, in order to start the Most in Need project on Molokai. This experimental project whose purpose is to identify youth from the ages 12 to 14 who have mental health problems and then to engage them with appropriate community resources is a model for our Indian programs. By next year, I also expect that an additional $200,000 w ill be transfered to Alu Like for another experimental mental health program, this time focusing upon Hawaiian adults.

M i l i t a r y

M o ra le :

Non-physician provider morale: Several years ago, 100%, of the A ir Force psychologists signed a petition complaining that they were not being accorded professional status within the service. Since then, DKI has been working with the DoD to modify this, and has now expanded his efforts to include professional nurses. DoD has been directed to provide a report on this issue. The American Psychological Association and the American Nurses' Association have been actively supporting this particular initiative.

Child Abuse:

During its deliberations on the DoD's FY 80 Appropriations B ill, it came to the committee's attention that there is to be an especially high incidence of child and spouse abuse in areas of high m ilitary family concentration. Since October 1979, there have been several high level planning meetings held among the m ilitary, the GAO, and the civilian agencies in Hawaii. M ilitary - Child Abuse continued Page Six

Appropriations B ill

FY 80 - Report language directed the GAO to conduct an in-depth review of m ilitary child advocacy programs in Hawaii. The Department of Defense was also requested to provide a report about progress in child abuse programs in time for the FY 81 Appropriations B ill.

There has been a planning meeting involving State policy- makers (April 1980) and at DKI's request, a m ilitary coordinator, Peter McNelis, has been appointed.

On October 2, 1980, the GAO representative reported that m ilita ry child advocacy programs remained unchanged ("victim s of neglect") and concluded: "Without money and staff, the programs w ill never receive attention except on a crisis basis." Currently no funds or staff are specifically allocated for the child advocacy effort. The GAO representative stated that the State has coordination problems with different agencies (OCY and DSSH) wanting to control the child abuse program. He also noted that a child abuse effort could be mounted without additional funds if CINCPAC officials regarded it as a high priority.

Later this month, Dr. Peter Flynn, Health Affairs Officer for the DoD w ill be in Hawaii, a tDKI request, to develop a special Hawaiian initiative. Also a DoD tri-service directive on child and spouse abuse is imminent and Hawaii w ill soon be assured a m ilita ry community resource center.

FY 81 - The committee w ill include an additional $3 m illion expressly for the purpose of encouraging the DoD to initiate several pilot projects in order to explore effective ways of addressing child abuse in the m ilitary. Military - Tourism continued Page Seven

Tourism;

As Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Tourism, I am considering conducting a series of hearings next session to explore the relationship between leisure- time activities and a broad range of public health/ mental health issues. Informal discussions have already been held with the American Psychological Association, the Institute of Medicine, and theAdministration for Children, Youth and Family. All have unequivocally been most enthusiastic and predict that we w ill be forging a truly new perspective for the role of the federal government in the area of fam ily care.

At the Hawaii Mental Health Association's request, DKI had the Immigration Form modified to ensure that people would not be excluded merely because they had once received psychotherapy. SACRED HEARTS ACADEMY

But this may be changed in the near future, if plans are successful to bring three ships into service between the Islands and the West Coast.

But the approval of the C E T A measure is one indication that Congress has not ignored the plight of the Hawaiian people. ” Approval next year is hoped for the Native Hawaiian Education Assistance Act, which would establish grants for schools with high numbers of Hawaiian students, college fellowships and adult education programs to combat illiteracy and unemployment. The bill was approved by the Senate, but time ran out before possible House action.

The councilmen were part of a special team working for support approximately another 150, 000 of sugar legislation. See sugar article on back page. PAGE TWO/October 1978 Congress Votes Island Park Congress has approved the creation of a national park at Kaloko-Honokohau, believed to be the burial sites of Kamehameha the Great and other Hawaiian royalty. The Big Island park south of Kona would preserve more than 200 important Hawaiian historic and archaeological sites such as fishponds, temples and burial grounds. The park could implement many suggestions of the Honokohau Study Advisory Commission, by creating a “ living museum” in which native

Immigrants from Southeast Asia have been the most recent large group of people to migrate to Hawaii, joining waves of earlier groups who settled in the Islands. Alien residents now comprise about eight percent of the State population, the largest percentage of any state. Like the groups before them, new immigrants come to America in search of a better life and are usually conscientious, hardworking people. But the immigrants have brought with them a number of health problems because of the usually poor health care in their home countries. Asian and American Samoan immigrants suffer from more leprosy, tuberculosis, childhood diseases, mental health and congenital malformation problems than any Honorary Easter Seal Society Chairman Senator INOUYE celebrates a pledge to the Society during its other ethnic groups, according-to a fundraising telethon in Honolulu last April.

September 1, 1979

Dear Friends:

Over the past few months, many o f you have taken the time to share your concerns with me about the major issues facing our country. I would like to provide you with this update on the legislation which was passed during the first quarter o f the 96th Congress.

Every effort has been made to respond to the pressing concerns o f the American people. Two o f the most ambitious goals o f the 96th Congress are the development o f a comprehensive national energy program and the establishment o f a sound fiscal policy to bolster our country’s sagging economy. I also recognize that the people o f Hawaii are especially interested in upcoming sugar legislation and the plight o f the Indochinese refugees.

Will America have enough energy for the future? Energy self-sufficiency has become a household word in recent months. The House has already approved several o f the key elements of President Carter’s energy program: a windfall profits tax, mass transit grants and aid to low income groups. Extensive legislation was passed by the House which provides fo r a combined effort by government and private industry to produce 2 million barrels o f synthetic fuel by 1980. Wisely, the House reconciled competing parochial and regional interests to give the President the authority to ration gas should a shortage o f 20 percent o f available gas supplies last for more than 20 days. Con- gress, however, will retain the power to veto any plan which it finds unacceptable.

What can be done at the federal level to combat inflation? The rising inflation rate continues to be a matter o fconcern to Members o f Congress and a constant reminder to the American consumer. I am happy to report that the first budget resolution, which sets government spending targets for fiscal year 1980, included the lowest projected federal deficit in six years. Congress has also voted to extend the authority o f the Council on Wage and Price Stability. In addition, a new international trade agreement has been reached by the 96th Congress. The purpose o f this legislation is to effec- tively strengthen the buying power o f the dollar overseas and steadily decrease this country’s trade deficit. American consumers will pay less fo r imported products. The gradual reduction o f our dependence upon foreign oil will also aid our economy in the months ahead.

Can we count on support for our sugar industry in Hawaii? The Sugar Stabilization Act o f 1979 will come to the floor o f the House this month. The bill is presently opposed by consumer and labor groups. As it stands now, this legislation calls fo r a market price o f 15.8 cents per pound with a one- half cent payment fo r the 1979 sugar crop. This one-half cent payment, however, contains a limita tion of $50, 000 per producer. Without the limitation, Hawaii growers would receive $10 million as compared to slightly over $1 million with it. It is unfair to inflict this kind o f competitive disadvan- tage on the Hawaii sugar industry. Unless this limitation clause is removed, I will not vote for this bill. However, I support the ratification o f the International Sugar Agreement and expanded executive authority to boost sugar prices.

How can we help the Indochinese “boat people” ? While serving on a Congressional delegation appointed by Speaker Thomas P. “ Tip” O ’Neill, I was able to get a firsthand view o f the conditions in the refugee camps. This experience convinced me that the efforts o f all humane countries must be concentrated on relief for these people. The United States has offered to increase its contributions to United Nations’ refugee programs and to send highly qualified Peace Corps volunteers to refugee camps. Hawaii can be proud o f her role in the resettlement effort. I have received assurances from Ambassador Dick Clark, U. S. Coordinator fo r Refugee Affairs, that federal funding will continue to be provided to our State for education and social service programs for these resettled refugees.

On the back o f this letter is a list o f some o f the major accomplishments o f the 96th Congress to date. Please do not hesitate to make your views known to me. I am here to represent you! SUMMARY OF MAJOR LEGISLATION FIRST SESSION OF 96th CONGRESS

Here is a summary o f the major legislation which the House has passed thus fa r in the 96th C o n- gress. Each o f the bills listed below received my fu ll endorsement.

E M E R G E N C Y EN ER G Y CONSERVATION A C T OF 1979 (S. 1030) — This bill will give the President authority for a standby gasoline rationing plan. It will also provide for the development of new federal and state diesel fuel conservation programs.

FIRST BU D G ET RESOLUTION 1980 (H. CO N . RES. 107) — Congress has taken direct action to reduce inflation by using fiscal restraint in determining the size of the federal budget. The first budget resolution included the lowest projected federal deficit in six years with a spending target of $532 billion.

EXTENSION OF COUNCIL ON WAGE AND PRICE STABILITY ACT (H. R. 2283) — The Council on Wage and Price Stability has been extended for one year from September 30, 1979 through September 30, 1980. Funding authorized for 1980 is $8. 5 million. The Council carries out the Administration’s anti-inflation policies.

S M A LL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PRO GRAM S (S. 918) — This bill authorizes $1. 6 billion in fiscal year 1981 and $1. 8 billion in fiscal year 1982 for small business programs. It also continues low interest rates on loans to homeowners for natural disasters occurring between 1978 and 1982.

D E P A R TM E N T OF ED U CATIO N ORGANIZATION A C T (S. 210) — A separate Cabinet-level Department of Education will be created to end the fragmentation of educational programs in this country.

V ETER A N S ’ H E A L T H C A R E A M EN D M EN TS OF 1979 (S. 7) — A readjustment counseling program and other related mental health services for Vietnam veterans will be established. The program includes treatment for those suffering from alcohol and drug abuse disabilities and a five- year pilot program for preventative health care for veterans with service-connected disabilities.

NURSE TRAINING A C T A M EN D M EN TS OF 1979 (S. 230) — This bill authorizes $103 million in fiscal year 1980 for nurse training, loans, grants and scholarships for one-year programs under this Act.

P A N A M A C A N A L A C T OF 1979 (H.R. 111) — The provisions of this bill will put the canal treaties into effect on October 1, 1979. The U .S. will gradually turn over the operation of the canal to Panama by the year 2000.

COAST GUARD HIGH SEAS DRUG LAW ENFORCEMENT (H. R. 2538) — This legislation prohibits acts of illicit trafficking of controlled substances on the high seas in order to assist Coast Guard efforts to enforce domestic drug laws.

GREGG:

The H ilo Democratic Party Campaign Headquarters is preparing a tabloid on Democrats running for office. This tabloid is to be inserted in the Hawaii Herald Tribune (and possibly the West Hawaii Today) the week before the September 21st Prim ary.

Fred Trotter has OK'd DKI's participation in the insert. Each candidate is allotted a ¼ page (assessment is $250 per participating candidate).

¼ of a page on an insert (a la Sears) is approximately 5 3/4 by 7 1/4.

Subject matter is le ft up to the candidates. The second page of this telecopied message is my draft. A picture of the Senator should appear on the upper right- hand corner. Due to the space lim itations, I thought it would be too d ifficu lt on the eyes to have a fu ll message. I thought this would at least be readable.

I don't believe the Senator is going to have much of an opportunity to campaign on the Big Island before the Primary. I have called Hilo to ask if it would be possible for the Senator to buy a fu ll page and that way be able to give a more personal statement or message. I w ill ca ll you as soon as I have that inform ation.

Could you look this over and give me your opinion? Deadline for submission of m aterial is August 7th, by the way. For some reason, the Hilo people mailed the info to the Senator's home address and we only got the letter and details this morning.

I f I am reelected to the U . S. Senate, I would hope to be able to continue to work toward the resolution of the problems demanding the c r i t ic a l attention of government, problems which are numerous and cannot be adequately discussed i n a few hundred words. Let me try, however, to briefly express my own sense of our priorities.

Of paramount concern to each o f us i s the state of our economy. Double-digit i n f la - tion Is clearly public enemy number one. Admittedly, two of the primary causes, the high price of oi l in the i nternational marketplace and the worldwide scarcity of food resulting from natural disasters, are beyond our country's direct control. S till, we ln the Congress can, and should, do much more to m itigate the i mpact of continuing price ri ses on our people. This i ncludes enacting public employment programs in areas of persistent excessive unemployment and lowering the interest rates to prevent the current stagflation from becoming a ruinous depresalon here at home. It also Includes the reduction of certain government expendi tu res--fo r example. ln the deployment of U. S. troops in Europe and i n foreign military assistance. If detente and improved relations with nations behind the i ron or bamboo curtains have any legitimacy, then some reduction i n defense outlays should be possible without any threat to our national security.

As Chairman for the Foreign Commerce and Tourism Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Commerce, and as Chairman for the Foreign Operations Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, I believe that I w ill be able to provide some i nfluence on our governmental actions in these c r i t ic a l areas.

Our other most Important need i s the restoration of our people's fa ith in the honesty and the Integrity of our government at all levels. Campaign finance reform, public disclosure of the personal finances of office-seekers and offlce-holders, and candor and openness i n government at all levels can help to restore that faith. We in politics must set a good example. For unless we have creditabi l i y, we cannot provide the leadership essential to the resolution o f our problems i n a ra p id ly changing world.

I hope that this material proves useful to your school project. If I may be of further assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am always happy to be of service. Mahalo nui loa for your kind request.

Aloha,

SENATOR DANIEL K. INOUYE P. O. Box 211

Re-Election Campaign Committee Honolulu, Hawaii 96810 839 If I am reelected to the U. S. Senate, I w ill represent your interests and the interests of the nation to the best of my ability. It is d ifficu lt to put in a few hundred words my p o litica l positions and platform. Let me try, however, to briefly express my own sense of our p riorities.

Of paramount concern to me is the state of the economy. Our heavy reliance on o il, with its continuously escalating price, has taken its to ll on our economy. Faced with the twin scourges of inflation and recession - the effects of which are palpably clear on the Big Island, as in every city and town in the United States - we, as a nation, must move away from our dependence on foreign o il and develop alternate sources of energy. The Carter Adm inistration has taken a major step in this direction. I support this step and w ill continue to support it in the future.

Our federal expenditures need to be reduced. Government waste must be quickly elim inated; the effectiveness of government programs must be constantly re-assessed. As Congressional leaders and the President attempt to reduce the budget, a greater sense of what is essential to our national well-being is required of elected representative and private citizen alike. During past elections for both state and federal

offices, you have generously shared your trust

with me. For this I am extremely grateful.

I hope I have adequately lived up to your

expectations.

My firs t concern has always been Hawaii - our

special needs and our goals. This concern has

determined the legislation I have introduced and

the committees I have served on in the United

States Senate. It has guided my views on

national and international issues.

I seek to stay as closely attuned to your needs

and concerns as possible. I am here at home some

twenty times each year to report and to listen.

Hopefully, we can continue to keep in close touch.

My strength is drawn from you, the people of Hawaii.

I ask once again for the opportunity to continue to

serve you in Washington as your United States Senator.

21 news from Senator DANIEL K. INOUYE

SPEECH BY SENATOR DANIEL K. INOUYE topic: Hawaii State Democratic Convention Sheraton-Waikik i, Honolulu, Hawaii date: May 31, 1980 release date: May 31, 1980

I am glad to be back home with you today.

My friends, make no mistake about it, 1980 is a tough year to be a Democrat. It is a tough year because we have been faced with home of the most d iffic u lt decisions th a t we have ever had to face as a party.

The Democratic Party has long had two principle domestic goals. First, we have sought to provide social justice for a ll of our citizens. Democrats have led th e way in ensuring civil rights for m inorities, women and the aging. We have supported a strong program of federal aid to education in order to provide a ll citizens with the opportunity to determine their own future. And we have bu ilt strong health programs--programs capable of bringing quality care to people and to areas where such care has been unavailable, and capable o f combatting diseases which have ravaged our citizens for years. It is a record which includes many more programs and a record of which we can be ju stifiab ly proud.

We have at the same time committed ourselves to programs designed to achieve economic justice. Democrats have strongly supported programs which provide the necessities of life to those who have been le ft out of our nation's prosperity. We have supported programs designed to provide training and employment to the unemployed and the underemployed. And we have worked to ensure that the doors to economic m obility remain open. - 2 -

But 1980 has presented Democrats with an almost impossible situation. The destructive effects of inflation have demanded a strong response by a Democratic Congress and a Democratic Administration. After a careful review of the alternatives, we decided that producing a balanced budget was the most important firs t step we could take in a right to restore this nation’s economic health.

But, like many measures that are designed to restore health, the cure is not pleasant--the medicine is distasteful. In this case, however, we have very little choice.

We as Democrats must either face these d ifficu lt decisions or surrender the/leadership of this country.

Congress and the President have agreed upon a budget which preserves the major social and economic programs that we have fought so hard for, but which does not always provide the funding levels that we would want. These lower funding levels w ill cause problems. And many of these problems w ill unfortunately fa ll on those least able to deal with them. We face the anger of many of our strongest supporters because of these cuts. It is even said by some that we have abandoned our long-held commitments to social and economic justice. This is not true!

For those who make these accusations, I can only ask them to look at the alternatives.

A continued worsening of the economic situation in this country w ill do more damage to our party’s constituents than any budget cuts that we could make. A look at the unemployment lines in Michigan w ill te ll you that. Eighteen percent inflation w ill devastate the lives of our elderly and a ll who are on fixed incomes if not corrected in short order. Twenty percent money makes the dream of the young home-buyer a nightmare and cannot be permitted to continue. As we succeed in turning around the economy, we w ill do our constituents a greater service than any federal program could accomplish.

• - 3 -

We must face an even worse prospect. If we as Democrats fa il to deal with the current economic problems, the country may well turn to the Republican Party for leadership. For those of you who support our party's strong economic and social initiatives, this should be a frightening prospect.

If anyone questions the budget cuts that the Democratic Congress has made, I ask them to carefully consider some of the proposals made by the Republicans in Congress.

In the area of employment, the budget proposed by the Republicans called for eliminating the Job Corps Program, relaxing the Davis-Bacon wage requirements, reducing the summer youth employment program by half and, making a drastic cut in the CETA program.

In terms of aid to the disadvantaged, the Republicans proposed reducing Medicaid funds by $1 billio n, reducing our aid to families with dependent children by $1 b illio n , and reducing our child nutrition programs by $500 m illion. Furthermore, if the Republicans had had their way, the Food Stamp Program would have been cut by 61%.

Among the other reductions, were $1 b illio n from the Department of Education budget, and a cut that would cause an abrupt termination of Amtrak services.

Just to give you a fu ll measure of the kinds of programs that the Republicans have targeted, the following agencies would be eliminated: the National Foundation for the Arts and Humanities, the Commission on Fine A rts, the Japan-U. S. Friendship Com- mission and the National Commission on Libraries and Information S e rv ic e s .

This lis t should scare any Democrat. The Republican budget that I have just outlined would eliminate $26 billion worth of basically good programs. But that isn't a ll. Their proposal calls for eliminating another $40 b illio n worth the following year.

A Republican victory in November would result in the wholesale destruction of the programs that we as Democrats have spent our adult lives building.

The Democratic Congress and Administration have made cuts and we have produced a balanced budget. But we have not sacrificed our basic programs to do so. - 4 -

I do not say that we should be happy with the impact of our budget cuts on social and economic programs. None of us can be happy with them.

I do not say that we should change directions as a party, that we should abandon our traditional goals as a party. This we must not do.

1980 is a tough year to be a Democrat. It is a year in which we must tighten the belt on our own priorities in order to avoid having those priorities abandoned totally by a change in this nation's leadership.

This is a year in which we w ill fin d out what we are made of as a party. This is a year that w ill test our belief and con- fidence in ourselves as a party.

We w ill be attacked from a ll sides. Some w ill continue to say that we are the party of big-spenders, that we waste the taxpayers money on useless social and economic programs. To them we must say that we are proud of our programs and that money spent to promote social and economic justice for a ll our citizens is never wasted.

Some w ill attack us for not spending enough, for abandoning our programs. To them we must respond with compassion. We must affirm our traditional commitments and assure them that funding for these programs w ill continue at the highest levels possible, consistent with the health of our economy.

I call on a ll Democrats to work together to preserve the programs that we have struggled so long and so hard to create. And I ask you to spread the word that we w ill not abandon our goals as a party, that we w ill continue to promote economic and social justice for a ll of our people.

In this year of testing, I believe that Democrats w ill pull together and that we w ill be able to preserve the achievements we have worked so hard to attain. There is too much at stake, too much to lose, if we do not pull together. N0 01204 No 01204 and Friends and Friends
