THE STRATEGIC LOCATION OF THESE COUNTRIES AND THE -RESO'URCES THEY POSS!ESS MEAN THAT EVENTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST

DIRECTLY AFFECT PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.

\~E AND OUR FRIENDS COULD NOT BE INDIFFERENT IF A -HOSTILE POWER W:ERE TO ESTABLISH DOMlNATION. THERE, -

WILL MEAN THAT THE NATIONS OF THE MIDDLE EAST CAN DEAL

\~ITH EACH OTHER AS NEIGHBORS AND EO.UA'l.SJ WITH lHE FULL -RANGE OF DIPLOMATIC} CULTURAL} ECONOMIC} AND HUMAN - -· -RELATIONS BETWEEN THEM,

THE CANP DAVID AGREEMENT HAS DEFINED SUCH

THE CAMP DAVID AGREEMENT PROVIDES FOR THE

REALIZATION ·OF THESE GOALS, --AND FINALLY THERE IS THE PAINFUL HUMAN QUESTION -

OF THE FATE OF THE PALESTINIANS WHO LIVE OR WHO HAVE --LIVED IN THIS DISPUTED REGION, -THE CAMP DAVID AGREEMENT GUARANTEES THAT THE

PALESTINIAN PEOPLE MAY PARTICIPATE IN THE RESOLUTION

OF THE PALESTINIAN PROBLEM IN ALL ITS ASPECTS, - -

OVER THE LAST EIGHTEEN MONTHS1 THERE HAS BEEN - -PROGRESS ON SOME OF THESE ISSUES. -EGYPT AND IsRAEL CAME CLOSE TO AGREEING ABOUT THE - -

THERE WOULD BE NO MORE WAR, ---THOSE HOPES WERE SUS TAl NED WHEN PRTME MIN I STER -BEGIN RECIPROCATED BY VISITING ISMAILlA ON CHRISTMAS DAY, -THAT PROGRESS CONTINUED., AT A SLOWER AND SLOWER ·-

IT WAS THIS STALEMATE AND THE PHOSPECT Of AN EVEN

WORSE FUTURE THAT PROMPTED ME TO INVITE BOTH PRESIDENT ~ADAT

lT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OVERSTATE THE COURAGE OF THESE ·-TWO MEN., OR THE FORESIGHT THEY HAVE SHOWN. I

BE SUBMITTED TO A VOTE BY THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE - . INHABITANTS OF THE WEST BANK AND GAZAJ AND THEY WILL HAVE

THE RIGHTJ FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THEIR HISTORYJ TO DECIDE

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT

FROM: STU EIZENSTAT

SUBJECT: Middle East Agreement

Please permit me to make the following suggestions regarding the solidification of your Middle East triumph:

L Talk with both Sadat and Begin partictllarly Begin as soon as possible while they are in this country and urge them -- particularly Begin -- to recognize the political sensitivity of the other party's position and to give as flexible an interpretation to the agreement· as poss±ble. At the Vice President 1 s reception last night for Jewish leaders, a number conveyed to me their concerns that Begin will both "crow" about what he has obtained and give the strictest interpretation possible

1as

evidenced by his interview with Barbara Walters. They urge that you tell Begin that he must be sensitive to Sadat's problems and attempt to help, not hinder, Sadat's selling of this accord.

2. To reinforce this s-tatement to Begin, I think that a number of Jewish Congressmen and Senators would be willing to convey the same message. Frank and/or the Vice President might help accomplish this.

3. Perhaps most important, since the succe-ss of these accords will depend heavily on the Saudi reaction, I suggest that the Vice President and/or Frank very quietly get a group of moderate Senators who supported the Saudi arms _sale to visit the Saudi Ambassador. They might sta'te that they had supported the arms sale d"e•spi te the political objections here becau.se they knew Saudia Arabia would be a strong friend of the United States and peace in the Middle East. They might also say that now is a critical! time for Saudi Arabia to show moderation and support for Sadat. They might leave the clear messa-ge that Saudi Arabia cannot expect future S·upport in the United States Senate if it "blows" the Sadat/Begin agreemenL I think this is of -critical importance.

MSTISLAV ROSTROPOVICH

The President and .Mrs. Carter The White House

My Dear Mr. President and Mrs. Carter,

September 19, 1978

Sunday evening, after the conce·rt in the Whi'te House, my family sat before the television in our hotel room and all four of us cried li.ke children wHh tears of j.oy.

It might seem strange, but please believe me, that during the concert I had a very special feeling towards your absence, Mr. President. There was not even a shadow of dissatisfaction. On the contrary, my feelings were of belief that through your efforts would come a celebration for the whole world, and, during the hour of the eonce.rt, IT\Y faith in that was strongest.

I must say that Mrs. Carter 11 conducted"' the proceeding of the concert with such extraordinary graciousness., simplicity and sincerity that our whole family will never forget her kindness to us.

To the chorus of delight of the whole world and of my people (please do not thin:k that the. government of the U.S.S.R. is the people~) I want to add only one thing -- perhaps the most meaningful to me personally. If President Sadat and Prime Minister Begin had t~ot believed in you as a HUMAN BEING (not as a president -- for surely presidents can be more talented or less, or even not exceedingly intelligent?), if they had not felt your human quaHties, I am sure there would have been no triumph of agreement. You were victo.rius not only as a President, but as a man of honesty, integrity and goodness. These qualities of yours have renewed my belief in the power of human goodness. Thank you.

With deep gratitude and affection for you family,

Mstislav Rostropovich

THE: PRES!IF8ENT

FRANK MOORE' 11: TERRY STRAUB-~~ i

Vote on Veterans' reference

We wanted to recap for you the chain of events leading. up to the Veterans' Preference· vote Monday in the House. The final totals on the Hanley amend­ment (to restore the original preference to the bill) are not at all reflective o.f the genuine figures on this issue.

As you know, the real test a.f this issue was the vote on the Bonier amendment that occurred j;q.:s.t before the vote on the Hanley amendmen~t. We stayed eveFl with our opponents throughout most of this vote. The balloting on Bonior had us within 25 votes (161-yes to 186-no) with one minute left, with many Members holding back watching for the trend. At this point, many of those hanging back voted no and' others started switching.their votes, causing our efforts to tumble like a house of cards·. We always knew we had to win the Bonier vote in order to have a chance to win the Hanley vote. Mos•t Members simply bailed out on us after Bonier lost, feeling we had no chance to beat Hanley.

TWo other factors were· also a•t play. Our floor whips were noticeably absent befmr·e and during the vote., as was the leadership. We tried ·earlier in the day to recruit Wright and Rostenkowski to make floor state­ments for us; both.were difficult to find and neither would agree to go out front. Their avoidance wa:s repre­sentative of a general reluctance by our supporters to have too high a profile on this •. Reelection pol± tics and post-recess jitters also contributed to this result.

"'

- 2 -

Had we been able to move before recess and before the veterans had the opportunity to corner the members in their districts, the results might have been different.

We don't intend for this memo to sound like a set of excuses and hope it does not. All of us, including Udall, were confident we were within striking distance up until the final moments. Hopefully we have laid some ground­work for moving this initiative next year when it can stand alone. ·

From: Frank Moore;:pt"jf7/

PRESS PLAN

ti\Thite House Photo Only

P l-1.RTI CI PANTS

See attached list.

AGENDA

1. Energy. The Senate will vote today (Tuesday) on the V1etzenbaum motion . to recommit with instructions. You should thank Senators Byrd and Cranston for their hard work. Because, ·Of their efforts with their colleagues, it now appears that we will be in good shape on this motion.

There is much work to be done to ensure we can defeat any subsequent motions to recommit with instructions that may be fashioned by gas bill opponents. The vote on final passage is scheduled for September 27. You should ask Senator Byrd if he has any thoughts about how you, the Vice President, Jim Schlesinger or I should focus our efforts to ensure success with the conference report.

2. Taxes. You should ask Senator Byrd t6 repor~ on activity in the Finance Committee.

Last week the Committee tentatively agreed to raise the personal exemption to $1,000 and to repeal the existing $35 per person tax credit 9ranted all taxpayers. The Committee also raised the earned income credit to 10% o.f the first ~6,000 for individuals and 10% of $12,000 for families .

..

......

- 2 -

On Monday, the Committee began to review options "available" for those with incomes of $10,000 to $50,000. The only action of significance on Monday was defeat of the Kemp-Roth provision by a vote of 10-8. You should probably not comment on the specifics of Senate committee action thus far.

3. Civil Service Reform. and Senate Leadersh~p might also thank them soon after passage of

You should thank both the House for their strong support. You for convening a conference so the bill in the House.

The Conferees held their first meeting on Monday and made good progress.

As ,you know, there are 25 major issues to be resolved. The continued help of the Leadership will be needed.

4. Airline Deregulation. Tentatively scheduled as the f~rst order of business on Wednesday. You should request the Speaker to stick with Wednesda,y consideration by the House. You should urge O'Neill and Byrd,to help convene a conference as soon as possible.

5. Pos,sible Vetoes. I suggest that you not raise the subJect of possible vetoes, but you should be prepared to discuss the topic; the Speaker may very well bring up the issue.

(a} Public Works Appropriation. The Leadership in both chambers w~ll be work1ng against us. Sustaining a veto will be extremely difficult.

Major problems in the bill:

e The mandated hiring of over two thousand people for the Army Corps and the Bureau of Reclamation.

• The restoration of funding for the proj.ects halted last year -- at a cost of over $380 million.

• Rejection of the Administration's full funding approach resulting in disguised costs~ i.e., Sl.8 billion in total project costs are authorized in the bill at only $103 million for FY 79.

Note: The energy portions of the bill are generally acceptable.

- 3 -

(b) Surface Transportation •. Tentatively scheduled for House floor action on Wednesday. Bob Giaimo will offer an amendment to the highway title. If success'ful that title would be close to your budget. It incorporates a Conable/Gibbons approach to limit spending to annual trust fund revenues. You should request Leadership help with this amendment.

The prospects for the transit title are much less promising. At present it is overbudgeted by about $900 million. DOT is working with Bob Duncan of Oregon on a possible amendment, but prospects do not look good. I sug.gest you not mention it.

On the Senate side, it is not clear when the transit title will be considered. The Morgan Amendment to reduce authorizations by $1 billion a year is gaining support.

6. Foreign Assistance Appropriations. If Senator Inouye is present, you should thank him £or his help last week during Senate Appropriations Committee consideration. The Committee restored the $90 million for Syria which was cut in the House. They included $50 million of economic assistance for Turkey left out by the House and they included $35 million in military assistance for Greece. Senator Inouye was also instrumental in getting the $15 million for the Sahel Development Program.

7. Post-Election Session. You .should express your desire that we not hold a post-election session. You might ask about the latest estimate for date of adjournment (or recess) in October.

8. Campaign Activity. You should mention the following about the campaign:

(a) Now that most of the Primaries are completed, we will be increasing our efforts to assist Democratic candidates in the fall campaigns.

(b) You, Mrs. Carter, the Vice President, Mrs. Mondale, Chip and Miss Lillian will all be campaigning extensively.

(c) Along with the Cabinet and Senior Staff, Frank Moore's office. has tentatively planned more than 300 appearances from Labor Day through the election.

- 4 -

(d) You have met with almost every major non-incumbent candidate who has come to Washington for a photo opportunity. This week you will be going to New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Over the next week you will be planning your October schedule.

(e) You understand that the DNC has given out some cash contributions and will be giving out a few more over the next month.

(f) You feel that generally the prospects for the election are very good. However, you are deeply disturbed by reports of potential low voter turnout. Frank Moore, Tim Kraft, the DNC and the House and Senate Campaign Committees have begun to plan for a major push on get-out­the-vote including development of a national theme and national media plan. You and other Administration officials will be stressing this at every campaign appearance.

9. Mid-East. I suggest not bringing up the subject. The emphasis should be on the schedule of legislation to meet domestic needs.

10, Nicaragua and Samoza. You should be prepared to answer questions Nicaragua and Samoza. Jim Wright may ask. Dr. Brzezinski will probably not attend the breakfast.

Mr. President:

With regard to your comment on the attached, Sian Turner, Harold Brown and Griffin Bell are prepared to live with the guidance in these letters. However, their initial preference --which gave rise to this proposed guid­ance -- was to report all possible abuses to you, the IOB and Congress simul ta.ne- · . ouslv. '!.'his, of course, would have greatly limited your flexibility and

' I

would inevitably result in strong pressures from the Congressional over­sight committees before you had a chance thoroughly to study the problem and decide upon appropriate remedial actions. The guiCance in the letters assures that this will not be the case.

To Attorney General Bell

As I stated in my July 27, 1977, letter to Senator Inouye, I consider intelligence abuses to be of such import. that I intend to deal personally with such matters, including the obligation of the Executive Branch to inform the appropriate congres­sional conimittees. Therefore, I am writing, pursuant to Section 3-4 O·f Executive Order 12036, to indicate the appropriate procedures. for reporting to congres­sional committees " ••• information relating to intelligence activities that are illegal or improper and correct.ive actions that are taken or planned. "

The FBI should continue to report to the Intelligence •"Oversight Board activities which raise questions of legality or propriety. The IOB will review the matter and, if it raises a serious question, r:eport it to me with its recommendations. If the FBI fee.ls that the gravity of a matter is such that it should be reported directly to me, the information also should. be provided at the same time to the IOB so that it can begin its review promptly.

After considering the reports of the FBI and the IOB and, on questions of leg,ality, your judgment, I will review any determinations that an activity is illeg.al or improper, the proposed corrective action, and the manner and timing of reporting to the Congress. Either you or the FBI Director will then make the appropriate report on the matter to the congressional committees, except when I communicate the matter to them directly.

In the case of questions of legality or proprie.ty which the FBI believes_ are so minor that they clearly do not need to be brought to my attention, the FBI

- 2 -

should continue to inform congressional committees, a's well as the !dB, in a timely manner. The FBI may, of course, at any time suspend an activity which rais.es a ·serious question of legality or impropriety, until a final determination is made whether the activity should be modified or discontinued and what othercorrective action is required.

If in the.FBI's judgment special circumstances require reporting. an illegal or improper activity to Congress within a time period shorter than those outlined here, the FBI should so indicate at the time the matter is reported to the .IOB or to me.

In any event, the ·FBI should discus.s this concern either with myself or the IOB before undertaking to report the matter to Cong.ress ahead of this, timetable.

Sincerely,

To. secretary Brown

As I stated in my July 27, 19'77, letter to Senator Inouye, I consider intellig.ence abuses to be of such import that I intend to deal personally with such matters, including the obligation of the.Executive Branch to inform the appropriate congressional committees. Therefore, I am writing, pursuant to Section 3-4 of Executive Order 12.036, to indicate the appropriate procedures for reporting to congressional committees " ••• in,­formation relating to intelligence activities that are illegal or improper and corrective actions that are taken or planned."

The Department of Defense should continue to report ·-to the Intelligence Oversight Board activities which raise questions of legality or proprie,ty. The IOB will review the matter and, if it raises a serious question, .report it to me with its recommendations. If you feel that the gravity of a ma:tter is such that it should be reported directly to me, the infor­mation also should be provided at the same time to the IOB so that it can begin its review promptly.

After considering the reports of the Department of 'Defense and the IOB and, on questions of legality, the judgment of the Attorney General, I will review any determinations that an activity is illegal or· improper, the proposed corrective action, and the manner and timing of reporting to the Congress. You will then make the appropriate report on the matter to the congressional committees., except when I communicate the matter to them directly.

In the case of ques·tions of legality or propriety which you believe are so minor that they clearly do not need to be brought to my attention, you

•·

- 2 -

should continue to inform congressional co'mmittees, as well as the IOB, in a timely manner. You may, of course, at any time suspend an. activity which raises a serious question of legality or impropriety, until a final determination is made whether the ac­tivity should be modified or discontinued and what other corrective action is required.

If in your j,udgment special circumstances require reporting an .illegal or improper activity to Congress within a time period shorter than those outlined here, you should so indicate at the time the matter is reported to the !OB or to me.

·In any event, you should discuss t•his concern either with.myself or the IOB l:>efore undertaking to report the matter to Congress .ahead of this timetable.

Sincerely,

The Honorable Harold Brown Secretary Department of De.fense Washington, D.C.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT

National Council on the Arts

Nine of the twenty-six positions on the National Council on the Arts will be vacant in September. Eight will be :for full six year terms, and the ninth will be for a remainder of a term expiring in 198.0. All appointment·s are subject to Senate confirmation.

The National Council OR theArts advises the National Endowment and is the ultimate step in the peer review pr.ocess which produces NEA' s grants. Although ·the Council does not possess the legal authority to make grants, the involve­ment of citizens in the grant-making process has been a cornerstone of Federal policy in the arts aRd humanities.

The appointments to the Council are among the most sought after part-time Pcres'idential appoint­ments. Many s·trong recommendations from Members of Congres's and other key. political f.ilgures have been reviewed, along with recommendations from various groups within the arts communities. Our recommendations ref·lect our belief that the appointments mus.t be a successful blend of work­ing artists and patrons of the arts. A slate too heavily biased in either direction could create more problems in the long run than it could solve in the short run .

•

- 2 -

T.he recommended slate consists of three women, two Blacks, and one Hispanic. Two of the candidates are patrons of the a.rts and three are nationally recognized artists.

One of the tougher decisions was to recommend Thomas Bergin, of Indiana, over Denise Hale, of California.. Bergin, who ·is the Dean of Continu­ing Education at the University of Notre Dame, is strongly supported by Maj·ori ty Whip John Bradernas, the key Congressional figure for all arts legis­lation. Hale, an arts patron who was briefly married to Italian film producer Vincent Minnelli, is the wife of Prentice Hale, the Chairman of the Board of the American Retail Federation.. Ambassa­dor Strauss and Loyd Hackler, President of the American Retail Federation, are very interested in Mrs. Hale's appointment. If you decide to appoint Bergin, who has had considerably more experience in the area than Mrs. Hale, Liv Biddle will try to involve Mrs. Hale on a panel associated with the Arts Endowment.

A brief sketch of the entire recommended sl·ate is attached, as wel.l as more complete biographies on each individual.

RECOMMENDATION:

Nominate the recommended slate to the National Council on the Arts.

Housing Starts in August (to be released Tuesday, 2: 30 p.m.)·

.(!_

In August, housing starts fell 4-1/2 percent below July ·(Which was revised upward} . The recent numbers are:

1978 lQ 2Q July August

Housing starts (seasonally adjusted

annual. rate}

1,721,000 2 ,, 114, o·o;o 2,128, OO·O 2,02.9,000

The August decline in housing starts was not a large one. It was accompanied by a similarly modes.t drop in the issuance of building permits.

Higher mortga~e interest rates are beginning to affect housing, but the impact so far is not large, and fa·r less thaR we would have .expected .
