There i s no s m a l l amount
of s t a t i s t i c a l data o u t t h e r e t h a t can be used t o g i v e

The two l a r g e s t t a x c u t s o f t h e p a s t f o r t y y e a r s were
under Kennedy and
Reagan. I n b o t h i n s t a n c e s , when a d j u s t e d f o r i n f l a t i o n ,
government revenues
went UP a f t e r those t a x c u t s . Not down. I n o t h e r words
and i n p l a i n

t h e government had more money t o spend
AFTER taxes were
cut than i t d i d p r i o r t o t h e c u t s . Again, t h i s i s a f t e r

t h e r e i s no h i s t o r i c a l evidence t o
support C l i n t o n ' s s t a t e m e n t s .
H i s t o r y c o n t r a d i c t s h i s statements. So, why d i d n ' t
Bloom share these f a c t s
w i t h us l a s t n i g h t ? Don't t e l l me he d i d n ' t know. H e l l ,
I'm j u s t a l i t t l e t a l k show

you're s u g g e s t i n g t h a t NBC

. . Bloom d i d n ' t leave t h a t i m p o r t a n t f a c t o u t o f h i s
s t o r y because he wasn't

T h i s , as you know, j u s t cannot be done. The r i c h must

make peace, get a l o n g , go a l o n g . . .
How do we reward them by d i s a r m i n g them, and I'm j u s t wondering
by any o b j e c t i v e d e f i n i t i o n o f

Russian r o l e i n postwar Kosovo a l s o
remains u n c l e a r and t h a t would p r o b a b l y be a major c a p i t u l a t i o n

the number one mistake i n t h e P e r s i a n G u l f War, i f we were t o

"Today i s F l a g Day, a h o l i d a y t h a t commemorates t h a t day i n 1777
when the C o n t i n e n t a l Congress
adopted the S t a r s and S t r i p e s as America's o f f i c i a l f l a g . The
poet John Greenleaf W h i t t i e r wrote a
poem d u r i n g the C i v i l War c a l l e d "Barbara F r i e t c h i e . " As t h e
s t o r y goes (and W h i t t i e r s a i d i t was t r u e ) ,
the Confederate Army marched i n t o F r e d e r i c k , Maryland. I n the
morning, f o r t y American f l a g s were
waving. By noon, the people o f the town had t a k e n them a l l down.
But a n i n e t y - y e a r - o l d woman,
named Barbara F r i e t c h i e , took one o f the f l a g s and f l e w i t from
her a t t i c window. The Confederate
l e a d e r S t o n e w a l l Jackson saw the f l a g and o r d e r e d h i s men t o
f i r e on i t . As the f l a g s t a r t e d t o f a l l ,
Barbara F r i e t c h i e caught i t , leaned out her window, waved i t ,
and s a i d ,
+Shoot i f you must t h i s o l d gray
head, / But spare your c o u n t r y ' s f l a g . ' Jackson was so moved by
t h i s d i s p l a y t h a t he s a i d ,
+Who
touches a h a i r on yon gray head / Dies l i k e a dog! March on!'
Though Confederate t r o o p s were t h e r e
a l l day l o n g , t h a t American f l a g kept waving. On t h i s Flag Day,
may we remember t h i s woman's
courage and her l o v e f o r our c o u n t r y . And may she be an example

the

You b a s i c a l l y i m p l i e d t h a t the women must have some p s y c h i a t r i c

psychology.
The norm i s f o r people t o be a t t r a c t e d t o t h e o p p o s i t e sex, i f
t h a t were not so
the human race would d i e o u t . Now, when you have someone

THE ROAD AHEAD:
T h i s morning, t h e B u l l e t i n i n v i t e s J a g d i s h Bhagwati, who
u n t i l r e c e n t l y , served as Economic P o l i c y A d v i s o r t o t h e
D i r e c t o r General o f t h e GATT, t o comment on t h e importance o f
t h i s morning's t e n t a t i v e market access agreement i n Tokyo.
Bhagwati i s P r o f e s s o r o f Economics a t Columbia U n i v e r s i t y .
BHAGWATI: "The market access agreement i s about k n o c k i n g down
t a r i f f b a r r i e r s , and so p r o g r e s s i n t h a t area i s welcome. But
t a r i f f s are not the b i g g e s t o b s t a c l e s t o t r a d e today.
Throughout t h e post-war p e r i o d , t a r i f f s have been b r o u g h t down
t o f a i r l y n e g l i g i b l e l e v e l s . They s t i c k o u t here and t h e r e i n
s e c t o r s such as t e x t i l e s o r e l e c t r o n i c s , b u t t h e y are n o t t h e
major impediment t o t r a d e . The agreement reached i n Tokyo
might be d e s c r i b e d as one i n which we are g o i n g the l a s t h a l f mile .
"Having s a i d t h a t , i t i s a l s o w o r t h n o t i n g t h a t t a r i f f s
c o u l d have been a b o t t l e n e c k o r a r o a d b l o c k t o a r e s u m p t i o n o f
GATT, so i t i s good t h a t an agreement was reached.
I t was a
necessary c o n d i t i o n t o r e s t a r t t h e GATT t a l k s , b u t i t i s n ' t a
s u f f i c i e n t one.
They s t i l l have t o take s e v e r a l o t h e r s t e p s
and do a l o t o f b a r g a i n i n g . The market access agreement i s an
i m p o r t a n t r o a d b l o c k which we have now g o t t e n p a s t .
"The importance t h e agreement w i l l p l a y i n r e s t a r t i n g
GATT may have more t o do w i t h c o n f i d e n c e - b u i l d i n g t h a n t h e
a c t u a l weight o f t h e agreement by i t s e l f .
The agreement seems
t o be h i g h l i g h t e d as something t h a t w i l l h e l p r e s t a r t GATT,
and sometimes t h e way you p l a y up something makes i t something
g r e a t e r than i t i s . So i t may w e l l p r o v i d e p o s i t i v e momentum.

Japan. I would even say t h a t t h e m u l t i l a t e r a l i s m t h a t i s
r e p r e s e n t e d i n the GATT i s f a r b e t t e r than the r e g i o n a l i s m
r e p r e s e n t e d i n e f f o r t s such as NAFTA, where t h e US would add
successive c o u n t r i e s t o a f r e e t r a d e p a c t . N e i t h e r t h e Asians
nor the Europeans would s t a n d s t i l l f o r t h a t . So t o the

""The g a u n t l e t has been thrown,'' he s a i d , t h e n proceeded t o
p l a y a tape of C l i n t o n ' s remarks and r i d i c u l e them. ""This i s not a

He c i t e d t h e q u e s t i o n as an example of the media's focus on bad

Good t o have you back i n St. L o u i s . You're here
f o r a f u n d r a i s e r t o n i g h t f o r Dick Gephardt. And t h a t p r e t t y much
b r i n g s me t o my f i r s t q u e s t i o n because on Wednesday evening, you
a t t e n d e d a $15,000 a p l a t e , r a t h e r a t a b l e -- $1,500 a p l a t e d i n n e r
- - a f u n d r a i s e r f o r t h e Democrats. And some people say t h a t t h i s
runs c o n t r a r y t o your pledge when you were r u n n i n g as Governor
C l i n t o n f o r t h e p r e s i d e n c y t o t r y and l i m i t t h e i n f l u e n c e o f

i n d i v i d u a l s and t h e i r r o l e i n t h e democratic process.
But here you
are r a i s i n g s i n c e J u l y o f 1992 $40 m i l l i o n i n what's c a l l e d s o f t
money f o r t h e Democratic P a r t y . How do you j u s t i f y t h i s ?
THE PRESIDENT: I j u s t i f y i t because o f t h e o p p o s i t i o n
p o l i c i e s o f t h e Republican P a r t y and a l l t h e s p e c i a l i n t e r e s t groups
t h a t have r a i s e d and spent f a r more money a g a i n s t us, a t t a c k i n g me
and my p o l i c i e s and s p r e a d i n g d i s i n f o r m a t i o n t o t h e American people.
Let me say t h a t a l l t h i s t i m e , ever s i n c e I ' v e been i n o f f i c e , I have
worked hard t o pass a campaign f i n a n c e r e f o r m b i l l , which would l i m i t
these k i n d s o f c o n t r i b u t i o n s r i g h t across t h e board t o b o t h p o l i t i c a l
p a r t i e s and r e s t o r e b a s i c a l l y u n f e t t e r e d debate t o t h e c e n t r a l
p o s i t i o n i t ought t o have i n our p o l i t i c a l system.
But I don't b e l i e v e i n u n i l a t e r a l disarmament. The
money t h a t I have r a i s e d w i l l be used t o t r y t o make sure t h a t t h e
Democratic p a r t i e s t h r o u g h o u t t h e c o u n t r y i n these f a l l e l e c t i o n s and
our candidates w i l l a t l e a s t have f i g h t i n g chance t o t a l k about our
r e c o r d and t h e f a c t s and what we've done here.
I f we c o u l d change
the r u l e s f o r everybody, t h a t ' s what we ought t o do.
When I r a n f o r P r e s i d e n t , I d i d n ' t even take any PAC
money. And I have worked v e r y , v e r y hard t o pass campaign f i n a n c e
r e f o r m laws and lobby r e f o r m laws, which w i l l make t h e system b e t t e r .
But u n t i l I do, i t would be a mistake f o r t h e Democrats t o j u s t l a y
down and n o t r a i s e any money, l e t t i n g t h e Republicans and a l o t o f
t h e i r a l l i e d groups have a l l t h e money i n t h e w o r l d when t h e y a l r e a d y
have g r e a t e r access t o a l o t o f t h i n g s l i k e a l o t o f o t h e r media
o u t l e t s than we do.
though,
Q
Wouldn't you be s e t t i n g a l e a d e r s h i p example,
i f you were t h e f i r s t one t o say, l o o k , these $15,000 a t a b l e
f u n d r a i s e r s b a s i c a l l y a r e way o u t o f hand; I ' v e g o t t o p u t an end t o
this?
THE PRESIDENT: W e l l , I'm t r y i n g t o p u t an end t o i t .
A l l t h e Congress has t o do i s t o send me t h e campaign f i n a n c e r e f o r m
b i l l , and w e ' l l p u t an end t o t h i s s o - c a l l e d s o f t money. I ' v e been
working f o r a year and a h a l f t o do i t . But i f -- we have enough
problems. The Republicans and t h e f a r r i g h t i n t h i s c o u n t r y have
t h e i r own media networks.
We don't have a n y t h i n g l i k e t h a t .
They
have e x t r a o r g a n i z e d p o l i t i c a l a c t i o n groups t h a t we can't match.
And they have t h e Republican P a r t y ' s f u n d r a i s i n g apparatus, which has
been s t r e n g t h e n e d by h a v i n g had t h e White House f o r a l l b u t f o u r
years i n t h e l a s t 20 y e a r s .
So we have r e a l problems competing. I am more t h a n
happy t o stop t h i s .
I ' v e been o u t t h e r e f i g h t i n g t o stop i t . A l l

L e t me a d d t h i s .
This
a d m i n i s t r a t i o n and t h i s P r e s i d e n t has done more t o advance campaign
r e f o r m and lobby r e f o r m t h a n any a d m i n i s t r a t i o n i n t h e h i s t o r y o f t h e
c o u n t r y . And t h e Congress i s about t h r e e o r f o u r weeks away from
p u t t i n g on h i s desk b o t h b i l l s t h a t he's asked f o r t h a t would l i m i t
t h a t amount t h a t can be spent t o campaign and would v a s t l y l i m i t t h e
a c t i v i t i e s of a l o b b y i s t .
THE PRESIDENT: I ' d l i k e t o emphasize t h a t . The t h i n g s
t h a t are w i t h i n my c o n t r o l , r e q u i r e m e n t s and l i m i t s on my
a d m i n i s t r a t i o n and what can be done w i t h r e g a r d t o l o b b y i n g , a r e
s t r i c t e r now t h a n t h e y have ever been i n American h i s t o r y because o f
the t h i n g s t h a t I ' v e done, t h a t I can do on my own. And I want t h i s
campaign f i n a n c e law t o change. But we ought t o change i t by t h e
law,
and we ought t o change i t f o r everyone.
Q
Mr. P r e s i d e n t , t h e -- here, where we s i t everyday
and you l i s t e n t o people complain about t h e i n f l u e n c e o f money and
p o l i t i c s -- and I guess you hear a l o t o f c y n i c i s m . Do you g e t t h e
sense t h a t t h e American people are becoming more c y n i c a l , becoming
l e s s t o l e r a n t ? Do you g e t t h e sense t h a t t h e r e i s some h a t r e d abroad
i n the land?
THE PRESIDENT: A b s o l u t e l y . I t h i n k t h e r e ' s t o o much
c y n i c i s m and t o o much i n t o l e r a n c e . But i f you l o o k a t t h e
i n f o r m a t i o n they g e t , i f you l o o k a t how much more n e g a t i v e t h e news
r e p o r t s a r e , how much more e d i t o r i a l they are and how much l e s s
d i r e c t they a r e , i f you l o o k a t how much o f t a l k r a d i o i s j u s t a
c o n s t a n t u n r e m i t t i n g drumbeat o f n e g a t i v i s m and c y n i c i s m , you c a n ' t - I don't t h i n k t h e American people are c y n i c a l , b u t you can't blame
them f o r responding t h a t way.
We, f o r example --we had a meeting t h e o t h e r day, and a
group o f people were t o l d t h a t under our budgets we were g o i n g t o
b r i n g t h e d e f i c i t down t h r e e y e a r s i n a row f o r t h e f i r s t t i m e s i n c e
Harry Truman was P r e s i d e n t . And some o f them s a i d , w e l l , I j u s t
don't b e l i e v e you. We never hear t h a t on t h e news -- I j u s t don't
b e l i e v e you. (Laughter.) I t ' s a f a c t . I ' v e worked hard t o do i t .
And we're g o i n g t o -- we're b r i n g i n g t h e d e f i c i t down. That's what
b o t h e r s me.
You know, I j u s t g o t back from Normandy, c e l e b r a t i n g
the 50th a n n i v e r s a r y o f D-Day. And when I s t o o d on Normandy beaches,
and when I saw a l l those rows o f crosses t h e r e , i t o c c u r r e d t o me
t h a t those people d i d n o t d i e so t h e American people c o u l d i n d u l g e
themselves i n t h e l u x u r y o f c y n i c i s m . And, f r a n k l y , t h a t ' s j u s t what
i t is.
America now has --we have t h e s t r o n g e s t economic performance
of any o f t h e advanced c o u n t r i e s i n t h e w o r l d . We're b r i n g i n g t h e
d e f i c i t down a t a v e r y r a p i d r a t e . We're i n c r e a s i n g our i n v e s t m e n t
i n e d u c a t i o n and t r a i n i n g . We're s e r i o u s l y d e a l i n g w i t h c r i m e , w i t h
w e l f a r e r e f o r m , w i t h h e a l t h care f o r t h e f i r s t t i m e i n decades.
We
have broken g r i d l o c k i n t h e Congress, b i l l s t h a t l a n g u i s h e d around
f o r s i x o r seven y e a r s l i k e t h e Brady B i l l and t h e Family and M e d i c a l
Leave B i l l have passed. The economy i n St. L o u i s i s booming.
There i s no reason t o be c y n i c a l . But t h e American
people keep b e i n g t o l d t h a t t h i n g s are bad and p o l i t i c i a n s are
c o r r u p t and t h e system's broken. That's j u s t n o t t r u e .
You l o o k a t what we're coming t o St. L o u i s t o c e l e b r a t e
�ARMS Email System
today, t h i s Summer o f S e r v i c e . We've got 7,000 young Americans who
are going t o be e a r n i n g money f o r t h e i r c o l l e g e e d u c a t i o n by w o r k i n g
and making t h e i r communities s a f e r a l l across t h i s c o u n t r y . I n t h e
f a l l , 20,000 young Americans, doing community s e r v i c e work, e a r n i n g
money f o r an e d u c a t i o n , h e l p i n g t o s o l v e problems.
These k i d s a r e n ' t c y n i c a l . They know t h a t t h e i r c o u n t r y
i s a good p l a c e and t h e y ' r e g o i n g t o make i t b e t t e r . We've got a l o t
of s e r i o u s problems, and f r a n k l y , we can't a f f o r d t h i s c y n i c i s m .
But
i t ' s a l l the rage today.
Q
Mr. P r e s i d e n t , l e t me b u t t i n here, i f I might,
j u s t t o t a l k about c y n i c i s m i n America and ask f o r your comments on
the s t o r y t h a t we saw e a r l i e r t h i s week. You t a l k e d about your t r i p
t o Normandy, and we read i n t h e papers t h a t members of t h e White
House s t a f f were accused of s t e a l i n g 13 b l u e George Washington -U.S.S. George Washington c a r r i e r t o w e l s w i t h t h e GW i n s i g n i a , f o u r
U.S.S. GW bathrobes, 12 p l a i n bathrobes and 55 w h i t e t o w e l s from t h a t
carrier.
Now, t h i s was n o t a bunch of school c h i l d r e n .
These
were White House s t a f f e r s , management, accused o f s t e a l i n g , r i p p i n g
o f f , these t o w e l s i n t h e -- from t h e s h i p . My q u e s t i o n i s , I mean,
how do you e x p l a i n t h i s ?
I t h i n k t h i s would e x p l a i n some o f our
c y n i c i s m . People say, who are these people i n t h e White House?
THE PRESIDENT: W e l l , f i r s t of a l l , we're not sure t h a t
j u s t the White House s t a f f d i d t h a t . There were press people.
There
were l o t s of o t h e r people on t h a t boat who were not members of t h e
White House s t a f f . We t h i n k i t -- I'm not e n t i r e l y sure i t was.
And
the George Washington i s v e r y , v e r y upset by t h e press r e p o r t s t h a t
those t o w e l s , which were o b v i o u s l y t a k e n as s o u v e n i r s , were t a k e n by
a l l the White House s t a f f .
They never s a i d t h a t we s t o l e a n y t h i n g .
That's t h e k i n d o f t h i n g I'm t a l k i n g about.
But l e t me j u s t say t h i s -- someone i n t h e White House
p e r s o n a l l y reimbursed t h e George Washington f o r a l l of them, because
they f e l t so bad.
And t h e people who were r u n n i n g t h e a i r c r a f t
c a r r i e r s a i d t h a t t h e y were a s t o n i s h e d t h a t the White House s t a f f was
charged w i t h t a k i n g a l l those t h i n g s -- t h a t t h e r e were members o f
the press t h e r e , t h e r e were o t h e r people on t h a t c a r r i e r . They
weren't a t a l l sure t h a t White House s t a f f had done t h a t .
But
someone on my s t a f f was so upset t h a t anybody had done i t , t h a t they
reimbursed them e n t i r e l y so t h a t they d i d n ' t l o s e a t h i n g on i t .
But, you know, I c o u l d g i v e you a l o t of examples - - a
year ago t h e r e was a w i d e l y - r e p o r t e d s t o r y t h a t I kept a i r p l a n e
t r a f f i c w a i t i n g an hour i n Los Angeles t o get a h a i r c u t i n an
a i r p o r t . That wasn't t r u e e i t h e r . I t wasn't t r u e a t t h e t i m e .
And
I t o l d the press i t wasn't t r u e . They ran t h e s t o r y anyway. Then
f o u r weeks l a t e r when t h e FAA f i l e d t h e i r o f f i c i a l r e p o r t , t h e y s a i d ,
no, t h e r e were no planes kept w a i t i n g .
Now, I am not r e s p o n s i b l e f o r s t o r i e s t h a t are w r i t t e n
t h a t are not f u l l y a c c u r a t e or u n t r u e , but i t feeds i n t o t h i s
cynicism.
Last year t h e Congress and t h e P r e s i d e n t , a c c o r d i n g t o
a l l n o n p a r t i s a n r e p o r t s , had the most p r o d u c t i v e year w o r k i n g

I I , except Dwight Eisenhower's f i r s t year and P r e s i d e n t Johnson's

under more d i f f i c u l t c i r c u m s t a n c e s w i t h tougher i s s u e s .
not
I ' l l b e t you nobody i n America knows t h a t .
e n t i r e l y our f a u l t .
Now,
that's
Look a t a l l t h e t h i n g s you c o u l d have asked me about,
and you j u s t asked me t h a t . D i d you know t h a t t h e r e were o t h e r
people on t h a t a i r c r a f t c a r r i e r ? D i d you know t h e r e were p r e s s
people on t h e a i r c r a f t c a r r i e r ? D i d you know t h a t t h e -- t h a t t h e
c a r r i e r had been f u l l y r e i m b u r s e d o u t o f t h e p r i v a t e pocket o f a
White House s t a f f member who was so upset about i t ?
Q
No, I d i d n ' t know t h a t t h e White House --
THE PRESIDENT: No. No. Why d i d n ' t you know t h a t ?
Because t h e press r e p o r t i n g i t d i d n ' t say so.
Q
Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: I mean, p a r t o f t h e problem i n t h i s
c o u n t r y today i s t h a t -- t h i s i s a good c o u n t r y w i t h a l o t o f people
working h a r d t o g e t t h i n g s done. And t h e American people a r e
e n t i t l e d t o have some balanced and f a i r p i c t u r e o f what's g o i n g on.
We've had 3.5 m i l l i o n new j o b s come i n t o t h i s economy
s i n c e I've been P r e s i d e n t
f a r more t h a n i n t h e p r e v i o u s f o u r y e a r s
combined. Most Americans don't even know i t , because t h a t ' s n o t t h e
purpose o f a l o t o f what's communicated t o them.
And I t h i n k t h a t - - I have a v e r y h i g h r e s p o n s i b i l i t y .
I don't mind you a s k i n g me whether I s h o u l d s e t an example on
campaign c o n t r i b u t i o n s , b u t t h e r e a r e a l o t o f o t h e r examples t h a t
need t o be s e t i n t h i s c o u n t r y . And I t h i n k t h e people who
communicate t o t h e American people need t o ask themselves, what a r e
we t e l l i n g t h e people? Are we t e l l i n g them t h e whole t r u t h ? Do t h e y
know what's good as w e l l as what's bad i n t h i s c o u n t r y . And when we
make a mistake, t h e n we f e s s up t o i t .
I think that there i s a l o t of cynicism i n t h i s country.
But f r a n k l y , I t h i n k t h e r e a r e a l o t o f v e s t e d i n t e r e s t s t h a t a r e
promoting t h e c y n i c i s m .
Q
Mr. P r e s i d e n t , l e t ' s t a l k about t h a t j u s t a l i t t l e

Today, o r y e s t e r d a y , t h e Republicans i n t h e Senate asked you t o
disavow a remark t h a t I b e l i e v e R e p r e s e n t a t i v e Fazio made about

e x t r e m i s t s i n t h e o t h e r p a r t y , t h e Republicans, t h a t you say may be

p o l i t i c a l debate i n America today, where we c a l l each o t h e r names?
THE PRESIDENT: Of course, i t i s . L e t me say, f i r s t o f
a l l , you have never found me c r i t i c i z i n g e v a n g e l i c a l C h r i s t i a n s . I
have welcomed t h e i n v o l v e m e n t i n our p o l i t i c a l system o f a l l people,

I have s t r o n g r e l i g i o u s c o n v i c t i o n s m y s e l f .
But t h a t i s v e r y d i f f e r e n t -- t h a t i s v e r y d i f f e r e n t
from what i s g o i n g on, when people come i n t o t h e p o l i t i c a l system and
they say t h a t anybody t h a t doesn't agree w i t h them i s God-less, any
one who doesn't agree w i t h them i s n o t a good C h r i s t i a n , anyone who
doesn't agree w i t h them i s f a i r game f o r any w i l d charge, no m a t t e r
how f a l s e , f o r any k i n d o f p e r s o n a l , demeaning a t t a c k .
I don't suppose t h e r e ' s any p u b l i c f i g u r e t h a t ' s ever
been s u b j e c t t o any more v i o l e n t , p e r s o n a l a t t a c k s than I have, a t
l e a s t i n modern h i s t o r y , anybody's who's been p r e s i d e n t . That's
fine.
I d e a l w i t h them. But I don't b e l i e v e t h a t i t ' s t h e work o f
God. And I t h i n k t h a t ' s what t h e i s s u e i s . I do n o t b e l i e v e t h a t
people should be c r i t i c i z e d f o r t h e i r r e l i g i o u s c o n v i c t i o n s . But
n e i t h e r do I b e l i e v e t h a t people can p u t on t h e mantle o f r e l i g i o n
and then j u s t i f y a n y t h i n g they say o r do. I t h i n k t h a t ' s what Mr.
Fazio was t a l k i n g about.
We don't need a c u l t u r a l war i n t h i s c o u n t r y . We've
never done v e r y w e l l when o u r p o l i t i c s has been devoted t o d i v i d i n g
us along grounds o f race, r e l i g i o n , creed, m o r a l i t y . We haven't done
v e r y w e l l . We've g o t a l o t o f s e r i o u s c h a l l e n g e s i n t h i s c o u n t r y .
And we need t o p u l l t o g e t h e r and face them. Should we have arguments
about moral issues?
Of course, we should. But t h e y ought t o be
honest and c a r e f u l and s t r a i g h t f o r w a r d and r e s p e c t f u l . And, f r a n k l y ,
t h e y ' r e n o t today.
Q
Are you t a l k i n g about f o l k s l i k e t h e Reverend J e r r y
F a l w e l l , who t h r o u g h h i s i n f o m e r c i a l s i s s e l l i n g a v i d e o t a p e c r i t i c a l
of you?
THE PRESIDENT: A b s o l u t e l y . Look a t who he's t a l k i n g
t o . Does he make f u l l d i s c l o s u r e t o t h e American people o f t h e
backgrounds o f t h e people t h a t he's i n t e r v i e w e d t h a t have made these
s c u r r i l o u s and f a l s e charges a g a i n s t me? Of course, n o t . I s t h a t i n
a good C h r i s t i a n s p i r i t ?
I t h i n k i t ' s questionable.

But I t h i n k i t s v e r y i m p o r t a n t t h a t t h e Democrats be
c a r e f u l -- l e t me say t h i s - - t o make a c l e a r d i s t i n c t i o n between
t a c t i c s w i t h which t h e y do n o t agree and r a d i c a l p o s i t i o n s w i t h which
they do n o t agree, and t h e whole n o t i o n o f e v a n g e l i c a l C h r i s t i a n s
b e i n g i n v o l v e d i n our p o l i t i c s .
I think that evangelical Christians
should be good c i t i z e n s , s h o u l d be i n v o l v e d i n our p o l i t i c s .
They
can be Republicans o r Democrats, t h e y can do whatever t h e y want. But
remember t h a t Jesus threw t h e money changers o u t o f t h e temple.
He
d i d n ' t t r y t o take over t h e j o b o f t h e money changers.

Mr. P r e s i d e n t , w o r l d f i n a n c i a l markets

THE PRESIDENT: W e l l , t h e S e c r e t a r y o f Treasury w i l l
have an announcement about i t today.
L e t me say, j u s t make one p o i n t
about i t -- t h i s i s a v e r y - - a development t h a t i s p u z z l i n g a l o t o f

Japan.
I n a funny way t h e c u r r e n c y v a l u e s a r e r u n n i n g i n t h e
o p p o s i t e d i r e c t i o n o f economic s t r e n g t h because Japan has a g r e a t
t r a d e s u r p l u s w i t h us, as you know. I f t h e i r economy i s weak, no
m a t t e r what they do, they can't lower t h e t r a d e s u r p l u s because they
don't have t h e money t o buy more American p r o d u c t s i f t h e i r own
economy i s weak.
So i n a funny way, t h e p e r c e p t i o n o f a weak economy i n
Japan has d r i v e n t h e American d o l l a r down a g a i n s t t h e Japanese yen
because t h e i r t r a d e s u r p l u s has c o n t i n u e d t o be h i g h . The German
economy, thank goodness, i s coming back a l i t t l e b i t , and t h a t ' s a
good t h i n g , b u t i t s t r e n g t h e n s t h e German mark. The American d o l l a r
i s a c t u a l l y stronger against a l o t of other currencies i n the world
than i t was a year ago. I t h i n k i t ' s i m p o r t a n t t h a t we n o t o v e r r e a c t
t o t h i s . But t h e S e c r e t a r y o f t h e Treasury w i l l have a statement
today which w i l l demonstrate t h e course t h a t we're t a k i n g . And I
t h i n k i t ' s a prudent t h i n g t o do.
Q
I f I sense a n y t h i n g today, i t seems l i k e a
f r u s t r a t i o n on your p a r t about an i n a b i l i t y o r j u s t -- f o r some

t h a t you want t o g e t a c r o s s .
I s t h a t p r e t t y much t r u e ?
THE PRESIDENT: W e l l , l e t me ask you something -- I'm

I have determined t h a t I'm g o i n g t o be aggressive about i t . A f t e r I
get o f f t h e r a d i o today w i t h you, Rush Limbaugh w i l l have t h r e e hours
t o say whatever he wants. And I won't have any o p p o r t u n i t y t o
respond. And t h e r e ' s no t r u t h d e t e c t o r . You won't g e t on a f t e r w a r d s
and say what was t r u e and what wasn't.
So a l l I'm t e l l you i s , I'm going t o be f a r more
aggressive because t h e American people are e n t i t l e d t o know what's
going on good i n t h i s c o u n t r y .
When I go overseas -- I j u s t g o t back from Europe, and
the European press came up t o me a f t e r - - o n s e v e r a l occasions -members o f t h e press i n Europe, and say, what i s g o i n g on i n your
country? You've g o t t h i n g s g o i n g w e l l ; you a r e n o t h i n g l i k e they

b e w i l d e r e d . Members o f t h e press i n Europe s a i d t h a t t o me
r e p e a t e d l y . So I decided i n s t e a d o f b e i n g f r u s t r a t e d , I needed t o be
aggressive, and I'm g o i n g t o be aggressive from here on i n . I'm
going t o t e l l what I know t h e t r u t h t o be.

And you promised l o n g

THE PRESIDENT: -- u n i v e r s a l --we need t o have

Q
Are you w i l l i n g t o compromise on t h i s r i g h t now i f
i t t u r n s o u t t o be a p o l i t i c a l r e a l i t y t h a t Congress cannot go f o r
the f u l l u n i v e r s a l h e a l t h care?
THE PRESIDENT: W e l l , I t h i n k Congress w i l l adopt
u n i v e r s a l h e a l t h care. There may be some minor debates about e x a c t l y
how t o d e f i n e t h a t , b u t t h e r e a l i s s u e i s , i s w i l l Congress p r o v i d e

mechanism t o do i t . I s t i l l t h i n k t h e r e ' s a good chance t h e y ' l l do
it.
Now, t o go back t o t h e f i r s t q u e s t i o n you asked, t h e r e
have been tens o f m i l l i o n s o f d o l l a r s i n k i n d o f d i s i n f o r m a t i o n spent

b e l i e v e t h a t i t i s n o t r a t i o n a l f o r t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s t o be t h e o n l y
c o u n t r y i n t h e w o r l d t h a t can't f i g u r e o u t how t o guarantee h e a l t h

LIMBAUGH'S RUSH TO MIS-JUDGMENT

" I

he may have a L a r r y F l y n t problem."
A spokesman s a i d Shelby r e f u s e d t o " d i g n i f y such
comments w i t h a response." F l y n t ' s r e p r e s e n t a t i v e a l s o
was m o r a l l y o u t r a g e d by Limbaugh's remark.
" I have a f e e l i n g I know what Limbaugh i s t r y i n g t o
do, "

"He's t r y i n g t o c a s t a s p e r s i o n s on Shelby, who has
opened h i s eyes and seen r e a l i t y , " MacDonell s a i d .
"If s

MacDonell declined t o comment on whether Flynt
a c t u a l l y has anything on Shelby: "I'm not saying who
we
have things on, and who we don't, but Rush Limbaugh
i s not a part of our loop."
Flynt, of course, has promised money t o anyone
o f f e r i n g evidence of an i l l i c i t sexual f l i n g w i t h
Republicans i n Congress, and House Speaker-designate
Bob Livingston has already resigned over one such
revelation.
Shelby, i n c i d e n t a l l y , has been married t o Georgetown
U n i v e r s i t y Law School professor Annette Nevin f o r 41
years. Limbaugh's o f f i c e declined t o comment.

see him,' says h i s w i f e . 'You ought t o
know A l Gore t h e way I know him,' say i n t i m a t e f r i e n d s . ' I mean
when he's not on stage, when he's n o t
on camera, when he's n o t b e h i n d t h e microphone, he's r e a l l y ,
he's a cut-up. You wouldn't b e l i e v e t h i s

and assumes a p o s t u r e and a t t i t u d e o f
condescension, seems t o be t a l k i n g down t o p e o p l e . The Democrats

b o r i n g and s t i f f , and t u r n those i n t o

t h a t t h e p u b l i c ' s p e r c e p t i o n o f him w i l l improve as t h e y l e a r n
more about the man t h e y admired when
they worked w i t h him i n Congress. Now t h i s i s a n o t h e r t h i n g ,
he's supposed t o g e t b e t t e r . We're
supposed t o g e t t o know him a l o t , and he's o n l y been f r o n t and
c e n t e r f o r seven y e a r s . I don't know
how much more f a m i l i a r w i t h him we can g e t . But t h e y a l l
promised t h a t once we g e t t o know A l Gore,

�"LETS TAKE BACK THE

DNC SPEAKERS BUREAU/TALK RADIO
INITIATIVE
TALK RADIO
"Move over Rush Limbaugh, here conies Jon-Christopher Bua." So says The Post and
Courier, South Carolina's oldest daily newspaper, following a speakers training session Jon
recently conducted there. Indeed, Rush seems to be looking over his shoulder these days,
having several times mentioned Jon on his shows.
Speakers Training Sessions
You, too, can be part of this effort. It's easier than you think. You can even do the
interviews from your office or home. And they can be stimulating and exciting - if you know
how. Jon runs special training sessions to help you. The sessions cover many useftil points,
including the following:
* Speaking exercises
to build confidence
* How to get on Talk
Radio as a guest or a "call-in"
* How to stick to the
message
* Talking points on the
issues of the day
* How to take on hostile
hosts through role playing
* Practical tips for
your appearances.
Since this summer, Jon has conducted these sessions in the following states: New
Mexico, Maine, New York, Kentucky, Louisiana, Virginia, South Carolina, and Iowa, with the
following scheduled for the future: Arizona, Puerto Rico, California, and Florida.
Identifying Friendly Shows
During the last two years, Jon has identified more than 1,000 radio stations interested
in hosting pro-Democratic speakers and has sorted this information by state and within state, by
Congressional District and media market. Upon request, he makes this information available
to members of the Democratic family. Using this list saves you a lot of time booking speakers.
�Talk Radio Is Cost-Effective
Talk Radio is an extremely cost-effective way of reaching large numbers of registered voters.
Take for example, one well-known large-audience program on WABC which reaches 120,000 140,000 registered voters in the New York media market. Though all shows are not as big as
this one, others are much larger, especially nationally syndicated shows which may reach 5001000 stations. Getting many pro-Democratic speakers on the air is thus a good way of making
millions of voter contacts each month.
And it's virtually free. The radio stations pay the cost of the telephone interviews with the
speakers.
LIVE EVENTS
Besides training speakers to appear on Talk Radio, Jon trains them to appear at live events,
such as: Committee meetings and conventions; training seminars; media events; public events;
Town Hall meetings; and conferences.
Provides Written Briefing Materials
To supplement his coaching of speakers, Jon provides them with written materials, including
a "Call to Action" briefing book full of one-page issue briefs and written tips on how to handle
Talk Radio. Upon request, Jon will supply these materials to other members of the Democratic
family.
"Live from the DNC...It's Democrats on the Web"
Democrats on the Web reaches over 20 million Americans. Up to the minute information
on the White House, Congress, the Administration and the Cabinet can be obtained through our
page. Through the Web, we now offer a chance for direct contact with key Democratic decision
makers. Each week appointed and elected officials and political activists go on-line to talk with
you about the latest breaking events.

Radio Show - Talking Points
Prepared by Jon-Christopher Bua, Director, Speakers Bureau
HOSTS
Tips for dealing with "hostile" radio show hosts:
* Know What the Host Wants. The host wants an entertaining and lively show. You
need to project high-energy and interest in the show and that you welcome a vigorous debate.
If you are boring, the host will feel the need to "heat it up" with harsh rhetoric, rudeness, etc.
* Praise Your Host. You can defuse a hostile host in a tongue-in-cheek manner, such
as, "Come on, you're a smart guy, Bob. You have influence with thousands of listeners. They
believe what you say. Let's talk about the good things about America and what hard-working
people just like you are doingrightnow to make things better. For example, the President is
proposing that..."
* Stick to Your Central Message. Do not allow the host to side-track you. Make sure
you know your central message ahead of time, plot out your principal points and how you want
to deliver them. Do not feel you have to wait for the host to give you an uninterrupted
opportunity to rattle off your points. For example, "Now hold on, Bob. Let's get something
straight. The Administration is fighting to improve the standard of living for all Americans.
The Administration is determined to make our schools and communities safe and to preserve and
strenghten families. President Clinton believes the American Dream is for every family, and
every child and is working to provide opportunities for all Americans. Our President is
showing leadership by standing up for America, by doing what's right - not because it is easy,
1
�but because it should be done. President Clinton is working to find the common ground in
order to get beyond divisive rhetoric and take real action on the issues that are before us. This
is the great Democratic tradition and we will not turn back."
* Appeal to Fairness. You can counter hostility by appealing to the American sense
of fairness. For example, "Oh come on, Bob, you don't have to attack me/my agency/the
President/Hillary that way. Your listeners deserve better. Let's have a good, balanced debate
on the issues. Let's talk about substance. Let's talk about the issues that have a real impact on
Americans every day."
* Be Prepared for Obscure Facts. Some hosts may try to slam you with obscure facts
or conspiracy theories. For example, the host tells you that the U.N. is organizing tank
battalions in Mississippi to overthrow the Constitution. You can respond, "That's not my area
of expertise but it sounds awfully far-fetched. But, speaking of the United Nations, the
President has taken the lead in better using the U.N. to save starving children in..." The key
is that you can always just change the subject. For example, "Bob, that's aridiculousquestion.
Here's something you listeners may really want to know..." If the host says that you're ducking
the question, answer that, "Well, Bob, your listeners can hear that sort of stuff from you on any
other day - when I'm not your guest on the show. I think I can give your listeners some real
substantive information. For example, did you know that..."
* You Can Bypass Your Host and Go Directly to the Listeners. By putting a human
face on the issues, cuts in child care for example, you can appeal to women with children who
are being hurt by the Republican budget cuts. Reach out to the women listeners who may not
usually call in and challenge the host to let them through the screener.
�* End on a Positive Note. No matter how painful the show was, thank the host and
say, "I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to be on your show, and believe it or not, while
we may disagree about a lot of things, it is always a pleasure to talk with people across the
country and let them know that this Administration cares about their concerns. I look forward
to being invited back on your show."
"HOSTILE" CALLERS
Tips for Democrats in handling "hostile" callers on radio shows:
* You Are Every-Democrat. If you are connected to Washington or work for the
government callers immediately identify you "as" the President, "as" the Federal Government,
"as" the embodiment of and spokesperson for the Democratic Party, and you therefore are their
target of frustrations. In this situation you speak for every Democrat. Keep your composure.
Address hostile grievances with understanding. Example, a hostile caller rants about the hard
times she is experiencing, answer her that "I know you haven't felt the impact of the economic
recovery yet. Sometimes it takes time. Did you know that the President's programs have
created over 6 million jobs in the past two years, more than double the previous four years?"
Do not just list accomplishments. You must weave them into a thoughtful, understanding answer
that demonstrates that Democrats are connected to every day concerns.
* Ask Callers Questions. You can defuse a caller's hostility by establishing a link with
him or her. Example, "Sam, do you have children? You want them to go to college, don't
you? I've had to go into debt to put my kids through school, too. It isn't easy. Let me assure
you, the President cares about children because they are our future. In fact, the President is
making college loans more affordable to middle class Americans, he is working on getting all
�of our kids immunized against disease," etc. Demonstrate that you care about the caller beyond
his or her vote and that you can identify with core concerns.
* Stick to Your Topic. If callers go on tirades about an obscure or absurd issue, tell
them that you came on the show to talk about substantive issues in your area of expertise and
ask the host to direct the conversation back to substance and maintain the dignity of the
conversation. "I really am unfamiliar with that allegation. Honestly, it sounds like someone
just made it up as a joke. I was invited on this program to talk about substance, about jobs, like
the fact that the President's proposals will..." The bottom-line is that you can control the
debate if you are polite but assertive. Callers and hosts will walk all over you only if you
let them.
* Heated Debate is OK. You can have a "hot" discussion about sensitive issues without
losing control. For example if a caller raises a "hot" topic in reference to the President, you
can answer, "I understand that the President is a deeply religious man and he is a regular
church-goer. He is the President because he wants to improve the lives of every American and
I am very proud to serve him." In this way you can defend the President and Democrats
without seeming to be defensive.
�"Calling In" to Radio Talk Shows"
Most TALK RADIO shows have call-ins. Even if you are not an invited guest on a show you
can still get the Democratic messsage across by calling in (and the tips above on dealing with
"hostile hosts" may still apply to your situation). Getting on the air as a caller in the first place,
however, involves some strategy. Getting on the air on a popular TALK RADIO show involves
two phases: beating the crowd and getting past the screener.
Beating the crowd. Popular shows will provoke many callers and it may be difficult to get
through. Here are a few techniques which will improve your chances:
•
Call early in the show, before the crowd reacts to the tenor of the show and
decides to call in.
•
For the same reason, call early in a discussion, before it ends.
•
As soon as you get a busy signal, quickly hang up and dial again. A telephone
with a redial feature facilitates this. You may have to call 6-7 times or more to
get through.
•
If the line doesringbut no one answers for a while, do not be discouraged. Stay
on the line. You are actually closer to getting your call answered than if you hang
up, redial and get a busy signal.
Getting by the screener.
Once your call is answered, you may have to satisfy a screener that
you are acceptable to the host. Here are some tips:
•
Complement the show.
•
When asked what you want to discuss, do not lie, but on the other hand make
your reservations about the host seem bland. A caller who successfully got by
�the Rush Limbaugh screneer said, " I am calling because I like the show, but I
think that sometimes Rush attacks people's religion and patriotism."
Sound dumb. Even though you may have indicated a difference of opinion with
the host, appear to present an opportunity for him to demolish you with his
"superior" intelligence. Once you get on the air, you can really unload.
Be prepared to wait in line. You may have to wait on hold for an hour before
getting on the show.
�PRACTICAL TIPS FOR RADIO
1.
Be at your desk at the time the host is scheduled to call. Obviously, it is crucial that the
host has the correct telephone number.
2.
Make sure that the host announces on the air what your title is and what topic you are
to speak about. If he/she doesn't, do it yourself. If your name is difficult to pronounce, make
sure the host gets it right.
3.
Conversely, know the host's name. Say, "Hi, Bob, it's a pleasure to be on your show."
4.
Know how long you are scheduled to be on the air. If the show is going really well the
host or producer may ask you to stay on longer. It's your choice.
5.
Keep in mind that you can do a show from any telephone. The host cannot see you.
You can spread as many notes out on your desk as you like. Use the Speakers Bureau "CALL
TO ACTION" binder of information (available from the DNC) and tab it by issue area so you
can cite hard facts on the air on the budget, crime, jobs, etc.
6.
Use the daily newspaper. Quote the President and other pro-Democratic sources.
Remember, many Americans do not read the newspaper and only get their news from TALK
RADIO. Use your chance to educate them.
7.
Make sure you know and support the Administration's position on specific issues if you
answer in detail. If you are unsure about an issue or a fact, just say so and move on, or you
can ask for a caller's name and address and offer to send him/her the information requested.
8.
Last, but not least, remember that practice makes perfect. It may take a few shows for
you to become comfortable in the TALK RADIO format. You may want to start with a show
that isn't nationally syndicated or in a big market. And, most of all, have fun!!!!
GOOD LUCK!
�DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
TALK RADIO INITIATIVE
The following document lists radio stations in the State of Iowa which have expressed interest
in the Democratic message. The stations are sorted by all media markets within each
congressional district, with major market stations listed in bold print.
If a radio station is not listed, it is either because it did not have a Talk Radio format, was too
small, or was not interested in coordinating guests through us.
Preceding each congressional district radio talk-show breakdown is election result information
supplied by the National Committee for an Effective Congress. It consists of three
things:
* Election returns for the most recent congressional race for all candidates.
* Democratic Performance (DP). This is an average percent of the vote
Democratic candidates (not just congressional candidates) have received over the
last few election cycles in that district.
* Each presidential candidate's percentage of the 1992 vote.
Note: The DP has not been updated to reflect the 1994 results. When this information is
available, we will substitute it for the current figures.

�ABORTION
Talking Points
Democratic National Committee
Issue:
Republican party platform supports a Constitutional amendment abolishing
abortion in every instance.
•
Abortion rate has fallen since President Clinton took office.
•
WH directive, issued in 12/93, requires states to pay for Medicaid
abortions for poor women in cases of rape and incest.
•
Under current policy embryos may not be created for research purposes.
•
Cutting Title X would eliminate family-planning services, including
contraceptives and medical care, to more than 4 million women at 4,200
clinics nationwide.
•
Reps:
Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare.
•
Dems:
•
Abortions should be reduced by promoting abstinence, reducing out-ofwedlock births, and promoting adoption.
•
House Repubs propose to ban military personnel and their dependents from
obtaining abortions at overseas military facilities, even if they pay for them.
•
House voted to retain a provision that would allow states to deny Medicaid
funding for abortions for poor women in cases of rape and incest.
•
Appropriations measures included a rider banning all forms of
embryo research.
•
Proposed to abolish Title X, the federal government's principal
family-planning program, and transfer the funds to block grants.
•
House passed a bill that allows federal grants to medical schools that are
not accredited because they do not provide abortion training. This measure
was directed at a new rule passed in 2/95 by the Accreditation Council of
Graduate Medical Education to deny accreditation to any ob/gyn residency
program that does not provide abortion training.
•
Proposed preventing coverage of abortion procedures for federal
employees.
�BOSNIA
Talking Points
Democratic National Committee
Issue:
America will provide about 20,000 troops which is Vaof the total Bosnia
Peace Implementation Force (IFOR)
American troops are not going to Bosnia to fight a war. They will help
supervise the separation of forces and uphold the cease-fire. American troops
will be under the command of an American general.
The entire mission will last about one year. Americas's mission is limited to
helping to provide a secure environment for the Bosnians to begin rebuilding
their nation. American troops will not be part of a police force or a nationbuilding force.
Dems:
President Clinton's leadership brought the parties from the battlefields to the
negotiating tables in Dayton. Now we must help secure the peace his
leadership has helped to create.
If America abdicates its responsibility to peace in Bosnia, American leadership
will be weakened throughout the world.
Reps:
President Bush ignored conflict. Many Republicans advocate no U.S.
involvement.
•
•
Debate:
Oppose U.S. participation in international peacekeeping efforts.
Have opposed President's initiatives without presenting policy alternatives.
•
Stability in Europe is vital to American security and prosperity. Bosnia is in
the heart of Europe. It borders key allies andfragilenew democracies. If the
fighting resumes, the war could easily spread.
WWII shows the danger of turning our back on a conflict in Europe. By
acting now to help secure the Peace Agreement, we are taking steps to
prevent a much more devastating conflict.
�ECONOMY
Talking Points
Democratic National Committee
Issue:
Republicans have chosen an arbitrary number of years (7) to balance the
budget. This requires unnecessary cuts in critical investment areas such as
education, training, and health and environmental protection. Many savings
from cuts are not applied to the deficit but rather to tax cuts for the wealthy
and big business.
•
Created over 7 million new jobs. 1.5 million new homeowners. 1.5 million
new small businesses.
•
The deficit is down 3 years in a row. First time this has happened since
President Truman. Core inflation is down.
•
Unemployment is down to 5.6% from 7% when Republicans last controlled
the White House.
•
President understands that not all Americans have felt the benefits of these
successes. The median wage has dropped 1%, and people feel insecure about
their jobs.
•
We cannot afford to cut education and job training. We must invest in people
now to ensure more jobs and higher wages in the future.
•
Reps:
Economy has improved during the Clinton Administration. We can balance
the budget without jeopardizing economic recovery or investments for the
future.
•
Dems:
•
Democrats are working for a high wage, high growth, high opportunity
future: not a hard luck, lower wage, insecure future for working families.
•
GOP will give tax breaks to those who do not need them andfinancethe tax
cuts with cuts in education and job training.
•
The average tax cut for the wealthiest 1 % of Americans would be $20,000 a
year!
•
Millions of working families would get tax increases as Republicans slash the
Earned Income Tax Credit.
�MEDICAID
Talking Points
Democratic Nafional Committee
Issue:
•
Republicans want to cut Medicaid by $182 billion, largely tofinancea tax
break for the rich. According to the President, these cuts are more than 3
times what is necessary.
Dems:
•
President proposes to reform Medicaid by saving $54 billion in spending over
7 years.
•
Eliminate unnecessary federal strings on states by allowing them to pursue
service delivery innovations without seeking federal waivers.
•
Limit growth in federal Medicaid spending for each beneficiary, so that states
do not need to reduce coverage to achieve savings.
•
Protect against raising the number of uninsured, thus avoiding increases in
uncompensated cases and cost shifting.
•
President, as part of his health reform initiative, also supports improvements
in general health insurance, including guaranteeing affordable health insurance
for the unemployed, children, small businesses through purchasing co-ops, and
those who have pre-existing conditions.
•
Cut Medicaid funds to states by $ 182 billion below projected growth rates.
•
By 2002 eliminate coverage for 4.4 million children, more than 900,000
seniors, and 1.4 million people with disabilities.
•
Wipe out quality standards for nursing homes and institutions caring for the
mentally retarded. Protectionfrombankruptcy for elderly spouses of nursing
home residents would be eliminated.
•
Veiled their plan in the massive budget reconciliation process in hopes of
blurring the issue. Planned very few public hearings in hopes of avoiding
public scrutiny.
Reps:
�MEDICARE
Talking Points
Democratic National Committee
Issue:
After 2002, Medicare Trust Fund is insolvent. Republicans proposing $270
billion in cuts that go far beyond restoring the fund to financial health.
Dems:
Reduce Medicare spending by $124 billion over 10 years, less than V of the
2
Republican cuts.
Ensure Medicare Trust Fund solvency through 2005 with no new beneficiary
cuts.
Add new prevention and long-term care benefits while creating more plan
choices for beneficiaries.
Aggressively pursuefraudand abuse.
Reps:
•
Veiled their plan in the massive budget reconciliation process in hopes of
blurring the issue. Planned very few public hearings in hopes of avoiding
public scrutiny.
Call their cuts "increases". Would hold payment increases to $6,700 per
beneficiary from current $4,800, which is $1,000 less than what the private
industry growth will be.
By 2002, Medicare recipients will actually receive $1,700 less in benefits; see
their deductibles double; have to pay increased premiums; and have their
eligibility age go up to 67.
Increase Medicare premiums by approximately $400 a year. Cause closure
of many rural hospitals. 25% of Medicare beneficiaries live in rural areas.
Will also cause constraints on teaching and research hospitals and training of
new physicians.
Debate:
Not one penny of Repub premium increases would go back into the Medicare
Trust Fund. Instead it goes into the general fund to pay for the wealthy's
$245 billion tax cut. This is the largest cost shift of resources away from the
middle class and elderly poor in 30 years.
�WELFARE REFORM
Talking Points
Democratic National Committee
Issue:
•
Returning flexibility for welfare to the states.
Dems:
•
Have approved 32 individual state experiments. More recent states include,
California, Texas, Utah, W. Virginia. A waiver system ensures a measure of
federal oversight for each experiment.
•
President proposes to allow states to experiment with their programs to find
solutions. States could receive waivers from federal requirements to conduct
their experiments. He believes, however, that there must be some limits on
block grant funding. Limits would ensurefiscallytroubled states use money
solely for welfare programs and don't apply federal welfare money to other
state budgetary concerns.
•
Allow states to deny food stamp increases to welfare receiptiants who lose
their benefits because they refuse to take a job.
•
Recommend that states:
1. Require participants to work but provide adequate child care.
2. Limit the amount of time people can collect welfare, provided that
jobs are available to those willing to work.
3. Force fathers to pay child support.
4. Use welfare benefits and food stamp grants as cash
subsidies to employers who hire welfare recipients.
Reps:
•
Block grants would eliminate requirements that states continue current levels
of spending on the poor. In a recession, states could reallocate the monies to
other projects.
•
Reps propose to eliminate federal control of welfare and tender non-restrictive
block grants to states to create individual welfare programs.
•
House Republicans have proposed cutting off cash benefits to unmarried
teenage mothers.
�TALKING POINTS ON BUDGET
January 11, 1996
1. The GOP is now showing its true colors. They're on a holy war to dismantle the New Deal
and take money away from the elderly, the disabled and the poor, just so they can cut taxes for
their rich friends. President Clinton won't let them do it.
2. For months the GOP harped on the necessity of enacting right now a balanced budget within
7 years, as certified by the Congressional Budget Office.
3. They said this was so important that it was worth shutting down the federal government which cost the taxpayer more than a billion dollars in back wages for work never done.
4. They've even been willing to risk the U.S. Government defaulting on its debt. And when
Treasury Secretary Rubin tries to avert default, they talk about impeaching him.
5. But when the President submits a balanced budget plan meeting their criteria, Newt Gingrich
tells the country it is unlikely there be a balanced budget deal this year after all. Why?
6. Because the President called the GOP bluff. The GOP doesn't just want any balanced
budget, they want THEIR balanced budget. This isn't about overall budget figures. It's about
ideology. It's the classic difference between Democrats and Republicans and polls show the
public supports the President on this 2 to 1.
Here's the radical GOP plan:
* Cut Medicare by way more than is necessary to make the Medicare Trust Fund
solvent.
* Turn Medicaid back to the states - even though many of the states can't afford to pay
for adequate medical care.
* Cut EPA funds which would be used to ensure clean air, clean water, and clean up
toxic waste dumps.
* Cut student loans. Our young people need to be educated to compete in a global
economy and the student loan program makes it possible for millions of them to get an
education.
* Increases taxes for low and moderate income working families earning under $30,000
a year.
* Grant a massive $245 billion in tax cuts over 7 years, exploding to $400 billion over
10 years because key provisions are written to expand dramatically after 7 years. Nearly half
the tax cuts go to the top 12% - those with incomes above $100,000. The top 1 % - those with
incomes over $349,000 - would receive a $8,500 a year tax cut.

�PRESIDENT CLINTON'S STATE OF THE UNION: AMERICA'S CHALLENGE
The American people should have a sense of realistic optimism about
the progress America is making. We are moving in the right
direction; we have more to do; and if we come together as a nation,
we can meet our challenges.
The President will deliver the State of the Union next Tuesday,
January 23, 1996 at 9:00 pm in the Capitol. He will challenge the
American people to come together as a nation and face the future
together. The President will talk about the big concerns facing our
people, and show in concrete ways how Americans working together can
meet our challenges.
Everyone must do their part. If we are going to seize the promise
of our times, we must all work together. Not government alone. Not
individuals alone. The President will talk about what we as a nation
can accomplish together. He will call on every one of us: as
parents and children, as employers and employees, teachers and
students, community leaders and community members, as government and
as citizens. We can only meet the challenges of this new time
together.
The President will address a number of challenges we must meet
together, including:
Balancing the budget. As the President prepares the State of the
Union, he is working hard on the first of these challenges: a
seven-year balanced budget that upholds our values. It is within our
grasp. With his plan, certified by Congress' own economists,
Democrats and Republicans have already agreed on enough cuts to
balance the budget in seven years and give working families a modest
tax cut.
Crime. Our progress: The crime rate is declining. Murders are down
12%, robberies are down 10% and car theft is down 5%. Over 45,000
fugitives and felons have been blocked from buying handguns because
of the Brady Bill. The assault weapons ban outlawed 19 of the
deadliest assault weapons. America's challenge: To keep all our
citizens safe from crime, violence, and drugs.
Children and education. Our progress: More of our students are going
to college and fewer students are dropping out of high school.
America's challenge: To renew our schools so every American child
has the chance to get the best possible education for the 21st
century. At the same time, we must protect our children from
�violent and harmful influences.

inflation since 1968. 7.7 million new jobs in the last three years.
Revitalized auto and construction industries: 700,000 new
construction jobs after losing 800,000 jobs in the four years before
President Clinton. America's challenge: To make sure hard work still
pays, and all Americans have the tools to be winners of economic
change.
The World. Our progress: From Haiti to Northern Ireland, from the
Middle East to Bosnia, America is leading the world towards peace
and freedom. America's challenge: To keep America the strongest

SELECTED CLINTON ADMINISTRATION
ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR HTV/AIDS
The creation of the Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP) to coordinate the national
response to HIV/AIDS.
Increases in FY 1994 funding: 9% for prevention activities at the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC); 21.2% at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where AIDS
related research is conducted; 66.5% increase for treatment and services through the Ryan
White CARE Act.
The signing of the NIH Revitalization Act of 1993, which will coordinate the monies allocated
for HIV/AIDS, coupled with the creation of the Office of AIDS Research and the appointment
of Dr. William Paul as its director.

development and encourage government-private collaborative efforts.
Implementation of a Presidential Directive mandating training for the three million federal
employees, including instruction for employees and supervisors about AIDS 101, basic HIV
sensitivities, non-discrimination guidelines and progressive workplace policies.
The development and implementation of the CDC Community Planning Process intended to
establish partnerships at the state level between the community and government setting
priorities for prevention activities to be conducted locally with federal funding.
The introduction of President Clinton's Health Security Act which will provide guaranteed
health benefits for all Americans that can never be taken away, regardless of their HIV status.
The launch of the national Preventive Marketing Initiative, consisting of a public information
campaign and the creation of a national partners group. The message is aimed at providing
necessary information to 18-25 year olds to protect them from HIV infection. In addition,
ONAP lent its support to the Country AIDS Awareness Campaign targeted at rural
Americans.
Continuation and expansion of strong partnerships between ONAP and various religious,
community and business organizations.

National HIV Action Agenda
April
1994
INTRODUCTION
From the National AIDS Policy Coordinator
x
The National HIV Action Agenda i s a leadership statement.
I t has been developed by the Office National AIDS Policy to give
direction to our overall national effort to end the HIV/AIDS
epidemic; the epidemic some have called the health c r i s i s of our
times. The action steps described within provide guidance and
markers for the nation. The action steps are a c t i v i t i e s the
nation can begin within a six-month horizon. Many are long-term
or continuous, while others are short-term or immediate.
In the next iteration of the National HIV Action Agenda many of
the action items w i l l have been accomplished.
New goals w i l l be
substituted for goals attained or goals no longer appropriate as
the epidemic and our a b i l i t y to respond to i t continually change.
The commitment to provide the continuing national leadership
necessary to end the epidemic i s something t h i s Administration
takes very seriously. When President Clinton appointed me, he
said "AIDS i s t e r r i f y i n g . I t i n f l i c t s tragedy on too many
families. But ultimately, i t i s a disease; one we can
defeat...with commitment and courage and constancy, and with
vocal and responsible leadership from our nation's government."
The National HIV Action Agenda i s organized into three areas for
action: research, service, and prevention. I n the day-to-day
work of addressing the epidemic, however, the d i s t i n c t i o n between
these areas i s often blurred. I t i s only by coordinating efforts
in a l l the areas and by focusing on common goals that we optimize
our chances of ending t h i s epidemic. I t i s incumbent upon
everyone to understand that t h i s epidemic i s a national problem
and i t w i l l take a national and unified effort to end i t .
In 1993, 104,468 new cases of AIDS were reported nationally. In
the United States, the virus has flourished i n disenfranchised,
disadvantaged, and marginalized populations. I t i s associated
with some behaviors that are i l l e g a l and others which are

�considered to be inappropriate by many. By doing so, the v i r u s
i t s e l f has managed to dilute the nation's a b i l i t y to coalesce in
common purpose. This document attempts to bring the nation's
attention to the r e a l issues: What should we do? What can we
do? Where do we go from here?
Also, as a member of the world community,

The arrangement of three primary areas i s not meant to give
special emphasis to one over another. Research findings are the
foundation for action. The National HIV Action Agenda attempts
to drive the nation to resolve questions of cure and prevention,
of drugs and behavior, by suggesting steps to enhance the
organization of the effort and to improve communications among
researchers engaged in the effort, between researchers and care
givers, and between researchers and the prevention effort.
Service action steps aspire to better ensure that
families affected by HIV can receive the care and
need, that effective therapies are available, and

In the prevention area the Action Agenda seeks to better focus
efforts to interrupt transmission of the v i r u s by improving the
educational effort, improving the focus and enhancing efforts to
reduce the risky behaviors associated with transmission, and by
increasing the application of the science base in planning and
program implementation.
The President and I are committed to the requirement that
everyone affected be given "a seat at the table." Throughout the
document, s p e c i f i c action steps to f a c i l i t a t e cooperation and
leadership are stated.
With everyone's help, we can stop AIDS.

challenges s t i l l t o be faced by research i n t o the Human
Immunodeficiency V i r u s (HIV) disease and the Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) are profound. While progress has been
made i n many areas, there has been a recent lack of s i g n i f i c a n t
c l i n i c a l advances i n the treatment and p r e v e n t i o n of the

there i s a great need t o search f o r c r e a t i v e ways t o maximize

Goal C:
Obstacles to the development of an HIV/AIDS prophyl a c t i c vaccine identified and removed.
Action ( C . l ) :
U t i l i z i n g existing reports and ongoing discussions, develop consensus
and, when appropriate, design and
implement l e g i s l a t i v e or administrat i v e solutions to address the obstac l e s to vaccine development.
Commentary:
A number of governmental and non-governmental

Action ( E . l ) :
Develop and implement an affordable
universal health insurance plan
which w i l l provide coverage for HIV/AIDS related physical and mental
health services, including substance
abuse treatment.
Commentary:
Populations who may t r a d i t i o n a l l y have had l i t t l e
or no access to health care have been disproportionately impacted
by the epidemic. This lack of access may be due to reasons of
finance or to actual and perceived discrimination. By providing
a universal health care plan, the nation w i l l be better able to
address the needs of people l i v i n g with HIV/AIDS.
Action (E.2):
Encourage individuals to ascertain
their HIV status and ensure appropriate linkages to treatment and
services are available for those who
test positive.
Commentary:
Many individuals l i v i n g with HIV are not aware of
t h e i r serostatus. Counseling and testing programs must include
outreach to individuals who may engage i n high r i s k behavior to
encourage them t o ascertain t h e i r HIV status. Counseling and

Public Health Service, constituent
groups, aud members of affected communities to ensure continuation of
the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS
Resources Emergency Act and other
federal programs which provide HIV/AIDS services to ensure that they
continue to meet the care needs of
the HIV/AIDS community.
Action (E.4):
Expand the availability of quality
mental and physical health services
for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Commentary:
People l i v i n g with HIV/AIDS are often unable to
obtain services i n many communities, p a r t i c u l a r l y i n some r u r a l
areas where they may be required to t r a v e l many miles. Much of

Commentary: Because of limited access to care, many individuals
only obtain acute care services i n emergency situations. I t i s
c r i t i c a l that HIV/AIDS-related services provide outreach t o
individuals and populations that may be d i f f i c u l t t o reach, such
as the homeless, through the t r a d i t i o n a l public health model. I t
i s c r i t i c a l that i n the creation of service delivery models,
people l i v i n g with HIV participate i n program design and
implementation.
Action (E.6):
Stimulate development and implementation of effective evaluation methodologies for service delivery programs and for comprehensive networks
of service delivery.
Commentary: In developing service delivery models, the planners
must include evaluation methodologies that are capable of
determining whether the programs are providing adequate access
and care. Federal agencies coordinating service delivery
nationally must encourage system-wide evaluation of service
delivery networks and individual programs.
Action (E.7) :
Develop appropriate information dissemination mechanisms which f a c i l i tate rapid transfer of research f i ndings, new c l i n i c a l information,
and appropriate educational material
to public and private providers of
care services.
Action (E.8):
Ensure that care guidelines and other such materials are kept current
and incorporate, at the earliest
possible time, changes in the state
of the art.
Action (E.9):
Encourage a l l appropriate agencies,
organizations, and institutions to
provide HIV/AIDS training to providers both public and private.

�Commentary:
Because people l i v i n g with HIV/AIDS and t h e i r
families experience the disease and i t s effects i n an almost
i n f i n i t e variety of ways, service needs are multiple and diverse.
In many communities, dramatic and innovative ideas have emerged
which, i f disseminated and supported, could make an enormous
difference.
Goal F:
Early intervention information i s provided to a l l those
living with HIV.
onnnniliiXJJiJ
Encourage coordination and collaboAction (F.l)
ration among federal agencies, state
and local governments, non-governmental organizations, and service
providers to provide people living
with HIV accurate and timely information about early intervention and
preventing opportunistic infections.
^ ^ FT
Commentary:
Requires increasing linkages from the counseling
and t e s t i n g f a c i l i t i e s t o service providers as well as greater
coordination between prevention and other services at the local
level.
Action (F.2):
Develop and implement programs to
inform HIV service providers on ways
to prevent opportunistic infections
and coordinate efforts with tuberculosis elimination programs at a l l
levels.
Commentary:
Primary among the opportuniatic i n f e c t i o n concerns
i s the prevention of tuberculosis, which i s posing greater
threats t o the HIV-affected community.
More than a t h i r d of the current cases of AIDS are a product of the
ongoing, companion epidemic of drug dependency and abuse. There i s
a shortage of effective treatment services and many barriers keep
substance abusers from accessing the services which do exist. Of
great concern are i n j e c t i n g drug users. While there i s universal
agreement an ideal solution l i e s i n finding ways t o interrupt
i n j e c t i o n — a n d that remains the long term commitment. However,
minimizing transmission i s the immediate problem.
Goal G:
People living with HIV/AIDS as well as people and famil i e s affected by HIV have access to a wide array of community and supportive (or enabling) services.

Stimulate and encourage appropriate
agencies to develop helpful materials describing available services so

Action (6.3)
Encourage enforcement of prohibitions against discrimination i n

Action (6.4)
nruinnams
Encourage appropriate agencies and
governments to coordinate and link
health care and supportive services
(e.g., primary
care, substance
abuse, c l i n i c a l t r i a l s , and HlV-related care).
Goal H:
That treatment protocols and supportive service needs
unique to minorities, women, adolescents, and children
receive appropriate consideration in the planning, development, and implementation of a l l service-related a c t i v i ties.
Action (H.l):
Identify the components of programs
to address the unique health care
and supportive service needs of minorities, women, adolescents, and
children living with or affected by
HIV/AIDS, and work with appropriate
agencies to incorporate these elements into relevant programs.
Commentary:
Lack of access, common t o a l l populations
disproportionately impacted by HIV/AIDS, i s more c r i t i c a l among
populations that have either lacked resources or been subjected
to discrimination. I n developing and implementing service
delivery programs, the needs of these populations must be
addressed, and, where necessary, additional resources must be
applied.
Goal I :
Updated information on HIV/AIDS management i s communicated internationally.

Commentary:
Many U.S. organizations represent ongoing projects

PREVENTION
Goal J:
Educational programs, activities, and campaigns that
provide accurate and timely information to a l l Americans
on how to prevent HIV transmission.
Commentary:
National prevention campaigns and local community

Prevention programs must provide both i n d i v i d u a l
and community-level i n t e r v e n t i o n s . Although more i n d i v i d u a l s are
being t e s t e d today than were a few years ago, counseling and

spread in the United States. We hope that you will join us for the interview so we
can discuss some of these solutions. Enclosed for your review is a press kit
providing information on Aware: HIV T^lk Radio, our national syndication plans,

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES. MONDAY, APRIL 26, 1993
AIDS Radio Show to Go JNational
By Roger Flaherty
Stall Writer
An unusual weekly radio show
on AIDS begun here last summer
is going into national syndication,
it was announced Sunday at a
benefit featuring Miss America,
Leanza Cornett.
Cornett, who has made AIDS
awareness the focus of her yearlong reign as the beauty pageant
queen, was keynote speaker at a
benefit for "Aware: HIV Talk Radio," a 30-minute program that
airs Sundays at 7 a.m. on station
W N U A - F M (95.5). Program hosts
Chris DeChant, who was diagnosed as HIV-positive in 1991,
and Sondra Roberts offer news on
legal, social and medical issues
pertaining to AIDS. A call-in segment lets listeners ask questions
about the disease.
Latest ratings ind-cated about
19,000 people a week tune in,
DeChant said.
He said Philadelphia radio station VVKDU, a full signal studentrun station, will begin carrying the
show May 19 in a program featuring an interview with Cornett.
Stations in five other cities are
negotiating to carry the show, DeChant said.
" I realized there was need for a
really easy way to get out information in an understandable format," he said. " I found that a lot
of what was out, people were intimidated by or confused."
Shows in the past year have
focused on topics such as what
college students are saying about
_ AIDS and how churches in the
black community are reacting to
J the epidemic.
Obviously, DeChant said, the
program draws large numbers of

listeners who are HIV-positive or
members of at-risk groups. However, he said, the audience is wideranging. For instance, the show
about college students drew many
parents.
"They wanted to know what
was going on! with their kids," he
said.
More than 100 Chicago companies sought copies of a show devoted to AIDS in the workplace, he
said.
In an interview before the
luncheon, Cornett said she has
made AIDS awareness a central
topic in talks around the country.
She will speak today to students
at Drummond Elementary School,
1845 W. Cortland.
"Most of the reaction has been
very, very positive," she said.
" T h a t ' s e x c i t i n g because I
wouldn't have expected that. The
resistance that is out there is very
minimal. I've gotten letters from
people saying we don't want Miss
America talking about sex, and
that's fine. But hopefully the perception of most people about Miss
America is changing."

AIDS, HIV
& awareness
In October 1991, Christopher DeChant
was told he was infected with the human
immunodeficiency virus.
"It's hard to realize that you're hearing
something in one sentence from your doctor that is going to forever change your
life," DeChant said Thursday.
JOEL
BROWN
He was already active with AIDS organizations — "I've got a lot of friends
that are dead." But DeChant went
through most of the emotions one might
expect on first facing HIV.
"Obviously it was far from the kind of
news you want to hear, and there were
still a lot of the same kind of feelings of
fear, of 'Am I going to get sick?'... But I
think it was a little bit easier because at
least I knew there was information out
there and there were places to get help. I
might have worked through it a little faster."
But after a few months of "venting"
those feeUngs, he started to think, "I'm
here, I'm healthy, now what am I going to
do about it?"
He said, " I thought one of the ways I
could deal with it was to combine my professional background in public relations
and my interest in AIDS education. It
gave me something to focus all that energy
arid emotion on, something positive."
And so "Aware: HIV Talk Radio" was
bom. Airing Sunday mornings at 7 on
WNUA-FM (95.5), the half-hour show offers news updates, studio interviews and a
listener call-in segment, each developed to
help Chicagoans deal with the medical,
emotional and social issues surrounding
HIV infection and AIDS.
Chicagoan DeChant is the co-host,
along with former WLUP radio producer
Sondra Roberts of Carol Stream.
"We met through a mutual friend. I
was specifically hoping to find a female cohost, to make sure we presented other
viewpoints. She's heterosexual, not infected, married and she lives in the suburbs.
... We kind of balance each other out,"
DeChant, who describes himself as bisexual, said with a laugh.
^
Topics of recent programs have included everything from HIV in the workplace
to the "hidden epidemic" of AIDS among
women and "AIDS and Your Dentist:
How to Be Safe." But the hosts work hard
to steer clear of the political agendas driving many AIDS groups, i n d u i n g gay
rights.
"We're not doing news stories on gays
and the military, because that's not our
focus. People are like, 'Oh, you're a gay

and lesbian talk show!' And we're not. We're about
health issues and medical issues. ... The program
needed to be, politically, like Switzerland. We present you with various sides of the information and
let you dedde. Sometimes we try to find a middle
ground where people can take another step, get
more information or agree to work with each other."
WNUA and Station Manager John Gehron deserve a lot of credit, DeChant said, for agreeing to
air "Aware" as a public-service program, while
many other Chicago stations were lukewarm at
best.
The show debuted last August 2; the 40th episode airs Sunday. "Aware" will soon begin airing in
Philadelphia, and stations in Atlanta, Minneapolis
and other dtdes are discussing it as well.
For many people with HIV and AIDS, their attitude toward the disease may help determine how
well they cope with it and perhaps even how long
they survive. That makes "Aware" especially important to them, DeChant said.

" I hope by having these people on the air, somebody listening at home might have that same snap
and think, if they can do it, so can I . "
DeChant is still asymptomatic, although bloodcell counts show dearly that the virus is affecting
his body.
" I think we have kind of made a dent in the iceberg," he says of "Aware." "But there's a lot of
work to go! I wish I could say we're having a guest

Weekly Talk Radio
Program on HIV/AIDS
Issues Begins Local
Broadcast
Chicago, — Aware: HIV Talk Radio, the nation's
only weekly talk radio program dedicated to HIV/AIDS
legal, medical and social issues, will air its first Philadelphia broadcast on WKDU 91.7 on Wednesday, May 19th
at 11:300 a.m. The show currently airs in Chicago and is
beginning its national syndication with the City of Philadelphia.
WKDU 91.7 is a community-based full signal station
with a progressive, alternative rock/ethnic talk format.
By broadcasting on Drexel University's student-operated
radio station, a very important high risk group is being
reached. Due to the broad appeal of the station and the
show's subject matter, other important groups are being
reached as well, including women, people of color, educators, parents and all people effected — directly or indirectly — by HIV disease.
Comments Chris DeChant, executive producer and cohost of Aware, "We are looking forward to a rewarding
relationship with WKDU 91.7. Together we hope to provide their listening audience and any other interested listener with new and useful information about HIV and
AIDS and how all people can learn to take care of themselves in the face of any life-threatening illness.
The 30-minute program. Aware: HTV Talk Radio, airs
every Sunday at 7 a.m. on WNUA 95.5/Chicago. First
broadcast on August 2, 1992, the show's goals are to
widely distribute timely and expert infomiation on HIV/
AIDS and health care issues in an effort to increase people's fundamental understanding of the disease and how
they cope with its effects. Hosted by Chris DeChant and
Sondra Roberts, each week the program contains an interview segment with a variety of health care experts, authors, activists, doctors, HIV-positive guests, etc. The
radio show also gives weekly "HIV News Updates," and
answers listeners' questions about HIV disease during a
program segment called "Just Ask."
Some topics previously covered by the radio program
include: How Optimism Affects Your Health, AIDS In
The Suburbs: Not In My Backyard and The Black
Church's Response to AIDS. The program will premier in
Philadelphia with an interview with AIDS activist, Leanza Cornett — Miss America 1993.
Public relations professional DeChant was diagnosed
HIV-positive in October of 1991. Sondra Roberts is a
radio/television professional and is also a producer for
the midwest bureau of "Entertainment Tonight/'
The premiere broadcast of Aware: HIV Talk Radio in
Philadelphia was made possible by a grant from
FUJ1SAWA USA, Inc., manufacturers of NebuPenl® ,
aerosolized pentamidine, for the prevention of
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.

Tax fears hurting scho
By Rick Pearson
It has long been education's predicament: The belief that people
want more money to go to public
schools, but they won't support
tax increases for them.
That dichotomy is reflected in a
new Tribune poll of voter attitudes
on what could be the most significant and costly change to the Illinois Constitution since it was ratified two decades ago.
The poll, taken Oct. 26 to 28,

indicates that the so-called education amendment, aimed at providing more state dollars for
schools by unspecified means, is
falling short of the support needed
for ratification.
But it also shows that the expensive effort by proponents and opponents to educate the public
about the amendment is having
only limited success and that ra-

role of optimism in improving
health.
Sunday's show focused on the
presidential candidate's views on the
AIDS epidemic. Next week, people
from large local firms will discuss
how employers can cope with HIV
in the workplace.
One of the most popular sessions
was one in which four college students, including two who are infected with HIV, the virus that causes
acquired immune deficiency syndrome, talked about the illness. DeChant said 24 colleges in Illinois
have asked for tapes of that session
for their college radio stations.
"Wc got students on the show,
because kids respond better when
someone their own age tells them
something," DeChant said. "Their
message was that you can still have
fun and be careful at the same time.
Taking care of yourself is cool."
One of the letters that DeChant
and Roberts say they were most
happy to receive came from the
father of a college student who
heard the show. He wrote to say
that he "usually doesn't listen to
stuff like this," but heard the show
and was going to call his daughter
and have a talk with her about
Section 2
whether she was protecting herself.
John Gehron^ general manager at
WNUA, said he was interested in
doing the show in part because it
was not being done elsewhere.
Several other radio stations also
offered to run the show, DeChant
said, but WNUA, which plays
mostly "smooth jazz," was chosen
because of the level of support the
station was willing to provide, including free air time, its history of
support for other social concerns
and the broad demographics of the
audience.
The show has been receiving
about 30 calls and letters a week.
Tapes are free, and the demand is
up to about 60 per show.
The show is funded through private donations and works in conjunction with the Test Positive
Aware Network, a Chicago-based
HIV support and information network with a monthly newsletter and
branches in 170 cities.
In the future, producer DeChant
hopes to get a better time slot and
to syndicate the show in up to 15
other cities where there are large
numbers of AIDS cases.
Roberts hopes for a live format.
"Even if at first we don't get a lot
of call-ins, people like the action of
a show really happening now," she
said. "The main thing is to reach as
many people as possible."

It is ironic that while many
presidents have remained popular doing nothing. President Clinton has been attacked for doing
what he was elected to do.
The 1992 elections were a reversal of 12 years of Republican
rule that made the rich richer,
eroded the middle class, increased the national poverty index and sent the deficit soaring.
Clinton was elected to reverse
many of those trends, to try to rebuild our economy in changing
times, and to make progress in
solving problems like the deficit,
welfare dependency, the health
care crisis and the growth in violent crime.
But while President Clinton
has been winning the legislative
war against gridlock and status
quo politics, conservatives have
been engaged in a cynical public
relations war against all things
"Clinton." Being president is extremely difficult. Probably the
most difficult job in the world.
Presidents don't start revolutions
in Rwanda, deny health-care coverage to millions or build neighborhoods under siege from violent crime. Yet they are charged
with solving these problems.
Inevitably, presidents grow and
mature as people and as leaders.
Respecting the presidency and
the president is a fundamental
component of allowing that
growth 'to take place and of ensuring stable, constructive and
effective leadership. Conservatives do great harm to the public
good when they engage in guerilla-style
personality
attacks
against the president. Let's let
the president do the job he was
elected to do.

�of Politics but Still Talking, Radio Style
By SAM HOWE VERHOVEK
DENVER, March 8 — Last year,
nearly a dozen talk-radio hosts from
around the country tried to jump
from their studios to spots in Congress, most unsuccessfully. But for
former politicians trying to vault to
the other side of the microphone, the
trip seems to be much easier.
Jjary Hart, the, former United
States Senator from Colorado, has
just.started "Heartland," a weekly
program he describes as "thoughtful" talk radio. "No screaming and
shouting," he says, just serious, indepth conversations with poets, nonfiction authors, journalists and even
an occasional politician.
Three other erstwhile Presidential
candidates, Ross Perot and former
Governors Jgrry_Brown of California and i_Po"E * wiiiw nif yirginia, have more traditional call-in
shows, with screaming and shouting.
Oliver L. North, an unsuccessful Senate candidate from Virginia last
year, joins the fray starting Monday
night, and former Gov. Lowell P.
Weicker Jr. of Connecticut is starting a program' next month from
Washington.. Mario M. Cuomo says
he too will soon have a program —
"not talk-talk, but thought-talk radio," promises the former New York
Governor.
Just why are so many former politicians getting on the airwaves?
"Because they're out of work, for
one," said Michael Harrison, editor
of Talkers, a trade publication for
the talk-radio industry.
"And two," he said, "because they
have bought into the notion that simply by being on talk radio one can
easily build a power base and exert
influence on public policy. Many of
them are in for a big surprise, because just being on the radio doesn't
guarantee those results."
To be sure, with the number of
talk-format stations having quadriila
Conti^ued on Page A15, Column 1
Continued From Page Al
pled in the last decade, many politicians contend that talk radio is an
increasingly important way to communicate and to inject their views
into the public debate.
But others are less high-minded
about it all. Talk radio, they say, is
fun. It's even liberating.
"Politics and doing talk radio are
almost at odds," said former Representative Ben Jones, who unsuccessfully tried to regain his Congressional seat In Georgia from Newt Gingrich last year and who is now an
occasional host on WGST-AM in Atlanta.
"Politicians are so unctuous as a
rule, always trying to please and not
offend," Mr. Jones said. "It's fun as
a former politician to be able to go
on. when someone calls in and you're
not worried about their vote," you
can just tell them what to do.
Just how successful these programs will be, in many cases, remains to be seen. Mr. Hart and Mr.
Wilder, for instance, are broadcast
only from stations in their home
states for now, though their programs' producers hope to syndicate
them nationally later.
Equally compelling is the question
of whether the slower-paced format
advocated by people like Mr. Hart
and Mr. Cuomo can succeed.
Mr. Hart insisted that many pe&.;
pie had told him they appreciated his
format, which so far has not included
solicitation of calls from his listeners. Having Fred holding on line
three about the deficit and June on
line six demanding to talk about the
death penalty is just too distracting,
talk about the cost of the Federal
school lunch program, prompting
this outburst from Mr. Koch: " I cannot understand why lunches cannot
be made interesting. Whoever is in
charge of the dining room should be
taken out and flogged, taken out and
flogged in front of the children."
But the very amoiguity ana complexity that many such politicians
see in the world could prove their
undoing on talk radio, a format that
thrives on quick repartee and snappy comebacks.
"Progressive politics in this country has failed to compress the message," Mr. Hart said, "and I'm not
sure that it can. Because by definition, the reformer, the progressive,
the liberal, whatever you want to call
it, doesn't see the world in blacks
and whites, but in plaids and grays.
There never is a single simple answer. It is always a set of interrelated policies."
^'-rjust think if somebody's written
a book or led a country or had an
interesting life, you ought to let him
talk about it," Mr. Hart said.
.
Mr. Hart also vehemently rejected
suggestions from some experts that
programs like his might be doomed
because however good politicians
are at talking, a good talk-radio host
also has to know how to listen.
"If I had any genius at all in
politics, and I probably didn't, it was
Ustening," he said in an interview
here. " I was a great listener."
Mr. Hart, who is now working with
an international law firm, helping,
American and European countries
to negotiate projects with foreign
governments, has had an eclectic
collection of guests in the few weeks
his program has been on the air.
But radio industry experts say

and former world leaders like Mikhail S. Gorbachev and Fidel Castro.
He said he had no problem being i
on the other side of the microphone. ;
" I love it," he said. " I love it because \
I get to ask questions that . I wish
people had asked me, in ways that I
wish they had."
Many of the recent entrants and
soon-to-be entrants into talk radio \
are Democrats — Messrs. Hart, '
Cuomo, Brown, Wilder and Jones,
for example — but Republicans are
represented with Mr. North and Patrick J. Buchanan. Mr. Weicker and
Mr. Perot are independents.
Talk radio appears to have thrived •
in part on anger, though that has
never adequately explained why
conservative-oriented programs are
more successful than those from the
other side of the spectrum. Liberals
. can get just as mad as anybody.
" I went into the Jesuit "seminary
35 years ago because I thought the
world was going to hell," said Mr.
Brown, who later emerged to become Governor of California. "It
still is."
That view helps shape his program, "We the People," which is
biased In Oakland, Calif. "Look at the
Baring's bank scandal," Mr. Brown
told a caller the other night. "And
don't blame it on that kid, Leeson.
Don't even really blame it on the
boss. Blame it on the system."
Some politicians have enjoyed
good ratings, if not nationally, then
at least with their former constituents. In the New York City, where .
former Mayors Ed Koch and David
N. Dinkins both have call-in programs, the moming "Ed Koch
Show" typically garners a 6 percent
share of all radio listeners at the
time, said Robert Unmacht, editor of
the M Street Journal, an industry
newsletter. That is roughly equal to
Rush Limbaugh's New York , share
later in the. day, though his share is
higher in other parts of the country. ]
In contrast to Mr. Hart, who tends ;
to just listen to his guests, offering
an occasional comment, Mr. Koch
regularly mixes it up with his listeners. His observations have a way of
becoming long-running monologues,;
sometimes very tenuously connect-!
ed to the caller's original question.

By D.J. Gribbin
Knowledge i a power, and the c h r i s t i a n C o a l i t i o n I s using an array oE high teciinology
products to keep you informed. Knowing what your government^fcs doing i s the key to being
e f f e c t i v e . History has shown that a group of informed g r a s s ^ p t s a c t i v i s t s i s the most
potent force i n e f f e c t i n g long terra changes i n our nation's public policy.
Laat November, the nation wicneeeed a h i a t o r l c change i n o u r f p o l i t i c a l climate. Por the
f l r a t time since 1954, Republicans gained c o n t r o l of tne House ot Representatives.
Conservative approaches t o s o c i e t a l problems w i l l receive serious consideration i n
Congress f o r the f i r s t time i n decades. The 1994 c l i m a t i c change was brought about by tens
of m i l l i o n s o f Americana who believe that government i s heading i n the wrong d i r e c t i o n , i s
too expensive, and i s i n s e n e l t i v e t o the needs of the average c i t i z e n .
Now that the public has entrusted conservatives w i t h c o n t r o l of government, we
must d e l i v e r , we cannot a f f o r d t o allow the discordant voices of the tens of thousands
of special i n t e r e s t lobbyists inside the beltway co drown out the public's c a l l f o r
a smaller government. The saying, "when you soar l i k e an eagle, you a t t r a c t hunters"
is appropriate t o the p o s i t i o n that conservative C h r i s t i a n a c t i v i s t s f i n d themselves
i n t h i s year. Now that we have made such a dramatic impact on the American p o l i t i c a l
ccana, we must take the r e s p o n s i b i l i t y f o r leadership. Unless we organize and
p a r t i c i p a t e i n government, we w i l l f i n d ourselves out i n the cold again.
The C h r i s t i a n C o a l i t i o n has dedicated 1995 as the year t o organize, t r a i n , and educate. We
cannot a f f o r d t o l e t history repeat I t s e l f and allow l i b e r a l s t o regain control of
Congress i n 1996.
The C o a l i t i o n i s coming out with a number of new products and programs to make organizing

MEMORANDUM FOR PAT GRIFFIN / SUSAN BROPHY
FROM:
KAREN HANCOX
SUBJECT: POTUS AND DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS
As we discussed, there are some areas where the POTUS can
begin t o take a more proactive r o l e w i t h Democratic Members and
seize the leadership of t h i s Party. Those areas are as f o l l o w s :
Counter to Talk Radio
As you know, Members are very concerned t h a t the Republicans
have been on the attack, unanswered, f o r years w i t h r i g h t wing
t a l k radio programs. Members would very much l i k e t o see an
a l t e r n a t i v e t o such programs.
(Pat: This i s the same t h i n g
Margolies-Mezvinsky has raised w i t h you.) I have no idea where
we stand i n t h i s process (POTUS t o l d Gejdenson t h a t he has given
t h i s thought and i s i n t e r e s t e d i n s e t t i n g up some
counterbalance), but i f there has been some a c t i o n , POTUS should
r e p o r t on where we stand on t h i s . I f no progress has been made,
POTUS can announce a team of people (say 4 people, i n c l u d i n g a
Member) t o work w i t h s p e c i f i c people w i t h expertise i n t h i s area
(say David Geffen, Steven Spielberg, whomever) t o b r i n g t h i s t o
f r u i t i o n , under a clear t i m e l i n e .
Communication
POTUS should announce h i s new communication s t r a t e g y — one
focused message a t a time — and t h a t as he t r a v e l s the country
the Democratic Member whose d i s t r i c t / s t a t e he i s i n , w i l l be t i e d
i n t o t h a t message so the Party can be speaking w i t h one voice.
Targeting Vulnerable Republicans
I n a d d i t i o n t o h i s own r e - e l e c t i o n , the POTUS needs t o l e t
the Members know he wants t o see the Democrats restored t o a
m a j o r i t y i n the House. Towards t h a t end, POTUS w i l l be
i n s t r u c t i n g h i s Cabinet Members, i n House hearings, t o make very
c l e a r the impact Contract w i t h America w i l l have on America.
(For example: A Secretary can say i n a hearing, "Rep. Horn, are
you aware t h a t a balanced budget amendment w i l l r e q u i r e a 40% c u t
i n Livermore funding?") A f t e r the Cabinet person lays out the
f a c t s , the DCCC w i l l folloW-up w i t h press releases i n t o t h a t
Republican's d i s t r i c t t o make sure his/her c o n s t i t u e n t s know
where the Republican stands on c u t t i n g v i t a l funds. We w i l l use
t h i s strategy on issue a f t e r issue — Cabinet Member w i l l "set
up" a Republican Member, DCCC w i l l take advantage of the " h i t . "
�Page 2
Increased communication from W
H
We have discussed t h i s numerous times, but we would very
much l i k e t o return t o our campaign/transition days and multifax
Democrats on the H i l l EVERY DAY t o keep them tuned into the W
H
happenings. POTUS should announce t h i s new program ( i f that i s
feasible.)
Working with Vulnerable Democrats
POTUS should make i t clear he w i l l be raising funds f o r the
D C and that since recapturing the House i s such a p r i o r i t y f o r
CC
him and so closely t i e d t o his own re-election, he w i l l be
receiving weekly reports from Frost on the progress of Members.
Frost w i l l make incumbent protection a high p r i o r i t y and POTUS
w i l l expect vulnerable Members t o follow-up on t h i s program.
Members who are not helping themselves can not expect t o receive
substantial funds from the Committee.
In addition, the POTUS should t e l l Members he i s instructing
the W and DNC t o convene a meeting with the DSCC and D C and
H
CC
campaign consultants i n key races ( l i k e Robb vs. North and
Hoagland vs. Christensen) t o review what we did r i g h t i n races
and what we did wrong (why does a Chuck Robb beat a r i g h t winger
— even with a t h i r d candidate on the b a l l o t t o drain votes from
Robb — but a Peter Hoagland can't beat a right-winger one-onone?) POTUS w i l l expect a report from t h i s meeting that can be
shared with members.

QYERVIEW
The Syndicate will bt a newly formed company that will produce a
talk show devoted to cuneru and topical political Issues (the 'Show'). What will distinguish the
Showfirmothers of its genre will be the prominence of the guests appearing on the program and
the quality qf its production, which will utilize state-of-the-art sound technology and creative
production techniques. The end result will be a program that will be highly entertaining,
iTtformative and provocative, and possessed of a sound unlike anything that currently exists in
talk radio.
Capitalizing on the contacts and experience of its host, Marjorie MargoiiesMtzvinsky - a former network news correspondent and member of Congress - the Show will
feature interviews with government officials and other politicalfiguresqf national stature, and
regular guest appearances by well-known members of the entertainment community,
IMMESL
Over the pastfive years, talk radio has become one of the fastest growing formats
in commercial radio, with thousands cf stations now offering talk programs. Two particulariy
successful genres of talk radio have emerged during this period: the so-called "shock' radio
made popular by such personalities as Howard Stem, and conservative political and news
commentary programs hosted by Rush Limbaugh, C. Gordon Uddy, Pat Buchanan and others.
Listeners who are either turned off by the extremes cf shock radio or interested
in the 'other side' of the conservative message have few choices. One alternative, National
Public Radio, lacks humor and the spark of high-profile personalities and provocative dialogue.
It also stdfersfromthe stifling effects of an aversion to criticism of political leaders and
institutions.
The Syndicate has idendfled a significant opportunity in the radio syndication
marketplace for a talk show hosted by a well-known nonconservative with proven credentials in
politics and die media who can consistently deliver lively and entertaining programming.
According to a study of talk radio conducted earlier this year by a specialty research firm, 'what
American radio audiences would probably respond to is a liberal, with a sense of humor, who
can make people think about the other side of the spectrum." Politically, the timing is perfect.
As a result of significant advances by conservative Republicans in the most recent elections and
the Republican majorities in both the House and Senate, there is a compelling need - and
excellent market - for a radio talk show that presents the 'other side. *
THE SHOW
The Show will be on the cutting edge of journalism and talk radio - often
'breaking' developing stories ~ while presenting political commentary through satire and humor.
At times serious, at times irreverent, at times downright funny — the Show will communicate
importanx information on current political topics in a manner designed to both inform and

entenm the listemg audience. The Show will not shy way from controversial top
contrary, it will cor\front such topics head on.
While having no political 'agenda," the Show will offer the listening audience a
more centrist or progressive perspective. To accomplish this objective, the Show wilt feature
interviews with government cfffcials and other prominent political figures who will discuss
political Issues cf national interest. Humor and satire will be integrated into the program
through regular appearances by celebrity guests, including such personalities as Garrison
Keillor, Al Franken, Mark Russell, Ann Richards, Click & Clack - the Tappet Brothers, Jeff
Greenfield and others, wiiose participation will keep the flow cf irtfomasion fresh end strong.'
Active participation in the program by the listening audience will be encouraged andfacilitated
through the use of a toll free telephone call-In system.
The Shaw will air daily on Mondays through Fridays, prtferabty during 'drive
time.' Each Show will last one to three hours Qnctudlng commercial breaks).

It ts anticipated that the Show will appeal primarily to males andfemales between
the ages of25 to 55 cf diverse educational and cultural backgrounds. Included within this group
are the coveted 'baby boomers' - educated and socially conscious 35- to 5d-year-olds with
substantial discretionary disposable income - who are the prime targets for advertisers and who
will be drawn to the creadvity, wit and content of the Show.
The attractive audience profile will make the Show appealing to both mainstream
and upscale marketers as well as to advertisers who directly target consumers with liberal or
progressive political views. Companies currently underwriting National Public Radio programs
also will be targeted.
Top-tier advertisers have few radio outlets to reach this highly prized audience.
Yet, these businesses boast virtually recession-proof advertising budgets. Upscale and constantly
searching for a more effective delivery system for their advertising, they are investment
companies, computer retailers and manufacturers, leisure activities marketers, credit card
companies, the travel Industry and others whose prospective clients will tune into the Show.
Mainstream advertisers will be interested In the audience that will be attracted to the Show for

The Syndicate mil be a newly formed company thai will produce a un
talk show devoted to current and topical political issues (the "Show'). What will distinguish the
Showfrom others of its genre will be the prominence of the guests appearing on the program and
the quality of its production, which will utilize State-of-the-art sound technology and creative
production techniques. The end result will be a program that will be highly entertaining,
informative and provocative, and possessed qf a sound unlike anything that currently exists in
talk radio.
Capitalizing on the contacts and experience of its host, Marjorie MargotiesMezvinsky - a former network news correspondent and member qf Congress the Show will
feature interviews with government officials and other political figures qf national stature, and
regular guest appearances by well-known members of the entertainment community,
immm
Over the pastfive yean, talk radio has become one cf the fastest growing formats
in commercial radio, with thousands of Stations now offering talk programs. Two particulari
succestfd genres qf talk radio have emerged during this period: the so-called 'shock' radio
made popular by such personalities as Howard Stem, and conservative political and news
commentary programs hosted by Rush Limbaugh. G. Gordon Uddy, Pat Buchanan and others
Listeners who are other turned off by the extremes cf shock radio or Interested
in the "othertide'of the conservative message have few choices. One alternative. National
Public Radio, lacks humor and the spark qfhigh*prqflle personaMts and provocative dialogue.
It also stdftrs from the stifling effects qf an aversion to criticism qf political leaders and
institutions.
The Syndicate has identified a significant opportunity in the radio syndication
marketplace for a talk show hosted by a well-known nonconservative with proven credentials In
politics and the media who can consistently deliver lively and entertaining programming.
According to a study of talk radio conducted earlier this year by a specialty researchfirm,'what
American radio audiences would probably respond to is a liberal, with a sense qf humor, who
can make people think about the other side of the spectrum.' Politically, the timing is perfect.
As a result qf significant advances by conservative Republicans in the most recent elections and
the Repubb'can majorities in both the House and Senate, there is a compelling need - and
excellent market -for a radio talk show that presents the 'other tide."
IHKMQW
The Show will be on the cutting edge qf journalism and talk radio - often
'breaking' developing stories - while presenting politicalcommentary through satire and humor.
At times serious, at times Irreverent, at times downright funny — the Show will communicate
important tqfbmation on current political topics in q manner designed to both inform and

How Talk Radio Gets at What's Real

and the news media. But a f t e r the b o m b i n g in
i O k l a h o m a City a week and a half ago, another
institution vied f o r a t t e n t i o n : talk radio. The result was
not only a debate about t e r r o r i s m but a renewed media
power struggle over who sets the rules of public discourse. T a l k radio, a r e m a r k a b l y self-conscious mediu m even under n o r m a l c i r c u m s t a n c e s , itself became

WASHINGTON _ As President Clinton prepares to launch what could be his last
campaign, only his famed resiliency and the turbulent state of American
p o l i t i c s give analysts cause to think he can win re-election in 1995.
Americans are searching for direction and. a new social compact in their
lives, pollsters of both parties say. Clinton is seen as caring, but to get
•re-elected he must overcome perceptions that he is indecisive and weak _ and
persuade voters that his ''new covenant' ' i s better than the GOP's Contract
with Ameri ca.
Having used the end of House Speaker Newt Gingrich's landmark ''100 days''
as an opportunity with which to claw his way-back onto the national p o l i t i c a l
stage, Clinton w i l l use the second 100 days of the 104th Congress, and beyond,
to t r y to reforge his covenant with middle-class voters, his advisers say.
Tonight the president w i l l hold a news conference at 9 p m to bolster his
.
case. Last week, Clinton opened a campaign o f f i c e , f i l e d his f i r s t statement of
candidacy with the Federal Election Commission, and began the arduous task of
raising money. Via a series of newsworthy speeches in the past 10 days, the
president has exploited the congressional recess to pre.ss his proposals.
But for the moment, Clinton remains mired at or around the 43 percent level
of support with which he claimed the White House in a three-way race in 1992.
Though he has bounced back a b i t from his low point after the Republican
triumphs in November, the president remains a wounded liberal Democrat in an
era of robust conservatism, say strategists from both parties.
''Clinton has found his footing compared to where'he was,'' G P pollster Ed
O
Goeas said. ''But, though he has been more effective, his numbers have stopped
growi ng.•
Clinton's hopes l i e i n the f i c k l e p o l i t i c a l mood of an anxious middle
class. '
Although Clinton and Gingrich offer contrasting solutions to what ails the
middle class, they are among the f i r s t of the nation'.s p o l i t i c a l leaders to
recognize that in recent years the v e r i t i e s of middle-class America have
crumbled like the Berlin Wall. Working families, tossed by the currents of the
new world economy _ their standard of l i v i n g stalled and t h e i r social compacts
shattered _ are searching to s t r i k e a new bond with their government and
business leaders.
In the 25 years after World War I I . contended presidential pollster Stanley
Greenberg, '"people knew that they were working hard for t h e i r families ...
trying to do the. right thing.'
''They had a sense that the leaders of the country had a vision, trad a
point of view, buttressed by s c i e n t i f i c knowledge that said they know how to
make the country .prosperous.'' Greenberg said. ''That was a kind of contract.''
Voters now look at the two p o l i t i c a l parties and think '"there is no
contract being offered,"' Greenberg said. Both parties have fallen into a kind
of 'disreputable parity'' in these chaotic times.
'The public is. focused on a story which has people working harder for less
money, their spouses working, having less time with the kids, the kids not
getting the direction they should be getting,'' Greenberg said. "'They are
watching violence on TV. The schools are screwed up.
"They are watching restructured industry and international competition
which puts at risk their, retirement., t h e i r health care, t h e i r family
s t a b i l i t y , ' ' Greenberg said. "'They don't know how to do.the right thing to
make sure they're more prosperous and that their families are stronger and in
safer neighborhoods.
'"And they don.'t believe their leaders know how to ensure those things,''

�Greenberg said. ''They aspire for a new contract.''
I t is no accident, then, that the dictionary defines 'covenant' _ Clinton's
word for his plan for America _ as a 'contract,' the same word Gingrich chooses
to describe his.
GOP pollster Frank Luntz says alienated middle-class Americans, angry with
both p o l i t i c a l p a r t i e s , make up o n e - f i f t h of the electorate and are crucial
swing voters.
''In 1.992; they were evenly s p l i t between Democrats and Republicans,'' Luntz
said. ''But we won two-thirds of them last year ... that's how you go to a
net gain of 52 seats.' I f they stay Republican in 1996, then i t is a Republican
who assumes the White House in 1997.''
To these voters Gingrich and his fellow Republicans i d e n t i f y ''the welfare
state'' as the source of the nation's problems, and o f f e r them a ''contract''
to dismantle the swollen federal government so that i n i t i a t i v e and s k i l l can
again be rewarded by resurgent American capitalism.
Pollsters l i k e Greenberg and Luntz agree that the public has given the
Republican Congress high marks for t r y i n g to keep i t s promises. ''The basis of
t h i s contract i s very important in a cynical America,'' Goeas s-aid. " ' I t i s
extremely important in t h i s environment that p o l i t i c i a n s follow through.''
The nascent public debates on tax reform and a f f i r m a t i v e action, say Goeas
and Luntz, w i l l add to the Republican advantage that gives GOP front-runner
Sen. Robert Dole a lead over Clinton in most public opinion polls.
Goeas wonders, '"Are people even listeining to B i l l Clinton?'' The
president's negatives may be so ingrained in the public mind that a l l
Republicans may haye to do i s remind voters of them ''and i t ' s over,'' said
Goeas.
Clinton, for his part, has a more positive vision, He singles out the newworld economy as the source of the problem, and asks Americans to j o i n in a
covenant with a '"lean, but not mean' government that w i l l equip them to
compete with schooling and s k i l l s , and buffer them from vagaries.
The Republicans have f a i l e d to make a key dist-inction. Hart and Greenberg
contend, between programs that the public views as worthy, such as college
loans, ''Sesame Street'" and school lunches, and the ones i t views as wasteful,
such as welfare. The GOP assault on social programs has also rekindled h i s t o r i c
concerns that i t i s the party of the rich and powerful:
Democrats say the GOP has handed Clinton an opening t o ' e x p l o i t i n these
turbulent times, p a r t i c u l a r l y i f there i s a t h i r d - p a r t y candidate i n 1996
''Voters are f i r m l y against cuts i n education and .college loans f o r a good
reason. This is not some abstract concept; They think i t pays o f f f o r t h e i r
families r i g h t now,'" Greenberg said. ''And siashing Medicare and undercutting
retirement at a time when people are enormously worried that this new economy
is threatening pensions and the Social Security system?
''These are massive cuts at programs that are central to the way people hope
t o survive and s t a b i l i z e their l i v e s i n a new economy,"' he said.

Republicans could have a lot of fun

fund-raiser at Steven Spielberg's
home, where Hollywood couples paid
$50,000 each to dine with Bill and
Hillary Clinton, listen to Robin Wil
liams's shtick and chow down or
populist vittles like fried chicken
What more perverse weekend tt
schedule such an event than the one
in which the President ended his 100day silence to re-emerge as the
champion of the middle class?
Awkward as this symbolism was,
even more embarrassing is how little the Democrats have to show for
their ostentatious synergy with the
most powerful arid imaginative
minds in the pop-culture industry.
Bill Clinton may draw campaign
checks from the DreamWorks moguls, but it is the G.O.P. that cannily
milks the machinery of the. mass
media to pound out its message.
"We're tin cans, and string by
-comparison," said Senator Christopher Dodd in a conversation last
month shortly after he and some
Democratic colleagues emerged
shell-shocked from a private multimedia presentation of the G.O.P.'s
communications prowess, When the
Republican Party wants to speak, it
not only exploits the electronic
megaphones of blast faxes, the Internet and the many Limbaugh dittoheads of talk radio, but also its own
weekly TV series, "Rising Tide," its
own daily "Today" show (Pat Robertson's allegedly nonpartisan "700
Club") and its own unofficial 24hour-a-day TV network, NET.
Don't snicker at G.O.P. TV. Slick
and well financed, it will outlast
CBS's prime-time schedule. "Rising
Tide," which is now seen on the WOR
superstation and has a potential of 55
million viewers, is a faux-news talk
show that is less irritating than some
of its Sunday morning counterparts.
The anchor and "managing editor"
is none other than the Republican
chairman, ol' Haley Barbour, whose
unflappable folksiness suggests Dan
Rather on Prozac. The easy-listening guests include the House's new
budget czar, John Kasich, who jokes
that "Elvis is in fact a Republican,"
and majority whip Tom DeLay, who
raises questions like "What is Chelsea going to ask President Clinton
when she can't buy a house because
she's spending 84 percent of her income to pay off his joyride?"
NET — which now refers to itself
as the "political news talk network,"
not National Empowerment Television — is more polished than C-Span

and is pitched to the same newsjunkie audience. Its propaganda is
subtle. In one recent "news" segment, the only Democratic Con.gressmen seen complaining about
the Contract With America were minorities — presumably representing
special interests. In an episode of
. "The Progress Report," co-host
Newt Gingrich bantered about the
Internet with the Librarian of Congress, James Billington. Since their
conversation was both informative
and non-ideological — and since the
professorial Mr. Billington paid fTOute to the Speaker — the show made

RE:
Norm Pattiz Radio Initiatives
DATE:
July 6, 1995
Yesterday I talked with Norm Pattiz, with whom you had a discussion on the flight from
San Francisco to Portland last week. He indicated that the conversation went well. As a result,
the following actions are contemplated.
First, on August 1, Dirk Van will begin a series of radio commentaries that will include
both news and opinions about public policies. His five-minute program will be carried on the
NBC Radio Network five days a week (Monday-Friday) on 225 radio stations. It will be a part
of the NBC Radio Network's First Light program each moming. Norm has sent an audition tape
that illustrates the kind of commentary that Dirk will do. Harold Ickes has a copy of the tapeSecond, Norm is moving directly with Frank Greeftoset up the Presidential Radio Town
Hall with you and Larry King. He indicated that there are four possible dates; Tuesday or
Wednesday, August 15 or 16, or Wednesday or Thursday, August 23 or 24. This is being
managed by the White House staff directly with Larry King's people.
Jhird, we are beginning to recruit several public personalities (some political, some not
political) who will do a series of two to three-minute commentaries on subjects relevant to their
careers and interests. These commentaries will address significant public policy issues and will
contain a political message. Plans are to use these commentaries by these public personalities
in much the same way as we will use the Dirk Van commentaries. They will be in addition to
the Dirk Van commentaries, not in place of them.
If we get all three of these initiatives in place, we will have the beginning of an antidote
to the right-wing talk shows. One of the interesting features of what Norm Pattiz is doing is
running these programs on radio stations with different formats — music, news, sports, etc. and not head-to-head with theright-wingtalk shows. Doing this will reach a different audience,
one that is more persuadable than the right-wing talk show listeners.

Here's an interesting option. CNN would like to video tape the entire program and run
it in King's regular time period, 3 hours later. This would certainly extend the reach,
and not interfere with the concept of "The Radio Town Meeting" since we would be live
taking calls, faxes, Internet, etc., and they would essentially be re-broadcasting on

Hall with you and Larry King. He indicated that there are four possible dates; Tuesday or
Wednesday, August 15 or 16, or Wednesday or Thursday, August 23 or 24. This is being
managed by the White House staff directly with Larry King's people.
Xhird, we are beginning to recruit several public personalities (some political, some not
political) who will do a series of two to three-minute commentaries on subjects relevant to their
careers and interests. These commentaries will address significant public policy issues and will
contain a political message. Plans are to use these commentaries by these public personalities
in much the same way as we will use the Dirk Van commentaries. They will be in addition to
the Dirk Van commentaries, not in place of them.
If we get all three of these initiatives in place, we will have the beginning of an antidote
to theright-wingtalk shows. One of the interesting features of what Norm Pattiz is doing is
running these programs on radio stations with different formats - music, news, sports, etc. ~
and not head-to-head with theright-wingtalk shows. Doing this will reach a different audience,
one that is more persuadable than theright-wingtalk show listeners.

The Democratic National Committee Talk Radio Project
Repon by Lesley Gold, DNC Radio Department
with Ed Lazarus & Ellen Ratner
/OVERVIEW
As our Republican counterparts have united in a coordinated effort to control talk radio, our
frustration has grown. They have poured big dollars and personalities into this effort and
have been extremely successful. Democrats have largely ignored talk radio, and only since
the last election, have we paid attention to how we can win back the airwaves and the
discussion.
We have now put our frustration into action. Talk radio is a powerful political tool that has
been neglected by the Democratic party. The goal of the radio initiative is to make sure
members of the talk radio community have a better understanding of .^e goals and
accomplishments of the Administration while building a strong and dedicated radio network
to counter Republican domination of the airwaves. Although it is tempting to try and follow
the same path that has led to the Republican's radio success, we need to develop a unique
plan for the Democratic party. We will not succeed if we try to find a Democratic Rush
Limbaugh. One simply does not exist. We are proposing an all encompassing, nationwide
grass roots effort to win back the airwaves. This plan requires building strong holds with
hosts at the local level and building upon their audiences. If we hope to achieve this goal
we need to accomplish the following:
o A network between Democratic interest groups, Hill Democrats, and the White House to
work together in coordinating contacts they have with radio stations and the materials sent
to them.
o A network of friendly hosts that includes local and national hosts, in both small and large
markets. This requires grooming the hosts by offering them good guests, information, and
access.
o Change the perception of talk radio with Democratic politicians and encourage them to
participate in the "discussion on the airwaves."
o Create materials specifically generated for talk radio hosts that appeal to the listeners,
o Begin to lay a groundwork for a successful radio program to lead into the 1996 campaign.
The project was started during the summer of 1994, by Lesley Gold and Ellen Ratner, a
Democratic talk show host. Meetings began with David Wilhelm, Debra DeLee, Ed Lazarus

PHASE TWO:
A.
Once we've established a consistent and reliable flow of pertinent information,
we need to broaden this effort to include something like a "think tank" without
borders. This think tank would consist of regular conference calls with our
most friendly hosts. During these calls hosts could tell us what conservative
hosts are doing on radio and what materials conservative groups are sending to
hosts. It would also allow us to discuss certain aspects of opposition research
that we don't want to put down on paper. We can give our hosts pieces of this
information verbally, then give them instructions on how we want the
information discussed.
B.
Besides supplying our hosts with information, we need to supply them with
guests. An active roster of articulate Democrats willing to do regular radic;
appearances would make our task easier. We have already contacted many of
our political consultants and asked them to make a firmer commitment to radio.
It would be a great advantage to the party to have our consultants do regular
features on the same show so the listening public gets accustomed to their
personalities. Other Democratic supporters, whether they be entertainers or
politicians, need to be used as radio resources, and a list of possible radio
guests should be generated.
C.
To extend the reach of radio we need to find and groom local hosts. To find
local hosts we must utilise the state chairs and their knowledge of radio in their
own states. Using this information we should work with small hosts, give them
good guests and help them gain a following. We have to remember that most
radio hosts start out small and get more successful over time.
D.
At this point we need to have a clear idea of the Administration's plan and
agenda for radio and how we might best work together.
PHASE T H R E E
A.
As we supply more Democratic guests to radio programs we must make sure
their time on the airwaves is fruitful. To reap the greatest rewards from radio
appearanceSj media training should be provided for all guests. In the past.

MEETINGS IN PRQQ3ESS:
The project has focused on initiating meetings with several organizations and individuals. We
have had meetings with consultants to the Democratic Party, the White House, Governor Cuomo
and other elected officials, as well as state party officials. We are planning to expand our
outreach to every state. We have talked with a friendly host in Indiana, Richard Bonoms, who
has offered to work with the Indiana state party to develop a prototype as to how hosts and local
parties can work together. The Radio Project has also initiated meetings with several of the
Democratically oriented non-profit groups and public interest organizations. Many of these
organizations have had a long relationship with the radio department and are willing to be
supportive and expand their connection. Individual hosts from around the country are enthusiastic
about becoming involved and helping to change the tenor of the conversation on the radio
airwaves. In our conversations with party activists, many individuals have expressed a strong
personal interest in "winning the radio war". Party organizations such as College Democrats and
the DSCC have also expressed an interest in coordinating efforts with the Radio Project. We are
continuing to set up meetings with individuals and groups who have indicated an interest and
when appropriate, inviting them to participate in the ongoing meetings. We have waited to have
a follow-up meeting with both Democratic consultants and the White House until the new
leadership was in place.

MEETINGS IN PROGRESS:
The project has focused on initiating meetings with several organizations and individuals. We
have had meetings with consultants to the Democratic Party, the White House, Governor Cuomo
and other elected officials, as well as state party officials. We are planning to expand our
outreach to every state. We have talked with a friendly host in Indiana, Richard Bottoms, who
has offered to work with the Indiana state party to develop a prototype as to how hosts and local
parties can work together. The Radio Project has also initiated meetings with several of the
Democratically oriented non-profit groups and public interest organizations. Many of these
organizations have had a long relationship with the radio department and are willing to be
supportive and expand their connection. Individual hosts from around the country are enthusiastic
about becoming involved and helping to change the tenor of the conversation on the radio
airwaves. In our conversations with party activists, many individuals have expressed a strong
personal interest in "winning the radio war". Party organizations such as College Democrats and
the DSCC have also expressed an interest in coordinating efforts with the Radio Project. We are
continuing to set up meetings with individuals and groups who have indicated an interest and
when appropriate, inviting them to participate in the ongoing meetings. We have waited to have
a follow-up meeting with both Democratic consultants and the White House until the new
leadership was in place.
FINANCING/BUDGET
�While we have no exact figures for the proposed budget, we do have round dollar estimates
indicating the money we need and in which area it is needed. As we increase our fax list and the
number of people on it, the amount spent on faxing will obviously increase. Also, the
Democratic National Committee needs to allocate approximately $20,000 for travel expenses. We
need to bring our local hosts to Washington DC to give them greater contact with important
Democratic leaders and allow our hosts to communicate with Democratic groups located inside
the beltway. Because we will not be able to bring all hosts to Washington DC, we need $10,000
to have a series on ongoing conference calls with our hosts so that they can have the contact they
need and we receive the feedback we need. On a local level, the DNC needs to provide funding
to state parties so that they can encourage local Democrats to start their own shows. For
example, in Mississippi Ricki Cole, President of the Young Democrats, has an hourly show
weekly on a local cable accessed radio station. It costs him $64 a week. The DNC could at least
subsidize an effort such as this and in return, the people who start these shows would agree to
monitor local radio in their respective areas and report weekly to the DNC. Money is needed to
pay for fixing DNC radio equipment, the mailing of background material to hosts, the costs of
sending increased faxes to hosts and stations, as well as the costs of conference calls between
hosts and the DNC.
We are hoping that state parties, allied groups who are working with the DNC and individuals
who are interested in talk radio will contribute to this effort. A decision will need to be made
about how this money can be raised, and if it should go directly to the DNC or be handled
through an allied organization.
RADIO COMMITTEE - COMPOSITION OF:
In order to assure broadbased support for this project we are proposing forming a national
committee consisting of Democratically identified talk show hosts, political consultants, state
party officials and allied interest group representatives, as well as, volunteers with a strong
interest in the project. We would look to form a committee that is geographically diverse and has
demonstrated a strong interest toward the development of talk radio as an outreach base. In
addition, we would expect that the allied interest groups would be willing to contribute financially
to the success of the project and to support specific initiatives such as increasing the ability to fax
or send more materials to hosts, pay for on sight meetings of hosts and to increase the visibility
of talk radio within local communities. Many people have expressed strong interest to serve on
such a committee, ranging from Governor Mario Cuomo to other conservative elected officials,
as well as individual state chairs and several talk show hosts.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
Some additional recommendations are as follows:
o Work with the state party chairs to strengthen their outreach to radio.
�and Jim Whitney. Additional meetings have taken place with the White House, DSG,
DSCC, Democratic consultants, and elected officials.
We have now put a plan of action in place and it is as follows:
GOALS OF THE PROJECT:
A Democratic Radio Strategy in Three Phases
In order to energize this grass roots radio assault, there have been a series of meetings to
devise a radio strategy. The following is a three tier plan on how Democrats can best put
this strategy into effect.
PHASE ONE:
A.
Establish better relationships with "our" hosts. We need to continue gathering
information from our hosts, for example: what questions are their listeners
asking and what kind of information and materials do they need in order to
discuss the issue thoroughly. Hosts are the only experts we have on talk radio
and we must treat them like the valued and useful resource that they are.
B.
Once the hosts tell us what they need, we need to supply them with materials
that are both timely and radio friendly. Radio is part news and part
entertainment. We can not simply rely on the releases we send to print and
video media. We need to create documents that are geared toward radio
audiences and deal with the issues which concern listeners. If our hosts are
going to be talking about an issue, we need to make sure they have the
Democratic view point represented even if that means we're straying from the
points focused on in other forms of press.
C.
There must be unity and coordination among Democratic groups in feeding
information to radio. Once we establish what issues are being discussed on
radio in a given day and/or a given week, Democratic interests groups should
all send out information on this given topic. We dilute the Democratic message
when hosts start receiving a multitude of faxes on varying subject matter. This
coordination will be aided by sharing contacts and media lists among friendly
Democratic groups.
�o Develop, as the Republicans already have, a Democratic Communications Association with a
department devoted exclusively to radio. The Republicans have Senate and House staff members
as well as outside interest groups and think tanks united with their Association. We are exploring
the possibility of working with the communications group that has been started by Minority
Leader Gephardt.
o Clarify the responsibility of the radio department in booking guests and coordinating media
lists.
o Involve DNC staffers in the Radio Project by having staff people contribute ideas from
newspaper articles, etc., to send out to hosts.
o Consider the possibility of a weekly DNC radio program where listeners can call in and talk
directly with party officials.
o Develop more radio drive time tours for DNC party officials to get the news of DNC programs
out more rapidly.
o Hue .rage allied groups to send out coordinated faxes.

SUBJECT:
President's proposed radio "town meeting" hosted by Larry King
On 23 August I spoke with Norm Pattiz, the Chairman of the Board and CEO of Westwood
One, Inc., which owns the Mutual Radio broadcast system and controls NBC radio network.
He has been extraordinarily helpful in working with both the White House and the DNC to
develop talk radio programs and formats that will appeal to Democrats and Independents. He
has put a great deal of his own time into researching and developing a couple of formats that
are already on some 150-200 radio stations across the country on a 5 day a week basis.
He met with the President on Air Force I from San Francisco to the Oregon economic
conference. Frank Greer also attended the meeting. During the meeting, the President agreed
to do a radio "town hall" hosted by Larry King which would run for 1 hour during which he
would take questions. Norm has spent a great deal of time in setting this up and has
apparently contacted a broad number of radio stations both within his networks as well as
independent stations that would carry the program.
Although the President is interested in doing this, a decision was made to put it off until next
year. Due to miscommunication on our part, however, Mr. Pattiz did not receive that
message and has forged ahead making a number of commitments. Mike McCurry and I have
discussed this at some length, and given all the considerations, agreed we should go forward
with this event.
I spoke with Norm who is prepared to do it anytime during September or early October this
year. I told him that you would contact him either today (23 August), or tomorrow, at the
�latest, to discuss time, format, etc.
As he briefly described to me, the broadcast would take place 6 pm eastern daylight time and
would run for 1 hour with Larry King as the host. It would be "multi-media" in that
questions to the President could come in by telephone, fax or the Internet. Other than that, I
think things are very wide-open.
Given the confusion and mixed signals on this, I request that you talk to Norm no later than
tomorrow to at least make contact with him and begin setting up the arrangements.
Mike suggested 13 September as perhaps a date to hold this event, but, according to Norm,
he isflexibleup to the middle of this October.
Norm can be reached at 310-840-1201.

On the Dial
By Jeffrey Yorke .
SpecUJ to The WashinRlon Post
Hillary Clinton's Good Air Day
Hillary Rodham Clinton, frequently the
target of talk radio hosts, is trying to turn
the tables by taking perhaps the most logical
course of action: becoming' a.guest on talk
shows. And a charming one at that.
Mrs. Clinton phoned WMAL-AM (630) afternoon team Bill Trumbull and Chris Core
on Wednesday for a Q'/z-minute chat that
touched on a number of subjects, including
the closing of Pennsylvania Avenue, life after
the White House and daughter Chelsea.
"When Chelsea turns 16, will she get a
car?" asked Core.
The first lady said she tries hard to provide as normal an environment as possible
for her daughter, but 'Tm not sure that even
if we weren't in the White House would she
get a car." She said she owns a 1986 Oldsmnhile Cutlass and has told Chelsea she can
"use it when she is old enough. The youngster, alas, is not impressed by the wheels,
Mrs. Clinton reported.
Core surprised the first lady with a taped
conversation he had with his cousin, Ruth
Ann Shlosser, who had grown up near Mrs!
Clinton in Park Ridge, 111.
"Oh, my gosh, this is incredible," gushed
the first lady as she was updated on her old
neighbors.
After talking a bit about politics (of
course), Mrs. Clinton was asked what she
wants to do when her husband leaves office.
"To be able to have some time that my
family and friends and-1 can spend relaxing
and doing things that are hard for me to do
now," she said. Those' things include "taking
long walks and going shopping and just kind
of getting back in the swing of ordinary life."
Trumbull and Core wisely made no mention of their station's now famous bus-back
advertisement for Rush Limbaugh's show!
The ad read: 'It's Not Hillary's Voice That
Bill Hears in His Sleep."

NEW YORK—During the first hour of a leisurely chat,
Mario Cuomo launches into riffs on health care, poetry, the
; Beatles, Bill Clinton, Ethiopian Jews, his barber, Sharon
Stone, the Iroquois Indians, a nude woman on television. Hitler, David-Brenner and Genghis Khan, humming a few bars of
Beethoven for good measure.
"When I first came into public life they said, 'He's boring, he's professorial, he's didactic, he's argumentative, he
takes too long to answer your question, he doesn't have the
gift of pithiness, and he's got to change all those things,'"
Cuomo says. " I didn't change anything."
Sounds like he's ready for talk radio.

Cudmo's entry into the talk-show wars has stirred hopes
among dispirited Democrats, who have been taking talk radio
- a whole lot more seriously since last November's electoral
debacle, which claimed Cuomo as one of its most prominent

oil Mario Cuomo," he says. "The
time is right for a liberal. The listenership is not as conservative as the
mainstream press has indicated."
Cuomo does not rule out a return
to public office, but at 63, after years
of presidential flirtations, his political
prime is probably behind him.
. He is no stranger to the microphone. He hosted a radio show in the
mid-1970s and regularly fielded calls
on an "Ask the Governor" program
during his 12 years in office. At his
testiest, he argued with callers and
disparaged their questions. "Cuomo
is someone who always has to be the
smartest guy in the room," one
Democratic activist says. .
The three-hour "Mario Cuomo
Show" is being produced by Sony
Worldwide Networks, a year-old
venture that ranges from country
music to an Alan Dershowitz talk
show. Network officials hope Cuomo
will reach 90 percent of the country
by year's end.
"This will not be a guest-driven

of money to broadcast five mornings
a week, and still hopes he will eventually agree to such a move. But
Cupmo.i.who.also passed up television offers, says he-wanted a lowpressure arena to deliver what he
calls "complicated truths."
"The environment is different for
a Saturday show," he says. "People
are closer to frenetic during the
week, driving to work with one hand
on the wheel and one hand on the .
cellular phone. Once a week, you
have a better opportunity to reach
people if your argument takes more
than one- sentence. . . . Your argument is apt to be a two-step argument when they're thinking in onestep terms. What they really want is
simple solutions."
Cuomo is not one for the lock'em-up-and-ditch-the-key solutions
that sometimes echo across the airwaves. He opposes the death penalty, even while explaining that he
built more prison cells than all his
predecessors combined, even while
adding that incarceration is not the
answer to crime.
"So much of political communication is shibboleth, slogan, partial
truths, mostly huge generalizations—and Democrats are jiist as
guilty," Cuomo says. For his part,.he

well as celebrity guests. "I'd like to
do welfare mothers—some real .
ones—who can tell you why they
made the babies and what the influence of a check would be," he says.
But will that make for compelling
radio? "He can have a terrific, talk
show," says Tom Bresnahan,
WMAL's general manager. "But can
he take this really strong intellectual
and political background and present
it in an entertaining fashion? That
remains to be seen."
Bob Longwell, station manager at
WWRC, says that while Cuomo is "a
marvelous speaker," he is also "a
New York-oriented guy. The question is how he'll do in San Diego and
Tucson and St. Louis."
After a dozen years "in the mansion," as Cuomo describes his stay in :
Albany, he sometimes resembles a ;
man who has just emerged from a !
time capsule. He was stunned, for
example, to discover a gyrating na- '
ked woman on a local cable channel j
after moving into his Manhattan i
apartment. , •.
!
Cuomo sees the radio host's job as
part anthropologist, part pundit, part
politician, and insists he has much to
learn from the callers. He wraps the
endeavor in such flowery rhetorical
packaging that it begins to sound
like a noble public service.
"The Limbaugh phenomenon is
important for a lot of reasons, but -I
don't think it's important because
Limbaugh led people to positions,"'
he says.- "You heard what people
were saying in their living-rooms and
dining rooms. The anger is real. The
harshness is real.... I want to influence, to whatever extent I can by
.presenting my point of view, which I
hope is more accurate, more fully
developed, more intelligent than the
opposing point of view."

Pro-family Dobson avoids partisanship
Politicians find
impact impressive
By Larry Witham
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—
Nestled at the foot of the Rocky
Mountains and nearby Pulpit
Rock, a new brick complex boasting 10,000 tours a year has drawn
four Republican presidential candidates in recent months.
It is the home of James Dobson's
national radio, counseling and
print ministry, Focus on the Family, and the visits are one more illustration of his growing role as a
kingmaker for family values.
Anyone with a database of 3.5
million supporters, 2 million of
them magazine subscribers, and
who talks to millions on the radio
each week would be a sure candidate for friendship with highstakes politicians.
But Mr. Dobson, 59, says he has
no ambition to play a role in the
political game.
What he'll do with zeal, he says,
is give the nation and the candidates the same biblical advice he

Yet in the face of charges that " I meet fairly regularly with
'7 will not be making
statements as we get
closer to the election,"
Mr. Dobson said in a
session with reporters
last week.
For all the political engagements on issues, Mr. Dobson says
his $100 million annual ministry is
not well understood.
"It's very complicated," he says,
countering the allusions that he is
purely a public-policy guru.
Only $4 million of the budget
goes to public-policy work, and the
public-policy magazine Citizen,
with a circulation of 139,000, is a
mere shadow of the 2 million subscriber family-advice monthly Focus on the Family.
More than 50 ministries operate
from the complex on 40 acres
here. But the most consuming for
the 1,200 employees is answering
the 230,000 letters and phone calls
that arrive each week. The appeals
are for prayers, family wisdom,
crisis counseling and help in financial emergencies.
Mr. Dobson calls it an "emotionto-emotion" ministry that talks
with a vast constituency — the
same approach he began with in a
two room office in Pasadena, Calif.
The phone calls and letters he
used to get, he says, were about
children sucking thumbs and
spouses bickering.
"Now a much higher percentage of the mail has to do with child
abuse' and psychological problems
You can just about watch
the unraveling of the social order
over time," he says.
The ministry last week issued a
statement decrying the Fourth
World Conference on Women, saying its agenda is to legitimize five
different genders — and Mr. Dobson will take the issue onto his vast
airwaves beginning Monday.
"It's anti-family from the first to
the last," he says of the 120-page
draft document for the Beijing
event in September.

Contrary t o what some people may t h i n k , Talk Radio i s by no

Talk Radio i s a c o s t - e f f e c t i v e , convenient way of reaching a

As you probably know, being a Talk Radio guest i s not as

Attached is a self-explanatory article describing one of the programs that the DNC has

Bua actually isn't a radio and

message.
As director of the Democratic
National Committee's Speakers Bureau, Bua is traveling for a year
giving workshops to Democrats on
how to storm the airwaves and
gain the upper hand in America's
political dialogue.
"It evolved out of a need to
counter the very strong and divisive negative message that the Republicans were sending out across
the airwaves," he said Friday.
The Democrats' goals are to retake Congress and win President.
Clinton another four years in office.
Bua is giving a workshop in Summerville today. He gave two in Columbia on Friday and another in
Greenville on Thursday.
About 25 people have attended
each of those three-hour workshops, which are being given free
of charge. Elsewhere in the country, they have drawn as many as
250.
"We're going to be better able to
deliver our message," said S C.
Democratic Party Executive Director Scott Sokol. "This will raise
some awareness.'

"I think Democrats have felt for

Subject
Maximizing The Use Of Radio
.
At Don Fowler's request, I am summarizing in memo form my most recent meeting with
Don, which translates into 3 specific suggestions to improve your access to and
acceptance by. radio.
1)
Creation of a liberal/moderate news and commentary feature.
Rather than focusing on the creation of a liberal Rush Limbaugh for talk
radio stations who are generally speaking not our best friends or most
receptive audience, I believe that we should focus on the 85% of stations
that are not talk formatted through the development of a liberal/moderate
Paul Harvey type program. One of Paul Harvey's keys to success and
influence is that he has credibility because of his posture as a newsman.
With this credibility, he can effectively deliver a political message in an
exceptionally persuasive fashion. These daily features would air multiple
times each day, and reach a much larger more persuadable audience
than any single talk show. Let the rest of the world focus on finding the
mythical anti-Llmbaugh. We should not be placing our primary focus on
talk radio where our options are limited. We should concentrate on the
rest of radio where the field is wide open.

Selected major events for the talk radio format utilizing the President
and Vice President at Irregular intervals.
The administration's relationship with talk radio can be redefined through
individual events of major proportion ; for example "A conversation with
America". This can be positioned as the Interactive fireside chat of the
go's. By utilizing hot only telephone call-ins and faxes, but online via the
internet, we can take questions from America and easily select the most
appropriate subjects for response. My suggestion for a host would be
Larry Kirig, a friend with a twenty year relationship with Westwood One,
who has been the recipient of numerous Radio Hall of Fame Awards, and
the only radio talk show host to ever receive a Peabody Award. Larry's
return to live talk radio for this type of mega event would also be viewed
as a very big positive by the industry. Ah event of this magnitude would
be viewed as an outreach to talk radio, while at the same time clearly

Multiple public personalities delivering targeted messages via short
features on radio stations with different musical formats.
These features could be hosted by entertainers, sport celebrities, authors,
business executives, and public figures appropriate to the formats on
which they air, i.e. Don Henley or Stephen Stills on classic rock, Barbra
Streisand on adult contemporary, country personalities for country
stations, sports personalities for all sports formats, business leaders for
news and information ...etc. This approach will be the most time
consuming and difficult to pull off, but has the greatest potential for
influence. It would require writers who can create variations on a theme
for various formats, while keeping the central , idea unitOrm. We need
hosts who believe as we do, and who are comfortable with using their
celebrities to communicate important messages.
A few other closing thoughts that Don and I discussed at our meeting. I think we
should be very careful in attacking purveyors of hate on talk radio. The public has a
short memory, talk show hosts don't. We run the risk of making this a rallying point
that galvanizes talk radio hosts against us, I.e. the selection of G. Gordon Uddy as
the first amendment honoree at the convention for the National Association of Radio
Talk Show Hosts. I believe that suggestion no. 2 can be very effective In dealing with
some of the negative side effects which may exist.
I also believe that it is foolish for us to try to copy the republican party's manner and
style of distribution of information to talk radio stations and hosts.. This only serves to
provide them with material to bash us. We are writing their scripts for them. We
should instead concentrate on station news directors, network news directors,
reporters, and hosts that are more persuadable and friendly.
Since the time that my friend David Geffen first suggested that we engage In some
dialogue several months ago. my only purpose has been to be supportive. I hope this
memo will be helpful. I am available to discuss any of the above anytime, via phone
or on my next trip to Washington.

MEMO TO: President Bill Clinton
FROM:
Don Fowler
RE:
Norm Pattiz
DATE:
January 10, 1996
On January 3, I talked with Norm Pattiz, who has helped us with various initiatives in getting
your message out using radio. He arranged for the radio interview with you and Larry King
several months ago.
He has a new idea which I think is a good one. He proposes that, sometime within the next two
to three months, perhaps in early March just before the two big Tuesdays of primary season,
Tuesday, March 5 and Tuesday, March 12, you do a live radio broadcast with a panel of talk
radio hosts -- perhaps a half dozen. They would come from around the country. After thirty
to forty-five minutes of conversation with the panel members, the program would then open up
to questions from other talk radio hosts who would be located in several key states. The program
would last an hour and a half.
Norm's contention is, and I agree with him, that we have made some headway in providing an
antidote to the efforts of the right-wing talk show hosts, and that this current proposal would
further demonstrate that the mood of the country and talk radio hosts specifically is changing,
and that we are gaining ground in the talk radio combat. Coming just before the first big
Tuesday of the primaries would be a good hit; it would be nationwide and would reach a large
proportion of the talk radio audience. Norm believes that we can have this conversation on
about a thousand stations. I would be happy to discuss this further witli you, as would Norm.

Upping the power of Radio Marti will likely produce an unintended consequence, the
jamming of U.S. AM radio stations by Castro. That's what he did in the 80's and
stations hundred of miles from Florida suffered serious interference problems when
Castro retaliated against Radio Marti. Lots of station GM's are increasing their
headache remedies as we speak.
Any thoughts on the program I suggested with Talk Radio a few weeks back, in which
you talk with a small panel of appropriate talk radio show hosts and take calls from
other hosts around the country ? I still believe that's an absolute winner, but I have
had no response.
Sorry I couldn't make the White House dinner on February 8th, but I was only in the
90th day of the 100 day flu.
You can thank me later for releasing Buchanan from his radio show in order to run for
President.
I hope all continues to go well.

Subject :
Talk Radio Phase II
Last June on Alrforce 1 when we discussed talk radio, I recommended major events
on a national level bypassing the usual distribution channels to go directly to talk radio
listeners. Your Radio Town Meeting with Larry King accomplished that goal and was
perceived by the listening audience and radio community as a highly successful major
event. It's now time to go back to talk radio and build on that success. Here's my
suggestion:
A panel of talk radio hosts (5 or 6) from major market stations around the country will
be selected to interview you and the Vice President at the White House. The program
would be 90 minutes to 2 hours in length, taking questions from the panel as well as
telephone call-ins from other pre selected talk radio hosts from all over America.
We will select panelists who have a well established track record of fairness to the
administration. With this format we can be assured of maximum promotion at the
individual station level, since most stations will also be promoting the participation of
their own personalities in a historic "first of it's kind" interactive broadcast. The
participating hosts will be polling their listeners in advance to ask questions that are
truly reflective of their audience.
I believe there is an opportunity to make a real impact and show significant support
from talk radio, a medium that is perceived as a conservative strong hold. As far as
timing is concerned we are wide open, March/April seems most opportunistic however.
By the way, our Dirk Van commentary feature that I played for you in Los Angeles Is
now on over 600 stations and going well. Let me know how you would like to
proceed.

event. It's now time to go. back to talk radio and build on that success. Here's my
suggestion:
A panel of talk radio hosts (5 or 6) from major market stations around the country will
be selected to interview you and the Vice President at the White House. The program
would be 90 minutes to 2 hours in lengthy taking questions from the panel as well as
telephone calFins from other pre-selected talk radio hosts from all over America.
We will select panelists who have a well established track record of fairness to the
administration. With this format we can be assured of maximum promotion at the
individual station level, since most stations will also be promoting the participation of
their own personalities in a historic "first of it's kind" interactive broadcast. The
participating hosts will be polling their listeners in advance to ask questions that are
truly reflective of their audience.
I believe there is an opportunity to make a real impact and show significant support
from talk radio, a medium that is perceived as a conservative strong hold. As far as
timing Is concerned we are wide open, March/April seems most opportunistic however.
By the way, our Dirk Van commentary feature that I played for you in Los Angeles is
now on over 600 stations and going well. Let me know how you would like to
proceed.

Re:
State Talk Radio Initiatives
\j
Approximately a half dozen states have organized their own Talk Radio Initiatives, using
the DNC Speakers Bureau/Talk Radio Initiative as a template.
For example, attached is the material I recently received from Michigan.
My objective is to create Talk Radio Initiatives in all the key states and use them to
coordinate and monitor Talk Radio around the country, and when appropriate I will coordinate
all of this with the Coordinated Campaigns in each state as well.
This will be an extremely cost-effective way of making voter contacts. For instance,
with the President's State of the Union address, working with Gephardt's office, we were able
to book 95 guests on Radio Talk Shows around the country and use State Party Chairs and
unions to generate call-ins on them.
A conservative estimate is that we made 9.5jniUion voter contacts, costing the DNC only
the price of the phone calls to the shows.

The following is a complete listing of the targeted Metro Detroit
talk radio shows and their respective lime slots. Choose any and all
programs which you arc willing to monitor by circling the day of the
week of the corresponding show. Please do not commit to a slot
unless you intend to listen and call-in to the show on a daily basis.
Talk radio will undoubtedly have an enormous impact on this
year's election. Ultimately, its success depends on dedicated
volunteers like yourselves. Thank you for sacrificing time and
energy for this important project.

Practical Guide to T a l k
NO.547 P005/010
Radio C a l M n s
The goal of this initiative is to express the Democratic message
over the airwaves of Metro Detroit s talk radio stations. Volunteers
will be asked to commit to specified 2-3 hour blocks throughout the
week during which they will listen to and place calls 10 talk radio
shows on WXYT and WJR. Volunteers will also be asked to report the
results of each call to a project coordinator's "800" number. Finally,
volunteers must be able to keep the project confidential so as not to
create the image of a "Democratic conspiracy" to infiltrate Detroit
area talk radio shows. The success of this project depends largely on
volunteer patience and perseverance. Democratic performance in the
1996 elections will no doubt be affected by the success or failure of
this initiative. Although the (ask of arguing with Mark Scott or being
left on hold for an hour may seem thankless at times, the existence
of a Democratic voice over the airwaves of Detroit's right-wing talk
shows would no doubt weaken a force which proved to be
instrumental in the Republican victories of 1994. This guide is
designed to help volunteers achieve success in getting on the air and
voicing the message of the Democratic Party.
Getting On the Air
Obviously, the first step is to actually be put on the air with
hosts like Jon Pepper or David Newman. Not surprisingly, there is a
strategy to gaining access to such shows. Getting on to a Detroit talk
radio program involves two elements: beating the crowd and getting
past the screener or producer.
Beating the Crowd
Almost all the shows provoke many callers and it may be difficult to
get through at first. Here are a few suggestions that may help in
your quest to reach the station.
-Call to the radio station 5 10 minutes prior to the show.
That way you can get on the line before the crowd reacts to
the tenor of the program and decides to call in.
• If you get a busy signal, hang up immediately and dial again
(A telephone with a redial feature is recommended). You may
have to call 6-7 times or more to get through.
-If the line does ring but no one answers for a while, don't be
discouraged. Stay on the line. You are closer to getting your
call answered than if you hang up. redial and get a busy signal.

Getting by the Screener
Although many callers eventually get through to the station, only a
handful axe given the opportunity to voice their opinion over the
airwaves. Here are some tips which will help you increase your
chances of becoming part of this select group.
-Turn your radio down ro avoid feedback; listen to the show
through the telephone.
-Complement the show.
-Producers may ask any or all of the following questions:
*Name
*Age
*City you are calling from
*City you live in
"Comment or issue you wish to address
***Note: Answer these questions honestly, but make your
reservations about the host seem bland. A caller who
successfully got by the Rush Limbaugh screener said, Tm
calling because I like the show, but I think thai sometimes
Rush attacks people's religion and patriotism."
-Sound dumb. Even though you may have indicated a
difference of opinion with the host, appear to present an
opportunity for him to demolish you with his "superior
intelligence." Once you get on the air, you can really unload.
-If you are afraid that producers are beginning to recognize
your name and are weary of allowing you on the air, use an
alias. For example, be Carol today. Sue tomorrow, and Debbie
on Friday!
•Be patient. Unfortunately, you may have to wait on the line
for an hour before getting on the show.
Voicintr the Democratic Message
Although the achievement of gelling by the screener may feel
rewarding enough- remember, the real payoff comes with the
successful voicing of the Democratic message. Not surprisingly, you
may encounter combative hosts who will use numerous tactics in an
attempt to destroy your message.
There are several key elements to
achieving success in the talk radio battlefield. Here are a few
strategic tips which may help you claim victory.
Don't Get Ambushed- Stick to Your Topic
Avoid getting side-tracked by deceptive hosts, who want to lead you
into areas with which you may not be familiar. If hosts go on tirades
about obscure or unrelated issues, tell them that you called to talk

about a substantive issue and ask the host to direct the conversation
back to substance. You may want to say. "I really am unfamiliar
with that allegation. Honestly, it sounds like someone just made it up
as a joke. I called this program to talk about substance, about jobs,
like the fact that the Presidents budget will..." The bottom-line is
that you can control the debate if you are polite but assertive. The
key is to know your issues well and stick to them.
Avoid land Mines- Be Prepared for Obscure Facts
Some hosts may try to slam you with obscure facts or wild
allegations. For example, the host tells you that the U.N. is organizing
tank battalions in Mississippi to overthrow the Constitution. You can
respond, "Thai's not my area of expenise but it sounds awfully farfetched. But, speaking of the United Nations, the President has taken
the lead in better using the U.N. to save starving children in..." The
key is that you can always just change the subject. For example,
"Mark, that's a ridiculous allegation. Here's something listeners may
really want to know..." This allows you to get back to the central
message while staying clear of siatistic-laiden pitfalls.
Neutralize your Enemy- Praise the Host
You can defuse a hosiile host in a tongue-in-cheek manner, such as
"Come on, you're a smart guy, Jon. You have influence with
thousands of listeners. They believe what you say. Lets talk about
the good things in America and what hard-working people just like
you are doing right now to make things better. For example,
Congressman Bonior is proposing thai..."
AfterfreCall,.,
When your call is over with, take time to pat yourself on the
back. After all. you have completed the difficult and often
frustrating task of spreading the Democratic Party message through
the airwaves of Metro Detroit talk radio. If you're not so pleased
with the results of your performance daring the screening procedure
or on the air, don t be discouraged. Like anything else in life,
practice with talk radio makes perfect. It may take you a few on-air
calls to become comfortable with the talk radio format. No matter
how frustrated you become, success is virtually guaranteed as long
as you continue to learn from your mistakes, stay abreast of the
current issues, and. of course, keep making calls to the station. After
you've taken a moment to relax, don't forget to let project
coordinators know how your call(s) went by filing a "media monitor

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM :
Don Fowler
SUBJECT : The Dirk Van Radio Show
After several months of planning, Norm Pattiz of Westwood One initiated a new radio
commentary in two of his network shows — "First Light" and the "Jim Bohannon
Show". Dirk Van does the commentary with a pro-Clinton, pro-Democratic slant. "First
Light" is carried an 193 stations while the "Bohannon" show is carried on 357 stations.
Enclosed you will find:
* A copy of a letter sent to all state chairs in whose states either "First Light"
or the "Jim Bohannon Show" is carried,
* A list of all stations in which the shows are carried, and
* An audio tape of several of Dirk Van's commentaries.
Norm describes Dirk Van as a "Clinton - Democratic Paul Harvey". It is one of three radio
initiatives recommended by Norm. The other two include occasional appearances by you
and the Vice President on extended radio conversations with Larry King or similar hosts,
and a series of citizen commentaries on relevant public and political issues that will be
favorable to you and your issues. We are still working on the latter.
If you have any questions about any of this, please let me know.

Dear Bill:
Enclosed is a copy of a series of radio shows hosted by Dirk Van, a newsman/commentator who
is pro-Clinton and pro-Democratic. We should promote his program as much as possible.
His comments appear on two different programs: one called "First Light", which runs each
weekday between 5:00am - 7:00am in all time zones, and also "The Jim Bohannon Show",
which runs weekdays at 11:00pm Eastern time. With the copy of the tape is a list of the stations
on which these programs are broadcast, with those stations in or around your state highlighted
in yellow. I would like for you to call the stations within your area that broadcast these
programs, and encourage them to run the Dirk Van spot during prime hours, either during the
day or during rush hour, when people are listening to the radio in their cars. The more exposure
we can get for Dirk Van, the better.
Also, please inform Democrats in your state about this new, exciting radio program.
If you have any questions regarding this, please get in touch with me. I look forward to talking
with you again soon.
Sincerely,
Donald L. Fowler

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM :
Don Fowler
SUBJECT : The Dirk Van Radio Show
After several months of planning, Norm Pattiz of Westwood One initiated a new radio
commentary in two of his network shows -- "First Light" and the "Jim Bohannon
Show". Dirk Van does the commentary with a pro-Clinton, pro-Democratic slant. "First
Light" is carried an 193 stations while the "Bohannon" show is carried on 357 stations.
Enclosed you will find:
* A copy of a letter sent to all state chairs in whose states either "First Light"
or the "Jim Bohannon Show" is carried,
* A list of all stations in which the shows are carried, and
* An audio tape of several of Dirk Van's commentaries.
Norm describes Dirk Van as a "Clinton - Democratic Paul Harvey". It is one of three radio
initiatives recommended by Norm. The other two include occasional appearances by you
and the Vice President on extended radio conversations with Larry King or similar hosts,
and a series of citizen commentaries on relevant public and political issues that will be
favorable to you and your issues. We are still working on the latter.
If you have any questions about any of this, please let me know.

Dear Bill:
Enclosed is a copy of a series of radio shows hosted by Dirk Van, a newsman/commentator who
is pro-Clinton and pro-Democratic. We should promote his program as much as possible.
His comments appear on two different programs: one called "First Light", which runs each
weekday between 5:00am - 7:00am in all time zones, and also "The Jim Bohannon Show",
which runs weekdays at 11:00pm Eastern time. With the copy of the tape is a list of the stations
on which these programs are broadcast, with those stations in or around your state highlighted
in yellow. I would like for you to call the stations within your area that broadcast these
programs, and encourage them to run the Dirk Van spot during prime hours, either during the
day or during rush hour, when people are listening to the radio in their cars. The more exposure
we can get for Dirk Van, the better.
Also, please inform Democrats in your state about this new, exciting radio program.
If you have any questions regarding this, please get in touch with me. I look forward to talking
with you again soon.
Sincerely,
Donald L. Fowler

The DNC's World Wide Web Page was launch ^ ^ . C T O S L ^ ' ^ ^ ^
to open our doors to the American people
-mw^o fo "'*
p o l i t i c a l party has done before.
Thus f a r , approximately 6,000
people are logging on each day to learn more about the DNC. We are
making a v a i l a b l e a l l DNC d a i l y b r i e f i n g s , press r e l e a s e s ,
Newtgrams, and t a l k i n g points. They can get information on the 96
campaign and on the Republican contenders.

2) RADIO ACTUALITY LINE
The DNC's radio a c t u a l i t y l i n e i s f u l l y operational. This i s an
800 telephone number we j u s t i n s t a l l e d that allows radio producers
to get r e a l audio from DNC o f f i c i a l s . Thus f a r , we have offered
the following soundbites:
President Clinton on the Japan trade agreement (sound taken
from the DNC gala)
Chairman Dodd on the President's record on d e f i c i t
reduction;
Chairman Dodd on the DNC's new presence on the Internet;
Chairman Fowler on the Foster nomination;
Chairman Fowler comparing President Clinton's budget
proposal with the GOP budget;
Chairman Fowler on the Supreme Court's r e d i s t r i c t i n g
^
decision; and
'.-Chairman Fowler on Gingrich's appearance with a r a c i s t radio
t a l k show host.
U^A^-cj/ We "announced the a c t u a l i t y l i n e to the radio press corps l a s t week
and have received approximately 30 c a l l s a day from radio reporters
seeking soundbites.
I n addition we sent a s p e c i a l mailing to 224
African-American radio stations, encouraging them to access the
line.
3) TALK RADIO
We have put into e f f e c t a very active p i t c h and feed operation,
that matches Democratic o f f i c i a l s with t a l k radio programs seeking
guests.
We are booking radio tours and radio appearances f o r
various Clinton Administration o f f i c i a l s . Democratic consultants
and a c t i v i s t s , s t a t e l e g i s l a t o r s , representatives from sympathetic
i n t e r e s t groups and state Democratic Party c h a i r s .
In recent weeks we have stepped up our e f f o r t s to incorporate s t a t e

SUBJECT:
Possible interview of the President by Larry King on his radio show
It appears that Erskdne, Mike (with reservations) and Mark think we should proceed with the
proposal described in my 24 March 1995 memorandum to Erskine, et. al. copy of which is
attached. I would like to discuss this on Wednesday 26 April so that I can let Mr. Pattiz
know whether we want to proceed.

MEMORANDUM FOR ERSKINE BOWLES
MICHAEL MCCURRY
MARK GEARAN
FROM:
Harold Ickes
SUBJECT:
Possible interview of the President by Larry King on his radio
program
We need to come to closure on the idea suggested by Norman Pattiz, the Chair of the Board
of Westwood One Inc., which owns the Mutual radio broadcast network as well the NBC
radio network, about the President (and possibly the Vice President) appearing for a hour or
hour and a half interview with Larry King on his regular radio show sometime shortly'after
the 100 day Republican contract period is up. Based on our telephone conference call late
last week, Mr. Pattiz thinks this program would reach a very wide audience. He has already
contacted Mr. King who, is very interested in the proposal. According to Mr. Pattiz, this
program would be made available to any radio station which wanted to air it. In addition, the
audience would be able to use interactive media to participate in the interview.
Mr. Pattiz envisions this as the first of a series of irregular interviews of the President with
different radio hosts. While he does not guarantee success of this format, he thinks it will
have broad appeal and urges that we go forward with it.
In addition, as you know, he is thinking through other formats of "talk radio" which can be
used to reach "our" constituencies through the relatively narrow banded radio medium.
Since he has put significant time and effort into this, we owe him the courtesy of indicating
whether we wish to go forward with this proposed Larry King interview.
Let's discuss at your earliest possible convenience.

RE:
The President's Radio Town Meeting Hosted by dafTjrKtng
Date:
August 21, 1995
Since our meeting with the President on Air Force One on June 26th, 1995, I've been
working hard to make sure that The Radio Town Meeting Project would be successful.
I've been mindful of everyone's concerns about whether or not we could deliver a
significant number of highly rated talk radio stations. I told you that we could and I'm
happy to report that we have cleared (subject to exact date) top stations in every one
of the top 50 markets and hundreds more in medium and small markets.
I undertook this project based upon the President's agreement to do it and the
understanding that you were there to help us expedite the process of setting a firm
date for the broadcast.
What was originally discussed as an August date was moved to September because
of the President's vacation and travel schedule. In our communication with stations,
we have lead them to believe that the broadcast would most probably take place in
the middle of September. As of last week, after countless requests on my part, I had
still not received confirmation of the September date. Today, my News Department
received a call from the White House Press Office giving us a "heads-up" that the
program might have to be moved to 1996. Could somebody please tell me what's
going on? This program needs to be done now, not in '96. We have much more
credibility in '95 than in an election year and stations know that.

Frank Greer
page 2
During our meeting on Air Force One, we all agreed that this program hosted by Larry
King was one of the essential ingredients In maximizing the Administration's use of Talk
Radio. We obtained the right host, we have commitments from a spectacular list of
stations, there is great anticipation and now, I'm supposed to go back to a few
hundred stations and say "Check signals, maybe in '96" If we want to snatch defeat
from the jaws of victory, this will certainly do it.
I can certainly cancel this project if this is what everyone wants. Is this what the
President wants? Is he even aware of this? Is this still possible in September; or, are
we looking at October? Is it really '96; or, has this just fallen through the cracks?
We have not dropped the ball on this end and because of that we can't just slide out
of the project without the prospect of hundred's of stations getting their collective
noses out of joint. This is exactly the opposite of what we have been trying to
accomplish.
I await your reply.

still not received confirmation of the September date. Today, my News Department
received a call from the White House Press Office giving us a "heads-up" that the
program might have to be moved to 1996. Could somebody please tell me what's
going on? This program needs to be done now, not in '96. We have much more
credibility in "95 than in an election year and stations know that.

Date:

Since our meeting with the President on Air Force One on June 26th, 1995, I've been
working hard to make sure that The Radio Town Meeting Project would be successful.
I've been mindful of everyone's concerns about whether or not we could deliver a
significant number of highly rated talk radio stations. I told you that we could and I'm
happy to report that we have cleared (subject to exact date) top stations in every one
of the top 50 markets and hundreds more in medium and small markets.
I undertook this project based upon the President's agreement to do it and the
understanding that you were there to help us expedite the process of setting a firm
date for the broadcast.
What was originally discussed as an August date was moved to September because
of the President's vacation and travel schedule. In our communication with stations,
we have lead them to believe that the broadcast would most probably take place in

From

Date
June 6, 1995
Subject
Maximizing The Use Of Radio
At Don Fowler's request, I am summarizing in memo form my most recent meeting with
Don, which translates into 3 specific suggestions to improve your access to and
acceptance by, radio.
1)
Creation of a liberal/moderate news and commentary feature.
Rather than focusing on the creation of a liberal Rush Limbaugh for talk
radio stations who are generally speaking not our best friends or most
receptive audience, I believe that we should focus on the 85% of stations
that are not talk formatted through the development of a liberal/moderate
Paul Harvey type program. One of Paul Harvey's keys to success and
influence is that he has credibility because of his posture as a newsman.
With this credibility, he can effectively deliver a political message in an
exceptionally persuasive fashion. These daily features would alf multiple
times each day, and reach a much larger more persuadable audience
than any single talk show. Let the rest of the world focus on finding the
mythical anti-Llmbaug^. We should not be placing our primary focus on
talk radio where our options are limited. We should concentrate on the
rest of radio where the field is wide open.

Selected major events for the talk radio format utilizing the President
and Vice President at Irregular intervals.
The administration's relationship with talk radio can be redefined through
individual events of major proportion ; for example "A conversation with
America". This can be positioned as the Interactive fireside chat of the
90's. By utilizing not only telephone call-ins and faxes, but online via the
internet, we can take questions from America and easily select the most
appropriate subjects for response. My suggestion for a host would be
Larry King, a friend with a twenty year relationship with Westwood One.
who has been the recipient of numerous Radio Hall of Fame Awards, and
the only radio talk show host to ever receive a Peabody Award. Larry's
return to live talk radio for this type of mega event would also be viewed
as a very big positive by the industry. An event of this magnitude would
be viewed as an outreach to talk radio, while at the same time clearly
placing you miles above the level of being a guest on any one of
numerous radio talk shows. This, in my view, is the most effective and
appropriate way to live with the medium. We can reach Its listeners
without having to interact directly with its hosts. We bring them
Something they can't do for themselves but that they must do for their
audience, and at the same time present our message in. the most
effective and persuadable way. I believe that the time to do this is now,
especially in light of the perceived criticisms of talk radio that currently
exist.

Multiple public personalities delivering targeted messages via short
features on radio stations with.different musical formats.
These features could be hosted by entertainers, sport celebrities, authors,
business executives, and public figures appropriate to the formats on
which they air, i.e. Don Henley or Stephen Stills on classic rock, Barbra
Streisand on adult contemporary, country personalities for country
stations, sports personalities for all sports formats, business leaders for
news and information ...etc. This approach will be the most time
consuming and difficult to pull off, but , has the greatest potential for
inlluence. It would require writers who can create variations on a theme
for various formats, while keeping the central idea uniform. We need
hosts who believe as we do, and who are comfortable with using their
celebrities to communicate important messages.
A few other closing thoughts that Don and I discussed at our meeting. I think we
should be very careful in attacking purveyors of hate on talk radio. The public has a
short memory, talk show hosts don't. We run the risk of making this a rallying point
that galvanizes talk radio hosts against us, I.e. the selection of G. Gordon Uddy as
the first amendment honoree at the convention for the National Association of Radio
Talk Show Hosts. I believe that suggestion no. 2 can be very effective In dealing with
some of the negative side effects which may exist.
I also believe that it is foolish for us to try to copy the republican party's manner and
style of distribution of information to talk radio stations and hosts.. This only serves to
provide them with material to bash us. We are writing their scripts for them- We
should instead concentrate on station news directors, network news directors,
reporters, and hosts that are more persuadable and friendly.
Since the time that my friend David Geffen first suggested that we engage in some
dialogue several months ago, my only purpose has been to be supportive. I hope this
memo will be helpful. I am available to discuss any of the above anytime, via phone
or on my next trip to Washington.

PURPOSE
The purpose of the meeting is to permit Mr. Pattiz to explain his proposals to the
President; to permit the President to tell him that the White House favors the
proposals and will cooperate; and to permit the President to personally express his
great appreciation for all of Mr. Pattiz' pro bono efforts.
II.
BACKGROUND
To discuss with the President Mr. Pattiz' proposals for the use of radio in getting the
President's message to the American people. Mr. Pattiz, who is Chairman of the
Board and CEO of Westwood 1 which owns the National Broadcasting System and
controls the NBC Radio Network, and who is very close to David Giffin, has made
three separate proposals: One, to convey supportive messages in a news context on
stations other than talk radio. Two, several public personalities to deliver supportive
messages on a regular basis on non talk radio stations. Three, occasional radio
conversations with the President hosted by Larry King or someone similar.
According to Chairman Fowler, these efforts can be a major part of our media effort
at very little cost to the DNC, while at the same time create a nationwide presence
on hundreds of radio stations.

MEMO TO: Harold Ickes

RE:
Norm Pattiz' Appointment with President Clinton
DATE:
June 16, 1995
Norm Pattiz wants to talk with President Clinton to discuss his proposals for the use of
radio in getting his message to the American people. See the attached memorandum from Pattiz
to the President.
Norm has made three separate proposals:
• A moderate - liberal Paul Harvey to convey supportive messages in a news
context (this piece is almost ready to go) on stations other than talk
stations.
• Several public personalities (business people, entertainers, academicians, etc.)
to deliver supportive messages on a regular basis on non-talk radio
stations.
•
Occasional in-depth radio conversations (with call-in participation) with
President Clinton hosted by Larry King or some similar personality.
These efforts can and should be a major part of our media effort. They cost the DNC
almost nothing, yet they can in a few short weeks and months create a nationwide countervailing
influence on literally hundreds of radio stations across the nation. This is not ideal talk. It is
real and achievable in the immediate future.
Pattiz wants to talk to the President for the following reasons:
• To explain the program to him,

• To encourage him specifically to do the Larry King piece,
• To make the President aware of the value of this type of radio effort on nontalk show stations, and
• To get the President to put his stamp of approval on these efforts so that other
Democrats will expand their efforts in radio.
Norm has been invited as a participant to the Western Economic Summit in Portland on
Tuesday, June 27. He could stop by San Francisco on -Wednesday, June^, if that is more
convenient, or he could do it in Washington (he comes to the'East Coast frequently). He would
prefer to do it on June 26 or June 27, if feasible.

Possible interview of the President by Larry King on his radio

We need to come to closure on the idea suggested by Norman Pattiz, the Chair of the Board
of Westwood One Inc., which owns the Mutual radio broadcast network as well the NBC
radio network, about the President (and possibly the Vice President) appearing for a hour or
hour and a half interview with Larry King on his regular radio show sometime shortly after
the 100 day Republican contract period is up. Based on our telephone conference call late
last week, Mr. Pattiz thinks this program would reach a very wide audience. He has already
contacted Mr. King who, is very interested in the proposal. According to Mr. Pattiz, this
program would be made available to any radio station which wanted to air it. In addition, the
audience would be able to use interactive media to participate in the interview.
Mr. Pattiz envisions this as the first of a series of irregular interviews of the President with
different radio hosts. While he does not guarantee success of this format, he thinks it will
have broad appeal and urges that we go forward with it.
In addition, as you know, he is thinking through other formats of "talk radio" which can be
used to reach "our" constituencies through the relatively narrow banded radio medium.
Since he has put significant time and effort into this, we owe him the courtesy of indicating
whether we wish to go forward with this proposed Larry King interview.

Yesterday I talked with Norm Pattiz, with whom you had a discussion on the flight from
San Francisco to Portland last week. He indicated that the conversation went well. As a result,
the following actions are contemplated.
First, on August 1, Dirk Van will begin a series of radio commentaries that will include
both news and opinions about public policies. His five-minute program will be carried on the
NBC Radio Network five days a week (Monday-Friday) on 225 radio stations. It will be a pan
of the NBC Radio Network's First Light program each moming. Norm has sent an audition tape
that illustrates the kind of commentary that Dirk will do. Harold Ickes has a copy of the tape^
Second, Norm is moving directly withfrank Greer to set up the Pgggy'ential RadjoTown
Hall with yog and I any
He indicated that there are four possible dates; Tuesday oi
Wednesday, August 15 QTL 16, or Wednesday or Thur^y,_August_23_qr24_ This is being
managed by the White House staff directly with Larry King's people.
Third, we are beginning to recruit several public personalities (some political, some not
political) who will do a series of two to threeminute commentaries on subjects relevant to their
careers and interests. These commentaries will address significant public policy issues and will
contain a political message. Plans are to use these commentaries by these public personalities
in much the same way as we will use the Dirk Van commentaries. They will be in addition to
the Dirk Van commentaries, not in place of them.
If we get all three of these initiatives in place, we will have the beginning of an antidote
to theright-wingtalk shows. One of the interesting features of what Norm Pattiz is doing is
running these programs onradiostations with different formats - music, news, sports, etc. and not head-to-head with theright-wingtalk shows. Doing this willreacha different audience,
one that is more persuadable than theright-wingtalk show listeners.

Meeting with Norn Pattia
On May 10, 1995, I had a lengthy discussion with Norm Pattiz i n h i s
home i n Beverly H i l l s . We covered a number of subjects dealing
with the presence of Democrats (broadly defined) on radio. He
wants to help but feels put off because of our lack of
responsiveness to h i s suggestions made i n previous conversations.
Norm outlined three approaches to our effort to be more effective
in getting our message on radio. In order of p r i o r i t y he sees them
as follows:
*
A moderate-liberal Paul Harvey,
*
Use of the President and Vice President at
irregular intervals and for special purposes
on radio with hosts such as Larry King, and
*
Multiple public personalities
delivering
p o l i t i c a l messages on radio stations with
different formats.
F i r s t , the moderate-liberal Paul Harvey.
Paul Harvey's key to
success and influence i s that he has c r e d i b i l i t y because of h i s
posture as a navsman.
with t h i s c r e d i b i l i t y , he can more
e f f e c t i v e l y deliver a p o l i t i c a l message. One of the benefits of
t h i s posture i s that he delivers messages to persuadables, whereas
the standard talk radio people reach those already committed.
How do we get started? Pattiz wants to move on t h i s effort now.
He i s looking for the moderate-liberal Paul Harvey. Do we have
suggestions?
He would like to have them ASAP.
He i s also
recruiting writers.
Our role i n t h i s effort i s to provide him with limited research on
relevant issues, which we can do, and access to appropriate people
and information.
When these matters are i n place, he w i l l begin to produce the
programs and distribute them through h i s networks. Costs to us
w i l l be only incidental. He plans to s e l l t h i s program to

I f we have suggestions about sponsors, i . e . ,
companies that might l i k e to sponsor t h i s type of programming, he
would be happy to have their names and h i s people w i l l contact
them.
This i s a major opportunity for us. We should cooperate f u l l y with
Norm and encourage him as much as we can.
Second, he remains convinced that using the President and Vice
President, as discussed prior to the Easter holidays, i s an
effective medium for us to communicate with the persuadable public.
There are multiple techniques and variations on the basic interview
format, plus i t could be used on a wide variety of stations,
depending on the subject matter and message. He believes that the
White House s t a f f k i l l e d the idea e a r l i e r because they do not
understand the dynamics of radio and how to maximize i t s impact.
Such a program would be used and reused by everyone i n the medium,
time and time again.

In t h i s discussion, he became very animated about the benefits
t h i s approach, and quite c r i t i c a l of those who don't see
recognize i t s value. He expressed a strong desire to meet with
President and explain to him how effective doing t h i s would be

be available to any and a l l radio stations and would be used and
reused many times.
Third, while the idea of getting multiple public personalities to
deliver p o l i t i c a l messages on a variety of radio stations with
different formats i s a good one, i t i s also the most d i f f i c u l t and
time consuming to implement. Because i t i s a good idea and offers
a tremendous opportunity to affect the thinking of a large number
of people from a wide variety of backgrounds, we should pursue i t
in spite of the d i f f i c u l t y .
To begin implementing this effort, we need to identify
personalities from different backgrounds:

program i s a success, they w i l l be compensated because the program
i s commercially sustainable. With t h i s approach, the DNC would not
incur large i n i t i a l costs.
Westwood I would provide the writers, marketing and production

They would distribute the programming through t h e i r

Over time, these programs would have to be

In a l l
probability, some would be successful and some would not.
As with the moderate-liberal Paul Harvey, we should be expected to
provide limited research and appropriate access to p o l i t i c a l
principals to help with the program.
Lead time on the moderate-liberal Paul Harvey i s a matter of 8 to
10 weeks. Lead time on interviews with the President and Vice
President i s even less, i f necessary. Lead time on the multiple
personalities program i s a matter of months, depending i n large
part on how quickly we — with Norm's help — can r e c r u i t the
participants.
We at the DNC are moving on the moderate-liberal Paul Harvey
option.
From time to time we w i l l need help from others in
providing access to p o l i t i c a l principals.
My recommendation to a l l relevant White House o f f i c i a l s i s to
review and reconsider the proposal to use the President and Vice
President periodically on special topics of importance i n an
extended interview format.
As soon as practicable, we w i l l begin preparations for the multiple
personalities program.
During the conversation, Norm made several comments on related
matters that are worth repeating.
F i r s t , he believes the net
impact of our attacks on right wing purveyors of hate w i l l have a
net negative impact on our p o l i t i c a l future — the public w i l l
forget, but the talk show hosts w i l l remember and be mora
determined than ever to do us in.

Ickes memo on Re-elect time-buying. Harold thinks the 15% commission paid to
the Squier and Scheinkopffirmsfor the time buy on the crime spots was way out of line and
that the remaining time for both the primary and general campaigns should be bought on a 56 commission. He also urges that the time-buying function should be given to a firm that

is separate from the Media Team and skilled at buying spot time. He, Sosnik and Janice
C^M Enright recently met with Frank Greer and Jim Margolis, who handled your time buying in
"V&j '92, which relied heavily on spot time. They think some 85% of your '96 time-buy should

MEMO TO: President ClWfon
FROM:
Don Fowler
RE:
Norm Pattiz Radio Initiatives
DATE:
July 6, 1995
IS
Yesterday I talked with Norm Pattiz, with whom you had a discussion on the flight from
f—-U^San Francisco to Portland last week. He indicated that the conversation went well. As a result,
\ the following actions are contemplated.
&
LFirst, on August 1, Dirk Van will begin a series ofradiocommentaries that will include
// both news and opinions about public policies. Hisfive-minuteprogram will be carried on the
'^A NBC Radio Networkfivedays a week (Monday-Friday) on 225 radio stations. It will be a part
\ of the NBC Radio Network's First Light program each moming. Norm has sent an audition tape
\that illustrates the kind of commentary that Dirk will do. Harold Ickes has a copy of the tape.
Second, Norm is moving directly with Frank Greer to set up the Presidential Radio Town
'Hall with you and Larry King. He indicated that there are four possible dates; Tuesday or
Wednesday, August 15 or 16, or Wednesday or Thursday, August 23 or 24. This is being
managed by the White House staff directly with Larry King's people.
Third, we are beginning to recruit several public personalities (some political, some not
political) who will do a series of two to three-minute commentaries on subjects relevant to their
careers and interests. These commentaries will address significant public policy issues and will
contain a political message. Plans are to use these commentaries by these public personalities
in much the same way as we will use the Dirk Van commentaries. They will be in addition to
the Dirk Van commentaries, not in place of them.
If we get all three of these initiatives in place, we will have the beginning of an antidote
to theright-wingtalk shows. One of the interesting features of what Norm Pattiz is doing is
running these programs on radio stations with different formats — music, news, sports, etc. -and not head-to-head with theright-wingtalk shows. Doing this will reach a different audience,
one that is more persuadable than the right-wing talk show listeners.

President Clinton: Investing in America
�DNC Speakers Bureau Adds Support To State Parties
"We canredeemthe promise of America for our children. We can certainly restore
the American family for another full century, if we commit to each other, as the
Founders did, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
President Bill Clinton
July 6, 1 9
95
Over the next few months there will be a vigorous debate over national priorities
regarding the budget and a strong debate over the scope and function of government.
Jon-Christopher Bua, Director of the DNC Speakers Bureau, has been coordinating
with the Association of State Democratic Chairs to furnish them with speakers for events
and media opportunities concerning critical issues such as these. For example, Jon attended a
Saturday, June 24 Executive Committee meeting of the Maine Democratic Party in Augusta to
discuss the future direction of the Party. The discussion included how to better use the
media, especially Talk Radio, to promote the Democratic message and assist our candidates in
the upcoming elections. Other state parties, including Alaska and New Mexico, have
requested similar services.
The Speakers Bureau provides training and information, too. The Bureau provides upto-the-minute Talk Radio information, including lists of radio shows interested in proDemocratic speakers. Additionally, the Bureau provides hands-on speakers' training on how
Democrats can take back the airwaves both as guests on radio shows and as "on-air callers"
to challenge hostile hosts and enlighten listeners to the true Democratic agenda. As DNC
Chair Donald L. Fowler emphasizes getting back to the grass roots to activate and energize
Democratic support, Jon travels state to state to provide Democratic activists with the tools to
accomplish these goals as well as holding training sessions in Washington, D.C. For
example, Jon has trained members of the Women's Leadership Forum, Latino and Latina
activists and others in how to organize, support and articulate the Democratic message.
The Bureau provides speakers and training sessions to address issues such as welfare
reform, labor and crime issues, tax issues, reinventing government, budget reduction and
many other topics relevant to the Democratic agenda.
Forums at which such speakers might appear include:
* Committee meeting
and conventions
* Training seminars
* Media events
*

Public events
Talk Radio shows
Town Hall meetings
Conferences

Radio Show - Talking Points
Prepared by Jon-Christopher Bua, Director, Speakers Bureau
"HOSTILE" HOSTS
Tips for dealing with "hostile" radio show hosts:
* Know What the Host Wants. The host wants an entertaining and lively show. You
need to project high-energy and interest in the show and that you welcome a vigorous debate.
If you are boring, the host will feel the need to "heat it up" with harsh rhetoric, rudeness, etc.
* Praise Your Host You can defiise a hostile host in a tongue-in-cheek manner, such
as, "Come on, you're a smart guy, Bob. You have influence with thousands of listeners. They
believe what you say. Let's talk about the good things about America and what hard-working
people just like you are doing right now to make things better. For example, the President is
proposing that..."
* Stick to Your Central Message. Do not allow the host to side-track you. Make sure
you know your central message ahead of time, plot out your principal points and how you want
to deliver them. Do not feel you have to wait for the host to give you an uninterrupted
opportunity to rattle off your points. For example, "Now hold on, Bob. Let's get something
straight. The Administration is fighting to improve the standard of living for all Americans.
This is the great Democratic tradition and we will not turn back."
* Appeal to Fairness. You can counter hostility by appealing to the American sense
of fairness. For example, "Oh come on, Bob, you don't have to attack me/my agency/the
President/Hillary that way. Your listeners deserve better. Let's have a good, balanced debate
1
�on the issues. Let's talk about substance. Let's talk about the issues that have a real impact on
Americans every day."
* Be Prepared for Obscure Facts. Some hosts may try to slam you with obscure facts
or conspiracy theories. For example, the host tells you that the U.N. is organizing tank battalions
in Mississippi to overthrow the Constitution. You can respond, "That's not my area of expertise
but it sounds awfully far-fetched. But, speaking of the United Nations, the President has taken
the lead in better using the U.N. to save starving children in..." The key is that you can always
just change the subject. For example, "Bob, that's aridiculousquestion. Here's something you
listeners may really want to know..." This allows you to get back to the central message. If the
host says that you're ducking the question, answer that, "Well, Bob, your listeners can hear that
sort of stuff from you on any other day - when I'm not your guest on the show. I think I can
give your listeners some real substantive information. For example, did you know that..."
* End on a Positive Note. No matter how painful the show was, thank the host and say,
"I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to be on your show, and believe it or not, while we may
disagree about a lot of things, it is always a pleasure to talk with people across the country and
let them know that this Administration cares about their concerns. I look forward to being
invited back on your show."
"HOSTTLE" CALLERS
Tips for Democrats in handling "hostile" callers on radio shows:
* You Are Every-Democrat If you are connected to Washington or work for the
government callers immediately identify you "as" the President, "as" the Federal Government,
"as" the embodiment of and spokesperson for the Democratic Party, and you therefore are their
�target offrustrations.In this situation you speak for every Democrat. Keep your composure.
Address hostile grievances with understanding. Example, a hostile caller rants about the hard
times she is experiencing, answer her that "I know you haven't felt the impact of the economic
recovery yet. Sometimes it takes time. Did you know that the President's programs have created
over 6 million jobs in the past two years, more than double the previous four years?" Do not
just list accomplishments. You must weave them into a thoughtful, understanding answer that
demonstrates that Democrats are connected to every day concerns.
* Ask Callers Questions. You can defuse a caller's hostility by establishing a link with
him or her. Example, "Sam, do you have children? You want them to go to college, don't you?
I've had to go into debt to put my kids through school, too. It isn't easy. Let me assure you,
the President cares about children because they are our future. In fact, the President is making
college loans more affordable to middle class Americans, he is working on getting all of our kids
immunized against disease," etc. Demonstrate that you care about the caller beyond his or her
vote and that you can identify with core concerns.
* Stick to Your Topic. As stated above, avoid getting side-tracked. If callers go on
tirades about obscure or absurd issues, tell them that you came on the show to talk about
substantive issues in your area of expertise and ask the host to direct the conversation back to
substance and maintain the dignity of the conversation. "I really am unfamiliar with that
allegation. Honestly, it sounds like someone just made it up as a joke. I was invited on this
program to talk about substance, about jobs, like the fact that the President's proposals will..."
The bottom-line is that you can control the debate if you are polite but assertive. Callers and
hosts will walk all over you only if you let them.
�* Heated Debate is OK. You can have a "hot" discussion about sensitive issues without
losing control. For example if a caller raises a "hot" topic in reference to the President, you can
answer, "I understand that the President is a deeply religious man and he is a regular church-goer.
He is the President because he wants to improve the lives of every American and I am very
proud to serve him." In this way you can defend the President and Democrats without seeming
to be defensive.
* Appeal to the Host as a Last resort If the caller won't hang up or shut up, ask the
host to step in. For example, "Bob, I've tried to answer this caller's questions to the best of my
ability. I really don't what else to say other than let's just move on because I really think I can
pass along very useful information to your audience."
�"Calling In" to Radio Talk Shows
Most TALK RADIO shows have call-ins. Even if you are not an invited guest on a show you
can still get the Democratic message across by calling in (and the tips above on dealing with
"hostile hosts" may still apply to your situation). Getting on the air as a caller in the first place,
however, involves some strategy. Getting on the air on a popular TALK RADIO show involves
two phases: beating the crowd and getting past the screener.
Beating the Crowd. Popular shows will provoke many callers and it may be difficult to get
through. Here are a few techniques which will improve your chances:
*
Call early in the show, before the crowd reacts to the tenor of the show and
decides to call in.
*
For the same reason, call early in a discussion, before it ends.
*
As soon as you get a busy signal, quickly hang up and dial again. A telephone
with a redial feature facilitates this. You may have to call 6-7 times or more to
get through.
*
If the line does ring but no one answers for awhile, do not be discouraged. Stay
on the line. You are actually closer to getting your call answered than if you hang
up, redial and get a busy signal.
Getting by the Screener. Once your call is answered, you may have to satisfy a screener that
you are acceptable to the host. Here are some tips:
*
Complement the show.
*
When asked what you want to discuss, do not lie, but on the other hand make your
reservations about the host seem bland. A caller who successfully got by the Rush
�Limbaugh screener said, "I'm calling because I like the show, but I think that
sometimes Rush attacks people's religion and patriotism."
Sound dumb. Even though you may have indicated a difference of opinion with
the host, appear to present an opportunity for him to demolish you with his
"superior" intelligence. Once you get on the air, you can really unload.
Be prepared to wait in line. You may have to wait on hold for an hour before
getting on the show.
�PRACTICAL TIPS FOR RADIO
The following aretipsfor when you are invited on a TALK RADIO show as a designated guest:
1.
Be at your desk at the time the host is scheduled to call. Obviously, it is crucial that the
host has the correct telephone number.
2.
Make sure that the host announces on the air what your title is and what topic you are
to speak about. If he/she doesn't, do it yourself. If your name is difficult to pronounce,
make sure the host gets it right.
3.
Conversely, know the host's name. Say, "Hi, Bob, it's a pleasure to be on your show."
4.
Know how long you are scheduled to be on the air. If the show is going really well the
host or producer may ask you to stay on longer. It's your choice.
5.
Keep in mind that you can do a showfromany telephone. The host cannot see you. You
can spread as many notes out on your desk as you like. Use the Speakers Bureau "CALL
TO ACTION" binder of information (available from the DNC) and tab it by issue area
so you can cite hard facts on the air on the budget, crime, jobs, etc.
6.
Use the daily newspaper. Quote the President and other pro-Democratic sources.
Remember, many Americans do not read the newspaper and only get their news from
TALK RADIO. Use your chance to educate them.
7.
Make sure you know and support the Administration's position on specific issues,
especially if you answer in detail. If you are unsure about an issue or a fact, just say so
and get back to the central message:
The Administration isfightingto improve the standard of living for all Americans
and to assure the opportunity for all Americans to achieve their full potential.
You can also ask for a caller's name and address and offer to send him/her the
information requested.
8.
Last, but not least, remember that practice makes perfect. It may take a few shows for
you to become comfortable in the TALK RADIO format. You may want to start with
a show that isn't nationally syndicated or in a big maricet.
GOOD LUCK!

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
TALK RADIO INITIATIVE
The following document lists radio stations in the State of Iowa which have expressed interest
in the Democratic message. The stations are sorted by all media markets within each
congressional district, with major market stations listed in bold print.
If a media market has no station listed, it is either because there were no stations in that area
with the talk show format or stations with talk radio were not interested in coordinating guests
through us.
Preceding each congressional district radio talk-show breakdown is election result information
supplied by the National Committee for an Effective Congress. It consists of three
things:
* Election returns for the most recent congressional race for all candidates.
* Democratic Preference (DP). This is an average percent of the vote Democratic
candidates (not just congressional candidates) have received over the last few
election cycles in that district.
* President Clinton's percentage of the 1992 vote.
Note: The DP has not been updated to reflect the 1994 results. When this information is
available, we will substitute it for the current figures.

�PRESIDENT CLINTON
INVESTING IN AMERICA
" l/Ve [Democrats] say ... the most important thing is whether people can make
the most of their own lives, whether they can compete and win in the global
economy, and whether we can do it in a way that keeps the American Dream
alive, where more people are moving into the middle class, where people are
rewarded for their efforts, and where we find a way to make our diversity a
strength, not a weakness. That is the difference." -- President Bill Clinton, June
28, 1995
1
2 /2 YEARS OF ACCOMPLISHMENT
THE ECONOMY SEVEN MILLION NEW JOBS --Nearly three times as many jobs have been created
during the Clinton Administration -- 7 million -- than during all four years of the
previous administration. And, 92% of the new jobs are in the private sector.
BEST JOB GROWTH IN A DECADE -- Under President Clinton, the 1994 economy
saw the best overall job growth in a decade -- almost 3.5 million jobs were added to
the economy in 1994 alone.
UNEMPLOYMENT DOWN TO 5.6% --June unemployment was 5.6%, down from over
7% at the start of the Clinton Administration.
REAL DEFICIT REDUCTION -- The federal deficit -- projected to decline for three
years in a row for the first time since Harry Truman was in office -- will be more than
$1 trillion less over seven years because of the President's economic plan. And, by
1998, the deficit will decrease by half as a percentage of national income -- from 4.9%
to 2.4%. The President's new economic plan will balance the budget by 2005.
REWARDING WORK - President Clinton gave working families a tax credit by
expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The EITC helps families move from
welfare to work and provides targeted tax relief for middle-income Americans who
have not shared in the economic recovery. Thanks to the President's expansion of
the EITC, 21 million workers and their families (those making less than $28,500) will
receive a tax cut averaging $1400 in 1996. The expanded credit will help 1.4 million
families -- including nearly 3 million children -- escape poverty by 1996.
INVESTING IN COMMUNITIES - The Clinton Administration created nine Economic
�page: 2
Empowerment Zones and 95 Enterprise Communities that give struggling urban
regions a boost toward economic renewal. The President instituted the Defense
Reinvestment and Conversion Initiative that reinvests in the workers, communities,
and companies hit hardest by the defense cuts brought about by the end of the Cold
War. And, the President signed the Community Development and Financial
Institutions Act that establishes a network of community development banking
institutions that will provide credit, capital and basic banking services to distressed
urban and rural communities.
SPURRING SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT - The President has created
incentives to grow small businesses by increasing the amount a small business
can expense for equipment purchases (75% more -- going from $10,000 to $17,500);
established a targeted capital gains tax preference to encourage investment; and the
Extended Research and Experimentation Tax Credit gives a 20% credit for qualified
research expenditures. The Clinton Administration has reduced and reinvented
regulations -- for example, reducing the SBA loan application from a 1 /2 inch stack of
paper to one single, two-sided form.
1
REFORMING WELFARE =
>
MOVING PEOPLE FROM WELFARE TO WORK -- The Clinton Administration has
encouraged welfare reform. Twenty-nine states have been given permission to cut
through federal rules and regulations to implement welfare reform proposals. That's
more than twice as many welfare waivers as the Bush Administration approved during
its four years. President Clinton has proposed and supported welfare reform legislation
that requires parental responsibility, has tough work requirements, invests in child care
and supports family values.
STRONG ON CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT - The Clinton Administration has
put forward a strong child support enforcement program. To make deadbeat parents
pay, this Administration will: suspend their drivers' licenses, track them across state
lines and make them work off what they owe. The Administration is collecting a
record level of child-support from delinquent parents -- $9 billion in 1993 (12% over
1992). The President signed an executive order to make it easier to find federal
employees who owe child support and make them pay. Child support collection is a
serious issue -- if the U.S. collected all the money that deadbeat parents should pay,
the country could move 800,000 women and children off welfare immediately.
FIGHTING CRIME
�page: 3
THE CRIME BILL -- On September 13, 1994, President Clinton signed the Violent
Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act. It puts 100,000 more police on America's
streets; builds more prisons and provides longer sentences for violent criminals;
bans 19 types of assault weapons; locks up the most dangerous criminals for good
by making "three strikes and you're out" the law of the land; makes it illegal for
kids to carry handguns; extends the death penalty for the most heinous crimes;
requires sexual predators to register with law enforcement and allows them to
notify the community that a sexual predator lives in the area; gives children positive
alternatives to crime and drugs with gang prevention, safe schools, job training and
other prevention programs; and combats sexual and domestic violence through the
Violence Against Women Act.
The Cops on the Street program has already put over 20,000 additional police officers
into America's communities.
THE BRADY LAW -- The Brady Law imposes a five-day waiting period so that a
background check can be run before an individual purchases a handgun. Three
studies by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, CBS News and the
International Association of Chiefs of Police in conjunction with Handgun Control Inc.
found that up to 45,000 convicted felons (2 to 3.5 percent of all applicants for
handguns) had been stopped from buying handguns because of the newly required
background check.
REINVENTING GOVERNMENT MOST PRODUCTIVE TWO YEARS IN 30 YEARS - According to the Congressional
Quarterly, in the last two years (103rd Congress), the partnership between the
President and Congress was the most productive relationship in the last 30 years.
REDUCING THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE - The size of the federal workforce has
already been reduced by 150,000 positions; by 1998, 272,000 positions will be
eliminated - giving us the smallest federal workforce since the Kennedy
Administration.
REAL SAVINGS - Because of the Vice President's efforts, approximately $63 billion
of the first National Performance Review's $108 billion in proposed savings has
already been achieved. This year, the President proposed eliminating 131 programs
altogether and consolidating 270 others -- adding up to $144 billion in savings.
NO MORE $500 HAMMERS -- President Clinton signed federal" procurement reform
legislation that cuts red tape for purchases under $100,000. It empowers front-line
managers to make decisions on purchases of less than $2,500. And it is estimated
�page: 4
that this new law will save $50 on every single item purchased (under $2,500).
THE NATIONAL VOTER REGISTRATION ACT - In 1993, the President signed the
National Voter Registration Act (or the Motor Voter Bill). Opening the doors of
democracy to millions of disenfranchised Americans, Motor Voter increases the
number of eligible voters, improves the accuracy of registration rolls and will spur
increased voter participation in elections. Motor Voter is expected to dramatically
increase the percentage of Americans registered to vote -- already within five months
of its enactment, two million additional citizens have registered to vote.
INCREASING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES HEAD START -- As we enter the 30th year of Head Start, the Clinton Administration
has expanded services to cover families with children ages 0-3. The President's
dramatic increase in Head Start funding will allow almost 800,000 children to
participate in this preschool education program this year -- up from 621,000 in 1992.
GOALS 2000 -- The Goals 2000: Educate America Act sets world-class education
standards and provides voluntary assistance to states and communities to implement
education reform -- a partnership between states and communities and Washington.
More than 40 states have already chosen to participate and develop their own plans
for educational reform.
STUDENT LOAN REFORM ACT - The Student Loan Reform Act greatly increases
access to higher education -- 20 million students can take advantage of the Direct
Student Loan program which lowers the cost of college loans for students and
dramatically slashes overhead costs for the college loan program - saving taxpayers
up to $12 billion over the next five years. Direct student lending has already been a
success - serving 104 schools and over 252,000 students in the first year.
NATIONAL SERVICE -- National Service helps students further their education while
serving their communities; those who want to contribute through public service can
receive college tuition assistance. In the next three years, as many as 100,000
Americans will participate in National Service's grassroots program, AmeriCorps -there are already 20,000 AmeriCorps volunteers serving in their communities. This
year, there are more people now in AmeriCorps than ever served in the Peace Corps
in a single year.
BRIDGING THE CLASSROOM AND THE WORKPLACE - The School-to-Work
Opportunities Act bridges the classroom and the workplace so that our young people
can compete and win in the global marketplace. School-to-Work-gives students the tools
they need to succeed -- strong academic and occupational skills and education after high
school -- preparing young people for first jobs and continuing education.
�page: 5
HELPING FAMILIES THE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT -- American families are no longer forced to
choose between the job they need and caring for a sick family member or loved one.
Because of the Family and Medical Leave law, more than 42 million workers have job
protection in the form of unpaid leave during a family crisis.
TAKING CARE OF AMERICA'S CHILDREN - The U.S. now has the highest
immunization rates in history. Under the Childhood Immunization Initiative, this
Administration has worked with states, doctors, and community leaders to increase
childhood immunization rates from 55 percent in 1992 to 67 percent in 1993 for the most
basic vaccines. And, the Women, Infants and Children Program (WIC) was put on a
full-funding path so that by the end of 1996, all eligible children between the ages of one
and four will be served. That means that an additional two million children will have
access to the WIC program, a nutrition program that serves pregnant and post-partum
women and their children.
PROTECTING WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH - The President is safeguarding
women's reproductive rights. He repealed the "Gag Rule" that restricted abortion
counseling at federally funded family planning clinics; revoked the import ban on RU-486;
signed the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act; and signed the National
Institutes of Health Revitalizatlon Act which, among other things, created the Office of
Research on Women's Health.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT =*
ENVIRONMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH INITIATIVES - President Clinton is reforming
environmental programs to make them work better and cost less, to better protect public
health and to provide lasting opportunity for generations to come. Environmental
accomplishments include: Reinventing environmental regulations -- a comprehensive
set of 25 actions including a 25% cut in paper work to comply with environmental
standards and a six month enforcement grace period for businesses which act in good
faith; a Northwest Forest Plan -- putting Northwest communities back to work again,
while conserving ancient forest; Community-Right-to Know -- expanded requirements
that companies disclose information about toxic releases in their area; Protecting the
California Desert ~ signed the largest single designation of parks and wilderness area
ever in the lower 48 states; and Wetlands Reform -- reformed the wetlands program to
cut red tape, increase fairness and flexibility for landowners, and protect and enhance
the nation's wetlands.

This memo discusses the what the Republicans did for radio talk shows during the
GOP Convention, what we have done to date, and some methods we might consider to
beef up our effons. The idea is that when all is said and done, while the GOP might have
provided more services to its top shows, we will have serviced more shows. I am very
interested in your comments on this approach - could you get back to me at 202 488 5062?
I - What the GOP Did
We got the following information from syndicated talk show host, Aaron Harbor,
who attended the Republican National Convention and who will also be a delegate at the
Democratic Convention. The GOP had a full plan with 3tiersof service.
1.
Top conservative shows such as Mary Matalan, Oliver Nonh and Roger Hedgecock
received many services from the party, including full access credentials for both the host
and staff, top priority in securing guests (North got all the top names at the Convention,
including Gingrich, Dole, Armey and others), and press coverage. The GOP helped these
shows by involving them in "subprograms" covered by C-Span (i.e. MataJin being
involved in a youth forum covered on television). In short, they went out of their way to
get their best shows positive press coverage.
2.
The second tier got services wherever necessary for their shows. The GOP did not
got out of its way, however, to promote or assist these shows.
3.
The third tier, which included liberal shows like Harbor, were basically left to fend
for themselves. These shows were more or less ignored by the Convention.
On top of this, the GOP provided troubleshooters to all these radio programs to
ensure that their broadcasts went smoothly. The top tier shows got 2-3 troubleshooters for
each show. Shows on lowertierswere supplied with one troubleshooter or shared
troubleshooters with several other shows.
Harborrecommendsthat we do some similar things with regards to our favorite
hosts. The most appetizing part of what the GOP did, according to Harbor, was the free
media covemge that the GOP tried to drum up. The "subprograms" and media coverage
seems to have flattered these hosts and promoted the party's message through other means.
For example, Harbor suggests that we try to promote tht fact thai he is a delegate as well as
a talk show host to try to generate media interest in his show.
II - Where We Stand Now
We received authorization to invite friendly talk shows to the convention only on
August 12 - a week ago. In that time we have called approximately 80 shows and sent
written materials explaining our offer to about 50 who requested it. Only a handful of

shows had accepted as of Friday, and we guess that we might be looking at about a dozen
shows, total, in this category by the end.
Many shows said we were simply contacung them too late. Some said that they
were going to send reponers and would like to work with us at the convention to get guests
via telephone link.
-About 20 shows, not on our invitation lists, called us directly and asked for our
help at the convenuon. We suspect there are potentially many more in this category and
this may be an area that we should expand service into (see ffl-l below).
Finally, we anticipate that there will be about 15-20 large, syndicated and large local
stations who will also attend the Convention, but who have gone through Tina Tate and not
us.
Thus, as of now, we may be looking about about 50 shows, total, that we will be
dealing with at the convention - probably not as many as we want.
EH - Extra Effort
We could expand our reach in talk radio to shows not attending the convention but
wanting to interview guests by phone link-up. ACTION STEPS:
1. Send a blast fax today to 100 additional shows in targeted markets telling them we want
to help them get guestsfromthe Convention and to please let us know now, this week,
whether they are going to want to avail themselves of this service. We could say that they
should call us in Washington this week and that we will Stan the booking process for them
right now.
2. We nejsd a master list of the people who are planning to attend the Convention, with
contact person, phone and fax numbers, etc., so we could call the appropriate ones this
week and ask whether they would be willing to be guests on the aforementioned shows.
We could begin the process of matching shows with guests before we ever get to the
Convention. We could probably process about 60-70 requests this way before we ever get
to the Convention.
3. We need a list as soon as possible of all the talk shows that are planning to attend the
Convention, regardless of whether they're on our "friends list" or not. As indicated above,
I am estimating this might be in the vicinity of 50 shows, but I'd like to know for sure. I
propose sending a fax offering our services to the stations in this group that are in targeted
markets.
4. Once we decide what sons of numbers of talk shows we are talking about servicing, we
will probably need extra manpower assigned to us as (volunteer) trouble-shooters to help
service them.
Of course, we will give extra special service to the small group of hosts that have
accepted our original offer, but the main thrust of our "Radio Showcase" could now
become that we service anyone who asks for help. We'll reach a bigger audience that way.
The difference between us and the GOP could be that they provided better service to
a few top stations, but we serviced more stations. This, I feel, would help the President
and all Democrats in our future relations with the talk industry as we enter a full-blown
campaign season.

Mr. Rosenberg provoked angry exchanges when he took issue with Mr.
DeLay's recommendation that Rep- seen extraordinary
resentative Robert K. Dornan, Republican of California, lead Congres: deference paid.
By RICHARD L. BERKE •
WASHINGTON, March 11 - To
hear about "scandal lurking" in the
White House,.the "environmentalist
wackos^ in Congress and the "selfimportant media elite" who report
on both, millions of Americans turn
to Rush Limbaugh.
And for his own political material,
the wizard of conservative call-in
radio turns to a 27-year-old who
looks young enough to pass for a
Congressional page.
His name is Joel C. Rosenberg,
and his title is director of research'
for The Limbaugh Letter, a monthly
publication that is a part of Mr.
Limbaugh's empire. But he does
more than clip newspaper articles.
He is the eyes and ears — and, on
occasion, the muscle — of Mr. Limbaugh in the capital.
"Everyone who can't get to Rush
on the phone calls up Joel and pleads
with him to get Rush to mention
their pet cause," said William Kristol, a leading Republican theorist.
"That's his role in our nation's capital."
Burton Yale Pines, who was a
senior vice president of the conservative Heritage Foundation when he
hired Mr. Rosenberg as an assistant
a few years back, calls him "a kid"
but adds, "I've been at meetings of
conservative activists, and they
have paid extraordinary deference
and have been solicitous of him."
From the Heritage Foundation's
Capitol Hill headquarters, where Mr.
Rosenberg retains office space even
though he no longer works for the
foundation,.he faxes material to his
boss in New York, home base for Mr.
Limbaugh's syndicated radio and
television programs, and telephpnes
tidbits to him or his staff.
Mr. Rosenberg trolls the corridors
of Congress, makes the rounds of
conservative strategy sessions and,
to pick up intelligence and "keep the
Clinton Administration guessing,"
even shows up unannounced at Democratic functions. Compounding the
influence of Mr. Limbaugh — whom
associates say he worships — he
sends Congressional" leaders excerpts from the broadcasting superstar's on-the-air ruminations.
Some conservatives ridicule Mr.
Rosenberg, although not for publication, as little more than a glorified
Mr. Limbaugh's condemnation of
the proposal. That way, he said, the
lawmakers did not have to worry
about opposing what, might otherwise have been a popular bill. "Joel
let them know that their constituents
were up to speed on the weaknesses
of the bill," Mr. Norquist said. "Then
the bill got beaten."
Mr. Rosenberg graduated -from
Syracuse University with a film degree in 1989 and lives in Alexandria,
M
sional efforts to effectively eliminate
the position of Surgeon General.
"We can't have B-l Bob leading
the charge," participants quote Mr.
Rosenberg as saying, a reference
more to Mr. Dornan's reputation as
a take-no-prisoners firebrand than to
his ardent defense of the B-l bomber, built partly in his district.
Mr. Dornan, who was not at the
luncheon, says he confronted Mr.
Rosenberg a week later. "He assured me that he was misunderstood," Mr. Dornan said. "So many
people got up to dress him down and
holler at him that he never had the
opportunity to explain." By Mr. Dornan's account, that explanation was
that Mr. Rosenberg had simply
thought it best for a new face, a
House freshman, to lead the drive on
the issue. (Nonetheless, it was Mr.
Dornan who won the designation in
the end.)
Since he sometimes fills in as host
on Mr. Limbaugh's radio program,
Mr. Dornan said, he was all the more
surprised at word that Mr. Rosenberg had attacked him. "Joel is
young and new to the process," he
said. "So I have to take Joel at his
word that a Rush Limbaugh representative is not going to be lashing
out at the person who gets the highest ratings sitting in for Rush."
Mr. Limbaugh and his staff are
reported to be concerned that Mr.
Rosenberg has been too confrontational in his dealings with lawmak. ers, but no one from the Limbaugh
organization would agree to be interviewed about him. Kit Carson, Mr.
Limbaugh's chief of staff, would only
confirm Mr. Rosenberg's title and
say that neither he nor Mr. Limbaugh had any comment to make.
Nor would Mr. Rosenberg himself
say very much. "I'm a behind-thescenes kind of guy, and I like it that
way," he said in explaining why,
after discussing it with Mr. Limbaugh, he too was unwilling to submit to a full interview, or even be
photographed.
Interviews or no, Mr. Rosenberg is
becoming more visible on Capitol
Hill. During the Congressional debate on the balanced-budget amendment, his was a familiar presence in
offices of conservatives like Senator
Larry E. Craig, Republican of Idaho.
"Rush Limbaugh has a pretty loud
horn, and we wanted him to play it as
loud as he could on the balanced
budget," said David Fish, Mr.
Craig's press secretary: "We reminded him of that through Joel."
Va., with his wife, Lynn, and their
baby. He was hired by the Limbaugh
organization a year ago at the recommendation of former Education
Secretary William J. Bennett, for
whom Mr. Rosenberg worked at another conservative organization,
Empower America, after leaving the
Heritage Foundation.
"Rush doesn't need eyes and ears
in terms of newspapers and stories,"
said Peter Wehner, the policy director at Empower America. "But Joel
can act like a filter," he said, telling
Mr. Limbaugh, " 'You might want to
keep your eye on the flat tax.' "
Mr. Rosenberg considers himself
something of an expert on Israel,
where he has traveled extensively
and spent a year as a" student at Tel
Aviv University. The summer before
his graduation from Syracuse, he
worked at the State Department,
helping produce a videotape that introduced Israel to Foreign Service
officers newly stationed in Tel Aviv.
Mr. Rosenberg was reared in a
Jewish household but now describes
himself to acquairttances as ah evangelical Christian. Mr. Pines, his former superior at the Heritage Foundation and now the chief operating
officer of National Empowerment
Television, was taken aback two
years ago when Mr. Rosenberg, who
"regarded himself as a rather committed Zionist," was attacked by allies of Israel for opposing American
loan guarantees to the Israelis. That
opposition "enraged some folks,"
Mr. Pines said.
To hear some Democrats tell it,
there is reason for surprise in Mr.
Limbaugh's having a researcher at
all. A report last year by the liberal
advocacy group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting concluded that
Mr. Limbaugh was guilty of dozens
of instances of "sloppiness, ignorance or fabrication."

Warned ofProblem
In Ice Flight Rules
By STEPHEN ENGELBERG A *
and ADAM BRYANT
Weeks before an ATR-72 flew into
freezing drizzle and crashed near
Roseiawn, Ind., the nation's top aviation safety official seemingly put to
rest a decade-long debate, declaring
that there was no need to require
that planes be better equipped for
such weather.
David R. Hinson, the Federal Aviation Administrator,'wrote in a letter to the National Transportation
Safety Board that his agency had
underwritten more than 10 years of
research on the,subject. "None of
this work has established the foundation or justification," he said, to
change the existing standards, which
require manufacturers to design
planes that fly through small water
droplets, not the larger droplets of
freezing drizzle or freezing rain.
The crash last'Oct. 31 of American
Eagle Flight 4184 in Indiana changed
all that, prompting the Federal Aviation Administration to begin testing
airplanes for the effects of much
larger water droplets than are cov- •
ered in the existing rules.
Thirteen years of correspondence
between the F.A.A. and the safety
board over this issue, released by the
board in response to a request by
The New York Times, make clear
for the first time that some Federal
safety experts were pushing to

toughen the icing standards years
- before the Roseiawn crash.
The accident, the first involving a
modern turboprop airplane in the
United States, prompted the F.A.A.
to undertake an intense review of the
ATR's capabilities in icy conditions.
By December, agency officials were
persuaded that the water droplets of
freezing drizzle, about five times
larger than the droplets specified by
the existing standards, could cause
dangerous ice shapes to build up on
the wings.
But the correspondence shows
that the safety board had been raising questions about freezing drizzle
since 1981, when it recommended
that the F.A.A. revise its standards.
The board asserted in 1983 that "a
safety problem. exists" because
freezing rain and freezing drizzle
were much less rare conditions than
had previously been thought.
An investigation by The Times
concluded last month that the Roselawn accident was a crash that did
not have to happen. It found that the
F.A.A. brushed aside warnings from
the pilots, experts and the behavior
THE
ffEWyORK
At the recent safety board hearings on that crash, the plane's manufacturer acknowledged that it had
missed chances to detect the underlying cause of the plane's sensitivity
to icy conditions. But company officials insisted that their plane met
and exceeded existing American
standards.
Soon after the Roseiawn crash, the
F.A.A. said it would test all other
airplanes to see if they had a similar
vulnerability; officials expect most
planes operating in this country to
get a passing grade. The company
that manufactures the ATR believes
that it,', can fix the problem by increasing the size of the de-icing
system on the wing's leading edge,
at a cost of $20,000 per plane.
Corxerns Raised
About Drizzle
Contrary to the F.A.A.'s view that
"none" of the research provided a
basis for changing the standards, the
documents made public at the hearings show that F.A.A.-sponsored scientists were raising concerns in the
late 1980*s about precisely the sort of
freezing drizzle conditions that
caused the Roseiawn crash. Drizzle
droplets, they had theorized, were
actually more dangerous than the
larger freezing rain because they
were of a size and shape that could
most effectively build up on aerodynamically sensitive parts of the
winjg.
Mr. Broderick said that none of
these papers explicitly called for the
rules to be rewritten, or said how
that could be done. The F.A.A.'s last
icing expert retired in 1989. He has
not been replaced, and Mr. Broderick complained in an earlier interview that the research underwritten

INITIATIVE
TALK RADIO
"Move over Rush Limbaugh, here comes Jon-Christopher Bua." So says The Post and
Courier, South Carolina's oldest daily newspaper, following a speakers training session Jon
recently conducted there. Indeed, Rush seems to be looking over his shoulder these days,
having several times mentioned Jon on his shows.
Speakers Training Sessions
You, too, can be part of this effort. It's easier than you think. You can even do the
interviews from your office or home. And they can be stimulating and exciting - if you know
how. Jon runs special training sessions to help you. The sessions cover many useful points,
including the following:
* Speaking exercises
to build confidence
* How to get on Talk
Radio as a guest or a "call-in"
* How to stick to the
message
* Talking points on the
issues of the day
* How to take on hostile
hosts through role playing
* Practical tips for
your appearances.
Since this summer, Jon has conducted these sessions in the following states: New
Mexico, Maine, New York, Kentucky, Louisiana, Virginia, South Carolina, and Iowa, with the
following scheduled for the future: Arizona, Puerto Rico, California, and Florida.
Identifying Friendly Shows
During the last two years, Jon has identified more than 1,000 radio stations interested
injiosting pro-Democratic gppaVpxg and has snrttaj thU information by state an d_within state, by
Congressional District and media market. Upon request, he makes this informationavailable
to members of the Democratic family. Using this list saves you a lot of time booking speakers.
�Talk Radio Is Cost-Effective
Talk Radio is an extremely cost-effective way of reaching large numbers of registered voters.
Take for example, one well-known large-audience program on WABC which reaches 120,000140,000 registered voters in the New York media market. Though all shows are not as big as
this one, others are much larger, especially nationally syndicated shows which may reach 5001000 stations. Getting many pro-Democratic speakers on the air is thus a good way of making
millions of voter contacts each month.
And it's virtually free. The radio stations pay the costs of the telephone interviews with
the speakers.
LIVE EVENTS
Besides training speakers to appear on Talk Radio, Jon trains them to appear at live
events, such as: Committee meetings and conventions; training seminars; media events; public
events; Town Hall meetings; and conferences.
Provides Written Briefing Materials
To supplement his coaching of speakers, Jon provides them with written materials,
including a "Call to Action" briefing book full of one-page issue briefs and written tips on how
to handle Talk Radio. Upon request, Jon will supply these materials to other members of the
Democratic family.
Can Get You on the Internet
Capitol Watch, an internet program which will eventually go out to 30 million people,
has offered the DNC a free hour every Wednesday from 8-9 pm, called "Live from the DNC."
Where appropriate, Jon can book speakers on this.

Radio Show - Talking Points
Prepared by Jon-Christopher Bua, Director, Speakers Bureau
HOSTS
Tips for dealing with "hostile" radio show hosts:
* Know What the Host Wants. The host wants an entertaining and lively show. You
need to project high-energy and interest in the show and that you welcome a vigorous debate.
If you are boring, the host will feel the need to "heat it up" with harsh rhetoric, rudeness, etc.
* Praise Your Host. You can defuse a hostile host in a tongue-in-cheek manner, such
as, "Come on, you're a smart guy, Bob. You have influence with thousands of listeners. They
believe what you say. Let's talk about the good things about America and what hard-working
people just like you are doingrightnow to make things better. For example, the President is
proposing that..."
* Stick to Your Central Message. Do not allow the host to side-track you. Make sure
you know your central message ahead of time, plot out your principal points and how you want
to deliver them. Do not feel you have to wait for the host to give you an uninterrupted
opportunity to rattle off your points. For example, "Now hold on, Bob. Let's get something
straight. The Administration is fighting to improve the standard of living for all Americans.
The Administration is determined to make our schools and communities safe and to preserve and
strenghten families. President Clinton believes the American Dream is for every family, and
every child and is working to provide opportunities for all Americans. Our President is
showing leadership by standing up for America, by doing what'sright- not because it is easy,
1 ....
�but because it should be done. President Clinton is working to find the common ground in
order to get beyond divisive rhetoric and take real action on the issues that are before us. This
is the great Democratic tradition and we will not turn back."
* Appeal to Fairness. You can counter hostility by appealing to the American sense
of fairness. For example, "Oh come on, Bob, you don't have to attack me/my agency/the
President/Hillary that way. Your listeners deserve better. Let's have a good, balanced debate
on the issues. Let's talk about substance. Let's talk about the issues that have a real impact on
Americans every day."
* Be Prepared for Obscure Facts. Some hosts may try to slam you with obscure facts
or conspiracy theories. For example, the host tells you that the U.N. is organizing tank
battalions in Mississippi to overthrow the Constitution. You can respond, "That's not my area
of expertise but it sounds awfully far-fetched. But, speaking of the United Nations, the
President has taken the lead in better using the U.N. to save starving children in..." The key
is that you can always just change the subject. For example, "Bob, that's aridiculousquestion.
Here's something you listeners may really want to know..." If the host says that you're ducking
the question, answer that, "Well, Bob, your listeners can hear that sort of stuff from you on any
other day - when I'm not your guest on the show. I think I can give your listeners some real
substantive information. For example, did you know that..."
* You Can Bypass Your Host and Go Directly to the Listeners. By putting a human
face on the issues, cuts in child care for example, you can appeal to women with children who
are being hurt by the Republican budget cuts. Reach out to the women listeners who may not
usually call in and challenge the host to let them through the screener.
2
�* End on a Positive Note. No matter how painful the show was, thank the host and
say, "I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to be on your show, and believe it or not, while
we may disagree about a lot of things, it is always a pleasure to talk with people across the
country and let them know that this Administration cares about their concerns. I look forward
to being invited back on your show."
"HOSTILE" CALLERS
Tips for Democrats in handling "hostile" callers on radio shows:
* You Are Every-Democrat. If you are connected to Washington or work for the
government callers immediately identify you "as" the President, "as" the Federal Government,
"as" the embodiment of and spokesperson for the Democratic Party, and you therefore are their
target of frustrations. In this situation you speak for every Democrat. Keep your composure.
Address hostile grievances with understanding. Example, a hostile caller rants about the hard
times she is experiencing, answer her that "I know you haven't felt the impact of the economic
recovery yet. Sometimes it takes time. Did you know that the President's programs have
created over 6 million jobs in the past two years, more than double the previous four years?"
Do not just list accomplishments. You must weave them into a thoughtful, understanding answer
that demonstrates that Democrats are connected to every day concerns.
* Ask Callers Questions. You can defuse a caller's hostility by establishing a link with
him or her. Example, "Sam, do you have children? You want them to go to college, don't
you? I've had to go into debt to put my kids through school, too. It isn't easy. Let me assure
you, the President cares about children because they are our future. In fact, the President is
making college loans more affordable to middle class Americans, he is working on getting all
3
�of our kids immunized against disease," etc. Demonstrate that you care about the caller beyond
his or her vote and that you can identify with core concerns.
* Stick to Your Topic. If callers go on tirades about an obscure or absurd issue, tell
them that you came on the show to talk about substantive issues in your area of expertise and
ask the host to direct the conversation back to substance and maintain the dignity of the
conversation. "I really am unfamiliar with that allegation. Honestly, it sounds like someone
just made it up as a joke. I was invited on this program to talk about substance, about jobs, like
the fact that the President's proposals will..." The bottom-line is that you can control the
debate if you are polite but assertive. Callers and hosts will walk all over you only if you
let them.
* Heated Debate is OK. You can have a "hot" discussion about sensitive issues without
losing control. For example if a caller raises a "hot" topic in reference to the President, you
can answer, "I understand that the President is a deeply religious man and he is a regular
church-goer. He is the President because he wants to improve the lives of every American and
I am very proud to serve him." In this way you can defend the President and Democrats
without seeming to be defensive.

�"Calling In" to Radio Talk Shows"
Most TALK RADIO shows have call-ins. Even if you are not an invited guest on a show you
can still get the Democratic messsage across by calling in (and the tips above on dealing with
"hostile hosts" may still apply to your situation). Getting on the air as a caller in the first place,
however, involves some strategy. Getting on the air on a popular TALK RADIO show involves
two phases: beating the crowd and getting past the screener.
Beating the crowd. Popular shows will provoke many callers and it may be difficult to get
through. Here are a few techniques which will improve your chances:
•
Call early in the show, before the crowd reacts to the tenor of the show and
decides to call in.
•
For the same reason, call early in a discussion, before it ends.
•
As soon as you get a busy signal, quickly hang up and dial again. A telephone
with a redial feature facilitates this. You may have to call 6-7 times or more to
get through.
•
If the line does ring but no one answers for a while, do not be discouraged. Stay
on the line. You are actually closer to getting your call answered than if you hang
up, redial and get a busy signal.
Getting by the screener.
Once your call is answered, you may have to satisfy a screener that
you are acceptable to the host. Here are some tips:
•
Complement the show.
•
When asked what you want to discuss, do not lie, but on the other hand make
your reservations about the host seem bland. A caller who successfully got by
5 -•
�the Rush Limbaugh screneer said, " I am calling because I like the show, but I
think that sometimes Rush attacks people's religion and patriotism."
Sound dumb. Even though you may have indicated a difference of opinion with
the host, appear to present an opportunity for him to demolish you with his
"superior" intelligence. Once you get on the air, you can really unload.
Be prepared to wait in line. You may have to wait on hold for an hour before
getting on the show.

�PRACTICAL TIPS FOR RADIO
1.
Be at your desk at the time the host is scheduled to call. Obviously, it is crucial that the
host has the correct telephone number.
2.
Make sure that the host announces on the air what your title is and what topic you are
to speak about. If he/she doesn't, do it yourself. If your name is difficult to pronounce, make
sure the host gets it right.
3.
Conversely, know the host's name. Say, "Hi, Bob, it's a pleasure to be on your show.'
4.
Know how long you are scheduled to be on the air. If the show is going really well the
host or producer may ask you to stay on longer. It's your choice.
5.
Keep in mind that you can do a show from any telephone. The host cannot see you.
You can spread as many notes out on your desk as you like. Use the Speakers Bureau "CALL
TO ACTION" binder of information (available from the DNC) and tab it by issue area so you
can cite hard facts on the air on the budget, crime, jobs, etc.
6.
Use the daily newspaper. Quote the President and other pro-Democratic sources.
Remember, many Americans do not read the newspaper and only get their news from TALK
RADIO. Use your chance to educate them.
7.
Make sure you know and support the Administration's position on specific issues if you
answer in detail. If you are unsure about an issue or a fact, just say so and move on, or you
can ask for a caller's name and address and offer to send him/her the information requested.
8.
Last, but not least, remember that practice makes perfect. It may take a few shows for
you to become comfortable in the TALK RADIO format. You may want to start with a show
that isn't nationally syndicated or in a big market. And, most of all, have fun!!!!
GOOD LUCK!

�DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
TALK RADIO INITIATIVE
The following document lists radio stations in the State of New York which have expressed
interest in the Democratic message. The stations are sorted by all media markets within each
congressional district, with major market stations listed in bold print.
If a radio station was not listed, it is either because it did not have a Talk Radio format, was too
small, or was not interested in coordinating guests through us.
Preceding each congressional district radio talk-show breakdown is election result information
supplied by the National Committee for an Effective Congress. It consists of three
things:
* Election returns for the most recent congressional race for all candidates.
* Democratic Performance (DP). This is an average percent of the vote
Democratic candidates (not just congressional candidates) have received over the
last few election cycles in that district.
* Each presidential candidate's percentage of the 1992 vote.
Note: The DP has not been updated to reflect the 1994 results. When this information is
available, we will substitute it for the current figures.

Notes
�THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION AND ITS AGENDA FOR WOMEN
President Clinton promised to "make government work for women" and he has. We are helping working
families and empowering women through:
ECONOMIC SECURITY: We are committed to increasing the minimum wage and have given an historic tax
break, the Earned Income Tax Credit, to over 15 million working but lower to moderate income households,
a majority of whom are women and their families.
We are working to protect Head Start and the school lunch program, while
implementing the Family and Medical Leave Act. Our childhood immunization program is insuring that all
our children are vaccinated against disease.
FAMILIES AND CHILDREN:
FREEDOM OF CHOICE: We repealed the "gag rule" which prevented medical professionals from telling their
patients all the information they need to make reproductive decisions, and signed the Freedom of Access to
Clinic Entrances Act to ensure that women and their doctors can enter clinics without fear of intimidation or
violence.
Our crime prevention program has enhanced our security through, the Assault
Weapons Ban taking dangerous weapons off the streets, the Brady Law working to keep handguns from
criminals, and the Crime Bill adding new cops on the beat. We've initiated the first comprehensive federal
effon tofightviolence against women and to protect therightsof victims, the Violence Against Women Act,
including over $26 million for states to help abused women and victims of sex crimes.
SAFETY AND SECURITY:
We've put women's health concerns at the top of the national health agenda. We're protecting
Medicare and increasing research money for breast and ovarian cancer and osteoporosis.
HEALTH:
With our Student Loan Reform Act 20 million students can take advantage
of low-interest rate loans and betterrepaymentterms. We're promoting educational policies that will increase
the number of women who complete degrees in math, science and engineering. Our School-to-Work
Opportunities Act is assisting women and girls in developing the skills they need to compete for high-wage,
high-skill jobs.
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES:
We've made women full partners in government. Women make up 44% of our
appointments. A record 59% of all the Clinton Administration's judicial nominees are women and minorities.
APPOINTMENTS:
More than 250,000 womenrespondedto the Department of Labor's Women's
Bureau questionnaire asking them about their jobs. We have made specific recommendations to respond to
women's priorities for change: improving pay and benefits; balancing work and family; and valuing women
and women's work through better training and fairness on the job.
WORKING WOMEN COUNT!:
President Clinton has firmly stated his support for Affirmative Action as it gives our
nation a way to address the systematic exclusion of individuals of talent on the basis of their gender or race
from opportunities to develop, perform, achieve and contribute.

Technique resembles Democrats' fund-raising plan

THE .-.ASMINGION TIMES
The Republican National Commitice, which has criticized the
Democrats for "selling" access to
the White House for $100,000 donations, is conducting a similar
fund-raising campaign that promises donors White House strategy
;ind issue sessions if President
Clinton is ousted next year.
The GOP offer is cheaper —
only 520,000 per family or $7,500
for members under age 35.
A glossy fund-raising brochure,
featuring photos of former President George Bush and his wife,
Barbara, offers an impressive array of access, trinkets and memberships to every donor in the
520,000 "Eagles" club.
In return, the RNC hopes to
raise S14.S million to fund next
year's presidential campaign.
"The fund-raising goals of the Republican Eagles are essential to
the party in fully funding this election cycle's Presidential TYust and
Victory 96 efforts," the brochure
reads.
Charles Lewis, executive direc;or of the Center for Public Integrity, chastised both the Democratic and Republican fund-raising strategies as "blatant, crass . .
attempts to buy and sell influ-
Republicans."
An RNC official declined to release the brochure, saying it is a
"strategic" document that details
standard fund-raising techniques.
The Washington Times has obtained pages from the pamphlet
describing the Eagles club, which
is managed by Karen Kessenlch.
A single membership in the Eagles costs $15,000, but another
$5,000 grants a member's spouse
equal privileges.
Among the benefits:
• Participation in special trade
missions to countries such as
China and Sweden, as well as with
government officials in London,
Paris, Budapest and Hong Kong.
• Meetings with top Republican
officials. "Participants have included Republican presidents (at
the White House), governors, and
former administration officials,"
the brochure reads.
• Access to a personal "regional
representative in Washington who
may be contacted with questions
r e g a r d i n g m e m b e r s h i p , additional benefits and upcoming activities, or for any assistance a
member may need during visits to
Washington, D.C."
• Participation in former President Gerald Ford's annual "Eagles Cup'' tennis and golf tournament in Rancho Mirage. Calif.

Diego.
• An invitation to a " p r i v a t e "
meeting with "the newly inaugurated president and vice president
of the United States" and preferential seating at the swearing-in
ceremony, i f « Republican is
elected next year.
The GOP benefits package is almost identical to one offered by
the Democratic National. Committee to contributors who donate at
least iiuu.uuo.
Includad in the DNC package —
also published in a brochure — are
promises of dinners and meetings
with Mr. Clinton, first lady H i l l a r y
Rodham Clinton and Vice President Al Gore.
Republican Party C h a i r m a n
Haley Barbour defended the Eagles Club fund-raising offers.
"You get invited to the inauguration, you get invited to the convention. That's very different than
saying you get to have dinner w i t h
the president. There is nothing in
there ever about a government
trade mission. Ever," he said.
Mr. Barbour said the so-called

elected, would be in a reception of

Dear Mr. President:
On behalf of our coalition, let me express our gratitude to you, sir, for suggesting that some of the
rhetoric being expressed on the airwaves today may be feeding violence. It is amazing how
quickly many radio talk show "hosts" have expressed their indignation over your remarks dealing
with this subject. Initially, you never mentioned anyone by name or even used the term "talk show
host," yet, these people felt compelled to defend themselves. It's clear that all the negative rhetoric
is creating a divisive environment that fosters violence.
Our group was formed last fall because we recognized the venom that was being spewed by today's radio industry. Earlier on, each of our groups (listed above) was a target of demeaning ethnic and/or racial slurs as well as insulting remarks by one of our community's radio station's talk
show "host." Each of our groups tried to confront the management and ownership to cease and
quell this kind of talk. They assured us it would never happen again and then they would target
another group. The sad part in our case was the radio stations are owned by a locally prominent
family, not a corporate entity from another locale, and they choose to not interfere with their operations people. It truly hurts when one of your own community members accepts and thereby promotes this kind of bigotry.
The Hispanic leadership in our community had the foresight to call us together when they became
targets and realized that others had been subjected to the same demeaning treatment and thus
the formation of our coalition which we refer to as "chatter" (CHTR). We have been active in our
community for approximately six months dealing not only with radio management but with the
sponsors as well. I must say we have met with moderate success thus far, especially since the
Buffalo Teachers' Federation joined our ranks as they too were targets of demeaning and insulting
remarks.
We have conferred with Kenneth Stern, an authority on "Hate Talk Radio" whose brochure I have
taken the liberty to enclose and who was also interviewed by the major TV networks after the
The Coalition to Halt Hate Talk Radio (CHTR) has been formed by community groups in Western New York to ensure that our nation's airwaves
are used to disseminate entertainment and information to the public in a way that promotes and guarantees balanced dialogue; dialogue free of
bigotry, prejudice, hatred and insults which would and could provoke and/or incite racism and discrimination within our communities.
We uphold, without reservation, the guaranteed right of freedom of speech without censorship; further, we uphold the guaranteedrightthat every
person be protected from any bigoted and/or racist remarks, as well as insults, originating from any electronic media operation licensed by the
United States government and that we guard against bigotry becoming the basis upon which public opinion is built.
Preserve and Maintain Buffalo as the CITY OF GOOD NEIGHBORS

Oklahoma City bombing, again because of his expertise on the hate groups and militias operating
in our nation. He was extremely pleased with our group, it's formation, its work thus far and actually with its existence - especially in that we are a broad based community group.

support of your stand inregard to "Hate f alk Radipr^and^orofferJp^h^Rjn^ny wFcarrtostop"this~^ ^ c e r o ^ g £ Q ^ ^ ^ | | ^ ^ j r nation. To be perfectly honest, it is difficult for us7d"uni3eirstanaTvRy~"
"the people who own these radio properties would not to try lure listenership through creativity of
programming rather than "aping" each other. It is difficult for us to understand why these enterprises would not use the means at its disposal to coalesce the community, to unify , to do what it
can to initiate respect and understanding among its listening audience, to enhance the American
image rather than subject particular groups to ridicule, mockery, and bigotry. However, we do believe that since the withdrawal of the "Fairness Doctrine" by the FCC, there is no longer a means
by which the average citizen can challenge what is aired today, nor a chance for true openness
and dialogue.
We are confident that your leadership on this issue will continue to strengthen and gain momentum
because we truly feel that an overwhelming majority of people in these United States are decent
folk who desire responsible use of our airwaves.
With deep respect

Dear Mr. President:
Under separate cover, you have received a l e t t e r from S i r
David Nicholas, Chairman of the Board of Talk Radio O.K., a B r i t i s h
company which was recently awarded a license to broadcast a t a l k
radio network i n the United Kingdom. In his l e t t e r . S i r David
i n v i t e s you to be part of the f i r s t interview on the network,
sharing the program with Prime Minister John Major/
Emmis Broadcasting Corporation, i s one of the founders of Talk
Radio U.K., and holds a significant equity stake. We f e e l very
privileged to be part of t h i s venture. We bring to i t our own
special American approach to radio broadcasting; and we think our

Dear President Clinton:
I missed seeing you at the Thursday night fundraiser night at the convention. I was not feeling well, but I was
excited to be a few feetfromyou during your acceptance speech. My sister-in-law Julie saw you and was as
always delighted to get a hugfromyou. We both think that you are the best of the best. 1 can't wait till they
write the history of the two terms of the Bill Clinton presidency!
In any case, you said you were ready to do an interview, and I have a specific proposal.
I would like to do an interview, similar to the one we did before the 1996 election., but I want to focus on the
book you wrote, and how you see our mission leading into the next century. The focus would be on the last
four years and what your administration has done to better the lives of the "Americans who work hard and
play by the rules" and how you envision the next four years. Education, Family Leave, Earned Income Tax
Credit, and our role in making the world a safer place are the specific areas I would like to discuss. Also, I
would like to discuss how we have supported technology that keeps America as the leader for future
generations. I would like the interview to be really positive with that wonderful energy that you always
project.
Two years ago I was only doing radio, and now I also do some TV for News Talk Television. I would like to
tape the interview for TV and also radio. We would use on the following programs:
News Talk Television—
Our Morning Program- Good Day USA-- 140 stations and 150 cable stations that carry audio (75 cable in
California, and nine radio stations in Florida.)
The Talk Radio Countdown Show- 70 stations-- we would run it on our weekend show- Chicago and other
larger markets
My Individual stations which include stations in Albany NY, Rochester NY, Columbia MO. Oklahoma, (4
stations) Total: 22 stations
and also USA Radio Network which last time took the whole interview and used it for their 24 hour news
broadcasts by taking different questions.(1100 stations-many of them Christian)
and the show that we do (both TV and radio) for The Agency for International Development- we would use
the international question on that one.

September 12, 1995
We would put the photos and the audio on the Internet-- with Real Audio and leave it there during the
campaign. We have at least 14,000 people visiting our home page a month, and we just started to give out our
web site on radio.
The interview two years ago got tons of exposure. We still use the photos from it and it is even on our home
page.
I hope you will consider the interview. I think it would be great for the American people who listen to talk
programs to hear you and your vision for the twenty-first century.

G. Gordon Liddy: How to Make a B m at H m and "Kill the sons of bitches"

•
" K i l l thm BODH of bitehas" vith "Haad Sbots"; Liddy, who has expressed
eyapathy for right-wing militias, told hie listeners how to k i l l federal
Alcohol, Tobacco and rlrearns agents: "They've got a big target on there
- KIT. Don't shoot at that because they've got a vcot en underneath
that. Head shots, head shots." Later in the progran, Liddy said: "Kill
the oeno Of bitChea." fMinneepelln
fitar-grihune.

•
Liddy revised advice — Sheet ATF Agents in the "Groin Ar«e"i At an
April 25 press conference, Liddy revised his advice. "You shoot twice
to the body, center of nass, and i f that does not work, then shoot to
the groin area. They cannot use their — move their hips fast enough,
and you'll probably get a femoral artery, and you'll knock them down at
anv rate." fNew York Poet. 4/27/95]
•
liddy Telle Radio Audience to "Sheet Back"! on April 19, Liddy said
that, although he i s a longtime c r i t i c of the bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco
and Fircarmc (ATF), ho hae never advocated violence against the federal
agency. However, Liddy said he does believe people should "shoot back"
i f they are subject to an attack by the ATF.
"Anybody who hae listened to me knows that I have not advocated at any
tine bloving up the ATF, the building they're In, or anything else lik
that. What i have said is that if you ere subject to a lethal attack...
by the ATF, have a prearranged cellular call for members of the nilitia
who can come and protect you. And if they shoot, try to kill you, shoot
back. Save your life. That's obvious."
s^r^z^-.,.
Liddy also said that i f any connection i s .established between the;Branch
Davidian anniversary and the Oklahoma city bonbing i t should "wake up
Congress ' to hold oversight hearings on the role of the ATF. Such
hearings would "get to the bottom of Waco... and the war against the
American people," he said, especially " i f they're going to s i t there and
twiddle their thumbs wnen they should be holding hearings to get to the
bottom of Waoo... and the war against the American people." rDallas
Morning News. 4/20/95]

•
Liddy Supports "militiaa": Liddy told the Dallas Morning Nayfl that
callers to hie show have expressed interest in forming local militias to
help protect against attacks by federal agents.
"And what I said i s that-if you're going to make an arrangement like
that, you should have a pre-authorized signal that you can use Via a
cellular telephone, so that i f they cut your phone wires, you can be in
touch with your friends in the militia. And i f you're under assault by
thGRp. people, the militia can come and eurround them and force them to
cease end
desist."

Liddy T«ll» Audi«nc«ttovto Kftte Bombs at Bomot Liddy also desoribed for
listeners how to construct a bomb - using ammonium nitrate, diesel fuel
and dynamite.
"And that would do enormous work, the work would be either take out a
wall of a quarry, or take out that building," he said. After the show,
Mr. Liddy defended those remarks; "That i s common knowledge. Have you
ever heard of anything called The Anarchist Cookbook? I can t e l l you
how to make an atonic bomb, too." (Dallas Morning News. 4/20/95]
•
Liddy used drivings of president and Mrs. cilnton as targets: Liddy has
announced on his radio show that he uses drawings of the president and
Mrs. Clinton for target practice. " I thought i t might improve ny aim,"
said Liddy, " I t didn't." He added, "Having said that, I~ accept no

North Carolina "Militia" Group Quotes Uddy's "Meet Force with Force":
North Carolina militia leader Albert Esposito has repeated Liddy's
alleged statement about the new crime lav's assault weapons ban:
"[Liddy] said, 'If they pass i t , don't obey i t . And i f they cone after
you, neet force with force.'"
According to the Anti-Defamation League, Esposito's citizens for the
Reinstatement of Constitutional Government i s a mixture of
ant1-government, religious and conspiratorial ideas — supporting the
Bible and the Constitution, while resisting the New World Order and
removing "treasonous politicians and corrupt judges". The group is
encouraged to anass caches of the "Four B's": Bibles, bullets, beans and
bandages. Many members own semiautomatic weapons, including AR-15S and

Baker Backs "Armed Revolution" Against U.S. Government: Last August,
Linda Thompson of the "Unorganized Militia of the United states" came on
Baker's show to advocate an armed march on Washington to remove the
"traitors" in Congress: " e have 2 million U.S. troops, half of them are
W
out of the country . . . All of the troops they could muster would be
500,000 people. They would be outnumbered 5 to l if only 1 percent of

Baker, broadcasting front a gun shop, responded positively - telling his
guest that soldiers "would cone over to our side."
A week later, a caller urged the formation of organized militias and
asked, "Who do we shoot? Other than Kennedy, Foley and Mitchell, the
others are borderline traitors. They're the kingpins right now, besides
the Slick One (Clinton)... You've got to get your a m .
mo"
Baker's response was sympathetic; " m Z advocating the overthrow of this
A
government?... I'm advocating the cleansing." Citing the power of the
"masses in rebellion," he asked: "Why are we sitting here?"
Later that day, a caller accused Baker of advocating "armed rebellion."
The talk host corrected her: "An armed revolution."
Inspired by Baker, Baker lictener Duran and scores of other listeners
called a local congressional office in August to oppose an assault
weapons ban. So many calls were irate or obscene that Duran's threat to
"go to Washington and take someone out" went unnoticed.
Weeks later, in October, Duran fired nearly 30 bullets at the White
House, fMinneapolis Star-Tribune. 2/24/95]
•
Baker Takes Leave, Hot Responsibility: After the Denver Post reported
unsubstantiated rumors that Duran was inspired by Baker's chow, the
radio host took a leave of absence this month.
Talking about his decision on the air, Baker was quoted by the Denver
paper as saying: "So what i f the jerk, the waoko, the creep that shot
the White House said that? I f this man thinks I or Rush Limbauah are
the reason he went out there, ho needs psychiatric counseling in the
f i r s t degree."
KVOK general manager oonn seldhoiz said, " e have no proof whatsoever
W
that Duran listened to the show." He acknowledged, however, that "we
could have influence on people's behavior." "Do we take responsibility
for it? No," Seidholz said. rThe Sunday Gazette Mail. 11/27/94].

Decembers, 1995
Dear Mr. McCurry:
Enclosed is a letter inviting Presidei^£linton to address the R&R Talk Radio Seminar, an
unprecedented meeting of key talk radio decision makers.
The seminar, set for February 22-25 at the Washington Grand Hyatt Hotel (10th & H Streets,
NW), will bring together over 300 talk radio program directors, producers, station managers and
network executives. It promises to be the talk radio equivalent of a meeting of the American
Society of Newspaper Editors. You couldn't design a better environment for the President to
share his thoughts on talk radio's role in our political and governing processes.
The timing of the seminar — just days after the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary —
also makes it an ideal forum for Mr. Clinton to hold forth on the election and the campaign issues
of the day with members of one of the nation's more influential media.
Mr. McCurry, I know the President has had his differences with talk radio. But that's all the
more reason he should appear at this event. In my experience, talk radio people are human. If
Mr. Clinton shows up and offers some honest insight with the attendees, he is sure leave this
admittedly tough crowd with a more positive view of himself and his presidency. An example:
then-Vice President Dan Quayle made a personal appearance at a 1992 convention of radio talk
hosts and succeeded in completely disarming a group that perceived him as a faux pas prone
lightweight. In addition to receiving a thunderous ovation from the assembled talkers, Mr.
Quayle received glowing notices for his performance from the next day's Washington Post.
Our tentative agenda for the Talk Radio Seminar includes several opportunities for the President
to speak to the full group, including general sessions on Friday and Saturday mornings, as well
as a Friday luncheon. If these times don't fit with his schedule, we'd obviously be glad to add a
special general session at a time of your choosing.

Dear Mr. President:
On February 22-25, 1996 over 300 talk radio professionals will gather in
Washington, D.C. for the R&R Talk Radio Seminar. On behalf of R&R and
the radio industry, I invite you to address this unique event.
This meeting of talk program directors and network executives would provide
an excellent opportunity for you to expand on your often expressed concerns
about talk radio and its present role in our political process. Our attendees are
the people with the power to change how things are done in this increasingly
powerful medium, and I'm sure they would benefit from your input.
The timing of the seminar — just days after the Iowa caucuses and New
Hampshire primary ~ also makes it an ideal forum for you to share your views
on the election and the campaign issues of the day.

Presidential video speaking points
February 2, 1996
Thanks for following up with me on Wednesday. Here's what we'd like
from the President: a three-to-five minute video greeting to be played at the
opening session of the Talk Radio Seminar. The general theme should be
recognition for talk radio and its role in politics.
Some suggested points:
o A humorous welcome ii; which the President might tell the assembled
talk programmers and managers that Washington, is still a beautiful city despite having been sacked repeatedly by lioides of talk show hosts.
o Acknowledgement of talk radio's role in the political process, and,
perhaps, some thoughts on die responsibilities that go along with thai role.
o A tribute to the behind-the-scenes people who make the format work program directors, producers, managers, syndicators.
o Recognition of some of the talk hosts whom the President admires. He
may also want to honor the accomplishmenis of the four "Deans of Talk Radio"
who are being recognized at the seminar: KABC/Los Angeles' Michael Jackson,
WOR/New York's Bany Gray, WRKO/Boston's Jerry Williams, and
WABC/New York's Bob Grant.
o A nod to R&R (and Publisher Erica Farber) for taking on the challenge
and risk uf creating the first Talk-exclusive radio conference.
Thanks again for your help. Let's talk soon.

Society of Newspaper Editors. You couldn't design a better environment for the President to
share his thoughts on talk radio's role in our political and governing processes.
The timing of the seminar - just days after the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary also makes it an ideal forum for Mr. Clinton to hold forth on the election and the campaign issues
of the day with members of one of the nation's more influential media.
Mr. McCurry, I know the President has had his differences with talk radio. But that's all the
more reason he should appear at this event. In my experience, talk radio people are human. If
Mr. Clinton shows up and offers some honest insight with the attendees, he is sure leave this
admittedly tough crowd with a more positive view of himself and his presidency. An example:
then-Vice President Dan Quayle made a personal appearance at a 1992 convention of radio talk
hosts and succeeded in completely disarming a group that perceived him as a faux pas prone
lightweight. In addition to receiving a thunderous ovationfromthe assembled talkers, Mr.
Quayle received glowing notices for his performance from the next day's Washington Post.
Our tentative agenda for the Talk Radio Seminar includes several opportunities for the President
to speak to the full group, including general sessions on Friday and Saturday mornings, as well
as a Friday luncheon. If these times don'tfitwith his schedule, we'd obviously be glad to add a
special general session at a time of your choosing.

�If I sen&e an\ihing today, it seems like
a fhistration on \t>ur part about an inability
or just—for some reason, you haven't gotten
across to the American people the messages
that you want to get across. Is that pretty
much true?
Tht PrctuUni. Well, let me aslcyou something. I'm coming to St. Louis to inaugurate
the NUtroliuk. a Fcdcal project, which is
good for St. Luuis; to talk about the Summer
of Service and the crime bill, the most important crime legislation in the history of the
United States: and the national service program, which is going to have thousands of
young people working to make our communities safer, all of those things, initiatives
under my administration, and you didn't ask
me about any of them.
So I'm not frustrated about it exactly, but
\1 tell you. I liave determined that I'm going
to be uggrcssive about it. After I get off the
radio today with NTJU. Rush Limbaugh will
have . hours to say whatever he wants. And
1
I uun't have anv opportunity to respond. And
there's no truth detector. You won't eet on
afterwards and say what was true and what
wasn't. So all I'm telling you is, Fm going
to be far more aggressive because the American people are entitled to know what's going
on good in this country.
When I go overseas—I just got back from
Europe, and the European press came up
to me after—on several occasions—memben
of the press in Europe, and say, "What is
#>infr on in vour country? You've got things
uoing well; >> ore nothing like they portray
tu
vnu: the things that are happening are positive: we are bewildered." Members of die
press in Europe said that to me repeatedly.
So I decided instead of being frustrated, I
needed to be aggressive, and I'm going to
IK* aiyyessivc from here on in. I'm going to
tell what I know the truth to be. /
�[An intercieuxr asked the President if people
were becoming more cynical, less tolerant]
The President. Absolutely. I think there's
too much cynicism and too much intolerance.
But if vou'look at the information they get,
if you look at h w much more negative the
o
news reports are, how much more editorial
they are. and how much less direct they are,
if you look at how much of talk radio is just
a constant unremitting drumbeat of negativism and cynicism, you can't—I don't think
the American people are cynical, but you
can't blame them for responding that way.
We. for example, we had a meeting the
other dav. and a group of people were told
that unoer our budgets we were going to
bring the deficit down 3 yean in a row for
thefirsttime since Ham- Truman was President. And some of them said. "Well. I just
don't believe you. We never hear that on the
news. I iust don't believe you." It's a fart.
I've worked hard to do it. And we're going
to—we're bringing the deficit down. Tliat's
what bothen me. J
�Pons WMTUsrix) this countiy we cherish and guard the
In
fttvierJQin
right of free speech. We know we love it
when we put up with people saying things
^ssocorhbn of we absolutely deplore. And we must always
be willing to defend their right to say things
we deplore to the ultimate degree. But we
hear so many loud and angry voices in America today whose sole goal seems to be to by
to keep some people as paranoid as possible
and therestof us all torn up and upset with
each other. They spread hate. Thev leave the
impression that, bv their very words, that violence is acceptable. You ought to see—I'm
sure you are now seeing the reports of some
things that are regularly said over the airwaves in America tocffiT
.
"Well, people like that who want to share
our freedoms must know that their bitter
words can have consequences and that freedom has endured in this countiy for more
than two centuries because it was coupled
with an enormous sense of responsibility on
the part of the American people.
It we are to have freedom to speak, freedom to assemble, and, yes, the freedom to
bear arms, we must have responsibility as
well. And to those of us who do not agree
with the purveyors of hatred and division,
with the promoters of paranoia, I remind you
that we nave freedom of speech, too. And
we have responsibilities, too. And some of
us have not discharged our responsibilities.
It is time we all stood up and spoke against
that land of reckless speech and behavior.
If they insist on being irresponsible with
our common liberties, then we must be all
the more responsible with our liberties.
When they talk of hatred, we must stand
against them. When they talk of violence, we
must stand against them. When they say
things that are irresponsible, that mav have
egregious consequences, we must call them
on it. The exercise of their freedom of speech
makes our silence all the more unforgivable.
So exercise yours, my fellow Americans. Our
country, our future, oOr way of life is at stake.
I never want to look into the faces of another
set of family members like I saw yesterday,
and you can help to stop it.

to speakers, and chat in the hallways.
The event was so well-received, that R&R Publisher/CEO

at Saturday night's closing dinner
to announce the seminar will be
held again in 1997.

is a powerful medium and urged
broadcasters to take responsibility for their shows' content
"You have become America's
town hall. Take responsibility for
your words. It is notfreespeech
when somebody incites people to
violence," Stephanopoulos said,
referring to broadcasts by G. Gordon Liddy.
According to Stephanopoulos,
President Bill Clinton will not appear on either Rush Limbaugh's
or Uddy's shows because those
hosts have been excessively personal in their attacks on the President and First Lady Hillary
Rodham Clinton.

appearance by Tbny Blankley,

Dear Mr. Stephanopolis,
Merry Christmas! I have a gift for you. The opportunity to rebut many of the irresponsible
comments made by radio/T.V. talk-show host Rush Limbaugh.
I have written 232 pages of rebuttal to many of Rush Limbaugh's most irresponsible and
inaccurate statements made in his two books; The Way Things Ought to Be, and See, I Told
You So.
My book was originally scheduled for publication in November of this year, but unfortunately
my publisher has gone bankrupt and is now in the process of court ordered liquidation.
Therefore, I am searching for a new publisher with which to strike a deal and get this vital
information out to a misinformed public.

PAGE 74
CHAMPION OF THE MIDDLE-CLASS ?
Rush makes a great deal of noise about the "middle class" in his books and
on his shows. Is he sincere? Does he really "feel our pain" as he has so
often mocked Bill Clinton as saying during the campaign?
Although he doesn't use the same words as Clinton, he says essentially the
same thing in slightly a different way.
"The sympathy in this country is never for those on whose shoulders the
burden actually rests: the diligent middle class." The Way Things Ought
To Be, page 49)
However, Limbaugh goes a big step beyond Clinton when he whines that:
"The American middle class is just plain tired and worn out. They get
blamed for everything in this country. They are taxed more than ever, and
now they have to put up with lectures about how we have to ship billions of
dollars to the former Soviet Union..." (The Way Things Ought To Be, page
46)
and ... "/ am tired of hearing about how the problems of homelessness,
drugs, AIDS, and the economy are the fault of the middle class. How did I

hear about all those things? The Media, obviously." (The Way Things
Ought To Be, page 270)
Wait a minute! Who ever said the middle class caused all this? All I've
ever heard is that it's always us, the middle-income Americans, who have to
pay for it all, but I don't ever recall hearing anybody other than Limbaugh
claim that we caused all these problems. (Except, maybe, Ross Perot!)
Rush normally blames homelessness on the homeless he says: "many of the
homeless have only themselves to blame." (The Way Things Ought To Be,
page 253)
He also, routinely, implies that drug users and AIDS victims likewise have
only themselves to blame. As far as the economy goes, I've already cited the
following Limbaugh quotation, but it bears repeating here to properly fix
the blame according to Rush: "There is little doubt that the origins of our
recent recession can be traced to the '86 Tax Reform Act." (The Way Things
Ought To Be, page 38)
A tax hike signed into law by, none other than, Ronald Reagan.
So what's all this crap about the middle class being blamed for all these
© copyright 1994, Bruce J. Muckian, 2604 Platte Court, Puyallup, WA 98374, (206) 841-1807

PAGE 76
problems? Not even Limbaugh believes what he has written. But, Rush
goes on trying to "sell" his middle class compassion as i f he thinks we
believe him. He whines on: "If the government confiscates the wealth of the
middle class and spreads it among the poor, there is nothing compassionate
flowing from the middle class. The middle class have no choice in the
matter. In the process of trying to achieve Utopia the idealists cause harm to
the very people they seek to help. You cannot overburden the middle and
upper classes with taxes without negative consequences." (The Way Things
Ought To Be, page 268)
This is really interesting how Rush focuses on the dire impacts to the
middle class as the only source of taxes to help the poor and then slides in
the "upper classes" as if they are members of the same economic genre.
Pretty crafty bit of deception isn't it? This is how he uses the middle-class
as a springboard of support for his true constituency, the rich!
By the way, now that he's included the upper class in with us ordinary
middle class folks, does this mean he feels our pain? If he did feel it, then
wouldn't he want to share some of the millions of dollars he's made off of us
! y-
over the years to ease some of that pain we know so well? Hardly!
What's all this stuff about "Utopia"? Here's how Rush describes it: 7 think

it is Utopian to believe that we can eliminate suffering of all kinds. It is
certainly an honorable goal to attempt to reduce hunger, provide health care,
and diminish suffering. But it is simply not realistic to expect that every
citizen will have what he considers enough food and fine health care." (The
Way Things Ought To Be, page 265)
I'd have to agree with him on this last item. We may never eliminate all
suffering of all kinds, but at least we can try to eliminate as much of it as
we can. And, it does seem like it's always us middle-income Americans who
are expected to pay for it all, but I'll never accept his claims that we are to
blame for these problems. Never!
But Rush just keeps on beating this old drum as if he the only one who
knows the tune or has all the answers.
"Don't kid yourself I am fully aware of the very real problems our nation
faces. But I would rather suggest answers and solutions and encourage
people to take responsibility than to sit around and whine about how unfair
the world is." (See, I Told You So, page 16)
"In Billary's paternalistic Utopia, there will be family-leave bills, minimum
wage legislation, comparable-worth laws, affirmative-action plans, and, most

important, in order to protect American children from their greatest enemy -their own parents -• child-protection/parent emasculation laws." (See, I
Told You So, page 25)
Okay, maybe these aren't the best solutions to the problems in America.
But what solutions does Rush have that are better?
As long as he brought it up, will somebody please tell me what the hell is
wrong with the Family Leave Law? Would somebody please tell me what's
wrong with passing a law that basically says; Ebeneezer Scrooge must give
Bob Cratchet a little time off when Tiny Tim needs to go into the hospital
for life-saving surgery!? That's basically all the Family Leave law does. It
doesn't even require Scrooge to pay Cratchet his salary during the time he's
off of work, and Cratchet must prove to Scrooge that the time off is for a
medical necessity.
The Family and Medical Leave Act only applies to those businesses
employing 50 or more workers within 75 miles of the headquarters office.
il-v^ucB^
Small businesses will not be hurt by this law. It authorizes employers to
require medical certificates documenting the need for the leave. Other
L i L^r|
restrictions prevent employees from fraudulent use of FMLA time off. A
real medical crisis must exist, of such a serious nature that the employee

PAGE 79
would willingly give up a paycheck, before he or she would ever ask for
FMLA Leave. What is wrong with that?
So what else does Rush have to say about the diligent middle-class^
"The people we need to wean off government aren't all poor. Many are
middle-class people who've been suckered into believing that social security is
an insurance program and that the money they get comes from a trust fund
where their contributions have been deposited." (The Way Things Ought To
Be, page 148)
Wait a damn minute! Not only are we middle-income Americans paying
most of the taxes to fix the problems, but now Limbaugh says we have to be
"weaned off' the government and give up what few benefits we get from the
government! Some Champion of the Middle Class he turned out to be!
By the way ... What's this business he's giving us about being "suckered
into believing that social security is an insurance program'"? It is an
insurance program! The taxes we, mostly middle-income Americans, pay
into the social security system are FICA taxes. FICA stands for the Federal
Insurance Contributions Act. Notice the word "Insurance" in the title. How
much plainer could that be to anyone that social security is an insurance

program. Again, Rush Limbaugh clearly exhibits his own ignorance of the
facts or denial of the truth.
Limbaugh likes to claim that he provides "pure, concentrated, undiluted
piercing logic." I think I can prove once again that Limbaugh logic is about
as reliable as his command of the facts and twisting of the truth. Try to
follow his logic in this next Limbaughism.
"It's the people who have never looked to the government as a charitable
foundation that are most angry now. They are paying more in taxes every
year and are getting less and less in return." (The Way Things Ought To
Be, page 149)
Well, if these people never expected anything out of government in the first
place then why would they start complaining now that they are getting
less? How can you get less of nothing? This is not logical. Who are these
people, anyway? Obviously not the poor, who get everything from the
government according to Rush. They can't be the middle class either, since
the middle class needs to be weaned off the government. Logically, that
only leaves the rich. Ah Ha! Proof positive that Limbaugh uses the middle
class to protect his true constituency, the rich.

Don't believe me? Then read this: "You could say that this recession was
an upper-bracket recession. You may say that, well the rich deserved it.
Folks, the rich don't deserve it." (The Way Things Ought To Be, page 38)
Apparently only the us middle-class and poor do.
Still don't believe me? Okay then. What if you heard (or read) it from
someone else? Would that make a difference?
Here's what author Michael Arkush wrote in his book called Rush!: "From
his days with the [Kansas City] Royals to his radio job in Sacramento, which
resurrected his career, to his current nationwide status as icon. Rush has
become a natural at ingratiating himself with the people in power, the people
who have money, the people who run America. Now he's one of them."
(Rush!, paperback page 64)
Now he's one of them! So where does that leave you and I, fellow middleincome American?

Dear Mr. President:
On JFebruary 22^5, 1996 over 300 talk radio professionals will gather in
Washington, D.C. for the R&R Talk Radio Seminar. On behalf of R&R and
the radio industry, I invite you to address this unique event.
This meeting of talk program directors and network executives would provide
an excellent opportunity for you to expand on your often expressed concerns
about talk radio and its present role in our political process. Our attendees are
the people with the power to change how things are done in this increasingly
powerful medium, and I'm sure they would benefit from your input.
The timing of the seminar ~ just days after the Iowa caucuses and New
Hampshire primary ~ also makes it an ideal forum for you to share your views
on the election and the campaign issues of the day.
Our tentative agenda includes several opportunities for you to speak to the full
group, including general sessions on Friday and Saturday mornings, as well as
a Friday luncheon. If these times don't fit with your schedule, we'd be glad to
add a special general session at a time of your choosing.
Thank you for your consideration. I will soon be in touch with your staff to
discuss your possible participation in this event.

Dear Friends
If all goes as planned, I shall report OEOB for my healthcare volunteer assignment July 5 to
August 2. Nancy Hernreich referred me to Laura Quin, who will put me to work doing whatever
volunteers do to support the war room. I am looking forward to doing my bit to advance the
cause of health reform.
Some night, when the wrangling just gets to be too much, screen "1776." This pop culture
movie version of the drafting of the Declaration of Independence has great charm. It may restore
some humor and perspective to the serious business at hand. Jefferson suffered through 400
changes in the Declaration and it still came down to one vote!
Mike and I are in awe of your stamina. Don't let the locals ingratitude get you down.
As ever, our hopes and prayers are with you.
Yours
n

Dear Mr. President:
Thank you ~ for giving me the opportunity to serve
in your administration. I look forward (the Senate willing)
to leading the Federal Labor Relations Authority in
achieving your vision of the Federal government and its
employees working together for change. The potential
here is not only to improve how our government does
business. We also can be a beacon for organized labor
and management in the nonfederal sector as well, by
demonstrating that collaborative relationships work far
better to achieve common interests than the traditional
battleground culture of the past.
Your confidence in nominating me to this position
is an honor, and I look forward to the challenge. It's also
a good way to keep me out of trouble while Eli travels
with you!
With appraeiation/and warm wishes,

MOSCOW, RUSSIA
Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia
This was the first professional meeting of the members of the Citizen Ambassador Program
Law Enforcement and Community Policing Delegation. Our morning meeting dealt with police
training issues and philosophies of the United Kingdom and Russia. It was held at the Academy
of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Our host was Mr. Anatoly I. Alekseev, head of the
academy.
Mr. Alekseev greeted us with a brief report on the status of crime as well as the philosophy
used to train students attending the academy. He discussed to concerns of international crime and
the importance of establishing professional contacts within other countries as an effective way to
deal with it.
He quoted our delegation leader, Sir Peter Imbert, QPM, on the importance of the police
serving society, not some lofty ideal of what society is. The goals and tasks of the People to
People program were praised as an important diplomatic means useful in the post cold war era.
Statistics on the crime rate of Russia were provided. During the 1970s and 1980s the average
annual growth in crime was 7 percent. Before 1970 it was 2.2 percent. By 1989, the rate
increased to 30 percent. This year it is at 2.2 percent and appears to have stabilized. Some of the
increase was attributed to the new CIS and related border concerns.
The ratio of police officers to residents in one-fourth the international average. In 1989, 1.5
million crimes were reported. In 1992, the figure was 3 million. Twenty percent of crimes are
believed to be committed by the unemployed or as a result of ethnic conflicts.
The academy is an advanced institution training in leadership and management. Master's and
Juris Doctorate degrees are obtained. Every year 1,500 students graduate its various courses. The
ratio of instructor to students is one to four—twice the level of area colleges. The academy
stresses current philosophies as well as tactics and procedures.
Sir Peter Imbert discussed police training in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom has
51 separate police services with 130,000 officers. He explained the staffing situation and regional
training areas. Initial training is afive-monthprogram with a two-year probationary period. He
explained the current testing and educational requirements for promotion within the service. The
service now has an accelerated program to attract persons with university degrees. This program
provides basic, intermediate, and senior command training at the National Police Staff College
for selected future leaders.
�Sir Imbert also discussed the changes in policing philosophy to include human awareness
training. This is intended to develop a student's self- and cultural awareness, insight into social
structures, and community relations. Multicultural issues and fair and equal treatment for all are
stressed. Students are taught the problems of racism, sexism, and prejudices and their potential
impact on law enforcement. The general term given for this training is Policing Skills Training.
An attempt to has been made to change from the philosophy of protecting rich from the poor to
one of impartially enforcing the law and working with the community.

�Team One: Criminological Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
In the afternoon, the delegation members separated and Team One visited the Criminological
Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to view forensic laboratories. General Major Igor P.
Karmin greeted the group and acted as host. Those in attendance included 13 division heads and
managers, 19 delegates, and 2 interpreters.
General Major Karmin stated that forensic laboratories are included in the Ministry of Health,
the Ministry of Security, the Ministry of Defense, and are the largest in the Ministry of Forensic
Science. Eighty percent of all forensic examinations are performed by Ministry of Interior
forensic experts. Forensic experts are educated by two special schools, one at Vilgrad and one at
Sarota. Both cities are located on the Volga River. There are also secondary schools for forensic
study. Each year approximately 300 graduate. There are currently 10,000 forensic experts in
Russia.
The system has three levels, starting with forensic experts in small towns, then those at the
district and republic level, and finally the main department of the Criminological Center in
Moscow. The 300 specialists in Moscow perform virtually all examinations and have
responsibilities for providing local services, project expertise, and forensic examinations.
There are eight centers consisting of specialized scientific laboratories developing new
techniques and central files for collection and storage of evidence. Fingerprints are collected on
local, district, and federal levels, but not at the main laboratory. The sections are:
1. Bullets and fired cases from crime scenes
2. Federal files of counterfeit currency
3. Federal file of forged documents
4. Footwear
5. Tire treads
6. Explosives
7. Food chemistry
8. Biological investigations
The main tasks are training specialists at the lowest level and developing new approaches to
forensic examinations such as DNA. The main lab at the center helps local forensic agencies with
specialized analysis requiring high-cost instruments, explosives, and analysis of new drugs. The
work load is increasing 30 percent per year and each expert conducts 160 ballistic examinations,
150 crime scene searches, and 260 investigative procedures annually. The difficulties are lack of
good equipment and lack of funds, although there has been some recent government support.
�There are a total of 83 forensic laboratories in Russia. Fifty-five of them analyze food
products, 52 deal with traffic accidents, 40 deal with arson, and 32 deal with biological analysis.
In 1990 to 1992 there was a total of 1,500,000 crime investigations including 700,000 crime
scene searches, 600,000 collections of evidence, and 500,000 investigations. The conviction rate
is 80 percent without plea bargaining.
Mr. Nicolas H. Vezard made a special presentation on a new crimescope (abstracts of
delegates' presentations are included in the appendix).
The team toured several of the individual laboratory sections including forgery, drug
analysis, and explosives. All labs visited appeared to be good operations, considering the very
crowded, obsolete facilities and equipment. The collection of counterfeit currencies, diplomas,
drivers' licenses, and computerized records system were viewed. Commissioner Richard L.
Burton proposed an exchange of information on Russian counterfeiting of United States money
and invited a Russian criminologist (to be selected) to work in his forensic laboratory for one
year. A very interesting bomb collection was viewed. The delegation noted the remarkable safety
record, considering that the explosion chamber was located inside the building.

�Team Two: All-Russian Association to Locate Missing Persons
At 2:00 p.m. our group met with Colonel Yuri P. Dubyagin, head of the All-Russian
Association to Locate Missing Persons. The meeting took place at the Academy of the Ministry
of Internal Affairs of Russia. The academy is the military training center of Russia.
Colonel Dubyagin began his presentation by informing the group that this association was
organized in 1990. Its purpose is to uncover crimes committed by Mafia groups or other persons
who devise various ways to hide crimes they have committed. The association credits itself with
the capture of a serial killer and the location of some missing children.
Colonel Dubyagin spoke of several methods he has employed in gathering information
and/or evidence for use in solving violent crimes or locating missing persons. He is still looking
for new ways to improve or speed up the investigation process.
At times there appeared to be some conflict between the colonel's approach to criminal
investigation and that of the Russian police. Although the colonel teaches at the academy, there
is no funding for the association by the government, and according to Colonel Dubyagin, the
Russian police do not seek training by the association in methods of tracing Mafia figures or
missing persons.
When this session was completed there were a number of discussions among the members of
the group who attended this meeting. None of us who attended this presentation were satisfied
that a clear and complete picture had been draw as to what was or what is the real relationship
between the association and Russian police. Will it improve? Can it improve? Should there be a
relationship at all? If so, what kind? These questions need to be addressed and answered.

MOSCOW
Municipal Police Administration of Moscow
On arrival for the professional meeting with the Municipal Police (Militia) Administration of
Moscow, the delegates were greeted by Anatoly Prochin, the deputy head of the municipal police
(responsible for personnel). The visit began in the duty room and delegates were shown various
weaponry used by the militia in the course of their duties: AKS, semi-automatics, pistol machine
guns, kalashnikov rifles, and other 9-mm weapons.
The delegates were then introduced to the host, Mr. Victor Volokhov, chief of the Moscow
Militia. Chief Volokhov escorted the group around the rehabilitation department and
psychological services section. This section is used to check the health, both psychological and
physical, of police officers and their families.
Olga Perichkova, a member of the rehabilitation section, explained to the delegates the
methods utilized by the department. These included traditional Chinese therapy, acupuncture,
and many other techniques including the study and examination of the iris of the eye to detect
organic ailments.
The delegation was then addressed by Chief Volokhov on the organization and function of
the militia. The Moscow Militia is presently an experimental division and has only been in
operation for one and a half years. They currently employ around 2,200 staff and their function is
different from that of local police forces in other countries. They work the same territories as
other militia subdivisions, but are specifically responsible for the "most criminally dangerous
areas of the city." The Moscow municipal militia is primarily concerned with crime on the streets
and claims to see significant results after one and a half years of operations. It is therefore
anticipated that the service will expand in the future.
The militia is financed by the Moscow authorities and is an important aspect of the law
enforcement system in Moscow, not least because of the increase in crime in the city. Chief
Volokhov informed the delegation that statistical analysis has shown significant increases in
property crime (burglaries, car theft, etc.) and violent crime (murder, rape) in the city over the
past few years.
Chief Volokhov is a graduate of the Academy of the Ministry of Interior and has served a
total of 20 years in militia services. He is committed to an expansion of militia facilities and is
thus in the process of forming a fast reaction team (similar to S.W.A.T.) and a department called
Relations with Criminal Police, the function of which will be to facilitate information-sharing
with organized crime bureaus.
�The second half of the meeting consisted of an informative talk and practical demonstration
by Mr. Roland W. Ouellette on "Non-lethal Force as it Applies to the Officer on the Street." Mr.
Ouellette informed the delegation that potentially violent or aggressive situations can be avoided
by the ability of an officer to recognize the non-verbal cues or signals given by an assailant that
indicate he is about to attack. Mr. Ouellette then demonstrated a selection of products used in the
implementation of non-lethal force with regard to an officer disarming a suspect. These products
included an aerosol spray containing cayenne pepper which, when sprayed in the face of a
would-be assailant, renders him helpless. Also demonstrated were batons, extending batons, and
plastic handcuffs. In conclusion, Mr. Ouellette explained that he sees this change of emphasis as
essential to the future of policing.

Sub-Division Five of the Municipal Police
Our delegation visited sub-division five of the Municipal Police in central Moscow. There are
four divisions, with seven sub-divisions. We were hosted by Colonel Alexander Arestov, the
commander. Colonel Arestov has two deputies reporting to him, one in charge of criminal
activities (federal) and one in charge of social order (municipal). This reflects what was
described as a complex legal situation of federal and municipal laws. Colonel Arestov briefed the
delegation on the organization and operations of his command, including a description of the
difficulties his service is going through concurrent with the changes in Russian society. There is
a real difficulty in being able to keep abreast of the changing legal situation as democracy
develops. A major problem is the fact that the people do not have a good understanding of the
law. There is a strong desire on the part of the police to learn from and adapt policing to Western
ways.
In discussing the crime rate. Colonel Arestov told us that in the past eight months 1,580
crimes have been reported in his area, which serves a population of 150,000 (this is boosted each
day by over one million visitors and workers traveling to the city area). Of all offenses reported,
49.5 percent are cleared. Like most Western countries, the majority of offenses are propertyrelated, such as burglaries and car thefts. For example, in an eight-month period there were 125
burglaries, 101 stolen cars, and 150 thefts. There were 14 murders in the period, most of which
were domestic related. There were 52 robberies and 40 armed attacks.
Since perestroika the country has witnessed a substantial increase in crime. Economic and
political changes and an increase in the availability offirearmshave all contributed to the
difficult situation currently being faced by Colonel Arestov and his staff of 500. Policing of the
�area is also made difficult by thefrequentneed to divert staff from front line duties to the
policing of political events in downtown Moscow.
In response to a question, Colonel Arestov explained the activities of and the term, "Russian
Mafia." There is no organized national group known as the Russian Mafia; it is in fact a term
used to denote criminals who are organizing themselves to take advantage of the crime
opportunities that are currently emerging in the country. In response to questions. Colonel
Arestov gave details on drug investigations, terrorism, murders, rapes, and other serious crimes.
Three police officers have been killed in his area of command over the past five years.
The delegation also discussed with the colonel the subject of daily sudden death rates in
Moscow. He confirmed that there would be about five deaths per district per day—in total for
Moscow, about 150 each day. Many of these deaths would be for natural causes, such as elderly
people dying through the lack of food or drugs.
After the briefing the delegation visited and had explained to them the local station
operations room. The room was a small installation used primarily to service local patrols. Each
district, sub-district, or local station can have its own small installation. Sitting over the top of all
these small units is the Central Moscow Control (known as Petrovski 38) where all 02
emergency calls are received and dispatched either to patrols controlled by Petrovski 38 or
redirected to districts or sub-districts.

Butyrskaya Prison
Chief Gennady Oreshkin greeted us at Butyrskaya Prison and provided information in his
office. The prison is 220 years old, (built in 1771) and presently houses 6,500 prisoners. The
prison is used for persons in preliminary confinement before trial. There are three prisons of this
kind in Moscow for Moscow and the surrounding district. After sentencing and appeal, prisoners
are transferred to other prisons.
The major criminal activity is violent crimes: armed robbery and drug- and alcohol-related
crimes.
There is major overcrowding—twice as many inmates as the facilities are approved for
(6,500). There are 580 staff. There are 2, 4, 5, 10,40, or 50 per cell or room. Some rooms have
90 or 100 prisoners. Staff generally have two years of experience in the army, then contract for
three years to work in the prison. They receive six weeks of training on the job. Specialists
include 60 doctors working here and 4 psychiatrists for 40 psychiatric patients in the prison.
�Prison suicides are not increasing. One floor in the old chapel building is used for chaplaincy. An
Orthodox priest comes once every two weeks. A chaplain from California is working here as a
volunteer for two years. Prisoners can walk (exercise) one hour a day and play chess and
checkers. Otherwise there is no programming.
Groups in cells are self-regulating. There are many escape attempts. In December 1992, two
persons escaped. On September 3, 1993, a hostage was taken but released. There are individual
cells for antisocial prisoners.
Persons with aggravated or serious crimes serve two-thirds of their sentence. First offenders
must serve half their sentence and can then be released on good behavior. Probation is available
only for juveniles. Male-to-female ratio of prisoners in Russia is 10 percent women, 90 percent
men.

MOSCOW
Moscow Municipal Militia Patrol Units
This morning, six members of the delegation were dropped off at the headquarters of the
Moscow Municipal Militia (MMM). While the rest of the delegation went off for a tour of the
city, these six were to ride along on patrol with units of the MMM. Timing was not the best,
since most of the MMM on duty had participated in an early morning raid and were not yet
available to receive us. Thus, for an hour or so, we gathered first in the lobby, watching new
recruits get outfitted in new Municipal Militia uniforms (while Chief Victor Volokhov chaired a
staff meeting and distributed promotions and awards on Militia Day), then to Chief Volokhov's
office for discussions and photos with him and his assistant, Anatoly Prochin. Some of the group
exchanged uniforms and badges with the militia.
Finally, we were bundled into three cars and driven to an area near McDonald's to meet the
units with whom we would patrol. Mr. Patrick T. Sprecco, Mr. Richard J. Reich, and I [Mr.
Olsen] squeezed into the back seat of a Lada and took off with 12-year veteran Senior Lieutenant
Aleksei and a senior sergeant driver, Sasha. We moved through the crowed streets of Moscow to
the area of the Byelorussia Train Station. Our hosts explained that this district has a population of
250,000 people, and that the MMM has four cars with 12 men on duty here. Their primary
mission is to prevent and intercede in serious crimes, although they can take action in any type of
incident they see. Normally, they said, they would leave traffic activity to the "GAI," or traffic
police. They were equipped with a radio and could respond to radio calls.
Parking our patrol car at the side of the Byelorussia Train Station, Aleksei told us that the
station itself is patrolled by the railroad police. We discovered that our clothes were barely
adequate for the 10-degree weather, while the new uniforms of the MMM (including berets,
badges, and shoulder patches) looked more comfortable, even though the driver was wearing his
"autumn" jacket. We walked across the street to several kiosks that were relatively new to the
area in the last year or two. We checked the permit of one of the kiosks and I was glad for the
brief reprieve from the cold as three of us crowded inside. All was in order and we started to
walk away when Aleksei noticed a black BMW parked between a couple of kiosks and a
sidewalk. We ferreted out the owner, who had unloaded the contents of the trunk and taken it
into the nearby kiosk. Asking for his passport, Aleksei explained to me that the mayor of
Moscow had given a special order to carefully check all citizens of the southern Caucasus region
of the former Soviet Union. The mayor claimed that over 40 percent of Moscow crime is
10
�perpetrated by "these people." Aleksei handed me the passport, and I noted that the man we
checked was from Georgia and had a valid residence permit for Moscow since 1988.
We gladly crammed ourselves back into the patrol car and Sasha put the Lada's heater on
high as we bounced along the streets, thawing out our feet and carrying on an animated
conversation. Aleksei pulled out his Makarov pistol and bemoaned the fact that he had not yet
received anything more powerful. Chief Volokhov had earlier shown us a 9-mm revolver with
two-speed loaders, which he said would replace the Makarov. Chief Volokhov had also shown us
significantly heavier firepower, which was supposed to be available to the MMM. Putting away
the pistol, our conversation turned to gangsters and organized crime. Aleksei talked of Moscow
being "like Chicago in the 1930s" (a description we were to hear once again by the assistant chief
of the criminal police in St. Petersburg a few days later). Aleksei said that groups of criminals,
generally organized around ethnicity (he gave the example of the Chechens), were battling over
"sferi vliyaniya," or spheres of influence. He said there were shootings every day.
As we drove back to our rendezvous point, we gave our two hosts shoulder patches, pins,
caps, and a windbreaker from our respective police departments. Sasha and Aleksei were slightly
embarrassed and explained that they hadn't known they would meet us, so they hadn't brought
any souvenirs for us. They complained that they had hats and such at home, but nothing here.
Sasha then pulled out a pair of hinged handcuffs from his belt and presented them to us with the
key and a lesson in their operation, all while negotiating his way through Moscow traffic.
Aleksei told us that Sasha was soon to be promoted to junior lieutenant and he to captain.
As we parted we wished them success with their difficult mission, and good health for them
and their families. Although the warmth of lunch at the Architect's Club was a welcome relief
from the bitter cold, the warmth of our colleagues won't soon be forgotten.

Moscow City Tour
The delegation's city tour started on Wednesday moming with sunny but frosty weather
(minus eight degrees). We first dropped off several members of our group, including
Commander Donald Olsen, at the Municipal Police Station for their patrol in Moscow (which
started at 11:00 a.m.). Right by the police station was the Moscow Zoo, which has the lowest
(incredible) entrance fee in the city: 1 ruble (0.1 cent!!). Our lovely guide, Tanya, told us she
quite often takes her children to this zoo. We then drove downtown toward our first stop: Red
Square and the Kremlin. On our way to Red Square, we saw the American Embassy (much better
looking than the new one). We also passed by the Revolutionary Museum, Pushkin Square, one
of the three McDonald's of Moscow (where you can get a Big Mac for $1.50), the "Moscow"
11
�bookstore, the statue of Prince Yuri who founded Moscow in 1147, the Bolshoi, and the KGB
building. When we finally arrived at Red Square, we had warm hand-shakes and memorable
photographs with the militia. Several cards and words (in our limited Russian) were
exchanged—another unforgettable moment of this great project!
We also saw and visited several very beautiful cathedrals and then headed for a shop where a
broad selection of dolls, caviars, and other items was offered. The magnificent convent (for nuns)
could be photographed from that spot. Out last stop was the observation platform, where a few
more souvenirs could be purchased and the Moscow State University (huge building) could be
photographed.

ST. PETERSBURG
St. Petersburg Ministry of Interior
In the afternoon the delegation met with representatives of the St. Petersburg Ministry of
Interior at the main administrative building for the St. Petersburg District Police. The host for the
meeting was Leonid Bogdanor, the chief of press services for the ministry. Chief Bogdanor
introduced Boris Buzik, chief of the criminal division of the St. Petersburg police, who was also
to participate in the discussion.
Sir Peter Imbert began the interview with a discussion of the purpose of the delegation and
requested Chief Bogdanor to describe the operations of the department and to outline special
issues that they confront. The chief noted that the St. Petersburg district has one of the largest
police structures in Russia and that it was larger than the Ministries of Interior of some of the
Russian Republic. As the head of public relations it is his responsibility to deal with media,
international groups and all social organizations. The department is organized with a chief of the
Ministry of Interior and two sub-departments, the criminal police and social safety. The criminal
police conduct all operations involving crimes and criminals. The social safety department
controls traffic and patrols the streets. Special social safety units serve as prison security guards
and parole for crime prevention.
At this time, Chief Boris Buzik made a presentation. The Criminal Police Division is
responsible for the major police work and carries the main burden of fighting crime. He
discussed the structure of his department. The main unit deals with crimes against people and
property. A second unit handles economic crime. Special units are concerned with crimes against
foreigners, drug enforcement, environmental research, and undercover police activities.
The situation in Russia today is very complicated because of the restructuring of the
government and the fall of the communist party. Few citizens understand the changes brought by
freedom and democracy, and crime has increased substantially. Also, many government services
were eliminated and this has contributed to the problem. St. Petersburg has the unique problems
associated with foreigners, since it is a major cosmopolitan city. Crimes against property
especially have become a problem because of these events. Economic crimes such as fraud,
extortion, vagrancy, and false bankruptcy claims have exploded. Kidnapping and torture,
especially of children, has increased because of the economic circumstances. Chief Buzik
compared the situation with that of Chicago in the 1930s with criminal gangs responsible for
many of these activities. These problems are all exaggerated because of the increase in the
number and types of firearms in St. Petersburg. The chief indicated that he believes the situation
13
�had now stabilized; even though the police face these problems and others, such as the lack of
funding and space, he was optimistic about the future.
At this point the delegation members asked questions of Chief Buzik. A number of topics and
issues were discussed. In response to a question about the ability of the police to press the central
government to assist them with solutions, he indicated that he and other members of the force
had input into the legislation process, but now there is no legislature and the government is quite
disorganized. He noted that the percentage of new crimes had decreased over the last year. Two
years ago the crime rate had increased 27 percent over the previous year. This year the increase
was 25 percent. In answer to one question he noted that he did not believe that corruption within
the police force is as widespread as the press claims. He also noted to another specific question
that the danger of trafficking in nuclear materials is small. One smuggling case was discovered
last year and involved only a small amount of nuclear material. The chief discussed the effort to
rewrite the criminal code of Russia and noted his input for the study committee. Again, he
expressed frustration over the lack of legislative action.
The starting salary of a policeman is $130.00 and this compounds his most pressing problem,
which is the employment of new personnel and the retention of experienced officers. The chief
noted that the police do not have a bomb squad; however, he is forming one. There are many
bomb threats; the number has dramatically increased each year. Although few of them are
involved with actual bombs, each must be investigated. If a bomb is discovered, the police use
the resources of the army to investigate. Before 1980, police used their guns only 3 times in a 6month period; however, now police use their guns 5 to 10 times a day. Thus because of the
increase in the use of guns, more policemen are killed and injured.
In conclusion, Mr. James J. Carney gave a presentation on his bomb squad and its activities.

ST. PETERSBURG
Team One: Mishev Prison and Labor Camp
Today we visited the St. Petersburg Mishev Prison and Labor Camp; we were greeted by the
director of the camp and had a meeting in his office. We had a sit-down discussion and were
informed about the operations of the prison and labor camp. This prison is for first-time
offenders with sentences from 3 to 10 years. It houses prisoners from St. Petersburg and the
Leningrad region. The prison currently houses 1,642 prisoners; their average age is 30 years. Due
to the lack of work in the country, only 400 prisoners currently have work. The remaining 1,242
prisoners have nothing to do. There are approximately 70 guards within the complex. The guards
are usually taken from criminal justice and law schools. Interior guards are not armed with guns,
just with rubber batons and spray. The guards on the exterior are armed with machine guns.
Confinement within the prison itself is very open. Most prisoners sleep in rooms of about 20 to
40 per room. The prisoners are allowed to move freely throughout the interior of the prison.
Occasionally the prisoners get a 72-hour pass to go home and visit family.
This was a good visit and made me realize that the American prison system is very fortunate.

Team Two: Operating District Division of Ministry of Internal Affairs
This meeting was with Colonel Alexander A. Zibin, chief of the Operating District Division
of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He welcomed the delegation and said he felt the visit would
be beneficial to both sides. He said he had visited the United States and had made friends and
maintained friendships.
Sire Peter Imbert spoke on behalf of the delegation by identifying the Citizen Ambassador
Program and the different occupations of those present. He explained that we were there to help
identify problems and to help find solutions.
The colonel responded by identifying his function as head of the territory. There are 370,000
people living in his district, and his district is the largest in St. Petersburg. He stated that there are
many research and economic facilities in the district. There are also five smaller police precincts,
and lots of crimes. There have been 7,000 felonies this year. Crimes are mostly murder, car and
bicycle thefts, and residential and store burglaries.
The situation in Russia is now very unstable and this is reflected by crimes committed. The
instability, along with radio and newspaper reports, makes his job more difficult. He alluded to
15
�the political situation but did not want to discuss it. He stated that unrest has caused economic
repercussions. There has been a rise in gangs forming and in crimes. There are more economical
crimes and criminals have become more aggressive. Three or four years ago the use of firearms
was not prominent, but now it occurs every week.
Three policemen were killed this year in his district. In his district and the five precincts there
are 1,000 on staff. There are different departments dealing with different parts of the operation.
There is a period of two months from the time of arrest and investigation until the case goes to
court and is sentenced.
When a crime is committed, it is reported to an officer who calls it in and the duty officer
routes the complaint to the correct department. There are 20 departments in St. Petersburg. The
final link in the chain is the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There is a small jail in this district where
an alleged criminal can be kept only for 72 hours. The jail can only hold 70 people. If he obtains
warrant, then he can send them on to the regular jail.
A question-and-answer period was held; the following information was provided:
1. Response to crime observed and reported is five to six minutes.
2. In an emergency situation, there are 10 different standard plans to implement.
3. Chain of command ends with the head of internal affairs of Russia, which is Arkady G.
Kram are v.
4. The police force consists of street patrol (two officers) with radio. There are also cars
quipped with radios and three officers. They all have routes. The officers are also
equipped with shields, vests, and machine guns.
5. The biggest crimes are fraud and extortion. Fraudulent companies contract for services,
receive payment, and don't deliver. This is true even with state-owned enterprises
because of corruption. This has caused distrust between United States businesses and
Soviet enterprises.
6. Gangs play a big role in economic crimes through extortion and kidnapping. Just
recently racketeers were arrested who had kidnapped 15 people and held them for two
weeks.
7. Guns are the primary weapons used in crimes. Only three crimes this year involved use
of bombs.
Although Colonel Zibin stated that there were five murders where guns were used this year
and that nine policeman were successfully attacked for their weapons, he went on to say that he
thinks Russia has a bright future—maybe not tomorrow, but surely in 10 to 15 years. When
asked whether he thinks crime increase is due to newfreedom,Colonel Zibin replied that his
belief is that crime is a part of society, whether that society is socialistic or democratic. However,
16
�he also believes that some of their legislation is not practical. He expressed hope for the creation
of a new constitution with laws needed for the betterment of society and said that he expects this
to happen in the next year or two. He then explained their communication process for processing
emergency calls from citizens calling in complaints of crimes being committed.
The meeting closed with five of the delegates touring the jail facility and the complete
delegation viewing the communication center.

ST. PETERSBURG
Although the temperature was a brisk -10 degrees Celsius, it was a bright sunny day as the
cheerful delegation greeted Igor (the bus driver) and boarded the bus for a cultural tour of St.
Petersburg. We left the Hotel Pulkovskaya at approximately 9:38 a.m.
The tour took us past the World War II Memorial and through the Moscow Gate. Our first
stop was Michael's Castle, including a visit to the gift shop. The policy of the gift shop is that 50
percent of the profits goes to the restoration of the palace. By the look of all the bags of goodies
the delegates bought, the restoration of the palace should be completed by next week.
The next stop was Maple Lane flea market, where rubles, dollars, dolls, hats, and pieces of
merchandise were exchanging hands at the speed of light. We continued on to the Smolny
Convent for a photo opportunity of the old convent, now a concert hall!
Noontime found us at St. Isaac's Cathedral, a grand site. The beauty of the cathedral was
beyond description. It appeared that many of the delegates had depleted their funds, so off to a
hotel we went, to cash traveler's checks. At 1:00 p.m. we had a splendid lunch at the Imperial
Restaurant—a truly lovely restaurant. With our pockets filled with replenished cash, it was off
for yet another round of shopping.
As we were leaving a little gift shop, several of the delegates befriended some small Russian
children. We gave them small gifts, candy, and coins. Several delegates had their pictures taken
with the children. It was such a warm feeling seeing the delightful smiles on the children's faces.
The next stop found us at the Peter and Paul Fortress. Once again, the beauty of the fortress is
beyond words.
Igor safely returned us to the hotel at approximately 5:00 p.m. When the doors of the bus
opened, our happy but tired group departed. It was a joyful sight seeing all the delegates with
bags of goodies and empty pockets.
A news report stated that the Russian economy rose 50 points today, and I know that our
delegation was directly responsible for this.

Accompanying Guests' Report
�Novembers, 1993
MOSCOW
We visited the Novodevichy Convent and Cemetery. The convent is a complex of 15
buildings and 16 gilded domes from the 16th and 17th centuries. It includes the Bell Tower,
Cathedral of the Smolensk Icon, and the Church of Assumption. Peter the Great banished his half
sister, Sophia, and first wife, Evdokia, to the convent and forced them to wear the veil.
Napoleon tried to blow up the convent before he fled the city, but a brave nun pulled out the
fuses. The convent was converted into a museum in 1922.
The cemetery, which is located behind the convent, is filled with many sculptured
gravestones. Chekhov, Gorky, Scriabin, Stalin's first wife, and Nikita Khrushchev are buried
there.
Shopping in the GUM shopping center was fun and many purchases were made, like scarves,
hats, lacquer boxes, etc.
Next stop was a ride on the subway. The ride cost 30 rubles or 3 cents U.S. The subway
stations we visited were Komsomolskaya, Belorusskaya, and Mayakovskaya. The artwork in
these stations were so beautiful—mosaics on high ceilings and stained glass. They are very clean
and safe.
November 9, 1993
MOSCOW
Today Alma, Janet, and Tanya set off with the sun shinning and the temperature a little
cooler than the day before (approximately 16 degrees), to Lenin's Mausoleum, located outside
the Kremlin wall. Lenin's body lies in a glass sarcophagus. Lenin died January 21, 1924. His
brain is preserved and is being researched. Twice a week his body is checked for security
purposes, and once a month for condition. Behind the mausoleum are the graves of other famous
Russians such as Brezhnev, Stalin, Yuri Gagarin and many others.
Later in the moming we toured the Tvetyakou Art Gallery. At the gallery we saw a beautiful
collection of Russian Orthodox icons, and many famous portraits and some examples of modem
art. This gallery was founded by Sergei and Pavel Tretyakov in 1892 in order to preserve all
kinds of Russian art. They donated their entire collection to the city of Moscow.
After lunch Donna joined us. We visited the winter home of Leo Tolstoy. We wore special
wool slippers over our shoes to help protect the floors. We saw many family artifacts like
furniture, clothes, and personal papers. Leo Tolstoy wrote the book War and Peace and many
others.
We ended our day by shopping at the flea market, which is located at the top of the Sparrow
Hills (formerly Lenin Hills). Behind is the University of Moscow and the flea market is next to
�one of the largest ski jumps. The view there was beautiful. And of course we made many more
purchases.
November 11, 1993
ST. PETERSBURG
After an interesting flight from Moscow to St. Petersburg, we three guests toured the Sunmer
Palace (Catherine's Palace) in the town of Pushkin. We saw the magnificent palace and its
original furnishings and decorations. Not only were we impressed by what we see now, but
doubly impressed when the photos illustrating the damage done during World War II are
compared to today's palace.
Our guide for this was Ludmila. The feelings of the group before the visit were not
enthusiastic; however afterwards our spirits were lifted. Ludmila taught us about Russian
Imperial history and Russian perseverance with just this one visit.
November 12, 1993
ST. PETERSBURG
Friday was a busy day. In the moming we visited the Russian Museum. This is generally an
art museum dedicated to Russian art and Russian masters. Just listening to Ludmila talk about
the various artists and their works was enough to break through to even the most non-artistic of
the bunch.
After a beautiful lunch at the St. Petersburg Restaurant, we visited the Alexander Nevsky
Monastery. Unfortunately, the cathedral was closed and only the cemetery could be toured. In the
cemetery of the 18th and 19th centuries we saw graves of many famous Russians such as
Tschaikovsky, Dostoyevsky, and many others. Following that tour, we visited the palace of
Alexander Menchakov.
We were very privileged to visit this museum. It was just recently opened and is the only
thing of its era to be preserved. Once again, Ludmila was invaluable. She helped the museum
guide and other tourists with her vast knowledge.

Thank you for your thoughtful letter and for sending me
copies of your new book. I regret that your previous letters

request to my press office for consideration. I look forward to
reading the book and appreciate your generous offer of

Washington, D.C. 20500-2000
Dear Mrs. Clinton:
It was several months back that you responded to my request for an in person " face to face" interview on
women and children, by saying that you would consider a request. I have been thinking about what I would
like to ask you, and have focused my thoughts now. I wanted to wait until after the election, and I felt that
there was no question that the Clinton-Gore ticket would win, and also until my book 101 Ways To Get Your
Progressive Issues On Talk Radio would be ready to go to print so I could personally give you a copy.
I was very impressed and moved by your speech at the Convention, and I would like to use some of the
themes you discussed. I would like to do an interview focused on your experiences with women and children
both in America and abroad, and how the Clinton adminisuation has helped women and families. Your
experiences in meeting women from around the country and the world would make this a particularly rich
interview. You're work with breast cancer, tobacco, and the administration's family leave act, earned income
tax credit, immunization for children as well as other initiatives that are so important for women. 1 would like
to ask you what you want to focus on during the NEXT four years. It would be great to discuss some of your
experiences during your travel here and in Europe and Asia as well.
In addition, I am enclosing a tape of an additional radio show I host for The Agency For International
Development on the program Operation Days Work in Norway. It is a wonderful program, and I gave the
President the tape and some information on it during my recent interview with him. It would be great to use
the "bully pulpit" of the administration for a program like this. I was extremely impressed by it when we
were in Norway broadcasting. It could be used like a 'Lessons without Boarders" sponsored by AID.
Thank you for considering an interview.
Sincerely,
Ellen Ratner
P.S. It Takes A Village made me think of other Mrs. Clinton books I would like to read. Although I am sure,
you get thousands of ideas from everyone, my two-cents worth is a book that would be a 1990's Profiles In
Courage. It would be wonderful for you to tell the story of women you have met who arc doing amazing
things. Ms. Oseola McCarty, who you met from Mississippi who gave her life savings for scholarships, or
women you have met who are raising children alone and going to school who are involved in church and
community to women who have started organizations or are fighting cancer with courage.

OFFENSIVE and Clinton should not a t t a c k him.

That
compounds the i n s u l t s . . . as Rush makes much of that r e l a t i o n s h i p ,
NOW:
Since Clinton can take no action against Limbaugh .. and
approve of him strongly attacking him.,
I
i s i t possible f o r some

What do you two as lawyers think about t h i s idea.
I have edited a number of Limbaugh's programs and
t a l e d his most
offensive things to date . Many of us do not consider t h i s

Dear Ms. Walters:
Thank you for your letter of April 16, 1994.
I appreciated your comments regarding the noted segments of Rush Limbaugh's
April 16, 1994 radio program. As you aptly observed, political satire, at times, can be
biting and vicious. While Mr. Limbaugh's programming may offend some listeners, it is
nonetheless protected under the First Amendment, the same right that allows a listener
to dissent to such programming without fear of retribution.
Thank you again for your letter and your continued interest in this
Administration.
Sincerely
Marvin Krislov

Dear Congressman Sensenbrenner:
Thank you for your October 13, 1993 letter regarding Mr. Rush Limbaugh.I
regret the inordinate delay in responding to your note.
I hope you understand that we had absolutely no intention of censoring Mr.
Limbaugh or his camera crew. The health care briefing that Mr. Limbaugh's
crew attended was open to radio talk hosts and the White House press pool
only. As a prominent radio talk show host, Mr. Limbaugh received an
invitation to the briefing, and the White House agreed to let him send a
representative in his place.
Unfortunately, the crew consistently ignored the rules that we had set for the
health care briefing. The White House made it clear that the briefing was not
open to individual television stations or shows at all. The crew was told on
several occasions that it would not be permitted to film at the briefing. When
the crew arrived at the briefing with a camera, it was made clear again that
filming was prohibited. The cameras that were allowed to film the briefing
were part of the White House press pool, which is generally allowed to film
public events on behalf of the networks. Only after the crew beganfilmingwas
their camera removed. We regret having to take such a measure, but it was an
appropriate course of action given the crew's unwillingness to abide by the
ground-rules for the briefing.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you for bringing
this matter to my attention.

Mr. George Stephanopoulos
Special Advisor to the President
The White House
Dear Mr. Stephanopoulos,
Recently Mary Murphy, Administrative Assistant to Senator Russ Femgold, spoke with Laura
regarding a favor for the radio show I produce in Madison, Wisconsin. Sly (John Sylvester) is
celebrating his tenth anniversary as a dj. this month and has aired some congratulatory i d. 's
from local dignitaries. As an early supporter of President Clinton, Sly would be especially
honored to have you record a brief message that we could run during his show. In keeping with
the nature of the Sly in the Morning progam, we thought the following statement would he
particularly appropriate:
"This is George Stephanopoulos. The President and I send our best wishes to Sly
and wish him ten more years as the right-wingers' worst nightmare."
This would be a terrific complement to Sly's tenth anniversary month and would be very much
appreciated. However is the most convenient way for you to record tixis is the bestforus. We
would like to be able to air it as soon as possible of course, and any type of audio recording will
work. Our mailing address is: WIBA-FM, Attn: Sly in the Morning, 2651 S. Fish Hatchery Rd,
Madison, WI 53711. If you would prefer to do the message over the phone, the best time to
reach Sly is between 10am and 1 lam EST at 608-277-7236. Thank you in advance for your
participation and if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact Sly at
the above number.
Sincerely,
K. C. Haugh

Inventory for FOIA Request 2011-1067-F
Records related to Rush Limbaugh and Talk Radio
Extent
39 folders, approximately 1,031 pages
Access
Collection is open to all researchers. Access to Clinton Presidential Records is governed by the
Presidential Records Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. Chapter 22, as amended) and the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552, as amended) and therefore records may be restricted in whole or in part in
accordance with legal exemptions.
Copyright
Documents in this collection that were prepared by officials of the United States government as part of
their official duties are in the public domain. Researchers are advised to consult the copyright law of the
United States (17 U.S.C. Chapter 1) which governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of
copyrighted material.
Provenance
Official records of William Jefferson Clinton’s presidency are housed at the Clinton Presidential Library
and administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under the provisions of
the Presidential Records Act (PRA).
Processed by
Staff Archivist, 2013. Previously restricted materials are added as they are released.
Scope and Content
The materials in FOIA 2011-1067-F are a selective body of documents responsive to the topic of the
FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials.
The records responsive to this request include correspondence, memos, and reports. Topics include Rush
Limbaugh, talk radio, the Democratic National Committee, and outreach on talk radio.
Responsive records in the WHORM files include correspondence about talk radio and invitations to be
on talk radio shows. The White House Staff and Office files responsive to this FOIA include press
clippings about talk radio, talk radio strategy, and ideas for the administration to become more active in
talk radio.
Materials responsive to this request and located in the Automated Records Management System consist
of email concerning policy or responses to Rush Limbaugh or Conservative Radio. A majority of these
records are made up of printed emails of an online service titled “Talk Daily.” These emails consist of
abridged transcripts of many talk radio shows including the Rush Limbaugh Show. “Talk Daily” emails
2011-1067-F
Clinton Presidential Library’s web site
http://www.clintonlibrary.gov

�were sent to many White House Staff by Megan Maloney, White House Press Office Director of Radio
Services.
System of Arrangement
Records that are responsive to this FOIA request were found in these collection areas –Clinton
Presidential Records: White House Office Of Records Management (WHORM) Subject Files, Clinton
Presidential Records: White House Staff and Office Files, and Clinton Presidential Records: ARMS
Emails.
The White House Office of Records Management (WHORM) contains a variety of series created
to organize and track documents and correpondence. The WHORM Subject file was compiled
by the White House Office of Records Management and is a series of categories designated by a
letter/number combination.
Staff and Office files were maintained at the folder level by staff members within their individual
offices and document all levels of administration activity.
WHORM files are processed at the document level; whereas, Staff and Office files are processed
at the folder level, that is, individual documents are not selected and removed from a folder for
processing. While this method maintains folder integrity, it frequently results in the incidental
processing of documents that are not wholly responsive to the subject area.
The Automated Records Management System (ARMS) is a database that contains email records of the
Executive Office of the President. This system maintained unclassified Presidential email. The
ARMS database is comprised of six sub-series of email records called "buckets." The
buckets generally represent a specific White House office. The buckets are titled: NPR for National
Performance Review, OPD for Office of Policy Development, POTUS for President of the United
States, WHO for White House Office, CEA for Council of Economic Advisers, and Default for
emails not associated with an office.
The WHO bucket contains email created or received by individual with an Executive Office of the
President White House user account not identified as CEA, NPR, or OPD. ARMS email are arranged by
topic, there-under by bucket, and there-under chronologically by creation date.
FOIA 2011-1067-F includes WHORM records from these subject codes:
