Re: Saturday Message Strategy Meeting
Attached is the proposed Message schedule that I came up with going thru
April. Based upon the President's schedule I think there are some natural
connections with the rollouts which Kris proposed (plus DC and National
Service). Assuming we can get all the appropriate people to sign off on
such a schedule and prepare for such rollouts I got believe giving the
agencies such a schedule would be appreciated and enable them to have the
time to brainstorm and come up with good ideas of how they can bring
attention to these themes.
Taking advantage of the Monday Amplification Call and the Chiefs of Staff
Breakfast Tuesday we could lay this out for them and I think in turn we
could develop really well conceived rollouts amplifying the President's
positions on these issues. In addition, in some cases successfully
pre-amplify the President so that when he does his events as much focus as
possible is on him as he demonstrates how he is involved and moving us
forward on these important issues.
Let me know what you think.==================== ATTACHMENT

Re: Saturday Message Strategy Meeting
Attached is the proposed Message schedule that I came up with going thru
April. Based upon the President's schedule I think there are some natural
connections with the rollouts which Kris proposed (plus DC and National
Service). Assuming we can get all the appropriate people to sign off on
such a schedule and prepare for such rollouts I got believe giving the
agencies such a schedule would be appreciated and enable them to have the
time to brainstorm and come up with good ideas of how they can bring
attention to these themes.
Taking advantage of the Monday Amplification Call and the Chiefs of Staff
Breakfast Tuesday we could lay this out for them and I think in turn we
could develop really well conceived rollouts amplifying the President's
positions' on these issues. In addition, in some cases successfully
pre-amplify the President so that when he does his events as much focus as
possible is on him as he demonstrates how he is involved and moving us
forward on these important issues.
Let me know what you think.==================== ATTACHMENT

North Carolina - There will be an education clutch and then the speech to
the N.C. State Legislature.
If communications wants a visual of the DOD
announcement hopefully it can just be a meet and greet at the airport with
some students and military folks from a DOD school nearby.
The advance
team is looking at the possibility of dropping by a DOD school, but per
Mike, they're not in very good condition.
It would be a lot easier to
just do a photo at the airport.
Florida -- Still no decision on whether the message event will be on
school construction.or medicare fraud.
Don will hold meetings on Monday
to reach a decision.

Bruce and Elena:
I attended a meeting with the National Organizations Responding to AIDS
(NORA and John Podesta yesterday.
Following is a brief summary:
Participants:
John Podesta
Maria Echaveste
Toby Donednfeld
Richard Socarides
Marsha Scott
Nancy-Ann Min
Richard Sorian,
DHHS
Outside Participants:
David Harvey, AIDS 'Policy Center, NORA Co-Chair
Miguelina Maldonado, National Minority Action' Council, NORA cO-cHAIR
Christine Lubinski, AIDS Action Council
Jane Silver, American Foundation for AIDS Research
Rose Gonzalez, American Nurses' Association
Val Bias, National Hemophilia Foundation
B.J. Harris, National Alliance of State AIDS Directors
Winnie Stackelberg, Human Rights Campaign
NORA members began the meeting by thanking the Administration and the
President for their leadership on AIDS issues in the first term, citing
funding increases, Presidential leadership , and unprecedented access to
the White House and Federal Agencies. They then presented us with a
rundown of the current t state of the epidemic and a series of public
opinion polls showing support for further action in the areas of AIDS
treatment, Vaccine development,
Needle Exchange Programs (NEP) , and
Pediatric drug development.
Specific Points of Interest:
*
They strongly encouraged the Administration to lift the ban on
use of Federal funds for
needle exchange programs.
NASTAD
mentioned that there are NEPs in 28 states.
Podesta asked about
�.ARMS Email System
Page 2 of2
r,
the National Governors' Association position on NEPs. While
NGA does not
have a position on NEPs the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National
Conference of Black States Legislators are on record in support of
NEPs (as well as
the AMA, GAO, 10M Committee, American Nurses
Association) .
*
While pleased that the President has requested increased funding
for AIDS programs,
they believe there is a much greater need.
In
particular, they mentioned the AIDS Drug
Assistance Programs
(ADAP) in title II of the Ryan White CARE Act (RWCA).
*
NORA would like to see the subject of HIV/AIDS addressed in the
public service
announcements being developed by ONDCP and NIDA (HHS).
*
Pregnant women and children have impaired access to protease
inhibitors and many
other drugs because they are not approved for
use in those groups, nor have there
been dosing studies done on pediatric populations.
*
They are concerned about the office of National AIDS Policy not
having the staffing
support needed to play a strong role in
orchestrating a national effort to fight the
epidemic on
all fronts.
They also felt the coordinating ability across Agencies in
HHS
was not supported in the AIDS office at HHS.
*
They are unhappy with eh proposed Medicaid per capita cap.
*
They continue to support the Adm support of the Office of AIDS
Research at NIH
*
They want more AIDS expertise in the Domestic Policy Council,
the Office of Legislative
Affairs and other parts of the White
House.

offenses (felonies and misdemeanors) cornmitted on or after 3 years from the date of
enactment of the Act.
4.3.2. Congress will amend the D.C. Code so that good time calculations for all persons
convicted of D.C. offenses (felonies and misdemeanors) committed on or after 3 years
from the date of enactment of the Act will be made according to the Federal
requirements.
4.3.3. Congress will establish a new D.C. Board of Criminal Sentences (the Board) as an
independent body within the D.C. government. All persons convicted of D.C. felonies
committed on or after 3 years from the date of enactment of the Act will be sentenced
according to a determinate sentencing system promulgated by the Board no later than 18
months after the date of enactment of the Act.
4.3.4. The Board will develop such amendments or repeals of provisions in the D.C. Code
relating to the maximum and minimum prison terms as are necessary to accomplish the
purposes of the Act. Ninety days after they are promulgated by the Board, the sentencing
system, amendments and repeals will become effective unless disapproved as a whole by
a majority of the District of Columbia Council. If disapproved by the Council, the
system may be enacted by Congressional action.
4.3.5. The promulgated sentencing system will supersede any inconsistent provision of the D.C.
Code and will provide for post-release supervision of offenders.
4.3.6. Congress will repeal certain other provisions of the D.C. Code to conform with the new
sentencing system (D.C. Code Title 24, Chapters 2 and 8], including the Youth
Rehabilitation Act.
4.3.7. The sentencing system developed will ensure the effective continuation of the D.C.
Superior Court Drug Intervention Program by including appropriate minimum mandatory
sentences and adequate related judicial discretion.
4.3.8. Congress will amend the D.C. Code Title 33, section 541 to adopt certain mandatory
penalties necessary for effective local law enforcement.
4.3.9. The Board will not have the authority to provide for capital punishment under any law
applicable exclusively in the District of Columbia.
4.3.10. The Board will have seven voting members. TheAttomey General (or her designee) will
chair the Board. The other members will include two judges of the D.C. Superior Court
and one representative each for the D.C. Council, the Executive Branch of the D.C.
government, the D.C. Public Defender Service, and the U.S. Attorney for the District of
Columbia. A representative of the Bureau of Prisons will serve as a non-voting, ex
officio member.
16
�Automated Records Management System
Hex-Dump Conversion
.
4.3.11. An affinnative vote of at least six Board members will be necessary to adopt guidelines,
promulgate the sentencing system, and make any amendments or repeals of D.C. Code
provisions relating to maximum and minimum prison tenns.
4.3.12. In developing the sentencing system, the Board will hold three or more public hearings,
review appropriate State system models, consult with sentencing refonn experts, and
solicit written comments from the public.
4.3.13. If the Board fails to promulgate a sentencing system within 18 months, the Board will
tenninate and the Attorney General will develop the system and transmit it to the Council
for approval. The system will take effect unless the D.C. Council disapproves the system
and Congress, in tum, does not approve it.
4.3.14. The Board will have the mandate to ensure that the sentencing system it establishes,
among other things:
4.3.14.1. Will result in sentences for those convicted offelony offenses similar to those that
would be imposed upon comparable offenders convicted of comparable offenses
in the Federal system;
4.3 .14.2. Will result in sentences that reflect the seriousness of the offense and provide for
just punishment, afford adequate deterrence to potential future criminal conduct of
the offender and others, and provide the defendant with needed educational or
vocational training, medical care, and other correctional treatment;
4.3.14.3. Will provide certainty and fairness in meeting the purposes of sentencing,
avoiding unwarranted sentencing disparities among similar defendants, while
maintaining sufficient flexibility to pennit individualized sentences;
4.3.14.4. Will take into account the high volume of sentencing proceedings in the District
of Columbia Superior Court as bearing upon the degree of complexity of the
sentencing system; and
4.3.14.5. Will ensure that the system is neutral as to the race, sex, marital status, ethnic
origin, religious affiliation, national origin, creed, socioeconomic status, and
sexual orientation of offenders, if not related to the commission of the offense.
4.3.15. As part of the sentencing system, the Board will develop binding guidelines for use in
detennining the sentence to be imposed upon convicted felons. The guidelines will
specify:
4.3.15.1. When to impose a sentence to probation, a fine, or a tenn of imprisonment and the
appropriate amount or length, as well as intennediate sanctions;
17
�Automated Records Management System
Hex-Dump Conversion
4.3.15.2. When to impose a tenn of supervised release following imprisonment, and the
appropriate length; and
4.3.15.3. Whether multiple sentences to tenns of imprisonment should run concurrently or

There will be a successor Federal agency in the judicial branch to amend the guidelines
consistent with the purposed of the Act. The D.C. Council may recommend to Congress
whether or not these amendments should be approved. The amendments will take effect
as prescribed by the successor agency, however, unless they are modified or disapproved
by Congress. The successor agency will have no powers to revise the District of
Columbia Code but will recommend changes to the Code as may be necessary to further
the purposes of the Act.
4.3.17. The D.C. Superior Court, D.C. Department of Corrections, and other agencies as
necessary will submit infonnation about convicted felons as required by the Board and
the U.S. Department of Justice. This would pennit an assessment of the extent to which
sentences imposed by the D.C. Superior Court are comparable to those imposed for
comparable offenders by U.S. District Courts. The results of this assessment would be
used by the Board in developing the new sentencing system for the District of Columbia.
4.3.18. Four years after the new sentencing system takes effect, there will be an evaluation to
detennine the extent to which the sentencing system has succeeded in accomplishing the
goals set forth in the Act.

operation of NHS highways including the following activities: routine maintenance of
roadways and rights-of-way, and road repair, snow removal, repair, lighting, signage, and
those utilities necessary for NHS operations.

located within the District of Columbia.
6.2.2. The District of Columbia will continue to be responsible for all utilities and utility work

of other Federal-aid highway apportioned funds by the District of Columbia other than as
proyided below also requires a non-Federal matching share.
6.2.4. Beginning on October 1, 1997, the District of Columbia is relieved of the responsibility to
provide the non-Federal match for NHS projects that are funded by the NCIC with
monies made available for NHS projects under Title _ _. The relief from providing

not object within 60 days after notification, the IRS will administer the provision within a
reasonable time after enactment.
7.3.
Transfers to the District

TEXT:
Here is what I have found out about the Defense schools in relation to
North Carolina:
1. In general, the overseas and stateside schools are good, and they are
doing things world-wide (though not necessarily in NC, that could be
pointed to as models. Chief among these are: (1) technology--getting all
schools wired by 1998; (2) translating national math standards into
classroom curriculum; (3) school report cards and accountability.
They
are also beginning to talk about providing incentives for teachers to
undergo National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification,
though this effort will look weak in comparison to Gov. Hunt's proposal in
NC.
2. The Defense schools, especially stateside, are basically invisible
according to the Defense people.
They operate below the radar screen,
have tremendous difficult getting any attention, and feel that most of
America, including almost all of the education community, doesn't even
know they exist.
3. There are several potential downsides to a defense schools announcement
from their point of view:
The school at camp Legune (sp???) is in a terrible state of disrepair,
especially with leaking roofs. There is a plan to fix it, but, in the
meantime, their comment was "I wouldn't want the President to visit while
it was raining without an umbrella."
Not exactly a strong endorsement
for the notion that these are model schools.
The Defense Department is working on a congressionally mandated study of
the desirability of turning stateside defense schools over to local school
systems, and getting Defense out of that business.
The report is at least
6 months late, and will not be competed until June at the earliest. The
head of the defense schools did not know the original impetus for this
study, and no one from the hill has been bugging them for the report.
The
Department apparantly has not yet taken a position on this, though mil
itary families and leadership believe that the defense schools are
generally superior to neighboring schools and will want to keep the
current situation. So will neighboring local school boards, who will not
want to get more students and no additional tax base.
April is the "Month of the Military Child" and would provide an additional
�ARMS Email System
Page 2 of6
opportunity for this message if we did not make an announcement in North
Carolina.
Marsha Hale was to call Hunt's staff; as of late afternoon she had not
done so, and I do not yet know if Hunt is on board with our testing
proposal, or what he might think of this announcement overall. As we have
discussed, it would be awkward to announce Defense participation if we
don't get North Carolina's.
Finally, I've attached a couple of pages of suggestions from ED about how
we might approach the teaching portion of this speech, since Hunt's main
education proposals before the legislature center on improving teaching.
The centerpiece of Hunt's plan is a call for a 13% salary increase for
master teachers -- teachers who receive National Board for Professional
Teaching Standards certification -- as a concrete way to reward excellent
teachers. The President could challenge every state to take similar steps.

High Standards for Teachers
The President's speech to the North Carolina legislature provides an ideal opportunity to outline his
vision and plan for rewarding good teachers, getting incompetent or burnt-out teachers out of the
classroom, and for getting talented and dedicated teachers into every classroom in America. The
major announcement would be calling on state legislatures around the country to enact major pay
incentives for master teachers who become certified by the National Board (such as the 12% bonus
Governor Hunt has proposed to the North Carolina legislature), and explaining how the President's
budget will help set this new national standard of excellence in teaching -- a standard which has
already gained wide, bipartisan acceptance.
But the President can also use this announcement to stipulate that our students will not reach national
standards without outstanding teachers, and to layout -- in greater depth than he has so far -- his
vision for raising teacher quality. The President can issue an appeal to honor and reward good
teachers while refusing to tolerate failing teachers, challenge talented young people and other
mid-career professionals to enter into teaching and give them the highest-quality preparation, and
speak directly to parents and grandparents, asking them not to discourage their young family members
from going into what will be the noblest and most important career of the information age. With 2
million teachers to be hired in the next ten years, the President can challenge the nation to
immediately establish policies and an ethic for the teaching profession that will affect the quality of
our children's education for decades.
For three reasons, the address to the North Carolina legislature will be an ideal opportunity for
the President to focus on teacher quality. First, Governor Hunt has been spearheading a state and
national effort to focus on raising teacher quality, providing a sensible context for the President to
applaud Hunt's work in North Carolina, cite Hunt's proposal to provide a 12% bonus (serious $) to
national board-certified "master teachers" as the basis for a national challenge, and describe the
President's vision in context of a hard-hitting report on teaching released last fall by a bipartisan
commission co-chaired by Hunt. Last week's announcement that North Carolina had the nation's
largest increase in math scores can underscore the effectiveness of focusing on good teaching.
Second, a presidential focus on high standards for teaching is a natural immediate next step after
addresses on challenging standards and tests for students. The public intuitively understands that the
key to raising standards is good teachers, and the President can use this address to help show how to
address this challenge. Timing is also ideal, coming the day after a North Carolina meeting on
teaching that can foreshadow and generate interest in the President's speech. That meeting will be
televised to educators around the state, and will include Governor Hunt, teachers, university leaders,
and -- by satellite, at 4pm the day before the President's address -- Secretary Riley.
Third, the national board teaching standards -- championed by Hunt -- provide the best possible
concrete illustration of how the President and his budget will help make high standards for teachers
real. The President's budget contains $100 million over 5 years to help the national board complete
its assessments in all major academic areas, and to provide seed money to help teachers undergo the
board's intensive review. The board already has bipartisan endorsements from such leaders as Hunt
and Voinavich, and unusual support from education groups who have traditionally opposed efforts to
distinguish among teachers at different levels of quality.
Components of announcements/ major policy address on teaching standards:
�Automated Records Management System
Hex-Dump Conversion
Call on state legislatures around the country to enact major pay incentives for master teachers
who become certified by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (such as the
12% bonus Governor Hunt has proposed to the North Carolina legislature).
Explain how the President's $100 million budget will help set this new national standard of
excellence in teaching -- i.e., support for completion of teacher assessments in all academic
areas and seed capital for master teachers to undergo an intensive board review, leading to a
master teacher for every school in the nation within 10 years. Call on Congress to enact this
budget.
Invite "our nation's best teachers" -- the 50 state teachers-of-the-year and others -- to the
White House South Lawn for a celebration of good teaching and announcement of the new
national teacher-of-the-year during the week of April 15th (The scheduling office confirmed
today that this event will take place, but it has not yet been made public). Call for a national
day of recognition that day for America's best teachers.
Announce details of a national forum on recruiting and preparing teachers to take place the
day after the White House event. This forum will provide an opportunity for 50
teachers-of-the-year to discuss with higher education leaders how to do a better job at
recruiting and preparing the highest quality teachers. Also announce opportunity for
communities around the country to participate in the event by satellite, and to organize local
discussions with their best teachers and university leaders about how to recruit and prepare
outstanding teachers. (USA Today and other papers gave considerable coverage to the
Secretary's announcement of this forum last month, but no details have yet been made
public.)
Challenge talented young people and mid-career professionals to go into teaching. Speak
directly to parents and grandparents, asking them not to discourage young people from
entering teaching.
Announce national forum that would take place later in the year on rewarding good teachers
and weeding out those teachers who are incompetent or burnt-out.
Issue broad new challenge such as calling on states and communities to raise teacher salaries
generally, or to offer tax incentives for young people who teach in high-need areas.
Alternatively, challenge school districts and teacher unions to examine their contracts and fmd
new ways to reward good teachers and weed out incompetent or burnt-out teachers quickly,
fairly, and less expensively.
