BODY.
Henry Kissinger is not a happy man. The former secretary of state considers
Bill Clinton a foreign policy ''disaster" who must be replaced by ~Republican in
next year's election. But Kissinger is nearly as appalled by what the
Republicans are saying.
Especially Robert J. Dole, the Senate majority leader and front-rWlner for
the Republican presidential nomination. As if the agonizing problems of Bosnia
were not enough, Kissinger told me. "Dole had to get Kosovo settled, too." On
CBS' "Face the Nation" Aug. 20, the senator attacked Serbia's role in the Kosovo
region, which is ethnically dominated by Albanians and could be t.he spark that
sets off a European war.
Dole is solidly in his party•s mainstream. Fellow Republicans' have been
blustering about crises around the world, assailing President Clinton for not
being tough enough. Ho,vever. the Clinton administration is more sensible than
the Republican opposttion only in degree. Now that they are in power. Vietnam
War critics of a generation ago threaten the use of military might where no
vital U.S. interests are at stake.
Kissinger and a few others -- including his close colleague, fcinner Secretary
of State Lawrence Eagleburger -- insist that the nation's interests ruust be
paramount. But many foreign policy specialists, in and out of government, have
not adjusted to the post-Cold War era. They want the world's. last remaining
superpower, lacking an adversary since the Soviet Union's demise, to play
mtemational big mother ·- protecting boundaries and human rights
This is a dangerous game when it comes to the Balkans. After nearly three
years of varying policies and strategies, the Clinton administration has ended
up giving a green light to Croatia's military offensive and attendant

human~rights
abuses. Now, State Department officials privately fear that
Croatian President Franjo Tudjman \viii keep his legions marching.
While the rationale for U.S intervention is to prevent the former Yugoslavia
from incubating World War ill, that catastrophe would actually be threatened by
Serbia becoming Moscow's client and Croatia becoming Washington's.
'
The saving grace of the Croatian military adventure is its opening for a new
U.S.-led diplomatic initiative_ But Clinton's peace plan has been derided by
leading Republicans. Consistent with his steady assault on the Serbs, Dole
argues that Clinton makes too many concessions to Serbia.
Sen. Richard Lugar, considered one of the most prudent GOP voices on foreign
policy (at least until he became a presidential hopeful)~ has given the Clinton
plan mild approbation. Nevertheless, he sticks to his call for 100, 00 NATO
troops in Bosnia> including 30,000 Americans.
What1s more, when Iraq seized two American businessmen who strayed over the·
Kuwaiti frontier March 13, Lugar suggested a military strike four months before
they were released. That is but an extreme manifestation of what American
politicians and policy-makers do when it comes to Saddam Hussein.
. Defense Secretary Willia:m Perry, who is habituated to truth-telling, last
week threw cold water on reports that Iraq planned to attack Kuwait or Saudi ·
Arabia~ simultaneously. however, U.S. troops were dispatched to the region.
Since the CIA now has a very low estimate of Iraqi war-fighting potential,
suspicions are naturally raised that the saber-rattling by Clinton is
political1y motivated. Yet no Republican has voiced criticism.
Instead, Dole, Lugar and other GOP foreign policy spokesmen insisted that
Hillary Rodham Clinton should not attend 11ext month's international women's
conference in Beijing because of Chinese human rights transgressions. That runs
counter to the careful tactics aimed at bringing China into the fraternity of
civilized nations that have been deployed by Republican presidents from Richard
Nixon to George Bush and that Clinton has tried to follow, however erratically.
Ibe problem is that theorists who shaped strategy that wori the Cold War have
been unable to adjust to victory. Professor Albert Wohlstetter acts as though
the United States is at war in the Balkans, VvTiting in The Wall Street Journal
on July 20: "After four years, we must face the fact that we are fighting
Serbia."
·
His protege, former Assistant Defense Secretary Richard Perle, in his usual
aggressive fashion calls for an overt anti-Serbian policy. With the Soviets no
longer around, they have sought new enemies, and Republican politicians have
followed them.

. HEADLINE: 'If I were President': Carter rivals on Soviet threat
B'\'LINE: By Peter c~ Stuart, Staff correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor
DATELINE: Washington
BODY:
. If most Jimmy Carter's rivals for the presidency were in the White House now,
the American response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan probably would lack .
the two most controversial reprisals •• the grain embargo and the threat of an
Olympic boycott. But otherwise it would be pretty much the same.
So suggests a Monitor survey of the nine major Republican and Democratic
presidential candidates.
Each move is supported by only one of these challengers. Rep. John B. ·
Anderson (R) of Illinois approves the cancellation of the sale of the Soviet .
Union of 17 million tons of wheat and com.Sen. Robert Dole (R) of Kansas backs
of boycott of the 1980 summer Olympic Games in Moscow.
None of the rest of the President's sanctions win unqualified cheers from
t.ltose vying for his job, but they do get grudging support -~ or at least no
opposition.
Few concrete policy alternatives are proposed, and most of these tend to be
variations of initiatives the White House already is pursuing.
One explanation offered by several of the candidates: The President's failure
to develop strategies in advance to avert the crisis, or minimize its impact,
now leaves few available policy options.
On Afghanistan, substance contradicts tone. The rhetoric of the candidates
is often bitingly critical of the President's actions, but their specific
proposals are undramatically different from Mr. Carter's.

There is a chorus of calls for tougher action, characterizing the Carter
response in tenns such as "inaction and weakness" (Republican Rep. Philip M.
Crane of Illinois) and "too kind and t~o gentle'' (Republican Jolm B. Connally).
There are complaints that the reprisals are improvised reactions traceable to
no coherent, comprehensive policy. Republican Ronald Reagan, through an aide,
calls the Carter approach "cosmetic."
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D) of Massachusetts says the administration

George Bush.
Arch-conservative Congressman Crane even sees the grain embargo as fattening
Soviet military might:. "Every ruble spent on grain is one less to be spent on

arms.''
The lone supported of the Carter grain embargo, Congressman Anderson, backs
it "reluctantly" after concluding it would effectively lower the quality of the
Russian diet without producing stravation.
Now that the embargo has become American policy, two opponents suggest ways
of cushioning its impact at home and maximizing its unsefulness abroad. Senator
Dole urges trying to sell more grain to the mainland Chinese. Senator Kennedy
proposes diverting generous portions of the embargoed grain to famine relief and
Food for Peace assistance.

Several candidates are content to lament that the United States finds it
necessary to resort to the Olympics as a possible reprisal
"I'm distressed that we even have to talk about the Olympics as a foreign
policy tool," Mr. Anderson is quoted by an aide as saying. That feeling is
shared by Senate Republican leader Howard H. Baker Jr. of Tennessee and by
Governor Brown.

HEADLINE: Senate Joins House in Backing Boycott of Moscow Olymptcs

BODY:
The Senate, voting 88 to 4 joined the House yesterday in urging that the
United StateSboycott lh1s summer's Olympic Games unless they are moved out of
.
Moscow or postponed.
·
·
The Senate action, coming on the heels of a 386·to-12 House vote last week in
favor of a similar resolution, puts Congress solidly behind President Carter.
who has called on U.S. Opympic officials to spurn Moscow as the Games' host city
to protest the Sovient invasion of Afghanistan.
The four d:tssenters were Sens. Rudy Boschwitz (R-Minn.), Mark 0. Hatfield
(R-Ore.), Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) and Paul E. Tosongas (D-Mass.) ..
The Senate resolution went beyound the House version in urging the State
Department to "intensify efforts" to rally other nations behind the U.S.
position and in calling for consideration of permanent sites for the games~
including Greece as the location for the Summer Games.
By dropping any reference to the Feb 20 deadline that Carter had given for
the removal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan. the Senate acknowedged tha.t any
such hope has been virtually abandoned.
In recommending unconditional language, the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee felt that "the decision to boycott the Moscow games should b.e a clear
policy stand, a firm response to the invasion itself and to the fact that the
So....,·iet breach of international law made it unfit to host games whose high aim is
the promotion of international goodwill and peaceful competition," said
Committee Chairman Frank Church (D-Idaho). It would be "improper to tie our
position of principle to a goal we did not realistically hope to obtain," he
added.
Senators also held out little if any hope that the International OJympic
Committee (IOC) would go along with a proposal approved last weekend by the

U.S.Olympic Committee (USOC) that the games be transferred, delayed or canceled.
The IOC has shown no interest in the idea
However, a House subcommittee on transporation and commerce scheduled
hearings today on the possibility of moving the games to an alternative site,
saying it was doing so at the request of the administration.
Subcommittee Chairman James J. Florio (D·N.J.) said options include "offering
the USOC other appropriate sits [for] alternative games in a Free World
nation." A subcommittee aide said the possibility of permanent sites will be
explored.
Supporters of the Senate resolution spanned the idealogical spectrum from
Sen. George McGovern (D-S.D.) to Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.).
The opponents, except for Stevens, who argued at some length on Monday that
any boycou decision should be left to the athletes, said little.In a brief
speech, Boschwitz questioned the effectiveness of such a resolution on Soviet
intentions and said people should travel to Moscow to "see what a closed society
is really like."
Sen. Bill Bradley (D-N.J.), the only former Olympic athlete currently in
Congress, acknowledged the resolution was unlikely to result in removal of the
Games from Moscow and said U.S. abstention from the competition would be a
11
painful" but necessary step. Said Bradley: 11 The imperatives of a Free World
order are more important than the imperativ~s of the playing field."
The House and Senate resolutions are nonbinding and conte~plate no coercive
action, such as passport restrictions, to bar travel to Moscow by athletes or
spectators.· Several senators voiced opposition to any such restrictions, and
Deputy Secretacy of State Warren Christopher said Monday the administration has
"no present intention 11 of imposing travel restrictions.
However, the House and Senate votes, along with the president's position, are
expected to carry considerable weight in influencing USCO action on whether to
participate· in the Games if the IOC refuses to move ·the Games out of Moscow.
The USOC did not grapple with the boycott issue at meeting last weekend.
A House Foreign Affaris Committee staff member said the two resolutions Mil
be left to stand on their own, with the Senate version serving
an updating of
the House provisions. The difference were deemed insufficient to merit an
attempt to rec.oncile them, the aide said.

HEADLINE: Carter Defends Record, Insists He Is Not Campaigning
BYLINE: By WALTER R MEARS, AP Special Correspondent
DATELINE: DES MOINES, Iowa
BODY:
President Carter defended his foreign policy as "peace through strength,"
urged a boycott of the Moscow Olympics, said he needs a second term to deal with
energy and the economy * and insisted he was not campaigning on the eve of the
first presidential contest of 1980.
4
Carter, his Democratic challengers, and the field of candidates for the
Republican presidential nomination wiU be ~ested Monday night in Iowa's
precinct caucuses, neighborhood meetings that represent the first step toward
the selection of nominees for the White House.
· The president, who has not campaigned personally in Iowa, appeared Sunday on
NBC's nationally televised "Meet the Press," and did what candidates do. But he
said it was not a partisan performance.
His rivals for the White House, C·atnpaigning in Iowa and on television,
accused him of disastrously mismanaging the economy, and said administration
foreign policy was so weak and ineffective as to tempt the Soviet Union into
aggressive military adventures.
While the candidates argued policy and issues ·- and tried to set each other
up for a fall on Monday night •• the crucial competition was waged by telephone
and door-to~door canvassers. The only support that counts Monday night is
support from men and women willing to go to a political meeting and spend an
hour or two at it. So rival organizations were at work across the state, each
trying to make sure supporters of its candidate get to the caucuses.

Kennedis 25 percent. A month earlier they had been rated even, at 40-40. But
those numbers represent a sampling of all Democratic voters, not necessarily
people who will be participating in the caucuses.
Carter has sent his family and Vice President Walter F. Mondale to campaign
for him. He said Sunday he was not breaking his own campaign moratorium;
although the interview televised from Washington was nicely timed for political
purposes. Browr:" sued for equal time, but a judge said Carter was on television
most days anyhow, and the Sunday interview would not inordinately affect the
Iowa contest.
"In a time of crisis, I believe it is very important for the president not to
assume in a public way the role of a partisan campaigner in a political
contest," Carter said. He said that has been his policy ever since Iranian
militants seized American hostages in Tehran, a crisis since compounded by the
Soviet intervention in Afghanistan.
On Monday, before the caucuses, Carter is issuing a written report on the
State of -the Union, a prelude to the address he will deliver to Congress
Wednesday night. On Saturday, he ordered govemment purchase of up to two
million tons of com from overloaded grain elevators. His embargo of grain sales
to the Soviet Union has been a talking point for his opponents in Iowa, the
nation's No. 1 corn producer.
His Olympic boycott changed the subject Sunday. The president said he has
told the U.S. Olympic Committee that unless the Russians withdraw from ·
Afghanistan within a month, the games should be moved out of Moscow, postponed
or canceled. "Neither I nor the Americ.an people would support the sending of an
American team to Moscow with Soviet invasion troops in Afghanistan," he said.
-J
r
Kennedy said he would support a boycott. 'But I want to make it very clear
that the grain embargo and the boycott of the Olympics are symbols,'' he said. "I
don't think symbols are a substitute for an effective foreign policy."
As he has in campaign speeches, Kennedy said Carter foreign policy ''has been
lurching from issue to issue" without clear direction.
Kennedy said Sunday the government should boost the rate at which farmers can
borrow against their com from $2.10 to $2.40 a bushel. He said the grain
embargo was "bad foreign policy and bad agricultural policy."
-..L
Republican Bush also endorsed an Olympic boycott. and said the administration
/ ' has been "weak and vacillating" m foreign affairs.
"Every time we look like we're unwilling to do anyhthing, the Soviet steps
forward," he said.

�In Des Moines, Baker also said he would support t.'le president on the
Olympics.

~
\rlacid, N.Y., because of their move into Afghanistan.
The president insisted that his foreign policy is sound. "We've not been
weak, we have been firm and resolved and consistent and clear in our policy
since I've been in the White House," he said.

Excerpts from Statements by President Clinton on
Mlcroenterprtae and Community Development Finance
Mlcroenterprlse and mlcro ..lendlng: Impact on peoples' Uvea
The best route tq the American dream is the.same·roi.Jte people have trod for many, · 1
many years now: through the small businesses. That's why we're expanding the
1
microloan program today. It creates jobs, it relies on the private sector; it rewards drive
·and creativity. [5/93]
This is an innovative approach wh!ch opens the doors of opportunity to Americans who
otherwise would find those doors closed. The [microloan] program enables
community~based lenders to expand their reach and to make very, very small loans to
entrepreneurs who otherwise simply couldn't find a way to make their ideas real. [5/93]
... the potential for creating new jobs in America through this initiative is absolutely
enormous. And they can be created in places where people have long given up on the
free enterprise system simply by making the free enterprise system work for a change.
for those, people. [7/93/a]
Gail Miller from Dumas, Arkansas, started her pottery business, Miller's Mud Mill, eight
years ago, Intent on making the money to send her sons to college and give them their
shot at the American dream .... I want Gail Miller to be able to s~nd her sons to college,
and this [microloan] program will give her the tools, and small business men and
women like her, to do exactly that. [5/93]
·
Welfare reform, self-employment, and self-eufflclency
... many microloans will be made to individuals who are currently on public assistance.
By encouraging entrepreneurial instincts, the [microtoan] program will then gjve them .
the help they need to take the first steps toward economic independence, not
dependence. And in so doing, this could be a very Important part of our overall welfare
reform strategy to move more Americans from welfare to work. [5/931
This [Community Development Banking and Finance] initiative reaffirms my
commitment to helping communities help themselves. By ensuring greater access to
capital and credit, we will tap the entrepreneurial energy of America's poorest
communities and enable individuals and communities to become self-sufficient. {7/93/b]

Denise Cook used to receive welfare benefits through AFDC, but she understands that
we all have a responsibility to work for self-reliance. Denise trained herself as a
paralegal and P.Ut herself through school, working day and night. Eventually, she_
graduated with a B.A. ln criminal justice. She worked for a number of different firms as
a paralegal, but her strong desire for independence and a keen interest in forensic
research drove her into starting her own business. Self-Help Ventures Fund in North ·
Carolina has a peer-lending microenterprise program th.at requires training and
business ownership, including peer counseling, as a prerequisite for the loan. After she
completed the successful training period, Denise received a $500 loan to get her ·
business off the ground. Today she provides investigative legal research to law firms
and other clients. [5/93]
In 1992 I visited an awful lot of places where I thought these same things would work.
I'll never forget the first time we had people up to the Governor's conference room to·
talk· about what it was like when they got their first loan, when they thought their lives
had ended and that they were going to be consigned to public assistanc~ or living off
welfare, but instead were starting businesses and making money, some of them even
able to hire other people. ·It made an impression on me that I will carry with me always.
[9/94]
.Community development finance
VVe have got to find ways to reach into the isolated areas of America to bring the
promise of America. Ultimately, that is what this whole idea of community development
financial institutions are all about [9/94]
... the unemployment rate may be under three percent in some states in our country
and still be very high in some isolated rural areas and inner cities where capital has not
flown, where enterprise has not worked.· But I believe that every American who Is
willing to work hard and learn can succeed in the free enterprise system. I do not
believe that it is necessary to have 20 percent unemployment rate in inner cities and
rural areas to keep this economy from overheating. [9/94)
·
In too many urban and rural communities, there is a lack of capital and credit. Lending
in distressed communities, particularly to small businesses, can be complicated. It may
require special expertise ~nd knowledge of the borrower and the community, credit
products, subsidies, and secondary markets. Community development financial
institutions -- including community development banks like South Shore Bank in
Chicago, community credit unions such as Self-Help .in North Carolina, community
development corporations, microenterprise loan funds, and revolving· loan funds-- have
demonstrated that they can provide capital, credit, and development services in
distressed areas and to targeted populations. [7/93/b]

Long before I ran for President, the founders of Shore eank inJ~hlcago help_ed us to_
launch the Southern Development Bank.Corporation in Arkansas.~ My .wife and I and our
administration, including Bob Nash, ... worked to make an idea that had worked in an
urban community in toe north take roots in rural communities all over the squ~hem part
· of our state. [9/94] .
.
.
Many of you with us today, from Chicago's Shore Bank to North Carolina's Self-Help
Credit Union to Arkansas' Elkhorn Bank y. which Mack McLarty and the First Lady
served on the board of, and which I helped to raise funds for when I was in a previous
position -·understand how economic growth is built from the grassroots. It works in
urban areas. :It works in rural areas. We were wondering when we set up this bank in
Arkansas whether small towns and rural areas really could benefit from the kind of
strategy that had worked so brilliantly for the South Shore Bank in Chicago,· c;~nd the
answer turned out to be a resounding yes. [7/93/a]
Anyone who ever heard me give a talk anywhere probably knows that in almost every
. speech I talked about the South Shore Bank in Chicago, a place that I visited, got to
know, and got to understand. I've long admired the way they steered private ,
·investments into previously underprivileged neighborhoods, to previously
undercapitalized and under!Jtlllzed Americans, proving that a bank can be a remarkable
source of hope and still make money in the free enterprise system. [9/94]
The 1992 Presidential campaign and support for entrepreneurship
These actions today [announcing the Community Development Banking and Finance
Initiative] fulfill a commitment I made during the last campa.ign when I promised, that we
would work hard to unlock the energy and the entrepreneurship that lies latent in the
hearts and souls of men and women in this country in every community. This proposal
will enable them to take a small loan and start a business. to turn their dreams into
storefronts and then expand those storefronts into chains creating jobs for their
neighbors and bringing opportunities to their neighborhoods. It will make them a part of
the movement for democratic capitalism and growth that is reshaping the entire world
but has left too many Americans behind. [7/93/a]
·
The folks [microentrepreneurs] up here on this platform are the kind of people I ran for
President to try to help. And I am deeply moved by what we have seen today. It kind

of reinforces my belief that these programs are on the right course and that we can
make a huge difference, that there are millions of people our here, literally millions, who
could be employed and empowered if we had the systems in place and the people
there who felt comfortable making loans and making these kinds of judgments and
understood what had to be done. [5/93]
Let me say to ail of you that I have dreamed of this day for a long time. The possibility
to sign this act into law [the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory
Improvement Act of 1994] and, more importantly, to unleash the energies of millions of
Americans too long_denied access to the mainstream-economics of our country, was
one of the things that drove me Into the campaign of 1992 .... Thls is a campaign
commitment I am especially glad to be able to keep today because of what It says
about what Americans will be .able to do for themselves and what other Americans in
. -the private sector will do for them and still make money. [9/94)
The Clinton Administration as partner with the private sector ·
This bill [the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994]
is an example of what I hope and believe must be the goal of government in the future.
Nobody seriously believes that government can be society•s savior anymore. But very
few people seriously believe that government can sit on the sideline anymore. In the
world of the 21st century, what government will have to do is to be a more effective
partner and to find ways to clear away barriers so that people can be empowered to live
up to the fullest of their own capacities. [9/94]
,_
The Government's role in this is crucial, but limited. The real solutions must come from
the community, from the people who live there who know their neighbors. It Is our job
to empower those communities with the tools they need to generate growth and jobs,
and then let the hard work and the _determination of the people pay off. [7/93/a]
.
.
This administration is cdmmitted to helping entrepreneurs create profits and jobs, and
the microloan program Is Integral to our strategy to make that happen .... And I thank al_l
of you for being part of a genuine 'American experiment. I wish you well. I ask you to
redouble your efforts. We'll redouble ours, and I know the Congress will make sure that
we get what we need to make these programs succeed. [5/93]
I want to say again, too, especially In view of the people who are here today from the
Congress, I am very proud of the fact that this [Riegle Community Development and
Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994] was an all-American effort, that this had broad.
bipartisan support in the Congress, this had broad support in the country, from
traditional banking Institutions, traditional business institutions, and community
organizers who for years felt that no one noticed the efforts they were making. [9/94]
I hope very much that in the days ahead we can find other ways to bring new ideas into
a spirit of partnership and empowerment with Government. [9/94]

. 1992, with a gin of twenty-one in that tremendousi piece: there.
Going into cairo, we were about fifteen percent biacketed going
into Cairo, and I think going in here we're going tc? be something
in the neighborhood of fifteen to twenty percent braclketed here, so
we're about where Cairo was. · --})..fter the informals~ after all of
thiD is out.
And most of those, · Elizabeth, are. :in the health
section.
And . .I . think most of those is aftez: we agreed are some
te.chnical language for the ~.ntroductory paragraph 'in the health
section. . Sort of called the Seat .Poet of_ chapter Two which e~ys
within the context of countries' religion, cultures!, and pol--C).nd
laws.
You know saying, if you hav.e a law against i abortion, you
have a law against x, y or z, obviously we at. the UN 'isn't going to
·tell you you have to change your law. But .1.t' s on~, that is the
Seat Poet., the introductory paragraph and. then comes all of the
Cairo language and that got the resolution of Cairo. Once we get
that transferr~d . to here that will drop .a big chunk' of the
brackets.
Once it Is understood what that seat . Poet did, does,
there ar.e a lot ofpeople here who weren't in cairo, so they have
· to be broad. up to speed on this, it w.ill take a week for them to
underetand.what this meant, .why :i.t was there, a· lot of other, the
Egyptians, for example, woufd push (unclear) ....,orking very hard in
explaining · this, they want to hold that language.
Once they
understand that intrqductory language, and what it means that will
drop a lot of th~ brackets in the document.

James Hattori with CBS:
How do you expect the presence of the
First. Lady to affect your abllity to lobby for your concerns during
the Conference?
w~rth: Well, I think j.t' s enormously helpful. The Fir:st Lady is
you know extraordinarily committed to these issues, . and to thia
agenda and her coming makes it. very clear the position and the
support of the Clinton Administration and t:.he United States of
America for this document. You know at' a· time when we're all so,
· there ·are all of these attacks on the United Nations that are being
made at the time of political campaign in the u.s. and attacks on
the Clinton Administration in the process at a time of constrained
resources, you know her coming J.s a wonderfully confirming
statement about our commitments and. our leadership and it's going
1
to be very very helpful to us. She will be here, she'll five or
1
six public opportunities to sort of lay it out in va r1ot:.s events
while she's here. And I think that's a real plus; she will have a·
ver.y productive and a very full couple of days here. l

Wlthin the Conference Center, telllng you all wher~· you can scand
and what you can do, is absolutely outside the rulct;J of the United
Nation13. Not to have the. t.t'ansportation from the downtown area out
to the NGO·Forum as promised. does not meet the commitments that the
Chinese had in the documents with the United Nations. The United
Nations is going to have to step into this very vecy firmly. This
is not an issue between the United States and China~ it's an issue
be.tween the United Nations and China.
We want :to make :.his,
Richard, as successful a conference as we possibl~ can.
I came
ovf)r he:r:c · in the late fall, met with th~ Chinese authorities,
wa:lkt'!d them through what wo did in Cairo, what we learned in Rio,
wh<lt we lenrn~d in_ Vienna, and we-thought they were moving along
very, really understood this, and we were working very closely
together, we then had our own sort of falling ou~ with Taiwan~-I
don't have to remind you of all that, things appear to be warming
up on a macro level and I think sort of-the micro level of the
Confere11ce hasn't caught up to the macro level of warming yet, but
we hopt~ that i.t will. But it is imperative that the United Nations
v.ery f:i.rm with the Chinese and tell .them what their obligations .
ar.e. and what the expectntions are c:md are not.
This ).s a major
test to the United Nations.

Jeff Parker, Reuters: Just f.c>:J.:lowing on _~.:o that., it a.ppearc; f.:r:om

governments a:r.e going to be reacting to this, and { think reacting
very very strongly, ao I hope that they get this sorted out. be! fore
we get into this oituation. For example, for all o~ you, the rules
as were esta.blished or the day before is tha.t you wpuld not be abla

something that has never happened before, at least in my
experience.
Melinda, you've been t.hro~1gh a lot. of theso, what
would you add? Anything would you add to that?
.Melinda: Well, I think we have.to recognize that the Chinese have
to understand what :i.s required of <l UN Conference, they haven't
done one before. But the idea of a United Nations Conference is
the free-flow of ideas, and tl+.e free discussion of those ideas.
And that's been particularly a tra~iit.:i.on of .the Women's Conference.
So we certainly want to maintain that and we will be working to
ensure thnt that's what happens.

We were very worried that Boutros-Boutros Gha.li was not

not going to come; he is com'ing·.. ~nyway. ·rhat Is very important. We

going to come and he got sick and his doctors had.said that he was
not going to come; he is coming anyway. That's very important.· We
have to have the UN at the highest levels weighing in very firmly
· with the Chinese. Very firmly with th~ authoriti.es here as to what
the expectations are and a.re not.
And that is, a responsibility
· which he has.
Judy 1Woodruff, CNN:
Can you have a Conference and get your
business done if the Chinese don't relent?

Worth: It's going· to b(! very dtfficult to do th~t, right, they are
going to, I think the Chiriese are going to find if they continu~~
t.his they are going t•o find thernsel vee maki~g th~ Conference C
extremely difficult and they want to be able to show off China and
show tha.t they can pull this sot·t of thing off. · ·we want to have a·
successful conference. So, let's hope over this weekend that all
of these g~itche.s get sorted out.

charlene Fu, Associated Press: Do you have the impression that the ·
is inclined to weigh in strongly as y.ou're saying that they
muat? Because it seems· that at several critical points the UN has
sore of just rolled over on the move to Huairou, 011 the visa issue-26,000 or ?.7,000. women were supposed to have; their hotel
confi:rmntions to come to the NGO, a.s of yecterday only 19,000 came .
. Of course not all of tho£:~e with the iso.ue of visa problems but it
seems to indicate. that a great number were not able to come because
they couldn't get their Chinese visas. · What is your feeling on the ·
UN's poDition on how far they should be. pushing the Chinese?
· ·
UN
Worth: Good question. I think il couple of t.hinga happen, to give
the Chinese the credit. There are many many more people that watn
. to come than were expected. '! mean the numbers of NGOs that wnnted
to come to the NGO For\.lm were m'.lch much greater. And I think that
. they were unprepared for that. ·I think that only toward the end
did everybody realize what a big bottlent~ck this could: create and
to coordinate their system of hot.el .. reservatj.ons cum. visa.:;, you
. know wac something that they were not prepared to do. I think that
Irene Santiago and the United Nations did tho omen work with the
Chinese to get that to. happen. I'm amazed as many people got here
as did .. So 1 the UN really worked.:very hard, worked v~ry well on
.that. I hope that they continue to be firm on tranepo~tat.iou· and
security and eo on; they're just going to have to do i~ to· have a
l:lllcceasful conference. This is crucial time for the UN as well.
This is a coni:Errence ·that' .c rer.eiving an enormous: amount of
inte.!"national attention and the UN at a time when a lot of people
·are calling for various significant UN reform and .tightening up and
clciirer management of their operations, the UN has a leo has to
demonstrate here that they can b~ fj rm and can pull, this off.
I:x:-ene has been great running the NGo Fo:r.um.
The UN is going to
· have to put the res.ources in the support Gertrude Mangella who is
managing tha formal paxt of the conference and they're going to
have to do ).t.:. ve1:y rapidly.

we' 11 get the fourth team which is. essential to get :it to happen.

Fr: ·Lisa
Re: Suggested Media strategy for UN Fourth World Conference on
Women
Dt: August 30, 1995
Throughout your trip, it is important for us to underscore
your longstanding work and advocacy on behalf of women, families
and children. It is important to stress the interconnection
between these issues: If women flourish, families flourish,
economies flourish and therefore communitie·s and societies are
healthy, strong and flourishing.
This will provide the media·
with a context for your trip to Beijing and will also serve as
the uniting theme, tying together your trips to Beijing,
Copenhagen and south .Asia, and your speeches to the UN to all of
the work that you have done here at home domestically on behalf
of· women, families and children not just as First Lady but also
over the past 25 years.
I think to reinforce the notion of bringing your trip to
Beijing home, it is important to schedul~ some listening sessions
following the Atlanta and Santa Fe models upon your return.
These events will serve to visually and ~ubstantively connect
· your trip to the UN Women's Conference to women in the United
states. I would propose doing one or two with working women and
one with young women (college or latehigh school age). The
reason I suggest both working women and younger women is to draw
a ·connection between the two. Investing in and educating girls
and younger women leads to working women' who will contribute to a
healthy and prosperous society.
(
In addition to scheduled events, we should give some thought
to potential media opportunities. I have some thoughts which I
· have outlined below. Maggie, Melanne and I agree that we do not
want to make any commitments at this time and want to ·stay fluid
to see how things go in China. I generally propose some press
opportunities while on the trip~ followed by series of press
opportunities when you return as a way to report back on your
' trip. With.all this in mind, here are some suggested press
opportunities with possible dates with the goal of riding out the
positive press coverage and positive press relations we hope to
gain on this trip:
o 10 minute one-on~one interview with Judy Woodruff of CNN
while in Beijing (Judy ~ill be anchoring from Beijing during the
Women's Conference) •. -- September 6.
·
�'.I
o 30 minute on the record wrap up session with travelling
press corps. We could potentially.chose to do this session in
Mongolia on the terrace of the ·Guest House which Maggie says is
beautiful. We could do the 30 minute wrap up session with the·
cameras and then host an informal cocktail reception with the
press on the terrace. It would be a nice conclusion to the trip.
September 7.
o Dan Rather has requested a one-on-one interview with yo~
upon your return for the·evening news. He has requested to be'
the first prime time television interview. I would suggest pretaping a 10 minute one-on-one interview with Dan Rather on
September 11 to air that evening •. What I like about the Rather
interview as the first interview when you are back is that it
establishes the Women's Conference and women's issues as a ·
serious story. ·This will help to reinforce our message that
women's issues are not "soft" issues. -- September 11.
o suggest a women's listening session event in DC/Baltimore
area on September 11 or 12. · Not only would this serve to
·immediately bring your trip to Beijing home, but it will also
give fresh domestic b-roll footage to tie in with the footage
from Beijing. If we do a women's listening session in a college
town (i.e. Baltimore), you could conduct a college press round
table discussion to talk about your trip and women's issues after
the listening session. If we do women's listening session in a
college town, ~would suggest going to a. community college.
'
o 30 minute live appearance on "Good MorningAmerica" with
women from Atlanta and Santa Fe listening sessions to discuss UN
Fourth World Conference on Women and related issues. The
preference is to have you in the studio in NY with Joan Lunden
and the women from the listening session~ and then have a
sa.tellite interaction with women at Beijing conference (probably
Ela Bhatt and one other) -- September 12 or 13.
o Guest appearance on "Regis & Kathie Lee" from 9 am-10 am
after "Good Morning America" while we are in NY. Regis and Kathie
Lee has a huge women's audience a·nd would be an important target
group for you to hit. -- September 12 or 13.
o On the record press. breakfast with Los Angeles Times. To
be broadcast by C-SPAN. 'Not only is California an important
state for us politically, but the Los Angeles Times understands
international and Pacific Rim politics. In addition, it has a
large audience of opinion makers. -- September 13 or 14.
o 30 minute one-on-one interview with Lanny Jones of People
Magazine. You could do the interview with White House photo
spread of photos·taken during your trip. --Week of September 11
to come out on the stands the week of September 18.
o Host an on the record luncheon at White House for the
editors of women's magazines. -- Week of September 11 or week of
�-----,---------·--
'I
September 18. (I think this is something we should institute on
a regular basis over the next year, perhaps once every three
months.)
o One hour of television satellites into major markets for
their noon television shows, which are usually heavily female.
audiences. -- September 14 or 15.
o One hour of radio interview time with· radio talk shows
heavily geared to women's audiences. -- September 14 or 15.
o Do a background or on the record meeting with the
"economic tong".
(There are a number of tongs, or informal
groups of reporters, that Mike McCurry is trying pull in on a
regular basis to see senior White House officials to give the
press more access.) You could talk about economic issues as they
pertain to women. Mike McCUrry thinks this would be a great
idea. -- Week of September 18
o Education trade press -- Roundtable discussion with
education reporters to talk importance of education of young
women and girls to our economy and our society. -- Week of
September 18.
o-Pitch a "Prime Time Liv~" ..segment which would be done by
Ann Compton that would tell the story of your trip to South Asia
and Beijing and how those two trips relate to what you are doing
here at home'. Suggested air date September 13, the day before
the Beijing conference ends, or a week later on September 20.
'This would probably entail a 20 minute one-on-one interview with ·
Ann Compton.

Re: Women's Conference Speech
1think the speech Is very well written and makes its points very
effedlvely. But I think it Is too internationally oriented and not focused·
enough on the problems of American women.
Let· me suggest the following as an in.-rt for page 4 after the paragraph
"These Issues are also critical to women and their families . • .
PROPOSED INSERT FOR SPEECH ON DOMESTIC
WOMEN'S ISSUES
Women and families throughout the globe are ~ened. and through
them, their children are threatenect.·by forces Which could destroy the
family and the future.
·
First, we are threatened by violence. By alcohol Or drug induced rage
which transforms our d_reams of lives filled with stability and peace into
nightmares of assault, battery, and even death. The violence comes from·
a ether of violence which sunounda and engulfs our husbands, our
children, and ourselves. It flourishes with the
of television and ,
media stones which dally ratify viQience as the right way for people to
behave toward one another.
, · ·
._nctton
In my country and In others. we dO too little to protect women and
children from violence, and too little to help our attackers free themselves
of drug and 'lcohol addictions which too often impell ~ir attacks.
. BeyOnd the physical impact of the battery. Ilea the psychological
model fOr our children and .our children's children that violence at horne is
normal, OK. and right. Hs not. Its just not. Ita Immoral, ~lsive, and
inhuman and we need to stamp it out.
. The second threat we face.ae women 11 abaenae of enough time.
We have acquired much of the wage earner role former1y h8ld by men, but
we have not been able to share any of the homlmaker and child care roles
·-
�.
we have always done ourselves. We are facfng, every day,'the need to be
two people: the wage earner and the child rearer. .
\
In my own country and around the globe we do far too little to help ·
women lead these double lives. Day.care Ia often dangerous and only
rarely enriching. Our jobs are not family frien<fly. The need to nurture gets
no time and short shrift. But· we are not indulging ourselvea in aome
maternal luxury. We are speaking of the care wa oft'er the next generations
of human· beings. Unless society and wort and government and business
make time for us to nurture their children, we will pass with our genes a
heritage of neglect and unfeeling which will stigmatize the fUture in basic,
essential ways.
·
·
The third threat we face is poverty. Jn my 9WJ1 country, mtnlmum wage
worker& - usually women - have to work tor totally Inadequate wages. In
other countries. the situation Is even worse. In· my own country, we are
only beginning to make people pay .child support to care for the children
they nave created. Trhoughaut the world, there is often ev~ leaa support
for the single mother.
· ·
Women tn my own country are still pa~ on~ &bout 213 of what men ·
eam for the exad same jobs and the exact same hours and the exact aame
tasks. This must end In my country and In yours•.
Finally, throughout the world, we are~ by prejudice. In ·my own
country, gender stereotypies plague women every day. Sexual harassment
on the job, a glass ceiling that bars promotion, and entire fields. which are
closed to us.
But· throughout the world, the bias runs e~ deeper. Tragically,
women are most often the ones whose human rtghtl ....... .
keep text as is until final point about rtght to plan their own familieS and
then I suggest It read as follows:
·
"•.....when women are deneid the right to plan their own families. 1have
always been pro choice. But let me make nvery plain and very clear that
the right to choice means no forced abortions lind no forced atet11tzatlons.
'
(I just think that's a more dramatic way of saying It)

we
~uiny?:
we .have sent a strong, representative delegation headed by
U.N. Permanent Representative Madeleine Albright. First

high priority the Administiation accords them .and ·'
reaffirming that women's rights are human rights;·

We are working vigorously to ensure a strong Conference

Neither·the U.S. nor any other countrv or the UN itself ·is

Dear John:
I would like to invite you to participate ~n the
Women's Conference Circle. The Circle will be composed of
citizens who are dedicated to improving the lives of women
and girls at home and around the globe.
Women everywhere have the same aspirations . -- ·for
economic opportunity and personal security, for strong and
thriving families, quality health care and the ability to
participate in the decisions that affect their lives.
Concerned people from villages, cities and communities
around, the world will go to the United Nations Fourth World
Conference on women to voice their hopes and goals for
increasing opportunity for women ~nd their families.
The
value of this conference will be greatly enhanced by local
initiatives in the nations represented at the conference.
Your involvement in your community on these issues is
directly corinected to the discussions to be .held at the
upcoming U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women.
At the conclusion of the U.N. Women's Conference, the
initial activity of the Women's Conference Circle will be
to arrange special briefings forth~ Women's Conference
Circle by U.S. Conference participants. Additionally,
Administration officials will report on the agreements in
the Conference's Platfor.m for Action, discuss its
implementation, and share some of the lessons learned from
the non-governmental participants of the NGO Forum.
The United States is sending only a small .official
delegation to the U.N. Women's Conference. A majority of
the members are ·government experts selected because of
their expertise on issues to be discussed at the
conference. As citizens,. members of local grassroots
organizations, and NGOs, our.real·challenge is to continue
the discussion started at the U.N. Conference and implement
the Platfor.m for Action at home. Because of your interest
in the Conference, I ask that you join the Conference
�Circle and share with its members the work you are doing in
your community to promote the goals of the U.N. Conference.
Please indicate your interest in participating in the
Women's Conference Circle by contacting my Deputy Chief of
Staff, Melanne Verveer, at:
Office of the First Lady
Room 100 OEOB

provide for you, and for all of us who share your
interests, an opportunity to be actively involved in the
important issues that the United Nations Fourth World
Conference on Women will raise.
I invite you to join me
and the Conference Circle members as we work together to
promote progress for women, girls and their families.
