PUBLIC AFFAIRS THEMES FOR THE SUMMIT OF THE AMERICAS
DEMONSTRATION OF AMERICAN LEADERSHIP. The President convened this
first hemispheric Summit in a generation -- and the first ever
hosted in the United States.
The basic Summit themes -- democracy, free markets, job
creation through trade, security through sustainable development
-- illustrate the basic tenets of American foreign policy. We
are implementing them most vigorously and successfully in our own
hemisphere.
There is a convergence of interests and values in the
hemisphere. Our domestic agenda.-- reinventing democratic
government, economic competitiveness, reform of health and
education -- is shared throughout the region. Our international
and domestic agenda converge.
With APEC, a coherent approach to the most dynamic
regions of the world.
CELEBRATION OF HEMISPHERIC COMMUNITY. The Summit will celebrate
and accelerate progress toward democratic stability (no more
coups!) and free, integrated markets.
It will approve a consensus Plan of Action creating an
architecture for the Inter-American System
an institutional
structure to implement the Summit vision.
Possible slogans include: Compact for Sustainable
Democracy; Western Hemisphere Community of Democracies;
Partnership for Prosperity in the Americas.
PROCLAMATION OF WESTERN HEMISPHERIC FREE TRADE AREA (WBFTA). The
President could define a vision with a roadmap for taking the
spirit of NAFTA south -- for expanding free trade throughout the
hemisphere.
SUBSTANTIVE SUBTHEMES.
could be highlighted:
The Summit has
t~ree
issue baskets which
1) Collective Defense of Democracy. The spread of democratic
rule has transformed the hemisphere ... commitment to democracy
the hemisphere's common denominator.
2) Mutual Prosperity through Economic Integration. Free
markets create good jobs -- and strengthen democracy.
3) Sustainable Development. A shared vision of economic
growth which benefits workers and protects the environment.

DRAFTCO~CATIONSPLANFOR
SUMMIT OF THE AMERICAS
Attached is a draft communications plan for the Summit of the Americas, which
will take place December 9-11 in Miami. The Summit will bring together 34
hemispheric heads of state -- all of them democratically elected -- for the first time
in nearly three decades. Substantively, the emphasis will be on trade and
economic issues. The critical question, not really addressed below, is 1YM real the
trade initiative will be (given the problems of GATr and fast-track, the need to vet
a proposal in advance with other nations, and our desire not to replicate Naples).
This memo is based on work done by a team including Janet Abrams, Julia
Moffett, Anne Edwards, and a group at State.
L THEMA11C GOALS FOR THE SUMMIT
The fundamental goal for the summit is to highlight the administration's economic
and international economic vision, and to show the President as a confident
convener of the leaders of the hemisphere. We need to be careful not to over-hype
the substance, but the news vacuum of early December, the colorful pageantry of
the Summit, and possible news-hooks (e.g. trade, Aristide) conspire to make this a
potentially noteworthy event.
The overall emphasis is included in the following excerpts from a draft thematic
document (which is being circulated separately):
Building a PartnershiP for Prosoerity
President Clinton has convened the Summit of the Americas to seize the
opportunities created by the movement toward free societies and open
1
�markets throughout the hemisphere. Because the expanding economi£s of
Latin America are an enormous opportunity for our workers and businesses,
we will urge the natwns of the hemisphere to embrace the goal of creating a
hemispheric free trade zone. The Summit will also unite the governments
of the region in common efforts to strengthen democracy and pursue
sustainable development that meets the needs of our people and our
environment.
This summit comes at a time of remarkable hope and opportunity for the
natwns of the hemisphere -- a historic convergence of interests and values.
In recent years, an ·unstoppable wave of political freedDm has swept the
continent,· now, all but 'one natwn in the hemisphere is governed by an
elected leader. And natwns are reforming their economi£s, promoting free
markets and free trade. The summit will celebrate the progress that has
been made, and will highlight the growing ti£s among our natwns.
Secondary themes
The U.S. economy benefits enormously from the opportunity offered by the
burgeoning Latin American market. NAFTA has shown that expanded trade can
be good for our workers and businesses. By the end of the decade, the
hemisphere's population will approach 800 million, with a total economy of $9
trillion. U.S. exports to Latin America, mostly of manufactured goods, more than
doubled between 1985 and 1993. This export boom has created up to 900,000 new
jobs for U.S. citizens.
The Summit of the Americas highlights the United States' critical
leadership role in world affairs. The nations of the hemisphere look to America ..
and to President Clinton-- for leadership in the post-Cold War era. The summit's
themes are central to the administration's foreign policy. Our emphasis on
economic growth, democracy, and sustainable development are shared throughout
the hemisphere.
The Summit of the Americas is part of President Clinton's strategy for our
·
economy -- creating jobs and growth through exports and trade. Last year
President Clinton fought hard for NAFTA, and we're already seeing positive
economic results from that historic agreement. Through tough negotiations, we've
opened up long-closed Japanese markets to our goods and services. Next month
the President will meet with the leaders of the Pacific Rim to plan for expanded
U.S. trade with that region. Then, only days before the Summit of the Americas,
Congress will vote on the GATT-- a global trade pact championed by the
President which promises to create hundreds of thousands of jobs at home. And at
the Miami Summit, we will work with our partners to create prosperity and free
trade throughout the hemisphere. A~ the twin summits with Asian and Latin
2
�American leaders, we will push for open markets to encourage U.S. exports.
The Summit showcases Miami as a leading American city linking North
America to the rest of the continent. President Clinton chose Miami to host the
summit because this dynamic, diverse city is a vibrant gateway to the nations of
Latin America and the Caribbean. The city has been called "the Capital of the
Americas," and for good reason.
ll. CONTEXT
The Summit of the Americas will be the culmination of a month of activities
revolving around trade and international economics. Events leading up to the
Summit include:
------
the President's Georgetown speech;
the APEC trip;
the NAFTA first anniversary;
the GATT vote (11129 in the House, 12/2 in the Senate);
and perhaps a GATT signing ceremony.
I suggest that we treat this as an overall scheduling/message unit, rather
than as three or more disparate pieces. In other words, it may make sense to
have joint briefings on the overall trade/economic strategy underlying b2th APEC
and the hemispheric summit. However, we should make sure that we do not use
the same claims for both or the same arguments to sell both. (There's a risk of
confusion: "This week, America's future is Asia. No, it's the world trading
system. No, it's a trading bloc with Chile and the rest of the hemisphere ... ")

News: In the speech, President Clinton will set the goal of hemispheric free
trade by a date certain. Because of lack of time to vet the proposal (due to
4
�..
sensitivity of the GATT vote), it is probably advisable to do the proposal as
a unilateral statement by the President rather than as a consensus
document. Possible POTUS interview with a network anchor in Miami.

officials discussing business opportunities) with luncheon speech by
VPOTUS and/or Sec. Brown.
·
News: With the 34leaders in closed session all day, Saturd~y could present
an unfortunate news vacuum. Cuba and/or Haiti could ove:rwhelm the
administration's good feelings/trade focus. Plans for generating material for
the press include:
-- Rotated readout briefings by Secretaries of Statefrreasury or senior staff
-- Satellite briefings/interviews by other administration officials (Kantor,
Brown, etc.)

IV. LOGISTICS
Structure of press operation
A Summit public affairs working group is being organized to produce, task
out, and clear communications materials, schedule and coordinate events,
and ensure the mutual reinforcement of domestic and foreign messages.
Much of the work will be done by the agencies, especially the State
Department, with coordination from the White House. Mitchell S~hwartz
and Anne Edwards will run the press center in Miami at Pier 12. Vicki
Rivas-Vasquez will serve as a White House press secretary for the event.
Foreign press
USIA and State will do the standard things with Worldnet, briefings for
foreign press, etc.
·
Host Committee
The Miami Host Committee's Media Relations Subcommittee will handle
the following:
-- Publish a media newsletter
Issue a reference guide for the press
Secure interpreters and translators
Help staff the International Media Center and assist in credentialling
Coordinate press transportation and hotels and arrange tours of Miami
Set up food court in Media Center
Organize security for Media Center
Plan the press party
V. OUTSTANDING TASKS AND ISSUES/WARNING SIGNS
Where's the beef? -- We are far down the road in terms of emphasizing the
economic issues for the summit. Certainly, the economic focus is ideal. But we
run a risk that the expectations we create related to opening up trade throughout
the hemisphere will not be met with concrete action. We need to have a clear
sense of whether or not there will be an announcement of a trade initiative.

MEMORANDUM FOR SANDY BERGER
BOWMAN CUTTER
FROM:
SUBJECT:
RICHARD E. FEINBE~
SANDRA KRIST~\r
Proposed Speech Linking APEC and Summit of the
Americas
Our policies toward APEC and the Summit of the Americas are
strikingly similar. At the same time, they take into account
regional.differences. We believe that a strong speech would lie
in spelling out these consistencies that mark Administration
policy toward the two most rapidly growing regions of the world,
while pointing out the regional differentiation that
characterizes our nuanced policies.
Similarities in Policy Regarding APEC and SOA ·
.The central similarity is our impending endorsement of free trade
areas in both regions. The domestic policy justification is the
same -- reducing barriers to US exports creates good jobs at
home.
Characterized by Nopen regionalism,N both regional FTAs
will be GATT-consistent and advance global interdependence and
market liberalization.
Both regions are to work on a blueprint
or action agenda for reaching free trade goals modeled
substantially on NAFTA standards. Both agendas will address
functional issues gradually under a building-block approach
(sometimes referred to as modular multilateralism).
There are many other policy overlaps in specific functional
areas.
Both APEC and our Summit agenda include initiatives to:
Invest in people through human resource development;
Spur the growth of small businesses;
Deepen integration by developing infrastructure
projects;
�2
8401
Encourage investment by establishing principles or
codes;
Spur the involvement of U.S. business and the
participation of the private sector in regional
decisionmaking;
Foster the global information highway using the five
principles spelled out by the Vice President;
Facilitate the exchange of technology; and
Advance environmental protection.
This commonality is pot of course coincidental. It reflects the
dynamics of economic development as well as the nature.of
interaction between industrial and developing countries. These
policies meet the needs of developing nations and advance their
integration into the global marketplace.
There is also a clear foreign policy commonality -- the
projection of u.s. leadership within a cooperative, multilateral
context whose !undamental purposes express core U.S .. interests.
These economic policies create partnerships that will also serve
our security interests. Active U.S. participation and
Presidential involvement in both regional partnerships increase
our influence, thwart potential meddling by other powers
(Europe, Asia in Latin America) and maintain regional power
balances (U.S., Japan and China in Asia).
Both regional associations include institutional mechanisms to
assure that decisions taken by the leaders are implemented. The
Summit of the Americas is to create a new follow-up architecture
for Inter-American relations that will include numerous periodic
ministerials, as APEC has done. APEC also will use its
secretariat to assure follow-up, while the Western Hemisphere
will fortify existing regional institutions (OAS, IDB).
In sum, APEC and the SOA are creative U.S. responses to post-Cold
War realities that advance U.S. economic and security interests
-- with little to zero cost to the u.s. taxpayer and long-term
gains to U.S. firms and workers.
Regional Differences
APEC by definition focuses on economic cooperation whereas
relations in the Western Hemisphere traditionally have a strong
political component. The Western Hemisphere boasts democratic
institutions in all but one of its states whereas the Asia
Pacific is much more heterogeneous. Accordingly, at the Summit
�3
•
8401
of the Americas we will emphasize democracy as a core theme
whereas at APEC we more modestly maintain that market
.
.liberalization will promote political opening. Our policies are
crafted to pursue the same goal -- democracy -- utilizing means
that are sensitive to the cultures and histories of each region.
The chartered pace of economic liberalization is more rapid in
the Western Hemisphere, reflecting the greater heterogeneity of
Asia as compared to the generally more open economies of Latin
America. Again, the ultimate goal -- economic integration -- is
the same.
Institutional structures are distinct as well, even as we seek in
both cases to construct mechanisms to assure implementation with
minimum additional bureaucracy.
In both regions, we are crafting nuanced policies which respond
to local circumstances while pursuing at low cost basic U.S.
interests in democracy and prosperity.
Speech Schedule
An APEC/SOA speech could be delivered just prior to APEC, in the
brief period between the two meetings, or immediately after the
SOA prior to Christmas when the media is publishing year-end
reviews. In that the themes are conceptual and draw together
economic and foreign policy, the speech might best to delivered
by Tony Lake or Bob Rubin.
