Historical Sites Bill Signing Ceremony .1

Coretta Scott King, Daddy King, and members of the King

family, Secretary Andrus, Representative C.J. McLin [Ohio],

'---

Byron Rushing [President of the Museum of Afro-American History

in Boston] , ladies and gentlemen:

The two bills I am signing today represent a three-pronged ---

effort to preserve a vital but long-neglected part of our -

American heritage -- the history and culture of Americans of

African ancestry and their role in the history of our nation.

�irst, I will sign a bill establishing the Martin Luther

King Jr. National Historic Site and Preservation District in

---

Atlanta to preserve the area where Dr. King lived, worked and

worshipped and where he"is buried, as a living mem�rial to -

--

the Civil Rights Movement which he came to symbolize.

- 2 -

The second bill establishes the Boston African Ame�an

National Historical Site, including the African American

'------

Meeting House, which was a center of the 19th century free

African American community on Beacon Hill. That bill also

provides for the establishment of a National Center for the

Study of Afro-American History and Culture, with headquarters

in Wilberforce, Ohio.

Wilberforce University was founded in 1856 for the education

of runaway slaves and free black �ople, and has a proud history

service and distinguished faculty and �lumni. It was named for . ---

British abolitionist William Wilberforce, who secured passage

of the act ending the British ·slave trade and worked for the

worldwide abolition of slavery.

These two historic sites will preserve for all Americans ---- -----------

some of the physical surroundings of two important periods in

the history of black Americans.

From the early days of our country, free black Americans

the conscience of our nation to the e�il of slavery that ate

at the heart of our most fundamental principles. The contributions

of black Americans in all fields of human endeavor were largely

forgotten or overlooked until recent years, to the detriment -----

-- ·

of all Americans.

In this century the writings, speeches and direct action

of black Americans, culminating in the Civil Rights Movement,

again aroused the conscience of all Americans to the evils of ---

lingering discrimination that continued to deny black people

freedom, justice and opportunity. - ------ -------

The creation of a National Center for the Study of -

Afro-American History and Culture will give new impetus to ....---

to the efforts of many scholars and organization� to extend

our knowledge and understan� ing of the black experi�nce in -----------

America, and to make this heritage known to all Americans.

�

- 4 -

We must put the pain and prej udice of the past behind us,

but in so doing, we must not deny ourselves the valuable --

lessons it can teach us, or let the truth be lost to future

generations. If the truth is to set us free, we must study -

-

and understand our own past and how it affects the present -----

and future. It is for this purpose that this national center

is to be established.

I hope the preservation of these sites and the creation

of this center will provide all Americans with new �ources of -- _______.

knowledge and inspiration at the same time they give black c..---- c:....-- ..---

Americans new insights into their own roots.

Preserving some of the sites that were a part of these --

two great historic movements will help present and future

generations appreciate not only the events of the past, but

the principles and dreams that gave those movements power - -

-

and allowed them to overcome great obstacles.

The historic preservation district in Atlanta will include

the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Social Change, which )�

'/_ ;· .. t. is dedicated to continuing the non-v:lolent struggle for justice

and equal opportunity in this country and for human rights

throughout the world. ,__..

It houses historic tapes and photographs that contain

much of the record of the tragedy and triumph of the Civil -

Rights Movement, but it also speaks to what Dr. King called

"the fierce urgency of now." He longed for the day when all --

people would be judged "not by the color of their skin, but -

--

by the content of their character." The character of future

generations will be shaped by their understanding of the past � -

and their ability to build on it a world where all people will � --:2 -

Introduction

Rackleff

10/9/80

Governor Bob Graham, Speaker Ralph Haben:

It's Good to be back in Florida with my fellow

Democrats --[!_specially now that your Primary runoffs

are over. You can all be friendlier with each other

no0

Florida Democrats are never far from my thoughts.

In 1976, you gave me my first big-state primary

victory. You gave me your electoral votes that fall.

You carne through once again this year in the Presidential

primaries.

Democrats have a habit of winning in Florida --

and I think we owe it to tradition to win again on

November 4.

Florida Democrats also have a habit of producing

outstanding public officials -- including some of the

most key officials in my Administrat�2:_ When I looked for a Trade Ambassador to negotiate

our all-important trade matters, I looked to Florida

and picked Reubin Askew, your distinguished Governor

for eight years.

- 2 -

When I looked for someone to be Deputy Secretary

of Agriculture, the #2 post, I picked your distinguished

former Lieutenant Governor, Jim Williams.

When I looked for someone to fill a vacancy on the

Federal Reserve Board, I picked Fred Schulz.

When I looked for someone to chair the Federal

Horne Loan Bank Board, so important to our housing

industry and to thrift institutions, I picked another

Floridian, Jay Jan�;s

These are some of the most important positions in

our country and can make a tremendous difference in how

our economy performs and how people live. I've been

proud to serve with Florida Democrats, and I know that

you are proud of them too.

Florida Accomplishments

We can also be proud of how we have all served

the people of Florida.

When I ran for office in 1976, the people of

Florida were afraid of the future� The recession

had demoralized the people of this State as growth

carne to a halt. Unemployment in Florida when I took

office was 9.4 percent;

did not have a job.

one out of 10 workers

·ru - 3 -

( -� · In �rcent

September,, that unemployment rate was 6.1

-- down 35 percent.

In that time, Florida gained over half a million

new jobs, a 17 percent increase. In fact, one out of

eight jobs in this state today was created during our

Administration.

We have some other accomplishments, as well.

We have improved Social Security -- even as we

cut the growth of Federal spending. We acted to

protect the elderly from inflation by raising benefits

by 14.3 percent this summer. At the same time, we

sustained the vital Medicare program and nutrition

programs for the elde��

Under the leadership of Claude Pepper, Congress

has just passed Medicare amendments which expand home

health care and allow the elderly to join health

maintenance organizations.

Just this week, I signed into law housing legislation

that will protect the elderly from condominium conversion

and exploitative recreation leases.

Tomorrow morning, I will be signing legislation

that addresses another serious problem in Florida --

the sudden and massive influx of Cubans fleeing the

Castro regime.

- 4 -

I want to commend you all for the effective

response of State and local government to meet this

emergency. And I could not find a better place to

sign this act tomorrow than the Florida Capitol building.

This bill will mean that $100 million will be immediately

available to the communities of Florida and other states

to help reimburse them for expenses.

Property Tax Issue

t me mention one more issue we have worked

together

ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI � .. Restructuring a Procedure Governing Presidential Findings as a Prerequisite to Covert Action

At your request, we have been working with the NSC staff and CIA on a plan that will modify the procedures for reviewing covert action proposals so as to reduce the number of findings you must sign and the degree of detail they include. We have now developed a plan which we will review with the Attorney General and the DCI.

The new Oversight Bill, as now passed by Congress, changes the reporting requirements of Hughes-Ryan. Its passage presents a good opportunity to make the changes we propose in the findings procedures.

We hope to have the new procedures ready shortly for your review.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT

FROM: STU EIZENST!�.� ERICA A. WAru.v"

SUBJECT: Royalty Owners -Exemption from the Windfall Profits Tax

Secretary Miller proposes that you approve a �R�A98 iH oar position on exempting small royalty owners from the Windfall Profits Tax. We wo uld � s upp or t the efforts of Senators Russell Long and Lloyd Bentsen to provide a tax credit of up to $1,000 for these royalty owne.rs. We will support ·the proposed amendment to the Reconciliation Bill grant in g this credit for one year, and we will a lso work in the next session to enact a permanent credit provision. As Secretary Miller's memorandum explains, this change would be re venue­

neutral; we will offset the $180 m il l ion revenue lo ss by an adjustment of the base prices in the Windfall Profits Tax.

RECOMMENDATIONS

We join Secretary Miller, Secretary'

Duncan, OMB and in re�mmending that yo u�rov e Secretary Miller's

V Approve � �( Disapprove

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT

FROM: SECRETARY MILLER� ��C

SUBJECT: Small Royalty OWners and the Windfall Profits Tax

ISSUE

There has been considerable obj ection to the effect of the Windfall Profits Tax on royalty owners, particularly the small royalty owners. Betwee n the time the tax was proposed and the time the tax was enacted, many of these royalty owners (with interests in uncontrolled oil) had received an increase in their income, and the application of the Windfall Prefi-tz �&"' causee .:! redYctien iR �sir aet iacgme,. as _,l. .. • -a-t-­was �ediately before the tax. There are about 650,000 royalty owners and approximately 66 percent make less than $30,000 per. year.

In the Senate version of the Revenue Reconciliation Bill, a

provision was include d that would give royalty owners a $1,000 tax credi t in 1980. The amendment would be revenue­neu·tral , since the $180 million revenue loss would be offset by an adjustment of the base prices in the Windfall Profits Tax. This has been politically cast as an amendment to provide relief against the inequity which was vi s ited upon the small royalty owners, who are des cribed as widows and small farmers .

·

PROPOSAL

That I send a clarifying letter to Chairman Russell Long expressing our support for his efforts to provide relief to small royalty owners in the form of a tax credit up to $1,000 for 1980.

In response to inquir ies , I propos e that we�monstrate a

willingness t�make this credit permanent, vided it is revenue-neutra like the 1980 credit.

·

If this position meets witn your approval, we would propose that Stuart Eizenstat be given the authority to control the method and timing of the announcement.

INFORMATION (Continued on back if necessary)

As Chairman of the Defense Appropriat.ions Subrommittee, Joe Addabl:o has been very help­ful to us with respect to holding down defense outlays. He has not been forthooming, oowever, in your re-election efforts, because he feels that he has not been accorded the respect and attention from you he deserves. 'Ihe Congressrran feels slighted because he has never been invited to the White House for a "one-on-one" with you. He blarres his dissatisfaction with you on the "incompetent White House and Canpaign staffs" • His charge about the staffs is rooted in so:rre unfortunate occurrences that the Congressman

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES: (Date of Call

views as personal slights. The rrost recent of these episddes carne to our attention on a Octob=r 7, when Congressman Mario Biaggi informed Addabbo that he had been asked by the

White House to make a presentation of $6 million to Ed Koch, to reimburse NeN York City for expenses incurred in protecting the diplorra.tic corp. Addabro is furious because this is his project, he introduced the original bill a couple of years aqo, and he has worked vigorously in his # 2 slot on the Treasury, Postal Service, and General Government Appropriations Subcorrmittee to insure that rroney is allocated for this i tern each year. Biaggi has had no involverrent in this issue at all. At this tirre, no presentation or announcanent has taken place concerning the $6 million. White House staff believes this problem is the result of a misunderstanding on the part of Biaggi and some inopportune remarks made by Treasury staff. Regardless of who is to blame, the Congressrran is convinced that this is yet another example of how poorly he is treated. This episode may be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Addablx> is highly respected by his black and Jewish constituencies. His endorsement and active prorrotion of your re-election could do us a world of good in New York City. 'Ihe Congressman has let it be known that he needs only a little stroking from you (in the form of a one-on-one rreeting) to get him to go the distance for the canpaign. A call from you at this t.iire, expressing your concern about this latest foul-up, and an invitation for him to corre to D.C. so he can fly back up to N.Y. with you on October 13 (to spend some tirre enroute discussing what you can do for him) could make the

difference.

EUGENE EIOENBERG �� JAMES T. MC1NTYKE, JR.�

'Proposed Executive Order delegating certain authorities in the Refugee Education Assistance Act. to the sec1.·etary of State

Attached is a proposed Executive Order de1egatinq to the Secretary of State the authority to "direct the operation of the camps and centers used to process and resettle Cuban and Haitian entrant.s. This authori.ty may be exercised without the necessity of an Environmenta1 Impact Statemertt. The reason for the urgency of your signing this Order is th�t this Order will obviate the need for an Environmental Impact Statement, the absence of which under our existing authority was the p�imary basis for Wednesday's District Court order enjoining further preparations at Fort Allen.

Representatives of the- Department of Justice are scheduled to appear before that District Court on Friday, OCtober 10, 1980, at 2 P.M. This Order will be presented to the Cou�t at that time a� an nlternate basis for removinq the Court's injunction.·

Attorneys in the Department of Justice who normally review proposed Orders have advised that there is no lega1 objaction to your signing thi� Order.
