Investment in human capital plays a critical role in maintaining and enhancing the competitiveness of U.S. firms in international markets. To compete effectively in the world market, U.S. firms must rely on high labor productivity as well as technological advantages. This memorandum establishes an interagency working group under the Economic Policy Council to review the relationship of human capital and competitiveness and develop for Council consideration options for improving the Federal Government policy toward encouraging the optimal amount of investment in human capital. The Working Group should use existing data to the greatest extent possible and focus on developing policy recommendations that could be proposed in the FY 1987 budget and/or the State of the Union address. The Working Group shall complete its report to the Council by December 15, 1985. The Working Group will include representatives at the Assistant Secretary level or above from the Departments of the Treasury, Commerce, and-Labor, the Office of Management and ' Budget, the Council of Economic Advisers, and the Executive Secretary of the Economic Policy Council and other departments and agencies as necessary, including the Department of Education. The representative from the Department of Labor will chair the Working Group and work closely with the Executive Secretary of the Council in developing the sequence of issues the Working Group will consider and in scheduling presentations to the Council. The Working Group's review should include, but not be limited, to: 1. Identifying the barriers to optimal private sector investment in human capital; 2. Assessing how other countries encourage investment in human capital; 3. Determining whether the Federal Government should provide the same or different incentives for investment in physical capital or human capital and how the Federal Government might change these incentives; and Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 4. Determining the appropriate role the Federal Government should play in encouraging greater business-university cooperation. I would appreciate the Council members on the Working Group informing the Executive Secretary of the Council the name of the individual they wish to represent them on the Working Group by close of business Monday, November 18, 1985. Thank you very much. WASHINGTON November 15, 1985 MEMORANDUM FOR THE ECONOMIC POLICY COUNCIL Intellectual property rights play an important role in enhancing American competitiveness. Broad intellectual property rights encourage the development of new technologies and processes which ultimately lower the costs of production for businesses in a wide variety of industries and accelerate the introduction of improved products and services to consumers. Adequately defining the scope of intellectual property rights and providing intellectual holders with mechanisms to enforce their rights provide American businesses with optimal returns on investment innovation and increase overall U.S. competitiveness. This memorandum establishes a high level interagency working group under the Economic Policy Council to review the relationship between protection of intellectual property rights and competitiveness and develop for Council consideration options for improving Government policies recognizing and enforcing intellectual property rights and encouraging optimal investment in the innovation of new ideas, products, and services. The Working Group should use existing data to the greatest extent possible and focus on developing specific policy options for Council consideration which could be included in the FY 1987 Budget or State of the Union address. The Working Group should complete its report for the Council by December 15, 1985. The Working Group will include representatives at the assistant Secretary level or above from the Departments of Treasury, State, Commerce, Labor, the Office of Management and Budget, the United States Trade Representative, the Council of Economic Advisers, and the Executive Secretary of the Economic Policy Council. The representative from the Department of Commerce will chair the Working Group and work closely with the Executive Secretary of the Economic Policy Council in developing the sequence of issues the Working Group will consider and scheduling presentations to the Council. The Working Group's review should include, but not be limited to: 1. Assessing whether the United States has in place effective statutes and policies to ensuring protection of patents, trademarks, and copyright. Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 : CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 2. Identifying obstacles, if any, to improving U.S. protection of intellectual property rights. 3. Assessing whether U.S. laws and policies provide protection of intellectual property rights to a degree equivalent to that provided by U.S. foreign competitors. I would appreciate the Council members on the Working Group informing the Executive Secretary of the Council the name of the individual they wish to represent them on the Working Group by close of business, Monday, November 18, 1985. Thank you very much. James A. Baker III Research and development (R&D) plays a critical role in maintaining and enhancing the competitiveness of U.S. firms in international markets. The U.S. needs to make adequate investments in new products and processes in order to maintain its technological lead in many markets. This memorandum establishes an interagency working group under the Economic Policy Council to review the relationship of R&D and competitiveness and develop for Council consideration options for improving the Federal Government policy toward encouraging the optimal amount of investment in R&D. The Working Group should use existing data to the greatest extent possible and focus on developing policy recommendations that could be proposed in the FY 1987 budget and/or included in the State of the Union address. The Working Group shall complete its report to the Council by December 15, 1985. The Working Group will include representatives at the Assistant Secretary level or above from the Departments of the Treasury and Commerce, the Office of Management and Budget, the Council of Economic Advisers, and the Executive Secretary of the Economic Policy Council and other departments and agencies as necessary, including the Departments of Defense and Energy and the National Science Foundation. The representative from the Department of the Treasury will chair the Working Group and work closely with the Executive Secretary of the Council in developing the sequence of issues the Working Group will consider and in scheduling presentations to the Council. The Working Group's review should include, but not be limited, to: 1. Identifying the barriers to private sector investment in R&D and its commercialization; 3. Developing options for more effective Federal Government targeting of basic research; 4. Assessing whether the Federal Government should subsidize (through either spending programs or the tax code) applied R&D, and if so, developing options for how it could do so more effectively; Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 : CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 5. Assessing whether the Federal Government should encourage investment in R&D in strategic areas affecting competitiveness (e.g., semiconductor research) above what the private sector would invest; and 6. Assessing whether the Federal Government should encourage investment in R&D of only goods, or whether it should also encourage investment in R&D of services, and if the latter, how it could do so. I would appreciate the Council members on the Working Group informing the Executive Secretary of the Council the name of the individual they wish to represent them on the Working Group by close of business Monday, November 18, 1985. Thank you very much. Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 : CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 ?ffu of tllr Attornru General 404mgtun, I. T. 20530 EDWIN MEESE III )tO CHAIRMAN, PRO TEMPORE Executive F agistry The discussion on immigration regarding the Administration's policy position was not completed on June 20 and will continue at the meeting scheduled for July 10, 1985. Several issues were raised which are these supplementary documents: (1) the subject of studies on immigration issues, (2) public opinion, and (3) general policy position of this Administration on immigration reform. Studies on Immigration The immigration issue has been studied in great detail. Subjects of study cover all aspects of immigration, the extent of the problem of illegal immigration and proposed ways of dealing with the problem. Attached is a list, compiled by INS, of some 75 studies which were conducted from 1974 to date. The Reagan Administration has approached this issue with action. In 1981, the President appointed a Cabinet-level task force headed by former Attorney General William French Smith. This task force in the Spring of 1981 made a number of policy recommendations which were endorsed by the President. From those recommendations evolved. the Administration bill and policy positions on immigration. The Simpson/Mazzoli bills followed thereafter and were consistent with the Administration's positions. S. 1200, introduced by Senator Simpson and now before the Senate continues that pattern. Since 1981, there have been 41 days of hearings in the Senate and House. These included testimony by over 478 witnesses, representing all political, economic, social, and philosophical points of view including the Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 : CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 / _ 3Z4,!:;, f Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 : CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 Administration's. The Attorney General and other officials testified in support of legislation. Political and Public Opinion Considerations Attached also is a list of public opinion polls taken in the last four years on immigration issues. It sets forth the name and date of the poll and the relevant statistics. More detail is available to those who would like to see it. These polls cover the entire spectrum of the well-respected polls in this country, and establish that a very large percentage of the American people of all races, ethnic groups, and economic levels strongly favor the basic reforms encompassed in S. 1200. Of equal public impact is the editorial and media support for immigration reform. This media support in the last four years has been overwhelming. Attached is a list of newspapers which have supported immigration reform legislation and the list of those in opposition. Current Considerations The Administration and the President personally have strongly supported immigration reform for the last five years and have stressed the need for such legislation. With votes in the Senate of 80 to 19 and 76 to 18, there appears to be strong bi-partisan support for immigration reform. Attached also is a partial list of statements made by the President in support of immigration reform since 1981.

October 19, 1983 Presidential News I supported actively and worked hard for Conference the passage twice of the Senate bill on immigration. I want to sign, as quickly as possible, immigration legislation. December 2, 1983 O&A's Session with We have legislation, however, in the Student Participants - Congress right now, that we've been Foundation Program trying to get passed. There are a great many illegal migrants coming into our country, and we're trying with this legislation to restore it to legal immigration. Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 : CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 January 13, 1984 Republican Women We have what we think is a sensible Officials program for immigration. And we're White House Luncheon going to keep pressing for it until we get it. April 17, 1984 National Hispanic I will insist that any immigration Leadership Conference legislation passed by the Congress provides for fair and effective enforcement. June 14, 1984 Presidential News But the simple truth is that we've lost Conference control of our own borders, and no nation can do that and survive. July 2, 1984 San Antonio, TX Yes, I think the bill as introduced is cost-effective and is fair. And it's also necessary, because the simple truth is we've lost control of our borders. And no country can afford that. We also, I think, in this bill, are taking action against those employers who literally entice illegal entry into the country with the promise of jobs, but then take advantage of those individuals. So, the only way we can see is sanctions. All we ask is that the employer be subject to sanctions if they are trying to go around this bill and hire, knowingly, undocumented workers. Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 : CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 October 21, 1984 League of Women Mr. Mondale: I think you're right that Voters - 1984 the polls show that the majority of Presidential Debate Hispanics want the bill, so I'm not doing it for political reasons. The President: Georgia Anne, we, believe me, supported the Simpson/Mazzoli Bill strongly and the Bill that came out of the Senate. I supported this Bill, I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and who have lived here even though sometime back they may have entered illegally. With regard to the employer sanctions, this - - we must have that. And, I'm going to do everything I can and all of us in the administration are, to join in again, when Congress is back at it, to get an immigration bill that will give us, once again, control of our borders. Well, my rebuttal is, I've heard the national debt blamed for a lot of things, but not for illegal immigration across our border - and it has nothing to do with it. O fftre of tip Attorneu (5eneral 1Uas4ingtnn, 1. (Q. 20530 MEMORANDUM FOR THE DOMESTIC POLICY COUNCIL FROM: Edwin Meese III Chairman, Pro Tempore The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugee Reform has scheduled hearings on June 24, 1985, on S. 1200, The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1985, which was introduced in May by Senator Simpson. Justice Department officials are scheduled to testify. The bill, while similar to the Simpson-Mazzoli bill of 1983, attempts to meet the criticism leveled at the 1983 bill, principally by modifying the employer sanction and verification provisions as well as the provisions for conferring legalized status on resident illegal aliens. (A side-by-side comparison of the main provisions of the two bills is attached.) S. 1200 represents a significant reform of the immigration laws. While a House sponsor has yet to emerge, the Administration must decide on the approach it will take at the June 24 hearing. II. BACKGROUND The Administration has strongly supported immigration reform for the last several years. In 1981, acting on the recommendations of the Presidential Task Force on Immigration and Refugee Policy chaired by former Attorney General Smith, the President announced an Administration bill proposing fundamental immigration law reforms. The Administration bill, introduced in October 1981, became the basis of the subsequent Simpson-Mazzoli bill, which was introduced in its original form in March 1982. The first Simpson-Mazzoli bill passed the Senate by a wide margin in August of that year, but died in the House under the weight of nearly 300 amendments. The bill was reintroduced in both houses in 1983. After again passing the Senate, it encountered significant opposition in the House. After President Reagan reaffirmed his Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 : CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 support for immigration reform in late 1983, the House leadership agreed to bring the legislation to the floor. Following protracted debate, Simpson-Mazzoli passed the House on June 20, 1984. The employer sanctions provisions in the bill passed by a substantial margin. The amnesty-legalization provisions were approved on a close vote. Last October, the bill died in conference committee after four weeks of negotiation over issues ranging from employment discrimination to the amount of federal reimbursement funds to be made available for additional social service costs incurred by the states. Immigration reform is a critical issue. New legislation is required for several reasons. Among the most important are: o Control of our borders is an essential component of national sovereignty. The current influx of illegal aliens, especially along the Mexican border, undermines our territorial integrity. The U.S. Border Patrol apprehended a record 1.138 million illegals in FY 1984. o Illegal immigrants compete for jobs with American workers and are perceived by many to be "stealing" jobs from unemployed Americans. o Large illegal alien populations in several states place a strain on social service systems. o Fear of apprehension and deportation prevents many illegal immigrants from seeking law enforcement assistance or protection from serious abuses. o Failure to develop a coherent, national immigration policy encourages haphazard, conflicting state and local responses which may be inconsistent with national policy goals. President Reagan reiterated his support for immigration reform during the 1984 campaign. Immigration reform has garnered significant media attention and considerable favorable editorial comment. -Editorial support for the key provisions of immigration reform legislation has been overwhelming.

SUMMARY OF S. 1200 Unlawful-Employment of Aliens o Provides for sanctions against all employers of illegal aliens. o Provides, after a one year transition period, civil fines for knowingly hiring illegal aliens, ranging from $100-$2,000 per illegal alien hired for the first offense to $3,000--$10,000 for "pattern or practice" violations. o Although there are no mandatory verification or record keeping procedures, provides that only employers with four or more employees who follow the described proce- dure will have an affirmative defense; other employers will be presumed to have hired knowingly any illegal aliens found in their employment. o Provides that fines are to be determined by immigration judges subject to judicial review by the circuit courts. Legalization of Status o Authorizes temporary legal resident status for illegal aliens who establish either that they have resided continuously in the U.S. since before January 1, 1980, or that they are Cuban--Haitian entrants known to the government prior to January 1, 1981. o Provides that persons receiving temporary status may convert to permanent resident status in 30 months if they satisfy requirements of minimal language competence and minimal knowledge of U.S. history and government. Legalization Commission o Establishes a national commission on immigration enforcement mechanisms, composed of 16 members appointed by the President from lists of names submitted by the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. o Defers granting lawful status to qualifying illegal aliens until the commission reports that appropriate immigration enforcement mechanisms are in place that substantially control illegal entry into the U.S., prevent and deter violations of the terms of entry, and eliminate substantially the employment of illegal aliens. Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 : CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 4 - State Legalization Impact Assistance Grants o Authorizes a three-year block grant program, capped at $600 million per year, to assist state and local governments in meeting the costs of public assistance caused by the legalization program. o Within the $600 million cap, authorizes reimbursement to states for the imprisonment of illegal aliens. Increased Penalties for Immigration Related Violations o Establishes new criminal offenses for knowingly bringing an illegal alien to the U.S., and increases felony penalties for fraud and counterfeiting of identification documents. Temporary Agriculture Programs o Establishes special statutory procedures for "H-2" seasonal workers in agriculture that streamline the application and review process while maintaining the labor market test and assessment of need. o Allows agricultural employers to continue to employ certain illegal aliens in declining numbers over a three-year transition period. o Establishes a 12-member commission on agricultural worker programs, to be appointed by the Speaker of the House, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, the Secretaries of Agriculture and Labor, and the Attorney General to report to Congress within two years any specific legislative recommendations regarding temporary worker programs. Funding for Improved Enforcement o Authorizes specific amounts for INS for FY 1986 ($840 million) and 1987 ($830 million) to increase the Border -Patrol and other enforcement activities. 0 Authorizes "such sums as may be necessary" for increased enforcement efforts by the Department of Labor to discourage the employment of illegal aliens. Reporting Requirements o Requires the Administration to provide Congress with the following reports: (a) triennial Presidential reports on various impacts of immigration; (b) annual Presidential reports for five years concerning the effectiveness and impact of employer sanctions; and (c) GAO annual reports for five years on the Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 : CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 implementation of employer sanctions, to assess if a pattern of employment discrimination has developed against citizens or eligible resident workers, and to determine whether an unnecessary regulatory burden has been created for employers. o Creates a task force composed of the Attorney General, the Chairman of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, and the Chairman of the EEOC to review each GAO report and to recommend any legislative remedies if a pattern of discrimination appears. Other Changes o Contains several provisions which will make small but important changes in the legal immigration process, including: (a) making more visas available to residents of "colonies," such as Hong Kong (up to 3,000 annually from the current 600); (b) authorizing a pilot non-immigrant visa waiver program for up to eight countries; and (c) providing special relief to certain family members of employees of international organizations. IV. POLICY COMPARISON OF S. 1200 AND THE 1983 SIMPSON MAZZOLI BILL Employer Sanctions The principal differences between the 1983 bill and S. 1200 are found in the areas of employer sanctions and legali- zation. The 1983 bill would have required employers to verify the citizenship of prospective employees. That bill also contained stringent employment eligibility verification record requirements. Stiff civil and criminal penalties were provided for employers who violated these provisions. By contrast, S. 1200 takes a less stringent approach. Criminal penalties are eliminated, as are the mandatory recordkeeping requirements and employee identification and verification requirements. Instead, by making records documenting verification an affirmative defense to charges of hiring illegal aliens, employers are provided significant incentives to verify the citizenship of new employees. Employers who fail to keep such records will confront a rebuttable presumption that they knowingly hired illegal aliens. Legalization In S. 1200, automatic legalization provisions have been replaced by a "triggering" approach. The new bill would establish a Presidentially-appointed commission which first would have to find that the employer sanction provisions were working to stem the influx of illegal aliens before the bill's legali- zation provisions would become effective. After such a Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 : CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 V - determination was made, aliens who have maintained a permanent residence in the United States since January 1, 1980 (or January 1, 1981 in the-case of certain Cuban and Haitian refugees) could become temporary legal residents. These individuals will later be able to obtain permanent resident status if they are able to meet minimal language and U.S. history competence requirements. Temporary Agricultural Workers There also are some changes in the new bill's approach to temporary agricultural workers. S. 1200 attempts to fashion a compromise between the need for agricultural workers and the desire to prevent the displacement of U.S. workers -- similar to that which emerged from the conference committee last year. It incorporates a streamlined H-2 temporary worker program with a three year transition period during which farm employers could continue to hire illegal aliens. Several departments within the Administration have indicated different responses to these provisions. These differences should be resolved in favor of a unified Administration position before the June 24 testimony. V. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION Option 1: Support of Simpson Bill (S. 1200) in its Entirety Pros o S. 1200, which was crafted by Senator Simpson to overcome objections to the predecessor Simpson-Mazzoli bill, is closer to the Administration's original bill in important respects, and also may be the most politically viable proposal. o Administration support of Simpson's current proposal would increase its chances of success by presenting a united front on immigration reform. o The "trigger" legalization approach may be more acceptable to those in the Administration who found the simultaneous amnesty approach of the Simpson-Mazzoli bill too generous. o The elimination of mandatory employer identity verification requirements, recordkeeping requirements, and criminal sanctions would make the bill more attractive to the business community. o S. 1200 may not be politically viable. Althouch the legalization change may attract some supporters, it may be offset by opposition from Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 : CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 those willing to support reform only if it includes simultaneous enactment of amnesty and employer sanction provisions. o Weakened employer verification and sanction provisions may reduce the disincentive to hire illegals to the point that the bill would not reduce the influx of illegal aliens. o Many opponents of the legalization provisions of the Simpson-Mazzoli bill will continue to oppose deferred amnesty on philosophical grounds. o S. 1200 may be an inefficient allocation of funds in that it may provide insufficient funds for Border Patrol enforcement. o The "non-mandatory" employer verification incentives may encourage employers seeking to establish an affirmative defense to adopt discriminatory employee identity verification measures. o Limiting Administration support of the Simpson bill to its "goals" would reaffirm Administration support for immigration reform, without constraining the President's flexibility to negotiate with House leaders or support variations of the Simpson bill or other proposals. o Selection of this option also would allow the Administration to seek amendments to particular provisions of the bill, such as the three year transitional period during which farm employers could continue to hire illegal aliens rather than relying exclusively on the streamlined H-2 temporary worker program and the cap on reimbursable state expenses, and would clarify in the statute an employer's right to inquire about the legal status of potential employees. 0 Limited Administration support would decrease significantly the Simpson bill's chances of passage, would weaken Simpson's negotiating position in an eventual conference committee debate, and thereby, would decrease the chances of enactment of any immigration reform legislation. Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2009/12/02 : CIA-RDP87M00539R002303800003-0 U - o Selection of option 3 would allow a reexamination of the foundations of the Simpson-Mazzoli bill: employer sanctions and legalization. For example, enhanced border enforcement and increased economic aid to Mexico and Central America might be a better approach, or an increase in legal immigration quotas might release current immigration pressures. o Even with the new "trigger" approach, the bill would confer legalized status on law breakers. o It is difficult to estimate the direct and indirect costs of enforcement of the proposed labor standards in S. 1200. o Opposing S. 1200 would contradict past Administration support for immigration reform, especially in light of recent newspaper stories hearlding Administration support for the Simpson effort. 0 Refusing support of any kind would play into the hands of Democratic critics who have argued that the Administration is not serious about immigration reform. o Given the lack of viable alternatives, opposition effectively would end the chances of immigration reform in this Congress.
