The attached memoranda from Secretary Baker
describing three new working groups are being
forwarded to you for your information.
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

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.

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.

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

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.

July 30, 1981 The White House The Attorney General is undertaking
administrative actions, and submitting
to Congress, on behalf of the Adminis-
tration, a legislative package, based on
eight principles:
? continue America's tradition as a
land that welcomes peoples from
other countries.
? establish control over immigration
? recognize a special relationship
with our closest neighbors
? recognize that Mexico has
historically benefitted from
employment in the United States
? illegal immigrants have
established equities in the US
should be recognized
? strive to distribute fairly the
impacts of our national immigration
and refugee policy
? seek ways to integrate refugees
into our society
? recognize that immigration and
refugee problems require
international solutions.
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.

January 13, 1984 Republican Women We have what we think is a sensible

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.

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.

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.

III. 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.

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.
