Dear Mayor Dixon,
Thank you for your very kind note regarding the breakfast my colleagues and I hosted for you in the Capitol.
We received excellent reports from everyone who attended. While it is evident that the District of Columbia is in a unique situation, I believe your views helped us to better understand many of the problems that this Congress can help you find solutions to.
You ran a very strong and energetic campaign and your commitment to achieving the goals you outlined for D.C. voters is commendable. I wish you luck in achieving your goals and hope you won't hesitate to get in touch when we can help.
Sincerely,
(signature)
BOB DOLE

BREAKFAST MEETING WITH MAYOR DIXON
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1991
8:30 A.M. - S-230
1. DC Budget Deficit
o No doubt the top issue will be the Districts $300 million budget deficit. Mayor Dixon is seeking a $100 million supplemental payment for 1991. While there is sympathy for her request - no one has come up with a way to finance the supplemental (i.e., no one is willing to cut anything else).
Additionally the Mayor will want to talk about increasing the basic Federal subsidy to the District in the future. In 1991 the Federal payment will be about $430 million. Additional funds are also being made available to assist the District in financing the additional costs related to more police and fire fighter costs resulting from public activities (demonstrations, etc.) related to the Gulf War.
o Mayor Dixon will likely want to discuss her own efforts to bring their deficit under control.
2. DC DRUG/CRIME
o DC is still the murder capital. You might ask what she specifically has in mind and what (other than money) we can do to help.

Sharon Pratt Dixon
Bold Leadership and Integrity for the District of Columbia
Sharon Pratt Dixon's come from behind win of the Democratic Party's nomination for Mayor of the District of Columbia on September 11, 1990, is just her latest political feat, capping more than 20 years of activity in local and national Democratic politics.
The native Washingtonian, born January 30, 1944, first distinguished herself as a leader and concerned citizen as an honors student in the District of Columbia public schools. Sharon graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1961. She continued her education at Howard University, earning a B.A. with honors in Political Science in 1965 and a Juris Doctor from Howard's School of Law in 1968.
Once in private practice, she fought for the rights of children, provided juveniles with strong and competent legal representation and advocated on behalf of families.
In 1972, she joined the faculty at the Antioch School of Law. Over the next four years, she inspired young legal minds with the value of public service. Her growing reputation as an advocate for the citizens of the District of Columbia prompted former House Speaker Thomas P. (Tip) O'Neill to appoint her Vice Chairman of the D.C. Law Revision Commission. As Vice Chairman, she was part of the leadership that transferred the District's Criminal Code Authority from Congress to the D.C. City Council.
In 1976, Sharon joined the General Counsel's office at PEPCO and in 1983, she became the first African-American woman in the company's history to hold the office of Vice President. As Vice President of Consumer Affairs, and later Public Policy, Sharon brought compassion to PEPCo by initiating a period of unprecedented community service to the city's low- and fixed-income residents through: (1) the Residential Aid Rider Program, which assisted over 15,000 customers, many of them senior citizens, by offering them a 25 percent discount on their monthly bills; and (2) the Consumer Liaison program, which addressed the real needs of consumers by providing installment billing to qualified customers, large print bills for seniors and better services for all of Washington.
She also decentralized PEPCO and brought jobs to the community by providing satellite branches of PEPCO-first, on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, S.E, and then in numerous other locations, including Adams Morgan.
Sharon Pratt Dixon is widely respected nationally as a leader in the Democratic Party. She was the first African-American and first woman to become Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee; served four consecutive terms as a Democratic National Committee-woman; and has held a seat on the Executive Committee of the Democratic Party. She has been of Counsel with the law firm of Sidley & Austin since September 1989.
(page 16)
02/15/91 10:01 202 727 6895 OIR 004/004
Sharon believes it is her duty to be active in those organizations that serve the citizens of Washington. She has been an active member of the Legal Aid Society, Howard University's Board of Trustees, the Ward 4 Democratic Club, and many others. Organizations such as the D.C. Chapter of the NAACP, the United Negro College Fund, and the Association of Black Women Attorneys have recognized and awarded Sharon for her efforts, both locally and nationally.
Having lost her mother when she was still quite young, Sharon discovered firsthand the value of the extended family -- the love she enjoyed from her father, grandmother and aunt instilled in her a deep commitment to children, community and family. A member of Holy Comforter Church, Sharon is a now a single mother who is devoted to her two daughters and the people of the District of Columbia.
Sharon Pratt Dixon is qualified, committed, and prepared to unify this city and make City Hall work for all Washingtonians.

BREAKFAST MEETING WITH MAYOR DIXON
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1991
8:30 A.M. - S-230
1. DC Budget Deficit
o No doubt the top issue will be the Districts $300 million budget deficit. Mayor Dixon is seeking a $100 million supplemental payment for 1991. While there is sympathy for her request - no one has come up with a way to finance the supplemental (i.e., no one is willing to cut anything else).
Additionally the Mayor will want to talk about increasing the basic Federal subsidy to the District in the future. In 1991 the Federal payment will be about $430 million. Additional funds are also being made available to assist the District in financing the additional costs related to more police and fire fighter costs resulting from public activities (demonstrations, etc.) related to the Gulf War.
o Mayor Dixon will likely want to discuss her own efforts to bring their deficit under control.
2. DC DRUG/CRIME
o DC is still the murder capital. You might ask what she specifically has in mind and what (other than money) we can do to help.
