TIPITIE: Dotgou have any idea how much money in a lump sum this
will amouns/ ina years period?
GOVERNOR: well, my figures show that for the last semester of
last year the expenditures in the categories of capital outlay,
current expenses, lunch and school supplies, for 5,005 Cuban children,
amounted to $1,800,000. And of this sum the Federal Government had
paid only roughly $600,000. They should have paid $900,000. For
the coming year the estimate of average daily membership of Cuban
refugee children for the whole year is in the neighborhood of
10,000, and so the payments, the increases, will be on the order
of twice what they were: in other words roughly, five to six
hundred thousand, perhaps increase a semester.
THURSTON: Did you go into the question of relocating any of these
Cuban children?
GOVERNOR: Not specifically children. We went into the problem of
accellerating the relocation program, but frankly there are not too
many new ideas on that. It will take the collaboration of the State
Department to have new Cuban refugees flown directly into some other
port of entry instead of Miami to keep the problem from being
compounded and spread the load somewhat.
TUTTLE: Did you go into the possibility that the Sheriff's
department -- Tom Kelly is screaming for money down there -- that
he could get any sort of Federal supplement as a result of the
increase police......
GOVERNOR: Not out of our conversations except for the fact that
Secretary Ribicoff did recOgnize very emphatically that this is a
national problem and I feel we laid the predicate for going back
for a national solution. Senator Holland was particularly emphatic
on this point.
FARR: I noted in one of the dispatches from Washington this
morning that a possible second port of entry would be Tampa or
New Orleans, would it relieve the state's problem if they Just
started bringing them into Tampa rather than Miami, or would that
Just shift the burden to Tampa rather than help the state any?
-3-
GOVnPNOR: Well, of course, so far as the state is concerned, there
would be no improvement. So far as Dade County is concerned, there
would be one if they went to Tampa. However, the conferees felt
that the question of the port of entry was one that the State
Department would have to make a decision on and it was left on
that basis. Our Congressional delegation plans to contact the
State Department to assist in that determination.
TUTTLE: On this contribution they had made before: does Ribicoff
seem very ready to bounce it up? Was the government supposed to
be paying this before and not paying it, or did they change the
formula so they would pay more, or did we get the short end of
the stick?
GOVERNOR: Apparently you will recall, that the original formula
was worked out rather hastily, almost the first official act after
the organization of his department that Secretary Ribicoff engaged
in after inauguration. Apparently the capital outlay in some
fashion was not included on the basis that this was a temporary
problem, and therefore there was no need to build new buildings for
a temporary problem, but some doubt has risen in our minds now as
to the temporary nature of the problem. Certainly it is of long
enough duration to warrant more than a temporary solution.
FARR: Was your visit to Washington confined entirely to a discussion
of the Cuban situation with Secretary Ribicoff?
GOVERNOR: That. plus visits with the Florida delegation.
FARR: You didn't have an opportunity to obtain any further infor-
matian on the re-routing of Interstate 75?
GOVERNOR: No. I had the opportunity but had no occasion to.
TUTTLE: I received a letter yesterday from wilbur King in desperate
terms about money for operating the utilities Commission.
GOVERNOR: You did?
TUTTLE: Yes. A copy of the one he sent to the State Budget
Commission. Have you seen it?
GOVERNOR: No, I haven't seen it.
TUTTLE: It was a desperately phrased appeal for money, I didn't
know whether you were familiar with the problem or not.
-h-
GOVERNOR: I am familiar with the appeals for money, but not with
this particular one, no air,I have not seen that letter.
GRETSCH: Governor, I think that Representative Saunders of Key
West has been interested in setting up some sort or program for
the Cubans down there -- relocation camps -- did you talk with
him about that the last time he was up here?
GOVERNOR: No, I did not. I can tell you that there is a great
hesitancy on the part of the Federal authorities, and one that I
would share, to go into anything that looks like refugee camps
or things of that kind.
GRETSCR: You don't think it would overweigh the problem of their
glutting the labor market in the area?
GOVERNOR: At some point in development it might, but as of right
now I would say it would not.
Thank you,gent1emen.
TUTTLE: Thank you, Governor.
