I'm very much opposed to the proposal for expenditure targets for Medicare reimbursement. How on earth will physicians be able to take care of their patients once the targetted amount has been expended? As you know, my AMA representatives in Washington are working with principles in this matter on several alternatives to expenditure targets. Sincerely yours, Bg P. Frank MD. Gary P.

My first objection is to the astronomical cost of the program and the price of five hundred million dollars per bomber is absolutely ridiculous. This money could be put to much better purpose in other areas of the budget. I also oppose the project on the basis that in my opinion, this weapon system is destabilizing and would actually seem to increase the chances of nuclear war. Sincerely yours, payl. hank ms. Gary P.

Suite #1105 Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 659-8850 William H. G. FitzGerald Chairman Thomas P. Melady Co-Chairman July 27, 1989 Henry C. Cashen, II Secretary/Treas. Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: Recently President Bush announced before the Busi- ness Roundtable his intentions to appoint an Education Advisory Committee to offer him counsel on "the newest and best ideas for reforming the education system. " This is one of the most important problems facing our country today. I personally am involved in pro- viding scholarships over the past several years for the Archdiocese of Washington parochial schools and two universities as well. However, I wish to recommend a man of high integ- rity and outstanding ability for this Advisory Committee - James P. Gallagher, President of Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science. Jim Gallagher has a PhD in in education from Catholic University. For three years he was Commissioner of Higher Education in the Common- wealth of Pennsylvania. As Commissioner, he had administrative responsibility for the State University system - 14 colleges and universities with over 58,000 students enrolled and an annual budget of $500 million. In 1983, he wrote the Civil Rights Plan for the Pennsylvania State schools which was accepted by the Federal Department of Education, a remarkable achievement. Jim Gallagher is a man who has a combination of practical "hands-on" experience with the vision and Honorable John H. Sununu July 27, 1989 Page Two understanding of how to get practical education programs operat- ing successfully. He was appointed by Governor Thornburgh who I am sure will recommend him. Jim worked with me in the Bush campaign on educational issues including both public and private school programs. I am sure that Jim would make a valuable contribution to the Advisory Committeee. He is a strong supporter of President Bush and performed surrogate tasks during the election campaign. Your serious consideration of this highly qualified Bush advocate would be most appreciated. With all good wishes, Sincerely, Bill William H.G.

Sununu White House Chief of Staff 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: Craig Zieba is a parishioner in my parish. He is a 23-year old (A) student at the University of Connecticut, who was born a quadrapalegic. His mother recently approached me through a good friend who knows of our friendship to ask if her son could obtain your autograph and that of President Bush. The young man's hobby is collecting autographs of well known personages. He has the authentic signatures of the past few presidents and a number of ballplayers. I suspect now that George Bush is President, he may be equally proud of being Yale's first baseman on two NCAA teams. That would make him the only person who could qualify in both of Craig's collection categories. If you and the President would accede to this request, I know it would make this young man very happy. His address is: Craig Zieba Rockridge Hillside Drive Greenwich, CT 06831-4502 My thanks in advance for your taking the time from your many responsibilities to brighten the day of an individual less fortunate than us.

Sununu White House Chief of Staff Executive Office of the President 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: In connection with the President's decision on a new steel program, I want to bring to your attention the enclosed Report by the General Accounting Office (GAO) released today by Senator Pete Wilson, at whose request it was conducted, together with Senator Wilson's press release. The GAO Report strongly supports the conclusion that extension of the steel quotas is not needed for the domestic steel industry, but that it would continue to do harm to American steel using manufacturers. More specifically, the GAO concludes: The primary cause of the loss of sales by the U.S. integrated steel producers in the late 70's and early 80's was not increased imports, but decline, both long term and cyclical, in domestic consumption of steel. The industry has returned to normal levels of profitability and has recovered strongly. Expiration of the quotas could effect the market for individual steel products, but it would likely have little immediate effect on the steel market as a whole. Should the steel industry need protection from injury caused by subsidized or dumped imports, remedies are available under existing unfair trade laws. CABLE: "HOGANDER WASHINGTON". TELEX: 248370 (RCA), 892757 (wu). FACSIMILE: 202/637-5910 EASYLINK: 62776734 Page 2 The most likely cause of the import surge in the early 80s was not unfair trade, but the rise in the value of a dollar against other currencies in conjunction with the recovery in U.S. steel consumption resulting from general economic recovery. Net indirect steel imports (i.e. goods containing steel) are not reduced by the steel import quotas; in fact, the quotas increase such imports. By making steel more expensive and difficult to obtain in the United States, trade restrictions put domestic steel consuming industries at a competitive disadvantage relative to their foreign counterparts. The overall picture painted by the GAO Report indicates that the health of the U.S. steel industry largely is a function of macroeconomic factors rather than unfair imports, as asserted by the steel industry. The GAO Report strongly reinforces the position of steel users that a phase-out of steel quotas is feasible and appropriate. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sununu Chief of Staff First Floor, West Wing The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Re: Candidacy of Richard Breeden, SEC Chairman Dear Mr. Sununu: I understand that the Administration is in the process of reaching a decision on a critical vacancy, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. While the Investment Company Institute, which is the national association of the mutual fund industry, does not as a matter of policy issue endorsements for appointment to public office, I would personally urge most strongly the appointment of Richard Breeden to this vacancy. I first met Mr. Breeden in 1983 when he served as Deputy Counsel to Vice President Bush and as the principal staff member on the Vice President's Task Group on Regulation of Financial Services. My organization submitted extensive suggestions to the Task Group, and Mr. Breeden dealt with the issues raised by the mutual fund industry in a fair and highly professional manner. While we have not agreed with all of the positions Mr. Breeden has taken, we have continued to be impressed by his open minded and even handed approach to problems. I have spoken with a number of individuals in the mutual fund industry who have dealt with Mr. Breeden. They universally believe him to be a man of high intelligence, knowledge and maturity. Mr. Breeden's experience as both a private practitioner in the securities area and as an official in two Administrations provides him with a unique background to serve as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. I believe that he would serve the country and the Administration well and loyally were he to be appointed to this most important position. Sincerely yours, nathP.Fl 1600 M Street. N.W.

C. 20500 Dear John: This is a follow-up to our brief conversation concerning our invitation that you speak at the joint banquet at the Winter Meeting of the American Nuclear Society and our 1989 Nuclear Energy Forum on Tuesday, November 28, in San Francisco. I am enclosing the earlier invitation letters that Bert Wolfe and I sent to you and President Bush on June 5. We have now gotten the enclosed letter from Mr. Joseph W. Hagin II indicating that the President cannot accept our invitation. We had hoped that there might be some chance to have the President speak at our banquet if he were intending to be in California around that time. However, since he can't make it, we certainly hope that you might be able to do it. When we spoke after the memorial service for Mark Harroff, you mentioned that you might not know whether you could do it until Labor Day. That's o.k. with us. But we hope you will not mind if we indicate in our program that we have invited you to address this joint ANS and industry banquet. As we discussed, I believe it would be important for your presentation to cover the the major goals of the President and his Administration with emphasis on energy issues. We certainly don't expect your talk to be a nuclear talk but hope that you would include the Administration's intentions, views and policy on nuclear energy as part of the total energy picture. It was very good seeing you and meeting Mrs. Sununu. Arlene and I hope level stay in Washington. we'll have the opportunity to get together during your very busy and top You have our best wishes and high regard. Sincerely, Harold B.

During this entire period I have never witnessed the level of turmoil and the aura of impending crisis now characterizing the US fusion program. This serious situation has developed only over the last year or so, and has culminated in two events: (1) DOE Director of Energy Research, Robert O. Hunter, Jr., has asked Congress to cut $50 million from the President's FY1990 magnetic fusion budget. This money would then be used to initiate a civilian krypton-fluoride laser fusion project, a project which has had virtually no discussion or review within the magnetic or inertial confinement scientific communities. (2) As a consequence, the House Appropriations Committee, sensing a perceived lack of support and enthusiasm for magnetic fusion has cut $68.8 million from the President's $349 million request. Impacted by this reduction is the CIT project, the future flagship of the US fusion program. I am writing to strongly protest these actions. In my opinion they are based on perhaps well intentioned, but nevertheless misguided views of the role of fusion, the progress in fusion, and the proper scientific path to achieve fusion energy. The role of fusion remains unchanged. Commercial electric power plants based on the fusion reaction would satisfy the worlds energy needs for as far into the future as one can imagine. Such plants would be environmentally safe, particularly with regard to hazardous waste production and disposal, and utilize a fuel that is inexpensive, virtually inexhaustable and easily extractable from the ocean. They would make no contribution to acid rain, the greenhouse effect or other air pollutants. A fusion reactor would, however, be a technologically complex facility. Whether or not such a facility can be engineered for a reasonable economic cost and have high reliability, maintainability and availability is unclear at present. The resolution of these issues is a primary motivation for the US Gov- ernment to support a fusion research program with both a strong physics and engineering base. The progress in fusion research since the inception of the program has been truly remarkable. Overall performance has been increased by an astounding factor of ten thou- sand. Current experiments are factors of only two or three away in terms of performance and temperature from those required in an ignited reactor. In spite of the remaining sci- entific uncertainties, there is little reason to doubt that net fusion energy will be produced if the program funding continues at a reasonable rate. In my opinion the proper path to fusion requires the construction of an alpha particle heated plasma experiment such as CIT, to be built and completed as soon as possible. De- lays, in order to more fully understand the problem of plasma confinement, while seeming logical in the abstract, actually can have a large negative impact on the overall program; to wit, the projected budget cuts and the already visible decline in morale. The difficulty is the insistence by some that CIT be a risk free demonstration device, demonstrating what we already know, instead of a physics and engineering experiment whose goal it is to learn what we don't know. Furthermore, I, like many scientists, believe that the additional research carried out during a several year delay of CIT has only a very small possibility of accurately providing the information required to design a "risk free" experiment. The fusion program, in view of its enormous potential gains to society, should be part of an environmentally sound national energy program. Many view the projected budget cuts as the beginning of the dismantling of the fusion program. The losses in terms of skilled, dedicated scientists and existing and new experimental facilities may well be devastating. For the sake of the country's future energy needs and security, I urge you to support a strong and stable fusion program as part of a national energy policy. Please devote your efforts towards restoring these ill conceived budget cuts. Sincerely yours, Jeffrey frudhy J.P.

This letter is to tell you what I know about Paul, which will make clear why I support him for Chairman. Chronologically, I first met Paul when he was an economist at Yale and came to Washington to advise a committee which I chaired on energy. His commitment to the market system, and his intelligent recommendations for applying that to the then distorted energy economy of this country, were both practical and helpful. (It says something about the Nixon Administration that we readily took the advice of a man who had mistakenly signed an ad for McGovern.) Since that time I have continued to stay in touch with, and discuss with, Paul our national economic problems. He continues to be a particularly insightful proponent of the kind of economic solutions that you and I espouse. Several years ago Paul became the Chairman of the Simon Business School at the University of Rochester. This is a school whose philosophy is based on "entrepreneurship". At his and Bill Simon's request I became a member of the Simon School's Board. As such I have watched Paul run that institution with considerable skill. From the above you will see why I think Paul would make a fine Chairman of the SEC. If I can be of any further help in discussing his credentials I would be pleased to do so. with warm regards, I remain, Sincerely Lete yours, Peter M. Flanigan The Honorable John H.

FAHRENKOPF, JR. McLEAN, VIRGINIA 22102 DIRECT DIAL 202/637-5676 703/848-2600 June 20, 1989 Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: I appreciate the opportunity to set forth for the President and you the key considerations which U.S. steel users hope the President will take into account as he decides on future steel policy in the coming days. For the past several months, we have been working with a large and growing group of American steel using manufacturers which, for the first time in roughly 20 years of various forms of protection for the steel industry, have come together in 1989 to assert the interests of steel consumers. The Coalition of American Steel Using Manufacturers includes over 300 companies and associations representing manufacturers of farm equipment, trucks, construction equipment, auto parts, hardware, appliances, food equipment, industrial equipment, machine parts, and many other steel-intensive products. I am attaching a list of members. Steel accounts for 20% or more of the total production costs for many of these industries, which are among the largest exporting industries in the United States. At at various points over the period of the current steel VRAs, these companies have experienced serious steel shortages and severe price increases which have increased their costs and undermined their competitiveness in this market and abroad. From 1986 to 1988, for example, U.S. steel prices rose 15% and prices for some steel products increased 30-40% and more. Even worse, steel shortages during periods of the VRAs have disrupted their manufacturing operations, slowed modernization efforts, and resulted in lost sales to foreign competitors. A recent report of the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) found that the VRA program has cost U.S. manufacturers between $4.1 and $12.3 CABLE: "HOGANDER WASHINGTON". TELEX: 248370 (RCA), 892757 (wu) FACSIMILE: 202/637-5910 EASYLINK: 62776734 Page 2 J. Sununu 6/20/89 billion in lost sales, including $1.7 billion in lost exports. The consequences of this for the overall U.S. economy are serious; steel-using industries like machinery, transportation equipment and metal manufacturers employ 5.5 million workers, compared to 170-210,00 in steel. These are the problems that American manufacturers have experienced over the past five years, but the real issue before the President is what is the best steel policy for America for the 1990s. The steel industry today is profitable. It is operating at near capacity. By its own acknowledgment, it is cost competitive with steel industries around the world. It simply is not the injured industry it was in 1984. What is troubling, however, is that U.S. steel prices are rising while the prices that Japanese and German steel producers are charging their domestic customers who compete with U.S. manufacturers are steady or falling. The danger from continuing the steel VRAs in their present form is that American manufacturers who compete in global markets once again will be forced to pay far more for their steel than foreign manufacturers with whom they compete, as has been the case for most of the past 20 years. These concerns have led 21 Senators and most of the House Republican leadership to write the President calling for a new steel policy for America that eliminates the burden of VRAs on American manufacturers. They recognize the commitment of the President in favor of some form of extension of the VRAS. But there also appears to be broad recognition on the Hill, even among many sponsors of VRA extension legislation, that a new balance must be struck between the legitimate concerns of the steel companies for an end to foreign unfair practices in steel trade and the essential need of American manufacturers for readily available and competitively priced steel. Unlike the steel companies, the steel users have proposed a compromise. It would have the following elements: 1. Announce a date certain (no more than 2 years) on which steel quotas will end and U.S. trade laws will be enforced. As long as foreign producers have an exemption from U.S. unfair trade laws and a guaranteed share of the U.S. market, as they do under the current system, there is no real incentive for them to come to grips with subsidies and other trade distorting practices in their steel industries. Knowing that they will lose that exemption on a date certain is critical to successful negotiations. Page 3 J. Sununu 6/20/89 2. Launch serious international negotiations, as indicated in the President's letter to Senator Heinz, to eliminate trade distorting government policies on steel. Setting a deadline for termination of the VRAs is the predicate for serious international negotiations to diminish government subsidies and other practices which distort steel trade. Countries with strong records as fair steel traders could be dropped from the VRA system immediately, or as they sign on to a new discipline for freer steel trade. 3. Phase-out the quotas over the duration of the negotiating period with increasing quota levels over that period. The most important feature of a new VRA system is that it should be designed to phase-out over the term of the VRAs. Quota levels should increase immediately and increase further over time thereby introducing greater competition in the U.S. market. By building an automatic increase in quota levels into a new system, the U.S. government will insure that its decision this year constitutes more than simply another extension of a de facto permanent steel industry protection program. 4. Administratively change the VRA program to create greater flexibility. There are a number of steps that can be taken which would add greater flexibility to the program during the phase-out period. It should be understood, however, that changes in short supply procedures alone are not adequate to meet the needs of many steel users, particularly smaller manufacturers who often have no more than 4 weeks total from request for bid to delivery and cannot afford to come to Washington for their steel. The steel users are convinced that a compromise along these lines would have broad support in Congress, including among many Senators and Congressmen who believe that some VRA extension is appropriate but who also recognize that a new program must be designed to enhance the overall competitiveness of the American economy in the 1990s. Page 4 J. Sununu 6/20/89 Finally, while the steel users recognize that the Administration needs to maintain some flexibility as it enters negotiations with our trading partners, at the same time we hope that there is enough clarity to the framework set forth by the President so that Members of Congress, and steel users across the United States, can rally behind the President's program and successfully resist any effort in the Congress to impose a more restrictive steel policy on the Administration. Once again, John, I appreciate this opportunity to set forth the concerns and thoughts of American steel users as the Administration shapes this critical decision.

Enclosed is my letter to him explaining the concept and how it has worked in the State of Washington. The Administration's new proposals for the environment should include such a body to resolve the politically and scientifically complex issues inherent in solving these problems. Enclosed is other material to acquaint you with my background including a proposal to Exxon concerning the Valdez oil spill. In any event I am still interested in joining the administration even though I have found interim employment as the Deputy Director for Operations of the Martin Luther King Center. This is a nonprofit corporation formed in 1969 and is the largest provider of emergency shelter, transitional housing and support services for the homeless in Tacoma and Pierce County. Enclosed is the annual report which I just completed for them. The extent of the homeless problem is much broader than normally thought and so being given the opportunity to help these people is a rewarding experience. The administration's consideration of this proposal is appreciated.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: This is to invite you to a luncheon reception in Room B-340 of the Rayburn House Office Building at noon on Wednesday, June 14, 1989, for Dr. Israel Shahak, Chairman of Israel's Human and Civil Rights League and, until this year, a Professor of Chemistry at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Dr. Shahak, a Warsaw-born Holocaust survivor who was liberated from the Bergen-Belson extermination camp by American troops in 1945, has lived in Israel since its creation in 1948. He is an articulate observer of Israeli society whose monthly "Translations from the Hebrew Press" provide the most illuminating reading on contemporary Israel available in English. In Washington, Dr. Shahak will also be a guest at the National Press Club's "Newsmaker" breakfast and at a luncheon in his honor at the National Cathedral hosted by Canon Michael Hamilton. He will speak to Washington, D.C. clergy and peace activists on Israel's response to the Palestinian intifada at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 16, at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. If you can drop by this Congressional luncheon for a question and answer session with Dr. Shahak, we believe you will find his remarkably candid observations concerning both Israel and the Palestinians of great value in understanding the complex Mideast peace process as it continues to unfold.

Fredette HISTORIAN 150 MAIN STREET FITCHBURG, MASSACHUSETTS 01420 TELEPHONE 617-345-4450 May 25, 1989 Mr. John H. Sununu White House Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: Recently I was at an antique book store and found this enclosed book on the second meeting of the Governors in 1910. I thought that you would be interested in having it since I've read in the past about your involvements with these functions. Another interesting thing thay I found out was that President Franklin Pierce from New Hampshire was the one who gave the Resolute ship to Queen Victoria which in turn she had the timbers made into a desk for President Rutherford B. Hayes. It is the Resolute desk which has since been used by all of the Presidents. Yesterday I recieved a book from the White House regarding all of the gifts sent to President Reagan during his 8 years in office, and on page 52 at the bottom is the description of the engra- ving that I sent with Queen Victoria on deck. In my rare book collection I have a Harper's yearly magazine of 1865 with many engravings full page and half page of the last year of President Lincoln's life. I would like to give this to President Bush and yourself for the White House collection and also visit the White House with my wife. Both of us have never been there. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. With best wishes. I am Respectfully Yours Heary Henry A. a Credette Fredette
