didn't spend much time in any one country. I did get
to see Biagil, Usuguay, argentina, Chile and Venezuala.
Bragil was beautiful. lost would have been more feen
if I had seen you. (I attended a shat Dinner and
mentioned you to all at the table.)

The Honorable Andrew Card
Deputy
White House Chief of Staff
Washington, D.C.
Dear Andy,
Having been a vocal critic of our role in ICCAT for many years, it is
my pleasure to report to you a very important turning point. I have
just returned from our annual meeting in Madrid at which we achieved
a multi-lateral management plan for swordfish with the other member
Nations with whom we share this resource. This plan will result in a
significant reduction of the pressure put upon this stock in recent
years however it will not require United States fishermen to bear this
burden alone. This is exactly the intent of our belonging to this treaty
organization in the first place.
In attaining this achievement our commissioners and the delegation
did a superb job however I would be remiss and unfair if I did not bring
to your attention the role played by the lead commissioner Carmen
Blonden. In the past as you well know Andy, I have never hesitated to
be perhaps Mr. Blondin's harshest critic. I have known Carmen Blondin
for many years and have always regarded him as the most skillful
career bureaucrat in NOAA. He is articulate and possesses a keen
intellect, all of the qualities needed including experience to bring to the
international negotiating table to reach a successful agreement.
As you know, Bill Fox sent a memo to our advisory committee
meeting suggesting our positions and what our strategy should be, in
my view and others a recipe for certain failure. Thankfully these
suggestions were rejected by the commissioners and the committee.
Although overtly everyone supports the concept of international multi-
lateral management for the fisheries resources that we share in
common with other countries, there are those both inside and outside
of our government who for their narrow selfish reasons would prefer
unilateral-lateral domestic management of these resources. I bring
this to your attention so that you will know that even within our own
delegation there were forces covertly desiring failure. Despite the
negative pressures, some from within his own department, Mr. Blondin
stood firm in his resolve to reach a successful conclusion and deserves
our recognition and thanks.
For ICCAT this represents a new course, to borrow a phrase a new
world order". One could find many similarities between what Carmen
Blonden, Lee Weddig, Mike Montgomery, and the delegation
accomplished in this treaty organization and what our Nation is trying
to accomplish in a much larger way in the United Nations. We can all
be proud!
Fondly,
Jerry Jerry Abrams

Dear Mr. Card:
Steve Studdert suggested I send the attached letter directly
to you. The letter which has been sent to Gregg Petersmeyer,
outlines a program we have developed: "Time for Troops". In
summary, the American Resort and Residential Development
Association wishes to provide literally thousands of vacations to
our active duty troops stationed in the Persian Gulf region. Our
membership wishes to convey to the President our strong support
for this nation's Middle East policy and our commitment to the
men and women who are serving America in the Persian Gulf.
I believe it would be mutually beneficial if you and I could
spend ten minutes together early next week to discuss this
important program. We believe a public announcement, and launch
of this program within the next few weeks would be very helpful
to the President (whom we have strongly endorsed).
I hope to hear from you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Thomas C. Franks

Dear Mr. Petersmeyer:
The American Resort and Residential Development Association
(ARRDA) is the national trade and professional association
representing the vacation resort, second-home and camp resort
industry. Our membership wishes to convey to the President our
strong support for this nation's Middle East policy and our
commitment to the men and women who are serving America in the
Persian Gulf.
We want to express this commitment in a tangible way.
Together with the leaders of the major developers of vacation
and camp resort property, ARRDA has brought together resources of
this industry and related sectors of the economy to provide moral
support that is both real and symbolic. My letter to you is to
offer this support to the President for the benefit of the armed
forces now stationed in the Persian Gulf.
Enclosed you will find a general statement of our proposal,
which we have designated "TIME FOR TROOPS". We propose to offer
vacations to a number of our troops for their use once they return
from combat duty, as well as to promote the active moral support
for these troops among our members, their customers, and the owners
of vacation property in America.
Our hope is to work closely with The White House and
Department of Defense, as you deem appropriate, to bring this
proposal to fruition. We believe that public support by the
President of efforts by the private sector of this type reinforces
our nation's will and determination, and encourages others to do
what they can in this time of our troops' sacrifice for us. As we
have been encouraged by the volunteer efforts of others, we hope
this will, in some small way, encourage others.
Our objectives are simple:
We want to deliver as many vacation opportunities for
our troops as possible.
o We want to develop a network of vacation owners who
give personal moral support to as many troops as
possible.
O We want to demonstrate our overall support of our
troops and their Commander in Chief, and for the
nation's policy in the Persian Gulf.
At your convenience, I would like to visit with you to discuss
the details and to explain specifically what ARRDA and its members
are prepared to do. Because we want to launch this project before
Christmas, if that is possible from your standpoint, I would hope
that we could meet just after the Thanksgiving holiday, and I will
call for an appointment.
In an informal discussion I had with Jim Pinkerton, he advised
me to write also to Bradley Mitchell, which I have done. Thank
you for your attention, and I look forward to talking to you.
Sincerely,
Thomas C. Franks

TIME FOR TROOPS
The Program: A) VACATIONS; A base of 6000 timeshare and 6000 outdoor campground
weeks, for a combined total of 12000 vacation weeks, set for a one year program beginning
January 1991. The initial vacations will be awarded by a lottery. Each month, for twelve
months, starting January 1991, 1000 vacation weeks will be awarded. The winners must
use/consume their vacations (except in bona fide hardship cases) within a one year time
period after receipt of awarded vacation.
B) ADOPT A SOLDIER; ARRDA will coordinate a mailing to the ownership
base for the industry's top fifteen resort companies. The mailing will explain the Time for
Troops program to the owners and ask them to indicate on a tear off response card their
commitment to adopt a soldier and/or to donate a vacation week of their own. These
donations would supplement the base of vacations described in paragraph "A" above.
ARRDA will have lists of troops stationed in Saudi sorted by their state of residence by the
Department of Defense. The names of the participating families will be randomly matched
up with troop names and where possible, with troops who live in the state or region where
the family's resort is located. The family will then correspond with their soldier, send gifts
to their soldier, communicate with the soldier's family, and so forth.
C) TROOP ESSAYS; The essay part of the program is to collect a grouping
of stories from the troops and to select the winner by a panel of judges. These stories will
be centered around America and how I feel." Or some other name that is appropriate
for this program. The concept is simply to gather the stories and select 100 -150 winners
who will then fly free on Continental Airlines anywhere Continental flies. Continental has
offered 100-150 FREE tickets to be used as we deem necessary. It is our hope and
intention then to make a collection of stories and place them in a book. However, the
winners will have their stories published and our task will be to place these stories around
the country. Our clear intent is to provide the soldier with other thoughts while in the Gulf.
The Providers: The base of weeks will be supplemented after the announcement of the
program by donations from developers and individual owners, and the two timeshare
exchange companies and Cost to Coast Resorts who assist in the initial week base. Such
contributions will be encouraged by mailings, and by the use of drop boxes at resorts and
by articles with detachable donation forms in publications such "Developments", RCI and
II and Coast to Coast magazines as well as in the resort newsletters.
The Winners: All winners will be chosen by random lottery, facilitated by representatives
of ARRDA and the Department of Defense. The random lottery drawing will take place
monthly. Winners will be notified through the DOD and their members of Congress,
subsequently, all necessary individuals and companies will be notified of the winners.
Transportation: At this time, we have had discussions with Continental Airlines who has
offered to provide 12000 airline tickets for a nominal fee to the traveling soldier and
his/her family. We have explored the possibility of offering 100-150 free tickets to the
winner of the submit a story theme and the winner will be able to fly anywhere that
Continental airlines flies.
The Target Date: The initial announcement will be made in December on or around the
15th but not later than Christmas. Following that date, the program is set to begin in
January and run through December 31, 1991.
The Target Forum: It is our intent to make this announcement either at the White House
or at Andrew Air Force Base. We are working on the media particulars as well as who will
actually make the announcement. Continental Airlines has agreed that they will assist us
in the public relations efforts by use of their PR firm and in-house staff, should we elect
to go with them.

Dear Andy:
Just a short note to thank you for taking time out of your schedule
to speak at the Arthritis Foundation Banquet.
Your remarks were more than timely and received very positive
response. Our only regret is that you couldn't spend the evening
with us.
As a lifelong Republican and political observer, I am a great
supporter of the President. If there is anything I or my small
troop of clients can do to help you out, please don't hesitate to
ask.
Again, thanks for your participation. I am hopeful we'll run into
one another down the road.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Andy:
We talked this fall about actions the White House should
take to hold onto or increase the 6½1/2 million voters from the
disabled population (37 million people). Below I'm suggesting
three actions that can be taken fairly quickly and easily with-
out large outlays of funds.
The jumping off place for this initiative lies in the
fact that the President in several of his talks during the
presidential campaign (and the state of the union message)
mentioned his strong conviction that disabled persons must
be mainstreamed. The result of these statements, according
to a Louis Harris poll, was that about two million disabled
voters (traditionally Democrats) switched from Dukakis to
George Bush. In spite of this strong indication that the
disabled population are an important voting block, during
the recent midterm elections Republican candidates were
silent when it came to disabled voters instead of following
the President's lead. Virginia would likely have a Republican
governor if the candidate had made the same appeals that George
Bush did.
Here are a few bullets on what should be done:
-
Most important are a few words in the state of the
union address reinforcing the President's previous
statements on his support for disabled Americans.
It would be a good idea to have a signer for the
deaf alongside the President when he delivers his
address. (Chris Winston has familiarity with the
issue).
- The RNC should be greatly more active in supporting
the goals -- which after all are truly Republican --
of the disabled people. Up until now RNC minority
outreach activity has not been extended in any serious
way to disabled voters. This is illogical because 7
times more disabled people than black people voted for
George Bush. It would be very helpful to get Bill
Bennett on board. Evan Kemp and I will need to discuss
with you how to do this.
- All "Points of Light" activity should reach out to
disabled persons, particularly youngsters. Because
they seek to be like everyone else, disabled volunteers
will inspire others while placing themselves in the
mainstream. Evan and I have plans to discuss this
initiative with Gregg Petersmeyer and other points
of light persons.
The administration and all Republicans should claim
a large degree of credit for the passage of the American
Disability Act (ADA). The White House is not receiving
the credit it deserves. It's a mistake because disability
politics cuts right across civil rights lines: for example,
22% of all blacks are disabled and a slightly smaller
percentage of Hispanic people, and more than half disabled
persons are women.
The disabled population is still making up their minds
on which party to support. The Republican philosophy
(independence, equal opportunity) parallels the philosophy
of the great majority of disabled persons. But aside from
George Bush few Republicans are making this case. Now is
a good time to begin making the case more strenuously in
preparation for 1992.
Can Evan and I visit you to discuss the points above
and longer term possibilities? I'll call Linda.
Sincerely,
Osborne Ges A. Day

FROM: Ken Smith
DATE: December 27, 1990
RE: Joe Kennedy
Andy:
I am faxing to you a letter that I received from Congressman
Joe Kennedy today. I thought that it might be important for you to
look over. It appears as if on December 21st, he sent a letter to
every member of Congress asking them to help him sponsor a binding
resolution calling on the President to exhaust economic sanctions
before American blood is spilled in the Persian Gulf.
I just thought that it was important for you to see the
material as it was given to me today. I want you to be up to speed
on what's crossing my desk.
Hope everything went well with you and your family over the
holidays. Look forward to hearing from you soon.
God bless the warriors,
Ken Smith

December 24, 1990
Dear Friends:
As the Persian Gulf crisis continues to occupy our nation's
concern, it is critical that we speak out on the direction of
United States policy.
Recently, I had an opportunity to address my Democratic
colleagues in the House of Representatives in support of a
resolution that re-affirms the President's constitutional duty to
obtain Congress's approval before waging war. Unfortunately,
that resolution was defeated by the Democratic Caucus. These
remarks were later transcribed and I am sending a copy to you for
your information.
on Friday, December 21st, I sent out a letter to every
Member of Congress asking them to join me in sponsoring a binding
resolution calling on the President to exhaust economic sanctions
before American blood is spilled in the Persian Gulf. I believe
working towards a peaceful solution and avoiding a shooting war
should be this nation's main priority.
Your participation in the ongoing debate over the Persian
Gulf is welcomed, and I urge you to stay involved as events
unfold. Please let me know if you have any comments about the
enclosed information or any questions about positions I have
offered at other times.
It is important for us to show our support for the men and
women in the Armed Forces of this nation. It is also part of our
responsibility to voice our concerns about the policies our
nation adopts to guide the action of our Armed Forces. In that
spirit, I look forward to hearing from you and working with you
in the months ahead.

STATEMENT OF REP. KENNEDY ON DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
POLICY STATEMENT REGARDING THE PERSIAN GULF
DECEMBER 4, 1990
Forty-five thousand body bags. That is how many body bags
are on order for our troops in the Middle East. There can be no
more stark fact to bring to light to the members of this Caucus
or to the American people as to what is at stake in this debate.
This debate is not about politics, it is about what is right
and what is wrong. It is about our Constitution. It is not
about what is good for us as Members of Congress. It is not even
about what is good for the Congress. It is about what is good
for the country.
President Bush has told the American people that the purpose
of our mission in the Middle East is to stop aggression. He says
it is to stop a nuclear threat. He says it is to protect the
free flow of oil. He says it is to help our Kuwaiti allies.
We stopped aggression by the defensive forces that we had in
the region prior to November 8th. The Israelis demonstrated to
the world how to stop the nuclear threat against Iraq years ago.
Not with 400,000 troops, but with a targeted strike.
They say that we are there to protect the free flow of oil,
I spent 10 years in the oil business before I came to the
Congress. Make no mistake about it, we do not need to invade
Iraq to defend the free flow of oil to this country. There is
plenty of oil on this planet to keep our engines going. There is
plenty of oil to keep us warm in the winter. There is plenty of
oil, wasted oil, in this country, that every person in this
chamber can do something about through energy conservation. I
started the two largest energy conservation companies in this
country.

Congress of the United States

December 21, 1990
Dear Colleague:
I am writing to invite you to be an original co-sponsor of a
resolution calling on the President to exhaust economic sanctions
before opting to wage war against Iraq.
All Americans are outraged by Iraq's brutal occupation of
Kuwait. We support the President's firm resolve to end it,
particularly by leading the effort to implement and enforce
comprehensive economic sanctions. Virtually all analysts agree
that the sanctions have successfully closed Iraq's economic
lifelines to the outside world. One recent report on National
Public Radio stated that Iraqi imports and exports have both been
reduced by more than 90 percent.
However, recent Administration actions indicate that the
President is preparing to forsake sanctions in favor of a massive
offensive military action against Saddam Hussein and his soldiers
The decision to double ground forces in Saudi Arabia, to refrain
from rotating troops and to obtain the consent of the United
Nations security Council for offensive action are all signals
that U.S. forces are being placed on an offensive was footing.
The wisdom of these actions has been sharply questioned by
many of us in the Congress, as well as by no less than seven
former Secretaries of Defense, two former heads of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, and one former Secretary of the Navy. These
individuals -- and millions of Americans -- share the view that
the sanctions will effectively dislodge Saddam Hussein from
Kuwait if given a reasonable amount of time to work. Four months
is far too short a period; 12 or more months is. They urge
patience, and warn that a shooting war could cause the needless
loss of American lives, dollars and prestige, not to mention
political and economic stability in the Gulf region.

If you have to go home and tell your constituents that their
sons and daughters died because we were unwilling to provide for
an energy conservation policy in this country then you will feel
the tears of their parents.
Then they tell us about our allies --- our allies in Kuwait,
our allies in saudi Arabia. our allies held up this country in
1973, held us up again in 1979, and would do it again in 1990 if
they thought it was in their own economic interest.
There is a lot of machismo that goes around in America today
saying that we are going to get behind George Bush, we are going
to sake this country strong again, and we are going to stand up.
We have been through the Vietnam War, we've been through the
Mayaguez, then Grenada, then Panama, and now is the time to take
on the Iraqis.
Well, you tell that machismo what it's like to ... a son or
a brother or a father come back in a body bag. That's what this
debate is about.
Dick Durbin has an important resolution before the Caucus.
I disagree that we should postpone the debate until the first or
second week in January. This is a debate that should be before
the American people today, and the Congress and the Democratic
Caucus ought to be willing to take a stand, to put it before the
American people today.
Sure, it will cost you a few votes. sure, they will tell us
that the Democratic Congress is laying down again. But the fact
is, that's all the up side. I think Secretary Baker has done a
great job with the U.N., but it is unrealistic to think that
George Bush can send him over to neet with saddam Hussein to
demand that he pull back his troops and eliminate his nuclear
weapon capabilities.
what we are looking at is war, and if we don't debate these
issues before the guns are fired, we will be debating them after
the guns are fired. At that time the debate will be a lot more
divisive, and if you think it's going to be easier to cose back
here the first week in January and stand up to a President and to
Saddam Hussein, I think you're wrong --- it's better to have that
debate early. I think that if the Congress and those of us that
believe that this is a mistake in terms of an aggressive posture
towards the Iraqis at this time are going to be overruled, so be
it. And, those of us such as General Schwarzkopf and Admiral

But if the American people and the Congress are not behind
it, and don't believe that it is in our national interest that we
pursue these policies by waging war, then give the sanctions a
chance to work. Let's have this vote now, and I urge you, my
Democratic colleagues, to not only have this vote, but to call
this Congress to come back into session, and to have the full
debate on these issues that the American people need and demand.

The growth rate of 1.47 percent per

But the census also reported sharp dif-

Government to impose tougher family

For Han Chinese, the ethnic majority
accounting for 92 percent of the popula-

Dear Andy,
Thank you for meeting with Mike, Bayard and me. I have followed up
with a letter to the President, as you suggested, asking him to speak at
our kick-off dinner sometime in March or April. I will also be speaking
with Greg Petersmyer about the Points of Light Program.
The problem of urban blight, drugs and violence must be addressed
in a systematic way which gets government out of it and allows the
creative and productive capabilities of people to flourish and address
their own community needs. EXCEL is the only comprehensive program which
systematically addresses the values and attitudes which produce inner
city problems. If the violence continues, these problems will loom very
large in 1992.
We do not want federal funds, but we do need the full support of the
White House to make this approach a national model of community indepen-
dence as opposed to government dependence.
In behalf of Mike and Bayard, thank you again for hearing us out on
this matter and for your cooperation.
Sincerely yours,
Pastor

Dear Mr. President:
I recently had the pleasure of meeting with Mr. John Sununu and Mr. Andy Card at
The White House. The meeting was arranged by Mr. Michael Valerio, Chairman of the
Board of Papa Gino's of America, and we were joined by Mr. Bayard Waring, Managing
Trustee of the Amelia Peabody Foundation.
We were there to present a program which I have developed called "EXCEL", the
EXODUS Center for Enhancing Life, Inc. EXCEL is a project dedicated to addressing
urban problems by focusing on the values of inner city youth. If we can inculcate
the right values in young people before they become involved in gangs, drugs, violence,
teen pregnancy, etc., we can break the cycle of government dependency and create pro-
ductive self-sufficient human beings. These persons can in turn transform their own
communities. EXCEL is a program designed to teach youngsters and motivated adults
how to excel! EXCEL is not seeking any kind of government funding. However, it would
be extremely helpful to have Presidential backing as we reach out to the community and
business people for support, financial and otherwise.
We are writing to respectfully request the honor of your presence at our EXCEL
kick-off dinner sometime between March 19 and April 19, 1991. Our preference is any
Tuesday, Thursday or Friday evening. However, we will plan the event around the
President's schedule if you will be in Boston during that period. While we would be
disappointed if the President were unable to speak for us, we would certainly accept
the Vice President or another appropriate surrogate.
Attached is an outline of EXCEL's model for addressing the problems of urban
communities and the diverse group of people who are supporting it. Thank you for
your consideration, and we look forward to hearing from you.
Respectfully yours,
Rev. E. W. Jackson Sr.

Dear Andy:
Our new Chairman, George Fisher, CEO of Motorola, and
other senior members of the Council have written a letter to
the President urging him to make American technological
preeminence a national priority. The letter is enclosed.
I was not sure what were the best steps to bring the
letter to the President's attention. But working on the
assumption that all paper and proposals flow through the
Governor, I thought I might prevail on you to get the letter
on its way.
Thank you again for the lovely letter from the
President to John Young and the Council. It was very much
appreciated.
Best for the holidays.

The Honorable George Bush
President of the United States
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. President:
We recognize that you are in the midst of a pressing
international responsibility that will have a major impact on
America's and the world's future. We are writing about another
issue -- U.S. technological strength -- that helps create the
resources that are critical to our standard of living at home and
our international leadership abroad.
Mr. President, we have reached the conclusion that although
the United States retains a lead in science, it has lost or is
losing a large part of the technology base that is of vital
importance to industry. For the past year, the Council on
Competitiveness has worked with top R&D executives around the
country to conduct an in-depth, original self-assessment of nine
technology intensive sectors of the U.S. economy as part of its
"Technology Priorities Project." As a result of this assessment,
we are convinced that America has growing technological
weaknesses that threaten its economic performance and national
security.
Mr. President, we believe that in order to assure U.S.
technological leadership, we need a new national priority to
drive critical generic technologies that meet the real world
needs of American industry. Only you can set such a priority.
We offer the following thought for your State of the Union
message:
To meet our commitments at home and our responsibilities
abroad, the United States must regain leadership where we have
faltered and sustain it where we continue to lead in the critical
technologies driving economic performance and productivity. As
President, I am establishing a national priority to meet that challenge.
Because technology is essential to competitiveness, it
should be a priority focus of U.S. domestic policy. There are
too many economic warning signs to think otherwise. With an
economy that is just over half the size of ours, Japan out-

invested America by $36 billion in plant and equipment last year.
While U.S. non-defense R&D has been flat at just under 2 percent
of GNP for the past decade, Germany's has increased to 2.6
percent and Japan's has surged to almost 3 percent. And U.S.
productivity growth, which is largely based on our ability to
develop and apply technology, has not kept pace with the rapid
improvements of other industrial nations during the past fifteen
years. These trends, including the high cost of capital, are
behind the weakness in U.S. income growth and the loss of entire
U.S. industries to foreign competitors. They threaten not only
American jobs, but also our standard of living.
Making technological strength a national priority does not
mean that it is up to government to solve the problem. The
private sector must work with you as a committed partner to match
and surpass the best technology commercialization practices of
our foreign competitors and to create a national information
network of critical technologies and commercialization practices.
Public policy must reinforce these efforts by increasing
investment in the research, education, facilities and equipment
that constitute the nation's technology infrastructure, by
stimulating private sector investment in technology, and by
continuing its efforts to end unfair trade practices by our
trading partners that undermine America's technology advances.
Your Administration has already taken some steps in these
areas. OSTP's new report on U.S. Technology Policy, in
particular, makes a major contribution by recognizing that we
have a national technology policy and by laying the foundation
for a constructive dialogue between the public and private
sectors on this issue. We encourage you to build on this and
other Administration technology initiatives to send a clear
signal to the country about the pressing need to strengthen U.S.
technological competitiveness. We believe that this makes not
only good economic sense, but also good political sense.
The Council on Competitiveness, its members and many other
private sector organizations are ready to respond to your
leadership. Once we have concluded our "Technology Priorities
Project," we would very much like to meet with you personally to
discuss our findings and recommendations. In the interim, we
would be happy to provide any assistance that we can to your
staff.

WHITE HOUSE INTERNSHIP INFORMATION
The White House has a number of departments which provide
internship opportunities year-round to students who wish to learn
more about the Executive Branch of the United States Government.
In the White House interns perform a broad range of office
support functions. Opportunities are given to students to
explore some of Washington's attractions as well as attending
selected White House functions. Because of President Bush's
strong commitment to community service, students will also be
encouraged to participate in group volunteer projects throughout
their internship.
Our departmental requirements for interns are as follows:
Must be at least 18 years of age.
Must be able to serve for a 90 day period.
Strongly prefer availability to be full-time (40
hours per week).
Must be an American citizen.
Prefer applicants be registered to vote and have
voted in the last election for which they were
eligible.
The following is a list of the departments that accept interns
and a brief description of their mission:

functions: (1) to assure that the various communities, interests,
and individuals in the country have the opportunity to present
their policy concerns and recommendations to the White House and
have them integrated into the policy making process; (2) to build

Please Note: Interns at the White House are not financially
compensated for their work. All expenses incurred are the sole
responsibility of the student. Some students choose to do their
internship for college credit. The White House does encourage
this; however our program cannot be regulated around each
student's individual academic requirements.

Dear Mr. Card,
My name is Patrick K. Faherty and I am currently a senior
at NorthQuincy High School in Quincy Massachusetts.
A few months back for the first time in my life I attended
the Massachusetts R epublican Party State Convention in
Boston. It was the night before that when I met you,
while I was working for then gubðrnatorial candidate
Steven Pierce in his quest for the governership.
For a great many years my interest in politics has
heightened to the point where I even attended Massachusetts
Boys State sponsored by the American Legion. I was
at that point elected by my peers to represent them
at Boys Nation held in Washington D.C. After seeing
and experiencing Washington D.C. I soon realized that that
was where I wanted to attend college and experience
American Politics firsthand. Currently I am applying
to Georgetown University where I hope to-major in political
science or government. Due to the fact thatI am
interested in politics and enjoy being a member of the
North Quincy High School Young Republican Club it would
be a dream come true for me to experience a whole summer
in Washington D.C. close to the seat of a government
and political spectrum I truly aspire to learn more
about. The reason I write you Mr. Card ) is that I am
interested in-obtaining a White House internship for the
summer. I have no political connections or insiders to
help me along this route, allI have is a deep desire
to learn more about the Executive Branch of government,
and our political system and government in general through
work at The White House. Intrigued by the Republican Party,
and idealogically in line with what it stands for I find this to be a
once in a lifetime opportunity to learn and mature as a
future political science major and young citizen of this
great nation of ours. I would ask you to please contact
me about the possibility of being an intern in The White House
and the chance of a lifetime, as well as an important goal
in my life thus far. Thank you very much for your time
Mr. Card as well as inspiration "local boys" like yourself
have given me.
Respectfully,

Andy--
12/19
I called today to check whether you were aware of any
particular interest, there, in the outcome of the DPC work on
medical malpractice? You may or may not know that the DPC will
recommend that the President withhold limited amounts of federal
medicare/medicaid payments as leverage on the states to enact
malpractice reform. My question arises because the Secretary is
absolutely opposed to it, but does not wish to run against some
larger interests without checking first. As I understand it, the
DPC is to close on the issue on the 19th.
While I have your attention, you will remember our
conversation on Friday to come to closure on the "Healy" package
today. As I have not heard from Chase, I assume events have
overtaken this time line.
If there is no decision as yet, I would like to offer a
further compelling justification for our candidate. We well
understand and share the concern held by outside groups and some
within the White House about the lack of sophisticated and
effective political decision making at the Public Health Service.
The idea is to put someone in the job that can assure effective
analysis and appropriate outcomes. The candidate being proposed,
as a practical matter, will not be able to have such an impact.
Not only does she lack any experience in public policy, more
importantly she would not have the confidence of her boss. She
would most likely have the position in title only, with no
capacity to affect outcomes.
Our candidate, on the other hand would come with the
confidence of his boss and his boss's boss, and would, therefore,
actually be permitted to perform the function of the position.
Moreover, he well understands the role he would be expected to
play and, thus, through the close relationship he has with us, the
level and direction of policy analysis desired by everyone would
be assured.
I look forward to hearing from Chase. Please let me
know about the malpractice matter.

Dear Andy:
It was very reassuring to receive your call last week.
Of course, I was a little disappointed, but I think Lynn Martin
will serve the President very well as Secretary of Labor.
I am enclosing some clips from our local newspapers.
They have high hopes that I, too, will be able to serve the
President in a meaningful capacity. Incidentally, I have
avoided commenting to anyone about any of this.
I will be leaving Oregon for Honolulu tomorrow, Thursday,
and can be reached there at: 808/737-4016.
I know I can count on you to do the best you can on my
behalf. I plan to return to Washington in January, but hope
to hear from you as soon as possible with encouraging news.
I hope you'll stay in touch. Merry Christmas!
