Honorable Governor John Sununu
Chief of Staff
DERWOOD, MD 20855
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
Hon. Gov. Sununu:
Without any desire to divert the administration's attention from
its management of the Middle East crisis (which management I
applaud), I would like to call your personal attention to the
attached recommendation of Dr. E. W. (Ted) Webster for a
Presidential appointment to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I
believe that you will remember the distinguished Dr. Webster by
his service in Massachusetts, as well as in Washington.
To me, the appointment of Dr. Webster would indeed be related in
an important way to the events of the Middle East. With the
kinds of technical judgements required by an NRC Commissioner, it
is important to have Commissioners who have an understanding in
depth not only of the physical, but also of the biological,
aspects of safe regulation of nuclear energy and its important
byproducts used in research and medicine. The safe, but
reasonable, regulation of nuclear energy and its byproducts is
important in re-establishing safe nuclear energy as an option to
avoid not only dependence on oil, but also to eventually reduce
the burning of fossile fuels that contaminate the environment and
endanger our planet. It is also important to our children and
future generations that we conserve fossile materials for their
future value in producing chemicals of importance in medicine and
industry.
Dr. Webster has the ideal background of knowledge and
understanding for making the right decisions about nuclear energy
and byproducts, and for helping the administration and the public
put biological risks from human activities in proper perspective.
Please let me know if I can provide any further information or
assistance in behalf of Dr. Webster's nomination.
Sincerely,
allen Brodyky

Dear Governor Sununu:
We had the pleasure of having dinner together several months ago
in St. Louis and you will recall the discussion we had concerning
the baking industry's need for uniform labeling reform. I very
much enjoyed our dinner and hope that you will continue to call
on Ralston Purina/Continental Baking Company to work with the
Administration in reaching its goals.
S
Additionally, our national trade association, the American Bakers
Association, has Lmal invited President Bush to address its annual
convention in Washington on Tuesday, October 9, 1990. It would
be a great opportunity for a traditional industry such as ours
to hear from the DOE President. We would appreciate any favorable
consideration you can give to this request.
Again, it was a pleasure meeting with you and commend the
Administration for the leadership that is being provided to
this country

REB
August 20, 1990
Mr. John H. Sununu
Chief of Staff to the
President
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. Sununu:
It would be presumptuous of me to assume that after breathing Montana
air for three weeks I have a clear perspective of fast moving world
events.
However, it appears, now that we have entered the fray, we must
accomplish the ultimate objective as swiftly as it is deemed we
have sufficient aircraft presence commensurate with adequate land
force deployment. We must destroy Hussein and his regime. The
risks of doing so cuts both ways. Failure to do SQ cuts even deeper.
If this objective is to be met, unlike the advice of so many experts,
I believe time is not our ally. Whatever advantage we gain through
a united but time consuming blockade will ultimately fade in the desert
sun. Whatever fragile alliance President Bush has remarkably
achieved will soon die of desert thirst. Our own media will, in
time, become an additional burden now that we face another hostage
ordeal. Granted, our nation's right to act in pursuit of its
legitimate interests should not become hostage to hostage taking
but it will and probably already has.
Though initially we came as defenders, in time, our presence will
be likened to that of an unwanted conqueror. Incongruous as it may
be, Saudi Arabia is now de facto our 51st state.
We must not indulge Hussein beyond our assured ability to take him
out from above. As with Hitler, we have dire historical precedence
of the consequences of appeasement. Furthermore, Hussein has given
the world sufficient moral and legal provocation and basis. We
wait at our peril, not only because the odds favor our becoming
enmeshed in his spreading web of propaganda, deceit and cunning,
but also because the likelihood increases that we cannot avoid
being scorched by the searing cross winds of desert politics Mideast
style.
I have listened to the news reports, interviews and advice of our
array of expert guests. By and large, they come across as left
brain thinkers. I hope the Administration will take a chapter
Sununu
from TAO and go with the fluid thinking of whole brain advisors.
Analytical overload far too often leads to paralysis.
A peripheral benefit can also be the forging of a rational long
term fiscal policy. If President Bush will hang tough in this area
as well, he would have the backing and blessings of the American
people. He sounded that way at last week's press conference.
Past this ordeal will come a whole new set of thorny issues and
problems, least of which will be the due bill from our Middle East
supporters who no doubt will renew their arguing that we disavow
our support for Israel. But that is for another day and time.
Sincerely

Dear Governor:
I am writing on behalf of Rev. Randall A. Terry, past President of
Operation Rescue. It is my understanding that the federal government is
trying to collect a $50,000 fine from him on behalf of the National
Organization for Women. May I ask that you request the President and
the Attorney General that they not seize their dwindling assets or
attempt to close their office. The federal government should not be
doing that type of work on behalf of anyone, especially the radical
organization N.O.W.
A's a supporter of the Republican Party for all of my life and one
who has appreciated the principles on which our great Nation has been
founded, I would hope that we would begin to see a change in the
perspective and influence of the politicians in Washington, D.C. Please
understand that my desire is to see our Country continue in the great
tradition that has been established in the past. I am not seeking to be
confrontational in any way, but only to ask for some assistance for this
wonderful man of God and his family.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Pennsylvania Thoracic Society
August 15, 1990
The Honorable John H. Sununu
Chief of Staff
Executive Office of the President
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Honorable Sununu:
The membership of the Pennsylvania Thoracic Society strongly urges you to oppose any
deficit reduction plan that would force pharmacists to switch Medicaid patients to different
drugs than those prescribed by their physicians, or which is otherwise based on the
erroneous premise that chemically different pharmaceutical products can be used
interchangeably.
Our concerns are prompted by the Office of Management and Budget plan, presented to
the budget "summit" on June 20, that would attempt to save money in Medicaid through the
practice of "therapeutic substitution"--the switching of a patient's prescription to a different
chemical from the one prescribed, without the knowledge or consent of the patient's
physician.
Acknowledging the danger of this practice, the OMB proposal would actually hold
pharmacists harmless for patient injury or death caused by a drug switch.
Distinct pharmaceutical products, even though they may belong to the same therapeutic
class, are not routinely interchangeable. Rather, such drugs are chemically different and are
not equally safe and effective for each patient.
We refer you to the recent position statement on "Therapeutic Substitution and Formulary
Systems" published by the American College of Physicians (Annals of Internal Medicine,
Volume 113, Number 2, pp 160-163, 15 July 1990). In summary, the statement concludes:
1.
Therapeutic substitution is more complex than generic
substitution. Whereas drugs in a therapeutic class share similar
pharmacologic and therapeutic properties, their differences are

manifest when administered across a wide range of patients
with differing physiologic and pathophysiologic status. These
differences may involve the mode and extent of action, adverse
effects, and potential interactions with other drugs.
2.
Determinations of therapeutic equivalence often depend on
clinical studies that are of limited size and thus fail to pick up
idiosyncratic drug reactions, that underrepresent certain racial
or age groups, or that exclude patients with underlying
conditions that make them more prone to adverse reactions.
Therapeutic ineffectiveness and adverse effects among the
elderly are numerous.
3.
Therapeutic substitution is appropriate only in hospitals with an
effectively functioning formulary system and Pharmacy and
Therapeutics Committee. Physicians should recognize that on
many occasions and in some institutions, therapeutic
alternatives should not be used. The key determinants
regarding the appropriateness of therapeutic substitution is the
effectiveness of the formulary system and the Pharmacy and

4.
Therapeutic substitution jeopardizes patient management when
immediate prior consent is not obtained from the authorized
prescriber and when documentation of substitutions is untimely
or improper. Such practices must not be permitted. Physicians
are ultimately responsible for the consequences of patient
treatment. This necessitates immediate prior authorization
from the prescribing physician before the administration of a
therapeutic alternate.
5.
The practice of therapeutic substitution may be acceptable in
ambulatory settings that meet standards comparable to those of
institutional settings. The challenges associated with

therapeutic substitution and the limited mechanisms to monitor
its practice and effects when done outside the institutional
setting make its practice unsafe in most ambulatory settings.
Presently, Illinois and Wisconsin explicitly prohibit therapeutic
substitution outside of acute care settings. Other states vary in
their restrictions on therapeutic substitution in nonacute care
settings. The finding that immediate prior notification of
therapeutic substitutions is not provided to physicians in most
instances is disturbing.

Hi John Sununu:
I respect your fast rise in the Republican Party. Don't
forget the Japs are morons, fast in all directions.
We need a crew, the same as the F.B.I. or the C.I.A. We
will call them WLAO, World Lookers And Overseers that the U.S.
stays ahead of all countries in the field of manufacturing of
every kind and education, or suddenly we will find ourselves left
out. Ne are too nice of a country to everyone. We must protect
the U.S.A. first, we will be the lowest unless we start now.
You are the guy that can form this WLAO. I have been all
over the world and the U.S. dollar everyone wants because it
holds it's value. There is not one country that does not have
our U.S. dollar.
I have been all over South America, the dollar is King and
we must keep it that way, the same as you did for New Hampshire.
Our weakest area is every country has borrowed from us,
hammered on us and we just keep turning our checks for more. My
respect goes out to all the great men who brought us this far and
we must continue to be the world leader.
Should our money be called for new money this would cause a
world catastrophe that we don't need. I have seen dollars in the most
remote corners of the world, I still believe we can be the leaders
WLAO, they must be a group of the most intelligent and persuasive
men. I know you can do it John.
Sincerely

The Honorable John Sununu
Chief of Staff to the President
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Governor Sununu,
I understand that the Administration may propose raising $4 billion
in revenue by imposing a "royalty fee" for the use of the broadcast
spectrum that would equal 4% of the gross revenue of this station and
every other radio station in this country.
I want to express WMAL's strong objections to this tax proposal. Four
percent of this station's gross revenue is a significant amount and
would be imposed on us at a time when local stations are facing a stagnant
advertising market. Economic projections do not suggest that this market
will improve in the near future, and, as you know, advertising is our
sole source of revenue.
Radio stations provide news and public service programming to communities
throughout this nation in exchange for govenment licenses to use the
airwaves. We will continue to live up to these responsibilities to
serve our local community, but we must voice our strong objections to
a tax that singles out our industry with such Draconian results.
I urge you to oppose this spectrum tax and to communicate that opposition
to the Admininstration and to all those involved in the budget
negotiations. I look forward to hearing from you regarding this subject
of concern for WMAL.
Sincerely,
ComBund

U.S. CONGRESS
August 7, 1990
Chief of Staff John H. Sununu
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Governor Sununu:
I am writing to ask for your assistance in fighting an
uphill battle. It is a battle of perception and unhappily
a battle that is placing my campaign for U.S. Congress at
risk.
As you may be aware, I became the Republican nominee for
Congress by defeating the incumbent, Buz Lukens, and the
former congressman, Tom Kindness, in a hard fought
primary. The primary campaign left me with a debt of more
than $155,000.
After the primary election, I received many
congratulations and many assurances that the 8th
Congressional District of Ohio was a safe Republican seat
and a November victory would come easily, even though this
was now an open seat.
However, no one gave my Democrat opponent that news.
The state and local Democrat organizations see their first
opportunity in a number of years to claim the 8th District
seat and are going all out to provide my opponent with
support.
Additionally, my opponent has a very well known and well
liked relative who happens to be a popular television
actor on the NBC series "Cheers". Already this relative
has arranged for thousands of Hollywood dollars to be
given to my opponent's campaign. Recently, he also
completed a one week tour of the district, raising money
and earning media for my opponent.
The potential for more Hollywood money coupled with the
strong support my opponent is receiving from labor
organizations is very bothersome to me.
Which brings me to our perception problem.
The perception is out there that my race is over and that
I don't need help to win in November. There has been no

visible support for my campaign from the national party
organization which tends to lead people to believe that my
race is "safe" and thus not important.
I am asking for your help because this race is far from
over. I, better than most, know what it is like to be the
underdog in a race that is judged to be over. Two weeks
before my primary, polling showed me more than twenty
points down to Tom Kindness. But my staff and I knew that
if we outworked Mr. Kindness, we could win. I judge that
my opponent is thinking the same thoughts now regarding
this race.
I am hopeful that your schedule will allow you to travel
to the Eighth District of Ohio to assist me with my
campaign. Whether it is a brief press conference
announcing your support, being the honored guest at a
fundraiser or even spending an entire day on the campaign
trail, appreciated. your help is greatly needed and would be greatly
It is vital to the success of my campaign to have your
assistance. Your support would send a strong signal
throughout my district that this is indeed a very
important race.
Again, I hope you will consider assisting me in my
campaign. I have enclosed a small packet of information
regarding my race and the district.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
John John A. Boehner

Dear John:
On September 14, 1990 I am hosting a meeting of the
James Madison National Council of the Library of Congress. The
Council is a small group of members of the private sector, CEO's
and philanthropists, who have offered their expertise and
financial support to the Library. The Council is an extremely
important component of our plan to serve the nation by making the
tremendous resources of this Library more accessible to its
citizens.
We would be most honored if you could join us for
lunch or dinner on that day, and if you could speak informally for
a few minutes. Your presence would mean a great deal to the
Library, and, of course, to me personally, and I hope that your
very busy schedule will allow you to join us.
With best personal regards,
& Sincerely,
James H. Billington
The Librarian of Congress

Re: "Nationalistic" Philosophy of Newly
Proposed Apprenticeship Rules and Regulations
29 CFR 29
Dear "Governor" Sununu:
Please permit a brief expression of concern about the most recent
draft of proposed new rules and regulations promulgated by the Bureau of
Apprenticeship and Training of the U.S. Department of Labor. Of paramount
concern to the states is the newly asserted monolithic concept for a
national apprenticeship program that preempts state laws, standards, and
rules. The legal basis for the assertive preemptive character of these
proposed rules and regulations is a real puzzle.
The perplexing aspect of this scenario has been the apparent
inconsistency between the nationalistic philosophy of these proposals and
the frequently enunciated commitment to a policy of "new federalism" by the
President and other leaders of this administration. Perhaps this document
deserves a renewed and more careful review by the Office of Management and
Budget and your staff. I should appreciate your giving your personal.
attention to this development. Please help!
Sincerely yours,
John C. Brooks

in the United States and Western Europe and invite them to join with us
February 5-6 ... and even more significantly, to present the proposals and
counterproposals they consider most urgent within the spectrum of trade,
investment, and economic policies.
Toward this end, I will be leading a selective task force across "Corporate
Europe" and "Corporate America" to invite corprate executives to present their
proposals what they most encourage and most oppose in political-economic-
business policies impacting their corporations, and therefore, the strength of
the economic alliance.
On February 5-6, in our sessions with corporate leaders, you will have the
opportunity not just to hear their insights but state your own convictions
regarding policy directions.
In parallel to extending this invitation to you, I am also writing your counter-
parts at the Cabinet level within the Administration who share responsibilities
with you on international economic and national security policies, plus the
following Congressional leaders who are already Members of the Atlantic Corpo-
rate Committee's "Congressional Partnership Committee" and therefore committed
to this government-business initiative:
Hon. Lloyd Bentsen
Hon. Sam M. Gibbons
Hon. Doug Bereuter
Hon. Benjamin A. Gilman
Hon. Bill Bradley
Hon. William H. Gray III
Hon. William S. Broomfield
Hon. Frank J. Guarini
Hon. William F. Clinger, Jr.
Hon. Lee H. Hamilton
Hon. J. James Exon
Hon. John J. LaFalce
Hon. Bill Frenzel
Hon. Toby Roth
Hon. Jake Garn
Hon. William V. Roth, Jr.
Hon. Sam Gejdenson
Hon. Charles W. Stenholm
We also want you to know that we are working with a number of your Department's
senior representatives at the sub-Cabinet level, but we believe it is important
to our joint mission and would be mutually beneficial to involve you very selec-
tively on February 5 or 6.
With all best wishes.

Dear Governor Sununu:
On Sunday, September 9th, we will celebrate the reopening of Ellis Island
with dedication services of the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. We
are delighted that President and Mrs. Bush will lead our ceremonies.
While the official ceremonies will take place on Sunday, the Foundation
is sponsoring a preview benefit on Saturday evening, September 8th, at
Ellis Island.
As you may know, all of the $345 million needed to restore both the Statue
of Liberty and Ellis Island was raised by groups and individuals from all
segments of the American society. Many of these individuals will attend
our Saturday night event.
We would be pleased if you and Mrs. Sununu could be our guests for our
gala preview and then, of course, join the festivities with President and
Mrs. Bush the next day.
I am enclosing an invitation and am hopeful that you can join us.
Sincerely,
Stephen A. Briganti

Dear Chief of Staff Sununu,
As a citizen of New Hampshire and taxpayer of the United States I
am looking for your help.
In November of 1988 we hosted a recruiting conference for the U.S.
Army Recruiting Battalion Brunswick. The conference went as
planned, the hotel provided our end of the agreement and the final
amount of the bill was approved for submission of payment to the
Army by the officer in charge of the conference. As of this date
we still have not received payment.
Through my own investigations and pursuit of payment (I have not
received one formal piece of information from the Army explaining
the delay) I was informed that the bill has been held up because of
an error that was made by the Army. The officer in charge of
planning the conference did not follow necessary procedures in
obtaining a contract.
The Fox Ridge Resort has been denied payment of $32,264.82 for
eighteen months through no fault of ours. I have asked for the aid
of Senator Rudman and he has been helpful by writing to the Army Is
there anything that can be done by yourself to speed up this
process? This money is significant to our survival in today's
difficult times.
Enclosed are copies of all correspondence that I have sent to
Senator Rudman explaining my efforts in detail for collection and
his replies.
Thank you,
Craig Boyer
Assistant Manager

Dear Governor Sununu,
I am pleased to follow up on an invitation extended to you
by the Morris County Republican Committee in New Jersey to be
the keynote speaker at their Annual Champagne Brunch on Sunday,
October 28, 1990 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Morris County voters gave George Bush the largest
plurality in the state in 1988. I was very honored to serve as
co-chair of the Bush/Quayle '88 campaign in New Jersey. In that
capacity, and as a member of the Fund for American's Future, I
traveled to South Carolina, Cincinnati and New Hampshire during
the primary.
I joined Assemblywoman Nancy Tarpley in campaign
activities in Amherst and had the pleasure of speaking with you
at the pre-primary rally.
As the highest ranking Republican elected woman in New
Jersey to support the President I wish to encourage your
attendance on October 28th. Morris County is eager to welcome
you to the #1 Republican county in New Jersey.
Sincerely,
Leanna Brown

Re: Appointment of David Souter as Supreme Court Justice
Dear John:
The last time we spoke, you accused me of being a "flaming
liberal." While I do not think that that description is
accurate, I am a Democrat, which may be the equivalent in some
people's opinion! You know from my support of Linda Bisson's
appointment that I support people regardless of political views
if they are the right person for the right job.
In any event, I have approved of the choice of David Souter
as the next Supreme Court Justice. I have tried one case in
front of David Souter in his short service as a trial judge. I
have argued quite a number of cases in front of him in the New
Hampshire Supreme Court. I think he has a brilliant mind and is
a person of high integrity.
If I can assist in the getting him approved in any way
whatsoever, including speaking at the Souter confirmation
hearings, please let me know.
Very truly yours,
Kennith is Bouchard ce

Dear Governor Sununu:
Honorable Bill Thomas,

I need your help in California. Because of my strong pro-life
Congressman Ron Packard
Buzz Aldrin
beliefs, my being elected to the office of Lieutenant Governor
Dean Andal
Dick Allen
is of significant importance to Republicans not only in
Hon. Robert Badham
California, but across the country. It is important now, and
AI Baldwin
John W. Ballard
it will be important in 1992.
Dr. Arnold O: Beckman

Ken Calvert
During the Primary, reporters dismissed my chances for winning
Scott Carey
Kenneth R. Carpenter
because I am a pro-life supporter. I won that Primary 55% to
Willard Z. Carr, Jr.
45% over a much better financed pro-choice opponent. With your
Edward M. Carson
Athalie Clarke
help I believe we can end the argument that standing up for
John & Donna Crean
John J. Cronin
pro-life does not mean defeat on election day.
William M. Crosby

The talk is that many pro-life supporters will sit out the

election this year. I have a strong following among these

in the November election.

Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Governor Sununu:
As the "budget summit" continues, the National Tax Limitation Committee
wants to be sure that the position of the American taxpayer remains as
a priority consideration.
To that end, NTLC has prepared a Telepost message to the President which
articulates that position. This Telepost is signed by our President,
Lewis K. Uhler, and hundreds of individual taxpayers from across America.
Their message is representative of NTLC supporters numbering in the
hundreds of thousands.
We would like very much to present the NTLC Telepost to you personally
at the White House, and to have a photo of the presentation to be
featured in our Tax Watch. The photo would not be distributed to the
press, unless you choose to do so through the White House Press Office.
While the photographic result of the presentation is extremely important
to our supporters, it would seem equally advantageous to the Administration
as concrete proof of the President's continued concern for the Nation's
taxpayers.
As you know, many groups and individuals, inspired by the media, have
loudly criticized the President for his open consideration of new
revenues in the budget negotiations. NTLC has not, although we have
been urged to do SO.
While we remain opposed to new taxes as advocated by the Democratic
Leadership in Congress, we also remain supportive of and confident in
the President's commitment to achieve real cuts in the growth of
spending and true reform of the budget process.
The brief presentation we are requesting, scheduled at your earliest
convenience, will provide additional symbolic evidence of this
Administration's continued regard for the taxpayers who support the
President. We would be most appreciative of your cooperation to
facilitate it.
Sincerely,
ae Cors,Je Jr.

STEEL
The Hon. John H. Sununu
Chief of Staff to the President
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. Sununu:
Enclosed for your review and retention is a copy of
Bethlehem's Report for Second Quarter 1990. Bethlehem's reported
net income of $22 million for the Second Quarter and $43 million
for the First Half was 74% lower than our net income for Second
Quarter 1989 and 71% lower than First Half 1989. The decline in
net income results from lower steel shipments and prices and from
higher operating costs principally due to planned outages at our
Sparrows Point, Maryland plant. Bethlehem continues to be a
company in transition and certain sections of the Report are
marked to indicate areas of progress and concern.
1. Lower Shipments.
Steel shipments were approximately 13% and 16% lower
in the second quarter and first half of 1990 than in the year
earlier periods, and our raw steel production declined to 65% and
67% of capacity from 81% and 82% last year, mainly due to the
planned outages.
2. Competitive Pressures.
Severe market and competitive pressures continue to
affect our (a) Rail Products and Pipe Division, (b) Bar, Rod and
Wire Division and (c) Structural Products Division.
- 2 -
Higher Costs.
Production costs at steelmaking operations were
reflecting planned outages for relining a blast furnace
and Modernizing a hot strip mill, and for accelerated coke oven
repairs.
4. Steel Related Operations.
Operating results improved at our Baltimore Marine
and BethForge Divisions during the second quarter and first half
of 1990 as we continued to implement the restructuring actions
that were initiated in 1989. Our Freight Car Division reported
increased operating income during the second quarter and first
half of this year compared to the year-ago periods.
5. Liquidity.
Our cash and cash equivalents declined to $281
million at the end of the second quarter from $368 million at the
end of the first quarter. The decline resulted from reduced cash
provided from operating activities, higher levels of capital
spending and continued pension funding.
6. Capital Expenditures.
Capital expenditures were $124 million during the
second quarter and $224 million for the first half of the year.
We currently estimate that for 1990 capital spending will be
about $500 million compared to $421 million last year.
During the second quarter, we selected the suppliers
for our two new hot-dip coating lines to be built at Sparrows
Point and Burns Harbor, at an estimated $300 million in capital
costs for the two lines.
- 3 -
7. Pensions.
We contributed an additional $70 million to our
pension fund during the second quarter for a total of $162
million this year. Additional contributions during the remainder
of the year will be considered as appropriate.
8. Clean Air Legislation.
Legislation is currently pending in Congress that
would impose more stringent environmental control requirements
under the Clean Air Act. Certain features of the bill concerning
air toxics are not based on sound scientific data and available
technology and, if enacted, could impose significant, unwarranted
costs on domestic steelmakers. We continue to work towards
reasonable legislation that would not be a major obstacle to
maintaining international competitiveness.
9. Outlook.
We estimate that we will ship about the same amount
of steel in the third quarter as in the second quarter. However,
third quarter results will be adversely affected by the planned
hot strip mill outage in August and continued coke oven repairs
at Sparrows Point.
We recognize and appreciate your efforts, and those of
your Staff. Please let me know if you have any questions, or if
we can be of assistance in any way.
Best personal regards.
Sincerely,
Hame Baneth

Dear John:
Since you are in the occasional business of picking "high
profile" people for prominent government positions, I thought
you might like to know of another such opportunity!
It is my understanding that there is a vacancy at the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and I know that you must
have many qualified names to review. I want to recommend Herbert
Michael Fontecilla of Alexandria. Herb's professional experience
includes a number of impressive positions in the nuclear power
industry. He is currently Vice President, Regulatory Affairs and
Analysis, The Flanagan Group. One strike against him may be his
studies in nuclear engineering at MIT! One other negative may be
his admission to being a Republican. On top of that, you and
Herb share the same birthplace, as I recall.
In any event, a lot of my friends think very highly of Herb
and I hope you 11 take the opportunity to review the impressive
material I'm enclosing.
I wish you well on the confirmation hearings for my old
friend Dave Souter. As Deputy Attorneys General in the early
'70s, we worked together rather closely for several years and
became good friends. He'll make a splendid judge.
Give my regards to Nancy and I hope to see you soon.
With kindest regards, I am
Sincerely,
Jew Gerald L.

THE FIRST
DAY MAY
Dear Governor Sununu:
HELP! The National Day of Prayer was established as the first
Thursday of May by a unanimous vote of Congress and signed into law
by President Reagan on May 5, 1988. We have written to calendar
companies asking that this date be recorded as they prepare yearly
calendars. We have learned that many companies print their
calendars several years in advance.
We are particularly concerned that the date be noted on
National Day of Prayer Task Force of
National calendars, including those prepared and distributed by the
the National Prayer Committee
Republican and Democratic parties. We were not successful in
accomplishing this last year and wonder if your office might be
Chairman:
Mrs. Bill Bright(Vonette)
able to help us with this matter? Is there anything you, could do
or any advice you could give us to make sure this happens in 1991?
Co-chairman:
Mr. Pat Boone
Would you please see that the date is set on the White House
calendar and that of President Bush? Also, we would like to ask
National Advisor:
for his involvement in whatever way he would choose to observe the
Dr. Jerry C. Nims
day.
Liaisons:
Rabbi Joshua Habermann
Mrs. James Dobson, Shirley, has consented to become co-
Dr. D. James Kennedy
chairman of the National Day of Prayer Task Force this next year in

preparation for her full leadership in 1993.

The Honorable John Sununu
Chief of Staff
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Governor Sununu,
It has come to our attention that Senator Timothy Wirth
of Colorado will offer an amendment on abortion to the
Department of Defense Authorization. The amendment
would allow U.S. overseas military personnel and their
dependents to obtain all reproductive health services
permitted under U.S. law at military medical
facilities. In the case of abortion services, the
individual shall be required to pay for the full cost,
including indirect costs of the service.
Military facilities are clearly operated by federal
funds. Current law dictates that no federal funds
appropriated to the Department of Defense shall be used
to pay for abortions. This law is elaborated in the
June, 1988 DOD memorandum and states that performing
"pre-paid" abortions in military treatment facilities
would not be authorized after September 30, 1988.
We also understand that there is an attempt underway to
mute this issue before it reaches the Senate floor by
nullifying the 1988 DOD directive, thus leaving it to
the military hospitals and facilities to dictate their
own policy. We find this contradictory to legislative
history and an unwise reversal of an established pro-
life policy clearly permissible under the principles
established in Webster VS. Reproductive Health
Services.
We ask that current policy remain intact and that any
attempt to change it be emphatically rejected by the
Administration.
Sincerely,
Gary Gary L. Bauer
President

July 26, 1990
Chief of Staff John Sununu
WHITE HOUSE OFFICE
Executive Office Building
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. Sununu:
As Executive Director of the 800,000 families who belong to the
Good Sam Club, an organization of Americans who own recreational
vehicles, I am urgently asking that you consider the unfairness
of incorporating any significant increase in the federal
gasoline tax into the federal budget.
The majority of the members who belong to the Good Sam Club are
retired or nearing retirement age, and imposing such a tax would
be discriminatory to these families who represent the very heart
of America. Most have seen military service and have worked for
the privilege of enjoying their retirement years. For them, the
freedom to visit the finest scenery this country has to offer in
a lifestyle that they can afford is being threatened.
We also are concerned about the younger families in our
organization who rely on the economy and convenience of
traveling by recreational vehicles to enjoy family vacations.
With the increasing pressures on today's families, we feel that
imposing an additional financial burden to those seeking to
strengthen family ties by enjoying togetherness in an outdoor
setting is a threat to the family structure.
Please take our opposition to an increased gasoline tax into
consideration during the budget summit. We feel that there are
more equitable means of generating revenue than by taxing those
who seek to enjoy the freedom of living in America.
Very truly yours,
Susan

The Honorable John H. Sununu

Executive Office of the President
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. Sununu:
On behalf of the Y-Group, an organization of 125 chief
executive officers and other senior business leaders, I
would like to invite you to speak at our next Washington
meeting, scheduled for September 12 - 13, 1990.
The Y-Group has two basic goals. First, to provide a
forum for discussion of key issues faced by business
leaders and public policy makers. Second, to encourage
businessmen to take a more active interest in the public
affairs of our country.
We meet twice a year in Washington to gain some insight
into what the future holds for business and to achieve a
greater understanding of the role the federal government
plays in that regard. Our meetings are totally off the
record and since the group's founding in 1970, we have not
had a single breach of that rule.
Past speakers, in addition to many key members of the
Senate and House of Representatives, have included Vice
Presidents Bush and Mondale, more than 20 cabinet
secretaries from the Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan
Administrations, and several senior members of the White
House staff.
So that you will have a better idea of the makeup of our
organization, enclosed is a membership roster and a
listing of past speakers. I am sure you know most of the
speakers and Y-Group members.
Fannie Mae The USA's Housing Partner
Honorable John H. Sununu
page Two
July The 27, 1990
I know how busy your schedule is, but hope you will be
able to join us for an off-the-record exchange at one of
our sessions on Wednesday, September 12, or for breakfast
on Thursday, September 13. Our meetings are at the Westin
Hotel at 2401 M Street, N.W. The speech topic would be of
your choosing.
The meeting format provides an opportunity for a 20 - 3,0
minute presentation. After your remarks, we hope you will
be able to join us for a question and answer period,
which we also find to be a valuable and stimulating part
of the program.
As program chairman for the next Y-Group meeting, and on
behalf of the Y-Group's members, I hope you will join us
in September. I have asked William Maloni, Fannie Mae's
Senior Vice President for Policy and Public Affairs, to
call you in the next few weeks to check your availability.
Please feel free to call me directly if you have any
questions in the meantime.
Best regards,
Roya, Bird

Mr. John H. Sununu
White House Chief of Staff
1600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. Sununu:
The National Grange, this nation's oldest general farm organization
which represents 325,000 members in 42 states and has 7,000 local chapters
across the country, is deeply concerned about the size of the federal
budget deficit. Enclosed please find a letter we sent to the President on
May 10, 1990, in which we set forth the specific policies that were adopted
at the National Grange's 123rd Annual Convention regarding the federal
government's fiscal responsibilities and the federal deficit.
As you, and the other members of the Budget Summit, are searching for
ways to reduce the 1991 federal deficit in accordance with the Gramm-
Rudman-Hollings' mandate of $74 billion, we respectfully request that you
do not include an increase in the federal motor fuel excise tax in your
recommendations.
Unlike the current gas tax revenue, which is earmarked for the federal
Highway Trust Fund, the new taxes would raise revenue for the general fund.
The National Grange is strongly opposed to diverting highway user fees for
reducing the federal deficit. We base our opposition on the following
criteria:
-
A deficit reduction fuel tax will seriously endanger the funding
mechanism for both federal and state highway programs. Once the
"trust" is broken in our dedicated highway funding mechanisms, there
is no going back. We already know that this country's highways need
more funding. Many states are already raising fuel taxes to fund their
current highway programs. If the federal government raises fuel taxes
for deficit reduction, it will be even more difficult to generate
support for future fuel taxes that are needed for highway programs,
particularly at the state level.
Gasoline use varies widely depending on the geographical location.
Residents of rural and western states have to travel much farther to
get to work, obtain needed services, or shop than do people who live
in more urbanized areas. A deficit reduction fuel tax would make
different people pay different amounts of taxes based on where they
live rather than on their ability to pay.
Like all excise taxes, a deficit reduction fuel tax would be
regressive and would hit the poor much harder than would other forms
July 24, 1990
Page 2
of taxation. According to the Congressional Budget Office, families
who earn less than $5,000 annually pay more than 1.6% of their income
in gasoline excise taxes compared to only 0.2% of those families who
earn over $50,000 per year.
Tourism is one of the major sources of state revenue throughout the
nation. Eighty percent of vacation travel in the United States is by
private vehicle. The travel industry has projected a $2 billion
decline in tourism as a result of a 10 cents per gallon tax increase.
The AAA commissioned Wharton Economic Forecasting Associates to study
the economic impact of the major gasoline tax proposals. The study
concluded that the near-term costs of such a gasoline tax are
exceedingly negative. Thousands of people would lose their jobs, the
amount of income tax revenues would be reduced by billions,
auto production would be reduced, construction of new housing would
decline, personal savings would be lowered and consumer prices would
increase.
We respectfully request that the Budget Summit not recommend an
increase in the federal motor fuel excise tax as a way to reduce the
federal deficit. Study after study has pointed out the negative impact
that such an increase would have on this nation's economy. Please do not
rely on a "quick fix" of "gas pump economics" to correct the more
fundamental, underlying problems of our fiscal and monetary policies that
have created the huge federal deficit. We are ready to make the sacrifices.
Are you ready to lead?
Respectfully,
Pred Barrow 8

Dear John:
This is to recommend Gloria I. Gaylord to you as
an appointee to FERC. I can't honestly say that
I know Mrs. Gaylord, however she comes highly
recommended from people whom I think very highly
of.
You may know that I worked as an engineer with
the old Federal Power Commission (the forefather
of FERC) and thus feel that I have a pretty good
idea of its work. My review of Mrs. Gaylord's
credentials convinces me that she would fit in as
a great asset on the Commission.
I'd appreciate your serious consideration.
With best wishes,
mile Sincerely yours,

Re: The President's Supreme Court Nominee
Gentlemen:
In light of the recent resignation of Justice Brennan, I
strongly recommend to The President the nomination of Justice
Raul Gonzalez of the Supreme Court of Texas. Justice Gonzalez
is an experienced conservative jurist, affiliated with the Demo-
cratic Party, but with strong electoral and Republican support in
Texas. The following is a brief, but representative summary of
his judicial philosophy. The opinions to which I refer have been
attached for your convenience.
Strict Constructionism
Justice Gonzalez' dissenting opinion in Lucas V. United
States speaks for itself. He begins by emphasizing that consti-
tutional review of legislative enactments starts with a strong
presumption of validity, then closes by decrying the "super legis-
lature" activism of the majority as a violation of the separation
of powers doctrine. 757 S.W.2d 687, 694, 701 (Tex. 1988).
Further, Justice Gonzalez has taken to task his more liberal
colleagues for their use of results-oriented jurisprudence to
the exclusion of constitutionally binding principle. ALCOA V.
Alm, 785 S.W.2d 137, 142-43 (Tex. 1990). Finally, and most
recently, Justice Gonzalez hoisted his Republican brethren on
their own "original intent" petard in construing the
constitutional requirements for becoming a Texas Supreme Court
justice. Sears V. Bayoud, 786 S.W.2d 248, 251-54 (Tex. 1990) ;
see also Morrison v. Chan, 699 S.W.2d 205, 208 (Tex. 1985)
(judge's duty "to construe statutes as written").
Abortion
Justice Court openly criticized Roe V. V. Krusen, Wade for 678 S.W.2d 918, 935 a
Gonzalez' first opinion as a member contributing of the Texas to
Supreme society.' Nelson his words,
(Tex. "disposable 1984) (concurring & dissenting). In own
is hope that the courts and legislatures of this the
meaning and the value of life, even that of those and yet
nation, It my and our society, will continue to ponder
unborn. Through this process of reflection
discretion, hopefully the pendulum of public opinion
will swing toward the recognition of the rights of the
unborn.
Id. The fact that Justice Gonzalez' first Supreme Court opinion
dealt frankly with such a controversial subject speaks volumes
for the confidence of his convictions.
Crime and Punishment
Unlike the U.S. Supreme Court, the Supreme Court of Texas
does not exercise criminal jurisdiction. Over the last six
years, Justice Gonzalez has issued only one opinion relating to
criminal procedure. In L.G.R. V. State, a juvenile delinquency
proceeding, he adhered to the "fatal variance" doctrine which
requires that an accused be given sufficient notice of the
charges against him in order to comply with the dictates of due
process. 724 S.W.2d 775, 776 (Tex. 1987). Additionally, while
Justice Gonzalez has apparently never written on the
constitutionality of the death penalty, the opinions from his
tenure on the Corpus Christi Court of Appeals indicate a
conservative tendency on law and order issues. See, e.g.,
Williams v. State, 680 S.W.2d 570, 574-75 (Tex. App.--Corpus
Christi 1984, pet. ref'd). (Miranda warnings not required).
Business and Professions
Justice Gonzalez has not been inclined to expand the civil
liability of business, health care and manufacturing interests.
ALCOA V. Alm, supra (manufacturing); Morisson v. Chan, supra
(health care) ; Lucas V. United States, supra (health care). In
Gaulding v. Celotex Corp., he held that various and sundry
collective liability theories did not apply to the facts of an
asbestos case. 772 S.W.2d 66 (Tex. 1989).
First and Fourteenth Amendments
Justice Gonzalez' opinions with regard to the rights guaran-
teed by the First and Fourteenth Amendments are unremarkable. In
he carefully followed established free speech
Brasher, before deciding the case on a state procedural point.
carredent 567, 569-70 (Tex. 1989). In the aforementioned Lucas
776 United States, his grasp of traditional equal protection and
due V. process analysis is clear. 757 S.W.2d at 694-96. I am, how-
ever, unaware of any Gonzalez opinion dealing with free exercise
or establishment of religion.
From a review of his opinions, Justice Gonzalez appears to
have the conservative credentials and judicial philosophy
publicly sought by The President. As a purely political matter,
the Senate Judiciary Committee would have a difficult time
advising against confirmation if properly presented to the media.
Political Considerations
Justice Gonzalez is the epitome of the Democratic majority's
nightmare: a thinking, self-reliant, conservative minority. I
believe he is the first Hispanic to sit on the Texas Supreme
Court and he would certainly be the first on the U. S. Supreme
Court if confirmed. Since Justice Gonzalez was recently
popularly elected to the bench, hispanic organizations like
MALDEF and LULAC would be hard pressed to oppose confirmation,
setting up a possible schism in the civil rights lobby. Further,
Senator DeConcini faces a large Mexican-American constituency in
Arizona and if Senator Biden continues to harbor presidential
aspirations, he will require support from that same constituency
throughout the Southwest. Even Senator Kennedy may have to cool
his rhetoric while shepherding Kennedy-Hawkins through conference
committee. Finally, the stigma of vetoing a "civil rights" bill
may be considerably lessened and the chance of sustaining a veto
increased by elevating a member of the hispanic community to the
highest court in the land. At a minimum, the Democratic members
of the judiciary committee will have to proceed with caution.
On abortion, the fact that Justice Gonzalez has clearly
placed his views in writing may be viewed as a kiss of death. It
should be noted, however, that a non-publishing, conservative,
white male nominee, however qualified, will surely receive the
same withering scrutiny from the Judiciary Committee on this
issue. Another Justice Kennedy is not in the offing. If The
President nominates a moderate comparable to former Justice
Powell, he must hope that either the Court declines to hear a
case prior to the '92 election or that the nominee declines to
cast a vote identical to Powell's in Roe. Unfortunately, the
Court has already agreed to hear at least one abortion case next
term. Confrontation seems inevitable even if the nominee has
expressed no written opinion, so Justice Gonzalez' opinion in
Nelson v. Krusen may not be as significant a liability,
especially in light of other qualifications that make rejection
politically unpalatable.
3
cast the deciding vote
Justice Gonzalez' party and affiliation. wrote the
Republican candidate from running
Sears v. Bayoud, supra. Texans
Texas loyalty as a virtue to be rewarded. The political
sination admire of a loyal Texas Democrat would be a considerable
state Democratic Party, already struggling to
to its majority status, and might possibly have serious
Freeidential repercussions in 1992.
Parallels to the Brennan Nomination
Justice Gonzalez' background mirrors that of Justice Brennan
in three important aspects. First, he is an experienced state
supreme court justice (six years; forty-seven majority opinions).
Second, I believe he shares the same Catholic faith as Justice
Brennan. Finally, Gonzalez' nomination would repeat political
history in that a Republican president would again nominate a
Democrat to the court.
Because I believe Justice Gonzalez is well qualified to sit
on our highest bench and that he is a man of integrity and
character that either party may support in good conscience, I
respectfully urge his recommendation to The President for
nomination to the position of Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States.
Very truly yours,
Wade Birdwell

We are deeply concerned about the ramifications of

the OMB proposal for the quality of care provided

concept of therapeutic substitution is a dangerous
Medimorphics, Inc.
one to impose unilaterally. It is clear that
drugs intended for similar therapeutic purposes,
but having different chemical make-ups, are
different drugs. Patients experience different
therapeutic effects, as well as differing adverse
effects; therefore, any plan for substitution may
have a significant impact on the health and well-
being of the individuals receiving the drugs.
However, there are other problems with the
proposal. First, it would surely result in
Medicaid patients receiving the oldest and least
expensive versions of a drug. All of the research
and development expended to make new, more
efficient and effective drugs would not benefit
the Medicaid population at all.

Also, the proposal places an extraordinary amount of
responsibility on the pharmacist but does not hold the pharmacist
accountable -- it permits pharmacists to override the
prescription of a physician. Taken together, these factors
clearly suggest a cavalier attitude toward the well-being of the
vulnerable Medicaid population.
The Association of Biotechnology Companies (ABC) has grave
concerns about the advisability of the OMB proposal and urges you
to consider it unfavorable. We realize the difficult task you
are facing in stretching limited resources across many demands;
however, we believe that you must look elsewhere for the money
OMB would take from Medicaid.
Thank you for your consideration.

CHAMBERS OF
CHIEF JUSTICE BURGER
RETIRED

Dear Governor Sununu:
On September 17, 1990, the Commission on the Bicentennial of
the U.S. Constitution will announce its plans on programs and
projects for 1991, the year of the Bill of Rights. That
announcement will take the form of a Special Report to the heads
of the three branches of the government -- the President, the
Congressional leadership, and the Chief Justice.
1991 will mark the conclusion of the Commission's five year
commemorative program, and we hope to reach most Americans in
some way. The Bill of Rights is probably the part of the
Constitution best known to Americans, and we are hopeful that
there will be widespread public involvement in our programs.
If the President's schedule allows, we would be pleased to
have the opportunity to present him with a copy of the report in
person on Monday, September 17. His support will be, as it has
been, very helpful in bringing about what we have called "a
history and civics lesson" for the American people.
Um Cordially, 5 Burgh

Dear Mr. Sununu:
I am writing to you as a critical summit negotiator on behalf of the
elected officials of the nation's cities and towns to support the
federal deficit reduction objectives articulated by Chairman Dan
Rostenkowski and to put the S&L bailout on a pay-as-you-go basis.
On Saturday our Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution
urging your leadership in setting a goal of eliminating the deficit
and fundamentally restructuring federal budget priorities to meet
our nation's changing security needs. We believe significant
deficit reduction and conversion from a military to a civilian
economy is critical to ensuring the nation's future prosperity.
More importantly, we believe this issue is a test of leadership,
accountability, and responsibility. For that reason, we are
prepared to not only support a comprehensive effort, but also to
participate in efforts to build broad public support for what must
be done. With a majority of American cities confronting lower
revenues and increased needs, we are only too understanding of the
difficult choices which leadership requires.
Specifically, we support setting a 5-year deficit reduction goal of
$600 billion. We recommend that defense spending be cut $200
billion. We recommend a combination of cuts in non-needs tested
entitlement programs and non-priority discretionary programs, and
tax increases to make up the remaining $400 billion. Attached, for
your information, are federal revenue increases we would be willing
to support to eliminate the deficit and reinvest in priority
municipal programs.
To convert our economy to meet challenges to our economic security
from global competitors, we urge you to devote $550 billion to
deficit reduction and $50 billion to reinvest in our own country to
insure that our human and physical infrastructure is competitive for
the future. These are essential investments to the creation of an
economy inferior to none in the next decade.

Finally, we urge you to adopt a dedicated tax to fund the S&L
bailout on a pay-as-you-go basis. We strongly oppose efforts to
borrow and pass this burden on to future Americans, to exempt the
costs from Gramm-Rudman, to put the bailout off-budget, or to
borrow through quasi-public corporations such as REFCORP. We
believe that the consequences of long term borrowing to pay for
past mistakes would significantly reduce the stock of capital
investment at the federal, state, and municipal level - as well
as with the private sector. We believe borrowing should be
reserved for productive investment to make our economy stronger
and more productive.
The choices you make in these closed door negotiations will have
a significant impact on every city and town. They will affect
municipal finances, public facilities and services, and the
pocketbooks of every taxpayer. They will affect not just our
federal deficit, but also our human and physical deficits.
We hope you succeed and stand ready to work with you.
Sincerely,
Bob Bolen

Mr. John Sununu
Chief of Staff
THE WHITE HOUSE
First Floor, West Wing
Washington, D.C., 20500
Subjects: 8th World Hydrogen Energy Conference & The Phoenix Project.
Dear Mr. Sununu,
Enclosed are some background materials regarding the 8th World Hydrogen Energy
Conference being held in Honolulu, Hawaii, July 22-27th, 1990.
An energy and industrial transition from the "oil economy" to a "hydrogen economy"
could create an unprecedented economic boom for the U.S., while virtually eliminating
many of the more serious global environmental problems related to global warming
(hydrogen combustion emits no greenhouse gases), oil spills, acid rain, urban air pollution
(smog), sewage and landfill accumulations, or the production of any additional nuclear
reactors. Moreover, as the arms race continues to wind-down, the mass production of
renewable solar-hydrogen systems will provide a private sector alternative to the
deficit-financed defense spending. This is because the renewable resource technologies
will provide a relatively low risk and renewable rate of return on their investment,
which means it is really a question of oil companies evolving into solar-hydrogen
companies.
I have included a copy of Senate Bill 639, which specifically seeks to fund the
development of hydrogen energy technologies in the U.S. (HR-2793 is the house-version
of the bill), and two advance copies of a related book on the subject, The Phoenix Project:
An Energy Transition to Renewable Resources, which identifies three types of solar
technologies (i.e., Stirling dish gensets, ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) and
wind energy conversion systems) that could be economically mass produced for large-scale
hydrogen production. (Please refer to chapters 4, 5 and 6.)
It is worth noting that Stirling dish gensets are similar to automobiles from a
manufacturing and cost perspective, whereas OTEC plants are like ships, and wind
energy conversion systems are like airplanes. As such, these technologies are not like the
unproven "cold fusion" systems that were never published in peer-review scientific
papers - much less proven in the field. Indeed, wind, OTEC and Stirling dish gensets
have been in use or under development for over 100 years, which means that if the
billions of dollars that have been spent on nuclear and fossil fuel systems since World
War II had been directed towards these renewable solar-hydrogen technologies, a global
hydrogen energy system would already be in place. This only underscores the importance
of strategic planing with regards to which technologies we want to see developed.
Mr. John Sununu
Chief of Staff
THE WHITE HOUSE
July 12, 1990

Hydrogen is an ideal medium to store the vast but intermittent supply of solar energy,
and it is the only energy alternative that is non-toxic, essentially clean burning, and
completely renewable. Hydrogen can be made from water, and when it is burned as a fuel,
the water is returned in the form of steam. Our research, however, has shown that the
most cost-effective source of hydrogen will initially come from microbes that will extract
it from sewage sludge and landfill materials (i.e., garbage). This is no small considera-
tion given the fact that the oceans are being poisoned by the billions of gallons of raw
sewage that is being dumped daily, and that virtually all of the existing landfills in the
U.S. will be full in about 8 years.
Two other key points that few people realize is that hydrogen is generally rated
safer than gasoline or other hydrocarbon fuels in the event of accidents, and an energy
transition to a global hydrogen energy system is being advocated by over 2,500 distin-
guished scientists and engineers from more than 80 countries who have formed the
International Association for Hydrogen Energy (IAHE). The IAHE is also the primary
organization that organizes the World Hydrogen Energy Conferences that are held every
two years.
In spite of the fact that a transition to hydrogen would solve so many global economic
and environmental problems, the IAHE and the hydrogen economy concept are essentially
unknown by the vast majority of the world's citizens and their elected officials. You and
President Bush have the power to change all that. This is a win-win situation for almost
everyone, but what is really required is presidential leadership. Just as President
Roosevelt brought together the War Production Board in World War II, President Bush
now needs to assemble a U.S. Hydrogen Production Board, and to help establish an
international industrial effort as well.
My initial suggestion is for you and/or any of your key staff members to attend as
many days at the upcoming World Hydrogen Conference as possible. An appropriate
follow-up briefing could be provided at Camp David to President Bush and the key
members of his cabinet. An official administration policy statement could follow.
Please give me or my associates a call if you have any specific questions on any of the
enclosed materials. We will do whatever we can to be helpful.
Very Truly Yours,
Havy Been

Dear Mr. Sununu:
Thank you for your thoughtful reply of July 12th.
I am sure you heard about the enclosed speech. It is a thoughtful, excellent
statement, with which I mostly concur.
Personally, I believe in free choice for a variety of reasons, not the least
of which is that the last place government needs to be involved, anatomically
speaking, is in the birth canal.
Have a pleasant summer. We are off to Wyoming and Montana for some fresh air
Sincerely,
and all scenery.

Dear John,
Yesterday's lead story in the Wall Street Journal tells another unhappy tale
about the telephone companies and their business practices.
In addition to the "Perverts Club," there are allegations here of insider
trading, $118.5 million in overcharges, violations of the MFJ consent decree,
misallocations of lobbying expenses, bid-rigging and other assorted difficulties.
This story, about NYNEX, follows by a few days a finding by the Georgia
Public Service Commission that Southern Bell has been overcharging its
customers at the rate of $180 million a year.
And that finding was preceded by revelations of misallocated expenses by
Ameritech in Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio.
This is only the most recent news, along with the GTE-Contel insider trading
suit brought last week by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Nearly
every telco has had its turn in the spotlight.
If these are the people who are supposed to save the consumer from the
excesses of a few "bad actors" in the cable business, the consumer may not be
all that grateful for his salvation.
Sincerely,
Par

Dear John:
When I returned from several weeks of business in Europe, I
was forced to go through mountains of material on my desks at
home and the office. Somewhere, in all of that paper, I found
the enclosed photograph of Nancy and the two of us. In light of
the bi-partisan effort to assault the budget deficit, I thought
the photograph might encourage you to look for the weapon you're
holding and then use it!
Jeannie and I enjoyed seeing you and Nancy at the Kentucky
Derby and hope that we'll have the pleasure of seeing you again
soon.
With kindest regards, I am

Dear Mr. Sununu:
Winning often imposes upon the victor the burden of new thinking. The administration
wander has been successful in accomplishing many doable acts, but I believe whenever Republicans
off their own intellectual reservation they ultimately do themselves and
nation irreparable harm. I understand the need for trial balloons, but the the of
sending up same tends to define the parameters of one's thinking. A trial process balloon
taxing capital transactions is at best inconsistent with the long term essential needs on
of this country and the direction this administration should take.
If you want less of something, by all means tax it. Taxing capital transactions will
assuredly result in a reduction of capital flows and increase the disparity of valuation
between the growth and cyclical sectors of our economy, thereby making the latter more
vulnerable to takeovers while increasing their capital costs and making them even less
competitive. It is a bad idea which should be aborted before it takes on a life of its
own and the economic anti-abortionists grab hold of it.
More and more, government becomes irrelevant and even detrimental, and though people
may maintain their physical beings in this country, their increasing lack of
participation is the best evidence of where their intellectual spirit lies and how
repelled they are by trends. I have never been a strict ideologue, but I do believe
in certain eternal verities. The enclosed articles touch upon much of what I hold
intellectually sacred. This administration must not embrace the bankrupt and flawed
thinking of the Democratic Party. In doing so, it will justifiably lose the nucleus of
its support.
As we ultimately move toward the "one world" of which Wilkie spoke, I believe we will
first settle on increasing geographic or continental competition. The sooner America
better integrates its economic, social and political ties with South America and Canada,
the better we can compete with the emerging European community and the Pacific rim
nations. I was heartened when President Bush recently proposed this concept. The sooner
we get at it, the better off we'll be. This should be our focus, not raising taxes in
manners counterproductive to this goal.
Sincerely,
Richard Berkowitz

Dear Goverhor:
At Premark International, affirmative action is more than a
governmental imperative. We believe affirmative action makes good
business sense, and we say SO in a statement of beliefs and practices,
which we give to every employee. We have a good record in this area,
and SO do many other Fortune 500 companies, but we believe that the
Kennedy-Hawkins bill now making its way through Congress could
seriously undermine further progress.
Premark is opposed to the Kennedy-Hawkins bill for two reasons:
1. The bill's burden-of-proof language makes a quota system the only
safe harbor for employers.
2. Provisions for jury trials and punitive/compensatory damages would
turn civil rights laws into a "lawyer's bonanza."
In short, we believe passage of Kennedy-Hawkins in its present form
would mean a setback for affirmative action, for business and for
President Bush. We urge your support on this issue in your
negotiations with the bill's sponsors.
Premark International is a $2.6 billion multinational company with
14,000 U.S. employees. The company manufactures and markets premium
products under such leading brand names as Tupperware, West Bend,
Wilsonart, Hobart, Vulcan, Hartco and Precor.

Mr. John Sununu

Dear John:
The State of Utah, like the State of Texas, from which you have recently heard,
has a substantial concern about the position that the Department of Labor has taken
to require overtime pay for a number of positions which were formerly exempt from
FLSA overtime requirements.
Even though the potential liability in Utah is not as great as Texas is
experiencing, such "administrative rulings" by the Department of Labor have the
potential effect of requiring Utah to tax its citizens to raise monies to cover FLSA
declared liabilities. This option is not acceptable to me.
I believe that new legislation is not needed. I believe, however, that the
President can be helpful to all states by requesting that the Department of Labor
revert from their recent administrative rulings affecting professional employees of
state governments.
I am aware that the National Association of State Personnel Executives has
filed a brief with the Department of Labor regarding this topic. I believe this brief
outlines a reasonable approach and request your assistance with the Department of
Labor. I have attached this brief for your reference.
It is curious to me that the Department of Labor would take such an
entrenched position as they have, when many of the classifications they are studying,
such as Social Workers, have 40-50% federal monies attached. The Department of
Labor's actions penalizes both state and federal budgets.

On behalf of the National Vietnam Veterans
Coalition, we wish to apprise you of our
Tony Diamond
endorsement of Ambassador Henry Cooper to be
Lamont C. Gaston
the new Director of the Strategic Defense
Initiative.
T.L. (Tank) Lanford
Martin J. Merjave
We believe it imperative that the new
director be both knowledgeable and committed to
John J. Molloy, Jr.
the SDI program. Moreover, as an organization
Theodore (Ted) J. Mortensen
that is committed to SDI, we want an individual
Bruce (Doc) Rehmer
as SDI director with whom we can work. We can
do so with Ambassador Henry Cooper. We urge that
Lou Ross
the President appoint him to be the new SDI director.

Dear Governor Sununu:
On behalf of myself and the entire State Senate Election Committee, I wish to
thank you for your continued support of our Committee.
Everyone was so pleased to see both you and Nancy at our June 8, 1990,
reception. Many people remarked that you were so relaxed and seemed to enjoy
meeting old friends again.
I want you to personally know how much I have enjoyed working with you during
our years of state service together. Those years will hold firm in my memory
a true enjoyment of state service and a strong desire to achieve the best for
our people.
I remain willing to help you and the President, if desired.
Warmest regards,
Bill I

The Honorable John Sununu
Chief of Staff
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Governor:
While the President's decision to embrace new taxes is not popular
with the families our organization represents, our constituency is
pleased that the Bush Administration appears determined to veto
bad child care legislation. Indeed, we were heartened by the strong
language used in your recent letter on the subject to Congressman
Bill Goodling.
Just as the Goodling letter offered White House input on a number of
key child care spending questions, we believe a letter offering White
House input on key child care tax issues would also prove useful.
Such a letter could call for the conferees to bring the new young child
tax credit (adopted by both Houses) into full conformity with the
President's FY90 and FY91 budget proposal by targeting this new
credit to families who currently receive little or no benefit from the
Dependent Care Tax Credit (DCTC).
Underscoring the Administration's support for such a credit would
make clear that a simple expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit,
while certainly not at odds with the Bush child care proposal, does
not fulfill the President's interest in permitting families that care for
their own children to claim as many tax credits as families with day
care expenses. Instead, full conformity with the President's proposal
requires a new young child credit available to families who do not
claim the DCTC.
We believe it is appropriate to raise this issue with the conferees
since the House floor debate did not address the question of how the
new young child credit would interact with the existing DCTC, much
less a DCTC made refundable by Senate action.
Family Research Council A division of Focus on the Family
601 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 901 Washington, D.C. 20004 (202) 393-2100
Moreover, we believe there are a number of good reasons for
pursuing this issue. A Bush-style young child credit is less costly
than a young child credit that permits "double dipping" -- especially
if the Dependent Care Tax Credit is made partially or fully
refundable. This is significant given the serious (and appropriate)
budget constraints faced by the conference committee.
While existing tax discrimination alone is enough to merit adoption of
a Bush-style credit, the fact that Congress appears hell-bent on
increasing government day care subsidies makes this attempt to
level the tax playing field all the more important. A new tax credit
targeted to families that care for their own children would
significantly offset the increased subsidies to day care users adopted
by the Congress.
In addition, a Bush-style credit is the responsible answer to calls for
paid parental leave. As the enclosed article makes clear, a Bush-
style credit provides economic assistance to leave-taking parents
without saddling business with burdensome labor costs.
Apart from urging the conferees to bring the proposed new tax credit
for young children into full conformity with the President's position,
we believe that House provisions capping the Dependent Care Tax
Credit and Dependent Care Assistance Plans must be included in final
legislation. Indeed, proposals to cap -- or even eliminate one or
both of these discriminatory and poorly-targeted tax provisions
should be included among revenue-raising options in the ongoing
budget negotiations.
Again, thanks for digging in your heels on child care legislation. We
hope that a precedent for a Bush-style tax credit can be set in the
conference negotiations so that the bill that emerges in the post-veto
environment is one that treats all families fairly.
With warm regards,
Gary Gary L. Bauer
President

Dear Governor:
First, I want you to know how much I enjoyed the Warner-Nickles event in
Williamsburg this past weekend and how much your participation added. I hope
we can all do it again next year.
Recalling your Sunday morning comments about important issues in general and
the Hatch Act revisions in particular, I just wanted you to know that not all
of us have our heads in the sand.
Best wishes,
