Dear Mr. Rockefeller:
Governor Sununu forwarded your request for the President to
greet members of the Trilateral Commission here at the White
House sometime during their meeting in Washington,
April 21 - 23. Given the President's deep personal interest in
the Commission, I deeply regret that we will not be able to
arrange the reception you requested due to a heavy schedule to
which he is already committed and pending matters that are
anticipated for that period of time.
We appreciate your offering the President this fine opportunity
to meet with this illustrious membership and hope that it might
be possible at a future time.
Please know that you have the warm best wishes of the
President.
Sincerely,
JOSEPH W. HAGIN II

afternoon reception at the White House. President Reagan spoke
briefly to the group (off-the-record) and shook hands with many
members as he departed. In 1978, there was also a late afternoon
reception at the White House. President Carter spoke briefly and
then spent some time in discussion with the group. The ideal time
for us next spring would be in the late afternoon or early evening --
perhaps around 6:00 p.m. -- of April 23 (Monday) before we go,
hopefully, to the State Department, or April 22 before we go to the
Capitol Building for dinner. But we are quite flexible.

I look forward to speaking with you about this and filling in any
more details that might be helpful to you. It would mean a great
deal to all of us, and to the substance and spirit of the Washington
meeting, if we are able to meet with the President.
With best regards,

Guv. Deuhmejish leaped to the defense of offchore oil
drilling Wednesday in the wake of last week's Southern
California oil spill, saying U.S. Sen. Pete Wilson and oth-
ers who want to ban drilling are shortsightedly ignoring
the country's overall energy needs.
The Republican governor said the latest spill, which OC-
curred when a tanker ruptured its hull off Huntington
Beach, should not fuol efforts to halt drilling Rather he
said, it points up the need to lessen California's depen-
dence on tanker-shipped imported oil.

Deukmejian said Californians use twice as much crude
oil as is produced in the state.
"I don't hear them calling on residents of this state to
cut the consumption of the amount or gasoune that they
use in half," he said.
Wilson spokesman Rill I .Ivingstone said the senator is

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
THROUGH:
Governor Sununu
FROM:
Marlin Fitzwater Mali
SUBJECT:
"American Sportsman" Show with Curt Gowdy
Curt Gowdy wants to produce a one hour prime time "American
Sportsman" special on the state of the American wilds. Curt's idea
is to make his conversations with you while fishing the common
thread of the show. For instance, in the course of your
conversation, Curt would bring up the fact that the grizzly bear
population is growing again or that the American Bald Eagle
population is recovering.
Your response would lead into a 5 to 10 minute segment, produced
separately, on the state of the bald eagle or the grizzly bear.
The concept is clearly not a typical "American Sportsman" where you
spend the day telling your favorite fish stories. Gowdy's presence
would dominate your time. The ever-present microphone would require
your continuous attention.
FLA?
Curt would like to spend a day with you fishing in Islamorada during
your upcoming April trip, and he would like to spend the day with
you later in the month when you fish the Potomac River.
Logistically, Curt would be in the boat with you and George Hommel.
From time to time he would like to add a cameraman to your boat for
close-ups. In addition, a boat with a soundman and producer would
accompany you throughout the day. You would both wear wireless
microphones. The logistics would be identical on the Potomac.
We need your direction on the following options:
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3

The Honorable George Bush
President of the United States
White House
from Daily book
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20500
3/7
Dear President Bush:
We have taken note of the extreme and negative statements which have
been made in the wake of your major policy statement on global
warming at Georgetown University and want you to know that we
support your concerned, yet cautious approach to this possible
problem.
The news media have reported that there were those who demanded
immediate, draconian and expensive courses of action based upon
doomsday predictions of one school of thought in the scientific
community.
We applaud you for recognizing that there is another school of
thought by others in the scientific community -- persons whose
credentials are immaculate -- who disagree on either the existence
or degree of the presumed problem.
We particularly appreciated your statement, as quoted in news media
reports, that environmental protection and economic development must
be balanced. We agree fully, but would like to point out that the
same balance must be achieved between environmental values on the
one hand and the ability of state and local governments to provide
for the basic needs of people, such as water supply and highway
infrastructure, on the other.
We must report that, across the nation, a serious imbalance exists
and it has gotten much worse during your administration, and it has
been because many of the same extremists who are now attacking you
because of your cautious approach to global warming have been given
almost carte blanche to stop essential public projects when --
as usually is the case -- Federal permits are required.
Perhaps a return to balance is on the horizon. Your responsible
statements at Georgetown University have given us hope.
Sincerely,
Robert E.Dor Robert Dow
Robert E. Dorr

EMBASSY OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
TO THE HOLY SEE
Rome, Italy
February 20, 1990
Dear Mr. President:
The year 1990 brings a sense of optimism at The
Holy See that we are into a period when there is
significant movement in countries that have known only
totalitarian rulers, to governments based on political
pluralism, religious freedom and human rights.
Since these values are the cornerstone of our
government, we and The Holy See have seen a clear
convergence of goals in the world. Our relationships
are excellent and you are highly regarded by the Holy
Father and his top aides.
I write to confirm two suggestions that I offered
to John Sununu when I saw him on February 5.
1. This is an excellent time for the Vice
President to make a trip. A top item on the
agenda should be the struggle against drugs.
The Pope and his aides are very receptive to
our suggestions. A visit by Vice President
Quayle could firm up the convergence and
energize more direct anti-drug programs of The
Holy See around the world. I know that such a
meeting would be successful.
2. The Bush name is very respected here. In
order to expand the "personal" aspect, I
recommend that consideration be given for your
brother, Pres, and his wife, Beth, to visit
the Vatican. He could, for example, bring a
letter from you to the Pope. It might be a
personal/private visit where there would be an
audience, a visit to Vatican cultural and
charitable activities. As you know, Pres was
a trustee of Sacred Heart University when I
was President.
The President
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Before closing, I want to tell you that the Pope
likes your phone calls.
Thank you again for sending me to the most
interesting and challenging assignment in my life.
Margaret and I are very grateful for this opportunity.
With warm regards, I am
Very sincerely yours,
Tom

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
14 March 1990
MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE
FROM:
ROBERT M. GATES
SUBJECT: Soviet Summit
You have informed Jack Matlock that our preferred timing is the
week of 18-22 June. Gorbachev could arrive on the 19th, the
President's official involvement (including a state dinner) would
be on the 20th, and Gorbachev could have other appointments,
including on the Hill, on the 21st. Then the President could
invite him to Kennebunkport for the 22nd and 23rd. Gorbachev
would then leave directly for the Soviet Union from Pease AFB on
the 23rd (or 24th).
If setting the Party Congress date on July 2 causes the Soviets
to want the Summit earlier, we could follow the above scenario
just one week earlier. This would mean an arrival on the 12th,
President's involvement on the 13th, other Gorbachev activities
on the 14th, and going to Kennebunkport for some portion of June
15-17 -- with a departure for the Soviet Union from Pease. (This
would involve rescheduling Prime Minister Chatchai of Thailand
now scheduled for June 14.)
Needless to say this would give the summit a unique flavor in
addition to sending some very useful signals.
