MEMORANDUM TO BILL SITTMANN
RE:
James Garner and Dennis Le Blanc
OR
We had someone speak directly with James Garner, and found that
although he is a Democrat and supports Mondale he does not do
so publicly.
In speaking with Dennis Le Blanc, he contacted Joe Rodgers and
is forwarding his company's monies to Joe's Foundation, The
Responsible Government for America Foundation. I believe this
provides all information you requested. If you need additional
information, please let me know.

Mr. Michael Deavers
Chief of Staff
The White House
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
From time to time I have been sending your office material which I
hope will help you consider me for a MEDAL OF FREEDOM award.
I am enclosing you additional material which centers during the time
ofthe Vietnam War, when my concerns were for the Prisoners of War
ofthat war were not being treated according to the Geneva Convention
Protocols. These material is only a small part of the project which
I undertook, with no personal reward as its objective, but as a
former POW myself who had endured the consequences during World War Two.
Through the years I have read of many persons who have been accorded
honors for their work in POW and MIA matters, which I am sure very well
deserved, however, since the end of World War Two in this concern and
endeavor I have been involved I have been advised that I should also
receive the same honors. Not that I want to be egotistical, however,
also forthe fact that many Hispanics have not been justly rewarded for
their deeds.
Presently I am the Public and Press Relations person forthe So. Calif.
Chapter and also the Department of California, which encompasses all
of the State of California, for the American Ex-Prisonefs of War.
I have been honored by my organization for my work regarding POW and MiA
efforts many times. As I mentioned in a previous letter, my technic al
advisement for two "Real People" segments have received 22 awards and
one Emmy Nomination. It was these two segments which first brought to
the attention of the American people the plight of former POWs and
also the families of the MIA's. The "Golden Eagle Award" trophy which
I received in July perhaps has been the highest honor the entertainment
industry can bestow on a person. The City of Santa Fe Springs award for
organizing the "Taco Bowl Festival" is another example of community
involvement. Recently the City of Los Angeles awarded me an Apprecation
award signed personally by Mayor Tom Bradley. My involvement with
Excellence in Education has also been noted. To help moral in prison
camps I was instrumental in bringing joy with impressionations of famours
people and also plays. I probadly could go on more, but I feel that
for the time being this is about it.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Deaver:
I'm a sustaining member of the Republican National Committee. #1678526. I'm
concerned that if the President has another night like Oct 7th, that there will
be an earthquake larger then San Francisco on Apr 18, 1906.
Some throughts I have sir as as follows: Bring in Budget Director David Stockman
to prepare the President, since he did a superb job last time around. Give the
President an extra day away from the Campaign trail to prepare for this all
important appearance. Don't take Mr. Mondale too lightly as I believe was done
on Oct 7th. He most likely will scrap bottom and bring up the Beirut incident,
as well as regarding the Marines, and possible will go for the TKO. I feel the
President has to be prepared for this type of encounter, and not to discount
anything that he might toss at the President. Keep the facts to a minimun, and
dwell on that we our at peace, no country is holding our citizens hostage, that
we have a stable foreign policy under Sec Schultz, as well as our improvements
that was made with the People's Republic in his tour last May.
Above all sir, the President can not have another off night on the tube. We gave
our opponent a new lease on life, lets not extend it any longer. I feel also
that too many fingers are pointing as to who was the blame on Oct 7th. Forget that
now, and concentrate on victory on Oct 21st, and with that which will carry on to
Nov 6th.
I feel it was a mistake to debate when you have the lead the President does, and
if you look at each year that an incumbent President debated, he has never won.
The President must and hasto be superb for Oct 21st, and must also be prepared
for anything and everything including hitting below the belt that will be brought
up at that time. We have to get back the momentum that we had up til Oct 7th.
On your tv ads, I would like to see the President and Vice President together,
which will show the American people how e have worked as a team for four years,
and will continue as a team for another four years. But riGht now we need David
Stockman with the President to help him prepare for Oct 21st.
Sincerely,
/

Dear Ken:
Re: President at Al Smith Dinner
October 18
I enclose a script based on Cardinal Cooke's visit
at the White House with our wounded President -- and RWR's
subsequent visit with the dying Cardinal. It is Solemn High
Schmalz, but I think RWR can make it sing if he believes in
it -- and edits. Obviously, only Reagan could have this
material -- or handle it.
Gov. Malcolm Wilson and Judge Bill Mulligan, my most
reliable advisors on the Al Smith event, both sternly admonish
that there be no light-weight one-liners from us this time.
Their advice is "be Presidential." I'm sure Malcolm will have
kittens if my "here I am again" line survives. Our friend
Ray Siller in Hollywood is also committed to call me Tuesday
with whatever one-liners he has and I'll call you soonest to
talk it over. Also, please have your researcher check what
happened re the Cardinal's lobbying for IDA (pages 3 and 4 of
script). I'm sure RWR honored the Cardinal's request -- but
it would be terrible to use that item if RWR ignored him.
Basically, my advice is much like that of 1980:
wear the white hat, avoid zingers and smart cracks, and
-2-
rely on the opposition to get himself booed at least once.
"Never did meet a Norwegian who could tell a joke," says
Mulligan.
The audience at the Waldorf will total about 2,000.
I hear Gerry Ferraro is trying to get invited;
I'm assured at the Chancery that it won't happen. Obviously
she should be handled with elaborate courtesy if she does
make it. I also hear the Gov. of New Jersey may show.
Plainly all of this is for the President's advance men to
check at the Chancery: 212-371-1000, ask for Father Moore,
Father Finn, Father Robbins, or Joe Zwilling.
Also, very important, RWR should get there at
6:30 and spend as much time as possible getting to know
Archbishop O'Connor. Notice he is not a Cardinal -- yet --
and therefore he is "Your Excellency" rather than "Your
Eminence."
Best wishes,
Hugh Hgh Morrow
(Tel.: 914-624-8467)
/s
Encl.
May it please Your Excellency, Archbishop 0' 'Connor;
Members of the Reverend Clergy;
Vice President Mondale;
Governor Cuomo;
Senators Moynihan and D'Amato;
Mayor Koch;
Mr. Toastmaster (Sonny Werblin);
Distinguished friends:
Well, here I am again, four years later, still
able to find my way to the Waldorf -- despite anything you
may have heard.
I'm glad I made it -- and honored to be here.
Four great Americans are with us in spirit here
tonight:
-- Al Smith, the happy warrior - whom time and
respect and affectionate memory have elevated beyond
partisanship;
-- the beloved Francis Cardinal Spellman, whose
remarkable works of charity so notably include his
establishment of this Al Smith Dinner 39 years ago;
-- the great Jewish philanthropist, Charles Silver,
who was enlisted by Cardinal Spellman as chairman of these
dinners and raised millions for hospitals serving all faiths;
-- and finally, Terence Cardinal Cooke, that gentle
soul whom I, for one, shall never forget.
2.
All of them are gone now -- gone to God -- Cardinal
Cooke and Charlie Silver within a year's passing.
And all of them personify the second Great
Commandment -- to love our fellow man.
Here we are, then, at the height of a season marked
by differences of opinion and clashes of ambition.
And yet all this striving and all these contesting
issues fade to insignificance in the clear light of example
these four men set for us, each in his own unique way:
Al Smith, in his lifelong struggles for the working
man and woman;
Cardinal Spellman as a Prince and builder of the
Church;
Charles Silver as a friend and colleague in
ecumenical service to humanity;
And Cardinal Cooke -- whom I knew best in
circumstances of dire spiritual need.
Nothing could have meant more to me -- and to
Nancy -- than Cardinal Cooke's visit with me at the White
House while I was recovering from young Mr. Hinckley's
unwelcome attentions.
His Eminence offered prayers and encouragement that
maintained us in a time of genuine personal need -- a need far
more serious, I suspect, than almost anyone else realized.
3.
And so it was only natural that Nancy and I should
be so profoundly grief-stricken upon learning in August of
last year that the Cardinal was dying.
Together, we telephoned our dear friend in New York
to tell him of our heartfelt prayers for him -- and to thank
him once again for all he had done to comfort and reassure us
in our hour of need.
Our prayerful concern for the Cardinal, I assured
him, was shared by millions of other Americans grateful for
all the Cardinal had done on behalf of his country.
His letter of September 15, which followed our call,
said our prayers, good wishes and loving concern "are a source
of great comfort to me."
"I want you to know that I am offering my prayers
and my sufferings for the gift of God's peace among all the
members of His human family," he wrote.
And then, being Terence Cooke, though suffering and
near the end, the Cardinal could not resist the opportunity to
do a little lobbying in behalf of a cause that concerned him:
"As a nation known for its compassion," the Cardinal
wrote, "the United States has accomplished so much through the
years in advancing the cause of international justice and peace
through its programs of economic assistance to the less
fortunate peoples of the world.
4.
"The full supplemental appropriation which you
approved this past summer for the International Development
Association has proved of immense help for those countries
which, like so many in sub-Saharan Africa, have a gross
national product of less than $1 per day.
"I respectfully suggest that consideration be given
this year to maintaining and even increasing our nation's
support of IDA's effective work. "
Needless to say, I heard him.
Even more significant of the dying prelate's
dedication is this account by the Archdiocese of our visit
with him:
"
on September 25, Cardinal Cooke was visited in
his sickroom by President and Mrs. Reagan.
"The Cardinal had been in great pain and discomfort
for the previous 48 hours.
"But he mustered the strength to receive the Reagans
and to talk with them
"The President of the United States was in town
and it was important that the Cardinal-Archbishop of New York
see him. "
Eleven days later, the Cardinal passed away.
"Good night, Sweet Prince. "
5.
I have presumed to share this personal experience
with you here tonight because it says much about our gentle
friend, Terence Cooke.
It says much also about Al Smith, and Cardinal
Spellman, and Charlie Silver -- for all four men are linked
by this occasion: linked in charity, linked in service,
linked in humanity.
I think it should make us proud to have known of
these great Americans and their works of love for their
fellow man.
I think it should make us just a little bit prouder
than ever to be Americans.
Archbishop O'Connor, I know you are profoundly
aware of the great tradition in which you now pursue God's
work. In this, you have my every good wish and those of a
grateful nation.

REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
AT AL SMITH DINNER
October 16, 1980
New York, New York
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Mr. Chairman, Archbishop
McGuire, President Carter, Governor Carey, Governor Burns, Governor
Wilson, Senator Javitz, Mayor Koch, Chalory Silver -- even though
he is not here. I'm sorry that he couldn't be with us this evening
P
because he represents, in a special way, the extraordinarily dedicated
citizens that New York produces. (Applause.)
His decades of service to education in this area, his
daily service to the Beth Israel Hospital, and to the programs of
the Smith Foundation are an inspiration, I think, to everyone who
knows about them. (Applause.)
The members of the Al Smith family, friends, and fellow
fans of the late, late show -- (Laughter.) First of all, I want to
thank His Eminence, Archbishop McGuire, for bringing us together at
last. (Applause.)
Here at the Waldorf Astoria, for this great public
occasion, here on this powerful platform with a nation in eager
attendance, sits a man whose every word has commanded my astonishment.
Long have I heard of his love for the people, his political sagacity,
his towering abilities. Long have I sympathized with his complaint
that the press fails to do him justice.
And now tonight, thanks to the
Cardinal Cook, I have come
and
McGuire, President Carter, Governor Carey, Governor Burns, Governor
Wilson, Senator Javitz, Mayor Koch, Chalory Silver -- even though
he is not here. I'm sorry that he couldn't be with us this evening

citizens that New York produces. (Applause.)

daily service to the Beth Israel Hospital, and to the programs of
the Smith Foundation are an inspiration, I think, to everyone who

attendance, sits a man whose every word has commanded my astonishment.
Long have I heard of his love for the people, his political sagacity,
his towering abilities. Long have I sympathized with his complaint
that the press fails to do him justice.
And now tonight, thanks to the graciousness of Terrence
Cardinal Cook, I have come face-to-face, at long last, with the wit
and wisdom of Judge William Hughes Mulligan. (Laughter.) (Applause.) sp
Well, judging from recent events in the national political
campaign, this dinner has come just in time. It brings us the gift
of laughter and perspective. And in the spirit of this happy occasion,
I'd like to scotch those rumors that recent interchanges have cut off
all communications between President Carter and myself. In fact, I
had a phone call the other night, and the voice sounded familiar.
"Ronnie,' my caller said, "how come you look youngah' every day when ah
see a new picshuh of you ridin' horseback?" (Laughter.) And I said,
"Well, Jimmie, that's easy, I just keep ridin' older horses."
(Laughter.) (Applause.)
But you know, there is no foundation for the rumor that
I'm the only one here who was at the original Al Smith dinner.
(Laughter.)
There's an old proverb that says! "Laughter is God's
hand on the shoulder of a troubled world. 11 This light evening has been
like an oasis in the campaign and I've enjoyed an opportunity to
refresh in it. Still, like every light moment we've had since last
November 4th, our concern for the fate of fellow Americans, held
hostage, keeps my pleasure from being complete.
MORE
- 2 -
Hope for the hostages' return has dominated the day's
news and, as usual, there's been much press and political speculation
of its possible impact on the campaign. But I want to say to every
American tonight that no one in America will rejoice more than I
when America's long wait for resolution of this crisis is over.
(Applause.)
Nothing so becomes a man as his generosity and compassion
in the face of adversity -- his grace under pressure. And the man
whose memory we honor tonight understood and exemplified this far
better than most mortals -- Al Smith. A great humanitarian, his
glorious spirit tempered the chill winds of poverty that swept through
the tenements of Oliver Street; champion of the poor, the humble,
the disadvantaged, the oppressed -- for he knew them all.
Up from the clamor of the Fulton Fish Market, to cleader=
ship of this great state and world-wide fame, he was an organic
New Yorker -- as New York as Staten Island Ferry, or New Year's Eve
in Times Square. An idealist in his goals, a realist in his politics,
a man who could make every government work by his pioneering and
reorganization of the executive branch; and, by his own great abilities
at working with the legislative branch, whether Democrat or Republican.
What a President he would have made. (Applause.)
He started out in life as an actor. (Laughter.) But
above all, Al Smith was man of peace, good will and profound faith.
As he once expressed it: "If we owe any debt of gratitude, we owe it
to Divine Providence ... to see that we, in some small measure repay
it, by taking care of the poor, the sick, the distressed, and the
afflicted, who were the objects of His special care during His time
on earth." Well, these are words that have inspired generations. These
are words that sum up the meaning of this night. They underscore the
significance of the dedicated effort through all these years that
Cardinal Cook, and Cardinal Spellman before him, have so usefully
pursued in memory of one of New York's greatest governors.
Al Smith could be humorous, or profound; scathing or
sympathetic, as the occasion warranted. Above all, he understood
human beings -- their problems, their faults, their inherent qualities,
and their magnificent potentialities. Al Smith has long since
disappeared from any partisan context. His memory evokes the very
best that is in our natures.

Let us cherish tonight's fellowship as a symbol of how
each of us can do better by his fellow man. Let us honor Al Smith's
memory by striving to repay the debt of gratitude to our Creator,
of which he spoke. And let us remember the courage of that lonely
figure, on a cold, November night in 1928. The man whose hopes of
leading our nation had turned to ashes -- not because he lacked
qualifications, but solely because of religious bigotry, which, thank
God, no longer dominates our national political scene. (Applause.)
And it was on that election night that suddenly, in that
silent mournful room, Al Smith broke the silence, looked up and
smiled. He said, "This is Katie's birthday. Let's all go upstairs
and cut the cake." That's what I call real class. Thank you.
(Applause.)
