Dear Bob:
As we begin this new Administration, the President has once again placed
the Private Sector Initiatives Program at the top of his agenda. I look
forward to working closely with you and the Advisory Council members to
continue the successes of the program during the first term.
Fred Ryan, the Director of Presidential Appointments and Scheduling, will
be assuming responsibility for the office of Private Sector Initiatives. He
has been a strong supporter of the P.S.I. program and is eager to work
with you in directing the program into the new Administration.
You will be hearing directly from Fred soon, but I wanted to inform you
personally of this change.
Best wishes.
Sincerely,
mike

Dear Mr. Deaver:
I was surprised at the report of the announcement by
President Reagan on January 3 that you are going to resign
as deputy chief of staff to the President in this spring.
It was gratifying to me, however, that the President was
reported to mention his high appreciation of you and his
ardent wish to continue close ulationship with you at the press
conference.
According to the uport, you will take a public relations
job. If it is so, I wonder if I can be of service to you in
Japan, as I have had many close relations with the people
Concerned with the public viations in Japan. I would
appreciate very much if you inform me how I can communicate
with you after your resignation.
May I take this opportunity to express my hearty thanks
to your kind consideration extended to me during your present
post and to express my sincere hope for the continuation of
our close relations in future.

Dear Nacky:
The President has asked me to thank you for your kind invitation
to visit New Hampshire in March. Your state holds many happy
memories for him. And, as the election returns showed, that
warm feeling is reciprocated.
In regard to visiting New Hampshire this spring, I regret that
the schedule for his trip to Canada is such that we will not
be able to stop by your state. He will be visiting Canada for
only overnight and will be returning immediately to Washington
for a State Visit from the President of Argentina.
The spring will also certainly be an important time for the
President as he continues his work on the programs he will
highlight in his State of the Union Address next week. As
you know, there is always SO much to do.
I'm sorry I couldn't be more positive but the schedule isn't
flexible at this time to do otherwise.

Dear Nacky:
The President has asked me to thank you for your kind
invitation to visit New Hampshire. Your state is a place
of many happy memories for the President, and as the e-
election returns showed, that warm feeling is recipro-
cated.
Unfortunately, the President will not be able to visit
New Hampshire in the near future. The President's trip
to Canada would seem to offer the ideal opportunity, but
his schedule is so tight that a New Hampshire stop will
not be possible
I know that you are as excited as I am by the President's
bold initiatives in the fields of domestic and foreign af-
fairs. Therefore I am sure that you will understand that
the President needs to spend every spare moment in Washington,
in order to make sure that his agenda is acted on by the
Congress.

over the years. Please keep in touch.

Dear Ron:
I recently noted in U.S. News and World Report the following
item concerning your plans:
Reagan's decision to make his first
1985 foreign trip a journey to Que-
bec in mid-March is welcomed by his
political advisers. The President gets
along famously with Canada's new
Prime Minister, fellow conservative
Brian Mulroney, and no issues be-
tween the two nations are believed
serious enough to cause a major flare-
up that would mar the visit.
As you look at the map, you will notice that New Hampshire is
situated between Quebec and Washington, D.C. Therefore, a stop
in this fine State should not create too much of a problem.
As you can see, I am a person who does not give up easily,
SO that you will be hearing from me fairly regularly on the
subject of coming to New Hampshire.
Sincerely,
Nackey

5/3/1603
Dear Mike:
Because of your continuing friendship over the past four
years, I have been able to build a low-key, highly rewarding indepen-
dent consulting practice in Washington, D.C. and Sacramento.
It all began, of course, with your recommendation to Loyd
Hackler that the American Retail Federation employ me for White House
relations. Hackler, in addition to steering me into several successful
business investments, introduced me to his former partner, Bob Strauss,
and others from across the aisle. Those contacts and others led to
requests for personal services and, soon, Loyd and I agreed that it
was in our mutual interest for me to work under a consulting arrange-
ment with A.R.F., freeing me to represent other clients as well on
a bipartisan basis.
Meanwhile, several additional government affairs opportunities
opened in Sacramento, largely through referrals of State Senator
Dan Boatwright and his staff director, Barry Brokaw. Thus, I moved
my family back to Sacramento and took an apartment in Washington,
shuttling between the two cities.
Today, thanks to a discreet bipartisan network and a successful
track record on behalf of my clients, I am forced -- happily enough --
to lay off special projects into the hands of several associates,
Democrats and Republicans.
At the risk of boring you to death, I come finally to my
point: If there is a local market for my services, there is a global
market for yours. During the past two months, in fact, hardly a day
has gone by when someone hasn't asked me the question: "Is Mike Deaver
going to get back into consulting?"
I write, Mike, to ask you to consider another among what I
know is a host of career options as you prepare to depart the White House.
Stating the obvious, the option is, of course, private consulting.
925 L Street, Suite 1490, Sacramento, California 95814
Mr. Michael K. Deaver
January 8, 1985
Page Two
Specifically, I would like your permission to establish for you
during the next two months --- quietly and discreetly - a hard list
of potential clients which would enable you, should you choose, to
hit the ground running as an independent consultant.
My first interest is, of course, to work with you in one
capacity or another. That aside, I would be personally honored to do
for you anything I can during your hiatus between public and private
life.
I would like to meet with you personally at your earliest
convenience to discuss this subject in detail.
Sincerely,
day

3.
Q.
Likes/dislikes of present job?
A.
I've had a unique opportunity to serve Ronald and Nancy
Reagan and to influence history. There is no place
in the world like the White House. It's a place of
tremendous highs and lows -- one day you may be welcoming
home the hostages from Iran, on another you may be making
arrangements for the President to attend a memorial
service for Marines killed in Lebanon.
One drawback is that there's no time to smell the
roses. You can't really appreciate the experience
until you get out.
3b.
Q.
Could you please comment on why leaving present
job?
A.
The demands of my job are 24 hours a day. The
sacrifices in terms of family time are tremendous.
It's not a pace that can be sustained for eight years.
4.
Q.
General feelings toward effectiveness of PR in the
Administration?
A.
Our greatest asset in communicating to the public has been
the President himself -- his personality and his record.
Ronald Reagan's warmth, self-confidence, courage and
optimism are all qualities Americans positively relate to
and recognize in him. He has a special ability to
understand and articulate the concerns of average
Americans.
Our challenge has been to help present Ronald Reagan the
man and his vision of the future to the public as openly
and directly as possible.
Based on the President's record of achievement in the
first term and his overwhelming reelection victory, I'd
say we've had some measure of success.
5.
Q. Future direction or thrust (re: public image) in the
Administration?
A.
Communications in the second term will continue in the
same direction. Ronald Reagan and his policies remain
the same. The President wants to accomplish in his
second term what he couldn't in the first. And based
on his achievements in his second term as governor,
he'll succeed.
6. Q. Any ethical issues or dilemmas faced which you'd care
to discuss?
A. One of the big pluses in working for Ronald Reagan is
that you don't have ethical dilemmas. There is no more
decent, honest, kind, truly Christian man than he.
7. Q. What made you decide to enter this field?
A. I've always enjoyed the problem-solving challenges
associated with public relations -- the analysis of an
issue and the development and implementation of a
strategy.
8. Q. Total honesty and open communication seem to be a
rallying cry for today's PR professional. Any feelings
on this?
A. Honesty and open communications have been the
principles we've followed at the White House. They're
essential for any credible public relations
professional.
9. Q. HOW do you measure your effectiveness or success?
A. My job is to help Ronald Reagan achieve his goals as
President. I'm only successful if he is.
10. Q.
It has been said that you "polish" the President. How
important do you feel this service is for Mr. Reagan?
A.
I help the President govern smoothly by providing the
back-up to the ship-of-state. Every President needs
someone behind the scenes, tracking down details,
putting the pieces together, making sure that
everything runs smoothly.
10b.
Q. Do you see this as a service to the country
itself, as well?
A.
Yes, in serving the President and helping him
achieve his objectives, I try to serve the nation.
11. Q.
The President won the election by a landslide for many
reasons. Do you see your work as having any influence on
the election at all?
A.
Ronald Reagan won reelection because of the kind of man
he is, his accomplishments in making the future a
brighter one for all Americans and his vision of America.
Our job in the campaign was to help him most effectively
articulate and present his message.
12. Q.
In a nutshell, what do you do anyway -- what is your job?
(see #10)
13. Q. How many hours per week do you put in?
A.
As I said earlier, this job is 24 hours a day. My hours
at the office typically run 12 hours a day, 6 1/2 days a
week.
14.
Q.
How large a staff do you handle?
A.
Counting all the various functions for which I'm
responsible at the White House, some 75 people work
under me.
15. Q.
Greatest achievement?
A.
The most memorable occasion in my four and a half years
at the White House was the time the President and Mrs.
Reagan and I had lunch with Mother Teresa. She was so
inspiring and such a gentle person.
16. Q. Any embarrassment which now seems somewhat amusing?
?
17. Q. HOW does one get a PR job in government?
A. One can enter government PR jobs by two different
routes. One, the career route, is to seek a civil
service job in the public affairs office at any one of the
departments or agencies. The second, the political path,
is the one I took. By working for a party or candidate,
you can hope to earn a political (non civil-service) job
with your candidate once he/she is elected. Before I went
to Sacramento to help Governor Reagan in his transition, I
had been working with the local Republican Party in Santa
Barbara.
18. Q. Aside from salary differentials, which is more satisfying
to work in, public or private practice?
A. Public and private practice each have their own
satisfactions. While in the private sector you can never
get the tremendous national exposure for your work day
after day that you do in the White House, that's not to
say that the satisfaction in the private sector for a job
well done or a difficult challenge met and overcome isn't
just as great as in government.
19. Q. Any recommendations as to how a student can best
prepare for entry level position in Public Relations?
A. Courses in journalism would especially prepare a student
interested in a public relations career. I've found that
good writers are rare and always in demand.
20. Q. Does the White House hire interns? (not my question --
I'm looking for a real job!)
A. Yes, each White House office has a limited number of
intern positions allocated to it. Someone interested
in a White House internship should apply directly to
the office in which they want to work.

Mr. Deaver;
to were 1st over a at A no
I am senior at St. Bonaventure University in Western New
York, expecting to graduate in May to enter the field of Public
Relations. I am somewhat familiar with your work and have a great
deal of respect for you. It seemed fitting then, when assigned to
interview a PR professinal, I thought instantly of you.
I realize what sort of a busy schedule you have, especially
in your transition from the White House to private enterprise.
However, astan I aspiring PR practitioner, your insights would prove
quite valuable for me and I would be very grateful for your time
and consideration.
As it is, I wouldn't expect it to take much time. Originally,
I hadathought of a taped phone interview, but I don't want to
impose on you. I have included a list of every question I'd ask.
If you could find the time to schedule a phone interview, I'd be
more than thrilled to talk to you personally, and I'd call your
office at any time convenient for your schedule. Other than that,
if you could mail back short replies to my questions, that, of
course, would be more than sufficient for my class needs as well.
I thank you for your consideration and hope to hear from you
soon. Good luck in your new enterprises - I'm sureait won't be as
hectic as the White House was, at least!
Sincerely,
William

Dear Mr. Burris:
I was recently informed of your request to receive the
President's backing for the El Toro/Red Lion fund raiser
in California. Neil and I certainly agree that it is a
worthwhile undertaking and we have shared this with
General P. X. Kelley. The Commandant has advised me
that he has been thoroughly briefed on the proposal to
honor Mr. Hope and further, that he supports Brigadier
General Bloomer's plan to appoint Mr. Hope an honorary
general in the U.S. Marine Corps. I will brief the
President at the earliest opportunity and we will endeavor
to provide a White House representative.
Thank you for your support of this fund raising effort
and for your continuing interest in the United States
Marine Corps.
Sincerely,
MICHAEL K. DEAVER
Assistant to the President
Deputy Chief of Staff
