I urge that you look at it carefully because I believe it has considerable merit. I think that there's nothing wrong with rewarding a good Republican who has worked hard for the party even though he may have gotten caught in the backlash of Watergate. I'm con- fident that Stans could be approved for Senate confirmation even though I know that some Demo- crats would try to make political hay out of it. Frankly, I don't think that such an appoint- ment would cost us a single vote and I think, on the contrary, many old line Republicans would be pleased that the President would have the political courage to appoint Stans to something. Again, I urge you to take a close look at this case on the merits. I don't think it's a place in which we need to be timid. 1605 NEW HAMPSHIRE AVENUE. N.W. WASHINGTON, D.C. 20009 (202) 332-4030 ROBERT H. FINCH 301 EAST COLORADO BOULEVARD. SUITE 704 PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 91101 January 4, 1983 The Honorable Ronald Reagan The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: The many friends and admirers of Maurice H. Stans (among whom I certainly count myself) continue our efforts to obtain a presidential appointment at an appropriate level for him because of our sure knowledge that such an appoint- ment would benefit the nation, your administration and the Republican party. This request to you is founded not simply on the grounds of our respect for his abilities, nor overdue vin- dication for untrue and unfair allegations against him per- sonally, but also on his many years of service to the Republican party and to each Republican President from Dwight Eisenhower to the present. Those of us who have been privileged to serve in high public office take deep pride in such tenure because it involves the respect of our colleagues and a feeling of accomplishment. That precious sense of having fulfilled a stewardship is necessarily fragile and is prejudiced when an office holder and his service are attacked for partisan and unjustified reasons. Such is clearly the case with Maury Stans, and the short list of those who have been most criti- cal of him confirms the adage that a man is known by his critics as well as his friends. A number of us have been fortunate enough to serve in the heady atmosphere of the White House or in the Cabinet under recent Republican Presidents, but it is the mark of very few to have labored in the "out years" when the opposi- tion was in power. This is where Maury's outstanding ser- vices to the Republican leadership in the period 1961-1968 deserves particular recognition. In four of those years he worked for many weeks with the GOP minority leadership in the Senate and House to examine and critique the Kennedy and The Honorable Ronald Reagan Page Two January 4, 1983 Johnson budgets in light of his own unique experience as Director of the Budget under President Eisenhower. All of this was done on his own time and at his own expense because in those days the minority leadership was denied anything like the staff support which both sides of the aisle have today. In the other years he labored as a hard-working com- mittee chairman of the Republican Coordinating Committee under Dwight Eisenhower. All this is in addition to his record-breaking raising of campaign funds in two presiden- tial elections. A chronology of events relating to a possible Swedish ambassadorship as well as nomination to the OPIC Board, together with a list of Maury's supporters for both posi- tions, are attached. Each of his supporters has a slightly different but equally telling reason for his support for recognition of Maury. Senator Howard Baker, for example, when the press carried stories in early 1981 that Maury was being considered for Ambassador to Sweden, responded publicly to a question by stating, "Stans would make an excellent Ambassador to Sweden -- or for that matter to any other country. Of all the people I saw before the Watergate Committee, he came closer than anybody else to getting a bum rap. I never thought for a moment he was guilty of culpable crime. " This is not to attempt to identify a specific post for your consideration, which, of course, would be presumptuous. It is to appeal to a sense of fair play and a recognition of outstanding loyalty to nation and to party. An appointment in your administration which takes advantage of Maury's background and incredible array of talents will not only rebound to the benefit of the Republic but will underscore the fact that unique service to our party and its principles is important and appreciated by those who are its benefi- ciaries. The normal step of marshalling again the already evi- dent support for Maury from his friends in the Senate, including at least ten members who know him well, and from The Honorable Ronald Reagan Page Three January 4, 1,983 his supporters in the administration and in the party, would seem to be redundant but could easily be arranged if such a demonstration is desirable. In preference to that, I would urge that you allow me to evidence my own deep conviction by presenting this case to you in person. In the likely event of a conclusion that Maury's best contribution would be in foreign affairs, I would follow with a meeting with the Secretary of State or other appropriate officials. Yours very truly, ROBERT H. FINCH RHF: cm Enclosures CHRONOLOGY REGARDING WASHINGTON APPOINTMENT FOR STANS 1. Shortly after the Reagan election in 1980 Stans discussed with several people in the administration his interest in a possible appointment as an ambassador. On the basis of their encouragement, he visited Washington in March, 1981 and secured the promised support and endorse- ments from a number of individuals in the White House and elsewhere in the government and from other influential Republicans. 2. In the ensuing months he received repeated assurances from various persons in the administration that he would be named ambassador to Sweden. The White House released a trial balloon to that effect which drew a strong public endorsement from Senator Howard Baker. The only negative view was expressed by Common Cause. 3. Despite further continuing assurances from individuals in the White House no action occurred on the matter until October 13, 1981 when Pen James telephoned Stans to say that the appointment to Sweden was not possible but that the White House "wanted to do something" so had worked out a plan for Stans to be appointed to the Board of Overseas Private Investment Corporation, and that after he had held that for a year or so he would be given an ambassadorial post. 4. After usual FBI and other investigations, which produced nothing derogatory, the nomination to OPIC was sent to Congress by the White House in November 1981. The first political opposition then became evident, when it was learned that Senators Sarbanes, Tsongas and Biden intended to oppose the nomination on alleged Watergate grounds and had secured the unanimous backing of all the Democrat members of the Foreign Relations Committee. Under those circumstances there was no time for a hearing before the close of the 1981 session, and the nomination was sent back from the Senate to the White House, as is customary. Meanwhile, there were some. negative media reports and editorials and Archibald Cox announced that he would testify against Senate confirmation. - 2 - 5. In January 1982 the White House staff expressed some concern about the opposition to the nomination by the Democrats in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee but told Stans that if Howard Baker assured the White House he could handle the nomination successfully it would be re-submitted to the Senate. Stans, therefore, with assistance from the White House staff and many outside friends, arranged to contact the individual Committee members for their support. As a result, Baker indicated that he had the votes of all the Republicans, and that he also had received a commitment from Democrat Senator Cranston. Several other Democrats told Stans they were sympathetic but noncommittal, saying they would wait for the hearing before deciding. 6. Around the first of March, 1982 Stans met with Baker and a White House representative in Baker's office at which time Baker said that he was prepared to handle the nomination and was confident it would be confirmed. He asked that the White House re-submit it right away for prompt action. Stans also received the commitment of Democratic Senator Zorinski. With all nine Republicans in support, this would have produced an expected vote of 11 to 6 in the Foreign Relations Committee and actual voting may have been more favorable after all testimony. Democrat Senator Moynihan promised to work for confirmation in the Senate floor. 7. However, the nomination was not forthcoming from the White House, which presumably had some concern about difficulties with other nominations and wanted them cleared up first, and there was a prolonged delay. 8. Early in June the White House stated to Stans' representative that it had been decided that the OPIC nomination would not be sent back to the Senate but that immediately after the November elections Stans would be given an appointment to an important post not requiring Senate confirmation. 9. In November Stans' representative was informed that no appointment of any kind would be forthcoming. WHY STANS DESERVES AN APPOINTMENT 1) He is highly qualified He served effectively and with distinction as Director of the Budget under President Eisenhower and as Secretary of Commerce under President Nixon. In private life he has been the executive partner of a national firm of certified public accountants, the president of one of the country's largest banking systems, and president of a large Wall Street investment banking firm. In all this activity he built a reputation for ability and integrity. 2) He is well known to President Reagan When Stans was Director of the Budget they shared speakers platforms on occasion and exchanged notes for speeches. When Stans wrote his book after the Watergate affair Reagan endorsed it enthusiastically in his column and over the air, in terms complimentary to Stans and his integrity. They have met and corresponded at various times over the years. 3) Stans was unscathed by Watergate Despite his presence in the 1972 campaign as finance chairman, and untold accusations that he participated in Watergate or was guilty of campaign law violations, Stans was not found guilty of a single wilfull infraction. While he paid a fine on a few technical counts, the Federal judge who reviewed the evidence stated specifically that the offenses were not wilfull and happened in good faith. 4) Stans can be helpful to the administration By reason of his experience in public accounting, commercial banking and investment banking, and in two Cabinet positions in government, he is qualified in domestic and international finance, domestic commerce, foreign trade, overseas investment, small business, minority enterprise, and international relations. He can be helpful in many ways. 5) Stans assisted the Reagan campaign He assisted the staff in the identification of prospective contributors, located and proposed Dan Terra to be the finance chairman for the campaign, identified desirable and undesirable fund-raisers, and himself was a maximum contributor. 6) The Republican party is heavily indebted to Stans In addition to direct service to two administrations, he has volunteered his time and ability to the party in numerous ways. In 1962, he was finance chairman of Nixon's campaign for the governorship of California. Between 1961 and 1965 he was chairman of several fund-raising events in Los Angeles, including a major dinner and rally of the Goldwater campaign. In the same period he was chairman of a task force on fiscal and monetary policies of the Republican Coordinating Committee headed by Eisenhower; he produced four important reports. In the Kennedy and Johnson, administra- tions, when Republicans on the Congressional appropriations committees had little or no staffing, he spent six weeks a year for four years, unpaid, in Washington reviewing the Federal budget in detail and giving Republican members a line-by-line analysis with his advice and rationale on reductions to be made. In 1968 and again in 1972 he was finance chairman for Nixon's campaigns, devoting more than three years to them. Not many individuals have voluntarily given more to their party. 7) Stans can handle any criticisms While he may be maligned by some Democrats and media because of his relationships with President Nixon and his proximity to Watergate, Stans is ready to combat any inferences of guilt by association and is eager to appear in any forum. He is competent to handle any such matter in a way that will not embarrass the administration. Even though it was evident, when he was nominated late in 1981 to the OPIC board, that certain Senators had set out to oppose his confirmation on alleged Watergate grounds, he was able to enlist a working majority of the Foreign Relations Committee, including two Democratic members; and Senator Moynihan committed to support the nomination on the Senate floor. 8) Stans has strong endorsements He has been specifically endorsed by Republican Senators Baker, Percy, Stevens, Goldwater, Thurmond, Tower, Dole, Wallop, Laxalt, Warner, Lugar, and others and by Democratic Senator Moynihan; by Ambassadors Anne Armstrong, Max Rabb, Arthur Burns, Ted Cummings, Mark Austad, Dan Terra, and others; by Congressmen Michel and Evans; by Vice President Bush, Lyn Nofziger, Richard Allen, William Casey and other members of the executive branch; by former Secretaries Rumsfeld, Finch, Lynn, Simon, Connally, Kissinger and more; by Bryce Harlow, Jerry Millbank, Mike Curb, Robert Gray, Russell Kirk, Don Kendall, Peter Flanigan, Richard Richards, and Ed Brooke; and by many large contributors to the party. He was also endorsed in a letter by former President Gerald Ford, who is well acquainted with Stans' valuable services to the Republican party between 1961 and 1965.

We will be pleased to consider you for any positions in the area of education that will benefit from your expertise. We very much appreciate your desire to serve the Administration. With best wishes, Sincerely, J.A.D. therp T. A. D. Tharp Executive Assistant to the Assistant to the President for Presidential Personnel Mr. Alexander Tennant 38 Atlantic Street Lynn, Massachusetts 01902 CC: Michael K. Deaver 152704 Winchester Public Schools Winchester, Massachusetts 01890 June 20, 1983 Mr. Michael K. Deaver Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Dear Mr. Deaver: Per my discussion with your secretary and being unable to contact you by telephone, I am forwarding information to you that will be, I hope, beneficial to both of us. We met the night of the inaugural ball two and a half years ago. I was the "young republican" from Massachusetts at the Kennedy Center - a matter that was discussed with some humor that evening. My wife and I spent several hours with Bill Brock, Senator Laxalt and yourself discussing the Presidents inaugural address and the impact that it had on the country as well as each of us. Perhaps you will remember that some months following the ball, we sent you a snapshot of all of us together and a short note informing you that we had just had our first child, whom we named Raegan the youngest republican in Massachusetts. I am very interested in public education and believe the Presidents approach to improving it is correct. In 1975, I was elected and served for almost six years as a school committee- man and chairman of the Swampscott school committee - = well respected school system in Massachusetts. I was one of the only school committee members in this state who actively and openly supported Proposition 2%. Needless to say, public education has survived Proposition 2%. In fact, in many communities, public education is now being managed much more efficiently and effectively. In August, I will complete my doctoral studies at Harvard, in the field of educational administration. My dissertation is on "The Changing Politics of Local School Budgeting In Massa- chusetts - A Case Study of the Boston Public Schools. " Without boring you, let me just say that with less dollars the Boston Public Schools, the largest school system in New England, will finish this fiscal year in the most sound fiscal and educational Page 2 shape in almost a decade. In short, the system is being managed in a more orderly and disciplined fashion. Additionally, there was for the first time a proposal and funds from the business community to pay eight or nine outstanding teachers merit pay ($6, 500 each) but the idea was killed by the teachers union. These concepts - accountability and competition for teachers, and better local management - are ones that President Reagan and his administration are espousing. Reagan's approach, not the old solution of pouring more federal dollars into local schools, is the best hope for public education in the long run. Boston newspapers and Democrats are attacking the President because of his statements on total dollars for education (i.e. federal, state and local) versus defense appropriations. If the President was given some facts that appear to be misleading, and it seems he was, I hope that this will not become the focal point of analysis in terms of his public education position. If I can help President Reagan in any way (i.e. through research at Harvard, by utilizing my experience as a young active educator or as a spokesperson in Massachusetts for the Presidents views on public education) please feel free to contact me. I certainly hope the President is running for reelection because the "New beginning" he started has in fact turned this country around. I am enclosing my resume in order to provide you with some more background about myself. Recently, I was hired in Vinchester, Massachusetts and I am one of the younger Directors for Personnel in educational administration in the country. In closing, if I can be of help on any task force, com- mittee OF as a resource person in the area of public education for the administration please let me know. One final note about my family. We now have another Thylor, who was just born on Nother's Day. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Alexander T. Tennant Alexander T.

TOM'S A GOOD MAN who will SUPPORT The PRESIDENT- ASK ED ROLLINS- -Bal WILLIAM deaver SPECIAL ASSISTANT THE CHARLES PASHAYAN. JR. 129 CANNON BUILDING MEMBER OF CONGRESS WASHINGTON. D. C. 20515 17TH DISTRICT CALIFORNIA (202) 225-3341 Alexandria, Virginia April 13, 1983 Mrs. Elizabeth H. Dole The Secretary of Transportation 400 7th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20590 Dear Mrs. Dole: For several months last year it was my privilege to serve as a Special Assistant to Robert W. Blanchette, the Federal Rail- road Administrator. During that time I handled Congressional correspondence, liaison to the National Transportation Safety Board, participated in Cost Avoidance, Reduction, and Efficiency (CARE) reviews, and performed various related tasks. I left FRA in January of this year to join the staff of Congressman Charles "Chip" Pashayan. During the time that I served with Bob Blanchette, I worked on a daily basis with Thomas A. Till, the Deputy Administrator, who is being considered as for the position of Administrator. Tom Till is, in my judgement, eminently qualified for the position of Federal Railroad Administrator. He has a thorough knowledge of the industry and of the people in it, has served in FRA during two Republican administrations, and is respected by key administrative personnel and the rank and file in FRA. Tam's quiet, foreceful management style, combined with his intimate working knowledge of the accomplishments and goals of Bob Blanchette, will provide for a smooth transition and continuity not possible with the appointment of someone from outside the agency. I respectfully urge your careful consideration of Tom Till for the position of Federal Railroad Administrator. Sincerely yours, WILLIAM H. DEAVER 316 North Royal Street CC: Michael K. Deaver Alexandria, Virginia 22314 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 13, 1983 Dear David: Thanks for your input regarding Donna Tuttle for the position of Under Secretary of Commerce for Travel and Tourism. I have taken the liberty of forwarding your letter to the proper person in the Presidential Personnel office. You can be assured she will receive serious consideration for this position when the matter is brought before us. Sincerely, MICHAEL K.

Murdock June 4, 1983 CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD Thank AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER The Honorable Malcolm Baldrige The Secretary of Commerce 14th and Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20230 My dear Mr. Secretary: Regarding the position of Under Secretary of Commerce for Travel and Tourism, I am pleased to express my admiration and respect of Mrs. Donna Tuttle and to outline a few reasons for recommending her for appointment to this important post. During the past six years through my activities in the Republican Party, I have worked closely with Mrs. Tuttle, most recently in her capacities as state finance director and state finance chairman for candidates in California's gubenatorial races. Through the force of her own energy and ability she has achieved a notable career in the California political system and has attained a reputation of being one of the most civic-minded citizens of our community. Her quick comprehension promptly establishes her as a leader. As a leader, her intellect and articulate manner enable her to impartially and firmly delegate responsibilities and motivate individuals toward achieving the end result. Mrs. Tuttle's personal qualities and behavior are exemplary. Her commitment and devotion to family are strong. She is able to adapt to the rigors of a career yet preserve the quality of life for her husband and children. I would be pleased to offer additional information and welcome your call or letter. Sincerely yours, cc: The Honorable Michael K. Deaver Deputy Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President Mr. Joseph Ryan Office of Presidential Personnel THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 6, 1983 Dear Peter: I want to thank you for taking the time to recommend Donna Tuttle for the position of Under Secretary for Tourism. I have also known her for a number of years and know her capabilities. I have forwarded your letter to our Personnel Office, where your recommendation will be given careful consideration. Sincerely, mike MICHAEL K. DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Mr. Peter V. Ueberroth President Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee Los Angeles, California 90084 Peter V. Ueberroth President May 26, 1983 Mr. Michael K. Deaver Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff The White House - West Wing Washington, D. C. 20500 Dear Mike: The purpose of this letter is to recommend Donna Tuttle for the position of Under Secretary for Tourism. I have known Donna for many years and she is really a fine individual. I feel she has the energy and ability to really be effective in this role. I also believe she can accomplish a great deal in the area of balance of payments and employment through tourism without a huge increase in government funding. As you know, I was a former chairman of the Travel Associations of America (TIA) and also was the owner of a travel business with offices in over 100 cities throughout the country and I make this recommendation in a most confident and sincere way. I think Donna Tuttle would be a positive appoint- ment and a credit to the administration. Best personal regards. When Peter V.
