MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON TO: Mike Deaver FROM: Helene von Damm $ DATE: October 15, 1982 SUBJECT: Invitation to Mike Curb for State Dinner You will recall our previous discussion about the possibility of inviting Mike to a State Dinner. Now that he has moved with his family full-time to Washington and taken over the fundraising activities at the RNC, I think an invitation would be most deserved.

Peter Grace will be in the Far East and Justice and Mrs. White will be in Colorado SO they will be unable to attend the dinner and film. Many of the sports figures including Merlin Olson would like very much to come but will not know if they can attend until close to October 24 because of the possibility of a settlement of the football strike. Sundays are game days and if the strike is settled by October 24 then many of these people will have obligations to fill. Are there two other couples whom you would like to substitute for the Whites and the Graces? Let me know and we will send out the invitations. Sportscrioters mou with Foothere THE WHITE HOUSE H.

He is in the NFL Hall of Fame, New York Giant linebacker, and did surrogate speaking in Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island for the President. I also think we might add some members of the President's Cabinet to this dinner. Would you let me know how to proceed?

I do everything in my power to keep the First Lady from being directly involved with the guest lists, but she did request the Eagles list and the only way we could get it was to say that she would like to look it over with the eye to future state dinners.

I understand that this list will be delivered by you to Mrs. Reagan so that she can personally determine who she would like to have invited to future state dinners at the White House. When it is determined which of these Eagles should be invited to the White House, we will, of course, be happy to make available to your office the appropriate addresses so that they can receive a White House invitation. As I indicated to you in our conversation, a list of Republican Eagles as such has never been made available to anyone and I believe the reason is obvious. Such a list would be the most valuable mailing list that anyone could obtain. If the First Lady's office would like to have a mailing made to certain individuals on the enclosed list for some purpose other than a White House dinner, we of course would be happy to mail from our office whatever she would like sent out. 310 First Street Southeast, Washington, D.C. 20003 (202) 484-6730 Mrs. Mabel Brandon September 23, 1982 Page 2 I, of course, want you to understand that we are anxious to cooperate in absolutely every way possible. It has been the policy, however, of every chairman of the Republican National Committee and every finance chairman since the Eagle program was started in 1975 not to make a mailing list of the Republican Eagles available at all. Please don't hesitate to call on me if I can be of any further assistance. Sincerely, Buckley M. Byers BMB/nb Enclosure CC: Richard Richards, RNC Chairman Mike Curb, RNC Finance Chairman Michael K.

HOOVER INSTITUTION HOOVER INSTRUCTION 1885 1919 ON WAR, REVOLUTION AND PEACE STANFORD LIVERSITY Stanford, California 94305 muffic returnito August 19, 1982 we we children amount Dear Mike: I just received your very kind letter about the Grove, and I very much appreciate it. The whole idea was that it would be relaxing and enjoyable and I am delighted that it proved to be SO (including naps). As far as the members of the Club are concerned, those who heard your fine piano playing will not forget it, and that will be very helpful in the future. Since receiving your letter I have begun the necessary steps for submission of a formal application. Since the Club's Membership Committee does not meet again until late September there is sufficient time to get the application in order for submission in the Fall (and I will be in touch with Shirley or Pat about it as we go along). I have just received the invitation for the Barks to attend the State Dinner for President Marcos and we are very appreciative. We know it will be a fine occasion and we would like nothing better than to attend such a special evening. To our great regret, we cannot come 1(6) -2- As you can well imagine, I hope it might be possible to have a "rain check.' But I also know that you have gone out of your way to have this invitation extended to us and we certainly cannot expect another unless it is convenient for you in the future. With my appreciation and I hope you will understand my predicament, and with warm regards, Cord ially, Dennis L. Bark Deputy Director The Honorable Michael K. Deaver Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 United States Department of State sile The Chief of Protocol Washington, D.C. 20520 August 11, 1982 MEMORANDUM FOR: S - Mr. Raymond G. H. Seitz FROM: S/CPR - Selwa Roosevelt SUBJECT: Office of Protocol Policy on Arrivals Recently my office has had some press inquiries as to the policy of the Chief of Protocol for greeting foreign dignitaries on their arrival. For your information and that of Secretary Shultz, here is a summary of our policy: State, Official, and Official Working Visits by Chiefs of State and Heads of Government The Chief of Protocol or the Deputy Chief of Protocol greet on arrival all chiefs of state and/or heads of government invited by the President for State, Official, and Official Working visits. If both are out of town, ill, or unable to greet, the next ranking official, Mr. Richard Gookin, Associate Chief of Protocol, takes over. If two such VIPs are here at the same time, the normal practice is for the Chief of Protocol to greet the ranking guest, and the Deputy to greet the next ranking. For example, a chief of state outranks a head of government. Also State and Official visits take precedence over Official Working visits. Private Visits In cases of Private visits by foreign dignitaries, neither the Chief of Protocol nor the Deputy greet on arrival. A protocol officer of lesser rank usually greets and is there simply to facilitate entry. Visits of Foreign Ministers Neither the Chief nor Deputy Chief of Protocol normally greet Foreign Ministers at the airport, but greet them at the State Department entrance when they come to call on the Secretary and/or at the White House when they come to call on the President. However, on occasion, the Chief or Deputy Chief of Protocol may receive instructions to greet a Foreign Minister on arrival when he/she is coming on a special mission. fale THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON January 15,1982 TO: MICHAEL DEAVER FROM: MUFFIE BRANDON melliz Brandar I have called Jane Weinberger and all is " on track." THE FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY MO WASHINGTON, D. C. 20003 ess Administered by the Trustees of Amberst College mupe O.B. HARDISON, JR. DIRECTOR Card thrike January 11, 1982 can anyou you Dear Mr. and Mrs. Deaver, The time has come to start planning our 1982 Benefit scheduled for the evening of April 22. This being the 50th Anniversary of the Folger Library, we want to have an extra special gala to celebrate the we June Seml $ occasion. We also need to raise much more money. Because we will be using the Reading Room, we are limited to 200 seats, and we have there- fore proposed selling the tickets at $1,000 each. We are going all out this year in an effort to pay off the remain- this ing deficits of our renovation project. The basic function of the Folger Library is, as you know, to preserve the great books of the world for all generations to come. TO fulfill this obligation, it became necessary to modernize the temperature and humidity control and to wirth provide greater security and additional space. All of this has been costly. pack We are well aware that many of our best friends and supporters have other projects and commitments which may prevent their participation in this event. There will be other less costly parties to which all will me? be invited. The Benefit will feature a reception at the White House, a dinner in the Reading Room, and a program by the noted actor, Mr. Ian McKellen. All of this will be taped for television and shown in conjunction with a special Shakespeare program being telecast throughout the country. We would like to have you as a member of our Executive Committee. This committee is viewed as a very high-powered ticket committee, and members should be responsible for the sale of at least two tickets. We are most hopeful that you will join us. Sincerely, Mrs. Weinberger Caspar Jone W. Mrs. Archibald B. Roosevelt, Jr. In your Case we will Wave (2) our quests.

The trouble was that Morgan Mason had assured me he would try to arrange it the next time the President had movie night, so I was very upset when I read that very morning there was to a be a showing of"ET" and I hadn't even had the opportunity to ask you ealier. The idea is very simple, if you can arrange it for me: The President Goes to the Movies. I know we cannot do it at Camp David, but surely it could be easily done here. We'd just be outside the WH theater, and ask how they liked the movie, whatever it was. Can you please ask the President for me? ntertainment Tonight, for which I am the corresponent here, shows on a syndicated network via ABC every night of the week. It is show-biz, fast paced, magazine format. And they keep asked when, when, when we can have something which to them seems simple, reasonable and essential - the former movie star who became president going to the movies. It's totally apolitical, so after trying back XXXXXX asking once again. for months, through calls to you, to Larry Speakes, to Morgan Mason, I'm now I should not imagine there will be any movie night like last night's before July I5, when I go away for five weeks. But can you please tell me in principle, whether you think I can do a movie night in the Fall? Also, while I have your attention, I so much wished, last week at that Second Genesis party, that we could arrange a kind of focus on your piano ask playing, somehow, soon, at some party. Will you think about that? If you are playing at some other function like that evening, we could bring a crew. Or anywhere it would suit you - either before July I5 or after Sept. I////??????

THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 14, 1982 MEMORANDUM FOR: MICHAEL DEAVER FROM: MUFFIE BRANDON reffer Brinder SUBJECT: Enclosed William Clark Request I would like to be guided by your judgement on this request, but I do feel that if Robert McFarlane and Mr. and Mrs. Neri and Mr. and Mrs. Yarba all are included upstairs in the Indian dinner it is going to throw the quotas completely out the window. We simply don't have enough room at these Presidential dinners and Mrs. Reagan has informed me that she wishes the size of them to be cut down. The last dinner was much too big and very crowded and the butlers had a difficult time serving the meal. I am most sympathetic to Bill Clark's request but need some guidance from you on exactly how to handle this. We simply don't have room.

They should all be seated in the upper dining room. It would be appreciated if Howard Teicher and Geoffrey Kemp of the NSC staff be included on the guest list for seating in the lower dining room.

United States Department of State The Chief of Protocol Washington, D.C. 20520 June 16, 1982 sill MEMORANDUM TO : Mr. Michael Deaver The White House FROM : S/CPR - Selwa Roosevelt SR I have been asked to relay this request to your people by the Paris Embassy Political Section as follows: To develop contacts with rising young French politicians, the Embassy's internal political section makes 3-4 trips to selected provinces each month. Such contacts have taken on even more significance due to the Miterrand Adminis- tration's initiative to decentralize political responsibilities in France. Gifts of any type with the President's or the Secretary's Seal are highly effective in establishing a good tone for these meetings. Forty such gifts would be one year's supply. I urge you to give an immediate OK on this. Should I be in touch with Mr. Rogers as to whom it should be directed in the Embassy and method of conveyance?

He has approved the site from the security point of view and feels that it will be a very safe and secure event for the President and Mrs. Reagan. I am now working closely with the Administrative Office of the New York Philharmonic to work out all the details and will have a final scenario for you within a few weeks and a vastly reduced budget. Thank you for your kind attention.
