Dear Mr. Deaver:
I recently had the pleasure to meet your sister, Susan Deaver Strahan,
in Mojave during the OAS /NASA trip of 66 students from the Caribbean and
Latin America. The students took part in a program beginning at Cape Ken-
nedy, then to Houston's Manned Space Center, and then to Edwards Air Force
Base.
The people of Mojave were more than kind to their visitors, and left
with the students a vivid impression of the American Way of life. In
particular, Susan's interest and attentions to us made the time in Mojave
memorable. Those of Mojave are very proud of you with good reason.
As Deputy Director of Science and Technology for the OAS, my responsi-
bilities coincide often with the goals set by the United States for Latin
America and the Caribbean. I hope someday to have the opportunity to visit
with you personally concerning the role the OAS might have in implementing
US aspirations for this strategic area.
Sincerely,
Haramar

Dear Doug:
I'm sorry to be SO late in responding to
your letter but I haven't had time to sit
down and look at your proposal.
It's not clear to me that over the long run
there is any savings or increased value but
I've sent your ideas on to our accountant
in San Francisco.
Everything is moving along although each week
gets a little tougher with the Press and the
Congress.
We spent Thanksgiving in Washington and will
spend Christmas at Williamsburg.
Say hello to all.

Dear Mike:
During recent months rates for term life insurance have experienced
a drastic reduction.
For that reason, I have enclosed an illustration for $150,000 of term
life insurance with Security-Connecticut Life Insurance Company. This
company is rated A (excellent) by Best's Life Insurance Reports.
You will note that there are two sets of rates. The rates on the left
hand side of the illustration are the current rates, and the rates on
the right hand side of the illustration are the maximum rates that
could be charged. Rate structures of this nature are now the norm.
It is our feeling that companies will not substantially increase rates
in the future; an action of that nature would have the effect of forcing
those individuals who were still insurable to obtain insurance elsewhere,
thus leaving the company with the poorer risks.
Also enclosed is a summary of future premiums for your current Crown
Life Insurance Company policy. As you can readily see a change would
be very much to your advantage.
I have enclosed a blank original application and a copy of same.
Should you elect to follow my recommendation, please complete the copy
of the application as best you can and sign where indicated with a
circled "X" on the original. I will call you to get any information
that you do not enter and which is not in my file.
Also enclosed is a medical examination form. You need only to take
this to a physician and have it completed; send the physician's bill
to me for payment. If you have had a physical within the past twelve
months you need not see a physician for a physical; you can complete
the front side of the examination form yourself.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Best stregards regards,
Doug Graham

Dear Mr. Etlinger:
Thank you for your continued correspondence regarding
Veterans Administration hospital construction in Oregon.
As I indicated in my last letter, the White House Office
of Policy Development is continuing to study this matter.
In addition, the Veterans Administration is once again re-
viewing its construction proposals in light of funding
priorities for its Fiscal Year 1983 budget submission,
which will be transmitted to the Congress early next year.
The VA's construction agenda has not, as of this date,
been finalized.
To assist VA Administrator Robert Nimmo and OMB Director
Dave Stockman in evaluating this construction project, I
have shared with them both my file on our correspondence on
this matter. Should you have further questions on this pro-
ject or any related matter, I would encourage you to contact
them directly.
Thank you again for keeping me abreast of developments in
Portland on this issue. I assure you that your views will
be carefully considered in arriving at a decision on this
matter.

Dear Tom:
Thanks for your letter regarding pending
appointments to the ICC.
Because I feel that I should exempt myself
from involvement in those appointments, I've
taken the liberty of passing your letter on
to Jim Baker.
I recommend you get in touch with him regularly
on this matter.
Many thanks.

Mr. Michael Deaver
Assistant to the President

Washington, D. C. 20050
Dear Mike:
Last Wednesday when I talked to you I indicated I would be sending some material
to you. It appears that I spend most of my time complaining about new appointments,
but for the life of me, I am perplexed as to how people get nominated for positions
through what is apparently a complex screening program.
I have been informed that two Democratic nominees to the ICC have been signed off
by the White House and they are Thomas J. Domencich and J. J. Simmons, III. It is
my understanding that Domencich was pushed by the Chessie Railroad. He is an
economist (God save us from these people!) and is quite unacceptable to, I guess,
anybody but the Chessie Railroad. Recently, he prepared a case study for Alexander
Morton which was included in Marcus Alexis' comments at the Oversight Hearings on
the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. I must remind you that Marcus Alexis' comments
were those of the previous Administration. In 1970 he indicated there would be an
$8 billion saving because of a shift in traffic from truck to rail, and an
additional $3 billion resulting in a 20% drop in rates. Such gross overstatements
makes it hard to believe he is a serious transportation student. From 1976 to
present he has been a private consultant. He has done most of his work for CAB
and DOT. In other words, a beltway bandit who has probably now lost income due to
budget cuts, only to be appointed to the ICC. A true blow for business.
J. J. Simmons, III has absolutely no transportation experience. He is a geologist
and an oil engineer. There is nothing I can find in his background that even
remotely relates to transportation. Quite frankly, it is an unbelievable
appointment.
Now, if you think these two Democratic nominees are slightly unbelievable, I have
been informed that the Republican nominee to be named to replace Bob Gresham is
even more SO. She is Heather Gradison, wife of Congressman Willis D. Gradison,
Jr. (R-Cincinnati, Ohio). She is 29 years old and married Gradison in 1980
Mr. Michael Deaver

following his divorce. She was his daughter's best friend and is currently on
maternity leave from the Southern Railroad. I have been told that her total
transportation experience is with Southern as a rate clerk.
My concern not only goes to incompetence if these rumored nominees go forward,
but would also mean that three of the seven members of the ICC would be from New
England, which is not known, at least to my recognition, as a bastion of Reagan
support. These three will be Mal Sterrett, Domencich and Simmons. In addition,
three of the nominees are totally rail oriented -- Sterrett, Domencich and
Gradison.
You know my views as far as regulatory reform is concerned -- I think much of it
is necessary, but it is difficult to understand how political appointments can be
made with such obvious disregard to not only a mode of transportation, but for
political values as well.
My concern further goes as to the method used for selection. I realize the ICC
is not uppermost in the minds of everyone, but when your livelihood comes from that
end of the spectrum, you get a little concerned.
Cordially,
Thomas C. Schumacher, Ir.

Dear Father Ellison:
I'm sorry to be SO delinquent in responding to your
September letter. Somehow, I never seem to get to
the bottom of the stack.
I've asked Cap to look into the training of Boy Scouts
with the M-1 rifle and sincerely appreciate your other
thoughts.
The weeks are getting more difficult with the Press and
the Congress but no one said it would be easy.
Carolyn and the kids are doing fine. The schools here
are SO far superior to California schools. Amanda is
going to Holton Arms in Maryland and Blair to Horace Mann
in the District - superb! We'll be spending Christmas
in Williamsburg which should be interesting and memorable.
I hope your EMC went well and again apologize for letting
you down.
The Bates were here and I saw them briefly at the White
House and they had dinner with Carolyn.
Please give our best to all. You are in my prayers.

Dear Mike:
You have been on my mind quite a bit lately, especially as I hear
and read the news of the economy and the President's program. And
I say a prayer for you personally, as well as for the country.
It prompts me to offer this addendum to my "sermon" on original
sin. Making a few applications. Remember, I defined sin as self-
concern or self-interest.
The country needs new jobs, up-dating of factories, etc. Here is
Dupont with a couple of billion dollars which could be used to
build new or rebuild old factories. But that takes 5 years or
more before the profits come in, so it is to their advantage to
buy Conoco. Two other biggies wanted to do the same thing.
The graduates of Harvard and other business schools know that their
own bonuses and promotions to better jobs in other corporations
depend upon getting bigger profits this year--no one rewards them
now for undertaking building projects which will make the company
secure and productive ten or twenty years from now. Therefore,
they are eager for mergers, either taking over an under-priced
outfit (Conoco) or taking on a loser for tax deductions. In
either case, it gets them their bonus and promotion, does nothibg
to increase production or create new jobs.
These people probably voted for Reagan because they want their
personal taxes cut, and reduced corporate taxes means more profits.
BUT they are not committed to what is best for their corporation
ten or twenty years from now (by then they will have retired or
gone to work for someone else) and above all, they are not committed
to what is best for the country. It is chiefly their self-interest
which determines their decisions--good old original sin.
Your problem, as I see it, is to devise schemes so that their
self-interest coincides with the goals of the administration.
Otherwise, they will use every device possible to wring out K the
best for themselves and the devil take the hindmost.
Another example: All-Saver tax-free Savings. Many will move billions
into these for tax advantages. But the institutions will not use
the money for very many home mortgages--their advantage lies in
shorter-term loans. A few new houses will be started but I am
betting that 90% of the money will simply generate some profits
for the S&Ls--saving some from collapse, no doubt.
The solution, as I see it, will not be congenial to you--but it
may become necessary. I get the feeling that the administration
has adopted a doctrinaire position on regulations: get rid of
them and don't create any new ones.
But to force self-interest to coincide with government objectives,
you can't leave it up to the natural desires of the individual
corporation or industry. They will never pass up a profit in
order to promote the national interest.
The cutting of taxes could have been done in such a way that the
savings to an individual or a corporation would be much less if
they did not use it to improve the economy. I am thinking back
a couple of decades when it was decided that the housing industry
needed a massive boost. The solution was to allow people to
deduct from their income the interest paid on mortgages. That
kind of targeting forced the self-interest of individuals who
had been renting homes to begin to build or buy homes. Millions
of individuals suddenly found it to their advantage to own their
home even though they knew they would be moved to another loca-
tion in three to five years by their employer.
But to do this, you cannot be doctrinaire about "no new regulations."
Oh yes, one tiny item in the defense budget that I think could well
be cut--something I caught on TVabout three weeks ago. Why do we
pay for a program to teach women, Boy Scouts and even Cub Scouts to
shoot M1 rifles? The rifles and ammunition are provided at little
or no cost to the participants. Surely the defense of our country
does not depend upon women and kids manning barricades. Then why
pay a general to run such a program?
So much for this month's sermon.
Things continue on a steady course at All Saints. We are preparing
a letter informing the congregation that we have taken in $8000 less
than we have spent this year. Your idea about an advance-giver
solicitation is continuing. Last year we ranked 59 out of 60
congregations in average pledge. Raising the average from $251 to $322
brought us up to rank 54. St. Michael's averages $586 and Trinity
$616; Roseville does not ask for pledges but the average household
is giving $584.
Before you left a year ago, you identified some people on the parish
list that you would call on. The lists compiled at those meetings
were not kept after cards were handed out. Would you mind putting
a check mark in front of the names that you think should be asked
in this advance solicitation? I am willing to make some calls before
I go to Israel (Oct 22) and will do so on any that you mark with a
double check.
and have you heard that we have twin grandchildren now 3½ months
old? Daniel and Victoria, brunette and blonde. That makes 4 under
four; Paula is happily back at work projecting Pacific Telephone's
needs in the Antelope and Santa Clarita valleys for the next 30 years.
over
Give our love to Caroline. And best wishes for you personally,
for the work you are in, and for the country.

and for accompanying the President to our Banquet.
I hope that my arrangments for your own table were
satisfactory - you can do no better than to sit with the
O'Neill family.
I hope that our efforts to make the menu, decorations,
singing, etc., tastefully pleased both the President and
yourself.
With very best regards, I am,

Thanks for taking the time to write your
thoughts relative to our visit to your
magnificant new facility.
I can assure you that the "incident" didn't
ruin our impression of ABC.
I've tried to encourage a professional
approach in dealing with the media and I'm
sometimes disappointed and frustrated with
the reactions.
At any rate, thanks again for your thoughtfulness.

Dear Mike:
This letter is to flatly and sincerely apologize
for the Sam Donaldson incident during yesterday's
Presidential dedication of our new Washington facility.
The interruption was totally unexpected and un-
planned. The microphone Sam held was an emergency mike
cabled to a portable camera which was augmenting our
video coverage.
At the direction of Roone Arledge, Presidential
sound cuts from the incident were not included in
World News Tonight. The incident has also been edited
out of the tape of the event which we are close cir-
cuiting to ABC affiliates on Monday.
One senior ABC news executive, watching the event
in his New York office, summed up the incident like
this: "You don't invite someone to your house and then
hit him with a lemon pie." My sentiments exactly.
May I express my gratitude for your assistance
in arranging for the President's visit and again my
profound apologies for the Donaldson incident.
Sincerely
BillKar

Dear Mike:
I checked with the Metropolitan Club this morning with
regard to your application for membership and was told that there
are only three letters in the file supporting you at the moment.
I am, therefore, happy to write a fourth letter and will attempt to
get several more for you. Under the rules, you are required to have
at least eight letters in your file as well as meeting the board,
which you can do at one of the frequent receptions that they hold
for that purpose (the next one will be on November 19 from 5:00 until
6:30 p.m.).
In a humorous vain, I am enclosing a copy of a note which
I received from a mutual friend of ours during the time of the
primaries when I was trying to raise some money for Ronald Reagan.
I never did understand the old democratic wheeze about "the fat lady
singing" but then I was never much of a democrat anyway.
Hope all of you are well. Best regards,
Sincerely,
Marion Jac H. Smoak

The first of last week I received a call from
Joe Coors, asking if I could send him a check
for $10,000 for the Yorktown International
Bicentennial Committee, Inc.
As you must know, the automobile business is
not good. However, I called Charlie Cook and,
as usual, he came up with the $10,000.
I would appreciate it if you would just drop
Charlie a note to thank him for responding
to your call, since he was the one that is
actually providing the funds.

Dear Mike,
Many, many thanks again for lining up the President for
our dinner. The armory really wasn't as nice as the
Waldorf where we were originally going to be when we
had the earlier date. But it worked out well. Everyone
was very pleased and flattered that the President took
the time to come, and to stay as long as he did. He
made a lot of good friends.
Also, incidentally, I think he struck just the right
note in his remarks. It's uncanny how well he can key
himself to his audience -- although, I'm sure, he had
help from you and Joe.
Again, many thanks. I just hope the President enjoyed
himself.
Mily O'Neill
P.S. Incidentally, I know you're swamped in Washington

Just a personal note to thank you for coming to the

It was a great honor for the Society, for all Irish
Americans, and for New York. We are all very grateful

Dear Mike:
In viewing the program last evening with Barbara Walters,
I feel it was, by far, the finest television program
and message to come from our President, and from everyOne
participating with him. You were great!
I wish to thank you sincerely for all you did after the
reception last week that I might have that memorable
occasion with our President. Had it not been for you,
I would have missed the best part of my journey to
Washington. However, it was indeed a joy to see how well
Mrs. Reagan had accomplished the much needed renovation
of the White House.
You have to be grateful this Thanksgiving season for your
very personal contribution to a President that, in my
opinion, will go down in history with no less a stature
than President Lincoln.
'gain and again, Mike, thank you for your everlasting
courtesy and thoughtfulness of me whether it be in
California, Oklahoma, Alabama and now Washington.
My best wishes to you and yours throughout the holidays.

Dear Mike:
I was delighted to meet you and to share with you the
beautiful evening last Sunday at the Governor's Palace.
Everything was superbly planned. I hope that you and the
President were as pleased as the Rockefeller family and
Colonial Williamsburg representatives were. I was glad
also to see Joe and to know that he is working with you.
He most ably and loyally served Nelson and our family.
t
I was both interested in and gratified by your comments
about our needs at Williamsburg to communicate better our
wealth of historical and educational material as well as
to project more clearly our general public image. This
is a high priority on our agenda and we eagerly accept
your offer of advice and help. We would be thrilled to
have the Reagans share in our goals. I have passed on
your comments to our President, Chuck Longsworth, who will
t
be in touch with you.
George and I still have stars in our eyes from our glamorous
evening with the President. We were most impressed with his
"team" and particularly enjoyed meeting you and your pretty
wife, Carolyn. We were grateful to have been included and it
will always be a treasured memory. Best of luck. We are
firmly behind you.
Most sincerely,
alley
P.S. I ran into Peter Crisp, who runs our venture capital
partnership, Venrock, and told him about our exciting week-
end. He wanted me to tell you that he has been working with
Dan Kingsley of National Venture Capital Foundation and is
very happy with the relationship.
