Deaver The White House 7/24 Washington, D.C. 20270 Dear Mike: Just a short note to say hello and to wish your administration tremendous success in the coming election. I personally believe the President will win reelection with a greater majority than he won election in 1980. All of you had a difficult job when you took office and your hard work and expertise showed in the results. As one ordinary citizen, I offer my congratulations and assistance. I completed a years term of office as President of the Italian American Heritage Foundation and am now serving on the Board of Directors and Advisory Board. We are the umbrella organization for approximately 26 Italian organizations and service approximately three hundred Itabian Americans. You can see how easy we Italians can get confused. I said three hundred Italian Americans when I should have said three hundred thousand Italian Americans. Oh well, what is a few hundred thousand Itabians amoung friends. We are going to hold our 7th Annual cultural festival on the 6th and 7th of October 1984 and we have been drawing 200 to 250 thousand people at the two day festival. It is a fun festival with all types of ethnic foods and 4 stages of entertainment. I would like to extend an invitation to the president to visit us on either of the two days and campaign with us. I realize he will be busy from now on visiting many cities, but I honestly believe a visit with us will pay many many dividends on election day. San Jose has developed into a large city with over a million people in a 25 mile radius. If I can be of assistance in any capacity, please do not hesitate to call on me. I believe in your program and feel we need 4 more years of progress or we will surely regress. Hang in there and do not let them grind you down. You are doing a great job. Your friend, Phil Philip J.

VERSTANDIG been SUBJECT: VIETNAM MEMORIAL During one of my recent trips I picked up an interesting suggestion that I thought I would share with you. A Vietnam veteran suggested to me that the President might want to recommend that the Vietnam Memorial be outfitted with lights so that veterans and their families and citizens might be able to take advantage of the memorial and give it recognition similar to other Washington memorials. I don't know where to turn to suggest this idea but I thought that if something could be done, the President's turning on the lights at this memorial might be an interesting event in the months ahead. fie College Republican National Committee July 20, 1984 Jack Abramoff Chairman Ted Higgins Mr. Michael Deaver Co-Chairman Assistant Chief of Staff The White House David Miner Vice-Chairman Washington, D.C.

LONDON LONDON LONDON Asprey we to 18 July, 1984 mike Let Know Mr. Joseph Canzeri The Canzeri Company 3213 P Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20007 Dear Joe, This past Sunday, I was reading my New York Times and was delighted to see a photograph of one of Asprey's "It CAN Be Done" signs prominently displayed on the President's desk. I learned some months ago, from a White House aide, that the sign was in the Oval Office. It seems that one of Mr. Reagan's friends bought it from us here and gave it to him. We would like to offer the President six of these signs which he could give to visitors who admire the one on his desk. Whom would I contact to inquire about this? In addition, with the convention and election coming up, the sign would be a lovely gift for delegation heads, long-time Reagan supporters, members of the Republican National Committee, and key "PAC" people. They come in six colours: black, dark brown, navy, dark green, burgundy, and red. They retail for $35 each, but we would be happy to offer a discount on large orders, depending on the quantity involved. Also, the sign Mr. Joseph Canzeri 18 July, 1984 Page 2 is exclusively ours, so the chances of the recipients already having them is quite slim. I have enclosed the photograph mentioned above, and would like to know whom I should contact in the White House, to obtain either a copy of the photograph, or one which shows the sign on the President's desk. Of course, the photograph would be only for our own interest, and you have my word it would not be exploited. I would appreciate your passing on my suggestions to the appropriate people. Please let Hunter and me know if you and Tricia will be coming to New York so we can have you for dinner. Many thanks in advance for your help.

SINCERELY Reget to Set-up JILL REAGAN OAK MEDIA CORP 1888 CENTURY PARK EAST #1920 CENTURY CITY CA 90067 1745 EST this THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON July 26, 1984 MEMORANDUM FOR WILLIAM SITTMANN FROM: MICHAEL P. CASTINE, DEPUTY DIRECTOR PRIVATE SECTOR INITIATIVES SUBJECT: BONNIE CONSOLO - armless Fle capped This morning Bonnie Consolo returned my call which was placed via Mike Wallace's office of "60 Minutes." She is looking for work and has done office work, switch-board telephone work, income tax accounting and is able to do many jobs as long as she is sitting down. Mrs. Consolo also gives lectures on behalf of the handicapped. Mrs. Consolo lives at: 225 Winn Street Mount Sterling, KY (606) 498-5900 The town is located about 35 miles east of Lexington, Kentucky and 90 miles south of Cincinnati. Consolo is willing to drive any distance necessary to find a job. Ronald Reagan is her favorite President ever and she was moved to tears when I told her why I was calling. She is willing to do anything she can to help him get re-elected and her wish is that she will have an opportunity to personally thank the President someday. I have placed about six phone calls to the Lexington area including one to Larry Forgy, a prominent Republican attorney and state committeeman who was with the President in Atlanta. Forgy is President of a non-profit organization and is expecting a $40,000 grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) for his group called the Appalachian Coalition for the Handicapped in Lexington. They plan on holding seminars to train the handicapped how to overcome the barriers of being impaired. He thinks Bonnie might be an appropriate instructor. Forgy feels that if Winnie Pizzano of ARC raised the amount of the grant it may be easier for him to convince his board to hire her. 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York, N.Y. 10112 Room 5600 247-3700 July 27, 1984 Dear Bill: I am writing to convey my disappointment at the decision of EPA's regional administrator to again oppose the plans for the Westway park and highway complex. As you know, this ambitious and creative design to develop the lower west side of Manhattan has been snarled in bureaucracy and legal delays for more years than one could care to admit. It has been backed by the past three Presidents of the United States, the past four Governors of New York state and every Major of New York City since John Lindsay. It has bi-partisan support in the U. S. Congress. It has been endorsed by all three of New York's major daily newspapers, and has had enthusiastic business and labor support since it was first proposed. This project has great promise to do much more than just build a highway. It creates some 80 acres of parkland in an area of town notoriously barren of parks at present, surely a laudable environmental goal. It provides new housing and commercial opportunities. Above all, it retrieves a magnificent river frontage which has not been accessible to New Yorkers for generation. However, rosy as this picture may be, the project is not without its detractors. In particular, the active and personal opposition of lower level bureaucrats the Federal agencies, again makes this promise a hollow one for most of us in New York. Once again, this project is in danger of being derailed. As a result, it is also in danger of being used for political football. There are indications that Governor Cuomo plans to use Westway as an issue on which to attack President Reagan for failing to follow through on an earlier commitment to New York. Moreover, I am convinced that the State of New York, after some earlier erratic performance, has in the past year and a Mr. William D. Ruckelshaus Page Two half provided a competent and highly professional administration of the project which has not been sufficiently recognized by the Federal agencies, including those of EPA. Accordingly, I feel it might be very useful for you to arrange a meeting directly between your office and that of the Commissioner of Transportation of New York, Mr. Jim Larocca, to review the State's plans to mitigate the impact of this project on the striped bass. I am sure you will find this plan quite impressive, as it proposes to dedicate some 200 acres of river bottom to this purpose. I will be interested to hear your reaction. Again, I do appreciate your efforts to keep my office informed of on-going developments. I plan to be in Maine during most of August, but I have asked my assistant, Chris Kennan, to stay in touch with Ernie Minor of your staff, and to keep me posted on any new events. With best wishes, Sincerely, Dawn David Rockefeller CC: Mr. Michael Deaver Mr. William D. Ruckelshaus Administrator Environmental Protection Agency 1200 West Tower 401 M. Street, S.W.
