Dear Mr. Deaver:
In reply to your kind and flattering invitation to participate in
the fall activities of the "Inner Circle" let me say this:
Although I have financially supported the candidates and Presidents
who espouse your objectives, it (sadly) has not gained me a hearing
on a more important type contribution.
America is losing the world ideological contest because we do not
fully understand our true origins, why we were set-up as an
experimental democracy meant to be world-wide in influence at our
maturity and not strictly national. We should be playing a much
more dynamic role in world affairs.
To that end I authored and lobbied in a very amateur way, two bills
of draft legislation before congressional offices in Washington D.C.
This was many years ago but the issues are not dead, on the contrary
are more vital than ever. They went to Senatorial committees as
petitions via Vice-President Barkley's office, and created very
little comment.
Our organization has developed research that projects Sir Francis
Bacon of England as the true, if hidden father of America, the
colonization scheme and the carefully guided instituting of represen-
tative democracy. Much more planning and involvement has come to
light.
This position does not diminish the well established role of Washington
and the traditional facts, but gives credit where credit is due and
thus forms the substance of justice. More importantly it opens up the
vast subject of humankinds destiny and gives effective answers. We
must move from trial and error methods to a sure course.
Page 2
Proof of the role of Bacon and a select group of aids to his vision
for America was secured in an underground vault according to our
research. As America's time capsule, it was placed in Williamsburg,
Virginia in the late 17th century, so that it might be discovered at
a time of crisis to assist our unaware future. This Vault was
discovered by the head of our organization in 1938, but it was never
opened and the healing treasure it contains has been denied and mis-
represented.
The idea of the first bill is to by Congressional Act hold this small
plot of soil as a major plank in our national heritage and welfare.
It is called "The World Peace Act of 1950". Hopefully something like
this can still be done. It belongs to the American people first and
to the world at large, thereafter through our guardianship, promulgation
and duty as a trust.
The second bill sets up a Presidential Commission to study and recommend.
It is called "The Leadership Emancipation Act of 1950" and very much
in need of an update by same savey and responsible people in power.
The first bill of draft legislation asking for a commission of scholars
went to President Truman. The second one asking for the sanctification
of the "time capsule" area in Williamsburg, together with a copy of the
first, went to Senate committees for possible action. We subsequently
tried the National Endowment for the Humanities and NASA during President
Johnson's administration, a direct letter to President Nixon and the
Interior Department under President Carter.
I realize it is unusual, maybe unprecedented for a private citizen to
write and seek sponsorship for a subject this large, especially since
I am a person of no status. But it was done in good faith and with the
care and deep concern that we all share about the future.
How would I sit at your luncheons and be taken seriously? You can imagine
the ridicule one would get.
But can you also imagine the benefits if this mystery proves to be a vital
and dynamic set of facts?
Meanwhile all the best for your worthy objectives.
Can someone please give me a note saying you received this curious but
none the less serious exposition? Thank you.

Dear Mr. Deaver,
After reading about you in Time magazine, I'm
addressing this letter to you in the hope of reaching
the President. I am a moderate Republican and there
are MANY of us.
THE STRENGTH OF OUR REPUBLIC LIES IN THE GREAT
MIDDLE SPECTRUM OF OUR POPULATION. The strength of
our Union is there. Thank God the two parties over-
lap with moderate Democrats and moderate Republicans
in each. But you are crowding out the latter.
Uhtra-conservatism defeated Goldwater. It can de-
feat Reagan if the Democrats exploit the narrow
idealogy of the Republican platform. The PEOPLE can-
not be served by extremism.
One word more: I was disappointed in the President's
acceptance speech. Too harsh. Too many clichès. And
please have him stop referring to opponents as "jack-
asses". We expect the President to follow a nobler
expression of sentiment and conviction. Attacking the
Democrats is negativism. Emphsize the present and fore-
tell a bright future.
You are hearing from America's grass roots.
Sincerely yours,
G. it. Tucker

Dear Sir,
Re: Republican Campaign Song
"Ms. Administration"
Ms. Gail W. Ledwig, Staff Assistant, by letter dated August 27th,
1984, replied to my submission of the above proposed campaign song,
stating it was being forwarded to the Reagan Bush '84 campaign for
possible use.
As a further suggestion, if consideration is given to having the
song recorded by a name entertainment personality, have the recording
made on the very thin, pliable, inexpensive disks (45's I believe) and
either mail them with normal campaign literature or leave it with a
householder when an election canvasser calls.
Please advise me of the mailing address of the National Head-
quarters Reagan-Bush '84 Campaign.
Thank you.
Yours very truly,
Kenneth L. Perry

With all the weighty matters confronting you, I thank you for your
prompt acknowledgment of my wine which I hope you will enjoy.
I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours with John Rousselot
regarding the forthcoming campaign and you can be assured that I
will assist the President in any way possible.
Hope you will have the opportunity to visit our picturesque winery
one day in the near future. With every good wish, I am,

Dear Mr. Deaver:
Just for the record, my voting for Republican Presidents goes back
more than 50 years. I am supporting Pres. Reagan again even with
his poor foreign policy record.
Several speakers at the Republican Convention mentioned our friends
in Israel, but nothing was said about our friends in Egypt and
Saudi Arabia.
Let's look at our so-called friends Begin, Shamir, Sharon, Arens:
1.- During Egyptian-Israeli war, Israel sank our ship that was mon-
itoring the war. The excuse was - "it was an accident". Can you
imagin Mossad making such a mistake? The most efficient intelli-
gent agency in the World.
2.- Israeli planes bombed-destroyed Iraq's nuclear plant. Iraq was
at that time a country at peace.
3.- Begin, Sharon & Co. sent Israeli arm forces to Beirut, where
they created a Holocaust and Massacre, killing some 16000-18000
people, mostly civilians including children.
4.- Then there was the bombing of the American Embassy with loss
of many lives. Later the bombing of U.S. Marines Headquarters in
Beirut with some 260 plus Marines killed. We retreated in disgrace.
There is no doubt that Begin was influential in getting Pres. Reagan
to send our Marines to Lebanon to help protect Israel and minimize
criticism of Israel. Both bombings had the ear-marks of Mossad and
their paid terrorists.
5.- Now we have the mining of Red Sea with damage to some 18 ships.
Iran and Libia have denied responsibility for the mining. Next in
line for the dirty work to benefit Israel is Mossad, the efficient
intelligent agency that does not leave "tell-tale" evidence behind.
It is very unfortunate that Pres. Reagan allows Begin, Shamir, Sharon,
Arens and the Jewish lobby to control our Middle East foreign policy.
Pres. Reagan often mentions peace in the World, but the way he goes
about it, he just cannot achieve it. I have written many letters to
Pres, Reagan how to achieve peace but of course my letters do not
mean a thing, even though I have been proven right.
With best wishe.
Sincerely,
Bjorn B. Forss

Dear Gail Ledwig:
I was indeed happy in receiving the letter that Mike
had you write to me, thanking me for those two pen
and ink etchings by John Buschette of Lake Park, Minn-
esota 56554.
I would be most happy if you would send me this iden-
tical letter once more SO that I may have a perfect
collector's item. You see, you addressed me as Paul
H. Notby whereas my name is Norby and is a well known
name in Roseville and in Lake Park, Minnesota as well.
My signature perhaps is not too clear and an r could
easilly be taken for a t. I would appreciate this a
lot when you can find the opportunity.
I am SO happy that Mike liked the etching a lot and
has passed one on to Pres. Reagan. I hope that he
may like it as much, and Nancy too. I woild be parti-
cularly pleased if Mike could drop a note to John Bus-
chette in Lake Park, Minn--the artist. He is a yongng
man of 22, living in a town of 600 souls, and having
his etchings owned by Pres. Reagan and Mike Deaver and
50 a cknowledged will be a high-light in his lite as you
can well imagine.
I will greatly appreciate another identical letter from
you that has no errors on the letter itself or envelope.
Am SO glad Mike liked the etching and has given one to
Pres. Reagan. Am in hopes that Ronnie may even drop
John Buschette a letter of acknowledgment.
Sincerely,
PHN:mc

Dear Mike:
4 he fees that you should
not responde
I know your last letter didn't require an answer, but I feel one is
necessary.
I know how the President fell into the trap of going to Red China. I
know how Nixon was talked into it by Kissinger, and I know the back-
ground of all the undercover work that was done by employees of the
State Department. I just wanted you to know, Mike, that you or your
children will never live long enough to see Communist China a viable
nation of value to anyone. Now that can all be changed if they change
their communist government to a free one such as they've done on
Taiwan. And speaking of Taiwan, for God's sake, get the President to
change just a little bit and let us sell some more equipment to that
government.

I haven't heard from Marylon in months
but I'm sure that is may fault. We seem to
be busy most of the time and use the rest to
walk or ride our bicycles.
I am writing at this time becaus -
of one of the requests for support by the
Republican national Committee. I have mailed
a check to them. I hope I'm not being
too bold in asking if mike would
pass the enclosed nate to the President.
In sure that the manner in which the
Republican campaign is conducted is uppermost
in your thoughts and what we want to share
with you and the President is found in
Ephesians Chapter 6 verses 10 through 18.
what has happened in San Francisco
this month was an example of the durit's
schemes and evil forces at work.
We are thankful and know God is in

Dear Mr. Deaver:
When I visited my brother, J. J. Wuerthner in Springfield, Virginia
last month on vacation, I showed him a letter (inclosed) I had written
to the Hartford Courant regarding a story the paper had run. He
thought you and The President might enjoy seeing it.
It seems that the Republicans have been extremely fortunate during
those years when three Friday the 13ths occurred since 1860. As
you look at the calendar this year those pesky Friday the 13ths are
with us again during three different months. And 1984 being a
presidential election year it looks very promising that Mr. Reagan
will be re-elected.
The three-Friday-the-l3th phenomenon may be a very un-scientific
way of forecasting presidential elections but the calendar hasn't
been wrong in 124 years. I am going to vote for a Republican
winner in November!
Sincerely yours,
W. Keith Wuerthner
P. S. The next Presidential election year when three Friday the 13ths
occur will be 2012.
HARTFORD COURANT
JULY 30, 1984
GOP Blessed With Triskaidekaphilia?
I read with interest the July 13 ar-
ticle about "Friday the 13th Strikes
for Third Time This Year."
I got out my 400-year calendar to
see how many times this has hap-
pened or will happen between the
years 1700 and 2100. From the looks
of it, the three-Friday-the-13ths-a-
year phenomenon occurs 59 times
during this period, or about 15 times
every century.
But the following coincidences
also jumped out as I looked at differ-
ent years where there were three
Friday the 13ths:
1860, Abraham Lincoln (Repub-
lican) elected president.
1888, Benjamin Harrison (Re-
RR
publican) elected president.
1928, Herbert Hoover (Republi-
can) elected president.
1953, Dwight D. Eisenhower
(Republican) inaugurated as
president.
1956, Eisenhower re-elected
president.
1981, Ronald Reagan (Republi-
can) inaugurated as president.
This being a three-Friday-the-13th
year, the next entry could be:
1984, Reagan re-elected pres-
ident.

Dear Sir:
Enclosed is a copy of a letter I have sent to
the President.
The action I suggest, I think, will be a
gesture even bolder than Mondale's selection of
Mrs. Ferraro to be his running mate.
It surely will steal media coverage from the
opposition for quite a spell.
It will give Bella Abzug and Gloria Steinem
and other women's libbers one less thing to bitch
about.
I feel sure Maureen will love the idea.

My dear Mr. President:
I think you should issue a Presidential
pardon to Geraldine Ferraro!
Make it clear that you are not accusing her
of any crime but are merely sweeping aside all
the furor about her disclosure so you can get to
the real issues on which she is really vulnerable.
I think it will gain many votes.
It will silence those who try to make voters
feel sorry for her.
Women tub-thumpers for Gerry should love you
for it.
Sincerely yours,

P.S. President Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon
provides a good precedent.
Also, you could pardon Representative Hansen
after the election and nobody would dare to squawk.

Dear Mr. Deaver:
Doug Stroup Associates is a firm which provides graphic design
for political campaigns (exclusively Republican) and public affairs
organizations.
In 1983, I was pleased to design the logo and several subsequent
applications for the organization "Citizens for America". The
pocket portfolio (which I have enclosed) was recently selected
to receive two awards for its graphic excellence. One is inter-
national, coming from the New York Type Directors Club annual
competition. The second is regional, coming from the Northeast
New York Ad Club. Needless to say, I'm very proud to have received
the awards.
I'm also proud of President Reagan. In his Inaugural Address,
he spoke of this nation's young entrepreneurs. I was 24, and
my business, just then beginning, felt a sense of encouragement.
Now, almost four years later that sense of encouragement has
been realized by the President in a restored economy and a proud
America. I'm most grateful.
I would be most honored if the enclosed copy of the CFA portfolio
could be signed by the President. It would be very special.
Thank you -- and keep up the good work:
Sincerely,
Doug Stroup

MEMORANDUM FOR MICHAEL DEAVER
BUD MCFARLANE
LARRY SPEAKES
BOB
FROM:
BOB SIMS
SUBJECT:
NBC "Blitz" on US/Soviet Relations
The NBC "TODAY" Show, in separate contacts with Mike Deaver and
Larry Speakes, asked for a Presidential interview in connection
with a series of programs on US/Soviet relations. The request
was declined and referred to the State Department.
John Hughes at State has looked into NBC's overall plans, which
turn out to be extensive. He reports that:
- NBC is planning a ten day blitz on US/Soviet relations.
They have been negotiating with the Soviets for several
months to permit their network television news programs to
broadcast live from Moscow during this period.
- "MEET THE PRESS" has requested Andrei Gromyko to appear on
their program on September 9. They have not received a
response to the invitation. We have been told informally
that if Gromyko declines, they will request
Secretary Shultz.
- The "TODAY" Show will have Bryant Gumbel appearing from
Moscow on the program from September 10 through 14.
Jane Pauley will be in New York. On Monday, September 10,
"TODAY" has requested an interview with Gromyko. If he
declines, they will air a taped segment on Gromyko's career.
Following that tape, they will have brief interviews with
former Secretaries of State Kissinger, Rusk, and Vance.
They would like to interview Secretary Shultz that day also,
but State's view is the Secretary should not engage in a
public discussion of his Soviet counterpart.
- Throughout the week, the "TODAY" Show will have interviews
with former President Ford. They have requested interviews
with Carter and Nixon also, but have not received responses
from them. Walter Mondale will tape a segment for "TODAY".
A date for airing his segment has not been established;
however, NBC indicates he will not appear on Monday,
September 10.
- The Sakharov stepchildren will be in a segment on the
"TODAY" Show and the show will also have an interview with
theaterical producer Joseph Papp, who will be in Moscow that
week. An Iowa farmer whose uncle entertained Kruschev on
his farm years ago will be featured in a segment.
- NBC Nightly News will have US/Soviet segments throughout the
week.
- Perhaps related to this blitz, an NBC Special on "Star
Wars", reported by Marvin Kalb, is due to be aired
September 8. Secretary Weinberger and former Secretary of
Defense McNamara participated in a debate for this show.
We have asked State to take the lead in ensuring a coordinated
Administration effort to deal with NBC on the US/Soviet programs.

He has a keen interest in helping out the re-election
effort and, with his expertise in the health care industry,
he will be a valuable asset to us. I know we will be
working closely with him during the remainder of the
campaign.

Dear Mike:
gohin
Pam Bailey suggested that I write to you following
a conversation which she had with you and subsequent to a
conversation between Pam and me.
Put simply, foll would be interested in being helpful
to the Reagan-Bush re-election campaign in whatever capacity
would be appropriate. My time is somewhat limited but I am
and have been strongly committed to the President and I would
like to do whatever I can. I don't have anything specific
in mind but I am a Senior Vice President in the largest
not-for-profit multihospital system in the country. I have
extensive contacts in the health care industry both on the
provider side and on the supply side. The health industry
is the third largest industry in the country and by and large
is strongly supportive of the programs espoused by the Reagan
Administration. It is I would think, a ready source of support
for the re-election effort that you might want to consider
tapping into.
I am not familiar with the campaign structure and
therefore I do not know how to plug into it. I really do
appreciate the opportunity of using your good offices. I
don't know whether you recall but you were instrumental in
my being in Washington, since it was your recommendation to
Richard Schweiker which led to my appointment as Staff Director
for the Republican Staff of the Labor and Human Resources
Committee. I appreciated it then but I would like once again
to say thank-you, since it opened the doors to many more career
opportunities for me.
With best wishes,
Sincerely,
