THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
April 18, 1984
Dear Students:
Thank you for your letter to the President concerning the
right to privacy, and the threat to that right represented
by the ever increasing number of personal files maintained
by government at all levels. In your letter you stated that
you considered it an invasion of privacy that such records
could be released without your knowledge or consent.
We certainly share your concern to protect the right to
privacy, and recognize the danger posed if personal records
are not maintained with sufficient safeguards to prevent
misuse of the information they contain. I would point out
that Congress passed the Privacy Act in 1974 to guard
against just such potential invasions of privacy. A copy of
that Act, as codified, is enclosed for your information.
You will notice that the Privacy Act generally provides that
"[n]o agency shall disclose any record which is contained in
a system of records by any means of communication to any
person, or to another agency, except pursuant to a written
request by, or with the prior written consent of, the
individual to whom the record pertains
" 5 U.S.C.
$ 552a (b). There are a series of exceptions for circum-
stances in which Congress determined the privacy interest to
be outweighed by other compelling factors. The Privacy Act
also provides for access by individuals to their records,
and imposes limits on agencies concerning the maintenance of
records on individuals.
I hope this information is helpful to you, and wish you best
of luck with your studies.
Sincerely,
John Robut

Dear Ms. Birg and Students:
Your letter to the President concerning the privacy of personal
files in the possession of government agencies has been referred
to me for response.
I certainly share your concern that individual files maitained
by the government should remain confidential. As you may know,
the Congress passed the Privacy Act in 1974 to guard against
just such potential invasions of privacy. In general, one section
of the law prohibits an agency of the federal government from
disclosing any records of an individual "except pursuant to
a written request by, or with the prior written consent of,
the individual to whom the record pertains
11 5 U.S.C.
552a(b).
Section 552a(b) also sets out several narrowly drawn exceptions
to this prohibition.
Michael Uhlmann, Assistant Director for Legal Policy,
Office of Policy Development, has workd in this area, and would
be better able to respond to the broader policy questions you
raise. I have referred your letter to him for further response.
Thank you for your letter.
Sincerely,
John G. Roberts, Jr.

The White House
Washington, D. C.
Dear President Reagan:
The right to privacy should be of concern to all in-
dividuals. Ever increasing personal files on both
the state and federal levels leads us to question
the confidentiality of these files.
Currently, we, as citizens of the United States are
subject to personal records being dispensed without
our knowledge or consent. We consider this an inva-
sion of our privacy.
As students in a course entitled "Humanizing Techno-
logy and Organizations, our concern is with our
political representatives' voting records on the
rights of privacy and specifically, what is your
position in this matter?
Cordially,
Students at Saint Xavier College

Dear Mr. Williams:
Assistant to the President Lee L. Verstandig has referred
your letter concerning Captain Brenda Babbitt to this office
for consideration. Accompanying your letter was a resolu-
tion passed by the Fresno City Council, containing various
allegations concerning the Babbitt case.
The White House adheres to a policy of not commenting upon
pending criminal matters. This policy is intended to
preserve public confidence in the impartial administration
of the criminal justice system. The Babbitt case is cur-
rently pending on appeal before the United States Army Court
of Military Review, pursuant to Article 66 of the Uniform
Code of Military Justice. I am advised that an experienced
appellate attorney and member of the Judge Advocate General's
Corps has been designated Captain Babbit's military appellate
defense counsel, and that Captain Babbitt has retained a
civilian attorney as well. Since Captain Babbitt's case is
pending on appeal, I trust you will understand that it would
be inappropriate for us to comment upon it or take any other
action with respect to it.
Thank you for sharing your views with us.
Sincerely,
John G. Roberts

MEMORANDUM FOR JOHN G. ROBERTS
ASSOCIATE COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT: Brenda Babbitt
This is in response to your memorandum of March 21, 1984
to Ms. Kathleen Buck of this office concerning Captain Brenda
Babbitt and the accompanying resolution by the Mayor and Council
for the City of Fresno, California.
There is forwarded herewith a summary, prepared in the
Office of the Judge Advocate General of the Army, of Captain
Babbitt's court-martial conviction and pending appeal. A brief
discussion of other allegations made in the Fresno resolution is
also included in the summary of this case. To facilitate
whatever reply you may wish to make to Fresno officials the
subject resolution is returned.
Based on the submission of the Judge Advocate General there
does not seem to be anything unusual from the standpoint of legal
procedure about this case. Nor does there appear to be any merit
in the allegations made in the Fresno resolution.
If you desire additional detailed information about this
case, please let me know.

Dear President Reagan:
Surely your correspondence of recent weeks has brought you information concern-
ing one Captain Brenda Babbitt, currently incarcerated at Fort Leavenworth,
Kansas. Immediately prior to her conviction of attempted murder, she had
uncovered serious evidence of black-marketing and corruption in the Army.
Other elected officials have been notified and supplied packets of data
similar to that which was sent to you.
The City of Fresno has taken the Babbitt case very seriously, Mr. President:
many people have written the elected officials; petitions are being circulated
throughout the County in her behalf; and the local media have covered it
extensively. Moreover, as a City Councilman, on February 14, I introduced a
resolution for Council action calling for a thorough investigation; it passed
unanimously and is remitted herein.
The Babbitt case is not only a denial of due process but a direct assault on
Human Rights, an issue that has been highlighted in international politics in
recent years. It is also in contravention of the Governments' avowed intent
to root out fraud and corrupt practices, and to protect federal employees brave
enough to "blow the whistle." Of no small consideration is the deliberate
destruction of Captain Babbitt's military career.
As our Commander-in-Chief, President Reagan, we must now look to your leadership
to undo the manifold wrongs that have been wrought against Brenda Babbitt by the
U. S Army.
Sincerely,
Joe Williams
Councilman

WHEREAS,
there is evidence of substantial theft of her personal property

an immediate investigation of both the alleged crime and Captain

President, which has been referred to me for consideration
and response. In that letter you discussed your concerns
about a matter pending before the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) involving the Spanish International Com-
munications Corporation, and others.
While I can appreciate the importance of this matter to you,
and your concern that it be properly resolved, I must advise
you that the FCC is an independent regulatory agency.
Accordingly, neither the President nor the members of his
staff attempt to influence the Commission's deliberations on
particular matters involving private parties that come
before it. We adhere to this policy in order to maintain
public confidence in the impartial administration of our
laws. In light of the Commission's status as an independent
regulatory agency, we are unable to take any action in
response to your letter.
I hope you will understand the reasons for our position.

Dear Mr. President:
You need a letter from my Dog Spot like you need a
NEW YORK TIMES Editorial on how well you are running
the country. But my Dog Spot is so pissed off at the
FCC that there is just no way that I have been able
to talk to him on a rational basis as a man should be
able to talk to his dog. So, to keep peace in the
family, I hasten to write to you, especially since it
has been announced that Sr. Miguel de la Madrid, the
President of Mexico, is coming to visit you at the
White House on May 15th. Well, do we have some good
news for him!
I think you and President de la Madrid ought to know
that the Federal Communications Commission has just
accused the Republic of Mexico of violating United
States law. Specifically, the Commission staff has
alleged in the attached document that the Republic of
Mexico controls the operations of seven United States
television stations of which I am a shareholder and
President, in violation of Section 310(b) of the
Communications Act of 1934.

"Hello? Mr. President, are you still there?"
I hope this letter has not dropped from your hands
onto the floor as they administered your smelling
salts. What I was saying when your eyes glazed over,
Mr. President, is that the Republic of Mexico and Sr.
de la Madrid are in deep guano at the FCC.
Given the imminence of his visit, it might be a good
idea if you were to call Sr. de la Madrid and advise
him that the FCC has got the goods on him and his
Republic and that, more important than bringing along
a tuxedo for the black tie affairs in Washington, he
had better bring along some good lawyers.
It is not true that the entire legal profession in
the United States is occupied in either attacking or
defending the companies I operate. There must be a
few firms out there who could offer their services to
defend President de la Madrid and his government in
the FCC hearing they got themselves involved in.
Perhaps someone on your staff could recommend a good
firm.
The problems arose because these seven Spanish
language television stations are presently in a
hearing at the FCC to determine whether or not they
are really controlled by foreign aliens. Up till
now, it has been alleged by my admirers that the
stations were controlled by the Mexican television
network, Televisa, or by the Azcarragas who control
Televisa, and also control Rene Anselmo and his Dog
Spot. Since Rene Anselmo controls the stations and
the foreign aliens control Rene Anselmo, the stations
are thus under foreign control. Or so the theory
goes.
I guess some foreign relations intern at the FCC
figured these charges didn't sound horrible enough
and decided to finger the Mexican government as the
main culprit
or controller of Rene Anselmo. Per-
President Ronald Reagan
Washington, D.C.

sonally, I think this is unconscionable. If the FCC
knew all along that it was the Mexican government who
was controlling these stations, why didn't they let
me know? Especially since I am accused in the same
document of being an agent of the government of
Mexico.
Here I am running around thinking I'm supposed to be
controlled by Televisa and the Azcarragas and all
along I was really being controlled by the Mexican
government. What kind of alleged agent does that make
me look like? My Dog Spot says I am going to look
like an asshole in the international undercover
community. He says that if I worked for the CIA they
would have demoted me to the Nicaraguan Desk over
something like this. So the tempers are flaring up
all over.
Melissandra says that if the Mexican government has
been controlling our stations they ought to damn well
go out and get their own lawyers. As for me, I'm too
busy defending myself to take up the defense of the
Republic of Mexico as well. Maybe Ambassador Gavin
can give them some advice. They are sure going to
need it, 'cause I'm telling you, Mr. President, it's
a real ZOO down there at the FCC.
While we are on the subject, I wonder if I could ask
a favor of you. I have another school of admirers
who claim that I am an agent of the Communist Party.
I would appreciate it if someone on your staff could
check with their KGB connections and let me know if
this is true. I'll be at home over the weekend
hoping to get my onions planted. We have had so much
rain in Connecticut it has been impossible to work
the soil till now. Do you and Mrs. Reagan have a
vegetable garden at the White House? If so, I hope
you've got your onions in. You are supposed to plant

SUBJECT:
Alan Hepworth Complaint Regarding Lack of
Response to His Letters to Administration
Officials in Which He Requests Investigation
into Violation of his Civil Rights
Alan Hepworth of Miami Beach has written Mr. Baker to
complain about the lack of response to his many letters
concerning an alleged violation of his rights. It is
unclear from Mr. Hepworth's numerous letters precisely what
he is complaining about, but it is clear that he regards
William P. Tyson, Director of the Executive Office of U.S.
Attorneys, as the villain of the piece. Tyson made what in
retrospect can only be regarded as the mistake of innocently
responding to Mr. Hepworth in August of 1983. This latest
letter should be referred to Justice for whatever action
they deem appropriate; we certainly do not want to respond
directly from the White House. An appropriate memorandum is
attached.

Dear Mr. Wilson:
This is written in response to your recent letter to me,
requesting that I convey an enclosed letter dated
January 12, 1984, from you to Mr. Peter V. Uberroth. The
letter contains instructions for investing in what appears
to be a commercial project.
Your letter to me is the latest in a series of letters you
have written to various individuals at the White House,
requesting that they convey enclosed letters from you to
other individuals. As you have been advised in the past,
the various officials to whom you have written are not
involved in any way with your business activities; regard-
less of that, it would be inappropriate for them to act as
intermediaries for you in connection with those activities.
In each instance we have explained this to you and returned
your correspondence, noting that no one at the White House
had taken any action to contact individuals on your behalf.
I am following that same course with respect to your latest
letter. Please do not persist in attempting to convey your
correspondence to third parties through members of the White
House staff. Any future attempts to do so will be ignored.
Sincerely,
