ROBERTS JJR ASSOCIATE COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT SUBJECT: Photo Policy You have asked for a statement of our policy with respect to providing White House photographs for use in advertisements. The main purpose of the White House Photo Office is, of course, to create and preserve a photographic record of the Presidency. As a courtesy, the office makes available limited numbers of White House photographs that have been released into the public domain to those requesting them. The White House has long adhered to a general policy of not approving any use of the President's name, likeness, photo- graph, or signature in advertising copy. The purpose of this policy is to avoid creating the false impression that the President is affiliated with or has endorsed a particular commercial product or enterprise, or a particular fundraising or promotional campaign in the case of advertisements placed by non-profit organizations. Since we generally do not approve the use of the President's photograph in advertising copy, we do not provide photographs to those that request them for that purpose. You should feel free to advise requesters of this policy, but if any insist on a written statement they should be referred to this office for handling. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 3, 1985 Memorandum for John Roberts, Jr. BS2 From: Barry Fernald, WW Photo Office Subject: The attached letter You and I discussed the attached letter from Mr. Joseph Gould in our telephone conversation this morning. Although I repeated the White House policy concerning the use of the Presi- dent's image in advertising and told him that I had read his letter to you, he still was not satisfied. He asked that I send him a statement containing the law on which the policy is based. Apparently, Mr. Gould doesn't feel the policy should apply to advertisements that the President might support. Do you have a brief statement citing the appropriat law that I might make available to Mr. Gould? It would be useful for me to have the precise legal language in a statement that I could send to other individuals who don't understand this policy. Thank you for your patience and for your help with this matter. Center for Defense Information Gene R. La Rocque Kermit D. Johnson Rear Admiral, USN (Ret.) Major General USA (Ret.)

ROBERTS SUBJECT: Use of Photos in Upcoming Book on the President's Early Days in Dixon Norman Wymbs of the Ronald Reagan Home Preservation Foundation has now written you to request permission to use a photograph of the President flipping through the manuscript of Wymbs's book in the book or on the dust jacket. You will recall that we discussed this earlier, in response to an inquiry from the Photo Office. You determined that the photo should not be used, not only because of the usual concern about implying endorsement of the book, but also because the book apparently contains numerous errors. The attached draft reply to Wymbs advises as tactfully as possible that the photo may not be used, despite the fact that all proceeds from the book will go to the Foundation.

M.D. VICE CHAIRMAN Counsel to the President JUDGE MIKE KINNEY. SECRETAR) MARLIN MISNER. TREASURER The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 C. KENNETH BLOOD FINANCE CHAIRMAN Dear Mr. Fielding: JAMES T. HICKEY HISTORIAN I have received from Miss Osborne's office a number of photos to be used in the upcoming book or President Reagan's early years in Dixon, Illinois. Among those photos IS one taken in the Oval Office with the President thumbing through an early draft of the manuscript as I watch. Miss Osborne indicated in a recent phone conversation that this particular shot was being reviewed by your office concerning whether it could be used in the book, or more probably on the dust cover. IN can understand the concern over possible exploitation of the President, and the danger of an author (myself) trying to capitalize on his name and position. To make clear that I in no way am trying to acquire personal gain in this way, 1 would like to restate something I've said before, but which, may have slipped through the cracks of the information you have on hand. This book 15 being assigned totally to the RR Home Foundation, all royalties and profits from Its sales will go to the Foundation to help maintain the President's boyhood home. I am not and never will be a candidate for public office, and can assure you no capital will be made on this. We are hopeful, nowever, that your opinion will be favorable as WS. know such a. connection cannot but help to sell the book and help our project.

PURPOSE: For the President to meet and be photographed with officers of one of the largest radio networks. BACKGROUND: RKO Radio Networks were taken over in April by a company headed by Dick Clark, United Stations Radio Networks. This company dealt with entertainment programming, and bought RKO Radio Network in tact, so that it would include a news operation. This acquisition added RKO's 600 stations carrying newscasts to the 2,000 stations getting entertainment programming from United Stations Radio Networks. This would be an opportunity for the President to shake hands with their officers.

The child will be honored at a school assembly.

COOK SUPERVISOR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION PRINCIPAL September 23, 1985 Clauder President Ronald Regan The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D. C. 20500 Dear Mr. President, On November 27, 1985 our entire school of Paxtonia Elementary in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is joining together to welcome a fourth grader, Zhenia Klevitsky, as a new United States citizen. Zehnia and her parents, Anatoly and Mary, emigrated five years ago from Russia. We are trying to make this important event very memorable for Zhenia. We are having an assembly on the 27th in her honor and the entire school will be wearing red, white, and blue, and we also hope to have a balloon launch in her honor. I feel that a letter or some acknowledgement from her new president would 11 mean a great deal to both Zhenia and her parents. We appreciate anything you can do for this occasion. Just a thought - Paxtonia Elementary School is only an hour flight by helicopter from Washington.

The United States Mint is presently directing an international marketing effort for the Statue of Liberty Coin Program. We have appointed distributors throughout Europe who will purchase the coins directly from the Mint and sell them to their clients (banks and retailers in Europe) who will in turn sell them to the public. We would very much like to use the photograph attached in the brochure we are supplying to the distributors as well as make this photograph available to members of the press who desire a color photograph. I have attached a photocopy of the text of the brochure for your information. I am working with the advertising firm of Lintas Brussels and they do need to know if we are able to utilize this photo early next week. Would it be possible for you to contact me by telephone tomorrow or Monday to indicate if this will be possible? My telephone number is (202) 376-1333. Your assistance would be deeply appreciated.
