As you probably know, I am a member of Team 100 and have been a California Republican Eagle for the past eight years. More importantly, I have been a Republican since my college days, more than 25 years ago. I have been an active supporter of the Bush Campaigns since 1979, and am proud to support the Bush Administration now. As an American businessman who, for the last fifteen years, has been involved in taking American business and technology to European, Middle and Near-Eastern markets, I have had many occasions to meet with leaders of the moderate Arab states, and developed close personal friendships and ties which may help promote the cooperation and trust between our nations. Would you please use your good offices to find a place at the table for a loyal supporter? Please let me know by return mail if I can expect a favorable response to my request. As always, I remain Cordially, Sam Bannel Sam Bamieh 1650 SOUTH AMPHLETT BOULEVARD SAN MATEO CA 94402 USA FAX: 415 349-0759 TEL: 415 349-7837 ID# 020941 THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENCE TRACKING WORKSHEET INCOMING DATE RECEIVED: MARCH 28, 1989 NAME OF CORRESPONDENT: MRS.

Boland 4 Century Road Nashua, New Hampshire 03060 March 23, 1989 Dear Mr. Sununu, I have on my desk a proclamation scroll that my son Stephen J. Boland brought home to us after his visit with you last Summer. The scroll was proclaming "National Research Day". Steve worked for New England Interviewing located here in Nashua. He was SO proud to have met and talked with you. Steve, as you may or may not know, was returning from London on PAN AM Flight 103. He was as Junior at Syracuse University's SI Newhouse School of Public Communication. He thought that by studying for a Semester in London he would gain valuable information to help him in his chosen field of Advertising. He loved all the traveling he did but was very anxious to get home for Christmas and to return to the Syracuse campus. This tragedy did not have to happen to us or any of the other families. I have enclosed a flyer I made and sent to our State Senators and Representatives hoping that you will all realize these victims are not just statistics but REAL sons and daughters. Please help in anyway you can to make reforms in the present security proceedures at airports thoughout the United States and thoughout the World where we all would like to travel. We will be in Washington on April 3rd for a Memorial vigil at 2 PM. Steve's father, sister, girlfriend and I will be there. We need yoursupport. Thank you for your time and considerations.

Bailey, Sr. President March 24, 1989 The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: My wife, Edna, joins me in extending to you our congratulations on your appointment as Chief of Staff for President Bush. We are certain that the outstanding manner in which you performed as Governor of New Hampshire has resulted in your being eminently prepared for the challenges of your new position of leadership. Certainly our President needs persons such as yourself, with the training, experience and vision to assist and counsel him in these troubled times, You have our very best wishes in all that you will be called upon to undertake. We are planning to attend the Government Affairs Conference of the New England League of Savings Institutions which is being held at the Washington Court on Capitol Hill, April 26-28, 1989, This conference is being held for the purpose of presenting the views of the New England thrift industry on the "Bush Plan" for resolving the FSLIC crisis, to our New England Senators and Representatives. The intent is to do this through individual meetings with the New England delegation. During this conference there will be two early evening receptions, one on Wednesday, April 26, and the other on Thursday, April 27, 1989. If your schedule permits, we would be both pleased and honored if you and Mrs. Sununu could join us at either (or both) of these receptions. The conference will be attended by leaders of the New England thrift industry, and I am sure that you will find many old friends there. Also, again - your schedule permitting, Edna and I would be most pleased if you and Mrs. Sununu could join us for dinner following the reception. I will advise you of the time at a later date. Obviously, this invitation extends to President and Mrs. Bush; however, I am unsure of the protocol involved. Would you please, at your discretion, either discuss this with the President or advise me of the proper steps to follow when issuing such an invitation. In closing, I must express my admiration for President Bush's prompt action in presenting a comprehensive plan for dealing with the insolvency of the FSLIC, Although the plan itself may not be totally acceptable to all parties involved, the very fact that President Bush acted promptly and in a positive manner in offering a solution to a problem which has been sidestepped and ignored for many years, bodes well for his administration. I would be very pleased if a brief appointment with President Bush could be arranged during our stay in Washington in order that I might extend my personal congratulations to him; however, if this is not possible, will you please do so on my behalf. 45 WAKEFIELD STREET P.O.

Allan Bromley Henry Ford II Professor and Director 203-432-3082 March 27, 1989 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff Executive Office of the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: I much appreciate your taking time in what must be an almost impossible schedule to talk with me last Friday. The Science Adviser position is one that I believe offers major opportunities for service to the Bush Administration and to the nation both in the science for policy and policy for science areas, and I was very much heartened to hear of your desire to return the office to something more like the level of influence and activity it enjoyed under President Kennedy. Members of the President's Council on Science and Technology - or whatever the exact title may be - will I am confident, be prepared to devote substantially greater time and effort to the activities of the Council themselves, as well as attract a larger fraction of the nation's most able scientists and engineers into related subpanel and other activities, than has been characteristic of the White House Science Council. The development of improved communication and understanding between the Administration and the broader scientific and engineering communities that will flow from such activities will be of particular importance. As one of the very few Republicans on this academic campus I have been very much disappointed by the depth of my colleagues' lack of understanding of the extent to which the Reagan Administration was working on their behalf and by their unwillingness to give it even the benefit of doubt on many important issues. That such attitudes are passed on to generations of students can be very destructive, although as I mentioned to you, our students, at least, are becoming increasingly resistant to them. I have long felt that both the Department of Defense and the academic world - particularly the scientific and technological component of it - would greatly benefit from a rebuilding of the bridges between them that functioned so well in the immediate post World War II decades - and indeed until the late 1960's and Vietnam. Real progress is being made but much remains to be done. - -2- - I had planned to leave the enclosed biographical and bibliographical material with you on Friday but found that the copy I had with me was faulty; the enclosed copy is an up-to-date one. Again my thanks for taking time to talk with me. I should be happy to provide any additional information that you might find useful. Having admired your activities as Governor of New Hampshire - - particularly with reference to Seabrook :- for many years, it was a particular pleasure to finally have the opportunity to meet you.

BUSHNELL P. 0. Box 483 Epsom, NH 03234 March 24, 1989 John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear John: One of the more difficult problems facing the Bush Administration is the savings and loan disaster. I use the term disaster because it is impossible to define the problem - the "go-go" company VS the company living off imprudent accounting standards set by their regulators. My associate, Arnie Danielson of Danielson Associates, Inc., has a way of getting to the heart of a problem. Enclosed is an overview of his analysis which I hope you will have someone read. His ideas were reported recently in the Washington Post and the American Banker. These recommendations call for a dramatic restructuring of the thrift industry. If we don't do it now, while a crisis provides the stage, the problem will be left to a future administration. President Bush has the appearance of a man who wants to solve problems, not coat them over for someone else to deal with at a later time. Best regards to you and Nancy, and keep up the good work.

BUCKLEY, JR. Editor March 18, 1989 Dear John: You were awfully kind to write to me on the Lieberman matter. I got a nice letter from him. It is a relief, in a way, to know that, after all, his vote was not critical: John would have lost even if he had L's vote. I take advantage of your kindness to ask you please to give special attention to the nomination of Schuyler Chapin for head of the National Endowment on the Arts. Chapin is one of the truly valuable human beings in the cultural world -- hell, I'm not going to belabor his qualifications, but I guarantee that his appointment would be greeted by universal approbation. He is apolitical, and between you and me, I think that's okay for a figure in the arts. But he is an administrative genius with the highest taste, and a wonderful record, as General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera and dean of the School of Arts of Columbia. Now are you sorry you wrote me such a nice letter? With warm regards, my friend, and don't hesitate to call on me if I can help you or the President. As always, Rece Wm. F. Buckley Jr. The Hon.

C. 20500 Dear Governor: I am writing in strong support of Michael Winn to serve in the Bush/Quayle Administration in a Congressional Relations or Public Affairs capacity. From my position as a recent candidate for the U.S. Senate, I had the opportunity to observe Mike in action and can attest to the fact that he would serve the Administration very well. Mike served as Director of Campaign Finance and as PAC Director for the Republican Senatorial Committee. He worked to ensure that the campaign had the necessary resources to succeed. Mike was a valuable part of our team and contributed greatly to my ultimate succes. As you will note on the attached resume, Mike has spent the last eight years helping to elect Republican candidates to federal office. His years in private political consulting and with the Republican Senatorial Committee have made him well-known and well-respected among members of the U.S. Senate and their staff. I think he would be and outstanding choice for any Congressional relations office. I understand that Mike is primarily interested in the Energy and Commerce Department, the Small Business Administration, or, the U.S. Information Agency. The Honorable John Sununu February 6, 1989 Page 2 I hope that Mike will be given very serious consideration as the Administration moves to fill the Republican vacancies. I am confident that he would be a valuable asset to the Administration.

MANAGEMENT. 66121 AOPA AIRCRAFT OWNERS AND PILOTS ASSOCIATION 50years and climbing 421 Aviation Way Frederick, Maryland 21701-4798 Telephone (301) 695-2000 Telex 89-3445 FAX (301) 695-2375 August 18, 1989 Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor Sununu, We note with extreme interest a front-page story in the August 16 edition of The Washington Post regarding the President's anti-drug efforts. Contained in the newspaper account was a statement which read, "At the same time, at the border relatively less emphasis " will be placed on interdicting drugs We fully agree with the President's approach which brings up another critical point. As an amendment to the Department of Defense authorization bill, Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell introduced language which would allow federal law enforcement agencies to shoot down aircraft suspected of drug smuggling. Governor, although we are one hundred percent supportive of the war on drugs, in the simplest terms and for a wide range of reasons, that's nuts! Attached is a letter which we sent to Senator McConnell which explains our position in detail. Given the focus of the President's drug program and the absolute lunacy of Senator McConnell's proposal, we hope that The White House will do all that it can to kill this amendment. We also note that the President soon will be speaking to the Nation on a variety of subjects including America's war on drugs. You may recall information we recently sent to you regarding the announcement of the AOPA Airport Neighborhood Watch Program--a cooperative effort between AOPA, FAA, U.S. Customs Service, and the National Crime Prevention Council to help stop the use of aircraft and airports in drug trafficking. Since the Washington news conference, the program has received favorable media response throughout the country. In fact, we are even receiving calls from representatives of other nations wanting more information about the program. Our hope is that the President will look favorably on this cooperative government/aviation/community initiative and speak kindly of it in his address to the Nation. Member of International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot Associations Honorable John H. Sununu August 18, 1989 page two On another subject, although we are supportive of Secretary Skinner's development of a national transportation policy, we are very much concerned about the framework and process being utilized. Based on much of what is contained in volume one of the DOT publication titled Moving America: New Directions, New Opportunities--Building the National Transportation Policy, along with the rapid speed with which the policy developmental process is evolving, we believe that aviation--especially general aviation--will fail to receive adequate national attention. In our view, the final result will be an inferior product focused on highways and mass transit in major metropolitan areas, with little consideration given to air transportation between rural communities or between small communities and major city centers. It sounds like MASSPORT all over again, doesn't it? Enclosed is a letter we recently sent to Secretary Skinner expressing our concerns. Because of your interest and help with the MASSPORT issue, we are hopeful that you will take a similar interest in this as well. We have just received a note from Mr. Joseph W. Hagin II, deputy assistant to the President for appointments and scheduling informing us that the President would be unable to attend our 50th anniversary convention in Orlando in October. We naturally are disappointed. If, however, the President's plans should change, the invitation is open-ended and we would love to have him join us in October. At the suggestion of Mr. Andrew Card, my staff has talked with Ms. Jackie Kennedy of your staff trying to arrange a time when we could visit for a few minutes. Althoughjwe have not yet heard back from Ms. Kennedy, I am hopeful that an appointment can be arranged soon. Best regards John L. Baker President P.S. We have just learned that the First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston has affirmed the DOT decision regarding the MASSPORT PACE plan. This is a major victory for all of us and your past help is most appreciated. Attached for your information is the news release we issued on the subject.

Sununu, Chief of Staff to the President, The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D. C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: MY recent visit to the White House for the President's "thank you" recep- tion for his Finance Committee members was a memorable treat. I also enjoyed our very brief introductory chat. For whatever interest they may have I am enclosing a series of memorandi that I have written to my clientele over the past year. They are entitled and dated as follows: Commentary on The Bush Campaign 5/12/88 The Reagan Legacy and Where Do We Go From Here 6/14/88 Let The Music Begin 8/19/88 Bar-B-Q and A Limited National Menu 10/21/88 Read My Memo 11/14/88 In Pursuit of Happiness or Spend $19.95 11/17/88 (*) Why Sununu 11/21/88 Apples Don't Fall Up 12/5/88 Inaugural Insights 1/23/89 George Bush The Pointillist President 8/18/89 (*) I sent a copy of same to President Bush but frankly I do not know whether he ever received it. Member of principal stock and commodity exchanges Drexel Burnham Lambert Incorporated August 18, 1989 - Mr. John H. Sununu I am pleased to have been an early supporter of The President and subse- quent events more than justify my faith. I believe that some of the critical social issues we face are of cancerous proportions and therefore call for a less political and more long term approach. The decline in our "national sense of values" and the disentegration of the family unit are disheartening. All societies inevitably rest upon their family unit and draw their strength, or weakness as the case may be, from same. I find it perversely ironic that just at the time our "adversaries" are realizing the value in our approach (social, political and economic Democracy) we are hemorrhaging fiscally, are producing a less educated and literate citizenry and suffer from spreading dope and crime problems. These are discouraging trends and must be redressed or America will ultimately find itself unable to effectively compete in the global economy. The consequence - a lower standard of living, a frightening prospect that I pray my children and grandchildren will not have to bear. A seventy percent job rating is a commendable statistic but if it reflects nearer term approaches to longer term problems the administra- tion may find its eventual footing resting on sand. Such an approach ulti- mately can become this administration's achilles heel. I hope you enjoy these memos and find them of some interest. Good luck and best wishes.

We decided our keynote speaker had to be someone with pro-life convictions who has earned the high esteem of our countrymen. This is our invitation to you to be that speaker. You were chosen unanimously by our commitee because of our admiration and respect for you and all you represent. We believe each human life is a continuum from conception to natural death. MCFL's objective is to defend the right to life of all, born and unborn, through education and legislation. We include the cities and towns in central Massachusetts and are located in Worcester, the heart of the Commonwealth. We are a non-profit org- anization of volunteers and the dinner is our only fund-raising event. It would be a great pleasure and an even greater honor if you would accept our invitation. Your presence will powerfully advance our cause because of your strong pro-life advocacy. We would be able to cover your round-trip air fare, accommodations and a gratuity of $300. The tentative dates are: March 31, April 7, 21, or 28, 1990. We would be happy to change the date to another time during a Spring weekend if these conflict with your schedule. Because further planning for this event is contingent upon your reply we hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience. This reply and any requests for information may be addressed to: Mrs. Genevieve R. Bashour, 34 Sunset Drive, Northboro, MA. 01532. (508) 393-2026.

Sununu, Muld Valoul Sucretary Regarding my last correspondence to you of August 7, I have received word through your assistant, Ms. Kennedy, and PREMISSIONS Linison from our Washington contact, Mr. David Epperly, with whom you spoke directly, that an August 25 appointment is not possible, for a number of reasons. I understand that the President will simply not be in Washington on that date, and that in any event, we should be in a position to present to you or the President, some rather concrete, constructive proposals that have wide spread support in the community. We are developing such proposals for presentation to the Congress following the August recess. We will make a similar presentation to the Council of Lebanese American Organizations to obtain a consensus. Because of the renewed urgency of the crisis in Lebanon due to events that occurred over the weekend, I am renewing our request for the President to receive a delegation from the national leadership to allow us to make a direct appeal and presentation of our proposals. We only ask for the in. earliest possible date for which the President can fit us We see the direct involvement of the Syrian Army in the attempt to breach the red line at Souk el Garb over the week end, reports of a second such ground assault, the massing of Syrian tanks at Douar east of Bikfiya, and the summoning of Jumblatt and Berri to Damascus for a meeting with the Iranian Foreign Minister as developments which compel us to make this urgent request for a meeting. Ground assaults across these red lines is a dangerous escalation and the introduction of the Iranian element suggests that Lebanon may become the site of a renewal of the Iran/Iraq conflict. The Iranians, as you may know, offered a blank check to the Syrians to take Aoun out as revenge against Iraq. We must take the wheels off of this insanity before it truly becomes "intractable".

In this vein, we would recommend to the war President the following measures, to be adopted either Council unilaterally, or in concert with all members of the Security of the United Nations: 1. Order the removal of all engineering and oil company personnel from Syrian oil fields. banks and suppliers. 2. Suspend all credit lines to Syria from Western Lebanese Army patrol and interdict all shipments of 3. As a part of the U.S. War on Drugs, assist the narcotics emanating from Lebanon. 4. Actively persuade the Kuwaitis and Saudis to suspend all payments and subsidies to the Syrian regime. 5. Seek the cooperation of the Soviets to end all shipments to Syria of the devastating 240mm mortars and shells which are raining down on Lebanese civilians. Syria is not economically self sustaining. It relies on foreign subsidies for its domestic spending and on the exploitation of the Bekaa Valley and the drug trade, which it supports there, to finance its foreign adventures. The U.S. can have the leverage that we need by directing our policies at these two exposed financial underpinnings of the Syrian regime.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor: I hope you won't consider it an imposition if -- recalling our November meeting at Norman Podhoretz's home -- I take advantage of our acquaitanceship to recommend an outstanding candidate for federal office. I beleive the Bush administration could do no better than to name William F. Squadron to the "Democratic/independent" seat on the Federal Communications Commission, a seat which has been open since July 1, 1989. I can't pretend an absence of bias with regard to Bill Squadron. He is an old and dear friend whom I respect and admire -- for his loyalty, fairness, judgement and personal strength. Still, he is also an esteemed member of the communications bar and a recognized expert in administrative law. As a Washington-based partner in the firm of Morrison & Foerster, he has specialized in telecommunications matters, particularly those involving advanced technologies. He has also taught administrative law at the Georgetown University Law Center together with Judge Lawrence H. Silberman of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. I think it's relevant to note that Mr. Squadron's personal views on communications regulation reflect a pragmatic, free- market philosophy. I doubt the Bush administration could fill a Democratic seat with a more sympathetic appointee. In truth, I can imagine no more appropriate nominee -- Democrat or Republican. William Squadron, to be sure, is remarkably young -- at the age of 34 -- for a seat on the FCC. But he is also young to be a partner at a major law firm; young to teach at a prestigious law school; and young to have written SO widely in his field. And, in a sense, it's fitting that a young and dynamic man should have established himself SO securely in this young and dynamic field. The resume and writings I attach indicate that Mr. Squadron has been a journalist and a White House staffer, that he has handled major communications cases for his firm and that he has worked on Capitol Hill. What such documents cannot communicate is the sensitivity and thoughtfulness with which Bill Squadron approaches all of the tasks before him; the loyalty that defines his character -- loyalty that I know would be directed to you and to the Bush administration at large, notwithstanding party affiliation. Again, Governor, I hope you won't think it inappropriate that I've stepped out of my Editorial Page Editor's role for a moment to recommend an outstanding candidate for a federal post. As I'm sure you know, journalists don't use superlatives lightly or easily -- in this respect, I'm no exception. Thus when I say that I can't imagine this administration making a better appointment to the FCC, I speak from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for your kind attention. I hope we in New York will future. have another opportunity to see you in the not too distant Yours sincerely, EmBuN Eric Breindel EB/eb encl.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Re: Administration's Clean Air Act bill (H.R. 3030) Dear Governor Sununu: You will see from the enclosed letter to Congress that the American Leasing Association (AALA) supports the Bush Administration's Clean Automotive Air Act amendments in H.R. 3030. Our our interest in this legislation stems from our support for cleaner air and Congressional concern that vehicle fleets are treated unfairly by the other from trade bills on clean air, H.R. 99 and H.R. 2323. AALA is competing on lease association whose members have over two million (2,000,000) motor a national account to commercial users, generally in vehicle fleets. The members vehicles of vehicles. for approximately 95% of the commercial market for fleets of motor AALA We vehicles" think the provisions in the Administration's bill dealing with provisions are comprehensive, even-handed and workable. We support "clean "clean-fuel fleets like those in H.R. 3030, which do not discriminate against vehicle fuel" and are more likely to succeed in reducing air pollution. Sincerely, DOUGLAS President S.
