Dear Rey:
Thank you for your letter of March 30, 1989, in which you
enclose materials about the 1994 World Cup bid effort.
I am glad to hear that the White House staff and the Department
of Commerce staff are cooperating so well with you. Thanks for
taking the time to keep me up to date.
With best wishes,
Sincerely,

Dear Andy:
I read with great interest the 3/31/89 Tom Boswell article in The Washington Post about the
President's wide interest in sports. The one Boswell sentence that President Bush thought soccer
was "his best sport" when at Yale, really caught my attention.
At the risk of inundating you with more material about my current activities, I have enclosed
a few documents that relate to the two-year 1994 World Cup bid effort.
The 1989 business plan defines the activities that are the focus of the organization for the
rest of this year. The plan was prepared by Scott LeTellier, the new president of the Organizing
Committee, who worked with me during the preparation of the United States Soccer Federation's
successful bid. The United States was designated, last July 4 by the Federation Internationale de
Football Association (FIFA), as the host nation for the 1994 event. (The Eddie Mahe, Jr. &
Associates newsletter article gives a pretty good summary of the events leading up to the
designation.)
I developed a very good working relationship with U.S. Commerce's Travel and Tourism
division during the course of the bid process. The White House staff were quite helpful too during
the critical period when we needed to secure several agency letters, as well as one from President
Reagan for the bid document.
I will continue to serve the World Cup '94 Organizing Committee as its liaison to the venues
and federal government and among my priorities will be the scheduling of a meeting with
Commerce Under Secretary-designate Schnabel so that we might establish a new working
relationship.
The enclosed information is simply FYI (you don't need to acknowledge receipt of this pack-
age). I'll informally keep you apprised of our activities and perhaps later in 1989, will find an
occasion to visit with you on this matter. ru speak with you in the future.
Sincerely,
My Rey Post

WORLD CUP '94 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE
1989 BUSINESS PLAN
Scott Parks LeTellier
February 15, 1989
This document constitutes a 1989 Business Plan for the
corporation (referred to herein as the "World Cup '94 Organizing
Committee" or "World Cup '94") to be formed to organize the 1994
FIFA World Cup on behalf of FIFA and the United States Soccer
Federation. This memorandum consists of six parts:
1.
Functional Categories. Based upon a review of
(a) the final report prepared by the Los Angeles Olympic
Organizing Committee ("LAOOC") following the 1984 Olympic Games,
(h) the FIFA Terms of Reference for the 1994 FIFA World Cup (the
"Terms of Reference"), (c) final reports of previous World Cup
organizing committees (principally Germany F.R. in 1974), and an
analysis of the specific tasks which will be unique to the 1994
FIFA World Cup, a list (comprising Section 1) of functional
categories broadly identifying all tasks or areas of activity to
be performed or with which World Cup 'S4 must be concerned at
some point during or prior to 1994 has been developed. (The two
digit numbers opposite each functional category represent the
first two digits of functional category computer organizational
codes discussed in greater depth in Section 2(i) below.) On the
list, categories which deserve substantive attention during 1989
are marked with an asterisk.
2. 1989 Task Categories. The functional categories
asterisked on the list contained in Section 1 are discussed in
depth in Section 2. (The Board of Directors and Task Forces
categories are discussed in Section 4 and the Human Resources
category in Section 5.)
3. Top 14 1989 World Cup '94 Priorities. Section 3
consists of a chart detailing the 14 most important tasks to be
accomplished during 1989.
4. Organizational Structure. An organizational
chart for World Cup '94 during the 1994 operational phase,
together with an explanation of various components of it,
comprises Section 4.
5. 1989 Staffing. Initial staffing requirements of
World Cup '94 through 1989 are projected in Section 5.
6. Attributes of the Organization. Finally, in
Section 6, seven attributes which should characterize the World
Cup '94 Organizing Committee are suggested.
All references contained in this Business Plan to the
masculine or feminine genders shall be considered references to
either or both, as the context requires.

SECTION 2
1989 TASK CATEGORIES
The 1989 actions associated with the functional
categories asterisked on the list in Section 1 may be summarized
as follows:
(a) Administration. During 1989, a permanent
headquarters site for World Cup '94 must be established. For
the following reasons, with due consideration given to New York
City and Southern California, the site should be Washington,
D.C.:
(i) Time Zone. The Eastern time zone is only
six hours removed from Zurich time, whereas the Pacific time
zone is nine. As a result, the availability of telephone
communication with FIFA during normal working hours ends at 8:00
a.m. California time, but extends to 11:00 a.m. Eastern time.
This lessened communication ability with FIFA, combined with the
three hour domestic time differential between Southern
California and the centers of government relations work
(Washington, D.C.) and marketing and television activity
(principally New Yerk) is a substantial consideration Cavoring
an East Coast location.
(ii) Government Liaison. The LAOOC established a
government liaison office in Washington, D.C. in early 1983 to
coordinate its activities with most of the same governmental
departments and agencies World Cup USA 1994, Inc. dealt with in
the bid process. In addition to this department and agency
liaison function, a government liaison office in Washington,
D.C. will permit World Cup '94 to establish, at one location
rather than multiple home district offices, relationships with
the staffs of the Senators and members of the House of
Representatives in whose states or districts the 1994 World Cup
will be played.
Given the greatly increased number of
jurisdictions in which the 1994 World Cup will be played, in
contrast to the 1984 Olympic Games, the need for such a
government liaison office for World Cup '94 is considerably more
compelling. Combining the government liaison office with the
headquarters office will result in a considerable cost saving
and permit World Cup '94 to make more early government liaison
progress than the LAOOC was able to do.
(iii) Proximity to Venues. Washington, D.C. is
relatively centrally located to the majority of the currently
proposed venues, most of which are located in the Eastern United
2169S:021789
-6-
States. The metropolitan Washington, D.C. area itself contains
two venues proposed for 1994 (RFK Stadium and the Navy-Marine
Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis) and not inconceivably could
be a candidate to host the finals should the new stadium
proposed for the Washington Redskins be built. New York, on the
other hand, has no presently viable venue possibility.
(iv) Proximity to Marketing and Television
Partners. Washington, D. C. is, compared to Southern
California, relatively near New York City, where most of the
major marketing and television issues will be negotiated and
concluded. While a New York headquarters office obviously would
provide greater proximity in this regard, at least one of the
principal marketing and television firms (USA Soccer Properties,
Inc.) World Cup '94 will engage to assist in these matters is
located in New York City.
(v) International Relationships. While the
majority of communications with FIFA member countries eligible
for participation in the 1994 FIFA World Cup will be routed
through FIFA headquarters in Zurich, additional access to each
of these countries through the diplomatic and consular corps in
Washington, D.C. will greatly facilitate planning for the event,
reduce foreign misperceptions concerning World Cup '94 plans
and, hopefully, help to spur international ticket sales.
(vi) Proximity to Board Members. The President
of the Federation, who will be Chairman of and have ultimate
authority with respect to World Cup '94, lives near
Philadelphia, only a few hours distant from Washington, D.C.
Given his location and the likely East Coast location of a
majority of other World Cup '94 Board members, a Washington,
D.C. base will permit more frequent, and more meaningful,
coordination and consultation between the Board of Directors and
the President of World Cup '94 as the organizational process
develops.
Not later than 1992, it will be necessary to
establish, in addition to the Washington, D.C. principal
headquarters location, an operations center. The location of
the center should be put to bid among cities (such as Atlanta,
Dallas, St. Louis, Kansas City, or Memphis, or a suburban
Washington, D.C. location near Dulles International Airport)
which have (A) a central airport hub with direct flights to all
or substantially all of the venue cities, (B) a skilled work
force available at relatively low cost, (C) available or donated
space at low or no cost to house the operations staff through
the end of the competition and (D) civic willingness to support
a paid staff with energetic volunteer support.
A second headquarters site also must be established
(not later than early 1993) at the site where the finals will be
2169S:021789
-7-
played and the FIFA headquarters located. Branch sites in the
other venue cities (optimally at the venue itself) must also be
established in 1992 or early 1993. The cost of the second
headquarters and branch sites will be allocated, to the extent
possible, to the civic support groups to be established in each
community.
(b) Budget. An immediate priority in 1989 is to
develop a computerized revenue and expense model for each year
from 1989 to 1994. The first step in this process is to prepare
a budget of games operational expenses for a hypothetical
"model" venue and then extrapolate the conclusion to 12 venues.
(c) Corporate Relations - Suppliers and Licensees.
Identifying and contracting with major international sponsors is
the province of the Swiss based marketing company, ISL, pursuant
to an agreement with FIFA. Once the FIFA-World Cup '94
contractual arrangement (discussed in Section (e) below) is
negotiated, the categories and number of marketing partners
World Cup '94, together with firms (such as USA Soccer
Properties, Inc.) it will use in the process, will be able to
solicit will be determined. The sponsors of the bid related
activities of World Cup USA 1994, Inc., companies which
contributed so substantially to the designation of the United
Stotes as host country, must be given every opportunity to
become involved as a marketing partner with the 1994 FIFA World
Cup itself. Income to be derived from USA based suppliers to
and licensees of World Cup '94 (which, pursuant to the Terms of
Reference, World Cup '94 has the right to identify and enter
contracts with), together with the sale of tickets, will be the
largest determinants of the financial viability of the
undertaking. In view of this, it is imperative that World Cup
'94 accomplish the following in 1989:
(i) Hire Vice President/Corporate Relations.
Hire an experienced, energetic Vice President/Corporate
Relations;
(ii) Presentation Package. Develop (with
computer aided design and in coordination with the expertise of
consultants such as USA Soccer Properties, Inc.) a sophisticated
presentation package (including a video component) for use with
potential corporate marketing partners;
(iii) Benefit Packages. Design (in conjunction
with USA Soccer Properties, Inc., the Corporate Marketing Task
Force and other outside consultants, and in conformity with FIFA
requirements and ISL sponsor exclusivity) benefit packages to be
offered to potential marketing partners in exchange for
predetermined (according to the type of marketing partner
category and differentiated by product category) dollar or in
kind commitment;
2169S:021789
-8-
(iv) Commence Solicitation. Commence the active
solicitation of potential marketing partners; and
(v) Licensing Program. Develop the conceptual
basis for the World Cup '94 licensing program.
(d) Design/Symbols/Look/Signage/Graphics A legally
protectable logo and symbol to be offered to World Cup '94
corporate marketing partners must be developed in 1989. The
present logo used by World Cup USA 1994, Inc. in the bid process
should be abandoned for two reasons. First, from a design
standpoint, it is simply inadequate. Second, developing a new
logo unique to the World Cup ' 94 Organizing Committee will, from
a legal standpoint, better protect marketing partner exclusivity
to it. A design firm (perhaps in the entertainment industry)
experienced both in the design and protection of corporate marks
should be retained to develop, in concert with applicable FIFA
marks, the World Cup '94 logo. Similarly, the World Cup '94
mascot, also subject to marketable rights, should be developed
for unveiling during or shortly after the 1990 World Cup in
Italy. An original music score composed and performed by well
recognized names in the music industry, will be created, if
possible, for release in conjunction with the mascot unveiling.
(e) FIFA Contractual Matters. The Terms of Reference
calls for a FIFA contract to be negotiated and executed after
the award. This negotiation must be conducted as soon as
possible to resolve a number of outstanding marketing and
television issues.
(f) Finance and Fundraising. World Cup '94 must
adopt the philosophy that corporate marketing dollars, not
charitable dollars, will augment event generated revenues to
permit it to operate profitably. Fundraising efforts should
have the satisfaction of all pre-July 4, 1988 obligations of
World Cup USA 1994, Inc. as their clearly defined express goal.
Since the World Cup '94 Organizing Committee will not accept tax
deductible charitable contributions, and was not in existence
during the bid efforts, World Cup USA 1994, Inc. must spearhead
these fundraising efforts.
At least until the long form venue agreements are
negotiated and a well defined package of venue city concessions
is solicited, venues should not be approached for additional
funds.
Initially, a line of credit needs to be obtained to
sustain the operations of World Cup '94 at least through early
1990. Proceeds from this line of credit will be used to cover
1989 operating expenses and pay for the development of a
2169S: 021789
-9-
commercially marketable logo and mascot. All marketing
contracts entered by World Cup '94 will require substantial up
front payments, which, in the aggregate, together with monies
due from FIFA to defray organizational expenses of World Cup
'94, should permit World Cup '94 to retire the line of credit
debt and sustain operations through the planning phase. In
addition, in conjunction with the joint FIFA/World Cup '94
domestic television rights negotiations, it may be possible to
obtain advance deposits (to be retained by World Cup '94) from
interested networks or cable operators wishing to secure the
1994 United States English language broadcast rights.
(g) Government Relations. An initial liaison
relationship needs to be established in 1989 with the key
government agencies, particularly the Commerce Department, which
were instrumental in providing the government assurances made to
FIFA during the bid process. The real focus of government
relations efforts will not begin until 1990, but a World Cup '94
presence must be made known as soon as possible.
(h) Insurance. Insurance requirements for the 1994
FIFA World Cup itself will be the subject of careful, but later,
negotiation with FIFA and its insurers. The specific coverages
required are identified in the Terms of Reference and have been
amplified in subsequent documents prepared by FIFA's insurance
representatives. However, general liability and other business
insurance coverages will need to be determined and obtained by
World Cup '94 during 1989 to provide for the interim.
(i) Internal Communications/Technology. One of the
principal World Cup '94 organizational tasks vastly more complex
than its counterpart with the 1984 Olympic Games (ticket
marketing and discharging the host broadcaster function for
international satellite television signal transmission being the
others) is the integration of as many as 12 separate venue sites
in as many as eight or nine different states and four time
zones. Computer network technology is a material ingredient to
the solution for this challenge.
World Cup '94 must develop a computer and technology
orientation from the very outset. Computerized access to
incoming and outgoing communications and computerized filing,
task analysis and networked internal messaging systems are
essential to lay the groundwork for necessary long distance,
venue to headquarters access and coordination. The encoded
functional categories identified in Section 1, together with
simple letter codes to be assigned to, for example, potential
venues, FIFA countries, stadia, jurisdictions and various
categories of individuals or entities with an interest in or
affiliation with World Cup '94 can easily serve as the
architecture for a centralized and computerized World Cup '94
filing system if timely implemented.
2169S:021789
-10-
The broad appeal of the FIFA World Cup will create a
nearly insatiable demand by the general public, participating
countries, the press, Federation affiliates, venues, government
agencies, Task Force members, venue staffs, civic groups, etc.
to remain informed concerning World Cup '94 progress. All of
these groups have a reasonable entitlement to receive current
information relevant to their particular interest.
To satisfy these legitimate demands, World Cup '94
should do three things. First, it should establish (i) a series
of telephone accessible recorded voice mail informational
messages, updated at least biweekly, targeted to different
audiences, by which a person desiring information can dial a
discrete telephone number given to him for that purpose, and
(ii) a data bank of press releases, general information printed
material, printed updates and other disseminable information,
also targeted to different audiences, accessible by computer
modem through discrete codes provided for that purpose. For
example, officers of each state association affiliated to the
Federation will be given the telephone number (or extension)
which accesses a weekly update targeted to the broader
informational needs of Federation affiliates, as well as a
computer moder code number for an alternative means of receiving
information. Civic support groups, as a further example, would
be given different access numbers and be able to receive
information targeted to a differenc audience. The general
public, through an automated telephone data base with touch tone
selection features, may receive thorough answers to repetitive
inquiries such as how to purchase tickets, which venues will be
used, how do I volunteer, etc.
Second, once the information systems described in the
preceding paragraph are functional, a wide scale educational
process will be initiated to explain how to use the systems and
to place the "burden" to remain informed on the person desiring
information. If such an individual fails to avail himself of
the weekly telephone updates, or obtain information by a
computer modem link, the responsibility for such lack of
information will be his.
Third, recognizing that there will be some resistance
to such modern communication means and that the concept does not
work well outside the borders of the United States, World
Cup '94 will publish informative, well designed and written
quarterly and annual newsletters, in addition to periodic
targeted, mass mailing informational letters, using the most
recent advances in personal computer desktop publishing. The
mailing list, and the cost associated with its size, should be
able to be reduced to the extent that the telephone and computer
informational systems become well accepted.
2169S:021789
-11-
World Cup '94 should seize on this same technology to
cut personnel expenses and improve internal communications. For
example, voice mail communications can be used by staff members
to avoid trading phone calls and automated message taking
features can substantially decrease secretarial and receptionist
time and cost.
Eventually, it is hoped, one or more United States
suppliers interested in showcasing their technology will donate
most of the computer equipment and other technology necessary to
implement these objectives on a large scale. However, a
relatively small investment in personal computers, a networking
system and voice mail equipment, and the consulting fees of
systems designers, will be sufficient in the early days to
ingrain a computer capability throughout the organization.
(j) Legal/Contract Administration.
(i) 501(c)(4) Organizing Corporation. World Cup
USA 1994, Inc. was organized as a Delaware non-profit
corporation exempt from taxation under Section 501(c) (3) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986. As a 501 (c) (3) corporation,
World Cup USA 1994, Inc. was able to solicit tax deductible
charitable contributions from individuals wishing to support its
efforts to obtain the 1994 FIFA World Cup for the United
States However, if World Cup USA 1994, Inc. were to continue
as the organizing corporation for the 1994 FIFA World Cup, It
would likely be deemed to be a "private foundation" since its
anticipated revenues from public sources is unlikely to meet IRS
imposed thresholds. If the IRS were to classify World Cup USA
1994, Inc. as a private foundation, as opposed to a public
charity, the entity would then be subject to burdensome
reporting requirements to both the IRS and its contributors,
would be required to make annual distributions instead of
retaining contributions to pay for 1994 operations, would have
its investment income be subject to tax and, most critically,
would not be able to license its logo to its corporate sponsors,
a restriction which would make the financing of the 1994 World
Cup virtually impossible.
The solution to these difficulties is to create a
separate non-profit corporation, organized on the same basis as
World Cup USA 1994, Inc. with the Federation as the sole Class A
member, for the express purpose of organizing the 1994 World
Cup. This new corporation will apply to the IRS for tax exempt
treatment under Section 501 (c) (4) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986. Under this section of the Code, World Cup '94
Organizing Committee, Inc. will be prohibited from accepting tax
deductible charitable contributions, but may license the use of
its logo to corporate sponsors and engage in incidental lobbying
activities. World Cup USA 1994, Inc. would remain in existence
and would continue to solicit charitable contributions to retire
2169S:021789
-12-
the bid related indebtedness. (The LAOOC was also formed as a
501 (c) (4) corporation.)
The Board of Directors and officers of World Cup
USA 1994, Inc. and World Cup '94 Organizing Committee must be
substantially dissimilar, but World Cup '94 may, for value, be
assigned certain assets and obligations of World Cup USA 1994,
Inc. related to the staging of the 1994 World Cup to ensure that
contractual commitments made during the bid period with respect
to the 1994 FIFA World Cup are honored.
World Cup '94 Organizing Committee, Inc., as a
501 (c) (4) corporation, must apply its net earnings exclusively
to charitable, educational or recreational purposes.
(ii) Contract Administration. A contract
administration system must be established as soon as possible.
The first step in this process is to organize and create a
performance timetable for all contracts entered and to establish
an executed documents file accessible, via computer modem, to
all persons with a need to have such information. A system of
contract review of routine agreements to ensure the inclusion of
FIFA and USSF exculpation clauses and other standard protective
features in all World Cup '94 agreements must also be
established.
(iii) Other legal Matters. Standard supplier
and licensee agreements must be prepared in early 1989 in order
to contract with suppliers or licensees once they have been
identified. The FIFA-World Cup '94 agreement, discussed in
Section 2 (d) above, is an additional legal matter to be
addressed in 1989. Finally, long form venue contracts
(discussed in Section 2(m)), also need to be prepared and
negotiated in 1989.
A variety of complex legal issues will arise in
connection with the discharge by World Cup '94 of its television
obligations. A trademark enforcement program must begin as soon
as the World Cup '94 logos and symbols are registered.
(k) Media Relations. In connection with the early
hiring of a Director/Media Relations, an effort to cultivate
positive media relations should precede broader based community
and public relations programs. The latter programs have a more
limited "shelf life" and should be more closely coordinated with
ticket marketing efforts when the organization is in a position
(hopefully by the end of 1991) to begin them. Regular press
releases, media director telephone availability and press
information updates on both the voice messaging system and
computer data base are all a part of this undertaking.

(1) Television. A Television Task Force must be
formed as early as possible in 1989. As mentioned previously,
along with ticket marketing and the challenge to integrate
multiple locations in four time zones, the television task
facing World Cup '94 is one of the tasks far more difficult, and
complex, than its 1984 counterpart. In the likely event that
all of the major networks will be unwilling to assume the host
broadcaster function for 1994 in the fashion ABC did for the
1984 Olympic Games, the functions must be discharged by a cable
operator, if possible, or by an independent production entity.
The principal challenge in 1989 is to determine (i) whether a
network or cable operator is willing, and able, to discharge the
host broadcaster function, (ii) if not, how the independent
function should be discharged, and (iii) how, working in
conjunction with FIFA, the domestic rights for 1994 should be
packaged and sold.
(m) Venue Selection. In early 1989, a standardized
long form agreement should be prepared for use with all
potential venues, including those venues which have already
entered a Reservation Agreement and those which have
subsequently expressed interest.
Perhaps in conjunction with a Venue Task Sorce
consisting of individuals unaffiliated with potential venue
sites, World Cup .94 will reasonably determine standard amounts
it will pay to the venues in all financial areas, particularly
the percentages of ticket, concession, parking and merchandising
revenues. Long form agreements, once developed, will be
negotiated with each potential venue as a condition precedent to
that venue's consideration as a 1994 World Cup site. Each venue
will also be given a timetable for the selection process and a
list of considerations World Cup '94 and FIFA will use in making
the selection. In addition to the minimal requirements imposed
by the Terms of Reference, execution by the venue of the
standard long form agreement and considerations of heat,
humidity and proximity as they relate to athletic performance,
venues will be advised that additional concessions civic support
groups are able to provide will also strongly influence the
decision making process. Above all, the venue owners and
operators will be assured that no 1994 World Cup venue decisions
have been made and that the selection process will follow a
clearly defined timetable.
A World Cup '94 staff member will also be assigned day
to day venue coordination responsibility during 1989 to help
ensure positive relationships with these key partners to World
Cup '94 success in 1994.

SECTION 4
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
A first draft of a proposed organizational structure
for World Cup '94 is attached. The organizational design which
appears is for the operational period commencing in earnest in
early 1994.
To ensure Federation control over World Cup '94, the
President of the Federation will also be the Chairman of the
Board of World Cup '94 and will have the ultimate authority with
respect to the decisions made by World Cup '94. The President
of World Cup '94 will report and be accountable directly to the
Chairman.
In his concurrent position as President of the
Federation, the Chairman of World Cup '94 will also be the
primary line of communication between the Federation and the
World Cup '94 organization. It is anticipated that a director
or officer of the World Cup '94 organization will be designated
as the individual responsible for United States soccer
organization relations. The day to day orerations of the
Federation, conducted from the Federation headquarters in
Colorado Springs and through committee, would remain, at all
times, separate and distinct from World Cup '94 operations
although, of course, the Federation, through its officers on the
World Cup '94 Board, will control the policy direction of World
Cup '94.
To emphasize that more tasks need to be performed and
less advice sought as 1994 nears, all future task specific
committees to be formed will be referred to as Task Forces, not
Advisory Committees. Conceivably, a task force could be formed
with respect to every functional category listed in Section 1.
However, based on the experience of the LAOOC, where a huge,
mostly ceremonial Citizens Advisory Board was established, no
one should be asked to serve on a task force unless he brings a
specific expertise and willingness to work to it and a need for
such expertise and work exists. In any event, the number of
task force members should be limited. The organizational chart
reflects the identity of the principal task forces necessary to
the success of the 1994 World Cup.
The presently constituted Advisory Board to World Cup
USA 1994, Inc. will be disbanded now that the bid process is
complete. All members of the Board will be invited to serve in
a similar capacity on a World Cup '94 Organizing Committee
Advisory Board. Future members of the Advisory Board to be
selected must be, as the Chairman and other members of the World
2169S:021789
-17-
Cup USA 1994, Inc. Advisory Board are now, nationally prominent
individuals with a demonstrated interest in the World Cup who,
by virtue of their reputation and influence, will be able to be
of assistance to World Cup '94 in a wide variety of areas.
The World Cup USA 1994, Inc. Founders Club will remain
as now constituted, although future memberships will be
permitted only with a substantially larger contribution than
what has been required to date. A determination of what the
maximum number of members of this group can be must be made in
order to ensure that the promises made to them can be fulfilled
by the World Cup '94 Organizing Committee.
The Commissioner concept used so successfully during
the 1984 Olympic Games was hardly new. In fact, the planners of
the 1904 Olympic Games in Paris developed a similar concept and
even used the French word for Commissioner to entitle the men
chosen. What set the LAOOC concept apart was the talent,
ability and commitment of the individuals selected. For the
most part, LAOOC Commissioners were very prominent businessmen
capable of providing proven leadership to the organizing
committee. A Commissioner, or in some cases, Co-Commissioners,
will be selected in each potential venue city. The principal
criteria for the selection of the Commissioners are managerial
ability, keen interest in soccer and the 1994 World Cup,
influence in the community and willingness to make a substantial
time commitment, particularly in 1994. Members of the World
Cup '94 Advisory Board and Founders Club members will be
considered for the position of Commissioner, if they were
interested and willing to put forth the time required, but no
Commissioner may be affiliated with any potential venue site, as
an owner or employee, or be an executive with any potential
World Cup '94 sponsor or supplier. Advisory Board members, in
particular, would be requested to help identify potential
Commissioners.

SECTION 5
1989 STAFFING
The early integration of computer and advanced
telephone technology will permit World Cup '94 to function with
a smaller staff than would otherwise be required. For example,
the early installation of an automated switchboard will free a
receptionist from most telephone responsibility and allow extra
work to be performed at a reception desk computer workstation.
By offering the general public recorded information in response
to frequently asked questions on the same automated dial system,
the need for live public information personnel can also be
substantially reduced. The use of voice mail technology for
internal and external message taking and requiring that every
employee (both executive and clerical) of World Cup '94 be able
to use the World Cup '94 computer system (for, at the least, all
internal memoranda, messaging, reports and draft correspondence)
will permit a considerably improved executive/secretary ratio
and substantial cost savings.
By the end of 1989, a staff of eight full time
individuals should be in place, consisting of the following
positions:
(a) President. In addition to general chief
operating officer functions, the President will assume much of
the government relations role until a full time
Director/Government Relations is hired. In 1989 in particular,
the President must at all times be prepared to work with the
principals of USA Soccer Properties, Inc., the Vice
President/Corporate Relations and others to pursue any viable
marketing partner relationship.
(b) Vice President/Corporate Relations. This
individual must be a visible, energetic salesman of World
Cup '94 marketing rights, capable of working closely with USA
Soccer Properties, Inc., ISL and others associated with the
marketing of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, and experienced in the
licensing of corporate logos.
(c) Controller. Eventually, the Controller function
and that of the Technology/Office Manager will come under the
aegis of a Vice President/Administration. All accounting,
payroll and budget functions will be integrated on the World
Cup '94 computer system and the Controller, of necessity, must
have an extensive computer accounting background.
(d) Technology/Office Manager. An individual well
versed in and with an aptitude for computer system and other
2169S:021789
-19-
technology management should also, at least through 1989, be
able to double as the office manager.
(e) Director/Media Relations. Eventually, a Vice
President/External Relations will need to be hired, probably in
early 1990. The Vice President/External Relations would oversee
all community and public relations programs (all directed to
support ticket marketing objectives), and perhaps venue
relations as well. Initially, the individual hired as
Director/Media Relations will handle public, community and venue
relations as well but will, over time, relinquish non-media
relations duties as other individuals are added to handle these
functions exclusively.
(f) Administrative Assistants (2). Both of the
initial administrative assistants will be expected to perform a
variety of functions, including public information duties,
project assistance and other clerical and non-clerical duties.
Excellent word processing skills and an aptitude to learn
additional computer skills quickly will be required of both
individuals.
(g) Receptionist. After being freed from most
incoming telephone call responsibility by the automated
switchboard, the receptionist will he expected to handle word
processing and incoming mail functions in addition to receiving
visitors. As part of the World Cup '94 internal communication
process, the receptionist initially, and later other office
staff, will open and process all incoming mail by logging the
identity of the sender and the nature of the correspondence on
the computer system, scanning substantive correspondence and
documents in to the computer system and transmitting (by
computer) copies of all substantive documents according to
pre-defined routing lists. A similar procedure will be followed
with respect to all outgoing correspondence at the end of the
day.
All initial employees of World Cup '94 need to be
enthusiastic and energetic in their approach to this once in a
lifetime event. Every effort should be made in the initial
hiring to ensure that the office has language capability in the
FIFA official and working languages. Particularly, Spanish
fluency should be achieved with at least one of the 1989 World
Cup '94 hires.
All resumes and offers of volunteer services received
must be logged in to the computer system and response letters
prepared to ensure that all such inquiries, past or future, are
acknowledged.
2169S:021789

SECTION 6
ATTRIBUTES OF THE ORGANIZATION
World Cup '94, as does every organization, will adopt a
form of corporate culture and distinguish itself as an entity in
various ways. The Chairman and President of World Cup '94
should endeavor to ensure that the organization adopts the
following collective attributes:
(a) Computer and Technology Proficiency. Only in
this decade has the personal computer made it feasible for small
businesses to achieve computerized efficiency unimaginable as
recently as the time the LAOOC was formed. Given the
substantial task that World Cup '94 will face in coordinating
widely disparate venue sites, and the cost reduction aspects a
fully computerized operation can achieve, World Cup '94 should,
early in its history, from the most senior to the most junior
employee, develop a computer and technology literacy which will
set a standard for future undertakings of this type. World
Cup '94 has a distinct advantage over other businesses
comparable to it in its eventual size in that it can implement a
fully computerized strategy without having to undo or change
other operating systems or retrain employees. However. the
longer the organization goes without implementing computer and
technology opportunities, the more difficult doing so will
become.
(b) Ticket Marketing Orientation. World Cup '94 must
instill the awareness in every employee, regardless of function,
that the number one collective goal of the organization is to
fill every seat at every stadium in 1994. Due to the latent
demand for tickets to Olympic events in 1984, very little in the
way of ticket marketing had to be accomplished by the LAOOC.
Not only the Director/Ticket Marketing should be cognizant of
the potential of groups with which one may come in contact to
purchase tickets. Courtesy in individual dealings must be
emphasized, since every telephone call or personal contact is
with a potential ticket buyer. Purchases of most every good or
service need encouragement. An enthusiastic World Cup '94 staff
committed to promoting the once in a lifetime opportunity to
attend a World Cup event is the proper starting point for that
encouragement to become compelling.
(c) Volunteerism. Without a substantial commitment
by volunteers across the country to work on World Cup '94
projects, the economic viability of World Cup '94 will be
severely threatened. One of the major success stories of the
1984 Olympic Games was the ability of the LAOOC to attract tens
2169S:021789
-21-
of thousands of committed volunteers to perform often relatively
insignificant functions in return for being part of an exciting
event. Community support groups need to be encouraged from the
beginning of their existence to educate potential volunteers
that this will be the last sporting event of this magnitude in
the United States this century and perhaps in their lifetimes.
The members of our Federation affiliates should serve as a
nucleus for and provide the leadership to this volunteer group,
but they can not possibly be expected to perform all of the
volunteer needs World Cup '94 will require.
(d) Broadened Appeal. One of the lasting legacies of
the 1994 World Cup in the United States will be, hopefully, a
substantial broadening of the interest base in soccer. Every
effort must be made to enthuse all sectors of each venue
community about the sport even if they lack historic soccer
interest or awareness. Appeals for participation in the 1994
World Cup, whether as full time or operational phase staff,
volunteers or spectators, must be made to racial and ethnic
groups and communities in our country which may not have had any
large scale involvement in the sport in the past. Other sport
governing bodies, such as the United States Tennis Association,
have developed target programs to persuade young inner city
athletes to pursue that sport. It is difficult to imagine when,
it not in advance of the World Cup, that it would make more
sense for the United States Soccer Federation and World Cup '94
to develop a similar emphasis. Even if the next generation's
Michael Jordan does not pursue soccer, such a broadened appeal
can only help ensure a lasting positive legacy of the 1994 World
Cup in the United States. It goes without saying that World
Cup '94 must be representative of all racial and ethnic groups
in our society and non-discriminatory in its hiring practices.
(e) World Consciousness. Our nation is becoming
increasingly interdependent on a global economy. The World Cup
represents one of the few occasions when virtually all members
of the world community are able to unite in a positive way.
World Cup '94 needs to be aware that, through the medium of
television and the written press, many eyes will be watching and
opinions about the United States formed based on the manner in
which we discharge our entrusted responsibility with the world's
sport. Ugly Americanism simply can not be allowed to surface in
the World Cup '94 organization. Every effort must be made to
attract individuals who either speak another language or have
spent a significant portion of time living in another country.
Encouragement should be made to all staff members to develop
proficiency in another language during their tenure. Protocol
standards within the organization need to be developed to ensure
sensitivity to different ways the rest of the world would
approach the project on which we are about to embark. Customs
of all 23 visiting nations must be learned at all staff and
2169S:021789
-22-
volunteer levels and our guests must be made to feel that we
genuinely welcome them.
(f) Fitness. World Cup '94 is, after all, a sports
organization. The organization itself should serve as a
positive statement to the value of sports and fitness as a way
of life. Unfortunately, all too often it is the case that those
involved in sports administration forget fundamental principles
of fitness in later life. Fitness opportunities and, to the
extent feasible, facilities should be made available to
employees of World Cup '94 and a healthy, smoke-free environment
created for all World Cup '94 work related activities.
Promoting a fit and healthy life style for World Cup '94
employees has obvious economic advantages as well in the form of
reduced sick time and, possibly, reduced health care insurance
premiums. Whether manufacturers of hard liquor, cigarettes and
other tobacco products should be permitted to become World Cup
'94 marketing partners must be seriously evaluated, particularly
given the number of young people attracted to our sport. Beer
manufacturers should be encouraged to emphasize responsible use
and moderation as part of their 1994 World Cup identification.
(Some sports organizations have recently gone much further--the
NCAA, for erample, has announced that it will no longer permit
beer advertising during televised coverage of the NCAA
basketball tournsment). world Cup '94 should also support
anti-drug campaigns to the extent feasible.
(g) Organization and Order. With the visibility the
organization will have to the outside world, all world Cup '94
employees must be expected to present a dignified and
professional appearance. Men should wear ties while in the
office and neither men nor women should wear blue jeans or other
inappropriate office attire. The move to a fully computerized
office environment also contemplates progress in achieving a
"paperless" office. While this will never be completely
attainable, it can be expected that the appearance of the World
Cup '94 headquarters and other World Cup '94 locations will give
the impression of orderliness and organization. In this regard,
the orderliness, organization and Swiss efficiency of FIFA House
should be a model to which World Cup '94 aspires.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
Dear Dr. Havelange:
The United States of America would welcome the opportunity
to serve as the host country for the 1994 World Cup soccer
tournament. First-class stadium, hotel, transportation,
communications, and other necessary physical facilities
already exist within the United States to stage the
tournament in a manner befitting its rich history and
tradition.
Our country has had considerable experience in hosting
successful major international sporting events, with the
1984 Olympic Games and the Pan American Games being only
the most recent examples. We were particularly delighted
to witness the tremendous spectator response to the soccer
competition during the 1984 Olympic Games. With the
remarkable increase in both the number of soccer partici-
pants in the United States and Americans' interest in this
worldwide sport, we expect that the 1994 World Cup would
be exceptionally well received here.
I am aware that the Federation Internationale de Football
Association has requested certain governmental guarantees
with respect to the 1994 World Cup. Certain of the
guarantees sought, such as those relating to State and local
taxes, fall within the domain of State and local governments
under our political system, and certain others (such as those
relating to transportation and hotels) are in the province of
our private sector. At the Federal level, we will be pleased
to give you written assurances in the areas of visas, work
permits, and customs, which will be provided by the applicable
Federal government agencies. Letters setting forth the
specifics of these guarantees will accompany the bid being
made by the United States Soccer Federation.
2
The United States not only provided similar guarantees to
the International Olympic Committee for the 1984 Olympic
Games, but also offered a spirit of volunteerism, enthusiasm,
and private sector support we believe to be unsurpassed.
That same spirit is extended to FIFA for the 1994 World
Cup, along with a pledge of my full support.
Sincerely,
Ronald Reagon

Attention: The General Secretary
Dear Sir:
I am writing you in my capacity as the coordinator of State
Department activities in connection with international sports
events. I understand that World Cup USA 1994, Inc. ("World Cup
USA"), a subsidiary of the United States Soccer Federation, is
preparing a bid to the Federation Internationale de Football
Association ("FIFA") to serve as the host country for the 1994
World Cup soccer tournament. In that connection, the
Association requires World Cup USA to provide certain
assurances from the United States. Certain of these fall, in
whole or in part, within the competence of the Department of
State.
Accordingly, I can confirm to you that:
(1) No accredited member of the FIFA or participating
country delegations, their immediate families or accredited
media representatives, will be denied visas because of
nationality, race or creed.
(2) The laws of the United States do not prohibit any
national anthem of any country participating in the 1994 World
Cup from being played or the flag of any such country from
being raised.
(3) We will cooperate and work closely with FIFA, World Cup
USA and other federal, state and local governmental agencies to
develop special guidelines for the overall security and
personal protection of all players, officials, media
representatives and spectators at all times during the 1994
World Cup if held in the United States.

As in the case of other major international sporting
events, such as the 1984 Olympic Games, the Department looks
forward to cooperating fully in ensuring the success of the
1994 World Cup Games held in the United States.

certain guarantees from the United States necessary to permit
the competition to take place in an expeditious manner. Certain
of these guarantees fall within our competence. Accordingly,
as requested by the President of the United States, we confirm
to you the following:
The laws and regulations of the United States of
America, as administered by the Department of
Treasury, would permit, or do not prohibit, (i)
all foreign exchange to be freely imported and
exported to and from the United States, (ii) the
exchange and reconversion of such foreign exchange
into hard currency of United States dollars or
Swiss francs, (iii) such reconversions to be made
at internationally prevailing conditions on the
foreign exchange market and (iv) enable all
payments to be transferred abroad at the official
rate.
However, the Department of the Treasury administers
certain licensing requirements applicable to
transactions between persons subject to the
jurisdiction of the United States and nationals of
certain designated countries. Such transactions
for which a Treasury license is required may include
transactions incident to travel to, from, or within
the United States. It generally has been the
practice of the Department of the Treasury, under
the advice of the Department of State, to issue
the necessary licenses for nationals of designated
countries for purposes of participation in interna-
tional athletic events hosted by the United States.

Gentlemen:
In the first session of the 100th Congress, the United States Senate
and the United States House of Representatives jointly adopted
Senate Joint Resolution 175 which recognized the efforts of the
United States Soccer Federation to bring the 1994 World Cup to the
United States, acknowledged the popularity of the game, referenced
the ability of the United States to meet all of the requirements as
a host country and, finally, authorized and requested the President
of the United States to designate the Secretary of Commerce as the
official representative of the United States Government in any
discussions with the Federation Internationale de Football
Association (FIFA). On August 20, 1987, the President designated me
to work with the United States Soccer Federation and Federal
agencies to meet FIFA requirements. As Acting Secretary of
Commerce, I am delighted to accept such a designation and assure
FIFA that the full support of the United States government and the
energies and enthusiasm of its people will work to make the 1994
World Cup a successful and memorable event.
I am cognizant of the various governmental guarantees which FIFA has
required from the United States as a condition to be designated as
the host country. As the designated official representative of the
United States Government and its various agencies, I pledge the full
support of this office to ensure that the requirements of FIFA in
connection with this event are satisfied. We believe that the 1994
World Cup will serve as a tremendous impetus to national and
international tourism and will further establish the sport of soccer
as a major spectator attraction within the United States. The
United States would be delighted to be designated as the host
country and will direct its resources to make the 1994 World Cup a
success worthy of its many predecessors in other countries.

To recognize the efforts of the United States Soccer Federation

Whereas soccer is one of the world's most popular sports and

Whereas the United States Soccer Federation is seeking to
bring the World Cup games to the United States in 1994;

quirements of a host country including financing, transporta-
tion, security, communications, and physical accomodations;

Dear Henry and Drew,
Our meeting with Senator Baker on Monday, August 10th, allowed us the
opportunity to specify those areas that require the assistance of the
White House. I have attached a letter from Rey Post to Fred Ryan, of
the White House, which details those areas. In addition, I have enclosed
my letter to Senator Baker requesting a meeting for Dr. Havelange with
President Reagan on either September 23rd or 24th.
Drew, it is on this matter that I would like your assistance.
Your influence to assure this meeting in September would benefit us
in several ways. First, the simple gesture of a Reagan/Havelange meeting
would greatly enhance our bid efforts.
Second, if during such a meeting President Reagan signed into law the
resolution now passed by both Houses of Congress recognizing the World
Cup bid effort, added meaning would be given to the occasion.
Finally, we could schedule a reception the evening of Dr. Havelange's
visit to Washington which would provide us with a possible fundraising
opportunity.
Either Rey Post, who is conducting our White House communications, or
I will be in touch with you after you have received this letter to get
your thoughts on this matter.
My thanks to both of you for your advice and assistance.
Sincerely,

Dear Fred:
Thank you for expressing your willingness to work with us in
expediting receipt of the letters from the various governmental
agencies necessary for our 1994 World Cup bid. The meeting
yesterday with Senator Baker and your colleagues was very useful,
and we look forward to working with you to meet our August 24
deadline for return of the letters.
The enclosed letters are in draft form and correspond to the
specific guarantees needed to meet the Federation Internationale
de Football Association (FIFA) Terms of Reference requirements.
We would appreciate your providing us with the name of each
agency representative to whom you forward these letters. We will
send to them by August 14 the authority and precedent information
as you suggested.
It is our hope that Senator Baker's cover letter can accompany
any communication you have with each agency, but if not, we would
hope that the draft letter can be sent with reference to the
Senator's support of our efforts.
We also left a draft letter from President Reagan with you
yesterday. The final version of this letter would be a key part
of the bid package we will present to FIFA by the September 30,
1987 bid deadline. The language of the letter reinforces
important issues that bear upon the FIFA Terms of Reference
requirements. We would like to have a draft of the letter,
reviewed and approved for the President's signature, to take with
us to a meeting we are holding with FIFA on August 31, 1987 in
Zurich. We appreciate your efforts to help us to accomplish this.

MEMORANDUM FOR ROGER B. PORTER
FROM:
KATE L. MOORE
KNO
SUBJECT:
Governors' Conference Format
Here is a proposed format for the Governors' Conference on
education that Lanny Griffith and I developed.
Objectives
The conference would have the following objectives:
1)
Provide the White House the opportunity to learn from the
governors, especially (a) in areas where we have placed
emphasis: rewarding success, helping those most in need,
fostering choice and flexibility, and providing for
accountability; and (b) on the subject of national goals for
students.
2)
Demonstrate the President's interest in and commitment to
reform in education to achieve educational excellence.
Format
Four working groups of governors would be designated, matching
our four principles of excellence, targeting choice and
accountability. Panels on these issues would be presented, and
reporting sessions for the President would summarize the findings
from the governors' exchange. The question of "goals for the
nation" would be discussed by each group, weaving it into its
respective topic. All participating governors would serve in one
of the four working groups.
The conference would have five key components, with the
President participating in three of the five.
1. Afternoon of day one: Each of the four working groups
of governors meets informally here at the White House
some with this this problem
Rosm has
to discuss its assigned issue and prepare for the next
day's panel. The President drops by each of the four
sessions for about 15 minutes each to state his mission
for the conference and define the work of each group.
This gives each governor a chance to say a few words to
the President in a relatively intimate setting.
-2-
2. Evening of day one: President hosts a "state dinner"
for governors. His remarks (brief) are focused on
welcoming the group and stressing the importance of
this meeting.
3. Morning of day two: All governors' meet (in the East
Room) to hear presentations from the four working
groups. These groups (of about 14 each) are chaired by
a Republican and Democratic governor. "Case studies"
are presented and all governors have the chance to pose
questions and share knowledge. Woven into each of
these presentations are ideas about goals for the
nation in education.
4. Lunch. Governors dine in White House and are joined by
the President who makes remarks stressing his four
principles and his interest in hearing their views on
goals for the nation.
5. Afternoon of day two: All governors meet together to
"report out" the morning's discussion to the President.
This discussion includes success stories relating to
the four principles and proposals for goals for the
nation. This session would last no more than one and
one half hours.
"Special observers" representing various group are invited to
listen in during the sessions in the White House. These groups
would include the university presidents, business
representatives, Congressional representatives and educators.
Under separate cover, Lanny Griffith is providing suggestions for
co-chairs of the working groups.
We recommend that this event be scheduled May 16 and 17 (when the
executive committee of the National Governors' Association is in
town). This allows us time to prepare, but is still early in the
Administration.

potential impact by going their separate ways. Health, education, social, family and
welfare issues are inextricably intertwined in a child's life but rarely come together
when policies which affect children are formulated.
The Child Advocate General would be responsible for leading a sustained, vigorous,
comprehensive national effort to harness what we presently know about children's needs
and their development together with our historically compassionate instincts. This
children's champion must form coalitions and compacts on behalf of children and youth to
mount an offensive which would earn us a place in history as the nation which not only
recognized -- but acted upon this recognition that we as adults, have an obligation
to care for our young and to optimize their best futures by coming to grips with their
present needs.
Children are too often described as "our future" which seems to let us off the hook
about reckoning with present conditions which stunt these futures. How we respond to
these present needs affects our collective future.
As a nation bereft of a sense of shared social responsibility for our children and
devoid of any cohesive social policy for them, we need to designate a national children's
champion who will relentlessly, passionately and compassionately serve on their behalf.
By designating a chief advocate for children, there is no attempt to diminish the
family's needed role and responsibility as the child's primary advocate. But rather, it
realistically acknowledges the fact that families may need help to improve and optimize
their advocacy abilities.
Business leaders have contributed to our understanding that addressing these often
desperate unmet needs must be viewed as an investment. They warn us of the negative
consequences of failing to meet them upon our work force and our ability to remain
internationally competitive. But if instead, our competitive goal was to be known as
the society which did the most for our children and youth, our ability to be competitive
in the global arena would, as a matter of course, be a by-product. Thus we would
successfully unite the economic, moral/human and political imperatives.
We have a unique opportunity to turn the tide for children in our country, to seize
this momentum for a kinder and gentler nation, and to direct our extraordinary capacities
toward improving our children's chances of becoming the sum of their infinite possibilities.
We have an opportunity to demonstrate that advocacy for children should be an unwavering
attitude and not an event. The dire consequences of failure to provide an ombudsman and
advocate for our children will be ultimate, if not immediate.
A resurgence of our kinder and gentler instincts on behalf of children is not senti-
mental or soft-hearted. It is compassionate and prudent. The Child Advocate General
can place children's issues in their rightful spot on our national agenda. This nation
can do no less.

MEMORANDUM FOR ANDY CARD
THRU:
MEETING WITH GOVERNOR Rey CLEMENTS
DEBRA ANDERSON Wels
FROM:
LANNY GRIFFITH
SUBJECT:
It has come to my attention today that the Governor of Texas,
Bill Clements, will be requesting a meeting with the President
while he is town on April 19th and 20th. He would like to
discuss the Supercollider and other business of interest to
Texans.
I realize you are trying to discourage these one-on-one meetings
with the President except under unique circumstances. This may
be one of them.
Governor Clements initially requested a meeting last month but
was told that the President would be in Japan at the time and a
meeting was impossible. However, they were told by me that we
would work something out the next time he was here. My feeling
then was that I was stating correctly your view of the situation.
First, I would like to encourage that we allow this meeting.
This is a second request and he is the President's homestate
governor.
Secondly, if this is simply not going to happen, then I would
suggest we make that decision immediately so that we can avoid
embarrassment to the Governor. Last time he made this request
there was a story in the Dallas Morning News to the affect that
his request was turned down due to the President's travel
schedule. I am sure this trip to Washington will renew that
story and could cause Governor Clements problems at home.
Although the invitation is not yet here, I would appreciate your
taking a good look at this as soon as possible so we can make
plans accordingly.

Dear John:
I am writing to you regarding a very important request on
behalf of the Republican Party in Delaware. Let me explain:
The chief fundraising organization and source of funds
for the Party here in Delaware is the Governor's Club. This
is a group of $1,000 contributors which currently has around
300 members. It is the lifeblood of our Party, allowing us to
maintain a staffed headquarters operation, conduct
voter-registration drives, implement Party building efforts,
and recruit candidates. I personally spend a great deal of
time fostering the strength of this organization for obvious
reasons.
Each year we put together a special day of high-level
briefings in Washington, D.C. for our members. Typically,
this event has been held in a conference room of the Old
Executive Office Building and features two or three Cabinet
Secretaries. Over the past few years, we have also been quite
fortunate to have then Vice President Bush in attendance. I
would like to request your assistance for this year's event.
We would like to hold the briefings from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00
noon on any Monday in the month of April, with the exception
of April 10. If it could be arranged, we would be honored to
have President Bush make a brief appearance. Additionally,
your suggestions for two or three Cabinet officials who might
be willing to join us would be most appreciated.

impact of this raise on the entire Federal budget is much larger than this
one bill and the bottom of the pyramid is 14-16 times larger than the top of
the pyramid. However, I am troubled by the question, "how do we attract
the best and the brightest to use the skills they have developed in the private
sector for the benefit of the public good and in public service?" It has
seemed a desirable objective to have executives from the private sector donate
a limited number of years to public service in an effort to improve the
government. One impediment, particularly for those at the very top, is the
significant pay cuts they must suffer to take a tour of duty in Washington.
In that regard, I have a thought.
Why don't we create a public trust fund to subsidize the compensation levels
of key executives who agree to a tour of duty in public service? We do have a
fund to provide assistance for our top Presidential-elects. It's called the
Presidential-Elect Campaign Fund. Perhaps we could create a fe derally-based
subsidy fund, have a trustee to administer this activity and use it to
attract the nation's best managers to make our government more effective.
I know that in speaking with many of those who have served in the past, they
have a high degree of frustration in managing within the Federal bureaucra
Perhaps if we could attract more managers who have private industry experience,
they, collectively, could have a greater impact, and thus, the overall level of
frustration that they have experienced could be reduced or perhaps minimized.
Additionally, it has seemed to me during my lifetime, the process of government has
fostered the concept that American's should take fewer and fewer risks. Back to
one of my earlier letters to you, in the global economy in the next century, we
must take prudent risks in order to effectively compete throughout the world.

Attracting more private sector managers who have a greater tolerance for
risk than most public sector managers seems to me a wise and prudent step in the
management of our nation's future.
Again, thanks for listening.

Governor Hunt
By now you should have received the attached request from
Governor Hunt for a meeting with the President on March 20.
I would very much like to see this done. Governor Hunt did a
great deal for us in Alabama, and he is now giving us good support
there where he enjoys tremendous popularity. He is also up for
reelection in 1990.
Governor Hunt's letter explains the subject matter. I would
guess that the meeting could be scheduled for fifteen minutes.
If you have any questions concerning this request which I could
answer, please give me a call.

SUBJECT:
Governor Martinez in El Salvador
I am very interested in having Governor Martinez of Florida
included in the group going to El Salvador on March 17 to observe
the elections there. The Governor is a good friend of the
President, and his support of democracy in Central America is
very important to many of his South Florida constituents.
I have spoken to Matt Smith at the State Department and Dan
Nichols in our Personnel office. They are supportive of this
idea, and I expect Governor Martinez to be on their list of
recommended observers coming to you. I just want to let you know
that my interest in having Governor Martinez involved is more
than perfunctory.
If you feel a need or interest in having another Governor for
balance, I would be glad to make that arrangement. On the other
hand, I could give you a short list of prospects if that would be
preferable. Just let me know if I can be of help.
