WASHINGTON, D.C. 20590
November 16, 1989
Dear Mrs. Kennedy:
I want to express my personal appreciation to you for your kind
invitation to join you for dinner honoring Fang Lizhi.
As you may be aware, I know Chris and Sheila very well from the
time I spent in Chicago and think highly of both of them. More
importantly, as Senator Kennedy may have indicated to you, I
joined the Department of Justice in Chicago shortly after your late
husband served as Attorney General. As soon as I arrived at the
United States Attorney's Office, I became aware of the exemplary
job that your late husband did in completing the many missions he
took on as Attorney General. When I was serving as United States
Attorney, I used some of his programs to recognize and motivate
young men and women serving in that office, and I continue to use
those programs as Secretary of Transportation. He was a
considerate, aggressive and thoughtful Attorney General and will,
as I recently told the Senate Judiciary Committee, also go down in
history as one of the truly outstanding Attorneys General that this
country has ever had.
It was therefore with deep personal regret that I was unable to
join you at your home for dinner. I do look forward to meeting
with you in the near future.
It might also interest you to know that your late husband's close
friend, Burke Marshall, was responsible for facilitating my
appointment as an Assistant United States Attorney in Chicago.
Without his assistance, I probably would not have been able to
enter public service. This opportunity that was afforded to me by
the Department with the assistance of Burke Marshall is a key event
in my career that has eventually allowed me to serve as President
Bush's Secretary of Transportation.
So, in a way, your husband and his associates are responsible for
my appointment, and I trust I will not disappoint.

Dear Mr. Secretary:
What a nice visit you gave to Leo Burnett and
what a good day for the Ad Council! It is just
the demonstration of appreciation for donated
services that will certainly result in even higher
levels of enthusiasm and commitment to the
DOT/NHTSA campaign.
I think you could see how lucky we are to have
Leo Burnett on board. This Ad Council team has
any number of talented professionals hard at work
figuring out how to increase safety belt usage.
I've summarized the meeting and the questions
raised so that we can work with NHTSA on the
follow through.
Thanks for your full attention, contributions
and thoughtfulness.
Besides, it was just a treat to see you again.
Cordially,
The Honorable Samuel K. Skinner

Dear Secretary Skinner:
Just a note to express my sincere gratitude and appre-
ciation for taking the time to join us for our "FLYING
Into the Future" NBAA press conference.
I am aware your day in Atlanta was packed and your boss
was expecting you for dinner in Washington, so the time
you spent with us was special, and I won't forget that.
You went out of your way and the press responded by
filling the room and covering your comments.
It was a pleasure meeting you and though it was only
handshakes and greetings, it seemed like I had met an
old friend whom I hadn't seen in many years. It must
be your good PR manner or your Midwest charm and per-
sonality. I would like to believe it is the latter
since we are also midwesterners from Winnetka and
Milwaukee, the land of very friendly folks.
Certainly would enjoy having the opportunity to spend
more time with you. Maybe sometime when you and Banner
plan to scare a caddy or two, I could join you and
really demonstrate the game of golf at its worst.
In the meantime, please accept the enclosed as a small
token of our appreciation and gratitude. I look forward
to meeting you again in the near future.
My very best regards,

Dear Sam:
Lake Forest Elementary School District 67 and North Chicago School
District 64 last week jointly filed an application for the Jacob Javits Gifted
Grant and Talented Act for 1989-90 (Grant #84.206). A copy of the Executive
Summary and Narrative are enclosed. I'm writing to ask for your support and
assistance in securing funding for our "Joint Venture" which is unique
nationally in meeting the needs of underserved gifted and talented students in
our districts.
Sam, the proposal we presented is distinct in that our two districts,
with diverse socio-economic and fiscal makeups, share similar basic
educational needs. We are proposing to join forces to demonstrate a model
approach to educating disadvantaged gifted and talented students. We believe
this model is an unique approach to solving major educational problems. If
funded, it would be shared with other districts throughout the United States.
Our goal is to reach out to all districts (suburban, city and inner city) to assist
them in developing improved methods of identifying gifted
and talented
students who may be economically disadvantaged, language
impaired
or
handicapped.
I'm sure you are aware that Lake Forest (a fiscally "healthy"
district with a proven record of academic excellence) has the capacity to assist
North Chicago (an excellent but fiscally depressed district) by providing
academic, professional and managerial resources and experience in
developing and implementing programs of academic excellence. Our shared
activities would include project planning and evaluation, teacher training,
summer academies, competitive academic events and extracurricular academic
and cultural enrichment activities. The modern, well equipped facilities and
managerial administrative oversite to this proposed project would be provided
by Lake Forest School District 67. Over half of the funding requested for new
teaching staff would be allocated to North Chicago School District 64.
I'm sure you're very familiar with the approaches we should use.
Already we are working on Senators Dixon and Simon via North Chicago
contacts. John Porter has indicated his strong support and I know your
support with either Dr. Lauro Cavazos, U. S. Secretary of Education to secure his
backing or an approach through Presidential channels would be very helpful
The Honorable Samuel K. Skinner
August 7, 1989

and greatly appreciated. We'll follow any suggestions you have, including a
trip to Washington to meet with you, Dr Cavazos or whomever would be
helpful.
Sam, your assistance in helping to get this proposal funded would
be greatly appreciated. It would serve as a model for the U. S. Office of
Education and could be duplicated throughout the country to improve the
nationwide capability to identify and meet the special educational needs of
gifted, talented and creative students.
Sincerely,
al

Dear Joe:
Congratulations on becoming an Eagle Scout -- the highest rank
in the Boy Scouts of America. Eagle Scouts are required to
master very rigid requirements in leadership skills, outdoor
activities and community service. I know first hand that this
takes a long time and a great deal of determination. I know
because I, too, was an Eagle Scout.
The training offered by the Boy Scouts enhances our traditional
American values of honor, service and achievement. Every
President of the United States since William Howard Taft has been
involved in Scouting, and one President, Gerald Ford, was an
Eagle Scout.
I commend you on your fine achievement.

Secretary of the Department of Transportation
Washington, D.C.
Dear Secretary Skinner:
For many years, I have been writing letters to our public officials, clergy and
civic leaders for congratulatory letters to the boys from our Troop who have
attained the rank of Eagle Scout.
This letter gives me great personal pleasure since it is on behalf of my son Joseph,
Kagann who has reached the rank of Eagle Scout. Joe will be installed into
his rank at a Court of Honor on Sunday October 22nd, 1989 at the Saint
Scholastica Parish Hall, 7720 S. Janes Avenue, Woodridge, Illinois at 2:30 in
the afternoon.
Joe started his scouting career in 1980 when he joined Pack 512 as a cub scout.
He crossed over to scouting in 1982. He has served Troop 512 in the following
positions; Instructor, Assistant Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, Quartermaster,
Scribe, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Senior Patrol Leader (two terms) and
Junior Assistant Scoutmaster. Last Saturday Joe turned 18 and upon recom-
mendation of his Scoutmaster, he was appointed as Assistant Scoutmaster of
Troop 512. He is also a Brotherhood member of the Order of the Arrow. In 1986,
Joe was selected as Scout of the Year from Troop 512.
Joe graduated from Downers Grove North High School this past summer. He
will go on active duty with the United States Army Reserve on November lst.
When he comes home from active duty, he plans on attending the College of
DuPage. Joe is a Hereditary Perpetual member of the Military Order of the
World Wars (M.O.W.W.).
As a public official, civic or religious leader you are aware of the dedication
and hard work that is required to reach the coveted rank of Eagle Scout. Many
of our nation's most successful citizens have been Eagle Scouts. I believe that
part of their success has to do with the goals that they set to reach the rank
of Eagle Scout.
I would like to solicit a congratulatory letter to Joe which we will include in
his official honor book to be presented to him at the ceremony. Please address
your letter to Joe and send it to the above address. I would like to thank you
in advance for your recognition of Joe on reaching the rank of Eagle Scout.

Dear Mr. Dunham:
Sorry to be so late in responding to your kind invitation to Mr.
Kelleher of May 3rd, but, quite frankly, I was holding it out to see if
Herb might be able to attend as I know that he would very much appreciate
the opportunity to join you and Secretary Skinner for the luncheon on May
18th. Unfortunately, however, as you may have heard, Herb recently
underwent surgery (please see self-explanatory memos enclosed), and while
he is feeling much better, he is only able to work half-days this week,
and due to the many postponed meetings due to his absence from the
office, I am afraid that I have just not been able to rearrange his
schedule so that he can make your Thursday luncheon. I know that he will
very much appreciate the invitation when he sees it upon his return to
the office, and I hope you will give him a raincheck.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
All Employees
FROM: Colleen Barrett
RE:
Herb
As some of you may have already heard, Herb has the nerve problem
("glosso phyrangeal neuritis") back that he suffered with during the
winter of 1986.
As those of you who were here at that time will remember,
although Herb experiences severe pain in his neck and face (like a
toothache except 1,000 times more severe) with this condition (the pain
is brought on by movement of the head, talking, opening his mouth,
swallowing, etc.), this condition is not a life threatening one.
Nevertheless, since he has had very little relief from the only
medication which the experts have been able to come up with for this
condition, and since he obviously cannot conduct business without being
able to talk (you all know how Herb LUVs to talk!), it has been
determined that he should have surgery (the doctors will clip the
affected nerve) as soon as possible.
He is going to the Mayo Clinic this afternoon; will have a series
of required tests on Thursday, and, If the tests don't show anything
unexpected, the surgery will be performed by "the" expert surgeon in this
field on Friday.
The doctors assure us that this is a simple procedure; they
expect the hospital stay to be a short one (hopefully a week to ten
days). While they haven't said anything about recuperation time at this
point, I suspect it will be two/three weeks.
E
All Employees
Page Two
April 19, 1989
It will more than likely be Monday before we put any more
information out, but I know that you all will remember Herb and his
family in your prayers this week, and as soon as we have any further
word, we will certainly let you know.
Since the Mayo Clinic apparently uses several different
&
hospitals, I cannot give you the name or address of a hospital at this
point. I suspect that Herb will go to San Antonio when he is released
from the hospital. Since so many of these questions are unanswered at
this point, I would suggest that those of you who want to send
cards/notes to Herb, send them to the office, and we will get them
delivered to Herb on a daily basis.
Do let him hear from you--I know that this would lift his spirits
tremendously--as you know, he is always saying that you are his strength
and his pride and the "wind beneath his wings."
Rest assured, gang, Herb exemplifies that wonderful SOUTHWEST
WINNING SPIRIT, and I can assure you that he will be back to his normal
hearty self very shortly--he still has many, many dreams for our
evergrowing and fun-filled family which he wants to help assure come true!

RE:
Herb
The attached memo to all employees is self-explanatory. For
those of you who want to send flowers/personal cards/whatever, if you
send something to arrive at the hospital by Wednesday, send it to:
Mr. Herbert D. Kelleher
St. Mary's Hospital

Rochester, Minnesota 55903
If you send it next week, send it to:

144 Thelma Drive
San Antonio, Texas 78212
I suspect that Herb will try to spend the following week at his Townhouse
in Dallas, reading and writing, if he is able to do so (at the moment, he
cannot wear his glasses because of the numerous "staples" behind his ear
and at the bottom of his skull).
He is doing just fine and, although extremely weak, his spirits
are very good. I am back in the office if you need me.

RE:
Herb
THE SURGERY WAS A SUCCESS!!!
While Herb is very weak and not exactly a "happy camper" at the
moment, he is doing even better than the doctors thought he would be at
this point, three days after major surgery. Hopefully, he will be
released at the end of the week and he will have approximately a
two/three week "recup time"--we are currently planning on having him back
on a fulltime basis around May 16th/17th.
The surgery was 100% successful. He is able to eat, talk,
swallow, and even laugh-with no pain from the nerve. The doctors are
quite comfortable that his problem is completely gone and will not
revisit him.
I returned to Dallas from Rochester, Minnesota late last evening
and was pleased to find numerous cards in the office this morning, all of
which will be forwarded to Herb on a daily basis. Keep 'em coming as I
know he will enjoy receiving them and knowing that he is, indeed, LUVed!
Thanks so much for your thoughts, prayers. cards, and concern.

DuPage County, the most Republican County in Illinois,
invites you to participate in the observance of our 150th
anniversary.
Our celebration began on February 9, 1989 with a convocation
marking the actual date of the creation of the County. They
will conclude on October 9, 1989 with a dinner to salute 150
DuPage residents who have helped shape our county, state,
nation and the world.
Of the 150 persons, 44 are living. Three are men who have
shaped the housing patterns of DuPage County since World
War II. Two of them carved new towns from the cornfields of
central DuPage County in the late 1950's. Since 1946, the
third man has developed thousands of new homes in
Naperville, the county's oldest community and its first
county seat.
The list of invited guests to the dinner will include
members of the fifth and sixth generations of our county's
pioneer families as well as newcomers who have been
attracted to our county by its high technology research and
development businesses.

Dear Secretary Skinner,
I Just wanted to take a minute and extend my sincerest
thanks to you for the time and effort you gave to the Clark
Bridge Project, the funding and the dedication. It meant a lot
to have a friend such as yourself at the ceremony.
As I stated to you last Friday, if I can ever be of assis-
tance to President Bush or to yourself, please don't hesitate
to call upon me. I am fiercely proud of what we were able to
accomplish in the 1988 election and I want to continue to be
part of the "team" for 1992.
Best regards,

Dear Ms. Lunkenheimer:
I am delighted to recommend Ambler FitzSimons for admission to the
Northwestern University.
Ambler is a senior at Lake Forest Academy where she has taken
honors and advanced placement classes. She has a fine record and
has been selected as a class officer and as a prefect, which is the
highest honor the school can bestow. She has been involved in
varsity sports and various musical organizations. I have known
Ambler for 15 years and have observed her from a very close
personal basis. She is a very thoughtful, intelligent, ambitious
young woman who I believe is an excellent candidate for admission
for the fall class.
I recommend her to you without hesitation and ask that you give her
every consideration.
Sincerely,
Skeme

for your aliquot share.
I appreciate your willingness to write a letter in support
of Ambler's application to Northwestern. I enclose a sheet
listing some of her accomplishments along with the address of
Northwestern's admissions office. All in all she is a pretty
outstanding girl. Any help you can give her will be greatly
appreciated.

Dear Secretary Skinner:
Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to provide
the keynote address at our national symposium on disaster
response planning. We could not have had a better keynote
speaker. Your remarks on the Alaskan and Hugo disasters and
your guidelines on how to better prepare this nation for future
events were outstanding. You set the stage and the standard for
the other presenters and for the discussions that proved valuable
and stimulating.
The symposium was a complete success. Our goal was to
heighten membership interest in planning and implementing the
responses to disasters. From the discussions and comments we
did that.
Would you please pass on my thanks and appreciation to the
members of your staff for their great help in making sure it
happened? Sara Eghtedari, Wynola Robison, and the Grubbes, Fred
and Patrick are all courteous professionals.
On behalf of the Society, thank you again for your

GREAT LETRE,

400 Seventh Street, S.W.
Room 10200
Washington, D.C. 20590
Dear Mr. Secretary:
I have just worked through the series of coincidences that led you to call me,
and award my company, Day & Zimmermann, Inc., a modest contract to participate
in a study about which we know little, and proposed nothing. It is a mystery
daunting enough for Sam Spade, let alone Sam Skinner.
Let's sort it out:
Originally you were looking for Jim LaSala of New Jersey (no kin).
What you found was Joseph A. LaSala, Jr., Esq., former chief council
at UMTA; a kin.
What that led to was a call to his father, Joseph A. LaSala, Sr., vice
president, government affairs at Day & Zimmermann, Inc.
The call, from you to me, was a consequence of understandable misdirection.
You got Joe instead of Jim, and in the process of that call, we also ran
into some strange coincidences, that I'm sure, confused both of us. For
instance: I spoke of you to Ed Hamberger, Esq., of Baker, Worthington,
Crossley, Stansberry & Woolf; the Company's Washington, D.C., legal
council. Ed had recently invited you to play golf at the Merion Crickett
Club. Spike Yoh, chairman and CEO of Day & Zimmermann, Inc., is a member
of that club, and would be pleased to host you, too. That invitation,
of course, stands.
Next, I also spoke to you about Cameron Findley, Esq.. soon to join your staff.
I attended Cam's wedding two summers ago. His father-in-law, former federal
judge, Ralph F. Scalera, is an old and dear friend of mine.

I sensed that when I mentioned Cameron, you thought that whole discussion was
getting bizzare, with little or nothing to do with the original intent of the
call.
This experience becomes another humorous vignette to add to the many in my
business and government experience. People like us, who have lived with a
broad circle of friends and acquaintences throughout business and government,
frequently get tangled in mix ups and crossed connections that almost make
sense. Fortunately, there is usually no harm done.
Sensible or not, I did enjoy our chat. I am hopeful that you'll have the
opportunity to call Joe instead of Jim sometime with the same intended purpose.
D&Z has enjoyed many years of service to the Department of Transportation in a
variety of capacities and rarely turns down an order.
By the way, I'd like to offer congratulations. You've had a difficult job and
appear to be doing quite well. Here's wishing you continued success.
Sincerely,
Janatha Vice President

Dear Ken:
Thanks for your kind letter and for the invitation to
join you and Jack at the DuPage County picnic on
July 22. As my staff has already informed you, I will be
spending that entire weekend at an executive retreat with
my senior staff. I hope you know how sorry I am to miss
all the fun in Illinois.
Rest assured, if I find any "billions" lying around,
DuPage County will be among the first to know it!
Please give Jack my best regards.
With all best wishes,
Sincerely,

We also have heard disconcerting

about the potential effects of global
warming. It is undisputed that the
amount of carbon dioxide, the princi-
pal greenhouse gas, has been steadily
building since the industrial revolution
and, unless there is something to

more than 57 tons of CO2 during its
lifetime. A car that gets 26.5 miles per
gallon, the standard for the 1989 fleet,
will emit 20 tons less. And the 1990
model, based on the Secretary's deci-
sion, will emit even fewer tons of CO2.
