Congratulations on your outstanding success. It's certainly comporting to have an engineer in a key national policy position. After receiving my S.B. and S.M. degrees from MIT, I worked five years in industry and then began a faculty career at Cali- fornia State University, Northridge. I completed my Ph. D. at UCLA some years ago and spent a major share of my professional career working to increase the participation of minorities in engineering. Four years ago, I became Dean of Engineering and Technology at California State University, Los Angeles. I recently saw a talk of yours at Harvard on CNN. I was pleased to note that you are concerned about the production of Ph.D.'s in engineering. I have been a member of an ASEE Engi- neering Deans Council Task Force on the Faculty Pipeline. As part of that work I wrote the attached article to encourage engi- neering undergraduates to consider academic careers. It will be published by ASEE with funds for the ARCO Foundation and widely distributed. Again, congratulations. If I can assist you in any way please call on me. Sincerely, Raymond B.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President of the United States The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: I am writing to you because of our mutual concern about the future of nuclear energy and my interest in President Bush's choice to be the next Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. As you know, we have both spent considerable time and political capital trying to secure the timely licensing and operation of the Shoreham and Seabrook nuclear power plants. In addition, we both experienced the terribly divisive and debilitating effects of NRC's byzantine licensing and regulatory process on local and regional economic health and political comity. This experience with NRC over the last several years has brought me to the conclu- sion that we have two major problems: the overwhelming susceptibility of NRC's licensing process to delay and the political timidity of the agency's leader- ship. These are two points on which I'm sure we agree. This is all brought to mind as a result of my most recent unsatisfactory experience with NRC which took place on May 11, 1989, when the Subcommittee on Energy and Power of the Committee on Energy and Commerce held a hearing on nuclear power plant standardization and licensing reform. At that hearing, the outgoing Chairman of NRC, Lando Zech, actually opposed nuclear plant standard- ization and licensing reform legislation. To my amazement and that of the other Subcommittee Republicans, Chairman Zech took the position that his recently promulgated final rule on standardization and licensing reform has solved all problems with NRC's licensing process and that utilities once more will build nuclear power plants pursuant to his rule if all other relevant factors are positive. This is nonsense, of course, and it is quite frankly, very harmful to our cause to have the NRC Chairman take this absurd position. The NRC's new rule does not go as far as it should and still preserves too much uncertainty to encourage the construction of new nuclear power plants. I have attached to this letter several pages from the transcript of the May 11 hearing on licensing reform during which Chairman Zech protested strongly against legislative action despite my direct questioning on one obvious flaw in the NRC rule its failure to resolve the emergency planning dilemma. -2- John, I bring this to your attention because I know you share my concern for the fate of Seabrook and Shoreham and for the preservation of the nuclear power option in this country. I believe that as we resolve the serious ques- tions concerning America's energy future, both with regard to reliable supply and impact on the environment, public perception of nuclear energy will change in a positive way. To take advantage of that change, however, it is imperative that the President's choice to become Chairman of the NRC be an individual with strong leadership abilities, sound judgment and the political backbone neces- sary to stand up to the NRC bureaucracy. From what I know of the Commission's current membership, I believe you should look outside the agency for such a person. I appreciate the opportunity to share my views on this subject. I would welcome the chance to discuss this with you personally. Sincerely, Norman Haman F.

LOVE 892-7469 May 11, 1989 John H. Sununu Chief of Staff Executive Office of the President 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: I am writing to express my deep concern about the direction taken by the Environmental Protection Agency with respect to the Two Forks Project here in Colorado. As the former Governor of Colorado and former Federal Cabinet Member with years of service in the Republican Party, I am disappointed in a decision that seems to run counter to the principles the Party has represented for many decades. Given Mr. Reilly's background, he may well not understand the importance of water projects here in the Western United States where we lack the natural rainfall to sustain civilization through the year. The development of what early explorers called "the Great American Desert" was made possible only when we learned to harvest the great spring runoffs from the snowy mountains and store water for use throughout the months when streamflow is reduced to a mere trickle. In Colorado, we are proud of the ingenuity and foresight shown by our forefathers in designing water systems that have allowed Colorado to become both an active urban regional center as well as an environmental and aesthetic recreational attraction. In fact, you will find that the Denver Water Department is viewed with admiration and envy by major water utilities throughout the country. Today's population and economy in Colorado's Front Range was created by the dignity and perseverance of pioneers who wrestled with national forces to help expand the borders of this country and conquer a difficult empire. The Republican Party, in my mind, has always stood for that human dignity and individual creativity. John H. Sununu May 11, 1989 Page Two I understand that President Bush has committed his Administration to concern for the environment. I support that concern as do, I believe, most Coloradoans. But I believe that concern should not be shaped by those views, so prevalent in elitist circles, that concern for the environment requires the cessation of development. Such a policy is more likely to eventually bring long term ruin to the environment rather than to protect it. In the case of Two Forks, opponents have argued that it will destroy an unique fishery and create undue environmental damage. To the contrary, it is likely that the most foreseeable alternatives, should EPA disapprove the Two Forks project, would cause greater environmental harm. I am a fisherman and I know that dams and reservoirs, by creating spawning areas, by increasing winter flows, by preventing rivers from freezing over, have produced greater fisheries than ever existed in natural conditions in the west. The much-vaunted Cheesman Canyon, that has been portrayed as the blue chip of the Two Forks inundation area, has itself been enhanced by being located just below the first major dam built to store water in the Denver area. Let me urge you not to sacrifice this area and the water supply that this future depends upon for the sake of a principle that I believe is not applicable in the case of Two Forks. I would urge you to find a way that this matter can be resolved rather than have the permit vetoed, a decision which would reflect badly upon President Bush's Administration in this region.

A telegram was recently directed to your office from Brigadier General Malcolm Hooker, President of the National Defense Transportation Association, in which our client is very active, requesting a brief conference with the President and you to discuss the maritime policy statement of the NDTA Sealift Committee. As we understand it, the meeting (if granted) preferably should occur prior to May 23, National Maritime Day. While I did not participate in the drafting of the policy statement, I have had the opportunity to review it with knowledgeable company officials and others interested in the topic. I think you will agree with me that it is a sound platform upon which our nation can begin its return to the forefront of the maritime industry and, at the same time, bolster our national defense security.

I understand there are several tills pending on fanning semi automatic guns This is not right. I believe that this country is too soft on crime Go after the criminals and give them stiffer penalties, including the death penalty. Leave law. abiding citizens alone. d ask you to Come back down to earth, and remember there are sportsmen who enjoy the use of these guns. Citizens, including myself, own seme - automatic guns for protection purposes. Banning guns will only accomplich one thing ; keeping them out of the hands of law- abiding citizens, The criminals don t care and will get them if they want then, I wish you would relay this message to President Bush.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John, I'm sorry we missed connecting on the telephone and do appreciate your returning the call. Here's the pitch: Many life scientists hope that since Professor Bromley has been named Science Advisor, a biologist/life scientist might be part of his/your team. John Patrick Jordan, whose credentials I enclose, would be an excellent choice. I believe he is considered SO by both scientists who know him (such as me) and members of the Congress, including Repre- sentatives John Myers (Indiana) and Virginia Smith (Nebraska) as well as Senators Thad Cochran (Mississippi) and Phil Gramm (Texas). Dr. Jordan's experience in biology and agriculture is ex- tensive, substantive, and credible. I have known him for many years and would not have taken your time had I not believed in his useful- ness to the country and your team. By the way, Dr. Jordan is unrelated to me or my family, we have no connections whatever except professional ones, and he has never had any Tufts connections. Keep up the good work!

Laffer May 2, 1989 The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff 1825 Connecticut Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20270 Dear John: I am enclosing a copy of a letter I sent to Mike Boskin vis-a-vis the Wanniski leak affair. I also called Marty Anderson (he ran PEPAB for Reagan) as to my superhuman ability to monopolize those meeting with the President. He laughed and said that that, indeed, would be some feat with Shultz, Friedman, Simon, Burns, Greenspan, and Riston in attendance. Ah, well! Perhaps this is how the stories about Paul Bunyon, Joan of Ark, and King Arthur all began. As a final note, juxtaposing Reagan's PEPAB meetings with the Camp David meetings. With PEPAB, the outside advisors set the agenda. The outside advisors did most of the presentations. The outside advisors summarized the discussions when the President was not in attendance. And, finally, there was a formal membership, if for no other reason than to make the outsiders feel as if they were "part of the team." I guess the thought was that they would be less likely to take pot shots and more likely to be constructive in their approach to public policy. Warmest personal regards, Arthur at B.

RE: The Department of State's honoring of Gabriel Y. Akar, Foreign Service National Employee of the Year. Dear Mr. Sununu: During the week of May 15th, the Department of State will honor Gabriel Y. Akar, Political Specialist, U.S. Embassy at Beirut, recipient of the 1989 Foreign Service National Employee of the Year Award, bestowed upon the non-American determined to be the most outstanding employee of a U.S. embassy or consulate. Mr. Akar and the other four finalists were selected for special recognition from over 10,000 non-U.S. employees because of the extraordinary contributions they have made in their many years of loyal and dedicated service to our Government. The other finalists are Danuta Antoszewska, Poland; Gladys Arocha, Colombia; Caroline Chang, Fiji and Henriette Ralalalhariosa, Madacasgar. To give you insight into what lengths they have gone in serving our country, I have enclosed copies and summaries of the nominating cables. But for the incredible talent and courage manifested by Mr. Akar, Miss Arocha could well have received the award herself; her actions were so outstanding. In addition, Miss Antoszewska made noteworthy contributions. They are scheduled to tour the White House on Tuesday, May 16th at 8am. If you would care to make their visit to the White House especially memorable, I am confident that they would be most appreciative. Sincerely, T.E.Lacky T.E. Leahy Enclsosures: as stated.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu, Thank you for your letter of April 17, 1989 regarding the President's position on Tuition Tax Credits. You state in your letter that you would be interested in making his position clear on this matter. If it would be helpful we would certainly welcome a statement from the President on this matter which could then be reproduced in our magazine, CGA WORLD, a copy of which I have enclosed. Further in this connection, Catholic Golden Age will be holding its Annual Conference at the Catholic University of America this coming August 14, 15, 1989. In conjunction with this Conference I would appreciate your assistance in arranging a briefing for our conferees on this subject and on aging issues generally. As you can see from articles in the accompanying magazine, a briefing and visit with President Reagan took place in August 1984 and our membership would welcome the opportunity at this time to meet with President Bush and to hear from members of the Administration. I will be in contact with the Office of Public Liaison but thought it would be appropriate to bring this to your attention as well. I wish to extend congratulations on your major undertaking for President Bush and every. good wish for your success. You can be assured that both the President and yourself will be included in our prayers, particularly on the Feast of the Assumption of Mary on August 15, 1989 at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Washington, D.C. (I served as Co-chairman on the Bush/Quayle Seniors Committee and likewise on the Advisory and Planning Committee for the Salute to Older Americans of which Catholic Golden Age was a Co-ordinating Agency).

Sununu White House Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor: It was a distinct pleasure to spend last Monday evening with you and Mrs. Sununu at the Fourways. The Inner Circle agenda was most satisfying, and I look forward to future meetings. As I mentioned at the restaurant, due to the size of the crowd, I was unable to meet or even see the Vice-President and Mrs. Quayle at their residence Monday afternoon. I had the feeling that the Inner Circle staff was not prepared for the number of participants that ended up coming to the spring briefing. The Bush Presidency has a special meaning for me. In 1970, my wife and I worked on President Bush's campaign for the U.S. Senate. We were college students at the time and were involved in the Nacogdoches-Lufkin area of East Texas. Since that time, we have followed his career with great interest. Needless to say, we were delighted when he entered the White House. If it is possible, Governor, I would very much like to have autographed photographs of the President and Vice-President Quayle. What ever can be done would be most appreciated. I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and Mrs. Sununu again in the days to come.

Bob served President Reagan in this capacity during his first term in office, and would very much like to serve President Bush at this level. Admired by his co-workers for his worthwhile contributions to Comsat, his return to the Board would be a benefit to all concerned. I have had the opportunity to work with Bob on several issues. I value his judgement and friendship. He has been a knowledgeable source when seeking advice in matters of communication. Bob enlisted in the Navy as a Yeoman, he was commissioned as a Lieutenant Junior Grade in the Naval Reserve and later retired as a Rear Admiral. An active member of the Republican party, Bob is a member of the Lincoln Club, Republican Associates and was a co- chairman in the state of California for the Reagan-Bush campaign.

John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: I am writing to you out of concern over reports I have received that you have decided to cancel procurement of the Navy's F-14D. For more than a decade, the F-14 "Tomcat" fighter plane has served as the work horse of our naval air defense fleet. I believe it is imperative to our national security that the Department of Defense continue to purchase new F-14s and I would like to request that the Administration continue its funding. Time and again, from the "Mayaguez" incident and "Achilles Lauro" hijack- ing to the dogfight over Libya, the "Tomcat" has proven itself to be our most effective weapon in the air. Its elimination would seriously weaken our first line of defense and hinder our ability to project American military force in trouble spots around the world. In addition, there is no viable system that could serve as its replacement in the near future. In fact, our only hope rests with the Naval Advanced Tactical Fighter (NATF), or "Tomcat 21," which is still on the drawing board. Should the "Tomcat 21" program experience diffi- culties in meeting design and production schedules, our national interest will surely suffer. The F-14 is manufactured by the Grumman Corporation at its Bethpage, New York facility. The "Tomcat" is the centerpiece of Grumman's aircraft division, representing 20% of total sales. The cancellation of this line would result in the loss of thousands of jobs and would virtually ensure the death of Grumman as a viable manufacturer of military aircraft. The Administration and Congress are both committed to maintaining a strong military deterrent to ensure peace. The "Tomcat" is combat-ready and battle- proven, and we would seriously jeopardize our armed forces were we to eliminate production of the F-14. I am hopeful that after a careful review of the situation, you will agree with me and my colleagues that in the best interests of a strong, vital national defense, America needs the Grumman F-14 "Tomcat."

HUMAN RIGHTS IN YUGOSLAVIA 2042 N. Hobart Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90027 (213) 664-6461 Marija Ann Levic April 4, 1989 Executive Director Mr. John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Office 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington DC 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: As you know from the news, a human tragedy is taking place in Kosovo, the "autonomous" province in southern Yugoslavia. This tragedy and crimes against humanity there could still be contained but only if international public opinion becomes involved. As of March 31, 1989, the death toll in Kosovo exceeded one hundred, according to London's The Times, and more Albanians are being killed each day. West German and Austrian television placed the death toll at 137 as of the end of March. "Yugoslav" security forces (in reality the elite troops comprised of Serbians only and indoctrinated with an almost pathological hatred of Albanians) are shooting Albanians with "dum- dum" bullets which expand when they hit the human target, inflicting large, jagged wounds, though this ammunition is outlawed by international convention. We have received frightening reports of methodical extreme beatings, from house to house, and of other crimes against civilian populations. We are still trying to verify the reports of torture-rapes of Albanian women, e.g., in Urosevac, with police nightsticks causing severe internal injuries (probably the result of Serbian press harangues for months against high Albanian birth rates). There are also reports that whole villages have been forcibly expelled into Albania in the Zur region and that some old and feeble were summarily executed for not being able to move fast enough. The human tragedy and massive crimes against humanity that are now unfolding in Kosovo are caused by Serbia's determination to reimpose its total control over Kosovo and annex it to Serbia. Serbian ultranationalists already annexed another "autonomous" province, Vojvodina, and organized a coup in the small republic of Crna Gora. This way Serbia now has a four-vote majority in the federal government. A state of emergency has been proclaimed in an illegal manner just as the annexation of Kosovo and a constitution change has been imposed with complete disregard for even the semblance of legality. To shorten the embarrassing situation the special security forces have been issued orders to use extreme force against all Albanians protesting their loss of national rights and provincial autonomy. The tragedy of Yugoslav Albanians, who have been second class citizens even before the Kosovo annexation, is only a part of a brutal assault for grabbing power and remodeling federalist Yugoslavia. Milosevic's ultranationalists want to subdue the Slovenian and Croatian population who already elected the West European pluralistic democracy as their objective and their choice. April 4, 1989 Page 2 Albanians account for almost 90% of Kosovo's population. While Serbians consti- tute less than 8%, they have disproportionately high representation in Kosovo's ruling Communist Party. Even the most rabid Serbian ultranationalists are party members under explicit protection of Serbian Communist Party leader, S. Milosevic (whom many compare to Hitler and Mussolini), while there have been wholesale purges of Albanian Communist "counterrevolutionaries." Serbians in Kosovo have exclusive settlements, factories, schools, and clubs where Albanians are not allowed. Serbian judges (for assembly line sentencing), teachers and government officials are being brought in to replace Albanians sacked for being "separatists and nationalists." Tens of thousands of Albanians, even including children, have been sent to the gulag over the past decade for such "crimes" as saying aloud the slogan "Kosovo-Republic." A form of punishment has been reintroduced that has been unknown in Europe since the Nazi occupation- collective punishment of entire families. With the rise of an extreme nationalist, S. Milosevic, as the head of the neighboring Serbian Communist Party, tensions have been escalating. Milosevic created and encouraged a violent "solution" to the Kosovo "question" and called for the complete subjugation of Kosovo to Serbia. This is now in the process of being attempted. Kosovo's limited political autonomy has been abolished. Yugoslavia's two and a half million Albanians fear further discrimination, e.g., the loss of their right to use their language and to practice their religion. Proposals have already been discussed in Beograd to expel all Albanians from Kosovo as the "final solution." This would not be the first time either. Between the two world wars a genocide was conducted on Albanians. It is estimated that more than 200,000 were murdered and 700,000 escaped to Turkey. Their land was in Kosovo. colonized by Serbian army and police officers who received large land grants upon settling Clashes between the Albanian population and the security forces have now become a daily occurrence The cracking of Kalashnikov automatic rifles and the sound of police nightsticks cracking heads is distinctly audible on television newscasts. The army has opened fire on women and children protesting the occupation. No one appears safe from arrest. Even Kosovo's former political leaders, who were removed in February by Beograd (so that a "vote" about annexation would go smoother), have been arrested. The non-Serbian majority of Yugoslavia's population looks with horror and revulsion on this orgy of primitivism and barbarism in the heart of Europe. A Slovenian politician J. Skolc summarized the abhorrence by publicly stating: "Serbians mistreat Albanians in Kosovo exactly as Hitler mistreated Jews on the eve of World War 2. Everybody can without any limit insult or attack Albanians." At the same time as the tragedy unfolds in Kosovo, hysterical street mobs in Beograd are celebrating their "victory" (a victory of primitive tribal hatred over humanity). All sense of proportion has been lost in that eruption of primitivism, e.g., Milosevic who pushed Yugoslavia into total economic collapse is build- ing the largest church in the world for the Serbian Orthodox Church. Or, for example, the lunatic "Big Lie" propaganda: Beograd's press is "explaining" the large number of Albanian protesters killed as-"Albanians killed them to make martyrs out of April 4, 1989 Page 3 themselves." The lunacy appears to be unlimited. Beograd's Duga offered one additional "explanation"-the U.S. State Department and CIA organized demonstrations against the annexation of Kosovo! Recently the editor of Duga visited the U.S, to try to improve Milosevic's image abroad. It would be enlightening for all U.S. politicians and other Americans who met with the Duga editor in the U.S. to think who duped them into meeting with him. The present situation could easily escalate into the bloodiest massacre in Europe since World War 2. There has been a tradition of recurring anti-Albanian genocide and pogroms ever since Serbia seized Kosovo from the Ottoman empire in 1913. We are convinced that only international pressure can convince S. Milosevic and his interior affairs minister, general Petar Gracanin, to forgo the extremist option and substitute negotiation for confrontation and state terror. Above all, the army must leave Kosovo. A Slovenian political leader, who is a beacon of moderation and civility in Yugoslavia, Milan Kucan, recently declined an interview with the following statement: "We are facing a civil war. I cannot say anything else to you." Slovenia has decided not to allow the use of its police for Serbian colonial actions in Kosovo. We know your concern for human rights. Your immediate and energetic involvement will promote human rights and also facilitate progress toward democracy and genuine stability in that part of the world. Please help. Please also demand a clarification of what exactly is the position of the U.S. government in regard to the unfolding tragedy in Kosovo, in regard to the breaking up of the Yugoslav federacy by Serbian ultranationalists, and in regard to the resurgence of chetnick ideology in Serbia. The choice for all Yugoslav nations is simple-Serbian supremacy and Stalinist terror (and the resulting civil war) or pluralistic democracy and the respect for human and national rights. Very truly yours, hanija am buc PS1: All Serbian newspapers and the state agency Tanjug are under the direct control of Serbia's racist dictator Milosevic. You cannot find the truth about Yugoslavia from sources in Beograd. Even in Croatia the terror is increasing again-several newspapers have been confiscated and censored recently. Enclosed is an open leader from leading Slovenian intellectuals appealing to the world community not to be misled by the propaganda campaign from Beograd.

We regard the position of Assistant Administrator for Water as an impor- tant position within the Administration, and one which Ms. Gorman is well qualified to hold. During the past four and a half years, she has worked tirelessly and skillfully to support the Republican Members of this Committee and to promote the positions of the Republican Administration in order to produce sound environmental legislation. To her credit, she has worked on some of the most substantively complex and politically divisive legislation in the Congress. Her legislative areas of responsibility include the Clean Air Act; the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (Superfund); the Superfund Amendments Act (Solid Waste Disposal Act); the Safe Drinking Water Act; Asbestos legisla- and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA); the Resource Conservation and Recovery and her the respect of Members of the House and Senate on both sides areas of the earned tion; her and Groundwater legislation.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: The members of Concerned Women for America (CWA) are deeply disturbed by Senator Dodd's "Act for Better Child Care", particularly in light of its recent co-sponsorship by Senator Orrin Hatch. Pro-family forces fear Senator Hatch's capitulation may ultimately result in the passage of this dangerous legislation in the Senate. As an advocate of the traditional family, CWA stands fundamentally opposed to the Dodd bill's discrimination against families who forego a second income to raise their own children and parents who choose non-governmental care such as relatives, community or church-sponsored day care. We also object to the massive bureaucracy and stringent regulations outlined in the legislation. Clearly, the foundational principles of this legislation are flawed and should be opposed in their entirety. CWA supports tax reform measures that would enable all parents to exercise their options for child care and make it more financially feasible for mothers to remain at home. The American public must not lose sight of the fact that traditional, in-home care by the mother is the ideal. Our members are well aware that a clear choice was presented to the voters during the presidential election: A choice of policies that either hindered or helped the traditional American family. CWA appreciated the perspective on child care included within the 1988 Republican Party Platform: Public policy must acknowledge the full range of family situations. Mothers or fathers who stay at home, who work part-time, or who work full-time, should all receive the same respect and consideration in public policy.

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20005-4105 TELEPHONE (202) 659-6771 TELEX 7400424 FAX (202) 452-0761 April 7, 1989 The Honorable John Sununu White House Chief-of-Staff The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Governor Sununu: You may recall a recent conversation with Cardinal Law and myself concerning a request by the President of the Latin American Bishops' Conference, Bishop Dario Castrillon Hoyos to come to Washington to meet with President Bush and discuss matters of urgent concern to the Catholic bishops of Central and South America. You indicated to Cardinal Law and I an openness to the possible scheduling of such a visit and requested a pre- meeting at which an agenda would be designed for a later meeting between Bishop Castrillon Hoyos and Bishop Oscar Rodriguez, the General Secretary of CELAM. While passing through the United States on Monday, on his way to Rome, Bishop Rodriguez has indicated to me that it would be possible for he and Bishop Castrillon to be in Washington on May 16 or 17 for the purpose of meeting the President and perhaps some other central foreign policy people in the Administration. Noting your desire to have an agenda well in advance of such a meeting, Bishop Rodriguez promised to FAX to me later this week an agenda which he and Bishop Castrillon would prepare while they are together in Rome. Upon receipt, I will call your secretary, Jackie Kennedy, to ask for an appointment to review the agenda. I write now to ask if the dates of May 16 and 17 would be acceptable for a meeting between President Bush and these two prelates from Central and South America. Finally, in seeing the President and the General Secretary of the Conference of Latin American Bishops, I think they will be able to represent the hopes and aspirations of the hierarchy of -2- Central and South America. I fear that too many other bishops' conferences might seek similar meetings with President Bush which he and you might find taxing and repetitive. For this reason, I join with Cardinal Law in sincerely encouraging you in asking the President to meet with these two significant bishops who can represent the hierarchies of Central and South America. With kindest best wishes, I am Clingh Sincerel yours, Reverend Robert N. Lynch General Secretary 11 CC: His Eminence, Bernard Cardinal Law Most Reverend Roger M. Mahony Most Reverend John L.
