Sununu, Chief of Staff Dear John: If half of what one reads here in this "Business Week" article is true, we find it very disturbing. To us it indicates that the Administration is not selling hard to the public, the press, and the legislators its paramount interest in restraining the growth of spending. We feel strongly that the Administration should make it plain it is not trying to eliminate spending programs, implicit in the term "cuts." Instead it sees as essential the need to reduce expansion of spending on federal programs such as will permit significant, bona fide reductions in the federal deficit without raising taxes. We are sure that you are aware, as we are, that once investors abroad get wind of a genuine deficit reduction in the making, without the inflationary potential inherent in tax hikes, significant purchases of Treasurys and consequent interest rate declines will ensue. We reductions. desperately need these interest rate declines to facilitate deficit Thank you for your note regarding my previous communication of April 17th. I was about to mail this memo when your note appeared. Your erstwhile, back country constituents and admirers do earnestly hope that your hearing from us once in a while will prove helpful.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington D.C. 20500 Dear Total Congratulations on an outstanding start as our new administration Chief of Staff. I can think of no one better equipped than you to oversee the important and ambitious agenda of the President. I know that this agenda keeps you very busy, but I would consider it a great honor and a personal favor if any future travel plans out west could include a stop in Oregon's 5th Congressional District. As you know, my 1988 election victory was extremely close, and I have already gone to work on the 1990 campaign. An early start is imperative if Republicans are to keep this seat. An appearance by you at a fundraising event would be a tremendous boost to my campaign. Your appearance would guarantee a successful event, and I can guarantee lots of warm Oregon hospitality. My schedule is open, and the event can be scheduled in conjunction with other trips you may have out west. My thanks for your consideration of this request. Keep fighting the good fights, and let me know whenever I can be of help.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: When you and your colleagues get to the point of considering potential candidates for Regional Administrator of EPA for Region II, I warmly commend to your attention James T.B. Tripp of the Environmental Defense Fund in New York. Jim Tripp served under me as an Assistant U.S. Attorney when I was United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and was an early pioneer in Federal environmental law enforcement, working with EPA in its infancy. He has spent his entire professional life since that time working on environmental issues at EDF. He is sound, fair and reasonable. A highly responsible and committed person. You could not do better in making a selection on the merits.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Sir: Maritrans is pleased to forward for your réview a copy of the comments which we submitted to the U.S. Trade Representative ("USTR") urging her not to nominate maritime services for inclusion in next General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ("GATT"). The list, which is being drawn-up for submission to the GATT at the end of this month, represents a critical turning point in the GATT negotiations. If the USTR lists maritime among the service sectors, the maritime policies of the United States will be put into play as bargaining chips for trade objectives in other sectors. We have attached an executive summary and a copy of the statement which we filed with the USTR in response to the request for public comment on the nomination list. These comments echo the universal opposition by the entire U.S. maritime industry to the negotiation of maritime issues at GATT. We understand that the USTR is leaning toward inclusion of maritime services on the sector list in order to maintain "negotiating flexibility". We urge you to review the attached comments and to express to the USTR your opposition to the inclusion of waterborne transportation among the negotiable service sectors. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss these points with you if you have questions. Sincerely yours, James James H. Sanborn Executive Vice-President Maritrans GP Inc.

We read the articles in National Review and Manhattan, Inc. We think you have done a masterful job at maintaining your composure, controlling the situation and providing appropriate hu- mor during your television interviews. Is Sam Donaldson as adversarial off camera as on? In addition to my medical practice, currently I am a student in the Ex- ecutive MBA program at Tulane University. My parents are not aware of this. I hope to surprise them and bring them down for graduation, June, 1990. Our EMBA program has a three day Executive Course, April 27-29, 1990, gathering successful CEO's, politicians, etc. to spend a short while discussing their particular fields of endeavor with the students. I feel you would be an excellent choice as one of our guest conference leaders. The University possibly would ask you to address other depart- ments, the time frame being one or two days. May I give our program di- rector, Kathy Meunier, your name as an individual whom she might contact for further discussion? I have not mentioned this to anyone at Tulane nor do I intend to without your authorization. We are looking forward to visiting with you and Nancy here on the Gulf Coast. As DH. ever, Dwight H.

SWEENEY CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER May 3, 1989 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear John: Judging from what I read in the newspapers, it appears you have settled in at the White House and are providing the type of leadership so necessary to our country. I realize you are extremely busy and I hesitate to write on a purely personal matter. My brother, John T. Sweeney, has, for the past fifteen years, been a United States Administrative Law Judge for the Office of Hearings and Appeals, Social Security Administration, Department of Health and Human Services here in Boston. A copy of his resume is enclosed. At the present time, there is no permanent Chief Regional Law Judge for Region I which covers all of New England. Instead, Region I is supervised by the Chief Regional Law Judge for Region II comprising New York and New Jersey on a continuing 120-day temporary assignment. My brother informs me that some consideration is being given to re-establishing the Chief Regional Law Judge in Region I on a permanent basis. Apparently, there is a need for a Chief in Region I to deal directly with Congressional liaison staff relative to issues impacting constituent services as well as other Region I Federal and State agencies involved with disability determinations, Medicare and Medicaid coverage problems. Of equal importance would be helping to resolve the difficulties in case assignments indigenous to the unique case load situation in New England. It would seem to me that our New England people would be better served by having a permanent New England concerned individual always available at the John F. Kennedy regional office rather than relying on the Region II Chief who, I suspect, has more than enough to do in his own region. Of course, there may very well be sound reasons why Region I ought not to have its own Chief after so many years but if, indeed, there is consideration for re-establishment, I would appreciate it greatly if the appropriate personnel would be apprised of my brother's credentials. I understand that United States behalf. Marshal Jim Roche has already spoken to your personnel on my brother's Honorable John H. Sununu -2- May 2, 1989 lef of Staff The White House In addition to the accomplishments and awards contained in his resume, please note that he has recently been elected as President of the almost 100,000 member University of Massachusetts/Amherst Alumni Association. While, as a federal employee, he has had no political involvement these past fifteen years, he is known and well-respected on both sides of the political aisle. Thank you very much for your interest in this matter and I look forward to seeing you again soon and renewing some of those great discussions we had relative to energy policy for our country.

Although I realize you may be receiving Honorary Degrees at other institutions, I am hopeful that you will tailor this speech here in your home state, taking into consideration what has happened on this campus during the last few months, Although the decision for Colby-Sawyer College to admit men by the fall of 1990 is the right one for the college, it has been gut-wrenching for some of our constituencies, particularly the seniors and their parents, as well as for members of the faculty who have been here for a long time. For this reason, I am asking you not to make a political address, but instead to give a speech to a group of marvelous young women, who are ambivalent about leaving the college, and who are fearful that their alma-mater will lose something in its transition. I would not stress coeducation, but perhaps comment on the strength of convictions and how important it is for our Nation to speak out, etc. You are a wonderful speaker, John, and I felt that if I provided you with a flavor of the environment here at Colby-Sawyer College that you would consider adjusting your speech appropriately. If you can keep your comments to 15-20 minutes -- that, too, would be within the parameters of our ceremony. As a small college, the "personal" touch is very important, so I do hope you will be able to attend the reception in the back of the President's house for a short time to meet with the parents and graduates. COLBY-SAWYER COLLEGE NEW LONDON, NEW HAMPSHIRE 03257 603-526-2010 Thanks for taking the time to read this. My regards to Bonnie. You are both doing a most difficult but splendid job and, I know, receive little appreciation. As someone once told me --- "Peggy, if you need love, get a dog. " --- I did! Know that I look forward to seeing you and your family in the near future. Warmly, Peggy stock Peggy A. Stock President P.S. I hope your staff will let us know how many family members and friends will attend the ceremonies.

" Here is a photocopy of the letter I sent to you -- which did not get to you -- but apparently "stalled out" somewhere along the line. At least that is what I have been told by my friend, George Koch, who represents the Grocery Manufacturers of America. I have known George Koch for over 25 years. He is not just a "lobbyist," he is a friend, too. Knowing you and how attentive you are to all of us in Congress, I know you would have wanted to personally review that one. Now you have that opportunity. I trust you will be able to give some assistance on this one. Please let me know if you need any further information from me. Thanks so much, John.

Dear Governor: The enclosed article by my dear friend, Muhamad Mugraby, is one of the clearest statements on the Lebanese situation that I have ever read. Muhamad, a Columbia graduate and international lawyer, also maintains a residence in New York City, and has been a frequent participant in our national activities for Lebanon here in the United States. He has always spoken a nationalist line and as such, has exposed himself to danger. I regard him as a brave and true Lebanese patriot. He is the kind of with the President. person that I had hoped we could have brought to our proposed meeting In any case, I am appreciative that our task force chairman, Peter Tanous, was included in the recent meeting. However, I would beseech you to allow a meeting with the President of a more representative American group. The Task Force for Lebanon is the only such group in existence today and is in a unique situation to articulate policy positions more in line with the new spirit of nationalism that will soon sweep Lebanon.

As you may know, last November 1988, California passed a state law known as Proposition 65. A provision in Proposition 65 requires manufacturers to give consumers notification if a product contains even trace amounts of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. Since virtually all manufactured food products and most cosmetic and pharmaceutical products contain trace amounts of carcinogenic chemicals, products which have already been deemed safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would nonetheless be required to have a special warning label in California. The Proposition 65 provision is not only in conflict with the FDA approval process, but it also threatens to cause great confusion among consumers. In addition, the Proposition sets the stage for the creation of state requirements which could be inconsistent with each other and the FDA. In mid-January 1989, the Food and Drug Administration proposed a regulation which would establish a national uniformity standard for product safety. The regulation was sent to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) where it remains in the hands of staffers who seem to oppose it. I respectfully urge you to request timely action by OMB with regard to the finalization and promulgation of the FDA's proposed regulation. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this matter.

Dear John: We have information that the "ABC" daycare bill may be heard on the Senate floor any time between Thursday of this week and May 16. We have alerted our members nationwide to contact their Senators asking them to vote against it. We will do all we can to defeat the "ABC" bill. But without crucial help from the Administration in the form of a message firmly promising a Presidential veto, it will be hard to keep some Republicans from straying off the reservation. Now is the time for President Bush to send a clear message to the Hill that he will veto both the "ABC" and Packwood-Moynihan bills because they are discriminatory bureaucracy-builders, totally unacceptable to the American taxpayers. Please give us your assurance that the Administration will play this vital role in helping to defeat these bad and costly bills. Child Tax Credits are the high moral ground of this issue, and we need a "read my lips" message from the President that allows no compromise with those who want the feds to take over baby-sitting.

Suomala 2 Buck Ridge Drive Post Office Box 478 Amherst, New Hampshire 03031 April 27, 1989 Governor John Sununu The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor Sununu, Having had dinner at the same table with you during the New Hampshire State Rifle & Pistol Association's annual banquet several years ago, I know that you are a friend to the gun owners of New Hampshire. However, due to the extremely biased reports in the press and the obviously well intentioned but very misinformed statements made by Mr. Bennett and others, I simply had to write you to make sure that you had all of the facts. In places such as New York City, The District of Columbia and other areas with so-called "strict gun laws", the crime rate is many times greater than areas with fewer restrictions on firearm ownership. Some have argued that this would not be so if there were additional Federal restrictions on firearm ownership. This argument fails when one considers how often those engaged in illegal drug traffic use fully automatic weapons which have been under the 1932. strictest possible control by Federal legislation since Legislation intended to restrict the ownership of firearms effects only those it purports to protect, the innocent law-abiding citizens who find pleasure and security in their ownership of firearms. Since the avowed goal of all legislation to restrict firearm ownership is to reduce the number of crimes committed with firearms, it makes no sense at all to implement legislation that affects only those who, as a general rule, do not commit criminal acts. The only practical and logical way to reduce the use of firearms in criminal acts is to greatly increase the penalty BARGAINING. for this use and INSIST ON STRICT ENFORCEMENT WITH NO PLEA Most law-abiding firearm owners like myself have tried to go about our business without constantly responding to the ever increasing attacks on us by the fourth estate. Unfortunately those who mount these attacks frequently fail to get the facts correct and automatically, or semi-automatically if you prefer (pardon the pun), assume that what is fed to them by anti-firearm groups is the 1 truth. Any investigative reporter worthy of the name could easily uncover the true facts but wether due to just plain incompetence or personal bias it often seems they do not. Frankly I for one am fed up with being constantly made to appear to be the cause of increased violent crime which is in reality caused by the breakdown of the criminal justice system. The recent tragic incident at the Stockton, CA Cleveland Elementary School was perpetrated by a person, Patrick Purdy, who had a long record of arrests for numerous felonies which were plea bargained down to misdemeanors and he was thus able to purchase firearms legally even under California's law requiring a 15 day waiting period and extensive police background check. Only a few days after this tragic incident Patrick Purdy's court records were sealed. Why has no investigative reporter looked into this or attempted to have the records unsealed ? As a member of the New Hampshire State Civilian High Power Rifle Team, I am just one of many thousands who fire semi-automatic high power rifles with 20 round magazines at paper bull's-eye targets in organized competitions at ranges up to 1000 yards. I have been doing this for more than 20 years. The myth that these rifles are inaccurate and unsuitable for sporting purposes is false. The open national high power rifle championship was won in 1986 with this type of rifle. The rifle I use is capable of placing all shots in a 9 inch diameter circle at a range of 600 yards. This year I will travel about 2000 miles to matches, fire approximately 1500 rounds in competition and another 500 rounds in practice. I am a firearm owner but I also financially support public broadcasting, the arts, land and wildlife conservation and several charities. I have been active in civic affairs (Planning Board, Zoning Board of Adjustment, Boy Scouts, Dollars for Scholars, Land Trust, Town Republican Committee). There are many firearm owners who perform much more community service than I do and I only mention the facts to make you aware of the broad spectrum of citizens who are firearm owners. If we try to combat crime by passing restrictive laws that only the law-abiding obey, then the root cause of the problem, the failed criminal justice system, will never get fixed. One must also bear in mind that some in the law enforcement community have given up hoping for improvements and feel that the only way they can get relief is by creating a semi-police state where the rights of the law-abiding citizens are abridged. This amounts to an admission that the bad guys have won. I have not given up and I hope you will not. 2 I know I can count on you to see that "the boss" gets the correct information and does not fall into the media trap We all worked hard to get President Bush elected, please don't let us down.

Your achievements with the Administration certainly makes all of us in the LSMA family indeed quite proud. I would also like to take this opportunity to ask your assistance for a young man who is seeking a Presidential appointment as Commissioner for the Federal Maritime Commission. Gregory Lee Lambert is an accomplished and extremely competent individual whom I have known for several years. He is one who would certainly serve with distinction and would be a tremendous asset to the President's team. Greg's application is currently with Mr. Charles G. Untermeyer, and I would sincerely appreciate your taking the time to look into this well qualified young man's credentials. Thank you for your time and again, sincerest congratulations.

Sununu Chief of Staff Executive Office of the President The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear John: This is to invite you to attend a luncheon I shall host in the Secretary of the Interior's dining room in the Interior Department on May 11, 1989 at noon. The subject of the luncheon will be a discussion of the possibilities for improving the coordination of federal water programs and policies, not only with each other but also with state water programs. Last fall, I convened a Water Coordination Working Group, which included representatives of EPA, OMB, the Department of Interior, and various state, environmental, business and academic interests. I brought the group together after becoming frustrated by the multiplicity of state and federal agencies with jurisdiction over water while I worked to coordinate drought response efforts during the summer of 1988. After two meetings, the group achieved consensus that it is time to take steps to improve the coordination of federal water policies. At the luncheon I shall present the report of the group and seek to engage invitees in a dialogue regarding steps we might take to improve water policy coordination. I hope you will be able to attend.

This is one area where we can alert educators in this country that we need to see better results for the amount of money we put into education each year. Given this premise, I have no doubt that we will see more accountability and better use of resources from our educators. Lastly, I would like to commend you for the good work you are doing at the White House. A good friend of your family (the D'Agostino's- I believe Joe taught you in high school) is also a good friend of ours.

Two Forks, an entirely locally funded project, is necessary to ensure growth in both the Denver metropolitan area and in Colorado as a whole. Denver cannot continue to provide sufficient water to its suburbs via existing structures and the city has already threatened to cut off water for future growth. Two Forks is supported by the Army Corps of Engineers, the Colorado Division of Wildlife, the Colorado Health Department, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Department, the Nebraska Game and Parks Department, the entire Colorado Republican Congressional delegation, Denver Mayor Federico Pena and over forty different Colorado cities, counties, and water districts. Rarely has such a wide-ranging coalition supported such a project. EPA Administrator Reilly has refused to meet with the Colorado Congressional delegation concerning this project. However, he is holding a public hearing with Nebraska Senator Robert Kerrey. Many loyal Colorado Republicans worked hard and donated generously to elect President Bush and Mr. Reilly's actions have left a feeling of betrayal among them. The Honorable John Sununu April 20, 1989 Page 2 In your capacity as Chief of Staff, I am hoping you will see that these concerns are brought to the attention of President Bush. The political and economic ramifications of Mr. Reilly's decision on Two Forks are enormous and potentially devastating to Denver and Colorado's economic future. Thank you for your time and careful consideration on this issue. Sincerely, Paul D.

I first met Amal in New Orleans at the Arab American Republican Federation Reception in your honor. She subsequently moved to the Washington, D.C. area with her two children, and volunteered at the Bush-Quayle '88 Campaign and at the Transition. You have met her on at least two occasions. She picked you up with Ed Rodgers on Thursday, November 17, 1988, at Andrews Air Force Base. She also had a picture taken with you at the St. Jude's Dinner during the pre-dinner V.I.P. reception. Amal also worked in Policy and Speechwriting during the Transition, with Bob Grady. I have met Amal through the Orthodox Church which my family and I attend. She strikes me as committed, and is in need of employment. She has been in touch with the White House Personnel Office, but does not seem to be making much progress.

Planning Engineering Environmental Design Development 18 April 1989 Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Dear John, The Inner Circle 1989 Spring gathering was interesting, informative and very enjoyable. We met a lot of wonderful Americans and hopefully we will get to know some of them better in the future. As far as m.y wife Joane and I are concerned, the highlight of our Washington D.C. experience was the very gracious dinner party at the Four Way Restaurant, which you SO kindly hosted. Meeting you in person was indeed a very special pleasure for both of US. You were a perfect host: gracious, generous and most hospitable. We are very proud of you John, and pray that the almighty God guides you always to help President Bush in his quest to bring prosperity and tranquility in our United States and a just and equitable peace in the troubled world especially, the Middle East. If you and Mrs. Sununu ever make it to the West Coast, Joane and I would love to reciprocate your hospitality at our home in the beautiful citrus City of Corona, Riverside County. We would be most honored and delighted to see you both here. Thank you again for your kindness and hospitality. May God bless you always.

I am writing merely to point out the political ramifications of recent decisions relative to the project. At a time when Colorado appears to be headed for an economic turnaround, the setbacks contained in Reilly's announcement serve only to place a damper on the economic optimism of our region. Two Forks has been built into our growth plans in the Denver and Front Range areas. Two Forks is entirely locally funded. No federal or state funds will be used. Yet for some reason, Reilly has refused to meet with the Colorado Congressional delegation about this Colorado water project. In fact, he is holding a public hearing with Democrat Senator Bob Kerry of Nebraska. There are many loyal Republicans here who have worked hard to elect President Bush. I can tell you with no uncertainty, that this G.O.P. loyalty is being vigorously tested. Clearly, further actions by the Bush administration relative to Two Forks are of paramount importance as we struggle to amass our collective support for our next U.S. Senator in 1990. Those Coloradans, who are planning on a prosperous future and stable economic strength simply need to feel that their voices are heard in Washington. At the very least, our capable Republican representatives deserve a proper audience among the administration that we worked so tirelessly to secure.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President of the United States of America The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear John: It has come to my attention that Ms. Teresa A. Gorman, a Professional Staff Member working for the Republican Members of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, has been recommended by Administrator William K. Reilly to be the Assistant Administrator for Water at the Environmental Protection Agency. Throughout the 99th Congress, when the Committees on Public Works and Energy and Commerce worked on the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), I had the opportunity to become acquainted with the skills of Ms. Gorman. During the rather difficult negotiations on that bill in the House and with the Senate, Ms. Gorman displayed a keen loyalty to the positions taken by the Members she represented, tempered with a professionalism which earned the respect of all. Since that time, Ms. Gorman has also worked on ground water legislation and other measures of mutual interest to the Energy and Commerce Committee and the Public Works Committee. Her work on this issue as well has demonstrated intelligence and sensibility. In my opinion, she would be an excellent choice for the position of Assistant Administrator for Water. She combines the right blend of substantive understanding of the issues with a keen sensitivity to the political process. Given the high priority we attach to environmental issues, such as the -2- Clean Water Act and Superfund in this Committee, I believe she would be a welcome addition to the management of the Environmental Protection Agency.

INGENIEUR CIVIL LT P.O. BOX 1445. BEIRUT LEBANON PHONE XXXX TELEX XXXXXXXX 335065 KAMEL 42834 LE Mr John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington D.C. U.S.A. April 7,1989 Dear Mr Sununu, I am the son of George Salameh who was the grandson of George Salameh and Mary Sununu your father's grandaunt and I wish to congratulate you for your nomination to the position of Chief of Staff at the White House. I constantly found your name in the international newspapers and magazines during President Bush's campaign and was sure that your contribution to the success of this campaign would be recognized We, the children of George Salameh, were very proud that this recognition took this form, and I wish you success and gratification in the fulfilment of this turn in your career. After having completed my engineering syudies in Paris and Lon- don and after having performed various trainings in France, Great Britain and the United States, I came to Lebanon in 1974, in an environment I used to Appreciate, to exercise my civil engineering career And I have been the witness, from 1975 onwards, of the fall of the Lebanese Republic. I would like to deliver you, in this letter, the thoughts of a person, myself, who is not devoid of wisdom, about the Lebanese crisis. Lebanon is presently an occupied divided country with a seemingly unsolvable problem. The Syrian army is occupying about 60% of its territory, Israel is nurturing a militia in South Lebanon, its Northern frontier in order to protect this frontier Lebanon, once prosperous, has seen during the past fourteen years most of its institutions crippled ;almost all the foreign firms which had esta- blished headquarters or satellite offices in Beirut have left this country. Once a touristic attraction, Lebanon has seen most of its prestigious hotels demclished, have become an unsafe country deser- ted by tourists. Once a medical center for the middle east through institutions such as the American University Hospital or the Hotel Dieu de France, many of its famed surgeons and doctors have been compelled to omigrate (while still very good doctors are found over here) and middle eastern personalities, businessmen and fami- lies have chosen to undergo medical treatment in Europe instead. Lebanon has long been envied by some of its neighbours and the Lebanese have not all been very charitable during the prosperous years, many of them had been boasting too 1oud their good fortunes with an irritating sense of show-off The crisis in Lebanon had been partly due to the Lebanese themselves, most of the politicians over here were corrupt and have been working mainly for their be- nefit proper rather than work hard in order to build a solid nation. This has lead Lebanon to be a weak country upon which the games of its neighbours have been succesful in destabilizing the country. ../.. Page 2 he neghbour who has been the most influential in Lebanon and the most harmful is Syria It has taken advantage of the many contradic- tions existing in our country and of its weakness to extend its influence among the different parties over here. Syria has been called upon, at the beginning of the Lebanese crisis in 1975, by the government to help settle the conflicts Syria played a rather vicious game, contacting the different parties and officially dispensing apeasing recommendations, while doing all it could to keep fire under the ashes. this was not apparent at the beginning, and at that time the Syrian army was not present in Lebanon. Everybody regarded the Syrian envoys as saviours Later, as the internal war developed, the Christian leaders called Syria for help and Syria sent its army to Lebanon, fought the Palestinians and, after a while, obtained a military status quo in Lebanon The Arab League decided, late 1976, to have an Arab peacekeeping force in Lebanon and this force consis- ted in the already present Syrian army to which were added a few Saudi and Yemeny soldiers. From that moment on, the Syrian through its army and its envoys, started to act as an army of occupation. The behaviour of the Syrian part of thr peacekeeping forces became gradually brutal, arrogant and repressive Rapes were common, theft usual anf all abandoned houses were stripped to the bones, the furniture, windows, tiles, sanita- ry fittings etc were sent by truckloads to Syria (on Syrian army trucks) Later, everytime Syria wanted something from the Lebanese government or from the Christians, it has used the language of cannon. It has not been tender either with its allies, imposing its views through gunfire and playing an ally against another to weaken them and keep them under its might Later, when its allies became obedient, Syria sent them tanks, cannons and weapons to strengthen them against the Christians When there was a president and a government in Leba- non, it was humiliating to see some members of the government go to Damascus to seek instructions. Fifteen years of internal conflicts and thirteen years of Syrian occupation are enough, and Syria is a destabilizing agent in this country. The toll of destruction has gone too far. It is normal for us to think that Germany and Japan, who have provoked World War 2, and who have been so harmful during that war, have had the chance to be defeated by the allies and mainly the United States, who have proven their grandeur and their farsightedness by helping Germany and Japan restore their economy and dignity, and recover their place among the leading nations of the free world. On the other hand, Lebanon, who after all is a small harmless nation, notwithstanding its defects, has had the bad luck, after the internal conflicts shattered its economy, displaced its population and ruined a system, which was after all working rather satisfactorily, to be occupied by a third world nation, Syria, who, impoverished by its so-called socialism and by overarmament, has the ambition of subjecting Lebanon to its harsh rule since this is all what is left for Syria, playing political games in the area, ransacking the Arab nations through the menace of exporting terrorism and earning money in lebanon cultivating and sending drugs to the occidental nations. There are many, many decent people in Lebanon striving, through hard work, to obtain a good education for their children. Lebanon has pro- duced many writers, composers, musicians, historians, doctors, lawyers and engineers who have distinguished themselves in their fields and hy of which have been compelled to emigrate to safer skies Lebanon S part of the free world with its free enterprise system,a free press which is seldom in this part of the world It is disappointing that the free world and the United States headingdoes not accuse more openly and strictly the misbehaviour of Syria in Lebanon. It was ea- sier for President Reagan to treat Khomeini and the Iranian regime as barbarians since Iran is not part of the Soviet block. The last three weeks of bombing of the Christian area by the Syrian army has been terrifying, has caused death and damage to an already damaged nation and is contributing in producing unsecure children .All schools are closed and children are kept idle in their homes .As far as my family is concerned, we have found refuge in the mountain since our apartment has been flooded and our building bombed, my wife has ob- tained a program of work for our daughter and is teaching her daily to keep her occupied. I can understand that President Bush is cautious because of the prob- lem of the U.S. hostages in Lebanon But should not pressures be exer- ted on Syria in order that it stops bombing innocent civilians and ruining a nation which is calling for freedom and decency? A calendar of withdrawal of Syrian troops should be imposed to Syria since it is clear now that Syria is nurturing civil unrest in Lebanon, encoura- ging and exporting terrorism from Lebanon (it is Syria, as you well know by now, who introduced these iranian groups in villages in Lebanon and helped them constitute the Hezbollah parties who have further destabilized Lebanon and carried out terrorist actions abroad) and producing on the Lebanese territory hard drugs which it is sending to Europe and the U.S. Should you wish to acknowledge receipt of this letter or correspond, I recommend, since postal services with Lebanon are deficient, to send correspondance to the following address: 8A, Chemin du Calabert 69130 Ecully FRANCE who will transmit.

Sununu, Chief of Staff Dear John: I do wish that you people would insist on a presentation of the budget program that the average Joe can understand. Don't let the big spending politicians and press get away with emphasizing "cuts." Make it plain that you are striving to "slow the growth of spending. You are requesting "reductions in the growth of spending.' I'm sure the average person and even those who should know better think that "cuts" mean the elimination of desirable social programs. Look at the "Wall Street Journal" articles (enclosed) talking about "cuts," and "reducing projected domestic spending." They never make it plain that the "reductions" pertain to "growth of spending." I do believe that if you insist on a policy of publicizing your budget proposals as a way of slowing spending growth, avoiding the "cuts" conotations, you'll gain much better public and consequently political acceptance of what you and we desire.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: Enclosed are statistics and backup data which, I believe, present a compelling case for the need for 200,000 additional prison cells immediately; or, at least, over the next several years which it will take to build them if we proceed immediately at full speed. I am enclosing a one-page "fact sheet" to provide the picture at a glance backed up by a two-page summary and backed up further by the sources. From the fact sheet, it is established that the current overcrowding and the premature release of convicts because of overcrowding for the past several years establish a current need for more than 200,000 cells. Projecting the increases in inmate population to 1994, there will be a need for more than 400,000 cells. In addition to the cold statistics on shortage of prison space, it may be even more important that large numbers of convicted criminals are not given jail sentences, as testified by Chief Judge Ugast of the District of Columbia Superior Court and Chief Judge Pryor of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, because of the insufficient prison space. Additionally, many defendants are at liberty awaiting trial without posting bail because of insufficient detention facilities. Perhaps the incredible prison situation is capsulated by the fact that 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are under court orders or have pending litigation on prison overcrowding. It is easier to identify the states not affected: Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey and North Dakota. On the issue raised by others that the federal government should leave it to the states, the facts are clear that: (1) these criminals are a federal responsibility because the offenses are drug related or they are career criminals moving in interstate commerce, or both; and (2) the states alone are not and will not get the necessary prisons built as promptly as necessary to provide for public safety.

Wyngaarden, director of the National Institutes of Health. The Federation is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is the dissemination of new knowledge in the life sciences through its meetings, publications, and programs. The approximately 30,000 members of the federated societies -- who are PhD's, MD's or both -- conduct investigational programs in the biological and medical sciences in major research, educational, and clinical centers throughout the United States. FASEB has counted 114 Nobel Laureates among its membership since it was founded in 1912 and is widely respected by Federal agencies for its preeminent role in biological and medical research. The FASEB Public Service Award goes to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the cause of biological and medical research through achievements in government, public affairs, writing, law, the arts and other nonscientific fields. Previous winners have been key Members of Congress, philanthropist Mary Lasker, columnist Ann Landers, former NIH Director James Shannon and scientist Lewis Thomas. Dr. Wyngaarden was chosen to receive the FASEB Public Service Award because of his superb performance as director of NIH, his dedication to advancing the nation's biomedical research efforts and his unwavering support of the basic sciences. The Federation Board also took note of the major role NIH has played under Dr. Wyngaarden in mobilizing the nation's medical research community to combat AIDS. PUBLISHER OF THE FASEB JOURNAL Governor John Sununu April 13, 1989 Page 2 As I noted in the letter informing Dr. Wyngaarden of his selection to receive the Public Service Award, his leadership has earned him wide respect in government and in the scientific community. It has been in the best tradition of the great institution he serves. A copy of my letter is attached. Dr. Wyngaarden was presented with the award at FASEB's 73rd Annual Meeting which was held in New Orleans last month. I am confident you would want to be made aware of the honor given to Dr. Wyngaarden and am glad to bring this matter to your attention. Howard Sincerely, K. Schachma Howard K.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: The purpose of this letter is to seek your friendly advice and possible help. For the past ten years or so I have worked closely with an international scientific organization, the Institut de la V.ie. It was created nearly forty years ago by a highly capable French medical scientist on the faculty of the Sorbonne. He is a strongly conservative individual. In the midst of the various political currents, many of them left-wing, that were current in the European scientific community he decided to devote himself to pursuing goals which would place science in the service of life, not least the global problems, and hopefully divert some of the other activities of the scientists around him. He has for the most part been supported by private sources, such as private foundations and industry, although the conservative government of France and the Swiss government have, on occasion, supported some of his work. In the main, the activities of the Institut are devoted to scientific meetings and conferences. All I have attended have been carried out at an exceedingly high professional level and have been directed toward problems of great importance. They range, for example, from studies of the care of the autistic child to the relationship between the physical and biological sciences to the preservation of genetic material important for agriculture. The principal base of the Institut is in Switzerland near Lausanne but Professor Marois is in the process of setting up specialized centers in a number of countries. One of the goals is to establish a center for biological diversity in Washington, D.C. possibly linked to the U.S. National Arboretum, although that matter remains open. The Honorable John H. Sununu April 13, 1989 Page Two It is intended that a planning meeting be held at the end of summer or early autumn to review the entire situation relative to the preservation of diversity. Professor Marois hopes that since there will be a very distinguished group of scientists present at that meeting, President Bush may be willing to make an appearance. In fact, the dates for the meeting would be adjusted to suit his convenience. An alternative, of course, would be that the President might be willing to greet the leaders of the conference at the White House. We all know the busy, and at times unpredictable, schedule of the President. The issue of preservation of species is one that probably would be of personal interest to him. It would be good to have your opinion concerning this issue. I am also enclosing a letter which might be passed on to the President if you feel this merits his attention as I for one hope will be the case. Perhaps I should add that some scientists from East Bloc countries have participated in the various meetings but in the main most of the participants have been from United States and the overwhelming fraction from the Free World. You will also find appended a brochure written in both French and English which describes the main activities of the Institut, the membership of its Governing Board and special comments on the matters related to preservation of biological diversity. As you can imagine, I have a great deal more literature available concerning the various conferences held over the years but do notwant to overwhelm you with all of this at the moment. Very best wishes. Sincerely, Fred Frederick Seitz ID# 027614 THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENCE TRACKING WORKSHEET INCOMING DATE RECEIVED: APRIL 18, 1989 NAME OF CORRESPONDENT: THE HONORABLE ANTHONY J.

Our membership has a vital interest in Federal policy as it affects this industry. No issues are of greater importance to us than those surrounding the Modification of Final Judgement (MFJ), the antitrust decree which established a competitive marketplace for telecommunications. Through articles in the trade press, we understand that you have recently met with the heads of the seven Regional Bell Holding Companies (RHCs) to discuss proposals for lifting the so-called line-of-business restrictions imposed on the RHCs by the MFJ. This Association, and a substantial number of associations and corporations, is strongly opposed to efforts now underway outside of the judicial system aimed at eliminating the line-of-business restrictions. We recently wrote to Attorney General Thornberg on this matter and enclose a copy of that letter for your information. We believe that the government, in entering into the agreement with AT&T sanctioned by the MFJ, has a substantial obligation to support the court order in accordance with its terms. It is, of course, our view that the terms of the MFJ are excellent public policy for fostering innovation and real competition. 2000 M Street, N.W., Suite 550, Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 296-9800 FAX: (202) 296-4993 We would appreciate having some of your time so that a small group of representative companies and associations could meet with you to discuss our views and perspectives on these highly important matters.

Fitzpatrick, Jr., Administrator of the Department of Agriculture Office of Transportation is seeking to fill one of the expired Republican positions on the Interstate Commerce Commission. Mr. Fitzpatrick represents an opportunity for agricultural and rural America to support a candidate who understands the transportation problems unique to agriculture and rural America. Mr. Fitzpatrick has had legislative experience in dealing with agricultural and rural issues while serving as Chief Legislative Assistant and Agriculture Legislative Assistant for Senator Roger Jepsen, as evidenced in his attached resume. Furthermore, Mr. Fitzpatrick has developed a thorough understanding of rural and agricultural transportation issues while serving as administrator of the Office of Transportation in the past eight years. It is my perception that Mr. Fitzpatrick is someone who can muster bipartisan support, who is qualified for the job, and is confirmable by the Senate. His proven record in agriculture and agricultural transportation policy makes him a unique candidate for a position most vital to agriculture.

For his sake, In anixons to clarify the subject of "tention tax creats", which I 1 spirit. : a somewhat lengthy out- discussed with hair several terials in my long ition was a clipping from ternes when he 'eak For Private School asked you at a recent ould receive a tax break IWS: "NO, they shouldn' t. 1 think It 1S the obligation of all taxpayers to support the public education system in order to be the best. "Everybody should support the public school system and then, if on top of that, your parents think that they want to shell out in addition to the tax money, tuition money, that's their right. But I don't think they should get a break for that." Quite frankly, Mr. President, I was shocked to read this clipping, parti- cularly because of our discussions on this very matter. I recall that I raised the issue of tuition tax credits with you during one of my visits to your office when you were Vice President, and you told me in no uncertain terms that you were fully supportive of this concept. In addition, when you responded to a written questionnaire circulated last year by Agudath Israel's Commission on Legislation and Civic Action to the various presidential candidates, you stated specifically as follows: "I have long supported tuition tax credits because I believe that we should provide greater choice in education. Tuition tax credits are one way to achieve that." 84 William Street, New York, N.Y. 10038 (212) 797-9000 ID# 027418 THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENCE TRACKING WORKSHEET INCOMING DATE RECEIVED: APRIL 17, 1989 NAME OF CORRESPONDENT: THE HONORABLE DAN SCHAEFER SUBJECT: ENCLOSES COPY OF CONGRESSMEN DAN SCHAEFER AND HANK BROWN NEWS CONFERENCE CRITICAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY DECISION REGARDING THE TWO FORKS WATER PROJECT ACTION DISPOSITION ROUTE TO: ACT DATE TYPE C COMPLETED OFFICE/AGENCY (STAFF NAME) CODE YY/MM/DD RESP D YY/MM/DD JOHN SUNUNU ORG 89/04/17 / / REFERRAL NOTE: / / / / REFERRAL NOTE: " / / / / REFERRAL NOTE: / / / / REFERRAL NOTE: / / / / REFERRAL NOTE: COMMENTS: ADDITIONAL CORRESPONDENTS: MEDIA:L INDIVIDUAL CODES: MAIL USER CODES: (A) (B) (C) *ACTION CODES: *DISPOSITION *OUTGOING * * * *CORRESPONDENCE: * *A-APPROPRIATE ACTION *A-ANSWERED *TYPE RESP=INITIALS * *C-COMMENT/RECOM *B-NON-SPEC-REFERRAL * OF SIGNER * *D-DRAFT RESPONSE *C-COMPLETED * CODE = A * *F-FURNISH FACT SHEET *S-SUSPENDED *COMPLETED = DATE OF * *I-INFO COPY/NO ACT NEC* * OUTGOING * *R-DIRECT REPLY W/COPY * * * *S-FOR-SIGNATURE * * * *X-INTERIM REPLY * * * REFER QUESTIONS AND ROUTING UPDATES TO CENTRAL REFERENCE (ROOM 75, OEOB) EXT-2590 KEEP THIS WORKSHEET ATTACHED TO THE ORIGINAL INCOMING LETTER AT ALL TIMES AND SEND COMPLETED RECORD TO RECORDS MANAGEMENT. 027418 DAN SCHAL ET ENERGY AND COMMERCE 6TH DISTRICT.

April 13, 1989 The Honorable John Sunnunu Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sunnunu: On Monday, April 3, 1989, Congressman Hank Brown and I held a news conference in Denver blasting the decision Mr. William Reilly, Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, has made to initiate the veto process for the Two Forks water project under the Clean Water Act. We were joined by representatives from many diverse citizen groups who also feel the project is critical to meet metro Denver's water requirements into the next century. I have enclosed copies of statements made available at the press conference. I thought you would appreciate having a copy of this information, knowing of your interest in this matter. It is my hope that during this process the EPA will consider the economic impact of its decision and pay special heed to the extensive environmental mitigation plan that was years in the making and that was agreed to by all other governmental reviewing entities. Since Mr. Reilly's current decision sets disturbing precedents for our Western states, I am asking for your assistance in ensuring that this matter is resolved at the regional level, with full regard for the unbiased facts involved in this issue. The enclosed materials are for your reference use concerning the Two Forks project. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards.

Your willingness to discuss this matter with me on several occasions was appreciated more than I can say.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20501 Dear John: The opportunity to talk with you during the President's dinner for Prime Minister Shamir greatly enhanced the pleasure of the event for me. We discussed the Jaffee Center Study of Israel's options for peace and I am enclosing a copy of the report which was co-sponsored by the American Jewish Congress and by the Anti Defamation League. The report examines six options for peace and concludes that none of the options offers a "reasonable avenue for dealing with the West Bank and Gaza". I am also enclosing a report of the Jaffee Center which the Center itself without American Jewish Congress or ADL sponsorship prepared in which they set forth their outline for a "dynamic, that .may break the dead-lock". I think you will find them both in- teresting reading and again, it was a real pleasure being with you. Cordially X
