Dear Mr. Sununu:
Fox/WTTG TV would like to extend an invitation to you to
appear on our new morning news program. "Fox Morning
News" will premiere on June 25th, airing weekdays from
6:30am to 9:00am. The program will have a harder
journalistic edge and more in-depth approach than the
national morning shows. "Fox Morning News" is intended,
in part, to appeal to Washington's leaders and news
makers. The program will offer Washingtonians the
sophistication and scope of knowledge they need to start
their day.
During the first two weeks, June 25th through July 6th, we
will focus on Washington's most important decision makers.
A live appearance by you would be an essential part of
that agenda. The discussion could be wide-ranging, from
specific policy issues to a description of a typical day
in the life of the Chief of Staff. The idea is not just
to talk about specific controversial issues, but to give
our viewers an opportunity to get to know you.
We will be happy to schedule an appearance for any morning
between June 25th and July 6th. Any location that is
convenient for you is convenient for us.
We look forward to working with you. Please feel free to
call Steve Borden at 895-3130 or editorial producer Chip
Reid at 895-3132 if you have any questions.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

JOHN H. SUNUNU
Chief of Staff
The White House
Washington, D. C. 20500
Dear Mr. Sununu:
Thank you for taking time to look over the "Cammax Engine" report sent
to you by Lucille Lagasse. I appreciate the extra time you have taken to
share the report with others in the White House.
A healthy economy is the most prudent way to pay the environmental
bills. I believe the "Environmental Engine" made in America, with worldwide
proprietary rights "held" in America, can play an important role to insure
continued U.S. economic health and growth.
As you know positive economic growth can be accomplished if higher
disposable income "and" increased state and federal tax revenues could
occur at the same time. Yet, that is a difficult combination to find. Growth
unu
May 25 1990
pg. 2
would also be stimulated if a simultaneous increase in exports developed.
Can these things be accomplished together? I believe they can.
One other ingredient accelerates economic growth, and is perhaps the
one which is the most needed, a "Positive National Attitude". This all
important component has been eroding for 3 or 4 decades. It is-created in
peacetime from things like Edison's "phonograph" and "electric lamp", the
saga of Henry Ford and the "working-man's automobile" and Charles
Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis". These are things that working people can
comprehend and sit around the dinner table or at the coffee shop and discuss
with American pride. Lately, technology has been far above the level of
daily thought. If the average high school graduate has difficulty pointing
out Washington D.C. on a map of North America, he or she surely isn't talking
detail to Mom and Dad about "Super Computers", "Super Conductors" or "Super
Colliders". Not that these things are not important, quite the opposite. It's
just that working America doesn't talk high tech. There's a "comprehension
gap" and a "pride gap".
I have the details of how to fill these gaps and help to accomplish the
economic growth goals we all need and want. They are outlined in an
executive summary. If you think it is something you would like to consider,
play
25
1990
pg.
3
let me know and I will send you a copy.
I am heartened by recent interest
in this proposal by respected people
around the nation and in Washington.
Support continues to grow for this
effort to develop a "Positive National
Attitude". This "Positive National
Attitude" excitement comes from the "Environmental Engine" an "American
Engine", made only in America, having superior efficiency and emission
quality, and exported around the world.
As a political leader you can appreciate the effects of increased per
capita disposable income, increased state and federal tax revenue and
increased American exports. Having them simultaneously as a result of this
new engine concept would have a positive effect on economic growth.
As an engineer you can appreciate how this can be accomplished with
the ability to independently manipulate small segments of the relationship
of piston position to crank angle. This relationship is key to
thermodynamic, volumetric and mechanical efficiency. The ability to
control these cycle dynamics allow the "Environmental Engine" to have the
potential for "High Efficiency" and "Clean Air". I hope my report sent to you
by Lucille Lagasse has provided a good initial understanding of the invention
sununu
May 25 1990
pg. 4
and its merits. Now that "Clean Air" engine technology is on the table,
implementation is the next step. I believe this concept can help you to
improve economic growth, improve environmental conditions, reduce foreign
oil dependence and inspire the "grass roots" national pride. Your leadership
is needed to take that next step.
On a recent trip to Washington I met with a number of people to ask for
their support. Several Senators have taken an interest in this technology
because of its potential for "Clean Air". The Chief Patent Counsel for
Chrysler Corporation and a senior technical advisor at the Pentagon have the
engine report under review. I have asked each of them to send a letter in
support of continued development of this technology to Mr. George Lewett
and Dr. Richard Bartholomew at the Office of Energy Related Inventions.
I
have been working to obtain a $50,000 grant through this agency. The
solicitation (evaluation #25368) is in the second stage of evaluation and a
final decision will be made in the near term. I would appreciate it very much
if you would write a letter in support of continued development of the
Environmental Engine to Mr. Lewett and Dr. Bartholomew. Their favorable
response would allow Brackett Research to continue development and
publish a technical paper on the engine's thermodynamic and mechanical
relationship. I believe this would lead to further support in favor of
building a well designed prototype with the integrity required for testing at
I. sununu
May 25 1990
pg. 5
the National Combustion Laboratory. These are crucial steps which need to
be accomplished before widespread acceptance and commercialization of
this technology can be realized.
Because of the potential for a positive environmental impact,
continued economic growth and a better sense of national pride, I believe
this effort is in line with "National Interests". Your leadership is needed.
I am encouraged by recent events and look forward to continued
development of the "American Environmental Engine".
Thank you for your courtesy and consideration.
Sincerely,
Douglas C. Brackett

Dear Governor Sununu:
On the occasion of the summit conference between President
George Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, numerous
State legislators and public officials have initiated
letters to the President regarding the human rights
violations and curtailment of democratic freedoms by the
Soviet military authorities in the Nagorno-Karabagh
Autonomous Region and Soviet Armenia.
Many of these letters in their original forms were directly
submitted to the regional affiliates of the Armenian
National Committee of America; others were transmitted to
our regional offices via facsimile. Our arfiliates have
compiled these letters and forwarded them to our national
office in Washington, requesting that they be submitted to
the President.
Enclosed herewith I am forwarding to you the aforesaid
letters. Attached is a list of the legislators and public
officials who have signed the letters. I kindly ask for
your assistance in bringing these letters to the attention
of the President.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The Honorable John H. Sununu
Chief of Staff
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Governor Sununu:
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is holding its
seventeenth Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, July 25-29, 1990,
at the Boston Marriott Copley Place. More than 2,000 ALEC members
and guests are expected to attend, including key legislative leaders
and senior corporate executives. Your participation in our
Presidential and Cabinet Briefing on Friday, April 27 was a major
highlight of our program, and the ALEC membership has been most
laudatory in their comments about your remarks and gracious hospitality.
On behalf of the ALEC Board of Directors and the ALEC membership it
is my honor and pleasure to invite you to participate in our annual
meeting as a keynote speaker on Friday morning at 8:30 a.m., July
27. Governor Sununu, the ALEC team would be very pleased if you
would address the issue of economic development and growth from the
perspective of a former Governor whose state, New Hampshire, was in
the forefront of economic development, and who now serves as the
Chief of Staff to the President of the United States. Following your
address, Members of The America-European Community Association
Chapter of The European Parliament will present "1992- The Europeans
Are Coming: Implications for the U.S
"
Governor, your participation will significantly enhance the success of
our Annual Meeting and ALEC's Action Agenda "Freedom and Free
Enterprise" and most importantly, our state legislators and corporate
members will have a better understanding of America's future role in
the emerging global economy and why America must retain its
competitive edge as Western Europe becomes an integrated economic
superpower.
The American Legislative Exchange Council is this country's largest
individual membership organization serving state legislators, who have
joined together to advance the principles inherent in Jeffersonian
Democracy. Today, ALEC is considered to be the most important
state-oriented public policy organization on Capitol Hill, and is now a
critical action link between state capitals, Congress, and the White
House.

Governor Sununu, I look forward to receiving your reply, and I hope
that your schedule will permit you to participate. If you need or wish
to receive additional information please have your cognizant staff

enclosed a copy of our Annual Meeting brochure. Thank you for your
consideration.

THE FIRST
DAY OF MAY
Dear Governor Sununu:
Amid all of the actions, decisions and climatic events in
the daily calendar of our President, the National Day of Prayer
carries far more influence than perhaps any of us realize. Thank
you for your encouragement to President Bush to observe this day.
The visible involvement of the President is an encouragement to
Governor and Mayor observances around the nation.
Reports are continuing to come in, but so far I can tell you
National Day of Prayer Task Force of
that 7,000 people participated in San Antonio, hundreds of
the National Prayer Committee
gatherings took place in churches, numerous mayor and governor
prayer breakfasts were held, and many gathered at Candlestick
Chairman:
Park in San Francisco.
Mrs. Bill Bright(Vonette)
Co-chairman:
It is difficult to attract the attention of the media for
Mr. Pat Boone
events such as this because, at the present time, prayer is not
considered newsworthy. We hope to hire a media consultant next
National Advisor:
year, who will enabe us to gain higher visibility. The Christian
Dr. Jerry C. Nims
media, magazines, radio, and televsion are very supportive and
Liaisons:
will carry reports of the breakfast in the White House, as well
Rabbi Joshua Habermann
as events of the day nationwide.
Dr. D. James Kennedy
Father John V: O'Connor
The National Day of Prayer is extremely important, in my
opinion, because:

Dear Governor:
I have just returned from five days in Israel, during which I had the opportunity to
engage in intensive conversations, one-on-one, with most of the country's leadership,
including Shamir, Peres, Rabin, Arens, etc. I would like to visit with you and, if you think
it useful, with the President, to discuss my impressions and convey to you my sense of where
opportunities may lie. I will call this afternoon for an appointment directly following the
summit.
In the interim, best wishes for a success this week.
Very truly yours,

Subject: IRON CURTAIN
Dear John:
I thought you'd like to have the enclosed certificate and
momento from one of the good people we represent.
Feller-Neumayer is a manufacturer of International Power
Cord Assemblies with every safety approval in the World as well
as the leader in specialty wire. For example, if you're wearing
any type of metal frame glasses and it's rectangular wire
chances are extremely good it's Neumayer product.
We've enjoyed a relationship with these good people for 7
years. Manfred Schwarzinger, who signed the letter, comes
from a village 3 miles from the Czech border and when he returned
home last Christmas he was allowed to cross the bridge into
Czechoslovakia and cut down some barbed wire fence to hand out
to customers and representatives.
I wanted you to have this token
I'm having all mine
framed for my 11 people at Bell Controls. You do as you see
fit. Undoubtedly, in your position, you probably have a piece of
the Berlin Wall you can now add this piece to your collection.
Kindest regards,
R. J. Bell

P.S. You might want to let President Bush know that I would
like a response to my two letters as to Lithuania
my
family's heritage. Possibly he could find a piece of barbed
wire between the Lithuanian and Soviet Borders and let's call
it a swap!

Dear Governor Sununu:
As you may know, I won the Republican nomination for Texas
Attorney General by beating three opponents in the March 13
primary. Since then, the public opinion surveys show me within four
points of defeating my Democrat opponent, the closest any down-
ballot Republican has ever started a general election in Texas.
With the Republicans on the verge of gaining majority party
status in Texas, the Attorney General takes on added significance.
The Attorney General, as the state's top lawyer, will be
responsible for all litigation arising out of the 1991 legislative
and Congressional redistricting process. There is no doubt that the
liberal Democrats in the Legislature will flagrantly gerrymander
the redistricting plan in an attempt to maintain their tenuous
advantage. Besides the Attorney General's inherent power in
redistricting -- by virtue of his vast discretion in defending and
pursuing legal challenges -- the officeholder also sits on the
powerful five-member Legislative Redistricting Board.
Many other issues of importance to the Bush White House, the
Republican Party and conservative causes in general will come
before the Attorney General. The current Attorney General, Jim
Mattox, is an activist liberal who is leaving the office scandal-
plagued. Mattox has been a constant foe of Governor Clements, and
has hampered economic growth in the state through his anti-business
shenanigans. policies and his expansionist, activist legal and political
I want to be the Attorney General who returns the office to
a legal operation dedicated to providing top-notch legal services
to the state. Under my administration, the Attorney General will
work in concert with our new Governor and the White House to steer
the state down a responsible, conservative path. But Republican
writing you.
victories in Texas don't come easily or cheaply. That is why I am
Not Printed or Mailed at State Expense
It would be a great personal honor and a tremendous boon to
my campaign if you would be the honored guest at a Dallas
fundraising dinner on my behalf. This is a race we can and will
win, but the support of prominent national Republican leaders such
as yourself is essential.
President Bush, our state's favorite son, enjoys phenomenal
popularity in the Lone Star State. A campaign visit by the
President's chief of state would be exciting for all Texans. We
hope you will allow us to roll out the red carpet and give you a
Texas-style welcome.
Your commitment to come to Texas for my campaign will go a
long way toward securing my victory in November. Please give this
request your strong and serious consideration, and I look forward
to receiving your reply soon.
Sincerely,
Buster

On behalf of the New Jersey Republican Governor's Club,
"Committee of 100", I want to thank you for welcoming our group to
Washington last week.
Politically, we face an uphill battle in New Jersey and the
success of our fund-raising efforts largely depends upon the success
of programs such as the Washington, D.C. seminar. Providing our
donors with an "insiders" view to Washington has proved to be a very
significant portion of our program in our nations's capitol.
Again, your role in this year's visit is very much appreciated.
Best wishes,

The Honorable John H. Sununu

Washington DC 20500
Dear
writing in strong support of Myron H. Nordquist
for the position in the Department of the Interior as
Assistant Solicitor.
As I mentioned to you yesterday, Myron has Montana
roots and has long been a supporter of Republican causes.
He has worked for several years in international and natural
resource law. He had served as an attorney for the
Department of State from 1970-1978 and was the Office
Director of the NSC Task Force. He now practices national
and international law here in Washington, D.C., representing
both domestic and foreign clients, in a firm that carries
425 attorneys in eight offices.
I believe that Myron would make a tremendous
contribution to the Department of the Interior. His broad
experience in the private sector and his pragmatic approach
toward public policy problems would be particularly
valuable. Furthermore, his understanding of the legislative
process would ensure a good working relationship with the
Congress.
He has the support of both Congressman Ron Marlenee of
Montana and Congressman Don Young of Alaska and these
gentlemen join me in asking that you give very serious
consideration to Myron as you fill the vacancy in the
Department of the Interior.
With best wishes,
United States Senator

Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. Sununu:
I would like to take an opportunity to update you on the status of La Plaza Internacional Hispana.
Recently there has been a lot of news about our activities and I therefore have enclosed some
additional information about La Plaza for your review.
La Plaza Internacional Hispana is a not for profit organization dedicated to fostering trade
between the U.S. and Latin America. Specifically we are focusing on the biggest of these countries
which is Mexico. Trade as mentioned would be of all types including commercial, cultural,
educational, and political. We, as a organization originally sponsored by the U.S. Hispanic Chamber
of Commerce, have the resource of tapping into the nearly 200 U.S. affiliated Chambers and over
300 Mexican Chambers of Commerce to reach the nearly 85 million consumers in Mexico alone.
This does not include the nearly 1000 Chambers in Latin America with 400 million total consumers.
This tremendous market is within easy access for La Plaza and all those who are using La Plaza as
a bridge to Latin America.
La Plaza in a recent mission to Mexico coordinated 15 U.S. small and large firm representative with
12 Mexican businessmen and 11 representatives from the Mexican Ministry of the federal
government. As a result, a follow up mission was brought to Kansas City and we hosted delegates
from the Mexican Department of Agriculture to investigate a possibility of opening a annex office in
Kansas City to streamline trade procedures.
All in all, La Plaza Internacional Hispana has accomplished a lot with in a three month period and
new opportunities are approaching every day.
I hope that the additional documents that I have provided will offer you insight in your inquiry with
La Plaza Internacional Hispana.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or my assistant, Edward Reyes at 816-531-6363 or
at 816-931-3965.
Thank you for your consideration
thitb Hector Barreto

The Management
Association
of Illinois
Formerly MIMA The Management Association
and The Associated Employers of Illinois
May 18, 1990
The Honorable John H. Sununu
Chief of Staff to the President
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Governor Sununu:
The Management Association of Illinois has a state-wide membership of over 2000
employers engaged in manufacturing, service, warehousing, and retail businesses as well as
several non-profit associations. Many of our members are federal contractors and have
Affirmative Action Plans as required by E.O. 11246. Many more have pro-active employee
relations policies that embrace the goals and objectives of equal employment opportunity.
This Association and our members solidly stand behind the spirit and purpose of existing
equal employment opportunity legislation. These are not at issue.
The Civil Rights Act, 1990 victimizes three groups in order to satisfy the greed of the
plaintiffs' trial bar and has little or nothing to do with employment discrimination reform.
We expect strong White House leadership to oppose the passage of this legislation
(S.2104/H.B.4000). The three groups victimized are (1) employers but particularly small
and medium sized employers, (2) employment discrimination claimants, and (3) the public.
The design of the proposed legislation is to prolong the litigation process by lengthening the
time for filing charges of discrimination and law suits. It imposes on employers virtually
impossible burdens of proof which are placed on employers by non-causal statistical
evidence. The net effect is plaintiffs are not expected to prove discrimination; only the
suspicion of such. The burden then falls on the employer to prove that none of its
employment practices contributes to discrimination.
The burden of the legislation on the employer is the threat of jury trials, compensatory and
punitive damages which have not been available to claimants under Title VII, CRA of 1964
as amended. The extorsive effect of the legislative design of CRA of 1990 upon smaller
employers is obvious. Maybe larger companies can fund the process but not the smaller
companies which make up the overwhelming majority of commercial and not-for-profit
employing organizations. They are the first victims.

The Honorable John H. Sununu
Page Two
The second victims of CRA of 1990 are the claimants. For 25 years their charges have been
resolved through conciliation efforts of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or
similar state agencies. With few exceptions, conciliation has served all interests well.
Victims of discrimination have been made whole and extensive remedial employment
procedures have been effected under court supervision. The CRA will sweep away
conciliation, substituting litigation. The already clogged court system where plaintiffs wait
for jury trials for as long as five to seven years will become totally grid-locked. These
employees cannot wait that long. But with contingent fees driven by the greed of punitive
damages, complainant-employees will be the ones to suffer.
The third victim is the general public and consumers. These are the persons who will pay
the cost of the CRA of 1990 in terms of higher prices for products, services and taxes to pay
for court rooms and an expanded judiciary. Tort reform is already a major issue because
of the adverse economic effects of punitive damages, it is not too smart for Congress to
endorse an expanded role for punitive damages and litigation. Employer-employee relations
need less, not more, adversarial conduct.
By definition, punitive damages are vindictive and the antithesis of the healing, remedial
process of conciliation and, indeed, the very purpose of the CRA of 1964. The CRA of
1990 will undo the successes of the CRA of 1964 and affirmative action under E. O. 11246
with greed driven compensatory and punitive damages and litigation. The only beneficiaries
are members of the plaintiffs' trial bar.

re: Health funding and the budget summit
Dear Mr. Sununu:
As a budget summit conferee, you are positioned to protect
America's long term human needs by insisting on adequate funding
for health [Function 550]. Without appropriate federal support
for nursing education and research, future health care, patient
outcomes and cost effectiveness will be adversely affected.
Neither nurses nor solutions to complex care problems can be
produced quickly or spontaneously. Instead of setting the scene
for possible future scrambling to make up for this year's health
program cuts, you have an opportunity to maintain the vital
federal role in health professions education and health research.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing represents over
410 four year and graduate degree nursing education schools.
Undergraduate first baccalaureate nursing degree enrollments for
1989-90 are almost 22 percent minority students. For these and
other future nurses, as well as graduate programs to produce
researchers and faculty and special projects to tap the
creativity of caregivers, federal support is essential.
Very truly yours,

Dear Governor Sununu:
I am sure you continue to maintain an interest in the currently lively public
affairs process in new Hampshire despite your far more global preoccupations
in Washington.
Accordingly, I am sending you a copy of a recent study we completed for our
Becker Institute members on the public education reform and funding issues in
New Hampshire. I met with Tom Rath last week, who has recently joined the
Becker Institute group, and he agreed these findings would be of interest to
you.
I also briefed Governor Gregg on these materials last week but his reaction
was difficult to interpret since he did not have a great deal to say in
response.
I thought the Time cover piece read pretty positively considering the
circumstances. We will be reviewing the political landscape in New Hampshire
in substantial detail next month and will see to it that you are kept posted.
John Very John F. truly Becker yours

Dear Governor Sununu:
On April 25, 1990, Mr. Don Neese of the Lockheed
Corporation wrote to you requesting that you speak to his
organization's Washington meeting at lunch on Wednesday,
June 27. I am writing in support of his request.
Mr. Neese is in charge of Lockheed's international
operations, and is vigorously committed to broadening the
competitive edge of his company and, of American business in
general, abroad. The focus of the conference will be on
this theme, a theme which President Bush has spoken of often
in recent months.
The conference is not so much a business meeting as a
genuine effort at educating Lockheed personnel and personnel
from companies associated with Lockheed about key foreign
issues as they relate to America's competitive situation in
the world. I believe that your involvement would be
important in energizing and in inspiring those in attendance
with regard to this important challenge.
Mr. Neese, I should add, has always been ready, willing
and able to assist with important Republican causes here in
California, and has assisted me with many GOP campaigns.
Sincerely,

As an engineer, I have always been very happy to see

a congratulatory letter from President Bush, but if such could be arranged, it

If so, the letter should be addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Carl H. Jacobsen, but mailed

interested in a management position that interfaces my busi-
ness and public relations backgrounds.
I greatly appreciated your support for me when I ran for
state representative and was delighted to run into you when
George Bush was campaigning at Stouffer's in Bedford.
Actually I became a regional coordinator for his campaign. I
had not seen you since we both worked at Astro Dynamics
which seems like an eternity ago now. I hope Nancy and all
the kids are fine.
The federal government seems like quite a maze. If you have
any suggestions or can render me any support, it would be
greatly appreciated.
I hope our paths cross again. I may be reached at (617)
275-93245.
Sincerely,
judy Judith A. Barber

Dear Mr. Sununu:
As a former resident of Whitefield, N.H. and current resident of Deerfield,
Massachusetts, I have watched your career with interest over the years. I have
especially admired the high intelligence and zest you bring to all your endeavors.
We (the four partners of The Atlanta Consulting Group) have just written a book called
Managing from the Heart. It's a work of fiction, the story of a tough, cynical manager
who, after a near-death experience, is given a second chance to come back and learn to
use his heart in his dealings with all the people in his life.
Frankly, I do not regard you as someone who would naturally resonate with this
message, but what the hell, what's the use of preaching to the choir all the time?
Anyway, we are presenting you with a first edition copy as a gift. If you like it, and if
you think it's appropriate, we would love to have a brief quote that we could use on the
book jacket in future printings.
Enjoy the book!
From the Heart,

Dear Governor Sununu:
On June 27, the Knight-Ridder Board of Directors will serve as
hosts for a very special dinner in Washington in honor of those
who brought three Pulitzer prizes to our newspapers in 1990.
This brings to 56 the number of Pulitzers earned by Knight-
Ridder newspaper people.
We hope that you and Mrs. Sununu will be available to join our
Knight-Ridder directors, key publishers and officers for this
special occasion, which will include key leaders and their
spouses from Congress, the Executive Branch and the Supreme
Court.
The purpose of this letter is to advise you of our gathering
well in advance so that you can mark your calendar. We are very
hopeful that you will be available to be with us. A formal in-
vitation will be mailed within the next few weeks.
The dinner will be held on the eve of our June Knight-Ridder
Board of Directors meeting, which, for the first time in our
years as a public company, will be held in our nation's capital.
We plan a brief program of personal reports from each of the
journalists who were selected by the Pulitzer jury this year.
Needless to say, we would be honored if you could attend our
dinner that evening. We will be starting with a 6:30 reception
in the Columbus Club in the Union Station, followed by a 7:30
dinner in the East Hall. We look forward to having you with us
on the 27th.
Sincerely,
Whate

Dear Mr. Sununu:
On behalf of the Yale Political Union, I have the honor of inviting you to keynote a student
debate at Yale this fall.
The Political Union, comprised of over 1,700 members, is the largest undergraduate
organization at Yale. Founded over a half century ago by McGeorge and William Bundy in
conjuction with Dean Acheson, the Union serves as a unique forum which enables students to meet
with and debate America's most prominent, interesting and provocative political figures. In 1965,
Senator John Kerry (D-MA), then Union President, expanded the program by inviting leaders of
national stature to either debate students, prominent Yale faculty or other guests, or to give a
keynote address. Since that time, Union guests have included the likes of Ronald Reagan, Jimmy
Carter, George Bush, George McGovern, Geraldine Ferraro, Jesse Jackson, and Molly Yard.
Recently, a cabinet officer described the Union as "the most prominent campus forum for political
ideas in America."
A typical visit to the Union includes dinner at Mory's with the Union executive board, a key-
noted debate on the Union floor, and either a press conference or an informal reception with
students following the meeting. Although the Union does not offer honoraria as a matter of policy,
we will be happy to cover your travel expenses to and from New Haven, as well as provide
lodging should you choose to spend the night at Yale.
If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them. Through August 30, you can
best reach me by phone at (201) 654-7760. After that time, I can be reached at (203) 436-2933. I
sincerely hope that you will be able to join us this fall.

THE HONORABLE JOHN H. SUNUNU
Chief of Staff
Office of the President of the United States
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. Sununu,
Enclosed is a letter that the Chairman of the FBI/UCR Advisory Board sent
to the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in an effort to save the UCR
program from the budget meat axes being wealded by the bureaucrats in Washington,
D.C. Crime statistics, crime information and crime reporting are not the colorful,
gutsy stuff that gains headlines, but it is just the information that helps us do a
better job in law enforcement administration. I am sure those persons within the
beltway will raise the issue that the Bureau of Criminal Justice Statistics
Victimization Survey provides better information of crimes than the UCR. The
difficulty is you are comparing two different instruments.
UCR has emerged over 60-years to provide a wealth of information for the
guidance of law enforcement and the Criminal Justice System throughout the Nation.
It needs to continue.
To discontinue this expenditure in the F.B.I.'s budget would not make sense,
nor would it make any sense to ask the F.B.I. to absorb this expense by reducing
its budget in some other area. If we are going to hold crime in check, and continue
our war on substance abuse, law enforcement requires information to assure sound
administration for the support of the detectives and police officers who are making
the arrests and handling crime and substance abuse problems. As a Chief of a small
City and a small State, the UCR information provides vital statistical information
upon which to justify our budget requirements, and to demonstrate the efficacy
of our policing efforts.
I hope you can support the continued funding of the UCR Program without
reducing some other program within the Federal Bureau of Investigation budget.
UCR is as necessary today as it was 60-years ago.
Respectfully,

Dear Gov. Sununu:
John Heard'
Jimmy Owens
I am writing to express my thanks for the clarifi-
Derek Prince
cation you sent me concerning the funding of the Nation-
John Talcott
al Endowment for the Arts. IFA is thankful that the
Larry Tomczak
administration, and NEA Chairman John Frohnmayer, have
Executive Committee
gone on record as being opposed to funding obscenity
with tax dollars. These issues are in flagrant viola-
BOARD OF REFERENCE
tion of the Bible and they go against the Judeo-
Dr. Ben Armstrong
Christian ethics on which this country was founded.
Senator William Armstrong
Dr. Robert J. Billings
Dr. Bill Bright
However, several other matters concern me and
Rev. Gerald Derstine
thousands of members of IFA who want to support you and
Dr. Richard C. Halverson
President Bush in prayer but are puzzled by recent White
Rev. Jack W. Hayford
House actions. You yourself encouraged us to "be con-
Dr. E.V. Hill
frontational" at a White House briefing some weeks ago,
Rt. Rev. John Howe
SO here goes.
Mrs. Dee Jepsen
Dr. Tim LaHaye
As President of IFA, I was aghast--like other
Mr. Ralph Martin
pro-family leaders--to read that leading homosexual
Mr. E.E. (Ed) McAteer
Mr. M.G. (Pat) Robertson
activists were invited to the White House bill signing
Mrs. Edith Schaeffer
ceremony for the Hate Crimes Statistics Act several
Mr. Paul Weyrich
weeks ago. Never before in U.S. history had practicing
Dr. B.J. Willhite
homosexuals actually been invited as a "minority" group
to the White House for any reason. While I agree that
we all must work to end the evils of discrimination, it
is another thing altogether to give one group official recogni-
tion, credibility and almost a kind of "preference." Especially
when that group is an affront to million's of law-abiding Ameri-
cans-biblically, morally and personally.
Victimization does not warrant an invitation to the White
House for a bill signing ceremony. In fact, the homosexual
community has called this bill signing ceremony "historic," and
is using this event as a means of promulgating and legitimizing
their lifestyle. Again, we are saddened that the White House has
for whatever reason lended its imprimatur to a so-called minority
group morally offensive to pro-family groups like IFA. Where do
you draw the line? Will the Nazis, the Klu Klux Klan, or the
likes of a Louis Farrakhan be the next to grace the White House?

Post Office Box 2639, Reston, Virginia 22090
703/471-0913
Fax 703/471-0745
If not them, then why anti-family gays?
I am also puzzled as to what religious groups were invited
to the signing ceremony? As you are no doubt aware, it has
become quite fashionable to engage in anti-Christian bigotry and
bias. There is an all-out war against Christian images and
beliefs. Whether this is done by producing blasphemous and
biased television shows and movies, or displaying pictures (some
call this art?) of Jesus Christ immersed in urine or by invading
St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York and tossing condoms about and
desecrating the communion elements, few government officials seem
willing to openly and strongly condemn these actions. It is as
if many top officials sworn to uphold the principles of our
founding documents have forgotten what those principles are, or
have chosen to follow new ones, no matter how nebulous or ephem-
eral they may be. We are praying and hoping that the Bush admin-
istration will take a stronger posture demonstrating it intends
to uphold the formative Judeo-Christian ethics in America.
Additionally, you might recall during a meeting several
months ago with evangelical leaders that many Christian and pro-
family organizations are having an increasingly difficult time
mustering the grass-roots to support President Bush's initia-
tives. And when people see President Bush honoring the androgy-
nous pop star Michael Jackson as "Entertainer of the Decade," it
is no wonder they feel this way. The kind of message and role
model this has presented to the teens of America is a sell-out
and set-back to many groups trying to wean teens away from cheap
values, empty show and toward high moral ground and noble values.
I no longer know how to present all of this to our grass-
roots members and readers across America. They are writing and
calling in every day, asking why the Bush administration has done
this or done that. Who advised the President in these decisions,
etc? What do I tell them? Any answers from your end are wel-
come.
The membership of IFA appreciates your strong leadership
and service, and I want you to know that many are praying for you
to have wisdom in these days of dynamic change and unparalleled
opportunity. I am trusting that you, and President Bush, consid-
er this heartfelt petition in upcoming days.
With Sincere Regards,
Gary Bergel

The Honorable John Sununu
Chief of Staff
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20003
Dear Governor Sununu:
I am not opposed to paying more taxes, but neither do I favor rewarding profligacy.
It seems to me that Congress has consistently breached its fiduciary responsibility
to all taxpayers and citizens. Until such time as Congress spends funds entrusted
to it more wisely, equity alone dictates that we have every right to expect them
to do with what they have. Many of our federal programs are counterproductive;
many represent narrow interests and create a breeding ground for fraud and abuse.
Our farm parity program is a fiscal disgrace. Pork barrel attachments to legitimate
spending bills are far too numerous, and the management of Congress and the
government is so bloated that only waste and inefficiency can result.
I don't believe I am an economic Neanderthal, and I have always had reservations
about those who prayed to the supply side as the ultimate solution to our fiscal
problems. Over the years I have favored and proposed the adoption of the line item
veto. However, in absence of same, it appears to me that the President has awesome
power via the existing veto mechanism. He should simply go to the American people,
itemize his specific reasons for vetoing a particular bill and, for emphasis,
indicate its sponsors. In my opinion President Reagan should have vetoed far more
legislation than he did. I am glad to see that President Bush is a little more
active in that area.
There is no question that our government income statement needs fixing. History
has shown that pre-election promises are generally hollow. Unfortunately, many
made after elections, particularly with regard to reducing deficits, also turn
out to be empty.
Addressing the issue of taxes in isolation, even with the best intent, is
symptomatic of a larger problem: reassessing the long term role of government
and the future of this country in a more competitive economic environment. In my
opinion it would be shortsighted and counterproductive to address tax policy changes
without comprehending their effect on our competitive status and our military and
diplomatic commitments.
Lastly, discussing taxes without addressing the issue of Social Security emphasizes
the "hostage" effect our graying population has on this country.

HONORABLE JOHN SUNUNU
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Dear Governor Sununu:
We corresponded previously when you were first assuming your
duties as Chief of Staff. I thank you for your response to my
letter which was forwarded by you to the transition team. Copies
of both letters are enclosed for your convenience.
Now I write to you once again to offer my services.
I will be traveling to Europe soon on a speaking tour in which,
by invitation, I will be addressing various groups in Eastern
Europe about the American way of life.
This came about as a result of my keen interest in history,
political science and particularly the American culture as seen
through the eyes of a lawyer of nearly thirty years' experience.
Following the recent events in Eastern Europe, I prepared a
program which was offered, on my behalf, to leaders of various
groups in the fledgling democracies.
Since our government will be sponsoring a similar
enterprise, ("Citizens Democracy Corps"), I believe I can be of
great help in its organization, administration and execution.
I do not represent a constituency or any special interest group.
My motivation is and has been the compelling desire to participate
in an endeavor which will have historic significance. Through
simple personal communication we can make great progress toward
spreading and perpetuating our values.
I am not a professor. I have not been active in partisan
politics for nearly twenty years. I am an avid student of
western civilization and an advocate of our Constitution who has
faced the practical realities of a businessman, a lawyer and a
husband and father who has raised a family in a complex society.
There is an inevitable temptation to appoint persons with super-
ficial qualifications for an undertaking such as this, but my
qualifications are substantive.
If you think I can be of help, please contact me.
Respectfully
E.H.BR DENNIS BROD

Mr. John H. Sununu

Washington, DC
Dear Mr. Sununu:
I appreciated the opportunity to meet you at the meeting
several weeks ago at the Center for Strategic and International
Studies where you spoke.
As you know, shortly before we met I had testified before
the House and written an Op Ed piece for the New York Times
supporting President Bush's China policy.
In the period ahead, the President and Administration face
another major decision regarding China policy: whether or not to
renew most-favored-nation treatment for China. Attached is a
copy of a letter that I have written to the President stating my
view that it is crucially important, despite possible political
costs, to renew MFN for China. The decision to do 50 will not be
easy, I know, but it will eventually be applauded as an act of
statesmanship.
Sincerely,

IIIIIECOUNCIL
May 9, 1990
The Honorable John Sununu
Chief of Staff
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Governor Sununu:
On behalf of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and its
2,400 plus members, I would like to take this opportunity to express our
most sincere thanks and appreciation for participating in ALEC's Tenth
Annual Presidential and Cabinet Briefing on Friday, April 27, 1990. The
Briefing was most successful.
ALEC members have found the Presidential and Cabinet Briefing to be one
of the most effective forums for the exchange of ideas between state
legislators and Administration leaders. Your participation and informative
briefing made this year's briefing a very memorable occasion for our
members and enhanced significantly the success of our program.
The exchange of information between the Administration and ALEC's national
membership is one of ALEC's major assets and this open dialogue has
contributed immeasurably in making ALEC a major action link between the
state capitols, Congress and the White House.
And, I would be very remiss if I did not acknowledge the support and
assistance provided by the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs;
Deborah Anderson, Mary McClure, Kim Riley and Donna Barron. Their
performance was outstanding. I look forward to working with them in the
months ahead in our continuing pursuit of providing sound and effective
federal-state relations and policies.
With best personal regards, I remain,
Very respectfully,

Dear Governor Sununu:
I would like to invite you to appear on our television
program, ACTION SERIES: Clearing the Air. The program is
a one-hour forum focusing on the proposed revisions to the
Clean Air Act. It will air on May 29, a date that
promises to be a pivotal time in discussions on Capitol
Hill.
As you know, Public Television's WETA-TV is well-watched
among legislators and policy makers here in Washington,
and I feel the program offers you an excellent opportunity
to present the administration's point of view on the
legislation.
The program airs live at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 29, and
lasts one hour. We have also invited representatives from
the Clean Air Working Group, The Sierra Club, and
STAPPA/ALAPCO (State and Territorial Air Pollution Program
Administrators, and Association of Local Air Pollution
Control Officials) to sit on the panel. In addition, we
will encourage members of the studio audience and viewers
at home to participate in the discussion through questions
and phone calls.
We would be honored to have you participate.

Bill Boerum
U.S. Congress
May 4, 1990
The Honorable John Sununu
Chief of Staff to the President
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Governor Sununu:
Here in the Sixth Congressional District, I am engaged in a tough
fight against incumbent Barbara Boxer, a knee-jerk liberal
Democrat. I have the community background to outflank her on the
environment and use other issues to put her on the defensive. I
am a conservative Republican.
However, one issue is a litmus test for the support of Northern
California voters: off-shore drilling. No one can be elected
without being for a ban. Apart from this political reality, I also
recognize the fragile ecosystem in the two tracts off the Northern
California Coast, where a year ago the President suspended
drilling. I do not advocate a ban on both Coasts or even the
California Coast. The North Coast, however, must be protected.
Please recommend to the President that the suspension on drilling
be made permanent. Otherwise, believe me, President Bush will not
be able to establish credibility here as the "Environmental
President." From Monterey, North to the Oregon border, the
President lost all but one county in the 1988 election. That
should not have to happen again, especially with as many as 52
electoral votes at stake next time. Plus, this year, Pete Wilson
and I will both find trouble attempting to maintain reasonable
environmental reputations.
Thank you for your consideration of this tough issue.

Governor John Sununu
Chief of Staff
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Governor Sununu:
I have written to you regarding a possible position
within the Bush Administration. You mentioned that you have
spoken to Ron Kaufman. I have been in frequent contact with
him over the last year. However, nothing has materialized.
I recently was in Washington where I met with two
people in Presidential Personnel and interviewed with White
House liaisons in five departments. I presented my
qualifications and interests to them. After speaking with
them, I feel my chances for a position would be greatly
enhanced if you was to make a specific recommendation for
me.
My current interests include a senior type position at
the White House in Management and Administration with Bonnie
Newman. I feel that my attention for detail and accuracy
along with my business background would be a perfect match
in her area. Another possibility would be a Regional
Administrators position in Boston for the Small Business
Administration or Housing and Urban Development.
Currently, I am working enthusiastically in New
Hampshire. I am Bob Smith's chairperson for Belknap County.
Last Saturday, I lead a well attended family county event
with a ice cream buffet and a clown magic show. In addition
to supporting Bob Smith, I have been appointed to be Bill
Zeliff's town chairperson in Sanbornton.
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you in
advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Jona Burbank

Acton, Maine
May 4, 1990
Dr. John Sununu
Chief of Staff
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Dr. Sununu:
I have observed your political career, from across the river in Maine,
with more than common interest. I well remember the period in the
late sixties when you served as faculty advisor to the lota Tetarton
Chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa at Tufts. I was a member at that time,
although I must admit that my most vivid recollection is the
excruciatingly embarrassing evening when you and your wife arrived
in response to a dinner invitation that our chapter president had
unaccountably failed to communicate to the rest of the Brotherhood.
I am writing now in hope that you can be of assistance to three
small Maine and New Hampshire towns. I am a member of the School
Committee in Acton, Maine. Acton is a town of fewer than 2000
souls, but currently very active in the educational arena. Our School
Volunteer program was recently the recipient of President Bush's
117th "Point of Light" recognition, and we have under construction
an addition which will triple the size of our K-8 school. This was in
response to explosive enrollment growth in the past few years,
growth which will reach the high school level by the middle of the
decade. We currently send our secondary students to Wells, 30 miles
away on the coast, which has expressed reluctance to continue the
arrangement in the face of a projected doubling of Acton students.
For the last eighteen months we have been involved in discussions
with our neighbors to the west, Wakefield and Milton, N. H., relative
to establishing a new high school for the three communities. As you
may be aware, a Maine-New Hampshire Interstate School Compact
exists on the books of both states, having been enacted by the two
legislatures and signed into law in the late 1960's. Unfortunately it
was never submitted to the U.S. Congress for the required
ratification until early this year.
Senator Mitchell and
Representative Snowe (curiously - we're not in her district) have
been extremely supportive. It appears that Senator Rudman,
however, is in receipt of an unknown number of letters in opposition
to the ratification, and his support is essential.
I would like to make two points. First, ratification of the Interstate
Compact in no way commits anyone to any ultimate course of action.
It merely establishes a legal framework for co-operation among the
three communities. Actual establishment of an Intestate School
District is at the pleasure of the voters of the three towns and the
two State Boards of Education. Eventual construction of a high
school would require further action by the voters to bond the
project. Given the long road still ahead, I am sure you appreciate our
need for early congressional action. Second, while actual support
for building a high school is problematic at this time, there has been
enormous support in all three towns for joint action. Wakefield and
Milton have twice voted overwhelmingly to form a New Hampshire
Co-operative School District, first in conjunction with Middleton,
and again between themselves when Middleton withdrew. Acton has
voted unanimously at two town meetings, first to seek approval of
the Interstate Compact, and again to fund its share of the planning
costs. Voters in the newly formed Branch River Co-operative School
District have appropriated funds to continue the planning process.
Perhaps most impressive, Mr. Carl Sieman of Milton has donated an
ideal 80-acre site bordering the state line for the purpose of a
district high school.
At last night's meeting of the Branch River Board, the members
authorized a major campaign of letters and petitions to attempt to
communicate to Senator Rudman the wide support for the
ratification. Unfortunately, the current session of Congress is
slipping away. A delay into next January would add a full year to our
most optimistic timetable for this badly needed project.
I wonder if there is anything you could do to impart to Senator
Rudman the concern and dismay of so many people in Wakefield,
Milton and Acton over this delay. I realize that this falls rather far
outside of your current scope, but I hope to take advantage of your
longstanding commitment to the people of New Hampshire. If I can
provide you with any further information, I am at your service.
Fraternally,
Q=BS

It was good to meet you at the John Carroll

appreciated by many of us who are looking to public
J. William Middendorf
L. A. "Tony" Motley
officials for truth and public commitment to their

private convictions. As you suggested, public

appropriate means to "impose their views" when

those views are principled and directed at "the

common good.'
As you know from our previous
correspondence, I am now working to do what I can
to revitalize the private sectors in the poor,
debt-burdened nations of Latin America, Africa and
Asia. The Debt-for-Development Coalition, with whom
our Foundation, is associated is assisting private,
not-for-profit institutions to utilize the debt
swap mechanism to finance educational, social,
environmental and humanitarian projects in the
"Third World." We have found the Coalition is well
staffed, dedicated and experienced in the banking
and development fields.
Although the media has focused most of the
attention on debt-for-nature swaps, there have been
over $106 million in "development" swaps, including
education, compared to approximately $26 million
in debt-for-nature. These swaps bring the dynamism
of the private sector in this country into close
working relationships with the private sectors in
the developing nations. In the long run, these
linkages will provide the foundations for
development.

The President and his Chief of Staff are
living testimony to the power of education and
commitment to values. As I understand he is
planning a trip to one of the largest debtor
nations, Brazil, later this year I thought that
you may wish to be informed about an initiative
that is about to open up the possibility of major
debt-for-development swaps in Brazil.
The Executive Director of the Debt-for-
Development Coalition, Dr. John Ross, just returned
from a trip to Brazil during which he met with
senior officials of the new Collar Government. This
trip culminated in a press conference given by the
Ministry of Agriculture to announce the agreement
to establish a debt swap program that will link
Brazilian entities with U.S. Universities and other
entities to modernize Brazilian agriculture.
Additional swap programs are of interest to the
President of Brazil to raise the standards of
living in the 100 poorest communities in Brazil and
planning is underway to assist the President in
achieving his goals.
The Coalition has formed an informal group
of prestigious U.S. institutions interested in
joining this effort. ( See attached) This is
definitely an exciting initiative, one which the
President may wish to encourage on his forthcoming
trip. The initiative could become one of the
international "points of light"; it could bring
together the talents of the private sector to
address one of the most pressing environmental
issues of the day, the destruction of the rain
forests in Brazil, in a collaborative linkage with
the largest nation to our South, both in terms of
population and size.
If you find this as interesting as I do and
would like further information, John Ross and I
would be happy to meet with your or members of your
staff prior to the trip of the President to
Brazil.
Sincerely,
Bob

Dear John:
Thanks for your note in reply to my letter on behalf of Stu
Sloame.
In reviewing my file, I see that I referred to an incorrect
title. Perhaps the confusion was due, in part, to fact that it
is unclear to me which of the the Deputy Assistant Secretary
spots (Environment, Health & Natural Resources or Oceans &
Fisheries Affairs) will be filled by a political appointee and
which will be a career civil servant. It would be appreciated if
someone on your staff would clear up this question for me.
Again, thanks for your attention to this matter and for your
consideration of Stu's candidacy

Re: Proposed Presidential Appointment of Maryellen Cabot to
the Board of Directors of the Inter-American Foundation
Dear John:
I write to propose the nomination by the President of
Maryellen Cabot of Boston, Massachusetts to be a member of the
Board of Directors of the Inter-American Foundation.
Maryellen Cabot, whom I have known for many years, is well
qualified for this appointment. She has been involved in Latin
American affairs in a number of significant capacities, has lived
in the area, and speaks fluent Spanish. I enclose a copy of her
resume.
Maryellen and her husband Louis Cabot, formerly CEO of Cabot
Corporation and presently Chairman of The Brookings Institution in
Washington, have long been enthusiastic supporters of George Bush.
Louis contributed substantially in 1979 and 1980 and again in 1987
and 1988 to the President's Primary Campaigns in those years.
Your favorable action on this recommendation will be much
appreciated.
With warm personal regards to you and Nancy,
Sincerely,
Rob

Mr. John Sununu

Dear Mr. Sununu:
On behalf of our members, who operate poultry farms in New
Hampshire and throughout New England, I am writing to request
your opposition to a proposal by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration which would ban gentian violet from use as a mold
inhibitor in poultry feed.
Gentian violet has been shown to prevent the growth of
aflatoxin, the most potent carcinogen known to man, about which
there has been serious concern since the drought-affected corn
crop of 1988 was found in some instances to contain unsafe levels
of this form of mold.
If gentian violet is removed from the market by FDA during
the warm months ahead, considerable amounts of poultry feed will
be found unusable, with resulting economic loss to poultry
farmers. The FDA appears to believe that propionic acid can be
substituted as a mold inhibitor in poultry feed. However actual
experience has shown this not to be the case Only gentian
violet provides adequate insurance against mold growth
The FDA appears to be acting on the basis of theoretical
concerns which are more than countered by recent data reviews by
eminent toxicologists, who find that gentian violet is a very
safe compound.
We specifically ask that the Office of Management and Budget
require that this proposal be considered a major rule change,
requiring (by stature) an in-depth study of economic impact.

conomists estimate that the banning of gentian violet would
ease the production costs of eggs by at least 2 cents/dozen
(ch will result in cost increases of 4-5 cents/dozen to
onsumers and, when combined with similar increases for chicken
and turkey producers and consumers, result in a cost of over- $3006
million to the U.S. economy. FDA calculations at a much lower
level are based on the assumption that there are adequate
substitutes for gentian violet. This assumption is incorrect.
Thank you for your interest in this subject.
Sincerely,
MrMiam A.Padif.

Dear Governor Sununu:
D.C. 20017
(202) 526-8300
Recently I was privileged to be the guest of the
Austrian Government for a tour of that Nation.
The purpose of the trip was to research devotion
Office
to Our Lady of Mariazell, the national patroness
of the
of Austria, who will soon be honored with a chapel
Director
here at The National Shrine of the Immaculate
Conception.
As an official of the United States Government,
and as a committed Catholic, I want you to know
that I was treated with the greatest of kindness
and hospitality by the Austrian Government. The
Federal Chancellor, Dr. Franz Vranitzky, was most
gracious as was Dr. Alois Mock, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs. Both men took time from their
busy schedules to meet with me about the new
Chapel and to discuss the artistic and cultural
exchange which would be a part of that exciting
project.
It is my hope that you might convey to the
appropriate persons in our government how well I
was treated. Too often we hear only complaints;
occasionally it is nice to hear good news as well.
Best wishes to you and to your family!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Michael Browfull

The delegation we would like to bring in to talk with you is
headed by Mr. Yang. Mr. Yang is the Vice President for NORINCO
in charge of North America. Accompanying him will be Mr. Zheng,
Mr. Xu and Madame Ma from his division and myself.
We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you
