ORR G. C. STROBEL GOVERNOR -DIRECTOR-STATE ENGINEER February 2, 1990 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington DC 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: Re: Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of the Army concerning the determination of mitigation under the Clean Water Act, Section 404 (b) (1) guidelines. As requested by Secretary of Transportation Samuel K. Skinner, the Nebraska Department of Roads is pleased to comment on the above MOA. This letter clarifies and replaces our January 24 letter to you on the same subject. This is an important issue in Nebraska and while we don't argue, in principle, with the "no net loss of wetlands" goal, we feel that the methodology could be improved. With this in mind, there are two points in the MOA on. which we wish to comment. 1. Section II (B) "This determination shall not be based upon characteristics of the proposed project such as need, societal value, or the nature or investment objectives of the project's sponsor. Comment: The concept of weighing the public benefit and other project impacts in arriving at mitigation strategies is excluded from consideration. We believe that these points should be included. 2. Section III(D): "For projects to be permitted involving mitigation with higher levels of scientific uncertainty, such as some forms of compensatory mitigation, long-term monitoring, reporting, and potential remedial action should be required." Comment: Monitoring should normally be limited to the verification that the wetland hydrology is present and that wetland vegetation takes hold. Natural wetlands go through succession and man-made wetlands should be expected to go through the same. Care should be taken to avoid the over-use of monitoring. Recently, Governor Orr corresponded with President Bush and it is her position that the MOA should not be further delayed while the technical details and objections of the states are being worked out. This letter should be viewed as consistent with Governor Orr's prior communication and as a statement regarding the substance of the 404 (b) (1) guidelines.

The people of Wolfeboro and the surrounding communities are very excited about the prospect of having you and the President come again to New Hampshire. They still remember when the President gave a rousing speech at the junior high school during the Presidential primaries that showed his strong, positive approach to governing and ultimately led to his victory in New Hampshire. The event will be held at Brewster Academy. If you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me or Mr. John M. O'Connell, Co-Chairman of the event at 603/569-4013.

I want to join the "chorus of approval" on that one! When I came to the Senate, Mike was a Staff Director of the Criminal Law Subcommittee. He was one of those yeoman staffers who quietly -- and in a fair, bi-partisan manner -- assisted in the crafting of some of the major anti-crime legislation which was enacted in the early 1980's. From 1980 - 1983, during those halcyon days of Republican control of the Senate, Mike was Minority Staff Director of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Since 1985, Mike has been in private practice in Washington with the McNair firm. He has had a government relations practice and has represented various business interests in matters pending before Congress, including traditionally conservative clients like those in the insurance and banking industries. I am assured by folks whom I greatly trust that this guy is no "partisan bomb thrower." He has also been a prosecutor and a defense attorney. I believe he would be a fair and balanced member of the Commission and would be a fine choice for an available Democratic slot. Furthermore, with the strong endorsement of the Chairman and the Ranking Member, it would appear that his confirmation would not cause problems.

He is highly respected within the scientific and engineering communities, has a solid background in science, and possesses a good combination of forcefulness and reasonability. As you probably know, he has done a great deal to help bridge the gap between the scientists and engineers without in any way sacrificing his integrity.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President of the United States The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: This is to urge your most careful consideration of John Noah Schenendorf for a White House internship this summer. He is a fine young Republican of great ability and with a keen interest in serving this Administration, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to you. Noah served on my staff last summer, and I was most impressed with his intelligence, enthusiasm and overall job performance. He very effectively assisted me with constituent casework, researched legislative issues, met personally with constituents, represented me at hearings and briefed me on the same. His interest in our party and in government generally is understandable given the fact that his father is Jack Schenendorf, our very able Republican Chief Counsel and Staff Director of the Public Works and Transportation Committee. Currently Noah is in his junior year at Hamilton College, where he is compiling an outstanding academic record while majoring in mathematics and minoring in political science. He also tutors calculus students individually and in groups. Three years ago, he was awarded the George Washington University School of Engineering Applied Science Engineering Medal for excellence in the study of mathematics and science.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: I have been asked by Jeffrey DeBoer, Chief Legislative Counsel of the National Association of Industrial and Office Parks, to forward to you the enclosed Comments on the Memorandum of Agreement Concerning the Wetlands Permit Process ("MOA"). These comments include suggested modifications to the MOA. Please let us know if. you need any more information or have any questions with respect to our comments. Sincerely, All Declay Robert E. Steinberg RES:kjb Enclosure CC: Jeffrey D. DeBoer S/105 COMMENTS ON THE MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT CONCERNING THE WETLANDS PERMIT PROCESS THE MOA, AS WRITTEN AND ADOPTED, IS BAD PUBLIC POLICY AND ILLEGAL 1. The MOA is bad public policy because it will require the Corps to reject permit applications for projects which serve critical needs of local communities and provide substantial benefits in terms of expanding our wetlands resources. As written, the MOA will prohibit construction of badly needed roads, housing, and other facilities, as well as eliminate jobs, simply because wetlands permit review must focus only on whether there is a practicable alternative nonwetland site (as the term is ambiguously defined, but often broadly applied). The nonwetland site may provide few socio-economic benefits while construction on the wetlands site may be absolutely essential to a local community, and the wetlands may be nonfunctional or of little value; yet, the sequenced decisionmaking model could require permit denial in such circumstances. As written, the MOA eliminates or severely impairs a "market" approach to expand our wetlands resources and achieve "no net loss." Given the great importance of replacing the enormous amount of wetland acreage that has been destroyed (which is widely known, but rarely stated, to be due largely to agricultural activities), we cannot rely primarily on governmental funds to buy and restore wetlands. The private sector must do its share, and the wetlands permit process should contain incentives for developers to enhance our nation's wetlands and help expand our wetlands resources. The MOA removes the incentives contained in the current permit process to promote private sector participation in achieving the "no net loss" goal. 2. The MOA is illegal. As has been described in detail in a legal memorandum provided by us to a number of key governmental officials, the MOA violates current wetlands permit regulations, notice and comment rulemaking requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act, and other established principles of administrative law. Indeed, the Section 404 (b) (1) Guidelines, issued by the EPA and Corps, specifically provide that "[n]o modification of the basic application, meaning, or intent of the Guidelines will be made without rulemaking by the Administrator under the Administrative Procedure Act." 40 C.F.R. § 230.10(d). Adoption and implementation of the MOA on January 31, 1990, without rulemaking, clearly violates this provision. A PIECEMEAL AND SECRETIVE APPROACH TO ADDRESS PROBLEMS IN THE WETLANDS PERMIT PROCESS IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE AND INAPPROPRIATE 1. The wetlands permit process had long been recognized as perhaps the most convoluted and uncertain of any federal program. In a policy paper which will be available shortly, we have identified some of the key changes which should be made in the wetlands permit program. Rather than acting precipitously, the government should conduct a review of all problems in the wetlands permit process, and at least attempt to find a comprehensive and appropriate solution to them. 2. We do not understand why the MOA, which may have such a radical impact on wetlands permit decisionmaking, is being issued before the President's Domestic Policy Council Interagency Wetlands Task Force has had the opportunity to consider changes to the wetlands permit process. 3. By affording interested members of the public an opportunity to provide factual information and data on the adverse environmental and economic impacts which will result from the MOA as presently written, the government is more apt to find more effective solutions to the serious problems of curbing the losses of wetlands acreage and establishing a more fair and rational permit system. AT A MINIMUM, THE MOA SHOULD BE MODIFIED so THAT IT CONTAINS WORKABLE AND FAIR STANDARDS FOR WETLANDS PERMIT DECISIONMAKING 1. The so-called "sequencing" approach, in which analysis of practicable nonwetland alternative sites becomes the initial and (in most cases) dispositive factor of whether a project may go forward, should not be applied in all circumstances.. When a permit applicant can show that a project will provide significant socio-economic benefits or offers to provide substantial environmental benefits by virtue of compensatory mitigation (and monitoring measures to ensure that mitigation measures - 2 - work), the Corps should not be required to deny a permit simply because the sequenced decisionmaking model ignores these factors and dictates this result. Rather, in circumstances in which a permit applicant can make such a showing, the Corps of Engineers should be required to consider socio-economic benefits to a local community, off-setting environmental benefits of the project, and other public interest considerations (including the value and function of the wetlands area) in determining whether a wetlands permit should issue. 2. The Corps should be given sole authority to make the purely economic determination of whether an alternative nonwetland site is available and feasible given project purposes, and the Corps should be required to make this economic determination at the outset of the permit process within certain time constraints. The Corps has the expertise to evaluate economic issues, and EPA could then assist the Corps in assessing the comparative environmental impacts at the proposed site and practicable alternatives to it. 3. The analysis of the availability of nonwetland alternative sites should be determined as of the time the applicant submitted its first application for a permit or variance in connection with a proposed project, rather than at the time of market entry. The so-called "market entry" approach, in which all potential nonwetland sites when the developer entered the market are considered available, creates a nebulous and unworkable standard. 4. The Corps should be required to make wetlands permit decisions in a timely manner, preferably within 120 days after receipt of a standard permit application. The EPA should be required to publish a notice of objection to the issuance of a permit at least 30 days prior to the Corps' deadline. 5. The MOA should contain a mechanism to resolve disputes between the Corps and EPA with respect to wetlands permit issues.

ORR G. C. STROBEL GOVERNOR DIRECTOR-STATE ENGINEER January 24, 1990 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House: Washington DC 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: Re: Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of the Army concerning the determination of mitigation under the Clean Water Act, Section 404 (b) (1) guidelines. As requested by Secretary of Transportation Samuel K. Skinner, the Nebraska Department of Roads is pleased to comment on the above MOA. This is an important issue in Nebraska and while we don't argue, in principle, with the "no net loss of wetlands" goal, we feel that the methodology being proposed appears less than desirable and not in the best interest of our aggressive state highway program. With this in mind, there are three main points in the MOA on which we wish to comment. 1. Section II (B): "This determination shall not be based upon characteristics of the proposed project such as need, societal value, or the nature or investment objectives of the project's sponsor." Comment: The concept of weighing the public benefit and other project impacts in arriving at mitigation strategies is totally excluded from consideration. We believe that this is unreasonable and unrealistic. 2. Section III (C): "Other reviews, such as NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act of 1969) and the Corps' (of Engineers) public interest review, cannot be used to nullify any guidelines requirements or to justify less rigorous guidelines evaluations." Comment: This contradicts the Interagency Task Force work concerning the need to integrate the Section 404 and NEPA processes. If the NEPA review of alternatives is to be thrown out under Section 404, and the only consideration is relative to wetlands impacts, then a sham is being made of the NEPA process. 3. Section III(D): "For projects to be permitted involving mitigation with higher levels of scientific uncertainty, such as some forms of compensatory mitigation, long-term monitoring, reporting, and potential remedial action should be required. Comment: Monitoring should be adequate to verify that the wetland hydrology is present and that wetland vegetation takes hold. Natural wetlands go through succession and man-made wetlands should be expected to go through the same. Over-use of monitoring could result in years of fruitless data gathering and commitments to actively manage mitigation areas, whereas they should be allowed to go through natural succession.

LEIGHTON STEWARD Coalition CHAIRMAN January 26, 1990 Governor John H. Sununu The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: The National Wetlands Coalition was established early last fall to work constructively with the Administration and the Congress to implement the recommendations of the National Wetlands Policy Forum, including the goal of "no overall net loss of wetlands". The Coalition consists of public and private entities, including landowners, municipalities and Native American groups, that pursue diverse business and governmental activities, some of which occur in wetlands areas. A copy of our Coalition presentation document is attached. We have reviewed the Memorandum of Agreement between the Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency regarding wetlands mitigation policy in light of the overall effort to develop a national wetlands policy. We believe that several realities must be addressed in the development of that policy. First, the national goal of "no overall net loss" of wetlands must bei defined, including the scope of lands and activities to be encompassed by that goal. Second, with 74% of the nation's existing wetlands being privately owned, the national wetlands policy must be developed with the active participation of the private sector. Third, because the ownership of wetlands is so highly concentrated in the private sector and only a small portion of wetlands activities are currently subject to regulation, national wetlands policy cannot rely primarily upon regulatory restriction on wetlands use. Non-regulatory means, such as incentives for conservation, restoration and enhancement activities must be critical elements of the national program. Fourth, because many jurisdictional wetlands areas in our nation exist in the very areas where large portions of our population live and work, any land use regulatory aspects of the national wetlands policy must be constructed carefully to avoid unintended and unnecessary barriers to economic growth and the development of our nation's infrastructure needs. The National Wetlands Coalition supports the President's wetlands conservation objectives, and believes that the InterAgency Task Force can develop a creative policy that properly balances the objectives of wetlands protection and continued national economic prosperity. We are concerned that the Memorandum of Agreement contains provisions that may actually hinder the achievement of the President's wetlands goal and may unnecessarily 1050 THOMAS JEFFERSON STREET. N.W. 6TH FLOOR WASHINGTON, D.C. 20007 (202) 298-1879 -2- impede both economic growth and the development of services that are necessary for our growing population. The attached comments on the MOA set forth our observations in this regard more fully. We respectfully request that the Memorandum of Agreement be withdrawn and made part of the InterAgency Task Force effort to develop overall national wetlands policy. We request further that the InterAgency Task Force immediately commence the process of obtaining public comment and participation in the development of the national wetlands plan, including the issues of wetlands mitigation policy and wetlands use regulation. One mechanism that might be particularly useful in this process would be a series of regional hearings by the InterAgency Task Force that could help to educate both the public and the Task Force on this subject and identify various regional approaches to wetlands protection. Even if the judgment is made that the Memorandum of Agreement should become effective in the near term, we encourage the Task Force to begin a public dialogue on wetlands policy that would include the issues addressed in the Memorandum of Agreement and regional public hearings. Certain activities of both the private and public sector of our nation have been identified as part of the wetlands problem. Thus, the private sector and those portions of the public sector engaged in activities in wetlands must become part of the solution if the President's goal is to be achieved. The National Wetlands Coalition would welcome the opportunity to participate actively and constructively in the process of developing our national wetlands plan. Sincerely, Leighter Steward H.

Wilkes. Today I met with Minority Leader Bob Michel and Minority Whip Newt Gingrich. Frustration was expressed over the secrecy surrounding the proposed civil rights legislation. We will be sending a letter to Ralph Neas of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights to express our disappointment over being unable to provide bipartisan input into the proposed legislation and to invite him to sit down with us and give his views on possible legislative solutions. In addition, I stressed the need for coordinated efforts by the leadership in responding to the proposed civil rights legislation. We also discussed the possibilities of proposing alternative "empowerment" legislation and other legislative solutions. At this point, I would welcome your further input and look forward to hearing the Administration's views. In addition to the issues that we discussed at our earlier meeting, it appears that the Freedom of Choice Act, H.R. 3700 which would codify Roe V. Wade in a federal statute will be added to the Subcommittee's agenda (see enclosed article). Sincerely F. JAMES SENSENBRENNER, JR.

I am writing to invite you to be a keynote luncheon speaker at the annual Conference of the Asosciation for Investment Management and Research (AIMR) on either Monday, May 21 or Tuesday, May 22, in New York City. The audience would be somewhere between 1,000-2,000 people, representing a cross section of money-managers and security analysts from across the U.S. (with a sprinkling of foreign participants). Press would be present. This audience, in my view, would represent an influential cross section of the financial community. We would, of course, leave the subject up to you. In my view, either an update on the Administration (general) or a specific topic aimed at financial markets would be appropriate. The theme of the Conference is "Building and Preserving Capital in the 1990s" -- which leaves a lot of leeway for almost any topic that you find of interest at that time. Most important, for us, would be getting exposure to you and your thinking. I am enclosing a copy of the preliminary program for the information of you and your staff. You will note details are as follows: Date: Monday, May 21 or Tuesday, May 22 Time: 12:30-2:15PM Place: Waldorf Astoria, New York city I look forward to a favorable response. Sincerely, Wally P.

It took a long time for NEWSWEEK to admit its error, didn't it? The only reason this matters any more is that I want you and the President to know that I loyally supported him on this issue which split conservatives. When a group of conservatives supporting the President on this issue were invited to the White House, I was not included -- presumably because the persons making up the list in the White House were misled by the press into pigeon-holing me in the wrong slot. Just wanted you to know. With all best wishes, Faithfully, P.S. I watched all the weekend news/talk programs this past weekend, and they have gone into orbit about Moynthan's Social Security proposal. They see this as a way of making it look like the President is against wage-earners. I believe that an aggres- sive move by the President for a generous Child Tax Credit (in line with my 4-page letter of January 16) would be the answer to: (1) Moynihan, (2) ABC/Hawkins/Downey, (3) the "peace dividend," and (4) minimum wage increases.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu, I am writing to express my concern regarding the direction in which the Federal Regulatory Agencies are proceeding in wetland protection. The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department is acknowledged nationally as a leader in the protection of the environment. The Department has' received this reputation while achieving its primary goal of providing an excellent transpor- tation system for the citizens of Arkansas. Strict adherence to the Memorandum of Agreement between the Department of the Army and the Environmental Protection Agency concerning mitigation could have a negative effect on protection of the environment, including wetlands. Had this Memorandum been in effect in 1979, the Department would not have acquired 175 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands in conjunction with the construction of U.S. 67 and would not have conducted a ten year study of the effects of highway fill on bottomland hard- woods. This monitoring program, a condition of the 404 permit, will provide ten years of data and is expected to be the major baseline research investigation on bottomland hardwoods wetlands in the nation. Another project of significant environmental consequence and benefit which would have been affected by the proposed MOA is the Bayou Bartholomew Expressway in Jefferson County. This project resulted in the destruction of 26 acres of natural wetlands but through consultation and cooperation with the resources and regulating agencies, approximately 100 acres of wetlands will be created and enhanced and 158 acres of existing bottomlands hardwood/wetlands will be purchased. The mitigation plan to lessen the wetland and flooding impacts made the selected alternative acceptable.

It is my understanding that the Administration, while admitting that Red #3 poses absolutely no health problem, intends to delist the color in an attempt to "pressure Congress to repeal Delaney. " As a Member of Congress long involved in that very effort, let me assure you the effect would be just the opposite. By reason of demographics, or for some other reason, it just so happens that nearly all of those Members who would be politically damaged by a delisting of Red #3 are also those who are already supportive of Delaney changes. By delisting the dye now, you don't win a single vote in favor of Delaney changes, but you just might lose a few. Several Republicans in the Senate and House have expressed an interest in meeting with you in the next day or two to discuss this matter further. If you could accomodate such a meeting it would be greatly appreciated. With best regards, I am Yours for a free society.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President Office of the Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: I am writing in regard to the upcoming decision to be made on the listing of the coloring FD&C Red No. 3. It is my understanding that the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, Louis W. Sullivan, M.D., may decide to discontinue the provisionally listed uses of FD&C Red No. 3 coloring in drugs and cosmetics. I am alarmed that this action will have far reaching implications for the agricultural community, because this coloring is used in the processing of a number of products, particularly canned fruit. Thus, the loss of this coloring could be extremely detrimental for cherry, peach, pear, grape, and pineapple growers. Add to this recent events such as the Alar controversy in apples, tampered Chilean grapes, as well as other food safety issues, and it becomes increasingly apparent that farmers are under growing pressure which unfairly impacts their livelihood. It is for these reasons that I am urging you to extend the provisional listing of FD&C Red No. 3. This will ensure that the public will remain confident in the already proven safe use of this product. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and best regards. Sincerely, NORMAN om D.

(See FAXWIRE attached) We support OMB and you and we can and will summon to your presence world state of the art experts at a moment's notice.
