INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS 145570 May 24, 1990 Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: Time Magazine's profile fortunately provided a glimpse into the really important things: the respect for your parents; your close relationship with your wife and children and the importance of softball. I frequently visit Washington on behalf of the Institute for Public Affairs of the Orthodox Union, which represents some one thousand synagogues across America, and hope that we could arrange a mutually convenient time to meet. I'll bring my glove and a "clincher." By the way, "Rapfogel" comes from "raub-foigel," which is, you guessed it, a sparrow. Every good wish. Sincerely, 00001 William E.

The Penn in Washington Program is designed to acquaint Penn students with the political and cultural life of Washington by providing them with a series of informal discussion sessions with Washington leaders. In the past, these leaders have come from all branches of government, as well as major cultural and communications centers. This year we hope to have the privilege of including you among those participating in our program. Our sessions consist of informal comments followed by a question and answer period. Each is usually held in the individual's office and is attended by approximately 15 students. We would be grateful if you would hold one of these sessions this summer in your office, between June 18 and August 3. The precise time, date, location and topic can be set according to your preference and convenience. I am asking Deb Hamilton, our program coordinator, to contact your office to see if a session can be arranged. If you wish to respond before Ms. Hamilton speaks with you, please call Deborah Gould, Assistant Director of the Career Planning and Placement Service, at (215) 898-4827, or write her at the above address. Should your schedule not permit your participation in this year's program, we would appreciate it if you would be able to suggest an appropriate colleague or staff member who might be willing to speak with our students. Thank you very much for your consideration.

The managers of the $135 million Center, a 30-story office tower, hotel and retail complex in the center of Harlem, are poised for groundbreaking in April 1991 and completion in two years. Our management team has pulled together most of the necessary components to complete the project: in the private sector, Millstein and Saady, the international developers, have signed on to build the project with a $50 million commitment, the State of New York, whose Governor Cuomo enthusiastically supports the project, has signed on to an investment of $50 million through the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Elsewhere in the state, the project also has attracted the strong backing of Vincent Tese, Commissioner of the State Department of Economic Development and Chairman of the Urban Development Corporation, with whom we are working to attract rentals by state agencies concerned with international trade. Of course, one of our most hearty boosters is Mayor David Dinkins, whose office is also cooperating with us to attract city government lessors. Several federal agencies, notably Customs and the INS, have expressed a serious desire to locate offices in the Center, and the Congress has passed legislation authorizing the lease by GSA of 200,000 square feet of space. Customs Commissioner Carol Hallett and Regional Commissioner Edward Kwas have worked very closely with us, of course. The Trade Center has also enjoyed visits by several prominent officials of your Administration, including Agriculture Secretary Clayton Yeutter and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Jack Kemp. Trade Ambassador Carla Hills has also expressed her support of the project, as has Commerce Secretary Mosbacher. Our leasing team is in various stages of contact with the appropriate agencies of most of these departments for the purpose of soliciting their interest in occupying space in the Trade Center. We will aggressively continue this process. What is needed now is the clear commitment of your office to this project so that we can work in concert with Bill Diamond, GSA's Regional Administrator in New York, to work out GSA's lease arrangements with the Trade Center. At this crucial point in development of the project, a GSA commitment to lease the 200,000 square feet would trigger all other necessary components, including lease arrangements with the various interested federal agencies. In your April 4 note to me, you identified Bill Diamond as your point man on this project. He certainly has been helpful in supporting our access to various federal agencies who have subsequently expressed their interest in the Center. We look forward to working with him and GSA now to take this project into its final phase. John, with the scheduled start of construction bearing down on us, there is obviously some urgency to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon and to benefitting from your advice and direction. Let me assure you, this project will not only be a boon to the interest of trade development with the Third World, it will be a showcase that will bring great credit to your Administration. the CHARLES B RANGEL Sincerely Member of Congress CBR/cm CC: Richard Darman, Office of Management and Budget Hon.

You might also find it interesting that we had to go outside the United States to find someone that might be interested in doing a possible joint venture in the Soviet Union. Although I (personally) only contacted three companies, BOSMOSCO contacted a far larger number, many of which were 'mega-companies', and the answers were all the same; a resounding NO! No in the U.S. but great interest in Japan, Finland and the 'new' Germany. It's interesting to note that American companies thought that we were too good to be true and, for all practical purposes, dismissed it out of hand....yet Japanese, Soviet, British and German companies all thought of it as "just another example of fine American thinking" and accepted it at face value. In fact, they are pursuing us. I am afraid that America's companies, who sit back and condemn the foreign ones for 'invading' the United States, will totally miss the boat on the in the Soviet Union, one of the greatest new markets to open in our lifetime! Or, of even greater importance, THE opportunity to show the leaders and citizens of the Soviet Union just how well free enterprise works....and who managed to make it possible! As I would still like to make it an 'all American deal', I would be most interested in hearing any suggestions you may have! You're bringing much credit to New Hampshire; please keep up the good work!

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: My recent letter sent to President Bush wherein I requested a meeting between the President and VFW Commander-in-Chief Wally Hogan has been answered by Joseph W. Hagin II. Attached is a copy of his "form letter" response. Since Commander Hogan's term of office terminates in mid-August, it seems obvious that he will not be afforded the courtesy that every VFW Commander-in-Chief has been afforded during my affiliation with the VFW, i.e., a meeting with the President of the United States. I have so informed Commander-in-Chief Hogan. Mr. Sununu, I would be less than honest if I did not express my personal disappointment, as well as the extreme displeasure of the entire VFW, over this unexpected turn of events. As the VFW Commander-in-Chief during the 1988 Presidential campaign, I urged the VFW-PAC to endorse then Vice President Bush for the Office of President of the United States. They did SO. As you may recall, this endorsement was made at a time when then Vice President Bush was at least ten points behind Governor Dukakis in all major polls. To my knowledge we were the first (and indeed, the only) major veterans' organization to publicly endorse President Bush for election to the office he now holds. Needless to say, all 2.2 million VFW members did not agree with the VFW-PAC endorsement. Nevertheless we got involved--politically--and at a critical and important time. Both I, as VFW Commander-in-Chief and Wally Hogan, then serving as our Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief traveled extensively throughout the country during the campaign days. We were naturally asked to discuss and to justify our VFW-PAC endorsement. We were happy to do so because of our belief that political involvement was necessary and that such action was in the best interest of our country and her veterans. We were both well aware of Mr. Bush's reputation as a man who remembers and treasures his friends. Never did I suspect that individual efforts would so quickly be forgotten or that our organization would simply be ignored. WASHINGTON OFFICE VFW MEMORIAL BUILDING 200 MARYLAND AVENUE, N.E. WASHINGTON, D.C. 20002-5799 AREA CODE 202-543-2239 -2- Let me list what I consider to be other important VFW contributions to this Administration. Our 1988 National Convention in Chicago provided then Candidate Bush a major forum immediately after the Republican National Convention and we accorded him an enthusiastic welcome. We next provided a forum for Vice President Quayle and, in my opinion, gave him a certain credibility with the veterans community at a time when the appropriateness of his Indiana National Guard service was called into question. As a Vietnam veteran, I personally wrote and delivered the introductory remarks when Senator Quayle appeared at our Convention. These are the kinds of contributions we in the VFW made when the chips were down. Since the election, the reception we have gotten (both as VFW members and veterans) has been less than satisfactory. As one example, I was forced to raise hell with what seemed like half the White House staff simply to get my letter answered--much less finally get a speaker-- for our annual Washington Conference last March. I have had the opportunity to express these and other concerns over certain policies, decisions, committees, etc. to Secretary Derwinski. Although I do not feel my concerns have been addressed in a meaningful way, he has at least shown the courtesy of listening. I am disheartened by the relationship which has developed between this Administration and the VFW. We deserve better.

Roberts World Headquarters Chairman and Courthouse Plaza Northeast Chief Executive Officer Dayton, Ohio 45463 513-495-3501 May 24, 1990 Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D. C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: I am writing to you regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1990. I am deeply committed to protecting the civil rights of all Americans and in that regard, the Mead Corporation has adopted strong policies to assure that our hiring and employment practices are fair. I have followed the progress of this year's Civil Rights Act and want to express my strong support of the principles which President Bush outlined in last week's Rose Garden ceremony. Legislation should not lead to quotas, either directly or indirectly, in corporate employ- ment practices. Unfortunately, the bill's language of "substantial and demonstrable" relationship to "effective" job performance would raise the spectre of just such quotas. And I believe civil rights would not benefit from legislation which would "encourage litigation at the expense of conciliation, mediation or settlement". Similarly, the bill's provision providing jury trials and punitive and compensa- tory damages would encourage such litigation. The President is right on target on these issues and I hope that you can encourage him to stick to these principles. The legislation as drafted would have a negative impact on employment practices and I want you to know that you have support from responsible American business.

Pat Robertson CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD May 15, 1990 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. Dear John: I happened to notice the President's speech in South Carolina over the weekend calling for expanded private sector initiatives to assist the Eastern nations. Our University--Regent University--has just concluded a seminar in business techniques for prospective Polish entrepreneurs. We had 100 students in attendance and will be awarding 25 scholar- ships this fall for full-time students. The Minister of Education of Poland said that we were the only University to present a workable option for a presence in Poland. In two weeks we are having a similar seminar in Yugoslavia. It is our intention to open a satellite campus of our University in Prague in 1991. In the meantime we are offering 100 full scholarships to students seeking master's degrees in business, communications, education, law and government, and theology from Poland, Hungry, Czechoslovakia, and Romania this fall. Beyond that, I am taking a close friend who owns the produce markets in Boston, Miami and Houston to both Romania and Poland to help them reorganize the distribution system for their agri- cultural products both internally and for export. The Honorable John Sununu May 15, 1990 Page Two After the June elections we will be taking two or three of our FCC attorneys to Czechoslovakia to assist their government in writing communications law. We are working on a number of other private sector initiatives, but I thought these might be of interest to you and the President. With warm personal regards, I remain Vat Sincerely, Pat Robertson Chairman of the Board Chief Executive Officer PR:bj ID# 141015 THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENCE TRACKING WORKSHEET INCOMING DATE RECEIVED: MAY 15, 1990 NAME OF CORRESPONDENT: MR.

Reinbold, Republican and North Dakota Public Service Commissioner RE: Appointment to the F.E.R.C (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) As a state regulator and as a Republican elected official in the great state of North Dakota, I take this opportunity to make a recommendation for an appointment to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. May this letter serve as a very strong recommendation for and on behalf of Mr. Edward L. Flippen as an appointee to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. In my capacity as a state regulator, an elected official and as a former college professor, I am asked by many for references, recommendations and statements of support. I take this responsibility very seriously. Edward L. Flippen has already been interviewed, evaluated and investigated by the proper administration officials for a potential appointment to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. His resume and his credentials speak for themselves and speak very well. Mr. Flippen is an experienced and knowledgable partner with the legal firm of Mays & Valentine in Richmond, Virginia. His record is well documented. His background fits perfectly into the scenario of balance on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. As an individual commissioner, and as a Republican, I strongly recommend the appointment of Mr. Edward L. Flippen to the position of Federal Energy Regulatory Commissioner Very sincerely, Leo M.

Sununu The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20500 Dear John: It was a pleasure seeing you at the Derby and having an opportunity to talk. As you recall, we discussed the Vote America event, and I was surprised upon my return to learn that somehow minds had been changed regarding its scheduling. John, I know the demands on the President's time are tremendous. I simply want you to know how critically important this event is to me personally, and to the work we are doing across the country with Vote America. I will tell you honestly, the program cannot survive without the support generated by being able to honor our participants at the White House. This has always been our one event during the year, and it has become a symbol of the President's strong belief in the program. For years now, I have voluntarily given of my time to this cause, more than any other charitable cause with which I am involved, because I believe it focuses on the most fundamental freedom we have in this country today. In this year, with what seems to be the entire world rushing to emulate America's democratic success, the fact that half the people of America do not vote is a national tragedy. I believe what we are trying to accomplish is important and unique to the future of our country. P.O.

If the President's schedule is such that Spring is impossible, we would gladly accept anything in late June, July, or even August. We just need to know as soon as possible if we can count on something, as we have every year since our inception. Thank you for your consideration. I hope you will call me to discuss this matter if you feel it necessary. As always, I very much appreciate you and your assistance. Sincerely, Joe T M.

REYNOLDS, Chief May 8, 1990 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC Dear Governor Sununu: During my tenure as a Vice President and President of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, I came to know Mr. Hiroshi Hitotsuyanagi, Advisor to the Chairman Emeritus and Representative Director of NEC Corporation, and Archbishop Seiyu Kiriyama, President of Agon-shu, and President of the Nihon Meditation Center. (Background information enclosed.) Mr. Hitotsuyanagi has been instrumental in the development of the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). and has also been an ardent supporter of the International Association of Chiefs of Police as well as law enforcement in general. He most recently, along with Archbishop Kiriyama, President of Agon-shu and President of the Nihon Meditation Center, was instrumental in the establishment of the Japanese American Agon Friendship Foundation for the purpose of providing financial assistance to families of law enforcement officers at all levels of government in the United States who give their lives in connection with official felony investigations. Recently, when I was with Mr. Hitotsuyanagi here in New Hampshire, he expressed his admiration for you and inquired whether or not I knew you. I, of course, acknowledged that I knew you, had supported you, and expressed our usual New Hampshire pride about your accomplishments. Subsequently, I received a call from an aide to Mr. Hitotsuyanagi asking if I would make an effort to arrange for Mr. Hitotsuyanagi and Archbishop Kiriyama to meet with you for a photo session. They will both be in the Washington area for a reception being held on May 15th in honor of the Japanese American Agon Friendship Foundation and Archbishop Kiriyama to which you have been invited. I would therefore like to request on their behalf that if you are able to attend the reception, you grant them the opportunity for a 46 LOCUST STREET, DOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE 03820-3783 (603) 742-4646 rable John H.

As an officer and director of ALEC, I want to further express our gratitude for the excellent rapport which has been established with members of President Bush's administration.

I would ask that you please convey ALEC's gratitude to the President, to Secretary Cheney, Attorney General Thornburgh, to Roger B. Porter and to Debra R. Anderson, for their most informative presentations during the briefing. On a personal note, you and I were seat mates at the committee on which we both served during the GOP National Convention in Dallas. Having had the occasion to work with you at that time, I was most pleased when I learned of your appointment as Chief of Staff. With good wishes, I am, Sincerely William J.

Hemphill for the position of Deputy Solicitor for the Department of the Interior. Mr. Hemphill is most suited for this position because of his realm of knowledge and personal experience with issues directly relating to the Department of the Interior. Mr. Hemphill served as General Counsel of Consolidation Coal Company from 1975 to 1980. Considering that Consolidation Coal is the largest coal company in the United States, Mr. Hemphill was able to seize an assortment of practical knowledge and valuable experience by serving in a management position with them. He was accountable for supervising the internal corporate and legal staff, which included contact with both the private sector and the government. In addition to his management and labor experience, Mr. Hemphill has an ample background in government relations and related associations. His work with lobbying and other political and educational associations was instrumental in obtaining construction of federal legislation to further the advancement of the company he represented. On a personal level, I have known Jim for a number of years and have every confidence in his capabilities. His intelligence, insight, and sense of responsibility enables him to accomplish any task set before him. It is without hesitation that I recommend Mr. James T. Hemphill for Deputy Solicitor. I hope that you will give Mr. Hemphill's application the most serious possible consideration. Thank you in advance. With warm regards, I am Nuk Sincerely, Rahau NICK J.

The purpose of the association is twofold: To create financial support for the future of the camps and to provide children who normally could not afford a camp experience the opportunity to attend camp. We hope to provide camperships for several children each summer for years to come. I would like you to invite you to join the Diocesan Camps Alumni and Development Association. As an influential Catholic and a man whose children have benefitted from Camp Fatima, your acceptance of our invitation would be an honor. In addition, as a tribute to your dedication to the state of New Hampshire and to the Diocesan Camps over the years, we would like to sponsor a child of your choice to attend either Camp Fatima or Bernadette for a two week session on a campership provided by the association. Understandably, this child should reside in New Hampshire and should be chosen on the basis of need. In order to clarify the details of this invitation, we would like you to return the enclosed card along with a contribution to the camps. Also, I need to speak with you or a member of your staff in order to facilitate the process of identifying a child who could benefit from the proposed campership. At your discretion, we will be happy to publicize your involvement in the association to the extent that it benefits public interest. I can be reached at my home in the evenings at (508) 695-4281 or you can contact Gus Planchette, Director of Camping services, at the Diocesan Camps Office. Governor Sununu, I want to thank you for your time and consideration of our invitation. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I regularly see this data published in the Federal Reserve Bulletin. However, I rarely see this information brought to the public's attention. Our government is simply out-of-control! Our leadership should be taken to task for its gross mismanagement of it's citizen's property. This is worse than stealing! What it boils down to, is corrupt confiscation and squandering of private property. I beg you to triple your efforts in your attempts to get this mess under control. Our citizens deserve better than a $2,999,815,000,000.00 deficit! Regardless of the "good" intentions, there is no evidence that the federal government, or any government, can allocate resources effectively. Limited government, protection of personal property, liberty and a free market place are the only ways to insure our freedom and economic prosperity. Regards, Don Rember Donald M.

DANA ROHRABACHER 135316 42D DISTRICT, CALIFORNIA Congress of the United States house of Representatives Mashington, DC 20515 April 19, 1990 The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: Thanks for your note about my letter to the President. I am quite familiar with John Frohnmayer's release that you enclosed and that he circulated to all Members of Congress three weeks ago. It emphatically does not refute my contention that John has refused to say that the types of things NEA has funded will not be funded again. That is because John understands "obscenity" to mean something entirely different than what you, I and the President understand it to mean, when he says that he is "unequivocally opposed to government funding of obscenities." The last paragraph of the release is the tipoff. He says, "Art and obscenity are opposites." In other words, whatever is art cannot be obscenity, and vice versa. John made his personal definition of obscenity clear in another statement he distributed to Congress: "And if a panel finds there is serious artistic intent and quality in a particular piece of work, then by definition that is not going to be obscene." (emphasis added). This definition necessarily excludes everything NEA has ever funded from being "obscene" in John's understanding. Given John's definition, it should come as no surprise that when Senator Nancy Kassebaum asked John whether he would fund the infamous Mapplethorpe retrospective today, he didn't answer the question directly. Instead, he implied that he would fund this sexually graphic subject of a child pornography indictment when he replied, "There are books in there [a library] you may find offensive, but you don't have to check them out or read them. It is a quite different thing to say, however, that those books should not be in a library." And, of course, neither John's release nor anything else he has said addresses the President's stated objections to "blasphemous" art. Even if the NEA chairman were completely committed to stopping federal funding for the works to which the President objects, he simply doesn't have the authority to do so under current law. Nothing in John's release or any other NEA document I have seen contradicts this central point: under current law, the only grounds he has for overturning a peer review panel decision is on the basis of "artistic merit." He has no authority to deny funding to any work for being sexually graphic or blasphemous, or even for containing child pornography, if the work This was the point of our letter to the president Should the NEA Chairman have that authority? I think you can help clear this up by asking John two questions. First, ask him whether there is anything the NEA has ever funded that he, himself, would consider obscene. Second, ask whether he has the authority to refuse federal funding for any work on the grounds of being "blasphemous" or "sacrilegious." I expect you will find the answers quite reyealing.

A special situation has arisen concerning John and he has asked for my assistance in bringing it to your attention. In the spring of 1989, the leadership of Local 14 changed hands. John, who served as the Local's political and government relations director and reported directly to the Local's president, was dismissed by the new leadership. Although there were a number of factors involved, in my judgment, the main reason for John's dismissal after 26 years was his many years of hard work and support for the Republican Party and Republican candidates including George Bush. John is now back operating a crane in the New York area and working only sporadically. The new leadership of Local 14 determines his work schedule. When the changes took place at Local 14, John contacted both me and Mark Rodgers, the campaign's labor advisor, about the possibility of obtaining a position in the new administration. John's information was forwarded by me to the Office of Presidential Personnel and he was targeted for a possible position in the New York regional office of HUD. John's twenty-plus years experience in the building trades working with local, state and federal government, contractors and developers, community and civic organizations makes him an ideal candidate to serve as an assistant to the regional administrator. John met with HUD's White House liaison in the fall of 1989. Then, after more than eight months of patiently waiting, John met in January, 1990 with the newly appointed HUD regional administrator. Since then he has heard nothing. John's situation has become a visable test case for those few Republican activists within organized labor. He has worked tirelessly and effectively for Republicans for decades. His support of President he Republican party in the last national election has clearly se consequences for him. While we cannot immunize all our from such retribution, I would like to think that John's 26 of activism within the party counts for something. Many in both our friends and enemies, are anxious to learn the outcome this matter. I would very much appreciate your personal attention to John's situation. His appointment to such a position within the Regional Office at HUD would be entirely appropriate given his lifetime experience in the building trades. I would be pleased to respond to any questions you might have concerning his situation and am willing to do whatever you recommend to further his chances for appointment to the HUD regional position.

A friend and constituent of mine, Bassam Elters, has recently asked you to offer whatever assistance you could possibly give in helping his brother, Antonios Elters, obtain a Student VISA to study Engineering in the United States. Bassam has worked as an Engineer for Mohave County for the past five years. I have observed Bassam at work and also serve with him in the Knights of Columbus. I have found Bassam to be of excellent character, always concerned with the well being of his family and friends. Bassam holds very high ideals for the importance of education and is dedicated to his profession, recently receiving Professional Registration as a Civil Engineer in the State of Arizona. In hopes that my testimony of Bassam's character and accomplishments can be accepted by you as an indication of the type of individual Antonios is, I wish to offer this letter as a character reference in hopes that you will find it in your heart to provide whatever aid you can give in helping Antonios obtain a Student VISA.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: The Democratic Primary in Pennsylvania is May 15th and either of the candidates running will be a formidable challenger. I am, therefore, forced, once again, to raise a significant amount of money. My campaign committee is planning to hold several small, high-dollar, targeted Washington PAC fundraisers and I would be very grateful if you would do me the honor of being the special guest at one of those events. The date would be at your convenience from June 15th through September 15th, except for those times when the House is in recess: July 1-9 and August 4- September 4. These gatherings would be small; there would be no more than 15 to 30 PAC representatives in attendance. We can schedule a breakfast, lunch or evening reception on Capitol Hill, whichever is most convenient for you. I know your schedule probably would not permit you to stay for the entire event, but I would appreciate it if you could come and mingle a bit, give a brief talk and, perhaps, answer a question or two. With your help, I know we can raise the funds I need to win in this off-year election. I have asked Carla Saunders (202-543-9339) to contact your scheduling office to see if a date can be arranged in your calendar. Please call me if you have any questions. With great appreciation.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: On October 31, 1989, several members of Congress joined in a letter to the President outlining several suggestions regarding the formation of an American Indian Policy for the current Administration. On November 14 receipt of our letter was acknowledged by Frederick D. McClure and we were informed that our suggestions were shared with the President's advisors for their prompt and careful consideration. Subsequently, I received a copy of a document by Lee Atwater entitled "Building a Better America: Accomplishments of the Bush Administration". This document, although impressive, fails to portray any accomplishments with regard to American Indians and Alaska Natives. Both the Nixon and Reagan Administrations issued major Indian policy statements. The Nixon Indian Policy Statement articulates a policy of self-determination for Indians and Indian tribes, and continues to form the basis for legislative and administrative actions which allow Indians and tribes to assume more control over federal programs which impact Indian communities and resources. The policy of self-determination has allowed Indian communities to have a greater impact on the design and administration of federal programs and services in Indian country. The Reagan Indian Policy Statement reaffirmed the policy of self-determination but augmented it with the policy of economic self-sufficiency for Indians and tribes. During the last decade, many tribes took advantage of a combination of federal programs and private sector funds and developed economic enterprises which have improved the quality of life for their own communities as well as the neighboring non- Indian communities. -2- I believe that we should reaffirm and build on these existing policies. Further, I believe that a White House meeting with Indian leaders would assist the President in this endeavor. I appreciate your consideration of these thoughts, and my colleagues and I welcome the chance for further discussion with the White House on these points. Sincerely, John J.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor: This is in response to a question you raised at our meeting on Tuesday evening, March 20, with the National Advisory Committee on Semiconductors. You were concerned that you were unable to get a clear answer on the level of manufacture of TV sets in the United States. I said at the time that this was a complex question. I have pulled together the attached information which, I believe, is correct and comprehensible. The first page is a summary of the situation and the following pages give some backup information. The key to this situation is that where a product is bulky or fragile or both it makes sense to manufacture it close to its market. My colleagues and I very much appreciated the time that you and Dick Darman spent with us on the evening of the 20th. We felt that it was a very productive meeting. There were a number of issues and questions raised at that meeting that we from the National Advisory Committee on Semiconductors were unable to answer at the time. We plan to prepare concise answers to a number of those questions and will transmit them to you as they become available. As an Advisory Committee, we stand ready to help in any way that can strengthen the U.S. semiconductor and electronics industry.

Sununu Chief of Staff March 23, 1990 The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 CC: Admiral James D. Watkins, Secretary, DOE Dr. D. Allan Bromley, White House Science Advisor Dear Dr. Sununu: Re: Nuclear Power Plants/Irradiated Food I wish to commend you and Admiral Watkins for your strong, unwavering pro-nuclear positions regarding the Seabrook and Shoreham nuclear power plants. Please keep up your opposition to the Governors of Massachusetts and New York in this area. The vast, overwhelming body of peer-reviewed, mainstream science supports the use of nuclear power. We strongly urge the adoption of solid, mainstream science in all regulatory matters and governmental policies. Keep up the good work! In the event that you are not familiar with the American Council and its publications on radiation, I am pleased to enclose copies of recent booklets and magazine articles for your review. Irradiated Food I am also writing about the FDA's proposed approval of irradiated poultry and the DOE's program of six demonstration food irradiation units. This proposed approval and the DOE demonstration program have been delayed excessively by a small, very vocal, heavily financed group of persons having dubious credentials and prior associations. Their leader is a New Jersey osteopath who practices "holistic, alternative" medicine and uses much emotion, hyperbole, "toxic terrorism" and pseudoscience in opposing irradiated food. The National Health Federation, the leading group promoting health fraud and nutrition quackery in the U.S., is promoting this osteopath and the opposition to irradiated food. Please see ACSH's enclosed publication The Unhealthy Alliance, which exposes the National Health Federation and three other groups promoting health fraud and nutrition quackery in the U.S. Board of Directors Sidney Shindell, M.D., LL.B.

Sullivan and Mr James Benson to ask them to proceed with publication of the approval of irradiated poultry in the Federal Register as soon as possible. Our contacts in the scientific side of FDA and USDA tell us that the approval announcement reportedly has been sitting in the FDA's Office of Legal Counsel for at least 18 months. This approval was slated for publication in the Federal Register during the last several months of President Reagan's administration. It still is unpublished! Would you please try to break this logjam. This technology was started by MIT's Dean Samuel C. Prescott in 1904 and widely developed by MIT Professors Proctor, Goldblith, and Josephson in the 1943-1970 period. This technology has been successfully adopted in over 25 foreign countries beginning in 1958, and we still do not have it in the U.S.! The U.S. taxpayer has spent $200 million 1990 dollars) to develop this technology. It appears that the U.S. will be one of the last major countries to adopt it. And we wonder why the U.S. is losing its competitiveness! Any assistance you can provide to expedite publication of this approval for irradiated poultry will be greatly appreciated. Edward FRemmers Sincerely, Edward G. Remmers, Sc.D. Vice President PS: I started eating irradiated food 38 years ago as a beginning MIT graduate student and have been a strong proponent of this technology ever since. Once safety and efficacy have been established (which already have been established), it is up to the consumer to determine the rightful place of this technology in a free-market society. PPS - I plan to submit your name for consideration as a future MIT president, but hope you will not be available for another 15 years.

Sununu OFFICE CHECKED Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear John: I sincerely thank you for the encouragement and the assistance you promised with regard to development of the Harlem International Trade Center. The Harlem International Trade Center concept was developed ten years ago and authorized legislatively, but its progress has been slowed by Federal budget restraints. Fortunately, with substantial involvement of the private sector and state support, we have successfully pulled together the necessary financial and developmental infrastructure-- including signing on a major development consortium--to project completion of the trade complex by 1993. The Trade Center will be a major complex of offices, exhibition halls, retail space and a hotel, which by its very nature will be a dynamic hub for stimulation of international business as well as regeneration of the community in which it is located. The offices will house foreign trade missions, U.S. government agencies for trade and related affairs, other offices of city, state and Federal government, as well as private sector businesses. The hotel will provide a convenient residence for foreign and domestic visitors. The international developer, Morris Saady, who operates a similar international trade center in Geneva, has committed $50 million in joining a consortium of local organizations to build the complex, whose construction alone will generate an estimated 1,000 jobs. In my view, the Trade Center meshes perfectly with our nation's thrust to reduce the trade deficit with strong outreach to the international community. With its focus on the developing nations, the Trade Center will be an important economic as well as political component in this nation's dealings overseas. In the Caribbean and Puerto Rico, for example, I foresee the Trade Center playing a valuable role in achievement of our objectives through the Caribbean Basin Initiative. During its ten years of development, the Trade Center, operating out of temporary offices in the Harlem State Office Building, has already brokered more than $50 million of international transactions and hosted over 20 visiting heads of state, all of whom have expressed strong support of our efforts and the national commitment that it represents. Of course, we have received considerable help and promises of participation from Washington. The 100th Congress passed legislation authorizing the rental by Federal agencies of 200,000 square feet of office space (P.L. 100-637). In addition, the Department of Commerce has been quite helpful in assisting us to pull together a number of our trade missions. Several other agencies, including the Small Business Administration, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and especially the Bureau of Customs, are very anxious to have space set aside for occupancy. Throughout this process, Bill Diamond, General Services Administration Regional Administrator, Region I, has been most cooperative and has encouraged our access to Federal agencies which might be interested in occupying space in the Trade Center. Your willingness to thank and to encourage Bill Diamond for his support will go a long way in emphasizing the Administration's support of our efforts in strengthening of trade links with the developing nations. Please thank the President and Mrs. Bush for their hospitality which they so graciously extended Tuesday evening. Card CHARLES B. RANGEL Sincerely Member of Congress CBR/em CC: Hon.

MANAGEMENT. 124929 Rasmussen Communications Management Corporation March 19. 1990 The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington DE 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: You and I met in George Bush, Jr.'s office as the 1988 campaign was winding down. In addition to campaign matters, we also discussed my role as a founder of ESPN, the cable sports network. Later, after you were named to your current position, we briefly exchanged correspondence. In my letters, I expressed my strong support for your appointment and for the President's firmly stated opposition to new taxes and/or tax increases. While it was impossible to even consider supporting the Governor of Massachusetts in 1988, my enthusiasm for the Bush campaign grew only after I carefully read the candidate's lips on the tax issue. Therefore, you can imagine how dismayed I was when I heard the Administration's response to Congressman Rostenkowski's proposal. Especially troubling was the perception that the President believed that Rostenkowski's approach should be supported to divert attention from Senator Moynihan's tax-cut proposal. The Administration could not bc further off base on this issue. You should support the tax cut and attack the Rostenkowski plan. To more clearly express my position. I have Administration in the article, the data he suggested that the American people don't want to "mess around with Social Security." As long as today's retirees and those about to retire are fully protected, the American people will welcome a major overhaul of Social Security. Please do not allow the President to stay on the wrong side of this issue for very long. Keep in mind that the best way. to serve the American people, and to earn a second term, is to keep taxes--all taxes--as low as possible.

As I indicated in our meeting arranged by Wayne Valis, the industry is most appreciative of the cooperative efforts put forth by you and your staff, OMB and EPA in achieving significant improvements to S. 1630. The industry stands ready to assist you in maintaining the integrity of the negotiated amendments to S. 1630 now on the Senate floor and to seek approval of the Nickels-Dole-Heflin amendments on permitting and enforcement. Attached is a letter from API President Red Cavaney which was sent to all members of the Senate conveying this message. Our member companies are also contacting those Senators with whom the industry has a constituent relationship. Again, thank you for the personal time and effort you have devoted to this important legislation, and please let =0 know if we can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Carol L. Raulston Vice President Government Affairs Attachment P.S. Red sends his personal regards and thanks.

John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Governor Sununu: First, let me apologize for attempting to reach you by telephone twice in recent weeks. In retrospect, I have concluded that neither call was essential, and you certainly have better things to do than take calls from me that aren't! So hereafter I have resolved to confine my phone calls to the essential category. This letter is simply to request that, if it is not inconvenient, I be included among those invited to the state dinner for State President de Klerk, if and when he is invited to the United States. I make this request because I have visited South Africa on eight different occasions since 1962, and even written a booklet on the subject of that country, and am regarded as reasonably knowledgeable on the subject by the South Africans themselves. Over the years I have met just about all of their high officials - though oddly enough, not de Klerk. But I am confident that his people would be glad to see me there. If the above request is in any way inconvenient or out of line, just disregard it. Meanwhile, I hope you noted my recent column warning that the liberals are after you. The implication was that you. can count on my help if and when you need it, and that of course remains true - As always, Bill William A.

Sununu OFFICE CHECKED Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear John: I sincerely thank you for the encouragement and the assistance you promised with regard to development of the Harlem International Trade Center. The Harlem International Trade Center concept was developed ten years ago and authorized legislatively, but its progress has been slowed by Federal budget restraints. Fortunately, with substantial involvement of the private sector and state support, we have successfully pulled together the necessary financial and developmental infrastructure-- including signing on a major development consortium-to project completion of the trade complex by 1993. The Trade Center will be a major complex of offices, exhibition halls, retail space and a hotel, which by its very nature will be a dynamic hub for stimulation of international business as well as regeneration of the community in which it is located. The offices will house foreign trade missions, U.S. government agencies for trade and related affairs, other offices of city, state and Federal government, as well as private sector businesses. The hotel will provide a convenient residence for foreign and domestic visitors. The international developer, Morris Saady, who operates a similar international trade center in Geneva, has committed $50 million in joining a consortium of local organizations to build the complex, whose construction alone will generate an estimated 1,000 jobs. In my view, the Trade Center meshes perfectly with our nation's thrust to reduce the trade deficit with strong outreach to the international community. With its focus on the developing nations, the Trade Center will be an important economic as well as political component in this nation's dealings overseas. In the Caribbean and Puerto Rico, for example, I foresee the Trade Center playing a valuable role in the achievement of our objectives through the Caribbean Basin Initiative. During its ten years of development, the Trade Center, operating out of temporary offices in the Harlem State Office Building, has already brokered more than $50 million of international transactions and hosted over 20 visiting heads of state, all of whom have expressed strong support of our efforts and the national commitment that it represents. Of course, we have received considerable help and promises of participation from Washington. The 100th Congress passed legislation authorizing the rental by Federal agencies of 200,000 square feet of office space (P.L. 100-637). In addition, the Department of Commerce has been quite helpful in assisting us to pull together a number of our trade missions. Several other agencies, including the Small Business Administration, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and especially the Bureau of Customs, are very anxious to have space set aside for occupancy. Throughout this process, Bill Diamond, General Services Administration Regional Administrator, Region I, has been most cooperative and has encouraged our access to Federal agencies which might be interested in occupying space in the Trade Center. Your willingness to thank and to encourage Bill Diamond for his support will go a long way to emphasize the Administration's support of our efforts to strengthen trade links with the developing nations. Please let me know if there is anything more we should be doing or if there is someone in the Administration we should be talking with about how best to develop the Trade Center. Please thank the President and Mrs. Bush for their hospitality which they so graciously extended Tuesday evening. Charie CHARLES B. RANGEL Sincerely, Member of Congress CBR/em CC: Hon.
