John Sununu Chief of Staff THE WHITE HOUSE 1600 Pennsyvania Ave., NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor: In October of 1987 you recognized me as "An Outstanding Volunteer" for service to the State of New Hampshire. But I hardly expect you to recognize. my name today. At the suggestion of my dear friend, Governor Mel Thomson of Orford, I am writing you, again as a volunteer. Enclosed with this is the original Petition from a group of Granite Staters known as "Citizens for a National Day of Prayer and Fasting." I am the group's coordinator. As you can see from the Petition, it respectfully urges the President to declare a National Day of Prayer and Fasting to seek God's will in this mounting crisis of war or peace in the Gulf. We realize that the President called the nation to prayer earlier in the autumn with the focus placed on our armed forces. We believe that this builds upon that - but by no means duplicatesit. Please read the Petition. The President--and our nation-- will be well served by a new declaration, perhaps December 24 or January lst? As the Petition states, "to seek His will there is so little time left." We pray that you will recommend this to the President. All best wishes with lasting thanks. Sincerely, Sinttolla James L.

I look forward to meeting Robert when he comes to campus for our required applicant interview. Your very strong recommendation of him will be carefully considered by the members of the admissions committee. By coincidence, I just completed a recommendation of John Marsh Tyson, an adjunct faculty member here, for the White House Fellows program. John is an outstanding, level-headed, business oriented attorney who would work extemely hard and bring a very practical background in business and law to the program.

Moy (315) 342-4688 ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear John: I know this is early but the New York Congressional Delegation, of which I am Chairman, is planning to have two large and important events during 1991.. As members of Congress and Administration officials will be involved, I would like to inform you of the dates of these events and hopefully nothing will be scheduled at the White House to conflict or require that we change our program. I am sure you can appreciate the fact that these dates were selected a long time ago and it is important that they not be changed. (I hasten to add that one year, the White House scheduled an event for members of the House and Senate at the same time as the New York State Festival. This conflict really wrecked havoc with our New York State Festival.) The two events, which are done on odd numbered years, are as follow: 1. A tour of New York City usually attended by 70 members and their families, will take place from Thursday, May 16 through Sunday May 19. 2. The New York State Festival, which also involves the Senate is usually attended by 300 members, will take place at 6:30 PM, Wednesday, October 9. Again, thank you for keeping in mind these dates as White House/ Congressional events are being planned. With kindest personal regards, Sincerely, Frank PS: Hope you and your wife can arrange your schedules to join us at both events.

As no action has been taken on that recommendation, I am writing to reiterate my support for Taiwan's application. There is a compelling case for Taiwan's membership in GATT. Taiwan is the fifth largest trading partner of the United States and maintains a dominant role in the world economy. Throughout my career in the Senate I have met on numerous occasions with representatives of Taiwan to discuss their political and economic transformation. I am confident that Taiwan has taken sincere and lasting steps to reduce the trade imbalance between our two countries. Undoubtedly such a move will encounter opposition from the People's Republic of China. However, in view of the PRC's unhelpful position at the United Nations last week, I cannot see why the Administration would hesitate to support Taiwan's application. John, there is broad bipartisan support for such a move in Congress. I urge you to support it. With warmest regards, I am Sincerely yours, GJH/tk ONE EAGLE SQUARE 157 MAIN STREET CONCORD, NH 03301 BERLIN, NH 03570 (603) 228-0453 (603) 752-2600 ID# 196554 THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENCE TRACKING WORKSHEET INCOMING DATE RECEIVED: DECEMBER 07, 1990 NAME OF CORRESPONDENT: MR.

Haaland 17325-1486 President (717) 337-6010 December 3, 1990 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Governor Sununu: I am writing to invite you to attend the first presentation of the Lincoln Prize and to ask your advocacy for the College's invitation to President George Bush to present the award. The Lincoln Prize, honoring the best book, film, television series, or other work on the Civil War, is intended to focus the public's attention on the continuing relevance of the Civil War and the nation's pressing need for the type of dedicated leadership exemplified by Abraham Lincoln. The $50,000 award is by far the largest in the field of history and one of the most important. I have invited President Bush to make the initial presentation of the Prize in Washington on or shortly before February 9, 1991; this would be an ideal opportunity for the President to address the continuing relevance of Abraham Lincoln's life and political career to current events -- especially those in the Middle East. We also plan to have a dinner for the Prize winner on Saturday evening, February 9, at Gettysburg College. We would be most honored if you would be able to attend the dinner -- as well' as the proposed Washington event. Please let me know if you will be able to attend, and call me if you need additional information regarding the opportunity which we are offering President Bush. 1 very much appreciate your continuing support of Gettysburg College. Sincerely, Gordon A. Haaland President P.S. Best wishes father halidays. My regards to Namey.

It'll be out at the end of next summer. (Our 199th annual edition, a copy of which I enclose for you, is on newsstands now.) As one of the ways to make next year's milestone edition special, I'm asking you and about a dozen other well-known, well-loved people who also have successfully "endured" (and I mean that in the most positive way!) to answer the five questions I've outlined on the attached form. Please just take a minute or two to fill it out now. Be as serious, humorous, or wacky as you like--or combine serious, humor, and wacky as we have been doing for 200 years. Whatever. Be brief or long, as you wish. Use the back or an extra sheet if you feel the need to expand your answers. So what will we do for you in return? Well, aside from your being part of an historic landmark in American publishing, one that will, I'm certain, be kept by many American families for generations, I'd like to offer all of the following. 1. A special hard-bound, expanded edition of the 1992 Old Farmer's Almanac. AND 2. A can of top-quality New England maple syrup from my sister's farm up in West Glover, Vermont. AND 3. A 45-minute video about The Old Farmer's Almanac, hosted by Willard Scott and featuring Jonathan Winters as well as many of us here in our office in New Hampshire. AND 4. A favor. You name it and I'll try to accommodate whatever your wish might be. (If I can!) So please take a few minutes and have fun with the enclosed five questions. We'd like it back from you right away--or at least by January 15, 1991. Many, many thanks from us all. Club Male Judson D. Hale Hope Governor.

Throughout the year, as part of the Education process, the Fellows meet with guests to explore the issues and problems facing the Nation. The Fellows would like to meet with you in order to benefit from your insights. We would be most grateful if you could take the time to meet with them during January or February. You are aware, no doubt, of the caliber of the outstanding Americans selected by the President to serve as White House Fellows. During their Fellowship year, they serve as special assistant to the Vice President, members of the Cabinet, agency heads and members of the President's principal staff. We look forward to meeting with you soon. I will ask Lynne Walker to contact your office next week or feel free to contact her at 395-4522. Sincerely, Mary Head Marey 1.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: I am writing to seek your assistance in placing Jonathan Raymond in a position with the Bush Administration. Jon has been a member of my staff for the past two years. During that time he has worked as my legislative assistant in the areas of foreign affairs, trade, and drug policy. He is bright, energetic, and an accomplished individual who has developed an expertise in these areas while working under the pressure and crush of a busy legislative agenda. Jon has been a valuable member of my staff. Throughout his tenure, I have been pleased with his effort, efficiency, and the professional manner in which he has managed his responsibilities. I attribute the success we have enjoyed in the area of drug policy to Jon's outstanding capabilities. He is very effective in building coalitions among competing positions and interests, and has a proven ability to find positive solutions. In order to grow professionally and further his interests in international trade, Jon has made the decision to pursue other career opportunities.

Eisenhower. Highlights of the week at Gettysburg included an international symposium on Eisenhower's Presidency, a conference on the important themes contained in Ike's Farewell Address, and a Centennial Ceremony marking the birth of our nation's 34th President. We were sorry that you were unable to join us for the Centennial Dinner on Saturday evening and the Inauguration of the Eisenhower Leadership Prize announced by President Gerald Ford. The Dinner program is enclosed for your information. Contributions received by Gettysburg College on behalf of the Eisenhower Centennial total $258 000 date Surporation of Baltimore, Maryland provided major underwriting, $250,000, for the Eisenhower Leadership Prize. In addition, $108,000 was received from additional corporate sponsorships and through ticket sales from the benefit dinner to endow permanent Eisenhower Scholarships at Gettysburg. The impact of these tributes to Eisenhower will last well beyond the October 1990 Centennial observance -- future generations of students will benefit from this support. The Eisenhower Leadership Prize, to be awarded on October 12, 1991, will recognize the leader who is assuming increasingly influential roles in national or international arenas and is designed to encourage young men and women to emulate Eisenhower's ideals. The College also plans other long-term tributes to Eisenhower, including expansion of the Eisenhower Scholarships and development of a service/leadership program for our undergraduates. Additional information on the Eisenhower Centennial, the Leadership Prize and our long-range plans is enclosed for your review. I have asked Drew Lewis and David Eisenhower to be in touch with you to discuss your ideas and ways in which you might get involved. The Honorable John H. Sununu Page 2 November 29, 1990 As a memento of the event, we are pleased to present to you the official Eisenhower Commemorative Coin. Also, under separate cover, you will receive "The Eisenhower Centennial Celebration: A Retrospective View" -- a photo tribute and review of our week-long program. Again, on behalf of Centennial Co-Chairmen David Eisenhower and Drew Lewis, The Dwight D. Eisenhower Society, and all of the students, faculty and friends of Gettysburg College, I thank you for your interest in the Eisenhower Centennial and I encourage your support and participation in next year's event.

HALL CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD November 26, 1990 Dear John: I am writing to urge that you and the President favorably consider Mr. Ed Quick for the Democratic vacancy on the Postal Rate Commission. We, at Hallmark, are very concerned that vacancies on the Commission be filled with people of high caliber whose interest in and ability to deal with complex postal matters is very keen. Mr. Quick is a person we have known and worked with over many years, and we believe that he has had a distinguished career of public service and would add greatly to the decision-making apparatus at the Postal Rate Commission. He is particularly knowledgeable about the postal service because both of his Senate employees have served on these committees. Thank you for you consideration. Best regards.

A 194196 NO The President's Commission on Executive Exchange THE WHITE HOUSE November 27, 1990 Dear Governor Sununu, We are writing to update you on the progress of your prospective appointment as a member of the President's Commission. By now, Ms. Theresa Michel from White House Presidential Personnel should have contacted you with regard to the completing of appropriate disclosure statements. (If you need additional information to expedite that process, please contact her at 202/456-2973.) The current class, Exchange XXI, has just completed its Retreat and Public Policy Seminar here in Washington. Seven days filled with briefings, in-depth discussions, and Harvard-sponsored case studies introduced all 38 executives (22 from the private sector, 16 from the federal) to the year-ahead. Their next collective gathering will be a one-week seminar at Harvard's Kennedy School in December. We are beginning a review of our selection and placement process for next year. Our goal, and the one for which your leadership will be critical, is to make the PCEE more relevant to the 1990's and America's public-private sector cooperation. It is our intent to focus on the needed expertise and training for executives to make a vital impact in their respective host companies or government departments both at the bottom line and in policy. To address these goals, we have initiated communication with the 900 PCEE alumni from across the U.S.; individuals who, after their year in the program, have a proven record of rising within their corporate and government ranks to major leadership positions. Exciting efforts are underway. This will be a year of transition and a year of decision on how best to make the Executive Exchange program succeed further. 744 Jackson Place N.W. Washington, D.C. 20503 (202) 395-4616 We will continue to update you with our progress, as your clearance for appointment moves forward. Please remember that your prospective appointment is confidential until a White House announcement has been made.

Sue's brother, Commander Tom Wilkins, has been designated by the Navy to coordinate arrangements for the President's visit. Tom is stationed in Caracas. Sue is a delightful young woman, attractive and articulate. She is serving her second term as Mayor of Charlotte, which is the largest city in the two Carolinas. She's a real go-getter--and she may fun for Governor or Senator one of these days. She campaigned around North Carolina with me during the final week of my campaign and I've never seen anyone fire up a rally like she did. She's a class act. Kindest regards.

HELLMUTH 6 Stanmore Court Potomac, Maryland 20854 Home: 301/299-8968 Office: 301/986-6550 November 24, 1990 Dear Governor Sununu: Although I have long been an admirer of yours, I have come to have no respect for Mr. Darman. He is one of those go along, get along guys who sacrifices Republican principles for his own ego satisfaction of completing a "deal". Just in case you have not seen it, there is enclosed a copy of my recent letter to the President which spells out what I feel is the debacle resulting from the so-called budget deal. In my opinion, Mr. Darman should quickly be among the missing from the President's offices so that those of us out here in the trenches of the Republican party know that you and the President are serious about restoring the integrity of our party and the commitments to the President's constituency. President Reagan was skillful in putting together a successful coalition of entrepreneurs and hard working, blue collar men and women who have little regard for Mr. Darman's brand of pseudo-intellectual posturing. And, frankly, I was disappointed when you were challenged on a recent Sunday morning news show and did not appropriately defend Senator Helms. He is no racist; it is not racist to be against affirmative action programs which weaken our economy and denigrate those whom they are supposed to benefit.

Suite 1003, Washington, D.C. 20005-3104 (202) 879-3000 November 20, 1990 Mr. John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: The alleged shortage of skilled labor in the United States is a myth created, in large part, by a misprint in the Hudson Institute (1987) executive summary of the report, "Workforce 2000." An explanation of this error appears in a note in the November 19, 1990, issue of U.S. News and World Report (attached). The Hudson Institute meant to say that there will be 15 percent more white American males entering than retiring from the work force over the next decade. The executive summary, however, omitted the word "net", and stated that the total of the white American male sector entering the work force would be 15 percent. The ramifications of this error have had wide-ranging consequences, not the least of which is current immigration legislation (S.358) which presumes we have a skilled labor shortage. S.358 is therefore premised on a monumental mistake. The proponents of increasing immigration into this country have based their arguments for expanding the number of visas allotted for skilled laborers on the projections in that Hudson Institute study. But the U.S. News and World Report note says, because of the editing error, these projections are "off by more than 100 percent." Thus, the only conclusion which we can draw is that S.358 is not needed to meet labor force needs. Indeed, if signed by President Bush, it will exacerbate to an even greater degree our increasing unemployment, as well as add to the nearly $3 billion annual costs of legal immigration paid by American taxpayers. Therefore, we urge you to advise the President to veto S. 358, a disastrous bill. Sincerely, Rose Hanes Rose M. Hanes Executive Director Population-Environment Balance, Inc.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N. W. Washington, D. C. 20500 Dear John: I am writing to urge that you do what you can to seek appeal of the 10th Circuit's opinion in the case of Oklahoma V. EPA. That case was decided earlier in July and held that a Clean Water Act permit issued by EPA for the sewage treatment plant in Fayetteville, Arkansas, not only had to meet the standards applicable to discharges in Arkansas but also standards promulgated in Oklahoma for discharges to streams flowing into Oklahoma. The case also held that no discharges could be permitted for any pollutant the standards for which were being violated in Oklahoma even if the discharge was undetectable by the time the receiving stream enters Oklahoma. Since I last wrote, the 10th Circuit denied the petition for rehearing setting up a possible petition for certiorari to the Supreme Court. I know that the Arkansas parties will be pursuing an appeal and it is my understanding, from discussions with EPA Administrator Reilly, that EPA will recommend that the government do so as well. In addition, I believe this case is being closely followed by state water pollution agencies around the country and by regulated industries. John, I cannot emphasize too strongly how important it is that the government do what it can to overturn this case. I am convinced it misreads the Clean Water Act and creates tremendous mischief in both the interstate and intra-state regulation of point source discharges. It will lead to -2- tremendous, unneccesary friction between states that will be counterproductive to the goals of the Clean Water Act. Therefore, I urge you to take a close personal look at this case and do what you can to ensure that the Department of Justice seek review by the Supreme Court.

To our understanding, one of the major issues regarding child care training has been the availability of standardized training courses and materials across the nation. That issue is regularly addressed by the American Red Cross. The courses and services of our organization must meet national as well as state guidelines, standards and training requirements. They must be applicable across the country as well as to our military members and their families overseas. We are pleased to have developed materials which, as much as possible, meet this need. The ability to meet potential national standards as well as the differing state regulations for the Child Care Course was an especially challenging issue to be addressed. We are pleased to note that this course meets child care provider training requirements in as many states as possible, allowing it to be pertinent for most child care providers across the country. Additionally, to address specific state or local training regulations, the design allows people to take as many of the seven units of the course as they desire. Certain jurisdictions also require a number of their personnel to complete specific CPR training. So for those areas, the very highly regarded American Red Cross Infant and Child CPR course is available to be taught in conjunction with the Child Care Course. The American Red Cross Child Care Course was first premiered at the 1990 Head Start Health Institute in Washington, D.C. Almost 900 people from across the country trained in one or more units of the course during the week of this conference. Their response was outstandingly positive. This course is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. In addition, the American Public Health Association has asked our permission to reference certain portions of the course in the recommended national standards for child care provider training, being drafted at this time. Also, we are in the process of finalizing a customized version for the Department of the Army. Enclosed you will find an informational packet and complimentary copies of the participant materials, which include two workbooks and a series of quick-access first aid reference cards. Full course materials include instructor manuals and videos for each session, as well as certificates for those who complete individual units and who complete the entire training course. We have been informed that certain states have already formally recommended units of this course to meet their regulations. A number of other states are currently reviewing the materials to determine whether they may also be referenced in those states' regulations. To our delight, this support has resulted purely from review of the course materials by those people responsible for training guidelines, not from any strong promotion of the course. The American Red Cross currently certifies over 6.5 million people annually in our Health and Safety courses, including first aid, CPR, aquatic and general health education classes. However, the initial response to this course has been one of the most gratifying we have experienced. As you have shown interest in training issues for child care providers, we hope you will find these materials to be helpful. Please feel free to share them with others who are also interested in this area. If we can provide additional copies of the materials or answer any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (202)-639-3260. Sincerely, James J.

Our intention is to preserve the program as initially outlined, making only minor adjustments where required. On behalf of the families of those we honor, and at the personal invitation of Grace Corrigan, we respectfully request your presence at this auspicious event on Thursday, May 9, 1991 at Spaceport USA, Kennedy Space Center. The Astronauts Memorial Foundation is working diligently to ensure that the dedication ceremony will be an inspiration to the American people and a fitting tribute to those astronauts whom we commemorate. We appreciate your consideration and apologize for any inconvenience this postponement may cause. Revised information will be forthcoming. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact our Dedication Director, Mary Higbea, at (407) 898-3737 if you have any questions. Sincerely, alan C. Helmon Alan C.

Mr. Sauter was the keynote speaker at the American Ex-POW National Convention, attended by over 1,000 delegates of this 32,000 member organization. Mr. Sauter presented overwhelming evidence that the United States government has systematically abandoned its POWs and MIAs for at least 45 years. The National Alliance of Families is made up of family members of POW/MIAs and EX-POWs from WWII, Korea, the Cold War and Vietnam as well as Associate Members. As such, we are the largest organization of our type in the world. We support, whole-heartedly, declassification of documents relating to POW/MIAs going back to WWII. We understand that you have recently approached the Veterans Administration for documents concerning POW/MIAs. I think you will have found out that the VA has no such documentation. You will also find that the State Department and Department of Defense either do not have many documents or they choose not to read them. There can be no other reason for their actions in the face of the evidence we have available. Vice President Quayle was recently presented declassified documents by Mr. Sauter on KIRO TV. In addition, the Alliance shipped him an additional 800 documents. The Vice President promised us that if the evidence warranted it, he would encourage the President to resolve the issue. Sir, we mean the President no harm. In fact, we have the resources to help him become the first President to really make this issue a matter' of "highest national priority" rather than paying it the usual lip service. Our researchers possess more information on the POW/MIAs than any other organization other than the National Archives. It is compelling and overwhelming. We stand ready to make our resources available to your office in the hope that we can finally get a resolution of this tragedy. 5503 17th AVENUE, N.W., P-200, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98107 TEL. (206) 782-2600 FAX (206) 789-9680 -2- Congressman Bob Smith of your home State of New Hampshire has been a leading force in trying to resolve this tragedy. He is currently sponsoring an amendment that will allow Congress access to the classified Tighe Report. Gen. Eugene Tighe, former Director of the DIA, has said that the evidence is overwhelming that American POWs were abandoned in SE Asia. In the very near future, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee preliminary report on their investigation of the POW/MIA issue will be released. We understand that it will state that American POWs are in the Soviet Union. In the face of this, as well as increasing public pressure, time is running out to take the lead on resolving this issue. We feel that the President has a window of opportunity in the next few weeks to correct the mistakes and grievous errors of the past 45 years. We stand ready to help him accomplish this. The documents we have in our possession reflect the review of millions of documents. Considering the gravity of those we have in our possession, we can only speculate as to the content of those that have been withheld. What can be the reason for refusing to declassify documents dealing with events 45 years ago? The President can correct that now, by Executive Order. The National Alliance of Families would like to meet with you at your convenience so that we may make available to you the materials we have at our disposal. We can also make available to you the team of researchers that know more about this issue than any group in the world, including the State Department and Department of Defense. Time is of the essence. With the release of the Tighe Report and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee report as well as release of the book, "Kiss the Boys Goodbye", the moment for assuming the position of leadership on this issue is fleeting. Please contact our office if you wish to pursue this matter further I urge you not to dismiss our offer out of hand. Our organization can be of invaluable assistance. We will not rest until our government fulfills its obligation to our abandoned servicemen. We would like to see this issue resolved under the leadership of the Commander-in-Chief which is as it should be.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: Some months ago, we talked about the impact a Section 404 (c) veto of the Two Forks dam and reservoir project would have in our respective states of Colorado and Illinois. At that time, you spoke of the inherent difficulty in reversing the decision of an agency director and asked us to propose a feasible alternative. We believe such an alternative is now available in the shape of the Denver Water Providers' South Platte Reservoir. The South Platte project has been specifically designed to avoid the objections raised by Two Forks. Although the South Platte damsite would be in the same area as Two Forks, it would be 60 percent smaller than the big dam. South Platte would avoid Cheesman Canyon and the trout stream that flows through it. South Platte would avoid 25 percent of the recreation impacts posed by Two Forks and 24 percent of the wetland impacts. The project protects 3,627 acres of wildlife habitat and nine percent of the known habitat of the Pawnee montane skipper butterfly. Finally, the 450,000 acre-foot reservoir would be filled in three stages, as need requires, with mitigation preceding each stage. We would suggest that the 404 (c) process on Two Forks be suspended long enough to allow thorough study and discussion of the South Platte project. The EPA administrator has stated that any and all corrective actions proposed by the applicant will be considered during his agency's review. We would suggest that the South Platte reservoir, while proposed as a corrective action, is essentially a new project designed to avoid the objections raised by Two Forks. The South Platte project offers a way to move forward on the problem of, water storage in the Denver area. While no project will pass muster with every effected group, we believe that the South Platte project offers the best hope of crossing this particular minefield. 1e John H.

Dear Mr. Sununu, Enclosed is another letter I have received from Mr. Raymond Edde on the Lebanese situation. You have seen several of these before, and will realise that there is not as much paper to be gone through here as it seems. I've included a photocopy of Edde's handwritten original, a transcript and a translation, along with the text and translations of three newspaper clippings he included. I must confess that, when I first received this letter in September, I felt it was not up to the standard of others I have received from Mr. Edde, and consequently did not send it on to you. I had found it too negative, even petulant toward both Israel and the United States, and thought it would not help the cause of Lebanon that is so important to Mr Edde. Looking at it again in the light of the Syrian behavior surrounding the suppression of General Aoun's rebellion, and the way Lebanon has now been made so much more subservient to Syria, I am more understanding of the gloom that pervades Mr. Eddé's letter, and his refrain that complains about the indifference of the world society and the world's Christians as Lebanon is simply rubbed out as an independent polity. I don't want to censor him. With best wishes, ID# 185897 THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENCE TRACKING WORKSHEET INCOMING DATE RECEIVED: OCTOBER 26, 1990 NAME OF CORRESPONDENT: MR.

Webster, Ph.D. would be an excellent commissioner for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I have known "Ted" for well over 20 years, and we have worked together on committees and projects of several scientific and professional organizations including the American Board of Radiology, American Association of Physicists in Medicine, Society of Nuclear Medicine, and National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements. I know his work on BEIR III very well, and have served as a site visitor and visiting professor in his institution, and he has done the same in mine. Ted is an insightful and dedicated individual who always attempts to ground his opinions and suggestions in a solid scientific base. He tends to be "short on rhetoric" and "long on data". He knows the fields of health and medical physics very well, and is highly regarded in them and in the discipline of medicine in general. His appointment as commissioner would be very warmly received by both medicine and higher education. I personally support his candidacy. Sincerely, William R.

Dear Mr. Sununu, You've seen, through Cardinal Law or directly from myself, various communications I have had in recent years with Mr. Yasser Arafat. At the urging of a prominent Boston Rabbi I have written recently to Mr. Shamir, and enclose a copy of that letter for your information. Mr. Edmund Hull of the State Department wrote to me, at your request, in response to the letter I had sent you August 14th on the visit of Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani. I was grateful for that and passed a copy along to Talabani. I understand why it is nervous-making to receive a Kurdish leader at this time, with all the Arabs and the Turks watching. I noted, too, in Mr. Brzezinski's extraordinarily insightful analysis of the Gulf situation Op-Ed in the N.Y. Times of last Sunday, that he cited the possibility of renewed rebellion by the Kurds in Northern Iraq as one of the dangerous wild cards in the current imbroglio. Talabani and his spokesmen here were at pains to tell me that they too understand and accept that any publicity over American dealings with them could be open to misconstruction. They asked me, though, to let you know that they are willing to come over, at any time, on very little notice, and that Talabani and Mahsoud Barzani would gladly come together to meet NSC or State Department people, as a way of assuring the U.S. that they are not planning foolishness or looking for impossible things, but are anxious to play a constructive role, in the hope that the Kurds might be helped to their most basic rights. The point is that they have come to agreed policies, are not looking for independence or the interference with international borders, but instead look for three things: 1) protection of their human rights in the face of all the atrocities they have suffered; 2) their cultural rights (language, history, traditions); and 3) some degree of free communication among the Kurdish communities in the several countries where they reside. I assured them that I would pass on their message. And I would see value in it myself if they were seen, even quite privately, so that the U.S. could have secure knowledge that the Kurds were not going to be a land-mine in the way of our policies, and they might be encouraged to keep to a helpful stance.

The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: The House budget bill includes a provision amending the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) This amendment will fundamentally restructure the NLRA's enforcement system and consequently, increase confrontation and litigation while discouraging voluntary settlements. We urge the White House's active support in deleting this provision from any budget reconciliation package. By transforming the present remedial system which has worked for over 55 years into a penal statute against employers, the measure would: Impose mandatory fines of up to $10,000 for violations of the NLRA. * Require a fine each time the General Counsel of the NLRA Board alleges violations. This would result in enormous penalties whenever several employees are involved. * Levy fines on employers when they are alleged to have discriminated in any way against an employee for union activity or when they are alleged to have failed in any way to bargain in"good faith". * Exclude union discrimination from these penalties, allowing them to commit picket line violence against workers with out fines. * Require assessment of fines BEFORE a hearing on the merits or final adjudication of the complaint. * Virtually prohibit an employer form engaging in hard bargaining for fear of these penalties. The amendment would tamper with a system that is working as smoothly as ever. In the past decade, over 90% of all NLRB meritorious cases have been settled within two months of filing, thus providing a swift remedy to aggrieved parties. Prior to 729 15th Street, NW Washington, DC 20005 (202) 637-8800 1980, this percentage never exceeded 85%. At the same time, the data hardly makes the case for a need for harsher remedies under the statute. The number of unfair labor practice charges filed against both employers and unions has declined to its lowest level in 15 years. As you know, the budget process is moving rapidly, and we urge the White House's active participation in removing this measure from budget reconciliation. Sincerely, Charles E.

I am referring to the huge proposed increases -- five to seven fold -- in civil penalties for Occupational Safety and Health Administration violations. Pure and simple, the Democrat majority is trying to rewrite our nation's labor laws in a budget bill! The House has not even held hearings on the OSHA issue and the full Senate never considered it. Obviously, the budget package now being structured is being dictated by the Democrat leadership. However, the OSHA provisions simply must not be accepted by the Administration. John, enclosed is a letter signed by the top three officers of Tyson Foods, the world's largest poultry processors, which eloquently describes the adverse impact that passage of such provisions would have on American businesses. I urge the Administration to be adamant in refusing to accept these devastating proposals. Thanks for your consideration.

KOREAN WAR . COLD WAR -VIETNAM WAR POWs MIAs October 4, 1990 Mr. John Sununu Chief of Staff 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: Our Organization is interested in bringing the issue of Prisoners of War/Missing In Action (POW/MIAs) to the forefront of any discussions with the Soviet Union. First, it is the right thing to do. This will be keeping his administration's promise to make the issue a matter of "highest national priority". Politically, given the fast pace of recent events, it is imperative that the President take the lead on the issue before the following events pass him by: 1. "Kiss The Boys Goodbye", the novel by Monika and Bill Stephenson, will be a Best Seller. Its contents add fur- ther evidence that Americans were abandoned in SE Asia and the Soviet Union. 2. VP Dan Quayle was handed documents on KIRO TV in Seattle that prove that Americans have been imprisoned in the Soviet Union. In addition, he received an additional 800 documents that further make the case. 3. We understand that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee investigation's preliminary report will conclude that American POWs ARE in the Soviet Union. 4. Rep. Bob Smith (NH) has moved forward an amendment that will give Congress access to the previously classified Tighe Report. It is our belief that this report will be an embarrassment to the United States Government. 5. H.R. 3603 now has 150 co-sponsors, including 16 of the 37 members of the Government Operations Committee. This Bill will declassify POW/MIA documents back to WII, causing further problems for any administration that perpetuates the myth that there are no Americans in the Soviet Union. 6. The Soviet Union has shown an increasing interest in the issue, sponsoring and financing visits of POW families to the Soviet Union. 5503 17th AVENUE, N.W., P-200, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98107 TEL. (206) 782-2600 FAX (206) 789-9680 -2- happened to the following Americans mentioned in ever declassified State Department documents? These are sources, in different documents themselves, and in mentioned in these documents, locations dirferent years 1end gree State Department Later, the State says there is no evidence any credence to the reports. that American same POWs were abandoned in the Soviet Union.

Are names deleted to "protect their privacy"? Seen in Camp #37 near Bulun. JOE MILLER, seen March, 1947, Karabas (phonetic) Prison, also working at Koragunda Coal Mine. What ever happened to the classified document mentioned in the 1962 State Department letter to Sen. Thomas Dodd that verifies that there WAS INDEED a list of Americans imprisoned in communist countries but it is classified. I enclose a copy of the letter. Is the list still classified? What happened to the people on the list? It is time to make the list public and account for those listed there. This accounting should not be made by the State Department or Defense Department but rather the American people. There can be no reason to carry on this cruelty in the name of "protecting their privacy". I am sure JOE MILLER and his friends could stand a little intrusion into their privacy at this late date. The National Alliance of Families, the largest group of its type in the nation, asks that you use your good offices to convince the President that the time is now. He can be a hero when this issue breaks to the American people or he can be perceived as part of the bureaucracy that buried these poor men and women for, in many cases, 45 years. The Alliance can see no benefit to American interests to be achieved by perpetuating this national tragedy.

Sununu, Chief of Staff 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: As Chairman of the Board of our regional Chamber of Commerce I must write you to express deep concern for our economy and especially for our businesses. We are certain that the economy in the Northeast is currently at a standstill and something must be done, and soon, to get us off "top dead center". Cooperative and constructive action between the business community, the banking industry, Federal regulators and our elected officials must occur. The Savings and Loan crisis is not understood by the public, the business community or even the financial industry. With the problems being experienced by all due to this crisis, we have many solid credit worthy businesses who stand on the verge of collapse due to their present inability to obtain necessary credit. Federal regulators and the F.D.I.C. must certainly do their job as watchdogs for depositors. The House and the Senate must similarly do their best to liquidate properties now controlled by the Resolution Trust Company and the F.D.I.C. However, it does not appear that anyone is reviewing the effects of the expediency of such actions on existing businesses. Lack of credit and downward spiraling real estate values are the results of such seemingly disjointed actions occurring in the vacuum that lacks planned results. While regulations need not, and should not be weakened, some can certainly be amended to reflect our current situation. Our relatively small part of our great nation has fallen on very bad times.

HURLEY October 9, 1990 The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear M. Sununu: As Mayor of the City of Springfield, Massachusetts, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere frustration and concern relative to the proposed expansion of the Medicare Tax and burdening effect on Cities across the country and their employees. In the City of Springfield alone, approximately 21.9% of our employees are covered under the Medicare Tax. The City portion of the tax, for the second quarter, was $128,246 for the covered employees. If all the employees were covered during that period, the City's share would have been $584,614, for a total increase of $456, 368. Based on the second quarter, the annualized cost to the City would be in excess of $1,825,500, over and above the $500, 000 already budgeted for past years. Given this information it is inherently clear that the imposition of this tax would have a significantly detrimental impact on the already tenuous financial position of the City of Springfield. Another concern is the logical next step which would be the inclusion of all the municipal employees who are covered under Medicare be covered under Social Security. As you know, Social Security currently requires withholdings of 7.65% of the first $48,000 of income, with the employer being required to match the withholdings. This would cost the City approximately $12,000,000 a year at current rates. The Northeast and Massachusetts cities are going through a very difficult economic period and are receiving very little assistance on the State and national level. Both levels of government are passing mandates with no provisions for funding onto cities and towns who can least afford them. As it stands right now, the City of Springfield is in a very distressed position and is scraping by in providing its residents with adequate public health, safety and educational resources. City of Springfield 36 Court Street Springfield. MA 01103 413.787.6100 that you please reconsider this proposed expansion on and Towns across the country. This, along with an already cause serious financial hardship and an of service. ,ciate again, whatever consideration you could offer toward careful review of I ask for your close attention to this matter and would expansion. sincerely, Mary May E Hurly E.

Nevertheless, I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how historic your actions appear to me as an observer. News reports don't always mention the role you fulfill in resolving national issues, but your imprint is often obvious to me. If you will permit me, I would like to mention that the place you seem already to have reserved for yourself is alongside Henry, Hamilton, Seward, Baruch and Stimson.

HUME 550 KEARNY STREET, SUITE 1000 SAN FRANCISCO 94108 October 4, 1990 Mr. John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC Dear John: Several years ago, I spent several months on a committee set up by Karl Bendetsen to consider how our country could be defended from ballistic missiles. Ed Teller and Joe Coors served on the committee with me. The defense department made classified information available to us. We all came to the conclusion that it was entirely possible to defend our country from ballistic missiles with weapons already created which would be available for deployment at an entirely affordable cost. This is even more true today. Therefore, I was distressed that the budget proposed by Congress eliminates funding for SDI. It appears to me that only a presidential veto of the Defense Authorization Bill can prevent Congress from destroying SDI. I men- tioned to President Bush when he was in San Francisco recently how important I felt it was to continue SDI. I hope you will encourage the Pres- ident to exercise his right of veto.

New York Life Insurance Company 180280 51 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010 212 576-5077 Harry G. Hohn Chairman of the Board LORK October 3, 1990 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: Re: Life Insurance Company Taxation I am writing to you once again on behalf of my company, its four million policyowners, and 22,000 employees and agents. While I do not want to appear ungrateful for the progress that has been made in the budget negotiations in reducing the five year, $16 billion revenue target for a life insurance DAC (deferred acquisition costs) provision to $8 billion, I am convinced that the revenue target is still dangerously high. This target would still increase the life industry's taxes by 50 percent. As you know, objective data show that the life insurance industry is already paying federal income taxes at a 24.7 percent effective rate while the average for all companies is 25.9 percent. (These figures are based on 1988 Tax Analysts data.) There is, in short, no rational basis for singling out this industry for a 50 percent tax increase when we are already paying taxes at an acceptable rate within the general corporate community. The effects of such a dramatic increase will be catastrophic and will directly and adversely affect the legitimate interests of our many policyholders and agents.

Halpern 48 Rockledge Drive Livingston. New Jersey 07039 October 2, 1990 Dear Governor Sununu, It has been some time since I last communicated with you. Although I have been to the OEOB frequently during the past year I have always felt that it would be presumptuous to impose upon your time. I honestly did not think there was anything that I could add to the thoughts and comments that had been transmitted to you by Max Fisher, George Klein, Marshall Breger and others. However I do want to take this opportunity to express my commitment and support for the actions that this Administration has taken in response to the crisis in the Persian Gulf. The emergence of the United States as truly a leader among nations has filled me with a deep sense of pride. I only hope that we will be successful in achieving our goals quickly and with a minimum loss of life. I am enclosing a copy of the letter that I have sent to the President. I consider myself fortunate to be able to say that I worked for the election of this Administration. Please send my best regards to Nancy. You are always welcome to ski with us in Beaver Creek. I look forward to seeing you in Washington after this crisis is resolved.

On behalf of the San Jose Conservation Corps, I request your support for the National Service Act. National service and voluntarism has been promoted by President Bush since before his election. This act will provide an opportunity for community service for thousands of our nation's young and older Americans. Even opponents of this bill cannot find fault with the concept of national service programs. Their sole objection is based on fiscal concerns. While not losing sight of the mounting budget deficit, I believe that national service programs more than pay for themselves. The investment in meeting the needs of communities alone warrants your approval of this bill. I understand that some may object to paying stipends for service. This bill provides stipends only to those who are making a full-time commitment to serve, as we do for young men and women serving in the military, the Peace Corps, and VISTA. The San Jose Conservation Corps serves a large number of youth in the City of San Jose. We have seen what the lack of opportunities, disenfranchisement, illiteracy, early parenting, and drug abuse can do to young people. Youth service programs like the Conservation Corps are a proven way to reinvest them in society. Across the nation, young people are already serving full-time in youth corps and part-time in school programs. However, the current network reaches less than 5% of those eligible. These programs need a federal partner. I pledge my commitment to make this program a success. Please urge the President to sign the National Service Act.

George Mason University has almost 20,000 alumni in the Washington Metropolitan area and the alumni association is always seeking new events to meet their needs and interests. I believe it is important for an alumni association to offer its members a wide variety of cultural, educational and informative programs. An address by you to our alumni would certainly be a significant event for our association and one which would attract great interest. Traditionally, our luncheon is held in the period between the first of March and the end of May. However, if you agree to join us, we would certainly expect to accomodate your schedule.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: President Ershad of Bangladesh has requested my intervention in his attempts to meet with the President during his current visit to the United States. President Ershad will be at the United Nations special session until October 2, and thereafter in Colorado until October 6. However, he will meet at whatever place is most convenient to President Bush. I strongly urge that time be set aside to meet with President Ershad. Bangladesh was the first non-Arab Islamic country to join U.S. forces in the Middle East. Despite his strong friendship with Saddam Hussein, and the substantial loss of remittances back to Bangladesh from the country's citizens working in Iraq, President Ershad felt an obligation to support the United Nations. I might add that he is under great pressure from his leftist opposition which is condemning him for conceding to U.S. interests without getting anything in return. Indeed, we did contribute to the evacuation of Bangladeshi workers, which President Ershad appreciated. In my judgment, the meeting would strengthen Ershad's position at home, further stabilizing this important flank of the Sub-Continent, something that is clearly in our foreign policy interest. I send my warmest regards. Sincerely, Hatch Orrin G.

Our population is becoming increasingly older, making this conference more important than ever before. I urge you to support a 1991 White House Conference on Aging which will help our country deal adequately with concerns and issues of Older Americans. I have been informed that both houses of Congress have passed "sense of the Congress" resolutions calling for President Bush to begin planning the conference, but apparently the White House has not yet responded. By this time in 1980, planning was already in full swing, with local forums being held in towns, cities, and counties across the country. I urge you to promptly initiate plans for the next White House Conference on Aging which will guide the way for comprehensive program planning and resource allocation in an efficient manner. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this most important matter.

HUARD Vice President Taxation and Fiscal Policy Department September 27, 1990 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House First Floor, West Wing 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: It has been reported that budget summit negotiators have agreed to deny corporations any income tax deductions for interest paid to the Internal Revenue Service on tax underpayments. NAM urges you to reject any such proposal, whether as part of a deficit reduction agreement or otherwise, because it is bad tax policy. Our reasons are as follows: -- Underpayments do not typically occur because corporate taxpayers seek to avoid their legitimate obligations, but simply because the tax code is exceedingly complex and good faith disputes over its meaning are frequently not resolved until many years after the taxable period in question. As a result, a taxpayer's liability is often determined retroactively, sometimes on the basis of regulations or judicial decisions not even promulgated until after the due date of the disputed return. Denial of interest deductions on underpayments would force corporations into systematically overpaying their taxes. In short, they would be heavily penalized for not resolving all doubtful issues in favor of the IRS. : Interest is paid to compensate for the payor's use of the payee's money. For business taxpayers, such payments are ordinary and necessary business expenses and should be fully deductible in determining income tax liability. As applied to business taxpayers, the federal income tax is a tax on net income, not on gross receipts. The argument that this change is needed to establish parity between individual and corporate taxpayers is somewhat specious, resting at least in part on the fallacious premise that personal itemized deductions and ordinary and necessary business expense deductions are interchangeable concepts. 1331 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Suite 1500 - North Lobby Washington, DC 20004-1703 (202) 637-3000 FAX: (202) 637-3182 The Honorable John H. Sununu september 27, 1990 Page Two -- Taxpayers who prevail in disputes with the IRS and receive refunds are fully taxed on any interest paid by the government on such refunds. To disallow deductions for the interest paid on additional taxes assessed when the taxpayer loses such a dispute is blatantly unfair. It is yet another example of the kind of "Heads the IRS wins, tails taxpayer loses" situation that continues to erode taxpayer confidence in the fairness of the federal tax system. We note that this proposal would raise nearly $5 billion in the first year it is effective and then actually lose a litte in subsequent years. In short, it represents the kind of "quick fix" gimmickry that all too often shows up in deficit reduction "deals," where principles of sound tax policy are overriden by the demands of expendient revenue policy. NAM therefore urges that this proposal be summarily rejected. Sincerely, Paul R. Prace Paul R.

It has been reported that the tax would assess a ten percent excise tax on this one small sector of the garment and fashion industry, with a tax threshold set at only $500. This sector specific target places our fur farmers and retailers at a serious disadvantage to competitive garments and accessories. We note that the same disadvantage has not been built into the proposed generic tax on jewelry or consumer electronics. We note as well, that the threshold for fur is set at only $500, while the threshold for jewelry is $5,000. This is obviously inequitable. The minimal revenue gains expected from the fur tax do not justify the anticipated hardship on our fur farmers, which have been severely hurt by competition from subsidized foreign production. We vigorously oppose the tax and will fight its adoption. It is urgent that we discuss the proposed tax with you before the budget summit concludes. Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, V.Hansen Honad C nech Howard C. Nielson James V.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: As you may know, in February 1990, I introduced the Venture Capital Gains Act, H.R. 3987, which was drafted and introduced earlier in the Senate as S. 348 by the esteemed Senator from Arkansas, Dale Bumpers. I am now in the process of gathering co-sponsors for the Seed Capital Formation Act, introduced as S. 2798 by Senator Bumpers. I intend to introduce the bill early next week, unless it is included as part of the Budget Summit agreement. I believe both the Venture Capital Gains bill and the Seed Capital Formation bill can serve as the basis for a compromise on the capital gains issue and therefore break the impasse among the negotiators at the Budget Summit. In November, 1989 and again in July of this year, I provided information to the Majority Leader's office regarding these two proposals. Similarly, Senator Bumpers' office also provided information to other participants in the Budget Summit. At this crucial stage of your deliberations, we stand by to provide any additional information that might be of assistance as you and your colleagues deal with this very difficult and intricate issue. I have enclosed a chart comparing the two bills for your reference, and would like to briefly describe what each bill does. The Seed Capital Formation Act provides for a 100% tax exemption for capital gains on direct seed capital investments that are held for at least ten years, and directly invested in companies of up to $5 million in paid-in capital. The Venture Capital Gains Act provides a 25% exemption for capital gains on investments held at least five years in companies of up to $20 million in paid-in capital. (S. 348, Senator Bumpers' Venture Capital THIS STATIONERY PRINTED ON PAPER MADE WITH RECYCLED FIBERS bill includes the exemption for investments in companies of up to $100 million in paid-in capital.) While the President's capital gains proposal would cost $24 billion over five years (according to the Joint Committee on Taxation), the Venture Capital Gains Act would cost just $50- $100 million over five years, or .42% of the revenue cost. The Seed Capital Formation Act would cost just $590 million over five years, or 2.5% of the cost of the President's proposal. incentives to invest in start-up businesses and then nurture these Together, these two proposals will provide investors with strong companies once they are up and running. Money will be put where it is needed most, allowing small businesses to lay the groundwork for a stronger, more competitive economy for the future. There are those who favor a broader capital gains tax cut, but venture and seed capital investments deserve to stand first-in-line. These are the riskiest, the longest-term and the most growth-oriented investments investors can make. We cannot afford an across-the-board tax cut at a time when all our efforts need to focus on cutting the deficit. When the deficit is investments. under control, we can consider other tax incentives for other types of Best of all, the Venture and Seed Capital incentives are inexpensive enough so that we can pay for them without restructuring the tax code, and without divisive and partisan debate over income tax rates at a time when we need to be unified in the face of our enemies abroad. The critical issue right now is not who blinks at the summit. The nation's economy is teetering on the edge of a recession, interest rates are rising, and the value of the dollar is sinking. This Budget Summit must succeed and it must succeed quickly. A compromise on capital gains such as Senator Bumpers and I have proposed will make this possible. If you need any additional information or help from my office or that of Senator Dale Bumpers, please do not hesitate to contact Nancy Nagel at 225-4155 or Chuck Ludlam at 224-3095.

I was a member of Governor Thomson's staff back when you were doing some good things for him. Enclosed find a copy of my letter to President Bush. I am amazed about what I am learning now about hydrogen. Until I began reading about it I thought it only came in a bottle mixed with peroxide for use as a mouthwash. Being an engineer, you, ofcourse have long had a better understanding of it. From the few books that I have read and the people I have talked with who are familialr with it I am convinced that hydrogen is the ultimate answer to America's woes regarding the declining reserves of fossil fuels and the environmental problems which fossil fuels have bestowed upon our earth. Hopefully you can help as you have helped America in SO many ways since you went to Washington.

Patti and I always appreciate his support, and have always found a good friend in George Bush. Please let him know just how much we appreciate his continued support. On a separate note, we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Throughout the year we have been honored with visits from dignitaries such as Vice President Quayle as well as former Presidents Ford and Reagan. Unfortunately, due to declining health, President Nixon has postponed his visit to Abilene. As a part of this celebration, I have asked the former Republican Presidents to write a personal note in tribute to Ike which will be put on permanent display at the Kansas Museum of History. Since I am a Republican myself, I have made it one of my priorities to see that the Centennial of Ike's birth has it's place in Kansas history. To this end, I have secured personal notes from Presidents Nixon, Ford and Reagan, which have been authenticated and will be placed on permanent display soon. I would also like to secure a personal note from President Bush on Ike, nothing lengthy, just a thought our two on he feelings of Ike and their relationship. The Honorable John Sununu September 12, 1990 Page 2 My Personal Assistant, Mike Hammond, has been in contact with David Carney and Kathy Hutchinson regarding this request, and has provided them with copies of the tributes from Presidents Nixon, Ford and Reagan, which the President might wish to review before adding his thoughts. It is my hope you might be able to follow-up on my request, at a time which is convenient to the President's schedule. Again, my thanks for all your help John. If your staff has any questions regarding my request for this personal note from the President, please have them contact Mike Hammond.

Robert L. Hyman 173397 Narrows Road Center Barnstead New Hampshire 03225 8 September 1990 Hon. John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 2000 Dear John: I am writing to you again in order to have you possibly indicate to Mr. Bush how one New Hampshirite feels about certain political events today. In order to do this I am inclosing a copy of a letter that I wrote to the Republican National Committee in response to a ploy of theirs (copy incl. ) Since the request is for contributions ostensibly in support of Mr. Bush, my response to that is as noted in my return letter to the committee. My comments in kind indicate why I have become disillusioned with Mr. Bush to date. I strongly suspect that there are others who feel as I do; who feel that the issues must be addressed realistically by Mr. Bush in order for us to feel more inclined to support him. Look at the recent public reaction from only a segment of the populace to the CAT nonsense dreamed up by The Congress. Further, I also suspect that many americans are quite tired of being increasingly taxed for issues that have better solutions. We, in New Hampshire have learned that just "throwing money" at education does not improve it in any way. Mr. Bush may not care about the ramifications of the QUID PRO QUO and its implications but nonetheless it is real. Robert Sincerely, L.

In my personal analysis of the measure, it appears that onerous sectarian prohibitions still exist in the Bill as well as discriminations against the commercial or "for-profit", tax-paying child care center providers. Both of these conditions yield an incredible disincentive for private concerns to participate in the Act once the measure is enacted into law. The measure is inherently anti small business and leaves no enhancement for private enterprise. In fact, the measure will generate government competition to the child care service industry on a grandiose scale. This will severely limit parental choice in the selection of care for their children. The Proprietary Child Care Association of Virginia and its national affiliate NCCA are in full support of a VETO of this measure as it has been ill conceived and based on inaccurate data since its creation in the 99th Congress. As we have previously stated publicly, our supporting membership will not embrace the provisions of the Act and will work to stop its implementations at the state and local level. However, we are most interested in legislation based on Tax Credits for families who use child care and other related human services as well as new tax credits or enhancements designed to promote private investment in these areas. Thank you for considering our concerns during your deliberations. Sincerely Vernon dir.

We hope very much that you will be able to join us that evening. Our speaker will be Sir V.S. Naipaul, the Anglo-Indian author whose writings have illuminated so many cultures around the globe. His non-fiction works include Among the Believers: An Islamic Journey, a fascinating account of the current ferment within the Muslim world; India: A Wounded Civilization, considered by many to be the best book ever written about that country, and The Return of Eva Peron, which captures the colonial and revolutionary contradictions of Argentina and, to a lesser extent, Latin America in general. Of his numerous fiction works, A Bend in the River--an intricate story about post-colonial Africa--is considered one of his best. This will be our fourth lecture and an important milestone along the way towards establishing the Wriston Lecture as a preeminent intellectual event. An invitation will be mailed to you shortly.

Bennett Mr. John Sununu Chief of Staff Office of the President White House Washington, D.C. 20001 Dear John: Once again, I would like to thank you for taking the time to come to Kansas and attend the- fundraiser held in Topeka. Your visit was important to the crowd of people gathered and the positive coverage provided by the electronic media was very beneficial. The event raised a significant amount of money. I would like to ask for another favor. Would it be possible for you to make a similar appearance in Wichita, Kansas, sometime between October 22 and October 31? I know you are busy with the current crisis in the Middle East, however, it would be beneficial to my campaign and also raise necessary funds. Your visit would provide a tremendous amount of media attention in Wichita which is a critical area I must carry in order to win re-election. Incidentally, Wichita is also a major media market covering approximately sixty (60) percent of Kansas. Your friendship and support over the past several years has been very important to me and I am grateful for all that you have done on my behalf. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request. Should you have questions or desire further information, please do not hesitate to call. Please give my regards to Nancy.

HAYES STATE TREASURER August 20, 1990 The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20005 Dear Governor Sununu: The 1990 general election campaign is underway, and promises to be the most important in many years. This year's race for State Treasurer will present the voters of California with a very clear choice. The choice is between Thomas Hayes, an experienced financial manager with a proven record of success investing taxpayers money, and Jerry Brown's sister Kathleen, an ambitious politician who has never invested a dime of public money in her life. When Governor Deukmejian appointed me in January 1989, I promised him that I would run the treasurer's office like the multi-billion dollar business that it is. Last year, we earned the taxpayers of this state $1.7 billion from investments, achieving the highest rate of return in the country. Furthermore, I instituted a competitive process for the award of bond contracts that has saved the state an additional $7 million. I am running hard, and I fully intend to win. However, my opponent has the Brown political machine at her disposal, and she has raised over $1 million in her effort to defeat me. I would be grateful if you would consider appearing at a fundraising event on my behalf during your next trip to California. Specifically, I am suggesting September 10, 11 or 12 in San Francisco as possible dates. The current international situation being what it is, I understand the scheduling constraints under which you must operate.

CALIFORNIA 90670 (213) 944-0263 (818) 401-0445 August 22, 1990 The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Washington, DC 20500 RE: Director, Office for Victims of Crime; Charles M. House, Candidate Dear Governor Sununu: Last year I had written Mr. Chase Untermeyer endorsing Mr. House's appointment to a position within the Admin- istration commensurate with his talents and experience. I would like to take up Mr. House's "cause" again and recommend his appointment to the position of Director, Office for Victims of Crime. Mr. House is a college graduate with almost twenty-five years' line and staff experience with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff's Department serves an area larger than most states in terms of pop- ulation. Given the ethnic and socioeconomic diversity of that area--along with its attendant social ills--Mr. House's experience is itself unique and well-suited to the position of Director, Office for Victims of Crime. Mr. House recently attended a budget briefing given by Attorney General Thornburgh. He has long been active in state and local civic affairs and has twice been the Republican candidate for Congress in California's 34th District. He is a strong "team player" with the clarity of vision and strength of character needed to discharge the duties of office with distinction. Very truly yours, Uppared ANDREW J.

New York Life Insurance Company 51 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010 72403 212 576-5077 Harry G. Hohn Chairman of the Board September 5, 1990 NEW YORK LIFE The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: I know that the process of negotiating the federal budget is a demanding one and I wish you every success in reaching a workable agreement in the current negotiations. I am writing because of my concern that one revenue-raising proposal under consideration would increase taxes paid by the life insurance industry by $3 billion per year using a deferred acquisition costs (DAC) vehicle. This proposal would double the tax on the life insurance industry. As you may know, the life insurance industry pays taxes at a rate that is about equal to the average for corporations in general and greater than that for corporations in other segments of the financial services industry. According to a survey conducted by Tax Analysts, the most recent effective tax rate for the insurance industry as a whole was 24.7% while the average for all corporations was 25.9%. (The computation for the entire industry understates the tax burden on the life segment because it includes property casualty companies that are allowed more tax exempt income). As for other financial corporations, Tax Analysts reports 1988 tax rates as follows: Banking (National Banks) 16.1% Banking (State Banks) 18.9% Financial Services - Misc. 22.3% Doubling life insurance taxes would be patently unfair and cannot be viewed as being in the public interest given the current concern about the health of financial services institutions. The entire life insurance industry opposes this rumored proposal and I urge you to use your influence to avoid its inclusion in the budget agreement. Thank you for your consideration of my views.

September 1, 1990 Mr. John Sununu Chief of Staff Office of the President The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Sununu: I just read in the local newspaper that President Bush is visiting Tallahassee on September 6 for a campaign appearance for Congressman Bill Grant. The purpose of this letter is to let you know that I have never been contacted about or made aware of the President's visit or asked to attend any event while the President is here. As the co-chairman of the President's 1988 Campaign Committee for Tallahassee, Leon County and the Second Congressional District I feel somewhat sighted. I worked hard to help George Bush get elected, was a very early financial supporter of the President and feel that the fact that the President carried every county in a predominantly Democratic Second Congres- sional District means that we did something right. I do want to make it very clear that I do NOT support Bob Martinez for re-election even though I served as co-chairman of his original campaign. He has been the worst Governor in Florida's history and has embarrassed and betrayed the ideals and principles for which the Republican Party stands. I also know from first-hand experience that Bob Martinez is not honest, trustworthy or loyal. With that said, let me re-emphasize my contiued support for George Bush and what you folks are doing in Washington. It is important, however, for you and the President to know that the Florida Republican Party, headed by the minions of Bob Martinez, is alienating many of the President's staunchest supporters and defenders because, like me, they are not towing the line according to the whims and desires of Bob Martinez. This black-listing of the President's supporters by a party apparatus controlled by a selfish and doomed Governor will hurt George Bush in the long run. You must develop a back channel to the Florida Party until Martinez is ousted in November. At that time Van Poole should be replaced by a party statesman of the President's choosing. Please be assured that while my tender sympathies go out to you because of the situation, I am sensitive about the breakdown in manners and protocol and felt that you and the President should know exactly how I feel. I have never been coy when offended. 313 Williams Street, P.O.

Enclosed is some background information on the foundation and an event fact sheet for your review. The funds raised from the Freedom Awards Dinner will help ensure that Jamestown can continue to provide services which not only assist the defectors with whom Jamestown works, but also the Americans who benefit from the defectors' knowledge and perception of the Eastern-bloo in this rapidly changing era. Past Freedom Award recipients have included Max Kampelman, Dick Cheney and Sam Nunn. This year Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick will accept the 1990 Freedom Award. Senator John McCain will be presented with the Jamestown Foundation Distinguished Service Award by Senator Chuck Robb. Additionally, many Jamestown Foundation defectors will attend and be honored at the dinner. 1528 18th Street, N.W.

Sununu: The attached copy of my letter to Sec. Dole, along with my letter to Equity, is self explanatory. Clearly, this is not the week to disturb the President with domestic matters, though I include both him, and you, among "my friends in the Republican Party". I expect to be speaking to Sec. Dole, who is not concerned with F-15 strikes in the Middle East, within a day or so. I may put a call through to you not long after that. I think the Beck Decision is a major Republican issue. Nothing we can do to suck up to the AFL-CIO will get us one dollar or one word of support from them, though we can get hundreds of thousands of votes from their members. Ruck As ever CHARLTON HESTON 2859 COLDWATER CANYON DRIVE, SEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA 90210 August 27, 1990 Dear Madam Secretary: When we spoke in the spring about the importance of communicating to labor unions the significant import of the Beck decision limiting their right to pre-empt their members's dues for political action against their will, you seemed confident that plans were in place to do this behind the scenes, without confronting the full might of the AFL-CIO. I now understand a bill has gone through joint Senate-House conference that emasculates the Supreme Court decision, restoring to the unions the power to determine what part of their spending is "political". Since we spoke, this matter has become personally important to me. As a protest against Actors Equity's action in barring Jonathan Pryce from repeating the role he created in London in MISS SAIGON, a flap so loud it may have been heard on the Beltway, I have limited my full membership in Equity, a union to which I've belonged for 43 years, and declared financial core membership under the Beck decision. Equity, of course, pretends there is no such decision. This is going to be a very public conflict. I have the support of most of the working actors, the National Right to Work Foundation and, I would hope, your Department, as well as my friends in the Republican Party. I would hope to have a chance to speak with you again before this becomes more public than it already is. I'll call you in a day or SO. I enclose my letter to Equity declaring core membership. Best wishes, as ever, C. Gov. John Sununu CHARLTON HESTON 2859 COLDWATER CANYON DRIVE. BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA 90210 August 14, 1990 To the President and Board of the Actors Equity Association of America: Actors Equity was the first union I joined; until now, I've always been proud of my membership. I'm now deeply ashamed. The Council's obscenely racist rejection of Jonathan, Pryce's right to play the part he created in MISS SAIGON revolts me. As actor and director, I thought the idea was to get the best actor for the part, no matter what color, or religion, or politics. I've never spoken to a single working actor who didn't endorse this. When I took THE CAINE MUTINY COURT-MARTIAL to London four years ago, British Equity agreed to allow an all-American cast they were right for the parts. I thought we were breaking down some walls. How naive I was. Indeed, Morgan Freeman this year contributed an extraordinary Petruchio to TAMING OF THE SHREW, but Equity would now prohibit Laurence Olivier from giving us his Othello, widely regarded as the best performance by any actor in any part in this century. Dustin Hoffman gave us a memorable Shylock; does that mean now only Jewish actors can be cast in the role? Because Sean Connery and I are Scots, are we the only actors who get to play Macbeth? What does this have to do with acting? It's not what I marched behind Martin Luther King for. This is blatant racist preference, and the Equity Board should blush for it. I know, you'll have another meeting and crawl: "Ohh, all RIGHT Pryce can play it, for fifty performances. OK!!? A hundred then but that's IT!" I hope Mr. MacIntosh sticks to his guns and never lets his play cross into your jurisdiction. on the day I open in A.R. Gurney's LOVE LETTERS, I hereby resign full membership in Actors Equity and declare my financial core membership granted by the Supreme Court of the United States last year in the Beck decision. I understand I no longer can vote or hold office in Equity, but retain my full health and welfare benefits. In turn, you must supply me with a lower dues rate and a proper accounting of same, deducting the costs of political actions like this vote, with which I disagree. c: Cameron MacIntosh Jonathan Pryce British Equity ID# 169543 THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENCE TRACKING WORKSHEET INCOMING DATE RECEIVED: AUGUST 27, 1990 NAME OF CORRESPONDENT: THE HONORABLE MIKE HAYDEN SUBJECT: WRITES REGARDING THE FORT RILEY MILITARY RESERVATION IN KANSAS ACTION DISPOSITION ROUTE TO: ACT DATE TYPE C COMPLETED OFFICE/AGENCY (STAFF NAME) CODE YY/MM/DD RESP D YY/MM/DD JOHN SUNUNU ORG 90/08/27 / / REFERRAL NOTE: / / / / REFERRAL NOTE: / / / / REFERRAL NOTE: / / / / REFERRAL NOTE: / / / / REFERRAL NOTE: COMMENTS: ADDITIONAL CORRESPONDENTS: MEDIA:L INDIVIDUAL CODES: 2100 CS MAIL USER CODES: (A) (B) (C) *ACTION CODES: *DISPOSITION *OUTGOING * * * *CORRESPONDENCE: * *A-APPROPRIATE ACTION *A-ANSWERED *TYPE RESP=INITIALS * *C-COMMENT/RECOM *B-NON-SPEC-REFERRAL * OF SIGNER * *D-DRAFT RESPONSE *C-COMPLETED * CODE = A * *F-FURNISH FACT SHEET *S-SUSPENDED *COMPLETED = DATE OF * *I-INFO COPY/NO ACT NEC* * OUTGOING * *R-DIRECT REPLY W/COPY * * * *S-FOR-SIGNATURE * * * *X-INTERIM REPLY * * * REFER QUESTIONS AND ROUTING UPDATES TO CENTRAL REFERENCE (ROOM 75,0EOB) EXT-2590 KEEP THIS WORKSHEET ATTACHED TO THE ORIGINAL INCOMING LETTER AT ALL TIMES AND SEND COMPLETED RECORD TO RECORDS MANAGEMENT. 169543 STATE OF KANSAS OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR State Capitol (913) 296-3232 Topeka 66612-1590 1-800-432-2487 TDD# 1-800-992-0152 Mike Hayden Governor FAX# (913) 296-7973 August 14, 1990 The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear John: Again, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for your taking time to travel to Topeka on my behalf. As a follow-up to our conversation, I would like to express my concern surrounding the future mission of the Fort Riley military reservation in Kansas. As you know, Secretary Cheney was in Fort Riley with Senators Dole and Kassebuam several weeks ago to discuss questions regarding additional land acquisition and the future role of the post. The expansion issue will obviously need close review by both the Department of Defense and Congress. Regardless of the direction this particular issue unfolds, Kansas strongly supports retention of the base and its current mission. The federal government has invested over $300 million in the last 10 years in the reservation. Through this investment, an excellent helicopter facility has been constructed; state of the art simulators have been installed; and significant investments have been made in modernizing other equipment and facilities. The location of the reservation in the central United States has obvious military strategic benefits in time of crisis. The terrain of the reservation is also excellent for training exercises. Additionally, the climate in Kansas provides winter/summer conditions for optimal training in all kinds of environments. The Honorable John Sununu August 14, 1990 Page 2 In addition, the cost of living in very reasonable for our soldiers, recreational facilities abound with two major lakes and plenty of area for hunting and fishing, and Kansas is blessed with a clean environment. It is my understanding that the Department of Defense is currently considering additional base closures in light of Defense budget cutbacks. I wanted to relate to you and President Bush the importance Kansas places in Fort Riley.

Fred Houle White House John Morganstern Leonard O'Brien 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Henry Therrien Washington, DC Armand Tourangeau Matt Thibeault, Professional Dear Mr. Sununu: (603) 647-6811 We would like to invite you to hit the first golf ball of our First Annual "Siege Gun" Longest Drive Contest. This will be held at Intervale Country Club in Manchester, New Hampshire on October 13, 1990. The name "Siege Gun" is in honor of Jesse P. Guilford, 1921 U.S. Amateur Champion. Jesse grew up at Intervale and later on was a member of the First "Walker Cup Team" along with Bobby Jones which your own family sponsored. This is strictly an amateur event promoting youth development and the honorable tradition of the game. We will invite our Governor Judd Gregg to participate also so perhaps you can make a small wager on the outcome. Please let me know soon SO that we may prepare a proper welcome. Respectfully, FredHoak G. Fred Houle Contest Director 175 Cypress Street Manchester, NH 03103
