Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Governor Sununu: At some near future date when the Middle East crisis is resolved, we at the Philadelphia Rotary Club would like to present President George Bush with an inscribed Liberty Bell. For this occasion, we would meet at the Union League for our Wednesday luncheon. Incidentally, the President is familiar with our Club since he spoke at our club when he first ran for President. The Liberty Bell would be identical to the one presented to you when you were in Pennsylvania several years ago. For the President, I believe the bell should be gold plated. Our Rotary speaker's time generally runs from 20 minutes to a half hour with a question and answer period, if he so desires. Any Wednesday noon is acceptable with a month's advance notice since we will have to reserve the Union League of Philadelphia. Incidentally, the polls may be incorrect since I have conducted an informal survey along the Main Line which is a Republican stronghold. President Bush still maintains his same strong poll reading. Governor, we likewise extend our invitation to you to be our guest speaker at our Rotary Club at any convenient near future Wednesday noon. We will pay for your transportation. We extend our heartfelt best wishes to you and your family. May you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Kindest regards. Sincerely, John M.Kapp John M.

P.O. Box 365, Pike, New Hampshire 03780 3 DECEMBER, 1990 DEAR CHIEF OF STAFF SUNUNU, I AM WRITING TO YOU ON BEHALF OF THE 50+ MEMBERS OF THE LAKE ARMINGTON ASSOCIATION IN PIERMONT, NH. WE ARE OF THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE EPA HAS REQUESTED ZERO FUNDS FOR FY 1992 UNDER THE CLEAN LAKES PROGRAM. AS YOU WELL KNOW THIS WILL AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE NEW HAMPSHIRE VOLUNTEER LAKE ASSESSMENT PROGRAM PROVIDED FOR BY THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES USING IN PART, FEDERAL FUNDS. THE NHVLAP IS THE MOST EFFICIENT AND ECONOMICAL ALTERNATIVE FOR KEEPING TAB ON THE CONDITION OF OUR LAKES AND PONDS. WITHOUT IT OUR LAKES AND PONDS COULD BECOME POLLUTED THROUGH VARIOUS SOURCES SUCH AS ACID RAIN, SEWERAGE, SEEPAGE OF CONTAMINANTS FROM BELOW GROUND, SURFACE RUNOFF CONTAMINANTS AND OTHERS. IF THESE POLLUTANTS ARE NOT DETECTED IN A TIMELY MANNER WE WILL ALL PAY A HIGHER PRICE IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN OUR LAKES AND PONDS AS ASSETS. I URGE YOU TO USE YOUR OFFICE TO ENSURE THAT REASONABE FUNDS ARE INSERTED INTO THE EPA BUDGET TO SUPPORT THE CLEAN LAKES PROGRAM. I HAVE ALSO WRITTEN TO SENATOR RUDMAN. SINCERELY, Willia-7.Koch.

Mrs. Judie Brown Larry and Nordis Christenson Please talk Mr. Bush out of waging war over Kuwait. Jerome F. Coniker Hussein probably wouldn't be there if Mr. Bush's State Patricia B.

Furthermore, when the troops were first sent over, the Germain Grisez fear was that the American public would grow weary of blockade James Hitchcock tactics. Now it seems that Mr. Bush is the most impatient of E. Michael Jones all. We contained Russia for 45 years before she admitted Msgr. George A. Kelly defeat; we can contain Hussein for a much smaller time and he Ronald D. Lawler, O.F.M.Cap. or his successors will sue for peace. Mike & Rita L.

Alexander Joseph Bartlett Dear John, Preston C. Bassett Ewa Bielski Richard Bolling Peter Grace, at this afternoon's Press Club Alan Boyd luncheon, was asked the following question: "Do Carleton P. Burrill William Carey you feel that the Senior Executive Service, which Douglass Cater is scheduled to get a pay raise in the near L. Shelton Clarke, Jr. future, should be getting salary increases which William G. Colman Barber B. Conable, Jr. would bring them up to an average of about Jack T. Conway $100,000 a piece?" John J. Corson Glenn Cunningham Thomas B. Curtis He replied to the effect that he would have Michael K. Dexter no problems with the pay raise, but he would make John N. Erlenborn it only on the condition that their pension John J. Flynt, Jr. Robert Giaimo benefits be comparable to what they would get if Calhoun Howard they were in the private sector - and he Walter A. Judd, M.D. mentioned specifically that under present Philip P. Klutznick Hyman Krieger statutes their pension benefits were two or three Richard D. Lamm times as generous as in the private sector. William H. Lane H. James Lawler Leonard Lesser When President Bush was asked by a Newsweek Malcolm A. MacIntyre reporter, in his first interview after he had Chester Mize taken office, about a proposed 50 percent John S. Monagan Richard Nevin Congressional pay raise he replied that he was James J. O'Leary "somewhat appalled" to read in the Washington D.C. Orrick Times about the pension implications of the Otis Pike Rita Ricardo-Campbell proposed Congressional pay raise. The same Vernon Ramberg situation applies for the Senior Executive John Rhodes Service as it does for the Congress. Elliot L. Richardson Michael Riley George C. Sawyer Our Committee, The National Committee on Eric Senunas Public Employee Pension Systems (PEPS), has as Raymond Shafer Blackwell N. Shelley, Jr. you know been concerned about the pension Henry P. Smith III liabilities ever since we were founded back in Francis R. Spaniola 1980 or 1981. (For your information I am Elmer B. Staats Joseph C. Swidler enclosing some copies of pertinent earlier Sid Taylor information outlining my personal views. You James Webb may recall that when you were speaking in Nancy Wilson Suzanne Woolsey Plymouth several years ago, that I asked you Charles Zwick personally about your views on the federal pension system .) In any event, the enclosed copy of a rapporteur's notes, may that refresh your mind as to the salient features of our are being distributed by the National Economist Club, committees concerns about the pension system. You will be speaking to the Press Club on December 11- and I would assume that you will be getting the same kind of questions as those which Peter Grace was asked. I would hope that in as much as the Executive Order has not yet been published that you could find some way to provide the pay raise but ask in typical private sector fashion that they only provide full COLAS on the first $1,000 a month on an individuals federal pension income or $1,500 for an eligible married couple. (In arriving at this figure you would take into consideration all federal pension income, including Social Security. PEPS settled on this figure because it is the maximum Social Security benefit for someone who has earned the maximum all of his lifetime.) The country would be with you on this issue - and it could show that the President recognizes the need for prudence in the matter of pension benefits. (I have enclosed a November 24th Op-Ed piece which I wrote for the Los Angeles Times, and I am also enclosing a copy of a Rapporteur's report from a speech I made at the National Economists Club a few weeks ago. Sincerely Hasting Hastings (Keith Co-Chairman Ps. I am also enclosing a copy of an article that was written by Professor Alan Krueger at Princeton - and I know that amongst pension experts throughout the country his views are shared by practically everyone who is at all aware of the long range liabilities of COLAs.

Bush 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. 20500 Attn: Chief of Staff John H. Sununu Dear Sir: Several months ago my son, Frank, Jr, wrote a Flag Song titled "Red, White and Blue God Bless You. " It has been heard over 1200 radio stations in United States as well as in Canada and far away as Guam. I am a staunch supporter of President Bush. If it wasn't for brave men like him, I would have died in a Japanese POW camp in Manchurian during World War II. Attached is some correspondence with Chairman Lee Atwater and his staff in which I have suggested that my son's song, "Red, White, and Blue God Bless You" be used to help Republican candidates this November. I am also suggesting that "Red, White and Blue God Bless You" be played over loudspeakers at the demonstrations which have begun to spring up against President Bush's efforts to stop any further aggresion by Iraq, and to drown out these draft dodging Vietnam leaders in their tirades against Presi- dent Bush. This past weekend the news media devoted conside- rable attention to these demonstrators. I realize the impasse over the budget, the civil rights legis- lation, etc., are top priority issues to be resolved. However, we do not have a draft. If we do go to war we will not have the volunteers we need to fight Iraq. The anti-war demonstrations started this weekend. They must be countered every way way possible. Whenever there is a demonstration and the American Flag is burned, my son's Flag Song should be played to make these demonstrators ashamed of their disloyalty to the United States. I do hope whoever on your staff reads this letter will bring it to your attention. Sincerely yours, Frank a. Kazerlki Frank A. Kazerski Enclosures P.O. Box 391 Imperial Beach, CA 92032 October 22, 1990 Mr. Steve Brooks Republican National Committee 310 First Street S.E. Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Brooks: Reference is made to our telephone conversation this morning. Enclosed is a cassette containing the lyrics of the Flag Song my son Frank, Jr. wrote together with a fully-orchestrated studio rendition directed by Disneyland musician Dana Seufert. Over 50 radio stations from Canada to Guam had phoned him at his home in Tustin, California, to have him sing acapella solos of his Flag Song, "Red White and Blue God Bless You. It has been overwhelmingly received by the average grass roots patriotic American, as well as the liberals in Boston, Mass. I am a retired U.S. Army Warrant Officer, a survivor of the World War II "Bataan Death March" and a Japanese POW for 40 months. I recall an excerpt from a smuggled-in Japanese news- paper translated by Col. S. Wood read secretly to us in a POW camp in Manchuria during the battle for Okinawa: "The fury of the American attack was such, that mountains turned into valleys and valleys turned into mountains." Saturday, on local and national television networks, the draft resistors from Vietnam and their new followers, were televised trying to foment an anti-war, anti-President Bush's efforts to resolve Iraq's aggresion in Kuwait. I believe that the Republican party should meet these demons- trators immediately head on to lessen their impact on public opinion. My son, Frank, Jr, with his simple Flag Song has stirred the patriotism of the average American throughout United States just by singing his acapella solos. In a few days his song will be heard by short wave broadcast from a transmitter owned by Mr. Don Otis, former Lear Jet Co. executive in Beirut, Lebanon. He is the leader of the Voice of Hope Broadcast Christian Group, which has been in operation since 1979. In October 1989 terrorists killed five of his em- ployees and damaged the transmitter during an attack. Mr. Otis' daily 3 hour broadcast covers the entire mid-East in- cluding Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Northern Africa, etc. When I first heard the orchestrated rendition of the song, it reminded me of the barefooted, ragged soldiers marching off to battle the British during the revolutionary war in step to the fifes and drums. I am of the opinion that it is a stirring melody, one that could be used to introduce the Republican candidates seeking election. It would be a reminder to those who opposed Presi- dent Bush's legislative efforts to outlaw flag burning, that the American Flag is a symbol of how the United States of America was born in a war against tyranny, just as we today under the leadership of President Bush have drawn a line on the sands of Saudi Arabia. A few bars of the melody, with the fifes and drums, could be played, and the candidate beside the Flag could begin the rally with "Red, White and Blue God Bless You" and then have a celebrity or the candidate sing the first verse, or use my son's tape recording. The Willie Horton TV spot had a terrific impact on the American voter, so much so it destroyed Dukakis. This Flag Song might have the same effect on these new demonstrators, and their their Vietnam War draft dodging leaders. President is a World War II combat pilot, and represents the best in America, a patriotic rich man's son, who offered his life in defending the principles for which this country stands. If it was not for the bravery of men like President Bush during World War II, we would have not won the war with Japan, and I would not be here typing this letter to you. Sincerely yours, Joank C.

Sununu, It was good seeing you some months ago at the NYC Police Department's Holy Name Society Annual Breakfast. As a co-dais guest I enjoyed your warm presentation before the membership. On Sunday January 20, 1991, we will be commemorating the New York showing of the United States Marshals, Bicentennial Exhibit, at Federal Hall, NYC. And I would be honored if you would accept the enclosed invitation to attend. This particular exhibit has special historical significance, in that the first 13 U.S. Marshals were sworn in over two hundred years ago, on the very site Federal Hall now stands. This is why the exhibit has been entitled America's Star: "Coming Home." Invitations were also sent to: The President; Chief Justice William Rehnquist; Attorney General Richard Thornburgh; Chairmen of Federal, and NYS, House and Senate Committees on Judiciary, and Related Agencies; Chief Justices from the Federal, State, and NYC Benches; Top Federal, State, and local law enforcement officials; Community leaders; CEOs of major corporations; Governor Cuomo; Mayor Dinkins; The press and media. If you have any questions regarding this event I would be happy to answer them, and may be reached at the above telephone number, or by writing to the above address. Please accept my warmest personal regards to you and your family for a happy and healthy holiday season. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely Leslie J.

Washington, D.C. 20520 Dear John: I wish to express my deepest reservations concerning American policy in the Middle East, in particular with respect to the recent buildup of American forces in the Gulf. It is categorically essential for there to be a political solution to the Iraq/Kuwait crisis. War will be devastating to everyone. War will in the short and long run be detrimental to the United States' interests in the Middle East. A war will create a worldwide recession, if not depression, and in my view war simply cannot take place for these and many other compelling reasons. A political solution must include but may not be limited to (i) withdrawal by Iraq from Kuwait, (ii) direct Iraqi/Kuwaiti negotiations under the auspices of the United Nations, (iii) reduction of the American forces in Saudi Arabia, (iv) the establishment of a United Nations peace-keeping force made up principally of soldiers from the Arab countries, (v) application of all United Nations resolutions as they apply to the Middle East, including but not limited to the withdrawal of Israel from the West Bank, Gaza, Southern Lebanon and the Golan Heights, (vi) the withdrawal of all Syrian and Palestinian forces from Lebanon, and (vii) the establishment of a United Nations conference for the purpose of addressing and resolving the differences in the region. A clear reading of history tells us that linkage of related issues is essential in the overall resolution to a John Sununu, Chief of Staff : November 19, 1990 Page 2 crisis of this magnitude. It really is time that the United States applied principle uniformly in the Middle East and that we not have one standard for Arabs and another for Israel. Clearly what Saddam did was wrong. He is willing to negotiate to resolve the crisis. May I respectfully suggest that every possible effort be made to resolve the Gulf crisis by political means and that under no circumstances should the United States engage in a war with Iraq. If the United States is com- mitted to a peaceful political solution to the crisis, such will be achieved. Thank you very much. Very truly yours, Paul R.

It was the best 1 minute bit on the problem as I have heard. I particularly liked the "3 bumper sticker" point.

Sununu Chief of Staff White House, West Wing Washington, D.C. 20015 Dear Governor Sununu: I hope the enclosed draft of the latest edition of the North Dumpling Times finds you in good humor (or at least, compared to other national rags such as the Washington Post, puts you there.) We are trying to raise funds for both the renovation of the Pandora Building, as seen in the background of the bond, and for Science Enrichment Encounters. This edition of the Times features the "Foreign Aid Bond" from North Dumpling and would be used solely as a promotional piece for their sale. We have found that personalized bonds, with the name of both the giver (underwriter) and receiver (bond holder), seem to have a great deal of appeal, even more than pet rocks and other "gimmicky" holiday gifts. Particularly because all of the money goes to FIRST, many local people have already bought bonds. I'm confident that we could get lots of very positive news coverage with this story, but we're reluctant to release this story until we're sure that neither you, nor the President, find it in bad taste. In fact, you will notice that we have left a space in the article, in case you or the President would like to give us a real quote to use. This hopefully will minimize the time and effort requested of you, while maximizing the impact of an endorsement, of FIRST, even one as tangential as this one. Feel free to adjust the space to accommodate anything you are willing to say, and please be assured that we will never use it out of context. It would be particularly valuable to "publicize" the story as early as possible to capture the Christmas gift market. Anything you're willing to do would be greatly appreciated. On a much more serious note, we had what I believe was a very productive meeting with Dr. Bromley, who seems much too practical, logical and genuinely concerned to have such a lofty position. Dr. Roland Schmitt is trying to arrange for us to present the concept of FIRST at the next annual meeting of the Council on Competitiveness (he is on the executive committee). As Dr. Schmitt and Dr. Bromley are already Technology Center 340 Commercial Street Manchester, NH 03101 (603) 666-3906 Governor John H. Sununu November 19, 1990 Page 2 friends, we would very much like to invite Dr. Bromley to participate in the meeting. Also, since the meeting is in Washington, perhaps you could also attend and participate. As we learn more about the event, I will forward the news to Ms. Kennedy. Once again, please be assured that there is no disrespect in the humor of the Bonds or in the newspaper we want to use to sell them. Sometimes serious issues are best addressed in a humorous way. We hope to raise both money and public awareness for our project and very much appreciate your indulgence.

Kenney, M.D., F.A.C.S. Chief of Surgery November 7, 1990 Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Dr. Sununu: I am writing to solicit your help in promoting a favorable outcome on the H.R. 1602, the "Trauma Care Systems Planning and Development Act". As you are doubtless aware, this legislation will provide financial incentives to states to plan, develop and implement regional trauma care systems. Trauma, which should best be thought of as a disease, is the third leading cause of death in the United States following heart disease and cancer. Moreover, it is the leading cause of death of U.S. citizens under the age of forty-five and the economic losses and lost productivity engendered by trauma on a yearly basis clearly exceed one hundred and thirty to one hundred and forty billion dollars. Historically depicted as the "neglected epidemic of the twentieth century", trauma has recently attracted more attention as a disease which is largely preventable. In addition, when injured, patients have a much better outcome when they are treated and managed in appropriate trauma care systems. As yet, very few of the states have effective systems in place; in fact, several states and/or counties have begun to abandon their trauma commitments because of impaired funding. I maintain a vacation residence in Ashland, New Hampshire, and am constantly refreshed by the great natural beauty of the surroundings. However, like much of the United States the rural nature of the state lends itself to potential catastrophes in trauma care that an organized trauma care system would begin to alleviate. Every time I see a severe automobile accident on Route 93 or hear of a boating accident on Squam Lake or Lake Winnepesaukee, I wonder about the emergency medical system response in the Lakes Region, and wonder whether or not an individual injured in rural New Hampshire has as good a chance of survival as an individual with a similar injury in downtown Boston. Sadly, I feel the answer is "no". Surgeons are trained to examine the risk versus benefit for 617-524-5132 Allandale at Centre Street, Boston, MA 02130 they may undertake In a time of thing budgetary for any potential legislation which may come pressure, it is clearly prudent to do same the President. In this case, I believe the merits of this before legislation and its relatively small cost clearly outweigh any risks to be taken with the Federal budget in passing it; non-medical economic losses from trauma alone certainly justify a vigorous attempt on the part of the Federal Government to foster and encourage the development of appropriate care for trauma, which will lead to a diminution in these losses and an overall improvement in economic conditions. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely PaRL Pardon Kenney, M.D./F.A.C.S.S.

I have been in a number of these meetings over the years and I must say that our meeting today was, by far, the most productive. Your personal participation made a major difference. As the leader of the nation's largest association of protestant schools and colleges I was particularly heartened by your report on the child care bill. Dr. John Holmes, my assistant in Washington, D.C., tells me your personal efforts were a major factor in protecting the interests of our religious schools. Please accept our sincere thanks, we are grateful indeed. I know it is a long shot to ask but it would be great if President Bush could speak to the 8,000 Christian school teachers at the 41st Annual ACSI Convention held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California, Monday or Tuesday, November 25 or 26, 1991. If given adequate time, we would totally adjust the convention program to fit the President's schedule on those dates. We would prefer that the President speak at either of the morning general sessions. The Presidents in the past have spoken to Catholic education conferences but never to evangelical school meetings. So the President's remarks at our largest Christian school convention would go a long way toward mending evangelical fences. If President Bush accepts our invitation we would like to present him with our annual Religious Freedom Award for his timely efforts on the child care legislation and the ADA bill. "That in all things He might have pre-eminence" Col. 1:18 Page Governor October Governor 30, Sununu 1990 Incidentally, my daughter Cheryl Kienel is a part of your staff at the White is the Assistant Director in the Office of Media Relations. She is a strong evangelical, but I assure you she does not identify with those who feel discriminated against as reported by Pat Robertson yesterday. Quite frankly, she was embarrassed by the report, as were most of our group at the meeting. Cheryl has the highest regard for you and, of course, for the President. I was particularly impressed with your offer to talk personally with us if ever we need to express our concerns for evangelical causes. I may do that from time to time. Again, thank you for your gracious hospitality today, it was a memorable day for evangelicals! Sincerely, ASSOCIATION OF CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS INTERNATIONAL Paul Dr. Paul A. a.

The Partnership that is being formed is between our school and Digital Equipment Corporation. I feel that this Partnership is worthy of your recognition for many reasons. As you are painfully aware, the Northeast Region is in the midst of a economic depression, with an anxiety level that is at fever pitch. Even as we struggle with this problem, employees of Digital Equipment Corporation have become involved in beginning their own volunteer program, getting involved in the education of children. Also, technology is a way of life, and we hope that through this Partnership the students of Main Dunstable, Nashua, and perhaps the entire state of New Hampshire will benefit from the exciting endeavor and assist education into the technological twenty-first century. I know that you would be especially interested In this endeavor, as you played such an Important role getting technology into the classroom, when you were governor of New Hampshire. As we are a newly formed Partnership we realize that the possibilities are limitless for ourselves, but more importantly for the students of New Hampshire. I appreciate any consideration you can give to this worthy Partnership. Susanne Sincerely, F.V. Kaye Ms. Susanne F. V.

JAMES 11. KINNEAR PRESIDENT 2000 WESTCHESTER AVENU E CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER WHITE PLAINS. N.Y. 10650 October 22, 1990 Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: We at Texaco are firmly committed to helping improve our nation's air quality and have urged that cost-effective control strategies be adopted. In this regard, there are provisions in the amendments to the Clean Air Act currently before the Congress which will impose many billions of dollars of additional costs on American consumers with unproven and perhaps little, if any, benefit. In addition, these provisions can significantly weaken our U.S. refining industry by reducing capacity and increasing imports of gasoline and heating oil at a time when our nation is already heavily dependent on imported crude oil and products. I am referring to the mandates to manufacture reformulated gasoline for certain areas of the country currently in non-compliance with Clean Air standards. These provisions were added by floor amendments in both the House and Senate and require the manufacture of emission-reducing gasolines by 1995 and 2000 which cannot be made in existing refineries and which many in our industry doubt can ever be made. Yet these are the only gasolines that will be permitted to be sold in ozone non-attainment areas. In addition, gasolines with a prescribed oxygenate content must be available in 40 cities by 1992 when the worldwide supplies of such oxygenates very likely will not be adequate to meet such demands within the time period and procedures prescribed. There were no House and Senate Committee hearings or review which would provide a basis for determining: (1) if such fuels could ever be made; (2) at what cost; (3) within what period of time; (4) what emission reduction can be achieved; and, (5) whether alternative control strategies could provide greater cost-effectiveness and cost benefits. The results of the unprecedented oil/auto research program will be available in early 1991 and should then provide a scientific basis to address some of these issues. In these circumstances, to mandate, as the bill does, specific fuel components without requiring feasibility studies by EPA or flexibility to adjust the compliance dates or the emission-reduction standards on the basis of subsequent information is gambling with the U.S. economy and our energy security. Careful consideration must be given as to how the U.S., if necessary, can protect itself against such a potentially gasolines. dangerous, costly and disruptive experiment with yet undeveloped As a major national and international refiner with a state-of-the-art refinery system and long experience in the refining business, Texaco feels a responsibility to advise the Congress that it has seen no research which indicates the mandated fuels can be available within the inflexible deadlines imposed by the bill. If this legislation is adopted, we urge that an ongoing monitoring system with periodic public reports be established so that the Congress and the American people will have timely notice of any need to consider a mid-course correction to achieve a cost-effective solution if this experiment begins to indicate it is becoming a costly failure. Texaco will use its very best efforts in an attempt to develop and produce the gasolines mandated by this legislation. If any refiner can find a way to successfully manufacture and nationally market such fuels, we believe it will be Texaco. Nevertheless, because of the serious risks posed by this technology-forcing experiment, we feel a responsibility to call the above facts to your attention.

ANDREW YOUNG Vice President, International Affairs HARRY BELAFONTE I have enclosed a copy of the Federal Vice President Commission's report to the President and the JOHN COX Secretary Congress on the results of the Fifth National Holiday along with a copy of the Commission's most recent newsletter. We are currently completing our plans for the Sixth National Holiday on January 21, 1991 and we request your assistance in encouraging the President to schedule a trip to Atlanta and the King Center during National King Week. A copy of the tentative schedule is enclosed and we would be delighted to have him and Barbara attend any of the events during King Week (January 17 - 21, 1991). This invitation is also extended to you, as we would also be honored by your presence. Previously we wrote the President and asked for a Proclamation Ceremony to be arranged at the White House on Monday, January 14, 1991. This scheduling would dovetail into the other Commission activities in Washington. There will be the Commission's Annual Meeting and Recognition Luncheon, 12 noon to 3:00 p.m. at the Supreme Court to be followed by a Diplomatic Reception hosted by Secretary Baker at the State Department. Again, we would be honored to have you attend these D.C. events. We have been most fortunate to have had the strong support of the President and his Administration in our efforts to make the King THE MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

The Holiday has evolved into more than an American Holiday, one that is recognized and celebrated around the world by free people and has become one of inspiration and encouragement for those seeking freedom. On another note, former President Ronald Reagan has been most supportive of efforts to encourage a paid Arizona State holiday in honor of Dr. King. We know that our brothers and sisters in New Hampshire would welcome your support in their efforts. I understand that the New Hampshire legislature will meet in January of 1991 and that a King Holiday bill has already been introduced for their deliberation. Your friendship and support is vital and we are grateful for it.

Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: Industry's knowledge of and thinking about synfuels has evolved substantially from the late 1970s, and we think it is time to take another look at how development of these technologies can contribute to national energy strategy. For this purpose, we are assembling a group of representatives of major corporations involved in synthetic fuels development for a roundtable discussion on Tuesday, November 27, 1990, at 9:00 a.m., at the Hyatt Regency. on Capitol Hill. Our discussions will draw on lessons learned from past government attempts to develop a U.S. synthetic fuels capability, and from the results of research, development and commercial demonstration conducted by the Department of Energy and industry during the past decade. Admiral Watkins and Director Darman have been invited to have representatives attend and we extend a cordial invitation to you to suggest additional representatives of the Bush Administration whom you would like to have attend these discussions. Please send those names to the attention of Patricia Lotridge (898-0711). Sincerely yours, Michael S. Koleda President Attachment 1225 Eye Street, N.W.

There will be similar increases in litiga- tion, overtaxing our already stressed judicial system. Due process will be compromised by excessive delays in rulings. Provisions currently exist whereby significant civil penal- ties can be levied and other punitive measures can be taken for violations (e.g. OSHA's "egregious violation" policy and MSHA's Pattern of Violations rule). Criminal penalty sanctions have been adequately addressed by the Crime Control Act of 1984. Inclusion of the proposed expansion of the scope of criminal sanction by the budget process is unacceptable. There is cause for concern that inspectors, and others, may be motivated or establish objectives based on revenue tar- gets. The Occupational Safety and Health (OSH Act) does not man- date minimum penalties, and doing so will be counterproduc- tive to positive accident prevention programs. And most important: There will be no increased contribution to employee safety and health; on the contrary, diversion of finite resources will reduce protections. The enclosed information elaborates on these and other important points. We believe that increasing the maximum civil penalties by amending the OSH Act and the MSH Act through the budget process is wholly inappropriate. This action will not enhance employee safety and health; it will be detrimental to effective programs of accident reduction. We hope you will support this position and advise Congress of your objections. Thank you for your consideration of this important matter. Sincerely, John President A. 9.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear John: I am writing to express my strong support for Michael R. Darby, currently Undersecretary for Economic Affairs at the Department of Commerce, to fill the vacant seat as Vice-Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. I worked with Mr. Darby during his tenure as Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy in the Reagan Treasury on the capital gains tax issue. I was impressed not only with his expertise, but with his strong philosophical commitment to growth-oriented economics. As you know, I have been one of only a handful of Senators who have been genuinely concerned about the conduct of the Fed's monetary policy. I firmly believe that in order to insure long-term economic growth without inflation, the Fed must pursue objective monetary policies and procedures. Dr. Darby's writings on monetary policy indicate that he shares this point of view. Given his experience and qualifications, I believe Michael R.

SEPTEMBER 17, 1990 "A Progressive-Conservative Prescription for a New War on Poverty" In the 1980's, the American economy experienced an unprecedented expansion, generated over 21 million new jobs -- more jobs than Europe, Canada and Japan combined -- and created more than 4 million new business enterprises. While the Nation's gross national product grew by 26.3 percent between 1983 and 1989, Federal tax revenues expanded by 35.7 percent, twice as fast as they did in the 1970s. Federal income taxes paid by the top 1 percent of taxpayers surged by over 80 percent - from $51 billion in 1981 to $92 billion in 1987. The Reagan-Bush Administration rediscovered the classical prescription for non-inflationary economic growth; i.e. sound money, income tax rate reductions across the board, and reductions in the growth of government spending and regulation. As a result, the entire world was lifted to a higher vision of what democratic capitalism could achieve in creating wealth and opportunity for people. Indeed, by decade's end, the leader of the socialist world -- the Soviet Empire -- had become an economic basketcase.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: John We support continued efforts by Congress and the Administration to reduce the federal budget deficit. We remain deeply concerned, however, that members of the budget summit are considering an energy tax on electricity as a means to raise revenue. A recent survey conducted by Cambridge Reports/Research International indicates that Americans overwhelmingly oppose energy taxes. The survey asked 1,250 adult Americans: "In general, would you favor or oppose raising energy taxes on things like natural gas or electricity if the increased revenues were targeted specifically for reducing the federal budget deficit?" In response, 70 percent said they opposed energy taxes; 26 percent said they favored energy taxes; and four percent did not have an opinion. We believe the public will not support energy taxes because energy is a necessity--not a luxury item. Taxing necessities will hurt low- and fixed-income individuals the most as they spend a higher percentage of their income for these necessary energy services. The regressive nature of an energy tax on electricity is becoming widely understood by these low- and fixed-income individuals. In demonstration of this strong public sentiment, a number of consumer organizations have joined with EEI in opposition to energy taxes. These groups include: National Consumers League, The National Women's Political Caucus, the National Council of Jewish Women, The National Council of La Raza, the League of United Latin American Citizens and the National The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners. The Honorable John H. Sununu September 26, 1990 Page Two Energy taxes are likely to weaken the U.S. economy. Such a tax will be inflationary and increase the costs of U.S. goods and services to consumers. An increase in the cost of domestic goods would place the U.S. at a competitive disadvantage in the international marketplace. This problem is heightened by the Middle East crisis resulting in further inflationary prices on the U.S. economy. I have enclosed a copy of the survey's results for your information. Energy taxes lack public support because they are unwarranted for economic and public reasons. They are regressive, inflationary and would have severe adverse effects on the economy and U.S. competitiveness. We strongly urge you to reject an energy tax as part of the budget summit agreement.

Recently, The Washington Post, LA Times, and Chicago Sun Times have publicly admitted to gross bias in favor of the "pro-choice" position. U.S. News editor, John Leo, as much as threw down the gauntlet to the media to start being more fair on the abortion issue. New Dimensions accepted this challenge, and did a thorough investigation of America's $500 million abortion industry. What we came up with, "Pro-Choice 1990: Skeletons in the Closet," is being widely called the most hard-hitting and gripping expose of America's abortion industry to appear in the media in a 1 ug time.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: I was enthused to hear of the possibility that Dr. Bernadine Healy might be nominated as the next Director of the National Institutes of Health. I know her well, and I can think of no one in the country who is better qualified. You are already aware of her credentials, including her recent presidency of the American Heart Association. I would add that while she is highly conservative personally, she has won respect across the board because she listens well and has the gift of being able to persuade even the most intransigent opponents with her sound reasoning. Bernadine is a rare mixture of clinician and researcher--infused with a natural gift for policy. In developing the state-of-the-art cardiac care center at Johns Hopkins she was Bernadine Healy the clinician. In developing a world-class research program at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation she was Bernadine Healy the researcher. And I can tell you from first-hand experience from her three years with me in the Office of Science and Technology Policy, she is highly effective in areas of biomedical policy and did a remarkable job on issues that ranged from Senator Gore's crusade against biotechnology to teaching President Reagan about neurobiology. Needless to say, I would give her my highest recommendation. Sincerely yours, Jay Hegivorth G. A. Keyworth, II Herman Kahn Center P.O.

This banquet will also commemorate fifty years of the Los Angeles Police Department Reserve Corps. Reserve Officers are public spirited citizens who unselfishly volunteer their time to "Protect and Serve" the citizens of Los Angeles while still maintaining their regular employment. These "Points of Light" come from all walks of life to work side by side with regular police officers in combating crime on a daily basis. The Los Angeles Police Reserve Foundation extends a cordial invitation to President George Bush to attend the awards banquet to be held Friday, March 15, 1990, at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott, 5855 West Century Boulevard, Los Angeles. I hope the President's schedule will allow him to attend this function.

President: John A. Knebel The American Mining Congress is particu- Vice President & Secretary: larly opposed to new energy taxes.

Directors Robert H. Quenon, St. Louis Calvin A. Campbell, Jr., Chicago New energy taxes will play havoc with the Harry M. Conger, San Francisco domestic mining industry. Mining by its very Richard G.

Petrina, Vancouver BC J. Burgess Winter, San Manuel AZ newly mined gold. A tax on jewelry will disrupt Leonard R. Judd, Phoenix this segment of the industry and would do nothing Peter B. Lilly, Oklahoma City lan L White-Thomson, Los Angeles to reduce the deficit. In fact, a House Ways and Glen A. Barton, Peoria Means Committee report discussing an earlier repeal Robert F. Calman, Philadelphia Karl E. Elers, Houston of certain excise taxes agreed with this conclusion S. O. Ogden, Lexington stating that: Michel Schneider-Maunoury, Stamford Robert M. Smith, Toronto Marc F. Wray, Pittsburgh Robert P. Larkins, Houston Thomas W. Garges Jr., Indiana PA Sir lan MacGregor, New York t N. T. Camicia, Greenwich t Charles F. Barber, New York Ralph E. Bailey, Stamford t Immediate Past Chairman t Honorary These selective excise taxes tend to reduce sales and therefore reduce income and jobs in industries that pro- duce the taxed goods. In these ways, selective excise taxation results in arbitrary and undesirable distortion in allocation of resources and in this manner interferes with the free play of our competitive market. Clearly this is not a desirable result and an approach destined to fail. While the goal of deficit reduction is important, it is equally important how it is accomplished. Energy taxes that strike at the heart of the nation's production base and excise taxes on selected industries should not be part of the solution. Sincerely, John John A. Knebel 7.

My dear Sir: Seeing you on the TV (CNN) this past weekend from Helsinki reminded me that in August last year you responded to my request to send an autographed photograph of President Bush to Olga Vähäsalo of Helsinki. (My assertion in that letter was in error about her having been in Lubyanka Prison.) I forwarded the photograph to her and then a year ago next week, we were married in Helsinki. I have to tell you that she made many copies of the autographed photo and sent them to her friends in Riga. It created quite a stir. And it created an even greater stir when she sent a copy to her father who is a retired Soviet Army colonel living in Kaliningrad. We were able to get her into this country in January of this year. And in April she enlisted in the Army Reserve and is now on active duty at Fort Lee, Virginia and is trying very hard to make a career of service. "I want to defense America" is her reason for volunteering. "It is the best!" Everyone tells her that she is the most motivated person that they have ever met in the service. A quick glance at her enclosed vitae will show why. All of those encounters with the KGB, her time in a Soviet mental hospital for refusing to conform to the system (back in the early 1970s) shows why she has such feelings for the privilege of being in this country. At the moment she is in the hospital at Fort Lee where they are repairing some damage she suffered in her efforts to out-do everyone else during basic training. She completes her advanced training at Fort Lee about the 19th and I will join her there to see the sights in the District. I would very much like to be able to introduce her to the President sometime late in that week. I am informed that he sometimes will take a minute and shake hands with visitors. How can it be ar- ranged? Can your office help? It would not only please her, very much, but of course, if we can arrange such an opportunity for her, she will think even more of us. She is trying to get into the Army's jump school because I went there during the Korean War and she thinks that being in the AIRBORNE is the next best thing to being able to walk on water. Of course, she thinks that the President can already walk on water. If we can arrange for her to met the President I can assure you that we will be even higher on her list of heroes than we are now. Thank you for your help. I hope to hear from your office as to whether we should even hope for such an opportunity. Sincerely yours, W. Knecht WILLIAM L. KNECHT Encl. 1).

The reception will be September 26th from 5 - 7 p.m. at The American Cafe, 227 Massachusetts Avenue, N.E., Washington, D.C. CAGW co-chairmen J. Peter Grace and Jack Anderson will join me in saluting Secretary Kemp for fighting waste, fraud and abuse at HUD and for implementing several Grace Commission recommendations -- specifically the appointment of a chief financial officer at HUD and dramatic improvements in portfolio and cash management to restore fiscal responsibility to the troubled department. Unfortunately, Washington has not produced many heros in the battle against waste; Secretary Kemp is one, and CAGW is very proud to recognize his efforts. I hope you will join us in applauding his good works and encouraging others to follow suit. Please return the enclosed reservation form as soon as possible, or call Joan Trumps of my staff at 467-5300 to confirm you attendance. I personally look forward to seeing you September 26th.

Kilroy, Jr. President September 11, 1990 Governor John Sununu Chief of Staff White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: I was very disappointed to hear both Mr. Scowcroft and you state before the American public on television this past Sunday that simply having Saddam Hussein return to the pre-August 2, status quo is an acceptable goal at this time. The thought that by positioning sufficient material in Saudi Arabia and having other Arab nations be "committed" to future action is a sufficient deterrent to Saddam Hussein or the Iraqi military is unbelievable. What will we do when a humiliated Iraq has developed a nuclear capability or increased chemical weapons capability? The world is watching and most importantly is almost unanimously in support of defeating Saddam Hussein. Politically, I can't see this country supporting a future deployment of troops if we are unwilling to take the steps to remove the cancer this time. A military action with Iraq will be painful, so is surgery to remove a cancerous tumor - but the consequences of dealing with this problem later, like allowing cancer to spread, will be much more painful and costly in the long run. Governor Sununu, we've come so far, let us not lose our resolve now. Saddam Hussein must be removed from power and the Iraqi military machine must be sufficiently diminished so as to not pose an offensive threat to its neighbors. 2250 EAST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY / EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA 90245 / (213) 772-1193 TELEX 66-4489 KILROY INDUSTRIES September 11, 1990 Page 2 All too frequently we have had to settle for negotiated settlements that proved to be strategic defeats for the U.S. and world interests.

The purpose of the meeting is to present you with a global overview of the program. I would be accompanied by Dennis Picard or, if that is not desirable, Walter Stowell, Senior Vice President, of our Equipment Division. The time and locale of the meeting would be, totally, at your discretion and will be accomplished within whatever time constraints that you impose. I have already been able to extract a substantial dedication of the program funding for my NH initiative program. I am making significant headway on other programs as well. Because of his confidence in your engineering competence and aptitude, I am convinced that Dennis will not be satisfied until he feels that you have been technically briefed on the program. Accordingly, it is the subject of daily review between him and me. I would, personally, appreciate it if you could provide me with a forum, however abbreviated, in that regard. Thank you for considering it. Sincerely, G. J. Khoury cc: Jacqueline A.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Soluy Governor: I received a call from Anthony Athanas, proprietor of Anthony's Pier IV, this week. Anthony had recently visited his native Albania where he met with the new president Ramiz Alia. Alia is in the process of restoring a democratic government to Albania after years of a neo-stalinist regime under former president Enver Hoxha. Free elections will soon be held in Albania for the first time in years. As a prominent US businessman, Athanas has been active in trying to reconcile the past diplomatic differences between Albania and the US. He has "met with" (unspecified) State Department officials in that regard. Anthony, has requested that I com- municate, to you, his profound interest towards achieving that end. On October 1st, Anthony will be hosting President Alia at an Albanian/ American reception at his restaurant. If feasible, please forward a letter (similar to the attached sample) for Anthony to read during the program. As you know, Anthony is a reliable, supportive friend. If you can fulfill the request without potential "backlash," I'm sure he would be extremely grateful. Thank you! Sincerely, OEORE G. J.

Sununu, chief of staff The White House (please route to his person) Washington, DC 20000 Dear John: Hurray for your recent world class act. I am ready for a home State class act. Do you remember when you wrote the letter to the Secretary of the MIT Class of 1961 that was published in Technology Review? In it you urged the rest of us to consider public service at some time during our career. I was with Course VI, Class of 61, and have been an Independent consultant, after serving Sanders, Fasfax, and other industrial firms (see enclosed resume). I have also served SARC and the Special Olympics in Salem and Durham as a volunteer. Events in my career and personal life have led me to heed your advice. I have started an exciting venture to serve the needs of a seriously neglected segment of our population. It involves both public and private service to disabled children and adults who are unable to communicate by speaking with their natural voice. For several years well-thinking providers of service to severely motorically impaired individuals have made various attempts to use computers and other high technology devices to provide augmentative and alternative communication aids. The results have been less than satisfactory. The efficiencies of such systems are less than their lower tech counterparts. The key to resolving this dichotomy in results may lie in converging the differing perceptions of the problems as they really are by the different disciplines involved in delivering the service. For example, rehabilitation engineers should provide input to the assessment process. Jan Nesbit at UNH, Jim Whitlock at Northeast Rehab, Beth Taylor at Mary-Hitchoock, David Jordan at Crotched Mountain and several State government directors, such as Don Shumway, Ed Burke and Mike Jenkins, all are supporting me and feel that I am uniquely qualified to add the missing engineer component. A letter of endorsement from you would carry considerable weight in our quest for private foundation seed money while we apply for federal grants. It would also be helpful to know where the top support is for the American with Disabilities Act. My perception is that you left the State of New Hampshire in a ripe position to legitimately bring the motorically impaired minority forward to realize their full potential as productive citizens, paying taxes on their income instead of continuing to be a burden on other taxpayers.

One Stiles Road Salem, NH 03079 603/898-7884 ® September 6, 1990 The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: It was unfortunate that we were unable to meet at the Red Sox game over the Labor Day weekend. As a fellow MIT alumnus ('79), I hoped for some engaging conversation, but realized it would be inappropriate to try and meet you during what I'm sure was a brief break in your busy schedule. My family (in the box to your left) thoroughly enjoyed the game, and I hope their initial "stares" did not make you uncomfortable (we hoped your wife would catch the foul ball). As a member of the Salem Business Community, and a Director of the Boys and Girls Club, I have had the good fortune of working in a successful pro-business state for almost six years, and in fact, have just made the INC. 500 list of fastest growing private companies. Much of our success would not have been possible administration. without the leadership you provided during your I will be attending two Republican (Senate and Congress) fund raisers in Washington, 9/20 - 9/25. My hope is to share some of the benefits of my Company's success with those candidates that, while we may not necessarily agree on how to handle each issue, share a set of "common values" we believe this country to be about, and respect our right to disagree. Should you be interested in meeting, or believe I can be of some service to you here in Salem at another time, please don't hesitate to let me know. Sincerely, Stephen SAKKOL K.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: We support your efforts to reduce the federal budget deficit in consultation with Members of Congress in a budget summit. We are very concerned, however, that the Congress and Administration are contemplating imposing a broad-based energy tax as a means of raising revenue. Broad-based energy taxes are inequitable, would have severe adverse effects on the economy and would impede our Nation's ability to compete in the international marketplace. Particularly in light of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and the subsequent increase in oil prices, further inflationary pressures have the potential to seriously weaken the U.S. economy. The most common proposals being discussed are taxes on domestic energy, such as a "btu" or "ad valorem" tax. These taxes will ultimately be borne by the consumer. Such taxes are clearly regressive, as low-income households spend a larger share of their budget for essential utility services. Thus, the greatest burden of an energy tax would fall on those individuals and households least able to afford additional costs. A tax on domestic energy production and/or consumption would be inflationary as it would increase the costs of U.S. goods and services. Increased costs of domestic goods and services would place the U.S. at a competitive disadvantage with our foreign competitors. These taxes would encourage imports of foreign products, thereby worsening our trade deficit. Energy taxes would be felt disproportionately among consumers in different geographic regions of the country. These taxes would have the greatest impact on these states and industries that produce and/or use the largest amount of energy. Many of these same states will be affected the greatest by the The Honorable John H. Sununu August 22, 1990 Page Two requirements of the pending Clean Air bill. To impose an additional tax burden on these same consumers is particularly unfair. In conclusion, we feel strongly that a broad-based energy tax is unwarranted for economic and public policy reasons. Taxing an essential service such as electricity is poor public policy because it would be regressive and regionally inequitable. In addition, an energy tax on domestic production/consumption would be inflationary and put the U.S. at a competitive disadvantage. For these reasons, we believe broad-based energy taxes should be rejected. Sincerely, Jonn Thomas R.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu, Several months ago, Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) issued a report detailing an alternative to a tax increase. The report contained a compilation of waste-cutting recommendations which could save more than $305 billion over the next five years. On June 27, the Senate passed a sense of the Senate resolution calling on the members of the budget summit to "consider the most feasible of the deficit reduction recommendations contained in the June 1990 report of the Citizens Against Government Waste before considering new or raised taxes." In light of recent events in the Middle East, the threat of a recession, and the horrendous deficit which remains to be addressed, CAGW would like to remind you of our report and urge you to seriously consider our recommendations. As I am sure you agree, it is essential, now more than ever, that steps are taken to reduce the deficit, improve government efficiency and eliminate government waste. While we are taking a strong stand in the sand in Saudi Arabia, it's time to show our fortitude at home. Sincerely, aland Keyer Alan L. Keyes President enclosure
