Dear Governor Sununu:
I would like to bring to your attention my constituent, Gerald
P. Regier, who is interested in serving as the director for the
Bureau of Justice Assistance with the Department of Justice (DOJ.)
For the past nine months, Jerry has served as the acting director in
this position. I have enclosed a copy of his resume for your
review.
As you can see, Jerry is eminently qualified for this
position. He was selected by Attorney General Dick Thornburgh to
serve as acting director during the confirmation process for the
director position. In that time he has proven himself to be
extremely effective in this position. Under his direction, $445
million in block grants were awarded to the governors of each state
as well as discretionary grants for FY 1990.
Jerry has over a decade of service to the federal government.
Due to his strong commitment to preserving the family unit, he has
received several presidential appointments to commissions and
special awards for his outstanding efforts. Currently, Jerry is
serving as a commissioner on the National Commission on Children
which will report its findings to the President in March 1991.
I urge you to give Jerry strong consideration to become the
permanent director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance. I know
that he would be an excellent representative for DOJ in this
position. His many years of experience with the federal government
and superb performance in his current position of acting director
make him an ideal candidate.
If I can be of assistance on Jerry's behalf, please do not
hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your attention to this
important matter.
Sincerely,
Frank R. Wolf
Member of Congress

Re: Aid to the USSR
Dear Mr. Sununu:
Nikolai Petrakov, President Gorbachev's personal economic advisor and I
have been discussing private American aid to the Soviet Union.
The basic idea is to galvanize the American people into donating food and
clothing to the Soviet people. Presidents Gorbachev and Yeltsin have
approved the idea, and it has been heartily endorsed by Mayors Popov and
Sobchak of Moscow and Leningrad.
I presented this plan to Secretary Baker, and received encouragement but
no real assistance from Alexander Vershbow, the State Department
Director of the Office of Soviet Union Affairs. He pointed me toward
President Bush's Citizens Democratic Corps Clearing House. That
organization, I discovered, is only a start up data base.
I believe that the U.S.A. has a great opportunity to capitalize on the deep
friendship and admiration the Soviet people have demonstrated they have
for America. I believe we should quickly move to cement this relationship
into a long-lasting alignment as soon as possible. This will mean
economic and political benefits for our country.
As you know, Chancellor Kohl and the German people are getting the jump
on us in capturing the Soviet market for the future. Therefore, I am
1-800-535-7538
A Non Profit Corporation
The Honorable Mr. John Sununu
November 30, 1990
Page 2
writing to see if you have a concern about this, and would like to hear
more of the "Petrakov Plan".
We propose using our 401C charitable organization, THE AMERICAN SERVICE
FOUNDATION, as the vehicle for collecting and distributing goods. To be
effective, this program would require the support and enthusiasm of the
President.
If you have an interest in pursuing this concept, 1 would appreciate
hearing from someone on your staff as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
(Mr.) Clare G. Weakley, Jr.

Dear Governor Sununu:
The crisis in the Persian Gulf has diverted attention from the
most dangerous vestige of the Cold War--the superpowers'
strategic nuclear arsenals. If the Cold War is becoming a relic,
the nuclear weapons of the United States and Soviet Union are
still very real. With their awesome power, they could totally
destroy each other.
The economic difficulties faced by the Soviet Union and the
United States give ground for hope that neither will be able to
resume the nuclear arms race at previous levels. But as the
Soviet government's central authority breaks down, the question
arises who will control the thousands of Soviet strategic nuclear
weapons. One practical step we can take is reducing the number
of warheads. The Strategic Arms Reduction Talks agreement
(START) will do just that. It will cut the number of strategic
warheads in the U.S. and Soviet arsenals by about one third.
The conflict in the Persian Gulf has renewed our sense of urgency
about the spread of nuclear weapons. As parties to the Treaty on
the Non Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the nuclear powers
obligated themselves to pursue negotiations in good faith on
effective measures to end the nuclear arms race and proceed to
nuclear disarmament. START will be a long overdue step toward
meeting our obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Its
prompt implementation will better enable us to hold the non-
nuclear nations to their obligation to forego acquiring nuclear
weapons.
Presidents Bush and Gorbachev set a goal of completing START by
December 1990. If several remaining obstacles are cleared, START
could be still be signed in the coming months. The debate over
whether or not the U.S. Senate should give its advice and consent
to the ratification of START could begin early in 1991.
To help you in your consideration of START, I am pleased to send
you this Briefing Book on START published by Council for a
Livable World Education Fund. It outlines the development of our
strategic nuclear forces and doctrine and the history of arms
control efforts. The briefing book also analyses the key
provisions of START and their impact on the strategic balance.
It discusses the unprecedented provisions, including on-site
inspection and cooperative measures, that START will employ to
verify compliance.
I hope that you will find Briefing Book on START to be as
informative and useful as I have.
Sincerely,
BaulC Warke

Mr. John Sununu
White House Chief of Staff
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington D.C.
Dear Mr. Sununu:
I met you at the Conservative Leadership Conference on November 9
past. Enclosed is a photo taken with you to give you an idea of
whom I am.
I am writing to you as I was impressed by your talk at Friday
night's banquet. Thank you for the wealth of information you
shared and am so glad the President is doing so well. 1 am
writing you to ask you for your assistance in arranging a meeting
for me and a group of fellow pro-life rescuers to meet with
President Bush. We know the President's heart for the preborn-
he even sent Vice-President Dan Quayle to speak at our Pro-life
rally, April 28, 1990 The group is Operation Rescue. Now, before
you say "Definitely, positively no way!" let me share with you a
little on who, why and what is the purpose behind the highly
controversial group named "OPERATION RESCUE"
Who is Operation Rescue?
Operation Rescue is a pro-life group, headquartered in
Binghampton, New York, whose founder and leader is Randall Terry
Their objective is saving pre-born children from an untimely
death by abortion, by physically placing themselves between the
pregnant women and the abortionist's door. They actually block
the entrances, making it virtually impossible to enter the
abortionist's office.
This is done in obedience to the Bible scriptures from Proverbs
24:11 (The Living Bible version) to "Rescue those who die. are
Verse 12 in the New King James version says "If you say, "Surely
unjustly sentenced to death; don't stand back and let them
did not know this", does not he who weighs the hearts consider
we it? He who keeps your soul, does he not know and will he not
render to each man according to his deeds?

RE: LAFF AID
Dear Mr. Sununu:
Can you imagine the horror of finding out that your
child has cancer or diabetes or AIDS or needs an organ transplant?
Now imagine being unable to help your child's physical or
emotional problems because you don't have the money. Families
faced with huge medical expenses often try to raise the needed
money themselves. Their desperate attempts usually fail or by the
time the money has been raised, it S too late to help their child.
There are many fine children's charities who can
reach these families with assistance, caring and encouragement.
Unfortunately, most of these non-profit foundations exist solely
through donations and most are struggling to raise every dime.
The National Childhood Aid Fund (NCAF) has been
set up to help provide these foundations with this urgently needed
money. Working through its "LAFF AID project, the NCAF will
operate as an umbrella funding organization, with the money it
"earns" going to help other children's foundations, who will in
turn, help the kids.
WE NEED YOUR HELP AND ADVICE, NOT YOUR MONEY, to
make this all come true. We are now organizing ourselves and are
building the mechanisms that will enable us to succeed. The
enclosed "Project Outline" explains what we intend to do to "earn"
the money we need to assist these many worthwhile children's
charities.
You can be of significant help to us by joining
the NCAF S. Executive Advisory Board. We are offering this honor
to only a select number of prominent individuals. We hope you will
read through the enclosed "Project Outline" and then ASAP mail or
fax us a short letter indicating your desire to take a seat on our
exclusive Executive Advisory Board.
If you are interested in helping out further by
reading one of the 30-second "Moment of Awareness" segments on
the "LAFF AID" radio show or by appearing on one of the "LAFF AID"
television shows, please indicate as such.
Please act quickly. Working together we can do some
good.
Sincerely yours,
NATIONAL CHILDHOOD AID FUND

Mr. John H. Sununu,

The White House Offi
1600 Pennsylvania A1
Washington, D. C.
:
Dear Mr. Sununu:
Re: WHY & WHY??
Is there a regulation that prohibits a Senator, a Congressman or a Secretary
from showing a bit of courtesy by acknowledging information from an outsider,
information that can benefit everyone in the country?
My letter of May 5, 1987 to Howard Baker, then Chief of Staff, relating to
Acid Rain, listed several types of scrubbers, one or more of which could not only
wash out particulate matter but also reduce up to 97% of the so₂. It also men-
tioned a much less costly approach to the problem by having all steam plants switch
from high sulphur coal or oil to gas.
A copy of this letter was sent to the following: Senators Robert Dole, Patrick
Leahy and Timothy Wirth, Congressmen Silvio Conte, Gerry Sikorski, and Henry Waxman.
Copies were also sent to New York State Attorney General Robert Abrams, retired Ver-
mont Senator Robert Stafford as well as to Canadian officials in the Office of the
Minister of the Environment at Ottawa. I received two-page letters that expressed
keen interest in my recommendations from each of the last three. Not one memo of
acknowledgement or show of interest came from Mr. Baker, the Senators or Congressmen
referred to above. WHY??
In my letter of 5/11/90 to you relating to WAYS & MEANS to effect reductions
of fuel oil up to 20% or more, without causing any reduction in the steam load for
any building or plant that generates steam for heat, process or power (see high-
lighted paragraphs, page 6), I asked you to review my letter with Energy Secretary
Watkins Instead you sent the letter to the Energy Department. Who received it
no one knows.
I assume that Secretary Watkins and you both attend Cabinet meetings where you
could learn the status of the information I have endeavored so far to get through
to him with no success whatever. Did the letter ever find its way from someone in
the Energy Department back to him?
On 7/3/90 I sent a certified transmittal (per attached copy) to Secretary
Watkins, assuming that by then he had received my 5/11/90 letter to you. His secre-
tary phoned me to learn what the letter was all about; that the letter I described
had never been received. I then sent a duplicate of the 6 page 5/11/90 letter with
its attachments, addressed to Secretary Watkins, via certified mail. To date I hav
received no acknowledgement. Again, I ask WHY??
2
receive a return receipt card from the Energy Department, not from the
cretary or his office.
Per occasional TV reports, there are some Government officials in Washington
that have expressed a need to reduce imported fuel oil and related costs. I must
assume that this is also an important matter that requires Secretary Watkins'
attention. If this assumption is correct, why then is he not interested in the
type of WAYS & MEANS that I have used to effect fuel savings of 20% or more over
a period of several years. These WAYS & MEANS have been proven very effective.
After all, I am fully qualified and capable of defending any and all claims
that I make relating to fuel reductions that can be effected. Such fuel savings
will quickly offset any plant costs to accomplish the recommended WAYS & MEANS.
Please ask the President if he will request from Secretary Watkins a list of
his recommendations to reduce fuel oil requirements and imports. I will submit to
the President my list of WAYS & MEANS to accomplish fuel reductions. Both submittals
should be considered classified until the President concludes which route to effect
fuel savings is the best one, Secretary Watkins' or mine. At that time, a decision
can be made as to the value of my recommendations.
If the President or Secretary Watkins have no interest in the subject of fuel
savings, please let me know. I still cannot understand why it is so difficult, if
not impossible, to get a response from the Washington of ficials that I have sent
wide. important information to concerning the WAYS & MEANS that can benefit everyone nation-
Note attached copy of my 1943 PRACTICAL METHODS article, which was inserted
into the Congressional Record Vol. 121, No. 17, p. S 1682, for Friday, February 7,
1975, by Senator Mathias of Maryland. Two of the several important WAYS & MEANS to
effect Fuel Savings that I have referred to several times in my 5/11/90 letter are
covered in the PRACTICAL METHODS article. One that goes into considerable detail
relates to the losses created by Excess Air. A brief reference is made to cleaning
boiler tubes. Bear in mind that when the article was written Fire Tube and Water
Tube boiler tubes had to be cleaned manually by steam lances or brushing.
The insulating value of 1/8 II of soot is equivalent to 1 II of asbestos, accord-
ing to the U.S. Bureau of Mines.
Patent No. 3,450,104 was awarded to Merrill Aldrich and me on June 17, 1969.
It relates to fully automatic tube cleaners that can clean all of the tubes of a
Fire Tube boiler every hour of coal or oil firing the year round. It also included
an injector that could spray, once every hour, a catalyst to increase overall combus-
tion efficiency. A reference letter from the City of Alexandria, included with the
5/11/90 attachments, relates to the effects of this catalyst on the reduction of SO2.
The patent expired 4 years ago. Neither Aldrich or I have had anything to do with
marketing or installation of the tube cleaning equipment since that expiration date.
There is also a reference in the article to Spinner Cup oil burners. Such
burners should now be considered obsolete if they have not already been discontinued
and replaced by pressure type burners, each of which includes its own wind box through
which all combustion air can pass. The elimination of Spinner Cup burners automati-
cally eliminates the need for checker work construction which can contribute to Excess
Air and fuel waste.
Sununu--page 3
Please note highlighted paragraph, page 5, of my 5/11/90 letter relating to
device that I should like to design to indicate when a steam boiler is opera-
the efficiently or otherwise wasting fuel. Can or will the Energy Department
mandate ting such a device? If so, I will contact a few instrument builders and find
out if one of them is interested in building and marketing such a device. If
there is no way that the Energy Department can mandate such a device, it probably
will be difficult to locate an instrument builder who will be willing to take on
the initial marketing responsibilities. Since the device is just one more way to
effect fuel savings and reduce oil imports, it seems to me that the Energy Depart-
ment should find a way to simplify the purchase and use of this equipment.
I am most anxious to have an indication from you, the President, or Secretary
Watkins if this is a device that can be mandated for all U.S. steam plants, large
public utility power plants, only, excluded. I shall appreciate an early reply.
A copy of my 7/3/90 certified letter to Secretary Watkins is attached Please
note highlighted section, page 1, paragraph 3. Since I have received no response
to the 7/3/90 letter, as well as the 5/11/90 letter, I am totally unaware whether
the Secretary has reviewed any of my correspondence or not.
Can the Energy Department mandate consulting engineers and others who prepare
specifications for new or replacement boilers to limit such specifications to the
particular types of Fire Tube and Water Tube boilers that generate the most steam
from the least amount of fuel? If and when the Energy Department shows any interest
in pursuing this particular matter, I can go into the specifics that relate to the
whys and wherefors.
Sincerely yours,
Robert H. Wilder

Mr. John Sununu
White House Chief of Staff
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W.
Washington, D.C.
John, John, John,
Don't you wish you were back in N. H.? I think some of your co-
workers, very near the top, need an immediate brain transplant, which is
why I'm writing.
It looks to me like George has got himself in a real bind with Iraq. Now I
don't particularly care much about George being in a bind. But, it does
affect the rest of us. And I also don't like seeing one of my favorite ex-
Governors caught in a bind, too.
Now, as I'm sure you know, I take pride in being the cleverest son of a
bitch in marketing tactics in the country and there just ain't no second. So
let me make a suggestion on how Bush can regain the initiative from the
Democrats, put the public in his pocket and scare the whey out of Saddam.
Let George simply say this:
"A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ASKING WHAT WE ARE DOING
IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND WHAT OUR GOALS ARE. I'M
GOING TO SPELL IT OUT SO EVEN THE CONGRESS CAN
UNDERSTAND IT.
FIRST, I WANT TO GET US (USE US, NOT YOU) A GOOD,
STABLE, SURE SOURCE OF OIL AT A FAIR PRICE. ONE
Sununu
vember 26, 1990
THAT WE CAN COUNT ON FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS
UNTIL WE CAN GET OTHER ENERGY RESOURCES. OIL
IS LIKE BREAD. IT'S ANOTHER STAFF OF LIFE. WE
NEED IT TO HEAT OUR HOMES, RUN OUR CARS, KEEP
OUR FACTORIES GOING. IT HELPS TO FEED ALL OF
US. WHEN THE PRICE GETS OUT OF SIGHT, WE LOSE
JOBS AND OUR MONEY BUYS LESS.
I CAN'T LEAVE 40% OF THE WORLD'S OIL WITH
IRAQ'S HAND ON THE FAUCET. IN THE LONG RUN,
HUSSEIN COULD DO SOMETHING WORSE THAN HE'S
DOING NOW. SOMETHING THAT COULD BANKRUPT
US. IN FACT, HE COULD EVEN START A NUCLEAR
WAR. SO THE FIRST THING I WANT TO DO IS GET
THAT BUM OUT OF KUWAIT AND WHILE I'M DOING
THAT I'M GOING TO SIT DOWN WITH THE SAUDIS
AND THE KUWAITIS AND NEGOTIATE A 99 YEAR
PRICE ON OIL. IF WE'VE GOT TO FIGHT FOR IT, WE'VE
GOT A RIGHT TO SAY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO PAY
FOR IT. FURTHERMORE, I'M GOING TO ASK THAT
THEY GIVE US SOME BASES IN THAT AREA WHERE
WE CAN KEEP A GOOD SIZED BODY OF TROOPS TO
MAINTAIN THE PEACE.
NOW, HUSSEIN IS NOT GOING TO GIVE UP HIS LOOT
EASILY. BUT, IF HE SEES THAT HE'S GOING TO GET
HIT VERY, VERY HARD WITH EVERY WEAPON IN
OUR ARSENAL THEN I THINK HE'LL BACK OUT
MAYBE WITH SOME FACE SAVING DEVICE.
Page 3
Mr. John Sununu
November 26, 1990
AFTER THAT WE CAN HAVE A LITTLE TALK IN
PRIVATE WHICH WILL LET HIM KNOW THAT ANY
NEW AMBITIONS HED BETTER KEEP CONFINED TO
HIS TENT.
BUT FIRST, WE HAVE TO CONVINCE HIM THAT WE'RE
REALLY READY TO MOVE. SO I WANT TO SEND HIM AN
ULTIMATUM THAT HE GETS OUT OF KUWAIT BY
MARCH 1ST OR WE'RE GOING TO SWAT HIM LIKE A FLY.
WE'LL TURN OUR AIR FORCE AND OUR MISSILE LOOSE,
EVERY PLACE WHERE THERE IS AN IRAQI PRIV ATE,
WE'LL BLAST THEM DAY AND NIGHT UNTIL THEY QUIT.
BUT I CANT DELIVER THIS ULTIMATUM IF SADDAM
THINKS I CAN'T MAKE IT STICK, so I'M ASKING FOR
CONGRESS TO TAKE A VOTE AND APPROVE THIS
ULTIMATUM. IF THEY GIVE ME THE BACKING, WE'LL
ALL FOLLOW THROUGH TOGETHER. IF THEY DONT,
I'M NOT GOING TO KEEP OUR TROOPS OUT THERE IN
THE DESERT FOR 2 OR 3 YEARS. I'LL START
BRINGING THEM HOME RIGHT AWAY AND WE'LL ALL
JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH HIGH PRICED OIL AND
INFLATION AND UNCERTAINTY FOR EVER MORE.
BUT, I THINK CONGRESS WILL SEE THE MERIT OF
WHAT I'M ARGUING HERE AND WITH THEIR HELP
WE'LL DO A JOB. NOW, I KEEP SEEING POLLS
ABOUT HOW PEOPLE SUPPORT ME FOR THIS OR
THAT. WELL, THAT'S NICE. BUT I THINK
TM JUST HERE AS YOUR MESSENGER TO GET
THE JOB DONE. IF YOU WANT ME TO DO THIS,
I WANT YOU TO GET ON THE PHONE TO YOUR
CONGRESSMAN OR WRITE HIM A LETTER AND
TELL HIM TO APPROVE THIS ULTIMATUM.
Page 4
Mr. John Sununu
November 26, 1990
IF YOU DONT DO IT, THEN I'LL KNOW YOU
WANT ME TO PULL OUT AND WE'LL ALL HUNKER
DOWN FOR A WHILE. GOD BLESS YOU
ALL.
Well, I'm not going to teach my grandma how to suck eggs. I
think you see how it would work. And I give you this
without my usual fee and all my best regards

Dear Governor Sununu:
I am writing to thank you for your kind offer of White House
assistance in connection with my transition out of the Legal
Services Corporation and to let you know that, so far, we have
not identified the right spot. I would appreciate any assistance
you can lend to this process, and also wanted to mention that
there is a position on the White House staff in which I would be
interested.
I understand that former Congressman Cooper Evans has
decided to leave his position as Special Assistant to the
President for Agriculture and would like to become a serious
candidate to replace him. As you may know, I served as General
Counsel to the Senate Agriculture Committee when Senator Helms
was Chairman. I was on the Committee staff for approximately six
years and was involved in all the issues that came before the
Committee, including those addressed in the 1981 and 1985 Farm
Bills, several budget reconciliation bills, and other
agricultural credit and futures trading bills.
I have a long and cordial relationship with the Members of
Congress who have an interest in agriculture and with most of the
agricultural trade groups. I come from an Iowa farming
background, started my legal career at USDA, and have, in the
past, worked closely with Secretary Yeutter and his staff. I
have great respect for Secretary Yeutter and think we would work
well together.

Dear Mr. Sununu,
John Rotenberg, Tom McLaughlin and I appreciated your time at the Union Oyster House and also
appreciate your concern and offer to hold a hearing about the condition and disastrous adverse
impact the new 10% luxury tax has on the boating industry in the United States.
Like all Americans, we in the yacht building industry want to see the deficit reduced.
Unfortunately, this luxury tax is revenue negative or at best revenue neutral, and will put
thousands of additional boat employees out of work.
We request a hearing that will document the following:
REVENUE NEGATIVE OR AT BEST REVENUE NEUTRAL. The program is revenue
negative or at best revenue neutral because there will be little or no new sales of yachts in
the next 12 months. Without sales, jobs will be lost. Lost payroll tax revenue will
result from large, wide spread layoffs.
NO NEW SALES. The added 10% tax has made it virtually impossible to close a yacht
sale this fall and in both my opinion and others in the industry there will be very few
sales for nine to twelve months. Eighty percent of our annual sales are made between
September and November. Without exception, all buyers are deferring their decision to
purchase a new boat because of the new tax. For seven consecutive years, my company had
enjoyed a 25% annual growth rate in sales. Last year we built $2,600,000 of new boats
At this time all our building employees are laid off and the company is trying to finalize a
few new orders to keep the company going.
LOST JOBS. The N.M.M.A., National Marine Manufactures Association estimates that
there will be an additional 8000 manufacturing jobs lost in the boat industry nationally
as a direct result the new luxury tax. New England boat builders were already fighting for
survival before the new luxury tax. Dunn and Bradstreet reported this week that
bankruptcies have increased 195% over last year in New England. A survey of seven of
the larger boat building companies around the Fall River, MA area shows that 1673 jobs
have been lost and only 417 remain. Three of the seven companies have already gone
bankrupt and the others are fighting for survival. All the remaining companies are now
faced with the prospect of little or no sales because the "price sensitive" boat buyer will
not pay an additional 10% tax on top of state taxes that average 7%.

RIPPLE EFFECT. In addition to the layoff of 40 employees at my company which has
resulted in $1,000,000 in lost payroll and payroll taxes, there are over 300 of our
suppliers that will also be affected. In addition to the 8000 manufacturing jobs lost, as
mentioned above, there will also be thousands of additional jobs lost to companies that
supply to the manufacturers.
PRICE SENSITIVE. High priced yacht buyers are very sensitive to price increases and
will look for alternatives if the total cost increases too much. Just as the yacht buying
public were about to begin purchasing again, (the recession in yacht buying led the
recession a year ago) the consumer for a new boat is faced with an additional 10% price
increase/tax. I am sure few industries, even in good-times, could withstand such an
increase. What would most consumers do if someone told them a car, vacation house, or
other luxury items had just gone up in price by 10%. Probably wait, or purchase an
alternative? RESULT: No sales, no tax revenue.
CONSUMERS TRUE COST OF LUXURY TAX
The actual cost of the luxury tax to the consumer is much higher than 10% because it is
paid with after tax dollars. This makes the purchase of a yacht even less attractive.
REDUCED IMPORTS. American boat builders produce quality products that have kept
American consumer dollars in this country. Cambrias, which are built by my company,
are one of the finest yachts built in the world today and for the last seven years have been
a successful alternative to high-quality imports. One of our recent owners, actor,
Christopher Reeve (Superman), formerly owned a Swan 40, built in Finland. We sold
him a new Cambria 46 two years ago and allowed American dollars to stay on our shores.
Over 40% of our $10,000,000 production has resulted in American dollars staying in
this country.
ADVERSE IMPACT ON BLUE COLLAR AND IMMIGRANT WORKERS.
The group that can least afford lost income resulting from layoffs will be most affected by
lost boat sales. The blue collar and immigrant workers comprise the major source of
labor to build boats. The wealthy will simply defer their purchases and not feel any
adverse effect from the new tax law.
DISCRIMINATORY. Most yacht buyers use their boats as a second home on the weekends.
Vacation and second homes are not included in the new tax law. What is the difference
between a vacation home in the mountains and a vacation home on the water?
LOST INVESTMENTS. Like other boat builders in New England, I have my life
investment and hard work in my company. My family's investment created over 40 jobs
which produced eight years of payroll taxes. The investment, payroll taxes and jobs are
gone if the buyers do not start purchasing new boats.
Hon. John Sununu

SUMMARY.
A) The luxury tax is revenue negative or at best revenue neutral.
Reduced payroll taxes and less new tax collected will result because
there will be no new sales.
B) Over 8000 additional manufacturing jobs will be lost
C) The luxury tax is discriminatory. Most yachts are used
as second homes which are not taxed under the new law.
D) Blue collar and immigrant workers will be most affected--
not the wealthy
E) Buyers will defer yacht purchases or look for less expensive
imported alternatives.
F) The final result of the new luxury tax is that there will be no additional net
gain in tax revenue.
G) My 23 years of very successful building and sales experience and the
benefit of a superior product will not be enough to keep my company
going with the negative sales environment resulting from America's poor
economy and particularly the additional 10% luxury tax.
On behalf of New England beet builders SHE time Credit EST con a pos avoid the
adverse Impact of the tax which has virtually stopped boat sales and will bankrupt most of New
England's small boat building companies this year.
We need your help and respectfully request a senate and congressional hearing before the
appropriate committee.
Best regards,
Waller

Dear Governor Sununu:
You may be interested in the findings of our new survey on CEO expectations for the 1990's, in
which nearly 600 chief executive officers representing a wide range of industries participated.
Two findings stand out: 1) We will be doing business in a slower-growing economy this decade.
About half of the surveyed business leaders do not expect economic growth to match the 2.9%
annual rate recorded during the 1980's. 2) The economy must overcome a number of very
formidable problems. Note that four economic issues -- health-care costs, the Federal budget
deficit, the S&L crisis and our inadequately trained work force -- now top the list of CEO
concerns.
This is the latest in the Board's Chief Executive Opinion Program, which regularly examines and
reports on high-impact business issues. The next survey will reflect CEO views on the major
social issues facing the U.S.
We welcome your comments, and would be happy to discuss the details of the survey with you
or someone from your office.
Sincerely,
Meredith Whiting

The Honorable John H. Sununu
Chief of Staff to the President
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Governor:
You may recall that we visited very briefly on
Friday, November 2, 1990, when you and the President were in
Sioux City, Iowa, about the President's participation in the
Legal Services Corporation's Twenty-five Year Anniversary
Conference on Monday, December 10, 1990.
This year marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of
federally-funded civil legal services for America's poor. As
Chairman of the Legal Services Corporation's Board of
Directors (at least until the Congress adjourned sine die on
October 28!), I have been working with the Corporation's
staff in the planning and development of the Conference.
Conference speakers and panelists will review the
accomplishments, as well as the shortcomings, of the legal
services program over the past twenty-five years. They also
will suggest how such services can be provided more
efficiently and effectively during the next twenty-five
years.
The Conference program will be presented during the
morning and the afternoon of the 10th. Additionally, keynote
remarks will be presented at a luncheon, and a reception at
the end of the day will recognize lawyers and staff members
who have served legal services grantees for the past
twenty-five years. The Conference will be held at the
Madison Hotel in Washington, D.C.
I would be delighted and honored -- as would the
other members of our Board, as well as the conferees -- by
having the President address remarks to the Conference at any
time on the 10th. He could restate his message about the
importance of pro bono legal services (as published last
February in the American Bar Association Journal), or
-2-
1d discuss the importance of insuring civil justice for
Americans, among other things.
It seems to me that the President's endorsement of
federally-funded civil legal services at this time is
especially important after the controversy and embattlement
of the 1980's. Any remarks the President would make, as the
next quarter century of legal services begins, would fit well
with the selection of a new Board of Directors and of a new
President for the Corporation.
Please let me know, of course, if you or the
members of your staff, or the President, need further
information as you consider the possibility of his
participation in the Conference.
Sincerely,
George W. Wittgraf

Dear Governor Sununu,
When I wrote to you on election day (Nov. 6) I had no idea that the attached
form letter from Mr. Chase Untermeyer was in the mail. It was mailed on November 5
(attached) and I received it on November 9. I am tempted to respond: "Is that all
there is?"
It has been widely noted over the past 2 or 3 months that there is indeed a
vacancy in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I and my many supporters believed that
my candidacy for the post of Commissioner (which started with a letter to your office
from Dr. Brodsky dated August 21 1990) would therefore be timely. Could it be that
the letter from Mr. Untermeyer is in error?
For the record I append a list of distinguished persons who have taken the time
to write letters of support. Somehow a form letter with an impersonal signature seems
an inadequate response to an enthusiastic band of scientists and physicians who are
offering their help to the Administration.
Is it really too late?
Most sincerely,
Enc. 3

Dear John:
As Ed Rogers may have told you, I have been making the
argument that Jack Kemp would be perfect as RNC chairman. In an
instant, it would send the clearest signal to the party and the
country that President Bush is serious about restoring the GOP as
the party of economic growth and entrepreneurial capitalism, as
opposed to corporatism. Black and minority Americans would be
surprised, taken aback, with a new appreciation of a President
who would make such an appointment. The party organization
nationally would be thrilled, understanding Kemp is the one guy
who can disarm the class warfare bombshells the Democrats have
been lobbing. In fact, putting Kemp at the RNC would spring him
into the Democrat backfield.
I've talked to Kemp about it and he is not crazy about the
idea, to say the least. He thinks it's a terrible job, Joanne
thinks he'd never be home for dinner anymore, and he would only
do it if the President urged him to do it. My strategic sense is
that Kemp is the optimum choice. The GOP has been burdened for
fifty years with a balance-the-budget mentality, which is why the
American people will not trust Republicans to control the White
House AND the Congress, as they did so often between Lincoln and
Hoover. The younger voters who identify with entrepreneurial
capitalism, and were attracted by the Reagan Revolution, need to
be reassured that 1990 was not a GOP departure from principle,
only a tactical setback.
All the conservative leaders I talk to say it would be a
great idea, but it won't happen, because the President wouldn't
want someone he can't completely control at the RNC. You know,
though, and surely the President knows, that Jack has remained
personally loyal to the President throughout the chaos of the
last several months -- believing the presidency and party could
be repaired in '91. As long as he is able to work toward the Bush
Agenda of 1988, the President could feel completely secure in his
loyalty. Nothing could heal the schism in the GOP quicker and
more happily than JFK at the RNC. Support the idea and you will
be glad you did.
Jude Sincerely, as ever,

Dear Governor Sununu:
I am writing to make sure that you are
aware of actions by the National Science
Foundation (NSF) regarding its proposed
relocation.
The attached letter that I sent to the
acting director of the NSF indicates my
serious concerns regarding that agency's
decision to reject the recently completed
competitive solicitation for the relocation of
NSF's headquarters. I do not believe that
members of Congress should be involved in
directing federal agencies where to locate. I
would hope that political pressure played no
part in the NSF rejecting the outcome of the
solicitation, which was based on NSF's
specifications and was conducted by the
General Services Administration (GSA)
I would hope that you could help get
officials at the GSA and NSF to resolve this
matter in a manner that advances the missions
of the agencies involved and promotes the
interest of the taxpayer.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincere, y,

Dear John:
As per our earlier correspondence (enclosed), I should like
to reiterate my invitation to the President to attend this year's
ninth annual Ethics and Public Policy Center dinner at which the
Shelby Cullom Davis Award for integrity and courage in public life
will be presented to Mayor Teddy Kollek of Jerusalem. As you know,
the formal dinner will be held on Wednesday evening, December 12,
at the Washington Hilton.
We would, of course, welcome remarks from the President,
should he be able to join us.
I fully understand that you and the President have many things
on your minds these days; you'll understand that we are eager to
get our program finalized. Might you give me an indication within
the next week or so as to the possibilities of the President's
joining us? Thank you.
All best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
George Weigel

Dear John,
I have been reluctant to contact you since the inauguration of the Bush
Administration: with regard to an earlier proposal for appointment (1987) to the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission. However, within the last two months three professional societies
and many wellknown persons in science and medicine have seen fit to endorse my candidacy
for such an appointment. Included are Dade Moeller and Norman Rasmussen in the reactor
safeguards area, my colleague and past teacher respectively. Therefore, particularly
since the intense activity of your office surrounding the budget and the election has
subsided, I now believe it may be appropriate to write to you directly.
I should say first that as an American citizen by personal election, I have
an abiding admiration for the U.S. constitution and for the individual freedom it confers.
Moreover, having arrived here as a young man and having been fortunate enough to achieve
national recognition in my chosen profession here, I have developed a strong personal
conviction that I should try to serve this nation of ours with all the expertise that
I have developed here. Indeed I have responded in the past to several invitations to
serve nationally through federal appointments mostly in the academic sphere -- on NIH
and EPA Study Sections, on two NRC Advisory Committees, on a statutory committee
advising the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and as a U.S. delegate to a U.N. Committee
dealing with radiation hazards.
In my view, the essence of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is radiation
safety and it is in this area that I believe I have developed a national reputation.
For over 40 years I have worked in a radiation environment and for most of that time
I have been responsible among other duties for the radiation protection of others.
For 24 years I have chaired the Radiation Safety Committee of one of the best hospitals
in this country, and for 35 years I have taught physicians and physicists the elements
of radiation safety at the Massachusetts General Hospital and at Harvard University.
During that time I have become a disciple of the ALARA philosophy (As Low As Reasonably
Achievable) which holds that the social benefits of radiation use should be weighed and
compared with their social cost, including economic cost.
I believe that my knowledge of radiation effects on people combined with my
expertise in radiation protection systems and my long and vital interest in both the
economic and medical health of our society, will fortify my judgement on matters which
could come before the NRC, and indeed some other agencies.
While I realize that I have no significant political connections, it is my
hope that due consideration will be given to the relevance and desirability of the skills
and motivation which I could bring to the federal government.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Governor John
Dr. Ivan M. Havel, a computer engineer/scientist (brother
of President Vaclav Havel of Czechoslovakia) has been lecturing at
California in Berkeley these past six weeks. Dr. Havel is a
the International Computer Sciences Institute at the University of
Professor at Charles University in Prague and is also Chairman of
the Center for Theoretical Study at the University (see attached).
I met Dr. Havel three weeks ago at Bill Clark's ranch in
California. He is a very charming individual whose conversation
in English is quite good.
Dr. Havel will be here in Washington from December 6
through 10.
I mentioned your background to him, and he is quite
interested in meeting you. If possible, could you meet with him
for a short time at your convenience on Friday, December 7.
I
think you will find him very interesting and certainly very
informative on what is going on in Czechoslovakia today.
Hopefully, you will have some interesting information to provide
him in light of the trip you and President Bush will be making to
Czechoslovakia in mid-November.
I'll keep in touch with Jackie regarding this matter.

Mr. John H. Sununu
Chief of Staff
Executive Offices of the President
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. Sununu:
Not everything happening within the thrift industry is bad, and I
want to take this opportunity to share with you a few accolades for
one of the "good guys" in the thrift industry right here in the
Capital of Texas.
As you know, virtually all Texas financial institutions have
experienced profound problems due to depressed real estate and
energy markets over a prolonged period, not to mention some abusive
practices. As a result virtually every large financial institution
in Austin has been either recapitalized or acquired.
Franklin Federal, recently organized and capitalized by a Texas
owner with significant resources to help resolve three thrift
insolvencies, is doing what I believe a responsibly run financial
institution should be doing. Run by a team of former bankers,
Franklin Federal is:
Developing the ties and making the commitments necessary to be
an effective local lender.
Mapping its growth and targeting its business in a way which
supports the controlled, steady rebuilding of the Austin
economy.
Developing a reputation as a tough but reasonable watchdog for
properties it is marketing on behalf of the government.
I believe that institutions such as Franklin Federal are extremely
beneficial to the markets which they serve. Their actions help to
stabilize and improve overall real estate and general market
conditions.
Thank you for all that you are doing to provide leadership on this
important issue.
Sincerely
Shewat Glenn E. West, CCE

Dear John:
-
The President could make a major, positive difference on the
outcome of next Tuesday's elections with a Sunday night paid
political spot of only a minute or two, urging voter turnout on
behalf of a growth agenda in the 102nd Congress. If you can get
one voter in every precinct to show up for the GOP instead of
staying home, you can prevent a rout and save a lot of candidates
now on the ropes. They have to have a positive incentive to vote.
The President has to announce he is going to challenge the
Democrats throughout 1991. to drop their class warfare baloney and
pass a capital gains tax for the nation at large, and a zero
percent capgains tax for the inner cities. By linking the two
thoughts together, it is clear the issue is growth vs.
stagnation. He should mention the Democrats have blocked the
urban enterprise zone idea for 10 years! The President's message
in the final days should NOT BE plastering the Democrats as the
party of tax and spend -- a message that lost for the GOP for
half a century. He should ridicule the Democratic pledge to tax
millionaires: Why don't we just shoot them all? But primarily he
must hammer on the strategy of capital tax cuts for growth. Ask
Bob Teeter what he thinks. I believe he will agree this would
make a difference.
Sincerely, as always,
Juan Jude Wanniski

WHEN YOU FIRST CAME TO WASHINGTON I WROTE YOU AND YOU GRACIOUSLY
REPLIED To THE EFFECT YOU WOULD CALL ON ME IF YOU THOUGHT I MIGHT BE
OF SERVICE. AS YOU CAN SEE I AM AGAIN VOLUNTEERING MY SERVICES TO YOU
AND OUR PRESIDENT. THE FLAK YOU ARE TAKING FOR DOING YOUR JOB AS
CHIEF OF STAFF TO PROTECT THE PRESIDENT IS EXACTLY WHAT GOVERNOR
SHERMAN ADAMS DID FOR PRESIDENT EISENHOWER. HE PROTECTED THE
PRESIDENT FROM THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS. WE ALL WERE ABLE TO GET
BALANCED BUDGETS TOGETHER, LEGISLATION ON THE ROAD AND IN THE END THE
ONLY PERSON TO GET COVERED WAS GOVERNOR ADAMS, AS HIS AND PRESIDENT
EISENHOWER'S PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL ASSITANT I RAN INTERFERENCE
FOR THEM AND EXCEPT FOR GOVERNOR ADAMIS RIGID PERSONAL APPROACH WE
WERE SUCCESSFUL. IN HIS NEW ENGLAND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND "WHAT DID YOU
DO FOR YOU COUNTRY TODAY" ATTITUDE HE BECAME A SCAPE GOAT FOR HIS
PARTY AND THE PRESIDENT. AS THE PRESIDENT SAID IN HIS ACCEPTANCE
SPEECH AS RECORDED IN THE EISENHOWER LIBRARY "I WOULDN'T BE HERE IF
IT HADN'T BEEN FOR CHARLIE WILLIS AND STAN RUMBOUGH". WE WORK AS
VOLUNTEERS FOR OUR PRINCIPALS. THE PEOPLE OUR PRESIDENT HAS AROUND
HIM WILL ALL WRITE KISS AND TELL BOOKS AND ARE FEATHERING THEIR
NESTS. PRESIDENT REAGAN AS GOOD AS HE WAS HAD OVER TEN TOP APPOINTEES
SENT TO JAIL OR INDICTED. I AM AVAILABLE TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND
WASHINGTON AND CONGRESS. MY RECORD IS ONE OF DEVOTION TO THE COUNTRY
AND THE PRESIDENT. YOUR OFFICE, THE CIA, THE FBI, THE SECRET SERVICE,
ALL OF HAVE RECORD. GOVERNOR ADAMS AND I STARTED THE FBI CHECK
PROCEDURE FOR PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTEES AND IN READING THEM WE WERE
ASTOUNDED BY THE PROBLEMS OF so CALLED LEADERS IN THE COUNTRY FOR
BRINGING TO THE GOVERNMENT. THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER IS TAME WHEN YOU
REALLY LOOK AT THE FBI CHECKS FOR PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS, I WOULD
NEVER WRITE A KISS AND TELL BOOK, IE REAGAN'S CHIEF OF STAFF, IE BACK
DOORS OF WHITE HOUSE BY ROOSEVELT ACCOUNTS OF THE FIRST FAMILY, BOB
GRAYS PUT DOWN PRESIDENT EISENHOWER ETC. WE AND YOU NEED THE KIND OF
LOVE AND DEVOTION OUR COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON. AT YOUR AND THE PLEASURE
OF THE PRESIDENT I AM AVAILABLE.

EMBASSY OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
OFFICE OF THE AMBASSADOR
Helsinki, October 17, 1990
The Honorable
John H. Sununu
Chief of Staff to the President
The White House
Washington, D.C.
Dear John:
We continue to receive compliments here about the
Bush-Gorbachev meeting in Helsinki, both from Finns and from
fellow Americans. It was a privilege to participate in the
event.
You will recall that when in Helsinki, the President invited
President Koivisto to visit Washington. Relative to his U.S.
visit, Dr. Eamon Kelly, President of Tulane University in New
Orleans, and I called on President Koivisto last week and he
told us he would like to visit New Orleans and that he would be
willing to make an address there. He indicated he would like
to combine his visit to the South with the trip to Washington,
D.C.
Tulane Commencement is Sunday, May 12, 1990, so a visit to
President Bush in Washington either the week of May 6 or the
week of May 13 would permit both an address at Tulane on May 12
and a visit with President Bush.
As Head of State visits are planned long in advance it would be
helpful for President Koivisto and the Embassy here to know if
a schedule along the lines suggested above is possible.
NOW that you are a veteran traveler to Finland, come back and
stay with us.
Virginia joins me in sending our best to you and Nancy.
Sincerely
John Tack Giffen Weinmann
P.S. The original of this letter is in the mail to you.

Dear John,
During the 1988 campaign you and I both worked closely with Gary
MacDougal and learned first-hand of Gary's integrity, loyalty,
competence and dedication to the principles of the Bush
Administration.
Gary would make an excellent successor to Elizabeth Dole as
Secretary of Labor. Not only is his background and experience well-
suited to this position, but as a member of the Cabinet, he will
be a reliable part of the President's team.
Gary has an impressive record as a successful business executive,
experience in dealing with organized labor, and a fine record of
public service, not only in the Bush campaign and at the United
Nations, but also as a member of the Secretary of Labor's
Commission on Work Force Productivity and Quality. Finally, you
will probably agree that his engineering background marks him as
a man of solid good sense.
I hope you will give Gary strong consideration for filling this
vital post in the Administration.
Sincerely,
Paul

The Honorable John H. Sununu

Dear Governor Sununu:
The Board of the National Republican Institute for International
Affairs (NRI) met several weeks ago to consider a group of
candidates to head the Institute, among them, Dr. Constantine
Menges, Jim Denton, Ed Fox, Belden Bell, and Sam Watson.
Subsequently, the above five met with the Board of Directors of
the NRI for what they were told was the final interview leading
to the selection of the next president.
To date, none of the participants have received any official word
of their status. The unofficial word is that the White House
decided to appoint a new director, probably from among any number
of losing Republican candidates in November's elections. Many
members of the Board are said to be very upset at what is now
perceived to be a bogus competition, and angry at the lack of
consideration for the excellent applicants who submitted to this
process expecting a democratic contest.
This apparent circumvention of the NRI's own constitutional
procedures, as well as the implicit disregard of Congress'
specific legislative mandate that the NED and its component
institutes be governed by autonomous boards independent of the
Executive Branch, is unwise. The four-month-old NRI vacancy
comes at a time when the Institute should be in the forefront of
U.S. efforts to assist democracy abroad. The revolution in which
our party and its leadership played a key role is now in its
critical infancy. Pro-democracy parties and governments around
the world are calling for help. The Democratic Party's Institute
is selling their ideas aggressively -- our "default" presents
them with no competition. This continuing imbalance undermines
what base of support exists for the NED and NRI within our party.
The Honorable John H. Sununu
Page 2
October 22, 1990
Thirty-five of my colleagues expressed their support for Dr.
Menges to the Board, and did so expecting that the selection
process would proceed accordingly. I strongly urge you to remove
any "hold" on the process and communicate this decision to the
Board directly.
Sincerely,
Malcoln Malcolm Wallop

10 October, 1990.
Greetings from the Desert,
This is an informal, unsolicited observation from a member of one
of Operation Desert Shield.
of the Seabee battalions, stationed here in Saudi Arabia in support
I was watching Saudi Television tonight and I saw a video segment
showing President Bush conferring with an Arab leader. I don't under-
stand Arabic, but I believe the President was meeting with Prince
Faizel. While watching all the previous coverage of the Arabs on
television I noted how neatly dressed and perfect they were in their
gowns. I couldn't help but notice on the segment featuring the
President, that President Bush's tie was askew and in need of a
tie clasp. I understand he is terrifically busy and his schedule
is hectic, but attention to a minor detail such as this may make
a better impression. You can file this letter under the "In Case
You'd Like to Know" file. Thanks for your attention and let the
President know that the troops, or more specifically, the Seabees
are doing well over here in Saudi.
Kindest Regards,
Bill Bill Writz Winter
P.S. - My hometown is Nobleboro, Maine and to this day, I still
treasure a 1980 thank you letter from George Bush, who was then
a candidate for President and for whom I was a delegate to the
Maine State Republican Convention.

Dear Honorable John Sununu:
On behalf of the 1991 Komen Washington Race for the Cure, we
would like to extend an invitation to you and a guest to attend a
special evening at the Kennedy Center for an opera performance of
La Boheme on November 14, 1990. We are pleased to have this
opportunity available for you to meet some of our sponsors and
special contributors.
The Komen Foundation works on a nationwide basis to raise
funds for the advancement of breast cancer research. The 1990
Washington Race for the Cure was the largest of many 5K races.
Held in Washington on June 16, 1990, the Washington Race for the
Cure drew over 8,500 registered runners/walkers and raised over
$500,000.
One of our Komen contributors, Mr. Shoichi Asaji, Chairman
of NBS Group Ltd., has provided these complimentary tickets to
attend this special performance. Because of two recent family
encounters with cancer, Mr. Asaji has taken a personal and sincere
interest in cancer related issues.
Yoko Watanabe, a premier Japanese opera performer, and a
long time family friend of Mr. Asaji, will perform the lead of
Mimi. As a tribute to her enormous talent, to introduce others to
the work of the Foundation and to thank those who supported the
Race for the Cure, we will also host a reception at the Kennedy
Center in the Opera Tier South from 6:30 PM until 7:45 PM. Mr.
Asaji will introduce Ms. Yoko Watanabe at the reception and after
the performance.
Attached is an article from The New York Times praising Ms.
Watanabe's performance in "Madama Butterfly". Tickets for La
Boheme are in great demand, we encourage you to RSVP as soon as
possible. Please note: These tickets are intended for addressee
only. Please contact Kathleen Parker at (202) 296-9200 to RSVP.
We hope that you will help us celebrate the success of the
1990 Komen Washington Race for the Cure. We especially look
forward to working with you in 1991.
Sincerely,
Karen William

Dear Dr. Sununu,
of NRC commissioner.
I understand that Professor Ted Webster has been nominated for the position
Ted would be an outstanding choice. He has spent his recent years keeping
physicians at Massachusetts General Hospital under control, as far as their uses
of radiation and radioactivity are concerned. This is an aspect of their job the
commission could well pay attention.
At the same time he understands well the crazy claims of some who would
shut down nuclear power plants. He was willing to appear on TV after Three Mile
Island and Chernobyl to explain the facts carefully and repudiate nonsense. For
example, he joined me in repudiating the nonsense surrounding Seabrook.
I hope that his candidacy will be considered seriously, and that you will
pass this letter on to whoever is concerned.
Yours Rechard arle sincerely,
Richard Wilson
Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sununu:
Within the next few weeks, you will receive an
invitation from the Trustees of the National Gallery of
Art to attend a dinner celebrating the forthcoming
exhibition of works by renowned photographer Paul Strand.
The exhibition will mark the centennial of the
birth of Strand, who would have been 100 years old on
October 16, 1990. It will include approximately 150 of
Strand's photographs, several of which have never been
exhibited before.
Strand once wrote that through his photographs
he strove to reveal "the essential character of a place
and its people." Through this outstanding exhibition, you
will be able to experience the remarkable range of his
talent and insight.
The black-tie event and preview of the art will
be held at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., on
November 28, 1990.
Southwestern Bell Corporation and the
Southwestern Bell Foundation are proud to make the
exhibition possible. I hope you will reserve the evening
of November 28 for this memorable event.
If there are any questions regarding the event,
you may contact the Special Events office at the National
Gallery on 202 842-6043 or Melinda Hart on 314 235-0559.
They will be happy to assist.
I look forward to seeing you there.

The Honorable John Sununu

Dear Mr. Sununu:
I am writing to you as a follow-up to a letter sent to you by the
Greater Claremont Chamber of Commerce dated September 27, 1990.
The letter contains inaccuracies and as both a Banker and a
member of the Chamber's Executive Committee, I am compelled to
clarify and correct the Chamber's letter. I was unaware, until
today, of the contents of the letter in which I find two
references to credit availability.
It is certainly no secret that New Hampshire banking institutions
are experiencing difficult times, but I most vigorously disagree
with Mrs. Crawford's statement that "...it has become next to
impossible for a good solid businessman to obtain the credit
necessary to remain solid in these times." My bank, for one, has
not gotten out of the lending business and does not contemplate
ceasing its lending operations. We have, and will continue to
have, funds available for credit-worthy customers and I am sure
that other banks in the Claremont area continue to extend credit.
The economy in this area is not great and times are tough, but
there is most certainly credit available.
Sincerely,
President - Upper Valley

Dear Mr. Sununu:
Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait has plunged the world into its
most severe crisis since the end of the Cold War. American troops have been
deployed in the largest military action since Vietnam. How the confrontation
in the Persian Gulf will end is unknown, but it seems to us, as publishers, that
the underlying issues prompting our intervention demand the kind of thorough
examination that only a book provides. Therefore, we asked Judith Miller of
The New York Times and Laurie Mylroie of Harvard University to write a
book that would give the public the historical and political background
necessary to understand this unfolding conflict. The result is the enclosed
85,000-word primer on the crisis.
We believe we have accomplished something virtually unprecedented
in the annals of American publishing. Almost all previous "instant books"
have been written either by teams of journalists, or they have simply reprinted
government documents or reports. By contrast, Saddam Hussein and the Crisis
in the Gulf is a wholly original work of incisive scholarship and superior
journalism written in 21 days by two gifted writers. We hope you will share
our conviction that the book will make a significant contribution to a
deepening public debate over our aims and policies in the Middle East.
If you have the time and inclination, we should be grateful for any
thoughts you care to share with us regarding the publication of this book. We
hope of course to attract the widest possible readership.
Atablam Sincerely yours,
Steve Wasserman

Dear Governor Sununu,
Thank you very much for calling Wednesday afternoon.
Prudential has a long history of supporting real deficit
reduction. Your package does that, and I will work for
passage of the necessary resolutions. In the light of
our conversation, I have issued the enclosed press
release and have made several personal calls to members
of the New Jersey delegation urging them to vote for the
resolution.
I recognize that you do not support my number two
priority of getting the life insurance company number
down, but we can differ on that. The key is that we can
rely on Administration opposition to any changes from the
summit package which would increase the Prudential's
taxes further.
Thank you for the suggestion on handling the living needs
legislation -- I have passed it along. It is my
impression that the sponsors will try to make the budget
reconciliation the vehicle for this change as well,
presuming it clears the revenue neutrality hurdle.
Again, I appreciate the phone call. Best wishes.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Sununu:
In a few short days, we will be faced with the possibility of a federal
budget sequester. It is no secret that the mandatory furloughing of federal
employees will have a devastating impact not only on government operations,
but on the lives of the individuals affected.
On behalf of the National Association of Conservation Districts, I'd
like to draw your attention to the possible impacts these furloughs would have
on our nation's soil and water conservation efforts.
In the 1985 Food Security Act, Congress gave conservation districts and
their cooperating federal partners a major job to do in implementing soil and
water conservation practices on agricultural lands throughout the country.
While it's been an arduous battle, often in the face of severe staff and
funding shortages, the nation's conservation professionals have done an
exemplary job of meeting the challenges of the 1985 Farm Bill.
But their work is by no means over. These individuals have dedicated
their professional lives to working with American farmers to protect and
improve our natural resources. Any interruption in their work will severely
affect them, the nation's farmers, and the implementation of conservation
programs and practices throughout the country.
I urge you to continue working to find a swift and practical solution to
our current budget troubles. And I urge you to consider carefully the impacts
a work stoppage would have on nation's conservation programs and
professionals.
Sincerely,
Robert Wetherbee

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE JOHN SUNUNU
CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE PRESIDENT
THE HONORABLE BRENT SCOWCROFT
ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT
FOR NATIONAL SECURITY AFFAIRS
SUBJECT:
STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE TEST SALE-90
SITUATION REPORT #1
John:
Following the President's direction late Wednesday, September 26,
to perform a 5 million barrel test drawdown of the Strategic
Petroleum Reserve (SPR), I ordered on September 27 an immediate
activation of the SPR drawdown process. Actions taken to date
include:
1.
Final SPR operational readiness preparations,
including curtailment of interfering operational and
construction activities, preparation of detailed
operational plans, acceleration of preventive
maintenance actions, and establishment of a proper
security posture.
2.
Final preparation and issuance of a Notice of Sale
which was mailed (overnight express/U.S. mail) to over
250 potential bidders Friday afternoon, September 28.
This Notice of Sale will offer crude oil for sale from
four SPR storage sites for delivery by either
pipeline, barge, or ship. While deliveries of crude
oil may commence as early as October 13, such quick
action is dependent on purchaser's ability to arrange
transportation. Most crude oil is expected to be
delivered during November at a rate of approximately
167,000 barrel per day. A Press Release identifying
the salient features of the Test Notice of Sale was
issued late Friday, September 28.
Future planned events and dates are as follows:
0 Offerors' Bids Received
October 5
0 Apparently Successful Offerors Notified
October 10
0 Financial Guarantees Submitted
October 11-17
0 Deliveries Scheduled
October 11-31
0 SPR Achieves Full Operational Readiness
October 12
0 Contracts Awarded
October 12-18
0 Early Deliveries Occur*
October 13-31
0 Deliveries at Contracted Rate Occur
November 1-30
* Subject to contract award and purchasers' request and
ability to arrange transportation
I will keep you advised of the progress as well as an assessment
of the success of this test.

The Honorable John H. Sununu
Chief of Staff to the President
The White House
West Wing, Room 1
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Governor:
It was good to see you and Nancy at the Zeliff dinner Monday
evening. He is an impressive candidate and we will continue
to support him.
Three things:
1. As a followup to our conversation, I have attached a
brief description of the proposed first cellular telephone
call from Eastern Europe, to the President. Please give us
feedback on whether this is possible. If the President
cannot receive the call, we would request Secretary
Mosbacher or others at your recommendation (Quayle?).
2. In addition, I have attached a one-paragraph update for
you on the proposal to link the USSR with Europe through
fiber optics. We continue to work with departments of the
Executive Branch in the quest for American business
opportunities in that global project.
3. Finally, I have attached the description of a pending
tax issue which would be very harmful to the utility
industry and would represent a major reduction in revenue to
the Treasury Department.
Any attention to these issues from your office would be
greatly appreciated.
Again, if receiving the call from Hungary fits the
President's agenda, we would be thrilled with the
opportunity to participate.
Sincerely,
Laird

Re: ACSH request for White House assistance
in requesting that an apparent Environmental
Protection Agency endorsement
for DIET FOR A POISONED PLANET be retracted
Dear Governor Sununu:
On July 12, 1990, I wrote to you expressing my grave concern
about the baseless anxieties of many Americans about alleged
cancer risks from pesticide residues in our food supply. (copy
attached)
I was particularly concerned that a new book DIET FOR A
POISONED PLANET, which was more scare tactics about food
quality, carried a preface and endorsement by a Senior
Scientist from the Environmental Protection Agency. I asked you
to look into the matter, and deeply appreciated your
willingness to do SO.
On August 7, 1990 at your request, Ede Holiday, Assistant to
the President and Secretary of the Cabinet, wrote a letter to
me indicating that she had contacted the EPA and that the
Senior Scientist would not identify himself as an EPA
representative, but rather as an individual. (copy attached)
But as you can see from the attached preface, the EPA scientist
identifies himself in signing the endorsement as a "Senior
Science Advisor, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency". A
footnote adds a weak disclaimer that he is an "individual", but
if he is an individual why did he invoke the title of the
Environmental Protection Agency?

because clearly readers will assume that the EPA itself made
the endorsement.
We are confident that during every media appearance that Mr.
Steinman makes (we have the details of his nationwide tour,
beginning with NBC TODAY on October 16th, and ending with CBS
Morning News November on 2, days before the election involving
the "Big Green" referendum in California), reference will be
made to the preface "by the Environmental Protection Agency".
We believe that the EPA should demand that the preface be
withdrawn and re-written to omit the EPA affiliation and that
the EPA should publically distance itself from the book.
I enclose a draft of a book review by Dr. Arthur Craigmill,
from University of California at Davis which indicates that
this book is pure rubbish and likely to mislead the public.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Mr. Sununu:
I write to update you on the possibility that an old acquaintance (by
way of the Board of Trustees of Wediko Children's Services in our work with
the State of New Hampshire) may, finally, be coming on board with the
administration. I am also a "veteran" of that mad week in New Hampshire
after the Iowa caucus!
Last Friday I had a pleasant set of interviews with persons in Mr.
Untermeyer's office as well as with the White House liaison at HHS and
Assistant Secretary Mason, not to mention the State Department.
Selected items of correspondence with Mr. Untermeyer's office I
enclose for your convenient review and file. I do think the administration
will need all the strong supporters of the President who are also fluent in
scientific and technical matters in order to address the pressing problems
A merica faces today.
I have been supporting the President since the early 1970's. I think
you are doing a great job as the (self-described) Chief "pussycat". I thank
you for whatever good words your office might attach to my efforts to serve
in the administration and most of all for your service to the nation.
Sincerely,

The Honorable John H. Sununu

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N. W.
Washington, D. C. 20500
Dear Governor Sununu:
It is recognized that a variety of tax proposals are being considered to address
the deficit as it relates to the current budget debate. To that end I am writing to
express my concern about a recent proposal to levy a 0.5 percent securities transfer
excise tax (STET) on the sale of securities. Such a proposal would reduce public
pension plan investment earnings. These losses would have to be made up by higher
state and local taxes since we are legally bound to provide a certain level of
benefits. The end result is higher costs for state and local governments and
limited resources to protect the value of retirement benefits against inflation for
our 218,000 active and retired participants.
Based on our pension fund's current market activities, this tax would cost our
system an estimated $9,333,117 annually (U. S. Treasury Bonds excluded). These
would be dollars that are not returned to our fund to pay for benefits. Our plan is
a defined benefit plan. This means we have promised to pay a specified benefit to
individuals vested in our system. If investment earnings are used to pay transfer
taxes and not returned to the pension trust for the payment of benefits or to earn
additional investment income, the shortfall will have to be paid by the sponsoring
government. In reality, it will be the taxpayers of Mississippi who will pay.
The value of retirement benefits over time will also be affected. Most state
and local pension systems grant cost-of-living increases on an ad hoc basis. These
increases serve to maintain the purchasing power of retirement benefits. Employers
will find it increasingly difficult to make these adjustments because of the
reduction in investment earnings to pay for them.
Some attempt to justify the STET on the basis of reducing excessive speculation
and churning. Public pension plans are long-term investors and therefore this tax
is not needed as a inducement to change investment behavior. Given your strong
support to public pension systems over the years, we urge you to reject this
proposal. It will raise the cost of funding public pension plans and result in
higher state and local government taxes and lower pension benefits.
Sincerely,
D.
Sailor

Dear Governor Sununu:
We are deeply concerned about the devastating impacts of a Presidential sequestration
order on the livestock industry. We urge you to take the necessary measures to avoid the
sequestration.
The Meat Inspector furloughs brought about by the sequester would result in shutting
down livestock packing plants. The losses from such an action to the livestock industry
alone could be in excess of $140 million dollars per day, not to mention the lost wages
and tax revenues.
Full inspection of meat is required by law and is necessary to keep the livestock industry
competitive. We have been contacted by some of the largest meat packers in the U.S.
telling of their plans to completely shut down for up to 4 1/2 days in the 2nd week of
October. Pork would be particularly impacted, due to differences with other meats in
packaging and handling techniques.
Pork producers also have virtually no options on the farm to hold their animals: when
they're ready, they must go to market! The space is needed on the farm, the product is
needed at retail and foodservice, and the complications to the food marketing chain are
manifold in holding hogs off the market for even a few days. Thus, not only the short,
but especially the long term impacts on pork prices could be disastrous.
The budget sequestration would also impede the Pseudorabies (PRV) Eradication and
Control program. Furloughing federal employees involved in this program will only serve
to delay the eradication of a disease which costs U.S. pork producers $30 million dollars
annually.
The sequestration order will not only hurt the PRV eradication program and shut down
the packing industry; but will deprive key federal workers their jobs, deny consumers of
a steady supply of product, and decrease government revenues from taxes. We urge
immediate action to prevent sequestration.
Sincerely,
mike Wehler

Dear John:
Virginia's snapshot of you, Nancy and me at Senate Square here
in Helsinki turned out well although Nancy is looking at her
camera. We thought you might enjoy having a copy and it is
enclosed.
The Embassy here appreciated your visit and the opportunity to
show you Helsinki.
To say that there is a high level of excitement here currently
is a gross understatement. We anticipate a successful visit
and are looking forward to having the President with us.
Virginia joins me in sending you and Nancy our very best.
Sincerely yours,

Mr. John H. Sununu
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Governor Sununu:
As the budget negotiations progress, I want to make sure you
are aware of a tax matter that could result in significant
additional revenue in the next few years, without any changes to the
tax code.
During the last 10 months congressional investigators have
studied tax and revenue data for certain foreign-owned subsidiaries
located in the United States, and have found that there may be a
widespread practice of tax avoidance. The data is still
preliminary, but experts in transfer-pricing cases--where a
subsidiary pays inflated prices for products to an overseas parent,
and thus avoids paying taxes in this country--suggest that a
reasonable estimate of the unpaid taxes that could be recovered are
in the neighborhood of $10 billion for each of the last five tax
years.
I have urged the IRS to establish a strike force of experts
within the agency to investigate and, if the evidence supports it,
to pursue these unpaid taxes. I have enclosed for your review a
copy of the special order speech that I made on the House floor on
the subject. This is an issue that will evoke a strong response from
American taxpayers, and I hope that you will take a personal
interest in this matter.
With best wishes.

Dear Mr. Sununu:
Enclosed is a copy of my second novel, SHADOW FLIGHT, for your
review.
SHADOW FLIGHT is a fast-paced thriller about the disappearance
of a B-2 Stealth bomber. Funding for the B-2 program has been
sharply curtailed, and we are at "peace" with the Soviet Union.
So, who has our B-2, where did they take it, and what do they
plan to do with it?
Steve Wickham, the main character in my first novel, DEFCON
ONE, is back to answer those questions.
I hope you enjoy the book. I would be delighted to have your
comments.
Best regards,
Joe Weber

Hon. John Sununu:
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Governor Sununu:
It was a pleasure seeing you recently and I appreciate your words
of encouragement.
As I promised, the following is some additional information I
received while attending a meeting of the New Jersey Coalition
Against Aircraft Noise (NJCAAN).
NJCAA represents several thousand concerned citizens from more
than 200 communities throughout the state. They have come
together in a joint effort to roll back the Federal Aviation
Administration's 1987 Expanded East Coast Plan (EECP).
I met with NJCAAN's president, Mr. Craig Cantoni and about one
hundred members of the organization. I was impressed with their
intelligent and responsible approach to central New Jersey's
problem with airport noise.
I am convinced that the FAA should revalue its EECP decision and
take into account the noise and safety impact of the new routes
on the most densely populated part of the nation's most densely
populated state.
NJCAAN is also attempting to convince the Port Authority of New
York/New Jersey to eliminate the use of Stage 2 aircraft at
Newark International Airport. As you may know, Stage 2 aircraft
is the designation for older, noisier and less fuel efficient
aircraft still operating at our country's major airports.
Paid for by Whitman For U.S. Senate
pg. 2
Governor Sununu
Stage 3 aircraft, which are currently available to the airline
industry, would provide immediate and significant relief to the
effected areas. It must be noted that no Environmental Impact
Study has yet been done to assess the impact of the changed
routes on the communities and no public hearings were ever held.
I respectfully request that your office review the enclosed
materials and hope that you will decide to facilitate discussions
with officials at the FAA.
These concerned citizens have a very real and legitimate claim to
a loss to their quality of life. No due process of law has been
offered to these individuals and families for their loss.
I believe that Congress is moving too slowly in adopting new
legislation to require the FAA to develop a national noise
abatement policy. However, I hope that President Bush and his
administration will come to the aid of our residents.
Again, thank you for your offer of assistance. I look forward to
your response on this important issue.
Sincerely,

RE: FEDERAL BOATING TAX PROPOSALS
DEAR MR. SUNUNU:
NORTHWEST MARINE TRADE ASSOCIATION (NMTA) REPRESENTS MORE THAN 900
MANUFACTURERS AND RETAILERS OF RECREATIONAL MARINE-RELATED PRODUCTS.
NMTA, AS A GROUP, IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL IMPLEMENTA-
TION OF LUXURY TAXES AND USER FEES ON THE INDUSTRY AND BOATERS.
THE INDUSTRY, WHICH IS DEPRESSED, WOULD BE DEVASTATED IN THE EVENT A
LUXURY TAX WAS TO BE IMPLEMENTED. IT IS PROVEN THAT A ONE PERCENT
(1%) INCREASE IN COST, IE - A TAX, WOULD REDUCE SALES BY TWO PERCENT
(2%). IT IS EASY TO APPRECIATE THE IMPACT THAT THE LUXURY TAX WOULD
HAVE.
MOST OF THE PEOPLE BUYING BOATS COME FROM THE MIDDLE CLASS SEGMENT OF
OUR COUNTRY. THEY PURCHASE OUTBOARD-POWERED FISHING BOATS, GENERALLY
IN THE 15-T0-16-FOOT CATEGORY. ADDITIONAL USER FEES WOULD CERTAINLY
HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE DISCRETIONARY DOLLAR WITH WHICH THESE
INDIVIDUALS HAVE TO RECREATE. THIS, IN TURN, WILL HAVE AN EFFECT ON
OTHER SEGMENTS OF THE ECONOMY SUCH AS THE FISHING TACKLE INDUSTRY.
THE NEAR-TERM GAINS THAT THE GOVERNMENT MIGHT DERIVE FROM THESE TAXES
CERTAINLY WOULD EVAPORATE RIGHT ALONG WITH EMPLOYMENT OF MANY
THOUSAND PEOPLE. I QUESTION SERIOUSLY IF THIS WOULD BE IN EVERYONE'S
BEST INTEREST. WE ASK THAT YOU ABE PARTICULARLY SENSITIVE TO OUR
CONCERNS.
SINCERELY,
WILLIAM F. WEST,
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Representing Social Security Field Office Employees Throughout New England
(Affiliated with AFL-CIO)
29 Cottage Ave, Suite 6, P.O. Box 454, Quincy, MA 02269 (617) 770-1166
August 27, 1990
Dear Mr. Sununu:
As a government worker, American taxpayer, and representee of
Local 1164, of the American Federation of Government
Employees, AFL-CIO, I urge you to get on with the budget
negotiation process and reach a compromise for a fair and
equitable budget for FY 1991, free of the threatened
sequestration process mandated by the unrealistic Gramm-
Rudman-Hollings budget balancing law.
The massive government worker furloughs resulting from the
sequestration process would wreak havoc on the lives of
government workers and their families, gut vital services to
the American public, and devastate local economies, pushing
this country closer to the brink of a serious recession.
Government workers are just like all other Americans. We
must buy new clothes for our kids' first day at school, meet
mortgage and rent payments, visit the doctor and dentist, and
pay higher gas and heating fuel prices.
In a particular, as a Social Security employee, I deplore the
use of our aged, blind and disabled citizens as hostages in
the budget negotiation process.
We have already sacrificed over $130 billion in lost
compensation over the last ten years. Now, on top of lower
pay, escalating health premiums, constant threats to our
retirement programs, and unfair political restraints, we must
face a serious threat to our job security. The severe
recruitment and retention problems already well documented
throughout the government will only be exacerbated by this
most recent threat of massive furloughs and reduced financial
security.
I urge you to bring sanity and reason to the budget process
and reach a rational compromise to reduce the deficit that
does not once again single out the government worker to bear
the brunt of this nation's financial problems.
Sincerely,
- To Do For All That Which None Can Do Alone -

Dear Mr. Sunumu:
The article in today's Wall Street Journal, "Wrong War - U.S. Military Lacks
Some Tools It Needs In the Mideast Crisis", shows very clearly that Secretary
Cheney is not getting the Planning guidance from the military that is required
for our national security. The Middle East has been a key strategic area for decades.
We suggest that you and Secretary Cheney have a chat about the Study of the
Military which we enclosed with our letter of July 20th.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Kennedy,
Recently, I. called Chief of Staff John Sununu's office in
regards to getting a photo opportunity with Mr. Sununu. They, in
turn, told me to write to you to ask for the photo op.
Three other Michigan Teenage Republicans and myself will be
making a short trip to Washington, D.C. to meet our government
officials and sightsee. Governor Sununu is on the top of our list
for people we would like to meet. He inspires us and stands up
for our beliefs in the White House.
The requested meeting would mean a great deal to us. I assure
that we would be as brief as possible and take much of his busy
schedule. The days we will be available are Friday, Sept. 28 and
Thursday, Sept. 27 ( preferably on Friday). Our schedule would be
at your disposal and we can work out whatever is convenient for
you and Governor Sununu. Thank You!
