This effort, termed the "International Baltic Economic Commission" (IBEC), reprises Hudson's earlier work in Hungary - a project that has already yielded considerable success for both the Hungarian economy and our relationship with that country. On October 28-30, 1991, IBEC will conclude the first cycle of its work with a major international conference in Indianapolis at which initial policy recommendations will be discussed and approved. We are honored that the Prime Ministers of all three Baltic States plan to attend the conference. My purpose in contacting you is to request an Oval Office meeting between President Bush and the Prime Ministers following their sessions in Indianapolis. The President has consistently emphasized the importance of establishing market economies in the Eastern European countries now emerging from the failures of centralized Communist planning -- including the critical link between economic freedom and individual liberty -- and has encouraged Americans to provide practical assistance to those countries of just the sort Hudson is giving. As you well know, nowhere has America's support of the principles of freedom and self-determination been expressed more consistently or for a longer period of time than it has with respect to the Baltic States. During his recent visit to Moscow, the President called the forced incorporation of the Baltic countries into the Soviet Union "one of the darkest legacies of the Stalin era," and stated that "men and women of reason and goodwill can find a way to extend freedom to the Baltic republics." A meeting of the President with the Baltic Prime Ministers in connection with the Hudson-sponsored conference would be a superb opportunity to reemphasize the Herman Kahn Center P.O.

I deeply appreciate your assistance, and sincerely hope the President's schedule will allow him to meet with our distinguished visitors. If we can provide any further information or do anything else to help make such a meeting possible, please do not hesitate to let me know. Sincerely, mitel Mitchell E.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear John: The report that the President is considering Missouri Governor John Ashcroft to succeed Dick Thornburg as Attorney General is one of the most encouraging "rumors" we have heard in years. Thanks for what you are doing to advance his name. John Ashcroft is eminently qualified for the position, possesses impeccable character, and holds the right values in this time of culture conflict. It will interest you to know that in the summer of 1988, several weeks before George Bush received the nomination at New Orleans, a group of us meeting at his residence suggested John Ashcroft as one of three potential vice presidential nominees who would send a strong positive signal to evangelicals. Faitbrully yours, Robert P. Dugan, Jr. Director RPDJr:jdk P.S. On the personal level, I am pulling for Bob Gates to become the Director of Central Intelligence.

Washington, DC 20500 Dear John: Every year, the employees of Aetna Life & Casualty launch a major fund-raising campaign to benefit the United Way and Combined Health Appeal. Our campaign is one of the largest and most successful in the country. In fact, last year we raised more than $3,000,000 for the 144 health and human service agencies funded by United Way in Central Connecticut. This year we are sponsoring a celebrity auction as part of our fund-raising efforts and hope that you will participate by donating an autographed item to the auction. We would greatly appreciate any signed personal item such as a tee shirt, book, sports equipment, etc. If you can donate something, please send your contribution by September 5, to me at the address above. A return address label is enclosed for your convenience. All items donated will be publicized to Aetna's 15,000 Hartford-based employees and a contribution from you will create a great deal of excitement and interest. Thank you very much for your consideration and support of this worthwhile cause.

As such, our members are very interested in the current debate over the protection of wetlands. It has come to our attention that the Environmental Protection Agency is attempting to derail the recently announced compromise of the Council on Competitiveness regarding wetlands delineation.

Super, dated July 19, 1991. We fully understand the demands on the President's time, but are nevertheless disappointed that he will be unable to attend our meeting. I trust this is not indicative of a waning interest in fisheries issues. As you know, groundfish management in New England continues to pose a formidable challenge to the Council. Our invitation, as you will recall, also included you. Both bluefish and striped bass should be very good fishing at the time of our meeting and if you are in New England I hope you will drop in on us on either the eighteenth or nineteenth.

Rosenbaum for a seat on the United States Court of Appeals 2nd Circuit. I met Richard (Dick) Rosenbaum when he was Chairman of the New York Republican State Committee and he has been a good friend for many years as well as a staunch supporter of the Hispanic community and its interests. He has worked with us diligently to help achieve equity in the economic, political and social empowerment of Hispanics, and for that we are grateful. As you know, Rosenbaum is an experienced legal practitioner with excellent credentials and qualifications to fill this vacancy. He is not only a former member of the New York State Supreme Court, but also a member of the fine law firm of Nixon, Hargrave, Devans & Doyle. In addition he is currently the New York member of the Republican National Committee and has been a tireless worker for the Republican party and for President Bush during the last Presidential Campaign. Rosenbaum is a strong supporter of the judicial philosophy characterized by the recent decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court and would be a great credit to the President's administration. I urge you to appoint Mr. Rosenbaum to this important judicial post.

COUNCIL OF HIGHER EDUCATION Bilkent, Ankara, Turkey July 25, 1991 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC USA Dear Mr Sununu: President Bush's visit to Turkey marks a historic event in the relations of our two countries. It will be a milestone towards closer cooperation in building a better world dedicated to peace and prosperity. This view is shared by an overwhelming portion of our population. As you well know, in the statements of the presidents of both our countries closer ties in education, among other areas, were emphasized. As the person responsible for higher education in this country, I am extremely pleased at that part of their sentiments, because I believe that investment in education yields more dividends than any other investment. In Turkey we are experimenting with a type of private university which is an outstanding feature in American higher education but practically unknown in Europe. Bilkent University, after a long period of planning, admitted its first students at all levels, including at graduate levels, five years ago. Within a short time it developed into a center of excellence at national level. The student tuition fees meet about 26% of the expenses, an equal portion coming from research contracts and government subsidies. The remainder is met by endowments. This new school is going to serve as a bridge between institutions of higher education in our two countries. Bilkent has already established a sister relationship with Carnegie Mellon University as well as with Johns Hopkins. The faculty are of the highest caliber, and almost all of them have earned their doctorates from leading American universities, many having also had teaching and research experience in your country. Many of them of Turkish origin have left lucrative careers in the United States to confront the stimulating challenge of building a model institution for this part of the world. -2- tudents are selected with great care, and the competition for admission to Bilkent is fierce. Only those with the highest competence are accepted, a large number of them on scholarship. One of the main features of Bilkent University is its library. We are in the process of building a one-million volume collection of books, journals and many non-book materials such as videocassettes, audiocassettes, an art archive, sheet music and records. The Documentation Center which was established in cooperation with our Council of Higher Education, located at a distance of about a 10-minute walk from the main campus, subscribes to some 15,000 periodicals. It performs on-line searches of the hundreds of Dialog databases. The immediate purpose of my writing to you is to request that the Bilkent University Library be made a recipient of publications of the U.S. Government Printing Office. As you know, many universities, for example Columbia University in New York, are depository libraries for U.S. government documents. If Bilkent University Library is granted this status, we would be responsible for the costs of shelving and maintenance of the documents, which would be made available to all interested parties, not merely members of the Turkish higher education community. A more specific selection could be made by us from the the List of Classes of United States Government Publications Available for Selection by Depository Libraries but a preliminary list of branches of government, agencies, etc, for which we are particularly interested in receiving the documents available for distribution is attached. We want to acquire those available in hard copy, not microform. On your way to the aircraft at your departure from Turkey, I mentioned that I would be writing to you regarding these GPO items. I shall be extremely grateful for your assistance. This will be one of the major contributions of your visit to our country in the field of higher education. I look forward to your response. Sincerely yours, the Xapm, Ihsan Dogramaci President, Council of Higher Education P.S. The contact person for supply of the documents to Bilkent is Phyllis L. Erdogan, MLS, PhD, Librarian, Bilkent University, 06533 Bilkent, Ankara, Turkey; tel. (4)266-4472; fax (4) 266-4391.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D. C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: The enclosed report to the President and Congress documents the importance of the Fulbright Program to the United States and 130 other nations of the world, including the soon-to-be 200,000 Fulbright alumni worldwide. Perhaps more important than any other report ever issued in the 45-year history of this Board, the significance of this year's report has already been highlighted by the United States Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy, which said in its own annual report: The J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board has served since 1946 to oversee the Fulbright program. Concerned about efforts to stretch the program's reach despite declining resources, distortions of the traditional Fulbright mission, and erosion of the program's prestige, the Board in February 1991 released a White Paper on "The Future of the Fulbright Program." It urges Congress to increase Fulbright funding, and calls for a return to the program's roots: attractive, long-term awards in support of quality scholarship. The Commission welcomes the White Paper. Its conclusions merit close attention in Congress, the Administration, and the exchange community. (emphasis supplied) My colleagues and I welcome your views on the enclosed report of which the White Paper is a part. With best wishes. Sincerely, Charles W. Dunn Charles W. Dunn Chairman J.

July 10, 1991 The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff Office of the President The White House Washington, DC 20501 Subject: The Highway Bill and the White House Council on Competitiveness Dear Governor: Neither the Senate, nor the House of Representatives has included Section 508 (a) of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act which the President proposed last February in their versions of the highway bill. That section would prohibit the states from regulating rates, routes, or services of interstate motor carriers. That section will stimulate innovative services and add critical mass to the distribution systems operated by U.S. industry. We need these improvements to strengthen our world competitiveness. Section 508 (a) will save U.S. business $25 billion. That amounts to a $100 savings for every person in America in the prices paid for goods and services. Chairman Robert Roe has explained that the Teamsters Union does not like Section 508 (a) so the Senate and House of Representatives has deferred to them. Are we going to allow the Teamsters Union to define and control productivity? Enclosed is a video tape and material that we presented in Washington, DC on June 7 in order to build support for the Administration's bill. It may be helpful to the staff of the White House Council on Competitiveness. Every President since Eisenhower has asked Congress to pass legislation with the language provided in Section 508 (a). Sinclair Weeks began the process in 1955. I certainly understand your frustration with Congress. Thank you and best wishes. Sincerely, Batneloney Robert V.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: I would like to invite you to join me for an event we are holding in Washington on Monday, September 23 for the "inaugural" meeting of the National Taxpayers Union (NTU) new major donor group -- the Jefferson Club - which I believe will interest you. The group is comprised of supporters who have contributed a minimum of $1,000 annually to our group. This "inaugural" meeting is set to be held at a convenient location to the Hill. I would be honored to have you share your thoughts with the major contributors to the National Taxpayers Union. As you are probably aware, the Jefferson Club includes some of America's leading advocates of reforming tax policy, and it is vitally important that they are provided the opportunity to meet with the national policy makers such as yourself. My preference is to have you speak during a meal; however, we would be delighted to have you as a speaker for a give-and-take half hour session during the morning or afternoon. I realize your time is valuable and am willing to accommodate your schedule. The ongoing success of NTU's Jefferson Club is dependent on a successful kick-off meeting. Crucial to this success is participation by people such as yourself. I sincerely hope you will be able to join us. Please let me know if you need any additional information, or have a member of your staff call Wendy Coomer at 543-1300. Thank you for your consideration.

July 3, 1991 Governor John H. Sununu The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor Sununu, I am terribly distressed at the petty, nitpicking, unfair beating you are taking from the media. I, along with most well informed people in these United States, feel you are doing a superb job and are in no small way responsible for the President's excellent performance and outstanding popularity rating. Keep up the fabulous job! I am certain that in due course you will be recognized as the great leader and statesman that you are. In the meantime, I am enclosing for your review a copy of a paper I prepared that I believe offers, if implemented, immediate positive results in getting the American economy moving again and, even more, has the potential to launch the greatest new growth ever achieved, tantamount to a new Industrial Revolution. Moreover, as you will quickly note, the "targeted" incentives proposed would cost very little in the way of revenues and produce what supply side economics was supposed to (but unfortunately never did) --a significant increase in the tax collections emanating from growth in productivity, capital investment, the explosion of entrepreneurialism, new jobs and the launching of new, profitable, permanently taxpaying businesses. Governor John H. Sununu July 3, 1991 Page Two I believe this is an idea whose time has come. Because you are one of the very few people with the wisdom and dynamism to help get such a proposal implemented, I hope you share in my belief in its validity and potential dramatic positive impact and in my optimistic enthusiasm for its outstanding success. With kindest personal regards, I am Sincerely, Marty J. Morton Davis Chairman of the Board Member "Team 100" JMD:kac P.S.

Dunn July 2, 1991 Chairman Gov. John Sununu Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: I am alarmed that some officials in the White House may be planning or suggesting a visit by the President to Washington state to praise Gov. Booth Gardner for his "efforts" on behalf of education. I am not sure how seriously this idea is being considered, but it is of great concern to me, Republican state legislators, and our Republican candidate for Governor next year. Gov. Gardner apparently has a good reputation on the education issue at the national level. But his reputation here in Washington state is dismal. Recently Gov. Gardner and his fellow Democrats in the state House scuttled education reforms proposed by state Senate Republicans. These reforms included merit pay for teachers, student achievement testing, alternative certification for teachers and parent councils. These Republican reform proposals are very similar to those being advanced by President Bush. Nearly half of Washington state's teachers went on strike earlier this year because they were frustrated with the Governor's and Legislature's lack of action to improve education. The Governor had to allow the Legislature to adjourn and go home for six weeks in order to break the strike. The head of the state teacher's union, Carla Nuxoll, recently said of Gov. Gardner: "At one time he offered an education-reform bill, with funding. But when it ran into trouble, he abandoned it totally and leaped onto something else." (Seattle Times, 2-3-91) Gov. Gardner's record on education within this state is a failure. He has not proposed the innovative and necessary education reforms which Republicans from the President on down to our own Senate Republican Caucus have championed. In fact, he has opposed these reform proposals. In addition to Gov. Gardner's sorry record on education, Republicans have a real chance to defeat him in 1992. State Sen. Dan McDonald, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, has launched his campaign for the Republican nomination. One of the issues which will work well 9 Lake Bellevue Drive Bellevue, Washington 98005 (206) 451-1988 unu nald is education. As chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, has worked to prioritize funding for education. Gardner insisted on expanding the bureaucratic. welfare machine. so don't want to push Gardner into the U.S. Senate race. Sen. ck Adams is extremely vulnerable and could be pushed out of the e by fellow Democrats. The last thing we need to do is help Gardner id give him encouragement to run for the U.S. Senate. The President eeds that Senate seat in Republican hands. hope you will quash this idea of a visit to praise Gov. Gardner on education. Of course, we would love for the President to visit Washington state.

Specifically, I am concerned that public silence from the White House has given tacit encouragement to many Republicans as well as Democrats who favor fuel tax increases in the guise of supporting infrastructure, competitiveness, energy conservation, deficit reduction, etc., etc. Therefore, I would encourage you to use a meeting with me to reaffirm the Administration's commitment to its no-new- taxes pledge as well as to its other objectives in the surface transportation bill, many of which are threatened by the bipartisan draft being prepared by the Public Works Committee.

DIXON CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER June 22, 1991 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: PRESIDENT'S "TURNOVER" PROPOSAL I am writing to express the County of Los Angeles' support for the concept of the President's "turnover" proposal, which is to provide states and localities with greater flexibility over the use of Federal funds and to reduce "red tape" and administrative costs. His proposal and similar ones offered by the National Governors' Association (NGA) and the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), however, are silent on the role of local governments. For example, the proposals do not address how funds would be shared with localities. We believe that it is essential to address this issue in any turnover proposal and recommend that, if funds are turned over to states with fewer "strings," then states should likewise pass-through funds to counties with a minimum of "strings." As a preferred alternative, we recommend that Federal grants be allocated directly to major local jurisdictions which administer the kinds of services that are funded by the grants. To the maximum extent possible, decisions on the use of funds should be left to local governments, the level of government that is more accessible to the people who receive the services. Moreover, some localities, such as Los Angeles County, are more populous than many states and also have bigger budgets than many state governments. The County's 1990 census population of 8.9 million is bigger than that of 42 of the 50 states. Honorable John H. Sununu June 22, 1991 Page 2 Direct Federal aid to localities especially makes sense for categorical grants which address needs that are concentrated in a relatively few urban areas. The President and Congress recognized this in authorizing emergency relief grants to localities heavily impacted by the AIDS epidemic under the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Emergency Resources Act of 1990. Only 17 urban areas account for nearly 60 percent of all AIDS cases nationally, and Los Angeles County alone has more reported AIDS cases than any single state except for California, Florida, New York, and Texas. Other comparable categorical grants, however, are not allocated directly to local governments on a formula basis, not even funding to assist homeless persons and refugees, who we all agree are heavily concentrated in a few areas. We believe that there are numerous Federal grants for which it would be programmatically appropriate and fiscally sound to make grants directly to the impacted local jurisdiction. The County of Los Angeles welcomes the opportunity to work with the President in improving the efficiency of government at all levels so that important needs can be better met with limited available resources. As a starting point for discussion, attached is a proposal, for your review, on how Federal aid might be allocated directly to major local jurisdictions on a pilot basis. If you have any questions, please call me, or your staff may contact Frieda Wallison of Jones, Day, Reavis, and Pogue, the County's Legislative Representatives in Washington, D.C., at (202) 879-3608 or Virginia A.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: This is to thank you for the excellent briefing for Presidential appointees to which you were kind enough to invite me on June 20. Before the presentation by Secretary Alexander, I was in a bit of a quandary about what to say in a speech this week to the Southern Educational Communications Association. Now I have my theme: I will challenge public broadcasters to put themselves explicitly behind President Bush's six ambitious goals for improving American education. Thus, the effects of last Thursday's event will continue to radiate outward. Years ago I served in the White House in another administration. I can tell you that your efforts to give Bush Presidential appointees a strong sense of inclusion and participation surpass anything that took place then. Again, my thanks for last Thursday and for all that you and the President are accomplishing. Most sincerely, Ervin S.

Your response to health care issues could not have been any better. As a representative of the New Jersey Medical Society, I would be more than happy to gather a small delegation of New Jersey physicians to visit you and your staff in Washington. This delegation would be made up of physicians who are directly involved with patient care and who can provide you with the necessary information to fórmulate a health care policy ,for the United States of America. We do not claim to have all of the answers or can we come up with an immediate solution. However, the AMA and the United States government have not been able to solve this problem which currently is at its worst and will not be changing too soon. We feel that physicians who care could possibly be what our country needs to solve this dilemma. All we ask is to give us a chance to participate. These physicians will speak freely, not just reiterating what the AMA has mandated. We truly understand your enormous schedule, however give us a morning of your and your staffs time if at all possible.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: I am writing to advise you about a proposal by Hadron, Inc., a Maryland based corporation, to locate its Kuwaiti Acquisition Management Activities at Pease Air Force Base. Hadron is an affiliate of Westinghouse specializing in procurement activities. It is presently negotiating with representatives of the United States and Kuwaiti governments to serve as Kuwait's procurement agent for US goods and services. If Hadron is awarded a contract with the Kuwaiti Government, it has selected Pease as its headquarters and base of operation, creating an estimated 500 new jobs in New Hampshire. Representatives of Hadron have presented their proposal to Skip Jones and the Pease Development Authority. I have met recently with Skip who is quite optimistic about this proposal. Hadron representatives have also met with Fred Kocher of Senator Rudman's office. Warren is also supportive of the proposal and is working with former Senator Percy in making contacts with the Kuwaiti Government through the United States Embassy. In addition, Hadron has met with General William Ray of the Army Corps of Engineers who confirmed the need plan. for a private US procurement contractor and is supportive of the Hadron It appears to me that if Hadron became the US procurement contractor officially recognized by the Kuwaiti Government, both the nation and the State of New Hampshire would benefit. The rebuilding of Kuwait is an excellent opportunity for US businesses to export both goods and services. Unless coordinated system is created for the private sector to facilitate the export a of goods and services to Kuwait, US businesses will be seriously disadvantaged. Hadron's selection as the procurement contractor results in the creation of quality, technical jobs at Pease. Mark Hounsell, who is working with Hadron here in New Hampshire, informs me that a group is traveling to Kuwait to meet with the Crown Prince during the first week of July. While I know that you are reluctant to get directly involved in issues that affect New Hampshire, the redevelopment of Pease is of critical importance to me and to our state. I know you recognize the significant financial problem that we face if a successful redevelopment does not occur. It would be ideal to have a US representative, perhaps the US Ambassador or his designee, in attendance at the meeting to support the proposal. While I am not sure if involvement by you or your staff is appropriate, I did want to inform you of the proposal and let you know of my interest. In any event, it would seem to me that a meeting between Hadron's representatives and you or your staff prior to their trip to Kuwait would be helpful to discuss the proper handling of this matter. I will try to call you in the near future to follow up on this matter. Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Very sincerely, Dwalm Edward C.

DeMuth President The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20500 Dear John: I am writing, as promised a few weeks ago, to provide further program information on the upcoming AEI World Forum and to ask that you take a moment to choose the small group discussions you wish to attend. Copies of our current agenda and guest list are enclosed. The plenary sessions will be devoted to critical international political and economic issues such as trade and financial issues, Eastern Europe's steps toward market economies, the crisis in the Soviet Union, and the aftermath of the Gulf war. Some of the small group meetings will pursue these questions in more detail; others will examine domestic U.S. policy issues such as health care costs, poverty, and university education. Topics for the fifteen small group meetings are listed on the enclosed form. Please check your choices for each day and return by mail or fax to Isabel Davidov. If there is sufficient demand, we may schedule optional group discussions on Thursday and Friday afternoon during the free time period, repeating one of the topics from earlier on those days. A book of background readings and the current issue of AEI's policy magazine, The American Enterprise, are also included in this package. The background readings, mostly the work of AEI scholars, focus on issues we will be discussing at the plenary and small group sessions. The American Enterprise contains several pertinent articles as well. We hope you find these papers interesting and useful. As you can see from the agenda, we hope you will agree to speak for ten minutes at the Thursday morning discussion, "American Politics: Is the 1992 Election Already Over?" Sharing the spotlight with you will be Joe Lieberman and AEI's Karlyn Keene. Norm Ornstein will moderate and no doubt add to the comments. While the time limit for these lead presentations is stringent, it allows ample time for the discussion that is such an important part of the Forum sessions. We also hope you will intervene whenever you see fit at the plenary sessions. 1150 Seventeenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, 202/862 5800 Fax 202/862 7177 -2- My colleagues and I are looking forward to seeing you at Beaver Creek.

Melvin Executive Director We are very grateful for your oversight of the impending child care regulations. You have previously assured us that the expected regula- tions will make clear that aid to a parent, who in turn selects child care service, is not construed as "federal financial assistance" to the service provider. Subsequent conversations with White House staff have not been so reassuring. A potential conflict exists over the employment provisions of the child care bill and the employment provisions of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, both of which now apply to recipients of federal funds as a result of Grove City. We urge that the regulations explicitly state that child care vouchers are not "federal financial assistance" to the provider for purposes of Title IX and the Rehabilitation Act. In any case, it should be made clear that the employment provisions of the child care bill take precedence or override the employment provisions of Title IX and the Rehabilitation Act. A formal legal opinion to this effect from the Justice Department or other relevant authorities should be issued with the regulations. Additionally, child care providers receiving vouchers must be precluded from having to file for a religious exemption as we have seen under Title IX. If the application of these laws is not specifically excluded by the regulations, religious providers will be unwilling to accept child care vouchers. And in the end, the gains we have together made in advocat- ing "choice" could be sorely threatened. Thank you for your immediate attention to this critical issue. Faithfully yours, Be Robert P.

It may interest you to know that I have just wound up narrating and producing a "The President's Favorite Place, Walking tour of Kennebunkport" audio tape. Should be in the Kennebunkport stores by the 4th of July weekend. What nobody knows-- (nor will we tell them) --is that the tape was recorded, mixed, and produced in New Hampshire! Also, there is a guy who owns a small convenience store in Milford who once was the director of marketing for the Amoskeag Bank. Said your daughter once worked for him. Said that when he needed something by Friday, it was on his desk by Wednesday. him. Said that she was one of the best he had ever had working for My point is that there seems to be a definite nucleus here in the Granite state who simply doesn't believe what the Boston Globe says about John Sununu.

Davis May 29, 1991 President The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. John Sununu Please find enclosed a copy of President Bush's recent message to the 1991 Nuclear Power Assembly, which reaffirms strong support for nuclear energy's vital role in meeting our national goals of economic growth, energy security and environmental protection. As you know the Administration's National Energy Strategy includes provisions for a greater nuclear energy and, specifically, establishes a plan to have commercially standardized designs for advanced nuclear energy plants available for order by 1995. The nuclear energy industry has adopted a similar goal and is working cooperatively with the Department of Energy on the actions required to achieve this important objective. As part of this effort, the Nuclear Power Oversight Committee (NPOC), the policy coordinating arm of the nuclear energy industry, recently published the enclosed report entitled "Position Paper on Standardization." This report outlines the industry's commitment to maintain "life-cycle" standardization for families of advanced nuclear energy plants and is a complement report to NPOC's "Strategic Plan for Building New Nuclear Power Plants." Enclosed also is a comprehensive report released at the Nuclear Power Assembly that summarizes the recent progress on advanced nuclear energy plants and furnishes background information on the various advanced designs. If you have any questions or require further information, please contact me or K.P. Lau, ANEC Vice President-Technical. Sincerely E Arm Edward M. Davis P.S. Mary 410 First Street, thanks S.E. Washington, for D.C. 20003 your (201) 484-2670 support! NUCLEAR ENERGY The Poirerof independence.

CONNECTICUT 06507-0901 May 23, 1991 The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: Today I am writing in the name of the KNIGHTS OF ST. GREGORY in the Archdiocese of Hartford who each year sponsor a prestigious black-tie dinner for the benefit of a worthy cause in the Archdiocese. The cause this year is the newly established Catholic Service Corps of Connecticut, a program through which recent college graduates will devote a year of their lives to serving the poor. With the knowledge of His Excellency Archbishop John F. Whealon, Archbishop of Hartford, and at the request of the dinner committee, I am writing to ask if you would accept our invitation to be the principal speaker at our forthcoming dinner on Friday, November 15, 1991. The event will be held at the Marriott Hotel in Farmington, Connecticut. I know that the large assemblage of religious dignitaries and community leaders, and their spouses, who support this dinner would accord you a warm welcome. Last year we were honored to have Mother Angelica, founder and president of the Eternal Word Television Network based in Alabama, as our speaker. If you can agree to be present, your message could go a long way toward encouraging religious, business and community leaders to become more aware of the issues facing our country today. I pray that your schedule will be open for this date and that you can see your way clear to be able to accept. With warm wishes and regards, I am, Sincerely, Virgil Supreme Virgil C.

Dear Governor Sununu: Steve Kinney of the Republican National Committee suggested that I send you the enclosed studies. As you may know, Voter Contact Services has been providing voter file services to Republican candidates for over 19 years. We have about 85,000,000 voters on file, covering all or part of 41 states and the district. Like yourself, I am an MIT graduate (class of '58) -- in fact I was Sports Editor of The Tech and followed your lacrosse playing -- and I can't resist using our large database and computer capacity for studies on voter behavior. This study first started with an intent to study Presidential Caucus voting patterns in Iowa. It quickly became an investigation of the effectiveness of recent past primary voting history in predicting future primary voting. The studies show how greatly the predictive capacity varies from state to state. They verify that recent primary voting history can be helpful, but they also show that there are a lot of other indicators that can also be useful and may be a lot cheaper for the campaign. The fact that "double general" voters in California seem just as likely to vote in the next primary as "either primary" voters, for instance, has substantial economic value in a state where acquiring general election history is relatively inexpensive, while acquiring primary voting history is generally very expensive and time consuming. I hope you find the studies interesting. If you ever have any questions don't hesitate to call me or our Vice-President for Marketing, Mike Hannahan (413 253-4143).

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: As you will recall, when you were Governor you twice nominated me for appointment by the Secretary of Commerce as a member of the New England Fishery Management Council. I will finish my third three-year term on the Council in August of 1992. We are holding a regular meeting of the Council on September eighteenth and nineteenth at The Rhumb Line Motor Lodge in Kennebunkport, Maine. Being very conscious of the burdens that the President bears and of his demanding schedule, we would normally not even think of asking for his time or attention. However, because of the location of our September meeting, if the President should be in Kennebunkport on those days we would be honored to have him appear before the Council at a time of his choosing to meet our Members and staff and to make any remarks he might wish to. There will be fishermen in the audience at the meeting. I am enclosing a brochure that describes briefly the Council, how it operates and a list of our current members with addresses and phone numbers. Please let me know, at your convenience, whether a visit to our meeting might be possible. It goes without saying, that you are included in our invitation. Sincerely, Hert Herbert Drake P.S. N.H.

I wonder if your staff or the President have become aware that the Canadian government is requiring that all U.S. publishers of magazines must collect a 7% tax on magazine subscriptions sold to Canadians? To me, this raises an issue I thought we settled when the British surrendered at Yorktown. If every foreign government begins to levy taxes on subscriptions we sell in foreign countries, we'll have to give up our foreign business. And if they can impose a tax on publishers, who will be next? This is also, in effect, a tax on information. "The power to tax," said Edmund Burke, "is the power to destroy." If this one works for the Canadians, who will confiscate our magazines at the border unless we comply, then others will surely follow their lead. I have written to all our subscribers in Canada and most are as upset as we are. Anything you can do to call this to the President's attention will be appreciated. I know the President will be less than pleased with this development since Mr. Mulroney has certainly talked as though good trade relations with the U.S. is a high priority. Thanks for any help. I enclose a copy of a letter to one of our subscribers from the Chairman of the Committee on Finance in the Canadian House of Commons. Educad Sincerely, Edward T.

Room 1/WW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: For over five years, a small cabal of know-it-alls has been meeting for dinner every so often in Washington to talk Republican politics. The group's prescience and insight has been erratic, but its record at keeping confidence and staying out of the Post is miraculous. I was once the group's convener, then that chore passed to Lee Atwater, and now to Clayton Yeutter. I'll not attach the entire list, but it's made up of people you know well: Black, Duberstein, Nofziger, and other fellow travelers. Now that Clayton has agreed to become the beneficiary of our useless advice, he has asked that you begin receiving an invitation. The rotational duty of organizing the dinner falls to me next time, so I'm the bearer of that news, as well as the group's earnest wish that you'll take part. Please plan to attend on Monday, June 3, at the Hay Adams Hotel in the Federal Suite, Room 706. The reception will start at 6:45 p.m. and dinner will follow at 7:30 p.m. Please R.S.V.P. to Maggie Ban, at 317-276-9938, by Tuesday, May 28.
