With the Governor's best wishes, Sincerely, Katie Winkeljohn Special Assistant to the Chief of Staff Mr. Walter Merrill 114 Lille Road Nashua, New Hampshire 03062 KW:MO:ckb (11JHS) CC: Mike Ortega - Room 60 November 20, 1989 Dear Miss McAvoy: Chief of Staff John Sununu asked me to respond to your recent letter regarding his background and current responsibilities at the White House. The primary responsibility of the Chief of Staff is to manage the President's agenda and the day-to-day operation of the White House. He oversees the development of domestic and foreign policy, communi- cations, staff, budget, and relations with the press, the Congress, and State and local governments. He accompanies the President to most meetings and events worldwide and is often called upon to speak on the President's behalf. John Henry Sununu was born in 1939 and spent most of his childhood in New York City attending parochial elementary school and, later, the La Salle Military Academy in Oakdale, Long Island. He went on to study engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and earned his Ph.D. in 1966. While he proceeded to distinguish himself as an educator, engineer, small businessman, and community leader, he is most often remembered for his work as Governor of the State of New Hampshire. He was elected in 1983 and served for three terms until 1989, when he was asked by President Bush to serve as his Chief of Staff at the White House. He and his wife, Nancy, have eight children. In his spare time he enjoys skiing, golfing, reading, and collecting baseball cards. Governor Sununu is proud to be serving as Chief of Staff and feels that his diverse experience as an engineer and as a leader in both State government and private industry could be of special benefit to President Bush's Administration and to our nation as well. I hope this information is helpful, and it comes to you with Governor Sununu's best wishes.

As you are aware, President Bush and the American people are gravely concerned about the availability of foreign-made weapons used by criminals to commit devastatingly violent acts throughout our communities. This is an intolerable situation and will not be allowed to continue. On May 15, the President announced a comprehensive and commonsense program to effectively combat crime, with strong proposals to limit the access to illicit weapons. At the same time, the program will not infringe upon the rights of law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms. In light of your interest, I am enclosing for you a fact sheet which outlines the President's initiative in this area. Thank you for taking the time to write. Sincerely, John H.

Attention: Mr. John Sununu Dear Mr. Sununu: I read with dismay that Judge Paul Pressler of Houston, Texas, is a possible nominee to a federal ethics post. Indeed, I understand he is to be named director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. Mr. Pressler is well known as the architect of the threatened shattering of the Southern Raptist Fellowship or Convention. I am not a member of that body, but I am a retired minister who has followed the widening conflict in that body with great sadness. Mr. Pressler has shown himself to be rigid, and intolerent to the point of being bigoted. He has been a disastrous leader within the Southern Baptist Convention, end I can think of no reasons to expect that he would be otherwise in his position as director of the Ethics Office. I vie his nomination as a disasterous one for the Bush Administration.

I would like to state that I have known Judge Pressler for many years and have found him to be an exceedingly intelligent and patriotic individual. He has conducted himself as a fine, Christian gentleman at all times to my knowledge. I can think of no one better who President Bush could appoint to the position of Ethics and I pray that this does take place, and that Judge Pressler will be able to do something about the poor ethics record: of our governmental employees and elected officials.

Houston, Texas 77024 KB. The Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 August 28, 1989 Dear Governor Sununu: I was excited to see in yesterday's Houston Chronicle that Judge Paul Pressler has been nominated as Director of the Office of Government Ethics. I fully support this nomination and firmly believe Judge Pressler to be an excellent choice. It really disturbed me to read of personal attacks made by members of the liberal faction of the Southern Baptist denomination. Judge Pressler has been a vocal supporter of the resurgence of the majority conservative factor of the Southern Baptists. For that, he is a target of the left- wing liberals. Please keep that in mind when you receive such negative comments from those people. Their whole scheme reeks of the attacks made on Judge Bork! I have known Judge Pressler for five years and I believe him to be of the highest integrity. His appointment would go hand in hand with President Bush's commitment to strong ethics in our government.

As you are aware, President Bush and the American people are gravely concerned about the availability of foreign-made weapons used by criminals to commit devastatingly violent acts throughout our communities. This is an intolerable situation and will not be allowed to continue. On May 15, the President announced a comprehensive and commonsense program to effectively combat crime, with strong proposals to limit the access to illicit weapons. At the same time, the program will not infringe upon the rights of law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms.
