Global climate change is an important public policy issue that deserves much attention, reasoned discussion, and appro- priate action. On this, and a host of other environmental issues, the President is providing much leadership and action. The President has proposed a dramatic increase in expenditures for research and monitoring to resolve critical scientific questions. We plan to spend about a half billion dollars for this purpose in the coming year. The President invited other countries to participate with us in this research at the Paris Economic Summit last summer. The President's comprehensive Clean Air proposal calls for sharp reductions in the burning of fossil fuels from stationary sources, automobiles, factories, and a host of other commercial establishments. It also provides strong incentives for conservation, a major element in any global climate response. The President also has approved increasing corporate average fuel economy standards for U.S. automobiles. He has announced U.S. support for a worldwide phaseout of chlorofluorocarbons by the year 2000. And he has directed the development of a comprehensive national energy strategy. This February, the United States will host the next meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to help in developing a solid foundation for international action and for discussing the elements of a framework convention on global climate change. We believe this is an issue that merits the attention and commitment we are devoting to it. We appreciate your concerns and having the benefit of your views. Sincerely, John H. Sununu Chief of Staff Mr. John Winkel 615 Sooner Park Drive Bartlesville, Oklahoma 74006 JHS/KW/MO/emu (PC-12JHS) CC: Mike Ortega, 60 OEOB ENCLOSURE. 11/07/89 Declaration on Global Change December 14, 1989 Dear Mr. Wang: On behalf of the Chief of Staff, thank you for your letter concerning H.R. 2712. Following the tragic events in Tiananmen Square in June, President Bush took action to ensure that no nationals from the People's Republic of China would be deported against their will. On November 30, the President took additional action to extend and broaden that protection. Since President Bush's directive accomplished the objectives of H.R. 2712 administratively, it was not necessary for this bill to become law. President Bush and Governor Sununu appreciate your views on this issue. In light of your interest, I am enclosing material I hope you will find informative.

Bullock with copy of incoming (FYI) CC: Mike Ortega, 60 OEOB November 7, 1989 Dear Doris: 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.

The House of Representatives and the Senate have passed the District of Columbia appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 1990, which permits Federal funding for abortions under circumstances where the life of the mother is not endangered.

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.

At the same time, the program will not infringe upon the rights of law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms.

MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable John Sununu, Chief of Staff, THE WHITE HOUSE, Washington D.C., 20500 FROM: Paul D. White, Managing Director RE: The Nomination of Judge Paul Pressler DATE: 8/28/89 Governor, please permit my total support of the nomination of Judge Pressler as director of the Office of Government Ethics. I have, as a veteran former journalist and executive, closely observed his behavior for a number of years, and found him the fairest, most ethical person. In fact it is honesty and outspoken demand for best behavior that has upset a small percentage of people in his denomination. I am acqainted with numerous leading attorneys in Texas, all of whom will testify to his quality. He will be a tremendous value to the Administration and to the nation. Thank you for giving this your attention. And, thanks for the fine job you are doing in what is often most difficult situations.
