MEMORANDUM FOR GOVERNOR SUNUNU
FROM:
CHASE UNTERMEYER
SUBJECT:
Federal Emergency Management Agency
The Federal Emergency Management Agency was created as an independent
agency in the executive branch pursuant to the provision of Reorganization
Plan No. 3 of 1978. The statute consolidated a number of functions which
were housed in other departments. This helps explain the top-heavy
management structure and the numerous presidential appointments.
The statute provides for the following presidential appointments:
Director - Executive Level II
Deputy Director - Executive Level IV
Associate Directors (not to exceed four) :
2 at Executive Level IV
1 at Executive Level V
1 at GS-18
Administrator, Federal Insurance Administration -
Executive Level IV
Administrator, U.S. Fire Administration - Executive Level IV
Inspector General - Executive Level IV
The statute makes clear that there is only one deputy, who shall act
as the Director in his absence. However, the law does give the Director
the authority to structure the duties and responsiblities of the four
Associate Director positions as he determines. Former Director Becton
chose to fill only three of these positions - External Affairs, National
Preparedness, and State and Local Programs. The flexibility to create a
position which is in charge of disasters is at the associate director and
not the deputy level positions.

MEMORANDUM FOR J. BONNIE NEWMAN
FROM:
ROSS STAREK
RBL
RE:
NASA and FEMA Politically Appointed Positions
Pursuant to our telephone conversation this morning, I have
reviewed the politically appointed positions at both NASA and
FEMA. The positions at NASA are more extensive and diverse for a
person with a military and aeronautic background. In addition to
the Director, Deputy Director and Inspector General, FEMA has six
PAS positions at the executive level. They are listed as
follows:
Admin--US Fire Admin FEM
Admin--Fed - Insurance Admin FEMA
Assoc Dir (External Affairs) FEMA
Assoc Dir (Natl Preparedness Dir) FEM
Assoc Dir (State and Local Programs & Support)
Assoc Dir (National Preparedness Programs)
FEMA has a number of regional director positions at the SES
level, a Director of Congressional Affairs and a Deputy Associate
Director for External Affairs.
NASA is somewhat more limited--the Administrator, Deputy
Administrator and Inspector General are the only PAS positions.
The Associate Administrator for External Affairs, the Director
for Industry Relations and the Deputy Assistant Administrator for
Policy are the three non-career SES positions.
I hope the information outlined above will prove to be
helpful. Should you have any further questions, just give me a
call.

MEMORANDUM FOR RON KAUFMAN
FROM:
Debbie McMahon TK
SUBJECT: Richard Strome: New Regional Director - FEMA.
Spoke with Mr. Strome immediately after speaking with you
this afternoon and he graciously accepted his new post.
I have spoken with FEMA, both with the Acting Director
and Chief of Staff and have been assured that he will be
on payroll effective Monday. This was the fastest
possible processing feasible. If there is a problem
with this, please let me know although I am not certain
what more can be done since papers have to be filled
out "long distance".
The Acting Director will call Mr. Strome personnally this
evening regarding all this. He will also call Mr. Henry
Vickers, the current Director to inform him of the
action taken. A suggestion was made that an "overlap"
occur in payrolls allowing Mr. Vickers pay to continue
through next week to complete his pay cycle while
placing Mr. Strome on the payrolls effective Monday
thus getting him started. It seemed appropriate to
allow Mr. Vickers to remain - a gracious exit is always
the preferred means.
Any problem with any of this let me know. Have informed
Tom Kranz of this as well.

FROM:
Brian waidmann, Special Assistant for
Legislative Affairs
SUBJECT:
Update on FEMA Nominations
The following is an update on the nomination of Jerry Jennings to
be Deputy Director of FEMA. You asked that we make this
nomination a top priority.
Ideally, the Jennings nomination should be considered with the
nomination of Wallace Stickney to be FEMA Director. Mr. Stickney
was nominated just last week and has not yet completed his
committee required paperwork. I pressed Mr. Stickney to complete
the paperwork within 48 hours.
I told the committee that we need both nominees approved as soon
as possible but it was essential that at least Mr. Jennings be
approved immediately. Senator John Glenn, Government Affairs
Committee chairman, yesterday delegated the handling of the
nomination to Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), a subcommittee chairman.
I have twice urged Senator Levin to act as early as next week on
the nomination. I pointed out that FEMA's top management has
resigned and that the Arkansas flooding underscores the urgent
need to have top people in place at FEMA. Senator Levin said he
would act quickly if the nomination was not controversial and
committee staff concurs.
Committee staff asked why the Senate should rush confirmation
when it took us a year to nominate and claim Antonio Lopez could
be named acting director to fill the void. My response was that
several candidates backed out at the last minute and that Mr.
Lopez was not the President's choice to lead the agency
permanently. What is next is for the staff to prepare by Friday
pre-hearing questions for Mr. Jennings. I asked Mr. Jennings to
complete and return the responses by Monday morning. We will
then press to have a hearing and committee approval next week.
I am also pointing out to Senator Levin and his staff that Mr.
Jennings is from Michigan. This will heighten Senator Levin's
home state press interest and should help our cause.
I am also working with committee Republican Senators and staff on
this issue. Senator Rudman said he will help at the right time.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
May 1, 1990
MEMORANDUM FOR JOHN H. SUNUNU fun
THROUGH:
FREDERICK D. MCCLURE
FROM:
Brian Waidmann, BW Special Assistant to the President
for Legislative Affairs
SUBJECT:
Nomination of Jerry Jennings to be FEMA Deputy
Director
Today you asked that we seek swift confirmation of Jerry Jennings
to be Deputy Director of the Federal Emergency Management
Administration. This nomination has been pending since March 20,
1990.
Starting today, we have redoubled our efforts. First, we have
made the Jennings nomination one of our two highest priorities in
the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee. (The other being Dick
Austin for GSA Administrator). Second, we have informed FEMA
Congressional Affairs of the urgency, and the White House has
taken the lead in the nomination. Third, today we are making a
special request to the Governmental Affairs Committee that the
nomination be handled quickly. We will talk to all the Committee
Republicans and the Committee Chairman, Senator John Glenn (D-
OH). We will emphasize the urgent need to get Mr. Jennings
confirmed because the top management at FEMA is leaving, and we
need our team in place before the next natural disaster occurs.
We have also asked Mr. Jennings to ask friends and associates who
know Committee Senators and staff to contact them and urge prompt
action. Those calls will occur today.
There are some problems in having this confirmation expedited.
First, Mr. Jennings has no Senators currently backing his
nomination. We are working on this. Second, the Governmental
Affairs Committee is glacially slow in handling nominations.
Third, just this morning the Committee could not muster a quorum
to approve the nomination of Dick Austin to head GSA. This will
delay other nominees waiting Committee action, including
Jennings. Finally, the Committee had expected to review all FEMA
nominees (Director, Deputy Director, and Inspector General) at
the same time. The Director nominee, Wally Stickney, is still
under review in the White House Counsel's Office. Our efforts to
expedite the Jennings nomination may not be received well so long
as we are viewed as holding up the prospective Director.
