MEMORANDUM FOR THE CHIEF OF STAFF
FROM:
Phillip D. Brady
SUBJECT:
Staff Secretary Functions and the Campaign
The prospect of a formal campaign organization presents a
number of issues regarding staff secretary functions, which this
memo seeks to address.
Presumably, the campaign will appoint someone to serve in a
staff secretary role, and we would serve as the primary White
House contact for that person. We propose that the roles of our
office and the campaign's staff secretary should be divided as
follows:
First, this office should continue to serve as the
President's "in box" and "out box," i.e., all material for the
President -- including material from the campaign -- should be
forwarded through this office.
The staffing process on speeches should continue to work as
it has in the past, assuming there is no legal prohibition. We
would anticipate utilizing greater care in staffing speeches for
campaign events to the agencies. Any speeches written in the
campaign should be sent to us for appropriate staffing within the
White House (e.g., NSC should see a speech on Middle East policy
written by the campaign).
This last point is important: when the President speaks as
a candidate, he is still speaking as President of the United
States, and his pronouncements are authoritative. This is
particularly the case in the area of foreign policy. Thus,
simply because a speech is written at the campaign does not mean
it is devoid of official purpose.
Second, With the possible exception of photographs of
official campaign events, this office should retain control of
the use of the President's signature.
(b)(6)
Third, the campaign will be responsible for forwarding all
official correspondence to this office as soon as it is received.
In other words, the campaign will not maintain an agency liaison
function of any kind, nor will it be responsible for responding
to letters which are primarily official in nature. Similarly,
we will forward to Political Affairs or the campaign all
political correspondence.
Fourth, we propose that gifts be handled as at present. A
gift presented to the President at a campaign event or through
the campaign is still covered by the relevant statutes and should
be handled by the Gift Unit.
Similarly, recommended telephone calls for the President
should be handled as at present; i.e., submitted to this office
and presented for your approval before they are forwarded to the
President.
We believe the campaign should not have the authority to
produce Presidential messages without White House approval.
While we are happy to receive drafts from the campaign, there are
so many issues to be considered in Presidential messages -- the
reputation of the group, clearing the message with appropriate
White House offices, consistency of policy -- that some White
House approval is necessary.
The campaign should be responsible for the preservation of
all records pertaining to the campaign. They will be handled in
accordance with the relevant statutes. (Eventually, of course,
this material would be sent to the Bush Presidential Library;
even if the President were to lose the election, the campaign
documents would be Federal property, since the President will
receive major-party Federal financing for the campaign after the
convention.)
Please let us know if you would like to discuss this
further. Thank you.

RE : The Presidential Donation
Introduction :
This presentation is made in honor of the President of the
United States of America on behalf of my principal, as his
political representative in the United States, who is willing
to devote himself to a worldwide human oriented project along with
destined economic policies with his full academic and economic
ability and capability. His life has been being spent to resolve
world accumulated debts which is currently one of the most serious
economic and political problems in any area of the world regardless
developed or underdeveloped state of countries. His personal
ability and capability to complete the project, which will be
confirmed to advise and prove by his reference of the most
important persons in the world, the President of several countries
in which he is initiating his project at present, will enable
himself to convince people of the world of their recognition of its
importance only when he is able to obtain assistance of the most
powerful world leader, the President of the United States of
America. As one of his first steps to consummate the project he
feels greatly honored to donate political funds to President George

expecting his broad political and economical assistance for the
above project completion. The details of his project are stated as
follows.
The Body :
It is, in common sense terms, awfully hard for anyone to
believe my principal's financial capability to proceed his great
project mentioned in above introduction, but he is engaged in
controlling legally approved special funds which are under the
responsibility of both U.S and Japan in terms of their control and
use, and also partially as his owned in cooperation with thirty-six
major financial institutions in the world.
Given a privilege of use and control of the funds he is
planning to resolve world accumulated debts, which is about total
one trillion three hundred twenty billion U.S. dollars and one half
of the figure blame U.S.A., one tenth Canada, seven and a half
percents Soviet Union and others other developed and underdeveloped
countries. He will be able to proceed his project by himself to
save only undeveloped countries spending more than five years long,
but much sooner for the majority of the fiscal troubled countries

in cooperation with World political leaders, such as G 7's, under
the initiative of the President of the United States of America.
As a matter of fact, he is currently contacting thirteen asian
countries for their cooperation to urgently initiate and proceed
his project in order to write their accumulated debts off as soon
as possible. The first among them will be the Republic of the
Philippines, whose President is opening her doors for serious
discussion for an immediate commencement of the project. The
country has accumulated about twenty-eight billion nine hundred
million U.S. dollars debts in history and that amount will be
granted to clear the debts off from above mentioned special funds
under my principal's will and responsibility providing that the
country is and will be under surveillance of the United State in
terms of economic aid and military presence for their political and
economical stability for the time being. This also enable the
country to have a better and preferable position in their access
to I.M.F. ( International Monetary Fund ), the World Bank or B.I.S.
( Bank of International Settlement ). And/or the funds will
be able to cover the cost of keeping Subic Base if it exceeds
annual aid of two hundred three million U.S. dollars from U.S..
There is and will be no way for the country to keep themselves in
a secured national self-defence position without U.S. military aid,
which would, in return, create a very active economic effects to

the national economy, such as employments, although we respect and
appreciate its recent surging nationalism in the country. The
second, or even almost at the same time the country could be
introduced, will be the Federation of Malaysia which my principal
has already agreed to an immediate commencement of the project
with.
Having a profound thought concerning a recent World political
and economical trend and the country, Japan, we will have a more
serious economic friction to the rest of the world becoming
ostracizing in the world unless we adopt an immediate diagnosis to
resolve the matter. A gradual, eventually drastic, increase of U.S.
military withdrawal from many countries in history should take
place soon, which will next bring more eyes of people in the World
to our problem mentioned above requesting our more important rolls
to the World economy. Our country, unfortunately, has not been
necessary sensitive to the problems of the rest of the World in her
history and even not now. Only my principal could take an
initiative to effect the resolution through his great project
stated here, and this is his given talent and destined assignment
in this world by nature.

From his pure mind considering realization of the World peace
and its stabilization in every sense my principal is wishing a
Worldwide strong assistance of the President of the United States
of American urgently. My principal knows and believes, as a matter
of fact even without expecting any return from his act this time he
wants to devote his economical capability to the successful career
of the President from the bottom of his heart, that it is necessary
for him to pay some price to obtain the most reliable assistance in
the World in the form of political donation, but nothing else. In
this presentation I am not stating any financial technical part of
project proceeding, which will be duly verified by proper documents
presented to the President and explained by the technical
representative of my principal at designated meeting later. We will
appreciate your very good consideration to assist us to put our
project mentioned above into effect soonest. Thank you very much.

MR. PRESIDENT:
Andy Card requested that the attached status
report on U.S. participation at the Seville
Expo be brought to your attention.
According to Eugene Kopp, Acting Director,
USIA, the bottom line is: the U.S. pavilion
is in trouble. They've been unable to secure
the necessary financing to make our presence
as substantial as originally intended.
King Juan Carlos is expected to ask you
to commit to some level of participation
in the Expo. USIA encourages us to make
no promises -- until we see how the project
looks closer to the final hour.

UNITED STATES PAVILION
1992 Universal Exposition
Seville, Spain
BACKGROUND
Expo 92
The Universal Exposition or World's Fair being held in Seville,
Spain, commemorates the 500th anniversary of Columbus's voyage
to the New World. From April 20 to October 12, 1992, a record
114 participating nations will open their pavilions to an
estimated 20 million visitors. World attention will be focused
on Spain next year with this historic international event in
Seville, the Summer Olympics in Barcelona and Madrid's
designation as the 1992 European Cultural Capital.
A Brief History of U.S. Participation
In October, 1988, President Reagan accepted an invitation from
King Juan Carlos to participate in Expo 92. The President
instructed USIA, the Commerce and State Departments to divide
the $15 million dollar federal component of the projected $30
million dollar Pavilion. In 1989, USIA reprogrammed $400,000
and the Department of Commerce transferred $83,000 to USIA for
the Pavilion. The State Department and USIA submitted budget
requests for FY 1990 of $5 million each. The Commerce
Department proposed to provide $5 million from additional fee
collections.
On September 27, 1989, the Senate Appropriations Committee
report on FY 1990 appropriations instructed USIA to bear the
full cost of the project. However on October 20, 1989 --
coincidentally, the same day as a meeting between Spain's Prime
Minister Felipe Gonzales and President Bush -- the Senate and
House Appropriations Committees in Conference deleted funds for
the Pavilion from the USIA FY 1990 budget submission.
It was not until June, 1990, after several months of intensive
effort and questioning, that the House Appropriations
Subcommittee approved a USIA request for reprogramming
authority of $4.6 million as part of a total reduced federal
allowance of $13 million for Seville. These delays markedly
reduced the ability of USIA to raise funds from the private
sector, a central element of this project, and forced the
Agency to compete in a rapidly inflating construction market in
Seville. Construction bids in early January, 1991 were
two-and-one-half to three times higher than the original design
estimate of $10 million.
- 2 -
The delay in project funding and severely inflated construction
costs have forced the United States markedly to simplify its
pavilion design in order to reduce costs. Two geodesic domes,
used by USIA in the 1970s in the USSR, were introduced into the
plan.
Other major countries will have more elaborate pavilions. The
U.S. Pavilion Project Team has, however, produced a tasteful
design package and is concentrating on fundraising and
development of high quality exhibits and programs.
Although more than $3 million cash (and $20 million of in-kind
contributions) has been raised from non-federal sources,
private sector support has not yet met expectations. At
present, the project has a $21 million cash budget and a
deficit of approximately $5 million. This includes lower
contingency funds than recommended by the U.S. Navy Project
Manager.
An aggressive fundraising and marketing campaign continues.
However, if the deficit cannot be corrected, we anticipate
exhausting all remaining funds by the end of the first quarter
of FY 1992. Additional funding must be in hand by January 1,
1992 or the U.S. pavilion will not open.
STATUS
Pavilion Design
The 40, 000-square-foot U.S. Pavilion is fronted by a 300-foot
water wall symbolizing the ocean Columbus crossed; three sails
reminiscent of his caravels soar above the pavilion. Key
features of the pavilion are two geodesic domes and an
exhibition/administration building. The pavilion courtyard
includes a stage for the performing arts.
Construction Update
Construction of the United States Pavilion is progressing
rapidly on the site under management of the U.S. Naval
Facilities Engineering Command. The Pavilion is scheduled for
completion by March 1992. The foundations and perimeter walls
for both of the geodesic domes are completed. Excavation has
been completed for the administrative building and for the
stage. A working prototype section of the water wall has been
approved. The first geodesic dome will be erected in
mid-October.
- 3 -
Exhibits
Over 30,000 visitors a day will see a wide array of attractions
in the U.S. Pavilion:
General Motors Theater - GM is donating one of the
Pavilion's main features, a 70-mm film that will
highlight the genius of the American people, from
leadership in personal mobility to achieving harmony with
the environment. Award-winning filmmaker Bob Rogers is
producing this $4 million film.
Bill of Rights Exhibit - The other main feature of the
pavilion will be the display of an original copy of the
Bill of Rights. Philip Morris has donated a $14 million
exhibit that will showcase this treasured national document.
(An additional $2 million is needed for retrofitting and
operating this exhibit.)
Kansas City Exhibit - "Discovering Connections -- Europe
and the American Heartland" will be the exhibit sponsored
by Seville's sister-city. It will explore Kansas City's
western and prairie heritage, its legendary jazz era, and
its famous personalities.
Sprint Teleconference Center - Sprint is sponsoring a
$1 million international teleconference center. This
state-of-the-art facility will host worldwide
teleconferences.
Coca Cola VIP Center Coca Cola is sponsoring a $1 million
reception center for distinguished pavilion visitors, who
will include heads of state as well as heads of
corporations.
American Plywood Association - APA is building a "Spirit of
America" home to promote use of American wood products by
demonstrating state-of-the-art techniques for utilizing

MR. PRESIDENT:
Andy Card requested that the attached status
report on U.S. participation at the Seville
Expo be brought to your attention.
According to Eugene Kopp, Acting Director,
USIA, the bottom line is: the U.S. pavilion
is in trouble. They've been unable to secure
the necessary financing to make our presence
as substantial as originally intended.
King Juan Carlos is expected to ask you
to commit to some level of participation
in the Expo. USIA encourages us to make
no promises -- until we see how the project
looks closer to the final hour.

UNITED STATES PAVILION
1992 Universal Exposition
Seville, Spain
BACKGROUND
Expo 92
The Universal Exposition or World's Fair being held in Seville,
Spain, commemorates the 500th anniversary of Columbus's voyage
to the New World. From April 20 to October 12, 1992, a record
114 participating nations will open their pavilions to an
estimated 20 million visitors. World attention will be focused
on Spain next year with this historic international event in
Seville, the Summer Olympics in Barcelona and Madrid's
designation as the 1992 European Cultural Capital.
A Brief History of U.S. Participation
In October, 1988, President Reagan accepted an invitation from
King Juan Carlos to participate in Expo 92. The President
instructed USIA, the Commerce and State Departments to divide
the $15 million dollar federal component of the projected $30
million dollar Pavilion. In 1989, USIA reprogrammed $400,000
and the Department of Commerce transferred $83,000 to USIA for
the Pavilion. The State Department and USIA submitted budget
requests for FY 1990 of $5 million each. The Commerce
Department proposed to provide $5 million from additional fee
collections.
On September 27, 1989, the Senate Appropriations Committee
report on FY 1990 appropriations instructed USIA to bear the
full cost of the project. However on October 20, 1989 --
coincidentally, the same day as a meeting between Spain's Prime
Minister Felipe Gonzales and President Bush -- the Senate and
House Appropriations Committees in Conference deleted funds for
the Pavilion from the USIA FY 1990 budget submission.
It was not until June, 1990, after several months of intensive
effort and questioning, that the House Appropriations
Subcommittee approved a USIA request for reprogramming
authority of $4.6 million as part of a total reduced federal
allowance of $13 million for Seville. These delays markedly
reduced the ability of USIA to raise funds from the private
sector, a central element of this project, and forced the
Agency to compete in a rapidly inflating construction market in
Seville. Construction bids in early January, 1991 were
two-and-one-half to three times higher than the original design
estimate of $10 million.
- 2 -
The delay in project funding and severely inflated construction
costs have forced the United States markedly to simplify its
pavilion design in order to reduce costs. Two geodesic domes,
used by USIA in the 1970s in the USSR, were introduced into the
plan.
Other major countries will have more elaborate pavilions. The
U.S. Pavilion Project Team has, however, produced a tasteful
design package and is concentrating on fundraising and
development of high quality exhibits and programs.
Although more than $3 million cash (and $20 million of in-kind
contributions) has been raised from non-federal sources,
private sector support has not yet met expectations. At
present, the project has a $21 million cash budget and a
deficit of approximately $5 million. This includes lower
contingency funds than recommended by the U.S. Navy Project
Manager.
An aggressive fundraising and marketing campaign continues.
However, if the deficit cannot be corrected, we anticipate
exhausting all remaining funds by the end of the first quarter
of FY 1992. Additional funding must be in hand by January 1,
1992 or the U.S. pavilion will not open.
STATUS
Pavilion Design
The ,000-square-foot U.S. Pavilion is fronted by a 300-foot
water wall symbolizing the ocean Columbus crossed; three sails
reminiscent of his caravels soar above the pavilion. Key
features of the pavilion are two geodesic domes and an
exhibition/administration building. The pavilion courtyard
includes a stage for the performing arts.
Construction Update
Construction of the United States Pavilion is progressing
rapidly on the site under management of the U.S. Naval
Facilities Engineering Command. The Pavilion is scheduled for
completion by March 1992. The foundations and perimeter walls
for both of the geodesic domes are completed. Excavation has
been completed for the administrative building and for the
stage. A working prototype section of the water wall has been
approved. The first geodesic dome will be erected in
mid-October.
- 3 -
Exhibits
Over 30,000 visitors a day will see a wide array of attractions
in the U.S. Pavilion:
General Motors Theater GM is donating one of the
Pavilion's main features, a 70-mm film that will
highlight the genius of the American people, from
leadership in personal mobility to achieving harmony with
the environment. Award-winning filmmaker Bob Rogers is
producing this $4 million film.
Bill of Rights Exhibit The other main feature of the
pavilion will be the display of an original copy of the
Bill of Rights. Philip Morris has donated a $14 million
exhibit that will showcase this treasured national document.
(An additional $2 million is needed for retrofitting and
operating this exhibit.)
Kansas City Exhibit "Discovering Connections -- Europe
and the American Heartland" will be the exhibit sponsored
by Seville's sister-city. It will explore Kansas City's
western and prairie heritage, its legendary jazz era, and
its famous personalities.
Sprint Teleconference Center - Sprint is sponsoring a
$1 million international teleconference center. This
state-of-the-art facility will host worldwide
teleconferences.
Coca Cola VIP Center Coca Cola is sponsoring a $1 million
reception center for distinguished pavilion visitors, who
will include heads of state as well as heads of
corporations.
American Plywood Association APA is building a "Spirit of
America" home to promote use of American wood products by
demonstrating state-of-the-art techniques for utilizing
wood products in residential housing.
Performing Arts Stage Diverse American music, dance and
theatre performers, both amateurs and professionals, will
showcase contemporary achievements.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE CHIEF OF STAFF
FROM:
Phillip D. Brady
Please find attached a copy of the President's response to the
memorandum on presenting the Medal of Freedom to Ted Williams.
With respect to your question on whether there is another award
that could appropriately be given to Joe DiMaggio, it would not
appear that there is, since he has already received the highest
civil award of the U.S. However, his attendance at a
presentation ceremony for Ted Williams would certainly enhance
that event itself and the joint trip with the President to the
All Star Game would appear to be an appropriate means of
celebrating the 50th year of their achievements.
I would note that the President and First Lady's Medal of Arts
luncheon has been long scheduled for July 9. The President's
choices for this Medal (including Isaac Stern) have already been
invited for this date and most have accepted. The difficulties
inherent in scheduling the award recipients militates against
changing that date.
However, it may well be that a separate awards ceremony for Ted
Williams later that day would not unduly interfere with the Medal
of Arts luncheon. Alternatively, we could seek to arrange the Ted
Williams event the previous afternoon. Yet another alternative
could be to have the joint trip with the President without a
medal ceremony, and the Medal of Freedom could be awarded to Ted
Williams subsequently at a larger Medal of Freedom ceremony,
probably in the fall. This latter approach may well be the
preferred alternative as presumably we're awarding the Medal of
Freedom to Ted Williams for lifetime contributions including his
distinguished service in both World War II and the Korean War.
Hope this is helpful. I'd be delighted to discuss this further
at your convenience.

JOE DIMAGGIO
Graceful afield and sterling at bat, Joe DiMaggio bespoke
excellence as few athletes ever have. In 1941, "Joltin' Joe"
electrified America by hitting safely in a record 56 straight
games. A writer once said, "Watching Joe DiMaggio play baseball
was like listening to Jascha Heifetz play the violin." Today,
the Nation still turns its eyes to you -- No. 5, the Yankee
Clipper.
recognizes with respect and advisation
recalls
TED WILLIAMS
He was called the Kid, the Splendid Splinter, and in New England,
simply Himself. He was an iconoclast and rebel who, half-a-
century ago, batted .406 -- the last hitter to eclipse .400. His
feat was especially redoubtable since, as No. 9 has said,
"hitting a baseball is the hardest task in sports." Today, Teddy
Ballgame remains John Wayne in baseball woolies -- perhaps the
greatest hitter of all time.

SUBJECT:
Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams
By way of addendum to my memo of May 31 regarding the Medal
of Freedom, please be advised further research indicates that Joe
DiMaggio received the Medal of Freedom from President Ford in
1977. In 1989, you indicated a desire to award the Medal to Ted
Williams at the presentation ceremony in July of that year, but
he was unable to attend because he was recovering from foot
surgery. Accordingly, it's recommended that renewed
consideration be given to the idea of awarding the Medal to
Williams in any larger presentation ceremony which you decide to
schedule for this year.
In that regard, you may be interested to know that there is
precedent for awarding the Medal of Freedom to exceptional
athletes such as Ted Williams. President Reagan awarded the
Medal to Jackie Robinson (posthumously), and President Ford
awarded it to Jesse Owens as well as to DiMaggio. Besides his
baseball achievements, Ted Williams interrupted his baseball
career twice to serve with distinction in World War II and the
Korean War.
Thank you.

Phillip D. Brady
SUBJECT:
Follow-up re July 9 Ceremony
As we discussed, yet another alternative with respect to a
July 9 event honoring Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams in addition
to those discussed in my memo of yesterday (attached) would be
for appropriate Presidential citations to be presented
commemorating the 50th anniversary of their baseball
achievements. Such citations would specifically outline their
1941 feats and express the appreciation and recognition of the
Nation. Selected examples of past citations are attached.
It would also be possible to award Ted Williams the Medal of
Freedom at this ceremony, based more broadly on his career and
his military service, but it might be more appropriate to do so
at a larger Medal of Freedom event this Fall.
Thank you.

boundless energy to the good works of the American National Red Cross.As
its leader, he brought aid in time of trouble, order in time of chaos, solace in
time of direst need. For his selfless service to his fellow Americans and to mit
lions throughout the world, and on their behalf, this citation of special merit

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
February 21, 1991
MEMORANDUM FOR SENIOR STAFF
FROM:
Phillip D. Brady
SUBJECT:
Materials for the President and Guidelines for
Presidential Proclamations
Please find below certain reminders with respect to
materials prepared for the President and our guidelines for
Presidential proclamations.
Materials for the President
All materials for the President are routed through the
Office of the Staff Secretary. The White House Office Staff
Manual and the White House Correspondence Manual set forth
detailed guidance on the proper formatting of the materials. In
general:
-- Briefing memoranda
"Briefing papers" should be prepared for all meetings and
events on the President's public or private schedule. Each memo
should be prepared, coordinated, and forwarded by the "project
officer" -- the senior staff member who has been assigned lead
responsibility for the meeting or event.
Briefing papers should be concise -- ordinarily a single
page. Talking points, if appropriate, are to be provided on 4x6
cards or on speech cards as an attachment to the memo. (Please
see the attachment for guidelines as to when to use each type of
card.)
Briefing memos (with 16 copies) must be delivered to this
office no later than 3:00 PM on the business day before the
scheduled meeting or event. If briefing papers do not meet this
deadline, meetings may be cancelled.
-- Decision memoranda
Decision memos are prepared for substantive matters
requiring the President's decision. These may originate from any
senior staff office. Decision memos should be provided to this
office at least 48 hours before the desired time of the
President's decision. This allows for appropriate senior staff
-2-
clearance and time for the President to review the matter
personally at his convenience.
-- Signature memoranda
Documents requiring the President's signature -- most
commonly letters -- should be forwarded to this office with a
brief explanatory cover memo. This should indicate the nature of
the action involved, its relationship to approved Presidential
policy, and the clearances and nonconcurrences of appropriate
reviewing parties.
-- Information memoranda
Information memos are intended simply to convey information,
not to elicit Presidential action. As with all other materials,
they should be submitted to this office.
-- Telephone calls
Recommendations for telephone calls by the President should
be submitted to this office using the form provided in the White
House Staff Manual. If the call is to be placed to an event or
should take place at a specific time, a scheduling proposal
should first be submitted for consideration.
Every effort will be made to ensure that materials are
processed expeditiously. However, certain documents -- fact
sheets, draft legislation, major decision memos, and the like --
usually require staffing and coordination among other offices.
We like to have at least 24 hours for the staffing of documents
for the President or for public release; we prefer 48 hours for
lengthy or potentially controversial documents. This ensures
that all relevant White House offices have a fair opportunity to
comment before a decision is made.
The President's schedule should also be taken into
consideration when submitting materials for the President. For
example, when the President travels, it routinely takes longer
for a decision to be reached or approval to be granted.
-3-
Presidential Proclamations
Ordinarily, the President will issue a proclamation only at
the request of a joint resolution of Congress. Those that are
issued traditionally, such as Thanksgiving Day and Armed Forces
Day, are exceptions to this rule.
Occasionally, other exceptions are made, using as criteria
the constituency requesting the proclamation, the importance of
the proclamation itself, and the degree to which the subject fits
with the President's agenda or his personal interests. Thus, in
April 1989, the President issued a proclamation for "Crime
Victims Week," even though this was not requested by Congress.
Similarly, the President recently issued a proclamation for a
"National Day of Prayer" on his own initiative.
Yet a Congressional request does not automatically mean that
the President will issue a proclamation. Some requested procla-
mations are simply inappropriate. Subjects which are appropriate
for Presidential proclamations include:
1. Those that in some way are designed to better the
citizenry or the national life. This is the broadest
category. Proclamations are appropriate for "National
Cancer Awareness Week, "American Heart Month, " or the
"National Day of Prayer.' Included in this category are
proclamations which highlight ties to foreign countries or
our nation's heritage, such as "Pan American Week, " "Greek
Independence Day," or "General Pulaski Memorial Day."
2. Those that are designed to recognize a particular
industry, though without appearing to favor one industry at
the expense of another -- for instance, "National
Agriculture Day" or "World Trade Week."
3. Those that recognize certain groups of Americans,
including certain non-profit organizations, for special
praise. Examples of this type include "National Former
Prisoners of War Day," "American Red Cross Month," or
"Federal Employees Recognition Week."
4. Those that recognize past events of an historic nature.
The President will also not issue proclamations
commemorating a date prior to passage of the joint resolution.
Once a joint resolution requesting a proclamation passes one
house of Congress, OMB will normally ask a Department or agency
to prepare a draft proclamation, which OMB then forwards to
-4-
Correspondence for editing and clearance. The process works most
efficiently if these Department and agency drafts are provided to
OMB alone, and not to other White House offices.
Presidential Messages
Some subjects may warrant a Presidential message rather than
a proclamation. For example, Congress requested that June 13,
1984, be commemorated as "Harmon Killebrew Day.' Clearly, it
would be more appropriate to send a message of greetings to an
event honoring Killebrew.
More broadly, Presidential messages are utilized to
recognize various special occasions, events, or circumstances.
Such messages are generally limited to major national
conventions, annual meetings, or events of significant national
organizations; commemorative events; political/Congressional
events; tributes and testimonials; and significant anniversaries
of non-profit organizations.
With respect to charitable or fundraising events, the Office
of the President is generally not associated with a specific
fundraising event. There is a limited exception to this rule for
major fundraising organizations such as the American Red Cross,
American Cancer Society, etc., at their annual dinners or
conventions. Another exception would be events that the
President or the First Lady have specifically endorsed.
Events of a commercial nature or events sponsored by a
profit-making organization generally do not qualify for
Presidential messages.
Thank you for your assistance with respect to the above.
ATTACHMENT
Talking Points for Presidential Events
When the President requires talking points for an event,
they should normally be provided on 4x6 cards. Each point should
be brief -- preferably no more than two or three lines. Please
type on one side of the card only, and please keep the number of
cards to the absolute minimum necessary. The sample below shows
the format talking points should take.
However, for events at which the President is standing to
deliver remarks or at which he will be using a podium, talking
points should be provided on half-sheets ("speech cards").
Offices which have HPLaserJet printers may wish to have the
Computer Center instruct them on how to prepare appropriate half-
sheets in large type. Other offices may ask the office of the
Deputy Assistant to the President for Communications, Rm. 122,
x2930, to prepare these half-sheets. However, offices must
provide the approved talking points to Communications on a
diskette in WordPerfect. This will save the necessity of
retyping the talking points and will speed their completion.
TALKING POINTS
-- Talking points should be typed on 4x6 cards in this format.
--
They should be double-spaced between points.
-- Regular type may be used to print cards; orator or other
large type should be used for speech cards.
-- Points should be brief and clearly worded for quick
reference.
-- Xerox copies of the cards should be attached to the 16
copies of the briefing memo submitted to the Staff
Secretary's office. For events outside the White House, two
originals of the cards are required.

SHIRLEY M. GREEN 15mg
SUBJECT;
ANNUAL CORRESPONDENCE DEPARTMENT REPORT
Attached is our annual Correspondence Report covering the period
January 21, 1990 to January 20, 1991. Some interesting items --
and my interpretation where they are significantly different
from the first year report -- include:
Total volume down in 1990. I assume that is because of
very high volume of largely congratulatory mail in 1989
-- for election, inaugural address, first address to
Congress, first birthdays in White House, first
Christmas in White House, etc. All these categories
were up in 1989, which I am told is usual for first
year of a new Administration.
Mail referred to departments almost doubled in 1990.
As the Administration became more deeply involved in
complicated legislation, more letters needed detailed
response from appropriate agencies.
Mrs. Bush's outgoing letters and messages to Public
Events was nearly double 1989 -- obviously, because of
her popularity.
Total outgoing correspondence was up 400,000 over 1989
because we are trying to answer more letters, even if
they are critical.
Calls to the Comments Lines was up 83,478 in 1990,
primarily because of Budget Summit and Persian Gulf.
Of 97 issues tallied, only the top 23 are listed.
Iraq-Kuwait letters are listed as 133,161 since only
four days of Operation Desert Storm are covered
(January 16-Janauary 20). The overall total to date is
actually over 200,000.

UNCF Dinner
Big
In light of your interest and your longstanding association
with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), please be advised we
have reviewed Mr. Johnson's proposal with Counsel again, and it
Dumen
would appear that you could host a general event honoring UNCF.
The dinner would not be "expressly" for the purpose of rewarding
or soliciting contributions to UNCF and would not be
"exclusively" for UNCF's major contributors.
Also, general discussion with Rose Zamaria and Gary Walters
Bill
indicates that while the White House does not have gift
authority, the Executive Residence can be reimbursed for events.
That authority is the basis on which the Team 100 dinner and
State Dinners are paid for by the RNC and the State Department,
respectively.
Accordingly, if you are interested in hosting a more broadly
based dinner honoring UNCF, the concerns which Counsel identified
(attached) can be ameliorated. If you wish, we will draft a
response along these lines and can work with UNCF and Gary to
develop an event consistent with past precedent.

MEMORANDUM FOR PHILLIP D. BRADY
ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND
STAFF SECRETARY
FROM:
JAY S. BYBEE pv
ASSOCIATE COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT:
Letter to POTUS from John Johnson
You have requested our views on a letter from John Johnson to the
President in which he asks that the President hold a dinner at
the White House for major donors to the United Negro College Fund
("UNCF"). Mr. Johnson has not only requested a dinner, but has
asked that the dinner be held on November 19, 1991, which is
National Philanthropy Day. Additionally, he advises that UNCF is
willing to pay for the dinner.
There are two separate questions posed by Mr. Johnson's request.
First, can (or should) the President hold a dinner for major UNCF
donors. Second, if the President were to hold such a dinner,
could UNCF pay for the dinner.
We should begin by emphasizing that the President and First Lady
may invite whomever they wish to the White House for dinner. The
President and First Lady have always been generous in recognizing
the contributions, financial and otherwise, that have been made
to the Administration's causes. (The recent Team 100 dinner is a
good example.) But in our view it would be inappropriate for an
outside organization such as the UNCF to use the White House so
explicitly to reward (or solicit) contributors.
As you know the President has adopted a policy regarding the use
of his name by charitable institutions. Under this policy, which
differs from the President's policy regarding commercial
endorsements, the President routinely declines to permit his name
to be used in connection with charitable fundraising, except for
those institutions or causes with which he was involved prior to
becoming President. It is our understanding that the President
had substantial involvement with UNCF prior to becoming President
and that he has continued to support UNCF's efforts.
Notwithstanding the President's continued support for UNCF, we
recommend against the President holding a White House dinner
exclusively for UNCF's major contributors. First, while the
President frequently has attended charitable fundraising events
such as banquets, we unaware of an event at the White House which
was held exclusively to honor donors to an outside charitable
cause. Such an event would suggest that the President had used
his office for the gain of a private foundation. We believe that
such explicit use would be inappropriate. Second, there is the
appearance of a quid pro quo in that donors to UNCF are rewarded
with a White House dinner. Third, and wholly apart from these
concerns, we are concerned with the inferences that would be
drawn from a dinner that only recognized major donors. At a time
when the President is emphasizing volunteerism and philanthropy,
it would be a cross signal for the President to honor only major
contributors to UNCF.
In any event, no outside organization may pay for its dinner at
the White House. Since the White House does not have gift
acceptance authority, such payment would constitute an
augmentation of appropriations. The National Park Service does
have gift acceptance authority and we have relied on that
authority for donations of food and drink for events such as the
Easter Egg Roll and the physical fitness program. We doubt that
an event such as that proposed by Mr. Johnson would fall within
the Park Service's gift acceptance authority, but should there be
interest in pursuing this question, we would press the question
to the Park Service.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this matter. If
there are any further questions, please do not hesitate to
contact us.

641 LEXINGTON AVENUE
NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10022
June 4, 1991
Dear Governor Sununu,
Thanks so much for your interest in an event at the White
House for the major donors to the United Negro College Fund.
We are trying to raise $250 million for our capital campaign.
We feel that a dinner at the White House, preferably on
November 19, National Philanthropy Day, would be extremely helpful
to us as we get this drive under way. If dinner is impossible,
lunch would be our second choice.
These are very big donors, and the President's interest
would be very helpful to us. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks so much.
Sincerely,
