Dear Eric:
Mary Louise Smith has kindly forwarded to me a
note from your Mom, asking that I sign the enclosed
magazine cover. Although I appreciate the spirit
of friendship in which the request was made, long-
standing policy prevents me from signing such an
item. I know that you will understand, and I hope
that you will enjoy the attached White House
photograph instead.
It was a treat to go running with you and your
fellow students back in 1987. In some ways, it's
hard to believe that so much time has passed since
then. Your Mom tells me that you will be graduating
from Iowa State this year -- congratulations!
Barbara joins me in sending best wishes to you for
the future.

Dear Mr. President:
It is with a deep sense of privilege that I recommend to you
for reappointment my close friend and associate, Mr. Sigmund
Strochlitz. A survivor of the Holocaust, he has served with
unparalleled devotion and distinction on the Holocaust Memorial
Council since its inception. Many of the Council's achievements are
to be credited to his organizational talents. He is the one who
almost singlehandedly turned the annual Remembrance Day ceremonies
into meaningful events both in Washington and in the fifty States of
the Union.
He was at my side--with counsel and support--wherever I went
and whatever I did for the sake of remembrance.
Even before the President and Congress decided to create
Holocaust-related programs, Sigmund established Institutes and Chairs
in various institutions for higher education to help people remember
the greatest tragedy in recorded history.
Survivors, Mr. President, have done more than anyone to keep
the memory of the Holocaust alive. But even among the survivors,
Sigmund stands out as an exception. And an example.
That is why, Mr. President, I urge you to reappoint him to the
Holocaust Memorial Council which still needs his help and inspiration.
With every good wish, I remain, as ever,
Elie Wiesel

Weekly Report: April 6 - April 10, 1992
I. Current Secretarial Activities
SCANS ANNOUNCEMENT
On April 7, Secretary Martin and the Secretary's Commission
on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) issued the final report,
"Learning a Living: A Blueprint for High Performance." The
report calls for the reorganization of education and work to
close the skills gap and prepare the workforce for the future.
SCANS represents a two-year effort by a 31-member commission
including representatives of education, business, labor and state
government. The Commission is chaired by former Secretary of
Labor William E. Brock. At the same time, Secretary Martin
released a video called "Second to None" and a "SCANS Report
Card,' describing nearly 40 of the many SCANS-related programs
underway throughout the country.
AMERICAN BUSINESS CONFERENCE ROUNDTABLE
Secretary Martin spoke at a luncheon roundtable session of
the American Business Conference on the Labor Department's
school-to-work programs, job training and retraining programs and
the Glass Ceiling Initiative.
MEETING WITH THE U.K. AMBASSADOR
Secretary Martin met with Sir Robin Renwick, Ambassador to
the United States from the United Kingdom. The Secretary and the
Ambassador discussed assistance to Central and Eastern Europe;
the social dimensions of the European Community 1992, which is a
series of proposals to harmonize labor market, health and safety,
social security and industrial relations in the European
Community; and the close working relationship of the United
States and Britain on International Labor Organization (ILO)
matters.

TEXAS "PATRIOTS" ROUNDTABLE
Secretary Martin met with 25 members of the Texas Patriots
Club, a group of active Texas Republicans, who also met with the
President and Cabinet officers.
WORK-BASED LEARNING COMMISSION
On April 7, the National Advisory Commission on Work-Based
Learning met in Washington, D.C. Chaired by Jack MacAllister,
Chairman of US WEST, Inc., the Commission is composed of
representatives of business, education, labor and community-based
organizations. The Commission was established to provide advice
on a continuing basis to the Secretary of Labor on ways to
increase the skill levels of the American workforce and expand
access to training in order to improve American competitiveness.
Deputy Secretary of Labor Delbert Spurlock and Assistant
Secretary for Employment and Training Roberts Jones addressed the
panel.
NEW DEPUTY SOLICITOR OF LABOR
Labor Secretary Martin announced the appointment of Burton
J. Fishman as Deputy Solicitor of Labor for National Operations.
A specialist in employment-related issues, Fishman will report
directly to Marshall Breger, Solicitor of Labor.
CHICAGO TRIP
On April 9, Secretary Martin traveled to Chicago where she
spoke to fifty Lincoln Park High School students who are members
of Junior Achievement. Secretary Martin attended a Chicago
Museum of Science and Industry "farewell reception" for the
statues commissioned for the 1933-34 Century of Progress
International Exposition. The large wooden figures of automobile
workers will be shipped to Washington, D.C., to be displayed at
the Labor Department. Secretary Martin also spoke to BMW
Chairman Eberhard Von Kuenheim and BMW North American President
Karl Gerlinger about the possibility of another BMW assembly
plant in the U.S.
THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION
The number of seasonally adjusted initial claims for state
unemployment insurance (UI) benefits totaled 432,000 for the week
ending March 28, a decrease of 24,000 from the previous week.

Deputy Assistant to the President

Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Bobbie:
As indicated in the enclosed letter from Pat O'Donnell, the
American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (the union
which represents newscasters, actors, actresses, etc.) is meeting
in Washington, D.C., for the first time in many years, and would
like the President to address its members on either July 25, 26,
or 27, 1991.
Although I am obviously aware that the President is literally
the most sought-after speaker in the world and I do not know your
criteria for an appropriate speaking occasion, I recommend that you
seriously consider AFTRA's request.
By addressing AFTRA, an influential member of the AFL-CIO,
the President would meaningfully demonstrate his awareness of
organized labor. Additionally, it would be an opportunity for the
President to speak directly to those members of the electronic
media who broadcast their news reports in cities and towns
throughout America every day, but have never seen a President in
person.
AFTRA asked for my help because of its awareness of my
participation in the Campaign and my continued support for the
Administration. Moreover, after 15 years of negotiating and
arbitrating against AFTRA throughout the Country, I probably know
this Union better than any other management lawyer.
AFTRA is a politically-moderate, non-controversial union, with
a predominantly highly-paid, highly-educated, and sophisticated

Dear Bruce:
The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists is holding its 1991
convention in Washington, DC, beginning July 25 and ending July 27. Knowing that you
were active in President Bush's election campaign and have an intimate knowledge of our
union, 1 am writing in the hope that you might be able to be instrumental in having the
President speak to the delegates of our convention. As you know, AFTRA is a 70,000
member Union made up of freelance actors and actresses as well as employees of radio
and television broadcasting stations and networks.
I believe the President would be well received by the AFTRA delegates and that
speaking at our convention would offer him an opportunity to not only show his respect
for organized labor but address other issues of importance to the nation.
Whatever you can do will be deeply appreciated.
Sincerely,
Pat O'Donnell

membership that has included President Reagan. I am unaware of any
disputes it has with the Chamber of Commerce, National Association
of Manufacturers, the National Association of Broadcasters or any
other management associations. Although it is always a newsworthy
event when a Republican president addresses a labor union -- and
the predilection of the press to cover itself guarantees
substantial exposure in the media -- I cannot foresee any
awkwardness or negative reactions to an appearance by the
President.
Obviously, the President can speak on any subject which he
finds appropriate; but this Union is more interested in topics
relating to the War in the Gulf, freedom of speech, and other news
and media-related issues than it is to traditional labor issues.
In fact, notwithstanding the topic of the President's speech,
questions from the audience -- if the President elects to take
questions -- are certain to focus on news events rather than labor
issues.
In the event that the President is not available, it is my
understanding that AFTRA would also be delighted if Mrs. Bush could
address the group. A warm welcome for the First Lady could almost
be assured.
If either the President or Mrs. Bush are available, I would
be pleased to meet with the speechwriters to describe the issues
that are of particular importance to this Union.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if I can further or
better explain anything you need to know about the AFTRA
invitation.
Best.
Very truly yours,

I'm writing to ask for your help with an important new CAWP venture -- National

for college women and their advisors from across the country, will be inaugurated this

know that the students will be thrilled to spend time in the White House with an insider.
As you'll see from the enclosed brochure, NEW Leadership is a major leadership
program funded by the Kellogg Foundation to provide a select group of college women
with an intensive introduction to leadership skills and concepts framed in a context of
women's political history. Pairs of students, along with a faculty or staff advisor, from

each of twelve selected colleges or universities will come to the Douglass campus to
scholars. After the summer institute, the students will return to their home to
plan projects which will test and hone their leadership skills. The following summer, campuses the
students will return to Douglass for a few days to report back on their projects and

While we have set the date for our Washington visit, we haven't yet filled in the

4:30 that's most convenient for you. If you could talk with the group for a short time,
respond to questions, and perhaps give them a quick look around, that would be ideal;
we certainly don't want to take more than an hour of your time.
