THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
MEMORANDUM FOR:
GENERAL ALEXANDER HAIG
FROM:
DAVID J. WIMER
SUBJECT:
American Revolution
Bicentennial Advisory
Council (PA)
Public Law 93-179 establishes this 25 member Council,
stipulating that members "shall be chosen from private
life and shall be broadly representative of the nation's
people.' The legislation requires that the President
give "due consideration to the contributions, among
others, of the Nation's youth, women, elders, racial
and ethnic minorities, artists and craftsmen, and learned
professions. "
In March, when the President announced his nomination of
John Warner as Administrator of ARBA, Warner received the
President's blessing to proceed at a deliberate pace in
determining the persons whom Warner would recommend for
appointment to this advisory council. With guidance and
assistance rom Anne Armstrong and from my staff, Warner
has put tog ther a recommended list of appointees and al-
ternates wh. ch I believe is a balanced cross-section of
accomplished Americans.
At Warner's urging, I have included a few persons who rep-
resent cons ituencies to which we ordinarily make no appeal.
In Warner's view this helps to establish the non-partisan
credentials of the council and makes it more credible to
a wider segment of the people. At the same time, I did
not wish to lose control of this advisory body, which may
prove to have symbolic value over the next two years, and
have worked closely with Bill Baroody, Sr., to insure that
we maintained a line-up which leans the council decisively
toward a move conservative concept of the Bicentennial
celebration Armstrong, Warner and Baroody, Sr., agree
that the council outlined in Tab A should be able to work
as well together as any other group of 25 strong personal-
ities. Each has access to resources and influences which,
-2-
taken as a whole, can contribute immeasurably to an ef-
fective and memorable celebration.
The legislation allows fifteen members to be of the same
political party. However, our principal concern was to
insure that the council was philosophically bent in the
right direction. We do not have as many Republicans as
I would have liked to see, but given the constraints of
the Bicentennial Act and the need to involve as many
people as possible in the spirit of the country's 200th
birthday, that was one aim which we could not totally
fulfill. In spite of this, I believe the list on balance
reflects the President's way of thinking as well as his
expressed desire that the Bicentennial be a truly national
undertaking.
Brief comments on each recommendee and several alternates
follow:

eliminated Clayton from consideration. Nevertheless,
the selection of Hale is preferable in the key respect
