[April 1975?]
Below I describe the charges made by Maxine Cheshire
in her original newspaper story for the Washington Post --
a story which was held up and then published only in
revised form after the death of Jim Howe. After each
charge, I comment on the relevant evidence I have learned.
(1) The charge is that Nancy Howe accepted for herself,
Jim Howe, and their daughter, Lise Courtney, age 22,
the invitation of Tongsun Park to be his guest in
the Dominican Republic resort of LaRomana and
accepted his hospitality for rent of a villa there
for which she made reimbursement belatedly and
only after having been challenged by Maxine. Park
was not on the trip, but his mistress Tandy
Dickinson accompanied the Howes and paid for the
charges of the party at the resort.
Maxine further charges that the invitation was
originally to use a new condominium unit
belonging to Park in Palm Beach which proved to
be unavailable because furnishings had not
arrived on time. Park also owned land in the
FORD GERALD LIBRAR.

LaRomana setting on which he intends to build
his house and she quotes Jim Howe as saying,
"we thought we would be staying in the house
he bought there, but that isn't finished
either. We didn't realize he would be renting
a villa."
It appears that Tandy Dickinson, now divorced, is a
native of Lynchburg, Virginia, original home of Nancy Howe,
and that Tandy has been a close friend of the Howe family
from the time she came to Washington and suffered through
a two-year marriage to Mr. Dickinson. This friendship long
preceded acquaintance by the Howes with Park, which did not
begin until the summer of 1974. In March of this year when
Park learned that the Howes were planning an Easter vacation
trip, he did talk about having them use the condominium
apartment he expected to have ready in the near future.
Jim Howe says he did not look upon this as a place where he
and his family would get free lodging but a place which
would be available for rental to them. The Howe family also
talked with George and Betty Beale Grabel about joining them
on the possible trip to Palm Beach.
The Howes realized well in advance of the time for
the vacation trip that the Park condominium would not be
FORD
is
ready and they inquired of Garrett Stackleberg about finding
- 3 -
rooms at the Breakers Hotel or some other place in Palm Beach
but learred that reservations would be difficult to obtain.
The Howes were friends of Ambassador Vicioso from the
Dominican Republic, and he urged them to visit his country
and particularly the resort of LaRomana. Jim Howe had
received glowing comments about this resort from one of his
colleagues, and he and the family had learned from Tandy
Dickinson about her visit to the same resort in February.
Although the Howes knew Park had purchased a lot in the
LaRomana area for purposes of building a new home, they
understood that the home was still in the planning stages.
Only after they had tentatively made plans to take their
vacation at LaRomana did Tandy Dickinson, according to her
statement, determine that she would like to go with them,
at a time when she knew Park would be away from the country.
The Howes relied on Tandy to make the reservations for
the flight to Santa Domingo and on Ambassador Vicioso to
make the room reservations. When Jim Howe was told that
flights had been booked on National airlines to Miami and on
PanAm from Miami to Santa Domingo, he on March 27 went to
the National Airlines ticket office in Washington to purchase
the three tickets for the Howe family, intending to use his
American Express card. Then he found that the tickets had
FORD & LIBRARY 938870
- 4 -
been issued by PanAm and he went to the PanAm office where
he purchased the tickets, stubs of which show that each of
the three tickets were paid for by a charge against his
American Express card. The same day he went to the branch
at Warren and Wisconsin Avenue of the Riggs Bank where he
purchased ten $50.00 American Express cheques, using his
personal check number 4610 and at the same time he
deposited his wife's salary check in the amount of $648.00.
Mrs. Dickinson purchased her own ticket. On the same day,
Jim Howe verified that he had a balance of $1,300 in the
joint checking account at the Riggs Bank, and that he had
available an overline credit of $970.00. Jim Howe took
with him on the trip three blank personal checks to be used
if necessary.
The flight occurred on March 28 and on arrival in Santa
Domingo, the three members of the Howe family and
Mrs. Dickinson were taken to LaRomana in the courtesy car
furnished by the resort to all customers coming in by air.
When Jim Howe registered for the two rooms occupied by the
Howes, he showed his American Express card for purposes of
having it recorded on the registration card that he would
be making payment by means of a charge to his American
Express card.

Because of a lecture engagement in New York, Jim Howe
left on April 1, three days before the others did. At the
time he left Nancy with seven of the original ten American
Express cheques and with the remainder of his Dominican
Republic money which he had obtained by cashing two of the
other cheques. The tenth cheque Jim Howe took back to
New York with him. Jim had signed all seven checks in
blank for Nancy to use, and he also left with her the three
blank personal checks which he had taken along.
Tandy Dickinson advises that she paid the hotel bill
for the four persons up through Thursday, April 3 in the
amount of $1,475 in cash, with the understanding that the
remaining charges up to the time the party left on April 4
would be mailed to the Howes on their return.
The women arrived back in Miami on the afternoon of
April 4. Nancy Howe intended to continue on to Washington
that afternoon, but Lise Courtney and Tandy planned to
stay on in Miami at a friend's house until Sunday.
Maxine Cheshire had tried to call Nancy on Thursday
night in Santa Domingo but she was not available, and
Nancy returned the call only after she arrived in Miami.
On that call, Maxine charged the Howes with illegally
having accepted the benefits of a vacation from Tongsun Park.
GERALD VORD
- 6 -
Nancy denied this and said she had paid Tandy for the Howes'
share of the expenses, although up to that time this was not
the case.
After Mr. & Mrs. Howe were both back in Washington on
Sunday but before Tandy and Lise Courtney had returned,
Maxine Cheshire met with them in the company of their
neighbor, Terisa Scott. Jim Howe says that he denied any
intention to have avoided payment on the Howes' share of
the vacation expenses and said he intended to reimburse
Tandy when she returned. Although Tandy did return to the
Howes' home with Lise Courtney on Sunday evening, no reim-
bursement was made at that time but was made on the next
day when Jim Howe accompanied Tandy to the American Security
Bank branch in Georgetown. There he gave her the four
remaining $50 American Express cheques (being those left
from the seven which Nancy had been given by him in Santa
Domingo) and a $800.00 personal check. Jim Howe states that
the reason for his having carried out this transaction at
Tandy's bank was to be sure that she immediately deposited
the instruments so that the record would show payment of
the $1,000 on that day. The $1,000 figure was not final
and was to be adjusted by a further payment when the bill
for the final day at LaRomana was received.

Maxine Cheshire draws the inference that the Howes
at the outset had not intended to bear their part of the
expenses while they were in Santa Domingo. She infers
this from the fact that they had no understanding of the
rate of charges for this stay and that they could not
have afforded to bear the expense. Jim Howe indicates,
however, that he anticipated the stay would be expensive,
recalling the occasion in 1971 when he and Nancy had
stayed at the Ritz Hotel in Madrid for a week where the
expenses were over $1,200. He also points out that he
had an ample balance in his checking account along with
an overline of credit which would have enabled him to make
the payment directly to the LaRomana if he had stayed with
the rest until the end of their stay, or he could have
discharged his obligation through use of the American Express
card -- the use of which he had arranged for at the time he
checked into LaRomana. Lise Courtney said that she and her
mother made no attempts at departure time to pay their hotel
bill directly because they knew Tandy had paid it and knew
they could settle up with her afterwards.
(2) The next charges were (i) that Tongsun Park in
December bought tickets for the three members of
the Howe family to take a four-day trip to
Mexico City with Tandy Dickinson and him;
GERALD FORM
- 8 -
(ii) that Nancy's name and her White House
job were used to arrange with the U. S. Embassy
in Mexico a stay for the Howes and Park and
Mrs. Dickinson in the Ambassador's residence
and chauffering from the airport to the Embassy
in the Ambassador's car;
(iii) that even though Nancy and Jim were
diverted from taking the trip because of his
automobile accident on December 26, their
daughter accepted the hospitality, while she
was employed by the Federal Communications Com-
mission, and the parents had accepted the air
travel tickets from Park without payment
although Jim Howe after cashing in the tickets
purports to have later reimbursed Park by handing
him $800.00 in cash when Park was in the Howes'
home for dinner.
The Howes had thought of taking a vacation trip over
the Christmas holidays, and at a Christmas dinner when
Park and Tandy were with the Howes at their home, Park
and Tandy urged the Howes to join them in going to Mexico
City. Others at the dinner included Mr. & Mrs. Constantine
Stackleberg; their son, a friend of Courtney's along with
his sister and her friend.
tono
- 9 -
Mrs. Stackleberg, as a result of her learning about the
planned trip was the one responsible for contacting the
U. S. Embassy, although without knowledge of the Howes,
according to them. The Howes were uncertain about making
the trip, particularly because Jim Howe had a lecture
engagement in New York on Saturday, December 28 and there-
fore would have had to leave from New York after the rest
of the party had left from Washington.
Park went ahead nevertheless to get the tickets and
made Jim Howe's reservations from New York to Mexico City.
The Howes apparently acquired the two tickets on the 26th.
Lise Courtney recalled that she picked them up from Park
at his home when she stopped there to see Tandy, although
Tandy has no recollection of having seen Park deliver the
tickets. Jim Howe states that if he had gone on the trip
he would have paid for those tickets. The decision by Jim
and Nancy not to take the trip apparently occurred the
night of December 26 after the accident or early on December
27, but Jim Howe indicates that their decision not to go was
motivated by the short duration of the trip particularly for
him, because of his commitment in New York, and that not
withstanding the accident he was able to keep his commitment
in New York. In preparation for her going on the trip, Lise
Courtney withdrew $300 from her savings account which she
says she gave Park as she departed on their flight Saturday
morning, December 28. She later, on Monday, December
30 gave FORD VIBRARY
- 10 -
him another $40 from the extra cash she had along. Otherwise,
she contributed no funds to the expenses of the trip.
On December 27, Lise Courtney returned the two tickets
issued in the name of Mr. & Mrs. Howe probably at the
American Airlines office in the Statler Hotel and received
two checks made out to Mr. & Mrs. Howe for the price of the
tickets. Later Jim Howe cashed in the checks and retained
the cash until the evening of January 4 which was the first
time he saw Park after he had left for Mexico and had gone
away on another trip. On that occasion Park and Tandy were
having cocktails in the Howes' home and Mr. Howe asked Park
to come into the kitchen where he handed him an envelope
with the cash in it. Tandy says she remembers having Park
acknowledge to her later that Jim had given him the money
received from returning the original tickets, but she did
not directly observe the transaction.
When I asked Jim Howe why he had not simply endorsed
the airline checks over to Park, he replied that he had not
thought of doing SO but had considered depositing them to his
account and writing his own check to Park only to discard
that alternative for fear Park might not cash the check
drawn on the Howes' account.
Jim Howe said he knew little about Park's affairs
except that he was a man of obvious wealth and that he had

shipping interests and traded in rice. Jim knew of Park's
friendships with Members of Congress, but he also had been
told of the general reputation which Park had of not asking
his political friends for favors.
The foregoing information comes from my having talked
to Jim Howe and Lise Courtney in my office on both April 9
and 10, each time for about two hours. I also talked by
telephone on April 10 with Tandy Dickinson and have indicated
where her recollection is not the same as that of Jim and
Lise Courtney. My call from Mrs. Stackleburg, (telephone
232-6735) also on April 10, was interrupted before I could
verify her part in the matter and I have not called her back.

FROM:
PHILIP BUCHEN
T.W.B.
In view of the interest of the press and public demonstrators
in the First Lady's activities to support the proposed Women's
Rights Constitutional Amendment, I am reminded to caution each
of you about use of White House staff or facilities for acti-
vities not in the ordinary course of official operations.
The activities related to the Women's Rights Amendment were
intended to influence the votes of State Legislators and are
in no way restricted by any Federal legislation. However, if
there were to be activities intended to influence the public
on legislation before the Congress, my office should be con-
sulted before any steps are taken.
Also, on any functions which are related to fund raising
projects or which might appear to pose conflict-of-interest
problems with persons doing substantial business with the
Government or having a major interest in the outcome of
particular Federal legislative proposals, I would suggest
advance consultation with my office.
Another way in which we may be helpful to you is in proposing
how to answer correspondence to the First Lady or press
questions which touch upon legal matters or the propriety of
particular activities.
There is no thought that problems have already arisen which
should have been avoided, but in order to maintain the good
record, I am suggesting that caution should be exercised in
the matters described so as to avoid any possible future
problems.

Mrs. Gerald R. Ford
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mrs. Ford,
We are writing to you on behalf of an old building in
which we have a particular interest --- and of which, we would
like to think, you might have some special memories as well:
the St. Cecilia Music Building in Grand Rapids. You have spent
many hours in this place; we are making a special request for
your presence once more. Please let us explain.
The St. Cecilia Building was dedicated in 1894, and is
a Registered National, State and City Historic Site. About
nine years ago, as part of a college park urban renewal project,
the City planned to extend Jefferson Avenue right through it.
Since then, however, the campus plans have been changed, a much
better recognition of the historic and cultural worth of this
edifice has been achieved, and the City is now on record as
recommending that it be restored, and Jefferson Avenue be curved
in such a way as to go around us.
This building has been kept remarkably faithful to its
original purposes, and has undergone very little structural
alteration, inside or out. It is invaluable to our Society in
making possible our large and varied programs of musical per-
formance and education; and to the community in offering these
unduplicated facilities at very modest rentals.
The structure is also absolutely normal in showing every
one of its eighty years of wear and tear. We are faced with
the responsibility and the privilege of restoring this historic
institution to its rightful, turn-of-the-century beauty as well
as maintaining it as a functional cultural asset to the commun-
ity.
FORGI
Mrs. Gerald R. Ford

We have completed extensive engineering studies to make
sure that the basic framework is sound and capable of long life
and usefulness; and have engaged Architect William Thrall to
outline feasible and desirable goals and stages of restoration.
On the basis of these studies we have committed ourselves to a
Restoration Fund Drive with a total goal of $900,000 (which in-
cludes some additional land, parking, site development, etc.)
a "must-have" goal of $600,000 (redecoration, air condi-
tioning, small elevator, new lighting and plumbing)
a
"we'll be closed without it" goal of $200,000 (extended fire
and safety protection). At this writing, more than half the
latter amount has been pledged from members of the Society.
Why are we writing to you about this? Because we all
feel that if you could find it possible to be the special guest
at a gala fund-raising dinner, concert, and perhaps a following
reception, it would be the single most important boost to what
is to us in these times a very difficult campaign. We are sure
that you understand that we would also most urgently wish to
include the President in this invitation, if that would be possi-
ble. We are well aware of the tremendous demands upon the time
and attention of both of you -- but we truly believe that this
is a uniquely worthy cause!
The date, of course, would be up to you. Perhaps a "kick"
off" event in October (or September or November) would be most
desirable. Could you possibly help us in this way?
The accompanying folder is a quick up-date on the current
status of the building and the Society. Under separate cover,
in a larger envelope, we are sending a copy of our current Year-
book and Directory, and the printed fund-campaign materials being
used. We hope that these may be brought to your attention and
that you may find an opportunity to study them. We have no wish
to inundate you with material, but we do want you to be fully
and properly informed as to just what we are doing and how we
are going about it, before asking you to commit yourself to any
measure of support. Of course we stand ready to answer any
further questions, or meet your stipulations in any possible way.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. We are
really hoping that you may find it to be a good, home-town,
culturally beneficial -- and even fun -- thing to do. We look
forward to hearing from you.

St. Cecilia - A Majestic Tradition with a Bold Future
(Cost estimate: $350,000).
In December 1974, the Saints
launched the drive to fund their restora-
tion project. The Saints have fought hard
to save their building. The St. Cecilia
Music Society has a bold new future and
excitement is growing. Two new youth
music programs were added last year -
the Junior Orchestra and the Junior
Choir. In recent months the St. Cecilia
building has been bustling with increased
activities.
Hopefully, this new excitement will
spread throughout the Grand Rapids
community. Success for the St. Cecilia
project will be a success for the whole
community. A historic building with
majestic tradition will be preserved at J
fraction of the cost of a new facility. The
high standards of Grand Rapids music
will be maintained and extended to more
persons all contributing to improving
the quality of life in the community.

Troy, Michigan 48084
Dear Mr. Baldwin:
The members of the ninety year old St. Cecilia Music Society propose to restore
and renovate their eighty year old St. Cecilia Auditorium-Headquarters. The
impetus for this plan derives from the dramatic fact that if they do not bring
their building within current safety standards, it will be condemned and closed
by the Grand Rapids Fire Department as unsafe and dangerous.
The decision to save the building was not casually determined. The cost to re-
build equal facilities was found to be three times what was estimated to be the
cost of restoration and renovation - and there would be no assurance that the
exceptional accoustics of the auditorium could be duplicated. Shared space was
not feasible if the Society was to keep unbroken its history of dynamic musical
leadership. Thus the decision was made to restore the St. Cecilia Building to
its original elegance, a living example for today's young musicians that our
heritage is the base for all that is good today.
The estimated total cost of this project is $920,000. The amount requested from
the Kresge Foundation is $180,000. The background information for our request is
contained in the attached documents:
1. materials relating to validity and priority of the project.
2. schedule of project commencement and estimated completion.
3. brochure describing project and its estimated cost.
4. statement of verification of cost estimates from Owen-Ames-Kimball,
a general contractor of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
5. statement of how we propose to finance the restoration project and of
our fund-raising progress to date and expected dates of receipt of funds.
6. past, present and projected operating budgets for the Society and state-
ment of how they will be, met.
7. tax exemption letter for the St. Cecilia Music Society and IRS ruling

We believe the St. Cecilia Restoration Project deserves your thoughtful considera-
tion.

like to talk with you about the report of
Nancy Howe's resignation.
7:30 I called him back to tell him you know nothing about it.
He asked if that means that the inquiry into the trips
has been cancelled.
I told him you had gone for the day and we couldn't
reach you.
He said they were going to low-key
the story so just wouldn't say anything about the investigation.

Mr. Philip W. Buchen
Special Assistant to the President
The White House
Washington, D.C.
Dear Phil:
I know the decision in the Howe matter had to be most
difficult. You are right, however, and I only hope
the rest of the White House staff gets the proverbial
message - this administration will stand for no non-
sense in the conduct of the staff whether private or
otherwise.
That's the way we ran things in the old days. I assure
you some matters may pull at the heart-strings but, in
the end, we have to stand by our credibility.
Sincerely,
John John P. Milanowski

Thank you very much for your understanding
and sympathetic note about the Howe matter.
As you can appreciate, the situation and
its outcome proved tremendously disturbing

handling the problem.
Warmest personal regards.
