Buchen\nCounsel to the President\nThe White House\nWashington, D.C. 20500\nDear Mr. Buchen:\nCongratulations on your appointment this week as the Counsel\nto the President of the United States. As you know, the\nWhite House Counsel is a most important man on the President's\nstaff, and I am pleased that a man of your experience and\nexcellent reputation is in that position. The job that you\nnow have will probably be the most challenging of your career\nand I hope that you find it rewarding and exciting.\nAs Counsel to the President, one of your responsibilities\nis to oversee the issuance of Executive Orders. I believe\nthat one of the first Executive Orders that President Ford\nshould issue is one to amend Executive Order #11649.\nExecutive Order # 11649 was issued by President Richard\nNixon on February 16, 1972. It is entitled REGULATIONS GOVERN-\nING THE SEALS OF THE PRESIDENT AND THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE\nUNITED STATES. What it does is prohibit the use of the Pres-\nidential and/or Vice Presidential Seals for anything other\nthan official events and historical or newsworthy purposes.\nIn addition, the Executive Order prohibits the sale of the\nSeals in any form.\nI share the concern which prompted Executive Order # 11649,\nhowever, it goes too far in one respect. That is that it\nprevents the Bureau of Engraving and Printing from selling\ncolor lithographs of the Presidential and Vice Presidential\nR.\nFORD\nGERALD\nLIBRARY\n-2-\nHonorable Philip W. Buchen\nSeals (on paper) to the general public. As you may know,\nprior to the issuance of Executive Order # 11649, the Bureau\nprinted in beautiful colors the Seals on white paper and sold\nthem to the general public. Now, because of Executive Order\n# 11649, that is not possible.\nIt is my belief that the Bureau should be permitted to sell\nto the public color lithographs of the Presidential and Vice\nPresidential Seals. The Presidency and the Vice Presidency\nare public offices. In Britain, where there is a monarchy,\nthe Royal Emblems are closely guarded, and understandably SO.\nBut in the United States, we do not have a monarchy, and\nwhile the Presidential and Vice Presidential Seals should\nnot be given as door prizes at a raffle, the American people\nwhould be permitted to buy a color lithograph of the Seals\nfor their homes if they so desire.\nNaturally, there is the concern of someone abusing the Seal\nof the President and Vice President. One should remember,\nhowever, that the Seals were sold in the past, without any\nproblems, and it is ridiculous to think that someone would\ntry to impersonate the President of the United States -\nsurely they would need more than a paper Seal to do it!\nAccordingly, I have drawn up a proposed Executive Order\nwhich amends Executive Order # 11649 to allow the Bureau\nof Engraving and Printing to print and sell color lithographs\nof the Seal of the President and the Seal of the Vice Pres-\nident of the United States. The other restrictions that\nPresident Nixon had in the original Executive Order remain.\nAll this proposal does is to give the American people a\nchance to buy the Seals from the Bureau.\nYour staff should read the proposal to correct any improper\nlanguage in the legal terms. In addition, Mr. Timmons and\nthe Congressional relations people should work with the Cong-\nress to amend Public Law 91-651, which is similar to Executive\nOrder # 11649.\n-3-\nHonorable Philip W. Buchen\nI am enclosing a copy of the original Executive Order # 11649\nas issued by President Nixon, a copy of my proposed Executive\nOrder, and a copy of Public Law 91-651.\nObviously, this is not one of our Nation's more urgent\nneeds. Yet if President Ford were to accept this suggestion\nit would be a small but very important step in making the\nPresidency a little more open - a little less royal - and\na little more human.\nI shall look forward to your reply.\nSincerely,\nMark Mark D.

C. 20006\nDear Bob:\nPursuant to our telephone conversation of last week\nI am enclosing some draft language that might be used by\nthe President for a dedication of THE MENTALLY RETARDED\nCITIZEN AND THE LAW. The President and his staff may want\nto use other language; this is only one possibility. It\nis important for us to try to secure an early decision,\nhowever, on the question of whether or not the President\nwill be willing to provide a short dedication for the\nvolume. Needless to say, I feel that mentally retarded\ncitizens, and the President's Committee on Mental Retard-\nation, would be greatly benefited by such an introduction.\nTHE MENTALLY RETARDED CITIZEN AND THE LAW is a landmark\nvolume in our efforts to insure that the legal system benefits,\nrather than discriminates against, mentally retarded citizens.\nThe volume contains 22 major scholarly papers on various aspects\nof law and mental retardation, and over 35 reaction comments\nto the papers. It will probably run 800 pages. The contribu-\ntors and editors of the volume are outstanding attorneys, scho-\nlars, social scientists, and consumers. The topics in the\nvolume include many in which legal frontiers are being explored\nhere for the first time. I am enclosing a copy of the tableord\nof contents of the volume for your use.\nLIBRAR\nMr. Robert Collier\nSeptember 3, 1974\nPage 2\nA major focus of attention of the President's Committee\nhas long been in the area of law and mental retardation. The\npredecessor of the President's Committee, the President's Panel\non Mental Retardation, issued a special Task Force report on\nMental Retardation and the Law. They set forth some basic prin-\nciples and called for increased scholarly attention to this long\nneglected area. This effort has been pursued by the Law and\nEthics Committee of the current President's Committee. The\nPresident's Committee decided in 1971 to pursue this goal\nthrough a conference and publication to be sponsored by the\nCommittee. With the assistance of then-Secretary Elliot\nRichardson, Mr. John Twiname, and Mr. James Garrett, funding\nwas obtained and the project begun. THE MENTALLY RETARDED\nCITIZEN AND THE LAW is thus the culmination of 12 years of\nefforts of the President's Committee and the President's\nPanel, and has been a major focus of efforts for the President's\nCommittee over the past three years.\nI will appreciate your bringing to the President's attention,\nif you have an opportunity to do so, this question of whether he\nwould be willing to provide a dedication, or some other appro-\npriate introductory statement for THE MENTALLY RETARDED CITIZEN\nAND THE LAW.\nLooking forward to seeing you at our next meeting in\nOctober.\nWarm regards.\nYours very truly,\nLawrence A. Kane, Jr.\nLAK,Jr/wg\nEncs: 1/ Draft dedication statement of President Ford\n2/ Table of Contents for volume \"The Mentally\nRetarded Citizen and the Law\nDINSMORE, SHOHL, COATES & DEUPREE\nDRAFT\nPRESIDENTIAL DEDICATION\nFOR\nTHE MENTALLY RETARDED CITIZEN AND THE LAW\nA collection of papers and reaction comments sponsored\nby the President's Committee on Mental Retardation and\nto be published by The Free Press a division of\nMacmillan Publishing Co.\nOpportunity for every individual to develop his full potential has\nlong been an American ideal. We judge our success or failure as a\nnation by the norms of justice and equality under the law. The treat-\nment we have accorded mentally retarded and other handicapped members\nof our society tests our success and challenges our ideals. Only\nrecently have we sought to assure the right of mentally retarded\ncitizens to develop their full potential, to share in the bounty of\nour land, and to receive equal justice under the law.\nThe President's Committee on Mental Retardation has stood for more\nthan a decade as the symbol of Presidential dedication to securing these\nrights to mentally retarded Americans. This volume, sponsored by the\nPresident's Committee, is a large step toward the achievement of that\ngoal. It pierces the shadows of injustice and deprivation that have too\nTh\nlong excluded mentally retarded individuals from their rightful place as\nfull citizens of our great nation. It explores legal doctrines long\nused to restrict mentally retarded individuals and demonstrates the\nproper place of the law as guarantor of justice and equality The\nlawyers, scholars, social scientists, and parents who have joined to-\ngether to produce this remarkable collection of papers and comments\nchallenge each of us-executive, legislator, judge, citizen-to make\nour goals of justice, equality, and opportunity a reality for the\nmentally retarded citizens among us.\nis\nFORD\nGerald R.
