IN REPLY REFER TO: HEV-11
Mr. Boyce R. Brown, Jr.
1164 Bishop Street
Suite 1102
Honolulu, Hawaii 96813
Dear Mr. Brown:
Thank you for your May 4 letter concerning the proposed construction of
Interstate H-3 in Hawaii. Since the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
has the responsibility for conducting the Federal-aid highway program, we
were recently asked to respond directly to you concerning this project on
behalf of Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President James Baker.
As you have correctly noted in your letter, this project has been in litigation
for many years. It has also been studied and evaluated since its inception,
which spans several administrations. In addition, as recently as April 1982,
the U.S. District Court found that the North Halawa Valley final supplement
to the H-3 environmental impact statement (EIS) demonstrated the need for an
improvement in trans-Koolau transportation. The H-3 project was approved
for inclusion in the national system of Interstate highways in August 1960
after completion of the "Report on Extension of National System of Interstate
and Defense Highways within Alaska and Hawaii." This report was subsequently
accepted by Congress and enabling legislation was enacted. Its continued
development over the years has not been, nor is it now, a partisan political
issue. Let me assure you that a great deal of consideration and study went
into the H-3 decisions and this same consideration will be given in future
project development.
The latest (1982) construction costs as presented in the final second supple-
ment to the H-3 environmental impact/Section 4(f) statement are estimated
to be $580 million, and construction is expected to be completed in 1991.
We acknowledge that the rate of inflation may play a significant role in
the final total cost of the project; however, due to the many factors that
are involved, any present-day projection of final total cost is subject to
change. For example, the highway construction cost index for the past 2 years
has declined by nearly 13 percent.
The H-3 project Is to be constructed with funds appropriated by the Congress
and apportioned by formula, rather than with discretionary grant funds.
For this reason, inflationary increases in overall project cost could not be
used as a basis for withholding future project approvals. Project costs are,
however, an important consideration in determining project concepts and specific
design features.
2
You correctly state that the supplemental environmental impact/Section 4(f)
statement was approved in late 1980. However, due to the U.S. District
Courts' ruling. a second supplemental EIS was required. This document was
approved on September 28, 1982. During the preparation of the most recent
environmental document, past documents were reevaluated. It was determined
that the data upon which other alternatives are proposed for rejection
are still current and the present proposal continues to be a viable project.
It was also determined that traffic system management, increased vehicle
occupancy, and better public transportation services will not solve the
problem of handling increasing local peak period travel demand.
Numerous reports and studies have been conducted concerning the collocation
of the highway and the Coast Guard Omega Station. The final second supplement
evaluated these studies and demonstrated that, with proper shielding and other
precautions, this project presents no critical safety hazards to either con-
struction workers or to the general motoring public and that risks to the
public health and welfare will be small.
Again, let me assure you that the FHWA will continue to monitor the development
of this project to assure compliance with all rules, regulations, and legislative
directives.
Sincerely yours,
L. P. Lamm

May 4, 1982
Gentlemen:
The purpose of this letter is to bring to your attention an
incredibly expensive and wasteful project which the U. S.
Department of Transportation proposes to permit at the same time
that the Reagan administration is trying to get a handle on
government spending. In fairness it should be said that the
commitment to build this project was made by the Carter
administration in a series of "midnight hour" approvals before
leaving office.
First, let me briefly describe the project in question. Interstate
Highway H-3 is a proposed "interstate" highway intended to be a third four-
lane highway connecting the windward and leeward sides of Oahu (the island
which in its entirety comprises the City and County of Honolulu). This
highway is to be 10.7 miles long and includes two tunnels through the
Ko'olau mountain range, each of which is one mile long.
The Department of Transportation of the State of Hawaii has stated
that the cost to build this highway will be $386,152,000. However, this
figure is very misleading since it is based on 1979 costs for the roadway
construction ($242,201,000) and 1977 costs for tunnel construction
($127,371,000) and an unspecified base year for calculating the cost of
right-of-way acquisition ($16,580,000). By referring to Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) Construction Cost Indexes, 2/ if the 1977 costs are
adjusted to reflect cost increases between 1977 and 1979 (35%), the cost in
1979 dollars for the tunnels increases by $44,579,850 to $171,950,850 for a
total project cost adjusted to 1979 dollars of:
roadway construction
$242,201,000
tunnel construction
171,950,000
right-of-way
16,580,000
TOTAL $430,731,000
Between 1979 and the end of the second quarter of 1980, the last year
for which the FHWA Construction Cost Index is available to me, costs for
highway construction increased by another 22%, an increase of $133,537,800
for a total project cost of $564,268,000 expressed in mid-1980 dollars.
The Hawaii State highway department currently projects a highly
optimistic completion date for H-3 of 1989 ÷ 3/ Every previous estimate
which the highway department made indicated at least nine years would be
necessary to complete construction of H-3 in North Halawa Valley. If
May 4, 1982
Page Two (2)
that is true, then completion would not be before mid-1991. Assuming, as
we all hope, that President Reagan will successfully slow down the rate of
inflation to as little as 8 percent per annum, based upon calculation used
by the Hawaii Department of Transportation in previous estimates, the cost
of the highway would escalate another sixty percent, adding an additional
$338.5 million to the cost of the highway for a total of $902.8 million. 5/
If inflation exceeds 8%, the cost will top one billion dollars. Since 1973
the average rate of inflation in the highway construction industry (as
measured by FHWA's Bid Price Index) has been 12.5% a year--a pace that
doubles cost every six years. 6/ If inflation continues at its historical
rate, one billion dollars may turn out to be a conservative estimate of the
cost of H-3.
A billion dollars is an unconscionable amount of money to spend to
construct a highway which will serve windward Oahu, a Honolulu bedroom
community with a population in 1975 of only 115,441 and with a projected
maximum population in the year 2000 of only 150,500. / A billion-dollar
highway to serve an increase in population of only 35,059 people must be
the worst cost/benefit ratio ever for a highway. It must be kept in mind
that Honolulu's trans-Ko olau highway demand is only a problem during peak
Need
hours for commuters. There are already two four-lane highways in use to
serve the windward side of Oahu and the Hawaii Department of Transporta-
tion's own traffic use studies indicate that the two existing highways will
not reach capacity until the year 2000. 8/ The U. S. Department of Trans-
portation in a paper entitled, FHWA 1981 Highway Legislation: Programs and
Revenue Options Discussion Paper #1, dated June 26, 1980, notes at Page 15
that, "Energy limitations and the high cost of highway construction make it
essential that careful consideration be given to the cost effectiveness of
adding new capacity to our existing systems in order to reduce congestion.
Traffic system management, increased auto occupancy, and better public
transportation services are, in many instances, more effective solutions to
the problem of handling increasing local peak period travel demand.
Hawaii is a state in which the Democratic party has controlled the
legislature since 1954. William F. Quinn, a Republican who had been
appointed Governor of Hawaii by President Eisenhower, became the first
elected Governor of Hawaii after statehood. He was elected for one term in
1960. However, since 1964 the Democratic Party has also controlled the
governorship. As a result, the Democratic Party machine has had an iron
grip on the government of the State of Hawaii for a quarter of a century.
Today the Republican Party is less of a force than in any other state in
the union. Hawaii is the only state with no Republican Senators or
Congressmen. The Hawaii Democratic Party machine delivered the State of
Hawaii to Carter at the Democratic convention and even succeeded in deliver-
ing the popular and electoral vote to Carter in the presidential election
in spite of President Reagan's landslide victory everywhere else.
The 4(f) Statement which was required because the H-3 highway would
use land from a major park on the windward side of Oahu was approved on
November 21, 1980, by the outgoing Assistant Secretary of Transportation
May 4, 1982
Page Three (3)
for Policy and International Affairs (a Carter political appointee).
Subsequently the FHWA Administrator approved the environmental impact
\
statement (EIS) for the highway. On December 10, 1980, these approvals
were transmitted from the Washington, D.C. office of FHWA to the FHWA
Region 9 office in San Francisco. Although supposedly precluded from
approving the EIS until receipt of material from the Washington FHWA
office, it is instructive to note that the San Francisco office gave its
approval on December 10, 1980, even though that office could not yet have
received the material which was not even forwarded until that day by
Washington headquarters of FHWA. Moreover, on that same date (December 10,
1980) in Hawaii, the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation already
had its location and design approval application prepared and dated
December 10, 1980. Because the last location and design hearings for the
H-3 highway were held commencing December 12, 1977, unless location and
design approval was applied for before December 11, 1980, new location and
design hearings would have been required by DOT regulations (23 CFR § 790.5)
and the entire H-3 project would have had to be resubmitted to the Reagan
administration for its independent evaluation and approval. The "midnight
hour" approvals by the Carter administration are a patently obvious attempt
to prevent the Reagan administration from implementing its transportation
task force's recommendation that most of the unfinished remaining 2% to 4%
of the interstate system should be abandoned (with few exceptions) as being
far too costly for the limited service it would provide.
Although the Reagan administration has inherited the situation, it has
all the authority necessary to undo what the Carter administration has done
and force a re-examination of the project. Although normally not a matter
with which the Secretary of Transportation would be concerned, PS&E (Plans,
Specifications & Estimates) approval by the Department of Transportation is
necessary before work on the project can begin. Until PS&E approval is
received, the U. S. Department of Transportation is not contractually
obligated to the project.
All of the foregoing considerations are alarming because of the
incredible cost of the H-3 project and the apparent political shenanigans
invovled in its approval. However, even more alarming has been the dis-
covery that the highway is to be built in a location which will expose
motorists and workmen building the highway to serious, possibly lethal
hazards. The route of H-3 will be from an intersection with an existing
highway on the leeward side of Oahu through North Halawa Valley to the
Ko'olau Mountains via mile-long tunnels. The H-3 will emerge from the
tunnels onto the windward side at the rear of Haiku Valley. Occupying the
entire rear half of Haiku Valley is an Omega station which is operated by
the Coast Guard as part of a global navigation system. The Omega station
is an extremely high powered, very low frequency radio navigation system.
It consists of a valley span antenna system with six wire cables 7,200 feet
long which extend completely across the valley and which connect in the
center to a 1,200-foot long down lead which feeds the antenna with 135,000
watts of transmitter power. There is an antenna ground system consisting
of a dense network buried copper cables which radiate outward from the
May 4, 1982
Page Four (4)
transmitter building for a distance of 1,700 feet. Of the 135,000 watts of
power, approximately 125,000 watts of power is "lost". The final broadcast
power is only 10,000 watts. Most of the 125,000 watts which are lost are
radiated from the antenna to the ground system. H-3 is to be built on
viaducts above the antenna ground system and below the antennae. In other
words, the highway will be routed right between the antenna and ground
systems through which will be radiated most of the "lost" 125,000 watts of
power. This much power presents a hazard at two levels. First, there is
the danger of being exposed to massive radio waves, for a short period in
the case of a motorist to a very long period in the case of workmen who
will be working, constructing the required tunnels and viaducts for up to
ten years. Second, such a massive amount of radio power is "reconverted"
to electricity when it encounters a suitable conductor such as a metal car.
This electricity will be enough to cause a severe shock and could easily
ignite gasoline unless the individual and the car are grounded or insulated.
The rubber wheels of a car insulate the car but not in the case of accidents
and/or flat tires in the rain or even in dry weather when mechanical break-
downs require leaving one's car. To alleviate this serious shock and spark
hazard, they propose to build a webbing of copper cable 30 feet high and up
to a mile long on either side of the highway, leaving the metal roof of the
vehicles to absorb the electricity from above (which presents a problem for
convertibles and canvas topped military vehicles). Of course even if we
were to assume that the copper webbing will adequately shield motorists (at
least those in metal roofed vehicles) and if we were to also assume that
there will never be accidents which impact upon the sides of the viaduct,
nevertheless there remains the serious problem of prolonged exposure of
workmen to both the radiation and the shock hazard. Extensive material,
including medical studies, expert testimony and political documents un-
covered through years of investigation are attached. The H-3 case is the
longest and biggest environmental battle in Hawaii's history. This July 19,
1982 will mark the 10th anniversary of the lawsuit, the decision of the
latest round in Federal Court also included.
Although I represent the Plaintiffs in litigation to stop this highway,
I want to assure you that my opposition is based upon my sincere belief
that this highway is a waste of taxpayers' money. I invite you to check
the accuracy of what I have said. It is my hope that you may feel that
this is such a billion dollar boondogle that it warrants exposure to the
country.

FOOTNOTES
1/ Enclosed with this letter as Enclosure #1 is a copy
of page 37 from the final supplemental environmental impact
statement for the proposed North Halawa Valley alignment
of H-3 (hereinafter the NHVeis) which was approved on
December 10, 1980 by outgoing officials of the Carter
administration. The quoted costs were derived from that
page.
2/ The FHWA Construction Cost indexes utilized in calculating
current costs are attached as Enclosure #2.
3/ Enclosure #3 is page 38 of the NHVeis indicating
construction can begin within 12 months after removal of
legal restrictions and construction will require at least
six years thereafter for a total of seven years at the
earliest. At the present time trial is scheduled for
October 6, 1981. Therefore it is doubtful that construction
could start until late 1982 assuming the legal issues are
resolved in favor of building the highway.
4/ Enclosure #4 consists of two pages (23 and 24) from
the final 4 (f) statement which was prepared in 1976 for the
proposed Moanalua Valley route which they originally intended
to use. A 4 (f) statement is required whenever a highway will
use land of historic importance or public park land. The
purpose of a 4 (f) statement is to determine whether or not
there are feasible and prudent alternatives to the use of
such land. Enclosure #4 is from a comparison of the
Moanalua and North Halawa routes. The cost study assumed
a mid-1977 commencement of construction and estimated
completion for the North Halawa route would be mid-1987--
a ten-year period. This particular study assumed a longer
tunnel would be built so a slightly shorter construction
time should be assumed.
5/ Page 24 of Enclosure #4 contains a calculation of total
cost (escalated). This calculation is necessary because the
construction contracts will be entered into over the seven
to ten year construction period and not all at once. There-
fore allowances must be made for inflation. The table found
at page 24 of enclosure 4 indicates that the cost of the
North Halawa Valley route would escalate 59.66% ASSUMING
EIGHT PER CENT INFLATION. Obviously an assumption of only
8% inflation is very (perhaps unrealistically) conservative.
6/ Enclosure #5 is page 49 from the NHVeis indicating an
estimated 1975 population of 115,441.
FOOTNOTES
(continued)
7/ Enclosure #6 is page 15 from the NHVeis indicating
the Oahu General Plan projects the windward Oahu population
for the year 2000 at 150,500.
8/ Enclosure #7 consists of pages 1 and 31 from the
NHVeis, Vol. III, appendix B (Traffic Study) Page 1
shows that the traffic study is to predict use in the year
2000. Page 31 indicates that existing facilities will not
reach capacity until the year 2000 even if H-3 is not built.
9/ Enclosure #8 is a copy of page 15 of the cited
U.S. Department of Transportation Discussion Paper #1.
ENCLOSURE #1
COSTS
Costs for the North Halawa Valley alternatives including the
entire remaining portion of Interstate Route H-3 not yet con-
structed have been estimated on the basis of the preliminary
plans included with this Supplement. These costs are as
follows:
ROADWAY
TUNNELS
RIGHT-OF-WAY
TOTALS
TH-3
$308,381,000
$217,289,000
$
16,754,000

H-3
$242,201,000
$127,371,000
$ 16,580,000
$386,152,000
The estimated roadway costs are based on the latest construction
prices available for the year 1979 Costs for the tunnels were
estimated by using the 1975 bid price for the Red Hill Tunnel
of $40 million and pro-rating the cost of the North Halawa
tunnel based upon the additional length. The 1975 pro-
rated cost was then inflated by 40 percent to arrive at a
1977 construction cost. To this cost was added fixed costs
such as vent buildings, portals, interior finish, etc.
Future costs of the project Can probably be expected to increase,
based upon historical inflation Leends for the construction
industry. It is not expected that this inflation trend will
change during the period of this project.

Halawa Valley on September 2-4, 19/6. In a letter report Dr. Challenberger con-
chiled that the facility will pass through the best of the valley's bird population.
Dr. Shallenberger further indicated that while there is no evidence that elimination
of North Halawa Valley as a bird habitat would in itself lead to the extinction of
any bird species, the effect of disturbance in any one area must be considered in the
context of the curnulative effect of urbanization in conservation lands.
C. On August 20-24, 19/6 the Bishop Museum conducted on archaeological recorinais-
sance survey of North Halawa Valley. Fight authoological sites were located during
the survey. The State Historic Preservation Officer feels that before any evaluation of
the cultural resources of North Halawa Valley can be made that an intensive archaeo-
logical survey needs 10 be conducted to determine the location, significance, preservation
or research potential of archaeological resources.
d. This corridor is the longest corridor and is approximately 3,000 feet longer than
the recommended route through Moanalua Valley. Based on 1990 travel demand
as presented in the FIS (Vol. I, p. 12) this additional length of facility can result in
added energy consumption due 10 added vehicle-miles of travel. The added vehicle-
miles of liavel will be approximately 23,000 vehicle miles per day or 7 million vehicle-
miles annually. Using a figure of 20 miles per gallon, an additional 350,000 gallons
of gasoline will be consumed annually.
e. Because North Halawa Valley is narrow and meanders, six major cuts will be required.
These cuts will be from 200 feet to 800 fcet long and will be from 20 to 40 feet
high. The steepness of the valley walls will require that these cuts be artificially
retained (cribbing, retaining wall, shotcrete). Cuts of this size will result in permanent
scarring of the valley walls and will have an advers visual impact on the valley.
f. In Haiku Valley the U.S. Coast Guard operates a large communication facility which
is part of a worldwide navigation system for ships and aircraft. Part of the facility
consists of à very large ground antenna system. the air space over which must be
avoided. Therefore the Haiku tunnel portal and windward viaduct based on prior
negotiations with the U.S. Government must be on the same alignment as the recom-
mended alignment. Thus the North Halawa Valley route will require a tunne! approx
imately 9,500 feet long. In addition to a long tunnel, approximately two-thirds of
the facility in North Halawa Valley will be on viaduct averaging 50 feet in height.
Because of the time required for redesign and construction of the longer tunnels and
viaducts, this alternative will be very costly. For purposes of comparing the costs of
the North Halawa Valley alternative and the recommended alternative through Muanalua
Valley, a cost study was conducted. It was assumed that work 00 both alternatives will
commence in mid 1977.
For each alternative a 1976 dollar cost was determined. a
23
design/construct schedule was developed, and then using an assumed annual construction
just escalation factor of eight percent an escalated total project cost was determined

Koolau transportation will be severely impacted for five additional years. Congestion on
the existing facilities (Pali and I ikelike) will worsen, and the life styles of 11.1; residents
of windward Oahu and thuse living along Pali and I itelike Eglaways will be changed.
h. The tunnel for the North Halawa Valley route will require the removal and di postl
of 1.5 million cubic yards of tunnel muck, which is 500,000 cubic yards more than
that for the recommended route (Red Hill and Trans-Koolau tunnels). Approxi-
mately one million cubic yards of the tunnel muck could be used as fill to build up
the Kaneohe Interchange and the Haiku Portal area. Disposal of the remaining 500,000
cubic yards of tunnel muck will be a problem since land fill disposal sites are becoming
scarce on Oahu, and the cost of disposing of the tunnel much in the GUAND will 1... very

i. The present General Plan shows TH-3 proceeding up South Halawa Valley from the
Halawa Interchange. All existing and planned development at the mouth of the
Halawa Valleys has recognized this fact (see Figure 42). Because of this the North
Halawa Valley corridor will impact the State's Animal Quarantine Station, the rock
quarry, the plant development center, and the City's new bus maintenance facility.
The plant development center will be totally displaced, the quarry's administration
building will be displaced. and storage area for approximately 40 buses will be lost
to the City during construction of TH-3. The quarantine station will lose its sewage
plant, necropsy building. 500 Kennels, and the new Animal Industry Administration
building. The impact on the quarantine station and quarry will be temporary since
the facilities to be removed can be rebuilt on adjacent land.
6. Increasing the Capacity of an Existing Trans-Koolau Facility
An alternative was considered which would increase the capacity of an existing trans-
Koolau facility while minimizing the disruption to the people living along the facility.
This alternative is the construction of a two-lane reversible viaduct in the median of

(or impossible) 10 even generalize about long-range goals for
the other eight areas.
The tabulation of the population objectives has provided the
basis for decisions regarding the remaining eight areas of
concern, including that area dealing with transportation and
utilities.
The broadly stated objective of the General Plan for transporta-
tion is:
"To create a transportation system which will enable
people and goods to move safely, efficiently, and at a
reasonable cost; will serve all people, including the
poor, the olderly and the physically bandicapped; and
will offer a variety of attract ion and convenient modes
of travel."
This broad objective is subdivided into various policy state-
ments which deal with more specific areas of concern. Policy
4 expresses concern for the transportation needs of the Ewa
and windward communities:
"Improve transportation facilities and services
in the Ewa corridor and in the trans-Koolau
corridors to meet the needs of Ewa and windward
communities.
"
In order to effectively plan service requirements, the General
Plan projects the windward Oahu population for the year 2000
at 150,500

I. INTRODUCTION
Several years have clapsed since the original travel demand analysis
was conducted for the Interstate Route H-3 project. During these years
there have been'changes in travel habits as reflected by new traffic data
that are available. In addition, a new Onhu General Plan was officially
adopted in carly 1977.
In view of the above, a study was commissioned for the purpose of devel-
oping updated travel demand foreeasts for the Interntate 11-3 Alternatives
Analysis and to provide various technical data for the air quality and
noise analysis elements of the supplemental draft envirommental impact
statement. The results of this study and the procedures used to develop
them are documented in the following pages of this report.
SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work for this study included the preparation of the necessary
data for four alternative plans. These alternatives are:
Alternative 1 - TH-3 through North Halawa Valley with four lanes
for autos and a two-lane busway in the median.
Alternative 2 - H-3 through North Halawa Valley with four lanes for
autos supplemented by a one-lane bus facility on
Likelike Highway.
Alternative 3 - Two-lane busway facility through North Ilalawa
Valley with no auto lanes.
Alternative 4 - Do nothing.
Traffic and transit patronage was prepared for the Oahu General Plan
year of 2000 for each alternative. The data necessary for the EIS was
developed for existing conditions, the estimated opening year of the

should we, instead, change our criteria for defining a deficiency to account for
normal depreciation of the highway facility? Since the starting point for
estimating needs is 11 set of criteria which identifies what is unacceptable, it is
easy to see that the cost of future needs is very sensitive to what we are willing to
accept. Currently, these criteria are based on decisions which balance engineering
concerns of safety, efficiency, etc., with cost construints. It may be that these
criteria should be reexamined in light of current economic conditions and energy
concerns.
Specifically related to the issue of criteria for making highway improvements
is the question of how much congestion we will accept. Improvements to the
highway plant which provide new or additional capacity are the most expensive,
particularly in urbanized arcas where right-of-way costs are high both in terms of
dollars and social impact. Throughout the Inte 1950's and 1900's, the practice of
adding highway capacity to accommedate peak period demand accounted for well
over one-half of all highway capital improvement dollars in urban areas. While this
trend has been changing throughout the 70's, peak period demand and the resulting
congestion is still viewed as an unsatisfactory operating characteristic.
Energy limitations and the high cost of highway construction make it essential
that careful consideration be given to the cost-effeetiveness of adding new
capacity to our existing systems in order to reduce congestion. Traffic system
management, increased auto occupancy, and better public transportation service
are, in many instances, more effective solutions to the problem of handling
increasing local pcsk period travel demand. In the long run, a decision must be
made between investment in new highway capacity to accommodate single-
occupant work trips or investment in highway improvements which will rehabilitate
the systems and keep them safe.
Section I describes the changes in highway conditions and usage, investment
patterns, and the impacts of these changes. Supporting data were furnished by the
States through the Highway Program Monitoring System (HPMS), a data system
that samples conditions and performance on the system nationwide and reports
investments on these roads. Greater detail will be provided in the 1980 biennial
report to Congress, "The Status of the Nation's Highways: Conditions and
Performance," now in preparation.

Dear Pen,
The Alaska Republican Congressional Delegation strongly
recommends Mr. Terrance J. Brown, Administrative Assistant
to Congressman Don Young, for appointment as the Associate
Deputy Administrator in the Veterans Administration. Mr. Brown
has our full support, as he possesses both the management
experience and congressional background for this key policy
position.
Terry has many attributes that we think will be beneficial
to President Reagan and the Veterans Administration. First,
Terry worked hard on President Reagan's campaign to capture
the vote of American Indians.
When he worked in the Executive Branch, Terry acquired
experience in the field as well as Washington, D.C. In addition
to his experience working in the government, Mr. Brown is a
Vietnam veteran with combat service during the Asian conflict
in 1967 and 1968.
We are confident that Mr. Brown will serve this Administration
and the VA well, if given the opportunity. For these reasons,
we urge you to make a timely decision and sclect Mr. Brown as
the Associate Deputy Administrator for the Veterans Administration.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Trank H Molanbi

Sincerely,

Memorandum
To:
Mr. Paul Russo
Special Assistant to the President
for Political Affairs
From:
Terrance J. Brown
Subject: Chronology of Campaign Events and Background Information --
Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs, Department of
the Interior
June-November 1980 -- Worked on Reagan advance contingent meeting
with Indian leaders to form Indians for Reagan/Bush.
July-November 1980 -- Worked on issues and prepared briefs and
talking papers for GOP National Headquarters.
August-October 1980 -- Worked on issue papers for the Ambassador
and Governor for their scheduled campaign trips to Northwest,
Midwest, and West Coast.
October 26, 1980 -- Briefed Mr. Anderson and Mr. J. Brady in Sioux
Falls, South Dakota for Governor Reagan meeting with National
Indian leaders.
October-December 1980 -- Asked for and received conservative and
moderate House and Senate GOP support.
December 1980 -- Asked for and received recommendations for the
position of Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs from
Annelise Anderson and the Executive Committee, Western States
GOP caucus.
December 1980-January 1981 -- Asked for and received tribal
government support from over 171 tribes across the U.S.
?
January 12-16, 1981 -- Word is passed that Martin Seneca, attorney
consultant, says Assistant Secretary will be Ken Smith and Smith
will bring in old line BIA employees (laFollett Butler and
John Artichoker) to keep lid on BIA and Indians, while Marlin
Seneca (Representing Indian tribes to government) will be
retained as consultant to BIA as compensation for "policy
guidance" to Ken Smith. (Note: This was before Administration
even took office)
January 21, 1981 -- Ken Smith is interviewed by the Secretary.
January 26, 1981 -- I am interviewed by the Secretary. Secretary
makes point of telling no there will De only 01.0 (1) Deputy,
no Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
January 28, 1981 -- Secretary offers me the Deputy Assistant
Secretary job. Secretary tells me he nominated Ken Smith
for Assistant Secretary and urges me to take Deputy job.
January 30, 1981 --- I called Smith to tell him 1 accepted
Secretary's offer of Deputy Assistant Secretary. Smith tells
BE he will select own man, and I may not be his choice.
February 6, 1981 -- Executive Assistant to Secretary called me
to tell me Secretary will recommend to Ken Smith that he
consider me for position of Deputy Assistant Secretary. I
replied that was not the agreement.
CONCLUSION
Consideration for the Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs
should be made on my national experience in both the executive
and legislative branches of the Government, as well as my
extensive knowledge of national Indian affairs. Moreover, I am
a national Republican who actively worked for the election of
the President.
This seems to be another clear case of a known Reagan loyalist
VS a non-Reagan loyalist. The case should be decided on professional
experience and demonstrated political loyalty. No other criteria
should be considered.

History of the
Western States Political Caucus
Created from common support for Ronald Reagan
and in recognition of a need to coalesce the separate
political strengths of 11 western states, the Western
States Politcal Caucus was formed at Kansas City in
July, 1976.
During 1976-1979, the Caucus met quarterly to
strengthen its Reagan base and to monitor and
develop issues common to the West, including public
lands, water and energy.
In 1979-1980, the Caucus focused its attention and
resources on the election of President Ronald Reagan.
In 1976, these 11 western states delivered 201 out of
264 delegate votes to Kansas City for Governor
Reagan. In 1980, these 11 western states delivered 263
voted out of 264 delegate votes to Detroit for the
Reagan / Bush team.
At a meeting in Denver in December 1980, the Caucus
expanded to 13 states, adding North Dakota and
South Dakota, whose size, location and interests are
in concert with those of the original 11 states.
The Western States Political Caucus plans to continue
its efforts in pursuit of land, energy and water policies
that are in the best interests of both the economy and
well-being of the people in these western states
throughout President Reagan's Administration and the
successive Republican administrations.
