THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON KB February 3, 1988 MEMORANDUM FOR SENATOR BAKER FROM: JOHN C. TUCK Jet SUBJECT: Senator Pepper's request concerning Visit of Mr. Voss The NSC staff followed-up on your conversation with Senator Pepper. They informed Senator Pepper that no White House reception would be held for Mr. Voss because he had been head of the Latvian Communist Party. Such a reception would infuriate American Latvians in this country. An attempt was made to arrange a White House VIP tour for Mr. Voss, but we were unable to arrange a tour since the only day that Mr. Voss was available tours were not given due to the Mubarak visit. Ambassador Kampelman indicated that he was willing to meet with Mr. Voss and Mr. Voss was supposed to come with the Soviet Politbureau Delegation but he did not attend the meeting.

In your absence he asked to be connected with the person who was handling the IPU matter. General Powell was out, and his office recommended he speak with Fritz Ermarth (who prepared the Powell memo to you). Mr. Ermarth spoke with Congressman Pepper. SSS CONFIDENTIAL THE WHITE HOUSE CONFIDENTIAL 0534 WASHINGTON January 25, 1988 MEMORANDUM FOR THE CHIEF OF STAFF FROM: COLIN L. POWELL IS SUBJECT: Visiting Soviet IPU Delegation We have learned from the State Department that the Soviet Parliamentary delegation--members of the USSR Supreme Soviet-- will be headed by August Voss, former First Secretary of the Communist Party of Latvia. He is a hated figure among Americans of Latvian descent, indeed among all Baltic Americans, who see him as a living symbol of the continuing Soviet occupation of their nations. Under the circumstances, it would be politically unwise for this delegation to meet with any White House official, let alone the President. We recommend that the delegation be given the standard VIP tour of the White House afforded to special Congressional guests. When this is scheduled, please have your office advise us, as we would like to have a Russian-speaking NSC officer accompany the group on the tour. We also recommend that you personally telephone Congressman Pepper to alert him to the political sensitivities involved in this matter. Congressman Pepper may be unaware of Voss' previous incarnation and the political blight it represents here.
