Baker, Jr. Chief of Staff to the President The Honorable Robert F. Corrigan 5304 Saratoga Avenue Chevy Chase, MD 20815 HHB/SW/WJB/emuf2 HHB-2 Robert Foster Corrigan 5304 Saratoga Avenue Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815 HHB-2 March 13, 1987 Honorable Howard Baker Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D. C. 20500 Dear Senator Baker: I write, to make a suggestion, as an admirer and well-wisher who has twice voted for President Reagan and as a citizen who is delighted with your appointment and the promise it gives of getting the government back on track. Even though my maternal grandmother's maiden name was Regan, giving me I guess as much Regan blood as your predecessor, I must confess I grew not to admire Donald Regan's style. On account of his name I wanted of course to give him the benefit of the doubt; but I began to become disenchanted early on because of the way he responded to questions about his switching jobs with James Baker. Instead of in- sisting it was a presidential decision, taken after due deliberation, he answered in effect it was entirely his idea, thereby contributing to the unfortunate image of a "hands off" president. Later I got sick of seeing Mr. Regan in practically every photograph with the President, the unseemly peak being one showing the Chief of Staff interjecting himself behind and between the two principals on a sofa at Reykjavik. Incidentally I am a former deputy chief of protocol of the United States; and I can see no need for, and can provide arguments against, the Chief of Staff's being present on most ceremonial occasions involving the President. Being always there at such events tends to cast the President's chief adviser and manager in the role of a mere aide de camp, having in my opinion the consequence of degrading rather than enhancing his position. Let the protocol people and such, and the secretary of state when indicated, accompany the President to greet and bid adieu to foreign heads of government; and let assist- ants and specialists, political and otherwise, travel with the chief executive on numerous trips. The Chief of Staff's time for sorting out and wrestling with substant- ive issues of towering importance is much too valuable to be wasted on unnecessary activities. With every good wish for success to you and the President and with expressions of high regard, Dear Arriber don Respectfully, AB Robert F. Corrigan Ambassador - Retired April 1, 1987 Dear Judge Maguire: Thank you for your recent note concerning my appointment as White House Chief of Staff. I appreciate your support and confidence, and I look forward to working with President Reagan to complete the agenda he began in his election in 1980. With my best wishes, Sincerely, Howard H.

Maguire District Judge 115 Hawkins Avenue Somerset, KY 42501 HHB/SW/WJB/emuf2 HHB-2 Judge Walter Flippin Maguire 115 Hawkins Avenue Somerset, Kentucky 42501 Telephone (606) 678-4961 Home 679-7462 Office March 20, 1987 HHB-2. Senator Howard Baker Chief of Staff White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Senator: May I take this opportunity to congratulate you on being appointed Chief of Staff for our outstanding President, Ronald Reagan. Having had the opportunity to follow your career, meet you personally and correspond with you on several occasions and being well acquainted with several people in this area who are close personal friends of yours, may I say that it is indeed encouraging to know that we have a man and a public servant of your caliber in such a crucial position. I know that I need not tell you that, contrary to the persistent efforts of a major segment of the media, President Reagan enjoys the support and affection of a vast majority of the American people. I would just go on to say that it is my hope that, contrary to your announced intentions, you will find yourself squarely in the next race for the Republican nomination for the presidency. While I understand that you do not wish to utilize your important position as leverage for that undertaking, I would sincerely urge that you continue to evaluate where and how you may be of the greatest service to your nation. I am confident of what the answer to that question is and I wish you the very best and God speed as you do your part to keep our great country on a course of sound fiscal policy and related opportunities for all Americans.

C. 20002 Dear Howard: Jane and I have just returned from a month's tour of South America and I hasten to get a note off to you congratulating you on your appointment as Chief of Staff by our President. We received the news through the newspapers in Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro and all of the articles were most complimentary and thought the President had made a "ten-strike." Having known both your father and father-in- law, and being fully aware of the outstanding record that you made in the Senate of the United States, I could not be more pleased with the President's choice. I know the kind of a job that you are capable of doing. I do not know how this fits in with your long range plans but I am sure that you are making a real sacrifice to step into the breech at this time. I personally want to thank you on behalf of all the Republican Party and the people of the United States for making this sacri- fice for the benefit of all of us. God bless you and give you the strength and courage to carry out this most important job. With very best wishes, Your friend, John Jack B.

I know I echo the sentiment of a great many of your friends and supporters in expressing my regret that this step will preclude your becoming an active candidate for the nomination next year. As in 1980, it appears that my candidate will not be among those who are in the field as the delegate selection process progresses. It is reassuring, however, to know that the one who is best qualified to fill that office in 1989 will be helping to assure the success of this President who has done so much to give the nation a sense of pride, purpose and direction. None of us can predict the future and the time and circumstances that will bring new opportunities for your service to the country. When we last spoke several months ago about your future plans you said "keep your powder dry." I intend to continue to follow that advice. With sincere appreciation and warmest good wishes.

Dear Howard: How proud and delighted I was that you accepted your appointment as Chief of Staff. There is no one more qualified, especially at this time that our President needs your leadership experience, your moral judgment and expertise. I am sure that this has been a personal sacrifice on your part, but can only hope that the rewards the nation will reap, will be compensated by personal rewards to you. How many years has it been, Howard, that we have been so involved in the United States Senate Youth Program three times you have been Co-Chairman and I don't remember any years that you did not participate as a speaker to the youth of our country, at Senate Youth until this past year and we missed you. You may not have had the opportunity to peruse the Silver Anniversary Annual that was distributed this past January, but I do hope you enjoy it. It is difficult to believe that Senate Youth is 25 years old. You are well represented throughout the Annual, as you should be, being such an integral part of the Program. I send my best wishes and prayers for your efforts to restore integrity and stability to this administration and I know that I am only one in the list of millions who have responded to you in respect to this challenge you have undertaken.
