to you the majestic beauty and surging spirit of this original master-
piece from the Edward Marshall Boehm Studios. Burnished gold exquis-
itely hand painted over the purest white bisque porcelain combines to

authenticity, the Official Seal of the 50th American Presidential Inau-
gural, and the signatures of President Ronald Reagan and Vice President
George Bush.
A masterpiece to be treasured by you and your family down through the
years, its beauty, strength and spirit will always evoke for you a fond
recollection of these years, years which you have helped create and in
which you share
the Reagan Years. And particularly, it will com-
memorate for you those most recent events for Party and President --
the rallying convention, the stirring campaign with its overwhelming
victory, culminating in this occasion of unparalleled historical signi-
ficance, the 50th American Presidential Inauguration.
We think you will agree, the lifelike beauty and masterpiece quality of
this 24 kt. pure gold and porcelain study of the American sovereign
symbol, the proud, brave eagle, symbolizes the strong America in which
we take pride.

SUBJECT:
Guidelines - 1985 Presidential Inauguration
Support by the Department of Defense
As you are aware, we have been meeting with the Department of
Defense in order to work out guidelines governing the support
that the DOD can appropriately provide to the Committee.
Attached is a copy of these guidelines, which have been
implemented previously and are now reduced to writing.
We have had several meetings with the GAO as we formulated these
guidelines, and I believe they will acknowledge this to be a good
faith effort to accommodate the concerns they expressed about the
1981 Inaugural, in the absence of any legislative action.
Attachment
1985 PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION
SUPPORT BY THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
This memorandum provides guidance regarding inaugural
support activities by Department of Defense civilian and
military personnel. The inauguration of the President is a
non-partisan event that symbolizes the enduring values of
our democratic system of government. It is planned by the
Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) and the Joint Con-
gressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC),
committees with no political function and no mission other
than the planning and execution of the inaugural.
The inauguration of the President has a unique meaning
to the Armed Forces since it represents a change or
continuation of command for the Commander-in-Chief.
Additionally, it is an event rich in protocol and
ceremonies -- areas in which the military has significant
expertise. The Department, therefore, has traditionally
provided a wide range of support to the PIC and the JCCIC in
connection with the various inaugural activities. The Armed
Forces Inaugural Committee (AFIC) plans, coordinates, and
provides appropriate military support requested by the PIC
and JCCIC. The AFIC is formed prior to the election to
- 2 -
begin initial inaugural planning in an apolitical fashion
and to develop a staff well versed in the full scope of
inaugural requirements.
While it is impossible to codify every aspect of the
support that may appropriately be rendered by the Department,
given the complexity surrounding the planning and operation
of the activities comprising the inaugural, the following
guidelines attempt to deal with the most prominent areas in
which military support may be rendered. Questions concern-
ing military support that are not readily covered by these
guidelines should be referred to PIC counsel, and to
Headquarters, Department of the Army and the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Public Affairs) for resolution.
These guidelines are necessary because of the failure
of the Congress to respond to a 1983 opinion of the
Comptroller General concerning military assistance for
inaugural activities. That opinion concluded with a
recommendation that Congress review such assistance and
amend existing law either to conform with past practice
known to and acquiesced in by Congress or expressly to
prohibit practices for which it was difficult to ascertain
specific statutory authority. Congress did neither,
creating uncertainty with respect to what assistance was
permitted and what was not. These guidelines represent a
good faith effort to provide the necessary guidance.

It is intended that the guidelines will result in
significantly reduced military assistance during the
Inaugural celebration, compared with the 1981 Inaugural
(which antedated, of course, the 1983 opinion).
The guidelines anticipate limited military assistance.
For example, when the military is authorized to coordinate
the movement of groups participating in the parade, it is
not intended that military transportation be used to move
the group. Further, although military personnel may
facilitate the orderly formation and progress of the parade,
it is not intended that the military take charge of planning
the parade. The role for the military recognized in the
guidelines is one of limited assistance and support fully
consistent with past practice and the special significance
the inaugural holds for the military as the swearing-in of
the Commander-in-Chief.
TRANSPORTATION
PIC cars driven by military personnel may be used for
official purposes only and only by PIC, JCCIC, and AFIC
members, and "Designated Inaugural Participants." The term
"official purposes" means Inaugural Committee business. For
example, transportation provided to and from Inaugural balls
will be provided only to those qualified passengers who are
working at the balls.
- 4 -
Transportation on shall not be provided for purely
personal purposes. Transportation from residence to work
shall be provided only with the approval of the PIC
Chairman. Approval shall be given only when inaugural
responsibilities could not be met in the absence of such
transportation.
"Designated Inaugural Participants" are those
individuals who actually have a role in the official
Inaugural events and have been designated by the PIC
Chairman. Governors shall be considered Designated
Inaugural Participants.
MILITARY AIDES
Military Aides will be provided to assist members of
the First and Second Families and the Designated Inaugural
Participants to meet their Inaugural schedules and responsi-
bilities.
MILITARY COORDINATORS
Members of the military may be assigned to coordinate
the arrival and movement within the metropolitan area of the
various groups participating in the inaugural events.
CEREMONIAL UNITS
Members of the military will be assigned to coordinate
the arrival, movement and departure of the President and/or
- 5 -
the Vice President at the various inaugural events. These
members of the military will also provide assistance to
ensure the orderly conduct of events at which the President
and/or Vice President are scheduled to appear. They will
not be used for routine administrative duties such as ticket
taking, parking cars, etc.
MEDICAL SUPPORT
Medical units with appropriate personnel and supplies
may be provided at official Inaugural events and at the
Inaugural balls. Additionally, an aid station will provide
emergency minor treatment and supplies for job related
injuries and illnesses of the PIC staff.
USHERS
Military personnel may be used as ushers only at the
actual public swearing-in ceremony and at the Presidential
Reviewing Stand.
INAUGURAL PARADE
Military units will monitor and coordinate the parade
for safety purposes, and will be used along the parade
route. Security issues are to be directed to the Secret
Service and Federal Bureau of Investigation. Military
marching units may be authorized to participate in the
parade. Military drivers, vehicles and equipment may be
approved for use in the parade.

PUBLIC RELATIONS
The military may provide public relations support
consistent with the recording of its own role in the in-
augural activities and with the recording of the ceremonies
surrounding the swearing-in of the Commander-in-Chief.
EQUIPMENT
Military equipment, including communications equipment,
may be used as needed by the AFIC in the discharge of its
responsibilities. Technical support and equipment, such as
2-way radios, cellular phones and beepers, may be provided
to the PIC thru GSA if requested.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND LIAISON
Military personnel may serve as members of the PIC
staff to advise, assist, and inform on issues concerning
military support of the inauguration. AFIC personnel may
also perform financial review functions with respect to the
activities of the PIC and AFIC. Military personnel may not
be used by the PIC to perform routine administrative duties
of the PIC, but assignment of military personnel to office
functions such as copying and computer systems and systems
analysis is authorized when such assignment provides a cost
savings or more efficient operation to AFIC itself.
