Dear Mr. Deaver:
You want the President to be re-elected.
I want the President to be re-elected.
The enclosed reprint of my column sug-
gests one rebuttal to Mr. Mondale's pro-
gram to tax the corporations.
Simply reiterating in the debates that
it's the people who pay taxes, not the
corporations will keep Mondale off balance
during the entire debates.
If you have any doubts about the correct-
ness of my statements in the column,
check with Milton Friedman or any other
economists who know what they're talk-
ing about.

Dear Mr. Kornblit:
I would love "to save an old history teacher's job" -
but, I'm afraid I will not be able to visit New
Jersey this fall to talk with your students.
As you can well imagine, the President's schedule
between now and Election Day is extremely heavy.
I must be available to accompany him on his many
travels, so cannot arrange for any of my own.
I am honored, though, that you should ask me to
speak to your students at this important time, and
I hope that you and they will continue your ob-
vious interest in our election process. How im-
portant it is to instill in our young people this
desire to be knowledgeable about the political
system and the candidates.
Thank you for your kind invitation.

Dear Kay:
Thank you for your support of Administration policy to reduce
the deficit. Many of the points raised in your letter of
August 24 are consistent with current Administration
positions. Specifically:
1. Excessive Spending by Congress: As a constraint on the
profligate spending habit of Congress the Administration
supports a constitutional amendment to prevent actual
federal expenditures from exceeding planned receipts.
2. Economic Growth: The Administration has always placed
the goal of economic growth as a high priority and
remains committed to pursuing policies that will
encourage long-term economic growth as a principle means
of revenue enhancement in future years.
3. Export Promotion: The Administration believes that an
open international market is the best means to promote
our own exports. This involves negotiating in foreign
markets to make them more open to American goods, as well
as encouraging American businessmen to improve their
international marketing skills. We must remember,
however, that if we are to expect foreign markets to be
open for American goods we must keep our markets open to
foreign goods.
You also mentioned an interesting idea for arranging low-cost
financing for the mortgage market with foreign allies like
Japan and Saudi Arabia. Although cooperation with our allies
around the world is being pursued on many fronts, the
Administration currently has no plans to seek low interest
loans from these countries to subsidize residential
construction.
Thanks again for your ideas on debt reduction.
Sincerely,
hime

Dear Mike:
I was over in Guam recently and had dinner with Commodore
Dale Hagen and his wife at Nimitz House where President
Reagan stayed on his recent Guam visit. They were so
pleased at the thank you letter and the jar of jelly bellies
that they received from the President and Mrs. Reagan, as
well as the picture of the four of them together.
The young Navy man who acts as their chef and house adminis-
trator was, of course, there that night also. They were
explaining that when you and the advance team came in and,
of course, brought all of the President's own people, that
you were rather taken with the young man's personality and
helpfulness and suggested that he also help out in the house
in addition to the President's regular staff during the
President's visit. It seems that a picture was taken of him
with the President as they were all lined up outside of the
house at the President's departure. Commodore and Mrs.
Hagen and the young man are so hopeful that he can receive a
copy of the picture. His name and address is:
Dominador A. Dela Cruz
4 Flag Circle, Nimitz House
FPO San Francisco, CA 96330.
He is a very pleasant young man and I know it would be of
the highest personal thrill to him to have one. It is
possible that it was a three person photo which would have
included the President, Dominador, and Commander Ken Simpkins
who is Commodore Hagen's top staff. If it would be possible
to pull out the photo and send it, I, too, would be deeply
appreciative. I work closely with all of the Military out
here and will have the pleasure of entertaining Admiral
W. J. Crowe, USN, Commander in Chief, Pacific, on September
28th in my home.

My personal goal is to work to bring peace to all peoples
of earth, with hope for our youth and all children being born,
especially our own native peoples.
I'm 60 years of age, a homemaker from mid-America. My
philosophy was made explicit in two small books, written and
given to friends, family, and to government officials and repre-
sentatives (Yarn called "common sense" by Al Quie in 1977).
Facts about my life are stated in brief in the enclosed bio-
graphical sketch.
My husband, the good physician who plans to retire from his
Mayo Clinic practise next March, has brought friends into our
lives from all parts of the country. Such a friend, now deceased,
worked during her lifetime for "World Peace Through Law". Law,
however, is superceded by love. The title of her biography,
"Not by Might: Memoirs", says it all.
I have no investments save our children, home and land, and
few debts. My health is reasonably good (well, my husband is an
exceptionally fine doctor - among his teachers was Loyal Davis in
the early '40s!). As for appearance, I've become accustomed to
being as bald as the man in the moon - a fact well-hidden by wigs.
Besides the good fortune of Christian parents, I grew up
in a community where release time for religious education was an
accepted practise. My "Wednesday School" (1/2 day) teachers had
considerable influence in my life, as did many others.
The only request I have is to be given an opportunity to
work with my Indian friend, Charlie Deegan, who is a proven
problem-solver, par excellence.
If you are interested in my application, I'm prepared to
answer all questions and would be available for an interview at
any time. Whether I'm capable enough for the job is up to you!
Respectfully submitted,

Conferences. I understand that USDA staff and Roundtable
officials are discussing our possible support and involvement
in the forthcoming international agricultural conference at
Geneva in 1985. Necessarily, we expect to participate in the
1985 conference and the meetings that will precede it.
Thank you again for your thoughts on this matter.
Sincerely,
Wiche
