SUBJECT:
SEQUOIA
Former Deputy Under Secretary of the Navy Robert Forneau
contacted my office recently to verify a call he received
from the RNC. Mr. Forneau had been asked to join a group of
individuals from the private sector in raising $2.5 million
to buy the SEQUOIA and donate it to the White House. He
understood that "The White House" agreed to accpt the yacht
as a gift. When informed that the Military Office had no
knowledge of this, Mr. Forneau said it confirmed his doubts
and he would ignore the call from the RNC. He did, however,
volunteer his services should they be needed (phone: 374-7242).
I thought you should be advised that this is the second rumor
I have heard since the election about SEQUOIA's return to
Presidential service.
As with the "Air Force One replacement" issue, I recommend you
notify the senior staff of our intentions regarding the SEQUOIA.

A 600-amp fuse in the circuit supporting the projection room

SUBJECT:
Air Force One Replacement
The cost estimate ($500 million for two aircraft) in our November
26 memo was provided by Secretary Orr. Further research
indicates a range of $320 - $387 million may be closer to the
real price. These estimates relate only to the B747SP.
The reason these aircraft are much more expensive than commercial
counterparts is the extensive modifications for Presidential use,
in particular, communications and survivability features for the
Commander in Chief.
Further refinement of cost estimates would require contact with
Boeing and McDonald Douglas. I would caution that all aircraft
figures will be unreliable. Military aircraft costs depend on
what is included and how badly the manufacturer wants to make the
sale. In any event, we have not asked for bids. To do so would
be tantamount to announcing publicly that we intend to replace
Air Force One.

Military Aides to the President
Attached are the biographies and photographs of the
replacement military aides. We interviewed twenty-eight
of the best officers in the services and chose three
top-notch officers.
Attached is a training syllabus in which all of the
aides will participate prior to assuming a full duty
status. The training begins in mid-June with a full-
time, two week Disaster Preparedness Course and continues
throughout July. It is the first time we have ever
institutionalized the aide's training. I believe it
is important to have all of the aides fully prepared
prior to August 1st, well before the campaign.
MAJOR ROBERT R. IVANY, UNITED STATES ARMY
Major Robert R. Ivany was born in Wels, Austria in February 1947. The
Ivany family had fled there from Hungary in 1944 and eventually
emigrated to the United States in 1950. Major Ivany was raised in
Cleveland, Ohio where he graduated from St. Ignatius High School in
1965. He entered the United States Military Academy and was
commissioned as a Second Lieutenant of Armor upon graduation in 1969.
Major Ivany initially served as a tank platoon leader and armored
cavalry troop commander with the 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment at Ft.
Lewis, Washington. In 1971 he was posted to the Republic of Vietnam
where he commanded a cavalry troop. During his tour, Major Ivany was
wounded in action and decorated for valor. After service in Vietnam,
and subsequent tours in the United States, he married the former
Marianne O'Donnell from Grafton, Ohio.
Major Ivany and his bride then attended the University of Wisconsin,
Madison where he studied Modern European History in preparation for a
teaching assignment with the History Department at West Point. The
three year assignment at the Academy also allowed Major Ivany to coach
the Junior Varsity Army football team and to complete his doctoral
dissertation for which he received his Ph. in 1980. Following the
tenure at West Point, the family moved to the Federal Republic of
Germany for a three year stay with the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment
along the East-West German border.
In 1982, the Ivanys returned to the United States to attend the
Command & General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. A year
later, they moved to the Washington, D.C area where Major Ivany became
a staff officer in the War Plans Division, Strategy, Plans and Policy
Directorate of the Army Staff.
Major Ivany's awards include two Bronze Star Medals, the Meritorious
Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters,
the Purple Heart and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Gold Star.
Marianne Ivany graduated from Marquette University in 1974 and enjoys
playing the flute, drama and singing. The Ivany children include
Christoper (8), Mark (6), Julianne (2 1/2) and Brian (8 months).

MEMORANDUM FOR MICHAEL K. DEAVER
E.V.71
FROM
EDWARD V. HICKEY, JR.
SUBJECT
Estimate of Costs For Live Flag Pageant
on the South Lawn
The estimated costs for moving 10,000 troops to the White
House on June 14th lies somewhere between $2.1 and $2.4 million,
depending on the availability and mixture of air/ground trans-
portation. The figures assume the transportation of local
and out of town troops to Washington on 13 June, overnight for
out of town troops, rehearsal, performance and immediate
return to bases as far from Washington as Fort Bragg, North
Carolina.
More significant than the cost, it is simply impossible
to plan, staff, and execute such a movement to Washington in
in the time remaining prior to 14 June.
o a movement of troops of this magnitude is unprecented
with the possible exception of the 1968 riots and the
early years of the Civil War. The exercise would be
tantamount to wartime mobilizaion from a logistical
point of view with an attendant burden to the civil
population, i.e. transportation tie-ups, sanitation,
accomodations and police costs, etc.
I strongly recommend you consider civilian options.

SUBJECT:
Proposed Presentation of Medal of Honor to MSG
William J. Crawford (USA, Retired)
Senator William Armstrong of Colorado has requested that the
President present the Medal of Honor to MSG Crawford in conjunc-
tion with USAFA Graduation on 30 May 1984 (See attachments).
Crawford was awarded the MOH in July 1944 for actions in Italy
with the 36th Division in September 1943. He was carried as
missing for several months and subsequently was identified as a
POW at Stalag 2B in Northeast Germany. In July 1944, MG Terry
Allen presented the MOH to MSG Crawford's father in a military
ceremony at Camp Carson, Colorado. The medal was never formally
presented to MSG Crawford after his repatriation in 1945.
The intent of the Army Regulation regarding MOH presentations to
living recipients is that the President, the Vice President or,
in rare instances, "his designated representative" present the
medal to the awardee in a ceremony in the White House. This
convention was first formally established by President Theodore
Roosevelt in 1905.
This particular initiative is not Crawford's, but rather reflects
the efforts of a local Kiwanis Club Chapter in Colorado Springs
and Senator Armstrong. I spoke with MSG Crawford today. He does
not wish to be portrayed as pushing for the presentation for
personal reasons, but would go along with a presentation tied to
the USAFA graduation ceremony because of his relationship to the
USAFA (he worked there 10 years as a custodian) and the idea that
it might serve as a stimulant to the graduating cadets. If faced
with a choice of a White House ceremony or a USAFA ceremony, he
strongly prefers the later.
We have established that Crawford won the MOH and that it was
never formally presented to him. While the regulation supporting
MOH presentations specifies the President in the White House,
clearly the intent is served by the President presenting the
award in the USAFA setting. Given MSG Crawford's relationship at
the Academy and his personal desires, I believe we should waive
the White House specification.
RECOMMENDATION:
That we recommend to Mr. Deaver that the President personally
present the Medal of Honor won forty years previously to MSG
William Crawford in a ceremony in conjunction with the USAFA
graduation.

Dear Pam:
A staff assistant in my Colorado Springs office has brought some-
thing to my attention that I wanted to pass on to you. This might be
something you'll want to follow-up on for the President's trip to the
Air Force Academy in May.
-
It seems that Mr. William J. Crawford, one of the employees at the
Air Force Academy (I believe he is a custodian) won the Congressional
Medal of Honor during World War II but never had the medal given di-
rectly to him in an appropriate award ceremony. At the time, it was
thought he was killed and the medal was awarded to his father. Later,
it was determined that Mr. Crawford had survived and was in a POW camp.
A local Kiwanis Chapter in Colorado Springs has taken this on as a
project and believes we should make an effort to give Mr. Crawford the
ceremony he never received, even though, of course, he now has the medal
from his father. I think that's a very good idea and wanted to bring it
to your attention.
After you ve had a chance to verify the details with the Defense
Department, you might want to see if 20 appropriate ceremony can be
arranged during the President's trip.
My staff and I are ready to provide whatever help you might need,
so please don't hesitate to call on us.
Best regards.
Sincerely,
William Armstrong

press releases proving the award was presented to Mr. Crawford's
father. Mr. William Crawford was later confirmed to be a
prisoner of war. Now a custodian at the Air Force Academy, he has
never been personally presented the Medal of Honor.

Mr. Crawford's files could not be located due to a fire in the

obtained however, which proves the Medal of Honor for Mr. Crawford
was presented to Mr. Crawford's father. Mr. William J. Crawford
was later confirmed to be a prisoner of war and he is presently a
