You can be sure that your views will receive serious attention as we con- tinue to develop policies in the fields of both energy and Federal regulatory practices.

DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Mr. James R. Wilburn Vice President for University Affairs Pepperdine University Malibu, CA 90265 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 11, 1981 Dear Mr. Hebert: Thank you for your letter. I appreciate the time you have taken to bring your views to my attention. The President is determined to reduce the burden of the size and cost of government on the American people. While the passage of his tax and budget reductions by the United States Congress is a step in the right direction, there is much which re- mains to be done. Hearing from concerned citizens such as yourself is greatly en- couraging as this Administration continues to develop policies and programs. You can be sure that your comments and proposals will receive serious attention from the appropriate officials here at the White House. With best wishes, Sincerely, MICHAEL K. DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Mr. Art Hebert Route 9, Box 36 Eight Mile, AL 36613 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 11, 1981 Dear Mr. Mitchell: Thank you SO much for giving us the opportunity to ride on the Alice M.

I am sending along a small gift to say "thank you" to each of you. Sincerely, MICHAEL K. DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Mr. Edwin M.

Milchell Master Southport I., ME. 04576 633-2930 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 11, 1981 Dear Dr. Pope: Thank you for your recent message. I appreciate the time you have taken to bring your proposals regarding the Federal debt to my attention. The amount in interest which the Federal government must pay to finance its debt is of deep concern to this Administration. The problems it presents both in terms of budgetary policy and the amount of credit available to our nation's citizens are great. This Administration is continually reviewing and developing policy alternatives to deal with this situation. We are grateful for the suggestions of people like you who have a sincere desire to improve the quality of life for all Americans. Again, thank you for taking the time to write. You can be sure that your comments will receive serious consideration. With best wishes, Sincerely, MICHAEL K. DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Dr. J. Bland Pope 8107 East Court Austin, TX 78759 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 11, 1981 Dear Mrs. Oliver: Thank you for your letter. I am sure that President Reagan shares my appre- ciation for your support and your kind words concerning his recovery. President Reagan values the time which he spends with members of the Washington Press Corps both for the opportunity it affords him to become acquainted with these men and women and to communicate, through them, to the American people. Yet, the duties of his office demand that the time which he spends with the press be limited. I am grateful that you have taken the time to bring your views on this matter to my attention. With best wishes, Sincerely, MICHAEL K. DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Mrs. John B. Oliver 713 Rockbridge Road Birmingham, AL 35216 JOSEPH VERNER REED, JR. 1 CHASE MANHATTAN PLAZA NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10005 PRIVATE September 1981 Mr. Michael K. Deaver, Jr. The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mike: Eureka! Start with the best - Stay with the best ... that's YOU! Thanks to your active support and counsel the prize has been reached. I am honored (nearly speechless) and both excited and enthusiastic about heading towards the southern gates of the Pillars of Hercules. I look forward to carrying out the principles of the Reagan Administration. BUT I know in my heart that I would not (nay, never) be going to that important and challenging post without your backing (or should I say steering?). I want you to know how VERY pleased I am. Further, I am VERY, VERY grateful to YOU. YOU will of course have "B & B" at the Residence -- it will be a special pleasure to welcome YOU home to our house abroad. I am enclosing a jotting which may entice you'to come to that extraordinary kingdom. Once again, thank you. Jash As ever, and this uncaus Caroline too KD THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 14, 1981 Dear Joseph: Congratulations! All I did was suggest your name - you did the rest and you deserve the prize. Carolyn and I are honored by your invitation and hope that someday while you're there, we can visit. So sorry we missed the party in your honor but wanted to write and tell you to have fun in your new post. Warm regards, MICHAEL K.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness. With best wishes. Sincerely, MICHAEL K. DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Mr. Burt L. Talcott Louis C. Kramp & Associates 1919 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 14, 1981 Dear Mr. Griffith: Thank you for your recent message. I was delighted to hear from a fraternity brother and was pleased by your strong support for President Reagan. As you noted in your letter, the President has made his position regarding the Air Controllers Strike very clear. While, as a former Union leader, he respects the rights of labor to organize, the President believes that the integ- rity of the law must be maintained. When the air control- lers decided to strike, they did so in violation of both the law of the United States and their sacred oath. President Reagan is determined that such unlawful conduct shall not be countenanced. Again, I want to thank you for your strong expressions of support for the Prresident and for taking the time to write to me. With best wishes, Sincerely, MICHAEL K. DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Mr. Oliver C. Griffith 138 Shore Rush Drive Saint Simons Island, GA 31522 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 14, 1981 Dear Mr. Tonkin: Ed Meese hand delivered the letter you sent me. I certainly appreciate your offer of help. We continue to need our friends out- side the White House and are pleased for your approval. Thanks again for letting me hear from you. Sincerely, MICHAEL K. DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Mr. Harry M. Tonkin 2255 Watt Avenue P.O. Box 60346 Sacramento, CA 95860 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 14, 1981 Dear Mr. Hansen: Thank you for your recent message. It was good to hear of the efforts which your company has been making to help various government agencies reduce their expendi- tures. As you know, this Administration is dedicated to reducing the cost of government and the burden which it places on working Americans. We welcome the innovative suggestions of concerned citizens such as yourself on new ways in which Federal spending can be curtailed. You can rest assured that your message will receive care- ful attention from the appropriate officials. With best wishes, Sincerely, MICHAEL K.

It was good of you to take the time to write to express your concern for the President's health and well-being. While, fortunately, the events which you foresaw did not materialize, your sincere friendship and desire to be of help are appreciated by both President Reagan and myself. Again, thank you for writing. With best wishes, Sincerely, MICHAEL K.

DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20210 Dear Mr. Deaver: I wish to thank you for your letter of September 15 Your prompt personal response to my letter and its enclosures concerning my case with the Workers' Com- pensation "Office" was sincerely appreciated. The wording of your letter indicated that you read it's contents and I am waiting to hear from the San Francisco "Office" at this time. As I mentioned I have cooperated fully with their request (many times over), in regards to my places of employment, school and hobbies during my life time), An examination of my file (unavailable to me) will reveal this informa- tion which is well defined. I also appreciate your bringing interest in this case to Mr. Hartman of the Washington, D.C. office. I re- ceived a letter from him last week. Please know my purpose in calling my case to your at- tention was to hopefully help to expedite this claim to a satisfactory conclusion. You have helped and once again I do appreciate it. Yours very truly, (Edna) Ruth Spiels 410 Pearl St., Apt. 1-B La Jolla, Ca. 92037 Edna Ruth Spiehs A13-394416 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 15, 1981 Dear Ms. Spiehs: Thank you for your letter of September 10th in which you referred to a response you re- ceived from the Director of the Office of Worker's Compensation Programs responding to a letter you sent to me on July 16th. Mr. Hartman has advised you that "your case is presently under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco District Office". May I suggest you direct all future inquiries to that office to resolve your case. Sincerely, MICHAEL K. DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Ms. Edna R. Spiehs 410 Peal Street, Apt. 1-B La Jolla, CA 92037 September 10, 1981 Mr. Michael Deaver, Assistant to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20210 Dear Mr. Deaver: I fully realize the many immense problems that come to rest on your desk and in your mindin your capacity as the Assistant to the President. These problems and decisions must be dealt with and ultimately solved to the best of your ability and those who hold high offices around you. Compared to these, my problem must seem small in scope but as a loyal, hard-working Republican and American citizen, proud of my country and proud of the services that I and my husband, before his death (I am a war-widow), I felt that your door would not be closed to me and certainly I could not see your office reponded in an almost cruel and inhumane manner in which some of the branches of government has, namely, The Workers' Compensation Program, branch of the U.S. Department of Labor. Mine has been a lone and tiresome journey for nine years and now find myself at the end, the end of my energies, the end of my fight for justice. The attachment to this letter will show the latest struggle. It is self-explanatory. My primary file sits on the desk of a young recently employed young man who tells me he knows nothing about my story and finds the size of the voluminous quite humorous. The personal file is in the Workers' Compensation Office, 450 Golden Gate Ave., San Francisco, Ca. 94102. ago Several weeks, I directed a letter to you and somehow it found itself on the Directors office in Washington, D.C. I received a letter from him stating that it was in answer to my corres- pondence to"THE WHITE HOUSE". I assumed it was the letter I had written to you. These offices of the Employment Standards Ad- ministration, Offices of Workman's Compensation is where I have received the neglect and gross impropropties. Can and will you help me Mr. Deaver, the face, your face intro- duced to me on television, told me that you would. The camera's eye/inescapable. is May I hear from you or your office? With many thanks Sincerely (Mrs.) Edna Ruth Spiehs 410 Pearl St., 1-B La Jolla, Ca. 92037 P.S. If I have been fortunate enough to have your interest and hold a place in your heart, my case has been assigned a number. A13-394416. MKD THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 14, 1981 Dear Mrs. Hanna: I was SO pleased to hear from you and certainly do remember taking my grandmother to visit you in San Bernardino. Thank you for your kind words about my responsibilities with President Reagan. I would be most grateful to have any in- formation you can give me about my grand- parents. Thank you again for taking the time to write. I look forward to hearing from you again. Sincerely, MICHAEL K. DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Mrs. Marion W.

Deaver Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff The White House Dear Mike: I have just today received the enclosed letter from Marquis de Chambrun and the Reverend H. Stein-Schneider of The LaFayette-Rochambeau Society which is self-explanatory. It would be appreciated if you would bring the attached to the President's attention. I believe he will find it of interest. Many thanks. Sincerely, fee Wamily, Leonore Annenberg THE LAFAYETTE-ROCHAMBEAU SOCIETY St. John's Lafayette Square Washington, D.C. 20005 The Rev. Herbert L. Stein-Schneider, Ph.D. Marquis de Chambrun Presidents September 14 1981 Dear Madame Annenberg: We would like to bring to your immediate attention the extremely recent decision of the National Park Service to accept the large and magnificent equestrian statue of Felix de Weldon (of Iwo Jima fame) honoring the French and American military responsible for the victory at Yorktown. The statue, measuring 24 feet by 40 feet, will be placed adjacent to SURRENDER FIELD in the weeks between now and October 18. It will constitute a dramatic focal point at the Yorktown battlefield. It will remain there, cast in bronze at a later date, for many generations to come. This statue should be seriously considered as the key site - for its photogenic value and its political significance - for the presidential visit at Yorktown. The three horsemen are, in fact, George Washington, Marquis de Lafayette and Count Rochambeau. The statue thus symbolizes the spirit of Yorktown which Mr. Reagan certainly wants for his talks with President Mitterrand, whose brother is a French General. The Marquis de Chambrun (direct descendent from Lafayette) and myself will be very pleased to give you any further infor- mation, as will be the Park Service both here in Washington and at Yorktown. In the hope that the President will be able to come and receive the statue officially we remain very sincerely yours Chamburn Marquis de Chambrun Rev. H. Stein-Schneider Copy THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 16, 1981 Dear Mr. Galbraith: Thank you for your recent letters. It was good of you to take the time to bring your views of issues of vital impor- tance to my attention. During the recent Ottawa Summit, President Reagan voiced his concern over the possible construction of a natural gas pipe- line from the Soviet Union to Western Europe. The President made his objections to this project known to our allies in Europe and is now working with officials at the Department of State to develop alternate means by which our friends in Europe may satisfy their energy needs. As you may know, the President has decided to go forward with the development of the neutron bomb. He believes that it forms an important element in our overall defense strategy. I know that the President will be as pleased as I was to hear of your support for his decision. With best wishes, Sincerely, MICHAEL K. DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff Mr. Robert E. Galbraith 12469 Miller Road Lower Lake, CA 95457 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 16, 1981 Dear Mr. Barger: Thank you for your recent message. I appreciate the time you have taken to write concerning the deregulation of natural gas. As you know, this Admin- istration is dedicated to reducing the burdens of unnecessary and unproductive Federal regulations borne by all working Americans. You can be sure that your com- ments and proposals will be given careful consideration by this Administration. With best wishes, Sincerely, MICHAEL K.

You can be sure that they will receive serious consideration from the appropriate members of this Administration. With best wishes, Sincerely, MICHAEL K.

I appreciate having the benefit of your views on education and the civil service.

Herbert L. Stein-Schneider, Ph.D.\nMarquis de Chambrun\nPresidents\nSeptember 14 1981\nDear Madame Annenberg:\nWe would like to bring to your immediate attention\nthe extremely recent decision of the National Park Service to accept the\nlarge and magnificent equestrian statue of Felix de Weldon (of Iwo Jima fame)\nhonoring the French and American military responsible for the victory\nat Yorktown.\nThe statue, measuring 24 feet by 40 feet, will\nbe placed adjacent to SURRENDER FIELD in the weeks between now and October 18.\nIt will constitute a dramatic focal point at the Yorktown battlefield. It\nwill remain there, cast in bronze at a later date, for many generations to\ncome.\nThis statue should be seriously considered as the key\nsite - for its photogenic value and its political significance - for the\npresidential visit at Yorktown. The three horsemen are, in fact, George\nWashington, Marquis de Lafayette and Count Rochambeau. The statue thus\nsymbolizes the spirit of Yorktown which Mr. Reagan certainly wants for his\ntalks with President Mitterrand, whose brother is a French General.\nThe Marquis de Chambrun (direct descendent from\nLafayette) and myself will be very pleased to give you any further infor-\nmation, as will be the Park Service both here in Washington and at Yorktown.\nIn the hope that the President will be able to\ncome and receive the statue officially we remain very sincerely yours\nChamburn\nMarquis de Chambrun\nRev.

The President\nmade his objections to this project known to our allies in\nEurope and is now working with officials at the Department of\nState to develop alternate means by which our friends in\nEurope may satisfy their energy needs.\nAs you may know, the President has decided to go forward with\nthe development of the neutron bomb.
