one of the top priorities of this Adminis-
tration. 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

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.

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.

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,

I know in my heart that I would not (nay, never) be going to that

steering?). I want you to know how VERY pleased I am. Further, I am

jotting which may entice you'to come to that extraordinary kingdom.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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,

These problems and decisions must be dealt with and\nultimately solved to the best of your ability and those who hold\nhigh offices around you.\nCompared to these, my problem must seem small in scope but as a\nloyal, hard-working Republican and American citizen, proud of my\ncountry and proud of the services that I and my husband, before\nhis death (I am a war-widow), I felt that your door would not be\nclosed to me and certainly I could not see your office reponded\nin an almost cruel and inhumane manner in which some of the\nbranches of government has, namely, The Workers' Compensation\nProgram, branch of the U.S. Department of Labor. Mine has been\na lone and tiresome journey for nine years and now find myself\nat the end, the end of my energies, the end of my fight for justice.\nThe attachment to this letter will show the latest struggle. It\nis self-explanatory. My primary file sits on the desk of a young\nrecently employed young man who tells me he knows nothing about\nmy story and finds the size of the voluminous quite humorous.\nThe personal file is in the Workers' Compensation Office, 450\nGolden Gate Ave., San Francisco, Ca. 94102.\nago\nSeveral weeks, I directed a letter to you and somehow it found\nitself on the Directors office in Washington, D.C. I received\na letter from him stating that it was in answer to my corres-\npondence to\"THE WHITE HOUSE\". I assumed it was the letter I had\nwritten to you. These offices of the Employment Standards Ad-\nministration, Offices of Workman's Compensation is where I have\nreceived the neglect and gross impropropties.\nCan and will you help me Mr. Deaver, the face, your face intro-\nduced to me on television, told me that you would.

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. H. Stein-Schneider\nCopy\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nSeptember 16, 1981\nDear Mr. Galbraith:\nThank you for your recent letters. It was good of you to\ntake the time to bring your views of issues of vital impor-\ntance to my attention.\nDuring the recent Ottawa Summit, President Reagan voiced his\nconcern over the possible construction of a natural gas pipe-\nline from the Soviet Union to Western Europe. 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. He believes that it\nforms an important element in our overall defense strategy.\nI know that the President will be as pleased as I was to hear\nof your support for his decision.\nWith best wishes,\nSincerely,\nMICHAEL K.
