Dear Mr. Carlo:
Thank you for your letter urging review of a proposed
regulation providing for the graduation of companies from
the SBA 8(a) program. The regulation to which you allude
is currently under review and no final decision has been made.
As you know, SBA is required by law to fix a graduation date
for each company entering the program. The theory is that the
programs are designed to help such companies get on their
feet initially and not to provide a permanent subsidy. The
regulation as proposed would provide for individual determina-
tion of the graduation date of each company entering the pro-
gram but would set a maximum limit. In the event that a
maximum limit is set, it is contemplated that companies
already in the 8 (a) program for a time exceeding that maximum
would not be terminated automatically. Rather, a satisfactory
transition period would be determined.
Let me assure you that the review which you suggested in your
letter is currently being conducted.
Sincerely,
MICHAEL K. DEAVER

MEMORANDUM FOR CRAIG FULLER
FROM:
Kenneth Cribb, Jr. THCN
SUBJECT:
Nelson Carlo Letter to Michael Deaver
Nelson Carlo wrote Mike Deaver urging him to stop publication
of a final rule providing that particular companies would be
eligible for the SBA 8 (a) program for a maximum of five years.
Mr. Carlo fears that since 73% of the companies currently in
the program have exceeded the 5-year period, they could be
terminated immediately and financially ruined.
Robert Turnbull advises me that SBA is required by law to fix
a "graduation date" for each company entering the 8 (a) program.
The theory is that the program is designed to help minority
companies get on their feet initially and not provide a permanent
subsidy. The regulation to which Mr. Carlo alludes would pro-
vide for individual determination of the graduation date of
each company entering the program but would set a maximum limit
of 5 years. This regulation is now at OMB for review and is
slated for decision within two weeks. Turnbull understands
that Ed Meese will hold a meeting on this provision in the near
future.
Despite Mr. Carlo's fears, there is no intention to automatically
terminate companies that have already participated in the
program for more than five years. Turnbull assures me that
such companies would be allowed a satisfactory transition
time to wind down their participation.
I attach a suggested draft response, along with the incoming letter.

Washington, D.C. 20500
My Dear Mr. Deaver:
FINAL REGULATION FOR GRADUATION OF 8(a) COMPANIES
This matter commands my attention as no other. The Small Business
Administration's proposed final rule will effectively terminate the program.
Depending on the number of companies to which extensions would be granted,
as much as 73% of the current program could be terminated. That would leave
only 500 of the 500,000 U.S. minority firms in the one program which assures
participation in direct government contracts. Surely there is a fair and reasonable
approach to the graduation matter to replace this approach.
Abrupt or rapid withdrawal from the 8(a) program would be disastrous for firms
whose viability depends on these sales. As the Congress intended, individual
circumstances, must dictate the plan for graduation, rather than rigid timetables.
That is so, if the minority firms are to survive.
I URGE YOU, THEREFORE, TO STOP THE PUBLICATION OF THE FINAL RULE
UNTIL THE MATTER HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND A MORE REASONABLE APPROACH
HAS BEEN FOUND.
Sincerely yours,
Nelson Carlo
President

Thank you for your recent letter. I

taken by the Secretary of the Interior.
The continued productivity of the energy
industry is a primary concern of this

be brought to the attention of the appro-
priate officials within the White House.

Re: Department of Interior proposed
increase in simultaneous oil and
gas lease application fees
Dear Mr. Deaver:
Starting this month a congressionally mandated increase in
application fees under Interior's Simultaneous Oil and Gas
Leasing Program (the lease "lottery") took effect, raising
application fees from $10 to $25 per application. Before the
effects of this increase could even be measured the Secretary of
the Interior announced his intention to increase those same fees
to $75 per application, his intention obviously being to freeze
out of the drawings all but the wealthiest of individuals and the
oil companies. The effect, however, will also be to reduce
access to federal lands by the smaller exploration companies,
among them many who got their start in the industry through
acquisition of leases from the simultaneous drawings. The
proposed increase to $75 will also freeze out many of those four
million individuals who now file applications and will, in
effect, be disenfranchised from acquiring federal lands by the
unnecessarily high application fees; this effect runs counter to
Congress' intent in the 1960 amendments to the 1920 Mineral
Leasing Act which were designed to make access to federal lands
available to as broad a spectrum of people as possible, thereby
dispersing the leases so that the smaller independents (who would
be frozen out by a competitive bidding system) could acquire them
in the after market. Secretary Watt's proposal will concentrate
on those leases among the wealthier oil companies to the
detriment of exploration and development for the benefit of all
Americans.
I urge you you to let the Secretary know that his proposed
increase in filing fees is unpopular both within the industry
and, undoubtedly, within the broad population of four million
citizens who file applications each year.
LEASE INFORMATION: (214) 691-6041, FOR SUBSCRIBERS: (214) 739-6351
November 3, 1981
Page 2
A second part of the Secretary's announcement dealt with
increases in annual rentals to $3 per acre (from $1 per acre) for
the second five years of the ten year lease term. This is
designed to spur exploration and to discourage speculation. I
believe this is a reasonable means to attain a worthwhile goal
and I would not disagree with his decision on that regard.
Yours sincerely,
FAIRWAY EXPLORATION CO., INC.

Dear Mr. Klein:
Thank you for your recent letter. I
appreciate having the opportunity to
review your proposal for the institution
of a National referendum.
It is always encouraging to hear from
thoughtful citizens like you who have a
deep desire to improve the quality of
life for all Americans. However, since
the necessary actions to institute a
National referendum would have to be
initiated by Congress, I can only suggest
that you contact your representatives in
the United States Senate and in the House
of Representatives and make your views
known to them.

Dear Mike,
Thanks for taking time to see us last Thursday.
I realize that next to the budget, AWACS, the MX missle
system, etc. that saving the wildlife in Kenya is not
very high up on the list. Interestingly enough though,
if we're able to put this thing together, I have a
feeling you may look back on it as one of the most mean-
ingful things you accomplished. Especially as we discuss
it from the veranda of our ranch in Kenya just before we
go bird shooting.
I am not particularly optimistic about the prospects
of active support from the state department. The fellow
we met with, Richard Roth, was very unreceptive to our
remarks when we started the meeting. As we explained
the situation in detail he eventually came over to our
side, at least with lip service. He will be in Kenya
in about one week and assured us he would present our
views to officials there in a favorable light. You can
get a better reading on this from Bill Clark. Bill was
not able to meet with us but was to be briefed by Roth
after we left.
I feel the most positive step we can take now is
to arrange for a meeting between John Sutton and the
American ambassador upon John's return to Nairobi (11/26).
John requests that the ambassador be made aware of his
intention to telephone him sometime between November 26th
and December 3rd. With the active S upport of the ambassa-
dor and John's knowledge of the situation, I feel we'll
be on the right track.
I've enclosed a copy of the Mzuri magazine that will
give you all the info on the conference. If you feel you
can make it out and introduce Kissinger, Mzuri will take
care of all of your expenses. Hope you can make it.

Dear Mr. Dama:
Thank you for your recent message. I appreciate the time
you have taken to let me know your views on the MX missile.
In recent years we have witnessed a massive military build-
up by the Soviet Union with a corresponding window of
vulnerability opening on the West. In order to properly
ensure the security of our liberties and those of our allies,
it is necessary for us to rebuild our military capability.
I know that President Reagan will be as pleased as I was to
hear of your support for his decision to build the MX missile.
The development of this missile forms an essential component
in the President's program to strengthen our defense systems.
The problems involved with the deployment of the MX missile
are necessarily complex. While it is not possible for me to

Dear Mr. Cohen:
Thank you for your recent letter. I appreciate the time
you have taken to write.
Throughout his campaign for office, President Reagan
emphasized the critical condition of the economy. During
the transition period, it was discovered that the condition
of our economy was even more serious than the President had
charged during the campaign.
As a result of this finding, the President resolved to
address our economic problems as swiftly and as directly
as possible, and to give these matters priority over all
other concerns. No dollar of Federal spending was left
unexamined, and any other promises were reconsidered in
light of the need to revive the economy.
Your concern is understood by this Administration. You
can be sure that your comments and proposals will be kept
in mind as future budgetary policies are formulated.
With best wishes,
Sincerely,
MICHAEL K. DEAVER

Dear Mike:
I've just finished talking with Jay Moorhead, and
he advises me that I'm to be appointed to the Board of
Directors of Federal Prison Industries, Inc., with the
appointment to be made in early January.
Mike, I do appreciate this appointment, and the role
that you played.
Jay also asked if I was still interested in a full
time position in the Administration. I told him that if
you had something you wanted me to do that I would con-
sider it, but that I am not actively seeking a position.
I'm not certain what happens from this point, but
Jay was going to ask someone to send me some material
about the position and the Board itself.
When he called, I was on the phone to Jan McCoy,
whom I understand is the nominee for High Commissioner
of the Trust Territories of the Pacific Islands. I can
just see her wading ashore
Mike, thanks again. I do hope that we'll be able
to get together soon.
Regards,
Paul

Dear Senator Paul Laxalt:
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20510
At the risk of presumption, may I suggest a strategy for the President
to defuse the current malaise over recessionand unemployment?
The President, instead of waiting for more "shoes to drop", should
get on TV with the following message:
1. First, its no time to panic, or shift gears radically.
2. Tax cuts didn't cause a re cession, but they can get us out
of it quicker.
3. Instead of delaying our tax cuts, I propose to ask
Congress to move the July tax-cut up to January, to get
us moving faster on the road to recovery.
4. I know this is going to make my immediate deficits worse,
but, in the long run it will get us toward budget balance
faster. (Some good Kennedy quotes here from 1963).
5. I have also decided that we will not pursue additional
for
budget cuts this year, particularly in human services,
although as soon as recovery has started we will pursue them
for future years. In other words a budget- cut moratorium.

6. On the other hand I will not hesitate to veto any
appropriations bill that busts the budget voted by Congress
last May.
7. Finally, our first and foremost job, now, is to get the
economy moving again, and our tax-cut program is perfectly
suited to doing that, particularly since interest rates are
now lower in almost every case then when we took office:

Dear Mike:
Just a note to say I missed seeing you Wednesday
night at Trader Vic's. There were many bodies between
the egg rolls and you, and by the time I'd edged to
the front of the room you'd gone. I was sorry not to
have said hello, however the egg roll was delicious.
I've been working with Phil Winn and Sandy Sanders
at HUD since May. We're pulling and tugging a little
harder every day to employ the President's policies in
Housing programs and every SO often we realize some
progress.
Congratulations on all the victories. At times it
seems you guys are performing magic; although I think
there might be a little magic in the man, The President.
But the success has set a new tone for executive
performance throughout government and that demonstration
of leadership is changing the country.
We're backing you daily.
Sincerely,
On
Timothy L. Coyle
