DOLE SUBJECT: John Jacob It is my understanding that John Jacob, President-elect of the National Urban League, is a low-keyed, low-visibility administrator and an excellent manager. Having worked with the Urban League for 17 years, John Jacob served as President of both the San Diego Urban League and the Washington, D. C. Urban League prior to becoming Executive Vice President of the National Urban League in 1979. Pre- viously his emphasis has been more on the delivery of services than on strong advocacy, and from all indications his emphasis will remain the same. A graduate of Howard University, he is now serving as Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Howard University. Even though John Jacob will not be as visible an advocate as Vernon Jordan, he will share Vernon's strong concerns over the budget cuts. The National Urban League has received significant funds from the Federal Government, and these funds will be drastically cut. The majority of National Urban League's funds have come from the Department of Labor and according to Al Angrisani's office, the National Urban League received $20.4 million for FY 81; that figure is proposed to be cut to $1 million for FY 82. Mike, I'll call Shirley to check your schedule and I will be happy to contact John Jacob to see when the three of us can meet over lunch.

WILL help 17 December, 1981 Dear Mike, You are quite right: We cannot do much but talk, but we cannot be silent. And, fortunately, we have in President Reagan precisely the right person to talk for us: The man and the moment have met. Perhaps the President's opening statement today can be considered "the other half" of the zero-option speech. In that, the President put our best foot forward. In this, the President can underscore the worst face the other side shows. Sincerely, of THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON December 17, 1981 Dear Jerry: Thanks for sending the copy of the half-hour television program you did recently with the President. I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Sincerely, MICHAEL K.

Gann 1348 44th Street Sacramento, CA 95819 1 Thank you very much - a fractured schedule with very eimited time in Sucramento Thank you fer your hough/fulness best parents. regards to your Mr. and Mrs. Michael K. Deaver 4521 Dexter Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20007 Dear Mike and Carolyn, I hope this letter finds you healthy and happy in Washington. I have not written in awhile because not much has changed. I am still working as a contracts analyst for the State Dept. of Social Services. I enjoy it but my appointment is up on January 1 and I do not expect an extension, what with all of the departmental cut- backs. So, I continue to look for a position in the capitol, but at this point, to no avail. I have interviewed with several peo- ple and being ever-optimistic I hope that something will turn up in the very near future. How is the colorful world of the nation's capital? I would love to hear about it! And that brings me to the point of my let- ter. I have no way of knowing this , but it recently occurred to me that you folks might be 'home' during the coming holiday. I have spoken with my parents and we would like it very much if you could join us for dinner at some point during your stay. I rea- lize what a hectic time the holídays can be, especially if one is moving about, but we would like to welcome you back as friends and neighbors. My Mother feels rather flexible as to when this could be so give it some thought and if you are coming home we certainly would enjoy the chance to get together. In closing, may I wish you and your family a blessed and won- derful holiday season and a fullfilling new year. With Anticipation, John O.

Deaver Deputy Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mike: I am embarrassed to say that we have been on a treadmill since the moment we arrived home from our wonderful trip, knowing that your daily routine must be twice as active. My letter writing has fallen behind, though, so before Santa really arrives I want to get this off to you. Thank you so very much for the courtesies you extended Jackie, her relatives and me during our recent visit to Washington Town. We felt like Santa had arrived early. Your personal White House tour was absolutely fabulous, something we will never forget. We are deeply grateful to you, and appreciate your giving us those precious moments of your time. It was great to see you and we enjoyed so much seeing Carolyn and the children. Amanda is quite a little lady, and Blair and I solved all of the problems of the Washington Redskins. Thanks again. Hope we can see you out this way before too long. Also, please say "hi" to MaryLou. Merry Christmas to all. Sincerely, Bab Robert E. Bates Vice President P.S.

As you may know, President Reagan has decided to allow those air traffic con- trollers who went on strike to become eligible for employment within the Federal government. While most of the former strikers will not be eligible for posi- tions as air traffic controllers, they will now be eligible to hold other posi- tions for which they may be qualified.
