The organization known as the Messengers of Peace are convening their world conference on November 23, 1983 in Phoenix, Arizona. I'm sure such a letter would be helpful to the President and would be handled properly since the organization's International President is Gaddi Vasquez, a member of my staff. Gaddi has been a long time supporter of the President and would like to share the letter and if possible a photo- graph of the President with the 6,000 delegates attending the convention.

Mr. Deaver is now traveling in the Far East with the President and upon his return I will bring your letter and request to his attention. I have, however, in his absence checked with Ms. Wrobleski and found that she has had to inform Ms. McGrath that a reception at the White House on December 8th will not be possible.

C. 20500 Dear Mike: I am enclosing a letter from MaryLucy McGrath to Ms. Ann Wrobleski dated October 27, 1983 with regard to the possibility of having a White House Reception on December 8, 1983 for the sponsors of a Dinner Dance in honor of the new production of "Cinderella" by American Ballet Theatre. I wanted you to know of this request and hope that it will be possible to work out some kind of arrangement which is consistent with your requirements. Needless to say, if there is anything I can do to provide additional information or assistance about this matter, I would be delighted to do so. I do hope that you and Carolyn would be able to join us for that evening. With warm personal regards as always, Sincerely, Charbe Charles K. McWhorter MARYLUCY McGRATH October 27, 1983 Ms. Ann Wrobleski The White House The East Wing Washington, DC 20500 Dear Ms. Wrobleski: It was good to speak with you today. I thought it might be helpful to clarify for you the American Ballet Theatre plans regarding the World Premiere of Cinderella, now that they are formalized. American Ballet Theatre plans a Dinner Dance in celebration of the production of Cinderella on December 8, 1983 at the Organization of American States Building. In addition, the World Premiere will take place on the evening of December 20, 1983 at the Kennedy Center. We will also be giving, on the afternoon of December 20, 1983, a private final rehearsal of Cinderella wh :h might be of interest as well. We now how busy Mrs. Reagan's schedule is and gr atly appreciate her consideration of any participation. We hope that Mrs. Reagan will consider honoring American Ballet Theatre by allowing us to hold a White House Reception for our sponsors, who are attending the Dinner Dance on December 8th. Dom Perignon has offered to give the champagne for such an occasion. We envision going to the White House at approximately 6 p.m. for the Reception and the guests departing at 7 p.m. for the Dinner Dance at the OAS Building. This would be of enormous assistance to us at this critical time in American Ballet Theatre's history. It would also help us make the resident Washington community aware of the World Premiere on December 20th. As you know by the 20th most of official Washington will have departed. American Ballet Theatre is a great american institution, led by one of the greatest artists of any time, Mr. Baryshnikov. We hope that Mrs. Reagan will find herself able to help us in this time of difficulty and economic restraints. -2- My sincere appreciation to you for presenting this matter. I hope for an early answer. Many thanks again.

While he is exactly the type of person we need in the Service, he is, unfortunately, frus- trated by the bureaucracy. He told me that he would look at other career opportunities during his coming home leave which is to commence November 5. One of the areas that intrigues him would be advance work for the White House. While I personally feel he is overqualified, if you happen to have a vacancy for a top-notch individual, in that or any other area, I can heartily recommend him. He will probably call your office sometime during this coming month.

Deaver The Honorable William French Smith The Attorney General Washington, D.C. 20530 OF Office of the Attorney General Qui PAID SEQUITUR Washington, . C.20530 DOMINA JUSTITIA November 14, 1983 MEMORANDUM TO: MICHAEL K. DEAVER Deputy Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President FROM: THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WAS SUBJECT: Organized Crime Commission With its charter now completed, the Organized Crime Commission is moving towards its first public meetings. In spite of the growing pains experienced early on, I agree with Judge Kaufman that the Commission now seems ready to carry out its mission of exposing organized crime. Judge Kaufman, the Commission Chairman, has tentatively scheduled the first Commission meetings for Monday, November 28, and Tuesday, November 29, to be held here in Washington D.C. The Judge would like to use the first day for ceremonial and organizational purposes, reserving the second day for the first witnesses. On the second day, it is expected that I will testify along with the Director of the FBI, the Director of the DEA, "an insider" who can speak from personal experience, and an "expert" in the area from the academic world. Judge Kaufman would like the President to testify as the Commission's first witness. Whether by appearing as a witness, or in some other capacity before the Commission, or by issuing a statement from the White House or a statement to be read by the Chairman, I would encourage some message from the President. A statement in some form would be the best way to underscore the importance of the Commission and to attract the attention that the Commission will need if it is to be successful. Attention to the Commission by the President would demonstrate further the Administration's continuing leadership in the fight against organized crime and drug trafficking. Should you have any questions on the matter, please let me know. If the President decides to participate in some way, the Department of Justice will be pleased to do anything it can to help.

Deaver The Honorable Caspar Willard Weinberger Secretary of Defense Washington, D.C. 20301 THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE OF DEFENSE WASHINGTON, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA November 10, 1983 Honorable Michael K. Deaver Deputy Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mike: Next year is the 35th year that Charles Schulz, the California cartoonist, has been doing his Charlie Brown and Snoopy series, and it is also the 20th anniversary since the first network television program involving all of the characters from that famous comic strip. It seems to me it might be a very good idea for the President to recognize this in a small award ceremony of some kind at the White House next year, because as you know this is one of the most popular comic strips in the world. A San Francisco area television producer named Lee Mendelson has produced all of the Charlie Brown television specials, and he will be writing you shortly to urge this matter. In his letter to me, Lee, whom I've known for many years, remembered that the President called Charles Schulz at the hospital after the latter's bypass surgery a few years ago. With warm regards, Sincerely, Says TH] WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON November 17, 1983 Dear Senator Laxa t: Your letter of November 10 with the attached from Bob Wood inviting the President to participate in the National Business Leadership Conference to be held in Chicago on March 22, 1984 has arrived in our office.
