Dear Jim:
7:30

Yesterday's meeting was very helpful. I will follow-up
by working with Craig to brief Mike Deaver on BizNet and the
related Chamber matters we discussed. In addition, I will
speak to Rollins, Lake and Cameron at the Reagan-Bush Committee.
Attached you will find packets of information on BizNet
and our voter registration program for your use.
Jim, as you know, the President cannot address the
Chamber's 1984 Annual Meeting (April 30 - May 1) because of
his trip to China. As the attached note to Craig indicates,
we would like to have Vice President Bush address our group,
and the President prepare a tape which we would be able to
show at our First General Session. We would appreciate an
early and positive decision.
Thanks again for a productive meeting. I'll keep you
posted.
Sincerely,
Tom-

Dear Mike:
On Saturday, February 18th, I formally announced my
candidacy for re-election to the U.S. Senate.
I am pleased that Senator Barry Goldwater will
accompany me to South Dakota on March 10th. We
are holding a fundraising dinner in Sioux Falls
that evening.
We would like very much to include greetings from
you in welcoming Senator Goldwater to South Dakota
and in officially kicking off my campaign.
If you could have your message sent to Eleanor Rhodes
at 407A Russell, Washington, DC 20510, SO that it can
be taken with us to South Dakota on March 10th, I would
be very grateful. Thanks for your help and support.

Washington, D. C. 20500
Dear Mike:
I have just learned that Mike Deaver will be meeting with
our Company's chairman, Roberto Goizueta, and Harold Burson
of Burson Marsteller at the White House on Thursday, March 1.
No doubt Harold has provided Mike's office with background
material on Roberto, but I thought the enclosed official
biography and the following internal Company information
would prove helpful as well.
- Donald R. Keough, president of The Coca-Cola Company,
served as co-chairman of the Grace Commission's
Personnel Task Force. More than six other senior
level Company employees were involved with the
commission.
- Roberto was master of ceremonies at the Phoenix House
dinner in New York last May honoring Mrs. Reagan. He
greatly enjoyed the event and told me how much he liked
Mrs. Reagan and how impressed he was with Jim Rosebush
and the other members of her staff.
- The Coca-Cola Company and its Bottlers have donated
more than $35,000 of soft drink products to the Press
office, the Advance office and the ranch during the
past three years.
This figure does not include the regular, complimentary
deliveries that are made to the State Department, Blair
House, etc. Nor does it include the dinner party given
by our German operation for the entire White House Press
corps that accompanied the President to Germany in 1982.
It does include the last major contribution of the more
than 400 cases of products donated during the President's
visit to Japan and Korea last fall.
- 2 -
-
Roberto has allowed me to donate approximately
six months of Company time during the past three
years to do press advance for the President.
-
Roberto has allowed John White, Don Keough's
executive assistant, to participate in a number
of Presidential trips where he has made major
contributions.
Mike, please let me know if you need any additional in-
formation or if I can be of further assistance. I look
forward to seeing you soon.
With best wishes,
Sincerel ly,

Dear Lyn:
I enclose this synopsis of the medical project we're
working on with the People's Republic of China. Since
it's non-defense and non-controversial, I wonder whether
the White House would have any interest in having the
President show off this transfer of technology in the
medical field.
Let me know if you need anything more.

The People's Republic of China's
first complete artificial kidney
center to open in Beijing in April
with the help of U.S. technology.
National Medical Care, Inc. of Waltham, Massachusetts, has
undertaken a major project involving the transfer of medical
technology to the People's Republic of China.
Through a joint agreement with the Beijing Health Bureau and
the State Pharmaceutical Administration of Beijing, National Medical
Care, the world's largest provider of kidney dialysis services,
will assist the Chinese in the development of its first complete
artificial kidney program for patients with end stage kidney disease.
Kidney failure is one of the leading causes of early mortality in
the People's Republic of China.
The agreement, signed in 1983, involves the design and outfitting
of a dialysis center in the T.B. Hospital of Beijing, the installation
of a modern water treatment system, and the transfer of medical and
technical information.
Utilizing the experience gained in the design, construction, and
operation of 168 dialysis centers of all sizes in the United States
and Europe during the past 15 years, National Medical Care has designed
a twenty station dialysis center which is currently under construction
by the Chinese. The unique design utilizing available space will
provide dialysis in the most medically effective and economically
efficient manner available. The facility is due to be completed in
early April, 1984.
In addition to the material aspects of the program, National
Medical Care will undertake the transfer of dialysis technology
through an extensive training program to be conducted on behalf
of representatives of the People's Republic at National Medical
Care's Kidney Center in Boston. All trainees, hosted in the United
States by NMC, will receive training in the technical aspects of
dialysis and the treatment of patients.
This joint effort between National Medical Care and the People's
Republic of China has reached fruition in less than a year's time
and reflects the urgency placed on the care of kidney patients in
Beijing. Future programs in the People's Republic of China are
anticipated by National Medical Care following this demonstration
project.

Dear Don:
You once told me that anytime I had a
suggestion to come straight to you with
it.
The Monday edition of the Washington Post
carried the story, "Military's Readiness,
Command System Criticized". In yesterday'
White House press briefing I responded to
these criticisms (transcript enclosed) --
yet not a word in the Tuesday edition of
the Washington Post.
Let's visit sometime soon.
Best regards,

Deputy Press Secretary

Mr. Donald Graham
Publisher

Q
Have you checked further on that Post story about
the decrease in combat readiness of military units?
MR. SPEAKES: Yes.
Q
Do you dispute specifically the assertion that there's
a 25 percent reduction in the number of units that are combat ready at
this moment if you set the Navy aside?
MR. SPEAKES: To begin with, the President believes that
the United States military is better equipped, better trained, has
better people, and is hence more ready than ever before for a combat
role should it be necessary. There are a number of facts that back
this up. Dealing with the study specifically, I don't have the data
on the item that you mentioned. However, the Defense Department will
be briefing in detail tomorrow in response to this.
But, basically, a study of this type is a management
tool. It does not take into account, for instance, quality of new
weapons. What you are seeing is a selected sampling of data, and we
don't think it is an accurate reflection.
Now, if you're -- would like to go into it, as far as
readiness is concerned, this has been one of our highest priorities.
We have raised military salaries totally 18 percent which has helped
substantially in recruiting. All military services met or exceeded
their recruiting objectives for the last three years. The quality of
people volunteering for military services improved. In 1983, 91 per-
cent of the recruits were high school graduates compared to 68 percent
in 1980.
Re-enlistment levels have also risen averaging an all-time
three-year high of 66 percent between 1981 and '83.
On the training, flying hours for tactical and fighter
pilots increased steadily between 1981 and '84. Ships steaming hours
have increased as well.
On material readiness, we significantly increased our
funding for equipment and facilities' maintenance. The procurement of
repair parts almost doubled between '81 and '84. And purchase of
spare parts has increased

dramatically. On mobility, improved personnel and material readiness
have been completed marked improvement -- have been complemented by
marked improvement in our ability to move forces rapidly to distant
areas. Since 1981 we've made major investments in strategic airlift
and sealift. From '82 to '84 for instance, we funded 5 C-5 cargo planes
and 20 KC-10 tanker cargo planes. And, on sealift capability -- '81
and '82 -- we acquired 8 SL-7 container ships, the fastest cargo ships
available.
Q
Larry, why aren't these things reflected in that
report?
MR. SPEAKES: That's because the report -- because you
don't understand the report. The report, for instance -- if you read
the story you would find out -- that the Assistant Secretary for Manpower,
Installations and Logistics said that this does not provide a fair report
of the emphasis the administration has put on readiness and sustainability.
The procurement account includes ammunition as well as new
weapons. And military construction contributes to readiness. For
instance, it points out in the study -- when the army designates a
battalion to receive a new M-1 tank, the battalion automatically and
immediately becomes "not ready for combat" until the tanks arrive, even
though the battalion is as capable as ever. So.
Q
Sounds like the White House is pretty stung by this.
(Laughter.)
MR. SPEAKES: No. I just happen to have the facts. And
the facts weren't reflected in the story.
Mike?
Q
I thought one of the other points in one of those
two stories in The Post had to do with the question of performance by
the military units -- some serious criticism of the organization of
military command, accountability of military personnel, and their ability
to -- not a question of whether or not they had enough guns and ammunition
-- but whether they performed properly under various circumstances since
Vietnam.
Do you have a comment on that?
MR. SPEAKES: I think that was more opinion than anything
else, reflected by the writer.
Q
Larry, as I understand it, the readiness report has
to do with the level of training, as you pointed out, whether a unit
is, meets its table of organization and equipment. So, I think the
question remains -- given the amount of money we're spending, why is --
why are these -- why do these deficiencies exist?
MR. SPEAKES: I don't think the study is a fair reflection
of it, as I pointed out, because -- in the instance I cited -- if they're
designated to receive a new tank, they immediately become unqualified
even though their readiness under the M-60 tank is just as capable as it
- 6 -
in '84. In addition --
Q
-- talking about training --
MR. SPEAKES: -- increased use of more realistic training
aids, to complement higher flying levels -- higher levels of flying
hours -- have also proven highly successful.
Q
The story doesn't say that training -- it says the
number of combat planes ready to fly right now are fewer than they
were in 1980.
MR. SPEAKES: Once again, this could be reflected in the
buildup of the weapons systems.
Q
Do you know it is?
MR. SPEAKES: No, I do not.
Q
Did you talk to the President about his daughter
yet?
MR. SPEAKES: No, but I know --
Q
One more question on this, Larry -- what about the
allegation --
MR. SPEAKES: Yes?
Q
What about the allegation the U.S. could not fulfill
its obligation to NATO in providing battalions --
MR. SPEAKES: I don't have the details on that yet, Mick
but, Defense will be ready -- to coin a phrase -- with both barrels
tomorrow.
Q
-- daughter?
MR. SPEAKES: Daughter? I have nothing new on that.
Here's what -- what I said this morning was quite all right with him.
Q
How do you know?
MR. SPEAKES: Because I asked him.
Q
You told him what you said?
MR. SPEAKES: Yes.
Q
And he said, "That's okay with me, Larry." (Laughter.)
Q
And he said nothing more?
MR. SPEAKES: I knew it reflected his views, and there
they were.
Q
Well, is he going to call up Terry Dolan and --

Probably you were too busy to ceive my
letter of Feb. 7, 1984. That letter proposed a
series of low cost actions related to our
productive technology. The purpose is to
a waken politicians and the pub lic to the realities
of our "dying" growth era and the development of
basic values necessary for a good life with
the earth's limited resources. The brief state-
ments did not include justification and methods
for low cost imple mentation.
Apparently, a large segment of our people
think our political leaders should pay more
attention to the physical aspects of our present
situation. Our dependence on the economic
approach is similar to Hoover's, I hope and
believe Reagan can generate the dynamies
of Roose velt. Concern for The next two decades
motivates me to push the importance of main-
taining reliability of our technology based
productive systems, methods and skills.
consequently if you and the Republican
Party are not interested in that aspect, I will
try to interest Senator Hart.
Sincerely Yours,
(Adele Kenneth.Miles Gurney's brother)

Dear Coco:
Your letter to Ben Bradlee has made its way to my
desk, which I understand your first letter never
did.
I want to thank you for sharing your thoughts
with me. After reading your poem, I know that
you are an individual with real concern for what
happens in the world and one who would take
pride in defending his country as well. I've
always had great faith in America's young people
and your letter is one very good reason why.
If it were possible for me to accept your invitation
to speak at your school's graduation, you can be
certain that I'd enjoy doing that very much. I
know you understand, however, that my official
schedule will not permit me to be with you and
your fellow students in person, but I'll most
definitely be there in spirit. God bless you and
keep up the good work.
Sincerely,

Thanks for our useful breakfast last week. Since that
time, we have moved ahead with our project to expand the
BizNet network as we discussed. I'll keep you posted.
We've also learned that Vice President Bush has agreed
to speak at the First General Session of our Annual Meeting
on April 30. I'll be in touch with Bill Sittmann to work
out a short Presidential tape which we will also show at the
Annual Meeting.
I look forward to staying in close touch as the
legislative and political situation evolves. Please let me
know if I may be of assistance.
Sincerely,
