THE WHITE HOUSE Jili WASHINGTON March 13, 1984 MEMORANDUM FOR MICHAEL K. DEAVER memore FROM: MICHAEL A. McMANUS SUBJECT: National Agriculture Day - March 20 Yesterday I was advised by Craig Fuller that he had picked, and Jim Baker approved, a farm visit for Ag Day. The farm turns out to be a dairy farm. On checking with Jim Hooley, I found that we couldn't do a pre-advance today because of the weather. Hooley suggested we take the day to check out a little more closely Studdert's second choice, a working farm. He was concerned Steve might not have been sensitive to the dairy problem and wanted to suggest a farm in the district of his neighbor, Cong. Wolf. Studdert's memo is attached. I was not consulted at all on this, but after trying unsuccessfully to talk to Fuller, suggested to Baker that we take a closer took at the Smith farm, #3 on the Studdert memo. Baker agreed. Fuller was upset. We will have a report this afternoon so a choice can be made by Wednesday. cc Ray Lail BLOCK'S their March 5, 1984 CCTD MEMORANDUM TO WILLIAM HENKEL FROM STEPHEN M. STUDDERT our SUBJECT Site Survey/Agriculture Day event As directed, I limited my considerations to Virginia and to within thirty minute helicopter time. I did not identify myself. RECOMMENDATION: Visit the James Brownell farm in Louden County, Virginia 1. James Brownell farm. Located approximately fifteen miles west of Leesburg on Route 7. Brownell is a dairy farmer milking about 170 COWS which produce 800 to 1000 gallons of milk per day. He farms approximately 400 acres with NEM his sons Mark and Scott. Brownell is described as a farmer concerned about civic affairs. He is currently the first Republican Chairman of the Louden County Board of Supervisors (a part time position). He ran for this office as a concerned farmer. He is not a political activist. He is also a leader in the Virginia Farm Bureau and related activites. His family is described as a good farm family. The farm is a working farm and not a show place. He lives in a large two-story white home on the farm. At the rear of the home are several barns, a milking barn, numorous calf sheds, equipment sheds, etc. While it was muddy and looked messy after a long winter the day I was there, it could easily be made ready for a visit. Presidential activities at the farm could include a walk by the President and Secretary Block through the calf sheds, go into the milking barn (pool shots very tight there) and then meet with whatever groups were required in one of the barns which could be cleared out to make space. I would also recommend a breakfast or lunch for the President and Secretary Block in the farm house, possibly to include neighbor farm families. Sufficient helo landing zones exist immediately adjacent and in front of the home. Drive time from Washington is approximately one hour and the advance could most probably be handled as an in-towner. Helo flight time is 23 minutes. Memorandum to William Henkel Page Two Political Considerations: Brownell's farm is located in the 10th Congressional District of Rep. Frank Wolf (R). Wolf has no primary opponent and has been a consistent supporter of the President generally. Agriculture is the number one industry of Louden County. USDA/Census Bureau facts show average U.S. farm is 437 acres; Brownell farm is approximately 400. 2. J. Carlton "Zeus" Clore farm. One suggested by USDA, it is located in Culpepper, Virginia. While very nice for a political fundraising reception, it is totally inappropriate for a visit of this nature. It is a show place, not a working family farm. Further, the farm is located in the 7th Congressional District where Rep. Kenneth Robinson (R) has announced his retirement, and there is a long list of GOP candidates. 3. G. A. and K. W. Smith Farm, known as Ashland. Also suggested by USDA and near Culpepper, Virginia. This is more of a working farm, but with 1153 acres is not representative of a typical working farm. However, an event as envisioned could be held on this farm. It has a large farm house and several barns and out buildings. It is also located in the 7th Congressional District. Helicopter flight time is approximately 30 minutes; drive time is nearly two hours during traffic times necessitating on-site lodging of the advance team. A Holiday Inn is within about three miles of the farm. 4. I also looked at numerous other farms in Louden County which would be possible sites, but Brownell's is as good as any I saw. Mr. James F. Brownell Whitehall Farm Box L Bluemont, Virginia 22012 703-554-8202 Farm is located on south side of Route 7 at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains approximately fifteen miles west of Leesburg.

I have been working for the federal government since 1977 when I first came to Washington as the Chief of Staff for United States Senator John Chafee of Rhode Island. After having worked on the Reagan campaign in 1980, I was appointed by the President as Assistant Secretary for Governmental Affairs at the Department of Transportation. There I worked very closely with the Senate, Congress, governors and mayors to help in the passage of laws which dealt with various areas of transportation. Last year at this time, the President asked me to go to the Environmental Protection Agency where I was asked to run that Agency for five months until the President selected a permanent Administrator. I have been in my present position since last June. My job at the White House is to serve as the "eyes and ears" of the President with all of the nation's governors, state elected officials, mayors, county oficials and state legislators and even school board members. It is a big job trying to understand all of the things that those people are concerned about and making sure that the President knows about them as well. Sometime I can tell you more about some of the things that I do here at the White House. I am looking forward to learning more about you, your interests and hobbies. I have a son who is in the fifth grade. Sincerely, Lee L.

C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: It is with some sadness that I submit my resignation as Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works. How- ever, it is time for Shirley and me to return to Califor- nia. I suggest that the effective date of my resignation be May 5, 1984, which will allow me to chair the quarterly meeting of the Panama Canal Commission scheduled in April and conclude some of the other activities in which I am involved. When I leave my position it will be the first time in over 17 years that I will not be serving the State or Federal Government under an appointment from you - first as one of your early appointees in California as Director of Water Resources for almost seven years; second, as a member of the California State Personnel Board for more than seven years; and finally as Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works for more than three years. Although demanding and hectic at times, these periods of public service have been rewarding. During this time, I have appreciated your confidence and support and hope I have been of assistance in some small way in furtherance of your goals and in making your job a little easier. I am convinced that you are fulfilling a mission of our Creator in making certain that our great country does not falter but shoulders the tremendous responsibilities placed upon it for the betterment of all the peoples of the world. Shirley joins with me in expressing our love and affection for you and Nancy as you lead our country over the next four years. Our prayers will always be with you both and we will be in our California awaiting your ulti- mate return. Sincerely, 697- Bill Geonelle 8986 William R.

At a time when many corporations are merely using wildlife in their logos and advertising campaigns, Seagram's has carried out a highly successful public awareness campaign to alert Americans to the plight of the bald eagle, and even more important, what is being done by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to bring it back from the edge of extinction. Through product promotion of its Eagle Rare bourbon, the company has initiated extensive news coverage and disseminated literature about eagles and has provided direct financial support for bald eagle restoration efforts. Seagram's has demonstrated that the goals of the private sector and the government can be mutually beneficial. In fact, numerous other companies, after hearing of this novel program, have become involved in wildlife conservation efforts. It's a pleasure to pass along to you Eagle Rare's newest and most beautiful ceramic.

I would be happy to have your opinion on Mr. Cohn's article for possible publication later this year. Please address any letters to me.

All rights reserved. ADVISE & DISSENT OPINION A re the news reports that we see on television and read in our newspapers censored? You're darn right they are. Are they censored by our government? No. But they are censored every day by certain powerful elements in the media that omit whatever their ultraliberal biases and prejudices can't deal with, SO that we are left with an end product that is not all the news that's fit to print-but all the news that fits. Volumes could be filled with the evidence of the devastating effect of this left-wing censorship. This past year alone it has emerged in the coverage of the war in Lebanon-about which Martin Begun, a prominent Democrat who is president of the liberal American Jewish Congress, aptly commented, "The network[s] exceeded the limits of objective journalism by por- traying Yasir Arafat and the PLO in a favorable light, while deni- grating Israel and its leaders." (See also Arnold Forster's excellent Penthouse article on this subject in the February BRITAIN HILL/OUTLINE 1984 issue.) It surfaced again in the slanted coverage of Gre- nada. Scenes of the rescued American medical students were often cut off the screen as they were about to kiss American soil and replaced by images of corpses in Lebanon. In fact, the media desperately tried to discredit the Grenada operation at BY ROY M. COHN every possible opportunity.

He is everything they can't WHY THE stand-a conservative who believes in God and country. The networks act as if they can't forgive the president for having been elected (columnist Earl Wilson commented that "1980 PRESS HATES will be remembered as the year of the landslide that was too close to call"). The president himself monitors this slanting of the news. On REAGAN entering the Oval Office last year, for example, two friends found the president, known for his invariable affability and calm under fire, quite annoyed. The night before, the president had heard a news commentator report in dire tones that the stock market had sustained its severest drop-some 30 points— since the 1929 panic. There was no mention of the fact that the market had had unprecedented gains over the previous few days-and that in 1929 the 30-point drop was against 200 points, while last year it was against 1,000! Although the presi- dent called the network and nailed them cold, it was obvious that the facts were no guarantee against the media's determi- nation to make his administration look bad. When the Reagan presidency began, the media seized on the inherited recession as something incurable and all perva- sive.

FROM TED MAINO AMERICAN EMBASSY C1 Fle Bill plo suelin not toon like LYN you're some any W bak-up Mike qurnt, MEMORANDUM RE Invitation to the President this ation, Lere's to speak at Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota The Invitation Concordia College Moorhead, Minnesota April 5 - 7, 1984 (or another time if convenient for the President) Conspectus If it is deemed to serve the interests of the President and our party that he visit the midwest in 1984, this may be the time and place to do it. Points for Evaluation Concordia serves Minnesota, Montana, the Dakotas, and neighboring states. The largest American Lutheran Church school, it is a known, respected, indeed beloved institution in the midwestern area. The President's appearance there would be viewed with unbridled enthu- siasm by people numbering many, many times the 6000 that would cheer him in Concordia's auditorium. The event, a C-400 Club meeting, would lend emphasis to important Reagan initiatives. C-400 is the college's major donor group (prominent leaders in agriculture, business, and the professions throughout the midwest) with a recognized, superb record demonstrating what volunteer, private efforts can do for quality education. C-400's prestige has drawn renowned speakers in the past, including Paul Harvey, Sen. Mark Hatfield, William Lear, Amb. Abba Eban, Jesse Owens, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, Beverly Sills, Charlton Heston, and Govs. Allen Olson, Albert Quie and George Romney. Timing is excellent. A Presidential trip to Moorhead, Minnesota, which borders Fargo, North Dakota, sometime during April 5 - 7 would enable him also to see the North Dakota State Republican Convention. A "drop-by" for Sen. Rudy Boschwitz and Rep. Arlan Stangeland could help measurably in their close races. Timing is excellent for another reason. Presumably Mondale will sweep the Minnesota delegate caucuses on March 20, but a strong appearance by the President two weeks later would remind that state and its neighbors that the heartland of America holds to the values that Ronald Reagan embodies. The invitation is supported by a host of our party's midwestern leaders such as: Sen. Boschwitz Sen. Durenberger Sen. Andrews Rep. Stangeland Marlys Fleck (first woman chairman of N.D. state party and an avid supporter of the President) Leon Oistad (state chairman, Independent Republicans of Minnesota) John Brenden (chairman, Republican Party of Montana) Ben Clayburgh (RNC member for N.D.) Betty Lou Pyle (RNC member for N.D.) Prominent business people also support the invitation. Two special letters of support must be noted -- one from Charlton Heston, who appeared at C-400 last year, and the other from Clifford E. Enger, now head of Beverly Hills Oil but in an earlier incarnation the producer of Death Valley Days! Concordia's facilities and capabilities for hosting the President are excellent, as demonstrated during a recent visit by the King of Norway.
