Mr. William F. Sittman
Special Assistant to the President
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mr. Sittman:
Thank you for responding on behalf of Mr. Deaver, with
respect to my interest in serving as the Personal Photographer
to President Reagan during the President's second term.
I look forward to the opportunity of an interview there
in Washington. However, I am equally available to informally
meet with either Mr. Deaver or yourself during one of the
President's visits to California, should you have a few moments.
Santa Barbara was my home for three years, and its close
proximity is certainly convenient.
With the upcoming convention and election you no doubt
have much to occupy your energies. But I do appreciate your
and Mr. Deaver's offer to consider my request, and I remain
confident that such an appointment would reflect well upon
the President.
Sincerely,
JinnRoon

Mr. Charles Rochner
c/o Senator Richard Lugar
306 Hart Building
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Mr. Rochner:
My apologies for the delay in not following up sooner, with
regards to my quest as Personal Photographer to the President. I
have used the time to work with Morgan Mason, formerly with the
President, on strategy and my resume.
It is my understanding that Michael Deaver is solely responsible
for the selection, pending approval of the President. I have
sent him a resume and cover letter; likewise to Michael Evans.
We are down-playing my work at Playboy. I trust that in a
personal meeting with Mr. Deaver I could quickly remove any
doubts about my character from that relationship. (I must be
the only Republican who has worked at Playboy!)
If you are amenable, I would appreciate your forwarding a copy of
the resume and any comments to either Mr. Deaver or David Fisher.
I'm not sure if a mention that my brother-in-law, Ron Bean, was
the Presidential pilot is called for, but it probably wouldn't
hurt. I am very proud of Ron's record, and only hope that I may
serve to that standard.
Sincerely,
PR

SUBJECT:
Charles Wick's Request that the President Meet with
Japanese Students
In response to your note saying that Mike Deaver would like our
views on Charles Wick's request (Tab A), I have had the NSC staff
contact State and also Gaston Sigur, who is vacationing at the
beach, for their views.
State endorses the USIA request, if the President can fit it into
his schedule. Gaston also feels that if the President is here and
can do it, it would be a good thing, as it will get considerable
attention in Japan. However, Gaston believes the President should
certainly not stay in the city or change other plans to do the
meeting, and that the Japanese will certainly understand if the
President cannot do it, given that it is campaign time and that
August is also vacation time. The plain fact is that the event
draws more attention in Japan than in the U.S., and has always
gotten more publicity there. The Prime Minister of Japan has met
with the equivalent group of Japanese students for the past twenty
years, although that has not been the custom here.

Request that the President meet with Japanese
and American High School Students
Summary
Because of the important symbolic nature of the Japan Prefecture
student exchange program, we recommend reconsideration of a
meeting with the President and the 47 specially-selected
Japanese students.
Background
Our original June 7 recommendation that the President meet with
the students was turned down on June 13 (see recommendation and
turn-down, Tab A). The Japanese students, representing each of
Japan's 47 Prefectures, are part of the first official bilateral
exchange project with Japan under the President's International
Youth Exchange Initiative. The project is a reciprocal American
gesture to an exchange program for American students sponsored
by the Government of Japan.
In our memo, we indicated that Prime Minister Nakasone would
meet with the American students. The meeting took place on
June 25 and received nationwide news coverage on Fuji and Asahi
Television (See Tab C). He is also scheduled to meet on July 31
with the Japanese students coming to the United States under our
program.
On June 28, we recommended that the Vice President meet with
the students, but this meeting was also not possible. (see
Tab B).
I would like to discuss this idea again with you because of the
symbolic importance attached to these student exchanges in
Japan. Given the interest of Prime Minister Nakasone and the
Japanese Government generally, a Presidential meeting would be
appropriate and would demonstrate equal American commitment to
cultural understanding between the United States and Japan.

participants of the Prefecture Program, August 2-3, 1984 has been referred to

We appreciate your bringing these outstanding groups of young people to our

program doing so well and exciting to be launching the Prefecture Program.
Unfortunately, I regret to write that the President's schedule for the summer is

please extend to each of these students our best wishes for enjoyable and
educational experiences this summer.

SUBJECT:
Request for the President to Meet with
Japanese and American High School
Exchange Students
Under the President's International Youth Exchange Initiative,
47 Japanese high school students will be in Washington, D.C.
August 2 and 3 for an orientation session prior to joining
their American bost families for a year-long stay in the
United States. These students represent each of Japan's
Prefectures, the equivalent of our states. In return, 100
American high school students will meet in Washington June
19-22 for orientation prior to their departure for Tokyo under
the Japan- U.S. Senate Schelarship Program.
Both the Japanese and the American students will be received
by Prime Minister Nakasone and other high level government
officials in Tokyo. Since the Youth Exchange Initiative has
always placed great emphasis on the reciprocal nature of
exchanges, our Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs
feels strongly that it would be an appropriate gesture for the
President to meet with these two groups of students.
The Prefecture Program, fully funded by USIA, is the first
official bilateral youth exchange project with Japan under the
President's Initiative. During their year in the U.S., the
Japanese students will live with American families and attend
American high schools in various communites around the country.
The Japan-U.S. Senate Scholarship Program, fully funded by the
Government of Japan, is now in its third year. The 100 young
American participants are officially appointed by their
Senators and spend a SURRER in Japan living with Japanese
families.

During his visit to Japan last November, the President said in
an interview for Japanese television that he would like to see
an increase in student exchanges between Japan and the U.S.
Both of the programs described above are making important
strides in that direction. If the President can meet with
only one of the two groups, our recommendation would be that
he meet with the Japanese students. Please let ne know if you
think either of the two meetings, or both, would be helpful.

Request to Meet with Japanese
High School Exchange Students
Under the President's International Youth Exchange Initiative,
47 Japanese high school students will be in Washington, D.C.
August 2, 3 and 4 for an orientation session prior to joining
their American host families for a year-long stay in the United
States. These students represent each of Japan's Prefectures,
the equivalent of our states. They are participating in the
exchange as full scholarship winners in the Japan-Prefecture
Program.
The students are scheduled to be received by Prime Minister
Nakasone and other high level government officials in Tokyo.
Since the Youth Exchange Initiative has always placed great
emphasis on the reciprocal nature of exchanges, our USIS post
in Tokyo, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and I,
personally, feel strongly that it would be an appropriate
gesture for you to meet with these students.
The Prefecture Program, fully funded by USIA, is the first
official bilateral youth exchange project with Japan under the
President's Initiative. During their year in the U.S., the
students will live with American families and attend American
high schools in various communities around the country. The
Program was launched in response to a five-year exchange, fully
funded by the Japanese government, which brings 100 outstanding
U.S. high school students to Japan for a summer homestay visit.
During his visit to Japan last November, the President said in
an interview for Japanese television that he would like to see
an increase in student exchanges between Japan and the U.S.
The Prefecture Program is making important strides in that
direction. A meeting to welcome the first group of Japanese
students under this exchange will provide you an excellent
opportunity to demonstrate the importance the President and his
Administration attach to the Initiative, will promote increased
exchanges with Japan, and underscore the important cultural
ties within the U.S.-Japan bilateral relationship.
I would appreciate your consideration of this request.

SUBJECT:
Request that the President meet with Japanese
and American High School Students
Summary
Because of the important symbolic nature of the Japan Prefecture
student exchange program, we recommend reconsideration of a
meeting with the President and the 47 specially-selected
Japanese students.
Background
Our original June 7 recommendation that the President meet with
the students was turned down on June 13 (see recommendation and
turn-down, Tab A). The Japanese students, representing each of
Japan's 47 Prefectures, are part of the first official bilateral
exchange project with Japan under the President's International
Youth Exchange Initiative. The project is a reciprocal American
gesture to an exchange program for American students sponsored
by the Government of Japan.
In our memo, we indicated that Prime Minister Nakasone would
meet with the American students. The meeting took place on
June 25 and received nationwide news coverage on Fuji and Asahi
Television (See Tab C). He is also scheduled to meet on July 31
with the Japanese students coming to the United States under our
program.
On June 28, we recommended that the Vice President meet with
the students, but this meeting was also not possible. (see
Tab B).
I would like to discuss this idea again with you because of the
symbolic importance attached to these student exchanges in
Japan. Given the interest of Prime Minister Nakasone and the
Japanese Government generally, a Presidential meeting would be
appropriate and would demonstrate equal American commitment to
cultural understanding between the United States and Japan.

Dear Mr. Wick:
Your recent memorandum requesting that the President meet with participants in
the Japan-U.S. Senate Scholarship Program, June 18-22, 1984 and with the
participants of the Prefecture Program, August 2-3, 1984 has been referred to
me by Michael Deaver.
We appreciate your bringing these outstanding groups of young people to our
attention. I know that it is encouraging to watch the Japan-U.S. Senate
program doing so well and exciting to be launching the Prefecture Program.
Unfortunately, I regret to write that the President's schedule for the summer is
such that we are unable to arrange for meetings with these groups. However,
please extend to each of these students our best wishes for enjoyable and
educational experiences this summer.
With best regards,
Sincerely,
Fred

Charles 2. Nick
SUBJECT:
Request for the President to Meet with
Japanese and American High School
Exchange Students
Under the President's International Youth Exchange Initiative,
47 Japanese high school students will be in Washington, D.C.
August 2 and 3 for an orientation session prior to joining
their American bost families for a year-long stay in the
United States. These students represent each of Japan's
Prefectures, the equivalent of our states. In return, 100
American high school students will meet in Washington June
19-22 for orientation prior to their departure for Tokyo under
the Japan- U.S. Senate Schelarship Program.
Both the Japanese and the American students will be received
by Prime Minister Nakasone and other high level government
officials in Tokyo. Since the Youth Exchange Initiative has
always placed great emphasis on the reciprocal nature of
exchanges, our Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs
feels strongly that it would be an appropriate gesture for the
President to meet with these two groups of students.
The Prefecture Program, fully funded by USIA, is the first
official bilateral youth exchange project with Japan under the
President's Initiative. During their year in the U.S., the
Japanese students will live with American families and attend
American high schools in various communites around the country.
The Japan-U.S. Senate Scholarship Program, fully funded by the
Government of Japan, is now in its third year. The 100 young
American participants are officially appointed by their
Senators families. and spend a summer in Japan living with Japanese

During his visit to Japan last November, the President said in
an interview for Japanese television that he would like to see
an increase in student exchanges between Japan and the U.S.
Both of the programs described above are making important
strides in that direction. If the President can meet with
only one of the two groups, our recommendation would be that
he meet with the Japanese students. Please let me know if you
think either of the two meetings, or both, would be helpful.

Dear Mr. Wick:
Thank you for your recent request for the Vice President to meet
with the Japanese high school students who will be participating
in the President's International Youth Exchange Initiative during
their orientation session, August 2 - 4.
Unfortunately, the Vice President is scheduled to be out of the
city at that time and will be unable to meet with the students.
He has asked, however, that I express his appreciation for your
thinking of him and extend his best wishes.

SUBJECT:
Request to Meet with Japanese
High School Exchange Students
Under the President's International Youth Exchange Initiative,
47 Japanese high school students will be in Washington, D.C.
August 2, 3 and 4 for an orientation session prior to joining
their American host families for a year-long stay in the United
States. These students represent each of Japan's Prefectures,
the equivalent of our states. They are participating in the
exchange as full scholarship winners in the Japan-Prefecture
Program.
The students are scheduled to be received by Prime Minister
Nakasone and other high level government officials in Tokyo.
Since the Youth Exchange Initiative has always placed great
emphasis on the reciprocal nature of exchanges, OUI USIS post
in Tokyo, the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and I,
personally, feel strongly that it would be an appropriate
gesture for you to meet with these students.
The Prefecture Program, fully funded by USIA, is the first
official bilateral youth exchange project with Japan under the
President's Initiative. During their year in the U.S., the
students will live with American families and attend American
high schools in various communities around the country. The
Program was launched in response to a five-year exchange, fully
funded by the Japanese government, which brings 100 outstanding
U.S. high school students to Japan for a summer homestay visit.
During his visit to Japan last November, the President said in
an interview for Japanese television that he would like to see
an increase in student exchanges between Japan and the U.S.
The Prefecture Program is making important strides in that
direction. A meeting to welcome the first group of Japanese
students under this exchange will provide you an excellent
opportunity to demonstrate the importance the President and his
Administration attach to the Initiative, will promote increased
exchanges with Japan, and underscore the important cultural
ties within the U.S. -Japan bilateral relationship.
I would appreciate your consideration of this request.
