Dear Mr. Christie:
Thank you very much for your very helpful letter on the
concerns of United States shipbuilders. I also appreciate
your suggestion that Mr. Lee Rice should be given an oppor-
tunity to meet with the President.
Please be assured that the matters you have raised are
subjects of continuing, active consideration within the Admin-
istration. We appreciate the industry's feeling that the Navy
shipbuilding program does not help the shipyards that are
primarily dependent on commercial work. Although the issues
surrounding the Navy's program are deep-seated and highly
complex, it should be noted that the Administration's programs
have yielded more shipyard business than those of any other
free country.
Despite the difficulties foreseen by some builders, the value
of the Navy's programs cannot be discounted. They are pro-
viding more business to American shipyards than in any period
since World War II. The Navy work has entailed a total of
$43.9 billion for the period 1981-1984. Another $84.1 billion
will be appropriated for this work during 1985-1989. It is
anticipated that about 40 percent of this goes directly to the
yards and the remainder is spread among suppliers and ancil-
lary system manufacturers throughout the country.
The Navy program is not limited exclusively to combat ships.
It includes merchant-type auxiliaries (T-Ships) for the
Military Sealift Command, which are spread among some yards
that have traditionally depended primarily on commercial work.
Nine of these yards have already received $3.1 billion in
contracts for the construction of 22 T-Ships and the conver-
sion of 21 existing vessels. While nearly all of these
vessels will have been completed by early 1986, a considerable
number of T-Ship contracts are expected to be awarded between
Fiscal Years 1985 and 1989.
At a time when maritime recession has brought hardship to
shipbuilders worldwide, our Navy program provides a unique
stimulus for the American industry. The Administration has
also helped shipbuilders in other ways. Preparation of
increasing numbers of ships for layup in the reserve fleet has
yielded a small but reliable source of business, primarily for
2
the smaller yards. Additionally, our shipbuilding research
and development efforts, co-funded by the government and the
industry, are developing ways to increase shipyard produc-
tivity. It is estimated that improved shipbuilding methods
introduced to our yards have already achieved productivity
gains of 10 to 30 percent.
It is clear that U.S. shipyards are not cost-competitive in
the world shipbuilding market, and it is doubtful that they
can be in the foreseeable future. This problem is complicated
by worldwide excess of capacity and the related depression in
the prices of ships. We can't simply build ships for which
there is no market, and it must be clear that the country must
pay priority attention to the necessary and long overdue
defense buildup. Nonetheless, we are deeply concerned about
the shipbuilders' current problems, and the Navy is working
closely with the Maritime Administration in an effort to find
solutions that are consistent with prudent fiscal policy.
The Navy and the Maritime Administration are not working in
isolation. Please be aware that the President is also con-
cerned, as you have recognized in your letter. He is
interested in the suggestions that have been advanced by the
industry and any new thoughts that industry leaders may bring
forth as we proceed. There have been a number of recommenda-
tions for constructive meetings with industry leaders and we
are actively considering these recommendations.

Procedures During Olympic Games
This week the Olympic Games begin in Los Angeles and will
continue through August 12, 1984. Although I will be traveling
outside of Washington during most of this period, you may still
find it necessary to notify me of pending problems or policy
matters. Any such issues should initially be brought to my
attention through Bill Sittmann at 395-2000 (White House Signal).
If security related problems arise, Ken Hill will be in
Los Angeles during the Games, and can be contacted at
213-552-9789 (Los Angeles Signal) or 213-688-4111 (Military Oper-

Dear Mr. Deaver:
I am writing to you to voice my concern over the recent efforts
by organized labor and other groups, with the intention of pre-
cipitating the resignation of Mr. Donald Dotson, Chairman of
the National Labor Relations Board.
It is my opinion, as Chief Executive Officer of Helbros Watches,
Inc., that Mr. Dotson has provided most able leadership, and is
directing the National Labor Relations Board with professional-
ism, even-handedness+ and in the spirit for which that body was
constituted. I know that many in our industry share that opin-
ion-
As an American manufacturing organization, struggling to pros-
per WITH the support and cooperation of its workers and their
union officials, we sincerely hope that Mr. Dotson will retain
his position in the future.
Very truly yours

Dear Sir:
I have recently been apprised of an all out effort on the part of organized labor
and other groups to force the resignation of Donald L. Dotson, Chairman of the
National Labor Relations Board. No doubt these steps are in response to
organized labor no longer having the NLRB in their hip pocket.
For a long time, a horrifying imbalance in the favor of organized labor has
plagued this country. In as much as 19% of the private sector work force
belongs to labor unions, it seems unwarranted that the NLRB is viewed as the
exclusive weapon of labor unions. Instead, this agency should be an arm of the
government that serves the balanced best interest of the employees and the
employer. Employees are not always best served when decisions are handed
down from the NLRB that make labor organizations almost omnipotent. Big
labor tends to be a very self-serving group that, in many cases, has long since
abandoned the rank and file members' needs as its primary cause. They're
interested in fattening their coffers and electing politicians who allow them to
remain in power.
If some of the decisions of the present National Labor Relations Board have
enhanced the rights of the individual employee (such as the recent decision that
permits an employee to resign from a union that is forcing him to go strike and
preventing him from feeding his family), it is hard for me to see how the
individual worker has been harmed rather than enhanced.
It is profoundly unfortunate in our society that the Democratic Party has long
been associated with organized labor and enjoys vast sums of money taken from
the dues of members to support its political causes. Someday there will be a
recognition of the fact that in order for employees' job security to exist,
companies have to be profitable. Someday both parties will come to the
realization that organized labor cannot marshall votes in a national election and
that the general public's distrust of labor unions enables elected officials to do
what is right rather than what is deemed politically astute.
Please take the necessary steps to see to it that organized labor cannot force its
will upon this administration or the National Labor Relations Board.
Sincerely,
SANDVIK, INC.
