DEAVER FROM EDWARD V. HICKEY, JR. Attached is another example of the type of military we have in support of the President. THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY WASHINGTON The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the NAVY AND MARINE CORPS MEDAL to CAPTAIN KENNETH J. GLUECK, JR. UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS for service as set forth in the following CITATION: For heroism while serving at Marine Helicopter Squadron ONE, Executive Flight Detachment, Naval District Washington, Anacostia, Washington, D.C. At approximately 0750 on 23 February 1984, Captain Glueck became aware of cries for help from the vicinity of the fuel truck which services Squadron aircraft at the facility. Running toward the truck, he learned from Marines congregating around it that a Staff Sergeant was trapped inside the tank and apparently unconscious. Although acutely aware of the danger of explosion or suffocation, Captain Glueck descended into the tank to retrieve the stricken Marine. Inching his way forward in the dark, partially full tank, he located the unconscious and convulsing Staff Sergeant in the most forward compartment. Dragging and pushing the much larger Marine back through the tiny passages of the tank, Captain Glueck realized that he himself could lose consciousness from the toxic fumes and lack of oxygen. Nevertheless, he continued to think clearly and deliberately and, through only the greatest of effort, finally moved the Staff Sergeant far enough aft that assisting Marines were able to pull them both to safety. By his courageous and prompt actions in the face of grave personal danger, Captain Glueck undoubtedly saved the Staff Sergeant from permanent disability or death; thereby reflecting great credit upon himself and upholding the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service. For the President, John Jahn Secretary of the Navy THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS AWARDED THE NAVY AND MARINE CORPS MEDAL TO CAPTAIN KENNETH J. GLUECK, JR., UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS FOR HEROISM ON 23 FEBRUARY 1984 OF GIVEN THIS 8TH DAY OF JUN 19 84 UNITED STATES THE AMERICA NAVY * John Jun SECRETARY OF THE NAVY OF 1984 Republican National Convention July 25, 1984 File Mr. Daniel Hexter 3198 Royal Lane Suite 204 Dallas, TX 75229 Dear Mr. Hexter: Thank you for your recent letter to Michael Deaver inquiring about Charley Pride singing at the Republican National Convention in Dallas in August.

I understand that if Kennedy were to retire at the end of his present term he would receive a pension of over one milli and one half dollars. As I was thinking of writing you---not knowing the address of the Republican National Committee along these lines our local paper produced the enclosed. Don't answer this letter.

(The Liberty Song 1768) Today is our Great National Holiday, for it is on July 4 that we celebrate that perfect fusing of idealism and action which gave birth to the United States of America. Those Founding Fathers who gathered in Philadelphia on that hot July day in 1776 left all of us a precious legacy of freedom and determination coupled with the unquenchable belief that the future was ours to create. They remind us that the present need not be shackled by the past and that what an individual "did and does" did and does make a difference. That handful of Patriots who changed the world stand before us in a special way every July 4. The Patriots challenge us to accept and live up to the ideals to which they pledged their lives, their fortune, and their sacred honor. Every American knows what those ideals are: Liberty Justice Equality National Independence. What we celebrate today is the fact that we have preserved these ideals for over 200 years; it is America's proudest triumph as a people and as a nation. As with any birthday, those of us who celebrate this July 4 - our birth- day as a people - feel the pull of the past and our need to rejoice in the glorious achievements of our history. Yet if we are to keep faith with those brave representatives of the thirteen colonies, we must not allow ourselves to become complacent. While instruct- ing the nation in the unsurpassable joys of freedom, they also never ceased to remind the infant republic that liberty would always demand vigilance and sacrifice. Americans have never forgotten that lesson, and from Valley Forge to Lebanon, Americans have given their lives to preserve freedom and peace. Today is a day for all of us to pause a second, reflect for a moment or to meditate on what it truly means to be an American. Those Patriots who signed their names to our Declaration of Independence did much more than "free" thirteen colonies. For over 200 years, and across an entire continent, they have stood as "Liberators of the Spirit" of each and every American. America has stood tall to the world as the land of the free. As Americans we are free to learn what we wish, go where we want, think and pray what we will. Such liberation of the human mind and spirit has been known in few lands and times. Yet, it has been the birthright of every American for over 200 years. So, for us today we must celebrate what America is: Hope Freedom Daring Risk Liberation of the Human Spirit. Just how powerful is the force of our democracy within a Republic is summed up by the demand of our First President, George Washington, when he made his tour of New England following his inauguration at Federal Hall in New York City: "Be Americans! Let there be no sectionalism, no North, South, East or West: You are dependent one on another and should be one in Union. In one word be a Nation, be Americans and be true to yourselves." ALLOCUTION PRONONCEE A L'OCCASION DU 208ème ANNIVERSAIRE DE L'INDEPENDANCE DES ETATS-UNIS par M. Joseph Verner Reed Ambassadeur des Etats-Unis Rabat Royaume du Maroc 4 Juillet 1984 Compatriotes, "Joignez vos mains, Vaillants Américains !" (Le Chant de la Liberté, 1768) Aujourd'hui est notre Grand Jour de Fête Nationale, car c'est le 4 juillet que nos célébrons cette parfaite fusion d'idéalisme et d'action qui a donné naissance aux Etats-Unis d'Amérique. Ces Pères Fondateurs qui se sont réunis en cette chaude journée de juillet 1776, nous ont laissé à tous un pré- cieux héritage de liberté et de déter- mination, lié à l'inébranlable con- viction qu'il nous appartient de créer l'avenir. Il nous rappellent que c'est à nous qu'il revient de créer cet avenir. Ils nous rappellent que le pré- sent n'a pas à être entravé par le pas- sé, et qu'il est une différence entre ce que l'on "a accompli" et ce que l'on "accomplit". Cette poignée de patriotes qui ont changé le monde, se dresse devant nous de manière bien particulière chaque 4 juillet. Ces patriotes nous défient de vivre selon ces idéaux pour lesquels ils ont engagé leur vie, leur fortune et leur honneur sacré. Chaque Américain sait ce que sont ces idéaux : Liberté Justice Egalité Indépendance Nationale Ce que nous célébrons aujourd'hui, c'est le fait d'avoir préservé ces idéaux pendant plus de deux cents ans; c'est la gloire la plus fière de l'Amé- rique en tant que peuple et que nation. Comme pour tout anniversaire, ceux d'entre nous qui célèbrent ce 4 juillet -notre anniversaire en tant que peuple- ressentent l'attraction du passé et ce besoin de nous réjouir des glorieux accomplissements de notre histoire. Cependant, si nous voulons tenir nos engagements envers ces vaillants repré- sentants des treize colonies, nous ne devons jamais nous permettre d'être entièrement satisfaits de soi. Tout en enseignant à la nation les joies insur- passables de la liberté, ils ne ces- sèrent jamais de rappeler à la République naissante, que la liberté exigerait toujours vigilance et sacri- fice. Les Américains n'ont jamais oublié o cette leçon, et, de Valley Forge au Liban, les Américains ont donné leur vie pour préserver la liberté et la paix. Cette journée est pour nous tous l'occasion d'observer une pause, de réfléchir un moment ou de méditer sur ce que signifie vraiment le fait d'être Américain. Ces patriotes qui ont ins- crit leur nom au bas de la Déclaration de l'Indépendance, ont fait bien plus que libérer treize colonies. Durant plus de deux cents ans, à travers tout un continent, ils sont restés les "Libérateurs de l'Esprit" de chaque Américain. L'Amérique se dresse de toute sa hauteur face au monde, comme le pays de la liberté. En tant qu'Américains, nous sommes libres d'apprendre ce que nous désirons, d'aller où nous souhaitons, de penser ce que nous voulons et de prier comme nous le voulons aussi. Une telle libération de la pensée et de l'esprit humains, ne s'est produite que dans quelques pays et à certaines époques. Toutefois, cela a été le droit de naissance pour chaque Américain depuis plus de deux cents ans. Aussi, nous réjouissons-nous au- jourd'hui de célébrer ce que représente l'Amérique, Espoir Liberté Témérité Risque Libération de l'Esprit Humain. Le degré de force de notre démo- cratie dans une république, est résumé par l'appel lancé par notre premier President, George Washington, lors de sa visite à la Nouvelle-Angleterre après son investiture au Federal Hall de la ville de New-York: "Soyez des Américains! Qu'il n'y ait aucun ré- gionalisme, ni Nord, ni Sud, ni Est ou Ouest : Vous êtes tous dépen- dants les uns des autres et vous ne devez former qu'un au sein de l'Union. En un mot, soyez une nation, soyez des Américains et soyez sincères envers vous- mêmes". she $ six imith jull 20 15, $ 5,5; issue 4 s,5, with will write ment Lew i cligiall this XI Lislo, wohall 1 the L.S 1 j 6 Jjj 2, w,w JUb,Y1 inteall Et 3. small can yi 1 , is c)tall will varial "1" in Y1 will Lifles; ut sill will 3. oi Lai 12.15 a 'sub i 11 in aily about the assell was 1~i un, ill lis was I Ny who - 6 old G'll Ciri suly planty ilso Janu 3 priler i. 3, Lens W in is prall 01 'yall we of gies 3.

They will, in my view, bring credit to the President -- not only politically, but also in the arts community. In fact, I don't think it is hyperbole to say that they will be viewed as among the very best set of appointments ever made to the National Council. I think all concerned deserve great credit. I am sure your own fine hand is to be found in the mix. Thank you so much. It continues to be my great privilege to serve President Reagan. His leadership in general, and these appointments in particular, make it a real pleasure and honor to be part of this Administration. Best regards. Sincerely, grank F.S.M. Hodsoll Chairman P.S.

Reagan President of The United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Council on Foundations, I invite you to welcome some 1,500 representatives of grantmaking institutions to Washington next April on the occasion of the 36th Annual Conference of the Council on Foundations. The Council on Foundations is a national membership organization representing more than 1,000 of the nation's private, community, and company foundations and corporate contributors. Our annual conference is a singularly, unique opportunity for these grantmakers to share information on current funding concerns, national trends and management issues. As someone who has stressed the importance of the private philanthropic sector, we feel it would be particularly appropriate to ask you to give brief welcoming remarks at one of the plenary sessions of the conference. The actual session at which you make a presentation may be determined by your availability the week of the conference which will be held April 24-26, 1985, at the Sheraton Washington Hotel. We would also like to invite you to meet informally with the Council's Board of Directors; this would be an ideal opportunity to share your concerns regarding the health and future of the private philanthropic sector. For your convenience, this meeting could be held at the White House on any conference day, April 24-27, 1985. I hope you will consider participating in this important conference, and will look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, James A. Joseph President JAJ/tb 30 July, 1984 My dear mr.
