As you know, the President has long supported a constitutional amendment to provide this power to the Chief Executive. As the President explained in an article on the Presidency for the issue of National Forum devoted to the Bicentennial of the Constitution, granting such power to the Chief Executive would not alter the constitutional balance but in fact restore the Framers' original design. In return for your sending along a copy of the Journal, I have taken the liberty of enclosing a copy of the National Forum issue containing this article. Thank you again for the Journal issue, which I am certain will be helpful to those at the White House most actively involved with this timely topic.

Brt FROM: WILLIAM F. MARTIN WISE SUBJECT: Presidential Article for The Times (of London) Attached is an NSC-approved article, to be signed by the President, for submission to The Times (of London) for inclusion in a Special Supplement commemorating The Times' 200th anniversary. The Times has asked various Heads of State to submit 850-word articles on their vision for their own country in the year 2000. Please circulate to appropriate members of the White House staff for clearance and return comments to the NSC, as this article must be submitted to the Washington office of The Times by Tuesday afternoon, October 22. Many thanks. Attachments TAB A Proposed Presidential article TAB B Incoming letter from The Times The daily press of events often leaves one little time to reflect on the future, so I welcome The Times' invitation to write about my vision of America in the year 2000. It is appropriate that I do so in the pages of the oldest daily newspaper in the world, a symbol of freedom older than our own Constitution. Unlike most nations, the United States was founded on a vision. We see our history as a constant striving toward the vision set down in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. That vision is of a nation where every person, regardless of background or beliefs. is free to realize his or her full potential. spiritual and material. America was founded the principle that freedom and progress should not be the preserve of the lucky few, but the universal right of all. I see an America in the year 2000 which has made further progress toward realizing the noble vision. All Americans today have the freedom to think and worship as they please. The vast majority have the freedom to find fulfillment in their work, in their quality of life, and with their loved ones. -2- We will not be satisfied until every American knows this freedom. The remaining barriers to self-fulfillment are largely economic in nature, so economic growth is the key to future opportunity. This growth depends on keeping government out of the way of human talent and initiative. Where people are free to pursue their ideas and dreams, prosperity and opportunity are the rule. Where government becomes the people's master, rather than their servant, creativity is stifled and progress impeded. In the past four and a half years, with policies trusting to the people, America has restored its economic vigor; we have created 8 million new jobs in the past three years. Government has an essential role to play, but there can no longer be any doubt that the true source of economic growth is the individual, not the state. If we stick by this truth, the opportunity for fulfillment that most Americans know today can be available to even more by the year 2000. My vision is one where poverty will be greatly reduced. We will have succeeded in tearing down completely the walls of intolerance that once divided our citizens. Technology will be making unprecedented advances in spreading knowledge and facilitating human comfort; science will have immeasurably enhanced life and, I pray, found a cure for cancer and other dread diseases. -3- If other nations follow the path of economic freedom, and uphold a system of free and fair trade, then more rapid economic growth will surge throughout the world. Expanding opportunity will be an international phenomenon. And the more advanced nations will be able to be more generous in helping those nations in need. The gap between developed and developing nations will narrow; indeed, many of the latter will join the ranks of the former. The exercise of freedom presupposes peace. I pray that as we look back from the year 2000, we will be able to contrast with the horrors of the first half of the century, the relative peace of the second half. I do not expect the stark differences between the democracies and the totalitarian countries to have vanished, so I see an America and a Western alliance that have maintained their strength and resolve such that no aggressor could have thought he could gain from war. If we do this, my prayer will be met. The United States will continue to rely on deterrence to keep the peace, but it will be a safer, more stable kind of deterrence than today's. Rather than rely solely on the threat of retaliation -- of avenging lives lost -- it will be based more on the ability to defend human lives against nuclear attack. Our Strategic Defense Initiative is a research program, so I cannot predict at what stage we will find ourselves in 2000. -4- I am an optimist, however, and I have to believe the same scientific and engineering genius that invented the steam engine and sent a man to the moon will find ways to make feasible defenses against ballistic missiles, defenses that are survivable against counter- measures and are cost-effective. If the Soviet Union sees the potential of such defenses in its own research program, as I believe it will, perhaps it will agree with us on a cooperative transition to a system of deterrence based on a stable balance of defense and offense -- at sharply lower levels of offensive forces than today. Such an outcome would enable us to move some time in the next century toward the complete elimination of nuclear weapons. A strong conventional deterrent would, however, remain vital. Continued Western resolve could lead to the most hopeful development of all. Frustrated in its expansionist aims, and recognizing the imperatives for change at home, the Soviet Union could agree with us to turn our competition away from armaments to competition in benefiting mankind. We are not afraid of such a competition. Is Mr. Gorbachev? I call on him to join us, today, in this new context. Mankind would then be able to look toward the new century, the third millennium of the modern era, with an optimism and hope justified as never before. THE TIMES Times Newspapers Limited P.O.

The President's article is an important contribution to that effort. Sincerely, PUBLIC RESEARCH, tab Banlow SYNDICATED 4650 Arrow Highway Suite D-7 Montclair, CA 91763 Jack Barlow (714) 621-5831 Editor 885 words THE PRESIDENCY: ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES by Ronald W. Reagan For nearly 200 years, the Constitution has endured with relatively few amendments as a blueprint for freedom. In commemorating the Bicentennial of the Constitution we celebrate not simply the historic event that took place in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787, but the process by which we govern ourselves today. There is no better time than this Bicentennial period to refamiliarize ourselves with the Constitution and rededicate ourselves to the values it embodies. The central challenge confronting the Framers of the Constitution was to create a strong national government that would not threaten the liberties so recently won. The solution the Framers embraced was to diffuse the national governmental authority. Power was to be shared among separate institutions -- the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary - in order that no single branch could become so powerful as to threaten the liberties of the people. In our study of the allocation of authority in the Constitution, it is important to keep in mind the purpose of this allocation -- nothing less than the preserva- tion of liberty. The Framers looked primarily to the president to provide the critical element of "energy" in the government. The problem with the government of the Articles of Confederation had been that it was "destitute of energy." The Drafters of the Constitution redressed that problem by vesting "competent powers" in the executive to lead the Nation. The president's popular mandate justified this grant of authority. The president and the vice president are the only officials in our government elec- ted through a process involving all the voters. Only the president can claim to speak for all the people, because, as Hamilton wrote, his selection looks "in 1 the first instance to an immediate act of the people of America." The office of president has "a due dependence on the people, and a due responsibility." Perhaps the most pervasive responsibility of the president is to adminster the executive branch. The Framers were practical men who recognized, as Hamilton wrote, "that the true test of a good government is its aptitude and tendency to produce a good administration." The people look ultimately to the president to ensure the efficient performance of duty by the millions of federal employees scattred among the various departments and agencies. The challenge confronting the modern presidency is to "produce a good administration" when the federal establishment has grown so far beyond anything the framers could have imagined. It is an amazing fact that there are more federal employees today than people living in America when the Framers drafted the Constitution. Perhaps President George Washington could play an active role in supervising the details of the first administration, but it is now the responsibility of his successors to create mechanisms for the control and coordination of the executive branch. The president has no more important responsibility under the Constitution than the conduct of foreign affairs. The Framers recognized that of the two democratic branches, only the executive could successfully conduct foreign relations. Hamilton noted in his description of the executive that "Decision, activity, secrecy, and dispatch will generally characterize the proceedings of one man in a much more eminent degree than the proceedings of any greater number," and John Jay --- himself one of our most successful early diplomats - argued that "the President will find no difficulty to provide" those qualities, though they were beyond the capability of a basically deliberative body such as Congress. Apart from executive functions, the Constitution accords the president a significant role in the legislative process. The people have grown to expect 2 leadership from the president not only in executing the laws but also in presenting a legislative program to Congress for consideration. Perhaps the most prominent of the president's legislative powers is the qualified veto power. This power is qualified in the sense that a bill returned by the president with disapproval can nonetheless be enacted into law by a two- thirds vote of both houses. The Framers accorded the president a veto power for two reasons. First, they recognized the "propensity of the legislative depart- ment to intrude upon the rights, and to absorb the powers, of the other depart- ments" and provided the president a veto so that he could defend the preroga- tives of his office. The second purpose of the veto was as "an additional security against the enaction of improper laws." The powers of the presidency are limited, and the president discharges constitutional responsibilities in a system according other powers to the coor- dinate branches of the legislature and the judiciary. The members of all three branches take an oath to uphold the Constitution, and it is a monument not only to the genius of the Framers but also to the statesmanship of those who have held office under the Constitution that the system has worked as well as it has. Presidents have learned advisors at their disposal, and they can consult with Congress, but the difficult and potentially momentous decisions the Consti- tution vests in the executive are, in the final analysis, the president's alone. Our most tested president, Abraham Lincoln, announced a guide for making those decisions that has yet to be bettered: I desire so to conduct the affairs of this Administration that if, at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.

Fielding Counsel to the President FEDERALIST The White House PAPERS Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Fielding: Editorial Advisors Please forgive my delay in preparing a draft version of the Francis Carlevan Fordham University President's article, "The Presidency: Roles and Responsibili- ties," a copy of which I enclose. In cutting such a long article Don E. Fehrer bacher Stanford University to 800-odd words, it was necessary to discard much good material; what remains is the general treatment of the powers and duties of Suzanne Garment The was Street Josephan the presidential office. I hope that this draft will meet your approval. If there are particular things that in your opinion Francis surland The University of Charge should be included in the article, please feel free to suggest them; bearing in mind that the article is already somewhat over Claremont Graduate the word limit that National Forum has agreed to. Anica Evidenties We plan to send the President's article to our list of some 2100 small, community newspapers, and we will be happy to forward copies of the tearsheets we receive, if you wish to see them. We would like to send the article out November 27, if that schedule is not an inconvenience for you. Again, we are very pleased that we can include the President's article in our Bicentennial series. We are hopeful that the series can have the effect of reminding Americans of the principles of the Constitution's framers, and of the importance of maintaining the institutions the framers created. The President's article is an important contribution to that effort. Sincerely, PUBLIC RESEARCH. SYNDICATED 4650 Arrow Highway Suite D-7 Montclair. CAM1763 Jack Barlow (714) 621-5831 Editor 885 words THE PRESIDENCY: ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES by Ronald W. Reagan For nearly 200 years, the Constitution has endured with relatively few amendments as a blueprint for freedom. In commemorating the Bicentennial of the Constitution we celebrate not simply the historic event that took place in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787, but the process by which we govern ourselves today. There is no better time than this Bicentennial period to refamiliarize ourselves with the Constitution and rededicate ourselves to the values it embodies. The central challenge confronting the Framers of the Constitution was to create a strong national government that would not threaten the liberties SO recently won. The solution the Framers embraced was to diffuse the national governmental authority. Power was to be shared among separate institutions -- the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary - in order that no single branch could become so powerful as to threaten the liberties of the people. In our study of the allocation of authority in the Constitution, it is important to keep in mind the purpose of this allocation - nothing less than the preserva- tion of liberty. The Framers looked primarily to the president to provide the critical element of "energy" in the government. The problem with the government of the Articles of Confederation had been that it was "destitute of energy." The Drafters of the Constitution redressed that problem by vesting "competent powers" in the executive to lead the Nation. The president's popular mandate justified this grant of authority. The president and the vice president are the only officials in our government elec- ted through a process involving all the voters. Only the president can claim to speak for all the people, because, as Hamilton wrote, his selection looks "in 1 the first instance to an immediate act of the people of America." The office of president has "a due dependence on the people, and a due responsibility." Perhaps the most pervasive responsibility of the president is to adminster the executive branch. The Framers were practical men who recognized, as Hamilton wrote, "that the true test of a good government is its aptitude and tendency to produce a good administration." The people look ultimately to the president to ensure the efficient performance of duty by the millions of federal employees scattred among the various departments and agencies. The challenge confronting the modern presidency is to "produce a good administration" when the federal establishment has grown so far beyond anything the framers could have imagined. It is an amazing fact that there are more federal employees today than people living in America when the Framers drafted the Constitution. Perhaps President George Washington could play an active role in supervising the details of the first administration, but it is now the responsibility of his successors to create mechanisms for the control and coordination of the executive branch. The president has no more important responsibility under the Constitution than the conduct of foreign affairs. The Framers recognized that of the two democratic branches, only the executive could successfully conduct foreign relations. Hamilton noted in his description of the executive that "Decision, activity, secrecy, and dispatch will generally characterize the proceedings of one man in a much more eminent degree than the proceedings of any greater number," and John Jay -- himself one of our most successful early diplomats - argued that "the President will find no difficulty to provide" those qualities, though they were beyond the capability of a basically deliberative body such as Congress.

The New Federalist Papers project provides articles to newspapers across the country free of charge. Several articles from the National Forum edition have already been syndicated by The New Federalist Papers, including the Chief Justice's and the Speaker's, not to mention Dr. Mark Cannon's.

Fehrenbacher Stanford University 1984 National Forum as part of The New Federalist Papers. Suzanne Garment The Wall Street Journal The New Federalist Papers is the bicentennial project of Public Research, Syndicated, and is supported in part by Philip Kurland The University of Chicago a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The project began in January of 1984. Each month we Leonard W. Levy Claremont Graduate School syndicate six articles on constitutional themes to a nationwide audience. Two articles a month are sent, free Abigail Thernstram Twentieth Century Fund of charge, to more than two thousand small, community newspapers. A weekly article is sent to some one hundred daily papers. The articles examine the various provisions of the Constitution, as well as its historical roots, its political principles, and its meaning today. A distinguished roster of authors has contributed to the series, including Chief Justice Burger, former Attorney General Smith, Civil Rights Commission Chairman Clarence Pendleton, and former Senator Eugene McCarthy. From the scholarly community, we have had articles from Henry Steele Commager, Samuel Beer, Gordon S. Wood, Harry V. Jaffa, and many others. We hope the President will be willing to join this group.

We have already 4650 ARROW HIGHWAY syndicated articles by Dr. Cannon, Speaker of the House SUITE 'Neill, and Chief Justice Burger, and we plan to use two MONTCLAIR, CA 9176 or three more as well. We would excerpt about 800 words from the President's article; if we are given permission, we would plan to do the preliminary editing here and send it to you for approval. If, however, it would be preferable to have the editing done by someone on the staff there, we would certainly be open to such an arrangement. We offer an honorarium of $250. Both the legislative and the judicial branches have been represented in our series; I hope the President will be willing to join in this public celebration of the Constitution's bicentennial.
