MEMORANDUM FOR FRED F. FIELDING

JOHN G. ROBERTS ord
SUBJECT:
Draft Response to Congressman Dan Daniel
Regarding Olympic Parchments
You will recall that on February 13 you advised B Oglesby
that we had no legal objection to having the President and
the First Lady sign ceremonial pledges of support for the
1984 Olympics and the U.S. Olympic Team. Congressman Daniel
requested the signatures at the behest of M & M Mars, an
Olympics sponsor and the company behind the plan to obtain
millions of signatures to such pledges from across the
country. Your memorandum insisted that Daniel be reminded
in writing that the documents or the fact that the Reagans
signed them may not be used in any promotional activity by
M & M Mars.
Oglesby has now submitted a draft letter to Daniel,
containing the caveat required by our memorandum. I have
no objection; a draft to Oglesby is attached.

Dear Dan:
Thanks for your letter of January 25 requesting the
signatures of the President and First Lady on two parchment
documents to show support for the 1984 Olympics and our
olympic teams.
I am pleased to return the signed parchments, but I must
emphasize that the documents themselves or the fact that they bear
the Reagans' signatures may not be used in any way in advertising
by M&M Mars or any other promotional activity to benefit M&M Mars.
I'm glad that we were able to be of assistance, and hope that
the parchments will be helpful.

COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT:
Request by Congressman Daniel That
The President and Mrs. Reagan Sign
Olympics Statement
You have asked for our views on Congressman Dan Daniel's
request that the President and the First Lady sign parchment
documents submitted by Daniel pledging their support for the
1984 Olympics and the U.S. Olympic Team. Conversations
between my staff and that of Congressman Daniel have
established that the signatures are sought as part of an
effort by Olympics sponsor M & M Mars Company to obtain
signatures to the pledge from citizens across the country.
The signatures are to be presented on opening day by the
Jaycees and the U.S. Olympic Committee to the U.S. Team.
M & M Mars has agreed to donate $0.10 to the U.S. Olympic
Committee for every signature obtained.
We have no objection to the President and the First Lady
signing the documents, provided that Congressman Daniel is
reminded, in writing when the documents are delivered to
him, that the documents themselves or the fact that the
Reagans signed them may not be used in any way in adver-
tising by M & M Mars or any other promotional activity to
benefit M & M Mars.

Dear "B".
Here is a parchment document which I would
appreciate your having the President and Mrs. Reagan
sign. It will be used on opening day of the 1984
Olympics to show their support of our teams.
When I visited the President along with the
M&M Mars people a couple of months ago I mentioned
these documents to him and he asked that they be sent
along for their signatures.
Thank you very much, and I shall appreciate
your returning them to Vivian Anderson in my office at
the earliest convenient time.
With kind regards and best wishes,
Very sincerely,
Dan Dan Daniel

MEMORANDUM FOR FRED F. FIELDING
FROM:
JOHN G. ROBERTS /s/
SUBJECT:
Letter of February 16, 1984 From
Citizens for America Regarding Note
From President Reagan for Support
Darman has asked for our views as soon as possible on a
request from Lew Lehrman that the President assist his
501 (c) (4) organization, Citizens for America, with its
fundraising activities. Lehrman asks for a note of support
from the President, to be included in invitations to three
fundraisers Citizens for America plans to hold in the
spring. He also suggests a Rose Garden reception in
conjunction with a fundraiser scheduled for May here in
Washington.
As you explained in your February 8 memorandum to Darman,
Citizens for America is not subject to the restrictions on
communications with independent expenditure committees
outlined in your January 31 memorandum to the White House
staff. As you advised Darman, however, there is the danger
that someone may allege that Citizens for America is, in
fact, a political committee affiliated with Reagan-Bush '84.
Participation by the President in fundraising for Citizens
for America at this time would significantly heighten that
danger. Accordingly, I recommend that the President not
participate in the fundraising. This is consistent with our
general policy, as evidenced by our recent letter to General
Graham, chastizing him for using a letter from the President
in connection with fundraising for High Frontier. It is
also in accord with the decision by Reagan-Bush '84 not to
participate in any fundraising for 501 (c) (4) organizations.
I think it would be very awkward for the President to aid
Citizens for America in the face of this general policy
decision by his authorized campaign committee.

SUBJECT:
Letter of February 16, 1984 From
Citizens For America Regarding Note
From President Reagan for Support
You have asked for our views as soon as possible on Lew
Lehrman's request that the President assist in fundraising
efforts on behalf of Citizens for America, by sending a note
of support to be included in invitations to three scheduled
fundraisers and by hosting a Rose Garden reception in
connection with a fundraiser in Washington.
It is our general policy that the President not participate
in fundraising by 501 (c) (3) organizations or 501 (c) (4)
organizations such as Citizens for America. This policy is
necessary in light of the vast number of requests that the
President receives, and because of the inability of the
White House to monitor fundraising, which would be necessary
to some extent were the President to lend his name to any
particular function.
Particular problems associated with this request counsel
adherence to our general policy. As I noted in my
memorandum to you of February 8, 1984, Citizens for America
is not subject to the restrictions on communication that
apply to independent expenditure committees, although there
is the danger that someone might allege that Citizens for
America is not a 501 (c) (4) organization but a political
committee affiliated with Reagan-Bush '84. That danger
would be considerably heightened were the President to
participate in fundraising for Citizens for America at this
time.
In addition, Reagan-Bush '84 has adopted a general policy of
not participating in fundraisers for 501 (c) (4) organiza-
tions. I think it would be awkward for the President to act
contrary to the decision of his authorized campaign commit-
tee by engaging in fundraising activities for Citizens for
America.

a supportive letter from a hospital bed, enclosing a $100
bill. On May 4, Anne Higgins responded, thanking Ballou for
his comments but returning the "monetary item." Ballou now
states that he never received the reply, and believes it was
stolen at the hospital. He now would like a copy of the
May 4 reply.

RE:
Mr. John Ballou
Attached is background information on a request from Mr. John
Ballou of the Bronx, New York, for a copy of the response sent
to him by the White House over the signature of the Director
of Correspondence on May 4, 1982. The request is unusual and
has no precendent in policies established by this office in the
past. Mr. Ballou indicates (after almost two years) that he
did not receive a response from the White House and that, there-
fore, his money was not returned. Our records show that the
attached letter was sent from the White House on May 4, 1982.
Mr. Ballou stated his belief that the letter was intercepted
at the hospital in which he was at that time convalescing and
the money stolen (it was a $100 bill according to our records).
We have on occasion sent letters to respond to requests for
corrections on originals, but in such cases we require the
return of the uncorrected original prior to making changes. No
requests of this kind have been received heretofore.
Accordingly, we ask your guidance on the advisability of
obliging Mr. Ballou's request in this manner. Thank you for
your review.

John Ballou mailed the President a $100 bill
in April 1982 from his hospital bed where
he was recuperating from a stab wound.
A letter returning the money left the White
House the following May, but it was never
received (probably due to theft). Mr. Ballou,
a strong support of RR, now requests a copy of
the original letter for a keepsake. May we
comply with his wish?

Your words of encouragement mean a great deal to President
Reagan. He counts on your friendship and appreciates the
spirit of cooperation in which your comments were made.

MEMORANDUM FOR FRED F. FIELDING
FROM:
JOHN G. ROBERTSOR
SUBJECT:
Request for Presidential Letter
for the Book in Honor of Mother
M. Angeline Teresa
Chuck Donovan of Presidential Correspondence has asked for
our views on a request, transmitted through Charles Wick,
that the President submit a letter for inclusion in a book
in honor of Mother M. Angeline Teresa, the founder of a
congregation of nuns who care for the aged and infirm. In
her request the author, Mother M. Bernadette de Lourdes,
notes that the congregation operates 31 nursing homes caring
for seven thousand individuals. She also notes that past
Presidents have sent letters for inclusion in other books
she has written for the congregation. A draft prepared by
USIA is also attached.
Normally, of course, we would deny such a request, on the
ground that the Presidential letter could be construed as
endorsement of a commercial product, the book. Here,
however, it is clear that the book is more a testimonial
than a commercial undertaking, and that its circulation will
be by distribution throughout the congregation rather than
by any significant marketing. Accordingly, I have no
objection to a letter from the President praising Mother
Teresa, as the submitted draft does. The only change in the
draft I would suggest is deleting "Christian" in the second
paragraph, to maintain a non-denominational tone.

Request for Presidential Letter
for the Book in Honor of Mother

You have asked for our views on a request that the President
submit a letter for inclusion in a book on Mother M. Angeline
Teresa. We generally deny such requests, to avoid the
impression that the President has endorsed a commercial
product, the book. In this case, however, it appears that
the commercial aspects of the book are insignificant, and
accordingly we have no objection to a Presidential letter
about Mother Teresa. The draft submitted by USIA is unobjec-
tionable, although we do recommend deleting "Christian" in
the second paragraph, to maintain a non-denominational tone.

Dear Ms. Higgins:
Attached for your information, is a letter of January 19
which I received from Mother Bernadette concerning a
request for a letter from the President for the book in
honor of Mother M. Angeline Teresa, O. Carm (Tab A).
I have also attached a draft letter from the President for
the book (Tab B). As you can see from Mother Bernadette's
letter, this is something that previous Presidents have
done before.
Your consideration of this request is most appreciated.
Best wishes.
Sincerely,
Charles Z. Wick

Mr. Charles Z. Wick
Director, United States Information Agency
The USIA Building, Suite 800
Washington, D.C. 20547
Dear Mr. Wick:
I am not sure if I told you that I have been writing the
story of Mother M. Angeline Teresa, .Carm., who founded
our Congregation. At the present time I am in copy-editing
and I am eager to move as quickly as possible to publishing.
Because of the fact that Mother founded a Congregation to
care for the aged and infirm in 1929 which was very
successful in promoting the quality of life for older persons
this book will be of interest to a large reading audience.
We have thirty-one homes located in different cities and
states. We care for approximately seven thousand ladies,
gentlemen and married couples each day in our long-term
care facilities. These include different kinds of care:
health, residential hotel, housing, etc., and non-resident
services.
I would appreciate it very much if you would obtain for me
a letter from our President-your good friend, Mr. Ronald
Reagan, for the front of the book. In any past publications
for the Community that I was responsible for I included a
letter from the then President. And, since this book is a
biography of our Foundress and a brief history of each of
our homes for older persons it will have a wide circulation
as our homes are located in several states. I therefore
think it is extremely important at this time that this book
have a letter from our President. I know you are well aware
of the need for adequate and satisfactory services and care
for our aging Americans SO I will not belabor the point.
For your information I am enclosing the table of contents
for the book and a list of the States and number of homes
in each of them.

Mr. Charles Z. Wick
Knowing how involved you are as Director of an International
Agency I hesitate to impose on your time. However, I know
you are the person who can do this and knowing you in years
long past I do not hesitate to ask you.
Please remember me to Mrs. Wick, Douglas and all your
family.
With every best personal wish and in anticipation of your
response, I am
Mother Gratefully and sincerely

Dear Mother Bernadette:
I am proud to be among those asked to honor Mother M.
Angeline Teresa, O. Carm. with a contribution to this
book a tribute to her life and selfless example.
she founded in 1929
the founding Congregation to care for the aged and infirm. in
Mother Teresa was a woman of vision and dedication, ao witnessed by
1929 The congregation has grown into 31 homes across our
now
nation offering Christian companionship as well as care
facilities to eur older Americans.
thousands of
Currently, with medical science increasing our lifespan,
the Carmelite homes have enabled approximately seven
thousand older Americans to enjoy Christian fellowship in
a vast range of care facilities.
Sincerely,
Ronald W. Reagan
T3
We are all conscious of the variety of social and medical
services required by the elderly, but it is easy to forget
that their needs also have an emotional and spiritual dimen-
sion. Improving the quality of life for older Americans
requires attention to these needs as well. That is why the
work of Mother Teresa is SO important. and why it will con
tinue to inspire both those who follow in her footsteps and
the people they serve.
Fly God richly blessed the life of Mother M. Angeline Teresa,
and that blessing is being passed on through the charity

firm. From her story, we can all draw lessons about the
lives of service to which we are called.
