FIELDING FROM: JOHN G. ROBERTS SUBJECT: Proposed Draft Letter from the President to Dr. Joao Havelange, President of the Federa- tion Internationale de Football Association Bill Sittmann has requested clearance of the above-referenced letter. The letter simply expresses the interest of the U.S. in hosting the World Cup and urges careful considera- tion of the U.S. Soccer Federation bid. The letter states that "the organizing committee will receive all necessary support." I do not think such a vague statement presents any difficulties. Nor do I see any objections to the President voicing support for the U.S. Soccer Federation bid, since the Federation is the only U.S. organization involved in this effort: there is no question of favoring one domestic organization over another.

I share your concerns about intrusions into state and local government autonomy. with regard to the Administration's position on the issue, at a recent cabinet meeting, I directed that we would support federal legislation which provides an exemption to federal anti- trust laws for local governments provided that two conditions are met: 1) local governments are acting under the authority of state law, and 2) localities are acting within their government (police power) capacity. I look forward to continuing to work with you and other National League of Cities officials on areas of mutual interest and concern.

Cieveland One immediate Past President Ferd L Harrison Mayor, Scotland Neck. North Carolina Executive Director The President Alan Beats The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: As a result of the Supreme Court's ruling in Community Communica- tions Co., Inc. V. City of Boulder, local governmental activities are now subject to scrutiny under the antitrust laws. At this time, more than eighty cities are involved in antitrust litigation in which the validity of basic local regulatory activities such as zoning, licensing, franchising, and waste disposal are challenged. These lawsuits and the threat of such lawsuits have made the implementation of public policy difficult and delayed the delivery of services to the public. It is our view that Congress, in enacting the antitrust laws, did not intend that activities of local governments would be covered by the antitrust laws. For almost ninety years, the courts treated municipalities as though they were immune from antitrust challenge. In fact, it was not until 1978 that the gradual erosion of municipal immunity began, culminating with the Court's 1982 ruling in the Boulder case that the activities of cities may be subject to antitrust scrutiny unless those activities were based on state law affirmatively authorizing the displacement of competition with local regulation or monopoly public service. Because of the devastating impact of Boulder ruling on local autonomy, we are pursuing a legislative solution to this problem. The Judiciary Committees in both the House and the Senate are expected to take this matter up in the near future. It is our hope that the Administration will provide support for our efforts. We believe that legislation to ensure the ability of cities to govern without fear of antitrust scrutiny is consistent with the Administration's interest in returning authority to the local level.

ROBERTS ord SUBJECT: Presidential Response to Letter from Jesse Jackson On May 23, 1983, Jesse Jackson wrote the President to protest the President's recent actions to replace certain personnel at the Civil Rights Commission. Late Friday, June 3, Mel Bradley advised our office that he wanted to clear a proposed Presidential reply by close of business. Richard Hauser and I edited the draft reply, which had been prepared by Mike Uhlmann, as indicated, and approved the reply as edited. The original draft was incorrect in stating that under the Administration bill the Commission would be an independent agency, and that the Commissioners would no longer serve at the pleasure of the President. Attachment Dear Reverend Jackson: Thank you for the opportunity to speak to your concerns regarding my recent nominations to the United States Civil Rights Commission. I share your view that the Commission must remain a bipartisan institution and that its members should be free at all times to speak their minds. The nominees I have selected for the staff director's post and membership on the Commission are persons of strong, independent views who have demonstrated over a long period a deep commitment to civil rights and the cause of equal justice under the law. None is a member of my own political party. None has been subjected to any sort of "test", as they made abundantly clear duringtheir press conference last week. If confirmed by the Senate, they will have complete freedom to carry out their duties under the law in accordance with the dictates of their the consciences. of the As you are aware, I have submitted to Congress legislation an which would place shomper the Commission on Civil Rights ecedented on the same footing with other independent federal commissions. years.

WYATT DORIS ZOLLAR PRC MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 8, 1983 MEMORANDUM FOR FRED F. FIELDING FROM: JOHN G. ROBERTS SUBJECT: Letter to Allen R. Jones for PROMOTE: America Campaign Allen Jones of Michael Baybak and Company, Inc., a public relations firm, is promoting a national campaign against pessimism called "Promote: America." Jones asks business- men to buy radio time and deliver up-beat editorial messages on the economic recovery. Jones organized a pilot program for his project in Chattanooga, and the Chattanooga radio station manager received a positive letter from the President on the program. Jones has now asked the President to send a letter to 5 million businessmen asking them to participate in Promote: America. The Correspondence and Private Sector Initiatives offices have collaborated on a response to Jones, not to the 5 million businessmen. The response stresses the optimistic spirit of Americans, commends those participating in Promote: America, and expresses hope for its success. I see no legal objection to the letter. It is bland and does not commit the President to anything. Jones will doubtless use the letter to advance his project, but the Office of Private Sector Initiatives has decided that Promote: America is worthy of the President's support, and I see no reason to second-guess that judgment. I also suspect that Jones contemplates using Promote: America to help his P.R. business, but nothing in the President's letter does SO.

We selected Chattanooga, Tennessee as our test market. We asked businessmen in Chattanooga to originate and air radio editorials encouraging a constructive attitude towards the future, and an aggressive defiance to the prophets of "doom & gloom." Each businessman solicited was asked to pay for his own air time and to record his own editorial.

FIELDING FROM: JOHN G. ROBERTS SUBJECT: Draft Telegram to Governor Harris of Georgia Richard Darman has asked for comments by 4:00 p.m. today on a draft telegram, proposed by Carlton Turner, from the President to Governor Harris of Georgia. Last week the federal government sprayed paraquat on marijuana fields in the Chattahoochee National Forest. The action prompted a lawsuit, and Judge Charles Moye issued an injunction banning further spraying in the area until a hearing could be held. Although no further spraying is planned for the forest, there are plans to spray in other states. Governor Harris has supported the spraying, and been criti- cized for it. Turner proposes to send a telegram to Harris from the President expressing appreciation for his support. I recommend advising against sending the telegram over the President's signature. The question of the use of paraquat for marijuana eradication is the subject of pending litiga- tion, and the President should not gratuitously become personally involved. If Turner believes a telegram is necessary it should be over his signature. Attachment MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON August 16, 1983 FOR: RICHARD G.

The spraying con- ducted last week in Georgia prompted the filing of a lawsuit and the issuance of a preliminary injunction. While we certainly do not mean to suggest that there is any merit to the lawsuit, the pendency of litigation counsels against involving the President directly and personally in the dispute.

Thank you. RESPONSE: 16 Richard G. Darman Assistant to the President Ext. 2702 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON August 16, 1983 MEMORANDUM FOR RICHARD G. DARMAN FROM: ROGER B. PORTER RBP SUBJECT: Draft Telegram from the President Attached is a draft telegram from the President to the Governor of Georgia thanking him for his support of our efforts to spray paraquat to eradicate cannabis (marijuana) on U.S. Forest Service lands in Georgia. Also attached is a memorandum from Carlton Turner which explains the current situation. Please process this for clearance and advise if there is any additional information you require. Carlton has requested the telegram be sent today. Please let me know if this is not possible. CC: Carlton Turner THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON August 16, 1983 MEMORANDUM FOR ROGER PORTER FROM: CARLTON TURNER SUBJECT: Draft Telegram from President Reagan Last Friday, August 12, 1983, the U.S. Forest Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration sprayed the herbicide paraquat on U.S. Forest Service land in Georgia where cannabis (marijuana) was being cultivated. The sites were evaluated according to the criteria set forth in the Environmental Impact Assessment, The issue has become quite controversial because of the sensation- alism triggered by the media and pro-drug organizations. Paraquat is a legal herbicide used regularly on agricultural land to control broad leaf weeds and to defoliate selected crops such as soy beans. When sprayed on these agricultural lands there is no issue made by the communities, media or pro-drug organizations. But when we spray paraquat on a field of cannabis, some individuals scream that they are being poisoned by the Federal Government. Governor Joe Frank Harris of Georgia has spoken strongly in favor of our spraying program and has received some criticism. We need his continued support, therefore, attached is a draft telegram from the President to Governor Harris thanking him and encouraging him to continue. Please process this for clearance. The telegram will have the greatest impact if it could be sent out today. Please let me know if you have any questions. August 16, 1983 The Honorable Joe Frank Harris Governor of Georgia State Capital Atlanta, Georgia 30334 Dear Governor Harris: Your strong support for the recent efforts to eradicate cannabis being grown in your state is very much appreciated. The dangers of marijuana and other illicit drugs are widely known and condemned. Stopping production is a valuable contribution to the health and well-being of our citizens, especially our youth. I support the eradication of cannabis wherever it is grown. By encouraging your citizens to support these eradication efforts, you are making a real contribution to the future of Georgia and of the United States. Sincerely, Ronald Reagan THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 25, 1983 MEMORANDUM FOR FRED F. FIELDING FROM: JOHN G. ROBERTS 820 SUBJECT: Jimmy Stewart Request By letter dated October 10 Jimmy Stewart asked the President to serve on the Orme School Advisory Council.. The Orme School is a highly-regarded private prep school in Mayer, Arizona, which Stewart's son Ron attended. The purpose of the Advisory Council is to promote a capital campaign by the school. Those agreeing to serve on the Advisory Council expressly permit their names to be listed on a letterhead that will be used in the fundraising efforts. Presidential Correspondence referred the matter to Kathy Osborne, and Osborne sent it along to us. She advised that the President thinks he should respond personally. The President should not accept Stewart's invitation to serve on the Advisory Council. Stewart explicitly recognizes that the school simply wants to use the President's name to promote its fundraising efforts. Such activity is unfair to similarly situated schools and other non-profit organizations that do not have Stewart's access to the President, and is ultimately demeaning to the Office, using it as a huckster's ploy. Agreeing to Stewart's request would also associate the President with an organization about which we know little and the activities of which are beyond our control. The risk of embarrassment is intolerably high. I have drafted a transmittal memorandum for Osborne and, in light of the President's expressed wishes, a proposed reply for his signature.

I would normally be delighted to serve on any group chaired by you. In this instance, however, my lawyers advise me that the responsibilities of office preclude my accepting your gracious invitation. From the earliest days of my Administration we have been compelled to adhere to a policy of declining requests that I become involved in private fundraising efforts. As you might imagine, we receive countless such requests from worthy charities or other organizations. Since I cannot possibly accept them all, it seemed to me that the only fair thing to do was to adopt a policy of not participating in any private fundraising. I am also advised that my participation could create problems, both real and apparent, with respect to any dealings the Orme School might have with the federal government. I trust you will understand not only the reasons I must decline your request but also how difficult it is for me to do SO. I take considerable comfort in the knowledge that, given its choice for Chairman of the Advisory Council, the Orme School is already well on its way to achieving its goals.

In addition to having been a member of the Honorary Board of Trustees for some time, I agreed several years ago to be Honorary Chairman of an effort to increase substantially the School's endowment. This Endowment Program was designed to be long range, but within its time frame a short Capital Campaign has been planned for which an Advisory Council of well known people is needed. I have agreed to chairing the Advisory Council and I would appreciate your serving with me. Members of the Advisory Council would only be asked to lend their name to the School's effort by allowing it to appear on a letterhead with mine and on occasion signing approved letters prepared by the School Development Office. I hope you will agree with me that The Orme School has rendered important service to youth over the years; now, with American education at such a critical point, the School and its philosophy are more essential than ever in the process of restoring health to our educational system. As a testamentary to Orme's outstanding quality, I enclose a selection from a recent publication listing what it considers the best American boarding schools. You will note that Orme appears toward the bottom of the page under the cover sheet with the old, long established schools. Please mark the enclosed card and return it soon. I do hope you will serve with me. Warm regards, Juny

North Carolina\nExecutive Director\nThe President\nAlan Beats\nThe White House\n1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.\nWashington, DC 20500\nDear Mr. President:\nAs a result of the Supreme Court's ruling in Community Communica-\ntions Co., Inc. V. City of Boulder, local governmental activities\nare now subject to scrutiny under the antitrust laws. At this\ntime, more than eighty cities are involved in antitrust\nlitigation in which the validity of basic local regulatory\nactivities such as zoning, licensing, franchising, and waste\ndisposal are challenged. These lawsuits and the threat of such\nlawsuits have made the implementation of public policy difficult\nand delayed the delivery of services to the public.\nIt is our view that Congress, in enacting the antitrust laws, did\nnot intend that activities of local governments would be covered\nby the antitrust laws. For almost ninety years, the courts\ntreated municipalities as though they were immune from antitrust\nchallenge. In fact, it was not until 1978 that the gradual\nerosion of municipal immunity began, culminating with the Court's\n1982 ruling in the Boulder case that the activities of cities may\nbe subject to antitrust scrutiny unless those activities were\nbased on state law affirmatively authorizing the displacement of\ncompetition with local regulation or monopoly public service.\nBecause of the devastating impact of Boulder ruling on local\nautonomy, we are pursuing a legislative solution to this problem.\nThe Judiciary Committees in both the House and the Senate are\nexpected to take this matter up in the near future. It is our\nhope that the Administration will provide support for our\nefforts. We believe that legislation to ensure the ability of\ncities to govern without fear of antitrust scrutiny is consistent\nwith the Administration's interest in returning authority to the\nlocal level.\nPast Presidents: Tom Bradley Mayor Los Angeles, California William H.

Late Friday, June\n3, Mel Bradley advised our office that he wanted to clear a\nproposed Presidential reply by close of business. Richard\nHauser and I edited the draft reply, which had been prepared\nby Mike Uhlmann, as indicated, and approved the reply as\nedited. The original draft was incorrect in stating that\nunder the Administration bill the Commission would be an\nindependent agency, and that the Commissioners would no\nlonger serve at the pleasure of the President.\nAttachment\nDear Reverend Jackson:\nThank you for the opportunity to speak to your concerns\nregarding my recent nominations to the United States Civil\nRights Commission.

None has been\nsubjected to any sort of \"test\", as they made abundantly clear\nduringtheir press conference last week.

Jones\nfor PROMOTE: America Campaign\nAllen Jones of Michael Baybak and Company, Inc., a public\nrelations firm, is promoting a national campaign against\npessimism called \"Promote: America.\" Jones asks business-\nmen to buy radio time and deliver up-beat editorial messages\non the economic recovery. Jones organized a pilot program\nfor his project in Chattanooga, and the Chattanooga radio\nstation manager received a positive letter from the President\non the program. Jones has now asked the President to send a\nletter to 5 million businessmen asking them to participate\nin Promote: America.\nThe Correspondence and Private Sector Initiatives offices\nhave collaborated on a response to Jones, not to the 5\nmillion businessmen. The response stresses the optimistic\nspirit of Americans, commends those participating in Promote:\nAmerica, and expresses hope for its success. I see no legal\nobjection to the letter. It is bland and does not commit\nthe President to anything. Jones will doubtless use the\nletter to advance his project, but the Office of Private\nSector Initiatives has decided that Promote: America is\nworthy of the President's support, and I see no reason to\nsecond-guess that judgment. I also suspect that Jones\ncontemplates using Promote: America to help his P.R.\nbusiness, but nothing in the President's letter does SO.\nAttachment\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nJune 8, 1983\nMEMORANDUM FOR ANNE HIGGINS\nMICHAEL P.

Last week the\nfederal government sprayed paraquat on marijuana fields in\nthe Chattahoochee National Forest. The action prompted a\nlawsuit, and Judge Charles Moye issued an injunction banning\nfurther spraying in the area until a hearing could be held.\nAlthough no further spraying is planned for the forest,\nthere are plans to spray in other states.\nGovernor Harris has supported the spraying, and been criti-\ncized for it. Turner proposes to send a telegram to Harris\nfrom the President expressing appreciation for his support.\nI recommend advising against sending the telegram over the\nPresident's signature. The question of the use of paraquat\nfor marijuana eradication is the subject of pending litiga-\ntion, and the President should not gratuitously become\npersonally involved.

Please let me\nknow if this is not possible.\nCC: Carlton Turner\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nAugust 16, 1983\nMEMORANDUM FOR ROGER PORTER\nFROM:\nCARLTON TURNER\nSUBJECT:\nDraft Telegram from President Reagan\nLast Friday, August 12, 1983, the U.S. Forest Service and the\nDrug Enforcement Administration sprayed the herbicide paraquat on\nU.S. Forest Service land in Georgia where cannabis (marijuana)\nwas being cultivated. The sites were evaluated according to the\ncriteria set forth in the Environmental Impact Assessment, The\nissue has become quite controversial because of the sensation-\nalism triggered by the media and pro-drug organizations.\nParaquat is a legal herbicide used regularly on agricultural land\nto control broad leaf weeds and to defoliate selected crops such\nas soy beans. When sprayed on these agricultural lands there is\nno issue made by the communities, media or pro-drug\norganizations. But when we spray paraquat on a field of\ncannabis, some individuals scream that they are being poisoned by\nthe Federal Government.\nGovernor Joe Frank Harris of Georgia has spoken strongly in favor\nof our spraying program and has received some criticism. We need\nhis continued support, therefore, attached is a draft telegram\nfrom the President to Governor Harris thanking him and\nencouraging him to continue.\nPlease process this for clearance. The telegram will have the\ngreatest impact if it could be sent out today. Please let me\nknow if you have any questions.\nAugust 16, 1983\nThe Honorable Joe Frank Harris\nGovernor of Georgia\nState Capital\nAtlanta, Georgia 30334\nDear Governor Harris:\nYour strong support for the recent efforts to eradicate cannabis\nbeing grown in your state is very much appreciated.\nThe dangers of marijuana and other illicit drugs are widely known\nand condemned. Stopping production is a valuable contribution to\nthe health and well-being of our citizens, especially our youth.\nI support the eradication of cannabis wherever it is grown. By\nencouraging your citizens to support these eradication efforts,\nyou are making a real contribution to the future of Georgia and\nof the United States.\nSincerely,\nRonald Reagan\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nOctober 25, 1983\nMEMORANDUM FOR FRED F. FIELDING\nFROM:\nJOHN G. ROBERTS 820\nSUBJECT:\nJimmy Stewart Request\nBy letter dated October 10 Jimmy Stewart asked the President\nto serve on the Orme School Advisory Council.. The Orme\nSchool is a highly-regarded private prep school in Mayer,\nArizona, which Stewart's son Ron attended. The purpose of\nthe Advisory Council is to promote a capital campaign by the\nschool. Those agreeing to serve on the Advisory Council\nexpressly permit their names to be listed on a letterhead\nthat will be used in the fundraising efforts.\nPresidential Correspondence referred the matter to Kathy\nOsborne, and Osborne sent it along to us. She advised that\nthe President thinks he should respond personally.\nThe President should not accept Stewart's invitation to\nserve on the Advisory Council. Stewart explicitly\nrecognizes that the school simply wants to use the\nPresident's name to promote its fundraising efforts. Such\nactivity is unfair to similarly situated schools and other\nnon-profit organizations that do not have Stewart's access\nto the President, and is ultimately demeaning to the Office,\nusing it as a huckster's ploy. Agreeing to Stewart's\nrequest would also associate the President with an\norganization about which we know little and the activities\nof which are beyond our control. The risk of embarrassment\nis intolerably high. I have drafted a transmittal\nmemorandum for Osborne and, in light of the President's\nexpressed wishes, a proposed reply for his signature.\nAttachment\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nOctober 25, 1983\nMEMORANDUM FOR KATHLEEN OSBORNE\nPERSONAL SECRETARY TO THE PRESIDENT\nFROM:\nFRED F.

As you might imagine, we receive\ncountless such requests from worthy charities or other\norganizations.

In addition to having been a member of the Honorary\nBoard of Trustees for some time, I agreed several years ago\nto be Honorary Chairman of an effort to increase substantially\nthe School's endowment.\nThis Endowment Program was designed to be long range, but\nwithin its time frame a short Capital Campaign has been planned\nfor which an Advisory Council of well known people is needed.\nI have agreed to chairing the Advisory Council and I would\nappreciate your serving with me.\nMembers of the Advisory Council would only be asked to lend\ntheir name to the School's effort by allowing it to appear on\na letterhead with mine and on occasion signing approved letters\nprepared by the School Development Office.\nI hope you will agree with me that The Orme School has\nrendered important service to youth over the years; now, with\nAmerican education at such a critical point, the School and its\nphilosophy are more essential than ever in the process of\nrestoring health to our educational system.\nAs a testamentary to Orme's outstanding quality, I enclose\na selection from a recent publication listing what it considers\nthe best American boarding schools. You will note that Orme\nappears toward the bottom of the page under the cover sheet\nwith the old, long established schools.\nPlease mark the enclosed card and return it soon. I do hope\nyou will serve with me.\nWarm regards,\nJuny"
