SITTMANN Special Assistant to the President I. PURPOSE Photo opportunity with: Hector Camacho World Boxing Commission - Super Featherweight Champion II. BACKGROUND Hector Camacho, a three-time Golden Gloves champion, has become one of the most exciting boxers in the fight game since his tussle with the law. His climb toward the top culminated with a stunning fifth-round knockout of Rafael (Bazooka) Limon for the World Boxing Commission 130-pound title. The ring raised Camacho's ring record to 22-0, including 13 knockouts. III. PARTICIPANTS Hector Camacho IV. PRESS PLAN White House Photographers ATTACHMENT Biography 9/22 ADOND ONE PRODUCTIONS, INC. 585 STEWART AVENUE, GARDEN CITY, N.Y. 11530 516-222-0790 BABY FACE CAMACHO IS ALL GROWNUP IN RING Baby face Hector Camacho could have wound up on a slab like the notorious bank robber and killer of the 1930's, Baby Face Nelson, if life's direction had not taken the brawling New Yorker into the boxing ring. Instead, he's sitting atop the fistic world as the WBC Super Featherweight champion. Camacho was well on the road to a career of crime as a young teenager. He was busted for stealing a car and spent three-and-a-half months on Rikers Island, off Manhattan, until a little positive thinking convinced the law system to lend some leniency to a good-looking kid anxious to atone for his sins. Camacho, a three-time Golden Gloves champion, has become one of the most exciting boxers in the fight game since that tussle with the law. His climb toward the top culminated with a stunning fifth-round knockout of Rafael (Bazooka) Limon for the WBC 130-pound title. The ring raised Camacho's ring record to 22-0, including 13 knockouts. The curly-haired Camacho captivates boxing fans with his whirlwind, non-stop style - - as evidenced by his destruction of Johnny Sato on Aug. 29 at the Sands Hotel, when he scored a fourth-round knockout over his then sixth-ranked opponent. A product of New York City's Spanish-Harlem, 21-year-old Hector Camacho has become the scourge of his division. Former World Welterweight Champion Sugar Ray Leonard calls Camacho "not only quick, but accurate. One day he might succeed me as champion if he straightens up and overcomes his personal problems." - more - HECTOR CAMACHO - 2 Camacho assures all listeners that his prison days are over and all he desires is an opportunity to whip the best in his class. Jeff Levine, president of Round One Productions, has had his hands full trying to entice top-notch fighters to agree to a match with the "Macho Man." "We've made bonafide offers to several of the ranked fighters in Hector's weight class and to many in the lightweight division," says Levine. "Cornelius Boza-Edwards, Rolando Navarrate and Hilmer Kenty all turned us down. Hector is willing to fight anyone, but there aren't any takers." Camacho, who discovered that "boxing gave me something to keep my mind occupied" and got him off the ghetto streets, won his first Golden Gloves title at age 15 and hoped to emulate Sugar Ray Leonard by winning an Olympic title. Russia's invasion of Afghanistan so infuriated President Carter that he refused to allow United States participation in the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. Perhaps this disappointment lessened some of Camacho's desire for an Olympic Trials title, for he was beaten in the Trial semifinals. In December, 1981, Camacho outpointed Blaine Dickson to win the North American Boxing Federation super featherweight title and intends to use his "God-given talent" to wear many more championship belts. In his last three bouts, Camacho proved he can assume the role of either devastating puncher or talented boxer. On February 12, 1983, Camacho travelled all the way to Anchorage, Alaska, for what turned out to be a 74-second knockout of highly-regarded lightweight John Montes. With one swift, well-timed blow, Camacho sent Montes to the canvas for the 10-count. - more - HECTOR CAMACHO - 3 Against Cubanito Perez, on April 3, Camacho cleverly avoided his opponent's much vaunted right-hand punching power on the way to an easy one-sided decision. Camacho's ability to adapt in the ring has made him an extremely difficult target for foes. And in his title-winning fight with Limon, Camacho was both hard-hitting and hard-to-hit. Macho Man figures to continue this eye-popping routine against whatever opponents stand in his way. After all, he's already beaten his toughest opposition - himself. # # # Howard CAMACHO hele H ector (Macho) Camacho never lived first he likely will put his title on the line Limon certainly found out who and up to his nickname better than he against Puerto Rico's Wilfredo Gomez, a what the Macho Man is.

"Everything's on schedule," he said before the fight. "I just developed into a fighter faster than anyone thought possi- ble. I started doing things that veterans haven't done. From then on I just showed the world. They remembered my name-Macho Camacho! Macho Cama- cho!' They remembered my style. I couldn't be stopped." Certainly not by Limon, ranked No. 3 going in, and probably not by any of the other top WBC contenders, either. As champion, Bobby Chacon twice avoided mandatory defenses against Camacho, the last dodge causing the WBC to strip him of the title, thus creating the vacancy. "Anyway, Chacon and Limon have fought so many times [four, with Chacon winning twice, Limon once, and one draw] that beating Limon's like beating Chacon," Camacho said. Rafael Solis, now the No. 1 contender, and Cornelius Boza-Edwards, No. 4, don't have the tal- ent, style or charisma to match Camacho, who is now 22-0 overall and 7-0 on CBS. Camacho earned a reported $150,000 for his destruction of Limon, but the big- money fights will come when he gains weight. He could easily move up to 135 pounds for fights against either of the lightweight champions, Ray Mancini (WBA) or Edwin Rosario (WBC).

MAROON AND EDWARD L. BEACH DATE: SEPTEMBER 22, 1983, Thursday LOCATION: OVAL OFFICE TIME: 4:30 p.m. e.s.t. FROM: MICHAEL A. W. EVANS MAWE I.

SEQUENCE OF EVENTS Five minutes in the Oval Office. Mr. Maroon and Mr. Beach will present the President with a copy of " KEPPERS OF THE SEA ". EDWARD L. BEACH A BIOGRAPHY Edward L. Beach, a "navy junior", began his professional writing career while still in high school, carrying on a tradition set by his father. Through the years, he has written prolifically about naval subjects, but is probably best known for his war novels. The first, Run Silent, Run Deep, was made into a popular motion picture by United Artists. His critically acclaimed Dust on the Sea followed, and Cold is the Sea earned him a lasting respect and popularity as a novelist. Beach has also achieved wide recognition as a writer of nonfiction. His gripping account of the circumnavigation of the world by a nuclear sub- marine under his command, Around the World Submerged, was published in 1962, and has been excerpted in numerous magazines and anthologies. His articles have appeared in some of this country's leading publications. A much-decorated combat veteran, Captain Beach had a long and distin- guished career in the U.S. Navy. Upon graduation from the Naval Academy in 1939, he served in a destroyer in the Atlantic until 1941, when he was trans- ferred to submarines. By 1945 he had command of a submarine, in which he made his way across the Pacific to penetrate Tsushima Strait just as the war ended. His shore billets included service on the personal staff of General Omar Bradley, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and as a naval aide to President Dwight D. Eisenhower. An ardent supporter of nuclear technology, Beach was picked by Admiral Hyman C. Rickover to command the biggest submarine built at the time, the Triton. Captain Beach retired from the navy in 1966 to become a professor at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. He left that post for Capitol Hill where, for seven and a half years, he was staff director of the Senate Repub- lican Policy Committee. A resident of the nation's capital, he lives only a few doors away from his collaborator Maroon, and remains active both on the Hill and in the naval community where he is frequently called upon for advice and speaking engagements. He is currently hard at work completing his long- projected history of the U.S. Navy. FRED J. MAROON A BIOGRAPHY Fred J. Maroon is a highly respected photographer whose work is featured in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. His photographs have been exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington and the Nikon House Gallery in New York, as well as in many exhibitions that have traveled throughout this country and abroad. Almost every popular American magazine on the newsstand today has featured his work. His photographic advertisements for automobiles, airlines, and hotels are familiar to thousands. He has won first prize, on four occasions, in the coveted White House 'News Photographers Association's annual competition, and he has been awarded gold medals from the Art Director's Club of Washington and the Art Director's Club of New York. Maroon has published four books of which he is the co-author as well as photographer: Washington: Magnificent Capital, Courage and Hesitation, These United States, and most recently his stunningly successful The Egypt Story, now available in four languages. Photographs from These United States were exhibited worldwide during America's bicentennial. A native of New Jersey, Maroon spent three years in the navy in World War II. Originally trained as an architect, he studied at L'Ecole Superieure CATHOLIC des Beaux Arts in Paris after graduating from University and prac- ticed architecture in New York City and Washington, before embarking on a rewarding career as a free-lance photographer more than thirty years ago. Known for his enthusiasm and thoroughness with which he undertakes pro- jects, Maroon virtually "re-enlisted" in the U.S. Navy to assure himself that the photographs presented in this latest book captured all phases of America's navy. When not roaming the globe on assignment, Maroon can be found busy at work in the sky-lighted studio of. his Georgetown home in Washington, D.C.

I just couldn't pass up the chance to come by and say hello. It's particularly appropriate for you to be meeting at this time since this is "American Business Women's Day." As some of the most prominent women in communications, you are outstanding examples of how high talented, hardworking women can climb in our society. And, of course, as established professionals in your own right, your effect and influence are immeasurable. And that brings me to the second reason I wanted to come by. You are all part of one of the newest and most exciting industries in the world. As I look out at you, I feel a very special attachment, because, as you may know, I had the chance to share in the excitement of the broadcasting industry in its earliest days. They were so early, in fact, that I won't go into details. But, we really believe in this Administration that your industry has enormous potential for good; that's why we want to decrease Government interference so it will grow bigger and better and enrich the lives of the American people by giving them more and more choices for entertainment, news, and other services. 8:08 Page 2 In this connection, I want to thank Mark Fowler and Mimi Dawson for working with you and your president, Jerry Warrick-Crisman in sponsoring this symposium - it's another example of a private sector initiative working in successful partnership with the public sector. I'm certain the exchanges that take place between today and tomorrow will result in advances not only in the traditional communications areas but in new services and technologies as well. So, you have my very best wishes for a successful conference. And I hope you'll accept from an old broadcaster, personal best wishes to each of you in your careers.

(Rohrabacher/BE) September 21, 1983 4:00 p.m. PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: RECEPTION FOR SMITHSONIAN NATIONAL BOARD MEMBERS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1983 Dr. Ripley, thank you for those remarks and thank all of you for being here today. You represent a spirit of citizen involvement in the arts that has meant so much to our country. Our citizens have always known that if the arts and culture were to flourish, the people themselves would have to get involved. We've had great individuals like Andrew Mellon -- a man who contributed so much in industry and Government -- who understood this and acted to meet the cultural needs of America. He knew as did many other great industrialists that America cannot be a great nation only by producing the most wealth. Last year private giving to the arts and humanities amounted to almost $5 billion, a 6 percent increase above the 1981 level. And that, of course, doesn't include the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Business and corporations are playing an important role. Over 12 percent of all contributions by businesses go to the arts and culture. This individual giving, rather than a total reliance on Government, permits the people of America to play a personal role in directing the artistic development of our country. I know that each of you has taken a personal interest in the Smithsonian and that this great national institution could not fill its mission without your assistance. This year, I understand that thanks to your direct support the Smithsonian was able to obtain a pair of Shinto sculptures for the Freer Gallery Page 2 and a Carl Milles sculpture for the Hirshhorn. Also due to your efforts, the National Portrait Gallery obtained a glass plate negative of Abraham Lincoln by Alexander Gardner. These and many more projects over the years have added new depth to the Smithsonian, and all of you can be very proud of being part of a very special team. I know that you have also contributed to the construction fund for the Quadrangle, the Smithsonian's new museum complex. This project and the other efforts you are making will live long after we are gone. It is your message to future citizens and it speaks well of you and this generation of Americans. I heard a story recently about a fellow who got the wrong message. A businessman was so successful that he was opening up a new branch and a friend thought he'd send a floral arrangement for the grand opening. When he got there, the friend was shocked to find that the wreath delivered bore the inscription, "Rest in Peace. " On the way home, he stormed into the flower shop to complain. The florist said, "Just look at it this way: Somewhere today someone was buried beneath a wreath that said, "Good luck in your new location. " Seriously, the legacy you are leaving your children is a better America, an America more aware of cultural values that make living more than mere existence. I thank you for what you've done. And encourage you to do more. Thanks for being here today and God bless you.
