To be honest, I think you've had a spectacular month. The environmental initiative is, literally, the most important political move the Republican Party has made domestically in years. Our tenuous appeal among younger voters has just been strengthened and, by establishing some apparent distance between the party and big business, our appeal across all age groups stands to improve. I'm equally thrilled with the Congressional/campaign reform emphasis, which is as sound in a policy as a political sense. What's best about it, of course, is the tactics of keeping Congress defensive, self-absorbed, and therefore less mischievous. One suggestion: The HUD problem must be presented in its accurate context, which extends way beyond eight years. Kemp's report should catalog a quarter century of favoritism and abuse; the truth, and the politically essential point, is that the problem is inherent in massive federal spending programs, not in the character of Sam Pierce or any particular set of functionaries. I've heard that Kemp's inquiry may limit itself to Pierce's tenure, and I think that would be both insufficient on the merits and politically dumb.

LETTER AT ALL TIMES AND SEND COMPLETED RECORD TO RECORDS 98667 PCC/Productivity Communication Center 102 Braswell Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27516 919/968-0047 June 26, 1989 Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: First, congratulations on your appointment. I was delighted that the President had the wisdom to put you precisely where you'll do him -- and the country -- the most good. Second, to update you on PCC, we're now located in North Carolina (I'd had enough of Dukakis about six months before America reached the same conclusion). Since we last talked, the program has caught on Dow, Ford, GM, Hallmark and Monsanto are among those now involved. In addition, I also serve on the board of trustees of the American Economic Foundation, which specializes in educating the public about economics. It's a natural adjunct to my work with employees. Third, as you can imagine, the directors of both PCC and the American Economic Foundation are deeply concerned about the problem of American competitiveness. On the one side, we fear that ignoring America's crisis could lead to reduced living standards and less opportunity; to say nothing of what it would mean to our ability to preserve freedom. To the other, we are absolutely appalled at the "solutions" emerging from Cambridge, the Council on National Priorities, and the Democratic caucus, most of which are guaranteed to make a bad problem even worse. We know that you and President Bush share our concern, and we want to do what we can to help you get out the real competitiveness message to the American people. What I'm proposing, on behalf of both organizations, is a joint luncheon meeting in Washington between our trustees and you, to take place at a date of your choosing in the late fall. While we're open to suggestions on the specific location, the Cosmo Club might be a good idea, as it's private and close to your office. One of our trustees can make arrangements. Hon. John Sununu, page 1 What I'd envision is an informal exchange regarding the Administration's analysis of the competitiveness crisis, what we can do to inform the public about the problem, and who we might look to for help in this effort. Since it is my understanding that this portfolio is in the Vice President's hand, we'd be very interested in hearing about his plans. I've included a list of our trustees. Several I believe you'll recognize as friends of the President. We'd also like to invite Ross Perot to participate. Though not serving on either board, Ross is a friend of Dick Taylor's (and the Administration), and has a keen interest in these issues. Let me know if we can work something out. Thanks.

DC 20036 (202) 387-3500 June 19, 1989 MEMORANDUM TO: John Sununu Chief of Staff to the President FROM: Daniel J. Dudek, Ph. D Senior Economist Joseph Goffman Senior Attorney RE: Draft Legislation on Acid Rain As we hope you know from the press reports of last week, we are delighted that the President is calling for a 10-million-ton reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions by the end of the century and that he proposes to incorporate a marketable permit approach in his acid rain program. While the National Clean Air Coalition will continue to push Congress for a 12 million ton reduction -- equal to the 50% reduction that the National Academy of Sciences first called for in 1981, the President's proposal has already made an enormous difference in bringing us closer to an acid rain solution. The fact sheet outlining the President's Clean Air Plan, circulated early last week, suggests that many of the critical design National Headquarters elements of the President's acid rain proposal 257 Park Avenue South will only be revealed when legislative language New York, NY 10010 is drafted. We believe that the success of the (212) 505-2100 President's proposal, both politically and 1405 Arapahoe Avenue practically, crucially depends on precisely Boulder, CO 80302 those design elements that remain unspecified.

More generally, the specific provisions included in the bill will be viewed as a signal test both of the President's promise to end acid rain and the credibility of the market incentive approach of emissions trading. The specific points that must be addressed are detailed below. 1. Total Tonnage and Emissions Increases. The general approbation that greeted the President's acid rain proposal was aimed at the 10-million-ton level of sulfur dioxide reductions his proposal promised. Obviously, it is vital that the legislative elements the Administration sends to the Hill deliver on the promise. Otherwise, the bill itself could be characterized as reneging on the 10-million-ton promise the President made on June 12. The High Case of the new EPA Base Case projections for the next 20 years shows increases in sulfur dioxide emissions between now and the year 2000 as well as between 2000 and 2010. To achieve the 10-million-ton reduction below 1980 levels the President promised and to ensure that such a reduction succeeds in protecting the environment, the Administration bill must present a program which compensates for potential emissions growth. Any emissions growth during either the 10-year reduction program or beyond must be met with additional reductions if the President's goal is to be achieved. In particular, without a fixed limit on emissions increases after the year 2000, SO2 loadings would begin to climb and the incentives for the use of energy conservation as a technique for reducing emissions would disappear. Given the looming global warming crisis, this would be a major lost opportunity for cost-effective greenhouse gas reductions. 2. Permits. The President's outline does not make it clear whether the permit issued to each source would require the source to achieve a specified emissions rate or to reduce its emissions to a Page 3 specified tonnage level. It is essential that permits require specified tonnage reductions. Tonnage permits are indispensable to incorporating energy conservation into the mix of methods for reducing emissions. Permits that required only reductions in emissions rates would preclude energy conservation from playing any role in emissions reduction. Similarly, emissions trading is, for all practical purposes, simply not viable in a program that requires sources only to reduce their rates. Only a system of tonnage-reduction permits allows for the easy determination of a source's baseline emissions, ready identification and calculation of emissions reduction credits and clear-cut application of such credits to another source's compliance requirements. Otherwise, the need to convert emissions rates into actual emissions on a transaction-by-transaction basis would complicate transactions for individual sources as well as for the Agency's attempts to monitor compliance. It is imperative that the environmental integrity of the trading program be given the highest priority. Finally, setting sources' emissions reduction requirements in terms of tonnage is instrumental to preventing future emissions increases from undermining the aggregate emissions reduction target. 3. Energy Conservation Credits Promoting energy conservation as a preferred method for reducing emissions is vital. That is why permits must require tonnage rather than rate reductions. In addition, capping total emissions automatically credits sources with emissions reduction resulting from conservation. Providing an affirmative incentive for energy conservation, as the June 12 briefings suggested the President's proposal would do, could also prove to be vital. However, it is essential that any emissions reductions crediting conferred upon specific conservation measures be limited to those measures which produce verifiable reductions in energy production from fossil Page 4 fuel fired plants. 4. Compliance and Enforcement. As with any new program, the public, the press and Capitol Hill will be scrutinizing the President's bill to determine whether it is practical and enforceable. This is particularlly true of the emissions trading elements of the program. Skepticism of the reliability of emissions trading persists. Since June 12, both Congressional leaders and environmental activists have expressed this skepticism by suggesting that sources will use trading to subvert the reduction requirements of the program and by questioning the practical ability of the EPA to establish and effectuate a program for enforcing compliance. Though EDF has been a strong proponent of emissions trading, we, too, focused much of the proposal we originally submitted to the Administration on precisely these issues. To maintain the credibility both of the emissions trading program and of his overall acid rain program, the President's bill must, at a minimum, provide for: *continuous emissions monitoring on all sources, to be installed and maintained by sources and independently certified. CEM data should be reported to EPA and the public on a quarterly basis, and sources should be presumed to be emitting at maximum, uncontrolled levels during unmeasured or unreported periods. *automatic penalties or fees for non-compliance that cannot be passed through to rate-payers or deducted from income taxes. The penalties should be set high enough to match the marginal cost of reduction. In addition, non-complying sources must also be required to repay their "environmental debt" by securing, presumably through purchasing credits, the required reductions they failed to make or otherwise provide for. *absolute liability for each source to comply with its permit requirements. Failure of a seller to generate promised credits must not defeat a buying source's obligation to comply Page 5 with its permit. The ability of credit-buyers to interpose such a defense for non-compliance would stagger enforcement efforts. Of course, "hold harmless" clauses in agreements between sellers and buyers should be permitted legally. 5. The West. At present, researchers have begun to detect acid deposition damage to high country lakes in the Rocky Mountain West. In addition, visibility deterioration due to SO2 and NOx emissions has begun to plague national treasures like the Grand Canyon. Most damage studies indicate that the economic costs of visibility reductions could be the single greatest impact of these emissions. Sulfur dioxide and NOx emissions are projected to double over 1980 levels by 2010 and if these emissions increases are not prevented, they threaten to create dual acid deposition and visibility crises for the West. The President's acid rain program will be viewed as incomplete if it does not cap utility emissions in the West at current levels to avoid future increases. Given that the proposal already incorporates interstate emissions trading, a Western cap can be imposed without threatening economic growth. The joint EPA/EDF analysis of interstate trading demonstrates that western emissions increases can be easily compensated though trading. 6. Legal Certainty and Statutory "Hammers". Since it is vital that the President's acid rain program become operational and start producing emissions reductions as soon after enactment as possible, the legislation itself must be as specific as possible in order to minimize any legal uncertainties that would retard the Agency's efforts to promulgate and implement a program. Accordingly, the legislation itelf should specify the baselines to be used in issuing permits, the obligation to install and maintain continuous emissions monitoring and the penalty levels and related provisions. In addition, the statute itself should include a "hammer" legally requiring, by date certain, and regardless of the status of Page 6 EPA regulations as of that date should final ruless not be in effect, that individual plants: 1) reduce their pollution by a specified amount, 2) install, maintain and report continuous emissions monitoring and 3) be subject to specific penalties and "environmental payback" requirements. 7. Industrial Emissions. The President's proposal appears to count the 1 million ton reduction in industrial emissions that have occurred since 1980 as part of the proposal's overall reduction total. While that accurately reflects current emissions, the EPA must be given an express statutory mandate to prevent future increases in emissions from the industrial sector if they begin to occur. In addition, industrial sources should be permitted to provide emissions reduction credits to utility sources. The specific provisions of the acid rain legislation the President sends to Capitol Hill will immediately be judged against his promise that "acid rain will stop by the end of this century. " Similarly, the credibility of his commitment to using a market approach to solve acid rain will also be either reinforced or undermined by the degree to which his legislation embodies an effective and reliable acid rain reduction program.

American Petroleum Institute 1220 L Street, Northwest Washington, D.C. 20005 202-682-8100 Charles J. DiBona President June 20, 1989 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: The petroleum industry has announced a new nationwide program to help prevent another major oil spill, contain and clean it up should one occur and conduct extensive research on spill-related subjects. The program will be put into place by the industry working with federal, state and local governments. Enclosed is a copy of the full report of the American Petroleum Institute Oil Spill Task Force, with an accompanying news release, describing the new program and the Petroleum Industry Response Organization which it creates. The program, which will cost the industry more than a quarter of a billion dollars over the first five years, is the result of an intensive review of industry oil spill prevention and response programs that was conducted by the industry at the request of API's Board of Directors. It is aimed at providing better environmental protection wherever tankers operate in U.S. waters. The major petroleum companies that receive most of the oil entering U.S. ports each day have approved and are committed to participating in the program. Spill prevention will be the program's first line of defense. New and improved approaches to tanker operation, spill containment and cleanup will be established. At the core of the program will be five regional response centers ready to handle any future major spill in U.S. waters. The centers are provisionally planned for the New York tristate area, Norfolk, New Orleans, Long Beach and Seattle, with a headquarters in Washington, D.C. API is ready to provide whatever additional information we can to the Congress on this new industry program. I hope that you will not hesitate to contact us if we can help in any way.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: On behalf of the Foundation for Economic Research, I would like to thank you for the considerable time you extended to us on Thursday. As I mentioned, you have indeed been a long-term friend to the Foundation, and this has been most appreciated and a valuable asset to our effort. Feedback on the occasion was extremely positive; people felt your presentation of the information and handling of the questions was straightforward, honest, and reflected a course of action that was well supported. From my observation, your comment about our Congressional delegation was right on target, but it still appears to surprise many people in the business community and still does not galvanize them into action. I mentioned to you that I am presently planning a State Senate race from the South Shore, but have been approached relative to a U. S. Senate run.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: I understand Lincoln, Nebraska has been selected as a cite for the President to visit on June 9. As my letter to you of May 24 indicates, a number of alternative fuel activities are under way in Lincoln, the most promising being the commercialization efforts of the new motor fuel compound, Ethyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (ETBE). An opportunity exists for the President, while in Lincoln, to issue the long awaited announcement of the technical clarification that the alcohol fuels tax credit applies to the ethanol used in the manufacture of ETBE. Without this simple, but critical Administrative ruling, ETBE will not be commercial in the near term. Significant support exists for such a ruling. Seventy-five senators wrote the Administration requesting this ruling be issued in 1988. Since that time three of the President's Cabinet officers, Mr. Riley, Mr. Watkins and Mr. Yeutter have also written the Treasury Department asking for an expedited ruling. In the private sector, ETBE has the wide support of agriculture, environment and the automobile communities and the oil industry acknowledges that ETBE is completely compatible with their refineries and pipeline distribution system. The problem continues to be the delay in Treasury issuing this ruling. If the President were willing to expedite this matter to coincide with his visit, Nebraska, with its long history of support for alternative fuels, would be an ideal setting for him to make such an announcement. It serves as a national center of the agricultural community and I know that Governor Orr's office would be able to assist in making it a momentous occasion for American agriculture. Boyden Gray, Cooper Evans and EPA Assistant Administrator Bill Rosenberg are all fully briefed on ETBE and can be excellent resources for anything relating to this issue. In addition, both Ray Durante and myself would be pleased to provide you with any additional information you might require on ETBE or alternative fuels. 1129 20th Street NW Suite 500 Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 822-1715 FAX Number (202) 293-0147 ID# 045599 THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENCE TRACKING WORKSHEET INCOMING DATE RECEIVED: JUNE 16, 1989 NAME OF CORRESPONDENT: THE HONORABLE ROBERT K.

He is leaving Washington on June 30th. I am going to miss him and would like to do something special for him. In all these years Brian has never visited the Oval Office to meet the President. But in his case it's not just any president. As you may know, Brian was an original member of the Bush for President California Organizing Committee, California Delegate Selection Committee, surrogate program, etc., etc. He was also a delegate to the National Convention. He worked on behalf of the campaign long and hard, on both coasts and also managed to keep my office running smoothly as I traversed the country for the President. I know it would be an honor for Brian to say good bye to Washington in the company of the President. A quick hello and picture in and out in just minutes. I would join him. Again, he leaves on June 30th. Thanks, John. Best regards, Bob Robert K. Dornan U.S. Congressman This is importantome.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: On behalf of the Board of Directors of SOAR! (Support Our Aging Religious, Inc.), I would like to invite you to serve on our Honorary Committee for the 1989 Annual SOAR! Award Dinner. The event is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, October 18, at the Washington Court Hotel, 525 New Jersey Avenue, N.W. SOAR! is a non-profit organization of lay men and women who are committed to assuring financially stable and personally secure futures for elderly and frail members of religious congregations in the United States, augmenting the efforts of the institutional church. To achieve this end, SOAR! awards financial grants to meet emergency needs of congregations experiencing difficulty in adequately resolving the multiple needs of their retired members. SOAR! was organized in 1986 as a response to the growing numbers of aging religious in America. The need is greatest among those nuns, brothers, and priests who have dedicated their lives to literacy and education through service in America's parochial schools. We hope to dramatically enhance the Church's ability to cope with this problem. I have enclosed two pieces of information to better acquaint you with the organization. To facilitate your response I have enclosed a stamped card addressed to SOAR!. If you require additional information, please feel free to contact me or the Dinner Coordinator, Jane McCarthy, at the SOAR! office. She may be reached on 589-9811.

Should David receive this award, I am certain that it would be used for his education at Hesser College. His father has just recently been diagnosed with a serious illness, so financial support from home will be even less available than when it was simply an issue of cash flow in a small forestry operation during a developmental stage.

The entire administration looked very good on this one and my congratulations on having pulled it together so well. Enclosed is a copy of a letter recently sent to the President on behalf of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. It invites him to attend the dedication of the new wing of the hospital on the 17th of September. All of us in the Mid-Atlantic Region very much hope he will attend for this is the premiere children's hospital in the east. I say that with an admitted bias because my father- in-law, Richard Wood, has been the Chairman of the Board for more than two decades. He is in his 80's now and the new wing that is being dedicated is being named in his honor. Both Elise and I would be delighted if the President would be good enough to accept this invitation. But I suppose those who will be honored most are the tens of thousands of babies and children who are better today because of the treatment they received there. We very much hope that the President will join us, and if you and Nancy can find time to come along, we'll provide some home cooking at our house at the other end of the day.

Droney, Jr. Chairman June 1, 1989 Honorable John Sununu Chief Of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20006 Dear John: I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for sending me a picture of you and I meeting while I was a guest of Governor O'Neill at the Indian Treaty Room Reception during the Inaugural ceremonies. It may seem unusual to some that a Republican Chief Of Staff to the President of the United States would take the time to send a picture to the Chairman of the Democratic Party in Connecticut. It does not strike me as unusual or out of character for a man of your reputation and stature. In fact, it is typical of the type of Governor you were in New Hampshire and the type of Chief Of Staff you are in Washington. Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to think of me. I will not forget the courtesy. If I can ever be of any service to you in Connecticut (of course, on a non-partisan basis), please call me. Sincerely, John F.

Do ERNEST W KAULBACH BRUCE ROBERTS you think you might be able to get the President to greet the swimmers at the finish line at Fairfield Beach for a brief time? (My wife worked deligently for President Bush during the campaign and was probably one of the most significant reasons Fairfield County went solidly for George Bush.)

JEFF KEITH 178 GLENGARRY ROAD FAIRFIELD, CT 06430 (203) 374-9824 May 22, 1989 President George Bush Office of the President United States of America Washington, CT Dear President: Consider this a letter coming from one of your thousand points of light. On February 18, 1985, I became the first amputee to run across America. By the run's completion, I had journeyed through 18 states and the District of Columbia, raised $1 million for the American Cancer Society, and instilled a new awareness to millions of Americans that cancer could be beaten. What I learned most from my journey was that it was an incredible feeling to give something back. After the run, I helped a friend create an event that would give us that same feeling; it is called "Swim Across The Sound." The "Swim Across The Sound" is a fundraising, athletic event which involves swimming 17 miles across Long Island Sound. Our purpose is to raise both money for and awareness about the treatment of cancer. I am one of eight participants who will be swimming in this event and our goal is to raise $100,000. Former President Reagan met with me while I ran through Kansas City, called me at the finish line in Los Angeles, and presented me with the Courage Award -- the highest honor bestowed by the American Cancer Society. His ongoing support served as a beacon of light, guiding me through the many lonely miles and difficult days. I would like to extend an invitation to you to join us by swimming the last 100 yards. Your involvement would serve as a beacon of light, guiding us to success. I have enclosed a 14-minute film inspired by my run and hope you will get a feel for my commitment to helping others. I look forward to hearing from you.

DiBona President June 1, 1989 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: Enclosed, for your information, is a progress report by the American Petroleum Institute on the oil spill cleanup efforts in Alaska's Prince William Sound. As the report notes, more than 8,000 people, more than 670 sea vessels and 56 aircraft are involved in the overall cleanup effort, with close to 3,000 people working directly on the shoreline cleanup in the sound. While progress is being made, much remains to be done. The report provides available information, as of May 26, on the cleanup effort, the success achieved so far, and the prospects for the future. It is based on public reports received from the Coast Guard, various Alaska state agencies and Exxon. We will provide additional progress reports as the cleanup effort moves ahead. It continues to be the petroleum industry's highest priority to work with the Administration and the Congress, as well as with state officials, to reduce the risk of such tragic accidents in the future and to ensure a response with the greatest possible speed and effectiveness in the event of another spill. API stands ready to provide whatever information or assistance we can to you and others in the Administration.

Sununu, Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Sir: From years in juvenile court observing causes of abuse, delinquency and crime, and also from being involved in developing, ordering and seeing results of programs intended to control increasing crime that have ranged from Head Start and free school lunches to sentences for murder and rape, it is clear beyond question that more spent on treating symptoms will never stem the tide of get worse. America's growing social chaos. Unless causes are treated, matters will only We can have a kinder, gentler, caring, safer America. For all. And for far less taxes. However, the only way it can be achieved is to identify and correct the causes of the growing crisis in education, drugs, housing and crime. Also, from direct contact with those involved as well as from media coverage, every segment of American society wants changes that are needed. A proposed plan is enclosed. Because of your concern, we would greatly appre- ciate your comments and suggestions.
