As you know, the President has a long and demonstrated history of support for historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). I am pleased that the Administration's brief evidences a continuation of the Presidents's record of unequivocal support. As I stated in a letter to the President, the position taken in the brief "states affirmatively to all Americans and particularly to those young men and women, now graduated, currently or prospectively enrolled in HBCUs, that protections provided under the constitution cannot and will not be eliminated or compromised." Thank you for helping to ensure that the Administration's brief affirmatively states this most important principle. Sincerely, Lou Louis W.

Sununu White House Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: I have recently been informed of certain legal proceedings initiated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the case State of Alabama, et al. V. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, et al., No. 88-V-987-N pending in the United States District Court in the Middle District of Alabama. This case involves the attempted collection on an injunction bond by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for damages allegedly incurred by EPA as a result of the delay in shipment of some 47,000 tons of PCB- contaminated dirt from Texas for disposal at the Chemical Waste Management facility in Emelle, Alabama. I am extremely concerned that payment of any but a nominal amount on the bond by the State of Alabama will exacerbate Alabama's already difficult budgetary circumstances given the fragile state of Alabama's economy. The attempted collection of the full bond in this case after all of the PCB-contaminated soil has been buried in Alabama, and for which the State of Alabama will become perpetually responsible, would appear to me to be a vindictive act on the part of EPA to punish the state for having taken legal action. I would appreciate any role you can play to ensure that the State of Alabama is treated fairly and equitably in this matter. Let me thank you in advance for your review of this issue at your earliest convenience and any relief from the financial burden that would be incurred from the enforcement of this bond.

Your hosts will be high- ranking officials from the Union and Russian Federation govern- ments. Dr. Georgii Shakhnazarov -- aide to President Mikhail Gorbachev has asked us to organize an American delegation of twenty "practitioners" and scholars experienced in the workings of the American federal system. Our invitation list is attached. The Soviet participants will include Deputies from the USSR and the Russian Supreme Soviet, officials from the Union and Russian Federation governments and prominent scholars. We hope that both President Gorbachev and President Yeltsin will attend. The Conference will be sponsored by the Foundation for Social and Political Research -- a new Presidential "think tank" -- chaired by Dr. Shakhnazarov. Alexander Yakovlev, Sergei Stankevich, Col. General Dimitry Volkogonov, Konstantin Lubenchenko and other prominent democrats serve on the Foundation Board. We have enclosed the full list. To help us plan the Conference agenda and select the American delegation, we have enlisted a planning group from the American Bar Association, the National Conference of State Legislatures, the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations, and the Congressional Research Service. Many of these specialists will come with us to Moscow and give expert support to the delegation. They are listed as the Planning Group with the attached draft agenda. Chairman of the Board: William H. Sullivan Executive Director: Lindsay Mattison Board of Trustees: Jack Blum Reverend Whitney Bodman Robert S. Browne Nayan Chanda Dr. George T. Chang Mary Anna Colwell Walter Corson Belvin and Lucille K. Friedson David Hunter Richard McCall Cynthia McClintock Edward Rawson Alex Rondos Aaron and Martha Schecter Brian E. Smith Paul B. Stephan III Samuel A. Stern Don Stillman Mary Travers Anne Zill The timing of the Conference -- in mid-December -- will coincide with the most crucial stage of negotiations over the structure of the new Union and the design of the Constitution. Dr. Shakhnazarov remains President Gorbachev's principal negotiator for the Treaty of Union -- the legal basis for a new Soviet federal structure of government. He will assemble key participants in this process for our Conference. We have an historic opportunity to help shape the new democratic Union of Sovereign States by sharing our American experience of federalism. I hope you can participate. Please let us know immediately of your willingness to come to Moscow and participate in this Conference. We need to make arrangements as soon as possible.

I have asked Jim Jeffords to consider John (Josh) Fitzhugh who was appointed by my husband as counsel to the Governor. He continues, at least temporarily, in that position with Governor Dean. My husband thought very highly of Josh's abilities and, as you know, was not someone who gave praise lightly. Josh is exceptionally intelligent but, of even more importance, is his ability to display thoughtful, objective judgment even in times of crisis. His experience in litigation is included in the enclosed resume and puts him on an equal footing with other known candidates for the position. Additionally, he is a proven Republican who has worked diligently for Republican candidates. Not all of the candidates can claim this attribute. I have recommended his appointment to Jim Jeffords but do not know his current list of eight candidates or whether Josh is included. I strongly endorse John Fitshugh as a candidate and hope that he will be given the opportunity that he deserves. Thank you for your consideration of his qualifications both as a fine attorney and as a Republican. Sincerely, Barbar Barbara W.

This is a clear violation of legislative intent and the agreement reached between Congress, medicine, and the Administration in 1989. The behavioral offset provision had been dropped from the conference report in favor of a different volume mechanism (Medicare Volume Performance Standards). - HCFA's intransigence is unresponsive to an overwhelming political reaction in support of medicine's position. HCFA has received a record 100,000 + comments on the proposed regulations. - Over 80 percent of the Members of Congress have written HCFA, HHS, OMB, or the President in support of medicine's position, indicating the proposed rules violate Congressional intent. - Medicine has traditionally been a large influential base of support for Republicans and I see it turning to the side of the Democrats over this single issue. The Republicans cannot afford to lose any votes in the upcoming elections. - HCFA and OMB can remedy this situation by simply dropping plans for the 6.5 percent behavioral offset.

He was positioned at Interior in the office of Program Analysis on a contract basis and his contract has been renewed once, and cannot be renewed again. His request this Spring for a "Schedule C" appointment was denied earlier this year by the White House, although the Personnel Office at Interior has inquired as to the possibility of a reconsideration. I wonder if it would be possible to learn whether reconsideration is possible or whether the final decision has been made. I think that would be a courtesy to Charlie in either event. If it would be possible to receive a clarification on this, I would be most apprecia- tive, as would Charlie McManus. Thanks for your help on this one.

SENDER'S DIRECT LINE: FAX 202-223-0120 October 3, 1991 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. Dear John, Thank you for your recent letter. I received a letter from Ronald Kaufman shortly thereafter with regard to my desire to do advance work for the President once the campaign begins. Although I would look forward to working on the campaign, I decided in mid-September to put my name in to fill one of the four vacancies on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. I believe I am highly qualified (I have enclosed relevant supporting information) and I have received good support from prominent members of the local bar (Brendan Sullivan and others), prior colleagues (I served in the United States Attorney's Office and D.C. Corporation Counsel's Office) and judges before whom I have practiced or with whom I have worked. As you know I am a Republican. I have supported the President's campaigns financially over the last twelve years and I presently contribute to the Party through the President's Club. I also worked locally at the polls for the Party during the last few Presidential campaigns and I actively supported Maurice Turner during his recent campaign. Being a Republican in the District has some disadvantages, which is the purpose of my letter. In the District a seven member D.C. Judicial Nomination Commission selects three names for each judicial vacancy on our local courts and sends them to the President who then nominates one of them. I would appreciate your assistance in this process and, if it is appropriate, some assistance now before any names are selected by the Commission. Most of the Commission members are Democrats and a few are fairly liberal. While I think I have a mixture of support, a call to Mike Madigan, who is the Commission member selected by the President, from the appropriate person in the White House would be helpful for me in the initial selection process. Mike and I know each other, we were each Assistant United States Attorneys, but there are apparently quite a few names before the Commission. AVIN, P.C. ORD BEOND 103. 100183 add John, thank you.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: We are writing to bring to your attention legislation we have introduced that that provides an alternative to the Family and Medical Leave Act consistent with the President's position as expressed in the Statement of Adminstration Policy of September 30, 1991: The American Family Protection Act (S. 418 / H.R. 1270) Our legislation would allow employees to leave employment for up to six years to care for a new child and up to two years to care for a seriously ill family member. When the employee wishes to return to the workforce, that employee would be granted preferred rehire status. Unlike other substitutes being prepared for the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Family Protection Act is not a compromise, but an alternative. It takes an entirely different approach to work and family time issues than H.R. 2. By not mandating an employment benefit, the Family Protection Act will keep federal policy out of an area traditionally, and properly, negotiated between employer and employee and will avoid the slippery slope leading to paid leave. The American Family Protection Act is not a mandated fringe benefit. It is an employment preference for certain returning employees similar to -- and actually less restrictive than -- veteran's reemployment. Unlike the Family and Medical Leave Act, employers are not required to reinstate the employee whenever he or she wishes to return or to continue health insurance while the employee is on leave. An employer would have only two requirements under this bill. First, he or she must notify an employee who wishes to return to the workforce of positions that become available for one year after the employee applied to return. Second, they must reinstate the employee in the first position for which the employee is qualified that becomes available. The employee bears the burden of proof. Unlike the mandated one-size-fits all approach of H.R.2, the Family Protection Act provides employers and employees with the flexibility to work together to meet their mutual needs. This legislation will allow Congress to support the principle that the workplace should be flexible. This legislation allows opponents of mandated leave to demonstrate that it is possible to be both pro-family and pro-business. We believe that it is important that those of us who oppose the mandated approach of H.R. 2 to offer an alternative that members can be for that does not mandate benefits. Many conservative Honorable John H. Sununu Page 2 and moderate Democrats who have supported the administration's position in opposition to the Federal government mandating employee benefits are uncomfortable with a "just say no" approach to this issue. An administration endorsement of the American Family Protection Act would contribute significantly toward its standing as the principal alternative to H.R.2. This would divert Members of Congress away from split-the-difference compromises that merely water down H.R. 2 and could well acquire veto-proof support. As you know, several members in both parties have plans to offer such compromise benefit mandates. We have enclosed information about this legislation for your perusal. We look forward to working together with you on this and other issues. Sincerely, Charli Charles W. Stenholm Billy Laven W.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 My Dear Governor: Thank you for your kind letter of September 4th, and thank you also for your interest in my concerns on the economy. Events subsequent to our correspondence are certainly reinforcing these concerns. I have reviewed the material which John Heinz and I had been discussing, and have brought it up to date, and in this letter will present a summary of the areas of concern with recommendations. I hope that the summary will be more useful to you than the voluminous source material. ON BANKING: The regulators claim that they really haven't changed the rules. While this may be de jure so, it is de facto nonsense. They may be the same old rules, but the interpretation and enforcement thereof is now draconian, and as a consequence, bankers feel deprived of the opportunity to manage their business as managers, using business judgments to solve problems, and loan officers feel terrorized and, consequently, not at all interested in taking even normal and prudent business risks. The consequences of this all-pervasive mood to the economy are becoming obvious to even the most casual observors. Specifically, there can be no doubt that the regulators have become much more stringent in the examination process and, although some of these changes are warranted, many are severely impacting on the banks' ability to deal with existing customers and new customers. Examples are: There is little or no flexibility allowed in trying to negotiate a restructuring of an existing debt without having to classify the loan as a non-performing loan. Loans are being classified "Special Mention", "Substandard" or "Doubtful" on a more frequent basis than they have in the past, which is resulting in a larger number of problem assets on bankers' books. In many banks this has produced a flight to only the highest quality loans. the Honorable John H. Sununu Page Two 30 September 1991 0 New real estate appraisal regulations require that a discounted cash flow analysis be completed, and at very high discount rates and capitalization rates, which severely impacts the value of the underlying collateral. An additional consequence is that banks are simply lending no money at all on raw land of any kind, regardless of value. o Highly leveraged transactions (HLT's) are getting a high level attention from the Regulators, to the extent that new credits are virtually non-existent. Perhaps not doing any of these deals today is okay, but a serious problem arising from this policy is the impossibility of restructuring or refinancing existing transactions, bringing on unnecessary distress and failures. The sum of these policies is to put the banking industry in extremus and sectors of the economy along with them. What's needed here, John, is not so much a change in the rules (which might be politically difficult), but instead a change in the interpretation and enforcement of the existing rules so that the OCC and the bankers would understand that the clear intention of the government was business as usual or an evolutionary improvement in practices instead of a revolutionary, "everything must be fixed today" attitude. I believe that the OCC could communicate its determination to have a banking system more sound than that which existed a few years ago without the present excesses as outlined above, which are clearly further endangering the banking system and the general economy as well In this case, the prescription is rather simple: "lighten up. TAX LAW 0 The Tax Reform of 1986, with the changes made to passive income and passive loss rules, has had a materially adverse effect on real estate values Capital is not flowing to real estate at anywhere near the same levels as in the past, and it would seem to me that this matter must be revisited in order to provide a potential stimulus 0 In the same vein, changes in the tax investment credit laws seriously curtailed economic incentives to get the economy going. I believe that investment tax credit The Honorable John H. Sununu Page Three 30 September 1991 benefits would motivate companies to re-evaluate capital expenditure plans and boost much needed capital goods spending with a potential multiplier effect. Our nation suffers from an inadequate net savings rate compounded by the federal deficit. Investment tax credits would stimulate "savings" in the form of capital investment. 0 Tax-free incentives and depreciation rates were both adversely affected in recent tax overhauls. Both need to be revisited as potential stimulants. Capital gains -- No one has worked harder for capital gains than you and the President. Be that as it may, it is clear that while Congress may have been taking aim at the rich when they curtailed capital gains, they have only succeeded in shooting the economy in the foot. ENVIRONMENTAL LAW: Unthoughtul and uneconomic environmental law is, in my view, an important drag on the economy. A few examples suffice. 0 Spending tens of billions of dollars on sulphur dioxide emissions (acid rain), after a $600 million government- sponsored scientific report indicating that these expenditures are not in any way justified by the facts, seems a luxury we cannot afford. Over-zealous wetlands laws are playing hob in the development industry. 0 The environmental cleanup laws provide for, in addition to excessive cost and liability claims, provision for specific liability by innocent and unknowing parties as, for example, banks. Banks are forced into the position of being uncertain as to their liability, and this is having a substantial impact on their willingness to lend to many industries. The legislation that has created the Super Fund and the management thereof is a fine example of folly. We have spent 40% of the money cleaning up 2% of the sites, and most of the money has gone to litigation, not cleanup. The effort by Congress to protect the taxpayers from the cost of cleanup has only succeeded in running up these costs, delaying the cleanup, and most likely in the long run, the taxpayers will end up with the tab anyway. The Honorable John H. Sununu page Four 30 September 1991 ACCOUNTING ISSUES: The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) continues to render opinions and promulgate regulations which make it more and more difficult to negotiate workable arrangements by banks to help troubled borrowers. Some of these changes, which might seem arcane, in fact go right to the heart of the bank's balance sheet. 0 When must a loan go into non-accruing status? The rules have been moving to force banks to classify loans as non- performing more quickly, which increases the bank's level of non-performing loans and decreases their willingness and ability to work out problems in a businesslike way. 0 Similarly, recent proposals for "loan-splitting", which would have allowed, in certain circumstances, that a portion of a loan could be written off and the balance made performing, has been rejected by FASB, the GOA and the SEC. These proposals were designed to take some of the short-term pressure off of banks, which badly needs to be done. These changes taken together simply add to the pressures on banks, which are already very great, causing them to further retreat from their very critical function in our economy of keeping the system adequately liquid and providing the funds for business expansion. Well, John, this letter is already embarrassingly long. I have no doubt that you well understand the thrust of my concerns and the policies recommended to improve our situation. The regulatory pendulum was on the permissive side in the mid-80's. Instead of returning it to equilibrium, the regulators have brought it totally to the other side. Too much money was being lent too easily. Now not enough money is obtainable under reasonable circumstances. I urge some pretty prompt action because I think things are seriously amiss and getting worse. In this case, a stitch in time might save twenty-nine. For good measure, you might want to consider the value of having Clarke's reappointment be rejected by the Senate. That's probably a double-edge sword, but I think Clarke has been particularly insensitive and intransigent, and I suspect he thinks that by being so tough on the banks, he is protecting the OCC from political assault. Perhaps so, but at what cost The Honorable John H. Sununu Page Five 30 Septémber 1991 to the country? We need a Comptroller of the Currency who is more interested in defending the country and less interested in protecting his own bureaucracy from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. That sort of sacrifice is, as you know better than anyone, John, what makes up real statesmanship. Thank you for caring. I don't presume that there's anything I can do, but you know that I would be more than happy to be helpful any way that I can. the Warm regards, Charles D.

And, despite my little jab about the Gregg's (I loved your wonderful response) I think you are doing a fabulous job for the President and you have no stronger admirer or outspoken supporter than 1. I'm hoping to return to Estonia this November 5. I have several small businessmen and doctors over there for whom I am establishing contacts here in the United States. The businessmen are looking to buy computers, the doctors medical supplies, etc. Nashua Corporation is giving me some floppy disks and copy cartridge toner to see if I can locate a distributor. Several of the Estonians have visited me already. I have two Estonians living with me now - one is Liina Sild, whom I am trying to get into Northeastern Graduate School of Business Administration. When she goes home she will be my contact in Tallinn. She speaks five languages fluently and has translated for several joint ventures. I attended Warren and Bob's super International Trade Conference Monday, and I. am anxious to get some Estonian names in the the National Trade Data Bank (there are none now.) I wonder whether the President will be sending some Americans over to work on business contacts. I would love to do that and to promote some NH businesses. And to see an American Embassy set up soon SO Estonians can register in the NTDB in Commerce. If you have any thoughts or other people to whom I should speak, I would appreciate your advice. I love the Estonians and really want to help them, in any small way, both to get through this winter and to establish trade with the US.

In 1989 he became the VFW's Junior Vice Commander-in-Chief; in 1990 he was named the Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief; and last year he was elected to serve his current term as Commander-in-Chief at the National Convention in New Orleans. As the leaders of the nation's largest veterans organization, I am confident that Bob and Larry will be able to share some keen insights on the issues that effect our veterans. I will be contacting you in the next few days so that we can establish a date that is mutually convenient. I thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Sincere CHRISTOPHER H.

As we are confronted with decisions on other SSA proposals, such as the Retirement Earnings Test proposal, we must hold firm on our refusal to accept any provision to strip SSA from the Department. It is my heartfelt belief that making SSA an independent agency would be detrimental to our Nation's elderly. As you know, SSA acts as a conduit for a wide and well-coordinated array of Federal and State services available to elderly and disabled citizens. Separating SSA from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) would destroy that coordination and make access to these vital services much more difficult. There simply is no compelling reason to change the status of SSA. According to independent surveys, public satisfaction with the service SSA is currently providing is extremely high. There are no territorial fights or interagency quarreling, and there will not be as long as all services are coordinated under central HHS guidance. The public is being well-served under the current arrangement. The Congressional attempt to make SSA an independent agency is one of the most critical issues facing this Department - and one that I am personally committed to fighting. I greatly appreciate your continued support on this issue of vital importance to HHS. Sincerely, you Louis W.

As you may know, our Inaugural Celebration for The Year of Clean Water is scheduled for October 30, 1991. America's Clean Water Foundation's Board of Governors' Co-Chairs, Senator Edmund Muskie, Senator Howard Baker, Representative John Blatnik, and Representative William Harsha are officiating this significant event (agenda attached). An invitation was sent to President Bush inviting him to speak, however, his office declined due to scheduling conflicts. The Inaugural Celebration for The Year of Clean Water provides an ideal time to announce the Presidential Proclamation (draft attached) and I would be honored to have you or a member of the President's Senior Staff present the Proclamation to our Board of Governors. In lieu of your personal participation, you may want to consider having Bill Reilly or Senator Baker, our Board Co-Chair, present it to the group on your behalf. Thank you for your consideration of this request and I look forward to hearing from you in the near term.

Box 1237 SUBCOMMITTEE ON LIVESTOCK, STAMPORD, TX DAIRY, AND POULTRY (915) 773-3823 September 17, 1991 DEMOCRATIC DEPUTY WHIP P.O. Box 1101 ABILENE, TX 79804 (915) 673-7221 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: I have recently become aware of administration testimony concerning changes in the implementation of the young child tax credit. I am writing to express my concern about the apparent change in administration policy on this important provision of the tax code. The inclusion of the so-called "wee tots" provision in the child care agreement in the budget reconciliation package passed by Congress was of great importance to those who do not like the current bias in the tax code against families who choose in-home parental care rather than out-of-home care. I believe that this victory was made possible by your personal persistance on the issue. As you are aware, the "wee tots" credit provided balance in the tax code for parents who give up one income to have one parent stay at home by being tied to a "no double-dip" requirement vis-a-vis the dependant care tax credit. Eliminating the interaction between the supplemental young child tax credit and the dependant care tax credit would undermine the intent of the young child tax credit. It is for this reason that I was concerned to note the testimony by Assistant Secretary of Treasury for Tax Policy, Kenneth Gideon, before the Senate Finance Committee on September 10 He proposed repealing the interaction rules between the young child tax credit and the dependent care tax credit in order to simplify the earned income tax credit. While reducing the complexity of the tax code is an admirable goal, I would urge the administration to explore ways to achieve this goal without eliminating the one small credit in the tax code that is available exclusively to families who choose in-home parental care for there children. I respectfully solicit your assistance on this matter, and look forward to working with you. With kind regards, I remain Sincerely yours, Chah Charles W.

I am seeking job opportunities either working on national affairs, or foreign service opportunities with the State Department.

In addition to certain learned skills and developed abilities which are highlighted on the attached resume other attributes are; -I work extremely well under pressure. -Capable of handling multiple projects simultaneously. -Quick to understand complex situations and problem resolution. -Good with numbers and analytical work. -Enthusiastic and aggressive worker, with a sense of humor. I am ready to meet with anyone at anytime. If possibilities for employment within your area of responsibility do not exist I would be extremely grateful if you would suggest some individuals I may contact directly for employment consideration, or if circumstances permit could you direct my resume to a particular person or office. Thank you for your assistance and best wishes for your own continued success.

Thanks f Centening ing a fteen Bob tion recommending Vaughan Edward Taylor for nomination to the Court of Military Appeals. As I stated in the initial correspondence, Vaughan is not a constituent of mine, nor do I have any political connections with him. He is simply supremely qualified to serve on the Court. Subsequently, I sent four followup letters to, and spoke on numerous occasions with, Chase Untermeyer in support of Vaughan's candidacy. Moreover, I discussed the issue with members and staff of the Senate Armed Services Committee, whose feedback was consistently positive. Further, my staff contacted Judge Cox, a member of the Court who is thoroughly familiar with Vaughan's qualifications, and strongly supports his candidacy. In short, I researched and fully answered every conceivable concern regarding Vaughan Taylor's professional and political suitability for nomination. Yet, irrespective of my efforts, it seems that no action has been taken on this matter. Presently there are three open seats on the Court. By law, no more than two of these three vacancies can be filled from one political party. However, since Vaughan has registered as an independent, his nomination would comply with the requisite statutory ratio. Additionally, the Court would gain an exceptionally qualified jurist.

Dear Dr. Sununu: I write to you as a fellow member of the National Academy of Engineering, to help with a major detriment that is about to descend upon government engineers and scientists. This is a regulation by the Government Ethics Office to prohibit government employees from serving as officers of their professional societies. As a participant in the space program and as 1989 President of the American Meteorological Society, I am deeply concerned with the damage this rule will do to the quality of government engineers and scientists as well as to societies such as the American Meteorological Society and the American Geophysical Union, which have a membership comprising about one-half government employees. I am sure a major adverse impact will also accrue to the engineering societies. Morale at the Goddard Space Flight Center (where I work as Chief Scientist for Meteorlogy and Project Scientist for an important satellite in MIssion to Planet Earth) has plummeted on hearing of this regulation. The best scientists and engineers can always get jobs elsewhere and many of them will leave, with the more mediocre ones left in the government. I never would have left an endowed Chair Professorship at the University of Virginia to join Goddard if such a regulation had been in effect. This will do untold damage in recruiting young scientists and engineers into the space program. One of my best post-docs about to be hired into NASA has changed his mind at the last minute because of this ruling. I earnestly hope that you and your staff will do everything you can to stop this outrageous extension of bureaucracy, which will surely make government scientists and engineers into second-class citizens of their peer communities.

I traveled with Rep. Frank Wolf and former Under Secretary of State Richard McCormick from August 28th -- September 3rd. There is not doubt in my mind that the conflict between Croatia and the Serbian insurgents could quickly escalate into an all out civil war with hundreds of thousands being killed or wounded. We met with both President Tudjman and President Milosevc and it appears that peace will be impossible without increased U.S. attention and visible solidarity with the EC efforts to resolve the crisis in Yugoslavia. For this reason, I believe it is urgent for our delegation to meet with the President as quickly as possible. Any help you may render in scheduling a meeting would be most appreciated.

Skubik Manufacturers' Representative September 1, 1991 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Governor: It was great seeing you at Waterville Valley the other day. I am writing to ask you if it would be possible to arrange for the New Hampshire State Society to hold a White House buffet luncheon featuring New Hampshire food products. My firm, YOUR NEW HAMPSHIRE SOURCE , can provide some of the finest smoked turkey, smoked ham, smoked cheeses, etc. The food would come from the North Country Smoke House in Claremont, NH. Also if the idea appeals to you, I can arrange for other food companies in New Hampshire to participate. I am sure that all of the NH food companies would bust their backs to make the affair memorable You know how great New Hampshire foods can be. It would be an occasion where you, as the host, could be among many of your friends. You might be able to show off New Hampshire to people who don't know that New Hampshire is truly a state where the Good Lord has chosen to provide superior quality in many ways. YOUR NEW HAMPSHIRE SOURCE was organized by me at my age 76 to try to bring some life into the economy and at the same time earn a few dollars to supplement my retirement income. I hope you find the idea of a White House buffet luncheon where New Hampshire food would be served an attractive one. If that isn't possible, how about getting your chef to order some terrifice foods from New Hampshire through me. Sincerely, Store Stephen J.

It was a great honor for us to have you there and to have the President represented. My only regret is that I must have been in more of a daze than I thought, because I did not ask you to speak. The truth is that Governor Dean spoke without my invitation or even knowledge, until he was introduced. I had no advisor on the service except those who implemented my requests, and consequently, probably made other errors that will eventually occur to me. It would have been not only appropriate but a very satisfying and symbolic addition to have your comments and those you conveyed from the President. Please express my appreciation to the President for his kind remarks on Dick's contributions as a Governor.

I enclose a copy of my letter to President Bush in which I encourage him to accept the invitation. If President Bush were able to address the meeting, the format and timing would be arranged to suit the President's convenience and desires. I have been asked to introduce the President and would be extremely honored to do so. The President also has been asked to consider attending a small meeting of selected university presidents and trustees if his schedule would allow. Again, the selection and number of attendees would be determined at the President's discretion. As I indicated in my letter to the President, I believe that the Summit offers a fitting forum for an address concerning the role of independent colleges and universities in the future of education in America. I hope that you will agree that this meeting is worthy of the President's attention and that you will recommend that he attend. If I can provide any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Beens Benno C.

Even now, it seems important enough to make the effort. First, let me start with a little "joke" told me by Bruce and Bob Beal of Boston, with whom I believe you are acquainted: How do you tell the difference between a national bank examiner and a terrorist? Answer: you can reason with a terrorist. John, I am genuinely quite concerned that what is going on in our banking system is liable to provoke another recession and also to deprive us of some of the great opportunities which we would otherwise have next year to elect a more enlightened House and Senate. Allentown is a small city, but in many ways a microcosm of the nation. Our economy is soundly based and diversified. Our real estate market is in good shape, and we have not participated in any easy-money excesses. Nevertheless, good people are starting to suffer a good deal from the credit crunch. I am personally involved in venture capital and in real estate. In both of these businesses, I see continuing and, indeed, intensifying pressures that show no signs of amelioration. I'm not worried about what's happening to inexperienced or reckless managers or to over-leveraged folk. My concern is for solid, able conservatives who are being hurt and hurt badly by what appears to me to be very close to a simple unwillingness on the part of banks to lend to small business and real estate. Let me give you some examples. 7 Honorable John Sununu page Two 22 August 1991 In early stage and startup venture capital, in which I am involved, we normally put up perhaps $300,000 to $500,000 to start a new enterprise. After a company demonstrates for a year or so consistent and exciting growth and profitable operation, we could take them to a bank for additional financing, and they would no longer be dependent upon us. That's no longer true. Now we have to stay with even our most successful companies for another stage or two, thus greatly limiting the number of startups which we can manage with our capital. Since such startups are vital to job formation in our nation, the reduction in entrepreneurial effort as a conse- quence of the credit crunch places real limitations on the growth of the economy. In the real estate business, the bank windows are just plain closed. Good deals are falling apart for lack of even conservative financing. John, I fear it's going to snuff out and reverse the recovery if something is not done promptly and effectively. I know that the banks publicly state that they're lending and it's business as usual. When you get them in a quiet corner though and they let their hair down, they admit that the truth is far from their public utterances. And if they're sure nobody's listening, they blame Clarke and the feds. I have been raising alarms on this matter for well over a year. John Heinz and I worked very closely together, and John set up, at my request, a meeting last fall with the principal able developers of eastern Pennsylvania (Rouse, Linpro, Evans, etc.), some principal bankers, and some principal businessmen. The meeting was notable for Clarke's lack of candor on the matter and for the banks' timidity in openly facing up to the problem. of course everybody wants a sound banking system, but as a conservative I believe in evolution, not revolution, even in regulatory matters. Congress started the trouble by cutting the value of real estate about 30% (depreciation rules, active/passive rules, capital gains). You can't expect to reduce banks' principal assets by 30% by legislative fiat and not have dislocations. These dislocations need to be handled delicately. I'd be glad to share the material that John Heinz and I were working on The Honorable John Sununu Page Three 22 August 1991 before his death with any member of your staff if that would be helpful. The long and the short of it is that I think the economy is a good deal more precarious than is being publicly admitted, and I fear for next year. John, it was so very kind of you and Nancy to come to Montpelier last Friday for Dick's service. I know he would have been pleased. Warm regards, lusses Charles D.

(EOS). This is the second in a series of annual public opinion surveys of environmental issues on which I have been one of the principal investigators. EOS2 examined public awareness and perceptions on a number of general environmental issues, as well as five specific issues with which Congress has been dealing this session. Those issues are: oil exploration and drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR); Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards (CAFE); wetland protection; and the reauthorizations of the Clean Water Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. If you should have any questions after reviewing the report, please don't hesitate to call.

It has been an avid interest of mine for many years. In addition, as you know I am a lawyer. Having been a civil litigator for many years (four of which as an Assistant United States Attorney representing the United States and the various Federal agencies when they were named as defendants), I wholeheartedly agreed with the recent comments made by the Vice President on the role the legal profession is having on the competitiveness of American industry. I would appreciate whatever assistance you could give me or if you could point me in the right direction. So that I will not bother you twice, I am also interested in working on the campaign, perhaps doing some advance work. Could you give me the name of someone who I could contact about this? Best regards, Sincerely, The Peter Schaumber
