Following the tragic events in Tiananmen Square in June, President Bush took action to ensure that no nationals from the People's Republic of China would be deported against their will. On November 30, the President took additional action to extend and broaden that protection. Since President Bush's directive accomplished the objectives of H.R. 2712 administratively, it was not necessary for this bill to become law. President Bush and Governor Sununu appreciate your views on this issue. In light of your interest, I am enclosing material I hope you will find informative.

Governor Sununu was flattered by your request, however, due to the large number of similar requests that come to his attention, he has adopted a policy of not participating in any of them. I'm sorry this could not be a more positive response. Nevertheless, the Governor appreciates your kindness in thinking of him, and you have his best wishes. Sincerely, Jacqueline A.

Governor Sununu is unable to make firm commitments to his schedule so far in advance. Your invitation will be reviewed in the months ahead as the Chief of Staff's schedule develops, and we will be back in touch with you if he is able to accept.

Global climate change is an important public policy issue that deserves much attention, reasoned discussion, and appro- priate action. On this, and a host of other environmental issues, the President is providing much leadership and action. The President has proposed a dramatic increase in expenditures for research and monitoring to resolve critical scientific questions. We plan to spend about a half billion dollars for this purpose in the coming year. The President invited other countries to participate with us in this research at the Paris Economic Summit last summer. The President's comprehensive Clean Air proposal calls for sharp reductions in the burning of fossil fuels from stationary sources, automobiles, factories, and a host of other commercial establishments. It also provides strong incentives for conservation, a major element in any global climate response. The President also has approved increasing corporate average fuel economy standards for U.S. automobiles. He has announced U.S. support for a worldwide phaseout of chlorofluorocarbons by the year 2000. And he has directed the development of a comprehensive national energy strategy. This February, the United States will host the next meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to help in developing a solid foundation for international action and for discussing the elements of a framework convention on global climate change. We believe this is an issue that merits the attention and commitment we are devoting to it. We appreciate your concerns and having the benefit of your views. Sincerely, John H.

The primary responsibility of the Chief of Staff is to manage the President's agenda and the day-to-day operation of the White House. He oversees the development of domestic and foreign policy, communi- cations, staff, budget, and relations with the press, the Congress, and State and local governments. He accompanies the President to most meetings and events worldwide and is often called upon to speak on the President's behalf. John Henry Sununu was born in 1939 and spent most of his childhood in New York City attending parochial elementary school and, later, the La Salle Military Academy in Oakdale, Long Island. He went on to study engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and earned his Ph. D. in 1966. While he proceeded to distinguish himself as an educator, engineer, small businessman, and community leader, he is most often remembered for his work as Governor of the State of New Hampshire. He was elected in 1983 and served for three terms until 1989, when he was asked by President Bush to serve as his Chief of Staff at the White House. He and his wife, Nancy, have eight children. In his spare time he enjoys skiing, golfing, reading, and collecting baseball cards. Governor Sununu is proud to be serving as Chief of Staff and feels that his diverse experience as an engineer and as a leader in both State government and private industry could be of special benefit to President Bush's Administration and to our nation as well. I hope this information is helpful, and it comes to you with Governor Sununu's best wishes.

As you are aware, President Bush and the American people are gravely concerned about the availability of foreign-made weapons used by criminals to commit devastatingly violent acts throughout our communities. This is an intolerable situation and will not be allowed to continue. On May 15, the President announced a comprehensive and commonsense program to effectively combat crime, with strong proposals to limit the access to illicit weapons. At the same time, the program will not infringe upon the rights of law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms. In light of your interest, I am enclosing for you a fact sheet which outlines the President's initiative in this area. Thank you for taking the time to write. Sincerely, John H. Sununu Chief of Staff Mr. Michael L.

The House of Representatives has passed and sent to the Senate the District of Columbia appropriations bill for Fiscal Year 1990, which permits Federal funding for abortions under circumstances where the life of the mother is not endangered. President Bush has announced his intention to veto the appropriation bill if it is presented to him in its current form. The President does not believe that appropriated funds should be used to pay for abortions other than in those cases where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term. Again, thank you for writing.

Stinson, Pastor August 31, 1989 The Honorable Governor John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Governor Sununu, Reading an article in the Houston Chronicle concerning Judge Paul Pressler stimulates this letter to you, sir. I was upset with the negative criticism of Judge Pressler in that article. It smells of 'sour grapes. Paul Pressler is one of the finest men I know and I have known him for some years. He has been, and is a man of integrity, who not only "has" convictions, but "speaks" them and "lives" them - daily. The criticism comes from those who have been opponents of the conservative movement among us Southern Baptist, and have 'lost' some degree of posture among some of us. When a man like Paul Pressler takes a courageous stand when no one else is stand- ing, and rallies thousands who have been looking for such a leader to lead them, then yes, he also will find those who criticize, be- cause they are the losers. I do hope and encourage you to give Judge Paul Pressler the 'best look' possible and allow 'the light of unbias' fall upon him for the office of Director of the United States Office of Government Ethics. A better man cannot be found. Sincerely, Lr. R. Hiuson H.R.

As you are aware, President Bush and the American people are gravely concerned about the availability of foreign-made weapons used by criminals to commit devastatingly violent acts throughout our communities. This is an intolerable situation and will not be allowed to continue. On May 15, the President announced a comprehensive and commonsense program to effectively combat crime, with strong proposals to limit the access to illicit weapons. At the same time, the program will not infringe upon the rights of law-abiding citizens to own and use firearms. In light of your interest, I am ençlosing for you a fact sheet which outlines the President S initiative in this area. Thank you for taking the time to write. Sincerely, John H.

The Governor asked that his name not be given for a commitment to his schedule so far in advance. If his reponsibilities are as demanding in April 1990 as they are now, he would likely have to decline. Nevertheless, if it's possible to repeat the invitation closer to the date of the event, please be assured that it would be given every consideration.
