THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON

MEMORANDUM FOR:
MICHAEL K. DEAVER
FROM:
FREDERICK J. RYAN, JR. 77R
SUBJECT:
Areas of Responsibility
As you requested, I have prepared the following outline of my areas of
responsibility. This memorandum addresses responsibilities without going
into detail about the systems and processes that we use in performing
these responsibilities. If you would like, I would be happy to prepare a
separate memorandum on that subject.
1. Appointments and Scheduling
My office receives all internal and outside requests for the President's
time. These include requests for White House meetings, trips, video-
tapes and special phone calls. We staff these through the White House
for comments, then bring those with positive recommendations to the
Long Range Scheduling Meeting or directly to Mike Deaver for a final
decision.
2. White House Speakers Bureau
As part of the Appointments and Scheduling Office, we operate a
Speaker's Bureau to schedule Cabinet members and surrogates into
events that the President is unable to accept.
3. "Presidential Themes and Events" Memorandums
As part of the Presidential "theme" program, we prepare a
memorandum of "Proposed Presidential Themes and Events." We then
present this memorandum for discussion at the Communications Group
Meeting.
4. Creative Scheduling Ideas
The staff of the Appointments and Scheduling Office is always keeping
its eyes and ears open for potential events that might be consistent
with a current Presidential theme or generally good for the President's
image. These include meetings in the White House, potential trips and
spontaneous events. These proposed events are communicated directly
to Mike Deaver verbally or in the form of a written memorandum.
Page 2
Areas of Responsibility
April 2, 1985
5. Heroes File
We have recently been maintaining a file of individuals who have
performed heroic deeds or overcome great obstacles. On a periodic
basis, we propose to Mike Deaver that the President meet with one of
these "heroes." They have generally been enjoyable meetings for the
President as well as positive news stories.
6. Project Officers for Miscellaneous Events
I have served as project officer for a number of Presidential events
that do not fall into the responsibility of other White House offices.
These have included:
Sporting related events (ex., photo sessions with championship
sports teams). This has recently included the President's Council
on Physical Fitness.
Meetings with personal friends of the President (ex., doing
briefing papers when old friends come in to see the President).
Spontaneous events.
Medal of Freedom Ceremony (recently added).
7. Honorary Chairmanships and Memberships
We have been responsible for handling all requests for the President to
serve as honorary chairman or member of a specific event or
organization. An updated list is sent to Mike Deaver on a monthly
basis.
8. Presidential Diary
The Presidential Diary is part of the Appointments and Scheduling
operation. At the conclusion of each day, all material relating to the
President's activities (i.e., meeting attendees lists, telephone logs,
Secret Service movement logs, etc.) are forwarded to our office for
inclusion in the Presidential Diary. This information is then assembled
into a computerized summary of the President's day. Information
contained in the Diary is very closely held and will be used for
historical purposes as well as being used in our current scheduling
process.
Page 3
Areas of Responsibility
April 2, 1985
9. Miscellaneous Memorandums and Reports
On a regular basis, we send a variety of memorandums and reports to
Mike Deaver. These reports include:
1. Foreign Visitors List. This is an up to date list of all foreign
visitors that the President is scheduled to see and proposed
meetings that are awaiting Mike Deaver's approval.
2. Monthly Summary of Presidential Time. This is a monthly report
of how the President's time was used the previous month. It
includes an office-by-office breakdown in terms of hours/minutes
as well as percentages of the President's time.
3. Summary of Long Range Scheduling Meeting. This is a report on
the number of requests that each staff member had at the Long
Range Scheduling Meeting and the percentage that was approved.
4. Special Assignments. From time to time we are asked to do
miscellaneous special reports relating to the scheduling of the
President.
10. Private Sector Initiatives
As you know, I have recently assumed responsibility for the Office of
Private Sector Initiatives. Since its inception, the office has operated
as an independent office because of the personal priority that the
President attaches to the program and the many opportunities that it
presents for positive "image" events.
We have been very successful in our recent reorganization and
revitalization of the program and have many exciting projects
underway.
When occasional issues arise requiring Mike Deaver's attention, they
are raised to him directly by Fred Ryan.

MEMORANDUM FOR MICHAEL K. DEAVER
FROM:
MICHAEL A. McMANUS, Jr. mamen
SUBJECT:
Scheduling Office Matters
I've asked Fred Ryan to work on a couple of projects for us
while we are gone, and to have that material ready upon our
return.
The first project will to be to put together a plan for the
use of our official surrogates through the Speakers' Bureau
office, which is now under Fred Ryan's direction. Fred will
create a list of important states, events and media markets
which should be visited over the next six months. He will
then devise a list of the best administration spokespersons
for a series of important issues and propose a plan whereby
we can coordinate the official speakers' program and
targeted areas from May through October. The proposal will
also address the question of perceived lack of coordination
and cooperation with some of the departments. In these
cases, I think it would be worthwhile to have you or Jim
Baker place a call to the Cabinet Secretary asking him to
put out a memorandum requesting support of speaking requests
which are being filled through Fred's speakers' program.
The second project I asked Fred to work on is to see if he
can devise a series of themes to be put on the schedule from
May through at least August so that we have an opportunity
upon our return to focus on some creative scheduling ideas
for high-profile Presidential events during this relatively
"down" period of time. I've already discussed with Lee
Verstandig, Frank Donatelli, Craig Fuller and Pam Bailey,
some of their ideas for events and themes which can be part
of our schedule during this period.

SUBJECT:
Presidential Events, May - August 1984
This memo suggests general themes and specific Presidential events for the
period from May - August 1984. Attached is a Presidential Block Calendar
with proposed events included in bold type.
I.
SENIOR CITIZENS
With May being "Older Americans Month," there is a natural "hook" for
planning some senior citizens events during this time frame.
1. Mothers' Day lunch at nearby senior citizens home - We have located
two potential senior citizens homes that the President could visit while
en route back from Camp David on Mothers' Day, May 13. Both are
designed for middle class senior citizens and are predominately
women. The locations in Wheaton, Maryland and Manassas, Virginia
are ready to be surveyed by the Advance Office.
2. Luncheon with prominent senior citizens, May 16, 1984 - This
luncheon at the White House could be used to recognize senior citizens
who have excelled as senior citizens. This would include older
individuals who have broken athletic records, excelled in their
profession at an older age (i.e., Strom Thurmond) or deserve
recognition for their special service (i.e., outstanding volunteer
service, etc.).
II. BLUE COLLAR
This category includes sporting events, veterans events, and outdoor
activities.
1. Visit nearby truck stop to sign Transportation Week proclamation -
May 14, 1984 - There are several major truck stops in helicopter
range from Washington where the Transportation Week (May 13 - 20)
proclamation could be signed. We have a list of possible locations
that we will forward to the Advance Office if you would like a survey
conducted.
2. Armed Forces Day event, May 19, 1984 - One possible option would
be the event the campaign is suggesting at McGuire Air Force Base in
New Jersey (see campaign memorandum). However, I suggest that we
consider a live Presidential address via satellite on radio and
television to every U.S. military installation around the world.
Page 2
Presidential Events,
May - August 1984
April 30, 1984
It could be incorporated into many of the Armed Forces Day events
that will be taking place at military bases around the world. The
visuals of the President addressing every serviceman or woman in the
U.S. military would be fantastic. The groups would vary from large
family gatherings at major bases to small numbers of servicemen huddling
around a radio at some of the more remote outposts. The President's
remarks could be in the form of a tribute to the men and women in the
military and a thank you from the country that they are defending.
3. Ceremony for Viet Nam Tomb of the Unknown Soldier - This is
presently scheduled for Memorial Day, May 28, 1984.
4. Flag Day event at Fort McHenry, June 14, 1984 - A very patriotic
Flag Day event could be created at this site where the Star Spangled
Banner was written.
5. Attend 50th Anniversary of the Smokie Mountain National Park
Gatlinburg, Tennessee June 15, 1984 - This has been highly
recommended by the Department of the Interior and supportive
environmentalists as a perfect site for a Presidential event. The park
was created in 1934 by President Roosevelt and will be 50 years old
on June 15, 1984.
6. Address Army Boot Camp at Fort Dix, New Jersey, June 20, 1984 -
This would provide great visuals of the President talking to these
new recruits about a strong America and the role that they will be
playing.
7. Visit to an animal habitat supported by the Duck Stamp, July 2,
1984 - There are several habitats that are supported by the Duck
Stamp in Virginia and Maryland. If you are interested in this
proposal, Steve Studdert could be dispatched to survey which site
presents the best possibilities.
8. Statue of Liberty Centennial event July 4, 1984 - On Independence
Day the kick off will begin for the Centennial celebration of the
Statue of Liberty. It would be a good opportunity to go back to
Liberty Park, New Jersey for a repeat of the fantastic Labor Day
event in 1980.
9. Attend 60th Anniversary Ceremony at Boy Scout "Camp Arrowhead"
Springfield, Missouri - "Camp Arrowhead" is one of the largest
summer camps in the United States. This summer will be the 60th
year that it has been in operation. They are planning a reunion
of some of the boy scouts who have attended over the years and
would be willing to schedule it at the President's convenience.
10. Chesapeake Bay Oystermen's Event, June 17, 1984 - This would be
an opportunity to reschedule the event that we had previously
considered for early April with the Oyster Fishermen to highlight
the clean up of the Bay.

Presidential Events,
May - August 1984
April 30, 1984
11. Attend the Little League World Series - Williamsport, Pennsylvania
August 22, 1984 - This all-American event would be a great prelude
to the President's attendance at the Republican Convention.
12. Address the V.F.W. National Convention - Chicago, Illinois
August 24, 1984
III. CATHOLICS
1. Commencement Address to Loyola University - Chicago, Illinois
Saturday, May 26, 1984 - This would be a good opportunity to reach
the ethnic Catholic community. In addition to the commencement
address, we could include an ethnic event in Chicago. Possibilities
include attending a backyard party in honor of one of the local ethnic
graduates or a visit to a Chicago ethnic restaurant.
2. Commencement Address to Mount St. Mary's College - Emmitsburg,
Maryland, Sunday, May 27, 1984 - This commencement address could
be delivered on Sunday afternoon en route back to Washington from
Camp David.
3. Address to the Knights of Columbus National Convention - Denver,
Colorado, August 7, 1984 - Although this falls during the time that
the President is scheduled to be at the Ranch, it could be done
during a day trip to Denver. This is the premier Catholic forum
in the country and should not be missed during an election year.
IV. WASTE AND FRAUD
Although I know that Richard Wirthlin's data is continuing to show that
waste and fraud in government spending is of major importance to the
American public, I suggest that we pursue this with caution. Until we
are able to make some major progress in cutting waste and fraud in the
Defense Department, the media will certainly "balance" any story about
cutting waste in other departments with a defense story.
In addition to the events suggested in Pam Bailey's communicátion plan,
I suggest the following possibilities:
1. White House Event to Recognize "Waste and Fraud Fighters" - This
would include federal employees from every department that have
made suggestions which have reduced waste and eliminated fraud.
Certificates could be presented to those whose suggestions have
resulted in major savings.
2. Opening Statement at Presidential Press Conferences - In order
to be able to go directly to the public to report on waste and
fraud, he could make a brief statement to report on accomplishments
in reducing waste since the last press conference.

May - August 1984

IV. MISCELLANEOUS OPEN EVENTS
The following events could be added to the President's schedule at a
time and location that you feel is appropriate.
-
visit a volunteer fire department
-
visit a fishing tournament
-
visit the Police Memorial and Hall
of Honor - Miami, Florida
-
visit a county fair
-
spontaneous visit to an ethnic
restaurant in Washington or on

April 30, 1984
MEMORANDUM FOR: MICHAEL K. DEAVER
FROM:
FREDERICK J. RYAN, JR
FJR
SUBJECT:
Campaign Travel Recommendations
As you requested, I have talked with Lee Atwater about possible campaign
trips in the immediate future. He has consulted with Bob Teeter and makes
the following recommendations (in order of priority):
1. Trip to Ohio
The Ohio Primary takes place on May 8, 1984. The Campaign
recommends that the President visit Ohio as soon as possible after the
May primary. Attached is a memorandum from Lee Atwater with sug-
gested events and a copy of Steve Studdert's survey of the proposed
sites.
2. Trip to New Jersey
The Campaign has suggested that a Presidential visit take place
before the New Jersey Primary on June 5. Possible events proposed
by the campaign include an address to the State Legislature and a
dedication ceremony for the Thomas McGuire Memorial at McGuire Air
Force Base.
3. Trip to Alabama
Although it is not an immediate priority, Lee Atwater suggests that a
trip be planned to Alabama. The event should be blue
collar/populous oriented. We will work with him to develop some
possible events for your consideration. One initial idea would be to
build an event around a tribute to Coach Bear Bryant.
One additional point raised by Lee Atwater which merits consideration
is the need for the campaign to pay for some travel in the near
future. This would be a way to take off some of the heat from the
growing number of news stories charging that the President is using
official events for campaign purposes.

OHIO EVENT PROPOSALS
The collapse of John Glenn's campaign has created & Vacuum
in Ohio Democratic politics. Mondale, Bart, and Jackson will
campaign heavily in the Buckeye State, but moderate/conservative
"Glenn Democrats" have nowhere to go in the May 8 primary.
A great opportunity exists for the President to come to
Ohio and win over much of the disaffected Glenn constituency.
Ohio is, after all, a swing state. No Republican has been
elected to the White House without carrying Ohio. Recall that
Gerald Ford lost Ohio by just 11,000 votes in 1976.
An Ohio event targeted at working and middle class blue
collar Democrate and Independents could have reverberations far
beyond that single state. As the Democratic Party is moved
leftward by the dynamic of the three-way primary battle, we
must be ready with our own message of prosperity, traditional
values, and peace through strength. Middle of the road Democrats
need to be reminded that while they may not have a responsible
alternative in May, they will have one in November--Ronald Reagan.
Below are brief summaries of three Ohio event proposals.
1. Cleveland. The President addresses a rally at the
Cleveland Coliseum. Working with the Teamsters and
Mayor George Voinovich, it would be possible to fill
this 18,000 seat arena with cheering blue collar workers.
This event could be ready to go by the time the
President returns from China.
2. Canton. The President visits the National Football
9-5
League Hall of Fame. The ideal date would be Friday,
216-456-8207
July 27, the kickoff of "Football's Greatest Weekend."
On the evening of the 27th, the President could address
the Enshrinees Civic Dinner which will honor the five
most recent enshrinees to the Pro Football Hall of
Fame.
Other events could be scheduled to coincide with the
Grand Parade (estimated attendance: 300,000) or Ball
of Fame Football Game (covered by ABC-TV).
3. Canton. The President could visit the Faircrest Steel
Plant. This facility, owned by an American producer
(The Timken Company), represents & $500 million invest-
ment in America's future. Eight hundred construction
workers are on the job now. When the plant is completed
in 1985, Faircrest will permanently employ about 800
steel workers.
The President could visit the Faircrest site at any
time. There is an obvious potential tie-in with the
Hall of Fame event proposal.
A final note: The Faircrest plant is unionized, as is
much of Northeastern Ohio. There is a danger that the unions
would make a serious attempt to disrupt a presidential visit
to Cleveland or the Canton steel mill. Given enough advance
notice, it is even possible that Mondale would stage a counter-
rally. The danger of negative union activity will be more acute
after the Democratic Convention (July 16-19).
4. Democrats for Reagan-Bush. Roger Stone, Bob Teeter,
and Bob Hughes, our Ohio Reagan-Bugh Co-Chair, have
been recruiting Democrats who will endorse the
President. They have come up with 15-25 substantial
individuals who are willing to play an out-front role
in the campaign.
An Ohio event could be set up in which these Democrats
declare that while they would have supported a moderate
Democrat in November, they cannot support Mondale,
Hart or Jackson.
Another possibility would be to incorporate these
Democrats into the Cleveland or Canton events.

MEMORANDUM TO WILLIAM HENKEL
FROM
STEPHEN M. STUDDERT SAAS
SUBJECT
Canton & Cleveland, Ohio, Site Survey
I made an on-site visit to these two Ohio cities today
and here are my observations.
CANTON, OHIO
1. Pro Football Hall of Fame. This is a museum-like
facility located adjacent to I-77. The schedule for
the 1984 Pro Football Hall of Fame Festival is as
follows for the weekend of July 27-28:
July 27 7:15 a.m. Friday- Mayor's Breakfast at
Canton Memorial Civic Center
July 27 noon
Friday- Fashion Show Luncheon
at Canton Memorial Civic Center
July 27 6:00 p.m.
Friday- Enshrinees Dinner at
Canton Memorial Civic Center.
July 28 8:30 a.m.
Saturday- Parade through
downtown Canton
July 28 12:15 p.m.
Saturday- Enshrinement ceremony
at Hall of Fame
July 28 3:00 p.m.
Saturday- Hall of Fame game
(Seattle vs Tampa Bay) at
Fawcett Stadium adjacent to Hall
of Fame.
The Enshrinees Dinner is held in the Civic Center Arena,
with seating on the playing floor and stage. The head table
is constructed on raised platforms over the side seating area.
(A diagram is attached.) Tickets are approximately $50 (not
yet firm). It is reportedly always a sell-out.
The parade is a standard parade, through a typical downtown
area. Attendance is reported to reach 300,000, with crowds
gathering beginning Thursday night and bringing a general
air of festivity to the downtown area.
Memorandum to William Henkel
Page Two
The Enshrinement ceremony at the Hall of Fame takes
place inside, and no tickets are required. Entry
for the President could be managed, and magnitometers
could be placed without difficulty.
The Hall of Fame game is held in Fawcett Stadium,
a small size outdoor facility with seating on four
sides but with open stadium corners. There is an
elevated press box facility on one side with vehicular
access to the rear of that box. This would most
probably be the only location which. would satisfy the
Secret Service. All outside locations in the stadium
are very exposed, much of it to passing traffic on I-77.
I see no problems for the President to attend the
Enshrinees Dinner as the Civic Center is very workable
from our perspective, as is the Hall of Fame itself.
On-site indications are that the breakfast and luncheon
are the larger crowd events (due to price), use all
the function rooms, and are least managable from our
perspective.
2. Faircrest Steel. This is a major steel processing facility
currently under construction, with completion slated for
1985. It is located 7.0 miles south of the Hall of Fame
on I-77, then 2.7 miles over small rural roads to the site.
It is very out in the country.
The facility does present the answer of the U. S. steel
industry to the problems of cheaper imported steel:
automation, high technology, not labor intensive, new
facility, etc. HOWEVER, in that it is not anywhere near
as labor intensive as current U. S. steel factories, every
on-site indication is that it in fact displaces a large
number of employees. Every construction person I spoke
with on site said our number of 800 permanent workers
was way high, that what workers to be employeed will be
high tech, and that it will just result in more traditional
steel workers becomming unemployed. I was unable to
verify this as Bill Sorenson; some very specific research
is required.
A visit could be staged with relative ease. You should
note that there is significant steel unemployment (layoffs)
in the Canton area. This proposed site requires much
more research before I could be comfortable in recommending
it.

3. Cleveland Coliseum. This is a large indoor arena-type
facility located approximately twenty miles from
downtown Cleveland, almost equidistant to Akron. The
coliseum holds 20,000 with maximum floor seating,
but curtains exist which will allow reshaping the hall
to accomodate 18-19,000. The facility is a round oval
hall used for basketball, ice hockey, concerts, etc.
The facility itself is a workable site for a Presidential
event such as a rally.
My biggest concern would be the distance from population
centers to the site. It is located near the intersection
of I-77 and I-271 on Route 303. There is basically nothing
else around it.
According to the Cuyahoga County Commission, unemployment
is still very high, particularly in the blue collar
skills such as found in the steel industry. Further,
the economy there in general is not very healthy, with
the metropolitan area loosing a quarter of a million
population in the last ten years.
Bill, I did not sense that "it would be possible to fill
this 18,000 seat. arena with cheering blue collar workers.'
In fact, I think it would take a major effort to fill
it with any category people that far from the population
centers. And to do this "by the time the President returns
from China" would be a very major effort. I do believe
we could stage an effective rally with plenty of lead time
at a site much closer to population.
