MEMORANDUM FOR:
Charles Z. Wick
Director
FROM:
Gilbert Deputy Director A. Robinson Sil
You asked me to give some thought to the problem of exactly
the right person to be selected to replace Mr. McCoy as the
Chief of Staff for Mrs. Reagan.
Dr. Robert Filep could be an ideal chief of staff for Nancy Reagan.
He is from California, and he is an efficient, personable
and good manager. He has been well liked by all of those
people who have worked with him.
As you may remember, he was chosen and ready to take the job
as an Associate Director here, but his wife -- a professor --
was not granted tenure by the board of directors of her
college, which was a mean, small gesture on its part.
However, I now understand that, after much work, Mrs. Filep
has now worked it out so that she may be granted tenure and
would be available to come to Washington.
My personal experiences with Bob Filep go back as far as
1962, when I ran for Congress. He was my campaign manager
and directed my staff. Because of the way he handled
subsequent political campaigns for my clients in gubernatorial
and senatorial races, I utilized him both in politics and,
as time went on, for projects that I encountered in my
business and as chairman of the New York Board of Trade. I
guess in life you always keep going back to those people who
performed well for you.
I always found Bob unfailingly cheerful, efficient and a
person who exercises good judgment. I think wisdom and
judgment are the key elements in a job as chief of staff,
because not only does one encounter managerial problems, but
there are political and public relations problems arising
for Mrs. Reagan. Her image is very important, and, as we
have discussed, you and I -- and I am sure Mrs. Reagan --
are not happy with the way some issues have turned out in
the media. I think a very careful handling and projection,
with respect to timing, could be extremely helpful, and I am
positive this could be turned around if the right person
were appointed as her chief of staff.
- 2 -
Bob Filep's background presents a quite unusual combination:
*
He holds a Ph.D. and has taught as a professor at the
Annenberg School of Communications at the University of
Southern California.
* He is an expert in computer and space-age technology,
and I believe he has demonstrated his leadership as president
of several professional scientific organizations.
*
He has consulted with some of the top people in
business and industry organizations, and was a U.S. delegate
to an international space conference not long ago.
*
He is a former Air Force officer.
It is also very important to have the right family team.
Bob's wife has a Ph.D. and is a professor. She also worked
in the White House Press Office with Jim Haggerty during the
Eisenhower Administration, so she understands the White
House.
Bob is a good family man. He has a daughter who is 13 and a
son who is 11. Even at a busy time during his life, Bob
took time out to be the Little League manager for his son's
team so that he could spend time with him.
He is 49 years of age.

Dear Mr. Deaver:
d
A few months ago, Bill Skelton strongly recommended to you that I
be given serious consideration for a major post within the Administration,
as a principal policymaker dealing with the drug abuse issue.
On October 5, Dominick DiCarlo, Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-
national Narcotics Matters, offered me the post of Special Assistant, a Schedule
C equivalent of a GS-15. On October 9, I met with Ron Mann and Becky Dunlop
in Presidential Personnel, providing them with not only my credentials but
also copies of my various papers, including recommendations for block grants
and other innovations which I proposed six years ago, and are now part of
Administration policy. I also provided numerous references of prominent
Republicans and citizens well known to the Reagan Administration.
Yet, in all of this time, I have not been able to get a political clearance.
Becky Dunlop received one or more rumor-mongerer calls alleging that I had a
close relationship with a former official of the Carter Administration. When
I was Special Assistant for Federal-State Relations on Narcotics under Governor
Rockefeller and later as Director of the National Association of State Drug
Abuse Program Coordinators, I did indeed have a working relationship with Dr.
Bourne, who held top drug abuse positions in both the Nixon and Carter Adminis
strations. But, since I left that post in 1977, I have had four brief encounters
with Bourne, hardly what I would call a close relationship. Moreover, I was a
leading critic of Carter Administration drug abuse policies.
Even more to the point, I am shocked that Presidential Personnel would give
more weight to rumor-mongerers than they would to endorsements from DiCarlo,
Skelton, Dr. Richard Palmer (former head of the AMA), Dr. Evron Kirkpatrick,
Richard Parsons (who directed Ford Administration drug policies) and countless
others. I believe the calls were inspired by a disgruntled job seeker.
Two weeks ago, Becky Dunlop said she was reconsidering; two weeks ago,
Lyn Nofziger said he was inquiring. Forgive my impatience, for I certainly mean
no disrespect for any of these officials, but I have been attempting to work
for this Administration for more than a year.
I believe in this President, and want and can help Ronald Reagan succeed.
As a political scientist, I am keenly aware that he has the most unique
opportunity since Roosevelt to forge a realignment of the political process.
But, his Administration needs a few more, well-qualified people.

Hon. Mike Deaver

Washington, D. C. 20500
Dear Mike:
Thanks for the appreciation card I received this morning. What I do in our country's
and our President's behalf is quite time consuming, often expensive and sometimes
has required difficult research to be sure I am giving you the straight dope. Some
feel what I do is a waste of time, that the work is going to file 13 on receipt.
In spite of this, I do not feel happy unless I am actively working for the turn-
about. In fact, besides helping Pres. Reagan and our country, perhaps there is an
overriding factor, our critical financial position compared to ten or twenty years
ago. Inflation has frozen us out of so many things we used to be able to afford
to do. Now we are concerned about just staying solvent!
I am attaching a letter to Congresswoman Claudine Schneider of Rhode Island, where
I was raised and still have many friends. I have attempted to start this "Gypsy
Moth" expanding her thinking about her poor constituents, the great way of life we
have and the fact that we should be prepared to fight to keep it, if necessary.
She may be a lost cause, but so might Dru and I have been prior to my hearing
Barry Goldwater in 1963.
But, there is an additional factor here, James Reza, a latin of Mexican descent who
has come up the hard way. He travels south of the border on business and has first
hand knowledge of what is going on down there that has largely gone unreported. He
is unquestionably one of "us" and is a good speaker. However, I am concerned that
our opponents may harrass him. He is a brave man and says he is willing to face
this problem if it arises. In fact, because he is a fighter he is already being
harrassed by lefties in his area. He should be invited to Washington to tell his
first hand story where it counts. The only problem is that for such a visit his
expenses would have to be covered. He is already giving his "all" down here.
Please look into this. James has a kind of first hand ongoing knowledge and the
ability to recognize what he has seen that is hard to find. In fact, he would be
a good candidate for an advisory position on Latin American affairs.
Thanks again for your good work.
Sincerely yours,
Sheldon

Dear Congresswoman:
I am a Rhode Islander who has been moved to Texas by my job requirements. My
home was in Saunderstown where I grew up. For thirty years I have worked as an
engineer, though I am not a graduate. For the last twenty my wife and I have
been in the independent manufacturer's representative business, specializing
in municipal and industrial water and waste treatment.
In addition, we have spent twenty-five continuous years in active Republican
work. We started when being a Republican in Texas was rather unpopular as
over 90% of the people were Democrat - even though they had voted for Hoover
and then for Eisenhower. To be a proud Republican working for the good of
this country just got most doors slammed in one's face.
Since then we Republicans have worked our state through an almost complete
about-face. The biggest cause was a new Republicanism, first sold to us in
1963 by Barry Goldwater. Our intent changed from just trying to outdo the
Democrats at the same game to a completely new set of issues in how to produce
prosperity, a life to be proud of again, and how to defend it and keep it. In
some ways the new Republicanism was a combination of what some would consider
"liberal" ideas and others that would be considered "conservative". We do call
ourselves conservatives because our ideas contrasted greatly with those of
prosperity through more and more controls, taxation and spending. The best
that fifty years of this could produce was the direction of Lyndon Johnson and
Jimmy Carter It didn't take a scholar to realize that trillion dollar debts
and multiplying deficits could only lead to complete finan ial collapse and
that deficient military capability could only lead to the Soviet form of
slavery. Then about 1974 we discovered Ronald Reagan who personifico the
issues we believed in.
It is very disappointing to me that the Claudine Schneider my Rhode Island
friends were bragging about last summer would use her influence to try to wreck
the Reagan programs, who would join a movement, the "Gypsy Moths", a group sworn
to such an end. How can you have fiscal responsibility and yet maintair the
programs of wasteful give-aways and endless poverty? Why don't we try to
produce jobs, give our poor something to be proud of in the same way our ancestors
did?
I come from shipping people in Pautuxet. My ancestors worked up from mothing.
One was Daniel Aborn who skippered a privateer, "Chance", out of Pautuxet;
Hon. Claudine Schneider, M. C.
-2-
December 11, 1981
another was Pardon Sheldon who skippered the "Hanover" from the same home to
the Baltic and the China coast. Both of these men were lost at sea. My
grandfather was put on a train in 1856 at age sixteen with nothing but a ticket
to Boston. In 1903 he returned to Rhode Island and began a year after year four
month visit to the old Saunders House (Saunderstown). He had become a successful
merchant and real estate business man in Savannah, Georgia, with hardly more than
a grade school education.
What I am getting at is that our poor. will always remain poor on welfare and
those of us in the lower middle class are fast being reduced to that same level.
We all must make the most of it or we 'll all be Soviet puppets eeking out a
meager life without choice. Let us not kill the goose who can and will give us
the golden eggs of a prosperous future.
Let us all study the programs being offered to us and then seek to put them into
operation. Let us put an end to the Volkers who would manage our money to
accellerate the bust, for only with a sound and stable money system can we achieve
the results WE desire.
Attached you will find some economic history and a diagram of the "Table of
Prosperity" we so badly need. In addition, if we are to stay free, must always
be ready, willing and able to defend it - just like our New England ancestors did.
In the foregoing I have tried to show you that it is absolutely essential that we
have, let us call it the "four legs to prosperity". But, in addition, we must
never forget that there will be no prosperity unless we follow the example of our
forefathers. These demonstrate that we must have not only the tools for defense,
but also a determined will that we cannot, must not, permit the means for life,
the American way, to be taken from us. Our good life will not remain for long
without that will and the materials required for us to win. History has proven
that the agressor has only contempt for weakness. This is as true today as it
was in those of Kubla Kahn, Napoleon and Adolph Hitler.
One more item that has had little publicity in our nation: Do you realize how
close the Soviets are to puppetizing the whole of Central America? It began with
Cuba in the late fifties. Now with our misplaced regard for human rights,
particularly with Panama and Nicaragua, we have permitted, no, aided the Soviets
through their Cuban lackies to infiltrate and spread their terror from Panama
clear up through Mexico. We have replaced the alarm and distaste of Somosa's
treatment of trouble-makers with the horror of Soviet total domination in both
Panama and Nicaragua.
Both Latin and Anglo businessmen engaged in Mexican-American trade have told
about Soviet propaganda and (terrorist) training that is operating almost
completely open. One of these centers is as close as Monterrey. It is our own
citizens of Mexican extraction who are most concerned. An overnight coup could
happen whenever Moscow is ready. Probably the tanks and missiles will appear at
the same time.
Hon. Claudine Schneider, M. C.
-2-
December 11, 1981
If the United States does not soon help our friends among the latins to become
strong, the Soviets with a twenty year headstart will suddenly have a Central
American police state next door. You are where you can check out the truth of
this; I suggest you do it because we do not want Soviet tanks, missiles and Migs
as close as they are to Poland. Ask any Polish or French American what war on
your front lawn or back door means. The hour is late. The choice is also for you
and the Gypsy Moths.
One of these people, James Reza of Fort Worth, who travels to Mexico on business,
is willing to correspond with you or come to Washington to speak on the various
related subjects such as illegal aliens, bilingualism, Soviet-Cuban infiltration
and what goes along with infiltration. He said this morning that they are now
openly established in Cuidad Acunia, just across the Rio Grand from Del Rio,
Texas. He can be considered an expert in his field and a good example of a
Republican volunteer.
Mr. Reza is a good speaker and knows his subjects. We have heard him locally,
but he said this morning he had never yet been invited to Washington. Should
you want him to come up, his costs would have to be covered because he is just
an ordinary Latin American (Mexican descent), and one of us in the lower middle
class.
Very truly yours,
Jim Sheldon

Dear Joe:
Thank you for the opportunity to meet with you and discuss the position
of Business Liaison. I gather from you, the Secretary has some pre-
conceived ideas about the position and its applicants. I would like to
submit to you some thoughts that I have which establish my creditability
for the position.
My aggressive, high energy approach to business has enabled me to be
successful in a number of small companies that I have been responsible
for starting.
Having had these opportunities to start small companies, has also provided
me challenges and I have acquired the ability to make fundamental decisions
based on established business practices. This coupled with a portion of
common sense, goes a long way in providing me with a keen sense of direc-
tion and how to be successful. Having been appointed to Public Service
(Commissioner State of California Housing and Community Development)
by then Governor Reagan, I understand the essential need to establish an
ongoing creditability in order to be effective. It takes a certain amount
of vitality to be effective in Public Service. There are many frustrations.
However, there are also many opportunities to change the direction of the
country as the President is now trying to accomplish. I would like the
opportunity to use my aggressive approach to business and problem solving
as well as to demonstrate my ability to articulate administration policies
that must be conveyed to the business community and the public as a whole.
As a dedicated team player, with a long history of Republican service, I would
like the opportunity to serve in the position of Business Liaison. I will be
more than happy to have references write to you and address my qualifications
and abilities to handle the position.
Thanks again for your time and I look forward to a positive response.
Sincerely,
Pier A. Gherini, Jr.
President.

Dear Joe:
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the time you have taken
to get me around for various job interviews.
I have enclosed a copy of a letter to Joe Wright. I would like to vigorously
pursue the position of Business Liaison at Commerce. I would appreciate any
help or suggestions you have.
Enclosed is a cartoon which I think speaks for itself. My ability to be a
team player and spokesman for what the President is trying to do is an
asset I would like to offer. With 1982 and 1984 not far away, you need to
recruit strong individuals that can articulate the administration's goals
and achievements. I am one of those individuals.
After looking at the cartoon again - I recall something Calvin Collidge
once said: "Insight - you don't have to explain something you never said".
Thanks again for your time and efforts on my behalf. Please keep me posted
on the Commerce job or any others.
Sincerely,
Pier A. Gherini, Jr.
President.

SUBJECT
The scoop on Jay Summerall
Otto Wolf has clearly been a complicating factor in resolving
Jay's job situation. I talked with Jay at length today and
I also met with Martha Hesse, Associate Deputy Secretary. Here
is what we worked out.
From this point onward Jay will deal directly with Martha, not
Otto. Martha will meet with Jay first thing Monday morning.
Jay will give her options for different offices he is interested
in at Commerce. He will also plainly tell her of his interest
in being detailed to the Task Force. She will then find him
a permanent slot that he would be happy with.
I have full confidence that working together Jay and Martha
will come up with the best thing for Jay. His present 120
day status has been extended through March 1982 so we have
some time to work with.
If you need further clarification just get back to me. I will
stay on top of it.

Dear Mr. Deaver:
I am writing to support Judge Lawrence S. Margolis, currently
a United States Magistrate for the District of Columbia and a
candidate, I understand, for appointment to be a Federal Judge.
My association with Judge Margolis has occurred through his
strong support of his daughter, Aleta, now in our ninth grade,
who has been a Holton-Arms student since joining our fifth grade
in 1977. My knowledge clearly is not that of an attorney, but
rather that of an educator with the highest respect for this man,
his ideals as a parent, his clear insight to the problems we face
as teachers, and that parents face in our society. As is true
SO often, we know well our parents through the attitudes, partici-
pation, and outpouring of their children. No parents could be
prouder of the work they have done with their daughter. Aleta
has performed as an outstanding student here, as well as being
a substantial participant in a broad range of activities.
Of course, I know of the reputation of Judge Margolis as
a professional, unfailingly fair and objective, and of unquestionable
integrity. I know, also, of his unusual and strong background as
an aeronautical engineer, giving him strong technical knowledge.
Clearly, this additional background is considered important in
view of the increasing complexity of technological cases which
find their way into Federal court.
I take pride in the strong support our parents bring to our
work as teachers. I would like to take this opportunity to turn
the table and to endorse Judge Margolis with enthusiasm and con-
viction as his candidacy for the Federal judgeship is considered.
I appreciate fully the enormous task this choice and decision
presents, and thank you for the opportunity of sharing my thoughts
with you.

That goal has, thank God, been accomplished. As repre-
sentatives of our President within our Cuban-American
community, it is also our continuing duty and obligation to
advise our Administration on matters of great concern to
all Cuban-Americans.
As you might surmise, the appointment by the President
of a Cuban-American from South Florida to serve on the
above mentioned Commission is being awaited with great
anticipation and the individual(s) so named to this post
will be identified as one of the President's most trusted
and respected representative of Cuban-Americans in the
United States.
The purpose of this writing is not to promote our
candidacy to this coveted post. We have both agreed to
waive our personal aspirations in the hope that our recom-
mendation, set forth below, will carry greater weight with
you.
Page Two
It is imperative in our estimation that the Cuban-
American candidate from South Florida presently being
considered to serve on this post not be selected. The
reasons are many and we would welcome the opportunity to
discuss our concerns candidly with you.
We do feel that there are other individuals whose
personal abilities and stature in our community would be an
asset to our President, to this crucial Commission, and
would be a source of pride to all Cuban-Americans.
We recommend you consider the selection of Jorge Mas
Canosa to this post.

Helen was a full-time volunteer on Prop. 1.
I interviewed her at the request of John Herrington

several vacant positions for which she was qualified.
Unfortunately, the meeting did not go well with Cindy

Shortly thereafter Mary Ann Urban assumed responsi-

been telephone contact between Helen and Mary Ann, but
to my knowledge nothing has been found for Helen.
Al Sisson was interviewed by George Astengo who in turn
arranged a meeting with Pat Pizella at GSA. Pizella
reports "Al did not have enough of what we wanted. He

FOR ADMINISTRATION
SUBJECT:
FURLOUGH DURING APPROPRIATIONS LAPSE
At midnight, November 20, 1981 the continuing resolution providing
appropriations for the Executive Branch for fiscal year 1982
lapsed. The President has vetoed the continuing resolution
subsequently adopted by the Congress because it exceeds budget
projections. Accordingly, the Executive Branch is now without
funds.
The Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. Section 665, prohibits any
government official from obligating or expending funds in the
absense of an appropriation and this includes funds for non-
essential personal services. It is necessary, therefore, that
we furlough all employees whose work is not essential to the
projection of the national security, the preservation of essential
health and law enforcement services, the protection of life and
property, and the orderly phasing down of government functions
during the appropriations lapse.
You are hereby notified that you are being furloughed, effective
noon on November 23, 1981. You should secure your files and
close your office at that time and vacate the building. It is
important that you remain within telephone reach of the White
House Office so that you can be contacted, if necessary, and can
be notified when the availability of appropriations permits
termination of the furlough. Furloughed personnel are not to
return to the Office until recalled. If you become aware of some
essential work left uncompleted in your office, telephone the
appropriate official remaining on duty.

Dear Mike:
As perhaps you know, I have been somewhat under the

I would ordinarily call you on the attached letters from

best to send them directly to you and let you handle the
subject any way you see fit. I can only add that I have a
great amount of respect for George Champion and, although

respect George's recommendation. In addition to these two

Dear Jus:
I am a little reluctant to keep pressing my case for
Craig Roberts but today I had lunch with Larry Silberman
who expresses the same concern many of us hold, namely,
that Ed Meese is hesitant to take the leadership in
bringing to the President ideas and programs, that Baker
is moving more and more into control of the triumphant
and while he is a good man particularly in organization
he doesn't inherently have the dedication to the policies
which elected the President which we feel are essential
to preserve, rightly or wrongly. There is a broad
consensus here that Ed needs the kind of guidance that
Craig Roberts would give, if he were willing to accept it,
in the White House. The only one that can change that
situation, in our opinion, is the President himself. I
feel and I know this is shared by others that, unless a
strong right-hand is developed through Ed Meese, there
will be a continuation of conflict which is detrimental
to the President and his Administration. Consequently,
if Craig is not going to get the Federal Reserve job and
I have reason to believe that my proposal of his name was
one of the reasons for Marty Anderson's name being leaked
as a potential for the Fed, you would be doing this
country a great service if you could convince President
Reagan that he has to take his stand, as he did before,
on the programs that elected him and that he needs a
Craig Roberts to put them in the proper perspective.
This is generally the thinking that I tried to get across
to you on our last telephone conversation but since then
I have talked to three of your friends here who are just
as concerned as I am and feel that Craig is the man who
could give the necessary leadership.
Best wishes,
Amg

Dear Jus:
I am terribly distrubed because I feel our President is in deep
trouble basically because he has not surrounded himself with the
strong leadership that is vital to bring us out of the chaotic
condition of the financial world which has been developing over
the last thirty years. He was elected because he promised
specific tax reductions and a sound fiscal monetary policy based
on the reduction of the governmental expenditures and a
lessening of governmental controls. A balanced budget was
assured. Congress, however, failed to give him the tax program
which he advocated and the reduction in expenditures necessary
which many of us felt at the time was not enough. The securities
market is telling you and his own Cabinet members are suggesting
that there is a recession which we cannot deny but this will
increase the Federal deficit and means that we are in the unusual
dichotomy of a tight monetary policy and a stimulative fiscal
policy. There is no way to turn this country around under these
conditions.
As a result, the Keynes and other liberals in the newsmedia
are beginning to say I told you so it wouldn't work. Our Secretary
of Treasury has certainly not exerted the leadership vital for that
all-important post. I need not tell you that there have been too
many differences of opinion expressed at the Cabinet level which is
grist for the mill of the commentator. The answer to this, in my
opinion, is an urgent appeal to the President to reassert his
leadership making it clear to those who disagree with his basic
philosophy that their tenure will be limited. In order to
accomplish this means strengthening materially the second tier
advisors for it certainly would be inappropriate to, at this time,
make a shift at the Cabinet level. Ed Meese needs a man like
Craig Roberts whose experience and excellent mind would be of
tremendous value to him and the President. I am concerned because
I hear that Meese is sponsoring Marty Anderson for the Federal
Reserve job. Marty is a protege of Burns who certainly doesn't
stand out as a great leader while at the Fed. Anderson, I'm
afraid, will blow with the wind which is what the Fed has been doing.
The members of the Fed themselves are anxious to have Jordan who
is on the Economic Advisory Council and again one who will not

October 23, 1981
Mr. Justin Dart,
disturb the cabbage patch.
One of the great promises Reagan made was that business and
individuals would be able to plan ahead. Today, with suggested
changes in taxes, that thought is being undermined. The plan
for reduction in expenditures is less than it should be but a
dedication towards reducing expenditures over a period of time
will re-establish the confidence vitally needed in fiscal affairs.
Of course, Bill Simon would be the ideal advisor in the Treasury
Department but I see the difficulties there. He would be of
tremendous value to the President if he would see him on a
monthly basis, merely on fiscal and monetary policies.
You are the only one I know who can place this before the
President effectively but the seriousness of the situation, in
my mind, requires you to take this important message to him for,
if he doesn't change the thinking of those around him, he is in
deep trouble and this we would all hate to see.
Best wishes,
Amg

Dear Jus:
The Federal Reserve Board needs strengthening, as you
well know, and there will be an opening in January
which should be filled by an individual of broad
experience, excellent judgment, and indeed has been a
supporter of the Administration's programs. I have,
for some time, been trying to come up with the proper
name but only did last week when this stupid mind
finally thought of Craig Roberts. As you know, he is
Assistant Secretary of Treasury for Economic Affairs.
His background of experience with the Wall Street
Journal is superb. He was one of the great contributors
to Jack Kemp's programs and policies. I just talked to
Jack and he shares the view that Craig would be a great
individual for the vacancy on the Federal Reserve.
Indeed, in my opinion, he should be Paul Volcker's
successor. I am sure, because of your close association
with Jack, you know Craig and his fine mind.
Anything you can do to push his name for this job would.
be a great service to this country.
Best wishes,
Sincerely,
TReas.

Dear Holmes:
I tried to call you yesterday and will again tomorrow
but in case I fail I am enclosing Craig Roberts'
resume. I have known this young man for some time
and I'm confident that he would be an extremely
capable person as Under Secretary of Treasurer for
Economic Affairs. He wrote some of the finest
articles that we had in the Wall Street Journal so
you may be familiar with his style.
Ron has certainly handled himself in top fashion
ever since the election and I am just as pleased as
I'm sure you are also.
Best wishes,
Hung
Sincerely,
Encl.
