EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR December 16, 1989 Honorable John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Sununu: It was a pleasure meeting you last evening at the fund raiser for Bill Grant. Your words of confidence in the Congressman will go a long way in getting him reelected. There is a situation you can help us with that means a lot to people all over the country, particularly in New England and the mid Atlantic as well in Congressman Grant's District which is reflective of the entire Gulf of Mexico. As you can see from the enclosed letter I recently sent to Secretary of Commerce Mosbacher, there is great turmoil in the fishing industry over some proposed Emergency Regulations on Swordfish that the National Marine Fisheries Service wants to pass. The Emergency Rules would be unilateral action on a multi-lateral stock of fish and would only result in saving more swordfish and tuna for Spain, Cuba, Mexico and other countries who fish on this same stock of fish. The answer lies in international negotiations. Two other factors should be added to the letter I sent the Secretary. 1. The Vietnamese factor 2. The economic factor of allied industries. Many Vietnamese refugees are at the point, in their adoption of our country, of owning their own boats, creating jobs and becoming part of the fabric known as America. To close them down, as well as other American fishermen, by unnecessary Emergency Rules would set them back considerably and take away the hope we are offering them. In talking to just one fish company owner in Panama City, Florida, yesterday, I was informed that his small company spent over 5 million dollars with Delta Airlines shipping tuna overseas. We don't think any consideration has been given to the potential losses to be suffered by other industries, such as the airlines, if swordfish and tuna production is prohibited by U.S. fishermen as proposed in the Rules. This money received from our export of tuna and swordfish ends up on the good side of our trade deficit. We understand the National Marine Fisheries Service plans to implement these Emergency Rules by January 1, 1990 for a 90 day period and then another 90 day period after which a Secretarial Fisheries Management Plan will be in place. It doesn't take a genius to understand if you take a small businessman's ability to make a living away from him for six months, then chances of his recovery are very slim. We had another set of "Emergency Rules" shoved down our throats several years ago and that particular fishery is still closed to U.S. fishermen, even though the Scientists on the Stock Assessment Group were recently quoted on page 38 in the December 1989 issue of the National Fisherman as saying, "THE BRIEF DIRECTED FISHERY ON OFFSHORE ADULTS IS NOT CONSIDERED A MAJOR CAUSE OF THE DECLINE IN SPAWNING STOCK BIOMASS". What a tragedy and what a misuse of power. It will take intervention at the highest levels of government to "catch this horse before it gets out of the barn". On behalf of all the affected fishermen in Bill Grant's District and all other Districts similarly affected, we ask for your help on this one.

John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: Please find enclosed analyses of two of President Bush's recent nominees, Clarence Thomas for the U.S. Court of Appeals and Robert Sweet for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. As you know, Mr. Sweet is a native of New Hampshire. We send these to you as a way of endorsing both nominees, encouraging the President to campaign strongly for them, and offering these as tools in that process. We are committed to promoting nominees who can help shift public policy approaches based on traditional moral values. If Save America's Youth can help in matters affecting youth, we want to do so. Please find enclosed a booklet about our organization. In addition to those listed on page four, the following individuals are confirmed members of our Advisory Council: Senator Jesse Helms; Representatives Bob Dornan, Clyde Holloway, Bob McEwen, Henry Hyde, Mel Hancock, Duncan Hunter, and Barbara Vucanovich; and Mr. Benjamin Hart.

Sunuhu: On behalf of all of us here at "This Week with David Brinkley" I would like to thank you for taking the time to appear on our broadcast from Malta. Fortunately the weather was enough improved Sunday that you were able to stand at the breakwater without being washed out to sea by an errant wave.

C. 20515 ANDY IRELAND November 10, 1989 TENTH DISTRICT FLORIDA Governor John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear John: The purpose of this letter is to invite you to address the Florida Realtors Political Action Committee at their annual convention in Orlando, Florida on Friday, January 12. This audience of over 400 politically active realtors from across the State of Florida will form a leadership corps in the 1990 elections and beyond. At a time when it is crucial to the Republican Party to affirm its emerging control over the political agenda of one of the most populous states in the union, it is important to motivate such groups as the Florida Realtors to participate in politics at the grass roots level. You would be an excellent Keynote Speaker to address the importance of political involvement -- the theme of this year's luncheon. Your coming to Florida for this occasion strikes me as a very appropriate follow-on to the President's speech today to the national realtors group in Dallas, and I am very hopeful that you can accept. Please let me know of your availability, and I will see to it that all the details are supplied to your office. We will take care of whatever arrangements are necessary to ensure that you have a pleasant and productive visit to our part of the country. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards.

Lauber be nominated for reappointment as a member of the National Transportation Board (NTSB) when his present term expires. Dr. Lauber's personal attributes, education, professional experience and skills are the ideal combination for outstanding service as a member of NTSB. In addition, he brought with him to NTSB a long record of significant contributions to transportation safety. In his work at NASA Ames Research Center, for example, Dr. Lauber was instrumental in the development and implementation of the Aviation Safety Reporting System, a program designed to identify and correct significant hazards before the occurrence of an accident. Similar systems are now in use worldwide, in such diverse industries as nuclear power plant operations. As a Member, he has helped to foster awareness of human factors issues among the airlines, manufacturers, and the FAA, and has stimulated the development of innovative solutions which have had a positive influence on transportation system safety. He is widely respected by transportation leaders, safety experts, and others for his forthright and objective approach to the resolution of problems. Dr. Lauber has represented the Administration and the Board very well by his conduct during the investigation of several major transportation accidents, including the midair collision at Cerritos, California; the crash of Northwest 255 at Detroit, MI, and accidents involving trains, ships, pipelines and hazardous material spills. He is a proven strong and effective advocate for transportation system safety. Sincerely, Frank L. Jensen, Jr. President cc: Mr. Chase G.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu, In July 1986 I approached Mr. Jeb Bush, with whom I was working on a special project in Miami, to be involved with the Bush-for- President Campaign. Jeb Bush introduced me to Mr. Jonathon Bush, Ambassador Walter J. Curley and the Honorable Bruce Gelb and I was invited to join the New York Team. Excited by this prospect, I moved my family to New York from Florida and worked hard in the primaries and in the campaign until Election Day. In May 1987 the President, then Vice President, wrote me a letter (attached) stating that "we will always remember your early efforts." After the election, Mr. Jonathon Bush wrote to the Transition Team saying that "I hope he will receive an appoint- ment." Mr. Jeb Bush likewise wrote to Chase Untermeyer on my behalf. The Honorable Walter J. Curley, Ambassador to France, and the Honorable Bruce Gelb, Director - U.S.I.A. wrote directly to Secretary Richard Cheney in Defense supporting my candidacy as a Deputy Assistant Secretary. Following this, Secretary Robert Mosbacher sent a support note to the Secretary of Defense. In January 1989, Mr. Chase Untermeyer forwarded White House Forms for me to complete and in February, Mr. Scott Bush, then Director-Presidential Personnel, called me to interview in Wash- ington. After an extensive interview with Mr. Scott Bush and then with Mr. Ted Lewis at the Pentagon, I was nominated as a Deputy Assistant Secretary in Reserve Affairs. I then inter- viewed in March with the Honorable Stephen Duncan, Assistant Secretary, and I was most encouraged by his remarks to be patient while the process moved forward. Both he and Deborah McMahon in the Office of Presidential Personnel advised me to stay close to Ms. Kim McKernan, then White House Liaison in the Pentagon. Unfortunately, from that point on all contact seemed to cease. I made several attempts to speak with and/or meet with Ms. McKer- nan, now Assistant to the Secretary, but was advised by her staff to be patient. Finally, in September Ambassador Walter J. Curley wrote a letter requesting the status of my nomination. I then received a letter in October stating that the Secretary had selected another candidate and that I should seek other opportu- nities within the Administration. -2- In late October I had the pleasure of speaking on the telephone with Ms. Deborah McMahon in the Office of Presidential Personnel and of meeting with Ms. Brenda Hart in Republican National Com- mittee Headquarters, both of whom expressed concern over the manner of treatment of White House recommendations by the Penta- gon. They contacted the Pentagon and were advised that I was, in fact, qualified, highly endorsed and cleared but that another candidate was selected even though I had not had any further interviews since March. They were further advised that I could continue to apply, but that the political process with the Penta- gon might best be pursued via your office. Needless to say, I am disappointed with the rejection, but even more disappointed with the manner in which the decision seems to have been made. I spent a considerable period of time working for the President in the primaries and campaign, including moving my family to New York. I followed all the rules in going through the interviewing process only to have all communication cease with the Pentagon from May until October 1989. It is difficult to accept this rejection even though qualified, highly endorsed and cleared simply because I appear to have been on the wrong politi- cal track. I am writing to request your intercession with Secretary Richard Cheney's office for reconsideration as a Deputy Assistant Secre- tary should another opening occur.

JASINOWSKI President October 26, 1989 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) supports reauthorizing the Clean Air Act to bring cities into compliance with our nation's air quality standards. The Clean Air Act has been effective in reducing air pollutants such as lead, smog, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. While we applaud the efforts of Congress and President Bush to amend the Clean Air Act, we are concerned about the enormous economic impact of pending legislation on all types of business. Small businesses offer the greatest economic opportunities in this country. More than 80 percent of the jobs created in the last decade were created by small business. NAM wants to sustain that critical part of our economic expansion and not hinder small businesses through unrealistic paperwork burdens and capital diversions. The enclosed paper entitled "Clean Air Legislation: What Cost to Small Business?" outlines NAM's concerns with and identifies legislative solutions to the permitting and enforcement titles of H.R. 3030/s. 1490. While we support ''workable'' permitting and paperwork requirements in a bill, we do not believe that the bill accomplishes that goal. NAM supports strong enforcement action against companies guilty of fraud or intentional violation of any law. However, we oppose criminal prosecution of employees (laborers, plant managers, or owner/operators) who make paperwork errors, fail to pay routine fees, submit late compliance reports or incorrectly install monitors. We urge you to review our paper and consider the impact on small businesses in your state -- the dry cleaners, autobody shops, furniture manufacturers, small paint and printing companies, metal finishers, bakeries and many more. NAM knows that the new Clean Air Act will require a large investment from all of us. But we ask you to consider the delicate balance of protecting our environment and destroying the growth potential for our nation's small businesses. We need your help in supporting realistic changes to H.R. 3030/s. integrity of the Clean Air Act. 1490 to provide for small businesses across the nation while preserving the Sincerely, Enclosure Jany J. fasinoush 1331 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Suite 1500 - North Lobby Washington, DC 20004-1703 (202) 637-3106 Fax (202) 637-3182 ID# 086033 THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENCE TRACKING WORKSHEET INCOMING DATE RECEIVED: OCTOBER 30, 1989 NAME OF CORRESPONDENT: MR.

JASINOWSKI President October 27, 1989 The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: I understand that the White House staff will very soon consider the administration's policy regarding antitrust reform for joint manufacturing ventures. NAM believes a loosening of these antitrust restrictions to be a positive step and encourages the administration to support this effort wholeheartedly. While not endorsing any particular bill at this time, NAM regards these modest changes to our antitrust laws as necessary to remove some of the antitrust fears (real or imagined) that inhibit industrial cooperation and competitiveness. The type of antitrust reforms proposed would simply make inherently risky business ventures less uncertain in legal terms. Safeguards against anticompetitive activities would remain in place. Allowing companies to pool resources, spread risk and share technologies will not eliminate the larger problems of high capital costs, short-term investment horizons and other macroeconomic ills facing American manufacturers. It would, however, be a positive action that would enable U.S. industry to compete more effectively without having to resort to increased merger activity or government-directed industrial policies. With the centennial of the Sherman Antitrust Act nearly upon us, we must recognize that the challenges posed by the future demand an antitrust approach that looks forward to the 21st century, not one that is a holdover from the 19th. I urge you to support this much-needed reform and would be pleased to explain our position to you in greater detail.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: I am enclosing for your information a statement of the United States Association of Importers of Textiles and Apparel submitted to the Trade Policy Staff Committee on reduction of tariffs and elimination of non-tariff trade measures in the Uruguay Round. The statement makes three fundamental points: 1. Textiles is the measure of U.S. credibility in the Uruguay Round. U.S. objectives of opening foreign markets to U.S. exports of goods and services cannot be achieved unless agreement is reached on textiles in the Uruguay Round. It is therefore essential that a commitment to real liberalization in textiles be made at the highest level of Government and that a U.S. proposal on the mechanism for liberalization be put forward in concrete terms at the earliest possible date. 2. The cost of the present system of special protections for textiles and apparel is enormous. The statement cites a recent Federal Trade Commission study showing the existing system of quotas on textiles and apparel costs the U.S. economy between $11.7 billion and $13.1 billion per year, and between $300,000 and $550,000 per job protected. Based upon the FTC study and U.S. Government surveys, these protections cost the poorest one-fifth of the U.S. population 8.8% of their disposable incomes. 3. There is no economic justification for imposing these massive costs on the U.S. economy. Both the textile and apparel industries have undergone substantial restructuring and adjustment in recent years, and both industries are showing positive trends in value of shipments, output, and other objective measures of economic performance. The statement also emphasizes that the Government must overcome the political pressures the domestic textiles and apparel interests are exerting to preserve their special protections if the United States is to achieve success in the Uruguay Round. The statement concludes with USA-ITA's recommendation for a U.S. position in the Uruguay Round. USA-ITA believes the United States must support the integration of textiles into the GATT and that this best can be accomplished by a phase-out of the current system through progressive liberalization during a five-year transition period following the expiration of the current Multi- fiber Arrangement in 1991. The elements of phase-out should include (1) the elimination of quotas on the least sensitive products; (2.) prohibitions against group and aggregate limits and against any reductions in quotas and trade; (3) minimum growth levels with progressively increasing growth; (4) flexibility for products under quota; (5) limits on establishing new quotas; and (6) mechanisms to ensure that products under quota not be burdened by additional trade measures or administrative actions. USA-ITA also strongly supports the reduction of duty rates on textiles and apparel from their current unconscionable levels to bring them in line with duties on other manufactured products. USA-ITA urges you to actively support this position to best achieve U.S. objectives in the Uruguay Round.

Boston, MA 02192 (617)449-0400 John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. Dear John, I spoke recently to Andy Card about my proposal to videotape a day in the life of the President. I'm tremendously excited about the prospects and hope you will agree that chronicling the President's day will give the American people a better appreciation of the pressures and responsibilities of the office and the man who fills it. The tape would also be a priceless slice of history to tuck away for future generations of Bush children. I know you are familiar with the quality of work we do here at WCVB and trust you understand the sensitivity and care with which we approach a project of this sort. The New York Times once referred to us as "possibly the best local station in the country". We have earned the Edward R. Murrow Award for over- all news excellence and last year received more national awards for excellence, including two for political coverage, than any other local station in the country. We wear our mantel with pride but do not rest on our laurels, and so hope you will allow us to move ahead with this first ever project. To the best of my knowledge, a profile of a president's day never before has been recorded. I think Mr. Bush's down-to-earth personality will make it compelling. To accomplish our project, I would like to follow and record the President's day beginning with whatever happens first, breakfast, a run, the morning briefing, and concluding with a reflective chat before he retires. I'm look- ing for a sense of how he balances priorities and diverse opinions, makes decisions, of how he must blend objectives with political reality. What are the demands on his time? How does his Chief of Staff decide who has access to him? What issues are important to him? How does he manage the stress, keep himself healthy? As for logistics, we can accomplish our work in a single day. I anticipate the need for several cameras so we can always have a crew one step ahead of him, thereby minimizing our intrusion. The set-up in no way poses the sort of intense technical preparations that must have been required for the Prime Time Live broadcast from the family living quarters. John H. Sununu October 27, 1989 Page Two I anticipate harvesting our material into an hour-long prime time documentary and a series of in-depth reports for our prime newscast at 6PM. WCVB is the leading television station in New England in terms of audience and ratings. In addition to delivering our immediate audience, we have the opportunity to make the documentary and news reports available to the nearly 100 other tele- vision stations that are members of the CONUS satellite news cooperative. I should add that while we certainly respect and admire our colleagues at the broadcast networks, we strongly believe that local television has progressed enormously over the past decade, and WCVB has been a leader in that progress. The White House and the President have recognized the enhanced importance of local television in the overall media situation in the country; granting this opportunity to one of America's pre-eminent local stations would send the best of signals to the public and the industry. I will be happy to provide any further elaboration you require and look forward to the opportunity to speak with you either by phone or in person in Washington, whichever you prefer. Thank you for considering this. Best to you and Nancy.

The Society of American Military Engineers is a non-profit professional engineer association which provides the vehicle for engineers in the Armed Forces and from all fields of civilian engineering practice and industry to meet and become better acquainted. The Society has a membership of over 27,000 with the common goal of increasing the engineer potential of the United States for the security and strength of the Nation. The Boston Post, established in 1923, with approximately 500 members, has focused its energy on assisting area college students in the engineering/environmental disciplines. To date the Post has awarded over $200,000 in scholarships to deserving students. As a matter of note, one of the scholarships, which is private/Post endowed, is reserved for Tufts University. The highlight of our program year is the awarding of these scholarships at our Annual Spring Luncheon Meeting. Our membership would be highly honored and engineering students greatly inspired if Mr. Sununu would agree to be the luncheon speaker. : The luncheon is currently scheduled from 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM at 57 Park Plaza, Boston, MA on May 18, 1990. The luncheon speaker is scheduled for 1:30 P.M. If I can be of any assistance with additional details do not hesitate to call me at (617) 973-5337.

C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu, This is to express my outrage at U.S. State Department policy of encouraging consular officials around the world to set visa policies, especially in regard to students wanting to study in America, and most especially in China now. For the U.S. Embassy in Beijing to deny a visa to Tian Shu Sui because "her grades were too good" is to expose the worst kind of racism, the kind that allows the disenfranchised poor from Vietnam, Nicaragua, and Mexico (and refuse from the jails of Cuba) to immigrate in droves, creating proliferating social problems and a good percentage of future welfare recipients but posing no real threat to the U.S. State Department's establishment image of a non-oriental, westernized, "civilized," upper-middle and upper-upper class America-- the so-called "land of the free and the home of the brave." While official Washington bathes in the intoxication of watching West Germany open their arms to 50,000 East Germans passing through the embassies of Prague and Budapest, and while official Washington encourages hundreds of thousands of Soviet Jews to emigrate to America under the guise of going to Israel, 100 million Americans who watched the Tiananmen Massacre have to sit by helplessly while a few decent and qualified Chinese students are denied chances to study in the United States by stupid cultural aristocrats in the American Embassy in Beijing. In my university department we have seven Chinese graduate students who we consider to rank among the highest and best graduate students in America. Professors from other universities report the same from their departments across the country. The Chinese students are across-the-board keenly intelligent and dedicated, quietly effective in their studies and openly receptive to the best of the Western democratic tradition. They are also apprehensive about China and its retrenchment after the democratic uprising in Beijing. I wonder how the U.S. State Department would defend its exclusionary policy to them as they ponder whether and when to return to China. I was in Tiananmen Square in July, six weeks after the Massacre. I found myself in the Forbidden City with 5000 Chinese soldiers from The University of Massachusetts is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Institution The Honorable John Sununu 2 October 13, 1989 the 27th Army. I was called "Hey Foreigner" through a bullhorn and ordered to "get out of here" with my Super-8 camera. In fact what I experienced was not very different from what Tian Shu Sui experienced in the U.S. Embassy a few yards away. What the U.S. Ambassador said to her (while she was holding her exit permit from the Chinese authorities) was in effect: "Hey Foreigner, get out of here." Shame on the U.S. Embassy in Beijing and shame on the State Department. If the time has come that students are too qualified to study in the United States, it's time that we need a state department that itself has studied harder the Constitution of the United States--and when it has finished that course, it ought to go and spend some time looking at and pondering the Statue of Liberty.

JOSEPH Executive Vice-President Mr. John Sununu Chief of Staff to the President The White House RE: 1) Preference Cargo Laws: Polish 2) Cash Transfers Dear Mr. Sununu: 1.) At a time when the Administration is, thankfully, completing a National Sealift Policy (NSP), the Administration is reportedly supporting a waiver of the cargo preference laws on food aid to Poland. The pre-classified draft of the NSP provided for the enforcement of already enacted cargo preference laws. Assuming that the classified version of the NSP contains such or similar requirement, this action adversely affects this Industry and the credibility of the Administration. Further, I feel that other countries will form a line insisting on the same waiver for the same reasons. 2.) Israel as a recipient of U.S. dollars (cash transfers) should be required to buy American made goods and transport same in accordance with U.S. cargo preference laws. Again, it is my feeling that others will insist on "cash transfers" if the above is not a requirement. I believe that continuity of the application of the NSP, Cargo Preference Laws and Cash Transfers policies, is a must for the Maritime Industry and good for the Country. I would be more than happy to discuss this with you and/or a designee. Thank you. Respectfully, Jerome Executive E. Vice Joseph gh.

Box 66082, Washington, D.C. 20035-6082 (202) 457-8851 JAK- scheduled Mr. John Sununu October 13, 1989 Chief of Staff The White House Dear Mr. Sununu, Between Oct. 13 and Oct. 27, we will be hosting Gen. Paul Albert Scherer, one of the most experienced independent observers of Soviet bloc developments. Gen. Scherer is the former head of the Militaerischer Abschirmdient (Military Intelligence and Counter-intelligence) of the West German Bundeswehr, retiring from that position in 1977. Since then he has been working as a private security consultant in West Germany. During a previous visit to Washington, D.C. last April, Gen. Scherer, in an appearance at the National Press Club, offered an estimate of the potential for a civil war in the Soviet power sphere - an estimate which has been strikingly confirmed by subsequent events. Given the frantic pace of recent developments around Gorbachov, the growing crisis enveloping the periphery and the core of the Soviet Empire, and the attendant transformation of European relations, Gen. Scherer is now prepared to upgrade and expand his previous estimates. Gen. Scherer is also extremely concerned about how public opinion in the West regarding developments in the Soviet Union has been heavily influenced by the more ephemeral and somewhat illusory aspects of the Gorbachov policy, rather than grasping the more fundamental strategic, and rather threatening, thrust of perestroika. This, combined with a certain amount of euphoria generated in the media around the Gorbachov phenomena, has created an atmosphere of wishful thinking in which significant political and military decisions are being taken, which Gen. Scherer believes could be absolutely devastating for Western defense capabilities. For this reason Gen. Scherer is anxious to meet with you in order to give you a thorough intelligence briefing on the extremely explosive situation now unraveling in the Soviet bloc. I will be giving your office a call in the next few days to see if it is possible to arrange a time for you to meet with General Scherer.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor, I understand that a former student of mine at The Tuck School of Business, Herman C. Pitts, III, is under consideration for a position in the Administration as Deputy Under Secretary for Industrial and International Programs. I would greatly appreciate it if you could assist him in any way possible. Terry Pitts was a favorite student of mine because of his interest and background in politics. We had many long discussions about the respective roles of government and private business in promoting a sound business climate. We also shared many "war stories" about our experiences in government and in campaigns. As you can see from Terry's resume (which I have enclosed) he was active in government in the city of Providence and was an early and active supporter of President Bush in 1979 and 1980. I believe that Terry has the maturity, experience, training and initiative to serve with distinction as a member of the Bush Administration. If I can answer any question about him I would be happy to talk with the person or persons who are responsible for making the decision on this appointment. On a personal note, I take great pleasure in watching your outstanding appearances on various television programs. You are making all of us in New Hampshire very proud by your service to the President. With my best personal regards. Sincerely, Bill William R.

John H. Sununu October 5, 1989 Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Subj: Speedy Confirmation of Dr. Jan Pillai to the Civil Rights Commission. Dear Gov. Sununu: The Executive Committee of the National Association of Americans of Asian Indian Descent (NAAAID), is very pleased to know that Dr. Jan Pillai, Professor of Law at The Temple University, Philadelphia, PA., has been nominated to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, to be appointed by the President of the United States. In our opinion, he is the most deserving candidate for the position for the following reasons: Dr. Pillai helped to start several political organizations such as Asian and Pacific Islanders' Civil Rights Alliance in which he still serves as the Chairman, National Association of Americans of Asian Indian Descent for the benefit of not only the Asian Americans, but also for all the Americans in the United States. It was Dr. Pillai's earnest and sincere effort that helped to achieve minority status to the Asian Indians in this country. He helped to raise over $100,000.00, as a loyal Republican, to help the last Presidential and Senatorial elections, especially from among Asian Americans. He is also a strong supporter of Campaign America for which he continues to raise funds. Being an Yale doctoral degree holder in Law, as a member of the Civil Rights Commission, we are confident that Dr. Pillai will be a great asset to the Commission. We, therefore, urge you to do everything within your powers to help him get confirmed to that position. Sincerely yours!, Executive Committee Members: Dr. George Mattamal Gurge J. Mattamal.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Chief of Staff Sununu, I am writing on behalf of the Consumer Advisory Committee to the New Hampshire Division of Vocational Rehabilitation regarding the reauthorization of the Job Training Partnership Act S 543 (HR 2039). We are deeply concerned about the proposed legislation, particularly as it impacts upon persons with disabilities. We are very proud of the interagency efforts between Vocational Rehabilitation and the New Hampshire Job Training Councils, the agency that administers the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs. We have led the nation in serving persons with disabilities in both the youth and adult programs. Through joint planning and utilization of funding for training from both agencies, over 1,000 youth and adults have become employed, productive members of our community. In times of limited resources, we feel this is the best means of assisting these individuals. It is our understanding two important changes may be made in JTPA legislation that will affect the eligibility of handicapped individuals. First, currently under discussion is the possibility of requiring individuals to be both economically disadvantaged and be a member of a legislatively identified target group. For youth, all persons would have to be a member of a target group. Yet, handicapped youth are not identified as a target group. Given the serious barrier to employment and training a handicap often creates, and given that handicapped individuals experience one of he highest unemployment rates of any demographic group, we believe that not defining handicapped youth as a target group is contrary to both the intent and goals of JTPA. Furthermore, it is counterproductive to meeting the economic needs of this nation. This population is one of the most underutilized in the labor market and one of the most expensive to publicly support. We urge your inclusion of this population as a target group. Chief of Staff John H. Sununu, page 2 October 3, 1989 The second change being contemplated is to define what constitutes a family. This is currently undefined in the JTPA legislation. Governors of over 40 states have recognized the need to define family as consisting of only the handicapped person for the purposes of determining eligibility. This is a reflection that income alone is not the best indicator of need. Rather, the financial commitment that a family must often make as it struggles to meet the needs of its handicapped member is so great as to render meaningless the family income criteria used for determining eligibility of other non-handicapped groups. Implementation of a definition of family that did not recognize this would be a serious blow the ability of JTPA to provide necessary services to the handicapped. We urge that any definition of family include the stipulation that handicapped individuals be considered as a family of one.

John Sununu Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Governor Sununu: Chase Untermeyer's letter of August 31 acknowledged receiving our first communication concerning the possible nomination of Judge Paul Pressler to head the new Office of Government Ethics. It has been suggested since that time that Judge Pressler is no longer under consideration. We have recently learned that, to the contrary, his nomination is still pending. We feel strongly that President Bush should move decisively on this and should do so now. He should take this opportunity to show that flawed and deceptive media efforts to discredit Judge Pressler will not work. We believe he should take a stand, the rumor and innuendo notwithstanding. We appreciate your willingness to solicit, consider, and respond to input from organizations like ours which care so deeply about quality leadership. We pledge our support in this matter from nomination through to confirmation. thomas Executive Thomas Sincerely, L. 3 cc: Hon.

I know through experience what could be done to fill them in. This has been a learning exper- ience for many, and does not have to end. This enclosed I.G. report does not reflect any of the 250 million dollars as stated in the enclosed letters. This figure, by the way is very conservative. If you would give me 15 minutes of your time I would like to explain to you important points that could not be described in writing. I will come to Washington at your calling. I thank you for your time. Also, thank God we have a "hands-on" president and administration. You're doing a super job. Keep up the good work - may God bless you. Bill - Most P.S.

Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D. C. 20506 Dear John: It has just come to my attention that my friend, Blanquita Cullum, is under serious consideration for the post of Director of the Women's Bureau for the Department of Labor. I am delighted to learn of this and wish to add my endorsement to the many others who would like to see her receive this important appointment! Of course, she has outstanding qualifications, and I know you have probably already learned this. But the reason I am excited about the possibility of her serving this administration is for the extra, special qualities she will bring. As a Hispanic, she has wide recognition in that community of Americans. The Hispanic community strongly supported the President and are eager to have a role in serving our country and this Administration. As a single mother-head of household, she understands very well the needs of working women and wholeheartedly supports the Presidents' policies on issues like childcare and dependent care. But, there is a quality about Blanquita that I like and admire, especially. She is a dynamic leader, yet she has the gentleness of a lady. Women like me admire that quality in other women. I just think she would be a great assest to the Bush team and I hope you will give her every consideration. With warmest personal regards, I remain, Sincerely, Diane A Jenkins Executive Director ID# 073919 THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENCE TRACKING WORKSHEET INCOMING DATE RECEIVED: SEPTEMBER 19, 1989 NAME OF CORRESPONDENT: MS.

Sununu Chief of Staff to the President White House Office 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Sununu: I write to express my support for the appointment of Major General John B. Conaway as Chief of the National Guard Bureau. The current Chief, Lieutenant General Herbert Temple will be completing a distinguished career as Chief on January 31, 1990. I can think of few military officers who understand better than John Conaway the unique role the Army and Air National Guard play in both our Nation's Defense and in meeting state needs. I believe it would be difficult, if not impossible, for the Armed Forces to perform their wartime missions without the reserve components. Therefore, we need the most able and the most experienced leadership possible for this vital component of our nation's defense. Major General Conaway has served as both Director of the Air National Guard and Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau. During his tenure in these assignments, the National Guard has been modernized and has truly become an integral part of the U.S. Army and Air Force. Most recently, General Conaway has served as the National Guard's point man on drug interdiction, and, through his efforts, cooperative agreements that enable Guard units to enhance and assist the war against drugs have been developed with State Governors. Mr. John H. Sununu September 11, 1989 Page 2 Major General Conaway exemplifies the joint service perspective needed in the Department of Defense. He is concerned with the quality of life and support of the young men and women under his command. He is frequently in the field with Army and Air Force Guardsman -- with combat engineers in the mountains of Honduras or with KC-135 tanker crews refueling F-15 fighters over the Bering Sea or with District of Columbia helicopter crews on a drug interdiction mission over Washington, D.C. He is the type of leader that our troops and airmen will follow gladly. I strongly recommend Major General Conaway for appointment as Chief of the National Guard Bureau. He has the knowledge, skills, judgement and leadership qualities that the President and the Department of Defense need. ( Sincerely, Daniel K.

(504) 926-5707 STATES OF 15, 1989 CONFIDENTIAL The Honorable John H. Sununu Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20506 Dear John: Congratulations on the great job you're doing for President Bush! I know you'd rather be home in New Hampshire, but lots of us appreciate the personal sacrifice you and Nancy have made to serve this Administration. Woody called your office with a request and spoke to Jackie Kennedy, who was very helpful. He thought it might be useful if I wrote this letter to explain what we are doing in Honduras and else-where in Latin America, and what we plan for the future. I have enclosed a copy of our Program of Service which outlines in full the philosophy and work of Friends of the Americas. We know that President Bush recognizes the vital role played by American PVO's in tackling the large social and economic problems of Third World Countries. This is why I am sure President Bush will want to encourage the work of Friends of the Americas. In less than four months, we will enter the decade of the 1990's. Friends of the Americas is now five years old, and the support of thousands of Ameri- cans has made it possible to accomplish many things over these past five years. But the world is changing, and Friends must change too. So Woody and I have been doing some serious thinking about where Friends of the Ameri- cas should go over the next 10 years. We have developed some clear-cut goals and a 10-year plan of action. Now we want to share our thoughts with you on a confidential basis. Latin America is in chaos right now. The people are threatened by widespread poverty, Communism, civil war, hunger, bureaucracy, militarism, drug dealers and many other problems. The United States is widely admired in Latin America among the people, and its cul- tural influence is great. But as a force for reform, economic development, and democrati- zation, the U.S. does not play as significant a role as we should. The truth is that the U.S. has much to offer Latin America. The values that we hold dear -- belief in human dignity, free enterprise, private property, democracy, and upward social mobility -- could be the model for solving the crisis facing Latin America. The problem is, "No one cares how much we know until they know how much we care!" Unless we in the U.S. show the peoples of Latin America how much we care, they will not be ready to listen to our ideas -- or follow our example. So long as the private sector remains distant and uninvolved, the U.S. will be large- ly left out in the fight for Latin America. The result of our apathy will be -- at best -- a desperately poor Latin America which sends us illegal immigrants and drugs, or -- at worse -- a Latin America which is militant- ly Communist and a threat to our survival as a free people. At this moment, the time is right for Friends of the Americas to come of age and launch a massive, people-to-people movement, which can extend the hand of friendship to the peoples of Latin America. Along with humanitarian aid, Friend must promote the ideals of human liberty, demo- cracy and free enterprise, which can liberate people from poverty and oppression. During the 1990's, Friends of the Americas will clearly establish itself as the pre- miere U. S. organization working in Latin America. In order to do this, we recommend Friends emphasize the following major projects in the next 10 years: 1) Christmas Box Project. We must continue the Christmas Box Project, which has so far delivered 300,000 Christmas gift boxes to homeless children. But we must understand that the Christmas Box Project is something MORE than it appears. The Christmas Box Pro- ject is a key, and this key opens the door which can allow us to enter and work in a new country. Time after time, in country after country, the Christmas Box Project has opened the door for Friends and given us acceptance. Through this project, we meet the U.S. ambassador and the First Lady of the country (the President's wife). They invariably invite Friends to work in the country on a permanent basis with medical clinics and other projects. So we must continue the Christmas Box Project and allow it to continue to open the doors of Latin America to the work of Friends. 2) Mobile Health Clinics In The Capitals Of Latin America. Once the door to a country is open, Friends must walk through that door and make the most of this opportunity for service. The way to do that is to launch the most efficient, low-cost, high-profile proj- ect which can make a major impact on a country -- a Mobile Health Clinic in the capital city of the country, similar to Friends Mobile Clinic in Guatemala City. The capital cities of Latin America are almost invariably racked by poverty and hardship. But the capital is also the political and communications heart of the country. A Mobile Clinic in the capital city can reach more sick people and have greater public relations value for the United States than anywhere else in the country. Not only will great humanitarian service be rendered, but the newspapers and TV stations of the country will recognize that service and let the people know that Americans are there working to make a difference. Initial target cities should be the capitals of El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Ecuador. By the end of the decade, this project should be in operation in every country of Latin America. 3) Disaster Assistance. Friends must be prepared to provide disaster assistance immediately wherever it is needed in Latin America. Natural disasters are often the turn- ing point in the life of an individual or the life of a nation. If a person has lost every- thing in a disaster, he will remember the people who came to his rescue. A natural dis- aster is a terrible tragedy but it is also an opportunity to demonstrate love and concern when it is needed the most and to make lifelong friends in the process. A government which mishandles a natural disaster has a very short life-expectancy. In fact, Somoza's mis- handling of earthquake relief in Nicaragua was the major political factor which led to the rise of the Sandinistas. After a disaster, Friends should "be there" not only providing direct assistance to needy people but also making certain that disaster assistance is handled in a completely honest, efficient manner. The only way to insure that is to be deeply involved in the government's disaster assistance program. Friends was involved after the earthquake and hurricane in Mexico, the earthquake in El Salvador, and the volca- no in Colombia, and we must continue to be on the scene after each major disaster. 4) Flexible, Short-Term Projects Where Critically Needed. Friends must be flexible and be prepared to provide short-term assistance wherever it is critically needed. For example, in Honduras, Friends has been deeply involved in refugee relief. Why? Because Honduras could not provide a refuge to the victims of communism in Nicaragua unless Friends of the America helped with food, clothing, medical care and education for the refugees. If Honduras had not accepted the refugees, they would have been forced to flee to the United States. That would have guaranteed a Communist stranglehold on Nicaragua and aggravated the problem of refugees pouring into the United States. But partly because of Friends efforts, there is still hope for the future of Nicaragua so for the flood of refugees to the U.S. has been only a fraction of its potential. Friends must be prepared to launch major, short-term projects whenever and wherever in Latin America vital U.S. interests are at stake. 5) Good-Will Ambassadors For the United States. At every opportunity, Friends of the Americas must serve as good-will ambassadors for the United States, carrying the flag of our country and the love of the American people to every corner of Latin America. We must go to the most remote, dangerous areas of this hemisphere, ministering to the sick and homeless on a person-to-person basis. But we must also use the means of mass communica- tions -- radio, television and newspapers -- to help people understand more about the principles of freedom and democracy. (I cannot elaborate on this point at this time, but our communications plan will have an unprecedented impact on Latin America.) If we can implement these five projects over the next 10 years, Friends will have indeed accomplished a lot! John, the reason I wanted to share these plans with you is because it has been appar- ent the importance the Bush Administration puts on Latin America, its future and how that future impacts American interests in our own hemisphere. As you know, Friends is a non-profit, non partisan, and non-sectarian organization. It receives no financial support from government. Operating and program costs are under- written through tax-deductible contributions from interested individuals, organizations, companies and foundations. This policy, we believe, helps us have greater flexibility to respond to needs quickly without dealing in alot of red tape. In addition, it demonstrates our faith in private sector initiative, which has been very much promoted by both President Bush and President Reagan. We want to be helpful to our own government in areas consistent with the goals of Friends. There have been a number of occasions already during the Bush Administration when we have been able to respond to urgent human needs when our government wanted to, but due to financial constraints, simply could not. John, just keep this in mind and count on us as a friend. Let us know if there are ways in which you feel we could be of more service and help promote good relations between ourselves and our neighbors in Latin America. We want nothing from government. We want to be of service to our government, not a beneficiary. You could help Friends and its efforts if President Bush would sign a "keep up the good work" letter. Álso, I plan to be in Washington at a White House briefing Friday morning September 29 at 8:30 and understand President Bush may drop in on our group for a few minutes. The group I am on the board of is Women of Our Hemisphere chaired by Ambassador Holly Coors. A photo opportunity would be appreciated, if possible. Just let me know. Best wishes to you in the responsibilities you have undertaken. God Bless you and your family. Dane Diane A. Jenkins Sincerely, Executive Director P.S. John, your 'v .

IRVINE Chairman September 6, 1989 Mr. John Sununu The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear John: Congratulations on your great susccesses in the White House. Its exciting to see our New Hampshire leader make a mark in National politics. In addition to my business and political concerns, I have always made time for the arts and have served on several boards, local and national. In the late 60's, I met John Ludwig, an arts administrator, then general manager of Minnesota Opera. John moved on from Minnesota to Wolf Trap and the San Francisco Opera. We kept in touch, and in 1977 I asked him to head up the National Institute for Music Theater, of which I was president. Over the past dozen years, I've seen John handle his responsibilities to the Institute with an admirable combination of management technique, artistic sensitivity, and common sense. Though basically conservative in his own tastes, he believes strongly in supporting the young artists of today. I won't burden you with addition detail (which appears in several Who's Who publications) but I can confidently say he's one of the outstanding people in his field. The Institute's Board has concluded that it must move its main office to New York, and John, who has a strong preference to remain in the D.C. area, has declined our invitation to relocate with us. I know he has applied for positions at the Arts Endowment and the Library of Congress. I know the people in those institutions will be selecting their personnel carefully and well, and if I knew them I would certainly write warmly in support of John's applications. Since I don't know them, I'm taking the liberty of writing you in the hope that you will pass on my high opinion of John Ludwig in whatever way may be appropriate.

She is an outstanding individual who has led an active civic and professional life and whose knowledge of government, business, national and international affairs is truly encyclopedic. My awareness of the attributes and accomplishments of Ms. Bronson came about through our mutual service as members of the leadership hierarchy of the American Legislative Exchange Council over many years. I am a past National Chairman of A.L.E.C. and Ms. Bronson has served as Director and Secretary and presently is the National Treasurer. She is well regarded by all and no doubt will succeed to the position of National Chairman in a few years were she to remain in the Vermont Legislature. However, since her objective is to achieve the position for which she has been recommended I would like to express my view that she is a fine candidate and her appointment certainly has my unqualified endorsement. Thank you in advance for taking my comments into consideration as you review Ms. Bronson's resume. With best personal regards, I remain Very truly yours Owen H. Johnson Member of the Senate OHJ/dw
