MEMORANDUM FOR THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF
FROM:
PHILIP W. BUCHEN
P.W.B.
SUBJECT:
Presidential Memberships and
Endorsements
The President continually receives offers of honorary
memberships or requests to endorse various causes. With
few exceptions, such solicitations are routinely denied.
Since many of these solicitations are made through the
White House staff, and not directly to the President, you
should be aware of the procedures for handling memberships
and endorsements involving the President.
No membership or endorsement is to be declined or accepted
other than by or through Mr. Roland L. Elliott, Director
of Correspondence. Any staff member who receives a solici-
tation for a membership or endorsement on behalf of the
President should refer it promptly to Mr. Elliott's office
for review. Do not refer such matters to the Office of the
Counsel. In the event of any questions, Mr. Elliott will
consult with the Counsel to the President prior to declining
or accepting the membership or endorsement.
Your cooperation in complying with the procedures described
above is appreciated.
