GALLUP GREENLEAF STREET January 4, 1985 RYE, NEW YORK film 10580 Mr. Michael Deaver Assistant to the President The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Mike: Best of everything to you as you move from The White House back to "private life". From a selfish point of view I'm sorry that the possiblity of working for you is apparently no longer extant. I am wondering, however, how the position that we talked about a few months ago was filled or how your resignation will change the need to fulfill it at all. I know that you are a busy person these days and I don't really expect a response to these thoughts, but I could not resist taking the opportunity to both tell you of my continued tremendous interest in the position, if it is still open, and to extend my best wishes to you as you move on to other challenges. Sincerely, H. Gallup G.W George FYI - You responded to Denge 1/7/85 see attached. January 7, 1985 Dear George: I enjoyed the opportunity to talk with you about the Television Office. Though your resume and qualifications are indeed impressive, I wanted to let you know that we have selected someone for that position. We will keep your resume on file, and if something along these lines should become available, we will be in touch. Again, thank you for your time and interest. Sincerely, mike MICHAEL K. DEAVER Assistant to the President Deputy to the Chief of Staff Mr. George H. Gallup Greenleaf Street Rye, N.Y. 10580 WINDSOR PARK 150 S. Windsor A-141 Mesa, Arizona 85204 January 5, 1985 Mr. Michael Deaver The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Deaver: HAPPY NEW YEAR 1985 - and our greetings and best wishes at the same time go to you and your family back in Washington. My wife Joyce and I hope that our little message reaches you personally, and finds you well - its been our intentions to write to you for such a long time - the recent newspaper stories about your intentions to resign served to remind us. Oh no, you don't remember the Brownes, for my wife Joyce and I have never met you during our many visits over in California or during your travels with the President, but we're more than familiar with your longtime service to the Reagans in California and these past four years in Washington, and we therefore feel that we know you well. Joyce and I have enjoyed reading about you in various publications and without a doubt our enthusiasm is shared by millions of Americans from all walks of life. I am not in politics or government but have been a banker most of my adult life. In serving our fine President, you have served all Americans at the same time, and for that, we are grateful, Michael Deaver. Again - HAPPY NEW YEAR 1985 to the Deavers - we hope that it will be all you want it to be.

Tuttle Special Assistant to the President Room 45 - Old Executive Office Building 17th & Pennsylvania, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Bob: At our meeting yesterday, you asked me to outline the matter we discussed via a brief note to you. Every two years, a Review Conference is held pursuant to the Helsinki Final Act of 1975 whereby the signatory countries review progress made to advance human rights, free flow of information, freedom of movement of people and other similar matters delineated in the Act. The next review will be held late in 1986 in Vienna. In preparation for the Vienna meeting, a conference of experts on human rights from all the signatory countries will meet in Ottawa, Canada, in May of this year. This is a most important meeting, for it will set the agenda for the 1986 Review in Vienna as to human rights. My name has been proposed to the State Department to chair The United States delegation to Ottawa. I am advised I will be strongly supported by Senator Bob Dole and Congressman Dante Fascell, both of whom know me well, and by a wide range of other Senators and Congressmen, Republican and Democratic. Honorable Robert H. Tuttle January 11, 1984 Page Two This subject interests me deeply. As you know, I served for five years as U.S. Representative to the U.N. Commission on Human Rights, and I now chair the Advisory Group of the International Parliamentary Group for Human Rights in the Soviet Union (see attached material). I am prepared to take the time from my practice necessary to do the job with skill and devotion. With best wishes to you in your new post. Sincerely, Rita Reta E. Hauser REH/nrr Attachment CC: Hon.

Deaver Deputy Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Deaver: It is my understanding that John R. Silber, President of Boston University is being seriously considered to serve as Secretary for the Department of Education. I sincerely believe John is an outstanding American and extremely well qualified to be Secretary of the Department of Education. John and I served together on the President's Bipartisan Commission on Central America, which was chaired by Henry Kissinger. My candid opinion is that the counsel and specific recommendations he submitted made a stellar contribution to the Commission and to our final report to the President. With no reservations, I recommend John R. Silber be appointed to serve as Secretary of the Department of Education. Sincerely, Wilson S.

UNGER SUITE 207 BLAUSTEIN BUILDING PRESIDENT ONE NORTH CHARLES STREET BALTIMORE, MARYLAND 21201 301 539-0108 January 11, 1985 Mr. Michael K. Deaver Deputy chief of Staff and Assistant to the President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Deaver: I urge you to support the retention of a corporate tax system which contains specific incentives for investment in equipment. The strong economic recovery during the Reagan administration is certainly due in some part to a general increase in capital investment and productivity. ERTA provided ACRS and enriched tax credits as an incentive for new investment. These have the effect of covering the cost of capital and increasing corporate cash flows, both of which are necessary for U. S. businesses to earn a return on capital investment. ERTA was passed in 1981. It seems to have accomplished its purpose, why change it now? It should be noted that the lag in capital investment in the 1970's contributed to a productivity slowdown and a gradual economic deterioration. In addition it seems that higher rates of investment have had the effect of spreading technology to more and more economic activities. The reason the current tax system works so well to incent investment is that a company must invest in equipment to receive these tax benefits and lower its effective tax rate. Lower statutory rates, on the other hand, would apply to any company whether it invests in productive assets or not. I would once again urge careful consideration prior to supporting any measure that would negatively effect a system which has worked so well, so long. Sincerely, LamA. Larry D.

Deaver Deputy Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. Deaver: I am writing to ask you for your strong consideration in retaining a corporate tax system which contains specific incentives for investment in equipment. Our country has enjoyed good economic recovery over the past several years, directly because of a general increase in productivity and capital investment. In my view, ACRS and tax credits as an incentive for a new investment, have been shown to be one of the primary reasons for the economic recovery that we have enjoyed. Many studies I have read, indicate that if we adopt the various tax methods as proposed by Treasury, and other members of Congress, there is: a tremendous danger in increasing unemployment, creating a lag in capital investment, and other factors which will prove to be detrimental to the economy in the years ahead. While our tax system may not be perfect, it is working and providing the incentives for investment, and economic improvement. I would hate very badly to see Congress remove the incentive for investment. The underlying reasons for creating ACRS depreciation and expanded tax credits have not changed. It is my opinion these tax proposals will not simplify or reform anything. The only thing these changes may accomplish is continued uncertainty with our tax policy. I would appreciate very much your reply, letting me know how you feel about proposed tax legislation. Very truly yours, G. G.
