I look forward to working closely with you and the Advisory Council members to continue the successes of the program during the first term. Fred Ryan, the Director of Presidential Appointments and Scheduling, will be assuming responsibility for the office of Private Sector Initiatives. He has been a strong supporter of the P.S.I. program and is eager to work with you in directing the program into the new Administration. You will be hearing directly from Fred soon, but I wanted to inform you personally of this change. Best wishes. Sincerely, mike MICHAEL K.

It was gratifying to me, however, that the President was reported to mention his high appreciation of you and his ardent wish to continue close ulationship with you at the press conference. According to the uport, you will take a public relations job. If it is so, I wonder if I can be of service to you in Japan, as I have had many close relations with the people Concerned with the public viations in Japan. I would appreciate very much if you inform me how I can communicate with you after your resignation. May I take this opportunity to express my hearty thanks to your kind consideration extended to me during your present post and to express my sincere hope for the continuation of our close relations in future.

And, as the election returns showed, that warm feeling is reciprocated. In regard to visiting New Hampshire this spring, I regret that the schedule for his trip to Canada is such that we will not be able to stop by your state. He will be visiting Canada for only overnight and will be returning immediately to Washington for a State Visit from the President of Argentina. The spring will also certainly be an important time for the President as he continues his work on the programs he will highlight in his State of the Union Address next week. As you know, there is always SO much to do. I'm sorry I couldn't be more positive but the schedule isn't flexible at this time to do otherwise. Sincerely, enough mike MICHAEL K.

The President gets along famously with Canada's new Prime Minister, fellow conservative Brian Mulroney, and no issues be- tween the two nations are believed serious enough to cause a major flare- up that would mar the visit. As you look at the map, you will notice that New Hampshire is situated between Quebec and Washington, D.C. Therefore, a stop in this fine State should not create too much of a problem. As you can see, I am a person who does not give up easily, SO that you will be hearing from me fairly regularly on the subject of coming to New Hampshire.

National Advocates January 8, 1985 Mr. Michael K. Deaver Assistant to the President THE WHITE HOUSE Washington, D.C. 20500 Personal And Confidential 5/3/1603 Dear Mike: Because of your continuing friendship over the past four years, I have been able to build a low-key, highly rewarding indepen- dent consulting practice in Washington, D.C. and Sacramento. It all began, of course, with your recommendation to Loyd Hackler that the American Retail Federation employ me for White House relations. Hackler, in addition to steering me into several successful business investments, introduced me to his former partner, Bob Strauss, and others from across the aisle. Those contacts and others led to requests for personal services and, soon, Loyd and I agreed that it was in our mutual interest for me to work under a consulting arrange- ment with A.R.F., freeing me to represent other clients as well on a bipartisan basis. Meanwhile, several additional government affairs opportunities opened in Sacramento, largely through referrals of State Senator Dan Boatwright and his staff director, Barry Brokaw. Thus, I moved my family back to Sacramento and took an apartment in Washington, shuttling between the two cities. Today, thanks to a discreet bipartisan network and a successful track record on behalf of my clients, I am forced -- happily enough -- to lay off special projects into the hands of several associates, Democrats and Republicans. At the risk of boring you to death, I come finally to my point: If there is a local market for my services, there is a global market for yours. During the past two months, in fact, hardly a day has gone by when someone hasn't asked me the question: "Is Mike Deaver going to get back into consulting?" I write, Mike, to ask you to consider another among what I know is a host of career options as you prepare to depart the White House. Stating the obvious, the option is, of course, private consulting. 925 L Street, Suite 1490, Sacramento, California 95814 Mr. Michael K. Deaver January 8, 1985 Page Two Specifically, I would like your permission to establish for you during the next two months --- quietly and discreetly - a hard list of potential clients which would enable you, should you choose, to hit the ground running as an independent consultant. My first interest is, of course, to work with you in one capacity or another. That aside, I would be personally honored to do for you anything I can during your hiatus between public and private life. I would like to meet with you personally at your earliest convenience to discuss this subject in detail. Sincerely, day GARY R.

He hopes that these answers will be helpful to you in fulfilling the requirements of your assignment and in the years ahead in your chosen field. With best wishes, Sincerely, Gail W. Ledwig Staff Assistant to Michael K. Deaver Mr. William P. McKeever Box 1658 St. Bonaventure, NY 14778 3. Q. Likes/dislikes of present job? A. I've had a unique opportunity to serve Ronald and Nancy Reagan and to influence history. There is no place in the world like the White House. It's a place of tremendous highs and lows -- one day you may be welcoming home the hostages from Iran, on another you may be making arrangements for the President to attend a memorial service for Marines killed in Lebanon. One drawback is that there's no time to smell the roses. You can't really appreciate the experience until you get out. 3b. Q. Could you please comment on why leaving present job? A. The demands of my job are 24 hours a day. The sacrifices in terms of family time are tremendous. It's not a pace that can be sustained for eight years. 4. Q. General feelings toward effectiveness of PR in the Administration? A. Our greatest asset in communicating to the public has been the President himself -- his personality and his record. Ronald Reagan's warmth, self-confidence, courage and optimism are all qualities Americans positively relate to and recognize in him. He has a special ability to understand and articulate the concerns of average Americans. Our challenge has been to help present Ronald Reagan the man and his vision of the future to the public as openly and directly as possible. Based on the President's record of achievement in the first term and his overwhelming reelection victory, I'd say we've had some measure of success. 5. Q. Future direction or thrust (re: public image) in the Administration? A. Communications in the second term will continue in the same direction. Ronald Reagan and his policies remain the same. The President wants to accomplish in his second term what he couldn't in the first. And based on his achievements in his second term as governor, he'll succeed. 6. Q. Any ethical issues or dilemmas faced which you'd care to discuss? A. One of the big pluses in working for Ronald Reagan is that you don't have ethical dilemmas. There is no more decent, honest, kind, truly Christian man than he. 7. Q. What made you decide to enter this field? A. I've always enjoyed the problem-solving challenges associated with public relations -- the analysis of an issue and the development and implementation of a strategy. 8. Q. Total honesty and open communication seem to be a rallying cry for today's PR professional. Any feelings on this? A. Honesty and open communications have been the principles we've followed at the White House. They're essential for any credible public relations professional. 9. Q. HOW do you measure your effectiveness or success? A. My job is to help Ronald Reagan achieve his goals as President. I'm only successful if he is. 10. Q. It has been said that you "polish" the President. How important do you feel this service is for Mr. Reagan? A. I help the President govern smoothly by providing the back-up to the ship-of-state. Every President needs someone behind the scenes, tracking down details, putting the pieces together, making sure that everything runs smoothly. 10b. Q. Do you see this as a service to the country itself, as well? A. Yes, in serving the President and helping him achieve his objectives, I try to serve the nation. 11. Q. The President won the election by a landslide for many reasons. Do you see your work as having any influence on the election at all? A. Ronald Reagan won reelection because of the kind of man he is, his accomplishments in making the future a brighter one for all Americans and his vision of America. Our job in the campaign was to help him most effectively articulate and present his message. 12. Q. In a nutshell, what do you do anyway -- what is your job? (see #10) 13. Q. How many hours per week do you put in? A. As I said earlier, this job is 24 hours a day. My hours at the office typically run 12 hours a day, 6 1/2 days a week. 14. Q. How large a staff do you handle? A. Counting all the various functions for which I'm responsible at the White House, some 75 people work under me. 15. Q. Greatest achievement? A. The most memorable occasion in my four and a half years at the White House was the time the President and Mrs. Reagan and I had lunch with Mother Teresa. She was so inspiring and such a gentle person. 16. Q. Any embarrassment which now seems somewhat amusing? ? 17. Q. HOW does one get a PR job in government? A. One can enter government PR jobs by two different routes. One, the career route, is to seek a civil service job in the public affairs office at any one of the departments or agencies. The second, the political path, is the one I took. By working for a party or candidate, you can hope to earn a political (non civil-service) job with your candidate once he/she is elected. Before I went to Sacramento to help Governor Reagan in his transition, I had been working with the local Republican Party in Santa Barbara. 18. Q. Aside from salary differentials, which is more satisfying to work in, public or private practice? A. Public and private practice each have their own satisfactions. While in the private sector you can never get the tremendous national exposure for your work day after day that you do in the White House, that's not to say that the satisfaction in the private sector for a job well done or a difficult challenge met and overcome isn't just as great as in government. 19. Q. Any recommendations as to how a student can best prepare for entry level position in Public Relations? A. Courses in journalism would especially prepare a student interested in a public relations career. I've found that good writers are rare and always in demand. 20. Q. Does the White House hire interns? (not my question -- I'm looking for a real job!) A. Yes, each White House office has a limited number of intern positions allocated to it. Someone interested in a White House internship should apply directly to the office in which they want to work. QUESTIONAIRE 1. Name, address and phone number of interviewee 2.

The Commandant has advised me that he has been thoroughly briefed on the proposal to honor Mr. Hope and further, that he supports Brigadier General Bloomer's plan to appoint Mr. Hope an honorary general in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Deaver\nAssistant to the President\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWashington, D.C. 20500\nPersonal And Confidential\n5/3/1603\nDear Mike:\nBecause of your continuing friendship over the past four\nyears, I have been able to build a low-key, highly rewarding indepen-\ndent consulting practice in Washington, D.C. and Sacramento.\nIt all began, of course, with your recommendation to Loyd\nHackler that the American Retail Federation employ me for White House\nrelations. Hackler, in addition to steering me into several successful\nbusiness investments, introduced me to his former partner, Bob Strauss,\nand others from across the aisle. Those contacts and others led to\nrequests for personal services and, soon, Loyd and I agreed that it\nwas in our mutual interest for me to work under a consulting arrange-\nment with A.R.F., freeing me to represent other clients as well on\na bipartisan basis.\nMeanwhile, several additional government affairs opportunities\nopened in Sacramento, largely through referrals of State Senator\nDan Boatwright and his staff director, Barry Brokaw. Thus, I moved\nmy family back to Sacramento and took an apartment in Washington,\nshuttling between the two cities.\nToday, thanks to a discreet bipartisan network and a successful\ntrack record on behalf of my clients, I am forced -- happily enough --\nto lay off special projects into the hands of several associates,\nDemocrats and Republicans.\nAt the risk of boring you to death, I come finally to my\npoint: If there is a local market for my services, there is a global\nmarket for yours. During the past two months, in fact, hardly a day\nhas gone by when someone hasn't asked me the question: \"Is Mike Deaver\ngoing to get back into consulting?\"\nI write, Mike, to ask you to consider another among what I\nknow is a host of career options as you prepare to depart the White House.\nStating the obvious, the option is, of course, private consulting.\n925 L Street, Suite 1490, Sacramento, California 95814\nMr. Michael K. Deaver\nJanuary 8, 1985\nPage Two\nSpecifically, I would like your permission to establish for you\nduring the next two months --- quietly and discreetly - a hard list\nof potential clients which would enable you, should you choose, to\nhit the ground running as an independent consultant.\nMy first interest is, of course, to work with you in one\ncapacity or another. That aside, I would be personally honored to do\nfor you anything I can during your hiatus between public and private\nlife.\nI would like to meet with you personally at your earliest\nconvenience to discuss this subject in detail.\nSincerely,\nday\nGARY R. NEESE\nGRN/lap\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nFebruary 6, 1985\nDear Larry:\nIt was good hearing from you. Thanks\nfor thinking of me. I appreciate the\ninvitiation to be the spring speaker\nat your UPFC dinner. Unfortunately,\nI must regret as I expect that most of\nmy attention will be on my White House\nresponsibilities in the months ahead.\nAgain, thanks for writing and your many\nkindnesses to Carolyn and me.\nSincerely,\nruhs\nMICHAEL K.

Ledwig\nStaff Assistant to\nMichael K. Deaver\nMr. William P. McKeever\nBox 1658\nSt. Bonaventure, NY 14778\n3.\nQ.\nLikes/dislikes of present job?\nA.\nI've had a unique opportunity to serve Ronald and Nancy\nReagan and to influence history. There is no place\nin the world like the White House. It's a place of\ntremendous highs and lows -- one day you may be welcoming\nhome the hostages from Iran, on another you may be making\narrangements for the President to attend a memorial\nservice for Marines killed in Lebanon.\nOne drawback is that there's no time to smell the\nroses. You can't really appreciate the experience\nuntil you get out.\n3b.\nQ.\nCould you please comment on why leaving present\njob?\nA.\nThe demands of my job are 24 hours a day. The\nsacrifices in terms of family time are tremendous.\nIt's not a pace that can be sustained for eight years.\n4.\nQ.\nGeneral feelings toward effectiveness of PR in the\nAdministration?\nA.\nOur greatest asset in communicating to the public has been\nthe President himself -- his personality and his record.\nRonald Reagan's warmth, self-confidence, courage and\noptimism are all qualities Americans positively relate to\nand recognize in him. He has a special ability to\nunderstand and articulate the concerns of average\nAmericans.\nOur challenge has been to help present Ronald Reagan the\nman and his vision of the future to the public as openly\nand directly as possible.\nBased on the President's record of achievement in the\nfirst term and his overwhelming reelection victory, I'd\nsay we've had some measure of success.\n5.\nQ. Future direction or thrust (re: public image) in the\nAdministration?\nA.\nCommunications in the second term will continue in the\nsame direction. Ronald Reagan and his policies remain\nthe same. The President wants to accomplish in his\nsecond term what he couldn't in the first. And based\non his achievements in his second term as governor,\nhe'll succeed.\n6. Q. Any ethical issues or dilemmas faced which you'd care\nto discuss?\nA. One of the big pluses in working for Ronald Reagan is\nthat you don't have ethical dilemmas. There is no more\ndecent, honest, kind, truly Christian man than he.\n7. Q. What made you decide to enter this field?\nA. I've always enjoyed the problem-solving challenges\nassociated with public relations -- the analysis of an\nissue and the development and implementation of a\nstrategy.\n8. Q. Total honesty and open communication seem to be a\nrallying cry for today's PR professional. Any feelings\non this?\nA. Honesty and open communications have been the\nprinciples we've followed at the White House. They're\nessential for any credible public relations\nprofessional.\n9. Q. HOW do you measure your effectiveness or success?\nA. My job is to help Ronald Reagan achieve his goals as\nPresident. I'm only successful if he is.\n10. Q.\nIt has been said that you \"polish\" the President. How\nimportant do you feel this service is for Mr. Reagan?\nA.\nI help the President govern smoothly by providing the\nback-up to the ship-of-state. Every President needs\nsomeone behind the scenes, tracking down details,\nputting the pieces together, making sure that\neverything runs smoothly.\n10b.\nQ. Do you see this as a service to the country\nitself, as well?\nA.\nYes, in serving the President and helping him\nachieve his objectives, I try to serve the nation.\n11. Q.\nThe President won the election by a landslide for many\nreasons. Do you see your work as having any influence on\nthe election at all?\nA.\nRonald Reagan won reelection because of the kind of man\nhe is, his accomplishments in making the future a\nbrighter one for all Americans and his vision of America.\nOur job in the campaign was to help him most effectively\narticulate and present his message.\n12. Q.\nIn a nutshell, what do you do anyway -- what is your job?\n(see #10)\n13. Q. How many hours per week do you put in?\nA.\nAs I said earlier, this job is 24 hours a day. My hours\nat the office typically run 12 hours a day, 6 1/2 days a\nweek.\n14.\nQ.\nHow large a staff do you handle?\nA.\nCounting all the various functions for which I'm\nresponsible at the White House, some 75 people work\nunder me.\n15. Q.\nGreatest achievement?\nA.\nThe most memorable occasion in my four and a half years\nat the White House was the time the President and Mrs.\nReagan and I had lunch with Mother Teresa. She was so\ninspiring and such a gentle person.\n16. Q. Any embarrassment which now seems somewhat amusing?\n?\n17. Q. HOW does one get a PR job in government?\nA. One can enter government PR jobs by two different\nroutes. One, the career route, is to seek a civil\nservice job in the public affairs office at any one of the\ndepartments or agencies. The second, the political path,\nis the one I took. By working for a party or candidate,\nyou can hope to earn a political (non civil-service) job\nwith your candidate once he/she is elected. Before I went\nto Sacramento to help Governor Reagan in his transition, I\nhad been working with the local Republican Party in Santa\nBarbara.\n18. Q. Aside from salary differentials, which is more satisfying\nto work in, public or private practice?\nA. Public and private practice each have their own\nsatisfactions. While in the private sector you can never\nget the tremendous national exposure for your work day\nafter day that you do in the White House, that's not to\nsay that the satisfaction in the private sector for a job\nwell done or a difficult challenge met and overcome isn't\njust as great as in government.\n19. Q. Any recommendations as to how a student can best\nprepare for entry level position in Public Relations?\nA. Courses in journalism would especially prepare a student\ninterested in a public relations career. I've found that\ngood writers are rare and always in demand.\n20. Q. Does the White House hire interns? (not my question --\nI'm looking for a real job!)\nA. Yes, each White House office has a limited number of\nintern positions allocated to it. Someone interested\nin a White House internship should apply directly to\nthe office in which they want to work.\nQUESTIONAIRE\n1. Name, address and phone number of interviewee\n2. Backround and training\n3. Likes/dislikes of present job\n3b. Could you please comment on why leaving present job\n4. General feelings toward effectiveness of PR in the Administration\n5. Future direction or thrust (re: public image) in the Administration\n6. Any ethical issues or dilemmas faced which you'd care to discuss?\n7. What made you decide to enter this field\n8. Total honesty and open communication seem to be a rallying cry\nfor today's PR professional. Any feelings on this?\n9. How do you measure your effectiveness or success\n10. It has been said that you \"polish\" the President. How important\ndo you feel this service is for Mr. Reagan?\n10b. Do you see this as a service to the country itself, as well?\n11. The President won the election by a landslide for many reasons. Do\nyou see your work as having any influence on the election at all?\n12. In a nutshell, what do you do anyway - what is your job?\n13. How many hours per week do you put in?\n14. How large a staff do you handle?\n15. Greatest achievement?\n16. Any embarrassment which now seems somewhat amusing?\n17. How does one get a PR job in government?\n18. Aside from salary differentials, which is more satisfying to\nwork in, public or private practice?\n19. Any recommendations as to how a student can best prepare for\nentry level position in Public Relations\n20. Does the White House hire interns? (not my question - I'm looking\nfor a real job!)\nSir; thank you for your time and understanding.
