FORD June 26, 1981 Dear Jim, I have been asked by Mayor Vincent A. Cianci, Jr. of Providence to write a note in support of his desire for consideration as a U. S. ambassador. As you know, Buddy has always been a most loyal supporter of me, and most assuredly of the Repub- lican Party. He is a diligent, hard-working public servant; as much favorable consideration as his application receives would be of course well placed. I believe both he and his wife have a fine set of qualifications to represent our country very favorably abroad. I'd be happy to comment further if there is any is requirement to do SO. Warmest best wishes. Sincerely, Nevald R. Ford Mr. James A. Baker Chief of Staff The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT POLICE LOS DEPARTMENT DARYL F. GATES P.O.

CLEAVES/AMBASSADORSHIP TO THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA It gives me great pleasure to endorse Mr. Cleaves as a candidate for the position of Ambassador to the Republic of South Africa. Bob has been a distinguished member of the Los Angeles Police Department Reserve Corps for several years. He graduated from the Police Academy at the top of his class and has demonstrated exemplary dedication, integrity, and professionalism in all his assignments. Mr. Cleaves has made a commitment to law enforcement, donating a considerable amount of time and energy to this department. He continually works for more than the required number of shifts mandated for reserve officers and has volunteered and worked many high-risk undercover assignments. Mr. Cleaves' distinguished service was recognized in 1978 when he was honored as the Los Angeles Police Department Reserve Officer of the Year. Mr. Cleaves' commitment to civic service is not limited to law enforcement. He voluntarily enlisted in the United States Air Force and served honorably during the Korean Conflict as a pilot in Korea. Bob Cleaves is a unique dedicated individual who has a present desire to be of further service to his country as Ambassador to the Republic of South Africa. He has an acute knowledge of the economic, political, military, and social affairs of that Republic as well as its neighboring states. South Africa is vital to our defense Mrs. Wendy Borcherdt June 24, 1981 Page 2 and presents sensitive problems which must be dealt with tactfully.. I have every confidence in Mr. Cleaves' ability to fulfill this role. Bob Cleaves has always been a strong supporter of President Reagan. He raised funds for his campaign and appeared on several radio and television shows in support of his candidacy. Sincerely, DARYL F.

Ambassador to Switzerland - - Has Faith Whittlesley been approved by Secretary Haig? (Go of wittlesley) MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON DATE: 11 May 1981 TO: E. Pendleton James Ambassadorial Selection Committee FROM: Wendy Borcherdt N.B. SUBJECT: Ambassadorial Posts - Filled Attached is a list of the people and countries of the individuals selected for ambassadorial posts as of May 6, 1981. I urge that this list not be circulated widely for some of the people have not yet even been contacted by the President. However, I thought that you might want to have a current list of those countries which have been filled and those people who are going to serve in them. We have nominated 46 ambassadors so far, 24 are career and 22 are non- career - almost a 50% ratio. Since the traditional ratio has been between 25% to 30% non-career people, I feel that we are accomplishing the President's wishes that as many competent non-career people serve as possible. THE SECRETARY OF STATE WASHINGTON May 7, 1981 MEMORANDUM TO: The President FROM: Alexander M. Haig, Jr. SUBJECT: Key Remaining Ambassadorial Appointments I strongly urge that in your selection of the remaining ambassadors you agree to the following appointments in Europe Bonn: Arthur Burns - Burns has indicated a willingness to serve in Bonn and would be a strong advocate of both of your policies and of the American system and way of life. NATO: W. Tapley Bennett - Bennett is currently serving at NATO and I personally know him to be an especially effectif Foreign Service professional who will assure that our reshapi of European defense priorities will be effectively presented. In the months ahead we will need the strongest possible team to reach our objectives vis-a-vis the Europeans and Burn and Bennett are the ideal candidates to fill these positions. These appointments have been discussed with Cap Weinberger and he agrees with the recommendations. I would also strongly urge that you agree to the followi appointments: OECD: Abraham Katz. Katz is one of the most able economic officers in the Department and served with distincti as DCM at OECD for 5 years. HE would become Chief of Mission and Andrew Falkiewicz, the Vice President's choice, would be offered the Deputy Chief of Mission position. David Bushong, Senator Kassebaum's candidate, who is also supported by Senator Laxalt, would become Chairman of the AID related Development Assistance Committee. This arrangement has Clark and Deaver support. The Hague: William J. Dyess. Dyess, a career Soviet Specialist with high public affairs skills is well-equipped to take on the problems we now face in the Netherlands, which are rooted in growing reluctance of the Dutch public to face up to the Soviet challenge. Dyess knows what to do, and I know of no one else who would be as effective. I know him to have first-rate political and policy sense. He was converted to Republicanism as a student in Alabama and has never left the fold, even while serving ably your predecessors over two decades. He has had a good meeting with Lynn Nofziger who may wish to comment on him. Bolivia: Edwin Corr. Corr is currently Ambassador to Peru. He is an unusually talented officer with a diverse functional background, although basically a Latin Americanist, having served in Mexico, Colombia, and as political counselor and Deputy Chief of Mission in Ecuador. He also served as Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of Narcotic Affairs. His profound knowledege of narcotics issues and programs makes him an ideal candidate for Bolivia. He speaks fluent Spanish.
