Dear President McDaniel:
My thanks and gratitude go out to you and the
20,000 members of the Ohio Fraternal Order of Police
for honoring me again with your endorsement of my
candidacy.
In the last four years, we have worked to make
this a safer society for all Americans. The great
efforts of you and your brothers and sisters in law
enforcement throughout the nation are vitally impor-
tant to preserving order and freedom.
There is much unfinished business, however. Just
this week, I have challenged the House of Representa-
tives to pass our Comprehensive Crime Control Act,
which will reform and strengthen the federal Criminal
Code to protect Americans from violent criminals.
Recent Supreme Court decisions on policy procedure
are a good start--but only a start--towards redressing
the legal imbalance that allows some criminals to go
unpunished.
Again, thank you for your support, and keep up
the good work!
Sincerely,
RONALD REAGAN

Dear President Reagan:
6/6
William Niskanen has provided both continuity and
useful insights through his balanced and effective handling
of his position on your Council of Economic Advisors. At
least that is the impression here and in other areas of the
hinterlands.
At this critical juncture, appointing Bill Niskanen
to the Chairmanship of the CEA would be both helpful and
appropriate.
Dr. Niskanen has earned wide respect for his
capability as an economist. I particularly recall his
presentation at the University of Michigan's Conference on
the Economic Outlook in 1982 (see enclosure). He distilled
complex issues to their understandable essence. He handled
the adversary portion of the audience more adeptly than any
speaker in a like circumstance during my many, many
attendances at that conference.
I believe that you will be doing yourself and all of
us a good turn by appointing Bill to the leadership of your
Council of Economic Advisors.
Sincerely,
Bradley L. Jarde Bradley Jacobs
BLJ:lt
Here is a summary of the background of
William A. Niskanen, Jr.: Native of California; was graduated from Harvard
plus Ph. from University of Chicago; with O.M.B. in the early 70s and
D.O.D. in early or middle 60s. He was with the Treasury Department and
Bureau of Mines middle 50s.
Outside of government he has been a Professor in The Graduate School
of Management at UCLA; Director of Economics at Ford Motor Company
1975-1880; Director of Economics Division and Director of Program Analysis
at Institute of Defense Analysis 1962-70; was an economist with the Rand
Corporation during the late 50s and early 60s. He has authored a book
entitled "Bureaucracy and Representative Government".
Bill projects as a knowledgeable, modest, sincere, honest, and very
capable person because he is that. He demonstrates both knowledge of the
"Big Picture" and the pieces of. which it is composed.
Projecting Bill Miskanen as Chairman of the Council of
Economic Advisors seems to me a "p]us" in both continuity and credibility
at this critical juncture. If. you. have any questions, please call me.

Dear Lyn:
Re your recent memo to John Herrington on behalf of Leslie
Ohland, I agree wholeheartedly with what you had to say.
The problem, Lyn, is that Leslie does not want to leave Santa
Monica. Unfortunately, there are no Schedule C positions in
Southern California, and she is not interested in San Francisco
where all of the regional offices are located.
I have spoken to Leslie on several occasions, in fact, as late as
today, and she understands the situation. She did tell me that
after the campaign she will look for something in the private
sector and anything we can do to help will be appreciated. We
plan to get together at the Convention and explore possibilities.
Look forward to seeing you in Dallas, if not sooner.
Warm regards,
Sincerely,

Leslie Ohland is a long-time Reaganite. She worked as a volunteer
at CFTR and later as a paid employee of Deaver and Hannaford,
working on Reagan's schedule, etc. before he ran for President
in 1979-80. She worked in the campaign and later on for about
a year in the correspondence section of the White House. Then
she went back to California.
As you can see from the letter, she needs a job. She has one
coming. Can you please help? Mike Deaver also wants to help
her.

Dear Lyn,
Thanks for your nice letter, as you probably know
by now, I have been appointed an alternate delegate
to the convention and I'm certain that you must have
had a hand in it, and I'm grateful.
You mentioned the possibility of a position with the
campaign after the convention. Yes, I can wait until
September and I would like very much to be a part of
the re-election of President Reagan.
As you may remember, I worked with the volunteers
(on phone banks and correspondence) .I have calls
daily as to "when are we going to get started?"
So they're all ready and raring to go.
After the election I have to find something on a
permanent basis. Lyn, you mentioned the possibility
of a Schedule C position here in the L.A. area.
Frankly, it sounds like something I might be in-
terested in. Could you please advise me on how to
proceed? I really do not know where to begin.
I an looking forward to seeing you at the convention.
Again, many thanks for your help.

This is with reference to your kind invitation to him to be the

Texas.
Your invitation has been carried forwarded and considered care-

schedule, however, and added demands which are anticipated
because of pending official matters, it now is certain the

With his regret that he must have me send you this reply, the
President has asked that I convey to you his gratitude for your

Dear Mary Jane,
The Military Order of the World Wars, through channels, last January 7 asked
President Reagan if he would accept its annual Distinguished Service Award, to
be presented at the banquet of our National Convention in Dallas, on August 4,
1984. No reply has yet been received. President Reagan is familiar with the
Military Order, being a perpetual member of the La Jolla-San Diego California.
Chapter.
While it would be most gratifying for him to accept the award in person, we
realize that with the Republican Convention also in Dallas in August, it may
not be feasible for the president to visit that city twice in one month, but
if he is unable to attend, it would be appropriate for a member of his cabinet
to accept the award in his behalf, and to be the speaker at our banquet.
For obvious reasons, we are anxious to know if President Reagan will accept
our highest award. Can you help us to expedite his answer?
Barbara and I feel very grateful for the time, effort, and sacrifices you and
Charles are making for our country. We desperately need people

missioned officers of all military services. It renders no
material service to the individual and is motivated solely and
entirely to the national interests of the United States. The
Order is looked upon as the prominent alumni of the armed forces,
a spokesman for national security, and a defender of our constitu-
tional liberties.
The membership of the Order is comprised of about 20,000
United States citizens, many of whom are leaders in the business
and civic communities throughout the country. There are 150
Chapters located in the centers of population.
The annual National Conventions are designed to review and
appraise our efforts to improve the working relationship and
understanding between government, civic and industry leaders.
The 1984 Convention will emphasize foreign policy and our
national security, improvement in patriotic education, the incul-
cation of a better understanding of the free enterprise system in
the young, and a more active role in fostering individual freedom
accompanied by discipline and responsibility.
Additional details will be provided as required if you are
able to accept our award.

Dear Motley:
Hon. John R. Block
Edmund T. Cranch
Two months ago I sent you a letter asking for some

confirmation or refutation of certain allegations made
Hon. Michael K. Deaver
Hon. Elizabeth H. Dole
by the Left with respect to the elections in E1
Hon. Raymond Donovan
Salvador. To date I have had no reply.

Thomas W. Evans
I am under the impression - possibly erroneous - that
Hon. Margaret M. Heckler
John Cardinal Krol
the President put you down there to defend and advance
A. C. Lyles
his policies in Latin America. In that dense fog that
Gen. William Lyon
covers the area where your office is located, most of
Frederic V. Malek
it generated by the inhabitants, you may not notice
John McClaughry
that this country is absolutely crawling with red hot
Joyce Miller

left wingers who are blasting our President's policies
Hon. William G. Milliken
in Latin America. There are regrettably damned few
Robert T. Monagan, Jr.

battle in his cause. In my case, I have been doing
Donald E. Nordlund
battle in his cause since 1965, two years of it in his
Hon. Thomas Pauken
Hon. Samuel R. Pierce, Jr.
1980 campaign and White House.
John V. Roach
Donald Sammis
Thus when I ask you for some information with which I
R. William Taylor
can rebut the President's critics, I expect some
Alexander Trowbridge
attention. Two months go by, and I get nothing. Is it
Thomas Vail
C. William Verity, Jr.
possible that those career wimps who you inherited
Dr. Sheldon Weinig
down there casually tossed my letter in the round
Robert Woodson
file? Quite possibly; your department is still
infested with people who think that paying Jose
Napoleon Duarte to confiscate E1 Salvador's banks and
plantations at gun point is some kind of a step toward
social justice and political stability.
I enclose another copy of my letter, and will be
looking for a prompt response. To encourage you, I am
sending a copy of both letters to the White House,
leaving you to figure out who will see them over
there.
Do respond promptly. I know you don't want to go back
to selling used cars for a living.
Yours truly,

I would very much appreciate your comment on
these observations at an early date. If these
allegations are substantially in error, as I
believe them to be, I will set the record
straight in every paper in Vermont.

United States Department of State
Assistant Secretary of State
for Inter-American Affairs
Washington, D.C. 20520
Dear Mr. McClaughry:
Upon my return yesterday from a trip overseas I received
the copy of your May 14th letter and your July 18th letter.
The answer to the May 14th letter is being prepared in some
detail. My initial impression is that we can provide much
grist for your mill.
Now to your July 18th letter.
The less than perfect mail system in the Department of
State could lead to the impression that someone "roundfiled"
your letter. I myself have had personal mail delayed or lost,
so I attribute the non-receipt of your letter to pure ineffi-
ciency and not a conscious act on the part of any person.
I found your characterization of Foreign Service Officers
as "career wimps" inaccurate and unfortunate. I have found the
vast majority of FSO's to be intelligent and disciplined enough
to follow orders. The impression to the contrary is unfor-
tunate.
I might remind you that "career wimps" in large numbers
lost their lives in the bombing of our Embassy in Beirut; that,
in fact, proportionately more Foreign Service Officers have
lost their lives through bombings, assassinations and other
terrorist attacks since WWII than members of the Armed Forces
lost in action. A "career wimp" that works for me went ashore
with the first wave in the Grenada operation and was decorated
for valor.

-2-
I find the last two paragraphs of your letter especially
distasteful. You may feel free to send your letter (and this
answer) to whomever you desire; in fact, I'm sending it to the
White House person listed on the letterhead. One piece of free
advice: Most of us political appointees react negatively to
such implied threats ---- in fact, letters containing such
remarks are usually destined for the roundfile. I found it
exceptionally unfortunate that such crude threats should appear
under a letterhead associated with our President.
In Summary: As to your first letter, we'll get you
something you can use. As to your second letter, if you want
to be Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs,
you only have to do two things:
Get nominated by the President.
Get confirmed by the Senate
Sincerely yours

Dear Lynn:
Although the situation has not changed since
I wrote to you on July 19, I did want you to
know that Mike Deaver has shared with me your
letter to him regarding the possibility of
arranging a signing ceremony for the Illinois
and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor
Act in Illinois.
We're still looking into this possibility
and will be back in touch as soon as a
determination is made.
With best wishes,
