Dear Mr. Chairman:
This letter is a follow-up to the President's letter to Senator Baker and Speaker O'Neill of March 29, indicating his concern that House and Senate conferees considering legislation to amend the Export Administration Act (EAA) , achieve a balance between national security and exporting interests.
In recent weeks, the conferees have sought to negotiate a compromise which, among other matters, delineates the roles of the Departments of Commerce, Defense and Treasury in the implementation of the EAA. The specific issue of DOD licensing review and export control enforcement was considered personally by the President, as recently as March 1984, at which time he issued an interagency directive. The President administratively defined responsibilities and authorities while indicating his opposition to the inclusion of any statutory change in authorities in the pending EAA legislation. In reaching deci~ions on these issues, the President indicated that he views with great concern efforts to curtail Presidential authority and discretion in the management and administration of export controls.
Another concern in the proposed compromise is the provisions on national security import controls. Under this proposal, the U.S could control imports of goods from violators of COCOM regulations if a majority of COCOM concurred. This provision could serve to undercut the consensual nature of COCOM, as well as raise troubling extraterritorial problems. The President continues to oppose authority for import controls against violators of COCOM regulations.
- 2 -
The President stands by these decisions. We respectfully request that the Congress give due consideration to the Administration's views on this matter.
The Honorable Don Bonker Chairman
Sincerely,
James A. Baker, III Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President

FOR MR. JAMES A. BAKER
Dear Jim:
Thank you for the statement. As you asked me last Friday
to advise you of any changes I felt necessary, I made bold to
do so. Specifically, I request consideration of the following
modifications in the section headed "Policy Objectives."
Number one, amend the beginning of the last sentence of
the fourth paragraph to read as follows (added language
underscored) :
"The U.S. will also call for concrete assurances
that the UNFBA is not engaged in, or does not
provide funding for, abortion or coercive family
planning programs ... "
Number two, amend the fifth paragraph to read as follows
(new language underscored) :
"In addition, when efforts to lower population
growth are deemed advisable, U.S. policy considers
it imperative that such efforts respect the religious
beliefs and culture of each society, and the right
of couples to determine the size of their own
families. Accordingly, the U.S. will not provide
family planning funds to any nation which engages in
coercion to achieve population growth objectives."
2
If these changes are acceptable and assuming an appropri
ate delegation and staffing, I will be pleased to head the '
delegation to Mexico City. Again, I must emphasize that time
is very short.
With best wishes,
Sincerely,
James L. Buckley

Thank you , for your letter of June 14.
Mr. Baker was sorry to read of your recent financial troubles and appreciates your determination to rise above this and continue your work with the handicapped and illiterate.

Dear Jesse:
Thank you for your letter to the President concerning your meeting with Ambassador Dobrynin about participation by the U.S.S.R. in the Summer Olympic Games and for our telephone conversation regarding this matter. We are pleased that a bipartisan cross section of Congresspersons, athletes and distinguished citizens will appeal to the Soviet representatives on the International Olympic Committee to reconsider their decision. We all wish you well in this endeavor, and hope that you are successful because the Soviet withdrawal from the games is a great disappointment to our athletes and many others throughout the world.
As you know, the matter of participation in the Olympic Games has not been a government to government matter but, rather, a matter conducted by the International Olympic Committee, and its private sector representatives. Your bipartisan group would be private sector in nature and this is as it should be.
I can assure you, however, that this matter has received considerable attention from the U.S. Government in the past, and that we have given the Soviets extensive assurances regarding the safety of their athletes and the conditions under which they would participate. In this connection, you should know that the President has personally and publicly assured the International Olympic Committee that the United States has lived and will live up to the Olympic Charter. The assurances have been repeated publicly and privately to the Soviets. Further, the United States Government has taken the following actions:
Authorized at least 25 Aerof lot charter flights for the Olympics.
-- Assured the Soviets by diplomatic note and privately that, as agreed by the IOC, all Olympic participants could enter the U.S. on the basis of their Olympic identity cards without visas.
-- Authorized a month-long port call for a Soviet cruise ship to serve as their Olympics headquarters. Assured Soviets privately that after initial customs and safety inspection, subsequent searches of ship would be only for cause (e.g., bomb threats) and not for purpose of harassment.
- 2 -
-- Authorized entry of Aerof lot and shipping personnel in advance of games to do preparatory work.
-- Indicated our willingness to receive an Olympic attache with full diplomatic status (but not the individual originally proposed) .
-- Informed them we would be ready to rent vehicles (normally prohibited) to Soviet officials during the Olympics.
-- Told the Soviets publicly and privately that emigre groups opposing Soviet participation, organizing demonstrations or inciting defections have no USG sanction whatsoever.
-- Opened all areas containing Olympic sites, hotels, airports, etc. to Soviet travel from June 1 - August 15.
-- Undertook full responsibility for security of the Soviet ship, at a preliminarily estimated cost in excess of $500,000
-- Told the Soviets privately that every possible security precaution was being undertaken.
In addition, security preparations to protect Olympic participants have been underway for a long time and have been extraordinary in their scope. Over 17,000 people will have Olympic security-related duties in Los Angeles. The United States Government has committed $50 million to provide federal support for the Olympic security effort~
We have also taken some specific steps to meet Soviet concerns. As mentioned, the United States Government assumed full responsibility for security for the Soviet ship and had planned to spend in excess of $500,000 for this purpose. No demonstrations would have been permitted in the vicinity of the pier where the Soviet ship would have berthed.
The Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee (LAOOC) has also been very responsive to Soviet concerns about security issues. During the visit of the Soviet sports committee delegation to Los Angeles in December 1983 , the delegation did not express any dissatisfaction with the security arrangements. LAOOC informed the Soviets that there would be no demonstrations in facilities under LAOOC control, including all sites and the Olympic Village.
- 3 -
Under the circumstances, I think you will agree with me that we have been most forthcoming in trying to meet the concerns of the Soviets.
You have all of our best wishes for success. If those involved in this bipartisan effort are successful in securing Soviet participation in the Games, our country will owe them a debt of gratitude. If there is anything further that we can do to assist in this, please do not hesitate to let us know.
Sincerely,
James A. Baker, III Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President

Mr. Baker has asked that you please take special care in this election year to ensure that there is no mix-up regarding where these political bills are sent.

Would you please review this invitation and ask Mrs. Reagan to "take a look at it"? I would appreciate ~our letting me know what the final determination is.
Thank you.

Dear Jim:
Thank you for your recent letter and please forgive my delay in responding. I enjoyed hearing your news from Texas and hope that your speech in Dallas went well.
Your question about the White House Fellows Program is easily answered. There has been no change in policy here toward this program. There has been an effort to remind Assistants to the President to stay within their personnel ceilings. This includes not only their permanent, full-time staff positions, but also any detailees. White House Fellows billeted in another department would fall into this detailee category.
This emphasis on maintaining personnel ceilings certainly has not focused on the White House Fellows Program, but neither does it exempt them from the strict ceilings. I hope you will explain this to your fellow commissioners.

In New York City, WHN radio at your 1050 AM dial carries this broadcast at 12:06 EDT. WMLB in Hartford, CT., at your 1550 AM dial, airs the President's speech at this same time. If you cannot get these stations, any Mutual Broadcasting station carries President Reagan's Saturday radio broadcast.
Mr. Baker thanks you for taking the time to write.

MEMORANDUM TO: ED ROLLINS
FROM: JAMES A. BAKER, III
SUBJECT: John D. Sullivan
John Sullivan has contacted my office regarding his interest in working for Reagan-Bush '84.
I know John from our association during President Ford's 1976 campaign. I have attached a copy of John's resume and would appreciate it if you, or the appropriate member of your staff, would review his credentials.
I am referring this for whatever action you deem appropriate, however I would appreciate it if someone would at least follow-up with a telephone call to John Sullivan.
Thank you.

Dear John:
Frank B. Davis, whom I was associated with at Andrews & Kurth, has brought the resume of Judge David Hittner to my attention.
Frank Davis highly recommends Judge Hittner as an individual who has been an excellent judge. He points out the extreme competency of Judge Hittner and has observed, first hand, Judge Hittner's industriousness through his involvement in the Continuing Legal Education programs in the Houston Bar Association.
I would like to bring Judge David Hittner's resume to your attention and ask, on behalf of Frank Davis, that you give serious consideration to his credentials in your review of candidates for the Fifth Circuit in Texas.
Thank you, in advance, for your time and consideration.
The Honorable John Tower U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510

James A. Baker, III Chief of Staff and Assistant to the President

Dear Mr. Lane:
Thank you for your recent letter and please forgive our delay in responding.
The bi-partisan Spirit of America event in Atlanta, GA., which you questioned was sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the National Bank of Georgia, the Marietta Daily Journal & Neighbor Newspapers, and the Amway Corporation. As you can see, the Amway Corporation was only one of several sponsors. The President does not condone criminal actions of any kind and his acceptance of this invitation was based on the bi-partisan spirit which this particular event generated.
Mr. Baker thanks you once again for bringing your concerns to his attention.

Dear Jude:
Thank you for your letter of July 18 and please forgive my delay in responding. I am, in fact, dictating this letter from Houston as I had a busy week before I left town and did not have a chance to get through all of my correspondence.
I appreciate your letting me know of your strong feelings regarding the Fed and your concern about the commodity deflation that you see unfolding. I will bring your letter to the President's attention when I am in California next week. With regard to a meeting with the President, I am sure that you are aware of his busy schedule between now and Labor Day. I would appreciate it if we could let this request ride for a while -- and if you would get back to me after Labor Day if you still feel strongly about this.
Thank you once again for taking the time to write. I am sure that we will keep in touch in the upcoming months.
Hurriedly, but with best regards .
Mr. Jude Wanniski President Polyconomics, Inc. 66 Macculloch Avenue Morristown, N.J. 07960
