Honorable James Cicconi Special Assistant to the

President THE WHITE HOUSE Washington, D. c. 20500

Dear Jim:

On November 15, 1984, at 11:00 A.M. in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Luther s. Williams, Ph.D., will be inaugurated as the President of one of the nation's outstanding historically black universities, Atlanta University.

I know that you are well aware that Atlanta University is a black graduate institution founded in 1865. Atlanta University is a private, independent, co-educational university in Atlanta, Georgia. It is responsible for graduate and professional education in a major consortium of historically and predominantly black institutions--the Atlanta University Center. The consortium includes, in addition to the University, four undergraduate colleges-­Clark, Morehouse, Morris Brown, and Spelman--six denomi­national schools in the Interdenominational Theological Center and a school of medicine.

There is only one other graduate historically black insti­tution in this country that can compare with Atlanta University in the number of black professionals that it has trained and that is Howard University.

Dr. Luther S. Williams, (vita attached) is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Miles College with a M.S., degree in Biology from Atlanta University and a Ph.D., in Microbial Physiology from Purdue University. From 1966 to 1968 Dr. Williams was both a Predoctoral Fellow and Postdoctoral

Fellow Awardee at the National Institutes of Health. In 1975, he was elected to the Oustanding Educators of America and in 1977, was elected to the New York Academy of Sciences. Dr. Williams is an extraordinarily well respected biologist and indeed ranks among the very finest biologists in our nation.

Just prior to accepting his new leadership position as President of Atlanta University, he has been Vice President of Academic Affairs at the University of Colorado. Before that, he was the Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Washington University for three years, and Director of the Minority Center for Graduate Education at Eurdue from 1977 to 1980.

It would be a significant honor and appropriate acknowl­edgement if the President of the United States would write a congratulatory letter to Dr. Williams that could be read at his inauguration in Atlanta on November 15, 1984, by

he Atlanta University Board of Trustees.

There are many strong reasons why the President of the United States should consider such a congratulatory letter. In addition to Dr. Williams' achievements and leadership already mentioned, Atlanta University is itself an extraor­dinary human resource for this nation.

o Thirty percent of black MBA's in the United States earned their Master Degrees at Atlanta University.

o More than 1,600 graduates of Atlanta University are employed as teachers and administrators in the public school system of Atlanta, Georgia.

o More than five percent of all black Ph.D., in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics earned one of their degrees at Atlanta University.

November 6, 1984

Honorable James Cicconi Special Assistant to the

President THE WHITE HOUSE

o Eighty percent of all black librarians in the United States and the Caribbean, including

Page 3

the heads of several major libraries, have received their training at Atlanta University.

o Graduates of Atlanta University serve on the faculties of more than 100 institutions of higher education, including all of the ac­credited predominantly black colleges as well as some of the nation's most prestigious universities.

I believe this is an appropriate occasion for President Reagan to acknowledge the considerable leadership of both Atlanta University as an historically black institution, and Dr. Williams as its new President. There is no doubt that together, Dr. Williams and Atlanta University will further the quality of black graduate education in the United States.

Thank you for every assistance you will give to this request.

In the event that the President would choose to send such a letter, I have taken the liberty of including a suggested draft. A letter for his off ice walls is prepared to a telegram.

Sincerely,

Elaine R. Jenkins President

FROM: President Reagan

TO: Dr. Luther S. Williams

Dear Dr. Williams:

I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate you and to

wish you every success upon your inauguration as the President of

Atlanta University. This is indeed a very special occasion for

you and for Atlanta University and for all the historically black

universities in this nation that will, by association, benefit

from your leadership of one of their sister institutions, Atlanta

University.

Atlanta University can be proud and enthused about the

vision, drive and leadership that you will bring to its important

educational endeavors. Your strong record of academic service

and research, and your reputation as a leader who accomplishes

his objectives should serve well the mission of Atlanta

University so appropriately summarized in the school's motto,

11 1 1 11 find a way or make one. 11

Rest assured I wish you every strength and success in your

new endeavors.

Mr. John S. Herrington Assistant to the President for Personnel The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20500

Dear Mr. Herrington:

Please consider this letter as the first part of my application for a position in the new Reagan Administration. In recent weeks, I have been in contact with a number of advisors who have recommended that I write to you immediately. Senator Jeremiah Denton wants you to receive my initial letter before he forwards an endorsement.

For your information and for official filing, I am enclosing a brief summary of my background. A much more detailed resume is available. I hope you will have no objections if I request copies of various endorsement letters be forwarded to you. These letters can become a part of the documentation used in consideration of my application.

Mr. Harrington, my resume indicates a background in journalism and government affairs, both in the U. S. and abroad. I am Vice President - Government Affairs for American General Corporation, the nation's fourth largest shareholder-owned insurance conglomerate. I believe that my education and experience qualify me for Congressional liaison and legislative work in any number of Administration offices and agencies. But, realizing that it is important to be specific in an application of this kind, my employment preferences are: The White House, Department of Commerce, and Department of Energy.
