THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON MEMORANDUM 3778 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON ACTION June 21, 1979 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT FROM: HENRY OWEN '6 SUBJECT: Summit Congressional Briefing Last week you discussed US positions at the Tokyo Summit that might involve agreement by the Summit countries on such actions as: a commitment to fixed oil import levels for 1979 and 1980; asking oil companies not to buy or sell at speculative prices in the spot market; commencing international allocation of scarce oil supplies on a voluntary basis; -- a commitment to international financing of commercial scale projects demonstrating new energy technologies, and creating a group to study how this can best be done. None of these actions would require legislation, at least initially, but all would require Congressional support. Stu and I believe that this support is more likely to be forthcoming, when you report on Summit results upon your return, if you have discussed these initiatives with Congressional leaders beforehand. We would propose, if you agree, to invite the following members to a meeting tomorrow: Sen. Howard Baker Sen. Henry Jackson Sen. Lloyd Bentsen Sen. Jacob Javits Sen. Dale Bumpers Sen. J.

  • Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba.
