FROM: ELIZABETH H. OOIE

REQUEST: Fernarks at Washington for Jesus Planning Conference

PURPOSE: To rreet with extrerrely large, cross-denominational group co:rrpletely supportive of the President here to plan for 1984 WFJ Rally. Since the tuition tax credit was announced to a large catholic group to which the President travelled, it seems appropriate that he should announce the proposed Constitutional Arrend:rrent on sch(X)l prayer to this group which is gathered to enoourage prayer for our nation and its leaders.

BACKGROUND: In 1980 WFJ brought approximately 500,000 Christians to Washington to fast and pray for our leaders and our country. This group includes every race, denomination, tradition, age, and geographical location. Arrong its sponsors are the Washington Council of Churches, leaders of several large Hispanic and black groups, with Dr. Bill Bright, ca:rrpus Crusade, and Dr. Pat Robertson, CBN, as co-chainren of the program. Featured speaker at the evening session, Dr. Adrian Rogers, is past president of Southern Baptist Convention. District host is Bishop Srrallwood Williams, M::>ral .M:ljority. Other black leaders include Dr. E. V. Hill and Bishop J. O. Patterson, head of the Church of Cod in Christ, which has 4 million rreni::ers. Unique aspect of this group is that all are enthusiastic supporters of the President and are involved on a regular basis in prayer for him and the nation.

PREVIOUS carter invited a very few leaders into the Rose Garden but did not PARI'ICIPATION: participate in any other way.

DATE: April 29, 1982

LCCATION: D. C. Arrrory Hall

PARI'ICIPANTS: At least 6,000 Christian leaders and intercessors (they expect 10,000).

CXJTLINE OF EVENT: M:)rning session on Christian heritage of America with history of founding docurrents and exarrples of erosion of these religious freedoms, concluding with court cases and talks by lawyers on hCM each freedom has been weakend or eliminated. Evening is "MJrship.

REMARKS REQUESTED: Ideal time to announce sch(X)l prayer proposed arrendrrent either at close of rrorning session or opening of v.0rship session in evening.

MEDIA COVERAGE: Full rredia coverage with pictures.

Mr. Morton Blackwell Special Assistant to the President Office of Public Liason Old Executive Bldg. The White House Washington, D.C. 20500

Dear Mr. Blackwell,

I am writing to you at the recommendation of a mutual acquaintance, Ted Pantaleo. He mentioned to me of your conversation on the subject of the Washing ton for Jesus rally in 1980. He also told me of your stand for the Lord in our administration, and of your desire to see prayer return to the public school system.

Washington for Jesus saw over a half million Christians travel to the nation's capital for a demon stration of unity in the Church. April 29, 1980 was declared a day of humility and repentance before God, with all denominations, church traditions, races, and geographies represented at the National Mall.

Since that day, scores of rallies with the same spirit and emphasis of the original Washington for Jesus rally have taken place throughout the United States. We believe that as the Church continues to becom e one , it will h a ve a gre at impact on t h e Un i ted States.

You are probably aware of the upcoming Washington for Jesus Leadership Conference to be held in Washing ton, D.C. on April 28 and 29 of this year. I am the Youth Coordinator of this event. It will be attended by pastors, teachers, lay leaders, women's leaders, youth ministers, and other Christians who may influence others. I am enclosing a brochure to help you under stand the relationship of our Youth Conference to other events.

The National Christian Youth Leader's Conference will be held on April 28 at Bible Way Temple at 1130 New Jersey Avenue, N.W. Could you greet those in ,> - l

attendance and welcome them to the city? I feel that you would add a great deal to our program .

Because the program is gelling rapi dly at this late date, I would appreciate it if you could call me as soon as possible to let me know if you are able to honor us with your attendance. My phone number is 804- 495-1905.

Thank you and God bless you for all you have done in our nation's administration.

Your Brother in Christ,

MEMOAANDUM_ FOR ELIZABETH H. DOLE

THRU: DIANA LOZANO

FROM: MORTON BLACKWELL~

SUBJECT: APRIL 28 & 29 WASHINGTON FOR JESUS CONFERENCE

I have looked into the background of this group. They are a legitimate group with a wide following in the fundamentalist community. They are usually characterized as charismatics. These people are ·generally a bit more politically active than even the independent-Baptist-oriented clergy who are closer theologically to Dr. Jerry Falwell. This will be a very large and enthusiastic meeting of people who overwhelmingly are supporters of the President. I recommend this as a good occasion . for the announcement of a major presidential. initiative on behalf of a voluntary prayer amendment. The remarks, whether delivered by the President or a representative, would have to make it clear that this is ~n effort wit~ ?road support across all denominational ·lines. It would be an excellent media event and would wind up with all the enthusiasm generally expected at a political° rally. If we can agree on the wording of an amendment · to support, I would suggest it appropriate for the President to launch the effort at· this meeting. With•respect to your invitatiori to speak before the women's meeting, I think it would be a good idea as weil, whether or not we have a voluntary prayer amendment announcement to make.

Mrs. Elizabeth Dole Assistant to the President Office of Public Liason White Hbuse West Wing; Second Floor Washington, D.C. 20500 .

Dear Elizabeth,

I am writing to you -~t the suggestion of our mutual acquaintance, Ted Pantaleo. He recently shared with me on the subject of your conversation about the WASHINGTON FOR JESUS r~lly ~hi~h was held in 1980. I am the National Women•s Coordinator of the organization which sponsored the 1980 gathering as well as an ongoing effort to reach the cities of America.

You are probably aware of our upcoming gathering of Christian leaders called the -WASHINGTON -FOR JESUS Leadership Conference '82 whi ch will be hel d on April 28 and 29 of this year. I am enclosing a brochure rather than trying · to tell you all about the meetings in this short letter .

We are very excited about . the potentia1 of these conferences, and anticipate that more than 10,000 pastors, teachers, women in leadership, youth ministers, lay leaders, and others with influence in the Body of Chrdst t will be in attendance ~

. Elizabeth, our p~ogram is being coordinated by Christians of every race, denomination, tradition, age, and geography. We believe that when the Church in the United States comes together for a united demonstration of the Lordship of Jesus Christ, we will have a power ful im~act on our nation .

As women from around the United States .gather . for the National Christian Women's Leadership Conference at the DAR Constitution Hall on April 28, we will be greeted by many prominent residents of the District of Columbia. We are aware of your Christian witness ... ,,.

in the administration, arid your continuing interest in restoring prayer in the American public school system. Could you join us during our morning session and greet these Christian women leaders on behalf of the White House? I feel your welcome would add a grea t deal to our program.

As in our original WASHINGTON FOR JESUS rally, and the moie than fifty ensuing AMERICA FOR JESUS gatherings which have taken place s±nce, our focus in the Leadership Conference will be on prayer, repentance, humility before a loving God, and unity in the Body (John 17:21). Our effect on both the local o. c. officials and our nation's government has always been very positi ve~ we know of no instance in which our meetings have had anything less than an excellent r ecept ion .

April 28, of course, ' is drawing quite near and our program is gelling rapidly. Elizabet h, could you call or write as soon as possible to let us know if you a re able to iavor us ~ith yo~r a t ien~~nce? Thank yoi, ~nd please know that we love you and prayerf ully suppo rt your efforts in our nation·•s administration .

Constitution Hall, 18th and D Street, N. ~ National Christian Youth Leadership Conference Bible Way Church, 1130 New Jersey Avenue, N. W.
