    White House Interview Program DATE: July 8, 1999 INTERVIEWEE: LLOYD CUTLER INTERVIEWER: Martha Kumar With Nancy Kassop MK: May we tape? LC: Yes, but I’d like to have one understanding. I have been misquoted on more than one occasion. I’ll be happy to talk to you about what I think about the transition but I don’t want my name attached to any of it. MK: Okay. So we’ll come back to you for any quotes. We’re going to look at both aspects: the transition itself and then the operations of the office. Working on the theory that one of the things that would be important for people is to understand how an effective operation works, what should they be aiming toward? For example, what is a smooth-running counsel’s office? What are the kinds of relationships that should be established and that sort of thing? So, in addition to looking at the transition, we’re just hoping they’re looking toward effective governance. In your time in Washington, observing many administrations from various distances, you have a good sense of transitions, what works and what doesn’t work. One of the things we want to do is isolate what are the elements of success—just take a number, six elements, five elements—that you think are common to successful transitions. What makes them work? LC: Well, the most important thing to grasp first is how much a White House itself, especially as it starts off after a change in the party occupying the White House, resembles a city hall.

    White House Interview Program DATE: December 29, 1999 INTERVIEWEE: GERALD RAFSHOON INTERVIEWER: Martha Kumar [Disc 1 of 1] MK: When you’d like to go off-the-record or on-background, that’s fine as well. Ultimately the material goes into a presidential library; it will go into the [Jimmy] Carter Library. We’re working with the National Archives on it. The full interviews don’t come out publicly until 2001, when a new President comes in, and also you’ve had a chance to go over the transcript. GR: Okay. MK: It’s going to be used in various ways. It’s a group of presidency scholars and we’re doing profiles of seven offices. We’ve selected seven offices. And we’ll go back over time to the [Richard] Nixon administration, and profile what the functions have been, the responsibilities, different ways in which they’ve been organized. I’m writing the one by myself on communications. I’m doing press and communications by myself. The pieces themselves are going to be short, although they’ll be on a pass-coded website for people coming in so they can then⎯in addition to reading the fifteen pages about some of the general things about the office⎯they’ll be able to select items within it as well. We’ll have links in to longer pieces. And then we’re doing what we call “Standards of a Successful Start” in the spring, which are isolating maybe eight elements that are common to successful transitions. GR: Interesting. Did you read Bob Woodward's latest book, Shadow: Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate? MK: Yes.

    Opening Argument - Lloyd Cutler: the Last Superlawyer - Nationaljourn

    Opening Argument - Lloyd Cutler: The Last Superlawyer - NationalJourn... http://www.nationaljournal.com/magazine/opening-argument-lloyd-cutler... BY STUART TAYLOR JR May 14, 2005 . There will never be another superlawyer on the scale of Lloyd Cutler, who died on May 8 at age 87. This is not to deny the possibility that someone, somewhere may replicate the dazzling array of talents that made Cutler the pre-eminent lawyer-statesman of his generation: intellectual brilliance, wisdom, public-spiritedness, eloquence, genius for grasping the interests of everyone around the table, and passion for forging consensus solutions to hard problems. But even if more such people walk among us, the political and legal environments that enabled Cutler to be Cutler no longer exist. This is a man who served every Democratic president since LBJ and every Republican president since Ronald Reagan; who won the trust and friendship of the best and brightest leaders in both major parties; who represented corporate titans and civil-rights groups; who moved effortlessly between private and public sectors; who tackled national problems as diverse as the race riots of the 1960s, the Iranian hostage crisis, the vast, unsecured nuclear stockpiles in Russia, and faulty intelligence on weapons in Iraq. The snarling partisanship, pervasive mistrust, intellectual shallowness, and TV-driven demagogy that permeate today's Washington would make it all but impossible for a Lloyd Cutler to work his magic now. He was in his element when steering small groups of serious, moderate-spirited leaders who wanted to make the system work, and who were moved not by flash or fiery rhetoric or poll numbers, but by intellectual rigor.

SYMPOSIUM CONSTITUTIONAL "REFOLUTION" IN THE EX-COMMUNIST WORLD: THE RULE OF LAW September 26, 1996 FOREWORD* Since the collapse of communist power in the early 1990s, Eastern Europe and the rest of the former Soviet-dominated world have experienced significant and unprecedented changes. Although potentially revolutionary in impact, the eco- nomic, political, and legal transitions have been achieved through reform of exist- ing institutions rather than violent revolution. Timothy Garton Ash has called this process "refolution." This symposium will focus on the development and promo- tion of the rule of law in the context of this "refolution" now underway in the for- mer communist world. The panelists, each an experienced and renowned special- ist, will present their views in a roundtable format that will include extensive audience questions.
