CICCONI L,t-tl./' ( \ j SUBJECT: Auto Plant Dedication For your information: Yesterday, General Motors Chairman Roger Smith met with JAB and mentioned that two new GM auto plants are opening this year in St. Louis and Detroit. The plants, which will employ 6,000 workers, have not yet been dedicated (in a ceremonial sense), and Smith offered to hold off so that the President can dedicate one or both. The dedication(s) could be scheduled anytime between now and September. If there is any interest in this suggestion, Smith can pro vide further details. It might be a good event to combine blue-collar appeal with a theme of economic recovery. Thanks. cc: James A. Baker, III Margaret D. Tutwiler THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 21, 1984 MEMORANDUM FOR FAITH RYAN WHITTLESEY FROM: JAMES W. CICCON~ SUBJECT: Olympic Torch Delegation With regard to the delegation to bring the Olympic Torch from Greece (memo attached) , we have been informed that there will be no such delegation this year. In addition to problems with the Greeks over what they view as "commercialization of the Olympic flame," there were apparently other concerns which argued against sending a delegation. As I understand it, the flame will now be trans mitted by laser as was done at Montreal. By the way, I have been told that Mr. Andrew Athens, the per son you suggested, may have already traveled to Greece as part of the delegation that brought the Olympic Torch back for the 1980 Winter Games at Lake Placid. cc: John Herrington THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 19, 1984 MillOFANDUM FOR JAMES BAKER, CHIEF OF STAFF FRQ·1: FAITH WHITJ'LESEY, ASSISTJl...N'I' TO THE P:RFSIDENT FOE PU~LIC LIAISON SUJ3JEX::;'I': Delegation to Bring Olympic 'J.brch from Greece to the U.S. later this year, a delegation will be appointed to travel to Greece to reC',eive the 01ympic Torch and deliver it to the United States.

Baker III Chief of Staff The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. Washington, D.C. 20400 Dear Jim: I want to bring you up to date on a problem that is of grave concern to The University of Texas System and the Texas A&M University System. As you know, the Texas Constitution allows us to issue tax-exempt bonds periodically up to 20 % of the value of the Permanent University Fund. We have done this regularly since 1959. In May , 1982, b e cause of an IRS action relating to a bond sale in another state, the tax-exempt status of PUF bonds was thrown into question. After considerable negotiations, a special IRS ruling was obtained in November, 1982, which permits us to issue tax-exempt PUF bonds if we a llocate presently-held lower-yield government securities, government agency securi ties, and corporate bonds to match the amount of all PUF bonds issued a fter May, 1978. While e xtremely h e lpful, the latitude allowed by this special ruling will be extinguished by approximately January, 1986 causing us to stop issuing tax-exempt bonds or to make additional investments in low-yield bonds, which we feel would violate the "prudent p e rson" fiduciary r e sponsibilities mandated by the State Constitution. We have bee n working with officials of the Treasury Departme nt to obtain a regulatory r e write which would allevi ate this situation. We understand now, however, that there is a possibility that this solution may not be available. The Honorable James A. Baker III March 14, 1984 Page 2 If regulatory relief is not available, there are two alternatives remaining.
