As a result, the actual “work” of the office quite frequently took place outside the confines of the White House. The Directors of the office, Steven Studdert, William Henkel, and James Hooley, spent a considerable time in the field, particularly in support of international travel. Activities within this office centered round the “trip desk,” which was the coordinating point for trips and events, as well as other activities such as site surveys conducted independently of specific trips. The trip desk provided a method to accumulate all related material. Records related to each trip/event were gathered during and after the activity and filed at the trip desk. This allowed the central accumulation of records from the numerous “advance” volunteers used by this office. The files for local events and domestic travel were interfiled in chronological order. In general, international trips, generating significantly larger sets of records, were separated. The trip desk generated books for use by trip participants. These trip books contain hour-by- hour schedules, travel details, scheduled events, participant lists, and background information. Some of the activities related to a particular trip could include: a site survey done prior to this trip, a pre-advance trip for establishing plans, the actual trip including departure and return, and in some cases, additional pre-advance trips, termed special missions, to deal with specific issues regarding pending meetings. These special missions were most often done for US/Soviet Union Summits. The office has been arranged in 9 series: Series I: Administration Series V: US/Soviet Union Summits Series II: Events Series VI: International Trips Series III: Domestic Trips Series VII: Cancelled Events and Trips Series IV: Summits of Industrialized Series VIII: Site Surveys Nations Series IX: Santa Barbara Trip Desk 3/10/2021. Bolded folders are available for research use today. No need to FOIA. Advance -2 SERIES I: ADMINISTRATION (6.7 l.ft., 19 boxes) The material in this series reflects support activities for the office both in the field and at the White House. The material is divided into seven subseries as follows: Subseries A: Correspondence and General Administration. This subseries contains chronological files for the office, general correspondence, parking assignments and White House passes, car rental and hotel invoices, word processing disks and documentation, facilities use, and the Advance Office Seminar material. It is loosely arranged in chronological order. Subseries B: Financial. This subseries contains budget and travel expense information. It is arranged in chronological order. Subseries C: Travel Authorizations. This subseries contains travel authorizations for Advance staff members for the period October 1982-1988. It is arranged chronologically. Subseries D: Personnel. This subseries contains personnel assignment sheets, experience records, general personnel files, candidate files, resume files and two sets of individual personnel folders. It is arranged in alphabetical order. Subseries E: Photos. This subseries contains photo requests, photo lab orders and some photographs. The actual photographs were transferred to audio-visual for storage. The material is arranged in an alphabetical/chronological order. Subseries F: Forms and Signs. This subseries contains copies of all the forms and signs used by the Advance Office in the field. Subseries G: Specimen Trip Cover Binders. This subseries contains samples of the bound covers used for trip books for various international trips. SERIES II: EVENTS, 1981-1989 (28 l.ft.; 23 boxes) This series reflects the documentation gathered for the trip desk for activities taking place in the greater Washington, DC area involving the President. These include White House events, such as the Rose Garden, East Room, etc. White House international trip departure and return ceremonies are not included here; rather, these are filed with the specific international trip. There are some exceptions to this filing system. The visit of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip to the United States in February-March 1983 also included a trip to the West Coast by the Reagans, to host the British royals at the Reagan ranch. That material is included here. However, material regarding the visit of the Chinese premier in January 1984 is filed with the international trip to China later in 1984. The material is in chronological order. SERIES III: DOMESTIC TRIPS, 1981-1989 (40 l.ft., 35 boxes) The records in this series reflect the documentation gathered for the trip desk for all presidential 3/10/2021. Bolded folders are available for research use today. No need to FOIA. Advance Office-3 travel outside the Washington, DC area within the United States. Included in this series are three trips to Mexican border cities: Tijuana (October 1982), La Paz (August 1983), and Mexicali (December 1985). All three of these trips were a part of more extensive domestic U.S. trips by the President. The material is in chronological order. SERIES IV: SUMMITS OF INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS (G-7), 1981-1988 (13 l.ft., 11 boxes) The records in this series reflect the documentation gathered by the trip desk for all trip planning and travel to and from the G-7 economic summits, properly known as the Summits of Industrialized Nations. During the 1980s only seven countries were part of this group. The summits were held annually and rotated to a different country each time the event was convened. For the Reagan administration, the summits were held as follows: 1981 – Ottawa, Canada; 1982 – Versailles, France; 1983 – Williamsburg, VA; 1984 – London, England; 1985 – Bonn, West Germany; 1986 – Tokyo, Japan; 1987 – Venice, Italy; and 1988 – Toronto, Canada. We have included in this series all documentation of the side trips occurring both before and after the summits. For example, the series includes the 1984 trip to the Reagan “roots” in Ireland, and the June 1984 trip to Normandy for the commemoration of the 40th anniversary of D-Day, which were taken in conjunction with the trip to London for the G-7 Summit. In 1985 Reagan addressed the European Parliament, and visited the German military cemetery at Bitburg, as side trips from the Bonn summit. In 1987 he visited Berlin, and delivered his “Tear down this wall” speech, as a side trip from the Venice summit. The material is arranged chronologically. SERIES V: U.S./SOVIET SUMMITS, 1985-1988 (6.3 l.ft., 5 boxes) The records in this series reflect the documentation gathered by the trip desk for all travel to and from the summits between President Reagan and General Secretary of the U.S.S.R., Mikhail Gorbachev. Material also reflects pre-advance arrangements on choosing a meeting place, setting up accommodations for parties and social arrangements for the meetings. For additional material on the planning for these meetings, please see the James Hooley collection. There were four formal summit meetings of Reagan and Gorbachev during the Reagan administration held in: Geneva, Switzerland, November 1985, Reykjavik, Iceland, October 1986; Washington, D.C, December 1987, and Moscow, Russia, May 1988-June 1988. This material is arranged chronologically by meeting. SERIES VI: INTERNATIONAL TRIPS, 1981-1988 (17.5 l.ft., 14 boxes) The records in this series reflect the documentation gathered by the trip desk for all presidential trip planning and travel to and from international destinations not associated with US/Soviet Summits or G-7 Summits. The material is arranged chronologically. SERIES VII: CANCELLED EVENTS/TRIPS, 1982-1988 (1 l.ft., 1 box) The records in this series reflect documentation for the planning and travel of presidential 3/10/2021. Bolded folders are available for research use today. No need to FOIA. Advance Office-4 events/trips which were later cancelled. The material is arranged chronologically. SERIES VIII: SITE SURVEYS, 1982-1989 (2.5 l.ft., 2 boxes) The records in this series reflect documentation of trips made by the Advance Office staff to various locations to establish the suitability of a particular area or site for a presidential event. Staff surveyed various locations and established local contacts for future use in case of a scheduled presidential event. The material is arranged alphabetically by state. SERIES IX: SANTA BARBARA TRIP DESK, 1981-1988 (2.5 l.ft., 2 boxes) The records in this series reflect documentation for planning and presidential trips to and from the President’s ranch in Santa Ynez, California and trips and events occurring while the President was at his ranch. Given the extended time President Reagan spent at his ranch during his presidency, it was more efficient to maintain a separate trip desk in Santa Barbara for these times. The material is arranged chronologically. The Advance Office had their own copies of photograph contact sheets for trips and events by the President. This material was housed in 18 Oversize Attachments: OAs 10717, 10768, 10969, 11176-11178, 12800-12803, 13321-13323, and 15496-15498.

  • Checklist for the Moscow Summit,Briefing
    65 1 May 20,1988 CHECKLIST FOR THE MOSCOW SUMMIT,BRIEFING From May 29 to June 2,1988, Ronald Reagan will be in Moscow for his fourth meeting with Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev. The first meeting, in Geneva in 1985, restored United States-Soviet summit dialogue after a six-year hiatus caused by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the terminal illness of three Soviet leaders. Reagan and Gorbachev met again in Reykjavik in 1986. That meeting broke down over Soviet insistence that the U.S. abandon its Strategic Defense Initiative. The third summit; .atwhichathe Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty was signed, was held in Washington last December. With this fourth Reagan-Gorbachev summit, Reagan will have met the Soviet leader more times than any American President has met any other Soviet leader. In an important sense, therefore, this summit is almost routine. Dramatic agreements should not be expected, nor are they desirable. In keeping with this the Moscow summit should be deliberately low-key. Reagan should downplay arms control issues, except to insist on full Soviet compliance with the INF Treaty and to insist that any strategic arms agreement must include provisions for strategic defense deployment. Items of U.S. Concern. Reagan should emphasize agenda items reflecting U.S. concern over Soviet expansionism abroad and human rights abuses at home. He forcefully should express U.S. opposition to Soviet support for wars that anti-democratic and anti-Western regimes wage against their own peoples. He should tell Gorbachev that the U.S. expects Moscow to end all involvement in Afghanistan; stop its military aid to Nicaragua and pull Soviet-bloc advisors out of that country; support internationally supervised elections in Mozambique and Angola, along with a withdrawal of Soviet and Cuban troops from the latter country; refrain from encouraging the Philippine communist rebels; and end genocide being committed in Ethiopia by the Soviet client regime of the dictator Mengistu Haile Maria.

  • Tony Abbott's 'Private Dinner' with Barack Obama Actually a Lunch Attended by Dozens February 1, 2016
    Tony Abbott's 'private dinner' with Barack Obama actually a lunch attended by dozens February 1, 2016 David Wroe National security correspondent Former prime minister Tony Abbott crossed paths with US President Barack Obama at an event attended by dozens of other people rather than having a "private dinner" as reported. Mr Abbott, who has been in the US for several days, met Mr Obama at a lunch of the Alfalfa Club, an informal gathering of high-powered businesspeople and politicians, according to multiple sources. The impromptu meeting was reported in News Corp papers as the pair having "met privately", suggesting Mr Abbott was still being actively courted and received by the Obama administration in what would be a source of frustration for his successor Malcolm Turnbull. Instead the meeting took place at a larger gathering believed to have been attended by about 50 Washington powerbrokers. Mr Abbott's high-profile engagements in the US in the past week as well as those of former defence minister Kevin Andrews have underscored how the former prime minister and his supporters are determined to project influence as the spear- carriers of the Liberal Party's right wing. The Alfalfa Club, which has existed for more than a century, has about 200 members. Mr Abbott and Mr Obama are understood to have met at a club lunch on Saturday held at the mansion of the revered civil rights leader, lawyer and business executive Vernon Jordan. Mr Abbott is understood to have also attended the club's main social event of the year, a dinner held on Saturday night at Washington's Capital Hilton hotel, though Mr Obama did not attend the dinner.

Reid: Law, Politics and the Homeless LAW, POLITICS AND THE HOMELESS INEZ SMITH REID* I. INTRODUCTION The plight of the homeless is one of the most vexing social problems con- fronting policy makers in this country. So pervasive is this problem that it touched the 1984 presidential election, and prompted the incumbent president to make a promise concerning the establishment of a model facility for the homeless in Washington, D.C., a promise that became the subject of legal action in 1985.' Had the social problem of the homeless emerged publicly in the decade of the sixties, undoubtedly it would have been handled by President Lyndon John- son's "Great Society" and "War on Poverty," and perhaps even resolved in large measure by funding through programs such as Model Cities. Moreover, the plight of the homeless certainly would have captured the imagination and commanded the legal talents of dedicated poverty lawyers who were determined to establish a constitutional right to life, including the basics of human existence: food, shelter, and even medical care.

  • Significant Developments in the Immigration Laws of the United States 1986
    Synopsis SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE IMMIGRATION LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES 1986 This Synopsis highlights significant legal developments which oc- curred in immigration law in 1986. The Supreme Court decided only one immigration case during this period, dealing with the definition of "child" in Immigration and Nationality Act section 244 suspension of deportation cases. The lower federal courts were highly active, dealing with a wide range of important immigration issues. The most significant development in 1986 was the passage by the 99th Congress of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). Passage of IRCA culminates six years of con- gressional attempts to reach an agreement on immigration reform. Seemingly cutting both ways, IRCA provides tough employer sanctions while offering generous legalization provisions and mul- tiple safeguards for the humane administrationof new policies. INTRODUCTION By presidential proclamation, July 4, 1986, was declared "Na- tional Immigrants Day."' On Liberty Weekend, "all America cele- brate[d] the memory of those hardy immigrants, who, symbolically at least, looked up and saw the Statue of Liberty lifting her lamp beside the golden door. It [was] a time to smile, to weep, to sigh contentedly."' 2 Meanwhile, despite widespread sympathy for immi- 1. Proclamation No. 5510, 51 Fed. Reg. 24, 509 (1986). The presidential procla- mation reads, in pertinent part: Since 1820, more than 52 million immigrants have come to the United States from all over the world. They have sought and found a new and better life for themselves and their children in this land of liberty and opportunity. The mag- net that draws them is freedom and the beacon that guides them is hope.

I had no doubts about the outcome of this election until George McGovern told me he was 1000% behind me.

And someone ••• I don't know who ••• hired Victor Lasky to write a book about me. With all that advice and help, I knew I needed support, so I organized a Chairmen for Humphrey Committee.

Now, you have heard President Borman disclose one of my secrets. Yes, it is true that I streaked through the streets of Minneapolis in the interest of full disclosure. (Shake head in disbelief.) But nobody looked. Well, that's not quite true. One person did , and I heard him say, "There's old Hubert with his tongue flapping again.
