DEANE C. DAVIS 5 OYER AVENUE MONTPEt.IER, VERMONT 05602 December 20, 1983 The President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 ~De-ar- : :Mr. President:. · This letter is in reference to the forthcoming vacancy ... ·. . in the office of. Federal. District Judge for Vermont, occasioned by the retirement of Judge James Holden. Senator Stafford tells me that he is to recommend several. names including that of Lawrence A. Wright of. _Hines .burg._.:. -. I strongly endorse Mr. Wright.

Mr. Wright is highly qualified for this posi~ion on all counts: ability, age, judici~l temperament and trial experience. When I was Governor of Vermont I selected Mr. Wright for appointment to the office of Vermont Tax Commissioner. The Legislature had just passed a new and highly complicated Sales Tax and a highly qualified man was needed to set up and administer the new system. He performed in a superb manner. His· extensive experience with the Internal Revenue Servic e as a trial attorney eminently qualifies him to become a judge. He is fully at home in the court room. As you may recall you· asked me to undertake the Chairmans hip of the Reagan Campaign in Vermont in the Primary. By that time Mr. Wright had retired as Tax Commissioner and had joined one of the most prestigious law firms in the State, the firm of Gravel, Shea and Wright. His work i n that practice has earned him wide recognition and an excellent clientele. He is highly regarded throughout the State by the lawyers as well as the general public •

I a$ked Mr. Wright to assume the Chairmanship of the Reagan Campaign and I acted in the capacity of Honorary Chairman, but he managed the campaign. Although we started late we won and Mr. Wright's handling of that campaign must be given the major credit because we had started late and many of our natural supporters had become committed. to Mr. Bush. ----The· outstanding .· manner in which he managed .that campaign resulted in a demand for his election as Republican National Committeeman from Vermont. He was unanimously elected. Mr. President1:: I assure you that this. would be. an, extremel y popular appo~ntment in Vermont. And he would make an excellent Judge and a credit . to your Administration-.

I r~coirunend him without reservation.

1 ! r III. U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

Judge Joyce Green will be taking senior status on this bench effective January 15, 1984. This Committee should discuss the various candidates available for appointment to this vacancy.

Possible candidates mentioned for this position include Stanley Sporkin (CIA General Counsel) , Judge George w. Rever­ cornbe, Stephen Trimble and Faith Whittlesey. Attached for your information is a letter to the President from CIA Director William Casey recommending Sporkin. Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist has urged us to consider the qualifications of George Revercornbe, as has D.C. Court of Appeals Judge Malcolm Wilkey (see attached letter) • ~. .

"'\\TJLLIAM J. CASEY

7 January 1984

Dear Mr. Pr~sident, I believe that the designation of Stanley Sporkin, now General Counsel at the CIA, to fill the vacancy on the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia would be widely recognized as a distinguished and richly deserved appointment. After graduating from law school, Mr. Sporkin clerked for three years with the Chief Judge of the District Court for the District of Delaware. He then served twenty years with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) culminating with eight years as Director of the Division of Enforcement. The caliber of his performance, his

Sporkin was a tower of strength dealing with the so-called Boland Amendment which, as you recall, precluded the Government from spending any money for the purpose of overthrowing the Government of Nicaragua. As soon as the law was passed in late 1982, Stan acted to take the steps necessary to bring the Agency's operations in line with the Amendment's restrictions. He provided our operations people with detailed counselling on how to meet the Amendment's requirements and to be able to subsequently prove our compliance to t~e . Congress. It was largel~ because of Stan's foresight that the .Agency and the Administration were able to effectively counter the subsequently made but unfounded allegations that the Agency was not in compliance with the Amendment. Sporkin is a lifelong Republican. His father still serves as a judge in Philadelphia and, at the age of 88, .is the oldest judge in the Pennsylvania Court system. Stan's lifelong ambition is to serve as a judge himself and he has admirably equipped himself to render outstanding service in that capacity. His work at _the SEC was characterized by a special ability which qualifies hi iTf-exceptionally for outstanding judicial service, to accurately strike and .. ma·intain the delicate balance between the critical interests of national policy and the responsibilities of government officials to protect the rights of the American public. In my observation of Sporkin ... and, I believe, in the perception of the legal profession and the interested public around the country, what comes through is a nice balance of insistence on strict adherence to and enforcement of the law, a strong sense of justice, and a sensitivity to the human and personal interests involved.

The President The White House Washington, D. C. 20500 Mr. Sporkin, General Counsel of the Central Intelligence Agency since May 1981, has had a long career in public service. After graduating from law school, he clerked three years for Judge Caleb M. Wright, Chief Judge of the District Court for the District of Delaware, from 1957 to 1960. Mr. Sporkin then entered the private practice of law in Washington, D.C., with 1the iaw firm of Haley Wallenberg and Bader. In 1961 Mr. Sporkin joined the United States Securities and Exchange Co,rnmission, initially to work on the SEC's special study of securities markets. In 1963 at the conclusion of his special assignment, Mr. Sporkin became a staff member of the SEC. Between 1963 and 1974 Mr. Sporkin held positions with increasing responsibilities culminating in his appoint­ ment as Director of the Division of Enforcement in 1974. Mr. Sporkin held that position until May 1981 when he joined the CIA.

Mr. Sporki~ · was born in Philadelphia on 7 February 1932. He received his -B.A. degree in 1953 from Pennsylvania State University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He graduated from Yale Law Scpool in 1957. Mr. Sporkin was admitted to the Pennsylvania and Delaware Bars in 1958 and the District of Columbia Bar,. in 1963, and was admitted to practice before the U.S. Su~reme Court in 1964. He is also a Certified Public Accountant and serves as an Adjunct Professor of securities law at Howard University School of Law.

In 1979 Mr. Sporkin was a recipient of the President's Award for D~3tinguished Federal Civilian Service, the highest honor that can be granted to a member of the federal career service. He received in 1978 the Rockefeller Award for Public Service from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and in 1976 the National Civil Service League's Special Achievement Award. He has also been presented the Securities and Exchange Commission's Distinguished Service Award and Supervisory Excellence Award. In 1979 Mr. Sporkin was given the Alumnus of the Year Award by Pennsylvania State University. In 1981 Mr. Sporkin received the rank of the Meritorious Executive in the Senior Executive Service for sustained superior accomplishment in management of programs of the United States Government and for noteworthy achievement of quality and efficiency in the public service.

Mr. Sporkin and his wife, the former Judith Sally Imber of Philadelphia, are the parents of three children, Elizabeth, Daniel and Thomas. t'

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

WASHINGTON . D . C . 20001

MALCOLM RICHARD WILKEY UNITED STATES C I RCUIT JUCGE 10 January 1984

The Honorable Fred Fielding Counsel to the President The White House Washington, D.C. 20500 Re: George Revercomb : U.S. District Court for the District of-Columbia Dear Fred: When the first vacancy on the U.S. District Court occurred in this Administration, I immediately wrote a letter to the in regard to Judge George Revercomb of the D.C. Superior Court. My understanding is that he was considered for that vacancy and for two others which occurred subsequently. Now we have another vacancy on the U.S. District Court occasioned by Judge June Green taking senior status. · · I know that you and the Attorney General both have a role in the selection of the nominations for the courts, and I don'~ believe that I have made known to you my strong belief that George Revercomb would be an excellent appointment. I am enclosing a copy of the letter which I wrote two years ago in regard to the then current vacancy. I fully endorse today everything I said therein. And, in the intervening months I have heard nothing but praise for Judge Revercomb's work on the Superior Court. While the appointments made by this Administration to the U.S. District Court have been indeed excellent, I reiterate that George Revercomb would be 8.n absolutely top-notch appointment. r.

There is one additional factor, not mentioned in my original letter, to which you should give serious consideration. The last three District Court appointments have been able men whose origin and background were the District of Columbia itself. The U.S. District Court here handles cases whose origin and whose effect cover the entire United States. It is highly desirable, just as it is on the Court of Appeals, to have men and women of diverse geographical and legal backgrounds on the U.S. District Court. It has been recognized in the Court of Appeals that we handle cases involving energy, airlines, television, environment, banking, transportation, and communication which impact on the entire United States, and the composition of our court reflects the scope of our problems. That is now not true of the District Court, although the District Court increasingly in the last fifteen years has had a higher and higher percentage of its work devoted to these national issues. I would wager that over 5096 of the cases in the District Court could be so classified at the present time. George Revercomb comes from West , where his father was a United States Senator. He has grown up with natural resources law, which· is a large part of what both the District Court and Court of Appeals handle, and is familiar with the problems of the mining industry, energy, forestry, water, and natural resources and the environment in general. This background would be particularly helpful on the U.S. district bench, especially since there are few if any judges now with that type of life and legal experience. ·-2-

We are absolutely delighted with Ken Starr over here. Keep up the good work.

MEMORANDUM FOR JAMES A. BAKER, III ~ MICHAEL K. DEAVER MICHAEL A. MCMANUS JOHN F.W. ROGERS MARGARET TUTWILER ADMIRAL DANIEL J. MURPHY

FROM: FRED F. FIELDING~ A COUNSEL TO THE PR1rs!DE'Nr

SUBJECT: Payment of Expenses Associated With Political Travel of the President and the Vice President

This will respond to your request for guidance on certain questions related to the payment of expenses associated with political travel of the President and Vice President in 1984.

As you are aware, under Federal election laws, the President is legally a "candidate" for re-election. Hence, any Presiden­ tial trip involving political activity must be examined under applicable Federal election laws prior to a determination regarding payment of expenses associated with that trip. Federal Election Commission ("FEC") regulations require that all "campaign-related" travel of a candidate seeking nomination for election to the office of President must be paid by the candidate's authorized campaign committee. 11 C.F.R. § 9034.7. Moreover, the FEC has stated that any partisan political travel undertaken by a President who is also a candidate for re-election in a Presidential election year (i.e., 1984) is presumed to be "campaign-related." 11 C.F.R.§Tl0.8(e). Thus, as a general rule, FEC regulations regarding allocation of campaign-related travel expenses will apply to any Presiden­ tial travel in 1984 which includes partisan political activi­ ties.

The general method for allocation of official and campaign­ related travel costs is as follows:

1. If any campaign activity (other than "incidental contacts") is conducted at a stop (i.e., city), that stop shall be identified as campaign-related and, in general, all costs associated with it must be paid by the President's campaign committee.

2. For a trip that includes campaign-related and non­ campaign related stops, that portion of the trip allocable to campaign activity must be paid by the campaign committee. -2-

Such portion shall be determined by using the "hypothetical trip formula": calculate what the trip would have cost from the point of origin to the first campaign-related stop and from that stop to each subsequent campaign-related stop, back to the point of origin. ~/

3. If a Government conveyance is used for campaign­ related travel, the campaign committee shall pay the appro­ priate Government entity the first class commercial airfare plus the cost of other services in the case of travel to a city served by regularly scheduled commercial service, and the commercial charter rate plus the cost of other services in the case of travel to a city not served by regularly scheduled commercial service. If Government cars are used for campaign­ related travel, the Government shall be reimbursed the commer­ cial rental cost of such automobiles.

To adequately document these travel allocations the FEC requires a campaign committee (a) to prepare, or otherwise have available, an itinerary for each trip; and (b) if Govern­ ment conveyance is used, to prepare a list of all passengers, along with a designation as to which passengers are, or are not, campaign-related. This documentation must be available to the FEC for inspection and audit. 11 C.F.R. §§ 9034.7(b) (3) and (4). Obviously, these documentation requirements will necessitate close coordination between the White House Office of Administration and the campaign treasurer.

4. A candidate's spouse and family are not considered to be traveling for campaign purposes unless they engage in campaign activity during the trip; if they engage in such activities, their travel expenses must be allocated on the same basis as the candidate's. 11 C.F.R. § 9034.7(b) (6) and 11 C.F.R. § 106.3 (c) (2).

5. Representatives of the media traveling on Government aircraft will always be required to reimburse the Government in the appropriate amount, whether the trip is official, political or mixed. Hence, media traveling on Air Force 1 or 2 should reimburse the Government for their air travel by paying the first class air fare plus the cost of inflight services for any such trips they make. See 11 C.F.R. § 9034.6.

*/ Although it could be argued that strict compliance with the FEC's hypothetical trip rule will result in an augmenta­ tion of appropriations where the President or Vice President conduct both official and political activities at one "stop", i.e., city, we are of the opinion that any such augmentations should be considered de minimis. -3-

Hypothetical Trip Set forth below is an example of the application of the above rules to a hypothetical trip by the President.

Day 1: President departs Andrews Air Force Base (AAFB) enroute to Santa Barbara. Upon arrival at Santa Barbara, the President proceeds to Ranch for private time and the accompanying staff stay in Santa Barbara.

Day 2: Private time in Santa Barbara.

Day 3: 9:00 a.m. -- Depart Santa Barbara enroute Los Angeles. 10:00 a.m. -- Official event with Los Angeles Olympic Committee. 12:00 noon -- Fundraising Luncheon 1:00 p.m. President departs Los Angeles for Texas. 4:00 p.m. President arrives Dallas, Texas. 7:00 p.m. President addresses National Hispanic Assembly (a bipartisan organization). Overnight in Texas.

Day 4: 9:00 a.m. President attends Political Fund- raising Breakfast. 10:30 a.m. -- Depart Texas enroute New York. 3:45 p.m. -- President addresses Women's Business Council. 4:30 p.m. President departs New York enroute AAFB. 5:00 p.m. President arrives AAFB.

A. Allocation of Costs for Air Force I

Reagan-Bush '84 would be billed the costs of a first class airfare ticket plus one dollar for each passenger on Air Force 1 designated as "political" who is traveling from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles to Dallas and back to Washington. (Santa Barbara and New York are not included because those stops were completely "official".)

B. Allocation of Other Costs

All costs solely associated with Santa Barbara and New York would be paid from appropriated funds.

All costs solely associated with Los Angeles and Dallas would be paid from political funds unless there were specific costs -4-

(~_!_g__!.-' WHCA sound system for Olympic Committee or National Hispanic Assembly addresses) incurred because of the official events.

In Los Angeles and Dallas, Reagan-Bush '84 should pay the Government the equivalent rate of a rented large car to compensate for the use of a Government vehicle in transporting the President to political events. If any other Government vehicles are used in such motorcades for reasons unrelated to the security of the President, Reagan-Bush '84 should also pay the Government for the use of such vehicles.

The hotel costs for the overnight in Texas will be paid by Reagan-Bush '84. The hotel costs for staff in Santa Barbara would be official expenses.

Since Government regulations require per diems to be paid on a quarter of a day basis, any "political activity" in a quarter will make that entire per diem quarter attributable to Reagan­ Bush '84. Any time spent in a city where a political event will occur will be allocated as "political activity" for per diem purposes. Additionally, travel time between 2 political stops will be allocated as "political activity" for purposes of per diem allocations. Hence, in the above hypothetical trip, the per diems would begin to be allocated to Reagan-Bush '84 at 10:00 a.m. of Day 3 and continue to be allocated to Reagan-Bush '84 until 10:30 on Day 4 (when the President departed Texas enroute to New York, an entirely official stop) .

WHCA set-up costs shall be billed on the basis of the number and nature of sites where set-ups have occurred; hence, WHCA will continue to bill the appropriate political entity for any costs incurred in a set-up for a political site. Costs for transportation and set-ups for media covering the President will continue to be billed directly to those media entities.

Allocation of Costs for Individuals Not Traveling With the President

A. Surrogates

The FEC "hypothetical trip rule" for allocation of travel costs also applies to individuals traveling on behalf of a candidate when they are not with that candidate. 11 C.F.R. § 9034.7(a).

If Administration officials use Government aircraft for "mixed" travel, the hypothetical trip rule must be applied to their travel schedule to determine the appropriate amount of reimbursement the Reagan-Bush Committee must make to the -5-

Government. The method of allocation of travel costs will be determined by the same formula as discussed on page 2 of this memorandum.

If Administration officials use commercial transportation in campaign-related travel, FEC regulations require the campaign committee to pay for the "actual costs" of such transportation. In some instances, the "actual costs" could be the "Government rate" costs of commercial airfare. This could result in the allegation that official Government authority was being misused to financially benefit the campaign. This discrepancy in actual costs will be avoided if all "surrogate" or politi­ cal advance ticketing is done through the campaign committee. Moreover, in order to avoid any appearance of impropriety, we recommend that the campaign committee be charged for the standard commercial rates for any air travel by surrogates or administration advance staff when they engage in campaign­ related travel, even if the tickets for such travel were purchased at the Government rates. */ Consistent with that policy, when White House staff or other administration offi­ cials travel on official business and then add a "political" stop to such travel, the campaign committee must reimburse the Government for that individual's travel according to the hypothetical trip formula established by FEC regulations and on the basis of standard commercial airfare (rather than Government rates).

B. Advance Staff

White House Office advance staff may do advance work on "mixed" Presidential travel. The costs for their transporta­ tion and lodging should be allocated to the Reagan-Bush Com­ mittee on the hypothical trip formula. For example, in the hypothetical trip detailed on page 3, the travel costs of the advance staff working on the Los Angeles and Texas events would be paid by the Reagan-Bush Committee on the hypothetical trip basis, unless it can be clearly established that certain advance staff worked only on the official events in those cities; in such instances those individuals' travel costs would, of course, be paid from official funds.

If Reagan-Bush advance staff travel by Government transporta­ tion, the Reagan-Bush Committee should reimburse the Government for such transportation, paying the first class commercial airfare plus $1 for each individual so traveling.

*/ Any "supplementation" of Government appropriations created by this policy should be considered de minimis. cc: William Henkel Edward J. Rollins Theresa Elmore Bay Buchanan Jackson Grey Terry Ron Robertson THE WHITE HOUSE

MEMORANDUM FOR EDWIN MEESE III JAMES A. BAKER, III ~ JOHN S. HERRINGTON M. B. OGLESBY MARGARET TUTWILER

FROM: FRED F. FIELDING ~ COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT

SUBJECT: Judicial Appointment Recommendations

Set forth below are recommendations on various judicial candidates. Please advise my office by noon Friday, January 13, if you have any objections to the recommendation on each candidate. Any objections will be discussed in the Judicial Selection Committee meeting scheduled for 3:00 p.m. Friday, January 13.

For your information, the resumes of the candidates recom­ mended for these positions are attached at appropriate tabs.

I. U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

The Justice Departme nt has r e commended that we initiate the background investigations on William D. Browning as the candidate for appointment to the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. Browning was recommended for this position b y Senator Goldwater.

Browning, 5 2 , is the senior partner in the Tucson firm of Slutes, Browning, Zlaket & Sakrison, P.C. He is a former state bar president and while serving in that position was instrumental in establishing the merit selection of judges in Arizona. Browning has substantial trial experience, primarily in the field of insurance defense. He is viewed as a "mod­ erate" on sociai issues and a "conservative" on fiscal and eriminal law issues. Justice states that he "would generally espouse a philosophy of restraint consonant with this Adminis­ tration's views."

Recommendation: That we initiate the background clearances on William D. Browning as the candidate for appointment to the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona. : II. U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI

The Justice Department has recommended that we initiate the background investigations on Tom S. Lee as the candidate for appointment to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. Senator Thad Cochran recommended Lee for this position.

Lee, 42, has engaged in the general practice of law in Forest, Mississippi for 18 years. He served as the Scott County Prosecuting Attorney for four years, and currently serves as an attorney for the Scott County Board of Supervisors and the Scott County School Board. Justice reports that he is regarded as a "bright, scholarly, and able trial attorney with firm convictions." Although he is a Democrat, he is believed to be conservative. Justice reports that everyone contacted agreed that Lee would adhere to a philosophy of judicial restraint.

Republicans in Mississippi were somewhat concerned about the appointment of another Democrat to the Federal bench, but given Cochran's position in 1984, and the fact that Lee is philosophically conservative, Justice reports that no strenuous objections were raised to Lee. The principal drawback to Lee appears to be his lack of Federal trial experience. Justice reports, however, that "given his intellect and industriousness, he is nevertheless qualified to be a Federal judge."

Recommendation: That we initiate the background clearances on Tom S. Lee as the candidate for appointment to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi.

III. U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA

The Justice Department has recommended that we initiate the background clearances on Terrence W. Boyle as the candidate for appointment to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. Senators Helms and East recommended Boyle. (Boyle served as a Legislative Assistant to Senator Helms in 1973.)

Boyle, 38, is a partner in the well regarded law firm of LeRoy, Wells, Shaw, Hornthal & Riley in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. He is reputed to be an "outstanding trial attorney," and a man of "absolute integrity, superior ability and great energy." Boyle has had extensive trial experience with major cases in both state and Federal courts. Justice reports that everyone contacted agreed that "Boyle's outstanding character and legal ability would make a fine addition to the Federal judiciary."

Recommendation: That we initiate the background clearances on Terrence W. Boyle as the candidate for appointment to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. R E S U M E
