Gordon C. Wong,
SPECIAL DIPLOMATIC ADVISER TO
THE U.S. PRESIDENT,
SENIOR ADVISER TO THE YEAR OF THE
CHILD,
P.O. Box 1236,
Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada, V6C 2T1,
May, 1988.
U.S. SENATE MINORITY LEADER Robert Dole,
c/o President Ronald
Reagan.
Sir: As the attachments confirm, since i sent you the
January 14, 1988 registered letter #771, i've
been receiving correspondence from other parties in the international community
who would have "concerns" about how Washington and Ottawa ultimately
decide to deal with my "International Diplomatic
Work...on a direct basis."
Given the role you played in the
original 1978 work i prepared and contributed to on behalf of American and
Canadian interests, i decided you should be advised of these developments.
I have not directly submitted to President Reagan copies of (all)
the contents of my registered letter to you.
Given certain opening remarks
by President Reagan prefacing his January 25, 1988 "State of
the Union Address", i assume you did.
If such is not the case, i am
submitting this statement to you to request that you do so.
The affixation here came to my attention on the date of its publication.
I'm
aware of what Larry Speakes' book reveals about President Reagan's
reading "priorities."
There are copies of two other comic strips
included in what may be my final report as SPECIAL DIPLOMATIC ADVISER TO THE
U.S. PRESIDENT for President Reagan.
Almost a decade after i first
contacted him about my work, and more than seven years after i sent him the
April 30, 1981 registered letter #616 (in part on behalf of the Metropolitan
Toronto Police Force*)--i've yet to get the instructions from him i've time
and again requested telling me how he would have me complete the
"International Diplomatic Work...on a direct basis"
to his satisfaction.
As you presumably realize, i telephoned the Carter
White House on January 19, 1981 to see whether President Carter intended
to instruct me to terminate the work on behalf
of American governmental interests. No such instruction was provided, but
instead i was given Jimmy Carter's Russell Building address in Atlanta
to continue communications with him.
The
reason was and remains obvious, sir.
The
American diplomatic hostages in Iran were not released until minutes after Jimmy
Carter left office and Ronald Reagan took office as his successor as
U.S. President.
Given that the prosecutions of the "Irangate"
conspirators are pending, and it's unlikely they won't in their defenses refer
to their "concerns" for the hostages in Lebanon as justification for
their actions--also considering that nine Americans and about twenty innocent
people overall remain hostages in the Middle East...what
President Reagan now does in regard to my SPECIAL DIPLOMATIC
ADVISER TO THE U.S. PRESIDENT authority seems very timely.
In 1985 submissions to you via Senator
Kennedy, i reminded you of certain reasons why the decision was made not
to take credit by name for what came to be known as "Reaganomics". In
view of the underlying relationship between the "fiscal restraint"
programs undertaken by the U.S. Government and British Columbia Government as
were planned in 1978 and the necessary "conditions of peace"
maintained by governments beyond mere reductions in nuclear weapons levels, i
have recently (again) explained the original basis of understanding i had
regarding this relationship.
I trust you see why i'm including this
affixation.
It's not that he reads them "first." It's what else he
reads and does.
As always,
Gordon
C. Wong
