The materials in FOIA 2015-0709-F are a selective, not necessarily all inclusive, body of documents responsive to the topic of the FOIA. Researchers should consult the archivist about related materials. FOIA 2015-0709-F contains materials related to interactions of White House administration officials and staffers with Motorola executives. The Bush Presidential WHORM Alphabetical File contains letters, an entry form, and a brochure. The letters are between President Bush, administration officials, and Motorola executives inviting President and Mrs. Bush to tour the Seguin, Texas plant. Other correspondence directed to President Bush invites him to run a marathon and write letters of congratulations for Motorola employees. There is also a request for Mrs. Bush to record video and audio messages for a Motorola child abuse awareness event. The entry form and brochure support the Motorola Austin Marathon request sent to President Bush. The Bush Presidential WHORM Subject Files contain government forms, letters, notes, and a list. Several types of government forms are present and include White House Correspondence Tracking Worksheets, referrals, and a routing slip. The worksheets and referrals log in correspondence sent to the White House and list subjects of the correspondence, routing information, action taken, and disposition. The routing slip was filled out to track the recommendation for an unsolicited governmental appointment candidate. There are also NSC Profile Sheets, Routing slips, and Action Data Summary Reports which fill the same function as the White House forms. There are also Requests for Scheduling Recommendations which log information about proposed meetings between administration officials and private citizens. Some of the letters are between President Bush, administration officials, and Motorola executives regarding unsolicited recommendations for government appointments, thanks for a sports jacket given to President Bush during a tour, and a request for administration officials to take action on a labeling rule regulated under the Clean Air Act. Other letters are between President Bush, administration officials, and private citizens which related to concerns about the Uruguay Round talks and a response from US Trade Representative Carla Hills and a request for a meeting on economic and trade issues with President Bush prior to his trip to Japan. Additional letters are between First Lady Barbara Bush, administration officials, and a Motorola executive regarding a contribution to the White House Endowment fund. The remaining letters are between President Bush's Chief of Staff Sam Skinner and a private citizen related to competitiveness in foreign trade. The handwritten notes are exchanges between White House staffers discussing the letters of congratulations for Motorola employees and contact information for a thank-you letter. The list contains suggested invitees for a presidential delegation to Singapore, Korea, and Japan. The Bush Presidential Staff and Office Files contain government forms, letters, memos, outlines, a speech, a fax cover sheet, papers, and a list. The government forms are similar to those located in the WHORM Subject Files. The letters detail correspondence between administration officials and Motorola executives about a telecommunications system and an advisory meeting on public and private partnerships. There are several memos between staffers regarding the acquisition and use of cellular telephones as well as President Bush's proposed Motorola plant tour after a nearby speaking engagement. Additional memos contain information about Motorola's goal of launching low earth orbiting satellites to support a personal communication system. The outlines propose schedules for President Bush's tour of Motorola's headquarters and a speech to the employees about keeping American business competitive. The speech is the one President Bush made after touring Motorola's headquarters. The fax cover sheet transmitted information on Motorola from one White House staffer to another. The first paper is a study of Inmarsat's proposal to expand its services to encompass voice communications via a handheld portable telephone or user terminal versus US-based private industries' global system plans. 2015-0709-F 3 This study includes unclassified information sources, a list of Inmarsat members with their signatories and their investment shares, background on the consulting firm which conducted the study, and a resume of the economist who wrote the study.
