SALLY KELLEY
DIRECTOR OF AGENCY LIAISON
PRESIDENTIAL CORRESPONDENCE
SUBJECT: Handling of Presidential Correspondence
I want to thank all staff members of the Secretariats for the
fine help and cooperation extended to us at. the White House
regarding Presidential mail. Americans who write to President
Reagan deserve a timely, courteous and informative response.
For the most part, this is the standard that is set and met by
all Federal agencies. However, there are some steps that
could improve and streamline the handling of the President's
mail, and I would like to review them with you.
While most agencies are prompt in meeting the 9-workday
turnaround called for by the White House office referral
sheet, the computer overdue reports indicate that some
agencies need improvement. If a delay is required for a
specific reason, such as the need to forward a letter to a
regional office for reply, then it is imperative that you
contact this office for an extension.
The return package required from each agency should contain
the following: (1) a copy of the direct reply or the draft
prepared for White House signature; (2) the original incoming
letter with attachments; (3) the White House Correspondence
Tracking Worksheet. Unacceptable delays are caused when any
of these items are missing.
In addition, the above material should be firmly attached when
forwarded to the White House. Loose pieces can become
separated and lost, causing needless delays. Lastly, we would
appreciate the correspondence being returned flat, for easier
processing and filing. Our address and telephone number is:
