"Your many friends and colleagues agree that yours is a career marked by dedication and achievement.
By promoting a greater understanding and appreciation of astrology, you further the cause of science
and inspire all stargazers to new levels of insight, discovery and exploration. You can take great pride
in your work."
Prior to the letter being mailed the letter was stopped, and Omarr, although perhaps admired by the President, would not be publically congratulated. In a handwritten note found at the Reagan Library, a person by the name of Dan clearly spelled out what would happen next.
"Larry Speakes (per Charley Shepherd) will go along with decision not to do, but says that the lady
who made the request should be phoned. RCS suggests just to say 'message won't be forthcoming'
without getting into any explanations."
As far as the official government record went, that was the end of the Reagan public association with Sydney Omarr. That is until the 1988 astrology story broke and Omarr was interviewed.
Then the true story emerged. Although Omarr's people were told that a public statement would not be forthcoming from the White House praising Omarr for his 25 years with the Los Angeles Syndicate, Omarr was in fact congratulated by none other than Larry Speakes, who had according to the handwritten note from Dan agreed to go along with the plan to reject the Omarr request without explanation. The Associated Press story of May 4, 1988 told the story,
Omarr said that he has never consulted with Reagan, but received congratulations via a phone call from former White House spokesman Larry Speakes when Omarr noted his 25 years with the Los Angeles Time Syndicate.
I guess it goes to show that no secret can be kept forever.
