Michael K. Deaver, former White House deputy chief of staff, said he had never used his special 20-year relationship with President Reagan to help clients of his consulting business since he left the White House in 1985. Deaver said he also has sent back his White House pass, no longer receives a copy of Reagan’s daily schedule and no longer plays on the White House tennis courts. In an interview with the Washington Post, he also defended his role as a lobbyist for the Canadian government on acid rain after participating in discussions on the issue as a White House official.
