Charles L. Heatherly (born June 6, 1942) is an American government official who was the acting administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) from 1986 to 1987 following the resignation of James C. Sanders. In 1981, Heatherly helped author and edit the Heritage Foundation publication entitled Mandate for Leadership which offers several policy recommendations intended to decrease the size and scope of the federal government. Subsequent versions of the Mandate have been published since then. Following his stint as the SBA, Heatherly returned to the Heritage Foundation and was the organization's Vice President for Academic Relations. Burton Yale Pines was a graduate of The University of Wisconsin, Madison, (Ph.D. in European History), TIME magazine correspondent in Hamburg, Bonn, Viet Nam and Chicago, editor in World and Nation section, TIME magazine, senior executive at The Heritage Foundation, president of BookNet cable tv channel, author of "Back to Basics,"" Out of Focus" and "America's Greatest Blunder", Freedom's Foundation Award recipient, 3-time recipient of the New York Newspaper Guild's "Page One Award. What made him most proud, Pines always answered: "Being a foot-soldier in the Reagan revolution." Mandate for Leadership is a series of books published by the Heritage Foundation, an American conservative think-tank based in Washington, D.C. They are intended to serve as guidelines for reducing the size and scope of the federal government through specific policy recommendations. The books have traditionally been released to coincide with an incoming U.S. presidential administration, starting with the Reagan administration in 1981. The latest edition was published in April 2023. In 1979, at a trustees' meeting of the Heritage Foundation, it was suggested by Jack Eckerd, former head of the General Services Administration under Gerald Ford, that the Foundation draw up a conservative plan of action for the next presidential administration in January 1981. Robert Krieble proposed that Heritage produce a manual to help policymakers "cut the size of government and manage it more effectively". The overall direction of the Heritage study was undertaken by Charles Heatherly, a former field director of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. In late January 1980, Heatherly produced a five-page outline titled Mandate for Leadership. Heatherly explained that the purpose of the project was to present concrete proposals to "revitalize our economy, strengthen our national security and halt the centralization of power in the federal government". Both the Reagan and Carter campaigns were approached by Heritage to discuss the project. However, they only received a reply from the Reagan-Bush campaign, and in July 1980, Reagan aide Edwin Meese was a surprise guest at a dinner held by Heritage for the project's team chairmen and co-chairmen. There, Meese gave the Heritage study his blessing, which was seen as a sign of the Reagan administration's receptiveness to the project. In 1984, Heritage released Mandate for Leadership II: Continuing the Conservative Revolution. The study featured 1,300 recommendations from 150 contributors, and continued the original Mandate's aim of reforming the federal government and strengthening U.S. defenses. Heritage published its third manual for an incoming administration in 1988, titled Mandate for Leadership III: Policy Strategies for the 1990s. This edition was edited by Charles Heatherly and Burt Pines. Among the contributors to the III volume were Marshall Breger, Donald Devine, Richard Pipes, Leon Aron, Nicholas Everstadt, Fred Ikle, Ray S. Cline, Alan Keyes, and William Schneider, Jr.
