Digitized from Box 1 of the White House Special Files Unit Files at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library PRESIDENT MAS SEEN THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON September 22, 1976 MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT FROM DAVE GERGEN DS SUBJECT: Carter's Record as Governor You asked for specific documentation on Carter's Georgia spending record. Agnes Waldron has now obtained materials from the U.S. Census Bureau that I believe you can rely upon with assurance. These figures permit you to say: "During Governor Carter's four years in office, state spending increased over 60% and the number of state employ- ees increased over 25%. " You may also want to mention the increase in Georgia state debt. Carter was required by state law to maintain a budget surplus, and he did record budget surpluses each year. But he also increased the state's bonded indebtedness, so that you could say: "While Governor Carter was in office, the bonded indebtedness of the State of Georgia increased by over 20%." As you know, Carter has attacked you for asking for a tax increase shortly after coming into office and then asking for tax reductions. It is interesting to note that at the outset of his own term as governor, Carter proposed a tax increase and then (after he was largely blocked by his legislature) reversed himself and stressed the savings from his reorgan- ization as a better means of using existing revenues. -2- Another point of interest on his record: the FBI's uniform crime reports show that during three of Carter's four years as governor (1971, 1973 and 1974), the growth in Georgia crime rate exceeded that of the U.S. as a whole in three of the seven "serious crime" categories: murder, forcible rape, and aggravated assault. That might be a point to consider if Carter attacks your crime record. In the event that you may want to read them, we have on hand short papers on the following areas of Carter's Georgia record: -- Consumer Affairs -- Education -- Employment/Unemployment -- Environment -- Racial Discrimination -- Social Programs -- State Reorganization -- Use/Abuse of Power -- Vetoes -- Taxes and Finance Fred Slight, who helped to pull together the materials from the PFC and elsewhere, concluded: "In all honesty, Carter's record is neither as bad as his critics have claimed nor is it as successful as he has taken credit for."
