Dear Mr. McLean:
Many thanks for your letter.
I have enclosed some information which may help clarify
our position about Mr. Reagan's $90 billion tax cut.
The President, as you know, is working daily to cut
federal spending and strongly believes in letting State

Dear Mr. Calloway,
I must say I think your exploitation of the Reagan
so-called "$90 billion blunder" is making a mountain out
of a mole hill and likely to backfire against the President.
It is much ado about nothing, if éver I saw it.
Anyone in his right mind knows $90 billion spent
anywhere has got to be paid for in taxes or in inflation.
The only question is whether that much should be spent at
all, and if so, who can do it cheaper. Are you trying to
argue that it can be done best by Washington? If so, I am
confused. The President is supposed to be advocating a
reduction of Big Government and a lessening of the Federal
Government's power. If you are trying to sell us on
continued deficit spending, of this magnitude, it is going
to turn a lot of us Republícans off here at the grass roots.
I think the big emphasis ought to be on how much of
the so-called $90 can be cut, and the states are better
equipped to wield the knife, at least the more responsible
ones are. So I am all in favor of transferring the necessary
tax sources back to the states. Block grants just leave
the power in the hands of the Federal Government, and we
conservatives want that stopped! Don't we, Mr. Calloway?
Or do we, Mr. Calloway? I am getting confused on where
you and the President stand on this matter.
tome
I do believe you owe it to explain that we all pay the
90 billion wherever it is spent, and Big Daddy in Washington
doesn't give it away for free.
Sincerely yours,
John K Milean John K. McLean

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE
Monday, January 5, 1976
9:30 a.m.
REMARKS BY SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, GEORGE B. ROBERTS, JR.
January 5, 1976, 9:30 a.m.
Ramada Inn, Concord
During the past several weeks, a number of questions have
been raised concerning Ronald Reagan's proposal to reduce the Federal
budget by 90 billion dollars. According to the former California
governor, this would be realized by shifting the burden of current
FORD
Federal programs to the states, or by eliminating them altogether.
I submit that the time has come for Mr. Reagan to come down
from the lofty peak of rhetoric and tell the people of New Hampshire,
in specific terms, how he would implement his proposal. A campaign
for President of the United States is no place to engage in vague
generalities.
It is difficult for me and many other members of the
Legislature to see how New Hampshire could possibly maintain the same
level of services as it is now providing, if the Regan proposal were
put into effect.
Although Mr. Reagan has not spelled out his proposal in any
detail, it would seem that it would cost the people of New Hampshire
tens of millions of dollars just to maintain the existing mandated
programs at their present level. Any such shift from the Federal
government to our state, would have drastic ramifications on existing
health, welfare, education, transportation, law enforcement, revenue
sharing and other programs.
The current New Hampshire operating budget of 415.1 million
dollars is being funded by liquor sales, taxes on cigarettes, busine
profits, rooms and meals, gambling, and a number of other special
taxes and fees. To meet the increased revenue need suggested by
(MORE)
ROBERTS REMARKS
PAGE TWO
Mr. Reagan's proposal, it is quite evident that another approach to
state funding would be needed. It is further apparent that Mr. Reagan's
proposal would leave us with three alternatives:
one -- to eliminate many necessary programs;
two -- to add to the local property tax burden;
or three - - to institute a state sales tax, a
state income tax, or both.
Conservatives throughout our state should find it paradoxical
that several of Mr. Reagan's most vocal supporters are the same people
who vehemently oppose the results that his program would lead to.
I feel it safe to say that, based on recent votes of the
Legislature, the people of New Hampshire are opposed to the alterna-
tives that would result from Mr. Reagan's proposal.
I sincerely hope that Mr. Reagan will take advantage of his
planned 15 days of campaigning in New Hampshire to answer the many
questions that the people of our state have on just exactly how his
proposals would effect New Hampshire's revenues and tax structure.
I suggest that his so-called "Citizens' News Conferences" would provide
excellent forums to answer these questions.
I would further suggest that Mr. Reagan provide the New
Hampshire Legislature with a detailed copy of his 90 billion dollar
plan, if such a plan really exists.
Senate President Jacobson has suggested that Mr. Reagan meet
with the Senate Finance Committee to discuss the ramifications of his
proposal. I concur with the suggestion, and I would ask that a copy
of that proposal be sent to the Joint House and Senate Fiscal Committee
the committee charged with monitoring the rate of state expenditures
and Federal funding.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen. Senator Jacobson and I
welcome your questions.
Reagan's $90 Billion
Misunderstanding
By Richard T. Stout
FEW AMERICANS noticed when
Ronald Reagan, in a Chicago speech
last September, proposed to cut the
"Gordian knot" of monster gover-
nment in Washington by reducing
federal spending by $90 billion in this
fiscal year. Only recently has the
proposal begun to attract attention. as
Reagan's crities have attacked it and
his aides and supporters have started
to wonder whether it could become as
big an albatross for his presidential
candidacy as George McGovern's
$1,000-per-person income
redistribution plan in 1972.
To date there has been no detailed
public examination of the specifies in
Reagan's plan. Aides at the Citizens
for Reagan Committee simply put
together a two-page background sheet
of figures to show just where he would
pare the budget. But a close look at
these figures found enough errors,
miscalculations and curious
assumptions to cause Reagan aides.
when confronted with them, to issue a
revised set of figures.
For example, aides inadvertently
cut $1 billion for the U.S. Coast Guard
and later had to restore it. They
bobbled another billion by misreading
budget figures on revenue sharing.
Moreover. it appears that the $25-
billion tax cut and $5-billion debt
reduction Reagan says would be

are impossible the way the 76 budget
finally turned out. In fact. budget and
tax cuts of the Reagan magnitude
would result in a deficit-far lower
than Americans are now accustomed
to, but still a deficit.

1976 State of the Union: A Summary
In his State of the Union address Monday night, President
Ford set forth his blueprint for America's future -- a blueprint
that seeks to establish "a new balance" in our national life
and to solve the Nation's problems with hardheaded common sense.
Substantial Progress Already Made
The President pointed out that under his approach,
substantial progress was made in 1975:
-- inflation was cut nearly in half -- down to about 7%.
-- the economy was brought out of recession and is now
enjoying a healthy recovery.
-- two thirds of the jobs lost in the recession have
been restored.
-- to those critics who were asking whether we had lost
our nerve, the U.S. has shown that it remains a strong and
reliable partner in the search for peace.
-- and through the President's efforts, much of the
public's faith in the integrity of the White House has been
restored.
Programs to Build Upon Past Progress
The President is now seeking to build upon the foundations
laid in 1975. Specifically:
1. In the Economy
A. Curbing Inflation
-- The centerpiece of the President's economic policies
to fight inflation and create jobs is his attempt to cut
Federal spending and to cut Federal taxes.
-- The President's budget sets a limit of $394.2 billion
spending in fiscal year 1977 -- a substantial reduction under
earlier projected spending for that year.
-- In the last two years, Federal spending has increased
by a total of 40%. The Ford budget would limit the 1977
spending increases to 5.5% -- the smallest single increase
since President Eisenhower was in office.
--- The President devoted more personal time to the
preparation of the budget than any President in a quarter of
a century; as a result, he was able to pare spending without
cutting deeply into any programs essential for the health or
safety of the Nation.
--- To accompany the spending cut, the President is
calling for a permanent tax cut of $28 billion -- $10 billion
more than what Congress has allowed.

B. Creating New Jobs - The President is seeking to
create new jobs not through vast new public works programs ---
programs that have been tried and failed -- but by creating
conditions in the private sector that will stimulate economic
growth. The tax cut/spending cut is a major part of this
effort. In addition, he proposed in the State of the Union:
--- Accelerated depreciation for businesses constructing
new plants, purchasing equipment, or expanding their plants
in areas of 7% unemployment.
--- Broadened stock ownership so that moderate income
Americans will be given tax deductions for investing in
American owned companies.
--- Changes in tax laws that will prevent family farms
and small businesses from being wiped out by estate taxes.
--- The President will ask for additional housing
assistance for 500,000 families.
C. Regulatory Reform --- The President has asked that
the regulatory burden be lightened in four industries --
banking, airlines, trucking and railroads -- so that competi-
tion can be fostered and consumer prices reduced. Other
areas are still under study.
2. In Energy -- Last year's comprehensive energy bill was
flawed but it does provide a base upon which to build. The
President is asking for swift Congressional action that
would deregulate the price of new natural gas, open up
Federal reserves, stimulate greater conservation, develop
synthetic fuels from coal, create the EIA, and accelerate
technological advances.
3.
In Health -- The President proposed catastrophic health
insurance for all persons covered by Medicare (the elderly
and disabled), so that none of them would be required to pay
more than $500 a year for covered hospital bills or more than
$250 a year for covered doctor's bills. Slightly higher
costs would be imposed upon Medicare beneficiaries to pay
for the insurance.
-- Veterans were assured of high quality medical care.
-- The President spoke of the eventual need for national
health insurance plan but not one dictated by Washington; the
private sector must be the basis of it.
4. In Social Security -- The President called for a full
cost of living increase for the elderly receiving Social
Security. At the same time, he urged we face reality: the
Social Security Trust Fund is running out of money. To
preserve the fund and thus to protect future beneficiaries,
the President asked for a small increase in Social Security
taxes, effective January 1, 1977. The additional cost would
come to no more than $1 a week for any employee.
more
3
5. In Welfare -- The President said that current programs
had to be overhauled, but that they shouldn't be dumped in
the laps of State and local governments nor should we make
massive changes in midst of recovery. Some reforms can be
made now, the most prominent -- food stamp reform. The
President called for limiting food stamps to those in true
poverty.
6. In Crime -- Law enforcement remains primarily a local
and State responsibility, but Washington can and must help.
The President is proposing: mandatory sentencing laws, more
Federal prosecutors, more Federal judges, and more Federal
prisons so that judges will be willing to send more criminals
to jail. The President also promised a further crackdown on
drug pushers.
7. In Federal Program Consolidation - The President
proposed that some 59 Federal programs be collapsed into
4 block grants -- health, education, child nutrition and
community services. The biggest block grant would be a
$10 billion health grant for medicaid and other purposes;
money would be distributed on basis of which state has most
low income families. Purpose of the consolidation would be
to wipe out red tape, give those closest to the problems
greater flexibility to solve them. They would be similar
to revenue sharing, a program for which the President urged
re-enactment.
8. In Defense and Foreign Policy -- The President called
for a significant increase in defense spending to ensure
that the U.S. never becomes second strongest power.
--- He pointed to numerous successes in foreign policy
of keeping the country at peace, progress in Middle East,
strengthening of relationships with Europe and Japan,
progress on arms limitations.
-- But he warned against further internal attacks on
foreign policy community, especially the CIA, and against
further Congressional efforts to tie the hands of the President.
--- He promised action to strengthen the intelligence
establishment.

Dear Mike:
Thanks so much for your letter. You were nice to take
the time to write.
Actually, the only thing that I asked in my remarks in
Houston was that Reagan' S record be carefully looked at.
The President has his record and his personal life examined
by reporters in 50 states daily. Mr. Reagan has asked that
his record be examined but no one was doing it. I believe
they will now and I think it is appropriate for all candidates
for President to have their public records exposed. I have
not, and I will not, in any way discuss personalities.
Thanks also for sending me your letter to the Editor of
the L. A. Times. I find it most interesting.
Best wishes for the New Year.

Dear Mr. Westfall:
Thank you for your letter of December 17. It was nice
of you to take the time to write.
I'm sorry that you feel that my comments concerning
Governor Reagan's record were vindictive, counter-
productive and unwarranted.
The only point that I was trying to make was that
President Ford is having his record attacked daily by
reporters and by Reagan's campaign team. This is
appropriate. His record is available to the public
and should be.
On the other hand, no one has looked at Mr. Reagan's
record in a similar manner. I feel that Mr. Reagan's
record should be subject to examination and he has
publicly said the same.
If you have any other suggestions or ideas, please let
me know. I appreciate your support of President Ford
and I am sure the President appreciates it also.

Dear Mr. Callaway,
I feel compelled to write this letter after hearing your
comments on Ronald Reagan at the Southern Governors Conference.
It appears to me that your comments were vindictive,
counterproductive, and unwarranted.
I have been a Republican all of my life. I am a loyal
campaign worker and financial supporter of the Party and
its candidates. (1975 CAMPAIGNER MEMBERSHIP NUMBER 24216043)
I have also been an ardent and vociferous supporter of
President Ford since he first took office. However,
your vitriolic attack on Mr. Reagan has driven me from the
ranks of the unqualified supporters of President Ford.
As a Californian, I closely scrutinized the eight year
record of Governor Reagan. I can happily say that the
record consistantly shows honesty, integrity, hard work
and fiscal responsibility. To demean this record with
the frivolous comment that "taxes were doubled" shows a
total lack of knowledge in relation to the problems of
California. Mr. Reagan took a financially starving state
and made it solvent; and a state overcome with bureau-
cratic entanglements and made it efficient.

I am still hoping for a Ford victory in the primaries,

condone a candidate who allows his campaign manager to

This policy of yours has angered me and many loyal

one of the great advantages President Ford has, is his
image of a "nice guy" and a "likeable" person. You are
destroying this image by these vengeful tactics.

I am apparantly not alone in my feelings on this matter.
Mr. Callaway, I can promise you my support for President
Ford because I believe in his integrity and his viability

Dear Mr. McKeever:
Thank you for your letter of August 15th. I have read with
a great deal of interest, the enclosure from the Citizens
for Reagan. It would appear from this, that an active and
enthusiastic group of Oklahoma people are working for the
Reagan cause.
It was nice of you to take time to forward this to me. It
could be most useful in our campaign in your state.
Again many thanks.

Dear Mr. Callaway:
I appreciate your letter of July 28, 1975. I am enclosing
herewith a copy of a clipping from the Oklahoma City paper, The
Daily Oklahoman, of August 5, 1975, together with a copy of a
letter signed by Clarence E. Warner, our former State Chairman.
This gives you some indication of what the Reagan people are
doing in Oklahoma on this early date.
I am also informed there is a movement on to establish what
is called a conservative caucus in each congressional district
in Oklahoma, the real purpose of which is to start lining up
delegates for Reagan.
Ronald Reagan has a lot of support in Oklahoma and some
organization should be set up for the President at the earliest
possible date.
Yours truly
Douglas McKeever

Dear Friend:
We need your financial support NOW!!
The "Citizens for Reagan" organization was formed last week in Washington, D.C.,
with the knowledge and consent of Ronald Reagan. This is an exciting announce-
ment for all conservatives in America
and recent polls show this includes
60% of the American people.
We are now forming the Oklahoma "Citizens for Reagan". To do this
we need your personal, moral and financial support. Our goal is a
full-time operation in Oklahoma, with every County organized, by
the first of November.
This goal must be achieved if we are to win the delegate votes over the estab-
lished power of the Presidency with vast campaign funds available. Ours must
be a grass roots organization with you, and other dedicated Oklahomans like you,
giving your money, your time and your energy.
Ours is not an easy task. However, neither was the work of our Founding Fathers
200 years ago. It is a responsibility we must perform successfully if we are to
pass on to future generations the great nation we inherited from our forefathers.
We are opposed by the powerful forces which have brought us the Welfare way of
life, the largest Federal budget deficits ever proposed or enacted, total amnesty
for draft dodgers and deserters, a weak foreign policy, our first defeat in war
the list goes on and on. What might we see next? Giving away the Panama
Canal? Clothing Stamps with abuses as wild as in the Food Stamp Program? Gun
registration, possibly confiscation? Ever increasing Federal deficits? These
programs are all proposed!! WHERE WILL IT END???
It will end when America has that for which she has long cried
LEADERSHIP.
Ronald Reagan can provide this LEADERSHIP and, with your help now, Ronald
Reagan will provide this LEADERSHIP. Please fill out the enclosed card today
and return it in the envelope provided. Your personal and financial help is
greatly needed right now during the embryonic stage of the campaign.
SEND YOUR MONEY TODAY
YOUR TOMORROW DEPENDS ON IT!!

Dear Georg:
Thank you so much for your note of May 30 and the
copy of the interesting letter from John Wayne,
Enclosed is a copy of a memo on Reagan I sent to
some of my executives today and a copy of an editorial on the
so-called New England regional primary.
As of now, I think that Ted Kennedy will be the nominee
of the Democrats, unless George Wallace can get enough steam up.
I just wonder whether Ford won't get rid of Rockefeller and pick
up Reagan, which would be a smart move politically.
Thank you for writing. Best wishes.
Very sincerely,

From:
Mr. Loeb
Last Friday evening, because Buck Dumaine insisted on our
coming, Mrs. Loeb and I attended a dinner near Waltham for Ronald
Reagan put on by the Middlesex Republican Club,
This was the usual group of well-heeled suburbanites for
whom Reagan is the political hero, and Reagan, of course, fitted well
into this-background and told them what they wanted to hear.
First of all, I don't think he did it in terms that the
average citizen would understand, and secondly, I got the distinct
impression from him that he had no intention of running for an inde-
pendent party unless absolutely forced to.
It is a small thing on which to comment, but it happened
to be that we were trying to park our car at the time the car bearing
Reagan drove up in front of the side entrance and Reagan got out and
went in ahead. Well, I had never noticed him walk before, but
while he walks lightly he is almost hunch-backed; his shoulders are
hunched forward and his carriage is very poor. I don't see any chest
expansion there, and I don't see how you can really fight if you don't
have any chest expansion. It is a small thing, but he doesn't give
the impression of a fighter's stance.
Governor Thomson said he spent an hour with him that after-
noon and his feeling was the same as mine, that Reagan had no intention
of running as an independent. The Governor even had the nasty thought
that Reagan may be putting on all this show in order to be drafted
as the candidate for vice-president on the Republican ticket with Ford.
Ford could do away with Rockefeller saying, "I am bowing to the
desires of the conservatives and I have picked their hero as my running-
mate."
And, you know, that would be pretty clever from Ford's
-2-
standpoint because a great many Reagan people would follow right
along and vote Republican.
It is interesting that both the Governor and I had the
same distinct impression, that our nice friend was not about to get
in the ring for the main event.

Washington-Sen. Paul Laxalt (R. Nev.) today announced formation
of a "Citizens for Reagan" Committee. Laxalt said the committee expects
to convince former California Gov. Ronald Reagan to seek the Republican
nomination for President and to make it possible for him to mount
an effective campaign.
Sen. Laxalt is the former governor of Nevada. Other members of his
committee are John P. Sears, a Washington attorney who will serve as
executive vice chairman; former Gov. Louis B. Nunn of Kentucky; former
California National Committeewoman, Mrs. Stanhope C. Ring; retired
Rep. H. R. Gross of Iowa; and Nebraska insurance executive George Cook.
Sears, who was responsible for putting together Richard Nixon's
group of delegates in his successful 1968 quest for the GOP Presidential
nomination, will be the operating head of the committee.
In announcing formation of the committee Sen. Laxalt released
the following statement:
TATEMENT BY SENATOR PAUL LAXALT
WASHINGTON, D. C.
JULY 15, 1975
We have called this press conference today to announce the formation of
a "Citizens For Reagan" Committee.
The purpose of this Committee is to build an organization and raise the
money necessary to conduct a viable and effective campaign once Governor Reagan
decides to become an active candidate.
The decision to take this step has not been an easy one. Mr. Ford came
to the Presidency under circumstances unique in American history, amidst
problems of confidence, international unrest and domestic instability which
are unparalleled. All of us, Democrats and Republicans alike, must give his
our support lest others in the world receive the impression that America is
too weak or immobile to act.
Yet, Mr. Ford's efforts to cope with these problems on a day-to-day basis
provide little relief for the vast majority of Americans who yearn for a leader
who can communicate a realistic perspective on America's future.
The process by which the American people have become frustrated and un-
trusting of their political leaders hase been huilt up over the many years in
which there has been far too much promising and far too little performance
after election.
We have had far too many instances in our political history where the
voters have been left with a choice of deciding between the "lesser of two
evils." This country cannot ultimately survive if Presidential elections
continue to be decided on the same basis.
Moreover, as Republicans, we cannot meet our responsibility to the country
by anticipating a Presidential race which would merely take advantage of the
presumed weakness in the Democratic Party. We owe a positive obligation to the
American people to demonstrate that we have thoroughly searched our ranks, con-
sidered all the alternatives and nominated our most effective leader. We must
convince the people that we will not only try, but also will actually do those
things which we agree must be done.
That can only be achieved, in my opinion, by the candidates submitting
themselves to the people in the primary process.
The next President must enter office armed with a positive compact between
himself and the American people, such that Congress will realize that there is
no longer any merit in political expediency. We believe that Governor Reagan
is a man who stands tall among American politicans in his demonstrated ability
to do those things which he promises.

Sir:
The art of politics being what it is, it is quite understandable that persons
running for political office and their campaign managers alike may sometimes
engage in attempts to downgrade their adversaries.
Your conduct, however, in the case of your remarks about Candidate Ronald
Reagan amount to something else. They reflect the rantings of a frustrated,
terrified person who is grabbing at any wild statement that will serve its
derogatory purpose. You should acquaint yourself with the facts and to cease
making wild statements which have no basis in fact concerning the conduct
by Governor Reagan in his official capacity here in California, and the
acoomplishments of his governorship during eight years of his administration.
If you or your advisors would review the facts, instead of inventing fictions,
there are many people, including myself, who will be glad to acquaint you with
the facts concerning the results of the Reagan administration from January,
1967 through December, 1974.

Gentlemen:-
I have been advised by the Republican National Committee that if I have
any comments to offer on President Ford's election in 1976, that they be referred
to you.
First, I strongly suggest that Mr. Callaway be fired, for his cheap attack
on Ronald Reagan. It sure is below the standards of a campaign chairman to make such
remarks against a man who was a highly respected Governor of California. Sure, he made
mistakes, but who dont, when trying to do a good job.
I feel that Ford is trying hard to do a good job but his continual method
OS compromise with the Congress is not doing him any good. Ronald Reagan was not taken
in too much with the Legislature he had to deal with. He went in when the State was on
the verge of bankruptcy, and he could not print money to bail it out. When he left, the
State was in a good financial position and you cant take that away from him.
I, like millions of Americans, would like to see tuff competition for the
nomination, but it should be kept above the belt. Callaway has started out by hitting
below the kness and this has sure not helped Ford.
I dont think that a Democratic opponent has a chance in 1976 if both of
these candidates run a sane campaign. Polls or no polls, they are not getting to the
roots of the voters. We are still scared of a McGovern or a likewise candidate. We are
sick and tired of a spend-thrift Congress, and this showed up in Australia, New Zealand,
and British Columbia. Maybe the time is due for this in Britain.
Respectfully yours,
