SUBJECT:
Reagan's "Carrying Charge"
Contention
Reagan, as you know, is fond of using the hypothetical example
that taxpayers of a state send to Washington $115 million and
receive in return only $100 million -- the $15 million balance
being the "carrying charge" absorbed by the Federal bureaucarcy.
This statement does not appear to be based on fact in terms of
aggregate amounts or percentage figures nor is it consistent
with a basic element of our federal system -- that monies collec-
ted from individuals in the more affluent states may be used to
assist persons in the less affluent states. Nor does Reagan's
statement take into account monies spent by the DOD, State
Department, Supreme Court, etc., which indirectly benefit the
citizens of a state.
New Hampshire is certainly not in the "more affluent" category
and this is borne out by the below statistics on tax monies
collected from individuals and corporations compared to actual
Federal outlays in the state. As you will note, New Hampshire
citizens actually received $461,426,000 more than they sent to
Washington for FY '75.

ERA Q: Governor Reagan, what are you going to do for Women?
REAGAN: Well, I'm going to continue to support Nancy to the best of
my ability -- I believe I think I understand the point of your
question. You know Will Rogers once said, and I have to do
this, I have to quote him, Will Rogers once said that women
were going to try to become more and more equal to men until
pretty soon, they weren't going to know any more than the men
do. And, I believe that if there are any injustices, if there
are still any inequities with regard to difference in treatment
of men and women, they should be corrected by statute. I think
that they have a place in government, I think they can make a
great contribution to government.

Formal Announcement:
REAGAN: A STRONG CHALLENGE FROM THE RIGHT
Conservatives have been chafing for a long time for a
genuine electoral duel between their limited-government
philosophy and the big-government reflexes of the liberals.
If the well-laid plans of former California Gov. Ronald
Reagan do not go awry, 1976 may be the year. He will make
his official announcement for the Republican nomination
Nov. 20.
Other years seemed more propitious, yet they disap-
pointed the conservatives. A true choice between
governmental theories was expected in 1964, but the
assassination of President Kennedy placed Arizona Sen.
Barry Goldwater in an impossible electoral situation. The
1972 Nixon victory still is claimed by some as a clear conser-
vative mandate, but to most minds an inept McGovern can-
didacy and Watergate nullified the claim. In 1976, with a
lifelong Republican Party loyalist in the White House, the
time should seem wholly unripe for a challenge to that in-
cumbency from the right-a challenge that is the necessary
prelude to the ideological shootout conservatives desire.
By Reagan's reckoning, however, the time is in fact
quite ripe. As one of his chief backers, Sen. Paul Laxalt
(R Nev.), put it in an interview with Congressional
Quarterly, "Much of the Ford support is soft, lukewarm. He
was unelected. He was blessed by the Congress, because he
got along with it, and Congress is not in great shape as an
institution. He is identified with Congress and with
Washington, after 25 years here. He is perceived by conser-
vatives as having a tendency to compromise, not to act on
principles."

COMMON CAUSE CHAIRMAN URGES REAGAN
TO MAKE PUBLIC HIS PERSONAL FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Common Cause Chairman John Gardner, today in Miami,
Florida, called on former Governor Ronald Reagan. to make a
FORD & GERALD LIBRARY
public disclosure of his personal financial status. Gardner
issued the following statement:
"To restore public confidence in the integrity of our
public officials, candidates as well as officials should make
public disclosure of their personal finances.
In the past 3 years, 30 states have enacted or strengthened
the laws requiring public financial disclosure by officials. In
Florida, Common Cause is presently working closely with Governor
Ruben Askew to create a new public disclosure law for this state.
At the federal level, strong support exists in both houses
of Congress and the Executive Branch. Such legislation has re-
added as a result of the shocking stories involving
the business dealings of Rep. Robert Sikes of Florida.
A list of 9 standards of conduct for presidential candidates,
-2-
which was proposed by Common Cause on November 4, 1975, included
public financial disclosure by each candidate.
In our view, all but one of the Republican and Democratic
candidates have made serious efforts to make such information
available to the public. President Ford has updated his personal
financial disclosure by providing comprehensive financial information
as of December 31, 1975.
Governor Reagan is the one major candidate on whom we are 5.
still awaiting word. We are told that Reagan has said he would
soon release 'total income' and total tax' figures (or average
figures) for his last 5 years in public office. I trust he recognizes
that standards for financial disclosure that are now widely accepted
call for full disclosure of the nature of his assets and the sources
of his income -- by year.
A Reagan aide has said that Governor Reagan will not disclose
financial information for 1975 'because he was a private citizen that
year'. That completely misses the point of disclosure. If he
becomes our president, and that is his intention, he will preside
over vast expenditures of our hard earned tax dollars. We want
to know the nature of his own financial involvement. It is not
unreasonable. President Ford has set the standard. We have a right
to expect that he will match President Ford in the fullness of
disclosure by the date of the New Hampshire primary (February 24) "

Dear Mr. Watts:
I have been wanting to do something to help President Ford in the
primaries in a few major states , such as Florida, Illinois, and
California.
In response to that desire, I put together the attached letter
and supporting newspaper articles. It was my thought that they
could be sent to the managing editors of the major newspapers
supporting the president in those states for using whatever items
they might desire. Or the letter could be revised some with the
exhibits omitted and sent to the same newspapers for inclusion in
their section on "Letters From The People". Even thought of
sending it to a few of the leading syndicated columnists.
Had intended to send this letter and articles to President Ford's
chairman in Florida for his comments and the names of major
supporting newspapers. In calling Nita Ashcraft for his name, she
suggested I send them to you.
There may be other or better ways to use this material, or maybe
it shouldn't be used at all. I just felt so strongly from personal
experience and observation that the voting public in other states
should know some of the things related in the letter and articles
that I assembled them , hopefully, for appropriate use somewhere.
Sincerely,
Gordon O. Finley

February 28, 1976
Dear Mr.
As a life long Republican, a conservative native of Illinois, and
head of California's Industrial Development activities during the
first four and two-thirds years of Governor Reagan's Administration,
I would like to pass along the following information your readers
should know about some of his performances as Governor before they
vote in your March 9 primary election:
1. In his campaign for Governor, he pledged to appoint the best
qualified persons, regardless of party affiliation. Many of
his appointments would not meet this criteria -several
being young men in their early and mid 30's who had
insufficient experience for the responsible jobs they held
(See Exhibit A attached. Have several other articles covering
his appointments as supporting examples).
2. Appointed 5 different directors of our Department of
Employment (13,000 employees) during his 8 years in office.
This Department underwent two names changes and three
reorganizations during that time and finally returned to the
Department's primary function of matching available jobs with
unemployed workers seeking jobs that existed when Reagan
became Governor (See Exhibit B).
3. The Department of Consumer Affairs had 4 different Directors
in 3 years, some with limited or no experience for the
functions of that Department, the last being Governor Reagan's
34 year old scheduling secretary (See Exhibit c).
4. Appointed Ed Reinecke, an obscure California Congressman, to
be Lt. Governor when Lt. Governor Robert Finch resigned to
join the Nixon Administration in Washington. Reinecke later
became involved in the International Telephone & Telegraph
Corporation proposed $400,000 offer to help finance the
Republicar National Convention in San Diego and was forced to
resign Exhibits D and E).
5. Without legislative authority, transferred the Department of
Commerce from under the jurisdiction of the Agriculture &
Services Agency to Lt. Governor Reinecke (Exhibit F). He then
dismissed Department Director, an experienced business official
from Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, and appointed his
young Assistant for Intergovernmental Affairs who had little
experience for directing such a business related department
(Exhibit G and H).
BERAID BERALD FORD LIBRARA
- V -
6. Appointed his young Executive Secretary to a Superior Court
judgeship over the recommendations of a local committee
(Exhibit I), then a few years later appointed him to the
California Supreme Court over the objections of the legal
profession Exhibit J). Later , also tried to appoint one
of his appointed Public Utilities Commissioners to the
Appellate Court, but was forced to withdraw the nomination
because of strong opposition from the California State Bar.
(Exhibit K).
7. In a welfare aid dispute, Governor Reagan made an intemperate
and unjustified attack on the courts, including the
California Supreme Court (Exhibit L).
8. Used $161,000 of state funds of other departments to finance
a task force to promote his tax initiative proposal (Exhibit M).
9. Mayor Peter Wilson of San Diego, and a former Republican
legislator during part of Reagan's term as Governor, said
If in his association with Reagan he found him a man of great
charm, but his rhetoric is not matched by performance".
(Exhibit N).
10. Leonard Firestone, of the Firestone Rubber Company family, and
one of Reagan's financial backers in both his campaigns for
Governor, stated " I would say he was a good governor, but I
don't think he is qualified to be President" Exhibit 0).
11. State expenditures during Governor Reagan's 8 years in office,
after allowance for inflation, increased $2,631,221,306 (52.5%),
while number of civil service employees (excludes exempt
employees) increased 12,000 (10.5%). (Exhibit P).
12. Although a millionaire and earning a salary of $44,100 as
Governor, he did not pay any state income tax for 1970 .
While there was no question of wrong-doing, public resentment
arose from (1) tax laws that permit some people to avoid what
appears to be a just payment, and (2) Reagan's remarks in 1967
that "Certainly, no one should avoid their fair share of taxes"
and to the legislature in 1969 that "The burden of taxation
should fall equally on all taxpayers in proportion to their
income" (Exhibits Q and R).
There is an old saying n you can't tell what's in a book by its
cover". My purpose in submitting this information at my own
initiative and expense is, hopefully, to enable some of your
readers and voters to see underneath the charming and persuasive
surface of Ronald Reagan's public presentations.
Sincerely,
Gordon O. Finley

EXPLANATION OF ANALYSIS
The attached analysis of programs definitely or probably affected by
Ronald Reagan's proposed $90 billion budget reduction plan utilized
actual Federal outlays for the state for Federal fiscal year 1975.
Several additional observations also are warranted:
a. Reagan's proposal has been "floated" but not released,
consequently the specifics which are necessary for a
thorough and accurate analysis are non-existent.
b. Our understanding of the proposal's elements is based
on news articles such as those authored by Stout, Ottenad,
and Buchanan.
C. Actual Federal outlays to the states for FY '76 will not
be available for almost another 12 months, therefore
Reagan's plan has been evaluated on the basis of its ap-
parent impact on the FY '75 disbursements.
Using the conclusions of the aforementioned writers, programs which
would appear to have been affected by the Reagan proposal would have
totalled $ 1,856,471,000 This total amount might be broken down
into the following two categories:
1. Programs terminated or drastically altered: $ 529,233,000
2. Programs probably affected in whole or in part: $1,327,238,000
Those programs that would appear to be directly impacted on (item #1
immediately above) are indicated with an asterisk (*).
