Box 186 FORT WORTH, TEXAS 76101 (817) 731-5250 July 2, 1984 President Ronald Reagan The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: The Texas Rangers of the American League will be playing the Chicago White Sox in Arlington Stadium, just halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth, on August 20, 21 and 22 at 7:30 p.m. Fran and I would very much like to have you and Mrs. Reagan attend a ball game and sit in the owner's box with us. I know how very busy you will be, and how difficult it is for you to move from place to place, but I just wanted you to know you are invited. Your presence at such an event would be a great thing for the whole State of Texas, one that would certainly get lots of good publicity. Our stadium is comparatively small, in an area that is easily protected. We have a parking lot of about 125 acres, which would provide ample space for a helicopter to land. The owner's box can be well protected and could be equipped with bullet-proof glass if necessary. We would, of course, like to have you throw out the first ball, but I am sure that would involve far too much exposure. I feel somewhat apologetic about even inviting you to do this when your time is so valuable, but Fran and I both want you and Mrs. Reagan to know how important you are to us, and we want to do anything possible to help you in your reelection effort. Our very, very best wishes and much love to you both. If there is anything at all we can do to help you during your Dallas visit, please let us know. Sincerely, Eddi H. E. Chiles HEC/ps THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON July 23, 1984 MEMO TO JIM ROSEBUSH FROM: MIKE DEAVER SUBJ: Convention Your request to have your wife fly to Dallas has been denied.

McMANUS, JR. mahem SUBJECT: 1984 Republican National Convention Attached is the list of people from your office which we have agreed will travel to the Convention as part of the White House Group. We will arrange the travel plans for these people and will make their hotel room assignments at the Anatole Hotel. All of those people who do not regularly travel with the President on Air Force One will be departing Washington on Tuesday, August 21st from National Airport on Braniff #55 at 1:25 p.m. This flight also stops at Dulles departing there at 2:00 p.m. and arrives in Dallas at 4:15 p.m. Transportation will be provided from the Dallas Airport to the Anatole. Everyone will be pre-registered and will have information packets in their rooms as with any Presidential trip. Assistants to the President will be provided with cars out of a motor pool. We encourage all others to use the readily avail- able shuttle bus which will operate between the Anatole Hotel and the Convention Center. Information on passes and tickets to the center will be provided later. Each Assistant to the President is also invited to bring his or her spouse. Transportation back from Dallas for those not traveling with the President will be on Friday, August 24th departing Dallas Airport on Braniff #52 at 11:00 a.m., arriving at Dulles at 2:55 p.m.. and then onto National Airport arriving at 3:25 p.m. We would appreciate it if you would check with the other members of your staff and let us know if they are planning to attend the Convention. If they are, the following information regarding their itinerary would be helpful: dates of arrival and departure in Dallas; who is paying for travel and accommodations, 2 where they are staying, and O their responsibility while at the Convention. Please provide this information to Margie Crawford, extension 6687, by close-of-business Thursday, July 12th. This will avoid any White House member arriving in Dallas without accommodations or other travel arrangements. Thank you for your cooperation.

BATES SUBJECT: Convention Program Director of Research It occurs to me we should try to work into the program several Senators who are in some re-election jeopardy. Therefore, I propose: 1. Sen. Percy to introduce the Cabinet members who will be seated in their VIP box. Maybe Monday. 2. Sen. Jepsen to introduce any Olympic winners who may be in a VIP box. Monday. 3. Rep. Gramm to nominate the Vice President on Wednesday. 4. Sen. Cochran to introduce the Vice President for his Acceptance Speech on Thursday. 5. Sen. Helms to introduce the U.S. Marine, wounded in Lebanon, who was dramatically visited in the hospital by General P.X. Kelly. Monday or Tuesday. 6. Sen. Goldwater be programmed for a five- minute speech segment on Monday night. This will surely be added later, so I recommend we do it now. Rather than have a convention meeting, will you check this with all White House parties concerned? Thanks, Mike.

The interview would be conducted by Marlyn Schwartz, and we like the idea of timing the article for the paper of August 22, which would be the morning of the salute to Mrs. Reagan at the convention. We would be able to meet our deadlines with an interview at the White House on Thursday August 16 or Friday August 17, though we would naturally prefer an earlier date. Ms. Schwartz is planning to be in California to cover the August 14th wedding of Patti Davis and would be interested in any possible access to Mrs. Reagan during that period. However, we understand how busy a period that will be for her. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Cal Carl P. Leubsdorf Washington Bureau chief BC .
