RE:
Formats for State Days and Foreign Visits
In evaluating 1995's social calendar, while keeping in mind the importance of maximizing the
President's time and to ensure he is able to see the maximum number of constituent groups
and supporters necessary, I propose that we consider the following format for the upcoming
state days and foreign visits.
I.
State Days Receptions (500 guests)
We should invite approximately 250 key supporters per each targeted state to an afternoon
briefing and then that evening they would be invited with their spouse/guest to a reception.
During each reception the guests would go downstairs for a receiving/photo line with the
President and the First Lady and then move back upstairs for the President to make remarks
to the group.
II.
Smaller State Day Events (50-60 guests)
The State Day receptions are to take care of the "masses of supporters" but in order for the
President to spend the time with the key leadership, the opinion makers, business people, etc.
of key states we should look at a few formats for smaller events for these groups to attend
separate from the "masses".
We need to target this key leadership within key states to attend small dinners, dinner/movie
evenings and listening events (i.e. Michigan's Hermlin group reception that was upstairs in the
residence).
We should propose to target 10 key states to do these smaller formats with over the course of
the next 6 months.
III.
Foreign Visits
In order to maximize the number of people that can participate in each Foreign Visit we are
proposing that each visit consist of the following:
First Day:
South Lawn Arrival = 3,000 - 4,000 guests
State Dinner = 130 guests
Second Day:
Vice Presidents Luncheon = 250 guests
Presidential Issues Briefing = 200 guests
followed by a Constituents Reception* (i.e. State Day Reception) = 400 guests
*(i.e. German-American business people, etc.)
Please let me know your thoughts on these suggestions.
Thank you.

USING BRIEFINGS FOR CONSTITUENT OUTREACH
Three models have been successfully developed and recently tested
which can be used for constitutent briefings:
1. White House
These are directed by Public Liaison and held for groups
attending social events. (i.e. Holiday '94 briefings).
Purpose: Share what is going on in the Administration and hear
their concerns.
Time Required: 1-4 hours
POTUS Involvement: not required
Action Items:
For Attendees: People are asked to get involved in their
state or community structures and start networking. It is
suggested that they write letters; start phone trees; call into
radio shows; talk to their neighbors; be informed
For White House: We commit to keeping them updated on state
accomplishments; to share their names with other White House
staffs; to let them know, when possible, of in-state visits by
the President.
Props: White House folders with current state and national
accomplishments lists, recent speeches or position papers, letter
from POTUS, pictures and White House Book.
2. In-State Political
Marsha Scott conducts small meetings (10-30) for key supporters
and travelling White House staff. (i.e. what Harold, Bruce and
Marsha did before the '94 elections)
Purpose: Find out what is going on in state politically and
share information with our supporters about Administration
political activities.
POTUS Involvement: Optional
Time Required: 1 hour
Action Item:
For Attendees: Start collecting lists and begin re-
networking; identify key finance and political leaders in each
district; keep us informed about political activity occurring in
the state
For Us: To keep them informed about our political ideas and
activities; to inform them about in-state travel by POTUS and
Administration officials; to include them in White House social
and substantive activities; to get information to them on a
regular basis
Props: White House folders as in above Model 1; Presidential
trinket; phone and fax numbers of White House key contacts
3. In-State Overview Briefings
Marsha Scott moderates a panel of 2-6 Administration officials,
using spokespeople from that state when possible. The
presentation is given to a large audience (150-1500). (i.e. the
recent Arkansas trip)
Purpose: Let them know what the Administration is doing that has
helped and is helping their state (i.e. a giant Show & Tell).
Time Required: 1-1 1/2 hours for briefing and 1 hour for POTUS
POTUS Involvement: If there is no scheduled fundraising event
near the time we are in that state, the President should do a
meet and greet with brief remarks.
Action Items:
For Attendees: Be informed; share the information we give;
and get involved in your local political efforts
For Us: Share their names and numbers with relevent White
House staffs; send up-dated information to key people who will
disseminate it to the group
Props: White House information folders as mentioned above in
Models 1 & 2.
WHEN TO DO THE BRIEFINGS
We have already begun. What is needed to continue is an agreed
upon plan and timetable. If we immediately develop a six month
State Day schedule; ID potential states for POTUS travel within
the next six months, and set a six month social schedule, we can
begin to plan and successfully organize for these events.
WHICH BRIEFINGS TO USE
Model 1 should be used at all State Days.
Model 2 should always be done when the President and Vice
President travel domestically.
Model 3 should be done in all targeted states.
WHO SHOULD ORGANIZE THEM
Model 1 - Office of Public Liaison co-ordinating with Politcial
and Early Supporter outreach
Model 2 - Marsha Scott working with Political and Kevin O'Keefe
Model 3 - Marsha Scott working with Political, OPL and Kevin
This is not complicated SO let's keep it simple. We want to hear
from our folks and they want to stay in communication with us.

MEMORANDUM FOR HAROLD ICKES, MAGGIE WILLIAMS AND ANN STOCK
FROM:
Alexis Herman
SUBJECT:
The Process Going Forward for State Days
Building on the learning from the December Early Supporter Days, following is an outline of
some of the issues that need to be discussed with recommendations on the process going
forward for State Days/Early Supporter Days:
I.
Role Clarification
1. Define the roles and coordination of the relevant offices: Public Liaison, Political
and Social Secretary.
II.
List Development

b.
to the reception
c.
to smaller meeting in the residence
Options include:

persuadables.
NOTE:
It will be difficult to accommodate more than 320 people in one day,
based on rooms available.
III.
Process Steps to Clarify
1. Joint List Development
2. Identify Dates of State Days
It would be better to schedule these every other day.
3. One Mailing from Social Secretary
Invitations extended 1 month in advance

4. Determine who receives RSVPs and who does phone follow-up
5. Determine whose budget pays for the coffee break
