VINELAND, NJ RALLY
This is a street rally at the corner of 7th St. and Landis
Ave. Approximately 5,000 people are expected. The President
will speak at approximately 12:10 p.m.
LOCAL COLOR
Vineland has had three Presidential visits -- in 1874 Grant
visited a home that is down the block from the event site;
Taft made a whistle stop in 1912; and Teddy Roosevelt spent
three minutes on the town's tracks while the conductor let
another train pass. Grant called Vineland a "thriving
little town."
Charles K. Landis founded Vineland in 1861. He built a one-
square-mile city, which has now expanded into a town with
the largest geographic area of any city in the state.
Across the street and stage left from POTUS will be Bray and
MacGeorge's Realty. The owner is Lou DeMarco -- an 84-
year-old man who was involved in local politics for many
years -- also voted "Citizen of the Year" a few years ago.
Everybody knows Lou and he's a devoted Republican. He will
be at the event.
Down the street from where the President will be is the
Bread Board Restaurant. Every morning would-be politicians
and actual politicians gather to discuss everything from
local politics to world peace. The group includes young and
old. The President can just refer to the restaurant as the
"Bread Board. "
The President will be on Landis Avenue -- everybody calls it
"The Avenue.'
Some of the town shops that will be nearby the President
include: Al's Shoes, DeSoto Jewelers (both of these are
located behind the stage), Bray and MacGeorge Realty
Company.
Dr. Welch, the dentist who established the Welch's Grape
Juice Company, began his business in Vineland (it's since
moved to upstate New York). A strict Methodist, he produced
the grape juice as an alternative to wine.
The area plays hosts to a strong population of bald eagles
(patriotism mention).
Atlantic City and New Jersey Shore are popular vacation
spots.
ABOUT VINELAND
Vineland is the largest NJ city in the poorest NJ county,
Cumberland. Vineland is basically a rural county -- a
farming community (fruits and vegetables). It's major
industries are agriculture (including food processing plants
like Progresso) and glass manufacturing (because of the high
quality sand in the area -- silica sand).
Vineland's population is 55,000 -- predominantly an Italian
community; approximately 35% Hispanic (mostly Puerto Rican).
There were lots o' Columbus Day celebrations because of the
strong Italian heritage in Vineland.
This year, local Republicans in Cumberland County have the
chance to take control of the County Board -- the local
government branch that has been controlled by the Democrats
for 20 years. This is because of the efforts of Gloria Noto
-- a Republican whose led the charge for other Republicans
into local government. Everybody knows Gloria.
Landis is the widest street in the state -- 100 feet wide -
- wider than Fifth Avenue in New York.
One characteristic of Vineland is that the children who grow
up there stay there. Most do not move away after school.
General mood toward Florio is one of disappointment. He is
not well respected -- even among Democrats -- although they
don't like to admit it.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Mayor Joseph Romano
Frank LoBiondo (local assemblyman running for Congress --
very likely to defeat the Democratic incumbent, Bill Hughes.
LoBiondo is fairly well-respected in the town, though so is
Hughes. POTUS probably shouldn't slam Hughes, just build up
LoBiondo.)

minus integrity. This is a bumper sticker we've seen around
town.]

FOUNDER
DATE FOUNDED
Charles K. Landis
August 8, 1861
Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society, 112 S. Secenth Street, PO Box 35,
Vineland. Research Room and Library open from I 4 pm Tuesday through
Saturday; Vincland's First House and Society Museum, open to the public and
to free group fours on Saturdays and by appointment. Membership organiza-
tion provides annual magazine, quarterly newdelstters, lectures, workshops,
volunteer opportunities and annual open house. For further information call
Society Secretary at 691-1111.
"A wilderness of forbidding aspect" was the best that Charles K. Landis
ould say of the 32,000 acres of burned over scrub forest he bought and
urned into what would become the City of Vineland. The young real estate
leveloper from Philadelphia had already helped to found the town of
Hammonton and Sea Isle City, This new tract probably appealed to him
ecause the land was cheap ($7 per acre) and he would have a free hand
7 developing it.
Wilderness or not, Landis decided this wild territory had the ideal soll,
limate, and-location to grow fruit. "Intending to make it a vine country, I
alled it Vineland", Landis said. On August 8, 1861, he directed his surveyor
0 drive a founder's stake at the center of the tract, now Landis Avenue and
he Boulevard.
Through Robert Tyler, the son of President John Tyler, Landis ob-
ained the right to open a post office in Vineland. Landis provided for an
igricultural community surrounding a central section of stores, factories and
iomes, and until the twentieth century, Vineland was chiefly agricultural.

Named after Vineland's founder, Landis Anenue remains Vineland's main
thoroughfare.
Dr. Thomas B. Welch, a New Jersey dentist, produced an unfermented
grape juice, boiling the grapes to prevent fermentation; his son, Charles,
cultivated and processed the grapes in Vineland from 1872 until 1896.
Welch's Grape Juice, now located in upstate New York, is derived from the
Vineland product.
Vineland, established during the Civil War, continued to expand in
population, agriculture and industry until the late 1920's. Newcomb Hospital
opened its doors in 1921 with just 35 beds.
The Vineland Cooperative Produce Auction was organized in 1931
with a charter membership of 78, and $64,000 realized from their first sales.
There are now over 600 farmer members of the Auction and sales hover
around the $50,000,000 mark.
The Vineland Egg Auction, also established in 1931, made the city
known as the "Egg Capital of the East". Problems with production costs and
competition from southern egg producers forced a decline in the 1960's, and
resulted in closing in March, 1973.
In 1952, the mile-square Borough of Vineland consolidated with
surrounding Landis Township to become the present City of Vineland.
Vineland has been a cosmopolitan community from the earliest years. The
first settlers from New England were followed by large groups of Germans,
French and Irish, plus thousands of Italian immigrants. These were followed
by Black and Hispanic groups, all now sharing in the leadership and
community life of Vineland.

SUBJECT: SITE SURVEY FOR NEW JERSEY
Attached is the site survey for the President's trip to New
Jersey on Thursday, October 22. As noted, the spontaneous lunch
in Hamilton Township has been cancelled. Once Kathy has the
other sites "scrubbed", implementation can begin. All the events
will be outdoors, using the standard stump speech (toast
lectern).

MEMORANDUM TO:
GARY FOSTER
FROM:
DOUG DUVALL
SUBJECT:
SURVEY REPORT FOR NEW JERSEY
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1992
PROPOSED EVENT SCENARIO:
After the morning rally in downtown Vineland, the President
would helicopter to Hamilton Township for an informal lunch with
Congressman Chris Smith at a local deli. This event will be rather
spontaneous and only open to press pool coverage. This will also
allow the rest of the media to travel by bus to the next campaign
stop in central New Jersey.
After lunch, the President would motorcade (10 min) or
helicopter to the GE Astro Space facility where he would give an
address to 1000+ employees. Upon conclusion of this event, the
President would helicopter to Ridgewood, New Jersey where he will
address an outdoor rally. After this final campaign stop of the
day, the President would then helicopter to Newark International
Airport where he would return to Washington via Air Force One.
PROPOSED SITE #2, HAMILTON TOWNSHIP:
Congressman Chris Smith's office suggested the President would
score political points by stopping by a local deli. The deli,
off
called "Fred and Pete's", is located in Hamilton Township near
Mercersville. The restaurant is inside a shopping center and is a
favorite eating establishment for area residents. This would
provide a human element to the day's campaign events and give the
President a chance to eat and talk with average citizens.
I looked at the deli at 10:00 am and every seat was filled.
Most of the customers were blue collar, middle class and many were
elderly. Since the restaurant is rather small, only the pool could
cover the event. I did not pinpoint a landing zone, but I did
notice several vacant parking lots behind some department stores
within a mile of the deli.
It should be noted that Cong. Smith has a debate that
afternoon in Philadelphia at 2:45. He would have to leave the
Trenton/Princeton area by 1:30, so he would probably not be able to
accompany the President to the GE Astro Space facility.
PROPOSED SITE #3, GE ASTRO SPACE:
GE Astro Space, a division of GE Aerospace, is headquartered
in East Windsor, New Jersey. They have a 2 million square foot
facility where they manufacture a variety of space satellites. GE
Astro Space does approximately $1 billion in sales per year. They
have 4000 employees in either their E. Windsor headquarters or at
their facility in Valley Forge, PA. The headquarters plant has
over 2500 employees, and we expect attendance for the President's
event to be over 1000.
GE Astro Space is quite diverse: 36% of their business base
is commercial, 36% defense oriented, and 28% is Civil Space. One
of their largest contracts is with NASA. GE Astro Space built the
Mars Observer satellite as well as several others for earth and
weather observation. They also produce defense meteorological
satellites for the military and global positioning satellites. 25%
of their sales (almost $200 million per year) is from international
clients. They have recently built a communications satellite for
Japan, one for Intelsat, and they are conducting a job training
program with Korea.
Due to the defense cuts in recent years, GE Astro Space did
lay off 1200-1400 people within the past 2 years. However, now
that the commercial winds have increased, they are beginning to
hire back.
Even though their facility is over 2 million square feet, they
do not have an area indoors which would hold more than 500 people.
I would therefore propose the event to be held in the visitor's
parking lot in front of the main entrance to GE Astro Space. The
President could land at the corporate landing zone near the front
entrance. He could be escorted into the east entrance and proceed
to a conference room for a brief hold before exiting out the front
door.
There are two visitor's parking lots in front of the building.
However, one is rather close to the landing zone and that may pose
security problems as well as problems with the rotor wash. I would
also recommend the other lot because it has a staircase leading
from the front door to the site. The President's stage could be
placed with its back to the building while the press platform could
be with its back to the service road. A banner could be hung from
the side of the building.
GE Astro Space does not allow any political message to be on
the banner, but they would agree to have a generic sign as long as
it does not look like an endorsement. Something like, "Space
Technology for the 21st Century" would be acceptable. The audience
would be comprised of the employees of GE Astro Space and possibly
their spouses. It would be most appropriate to have most of the
audience seated.
PROPOSED SITE #4: RIDGEWOOD, NJ
Ridgewood is home to Congresswoman Marge Roukema. A suburb of
New York City and Newark, Ridgewood is mostly upper middle class in
income. It has a population of 28,000 and is predominantly
Republican. There is also a large amount of people who have not
declared, but they usually vote Republican. The President received
65-70% of the vote in 1988. Congresswoman Roukema is in pretty
good shape for reelection, and she is willing to work hard to
ensure a successful visit of the President to her district.
I propose the rally be held at Ridgewood High School.
Ridgewood High looks more like a university than a high school
because it is rather old, has a steeple, large pillars and a cement
staircase leading down to the football field. I propose the rally
be held in the football field.
The President could arrive to a back entrance of the school
and use a classroom as a holding room. Another option would be
just to have an enclosed tented arrival. In any case, the
President could walk down into the football field as he is
introduced on stage. The dais could be placed on the running track
with the press platform in mid field. The school itself would be
the primary backdrop. There are also permanent sets of bleachers
on both sides of the field where we can put a band or a group of
supporters.
Like any football field, the site is quite large and would be
close to impossible to fill completely. However, with proper use
of the press platform, ropes and barrels, portable bleachers, and
food/refreshment stands, the event can be easily framed. Ridgewood
High also has an intramural field which would be excellent for
parking for the event. Ridgewood has had an ongoing problem of
limited parking everywhere in the city, so necessary arrangements
must be made. Both fields are fenced in with a gate connecting the
two.
The intramural field would also make a good landing zone, but
there is also a park within a mile of the high school which would
work. The gymnasium or the cafeteria could be used for a press
filing center.
