MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
Bo CALLAWAY

SUBJECT:
Weekly Report #18, Week Ending November 7, 1975
I. GENERAL CAMPAIGN ORGANIZATION
The addition today of Bob Marik as Deputy Campaign Chairman for Admin-
istration is a major plus for the Committee as our activity increases.
Stu Spencer and I met with Dick Cheney on Saturday to review areas
for greater cooperation between the White House and the Campaign
Committee. The meeting could not have been more productive, and I
look forward to working with Dick in the implementation of agreed
upon actions.
The seven Regional Coordinators covered a total of twenty states last
week in meeting with PFC and Party leadership. In essentially each
instance, the overall reaction to the changes you announced on Monday
was favorable. The Vice President's announcement was viewed as a plus
in most areas of the country although a question remains with some
people as to his active support of your candidacy. The departure
of Jim Schlesinger from the Administration is not now nor is it
expected to be a major problem politically.
Our Regional Coordinators will be in Washington on Sunday and Monday
of next week to review the Committee's current and future plans and
to brief the Advisory Committee Members. The latter event is planned
for Monday afternoon at the Mayflower Hotel.
II. STATE CAMPAIGN ORGANIZATION
Four new State Chairmen were appointed last week, raising to twenty-
four the number of states with PFC leadership in place. A list of the
Chairmen is provided at Tab A. A review of these appointments as well
as a rundown of activity in several additional states follows:
1. California -- State Attorney General Evelle Younger and
State Senator Dennis Carpenter have been appointed Co-Chairmen
of the California PFC. Announcement of their selection will
be made on Tuesday, November 11. Denny Carpenter's appointment
is especially significant given his close relationship with
Reagan and his very respected position among state conservatives,
The President Ford Committee, Howard H. Callaway, Chairman, David Packard, National Finance Chairman, Robert C. Moot, Treasurer. A copy of
our Report is filed with the Federal Election Commission and is available for purchase from the Federal Election Commission, Washington, D.C. 20463.

particularly those in Orange County. Leon Parma will continue
to chair the Steering Committee.
2. Kansas -- State PFC Finance Chairman Howard Wilkins has
agreed to serve concurrently as a campaign Co-Chairman along
with Mrs. Harold Wiebe. Mrs. Wiebe is a highly respected
campaign leader who has been actively involved in innumerable
state races. In 1974, she served as a District Chairman for
Bob Dole.
3. Maryland -- State Senator Newton Steers and Anne Arundel
County Executive Robert Pascal have agreed to serve as State
PFC Co-Chairmen. Announcement of their appointment is
scheduled for Wednesday, November 12.
4. Oregon -- State Senator Vic Atiyeh and '72 State Treasurer
candidate Craig Berkman have been selected to serve as State
Co-Chairmen. While Atiyeh will be involved in his own
reelection bid next year, his race is not considered to
be a major burden and Berkman's involvement will assure
full-time leadership direction.
5. Nebraska -- Mrs. Dee Graham of Omaha has joined the
Nebraska PFC to serve as Vice Chairman under State Chairman
Bill Barrett. She served as Vice Chairman when Barrett was
State Party Chairman from 1972-74. I will be in the state
on November 21 to formally announce her appointment and the
formation of the state campaign committee.
6. New Hampshire -- Stu Spencer and Dick Mastrangelo were
in the state last week to review activities with the Steering
Committee. A comprehensive mailing to state Republicans is
on schedule for distribution later this month, and field
activity under the supervision of state campaign manager
John Michels and a field director is well underway.
III. FINANCE
The million dollar milestone was reached last week. $52,574 was
received for a total to date of $1,041,649.85. Oualifiable matching
funds increased by $23,399 for a total to date of $464,395. A copy
of the Treasurer's Report is attached at Tab B.
No new Finance Chairmen have been appointed since the last report.

IV. LEGAL
Bob Visser testified and submitted written comments on Tuesday
before the Federal Election Commission regarding the proposed
Presidential Election Matching Fund Regulations. Tim Ryan
and Visser also met with Dean Burch and Ed McCabe on several
matters, including the FEC's Advisory Opinion which ruled that
attorneys and accountants fees are to be included in a
candidate's expenditure limitation. Congressman McCollister
has requested a rehearing of this important decision to which
Commissioners Aikens and Tiernan filed a strong dissent.
