He is vulnerable on several fronts with this element of the plan. 1. The "miscalculation" pointed out in the recent Washington Post article by Richard Stout is symptomatic of the thoughtlessness or at best lack of care in projecting budget savings.

While Reagan was not out in front in 1971 he did support enactment of General Revenue Sharing and because population is a major formula factor its loss would be greatest in his home state California. 3.

CALL JOAN MARK H. JOHNSON Proprere 7624 Maple St. Morton Grove, Ill. 60053 January 12, 1976 Mr. David E. Brown Legal Dept. CUPY TO RICHARD OGILVIE Kemper Insurance Long Grove, I11.60049 60049 Dear Dave: I was pleased to learn that you are working for Ford instead of Reagan. Enclosed is some information that may indicate Illinois Reagan people are about to violate campaign fund-raising laws later this week. My only hard information is the enclosed announcement of a 3-day, 75-dollar symposium at the Sheraton Oak Brook. However, the program description ("moral philos- ophy. methods of communicating") could also apply to a rip- roaring session to fire up Reagan campaign workers. To illuminate the situation, I pose these que stions: (A) Why is the ICU doing this now, instead of gearing up the Reagan organization? I understand the ICU has been inactive the last few years but the American Conservative Union is strongly for Reagan. ACU may have lots of talent in Illinois now to "get ICU moving again." (B) If some generous donor offerred to purchase several hundred tickets that were not used, would his request be honored and if SO, who would get the money? (c) Given the distinction between hard political dollars, which only individuals may legally. give to candidates, as opposed to soft political dollars that corporations may freely give to encourage economic and political education, might not this conference be an ideal vehicle for quietly converting soft corporate money into hard partisan Reagan money, in clear violation of law? (D) How many individuals would really pay $75.00 for such a symposium, and what publicity effort has there actually been to maximize individual participation? I couldn't find any of the names in the symposium announcement in the phone book, but other sources indicate the ICU is at that Lombard address with the number 629-4300. If we Ford people are able to prove hanky-panky it could GERALD FORD (IBRARY be Watergate all over again for Reagan. In this situation the greatest thing working against the people putting on the symposium could be the relative inexperience of the ICU people, which may create tense relations between them and the national ACU professionals. Fast action by Ford people may be extremely important because all I have ever read about fund-rasing events says to take the money and run, meaning proceeds will be disbursed and records may start to disappear the day after the conference. Hope that they use double entry book-keeping and leave behind a complete set of books for Ford people to audit. Right or wrong about this Oak Brook meeting, I am eager to help President Ford, particularly in precinct organization. I expect you will start such work soon, and I hope to be in on it from the very beginning, including the training that you give to new precinct workers. Just as early money is important in campaigns, I believe early vol- unteers are also important--so I hope to become one. I can be reached during the day at (312)-375-4310-xt.285 and after 6:30 PM at 965-1195. Sincerely, Male us. faluse Mark H.

Attachment CC: Stu Spencer Peter Kaye FORD i LIBRARY GERALD -1- { Ramy nurk One of the biggest myths in American politics is the image of Ronald Reagan as a tight-fisted fiscal conservative. In reality, Reagan was the biggest taxer and spender of any governor in California's history. Lou Cannon, a political writer for the Washington Post and author of a Reagan biography, wrote in a recent article: "At times Reagan seems to be the various things his advocates and his adversaries say about him. What Reagan says and what Reagan does are frequently contradictory. And he left a conflicting legacy after two four-year terms in the governorship. " Nowhere are the Reagan rhetoric and the Reagan record in more conflict than in the field of fiscal policy. Let's compare the rhetoric and the record. A letter from Sen. Paul Laxalt, R-Nevada, who is chairman of Citizens for Reagan, set the theme of the campaign. The senator said Reagan would tell the American people "that_ as governor of California he was successful in: --creating and returning an $850 million surplus to the California taxpayers. --keeping the size of the California state government constant. --originating and signing a massive tax relief bill which resulted in a $378 million saving to California's property owners and a $110 million saving to renters. " FORD & LIBRAR 37670 -2- That's the rhetoric. In detail, let's look at the record. Q. What about the Reagan campaign claim that as governor, he created and returned an $850 million surplus to the California taxpayers?" A. The $850 million surplus was not the result of any savings in state government. Rather, it was a serious miscalculation. In 1967, Reagan, in effect, 'overtaxed' Californians through an enormous $943 million tax increase. While the tax increase was permanent, the rebate was a one-shot temporary form of relief in 1969 -- the year preceding his bid for reelection. Q. And the claim of a "massive tax relief bill which resulted in a $378 million saving to property owners and a $110 million saving to renters?" A. This was in no way the result of sound management of the state. The property tax relief was achieved by other federal and state revenues. Specifically, they were a federal revenue sharing surplus, a major increase in the state sales tax and a strong business climate. Q. What about the Reagan campaign boast that he kept "the size of California state government constant?" A. Under Reagan, the state budget more than doubled in eight years from $4.6 billion to $10.2 billion. The number of state employees increased from 113,779 in 1967 to 127,929 in 1975. -3- Q. Yes, but don't inflation and the growth of California's population contribute to that budget increase? A. Doubtless they do. But it is significant to note that under Reagan the state budget increased an average of 12.2% yearly. Under his successor, Edmund G. Brown, Jr., the increase has been 6%. And while California's population grew 1% a year during Reagan's eight-year administration, it grew 3% a year during the 14 preceding years under Governors Edmund G. Brown, Sr. and Goodwin J. Knight. Q. How did Reagan balance the state budget during those years that it more than doubled? By practicing fiscal economies? A. By no means. Under Reagan, there were three huge tax increases totalling more than $2 billion. In 1967, there was an increase of $967 million -- the largest state tax hike in the nation's history. Of this, $280 million went for a one-time deficit payment and future property tax relief. In 1971, the increase was $488 million with $150 million for property tax relief. In 1972, the increase was $682 million with $650 million for property tax relief. Much of this property tax relief was short term. But the overall tax increases were permanent. Q. How was this money raised? A. By all sorts of taxes. State personal income tax revenues went from $500 million to $2.5 billion, a 500% increase. Top bracket levies were increased from 7% to 11%. The size of the brackets was reduced so that taxpayers reached the highest -4- bracket more quickly. And personal exemptions were reduced. Finally, after adamantly denying he would ever do so, the governor agreed to a system of withholding state income taxes. Bank and corporation taxes went up 100%. The state sales tax rose from 4% to 6%. The tax on cigarettes went up 7 cents a pack and the liquor tax rose 50 cents per gallon. Inheritance tax rates also were increased and collections more than doubled. Q. But didn't taxpayers benefit from local property tax relief? A. Hardly. Under Reagan, the average tax rate for each $100 of assessed valuation rose from $8.84 to $11.15. Under predecessor Pat Brown the increase was much less in dollars and percentage -- from $6.96 to $8.84. And in the six years of Republican Knight's administration it was still less -- from $5.94 to $6.96. One reason for the big increase under Reagan -- from $3.7 billion to $8.3 billion -- is that the state paid a steadily smaller percentage of school costs -- one of the biggest reasons for local property taxes. Despite periodic efforts to provide relief, there has been a substantial increase in the burden carried by most property owners. Inflation and higher assessments have helped wipe out any savings. Only $855 million of the record $10.2 billion budget in Reagan's final year was for tax relief for homeowners and renters. Q. What did Reagan have to say about all this spending? A. Nothing very consistent. In his first inaugural message -5- on January 5, 1967, he said "we are going to squeeze and cut and trim until we reduce the cost of government." On July 9, 1967, he said in a televised speech that as long as California grows in population and as long as the country is in an inflationary spiral "we will have a record breaking budget every year and that is roughly 8%." On Oct. 2, 1967, Reagan was asked in Milwaukee about his comment that he balanced the budget without new taxes. He replied: "We raised the old ones about $1 billion." Q. Many of Reagan's supporters claim that the reason for the huge budget increases in his administration was because of increases in assistance to local governments? A. That's true. And under the same logic, we could eliminate about $60 billion from the federal budget spent for assistance to the states. Extending that bookkeeping system to foreign aid and assistance to individuals, nearly three-fourths of- the federal budget could be disregarded. If Reagan is going to continue to criticize the growth of the federal budget, he has to accept similar criticism on the growth of California's budget while he was governor. He can't have it both ways. #### PAGE 1. LIBRARY FORD [Feb.1976?] GERALD ASSETS 144 MR. AND MRS. RONALD MEAGAN (Assets and Other Properties) Residence.

D.C. 20013 February 11, 1976 Mr. E Mrs. Edward F. Fry 5315 First St. N.W. Washington, D. C. 20011 Dear Mr. & Mrs. Fry: I asked Congressman Vander Jagt, Chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee if I could write to you today about a serious and urgent matter. Frankly, the Republican Party needs your renewed financial support in the 1976 Congressional elections as never before. Make no mistake about it. Liberal Democratic candidates and their political allies such as the AFL-CIO's COPE, are al- ready amassing a huge war chest in D. C. and across the nation for their drive to maintain their 2 to 1 control of Congress. Union reports filed in Washington show big labor has already raised over $4,000,000 in ready cash. When their "official" election fundraising drive begins later this year, they expect to amass 29 millions of additional dollars. Most of which will be used against conservative Republican candidates. I don't believe we can break this liberal Democratic strangle- hold unless you help the Committee in it's effort to elect responsible candidates who stand up for fiscal sanity, the free market system and a strong U. S. military defense. As you know, Democrats have controlled Congress lock, stock, and barrel for 40 of the past 44 years. There isn't one penny spent by your government that hasn't been mandated by the Democrat majority. No bureaucrat has been hired, no rule or regulation has been issued without approval by the Democrat majority in Congress. FORD & GERALD LIBRARY They have caused galloping inflation which wipes out your savings and your buying power. They have enthusiastically voted for every spending bill that has produced the highest Federal budget deficits in our history. In 1975, the Democrats introduced bills to nationalize our oil industry, to allocate our energy supply and to sharply reduce our military defenses that, in my opinion, would jeopardize the very safety of this country. Mr. E Mrs. Edward F. y In order to return control of Congress to the Republicans, the Congressional Committee has established a comprehensive program and launched a special emergency fund drive. The immediate need for funds is critical because the Commit- tee must raise a minimum of $750,000 in early money to make cash contributions to candidates and fund political action programs Republican candidates need for victory in 1976. This emergency fund, if raised, will be used to defeat en- trenched Democrats in Congress and to elect and reelect Re- publicans who will support the programs designed to stop inflation and recession. I know from talking with hundreds of Republicans at meetings across the country, that the Committee's support is invalu- able. There are many Republicans sitting in Congress today who owe their election to the efforts of this important and hard-hitting Committee. It's time for a fundamental change in Washington that can only come from a Republican Congress. Thanks to the Democrats, welfare, like government spending, has gotten out of hand; programs such as food stamps have become a national disgrace; a bloated government burea- cracy, with its endless rules and regulations, harasses our citizens and threatens to bury business in a sea of red tape. The situation in Washington is critical. But no change can, or will, be made without your financial help and support. I hope, therefore, you will respond today to my spe- cial appeal by sending a contribution for as much as $25 or more. If the Committee can reach this goal, it will help us defeat entrenched liberal Democrats and elect Republicans who will oppose the shocking abuses I have mentioned. If you want to help offset union domination of the upcoming Congressional election, I strongly urge you to support the Committee's fund-raising effort. Rarely Sincerely, Ronald W. Reagan Reagen P.S.

These reports indicate that Reagan raised $882,946.99 * during the month of January. At the time of his last report, December 31, 1975, the Reagan Committee had $416,723.48 on hand. During the month of January, the Reagan Committee spent $1,250,123.84 and had accrued debts of $635,418.39. Accordingly, the Reagan Committee indicates that cash on hand for January 31, 1976 was $53,156.63. However, when viewed in the perspective of debts and obligations owed by the Reagan Committee, they are approximately $550,000 in debt. It is obvious that the Reagan Committee is spending money based on its matching funds submissions. Thus, Reagan has sub- mitted $663,000 for matching payments. As of this date, none of these funds have been verified by the Audit and Investigation Division of the FEC. This leads one to believe that the Reagan Committee's accounting procedures and its method of submitting matching funds to the FEC leaves something to be desired. * The Reagan Report indicates that this sum includes $100,000 of matching funds.

TTR:jr 2/16/76 MRMORANDUM TO: Bo Callaway Stu Spencer FROM: Peter Tim Ryan Kaye TOR RE: REAGAN ACTIVITY -- NEW HAMPSHIRE The following facts, based on a review of Reagan's FEC reports, lead us to believe that Reagan may be close to his New Hampshire expenditure limits: 1. Itemized expenses to N.H. addresses in 1975 Reports $ 58,617.22 2. Itemized expenses to N.H. addresses in Jan. 1976 Report 20,157.00 3. Allocated Primary expenditures listed for N.H. in Jan., 1976 Report 49,623.47 Accordingly, Reagan's allocated January expenses in New Hampshire were 2½ times the itemized January expenditures ($20,157 compared to $49,633). Using this same ratio for pre-January expenses, which may not be a viable assumption, it would appear that Reagan's allocated 1975 expenses in New Hampshire were approximately $144,000. Thus, based on these facts and the assumption that the same ratio existed pre-January for Reagan expenditures, it appears that as of January 31, 1976, Citizens for Reagan had spent approximately 190,000 for its New Hampshire campaign.

Itemized expenses to N.H. addresses. in 1975 Reports $ 58,617.22 2. Itemized expenses to N.H. addresses in Jan. 1976 Report 20,157.00 3. Allocated Primary expenditures listed for N.H. in Jan., 1976 Report 49,623.47 Accordingly, Reagan's allocated January expenses in New Hampshire were 2½ times the itemized January expenditures ($20,157 compared to $49,633). Using this same ratio for pre-January expenses, which may not be a viable assumption, it would appear that Reagan's allocated 1975 expenses in New Hampshire were approximately $144,000. Thus, based on these facts and the assumption that the same ratio existed pre-January for Reagan expenditures, it appears that as of January 31, 1976, Citizens for Reagan had spent approximately 190,000 for its New Hampshire campaign. FORD & LIBRARY GERALD MEMORANDUM February 12, 1976 TO: Bo Callaway Bob Mosbacher Bob Moot FROM: Bob Visser of Tim Ryan RE: REAGAN -- January 31, 1976 FEC Report Attached are the Citizens for Reagan Report of Receipts and Expenditures, Detailed Summary Schedule of Receipts and Expenditures and Allocation of Primary Expenditures by State (covering 1/1--1/31/76). These reports indicate that Reagan raised $882,946.99 * during the month of January. At the time of his last report, December 31, 1975, the Reagan Committee had $416,723.48 on hand. During the month of January, the Reagan Committee spent $1,250,123.84 and had accrued debts of $635,418.39. Accordingly, the Reagan Committee indicates that cash on hand for January 31, 1976 was $53,156.63. However, when viewed in the perspective of debts and obligations owed by the Reagan Committee, they are approximately $550,000 in debt. It is obvious that the Reagan Committee is spending money based on its matching funds submissions. Thus, Reagan has sub- mitted $663,000 for matching payments. As of this date, none of these funds have been verified by the Audit and Investigation Division of the FEC. This leads one to believe that the Reagan Committee's accounting procedures and its method of submitting matching funds to the FEC leaves something to be desired. * The Reagan Report indicates that this sum includes $100,000 of matching funds.

N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C. 20035 (202) 833-8950 FEBRUARY 17, 1976 TO: BO CALLAWAY FROM: BRUCE WAGNER at SUBJECT: REAGAN MEDIA SPENDING We have estimated Ronald Reagan's media spending for New Hampshire and Florida (attached). A couple of observations: 1. Reagan is outspending the PFC in both states by a 2:1 dollar ratio. 2. Generally speaking, he is running his paid schedules longer at significantly higher levels of pressure. 3. The primary difference appears in the use of television -- although Reagan is spending more than the PFC in radio, the biggest difference is in the area of his television weight. Although these data are strictly estimates based on conversations with station representatives, I think it's fair to say that the Reagan paid media effort is just about twice the dollar value of what we are executing on behalf of the President. Although these estimates will not be specifically relevant to state spending limitation questions (because they are only estimates), these data indicate things to watch for as the formal spending reports are filed. Please let me know if you wish to discuss.

UPI 02-25 04:36 PES Feb.,25 GERALD FORD LIBRARY KPU E MEMORANDUM February 27, 1976 TO: Bo Callaway Stu Spencer Peter Kaye FROM: Tim Ryan RE: Financial Disclosure Statement Issued by Ronald Reagan Lawyers in the Tax Department of my ex-firm have analyzed Reagan's financial disclosure statement, copy attached. Generally, they have determined, if the financial statement is correct, Mr. Reagan is paying taxes typical or higher than persons in his income bracket would normally pay when represented by adequate tax counsel. However, after reviewing his real estate, trust, bond and common stock assets, they believe that his total adjusted gross income per Federal returns plus non-taxable income during the years 1970 through 1974, and in particular, 1970 and 1971, are extraordinarily low for a man with his financial background and assets. They suggest that Mr. Reagan most likely has a number of irrevocable trusts for his children. In that way, income derived from such trusts would not be reported by Mr. Reagan but would be reported by his children on their tax returns. Their final remark in this regard was, "We'd love to see his kids' tax returns". Notwithstanding the above, and realizing the obvious political benefits, the lawyers stated that with some assurance they feel comfortable in noting that Reagan paid less than 20 percent of his total income in taxes during the years 1970 through 1974. In 1975, his estimated tax is substantially higher than that percentage. In fact, if the $119,332 estimate for taxes paid in 1975 is accurate, he will pay this year almost as much in taxes on an income of $282,253 as he paid in the four previous years on income of $528,518. In addition, the tax lawyers have noted that if their understanding of Mr. Reagan's 1970 State tax returns is correct, FORD & LIBRARY GERALD -2- that is, no State taxes paid that year, they believe that in that year he most likely paid no Federal taxes beaause the same tax base is used for Federal taxes becausesed for California taxes. If this is of great interest, more in-depth research of the California State income taxes should be done immediately. Finally, utilizing the same form as used in the president's income and tax information disclosure statement, the following total tax paid as a percentage of the tetal adjusted gross income plus non-taxable income exists for the President and Mr. Reagan: All Taxes As Percenaage of Gross Income Year Ronald Reagan Gerald R.
