RE:
Reagan's $90 Billion Plan
The single most radical and probably most detrimental
aspect of his proposal is the total elimination of General
Revenue Sharing. 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.
It states that Reagan's Backgrounder One claimed
a $7.2 Billion annual savings. This is just a
"careless" $1 Billion error. The program is
funded at $6 Billion per annum.
2. 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. The elimination of the program would
have immediate and severe effects in New
Hampshire. To illustrate:

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.

Dear Mimi:
During 1973, Mike Deaver's public relations firm
in Los Angeles spent thousands of dollars to compile a GOP
profile in each state with special interest in delegate
selection.
It would be very interesting to find out if that
expenditure appears on Reagan's finance reports, especially
the expenditure in New Hampshire.

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.

A lot of Reagan's material has on it simply, "Paid
for by Citizens for Reagan - Chairman, Senator Paul
Laxalt." We have a much longer disclaimer.
Also, there's a great deal of information that he
has going out that has no disclaimer at all.
I think it would be good for you to get a copy of
some of these and see if there is any legitimate
grounds for a strong complaint.

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.
At my request Congressman Vander Jagt enclosed a
contribution form and a reply envelope for your use,
Mr. E Mrs. Fry. I have asked him to give me a list
of donors who respond and I certainly hope your name
is on this list.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reagan is supposed to make full financial disclosure on
Tuesday. We should look it over carefully and quickly to:
1. See if it matches detail of the President's.
2. Determine weak spots such as his income from
radio and TV and lecture fees, tax loonholes,
and discrerancies with campaign financial
statements.
We can get something out, but only after someone runs this
stuff down.

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,

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:
