N.W.\nWASHINGTON. O.C. 20006\n(202) 333.0920\nJuly 15, 1971\nMEMORANDUM FOR: GORDON STRACHAN\nFROM:\nBOB MARIK\nSUBJECT:\nPOTENTIAL COMPUTER APPLICATIONS FOR 1972\nIn response to your memo of July 7, I have summarized below\npertinent information on items 1-10 of the original computer\napplication recommendations.\n1. Public Statements by the President, as reported in the\nnews media, are retained on the RNC Miracode filing sys-\ntem. They can be retrieved only by the subject codes\noriginally assigned, as opposed to some computerized\nsystems which can retrieve on any combination of words\nin the text. The RNC response time is a few hours to\na day or two, depending on the extent of material desired\nand its priority.\n2. Administration Proposals Sent to Congress, along with\ntheir status or ultimate disposition, are not systemati-\ncally indexed anywhere outside of the White House and\nCongress as far as I know.\n3.\nInformation on Federal Programs - same as (2) above.\n4. Grants and Public Works Projects - same as (2) above.\n5. Economic Data on a Demographic Basis does not come from\nthe Census Bureau on a current basis, I believe. I am\npúrsuing this through the Department of Labor (unemploy-\nment), and will also check with HEW (welfare). The\nDomestic Council may have some good lines of communication\nto the proper sources. This will take a few weeks to\nwork out, but I will let you know when the data flow is\nestablished.\n6. Voting Records of Congressmen. The RNC is keeping records\nof the votes of the Presidential contenders. They are\npublished monthly, and more frequently as their activities\nincrease. Specific data could be retrieved within a day\nor less. Through the Congressional Research Service at\nthe Library of Congress one may obtain voting records\nby bill as well as Administration action. Voting\nrecord by Senator or Congressman is only given to his\nstaff. Voting record requests are answered immediately,\nbut the time frame varies for Administration position.\n7. Legislation Introduced by Congressmen. As you mentioned,\nthis is useful primarily for the contenders, and the\nRNC includes that in their Miracode system and their\nmonthly summaries.\n8. Federal Patronage is less important than grantsmanship\nin seeking votes in a Congressional district. It is\nprobably not worth putting on the computer.\n9'. Published Public Opinion Polls. We have been working\nwith Joyce Baker at the RNC from time to time and have\nfound their data base and response time very adequate\n(within a few hours or less when required) Their weekly\nsummary of the polls is succinct and thorough. In\naddition, the Citizens Committee is maintaining graphs\nof a few indicator polls to measure trends over time.\n10. Past Voting Data. A major part of our campaign research\nprogram, in concert with the RNC, will be to summarize\nthe information in the most usable form and to have it\navailable on the computer for rapid retrieval in any for-\nmat. The RNC has completed its file of voting history\nfor all states by county, for President, Governor, Senator\nand Congressmen over the past ten years. They will com-\nbine that information with demographic census data to\nproduce a wide variety of useful analyses.\nCC: Bruce Kehrli"
