MEMORANDUM FOR MICHAEL A. McMANUS, JR.

SUBJECT:
Weekly Report on Campaign Event Operations #6
I. ADVANCE
1. 1st VICE PRESIDENTIAL SOUTHERN TOUR
Macon, Georgia - By all accounts, the first stop of the
Vice President's 1st Southern Tour was a terrific
success. The enthusiastic crowd of nearly 4,000
invigorated the Vice President, setting a positive
tone for the entire tour.
Birmingham, Alabama - The conservative student body and
local Republicans turned out an extremely enthusiastic
crowd of about 2,200. Color was very important to the
Birmingham event. The Vice President's speech was
immediately followed by a confetti drop, band music,
and the dramatic lowering of a 40 X 60 foot American
flag. The only problem was that there were about 200
empty seats in a very remote upper rear balcony area.
Media coverage included front page photos in two
local papers and 2-3 minute news spots on both NBC and
ABC. A headline read "Bush Wows Them in Birmingham".
St. Petersburg, Florida - The Williams Park event drew
a crowd of 2,500 to 3,000. The front page photo in the
St. Petersburg Times of the Vice President shaking
out-stretched hands was indicative of the festive
campaign nature of the rally.
Tampa, Florida - The La Tropicana event had the local
Hispanic flavor we were seeking. The lunch was billed
as a gathering of local Hispanics, hosted by the Mayor
of Tampa. Approximately 100 well-wishers gathered
outside to cheer the Vice President.
440 First Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001 (202) 383-1984
Paid for by Reagan-Bush '84: Paul Laxalt, Chairman; Angela M. Buchanan Jackson, Treasurer
Plant City, Florida - There was some concern regarding
a possible Bush-Mondale confrontation and even
with several "llth hour" schedule changes, the
Strawberry Festival was a successful event due in part
to the supportive crowd of over 4,000. Mondale did
appear at the Festival at the exact time as the Vice
President but did not interfere with our schedule.
Mondale's crowd was estimated at approximately 500.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida - The last event of the day
reinforced the message of the entire tour: large
and enthusiastic crowds gathered to support Reagan-
Bush '84. Approximately 2,800 people attended the
barbecue. The Vice President seized a photo
opportunity by posing with chefs in Reagan-Bush hats
and aprons.
Enclosed please find several news clippings from the
tour. (See Tab A)
2. 2nd VICE PRESIDENTIAL SOUTHERN TQUR - March 16, 1984
Jackson, Mississippi - Jackson is billed as a noon
time Reagan-Bush '84 Rally at City Hall. The setting
for the rally is visually appealing. The backdrop
is a traditional, columned City Hall with a large
statue of Andrew Jackson. The rally should draw
2,000 but 500 could suffice for a successful event.
Asheville, North Carolina - The Vice President will
arrive in the early afternoon and engage in one-on-one
interviews and a press conference. After private time,
there is a reception and a Western North Carolina
Reagan-Bush '84 Rally. The rally site is a high school
gymnasium, which should hold 2,000 people. Participants
will include Jesse Helms, Billy Hendon and other state
and local officials.
Enclosed please find a proposed schedule for this tour.
(See Tab B)
3. COORDINATION WITH VICE PRESIDENTIAL ADVANCE
There were some "growing pains" last week between
Reagan-Bush advance and the Vice President's advance
staff regarding individual responsibilities. However,
after the 1st VP Southern Tour, many attitudes have
changed and working relations have improved. We believe
this is due in a large part to the success of the trips.
Cooperation between the respective advance teams on the
road was very good. Constant communication between
myself, Dan Sullivan, Ron Kaufman, Andrew Littlefair and
John Keller will hopefully lead to continued cooperation.
4. FUTURE MIDWEST AND NORTHEASTERN TRIPS
Andrew Littlefair has begun research and preliminary
planning for possible events in Illinois and New York
for late March and early April. A survey trip may be
scheduled for the latter part of the week.
5. EVENT ORGANIZATION MEMORANDUM
Enclosed please. find an excellent example of the type
of event planning memo our advance teams prepare before
the arrival of the Vice Presidential Advance teams.
(See Tab C) This document helps to clearly outline the
event and seems to alleviate many potential problems.
II. SCHEDULING
1. SECRETARY REGAN'S TRIP TO TEXAS - March 5, 1984
The Secretary's trip to Dallas for a Reagan-Bush
fundraiser was very successful. His office indicated
that the trip was "perfect" and Reagan-Bush finance
has informed us that the event raised $100,000.
The Secretary's office scheduled a press conference at
the airline gate prior to his departure from Dallas,
answering a total of about seven questions. As this
was scheduled at the Secretary's request, he is
apparently willing to do press whenever possible although
we are not certain that he received any coverage
from this particular event. In the future, his office
has agreed that should the Secretary request press time
in his schedule, the Reagan-Bush scheduling office will
coordinate this in order to maximize coverage.
2. ILLINOIS
We have been advised by Anne Stanley, the RCD for this
region, that surrogates should be sent into the state
after the primary. Due to a heated primary battle for
the Republican Senate seat, attention is focused on
state politics rather than the Presidential primary.
Anne does believe surrogates should go in after the
March 20th primary in order to solidify the state
party and attract media attention in this key state.
We are currently working on a blitz which might include
Maureen Reagan, Secretary Donovan and Secretary Baldrige.
Our plans include hitting every media market in the state
within a week. We will pay particular attention to
events outside Chicago, although a stop in Chicago will
probably be included.
3. REAGAN-BUSH FUNDRAISERS
Reagan-Bush Scheduling is attempting to fulfill
fundraising requests in states which are behind in
meeting their Reagan-Bush state goals. If time permits,
we try to include some type of event which allows media
coverage in addition to the fundraising activity.
However, the state people continue to contact Cabinet
secretaries directly with scheduling requests.
Overall, the Cabinet Officers' schedulers are being
very good about referring these requests to us but
occasionally events are scheduled without our knowledge.
This, of course, causes some legal and logistical
problems. We have talked with Reagan-Bush Finance
about this and they will continue to stress to their
state chairpersons the importance of working through
Reagan-Bush scheduling.
4. WESTERN STATES' CONVENTIONS
Dick Wirthlin has indicated that because of the solid
support for the President in the Rocky Mountain states,
we would get little mileage out of sending surrogates
into these states. However, Mike Masson (RCD) has
requested heavy-hitters as speakers for the conventions
in the Western states. This concurs with our philosophy
of entering a state to gain media attention or solidify
party organization, as state conventions achieve both.
Masson has submitted a prioritized list of state
conventions and suggested speakers, which occur
primarily in June and July. We are proceeding with
scheduling Cabinet Officers into these states.
5. REGIONAL SCHEDULING DIVISIONS
In order to be more responsive to the needs of the RCDs,
state and local contacts, and become more attuned to
the geographic regions, we have divided responsibility
for regions between Patrice Malone and Anne Coudert.
Patrice's responsibilities include the Far West, the
Rocky Mountain states, the South and the Southwest
states. Anne's responbilities include the Midwest,
and the Northeast, in addition to her responsibilities
with the Speakers' office. Sarah will continue to
coordinate all trip proposals, as well as specific
events which are accepted by the Cabinet.
6. EVENTS FOLLOWING SUPER TUESDAY
We are in the process of planning appearances in
Illinois, Connecticut, New York, Michigan, Texas,
Washington, and Oregon, based on the primary focus
philosophy. However, we are looking ahead to the
possible shifts in strategy which may occur following
the results of Super Tuesday. We are starting to look
for events in Ohio, Minnesota and Colorado.
7. ACTION UPDATE
Enclosed you will find an Action Update and cover memo
highlighting the status of all scheduled events.
(See Tab D)
8. TEN WEEK SCHEDULE
Enclosed please find the ten-week schedule of caucus
and primary focus dates for the proposed states.
(See Tab E)
III. SPEAKERS
1. CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP
On Tuesday, March 13, two congressional briefings will
be held, one for the Congressional Steering Committee and
one for the key Senate Leadership to recruit members for
the Surrogate Speakers Program. Enclosed please find
the schedules for these briefings. (See Tab F)
2. ATHLETES FOR REAGAN-BUSH
Dick Schafrath's latest round of endorsements include:
Joe Paterno (coach, Penn State)
Roger Maris (NY Yankees)
Mickey Mantel (NY Yankees)
Don Schollander (swimmer - 4 gold medals at '64
Olympics)
Patricia McCormick (diver, gold medal at '52
Olympics)
Melissa Belote (swimmer - 3 gold medals in '72)
Lacey O'Neil (track & field - 3 gold medals in '72)
Mark Spitz (swimmer - 7 gold medals in '72)
Dennis Keegan was scheduled to meet with Senator Laxalt
on Friday to discuss his involvement in recruiting
Olympians. The meeting was cancelled but Keegan will
give us a report after it is rescheduled.
3. ENTERTAINMENT
Following up on Michele Davis' suggestion, we will have
the list of supporters from the 1980 campaign for
Morgan Mason's review and designation of current
supporters.
4. WOMEN FOR REAGAN-BUSH
Tish and Joan met with Bruce Hildebrand from the RNC
to discuss the ever-increasing number of women's groups
being organized during this campaign. Betty Heitman
expects her core group of 36 members of the Women's
Coalition to double in the next 60-90 days. This group
would consist of CEOs and top corporate officers. Other
women's groups within the RNC include: Jewish women,
headed by Bobbi Fiedler; Congressional women, started
last year by Nancy Thurmond but its current status is
uncertain; Cathy Bertini's group out of Chicago
(Hildebrand was meeting with her last Friday and will
report back to us); Maureen Reagan's group; RNC
Speakers Bureau; Eddie Mahe's group. Finally, the
Dolphin Group, organized by Bill Roberts, would be
an attack group of men and women. Hildebrand noted the
need for a coordinator of these groups but to date no
one has been named.

MEMORANDUM FOR MICHAEL A. MCMANUS, JR.
FROM:
DAN W. MORRIS Dwm
SUBJECT:
Weekly Report on Campaign Event Operations #5
I. ADVANCE
1. VICE PRESIDENTIAL SOUTHERN TOUR
Macon, Georgia: The rally here should be well atttended
and will have spectacular color. There had been some
concern that Reagan-Bush '84 would be perceived as
exploiting the Annual Cherry Blossom festival in
Fickling Park, but those concerns have been alleviated.
Birmingham, Alabama: Our host, Samford University, could
not be more supportive. There should be overflow
participation, enthusiastic crowds and good color.
St. Petersburg, Florida: The Williams Park event should
be very well attended. The theme is an old fashioned
political rally with blue grass bands, cloggers, hats
and signs.
Tampa, Florida: The La Tropicana restaurant event offers
a chance for the Vice President to discuss concerns of
the Hispanics in Florida. In addition to substantive
issues that might be discussed at the La Tropicana, there
is also potential for very good crowd support and color.
The Strawberry Festival will be well attended and
provides opportunities for some good press coverage
during the walking tour.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida: A Reagan-Bush barbecue is the
last rally of the Tour. In keeping with our "down home"
theme, the barbecue will be a very lively and fun event.
Photo opportunities include the Vice President
barbecuing and a presentation of a Reagan-Bush apron.
Enclosed please find the latest draft schedule for these
events. (See Tab A)
440 First Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001 (202) 383-1984
Paid for by Reagan-Bush '84: Paul Laxalt, Chairman; Angela M. Buchanan Jackson, Treasurer
2. COORDINATION WITH VICE PRESIDENTIAL ADVANCE
Meetings have taken place between the Vice Presidential
Advance office and the CEO advance office in order to
facilitate a better understanding of the relationship
between the two groups. A checklist is being developed
to outline the general responsibilities of both offices.
Reports from the road have been positive with respect to
the cooperation between the Reagan-Bush advancemen and
the VP advancemen.
3. SECOND VICE PRESIDENTIAL SOUTHERN TOUR
Steve Studdert and Andrew Littlefair surveyed Jackson,
Mississippi, Columbia, South Carolina, Asheville, North
Carolina and Louisville, Kentucky this past weekend.
Advance teams will be dropped in these cities beginning
Monday, March 5th.
Enclosed please find a proposed draft schedule for this
tour. (See Tab B)
II. SCHEDULING
1. MAUREEN REAGAN
There still seems to be some difficulty in coordinating
Maureen's schedule with Reagan-Bush Scheduling. Her staff
has agreed to give R-B a listing of events she has
accepted for the next few months. Tish and Sarah will
meet with M.J. Jamison and Suzanne Rich, Maureen's
scheduler at the RNC Speaker's Bureau, and continue to
work on developing a system for including more campaign
appearances in her schedule.
Maureen's schedulers are following our primary focus
schedule as they plan the rest of her speaking schedule.
They are attempting to accept mainly invitations in
cities and states during the 10-day cycle preceding
primaries and caucuses.
2. DEVELOPMENT OF CREATED EVENTS
It has become obvious that the bulk of events scheduled
by Reagan-Bush for our surrogates will have to be events
we create or for which we solicit invitations.
Unsolicited requests being received by the Campaign are
not of the calibre we would require for a Cabinet
officer, at least at this date.
In order to avoid relying strictly on the Advance team to
find opportunities for created events, R-B Scheduling is
working through the Regional Campaign Directors (RCD) to
develop our state contacts for event planning. None of
the RCDs have objected to having Scheduling contact these
people directly. Any event proposals that result from
these state contacts will be run by the RCD for that
area for approval.
3. FUTURE TARGET STATES
Immediately following the New Hampshire primary, Sarah,
Tish and I met with Dick Wirthlin and Chuck Runde. The
purpose of this meeting was to discuss how the different
information analysis programs being developed by
Wirthlin's office can be applied to Scheduling and
Surrogates. In addition to this, however, we also got a
good feel for what states we should focus on during the
next few months, based on recent polling data.
We are collecting ideas for events in the next tier of
states following the Southern Swing: Illinois (after
the primary), Michigan, Texas, New York, Ohio,
Washington, Oregon, and Colorado. (Denver)
4. PRESIDENTIAL VISIT TO OHIO
Enclosed please find a copy of a proposal that has been
submitted to Ed Rollins for a presidential trip to Ohio.
Approval has not been received as of this date.
(See Tab C)
5. ACTION UPDATE
Enclosed you will find an Action Update and cover memo
highlighting the status of all scheduled events.
(See Tab D)
III. SPEAKERS
1. CABINET OFFICERS
With the guidance of Ed Rollins and Dick Wirthlin, we are
asking the each of the Cabinet Officers for 1 day to
concentrate activities in the Southern states for the
next three weeks.
2. CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP
With the delay in the Congressional leadership's briefing
(slated for March 13), we are contacting congressional
members to build a group of speakers who can be scheduled
to respond with two days' notice.
3. SUPER SURROGATES
The development of this group has been slow but we have
met with Senator George Murphy who is willing to make
contact with former cabinet officers from the Nixon
Administration.
4.
ATHLETES FOR REAGAN-BUSH
Dick Schrafrath was in the office for two days this week,
compiling additional names of committed athletes -- Rocky
Bleir, Dick "Moe" Modzelewski, John Riggins, Jerry Rhome,
just to name a few. Dick will be visiting the baseball
camps in Florida. Based on the results from that trip,
he may visit Arizona for the remainder of the camps.
At the moment, Dick is only being reimbursed for
expenses.
5. ENTERTAINMENT
According to Michele Davis, Morgan Mason is coming to
DC in mid-March. She suggested we get in touch with
our 1980 contact, Goldie Arthur, to get the 1980
list and check with A.C. Lyles, a producer, for his
list of known supporters. We will meet with Ed
Rollins and Morgan Mason to find out where the
miscommunication has been in this department.
6. WOMEN FOR REAGAN
The meeting we are having with Sonia Landau should
bring the women speakers in focus. I have spoken
with Nancy Reynolds and she is willing to take an
honorary Chairperson role if it does not interfere
with Betty Heitman's or Maureen Reagan's groups.
She is reluctant to be involved in a women's
speakers bureau due to the different political
factions that have popped up.

MEMORANDUM FOR MICHAEL A. McMANUS, JR.
FROM:
DAN W. MORRIS
SUBJECT:
Weekly Report on Campaign Event Operations #4
I. ADVANCE
1. IOWA
I feel that the Iowa trips went very well and exceeded
our expectations of crowd and press. From discussions
with Jim Hooley, the operational interaction of the
two offices went well but we feel we can improve the
situation by having a trip meeting before the pre-advance
to discuss the objectives and concerns of both offices.
2. NEW HAMPSHIRE
New Hampshire Bus Tour: Despite an eleventh hour
cancellation of Congressman Kemp on Thursday night, the
Friday portion of the bus tour went very well. Kemp's
replacements of Congressmen Vin Weber and Duncan Hunter,
with lay celebrity Lyn Nofziger, successfully offered
the opportunity to try out an attack operation on Walter
Mondale. Secretary Heckler proved to be a real
campaigner and pleasantly shocked the advance staff with
her crowd appeal and handling of the media.
The Saturday bus tour went equally as well with Senator
Baker, Secretary Dole and Senator Dole very complimentary
of the operation. I have enclosed various news clippings
for your information. (See Tab A)
NOTE: The national press coverage
was practically non-existent
but I do feel that it was noted.
The local and regional coverage
was surprising. I do feel I made
an error in the Saturday bus tour
participants; I think the story
will be more of "Dole and Baker,
The Class of '88".
440 First Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001 (202) 383-1984
Paid for by Reagan-Bush '84: Paul Laxalt, Chairman; Angela M. Buchanan Jackson, Treasurer
Primary Night: The event is in order and I have enclosed
Maureen Reagan's schedule of events. (See Tab B)
NOTE: Jim Lake and Roger Stone will be
with Maureen Reagan in case the
write-in ballot question comes up
on Primary Night.
3. SOUTHERN TOUR
Steve Studdert has conducted a survey of the Southern
Tour and we have presented a proposed schedule to the
Vice President's office. (See Tab C) The schedule will
be returned to us with additions and deletions by close
of business, Monday, February 27. The only problem I
forsee is the VP press office's desire to conduct
one-on-one interviews and press conferences. In
consulting with Jim Lake, he agrees with the fact that
this type of media exposure is competing with the
campaign environment that we are portraying.
NOTE: Studdert has done an excellent
job on the site survey.
II. SCHEDULING
1. MAUREEN REAGAN
Sarah Long met with M.J. Jamison and reviewed our 10-week
schedule, covering target cities and focus dates. It
appears that Maureen has a full schedule until April but
is willing to work in Reagan-Bush '84 events.
2. CABINET OFFICERS
Communications with the Cabinet Officers' staff remain
very good. Might I suggest that Under Secretaries may
need some type of guidance on official travel from
Fred Ryan's operation.
3. ACTION UPDATE
Enclosed you will find an Action Update and cover memo
highlighting the status of all scheduled events.
(See Tab D)
III. SPEAKERS
1. CABINET OFFICERS
After the New Hampshire bus tour, I feel Secretary
Heckler and Secretary Dole were very pleased with the
operation and I think we have their confidence for future
events.
2. CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP
The Congressional briefing has been changed from Tuesday,
February 28 to Tuesday, March 13. The change was made to
accommodate Drew Lewis' and key Congressional leadership'
schedules.
3. SUPER SURROGATES
Senator Laxalt and Clif White appear to be moving on the
development of the Super Surrogate-list.
4. ATHLETES FOR REAGAN
From the discussion in our meeting with Rollins, Lake
and Atwater, we are prepared to have Dick Schafrath
assume more of a role of an Honorary, unpaid Chairman,
while cultivating your contact as more of the operational
person. If you could give me, at your earliest
convenience, a contact number, I will proceed with our
plan. Enclosed please find the "Athletes for Reagan"
press release. (See Tab E)
I am also submitting the "Breakfast of Champions"
proposal for your approval/disapproval and comments.
(See Tab F)
5. ENTERTAINMENT
As a result of our discussions, we are preparing the
operational procedures for Morgan Mason so that he
can clearly understand our objectives and procedures.
NOTE: Tish and Morgan exchanged phone
calls on Friday but we were not
able to get a progress update on
the entertainer list that we
submitted to him. If we do not
receive satisfactory results by
Wednesday, February 29th, I will
ask Ed Rollins to place a call.
6. WOMEN FOR REAGAN
I have a clear understanding of how you would like this
operation to proceed. Tish has been briefed and
will make contact with Betty Heitman and Sonia Landau.

FROM:
DAN W. MORRIS
SUBJECT:
Weekly Report on Campaign Event Operations #3
I. ADVANCE
1. IOWA
As of today (Monday, February 20, 12:00 noon),
the President's trip seems to be in good shape at
the capable hands of Jim Hooley, John Gartland,
and Andy Littlefair. The combined attendance for
Waterloo and Des Moines should exceed 13,000 people.
In financial terms, these events will come in under
$65,000, which reflects a savings of $35,000 below
the orginal budget estimate.
The communication between the campaign and the
White House may have had a shaky start, but as
the advance progressed, it went from poor to
excellent. I feel we have developed a good system
that just needed some fine tuning. I will sit down with
Hooley and Henkel for a post-event wrap-up to get
their impressions of the system.
NOTE: Please see pending memo to
Ed Rollins reflecting future
scheduling procedures.
(See Tab A)
2. NEW HAMPSHIRE
The Vice Presidential event in Concord exceeded our
expectations. Although Lou Cannon quoted a crowd of
700 persons (typical), the actual attendance was well
over 2,000. The event made good local coverage and two
small shots on the networks on the Sunday evening news.
440 First Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001 (202) 383-1984
Paid for by Reagan-Bush '84: Paul Laxalt. Chairman: Angela M. Buchanan Jackson, Treasurer
The New Hampshire Bus Tour is coming together very well
and seems to be drawing a great deal of interest. The
only missing ingredient is national press traveling on
the tour. Jim Lake is aware of the situation and is
working on drumming up the press. As a back-up, Bob
Schmidt is checking to see what national press will
be in the area so that we can alert Lake's operation.
Enclosed please find the updated New Hampshire Bus
Tour schedule. (See Tab B)
Primary Night: We have briefed, Maureen Reagan on the
Primary Night event and she seems to be excited about
the prospect of the local news coverage.
3. SOUTHERN TOUR
Steve Studdert is on board and waiting for the go ahead
on a survey of Florida and Georgia. The Florida
political operation has not gotten back to us with
their recommendations on "types of events". If we
have not received word by COB Tuesday, February 21, we
will proceed with the survey on Wednesday, February 22.
NOTE: Lou Kitchen is aware of the
situation and concurs with
the idea of proceeding with
the site survey.
II. SCHEDULING
1. MAUREEN REAGAN
Sarah Long will meet with M.J. Jamison to discuss
Maureen's upcoming schedule. I have met with Maureen
and she agrees with our scheduling concept. She will
begin to block out 2 to 3 days a month for our events.
2. CABINET OFFICERS
The Cabinet Officers' schedules are beginning to clear
in late March and early April. Sarah is concentrating
on events that we need to do on focus dates for
primaries which occur in April and May.
3. ACTION UPDATE
Enclosed you will find an Action Update and cover
memo highlighting the status of all scheduled events.
(See Tab C)
4. STATE BY STATE SCHEDULED SPEAKERS
Enclosed you will find a listing of all the speakers'
schedules by state and the justification behind these
scheduled appearances. (See Tab D)
III. SPEAKERS
1. CABINET OFFICERS
The working relationship with the Cabinet Officers'
staffs has been very good. Following the suggestion
of yourself and Ed Rollins, we are not using a
chartered aircraft for Secretary Regan's trips to New
York and Dallas.
2. CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS
Ken Duberstein has arranged for a Senate and House
Leadership briefing and recruitment session on
Tuesday, February 28th. This briefing will be similar
to the Cabinet briefing held earlier this month, with
a follow-up briefing of key congressional staff on
Thursday, March lst.
3. SUPER SURROGATES
Clif White has agreed to develop a list of super
surrogates for Senator Laxalt to contact. This list
should be completed by Tuesday, February 28 and delivered
for Senator Laxalt's review on Wednesday, February 29.
I will forward a copy of this list to you with a
progress report when it becomes available.
4. ATHLETES FOR REAGAN
Dick Schafrath will meet with Tish on Tuesday,
February 21 to finalize the plan for the recruitment
and announcement of the Athletes for Reagan-Bush program.
Enclosed please find a list of athletes which have
already been recruited. (See Tab E)
5. ENTERTAINMENT
A list of potential entertainers for Reagan-Bush was
forwarded to Morgan Mason for his review on Wednesday,
February 15. We will receive an update report from
Morgan on Friday, February 24. Enclosed you will find
a copy of the "wish" list forwarded to Morgan.
(See Tab F)
6. WOMEN FOR REAGAN-BUSH
I have met with Sonia Landau, Director of Women for
Reagan-Bush, and she is developing a list of speakers
for our use, both regionally and nationally. This list
will reflect input from Maureen Reagan, Betty Heitman
and Sonia. The first draft of this list should be
completed by Friday, February 24.
IV. CEO PERSONNEL
Steve Studdert has come aboard and I feel will work out very
well. We had a good meeting during which we outlined his
role and I think he is happy with the relationship.
Brent Johnson (advanceman) came aboard this week. Patrice
Malone (Scheduling) will start February 23 and Anne Coudert
(Scheduling) will begin February 27. Joan Wolfe (Speakers)
will also begin February 27.

Weekly Report on Campaign Event Operations #2
I. ADVANCE/SCHEDULING
1. IOWA
The Vice Presidential Event is in good order. We have a
good combination of color events that I feel will provide
good press coverage. Enclosed please find an updated draft
schedule and a list of press manifested on Air Force II.
(See Tab A)
NOTE: If the Vice Presidential Event is cancelled,
we are preparing to have a surrogate conduct
the press interviews, attend the luncheon
and the high school event. We are presently
checking on Cabinet Officers' availability.
The President's trip to Waterloo and Des Moines is well
underway. Frank Mermoud has begun setting up committees
for ticket distribution, crowd building, volunteer
organization, transportation, office support, entertainment
and building the "color element". The site-survey will be
conducted by Jim Hooley on Monday, February 13. Andrew
Littlefair will be the lead in Waterloo and as of this
date, a lead in Des Moines has not been selected. Frank
Mermoud is conducting daily meetings with the local
organizations but is not working on any movements, programs
or event designs.
NOTE: WHO has been dropped from the proposed
schedule. No contact has been made with
Palmer Broadcast and it can be easily
turned on.

2. NEW HAMPSHIRE
The Vice President's rally in Concord is coming together.
It should be a real New Hampshire-style event that will
capture a great deal of state media coverage. The Vice
President's advance team will be on the ground Sunday,
February 12. Attached please find a draft schedule
for this event. (See Tab B)
NOTE: As in Iowa, if this event is cancelled
we are preparing to send in a surrogate.
The New Hampshire Bus Tour had a shaky beginning but the
advance team (headed by Judd Swift) has done a survey
that revealed several colorful events, both crowd and
human interest. Andy Littlefair is presently in New
Hampshire as a supervisor to make sure that the bus
tour is properly put together. Enclosed please find
proposed New Hampshire Bus Tour Schedule. (See Tab C)
Primary Night - I have spoken with Maureen Reagan and
she is reconsidering the Manchester Holiday Inn
Primary Night event. Enclosed is the proposed
schedule. (See Tab D)
3. SOUTHERN TOUR
We have submitted to the Vice President's office a
Southern Tour package for March. The proposal is a
result of information collected from polling data,
input from the Regional Campaign Director and the
application of the 10-day cycle concept. The proposal
is being adjusted by the Vice President's office. After
we receive the revised schedule, it will be distributed
to Ed Rollins, Lee Atwater, Jim Lake and yourself for
approval and comments. Enclosed please find the orignial
Southern Tour Proposal. (See Tab E)
4. ACTION UPDATE
Enclosed you will find an Action Update and cover
memo highlighting the status of all scheduled events.
(See Tab F)
II. SURROGATES
1. CABINET OFFICERS
The response so far has been excellent. All Cabinet
Officers' staff have cooperated completely.
2. CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS
Drew Lewis is planning a leadership luncheon to recruit
members of Congress for the Surrogate Speakers Program.
This luncheon is proposed for Tuesday, February 21. We
will be working with Drew Lewis' office on the details
and arrangements for the luncheon and we will update
you as plans are finalized.
3. SUPER SURROGATES
Senator Laxalt has proposed a super surrogate group
(i.e. Gerald Ford, Melvin Laird, John Connally). He
will ask his daughter Michelle to head up this project.
Dan Morris and Tish Maher will meet with the Senator
at his earliest convenience to formulate this plan.
4. ENTERTAINMENT
The recruiting of this group has been slow. Lee Atwater
informs us that Morgan Mason is the person that will make
contact with this group of surrogates. We have been in
touch with Morgan several times and he appears to be
involved in several promotions. We are actively
researching magazines and newspapers for leads on
potential entertainers who support the President. If
Morgan does not come through, we will take the appropriate
action to contact the people directly.
5. SPORTS FIGURES
Dick Schafrath has been selected by Lyn Nofziger as the
head of Athletes for Reagan-Bush. Dick is very
enthusiastic and has some "grand" but expensive ideas for
this program. Tish is presently working with Dick to
explain the realities of a political campaign.
I feel this will be on track within the next week.
6. SURROGATE APPEARANCES
Enclosed for your information is a summary and
justification for upcoming surrogate speaker events.
(See Tab G)
III. CEO PERSONNEL
Andrew Littlefair and Mike Lake (Advance) came on board this
week. Patrice Malone (Scheduling) will start February 22
and Joan Wolfe will probably start at the end of the month.
We are waiting for a final acceptance or declination from
Anne Coudert (Scheduling)
