MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
ED ROLLINS
SUBJECT:
NEW JERSEY - POLITICAL BRIEFING
I. SUMMARY
Republican U.S. Congresswoman Millicent Fenwick is in a
good position to defeat Democrat business executive Frank
Lautenberg in New Jersey's U.S. Senate race. Fenwick, 72, who is
currently serving her fourth term in the U.S. House, won the
Republican U.S. Senate nomination in New Jersey's June 8 primary
over conservative Jeff Bell by a 54% to 46% margin. Lautenberg won
the Democrat nomination over nine other contenders with 26% of the
vote. Although both candidates are considered to be on the liberal
side of many social issues, the two have sharply different outlooks
on economic matters. Lautenberg is very critical of the
Administration's economic program, while Fenwick supports
the Administration's "new direction."
A poll commissioned by the Fenwick campaign 10 days after the
June primary showed Fenwick with a commanding 25-point lead over
Lautenberg. However, Fenwick has decided not to accept
contributions from political action committees. On the other hand,
Lautenberg, a self-made millionaire, is committed to spending
"whatever is necessary to close the gap against Fenwick."
MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT - PAGE 2
If Fenwick's campaign is successful, she will succeed
Republican U.S. Senator Nicholas Brady. Brady, an investment
banker, was appointed to the Senate by Republican Governor Tom Kean
last April, after the resignation of Democrat U.S. Senator Harrison
Williams. Upon his appointment, Brady agreed not to seek election
to a full U.S. Senate term.
New Jersey's U.S. House delegation has been reduced from 15 to
14 members because of reapportionment. Republican incumbents
facing re-election difficulties are Chris Smith (4th District),
Matt Rinaldo (7th District), and Cap Hollenbeck (9th District).
Republican state Assemblywoman Marie Muhler is waging a strong
challenge to Democrat incumbent Jim Howard in the 3rd District.
The Reagan-Bush ticket carried New Jersey by a 52% to 39%
margin in 1972.
Republican Governor Tom Kean, elected by a razor-thin margin
over Democrat U.S. Congressman Jim Florio in 1981, has recently
been hospitalized with severe back problems. However, Governor
Kean expects to be able to attend some of the events associated
with the Presidential visit to New Jersey.

DISCUSSION
A. THE U.S. SENATE RACE - 1982
Republican U.S. Congresswoman Millicent Fenwick is currently
favored to defeat Democrat business executive Frank Lautenberg in
New Jersey's U.S. Senate race. If successful, Fenwick will succeed
Republican U.S. Senator Nicholas Brady who was appointed last April
by Republican Governor Tom Kean to fill the remainder of Democrat
U.S. Senator Harrison Williams' unexpired term. Williams, who had
served in the U.S. Senate since 1959, was indicted and convicted on
MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT - PAGE 4
federal charges arising from the Abscam investigation and resigned
his office last March to avoid almost certain expulsion.
After Williams' resignation, newly elected Republican Governor
Tom Kean chose business executive Nicholas Brady to fill the vacancy
with the understanding that Brady would not seek election to a full
term. This arrangement avoided an intraparty controversy which
would have developed had Kean appointed one of the candidates
already vying for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination.
Millicent Fenwick, a 72-year-old four-term U.S. Congresswoman
from Bernardsville, won the Republican U.S. Senate nomination in the
June 8 primary over conservative Jeff Bell by a 54% to 46% margin.
Bell, who once served as a policy advisor to Governor Reagan in
California, gained notoriety in 1978 by defeating Republican
incumbent U.S. Senator Clifford Case in the GOP Senate primary, but
was defeated by Democrat Bill Bradley in the general election.
Fenwick graduated from Columbia University in 1933. Before
entering politics, Fenwick had a varied career which included her
editorship of Vogue magazine. In 1958, she was elected to the
Bernardsville Borough Council. She served in the New Jersey
General Assembly from 1969 until 1972, when she was appointed State
Director of Consumer Affairs. Fenwick was elected to the U.S.
Congress from New Jersey's 5th Congressional District in 1974 with
55% of the vote. She won subsequent re-elections to Congress by
increasingly greater margins. In 1980, she won her fourth term in
the House with 78% of the vote. Fenwick currently serves on the
Foreign Affairs Committee, the Education and Labor Committee, and
the Select Committee on Aging. She is generally regarded as a
MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT - PAGE 5
liberal on social issues, but basically has a conservative outlook
on economic matters. In 1981, she supported the Administration's
position "down-the-line" on tax and spending reductions. She voted
in favor of the tax-reform bill this past August. Last week,
however, she broke with the Administration and voted in favor of
overriding the President's veto of the $14.2 billion supplemental
appropriations bill.
In the crowded Democrat primary field, businessman Frank
Lautenberg, a computer company board chairman, won the Democrat
U.S. Senate nomination with 26% of the vote. Lautenberg's primary
victory is largely attributed to the $2 million which he spent to
gain name identification among the state's Democrat voters.
Spending has become a very visible issue in the race.
Lautenberg has recently stated that he will spend "whatever is
necessary" to defeat Fenwick. The Democrat is expected to spend
close to $3 million, with a heavy concentration on television
advertising purchased in the expensive New York and Philadelphia
media markets.
Fenwick, who has called the sums spent on political campaigns
"obscene," has twice suggested that expenditures for this year's
Senate race in New Jersey be limited. However, both of her
proposed spending ceilings of $800,000 and $1.6 million, have been
rejected by Lautenberg.
Fenwick has refused to accept money from political action
committees and special interest groups. Fenwick's campaign placed
a full-page advertisement in last Sunday's New York Times stating,
"Millicent Fenwick can't be bought, that's why she needs your money."
MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT - PAGE 6
Fenwick's campaign expects to raise a total budget of about
$1 million for the general election.
Lautenberg is stressing his personal success story as a poor
boy who made good, becoming a self-made millionaire by building a
small computer data company into a huge corporation employing
thousands of workers. Lautenberg claims that as a U.S. Senator he
would use his business experience to help bring jobs and economic
development to New Jersey. Lautenberg is an ardent critic of the
Administration's economic program, and he is calling for the repeal
of the third year of the tax cut.
Fenwick, on the other hand, has embraced the Administration's
economic program as the "new direction" so badly needed after
years of reckless spending and exorbitant taxes.
The Fenwick campaign is focusing on three major themes:
Fenwick's government experience on the local, state and federal
levels; her unquestioned reputation for honesty and integrity; and,
her independent-mindedness, free from special interest influences,
which will allow her to vote for what is clearly in the best
interest of her New Jersey constituents.
To date the only available polling data on this race is a poll
conducted by Steve Sallmore of Rutgers University shortly after the
June 8 primary which showed Fenwick with a commanding lead over
Lautenberg. Among all voters she held a 25-point lead (48%-23%).
That lead increased to 28 points (52%-24%) among likely votes.
The wide Fenwick lead in the polls will undoubtedly narrow as
Lautenberg becomes better known. However, Fenwick has a widespread
reputation for personal candor and irreverent charm. In fact,
MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT - PAGE 7
Fenwick is the basis for the Doonesbury comic strip character Lacey
Davenport. Although the comic strip character has gained Fenwick
even greater public recognition, her campaign does not see this
association as an asset during the campaign.
Fenwick remains in a good position to defeat Lautenberg this
November.
B. THE U.S. HOUSE RACES - 1982
New Jersey's U.S. House delegation will be reduced from 15 to
14 members because of reapportionment. On the last day of Democrat
Governor Brendan Byrne's term, he signed into law a Democrat
orchestrated redistricting plan designed to favor the Democrats.
Republican court litigation failed to stop the partisan Democrat
plan from taking effect. However, Republicans project that they
could possibly break even in the New Jersey's Congressional races.
The Republicans begin with a one-seat loss in the state.
The district currently represented by Republican U.S. Senate
nominee Millicent Fenwick has been eliminated, with parts of her old
district going into several newly drawn districts. The Democrat
redistricting plan forced three Republican incumbent Congressmen -
Chris Smith, Matt Rinaldo, and Cap Hollenbeck - to seek re-election
in less favorable districts. However, polling data shows that
Smith currently leads Democrat former state Senate President Joseph
Merlino in the 4th District; Rinaldo leads Democrat former state
Consumer Affairs director Adam Levin in the 7th District, and
Hollenbeck leads Democrat Robert Torricelli, a former aide to Vice
President Mondale, in the 9th District.
Republican incumbent House members Marge Roukema (5th
MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT - PAGE 8
District), Jim Courter (12th District), and Ed Forsythe (13th
District) should all win re-election by comfortable margins.
In the 3rd Congressional District, Democrat incumbent James
Howard is considered vulnerable. State Assemblywoman Marie Muhler
easily won the Republican nomination to challenge Howard. In 1980,
Muhler came within 1,100 votes of defeating Howard, who was first
elected to Congress in 1964. This year Muhler will get maximum
assistance from the National Republican campaign committees.
Muhler is running a strong race and has a good chance of defeating
Howard this year.
C. LABOR SECRETARY RAY DONOVAN
Labor Secretary Ray Donovan served as the New Jersey
Reagan-Bush State Chairman during the general election campaign.
Secretary Donovan and New Jersey Republican State Chairman Philip
Kaltenbacher continue to have numerous disagreements over political
matters within the state. Donovan will be in Georgia on Friday to
award a Department of Labor grant, and to attend a fundraising
event for Republican gubernatorial nominee Bob Bell in Atlanta.

BRIEFING REPORT: SAN GENNARO FESTIVAL
Flemington, New Jersey
The Second Annual San Gennaro Festival is sponsered by the
Hunterdon County Italian-American Club. San Gennaro, the patron
saint of the bay of Naples, Italy, it is said, guarded over the
immigrants of the early 1900's as they passed through this bay.
The week long festival is expected to draw over 100,000 attendees.
The proceeds of the fair raised from the rental of booths for food,
rides and parking, will help to sponser college scholarships for
children of Italian heritage. In 1981, one senior from each of five
public high schools received a $500.00 scholarship. This year's
hope is to increase the amount given to each to $2,500.00.
