MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
ED ROLLINS
DATE:
JULY 28, 1983
SUBJECT:
POLITICAL BRIEFING --- GEORGIA
STATE POLITICAL BACKGROUND
Since 1948, Georgia has only voted Republican in 2 of 9 presidential
elections (1964 for Barry Goldwater; 1972 for Richard Nixon).
Georgia has elected only one Republican Senator in its history -
incumbent Mack Mattingly.
The state has not elected a Republican governor since Reconstruction.
Georgia is a major manufacturing state in textiles, apparel, wood
products - (69% of Georgia's land is covered by forests) - transportation
equipment, chemicals, food processing, airplanes and mobile homes.
State agricultural products include cotton, peaches, peanuts, livestock
and Georgia leads the nation in poultry production.
Federal military establishments pump billions of dollars into Georgia's
economy each year -- they include Ft. Benning, Warner Robins Air Force
Base, Ft. Stewart, Ft. Gordon, and Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base.
Tourism is down since the defeat of Jimmy Carter in 1980.
The state has made enormous strides in race relations - each year it
attracts thousands of talented blacks.
18 Georgia counties have majority black populations, yet only 6 have
majority black voter registration.
Atlanta has become one of America's most vibrant cities as it has
become a major corporate and business center.
1984 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
Georgia Republicans will send 37 delegates to the 1984 Republican
National Convention.
Georgia will have 12 electoral votes in 1984.
Georgia was among the 6 states plus the District of Columbia carried by
Jimmy Carter in 1980.
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Page 2
President Reagan finished second with 41% of the statewide popular vote
in 1980 and received only 34% of the Fulton County (Atlanta) vote.
The state Democratic and Republican presidential primaries are sched-
uled to be held on March 13, 1984.
-- This date has become known as "Super Tuesday" because
of the number of Democratic convention delegates up for grabs.
--- Georgia is one of nine states holding Democratic primaries or
caucuses on that date.
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
Members of the host committee for a June Mondale reception in Atlanta
included Jack Watson, former Carter White House chief of staff; Dorothy
Padgett, former Carter political protocol chief; Robert Lipshutz,
former council to Carter; and former ambassadors Philip Alston and
William B. Schwartz, Jr., all of the Atlanta area.
Members of the Carter White House who have yet to endorse a candidate
include former White House Chief of Staff Hamilton Jordan; former
Office of Management and Budget Director Bert Lance, the current Demo-
cratic State Party Chairman; and former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young.
Sen. John Glenn has hired Alan McLeod to co-ordinate his Georgia
efforts.
McLeod is working with Chris Valley, a social services administrator
for a private, non-profit agency and former chairman of the Georgia
Young Democrats, to contact members of religious and welfare
organizations and political groups for financial and/or volunteer
help.
U.S. Rep. Robert Lindsay Thomas has endorsed Glenn.
Over 200 Georgians have volunteered to work on the Glenn Campaign.
House Speaker Tom Murphy and Lt. Gov. Zell Miller have both endorsed
former Governor Reubin Askew.
Sen. Ernest Hollings has appointed a full-time co-ordinator in
Georgia.
Sen. Gary Hart has named Atlanta attorney David Garrett III as his
co-ordinator in Georgia. Garrett is working on a volunteer basis from
his office.
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT

Conservative Rep. Newt Gingrich, Georgia's only Republican congressman,
has stated that gains by Sen. Alan Cranston in his campaign for the
Democratic presidential nomination represent the emergence of a new
"radical" wing of the Democratic party.
STATE POLITICAL SUMMARY
U.S. Senate:
In 1984, incumbent Democrat Sam Nunn will be running for election for a
third term. The entire Georgia Congressional delegation has endorsed
Nunn, including Republican Rep. Newt Gingrich and Senator Mack
Mattingly. No Republican opposition is expected.
Governor:
State Representative Joe Frank Harris, a conservative Democrat, de-
feated Republican state Senator Bob Bell by a 63% to 37% margin. Bell
is now the State Chairman of Georgia's Republican party.
U.S. House of Representatives:
1 Republican
9 Democrats

Paul Jones received 5%.
State legislature:
Republicans are in the minority in both houses of the state
legislature. In 1982, however, the GOP did post a gain of 2 seats in
the Senate, while recording no losses in the state House. The current
party make-up is:
State Senate:
7 Republicans
49 Democrats
State House:
24 Republicans
156 Democrats

STATE PARTY UPDATE
On May 21, the Georgia Republican Party elected new officers.
-- Former state Senator Bob Bell retained his chairmanship of the
party. Bell lost in his bid for the governorship in 1982.
-- Tom Hocaday, a professional political operative from Texas, has been
hired as the new executive director in a total overhaul of the
party's entire professional staff.
Programs being developed by the party include:
-- new long term party plan for the '84 elections to cover 1 or 2 tar-
geted Congressional races, legislative elections, and the presiden-
tial election. (Democrat Gov. Harris has admitted that wresting the
southern region of the country away from Reagan will be extremely
difficult.)
-- new long term financial plan.
-- targeted polling program.
-- organizing a strong voter identification program, especially in the
suburban areas.
--- designing outreach into the rural/farm communities - especially
difficult areas for Republicans in 1982.

CONGRESSMAN NEWT GINGRICH
(R-Georgia)
Congressman Gingrich is regarded by many of his Republican
colleagues, particularly his contemporaries, as one of the
more imaginative and innovative younger Members on issues
of party concern. The Congressman has been a consistent
supporter of the President, though he opposed the Adminis-
tration on the issue of IMF. He has made recommendations
on how Republicans might gain control of the House and how
the Administration might present the Central American issue
to the public to garner their support.
A member of the Public Works and Transportation and the House
Administration Committees, Gingrich has taken an active
interest in defense issues. An appropriate characterization
would be that of a "reformer." "
The Congressman is married and has two daughters. He received
a Ph.D. degree from Tulane University and was on the faculty
of West Georgia College. He is serving his third term
representing west-central Georgia, and is on the Executive
Committee of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
SENATOR MACK MATTINGLY (R-GEORGIA)
Senator Mack Mattingly was born January 7, 1931 in Anderson,
Indiana. He served in the Air Force from 1951-1955, and attended
college at Indiana University, graduating in 1957. He moved to
Georgia from Indiana in 1959 to become a corporate executive with
IBM. He currently resides in St. Simons Island, Georgia.
Mattingly is married to the former Carolyn Longcamp and has
two children.
Senator Mattingly became active in politics in the 1964
Goldwater Presidential campaign. In 1966 he ran unsucessfully
as a Republican for the U.S. House of Representatives, he then
went into Republican organizational work serving as state
party chairman from 1975-1977.
Mattingly defeated Senator Herman Talmadge, a Georgia insti-
tution, in 1980 with 51% of the vote. He is the first
Republican Senator elected by popular vote in Georgia history
and the state's first GOP Senator since reconstruction.
In the Senate, Mattingly serves on the Senate Appropriations
Committee, where he chairs the Legislative Branch Subcommittee,
the Governmental Affairs Committee, the Joint Economic
Committee, and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics.
As Chairman of the Legislative Appropriations Subcommittee,
Mattingly called for a 10% cut in Senate Committee expendi-
tures thereby urging the Congress to tighten its belt just as
the Administration was urging for the rest of the Government.
In the Senate, Mattingly has expressed a particular interest in
trade policy. He visited with you earlier this year to discuss
his specific thoughts on trade issues. Mattingly has
consistently opposed tax increases of any kind during his
service in the Senate.
Senator Mattingly has expressed some reservations about your
Civil Rights Commission nominees.
