MEMORANDUM FOR DICK DARMAN
FROM:
KEN DUBERSTEIN ter D.
Attached is biographical information on the Members of
Congress who will be joining the President for his trip
to Louisville, Kentucky.
Accompanying the President on Air Force I to Louisville
will be Congressman Hal Rogers and Congressman Gene
Snyder. Mrs. Shirley Rogers will be joining in the
Presidential motorcade at the airport and traveling
with the Presidential party throughout the day. No
members will be returning on Air Force I to Washington.
CONGRESSMAN HAL ROGERS
(Republican-Kentucky)
Hal Rogers is a Sophomore Republican from Kentucky's
Fifth District (southeastern part of state). He serves
on the House Appropriations Committee.
Hal has been a strong supporter of most Administration-
backed legislative initiatives. However, at various times
he has expressed concern over Administration policies
relating to agriculture. Hal did not support the Caribbean
Basin Initiative earlier this year, for example, because he
did not feel that there were adequate safeguards for domestic
tobacco growers.
Hal has met with the President and attended numerous White
House events. This will be his first trip on Air Force I
since initially being elected to Congress in 1980.
CONGRESSMAN GENE SNYDER
(Republican - Kentucky)
Gene Snyder is an eighth-term Republican from Kentucky's Fourth
District (northwestern edge of State including the area surround-
ing Louisville). He is the ranking Republican Member of the
House Committee on Public Works and Transportation, and he is
the second ranking Republican on the House Merchant Marine and
Fisheries Committee.
Gene has been a consistent supporter of Administration-backed
legislative initiatives, particularly with respect to defense
and aggregate economic policy issues. In his leadership position
on the Public Works Committee, he was particularly helpful last
year during consideration of the omnibus highway bill (H.R. 6211).
Gene has attended numerous White House events and has met with
the President. This will be his first trip on Air Force I
during this Administration.
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
ER/mmd
FROM:
ED ROLLINS
DATE:
OCTOBER 5, 1983
SUBJECT:
KENTUCKY - POLITICAL BRIEFING
STATE POLITICAL BACKGROUND
Democrats have controlled most of the state's political power since the
Civil War.
Kentuckians have voted Republican in 5 of 9 presidential elections
since 1948.
Republicans won virtually every U.S. Senate election between 1940 and
the late 1960s.
Kentucky has a 7% black population, but race relations have never
really been at issue. In 1968, George Wallace received only 18% of the
Kentucky vote compared to 34% in Tennessee.
Kentucky is known for its thoroughbred horses, coal, bourbon whiskey,
bluegrass and tourism.
In the early years of the nation, Kentucky was the Golden West and its
Henry Clay was one of America's greatest statesmen.
Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809 on Sinking Springs farm on the Nolin
River in Kentucky. Within a year, Jefferson Davis was born on a
frontier farm in the Pennyroyal section of Kentucky.
The Civil War caused deep splits in the state's society and politics,
as Kentucky's legislature voted to align with the Union but thousands
joined confederate units. Originally the state tried to remain
neutral.
Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 2-1 margin in
Kentucky.
Kentucky has attracted less industry than either Mississippi or
Arkansas.
Kentucky's population grew 13.7% in the 1970s.
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Page 2
Kentucky's per capita income in 1980 was only $7,613 -- 46th among the
states and down from 41st in the 1970s.
The National Federation of Republican Women's biennial convention
will be held in Louisville, October 6-8th.
Louisville, more than a century past its days as a brawling
frontier riverfront town, is now a comfortable, low-key city,
generally a follower rather than a leader among America's urban
centers.
In its social history, Louisville has faced South. Its public
places were not fully desegregated until after World War II. In
recent years, court-ordered busing has been a major problem,
especially in blue-collar neighborhoods in the South End and in
neighboring Shively. The right-to-life movement is strong within
the conservative Catholic constituency.
In the late 1970s, Louisville had a reputation as "the strike
capital of the world", as industrialists closed plants and few new
ones opened.
During the 1970s, the Louisville metropolitan area grew only 4.5%
to 906,240. Louisville itself lost 17.5% of its population
dropping to 298,451.
Louisville has a proud literary and intellectual history, rooted in
the 19th century and enhanced by the broad-minded and intelligent
Germans who settled in the 1840s. The University of Louisville,
formed in antebellum days, was the first municipally owned
university in the United States.
Louisville is the home of Churchill Downs where the Kentucky Derby
is annually run.
Louisville casts 57% of the vote in the 3rd Congressional District
which is represented by six term Democrat Ron Mazzoli.
1984 PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Kentucky will send 37 delegates to the 1984 Republican National
Convention compared to 27 in 1980.
President Reagan carried Kentucky with 49% of the popular vote and
Jefferson County (Louisville) by a 48.4%-47.9% vote margin.
MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Page 3
Kentucky will choose delegates for both 1984 conventions through a
caucus system.
-- Republicans: Precinct caucuses will be held March 10, followed by
county conventions on March 17, congressional district conventions
on May 10-12, and the state convention on May 12.
------------------------- Democrats: Precinct caucuses will be held on March 17, followed by
county conventions on March 31, and congressional district
conventions on April 14. The State Executive Committee will select
some delegates.
On July 15, 1983, four top Kentucky Republican women held a news
conference in support of Reagan's record on women's issues -- Mary A.
Whittle, president of the Kentucky Federation of Republican Women;
State Chairwoman Liz Thomas; National Committeewoman Nelda L. Barton;
state Representative Pat Freibert.
Democratic presidential activity has been limited in Kentucky.
None of the 6 major candidates had made any public appearances in
the state. Hollings is the only Democrat candidate running to
receive a contribution from within the state. He received $2,500
from the Public Policy Action PAC of Louisville.
Paul Patton, former Kentucky Democratic chairman stated in a
July 16 National Journal article that Glenn is the leading
candidate at this time because the Democrats are looking for
someone who is electable, who can beat Reagan. Patton added that
he believed that Glenn is the only Democrat that could carry
Kentucky.

$500,000 to oppose incumbent Democrat Senator Walter "Dee"
Huddleston. McConnell will be one of the the best prepared U.S.
Senate candidates and is expected to have $1 million in the bank
by the end of the year. The National Republican Senatorial
Committee has contributed $15,000 to McConnell's campaign.
Last Spring, McConnell and Bunning amicably settled a longstanding
feud. He now serves on Bunning's finance committee and is doing
an excellent job raising funds.
1983 GOVERNOR ELECTIONS:
Governor John Y. Brown:
-- Incumbent Governor John Y. Brown, who was unable by law to seek
a second term, may have been the biggest loser in the primary
elections - he endorsed third place finisher Stumbo.
-- Brown's prestige was damaged because he was unable to lift
Stumbo from the rear of the pack to the nomination.
Brown, who underwent triple-bypass heart surgery on June 25 then
suffered respiratory complications, returned home on July 25
to resume his duties as governor.
-- Lt. Governor Collins received some unfavorable publicity when
it was unclear whether she was assuming the duties as Acting
Governor during Brown's absence.
Governor Brown has been in the newspapers this summer regarding
the fact that he has lost $1.3 million of his own money while
gambling in Las Vegas.
During the primaries Governor Brown was critical of Lt. Governor
Collins leadership experience.

Republican: - Jim Bunning
State Senate GOP leader and former Detroit Tiger and Philadelphia
Phillies pitcher Jim Bunning ran virtually unopposed as he won 85%
of the vote over lawyer Lester Burns and newspaper publisher Donald
Wiggins in the GOP gubernatorial primary.
- State Senator Eugene "Gene" Stuart is running with Bunning for Lt.
Governor, although he must be elected in his own right.
---
Bunning's name identification has been steadily climbing since
the primary and is now over 60%.
--
Bunning has called for a $1.5 million campaign spending limit.
-- If elected Bunning would become the first GOP governor since
1967 when Republican Louie Nunn was elected.
---
The major issues in the races are jobs, utilities and education.
Some disgruntled Republicans led by primary loser Wiggins have
succeeded in getting a third slate on the November ballot for
Nicholas McCubbin as the Citizens United Party candidate.
One reason for their effort was their being upset about the
pre-primary endorsement by the state and national Republican
party organizations.
Bunning has received the endorsement of the Kentucky
Right-to-Life PAC.
-
Bunning was Reagan's 1980 Greater Cincinnati campaign chairman.
--
Bunning has stated that he will accept no campaign contributions
from utilities.
The main issue in the campaign is the question of leadership
and who can best govern the state.
--
Bunning is giving strong support to multi-county banking.
This has been a major issue and major financial disagreement
between Bunning and Collins, who had formerly been against it
but now says she's "open-minded" towards it.
Recent polling data was not as hopeful as expected.
Former Kentucky Republican state chairman Lee Nunn, has announced
that he is not supporting Bunning for governor.
Nunn's refusal to back Bunning stems from a long running
feud with state chairman Liz Thomas and northern Kentucky's
Congressman Gene Snyder. Liz Thomas also runs Snyder's
northern Kentucky congressional office.
Former Republican Governor Louie Nunn, the brother of Lee Nunn,
has announced that he will back Bunning's bid for governor.

Debates:
A scheduled debate sponsored by the Kentucky Association of
Broadcasters was cancelled when Democrat Collins failed to
accept the invitation. Bunning, however, took advantage of the
television time offered to both candidates and appeared on
Kentucky Educational Television in the Lexington area on
Wednesday, September 14.
-- A tentative debate between Bunning and Collins by the Kentucky
Education Television will be held on October 12. Nicholas
McCubbin's candidacy has created some difficulties in the
scheduling of these debates.
Democrat: Martha Layne Collins
Democrat Lt. Governor Martha Layne Collins (a former schoolteacher)
was a narrow 34.7%-34% winner over Louisville mayor Harvey Sloane
and Dr. Grady Stumbo, who received 31% of the vote in the
Democrat gubernatorial primary.
--
Sloane has formally endorsed Collins' gubernatorial candidacy.
-- A post-primary survey shows Collins with a higher than expected
favorable rating despite her bitter primary fight.
--
The Collins campaign released a July poll by the Washington
firm of William Hamilton & Staff which shows the lieutenant
governor with a better than 2 to 1 lead.
-- The poll was taken prior to Bunning's extensive media
advertising campaign and showed Collins leading Bunning at
that time by a 62%-26% margin.
---- Some key Stumbo and Sloane backers, as expected, have joined the
Bunning campaign.
-- Collins did better than expected in the primary election in
conservative Democrat areas that would not generally be expected
to support a woman candidate.
Lt. Governor Collins is not expected to receive overwhelming
support of feminists (who backed Sloane in the primary) due to her
weak support of ERA and opposition to abortion except in cases of
rape or incest.
-- Teamsters Joint Council 94 (Louisville, Lexington, Paducah),
representing over 30,000 workers, has endorsed Collins.
-- Media has been critical of Collins this summer for her lack of
access to the media.
-- Both candidates, Stumbo and Sloane, that Collins defeated in
the Democratic primary have endorsed Collins in statewide
radio commercials that began on September 2. Democratic U.S.
Senators Wendell Ford and Walter "Dee" Huddleston, are also
featured in radio spots endorsing Collins.
-- The state AFL-CIO and the United Mine Workers of Kentucky Coal
Miners have endorsed Collins.
-- Collins received criticism for not taking charge while acting
governor during Governor Brown's illness this summer.
