MEMORANDUM
"84 MAY 28 P12 :09
TO:
Bill Sittman
FROM:
Richard B. Wirthlin
DATE:
May 23, 1984
RE:
Convention -- First Lady
I believe it is entirely appropriate to develop a media event for the
First Lady at the convention. However, the focus of the event on the
exploits of Republican women over the past 30 years raises two questions:
o
Will a salute to Republican women by Republican women be
sufficiently newsworthy to attract broad media coverage?
0
Could the focus on the past 30 years serve to reinforce the
perceptual problem we have with women; i.e., the party's view of
women is out-of-date?
I would suggest consideration of an alternative theme which would be:
FIRST LADY NANCY REAGAN'S
SALUTE TO
THE WOMEN OF AMERICA'S FUTURE
This theme would provide a backdrop for the First Lady to make a short
speech which focuses on America's future and the integral leadership role
women will take in that future. The First Lady could then present awards
to ten women whose current accomplishments reflect the type of woman the
First Lady had characterized in her speech. The success stories
represented by the women honored should represent a real cross section of
endeavors (teacher, mother, scientist, successful business entrepreneur,
drug rehabilitation worker, etc.) and demographics.
I hope you will find these suggestions helpful. If I can be of any
further assistance, please let me know.

MEMORANDUM TO JAMES A. BAKER, III
FROM:
MICHAEL K. DEAVER m
SUBJECT:
Suggested Presidential Convention Schedule
1. Wouldn't the First Lady be with the President? Why
would she be greeter?
2. Do we want to start the day at 8:30 a.m. -- the day of
his acceptance speech?
3. I don't really think we need dry run on the podium.
4. I would schedule the women's breakfast for 9:00 a.m.
Should check with Maureen Reagan on this, I thinks she's
working on luncheon, not breakfast.
Otherwise, schedule looks alright!
Let me know your thoughts.

Dear Bill:
With regard to the scheduled meeting in Dallas the week of
April 16th, all I can say is it's impossible for us.
Bill Henkel and all of the top advancemen will either be
in China, located at a stop associated with the trip, or
with the President in California. I am sorry this can't
be better coordinated.
With regard to other convention matters, I would like to
follow-up on open items from the January meeting with
Mr. Baker and Mr. Deaver. Can you advise me as to the
status of the following:
1. The draft proposal for a 4-night versus a 3-night
convention.
2. The draft overall proposal for those people who would
be part of the convention program.
3. The status of the theme or slogan which I understand
you are having Dick Wirthlin poll.
Thank you very much for all you help.
Sincerely,
mbe

NOTE: If we are able to keep close to this proposed
schedule, the Convention will have more sessions
than any in over 30 years, yet total time in
session will be considerably below any Republican
Convention during the same period.
LOCAL ACCESS
Recognition in scheduling must be given to "local access"
requirements of networks which give local stations broadcast
time 7:30 - 8:00 p.m. EDT (6:30 - 7:00 p.m. Dallas), 6:30 -
7:00 p.m. CDT (same in Dallas) and 7:30 - 8:00 p.m. PDT
(9:30 - 10:00 p.m. Dallas). News programs can be broadcast
by the networks during this segment, but local stations
frequently refuse to accept the feed, preferring their own
programming. Therefore, convention planners should attempt
to avoid major speeches during these periods.
TELEVISION
In 1980, the 3 networks gave the GOP Convention a total of 22.7 hours
coverage, compared to 29.5 in 1976. These broadcast hours include
non-session coverage such as evening news, morning shows, etc. It is
worth noting that in the 1972 Convention with the re-nomination of
President Nixon, the networks broadcast only 19.8 hours. Except for
1964, Democratic Convention coverage far exceeded Republican air time.
The 1980 Republican Convention produced an average of only 3.8 hours
of viewing. When compared to total hours aired, only 17 percent
households actually viewed the Convention, the lowest level for the
past 7 conventions.
For each of the 6 conventions 1956-76 of both political parties,
network television's total coverage of conventions averaged a little
better than 60 hours.
PROGRAM TIMES
In 1980, average percentage of T.V. using households viewing the
Republican Convention during prime time during the 9:00 - 10:00 p.m.
EDT time segment and dropped off quickly after than. Also, viewing
was considerably below the average for the week immediately before
and after the Convention.

In 1980, because of being the first convention and interest in the
selection of a Vice Presidential nominee, one would think the
audience would have been larger for the GOP than the re-nomination
of President Carter. However, the Democrats actually enjoyed a
bigger audience, probably because of the "Kennedy Affair."

TYPE AUDIENCE
The 1980 GOP political convention attracted the largest audience
among groups in order
1.
Women over 50
(4.4 average hours viewed per person)
2.
Men over 50
(4.2

5. Teens

(0.5

6. Children
)
This pattern held true in the Democratic Convention - and over
recent years. Therefore, the largest audience will be predominately
older Americans if the past viewing habits continue. The age break
was more dramatic than other indicators.
In 1980, there was not much difference in household viewing size:
1.
Household size 1-2
(3.8 average hours viewing)

2.
3-4
(3.4

Income levels of T.V. watchers were:
1.
$20,000+
(3.9 average hours viewing)
(3.5

2.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
May 16, 1984
MEMORANDUM FOR WILLIAM E. TIMMONS
FROM:
MICHAEL A. McMANUS, Jr. mamm.
SUBJECT:
Convention
I've had an opportunity to go over your recent memos with
Jim Baker and Mike Deaver and want to pass on the following
responses:
1) Presidential Box - Mike Deaver and I will continue
to work with you on the seating in the box.
2) Convention Staff Offices We would like one White
House Senior Staff office. Messrs. Baker and Deaver
will not need separate offices but will use their
suites. All equipment for the White House official
offices will be provided by us. We agree that Craig
Fuller will staff the Cabinet Office and that Dick
Darman will staff the White House Convention office as
you suggested. Since both of these offices will serve
as centers for Convention related matters, you should
provide all the necessary equipment for them.
3) White House Communications Agency - WHCA will
provide WHCA phones to the appropriate people for their
official functions at government expense. I understand
Convention phones will also be provided at your expense
to a limited number of White House staff who have a
Convention function. I will ask the WHCA coordinator
to contact your Ron Crawford.
4) Office equipment - As you and I already discussed,
we will provide office equipment for a White House
senior staff office for official purposes and also for
any other office which has a normal White House
traveling staff function. You should plan on providing
all the equipment for the Cabinet and White House
Convention related offices.
- 2 -
5) Convention Transportation - Except for those persons
you mentioned with Secret Service protection, all other
transportation should be provided by Reagan-Bush or the
Convention.
6) White House Personnel - We have decided not to cut
back on the list of White House personnel going to the
Convention. All of these people, with the exception of
the small group considered official (ie - doctor,
military aide, etc.) will have their expenses paid out
of your budget. I will work with you on room
assignments and arrival/departure dates.
7) Convention program - While we agree with the plan
you suggest, we would like to see a list of program
participants who have been picked and a list of the
program positions and titles that still need to be
chosen.
8) Convention Invitations - We agree with your
suggestion that you send a letter to subcabinet
officials explaining the policy regarding invitations
but offering to assist others who wish to attend at
their own expense.
9) Themes - We agree that themes need immediate
attention and would like to make some decisions at our
next meeting. If you have any new "gems" please let me
know.
My suggestion for a weekly Convention meeting has been
approved. The group will include you, Ron Walker, and
Frank Fahrenkopf. These meetings should provide a good
opportunity for us to raise problems and get quick answers.
The meetings will be on an as-needed basis. If you have
some proposed agenda items please get them to me as quickly
as possible by Friday of each week so I can attempt to line
up the necessary players for the following week.

MEMORANDUM FOR MICHAEL K. DEAVER
FROM:
MICHAEL A. McMANUS mahon_
SUBJECT:
Baker Meeting on Convention
There are a couple of things which you may want to consider
for discussion at the Baker Convention meeting:
1) It may be time to suggest that we have a separate
Baker/Deaver Convention meeting similar to our present
Tuesday political meeting as there are a number of
important matters which need to be discussed on a
regular basis. I would suggest that the group should
include Bill Timmons, Ron Walker and Frank Fahrenkopf.
Topics for the first couple of meetings would include a
platform update including a status of drafts and
preparation of the platform, the status of the Dick
Allen/Ed Harper group and an agreed upon procedure for
moving forward on the platform. Timmons understands
that some drafts are being submitted but is concerned
that with people like Weicker and Helms on the same
committee we could be pulled in too many directions.
We need to discuss the status of the program including
signing off on key speakers, religious representatives,
women, hispanics and other people who should be included
as part of the overall program effort. We should also
discuss Tuesday Team involvement, people attending the
Convention as guests, people who are using the
Presidential box, the President's, the Vice President's
and other Cabinet people's schedules at the Convention,
White House people who we want to have in Dallas in
advance of the Convention and other related matters.
We may want to reconsider inviting Bishop Connor of
N.Y. to participate, for example.
2) We should discuss and agree upon the procedure for
developing a theme for the Convention. As you know,
the Tuesday Team has suggested "Rebuilding the American
Dream". We should probably agree on one or two others
that should be tested and signed off on in the near
future.
(cont'd)
3) There has been some negative press coverage of the
FDA, FCC and other government involvement recently in
the Dallas area checking hotels, restaurants and
communications systems connected with the Convention.
We should be sure that these trips are not
opportunities for large numbers of government officials
to be around during the Convention period, and we
should also carefully check on government agencies'
plans for involvement around the Democratic National
Convention.
4) We should discuss cutting down on the number of
White House staff people who are planning on traveling
to the Convention. As you know, the areas we may want
to take a look at are Faith Whittlesey's office, Jack
Svahn's office, B. Oglesby's office and the Counsel's
office where there are large numbers of people planning
on traveling to Dallas.
5) I think we should also discuss at the Baker meeting
or at the subsequent Convention meeting the problem of
actual dollars which are available from any source for
Convention purposes. As you know the Tuesday Team has
planned to spend more than a million dollars for
documentary and other filming purposes. In addition,
there are considerable expenditures being discussed for
multi-media purposes and general programming. All of
this needs to be coordinated with other ongoing similar
plans by either the RNC or the campaign, and we need to
be sure that we know where the dollars can come from
and that they are not committed for other programs.
6) We have previously discussed a woman keynoter.
Attached is a list of women state office holders from
Lee Verstandig. Even if these women are not keynoter
material, we may want to use them elsewhere at the
Convention.
7) If you agree I would propose that my office continue
to be the central point for Convention matters
including who the First Lady or others want in the
Presidential box, White House people going to the
Convention, and other matters, so that we have a
coordinated White House effort.

Presidential Box
Director of Research
As you'll recall, we have always had trouble
planning appropriate use of the First Family's
box in the convention hall. Obviously, the
President and First Lady will have complete
control over those seats and will take special
attention to who joins the First Lady when she's
there.
Also, this preferred seating presents the campaign
with a good opportunity to use the seats for
maximum political effect. We'll need somebody to
be responsible for this chore - somebody we can
work with and also has the confidence of the First
Lady.
Can you and Mike Deaver assign somebody (maybe
from Mrs. Reagan's staff) ?
NOTE: Although boxes are not finalized, it
appears the Presidential Box may
have two rows of eight seats each.
Six sessions means 96 total places
to be filled.

I plan to have four rooms used as an office to
coordinate activities and serve as information
centers for 1) Cabinet, 2) White House personnel,
3) campaign officials, and 4) R-B finance
committee members.
These offices will furnish information about the
convention program, ground transportation, meal
service, social activities, news conferences, etc.
In addition, convention hall tickets will be
dispensed here. Each office will serve as a
message center in case the principals are out -
and as locators to find them.
I will need a senior person and two secretaries
to staff each of the four facilities. Ed Rollins
and Joe Rodgers will provide names for campaign
and finance. Will you give me people for the
Cabinet and White House?
My own recommendation is Craig Fuller and two
from his office for Cabinet Coordination - and
Dick Darman and two from his office for White
House Staff Coordination. Darman may have other
duties during convention week, and if so, some
other appropriate individual should be named -
of Assistant rank.
Let's discuss when you have a chance.

Director of Research
Telephones and walkie-talkies at the Convention
could be a problem. We'll have three systems:
WHCA, RNC, and Reagan-Bush. We currently plan
separate telephone systems, switchboards, hand
units, etc. However, there will be tie lines
between them so that we're all interconnected by
pushing an access number. Some key individuals
may require units directly on each system.
Perhaps your convention WHCA chief could coordinate
with R-B telephone man Nick Volcheff at 602/955-8377
to make certain we're not overlooking anything.
I assume all WHCA phones are paid by the government
and not the responsibility of the RNC or R-B.
Regarding walkie-talkies, the White House advance
will, of course, use its own equipment. Ditto for
the Vice President, I assume. However, there may
be need to coordinate frequencies and units.
Perhaps whoever handles that in the White House can
contact Ron Crawford, our radio expert, at
202/296-5505.
Thanks, Mike.

participants in the official program of the
National Convention. Once decisions have been
agreed upon, I suggest this plan for implementation.
1. Fahrenkopf meet with the Executive Committee
of the RNC Arrangements Committee to discuss names
with them and solicit their approval. This is ex-
tremely important to keep harmony in the family. In
fact, the RNC program subchairman may make the
presentation with Frank.
2. The President should personally call these
people to ask them to participate: His Seconders,
the Keynoter, President Ford, and the Temporary
Chairman. This way the President gets credit for
their selection.
3. Others who are chosen for major official
rolls, such as Parliamentarian, key speakers, etc.
should be contacted personally by Senator Laxalt or
Frank Fahrenkopf.
4. Those with more minor parts, such as invoca-
tors, pledge leaders, etc., should be contacted by
the Arrangements Subcommittee for the program.
5. This should be accomplished in late May with
talking points written for each person who invites
that gives the RNC some measure of control over the
length of speech and its content.

FDA
MICHAEL J. BATES
Director of Research
Please see attached. The Anatole has FDA investiga-
tors three times a week going through kitchen, etc.
I believe this activity is being handled through
other avenues, but you should be aware of its
negative P/R impact on the Dallas community.
Also, I understand the FCC is planning on sending
a large contingent to Dallas for the convention
period to monitor radio frequency violations. This
may be necessary - or it could be vacation time for
bureaucrats.
I fear each department, agency, and regulatory
commission could see the two national conventions
as opportunities for junkets at taxpayer expense.
Some are justified; others may not be. The problem,
of course, is that the President may be blamed for
any government involvement - especially in San
Francisco - even if unauthorized by him.
Therefore, Mike, I suggest an appropriate high
level officer in the White House survey over the
phone to find out exactly what "official" activities
are contemplated for the political conventions:
mission, personnel numbers, authority, etc. Then
the President can decide which are appropriate.
This will be a little delicate regarding regulatories
so perhaps those should be for information only.
I'd like to know exactly who approved the FDA
inspections, but don't waste time worrying about
that.

RE:
FDA Letter (Potential Press Flap)
On March 2, the Dallas office of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration sent a letter (copy attached) to all Dallas hotels
and motels invoking supposed requirements of the Republican
National Convention and the U.S. Secret Service as reason to
instigate new state-sponsored inspections and sanitation
procedures at food establishments at these facilities.
These inspections, which go above and beyond any normal FDA
requirements or procedures, have gone forward and elicited cries
of harrassment from the local Hotel and Motel Association.
We have investigated the matter with these results:
A. There are no requirements of the Republican National
Convention or the U.S. Secret Service that necessitate
such inspections.
B. The letter was sent without any consultation with
officials at the Republican National Convention or the
U.S. Secret Service.
C. The Regional Director of the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services, appalled when first informed by us
about the letter, has ordered a follow-up letter to be
sent to the same list disassociating the Republican
National Convention and the U.S. Secret Service from any
such activities of the FDA.
D. The U.S. Secret Service is also sending their own letter
clarifying their noninvolvement.
This matter is further complicated by the fact that an
"investigative" reporter for a local TV station (ABC affiliate
WFAA-TV) has been visiting local food establishments collecting
film for a series of future reports about local food sanitation
procedures and conditions. His alleged abrasive manner has
already led to one serious altercation in which a hotel owner
smashed the reporter's camera and confiscated his film. The
station has since filed a lawsuit as a result.
We will be monitoring this situation closely.

Dear Mr.
PASS
Foiz GoP This MSQ
File
During the upcoming Republican National Convention, the Dallas Office
the U. S. Food and Drug Administration will be called upon to advise the
U. S. Secret Service concerning safe dining and catering facilities for the
visiting delegations. Your level of sanitation will be the basis for our
recommendation.
Currently, Federal, State, and Local health departments are cooperating in
an effort to raise the levels of food safety in the Dallas metropolitan
area prior to the GOP Convention. In the next few weeks, your foodservice
area will be inspected by a team of State and Local sanitarians to
determine its level of sanitation. A copy of the inspection report is
always left with your foodservice manager. A few of these inspections have
already been made, and initial indications are disturbing. Please be aware
that the lower the inspection score the greater the potential for a
foodborne illness outbreak.
It is not difficult for a conscientious foodservice manager knowledgeable
in good food sanitation practices to attain and maintain inspection scores
in the high 90's. We hope that your standards are high enough and your
concern for people and your reputation is great enough that you will help
your foodservice manager attain the highest possible level of food safety
in your establishment.
One very positive thing which you can do to improve food safety in your
hotel is to ensure that your foodservice manager and food handlers have
training in food sanitation. Both the Texas Restaurant Association (TRA)
and Brookhaven College offer adult education short courses in foodservice
sanitation at reasonable costs. These two organizations are currently
making an extra effort to provide ample on-campus and on-site training
courses to accommodate all hotel foodservice personnel in the months
remaining before the convention.
There is now time and opportunity to improve the level of food safety in
your facility not only for convention goers but for the public in general.
Manager training and subsequent improved sanitation will certainly be
viewed as a credit to you and your establishment especially since State and
Local sanitarians will be making follow-up inspections to hotels with low
inspection scores.
Page 2
March 2, 1984
We urge you to take all appropriate measures to provide a safe and healthy
foodservice-one which we could recommend heartily. For information
concerning dates and costs for food sanitation courses, you may contact
Ms. Vickie Vaclavik or Ms. Sue Lichten of Brookhaven College at (214)
620-4715 or Mr. Don George of the Texas Restaurant Association at (512)

Convention Invitation
Director of Research
I have sent letters to all Cabinet status members
of the Administration as approved. I will let
you know the results.
I am not inviting Deputy Secretaries, Assistant
Secretaries, Military Service Secretaries,
Regulatory Chairmen, or Agency heads. While I
cannot afford to cover them with my budget,
should I sent a selected group a letter explaining
the situation and offering to be of assistance if
they can pay their own way?
In this group might be Peter McPherson, Don Devine,
Jim Miller, Mark Fowler, or whomever the White
House wants.
Please advise.
