MEMORANDUM FOR JIM WRAY
FROM:
BERT COLEMAN
RE:
IDAHO
Over the weekend, there were several developments stemming
from McClure's retirement announcement.
Congressman Richard Stallings (D) announced he is
reconsidering running for the seat. He explained that his
comments of not being interested were a result of his personal
friendship with McClure. If he runs, he will probable not face
opposition for the nomination.
Congressman Larry Craig (R) begins a six city swing on
Tuesday to announce his plans to seek the Republican nomination
for the seat. He would probably face primary opposition from
either former Lt. Gov. Dave LeRoy or one of several others
thinking about it. Craig should win the nomination.
It looks as though Boise mayor Dirk Kemthorne will run for
the Congressional seat being vacated by Craig as craig cannot run
for the seat simutaniously. This diminishes all hopes (as small
as they were) of beating Andrus as he was the only serious
candidate capable of beating the incumbent Governor

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
February 13, 1989
MEMORANDUM FOR GOVERNOR SUNUNU
FROM:
JIM WRAY Dow
SUBJECT:
Senator Roy M. Goodman of New York
By the time you return to the White House today, Senator Goodman will
probably have already tried to reach you. Accordingly, I wanted to
provide you with an update of what I know on the Goodman situation.
Goodman telephoned me last evening. He now leans towards option "B",
meaning staying in the state senate but receiving an appointment to
a significant board or commission now, and the guarantee of consideration
to a significant Administration post after the 1990 election cycle.
He will be asking you for several things:
(1) To expedite a meeting with the President, so that he may
personally explain to the President his decision not to
accept the GSA Administrator post.
(2) To arrange a strategy for the public "spin" of this decision,
meaining a statement from you and/or the President saying
that we wanted Goodman to take the GSA position, but to his
credit, he has put the party first and decided to stay in
the state senate.
NOTE: He will also ask that this be done prior to this Wednesday,
February 15th, the night of the annual New York County
GOP's Lincoln Day dinner.
Please remember that the congressional delegation commissioned
Congressman Frank Horton as their point of contact on this situation.
When a decision is made on this matter, it should be communicated to
Congressman Horton immediately.
I stand-by to assist in any manner that you direct.
Thank you.

WE'VE -- GOT TO WAGE A WAR ON DRUGS, AND IT HAS TO BI A NATIONAL WAR
IT CAN'T BE A PIECEMEAL EFFORT.

THOUGH NEW YORK WERE INVADED BY A RADICAL GOVERNMI NT IN QUEBEC.
"THE PRESIDENT DECLARES IT AN OUTRAGE AND 1 EMANDS IT END.
CAN'T AFFORD THAT LET THEM USE THE MILITIA."

AS CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY, I 1 H PROUD or THE
AND REVERSING NEARLY A DECADE OF DECREASING FEDERAL FUNDING FOR
DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S COMMITMENT TO IMPROVING OUR NA 'ION'S SCHOOLS,
THIS CRITICAL AREA.
OUR CHILDREN ARE AT RISK, AND THE FUTURE OF OUR CI "IES -- AND OUR
NATION -- IS IM DANGER. MORE GRAPHIC THAN THE ENDLESS SERIES OF
REPORTS DETAILING THE FAILURE OF OUR SCHOOL: TO GRADUATE

FAILURE. NEWS SHOWS WITH THEIR VIDEOTAPED DETAILING or THE RESULTS or THAT
IF WE GIVE CANNOT GIVE OUR URBAN CHILDREN THE TOOLS TO COMPETE
WITH THE REST OF AMERICA, THEY WILL COMPETE AMC NG THEMSELVES.
NOT WITH WORDS AND IDEAS, BUT WITH EMPTY STATUS SYMBOLS AND

THESE ARE NOT INDIVIDUAL CHILDREN WHO HAVE "FAL .EM THROUGH THE

EXPENSIVE BY THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.

LESS THAN A FIFTH or ELIGIBLE STUDENTS WILL PART: CIPATE IN HEAD
FUNDING FOR EDUCATION FOR DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS IOW SERVES ONLY
FORTY-SEVEN PERCENT OF ELIGIBLE STUDENTS. SI) MILLION POOR
CHILDREN ARE NOT RECEIVING THE ADDITIONAL HELP THEY NEED TO
MASTER BASIC MATHEMATICS AND LANGUAGE SKILLS THEY NEED TO
SURVIVE OFF THE STREETS.
WHAT GOOD ARE "ENTERPRISE SONES" IF WE WON'T COMI IT TO BUILDING
THE "EDUCATION SONES" OUR CHILDREN so DESPERATELY IEED.
WHETHER HOMELBESNESS, DRUGS, HOUSING, E ,UCATION, OR
INFRASTRUCTURE, THE REAL PROBLEMS or OUR ITIES REQUIRE
RESOURCES, DEDICATION, IDEAS AND EFFORT. THEY CAN T BE SOLVED BY
RHETORIC OR PARTISAN POSTURING.
BUT THESE ARE, BY DEFINITION, POLITICAL PROBLEMS :- THEY ARE THE
PROBLEMS PEOPLE EXPECT POLITICIANS TO ADDRESS.
AND JUST WHEN WII NEED POLITICS AT ITS BEST, THER | ARE MANY WHO
ARE PUSHING IT TO ITS WORST EXTREMES.
THANKS TO THE LEE ATWATERS OF THE WORLD, NATIONAL POLITICS IS
LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKE THE COASTLINE OF VALDES. ALASKA.
AND MAKE NO MISTAKE, THEY WANT THE POLITICAL OIL SPILL OF
NEGATIVE CAMPAIGNING TO SPREAD ACROSS AMERICA.

BUT WE CAN'T LET THEM WIN. was CAN'T LET POLITICS DEGENERATE EVEN
FURTHER.
RIGHT NOW MILLIONS OF YOUNG KSN AND WOMEN ARE :RADUATING FROM
MIGH SCHOOL. MANY OF US ARE ADDRESSING THE COMMES TEMENTS. ADULT
LIVES ARE BEGINNING. AND WHAT ARE THESE GRADE ATES SERING OF
CIVICS?
THEY ARE SESING SLIME. AND IT IS DRIVING NEM AWAY FROM
POLITICS.
THOSE OF US WHO HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES TO PUBLIC SERVICE CANNOT
ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE. WM CANNOT ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE DRAWN
DEEPER INTO THE POOL or MUCK THAT IS NEGATIVE AIGNING -- OUR
SELF-RESPECT AND OUR CONSTITUENCIES DEMAND IT.
THE WORST THING ABOUT IT IS THAT WHEN OUR PEOPLE LOSE HOPE AND
INTEREST, THE LEE ATWATER'S or THE WORLD WIM. THE PEOPLE WHO
BELIEVE IN CHANGE AND PROGRESS LOSE.
PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT JUSTICE LOSE.
THE CHILDREN DENIED A QUALITY EDUCATION LOSE.
THE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT LOSE.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS READY AND WILLING TO FIGHT BACK.
NOT WITH CHARACTER ASSASSINATION AND INNUENDO, BUT WITH IDEAS AND
AN AGENDA TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY BETTER.
LIKE INCREASING THE MINIMUM WAGE.
PASSING A CLEAN AIR BILL THAT'S MORE THAN HOT AIR.
REFORMING THE PENTAGON TO KEEP us STRONG BUT STOP THE WASTE.
MAKING SURE TEAT EVERY SINGLE QUALIFIED STUDENT CAN GO TO
COLLEGE -- REGARDLESS OF HIS OR HER FAMILY'S WEALTH.
THE CYNICAL VIEW OF GOVERNMENT, POLITICS, AND OUR POLITICAL
&
INSTITUTIONS IS BEING FURTHERED BY THE DISRESPECT SHOWN BY MANY
FOR AN EFFECTIVE, EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT.
IN 1980, HUD, UNDER A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT, SPINT ALMOST TWO
BILLION DOLLARS RENOVATING HOUSING TO BE USED BY LAW AND MODERATE

FREDERICK BUSH, THEY ALL RODE THE GRAVY TRAIN -- PULLING DOWN

FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A FEW HOURS ON THE TELE: HONE.
WE CAN'T LBT THE REPUBLICANS TURN HOUSING PROGRAMS FOR THE FOOR
INTO SUBSIDY PROGRAMS FOR WEALTHY REPUBLICAN COME LTANTS.
WE ALSO CAN'T LET ANYONE UNDERCOUNT OUR CIVISENRY IN THE
CONSTITUTIONALLY MANDATED CENSUS. THE CENSUS JREAU ADMITS TO
MISSING 3.2 MILLION PHOPLE IM THE 1980 CENSUS. UNDERCOUNTS
UNDERCUT BASIC FAIRNESS IN REPRESENTATION AND IM ALLOCATION. WE
IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PLEDGE TO DO ALL WE CAN 10 ENSURE A FAIR

WHETHER IN THE CENSUS, AT RUD, OR IN A WAR ON DRI GS, WE CAN HAVE
AN EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT. PROGRAMS CAN BE HAD : TO SERVE THE
PEOPLE THEY WERE DESIGNED FOR. THE NEEDS OF OUR URBAN
SCHOOLCHILDREN CAN BE MET. THE HOMELESS CAN BE IELPED. WE CAN
BRING THE LOCAL-FEDERAL PARTNERSHIP BACK AND FOC JS ITS POWER ON
THE DRUG PROBLEM.
BUT ALL or THIS REQUIRES A COMMITMENT TO POLITICS AT ITS BEST.
WE DO NEED A NEW BREEZE, WE DO NEED HANDS OFFERED IN HELP.
THAT ENDEAVOR, FOR I KNOW THAT OUR NATION'S FUTURI -- FROM CITIES
I STAND BEFORE YOU COMMITTED TO DOING ALL I CAI TO HELPING ON

CALIFORNIA IDEAS
At all times you ought to be considering three important factors related to
California: 1) the President's standing; 2) Reapportionment following the
1990 elections; and, 3) insuring that Republican's retain the Governor's
office in 1990 with the election of Pete Wilson.
Circumstances limit what you can do and so we should focus on doing a
few things well. Not all of the items suggested below need to be done, but
I do think that the nature of the problem requires that a few of them be
pursued in the near future.
1.
Presidential Telephone Calls:
Let people know that the President is thinking about California.
Following the Summit, the President should consider making 4 or 5
calls to California. I think the calls should be made to Governor
Deukmejian, Don Bren, and Howard Allen for starters. All are
supporters who will appreciate the call and they are opinion leaders
who will share useful ideas with the President.
The President could make the following points:
o
it's been a good year from my perspective, but I wonder how
it looks from California's perspective
0
I am working on my 1990 plans and a State of the Union
and I'd like your ideas now or over the next few days about
how you see the challenges we face as we enter the new
decade
0
1990 is an important election year for all of us, but no where
are the stakes higher than in California and I'd like to get a
better sense of where things stand out there
o
what issues should I expect to deal with when I visit the
state what could we do that would be helpful?
2.
Decisions and commitments to Wilson events:
Forget what has gone on this year with fund raising events, or the
lack there of. The facts are that the race for Pete Wilson is close
and getting closer. The President should travel to California at
least twice, if not more, and each trip should include two fund
raisers if possible. You should decide what you are going to do and
make a commitment with a scheduled date(s) as soon as possible.
It is my understanding that fundraising will be needed on

reapportionment, the state party and the Wilson campaign.
3.
California Strategy discussion:
Given the importance of California next year, we ought to organize
a small meeting on California to review issues and opportunities.
The meeting Governor Sununu ought to be held here first, in my
view. It should include some Californians, Lee and Bob Teeter.
And we ought to have a very candid discussion of the situation
there and here. I would be pleased to organize this if you wish to
proceed.
4.
California Trip:
When the President is preparing to travel to California, I would
consider a briefing session with a select group from the California
strategy meeting. The nuances of California issues need to be
carefully explained. A paper can be developed, but there ought to
be a careful discussion of California issues prior to diving into the
California media which will be looking for issue differences that
exist between Pete Wilson and the President.
It would be good if Governor Sununu could come out to California
in advance of the trip to hold a few private meetings. I see this as
an extension of the Washington based strategy discussion group. (I
think doing this rather than a speech would pay higher dividends.)
5.
State of the Union/1990 Theme:
You might consider how California might be used as the site for
highlighting a State of the Union theme. My thought would be to
consider a trip right after the State of the Union to California which
is the President's trip to highlight education, space/competitiveness,
environment, education, drugs or something else. The concept
would be to send a clear signal that the President is interested in
the State and is selecting it to highlight one of his major themes for
the 1990s. I mention this so that you will consider it as you develop
a State of the Union plan.
Good luck on your trip. I will do more thinking and would enjoy
discussing this further when you return.

SUBJECT: POLITICAL AND STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
Joe Hagin and I met at length this morning to again discuss scheduling for
our priority candidates, incumbents and party organizations. This focus of
this discussion was on our priorities for the balance of 1989.
Here is a quick recap of those priorities:
4 Lynn Martin for U.S. Senate
yes
Tom Tauke for U.S. Senate
yes
Hank Brown for U.S. Senate
yes
so
Warner for U.S. Senate
Claudine Schneider for U.S. Senate a
conhing
Phil Gramm for U.S. Senate (December '89 OR February '90)
DiPrete for Governor
on taks
Clements for Governor
ontly on the
Martinez for Governor
books
books
Marshall Coleman for Governor (fundraising and campaign stops)
on the books
Jim Courter for Governor (fundraising and campaign stops)
California State Republican Party
Ohio Republican Party
add Mississippi special race
By coincidence, we have about 11 weeks (September 15 through December 8, 1989)
to try and do 13 critical trips/stops.
You asked for my opinion on Senator Ted Stevens (D.C. based fundraising event
October 18). According to the NRSC, Stevens is "safe" at this point -- as of
this memo, he does not even have an opponent. Two other situations; (1) if we
do Stevens, we will have to do one for Don Young, and (2) starting the D.C. based
fundraising circuit will definitely open the flood-gates for the other incumbents.
Therefore, I must recommend against for this invitation.
There are obviously several ways in which the above stops could be packaged into
larger trip swings. Of course Clements, Courter, Coleman and Martinez are done
deals.
Again, Joe Hagin has this same list of priorities and plans to discuss them with
you and Governor Sununu ASAP.
Thank you.

RECENT DEMOCRAT SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE MAILING
Over the past few weeks, the DSCC has mailed a fundraising package over the
signature of Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell. The package encloses
a "survey" of key issues; the respondents are asked to prioritize these issues.
What I found astounding about this piece was the fact that on the list of
identified issues, the Democrats did not list DRUGS or EDUCATION!
It strikes me that given all of the bashing the President has been issued by
the Democrats on DRUG POLICY and EDUCATION of late, that this might be PRIME
material for ammunition in a united Administration and/or "party" response.
I have discussed this mailing with Dave Demarest and Fred McClure. They agree
that following your lead, something could be made of this.
Please advise.
Thank you.

DEMOCRATIC SENATORIAL CAMPAION COMMITTEE
Dear Senator Mitchell:
I WANT TO HELP YOU BUILD AN EVEN STRONGER DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN THE
UNITED STATES SENATE.
America's voters sent a clear mandate on Election Day-strengthening our Democratic Senate majority and
forcing the Republicans to adopt traditional Democratic values in their platform and environmental their campaign-including
President Bush's promises to be the "education President" and to support stronger measures in
a "kinder, gentler nation."
A strong Democratic majority is our best guarantee that those promises will be kept. Republican moves
against older Americans, farmers, the poor and disabled, and women's right to abortion-all unveiled if
immediately after Election Day-show that we cannot let our guard down even for a minute we expect the
Election Day mandate for Democratic values to be followed.
I have completed the DEMOCRATIC SENATE PRIORITIES SURVEY (below) to help Democratic
Senators plan their strategy and am also enclosing my contribution to become a member of the DSCC.

OFFICE OF THE MAJORITY LEADER
Dear Fellow Democrat:
As the Majority Leader of the United States Senate,
I'm urging you to complete the enclosed DEMOCRATIC SENATE
PRIORITIES SURVEY immediately ... and return it to me
today.
Your answers to this survey are critically important.
For it is the members of our Democratic majority in the
U.S. Senate who must make certain that the Bush-Quayle
Administration keeps the promises it made during last
November's campaign -- when it adopted many traditional
Democratic positions to win the support of the voters.
And while we applaud President Bush's wishes to be
remembered as the "education president" ... a protector of
our environment
and the architect of a "kinder, gentler
nation" - - we must never forget that these have always been
Democratic issues, fought for over many decades, often
against the most determined Republican opposition.
So while we are willing to give the administration
every chance to make good on its word, we also must be
prepared to take the lead in setting our nation's
legislative agenda during the next four years -- should
that be necessary -- to fulfill the voters' clear mandate
for legislation that addresses the needs of the people.
Your answers to the enclosed SURVEY, combined with the
responses of thousands of other concerned Democrats from
all over the country, will help our Democratic Senate form
the strategies we will need to craft new legislative
solutions -- as well as protect those solutions already
built by generations of Democratic Senators working on
behalf of the American people.
AND
...
your answers will also be invaluable to
(over, please)

Democratic candidates planning their 1990 Senate campaigns.
That's when it will be absolutely critical for us
to protect several Democratic incumbents already being
targeted by the Republicans ... and also to succeed in
our top election priorities for 1990: replacing the
Republicans up for reelection in 1990 with strong,
progressive-thinking Democrats.
That's why I'm asking you to complete the
enclosed DEMOCRATIC SENATE PRIORITIES
SURVEY and return it today with a generous
donation to the Democratic Senatorial
Campaign Committee - the official
campaign arm of our Democratic Senate.
The DSCC isn't a special interest group or a
single-issue "PAC" -- we exist solely to help Democratic
candidates.
We're funded by members -- individual Americans who
share your own Democratic beliefs about decency, fairness
and a responsive government working on behalf of all its
citizens.
In 1986, the DSCC helped gain eight Senate seats and
recapture control of the Senate from the Republicans at a
time when it was absolutely vital that we do so.
And in 1988, we gave a record $7.5 million to
Democratic Senate candidates -- and increased our majority
to 55-45.
AND NOW
...
there remains no doubt whatsoever that our
Democratic Senate must be made even stronger.
With the Bush-Quayle Administration on the record with
promises to work for many of the positions long supported
by Democrats, we now have the opportunity to achieve many
of the goals that were ignored
-
or
even
attacked
--
during the past eight years.
But only if we have a Democratic Senate majority
powerful enough to force the Administration to keep its
many campaign promises.
A powerful Democratic Senate can ensure that our
national commitment to clean air and water are restored

after eight long years of Republican leadership that placed
the health of our environment second to the interests of
wealthy industrialists and developers
...
A powerful Democratic Senate can ensure that the new
Administration complies with the limitations of SALT II
and adheres to the true spirit of the ABM Treaty.
And we can lend our support to the effort to move
forward from the promise of the INF Treaty to the real
goal of a workable Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty --
while standing firmly in opposition to any deployment of
"Star Wars"
...
A powerful Democratic Senate can make certain that any
future nominees to the Supreme Court are committed to
upholding the long standing traditions of individual
liberty, civil rights, women's equality and justice for
all Americans.
A powerful Democratic Senate can work for legislation
that would provide every American who needs it with
affordable protection from the enormous financial cost of
long-term care -- perhaps the greatest nightmare that
older Americans and their families can face
...
A powerful Democratic Senate can work hand-in-hand
with the Administration to reduce the federal budget
deficit -- but without destroying the essential services
and domestic programs that are the only means by which
millions of our elderly, poor and disabled citizens can
live anything approaching a decent life
...
A powerful Democratic Senate can pass laws to prevent
the kind of unlawful activities that created the Iran-
Contra scandal, and we can stand firmly against the
resumption of military aid to the contras
...
And a powerful Democratic Senate can take the lead in
helping to save tens of thousands of small family farms
now threatened with extinction.
Legislative goals like these -- led by a powerful,
activist Democratic Senate majority -- represent the true
mandate of this past election.
Those eight years saw repeated attacks on the rights of
women, older Americans and minorities
...
constant attempts

to eliminate the right to reproductive freedom
...
increasing pressure to censor the books and magazines you
read and the films you see and skyrocketing deficits.
And they also were tragically marked by an insensitivity
to the plight of the homeless living in the streets ...
to
hard-working family farmers losing their land
...
and
to
American workers losing their jobs to foreign competitors.
The message sent by the American people on Election
Day was loud and clear: no more. But what happened
immediately after the votes were counted underlines the
need for a strong Democratic Senate that can ensure that
the people's wishes are carried out.
Within the first 10 days of the election of the
Bush-Quayle ticket, the Reagan Administration had unveiled
the legacy it wanted to hand to George Bush and Dan Quayle
-- and against which a Democratic Senate must be prepared
to stand firmly and strongly:
-- Millions of elderly, poor and disabled
Americans learned that new rules were being
prepared to make it even harder for them to
appeal decisions denying them Social
Security, Medicare and welfare benefits
...
-- More than 80,000 farmers received notices
of impending foreclosures
-- The Administration filed a brief with the
Supreme Court in the recently decided
Webster V. Reproductive Health Services
which seriously undermined Roe V. Wade
and a women's constitutional right to
choose abortion
And that was just the beginning
...
The Reagan Administration unveiled its plans to
subject millions of citizens in the transportation
industry to random drug testing.
And the Reagan Administration found a legal loophole
2
to permit new nuclear power plants to go "on line" almost
immediately -- long before all of the evacuation planning
previously required can be completed.
And in the U.S. Senate, even though they represent a

minority, the Republicans still have enough votes to
prevent cloture as well as the override of Presidential
vetoes.
With Vice President Quayle's recent hints that he will
exercise, as often as possible, his rarely-used constitu-
tional prerogative to sit as presiding officer of the
Senate, the situation becomes even more perilous.
As presiding officer, the vice president has
extraordinary discretion when it comes to recognizing
Senators from the floor.
That's why it is absolutely critical that the
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee raise a large
enough war chest to defeat as many Republicans as possible.
Otherwise, strategic recognition by Vice President
Quayle could give us Republican obstructionism in the
Senate -- even though we Democrats are the majority party!
That's why we must increase that Democratic majority.
With a Republican in the White House
...
with far too
many Republicans still determined to push through the
Ronald Reagan agenda ... and with Vice President Quayle
voting to break all ties
...
it is vital that we add
enough Democratic votes to create realistic opportunities
to override any Presidential vetoes.
WE MUST ALSO be prepared to defend those courageous
Democratic Senators who are already being targeted for
defeat by the Republicans. Senators like:
PAUL SIMON of Illinois: A compassionate,
practical leader on health, education and
arms control who ran a strong presidential
campaign based on traditional Democratic
values.
TOM HARKIN of Iowa: A progressive
populist who takes strong stands on
agricultural and economic justice issues
and is an outspoken opponent of American
)
involvement in Central America
...
AND,
CARL LEVIN of Michigan: A smart, dogged,
progressive of passionate convictions who

has courageously opposed the MX missile
and stood up for the ABM Treaty.
With the virtually unlimited bankroll provided by rich
special interests, the Republicans are absolutely
determined to oust these three important Democrats from
the Senate as part of their campaign against the 16
Democrats who will be defending their seats in 1990.
These include key Democratic leaders like Sam Nunn of
Georgia, Bill Bradley of New Jersey, J. Bennett Johnston
of Louisiana, Joe Biden of Delaware, John Kerry of
Massachusetts, and A1 Gore of Tennessee.
We cannot allow a threat like that to go unanswered.
We must defend every Democratic seat -- even those
considered "safe" -- with as heavy a war chest as the
Republicans will be using to capture them.
Remember, it was only eight years ago that the
Republicans unfurled their checkbooks and managed to oust
even such powerful Democratic Senators as Birch Bayh,
Gaylord Nelson, Frank Church and George McGovern.
WE DEMOCRATS CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN.
With the Republicans in control of the White House
...
and with the nature of the Reagan legacy already
apparent
...
...
Our Democratic Senate majority will be the
American people's only guarantee that the progressive
issues important to them - and for which they voted so
clear a mandate on Election Day -- will get raised,
debated, and fought for during the next four years!
But to maintain and strengthen that majority, our
Democratic Senate -- and the Democratic Senatorial
Campaign Committee -- needs your help today.
We need to know which issues you consider most urgent
so we can set the legislative priorities most important to
the American people.

And we need your financial support as well -- so we
can continue to provide the campaign funds and technical
assistance for television, radio and print advertising,
fundraising, polling, telephone banks, get-out-the-vote

efforts and everything else it will take to defend our
incumbents and challenge vulnerable Republicans.
There are two things you can do:
FIRST ... complete the enclosed DEMOCRATIC
SENATE PRIORITIES SURVEY and return it to

us as we set our Democratic legislative
strategy for the next two years.
SECOND ... enclose the most generous

Your check for $20, $25, $35, $50 or even $100 or more

a time when America, more than ever, will be looking to
the United States Senate for leadership.
Please let me hear from you today.

GETTING A VOTE FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH
I. The Will of the Majority
o Presidential Election -- 1988. The campaign was
criticized by some "good-government" afficionados for
its alleged lack of focus on substantive policy
issues. "Capital gains" (incentive for longer term
investment and growth) was one of the few policy
issues that was discussed. The candidate who clearly
and unequivocally favored "capital gains" won
overwhelmingly. The candidate who opposed capital
gains lost (overwhelmingly).
House of Representatives -- 1989. An overwhelming
bipartisan majority (239-190) passed a capital gains
incentive as part of the pending reconciliation bill.
o Senate -- 1989 (October 7). A bipartisan majority
favors a Packwood-Boren capital-gains-and-IRA
proposal.
II. The Will of the Senate Democratic Leadership
o Notwithstanding the views of a bipartisan majority,
the Democratic leadership apparently wishes to
prevent a simple, straight-forward, and fair
(majority wins) vote on capital gains.
o Obstacles are being raised under a new-found interest
in applying the doctrine of "extraneity."
-- It is argued, ironically, that good government
does not require a simple, fair vote on an issue
which a majority of the electorate, the House, and
the Senate wants to see move forward.
-- It is argued that good government requires the
application of the doctrine of "extraneity" -- as
interpreted by one or two Americans.
III. A Triumph of Arcanery?
O If this "doctrine of extraneity" were to prevail, it
would mark a triumph of arcanery over fairness and
common sense.
-- Capital gains cannot reasonably be treated as
"extraneous" at this stage.
-- It has been a part of the budget policy debate
from the outset. It is in the House bill. Never
-- in the hundreds of hours of attack by its
opponents -- was it argued that it was
"extraneous. "
-- It would be hard to persuade the public that a
vote on the capital gains-IRA proposal should be
prevented on grounds that it is "extraneous."
Many common-sensical people would rightly say:
Why not just settle this issue with a fair vote
(on the merits) ?
IV. The Interest in Avoiding Delay
A fair vote on capital gains-IRA would take less time
than the seemingly ridiculous debate about the
doctrine of extraneity (and the extensive conflict
that might follow from it).
Moving capital gains forward need not in any way
interfere with responsible efforts to strip the
reconciliation bill of truly extraneous material.
(This stripping could be done either by leadership
agreement or by negotiation in Conference.)
o Failing to provide for fair treatment of the capital
gains-IRA issue will undoubtedly lead not only to
delay but to sequester -- for the simple practical
reason that the time spent trying to gain fair
treatment is precious.
-- The clock is ticking. And the Senate Democratic
leadership is fiddling with extraneity.
V. The Interest in Compromise
o
The Administration would be willing to support any
fair process for resolving the capital gains-IRA
matter. Fairness, in this circumstance, means:
-- The issue should be decided in the Senate on its
merits -- by a simple majority vote.
-- There must be satisfactory assurance (by the
nature of the process and by House-Senate
leadership) that the bill to which a capital
gains-IRA amendment might have a fair opportuity
to be attached will be presented to the President
no later than the reconciliation bill (or the bill
necessary to end a sequester).

SUBJECT: WILSON FOR GOVERNOR CAMPAIGN - CALIFORNIA
Several days ago, I received the attached copy of an internal Wilson campaign
memo regarding their financial situtation. This copy was provided to me by
Bobby Holt, who has been contacted by the Wilson organization for help.
I have highlighted some of the key points of the memo. Their biggest "fear"
is that with a new MOR poll showing the Wilson lead shrinking from 10 points
over the summer to 2 points today (over Van DeKamp), and with the upcoming
finance report due on December 31, they will only be reporting $4 million,
$2 million under their finance plan and perhaps lower than what Van DeKamp
will be showing for that same period.
They indicate that Norm Cummings and I have both provided encouragement to
the campaign that a Presidential event is still possible in 1989. I cannot
speak for Norm, but I can tell you that as late as my recent trip to the
state Convention in California, I told the Wilson folks that an '89 visit
was highly unlikely -- that they would be better to plan for early '90.
I wanted you to be aware of this information. I still expect that the White
House will receive renewed pleas for a visit to California, from Lee Atwater
et al.
Thank you.

Re: Campaign Dilemma
Background
As you know, we reported 3.5 million cash on hand June
30. our overall budget of 19 million dollars requires a 6
million dollar cash on hand figure by December 31.
Originally, there were two options to raise the
additional 1.5 million net dollars (net beyond both
fundraising and ongoing political expenses).
Option 1: Continue the frantic pace of house parties
that characterized the first six months of 1989.
Option 2: A two million dollar dinner with the
President supported by lesser house parties.
The problems with option 1 are a) the Senator's
attendance record would continue to plummet -- an issue sure
to be used against us in light of his rapid switch from the
U.S. Senate to the Gubernatorial race, b) the easy house
party money has been raised, making each succeeding event
more difficult and, c) fundraising overhead is far higher on

these multiple events.
Therefore, we were very pleased when, at a May 10th
dinner, Chairman Atwater told Pete, Bob and I that we could
have the President for a Fall fundraiser. Frequent
conversations with Jim Wray at the White House, Norm Cummings
at the RNC and others about possible dates have kept us
?
counting on this dinner. Now, with the passage of time,
option 1 -- the house parties -- is no longer available to
us, If no don't get the President for a major dinner, we
will report only four million dollars on hand December 31.
Dilemma
If we report four million dollars cash on hand December
31, not only will we be two million dollars behind our
budget, we will be reporting a figure nearly equal to or
possibly even lower than Van De Kamp's. And, if the upcoming
California Poll is anything like the recent MOR Poll which
shows us leading Van De Kamp by only two points (44-42), the
public perception of this race will be transformed from a
"Pete Wilson's to lose" to a "Wilson in trouble, Van De Kamp
has the momentum" horse race, greatly energizing his side.
Request
There seems to be a feeling at the White House --
perhaps prompted by our own glowing reports -- that we really
don't need the help at this time. Nothing can be farther
from the truth. Not only do we need help badly, our other
options have been foreclosed by the passage of time. We
need: 1) Our case made to the President himself that we
badly need his help, We feel we must make our case to the
President because it appears that he personally is unaware of
our position while Atwater and the political STRIE all
support us. 2) A quick answer, so that we can either make
the most out of a Bush dinner on a short fuse between now and
Nov./Dec., or get another dinner going with a lesser light as

a draw.
of course, if matters of state are preventing the
President from coming, our campaign will have to suffer. We
are all proud of the job the President is doing with foreign
policy particularly. But it should be remembered that: 1)
A Republican Governor in California will be the key to
President Bush's own re-election efforts and 2) California
will have four contestable congressional races with a
probable pick up of ten or more seats for the COP 11 and only
1f a Republican Governor can guarantee at fair
reapportionment. Most observers believe a switch of ten
votes in the House could give the President operational
control along with conservative democrate on many of the big
issues of the day.

DEMOCRATS:
Tony Knowles, former Mayor, Anchorage

With Senator Frank Murkowski clearly out of the race, Arliss
Sturgulewski is the early front-runner. A June, RGA poll
showed the general gubernatorial ballot with 27% Republican,
D
23% Democrat and 49% undecided. Out of the Republican primary
ballot, Arliss leads with 28%, 10 points ahead of her nearest
competition. Although there is no clear Democratic front-runner,
Governor Sheffield walks into the race with heavy baggage, and
a 51% somewhat/strongly disapprove ranking.

This will be tough for Republicans if we are unable to keep our
primary limited to two or three individuals, as Mecham seems to
enjoy a solid 20% support in the Republican primary. However,
it is clear that Governor Mofford is vulnerable and has suffered
numerous attacks from the media which underscores the fact that
she is in "over her head". This is a race to monitor closely.

While many names are floating, this clearly is the battle between
Republican switchers Tommy Robinson and Sheffield Nelson -- and
it will be spirited. There has been bad blood between the
monied Stephens family and Nelson, and it will certainly be one
of the issues during the Republican primary. Governor Clinton
is keeping his decision to himself, but Attorney General Steve
Clark has made it known he will be running regardless as to
whether Clinton is a candidate. The action is very much on the
Republican side -- for the first time in recent memory.

This is certain to be a top-targeted race, even if O'Neill chooses
not to run for re-election. The Republican primary will not
provide us problems, as front-runner John Rowland has clearly
won the backing of party establishment as well as contributors.
If O'Neill chooses not to run, Kennelly would be a tough, tough
candidate to face. Kennelly has made it known that she will not
run if O'Neill goes for re-election; however Congressman
Morrison will challenge the Governor regardless.

Luckily, we know the two candidates who will face each other in

The abortion issue has proven to be calamitous for the Democrats
in the primary, and we expect a very tough and divisive race that
will work to Governor Branstad's advantage. No real tough AG
problems on the horizon for the Governor, and his approval
ratings remain in the 60's.
