Bliss:\n\"Dear Ray:\n\"As you and your committee are scheduled to meet with representa-\ntives of interested cities February 20 and 21, I take this opportunity\nto present my strong recommendation and hope that you will elect to\nhold the 1968 Republican National Convention in California.\n\"California has two Republican United States Senators and, with\nthe victories of last November 8, Republicans now hold all state\nconstitutional offices but one. Those victories, together with the\ngains made by Republicans in the state Senate, Assembly, and\nCongressional delegations are strong evidence that Republican fortunes\ncontinue to rise in this state. Holding the convention here surely\nwill help to put California, the nation's most populous state, in the\nRepublican victory column on November 5, 1968.\n\"In addition to these political reasons, I believe that California\noffers exceptional convention facilities as well as press, television\nand radio services which would assure maximum coverage at minimum\nadditional expense and arrangements. The high spirit of cooperation\nby political, civic and business leaders of both parties has been\ndemonstrated during past conventions and, with our Republican adminis-\ntration in Sacramento, will be even better.\n\"Many of the delegates and their families have already enjoyed\nvisits to California, and all would look forward to doing SO. Therefore,\nselection of a California site also insures that this convention can\nbe happy and fun as well as successful.\n\"I add these thoughts and recommendations to those which will be\npresented in person by our various California representatives.\n\"With all good wishes,\n\"Sincerely, Ronald Reagan, Governor\"\n# # #\nLN/70\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nMEMO TO THE PRESS\nSacramento, California\nContact: Lyn Nofziger\n445-4571\n2.17.67\nAn executive clemency hearing has been scheduled by Clemency\nSecretary Edwin Meese in the case of Dorman Fred Talbot, Jr. for\nTuesday, February 21, in the Council Room of the Governor's Office\nat 11:00 a.m. Talbot was convicted of first degree murder in Santa\nBarbara County. Execution is scheduled for March 1, 1967.\nThe following is background information on Talbot:\nDorman Fred Talbot Jr., now 26, was convicted of first degree\nmurder on July 15, 1965, in Santa Barbara Superior Court, where the\ncase ha been transferred from Ventura County due to an order for a\nchange of venue. The murder was committed March 12, 1965 in\nPort Hueneme.\nTalbot was convicted of murdering Michael Dean Bartholomew, 21. Tal-\nbot's accomplices included: Albert Ray Randall, now serving a life term\nin San Quentin for first degree murder, Barbara C. Randall, Albert's\nwife, who was convicted of receiving stolen property and is now in the\nwomen's prison at Frontera.\nTestimony for his trial revealed the following facts: Talbot, 21,\nalong with other persons, murdered Michael Dean Bartholomew, a young\nsailor who was being mustered out of the Navy. The murder was committed\nin the course of \"rolling\" Bartholomew for his severance pay.\nBartholomew was staying with some mutual friends in Ventura County.\nTalbot and his accomplices tried to turn on a gas heater in the house\nwhere Bartholomew was staying so as to asphyxiate him. This did not\nsucceed, although it did apparently dull Bartholomew's senses. When it\nwas discovered that the sailor had not been killed by the gas, Talbot\npicked up a heavy metal object and hit him over the head several times.\nHe then stabbed the victim with a knife, and Bartholomew expired from\nmultiple stab wounds and the severe beating. After the victim had been\nmurdered, the body was kept around for a day until it could be decided\nwhat to do with it. Eventually, Talbot and an accomplice transported\nthe body in an automobile and threw it onto the rocks near the ocean\nfront at Pt. Mugu.\nFollowing Talbot's conviction, a penalty hearing was held, and\nthe jury imposed the death penalty on Talbot by its verdict on July 22,\n1965.\nThe conviction and penalty were unanimously affirmed by the\nSuperior Court of California on June 3, 1966. The original execution\ndate of September 14, 1966, was stayed by order of Justice Douglas,\nwhile a petition for a writ of certiorari was filed in the U. S.\nSupreme Court, which petition was denied. The Superior Court then set\nthe execution date for March 1, 1967.\nThe clemency hearing will be open to the press.\n# # #\nLN/71\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nContact: Lyn Nofziger\nDDECO\n445-4571\n2.17.67\nRELEASE:\nIMMEDIATE\nSacramento--Gov.
