MEMORANDUM FOR THE LEADER FROM: JUDY BIVIANO~ JOHN DIAMANT.tKiou
SUBJECT: IOWA -- POINTS OF INTEREST
The Iowa economy is in recession and Governor Branstad's popularity is plummeting. Also, he recently laid off state employees; magnifying the affects of the unemployment crisis.
Senator Grassley: Senator Grassley does not have an opponent, although a democrat state senator may consider a challenge. He has not yet announced he is seeking re-election. His approval is high, according to the Des Moines Register Iowa poll, taken October 7- 16, where 78% approve of Grassley and 14% disapprove.
Senator Grassley is getting good marks for his Senate amendment to the Civil Rights Bill that extends discrimination protections to Congressional staffers. Any type of initiative which makes Congress accountable is popular, since Congress looked so bad during the check-writing scandal in the House and Thomas Hearings.
While Grassley is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, his staff advised that we not mention the Thomas hearings, but rather stress his civil rights protection amendment.
Iowa House Republicans: Iowa redistricting is completed (brief attached). Iowa is the first in the nation to pass congressional and state redistricting plans. Reps. Grandy and Leach appear to be in good shape with no opposition at this time. However, Rep. Lightfoot will have a new district which includes only 30% of his current district.
Freshmen Rep. Nussle will be forced to run against Democrat Rep. Dave Nagle. Nussle is a great campaigner who recently received national press when he put a paper bag over his head on the House floor and said the House check-bouncers should come out from hiding and admit their guilt. Additionally, Nussle last week unveiled five proposals intended to "tear down the walls that insulate Congress from the real world".
(1) a constitutional amendment to limit terms;
(2) change the way pay raises are considered;
Page 7 of 103 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu
IOWA -- POINTS OF INTEREST
(3) a requirement that Members lose a day's pay for every day Congress isn't in session past Sept. 30;
(4) eliminate the Congressional frank & benefits such as the Member's gym;
(5) cut Members' pay by 5% in every year in which Congress fails to balance the budget.
Torn Harkin for President Torn Synhorst has prepared talking points, which include some stress points on Senator Harkin's candidacy for President.
Harkin's first fundraising report shows that he raised $714,000 by September 30 -- more than anyone but Tsongas -- and nearly $60,000 from PACS (mostly labor unions). He has received "by far" more PAC money than any of the 1992 flock of democratic contenders.
In comparison, President Bush's Houston (10/31) and Dallas (11/1) events will net him almost two-thirds the money that all six democratic contenders have managed to raise.
A recent Des Moines Register poll showed Harkin's home state support growing with 58% saying it's a good idea he's running for President. Harkin has a 71% job approval rating. The Iowa head- to-head showed Bush at 48%, and Harkin is at 46%.
Attached are pertinent press articles and Torn Synhorst's briefing.

IOWA:
Both the congressional and state plans were adopted by the senate on May 10, 1991, adopted in the house on May 11, 1991, and signed into law on May 30, 1991 by Governor Terry Branstad; Iowa became the first state in the nation to pass both The plans were drawn by a nonpartisan plans. state office, the Legislative Service Bureau (LSB). Both Republicans and Democrats complained a bit, but the plans a~tually appear to be fair. A suit filed by do Republicans seeking access to the LSB's data programs is pending in the Iowa and supreme court; the data should be public information because it actually cost taxpayers $600,000.

Overview; The party is controlled by a strong, independent central committee which directs many of the activities of the state party. The State GOP has reduced their staff since the election. There are currently twelve people on staff. Financial Status: The Iowa GOP has a debt of approximately $350,000 with $110,000 incurred during the 1990.election cycle.

One of B.ransLad' s toughest critics during the last few months has been Republican State Auditor RICHARD JOHNSON, who claims the Governor is using shady bookkee.ping to balance the state's budget. Iowa Republicans were very successful at increasing their numbers i11 the legislature in l 990 and there is a good chance the GOP may be able to gain a majority in either the House or Senate in 1992. Jn 1988, President Bush only received 45% of the vote. However, very few resources were put into Iowa and the President did not return to the State after the caucuses in 1988.

Senate; U.S. SENATOR CHUCK GRASSLEV (R) faces re-election in 1992. Grassley remains popular in Iowa. In 1986, he was re-elected by the largest winning margin in Iowa history while winning in 98 of the state's 99 counties. Grassley's campaign warchest ($600,000) has also suppressed efforts by the Democratic Party to recruit a top candidate. J~J·,y Cona:ressional Rae~; Redistricting will force first term Rep\.Jblican congressman JIM NUSSEL to run against lkmocrati.c Congressman DAVE NAGLE. Nagle, a former State Party chairman, is wL·ll prepared for a tough campaign, but his liberal voting record makes him vulnerable. Nusscl ran an aggressive campaign against a more well-known opponent while winning in northeast Iowa's Democratic second district in 1990. The new district encompasses the cities of Waterloo, Duhuque, and Clinton. Congressman JIM LIGHTFOOT lost most of his old district because of redistricting and may have a tough campaign in 1992. Three Democrats have lined up to face the four lerm incumbent from southwest Iowa. The most well-known is possible challenger Democrat Secretary of State Elaine Baxter. Lightfoot is well prepared for a tough campaign. Currently, he has $180,000 in the bank. The new district includes the cities of Ames and Burlington. 1991 Redistrictine Update: The Republicans formed a group calk The redistricting plans for congressional and legislative districts were passed by the legislature on May 11, 1991. GOVEltNOR BRANSTAD signed the redistricting bill on Thursday, May 30, 1991. Both Congressional and legislative lines are included in the bill. Miscellaneous Poin~_; As an agricultural state, the attitudes of Iowa's farmers tend to direct political opinion in the state. Inflation and interest rates directly affect the farm economy, which creates a fairly quixotic public, with constant, yet ever-changing demands for government interaction. The fluctuation in demand for subsidies and price controls mirror the fluctuation in grain prices; political candidates are often the target of these demands. Despite Lhis reliance on government participation in agricullure, Iowa is a fairly conservative state; it is a family-based socieLy. The Iowa Caucuses, as the earliest Page 33 of 103 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu 10/30/91 IA p. 4 demonstration of presidential candidate preference, are a barometer for the farmer's interests and how the candidates will meet these demands. However, it should be noted that, recently, as a measure of public opinion for the entire nation, the results of the caucuses have not predicted the next President. Senator GRASSLEY (R) voted against the use of force in the Gulf. SENATOR. TOM HARKIN announced his candidacy for President in Winterset, Iowa on September 8, 1991. Many of Harkin's campaign staffers from his 1990 Senate race have taken lead roles in his presidential bid. The Iowa Caucuses will be held on February 10, 1992. On August 18, GOVERNOR B.RANSTAD'S SON, ERIC, was involved in a serious car accident in which two people were ki Ue.d when he tried to pass anolher vehicle. He has been charged with illegal passing.

GOVERNOR TERRY BRANSTAD was re-elected with one of the highest percentages ever for a GOP governor in Iowa (61 %).

They would like to do it anotner time. The only other thing you indicated an interest .i,n doin9 in Wichita was KEYN's Mens Expo, which you could do1 after you speak at the Republican State Committee Meeting, which is over at 1 p.m. If you spent an hour at the trade show, which you may not want to do, you would be through i~ Kansas by 2zi5 or 2s30 p.m. at the latest. Jo-Anne told me ye~terday Kim had indicated to her that while it would be nice to have you at the State Committee meeting, it was not ~omething you should feel you had to do. I a.polo9ize for the oversight in not mentioning that Riverside Hospital is located in Wichita. If you decided to do a tour there, we could add another hour to your Kansas time, but you would still be through a~ 3:30 p.m. or 3:45 p.m. at the latest. The flight time to Oes Moine~ from Wichita is an hour and a half. Since there are no other events around the state that interest you, you may want to forego coming to Kansas this weekend.

This committee has been studying possible changes to transform the By-Laws and Constitution into a set of Standing Rules. These rules were discussed at a meeting of the State Executive Committee in early July. Later that month, the committee unanimously recommended that the State Committee adopt these rules. Highlights of the rules include a section that prohibits the State Party from taking sides in contested primaries. Either all candidates will receive equal support, or no support. Other changes have been made to comply with changes in state law and a general "modernizing0 of the rules. 2. Delegate Selection Process The Delegate Selection Process rules that have been proposed (the State Executive Committee unanimously recommends adoption) would make substantive changes to the way in which delegates are elected. 214 WEST SIXTH ST., TOPEKA, KS 66603 • 913·234·3416 Page 98 of 103 KANSAS REPUBLICANS This documentTEL isNo.913-234-3436 from the collections at the Dole Archives, UniversityOct of 28,91Kansas 15:52 No.005 P.04 http://dolearchives.ku.edu Mike Glassner October 28, 1991 page two The proposed rules (see attached) would mandate that at the time they file to be on the ballot, all Presidential candidates file a slate of l.~ times the number of delegates and alternates from Kansas (60 x 1.5 = 90).
