MEMORANDUM

To: Senator Bob Dole Jo-Anne Coe

From: Douglas J. McAuliffe

RE: Briefing for Michigan/Schuette Trip

Date: 5/20/90

For your review I have broken this memo into two categories:

1. Michigan political environment 2. Schuette campaign talking points

1. Michigan Political Environment

* DETROIT/MAYOR YOUNG: The city and the mayor are in continuous hot water. The city faces default ($80 million budget deficit). A tax which the city had levied illegally (according to a state judge), has been repealed. It generated nearly $100 mills in revenue. There is a fight in the legislature about the tax. The GOP wants a guarantee for property tax reform. Engler is behind this move. The Governor has remained out of the fight. This battle began last March. There is still no sight of an agreement on the issue.

The Mayor is also in the midst of bad press because of a private company that he set up to buy and sell South African Kreuggrands. On of the Mayor's business partner, Ken Wiener, is up on state and federal charges that deal with his financial activities. The best recommendation is stay away from Young and Detroit comments.

* ENGLER/BLANCHARD - RACIST COMMERCIAL: Blanchard is airing an ad that depicts a state boot camp for drug offenders. It has been called racists by Engler, some black Detroit state legislators and Arthur Johnson of the NAACP. The first week Blanchard aired the ad it played in all markets except Detroit. This added to the racist accusations.

Engler is touting a survey that shows him trailing Blanchard by 16%. They also claim Blanchard's re-elect to be 40%, with a new- person of 49%.

* MILITARY BUDGET IMPLICATIONS: Three important items in Michigan; Warren Tank Plant, MX Missile, and Wurtsmith Air Force Base. Cheney wants to phase out the Warren plant in favor of the Lima, Ohio plant. Both Schuette and Levin oppose this. Schuette brought Army Secretary

Stone to visit the plant in April.

Levin opposes the MX. This is causing him problems in norther Michigan (where he has over-performed in the past) . Schuette supports the MX rail basing in Michigan, four hundred new jobs, over $100 mills in new construction money.

Wurtsmith is located in Oscoda, Michigan. Bob Davis and Schuette are opposing the closing of the base. It is in Davis's district. At a public hearing last week both Schuette and Davis spoke. Over 1,000 people attended.

* ISRAEL: As you are aware there is a very strong Jewish network in southeast Michigan. Beaware of the foreign aid question. Schuette opposes reducing foreign aid for the Camp David Accord countries.

2. Schuette Campaign Points

The campaign continues to build our organization for both the primary and the general election. Bill has continued to focus on Levin, avoiding Durant. The campaign both thematically and technically is prepared for Durant (conservative agenda/taxes/drugs/crime, voter programs, endorsements, organization, coalitions and media) .

* ENDORSEMENTS: Schuette has very large leads:

* 51 of 70 State Legislators (Durant has 4) * 60 of 84 GOP County Chairs (Durant has less then 20) * Gov. George Romney * Congressmen Paul Henry and Bob Davis * MI United Conservation Clubs Ex. Dir Tom Washington *Dick Headlee (Gov. candidate '82, leading tax conservative

* FINANCIAL SUPPORT: The campaign has raised $1.3 million to-date. For the primary we will raise and spend $1.6 million. The general election budget is over $3.5 million. (Lousma spend $2.1 million in 1984) .

Nearly all the major financial people are supporting Schuette. These include: Max Fisher, Rich Devos and Jay Van Andel of Amway, Joe Antonini (K-Mart), Bob Stempel (GM Chair-elect), Heinz Precther, Tim Leuliette (Seimens-Bendix President), Paul Oreffice (Dow Chair) and Bill Kast (DP Corp and Team 100) .

ISSUES: Schuette has concentrated on the issues of taxes, drugs, crime and protecting the environment. We have introduced comprehensive packages on: taxes (raise the standard deduction with a cap of $60,000 AGI, cut in the Cap-Gains to 10% and an expanded IRA/$6,000 limit); an anti-crime and drug package with a heavy enforcement approach, the death penalty and drug education funds; and a bill to prevent the storage of low-level nuclear wastes in

Michigan's fragile environment.

LEVIN/SCHUETTE: This is the campaign focus. Beaware of the following:

TAXES: Levin raises taxes. Schuette opposes Bush's wavering on taxes, any taxes. Levin wants a gas tax, oil import fee, raise the upper bracket to 33%, alcohol and tobacco taxes expanded.

DRUGS/CRIME: Levin has never co-sponsored the drug packages in the Senate (due to the death penalty) . He is the leading opponent to the death penalty. We caught him getting on drug bills that were six to eight months old to cover his record for the campaign. he claims to have ''written the law to punish those who sell drugs near schools." In fact it was already in the drug package and he merely amended the bill on the floor.

ENVIRONMENT: All of his campaign talking points on the environment are proposed legislation. He has passed nothing.

MICHIGAN STOPS

DETROIT Michigan l's large auto factories, including plants owned by Buick, R.E. Olds, and Fisher Brothers. The North Side of Detroit became a sea of single-family and two-family houses for assembly- line workers from rural Michigan, Appalachia and Eastern Europe. Highland Park, a city entirely surrounded by Detroit, is the home of the Chrysler Corporation.

Michigan 1 is overwhelmingly black (71%) but better off than the inner-city Thirteenth District. In the early 1980's, population in the Thirteenth District dropped by nearly 14%, more than any other Congressional District in the country. A mix of working class and poverty-level black neighborhoods, the heart of the ghetto bisects the city, heading northwest through some of the wealthier suburbs. Inner City Detroit is livelier today than in the 1970's, when it was labeled the "Murder Capital".

Michigan 14, is a 15-mile corridor with an ethnic and social diversity. Grosse Pointe Shores and Grosse Pointe Farms -- the Ford Family estate among them -- are at the district's far eastern end. The auto industry attracted Poles, Germans, Italians, and Belgians who settled here. Michigan 17 combines white-collar suburban territory with a blue collar presence inside the Detroit city limits.

GRAND RAPIDS

Gerald Ford's old district, Michigan 5, is centered on Michigan's second largest city. During Ford's presidency, the city attained an image as clean-cut, all-American, and Republican. High-tech and service industries in the area include aircraft instrumentation firms, a Keebler cookie distribution center, and the national headquarters of Amway Corporation. Professionals, technicians and managers inhabit the area, which also includes auto-parts factories and furniture manufacturers.

MICHIGAN -- POLITICAL SCENARIO

U.S. Senate Race

POLLING: Michigan polling continues to exemplify Senator Levin's vulnerability. His reel

But first, Schuette must overcome conservative primary opponent Clark Durant (Grosse Point attorney) on August 7.

SURROGATES: Secretary Mosbacher will be appearing for Schuette on June 28. Budget Director Darman will be in Michigan in July, and Secretary Skinner and George Bush, Jr., plan a stop on July 12. Earlier this year, Clayton Yeutter was in Michigan on Schuette's behalf. Oliver North went in for Durant recently, but the fundraiser was not terribly successful.

CAMPAIGN THEMES: Congressman Schuette's effective legislating has earned him various House floor leadership positions. In addition, Schuette serves on the House Budget Committee, where he's played a major role establishing national budget priorities and introducing a bi- partisan, comprehensive budget reform package. Schuette also serves on the Agriculture Committee and markets himself as a leader in setting national agriculture policy. His themes include commitment to fiscal responsibility, job growth, and help to the farmers. He has been a vocal supporter of Social Security and Medicare through his work on the Select Committee on Aging.

ISSUES TO STRESS: Clean Air Act. Southeast Michigan is generally supportive of the legislation, and Western Michigan is very supportive. He has made protecting the environment one of his campaign themes, and recently introduced a bill on low-level radioactive waste sites.

Taxes. Schuette has introduced a comprehensive package on taxes including a capital gains tax cut and revised IRA accounts.

Druos and Crime. Michigan's violent crime rate is 5th in the nation, and Detroit continues to be a midwest drug-trafficking capital. Schuette is stressing his commitment to tougher anti-crime provisions including mandatory minimum sentences, death penalty reinstated at the federal level for a variety of offenses, and new prison construction. He also addresses drug interdiction and eradication and education and treatment in his proposal. Levin has yet to co-sponsor a drug package in the Senate. He is the leading opponent of the death penalty.

MICHIGAN POLITICAL SCENARIO PAGE TWO

Schuette commitment to military installations. The Warren Tank Plant has been cut from the President's defense proposal. Both Schuette and Levin are working to keep it open. Schuette hosted Army Secretary Mike Stone for a plant tour which received good press. The Wurtsmith Air Force Base (Osconda) is one of the bases the Air Force has recommended closing. Both Schuette and Rep. Bob Davis are actively trying to keep it open. Schuette supports rail basing the MX missile in northern Michigan (Wurtsmith) which would bring over $100 million construction dollars into unemployment-plagued northern Michigan and create 400 new jobs.

ISSUES TO AVOID Foreign Aid Proposal. Southeast Michigan has a very strong Jewish network, and Schuette opposes reducing foreign aid for the Camp David Accord countries.

Detroit in distress; Mayor Younq. While the city faces default with an $80 million budget deficit, there is a legislative fight currently about a property tax. There is no agreement on this issue, which is mostly being discussed at the gubernatorial level. Also, Mayor Young is again getting bad press on business dealings.

Other Elections

Gubernatorial. Incumbent Democrat George Blanchard recently aired a controversial campaign commercial that depicts a state boot camp for drug offenders. GOP Gubernatorial candidate, Senate Majority Leader John Engler (yes, Colleen's ex-husband) and others are calling the ad "racist'' (See attached). Engler is touting recent survey data indicating that he's within 16% of Blanchard.

Congressional. Bill Schuette's Tenth District open seat has a 3- way primary between State Rep. Dave Camp (former Schuette aide), U.S. Senate candidate Jim Dunn, former State Senator Alan Cropsey, and businessman Jim Simcox. On the Democrat side, Don Albosta, who Schuette defeated in 1984 and 1986 is the most often mentioned candidate.

REDIS'l'RICTING/ With a Republican Senate (20-18) and Democrat CENSUS IMPAC'l' House (60-49), the Governor's race is being carefully watched by the RNC.

Expected to 10jse two congressional seats, due to the population dip brought on by the early recession of the .1980's. Much of the population loss is in George Crockett's 13th District in inner-city Detroit, which lost 14% of its population between 1980-1986. In spite of th.is drop in population, a strong effort will be made to preserve the city's two majority-black districts by extending them into the suburbs.

15 AP 05-25-90 08:42 EDT 21 LINES PM-MI--U.S. Senate-Poll,170< Survey Shows Levin Lapping GOP Challengers< jrimam< DETROIT (AP) Sen. Carl Levin, D-·Mich., has a comfortable lead over both Republicans seeking to unseat hlm this year, according to a Detroit News survey published today. Levin would defeat U.S. Rep. Bill Schuette, R-Sanford, by a margin of 58 percent to 21 percent if the election were held today, the News said. Another 16 percent of respondents didn't indicate a preference, and 5 percent favored neither candidate or did not answer. Levin also would defeat Grosse Pointe lawyer W. Clark Durant, 63 percent to 14 percent, with 17 percent uncertain. The remainder backed neither candidate or didn't respond. The results were based on telephone surveys of 696 registered Michigan voters conducted from May 20-22 by Schulman, Ronca and Bucuvalas Inc. of New York. The margin of error was 4 percentage points. Schuette and Durant will face off in the Aug. 7 primary for the right to challenge Levin. The two-term incumbent is unopposed for the Democratic nomination.<

(AP) Congressman Bill Schuette has the backing of former Gov. George Romney in his battle for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. ''Bill Schuette represents a new generation of leadership for Michigan's future. He is experienced, able and dedicated to the issues which challenge our great state and nation jobs, drugs, crime and the environment,'' said Romney, a Republican. Schuette, who represents the 10th Congressional District, said Thursday's endorsement was an honor. Romney, who was elected governor in 1962 and resigned in 1969 to become U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, will also serve as honorary vice chairman of the campaign, said Schuette. The Sanford Republican is pitted against Detroit lawyer Clark Durant for the right to oppose Democratic incumbent Carl Levin of Detroit in the November general election. ''rt comes as no surprise,'' Durant said of Romney's endorsement. ''I'm happy to see the former governor is still active in politics and hope he stays active all the way through November to defeat Carl Levin.''<

11 AP 05-24-90 03:11 EDT 62 LINES BC-IA--Radioactive Waste,520< Lawmaker Says Riga Township Out< By MALCOLM JOHNSON= Associated Press Writer= LANSING, Mich. (AP) Lenawee County's Riga Township is being dropped as a candidate to host a regional low-level radioactive waste disposal facility, an official said. James Cleary, commissioner of the Michigan Low-Level Radioactive Waste Authority, said in a prepared statement Tuesday that Riga Township failed to meet state siting criteria on wetlands, flooding and ~round water discharge. ' As relates specifically to the Riga Township candidate area, the end result is that when pieces of the candidate area are eliminated because of these individual factors, not enough land remains in a large enough block for purposes of site characterization,'' Cleary's statement said. Site characterization is the detailed study of a possible site to make sure it's acceptable. ''In the broader perspective, I doubt that any location in Michigan can meet the strict siting criteria for a low-level radioactive waste facility under state law,'' Cleary said. State Rep. Timothy Walberg, R-Tipton, said Cleary called him to tell him Riga had been eliminated from consideration. Cleary was scheduled 'i:o hold a briefing this afternoon on Riga's fate. ''I'm excited,'' Walberg said about the decision. But he said three other locations in Lenawee County are under consideration for the site. ''we'll celebrate tonight but be prepared to deal with it in the future,'' Walberg said. The decision was also hailed by state Sen. Norman Shinkle, R-Lambertville. ''It's unfortunate that this decision was delayed for so long,'' he said. ''These people have endured undue stress worrying about what could happen.'' State officials had narrowed their search for a suitable area to Riga Township. Cleary has said that if the township was ruled out he'd lean toward considering all 78 remaining sites in 28 counties. ''This process continues in Michigan because of the federal mandate,'' Cleary's statement said. He said many officials are trying to change the federal law calling for several regional sites. Michigan was chosen in 1987 to host the first Midwest regional low-level waste disposal facility to serve seven states Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Since October 97 percent of the state has been eliminated from consideration for the site. State officials ruled out proposed areas in Ontonagon and St. Clair counties in February mainly because of wetlands. Early this month a citizens advisory board voted 6-0 against construction of a waste facility in Riga Township because of wetlands and flooding worries. The 1,200-acre site would hold a disposal facility constructed to house waste from nuclear power plants, industry, medicine, universities and other generators of low-level radioactive waste. State politicians have jumped on the issue.

The state is suing the federal government over the law requiring regional sites. Senate Majority Leader John Engler, R-Mount Pleasant and a gubernatorial candidate, is pushing a resolution to ask that Michigan be relieved of responsibility for the facility. U.S. Rep. Bill Schuette, R-Sanford, has introduced national legislation to let Michigan off the hook.
