MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT FROM: FRANK MOORE /7/JhR. SUBJECT: THE CAMPAIGN SCHEDULING EFFORT

Following your memorandum of January 25 to the Ca.binet a_nd Senior staff, a Campaign Schedulri·n.g Committee was formed at the. staff level in my office to coordinate appearances by Adm:i'nistration officials on behalf of members of Cor:~gress. In addition,, we are working with Jack Watson's staff on gubernatodal races. Through periodic meetings and frequent contact with the DNC and the Cong,ressi.onal Campaign Commi.ttees and Hill soundinqs by our Liaison staff, the Committee has developed a target list of the most marginal House, Senate and governors' seats in the country (the seats in which our help will make the most difference). This list~· of course, is constantly changi•ng and requires close moni torir:lg;. (The most recent list is attached).

We ~ave divided the House seats into three categories. The first consists of roughly fifty s.eats which a•re the most marginal in the country. T•his category includes those seats where the Democratic nominee is facing great difficulty or those Republican or open seats we consider to be our best opportunities for Democratic retention or takeover. The second category lists the next thirty seats that may become marginal in the coming months but, at present, are not as volatile as those in category one. The third category consists of our 50-60 best supporters (based on their voti~g records} Who are not marginal. The Senate and Goverr:~ors are divided into o.nly two categories: ma·rginal races and races that could become marg.inal.

On a weekly basis the Committee gathers a·nd has computerized the schedules of every major Administration official (approximately 60 persons). Daily, the Committee reviews pending requests and attempts to match the requests with the schedules. The maJority of appearances, how.ever, ~ave been planned by t~sing a trip that is already scheduled a•nd 11 addinq on 11 a half day before or after the trip to make a stop for a marginal candidate in the area. ~Je have found it a !lreat deal easier to get officials to give us a few hot:H'S on ar:~ existing trip than to ask them to schedule a trip solely for a candidate. Some officials, however, occasionally gi've us a block of time (1 or 2 days), and we have 11 created11 several campaign swings through particular areas. Later in the year, as election day approaches,

·;:. - 2 -

we will need more 11 0pen 11 time to meet requests .. For this reason it would be helpful if you could ask Cabinet members to leave their September and October calendars as open as possible. When we analyzed the appearances already scheduled as of February, we discovered that officials had made as many appearances for those people we did not want to be helping as they had for those we wanted to help. In our last count this week, however, we found a marked change in this trend. Since the February report, 80% of the appearances by members of the Administration had been for marginal and supportive candidates, and 20% for non-marginals. The table below describes the changes in absolute numbers.

Combined Totals 157 142 299 - 3 -

We have made a special effort to ensure that the schedulers in the various departments and agencies understand the importance of this project. A representative from each Department and agency attended a seminar organized by Mike Berman at the White House to be instructed in the basic procedures for the project, the legal factors involved in such activity, and the most effective use of these trips in terms of press and politics. Before each trip, each speaker receives a package containing a brief demographic description of the area to be visited, the ·names of major media contacts., the names of early Carter supporters and contributors, and a copy of a sample Democratic party speech. As issues such as tax reform or Ci'vi'l Service reorganization arise, pertinent materials are included in the information packets. Bill Simon has been coordinating this. The degree of cooperation that the Cabinet and Seni,or staff has exhi'bited l:las been, with a few exceptions, good. The. Vice President has done the lion's share of key appearances (19 as of th.is report). Thus far, Secretaries Vance and Brown and Attorney General Bell have not participated in the program. We are in the process of clarifying exactly to what degree they can participate in political events. In some cases we have underused our resources; in others we have simply received no cooperation. Ambassador Young has not, as yet., sent us one copy of his schedule. We have a great need for Administration ·Officials who can appeal to districts that are becoming increasingly conservative and to the business community, at whi'ch most members' fundraising efforts are aimed. Given this burden, which at present is falling almost solely on the shoulders of Ambassador Strauss, we will need the cooperation of Charlie Schultze and Secretary Blumenthal. My staff has taken the initiative in contacting targeted House, Senate and gubernatorial candidates wewish to help. In our contacts, we ask for a 1etter outl i ntng the cand!i'date' s needs for appearances by Administration offici.als. We have been receiving 11 Shopping. lists 11 and have been ab 1e to fill, with one or two exceptions, every request. In some cases, we wi 11 decide that a member's relatively 11 Safe 11 status precludes our favorable constderation of his request, as our resources can be better used elsewhere. This is a difficult concept to explain to a member. It would be helpful if the leadership were asked to give us their support for the concept of using the majority of our resources in the most marginal races. Our initiative has been very effective in three ways: (1) It concretely expresses our interest in, and support of, the electoral well-being of Democrats, an expression which is sorely needed. (2) It combats the tendency of incumbents and non-incumbents alike to run for re-election independent of (if not against) the Administration. (Of 292 Democrats elected to the House in 1976, only 22 ran behind us in their districts). It will be difficult for them to run against the Administration if we are helping them at fundraisers and other appearances .. (3) It helps us reach our immediate legislative goals through posi'tive political feedback on the Hi 11. - 4 -

As a further tool for helping Members rea.ch their constituents, we have in the planning stages a program in which 11 teams 11 of three or four second-level policy persons from appropriate agencies will visit a Congressi'onal district for two to three days, holding non~political town meetings and small group discussions on a wide variety of programs or issues. · The number of candidates whom we. have been able to contact and help thus far has been somewhat limited by the problem of contested primaries. Despite the obviousdanger in becoming ~nvolved in contests between Democrats, we are pressured to a.id incumbents in order to attain our legislative objectives. Additionally, any involvement on our part is constrai'ned by the need to monitor hundreds of filings around the country. We must, too often, re.ly on inaccurate information. Given the financial problems of the DNC, a full-time targeting person is not a·s yet employed, and gathering accurate and

Washi~gton to examine t.he newly adopted goals of Southern Baptist ~:.:...:.:.. missions.· The issue seemed clear. The goal of sharing the gospel with every person in the world by the year 2000 was the expressed will O·f our people. It was also the marching order of the Great Commission. However, some new approaches for accomplishing that purpose would he ne.cessary for capturing the imagination of our people. The energy and compassion of thirteen mil·lion Southern Baptist Christians needed a bold new thrust.

From my perspective I could also see that the ne~d for a spiritual awakening in our nation is crucial. As the elected leader O·f our nation, I am aware of the fact that spiritual a\vakening does not come from laws, programs, or political pro ... posals. I felt and continue to feel the. importance of strengthening· the.· spiritual and moral character of our people. It is crucial to the moral leadership of our nation in the family of nations. It is crucial for our very survival as a people. The experience can impact not only the lives of persons but also the nature of institutions. My own experience teaching missions to Royal Ambassador boys, serving in lay mission witnessing sharing my faith, and teaching the Bible in my church led me to fe.el that this new st.ep of mis·sions could be created by challenging all of our

people to participate ~n witnessing on a broad ne.w scale. We had models t.o work from in t:he two year mission commitments of Southern Baptist Journeymen overseas and the US-2 volunteers in our own country. The Mormons had set a pattern of a long tradition of sending their young people two by two all over the \ -. world. With their smaller number_of constituents they still have more than tw-enty thousand missionaries out in that kind of mission service. The models of P·eace Corps and Vista vo.hinte·ers have proven _ a high degree of idealism and effectiveness of service by Americans sent in secular roles as helpers in other cultures. It became my opportunity to challenge the messengers to­ our Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Kansas City to enlist and support five thousand additional volunteers in full time service in the next five years. This goal·was fashioned by a work group of agency leaders, some of_ whom are at this head table this evening. The Southe,rn -Baptist Convention messengers adopted that­ goal with enthusiasm. Out of that action has evolved what we are_ calling the Mission Service Corps. It is the concerte·d effort of

~- . our convention, working at every level of our life from the local church, association, state convention, and national mission boards to enlist, locate financial support, screen, train, and assign to s.pecific tasks pe-rs·ons of all ages who will give themselves to work without salary for one to two years of mission service. The idea represents what I described then as a "quantum leap forward" in world missions witness. The idea of doubling our career mission forces before the end o.f the century and doubling our cooperative program giving is a part of this overall strategy. However, the concept of opening new opportunity for servite to our young people, our mid-career people, and our retired people may represent the most significant

2 ,._

addi tiona! ·resource o·f mission manpower s.:i!nce the be·ginning of our mj.ssion boards more than a hundred years ago. This constitutes the opportunity for all of us to move toward a sacrificial level of involvement of our lives and talents and material resources for sharing the gospel with our world. In this year, we have been toolihg up our programs and structures to promot·e the five thousand volunteers in five years. I have followed closely the reports of the way God has been moving among our Southern Baptist people. The call for volunteers has. gone out. More than two-thousand five-ht:mdred young people and adults have indicated their willingness to give two years of their lives without salary if the task could be defined and the support found. That number simply touches the hem of the garment because the on-going promotion of this idea still is being fashio.ned. A great numher of our people do not really understand what we are talking about yet. Even so the people are willing to respond. I am told that the.re is a tremendous ent·husiasm wherever the challenge has .been laid out before congregations and convent ions . The plac.es for these people to serve are being fas'hioned by our \V'orkers in p.ioneer mission areas and overseas. Almost fifteen-hundred job descriptions and tasks have already been processed. In an enterprise as far flung as our mission efforts in ninety countries in the world, it takes time for some of these new steps to be taken, but it is b·eing d.one.

3 .. We are gathered here at a ctucial time in the process. The Ol)e major factor in freeing us to launch this effort is the securing ·Of financial support. This is the opportunity for individuals and groups of individuals to help make it happen. I am glad to be a part of this meeting which·nr. Allen an.d Mr. Cooper have called. I believe that the resources lihich. God has given to thos.e of us in this room can make the difference in the way our people respond. There are people who are willing· to .give themselves without salary. We here tonight can

demonstrate a path which thou£ands of our fellow South~rn Baptists will want to follow. The financial resources in the trusteeship of Southern Baptist hands.are immense. God has so blessed us that we have a special responsibility to give consistently and sacrificially for this new day of mission advance. Plans are .worked out for· us to have 'a maximum de·gree of choice about how our money is used. The screening processes are in the hands o·f the mission agencies, but we can have a personal knowledge of the people we are supporting, .where they are,· what they are doing. We can also know that if we ·do not do it, it will not happen. That's a creative partnership in missions which can make all the difference in igniting the fires of evangelism and ministry through Southern Baptists around the world. Many other groups are being.used of God to touch people in spiritual awakening. However, I am convinced; as a Southern

I hope you will help. the South.ern Baptist family make the kind of advance which will receive our Master's commendation of "Well done thou good and faithftil servant."

I ' '\ ATTACHED"LETTER FROM DR. HANK THOMASSEN READS AS FOLLOWS

12 April, 1978

I was delighted to see and speak with you at the

"Salute to the President" in in January. Both

Helen and I were grateful to sharein the festivities

honoring you and your wife. As it happened, I also had

the high privilege of joining Governor Busbee, Bert

Lance, and Hamilton Jordan, among others, in speaking

(as a substitute) at the related afternoon-seminar on

"Sunbelt Economics". It-was a great day.

I have been especially interested lately in your

remarks and developing policy on inflation. Though price

behavior is not really separable from that of output,

employment, trade, the distribution of income, and the

like, public sentiment and recent experience are combining

to make inflationappear as a free-standing problem.

Worse yet, cures for the malady are proposed without

serious consideration of inherent sit with the economic

arrangement. To me, it appears that even some of your

anti-inflation proposals, as put forth very effectively

yesterday for example, show signs of the same weakness.

This concerns me greatly since, if I am right, your

attempts to deal with inflation run considerable risk

of failing and at the same time may forestall pursuit

of more promising steps. - 2 -

In particular, I see economic incongruity and only slight and temporary promise in the approach that directs

"moral suasion" at the private sector. Whether won by damning press releases or purchase boycotts, private sensitivity to an announced posture of the public interest

is at odds with the basic operating principles of

capitalism. Economic advance in America has depended

upon competitively-constrained pursuits of self-interest

in wages, profits, and purchases. To ask all to hold back is to inhibit the best operation of the system.

Only by allowing differentially-higher monetary rewards

to go to growth industries or occupation and to preferred products can resources be shifted to where they satisfy most. And, neither the behavior of the past couple of years nor the investigations of a federal council is apt

to be as good a guide to "proper" price and wage behavior

as that of well-informed, risk-accepting private

enterpreneurs, workers and consumers.

Moreover, being inconsistent with the system,

I do not think appeals for socially-beneficial behavior will haveconsequential anti-inflationary impact except

temporarily. In the beginning, businesses may scale down

announced (but perhaps only "barometric") price changes

and unions may retreat from called-for (but not necessarily - 3 -

expected) wage increases. Yet, when the novelty of federal

participation in price and wage decisions becomes common­

place and so disappears, the sensitivities are apt to wither. Moreover, government cannot be fully informed

in all situations and cannot restrain uniformly. Benefits

afforded in special instances (like the coal industry,

perhaps) will come to be sought generally and government will fall--victim to its own variable actions.

Even the example-setting behavior of government in

conta~ning wages boosts or in limiting expenditures is

apt to bear little weight in restricting private price

and wage boosts. Government has never been regarded

as a simple extension of the private sector. It has

always had the image of being different, of being

subject to different (non-market) rules. What government

then does in limiting payments or purchases will hardly

be seen as imitable.

Though the moral-suasion approach is certainly a

laudable effort to crush themomentum of inflation, its

separation from and its inconsitency with the basic

economic system, in my view, reduces its promise as an

anti-inflationary measure to only a stop-gap and temporary

force. A program that fits the context of the economy

is needed for lasting influence. - 4 -

I hope I've been able to make my arguments clear.

Because of your extremely limited time, I hesitate to elaborate further as I would like to do. However, I feel most strongly that the present moral-suasion thrust gives a false sense of advance and that it should serve only as a holding action until a long-run strategy is developed. In my view, the long-run solution must involve vitalization of market forces (so prices and wages can go down as well as up) and the acceleration of productivity in a setting where monetary and fiscal policy remain moderately restrictive. In the short-run, the connections between trade, income redistribution (as through minimum wage laws), and the sudden onset of higher resource costs (for energy or for protecting the environment) will have to be offset but through measures consistent with the action of our economic system.

Jimmy, I have many other reactions I would like to convey relating to inflation and other matters. The challenge of economic policy that you face registers so many ignored problems of earlier times that it appears almost overwhelming. As your friend, I hope my candid and serious comments are of some assistance. As you friend, also, you will understand my concern when it '. 5

appears that a policy in which you put major trust

runs significant risk of failure as I think your

anti-inflation approach does.

As you know, Governor Busbee is running for

another term. I am expecting him to win reelection

and am hoping to continue my service to him.

I am regularly amazed by the breadth of matters

to which you are able to respond in decisive fashion.

I'm also proud of the way you decide to handle them.

Best wishes,

Sincerely,

Hank lllla&t£1111 ...... l ......

MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT FROM: JIM FALLOWS f...: SUBJECT: Justice Speech

At Stu's suggestion, I sent a copy of the latest draft of this speech to the At.torney General, with. a request that he show it to no one else. He just phoned with these responses:

Over-all, he thinks it is a good speech.

Page 1: You might add t.Ae fact that the reason Charles Dickens knew so much about the law is that he had been a court reporter.

Page 3: You should say that the IBM trial "is not nearly over"; it 1 s more than half done but sti.ll several years away from completion.

Page 4: Because IBM thinks the Justice Department ha's con­ tributed to trial delay, you should say, in the second line, "expensive talent, on both sides, produces interminable delay."

He says you might use two other illustrations at this point:. first., no computer now being sold was in existence at the time the case began. Second, the longest such trial, one involving telephone patent litigation, took 30 years.

Page 16 : While not recommending any changes in wha.t you say about the merit selection bill, he says you should be aware that the Confer.ees do not support the spirit of the bill.

Page 21: While he feels the knock at the ABA may be necessary, you should cut the word "absolutely" in the end of the first paragr·aph.

Pag.e 22: He recommends against quoting Shirley Hufstedller. She is popldar among women 1 s groups, as one of the few female federal judges, but is generally very unpopular among lawyers and judges.

. '•: '

~:i ' . -2-

Page 27: He says you could discuss an experimental arbitration program going on in the Northern District of California (); the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), and. in . Cases invo 1 ving up to $10 0, 0 0 0 are refer red to lawyers fo.r mandatory but non-binding arbitration (that is, the parties can appeal to the courts if they want). The lawyers are paid $50 per cas.e -- they do it as a public service. Page 28: He recommends you add this bullet: " We support reform in the discovery process. Current rules of discovery lead to undue expense and inordinate delay." Page 29: He recommends removing. the word "harsh" before "account." .·II

WASHINGTON l1ay 2, 1978

MHMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT r. FROM: JH1 FALLOWS J~

SUBJECT: Justice Speech

Here is the latest draft of the speech, with marginalia from Stu and his staff and Jane Frank.

This draft includes all the substantive suggestions you asked Stu to cover. With the possible exception of Stu, all of us who have worked on this speech feel we are makiBg a mistake by including such a laundry-list of proposals. It makes the speech much longer and more tedious than it needs to be, and it blunts whatever theme or focus the speech could have. The reason people remember your speech in 1974 was not because of any twelve-point plan for improving. justice, but because you expressed_. a philosophy, a clear point of view. From your early instructions I thought that you wanted to do the same thing here. If you want to leave· that same impression, you don 1 t need all the details about small. claims courts and a l'iagistrate 1 s Ac·t; you can let othe.rs fill those in. I know you will think this draft is too long wheB you see it; I urg.e that when you begin cutting, you start with the lis·ts of remedies, and not with the themes.

I am·attaching a memo from Achsah that explains the point further.
