TO~ senator Dole FR: Kerry Re: Oregon Background

PARTY BACKGROUND: The state party is currently controlled by the more 11 mainstream11 wing. Party control has gone back and forth over the past years between the mainstream and the ultra right wing. The "" is the conservative organization that has gaini?.d powi:?.r at. t.hP. 1oc.o31 1AvP-l~- Whi1e OCA e.ndorse.mr?.t'lt. is often key to success in winning the primary, it can also be the kiss of death in the general election ,

The State Rouse of Representatives is currently controlled Qy the Republicans 32-28. The Senate is controlled by the Democrats 16-14, It is commonly believed th;;it the Republicans will gain control of the Senate in November, (for the first time in 40 years) and will keep control of the House.

The Republican leader of the State Senate is Gordon Smith. He is a 42 year old millionaire CEO of one of America's largest frozen food companies. smith is a likely senate candidate if Hatfield does not run. He will be the emcee at the event in Portlanct. GOVERNOR'S RACE: The Democrat nominee is , former President of the Ore~on State Senate, and author of the Oregon health plan. There will also be two independent candidates on the ballot. Conventional wisdom is that Denny is probably about 10-15 points behind right now. All the wounds have not been healed from a bitter primary race with Craig Berkman, and some moderate Republ.icans believe that Denny is too conservative, and too much of a loose cannon. While the race is winnabl~, D~nny :is c1?.rt.si i n1 y th~ underdog. The race has not received much news during the summer, as the primaries arQ in May. Labor Day is the traditional time when the voters and the media start paying more attention to the race, so you arc Qrriving ot the right time.

Denny's top issues are cutting the budget, building more prisons, and saying it's time for a new direction after eight years of liberal Democ~at governors.

CONGRESSIO~AL SEATS: There are three competitive races out ot the five seats, Democrat incumbents Peter DeFazio and both represent strong Democrat discricts and nave very weak opponents .

The lst District includes the Portland suburbs , and should be a Republican seat. It is represented t>y one term Democrat . (She defeated ·1·ony Meeker) Her opponent is businessman Bill Witt. He is an attractive candidate, but is perceived as being very closely tied to the OCA. He will be attending the Smith luncheon, and hopes to get a picture with you. The 5th District is the Willamette Valley. It is an open race between Democrat State Senator Catherine Weber, and Republican State Senator . This is probably a toss-up, al though Bunn's ties the OCA1 which brought about his primary victory, are hurting him in the general. He will also be atr.i;;mcii ng t.he Smith luncheon, and hopes to get a pictun~ _ The 2nd District is all of Eastern and Southern Oregon. It is a very rural and very agricultural district that shoi.ild be a Republican seat. Sob Smith is retiring after 6 tcnno. The Democrat nominee is a Medford-based County Commi~oioncr named Due Kypillus. The Republican nominee is , a one-term State Senator, He c;qucakcd through a G candidate primal..Jf with about 22i of the vote. Private polls show Cooley with a veL·y SULQ.11 lead, but with most voters u11decidecl. Conve11L.loual wisdom is that Cooley might win 11 il-1 spite of hin.\sel.C. 0 H~ is a loose cannon who Otten speak.s beto.i:.·e he Lhlrlk::;.

EVENTS:

Upon arrival in Medford, you will be met by Congressman Bob Smith (he was DFP in 88) who will drive you to a private home, for a small $1,000 a head cocktail reception for Denny. Attendees are the 11 .big wigs" of the timber and agricultural industries. Mix and mingle for half an hour, and then proceed to hotel.

The Cooley breakfast is a $50 a head ~vent, and th~y are expecting around 200-250 . Denny anc't c:ongr-essman Bob Smith will also be in attendance.

The $mi th !?vent in Portland begins with a $1, 000 VIP reception billed as a ''private discussion on heal th care." About 20 25 business and party leaders are expected. 700 tickGtS at $125 have already been sold for the lunch, and the final figure could reach BOO. Have a good weekend, and I' 11 see you in MedLoL.. u uu Tuesday night.

District: Oregon's Second The 0

This is Oregon's most conservative congressional district. Voters here supported the Bush/Quayle ticket in 1992, approved an anti-gay rights measure and put over Les AuCoin. They have sent a Republican to Congress since 1981 when Denny Smith beat .

After reapportionment, Oregon gained a seat and the Second District became even more conservative. It now has more Republican voters than Democrat voters. Since 1982, Congressman Bob Smith has won the district with big margins.

Every state Senate Seat and 10 of the 12 State House seats in this district are held by Republicans.

It is made up of small, rural t owns~ the largest city, Medford, has less than 50,000 people. Agriculture, timber and tourism aie the major employers. The district is larger than any state east of the Mississippi River.

People here are proud of the work Congressman Bob Smith has done on natural resource issues and the balanced budget amendment. His support of Senator Cooley is a huge advantage.

TO: Senator Dole

FROM: Janet Sena

SUBJECT: Oregon Issues Update

ENVIRONMENT SALMON - Four species of Salmon have been recently identified as endangered. No disagreement that the fish are in trouble, but severe disagreement over what to do to save remaining fish (develop wild fishruns or artificial hatcheries). Biologists don't agree on best option and arguments over the impact of logging, mining grazing, dams etc. are impeding the decision- making process. Hatfield wants a regionally developed plan that is scientifically defensible that will recover wild fish. Salmon recovery plan being held up by administration because administration disagrees with recovery options identified.

TIMBER ISSUES, OPTION 9 - Oregon under the 3rd year of Dwyer injunction which barred timber harvesting on federal forests from 1990. This restriction severely impacts timber sales and economy. The Clinton forest conference in 1993 sought to prepare proposal (Option Nine) to address concerns. Until 1985, the average timber sale level was 4.5 billion bd ft. for the region. However, Option Nine proposes an aggregate timber sale level for Oregon, Washington and northern California of less than 1 billion board feet (a reduction in production levels by 80%). There are 19 national forests in Oregon and Washington. One national forest Willamette produced 780 billion board feet of timber feet annually.

The administration is ignoring the impact of Option nine on the local economy and on consumers in the long run. Because of dwyer injunction and option nine, 33,000 jobs have been lost in forest products and more than $2 billion in lost income. Harvesting on federal lands has decreased by 50%. The high price of timber (it has doubled this year) is causing prices of homes to increase, so home sales are being impacted nationwide.

TRANSPORTATION Upcoming bond issuance (close to $475,000,000) on the Nov. 8th ballot to fund a light rail project that would go through Portland called the South North Railroad. Not real controversial, but is an issue that will need federal support.

SENATOR BOB DOLE TALKING POINTS DENNY SMITH EVENT

*THE FIRST THING I WANT TO DO THIS MORNING IS TO THANK OREGON FOR SENDING TWO OUTSTANDING REPUBLICANS TO THE SENATE.

* CONTINUES TO DO AN OUTSTANDING JOB AS RANKING REPUBLICAN ON THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE. AND HE IS A STRONG VOICE FOR OREGON'S FARMERS AND TIMBER WORKERS.

Page 32 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

*AND ANYONE WHO HAS FOLLOWED THE HEALTH CARE DEBATE, KNOWS THAT ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE VOICES ON THAT COMPLEX ISSUE IS SENATOR BOB PACKWOOD'S.

*AS RANKING REPUBLICAN ON THE SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE, BOB PACKWOOD HAS BEEN THE REPUBLICAN FLOOR LEADER IN OUR FIGHT TO SAVE THE BEST HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD.

*BEFORE WE WENT INTO RECESS, BOB PRESIDED OVER TWICE DAILY STRATEGY SESSIONS, AND HIS OPENING SPEECH ON HEALTH CARE ON THE

Page 33 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

*IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE HERE AND TO LEND MY SUPPORT TO DENNY SMITH'S CAMPAIGN.

*I'VE KNOWN DENNY FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AND I'VE DISCOVERED THAT WE SHARE A LOT IN COMMON.

*WE BOTH WERE RAISED IN SMALL, RURAL TOWNS.

*WE BOTH SERVED OUR COUNTRY IN THE MILITARY.

*WE BOTH MARRIED WOMEN WITH SOUTHERN ACCENTS.

*WE BOTH BELIEVE IN THE REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES OF LESS

Page 34 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

SENATE FLOOR, WAS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DEBATE.

*BOB'S CONTINUED LEADERSHIP WILL BE KEY IN THE LAST WEEKS OF SESSION.

*BOB, MARK, AND I ALL BELIEVE THAT THERE IS STILL IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM MORE AFFORDABLE AND MORE ACCESSIBLE--WITHOUT TURNING ONE-SEVENTH OF OUR ECONOMY OVER TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT--AND WITHOUT MANDATES THAT WOULD DESTROY SMALL BUSINESSES ACROSS AMERICA.

Page 35 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

THE RIGHTS OF LAW ABIDING CITIZENS THAN DENNY SMITH.

*LONG BEFORE ALL THE PUBLIC ITY FOR "THREE STRIKES AND YOU'RE OUT" DENNY SMITH WAS SUCCESSFULLY SPONSORING A BALLOT MEASURE TO ENSURE THAT TWO-TIME VIOLENT FELONS SERVED EVERYDAY OF THEIR SENTENCE--NO PROBATION, NO PAROLE, NO KIDDING.

*THAT' AN IDEA CALLED "TRUTH IN SENTENCING," AND IT'S AN IDEA THAT WAS IN THE CRIME BILLS, BEFORE THE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT CONFERENCE COMMITTEE TOOK IT OUT--ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER TOUGH PROVISIONS.

Page 36 of 48 ----- ~ This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

TAXES, LESS SPENDING, AND FEWER MANDATES.

*AND WE BOTH KNOW THAT THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH VIOLENT CRIMINALS IS TO PUT THEM BEHIND BARS, RATHER THAN ENROLLING THEM IN ANOTHER GOVERNMENT PROGRAM.

*OREGONIANS--LIKE KANSANS- -KNOW THAT CRIME ISN'T JUST A PROBLEM FOR BIG URBAN AREAS, ANY MORE--IT'S A PROBLEM FOR RURAL AREAS, AND SMALL TOWNS AND COMMUNITIES, AS WELL.

*AND FEW PEOPLE HAVE MORE CONSISTENTLY STOOD UP FOR

Page 37 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

HAVE REPUBLICAN MAYORS IN AMERICA'S TWO LARGEST CITIES.

*WE WON THESE ELECTIONS NOT BECAUSE OF ANYTHING THAT PRESIDENT CLINTON DID-- ALTHOUGH HE CERTAINLY HELPED.

*WE WON THEM BECAUSE WE HAD GOOD CANDIDATES, WITH GOOD ORGANIZATIONS, AND GOOD IDEAS.

*AND THAT'S WHY NOVEMBER 8 IS GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN OREGON AND ACROSS AMERICA.

*THERE'S A NUMBER THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO

Page 38 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

*THE HOUSE REPUBLICANS SUCCEEDED IN PUTTING SOME TOUGH PROVISIONS BACK IN, AND WE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE DONE THE SAME IN THE SENATE.

*WE LOST THAT FIGHT, BUT I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW THAT IT WAS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT WAS FIGHTING FOR A CRIME BILL THAT TRULY FOUGHT CRIME-- AND NOT ONE THAT WAS 100% PURE PORK.

*THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF HAS BEEN A VERY EXCITING TIMRE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. WE'VE WON TWO SENATE SEATS. WE WON TWO GOVERNOR'S RACES. WE NOW

Page 39 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

*A GAIN OF 40 SEATS IN THE HOUSE WILL MAKE SPEAKER. AND A GAIN OF 7 SEATS IN THE SENATE WILL MAKE BOB DOLE MAJORITY LEADER, MARK HATIFELD CHAIRMAN OF THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE, AND BOB PACKWOOD CHAIRMAN OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.

*THERE'S NO SENATE RACE IN OREGON THIS YEAR, BUT THERE ARE SOME HOUSE RACES THAT WILL HELP REDUCE THAT NUMBER... VICTORIES BY JIM BUNN AND BILL WITT WILL REDUCE IT TO 45 .... AND I WAS JUST IN MEDFORD THIS MORNING TO SUPPORT WES COOLEY, AND I AM CONFIDENT HE WILL KEEP

Page 40 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

REPUBLICANS. AND THAT NUMBER IS 47.

*47 ISN'T THE NUMBER OF POLICIES THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION HAS ANNOUNCED ON HAITI.

*IT'S NOT THE NUMBER OF BUREAUCRATS THEY WANT TO PLACE BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DOCTOR.

*IT'S NOT HOW MANY CLINTON APPOINTEES HAVE RETURNED TO ARKANSAS.

*IT'S HOW MANY SEATS WE NEED TO GAIN REPUBLICAN CONTROL OF THE U.S. HOUSE AND THE U.S. SENATE.

Page 41 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

THE DEMOCRAT CONGRESS BELIEVE THAT FEDERAL BUREAUCRATS KNOW BEST-- THAT DECISIONS AFFECTING TIMBER, MINING, AND AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS SHOULD ALL BE MADE IN WASHINGTON, D.C.--AND NOT AT THE LOCAL LEVELS.

*THE REPUBLICAN PHILOSOPHY IS DIFFERENT. WE BELIEVE IN THE FIRST THREE WORDS OF THE CONSTITUTION-- "WE THE PEOPLE."

*WE BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE KNOW BEST, AND THAT DECISIONS SHOULD BE MADE AT THE LOCAL LEVELS.

Page 42 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

THE SECOND DISTRICT IN REPUBLICAN HANDS.

*NEWT AND I DON'T WANT REPUBLICAN MAJORITIES JUST SO WE CAN HAVE NICER OFFICES OR BIGGER STAFFS ...

*WE WANT THEM SO WE CAN SET THE AGENDA.

*FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, YOU'VE SEEN THE DEMOCRAT AGENDA--THE BIGGEST TAX INCREASE IN U.S. HISTORY, AND GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

*THEIR AGENDA HAS ALSO INCLUDED A WAR ON THE WEST-- THE INTERIOR DEPARTMENT AND

Page 43 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

SYSTEM IN THE WORLD, A CRIME BILL THAT TRULY MADE A DIFFERENCE, AND PROTECTION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.

*I KNOW THAT 4 7 IS ALSO A VERY IMPORTANT NUMBER HERE IN OREGON. 31 REPUBLICANS IN THE OREGON HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND 16 REPUBLICANS IN THE STATE SENATE, WILL MAKE BEV CLARNO SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, AND GORDON SMITH PRESIDENT OF THE STATE SENATE.

*IT'S BEEN 40 YEARS SINCE REPUBLICANS HAVE CONTROLLED BOTH HOUSES IN OREGON--JUST LIKE IT'S BEEN 40 YEARS SINCE REPUBLICANS HAVE

Page 44 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

*WE BELIEVE THAT GOVERNMENTTAXESAND SPENDS TOO MUCH, AND THAT SMALL BUSINESSMEN AND WOMEN SHOULD OPERATE WITHOUT GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE.

*AND OUR AGENDA WOULD BE VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE DEMOCRAT AGENDA.

*OUR AGENDA WOULD INCLUDE A BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT, A LINE ITEM VETO, AND A CUT IN THE CAPITAL GAINS TAX RATE.

*OUR AGENDA WOULD INCLUDE HEALTH CARE REFORM THAT PRESERVES THE BEST

Page 45 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

*AND I CAN REMEMBER BACK TO 1980, WHEN PEOPLE TOLD DENNY THAT AL ULLMAN COULDN'T BE DEFEATED.

*AND I REMEMBER WHEN DENNY WAS IN CONGRESS, WHEN PEOPLE TOLD HIM THAT ONE CONGRESSMAN COULDN'T TAKE ON THE ENTIRE PENTAGON AND FORCE THEM TO CANCEL A WASTEFUL AND UNSAFE WEAPONS SYSTEM.

*YOU ALL KNOW THAT DENNY WON THAT BATTLE, SAVINGS BILLIONS OF TAX DOLLARS IN THE PROCESS.

Page 46 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

CONTROLLED THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

*AND AS I TRAVEL ACROSS AMERICA, I'M ASKING VOTERS TO TRY REPUBLICAN MAJORITIES FOR JUST TWO YEARS--IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT WE DO, THEN THROW US OUT FOR ANOTHER 40-- BUT I AM CONFIDENT THAT YOU WILL LIKE WHAT WE STAND FOR AND FIGHT FOR.

*AND I AM CONFIDENT THAT OREGONIANS WILL ALSO LIKE WHAT DENNY SMITH STANDS FOR AND FIGHTS FOR.

*YOU'VE ALL SEEN THE RECENTPOLLSTHATSAYTHAT DENNY IS BEHIND.

Page 47 of 48 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu

*IT'S NOW MY PLEASURE TO PRESENT TO YOU, YOUR NEXT GOVERNOR, DENNY SMITH.
