In th• praentations Mt have made to thfl House and s.tlate leadcrwhtp, we have 1tmttd the followtn1 paints, some of which may be appropriate tor use in your remarks: • We have tried to be realiltic: tn the dollar amount we have said we would Ukt ta raJso and dlatrlJ,utc. quoting ftsure• in the SI o,ooo to s 1~.ooo ranp (l would like to raise and distribute mort, but I think we need to keep expectationa lmt). • We hav• comiltelltly tmphmized the fllct that mla operation i11n extension of what l ' your 1916111.d 1992 campalan• undertook on behalf of l\epubllcan candldatea. In 1986, we started thia t)'JJe of assistance throuah the low• Committee. In 19986, we asked donon who had aiven to the FEC limit to C!G to donat• to the Oovemor's campalsn or co the Iowa CommittH, which help.cl a IJ'OUP of "second tier" cand.idatQ Uk• Mar)' Lundby, Ron Corbett, JuUa Oontlcman. md Jack Beaman. As . , you may nrnambcr, we held a Communications workshop tor th.st candldatt•, •' \ ~ where members of the Grustey staff' (John M., Tom !., Penny B. and Bab H.) 11ve advtc. on how to organize a di1triet, how to raise money, and whore to mott cott effectively place advertiaemcms. In addition. the main attraction w11 Jackie Mason, a communications apeeialist &om Florida, who gave advice on how t0 conduct pres• Interviews, nQOrd, radio tpota, and giv• etrtetive 1peech preacntatlona.

In addition, the Committee helped Conareumen Nuttle and Llahtfoot with in-kind donatfon1 to defer c:osta ot tbe OraNley '92 tndcing eftbrt, which polled thouandt of Iaw1ns during the last six woek1 oftbt cycle. Finally, in 1992, mombtrt of th• cunpai&n 1taff donattd tha:ir time to help the St.ate Party undertake po11ina of r:wer 2' c:ontested di1aicU1. 1 have a eompleto listing of tht 1992 &cdYltfea, if you would like that document. • In addition to these aetivitiea1 the Senator has done hundredt of radio uid print ads for vlriou3 eandtd1'tot throu&}t the year,. I have taid, and t think this it tnJe, that there bu not been a candidate or elected offici•I that hu dont as much u he hu fur the party and Its candidates. He haa been time every e1$CdOn cycle, and The Pricnd! of Chuck Grusley ia merely an extension of' what he has been doina in prior years. • Thi1 effort wltl not d(ltTIWt frorn the Governor's r&ct. Remember, in 1990. Taukc and the Governor railed approximately $7 million out of Iow11 .

The Grassley campaigns have alway!! been known for their efficiency. and this csffcrt will be no different These are the basi<: points we have bttn rnaklng. The initial reception to the idea hu lMen very positive, althouah of c:ourac I got tho inunecUate question ~bQut CBO' 11 plans in 1998 ro the govemorshlp. I merely responded that this wu an tXtfJnalon of previous dforts and a w.-y to fill a pere4ived void In •. ualstins leaialative candidates. As you know, .Rtl'ublican1 control the Iowa Ho\lse by a slim S1-49 margin. In the Senate, :Republicans are in the minority by a 27-23 mqfn. By far the most contentious races wlU be in the House. There !1 a very good chance that we can get to .54 or more Inthe Hou,e. My estimate is that the Senate will stay Democrat. and that it wnt be a great year If we get to 24, and chances are that we could actually dip to 22. With so much attention being ~.ed on the Governor's race, we nMd to help th~se candidates all we ~an . Pleasi: feel free to c:all if you have any questions. '. ,, . ' .. .. ·.~ . " ... -. 1t ,.,.
