Dear Bob:
We had a tremendously successful year in 1993 and want to emphasize not only that succus but that the reasons for out victories were better candidates, better ideas and better involvement of people in our campaigns. We arc preparing for the same degree su~ss of in the 1994 election::.;, which are the elections upon which we are exclusively focused.
I will be comparing Republican ideas and proposals to the wrong-headed policies bcins put forward by President Clinton. I will emphasize the elLt.reniely positive effect this c.omparison had for our party and our candidates last year. Bob.I have enclosed a copy ofa memorandum I am sending to members oftheRNC touching upon the key themes and messages for the meeting. ~ you can see I have tried to leave the subject of your r~marks as broad as possible in order to allow you the opportunity to talk about whatever you think best fits our general theme. As you can see from the attached schedule, we have an outstanding program a.nd group of speakers. · I genuinely appreciate your taking time to be with us. md I know the Committee is excited about hearing from you.

MEMORANDUM TO RNC MEMBERS
FROM: HALEY BARBOUR
SUBJECT: FOCUS ON UPCOMING RNC WINTER MEETING AND THE NEXT THREE WEEKS --···----
We have an exciting three weeks ahead of us that include our Winter Meetin~ President Clinton's State of the Union address, the launching ofGOPMTV and the RcaganrI'hatcher Gala. These momentous events offer us four separate opportunities to deliver our message loud and clear acro11 the nation.
The first opportunity is our Winter RNC meeting this week. It will be heavily covered by the f national r media, and I am anxious they recoif\ize that Republicans not only had a tremendously l. successful year in 1993, but a.re optimistic about and prepared for an equally productive 1994. "Successful" and "optimistic" are. tho two best words to dcscnoc our Partyi and I hope that is obvious in D.C. this week Here are some thoughts on points we would like to put across:
• The reasons for our winning all six of the six biggest elections in the la.st year: we had the best candidates, did the best jcb of involving people in our campaigns and advocated tho best idoas. The dominant issues of '93 were ti1Xes and crime, and both proved to be tO;the RepuNican advantage. Governors Christie Whitman and George Allen will address those two issues when they speak at our luncheon Friday.
• Because we a.re focused on the future, our theme for the meeting will be dEven More in '94.'' Clinton'li proposals helped us in '93, especially hb tax bill. We expect hiti proposals to help us in 1994 as well. He talks a good game on crime and welfare reform, but he doesn't follow through v.~th legislation . Republican proposals on these i..;sucs and health care reform are far superior to Clinton·~. and the public is recognizing that as the debate inten1>ifies. House Minority L.eader Newt Gingrich will speak Friday morning on the issue agenda and how it helped and will continue to help Republicans.
• We increued our support among minorities in 1993. Attached is a brief memo about t11e increased vote we r~.ceived from various groups l~t year, all of which far e4ceeded our 1992 ·

support. On Saturday morning, columnist Tony Brown will moderate a ses~ion on outreach, R.oprc11cnt4tiYc:~ and Henry Bonilla and Susan Molinui will juin RNC members in discus~ing the successes and opportunities
• We have a continuing goal of stating the differences between Clinton's proposals and our alternatives. Two of our national leaders, Senator Bob Dole and Secretary Jack Kemp, will speak Saturday at breakfast and lunch, respectively, on the positive devel('lpments of last ye.ar and their optimism for '94,
• All the speakers will try to keep us focused on 1994. Some members of the media wii.l want to focus on 1996 but I hope we will not allow them to di:i.tract our attention from the critical •94 elections. With our excellent candidate recruiting, the successes of 1993 and the RNC's strong financial positior'i we have many reastms to be optimistic. and focused on '94.
• Some members have asked for talking points on the Whitewater/Madison Savings and Loan matter. Ncitht:r l nor the RNC has iss\.led tt stalement, put out a press relca~e or distiibuted talking points or guidance on this matter. I did not and do not want to abet the White House cla.im that this scandal is the result of partisan politics. It's not, a fact whh which most people agree. NevertheJess, l strongly counsel our people to steer clear of this topic.
• Finally, as you prepare your own phms on how to capitalize on the news· making and me.s8'lge- delivery opportunities that lie ahead in the next three weeks. our Radio Actuality ScIVice staff will be making an aggressive effort to record your "sound-bite>' reactions to these events for later use by news stations in your home state. In addition to the memo you've ilready re<:eived urging yo-u to set up your own news event on tho Monday or Tuesday prior to the State of the Uruon address, you will also recelve at the meeting a comprehensive news package. Jt includes talking points and a video for your news back home. 1.,astly. we will be providing you detailed infonnation about GOP-rv•s premiere on January 27th and the Reagan-Thatcher Gala, which GOP-TV will broadcast nation\\~de February 3rd.
The next three weeks are bound to be as exciting as they \vill be demanding. I look forward to working with you during our 1994 Winter Meeting to meet the challenge of seizing the opportunities that await us, both in the next three weeks and the months that follow.

NEXT TUESDAY THE PRESIDENT WILL BE DELIVERING HIS STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS, AND l'VE BEEN 2 Page 18 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu ASKED TO GIVE THE REPUBLICAN RESPONSE. I UNDERSTAND THAT ALL THE SOLUTION TO AMERICA'S PROBLEMS DON'T COME FROM WASHINGTON, D.C., SO THE LAST FEW WEEKS, l'VE BEEN CALLING REPUBLICANS AROUND THE COUNTRY, ASKING THEM 3 Page 19 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu FOR THEIR THOUGHTS AND SUGGESTIONS. AND IN THE PROCESS, IT BECAME EVEN MORE CLEAR TO ME THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE PARTY OF IDEAS ... AND THE PARTY OF THE FUTURE. GOVERNOR WELD OF MASSACHUSETTS SENT ME THE 4 Page 20 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu DETAILS OF HIS WELFARE REFORM PROPOSAL HE ANNOUNCED LAST WEEK.

THE)' WORKED FOR FIVE MONTHS AND CAME UP WITH SOME OUTSTANDING IDEAS. AND NOT ONE OF THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS INVOLVED TURNING HEALTH CARE OVER TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. 7 Page 23 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu GOVERNOR MERRILL OF NEW HAMPSHIRE TOLD ME THAT HE LIKES TO PRACTICE 11 PERFORMANCE BASED POLITICS11 --MAKING FEW PROMISES BUT KEEPING THE ONES YOU MADE.

THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF IDEAS THAT REPUBLICANS ARE ADVANCING ACROSS AMERICA, AND THAT'S WHY REPUBLICANS HAD SUCH A SUCCESSFUL 199,3. 12 Page 28 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu WE HAD GOOD CANDIDATES WHO WERE TALKING ABOUT THE ISSUES AMERICANS CARE ABOUT MOST. AND THAT'S THE SAME FORMULA aFOR SUCCESS IN 1994. WE CAN'T JUST SIT BACK AND SIMPLY OPPOSE EVERY ONE OF PRESIDENT CLINTON'S 13 Page 29 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu PROGRAMS--ALTHOUGH PLENTY OF THEM DO DESERVE A LOT OF - m OPPOSING. IF WE WANT TO BE THE MAJORITY PARTY, THEN WE MUST GIVE AMERICANS A BETTER REASON TO SUPPORT US THAN THE FACT THAT WE'RE NOT SOMEBODY ELSE. THEY HAVE TO SUPPORT US 14 Page 30 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu BECAUSE THEY AGREE WITH THE DIRECTION WE WANT TO TAKE AMERICA, AND BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IN OUR PRINCIPLES, AND OUR PHILOSOPHY OF GOVERNMENT. AND I THINK OVER THE PAST YEAR, IT HAS BECOMING INCREASINGLY CLEAR TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT 15 Page 31 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu PRESIDENT CLINTON'S PHILOSOPHY AND OUR PHILOSOPHY ARE VERY, VERY, DIFFERENT. PRESIDENT CLINTON'S POLLSTERS GOT TOGETHER WITH A FEW FOCUS GROUPS, AND FIGURED OUT THAT PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE ECONOMY, CONCERNED ABOUT 16 Page 32 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu THEIR JOBS, CONCERNED ABOUT HEALTH CARE, AND THEY WANT 11 SECURITY. 11 SO EVERYWHERE HE GOES, PRESIDENT CLINTON TALKS ABOUT HOW HE WANTS TO ,, MAKE AMERICANS MORE ,, SECURE. BUT WHAT THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T SAY IS THAT IN ORDER 17 Page 33 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu TO GET A LITTLE MORE OF 1 WHAT THEY CALL 5ECURITY,'' AMERICANS WILL ALSO GET MORE TAXES, MORE SPENDING, • bo MORE GOVERNMENT CONTROL, MORE- MANDATES, AND MORE REGULATIONS.- AND WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU IS THAT YOU WILL ALSO GET A LOT LESS OF 18 Page 34 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu SOMETHING ELSE--AND THAT'S FREEDOM. AND IT STRIKES ME THAT IF THE PEOPLE OF EASTERN EUROPE HAD ANYTHING 0 IN THE H - ,, OLD DAYS, THEY HAD SECURITY. GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED NEARLY EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIFE, AND GOVERNMENT MADE ALL THE DECISIONS FOR 19 Page 35 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu THEM--IT TOLD THEM WERE THEIR CHILDREN SHOULD GO TO SCHOOL... IT TOLD THEM WHAT TYPE OF HEALTH CARE THEY COULD RECEIVE ... IT TOLD THEM HOW MUCH OF THEIR SALARY THEY COULD KEEP. BUT PEOPLE WANT MORE THAN SECURITY. THEY WANT FREEDOM. THEY WANT 20 Page 36 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu OPPORTUNITY. THEY WANT CONTROL OVER THEIR LIVES. THEY WANT THE CHANCE TO SUCCEED OR FAIL ON THEIR OWN--WITHOUT GOVERNMENT TELLING THEM WHAT TO DO. AND THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. 21 Page 37 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu YES, AMERICA HAS PROBLEMS. BUT WE BELIEVE THE SOLUTIONS TO THOSE PROBLEMS WILL COME FROM THE PEOPLE AND NOT THE GOVERNMENT. PERHAPS l'M BEING NOSTALGIC, BUT l'M SURE THERE ARE OTHERS WHO REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN 22 Page 38 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu PEOPLE KNEW THEIR NEIGHBORS. AND WE ALSO KNEW THAT OUR NEIGHBORS WERE WATCHING OUT FOR US, AND IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY, THEY WOULD BE THERE TO HELP. AND THAT'S HOW l'VE ALWAYS SEEN THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT--NOT AS A 23 Page 39 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu PERMANENT PRESENCE IN OUR HOUSE, BUT AS A NEIGHBOR. THERE TO HELP IF WE NEED HELP--BUT ALSO LETTING US LEAD OUR OWN LIVES, AND KEEPING ITS HAND OUT OF OUR POCKETS, AND ITS NOSE OUT OF PLACES WHERE IT DOESN'T BELONG. 24 Page 40 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu AND ONE THING THAT DOESN'T BELONG WITH THE GOVERNMENT IS COMPLETE AND TOTAL CONTROL OVER OUR HEALTH CARE. NO ONE DENIES THERE ARE PARTS OF THE SYSTEM THAT NEED TO BE FIXED--AND THAT CAN BE FIXED FAIRLY QUICKLY. BUT WE CAN FIX THOSE PARTS 25 Page 41 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu WITHOUT DESTROYING THE WHAT IS THE BEST HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD, AND WITHOUT PUTTING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN CHARGE OF ONE-SEVENTH OF OUR NATIONAL ECONOMY. CRIME · IF THERE'S ONE AREA WHERE AMERICA'S 26 Page 42 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu NEIGHBORHOODS NEED HELP, IT'S IN COMBATTING THE EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE.- . FOR TOO LONG, WE'VE LISTENED TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE THAT CRIMINALS ARE THE VICTIM OF SOCIETY. THE TRUTH IS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. SOCIETY IS THE VICTIM OF CRIMINALS . . 27 Page 43 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu AND IT'S TIME FOR SOCIETY TO FIGHT BACK. HOW DO WE DO THAT? WELL, THE FIRST STEP IS SIMPLE. WE TAKE THE CRIMINALS OFF THE STREETS, AND WE LOCK THEM UP. AND THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE SENATE PASSED A BILL LAST NOVEMBER, WHICH 28 Page 44 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu CONTAINS MANY REPUBLICAN PROPOSALS, AND WHICH DOES JUST THAT. IT REQUIRES LIFE IMPRISONMENT FOR ANYONE CONVICTED OF THREE VIOLENT FELONIES. IT REQUIRES MANDATORY SENTENCES FOR THOSE WHO USE A GUN IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME. IT 29 Page 45 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu TREATS VIOLENT JUVENILES AS ADULTS. BUT AS WE HAVE SEEN FAR TOO OFTEN, JUST PUTTING CRIMINALS BEHIND BARS IS NOT- ENOUGH. THERE'S A SECOND STEP. AND THAT'S PADLOCKING THE REVOLVING DOOR, AND KEEPING VIOLENT CRIMINALS IN 30 Page 46 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu JAIL FOR THEIR ENTIRE SENTENCE. A TWENTY YEAR SENTENCE SHOULD MEAN JUST THAT 20 YEARS--OR DARN CLOSE TO IT. NOT FIVE OR TEN OR EVEN FIFTEEN. SO THE BILL ALSO CONTAINS A VITAL REFORM THAT I CALL 11TR UTH IN .. SENTENCING. 11 31 Page 47 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu I HAVE ASKED THE PRESIDENT ON MANY OCCASIONS THESE PAST FEW MONTHS TO ENDORSE THIS BILL, AND TO HELP PASS IT WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY--AND WITHOUT WATERING DOWN ITS TOUGH PROVISIONS, AS THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES HAS DONE MANY TIMES BEFORE. 32 Page 48 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu SO FAR, I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A RESPONSE, SO I EXPECT I'll KEEP ON ASKING AGAIN AND AGAIN. I WANT TO CONCLUDE THIS MORNING BY BRIEFLY TALKING ABOUT AMERICA'S ROLE IN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, WE ARE THE ONLY 33 Page 49 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu SUPERPOWER IN THE THIS, OR ANY OTHER, NEIGHBORHOOD. WHILE NOBODY WANTS US TO BE THE WORLD'S POLICEMAN, WE CAN'T JUST TURN OFF THE PORCH LIGHT, LOCK OUR DOOR, CROSS OUR FINGERS, AND HOPE EVERYONE BEHAVES. PRESIDENT CLINTON MAY TALK A LOT ABOUT 11 SECURITY11 34 Page 50 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu BUT HE HAS SLASHED OUR NATIONAL SECURITY BUDGET. REPUBLICANS TAKE AMERICA'S NATIONAL SECURITY SERIOUSLY. NORTH KOREA, IRAN, BOSNIA, IRAQ -- YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK TO FAR TO SEE THAT THE WORLD IS STILL A DANGEROUS PLACE. WE REMEMBER THE LESSONS 35 Page 51 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu AMERICA LEARNED WHEN WE CUT OUR DEFENSES TOO FAR, TOO FAST.

IT WILL FORCE 39 Page 55 of 58 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu THE ADMINISTRATION TO TALK TO CONGRESS BEFORE VOTING FOR NEW PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS. IT WILL END RAIDING OF THE DEFENSE BUDGET FOR U.N.
