In contrtit, Sa114b bas raised overHALFOF HIS FUNDS FROMPACS, almost an of which are out of ate. Only ONE THIRD of Sanm' contributions come from individuals and less than haH from in the district.

Therefore, when environmentalists say protect coastal areas, they are talking about a major portion of this state. When this much of the state is wetlands, Sen. Faircloth has indicated that there must be something wrong with the government policy when the definition is that broad. SAFE DRINKING ACT - The state is generally supportive of this bill because it will reduce the burden on small businesses. One town in North Carolina was facing a $100,000 cost to test their water. Rising costs associated with environmental issues are a major concern of small businesses. Page 37 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu September 9, 1994 TO: Senator Dole FROM: Mike Torrey SUBJECT: North Carolina trip FUNDERBURK ... ! understand the district he is running for is the second largest tobacco district in the country and Johnson county is one of the largest tobacco growing counties in the nation. I am also told the Johnson county event will have several Jessecrats (conservative Democrats) in attendance. TOBACCO ... They are concerned about the Administrations attack on tobacco. They are especially upset over the Clinton/Joycelen Elders team which continues to attack tobacco. Tobacco is North Carolina's number 1 crop -- over $1 billion is sales last year. Nationally, tobacco produced a net positive contribution of $4 billion to the trade balance last year and created 2 million jobs nationwide. It also generated $12 billion in taxes. Below are a few talking points Senator Helms uses on tobacco. -- A 75 cents tobacco tax would cost N.C. more than 31,000 jobs and more than 273,000 jobs nationwide. (The Chafee proposal has a 45 cent tobacco tax) -- Smokers should not be forced to be societies debt-payers. A tobacco tax unfairly asks a single segment of our nation's economy to bare the full burden of financing health care reform. -- If we create new tobacco taxes, we will be repeating the mistake made with the luxury tax. The luxury tax significantly hurt the industry. Congress repealed the tax in 1992. RICHARD BURR ... I am told his opponent, Sandy Sands, pushed legislation which would tax fruit coming in from Florida and California since the people of those states were attacking tobacco. Although the legislation was never signed by the Governor, it did get alot of play in the media. However, the fact remains that it is Clinton and Elders who are anti tobacco. This district also has wheat and soybeans. Wheat prices are pretty good now (above $3.00) while beans are struggling due to a an expected good crop. Meanwhile, Private Property may come up. PRIVATE PROPERTY ... The Republican party is for private property rights. An amendment to require "takings impact assessments" was attached to the Safe Drinking Water Act as part of a Republican iniative. SUE MYRICK ... Mostly an urban district. No ag should come up.

Coordinated Limit: $440, 000 per race FRIST UPDATE 1. The primary race, consisting of the "six pack" of candidates from across the state, truly evolved into the two-man race most predicted from the outset of the primary campaign; a toe-to-toe, 12-round heavyweight fight between Nashville Heart/Lung transplant surgeon Bill Frist and Chattanooga businessman Bob Corker. In the final weeks of the campaign, the tone became harsh after Corker ran an attack ad using footage of Vietnam war protesters -- insinuating falsely that Frist avoided service and objected to the Vietnam war -- prompting a comment by Frist's campaign manager Tom Perdue to call Corker "pond scum" for running the misleading ad. When it was all over on August 4, Frist won a decisive victory over Corker and the other five candidates, winning 44 % to Corker's 32 %, with the remaining 24 % of vote split among the others. Frist polled convincingly across the state, even in Corker's home base of East Tennessee -- a Republican strong hold. 2. Corker honed in on what was perceived to be Frist's greatest vulnerability: he had not registered to vote until 1987. Frist never shied away from questions on this issue, explaining that his career was a priority until he began raising his family and recognizing the impact that the federal government had on his children's future and their quality of life. The issue never took hold with the electorate. 3. The voter turnout in this GOP primary was the greatest in Tennessee history for a non-Presidential race. Over 461, 000 voted in the GOP Senate primary, more than any other primary race and greater than the number of Democrats who voted in the highly contested Democrat gubernatorial primary. It is also significant to note that Page 64 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu Senator Sasser, who appeared on the primary ballot, only received 308,000 votes, 153,000 votes less than the GOP Senate primary race. 4. Sasser knows of his vulnerabilities. Even before the primary was over, he went on T. V. with ads touting his votes for school prayer ( ! ) and his strong belief in the traditional family values he shares with his fellow Tennesseans. In addition, Sasser's ads talk of his efforts to crack down on crime and deport illegal aliens. In short, he's trying to re-invent himself into a conservative Republican. (For your information, this is a pattern across the country with incumbent Democrat senators' ads, although Sasser's are the most audacious.) Further, Sasser has touted his potential role as majority leader in the Senate, all the while evoking the name of Howard Baker and the prestige his position brought to Tennessee.

The good news is that Cooper remains stagnant in the polls while Thompson fully recovered from an earlier perception problem of lethargy and confusion and moves steadily up in both name I.D. and ballot competitiveness. A full analysis can be found in Jeff Willis' poll supplement to this brief. 2. Most significant is the fact that Cooper has been on T. V. with a major ad buy over the last two weeks; Thompson just went on the air Monday, August 29 . Even without paid advertising, Cooper has remained in both the Tennessee and national media headlines with his continued effort to push a more moderate, "main- stream" approach to health care reform. The issue has not proven to be a boon to Cooper's election efforts as people are confused by the terminology or, more likely, voters just don't trust any reform mandated by the government. 3. Cooper maintains a large lead in fundraising, reporting $1.9 million in cash-on- hand at the close of the second quarter, to Thompson's $496,629. However, Thompson's fundraising has picked up dramatically in August, while his cost of fundraising remains one of the lowest of all of our campaigns. 4. It is important to note that the Democrats immediately seized on the fact that Thompson received 63% to his primary opponent John Baker's 37%. However, Baker shares the last name of the well known Baker political dynasty, as well as former longtime 3rd district Congressman Lamar Baker. This issue has faded, but the Democrats have continued to attempt to capitalize on this mediocre primary result.

Page 66 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu JIM SASSER SHORT BIO Jim Sasser was first elected to the Senate in 1976 as a political novice. Prior to his successful run for the Senate, he was state party chairman. He beat incumbent Republican senator Bill Brock in an upset and was re-elected in 1982 by defeating Congressman Robin Beard (62%-38%), and in 1988 by beating businessman Bill Andersen (65%-35%). Although Sasser's election results have been strong, it is important to note that he has drawn relatively weak opposition in his two re-election bids. He won against Robin Beard because Beard, a sitting congressman, ran a controversial ad depicting Fidel Castro "thanking" Sasser for helping Cuba with foreign aid. Beard was leading Sasser at the time the ad went on the air, only to have the resulting controversy destroy his lead and allow Sasser to go on to a strong victory. In 1988, Sasser outspent his GOP opponent by over 5: 1. FRED THOMPSON SHORT BIO At 51, Fred Thompson has had a very diverse and successful career. As a lawyer, he has served as an Assistant United States Attorney; Minority Counsel to the Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities (Watergate); Special Counsel to Governor Lamar Alexander; Special Counsel to both the Senate Foreign Relations and Intelligence Committees; and has a private practice in both Nashville and Washington, D.C. Thompson is best known for his acting in over 15 major motion pictures (including Hunt for Red October, Die Hard Il), 5 television movies (including the HBO movie Barbarians at the Gate), and several television series. He authored At That Point in Time, an inside story of the workings of the Watergate Committee CONGRESSMAN JIM COOPER SHORT BIO Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Jim Cooper is the son of former Tennessee Governor William Cooper. He is an attorney who was first elected to Congress in 1982, defeating Howard Baker's daughter, Cissy. In the first couple of terms, Cooper focused mainly on banking and consumer issues. However, in the 102nd Congress, Cooper has led the debate on managed competition as the best reform of health care policy in the U.S . This has led to extensive media coverage both locally and nationally. Cooper has been planning this run since Al Gore vacated the seat to become Vice President. His fundraising has been strong even though he is not accepting PAC contributions. However, Cooper has said that he may change his "no PAC contribution" policy if it appears that his opponent is catching-up in the fundraising race, in order to Page 67 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu "level the playing field." Cooper's candidacy is backed by the vast majority of Tennessee Democrat officials, including Governor Ned McWherter.

Jim Sasser {D) and Dr. Bill Frist {R) have "escalated their war of accusations past personal income, into the pork barrel and on to criminal coddling." Jumping into the fray, businessman John Jay Hooker {I) says he will file federal suit against both Sasser and Frist and describes himself as "the only candidate with enough courage to 'skate on the thin ice of ridicule.'" Hooker's suit will contend that his two opponents are violating citizens' right to a "fair and equal election" by "taking out-of-state political contributions. Hooker said he expects to lose at the district court level, but believes that, at least, many citizens will agree with him. Meanwhile, Sasser and Frist's campaigns have reached the point of "daily denunciations" of one another. Frist accuses Sasser of "trying to out-conservative me ... recognizing he's vulnerable." Sasser views himself as "responding to distortions and outright fabrications" by a "desperate underdog." Hooker: "The man on my right {Frist) is trying to buy the election, while the man on my left {Sasser) has already sold a seat in the United States Senate" {8/29). NO MORE MR. CLEAN: Memphis COMMERCIAL APPEAL'S Brosnan comments that Frist's "Mr. Clean image is being tarnished by less-than-fair attacks on his opponent." Sasser's record "deserves a vigorous cross-examination. But there should be some boundary to political rhetoric. The Frist campaign has crossed it several times" {8/28) . CRIME BILL BICKERING: Frist "lashed out" at Sasser's "yes" vote on the crime bill: "Sasser tells Tennesseans he's pinched the pennies but, at the same time, in Washington, he votes to pinch taxpayer wallets for $41 million of pork" {CHATTANOOGA TIMES, 8/27). Sasser spokesperson James Pratt: "Dr. Frist has come down on the side of common criminals" {Humphrey, NEWS- SENTINEL, 8/29). FED-EX IT: Sasser appointed FedEx chair Fred Smith as honorary chair of his re-election campaign and continued to "needle" Frist about his failure to make a full financial disclosure. In accepting the appointment, Smith "got in a jab" on Frist, saying, "You don't send a rookie to do a veteran's job" {Cheek, Nashville TENNESSEAN, 8/27).

Jim Sasser (D) by his main primary challenger, businessman Bob Corker (R). Corker, referring to his negative primary campaign against Frist: "A lot of times when you see Tennessee and Alabama play [football] , the players shake hands and leave the field -- it's the fans who sometimes take a while to adjust .... if Jim Sasser becomes the [Sen. Maj. Leader], he will be the point man in helping to implement the Clinton agenda." Frist: "We'll reach out to independents, we'll reach out to dissatisfied Democrats and together we'll take this state away from Jim Sasser" (Grundon, BRISTOL HERALD COURIER, 8/23). In a "show of unity," the two men "targeted" Sasser's voting record (Weston, KINGSPORT TIMES-NEWS, 8/23). Sasser responded later, saying Frist had "thrown truth to the wind in an effort to smear my record." Frist said he and Corker had "become good friends" during the primary battle: "It was like a good tennis match, but we managed to weather it" (Houk, JOHNSON CITY PRESS, Page 77 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu < Page 78 of 89 ...... fi_-·!

Apparently you did something similar during the Coverdell campaign. The main ag issue will be tobacco and of course private property rights always plays well. I understand a few good words about Congressman Quillen while you are in East Tenn. would go over well since he is so well liked. He goes by Mr. Quillen and always says the GOP stands for the "Great Opportunity Party". You should also know that Frist supports term limits while Quillen opposes. TOBACCO ... Tennessee is the 3rd largest tobacco producing state in the nation. Like farmers in North Carolina, Tennessee producers are also concerned about the Administrations position on tobacco taxes. The states Northeast farmers are planning a tractor rally to protest the taxes. You have said before that we can only tax tobacco so long before it runs out. It is also important to keep in mind that these farmers are upset at Clinton\Elders. Below are some of the Helms talking points on tobacco. -- Nationally, tobacco produced a net positive contribution of $4 billion to the trade balance last year and created 2 million jobs. It also generated $12 billion in taxes. -- a 75 cents tobacco tax would cost more than 273,000 jobs nationwide. (The Chafee propsal has a 45 cent tobacco tax). -- Smokers should not be forced to be societies debt-payers. A tobacco tax unfairly asks a single segment of our nation's economy to bare the full burden of financing health care reform. -- If we create new tobacco taxes, we will be repeating the mistake made with the luxury tax. The luxury tax significantly hurt the industry. Congress repealed the tax in 1992. PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS ... The League of Private Property Voters, which is comprised 261 grassroots groups around the country, analyzed 10 Senate private property rights votes in the areas of water rights, grazing and mining. Senator Sasser scored 0%. The Republican party is the party of private property. They recognize its importance and have fought tirelessly in attempting to get legislation passed. Their most recent efforts was attaching your revised amendment to the Safe Drinking Water Act. You amendment requires agencies to conduct "Takings Impact Assessments" when promulgating regulations. Page 88 of 89 This document is from the collections at the Dole Archives, University of Kansas http://dolearchives.ku.edu September 13, 1994 TO: Senator Dole FROM: Janet Sena SUBJECT: Tennessee Update In talking with Bill Frist's political director, environmental issues are extremely sensitive and she would prefer that we not bring up any issue in particular. Evidently, recent state legislation to regionalize landfills has resulted in numerous lawsuits. Many small towns are concerned with addressing what they see as very complex environmental issues they are not prepared to handle. Tennessee has many small landfills that are near capacity and sinkholes complicate the issue. Page 89 of 89
