BACKGROUND Kentucky's primary is May 25; 37 delegates will represent the state at the National Convention.

Kentucky is a tough state but the organization is now starting to come around and things are looking better. Cong. Carter publicly endorsed the President at a press conference on April 5; has his entire organization in the 5th District working for the President. This is the most Republican District in the state.

PFC Chairman: Hal Rogers PFC Finance Chairman: Joseph E. Johnson III

TOPICS OF Thanks for yru r endorsement. DISCUSSION I would appreciate your appraisal of where things stand in Kentucky.

What can we do to improve our efforts?

Please convey my thanks to the people in your District who have worked so hard in building up ' an efficient and effective organization.

April 23, 1976

, KENTUCKY

PFC got a late start in Kentucky. There is now an excellent team headed up by Hal Rogers and Huda Jones. National Committeeman Ed Middleton has been out in front for the President from the beginning and has been very effective in combating the Reagan forces in the State Executive Committee meetings.

Congressman Tim Lee Carter is publicly supporting the President and made a public announcement on April 5th.

PFC is running the campaigns in Tennessee and Kentucky in tandem because they are on the same day and the media from Tennessee will reach all of southern Kentucky.

There are some reports that former Governor Nunn feels he may have jumped onto the Reagan bandwagon too soon.

It is felt that we will do better in the delegate count than originally thought.

37 delegates

TO MAYOR JIM TAFT 401-785-1844 (0) DATE Saturday, May 29, 1976 (Mayor Taft will be in his Cranston, R.I. office between 1-2 p.m. today, taking a break from his campaign. RECOMMENDED BY Rogers C.B. Morton BACKGROUND Mayor Jim Taft of Cranston, Rhode Island is running unopposed in the Republican primary for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. The Mayor endorsed the President yesterday in a joint press conference with PFC Chairman "Buddy" Cianci, Mayor of Providence, and John Chaffee, former Governor and candidate for U.S. Senate. Mayor Taft has turned his entire organization over to the PFC to identify and get out the vote between now and the primary. This effort will be crucial in achieving the desired margin of victory in Rhode Island. Mayor Taft and Mayor Cianci do not get along very well but Jim Field of the White House staff and Bill Russo, the PFC field man, have managed to get both men working together. Mayor Taft wrote the President within the last 10 days requesting that the President visit Rhode Island between now and the National Convention to participate in a fund raiser for the Mayor and John Chaffee. No commitments have been made on this request. Mayor Taft has been quoted as supporting V.P. Rockefeller for the number two spot on the Republican ticket. There are 19 delegates at stake in Rhode Island. TOPICS OF DISCUSSION Appreciate your help and that of your fine organization in working to turn the vote out on Tuesday. This is crucial to achieving a convincing margin o~crictory. a.\ 9-E'f\9.£0 f\\.f. .. '()9.\G\N'Qcut-AtN1S ·s\1i.C\t-.\. 0

MEMORANDUM FOR: TERRY O'DON~~

FROM: JIM CAVANAUG~ SUBJECT: Telephone Call to Secretary Coleman

Dick has asked that you remind the President to place a telephone call today to Bill Coleman so that Bill will have the opportunity to give his recommendation to the President on the Boston busing situation. The Secretary is very concerned about this situation and has expressed his hopes to Ed Levi that Justice not intervene in the Boston case.

Last Friday at a dinner meeting of a law group here in town which Ed Levi attended, Bill indicated that he first thought that this was a decision that the Cabinet should make, but upon further reflection felt that Ed Levi was the government's top legal expert and that ultimately it would be the Attorney General's decision to make.

THE WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON May 20, 1976

RECOMMENDED TELEPHONE CALL

TO: Houston (Hugh) Flourney, Director for the Center of Public Affairs, University of Southern California.

DATE: Prior to departing for the West Coast on Saturday, May 22. RECOMMENDED BY: Stu Spencer, Mike Duval

PURPOSE: To seek his support for the California pri­ mary.

BACKGROUND: Hugh Flournoy lost the race for Governor of California to Jerry Brown by less than 1%.

He has strong support among moderate and liberal Republicans, in general, as well as good contacts with the Republican organiza­ tion throughout the State.

Stu Spencer suggests that if Flournoy dis­ cusses any specific conditions for his support that you advise him that Stu will be in contact to work out details.

TALKING POINTS: • I know that to win California I must appeal to all Republicans, conservatives, moderates and liberals. In your race against Jerry Brown, you showed strong support among the broad spectrum of Republicans, and also picked up considerable support from Independents and Democrats.

Our victory in Michigan and Maryland was based largely on a strong turnout by all Republicans, not just those who are extremely conservative.

' 2

• I believe that Republicans cannot expect to do well in November if our Party is led by former Governor Reagan. I'm certain you can appreciate the diffi­ culty that countless Republican candidates for Federal, State and local offices will have if the national ticket is headed by someone who does not have broad appeal throughout the Republican Party and to Independents and Democrats.

• Therefore, the California primary becomes of crucial importance, not just to my candidacy, but to the Republican Party as a whole in November. If I can win in California, then I think my chances for a first ballot victory in Kansas City are excellent. This will permit me to unify the Republican Party and develop the strongest possible position to take on our Democratic opponent in November. I believe this is the best course of action for a strong Republican showing in all races at the Federal, State and local levels in November.

• I hope very much that I can count on your support over the coming days leading to the June 8th primary.

• I'd also like your advice on how we can best turn out all Republicans, because in a big State like California with a very diverse Republican Party, apathy among the moderates could be very damaging to my chances.

TO: Guyford Stever, Director of the National Science Foundation

WHEN: • On or before Wednesday, May 26 o~ L.M'&R ~mbf,.f Slat RECOMMENDED ~~ BY: Douglas P. Bennett'O

BACKGROUND: 1. The Vice President and I have talked with Guy Stever respecting your desire to appoint him Science Advisor to the President.

2. In view of some discussions he is having with private industry, he has delayed in giving us a decision. Although both the Vice President and I feel that he would like to accept the post.

3. We feel that a telephone call from you by Wednesday, May 26, would be most constructive and persuasive.

TALKING POINTS: 1. Guy, I know the Vice President and Doug Bennett have told you how anxious I am for you to accept this important post as my Science Advisor.

2. I believe we have been able to work out a number of details with respect to this post with which you were concerned.

3. I gather that your timetable is such that yo'f are reaching the point where you would like to leave government. Your loyalty and dedication to the National Science Foundation have been most impres­ sive and I would hope that you could see your way clear to take on this responsibility as a member of my Senior Staff, at least through the end of the year. It seems to me this would allow that office to be structured and have the benefit of your initial Page 2 guidance coming from your vast wealth of experience.
