Waco, Texas, 10/22/80 l !
MR. PRESIDENT:
WE HERE IN TEXAS WANT YOU TO HAVE THE FONDEST
MEMORIES OF YOUR VISIT. NOTHING IS MORE
SYHBOLIC OF THE TEXAS TRADITION THAN A PAIR OF
COWBOY BOOTS. I HAVE HERE A PAIR OF BEAUTIFUL
WESTERN BOOTS J'.LA..DE BY THE DIXON BOOT COMPANY
AND DOI\ATED BY THE OWNER, MR. GEORGE BERGMAN TO
THE JEFFERSON COUNTY DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE. THESE BOOTS ARE A PART OF THE
POLITICAL ARCHIVES OF THE COUNTY DEMOCRATIC
COMMITTEE, BUT WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL WEAR THEM
IN GOOD HEALTH AND THAT YOU WILL HAVE FOND
MEMORIES OF THE PEOPLE OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS EACH
TIME YOU PUT THEM ON.

Mr. President:
Both Louisiana Senators will be meeting you at the airport. Our campaign has not gotten the kind of help it needs from either of them.
I have been assigned to the state and will be in Louisiana between now and the election for the primary purpose of getting Long and Johnston involved in our effort. With Long worried about his own election (this is ludicrous since he has no opposition in the general) and Johnston still bitter because he feels he did not get his proper reward for being at least the titular chair of our '76 campaign, this is going to be difficult.
You can be immeasurably helpful by letting each know that you need their help if you are going to carry the state and by giving each an indication of the type of assistance they can provide.

RUSSELL LONG (Be sure and pay special attention to Carolyn who is a great fan of you and Mrs. Carter and who has great influence on Russell. You might remind her of the dinner they had with you and Mrs. Carter at the White House -- an affair Mrs. Long says was probably the nicest evening she ever spent)
Senator Long has done very little either for or against us. He has said that he supports your re-election, but he has also said that he could work with whoever won the Presidential race.
We do not need any more statements like that. He has already won his race so his active help in our effort will cost him nothing.
We need: (1) his formal and unequivocal endorsement, (2) help and cooperation from his campaign organization �- he has already given us a black member of his campaign staff and he is doing
nicely, and (3) his help in raising money to get out the vote.
BENNETT JOHNSTON
After the '76 election, Johnston felt he should have gotten special consideration and rewards. He did not. He still feels neglected and disregarded.
We need: (1) His formal and unequivocal endorsement, (2) help from him in the Shreveport area which is his home, and (3) help from him in raising money to get out the vote on .

Attached is the "out of context" insert and the press release we would release to back it up.
The only two real possibilities for using it are the town hall meeting this morning or the BBQ at 4:30 p.m. this afternoon.
After talking with Jody, we recommend that you use it at the BBQ since it would more likely fit a rally-like situation. Because, for the networks, that is relatively late in the day we would like to go ahead and release the text of the insert and the press release earlier in the day, embargoed for use on delivery. This way the networks will know what is coming and go ahead and "sell" the story to their offices.
To do that, we need your agreement that you will use it there.
I will use it at BBQ, go ahead and release ahead of time.
Do not agree.

REALLY MADE f1E CHfHOUS ABOUT·WHAT SORT OF POLITICAL
ADVICE GOV. REAGAN WAS GETTING FROM MR. NIXON.
WELL, NOW WE KNOW.
YESTERDAY GOV. REAGAN ANNOUN�ED THAT HE HAD A
SECRET PLAN TO GET OUR HOSTAGES BACK.
DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR.
OF COURSE HE CAN'T TELL ANYBODY WHAT IT IS
ANYMORE THAN MR. NIXON COULD TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT
HIS SECRET PLAN TO WIN THE WAR.
YOU REMEMBER THAT SECRET PLAN. IT WAS SO
SECRET THAT TWELVE YEARS LATER WE STILL DON'T KNOW
WHAT IT WAS. AN'Yo-VC: p�L1&- V&-?

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM: BilL Alexander, M.C.
RE: Excerpts from a speech del ivered at the Minority Business Development Administrati on Conference, Helena, AR., October 20, 1980
During the past two and half weeks, I have been traveling in the First Congressional District, Arkansas and I have spoken to perhaps 3-4000 persons at some 25 events. Based upon my assessment of citizen reaction to the Presidential campaign, I would draw the following two conclusions;
---Most citizens are just beginning to focus on the nature·. of the choice before them on November 4.
-�-The _election will ultimately turn on the question pf whether certain mis-perceptions about the accomplishments of the Carter Administration can be effectively dispelled·.
Acting on those conclusions, I made the following remarks last Monday before an audience of about 250 minority business persons:
Because there has been a pronounced public tenden cy to assign blame rather than support alternatives, I said,
11During the past few weeks, Jimmy Carter has come under attack by his political opponents who say his economic policies are inept and unsound.
"I suggest to you that the skill of a doctor should not be measured by the patient's diseaf!e. Sometimes, the doctor's skill is best measured by how well the patient survives the illness.
"During the past three years, America has been stricken with an economic malady that would have overcome a man of lesser courage, character and intelligence than Jimmy Carter."
I enumerated the fact that your Administration had inherited a $60 billion deficit in 1977, that the industrial base had become so overregulated that it had been increasingly unable to meet foreign co mpetition; that the nation was "floundering, in need of a meaningful energy po-licy;" that the unemployment rate w�s one of the highest since the days of the Great Depressionj and that the bureaucracy had become bloated and badly in need of reform.
In response to tho�e conditions, I said,
"Within two years, Jimmy Carter had cut the budget deficit by half. By the end of his third year in office, he was proposing a balanced budget. Ladies and gentlemen, I suggest to you that if this nation had not experienced a 125 percent increase in foreign oil prices over 1977 levels---increases which were ca-pped off by the huge OPEC oil price rise in June 1979---we would have had a balanced budget in 1980.
"I suggest to you that the burgeoning cost of energy created inflationary pressures Which mandated stringent monetary controls to stop inflation in its tracks. Tne inevitaQ��---and some say,necessary---recession triggered autqm�tic,-government expenditures which ·will result in yet another deficit this year. If those recession fighting outlays had not been necessary, the Fiscal 1981 budget would almost certainly have been in balance."
I then spoke of your program for deregulating the transportation industry, your elimination of a great many "bureaucratic constraints hobbling the nation's industry and business," and cited your sensitivity to the need for assuring a better environment while recognizing the need for increased productivity •. . Finally, I cited recent reports of the reduction of the size of the FederaJ. bureaucracy resulting from your hiring freeze policy.
·
I continued by outlining the essentials of your energy. program as embodied in the Windfall Profits Tax Act and the Energy Security Act. I spoke of the benefits to new oil production and exploration of your phased decontrol.of domestic crude oil, your concern for makirg more and better use of coal for power utilities, your program of incentive� for energy conservation, your determination to make nuclear power a safe and viable part of the energy system and your aggressiveness in stimulatbg research and development of alternate sources of renewable energy.
As examples of the soundness of your foreign policy, I said,·.
·:".;�-11The -Carter Administration met confrontation in Iran wit:fi':·:atrengtli' and resolve. His,·normalizat.bn of relations with'China tfpped the balance of power in the Paciffc toward the West and opened a vast new market for American products. His patience and persuasiveness gave us the Camp David Accords which, at present, are keeping a fragile peace in the explosive middle East. He has forged new ties with our allies based on the principle of mutual·respect and responsibility.
·
'.'His determination to place human rights above political expediency has restored the United States to a position of respect among the developing nations and has served notice to the Soviet Union and other oppressive regimes that the United States will not practice business-as-usual policies with those who refuse to respect the rights of mankind."
In speaking of-;.'national defense, I said,
"Jimmy Carter reversed a decade of neglect of American defenses by practi.cing a tough-minded policy of -force modernization while p'ilrsuing arms limitation.
"During the last two years, there has been a realistic concexnon the part-of the administration for improving the quality of u.s. defenses to meet an increasing Soviet threat."
Ci ting::.the Administration defense budget request, I detailed some of the programs made possibl e by increased expenditures, notably, comparability of service pay, the development of a new manned inu'lti-role bomber to replace the aging B-52, procurement of ALCMs, deployment of the MX, the procurement of a new nuclear carrier and development of the Rapid Deployment Force.
I concluded my comments on national defen se by saying,
"In short, Jimmy Carter is not practicing a policy of wishful thinking about Defense. He has faced up to the very real Soviet threat manifested by the Kremlin�s demonstrated intention to extend its influence far from its shores by force of arms."
Finally, I spoke of the near certainty that the next four years would bring several vacancies to-the Supreme Court,
"Justices are appointed for life andbecause the Court's decisions have a pronounced influence on our lives and on our-society, the power of Presidential appointment is the power to influence policy and events long after a President has left office.
"Frankly, there is every indication that Ronal d Reagan, if elected, would appoint individuals to the Court who reflect the narrow interests of the party he represents. Since the mid-1930s, there has been a consistent thread of concern in the Supreme Court for balancing individual and civil rights against property rights. All rights must be protected and it is vital that the Court exercise its great powers in a way that will not benefit one segment of our society to the disadvantage of others."
In concluding the speech, I spoke of the Democratic tradition which has provided the greatest good for the greatest number and said of your presidency,
"It takes cotn"age to trod the path of principle when it would be politically prudent to react to the clamor of special interests. Jimmy Carter has hued closely to the path of principle, demonstrating the kind of political courage that this nation has alw�ys demanded 6f''i ts leaders. Because- he has not shied away from the tougher path, this nation will emerge stronger and better able to meet its future."
Mr. President, I have subjected you to this lengthy memorandum not to convince you of my support but to offer you my counsel. If the issues are clearly articulated and the Carter AdministraUon record On those·��ssues is stated without equivocation or apology, I am convinced that the vast majority of all Americans will correctly discern that their own personal int�rests best align with the aims and goals of the Democratic party.
I can assure you that during the time remaining before November 4, I will take that message to the voters in Arkansas.
With kindest regards, I am,
Bill Alexander, M.C.

Fate of Constitution In Hands of Undecided Voters
Nearly half ofArka.n.Bas voters have not yet made up their minds about the proposed constitution of 1980. They clearly hold the key to the future.
