4overnor )CLEMENTS Campaign September 15, 1982 Dear Fellow CEO: Governor Clements Campaign 805 Brazos Austin, Texas 78701 512 472-1982 The continuation of businesslike, conservative and effective government in Texas hinges on the reelection of Governor Bill Clements on November 2, 1982. In 1979, Governor Clements put to work his business management experience for the people of Texas. The result has been a reduction in the number of employees on the state payroll, decreased growth percentage of the state budget for the first time in 30 years and overall effective management practices and policies in state government. You, as a business leader, have a great deal of influence on employees, shareholders, families and friends, and, I believe, a responsibility to convey to them the importance of reelecting Bill Clements as Governor. Your assistance is vital to the reelection of Governor Clements in two important areas--the volunteer phone bank program and the get-out-the-vote campaign. The attached folder contains information and samples for your use in developing plans to recruit volunteers from the ranks of your employees and stockholders and to get every Clements vote to the polls on November 2. Elections are won at the grassroots level through personal contact with the voters. The statewide Clements telephone campaign will achieve this important contact with voters. For this effort, the campaign must generate a large number of volunteers across the state. We need your help to do this. As a follow-up to the phone campaign, we must get the vote for Bill Clements to the polls across the state on November 2. You also play an important role in this program by your personal contact with your employees and stock- holders. (See attached "General Guidelines for Corporation Political Activities in Texas".) Texas law does limit partisan activity to contacts with stockholders and their families. You should consult your legal counsel to be certain of your compliance with Texas law. The folder also contains progress reports which will enable us to keep in touch with you and the progress of the campaign in your area. With your help, Bill Clements will be reelected Governor in November! Sincerely, T. Boone Pickens, Jr. State Campaign Chairman Pol adv paid by The Governor Clements Committee, Tom B.
