MITCHELL March 9, 1981 Mr. George Bayoud 807 Brazos # 1001 Austin, Texas 78701 RE: Polling in Texas ROBERT B. PAYNE JAMES N. WELSH Dear George: Attached is a copy of a poll run in Texas in January sponsored by the Republican National Committee. If I were you, I would make it absolutely clear to them that I didn't appreciate them polling in Texas without your knowledge, consultation, and/or permission. I would be especially emphatic as to their polling voter percep- tions of the Governor. I cannot tell you how I got a copy of this, but if I got a copy, who else might have access to this data? Sincerely, BRIGHT & COMPANY James JBF/bb Attachment . Francis, Jr.
