Yuile 513, 1500 Q.6gia4n,ilacietocmcd q/eirizzir, 22209 September 2, 1982 Honorable William Clements 9100 N Central Expressway Suite 145 Dallas, Texas 75231 Dear Governor Clements: (70,9 )5.22 -2800 I've been told by a number of people that you are quoting a survey which NCPAC took through Decision Making Information, saying that it shows you ahead in your race for governor. Let me point out that NCPAC offered to supply this poll to you, plus a briefing with DMI, but Jim Francis said you wanted nothing to do with NCPAC. But to set the record straight, the poll taken in May showed you losing by (8%) (4% to 4%). But much more important was the fact that your unfavorable image was much higher than Mark White's. This survey shows that you must make White the issue, and not be defensive. The offer still goes to supply this information. And of course, we want to help you anyway we can. Sin erely, Joh Nat JTD:lb erry) Dolan airman
