I will send a letter to each CTements' County Chairman asking him or her to go see the local Republican County Chairman and 0 Lc establish communication with them. PAT 2. A letter will be prepared from Rita Clements to the Republitan delegates and alternates to the State Convention inviting them to tour the Governor's Mansion while in Austin.

I'm going to ask Mark Heckmann to prepare a day in the life of Bill Clements article to be used for the "Texas Advocate." This will be the main story in the September issue of the "Advocate" if we can get it put together in time. 4. A letter will be sent to 280,000 Republican primary voters - signed by eight or ten of the top known Republicans in the state urging primary voters,to get involved in the Clements Campaign and tell why it is importa to support Clements' reelection. -1-0A46_ -To 110-12 RX; 5. The 1980 Reagan favorables (700,000 households) will be key .punched by September 1st. I suggest we consider this group for a mailing (perhaps this will be tabloid 111). 6. A mailing to the Texas Federation of Republican Women (9,000) will be prepared and signed by all the past presidents of the TFRW. This letter will encourage participation in the campaign and again stress the importance of Governor Clements' reelection. In early October, the party will have a surrogate tour in the high density Republican areas such as Midland, Plano and southwest Houston. These surrogates (Fran Chiles, Chet Upham, Lou Brown, etc). will speak to Republican organizations and groups about the importance of the Governors campaign and urge their participation in the Governor's campaign effort. ol 'qv • .C.1 • 8.
