Office of the Governor To: From: Date: MEMO Governor Clements Jim Kastef February 22, 1982 Re: Redistricting FEB 23 4982 FEB 23 1982 Austin, Texas 78711 Phone (512) 475-0510 I reCeived a call from Representative David London. He states that Mark White has submitted a plan for redistricting to the federal court. The plan was drafted 'by Duane Holman, who is Hobby's campaign manager and an ex-director of the Democratic Party, also by Bob Slagel. According to London, Holman is Slagle's boy. According to London the plan was drafted with the assistance of the Texas Trial Lawyers to get as many Trial Lawyers in the Legislature as possible. Their plan pairs Walter Grubbs and Gary Thompson, and unpairs Bill Heatly (who was paired with Grubbs) and Larry Shaw, of Big Springs. London states it is a power- play by the Trial Lawyers.
