 YOUR SCHEDULE BETWEEN NOW AND DECEMBER

It is critical that.we plan now for the next few months to in- sure that your time in Georgia and outside the state is utilized most effectively. I realize that the amount of time you devote to the budget and state programs depends to a large extent on whether or not you are tuting over the reins of government to a competent successor or fighting to proteCt your reforms and im—

provements from Lester Maddox.

You will find elsewhere in this memorandum an abundance of chores to be done here at home that will require enormous amounts of time. Much of it relates to being prepared emotionally and mentally for the next two years: also, basic and critical decisions about your positions on certain issues and the very thrust of your campaign must be formulated over the next few months. My point hero is that there is much to be done here at home - not the least of which is

involving and utilizing our many Georgia friends.

I will concentrate here on how best to utilize that time which you can afford to spend out of state during the next few months. Your role with the DNC should take very little time. All of our materials

and campaign aids have been produced and are available to candidates.
