It notes a financing gap, the shift to a candidate-centered campaign, and the plan to raise $1 million to $1.5 million for the general election against Reagan.

Urges Congress Refuse to Seat Schmitz Rousselot
New Jersey State Senator James N. Wallwork urged Congress to refuse seating California GOP nominees John G. Schmitz and John H. Rousselot due to their John Birch Society ties. Rousselot, a former Birch PR director, and Schmitz, an avowed member, won the June primary in California and face Democratic nominee Myrlie Evers in the 24th District race.
