    OPERATION:  STREET-MAN

    PROJECT INFO:
                 B1 Flag has sufficient terminals in the field
                 in strategic positions to bing about the decline
                 of Gabe Cazares as a political candidate, both
                 locally and nationally.

    MAJOR TARGET:
                 On November 3, 1976, Gabe Cazares will be out
                 of a job and in the street looking for another
                 to pay for his now monumental legal fees.
                 This would entail (1) his resignation as the
                 Mayor and (2) his losing the congressional race
                 to Bill Young.  It would also entail his doing
                 such a poor job as a candidate and spending
                 money that he cannot wage another campaign for
                 mayor in February 1977.

    PRIMARY TARGETS:
                 1. Br 1 B1 Flag is there for the origination and
                 execution of this project.

                 2. The purpose of this project is to [illegible]
                 [illegible] area attack [illegible] Gabe Cazares
                 from his position of power, thus cutting off
                 that attack.

                 3. Br 1 Flag is responeible for the execution
                 of this project.

                 4. Normal FP lines are maintained for the ex-
                 ecution of this project.

                 5. Normal command and comm lines per the Info Bu
                 and Flag GO org board are held, maintained and
                 re-established for the execution of this project.

                 6. This project is to dove-tail into the normal
                 production lines of Br I Info Flag.

    VITAL TARGETS:

                 1. Normal production and products are to be gotten
                 out throughout the execution of this project.

                 2. The targets of this project are to dove-tail
                 with other bureau actions so as not to reveal the
                 C of S as the source of the action.

                 3. All security measures are to be reinforced.
                        a) Secure debrief areas
                        b) Brief debriefs, put in writing
                        c) No materials in FSMs spaces

                 4. That this project is in fact totally executed.

    OPERATING TARGETS:

    CHANNEL A:   "You can't have your cake and eat it too!"

                 INFO:
                        Cazares plans to remain in the office of
                        Mayor of Clearwater during his entire
                        election.  This would mean that if he
                        fails in his bid for a Congressional
                        seat, he would still be the Mayor.
                        The City Commission was split on this
                        action earlier in a vote of 2-2.  Howard
                        Lawrence the president of the Pinellas
                        Democratic Committee said that he felt
                        that Cazares should resign when the elec
                        got close. Cazares gotpetitions saying
                        he should stay in office. Thus:

                 1. As the CW Sun is currently conducting a sur
                 to find out who the public are going to vote
                 ensure that Cazares gets less than 20% of the

                 2. Ensure that the results of the survey are
                 to light in the Cazares campaign office. En
                 is bought to the attention of Demo party
                 are considering funding the campaign.

                 3. After the affects of the survey are bro
                 light in the campaign, the FAM internally
                 bring the following to the attention of
                 Wexo or Henderson - the campaign managers

                        "After talking with lots of people
                        have told me that they feel that
                        is trying to 'have his cake and
                        too' - what they have told me is
                        feel that he is trying to stay
                        as mayor and not run a real camp
                        They feel that he should resign
                        he would get my vite."

                 No source for this statement is given
                 to be laid in almost simultaneously w
                 of the poll, for maximum impact.

                 4. a letter campaign is to be started into the
                 CW Sun and the St. Pete Times, on the theme of
                 Cazares should resign from office and the fact
                 that he is doing neither job adequately.  These
                 are to be from untraceable citizens of CW.

                 5. A couple of letters from "concerned democrats"
                 are to be sent to Howard Lawrence of the Democratic
                 Committee pressing for Cazares' resignation so he
                 can run a successful campaign.

                 6. A couple of letters to the CW City Commission
                 should be sent, complaining about the lack of
                 attention that Cazares has paid to his duties as
                 Mayor.  This should be sent by someone who has
                 followed Cazares' campaign closely, naming the
                 dates of his campaign speeches, etc.  This should
                 be in the form of "start paddling or get out of
                 the boat".  Should go "Attn: Karen Deblaker".

                 7. CONDITIONAL:

                        As it is expected that Cazares will try to
                        gain sympathy from this action or take
                        advantage of it politically, all lines should
                        be monitored (internally in the campaign
                        to the media).  Based on this, OTs 4,5 & 6
                        are to be done again geared to attack the
                        new line that Cazares takes, to the end of
                        his resignation from office.

    CHANNEL B:

                 INFO:

                        B1 Flag has sufficient lines to cut and
                        up Cazares' campaign which he will be
                        as a Congressional candidate and they
                        be used.  Thus:

                 1. Press releases into the CW Sun from the Ca

                 camp are to be reviewed.  Major statements are to
                 be removed from the lines and only the minor in-
                 significant statements and promo are to be allowed
                 through.  These will be passed onto Jennifer Gavin
                 with a "here's somemore garbage" attitude.

                 2. The FSM internally in the campaign is to make
                 herself into a "valuable terminal" in the campaign
                 because she is the one contacting the public on the
                 lines and "knows what the people want" out of this
                 campaign.

                                             T/BR I DIR FLAG

                 3. After OT #2 above is complete, FSM is to lay
                 in the following:

                        a) The public wants to know how Cazares
                        would handle himself on the floor of Congress
                        as they are concerned over his constant battles
                        on the floor of city hall (ie, battles with
                        Picet Floyd, etc.) (Get Cazares to go [illegible]
                        in defending his actions)

                        b) The public wants to know why Cazares made
                        his filing of financeal disclosures late,
                        "doesn't he know the rules".  (This was an
                        attack line of Young's)

                        c) The public wants to know what qualifications
                        Cazares has as a viable national candidate.
                        What is his educational background, what is
                        his history on national issues.

                        d) Any other point which Young attacks on
                        to be made into "public opinion" which the
                        public wants answered, even people who support
                        Cazares.

    NOTE:  The action here is to force Cazares into a "glutz" situation
           of constantly defending himself and his actions, and remove
           all of his attack statements from local media lines.
           Force him to spend his campaign funds for his defense, not
           for his offense.

    CHANNEL C:

                 INFO:

                        It is currently known that Cazares' attorney,
                        Doherty, wants off the case because he has not
                        been paid.  There is also the situation [illegible]

                        the city of CW is paying for his defense in
                        the suit we filed against him. Thus:

                 1. FSM internally in the campaign is to mention
                 that her husband is currently in practice with
                 a very good firm of Gould, McFarland, Phillips, et
                 al.

                 2. CONDITIONAL:  Should the opportunity arise that
                 Doherty's refusal to continue as Cazares' counsel
                 arise in the campaign headquarters, FSM is to suggest
                 that the FIRM be used as they are quite good.

                 3. CONDITIONAL:  Based on #2 access is to be made to
                 all of Cazares' legal files within the law firm and
                 strategy designed from there.

                                             T/DIR BR I FLAG

                 4. CONDITIONAL:  Based on the successful results of
                 channels A & B, the possibility of an amended complaint
                 filed against Cazares is to be looked over.  It should
                 be one in which the City of CW is let off the hook
                 in the defense of Cazares as mayor and directed to him
                 as an individual.  This will tie him up with large
                 legal commitments and deny him funds for any campaign
                 bid in February for Mayor.

                 5. Re-implement "glutz" button, for Cazares in the
                 Mayoral campaign via FSM involving herself in the
                 campaign, should he run again.
