MARCH 11, 1991

TO: SENATOR DOLE
FROM: DAN STANLEY
SUBJECT: PERSIAN GULF DELEGATION

Senator Warner has been working with Senator Ford to work out details on the codel to the Mideast. The itinerary seems set and both gentlemen seem to agree on what to see and do. I detected no serious problems between the two.

Warner and Ford will have a meeting tomorrow following the Policy Luncheon to discuss the details of the trip with the members who will be going. Warner is likely to announce the meeting during tomorrow's luncheon.

The list of those going (so far) is as follows:

REPUBLICANS
WARNER
THURMOND
CHAFEE
DOMENICI
WALLOP
MCCAIN
MCCONNELL
NICKLES
COATS
BURNS
MACK (?)
LOTT (?)
SMITH (?)

ARMY ESCORTS (6)

DEMOCRATS
FORD
HEFLIN
GLENN
DECONCINI
KERRY
LAUTENBERG
SANFORD
REID
RIEGLE (?)
LIBERMAN

*THE ISSUE OF STAFF FOR OTHER MEMBERS WILL LIKELY BE RAISED. FORD HAS A "NO STAFF" RULE FOR THE DEMOCRATS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MITCHELL. FORD IS AGREEABLE TO THAT THURMOND REQUIRES ONE PERSON BUT WILL REOPEN THE ISSUE WITH HIS MEMBERS SHOULD OUR SIDE INSIST ON PERSONAL STAFF.

-- DRESS WILL BE "RUGGED CASUAL" AND A FIRM BOOT OR SHOE IS RECOMMENDED. ATHLETIC SHOES OR DOCKSIDERS WON'T PROTECT THE FEET FROM SHARP STONES. A SPORT COAT AND TIE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE VISIT WITH THE KING AND EMIR BUT NO OTHER TIME.
