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
_______________________
T/DIR BR I
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.

T/DIR
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.
__________________________________
T/DIR BR I FLAG
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.
___________________________________
T/DIR BR I FLAG
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".
________________________________
T/DIR BR I FLAG
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.

T/DIR BR I FLAG
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.
____________________________
T/BR I DIR FLAG
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.
________________________________
T/DIR BR I FLAG
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.
________________________________
T/DIR BR I FLAG
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.
