began to take the 1968 campaign manual, using that as a
starting point, but by the time it was all completed,
very little out of the 1968 campaign was applicable.
I
spent the next three to five months putting that manual
together. The manual will speak for itself, and
that' 11 be part of the Archives.
SY: And you said before that the files 00 reflect the
changes in the manual
RW:
That's correct.
SY:
that it would show that earlier versions and the
changes that have been made.
RW: That's correct. All that material and everything will
remain in the advance office, because this will be an
ongoing thing for the next four years.
SY: Of course, yes.
RW: And it will be needed for the new people that come.

Hm hmm.
RW:

the manual, primarily working on the manual was, well,
was me; I wrote it. Then Steve [Stephen B. ] Bull and
Dwight and I spent many many hours going through,
section by section, with them adding various input,
changing certain formats as we decided, maybe, that
there was a better way to do it. The manual, I
envisioned from the very outset, should be a living
repository of thoughts and new concepts and new ideas.
In no way should it become a stagnant, dead, this is
