RE: THE RICHARD NIXON FOUNDATION
Dear Ed:
In order to complete the minute book of the
Foundation in anticipation of the annual meeting to
be held at San Clemente later this month, I wish you
would undertake to obtain the signatures of the Execu-
tive Trustees on the enclosed documents:
1. Minutes of Organizational Meeting of
June 2, 1969. These should be signed by the seven
named Executive Trustees and by H. R. Haldeman as
"Chairman". I will obtain the signature of Herbert
W. Kalmbach as "Secretary".
2. Written Consent to Amendment of Articles
of Incorporation dated July 7, 1970. This document
should be signed by the seven named Executive Trustees.
The amendment to the Articles was occasioned by a
recent change in California law relating to charitable
trusts. The amendment does nothing more than to add
to the general purposes clause a provision reciting
that the Foundation is "irrevocably" dedicated to
charitable purposes. This amendment permits the Founda-
tion to claim exemption from local county property taxes
in California and in our opinion it is essential that
the Foundation take advantage of this additional exemption.
Mr. Edward L. Morgan
Deputy Assistant to the President
August 4, 1970

Please return these documents to me as soon
as possible.
Very truly yours,
Grook
