Dear Mr. Katz:
The President-elect has referred to me for attention your
letter of December 11. It may be of some comfort to you to know that
the inaugural dress instructions, by the protocol officer, include spe-
cific reference and specification for hats.
It is true that the President-elect, personally, will be
hatless during the ceremony. However, I feel confident that the Vice
President-elect and other distinguished personages who will appear
during the ceremony, will display the prescribed headwear.
Mr. Nixon asked me to express to you his appreciation for
your thoughtful offer which, under the circumstances, he will not be
accepting.
With appreciation for your thoughtfulness in writing, I am

Sir:
Several weeks ago there was an item in the Wall
Street Journal, indicating that you planned to be
hatless at your Inauguration. If true, I hope
that you will take a few minutes to consider what
wearing a hat would mean to the image you reflect
to millions who will see you every day during the
next eight years.
Headwear has always been a symbol of stature among
leaders everywhere and I recall as you no doubt
will, that General Eisenhower, even though he
changed from a silk hat to a Homburg, was hatted
at his Inauguration. His personal image, along
with the conduct of his Administration, did much
to help restrain the erosion of dignity which seems
to have accelerated since 1960. We feel confident
that we can show you how well you would look in a
hat, not only at your Inauguration but at the many
occasions you will find yourself during your
Administration.
Last week I mentioned the item in the Wall Street
Journal to our mutual friend, Barry Leithead and
told him I was going to write you. He remarked
that he thought he was still your personal shirtmaker
and hoped that the "hatless" item was not a foreboding
of bad news for the shirt industry because your hat-
lessness is not good news for the hat industry.

With no thought of Corporate publicity or personal
gain, we would be pleased to deliver, at your con-
venience, a selection of headwear from the Cavanagh
Store, appropriate for the Inauguration and we hope
this may rekindle your interest in hats which are
a most important part of the men's fashion industry
in this country.
If your secretary will give us your headsize and
indicate any convenient time, we will arrange to
bring you a few hats to try on and see for your-
self how much they will do for your total appearance
and image.

Dear Jack:
The inaugural ceremonies are my liaison responsibility,
and I anticipate that there may be several occasions when Schramsberg
may be represented.
There is a luncheon immediately following the inaugural
swearing-in at the Capitol, but this is at the jurisdiction of the Con-
in
gress.
There will be a family reception at the White House imme-
diately following the inaugural parade, and there will be a staff re-
ception on the following day.
There may be also some occasion for bibulation at or be-
tween the inaugural ball appearances.
Perhaps Mr. Addey Bassin could give me a call at the above
number and we could work something out.
I understand that California State Wine Growers are providing
the White House with a cellar. I would be happy to work with Mr. Bassin
to make sure that Schramsberg is properly included, if you would like
me to.

Dear John,
This subject is not likely in your main stream of interest, but in the
event you touch on it anywhere, I'd like you to at least be aware of our
effort.
We are established with one of the very fine dealers in Washington;
Mac Arthur Beverages, Inc. - Mr Addy Bassin, proprietor. This firm has
worked with government and society circles for years and has one of the finest
wine stocks in the country.
Mr. Bassin is seeking to have our champagnes placed in some phase of the
Inauguration activity. Since this current champagne is the Centernial Vintage -
marking 100 years since the first harvest here - it would obviously be most
significant for us if he could have any success.
I really do not intend this to be a request for you to do any "running around!'
and Iknow you haven't the time for it anyway. But, should anything come to
mind that would be helpful, it will be greatly appreciated.
I understand our good friend Cal Knudsen is on the scene somewhere back
there and you might say hello for me if your paths cross.
Very best wishes to you for the Holiday Season.

Dear John:
I am a recipient of your "last instructional memo of the campaign." While
you were very high in your praise of the advance men, I'm sure that their
effectiveness was in large measure attributable to your superlative lead-
ership. Thus, my congratulations to you, particularly for the recognition
implicit in your White House appointment.
Actually, you may remember that I went to New York for the training ses-
sion last August but was then notified I could not be spared from my job
that long. So, I continued my local duties as Maryland Research Chairman
and helped train our Congressional candidates. Also, I didn't feel it
appropriate to seek reimbursement of my New York trip expense- the expe-
rience of hearing your training lecture was worth it.
While I would, of course, enjoy being included, I really doubt I am eli-
gible for the nice arrangements being made for advance men during the
inaugural activities. In any event, I appreciate being included on your
campaign mailing list.
All the best in 1969.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Herb Klein
FROM: Hank Berliner
SUBJECT: Nixon and Agnew Ball Site Visits
DATE: December 23, 1968
Mark Evans has asked me to pass on to you
and to John Erlichman and John Nidecker
a draft recommendation for Mr. Nixon and
Governor Agnew's itinerary on the night
of the Inaugural Ball.
This schedule assumes that the President
and Vice President will have a separate
itinerary. Further, it has been suggested
that the Marriotts and Evans accompany
Mr. Nixon and the Arends accompany Governor
Agnew. You will note an overlap has been
scheduled at the Washington Hilton to
provide one location where TV and still
photos could be taken of the Presidential
Party. In accomplishing this, the Vice
President could visit the Exhibition Hall
and then form up with the Nixon party for
entrance into the Grand Ball Room. The
Agnew party would then leave the Grand
Ball Room and proceed on to the last stop
while Mr. Nixon would stay a few minutes
longer. The schedule provides for Governor
Agnew to finish his visits at the Smithsonian
where Maryland is assigned.

Dear Bob:
As you know, the Inaugural Committee has established a United
Citizens Committee and I have been appointed its chairman. We
have two functions to perform, each of which requires your help
if at all possible.
First, our primary function is to submit lists of names of
the citizens participants in the campaign who most deserve re-
ceiving invitations to attend the Inaugural. We have been allotted
a quota for each of the Inaugural functions except for the actual
swearing-in ceremony. It is my understanding that the Joint Com-
mittee of Congress in charge of this function will allocate a
number of tickets for the swearing-in to you and that any allot-
ments received by the United Citizens Committee will have to come
from you. I would appreciate your advising me at your earliest
convenience of the allocation United Citizens may expect, if any.
This is a very difficult assignment as we have over 13,000 chair-
men of various groups scattered around the country, citizens organi-
zations, headquarters staff, etc., and we are only being allotted
one thousand invitations to the balls.
Secondly, we have been charged with producing the Inaugural
All-American Gala, which will take place Saturday night, January 18,
at National Guard Armory. The Gala is different this year in that
it is an official function of the Inaugural, with its proceeds
going to offset the deficit of the total Inaugural as opposed to
Page two
Mr. Haldeman
December 13, 1968
the coffers of the Republican Party. I understand that at this
moment Mr. Nixon does not plan to attend the Gala. Frankly, if
he does not attend our ability to produce the show with top grade
talent and, even more important, to make it a financial success
will be greatly hindered. Although it will be at the Armory, we
have the assurance of local citizens committees that there will
be no security problem. I would very much appreciate your con-
sideration of this problem and hope that perhaps Mr. Nixon will
reconsider.
Please accept my belated congratulations on your appointment.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon, I remain

Inauguration
Attached is a general schedule of the 1969 inaugural activities.
A detailed schedule with times of arrival and departure has
not yet been developed.
Your participation in these events begins Sunday evening,
January 19, with the Inaugural Concert. Prescribed dress for this af-
fair will be long or short evening dress, or cocktail dress, and gloves.
Black tie is preferred for escorts with dark business suit optional.
The next morning you will leave the Statler (your hotel) to
pick up the Johnsons at the White House. From the White House the
Nixons and the Johnsons will motor to the Capitol for the official cere-
monies. As these ceremonies are outdoors, the suggested dress for
you is warm winter clothing.
After the swearing-in ceremonies, at approximately 1:00 p.m.,
the President will host a luncheon in the Capitol. This will be attended
by Cabinet members, their wives, the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, and selected family and friends.
Following the luncheon, you will proceed to the reviewing
stand to salute the Inaugural Parade which begins at 2:00 p.m. Although
you will be seated in a heated enclosure, warm dress is recommended.
The parade is expected to last two hours. When it is con-
cluded, you are free to retire to your new home. No formal dinner
meeting or party is planned. Will you wish to plan something?
The Inaugural Ball is the final official event of the weekend.
There are six separate balls this year. You and the President are ex-
pected to make brief appearances at each. This will occupy your evening
between 9:00 p.m. and 12:00 a. m.
Dress for the balls will be full-length gowns and long gloves.
The President will be attired in "white tie and tails". Black tie is per-
mitted for most of the gentlemen in attendance.
-2-
On the following day, Tuesday, at 11:00 a. m., a coffee re-
ception by the President and his family has been scheduled at the
White House to receive the staffs of the two campaign headquarters,
in New York and Washington, D. C., who scattered all over the country
after the election before they could be thanked. We have scheduled
this gathering as an opportunity for an official "thank you" from the
Nixon family to the campaign staff. For many people, this will be a
first and/or last meeting with the President and his family for whom
they worked.

Because John Ehrlichman is handling the inaugural activities,
your memorandum to Bob Haldeman (attached) has come to me for
attention.
The entire Cole family has been invited to the inauguration
as guests of RN. Bob McKeon of the Joint Inaugural Committee
is handling the arrangements.
You may reply to Messrs. Winson and Rockstrom.

Dear Mr. President:
Instead of sitting here in Chicago trying to figure out why we did
not receive the black vote, I have talked to various committeemen
who are Negroes. I have even considered firing all of the people
who are Negroes for not producing a vote. I realize that you would
not approve of such a tactic; therefore, I wanted to discuss with each
and every committeeman, why.
One of the most articulate and educated committeemen, is Hamilton
Talbert of the 4th Ward. He works for the First National Bank in
Chicago. He has told me that the endorsement by Reverend Jackson
of you was the most effective method of uniting the Negro people in
the Chicago area for Humphrey. He said that all of the Negro preachers
and men of influence went to the fifth floor of City Hall and then arranged
to endorse Humphrey because they do not follow, nor do they like
Reverend Jackson.
This is being submitted for information. I do not know who in the
Chicago area recommended the action of Mr. Jackson endorsing you,
but I would look with a jaundiced eye toward that individual in the future.
Respectfully,
Jac Joseph I. Woods

Dear Mr. President-elect:
As you prepare for your inauguration and the beginning
of the new administration, I am writing to offer one suggestion for
the inaugural ceremonies themselves. The symbolic importance
of the inaugural ceremonies is, of course, very great and I believe
it should be exploited to the utmost in the interest of the goal to which
you have dedicated your presidency, bringing the American people
together.
I believe it would be a visible and notable contribution to
that end if Dr. J. H. Jackson were to appear on the inaugural plat-
*
form as one of the Protestant ministers in the proceedings. (I
have already spoken to Mark Trice about this possibility.) Not only
did Dr. Jackson support your candidacy, but, as President of the
six-million member National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc, his
presence during the inauguration would be a valued indication of your
desire to include Negro Americans in all phases of your administration.
In the midst of the countless details which are now absorbing
your attention, I hope you will be able to consider this suggestion as well.
With best personal wishes for your continued health and achievement,
I am,
Sincerely yours,
Edward & W. Brooke

you advise Mr. Nixon that he will be highly
honored to attend church with him in New York

Mr. Graham also requested I write you concern-
ing tickets for the Inaugural and wondered if
you could spare twenty. Mrs. Graham maintains
that twenty would be asking for too many and
suggests you send whatever you can spare!
I'll leave this in your capable hands.
Thank you SO much for all your kind assistance.

As you might expect, tickets for this ceremony are very dif-

a special request to Mr. Mark Trice of the Joint Inaugural
Committee for the 20 tickets for Mr. Graham. We may not be
able to get 20 seats, but please be assured we will have
standing room tickets to cover your request.
Please send me as soon as possible a list of the names of
people you're requesting tickets for.
I'll keep you advised.

Dear General Hester:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter
of November 18.
Your suggestions regarding a simple Inaugural
ceremony on January 20 have been directed to the wrong
office.
Although Richard M. Nixon is being inaugurated
President of the United States, he is not directing, nor
is his staff, the ceremonies and events taking place on
that day. The official swearing-in ceremonies taking
place at the Capital are under the direction of a Joint
Congressional Committee. The other inaugural events
gala, balls, etc., are conducted by a coalition of
Washington businessmen.
The Nixon staff has virtually no control over
these events.
Thanking you for your suggestions and your
interest, I am

Dear Bob:
During your absence from Springfield, I called and talked with
Norma, your secretary, about the selection of Loyola Academy's
band over Prospect High's band for participation in the inaugural
parade in Washington, Norma capably advised me of the bases for
the selection and sent me a copy of the press release.
In the meantime, objection has arisen locally because:
1. Loyola Academy refused to play at the Nucon rally
at Prospect High during November because of the partisan
nature of the evert
2. Prospect High's band performed very well and attracted
Nixon's attention by their extemporaneous chant "Nixon's
got that Oo-Aah!"
Dave Brown has written to Vic Smith concerning this matter, and
in response to Dave, I suggested that he not be concerned about
Loyola's selection, because what Prospe ct High really covets
is their designation as the official presidential band for this
area (Chicagoland), meeting the Presiden t whenever he comes to
town.
For your information, a few years ago, Whecling High School was
given this honor and still retains it (at least until Nixon is
inaugurated).
Considering that Wheeling Township (in which Prospect High, as
well as Wheeling High, is located) was the most productive township
or ward in Cook County for Nixon, and exceeded by only one or two
downstate counties, I should think Prospect High is deserving of
this consideration and designation.
Would you please give this some thought and lend your support?
I will appreciate very much receiving your reaction.
Sincerely,
Eugere F. Schlickma

Subject:
Inaugural Attire
With reference to your memo of December 16, I am glad
to tell you that we are just putting out a statement entitled "What
to Wear to the 1969 Inaugural Activities. 11 Prepared by Clement
Conger, formally Deputy Chief of Protocol in the Eisenhower-Nixon
Administration, he is now Protocol Assistant to the Inaugural Com-
mittee.
The dress suggestions fo each event have been cleared
with those running each event, except for the official inaugural cere-
mony, where we show for the Official Party what we understand
,
President Nixon will wear that day (with exceptions for variations
by other officials).
A "club coat" is defined as an oxford gray sack coat, single
breasted with peak lapels, suit length. In other words, it is very
similar to the jacket of a business suit but is more formally made
and cut, and is almost black in color.
A cutaway or tail coat is optional for those not wearing a
club coat. Many foreign ambassadors and members of Congress would
have cutaways from previous events. I would suggest that anyone wish-
ing to be fitted for a club coat will find Lewis & Thomas Saltz, 1409
G Street, N. W. as perhaps the best equipped in Washington. Mr. Steen
and Mr. Bechtold of Saltz have been working with Mr. Marriott and
Mr. Conger on proper attire for men for all events.

I was very sorry to have missed you the other evening.
As you may have heard, President Johnson instructed
his staff to host us at the White House following our Cabinet brief-
ing sessions.
As it turned out, that affair did not break up until after
eight o'clock, and I did not get back to the Shoreham until nearly
nine.
We are most interested in hearing the music that you
mentioned, and if you could forward the tape to me at the above
address, I will be sure that it gets a proper audition by the
decision-makers.
