Hon. Richard M. Nixon
523 West 6th Street
Los Angeles, California
Dear Mr. Vice President:
I am enclosing a copy of a sheet, although I auppose you have been sent
many copies. I have thought of writing you since your ill-advised appearance
following your defeat for the governorship.
I think that you have made many mistakes, but this was the worst. Scree
of the mistakes; namely:
Yielding to Ike's orders to subside your disclosures
regarding Harry Dexter White in the Chicago speech, 1954.
Assuming a role of middle-of-the-roader.
Supporting to an unnecessary degree Ike's tolerance of
Communism.
Selecting Lodge as running mate when Dirksen with his
great oratorical ability would surely have won for you
and other Vice Fresidential nominees would have probably
made you a winner.
Furnishing the prestige, for the debates with Kennedy
when the poll showed you to win with 56%.
Wearing the wrong color shirt in the first TV debate.
Stepping down to run for the governorship when you had
lost the Presidency by only a few thousand.
Reading the Conservatives and John Birch Society members
out of the Party.
Failing to accept the defeat for the governorship
gracefully.
1t was of great disservice to the Republican Party and the country as a
whole for you to attempt to bow out of public life, for the public opinion poll
then shows Rockefeller to be the overwhelming favorite for the nomination in '64.
William Jennings Bryan was defeated the third time and Dewey twice. Grover
Cleveland came back to win after defeated as an incumbent. Henry Clay, Daniel
Hon. Richard M. Nixon
January 24, 1963
Page 2
Webster and John C. Calhoun never attained the Presidency. This proves that a
statesman who has been in the public eye for as many years as you and defeated
for the Presidency by B. handful of votes while still a young man has tremendous
possibilities.
Alger Hiss served you well and has given you a chance to redeem yourself
from the series of mistakes enumerated,
You need only to sincerely apologize to the public for your outburst when
under high nervous tension, start again prosecuting Alger Hiss and all other
Communists or people in public life who are soft toward Communism.
You can soon attain B. stature which will at lease be profitable to you
and you can surely become a factor in the 1964 Hepublican National Convention.
If you fail to rebuild to the extend that you have a chance for Presidential
or Vice Presidential nomination, you can have something to say about who will
be the nominee and as a critic of dictatorship you could be of tremendous help
to the Republicana in their campaign for clection and select a top spot in the
Cabinet or Diplomatic Corps. It is impossible that you could throw away all
of the things which you have going for you in a temper outburst of B. few minutes
and Alger Hiss has saved you from having done 30.
With beat wishes,
Constructively,

Dear Mr. Nixon:
I saw the latter part of your appearance on the Jack Parr Show
last night. I was happy to find you looking and acting like a
changed person although I think you vere real wrong about DeGaulle.
Please remember that Adlai Stevenson was defeated twice and after
being nominated and defeated in consecutive campaigns had a real
good chance to get the Democratic nomination at the convention in
1960. Kennedy had to win on the first ballot, for after the first
ballot it would have been between Adlai Stevenson and Lyndon Johnson.
You are through only if you make of yourself a hasbean and I was
glad to hear you plan to be active in public affeira.
I am aending you the best copy I have aeen of the PROSPECT PLAN.
They have the diffarent areas in California taken care of with
DIRECTORS and have DIRECTORS in about 15 other states. If there ia
anyone you would recommend as a DIRECTOR as per the PROSPECT PLAN,
please write me and I will paes the information on without using your
name. Note the reference to the color of Nixon'a shirt - page 2,

RICHARD NIXON

Dear Mr. Hunt:
I read with interest your memorandum
with regard to the PROSPECT PLAN, Its emphasis
on scarching cut and encouraging attractive can-
didates for olvice could prove to be very effective
under proper direction. you may be sure I would
be glad to be kept advised 06 the progress 06 the
project.
You are certainly right, incidentally,
in your emphasis on the effect of television in
the metropolitan areas. Too many of the public
relations firms who handle political campaigns
are concerned only with buying television time jor
the candidate from which they receive a percentage
as a jee and too little interested in putting enough
of the campaign funds into television production,
technical advice. etc., for which chey generally do
not receive a jee.
ALSO, I sece it is vital that the pro-
duction personnel be selected by the candidate and
controlled by him rather than by the station which
is to carry the program. Too often the station
personnel are either not interested in the candidate's
success on, worse still, may be supporters of his
opporent. That is why it is essential that the
director, the producer, the Lighting man and the
- make-up man be selected by the candidate or his
manager and be absolutely Loyal Co him.
with every good wish,
sincerely,

Dear Mr. Nixon:
Needless to say I am elated at your appearance before the newspaper
editors in Washington. I find you listed on the front page and in
lead editorials everywhere. I think you can, and vill, do a great
deal of good in the cause of freedom and in contesting comminiam.
Along these lines, there 1a no doubt that you will be beard every
time you have anything to say.
I enclose clippings of a column which you will find interesting.
Billy Graham may be about to begin exerting the mighty force whlcb
is within his power in the cause of freedom. There vere evidences
of this in his last two Sunday night broadcasts.
If our country is to survive, everyone who loves it will have to do
everything he can.

MEMORANDUM
August 12, 1968
Through great eloquence and an enunciation of sound philosophies, Richard M. Nixon
in his acceptance speech won the November 5, 1968, election for himself and many con-
structive MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
He can lose it for himself and others through mistakes he has a tendency to make.
Several mistakes which will lose votes for Nixon and his supporters are listed below.
Some supporters should become his advisors in the decisions to be made during the en-
suing campaign. Some of these mistakes may lose only a few votes net, but inasmuch
as they do not have to be made, they should not be made.
1. Prior to his introduction, a gentleman, who was not an orator was described
as Nixon's Floor Leader, made a very tiresome and listless speech to extremely tired
delegates.
2. Governor Agnew who had previously made a great speech delivered a weak speech
through lack of preparation. This loss can be retrieved by Agnew later making great
speeches.
3. In the demonstration which followed his introduction, a very poor picture
of Nixon while smiling and mounted on a staff was "bobbing" up and down and sometimes
slightly sideways from vertical, which gave a very unfavorable presentation of Nixon
to a national audience of 40 million. This little mistake may have cost as few as
50,000 votes.
4. After Nixon decided on Agnew for the vice-presidency, there were trusted
friends of Nixon, who are statesmen, who could have formed into a committee which would
announce the choice by the Committee of Agnew for Vice-President, instead of Agnew be-
ing spoken of as the nominee's choice for Vice-President. This became a serious mis-
take when Agnew was not well received and was attacked. It would have been better for
the attack to be directed at the committee than at Nixon, the Nominee who has the task
of winning an election for himself and others.
5. Following his great acceptance speech, Nixon gave the reporters a perfect
reason why he would not answer questions until the next morning. He then made the
mistake of beginning to answer some questions and permitted a proposal, regarding
his making a trip to the Soviets, to be mentioned. This loss may be later retrieved.
6. Inasmuch as any promises he would get from the Communist leaders would not
be fulfilled and he would be accused of trying to interfere in the Paris Peace Talks,
the possibility of his making such a trip should have been avoided or precluded and
the possibility of a 200 thousand vote loss would have been avoided.
7. It was a mistake to make an estimate on the extent and mileage of the future
campaign. This can result in some areas feeling they are being slighted.
8. His acceptance of an invitation to Lyndon B. Johnson's ranch shocked the public.
This briefing could have been received in Washington at some time Nixon needed the attend-
ing publicity. Informed anti-communists will be appalled that Nixon was to be briefed
through Vance.
Four out of five who are asked to estimate the cost of this mistake will reply
"one million or more". Nixon will be accused of breaking promises to carry out a bi-
partisan policy regarding the war. Also, LBJ may make other political hay out of this
visit 10,30,60 or 80 days from now and he knows how to harvest.
It is a problem to list mistakes which have been made or may be made without doing
more harm than good. If the list reaches the opposition, Nixon's reputation can be
damaged and the Republican Party be defeated.
Constructive:
H. L. Hunt
REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN
August 13, 1968
The Kiplinger Letter, August 9th, Paragraph Three recites Nixon's biggest hurdle
as "image with voters". The image as loser can be handled by some widespread letter to
editor writers reciting "Nixon has lost two races for major offices, one by 16/100's of
one per cent, and has won five. "
Paragraph Four says Nixon is less likely to make "bonehead mistakes". The letter
is wrong in saying that "he comes over better in small groups. Nixon's acceptance
speech disproves this statement.
Nixon is reported to have accepted an offer to debate with Humphrey. This could
be nearly as bad a mistake as his offering to debate and did with President John F.
Kennedy. In that case he supplied Kennedy with a much larger audience than he could
have gotten during the next several weeks. Regarding Humphrey, Humphrey is having great
difficulty in commanding audiences and his debate with Humphrey would be a repeat of the
Kennedy debate fatality.
Nixon fares much better in making major addresses than he can in any debate. He
makes the mistake of extending courtesies to his opponents in debate. The extension of
these courtesies may seem an admission that he was previously wrong and desires to right
the wrong. Any debate in which Nixon enters could be a one, two or three million vote
loss.
Nixon's attitude regarding George Wallace should be decided correctly and all
Nixon's statements should follow the line decided upon. Wallace is a defector from the
Democratic Party and if Nixon does not discipline the Democrats' Defector, Wallace, it
is up to the Democrats to ão as best they can with the Defector. If Nixon continues to
show the statesmanship he displayed in his acceptance speech, then Wallace and Nixon's
statements may adhere quite closely.
Many thought early that Wallace would pull from the Democrats' total vote, but
it was more likely he would get the vote of the Democrats who would otherwise vote for
the Republican presidential nominee. Wallace will probably have 70 to 100 presidential
electors, although the votes for Wallace could change very fast. There is some squab-
bling between the Wallace leaders in some states.
None of the Republican candidates have anything to gain by antagonizing Wallace
nor by antagonizing voters who intend to vote for Wallace.
REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN
August 20, 1968
Nixon is quoted to the effect that his attitude will not be critical of the Communist
world and that he will maintain relations and a "dialogue" with the Communists, including
Red China. Nixon feels we have now reached an area of negotiations with the Reds.
It is hoped that Nixon will take a second look at the negotiations angle because he should
not join the Democrats on this issue. We have never negotiated anything away from the Com-
munists; we only negotiate what we will give to them trying to placate them. The thinking
public knows this and wants a government that will take a realistic look at the Communists.
It has been publicized that Nixon supporters are seeking five million dollars to run a
program to attract Democrats and independents to Nixon. All the money that can be raised
will be needed, but will do more harm than good if it results in making the people think an
attempt is being made to buy the Presidency. It is not necessary to publicize how a campaign
or a portion of a campaign is to be conducted. This robs a movement of the effectiveness of "
"surprise" and keeps the opposition posted.
Nixon should not speak of his appearance in the debate with Jack Kennedy. It is a re-
minder of a fatal mistake, and the public may dread other fatal mistakes he may make.
The campaign plan that Nixon's friends and enthusiasts contact twenty friends asking them
to contact twenty friends each to support Nixon is sound.
At a breakfast in Dallas, Nixon spoke to about forty admirers. In speaking he mentioned
Humphrey and McCarthy. He was not questioned about them, but volunteered the information that
he knew both of them well and they were good men. Probably as few as ten (10%) per cent
with those to whom he was speaking believed him and thought they were good men. If he had
nothing but good to say of them, he need not have them a part of his discussion. This is
an incident which discloses why Nixon is not effective in debating. He does not like to be
critical of the opposition. Eugene McCarthy apparently is much worse philosophically than he
is thought to be.
Nixon came into the limelight through being an anti-commonist. Nearly everyone now knows
Communism is our country's greatest enemy, and it will destroy our Republic if the trend of the
past twenty-five years is not reversed. Senator Joe McCarthy often said he would be a non-
entity except for his battle against Communism. It is not necessary for a statesman to be a
crank in order to be useful in opposing Communism as Nixon is outstanding as a non-communist.
He will be attacked bitterly by communists who are out numbered about 99 to 1.
Nixon is reported to be more concerned with his appearance than his information. He need
not mistrust his appearance as his appearance is uniformly good. At times he smiles con-
stantly and it might be that he would appear at a better advantage if he was more solemn when
there was nothing to be happy about.
Copies of a plan and a campaign gimmick are enclosed. No doubt these can be much
improved after they have found to be useful.
August 21, 1968
NIXON POLICIES
Nixon will announce and explain his party's policies instead of devoting his efforts to attack-
ing the Democratic Party and candidates. He will enlist Asiatics to join in the war against
aggression in South Vietnam.
VIET NAM: The United States must wage a de-Americanized war that will discourage Communist
aggression not only in Viet Nam but throughout the free world, and result in an honorable and
lasting peace. The objectives justifying our sacrifices and involvement must include a freely-
elected South Vietnamese government and a population secure from terrorism.
FOREIGN POLICY: The United States must continue to be a leader for freedom in the world and a
catalyst in the international market places, but it must insist that the rest of the free
world assume some of the responsibilities for defending against Communism.
LAW AND ORDER: Order based on respect for the law is the cornerstone of a free society and
can only be achieved through recognition of the fact that criminals must be held accountable
for their crimes. The emphasis must be placed on protecting members of society from the
criminals, rather than protecting criminals from society.
RIOTS: Violence will not be tolerated and any action by State or local authorities to quell
civil disorder will be supported. Attention must be given to alleviating the complex causes
of riots.
CRIME: We must pledge an active war on crime and our new Attorney General will lead the assault
on such evils as the loan-shark racket and the "numbers" racket now robbing the urban poor and
bleeding our Republic's wealth which is badly needed for more noble purposes.
TRADING WITH THE ENEMY: United States businessmen, as well as our allies, must be discouraged
from giving aid and comfort to our Communist enemies through trade of "non-defense" goods.
This should include those East European countries many feel have a "more acceptable" form of
Communism.
POVERTY AND WELFARE: So that the truly poor people in our country, those who cannot help
themselves, can be generously provided for, we must increase the wealth of America. For those
who can help themselves, we must revise present poverty and welfare programs which erode self-
respect and discourage responsibility and put more of those who are now on welfare rolls on
industrial payrolls.
OVERSEAS TROOP COMMITMENTS: The U. S. forces in non-combat areas should be brought home as an
economic and strategic move, reducing the gold drain and providing a more fluid military
structure.
TAXES AND SPENDING: Republican leadership will restore fiscal responsibility and sound monetary
policies and encourage a sustained economic growth. Priority attention will be given tax
reform and simplification, new management of the national debt and a reduction of the debt's
heavy interest rates, and an elimination of federal competition with private enterprise.
FOREIGN AID: The amount of foreign aid must be drastically reduced, assisting only in the
most minor way those who are really our allies, and then only when no alternative is evident.
Foreign aid must reach the people in need, avoiding despots and demagogues who would divert
the aid for their own benefit.
MILITARY SERVICE: The Selective Service policies must be revised to reduce the number of years
a young man is liable for the draft. During times when the need for military manpower is low,
the Selective Service System will be placed on standby and a voluntary force, with higher wages,
will be substituted.
CITIES: We must harness the creativity of personal enterprise through systems of tax
incentives and government encouragement, along with federal policies enabling local communities
to contend with local problems in order to rescue our great urban centers from decay and
destruction.
August 27, 1968
It could be far more statesmanlike if the candidate for President would not publicly announce
forecasts regarding the outcome of political action in certain areas nor forecast the trends
which would result from particular policies and activities. The voters are likely to prefer
to do their own forecasting and there is always the danger that the candidate may be wrong in
his forcast, which the voters would hold against him.
Continuous publicity concerning Nixon taking time off to relax, swim, fish, boat, etc., can
lose votes during the campaign. The public are more likely to admire a statesman who is a
good worker and is constantly trying to save Republic U. S. A. It is fine for a President
and Vice-President to relax, but he need not publicize his leisure.
The Lou Harris Poll, August 26th, shows citizens giving Humphrey the most appeal for "coming
up the hard way". Nixon's humble origin is far more impressive than Humphrey's. The Humphrey
family had a business while Nixon's family had little more than a meager income.
The Gallup Poll, August 26th, found Nixon could better handle the war than Humphrey 54% to 27%
and "voters by nearly a two-to-one margin believe the Republicans are more likely to keep the
United States out of World War III than the Democrats.
The public and the many officials of the U. S. A. and foreign countries might have apprec-
iated it if Presidents Eisenhower and Johnson would have been available more of the time in the
White House and Washington, D. C., attending to the nations' important affairs than to have to
seek them for a conference at a country club, a resort or at a distant ranch. Our nation might
function more successfully with a President who is on the job. The White House could be operated
in a way that it affords more personal safety for the head of government than anywhere else he
could be.
Should the Democrats have had a real good chance to defeat Nixon up to the first night of
their convention, August 26, they may have thrown away their chance in their remarkably poor
performance the opening night. They permitted several incidents to develop, one after another,
each of which would cost their national ticket several 100,000 votes. The Democratic Convention
at Chicago was a pitiful series of costly blunders as compared with the Republican Convention
at Miami Beach.
For many years the American Democratic Action activities and ratings have been a badge of dis-
honor as far as the cause of freedom is concerned. The higher the ADA rating of a Member of
Congress the farther he is removed from statesmanship. The three Rhodes' scholars in Congress
Senator J. W. Fulbright of Arkansas, ADA 38, has the highest ADA rating of any Member of Congress
from Arkansas; Carl Albert, Democratic Leader of the House from Oklahoma has the highest ADA
rating 73 of any MC of Oklahoma; and John Brademas' ADA rating is tied with Congressman Madden
for the highest ADA rating from Indiana.
Assuming that high ADA ratings are bad, the attached sheet discloses that among the Congressmen
from outside the eleven Southern states, the ADA rating of Republicans average 18 and of Demo-
crats average 74. A coincidence is that there are 163 Congressmen from each party in this list.
September 4, 1968
MEMO
Republican hopefuls may take into their reckoning the respects paid by a columnist to the
Eisenhower-Nixon Administration.
In his acceptance speech in Miami, Richard Nixon said: "I am proud to have served in an
administration which ended one war and kept the nation out of other wars for eight years
"
"I see a day when the President of the United States is respected and his office is honored
because it is worthy of respect and worthy of honor.
The columnist states, "It was during the Eisenhower-Nixon administration that the American
flag, American citizens, American officials, and American property becamse the objects of hatred
and the victims of mob violence throughout the world." He continues, "Early in the month of
May, 1958, President Eisenhower pleaded with Congress not to cut his requests for foreign aid,
saying he 'shuddered' to think what would happen to the United States if Congress made reductions-
asserting that our foreign aid programs had 'forged a free world shield against communist force.
At about the same time, Vice President Nixon started on a good-will tour through South America,
to tighten the bonds of friendship that had been forged by American tax dollars.'
"On May 12, a mob smashed through 2 police guard outside a U.S.I.A. library in Beirut,
Lebanon. The rioters threw books and furniture into the street and burned them--then set fire
to the interior of the library.
"At 11:00 a.m. on May 13, 1958, Vice President and Mrs. Nixon arrived at Caracas, Venezuela.
There were about 3,000 people at the airport. They made so much noise, jeering and cat-calling,
that Nixon could not make his 'arrival' speech. One man spat in Mrs. Nixon's face. People spat
upon the cars, pelted them with rocks and garbage, ripped off American flags. The windows of
Nixon's car were smashed. Everyone inside was showered with splintered glass."
"The Vice President had been heckled by students in Uruguay, booed by mobs in Bolivia,
derided and picketed by students in Colombia, shouted down during a meeting with the Buenos
Aires University Federation in Argentina."
"Richard Nixon now professes indignation about foreign insults to our flag; but 10 years
ago he could not be moved to anger against the foreign hoodlums who humiliated him, his wife,
and his country. Instead (after his return to Washington from that 'wonderful trip' in May,
1958), he blamed his own State Department for not forewarning him about the intense anti-
American feeling in Latin America. He implied that the United States deserved such degrading
treatment, when he said we should reappraise our policy toward Latin America. In a sense he
was right. The South American hoodlums displayed utter contempt for us, because, for 13 years,
our government (under the Democrat and Republican administrations of Truman and Eisenhower),
fearful of 'standing alone in the world,' had been taxing its own people for foreign aid intended
to buy friends; had been permitting itself to be blackmailed by nations living on our dole; had
been behaving as if Americans were a fat and degenerate people who would put up with anything
rather than defend their own honor.'
"Nixon and his platform asserted that the Eisenhower-Nixon administration ended our war with
North Korea. The fact that we still have a, large military force in South Korea, and the fact that
the shameful PUEBLO affair is only one of many shameful North Korean communist affronts we have
endured, indicate that the Eisenhower-Nixon team never really ended. the Korean war, and that the
fourth-rate military power of North Korea is still the aggressor, while mighty America is still on
the defensive."
The above are only a few excerpts from this column.
September 4, 1968
MEMORANDUM
I feel assured that Nixon will be elected. The next most important step for Republicans
to make is to insure their capturing a majority in the House of Representatives. This mailing
is being made to only eight (8) Republican stalwarts who are in the best position to plan for
the election of Republican Congressmen.
A gain in the House could become a permanent gain and would help take care of the situa-
tion, should Nixon fail to deliver a constructive administration.
The Republicans should have a good chance to elect a congressman in every Congressional
District which Wallace carries, if the American Party has no candidate.
Constructively,
H. L. Hunt
A most important result of this year's elections will be the composition of the Senate
and the House of Representatives in the new Congress. The need for a constructive Congress
has never been more critical. Regardless of the outcome of the Presidential race, the nature
of the new Congress will be a key factor in the crucial months which follow--the period in
which the course of this nation will be changed, for better or for worse.
If the best of the Presidential candidates is elected, then a constructive Congress
will be needed, to enact into law the reforms necessary to right the course of our ship of
State. And if the worst possible candidate somehow wins the Chief Executive's seat, the
role of the new Congress will be even more momentous. With a President committed to the
same disastrous policies and programs of the past four decades, only a wise, judicious, and
courageous Congress can save the Constitution and the Republic from utter destruction.
It is obvious that a change on Capitol Hill will check the rampant, unconstitutional
course of the Executive. The change needed is a Republican majority in the House, where
appropriations originate.
A Republican Congress should be just as important to the voters who support Mr. Wallace
as it is to those who support Mr. Nixon. The voting records of the last several Congresses--
by any index you choose, ADA, ACA, or otherwise--show that Republican members of the House
and Senate have stood for constitutional government far above their colleagues across the
aisles. If the wrongs of the past are to be righted, then the constructive element of both
houses must be expanded. Neither Nixon nor Wallace can work effectively with the Congress
which is responsible for our present problems, in trying to cure these ills.
Wallace supporters throughout the nation should take notice that Republican congress-
men have been more constructive than Democratic congressmen. In any pro-Wallace congressional
district, a campaign for Republican congressional candidates would increase the margin of
Wallace for President.
Only with a majority can the Republicans take over the chairmanships of the important
congressional committees--chairs which have so long been occupied by Establishment hacks
and party-liners. To cite some examples: the Banking and Currency committees have been
chaired by Wright Patman in the House and John Sparkman in the Senate, with results that
have ruined our dollar and our coins, while interest rates have soared. J. William Fulbright
chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; his activities since entering Congress have
not been very well understood, even by his colleagues in the Senate. The Senate Labor and
Public Welfare Committee is chaired by Lister Hill; Mike Monroney sits at the head of the
Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee, which has been by far the biggest dispenser
of political patronage in buying off opposition to Establishment policies and programs. Such
radicals as Adam Clayton Powell and Emanuel Cellar have held control of the House committees
on Education and Labor and on the Judiciary, respectively. Edwin Willis has presided over
the House Committee on Un-American Activities while Communists and New Left militants have
destroyed American cities and occupied college campuses, but Mr. Willis caused the committee
to publish very little on such activities. On the other hand, a Republican member of the
Committee on Un-American Activities, Rep. John Ashbrook, has been very outspoken on the
subject and has entered findings of the committee's investigators in the Congressional Record.
With a Republican majority, Rep. Ashbrook would take over the chairmanship of the committee,
and the public could expect the full committee to get on with the business of holding hear-
ings and informing the people of the United States on just who is behind the disorder and
treasonous conduct in this country. The Republic has recognized that change is needed.
It is up to the voters. Do you want a Congress which is worthy of the name? Do you
want a government with the safeguards inherent in our constitutional three-branch system?
Or do you wish to leave a radical Judiciary and a powerful Executive unchecked by restraint
from the legislative branch?
If you favor a course of constructive change, then--regardless of your choice for
President--you should support Republican candidates for Congress, other qualifications
being equal.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Nixon:
helit
and
This is an urgent invitation for you to become associated with the
National Presbyterian Church during your Presidency.
with
From across the country messages come expressing the hope you
will take up where the Eisenhowers left off with an emphatic religious accent
in the mainstream of the Christian faith identified specifically with the National
Presbyterian Church. Without in any way forsaking your Quaker allegiance,
mindful also of Mrs. Nixon's earlier California relationship to a Community
Church, and in view of the changed leadership in Wasbington churches since
you lived here, people feel it will be most appropriate for you to be associated
with ua in the Church whose great new Chapel, the Chapel of the Presidents,
is a tribute to Dwight David Eisenhower, where prayers will be offered daily
for the President.
We were happy that you were present when General Eisenhower laid
the Cornerstone of the new Church, and we cherish your further association
with this congregation now as we approach the Dedication and the years which
unfold before ns. This is a truly national Church with service to all people.
So many of the things we represent synchronize with the things for which you
stand.
Moreover, there are many personal reasons why I would deem it
both a high honor as well aa a natural role to be of service to you - our common
California backgrounds, many years of neighborly living in Wesley Heights,
our children's school days, the Eisenhower years with all the close associations
of family and staff, and the fact we have known you longer than any of today's
active Washington pastors.
I was pleased to know you attended my former Church iu La Jolla
after the Convention and that last Sunday you worshipped with my friends in the
Presbyterian Church of Key Biscayne.

Dr. Billy Graham and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale both have expressed
the hope you would be related to the National Presbyterian Church, Since Dr.
Edward Latch has retired from the pastorate of the Metropolitan Methodist
Church here, I am confident he also would encourage your future identification
with the National Presbyterian Church.
The Ministers and officers of this Churcb will welcome you most
heartily. Mrs. Elson and the family join me in hearty congratulations,
affectionate personal regards, and the assurance of our prayera.

Dear Mr. President-Elect:
Ruth and I were terribly pleased laat night to receive a telephone
call from Miss Rose Mary Woods, kindly inviting us on your hehalf
to attend the cheater with you this evening, Wednesday, November 13.
We were both very disappointed that we could not accept your kind
invitation, due to a apeaking engagement which I have tonight In
Albany, New York, It was very kind and gracious of you to think
of us, and we would have tboroughly enjoyed an evening with you
both.
Due mutual friend, Dr. Edward L. R. Elson, Minister of the great
National Presbyterian Church in Washington, 15 very hopeful that
you will worship at their church when you move to the capital
city. You may recall that President Eisenhower was a regular com-
municant of this church, and I think that you and Mrs. Nixon have
worshiped there occasionally.
Dr. Elson is a great Friend of mine, 3 great preacher and an
inspirational pastor,
Naturally, I hope you will spend much time in New York and vill
worship with us whenever you have opportunity.
Affectionate regards to the entire family. May God bless you
all.
Cordially youra,

Jim Keogh has expressed some concern that there is not much
hope of his establishing coordination and order in the preparation
of statements, speeches, messages, etc. unless all requests are
made through him and delivered back by him.
Apparently there has been some problem because Ehrlichman has
sent assignments to Safire and Chapin has sent them to Buchanan
and Price, and Keogh is left in the middle not knowing what is
going on. As Jim pointed out, this caused some problems at
times during the campaign and we should not let it get in our way
as we start on the White House venture.
Will you be sure, therefore, to direct all such requests to Jim
Keogh and let him apportion them out to the rest of the crew.
If you have a specific individual to whom the assignment should
be given, you should, of course, indicate this to Keogh, and I am
sure he will accommodate your request whenever possible.
Thanks very much for your help. I agree with Jim that unless
we now establish a clear line of communication, our goal of order
and coordination will be defeated. I am sure none of us wants
this to happen.

RN, yesterday, In thinking about the Urban Affairs Council, came
up with the feeling that Commerce, because of the alliance of business-
men and labor, and because of its manpower responsibilities, should
be included in the Urban Affaire Council. He also questions whether
Agriculture should not be included on the grounds, firet, that many of
the urban problems arise from rural problems and, second, that the
incoming Secretary of Agriculture is a man who as an individual would
be a valuable addition to the Council.
Also, RN would like you to set up plans for & meeting of the Urban
Affairs Council prior to the 20th, As you may know, he is planning
to meet with the National Security Council in late December, and I
would suggest you shoot for an Urban Affaire Council meeting early
in the week prior to inauguration. He wants you, of course, to work
out an agenda so that it will be 6 productive meeting.
