MEMORANDUM TO: Ken Cole
FROM: Larry Higby
SUBJECT: Key Biscayne
To confirm our conversation earlier today,
RN will be staying at Senator Smathers home at Key Bis-
cayne during the end of the month rest period. As of
now, he will arrive sometime on the afternoon of the
27th and will depart on the 30th. As we did in Santa
Barbara, you should make the necessary arrangements to
fly Manolo there a day or so early to make sure every-
thing is in order.
Concerning telephones, the following arrange-
ments should be made:
In Senator Smather's home and in Bebe Rebozo's
home please instruct your people to install one telephone
containing 2 private lines. The lines that run to the
Senator's home and those to Bebe Rebozo's home should be
set up so that they will ring simultaneously at both
places. is. they should be the same liner at both location
At the Key Biscayne Hotel, please hold RN's
villa and install in it 3 phones with 3 PL's in rotation.
They should have extremely long cords and not ring in the
villa.
Please hold Villa 39 or 40 for Bob Haldeman and
Dwight Chapin. In their villa, please install 2 instruments
that contain the same lines that are installed in RN's villa.
In addition, there should be an intercom between
RN's villa and the Haldeman-Chapin villa. The Haldeman-Cha-
pin phones should also be on extremely long cords.
Concerning cars, Manolo, Haldeman and Chapin should
each have a car. We're not sure yet just who will be going
to Key Biscayne and therefore can't make any other assignments
at this time.
For details concerning the Smathers home, contact
Bebe Rebozo and he will fill you in.
Regards from sunny Cleveland.

HOLTEN FEEL This why RN
Heprobally rememisers NOT This
Dear Dick:
HOT ON NOR FOOK
John Whitaker has told me that you probably prefer Richmond,
rather than Norfolk, for one of your appearances in Virginia.
I consider Norfolk a must because:
1. You need to gain some affirmative votes in Virginia
somewhere, because the split caused by the Wallace candidacy
could cause you to end up with less than Humphrey's block of
Regro-Regular Democrat votes.
2. It's going to be extremely difficult for you to gain
anything in Richmond; you can't make a pitch there for Negro
vote, and your previous appearances there will produce a maximum
vote for you there without another visit.
3. You can gain substantially in Norfolk. Your vote there in 1960
was only 40% of the total vote, which leaves room for improvement.
They are now very friendly to you, as evidenced by the 700 people
who paid to have breakfast with you there in 1965. There has
since been a very serious split in the Democratic Party, all of
which benefits you.
4. They have an excellent meeting place, in the open air,
within two and one-half blocks of all of the big downtown con-
centration of people. A noontime appearance, barring bad weather,
would draw a tremendous crowd.
5. There is greater television coverage, to a larger metro-
politan area, in Norfolk than in Richmond.
6. The Negro votes are much better organized in Richmond,
SO the possibility (though slight) of any adverse demonstrations
would be greater in Richmond than in Norfolk.
Honorable Richard M. Nixon

7. The whole "establishment" in Norfolk is anxious to
move heaven and earth for you. I observed this there on a
visit yesterday which put me in touch with substantially all
of the top leadership.
Best regards.
Cordially Lin yours,

Memo to: Peter Flanigan
From: Bob Haldeman
The attached letter from the Baldwin Company is
self-explanatory. It is my understanding that
you will contact Archbishop Cook to determine
where he would like the organ delivered and will
then contact Mr. Mooter to give him the proper
instructions.
After this is done, a letter for RN's signature
should be drafted and sent to Lucien Wulsin,
President of Baldwin, thanking him for the organ
and telling him where we are sending it.
Thanks very much for handling this.

Dear Bob,
It was fine secing you yesterday in Chinatown at the Nixon parade there.
The parade and reception looked good and save for a few hippie types in the
crowd, the audience was very enthusiastic.
I've always been a bit embarrassed about my poor performance when I worked
briefly for the Nixon governor cempaign in 1960 but I have never wavered
in my support for him or his principles. I guess I never should have taken
the job of asst. news secretary in the first place. After being 2 reporter
and political reporter for about 6 years, it was impossible for me to turn
full circle and become a political aide.
For the past LL years I've been teaching here at USC in the journalism
school. We'd certainly like to get Nixon on campus senstime before Nov. 1.00
I'm a member of the faculty forum which decides who speaks to the students.
Could you please pass this on to your scheduling ffice?
If there is anything Icean do to help you at USC please let me know.
Sincerely,
Dane

Re:
Counter Attack
DETERMINED TO BE AN
ADMINISTRATIVE MARKING
E.O. 12356, Section 1.1
By RJP NARS, Date
4/6/87
VENFIDENTIAL
When you come back and take over the day to
day supervision of the counter-attack operation
RN also wants to be sure that you put major em-
phasis also on the area of television, having
shmeone monitowrradio and television, especially
the networks and be sure that we are responding
to both good and bad treatment and that we're
doing it right after it happens.
Pat Hitt has set up some operation in this area;
Herb Klein has been involved in it, and I understand
there has been some effort towards Catizens act@vities
in this direction but in reviewing it, thwre is
no coordination or thought-through plan.
RN also would like from you a weekly report at
the end of each week, summarizing the general
activity of the counter-attack operation. That is,
a run-down on who has answered whom about what,
and when.
He feels it is important for him to be currently
aware of counter-attack activity because there will
obviously be some times when he should also get into
the act, although it is his thought that at present
at least, this should be kept to a minimum.
Needless to say, he at the present time, puts the
highest priority on this particular actovity and
hopes that you will devote the necessary time and
attention to it to make sure that the people assigned
really produce.
As one last thought, our friend suggested the phrase,
"Slap Happy Hubert" as being one that might be
helpful. Handle that as you will.
P.S.
RN also suggested that you might be able to effectively
use Earl Mazo or Ralph DeToledano to prepare material
for use by the people engaged in counter-attack. It's
my understanding that Ralph is working on a book,
and not available full time, but perhaps he could
help from time to time from his home. Earl could
probably be brought to New York and based right
here in the office to handle this, if you wanted him
to do it.

Honorable Richard Nixon
450 Park Avenue
New York, New York 10022
From 9/17/250PM Whitaker
Dear Dick:
9/18
I am writing you this letter, Dick, with regard to your schedule
and the implication reaching me to the effect that you have completed
your scheduling of appearances through the 27th of September and have
given no indication that it will be possible for you to make a noon airport
stop in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
This is to urge you to seriously reconsider your position on
stopping in South Dakota, especially in Sioux Falls, for a noon airport
stop with a parade and then leaving you with the opportunity to proceed
to one of the other states for an evening engagement.
There are several reasons, which I am going to list below, why
I believe you should make every effort to include South Dakota on your
list of states for a campaign visit in the coming weeks.
(1) Vice President Humphrey is speaking in South Dakota on
September 19 to the Western Power and Water Conference. He will have
a wide listening audience from REA and farm groups at this conference,
and this will give him an opportunity to expose himself on his farm
policy as well as to emphasize the fact that he is a South Dakota native
and that South Dakota should support his candidacy.
(2) We have a very difficult Senate race in South Dakota, as you
know. Archie Gubbrud, who chaired the Nixon delegation to the National
Convention which supported you 100 percent, is engaged in a very close
and tough fight with the incumbent Democrat, George McGovern. Your
appearance could make the difference between victory and defeat.
(3) Ao I understand it, you have indicated that you thought I
could handle the carrying of the State of South Dakota for your candidacy.
May I say that I am deeply humbled by your confidence in my vote-getting
ability for you in the coming election. However, with Congress in session
Honorable Richard Nixon
-2.
September 10, 1968
until mid-October or later and with the assignment that I have to spend
some time on the Truth Squad and with any other engagements that may
come up for me, I find my time is going to be limited in what I can do
in South Dakota, Therefore, Dick, it is going to be almost impossible
for me to make a complete tour of the State in behalf of your election
to the Presidency, and this I believe implements the need for you to
make a noon-time stop in Sioux Falls where you can get wide television
and press coverage not only of South Dakota but also of Minnesota,
(4) Archie Gubbrud has been campaigning with the fact that he
can work closely with you as a sitting Senator and do more for South
Dakota than can George McGovern who is a Democrat and who opposed
the nomination of Humphrey. If you do not come and support his can-
didacy, based on this campaign fact and also the fact that he chaired
your delegation, it is going to be embarrassing for him.
Further, Dick, in view of the fact that it is known all over
South Dakota of my close relationship with you, that I have worked with
you in previous campaigns, that we have been close friends for many
years, and that I am serving as your advisor in agriculture and natural
resources, it is going to be difficult for me to explain to the Republican
hierarchy and workers in South Dakota the fact that you missed our
State in your campaign effort. 1 recognize that we have very few
electoral votes, but 1 do not believe you can completely eliminate the
{casibility of campaigning in Midwest states where there are difficult
Senate races. After all, we need the seats in the Senate if we are going
to implement the program which you hope to place in effect once you
are firmly installed in the White House come next January 20, and I am
completely convinced you will be the victor. We are not asking much -
only a mid-day stop and, if possible, A noon-time stop at Sioux Falls
with a parade down the main street and is speech, and then you can be
on your way. We realize that we cannot ask for your time in any evening
rally. In Sioux Falls we can give you statewide television coverage,
statewide radio coverage, and statewide press coverage. Also, in
Sioux Falls you will be in the heart of the most heavily populated area
of South Dakota. Further, the television coverage from Sioux Falls
goes into southern Minnesota and into lowa. Thus, you have the advan-
tage of speaking to an audience of more than one state.
1 cannot emphasize too strongly the fact that since Hubert Humphrey
was born in South Dakota and still owns the family drug store in Huron,
there is a growing and disconcerting tendency on the part of many South
Dakotans to let "State Pride" overcome their political impulses just as in
Honorable Richard Nixon
-3-
September 10, 1968
the case of his adopted state of Minnesota, Furthermore, the Minneapolis
newspapers which support Hubert Humphrey blanket most of our State
every day.
I also note you are making a stop in North Dakota. Because of
the rivalry between the sister states of the two Dakotas, this is causing
resentment among some political leaders at the county level. They know
North Dakota does not have a tough Senate race and South Dakota does.
They know South Dakota gave you 11 delegates at the Convention and
North Dakota only gave you 5 or b. Further, they feel they held firm
against the flirtations by Rockcfeller and Reagan, but now you go clse-
where and campaign among those who succumbed to the flirtations.
Therefore, Dick, 1 hope you will give serious consideration to
this request for an appearance in Sioux Falls when you next meet to
arrange the continuation of your schedule after September 27. We are
100 percent for you, but we also need you to instill in our workers the
need for walking the precincts in piling up the majority of votes we need
to give you the victory you scek come next November and the Republican
Senate seat to give us the workable majority we need in the Senate.
With best wishes and kindest regards, I am
Cordially yours,

Dear Bob:
I stopped by the Hilton-Plaza in Miami while I was there
with the California Delegation Staff, but understandably,
you were a little busy! I did leave you a note at the
suggestion of your assistant, but knowing how much of my
mail got lost at the Deauville, I am wondering if you
received it.
As you may recall, we had a most pleasant relationship
during the 1962 Nixon Campaign when I started the Podiatrists
for Nixon Committee. (I started a similar national committee
in 1960 for Mr. Nixon, also.)
Dr. Robert J Hughes (1592 North D Street, San Bernardino,
California) and I would like to be named Co-Chairman of the
1968 National Committee of Podiatrists for Nixon. As soon as
we hear from you, we will get going on it.
I do hope you and I can get together for a brief moment the
next time you are in San Francisco.
Here's to a Total Victory In 1968!
Kindest personal regards,
Bob Johns

Dear Dick:
I was glad to hear from you again. Hope your trip
to Europe was as enjoyable as the one my wife and I had
there last year. Hugh has assumed the duties of Office
Manager in Los Angeles and you are correct in contacting
him concerning the position we discussed.
Most of the staff roles for the campaign have been
filled. However, should you be interested in working in the
Southern California area I suggest you contact Mr. A1 Harutu-
nian or Mr. Bob Nesen at the Nixon headquarters in Los An-
geles. They should be able to provide you with ample oppor-
tunities to work.
Here's to your continued success.
Cordially,

Dear Mr. Haldeman,
When T spoke to Miss Fulton at the Thompson office today, T was quite
surprised to learn that you have taken a leave of absence from the
agency. Understandably though, I realize how impossible it would be
to maintain the two posts simultaneously.
Just as a matter of note, I am attempting to contact Mr. Hugh Sutherland
to ascertain the status of the Operations Manager position which we
discussed last January before I left for Europe.
On the chance that this letter will reach you early enough to be of any
value, I would sincerely like to offer my services to you and the Nixon
campaign. I am quite anxious to see a Nixon victory this year and would
like in some way to contribute whatever I can.
Although I have no idea what type of capacity might need fulfilling, I
believe that I could be of great value in a number of administrative or
supervisory areas. At any rate I am vitally interested in hearing of
any opportunities and offering my assistance.
Good luck and I hope to see you again sometime in the near future.
Cordially,

By RJP NARS, Date 4/6/87
CONFIDENTIAL
September 5, 1968
MEMORANDUM
TO:
Peter Flanigan
FROM:
Bob Haldeman
RN asked that I summarize some of his thoughts
regarding the campaign -- and transmit them to you in this form with
the request that you make every effort to implement them within your
areas of contact or responsibility -- as quickly and as thoroughly as
you can.
As we begin the first week of the campaign, it is
essential that we maintain the initiative. This will be primarily the
role of the candidate but now is the time for everybody in our organi-
zation -- including Surrogates --- other speakers and top staff who talk
to press as well as politicos who talk to State and County Chairmen
across the country - to have the line and put it out as effectively as
possible. Among the points that should be made are the following:
1. The Come-Back Theme: This has an immense
appeal and RN does not believe it has adequately been covered in columns
or the press. Find ways to get it out - pointing up the obvious, that RN
accomplished this despite the overwhelming opposition of the financial
establishment and the press establishment and without huge financial
resources, PR gimmicks, etc.
2. The Calibre of the Nixon Team: This gives us
the opportunity to point up the superb RN pre-Convention organization,
that it has high intellectual quality, great morale and great loyalty. It
will be recalled that one of Johnson's weaknesses is that very few people
on his staff are really loyal to him, due to his personal abuse of them.
Appparently HHH has real staff problems, too.
3. The Youth of the RN Organization: Because we have
such an outstanding group of young staff members in very key positions -
this story should be easily and effectively promoted. Perhaps by emphasizing
average age of Nixon staff, or the number of key men under 30, under 40 --
or whatever such statistics might be most telling. Also individual or group
features on the young stars of the team, i.e., Buchanan, Price, Anderson,
Bell, Gavin, Hart, etc., in R & W; Chapin, Ziegler, Higby, Allan Woods,
- 2 -
etc., in tour operations; the young crew working with Mitchell, Flanigan,
et al; and all the young people in the Citizens Operation.
4. The Immense Effect of the RN Acceptance Speech:
It probably had a greater effect in shifting votes than any acceptance speech
in the last 25 years. Several have suggested that the story that RN prepared
the speech on his own, and did not "try it out" or reveal any of the content
to anybody except his secretary, simply hasn't gotten across. This is a
very impressive story to the average person who suspects that all
politicians are simply parrotting the lines their ghosts have written for
them. This story should be gotten out broadly. Perhaps one way to bring
this off is that when we reprint copies of the Acceptance Speech to distribute
to people, a brief paragraph at the outset point out how it was prepared and
also the immense effect that it had. Although many will say that we shouldn't
build on events of the past, let us not forget that Kennedy made mountains
of yardage during the first two years of his Presidency by referring to his
Inaugural Address and having the press do likewise. Our people have not
yet done an adequate job in this respect as far as this speech is concerned.
5. RN as Party Unifier: Even several of the less
favorable press men pointed out that the week when we were at Mission Bay
plus the swing to the major states was probably one of the major political
stories of our time and would have been covered as such had the Czech
Revolution not occurred in the same period. This story should be repeated
over and over again properly embellished pointing out that RN fights
hard but then is able to unify and bring the best men into the final organiza-
tion. This will also give a good impression as to how RN will handle the
Presidency once the battle is over.
6. RN, "the man for the times. ": Perhaps most
important of all - there should be emphasis on RN, "the man for the times. "
The Churchill analogy is probably appropriate. Churchill was "in the
wilderness" as he put it during the '30s but was called back to lead his
country in a period of crisis. What we must do is to knock down the idea
that : by manipulation and because of political debts that were due RN, he
was able to get the nomination. We've got to point out that he won the
nomination because of his own strength and not just because of the weakness
and confusion of his opponents.
In summary, one weakness of our campaign in the past
has been the tendency of our entire staff, and most of our supporters,
simply to rely on RN's speeches and activities for our campaign success.
We are doing better this time than we have previously, but we can take a
leaf out of the Kennedy book and recognize that at least 50% of the credit
for his win in 1960 and also for his immensely good press after the 1960
election was due to the fact that his staff and friends were constantly
running their own campaigns in his behalf, and not just waiting for him to
carry the ball. This must be done at all levels -- on the campaign plane,
from the Citizens group in Washington and from the Campaign Headquarters
in New York as well as by all of our state and local leaders.
- 3 -
Of vital importance is the point that we must play
the confident line from now until November, regardless of what
developments occur. We are on the offensive and we must stay on the
offensive. The Democrats are demoralized, and we must keep them
demoralized. We should exude confidence, not cockiness, indicating
that we're going to run an all-out campaign and pour it on, but that we
do SO knowing that we are ahead and that we plan to stay ahead and
extend our lead so that we can elect a Republican House and a lot of
Republican Senators as well. It is important that all of our major
speakers take this line, and particularly important, that those who
are on the plane and talking with the press, and the local politicos
exude it. It is also important that those who have contact with RN
take this line and not come in with long faces any time something goes
wrong.

c/o H. Robert Haldeman
The Republican Party
Dear Mr. Nixon:
We need you. And we want you to be elected. Would you consider
a suggestion from a "pro" in the communications business?
In your television appearances, be careful, fellow Republican,
that you do not "orate". Let Hubert indulge in the treacly
sentimentality and the over-dramatic histrionics. He may emote
himself into oblivion.
When feasible, speak conversationally, approximating the easy
manner you show in your ad lib interviews. The television
cameras and microphones pick up every nuance of your expression --
even a whisper and bring it into our living rooms.
Remember, in an address to a large audience, that is also
televised, the human tendency is to raise one's voice to reach
"those people in the back row". Resist excessive raising of
voice volume. It can make one sound tense and "uptight"
and
conviction is lost.
So stay "loose", keep it conversational. You'll be welcomed in
our homes -- not as a politician "making a speech" -- but as a
fellow human interested in our problems.
Sincerely,
Henry Hoople

regarding ways in which you can be of help.
If you don't hear, please go ahead and get to work

Thanks very much for your offer of help and give my

FROM:

SUBJECT: RN Thank yous for convention effort
Re: your memo of August 16th requesting names of convention
helpers for thank you notes.
I'm sorry it has taken so long to respond but, as you know,
I've spent the last 10 days covering the Democrats in Chicago.
Please double check my list for duplications since many may
have been covered by others.
I assume that the floor whips (Morton, Brock, Rumsfeld,
MacGregor, Devine, Wyatt et al) have received appropriate
notes for their contributions.
Of course, Bob, we all should send our thanks and contrat-
ulations to you for a job well done.
I hope you have arranged for a nice "special" note to go to
Linda Underwood who was the brightest star by far of the
whole operation. The convention was successful in great
measure to Linda's long hours, understanding disposition
and pleasing personality. I hope she's appropriately
recognized.
I'm sure in his report John Ehrlichman included:
Jim Golden, security
Pat Palangi, distribution
Clay Kimball, assistant to Palangi
Dan Lunngren, assistant housing chairman
Bill Madden, tickets chairman
Boyd Gibbon, rallies
Ed Morgan, airport arrivals
John Nidecker, Floor demonstration
If he didn't, I'm sorry that I don't have their addresses,
but Linda can probable find them.

Dear Dick,
Dodee and I were delighted by your first ballot nomina-
tion and look forward to your election to the Presidency
this Fall.
After three busy months as Assistant Executive Secre-
tary, Arrangements Committee, and Chief Sergeant-at-
Arms for the National Convention at Miami Beach, I
am ready to press on in your behalf in any capacity
my experience allows. There are a few areas in which
I believe my assistance would be helpful to you.
First, in the security area, it is my observation at
this point that you may be overpowered to the extent
your campaign effort could be hampered. You need
someone to relax the Secret Service.
Second, I believe I could help in the Press relations
area. My wide personal acquaintance with members of
the press, including locals who rarely make the Wash-
ington, D.C. scene, should be valuable in the production
of local color stories helpful to you. The locals in
cities, towns and counties visited by you as a Nominee
are too often overlooked as to motorcade accommoda-
tion, accessibility to you, etc.
Third, in the speaker-bureau area, I believe I could
do a creditable job. Besides a wide acquaintanceship
with many athletes, actors and actresses, political
personages, plus a broad recall of the physical accom-
modations for speaking appearances in most cities of
any size in the United States, I have had political-
problem contact with previous speaker bureau people,
Page 2
August 24, 1968
such as Congressman Bob Wilson, Cy Laughter, etc.
Fourth, I have a considerable 8 mm color movie
library of your United States and Foreign Travels
covering your eight years as Vice President. Some-
one, with political and technical knowledge, should
look these over.
May I hear from you at an early convenience?
