To:
Finch, Hall, Klein, Bassett, Haldsman
From:
Don Hughes
Netes on Scheduling possibilities for weeks after the Convention:
1)
The Vice President is dead set against staying in Chicago after the Convention.
He wants to come back to D. C. to hold his conferences with the Vice Presi-
dential nominee on scheduling and other subjects. He feels strongly about this --
says that Chicago will be fed up with him by that time.
2)
JDH Info -- RN does not want a fuel stop in Denver under any circumstances.
3)
He feels it would be better to do Whittier after a jet flight to Los Angeles then
Reno by Charter, then to San Francisco for takeoff for Hawaii.
4)
The second week RN said no on Armed Forces band Concert -- nothing public
in Washington.
5)
General guidance for schedulers is that Congress will be in session in August
and we have to use the weekends to maximum for travel with the exception of
trips which have already been scheduled for August during the week.
6)
The Chicago meeting on Friday, August 12 -- be is against that because he feels
he would have to give a major speech and doesn't thinkhe can do it. However, he
is willing to argue on this one.
7)
RN also said he would like to have a special writers conference in second week --
week of 15th.
8)
He does net want to do the National Association of County Officials -- says he does
not want to go to Miami twice and he has to go there for the American Legion Con-
vention in August -- (despite the obvious peg to hang a Southern swing on)
9)
Re Tuscaloosa Fair and Kentucky State Fair he says he is against Fairs as places
for politicians to visit. (JDH comment -- from non political standpoint I think
someone on political staff should argue with him. I was told it is no place for a
politician to be.)
10) RN said that he would like to do something after the VFW Convention in Detroit.
11)
Feels he cannot go to New England that week because it is probably the last week of
Congress. Said to consider possibility of New England visit weekend of 12. 13 & 14.
12) He thought we should wait for developments in Civil Rights before fixing a Southern
swing but to know their might be consideration for weekend of 19, 20 & 21.
12) He said UPI Editors OK only if Q & A affair. He did not want to go to New Orleans
for the Press Club only -- this could be considered in connection with a Southern
swing and or the possibility of changing their date.
