Mr. John Erlichman
614 United Pacific Building
Seattle 4, Washington
Dear John:
AIRMAIL - SPECIAL DELIVERY
I am sanding you & copy of the over-all California schedule. I
will cover in this letter some of the details which should be
looked into while you are in San Francisco this weekend.
First, there seems to be some doubt on the part of George Milias
at least, as to whether the separate meeting with the 1st District
committee is E good idea. He is going to look into this further
and discuss with the people in the lst District group. I think
you better call him when you get to San Francisco and find out
what his plana are unless I have gotten word to you socner. Since
Newt Stearns will be in Los Angeles, he suggests you work out de-
tails with Max Abramson of his office. He's the fellow we met the
afternoon we were in there last week.
If it is decided not to hold the 1st District meeting, then we should
either start the general coffee hour at 9:00 or else plan no acti-
vity for 9:00 - 9130 and start the coffee hour at 9:30 ss originally
scheduled.
Regarding this, if it is decided to hold the 1st District meeting,
you will have to set up a separate suite in the Hotel or a private
dining room for this purpose. You will have to work out with Milias
and the others an estimate of the size of the group, and then try
to get a room that will accommodate them but be relatively woll
filled up once they're all in it. I think it would be 8. good idea
to serve coffee at least, at this meeting possibly a tray of
donuts, and this arrangement should be made with the Hotel. The
hoat in this case would ther be the District committee itself or
the State committee that is, George Milias. It should be strongly
emphasized that the people attending this meeting be there promptly
at 9:00, or better yet, well before nine o'clock since the Vice-
President will be stopping by there on his way to the coffee hour
with the larger group. This meeting should not be announced as 8
scheduled event on the Vice-President's itinerary but rather it
should be privately known to the 1st District committee that he has
agreed to stop by their meeting in the Hotel on his way to the other
coffee hour.
As far as the b1g coffee hour sension is concerned, you will probably
have to use the bilroom of the Hotel or the biggest general room they
Mr. John Erlichman
- 2 -
February 4. 1960
have, assuming, of course that you are convinced the committee 1a
going to produce the 2,000 or 3,000 people that we are expecting.
The reception setup should be the way you and I had discussed
earlier that 10, ofther 0 raised platform or a stage for the
receiving line which will probably consist just of the Vice-Fres-
ident and Pat, although if Milias or Bill Steele or Weinberger or
Dinkelspiel want to stand in the line, we probably should let them.
The idea here might be b have then retate, since it is planned to
stagger the arrival times of these groups, having the county com-
mittes come st 9:30; maybe the YR's at 10:00; the Womens division
at 10:30 and the Nixon-in-'60 people from outlying counties at 11:00;
thus avoiding having everyone arrive at the same time and having to
stand in line for too long. We have got to be careful, however, not
to end up with a sparse crowd at any point especially at the 9:30
arrival time. This meeting should definitely be set up on the basis
of a stand-up deal with coffee end donuts served and some provision
made for a receiving line to form and go up on the platform to greet
the Vice-President. It 1a to be hoped that the whole crowd will not
stand in the line all the time,but rather mill around the room with
a small group gradually Feeding into the line on & stendy basis so
no one just has to stand in line for too long a period.
You will note that on the schedule, I have provided the period 11:30
to 12:30 as time reserved for RN, It is quite possible that if wa
get the size crowd we are expecting, the reception will drug on
longer than the 11:30 cut-off time. If that 1a the case, we can
out into this reserve time if necessary. I wouldn't say so on the
schedule, however.
I think the finance luncheon has already been scheduled in a room
determined for, I believe it is the Italian Room at the St. Francis.
You should check that out; determine who 1a at the head table; who
will introduce RN; how the general program of this luncheon will be
handled, etc. We don't need to got too deeply into the details of
that since it will be in the nature of a private affair. Be should
definitely plan to leave that luncheon at 2:30, however,
After & few minutes in the room to polish his skis, NO will take
him over to the KQRD studio for the filming of his program with
Weinberger. Nothing has been set up on that as far a I am concerned,
although I am sure that preliminary arrangements have been made,
You should get in touch with Weinberger and work out the details
with him. It 18 importent we have a run-down on the nature of
the program; what is to be covered; what RN is expected to do, etc.
Also, Weinberger should have the studios set up and everything ready
to go as noon as we arrive 80 that there will be a minimum of delay.
Mr. John Erlichman
- 3
February 4, 1960
You should be sware of, but not discuss with anyone, the possibility
that on the way back to the St. Prancis from the TV studio, the
Vice-President may went to stop by & school for the deaf where a
cousin or some relative of his is attending. This is not to be
announced, or discussed, or planned in any way, but we will check
it out on the ground when we get there.
I have talked at some length with Verl Taylor who is handling
the arrangements for the Harvard-Stanford party and you can just
confirm those with him, but they follow the pattern covered in the
schedule, pretty closely, You should check out routes to the Pres-
idential Suite and then down to the garden court and 80 on in the
Palace Hotel so we know exactly where we are going.
It will be necessary to check out also, the automobile arrangements.
I assume these will be handled through Whittacher and Baxter, but they
have not been discussed. It looks as though there will be five trav-
eling press so I think we better go on the basis of two cars for staff
and two cars for press. If we pick up some extra press in the State
of California, we will just have to add ocme more cars. I don't know
how that's going to work. The Convair that we are chartering will
seat 35 in addition to the Vice-President and Mrs. Nixon. Therefore,
there is room for a large contingent of reporters and we may get stuck
with same. If the reporter group gets to be more than 10 or 15, I
think we ought to probably hire a bus for the press to ride in,
rather than strining them out in a long row of cars. It would be
much easier to keep them together that way.
The press is included that 18, the traveling press in the Harvard-
Stanford dinner but this should be confirmed with Verl Taylor.
I have told Tom Hanson, the agent in charge of secret service in San
Prancisco that you will be coming in this weekend. You should work
with him closely on all of these arrangements now, because the will
have to work out his security plans. You will find that he can be
a great deal of help, I think,
As far as the general hotel arrangements are concerned, I think you
are familiar with what is needed. There should be the large suite
for the Vice-President and Mrs. Nixon with a parlor and two bedrooms;
Secret Service goes in a room next to that; and staff in rooms as
close by Bis possible. There should be a suite or two connecting rooms
for Rose Woods. Arrangements should be made for an IBM typewriter on
a stand in Rose Woods' living room or extra bedroom. If the hotel
cen't take care of this, call IBM in San Francisco direct.
Going back to the motorcade for a minute you of course, will also
have to have B. car for the Vice-President for which the Secret Service
Mr. John Erlichman
- 4 -
February 4, 1960
will provide a driver. The local people will have to provide
drivers for the staff and press cars.
Regarding the coffee hour Saturday morning the intention on
our part was that the meeting would be co-hosted by the Nixon-in-
"60 group and the Republican party central committee but I have a
feeling that Newt has set it up on the basis of the Nixon-in-'60
group (that is, Weinberger and Dinkelspiel) being the hosts with
the others being invited guests. This may work out ull right,
and I'll do some telephone discussing in the next couple of days
and give you a call if there seems to be any problem in this area.
Don't hesitate to give me a call at home if there is anything
you need to cover or any questions you have.
Best regards.
Sincerely yours,
H. R. Haldeman

RE: Jack Stiles
I discussed Stiles' salary situation with him yesterday
afternoon and we agreed that for the time being at least,
he would stay on our roles as a volunteer instead of a
paid employee. We will then reimburse him for all of his
expenses for living in Washington. It is understood these
expenses are not to exceed $1200 a month.
For the first month's expenses, which I have approved,
and he has been reimbursed already by check the amount
was in excess of $1200 but this will be balanced by a
lower amount in future months.
If, at some time in the future, this system does not
seem to be working satisfactorily, either for us or for
Stiles, we will then consider an adjustment, but for the
time being, we 'think it should work out all right.
I have asked Carolyn Day to proceed on this basis, but to
keep an accurate record of the reimbursements which are
for expenses in Washington, separately from those expenses
incurred on travels on corp. business.

RE: California trip
The following will provide some background information for several
of the events on the California itinerary:
Sacramento: The dinner and ball which the Vice-President is to attend
are sponsored by the Sacremento City-County Chamber of Commerce, 01ym-
pic Committee members, members of the foreign and domestic press corps,
and representatives of the 33 teams will be honored at this meeting.
Gov. and Mrs. Brown will be presentand the Governor requested that the
Vice-President and Mrs. Nixon be requested to participate. I have learned
that members of the International Olympic committee will not be able to
attend, through prior commitments in Santa Barbara that day, but there
will be one representative of the group at the dinner and the ball. The
general group st the dinner will consist of the heads of missions, hoads of
the teams, a representative of the organizing committee; local Sacremento
efficials and the key press people ... a total group of only about 125-150.
The Snow Bell will open with a Grand March led by Gov. Brown. It is
suggested that the Vice-President and Mrs. Nixon plan to stand in an
honored guest box and view the grand march and then leave the ball after
that. Later on inthe ovening, a Hiss Winter Olympics of 1960 will be
selected and crowned.
The political gathering at the Senator Notel scheduled prior to the
dinner will be a receiving line with invited guests - about 200-300;
not a public meeting. There is a possibility that the second and
third congressional district committees who we scratched in Maryaville,
may come into Secramento, in which case the Vis-President could stop by
a gathering of their group at 5:00, prior to going to the other reception
at 5:30.
The State Legislators' breakfast in the morning will be at the Subtor
Club, a stag affair; approximately 30 attending with McCarthy and Dahl
co-hosting.
Presno: The primary function here is the Dismond Jubilee Luncheon cel-
obreting the 75th Anniversary of the City of Preuno. The celebration
will run through the summer, climaxing on October 27. This luncheon
is the kick-off for the period of celebration. It is planned to build
some sort of a momment to commenorate the enniversary and the Golden
Spike which the Vice-President will be given to present to Disk Atkins,
president of the Jubilee Committee, will be used in this memorial.

February 8, 1960
This is strictly a Chamber of Commerce civie event as far as Fromo
10 conserned and is not political. They would appreciate remarks
by the Vice-President along the line of the historic past of the
City of Presno and the way 2% relates to the great future for Frome,
the United States and the world.
AN this point we don't have such dopo on the Q. & s. session with
the Wixon-in-160 people. This will be televised and I think it's
important that a TV BAR be put in there. I don't think they're going
to carry 11 live; 13's a bad time on the air anyway but a will be
filmed for later release. This one could be very effective if handled
right and should be picked up by someme who knows how to handle it
as seon as possible.
We are planning to reladvance Frome a couple of days ahead of the
event as wall as the day before. The Vice-President should luncer that
water is the primary problem in this area, and he will undoubtedly be
questioned en this topic at this a. & A. No can also expect some
questions on the form problem and agricultural situation.

I enjoyed receiving your letter of January 18. I have
been keeping track of your activities at least up through
the end of last year, from reports your dad has given me.
I was glad to hear you are interested in attending the
Republican Convention this summer and I can't at this time
give you any specific information on a position that might
be open in the Nixon group at the convention, but I wanted
you to know that I will certainly keep your suggestion in
mind and as we start getting the convention organization
set up, I will see if there isn't a place where we could
work you in.
I would suggest that you drop me a note the latter part of
May if you have not heard from me prior to that time, but
I assure you I will do the best I can to work something out
for you,
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman
