JOHN V. VAUGHN
PRESIDENT
June 21, 1962
Mr. M. Zinsmeyer, President
Zinsco Electrical Products
729 Turner Street
Los Angeles 12, California
Dear Mr. Zinsmeyer:
This is a personal appeal for your help in the interest of good
government in California.
In November, California will face a crossroad. Between now and
then, every voter must reach a decision as to which road he wants
his State to take -- the road leading toward a government-dominated
economy, or the one of individual liberty and free enterprise. To
arrive at the right decision, he must be fully informed; he must
have a clear understanding of the records, the principles, and the
administrative abilities of the candidates.
/
To accomplish this, we are asking you, as the executive head of
a major California company, to cooperate in a program of employee
education by furnishing us with the names of one or more of your
employees who would be willing to serve as a "contact" in your
company.
Our objective is to establish a "clearing house" committee in
each large company, to receive and pass on to fellow employees, in-
formation which will help them to become fully informed about
the candidates and the issues which face our state.
Won't you please help us to help your employees by promptly
returning the enclosed information form? Of course, your
employees would be acting voluntarily as individuals and their
activities would be limited by your direction and company policy.
Very truly yours,
John V. Vaughn, Chairman
Contact Division, Los Angeles County
NIXON for Governor Campaign
NIXON FOR GOVERNOR

DANIEL C. WATERS
Director of Contact Division
Thank you for your response to John Vaughn's letter to you of
June 21 requesting your cooperation in establishing the WIN WITH NIXON
program in your company with the assistance of a group of volunteer
employees.
Your response indicated a need for further information regarding the
program, so we are enclosing the attached memorandum from John Vaughn
and a brochure on the WIN program.
We are terribly sorry that due to the press of campaign activities
we have not been able to get around to talking with you by phone.
However, if after reading the enclosed material, you wish to discuss
the program, please call me. If we have not heard from you within a
week, we'll call you to see how you are progressing with the program
and what assistance we may give you with it.
WIN WITH NIXON:
Sincerely,
Dan Dan Waters, Director

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
NIXON FOR GOVERNOR
TO:
All WIN Committee Chairmen
FROM:
John Vaughn
SUBJECT:
How to insure the election of Dick Nixon!
DISTRIBUTION: All other WIN Committeemen in your company
First, our appreciation to those of you who took the time to attend the
"kick-off" luncheon on July 27. We hope that you were inspired and
stimulated by the remarks of Dick Nixon, Senator Hiram Fong and others.
To those who were unable to attend this meeting, we will try in this
letter to outline the steps you should take to implement the WIN Program
in your respective companies.
Second, we must tell you how pleased and encouraged we are with the
overwhelming responses we have received from companies such as yours to
the WIN Program idea. Well over 150 of the largest firms in California
have established "contact" individuals or committees representing
several hundred thousand employees. In the days immediately ahead,
these numbers should double, The "machinery" is thus provided and all
that now remains is to make certain that each committee "crank up the
motor" and start down the road that has been charted in the enclosed
"Win With Nixon" leaflet.
Third, although we recognize that each company committee will want to
"tailor" its activities to fit company policy and conditions, we urge
that you adhere to the following as closely as possible:
1. Expand your committee. Enlist additional WIN Volunteers. Try to
get a representative from each department, branch, job classifica-
tion or work unit in your company. (Be sure to send us these names
promptly so they may be added to our master file and so we may mail
to them their official "WIN VOLUNTEER CARD.)
2. Discuss with the proper official of your company the "ground rules"
he would Tike you to follow in working with your fellow employees.
We do not want to encourage any activities that would not be in the
best interests of your company and its employees. Certainly the
WIN Program, to achieve maximum results, must be carried out in an
unofficial way without employer participation or pressure. It is
simply a man-to-man, employee-to-employee program designed to seek
out, disseminate and discuss the facts about the candidates and
issues, primarily gubernatorial, in the forthcoming election in
California.
3. Enlist the help of your personnel manager. Perhaps he will under-
take to mail out literature and an appropriate letter from your
committee to all employees, or release the addresses of all employ-
ees to your committee. In either case, you should point out that
such mailings, including the envelope, should not bear the company
name, as we should avoid any semblance of company sponsorship.

NIXON FOR GOVERNOR
4. Now, plan your activities, what you are going to do, how you are
going to do it and when. See the enclosed check-list of sugges-
tions. Choose which things you think would be the most effective
and practical to use with your fellow employees and set up a time-
table for doing them.
5. Now is the time to enlist the help of the Nixon Headquarters Staff.
Within the next few days you will be contacted by phone or in per-
son by one of the Volunteer or staff workers in the Contact Division
He will discuss with you your plans and program, he will see that
you receive whatever quantity of literature, campaign material or
forms you will need, he will try to answer your questions and help
to work out any problems. Briefly, he will be available to assist
your committee in every way possible to build an effective employee
communications program.
6. Finally, we urge you to take the initiative to keep us posted on
your activities. Don't hesitate to ask for help or advice. Phone
Dan Waters, Contact Director, Nixon Headquarters, DUnkirk 5-9161.
With support such as yours in helping to get the message to fellow-
employees, we can all WIN with Nixon.
Sincerely,

WIN WITH NIXON
VOLUNTEER SUPPORT PROGRAM
COUNTY CHAIRMAN'S OUTLINE
Richard Nixon believes WIN is a key to victory in November.
WIN operates through the WIN State Director in Los Angeles,
to each County and Community WIN Chairman, Occupational Director,
Company Captain and their Workers.
It is the Company Captains and their Workers who make per-
sonal contacts among their fellow employees or fellow tradesmen and
encourage them to work and vote for Dick Nixon.
WIN provides that.each undecided voter receives a personal
letter from Dick Nixon asking for support in November.
WIN also provides that each Nixon supporter is guided into
the local Nixon organization or recruited to help in this program.
WIN can produce the necessary votes to elect Nixon.
HOW
The County Chairman will appoint a County WIN Chairman.
IT
County WIN Chairmen will recruit Community WIN Chairmen for
WORKS each city or town in the county.
Community WIN Chairmen recruit Occupational Directors rep-
resenting all business categories in the city (see suggested
Occupational Category list attached).
Occupational Directors recruit Company Captains in each
business category -- providing one for each place of business.
Company Captains recruit sufficient workers in their place
of employment so that each employee may be properly contacted.
Suggested ratio of WIN workers to employees is one(1) WIN
worker for each ten(10) employees (a company employing 250
persons should have 25 WIN workers)
-2-
The Company Captains and their WIN Workers canvass their
friends and fellow employees and personally ask them to vote
for Dick Nixon; tell them the reasons for so voting; and
suggest they support Dick Nixon actively. This personal appeal
is the most important function of WIN.
