TALKING PAPER -- ATTORNEY GENERAL
To make a long story short, as I am sure you are aware, there
have been numerous problems in dealing with Nofsiger and
the RNC in making the appartus under his control effective
in support of the White House and the President (list attached,
Tab A).
Unless you have any objection, I would like to suggest that
Malek find a suitable replacement for Nofsiger, now that he
is departing, who would be willing to work effectively
with the White House and, of course, the Re-election Committee
at 1701.
The individual Malek comes up with, of course, would be
subject to your approval but, hopefully, we would be able to
work directly with the White House staff in getting done many
of the items the President requests without the inordinate
amount of obstructionism and confusion that has taken place
in the past -- particularly with regard to the publication
of Monday.
Note: Cliff Miller may have discussed the Attorney General's
views on the Nofsiger replacement with you in California.
Miller believes the Attorney General is planning to have
Nofsiger go to California now to set up the California
campaign organisation and after a reasonable amount of time
-2-
in California Nofsiger would be returned to Washington,
presumably in the Deputy Chairman spot at the RNC. This
temporary tour in California for Nofsiger may be attempted
by the Attorney General because Nofsiger organizational
ability is so limited. Miller doubts this plan of the
Attorney General's will work because Nofsiger has moved
so aggressively in California.
