TALKING PAPER - GEORGE BUSH
John Mitchell thinks that Wilson would be a big mistake from
the Brock point of view - also from the idea of putting three
Southerners on the Committee - you, Dent, and Wilson. Also,
that he's not buttoned down sufficiently. He strongly recommends
Middendorf who would do a much better job in his opinion.

[Item N-47
Meeting with George Bush - January 5, 1973
Introduction: Meeting being held at Bush's request. Opportunity for
you to emphasize several basic points about structure of new RNC.
RNC Mission: Currently involved in Party affairs. Mission must
be redefined as follows:
a.
Selection now of 75 winnable House seats and
10 Senate seats,
b.
Active recruitment by Bush and other of our candidates
for those seats,
C.
Coordination of active assistance over the next two years
by the Party and the Administration to assure that we win
their seats.
Coordination with the House and Senate campaign committees
as indicated in the Brock plan to assure the above.
Coordination with the White House in the production of mailings,
speaking materials, etc. in support of the organization.
Broadening still further the basis of the Republican Party and
inclusion of elements of the New Majority.
Personnel:
Development of a lean, highly skilled Headquarters' staff
to handle the needs at Headquarters while beefing up the field
operation to insure top-flight, grass root organization across the
country. Need to embrace some of the '72 State organization
from the Re-election Committee.
Need to select new personnel that have not alienated any faction
of the party. In line with this Allison and Trelevan are not
acceptable. Lias should not be a Deputy but would be acceptable
as Bush's A.A.
Eleanor Williams should be removed.
Need to take a hard look at current staff and their salary levels.
:
Dent for Counsel; Colson - Special Counsel.
:
Rollins - Finance Chairman.
Structure:
Proposal -- 3 Deputies to handle 3 primary areas of business:
:
Deputy for Staff in Washington. (Women?)
--
Deputy for Field Operations.
:
Deputy for '74 Election.
General:
--
Work with Malek on finding appropriate personnel. H has
directed that Malek be available to Bush on top priority for
personnel. Also, Malek and Magruder have extensive files
on the '72 organization.
