note that point #2 under Talking Points indicates that Gary would
like to meet with the President privately.
Before a phone call like this goes in, it should be staffed by

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
May 18, 1971
RECOMMENDED TELEPHONE CALL
TO:
Former Democrat Governor Raymond Gary
of Oklahoma
O: 405-795-3327; R: 405-795-3280
RECOMMENDED BY:
Harry S. Dent Aso
PURPOSE:
To inform Gary of June 5 trip to his state,
to acknowledge 1968 support and solicit for
1972.
BACKGROUND:
We need to assure Gary's support in 1972
for the President and U. S. Senate. He
likes Ed Edmonson, who may knock off
Harris in a primary. We'll lose if Ed wins.
In 1968, Gary came out openly for the
President, but now is leaning toward Muskie
because of friendship developed when they
were fellow governors. Gary is now in the
trucking and wholesale oil business in Madill,
Oklahoma.
TALKING POINTS:
1. Tell Gary that the President will be in
his state on June 5 to dedicate the McClellan-
Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, as
promised in 1968 campaign.
2. Would like to meet privately with him while
there. (Dewey Bartlett says this is vital.)
3. Appreciate 1968 support. Who can win
1972 Senate race?
May 5, 1971
Dear Mr. Bowman:
Bob Haldeman asked me to check with you regarding
the possibility of having his name put back on the list
for receiving copies of the UCLA Alumni Association
magazine and any other mailings that take place to
those members of the Alumni in the Los Angeles area.
He has mentioned this to a few people, but so far we
have been unsuccessful in being able to get his address
for the Alumni magazine changed to have it delivered
here in Washington.
Would you please have whoever is in charge of these
matters take care of the two Items I have mentioned.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Lawrence M. Higby

Stans feels this group should be for the 25 to 50 thousand

of these people would be those who were unable to make the

Maurice indicated that the Dinner should be somewhere during

MEMORANDUM FOR H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM :
L. HIGBY
Some thoughts on your meeting with Magruder:
Keep in mind that Magruder considers himself betwix and
between but when it comes down to the crunch, his loyalty
lies with the Attorney General.
I would not raise any specific issues with Jeb that will ultimately
have to be settled with the Attorney General such as salaries, polling,
sitting in on meetings for Gordon, etc., until our position is con-
solidated (we are preparing appropriate talking papers on all of
these topics for your next meeting with the Attorney General).
Remember that this meeting was initiated by Magruder and that
he wants to talk to you 9 there is nothing other than the one or two
items that you have in your drawer that you need to raise with him.
Should you decide to include Magruder in the 10 o'clock meeting
it would strengthen my position or Gordon's position substantially
if you would let us tell him of this decision rather than covering it
in your meeting.

MEMORANDUM FOR:

L. HIGBY
SUBJECT:
The Attached Memorandum
Attached is a memorandum written by Jon Rose to Dwight
Chapin delding with Don Schollander a member of your
Committee.
It is Bob's feeling that we ought to try if possible, to get
Schollander much more actively involved with us.
I'm not sure what your plans for Schollander are, but there
probably is a good way we can work Schollander into the overall
scheme of things.
Perhaps the best thing to do would be to bring him into the
White House first and then let him move out from there into handling
Youth for Nixon or some segment of the campaign.
Schollander is obviously an intelligent and highly articulate individual
and someone who we cannot deal with in a light manner. Therefore,
it would probably be wise if we sat down, perhaps at one of our 8:00 a.m.
breakfasts, and talked about this alittle bit before anyone takes any action.

interest of Presidential Interest and friendship, without being

Oregon rather than national in scope. This would seem to me
somewhat analogous to hiding a fairly bright light under a bushel.

SCHEDULE PROPOSAL
Date: May 11, 1971
FROM: Jonathan C. Rose
VIA: Dwight L Chapin
MEETING:
Donald Schollander
DATE:
Tuesday, May 25, 1971
PURPOSE:
To reinforce Schollander's support for your
reelection. He has already agreed to serve on
Francis Dale's Committee to Reelect the President.
In the future It might be helpful to call upon
Schollander for active assistance in the 1972
campaign, particularly with regard to gaining
support of the 18- to 30-year-old voters.
FORMAT:
Oval Office
5 to 10 minutes
PRESS COVERAGE: Optional. Probably none.
STAFF:
Finch(?) Flanigan(?) Jon Rose(?)
RECOMMEND:
Flanigan
BACKGROUND:
As you will recall, Donald Schollander won four
gold medals In the 1964 swimming Olympics, and
one gold medal and one silver medal In the 1968
Olympics. He is three years out of college (Yale,
Class of 1968). He worked in San Francisco for a
year for the brokerage firm of Eastman Dillon and
is now a college administrator at Lewis and Clark
College, Portland, Oregon.
Obviously any drain on the President's time is
negative to a proposal such as this. Otherwise it
would seem that such a very short meeting would
be quite useful. Schollander is a handsome,
articulate, and world-famous member of an age
group in which the President's support is quite
o 2 -
weak. He has been approached by the Muskle
campaign but Instead has agreed to serve on
the Committee to Reelect the President. At
the moment his support is limited basically to
the use of his name on the committee. He is
a sufficiently attractive spokesman so that if
we begin now to subtly but actively involve him
with people here at the White House including
the President, I believe he could be perhaps
persuaded to play a much more active role in
the 1972 effort.

At the age of 18 Don Schollander had achieved th
things: He had won four gold medals in the 1964 Olyn
Games; he had set 37 American and 22 world swimm
records; he had been voted the world's best athlete, amat

Dear Uncle Don:
I've received your note outlining your vacation
plans for this summer. Sounds like you're going
to have a busy one.
I've made reservations for you at the Holiday Inn,
5520 Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda. The rate for
a room with two double beds is $25 per night and
is a very reasonable price for this area at this time
of year. The reservations are for June 28 through
July 4.
Please let me know any of the things here that you
would like to see and I will line up a complete tour
schedule for you.
Look forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely,
Mr. Donald Mead

John Ehrlichman indicated to Haldeman that he had received
information from Charlie McWhorter regarding Muskie and
Stevenson and the fact that Muskie is seriously considering
Stevenson to be his running mate. You may want to give McWhorter
a call and let him know that you are handling all political things for
Haldeman now and that if anything should come up in the way of
intelligence or something, Bob would be very interested in knowing
about it should Charlie want to forward the information.
