THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
TO:
Larry Higby
FROM: GEORGE JOULWAN
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
May 23
MEMORANDUM FOR:
GENERAL HAIG
FROM:
L. HIGBY
SUBJECT:
George Bush/
Bob Dole Meeting.
The last time the President met with George Bush and other
party officials, he made it clear to Bob that in future
political meetings like this it would be necessary for Haldeman
to sit in, not just Bill Timmons, since in a sense he is an
interested party.
You are obviously aware that there is a meeting today at
3:00 p.m. between Bush, Dole and the President with Bill
Timmons sitting in. It would probably be most appropriate
for you to sit in on this meeting.
There are two issues that have been totally overlooked in
Timmons' briefing paper that will probably be raised by
Bush:
1. The complete possession immediately of the Data Bank by
the RNC.
The Data Bank is from the 1972 election. This is a problem
that you and I need to spend a few minutes on sometime before
any final decision is reached. Briefly you should be aware
that there is in existence a substantial data bank of all the
key states that breaks down by mailing address, ethnic
character, income etc., most of the people in the key states.
This is a very valuable piece of information for any political
candidate because he can use it to do extensive mailing and
political canvassing work. Many people feel that the data
bank was one of the primary reasons for our success in very
tough states against McGovern. Before the President turns
this over wholesale to the RNC some other arrangements should
be considered. If it is turned over to the RNC it in effect
becomes public property and becomes available for any and all
candidates. If the President hold on to it simply for a little
while to figure out what he wants to do, he loses nothing.

2. Bush will probably raise the assumption by the RNC of
all the funds currently being held by the Committee for the
Re-election of the President. This, for a number of reasons
would not be appropriate at this time. First, there are
substantial legal fees that the Committee for the Re-election
of the President may have to assume and additional debts that
are not now cleared up. For the President to give all this
money immediately to George Bush when it was not donated to
the RNC but specifically for the re-election of Richard Nixon
would be inappropriate.
Don't misunderstand me. I think that at an appropriate time
we may want to turn over both the money and the data bank to
the RNC but the President, as you I am sure will agree,
should not be stampeded into any decisions. I think you may
want to talk to him briefly about these subjects prior to his
meeting and at least consider attending the meeting itself.

Dear Mr. Shartzer:
I am happy to finally receive your bill but
notice that is is more than $300 over the original
estimate. You will recall that as we talked on
a number of occasions you continually said that
the original estimate was a little on the liberal
side to make sure we didn't go over the $1500 amount.
Before remitting payment to you, I would appreciate
a breakdown of the bill.
Best wishes,
Sincerely,
Lawrense M. Hggby

Dear Ron:
Though I dictated a draft, I never sent you
a thank you note for your efforts in making
the arrangements for our use of Camp Hoover
a few weekends ago. Needless to say, the rest
was needed and deeply appreciated at a most
difficult period in our lives.
Your kindness in making the arrangements
provided us with a weekend of much relaxation
and fun -- it was just what we all needed.
Again, my thanks for all you did.
Sincerely,
Lawrence M. Higby
Deputy Assistant
to the President
Honorable Ron Walker
Director
