HIGBY I checked both Chuck Colson and Alex Butterfield - two people who were in charge of the November, 1969 ads, and neither one of them had ever heard of Mr. Smith. 1 wonder If there is not a misup here. MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 24, 1970 MEMORANDUM FOR LARRY HIGBY I'm returning the memo from Jack Gleason. I've never heard of Kent Smith before, and knew nothing about the ads. The ads are great and the names are good, but I have no idea who arranged it--if anyone. Lum Charles W. Colson jack gleason 1310 Nineteenth Street, N. W., Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 234-1552 October 19, 1970 CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM FOR LAWRENCE M. HIGBY From: Jack A. Gleason Jy Re: November 1969 ads for our Vietnam Policy Larry Not that it matters greatly at this late date, but I enclose herewith a note to me from Kent Smith regarding some ads placed last year. Smith's letter is self-explanatory except that he omits the fact that he was originally told the cost of the ads would be equally divided among all signers of the ad. Ironically, there appear to be no poor men on this ad; yet, of them, only Kent Smith has been a substantial contributor to us both in '68 and '70. Whoever coordinated this thing from the White House owes some explanation to Smith, for while he is 100% with us this is a pretty good way to turn him off. Larry- I do not know Kent Smith - nor does his name appear an my list of persons sponsoring or even coordinating on ads. I thought I knew most d the people who were doing things on this scale, but this ad f this name are "strangus." (Inciduatally, in Smiths letter to fleason nothing is mentioned about an agreement that we would Share costs - and I never agreed to such a thing. KENT H. SMITH WOODSTOCK ROAD GATES MILLS, OHIO October 10, 1970 Mr. Jack Gleason 1310 19th St. N.W. Washington, D. C. 20036 Dear Jack, Some time ago, when I mentioned that I had paid a substantial part of the costs of several half-page advertisements supporting the administration's policy on Vietnam, you expressed an interest in having more information. Enclosed is a clipping of the advertisement which appeared in The Christian Science Monitor on Monday, November 17, 1969. The same half page advertisement appeared in four other large city newspapers as indicated in the enclosed copy of the paid invoice of the agency running the advertisements. The total cost was $12,790.39. My con- tribution was $11, 569. 39. If you are interested in knowing the names and amounts of the other parties contributing, I can list them for you. Very truly yours, KHS:t Encl. 2 obligations IS required, not only from the President, but from each one of us. ) S Dean G. Acheson Gordon Gray A.S. (Mike) Monroney V Washington, D. C.
