Pursuant to our conversation, would you set up a mechanism
to record all public utterances of any of our key spokesmen,
i.e., MacGregor, etc., and that we always are sure we get
a film taken by our film crew whenever Connally is doing
a public appearance. It is frankly unforgiveable that we
failed to get the film coverage of the Connally Democratic
announcement.

going to be doing this by August 16th.

SUBJECT:
Mexican American Visibility
In response to your inquiry, Mexican Americans are playing highly visible
roles in the campaign organization. As you know, the Spanish Speaking
group is one of our most important voter blocs, and it is prominently
staffed with highly competent, politically experienced Mexican Americans,
including:
Alex Armendariz, the Director, who has extensive political
experience, including acting as a consultant and manager in
several Congressional campaigns, notably those of Jack
Nevius, Jack Kemp, and Buz Lukens. Alex is originally
from Chicago.
David Florence, the Western Field Director, who came to us
highly recommended by Governor Reagan's staff. Dave had
worked in the Governor's campaign, and as Assistant Deputy
Director of the California Department of Human Resources
before he joined the Committee.
Sylvia Garcia, the Southwestern Field Representative, who
was a Manpower Specialist with the Department of Labor in
Dallas. She is young, articulate, and comes from an influen-
tial Texas Mexican American family. She worked in the Bush
campaign, among others.
In addition to the 1701 staff itself, Mexican Americans in the Executive
Branch and the White House figure prominently in campaign activities.
Henry Ramirez of the Cabinet Committee, Tony Rodriguez of Colson's
staff, and Carlos Conde of Klein's staff are all consulted by Armendariz
and myself on important political decisions affecting Mexican Americans.
- 2 -
Perhaps the most visible area of Mexican American activity between now
and November will be in the Spanish Speaking surrogate program developed
by 1701 and the White House. We intend to have all prominent Administra-
tion Mexican Americans -- Banuelos, Ramirez, and many others -- out
speaking on behalf of the President in key Mexican American communities
with particular emphasis on Texas, California, and Illinois.
In addition, Armendariz is in the process of forming a national advisory
committee of Spanish Speaking Americans for the Re-Election, which will
be predominantly composed of prominent Mexican Americans. Moreover,
Mexican American Democrats will be included both within the John Connally
structure (Al Ortega, a Los Angeles public official, is a Chairman of
Democrats for Nixon) and outside of it, if they choose -- last week a group
of Mexican American Democrats led by a respected Texas judge (Hernandez)
announced their support for the President in a widely publicized press
conference.
In summary, we are aware of the importance of the Mexican American
vote, and are giving Mexican Americans highly visible roles in the cam-
paign structure.

Several odds and ends.
1. We need to get a mailer out fast to 100, 000 Democrats - labor
leaders, mayors, legislators, and so forth, of the Connally state-
ment that he gave in announcing the Democrate for Nixon.
2. The President says he has covered with you, the need to set
up for publicity purposes, Democratic Lawyers for Nixon, Democratic
Mayors for Nixon, Democratic State Legislators for Nixon, Democratic
Women for Nixon, Democratic Youth for Nixon, etc., as a way to make
new stories on Democrate from day to day.
3. I assume we are taking some action on the Washington Post head-
line regarding the Connally announcement.
4. Regarding gun control, you or someone should call in the sportsmen,
Hruska, and so forth, covering all the states where it matters, get them
to take the strongest possible McGovern statement and hang him on it,
the same as we beat Tydings in Maryland. We should not be for outlawing

TALKING PAPER - POLITICAL GROUP
What is our answer to McGovern's line that "I pledge a job

POLITICAL STRATEGY MEMO
The memos analysing our political strategy don't focus hard
enough on the one simple point, or the few simple points that
we need to ram home over and over.
On the positive basis, we need to make the point of the new world,
the man of peace, and reform at home.
On the negative side, we need to make the point that McGovern
is dangerous to peace abroad, he's dangerous to peace at home,
and he's dangerous to your pocketbook.
The best issue we've got for conservative Democrate is the court
appointments.
We should suggest to surrogates, a good line which is that the
principles that have involved the United States in Vietnam under
four Presidents are as valid today as when the first U.S. soldiers
set foot on Vietnamese soil. This line has been used very successfully
by the Vice President.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
CHARLES COLSON
SUBJECT:
Pierre Rinfret
In response to your memo of August 9 regarding Pierre Rinfret,
I met with Rinfret yesterday to discuss not only the attitudes of
business and financial writers he has encountered, but also his
own involvement in our campaign.
Rinfret is very much out of sorts with us at the moment I think,
justifiably so, A month ago MacGregor and I met with Rinfret
and agreed that he would be a "principal economic spokesman"
for the campaign. MacGregor and I had been very much impressed
with some of the brilliant and well publicised attacks that Rinfret
had made on McGovern. We agreed that he would be something of
a one-man truth squad. He in turn asked for involvement in the
Platform process and some recognition publicly that he was acting
as an adviser to the Administration and the campaign apparatus.
In accord with our agreement, we released a story that Rinfret
would be prominent for us in the campaign. Stein, Flanigan, and
Shultz immediately raised very strenuous objections. As a result,
while Rinfret has been flitting around the country attacking McGovern,
MacGregor and I have been unable to keep our part of the agreement.
He is not involved in the Platform process. We have not scheduled
the photo with you which Rinfret requested and instead of his being
a one man truth squad, he has been asked to join a committee of 15
prominent economists.
Rinfret is well aware that our in-house economists have vetoed his
role in the campaign. He has discussed it with Connally twice.
2.
Connally is very disturbed at the way in which Stein, Flanigan et al
have reacted to Rinfret and believes we are making a very serious
error. Connally describes Rinfret as one of the most "gifted and
articulate" spokesmen in the country. He believes that Rinfret
should be brought in, stroked often and kept out front as the
"principal economic spokesman" attacking McGovern. Connally,
as you may know, is very high on Rinfret and his ability.
Based on my discussion with Rinfet yesterday, I think we may be
able to satisfy him at least for a while by simply bringing him in
for a photo with you. We cannot use him in the Platform process
because of Stein's objections. I think perhaps if Rinfret has one
meeting with you and a photo, he is enough of a self-promoter to
carry it from that point by himself. He is perfectly agreeable to
going anywhere in the country, talking to editorial boards, speaking
to groups, attacking McGovern, going on TV, etc., but at the
moment his feelings are badly bruised and, hence Connally and I
believe that a meeting with you at this time is quite important.
Beyond that, I will simply try to keep our own people calm while
Rinfret goes out front for us.

MEMORANDUM FOR :
CHUCK COLSON
FROM THE PRESIDENT
Pierre Rinfret has written me a note expressing his great concern
after talking to the business and financial writers group in New York,
that the majority of them are strongly pro-McGovern. This is no
surprise to me because I have read the wire service reports and
the stock market on CPI releases, etc., and it is very clear that
the writers lean to McGovern and are trying to do us in on every
opportunity.
What can be done to handle this problem, of course, is questionable.
In any event, it might be well to get Rinfret to come down and talk
with Haldeman, Ehrlichman and you on this.matter. He may have
some ideas that would be useful. Under no circumstances have
Flanigan or Stein sit in on such a meeting. They don't hit it off with
Rinfret because he is not one of the establishment economists, and
it would only irritate him to have them there.

BOB MARIK
SUBJECT:
Sindlinger Poll: "Political Confidence"
The Sindlinger publication, "Political Confidence" of July 22,
contains a piece of data which may have profound significance
for the President's campaign. As you may know, Sindlinger
operates a continuous daily national poll, by telephone,
principally to provide clients with current information on the
state of the economy. He adds questions relating to national
politics during each Presidential year. In the past three
elections, he has been able to demonstrate that his turnout
projections (people who indicate an intention of voting) have
been within 2.5 percent of the actual vote total.
In his current report, Sindlinger shows that the President now
enjoys a 23-point lead among all adults 18 years and older. The
actual figures are 50.2% for Nixon, 27.1% for McGovern and 22.7%
undecided. If all eligible adults voted, the turnout would be
in excess of 136 million votes, which clearly will not happen.
Therefore, Sindlinger next asked if each respondent planned to
vote in November. He found that 55.7% of the total sample did
plan to vote. That translates into a turnout of about 76 million,
which is not much higher than 1968, despite the addition of the
18-year old vote.
The interesting point is that, of McGovern's support in the
total population, 90.7 percent intend to vote. By contrast,
only 58.8 percent of the President's supporters in the total
population intend to vote. Thus, among those who say they will
vote, the President's lead is only 8.9%--53.0% to 44.1%, with
2.9% undecided.
To put it another way, when the sample is projected to the total
population, only 3,470,000 of McGovern's supporters plan to stay
home, but 28,164,000 of the President's supporters plan not to
vote.
CONFIDENTIAL
- 2 -
In normal years, the conventional wisdom is that those who do
not participate in the electoral process tend not to favor the
Republican candidate. This year, it may be different. The data
certainly indicates that we are on the right track with a massive
effort to canvass the voters door-to-door and by telephone, to
register our favorables, and to get out our vote on Election Day.
It also indicates that we are tremendously vulnerable to a catastro-
phe because of over-complacency on the part of our supporters.

CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
CLARK MAC GREGOR
THROUGH:
JEB BOB MARIK S. MAGRUDER
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Farm and Mountain States
At a recent strategy group meeting, we discussed the necessity
for McGovern to carry some of the midwestern farm states and
Rocky Mountain states in order to reach 270 electoral votes.
As a result, ten states in those regions were identified for
moderately increased priority, to offset a possibly strong
McGovern effort. In addition, the Eagleton affair has raised
our prospects in Missouri, and Washington State has been cited
as one where the President could do well against McGovern.
The full list is shown in Tab A. In total, the twelve states
under consideration represent 69 electoral votes.
In Tab B, election results over the past decade are shown for
each state: Presidential and statewide totals for Congressional
races. These charts give some insight into the degree of support
for Republican candidates which has existed in each state.
Grassroots Campaign. The campaign in these states will be fought
in the precincts. The side which conducts the most effective pro-
gram of volunteer recruitment, voter identification and get-out-
the-vote will probably win. Therefore, the first priority should
be to beef up the number of storefronts in the states. These will
serve as the operational headquarters for voter canvassing and
other volunteer activities for the surrounding areas. Fred Malek's
Political Division has prepared state budget allocations to
accomplish that objective.
Surrogates. The schedule for speakers' appearances in smaller
states between the two conventions is shown in Tab C. If you
approve the higher priority of these twelve states, other speakers
can be scheduled into them after the convention.
CONF IDENTIAL
- 2 -
Direct Mail. A program has been developed for mailing to farmers
on the Farm Journal mailing list in small priority states. Letters
and envelopes will be prepared and sent to the states, along with a
list of the farm families to receive them. The envelopes will be
addressed and stamped in the state, with the money for postage coming
from state or local funds. The states included in this program,
along with the quantity to be mailed, are listed in Tab D. Two
separate mailings to each farmer are now contemplated.
Advertising. These smaller states will generally not receive a
heavy schedule of media advertising, beyond that on nationwide
network TV. However, it will be possible for the November Group
to intensify coverage in the priority small states without sub-
stantial additional expense because of the modest size of the
markets.
Polling. Up until now, we have not verified the strength of the
President by polling in most of these states. Bob Teeter has
arranged to participate in polls in Missouri, Wyoming, New Mexico,
Iowa, Nevada and Colorado. Those results should be available with-
in the next few weeks.
Recommendations
That you approve the elevation of the twelve states discussed in
this memo to a priority status above the other smaller states (but
far below the ten larger states which have been designated Priority
I and II).

SUBJECT:
Canvassing
On the plane returning from Louisiana yesterday Senator Bob Griffin
expressed to the President Griffin's view that our canvassers were
making a mistake in identifying only pro-Nixon voters. Griffin told
the President that our canvassers should also identify pro-Wallace
voters. (Griffin's view, which I tend to share, is that many
Wallace supporters do not realize or accept that Wallace is
definitely out of the race in the general election.)
The President asked Griffin if this should apply only to Michigan.
Griffin said NO, and added that public opinion surveys show the Wallace
voters generally throughout the Country break down into 2/3 for
Nixon and 1/3 for McGovern, and that therefore we should develop an
accurate list of pro-Wallace people everywhere.
The President has directed that our canvassers do as Griffin
recommended.

McGovern's Credibility as Campaign Issue and Use Thereof
Concept
McGovefn's credibility has come into question by the public and
press since the start of the Democratic National Convention: The following
events have contributed to McGovern's credibility problems:
1. At the Convention - The McGovern camp's handling of the South
Carolina challenge, the Minority Reports on Abortion and
Homosexuals and his talk to P.O.W. wives and the S.D.S. on
whether he would maintain U. S. forces in Thailand.
2. Post Convention - The Eagleton Affair, the 1000% backing state-
ment, the August 5, 1972, "White Paper" which was inaccurate,
and cheating on the networks on August 5, 1972, by making a
brief announcement on the V.P. candidate and using the balance
of the time to make a political campaign speech.
3. General - Waffling on support of Israel, on $1000 to everyone,
on $6500 to family of four, and on going to Hanoi to "beg."
There is no doubt in recent weeks that the public and press be-
lieve McGovern has had a credibility problem. It is believed and believable.
We should exploit this weakness immediately for maximum effect.
Our attack should be on the following points:
1. McGovern's lack of credibility based on the above examples;
2. McGovern's lack of candor, credibility and judgment in handling
these events bring into serious question his ability to govern.
CONFIDENTIAL/EYES ONLY

3. McGovern's extreme policies haved placed him in a position

Implementation
This attack should start as soon as possible and it should be
kept away from the President. The Vice President should not join in this
attack.
The following vehicles should be used:
1. Surrogates and Mr. MacGregor

Attached is the basic plan for intellectuals for Nixon that
Garment has worked out. He indicates it was developed
by Paul Weaver of Harvard, has been concurred in by
Pat Buchanan, Len Garment, and Fred Malek.
He asked for your comments and suggestions regarding this.
Attachment
1. The Plan: to assemble a small group (25-50) of eminent academics
and intellectuals, most of them Democrats and old-line liberals, who
make a public "Declaration of Concern" attacking McGovern positions
(especially isolationism, quota democracy, and lack of restraint and pro-
fessionalism), stating positively their own views, and declaring their
intention to vote for president on the basis of which candidate is closest
to their position. The general idea is to establish a "middle position" --
focused on issues rather than candidates, formally independent of the
Committee to Reelect the President, and only by implication supporting
Nixon - - which is persuasive by virtue of the eminence of the people,
their traditional independence of the GOP (in the case of some, their
nonalignment with either party) and their concern with issues rather than
men.
2. The Objectives: (1) to articulate and encourage opposition to McGovern
in the academic and intellectual community and in the public at large,
(2) to deny McGovern what has been an important symbol of his candidacy
so far -- the myth of monolithic academic and intellectual support, (3)
to encourage, at least indirectly, a movement of academically - oriented
opinion toward Nixon, and (4) to stimulate independent local efforts and
declarations of the same sort.
-2-
There are three operations planned for the period of August 1 -
September 15. (Plans for the campaign period will be developed later.)
(1) By August 20, publication in the New York Times and Washington
Post of a full-page advertisement carrying the group's declaration.
(2) Sending a small number of observers (two to five) to the Miami
convention, for possible media attention. (3) Distribution by direct mail
of copies of the declaration, together with other materials for use in
similar independent local efforts, to people who respond to the declaration
and to selected mailing lists.
For the period August 1 - September 15, this operation has three sorts
of needs. Money: From private individual donors, preferably Democrats,
no more than $25,000 ($20, 000 for the ads, the balance for Miami ob-
servers, direct mail and office expenses). Paul Weaver would run the
operation on a volunteer basis out of Cambridge. Technical assistance:
From August 7 to August 15, assistance in preparing, laying out, and placing
the advertising copy; from August 15 to August 25, assistance in obtaining
mailing lists and preparing, printing, and sending the direct mail effort;
and during the Miami convention, escort or liaison services for the ob-
servers (who will know nobody at the Convention and have nothing in par-
ticular to do -- except "be available"). Cooperation and Coordination:
Agreement by similar or related campaign operations not to approach,
enlist, or use the people assembled in this group without prior consultation.

The Letters to the Editor Program is one effective medium through
which to present our message to the people. Letters have wide exposure
and good credibility. The Letters Program is being organized to function
during the final intensive months of this campaign within each of the
major media areas within approximately half the states.
Organization
It has been proposed that the Letters Program function through various
groups already organized within the campaign. Basically, the program
would operate through various independent campaign groups within each
state, groups generally exclusive of each' other and directed at different
voter groups. The Letters Program would operate through:
1. The State Press Directors (Van Shumway) : their people can reach both
the daily press and the voter blocs press;
2. The Professional Citizens Committees (Chuck Shearer) : these people
can provide particularly effective letters within their specialized
areas, and often will be of such weight in their community or organi-
zation as to receive automatic publication;
3. The Federation of Republican Women (Connie Armitage) : these women are
well organized, informed, anxious to participate in the campaign; they
have a proven national organization;
4. Urban Citizens Committees (John Wirth) : these groups, though limited
to seven states, will provide immediate access to the major ethnic
concentrations in the vital urban states.

Handbooks
To facilitate rapid, effective development of the Letters Program within
each group and each state, it is proposed that an instruction handbook
be distributed to each State Letters Coordinator and to each Letter Wri-
ter. The handbook provides step-by-step instructions for organizing,
implementing/writing, and following-up the program.
It is estimated 100 Letters Coordinators and 800 Letters Writers Hand-
books will be needed. The Republican National Committee Print Shop
estimates cost for this quantity handbooks would be between $90-$100.
The handbook would be printed on two-color stock, with split pages, as
in the attached sample. The cover would be medium-weight cardboard,
professional-lettered, and the handbook tri-stapled. Printing time
would be approximately one week from date of delivery of the copy to the
Republican Committee.

ADVANCE
On Wednesday, July 26, Mr. Clark MacGregor held a press conference
and attended a reception in connection with the "grand opening" of
the New Jersey Committee for the Re-election of the President Head-
quarters in Newark. The press conference was well covered by the
media and front page stories resulted in both of the Newark daily
newspapers. The reception was attended by approximately 300 volun-
teers and Republican leaders. Governor Cahill also attended the
event. This event was advanced by the Tour Office.
Julie Nixon Eisenhower was scheduled to be the principal speaker at
the Tenth Anniversary Dinner of the Monmouth County, New Jersey,
Girl Scout Council on July 26 but due to illness was forced to cancel
her appearance. Our scheduling office arranged for Mrs. Connie Stuart
to substitute for Mrs. Eisenhower. The trip was advanced by a Tour
Office advanceman. All reports received were that the appearance went
very well. Mrs. Stuart's speech to a group of approximately 500 Girl
Scouts and adults was well received and was covered by at least 10
members of the local print media. Mrs. Stuart received a gift of a
painting on behalf of Mrs. Eisenhower.
On Thursday, July 27, Mr. Edward C. Nixon was the principal speaker
at a luncheon rally held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa by congressional
candidate Ted Ellsworth. Mr. Ellsworth is trying to unseat Democrat
John Culver. Mr. Nixon spoke to an audience of 150 people and was
quite well received. The only paper. in the town, The Cedar Rapids
Gazette, gave Mr. Nixon a favorable story. This event was advanced
by the Tour Office.
On July 28, the Tour Office advanced Mr. Edward C. Nixon's visit to
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The first event of the day, a breakfast
with the Oklahoma City Republican Men's Club, was attended by 100
persons and covered by a local radio station. The breakfast was
followed by a taped interview with television station WKY (NBC
affiliate). A five minute portion of this interview was aired as
part of the station's half-hour noon news report. A Coffee spon-
sored by the Oklahoma City Republican Women's Club was attended by
120 persons and covered by television station KOCO (ABC affiliate).
The primary event, a luncheon address to the Concerned Geologists
of Oklahoma, was attended by a capacity audience of 260 persons.
Approximately 100 additional persons were turned away at the door
because the room's capacity was already overextended. The address,
which was well received by the audience, was covered by three
television stations (NBC, CBS, and ABC affiliates) and three radio
stations as well as reporters from the print media. After the
luncheon address, Mr. Nixon met with the press for a question and
answer period.
On July 28, Secretary Morton dedicated the Mercer Island Slugh in
Seattle, Washington. A Tour Office advanceman was assigned to
assist the Interior Department advance team for this event, which
was rated a success by the Tour Office Advanceman.

Governor Meskill, Congressman McKinney, and Doug Kirshaw, a celebrity
for the President from Nashville, Tennessee, appeared at a Chicken
Bar B-Q co-sponsored by the Maine Committee for the Re-election of
the President and the Young Voters for the President division on
July 29 in Brunswick, Maine. The Tour Office advanced this event.
The weather hampered the attendance at the outdoor event which
totalled approximately 250. The event was covered by one local
TV station and the local papers. There was some pre-event press
coverage.
In addition to the foregoing activities which were advanced by the
Tour Office, 14 other events involved telephone advances and sched-
ule building.
As part of a continuing program to visit administrative assistants
and/or advancemen of surrogates at least two times prior to the
Convention, the Tour Office met with the staffs of Senators Brooke.
and Gurney and Secretary Schultz and Secretary Richardson last week.
The Tour Office held an intensive one and one-half day Advance School
for 26 volunteer advancemen in Washington on July 29-30. All but
three of these men performed quite well. Quite a number of attendees
were outstanding in the classroom atmosphere and can be expected to
perform at this level in the field. The Tour Office is bringing an
additional 25 volunteer advancemen to Washington for a similar Advance
School on August 5-6.
AGRICULTURE
The Senate Agriculture Committee has been holding hearings on the
issue of export quotas on hides. The Congress will probably slap
the wrists of the Commerce Department (and thereby the Administra-
tion as well) over this issue. How hard that slap will be is still
undetermined.
Export quotas, coming on the heels of a loosening of import controls,
has caused a great deal of consternation in cattle country. Two of
our district Farm Families for the President chairmen resigned in
protest of this series of actions.
The 1973 wheat program was announced, and is expected to be very
popular with wheat farmers. This is politically significant since
wheat is one of our soft spots in the agricultural spectrum. Farm-
ers will be particularly appreciative of the early announcement;
for a change, it precedes the planting of winter wheat. They will
also like the expanded set aside, which is designed to remove from
production five million acres more than were removed in 1972.
The feed grain sale to Russia and the 1973 wheat program have already
resulted in a 10c per bushel increase in Kansas wheat prices.

Yeutter worked with the editor of the Farm Journal in lining up
a pair of articles on the agricultural platforms of the two parties.
The critique of the Democratic platform will be written by Congress-
man Kyl, and that of the Republican platform by Congressman Smith,
both of Iowa. We'll be working with Claude Gifford of USDA on the
Kyl article. This will be good exposure for him in his Congressional
race, and should also help the President if the article is well done.
Roy Battles, veteran information specialist with the Farm Bureau,
joined us as a fieldman. Roy knows thousands of farm people in
the Northeast and East, and will help us in this area, as well as
handling certain special projects here in Washington, D. C.
CITIZENS
The CPA, Real Estate, Automobile Dealers and Insurance Committees
are still in the process of filling their state committee chair-
manships. Of the four groups, the Real Estate Committee for the
Re-election of the President is the most nearly completed with 43
of 50 state chairmanships filled. This group will undoubtedly be
completed by the deadline date.
In order to encourage greater efforts on the part of the other
groups, we have been using the Real Estate group's performance
to engender a sense of competition which appears to be working
as the other groups are more quickly filling their vacant posi-
tions. There is no reason to doubt that these four groups will
be well established by the deadline date, and will be among the
more influential in the citizen's efforts.
Mr. Robert P. Gerholz, National Chairman of the Real Estate Com-
mittee has suggested the formation of a new citizen's group which
will include some 30 to 40,000 women real estate brokers. The
organization of this group will be aided by Mr. Gerholz and we
should be receiving input on this by next week.
A meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, August 3, at 11:00 a.m.
in the Old Executive Office Building. The purpose of this meet-
ing will be to organize the Clergy and Laymen Committee. Attend-
ing will be Mr. Fred Rhodes and Dr. McLaughlin of the White House
in addition to Messrs. Andre LeTendre, Donley Brady and Forest
Meade of the Citizens Committee. This meeting is being held in
lieu of the report on this group which had been mentioned in
previous week's report.
We have found great enthusiasm on the part of our national commit-
tee and great determination on their part to facilitate the Re-
election of President Nixon.
-4-
Meetings of our national committees of 13 were held during the
week with the pharmacists, optometrists, life underwriters, and
the hot rodders. All of these groups are extremely enthusiastic
and will have all state chairmen within the week.
Meetings for the following week are lined up with the motorcyclists,
veterinarians and savings and loan organizations. Mutual savings
banks are now scheduled for the next week.
Bob Baldwin of Morgan Stanley is putting together the top group
for the securities industry, and we anticipate a meeting of this
group within the week. Commercial Banks are being put together
by Bill Spencer of First National City Bank of New York.
Negotiations continue with the aviation industry, and we expect to
resolve our situation this week.
I spent the end of the week in California putting on a Republican
Industry Workshop Program meeting with Bob Finch, Senator Dominick,
and Cliff White in San Francisco and Los Angeles (the following
week).
Arrangements were made to turn all volunteers located over to the
California Committee for the Re-election of the President. Both
cities are badly fractured by petty party jealousies and a major
effort is going to be required to get them all to stop fighting
each other and to work for the President.
Architects: The national committee of Architects met on July 24
to select regional chairmen. Mr. McDonald Becket was selected
as national chairman for the group.
Hairdressers: Mr. Joseph Wier agreed to assist in the selection
of a national committee of hairdressers, which is scheduled for
1:00 p.m. on August 2.
Indians: Mrs. Sue Lallmang joined the staff of the Indian com-
mittee for the Re-election of the President. National vice-chair-
man Martin Seneca and Neal McCaleb are scheduled to attend the
National Indian conference to be held in Eugene, Oregon from August
6 through the 11th. Further organization of the Indian committee
will be accomplished at that time.
Mayors: Twelve of thirteen mayors have tentatively agreed to attend
a national committee meeting at 10:00 a.m. on August 7. Those sched-
uled to attend and their cities are the following: Pete Wilson, San
Diego; Steve May, Rochester; Harry Haskell, Wilmington; David Montague,
Hampton, Virginia; Ralph Perk, Cleveland; John Driggs, Phoenix; J. R.
Allen, Columbus, Georgia; Kyle Testerman, Knoxville, Tennessee; E. J.
Garn of Salt Lake City; Ben Boo, Duluth, Minnesota; and James Taft
of Cranston, Rhode Island.
-5-
County Officials: Several county officials have agreed to attend
a national committee meeting of county officials. The scheduled
date is 1:00 p.m. on August 7.
State Legislators: The Vice President's office is assisting in
the selection of a national committee of state legislators.
Travel Agents: A national key man meeting met and selected Thomas
Kiesling, President of the American Society of Travel Agents, as
its chairman. Mr. Kiesling, Andy Spielman, of Waters Travel Service,
and Phillip Schweidel have contacted ten others for a national com-
mittee meeting scheduled for August 2 at 10:00 a.m.
Petroleum Marketers: Nationally known petroleum marketers have sug-
gested that such a group has potential to reach a large number of
citizens who would not otherwise be included in the list of presently
formed citizens committees. A group of 13 petroleum marketers will
meet August 1 at 11:00 a.m.
The list of the members making up these groups is attached to this
report. As can be noted, these people are the cream of the crop
or the "who's who" of their businesses and professions. They also
represent the top firms in their areas.
SPOKESMEN RESOURCES
We met with John Wirth to discuss the Surrogate Attack Plan and to
better prepare this office to place surrogate candidates into ethnic
events during the general campaign. We will continue to work very
closely with the Ethnic Division in this regard.
We met with Senator Bellmon, Mr. Dent, and Congressman Kemp to discuss
the Surrogate Attack Plan and their proposed post Labor Day schedules.
We have now met with all surrogates and discussed their proposed
schedules. We are now implementing the Plan.
We worked on Alternate Programming, News Briefing, and caucus team
responsibilities at the Miami convention, and, in addition, attending
a meeting of the Convention Program Committee.
We spent two days at the New York Football Giants and New York Jets
training camps, recruiting members of those teams to actively sup-
port the President. In addition, we attended the Hall of Fame
induction ceremonies in Canton, Ohio, and recruited three of this
year's four inductees, Ollie Matson, Lamar Hunt, and Ace Parker, to
actively work on behalf of the President.
We met with Dwight Chapin, Bill Carruthers, Mark Goode, Phil Joanou,
Cliff Miller and Jack Philbin, producer of the Jackie Gleason Show,
to discuss the possibility of a major television event on behalf of
the President.

POLLING AND STRATEGY
Attached are recent updates of a Gallup poll showing Nixon-McGovern-
Wallace and Nixon-McGovern-Undecided.
Telephone Campaign
The telephone campaign is now underway, albeit in varying degrees, in
every key state. Paid telephone coordinators have been hired in each
state, and the tasks of locating sites and recruiting phone center
chairmen have begun in every case. Maryland is leading with locations
and leaders for all four of the planned; California has about 30 of
their 45 sites established; Illinois has 12 out of 26; Ohio, 5 out of
18; Pennsylvania, 5 out of 30. The remainder are still in the early
stages of progress, but moving.
Data, Base Development
Tapes for counties are generally on schedule, and as problems arise
they are being dealt with quickly through close coordination with
various vendors.
Canvass/Telephone Operations
Canvass/telephone lists are on schedule. A meeting was held with
these groups to discuss timing. Interested parties also received
schedules, by state, for the completion of these lists.
We have sent letters to the Executive Directors in the key states
requesting names and addresses of individuals responsible for the
collection and shipment of the completed sheets.
Youth Mailing
Working closely with the November group, a draft letter, brochure
and volunteer card are being developed.

On Wednesday, September 7, the Advertising Advisory
Committee will meet here in Washington. It consists
of the chief executives of eight of the most promi-
nent advertising agencies in the United States.
They have been most helpful to us both in recruiting
personnel and in advising us on the development of
campaign procedures.
It would be most helpful and appreciated if you
could spend 30 minutes with the group and give
them your ideas on the campaign. Since it will
include a lunch, if it is possible for you to be
involved in that, it will be most appreciated.
The time will be between 9:30 and 2:00. Please
let me know what would be most convenient for you.

SUBJECT:
The McGovern Campaign
I received a call on Wednesday from Brian Seaman of National
Telephone Advertising Company. They are the firm which con-
ducted McGovern's telephone campaign in the California pri-
mary. They claim that 1,900,000 calls were completed during
that campaign.
The McGovern people told them that, after the primary, they
would discuss plans for the general campaign. No discussions
have taken place, however, and several meetings have been
cancelled. The vendor feels that McGovern is suffering
from both uncertainties in fund raising and delayed planning
for their fall programs. The situation is so bleak that the
company decided to market their services to the opposition.
Needless to say, we do not have plans to use National Tele-
phone Advertising Company in our campaign.

SUBJECT:
Grand Opening of the Committee for the Re-election of
The President National Storefront Headquarters
Our National Storefront Campaign Headquarters at 1730 Pennsylvania
Avenue is already operative. It is recommended that Mr. MacGregor
introduce the Headquarters to the media and to the general public
with a noon-hour ribbon-cutting ceremony and speakers program on
Friday, August 11. Our scheduling office confirms that Tricia
Nixon Cox will consider participating (probably to formally cut
the ribbon) and the Vice President will also consider a drop-by,
although his office will not approve using advance publicity of
his appearance. It is also recommended that, as a gesture of
courtesy, Francis Dale and Edward Nixon be invited to participate.
On checking the appropriate schedules, Friday, August 11, proves to
be the most suitable date. Additionally, our press office feels
Friday is a good news day and, by waiting until the 11th, the
McGovern Vice Presidential controversy will no longer be dominating
the news. However, Edward Nixon probably will not be able to
attend due to a speaking commitment.
Special plans for the event would include a brass or pop band per-
forming before the program from a small speaker's platform (ap-
proximately 8' X 12') built directly under the campaign head-
quarters sign. The band would lend atmosphere and enthusiasm to
the event and would also attract a crowd. Nixonettes in uniform
would circulate through the crowd passing out bumper stickers,
buttons, and campaign literature. We have been assured by the
November Group that adequate campaign materials will be available.
It is expected that a crowd can be drawn from a number of sources
including staff of CREP, the White House, and the RNC, as well as
the general public. Additionally, we can count on a concerted effort
by the Young Voters to turn out their members in large numbers.

PAGE 2
Pat Hutar and Nancy Steorts have agreed to contact all area Republican
women's organizations and we expect all other voter
bloc groups to be represented. Finally, a phone bank operation
could be set up beginning Monday, August 7, manned by volunteers
telephoning every Republican Congressional and Senatorial office
on Capitol Hill, as well as local Republican voters. It is recom-
mended that we not use handbills or posters to publicize the event
due to the possibility of demonstrators. In this case, internal
memos and phoning will be a more effective means of accomplishing
our goal. Our press office will handle all publicity and
media contact.
Since we anticipate a large crowd, it may be necessary to block
off several lanes on Pennsylvania Avenue between 17th and 18th
Streets for a short period of time. The police department has as-
certained that this is possible, but there is considerable "red tape"
involved. For this reason, an early decision is needed. It is also
necessary to obtain from City Hall a permit for speaking on public
space. The police department has assured cooperation and will provide
whatever help we need in terms of traffic control and security.
It is estimated that the total cost should be. less than $700 and
would include expenditures for a platform, a sound system and the
band.

executive directors, GOP state chairmen, co-chair-
men, and national committee members, with a cover
letter from Clark MacGregor;
500 Spanish language to Alex Armendaris for his use
in the Spanish speaking community and in the field;
1000 English to be divided up among 1701's division
directors for their use between now and November.
These would be used in much the same way as White
House staff members use Presidential pens, cufflinks,
etc.: to give to visitors to their offices, in the
field, as a reward for special favors, etc.

RE:
Gold Four Leaf Clovers
Accompanying this memorandum is a mailing box containing a gold
four leaf clover inscribed with the words "Good Luck" and bearing
the President's signature. The original intent was to send these items
to State Nixon Chairmen and Co-Chairmen, the total being approximately
120. The details of this were worked out with Mike Scott, Harry Flemming
and Jeb Magruder.
As I explained to you on the telephone today, I have discovered that the
source of these gold four leaf clovers is Bebe Rebozo, and he has told
the President that these items are being sent by the Committee to all
State, County, and local Nixon Chairmen. He has purchased approximately
2000 of these items, 500 of which are in Spanish. Apparently the President
is quite enthusiastic about sending these items out.
As I explained to Mr. Rebozo last week in California, it is my opinion that
these items are good devices for Clark MacGregor to establish contact
with all of the Chairmen with whom he will be working between now and
November. It is my thought that the paperweights should go out along
with an accompanying letter from Clark MacGregor with wording along
the lines of "The President has asked me to send to you "
Signed
Clark MacGregor. Mr. Rebozo offered the thought that they should go out
from the President, but I think there is a general agreement that we should
adhere to the original plan when we were talking about 120 of having them
go out from the campaign chairman. (Originally we were talking about
having the letter signed by John Mitchell.)
You indicated on the telephone today that you were in agreement with this
idea and that you would work out the details. If you will give me the
quantities that you require, I will insure that the appropriate number is
sent to you.
Thank you.

Proposed Meeting of the President
with Women
As we discussed last night, I think it would be quite beneficial and a real
morale boost for the President to meet with the top women involved in
the campaign. Those whom I would recommend be included in this group
are:
Pat Hutar
Director of Volunteers
Nancy Brataas
Director of Telephone Operation
Ann Dore
Manager of Communications
Barbara Franklin
White House Staff
This might be a good opportunity for Ann Armstrong to see the President,
and I would recommend she be included. I would suggest that Jeb Magruder
and I accompany these women on their visit with the President.
Please let me know your thoughts as to whether this can be done and the time.
Thank you.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. DAVID PARKER
FROM:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
SUBJECT:
Surrogate Conference
It is recommended that, after September 6, 1972, the President meet
with the surrogate candidates for the purpose of discussing their
role during the general campaign.
To our knowledge, with the exception of the Cabinet, the surrogates
have not met with the President to discuss the surrogate program.
If the meeting were scheduled on a weekend in early September, it
would be the last time, before Election Day, when all the participants
will be available. (The meeting should not be held on September 9,
1972, as nationwide voter registration activities will take place
on that date.)
The meeting would provide the surrogates with the psychological
motivation and desire to implement the Plan to the President's
satisfaction. In addition, it would provide the President with
the knowledge that the personal campaigning is in good hands.
We recommend that the meeting be attended by the President, senior
White House staff members, senior 1701 staff members, the 36
surrogate candidates and Sen. Dole. The surrogates' staff members
should not be invited.
The alternative locations for themmesting are:
Option 1. The Sequoia.
Option 2. The White House.
We would appreciate it 1f you would advise us whether this meeting
can be scheduled.

FROM:

Attached is our weekly report.
CONFIDENTIAL
ADVANCE
On Saturday July 22 Chad Everett of the "Medical Center" TV series
appeared at a "youth involvement" rally in Nashville, Tennessee
co-sponsored by the Young Voters for the President and the Baker
for Senate Committee. The total attendance was approximately 1,200
people. Had the Tour Office not had an advance team present, the
crowd probably would have been about 200 people. Senator Baker was
to have appeared on the program with Senator Brock, Chad Everett,
and Country and Western entertainers Roy Acuff and Mickey Newberry
but did not appear because of some complications with another meet-
ing he attended. Chad Everett was interviewed on WSM-TV and WLAC
radio. He was a guest on the Johnny Logan Show on WLAC radio. The
pre-event coverage was not extensive because local press releases
were sent to the papers from numerous sources. Our advance team
did not issue the releases. WSM-TV, WLAC-TV and WSIX carried the
event on their evening news programs. Chad Everett did a successful
"drop-by" at a local VA hospital where he was well-received by
numerous patients.
On Saturday July 22, Congressman Kemp was the principal banquet
speaker at the Indiana Young Republican Convention in Clarksville,
Indiana. The Tour Office sent an advanceman and expanded the event
to include a press conference. Nothing else could be scheduled due
to the lack of time. Congressman Kemp spoke to an audience of 300
Young Republicans and received a standing ovation prior to and after
the speech. Extra chairs had to be placed in the room to accommodate
the overflow crowd. Press coverage was excellent. The Louisville
Courier-Journal printed a favorable story in which the Congressman
mentioned the President several times.
The Tour Office schedule built and telephone advanced 20 events last
week.
As part of a continuing program to visit administrative assistants
and/or advancemen of surregates at least two times prior to the
Convention, the Tour Office met with one such staff last week. By
the end of the coming week the Tour Office will have met with all
but six of the surrogate staffs domiciled in Washington, D. C.
The Tour Office is bringing 25 volunteer advancemen to Washington on
July 29-30 for an intensive Advance School. A similar number of men
will come for an Advance School the following weekend. These 50 men
will be the nucleus of the surrogate advancemen. A copy of the agenda
for the first school is attached.

AGRICULTURE
USDA announced the 1973 wheat program, and it is expected to be
well received. For farmers it is a welcome change to have the
program announced before their winter wheat is in the ground.
The provisions, which call for idling five million acres more
land than in 1972, should be a price strengthening factor. This
is important since wheat is one of our soft spots among the agri-
cultural commodities.
Yeutter spoke this week to the following meetings:
1. The National Association of Farmer Committeemen (farmers who
help to administer the farm program)
2. The Agricultural Relations Council (a group of agricultural
public relations people).
3. The Illinois Farm Families for the President chairman and his
area chairmen.
Yeutter and Bill McMillan, Executive Secretary of the American
National Cattlemen's Association, met with John Whitaker and
Henry Cashen regarding some of the Administration's recent
actions which affect cattlemen. The industry is irate -- more
disturbed politically than it has been for a long time. The
first action -- to temporarily remove import quotas -- was rea-
sonably well received. The second action -- Secretary Shultz
encouraging exporting countries to increase their beef shipments'
to the U.S. -- was considered as rubbing salt in the cattleman's
wounds, and was greeted by much distress. The third action --
to impose export quotas on hides -- is not well understood, but
it turned out to be the last straw for many cattlemen. It simply
made them a little angrier than they were before.
Laura Walker, Foltz and Yeutter met with Claude Gifford, Director
of Information at USDA to discuss plans for placing articles in
farm magazines in the coming months. We've already begun to re-
ceive an affirmative feedback from some of the magazines which
were contacted by Laura.
Foltz and Yeutter spent considerable time working on drafts of
the agricultural platform.
Yeutter worked with Buck Byers in Finance to get an agribusiness
fund raising effort underway.

BLACKS
Field operations were initiated with Ed Sexton of RNC, who this
week began (part-time) functioning from the Black Voter Bloc
offices. For purposes of coordination, we recommend by memo office
procedures and operations, field staff contact reporting system and
state contact schedule.
We conferred with White House and RNC counterparts to discuss spe-
cifically field operations and convention planning and surrogate
program. In this connection, we also met with Stan Anderson and
Frank Herringer to discuss convention plans.
We were contacted by members of the Young Republicans Platform
Group for information on the Administration impact on Blacks.
Major issues oriented to the Black community were analyzed rela-
tive to the overall concerns of the Young Republicans.
We met with the General Counsel, Department of Treasury and Re-
election Committee's Director of Lawyers interests group and
developed a plan to enlist additional Black lawyers to serve on
overall Black Lawyers Committee for Nixon. Plans are to have a
reception honoring Pierce at the National Bar. Association Meet-
ing in Miami and invite select cross-section of attorneys across
the Nation with a view towards soliciting their support.
We followed through to insure maximum publicity for Administration's
publicity for Minority Bank Deposit Program accomplishments for
release by U.S. Treasury -- Black newspapers, radio stations were
informed.
We received Herchel Cannon, Black State Chairman for Arizona, to
discuss budget and organizational plans for his state.
We have finalized plans for recruiting Black volunteers to be used
by field staff in connection with city/state organization. We are
awaiting review with field staff for further input.
We represented the Re-election Committee on station WHUR's "Peoples
Platform" on Monday, July 17 to present a balanced point of view
against the Democrat representative.
We arranged with Tony McDonald the transfer of the responsibility
to prepare and distribute the Black Advance newsletter on amonthly
schedule up to September and bi-weekly through November.

BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
During the past week, three regional meetings were held in Boston,
Los Angeles, and Seattle. The attendance at all was good and a
great deal of enthusiasm was evidenced. Many seemed concerned,
however, regarding the possibility of overconfidence and, in some
cases, lack of precinct organization. Everyone felt the necessity
for planning for a difficult campaign and for the need for the
various spokesmen to disspell at every opportunity the feeling of
complacency.
Work is continuing on the appointment of Business Advisory Councils
with an objective date of September 1. After that date, all City
Chairmen must be ready to implement the program which has been out-
lined for them.
CITIZENS
The national committees of the CPA's, realtors, insurance agents and
automobile dealers are well underway toward forming their state
structures. Many state chairmen have been approved and are now in
the process of forming their individual state committees.
There have been some problems in this process and perhaps the most
pressing is the fact that many of the state chairmen, having once
begun to form their organizations, find themselves confused as to
the exact nature of their roles. To offset this, we have recommended
that the State Nixon Chairmen contact them in order to incorporate
them into the campaign efforts of the states in question. In this
manner, we avoid a delay which could cause dissatisfaction and the
states are able to incorporate additional volunteers. Other problems
such as duplication of efforts between 1701 and the state organiza-
tions are being corrected. The only question which remains to be
answered is the status of the Citizens' efforts in Wyoming.
Mr. Fred Rhodes, a prominent religious leader, is currently helping
to develop a viable plan for the clergy and laymen committee. A
memo of its conclusions and recommendations will be received by this
office no later than Friday, July 28. Dr. John McLaughlin of the
White House staff, will be providing a list of names from which we
will be enlisting the support of the Catholic groups.
Volunteer firemen are still proving to be a difficult group to
organize. Contact has been made with sevefal leaders who are
unanimous in their opinions that the benefits of such an organi-
zation would be minimal due to the fact there exist no national
organizations of volunteer firemen. There are state organizations,
but even these generally have enrollments of less than 50% of the
firemen.
-5-
Meetings with key men in the areas of Financial Institutions and
the Securities Industries were held July 19 and 20, respectively.
The Bankers will split into three separate committees, centering
on Commercial Banks, Mutual Savings Banks and Savings and Loan
Institutions. The National Committees will be selected this week.
Similarly, the Securities Industry will submit nominations for its
leadership during the coming week.
National Committees have been selected for Pharmacists, Optometrists,
Life Underwriters, the High Performance Industry, and Veterinarians.
These groups will meet this week and next.
The National Committee of Motorcyclists has not yet been nominated,
however, the group's meeting is tentatively scheduled for August 1.
A number of difficulties and opportunities have arisen with pilots.
They, are enthusiastic, but are reluctant to organize in accordance
with our pyramid scheme. Their strongest voice (and Pilot Co-
Chairman in the 1968 Nixon campaign) has suggested that they can
organize, influence 1,500,000 voters and raise a good deal of money
if we appoint one of their people as a full time coordinator and
provide him with an office, secretary and acoess to a WATS line.
The Finance Committee has expressed interest in tapping pilots for
donations and we have submitted to them a memo with pertinent in-
formation. Our recommendation is that the pyramid plan for aviation
be dropped and that we assist the Finance Committee in assembling a
"Name" Committee for use in a mass mailing and have commitment cards
included in that mailing.
Lack of availability of volunteer kits is now definitely hurting
our progress, as we are unable to put our State Chairmen to work
until we have them. It is requested that the November Group
expedite a first batch for us so that we can get going.
With the exception of the period when the State Chairmen were in
and we had the briefing at the Mayflower, almost no information
is reaching Field Directors about campaign plans, issues, strategy,
tactics, etc. We will need more information as time goes on if we
are to use citizens' structures to motivate people to vote for the
President in ways that fit in with the goals of the campaign.
Asian-Americans: Mr. Tad Ikemota, national Co-Chairman, agreed to
coordinate his efforts with those of the California Asian-American
committee. Prospective regional chairmen Have been selected by
Messrs. Woo and Ikemoto.
Community Leaders: The national committee met July 20, selecting
Robert Cronk as National Chairman and Judge William Walk as national
Vice Chairman. Past executive officers of nine national unit groups
-6-
are represented: Jaycees, Rotary International, Rotarian, Lion,
Sertoma, Civitan, Kiwanis, Young President's Organization and
Optimists. The national committee plans a similar representa-
tion of civic groups in each of the 50 states based on the
national model.
Indians: National key men met July 19 to consider names for a
national committee of Indians as well as define goals and a
workable national organization. Martin Seneca and Neal McCaleb
will serve as national Vice-Chairmen. The group proposed estab-
lishing a plan to enlist support for the President at the National
Council of Indians assembly in Eugene, Oregon, August 6-11.
Travel Agents: National key men are scheduled to meet July 26.
SPANISH-SPEAKING
This week we met with the November Group to review copy strategy for
media and graphic campaign materials. Attending the meeting was
Spanish-speaking media consultant, Ernesto Cervera and Committee's
Spanish-speaking Coordinator, Diana Lozano.
We met with Bill Rhatican to review White House and Campaign Com-
mittee publicity coordination with Carlos Conde and Bill Marumoto.
Met with Pete Villa, President of the LULAC, and Joe O'Campo, Ex-
ecutive Director of SER, to develop a. program for publicizing SER
accomplishments under this Administration.
We met with Tony Rodriguez and William Marumoto to organize plans
for the upcoming public release of endorsements of the President
by six Spanish-speaking Democrats.
Met with Dan Piliero to organize Spanish-speaking Lawyers Committee
for Nixon; 7 will serve as Co-Chairmen and 25-50 will serve on com-
mittees. The Spanish-Speaking Task Force was asked to assist in the
selection of the Spanish-speaking lawyers for the committee.
We met with Ollie Olivas, Director of the Southwest Council of La
Raza, to review their forthcoming conference and to develop the
speakers' agenda.
Frank Almaguer testified before the Human Concerns Sub-Committee of
the Young Republican Federation Platform Committee and discussed
the President's record of accomplishments toward Spanish-speaking
citizens.
We have briefed the following state chairmen (Spanish-speaking)
California, Illinois, Missouri, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and
Maryland.

SPOKESMEN RESOURCES
We have met with Senator Brock, Senator Buckley, Senator Cook,
Mr. Finch, Senator Goldwater, Senator Gurney, Senator Javits,
Mr. Klein, Mrs. Knauer, Secretary Morton, Mr. Ruckelshaus and
Mr. Rumsfeld, and/or members of their staffs, to discuss the
theory of the Attack Plan, and to present their proposed sched-
ules for September and October. In addition, we are further
revising the Attack Plan to reflect the suggestions made by
these individuals.
We have met with Bill Carruthers, Dwight Chapin, Bill Timmons and
members of the Republican National Committee and White House staff
to discuss the proposed program of events at the Republican National
Convention.
We staged an event in Nashville, at the home of Pat Wilson, in honor
of ou, committed celebrities in the American Music for the President
program. Senator Brock and Mr. Rumsfeld were in attendance.
We attended the Bob Hope/Red Cross Rapid City Telethon at the Morris
Mechanic Theatre in Baltimore, Maryland, Saturday evening, to assist
committed celebrities for the President, and t'o recruit new celeb-
rities for the re-election campaign.
TRANSIENT
The overseas organizational effort was completed this week with the
formation of Re-election Committees in Hong Kong, Japan, the philip-
pines and Australia. Identification of favorable resident citizens
and fund raising activities are now underway in twenty foreign
countries.
Planning for the special ballot element of the voter identification-
voter turnout canvasses is proceeding space with twenty state special
ballot chairmen now in place and functioning. Preparation of special
materials and training guides is on schedule and will be ready for
the state training sessions being conducted during August.
A detailed plan implementing the career military voter program has
been developed including an advertising program and a direct mail
plan. The 168 largest military installations in the country have
been identified and volunteers are now being recruited for events
at these bases in September and October.

ACTION MEMO
Somebody, probably Clark MacGregor, must make a strong public
statement praising George Wallace as a great patriot, and for his
strong stand on defense in contrast to those who are trying to
hamstring the President in this area. He should be congratulated
for putting the country above party and for the concrete contribution
that he's made to the debate, and that while his voice was not heard
at the Democratic Convention, it will receive a full hearing at the
Republican Convention.
The basic thing is to get across to him the fact that he has been
heard.

SUBJECT:
MacGregor's Alan Emory Luncheon
at National Press Club - July 27
A review of the newspapers represented at the Alan Emory
luncheon produced only two articles which refer to MacGregor's
remarks on George Wallace. The articles by Dick Ryan of
The Detroit News and by Don Irwin of the Los Angeles Times
are attached at Tab A.
The Los Angeles Times article does not mention MacGregor's
statements regarding Wallace. However, The Detroit News
article quotes MacGregor: "I know the President feels and
feels strongly that Governor Wallace's position on main-
taining a strong military defense is absolutely the right
position". This seems to correspond with your July 13

Action Memorandum (attached at Tab B) suggesting MacGregor
make a strong public statement praising George Wallace as
a great patriot, and for his strong stand on defense.

The attached clipping from Don Irwin of the L.A. Times and the
piece by Richard Ryan which appeared in the Detroit News are
the only news stories that Mort Allin has been able to find.
It would appear that they are the only stories that came out
of the Alan Emory luncheon group appearance by Clarke MacGregor.

MEMORANDUM
July 31, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE CLARK MacGREGOR
THROUGH:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
FROM:
PETER DAILEY
SUBJECT:
Democrats for Nixon
Attached is a recommendation on how Democrats for
Nixon advertising should be handled. I believe
this is one of the most important decisions regarding
advertising that will be made during the campaign.
The greatest opportunities for mistakes and bad
judgement affecting the President lie in advertising
directed against George McGovern. Advertising for
Democrats for Nixon must rely almost completely on
negative advertising. The Committee and the
approval process with the Administration which has
already been established, cannot afford to delegate
this most crucial judgement area to others.
I strongly request your endorsement Stutain of this document.
DEMOCRATS FOR NIXON
ADVERTISING GUIDELINES
This is to recommend advertising guidelines for the now-
forming Democrats for Nixon Committee:
1. The advertising objective should be to persuade
traditional hardline Democrats to vote for Richard
Nixon in November. Care should be taken that this
objective is not diluted by other less vital goals.
For example, no attempt should be made to gain converts
to the Republican party -- this is too big a jump to
ask most people to take and it would take years to
accomplish.
No attempt should be made to persuade Democrats to
vote the Republican line. Its too tough a sale.
It will happen in many cases, anyhow.
No attempt should be made to broaden the Committee
to include traditional ticket splitters and/or
independents. The Committee to Re-elect will be
concentrating most of its energies on this group.
The Democrats for Nixon should concentrate on
Democrats.
2. The basic thrust of the advertising message should be:
Senator McGovern does not reflect the philosophy
of most Democrats or of most Americans. He
is leading the party in the wrong direction
and would the country as well.
It is necessary that you (the Democrat) put
country ahead of of party in 1972.
Richard Nixon more adequately represents the
philosophy of the American people. He has
been a good President and deserves support.
Advertising copy must be restrained both in condemnation
of McGovern and praise of the President. There is no
need to resort to excess emotionalism, distortion, or
innuendo to point out the dangers of a McGovern admin-
istration. His positions on defense, welfare, taxes,
and peace terms are in conflict with the thinking of
most Democrats and should simply be exposed as such.
-2-
On the other hand, overly lavish praise of the President
will probably turn the target audience off faster than
you can say Democrats for Nixon. Remember, these are
Democrats. Many of them can be persuaded to vote for
the President because they honestly believe he is the
better candidate. But we can't expect them to be happy
about the situation that has forced this choice.
3. Advertising should be concentrated in the ten top
priority states as defined elsewhere.
4. Advertising should be prepared by the November Group. This
group is:
fully operational and equipped to handle this
project without major staff additions.
Thoroughly familiar with McGovern, his positions
on major issues, the points on which he and the
President differ, and the accomplishments of the
Nixon administration as they' relate to McGovern's
proposals and charges.
Thoroughly familiar with the numerous require-
ments of the Federal Elections Campaign Spending
Act and completely staffed and systemized to
handle same,
and most importantly -
in a position to be able to control all paid
communications on behalf of the re-election
campaign and therefore decide which organization
is better suited to advance a line of attack on
McGovern, what form this attack should take,
when it should be done and how.
5. Advertising should be approved through the existing channels,
i.e., the Campaign Director, and the White House, with the
addition of a key member of Democrats for Nixon.
POLITICAL ACTION MEMORANDUM
On the target list presented at the staff meeting the other day,
we omitted Catholic, ethnics, and old folks. Both of these are
much more important than Jewish or Black, which are listed as
targets.
We should forget about a massive effort with the Blacks. It's okay
to talk about it and cover it on a general public basis, but it is not
something that we should put any effort against, because it is counter-
productive.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
AL SNYDER
Jeb Magruder and I have screened the video tape of John Connally's press
conference where the formation of the Democrats for the President was
announced.
The film of Connally's statement can be edited into a 5 minute package
and ABC News is willing to make the film available to the Committee for
this purpose. There is some question as to whether a network would make
a 5 minute prime time segment available but an unofficial sounding with
network officials indicates that there is a chance that one of the major
networks would buy it. The cost for a 5 minute commercial would be between
$15 and $25,000 with a possible editing charge of another $3 to $5,000 so
that the 5 minute spot could be made available. Estimated prime time
audience during the summer would be in the range of 8 million households.
The networks would need at least four days advance notice in order to make
room for this tape in its regular program schedule.' Therefore, a time slot
beginning Wednesday of next week would be the earliest, feasible time we
could shoot for.
Jeb feels that the Connally statement by itself would not make an effective
TV presentation and questions whether the project should be undertaken. On
Wednesday of next week a full page ad will appear in over 60 newspapers in
14 major states announcing Democrats for Nixon. Both Jeb and the November
Group feel that this is a more effective way of continuing the momentum
of Democrats for Nixon.
The Connally press conference could be put into a 5 minute radio spot which
could be provided next week. The cost and audience would depend on the
placement.

The 1968 campaign was waged in the classic partisan tradition of
American politics. The Democrat Party had controlled the government for
eight years. The Republican Party had sat in opposition and was ready for
a strong challenge.
The Johnson administration -- though in control of the executive and
legislative branches -- had promised to end virtually all ills and had failed
miserably. It had not dealt with mounting racial and sectional dissent. It
had drastically escalated an unpopular war and alienated a majority of the
met to choose
country. When the Democrats final ly chose their nominees -- after a tumultous
primary season and a tragic assassination of one candidate -- they met riots
in Chicago.
In contrast, the Republican primaries were vigorous but peaceful. The
party left its convention in Miami Beach united behind former Vice President
Richard Nixon and Maryland Gov. Spiro Agnew.
Another element was added to the '68 story with the third party candidacy
of Alabama Gov. George Wallace.
When election day results were tallied, the 37th President received
the electoral votes of 32 states to Humphrey's 14, and Wallace's five. But for
the first time since 1848, a new President had not won either house of Congress.
President Nixon began his first term with a call to the nation "to join
in a high adventure
We have endured a long night of the American spirit.
But as our eyes catch the dimness of the first rays of dawn, let us not
curse the remaining dark. Let us gather the light."
One of the overriding issues of the Sixties was Vietnam. The President
over four years moved on two fronts to bring peace. First, he reversed the
Johnson policy of American dominance in the war and instituted the Vietnamization
program to turn over fighting responsibility to the South Vietnamese. By
-2-
mid-1972, more than 90 percent of American troops had been withdrawn from
Vietnam; casualties were at less than 5 percent of the 300 per week rate in
1968; spending was down two-thirds and only volunteers were being sent to
the war zone.
The President also worked at the negotiating table. He offered several
in
alternate plans to the enemy at the Paris Peace Talks He enlisted the
assistance of other governments in the search for possible solutions. But
he refused to hand the North Vietnamese what they could not win on the
battlefield -- control of the government and people of the South.
Although throughout his first Administration, President Nixon was
concerned with Vietnam, it did not dominate his foreign policy. In his in-
augural address, the President spoke of a new "era of negotiation" which was
to become the thrust of a whole new approach to foreign policy.
In carrying forward his Nixon Doctrine, he broke new ground toward cooling
off the "cold war" between the free world and the communist bloc. He was the
first President to visit communist countries in Eastern Europe -- notably
Poland, Yugoslavia and Romania -- and he sealed historic arms control agreements
with the Soviet Union during a fast-paced summit conference in Moscow.
A most significant move by President Nixon was his reopening of communications
with communist China after a 20-year silence on both sides. His week-long
"journey for peace" to the People's Republic of China heralded a new beginning
of new relations between the two, historically friendly peoples.
Despite an opposition Congress that defeated or dawdled over Republican
legislation, President Nixon made new inroads in domestic affairs. The
climax of his "New American Revolution" was the State of the Union Address
in 1971, in which he-outlined the "six great goals" for the 92nd Congress:
Welfare reform, health care expansion, environmental protection, peacetime
prosperity, revenue sharing and government reorganization.
-3-
All approaches to these and other problems were new. They emphasized
the long-held belief of Republicans that the federal government should point
the way but enlist the support of states, localities and citizens in a common
effort to solve the nation's problems. To improve health care, for example,
the President proposed a new system that would depend on the resources of
existing institutions, not set up new bureaucracies in the capital. To
reduce federal control from Washington, he proposed a system of revenue sharing
to give greater flexibility to the states and cities in meeting unique,
local problems.
Preparing the way for a peacetime economy, the President acted boldly
slow
in August 1971 to halt inflation, stimulate investment and more jobs and
expand trade overseas. By the half-way point in 1972, economists unanimously
heralded the beginnings of a new boom, not dependent on a war-dominated economy.
President Nixon's first term in office called on America's best in
meeting old problems -- such as foreign relations and government spending --
and new problems -- such as improving the environment and stemming the flow
of illicit drugs. His Administration had more minorities, women and young
people in top staff positions than ever before. The negative, pessimistic
"night of the American spirit" was giving way to "the first rays of dawn."
The Republican Party, too, shared in the reawakening of the American
spirit, and expanded its efforts to include all who wished for an imaginative,
innovative government. President Nixon summed up the GOP's approach in the
'70s when he dedicated the party's new home in the Eisenhower Republican
Center:
"Ours should be a party of the open door -- open to all people,
all parties, all faiths, all races. That is the kind of party
that we are and that we shall be in the years ahead."

same day. In this manner, David Packard feels that we can
earn between $500,000 and $600,000 from San Francisco; and
Ed Carter, our Los Angeles Dinner Chairman, feels he could
raise $1,500,000 from Los Angeles. The total take resulting
from this exercise should be in excess of $2,000,000, or near-
1y double what a New York appearance would bring.
The President agreed some months ago to participate in the
event. In the past, he has spoken several times at such af-
fairs from New York; but in view of the political situation
1
in California, and particularly Northern California, we strong-
ly endorse this request and urge a decision before Friday,
August 11, so that adequate planning for both events may be
implemented.
While this will be a disappointment to Lasker and his asso-
ciates in New York, we will ask the Vice President to appear
there and that should suffice.
P. will do This - Many
