THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
November 1, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. HALDEMAN
FROM:
KEN KHACHIGIAN De
I don't believe that any votes will be determined in the last
days by trying to move out via the President any more of the
McGovern record. If we have succeeded in anything, it is the
tarring of McGovern with his radical positions.
What is needed, I believe, in the President's last appearances
is to draw the line against what are the weak links in the McGovern
campaign technique -- which technique has most likely served to turn
off as many voters as his radical positions. Namely, his shrillness;
his excessive moralism; his arrogance in thinking he represents good
while RN represents evil; his hot rhetoric; and, the bottom line of
it all, the implied imputation of low motives to the millions of Americans
who can't buy his extremism.
I would hope that the election eve speech could deal with these matters
primarily, and secondarily with some of the substantive issues. We
are dealing with an interesting situation in that I think RN has been
overplayed by the media and by the opposition as an unloved, divisive
figure in America. Rather, I think the situation is much like the one
in 1966 where LBJ took a cheap shot at RN and where RN responded in one
of his most effective television speeches ever.
Frankly, the American public must be tired of the preacher and
the harsh language he has used. Let's use this opportunity to turn it all
against him by drawing the issue that McGovern is not maligning RN, but
is really maligning America.
Have attached some language that might be used to this effect the
basic purpose of which is to motivate people to stand up against McGovern
and to get out to the polls.

SUGGESTED REMARKS -- CAMPAIGN TELEVISION ADDRESS
My fellow Americans:
Tomorrow you vote in what I believe to be the most important presi-
dential election in which I have participated. The choice you will make is
a choice which will determine the direction of our nation in the years
ahead.
Tonight, I wish to discuss the choice which lies before you. But more
than that, I want to look beyond the narrow partisan concern of who will win
tomorrow to the question of whether America will win in the years ahead.
In this campaign, my first responsibility has been the fulfillment of
my duties as your President. When time has allowed, I have traveled the
country to bring my candidacy to the people.
I think you will agree with me that as leader of his party, it is in the
best American tradition for the President to defend what he believes to be
right in his Administration, and, where the situation warrants, to caution
against that which he believes to be wrong in the positions of his opponent.
I thank you for allowing me the honor of serving you these last four
years and want to express to you the deep pride I have in representing the
greatest and most powerful country on this earth. With the most profound
respect, I ask you to let me complete a task only just begun.
-2-
Four years ago, Americans suffered from a crisis of the spirit. We
were deep in a war without victory or resolution thousands of miles from
our shores. There appeared to be no end in sight.
Our cities were seen too often in the smoke of riot and crime. Our
relations with allies were strained and uncertain, and the Soviet Union and
the Peoples' Republic of China appeared always to be the potential parties of
confrontation rather than the necessary partners in negotiation.
There were, indeed, problems almost unbearable to face, but neverthe-
less we had to face them. On dozens of fronts we moved into action to resolve
the crisis of the spirit and mobilize the forces of peace instead of the armies
of war.
But America had another face four years ago, because we know America
has never been the country which a few vocal cynics have sought to make it
out to be.
Four years ago, millions of citizens across the United States were
engaged in a productive life. They went to work, raised their families,
paid their taxes, and believed, as I think the vast majority of Americans
do, that America is a great and good country.
Four years ago, the greatness of the American people was not crushed;
it was merely hidden -- hidden by a strain of self-doubt, fed by many who
believed we were sick and unworthy.
-3-
We have begun to resolve that crisis of the spirit, but our work is not
yet done.
As we near our nation's 200th birthday, we still see self-doubt and a
questioning of America's will.
There are still those who proclaim our country is sick and decadent - -
that our goals are unmet and our problems unsolved.
Others say that America has lost her way, that our society is repressive
and racist or imperialistic and reactionary. It is said that we are so tainted
by national illness that we have lost our will to be great.
And still others look at America as corrupt and rotten, our values
distorted, our institutions crumbling, and our determination defeated.
This is all nonsense. What a waste it is to wallow in guilt and self-
flagellation, to tear at our confidence and stain our resolve.
My fellow Americans, the United States of America did not come all
this way on the energy of defeatism and despair.
For too many, the wish is father to the thought. If they speak long
enough and loudly enough of decadence, we will believe ourselves to be
decadent. If they tell us often enough that we are sick, we truly may think so.
Weep for America? I can't agree. We have too much to do to indulge
such weakness.
Consider this for a moment; if we had but half our wealth; if our cities
did not gleam with tall buildings and our farms produce in full abundance; if
we did not have high technology and sophisticated machinery; if we did not
-4- -
have all these, we would still have our most precious asset -- the will
and tenacity of the American people to take themselves beyond limiting
boundaries.
If we lose our will or weaken our resolve, we do not deserve the
mantle of greatness.
But if we retain our self-confidence -- the confidence that sustained us
from a hot summer's day in Independence Hall to the marvel of Apollo XVI --
the future will hold still more promises of majesty for this great and good
nation of ours.
I recall the last conversation I had with President DeGaulle of France,
not long before his death. He said this to me: "France was her true self
only when she was engaged in a great enterprise. 11 General DeGaulle, a
patriot, and a great leader of his country had also spoken words which are
apt for America for we are our true self only when we are engaged in a
great enterprise.
I must report to you in all candor that in the last few weeks too much
has been said to divide America instead of uniting it in a great enterprise.
In the past weeks, our country has suffered one of the most abusive
and reckless assaults ever waged in a presidential campaign.
More than a generation ago, we fought to keep our freedom and the
world's peace against the most hated and feared dictator in our memory --
Adolph Hitler. Today, the opposition insults the American people by comparing
-5-
what we do to the hated regime of Nazi Germany. Such a lack of
respect for the American people is, I believe, symptomatic of a philosophy
which arrogates unto itself a moral superiority.
The President of the United States is not like Adolph Hitler. Americans
are not the "barbarians" that we have been portrayed to be for assisting
in the defense of a small nation whose only sin is that it does not wish to
be destroyed by aggression.
I regret the divisiveness which has been introduced into this campaign.
We should be able to listen without being shouted at. We do not need the
deplorable name-calling and reckless charges. The nation is not venal,
corrupt, and immoral.
Such charges have impugned the integrity of good men. The half-truths
have diminished the good name of honorable public servants. And the broad
overstatement has undeservedly imputed low motives to the American people.
I would not be concerned if these attacks were directed only at
Richard Nixon. After all, I have made politics my career, and I am
accustomed to be the recipient of political attack.
But when the assault is on the very decency and sensibilities of the
American public, we must all be concerned. I firmly believe that such
excesses of rhetoric are aimed at the millions of Americans who have
steadfastly rejected surrender abroad and retreat from stability at home.
-6-
I am proud of the American political system. It is without equal
in the world for its honesty and goodwill. But heated and excessive
language cheapens our political tradition and puts it under severe stress.
Excessive moralism and zealousness has tainted politics this year.
You are not war-mongers if you believe in our commitment to Southeast
Asia and in a strong national defense.
You are not racist if you want your child to have the best quality of
education without having to be bussed miles to a strange neighborhood.
You are not repressive if you believe that we must have strong and
effective law enforcement that respects the rights of victims and society
every bit as much as those of the criminal.
You are not sick if you believe that America is a strong and good
country.
You are not heartless and unconcerned if you believe that we have a
welfare system which needs drastic reform, or if you believe that there
is more dignity in work than there ever can be in welfare payments.
No, my fellow Americans, I have a faith in America that is not lessened
by irresponsible charges upon my motives or upon the motives of millions
of my fellow citizens. We must be able today to have strong convictions
without being called names, without being attacked as corrupt or sick or
racist or murderous.
-7-
I have made many difficult and painful decisions as your President.
It has not been easy, but I did not ask for a term of ease. Nevertheless,
I believe I made the right decisions for America. Whether it was my
decision to order the mining of the harbors of North Vietnam, or to ask
for sweeping governmental reform -- I made the decision which I held in
firm conviction to be the right course for the United States.
My motives often came under the most direct of attacks. I can say
in confidence tonight that it was the strength of the American people -- the
great ent majority of Americans -- which carried me through in the
times of difficulty.
Each time I was guided by a central principle -- to think more of my
country than myself. And tonight I do not doubt for a moment that when
we are confronted with adversity, Americans always think more of their
country than they think of themselves.
Thus, I am troubled by those who wish to impose their rigid philosophies
on all Americans. This campaign is not between good and evil as some have
asserted in a broad claim on moral rectitude. It is not between those who
are moral and those who are immoral. I do not claim superior morality,
but I will not descend to an attack on the motives of anyone who holds his
opinions firmly.
-8-
At the core of your decision tomorrow is the question of whether those
who insult and impugn Americans and their motives will succeed in diverting
you from the most important issues ever raised in a presidential campaign.
So my fellow Americans, I believe that the most important message
I have for you tonight is a commitment. The Vice President and I ask
you not to love America because she is perfect; but to love her because
she is perfectable.
We ask for the votes of the millions of Americans who work hard
and pay taxes and raise their children, and we say to you: "Let us keep
going for there is work to be done. 11
We ask those who have built this country with their sweat and their
hands and their prayers: "Come with us; our work must continue. "
We ask the young and the old and people of every heritage: "If we
do not work for America now, when will we ever work for her?"
We ask all Americans regardless of their political affiliation: "Come
join us; our work is not partisan; it is America's work. 11
We ask that the New Majority come together in a beacon from coast
to coast and border to border because the work we will do is for tomorrow,
the day after, and for the history which generations from now may judge
us as gracious and good, but humble and kind.
-9-
Let us resolve to put our doubts on the run. Let us not be satisfied
with where we are, but concerned about where we are going. And on our
way let us proceed with confidence, compassion, fortitude and love.
Each time I leave America to visit a foreign country, I meet thousands
of children; often they are the children or grandchildren of the leaders with
whom I conduct business. And always we discuss the future that will be
shaped for our children and their children. Whether those young people
be in Moscow and Peking or in California and New York; what we do is ultimately
for their sake.
The stakes will not diminish tomorrow, and there can be no apathy. The
choice is too clear and too important. Consequently, I am asking that all
Americans get out to vote. Each vote is a precious personal hand on the
levers of power. In many respects the vote you cast tomorrow is a vote to
preserve not one man or his political party; rather it is a vote for the
direction of our nation. We can either rest in the satisfaction of things as
they will be or we can rise up in larger numbers than ever before and
reaffirm America's greatness by voting to reaffirm the blessings of her
values.

QUOTATION ON THE PROBLEM OF APATHY
For those who are willing to submit to apathy, they should be mindful
of the words of the French political philosopher, Montesquieu:
"The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so
dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in
a democracy. 11

The Helms senate race in North Carolina is looking better

two points ahead of Galifianakis, and the Republican poll
shows Helms running several points ahead--all of this
coming from the state GOP chairman. Also, Holshouser is
very close in the governor's race but running slightly
behind. I suggest again that North Carolina would be a good

FROM:
MURRAY CHOTINER
For what it is worth -- here is a report from someone
who is knowledgeable and travelling through the South.
I can give you the name orally by phone if it matters.
Alabama
Based on a sample of registered voters, Sparkman has
55%, Blount has 31% with 14% undecided.
John LeFlore, the candidate of the predominantly Black
National Democratic Party of Alabama could cut deeply into
Sparkman votes if he can increase his exposure in the
next few weeks. It appears that Wallace will set this
one out due to health, disdain for Sparkman and his
possible Democratic position in 1976.
One of only two actions could cause a traumatic impact
to Blount's election: (1) a visit to Alabama by President
Nixon endorsing Blount with expectant statewide TV expo-
sure, (2) a George Wallace endorsement (not likely).
Georgia
Superficial indications are for a close race; however,
Nunn (D) has support from the Blacks and George Wallace
people that worked with him for the governor in the state
of Georgia. Voting procedures in Georgia will also
enhance Nunn in that the presidential election is a
separate ballot.
H. R. Haldeman
October 13, 1972
Page - 2 -
Louisiana
Looks bleak for Ben Toledano (R). He currently polls
20% and needs financing. Balance of votes appear split
between John J. McKeithen (Ind.) with good financial
sources and Bennett Johnson (D) who was a state senator
and lost governor's race by five thousand votes.
Mississippi
Jim Eastland appears strong and impregnable.
Overall issues in the foregoing states in order of
voiced priority are:
1.
Cost of living (basic fundamental)
2.
Employment and minority quota systems
3.
Crime
4.
Welfare handouts
5.
Vietnam.

Enclosed is a copy of the proposed telegram.
He needs an okay to use the President's name. Can

They need an answer immediately in order to print
the "telegram" and get it in the mail. There
will be 150,000 mailed, primarily in what is
known as the "little Dixie" section of Oklahoma.
A recent poll showed 1,454 votes. The President
received 1,101 and McGovern 353. The mailing
contains a boost from the President and should

Aso
The GOP in South Carolina is grooming a good candidate for
the Sixth Congressional District seat of defeated incumbent
John McMillan. This seat should be added to the list of
the top ten potential pickups.
The GOP candidate is Ed Young, of Florence. He is a former
Democrat, member of the State House, and is "Farmer of the
Year." Young has been doing a daily television program
for farmers, and is an executive with the Federal Land Bank
System. He is South Carolina chairman of Farmers for
President Nixon. Young is associated with Coble dairies
and would be a good friend to the dairies nationally.

SUBJECT:
Senate Races
Our Senate prospects have not improved because our southern
candidates are not showing up as well as they should with
the coattail opportunity. If the coattails work, they
could come through. The state Democrat leaders are putting
everything on these races and screaming about southern
chairmanships. Also, they're trying to get Wallace
campaigning for them. Labor help is coming through too,
and our people are short on funds.
We should not lose any present seats except South Dakota,
where we can win. Help is needed there to elect a good
conservative and keep out another McGovern. Also, Griffin
needs constant care in Michigan.
Our best pickup possibilities are Rhode Island, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, North Carolina and Alabama -- in that order.
Montana is a long shot.
SENATE RACES
Alabama: Sen. John Sparkman (D) is favored, but scared.
Republican Winton Blount is closing the gap with good
momentum. The National Democratic Party of Alabama (NDPA)
has a black candidate and a list of McGovern electors on
the ballots enabling voters to vote a straight NDPA
ticket. This will help if this gets known to blacks.
Blount has some black vote. If coattails help enough,
Blount can win.
Alaska: Sen. Ted Stevens (R) won an impressive primary
and should win. Democrat Gene Guess is not showing
the strength that was expected.
Arkansas: Sen. John McClellan (D) should win. Republican
Wayne Babbitt, ex-HUD director, is gaining in the polls
but has poor organization and slow campaign effort. The
issue of age appears to have strong appeal, but will not
be enough.
Colorado: Sen. Gordon Allott (R) should win. However,
Democrat Floyd Haskell is a good and determined candidate.
Delaware: Sen. J. Caleb Boggs (R) is favored but could
have trouble. His campaign is slow and state GOP
officials are concerned. Democrat Joseph Biden is proving
to be an effective, aggressive campaigner with a good
organization. He stays away from McGovern.
Georgia: Sen. David Gambrell (D) was unseated in a run-
off election by Sam Nunn, a young wealthy state legislator
whom Maddox and black leaders LeRoy Johnson and Julian Bond
endorsed in primary. Republican Cong. Fletcher Thompson
drew tougher opponent. However, Maddox now supposedly for
Thompson covertly. This one rated less likely than North
Carolina and Alabama. Thompson trying to hang McGovern on
Nunn and being charged with running on race.
Page Two
Idaho: Sen. Len B. Jordan (R) is retiring. Cong. Jim
McClure has won the GOP nomination receiving 46,500
votes out of 127,000 in a four-way race. The Democrat
is state university president Bud Davis who won strong
in a primary. McClure is favored, but this is going to
be harder than expected.
Illinois: Sen. Charles H. Percy (R) is showing increasing
strength and should win. The state GOP is stressing the
unity of the Republican ticket. Nixon, Ogilvie, Percy and
Scott are pictured as a winning combination. The Democrat
is Cong. Roman Pucinski.
Iowa: Sen. Jack Miller (R) won the primary with little
difficulty and should win the election. The Democrat is
Dick Clark.
Kansas: Sen. James Pearson (R) should win. Democrat
Dr. Arch Tetzlaff is expected to be little more than a
nuisance candidate.
Kentucky: Sen. John Sherman Cooper (R) is not seeking
re-election. The state Democrat administration is putting
its effort on the Senate race, and Dee Huddleston has a
good media campaign. However, Republican Louie Nunn is
favored with good campaign tied into our Re-elect operation.
Louisiana: Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D) deceased. Conservative
Democrat Bennett Johnston, who just missed governor nomination,
should win. Ex-governor John McKeithen is attempting to
qualify as an Independent (he needs 1,500 signatures of
registered Independents by September 30), but he may not
succeed because there are so few registered Independents.
The A.I.P. candidate is Hall Lyons (son of Charlton Lyons).
Republican Ben Toledano is behind with little name
recognition outside of New Orleans. His only chance lies
with coattails and a big media campaign which he can't
afford.
Page Three
Maine: Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (R) is running a low-
key campaign and showing high in the polls. She should
win. Democrat William Hathaway is not running as strong
a campaign as expected.
Massachusetts: Sen. Edward Brooke (R) is walking away
with it. Democrat John Droney has little name recognition,
and his campaign has had little effect as yet.
Michigan: Sen. Robert P. Griffin (R) is favored, but this
could develop into a very close race. The Democrat is
Attorney General Frank Kelley. The difference should be
RN coattails and anti-busing.
Minnesota: Sen. Walter Mondale (D) should win. His
popularity is high, even among Republicans. Republican
Phil Hansen, a Lutheran minister, who is known for his
work with drug addicts and alcoholics, could do better
than expected.
Mississippi: Sen. James O. Eastland (D) should win.
Republican Gil Carmichael is a good candidate in an
impossible situation. He cannot expect more than 40%
with all of the breaks.
Montana: Sen. Lee Metcalf (D) is favored. Republican
Henry S. Hibbard is expected to make this a close race,
but his campaign has been slow in starting. The busing
issue could hurt Metcalf. May be a sleeper for us.
Nebraska: Sen. Carl Curtis (R) has problems, but he is
favored. Democrat Terry Carpenter is coming on strong
with labor support and a good media campaign. He has
good name recognition and could make this a close race.
Recent poll results indicate a lack of RN coattails.
New Hampshire: Sen. Thomas McIntyre (D) is favored.
Republican Wesley Powell is behind in poll, but this
could be close. Loeb is going all out.
Page Four
New Jersey: Sen. Clifford P. Case (R) should win.
Democrat Paul Krebs is not proving to be an effective
candidate.
New Mexico: Sen. Clinton Anderson (D) is retiring.
Democrat Jack Daniels and Republican Pete Domenici are
very close -- 50-50. Domenici is a viable candidate
who could make it with coattails. Lost for governor in
1970. One of our best hopes.
North Carolina: Sen. Everett Jordan (D) was upset by
Cong. Nick Galifianakis who is conducting a strong
campaign and is now favored. Republican Jesse Helms is
getting good exposure with national figures and could
win. However, it's been tough getting him from far
right to center, where Galifianakis is appearing to be.
Our man not as good a politician. Coattails could do it
for us.
Oklahoma: Sen. Fred Harris (D) is not seeking re-election.
Congressman Ed Edmondson handily won the Democrat primary.
Republican Dewey Bartlett has come from behind to 50-50.
Coattails could do it, and Bartlett is seeking them in
every way.
Oregon: Sen. Mark Hatfield (R) is favored but his
campaign is poorly organized and there is much resentment
towards him among GOP voters for not helping RN on
Vietnam. Democrat Wayne Morse is conducting a low
visability campaign but is closing on Hatfield.
Rhode Island: Sen. Claiborne Pell (D) has been trailing
badly in the polls but is starting to show strength.
Republican John Chafee is conducting an aggressive and
effective campaign, but this could be closer than expected.
Chafee favored for our No. 1 pickup.
South Carolina: Sen. Strom Thurmond (R) should win.
Democrat Nick Ziegler is aggressive and attacks Thurmond
every day, especially for going into North Carolina to
help Helms.
Page Five
South Dakota: Sen. Karl Mundt (R) retiring. The Republican
is Bob Hirsch who is running an aggressive campaign and will
make this a close race. The Democrat is Cong. James
Abourezk, to left of McGovern. Recent poll showed RN 2-1
and Hirsch four points behind. This can be won with coattails
and help.
Tennessee: Sen. Howard H. Baker (R) is favored, but this
will be closer than expected. He has an excellent
organization and RN will win big. Democrat Cong. Ray
Blanton has gotten to the right of Baker and is rallying
point for Democrats disaffected by McGovern. Democrats
are desperate for one of three big offices. Also, our
busing judges hurt Baker.
Texas: Sen. John Tower (R) is favored and should win.
He is conducting an aggressive campaign to win Democrat
votes. Democrat Barefoot Sanders, is having money
problems, but he is hitting Tower's voting record with
some effect. Poll shows Tower +5 and moving.
Virginia: Sen. William Spong, Jr. (D) could be whipped
but Republican Bill Scott doesn't seem to be the man.
Scott's campaign is now taking shape, but he has poor
organization and lacks enthusiastic support among GOP
and many Byrd people. However, Stets Coleman and others
now trying hard to pull it out.
West Virginia: Sen. Jennings Randolph (D) should win.
Republican Louise Leonard is having financial problems
and needs a landslide Presidential vote to win.
Wyoming: Sen. Clifford Hansen (R) should win. His
popularity is holding up, but biggest problem is apathy
among Republicans. Democrat Mike Vinich is not getting
off the ground and appears to have poor organization.

SENATE AND HOUSE RACES
PLANNING PAPER
The purpose of this memorandum is to generally analyze Senate and
House races, to make tentative recommendations on target Senate races
and to identify and examine the resources which are available to allocate
to those target races.
INTRODUCTION
This paper is based upon the assumption that decisions concerning the
extent of Presidential, White House and campaign involvement in Senate
and House races will be made in late September or early October when
polling data and field reports reveal the extent of the President's
lead at that time. Between now and early October, two separate pro-
jects should be completed; one, analyze Senate and House races to de-
termine those which merit some degree of involvement from Washington and
second, analyze the resources available which can be brought to bear in
those races identified in step one above.
The analysis of available resources should not be viewed as a commitment
that these resources will in fact be used. Rather this analysis should
be done if a White House decision is made to become involved, to one
degree or another, in Senate and House races.
- 2 -
Once a determination has been made as to which races should be targeted
and an inventory conducted of the various kinds of resources which can
be directed to these target races then a decision can be made on the
level or degree of support for each candidate. Once the level of com-
mitment for each race has been determined the process of allocating the
resources can begin.
ANALYSIS OF SENATE RACES
The best opportunity for capturing one House of the Congress lies in the
Senate. There are currently 45 Republican Senators (Buckley votes on
organization as a Republican). A net increase of five seats will allow
the Republicans to organize the Senate. There is some talk that with a
net gain of four seats Senator Byrd of Virginia would vote to organize
with the Republicans. On the basis of information available to me I do
not think Senator Byrd would vote to organize with the Republicans.
The Republicans need at least 39 seats in the House in order to organize.
As indicated in the analysis at Tab B, such a gain will be extremely
difficult.
Senate. As a result of the changes of organizing the Senate, I recommend
that a majority of time, effort and resources be channeled into selected
Senate races. I feel that all of the available resources be first allocated
- 3 -
into the target Senate races. However, the recommendations for House
races at Tab B should be undertaken if at all possible.
In the Senate there are two seats held by incumbent Senators which
are now rated as close, Michigan (Griffin) and Texas (Tower). The
Senate race in Oregon (Hatfield) is rated as close but Hatfield seems
to be leading and is slated to win. I would recommend no overt help
in this race. There are also three seats which are Republican seats
where the incumbent is not running for reelection; Kentucky (Cooper)
where Nunn is running, South Dakota (Mundt) where Hirsch is the can-
didate and Idaho (Jordan) where McClure is the Republican candidate.
Each of these three races are also rated as close.
In order to have any chance to win a majority in the Senate each of these
seats must be held. These races must not be overlooked or underplayed
in the process of identifying other races, which if won would result in
a net gain. If any of these current Republican seats are lost, the odds
against gaining a Republican Senate are greatly increased as discussed
below.
On the basis of available polling data, field reports from CREP Regional
Directors and fieldmen, and from a number of other sources such as AmPac,
BiPac and Chamber of Commerce, I rate the following net gain Senate races
- 4 -
in three categories: 1) "even or better" chance of a Republican
victory - Chaffee in Rhode Island and Domenici in New Mexico; 2)
"possible" if the President does very well in the state - Thompson
in Georgia, Helms in North Carolina, and Bartlett in Oklahoma; and,
3) "long-shot possibilities" - Blount in Alabama, Hibbard in Montana,
Toledano in Louisiana and Scott in Virginia.
There are a total of five races in the "even or better" and "possible"
categories. This is the number of seats needed to insure that the
Republicans can organize the Senate. However, if even one seat now held
by a Republican is not held then the task of winning a Republican ma-
jority rests on winning a "long-shot possibility."
Consequently, I would propose a two pronged approach to the Senate races,
a) apply maximum effort towards saving the five close races now held by
Republicans (Texas, Michigan, Kentucky, South Dakota and Idaho); and, b)
apply maximum effort on the five seats categorized as "even or better"
and "possible", categories 1 and 2 above. "Long-shot possibilities" should
receive assistance but only if it does not dissipate our efforts toward
incumbent seats and categories 1 and 2. Any action taken on these races
should also be prioritized. I would rate the "long-shot possibilities" in
the following order; Montana (Hibbard), Alabama (Blount), Virginia (Scott),
Louisiana (Toledano). Both Montana and Alabama would be a much higher
than Virginia or Louisiana.
- 5 -
House. As we pointed out in the memorandum on House seats at Tab B,
there are a number of incumbnet ent Republicans facing stiff re-election
battles and because of retirements, a substantial number of races
where the Republican incumbent is not running. This means that
substantial effort must be made just to stay even.
The attached memorandum divides target races into three categories,
those races deserving maximum support, those races deserving moderate $
support and those races deserving little support. The type of re-
source that should be expended in each category is also outlined.
- 5 -
AVAILABLE RESOURCES
This section deals with the types and kinds of resources which
may be made available to targeted races if a decision is made to
actively support local races.
State Campaign Activities. There are a number of activities currently
being carried on by the Nixon organization in the various states which
could be transferable to local candidates to one degree or another.
The most obvious general activity is the intensity of the Nixon
campaign itself in each state. If there is a well organized, and
efficient and effective Nixon organization operating in a state, it
will help all Republican candidates. The degree of help an effective
Presidential campaign will furnish is difficult to judge but I think
it is safe to assume that the higher the President's margin of victory
in a state the better the chance of other Republicans on the ticket.
In other words, by increasing the intensity of the Nixon effort through
more advertising, more telephone banks, or more door-to-door canvassing,
we increase the chances of local Republican candidates.
The state campaigns are also composed of a number of separate elements,
many of which can also be adapted to aiding local races. First is the
door-to--door canvassing and "get out the vote" activity. In some
- 6 -
states this activity has already been combined with certain Senatorial
races, (Michigan, Texas and Kentucky). It is not too late to combine
our door-to-door efforts in other Senate races as well. This com-
bination does two things -- it brings in a large surge of new workers
for the local candidate and second it embraces the local candidate
in the Nixon aura and increases the coattail possibilities. I
recommend that a joint door-to-door canvass effort be undertaken with
the Senate candidates in New Mexico, Georgia, North Carolina and
Oklahoma.
Direct mail is another element in the state campaigns even though it is
directed from Washington, The mailing ensembles are already printed
and can't be changed to include target candidates at this late date; how-
ever, lists of printed mailing labels (in key states) can be made available
to Senate and House candidates.
Telephone banks are still another element in the state campaigns. In
selected areas (Texas and Michigan) these banks are now being used to 0.
assist Senate candidates. Unfortunately, none of the other target
Senate races are in states where telephone banks are currently operating.
However, xerox copies of identified Nixon voters could be made available
to local target Congressional candidates. These xerox sheets would
represent target voters for the local candidate. This proposal is also
recommended in the memorandum at Tab B.
- 7 -
Finances. Money is the life blood of politics and accordingly
campaigns can always use more money. The need for money in local
races may be more severe than normal this year because of our intense
fund raising efforts and because most of the normal Democratic fund-
ing sources are funnelling money into State races instead of the
McGovern effort. However, in an early field analysis of some key
House and Senate races our analysis revealed that money was not always
the most needed item. In many cases, money was not mentioned as "the"
factor in the election. This is important in that money that is raised
nationally for the purpose of aiding local candidates can be channelled
on a limited basis to those candidates who really need the help, thus
increasing its effectiveness. Another factor that is extremely impor-
tant is the timing of the delivery of additional campaign funds. Money
can most effectively be spent in early October with a deminishing return
as each week passes. Money delivered in late October and early November
is normally used to pay post campaign bills.
The method of distribution of any monies raised is also an issue. Basically,
there seem to be four methods of distribution available to us. First,
directly from 1701 to the targeted candidates. Second, from 1701 to the
Senate or House Campaign Committee for distribution to our targeted can-
didates. Third, the formation by us of a separate committee to distribute
funds directly to targeted candidates. Fourth, 1701 can give indications
of support for targeted candidates to selected donors who would contribute
- 8 -
directly to the targeted candidates. Whatever vehicle is finally
selected it should be remembered that there are outside funds avail-
able for House and Senate races and that going after that money will
not dissipate or interfere with the main fund raising activity of the
Committee.
It should also be remembered that any indication of support for target
candidates by the Committee and the White House will result in a ripple
effect. A number of private donors and private political groups,
like BiPac, are waiting for guidance before putting additional money
into state races.
Any funds which are raised or reallocated for Congressional purposes
should be strictly distributed on a priority basis so that each dollar
will have maximum effectiveness. Money should be allocated first to
target Senate races then to the maximum support House races listed in
the memorandum at Tab B.
Presidential Activities. Presidential involvement in target races is
another available resource. The most obvious Presidential involvement
is, of course, travel to the various states where target races are being
held. This activity, in my view, is the most important single resource
available and accordingly should be used sparingly. The President, by
coming into a state and endorsing a candidate is putting his prestige
on the line. He also runs the risk of alienating Democratic voters who
- 9 -
support him but won't vote Republican on state races. However, a
Presidential visit to endorse a Senate candidate is the single most
effective activity that can be undertaken to aid the candidate.
Since personal Presidential involvement in Congressional races
should be kept to a minimum I propose that the President make three
campaign trips in October forthe purpose of directly aiding Senate
races. One trip would be to Michigan to aid Griffin. Tris trip
could be combined with a trip to Chicago. Even though South Dakota
is in category 1, I would not send the President into McGovern's home
state. A second trip would be a ceremonial trip to the South. One
trip should be made to the South since it will be solidly in the
President's camp. I would propose going to Atlanta, the regional cen-
ter of the South where press and media coverage is excelent. I would
ask Blount, Thompson, Nunn and Helms to meet with the President in
Atlanta. This negates the necessity of other stops in Southern states
(which could cause problems with Democratic incumbents in Alabama,
Mississippi and Arkansas) and still allow these Senate candidates to
meet with and be associated with the President. I purposely would not
invite Senator Thurmond. By doing so you then could explain to Senate
candidates in Mississippi and Arkansas that not all Senate candidates
were invited. The third trip would be to California, via Oklahoma and
New Mexico. These two candidates, Bartlett and Domenici, more than any
Senate candidates, will benefit from a Presidential visit.
- 10 -
Under this proposal all of the first and second priority Senate
races when the President sh where the President should go will be
visited. Tower has already received the President's personal en-
dorsement. I do not think the President should go into South Dakota
and Rhode Island to endorse candidates.
Most of the candidates in target Senate races have already been in-
vited to the White House for picture sessions. In addition, a pro-
posal has already been submitted for Presidential endorsement letters.
Presidential TV and radio spots endorsing local candidates will be
covered later.
Vice Presidential Activities. The Vice President basically has the
same options available as the President. However, the President
should commit a substantial amount of time in October to target Senate
and House races. I recommend the Vice President endorse our target
Senate candidates in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, New
Mexico, South Dakota, Idaho and Montana. I would not send the Vice
President into Michigan or Rhode Island to endorse local candidates.
The
Vice President has already visited a number of these states and the
Senatorial candidates received, to one degree or another, some assistance
from these visits. The October visits, however, should be for the express
- 11 -
purpose of endorsing and aiding the candidacy of these target
Senate candidates.
If the President's position vis-a-vis McGovern is as strong in trid-
October as it is today, I would also schedule the Vice President into
a number of target Congressional races.
The Vice President should also make himself available for photo
opportunities with target Senate and House races.
First Family. Members of the First Family can also be effectively
used in aiding target Senate and House races. For example, Mrs.
Nixon could provide great assistance to the candidacy of John Caffee
in Rhode Island by providing "The Nixon Aura" and at the same time
not raise substantive issue problems where Caffee and the President
may disagree. Julie and Tricia also can give significant assistance
to our target candidates.
In each instance, however, members of the First Family should seek
to identify themselves with our target candidates. Several problems
have occurred lately where members of the First Family were in a target
state and our candidate was not able to obtain maximum exposure with
the Family member.
- 12 -
Surrogates. The Committee's surrogate program provides a very flexible
resource. The surrogates can be scheduled into target Senate races
without great disruption to the existing schedule. Scheduling a sur-
rogate for the benefit of a Senate candidate will show Presidential
support and will give a lift to the local campaign. It could also be
used for local fund raising if approved by the Finance Committee. The
scheduling of surrogates into target Senate races could start immediately.
Advertising. Advertising and the Committee's advertising expertise
is another resource which should be used. Counsel advises, however,
that any advertising in which the President appears, even if it is
only to endorse the candidacy of a local candidate, must be allocated
towards the President's media allowance to the extent it benefits the
President. The President's picture or voice endorsing other candidates.
would be considered a benefit. Consequently, any use of the President
must be closely coordinated with the November Group. Indications are
that the full media allocation for the President's campaign will not be
used and if local funding can be provided Presidential endorsement of
target candidates through TV and radio advertising should be undertaken.
Specifically, I recommend that the President prepare ten voice tapes
for our ten target Senate candidates. Each tape would be 30 to 45
seconds in length and would be individualized for each candidate. We
- 13 -
would ask each candidate for an initial draft and the November
Group would edit for consistency and Presidential tone. This
voice tape would then be supplied to each candidate, who would then
provide vidio coverage of the Senate candidate to go along with the
President's taped message. This would require approximately 1/2 hour
of the President time. The tapes can be reproduced easily and dis-
tributed.
I also recommend that a standard one minute TV tape be prepared for
distribution to our target Senate races and maximum support House
races. This tape would show various film clips of the President
dealing with the Congress, a shot of a scate of the Union, returning
to the Capital from Moscow, leadership breakfasts, etc. An off-
camera announcer talking about the President and how much he needs
a Republican Congress. The proposal would not require any of the
President's time.
Miscellaneous. There are also a number of miscellaneous resources
that can be brought to bear on identified target races.
Campaign Management - It would be possible, on a limited
basis, to supply selected Senate races with campaign
management or campaign consultants. There appears to be
real need for such services in several of our key Senate
races, particularly North Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma, and
Montana.
- 14 -
Issue Research - Information on issues both positive and
negative is badly needed in most of the target races.
Issue information could easily be distributed to target
races through sample press releases and issue papers.
Different subjects could be stressed in different geographical
locations throughout the country.
McGovern Record - Ed Failor's program of supplying press
releases on McGovern can be greatly expanded.
Veting Record - The voting records on all incumbent Demo-
crats could be supplied to our target races. This infor-
mation is very useful particularly if McGovern's voting
record is also included and our target candidates can use
this information to tie their opponent into McGovern.
Supplies - Campaign supplies are always in short supply
in a campaign, especially state campaigns. If straight
financial contributions are not possible, contributions of
supplies such as bumper stickers, pins, canvass sheets, etc.
could be supplied to our target races.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
CLARK MacGREGOR
FROM:
WILLIAM E. TIMMONS
SUBJECT:
Target Congressional Candidates
As you requested, this memorandum sets forth three categories for 84 Con-
gressional races which deserve special attention and discusses the various
types of support which may be undertaken for each group. Stan Anderson and
Harry Flemming agree in these recommendations.
We have rated the target districts in three categories:
Category A - Maximum Support (30)
Category B - Moderate Support (15)
Category C - Little Support (39)
We also created three Divisions within each category:
Division I -- Incumbent Republican (22)
Division II - Open Republicans* (21)
Division III - Net gain opportunity (41)
It was our feeling that incumbent Republicans facing stiff reelection chal-
lenges should receive maximum support if it appears they have any opportunity
to win. Re also feel that priority consideration should be given to Republican
challengers in districts where the Republican incumbent is not seeking re-
election.
Tab A contains our recommendations for Category A - Maximum Support - races
Tab B contains our recommendations for Category B - Moderate Support - races.
Tab C contains our recommendations for Category C - Little Support - races.
* The Republican incumbent is not seeking reelection.
- 2 -
We also recommend specific types of support for each Category:
Category A (7 incumbents, 6 Republicans open, 17 net gain opportunities)
This group represents the tightest House races. where maximum
effort should be most helpful.
Finance - We recommend $5,000 for each candidate.
This would total $150,000.
Speakers - We recommend that a member of the First
Family or the Vice President visit each
district.
Endorsements - We recommend an endorsement letter
from the President and a still photo of
each candidate with the President.
Organization - We recommend a joint canvassing effort
with the Nixon organization for each can-
didate. We also recommend joint telephone
canvassing in those areas where telephone
banks are located and a combined ballot
security operation with the Nixon organi-
zation in each district. We also recom-
mend that we make available lists of Re-
publicans (where party registration is
known) and identified Nixon supporters
(at no cost) taken from our computer mail-
ing tapes (in key states) and make available
the list of contributors in each target dis-
trict derived from our finance mailings.
Campaign literature of each target candidate
should also. be allowed in each Nixon storefront.
Advertising - We recommend providing each candidate
with a uniform television and radio tape of
the President endorsing the need for a Re-
publican Congress. A tag line then could be
added to this tape by each candidate.
Category B (3 incumbents, 1 Republican open, 11 net gain opportunities)
This group represents moderately difficult races for incum-
bents and GOP open seat candidates as well as challengers who
are "outside chances. "
Finance - We recommend $3,000 for each candidate. This
would total $45,000.
Speakers - We recommend scheduling at least one surrogate
into each district.
- 3 -
Endorsements - We recommend an endorsement letter
from the President and a still photo of
each candidate with the President.
Organization - We recommend a combined ballot security
operation and that we provide computer print-
outs as explained above. We also recommend
that we allow campaign materiel of each target
candidate to be placed in Nixon storefronts.
Advertising - We recommend providing a uniform radio
tape by the President for each candidate.
This tape would be general in nature and
each candidate would provide his own tag line.
Category C (12 incumbents, 12 Republicans open, 13 net gain opportunities)
This group represents districts that are apparent winners or
losers and extra effort will have only marginal effect on the
outcome.
Finances - None
Speakers - We recommend scheduling the surrogates if
they are available after meeting the re-
quirements of Category B.
Endorsements - We recommend an endorsement letter
from the President and a still photo of
each candidate with the President.
Organization - We recommend a combined ballot security
operation and allow the target candidates to
place their campaign literature in Nixon
storefronts.
Advertising - None
RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend strongly that a final decision on the above recommendations be
made as soon as possible. We feel that money distributed in early October
can be much more efficiently spent than money distributed in late October or
early November. It will also require two to three weeks to produce the TV
and radio tapes described above thus making the speedy approval of these recom-
mendations mandatory.

Meeting October 16. Includes all salaries and payroll burden through November 15.
(3) "Unexpended Balance" As of October 16, these amounts remained unexpended from the approved budgets.
Do not include salaries (see above).
(4) "Estimated Costs 10/16 - 11/15" These amounts represent what Division directors need to carry out their
programs in this period.
(5) "Over/Under Budget" This represents a comparison between (3) and (4)
(6) "Total Estimated Cost" Entire cost of each Division from April 7 to November 15. Represents a
comparison to (I).
Campaign Materials: Approved Budget increased $144,000 from Citizens; $17,000 in expenditures transferred to
November Group research, $15,000 credited to expenditures.
Candidate Support: Figure of $1.8 million based on (a) $600,000 for Presidential and First Family travel which
is $100,000 under budget; (b) $150,000 for staff which is $50,000 over budget; (c) $450,000 for public relations
and mailings which is $100,000 under budget; and (d) $600,000 for the Vice President which is $550,000 over budget
due to the fact that the Vice President's post-convention expenses were expressly excluded from the original
White House budget.
Citizens: Approved Budget decreased $144,000 for campaign materials and $298,000 for youth. Expenses added
under expenditures for cost of Ballot Security program through October 16, $60,000. Youth expenses deducted.
Office Administration: The $150,000 is a necessarily rough estimate since it depends on unascertainable costs.
Political Division: $140,000 added to Approved Budget for approved increases in three states; Ballot Security
expenses of $60,000 deducted from expenditures.
Polling: Extra polling which may be requested in the amount of $20,000 on October 28 has been added under
Estimated Costs. The Polling Budget does not include any post-election analyses which may be requested later.
Press Office: The $40,000 under Estimated Costs represents $25,000 for the final issue of The Re-Elector and
$15,000 for mailings, telegrams, and miscellaneous programs.
Scheduling and Tour: The $792,075 budget, which is under budget by $441,925, includes total costs of the
women's surrogate program and $140,000 for Election Night, although Election Night should be held to $100,000.
Youth: New category. Over budget due to convention-related expenses in the amount of $65,000, advertising-
related expenses in the amount of $110,000, and field expenses (California) in the amount of $122,000.

Branching Out
in World News
BY WILLIAM TUOHY
Times Staff Writer

VATICAN CITY-A recent edition
of the afternoon daily L'Osservatore
Romano, carried front-page stories
about President Nixon, Northern
Ireland, and the Paris peace talks,
while inside columns were devoted
to the Olympic Games.
For most publications, such news
selection would be routine, but for
the influential, closely read, unoffi-
cial Vatican newspaper, it reflects
new editorial departures.
L'Osservatore Romano is aiming
to increase and broaden its coverage
of world events, and in the process
may well become less a document
whose nuances are understood only
by Vaticanologists in world capitals.
"We are trying to modernize the
paper and make it more journalis-
tic," says Editor Raimondo Manzini.
"We will still carry. official religious
news, of course, but the rest of the
paper really wants to become a pa-
per."
Political News Widened
Thus political news which used to
be pretty much restricted to Italian
affairs is being widened. And nonre-
ligious subjects like the Angela Davis
trial are being reported neutrally.
And at the same time, L'Osserva-
tore Romano and its sister Sunday
supplement, L'Obsservatore Della
Domenica, are also broadening the
area - both religious and nonre-
ligious-for pointed editorial com-
ment.
L'Osservatore Della Domenica, for
instance, recently carried an editori-
al declaring that Sen. George S. Mc-
Govern's presidential campaign was
helping North Vietnam and the Viet
Cong, and therefore hindering Pres-
ident Nixon's efforts to disengage in
Southeast Asia.
Since the editorial was signed by
Federico Alessandrini, the Vatican
press spokesman, it was taken to
represent a certain coolness toward
McGovern on the part of the highest
levels of the Vatican.

SUBJECT:
Budget Transfers
With respect to the budget transfers discussed in last
Monday's meeting, the following transfers and changes
should be made before next week's session:
1. Campaign materials. (See attached memo)
a. Decrease the citizens budget by $84,100 and
transfer these funds to the campaign materials
budget for voter group materials.
b. Decrease the citizens budget by $60,000 and
transfer these funds to the campaign materials
budget for voter group distribution.
C. Transfer $17,000 in expenses for poster research
from campaign materials to November Group research,
leaving campaign materials with $17,000 less in
expenses.
d. There is also $15,609 in miscellaneous credits
to campaign materials.
2. Youth - We will not make any transfers from the youth
budget. However, to more accurately reflect our citizens
budget VS. expenditures, we should (a) deduct the original
youth budget of $298,000 from the citizens budget of
$2,154,000; and (b) create a separate youth expense category
with its $298,000 budget. Obviously, youth will be over its
budget, but this has been caused by certain convention,
advertising, and field-related costs which we have agreed to
leave in youth rather than attempt to transfer them elsewhere
and put those budgets over.

ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
3. Election Night - The election night budget of $98,130
is to be a new department under the Scheduling and Tour
Office budget.
4. Credits - Andy Lawrence will be in touch with you
regarding certain expenses which should be charged out
of the convention account and also some deposits which
will reduce convention expenditures by more than $25,000.
Hopefully, these deposits will be received in time to
credit them on next week's budget comparison.
5. All the Newell Weed insurance costs should be transferred
out of the Administrative budget. They were never budgeted,
planned for, or approved, and should not be charged to my
budget without my approval -- which you do not have. If the
Political or the Finance Division wishes to absorb them, fine.
If not, and you wish to cancel the policies, fine. But they
should not be charged to my budget under any circumstances.
Can you effect the changes mentioned above for next week's
budget comparison?
Thanks.

shipping demands.
3. Increased cost of Washington headquarters office
($95,248).
4. Budget reductions from the original budget which

MEMORANDUM FOR:
MISS MARTHA DUNCAN
FROM:
ROBERT C. ODLE, JR.
A recent budget analysis shows that certain administrative
areas over which we have little control (e.g., telephone use
and postage) have increased dramatically. Consequently, it
will be necessary to cut back in those areas where we do
have some control.
1. Effective immediately, at both 1701 and 1730 we should
cancel the extra hours air conditioning and heating. Both
buildings should operate according to normal air conditioning
and heating schedules during the week and on the weekends.
We will not pay for any additional air conditioning or heating.
2. We should not rent or purchase any additional furniture.
We'll just have to make do, and you can direct any appeals by
staff members to'me.
3. All requests for changing telephone systems, adding lines,
adding additional service, etc., must be directed to me.
There will be no changes made at all in any area in either
building without my express approval in advance. Please make
certain that the telephone company personnel understand
this.
4. The Committee no longer will provide donuts, sandwiches,
liquor or any kind of food at meetings, including the
Strategy Meetings.
5. Please crack down on requests for office supplies and see
what you can do to get the Stott bill down. Order no more
business cards for anyone. Order no more memo pads of any
kind -- if we run out we can use plain paper.
6. Divisions requesting large numbers of things beyond what
is normal will be required to finance them out of their
budgets. For example, if a certain division wishes to mail
10,000 charts to the field, that division should purchase and
pay for the 10,000 mailing tubes.
7. Order no more hot chocolate, soup, or tea.
8. Order no more of the smaller size stationery.
9. No work of any kind is to be performed by building
personnel without my express approval -- no more doors cut,
walls built, pictures hung, boxes moved, etc.
10. Stress to the girls who run the xerox machines that big
jobs should be done on the Press Office's multilith or
mimeograph -- not on the xeroxes. Put a sign on each xerox
to this effect.

LOUISIANA
The campaign organization of Louisiana GOP Senate candidate
Ben Toledano has just completed a statewide poll. The work
was done by Kennedy, Rockefeller and Ellsing, a firm with
which I'm not familiar. Following are some of the results:

Interviewees were asked if a Democrat other than McGovern
had been nominated, would they have voted for the Democrat.
5.6% said yes, 41% no and 12.9% said they would have voted
for Wallace.
Issues
To the question of rating top to bottom issues considered
most important nationally and locally, the respondents
replied:

The Senate
Toledano's pollsters felt his statewide identity was so
weak they didn't include him a head-on with Democrat
Bennett Johnston and Independent John McKeithen. McKeithen
polled only 22% with Johnston registering in the 60s and
the rest undecided. 12% of Louisianans said McKeithen is a
liar, and 8% said he was corrupt, based on problems he had
as governor.
The Toledano people have decided to focus on Johnston. Their
primary thrust is to try to link him with McGovern.
Toledano put up billboards across the state this week. He
has television spots produced, but lacks the money to buy
time.
Conclusion: A win here would be a surprise.
GEORGIA SENATE
The only poll data available at this point is a statewide
name recognition poll taken by Fletcher Thompson's people.
It shows Thompson leading Democrat Sam Nunn in name
recognition 44% to 38%. Thompson expects reports on a
head-to-head poll sometime this week.
Thompson's problems at this point are fourfold:
1. Herman Talmadge: Talmadge has begun an intensive
effort to get across the line that Nunn must be elected
because if the Republicans take over the Senate, Talmadge
will lose "Georgia's chairmanship" of the Agricultural and
Forestry Committee. Talmadge is doing this through a public
and telephone campaign.
Page Three
H. R. Haldeman
October 5, 1972
2. Fletcher Thompson himself: Thompson has always
been adamant about maintaining a good voting record in the
Congress. Consequently, he has spent little time in Georgia,
while Nunn has been there constantly. Thompson has now
agreed to spend five days a week in Georgia.
Thompson is getting criticized for relying too much on
generalities like Jane Fonda and Communism, and not
getting. down to Georgia issues.
Thompson wants to be the guy in the white hat. Nunn has a
really shallow Congressional record, but Thompson is not
attacking him.
3. Money: Thompson refuses to make any commitments
until he knows where the money is coming from. Consequently,
he has made no commitments for the best radio and television
time. The money shortage is improving somewhat.
4. The Democrat coalition: The Thompson-Nunn race
proves that politics does make strange bedfellows. Democrats
from Lester Maddox to Julian Bond are supposedly backing Nunn,
because they want to keep the Senate seat for the Democrats.
Maddox has said his support for Nunn was for the Democrat
primary, and that he might vote for Thompson in the end. But
there has been no sign from Maddox or his organization to
indicate there's anything substantial to this.
Conclusion: This one is winnable. Thompson is a good
campaigner, and he can take it if he will get visible and
get on the issues.
Recommendation: Close identification between the President and
Thompson when the President goes to Atlanta. Gerry Ford has
influence on Thompson, and should advise him along the lines
suggested above.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. Haldeman
FROM:
Harry S. Dent
ASD
SUBJECT:
North Carolina
In the Senate and Gubernatorial races in North Carolina, the
situation remains fuzzy and often contradictory. However,
I am beginning to piece together something of a pattern.
Following is a compilation of the most recent polls, and my
conclusions at this point.
The President
1. Telephone poll conducted by GOP Gubernatorial candidate
Jim Holshouser's organization, in Raleigh area, shows:
Nixon
64.0%
McGovern
20.7%
Undecided
15.3%
2. High Point Enterprise (which also includes Greensboro)
poll of Guilford County, published Sunday, found:
Nixon
82%
McGovern
17%
Conclusion: Only a major disaster would prevent the President
from winning with at least 60%.
The Senate
1. In the Holshouser poll, which I understand was done by his
own people, without supervision, Nick Galifianakis is ahead of
Republican Jesse Helms 50.2% to 32.3%, with 17.5% undecided.
2. The High Point Enterprise poll, showed Helms ahead 51.2%
to Nick's 47.6%.
Page Two
3. A Walter DeVries statewide poll completed 10 days ago
shows Nick with 35%. Helms with 33% and the rest undecided.
4. I have learned that two Democrat polls show Helms within
4 points of Nick. Even the Democrats were surprised.
Conclusion: Cliff White is now on the scene with the Helms
campaign. He found management problems, no media plan and
no concept of proper scheduling. He believes his people are
now on top of those technical problems. Beyond that, Helms
had a lot less statewide recognition than he apparently
assumed. Sixty miles beyond Raleigh - the limit of the
coverage of the television station where he was a broadcaster -
his recognition factor diminishes. White has now developed
a media plan, revamped Helms' campaign schedule and generally
broadening recognition. This week Helms campaign initiated
a radio-television blitz that will have 20 to 25 spots on
14 stations. The Helms people say they need $120,000 but on
balance White believes it is winnable. Helms has a GOP base
in the west and conservative Democrat support in the east.
No one can beat him by much. He is better off than recent
reports have indicated. This is winnable.
The Governor
1. The poll Holshouser took for himself - Skipper Bowles, the
Democrat, beating Holshouser 44.5% to 39%.
2. The Enterprise poll showed Bowles with 54% and Holshouser
with 43.5%.
Conclusion: Holshouser is closing and doing better than we
expected. He could win.
The Congress
We have a close fight to hold Jonas' seat in Charlotte. We
can win one more seat - the Galifianakis open seat in Raleigh.
Recommendation: RN visit to North Carolina before November 7.

NEW HAMPSHIRE
The candidate picture for the big races in New Hampshire
is clear now. Perennial candidate Wes Powell has the
GOP Senate nomination against McIntyre and Mel Thomson,
who was the AIP candidate for Governor in 1970, won the
GOP primary for Governor this time. Bill Loeb is
interested in both of these conservative candidates.
A Manchester Union Leader poll last week, sampling 2,500
homes in 29 cities, gives the President a 3 to 1 edge.
The Senate race:

No other reliable polling is available at present, to

The vote analysts say two significant things are working
for us in these two races: (1) voter turnout historically
is considerably higher in Republican New Hampshire in
Presidential election years, and (2) Presidential coat-
tails are usually fairly strong in this region
and the
President is expected to win big in New Hampshire.

MEMORANDUM TO:

Brad E. Hainsworth
RE:
ATTITUDES AND PREFERENCES
OF MISSISSIPPI VOTERS
1. General: The Mississippi surveys presents the
results of the first two surveys planned to
help guide the GOP campaigns for re-election
of the President and election of Gil Carmichael
for' U.S. Senator. The survey was conducted
August 5-16, 1972, with 550 voters representing
a cross section of the Mississippi electorate.
Mississippi voters are currently inclined to vote
a split ticket -- to re-elect President Nixon
and Senator Eastland.
In the Presidential race, RN starts with a better
than four-to-one lead over McGovern, 72 to 16,
with 12% undecided. The President's support
appears to be relatively firm.
In the Senatorial race, Eastland holds almost
the same magnitude of lead over Carmichael ---
66 to 16, with 18% undecided -- but evidence
indicates it is not so secure as Nixon's.
Carmichael --- though yet unknown to most voters --
has made a good impression on most of those who
have heard about him. There is a lot of sentiment
for change. Only 52% definitely go on record in
favor of re-electing Eastland, and only 50%
think it is a good idea to keep Senators in office
a long period of time.
To close the gap and win, Carmichael must mount a
massive campaign to weaken public confidence in
Eastland and build his own image as a competent
leader.
Harry S. Dent
Page Two
September 29, 1972
Eastland is mostwulneralbe on the charge that
he has used his office to maximize farm payments
to himself and his family. Also, he is beyond
the normal age of retirement and can be expected
to be less effective each succeeding year.
Statewide results show 75% quite satisfied with
Nixon and almost half of them (35%) say they are
completely satisfied. Dissatisfaction with Congress
runs 49%.
2.
Party Affiliation: White voters make up 73% and
blacks 27% of the effective electorate. Most
blacks classify themselves as Democrats. However,
as many or more whites now consider themselves
Republicans (25%) as Democrats (23%) with the
majority (52%) being independent or unclassified.

GEORGE CHAMPION, JR.
PRESIDENT
October 18, 1972
Mr. Harry Dent
Special Assistant to the President
The White House
Washington, D. C.
Dear Harry:
For the first time in the campaign, we are running into big problems
here in the South. The President's following seems to be eroding
dramatically. Our fund raising sources are drying up because they
claim we are not using the money for the campaign. They see no
campaign and it disturbs them greatly.
During the last week at fund raising events, instead of picking up
checks after my talk, I have been given a barrage of complaints about
the lack of a campaign on the part of the President and the shift
in voter sentiment that the potential contributors have noticed
among their employees and acquaintances The universal complaint
seems to revolve around the fact that the President isn't on tele-
vision and isn't actively campaigning while McGovern is doing both
vigorously.
Two weeks ago at fund raising meetings, I got checks, promises to
work, and an enthusiastic, helpful response from those present.
This week it is a completely different story. The comments below
are typical.
A potential contributor, Ocala, Florida - "The President better get
out and campaign. I polled my employees and five out of seven are
now for McGovern. Two months ago, they were all for Nixon."
A contributor, Tampa, Florida - "I'm worried. We can't get volun-
teers to man the telephones at headquarters. The party line is that
the election is in the bag so no one wants to work."
A major contributor, Jacksonville, Florida - "The President has got
to provide positive leadership for the campaign. Any organization
reflects the actions of the boss. The campaign workers are staying
away from headquarters in droves. Surrogates are out campaigning,
but the press doesn't cover them unless they commit some blunder.
Mr. Harry Dent
Page 2 -
October 18, 1972
A telephone campaign worker and contributor, Greenwich, Connecticut-
"A lot of people I call on the phone tell me they are going to watch
their television sets, find out what the issues are, and then decide.
I'm worried sick because the President isn't on television."
A potential contributor, Miami, Florida - "The President is not
spending money on the campaign. He isn't traveling and he isn't
on TV, SO why does he need my money.'
A contributor, Miami, Florida, who gave 10% if what he should have -
"They are keeping the President off TV and that is the worst thing
possible. McGovern's commercials are saturating our area and they
are effective.
The country rallied around the President after the wonderful way he
handled those very difficult press conferences. He did a great job
on television, and could be doing a better job now without the
hostile reporters."
A contributor, Gainesville, Florida - "People understood when the
President didn't campaign the last two months. He said he was going
to spend his time running the country. Now they expect him to be
out campaigning and asking for their vote. If he doesn't ask for it,
he won't get it."
A campaign worker and contributor, Orlando, Florida - "You can't
get anyone to work. Clark McGregor announced at a press conference
at the Miami convention that the President would probably win all
states except South Dakota. Now no one feels they will get any
credit for turning out the Orlando vote. It is supposed to be in
the bag anyway."
A potential contributor, Orlando, Florida - "McGovern is on TV ten
times for every appearance of the President. If you don't know
anything about him, he sounds good. He's winning a lot of votes in
Florida."
A Raleigh, North Carolina contributor - "McGovern is supposed to
have written off the South, but he is spending a fortune on TV here
and he is getting votes.'
Mr. Harry Dent
Page 2 -
October 18, 1972
The only people I have found who aren't worried are some of the
campaign chairmen who are delighted to be on the winning team and
are still reading last month's polls.
I am not writing because I have run into a few worried people The
concern is almost universal this week. Things have changed dramati-
cally and all seem to feel that the President and only the President
can turn it around by an active and vigorous campaign.
If the Nixon South is beginning to talk this way, the sentiment
must be present in other parts of the country.
This letter is in no way an excuse for a lack of personal preformance.
I am Finance Chairman for the State of Florida. Florida exceeded its
assigned quota for fund raising three weeks ago and is one of only
three states to enjoy that distinction. Only twenty five states on
the last report had achieved even 50% of their assigned quotas. In
addition, I have personally contributed $25,000 to the President's
campaign. I am in all the way, and look for nothing more than a
victory.
I hope you can tell the President of this change. He can easily
turn it around in the next two weeks if he campaigns.
With best and warmest wishes, I am,
Your sincerely,
George My Champion, Jr.

ETHICS, DEMOCRATIC FINANCING, AND THE TAXPAYER
By RALPH de TOLEDANO
If Chairman Wright Patman is really concerned about the ethics
of campaign financing, he should begin an immediate investigation of two
Democratic practices which so far have failed to evoke comment from press
and politicians. Investigators for Patman's House Banking and Currency Com-
mittee would have to take no more than a short cab ride to get the facts.
Involved is the use of loans from banks and individuals to finance
Senator George McGovern's Presidential bid. The propriety and even the
legality of some of these "loans" is open to serious question. That the
taxpayer may, in the long-run be stuck for part of the McGovern tab makes
official inquiry that much more vital.
In the first of these practices, the National Bank of Washington
is a participant. The NBW, owned by the United Mine Workers of America whose
president W. A. (Tony)Boyle is going the route in the Federal courts for il-
legal use of union funds for political purposes, has been making secured loans
to individuals. They, in turn, either give or "lend" the money to the
McGovern campaign or the Democratic National Committee.
In a telephone interview with this writer, True Davis, president
of the NBW, frankly stated that such loans were being made. (Davis, who him-
self has lent the McGovern campaign $25,000, will be remembered as the source
for columnist Jack Anderson's unsubstantiated "drunken driving" allegations
against Senator Thomas Eagleton, then Senator George McGovern's running mate.)
Davis asserted that making bank loans for political purposes had been declared
legal by the Supreme Court. What happens to the money, he said, was none of
his business.

It is, however, the taxpayer's business. For the interest on
those political loans is tax deductible. This means that the United States
Treasury is hit to the extent of that interest, which means in turn that
the Internal Revenue Service must dig deeper into the pockets of the tax-
payer to make up the loss. Or the Federal deficit is increased.
But the whole practice of making "loans" to political campaigns
should be considered suspect. It should be recalled that debts incur-
in 1968
red by the Democratic National Committee, running into the millions of
dollars, have yet to be honored. "Loans" made this year will run into the
multiple millions, and the chances that they will ever be repaid are very
doubtful indeed. In the latest McGovern report on contributions alone,
$$2.085 was listed as "loans"--which presumably will be written off as
"bad debts" at the expense of the taxpayer and the Treasury.
The extent of these "loans to the McGovern campaign can be measured
by digging into that latest report. There were eleven "loans" ranging from
$100,000 to $200,000 each, eight "loans" ranging from $35,000 to $80,000,
and thirteen" "loans" from $2,000 to $20,000. The United Auto Workers "lent"
$200,000 to the McGovern campaign, the Communications Workers union "lent"
$100,000. Direct contributions from union funds violate the Corrupt Frac-
tices Act-but does a "loan" which will never be repaid? Is this an evasion
of the law?
The individuals who made "loans" in the $100,000-$200,000 bracket
are people of great wealth. A "bad debt" of that magnitude allows them to
write-off much of their taxes. Senator McGovern has strenuously objected
to this kind of "loophole" and ascribed its use only to fat-cat Republicans.
But he is willing to be the beneficiary.
As Public Moralist Number One, McGovern might well ask himself:
Is it ethical to accept money which comes from a bank controlled by the UMW,
deeply implicated in the Yablonski murder, and Tony Boyle, whose election
to the UMW presidency has been set aside by the courts for its irregularities?
Is it ethical to condone the subsidies to those who "lend" the money--a
subsidy in tax deductions for interest and write-offs?
Perhaps McGovern is too busy impugning the Nixon Administration
to know what goes on in his own headquarters. But Lawrence F. O'Brien is
no babe in the woods, and he cannot plead ignorance. Perhaps Representative
Patman will show them both the light. But I am not holding my breath until
this happens.

Dear Murray:
Since I seem to have assumed the role of your necromancy LOGY committee
I am writing to be sure you know of the death of Harrison McCall of
Leukemia at the age of 84. His daughter is Mrs. Robert Stipel, 1625
Laurel St., So. Pasadena, Calif. 91030.
I understand the President called him several times during his
illness.
I have an uneasy feeling about California on November seventh.
There seems to be a lack of emotional drive. The machinery is apparently
set up but no zest. This is typified by practically no "Nixon" bumper
strips but a surprising number of McGovern's.
The State office holders are 'concerned with only their own
problems with the exception of Reagan and he is usually out of state.
The practical politicians who are working are more concerned with
giving recognition to local people who will be of help in the next
gubernatorial campaign.
Perhaps I am pessimistic but I have lost almost as many as I've
won and that goes for the campaigns I've worked on for Dick Nixon.
The thinking people are for him and the opposition is illogical
and emotional which may account for their being more vocal. I do think
the number of controversial propositions on the ballot will bring out a
large vote and this will help.
Best regards,

Presidential Race
Still in Question
The current Gallup Poll showing President Nixon with a
seemingly insurmountable 34 point lead over Senator McGovern
does not mean that the President is a certain winner.
Review of the current political situation together with
careful analysis of the Gallup findings, Gallup's expectation
that the gap will narrow, and our own parallel research
points to a possible repeat of the 1968 photo finish.
Overall, the President has reached his peak in popularity.
Senator McGovern could close the lead from now until
November 7.
From a political viewpoint, three factors favor McGovern
strengthening his position.
-First, the President can do little more to enhance his image
as a foreign affairs statesman, the image he has chosen
to present for the current campaign. Conversely, McGovern
is unlikely again to damage his campaign to the extent done
by the Eagleton Affair. Thus, McGovern's popularity is
bound to go up.
Second, predictions of widescale desertions by the party
regulars are patently absurd. Labor leaders can afford the
luxury of leaving McGovern; political leaders cannot. Whether
the latter like it or not, much of their survival hangs on
McGovern's coat tails. Thus, a Presidential disaster for the
Democratic Party would take thousands of lesser officials
with it; to save their skins, this group must support the
Presidential ticket.
Finally, there is the possibility of a classical Nixon "panic.
in Late October, the gap between the President and McGovern
will be closing. While the President's staff will do every-
thing to prevent a smudge of his carefully honed statesman image
neither the President nor the Vice-President are that contain-
able. Thus, there is the possibility of a reemergence of the
"Old Nixon" image and with it a return of apostating democrats
to the party fold.
Carefully examining the opinion poll data, indicates how
the above scenario is possible.
From this polling viewpoint, two factors are key.
Presidential Race
Still in Question
First, the widely publicized 64-30 lead of Nixon over
MOGOVOLU (dallip's August 25-28 poll, released September 10)
: 6 "sort." Most papers Cailed to emphasize Gallup's careful
ebservations that 30 percent of the respondents making a
candidate Swive are "not solidly committed." This "softness"
from the love that Gallup interviewers encourage
callected respondents in make it clear candidate choice. At
this early NEAVO 111 the comparign, such encouragement is
anrealisties Many voters are undecided and shall not choose
3 condidate until the final weeks of the campaign.
This "soft" part of the President's vote equals 19 points
(.30 X 64 = 19). When we discount this from the 64 points
the President receives in the latest Gallup poll, we reduce
his standing to 45 percent of the votes -- five points under
what he needs to win.
This reformulated 45 percent approximates our own findings in
a bell-weather congressional district. Here, a week after
Gallup's national survey, we found the approximate split of
45% Nixon, 25% McGovern, and 30% undecided. Note, that
when the undecided are not forced 10 choose, Nixon Grops
almost 20 points (from 04 to 45), McGovern only
', (from 30 to 25). The reasons for Nixon's sharp drop
brings to the surface the second key factor which will enable
McGovern to close the present gap even to the extent of
winning in November.
This second factor, based on our own data, is that
almost all of the presently undecided voters are Democrats
or Independents. Realistically, those of these groups who
haven't yet committed themselves to Nixon are open for McGovern.
McGovern can win almost all of these waivering Democrats and
half of the waivering independents. Should he do so, he would
capture 22 to 23 of the 30 undecided points. Added to his
present 25 percent, McGovern would have 47 to 48 points -- within
striking distance of victory. And should McGovern's campaign
"catch fire," and McGovern draw more than half of the still
uncommitted independents, we have every chance to anticipate
a repeat of the 1968 photo finish.
In summary, the 1972 Presidential race is not yet over.
Politically, McGovern's strength relative to the President's
can only go up. Analytically, a reading of the unreported
poll results shows that the popularly reported 64 points which
the President allegedly enjoys includes many undecided voters.
Our own data show that almost all of these are Democrats and
Independents. We believe enough of these can return to the
McGovern column to make 1972 a much closer race than anyone
has yet anticipated.

in California pursue this. It could be someone not identi-
fied with the GOP or the President's committee.
It.is clearly a violation of law. You will note the cir-
cular does not show who is responsible for it.
The objection to doing anything about it is that we may
inadvertently help publicize the libels.

MEMO FOR:
Mr. Clark Mac Gregor
Mr. H. R. Haldeman
FROM:
Helen Delich Bentley
For the past week I have been traveling in
Illinois and Minnesota. The following are some points I
have picked up along the way, talking to party workers and
audiences of "little guys.
We have been beset with questions from party
workers and others as to why the Presidnet, to the extent
security permits, does not set out on an intensive campaign
tour. Now that Congress has adjourned they query the neces-
sity of his remaining in Washington. This mounting concern
results from the impact of the increased activities of the
opposition.
McGovern and Shriver are dominating the
television newscast. These appearances, along with those
five minute spots of McGovern talking to the "little guy,"
are having a very definite effect. Even "dyed-in-the-wool"
Republicans say they are making them think. In other words,
the old pros from the Kennedy-Madison Avenue machine are
penetrating with their plans and their programs coupled with
the charges of corruption.
Eagleton -- a hero in reverse -- also is hurting
us, especially with senior citizens, He is using his Special
Committee on Aging very effectively.
I cannot help but recall that one of the reasons
Dewey lost was his inability and failure to reach the "little
guy" -- all in the last two weeks.
Would it in any way be possible for the President
to embark upon an airplane tour, making at least one stop,

(not necessarily in the largest city, but rather in crossroad
cities) in each of the critical states.
I repeat that my personal concern and that
expressed by all our dedicated grassroots workers, is
motivated by the desire that the President wins and by
the greatest plurality ever achieved.

Chairman, Republican National Committee
SUBJECT:
Voter Turnout Activity
I have put together this memorandum as a result of our meeting on voter
turnout. It is basically a report on current activities already being imple-
mented, with some additional recommendations which I feel should be considered.
1. We are working with the Committee for the Re-Election of the President
for joint sponsorship of an October 28, "PREPARE FOR VOTER TURNOUT" day. It
is expected that nearly 60 surrogates will be visiting at least that many
cities and as many as 200 to 300 storefront headquarters to demonstrate the
commitment to and appreciation of the Nixon team to turnout activities.
Following up the October 28 event, we should plan on well-publicized,
fact-finding tours by myself, Tom Evans and Clark MacGregor to check on
turnout activity in progress.
2. There will be a total commitment by the RNC Political Division to
insure that the millions of Nixon supporters uncovered in the registration
canvass activities have their doors knocked on, receive a phone call and/or
a piece of mail, urging their turnout on November 7.
We are re-assigning all personnel who have been working in advance, research,
campaign education, etc., to specific states and cities for the sole purpose of
assisting Nixon and Party leadership in their "60 Days to Victory/Target '72"
turnout programs. In addition to existing personnel, several dozen more are
being hired in states such as New Mexico, Virginia, Rhode Island, Minnesota
and other marginal states, especially where we have a close senatorial race.
3. Major emphasis in all publicity, publications, speeches and media
contact during the last 10 days of the campaign will be placed on the importance
and the mechanics of voting and the reasons why each vote is important.
The final editions of all party-oriented publications, and direct mailings,
with an ultimate readership of over a million Republican opinion leaders, will
be scheduled to arrive in the hands of our readers during the last ten days.
Theme and content will be heavily focused on the necessity for voting and the
need to offer services and support to precinct or county chairmen, prior to and
on election day.

4. On Thursday and Friday, November 2 and 3, RNC Communications staff
will call all identified state and local party publicity chairmen to encourage
their final efforts on developing news, identifying possible problem areas,
and emphasizing turnout.
5. Our weekly mailing to county chairmen will include a very straight,
clear, direct letter signed by the Chairman. The letter will simply and
dramatically urge the highest possible commitment to turnout activity.
6. We are making heavy utilization of Anne Armstrong's "Nixon-Agnew
New Majority Voting Machine" bus trip to emphasize voter turnout.
7. A draft of a possible telegram, from the President to all county
and state leadership has been submitted to Harry Dent for use during the
last ten days. The wire reminds each chairman of his individual responsibility,
and of the fact that the President is looking to each of them for a successful
operation.
The following recommendations are suggested for consideration:
1. The reservation of time and funds for a possible five minute spot
by the President four or five days prior to election day, addressed to all
Americans, and emphasizing the importance of their vote.
2. The appointment by the President of a celebrity/sports figure as
national "voter turnout chairman" on November 1, to emphasize the importance
placed on this activity by the President and the campaign. Follow this up
by naming 50 state turnout chairmen.
3. Telephone calls by the President to turnout chairmen, to large
meetings of Republican groups, and to joint meetings of the CRP/RNC/DFN.
These could be set up for the calls to come in on a P.A. system. Arranging
of meetings of 50 to 150 for this purpose, plus media coverage, is practical
and possible. Approximately one week's advance notification would help.
** 4. We are considering sending a reprint of the Chicago Tribune edition
announcing a Dewey victory to each of our county chairmen, along with a special
Dewey button. (Attached)
Bob, after you have had an opportunity to review this it might be worth-
while for us to discuss the entire program once again.

Dear Bob:
For the first time in the campaign, we are running into big
problems here in the South. The President's following seems
to be eroding dramatically. Our fund raising sources are drying
up because they claim we are not using the money for the campaign.
They see no campaign and it disturbs them greatly.
During the last week at fund raising events, instead of picking
up checks after my talk, I have been given a barrage of complaints
about the lack of a campaign on the part of the Fresident and the
shift in voter sentiment that the potential contributors have
noticed among their employees and acquaintances. The universal
complaint seems to revolve around the fact that the President
isn't on television and isn't actively campaigning while McGovern
is doing both vigorously.
Two weeks ago at fund raising meetings, I got checks, promises
to work, and an enthusiastic, helpful response from those present.
This week it is a completely different story. The comments below
are typical.
A potential contributor, Ocala, Florida - "The President better
get out and campaign. I polled my employees and five out of seven
are now for McGovern. Two months ago, they were all for Nixon."
A contributor, Tampa, Florida - "I'm worried. We can't get volun-
teers to man the telephones at headquarters. The party line is
that the election is in the bag SO no one wants to work."
A major contributor, Jacksonville, Florida - "The President has
got to provide positive leadership for the campaign. Any organi-
zation reflects the actions of the boss. The campaign workers are
staying away from headquarters in droves. Surrogates are out
campaigning, but the press doesn't cover them unless they commit
some blunder.'
Mr. Bob Dole

October 18, 1972
A. telephone campaign worker and contributor, Greenwich, Connecticut-
"A lot of people I call on the phone tell me they are going to watch
their television sets, find out what the issues are, and then decide.
I'm worried sick because the President isn't on television."
A potential substantial contributor, Miami, Florida - "The President
is not spending money on the campaign. He isn't traveling and he
isn't on TV, so why does he need my money.'
A contributor, Miami, Florida, who gave 10% of what he should have -
"They are keeping the President off television and that is the worst
thing possible. McGovern's commercials are saturating our area and
they are effective.
The country rallied around the President after the wonderful way he
handled those very difficult press conferences. He did a great job
on television, and could be doing a better job now without the
hostile reporters."
A contributor, Gainesville, Florida - "People understood when the
President didn't campaign the last two months. He said he was
going to spend his time running the country. Now they expect him
to be out campaigning and asking for their vote. If he doesn't ask
for it, he won't get it."
A campaign worker and contributor, Orlando, Florida - "You can't
get anyone to work. Clark McGregor announced at a press conference
at the Miami convention that the President would probably win all
states except South Dakota. Now no one feels they will get any
credit for turning out the Orlando vote. It is supposed to be in
the bag anyway.'
A potential contributor, Orlando, Florida - "McGovern is on TV ten
times for every appearance of the President. If you don't know any-
thing about him, he sounds good. He's winning a lot of votes in
Florida.
"
A Raleigh, North Carolina contributor - "McGovern is supposed to
have written off the South, but he is spending a fortune on TV here
and he is getting votes. 11
Mr. Bob Dole
Page 3 -
October 18, 1972
The only people I have found who aren't worried are some of the
campaign chairmen who are delighted to be on the winning team
and are still reading last month's polls.
I'm not writing because I have run into a few worried people. The
concern is almost universal this week. Things have changed dramati-
cally and all seem to feel that the President and only the President
can turn it around by an active and vigorous campaign.
If the Nixon South is beginning to talk this way, the sentiment must
be present in other parts of the country.
This letter is in no way an excuse for a lack of personal perfor-
mance. I am Finance Chairman for the State of Florida. Florida
exceeded its assigned quota for fund raising three weeks ago and
is one of only three states to enjoy that distinction. Only twenty
five states on the last report had achieved even 50% of their
assigned quotas. In addition, I have personally contributed $25,000
to the President's campaign. I am in all the way, and look for
nothing more than a victory.
I hope you can tell the President of this change. He can easily
turn it around in the next two weeks if he campaigns.
With very best and warmest wishes.
Yours sincerely,
George My Champion, Jr.

Tower Conversation Being Used In
Six Texas Telephone Centers
Six centers (Harlingen, Victoria, Tyler, Amarillo, San Angelo and Beaumont)
which have completed all of their calls on their telephone computer sheets
have begun to call back all undecided voters. One group of undecideds that
they were calling were the Nixon positives and the Tower undecideds. This
call back conversation went as follows:
"President Nixon has said that it is vital that
Senator Tower be re-elected. He needs his leader-
ship and help in the Senate. Can Senator Tower count
on your vote?"
If this person was either positive or negative, they were thanked. If they
continued to be undecided, they were questioned as to issues that concerned
them. Our telephone chairman in Texas was fully aware of these calls and
approved them using the rationale that it was better to keep the phone banks
busy in order to have them in full swing for the GOTV reminder calls beginning
the first week in November, than to close them.
We have had no feed back - adverse or otherwise - on these calls from any-
one in Texas.

Dear Honorable Austin,
In order to avoid confusion with the voters, I would

Jack, This is the Letter
I Have sent oven Art Cullens
sag. To 3,200 Wallod people.
Dear Friend:
Imank
After the Miami Beach Convention in July, supporters of Governor
George C. Wallace were placed in a difficult position.
It was a choice between what we believe in and what George Wallace
has fought for --- or what we do not believe in and what George McGovern
advocates.
I have been a long-time supporter of Governor Wallace. I have
worked hard for his beliefs.
I cannot and will not support George McGovern. I have nothing
against Senator McGovern personally. But I do not feel that his views
reflect the thoughts of the vast majority of the average citizens of
Michigan.
Senator McGovern supports busing of school children as a national
policy.
Senator McGovern proposes tax increases and welfare schemes that
are unfair and unworkable and would place new burdens on the average
citizen.
Senator McGovern would withdraw from Vietnam without securing
the release of our prisoners of war.
Senator McGovern would hacksaw our defense budget, and that would
threaten the very security of our country.
In other words, Senator McGovern's position is 180 degrees away
from the Wallace program that we supported in the primary.
We voted for Governor Wallace in the primary to send them a message.
It was a message of a new day of happiness for average citizens like
myself and like yourself. It was a message that we want an end to forced
busing, regressive taxation on the working man and family man, ever-
growing bureaucracy that constantly harasses the lives of our people.
Our message was that we want government to reflect the thoughts and
feelings of average citizens.
As thousands of you have done, we made the decision to support
President Nixon for re-election because we saw in the Republican Con-
vention that our message was recognized by President Nixon.
-2-
It this election, among the major candidates, President Nixon comes
the closest to the thinking of the average citizens of Michigan. I truly
believe that he has deep trust in the real America that we grew up to love
and respect.
I invite you to join with me and other friends and supporters of
Governor Wallace to achieve a great victory on November 7 with the re-
election of President Nixon.
I am a Democrat and remain a Democrat. Our sole purpose in this
effort is for the re-election of President Nixon. We believe this is a
time to put country above party in the choice for the White House. It
is a position forced upon us because Senator McGovern rejects the impor-
tant issues that have deepest meaning for each of us.
Our efforts are not concerned with or involved in any congressional,
state or local elections.
I am enclosing a volunteer card and a return envelope. If you
choose to join us to help in this effort to win a new day for the real
viewpoint of the people of Michigan with the ré-election of President
Nixon, please fill out the card and return.
Sincerely,
Art Cullers
P.S. Contact one of these working offices of Democrats for Nixon to
obtain supplies or volunteer to help.
Dear Art:
I am willing to work to assist you in your program
to re-elect the President.
I will not be able to be active in the campaign.

Vocational Student Leaders
Endorsing the President.
Attached is a list of vocational student leaders who
have endorsed the President. This is really our re-
ward in terms of recruiters and high Nixon visibility
in this group from all our work throughout the Spring.
Following is a summary of our efforts:
1) We have had nine of the immediate past presidents hold a
press conference in Miami. They represented every vocational
youth organization (to our knowledge this is unprecedented)
whose membership numbers 1.5 million young people.
2) We are currently circulating a letter through them
to other leaders to sign endorsing the President. This
letter will be mailed by October 1 to all the vocational
chapters - numbering 10,000. The letter will include a
recruiting card.
3) These leaders have all been contacted by our state
organizations and put to work recruiting volunteers.
One, Jo Ann Cullen, has been appointed College Director
of Pennsylvania.
