TALKING PAPER FOR THE PRESIDENT
RE: PHONE CALL TO NEIL McELROY REGARDING
BRYCE HARLOW'S LEAVE OF ABSENCE
gno
Purpose of Call: To persuade McElroy and P&G to continue Harlow's
present leave of absence for another two years to enable him to take the
post as Chairman of the Republican National Committee and carry out
the vital party leadership role that he is uniquely qualified to handle.
Background:
1. The Attorney General talked with McElroy on the phone on
Thursday of last week and felt that he had had a satisfactory con-
versation regarding the extension of Harlow's leave.
2. Harlow had lunch with McElroy on Friday and at that time
McElroy told him he felt it would be very unlikely that P&G
would be able to extend Harlow's leave for a partisan purpose.
McElroy felt that this would be more difficult than keeping him on
a leave of absence to serve in the government.
3. The Attorney General asked McElroy to keep the matter open
following his luncheon with Harlow pending a direct call from the
President.
4. The Attorney General advises there is no legal, moral, or
reasonable business impediment to P&Gs continuing the Harlow
leave of absence.
