WASHINGTON
April PRESIDENT 7, 1971 HAS SEEN Jo
MEMORANDUM FOR:
THE PRESIDENT
FROM:
CHARLES W. COLSON wr
SUBJECT:
Meeting on Youth with Robert Finch,
H.R. Haldeman and Charles Colson
Thursday, April 8, 1971
5:00 p.m. HELD iN EOB OFFICE.
I.
PURPOSE: To discuss youth issues and the 18-20 year old vote.
II. BACKGROUND:
A. This meeting is the result of a Finch/ Colson memorandum
to Haldeman of December 9, 1970 (attached as Tab A) and
a subsequent Finch memorandum of April 2, 1971 (Tab B)
B. Poll data indicates that we do not stand well politically with
the 18-20 year old vote; a better organized effort is necessary.
III. PROBABLE TALKING POINTS:
A. Youth Attitudes: Young people believe that we have rejected
their generation; they feel alienated. They tend to stick
together; hence, criticism of their life styles (for example,
long hair), tends to cause even those who agree with us to
feel a part of the group being rejected. The answer here
probably lies more in what we say and how we say it rather
than what we do. Credibility is an even more critical issue
with the youth than with the public at large.
B. Issues of Major Concern to Youth:
1. The draft
2. The war
3. Ecology
4. The racial issue
PRESS PLAN: NONE
