MEMORANDUM
TO:
John Mitchell et al
FROM:
Rose Mary Woods
RE:
Cabinet Post for Maury Stans
Loren Berry has called here several times
and has asked me to pass along the following:
"The reasons I am for Maury for the spot
at Treasury are:
"1. He is honest, on the square and he is
sound.
"2. He would be tremendously loyal to RMN.
I think the man in that spot must have loyalty to the
President.
"I think that is probably most important because the
money situation looks complicated at this time. I think Maury
would use plain common horse sense. I believe he would be a
natural and he would do the job.
"3. They are putting up big trial baloons
for other people.
"Certainly when RMN picked Agnew he made the
right decision (I personally believe this helped in the border
states). I am interested in seeing this sail along as well
as possible. Certainly it is always better when you have men
or people around you who are loyal to you.
-- 2 -
"Maury Stans is that to the last degree!
There is no question. I think you know he is not pressing
anything for himself at all.
"At the same time, I am a little on the
outside -- I have a right to express my opinion.' 11

RE:
William Rentschler of Illinois
On November 13 when Mrs. Reynolds was in to see
Maury Stans she asked a friend of RMN to be sure to pass along
what she had just told Maury -- "that if Bill Rentschler gets an
appointment in Washington it will really upset the apple car t in
Illinois. 11
She, as you probably know, was one of our contributors
and helped raise money from others throughout the campaign.
On the same subject -- a man who does know Bill well --
and likes him -- said if we were considering him we should first
look into the personal side because we would not want to be
embarrassed. (I will give you details on this if there is any necd.)

Statement of
RICHARD M. NIXON
November 6, 1968
New York, New York
Following is the victory statement made Wednesday
afternoon by President-Elect Richard M. Nixon. The gift Mr.
Nixon refers to at the end of this statement is the replica
of the Presidential seal made by Mr. Nixon's daughter, Julie.
Ladies and gentlemen: I didn't realize so many
of you would stay up so late. I want to express first my
grateful appreciation to all of those in this room, but
more than that, through the medium of television and radio,
to the thousands, and, I understand, millions, across the
country who worked for our cause.
I know that many that I will never have a chance to
speak to personally gave hours and days of time, and we
will always be grateful for what you did.
And we hope we can be worthy of the support that
we had of the thousands of volunteer workers in state after
state who did far beyond the call of duty in helping us
to the victory that was won.
I, as you probably have heard, have received a
very gracious message from the Vice President congratulating
me for winning the election. I have also had a telephone
conversation with him, and I thought I might share with you
and also our television audience some of the thoughts that
I expressed to him in that telephone conversation.
I congratulated him for his gallant and courageous
fight against great odds. I admire a fighter, and he proved
himself to be one. He never gave up and he gave us a good
fight.
- 2 -
I also told him that as he finished this campaign
that I know exactly how he felt. I know how it feels to
lose a close one.
Having lost a close one eight years ago and having
won a close one this year, I can say this -- winning's a
lot more fun.
But, I would like to express to him and also to
the thousands who worked for him because he, like
myself, had a great corps of volunteer workers -- many
young people as well as others -- a bit of philosophy that
has guided me through the years of defeat toward this
victory.
It is this: A great philosophy is never one
without defeat. It is always one without fear. What is
important is that a man or a woman engage in battle, be in
the arena, participate, and I hope that all of those who
supported Mr. Humphrey will continue their interest in
politics. They will perhaps be in the other party; we may
be contesting again. Who knows? But the important thing is
that our process in this country works better when we have
devoted, dedicated people who supported him and lost not to
be discouraged but to continue their interest and to go on
to other areas of public service.
Also, I would like to report that I had a conversation
today with Mrs. Eisenhower. She, of course, was pleased with
the result and she said the General was elated. This afternoon
- 3 -
I plan to move, to go to Key Biscayne, Florida, with my
family for a few days off -- three days, I think -- but on
the way we're going to stop in Washington and call on the
General.
And I've also received a very gracious wire from
President Johnson from Austin, Texas, in which he
congratulated me and indicated his desire to be of assistance
in the next Administration. I, in turn, pledge again to him
my assistance and cooperation in the interim period between
now and the Inauguration in any activity that may be helpful
in bringing the peace to the world that we all want.
And I look forward in the next Administration to
having a relationship with former President Johnson such as
President Eisenhower has had with him. Those who have
served in this office, can know the tremendous burdens and
they have so much to offer in their years of what will be
called retirement.
And, then, one final thought that I would like to
leave with regard to the character of the new Administration.
I saw many signs in this campaign. Some of them were not
friendly and some were very friendly. But the one that
touched me the most was one that I saw in Deshler, Ohio at
the end of a long day of whistle-stopping; a little town, I
suppose five times the population was there in the dusk,
almost impossible to see -- but a teen-ager held up a sihn,
"Bring Us Together."
- 4 -
And that will be the great objective of this
Administration at the outset to bring the American people
together. This will be an open Administration, open to new
ideas, open to men and women of both parties, open to the
critics as well as those who support us.
We want to bridge the generation gap. We want to
bridge the gap between the races. We want to bring America
together. And I am confident that this task is one that we
can undertake and one in which we will be successful.
And, fincally, if I could close on one personal
note, I mentioned my many supporters around the country and
the wonderful people in this room who stayed up all the
night -- and so did I but, surrounding me are four people
who have meant much to this campaign and to my life.
My wife, who has endured more of my speeches than
even the members of the press, and you know how tired you
can get of it. Believe me, it takes a real trouper to
hear a speech over and over again for 21 years and act as if it
was new each time.
And, of course, my two daughters who were able to
participate in this campaign and gave us a tremendous lift
by their campaigning all over the country and 35 states;
and David Eisenhower, who campaigned very effectively in
his own right.
Now, Ithink all of you probably wondered how I felt
about winning the election, and naturally, in my press
conferences I always gave the appearance of complete optimism
- 5 -
that we were going to win. That is what you have to say.
But I want all of you to know that there were
moments when we had doubts. And all of us had doubts. But
there was one member of our family, I learned, that had
no doubts at all because immediately after we saw the final
return this morning at 9:30 or so on television that the
Illinois votes were now considered to be in our column, my
daughter Julie asked me to come into her room, that she
had a present for me that she had made and worked on all
the time during these trips that she was taking across the
country.
And when you see this present, you will see she
never had any doubt at all. Here it is.
Ladies and gentlemen: To show you how unsophisticated
I am about this kind of art, when I saw it, I said, "isn't
that needlepoint?" And said, "no, it's crewel." But it's
the kindest thing that I had happen, even though it's crewel.

FOLLOWING IS THE VICTORY STATEMENT MADE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BY PRES-
IDENT-ELECT RICHARD M. NIXON. THE GIFT MR. NIXON REFERS TO AT THE END
OF THIS STATEMENT IS THE REPLICA OF THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAL MADE BY MR.
NIXON'S DAUGHTER, JULIE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I DIDN'T REALIZE so MANY OF YOU WOULD STAY UP so
LATE. I WANT TO EXPRESS FIRST MY GRATEFUL APPRECIATION TO ALL OF THOSES
THOSE IN THIS ROOM, BUT MORE THAN THAT, THROGH THE MEDIUM OF TELEVI-
SION AND RADIO, TO THE THOUSANDS, AND, I UNDERSTAND, MILLIONS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY WHO WORKED FOR OUR CAUSE.
I KNOW THAT MANY THAT I WILL NEVER HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO PERSONLALLY
PERSONALLY GAVE HOURS AND DAYS OF TIME,AND WE WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL
FOR WHAT YOU DID.
AND WE HOPE WE CAN BE WORTHY OF THE SUPPORT THAT WE HAD OF THE THOUS-
ANDS OF VOLUNTEER WORKERS IN STATE AFTER STATE WHO DID FAR BEYOND THE
*
CALL OF DUTY IN HELPING US TO THE VICTORY THAT WAS WON.
INI MARKGGRAEI QUSCTEONAGE
I HAVE ALSO HAD A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH HIM, AND I THOUGHT I
MIGHT SHARE WITH YOU AND ALSO OUR TELEVISION AUDIENCE SOME OF THE
THOUGHTS THAT I EXPRESSED TO HIM IN THAT TELEPHONE CONVERSATION.
I CONGRATULATED HIM FOR HIS GALLANT AND COURAGEOUS FIGHT AGAINST GREAT
ODDS. I ADMIRE A FIGHTER, AND HE PROVED HIMSELF TO BE ONE. HE NEVER
GAVE UP AND HE GAVE US A GOOD FIGHT.
I ALSO TOLD HIM THAT AS HE FINISHED THIS CAMPAIGN THAT I KNOW EXACTLY HD
HOW HE FELT. I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO LOSE A CLOSE ONE.
HAVING LOST A CLOSE ONE EIGHT YARS AGO AND HAVING WON A CLOSE ONE
THIS YEAR, I CAN SAY THIS- WINNING'S A LOT MORE FUN.
BUT, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS TO HIM AND ALSO TO THE THOUSANDS WHO
WORKED FOR HIM--BECAUSE HE, LIKE MYSELF, HAD A GREAT CORPS OF VOLUN-
TEERSWORKERS, MANY YOUNG PEOPLE AS WELL AS OTHERS--A BIT OF PHIL-
OSPOPHY THAT HAS GUIDED ME THROUGH OUT/ THE YEARS OF DEFEAT TOWARD
THIS VICTORY.
IT IS THIS: A one GREAT PHILOSOPHY IS NEVER one WON WITOTHOUT DEFEAT. IT
IS ALWAYS WON WITHOUT FEAR. WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS THAT A MAN OR A
WOMAN ENGAGE IN BATTLE, BE IN THE ARENA, PARTICIPATE, AND I HOPE THAT
ALL OF THOSE WHO SUPPORTED MR. HUMPHREY WILL CONTINUE THEIR INTEREST
ESTPOGIAGOSN. THE0
IN POLITICS. THEY WILL PERHAPS BE IN THE OTHER PARTY; WE MAY BE CON-
TESTING AGAIN. WHOKNOWS? BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT OUR PRO-
CESS IN THIS COUNTRY WORKS BETTER WHEN WE HAVE DEVOTED, DEDICATED PEO-
PLE WHO SUPPORTED HIM AND LOST NOT TO BE DISCOURAGED BUT TO CONTINUE THE
THEIR INTEREST AND TO GO ON TO OTHER AREAS OF PUBLIC SERVICE.
WORKS BETTER WHEN WE HAVE DEVOTED, DEDICATED PEO-
PLE WHO SUPPORTED HIM AND LOST NOT TO BE DISCOURAGED BUT TO CONTINUE THE
THEIR INTEREST AND TO GO ON TO OTHER AREAS OF PUBLIC SERVICE.
ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THAT I HAD A CONVERSATION TODAY WITH MRS.
EISENHOWER. SHE, OF CORSE, WAS PLEASED WITH THE RESULT AND SHE SAID
THE GENERAL WAS ELATED. THIS AFTERNOON I PLAN TO MOVE, TO GO TO KEY
BISCAYNE, FLA., WITH MY FAMILY FOR A FEW DAYS OFF--THREE DAYS, I THINK-
--BUT ON THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO STOP IN WASHINGTON AND CALL ON THE
GENERAL.
AND I'VE ALSO RECEIVED A VERY GRACIOUS WIRE FROM PRESIDENT JOHNSON FROM
AUSTIN, TEXAS, IN WHICH HE CONGRATULATED ME AND INDICATED HIS DESIRE TO
TO BE OF ASSISTANCE IN THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION.
I, IN TURN, PLEDGE AGAIN TO HIM MY ASSISTANCE AND CO-OPERATION IN
THE INTERIM PERIOD BETWEEN NOW AND THE INAUGURATION IN ANY ACTIVITY THAT
THAT MAY BE HELPFUL IN BRINGING THE PEACE TO THE WORLD THAT WE ALL
WANT.
AND I LOOK FORWARD IN THENC
RMN-FLA
LOOK FORWARD IN THE NEXT ADMINISTRATON TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH
WITH FORME PRESIDENT JOHNSON SUCH AS PRESIDENT EISENHOWER HAS HAD WITH
HIM. THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED IN THIS OFFICE, CAN KNOW THE TREMENDOUSE
BURDENS AND THEY HAVE so MUCH TO OFFER IN THEIR YEARS OF WHAT WILL BE
CALLED RETIREMENT.
AND THEN ONE FINAL THOUGHT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE WITH REGARD TO
THE CHARACTER OF THE NEW ADMINISTRATION. I SAWMANY SIGNS IN THIS CAM-
PAIGN. SOME OF THEM WERE NOT FRIENDLY AND SOME WERE VERY FRIENDLY.
BUT THE ONE THAT TOUCHED ME THE MOST WAS ONE THAT I SAW IN DESHLER,
OHIO AT THE END OF A LONG DAY OF WHISTLE-STOPPING, A LITTLE TOWN, I
SUPPOSE FIVE TIMES THE POPULATION WAS THERE IN THE DUSK, ALMOST IMPOS-
SIBLE TO SEE--BUT A TEENAGER HELD UP A SIGHN, "BRING US TOGETHER."
AND THAT WILL BE THE GREAT OBJECTIVE OF THIS ADMINISTRATION AT THE OUTSI
SET, TO BRING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TOGETHER. THIS WILL BE AN OPEN
ADMINISTRATION, OPEN TO NEW IDEAS, OPEN TO MEN AND WOMEN OF BOTH PAR-
TIES, OPEN TO THE CRITICS AS WELL AS THOSE WHO SUPPORT US.
WE WANT TO BRIDGE THE GENERATION GAP. WE WANT TO BRIDGE THE GAP
BETWEEN THE RACES. WE WANT TO BRING AMERICA TOGETHER. AND I AM CON-
FIDENT THAT THIS TASK IS ONE THAA WE CAN UNDERTAKE AND ONE IN WHICH
WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.
AND FINALLY, IF I COULD CLOE ON ONE PERSONAL NOTE, I MENTIONED MY MANY
SUPPORTERS AROUND THE COUNTRY AND THE WNDERFUL PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM WHO
STAYED UP ALL THE NIGHT--AND so DID I--BUT, SURROUNDING ME AR FOUR
PEOPLE WHO HAVE MEANT MUCH TO THIS CAMPAIGN AND TO MY LIFE.
MY WIFE, WHO HAS ENDURED MORE OF MY SPEECHES THAN EVEN THE MEMBERS OF
THE PRESS, AND YOU KNOW HOW TIRED YOU CANGET OF IT. BELIEVE ME, IT
TAKES A REAL TROUPER TO HEAR A SPEECH OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR 21 YEARS
AND ACT AS IF IT WAS NEW EACH TIME.
AND, OF CORSE, MY TWO DAUGHTERS WHO WERE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS
CAMPAIGN AND GAVE US A TREDMENDOUS LIFT BY THEIR CAMPAIGNING ALL OVER
TH COUNTRY AND 35 STATES, AND DAVID EISENHOWER, WHO CAMPAIGNED VERY
EFFECTIVELY IN HIS OWN RIGHT.
NOW I THINK ALL OF YOU PROBABLY WNDERED HOW I FELT ABOUT
WINNING THE ELECTION, AND NATURALLY, IN MY PRESS CONFERENCES I ALWAYS
GAVE THE APPEARANCE OF COMPLETE OPTIMISM THAT WE WERE GOING TO WIN.
THAT IS WHAT YOUHAVE TO SAY.
BUT I WANT ALL OF YOU TO KNOW THAT HERE WERE MOMENTS WHEN WE HAD DOUBTS.
AND ALL OF US HADDOB
DOUBTS, BUT THERE WAS ONE MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY
I LEARNED, THAT HAD NO DOUBTS AT ALL BECAUSE IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE SAW TH
THE FINAL RETURN THI MORNING AT 9:30 OR so ON TELEVISION THAT THE ILLIN-
INOIS VOTES WERE NOW CONSIDERED TO BE IN OR COLUMN, MY DAUGHTE JULIE ASK
ASKED ME TO COME INTO HER ROOM, THAT SHE HAD A PRESENT FOR ME THAT SHE
HAD MADE AND WORKED ON ALL THETIME FUING THESE TRIPS THAT SHE WAS
TAKING ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
AND WHEN YOU SE THIS PRESENT, YU WILL SEE SHE NEVER HAD ANY DOUBT/
AT ALL. HERE IT IS.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO SHOW YOU HOW UNSOPHISTICATED I AM ABOUT THIS
IM COUNTRY AND 35 STATES, AND DAVID EISENHOWER, WHO CAMPAIGNED VERY
EFFECTIVELY IN HIS OWN RIGHT.

RE:
Diane Tankoos
Pat Nixon called here today to say that she would
like to be sure that Diane Tankoos is given consideration for a job in
the White House office. Diane has turned in her application and sent
one to Mrs. Nixon as well -- her special interest is being on Mrs.
Nixon's staff but at least someplace in the White House. I know nothing
about her skills - she is a nice girl and a friend of Tricia -- went to
school with her.
I suggest you check her out with John Brown, Anne
Volz, et al at 450 Park Avenue. (Possibly she could at least type letters
- if she is fast enough - on Pat's staff or someplace like that.)

Elmer Bobst has called several times to
emphasize how very fond he is of Tom Evans.
He feels that everyone with whom he worked in
the campaign feels likewise, and thinks he should be given some
assignment.
Elmer feels Tom is someone who could be
trusted all the way through, and it means a lot to have someone who
has such great respect and affection for you.

John Davies called me Sunday night to say
that he was going to be in Ohio for a couple of days as his wife's
father had died. He gave me the numbers, etc. in case we wanted
to get in touch. However, he said he would be coming into New York
from there and that he is very much interested in the type of job that
Bob Finch talked with him about.
I believe the job Bob talked with him about was the
idea of John being available to handle some people who had to have some
special treatment. (It was just about that definite as I recall).
At any rate, he will be here in a day or so wanting
to talk about a job.

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Graham:
Blessings!
Kindly bear with me as I explain the enclosures.
When President Elect Richard Nixon gave his Victory Speech on the
day after election, I was deeply impressed when he told about the teen
ager at one of his campaign stops, who carried a sign with the words that
stood out in his mind,
Bring Us Together. This beautiful thought
moved me so, that right then and there, I was inspired to write the
enclosed song, entitled "The Prayer Of Our Nation", which is built around
that theme. If it hadn't been that Mr. Nixon relayed this incident, I
would never have written this particular song.
Many people here in Los Angeles who have heard the song, including
ministers, feel the song is very befitting to be used for the
Inaugural Ceremonies of President Elect Nixon.
Since it is so difficult to get mail personally to Mr. Nixon at
this busy time, with the Inauguration close at hand, a few ministers,
including the Reverend Paul W. Kopp, Minister of Temple Baptist Church
here in Los Angeles, suggested that perhaps, thru you, Dr. Graham, this
song, "The Prayer Of Our Nation", could come to the attention of
Richard Nixon, with the Inauguration purpose in mind. Because you and
he are close friends, after you have heard the enclosed demo tape to see
how the song sounds and what it is all about, perhaps you will feel led
of God, after you have prayed about it, to directly contact Mr. Nixon,
concerning this matter. While this request seems impossible in the natural,
if this pleases the Lord, then I firmly believe
"With God, all things
are possible. My earnest prayer is that the song proves to be a blessing
throughout our great Country. I give Him all the glory and honor for
the inspiration of "The Prayer Of Our Nation".
Perhaps you may like the song well enough to use it in your own
program or Crusades. Since I am an ASCAP member, the song is automatically
licensed for public performance.
More Power To You, as He continues to use you and those of your
staff for His service in winning souls for Christ! Awaiting your reply!
Gratefully, prayerfully yours,

Lord, hear the prayer of our Nation,
Unite our hearts with love.
Bring us together, closely together,
In brotherhood, peace from above.
Bridge the gap of our weakness,
Remove the thoughts that are wrong.
We want to follow Thy precepts,
Always in Thee to be strong.
Wonderful Father, we thank Thee
For all the joyful years
Of merciful kindness, bountiful goodness,
For blessing our Country so dear.
Help us to be ever faithful,
True to the cause all the way.
This is the prayer of our Nation,
To honor God ryday.
Amen.

Dear Mr. Hovey:
Because of the vast amount of mail we
have been receiving since Election Day this is
the first opportunity I have had to thank you for
your letter of December 4.
You may be sure that we are pleased to
see the interesting clippings you send from time to
time. With the help of such good friends and
supporters from around the country I am sure we
will all be able to make the Nixon Administration
the success the country needs it to be.
The President-Elect, I know, would want
me to extend his best wishes to you for the New
Year.
Sincerely,
Rose Mary Woods

Rose Mary Woods, personal sec'y to Mr Nixon.
My dear Rose Mary Woods;
Just a note about the clippings---and me. Even
before Mr Nixon was into the primaries I sent him
clippings of A.TIMES items, etc., I thought would
interest him, also an occasional letter, such as
one suggesting Marnie Nixon (the voice of the movie
stars) to lead the national anthem at the inaugur-
ation, a letter to accompany a book about the new
psychiatric approaches to mental problems, a letter
suggesting a book, How to Make the Rest of Your
Life the BEST of Your Life", as an entertaining,
inspiring change from politics (right after the nom-
ination.
In a recent bunch of clippings I asked the re-
cipient to tell me if they were not helpful, (gaving
everybody's time). I addressed them until very re-
cently, to Mr Nixon's campaign headquarters in New
York, attn. his brother or G. Douglas Hofe, Jr.
I would like you, please, to be good enough to
stop me if you see no need of these clippings.
I know Mr Nixon sports fan) has not seen the
enclosed L.A.T. story about USC's coach McKay' S new
plan to use O.J. Simpson to better advantage than
against Notre Dame, to beat Ohio State in the RoseBowl.
The only thing I'm looking for is the success
of Mr. Nixon and his team in guiding the country
and the world to better things. I'm 76, Cornell '14,
wife and others say I look and act 56.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year,
Harrold K Kovey
