Dear Mr. President:
Congratulations on your election as President of
the United States. How wonderful it is to know that our nation
will have a strong and creative President to give us the leader-
ship so desperately needed.
It was a privilege as well as an exciting experience
to serve as a regional director and on the National Advisory
Committee of the Women for Nixon-Agnew and to help carry
your message to the voters.
I believe so completely in the ideas and programs
that you outlined during the course of the campaign. You have
a deep understanding of the problems confronting us, and you
have developed imaginative, yet practical programs to solve
these problems.
Your firm belief that the private sector must be
utilized in the solutions of urban problems is one I share. I
thought you might be interested in the enclosed materials
describing a few of the exciting programs developed by business
and industry to meet urban needs.
My best wishes and prayers for success as you lead
our nation and unify her people.
Respectfully,

Dear President Elect Nixon:
I write concerning the article in the New York
Times of November 25, 1968, regarding the matter of con-
sumer protection.
As you may recall, during the campaign, I sub-
mitted through John Mitchell a proposed white paper on
consumer protection with some proposals which I felt
could be effective in advancing the cause of consumer
protection and education in the United States.
My office was the first state Attorney General's
Office in the United States to establish a Bureau of
Consumer Fraud and Protection. Since that time, many
municipalities, other states and the Federal Government
have seen fit to undertake consumer protection programs
implemented by the establishment of consumer bureaus and
the enactment of legislation.
My office has been called upon by many govern-
mental agencies for assistance in their consumer programs
and should you desire to undertake some measures or pro-
pose other action, I would be very pleased to make the
resources of the New York State Department of Law avail-
able to whomever you should designate as an agent in
furthering such a program. We will cooperate in every way
possible with you to make available the experience of our
consumer program which is designed to help both the public
and the honest businessman.
Warm personal regards.
Sincerely,
two

Dear President-Elect Nixon:
Congradulations and Best Wishes for a successful
term as President of the United States.
As requested, enclosed is your Special Report for
consideration and evaluation in reference to a "National
Comprehensive Preliminary Master Pilot Plan for Rural
Area Industrial and Transportation Development" which
certainly can be an answer to our many current urgent
urban problems, also of vital interest to all rural
areas in the United States.
In reference to your speech in Iowa on 14 September
1968 concerning the "Problems of Rural America" and stat-
ing a definite position and action program for "Rural
Development", this position and definite statements on
this all important problem of rural areas certainly
secured the support of a large majority of all rural
voters in the United States, but especially, in the
states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Ohio. Your rural
program, as outline, is certainly essential to the best
interest and the economic conditions in both rural and
urban areas.
Constructive action is certainly needed now. The
enclosed report certainly substantiates successful action
by private Industry and Government working as a team.
Our programs of work have been submitted and have been
reviewed, evaluated and considered by Industrial and
Transportation Corporations in all sections of the
President-Elect Richard M. Nixon

United States and Canada. The results of our submitted
plans and brochures have been timely, and the results
have been excellent. Many suggestions were received
recommending a tax incentive and other inducements be
provided for the recruitment of urban citizens for new

If we can be of service to you and your administration
in developing this essential "Rural Transportation and
Industrial Development Program", please do not hesitate
to give us the opportunity to be of service in every way
possible.
Thank you for your consideration and cooperation and
hoping for a favorable answer at your earlies convenience.

Dear Boss,
The attached schedule will reflect the broad scope of 8 mm, color,
silent, movie film which I took while assigned to your protection from
January 1953 until January 1961. During those eight years my amateur
movie taking was confined to color. You may recall that on our trips
abroad the professional cameramen and photographers did not shoot
color. Therefore, to my knowledge, my film is the only color of
those trips.
This film, approximately 7000 feet, is good, very good and excellent
as to color and detail. Obviously, some footage relating to indi-
viduals, scenery, street scenes, etc., would not lend itself too well
for use in a political, historic, Nixon family, or other type of docu-
mentary. I do believe there is much fine film here which could be
used for your personal family library, as well as for political and
historic reference.
A few years ago I had an attractive offer from a TV station which
was interested in making one or two half-hour documentaries. This
finally fell through and I still have the film intact.
It would be worthwhile for you to have someone with movie technical
know how, along with others who are aware of your personal-political-
historical tastes, to review this film. I prefer to have the film
possessed by you or the Federal Government. It requires a total of
about 16 hours to view the movies on screen.
Sincerely,
Jack

Dear Dick:
Hubert Perry and I would like to ask that you consider
Chief Newman for an appointment to Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
We know of his keen interest and knowledge of American Indians,
and of his ability to get things done on a level headed basis.
Because of this we feel he could be of great service to the
American Indians, to our Country and to you.
With this thought in mind we had a meeting with Chief to
determine his interest and found him very receptive to the proposal.
We feel that he would be a hard and enthusiastic worker at this
position because of his interest and motivation.
You know Chief as well, or better than we do, so no more
need be said about his qualifications. However we are enclosing
a resume of his life which may be helpful to you, or others
working with you. We are sending a copy of this letter and
resume to Bob Finch since I discussed the matter with him when
talking to him on the phone a few days ago.
Dick, we both thank God that you won the election and pray
that He will give you help for the job ahead.
Sincerely,

Lived continually with Indian people from 1902-1921.
Has lived, since 1921, with non-Indian, non-reservation
situations, as a normal middle-class American.
Has spent his work-life in education: six years at the
high school level and over 30 years at Whittier College,
a private California college.
He has been in the employ of the Provident Mutual Life
Insurance Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as a
Special Agent and Supervisor for 25 years.
Has always been interested in Indian education. In 1926
he took out the legal guardianship papers for an Indian
boy and saw to it that he received a high school education.
He then secured a scholarship for the boy at the University
of Southern California.
Some 25 years ago, Wallace Newman realized that he did not
know how his people, the American Indians in the United
States- and more particularly the Indians of California-were
parted from their heritage. He then began to study material
on the subject. He has collected a small library on American
Indians with particular emphasis on the Indians of California.
He is continually expanding this collection.
In 1957, at the suggestion of the Riverside Area Office,
Bureau of Indian Affairs, he was instrumental in organizing
the Mission Creek Band of Mission Indians, Mission Creek,
California. He was elected president of the Band and under
his guidance, a constitution and by-laws in the form required
by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, was adopted and in due time
approved by the Secretary of the Interior. The business affairs
of the Band have since been conducted according to the provsions
of this document. In conducting the affairs of the Mission
Creek Band, Mr. Newman has worked closely with the Bureau of
Indian Affairs for more than eleven years.

Dear Rose Mary:
The press is perhaps turning over a new leaf as it has been kind to you as of Monday
and may I add, it's about time.
I watched you in the Waldorf Ballroom during Mr. Nixon's acceptance speech and what
I saw moved me perhaps as much as the words spoken by the President-elect. It is
very seldom that one is privileged to witness the result of 17 years devotion and
labor. It is even rarer to know that in a fairly shoddy world there still exist
self-less people who can make of brains and spirit something beautiful.
Thinking in terms of not only the first four years of the incoming Administration,
but hoping and planning for the following four, it has occurred to me that things
will be a little easier for the President-elect if he has, serving on certain Com-
mittees, intelligent, unemotional, hard-working Republican women leaders.
The General Federation of Women's Clubs, i.e., GFWC, is an organization that has
played an auspicious role in this election. The almost 18,000 kits of "Work to
Win" were well used and based upon my knowledge of the organization, (both in and
out as I now happen to be serving on the GFWC Board of Directors), the following
suggestions are based on professional experience.
The President of the organization, Mrs. Walter V. Magee (whom you know), would be
perfect on any Commission or Committee on Morality, or Youth Problems -- Juvenile
Delinquency. As an Ohioan, she will also represent the prestige in this part of
the country that is due her state and surrounding areas. She has already made a
telling impact on her states and members. This woman is a marvel.

Miss Rose Mary Woods
She stays in office until June of 1970 and she will be followed by Mrs. Earl A.
Brown, first Vice President, GFWC, from Pennsylvania. Mrs. Brown is a conserva-
tive but an entirely different type of woman. She was selected as Pennsylvania's
Mother of the Year in 1962. She is a "home body" type - quiet and she was appointed
in 1967 to the National Association for Retarded Children Advisory Board.
Mrs. Brown goes out of office in June 1972. She will be followed by Mrs. Kermit
V. Haugan, 4440 Parklawn, Apt. 201, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55435. She is a Re-
publican, a former teacher and has traveled extensively. She's been past President
of her state Federation and she has held Division Chairmanships on the Federation
Board of the International Affairs Department as well as being Legislative Chairman
and Scholarship Chairman. I suggest that Mrs. Haugan be asked to serve on an
Education Committee of the new Administration. She will become GFWC President,
the June of 1974, which will be five months prior to reelection of Mr. Nixon, if
he so desires.
The other member of the GFWC Executive Committee, important to the President-elect,
is Mrs. Carroll E. Miller, 3rd Vice President, who lives at 820 Hastings Avenue,
Missoula, Montana 59801. Mrs. Miller will be President of the GFWC during the
last two years of Mr. Nixon's second term. She is a remarkable woman. Her work-
ing record is too long to recount. Sufficient to say that she is a strong conserva-
tive. She worked very hard for Mr. Nixon and has been a member of the West Virginia
Federation as she lived in Charleston prior to her marriage five years ago. She has
served ten years on the GFWC Board of Directors; she was one of the best Public
Affairs Department Chairmen ever. She will make a very strong, active national
President. She was one of the most outstanding Safety Chairmen the Federation
ever had. I feel sure she would be glad to serve as a member of the Safety Com-
mission in the new Administration. She's involved in many of the important areas
helpful to the state of Montana as well as keeping her fingers, in giving West
Virginia a lift whenever possible. This is a quality volunteer.
The following women are suggested as top-flight candidates for service on special
Committees based upon their experience, excellence and in terms of what they can
do to enhance the quality of the new Administration.
Mrs. Americo Chaves, 156 Westminster Avenue, Arlington Heights, Massachusetts
02174, is immediate past President, Massachusetts Federation of Women's Clubs. She
is Chairman for both GFWC conventions in Mrs. Magee's Administration; the first to
be held in 1969 in Cleveland, Ohio, the second to be held in June 1970 in San
Antonio, Texas. Mrs. Chaves (pronounced Chavs) was a top-flight Citizenship
Chairman on the GFWC Board. She is a Republican and has a large following in
Massachusetts.

Miss Rose Mary Woods
Mrs. Mitchell Doumit, Chairman, Public Affairs Department, GFWC, lives in Cathlamet,
Washington 98612, and is largely responsible for the leadership and wide usage of
our "Work to Win" kit in the recent election. She is a strong Republican and
handles groups of women like an expert. She would be a great addition serving
on any Committee.
Mrs. Lorraine E. Dudley, 3449 South 10th Street, Abilene, Texas 79605, a past
President of the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs, is a former Education Chairman
for GFWC, now serves on the Board of Resolutions Committee. Mrs. Dudley is a
tremendous worker, a strong conservative, would fit in almost any situation and I
believe has a penchant in the field of Health, Education and Welfare.
Mrs. James Segraves 518 Lincoln Highway, Belleville, Illinois 62221, past Presi-
dent of the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs, is presently Chairman of the
Education Department, GFWC. Mrs. Segraves is an avid fan of the President-elect.
She made innumerable speeches all over the country about the importance of elect-
ing a man of his calibre, and she spoke in many Negro areas purposely. She was a
brilliant President of the Illinois Federation and would greatly enhance any Board
on which she serves,
Forgive me for the length of this epistle, but when I see in the papers long lists
of names of people under consideration, or who might be suggested as possibilities
for positions either paid or unpaid in Washington, I think that a thoughtful letter
of this kind, prompted only by friendly interest, is necessary.
Of all the organizations I know and belong to, none serve the same purpose nor repre-
sent as a whole, healthy conservative thinking as does GFWC.
The American volunteer helped build this country. I beg of you to exert your influ-
ence to the utmost in placing volunteers who have truly earned the privilege in
spots where they can do most good for the Republican party as well as for the
American people,
Cordially,
She

COMMISSION ON GOVERNMENT RE-ORGANIZATION
Richard Nixon has stressed that one of the first tasks of the next
President should be a searching reappraisal of our entire government struc-
ture. He has pointed out that it has been thirteen years of many government
changes since the last of the Hoover Commissions that performed a major public
service in studying government organization.
"One of the first tasks of the next President should. be to set
in motion a searching, fundamental re-appraisal of our whole structure
of government -- not only of the federal department and agencies, but
also of state and local government, and its relation to the federal
structure."
"The two Hoover Commissions, which studied the organization of
government for Presidents Truman and Eisenhower, performed a major
public service."
"But thirteen years have passed since the second Hoover Commission
made its report, and during those years our population has grown by
some 35 million; three new Cabinet departments have been created; and
the whole pattern of relationships among governments and people on all
levels has been profoundly changed."
"There are new relationships between city and suburb; new patterns
of direct Federal involvement in the cities, and in education; new ven-
tures in regional co-operation; and new layers upon layers of authority for
the individual citizen to fight his way through."
Source: "Toward an Expanded Democracy"
Nationwide CBS Radio Address
June 27, 1968
Mr. Nixon has proposed a Commission on Government Re-Organization
that would have an even broader mandate than those given the two Hoover Commission
because it would not only be concerned with increasing the efficiency of govern-
ment organization, but it would also focus equally on the responsiveness of
government. In doing this, the Commission would be working toward the expanded
democracy (See sheet 451-1) that Richard Nixon believes America needs.
"The Commission on Government Re-Organization I am now proposing
would be a commission with a difference. It would have a far broader
mandate than those given the Hoover Commissions."
"It would throughly study ways of increasing the efficiency of
government organization. But its focus would be equally on the respon-
siveness of government."
Source: "Toward an Expanded
Democracy"
- OVER -
He has explained that the Commission would: 1) be charged with
finding every feasible means of decentralizing government; 2) seek new ways of
involving private enterprise and the great, vital voluntary sector; 3) include
a broadly-based membership; and 4) start with a new premise: what do people
want from government today.
"
It would be charged with searching out every feasible means
of decentralizing government, of getting it closer to the people, of
transferring functions to state and local governments, of creating new
instrumentalities where appropriate to involve the people at the com-
munity level directly in the decisions that affect their own lives."
"It would seek new ways to transfer functions from government to
private enterprise, and also to the great, vital voluntary sector--to
enlist the energies of those millions of Americans who stand ready and
eager to serve and to help, in the best American tradition.'
"Its broadly-based membership would include the best management
talent, the best government talent, and also the best academic talent
from many disciplines."
"And one of its charges would be to start from a new premise: to
search out what the people want from government today, and then to pro-
ceed to the question of how those wants can best be satisfied.'

on Mr. Nixon's staff. It is an evaluation effort which
shows a downward trend coming up in the very near future."
Would you please have someone call this man
to see whether he does have any good information.
Thanks.

Miss Rose Mary Woods
Secretary to President-Elect Nixon

Dear Miss Woods:
Needless to say, President-Elect Nixon's friends in California are un-
bounded. As we might put it, "cosmic" justice has at last prevailed.
I would be derelict in my duty if I did not present the matter of
Nixon's move to the White House and, of course, I am hoping that arrange-
ments can be made to have Bekins perform this service.
The most important aspect of this matter is a symbolic one. With the
past relationship, it would be somewhat humiliating to our company and
to me personally were anyone else to handle this move.
of course, the matter of service has to be the prime consideration from
your standpoint and I am happy to tell you that we not only have our own
facilities in New York, as well as New Jersey, but are well entrenched
in Washington in two major locations. This is by way of saying that you
will have at your disposal the best of men and equipment and, of course,
the deep personal interest and careful attention that would be accorded.
I am so thrilled about the outcome that I somewhat dislike dealing with
this mundane problem but, knowing our competitors as I do, I am positive
that early efforts will be made to make contact with you, and I would
never forgive myself if I neglected to take the proper action.
I will have either Mr. Orson Fair, who is General Manager of our eastern
operations, communicate with you or I.will call you myself within a few
days.
I cannot close without mentioning the very great personal satisfaction
you must feel in having given your own "blood, sweat and tears" over
the years to the cause of our next President.
Sincerely,
DPB/lfc
Daniel Daniel P. Bryant P.Bryant

P.S. I am sending a copy of this letter to the Waldorf Astoria not knowing
where you will have your headquarters. If you think I should write to
Dick personally, I know you will let me know.
