Dear Clint:
In talking with Johnny Reilly the
other day he asked whether I had received your
letter concerning Chief Newman. Yes, I have
your letter and his resume has been called to
the attention of the people who will be making
the recommendations on this position.
However, no action is likely to be
taken on the appointment of the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs until after all of the Cabinet
positions have been filled.
With kindest personal regards,
Sincerely,

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 bdvel headed basis. Because of this we feel he could be of great
service to the American Indians, to our Country and to you.
Whilt 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 thah He
will give you help for the job ahead.
Sincerely,
Chirt

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Schedule Committee
FROM:
Rose Mary Woods
Former Congressman Harold Lovre called on
December 2 to say that the Chowder and Marching group would like
to have something just for their members during Inaugural week.
However, when this was discussed, Don Jackson
mentioned that maybe they could have a party for RN's birthday.
This would be for Chowder and Marching members and their wives.
Lovre's numbers in Washington, D. C. are:
Office
202/DI 7-7557

His office address is 639 Woodward Building.
Please let him know what the answer is on this one.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Bob Haldeman
Dwight Chapin
FROM:
Rose Mary Woods
As I believe I mentioned previously, the
Women's National Republican Club is most anxious to have RN do
at least a drop by at their annual luncheon on January 25.
I told former Congresswoman Katharine St.
George that I did not think there was even a ghost of a chance for
this. They are asking Mrs. Nixon to attend and receive the citation
which they gave to Mrs. Eisenhower last year.
(Mrs. St. George understandsthat RN will probably
not come to this luncheon at all. However, she said that Mrs. Finger
said last year RN promised to come back this year no matter how the
election turned out.)

George MacKinnon called on November 14
to discuss whether RMN would like to be asked to drop
by -- or attend -- the National Football Foundation and
Hall of Fame Black Tie Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria
on December 3rd.
This is the BIG dinner of the year in
football circles and Fred Hovdy is on the governing
committee. George will not mention it unless RMN wants
him to do SO. Bud Wilkinson is also on the committee
but George feels this should be removed from any "Nixon"
people as such.
DO WE WANT HIM TO CHECK THIS OUT?
YES
NO
(This is normally the type of thing that RN does like but
I do not know whether he will feel he should attend this
year. rmw)

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Schedule Committee
FROM:
Rose Mary Woods
Former Congressman Katharine St. George
called to ask whether the President-Elect would be willing
to come by under any rules we want -- just a drop by -- a
walk on or what-have you - for the Women's National
Republican Club luncheon at the Waldorf Astoria on
January 25.
RmW told her it would seem highly unlikely
that he could come back up to New York for the luncheon
so soon after the Inauguration but that I would forward
her request to the schedule committee.
Mrs. St. George then said she would call
tomorrow morning -- Friday, 15th, to see whether he could
accept their invitation.

When you have an opportunity to do so,
a
I would appreciate being advised to whom we should refer
calls on speaking invitations -- our own people -- and
others who want to become associated with the new
Administrationa It is difficult to continually say we
just do not know ANYTHING.
