Wednesday, September 02, 2009 Page 3 of 3 MEMORANDUM January 6, 1969 TO: JOHN EHRLICHMAN DWIGHT CHAPIN FROM: BOB HALDEMAN Jim Keogh has expressed some concern that there is not much hope of his establishing coordination and order in the preparation of statements, speeches, messages, etc. unless all requests are made through him and delivered back by him. Apparently there has been some problem because Ehrlichman has sent assignments to Safire and Chapin has sent them to Buchanan and Price, and Keogh is left in the middle not knowing what is going on. As Jim pointed out, this caused some problems at times during the campaign and we should not let it get in our way as we start on the White House venture. Will you be sure, therefore, to direct all such requests to Jim Keogh and let him apportion them out to the rest of the crew. If you have a specific individual to whom the assignment should be given, you should, of course, indicate this to Keogh, and I am sure he will accommodate your request whenever possible. Thanks very much for your help. I agree with Jim that unless we now establish a clear line of communication, our goal of order and coordination will be defeated. I am sure none of us wants this to happen. HRH To: President-elect Richard M. Nixon January 6, 1969 From: John D. Ehrlichman Re: Medical Care for Cabinet Members and White House Staff The medical care furnished at the White House, at Walter Reed Hospital, etc., is entirely under the Aurisdiction of the Military. Members of the Cabinet and members of the White House staff may be desig- nated as eligible to receive hospitalization and medical care at military facilities by the respective Secretaries of the military departments (Army, Navy, and Air Force). However, this care is not free. Non-military personnel are charged at rates prescribed by the Bureau of the Budget. The current rate per day for treatment in a military medical facility is $49. President Johnson's White House physician considered his primary role to be the care of the President. He would afford only emergency or minor in- formal care to others. I would suggest the following steps be taken: (1) That you request Secretary Laird to authorize the care of Cabinet members, White House staff (and any others you wish) in military in- stallations. (2) That you direct Dr. Tkosh to provide medical attention for members of the Cabinet and White House staff (if you intend that this be done) by written memorandum which we will prepare for you. - 2 - (3) If you wish us to examine the question of free medical attention for Cabinet members or others, we will do SO. However, in view of past custom of other administrations, it would seem inadvisable to adopt a "fringe benefit" chargeable to the Department of Defense not available to other governmental employees or those in past ad- ministrations. J.E. JDE/hg To: John D. Ehrlichman Date: December 26, 1968 From: Charles E. Stuart Subject: Medical Care for Cabinet Members and White House Staff Attached is a memo from William R. Harmon answering your request of December 18 for information regarding medical care for Cabinet members and White House staff. Charles E. Stuart CES:sw as TO : CHARLES STUART DECEMBER 20, 1968 FROM : WILLIAM R. HARMAN SUBJECT: MEDICAL CARE FOR CABINET MEMBERS AND WHITE HOUSE STAFF I spoke at length today with Vice Admiral George G. Burkley (MC) U.S.N., physician to the President, with respect to facilities and services made available by the White House physician or the military to the Cabinet Members and members of the White House Staff. Dr. Burkley was originally a White House physician under President Kennedy and continued under President Johnson. Prior to that time he had some contact with President Eisenhower at Camp David. (1) CABINET MEMBERS We have been informed by George M. Elsey, the Special Assistant, Office of the Secretary of Defense, that there are no statutes, Defense Directives or Instructions or regulations issued by the Military Departments that deal specifically with Cabinet members as a category of personnel eligible for military medical care. However, for many years each of the Military Departments has had regulations under which persons who are not otherwise eligible for care in military facilities, may be provided such care when specifically designated for this purpose by the Secretary of a Military Department. These regulations are commonly used by Military Departments as a basis for authorizing care for Heads of State, Members of the Congress, high government officials and others. Thus, there is ample precedent and authority for members of the Cabinet to be designated as eligible to receive hospitalization and medical care in military facilities. Charges for this care are set by the Secretaries Page two - To Charles Stuart from William R. Harman of the Military Departments from rates established by the Bureau of the Budget for the treatment of non-military cases. The current rate per day for treatment in a military medical facility is $49.00. While the procedure for obtaining authorization from the Military Departments for hospitalization and medical care are not fixed, the general practice has been that upon request by the White House, the Secretary of the Military Department has designated the Cabinet member as eligible for medical care. (2) WHITE HOUSE STAFF Dr. Burkley and two assistants occupy offices in the basement of the White House Mansion. There are approximately six rooms, including the Doctor's office, and several consultation rooms. While the primary responsibility of the White House physician is to care for the President, Dr. Burkley's office has in the past on an informal basis rendered minor medical services from time to time to members of the White House staff. In this connection, small amounts of medication are dispensed, but it is the policy that no continuing medication be prescribed by his office. Dr. Burkley indicated that his office was not available for continuing treatment and that he normally referred persons to various private physicians in Washington. Bill Harman OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT-ELECT RICHARD M. NIXON WASHINGTON, D.C. December 26, 1968 MEMORANDUM TO: ALL PRESIDENT-ELECT NIXON'S CABINET OFFICERS FROM: JOHN WHITAKER, CABINET SECRETARY Dr. (Colonel) Walter Tkosh will be the White House physician and the President-Elect would like each Cabinet Officer to be advised that Dr. Tkosh is also available to the Cabinet and their wives for medical attention. In the near future, we hope to advise you of other Government medical facilities for use of the Cabinet and the sub-Cabinet and we will advise you on this subject as soon as possible. Sincerely, John John Cabinet C. C. Whitaker Secretary Whitaker bee: Haldeman Ehrlichman Harlow Chapin To: President-elect Richard M. Nixon January 4, 1969 From: John D. Ehrlichman Re: Medical Care for Cabinet Members and White House Staff The medical care furnished at the White House, at Walter Reed Hospital, etc., is entirely under the jurisdiction of the Military. Members of the Cabinet and members of the White House staff may be designated as eligible to receive hospitalization and medical care at military facilities by the respective Secretaries of the military de- partments (Army, Navy, and Air Force).

(2) That you direct Dr. Tkosh to provide medical attention for mem- bers of the Cabinet and White House staff (if you intend that this be done) by written memorandum which we will prepare for you. (3) If you wish us to examine the question of free medical attention for Cabinet members or others, we will do so.

Stuart CES:sw THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON January 15, 1973 MEMORANDUM FOR: TOD HULLIN FROM: BILL GULLEY BS- SUBJECT: Richard C. Nixon's Coast Guard Obligation There is no way for Don Nixon's son to fulfill his Coast Guard Reserve obligation while he is in Europe. There are no Coast Guard facilities there for reserve participation. There is an alternative available which would involve a suspension of his Reserve obligation. It is good for a maximum of 30 months. It would involve being discharged and reenlisted, with an obligation of 8 years in lieu of the 6 years obligation he now has. It would be served upon his return to the United States. There are no provisions in Coast Guard regulations for extension of the 30 month suspension. Hullin passed this information on to Don Nixon, Jr. on January 22, 1973, late afternoon.

Present at the meeting were the following trustees, which number constituted a quorum of the members of the Foundation: Earl C. Adams Clinton O. Harris Elmer H. Bobst Mrs. Patricia R. Hitt Asa V. Call Herbert W. Kalmbach Justin W. Dart Donald M. Kendall Jack Drown John M. Mitchell John D. Ehrlichman Richard A. Moore David Eisenhower Edward C. Nixon Robert H. Finch F. Donald Nixon Leonard K. Firestone Hubert C. Perry Leonard Garment Taft B. Schreiber Dr. Billy Graham W. Clement Stone H. R. Haldeman The following trustees were absent from the meeting: Hobart Lewis H. Ross Perot Also present at the meeting were Frank De Marco, Jr., Thomas P. Nickell, Jr., Jack Vance and Loie G. Gaunt. The meeting was called to order by the Foundation President, Leonard Firestone, who welcomed those present, expressed the regrets of trustees Hobart Lewis and Ross Perot over their inability to be in attendance, and extended an invitation to the assembled group from The President to a poolside reception at his residence following the meeting. President Firestone called upon the Foundation Secretary, Herbert W. Kalmbach, to read the minutes of the last meeting. A motion for approval of the minutes, as read, was made, seconded and passed unanimously. President Firestone, in his capacity as chairman of the Foundation's planning and development committee, then summarized the activities of that committee to date, entertained questions from the group, and also called upon committee member Taft Schreiber for additional comments. Thomas Bewley, Chairman of the Whittier College Board of Trustees, Vice Mayor Blake Sanborn of Whittier, and Dr. Frederick Binder, President of Whittier College, were then invited into the meeting room to make a presentation of Whittier's interest in being con- sidered as the site for the eventual Nixon Library and Museum. A copy of a written proposal was made available to each of the trustees, and, in addition, each of the above gentlemen addressed the membership on the site selection subject. Questions were also entertained. After the Whittier group had departed, there was a short break before William L. Pereira and James M. Sink, both of Wm. L. Pereira and Associates, were invited into the meeting room to make a presentation, with graphics, about the possibilities that had resulted from their commissioned study of the Irvine Ranch holdings as a potential site for the eventual Nixon Library and Museum. Questions were also entertained. The Pereira people departed, President Firestone took the chair again and announced that, because of the complexity and importance of the decision, the planning and development committee was not yet prepared to make a site selection recommendation. However, the committee would like to have the membership consider empowering them to explore further the feasibility and mechanics of working out a concept proposal along the lines suggested by the Pereira presentation which might be the basis for a formal tender from the Irvine Company. A motion to that effect was put before the membership and seconded. Discussion followed which indicated support among the membership for a revised motion, to include carrying forward a similar concept development with the Whittier people. The motion was so revised, seconded and passed unanimously without further discussion. President Firestone called upon the Foundation Treasurer, Jack Drown, for his report. After the report had been given, President Firestone stated that the planning and development committee estimated that approximately $150, 000 would be required in the next phase of comparability, feasibility and concept study. At this point there was a brief general discussion among those present, and at 4:55 PM the meeting was adjourned by President Firestone. Respectfully submitted, Herbert W. Kalmbach Secretary RESOLVED, that upon hearing the report and recommendation of Trustee Edward Nixon respecting alternate sites for permanent location of The Richard Nixon Presidential Library, Museum and related support buildings, and having duly considered said report and the recommendations contained therein, this Board of Trustees, in meeting assembled, hereby adopts the recommendation and report of Trustee Edward Nixon and does hereby select as a fit and proper site for The Richard Nixon Presidential Library, Museum and related structures, that cer- tain parcel of real property in the County of San Diego, State of California, at or near the City of San Clemente comprising approximately 150 acres, as described in said report, and do hereby authorize the officers of the Foundation to proceed with due diligence to determine the availability of said parcel and otherwise do all acts necessary and proper to acquire the said parcel for such purpose. DN2 JANUARY 11, 1972 FOR GENERAL HUGHES Per our conversation, John would most appreciate your handling the attached. Many thanks. Tod R. Hullin Rick Nixon military status MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON January 5, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR JOHN EHRLICHMAN I provided Rick Nixon with the attached information on the various service programs. There are a couple of alternatives to the draft but they require an initial 4 to 5 month obligation which would mean that his Chapman College program would have to be delayed. I discussed these with him last summer and recommended that he look into the National Guard but he decided then to take his chances with the draft. He's #37 in the March dragt. I would recommend that he consider either the National Guard or the Coast Guard Reserve Programs if he is interested in a minimum of active duty time. As you know, no member of the family has received special military consideration which could reflect in any way on the President. BRIGADIER GENERAL JAMES D. HUGHES Let me know if you want to get out of the middle. Jult ARMY 2 years - No school guarantees. (Volunteering for the draft. ) 3 years (Minimum enlistment). Choice of schools. Army Reserve - 6 year obligation. 2 years of active duty, 4 years of meetings. National Guard - 6 year obligation. 4 months active duty., remainder of time served going to meetings. NAVY 4 years (Minimum enlistment) Navy Reserve - 6 year obligation. 2 years active duty. AIR FORCE 4 years (Minimum enlistment) Air Force Reserve - 6 year obligation. 4 months active duty.
