TO: Herb Klein
FROM: John Ehrlichman
CC: Ron Ziegler
John Whitaker
Ken Cole
John Mitchell
In view of the waiting list of some 20 members
of the Press it has been decided (over my dead body) to
add a third aircraft to the North Carolina-New Orleans-
Indianspolis-Cleveland-Des Moines-Santa Barbara tour. The
additional cost of the charter and operation of this air-
craft will be pro-rated among the press and will result in
additional charges. My understanding from a meeting with
John Mitchell and Ron Ziegler is that our accountants will
furnish your office with the total cost of the charters and
operation of all three aircrafts and this total will be
pro-rated so that it will be entirely collected from members
of the travelling press on all airplanes during this tour.
Therefore; I think it prudent to make this ex-
planation to the travelling press in advance of the trip.
I assume your office will do so.
You must realize that we will be operating with
70 empty seats as a result of this decision. To insure
against serious economic loss and undue expense to the cam-
paign and the media your press aides must keep us accurately
informed in advance if any of the press intend to join or
leave the tour at any mid-point during progress of the tour.
Obviously, if we have capacity for, say, 60 press
on the Tricia and Julie, and of the 20 members of additional
press, 12 drop out at Indianapolis, the question of operation
of a third aircraft for 8 members of the press becomes a
srious economic issue.
In my personal opinion, the addition of this air-
craft is very bad judgment in the terms of cost and additional
management problems which will inevitably result. However, we
will try it for one week as far as Santa Barbara, and then take
a look.
I will keep a careful tabulation of the loads in
order to have a basis for a judgment as to desirability of
continuing this arrangement.

TO: ALL ADVANCE MEN
FROM: John Ehrlichman
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL POINTS TO
CONSIDER IN ADVANCING EACH STOP:
1. All calls of a general nature should be put through to
the Tour Office.
2. All paper work, memos to be typed relative to the Tour,
details pertaining to facilities, etc. should be referred
to the Tour Office.
3. The Staff Office should be the largest of the offices and.
have at least five (5) typewriters (be sure there are
enough chairs, the right kind of tables, etc.).
4.
As often as is possible, make the typewriters uniform in
make, model and print-style - preferably PICA type, rather
than elite. Please avoid IBM Executives altogether
the
Standard is preferable.
5. The Staff, Tour and Press Staff offices should be as close
in proximity as possible.
6. If lighting in the offices is insufficient, be sure to
make provisions for additional lamps.
7. Whenever possible remove excess furniture from the offices.
8. Be sure that all machines are operative before the staff
arrives. (i.e. if special plugs or wiring are required be
sure they are installed and working).
9. Have available at every stop an adaptor (to convert plug)
for the Telecopier.
10. Mimeograph machine should always be in the Press Staff of-
fice (be sure the proper ink, paper, etc. for that particu-
lar model is in the room and ready to be used.).
11. Typowriters should be near the telephone in each office.
12. Extra room lists and staff information lists should be
placed in the Staff, Tour and Press Staff offices before
arrival of the travelling party.
13. Always use the thank-you note forms provided you to prepare
your lists. (If you don't have any, contact the Tour Desk
in New York or Linda Underwood on the Tour - if you have a
copy xerox extra copies for future use).
14. Thank-you lists must be complete and legible. The general
list should be mailed to K. Odell, 450 Park Avenue,
New York, N. Y. 10022, before the travelling party
ever arrives. The VIP list should be given to Linda
Underwood as soon as the party arrives.
It is preferable that the lists are typed.

TO: Dwight Chapin and John Davies
FROM: John Ehrlichman
RN has mentioned to me that in this past week we
did not do an effective job of presenting the Nixon family
as a family.
In thinking back on the week I think he understates
the case. The three of us have the responsibility to do the
following:
1.) Where the family is walking together in the
same direction, they should walk together.
Dwight may have to slow RN and John may have
to speed PN and the girls. I will attempt
to help you coordinate and when I see you
getting separated I will try and mention it.
2.) All three of us should be sure that no member
of the family leaves a location except in the
company of the others. For instance, at B'nai
B'rith, Dwight should not have permitted RN to
leave the room because PN was not with him.
John should have noticed that RN was getting
close to the door and he should have caused
PN to discontinue the autographing and move
to the door.
I should have held up the whole parade until
both were together.
In Chinatown, Dwight should not have opened the
car door until John had moved Julie, Tricia and
David from their car to RN and PN's car. I
should have enlisted the assistance of the police
to make it possible for Davies to do this.
3.) We should all make it our business to be sure
that, at every function, every member of the family
present is appropriately introduced. Each of us
should check with the advance man for the name of
the person who will introduce the members of the
family for whom we are respectively responsible
and be certain that the content of the introduction
is satisfactory.
4.) John Davies should keep himself advised of the
times when RN is to make a movement and should
be sure that PN and the girls are standing by at
that time. Dwight should keep John informed of
any changes. Dwight should not permit RN to move
until the ladies have joined him.
5.) While walking, both Dwight and John should be
sure that neither staff, press or the Secret
Service prevent the family from walking as a
family. They should at all times be given
enough room to easily walk together:
6.) I will attempt to inform both of you of upcoming
movements but. to do so, I must know where you
are. Therefore. you must keep me informed if you
intend to leave the area at any time.
In the week upcoming. let's see how much good
family coverage we can cause by keeping them
together. Since Tricia will not be with us
(teeth) it should be simpler than it will be
later when the girls are more constantly with
us.
I'll welcome your suggestions on how to do this better.

TO: Advance Men
FROM: John Ehrlichman
RE: Separate handling of Nixon family luggage
In order to expedite the handling of the Nixon family
luggage throughout the remainder of the tour and insure its
arrival at either airport or hotel prior to the arrival of
the official party, the below procedure, to be supervised
by Jack Caulfield, is now in effect:
1. Airport Arrival
Supply three young men (in addition to David Shields,
the travelling baggage expediter), one of whom will be dosig-
nated as chauffeur or driver for the assignment. He should
be provided with a vehicle.
Supply all three with the proper local credentials which
will enable them to gain access to the ramp area. The desig-
nated driver will place his two associates at the foot of the
first arriving aircraft (Julic or Tricia). One will have, in
a scaled envelope, the room numbers of RN and PN, and the room
numbers of Julie and Tricia if they are travelling with the
party. The onvelope should be given to Jack Caulfield on ar-
rival.
Upon arrival of the second aircraft and after the Nixon's
deplane, Jack Caulfield will accompany the assigned man to the
forward cabin and designate the family luggage. Jack Caulfield
and the three men will then take the luggage to the hotel before
departure of the official motorcade.
Upon arrival at the hotel Jack Caulfield will enlist the
assistance of a bellboy and direct the expedition of the Nixon
baggage to the proper rooms.
2. Hotel Departure
One hour prior to departure of the official party, the
three assigned men will report to Jack Caulfield, to be briefed
on the procedure for removal of the family luggage from the hotel
to the airport. They will depart with the luggage before the
official motorcade and proceed to the aircraft, placing the bag-
gage in the forward cabin as designated by Jack Caulfield.
It is suggested that the local police be informed of these
procedures as they might be helpful in expediting the operation.
Jack Caulfield will take care of tipping the bellmen and
distributing autographed cards bearing Mr. Nixon's signature to
the young men who have helped with this assignment.

Memo to: John Erlichman
From:
Bob Haldeman
Re:
Tour Operations
Following are some random thoughts regarding various
facets of the tour last week. I realize many of them are
minor, and that many of them have already been tended to,
but thought it might be helpful to run through the list,
just in case.
Allow me to assure you, however, that I think the overall
tour operation was superb, and far exceeded any possible
expectations for the first week.
There is a real problem in the area of the material covered
by the detailed confidential schedule. There were a number
of changes made after the schedule was typed and distributed,
some of which were not transmitted to the people concerned.
For instance, on Wednesday Senator Percy was added to the
greeting committee, but I discovered that while I knew this,
from some source or another, Dwight Chapin was not aware of
it at the time theplaneewas landing. This means, I assume,
that had I not happened to mention it to Dwight in checking
up on details, RN also would not have known Percy was Coing to
be there, and this could create a problem.
I strongly feel, as I have mentioned to you, that the car
signs, bus signs, and all other display material relating
Cole
to the operation of the Nixon tour, should say 11 Nixon
Presi dential Special 11 or something like that, rather than
11 Nixon-Agnew.
I noticed in the motorcades that the drivers were very rarely
at their cars, waiting to go. I think this standard operating
procedure should be re-emphasized. Also, with the instructions
that they should notobe standing by the car, but sitting in it
at the wheel with the engine running I realize that we
don't seem to run tight motorcade start-ups anymore but I still
think it is far safer to have the driver in the car, rather
than wandering around or standing outside of it.
On this same line, I wonder if we can't tighten up the motor-
cade departure some. It appears that the Old Man gets in his car,
then we wait a long long time before the thing starts. I know that
most of that waiting is for the press, but I also know that in
earlier times, we were able to get them aboard, and the thing
rolling much faster. There is some question as to whether that
is really desirable. It may very well be that our present
operation is better, but at least it should be given some
thought.
Also in regard to motorcades, we have discussed the problem
of the police escorts, and I know you're trying to work that
out with the Secret Service. Let me know if there's any way
I can be of help. It seems to me it's imperative that the
2
entire motorcade be covered by the police escort, not just
the secured section, which is of concern to the SS.
With a little firmness on the part of the advance man we can
substantially reduce the size of the motorcades. For example,
in Pittsburgh there was a large number of VIP cars set into the
motorcade behind the bus. In a movement of that sort, there is
no reason for any VIP cars at all, ssince we were going direct
to the hotel and had no activity planned there. In other words, the
VIPs should have proceeded on their own and independently from
the airport to whatever their destination might be. While
the advance man is tightening up the length of the receiving
line at the airport he could also tighten up the number of cars
in the motorcade. This gets to the problem of the H&H car.
I know that it adds to the problem by putting one more vehicle
in the motorcade, but for the present at least, I still feel
that it is probably necessary. We have made good use of the
car at several stops, and it does provide a standby VIP car
for unforeseen emergency situations, such as the Max Fischer
type of thing. Unless we get the motorcade under tighter escort
control, however, locating the H&H car hehind the buses creates
an enormous problem. If you want to continue leaving it there
that's okay with me. I would much prefer to have the H&H car
directly ahead of the first bus, naturally, and if this can
be done without creating a total disaster, it would be greatly
appreciated. If it can't, let's leave it where it is for now,
and see how it works out. In any event, though, the car
should should be numbered for its position in the motorcade,
wherever it's assigned, otherwise there is complete confusion
as to where and when it ought to be located.
I'm sure that after all the discussion, there is no need to
further explore the problem of the non-speech in front of the
Blackstone. And basedoon the evidence of the rest of the
week, I think this kind of thing is probably under good
control now.
Since we are apparently going to be doing some parading in Phila-
delphia and other cities in the future, there are a couple of
points regarding the Chicago motorcade that ought to be given
consideration. For example, there was no advance man, as far as
I could determine, out in front of the parade a block or so in
Chicago, and therefore. no way of our knowing until we got there
whether there were any hecklers along the route or unfriendly
signs or opportunities for some sort of unusual activity. In
the future, one of the advance men should be at least a block
(preferably two blocks) ahead of the first car of the motorcade,
walking down the street and looking for this kind of thing. He
should, of course, have a walkie-talkie so he can relay his
information back to those in charge of the motorcade.
No one in Chicago seemed to be the least bit concerned with
the cars behind the RN car, or with the press bases; they were
just left to lag behind and get engulfed by the crowd, Obviously,
this defeats the purpose of the motorcade, because the press
doesn't see the crowd reaction at the time it's happening.
When we go into a parade formation in open cars, we should also
eliminate every vehicle between the RN car and the press bus
that can possible be eliminated. All that should be left in
3
there are minimum number of security cars that we can
get away with, plus the open VIP convertibles for those
who also need to have such treatment.
This reminds me that in San Francisco, for some inexplicable
reason, Tricia, Julie and David were placed in a closed car,
as of course should never happen in a parade situation.
As we have already discussed, the motorcade or parade routes
in Chicago and San Francisco were way too long. They would
have both been more effective at about half the length. We
should certainly keep this in mind in Philadelphia and other
cities.
We have got to avoid the kind of situation that happened in
Chicago on Michigan when RN's car speeded up and went roaring
past the photo truck, apparantly under the direction and
control of the Secret Service. There was obviously no emergency
and therefore no reason for this kind oftthing to happen.
There seems to be fairly substantial errors in the timing
as worked out on our schedules. We frequently arrive at
airports in the morning long before we are scheduled to, which
hou
would indicate that the driving time allowed is overestimated.
HRH
In a similar sense, there is still the tremendous lead time
between baggage call and time of departure from a hotel in the
morning. Since we no longer have to go through the SS check-up
operation, I wonder if that time couldn't be shortened. I know
should Shields
we're still shaking down the baggage operation, but in the past
a half hour prior to departure was, I believe, the normal
baggage call time, and it would certainly be desirable to get
back to that, if we could. I've also noticed that the bags
sometimesare not picked up till quite a long time after the
baggage call time.
In San Francisco the drivers of the VIP cars had no instruc-
tions as to what they were to do and were in a state of total
confusion as the motorcade was trying to form at the airport.
Also, there were all kinds of interlopers into the motorcade, and
there was no police protection after the number one car; the
buses all had to fend for themselves in getting out, as did the
cars behind the buses. Interestingly enough, the driver of our
car informed me that when Humphrey was last in San Francisco,
they cleared the freeway for his motorcade, while for ours
they didn't even provide an escort for anything past the first
cars. Since this was underithe direction of the California
Highway Patrol we may have to expect similar problems in future
visits to California. This may be something we ought to raise
with Finch to have handled with the CHP. Since that's a state
with a Republican Governor, I would think we'd be able to get
better treatment than the Democratic Vice President does.
As I'm sure you are aware, there seems to be at least one, and
sometimes several too many buses. We ought to be able to get a
4
better count on the need for having bus seats, so that we
don't go to the expensesand confusion of having extras on hand
unless it's absolutely necessary. He does a good job of getting
the extras out of the motorcade, and maybe that's the best way
to handle it, so we're always safe. We ve already talked about
some of the problems of hotel room arrangements. Let me emphasize
from my own personal viewpoint one absolute necessity: my room
should be as close to Chapin's as is possible, either the room
next to his or better yet, the room across the hall from his.
It has become apparant that, once we're in a hotel, Dwight
and I have to work closely together and also he has to be able
to get me quickly at odd hours for the Old Man. I would hope
you would emphasize this to the advance man when he is setting up
the hotel lineup. I know there are lots of other considerations
but let me just say that the ideal arrangement for me would be
to have the room right across the hall from Dwight's room, and have
Larry's room next to mine and connecting. The closer to this ideal
we can get, the better off we 11 be.
The telephone problems in the hotels seem to be working out, bit
by bit, and I trust that given another seven or eight weeks, we'll
have that one licked.
Further, on hotel arrangements, we have got to establish
clearly with the advance man the basic philosophy of the hotel
room arrangement system. Namely, that we get the key staff people
located close to RN and that we get the office, and certainly the
Secret Service and tour office located far away from him. In this
regard, I wonder whether our original hotel plan of having the
advance man's room right next to yours, and therefore up close
to RN's is a good idea. It's my feeling now that the tour office
should be way down the hall, and that the advance man should be
next to the tour office, rather than next to you. Maybe this
would impair your working with him, but I suspect it would not.
I still feel that your room should be near RN's, but I don't see
any real need for the advance man's to be. Thinking back to '60,
I'm suretthat that was the way we arranged it then.
I'm sure you've thought of it, but on this coming tour, where
11 be away from New York for two weeks, we should certainly
be sure that good laundry facilities are available at the
Miramar over the weekend.
I've had several extended conversations with Chapin regarding
movements in crowds, etc. but I think that generally this is
working extremely well, or at least so it appears watching it
from my vantage point. I don't know what problems you guys
may have internally on the ground, but overall the movements
appear to be working very well.
As I think I have already mentioned earlier in thisdmemo
(but since I'm dictating it into a machine, I can't go back
and find out what I have said) the airport arrival procedure is
still pretty messy. I know you included in your notes thetrequest
that the greeting committee be limited to ten and hopefully cut
to five. I think maybe even more emphasis should be given to this
point, and that a standard greeting committee should be prescribed
consisting of the National Committeeman, National Committeewoman,
State Chairman of the GOP, State Chairman of the Nixon organization,
5
Governor, Senators, local Congressmen, and one local dignitary (such
as the Nixon chairman or county chairman) plus, of vourse,
the inevitable lady with the roses.
Along this line, RN has the feeling that we ought to try to work into
7
the schedule a brief meeting for him with the local hacks, this
to be at the hotel or other convenient place and to last for about
fiftean minutes. This would avoid hanging around, waiting to get
into The Presence, and would also help to cut the greeting committe
at the airport and perhaps the VIP requirements in the motorcade.
In other words, have a room at the hotel where RN is to drop by
to meet with the group of local dignitaries at a convenient
point in the schedule, such as right after the main event or
right after arrival at the hotel. I know that there are problems
with this, but I suspect it's well worth the try.
I think we need to further clarify the degree to which you want
me and/or Higby to participate in drawing up the staff list for
airplanes and determining what staff is to move to particular
ugr
events, etc. I'd be glad to handle this in any way you feel
would be most efficient. I do want to be sure that if changes
are made in the aircraft assignments of key people or the travelling
VIPs, that I am at least consulted on it first, because there are
sometimes very specific and sound reasons for people being where
they are.
I talked with RN about the problem of adding morepress to our
plane, as we discussed with Ziegler yesterday, and he feels that
if possible we should try to make a couple of more presseseats
available beyond what we agreed to with Ron. One way to do this would
be by taking two of the RUW types and moving them to the press
plane, letting Keogh determine which two are to be moved on each
particular flight. He would base his decision on his evaluation
of who would be needed in the air. This might be worth a try.
RN is concerned that we have too many staff on his plane, and
that we should make this kind of effort to cut down on staff and
increase press seating. Let's try it, and if it seems to impair our
working efficiency, we can always shift back.
I think that covers all the notes that I have from the first
week, and having gone through them, I have the feeling that things
were really sensationally well done, since the sum total of the
critique is very minimum (or something). During the coming week,
I'm going to try and make some more detailed notes on the specifics
of our operation within the hotel and in getting the motorcade
under way, because it seems to me that now these are the two areas
in which we're not as efficient as we are in others. I know
you can hardly wait to review the results of these efforts, so
I will pursure them with utmost diligence. In the meantime, you
and all of your crew are to be highly complimented on a superb job,
beautifully done.
I think the advance men, especially, are to be commended, since
all of last week's operations had to be set up on quite short
notice and involved a far greater number of problems than even
the most experienced ones had had to deal with in the past. There
were one or two weak points which we've already discussed, and don't
need to be repeated here. Also, I laven't gone into anything on
6
rallies or meetings themselves, as we've pretty thoroughly
discussed that in meetings in the last couple of days, and I
know thatwhatever decisions we've made now will change from
day to day, anyway.
All in all, it's been great --- I justbhope we can keep it that
way.

RE
Supplies and working conditions on the
Julie Aircraft
As you know, we have a very fficient court reporter and
stenographer on board for the purpose of providing on an instantaneous
basis transcripts of press conferences and speeches that RN makes.
Due to the lack of adequate supplies and setup on Julie, we cannot
function. It is essential that we have an adequate supply of stencils,
carbon, mimeo ink, paper, heavy duty staples and staple gun. Some
of these supplies were on board when we started from New York.
However, due to the lack of mimeo machine at the hotel headquarters
last night, the lack of stencils, we were forced to take those
materials off the aircraft last night in order to produce a trans-
cript of RN'S telecast.
As you have pointed out, John, we have a good sta ff that only
can prove its capabilities if we have the proper working conditions.
I would appreciate it very much if you would have Vern adequately
supply the Julie aircraft while we are in San Francisco and have
United Airlines representatives work out an adequate setup for the
mimeograph machine.
One final point, we have gone to great lengths and cost to
provide phone comm unications on board both planes. In both New
York and Chicago the on-plane phone service when needed most has
only been 40% operational. This is another thing which I think
must be buttoned up immediately, and particularly since we are now
moving into the important news generating portion of the campaign.

Grand Ballroom luncheon
600 expected
Everyone is either 3 X 7 or must act like it -- planes and motorcades cannot
be held for stragglers.
MOST IMPORTANT - each person must remember whatever he or she does
reflects on the candidate.
Dress from now on we should each dress like we are in the office of the
President -- no mini skirts -- no bathing suits when in the office -- in
other words when we set up an office and when we travel we should all
look the part. Mod clothes are fine when you are at home or on your
own -- they do not belong on a campaign trip.
Be gracious -- when the local fellow (or anyone else) who is helping our advance
man boards a bus and hands us room lists, etc. it won't hurt to smile and
say thank-you. Remember you may be terribly tired -- but he may well have
been working all night with the advance man to get ready for this visit.
No one on the staff should ever be arrogant or rude to anyone on the trip --
each time anyone acts in this manner it will only hurt the candidate. Remember
the attitude of the entire staff at the Benson Hotel in Portland -- they thought
everyone connected with the Kennedys were terrible.
There is no need for all of us to call back at each stop probably one from
press -- and one of us will call Kay Kilgallon to get messages for everyone.
(Probably should get a memo out to that effect)
Might even mention point that not everyone will travel everytime -- at least
this may be true of the clerical staff -- there will be times when we may need
all we have on board and add some others -- but there may be times when we
will leave one or two girls behind and take some of the others SO they have a
chance to travel at least a day or two.
Insofar as possible all of the girls will try to take care of all the secretarial
requirements -- there will, of course, be priorities at times. This first five
days will be a good shakedown cruise.
