MEMORANDUM
DECEMBER 18, 1968
TO:
BOB McCUNE
FROM:
HARRY DENT
RE
INAUGURAL - NIXON FAMILY
Here is the Nixon family list as prepared for me by Don Nixon.
As you can see, he has been adding names from time to time.
He is in the process of contacting these people to determine which
ones definitely plan to come for the Inaugural.
You will notice, also, that he specifies certain family groupings.
Naturally, all of these people should receive the souvenir invitation
and I will communicate to you further information on which ones may not
be attending the Inaugural activities.
There is a memo from John Ehrlichman regarding some special tickets
Bud Wilkinson desires.
I endorse Ehrlichman's memo that he sent to me on December 14th,
a copy of which was sent to you. In this memo, he suggested that
Johk Drown be given an administrative aide to help in handling the
family. Based on my conversations with Don Nixon thus far, this
is vital.
cc: John Ehrlichman
to Rose 12/20
To:
Harry Dent
Date: December 14, 1968
From:
John D. Ehrlichman
Subject: Inauguration Tickets
I had 8 conversation with Murry Chatner yesterday (December
13) on the subject of Inauguration tickets.
He has an office at the Republican National Committee in Wash-
ington (Extension 198 - secretary, Barbara Higgins).
Family List:
Murry has been developing a family list with the cooperation
of Don and Ed Nixon and Rose Mary Woods. Bob McCune tells me that
very shortly Jack Drown will be coming to Washington as executive vice
chairman of the Inaugural Committee, and his principal assignment will
be the care, feeding, and tender loving attention to the housing, transpor-
tation, seating, and other problems of the Níxon family. I have suggested
to Harry Dent, and by this memorandum I suggest to Bob McCune, that
Jack Drown be given an administrative aide in the accomplishment of these
objectives.
I would also suggest that this aide be made primarily responsible
for making sure that the family list is complete, and that it receives the at-
tention it deserves.
Accordingly, I suggest that Rose, Murry, and Harry forward
their family lists to Bob McCunez the soonest possible time, and that Bob
appoint a family aide to Drown right away.
It is my understanding that Don Nixon has been preparing a list
of close and intimate friends, such as Chief Newman, etc. Jack Drown's
aide shonld be advised to contact Don to obtain this list at the soonest pos-
sible time.
For Bob McCune's and Murry's information, Harry Dent will
now be officing at GSA Building #7 in Washington, D. C., in order that
we have someone on the scene from the Counsel's office during these dif-
ficult days. If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact him.

THE COLUMBIA LETTER
DEC 3 RECD
December 2, 1968
EXTRAORDINARY SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICAL HISTORY
It is to be
found in each step in the career of Senator Thurmond.
The move to Washington for a place in the White House by Harry Dent is
another of those steps. Undoubtedly Senator Thurmond had a hand in this
move. If he did not initiate it, he unquestionably approved it and it couldn't
have been done without his approval.
This gives an extraordinary location for a South Carolinian, the former
state GOP chairman. And should give Senator Thurmond an even closer
association with the White House.
Thurmond made his first audacious move when be became a write-in
candidate 10 succeed the late Senator Maybank. He won, historically,
hut remained a Democ rat
But there were other unconventional steps to follow The most notable
was his decision in 1964 to move his affiliation to the Republican party.
A careful planner, Thurmond didn't make this shift without the most pro-
found considerations, and without consultations in South Carolina.
A Columbian who was present at one of the conferences the senator held
with fellow South Carolinians recalls what happened. There waa general
agreement that, in view of his philosophy. Thurmand should make the
change.
This was just prior to the Goldwater nomination and candidacy. Undoubt-
edly the senator hoped for à Goldwater victory. IL didn't come and this
was to be a disappointment.
Readily received into the Republican party. Thurmond purused his con-
servative goals as relentlessly às ever, and undoubtedly felt more at
home.
Meanwbile, his No. 1 assistant, Dent, moved back to South Carolina on
what was to be an important mission. He was to take the helm ae manager
of GOP affairs and objectives in his native state.
(Thurmond was accustomed to speaking of Dent a8 the "smartest executive
assistant" in the whole company of senatorial aidee.)
Under the leadership of Dent and National Executive Committeeman Drake
Edens, South Carolina was decisively carried for Goldwater.
And as time passed, the party got as many as 26 of its members elected to the
General Assembly. Also, Republican mayors and city councilmen began to ap-
pear over the state--an unprecedented situation.
Dent turned out to be a tough leader. There was not always agreement with him
in the party ranks, but he pursued a hard, fighting policy.
Dent was always readyto go to war with Democrats. He watched them carefully.
answered almost their every attack on the new Republicans and didn't avoid
being abrasive.
Just how happy or unhappy he was cannot be judged here. But bis job was a rugged
one, There was money-raising. for example. And getting along with the fellow
ambitious Republicans with their new-found success.
The year 1968 brought a curious combination of success and setback for the
state party. It managed to win the state's eight electoral votes in apite of
George Wallace. But it lost all but about four of its seats in the Assembly.
Most observers attribute the legislative defeats. to the emergence of the Negroes
as voters in volume. And they are probably right.
But the victory of Nixon was nectar. It came after the exercise of Thurmond's
great southern influence in nominating Nixon.
Thurmond seemed now in the top echelon of Nixon planning and association. He
must have thought back over that decision to "turn Republican." He must have
thought back with satisfaction
And Harry Dent wasn't exactly absent The first thing South Carolinians knew
was that Thurmond and Dent were in New York, visiting the victorious Nixon.
Then came the story, somewhat prematurely as many stories do, that Dent
was resigning as state chairman to accept a White House appointment from
Nixon". Later came the confirmation
The future will say how well the South Carolinians, including the GOP Con-
gressman, Albert Watson, will get along with forthcoming Nixon and Re-
publican policy. But even now it appears the Carolinians will have a voice
of substantial resonance--and at the top.
State Republicans may have trouble in finding a new state chairman--and
whoever he is may find it difficult to fill Dent's sometimes controversial
but pretty big political shoes.

Doar Charlio, Jim, and Earl:
I attach copy of a nowsitem out of the Marphis-Scimitor of Thursday,

Reprosentative John M. Ashbrook, Republican of Ohio, says that ho will
ask llixon to abolish the National Labor Relations Board.
I solicit your activo interest in this movement.
I do not bolieve that any law should be enforced by a separato burcau
with no right of appoil short of The Circuit Court of Appeals. The
Court of Appeals has to accept the finding if there is any evidenco,
not oven a proponderance of evidence.
The enforcement of the law should be through our regular courts. I do
not think that many of the decisions and edicts handed down from Washington
could have evor stood the light of day under regular court procodures.
I hopo I may have the privilege of writing you again about our troubles
with the Foderal Trade Commission, and other
bureaus that have been sot EP in Washington. I have in mind Unexployment

trying to put into effoct before he leaves office.

Dear Mr. Charlie:
This acknowledges receipt of your November 18 letter to which
you attached a news item quoting John Asbbrook proposing that the
NLRB be abolished.
I would like to see this Board abolished myself and vill co-
operate to that end. Many proposals have been advanced to create
a lobor-monagement court to handle such disputes. This Board has
arrogated unto itself far too much power, and under present rules
it is almost useless to appeal to the courts from the Board's de-
cisions. This 10 indeed a field which deserves attention and I
hope receives it early in the new Administration.
Feel free to write me on any subject whenever you have the in-
clination to do SO. I have great respect for your opinions and
judgment and always welcome your comments.
With kindest regards and best wishes, I am

Dear Tom:
I don't want to cause you any difficulty, but I would
appreciate your outting my name in the mill for the kind of
activity with the Nixon administration I would like, which
I had indicated to John Mitchell when I first met him in
April of this year, and I think I probably mentioned it to
you.
I have an active law practice and I am not in a position
== the present time to leave it, However, I would like to
devote from 10 to 15% of my time on a non-compensatory basis,
to serve on any commission or commissions that are established
by Mr. Nixon Where 1 could be useful,
For reference purposes, I attach hereto a xerox copy of
what it says about me in Who's Who.
I probably represent more trade and business associations
than any other lawyer and also I have done alot of speaking and
writing in the Federal tax and association fields.
I would like to be of service at an appropriate time and
as stated, I would appreciate very much your putting my name -in
the mill.
Sincerely,
George

Dear Roger:
Herewith is a brief statement of the advantages of Senate
Joint Resolution 12 over all other proposals to change the way
of electing the President by amending the Constitution. I had
nothing so succinct for your express purpose. I hope it is
adequate.
I have been busy gathering in the unofficial Presidential
returns for recasting by Congressional Districts. It is more
difficult this year than in 1960.
So far, I have collected $2,000 on this project and have a
commitment for an uncertain small amount from the National Cotton
Council. I was hopeful of getting some help from the American
Farm Bureau Federation, The A. T. M. 1. and the N. A. M. The
first two are now out. And Leo Bodine at N. A. A. is recuper-
ating From surgery.
The 1968 election is of tremendous significance. For the
first time since Retonstruction (1B76) the Republicans have
elected a President without New York. And, more to the good,
without Pennsylvamia and Michigan. This shifts the center of
political gravity southwestward. If S. J. Res 12 can be added
to the Constitution before 1972, the center of political gravity
can be stabilized at about southern Illinois.
To get that done we must move on every front: 10 Congress
For S. J. Res. 12, and against the directis election backed by
the American Bar Association and the national Chamber of Com-
merce; in the State Legislatures for a Constitutional Conven-
tion to propose an Amendment, put heat on Congress and prepare
them for quick ratifications, and to set them against the direct
election; in the Courts to win a decision or, 20 losing, demon-
strate that a Constitutional Amendment is the only route that
can be taken; and Finally, try by Act of Congress to put the
choice of one Elector in each Congressional District. All of
these efforts will complement each other and add to the momen-
tum necessary to final action and success.
Senator Mundt has promised to give a strong lead in the new

the business community to get the work financed. If such leader-
ship can be mobilized soon we ought to have some kind of activity

REFORM OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE
Advantages of Senate Joint Resolution 12 Shown
Senate Joint Resolution 12 proposes to amend the Constitution
so as to require election in single-member districts of the repre-
sentative members of the Electoral College who are apportioned with
Representatives in Congress to the People of America in their re-
spective States; and to require the statewide election of the twp
senatorial Electors who are assigned with United States Senators to
each State as a body politic,
These proposed changes stand foursquare with the nature and
structure of the Constitution which is based on States and People.
These changes would abolish the statewide election by general ticket
of all Electors, and establish a uniform system as the as the source
and elective foundation of the Executive Power.
In the event of a contingent election, when no person has 2
majority of the Electors, 5. J. Res. 12 would require a joint session
of Congress, voting by the head, to choose the President and Vice
President from among the persons having the three highest numbers of
votes of the Electors. On a fifth ballot the choice would be limited
to the two persons having the most votes on the fourth ballot. This
provision simply extends the basis of States and People to a contin-
gent election of President and Vice President.
Senate Joint Resolution 12 in the only Constitutional Amendment
proposed in the Senate in each Congress since 1952 that would "reform"
the Electoral College. All other proposals, save one by retiring
Senator Gruening, would "abolish the institution.
Briefly, the advantages of S. J. Res. 12 over all other pro-
posed Amendments are:
1. It will do all that needs to be done without affecting
any other part of the Constitution;
-2-
2. By contlnuing the office of Elector of President and
Vice President the elections will continue within the several
States, under their own election laws, without any interven-
tion by Congress. No other proposal permits this.
3. As a party man and an officer of the Constitution the
Elector is the vital link between the Constitution and the
legal parties of the States. These State parties, in turn,
voluntarily associate themselves in lawful but extra-legal
national parties. By keeping the Elector S. J. Res. 12
avoids freezing the party apparatus Into the Constitution
or putting under control of Congress. No other proposal
does thls.
4. S. J. Res. 12 maintains the majority requirement for the
election of the President, in the Electoral College and In
a contingent election by Congress. It thus maintaine the
tap root of the two-party system, there being no room for
a continuing third-party thereunder. No other proposal
does this.
5. Under S. J? Rea 12 1 (raud upon the ballot box could
affect no more than three Electors (one district Elector
and two at-large). Fraud would be localized and equalized
at the minimum value. (The present general ticket system
magnifies the value of fraud and puts - a premium on it
according to the varying size of the States. A national
popular vote system nationalizes fraud, utilizing every
fraction of it that can be made available). No other
proposal does this.
6. 3. J. Res 12 would conform thePresident's constituency
to the constituency of Congress, reconciling the sources
-3-
the sources of Executive and legislative Powers as the
Constitution separately establishes them on the same founda-
tion -- States and People. No other proposal does this.
The statewide general ticket system for the election of Electors
is the product of the State Legislatures. It 18 not required by the
Constitution. S. J. Res 12 would supersede the actions of the Legis-
latures with a uniform State-District system that was often used in
several States in the early days of the Republic.

Washington, D. C.
Dear Harry:
I am enclosing a copy of Charlle Knowlton's lenter of December 18 to Senator
Strom Thurmond.
As I told you over the telephone, this district is currently losing an
estimated $200,000 in federal funds due to being placed on "deferral status"
by H. E. W. The amount of money lost for this fiscal year could be as high
as $300,000 due TO later reallocation of funds not used on a matching basis by
other school districts.
This action of H. E. W. is grossly unfair, in that there are hundreds of school
districts over the nation Less integrated than this district.
It is our sincere hope that the Nixon Administration will act promptly to
relieve situations such as ours pending Further investigation of compliance
efforts over the country. We would welcome a study of this district made by a
group of professionals who know something about public education.
We will greatly appreciate your efforts in our behalf. Along with hundreds of
other school people, I supported Mr. Nixon in the belief that he would be
able to give us some relief.
Yours sincerely,

DRAFT OF LETTER TO SECRETARY-DESIGNATE ROBERT H. FINCH,
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION AND WELFARE
PIERRE HOTEL
61st Street and Fifth Avenue
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Dear Mr. Secretary:
I enjoyed very much your appearance and remarks before the Senate
Republican Policy Committee lunchmen earlier this week, I wanted
to talk with you briefly but there vas no opportunity to de so.
I did mention to Bryoe Harlov the main thrust of the remarks I
wanted to pass on to you.
Since that time I have read in the newspapers that you are seeking
the views of Members of Congress on the subject of education and the
anti-disorimination guidelines produlgated by the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare,
This is a nert sensitive and important subject, particularly in the
South. Most of the people in the South feel that the current
Administration has gone too far and has been meet unreasonable and
unfair in drawing up and implementing its guidelines. They do not
expect a return to segregation, but they de expect a return to
reason.under your leadership and that of the President-alect. True
freeden of choice, which means stRictly enforced freedam of choice
without discrimination, is the fair and beat may to handle this
matter, and 1a basically the idea not fourth by the President-elect
in the campaign.
In all the compaigning date by - and through the Thursond Speaks
Committee in the South, the President-elact's position as stated by
him in Charlette, North Caralina, Annaheim, California, and before a
meeting of UPI aditors in Washington, veus clearly set forth to the
people, and many of them cast their votes on the hasis of these
statements. Bafore any of these statements ware presented to the
public by - or the Thurmond Speaks Committee, they were carefully
screened by the New York office to assure that we were not emballishing
upen his remarks or distorting the meaning in any May,
In excence, the President-elect stated that education should come
first, that true freeden of choice without discrimination should be
the order of the day, that be vas oppeaed to forced bussing in any
form, that be would be most reluctant to withhold funds or to use this
authority in a threatening manner, and that local school boards
should be permitted to run their own schools.
Attached is the Rixen Victory Flyer which vas approved by the flew
York office and which vas distributed across the South, some 3 million
copies having been printed. You vill find in this flyer a long quote
from Mr. Nivon's Charlette statement.
I call all this to your attention because the course which is net in
this Administration on this subject will be crucial to all of us
from & political standpoint, including this Administration.
I valouse your appointment to this position of great responsibility.
I will support your confirmation to the fullost artent, and look
forward to working with you toward a VVT) successful Administration
and re-elaftion in 1972.
With best wishes,
ST

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Charles deGravelles, State Chairman LA Louisiana,
is very encouraged that be may have & good
switchover prospect to run for Governor in 1972.
He is Senator A. C. Clemeas, & ten-year veteran
of the Louisiana State Senate. deGravelles seems
to be very certain of the switchover and, even
trying to be cautious, is very optimistic about the
strength this man will have In the 1972 race. This
is the only Democratic officeholder who came out
for the Misen-Agew ticket la 1968.
Regarding switchovers in the South, we may be able
to pick up more, but prospects for getting Members

the seniority rule is maintained. The gentleman
from Virginia has shown Chairman Morton no
indication of switching. Instead be seems to have made

Dear Glenn:
Knowing of your current activities, I thought it might be helpful for you
to have this information. I am writing essentially as Public Relations
Counsel to the National League of Postmasters, but also as an interested
and active Republican.
I attended the League's recent convention in Las Vegas, and have had a
number of meetings with the officers since then. The organization is an
active one and is well run and effective. The two men most responsible
for this are Henry Heyl and William Hagen.
As President of the League, Heyl nes restored integrity to the office and
has given it a sense of direction. lie is completely honest, has a charming
and capable wife, and handles himself well in public. To my knowledge, he
is the only Republican president of a postal organization.
Bill Hagen is mainly responsible for the change in operation of the League.
Aa chairman of the Constitution and Bylaws Committee, he effected many
needed reforms. As Platform Chairman of the recent convention, he exhibited
-
an excellent sense of organization and an effective speaking ability. He
currently serves as administrative assistant to the president, and is ex-
tremely active in shaping the activities of the League. Bill has been an
active Republican in Calhoun County, Illinois, where he is Postmaster of
Golden Eagle, and runs a farm. He can be counted on for excellent and
meaningful advice on both Post Office and farm matters.
1 do not know anything significant about the other officers of the League,
but Heyl and Hagen are the two chief Republicans and the brains of the
operation. We will probably be taking over the League's Nationel Magazine,
"The Postmasters Advocate" and look forward to a quick change in the polit-
ical flavor of this publication.
While on the subject of Postmasters, e meaningful source of assistance cen
be had from St. Louis Postmaster Claude Bakewell. Aa a former Congressman,
he has remained a strong behind-the-scenes supporter of Republican causes
and is extremely well thought of by the entire community. He is not seeking
further appointment, but would be an excellent source of information.

As preeident of Midwest Curtain Company, he operates a subatantial business
of over 200 employees and has excellent organizational ability. He recently

Mr. Glenn Olds
NIXON HEADQUARTERS

New York, New York 10022
Dear Mr. Olds:
In reference to our phone conversation, I am sending the following comments:
The National League of Postmasters was founded in 1904 by e Republican,
Mr. Oscar Pogue of Texas. Its chief function tban and still 1e today, to pro-
vide contact between the government and its postal employees. Some of the
direct henefits of this organization are: its Health Insurance Plan, Life Ins-
urance Plan, Postal Advocate, Communication with the Department, and the dis-
semination of Postel Directives through the News Flash, bringing together all
Postmasters at an Annual Convention at which the Post Office Department can
talk directly to Postmasters, and holding an Annual MidWinter Washington Con-
fereace at which all State Officers of the Postmasters Organizations come into
Washiagton to train for field service, Today the National League of Postmasters
1e headed by Mr. Henry Heyl of Wooster, Chio. To my knowledge this is the only
union organization in Washington D. C. with a Republican President.
The National League of Postmasters is interested in helping the President in
Postal matters. We anticipated the election of President Nixon and at our Con-
vention in Las Vegam, October 4, elected Republican President Henry Hayl. Mr. Hayl
and I want to individually become acquainted with the Nixon Administration and
eagerly await the prospect of bringing the League into influence regarding postal
affairn.
Ve must begin immediately to correct the unbalance of Democrat government em-
ployees. I believe we can derive great influence within the merit eyatem if we
will lieten to the requests of the various organizations and then give them bhe
assistance to work out their prohlems themselves, instead of doing like tha lant
administration of trying to solve the government employees' problemo from within
a Washington Office.
Employee Union Officers are subject to the confidence of their members; hownver,
they carry extreme weight in shaping this direction. I can remember of no single
meeting of all Postal Union Officers, collectively assembled, to talk and discuss
these men's problems. The time has cnme to unite our government employees into
a more patriotic group.
-2-
I recommend first a meeting of all union officers, stressing the beginning of &
new approach to goverament employees. Second, this Administration should arcuae
these officers to relay this new approach to their members, fermenting 1a them a
pride and patrictic feeling conducive to the employment they have. The most valu-
ahle asset to this or any Admicistration in my judgmest is to establish pride and
patrictism along with enthusiasm in the work of its employees.
Again, Mr. Heyl, I. and the National League of Postmasters offer ourselves and
our resources to this Admitistration and President Nixon AB beginning of our
suggestion of a new approach to government employees. The League is reorganiting
under the very capable hande of Mr. Heyl and will in the prncess of change probably
appoint the Public Relations Firm of Stemmler, Burtram, Fisher, & Payne Inc. of
St. Louis, a prominent Republican Firm, to edit our monthly magazine, the Advocate.
Along with this I have scheduled the appointment of 15 Regional editors, one from
each Region, who will be readily available to the Regional Director and a direct
contact by us in behalf of this Administration.
1 am enclosing a. resume of myself. If Mr. Heyl or I can be of any assistance,
please do not hesitate to call,

SUBJECT:
National League of Postmasters as broad base for building public
support
Whatever may be decided concerning reorganization of the Post Office Department,
the postal service and its personnel represent an important "grassroots" network
of influence, The National League of Postmasters has just elected a Republican,
Henry Heyl of Wooster, Ohio, as President. His administrative assistant and
their director of public relations who edita their publication, which is sent to
722, 000 employees, have both talked to me and written of their desire to be
helpful.
In line with your statements to strengthen the pride and competence of career
government employees, you might wish to have whoever will be working in this
area pursue this invitation to cooperate, They provide a ready made vehicle
and channel of communication to one level of influence in every community in
America,

MEMORANDUM FOR
THE PRESIDENT
SUBJECT: Meeting with the Executive Committee of the
Republican Governors Association
Ray Shafer, the new Chairman of the RGA, called today to
request that the President meet with the Executive Committee
of the RGA at least four times in 1970. Be told the RGA
meeting in Hot Springs that the President had indicated
to him this would be done. He requests. that the first
meating be set se close as possible to the vinter meeting
of the National Governors Conference to be held in
Washington February 25-27.
Here are the new officers and members of the Executive
Committee: Ray Shafer, Chairman, Louis Nunn, Vice Chairman,
Richard Ogilvis, Campaign Chairman: Dan Evans, Policy
Chairman, Stan Bathaway, Mamber: Norbert Tiemann, Member:
and Russell Peterson, Member.
If the President dose plen to meet with the Executive
Committee four times daring the year, then I recommend
that at leaSt one or two of these meetings be attended by
all members of the RGA because prime governors such ae
Rockefellar of New York and Reagan of California are not
members of the Executive Committee.
Letters of congratulations to Shefer and Nunn have already
been prepared for the President's signature. If there are
no objections, letters of congratulations will also be
