THE U. S. INDUSTRIAL PAYROLL SAVINGS COMMITTEE
I. THE COMMITTEE
A. Contribution to the Nation.
"Through the years the U. 6. Savings Bonds program has heen
one of the significant means of apreading the ownership of
the deht widely among the American people. The success of
this effort over the past six years has been largely due to
a committee composed of the chief executives of America's
leading companies which has organized and directed highly
productive annual Payroll Savings campaigna. These have
made a major contribution to sound management of the debt
and to our efforts to maintain the value of the dollar." -
Secretary of the Treasury Henry H. Fowler,
B. The 1968 and 1969 Chairman
William P. Gwinn, Chairmen, United Aircraft Corporation, 1a
the 1968 Chairman of the Committee. His successor, who will
take office as 1969 Chairman at the Committee's meeting in
Washington, D. C. on January 8, 1969, will be James M. Eoche,
Chairman of the Board, General Motors Corporation.
C. The 1968 Campaign
The Committee's 1968 campaign is an example of excaptional
accomplishment by the business community in behalf of the
Nation, The campsign was spearheaded by 1968 Chairmen Gwian,
end 54 members of the Committas, each the tnp executive of
one of America's major corporations.
The sales of E Bonds and Freedom Shares in the $25 to $200
denominations--bought chiefly by Payroll Severs-will be
$3,800,000,000, the highest amount since World War It and
more than one billion dollars a year higher than in 1962,
the year hefore the Committee begon its cempaigns.
The year's goel for the sign up of employees either 46
new Payroll Severe or regular severs for increases in
their allotments has been eclipaed, The Committee had es
its target spearheading the enrollment of 2,000,000 eavers
in 1968. In the first eleven months, 2,302,109 severs have
been eigned up, In industry and mong civilian employees of
the Government, total sign upa for the year will be close to
2,400,000.
- 2 -
Members of the Committee, as part of their work in the 1968
campaign, organized Payroll Savings drives in 22 major
business centers and 27 basic industries. These campaigns
also provided the pattern for community Payroll Savings
campaigns in 145 additional areas. Committee members also
conducted drives in their own companies which have served
at examples end an inspiration for their communities and
industries. In their own companies Committee members have
254,741
463,948
signed up 342,447 new Payroll Savere and 226,964 savers for
increased allotments or an impressive total of 569,411. 718, 689
265,604
193,488 of their employees signed up for Freedom Shares.
The Committee met with Secretary Powler in Washington on
Jenuary 9. The following day the Committee was joined
by executives of several hundred other lerge companies,
to officially 1aunch the 1968 Share in Freedom Savings
Bonds campaign. Upon their return home, the members of
the Committee and the businessmeo volunteers heading the
campaign 10 other areas brought together the top executives
of the priocipal firms of their areas and industries in
luncheon and dinner mestings.
The members of the Committee followed up 00 the mestings
with personal visits, telephone calls, end letters to
company heads and telks to trade associations and other
business groups.
Through personalised letters to the presidents of 18,300
companies, full page advertisements in the Wall Street
Journal, a sound motion picture, brochures, and publicity,
Cheirmen Gwinn helped to develop campaign awareness through-
out the country and to prepers the vey for the personal
sales work by Committee members and other Bevings Bonds
volunteers and staff.
The 1968 campaign also noted the tangible benefits that
come to the individual and his family through the
systematic purchase of E Bonds under the Payroll Sevings
Flan. In Mr. Owinn's words, "Human nature being what
it is, the Psyroll Savings plen La by far the sesiest
way for most people to save regularly, The payrell
SEVET doesn't have LO defend his vasolusion as the and
of avery week. He makes his shoice onen and his purchases
of Savings Bonds eontinue automatically until he eleate
to make a change. As cas employee empressed it, 'if you
don't 100 it, you don't spend it.

"As Lde from the practical benefits of Payroll Savings to
employer and employee, there la another very compelling
reason to support the progrem -- and that is patriotism.
Patriotism has not gone out of style. There just happens
to be a tendency today to take everything for granted,
Including our country. Supporting Payroll Sevings La a
practical expressing of patriotism, for employer and
employee alike."
D. Business and Bonds
Americans have traditionally expressed their love of
country and their faith in our Nation and in its future
by buying U. S. Sevings Bonds and hy serving as volun-
teer Bond salesmen.
The 0. S. Sevings Bunds program was begun in 1941 as a
wartine messure to strengthen the economy. From the
heginning, the Payroll Sevings PLan, originated and
conducted by business and industry, was the backbone of
Sevings Bonds sales.
Today Payroll Sevings accounts for about two thirds of
the total sales of E end H Bonds and Preedom Shares
(introduced in May 1967.)
E. History of the Committee
Because of the need to increase Bond sales as en aid to
the management of the public debt, Secretary of the
Treasury Douglas Dillon in late 1962 asked a group of
outstanding business executives to form the U. S.
Industrial Payroll Sevings Committee to give new impetus
to the Payroll Sevings Plan.
The Committee compaigned in 1963 under the leadership
of Barold S. Geneen, Chairman and President, International
Telaphone and Talegrapb Corporation. In 1964 the Committee
was led by Frank R. Milliken, President, Kannecott Copper
Corporation. The Committee's Chairman in 1965 was Dr. Elmer
W. Engetrom, Chairman of the Executive Committee, Radio
Corporation of America: in 1966, Lynn A. Townsand, Chairman
of the Board, Chryslar Corporation; in 1967, Daniel J.
Haughton, Chairman of the Board, Lockheed Aircraft Corporation.
The response of the business community to the leadership
provided by the Committee was immediate and dramatic.
(Over)
- 4 .
The 1963 campaign under Harold Geneen stimulated the largest
enrollment at new Payroll Bond Severe since World War II.
The Committee's compaigns in each subsequent year helped
establish new highs in employee Payroll Savings in E Bonds
and Freedom Sharea, As noted earlier, the yearly sales in
the $25 to $200 denominations are running more than one
billion dollars greater than in 1962, the year before the
Committee began its work.
The campsigns have received strong support from the leaders
of organized labor,
F. Presidential Recognition
President Kennedy received the Committee at the White
House, November 5, 1963. President Johnson met with the
Chairman and membere at the White House on January 12,
1965, and January 6, 1967, and sent the Committee a
message from Texas which vas read by Secretary Fowler
at its January 9, 1968 meeting. Preeidents Kennedy and
Johnson praised the Committee for remarkable accomplish-
wents benefiting the Nation. They and Treasury Secretarise
Dillon and Fowler credited the Committee and the business
community with making e significant contriburion to wain-
taining tbs strength of the dollar through advancing the
videspread ownership of U. S. Savings Boods.
G. The 1969 Committee
The Nation's largear markets and major industries will
both be represented on the 1969 Committee. Twenty-tem three
of the Committee members vill be responsible for organising
the campaign Lo their respective geographic aress. Their
efforts will be reinforced by 28 additional members who
will concentrate on the largest employers 10 their respective
industries. The Committee membership also includes Mr. Roche
as Chairman and his predecessors, Mr. Gvino, Mr. Haughton,
Mr. Townsend, Dr. Engstrom, Mr. Milliken, and Mr. Geoeen.
The Committee will apearbeed the Payroll Savings effort
tbroughout the country. The commitments the members obtain
for campaigns in the large interatete companies will produce
Payroll Savings #Lan-upe in bffices and plants throughout
the Nation. The community compaigns which the area wembers
organize in their respective markets will serve as 80
116
example for 198 additional major markets, many of which
will organise similar campsigns headed by businessmen
volunteers. The bulk of the Nation's large companies ers
headquartered 10 these merkets and those covered directly
by Committee members.

LYNN A TOWNSEND
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
November 21, 1968
Dear Miss Wood:
Among the responsibilities of the President-elect and the
Secretary of the Treasury-designate will be that of managing the
public debt. In this regard, through the years the United States
Savings Bonds program has been one of the significant means of
spreading the ownership of a portion of this debt widely among the
American people. The success of this effort over the past six years
has been largely due to a committee composed of the chief executives
of America's leading companies which has organized and directed
highly productive annual Industrial Payroll Savings campaigns,
Certain support and participation from the new adminis-
tration will be helpful in advance of the presidential inauguration on
January 20 to make it possible for this group of volunteer business
leaders to serve effectively in 1969.
1 understand that Secretary Fowler has prepared a memo-
randum on this subject as part of the changeover process, hut since
the campaign will be officially launched on January 8, there are
certain things that we should have answers to reasonably soon,
Among them are:
1
The assurance that the President-elect is in favor
of the Industrial Payroll Savings Bonds campaign as
it is now being conducted.
2.
The full participation of the next Secretary of the
Treasury in the campaign and his attendance, if
possible, at the kickoff luncheon at the State
Department on January 8. We understand that
although Secretary Fowler's resignation will be
effective before that time, he plans to altend the
luncheon on January 8 and would welcome the
participation of his successor.

3. Both Presidents Kennedy and Johnson have been
willing to be filmed delivering a short message
for a motion picture used in connection with past
Payroll Savings campaigns. We would like to have
President-elect Nixon do the same for the 1969
campaign. We feel this is very important to the
success of this campaign.
On behalf of the men who have served or will serve as
chairmen of this group, I wish to request an appointment with
President-elect Nixon to discuss this subject. We believe the
essentials can be covered in fifteen minutes. The participants in this
meeting will consist of several of the national chairmen who will be
available at the time and place the President-elect suggests. These
national chairmen, in addition to myself, are:
Harold S. Geneen, Chairman and President, International
Telephone & Telegraph Corporation
Frank R. Milliken, President, Kennecott Copper Gorporation
Dr. Elmer W. Engstrom, Chairman of the Executive
Committee, Radio Corporation of America
Daniel J. Haughton, Chairman of the Board, Lockheed
Aircraft Corporation
William P. Gwinn, Chairman, United Aircraft Corporation
James M. Reche, Chairman of the Board, General Motors

An early appointment would be most helpful and greatly
appreciated.

Dear Mr. Nixon,
Having hoped and prayed for the last few days that you would
"make it" because I felt for all my friends who were rooting for you
- I am now absolutely thrilled to add my humble and small word of
congratulations to you on your wonderful success,
You may just dimly recall that subsequent to your address to The
Committee of One Hundred in Miami last April, my good friend Jim Gerity
brought yourself and Senator Murphy into the private section of the
Surf Club where I had the thrill of being introduced to you both. I am
the proud possessor of a very nice photograph of yourself, Senator Murphy,
Jim Gerity and myself, with Senator Murphy holding the illustrated
brochure of "Golf in Ireland" (of which I also gave Your Excellency a copy).
I
have often mentioned in The Royal Dublin Golf Club that if you had
an opportunity of coming to Ireland in the near future that you would
try and take time off to play our Linka. I have mentioned this on several
occasions and I do believe our Captain proposes to write to you in the
hope that some day we might possibly have you visit with us and maybe
even take on the great Christy O'Connor.
Once again may I wish you every success and God's Blessing, and
remember that here in Ireland we rate the President of the United States
in our affections as we do our own dear President, so that we too share
his trials and his successes. I hope " will be sharing successes only.
I am sure Jim Gerity is absolutely jubilant - and you know we are too.
Yours very sincerely,

1 have known Dick Nixon for years, personally, ever since
he first ran for Congress. I have been with him and Pat,
Mrs H. Dil 07 Winship
riding in the same car in California, where my sisters
and their families live, and we have chatted together at
everything from American Legion conventions to meetings
at the Plaza in New York.
Dick sent a lovely telegram to us upon the occasion of
breaking ground for the wonderful J. B. Matthews Memorial
Research Library here at the Church League of America in
Wheaton. I am enclosing a copy of it.
Lee Edwards, Willard Edwards' son, who does our public re-
lations work, contacted Dick earlier last year and asked
if he would be available to dedicate the Library. It was
completed on June 10, 1968 and is a magnificent structure.
Mr. Nixon replied that because of the pressures of the
forthcoming campaign he would like to wait until the cam-
paign was over.
I believe, with all my heart, that I will have to address
him as "Mr. President, after the November election.
Nothing would give me greater pleasure.
When he becomes President of the United States 1 know he
will be inundated with requests to appear and to speak at
various functions.

Please keep the enclosed letter somewhere in a safe place and
hand it to him when be is elected President.
Also, please gently remind him then that we want him, and him
only, to dedicate this Library in the No. 1 Republican county
of the country. I know of no greater tribute that could be paid
to the late Dr. J. B. Matthews of the House Committee on Un-
American Activities Staff and of the United States Senate Committee
on Government Operations, than to have the man who exposed Alger
Hiss, and the man who became President of the United States, to
dedicate this great memorial.
We will have magniflcent color photos made of the exterior and
the interior of It and will send a follo of these to you to let
him see.
The dedication date would be set to meet his schedule and I hope
he will do this one and only favor for myself and for our Board
of Directors, the only "political" favor I have ever asked and
I have been a Republican for 32 years.

Dear Mr. Nixon:
THE CRISES FACING THE PEOPLE OF THIS LAND prompted me to write to
you soon after receiving the enclosed letter from Doctor Kenneth D.
Wells, on August 2, 1968.
In that letter we asked you to speak to the people of Utah and the
United States on the Subject:
A BELIEF IN GOD IS FUNDAMENTAL TO THE
AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE!
It is understandable that the press of circumstances in your present
commitment routed the request into the WB file. We received no reply.
WE BELIEVE AND PRESIDENT WELLS BELIEVES THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS SUBJECT
DESERVES YOUR CONSIDERATION AND YOUR ACCEPTANCE.
AGAIN WE SOLICIT YOUR ACCEPTANCE. K.S.L. T.V. will carry the ball for
Nationwide coverage. Some background material is again enclosed.

Dear Dr. Reynolds:
I have delayed replying to your recent letter so
that I might send you copies of the new resolution which 1 have
introduced to authorize an "annual proclamation designating
the Sunday of each year which occurs immediately preceding
February 22 as Freedom Sunday and the calendar week of each
year during which February 22 occurs as Freedom Week."
Inasmuch as S. J. Res 110 automatically died at the
end of the last Congress, it was necessary for me to reintroduce
this measure this year. I can understand your concern regarding
this resolution and I hope that we might be able to obtain con-
gressional approval.
One of the problems involved is that the Judiciary
Subcommittee which handles these resolutions is literally swamped
with similar measures regarding other special charters, holidays
and celebrations. You can be sure that I will keep you advised as
to any new action which might occur in regard to this resolution.
Wi kind personal regards.
Mallace Sincerely,

Let Freedom Ring
What does the Fourth of July mean?
The question was asked not too long ago by America's
oldest newspaper-the Courant in Hartford, Coun.--in a sur-
vey it conducted.
Many of the answers it. received were, to put it mildly, ap-
palling and disheartening. Among them Were these:
"The Fourth of July means some sort of independence. To
the working man it means a day off."
"Because it's been done for generatious."
"To be truthful with you, I don't know and my wife
doesn't know, either."
Have Americans really forgotten what their country is all
about? They certainly have if they fail to realize that Inde-
pendence Day commemorates not only the birth of America as
a free nation but all that this choice land stands for,
Other peoples look at Americans and call us blessed -
not only for our material abundance but also for our freedoms
based on consent of the governed, on welf-rule and limitations
upon government power, and on opportunity for all.
Americans have an obligation to protect our heritage 80 it
can be passed on, To this task we all should pledge our lives,
our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

few years a letter pops into my mind that I should write and this is one
such time. 1 am most anxious to be able IO say in the future to any
employer that I once worked for a President of the United States. This
time I know I'll be able to make such a statement.
At present, and for the past two years, I've been a Secretary with a
local Ad Agency located at 17th and Market Streets. It so happens that
your campaign headquarters 15 conveniently located at 17th and Chestnut
Street --- just one block away, You can be sure I shall offer my service
to them for anything I may do to put DICK NIXON in the White House,
Meanwhile, if you think there is anything 1 can do to help, please write
to me, The kids would so enjoy a personal note from you. Anyway, if
you could let me know just where I could shake hands with you in Philadelphia
(believe on the 16th of July (?) -- this would make me happy indee
Much luck always and if you can take a minute from your schedul drop

Dear Dick:
This letter is an invitation to come to our state sometime
during the next six months to help with a Republican fund raising
event and to provide you with an opportunity for exposing yourself
before the citizens of Washington State.
There is a atrong desire on the part of Republican State Central
and Finance Committees in many of our key Republican counties to have
you participate in the 1968 Republican victory efforts.
1 can appreciate the fact that you have a busy schedule and it
may not be possible for you to commit a specific date; however, I
would consider ir a personal favor if you think you could include
the State of Washington in your travel plans in the next few months.
I understand you have advised Mr. George Gunn, our Republican
State Finance Chairman and also our State Chairman, C. Montgomery
Johnson that you would come to the State of Washington, but have
not firmed up a date. Perhaps you will have a better idea in the
near future.
Details for a specific apeaking engagement from the Washington
State Republican offices would be forthcoming once we know of your
plans. The Washington State Republican Party would expect to reim-
burse you for travel expenses.
1 look forward to your favorable reply and if I can be of any
assistance to you, please let me know.

Political Projecting on Governors' Conference
1.
This Governors' Conference will select a replacement for Governor Chalee
as Chairman of the Republican Governors' Association. Both Governor
Shafer and Governor Reagan are vying for the job, although the Reagan
people swear they are not. Reagan should get it ii he goes after it,
2.
Ray Bliss will speak Lo the governors on Saturday for about 45 minutes.
No one seems to know exactly what he expects to say to them. There is
some speculation that he will try to get a resolution passed. but the
governors are requesting that he (Bliss) be kept on as National Chairman
of the Republican Party. If this appears TO be the case by tomorrow, we
shall get a couple of our friends to submarine the resolution on the grounds
that the National Chairmanship is a matter that is entirely up to the President.
3.
Tim Babcock [eels he ought to be offered a Federal job since he was an
early supporter of RN and has now been ousted from the governorship of
Montana.
4. If you see Paul Laxalt, encourage him to run for the Senate in '70
(Senator Cannon's seat).
5.
As a result of the last election, we picked up seven new governors (Moore
in West Virginia, Davis in Vermont, Walter Peterson in New Hampshire.
Bob Ray in Iowa, Russel Peterson in Delaware, Whitcomb in Indiana, and
Ogilvie in Illinois) and lost two (Babcock in Montana and Chafee in Rhode
Island) for a net gain of five. When Governor Agnew resigns his position
in Maryland, we will then have a grand total of thirty statehouses. It
might be nice for RN to mention these new governors along with Frank Farrar,
the governor-elect in South Dakota in his remarks on Friday. Also indicate
that RN will take greater interest in the governors¹ races in Virginia and
New Jersey which will be held in November, 1969.
6.
The Republican governors feel that LBJ did a great deal to improve Federal-
State relations and are anxious that the incoming Administration will try to
improve on the work that has already been done. Governor Agnew will in-
dicate the Administration's interest in so doing, but it would be good for them
to hear it from RN as well.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
RN
FROM:
ELLSWORTH
RE:
AGNEW'S ROLE IN CONNECTION WITH THE GOVERNORS CONFERENCE
(1)
Agnew has already had his friend Lasalt
stimulate his friend Reagan to make himself available for
the Chairmanship on the ground that not only should the Chair-
man be a Westerner (Following Chafee's term) but also, it
should be a strong Westerner. (Agnew's basic motive of
course was to set up a power center within the Governors
Conference that would be competitive with Rockefeller).
(2)
Agnew (supported by our staff) will make it
clear that the Republican Governors are to provide their
patronage inputs through him.
(3)
Agnew is scheduled to make an address to the
Governors in an executive session in which he will talk
about welcoming initiatives from the Governors in connection
with the revenue sharing/bloc grant syndrome and also
equilization of welfare payments.
On Friday afternoon Agnew and I will bring all the
Governors except those you have already seen over to Walter
Annenberg's, together with appropriate still photograph
coverage. This will be done in a mode not yet determined.
It will have to be played by ear as to whether, at first, one
or perhaps a small group of 2 or 3 will be brought to be
followed by the others. At some point during the two-hour
period 1t is probable that substantially the entire group
of those eligible will be there (excepted from the Annenberg
meetings: N. Rockefeller, Shafer, Kirk, Reagan, Nunn, Chafee,
Babcock, Romney, Volpe and Hickel.
The Big Picture.
The above are specifics of a maneuver designed
to establish Agnew as a credible and viable control point be-
tween the Republican Governors on the one hand and the Presi-
dent on the other.
NB:
Agnew will have no press conferences and will
in fact make it a point to avoid the press, or 1f encounters
with the press are unavoidable, to be a source of no news.
