Re:
Urban Coalition Meeting -- 12/13/68
The Urban Coelition was formed in August, 1967 after
a summer of rioting. Ite purpose is to improve the quality
of life in our cities by involving the private sector.
As of October 27, 1968 there were 39 local coalitions.
The membership of these local coalitions generally includes
members of minority groups and leadership segments of the
community such as the mayor, businessmen, lahor, churches,
news media and the professions.
Task Forces have been set up in the following areas:
(1) Manpower: considering the establishment of a nonprofit
corporation to create jobs and match them with the skiils
of the unemployed.
(2) Economic Development: have created two corporations;
one to give short term loans to minority group businessmen,
the other to give managerial and technical advice.
(3) Education: have created some schools for drop-outs.
(4) Rousing: working on privately sponsored housing projects.

Suggested Questions
Apparently the Urban Coalition has done a lot more
talking than doing and, in general, seems to be inclined
toward big government spending programs. Suggest you probe
them for apecific actions that can be taken to involve the
private sector without getting into huge government programs - --
such as federally guaranteed jobs.)
(1) What specific techniques would you suggest to
accelerate and broaden the involvement of the private
enterprise sector in solving our urban problems? For
example, what action could be taken in each of the
following areas?
(a) Education
(b) Jobs
(c) Housing
(d) Economic Self-Deveiopment ("Black Capitalism")
(2) What are the specific short and long range goals
of the Urban Coalition?
(3) How is the work of the Urban Coalition
coordinated with the National Alliance of Businessmen?
(4) Do you think the imaginative use of tax credits
would be usefui?
(5) From your experience to date which programs of the
Urban Coalition have been most effective?

STATEMENT TO THE PRESS
The purpose of the meeting is not to make any requests
of the President-elect or to seek any commitments, so there
will be nothing concrete to tell the press afterwards.
We would tell them the purposes of our visit, as follows:
(a) To stress the urgency of the urban crisis
(b) To describe the objectives of the Urban coalition
(c) To offer our help to the new Administration in
constructive efforts to solve the problems of the cities.
If We are asked about Mr. Nixon's reactions, We would
not go beyond saying that he "seemed interested in what we
had to say.
Possible Statement by Mr. Nixon
We would, of course, be gratified if Mr. Nixon saw fit
to issue a statement indicating:
(a) His deep concern about the problems of the cities
(b) His keen interest in the work of the Urban
Coalition, representing as it does, an effectively func-
tioning grass roots organization under broad and varied
leadership
(c) His intention to welcome the help of the Coalition
and even seek it out in his own efforts to tackle urban
problems.

He agreed that such a meeting probably should be set before
the time that the Cabinet is announced. Accordingly, [ would
suggest that you go ahead with Gardner to try to work out a
suitable date. If il cannot be worked out- prior to and -December,
when we expect to have covered the Cabinet, 20 ahead and work

Dear Mr. Nixon:
Congratulations on you rece. The leadership and moral support on your part,
in my opinion, was the main ingredient toward the '68 success.
[ regret that those of us here in Columbia County, Georgia, who have been
attempting to build a two-party system have no victory to celebrate, but we
shall continue and redouble our efforts in the future.
For your information, Columbia County starts about tow or three miles west of
Ike's "Lictle White House" at the Augusta National. At the moment-and for the
past 40 odd years It is a rural county dominated by one man, one family control.
The political situation is not pleasant.
I realize full well the demands made on your time and efforts Ln behalf of the
Republican Party, but it seems that LE we are to ever get a good two party
system established here, chen we will have to have the assistance and prestige
of those admired and respected within the Party. Should the occasion arlse
that you may use the cottage at the Augusta Nacional for 6 weekend or few days
away from Washington, we would like to arrange a speaking engagement or tour
of our County for you.
Again, congratulations and best wishes for a most successful "first four year"
administration. It goes without saying that if there is anything we can do
to assist In any small way. you have but to let is be known.
Sincerely yours,

In talking with Elmer Bohsi iv ask him io Give Referred 66 Heller
of the ten best Chief Executive Officers he knows in the Answarad country
in
the age bracket of 60--65, he said he would be glad to give some thought
and come up with a list.
However, he did say that sometime he would like to have just
a few minures with you. Says he has not seen you to talk with you at all
since the compaign began -- that he has been glad to talic with Stans, Tom
Evans, Bob Finch and rmw but that he would like to just see you for a few
minutes.
(FYI he has sent along some helpful suggestions on HEW / Federal
Trade Commission, etc. which have gone on to John Mitchell and Bob Finch).
It occurs to me that when you come hack from California you might
possibly have the time to see him late some afternoon or something for a
few minutes. (He just wants to be able to say he has calked with yon).

APPOINTMENT OFFICE
Dear Dwight:
I suppose that ever since November 5, you've been hearing from
a lot of people that you didn't know still existed. Realizing this,
I hope you'll have time to read this letter from a person I'm sure
you remember.
Belatedly, I'd like to extend my sincerest congratulations to
you and your associates on the campaign staff. It must have been
the most rewarding experience of your life that can be surpassed only
by the events yet to come.
You'll recall I wrote you last summer regarding volunteer work
and subsequently became involved with the fund raising drive under
Bud Litton. Now, I'll get right to the point by saying that I've
noticed numerous articles recently about the recruiting efforts
currently underway to fill all of the appointments in the Nixon
Administration.
I honestly believe the next four years will be the most im-
portant years that guys our age have ever known and I'd like to
work for the success of the programs of the new administration.
Therefore, I'd like to ask you to pass my name along to your recruiting
staff in the expectation of arranging an interview in the near future.
This advertising business? Still enjoy it as much as ever, but
I guess I've been gradually developing a craving for a new challenge.
Again Dwight, congratulations and my earnest wishes for continued
success in your new position.
Best personal regards,
Bill
