Political Projecting on Governors' Conference
1. This Governors' Conference will select a replacement for Governor Chafee
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 if he goes after it.
2. Ray Bliss will speak to 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 grounda
that the National Chairmanship is a matter that ie entirely up to the Presider
3. Tim Babcock feels 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 live. When Governor Agnew resigna his position
in Maryland, we will then have a grand total of thirty statehouses. It
might be nice for RN to mention these new governora along with Frank Farr:
the governor-elect in South Dakota in his remarks on Friday. Alao indicate
that RN will take greater interest in the governors' races in Virginia and
New Jersey which will be held in November, 1969.
6. The Republican governore 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 80 doing, but it would be good for the:
to hear it from RN as well.

FROM: Ellaworth

RE:
Agnew's role in connection with the Governore Conference
(1) Agnew has already had his friend Lasalt stimulte bie
friend Reagan to make himself available for the Chairmanship on the
ground that not only should the Chairman he a Westerner (folloving
Chafee's term) but also it should be a strong Westerner, (Annew's
basic motive of course Vas to set up a power center within the
Covernors Conference that would be competitive with Rockefeller.)
(2) Agaen (supported by our staff) vill make it clear that
the Republican Governors are to provide their patronage inpute
through him.
(3) Agnew 18 schedulad to make an address to the Governore
in an executive session in which be will talk about welcoming
initiatives from the Governore it connection with the revenue
sharlug/bloc grant syndrome and also equilization of welfare payments.
On Friday afternoon Agnew auf I will bring all the Covernore
except those your have already seen over to Walter Annenberg'e, together
with appropriate still photograph coverage. This will be done 10
&
mode not yet determined. It will have to be played hy ear as to
Wicther, 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 it le probable that substantially the entire group
of those eligible will be there (excepted from the Annenberg meetings:
N. Rockefeller, Shafer, Kirk, Reagan, Nunn, Chafee, Baboock, Romney,
Volpe and Rickel.
The Big Ficture.
The above are specifica of a maneuver designed to establish
Agnew as a credible and viable control point between the Republican
Covernors OD the one hand and the President on the other.
NB: Agnew will have no press confereuces and will in fact
make it a point to avoid the press OR if encounters with the press
are unavoidable, to be a Bource of DO news.

WALTER ANNENBERG to rmw:
"I think this is an exciting period. I am so confident
that we are goingt o have a businesslike Administration that
I think all of the cynical intellectuals will get the shock of
their lives within six months or a year. I was terribly disappointed
in the character of the news handling of the New York Times.
I have never seen anything so negative as the handling of the
news coverage of the President . It underscores the weakness of
the top at the New York Times -- all of them think they edit the
paper -- including some of the reporters.
Governor's Conference -- he said he would be coming and
he would be staying with us -- I have a couplemfx of cottages
-- I could put you up too - why don't you speak to Mrs. Nixon?
Inasmuch as XX this is a partisan affair RMN probably would not want
be using - check whether this being a Republican Governors'
Confernnee - I would be very happy to let them use my Lockheed Jet

PATRICK J. BUCHANAN
REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR'S CONFERENCE
It is an honor to be toasted by the man who holds the one
political job that I wanted and was never able to get (pause).
They did give me a consolation prize in November, however. (pause)
But, for the longest time I had the impression that Governor Reagan
wanted the consolation prize, too. (pause)
In seriousness, I would like to address you for a very few
minutes on the objective that I believe that we, as Republicans
should set for ourselves, in the coming four years. We 80 to
Washington and find that for the first time in a century, the
oppoaition controls both Houses of the Congress. We look at any
aample of public opinion in the nation and we find that in terms of
allegiance of the electorate, we are far and away still the minority
party in this nation.
One of the objectives of this Administration will be to
change that. One of the objectives of this new Administration is to
build the New Majority, the successor coaltion to the political
alliance formed by Franklin Roosevelt which has governed America
and held the allegiance of the American electorate for the last of
this century.
The final third of this century, we must make the Republican
reatoration. We hold in our collective hands, in this room, enough
of the inatrumenta of government power, to accomplish that objective.
We hold the Chief Executive office of the United States and of six of
aeven of its greatest and most populets states.
We have the Whice House and the State Houses in New York,
California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Michigan, and more than a
acore of other states. We will not win an opportunity like this again,
if we forfeit the one we have coday.
It will take co-ordination and co-operation between us, as we
have not had in the past. It will cake a concerted effort for the
Republican Party as a political instrument to win back the allegiance
of hundreds of thousands of black Americans who are disillusioned
- 2 -
with our party today. We need to win back the workingmen and
working women of America, union and non-union, to the Republican
banner, We must inter forever in the history books the myth that
the Republican Party is enemy to the common man. We must build in
addition to the Republican heartland between the Appalachians
and the Rockies, an impregnable Republican fortress of the modern
South.
To accomplish this, we must open our party to new men and
women, to the young. We must make our party the center forum
in which the great foreign and domestic debates of the future are
conducted.
To build this historic New Majority in American politics will
require far more than effective and efficient party work at the precinct
level in every state in America. It will depend how men who bear the
Republican label conduct themselves in public office. This is our
opportunity; and it is one of the missions to which I have
committed myself for the next four years: it 18 a mission that will
not succeed without your helf and your assistance, that ie what I ask
today.

Dear Mr. Nixon:
The Republican Governors Association will be holding
their semiannual meeting in Palm Springs, California from the even-
ing of December fifth through the seventh.
On behalf of the Association it gives me a great deal
of pleasure to invite you to attend this meeting at any time that is
convenient for you. We do not want to make unjust demands upon
what we know will be a decision making period for you. We do know
that you would have a great deal to contribute to the conference and
we are all willing to arrange our schedule to accommodate whatever
is convenient for you.
We thought it would be helpful if you could bring along
any appointees you might have made in the area of federal-state rela-
tionships. We would also like to invite Ted Agnew and any staff he
might like to bring.
I know what a hectic schedule you are keeping. and will
be during those dates, and if you cannot fit this into your schedule we
certainly will understand. We want to assure you, however, that any
time you could spend with u6, no matter how short a period it might
seem, would be very helpful and appreciated.

Dear Hugh:
Enclosed are the suggested texts for the President-elect for
his use January 3 in his statement for the Roche top management
movie and for his message to the meeting of the U. S. Industrial
Payroll Savings Committee on January 8.
The movie will be used throughout the country in meetings of
top executives called together in order to persuade them to give
strong leadership to the Payroll Savings Plan in their companies.
The President-elect's remarks in the movie will be used, too,
should there be production of a portable audio visual presentation
for use with top executives in their offices.
The meeting of the Committee will be the occasion for honoring
the 1968 members, who served with William P. Gwinn, Chairman, United
Aircraft Corporation, and for launching the 1969 campaign which will
be under the chairmanship of James M. Roche, Chairman of the Board,
General Motors Corporation. Enclosed is a list of the 57 members
of Jim Roche's Committee. ( Roche brings the total to 58. In addition,
the Secretary of the Treasury is EX officio General Chairman,)
Also enclosed is a background statement on the Committee should
additional information be needed by the person who works on the
President-elect's message to the meeting.
It is a real pleasure to work with you.
With my best wishes for the Holiday Season and the New Year.

SUGGESTED MESSAGE BY THE PRESIDENT-ELECT
FOR JAMES M. ROCHE TOP MANAGEMENT FILM,
TO BE FILMED IN HOLLYWOOD, JANUARY 3, 1969
I am glad to join with Jim Roche and the members of the U. S.
Industrial Payroll Savings Committee in this special appeal for your
active participation in the 1969 Share in America Payroll Savings Campaign.
The United States Savings Bonds program, of which Payroll Savings
is the heart, is one of your government's most important tools in the
management of the public debt. It contributes in a major way to the
soundness of our economy, and thus to protecting the purchasing power
of the dollar. As businessmen, you are well aware of how important
this is to the conduct of your own business, and indeed to the success-
ful operation of our whole private enterprise system.
But the Bond program and the Payroll Savings Plan can only be
as successful as you make them. They will thrive only to the extent
that you put your own enthusiastic endorsement behind your company's
campaign. And this you will do only to the extent that you as a
businessman decide that it is good business for your employees to be
thrifty; good business for your community to have reserves of consumer
purchasing power; good business for your country to have a larger
proportion of its debt in the hands of individual citizens.
The Savings Bonds program offers the opportunity for every citizen
to be a shareholder in his country. I hope that you will want to put
that opportunity before your own employees through a full-fledged
Payroll Savings campaign. If you share my conviction, and that of
Jim Roche and the distinguished members of his Committee, I know you
will take this constructive action.

SUGGESTED STATEMENT FROM THE PRESIDENT-ELECT TO BE READ TO MEETING
OF U. S. INDUSTRIAL PAYROLL SAVINGS COMMITTEE, JANUARY 8, 1969
I am delighted to send this greeting to what must surely be one
of the Nation's most productive volunteer groups-the U. S. Industrial
Payroll Savings Committee.
You are patriots who have advanced the cause of Freedom by your
effective leadership of the Payroll Savings Plan. Through your highly
successful annual campaigns you have made a major contribution to the
sound management of the debt. You have rallied employer and employee
throughout the land to give meaningful expression to their faith in
our country and its future.
I congratulate Chairman Bill Gwinn of United Aircraft and every
member of your 1968 Committee on your remarkable accomplishments--the
raising of the sales of Payroll Saver denomination Savings Bonds and
Freedom Shares to a new high of $3,800,000,000 as you enrolled almost
2,400,000 savers during the year. In this connection, may I note, as
an indication of your effectiveness, that a billion dollars more of
these smaller denomination Bonds were sold in 1968 than in 1962,
which was the year before your Committee was formed.
As you review the plans for your 1969 campaign with your new
Chairman, Jim Roche of General Motors, I promise you that Secretary-
designate Kennedy and I will support you all the way. Not only is
there need for even greater achievement by your Committee in 1969,
our enthusiasm for the Bond program is no new thing. Both of us
have long been active workers for Savings. Bonds However, in view of the
economic challenges which face the Nation today, I believe we both
- 2 -
have an increased appreciation of the contribution Savings Bonds
have made and can make towards the preservation of a sound dollar
which is the foundation of our national strength and the basis of our
free enterprise system.
As distinguished business leaders, I am sure that you share my
determination to keep our economy sound and strong, and that this is
your prime motivation for working so unselfishly and devotedly to
promote the Payroll Savings Plan. But I know that you are also
motivated by a concern for the financial well-being of your employees
and of the communities in which they live and work. By promoting more
widespread ownership of Savings Bonds you are contributing to these
objectives in a most significant way.
In giving leadership to the Payroll Savings Plan in your own
companies, your own industries, and your own communities you are
setting a splendid example of business patriotism - an example to
inspire every employer and indeed every citizen. I commend all of
you - old and new members of the Committee, Chairman Gwinn and
Chairman Roche - for your spirit and enthusiasm. I salute you for
what you are doing to add to America's greatness.
