Dear Mr. Whitaker:
Mr. R. L. Steen, our 100th Annual Meeting Chairman, has asked
me to thank you for your prompt reply to his letter of invi-
tation to Mr. Nixon.
We understand Mr. Nixon's feelings in this regard and certainly
appreciate his reluctance to make any commitments after Novem-
ber 5th. Let me simply say that we sincerely hope that Mr.
Nixon will consider this invitation as at least being "in line"
for consideration at the proper time.

Regretfully, Mr. Nixon is unable to make
any commitments beyond November 5 for which I am sure
you will understand.
I know that Mr. Nixon would want me to
include their appreciation for your interest in having
him as well as sending you his best wishes for a

Dear Mr. Nixon:
Congratulations on your selection as the Republican nominee for the
Presidency. I am quite sure that most of the people in the United
States will agree with that choice.
It has been a great many years since a President of the United States
has spoken in Trenton, the capital city of New Jersey. This year, I
believe, we have a suitable vehicle to warrant such an appearance.
This is the 100th year of this chamber's existence. Our 100th Annual
Meeting will be held in January of 1969, climaxing a century of service
to the community. As you can see, our 100th anniversary celebration is
very close to the inauguration date and we must really make plans far in
advance if the President is to speak at our centennial session.
Perhaps I am being presumptuous but I should certainly like to emphasize
the desire of our officers that the President appear at our program and
to request that if you are elected President you will honor us with your
appearance. We can be flexible with our date to the extent that this
dinner can be held anytime between the 15th of January and the 15th of
February.
I realize that this comes at a very busy time for you and I would ap-
preciate your willingness to consider the invitation.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Whitaker:
We are very deeply distressed over the receipt of
the enclosed bill which we thought had long since been paid
by Mr. Miliano.
This is a bill arising from Mr. Miliano's request
for a reception honoring Governor John Volpe of Massachusetts
on the occasion of his visit to northeastern Ohio on Saturday,
September 28, 1968.
In accordance with Mr. Miliano's request, Mr. Sam
Trovato, in whose name the enclosed bill is listed, undertook
the program which was very successful.
We would greatly appreciate your courtesy in arranging
for payment at your earliest convenience.
With our thanks and best wishes,

Dear Mr. Nixon:
I take this opportunity to extend my congratulations, and those of
our City, on your election as President of the United States and wish you
a successful and outstanding term of office.
I should now like to repeat our invitation, originally extended to
you August 30th to address the Joint Luncheon of the delegates to the
National League of Cities' annual Congress of Cities, the XII Inter-
American Municipal Congress and the Special Session of the Hispano-Luso-
American-Philippine Municipal Congress, to be held Monday, December 9,
1968, at 12.30 p.m. in the Rivergate, New Orleans' new convention-exhibition
facility.
We estimate that attendance at this luncheon will be some 4,000 mayors
and municipal authorities from the entire United States, Canada, the rest of
the Western Hemisphere, Spain, Portugal and the Philippines, an audience we
consider a most fitting one to hear the remarks of our President-elect.
It is my earnest hope that you will be in a position to accept this
most cordial invitation and with best wishes for your presidency, I am,
Cordially yours,

Dear Mr. Whitaker:
I refer to correspondence between Mayor Schiro and yourself of August and
September, and your kindness in sending me glossy photographs and background
material on President=elect Nixon, for use in publicity material for our
forthcoming three municipal meetings in New Orleans.
I am taking the liberty of enclosing a copy of Mayor Schiro's latest letter
to Mr. Nixon, confirming the invitation of the mayor and the city for Mr.
Nixon to address these three meetings, an occasion on which we expect some
4,000 people to be present, the majority of them mayors and municipal authorities
from all over the world.
Any cooperation that may be given Mayor Schiro's request to President-elect
Nixon would indeed be appreciated.
Most sincerely,

Dear :
During the demanding transition period between the two
Administrations, I am taking the liberty of answering your kind
invitation to President-elect Nixon to attend (speak to) on (date)
in (place).
I wish I were writing to say that he could accept; however,
because of his heavy duties initiating his Administration, I am sorry
to say he will be unable to accept your kind offer.
I know President-elect Nixon would wa nt me to include
with this letter his appreciation for your interest in having him,
as well as to send you his best wishes.
Sincerely,

As you know, Mr. Nixon had hoped he would
be able to come to
this Spring. However,
due to the fact that in the months preceding the November
elections he had to spend so much time away on political
activities he has found it necessary to devote the next
several months to catching up on the backlog of work in his
office. Under the circumstances, he has found it necessary
to cancel a number of speaking engagements, including two
for Lincoln Day appearances.
I know that he greatly enjoys appearances before
college and university groups and just as soon as his
schedule permits, I know that he will give your invitation
every consideration.
With best wishes,
Sincerely,
Patrick J. Buchanan
Aide to Mr. Nixon

I had hoped that a review of my fall
calendar would permit me to accept your cordial invitation

Unfortunately, however, I had underestimated
the number of commitments which have been carried over into
the fall as a result of my world fact-finding tour last spring and
in working on my plans I have had to conclude that it will not
be possible to take on any additional engagements in the months
ahead (in the coming months).
I regret very much that I will miss the
opportunity to meet with this distinguished audience on
and want to take this opportunity to extend my very best
wishes for what will surely be a most successful and stimulating
gathering.

Dear
:
As I told you when I saw you at Ev Dirksen's
birthday party, I greatly appreciated your invitation to
keynote the Harvard, Illinois, Milk Day celebration on
Saturday, June 4th.
The invitation sounds most interesting and I
wish I could accept it. However, because of the heavy
campaign schedule I am undertaking during September and
October, I have reluctantly found it necessary to limit
the number of appearances I can make during the next several
months. Consequently, I shall be unable to come to Illinois
on June 4.
I regret that this is the case particularly be-
cause of the interest you have expressed in having me, and
I hope I can visit your district at a later date.
With best personal regards,
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Day:
There is no state in the union toward
which I have a warmer feeling than Nebraska, the
No. 1 Nixon state in 1960. Also, I would par-
ticularly welcome the opportunity to appear in
behalf of our mutual friend, Carl Curtis.
At this time, however, I do not see
how I can consider a trip to Nebraska during the
Lincoln Day period. The very heavy schedule I
undertook during the recent campaign occasioned
an absence of five weeks from my office. Con-
sequently, in fairness to my partners, my speaking
schedule for the next few months is going to have
to be a very restricted one.
If you should be planning another meeting
later in the Spring, or possibly even next Fall,
I would be glad to make every effort to come to
Nebraska at that time.
With every good wish,
Sincerely,

You may be sure I would greatly enjoy having
the opportunity to accept this invitation
and hope to be able to do so at a later date. It is impossible
for me to add to my Spring schedule because of the necessity
to try a case before the Supreme Court the latter part of
this month. Because of this case I have had to move all of the
schedx commitments I had made for April into the May and
June period and, consequently, my schedule for the balance of
the Spring term is completely committed.
After the November elections, I would be glad

Dear Governor:
After the Mayors' meeting in New Orleans the other
day, Governor Agnew rode out to the airport with Mayor Bramin
of Seattle. At that time, Mayor Bramin mentioned there were
a number of Mayors who were disturbed that they had not been
consulted by the President Elect concerning who he planned to
appoint to the position of Secretary of Transportation. Ac-
cording to Governor Agnew, Mayor Bramin is a transportation
expert and evidentally felt he should be consulted.
It has been recommended that you give Mayor Bramin
a call and let him know you welcome any views that he may
have regarding the Department of Transportation.
Thank you and, once again, congratulations.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
ALL PRESIDENT-ELECT NIXON'S CABINET OFFICERS
FROM:
JOHN WHITAKER, CABINET SECRETARY
RE:
JANUARY 7 HOUSE BREAKFAST AND SENATE LUNCHEON
At the House breakfast, the format will probably be as follows: The
senior Congressman for each State will introduce the Cabinet Officer
from his State and each Cabinet Officer would probably be asked a
question something like, "What do you believe are the greatest opportunities
and challenges in your area of responsibility?" The response should be
of the order of two to three minutes. After these specifics there
will be questioning by the Members for the remainder of the time.
The tables will probably be arranged for the breakfast so that each
Cabinet Officer is seated with the senior House members directly
concerned with his Congressional position. The meeting should adjourn
by 10:30 A.M.
At the Senate luncheon at 12:30 P.M., because there are only forty-three
Republican Senators, the meeting will most likely be less formal and
I imagine that each Cabinet Officer will be expected to make a few
minutes remarks on his Department.
