TO:
LARRY HIGBY
FROM: DOUG STEPHENS
The Jet Star can carry 9 passengers (with moderate amount
of luggage).
Passengers in New York will embark and debark at the Marine
Terminal at LaGuardia.
There are no plans for helo service in New York, although
Colonel Murphy in Washington says they will be glad to provide.
Requests for the Star should be placed with Colonel Hughes or,
in his absence, Bill Gully -- both through the W.H. switchboard.

URGENT
January 8, 1969
TO:
GOVERNOR AGNEW
FROM:
BOB HALDEMAN
RN has a specific project that he would like you to take the lead
on and get under way as quickly as possible.
The background is that the Brooklyn Navy Yard has been abandoned
for the past three years and there is considerable pressure to sell
it or grant it to the City of New York to be used for a ghetto
development. The City is apparently willing to invest $75 million
in the project and it would, of course, be very helpful to Mayor
Lindsay and the City of New York. President Johnson has opposed
this for reasons which are not clear. This information comes to
RN from Herb Brownell.
RN suggests that the following steps be taken: First, find out what
New York City's position actually is in this matter. Second, make
a quick check with Javits and Goodell regarding the Senate attitude.
Third, check Mayor Lindsay to determine what he personally wants
done. Fourth, check with either GSA or Defense, depending on
whose hands the Navy Yard is to determine what the possibilities
are.
RN would like you to make these checks and an analysis of the
situation and a recommendation to him as to what ought to be done,
and assuming that a decision is made to go ahead in someway, to
have you implement it and make this sort of a showcase for the
kinds of things we intend to do in federal, state, and city relations.
As a general policy, RN feels that all unused federal installations
that have no potential future use should be granted to the states, or
cities, or universities to be used in some productive way if the
grantee can give adequate evidence of his ability to utilize the
property.
This is basically all the information that I have and I believe all
that RN has on the subject. He is most anxious that it proceed
quickly so that if some action is taken it can be done early.

RN is interested in obtaining the Alvin Barkley desk
for his office in the White House. This desk is pre-
sently located in the Vice President's ceremonial
office at the Capitol. Preliminary efforts through
GBA have indicated that it will be difficult for us to
obtain the desk. Could you follow up by having Senator
Dirksen make a request for the desk? We would be more
than willing to trade on a temporary basis another
presidential desk in the White House so that they won't
be losing a piece of furniture.
The contact for this apparently is the Sergeant of Arms
in the Senate. He was contacted by GSA with no success.

I understand from Doris Kerns who is now working in the White
House, but used to be a White House Fellow in the Labor Department,
that the Labor Department has some excellent youth programs
working with young people in the ghettos.
The most prominent of these, of course, is the Neighborhood Youth
Corps which has been delegated to Laborafrom OEO, but apparently
they have some other pilot programs also.
I think it would be a good idea for you to check out the present
status and effectiveness of these programs to the extent that you
can.

Dear Bill:
Sorry that we scratched your Williamsburg
sojourn, but I am glad that it provided the
occasion for you to write.
I am very much aware of your interest in
working on the Nixon team, and I have taken
the liberty of passing your resume and letter
on to those who are handling the key staffing
functions in the hope that they will have a
thought of a suitable assignment for you.
Hope to see you soon.
Best regards.

Dear Bob:
Happy New Year!
I just returned from advancing Williamburg, Virginia for RN
which was scheduled for January 15 and 16 and received a call
from Whitaker informing me that it has been scrubbed. I was
looking forward to seeing you again down there.
Bob, I would like to reiterate what we discussed a while back
down in Key Biscayne. I would like to say that I would feel
highly honored to be considered for a position on the President's
team. I can think of no greater honor than to continue working
for Richard M. Nixon. I am also anxious to continue my friend-
ship and demonstrate my loyalty, support and devotion for this
man I respect so thoroughly.
As you no doubt know, my relationship with President Nixon began
in 1964. Since that time, I have probably traveled to more cities
than any other advanceman in the organization. It certainly has
been an exciting, rewarding and educational experience.
Over these last years, I've been able to develop some special
skills that I think I can put to further use. I have developed
a "sixth sense" about the President's needs and have been able to
translate that "sense" into practical terms.
An advanceman must be a highly organized individual -- a person
able to handle the myriad of details, small and large. The
responsibilities of diplomacy, transportation, lodging (for press
and private parties), conferences and major functions all fall
into the hands of the advanceman.
In fact, many of those I've worked with in the Republican Party
have said that my experience would make me ideally suited for
the position of Chief of Protocol.
-2-
As for myself, I know I can handle that or any other position
for which I might be considered. I certainly hope my past
accomplishments speak strongly for me and give you confidence
in my executive ability.
Best Bill regards,
William R. Codus

MEMORANDUM
January 6, 1969
TO:
JIM KEOGH
FROM:
BOB HALDEMAN
Re your memorandum of January 3rd concerning assignments for
statements, speeches, and messages, I have directed a memorandum
to Ehrlichman and Chapin requesting that all such assignments be
channeled through you. If you have any other breakdowns in this
process, please be sure and let me know because I agree that we
have got to get it set up right and keep it that way.

TO:
BOB HALDEMAN
FROM:
JIM KEOGH
To maintain some co ordination and order in
what we are doing, I urgently request that all assignments
with regard to RN statements, speeches, messages etc. be
made through me and be delivered by me. When, for example,
John Ehrlichman sends an assignment to Safire and Dwight
Chapin gives one to Buchanan and Price, we have a situation
in which there is no central monitor on what is being done
and real disarray can develop. This caused problems at times
during the campaign, and unless we can now establish a clear
line of communication, I fear that our goal of order and
coordination will be defeated.

MEMORANDUM
January 6, 1969
TO:
JOHN EHRLICHMAN
DWIGHT CHAPIN
FROM:
BOB HALDEMAN
Jim Keogh has expressed some concern that there is not much
hope of his establishing coordination and order in the preparation
of statements, speeches, messages, etc. unless all requests are
made through him and delivered back by him.
Apparently there has been some problem because Ehrlichman has
sent assignments to Safire and Chapin has sent them to Buchanan
and Price, and Keogh is left in the middle not knowing what is
going on. As Jim pointed out, this caused some problems at
times during the campaign and we should not let it get in our way
as we start on the White House venture.
Will you be sure, therefore, to direct all such requests to Jim
Keogh and let him apportion them out to the rest of the crew.
If you have a specific individual to whom the assignment should
be given, you should, of course, indicate this to Keogh, and I am
sure he will accommodate your request whenever possible.
Thanks very much for your help. I agree with Jim that unless
we now establish a clear line of communication, our goal of order
and coordination will be defeated. I am sure none of us wants
this to happen.
