NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION MEMORANDUM January 10, 1969 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. DS ken C has. Tic)clen MEMORANDUM fon JAN 16 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. H. R. Haldeman Haldeman cc: Bryce Harlow (for info) 2 MEMORANDUM January 10, 1969 TO: NOBLE MELENCAMP FROM: BOB HALDEMAN Congratulations. RN approved all of the first batch of letters which are returned herewith signed and also concurred in your recommendations regarding referals so we are off to a good start. Would you please prepare two notes of condolence to the children of Jack and Helen Garland whose mother passed away December 27th. Please call Rose Woods to get personal background. HRH MEMORANDUM TO: Bryce Harlow FROM: H. R. Haldeman January 10, 1969 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.

New York, N.Y. 10022 MUrray Hill 8-8383 January 7, 1969. Mr. H. R. Haldeman Office of the President-elect Hotel Pierre Fifth Avenue at 61st Street New York, New York Dear Bob: My bridges have all been successfully burned, and my company sold. Could you arrange to place me on the Federal payroll beginning January 20 (This is discussed in my book under the heading, "public trough, feeding at the".). Also, my secretary, whose name is Sally Cutting, will report for duty at the same time. You will recall a letter I wrote you about her a month ago which you okay'd (salary approximately $10, 000 a year). Mny thanks, Sincerely, Inn William Safire 11:25 January 8, 1969 MEMORANDUM Phoned to Jim "likeogh TO: LARRY HIGBY FROM: DOUG STEPHENS Ellsworth's office called to relay the following proposed telegram.

He is also asking Ehrlichman, Scott, etc. Idont treed in to be this Called Taled C 118 his secretary MEMORANDUM January 3, 1968 TO: BOB BROWN FROM: BOB HALDEMAN 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. MEMORANDUM January 6, 1969 TO: PETE FLANIGAN FROM: BOB HALDEMAN RE: Attached letter from William R. Codus and reply thereto If there is a suitable spot, we really should try to do something for Codus but only if he fits. HRH January 6, 1969 Mr. William R. Codus CBS/FM National Sales 51 West 52 Street New York, New York 10019 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. Cordially, H. R. Haldeman HRH:ds bcc: Pete Flanigan (w/basic ltr) CBS/FM NATIONAL SALES 51 West 52 Street New York, N.Y. 10019 (212) 765-4321 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 Mr. Robert Haldeman Special Assistant to the President Office of the President Elect Pierre Hotel 61 Street and Fifth Avenue New York, New York January 2, 1969 attachment 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. HRH diet January 3, 1969 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 MITCHELL FROM: BOB HALDEMAN John, is there any hope for Caulfield as U.S. Marshal in New York? If not, we should probably send the file on him over to Bill Rogers for consideration on the AID security post. HRH encl: Caulfields letter of Jan. 3, 1969 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. HRH

Haldeman\nJanuary 10, 1969\nRN is interested in obtaining the Alvin Barkley desk\nfor his office in the White House. This desk is pre-\nsently located in the Vice President's ceremonial\noffice at the Capitol. Preliminary efforts through\nGBA have indicated that it will be difficult for us to\nobtain the desk. Could you follow up by having Senator\nDirksen make a request for the desk? We would be more\nthan willing to trade on a temporary basis another\npresidential desk in the White House so that they won't\nbe losing a piece of furniture.\nThe contact for this apparently is the Sergeant of Arms\nin the Senate.

R. Haldeman\nHRH:ds\nbcc: Pete Flanigan (w/basic ltr)\nCBS/FM\nNATIONAL SALES\n51 West 52 Street\nNew York, N.Y. 10019\n(212) 765-4321\nDear Bob:\nHappy New Year!\nI just returned from advancing Williamburg, Virginia for RN\nwhich was scheduled for January 15 and 16 and received a call\nfrom Whitaker informing me that it has been scrubbed. I was\nlooking forward to seeing you again down there.\nBob, I would like to reiterate what we discussed a while back\ndown in Key Biscayne. I would like to say that I would feel\nhighly honored to be considered for a position on the President's\nteam. I can think of no greater honor than to continue working\nfor Richard M. Nixon. I am also anxious to continue my friend-\nship and demonstrate my loyalty, support and devotion for this\nman I respect so thoroughly.\nAs you no doubt know, my relationship with President Nixon began\nin 1964. Since that time, I have probably traveled to more cities\nthan any other advanceman in the organization. It certainly has\nbeen an exciting, rewarding and educational experience.\nOver these last years, I've been able to develop some special\nskills that I think I can put to further use. I have developed\na \"sixth sense\" about the President's needs and have been able to\ntranslate that \"sense\" into practical terms.\nAn advanceman must be a highly organized individual -- a person\nable to handle the myriad of details, small and large. The\nresponsibilities of diplomacy, transportation, lodging (for press\nand private parties), conferences and major functions all fall\ninto the hands of the advanceman.\nIn fact, many of those I've worked with in the Republican Party\nhave said that my experience would make me ideally suited for\nthe position of Chief of Protocol.\n-2-\nAs for myself, I know I can handle that or any other position\nfor which I might be considered. I certainly hope my past\naccomplishments speak strongly for me and give you confidence\nin my executive ability.\nBest Bill regards,\nWilliam R. Codus\nMr. Robert Haldeman\nSpecial Assistant to the President\nOffice of the President Elect\nPierre Hotel\n61 Street and Fifth Avenue\nNew York, New York\nJanuary 2, 1969\nattachment\nMEMORANDUM\nJanuary 6, 1969\nTO:\nJIM KEOGH\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nRe your memorandum of January 3rd concerning assignments for\nstatements, speeches, and messages, I have directed a memorandum\nto Ehrlichman and Chapin requesting that all such assignments be\nchanneled through you. If you have any other breakdowns in this\nprocess, please be sure and let me know because I agree that we\nhave got to get it set up right and keep it that way.\nHRH\ndiet\nJanuary 3, 1969\nTO:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nJIM KEOGH\nTo maintain some co ordination and order in\nwhat we are doing, I urgently request that all assignments\nwith regard to RN statements, speeches, messages etc. be\nmade through me and be delivered by me. When, for example,\nJohn Ehrlichman sends an assignment to Safire and Dwight\nChapin gives one to Buchanan and Price, we have a situation\nin which there is no central monitor on what is being done\nand real disarray can develop. This caused problems at times\nduring the campaign, and unless we can now establish a clear\nline of communication, I fear that our goal of order and\ncoordination will be defeated.\nMEMORANDUM\nJanuary 6, 1969\nTO:\nJOHN MITCHELL\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nJohn, is there any hope for Caulfield as U.S. Marshal in\nNew York? If not, we should probably send the file on him\nover to Bill Rogers for consideration on the AID security\npost.\nHRH\nencl:\nCaulfields letter of Jan. 3, 1969\nMEMORANDUM\nJanuary 6, 1969\nTO:\nJOHN EHRLICHMAN\nDWIGHT CHAPIN\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nJim Keogh has expressed some concern that there is not much\nhope of his establishing coordination and order in the preparation\nof statements, speeches, messages, etc. unless all requests are\nmade through him and delivered back by him.\nApparently there has been some problem because Ehrlichman has\nsent assignments to Safire and Chapin has sent them to Buchanan\nand Price, and Keogh is left in the middle not knowing what is\ngoing on. As Jim pointed out, this caused some problems at\ntimes during the campaign and we should not let it get in our way\nas we start on the White House venture.\nWill you be sure, therefore, to direct all such requests to Jim\nKeogh and let him apportion them out to the rest of the crew.\nIf you have a specific individual to whom the assignment should\nbe given, you should, of course, indicate this to Keogh, and I am\nsure he will accommodate your request whenever possible.\nThanks very much for your help. I agree with Jim that unless\nwe now establish a clear line of communication, our goal of order\nand coordination will be defeated. I am sure none of us wants\nthis to happen.\nHRH"
