In addition to his other ideas already expressed to you regarding

a firm rule so that the question never arises.

RN is concerned about the problem of the White House barber
and says that Rawley in California is the best and that Tommy
here in New York is adequate but not really very good. Would
you investigate the situation on the White House barber and
figure out a plan so that we can assure proper haircutting for
the President.
I suggested that when we find out who the White House barber
is and can check him out to be sure he is adequate, perhaps
we should then have Rawley talk with him on the phone and
explain how RN's hair is to be cut properly.

The proposal from Harry Treleaven regarding a Communications
Advisory Group does indeed make a lot of sense, but as they wisely
point out in the memo, it should be developed in relation to the
National Committee, and I don't think there is any point in trying
to do this until certain essential changes have been made in that
area. This will take place in the very near future and after it
has I think we should get together with Harry and all concerned
and figure out the ways and means of getting this going.

RE:
Formation of a Communications Advisory Group
As you requested, here is a proposal for the formation
of a permanent Communications Advisory Group, which would
inform and advise the Republican National Committee and
Administration officials in the general area of communica-
tions, public attitudes, and political analysis.
The group would be organized and operated by Allison/
Treleaven, Inc. It would report to, and act on behalf of,
the Republican National Committee. It would work also with
individual members of the Administration and other party
leaders.
Headquarters for the group will be Washington, D.C.
In the beginning the Communications Advisory Group
will consist of one full-time senior political communications
expert; one full-time assistant; one full-time secretary;
one-third of Harry Treleaven's time and one-third of Jim
Allison's time (Jim Allison managed George Bush's campaign
for Congress and Ed Gurney's for the Senate). Also, a
permanent relationship will be established with a TV pro-
ducer-coordinator (Alfred Scott), and a research firm
(probably Cambridge Opinion Studies); these will work with
the group on a free lance per diem basis when needed.
Admittedly this group is somewhat experimental in nature.
Therefore, it is difficult to present a complete list of
specific functions and responsibilities -- which will certain-
1y change and increase as various needs and opportunities
become known. Initially, however, these are seen as being the
primary objectives of the Communications Advisory Group:
- To design and supervise a continuing program of
in-depth research to determine public attitudes
toward the Nixon Administration, its people and
policies; other Republican office-holders; potential
-2-
future opposition candidates; and issues.
- To coordinate this research with other studies
being made by state and local Republican groups
and by independent research firms.
- To maintain a liaison with the various state
Republican organizations and party leaders so
that there is a continuing interchange of
information on Administration activities and
political trends as observed locally.
- To collect and analyze reactions of the media
(newspaper, magazine, broadcast) to the new
Administration and its actions.
- To issue periodic (monthly or bi-monthly) reports
on findings resulting from the above studies --
with special emphasis on how the political situa-
tion is changing and what can be done to influence
public opinion favorably toward Republican candid-
ates in the 1970 and 1972 - including voter attitudes
toward the reelection of Richard Nixon.
- To prepare a detailed evaluation of the 1968
Presidential campaign. This will include a
study of voter reactions to various aspects of
the campaign -- advertising, television appearances,
personal appearances, activities of the surrogate
candidates, press coverage, etc. -- plus a state-
by-state canvass of Nixon campaign chairman to get
their evaluations of the campaign. This report
should include analyses of the national effort,
the Citizens for Nixon program, and the key state
campaigns -- and should conclude with specific
recommendations for changes in the conduct of the
1972 campaign.
- To analyze the most meaningful 1968 Senate and
Congressional races, with particular attention
paid to campaign management, use of television,
and advertising. Purpose of this study would be
to develop guidelines and ideas for future Senate
and Congressional campaigns.
3-
- To establish and maintain a special archive in
which would be kept reference copies of all 1968
Nixon campaign materials, including films, tapes,
recordings, etc. plus new pictures, films, articles,
news reports, etc. as they appear, which might be
used in the 1972 Presidential campaign. A competi-
tive file on possible opposition candidates will be
maintained.
- To be available when needed to work on special
projects, especially in the area of television --
program planning, supervision, network coordination,
etc. - and furnish any necessary extra personnel.
- To establish a working unit which would become the
nucleus for the 1972 campaign communications staff.
The Communications Advisory Group would be a non-profit
operation supported by a monthly fee to cover out-of-pocket
expenses for salaries, rent, office expenses, etc. This fee
would be payable to Allison/Treleaven, Inc. by the Republican
National Committee. The monthly amount for the initial opera-
tion has been tentatively computed as follows:
H. Treleaven - salary plus travel*
$1,400.
J. Allison - Salary plus travel*
1,600.
Full-time office manager
3,000.
Full-time assistant
1,800.
Secretary
600.
Office rent
400.
Office expenses
400.
Living quarters,
J.A. and H.T.
450.
* from home to Washington
$9,650.
The above is an estimate only. All travel and other
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the normal operation
of the group would be billed separately, as would be the per
diem and salary expenses of the TV producer, research consultant,
etc.
Minimum initial contract period: six months.
-4
I would appreciate discussing this with you and whoever
else will be involved with approving the formation of the
Communications Advisory Group. Jim Allison is also available
for any meetings in this connection. Incidentally, anyone
who wants a first-hand report on Allison's qualifications
should contact either Rep. George Bush or Senator-elect Ed
Gurney, or the Florida or Texas Republican State Chairman.

Per our conversation several weeks ago, I am submitting herewith a
list of recommendations for staff bonuses to be paid to certain staff
members who have been on board through the campaign and are going
on with the new Administration to Washington.
As you know, there is a basic reason behind the dollar amounts assigned,
and I have worked the list over carefully and feel these are the proper
allocations.
I hope you will be able to expedite approval and payment of these bonuses
since, as you can well imagine, they are urgently needed.

BOB HALDEMAN
I just noted that in your memorandum of December 17th regarding
composition of staff, you indicate Dan Hofegren's present and recommended
salary level of $29,500.
When we originally talked about salary levels, you indicated that you wanted
Hofegren at an equivalent level to Bill Timmons, Kay Bulow, etc. in Bryce
Harlow's office, and to the other chief staff assistants. I indicated to you
at that time that that salary level was $25,000 and that I felt that is where
Hofegren should be.
That level still applies, and Hofegren would bevvery much out of line at
$29, 500 since we are not putting any back up staff at that level, at least
at the present time, and rationale for putting him that far up does not
seem to me to exist.
I have Hofegren on my records at $25,000 and assume you will adjust yours
likewise.

FROM: Len Garment
December 23, 1968
I am anxious about the "jurisdictional conflict" that seems
to be developing between Arthur Burns and Pat Moynihan.
I have no doubt that Moynihan wants to do an effective job
for the President-Elect. He has made his sincerity and
loyalty convincingly clear to me.
On the other hand, he will not be passive in the face of
jockeying that erodes his ability to act effectively. (Partic-
ularly because he's a Democratic maverick).
Although some who are directly involved in the matter do not
share my concern, I am convinced that nothing could be more
harmful than an explosion on this front.

SUBJECT National Review meeting
the please.
Lg
I attended a meeting under the auspices of the National Review yesterday.
A copy of the agenda (which was not followed) and list of attendees (about
two-thirds of whom attended) is attached.
Much of the meeting consisted of the usual sparring around, but during the
course of the day some valuable suggestions were made. Also, I think we
should try to find some way of involving at least two of the people, Jean
and Edgar Cahn, on a continuing basis. She is a very attractive, informed
and articulate Negro lawyer. He is a quiet, brilliant and equally well-
informed White. They have obviously been active for many years in civil
rights and related activities. They write together a good deal and are
apparently regularly engaged in studies on behalf of the Defense and other
government departments and agencies. They seemed interested that the
Nixon administration cared and would be available for advice and meetings
of substance, I am sure. They are particularly well-informed on legal-
aid questions for the poor, having organized the activity in DC under OEO.
Interesting comments, without any particular organization follow:
1. The Negroes attending seemed fed up with the non-profit agency approach
to solving problems of the poor. They feel that no one involved really
intends for the problems to be solved, just studied, as this keeps them
all in business. Suggestion: more involvement from the private sector,
more use of Negro consultants and consulting groups.
2. Everyone attending seemed fed up with the liberal approach of the
last few decades. They are disenchanted. They seem to be wavering
between sullenness and interest in the possibility of "conservative"
solutions. As usual, it is necessary to weather a good deal of rhetoric
before this comes out.
3. The suspicion of the Nixon administration seems to be for real. A lot
of the talk about emigration, etc., is ridiculous, perhaps, but it is a
sign of the degree of alienation we are facing.
4. There is continuing evidence of a split between moderates and extremists.
In the rhetoric, the views of the extremists are frequently cited. When
the real talk begins, it is evident they are worried by the effects of
the extremists. They are caught in the middle.
5. This may be premature of wishful thinking, but I get the feeling that
Nixon can get a good deal of mileage from relatively modest action. They
do not feel that he promised anything, and there is a certain veiled
admiration for this. Nonetheless, it frightens them. Small signs of
-2-
reassurance will go a long way. I have a feeling that it will not require
massive or extravagant programs to begin building up the confidence that
has been lost.
Some specific suggestions:
1. Do not terminate the legal aid part of OEO. There was general agree-
ment that it is one of the most (if not the most) meaningful part of the
programs to a great many Negroes. Living with the "law" is a daily part
of their existence, and one of the most frustrating aspects of it. The
legal aid program has given some feeling that the law can be used for the
amelioration of injustices. I was convinced. This applies particularly,
of course, to the use of Negro lawyers in the private sector.
2. Everyone seemed to agree that the concept of self-determination is
one for which Negroes are willing to fight to the last ditch. The attitude
toward Bedford-Stuyvesant was interesting. It doesn matter who suffers
or for how long, they said. They are just going to keep at it until they
have effective control of the schools. The feeling seemed to be that this
area, not housing, Black capitalism, jobs or rights was as important. It
points in the direction of programs based on the concept of self-determination.
3. Non-profit housing has an extremely bad name. Why should ministers
run housing programs? Work toward involvement of Negro contractors in
every feasible area (but don't expect at the start that they are capable
of complex jobs). If there is to be a program of rent subsidies, it
should be attached to privately-constructed, privately-run dwelling, or
it should be diverted to ownership.
4. Go to more trouble than previous administrations to dinf out what real
community leaders, and the people, want. Do not fall for solutions proposed
by the "experts" who in many cases have been created by the White media.
5. Use Black technicians wherever possible, articularly in government
contracts and assignments. There is no trouble in finding good technicians.
6. Recognize the reality of hunger and starvation in the South. There was
a feeling that the food stamp program has been manipulated by Southern
politicians to bestow or withhold favors and, further, that there is a
more-or-less deliberate attempt to create such bad conditions that Blacks
will emigrate.
7. Consider the schools as the touchstone for various improvement programs;
i.e., involvement of Negro businessmen in supplying school needs, etc.
8. Favorable attitude toward Model Cities, compensatory education.
9. Returning vets a big issue. Suggestion to issue certificates of same
type attesting to learned skills in service. These should then be honored
for various government jobs (i.e. ambulance drivers, medical techicians)
which are available. Private sector should be encouraged to honor them.
This was probably the easiest suggestion to implement and would have an
excellent reception.

I talked to Governor Scranton this a.m. Subject is Department
of the Interior. The Governor said that the "conservation groups"
are upset concerning Governor Hickel's appointment. They fear
that Hickel will "exploit Alaska. " Governor Scranton said that it
might be a good idea for Governor Hickel to have lunch with
Lawrence Rockefeller (who is, of course, quite interested in this
subject) and get his ideas. Also, the conservation groups have in
mind several people for Assistant Secretary for Fish, Wild Life,
Parks, and Marine Resources. All of the following would be
considered a conservation type fellow:
E. Raymond Hall, Univ. of Kansas.
Justin Leonard, Department of Natural Resources,
University of Michigan (probably the best).

Paul Harley, Governor Reagan's appointment secretary, called
this a.m. They are looking for HRH's resignation as Regent of
the Univ. of California. They indicated that Mr. Finch has
seen the resignation. I told them that I would check and give
them a call. Tele: 916-445-3921.
I talked to Governor Scranton this a.m. Subject is Department
of the Interior. The Governor said that the "conservation groups"
are upset concerning Governor Hickel's appointment. They fear
that Hickel will "exploit Alaska. 11 Governor Scranton said that
it might be a good idea for Governor Hickel to have lunch with
Lawrence Rockefeller (who is, of course, quite interested in
this subject) a nd get his ideas. Also, the conservation groups
have in mind several people for Assistant Secretary for Fish,
Wild Life, Parks, and Marine Resources. All of the following
folm
would be considered a conservation type fellow:
white
E. Raymond Hall, Univ. of Kansas
Justin Leonard, Department of Natural Resources,
Univ. of Michigan (probably the best)
Ralph MacMullan, Director of Department of Natural
Resources at Lansing.
Stanley A. Cain (previously held the job as Assist.
Sec. for Fish, etc.). They think he can be gotten
back. He is now Professor at Univ. of Michigan.
Starker Leopold, Yale School of Forestry.
Emil Haury, Department of Archeology, Univ. of Arizona.
Maurice Goddard, Secretary of Forestry and Water in
Pennsylvania.

DAVID SUSSKIND
December 11, 1968
Mr. Richard M. Nixon
450 Park Avenue
New York, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Nixon:
I want to congratulate you upon your election
victory and to wish you all possible good
luck.
It is never easy to admit being wrong, but I
want to do SO now and perhaps surprise you by
saying that I voted for you on Election Day.
Many factors combined to make this decision -
the revolting spectacle of the Democratic
Convention, the very old-fashioned and creaky
campaign of the Democratic nominee, but fore-
most, your consistent "taking of the high road"
throughout the electioneering ordeal.
A final factor proved decisive for me. It was
an informal television broadcast in which you
reminisced about your parents, your brothers,
your boyhood. It was a new and fascinating
revelation of the forces and environment that
shaped you, and I had the feeling of knowing
you better than I ever had before. Somehow,
that evening, I began to understand a man
named Richard Nixon - and determined to vote
for him.

I have wanted to say all of this to you for
weeks, but it has been a difficult letter to
compose. Again, I wish you good health and
good luck for the incomparable challenge that
lies ahead.
Sincerely,
Raid Swishend
