MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mr. Franklin B. Lincoln
FROM:
Mr. H. R. Haldeman
SUBJECT:
Secretarial and Clerical Personnel in Staff Offices
in the White House Office.
This is in response to your memorandum of December 10 advis-
ing me of the interests of some of the members of the current
White House staff.
At the present time members of the new White House staff are
in the process of determining their staffing requirements.
Every consideration will be given to retaining those members
of the current White House organization who wish to stay on.
A firm list of personnel selected to remain, however, will
not be available until shortly after the first of the year.
I will advise you of such just as soon as it is known.
Would you please advise Charles Murphy of the above and that
we are in agreement with the following plan for the placement
of those personnel not retained in the White House:
1. Personnel detailed from other agencies will be
returned to those agencies.
2. Personnel assigned to the White House rolls will
be assigned to other agencies with the understand-
ing that this will be confirmed by the new President
after he takes office.
We realize the hardship of those personnel not yet aware of
their post-January 20 position and will advise you of our
determinations just as soon as possible. Ken Cole will be
coordinating this for my office.

stay on.
You will note in the attached memorandum from
Mr. Murphy that in prior transitions some such arrangement
was made. However, the decision is entirely yours but in
order to cooperate with the White House, it would be helpful
if someone on your staff could be put on the problem so as
either to retain or release the personnel who have indicated
a willingness to continue.
After you have had an opportunity to consider this
matter, will you please advise me as to your decision and,
of course, I will be happy to be of any further assistance
that you may require.

RE:
MEMO: ROLE OF THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT
CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Mel:
The attached memo comes from a young man who is in a highly
sensitive post in the Defense Department at the present time.
He has been working with us on the side as an advisor on the
policy and speech content during the campaign.
RN has felt that this fellow has some excellent ideas and insights,
so you might want to give some thought to the ideas expressed in
his memorandum.
You might also want to consider the use of this man as part of your
staff. He will be released from active duty in the near future, and
is anxious to join our team and to stay in Washington. He is very
bright, very energetic and very loyal.
If you want to pursue this further I will be glad to have the man's
name and vital data provided to you.
MEMORANDUM
December 4, 1968
TO:
BRYCE HARLOW
FROM:
BOB HALDEMAN
RE:
TASK FORCE REPORTS
Based on the general discussion at this morning's meeting, I
would strongly suggest that we go ahead with plans for each task
force, or group of task forces, to be prepared to have its progress
report meeting here at the Pierre Hotel. We should start with
the first one as soon as possible after December 10th.
In each individual case I would suggest that the task force submit
its report in writing to your review committee, or to the President,
via your review committee, and that the entire group plan to meet
here at the Pierre approximately four days after the written report
is in hand. The first part of the meeting would be with the full
review committee and concerned cabinet officers as well as concerned
members of Congress. This would be a private, closed meeting, but
the fact that it was being held would be announced. The chairman of
the task force would then come upstairs, meet briefly with the Presi-
dent, and then escort the President down to the group meeting where
he, RN, would have an opportunity briefly to thank the members of
the group for their fine work and possibly to discuss a particular point
or two of the report with them.
The press would be permitted to come in at this time, for pictures only.
Following this session, the chairman of the task force should be made
available to the press to answer questions regarding the general content
of the report.
It would be understood, of course, that the task force continue with its
work, perhaps with some modification of membership, and that it would
be used as Dr. Burns suggested, to review questions as they arise in the
particular field.
Hopefully, these sessions would be scheduled at famirly frequent intervals,
even two or three a day, from December 10th through December 20th.
It would be helpful if as many of the reports as possible would be in
prior to Christmas. With regard to RN's schedule, it should be noted
that from the 21st on, he will be involved in the wedding and Christmas
vacation.
Bryce Harlow
-2-
Then, shortly after the first of the year, the balance of the reports
could be handled in the same fashion. Perhaps around January 10th,
with the hope that all the work would be in by that time, the dinner
for all task forces and the cabinet officers could be held at the Plaza
as was suggested.
It is going to be difficult to get this process in motion and keep it going
unless we get started quickly, and I think that if the plan outlined above
is not one you want to follow, we should get an alternative plan developed
right away, and get something started.

He is a Democrat and a strong threat for the Gubernatorialship
of New Jersey should he remain in the state.

RE:
PERSONNEL HENRY FORD'S SUGGESTIONS
Dan Seymour, President of J. Walter Thompson Company,
had lunch with Henry Ford Monday to discuss a number of
things, among which were Ford's suggestions for good
people in the new administration.
The recommendations Ford had were as follows:
1)
Arthur K. Watson, Vice Chairman of IBM in charge
of their international operations.
2)
Tom Taylor, who was head of International Packers
in Chicago, is a member of the Ford Board
and on the Council for Latin American Affairs.
3)
J. Irwin Miller
4)
Elisha Gray of Whirlpool
5)
Ward Keener, Chairman of the Board of Goodrich,
an economist.
I question whether we have any great interest in any of these,
but felt I should pass them along.
MEMORANDUM
December 2, 1968
TO:
PETER FLANIGAN
FROM:
BOB HALDEMAN
RE:
PERSONNEL: JURICH--WEBSTER--FRIEDHEIM
RN would like you to assure Tony Jurich and Don Webster
that they will definitely be offered suitably important posts
in the Administration, and that the delay fn contacting them
has been, as they will understand, due to the necessity of
making the cabinet decisions first.
Also, Friedheim, who is John Towers AA I guess should
receive similar assurance.
For your background, apparently Tower has indicated some
concern that these people have no feeling that they are under
considerationaand they do want to move into the new adminis-
tration and are qualified for the right kind of posts.
MEMORANDUM

RE:
INAUGURAL PROCESSION: DRIVER FOR GIRLS & DAVID
RN is anxious to have his former driver (from when he was
Vice President) drive the car in which the girls and David
will ride in the Inaugural procession.
He hopes this can be worked out with the secret service
at his request.
The driver's name is JOHN WARDLAW. He is presently
assigned to Senator Carl Hayden.
Wardlaw will, of course, be free from other assignments at
that time, and we are taking steps to see if he can be assigned
to the White House in some sort of usher or doorman role
since he is probably too old to remain a permanent driver.

RE:
ACCESS TO BUDGET BUREAU & DEFENSE DEPARTMENTS
Sorry to have delayed the answer to your memo of November 19th,
but as you can well imagine we are trying to get some of the basic
decisions made before we move into the follow-up work that you
outlined.
It is felt that for the next few days at least it would still not be
wise to establish access for you to the Budget Bureau and Defense
Department until we have set up top level liaison with the depart-
ments. We expect to be doing this in the very near future, and
at that time would certainly want to get you going on a more effec-
tive basis than you have been able to work up to now.
Thanks very much for your suggestions.

RE:
PERSONNEL: SCIENCE
I assume you are following up per RN's request with Straws
and Teller regarding their recommendations for the other
science posts.
You were also going to check with them on whether Ramsey of Harvard
would be suitable, and whether the head of our Task Force would
be a good man.
As I understand it DuBridge will have the post of Science Advisor
to the President, and that that automatically makes him the
Director of the Office of Science and Technology.
The other key posts that were held by Horneck are Chairman
of the President's Science Advisory Committee and Chairman of
the Federal Commission for Science and Technology. I assume
the latter two posts would be the ones filled by other people.

Haldeman\nSUBJECT:\nSecretarial and Clerical Personnel in Staff Offices\nin the White House Office.\nThis is in response to your memorandum of December 10 advis-\ning me of the interests of some of the members of the current\nWhite House staff.\nAt the present time members of the new White House staff are\nin the process of determining their staffing requirements.\nEvery consideration will be given to retaining those members\nof the current White House organization who wish to stay on.\nA firm list of personnel selected to remain, however, will\nnot be available until shortly after the first of the year.\nI will advise you of such just as soon as it is known.\nWould you please advise Charles Murphy of the above and that\nwe are in agreement with the following plan for the placement\nof those personnel not retained in the White House:\n1. Personnel detailed from other agencies will be\nreturned to those agencies.\n2. Personnel assigned to the White House rolls will\nbe assigned to other agencies with the understand-\ning that this will be confirmed by the new President\nafter he takes office.\nWe realize the hardship of those personnel not yet aware of\ntheir post-January 20 position and will advise you of our\ndeterminations just as soon as possible. Ken Cole will be\ncoordinating this for my office.\nBR Haldeman\nAssistant to the President-Elect\ncc: Mr. Kenneth R. Cole, Jr.\nMr. John Whitaker\nTHE\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 10, 1968\nTO:\nMr. H. Robert Haldeman\nFROM:\nFranklin B. Lincoln, Jr.\nWHITE HOUSE SECRETARIAL & CLERICAL PERSONNEL\nCharles Murphy and I have discussed in some detail\nthe secretarial and clerical personnel in the White House.\nA number of these people have indicated a willingness to\nsend to\nFOrs #7\nBull Harner\nstay on.\nYou will note in the attached memorandum from\nMr. Murphy that in prior transitions some such arrangement\nwas made. However, the decision is entirely yours but in\norder to cooperate with the White House, it would be helpful\nif someone on your staff could be put on the problem so as\neither to retain or release the personnel who have indicated\na willingness to continue.\nAfter you have had an opportunity to consider this\nmatter, will you please advise me as to your decision and,\nof course, I will be happy to be of any further assistance\nthat you may require.\nPSW\nFBL, Jr.\nEncl:\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 8, 1968\nTO:\nDR. LEE DuBRIDGE\ncc:\nBRYCE HARLOW\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nRE:\nPERSONNEL: DR. ALVIN WEINBERG\nBryce Harlow, through one of his sources, came up with a strong\nrecommendation that we consider Dr. Alvin Weinberg of Oak Ridge\nfor a key science advisory post.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 8, 1968\nTO:\nPAT BUCHANAN\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nRE:\nCONSERVATIVE NAMES\nThanks for the conservative names; they were 200 proof plus.\nNot very realistic, however, in most cases.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 8, 1968\nTO:\nPAT BUCHANAN\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nRE:\nHOUSTON--DOD\nI have passed Houston's memo on to the DOD talent search people\nper yours and his request.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 8, 1968\nTO:\nMEL LAIRD\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nRE:\nMEMO: ROLE OF THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT\nCONFIDENTIAL\nDear Mel:\nThe attached memo comes from a young man who is in a highly\nsensitive post in the Defense Department at the present time.\nHe has been working with us on the side as an advisor on the\npolicy and speech content during the campaign.\nRN has felt that this fellow has some excellent ideas and insights,\nso you might want to give some thought to the ideas expressed in\nhis memorandum.\nYou might also want to consider the use of this man as part of your\nstaff. He will be released from active duty in the near future, and\nis anxious to join our team and to stay in Washington. He is very\nbright, very energetic and very loyal.\nIf you want to pursue this further I will be glad to have the man's\nname and vital data provided to you.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 4, 1968\nTO:\nBRYCE HARLOW\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nRE:\nTASK FORCE REPORTS\nBased on the general discussion at this morning's meeting, I\nwould strongly suggest that we go ahead with plans for each task\nforce, or group of task forces, to be prepared to have its progress\nreport meeting here at the Pierre Hotel. We should start with\nthe first one as soon as possible after December 10th.\nIn each individual case I would suggest that the task force submit\nits report in writing to your review committee, or to the President,\nvia your review committee, and that the entire group plan to meet\nhere at the Pierre approximately four days after the written report\nis in hand. The first part of the meeting would be with the full\nreview committee and concerned cabinet officers as well as concerned\nmembers of Congress. This would be a private, closed meeting, but\nthe fact that it was being held would be announced. The chairman of\nthe task force would then come upstairs, meet briefly with the Presi-\ndent, and then escort the President down to the group meeting where\nhe, RN, would have an opportunity briefly to thank the members of\nthe group for their fine work and possibly to discuss a particular point\nor two of the report with them.\nThe press would be permitted to come in at this time, for pictures only.\nFollowing this session, the chairman of the task force should be made\navailable to the press to answer questions regarding the general content\nof the report.\nIt would be understood, of course, that the task force continue with its\nwork, perhaps with some modification of membership, and that it would\nbe used as Dr. Burns suggested, to review questions as they arise in the\nparticular field.\nHopefully, these sessions would be scheduled at famirly frequent intervals,\neven two or three a day, from December 10th through December 20th.\nIt would be helpful if as many of the reports as possible would be in\nprior to Christmas. With regard to RN's schedule, it should be noted\nthat from the 21st on, he will be involved in the wedding and Christmas\nvacation.\nBryce Harlow\n-2-\nThen, shortly after the first of the year, the balance of the reports\ncould be handled in the same fashion. Perhaps around January 10th,\nwith the hope that all the work would be in by that time, the dinner\nfor all task forces and the cabinet officers could be held at the Plaza\nas was suggested.\nIt is going to be difficult to get this process in motion and keep it going\nunless we get started quickly, and I think that if the plan outlined above\nis not one you want to follow, we should get an alternative plan developed\nright away, and get something started.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 4, 1968\nTO:\nFRANK LINCOLN\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nThank you very much for sending the galley proofs of the\nBrookings publication, and for sending on the information\nregarding the moving situation for RN.\nCordially,\nHold\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 4, 1968\nTO:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nJOHN WHITAKER via phone to joan\nRE:\nDAY TOUR IN N.Y., May through November 6th\nMAY\n1, 8 - - 12, 18\nJUNE\n5 - - 19 (unless you went to the Bahamas with RN after\nBobby Kennedy's funeral: 8 - 14)\n21, 23 - 25\nJULY\n1, 2, 8, 11, 12, (13 & 14 - Montauk Pt. ), 16 - half day,\n19, 28, 29, 31\nAUGUST\n(1 - 3 Montauk Pt.), 4, 20 - eve.,\n21 - 29: RN at Key Biscayne\n30, 31\nSEPT.\n1 - 3, 9, 10, 19 - eve., 22, 23 - half day\nOCT.\n(5 - Long Island), 6, 16 - eve., 20, 25, 26 - eve., 27\n(28 - half day in Albany; 29 - quarter day in Syracuse)\n30 - eve., 31\nNOV.\n5, 6 - half day.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 3, 1968\nTO:\nMr. P.

Walter Thompson Company,\nhad lunch with Henry Ford Monday to discuss a number of\nthings, among which were Ford's suggestions for good\npeople in the new administration.\nThe recommendations Ford had were as follows:\n1)\nArthur K. Watson, Vice Chairman of IBM in charge\nof their international operations.\n2)\nTom Taylor, who was head of International Packers\nin Chicago, is a member of the Ford Board\nand on the Council for Latin American Affairs.\n3)\nJ. Irwin Miller\n4)\nElisha Gray of Whirlpool\n5)\nWard Keener, Chairman of the Board of Goodrich,\nan economist.\nI question whether we have any great interest in any of these,\nbut felt I should pass them along.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 2, 1968\nTO:\nPETER FLANIGAN\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nRE:\nPERSONNEL: JURICH--WEBSTER--FRIEDHEIM\nRN would like you to assure Tony Jurich and Don Webster\nthat they will definitely be offered suitably important posts\nin the Administration, and that the delay fn contacting them\nhas been, as they will understand, due to the necessity of\nmaking the cabinet decisions first.\nAlso, Friedheim, who is John Towers AA I guess should\nreceive similar assurance.\nFor your background, apparently Tower has indicated some\nconcern that these people have no feeling that they are under\nconsiderationaand they do want to move into the new adminis-\ntration and are qualified for the right kind of posts.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 2, 1968\nTO:\nJOHN EHRLICHMAN\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nRE:\nINAUGURAL PROCESSION: DRIVER FOR GIRLS & DAVID\nRN is anxious to have his former driver (from when he was\nVice President) drive the car in which the girls and David\nwill ride in the Inaugural procession.\nHe hopes this can be worked out with the secret service\nat his request.\nThe driver's name is JOHN WARDLAW. He is presently\nassigned to Senator Carl Hayden.\nWardlaw will, of course, be free from other assignments at\nthat time, and we are taking steps to see if he can be assigned\nto the White House in some sort of usher or doorman role\nsince he is probably too old to remain a permanent driver.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 2, 1968\nTO:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nLARRY HIGBY\nEW:\nHOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS F INAUGURATION:\nRN, FRIENDS AND STAFF\nWith regard to hotel rooms during the inauguration period,\nJohn Ehrlichman has instructed Bob McCune to block 100\nrooms at the Statler Hilton for RN staff and close personal\nfriends, as well as RN himself.\nBob will be happy to reserve for you whatever number of rooms\nyou feel you will need. Please advise.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 2, 1968\nTO:\nTOM WHITEHEAD\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nRE:\nACCESS TO BUDGET BUREAU & DEFENSE DEPARTMENTS\nSorry to have delayed the answer to your memo of November 19th,\nbut as you can well imagine we are trying to get some of the basic\ndecisions made before we move into the follow-up work that you\noutlined.\nIt is felt that for the next few days at least it would still not be\nwise to establish access for you to the Budget Bureau and Defense\nDepartment until we have set up top level liaison with the depart-\nments. We expect to be doing this in the very near future, and\nat that time would certainly want to get you going on a more effec-\ntive basis than you have been able to work up to now.\nThanks very much for your suggestions.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 2, 1968\nTO:\nLEN GARMENT\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nRE:\nPERSONNEL\nIf you have not already, would you please check Bishop\nJackson regarding his recommendations for potential Negro\nstaff members.\nRN wants to be sure that Jackson is consulted at an early\ntime.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 2, 1968\nTO:\nDWIGHT CHAPIN\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nRE:\nRN APPOINTMENTS & CALLS\nRN said that he will see Walter Lippman at an early opportunity.\nHe also says he will call Arthur Krock, Dave Lawrence and\nRaymond Moley.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 2, 1968\nTO:\nPAT BUCHANAN\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nRE:\nPERSONNEL I. Kristol\nYou suggested Irving Kristol as a valuable addition to the White\nHouse staff,\nRN would like you to follow up on him as a possible special\nassistant in the writing area. If you feel Kristol would be\ninterested in this would you please make the preliminary\nsteps.\nMEMORANDUM\nDecember 2, 1968\nTO:\nPETE FLANIGAN\nFROM:\nBOB HALDEMAN\nRE:\nPERSONNEL: SCIENCE\nI assume you are following up per RN's request with Straws\nand Teller regarding their recommendations for the other\nscience posts.\nYou were also going to check with them on whether Ramsey of Harvard\nwould be suitable, and whether the head of our Task Force would\nbe a good man.\nAs I understand it DuBridge will have the post of Science Advisor\nto the President, and that that automatically makes him the\nDirector of the Office of Science and Technology.\nThe other key posts that were held by Horneck are Chairman\nof the President's Science Advisory Committee and Chairman of\nthe Federal Commission for Science and Technology. I assume\nthe latter two posts would be the ones filled by other people."
