Friday, March 07, 2008 Page 1 of 1 CAMPAIGN '68 It seems both logical and essential to review the status and forward planning of the '68 Campaign in light of the Kennedy assassination. Is it really essential to the American political process to press on with campaigning as usual -- while pretending to ignore some of the cold realities of the day? There has long been a plaintive cry from many quarters that the ballyhoo and whoopla of an American campaign -- extended over months -- confuses rather than clarifies the choice in the mind of the voter. Thus, even without today's new dangers, a strong argument might be made for a radically revised approach to the process of presenting the case to the people. While the latest assassination does not in any way prove that America is a sick society -- it does re-affirm the fact that passions run high and in some instances restraint and responsibility are lacking. There is a clear and present personal physical danger to any man campaigning for the office of the Presidency whenever he presents himself to an unrestricted large crowd -- at a rally, in a motorcade, moving through public areas on an announced route. This danger will increase as the intensity - 2 - of the campaign increases. There is good basis for the argument that it is irresponsible for the President or the candidates for President to expose themselves in these ways. If this case were presented to the people in proper fashion, it is quite likely they would understand and agree. The people must be deeply concerned by the problem of violence and could be expected to respond with reief and willing acceptance to a plan designed to avoid any further calamities -- or at least, to lessen the risk. The plan would be for the President and/or the Secret Service to request formally that all candidates for Presidential nominations -- and, after the conventions, all candidates for the Presidency -- agree to conform to a number of specific guidelines regarding method of cam- paigning. It would be made clear that no restriction or compromise would be placed on content -- only on form. Candidates would not present themselves to large masses of people in person. They would, instead, utilize the mass communications media to carry their messages to the voters. Many techniques could be used for this -- in- cluding direct speeches, telethons, televised press con- ferences, televised coffee hours with small groups of rep- resentative voters, televised interviews of all kinds, documentary-type presentations, use of third-person advocates, - 3 - and undoubtedly many more approaches which would come to mind. Eliminated would be all rallies, large public functions, press-the-flesh campaign techniques, plung- ing through crowds, whistle-and-prop-stops. This would not eliminate the possibility of assassination or violence -- but it would be greatly reduced because, in effect, the campaign would be con- ducted in individual living rooms instead of at public gatherings. For the candidates, the campaign would become more demanding mentally and much less demanding physically. This should have the effect of raising the quality of the political dialogue. Many potential problems arise, of course. The main one would be the question of allocation or purchase of TV and radio time. Even this could be fairly easily resolved 1f it were not for the Wallace problem. It will be argued that this puts all the emphasis on a candidate's ability to perform on TV -- and elim- inates the opportunity to judge him through personal in- the-flesh exposure. This is not a valid objection because it assumes that the voter now does, in fact, judge the candidate on the basis of personal exposure. Clearly, this is not the case. It is obviously impossible for any - 4 - meaningful proportion of the voters to come into personal contact with a national candidate during the course of a campaign. It's also obvious that a very large majority of those who do have personal exposure -- at rallies, etc. -- are already committed and thus are not judging the candidate. Other than tradition, there is no sound reason for putting a man considered to be of presidential timber through the physical strain and personal danger of the old-time format. It should be recognized that times have changed -- and that the presentation of presidential candidates must change, too. This is the ideal time to make some major changes that are badly needed even without the consideration of danger of violence. The people must be fed up with politics as usual accompanied by terror. They would welcome some leadership in this area -- as well as in all the others that are the issue focal points of this election. H.R. Haldeman June 9, 1968 fulesched.

November 5, 1968 Page Seventeen SUMMARY From Labor Day through November 5th, the Surrogate Candidates have devoted a total of 96 campaigning days in behalf of the Nixon/Agnew ticket, appearing in 31 states and the District of Columbia. Most of the effort, however, has been devot ed to appearances in the 8 battle ground "Big States", and the 6 key "Border States". Fifty-six days, or 60 percent of the time was spent in the former group (California, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas), which have a total of 227 electoral votes. An additional 9 days, or 10 percent of the time was spent in the latter group (Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia). The Surrogates also par- ticipated in a great number of fund-raising affairs and cam- paign rallies around the country. In addition to the activities of the Surrogate Candidate's program, the Surrogates, as individuals, par- ticipated in a great number of activities on behalf of the Nixon/Agnew ticket which do not appear in this memorandum. They include participation in the Truth Squad, the Key Issues Committee, TV advertising appearances with the candidate, and campaigning within their own districts. Q. E. D.

Not\nscanned.\nFriday, March 07, 2008\nPage 1 of 1\nCAMPAIGN '68\nIt seems both logical and essential to review\nthe status and forward planning of the '68 Campaign in\nlight of the Kennedy assassination.\nIs it really essential to the American political\nprocess to press on with campaigning as usual -- while\npretending to ignore some of the cold realities of\nthe day?\nThere has long been a plaintive cry from many\nquarters that the ballyhoo and whoopla of an American\ncampaign -- extended over months -- confuses rather than\nclarifies the choice in the mind of the voter. Thus,\neven without today's new dangers, a strong argument might\nbe made for a radically revised approach to the process\nof presenting the case to the people.\nWhile the latest assassination does not in any way\nprove that America is a sick society -- it does re-affirm\nthe fact that passions run high and in some instances\nrestraint and responsibility are lacking. There is a\nclear and present personal physical danger to any man\ncampaigning for the office of the Presidency whenever he\npresents himself to an unrestricted large crowd -- at a\nrally, in a motorcade, moving through public areas on an\nannounced route. This danger will increase as the intensity\n- 2 -\nof the campaign increases.\nThere is good basis for the argument that it is\nirresponsible for the President or the candidates for\nPresident to expose themselves in these ways. If this\ncase were presented to the people in proper fashion, it\nis quite likely they would understand and agree.\nThe people must be deeply concerned by the problem\nof violence and could be expected to respond with reief\nand willing acceptance to a plan designed to avoid any\nfurther calamities -- or at least, to lessen the risk.\nThe plan would be for the President and/or the\nSecret Service to request formally that all candidates\nfor Presidential nominations -- and, after the conventions,\nall candidates for the Presidency -- agree to conform to\na number of specific guidelines regarding method of cam-\npaigning. It would be made clear that no restriction or\ncompromise would be placed on content -- only on form.\nCandidates would not present themselves to large\nmasses of people in person. They would, instead, utilize\nthe mass communications media to carry their messages to\nthe voters. Many techniques could be used for this -- in-\ncluding direct speeches, telethons, televised press con-\nferences, televised coffee hours with small groups of rep-\nresentative voters, televised interviews of all kinds,\ndocumentary-type presentations, use of third-person advocates,\n- 3 -\nand undoubtedly many more approaches which would come\nto mind.\nEliminated would be all rallies, large public\nfunctions, press-the-flesh campaign techniques, plung-\ning through crowds, whistle-and-prop-stops.\nThis would not eliminate the possibility of\nassassination or violence -- but it would be greatly\nreduced because, in effect, the campaign would be con-\nducted in individual living rooms instead of at public\ngatherings.\nFor the candidates, the campaign would become\nmore demanding mentally and much less demanding physically.\nThis should have the effect of raising the quality of\nthe political dialogue.\nMany potential problems arise, of course. The\nmain one would be the question of allocation or purchase\nof TV and radio time. Even this could be fairly easily\nresolved 1f it were not for the Wallace problem.\nIt will be argued that this puts all the emphasis\non a candidate's ability to perform on TV -- and elim-\ninates the opportunity to judge him through personal in-\nthe-flesh exposure. This is not a valid objection because\nit assumes that the voter now does, in fact, judge the\ncandidate on the basis of personal exposure. Clearly,\nthis is not the case. It is obviously impossible for any\n- 4 -\nmeaningful proportion of the voters to come into personal\ncontact with a national candidate during the course of a\ncampaign. It's also obvious that a very large majority\nof those who do have personal exposure -- at rallies, etc. --\nare already committed and thus are not judging the candidate.\nOther than tradition, there is no sound reason for\nputting a man considered to be of presidential timber\nthrough the physical strain and personal danger of the\nold-time format. It should be recognized that times have\nchanged -- and that the presentation of presidential\ncandidates must change, too.\nThis is the ideal time to make some major changes\nthat are badly needed even without the consideration of\ndanger of violence. The people must be fed up with politics\nas usual accompanied by terror. They would welcome some\nleadership in this area -- as well as in all the others\nthat are the issue focal points of this election.\nH.R.

Most of the effort,\nhowever, has been devot ed to appearances in the 8 battle\nground \"Big States\", and the 6 key \"Border States\". Fifty-six\ndays, or 60 percent of the time was spent in the former group\n(California, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio,\nPennsylvania and Texas), which have a total of 227 electoral\nvotes. An additional 9 days, or 10 percent of the time was\nspent in the latter group (Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, North\nCarolina, Tennessee and Virginia).
