FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, JULY 2, 1968
NEW YORK -- 51 top American leaders representing a broad national
spectrum of the nation's industrial and financial community announced
today the formation of a committee to serve in an advisory capacity
to Richard Nixon during the Presidential campaign and after.
More than 40 members of this group met with Nixon in a
private meeting at New York's Pierre Hotel this afternoon for dis-
cussion and to develop plans for committee action.
The leaders, who have formed the committee, will consult
with Nixon, offering ideas on the nation's economy from their wide
realm of experience in business and industry.
Barry T. Leithead, Chairman of the board of Cluett,
Peabody & Inc. will serve as Chairman of the committee. Leithead
in the past has been an active supporter of both General Dwight
Eisenhower and Richard Nixon.

The r ecent publication of your Nixon-Humphrey Profile
Report, together with Democratic U. S. Senator Tydings' pre-
publication prediction of the contents of a Harris poll, raises
serious questions of bias, and challenges the credibility of
the Harris political poll reporting.
Senator Tydings was quoted in the Washington Post
of October 24 as predicting that
"
the new Harris poll
will show a dramatic spurt = (for Humphrey). How would
he know in advance what the Harris Poll would show? Is the
Harris Poll employed by him? Is the Harris Poll employed by
several Democratic Senators or state or national Democratic
party organizations? Is Harris political reporting biased
against Nixon?
In the same issue of the Washington Post, the Harris
Report concludes that the image gap between Nixon and Humphrey
is narrowing. The report, however, presentsyonly enough
selected data to prove that conclusion. By using other Harris
data, a case can be made to show that the gap is widening
in favor of Nixon, rather than narrowing -- thus challenging
the credibility of the Harris Report.
- 2 -
For example, according to Harris data, those seeing
Nixon as a strong figure increased from 66 percent in
August to 69 percent in October, while those seeing Humphrey
as a strong figure remained at a low 54 percent from August
to October. Nixon has increased his margin over Humphrey.
Further, those seeing Humphrey as "exciting"
declined from 34 percent in August to 28 percent in
October. No comparable data for Nixon were given.
Thus, on the basis of Senator Tydings' pre-publication
access to Harris data, together with the use of selected
data to support unwarranted conclusions in the Harris
Survey Report itself, it appears there is ample reason to
question the bias and credibility of the Harris political
poll report.

NEWS BUREAU
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW YORK, OCTOBER 27 -- The following is a statement issued
by Mr. John Mitchell, Nixon-Agnew National Campaign Manager, from
the New York headquarters today:
"The Democrats continue to whistle in the wind and, as usual,
it's the Harris Poll that provides the wind.
"Senator Tydings of Maryland told Democrats last week not to
be discouraged by the Gallup Poll showing Nixon's large lead over
Humphrey. He said, 'I feel confident that the new Harris Poll will
show a dramatic spurt, and the election will be too close to call.'
"This is the second time in this election that the Democrats
have referred to the 'next Harris Poll.' Since the next Harris Poll
is not scheduled for publication until later this week, prediction
without some prior knowledge would seem to be a dangerous business.
"Senator Tydings also goes out of his way to discredit the
Gallup Poll, which this week shows Nixon leading Humphrey by 8
points. The Gallup organization is the most respected polling com-
pany in the nation and has an unparalleled reputation for neutrality
and accuracy. Past results in political polling have shown it to
MORE
- 2 -
average only 11/2 percent error. It's polling procedures have been
developed from long experience and the mix of people polled is based
on latest population data.
"The Harris Poll has a record of inaccuracy going back many
years.
"In 1960, Harris predicted a Kennedy win in the state of Ohio.
He lost.
"In 1964, Rockefeller won a stunning primary victory in Oregon.
Harris said he would lose.
"Harris predicted a Rockefeller win in the 1964 California
primary. Goldwater won.
"Shortly before the California primary this year, Harris told
the press that Senator Robert Kennedy was being rejected by the
people as evidenced by a sharp decline in popularity. Kennedy then
proceeded to sweep the California primary with the largest vote ever
given a candidate in a Democratic primary.
"Harris failed miserably in his predictions of the size of
Nixon's primary victories. In this he was consistently at odds with
the more accurate Gallup predictions.
"However, Harris chooses his polling samples, there seems little
doubt that they do not represent the people of the United States.
"The latest Gallup Poll gives Nixon 44 to 36 percent lead over
Hubert Humphrey.
MORE
- 3 -
"Regional and state polls conducted by Gallup and other
neutral pollsters bear out the national Gallup results.
"Richard Nixon will be elected President of the United
States in November, in spite of Harris, with an overwhelming
plurality of the popular vote. And the people of the United
States will show their displeasure with Hubert Humphrey and the
policies of the last four years by giving Mr. Humphrey the smallest
percentage of the popular vote total of any Democrat in history."

RE:
Convention organ
I spoke with Mrs. Gaylord, National Committeewoman from Colorado
about the organ. She said that the Baldwin Organ people in Cincinnati
are going to contact us at our NY headquarters. If they do not do so
within the next week or so, I am to get in touch with Mrs. Gaylord
again.
She also took my name and number in case she hears from them.
Mrs. Gaylord recommends that we make a definite effort to
publicize the disposition of the organ -- whom RN decides to give it
to - since they received very little publicity at the Convention
itself.
Mrs. Gaylord's number is: 303/722-34742

Dear Bob:
The enclosed copy of letter, to Herb Klein will
advise you of our action following your phone call to me of
Saturday. Bob Barry, who has been working over the
Walter Williams list, plans to see Herb this week, or as
soon as Herb can receive him, and will set up some plan for
handling the names still coming in and being checked.
As to ad copy: Walter Williams asked for a brief
written "reason why" statement from those to whom he wrote.
Some, but of course not all, responded. I have gone over
these responses carefully and while, of course, they vary in
detail, the main thrusts are that they favor Nixon because
(1) his experience, and especially his training under
Eisenhower, make him the best qualified, (2) Nixon can do
most to unify and animate the Republican Party, bringing needed
balance and authority to the two-party system, and (3) he pro-
vides the best rallying point for all those disenchanted with the
Democrats, and he can win.
Please let me know if I can be of further service.
Cordially,
Bds/
Robert R. Mullen
Chairman
Public Relations Committee

Mr. Herbert G. Klein
Manager for Communications
Nixon for President Committee
450 Park Avenue
New York, New York 20022
Dear Herb:
Had a call from BBb Haldeman about the list of Eisenhower appointees
who favor Nixon. Bob has in mind running an advertisement in the "New York
Times," "Washington Star," and, hopefully, some-publicity. Asked me to pro-
gram with you.
Background is that Walter Williams wrote all the appointees for whom
he could find addresses.
He turned over to me a folder marked "A" of those who responded with
endorsement and permission to use a quote, and a "B" folder of those who,
for one reason or another, did not wish to publicly surface.
Bob Barry has been working on these to (1) perfect the A list as
to jobs held, etc., and (2) converting as many from B to A as be can. It
has been a ponderous and time-consuming job. He feels that in view of the
Eisenhower endorsement a few more plums will fall. More than 100 names
are now reviewed and cleared for action.
As a general observation, we are pleased with the high percentage
of favorable responses from those contacted, but time has taken its toll,
so we have relatively few former Cabinet officers (only two) and top offi-
cials. The bulk are men who held junior positions, so you may want to
ponder the proper use of the list. Our candid judgement is that it would
not rate much publicity, though some of the names may have a news value
in their local papers. An ad might have a certain effect in demonstrating
the loyalty felt by former associates. Enclosed is a draft of some
suggested ad copy, and the list of those whose names we can now use.
Cordially,
Robert Mullen

page gives the poll with respect to the vote for candidates and
the second and third pages relate to the poll taken with respect
to the various religious groups, grade, high school, college,
union and non-union members and income groups, age groups and
ethnic groups. Perhaps an examination and study of this poll
might indicate some leads.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would photostat
the first page of the poll and at your convenience return the original
sheet to me so that I can then give it back to Dorothy Corey with
the rest of the report.
The reaction to the meetings of last Sunday is
excellent. I am sure we made some hay.

Dear Dr. Pogany:
Richard Nixon has asked me to advise you that he
would be pleased and honored to have you use his
name as honorary chairman of the Hungarian
Freedom Fighters' Federation bi-annual congress
in New York City this year.
As I am sure you will understand, the demands
on Mr. Nixon's time will probably preclude his taking
any personal active part in the congress and if this
is clearly understood by your group, he will be most
happy to have you name him as honomary chairman.
Thank you very much for your support and interest.
Cordially,

Dear Mr. Haldeman:
I was advised by Mr. John C. Whitaker in Washington
D.C. to write to you in this matter.
The Hungarian Freedom Fighters' Federation, U.S.A.,
is going to have its bi-annual congress for re-election
of officers in New York City from August 31st through
September 2nd in the Sheraton Atlantic Hotel. It is
always an important event for the Hungarian-American
community as well as for our delegates coming from all
over the country.
Our Federation had the great honor and pleasure in
1966, when the Tenth Anniversary Celebrations were held
in the United states, to have Mr. Richard M. Nixon through-
out the year as our honorary chairman and also as the
chairman of the American Citizens Committee to Celebrate
the Tenth Anniversary of the Hungarian Revolution.
We would like to have the permission on this occa-
sion to use his name as the honorary chairman of our
bi-annual congress in New York City.
Although the Federation, as a non-profit, educational
and fraternal organization, cannot, by its by-laws sup-
port or oppose any candidate for any office, the entire
board of officers are hard-core Republicans and faithful
supporters of Mr. Nixon. Gov. John D. Lodge, Mr. Thomas
Evans, or Mr. Robert Clark can easily testify to this,
including the activities of my own person. We would be
grateful indeed to have this honor again in 1968.

Dear Bob:
Attached you will find a note from David Mulford,
who is currently president of Associated Students
of Hastings Law College. I had the opportunity
to speak with David at a recent gathering at the
Century-Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles.
He seemed to be the type of individual that we
could use effectively in some way. As you'll
note in his letter, he has volunteered his services.
Perhaps it would be worthwhile for you to take a
moment to contact him if you feel he could be of help
to you in any way.

Dear Mrs. Hamblen:
It was a great pleasure to meet you and Mr. Hamblen
out in Los Angeles, and I especially enjoyed hearing
the tape recording of Mr. Hamblen's song and his
extremely well done statement to counteract the
Wallace effect in the South.
As we discussed out there, there are a couple of
fairly understandable misunderstandings between your
representatives and our representatives which have
resulted in confusion in trying to get an agreement
settled upon. I think we can iron those out fairly
easily, and I will try to do so in this letter.
As a starting point, let's use the license agreement
submitted by you, under cover of your letterof June 29th
to Mr. Felix Kent.
There are only two major areas of concern. The first
of these is the provision that "all expenses and costs
in connection themewith shall be paid by Agency and
Committee." Our representatives are concerned that
there is no specific figure assigned to these expenses
and costs. It was our original understanding with
Mr. Hamblen that our obligation would be to pay $2000
to cover the expenses and costs of producing the mater
recording tapes and background tapes. If this is
correct, that amount would be astisfactory for us but
we would prefer that this be specified, rather than be
left in general terms as it is now.
The second item of concern relates to the question of
royalties for use of the shett music. As I indicated
to you, we don't intend to produce sheet music and are
really interested only in license to use the song,
present recordings, the lyrica, and to develop other
arrangements and uses of the same work. It was our
original understanding that we would pay a $5000 use
fee for this. We can drop the item covered in
Section 5b --- that is, a ten thousand dollar, non-
returnable advance of royalties, based on ten cents
per copy for each copy of sheet music printed, then
there should be no other major problems. As we
disoussed, we would not intend to print sheet music,
therefore are concerned about making a nonreturnable
advance payment on supplties.
royalting
The other possible area of concern is in relation
to the possible area of song rights not exclusive to
us. The only exclusivity extends to "commercial or
political purposes. It is our understanding that
you have granted mechanical rights to someone else,
and that apparently you can also go on selling sheet
music. We would be concerned, of course, about having
the song used during the camapign period for any
purpose other than the campaign
On the purely legal side, I also understand there is
some concern due to the fact that in your proposed
agreement the Agency and the Nixon Committee are jointly
liable, and there is a question of whether the assumption
of suhh a liability by the Agency might not be in
violation of the law.
In any event, if the general principles outlined
herein are satisfactory to you, would you please so
notify Edythe Jacobs and ask her to be in touch with
Felix Kent to get the whole thing worked out, so that
we can proceed with our common goal of
winning the election.
Again, iit was a great pleasure to meet you. I certainly
hope that we can now resolve whatever confusions or problems may
may exist. Thanks very much for your cooperation and
help.
Cordially,
H. R. Haldeman

CONFIDENTIAL
TO: John SHLAES
From: E.D. MAHONEY
Subject: "WHAT CAN I DO FOR MY COUNTRY?" SONG NEGOTIATION
Enclosed you will find copies of the memorandum from our
counsel Felix Kent which I received today. I would like to review the
background briefly for your consideration :
1. As is noted on the sheet music in my poseession, the song
has a copyright dated 1961 by Hamblen Music Co. This is coincidental
with the John F. Kennedy inaugural speech in which President Kennedy
made the statement:
11 Ask not what your country can do for you, but rather what
you can do for your country."
As you will note the first two lines of the sheet music (see
enclosure) are:
" What can I do for my country, for all the things she's done
for me?"
I mentioned this to Mr. Hamblen last week and he admitted
that that was how the song came to be written, mentioned that President
Kennedy had quoted Cicero for these lines. This may well be true, but
in the public mind, the phrase is more likely to be connected with President
Kennedy than with Cicero.
2. Apparently the song was sent to President Kennedy's office
and offered for sale; but, nothing materialized. However, it was published
by Hamblen Music that year and appeared as a Columbia record. When he
was in town last week, Mr. Hamblen did not inform us that song had been
published or that it had ever been recorded, altho specifically asked these
two points by counsel and myself. This has a bearing on the top para on page
two of Mr. Kent's letter.

3. I was informed that early this year an agent for Mr. Hamblen
approached the Robert Kennedy office and Vice President Humphrey's
office; in both cases to sell the song as a political property. Since Mr.
Hamblen has offered this song to numerous other political contenders in the
P ast and the amount of cash his lawyers are asking is considerably higher
than would be the usual charge for campaign songs rights (George Marron
of the Harry Fox Agency quoted an average of $1000 for a political three
months lease for all rights and parody, it would seem wise to review the
intended use of the song in order to get a clear idea of how much money
is to be involved between now and November. Incidentally, Mr. Hamblen
who was in town last week made several statements in front of our lawyers
and personnel that he was not interested in making money out of this song
but rather in having his song help the "cause". Both our attorneys and we
were rather surprised when his wife and Miss Jacobs expressed a very'
different point of view from the agreement he agreed to in New York last
week.
CC. Mr. John Poister.

July 1, 1968
MEMORANDUM TO Mr. Edward H. Mahoney
Fuller & Smith & Ross Inc.
Friday afternoon, I received a call from Mrs. Hamblen
and a Miss Edith Jacobs, the attorney for the Hamblens, to
discuss the proposed contract for the sale of the song.
Miss Jacobs advised me at the outset that she and Mrs.
Hamblen were not satisfied with the terms of the agreement.
She told me very bluntly that there was not enough compensa-
tion for Mr. Hamblen, and that he had been under the impression
that he would receive fantastic royalties from ASCAP resulting
from the use of this song. I pointed out that you and we had
spent several days negotiating this contract with Mr. Hamblen
and that no one from my office nor you could have lead Mr.
Hamblen to believe that he would receive tremendous royalties
from ASCAP from the use of this song over the next three or
four months. She then said that obviously Mr. Hamblen had been
under a misapprehension.
Coming down to brass tacks, Miss Jacobs said that she
wanted to disregard the entire financial structure which you
had worked out with Mr. Hamblen and she wanted an initial
advance of $10,000 against the sale of printed copies of the
song and $5,000 against the use on television.
I inquired why she insisted on such a large advance, and
she told me that she had had prior experience with political
committees and she wanted to make sure that she had the money
in hand in case the Nixon Committee ran out of money.
I told Miss Jacobs that I had no authority to make any
commitment for the NIXON FOR PRESIDENT Committee, and that
all I could do would be to present her proposal to the Committee.
She suggested that she would re-write the contract the way
she would like to see it and send it to me air mail.
LAWLER, STERLING & KENT
2.
She also criticized us for not including a paragraph
relating to the outstanding rights to this song which had
been granted to Columbia Records to which I could only
respond that Mr. Hamblen had not informed us about the
contract with Columbia Records, and, in fact, had told us
that nobody else had any rights in the song.
I asked her whether Mr. Hamblen was present during
this phone conversation which I was carrying on with Miss
Jacobs and Mrs. Hamblen and was told that he very conveniently
was not, and was given the impression that it didn't really
matter what Mr. Hamblen had said as they were the ones who
would make the deal.
I told Miss Jacobs that I was rather amazed that after
spending all this time with Mr. Hamblen that we had to re-
negotiate the deal from scratch and that if this was the
situation it would have been better if she had been in New
York rather than Mr. Hamblen. She agreed completely.
It was left that I would review her draft contract with
you and get in touch with her.

Dear Mr. Kent:
Re: Hamblen Music Co., Inc. License Agreement
Pursuant to our telephone conversation on Friday,
June 28, I prepared a rough draft of a license agree-
ment for your consideration in connection with the use
of the musical composition entitled, "What Can I Do
For My Country? " by Stuart Hamblen in the Nixon For
President Campaign.
I turned the rough draft over to Hamblen Music Co.
Inc. to have typed over the week end, as I had no sec-
retary available, and they were to forward the same to
you by air mail. I trust that by the time you receive
this letter you will have received the same.
Will you please contact me if you have any ques-
tions in regard to the terms of the agreement which was
hurriedly prepared due to the pressure of time.
Very truly yours,

Dear Ed:
I enclose herewith a copy of letter just received from
Mrs. Suzy Hamblen together with two copies of the revised
contract proposed by Mrs. Hamblen which, as she describes in
her accompanying letter, is what they consider a "mutually
fair and worthy contract". The contract bears no resemblance
to what you had worked out with Mr. Hamblen and I would like
to summarize some of the more important provisions:
1. An advance of $15,000 is required, $10,000 of which
constitutes an advance against royalties of 10¢ per copy on
each copy of sheet music printed by you. As we discussed,
10¢ per copy is slightly higher than what top composers of
our generation are getting.
2. The song is not exclusive to your committee. The only
exclusivity extends to "commercial or political purposes".
They have granted mechanical rights to some one else and
apparently they can also go on selling sheet music although
they will make an effort to interrupt the sale of sheet music
during the term of the agreement.
LAWLER, STERLING & KENT
2.
3. You may use the master recording tapes of the
performance and the background tapes submitted by Mr. Hamblen,
provided that you pay all expenses and costs. No amount is
set forth, and, presumably, this could cover the musicians
and everything else.
4. The agency and the Nixon Committee are jointly
liable under this agreement. This raises a question in my
mind whether the assumption of such a liability by Fuller &
Smith & Ross Inc. might not be in violation of the law.

Dear John:
Attached is a copy of our counsel's letter to me and
two copies of the Hamblen contract. As you will note,
it has no resemblance to the agreement Mr. Hamblen was
happy with last week and does not grant exclusivity or
account for the expenses of the background tapes. In
addition, his royalty of 10¢ per copy is 20 higher than
Irving Berlin who is the highest in the country. He
agreed to 50 last week. Also under para 4 in Felix Kent's
letter, there is an important legal point mentioned, which
may make the contract invalid.
When we receive Miss Edythe Jacobs' letter, I will forward
a copy of it to you immediately.
