My dear Mr. Nixon:
The 75th Annual Conference of the International
Association of Chiefs of Police will be held in October
of this year in Honolulu, Hawaii.
It is my pleasure to extend an invitation to you
to address the delegates and guests. I think that this
would be a most appropriate occasion for you to dis-
cuss your views with reference to crime in the streets.
Our meeting will be held at the Ilikai Hotel, and
we are anticipating an attendance of approximately 2, 000
persons We could schedule your talk on the morning of
Tuesday, October 8, or Wednesday, October 9, at any
time between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

Memo to: Ed Nixon
Re: Attached letter from The American French
Foundation, Inc.
I think we should establish a basic policy that
all requests for RN to serve on honorary committees
or boards of directors, etc., should receive
a
standard turn-down that says that, in view of his
present status as a candidate for the Presidency of
the United States, he has had to take the position
of not accepting such honorary memberships at the
present time. We should, of course, say that he
deeply appreciates the honor they have paid him by
extending the invitation, and he knows that they
are engaged in very worthwhile work and wishes
them the best of success.

Dear Pete:
It was good to hear from you and I am delighted
to know that you're finally escaping from the
Army. I can imagine how happy you and Donna are
that Viet Nam is not going to take a major role
in your life, even though it looked for a while
that it would.
I have written a letter to the Business School
recommending you as a candidate for their graduate
program, and I am pleased that you asked me to do
so.
Hope to see you soon. My best regards,

Gentlemen:
It is a pleasure to recommend Mr. Peter Hall as
a candidate for admission to the Graduate School
of Business Administration at UCLA.
Pete was an outstanding campus leader during his
undergraduate years on the campus, and since his
graduation in 1966 has gained valuable experience
as an officer in the UniteddStates Army.
I have known Pete personally for about five years.
He would be an outstanding addition to the graduate
business program. I hope that you will give his
application favorable consideration.
Sincerely,

Dear Bob,
The time has come when Donna and I can anticipate the completion of my military
obligation. It seems that my work here at the Quartermaster School will keep
me from going to Viet Nam after all. Needless to say, we are pleased with this
bit of good fortune. Donna has been teaching in Head Start this summer and will
continue teaching second grade this Fall. As for myself, I am still working as
a systems analyst/programer for the Office of Data Systems, helping to develop
computer-supported instruction and supply simulations for the school.
Since my graduation in June of 1966, I have desired to go back for a Master's
Degree in business at UCLA. I would greatly appreciate a letter of recommenda-
tion from you for acceptance into their graduate business program. I have enclosed
a brief resume of my activities and work while at UCLA and since graduation. I
hope to be accepted for the summer quarter, 1969.
I realize that your recommendation can be of great assistance and I would greatly
appreciate it. At the same time, I understand that as a Regent of the University,
this request may be a bit awkward for you, in which case, I hope you will let me
know.
If you decide to write this recommendation, it should be sent by the first week
of August to:
Applications Officer
Graduate School of Business Administration
UCLA
Los Angeles, California 90024
I do appreciate your time and consideration, and Donna and I hope that your new
position is as rewarding to you as it will be to the University.
Yours in

Thank you for taking the time to forward the
resume of Mr. Brown. He appears to be a truly out-
standing individual. As of now I have not heard from
him.
This afternoon I will be leaving for the coast
for several days. For this reason I am forwarding his
resume to Mr. John Ehrlichman. John will be the tour
director for the upcoming campaign and should be in
touch with Mr. Brown in the near future.
Again, thank you for your help.

Dear Rose:
As another imposition on your good nature, I would appreciate your
suggesting to the appropriate person that if and when our candidate
announces an advisory group on foreign policy or foreign commercial
policy, I would appreciate his considering including me in such a group.
F rom past experience, I am sure he is aware of my qualifications and
it may be possible to be of some significant assistance.
My very best wishes,

Dear Dick:
The attached letter from Henry Kearns is self-
explanatory, as is RN's note on it.
For your general background information, Kearns
was appointed an undersecreasy or assistant
secretary of commerce for international affairs
in the Eisenhower Administration and does have
considerable overseas commercial experience.
At the present time he is working hard as a fund
raiser for us in California and has been quite
effective.
Will you be sure that he is put on 1t, whatever
foreign commercial policy advisory group or general
foreign policy group we might form.

Memo to: Pat Buchanan
Confirming our conversation in Washington, we can make
arrangements to take the following eight people to the
convention: Greenspan, Allen, Waldron, Bell, Trent,
Mrs. Anderson, Gavin and Humphrey.
In order to accommodate these people, it will be
necessary for them to double up in hotel rooms, and
some or all of them will probably have to be in a
remote hotel rather than the Hilton-Plaza.
It will also be necessary for Martin Anderson and
Tom Houston to take one of these people in with him,
in order to provide sufficient rooms.
It should be clear to these people that we have no
specific convention Jobs nor admission tickets to the
convention hall for them, and that it will be questionable as
to whether they can be accommodated on the charter plane
to Miami.
I'm sorry not to be able to be more accommodating,
but I'm sure you understand the logistical problem
at this late daye.

cussed in our meeting in Washington Thursday. That
is, the brewing effect of Nelson Rockefeller's
publicity activities, polling, and undercover work.
RN is especially anxious to be sure that we are
doing an adequate job of reassuring our people by
dissemination of polls that show-our side on the
delegates.
I know you are doing this, but thought I should
re-emphasize the importance of it.

Dear Bob,

For some time, I have felt a number of points that appear to
me to be important ones in the coming election should be emphasized.
Rather than just make a list, I thought it best to go ahead and
put them all into a "speech" format.
The "speech" comments are for use after the Convention nomination.
I think one of the basic key points that must be established very
hard in the Nixon for President campaign is "what are the points
in brief consise words that Nixon stands for today".
This seems even now, somewhat a fuzzy area. And I think it is
important on a few key issues. For example, in the enclosed "speech"
I inserted the "lower the vote to 18" theme. This one fact could
be the only single thought younger voters may remember during the
entire campaign but it could mean votes.
It is that type of single-action statements that people can remember
at voting time that are important.
I trust you are holding out in what I imagine, is a hectic pre-convention
travel schedule.

Memo to: Len Garment
As I mentioned to you on the phone, James Betts in
Cleveland, Ohio talked with me while we were out there
about the need for some Nixon Negro visibility in the
Cleveland area, and strongly urged that we try to get
Wilt Chamberlain to see if he could recruit one of the
Negro members of the Cleveland Browns--to sign him
up as a Nixon man in that area.
He also suggested that we might move work through
Vern Stouffer to see if we could get a Negro member
of the Indians, Stouffer being President of the Indians.
I hope you'll follow up on this because we need to
capitalize on the visibility and steam that RN built up
in Ohio during the visit last week.

being done in Cleveland, that is was a weak area for us

Dear Mr. Haldeman:
Yesterday I spoke to Mr. Higby concerning a Department of State
international visitor, Mr. Afie Eliav. Mr. Eliav is a member of the
Israeli Parliament.
Our Embassy in Tel Aviv has requested in his behalf the opportunity
for him to accompany Mr. Richard Nixon on one day of campaigning. In
order to facilitate matters, I am taking the liberty of sending you a
copy of the material I have received on Mr. Eliav. I thought that after
you have a chance to look over this material, we could discuss the
feasibility of his request with greater ease.
Mr. Eliav will not arrive in the United States until Sunday, July 7.
I will see him the next day andafter we have discussed the matter further,
I
will call you to see what can be done for him.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Sincerely,

The Embassy is aware of the problems posed in arranging
during the election campaign all of the high-level interviews
and programs requested by Mr. Arie ELIAV during the course
of his forthcoming grant visit to the United States. At the same
time, it requests the Department to make fully clear to the
GAI program agency that the Embassy attaches great importance
to the successful implementation of this grant. As was indicated
in our A-S48 Mr. Eliav is one of the most outstanding -- and
promising -- of the handful of young Israeli politicians. Already
a prominent member of the top political bodies of the governing
Israel Labor Party, a Knesset Member and a former Deputy
Minister, he may be reasonably expected to advance even further
in the political arena. Because of this unusual combination of
achievement and potential the Embassy considered Mr. Eliav
a unique grant candidate and has urged him to take one month
leave from his own pressing political preoccupations for a close
study of the American political scenc. For. a political figure
like Mr. Eliav this means personal contact with his peers.
The Embassy is convinced that the effort expended to meet
his high requirements will be well worthwhile.
Precise travel data will be furnished the Department in the
very near future.

Arie Eliav is one of the most prominent and promising - of the
relatively few young Israeli politicians. At age 46 he is a Member of
the Knesset, a former Deputy Minister and a member of the top leadership
bedies of the governing Israel Labor Party. In his capacity as Head of
the Organization Department of the then-Mapai he directed that Party's
successful campaign in the 1965 general elections. In addition to his
vast political experience, he has long been deeply involved in the
NEA
problems of immigration absorption and agricultural development. He was
the initiator of the successful Lachish and Arad Development programs,
as well as a large-scale Isracli aid project in Iran. By virtue of his
Russian origin and his diplomatic service in Moscow he is considered
amongst the Isracli experts on the USSR.
Mr. Eliav was born in Noscow in 1921 but emigrated from the Soviet Union
to Israel with his parents in 192 4. After attending elementary and
COPYFLO-PBR
secondary schools in Tel Aviv, he served as a Company Commander in the
Haganah in 1938 and 1939. From 1940-45, he served in the Middle East
and Italy as a Non-Commissioned Officer in the British Army. After the
Second World War, be helped organize "illegal immigration" to Palestine
and served as a boat commander of an illegal immigrant ship. Following
independence, he served for a brief time as a Lt. Commander in the Israel
Navy and in 1949 became an Assistant to Mr. Levi Eshkol when the latter
was Head of the Settlement Department of the Jewish Agency and subsequently,
Finance Minister. From 1954 to 1956, he headed the Lacish Development

Among newspaper and TV political commentators whom Mr. Eliav would like
to meet are Tom Vicker, James Reston, Arthur Sulzberger, Joseph Alsop,
Harrison Salisbury, Chet Huntley, David Brinkley and Charles Collingwood.
Mr. Eliav is also anxious to talk with university people who are, or were,
advisers to political leaders, such as Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., J.K. Galbraith,
McGeorge Bundy and Henry Kissinger.
During his travels about the United States, Mr. Eliav hopes to have opportunities
to meet with officials of some of our major cities such as Mayor Lindsay of
New York and the Negro Mayors of either Cleveland, Ohio, or Gary, Indiana, to
discuss urban ghetto problems. He also hopes to have an opportunity to visit
the Rand Corporation to discuss Middle Eastern and Soviet problems. Finally,
he would like to see Cape Kennedy.

Following the 1956 hostilities, he spent two years at the Hebrew University
where he received his B.A. degree in Sociology and History. For the next two
years he served in his country's Foreign Service as First Secretary of the
Israel Embassy in Moscow. For the next four years he returned to the field
of development, serving first as Head of the Arad Development Project and then
as Head of the Ghazvin Development Project, an Israeli agricultural development
program in Iran. In 1964, he became Head of the Organization Department of the
Mapai Party and was in charge of the Mapai election campaign in 1965 general
elections in which he himself was elected to the Knesset. In 1966 he became
member of the Leadership Bureau and Secretariat of the Israel Labor Party.
He also served as Deputy Minister of Commerce and Industry in 1967.
Mr. Eliav speaks Hebrew, English and Russian and is the author of two "best
sellers":
Between Hanmer and Sickle' which he wrote under the pseudonym Ben-Ami,
and which was published in English in 1967 by the Jewish Publication
Society of America; and SS ULUA, which was published in Hebrew in
1968.
Insofar as program interests are concerned, Mr. Eliav's main purpose in visiting
the United States at this time is to sec people who are deeply involved in
politics in both the Democratic and Republican Parties. He would like to see
the principal presidential candidates (Humphrcy, Kennedy, McCarthy, Nixon
and Rockefeller) if possible, and would like to learn on a practical level
how their offices and campaigns are organized. For this purpose, he has
suggested that he might be attached to a campaign manager for one of the
candidates for a day.
Mr. Eliav wishes also to visit the Department of State to confer with political
and AID officials who are concerned with both Middle Eastern and Soviet Affairs.
Specifically, he wishes to see the following if possible: Assistant Secretary
Battle, Mr. Eugene Rostow, Ambassador Bohlen (whom he knew in Moscow). He
would also like to talk with Mr. Walt Rostow and whoever is presently serving
as Adviser to the President on Soviet Affairs. While in Washington, he would
also like to see legislators concerned with foreign affairs, particularly
Senators Fulbright, Javits, Brooke and Ribicoff. He would also be interested
in meeting with the Secretaries of Agriculture and Health, Education and
Welfare to discuss the Anti-Poverty Campaign particularly in rural areas.

Dear Mr. Haldeman:
We, as members of the Sunnyvale Republican Women's Club,
Federated, are concerned about the multiple problems in
our State colleges and universities.
We deplore the rioting, disorders, vandalism and destruction
of property on the campuses; also the irresponsible permissive
attitudes of some of our trustees and administrators in
allowing such criminal activities.
We disapprove of pornography in any form - in publications,
on the stage, in "art" exhibits, or in the usage of foul
language.
We are disgusted with the "literature" permitted and/ or
published on campus, including official and unofficial
publications.
We dislike the prevalence of professorswho promote their own
far-out ideas in lass, rather than teaching subject matter.
We commend the efforts you are presently making to return
sanity to our campuses, and we urge you to continue to take
firm, positive steps to reverse the downward trend in our
institutions of higher learning.
We feel this orisis is se severe that immediate action,
including a full scale investigation, is necessary.

NIXON RUNAWAY AND KENNEDY VICTORY IN GIANT SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA TV POLL
Former Vice President Richard Nixon and Senator Robert
Kennedy won clearcut victories in a random poll of
Southern California television viewers Saturday night.
(June 1, 1968)
The poll was taken on a live, color television Special
called "HOW DO YOU VOTE?" on KTLA, Channel 5, from
9:30 to 11:30 PM.
The Special was MC'd and produced by Jack Rourke, the
creator and producer of the "Sam Yorty Show" and many
other unusual TV features.
During the program, banks of telephones lined the stage.
40 Volunteer operators, a democrat and a republican operator
together on each phone, tallied the votes at a frantic pace.
Exactly 6242 votes, one vote per phone call, were received
from viewers from all over Southern California.
The Pacific Telephone Company estimates that another 100,000
callers couldn't break through the "busy" signals.
The Poll was described as a non-scientific public opinion
contest among the three leading contenders for the
presidential nomination in the Republican and Democratic
Parties.
Final results at the end of the two hour "Vote-A-Thon"
were as follows:
REPUBLICANS
DEMOCRATS
Nixon
1,833
Kennedy
2,196
Reagan
306
McCarthy
1,381
Rockefeller
156
Humphrey
370
Interesting facts about the "HOW DO YOU VOTE?" Poll:
Richard Nixon received 79.8 % of the republican vote,
several percentage points larger than his very strong
win in Oregon.
The total vote cast, 3,947 for Democratic Candidates, and
2,295, for Republican Candidates is in approximately the
same proportion as the number of registered democrats
compared to the number of registered republicans, allowing
additionally for the heightened interest on the part of the
democrats in the "HOT" race between Senators Kennedy and
McCarthy.
Governor Reagan of California defeated Governor
Rockefeller of New York by a two to one margin while
both were soundly trounced by Richard Nixon. The
only Republican on the ballot in the June 4th California
Primary, 18 Governor Reagan a Favorite Son.
The "HOW DO YOU VOTE?" TV Poll Special may have in-
dicated the way things will go in the Kennedy-McCarthy
race in the California Primary June 4th.
Commentator-Analists on the program were former United
States Chief of Protocol (under President Johnson) -
Lloyd Hand, representing the democratic point of view
and TV and radio commentator Tom Duggan representing the
republican point of view.
Guest Celebrities spoke in behalf of their favorite
candidates as follows:
Former Governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown for Vice president
Humphrey.
Rudy Vallee for Richard Nixon.
Tom Braden, former President of the California State Board
of Education for Robert Kennedy.
- 3 -
Don DeFore for Governor Ronald Reagan.
Jill St John for Senator McCarthy.
Actor Terry O'Sullivan for Governor Nelson Rockefeller.
Jack Rourke Productions has signed with KTLA to produce
3 more "HOW DO YOU VOTE?" Specials, one each before the
Republican and Democratic Conventions and one before the
election in November.
