Dear Bob:
democrate alle.
First of all, congratulations on the convention success. I thought
the entire matter, including the Vice Presidential nomination, was masterfully
handled.
I would like to propose a project which I feel could be very important
to the campaign. I suggested a similar approach in 1964 and, although everyone
agreed it should be done, nothing was done due to the lack of organization.
My proposal is designed to overcome the only hurdle which is so far
uncontrollable, namely, the "handling" of the campaign by the news media.
I am sure you are all familiar with the many slanted statements and mis-
representations already revealing themselves, i.e., NBC's coverage and
commentary concerning Mr. Nixon's acceptance speech.
Consider for a moment this scenario. It is two weeks before
election. The polls indicate a very close race or that Nixon is behind.
Huntley, Cronkite, Smith, etc., have given Nixon and the Republicans the
same treatment afforded Goldwater in 1964. Let us assume for a moment
that at this crucial point in the campaign, the Republican National Committee
announces that it would like to demonstrate to the American people that they
have been completely misled by the media. On all major television stations
a program is presented consisting of film clips of television news broadcasts,
with appropriate commentary. This program clearly demonstrates the
following:
1. Whenever the Republican candidates are mentioned, the
commentator not only uses a grim tone of voice but he actually
scowls. Whenever the Democratic candidates are mentioned, the
commentator uses an approving tone of voice and his facial expression
is pleasant in all respects.
2. Most times that Nixon's campaign is reported, it is by way
of commentary. Most times when Humphrey's campaign is reported,
a film clip of the speech is shown with cheering crowds. In addition,
most of these clips consist of Humphrey attacking Nixon rather than
addressing himself to any campaign issue.
Mr. Robert Haldeman
August 14, 1968
Page 2
3. In most instances that Richard Nixon is mentioned, the
commentator just uses the name Nixon, not Richard Nixon or
former Vice President Nixon. On the other hand, whenever Hubert
Humphrey is mentioned, it is almost always Vice President Humphrey,
never just Humphrey.
4. The time devoted to Nixon and the Republican campaign
is substantially less than the time devoted to Humphrey and the
Democratic campaign.
5. On many important issues, the Republican candidates are
misquoted, quoted out of context or editorialized. This is proved by
presenting film clips of exact speechesand contrasting these film clips
to the reporter's comment thereon.
6. The adjectives used in describing the Republican candidates
are "weak", "stern", "grim", "ineffectual", "boring", "tired", etc.
The adjectives used in describing the Democratic candidates are
"serene", "sincere", "forceful", "confident", "crisp", etc.
I have described above a not too exaggerated replica of what actually
happened in 1964. There is no doubt that these tricks clearly influenced the
voters' image of the candidates and the campaign issues.
It is my notion that it is imperative to tape all of the major news
broadcasts and monitor them for content. It is also imperative to be in a
position to replay by way of tape recording any and all of our candidates'
remarks.
There is no doubt in my mind that if these practices are repeated
not only can an effective case be made to the American people that they have
been "taken", but a lawsuit can be filed for "equal time" to prove it. Equal
time does not mean commenting adversely on one candidate as against airing
a speech of the other.
I repeat that this monitoring can be done by volunteer help. I also
repeat that if we do get fair treatment or if we seem to be assured of victory,
the project can be scrapped. But in any case we should be prepared.
One more thought. Undoubtedly this idea, if carried out, will get
back to the media. The least I can see happening is that as a result we will
get a better shake.
Mr. Robert Haldeman
August 14, 1968

I have a great many more detailed ideas on this subject which I
would like to relate to the proper people. I have discussed my thoughts
with several very knowledgeable individuals and they all seem to whole-
heartedly agree.
Please let me hear from someone.
By the way, I would like to volunteer my services in any aspect
of the campaign in which I might be useful.
Sincerely,
Bill Bartman

Dear Bill:
Your suggestion is a good one. Thank you for taking
the time to forward it.
We are presently working on a system of monitoring
television and newspaper coverage should it become neces-
sary for us to act as the campaign progresses. We hope
that in this campaign we will receive the type of fair
coverage you mention. However, should it be otherwise, we
will be prepared.
Your letter also expressed your interest in working
during the campaign. With this in mind I have forwarded
your name to Mr. Al Hartunian, who will be coordinating
our Citizens effort in California. He should be in con-
taot with you soon.

of this year, to renew acquaintances at Republican Headquarters
there, also to talk with people from all over the United States.
It is my opinion that we can carry Hawaii - with organiza-

by proposing a "Tourist Tax" that would be a "Kiss of Death" to
the economy of the Islands.
There was a majority opinion of those tourists who talked
with me that Nixon was the best qualified for President among
candidates of both parties.

Dear Mr. Bell:
The "American Tourists" who flock from all parts of
our country to National Parks in the West, and those excellent
college youth who work there, need a champion.
Our party of four just finished a trip that included
Jackson Lodge and the Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier Park, etc.,
and were shocked at our findings. I think that the BEST is
none too good for our own people, as well as the employees, at
these places.
The college youths, as employees, are paid under the
minimum wage, over-worked, and poorly fed, and some laid off,
even though there has been an 11 percent increase in tourists
this year.
The high cost of the accomodations and poor food, es-
pecially in the "Old Faithful" area, is beyond comprehension!
"Canyon Village" district seemed a lot better.
I think that NOW is the time to make a complete study of
this situation and remedy it.

Dear Mr. Pollner:
The national office of the United States Treasury Agents Association
wishes to invite Mr. Nixon to be the guest speaker at our semi-annual
dinner, hosted by our New York Chapter in their city. This semi-formal
affair is scheduled within the last three weeks of October, 1968.
Since we will have over 1500 persons in attendance, we are endeavoring
to have all of the arrangements made by September 6, 1968. Among those
present will be Federal department heads, bureau heads of Federal law
enforcement agencies, heads of state law enforcement agencies, as well
as local law enforcement officials.
We, as federal law enforcement officers, and as private citizens of
this great nation, individually and collectively, are very interested
in the position Mr. Nixon takes on crime, law and order, and law
enforcement problems. These issues are our issues also. We are eagerly
looking forward to Mr. Nixon's guidance on these matters, as well as
rendering any assistance necessary to promote our common goals.
The United States Treasury Agents Association was begun about 10 years
ago in Chicago by a group of Treasury Enforcement personnel who saw the
advantages of such an association for men engaged in enforcement activities.
Today, we have 26 chapters throughout the United States, united to promote
professionalization through education; consistent maintenance of the
highest standards so deserving of our office, and to further the preserva-
tion of, and adherence to, the Constitution of the United States.
The success of our association recently required amendments to our
constitution, whereby our membership has now been expanded to include
all law enforcement officers in the federal service. This expansion
now gives us a potential membership of over 30,000 Federal Criminal
Investigators.
2
Our legislative programs, among other matters, include better recogni-
tion of law enforcement problems; retirement benefits comparable to
state and municipal standards. We are most interested in HR - 17682,
which gives some improvement to general federal retirement plan, and
increasing the law enfocement personnel retirement computation factor
from 2 percent to 2½ percent, after 20 years of service. Unfortunately,
Congress recessed before any action was taken on this bill.
We sincerely hope that Mr. Nixon's schedule is such that he will be
able to afford us the honor of accepting our invitation to speak on
our mutual issues, which are so critical to our country today.
Sincerely yours,
meder

Memo to:
John Erlichmann
From:
Bob Haldeman
Re:
Tour operations September 11-21
I think we've covered most of the specifics as we have gone along on
the tour, but I find in reviewing my notes that there are a couple
of things that might be worth repeating in writing.
I've noticed that, in a number of our local stops, the advance
man or someone has prepared a schedule and left it in the staff
rooms that in many cases varies, either in minor forms or from
time to time, on a major basis from the detailed schedule we have
been given in advance. This was frequently a problem in '60 and we
found the only way to resolve it was to avoid putting out any local
schedule by the advance man or anyone else on the scene. If there
is a necessity of changing the detailed schedule that the staff carries,
this change should be put out by you or the Tour Office as a
revision of our regular schedule. The problem is that when a schedule
is put out locally and left on the table in each person's hotel
room, it is not always noticed by all of the staff people, and I
don't think you can count on their planning to follow it. You also
have the danger of it being wrong, and having someone follow it,
anyway.
I've noticed at several stops that there were huge piles of "hand made"
signs, stacked at the entrance to the rally area, in full view of
the press and this sort of defeats the atmosphere we're trying to create.
This was especially noticeable at the Monument Circle in Indianapolis.
One thing I'm sure you've noticed and corrected is that at a number
of the stops after we made the decision to put the TV stand to the
side, instead of directly in front of the platform, they put it on
the side which required the cameras to shoot directly into the sun
where it could just as well have been on the other side, so that they
would have been shooting with the sun behind them. This is something
the advance man should take into consideration in making the prelimi-
nary set-up.
Just as a reminder, it is important to try to work out some method
of identification with badges for celebrities who will be working
the platform prior to the RN appearance.
In order to avoid the problem that arose in Philadelphia regarding
the H&H car, I would appreciate it if either Larry or I could be
notified, as far in advance as possible, of any plan to change the
- 2
normal arrangement regarding that car, since we do make specific
plans based on the assumption that the car will be there and in
its normal position. I know there may be times when this has to
be changed, but it would sure help to know about it ahead of time.
'RN has mentioned several times to me, as I'm sure he has to you,
in recent days, how very pleased he is with the outstanding work
done by our advance men. He was especially impressed by the
Philadelphia-Pennsylvania-Nev Jersey motorcade, and has said several
times that those responsible should receive strong commendation.
Sorry this is all I can think of to bother you with, but I'm sure
I'll find something more as the weeks go on.

Dear Miss Woods,
I recall your thoughtful help to arrange for Mr. Nixon to
campaign with me in 1966. I want to volunteer my services to
Mr. Nixon in this crucial campaign. I am sure that you and the
other members of the staff who have worked so long and loyally
must be delighted at Mr. Nixon's nomination. I share this
enthusiasm with you, not only because of his help to me in my
unsuccessful campaign, but because I believe he can be the
leader our nation and our party need.
I have extensive contacts with people in the eight counties
of the 35th Congressional District (Montgomery, Otsego, Chenango,
Cortland, Cayuga, Seneca and Yates Counties), as well as neigh-
boring counties like Wayne, Monroe and Steuben here in Western
New York. This is good Republican country, and Mr. Nixon has many
friends in this area.
While I was unsuccessful in my campaign, I do not feel that
my role would be a detriment. I am certain that I have the
recommendation of each of the Republican County Chairmen in the
above counties and that of all State and Local Republican Officers.
I am enclosing my biography and some other materials for your
information. I want to emphasize that I am volunteering. I would
be pleased to have any recommendation of a role that I could play
in the campaign.
Please accept my appreciation for presenting my credentials
and my offer of work appropriately.

night occur. Your follow-up assistance will be apereciated.

Dear Dick,
Dodee and I were delighted by your first ballot nomina-
tion and look forward to your election to the Presidency
this Fall.
After three busy months as Assistant Executive Secre-
tary, Arrangements Committee, and Chief Sergeant-at-
Arms for the National Convention at Miami Beach, I
am ready to press on in your behalf in any capacity
my experience allows. There are a few areas in which
I believe my assistance would be helpful to you.
First, in the security area, it is my observation at
this point that you may be overpowered to the extent
your campaign effort could be hampered. You need
someone to relax the Secret Service.
Second, I believe I could help in the Press relations
area. My wide personal acquaintance with members of
the press, including locals who rarely make the Wash-
ington, D.C. scene, should be valuable in the production
of local color stories helpful to you. The locals in
cities, towns and counties visited by you as a Nominee
are too often overlooked as to motorcade accommoda-
tion, accessibility to you, etc.
Third, in the speaker-bureau area, 1 believe I could
do a creditable job. Besides a wide acquaintanceship
with many athletes, actors and actresses, political
personages, plus a broad recall of the physical accom-
modations for speaking appearances in most cities of
any size in the United States, I have had political-
problem contact with previous speaker bureau people,
Page 2
August 24, 1968
such as Congressman Bob Wilson, Cy Laughter, etc.
Fourth, I have a considerable 8 mm color movie
library of your United States and Foreign Travels
covering your eight years as Vice President. Some-
one, with political and technical knowledge, should
look these over.
May I hear from you at an early convenience?
Sincerely,
Jack Sherwood
