RE:
UCN Projects
This memorandum lists several United Citizens for
Nixon projects which are underway as well as several
areas of anticipated activity. For each project underway, a staff
organizer has been named who can receive or supply information
concerning the project. In some instances, staff experts in
certain fields are anticipated (e.g. ethnic and minorities),
but this work is presently being done by volunteers.
In many cases national chairmen have also been named.
Among them are: Les Brown, Celebrities; Hon. John D. Lodge,
Ambassadors; Dr. Edward R. Annis, Healing Arts; David Eisenhower,
Youth; Larry MacPhail, Athletes; and Dr. Bob Spitzer, Agriculture.

STATUS REPORT: UNITED CITIZENS FOR NIXON
As of June 6, 1968
SPECIAL PROJECTS
CLUBS In order to give virtually everyone who wishes to go to work
now for Nixon something specific and well-directed to do, a program
of Nixon Clubs is being developed. It will be incorporated into a
pamphlet entitled "How You Can Organize a Nixon Club". This pam-
phlet will become a part of the United Citizens for Nixon organiza-
tional kit. Initially, it will be mailed to all persons in the
four-state area.
PENNSYLVANIA Ben Cotten has spent a week in the state making pre-
liminary contacts and initiating the field program. Abbott Washburn
has made several prime contacts and through Kevin McCann has arranged
the opening of a storefront in Gettysburg to achieve exposure to
heavy tourist traffic. Abbott has also been in touch with John
Eisenhower who will be helping in the state's activities. Bill
Fuller spent a day in Pennsylvania working with trade associations
and publications people. A tentative letter also has been drafted
for mailing to the Nixon supporter mailing list in Pennsylvania.
Bob Ellsworth has asked that we desist from any further overt
organization work until we can meet with Bob and Arlin Adams.
ILLINOIS Field representative Gerald Oliver has begun United
Citizens activities in the state. He has been placing campaign
literature and RN position papers with key state leaders, and
working in cooperation with Bill Rentschler and other state
Nixon leaders to develop citizens programs among special occupa-
tional groups. He will submit his program to us before beginning
open organizational work
OHIO Activities here have been awaiting assignable fieldmen. We
plan to send Jim Skidmore and one field man in to this state next
Tuesday. Abbott Washburn has arranged with Oliver Gayle of
Cincinnati to develop a steering committee and prominate citizens /
in that city.
MICHIGAN Plans here have been in abeyance pending arrangements with
Senator Lockwood, and the close of the Michigan legislative session.
New Jersey Although not a direct United Citizens project, Jim
Skidmore's New Jersey success can partially be credited to us as
it was our Field Director whose time was consumed in this excellent
victory.
COMMITTEES
AMBASSADORS Roger Clark has put this together in fine order. A
group of seventeen members were announced on this open-end commit-
tee. Roger is pursuing additional members.
COMMITTEES
ATHLETES Ready to go public in grand style, this group boasts a
top calibre list and a brochure now in the process of being printed.
The moratorium created by the RFK tragedy will delay announcement
which had been planned for this week
CELEBRITIES Along with his work in the athletes area, Cy
Laughter has taken on this project. He is extremely active in
this area and is developing a large program for both endorsement
and candidate appearances. A steering committee is being formed,
hopefully to meet and be photographed with RN in San Diego on June
20. (Athletes may also be included in this occasion.)
CUBANS This voluntarily self-sustaining division has generated
great interest among Cubans and has enjoyed excellent coverage in
the Spanish press. Jim Day was in Florida last week and during his
trip he met with leaders of the group. He reports progress and
ambitious plans for the national covention.
DOCTORS Letters from Doctors for Nixon are in the mail to the
entire American Medical Association membership. There has not
been enough time to receive replies in volume as yet.
ETHNICS The fine talents of Roger Clark are now being applied
to the challenge of developing ethnic groups for Nixon. He has
a full program under way and is meeting daily with leaders of
various groups. Tuesday he and I met with Congressman Durwinski
for a most productive session.
FARMERS Dr. Spitzer visited our headquarters last week with a
full program for farmers. It is in abeyance pending budget.
NIXON NETWORK The Nixon Nominator is being mailed to this list.
TRADE ASSOCIATIONS Bill Fuller, through research and personal
discussions with his contacts in the trade association field, is
developing a list of those associations which have publications
accepting advertising and potentially receptive to printing
editorial material on the campaign.
VETERANS Among the most advanced of UCN committees, this group
held its final preliminary organization meeting (May 24); was
publicly announced (May 30); organized in Pennsylvania division
which is ready to go public pending go-ahead from the campaign
leadership; June 10 is the target date for a test mailing to five
thousand recently retired Viet Nam vets; preparations are under-
way to run an ad proposed for the July issue of the national
VFW publication; the national steering committee is being ex-
panded on a continuning basis; June 28 another meeting of the
national committee is scheduled; comprehensive memoranda are
being prepared outlining in further detail the progress herein
mentioned.
COMMITTEES
YOUNG ADULTS Jay Wilkinson is located in UCN headquarters devoting
full time to this project. So far his activities have been mostly
in the area of market research.
YOUTH FOR NIXON This week the entire committee moved into UCN
headquarters. They are very active continuing previous programs
and making plans for the national convention and fall campaigning.
Immediate project: student leader program throughout this summer.
THE ETHNIC PROGRAM
Almost everyone we have ta ked with says (1) a substantial
portion of the ethnic vote which could be decisive in a number of key
states can be attracted to Nixon with proper organization and (2) past
campaigns which relied upon preconvention efforts of the Republican
National Committee in the ethnic field failed to provide the organization
needed.
Accordingly, our pre-Convention goals are:
1. Personal contact with key ethnic leaders in each
nationality enlisting their support. Where personal contact
not feasible, personalized RN letters to be sent (draft
attached). Target date for contacting at least 200-250
ethnic leaders is July 8.
2. Formation of national organizing committees for
each nationality composed of leading influential persons.
Target dates are July 15-31.
3. Formation of local nationality groups for Nixon in
key areas.
4.
Establishment of Washington coordinating staff
to:
(a) coordinate relations with ethnic media
and prepare special ethnic press releases;
-2-
(b) maintain a calendar of ethnic events;
(c) try to arrange for speakers, such as John
Lodge and Walter Judd, at ethnic functions that cannot
be attended by RN;
(d) prepare special campaign material.
Preliminary research indicates that the major ethnic groups
are the Germans, Italians and Poles -- between 5 and 10 million each,
the Greeks -- 2 million, the Czechs -- 1 million, the Hungarians -- 1
million, and the other Eastern European groups such as the Estonians,
Latvians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Slovaks, Croats, and Rumanians.
The major states with ethnic concentrations appear to be California,
Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York,
New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Other states with im -
portant ethnic concentrations appear to be Colorado, Florida, Maryland,
Missouri, Nebraska, Rhode Island and Texas.
Messrs. Evans and Clark have met with Congressman Derwinski
so that their efforts will be fully coordinated with those of the Nationalities
Division of the Republican National Committee. Congressman Derwinski
insured us that our efforts in this regard were most welcome and that they
would undoubtedly complement and strengthen the overall Party program
in this area.
-3-
Last Monday Tom Evans, Roger Clark and Governor Lodge met
eith nine ethnic leaders representing organizations in nine cities from
New York to Los Angeles. A list of the participants and the agenda of the
meeting are attached. Each participant agreed to canvass his ethnic group
and to submit to us names of persons who should be contacted for positions
on the national committees and the local clubs.
A budget request has been submitted regarding two individuals with
ethnic backgrounds who wish to serve as paid organizers.
Local organizing efforts have already been started among Hungarians
in Milwaukee and among Poles in Buffalo. Local efforts will be encouraged
as soon as we learn the name of a competent organizer in the community.
Budget proposals are being prepared for participation with the
Republican National Committee in a hospitality suite at the LULAC Convention
in San Antonio beginning July 27. LULAC is a national Spanish-American
organization with a mailing list of 10-12 thousand. Rockefeller will be the
featured speaker at this event.
Efforts are being made to get John Lodge as a speaker at a Captive
Nations program in New York on July 27.
A separate effort for Cuban-Americans is already well under way
under the direction of Mr. Bebe Rebozo.
-4-
Heads of the local Republican Party Nationalities Division have
been contacted in Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Colorado, as has been
the Republican National Committee organizer in the Mexican-American
area.
We are currently reviewing and evaluating the efforts of the ethnic
leaders in the 1960 and 1964 campaigns.

PRECINCTS: Bundy Clarke
In addition Dick Scaife has agreed to undertake the establishment of a national
finance committee.
Major UCN projects are described briefly below and the stage of development of
each is indicated, where appropriate, on the attached chart:
PRECINCT PROGRAM: Materials are being developed, including manuals and slide
series.
SPECIAL COMMITTEES: Nineteen committees have been commenced. At least ten more
are anticipated before the National Convention. In the coming two weeks Special
Committee activities will be concentrated in three areas: 1) Announcing committees
to the national press and releasing stories on committee members to their home-
town media; 2) Pinning down practical pre-convention and post-convention programs
for existent committees, and; 3) Launching new committees.
NIXON CLUBS: In order to establish several hundred clubs in July a crash program
has been undertaken within the last ten days. In 16 states reliable persons
have been asked to see to it that a certain number of Nixon Clubs (from 5 to 100)
are formed by July 10. In addition, many personal contacts by UCN staff members
have been and will be made: 50 staff letters have been mailed and 500 more will
be. To the "Four State" group, 17,000 club kits are on the way by mail to known
Nixon supporters. To Goldwater supporters in many states an additional 9,000
kits are in the mail. It should be noted that the cost of mailing a kit is about
the same as the cost of a letter soliciting interest in the project.

ORGANIZING COMMITTEES AND STATE ORGANIZATION: In order to increase interest and
visability in states where delegates may be influenced, and in order to be ready
for fast and efficient post-convention organization by states, UCN has begun
working on a state basis in two ways. Fieldmen are operating in states where
visability is sought, and in all 50 states UCN has begun compiling lists of
influential citizens so that in the near future we can begin signing up members
of state "Organizing Committees." Later, these "Organizing Committees" will be
the basis, with Nixon clubs at the grass roots and special committees supplying
other community leaders, for full-fledged statewide UCN organizations.

UNITED CITIZENS FOR NIXON PROGRESS REPORT
July 1, 1968
FOR: Charles S. Rhyne, Esq.
FROM: T. W. Evans
United Citizens for Nixon's first storefront was opened this week in
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania by Kevin McCann. In addition to UNC National
Chairman Charles Rhyne, UCN was represented by David Eisenhower and
several staff members. The opening was enthusiastically received and
news coverage was good. Additional public events this week were
appointment of David Eisenhower as National Youth Chairman and a press
conference in Indianapolis announcing Mayors for Nixon, which was
covered on the front pages of the Indianapolis and Minneapolis newspapers.
Random clippings are attached.
SPECIAL COMMITTEES: The accompanying charts show progress of committees
and the addition of new ones.
NIXON CLUBS: This crash program is in its second week. Over thirty
thousand kits have been distributed nationally and more are being sent
out daily. It is too early to know how many clubs are actually being
set up.
ORGANIZING COMMITTEES AND STATE ORGANIZATION: A major push to get names
for UCN State Organizing Committees began this week. In addition the
field activity has increased as may be seen from the accompanying list
of field assignments.

BOB HALDEMAN -- from rmw -- 6/28/68
In 1960 at the convention -- our top political people -- and our
chief scheduler -- Jim Bassett -- met with the various state chairmen --
to work out - or discuss events in their states.
This would be especially important with the "key" states that we want
to concentrate on.
I think it is vital that - since this time we will be involved in a fight for
the nomination -- which was not the case by the time we got to the convention
last time -- that our top political people will have very little time to meet
with the chairmen until after RN is nominated - after that it is terribly
important to meet with them -- get ideas -- and get our Nixon people going!

My Congressional sources are complaining that they are confused by
the variety of contact from various segments of the RN campaign. In
addition to the regular contacts from the Congressional Liaison Office
in Washington, they report considerable imput from our New York head-
quarters and a growing number of contacts from the Citizens for Nixon
operation.
This subject received considerable attention at the Congressional
Chowder & Marching meeting last week and it has come up several times
recently in my conversations with Congressmen, Senators, and members
of their staffs.
It is understandable that various segments of the campaign have friends
on the Hill and there may be good reason why all these sources should be
utilized. It is not possible to run all approaches to the Hill through
our Congressional Liaison operation.
However, I anticipate there will be increasing contact in this field
during the coming months and we should do something to coordinate this
and to keep our friends in the Congress from becoming confused over
the people they are to deal with on behalf of RN. This is especially
important since we have had numerous meetings arranged by the Congres-
sional Liaison office here with members of Congress and their AA's in
which we have consistently advised them that the main contact would
come through Congressional Liaison. I'd like an opportunity to dis-
cuss this with the campaign leadership at one of our future strategy
meetings.

IMMED/TATE RELEASE
CHICAGO, July 9--Black leadership in Chicago strongly endorses the concept
of "black capitalism" spelled out by Republican Presidential candidate Richard
Nixon, his Illinois campaign chief said today.
William H. Rentschler, Illinois for Nixon State Chairman, made the statement
in the first of a series of "frank, pull-no-punches" reports on urgent Illinois
problems and citizen attitudes which Rentschler said the former Vice President has
asked him to prepare.
The initial report, which has been forwarded directly to Nixon, is based on
a fact-finding mission, by Rentschler and two other Nixon aides, to the West and
South Sides of Chicago and on meetings with black leaders.
Rentschler said Nixon has asked him to make additional reports covering a
wide range of issues and institutions.
"After all," said Rentschler in explaining the new campaign technique, "a
Presidential candidate can't be everywhere at once in this huge and complex land of
ours. He needs eyes and ears and advocates throughout the country. We are simply
trying to convey Mr. Nixon's ideas and concern to the citizens of Illinois while
providing him with greater insight into their wishes and worries, and with deeper
understanding of their interests.
Among the major points in Rentschler's first report were these:
1. Black leadership in Chicago strongly endorses the concept of "black
capitalism" spelled out by Nixon in recent speeches. Many black people, however,
are unaware that Nixon has taken the lead in proposing this approach toward ending
the squalor and despair of the ghetto.
- more -
ADD ONE/ILLINOIS FOR NIXON ORGANIZATION
2. Black leaders say they and their people want more opportunity to see and
hear Nixon on their home-grounds. They want to question him directly on his ideas,
approaches, and specific programs. This is equally true of other Presidental
candidates.
3. The death of Sen. Robert Kennedy has left a void in the black community.
Black people are seeking a leader to whom they can turn. Black leaders in Chicago
feel Nixon can make significant inroads into the black vote if he can get his views
across to black people and convince them of his sincerity and concern.
4. Militant black leaders feel their people have been used and held in
virtual bondage by the Democrat power structure in Chicago. Their overriding
objective is to overturn the Daley machine, which they feel has been repressive,
giving only lip service to their main aims. They blame the Daley machine for much
of black Chicago's misery.
5. Despite their strong anti-Daley bias, many blacks in Chicago have a long-
standing, deep-seated prejudice against the Republican party. Many vote Democrat
by habit and are unable to give cogent reasons for this practice. They profess to
be "open-minded" at this point and a goodly number probably can be "converted" by
the right Republican candidate.
6. Black leaders express the view that Sen. Charles Percy as the Republican
candidate for Vice President would significantly increase Nixon's acceptance among
black voters. Percy's appearances in Chicago ghetto areas during the spring riots
and shortly after the assassination of Martin Luther King made a deep impression.
By contrast, they note that Daley flew over the burned-out areas in a helicopter.
7. There is a strong desire among black people to improve and upgrade the
areas where they now live. This to many is more realistic than the idea of moving
to the suburbs. Black people want the opportunity to own and manage businesses
where they now live, and they want to know that the better-paying, higher-prestige
- more -
ADD TWO/ILLINOIS FOR NIXON ORGANIZATION
jobs in these areas are available to them. Despite sometimes deplorable living
conditions, long-time residents off he West and South sides of Chicago have pride in
and deep attachment to those areas, and they want to see those areas improved. They
are not for the most part inclined to move if conditions can be improved significantly
and soon where they are.
8. Youth Power, Inc., a not-for-profit private employment service, is
sponsoring a small plant in the Lawndale area of Chicago which will assemble wall
banners picturing black leaders like Dr. King. The plant will employ approximately
22 teen-agers and is being underwritten by private enterprise. This idea could be
expanded both within the Lawndale community and into other areas. Other sound
concepts used by the Chicago branch of Youth Power include a "job fair" which
attracted to the ghetto recruiters from 26 companies; a private bus system to trans-
port ghetto workers to higher-paying jobs in the suburbs; and free employment
counseling service for ghetto youths.
9. Many women receiving public aid who want to work are unable to do so
because of the absence or inadequacy of day-care centers where their children can be
cared for while they are at work. Reliable day-care centers are desperately needed.
10. The black community is deeply depressed and disillusioned by promises
made and promptly broken by government agencies ranging from the local to the national
level. Many blacks are skeptical of all promises because they have been disappointed
so often. This is a major factor in the latent bitterness which results in various
mass disorders and individual lawlessness.
Rentschler was joined on the initial fact-finding mission by Connie Mack
Higgins, an executive of the First National Bank of Chicago and a Cook County Area
Chairman for Nixon, and by Thomas N. Jacob, a Bloomington attorney.

FROM:
Pat Hillings
I discussed my new campaign assignment with Bob Haldeman in New York
late last week. I am pleased with the mission and I will be available
full time, reporting to my New York Headquarters office next Monday.
I am flying to California tonight to assist Bob Nesen and the California
Committee in opening various headquarters around the State and to make
sure we are off to a good start in establishing our California organi-
zation.
Meanwhile, I have given some thought to the new assignment and I suggest
the following outline of points which should be covered by the new opera-
tion:
1. A daily analysis of statements made by the opposition which means
Hubert Humphrey primarily. We should have access to daily reports
and I will ship my video tape equipment to New York which we can
utilize in monitoring opposition telecasts, etc.
2. We should establish a broader base of intelligence sources on
Capitol Hill, with the press, and elsewhere. We should endeaver
to have contacts established within the opposition campaign staff.
quick
3. We should have someone (perhaps a friendly member of the press corps)
watching HHH on the road and keeping in contact with his staff people.
good
4. I should meet personally with all of the RN state chairmen and have
someone designated in each state to work with us in obtaining state-
ments, letters to the editor, etc. to counter-attack the enemy on
the local level.
5. I have several Congressional staff sources whom I have approached
confidentially who have agreed to provide me with daily analysis
of the opposition activities and who will also help in planting
counter-attack statements.
6. We should develop creative ideas as to statements and ways and means
of attacking the opposition. I have several ideas in mind as to this
which I will discuss in person.
7. I would like to keep the staff for this project small especially in
view of the confidential nature of the assignment. I will need a good
secretary who is especially competent in taking dictation and handling
the telephone. I also wish to transfer Jean Croft from the Congressional
Liaison operation in Washington to New York to assist in handling the
various contacts we will be making around the country in view of her
thirteen years experience in national campaigns and the fact that she
knows personally many of the people we will be asking for assistance
and cooperation. In addition to volunteer help from Capitol Hill and
certain other sources, we may need at least one additional staff member
who has some journalistic ability who could aid us in preparing state-
ments attacking the opposition, letters to the editor, etc.
The new office space at 445 Park Avenue will, I hope, allow for at
least three people in this operation and I believe it important that
my offices be private because of the confidential nature of this
activity.
8. I also understand I am to assist all campaign personnel in strengthen-
ing our contacts with friends around the country and to be especially
helpful in certain areas where there is a feeling that there is little
or no contact with the overall campaign. I consider this assignment
especially important as we must develop more enthusiasm for RN all
across the country and too many of our friends are constantly complain-
ing that they are not being consulted or don't know what' going on.
Some of them may not be too important or helpful at this stage but a
negative attitude on their part can hurt us. I will be happy to do
everything I can in this regard.
If you need me before I report to your office next Monday, you may reach
me at any of the following numbers in Los Angeles:
(213) 385-3048, my Los Angeles law office
(213) 482-4500, Nixon Los Angeles headquarters
(213) EL 5-0431, my home
I am looking forward to working with John Mitchell and the rest of the
staff in New York.

I must admit that I am relieved that it will not be necessary
for no to get. involved with the Citizens operation. Certainly I
was not surprised at Mr. Rhyne's reaction, nor, I imagine, was
Bob 21 Ideman. I still believe that the only way I could have been
of assistance was along the lines I outlined 1n my memorandumto
You Mitchell, backed by the full weight of the Boss. However, I
knew when I drafted the memorandum that this was virtually impossible
at this stage, although I was hoping for a miracle. Not because
of any great desire on my part to get involved in this mess, but
simply because I regard the Citizens operation as important and I
1 convinced that there is a very real danger that it will fail
to accomplish its mission.
In a long. rather taotless memorandum to Buchanan dated 9 May,
wrote that what was needed in the Citizens area was "someone to
ve the authority to tell some of these people that what they
propose is a pile of crap, and if they can't come up with something
better, they can pack their bags. We need someone with guts enough
to say No." I went on to observe that 1t was unlikely that this
could be done, but that without it the Citizens operation would grow
increasingly autonomous and insensitive to coordinated direction
from the national campaign staff. I guess as an organizational purist
I an appalled at the idea of a claim to operational autonomy when
the campaign requires the closest possible degree of coordination.
Due then there are political considerations, and as I noted to Pat.
" Te must simply live with it the best we can".
To live with it I would think consideration should be given.
to two ideas: (1) formulate specific program requirements to be
implemented by Evans, et. al., and (2) circumscribe the role of the
Citizens operation to those areas where you are satisfied they are
making progress, allocating other campaign requirements to organ-
izations directly under your control. With regard to the former
suggestion, I am willing to help formulate these requirements 11 you
wish 1f you will pass on whatever information would be helpful.
I am enclosing two memoranda which I sent to Evans in early
May when he first asked my help. To the best of my knowledge,
neither had much of an impact. However, I think you might see some
items which deserve follow-up even at this late date.
I am, of course, ready to render whatever assistance I can in
this area. Please don't hesitate to call upon me. The way I look
at it, my Job is to do whatever you people feel will be of assistance
to the Boss's campaign.

I have not heard from you whether contact has been made with Tom Evans, et.al.
for my participation in UNC activities, so I have not made any effort to contact
Tom in this regard. I assume that if you want me to follow up as we discussed last
week, you will advise me.
I have studied the various reports you gave me and must confess that I did
not find them to be very helpful. They read like an annual corporate report --
phrases such as "reports progress and ambitious plans". "fine talents".
"go public in grand style". ."a full program under way," etc. lack precision
and provide little in the way of information upon which to evaluate progress to date.
On the basis of these reports, I must conclude that -- at the least -- there is a
serious break-down in communication. Certainly you are not in a position to judge
or decide upon the basis of information rendered in these reports. More important,
this imprecision in reporting and this tendency toward puffing suggest that we
should be on guard for imprecision in programming as well.
In your Memorandum of Record in re your meeting with Evans and Day on
19 June 1968, you indicated that several projects were under way for which the
results were to be reported to you. I might suggest that you follow up and request
the following information in the event you do not now have it:
(1) Report on the progress of the Nixon Club mailing -- specifically,
(a) number of clubs organized from mailing, (b) number of members
Aigned up; (c) amount of money returned, (d) cost of mailing to
date. Also, number of clubs started not as a result of direct mail
(by fieldmen, local self-starters, etc.).
(2) Results of advertisement run in Stars & Stripes; plans for other such
advertisements.
(3) Table of Organization showing assignments, including salaries, by
each division.
(4) Weekly report of activities.
(5) Results to date of doctor's mailing (cost, number of returns, amount
of money returned, percent of return, profit (or loss).
(6) Report on steps being taken to restore Nixon Network to original role
and to meet commitments as promised in initial mailing.
2.
I have prepared some notes on likely problem areas which I believe can be
identified on the basis of the reports submitted to date. However, I will hold
off in this regard until I have a chance to discuss them with Tom and to see more
detailed programming information.
I wish to reiterate my position stated last week that I reserve the
prerogative to decline to become involved in this area of activity if I determine
that it is not likely to be successful. Since our meeting, I have talked with
several people who are acquainted with the day to day operations at UHI, and I
must say that I am not optimistic that I can be of much direct assistance. How-
ever, as I indicated, I am willing to reserve judgment on this point until such
time as I have an opportunity to make a determination based upon first-hand
analysis of the facts

Frank Lincoln called:
"As you know I have been working on this transition
thing. I have seen Charles Murphy several times. He
has suggested -- I know he had talked to LBJ first --- the
possibility of a meeting between the two men two or three
days after the election. He thought it would be well if
they could get together and just have a meeting. What
he wants to know is whether RN would accept before he
asks him. (Apparently if RN would say yes -- when LBJ
calls to congratulate him on Tuesday night - he would ask
him then to meet).
"RN should indicate the place he would like to have it.
Time and place, etc. any thoughts that RN has on that
Murphy would like to have.
"Also in talking with Clark Clifford -- he thought it would
be a very good idea for him to get together with RN (not
publicly) after the election. "
PLEASE ADVISE OVER THE WEEKEND IF AT ALL POSSIBLE AS I TOLD
MURPHY I WOULD BE BACK IN TOUCH ON MONDAY.

MEMO FOR
BOB HALDEMAN
10/4/68
10:00
FROM
HARLOW
The attached statement has been dictated to Washington. It will
be taken by hand to Walter Reed Hospital as soon as physically
possible.
There it will be turned over to Colonel Hall for personal delivery
to General Eisenhower, if the doctors will allow it. Bob Schulz
is standing by for the General's instructions.
Schulz is in Gettysburg. I have arranged for him to work out with
Tony Jurick how this will be handled with the press to get the
maximum publicity. Everyone knows there is extreme urgency.
Now we can only wait -- and pray.
Opinion polls this morning suggest to me that the American people may
have been swayed by President Johnson's recent order to stop our attacks of
North Vietnam.
If that interpretation is correct, I feel an urgent obligation to offer
these observations:
First, Richard Nixon deserves the plaudits of the American people for
his extraordinarily responsible conduct of his campaign vis-a-vis Vietnam.
His outspoken support of the President throughout the campaign in major
measure gave the President the freedom to take his action.
Second, even though the President's action, taken just before the
election, seemed likely to have political repercussions adverse to his
own fortunes, Richard Nixon resisted all pressures to challenge the action
on political grounds. In the circumstances, this must have taken extreme
self-restraint. Again I suggest that all of us should salute Richard
Nixon for it.
Third, the adversities that have developed in the President's program
since the bombing halt was announced have suggested to many people that the
President acted hastily, perhaps seeking to influence the election. But
again -- Mr. Nixon withheld criticism. I suggest that this restraint warrants
national commendations.
Finally, only yesterday Richard Nixon, under interrogation on a national
television program, reiterated his view that the President had acted properly
-- again he declined to attribute political motivations -- and then he went
further, offering his support of the President and Secretary of State after
election to help win the struggle for peace in Vietnam.
It would be supreme irony if these statesmanlike positions of Richard
Nixon, maintained despite the greatest provocations, should now be turned
into instruments of political injury to him.
It would be a miscarriage of justice for the American people to turn to
his opponent (1) because of an action the President, not the Vice President,
took; (2) because of an action the Nixon restraint made possible; and (3)
because of an action the Vice President's campaign on a number of occasions
almost made impossible.
I believe the American people want fairness. In the Presidency they
want responsibility, ability and integraty. And all of us want, in our
President, the character and the decisiveness to stand up to the hard
problems that vex our country at home and in the world.
I reiterate my full support of Richard Nixon on all of these counts.
I commend him once again to my countrymen as the man best qualified to
reunify the United States and to win an enduring peace in the world.

REPORT OF INSTANT RESEARCH: LAST INTERVIEW = OCTOBER 1968*
SAMPLE SIZE : 2,667
A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF THIS QUESTIONNAIRE WAS MADE ON
OCTOBER 1968 WITH 613 RESPONSES. IN GENERAL, THERE IS LITTLE
CHANGE (2-3 PERCENTAGE POINTS) IN THE SUBSTANTIVE CONCLUSIONS WHEN
ANALYSIS OF THE LARGER SAMPLE IS MADE. FOR THIS REASON, A COPY OF THESE
CONCLUSIONS IS APPENDED. THE TWO EXCEPTIONS ARE:
1) HUMPHREY'S FAVORABILITY SCORE WITH VOTERS HAS BEEN REVERSED AND
THE BALANCE IS NOW SLIGHTLY IN HIS FAVOR.
2) A SLIGHTLY LARGER NUMBER OF VOTERS THINK NIXON IS NOW REFUSING TO
DEBATE WITH HUMPHREY. HOWEVER, THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO CHANGE IN THE
IMPACT OF THIS REFUSAL ON FAVORABILITY TOWARD NIXON.
BECAUSE OF THE LARGER SAMPLE SIZE, IT IS POSSIBLE TO BREAK OUT THE TRIAL
HEATS BY STATE. SAMPLE SIZE VARIED FROM 289-311 PER STATE, AND
CONSEQUENTLY THE RESULTS SHOULD BE TREATED WITH CAUTION. SINCE THIS ISA
TELEPHONE SURVEY THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS METHOD SHOULD BE REMEMBERED.

FROM: JOHN WHITAKER
RE:
ATTACHED SCHEDULE
Possibility that we will make Albany late afternoon of the 28th and
go after the workers getting out and go straight into Pittsburgh with
perhaps only 30 minutes staff time before RN speaks. This would be
more acceptable than leaving him in Pittsburgh all afternoon fighting
off the hacks where we are really going to have a problem; not one
that can't be solved but one that will leave considerable bitterness.
Also note pages 11 and 12 which shows it is possible for RN to do San Antonio,
Fort Worth, Amarillo and E1 Paso and arrive at the Century Plaza about
10:45 p.m. PST which will really be 12:45 on his east time zone clock.
I think thisis pretty rough considering the motorcade the next day.
On the other hand he will be going for broke as we come down the stretch.
Please let me know your thoughts on Texas.
Note also on page 10 I show him overnight in Duluth after the Syracuse
rally with the morning off and a noon rally in Duluth. Let me know
soonest if you want to lock that one.

Dear Don:
Recalling your request for a report from time to
time on what issues are being most discussed by the people
back home, I want to pass on one or two impressions picked
up during a tour through Western Nebraska last week.
I found a number of persons wondering whether
Dick Nixon will be "tough on communism." While you and I
would have imagined that no one could doubt Dick's strong
anti-communist stand, in view of his outstanding record in
the House and Senate and his numerous statements so far in
the campaign, I think it would be well if the people in
New York reviewed this matter.
The concern expressed to me was focused primarily
on subversion in this country, but also reflected an interest
in "standing up to the communists" in our foreign relations.
I would be interested in what reaction you get to
this suggestion.
With kind personal regards,
Sincerely,
Roman L. Hruska

For each project underway, a staff\norganizer has been named who can receive or supply information\nconcerning the project. In some instances, staff experts in\ncertain fields are anticipated (e.g. ethnic and minorities),\nbut this work is presently being done by volunteers.\nIn many cases national chairmen have also been named.\nAmong them are: Les Brown, Celebrities; Hon. John D. Lodge,\nAmbassadors; Dr. Edward R.

EVANS\nSTATUS REPORT: UNITED CITIZENS FOR NIXON\nAs of June 6, 1968\nSPECIAL PROJECTS\nCLUBS In order to give virtually everyone who wishes to go to work\nnow for Nixon something specific and well-directed to do, a program\nof Nixon Clubs is being developed. It will be incorporated into a\npamphlet entitled \"How You Can Organize a Nixon Club\". This pam-\nphlet will become a part of the United Citizens for Nixon organiza-\ntional kit. Initially, it will be mailed to all persons in the\nfour-state area.\nPENNSYLVANIA Ben Cotten has spent a week in the state making pre-\nliminary contacts and initiating the field program. Abbott Washburn\nhas made several prime contacts and through Kevin McCann has arranged\nthe opening of a storefront in Gettysburg to achieve exposure to\nheavy tourist traffic. Abbott has also been in touch with John\nEisenhower who will be helping in the state's activities. Bill\nFuller spent a day in Pennsylvania working with trade associations\nand publications people. A tentative letter also has been drafted\nfor mailing to the Nixon supporter mailing list in Pennsylvania.\nBob Ellsworth has asked that we desist from any further overt\norganization work until we can meet with Bob and Arlin Adams.\nILLINOIS Field representative Gerald Oliver has begun United\nCitizens activities in the state. He has been placing campaign\nliterature and RN position papers with key state leaders, and\nworking in cooperation with Bill Rentschler and other state\nNixon leaders to develop citizens programs among special occupa-\ntional groups. He will submit his program to us before beginning\nopen organizational work\nOHIO Activities here have been awaiting assignable fieldmen. We\nplan to send Jim Skidmore and one field man in to this state next\nTuesday. Abbott Washburn has arranged with Oliver Gayle of\nCincinnati to develop a steering committee and prominate citizens /\nin that city.\nMICHIGAN Plans here have been in abeyance pending arrangements with\nSenator Lockwood, and the close of the Michigan legislative session.\nNew Jersey Although not a direct United Citizens project, Jim\nSkidmore's New Jersey success can partially be credited to us as\nit was our Field Director whose time was consumed in this excellent\nvictory.\nCOMMITTEES\nAMBASSADORS Roger Clark has put this together in fine order. A\ngroup of seventeen members were announced on this open-end commit-\ntee. Roger is pursuing additional members.\nCOMMITTEES\nATHLETES Ready to go public in grand style, this group boasts a\ntop calibre list and a brochure now in the process of being printed.\nThe moratorium created by the RFK tragedy will delay announcement\nwhich had been planned for this week\nCELEBRITIES Along with his work in the athletes area, Cy\nLaughter has taken on this project. He is extremely active in\nthis area and is developing a large program for both endorsement\nand candidate appearances. A steering committee is being formed,\nhopefully to meet and be photographed with RN in San Diego on June\n20. (Athletes may also be included in this occasion.)\nCUBANS This voluntarily self-sustaining division has generated\ngreat interest among Cubans and has enjoyed excellent coverage in\nthe Spanish press. Jim Day was in Florida last week and during his\ntrip he met with leaders of the group. He reports progress and\nambitious plans for the national covention.\nDOCTORS Letters from Doctors for Nixon are in the mail to the\nentire American Medical Association membership. There has not\nbeen enough time to receive replies in volume as yet.\nETHNICS The fine talents of Roger Clark are now being applied\nto the challenge of developing ethnic groups for Nixon. He has\na full program under way and is meeting daily with leaders of\nvarious groups. Tuesday he and I met with Congressman Durwinski\nfor a most productive session.\nFARMERS Dr. Spitzer visited our headquarters last week with a\nfull program for farmers. It is in abeyance pending budget.\nNIXON NETWORK The Nixon Nominator is being mailed to this list.\nTRADE ASSOCIATIONS Bill Fuller, through research and personal\ndiscussions with his contacts in the trade association field, is\ndeveloping a list of those associations which have publications\naccepting advertising and potentially receptive to printing\neditorial material on the campaign.\nVETERANS Among the most advanced of UCN committees, this group\nheld its final preliminary organization meeting (May 24); was\npublicly announced (May 30); organized in Pennsylvania division\nwhich is ready to go public pending go-ahead from the campaign\nleadership; June 10 is the target date for a test mailing to five\nthousand recently retired Viet Nam vets; preparations are under-\nway to run an ad proposed for the July issue of the national\nVFW publication; the national steering committee is being ex-\npanded on a continuning basis; June 28 another meeting of the\nnational committee is scheduled; comprehensive memoranda are\nbeing prepared outlining in further detail the progress herein\nmentioned.\nCOMMITTEES\nYOUNG ADULTS Jay Wilkinson is located in UCN headquarters devoting\nfull time to this project. So far his activities have been mostly\nin the area of market research.\nYOUTH FOR NIXON This week the entire committee moved into UCN\nheadquarters. They are very active continuing previous programs\nand making plans for the national convention and fall campaigning.\nImmediate project: student leader program throughout this summer.\nTHE ETHNIC PROGRAM\nAlmost everyone we have ta ked with says (1) a substantial\nportion of the ethnic vote which could be decisive in a number of key\nstates can be attracted to Nixon with proper organization and (2) past\ncampaigns which relied upon preconvention efforts of the Republican\nNational Committee in the ethnic field failed to provide the organization\nneeded.\nAccordingly, our pre-Convention goals are:\n1. Personal contact with key ethnic leaders in each\nnationality enlisting their support. Where personal contact\nnot feasible, personalized RN letters to be sent (draft\nattached). Target date for contacting at least 200-250\nethnic leaders is July 8.\n2. Formation of national organizing committees for\neach nationality composed of leading influential persons.\nTarget dates are July 15-31.\n3. Formation of local nationality groups for Nixon in\nkey areas.\n4.\nEstablishment of Washington coordinating staff\nto:\n(a) coordinate relations with ethnic media\nand prepare special ethnic press releases;\n-2-\n(b) maintain a calendar of ethnic events;\n(c) try to arrange for speakers, such as John\nLodge and Walter Judd, at ethnic functions that cannot\nbe attended by RN;\n(d) prepare special campaign material.\nPreliminary research indicates that the major ethnic groups\nare the Germans, Italians and Poles -- between 5 and 10 million each,\nthe Greeks -- 2 million, the Czechs -- 1 million, the Hungarians -- 1\nmillion, and the other Eastern European groups such as the Estonians,\nLatvians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Slovaks, Croats, and Rumanians.\nThe major states with ethnic concentrations appear to be California,\nConnecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York,\nNew Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Other states with im -\nportant ethnic concentrations appear to be Colorado, Florida, Maryland,\nMissouri, Nebraska, Rhode Island and Texas.\nMessrs. Evans and Clark have met with Congressman Derwinski\nso that their efforts will be fully coordinated with those of the Nationalities\nDivision of the Republican National Committee. Congressman Derwinski\ninsured us that our efforts in this regard were most welcome and that they\nwould undoubtedly complement and strengthen the overall Party program\nin this area.\n-3-\nLast Monday Tom Evans, Roger Clark and Governor Lodge met\neith nine ethnic leaders representing organizations in nine cities from\nNew York to Los Angeles. A list of the participants and the agenda of the\nmeeting are attached. Each participant agreed to canvass his ethnic group\nand to submit to us names of persons who should be contacted for positions\non the national committees and the local clubs.\nA budget request has been submitted regarding two individuals with\nethnic backgrounds who wish to serve as paid organizers.\nLocal organizing efforts have already been started among Hungarians\nin Milwaukee and among Poles in Buffalo. Local efforts will be encouraged\nas soon as we learn the name of a competent organizer in the community.\nBudget proposals are being prepared for participation with the\nRepublican National Committee in a hospitality suite at the LULAC Convention\nin San Antonio beginning July 27. LULAC is a national Spanish-American\norganization with a mailing list of 10-12 thousand. Rockefeller will be the\nfeatured speaker at this event.\nEfforts are being made to get John Lodge as a speaker at a Captive\nNations program in New York on July 27.\nA separate effort for Cuban-Americans is already well under way\nunder the direction of Mr. Bebe Rebozo.\n-4-\nHeads of the local Republican Party Nationalities Division have\nbeen contacted in Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Colorado, as has been\nthe Republican National Committee organizer in the Mexican-American\narea.\nWe are currently reviewing and evaluating the efforts of the ethnic\nleaders in the 1960 and 1964 campaigns.\nNAME\nTITLE\nHOME ADDRESS\nHOME PHONE\nAlexander, Lamar\nDir./Planning\n4543 Klingle St., N.

Evans\nSix major UCN departments have been staffed as follows:\nTitle?\nPLANNING: Lamar Alexander\nADMINISTRATION: Jim Day\nPROGRAM: Don Whyte\nPoston.\nFIELD: Jim Skidmore\nPRESS: Lew Helm\nPRECINCTS: Bundy Clarke\nIn addition Dick Scaife has agreed to undertake the establishment of a national\nfinance committee.\nMajor UCN projects are described briefly below and the stage of development of\neach is indicated, where appropriate, on the attached chart:\nPRECINCT PROGRAM: Materials are being developed, including manuals and slide\nseries.\nSPECIAL COMMITTEES: Nineteen committees have been commenced. At least ten more\nare anticipated before the National Convention. In the coming two weeks Special\nCommittee activities will be concentrated in three areas: 1) Announcing committees\nto the national press and releasing stories on committee members to their home-\ntown media; 2) Pinning down practical pre-convention and post-convention programs\nfor existent committees, and; 3) Launching new committees.\nNIXON CLUBS: In order to establish several hundred clubs in July a crash program\nhas been undertaken within the last ten days. In 16 states reliable persons\nhave been asked to see to it that a certain number of Nixon Clubs (from 5 to 100)\nare formed by July 10. In addition, many personal contacts by UCN staff members\nhave been and will be made: 50 staff letters have been mailed and 500 more will\nbe. To the \"Four State\" group, 17,000 club kits are on the way by mail to known\nNixon supporters. To Goldwater supporters in many states an additional 9,000\nkits are in the mail. It should be noted that the cost of mailing a kit is about\nthe same as the cost of a letter soliciting interest in the project.\n- 2\nORGANIZING COMMITTEES AND STATE ORGANIZATION: In order to increase interest and\nvisability in states where delegates may be influenced, and in order to be ready\nfor fast and efficient post-convention organization by states, UCN has begun\nworking on a state basis in two ways. Fieldmen are operating in states where\nvisability is sought, and in all 50 states UCN has begun compiling lists of\ninfluential citizens so that in the near future we can begin signing up members\nof state \"Organizing Committees.\" Later, these \"Organizing Committees\" will be\nthe basis, with Nixon clubs at the grass roots and special committees supplying\nother community leaders, for full-fledged statewide UCN organizations.\nTWE/mok\ncc: Peter Flanigan\nSPECIAL COMMITTEES\nSTATUS\nSTAFF\nCONTACT\nCOMMITTEE\nUNDER\nDISCUSS ION\nCONTACTS\nIN GROUP\nARE KNOWN\nPROGRAM\nCONCEIVED\nPROGRAM\nBUDGETED\nCOMMITTEE\nANNOUNCED\nTO PRESS\nSTATE\nORGANIZATION\nUNDERTAKEN\nCOMMITTEE\nAGRICULTURE\nGILDNER\nV\nAMBASSADORS\nCLARK\nNONE\nREQUIRED\nATHLETES\nLAUGHTER\nCELEBRITIES\nLAUGHTER\nCUBANS\nREBOZO\n>\nNONE\nREQUIRED\nHEALING ARTS\nBOGAN\n<\nETHNIC\nCLARK\nV\n<\nLAW ENFORCEMENT\nWHYTE\nDOWD\nNONE\nLAW STUDENTS\nREQUIRED\nLAWYERS\nSTEWART\n<\nCOHEN\n<\nMAYORS\nv\nNIXON NETWORK\nWHYTE\n<\n<\nNIXONAIRES (STEWARDESS\nGRUBB\nSCHOLARS\nCLARK\nSENIOR CITIZENS\nSTIMPSON\nNONE\nTRADE ASSOCIATIONS\nFULLER\nREQUIRED\nVETERANS\nMURPHY\n<\nYOUNG ADULTS\nWILKINSON\nYOUTH\nALLIN\n<\n>\nAnticipated:\nARCHITECTS\nCULTURE & FINE ARTS\n<\nDRAFTSMEN\nV\nJEWISH COMMUNITY\nHAM RADIO\nHOUSEWIVES\nv\nMARITIME\nMINORITIES\nPILOTS\nV\nRELIGIOUS\nV\nSCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS\nTEACHERS :\nTRAVEL AGENTS\nLABOR\n>\nTAXI DRIVERS\n(others will be added)\nNIXON CLUBS\nContacts for\nPersons haveboen\ncontacted to\nMailings\nUCN Fieldmen\nOrganizing\nCommittee\nsot.up clubs.\nbeing collected\nALASKA.\nALABAMA\nARIZONA.\nARKANSAS\nX\nCALIFORNIA.\nCOLORADO\nCONNECTICUT.\nDELAWARE.\nD.C.\nFLORIDA\nX\nGEORGIA\nHAWAII\nIDAHO\nILLINOIS.\nX\nX\nINDIANA.\nIOWA\nX\nRon Romans\nRon Romans\nKANSAS\nKENTUCKY.\nX\nLOUISIANA.\nMAINE.\nX\nMARYLAND.\nMASSACHUSETTS.\nX\nX\nMICHIGAN.\nX\n<\nX\nRon Romans\nMINNESOTA.\nMISSISSIPPI.\nX\nRon Romans\nMISSOURI.\nMONTANA\ncontacted\nMailings\nFieldmen\nOrganizing\nLists\nX\nNEBRASKA\nNEVADA.\nNEW HAMPSHIRE\n-\nNEW JERSEY.\nNEW MEXICO.\nNEW YORK.\nNORTH CAROLINA.\nX\nNORTH DAKOTA.\nOHIO.\nX\nOKLAHOMA.\nX\nOREGON.\nX\nBenCotten\nPENNSYLVANIA.\nRHODE ISLAND.\nSOUTH CAROLINA\nSOUTH DAKOTA.\nTENNESSEE\nX\nTEXAS\nUTAH.\nVERMONT\nVIRGINIA\nX\n>\nWASHINGTON.\nWEST VIRGINIA.\nX\nWISCONSIN.\nWYOMING\nED CITIZENS FOR NIXON ! 918 16TH STREET, N.W./ WASHINGTON, D.C. 20006 / TELEPHONE (202) 783-1500\nLES S.

In\naddition to the regular contacts from the Congressional Liaison Office\nin Washington, they report considerable imput from our New York head-\nquarters and a growing number of contacts from the Citizens for Nixon\noperation.\nThis subject received considerable attention at the Congressional\nChowder & Marching meeting last week and it has come up several times\nrecently in my conversations with Congressmen, Senators, and members\nof their staffs.\nIt is understandable that various segments of the campaign have friends\non the Hill and there may be good reason why all these sources should be\nutilized. It is not possible to run all approaches to the Hill through\nour Congressional Liaison operation.\nHowever, I anticipate there will be increasing contact in this field\nduring the coming months and we should do something to coordinate this\nand to keep our friends in the Congress from becoming confused over\nthe people they are to deal with on behalf of RN. This is especially\nimportant since we have had numerous meetings arranged by the Congres-\nsional Liaison office here with members of Congress and their AA's in\nwhich we have consistently advised them that the main contact would\ncome through Congressional Liaison. I'd like an opportunity to dis-\ncuss this with the campaign leadership at one of our future strategy\nmeetings.\nFROM: MARTIN E.

Rentschler, Illinois for Nixon State Chairman, made the statement\nin the first of a series of \"frank, pull-no-punches\" reports on urgent Illinois\nproblems and citizen attitudes which Rentschler said the former Vice President has\nasked him to prepare.\nThe initial report, which has been forwarded directly to Nixon, is based on\na fact-finding mission, by Rentschler and two other Nixon aides, to the West and\nSouth Sides of Chicago and on meetings with black leaders.\nRentschler said Nixon has asked him to make additional reports covering a\nwide range of issues and institutions.\n\"After all,\" said Rentschler in explaining the new campaign technique, \"a\nPresidential candidate can't be everywhere at once in this huge and complex land of\nours. He needs eyes and ears and advocates throughout the country. We are simply\ntrying to convey Mr. Nixon's ideas and concern to the citizens of Illinois while\nproviding him with greater insight into their wishes and worries, and with deeper\nunderstanding of their interests.\nAmong the major points in Rentschler's first report were these:\n1. Black leadership in Chicago strongly endorses the concept of \"black\ncapitalism\" spelled out by Nixon in recent speeches. Many black people, however,\nare unaware that Nixon has taken the lead in proposing this approach toward ending\nthe squalor and despair of the ghetto.\n- more -\nADD ONE/ILLINOIS FOR NIXON ORGANIZATION\n2. Black leaders say they and their people want more opportunity to see and\nhear Nixon on their home-grounds. They want to question him directly on his ideas,\napproaches, and specific programs. This is equally true of other Presidental\ncandidates.\n3. The death of Sen. Robert Kennedy has left a void in the black community.\nBlack people are seeking a leader to whom they can turn. Black leaders in Chicago\nfeel Nixon can make significant inroads into the black vote if he can get his views\nacross to black people and convince them of his sincerity and concern.\n4. Militant black leaders feel their people have been used and held in\nvirtual bondage by the Democrat power structure in Chicago. Their overriding\nobjective is to overturn the Daley machine, which they feel has been repressive,\ngiving only lip service to their main aims. They blame the Daley machine for much\nof black Chicago's misery.\n5. Despite their strong anti-Daley bias, many blacks in Chicago have a long-\nstanding, deep-seated prejudice against the Republican party. Many vote Democrat\nby habit and are unable to give cogent reasons for this practice. They profess to\nbe \"open-minded\" at this point and a goodly number probably can be \"converted\" by\nthe right Republican candidate.\n6. Black leaders express the view that Sen. Charles Percy as the Republican\ncandidate for Vice President would significantly increase Nixon's acceptance among\nblack voters. Percy's appearances in Chicago ghetto areas during the spring riots\nand shortly after the assassination of Martin Luther King made a deep impression.\nBy contrast, they note that Daley flew over the burned-out areas in a helicopter.\n7. There is a strong desire among black people to improve and upgrade the\nareas where they now live. This to many is more realistic than the idea of moving\nto the suburbs. Black people want the opportunity to own and manage businesses\nwhere they now live, and they want to know that the better-paying, higher-prestige\n- more -\nADD TWO/ILLINOIS FOR NIXON ORGANIZATION\njobs in these areas are available to them. Despite sometimes deplorable living\nconditions, long-time residents off he West and South sides of Chicago have pride in\nand deep attachment to those areas, and they want to see those areas improved. They\nare not for the most part inclined to move if conditions can be improved significantly\nand soon where they are.\n8. Youth Power, Inc., a not-for-profit private employment service, is\nsponsoring a small plant in the Lawndale area of Chicago which will assemble wall\nbanners picturing black leaders like Dr. King. The plant will employ approximately\n22 teen-agers and is being underwritten by private enterprise. This idea could be\nexpanded both within the Lawndale community and into other areas. Other sound\nconcepts used by the Chicago branch of Youth Power include a \"job fair\" which\nattracted to the ghetto recruiters from 26 companies; a private bus system to trans-\nport ghetto workers to higher-paying jobs in the suburbs; and free employment\ncounseling service for ghetto youths.\n9. Many women receiving public aid who want to work are unable to do so\nbecause of the absence or inadequacy of day-care centers where their children can be\ncared for while they are at work. Reliable day-care centers are desperately needed.\n10. The black community is deeply depressed and disillusioned by promises\nmade and promptly broken by government agencies ranging from the local to the national\nlevel. Many blacks are skeptical of all promises because they have been disappointed\nso often. This is a major factor in the latent bitterness which results in various\nmass disorders and individual lawlessness.\nRentschler was joined on the initial fact-finding mission by Connie Mack\nHiggins, an executive of the First National Bank of Chicago and a Cook County Area\nChairman for Nixon, and by Thomas N. Jacob, a Bloomington attorney.\n- 30 -\nHeleman\nJohn\nhere items are vital\nNIXON FOR PRESIDENT COMMITTEE,\nbadatop\nNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS,\n1726 PENNSYLVANIA AVE., N.W., WASHINGTON, D.C. 20006 783-4201\nHilling\na\nJuly 1, 1968\n7/10/68\nTO:\nRN\nJohn Mitchell\nand\nFROM:\nPat Hillings\nI discussed my new campaign assignment with Bob Haldeman in New York\nlate last week. I am pleased with the mission and I will be available\nfull time, reporting to my New York Headquarters office next Monday.\nI am flying to California tonight to assist Bob Nesen and the California\nCommittee in opening various headquarters around the State and to make\nsure we are off to a good start in establishing our California organi-\nzation.\nMeanwhile, I have given some thought to the new assignment and I suggest\nthe following outline of points which should be covered by the new opera-\ntion:\n1. A daily analysis of statements made by the opposition which means\nHubert Humphrey primarily. We should have access to daily reports\nand I will ship my video tape equipment to New York which we can\nutilize in monitoring opposition telecasts, etc.\n2. We should establish a broader base of intelligence sources on\nCapitol Hill, with the press, and elsewhere. We should endeaver\nto have contacts established within the opposition campaign staff.\nquick\n3. We should have someone (perhaps a friendly member of the press corps)\nwatching HHH on the road and keeping in contact with his staff people.\ngood\n4. I should meet personally with all of the RN state chairmen and have\nsomeone designated in each state to work with us in obtaining state-\nments, letters to the editor, etc. to counter-attack the enemy on\nthe local level.\n5. I have several Congressional staff sources whom I have approached\nconfidentially who have agreed to provide me with daily analysis\nof the opposition activities and who will also help in planting\ncounter-attack statements.\n6. We should develop creative ideas as to statements and ways and means\nof attacking the opposition. I have several ideas in mind as to this\nwhich I will discuss in person.\n7. I would like to keep the staff for this project small especially in\nview of the confidential nature of the assignment. I will need a good\nsecretary who is especially competent in taking dictation and handling\nthe telephone. I also wish to transfer Jean Croft from the Congressional\nLiaison operation in Washington to New York to assist in handling the\nvarious contacts we will be making around the country in view of her\nthirteen years experience in national campaigns and the fact that she\nknows personally many of the people we will be asking for assistance\nand cooperation. In addition to volunteer help from Capitol Hill and\ncertain other sources, we may need at least one additional staff member\nwho has some journalistic ability who could aid us in preparing state-\nments attacking the opposition, letters to the editor, etc.\nThe new office space at 445 Park Avenue will, I hope, allow for at\nleast three people in this operation and I believe it important that\nmy offices be private because of the confidential nature of this\nactivity.\n8. I also understand I am to assist all campaign personnel in strengthen-\ning our contacts with friends around the country and to be especially\nhelpful in certain areas where there is a feeling that there is little\nor no contact with the overall campaign. I consider this assignment\nespecially important as we must develop more enthusiasm for RN all\nacross the country and too many of our friends are constantly complain-\ning that they are not being consulted or don't know what' going on.\nSome of them may not be too important or helpful at this stage but a\nnegative attitude on their part can hurt us. I will be happy to do\neverything I can in this regard.\nIf you need me before I report to your office next Monday, you may reach\nme at any of the following numbers in Los Angeles:\n(213) 385-3048, my Los Angeles law office\n(213) 482-4500, Nixon Los Angeles headquarters\n(213) EL 5-0431, my home\nI am looking forward to working with John Mitchell and the rest of the\nstaff in New York.\nPeter Flanigan\n11 July 1968\nTCH\nUnited Citizens for Nixon\nI must admit that I am relieved that it will not be necessary\nfor no to get. involved with the Citizens operation. Certainly I\nwas not surprised at Mr. Rhyne's reaction, nor, I imagine, was\nBob 21 Ideman. I still believe that the only way I could have been\nof assistance was along the lines I outlined 1n my memorandumto\nYou Mitchell, backed by the full weight of the Boss. However, I\nknew when I drafted the memorandum that this was virtually impossible\nat this stage, although I was hoping for a miracle. Not because\nof any great desire on my part to get involved in this mess, but\nsimply because I regard the Citizens operation as important and I\n1 convinced that there is a very real danger that it will fail\nto accomplish its mission.\nIn a long. rather taotless memorandum to Buchanan dated 9 May,\nwrote that what was needed in the Citizens area was \"someone to\nve the authority to tell some of these people that what they\npropose is a pile of crap, and if they can't come up with something\nbetter, they can pack their bags. We need someone with guts enough\nto say No.\" I went on to observe that 1t was unlikely that this\ncould be done, but that without it the Citizens operation would grow\nincreasingly autonomous and insensitive to coordinated direction\nfrom the national campaign staff. I guess as an organizational purist\nI an appalled at the idea of a claim to operational autonomy when\nthe campaign requires the closest possible degree of coordination.\nDue then there are political considerations, and as I noted to Pat.\n\" Te must simply live with it the best we can\".\nTo live with it I would think consideration should be given.\nto two ideas: (1) formulate specific program requirements to be\nimplemented by Evans, et. al., and (2) circumscribe the role of the\nCitizens operation to those areas where you are satisfied they are\nmaking progress, allocating other campaign requirements to organ-\nizations directly under your control. With regard to the former\nsuggestion, I am willing to help formulate these requirements 11 you\nwish 1f you will pass on whatever information would be helpful.\nI am enclosing two memoranda which I sent to Evans in early\nMay when he first asked my help. To the best of my knowledge,\nneither had much of an impact. However, I think you might see some\nitems which deserve follow-up even at this late date.\nI am, of course, ready to render whatever assistance I can in\nthis area. Please don't hesitate to call upon me. The way I look\nat it, my Job is to do whatever you people feel will be of assistance\nto the Boss's campaign.\n10 July 1968\nMEMORANDOM\nTO:\nPeter Flanigan\nFROM:\nTCH\nSUBJECT: United Citizens For Nixon\nI have not heard from you whether contact has been made with Tom Evans, et.al.\nfor my participation in UNC activities, so I have not made any effort to contact\nTom in this regard. I assume that if you want me to follow up as we discussed last\nweek, you will advise me.\nI have studied the various reports you gave me and must confess that I did\nnot find them to be very helpful. They read like an annual corporate report --\nphrases such as \"reports progress and ambitious plans\". \"fine talents\".\n\"go public in grand style\". .\"a full program under way,\" etc. lack precision\nand provide little in the way of information upon which to evaluate progress to date.\nOn the basis of these reports, I must conclude that -- at the least -- there is a\nserious break-down in communication. Certainly you are not in a position to judge\nor decide upon the basis of information rendered in these reports. More important,\nthis imprecision in reporting and this tendency toward puffing suggest that we\nshould be on guard for imprecision in programming as well.\nIn your Memorandum of Record in re your meeting with Evans and Day on\n19 June 1968, you indicated that several projects were under way for which the\nresults were to be reported to you. I might suggest that you follow up and request\nthe following information in the event you do not now have it:\n(1) Report on the progress of the Nixon Club mailing -- specifically,\n(a) number of clubs organized from mailing, (b) number of members\nAigned up; (c) amount of money returned, (d) cost of mailing to\ndate. Also, number of clubs started not as a result of direct mail\n(by fieldmen, local self-starters, etc.).\n(2) Results of advertisement run in Stars & Stripes; plans for other such\nadvertisements.\n(3) Table of Organization showing assignments, including salaries, by\neach division.\n(4) Weekly report of activities.\n(5) Results to date of doctor's mailing (cost, number of returns, amount\nof money returned, percent of return, profit (or loss).\n(6) Report on steps being taken to restore Nixon Network to original role\nand to meet commitments as promised in initial mailing.\n2.\nI have prepared some notes on likely problem areas which I believe can be\nidentified on the basis of the reports submitted to date. However, I will hold\noff in this regard until I have a chance to discuss them with Tom and to see more\ndetailed programming information.\nI wish to reiterate my position stated last week that I reserve the\nprerogative to decline to become involved in this area of activity if I determine\nthat it is not likely to be successful. Since our meeting, I have talked with\nseveral people who are acquainted with the day to day operations at UHI, and I\nmust say that I am not optimistic that I can be of much direct assistance. How-\never, as I indicated, I am willing to reserve judgment on this point until such\ntime as I have an opportunity to make a determination based upon first-hand\nanalysis of the facts\nget from w\nw\nCONFIDENTIAL\nprepare memo to parter M G.\nmon AM in Calif.\n7/7/68\nSun AM + Sat we\nmay be add Chilichman\n\\\nTo: Happy Harry\nFrom:\nyour choice\nnot worth F coming back\nRE: Weekend Strategy Session\nThe following comes from the Man re: the weekend meeting\nall is based on fact that Finch is coming.\nhave it out there- following week:\nMitchell\nPEOPLE: Mitchell, Finch, Haldeman, Ellsworth, Garment\nin wedding\nthe\nNote: If Ellsworth can't come then Sears is to take\nhis place\nif Garment can't come then Shakespear\nis to take his place.

It will\nbe taken by hand to Walter Reed Hospital as soon as physically\npossible.\nThere it will be turned over to Colonel Hall for personal delivery\nto General Eisenhower, if the doctors will allow it. Bob Schulz\nis standing by for the General's instructions.\nSchulz is in Gettysburg. I have arranged for him to work out with\nTony Jurick how this will be handled with the press to get the\nmaximum publicity. Everyone knows there is extreme urgency.\nNow we can only wait -- and pray.\nOpinion polls this morning suggest to me that the American people may\nhave been swayed by President Johnson's recent order to stop our attacks of\nNorth Vietnam.\nIf that interpretation is correct, I feel an urgent obligation to offer\nthese observations:\nFirst, Richard Nixon deserves the plaudits of the American people for\nhis extraordinarily responsible conduct of his campaign vis-a-vis Vietnam.\nHis outspoken support of the President throughout the campaign in major\nmeasure gave the President the freedom to take his action.\nSecond, even though the President's action, taken just before the\nelection, seemed likely to have political repercussions adverse to his\nown fortunes, Richard Nixon resisted all pressures to challenge the action\non political grounds. In the circumstances, this must have taken extreme\nself-restraint. Again I suggest that all of us should salute Richard\nNixon for it.\nThird, the adversities that have developed in the President's program\nsince the bombing halt was announced have suggested to many people that the\nPresident acted hastily, perhaps seeking to influence the election. But\nagain -- Mr. Nixon withheld criticism. I suggest that this restraint warrants\nnational commendations.\nFinally, only yesterday Richard Nixon, under interrogation on a national\ntelevision program, reiterated his view that the President had acted properly\n-- again he declined to attribute political motivations -- and then he went\nfurther, offering his support of the President and Secretary of State after\nelection to help win the struggle for peace in Vietnam.\nIt would be supreme irony if these statesmanlike positions of Richard\nNixon, maintained despite the greatest provocations, should now be turned\ninto instruments of political injury to him.\nIt would be a miscarriage of justice for the American people to turn to\nhis opponent (1) because of an action the President, not the Vice President,\ntook; (2) because of an action the Nixon restraint made possible; and (3)\nbecause of an action the Vice President's campaign on a number of occasions\nalmost made impossible.\nI believe the American people want fairness. In the Presidency they\nwant responsibility, ability and integraty. And all of us want, in our\nPresident, the character and the decisiveness to stand up to the hard\nproblems that vex our country at home and in the world.\nI reiterate my full support of Richard Nixon on all of these counts.\nI commend him once again to my countrymen as the man best qualified to\nreunify the United States and to win an enduring peace in the world.\nLH: I took care of this, making cards for\nthe following:\nDwight Chapin\nRose Mary Woods\nH.

This would be\nmore acceptable than leaving him in Pittsburgh all afternoon fighting\noff the hacks where we are really going to have a problem; not one\nthat can't be solved but one that will leave considerable bitterness.\nAlso note pages 11 and 12 which shows it is possible for RN to do San Antonio,\nFort Worth, Amarillo and E1 Paso and arrive at the Century Plaza about\n10:45 p.m. PST which will really be 12:45 on his east time zone clock.\nI think thisis pretty rough considering the motorcade the next day.\nOn the other hand he will be going for broke as we come down the stretch.\nPlease let me know your thoughts on Texas.\nNote also on page 10 I show him overnight in Duluth after the Syracuse\nrally with the morning off and a noon rally in Duluth.

C.\nDear Don:\nRecalling your request for a report from time to\ntime on what issues are being most discussed by the people\nback home, I want to pass on one or two impressions picked\nup during a tour through Western Nebraska last week.\nI found a number of persons wondering whether\nDick Nixon will be \"tough on communism.\" While you and I\nwould have imagined that no one could doubt Dick's strong\nanti-communist stand, in view of his outstanding record in\nthe House and Senate and his numerous statements so far in\nthe campaign, I think it would be well if the people in\nNew York reviewed this matter.\nThe concern expressed to me was focused primarily\non subversion in this country, but also reflected an interest\nin \"standing up to the communists\" in our foreign relations.\nI would be interested in what reaction you get to\nthis suggestion.\nWith kind personal regards,\nSincerely,\nRoman L.
