NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10036
PHONE (212) 661-6400
GRAND SUMMARY
1. Nixon and Humphrsy have high, about about equal, familiarity among
voters. Kennedy and Reagan have less familiarity, but still to
a high degree. Wallace is well known in all states. Percy is
less well known. Connally and Ford are not well known.
2. Among Republican Vice-Presidential candidates, Percy is judged by
more respondents to be best qualified to assume the Presidency.
3. In a two-way heat with Humphrey, Nixon wins Illinois, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Missouri, and Georgia; theyn Die in Michigan and California;
Humphrey wins in Texas.
4. In a three-way heat with Humphrey and Wallace, Nixonlwins in Illinois
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Missouri: Humphrey wins ion Michigan,
California, and Texas: Wallace wins in Georgia.
5. Among Reagan, Percy, and Ford, Percy emerges as the most useful
running mate for winning the most states, although Reagan adds
marginal strength ikn some states and loses marginal strength in
dothers. There appears to be no advantage in choosing :Ford.
6. Against Humphrey-Conaally, and with Percy as running mate, Nixon
wins Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Missouri: Humphrey
wins California and Texas: Wallace wins Georgia.
7. Against Humphrey-Kennedy, with Percy as running mate, Nixon wins
only Illinois, and loses other states to Humphrey and Wallace.
THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FUNCTION OF THE KEENEDY NAME.
8. k A Reagan candidacyh apparently does not substantially deteriorate
the Wallace vote.

in about the same degree.
b. Kennedy Iruns just slightly behind Nixon and Humphrey in familiar
except in Georgia.

more than half of the pespondents except in Georgia. His famili
ity is higher than anyone else's in California.
a. Percy is not well known outside of Illinois (where hei outscores
Reagan, Wallace, and Kennedy. Percy is well known by about
one-third of the respondents in all states but Texasand Georgia
where this drops to one-fourth.
e. Connally and Fordx have low familiarity in all states but their
own home states. Even in their home states they are less well
known than Nixon, Humphrey, Wallace, and Kennedy,
f. In all states Wallace has high familiarity among more than half
of the respondents, scoring highest in Ohio, California, and
Georgia.

GRAND SUMMARY
Analysis of Wallace supporters.
1. When Wallace voters are forced into a two-way heat, Nixon captures more
Wallace voters than Humphrey. Most of those who would vote for Nixon in
a two-way heat are Independents, but there are subssantial numbers of
Republicans and Democrats as well.
2. Defection to Wallace is heavy in Georgia (22-54% of all party groups).
In the six northern states under study, 9% of the Democrats defect to
Wallace, 5% of the Republicans, and 18% of the Independents.
3. The Wallace vote is predominantly male. This is not true of the Nixon
and Humphrey votes.

SUBJECT:
RN Schedule
One type of activity which should be dispensed with is
doing film clips for payroll savings, bond drives which are to be used for
small corporate meetings as distinguished from clips which will be used on
national TV.
My general policy is that we should limit statèments of
this kind in any event even when they are on national TV.
But under
no circumstances should my time be used to film something like this for
a small, select group, even if the cause is important. I don't care what
the past procedure has been. In the future use Agnew or the Secretary of
the Treasury or some other appropriate Cabinet officer.
I want a complete re-evaluation of all activities of this
type and I do not want them in the future to be committed for me without
my express approval. For years I ha ve felt that the President has been
over -burdened with this kind of activity and the time to make significant
changes is right now. I want you and Ehrlichman to watch these things very
carefully and wherever possible address them to Agnew or something-
somebody else.
January 3, 1969
MEMORANDUM
TO:
John Ehrlichman
FROM:
RN
In considering my schedule for the first six months after
the Inauguration, I have concluded that some drastic changes in existing
policy with regard to state visits as well as to customs covering White
House dinners must be made if I am to have the time available which
I consider absolutely essential to devote to major decisions which I
must make in that period.
Unless we get ahold of the schedule now I will be
swamped with state visits, the usual customary White House dinners
for domestic purposes, not to mention the Congressional and Senatorial
appointments which will be flooding us during that period. A memorandum
from Bob Murphy on December 24 indicates that 15 visits of foreign
dignitaries are tentatively scheduled in the first three months of the
new Administration, from March to June. By comparison, Eisenhower
received only six foreign dignitaries in his first six months in office,
Kennedy 18 and Johnson 21. In other words, if we continue at the pace
suggested we will have 30 in our first six months. I am enclosing the
December 24 Murphy memo with the backup information supporting the
requests for including these visitors in the schedule.
- 2 -
Under the circumstances, I have decided that the
following procedure will be in order, regardless of whether the visitor
is a head of state or head of government and regardless of whether the
visit is described as a state visit, an official visit, or a private visit.
1. I shall always be willing to have a talk with any
visitor who is head of government or head of state.
2. Where the visitor is a head of state I will have a
dinner for him.
3. Where the visitor is a head of government I will
have either a dinner or a lunch for him, depending
upon the recommendation made by State.
4. Even where the visit is a so-called private one,
I will be willing to have a lunch if State recommends it.
5. But under no circumstances, regardless of the
character of the visit, will I go to a return dinner
or luncheon or reception of any kind which is put on
by the foreign visitor. I realize that this will break
some china in State, but it is time to make this shift
of policy now and to carry it out in the future. This
decision, incidentally, is not subject to further
discussion. I have made up my mind and I have
considered all the factors involved.
Even if I limit myself in this way the burden will be
enormous. Johnson told me that he had exactly 200 visits by foreign
dignitaries during his 5 years as President. This means that at the
- 3
same pace I will have 400 occasions in which I have to spend a miserable
three hours in an evening, or two and a half hours at lunch, entertaining
some foreign visitor. I realize this is necessary from a protocal
standpoint, but at least we can knock off the tradition of the President
going to return dinners, luncheons or receptions which simply doubles
the load. In fact, my decision in this respect goes even further. I do
not intend to attend any function given by a foreign embassy outside the
White House during the time I am in office. If there is a meeting of the
OAS or a meeting of the United Nations or a meeting of NATO or
something of that character I will, of course, attend. But as far as
single embassy's are concerned, I will not attend.
I have discussed this in preliminary form with Bill
Rogers, and I believe he will agree with this decision. The problem
he will have, of course, is to see that this boys down the line don't
get ulcers trying to implement it.
Wherever it is possible to get a foreign visitor to settle
for a good hour or two hour talk on substantive issues instead of putting
me through the agony of a dinner or luncheon I will gladly make the
exchange. I realize, of course, that this will generally not be possible
since the courtesy of a White House dinner or luncheon is now expected
by all foreign visitors.
With further reference to my schedule, I do not want to
have the usual dinners which the President gives for the Vice President,
for the Supreme Court, for the Cabinet, etc. I would suggest that you
check to see what these dinners are and establish the new policy
- 4 -
immediately. I will take care of the Supreme Court, the Vice President
and the Cabinet officers by inviting them to the dinners I will necessarily
have to give for foreign heads of state.
With regard to Congressmen and Senators, I think it is
essential that you have a talk with Bryce Harlow and set up some sort
of priority with him immediately. It will not be possible for me to have
individual meetings with individual Senators or Congressmen -- except
for those in leadership positions or Chairmen of key committees. That
means that the likes of Jack Miller, Javits, Allot et al can only be seen
when they are part of a larger group. In addition, I prefer that such
meetings be in the office for a period of time rather than for a meal or
for drinks at the White House. Only when Bryce believes that drinks
or a meal are absolutely essential to get the work done should such
affairs be scheduled. The thing to do is to simply tell Congressmen and
Senators that I prefer to talk substantive business and lay it on that way.
I think most of them will be complimented if it is presented to them that
way. The way we handle them as far as White House dinners and
luncheons are concerned, again, is to include them as guests at the
dinners and luncheons for foreign dignitaries. Incidentally, where
dinners and luncheons for foreign dignitaries are scheduled, it is
probably best to include wives, unless it is absolutely clear that some
substantive talk of value might take place after the dinner.
With regard to both luncheons and dinners, I want the
number of courses held to an absolute minimum. Make the meals very
good, but very short.

FROM:

I had a talk with Haldeman with regard to my own
schedule after January 20. Presently, I am planning to get to the
office fairly early and stay without a break until five o'clock.
I am going to avoid lunches which take my time wherever possible.
At 5 o'clock I will take off for a quick swim and possibly a rub
down and will be available for receptions around 6:30.
For guidance in my schedule planning, if it is determined
that a meal is necessary I think the best one to plan is breakfast.
If, for example, we have a group of Congressmen who have to come in
have them for breakfast at 8 o'clock and try to get them out of there
by 9:30 at the very latest. Lunch takes two times as much time as
breakfast and dinner takes three times as much time. Consequently,
we will save time if we can schedule breakfasts.
I am not keen on having Congressmen and Senators and
others in for cocktails. I know many of them like this, but I am not
sure this is the best way to do business with them. Where at all possible
the cocktail drill should be avoided. If one is scheduled, it should never
be scheduled before 6:30. This will give me an hour for the meeting and
will leave an hour before a formal dinner if we have one. As far as
formal dinners are concerned, I want them to start around 8:30 rather
than 8:00. This will reduce the amount of time I will have to be there.
