MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Bob Haldeman December 16, 1968 At the request of the President-Elect, there will be a general meeting of the key members of the new White House staff on Thursday, December 19th, at 9:30 a.m. in the Sapphire Room, Second Floor, at the Pierre Hotel. It is essential that you plan to attend. If necessary, please revise any previous commitments that would prohibit you from being present. You should keep the entire morning clear. We will review at this time a number of vitally important policy and procedural matters and will hope to answer any questions you may have regarding the balance of the transition period - and the start-up operations in Washington. Also - for your personal planning - the President-Elect will be in Florida from December 23 until January 1, and in California from January 1 to January 3. This is an excellent opportunity for you to get some vacation time and/or to take care of house-hunting, etc. Our White House staff will operate on a skeleton basis from December 22 through January 5. Unless you have been specifically requested to be on call during that period - please regard it as vacation time. We'll resume full operations on Monday, January 6. Please be sure your office is covered - but try to let as many secretaries as possible get the time off too - especially those who worked through the campaign and will be going to Washington in January.

Basic point - Key staff and cabinet and agency Leads can always see RN when necessary major problem of time management to insure that he can see people as needed fact is - must of the requests for his time and most of the paper directed to him Can better be handled by staff r dept. must preserve his time for the things that really matter Le does not want questions for his decision reduced by staff to lowest common denominator & just submitted for approval for major decisions he wants input from all sides minor decisions should be made at a lower level based on existing policy. we will have to formalize and enforce procedures to greata degree than before but - not to the degree that the system gets in the way of doing the work it's being designed to make it easier - not harder emphasize - can't set nav - will have to evolve Incoming people (appts, mtgs) Objective: Optimum utilization of Pres. time - all appts and mtgs to be completely pre-staffed always at least a briefwritten agenda all possible matters handled by others.

You\nshould keep the entire morning clear.\nWe will review at this time a number of vitally important policy and\nprocedural matters and will hope to answer any questions you may have\nregarding the balance of the transition period - and the start-up operations\nin Washington.\nAlso - for your personal planning - the President-Elect will be in Florida\nfrom December 23 until January 1, and in California from January 1 to\nJanuary 3. This is an excellent opportunity for you to get some vacation\ntime and/or to take care of house-hunting, etc. Our White House staff\nwill operate on a skeleton basis from December 22 through January 5.\nUnless you have been specifically requested to be on call during that\nperiod - please regard it as vacation time. We'll resume full operations\non Monday, January 6. Please be sure your office is covered - but try to\nlet as many secretaries as possible get the time off too - especially those\nwho worked through the campaign and will be going to Washington in\nJanuary.\nHRH/mc\nRN\n12/13\nK\nFile\nget well wine to Struggl\ne\nSulyburger funeral -\nfind out when -\nprobly go slep in last min.\nMcCracken here?\nhim or D Kennedy -phone\nnight away.\nask 2\nTORN\nwritten annount\ntke\nWash man\nSat\nor tomarain old be soud\nch Harlow also keep V.A. \\ act atonce\nlater?
