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.

strive for perfection General - have become a little loose
heed to really sharpen + perfect
philosophy of W.H. staff
read from Patterson memo - old - x 1936
our role is to serve the office of the man
not to do the work of Government.
emphasis always should be to move things
three the WH to the depts + agencies
Bryces point re: power -bc have you know what
be sure nothing goes to the Pres, in any you'rl doung form
personal, paper, phone
that isn't first completely staffed -
morpretion
meaning-chached fr accuracy form
hiendship Fiendove
for lateral coordination
for related material to include
reviewed by competent cognigant staff
afor depts.
that isn't absolutely necessary for the
Pres personal attention
great im portance of staffmembers setting priorities
for their own time Lattention aswellas RNs
don't let people end run you don't let them
use you to end run others.
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.
Follow-up procedure to insure decisions, assignmts
and commitments are carried out.
Procedure:
all than one source - none duect to RN
to insure coordination priorities
& proper pre-staffing
basic route - after decision to see Pres.
first clear three:
Kinsinger - Natl Security
Harlow Congressional
Rose - personal
then to Chapin with complete back up-
asson fr meeting, time needed, engency
who reces t endorses
make clear no requests for appts etc. or
appearances direct to RN - also nojob recs.
Objective ! all mail and other incoming - paperwork others to Pres.
to be completely pre staffed handled by if
possible - to Pres. if necessary but with rec. action
or reply identified +prepared by proper staff n dept.
Incoming paper-
all three one source- - none direct to RN
to insure coordination + recording of
proper pre- staffing
to Draar
external initiation
basic route - after decision to go to Pres.
to my office -
memoriend.
etmail.
checks fa a dequate imput
me
adds related material
Bategories both)
Nati Nativth non sec. (noon
checks for Catual coord.
records - for future follow-up
to Kissinger for - (Nate Sec.)
same process
G to Rose Woods- - (personal) contributors
friends relatives
or to National Comm - (political) - same process
for same process
then to rec. answer must accompany incoming
or to Harlow -Congrassional
re mail to staff people -
should be referred whenever possible
for action
work towards getting everything handled in depts.
exeourage incoming to Pres be addressed to him
not to staff. then can be properly
staffed, logged Y referred.
House keeping
Employees
freeze lists at present level
assume I now have current lists
I'll review salaries etc first week in Jan
Ken Cole has sent out memo of present our staff
they shouldget prinity
wilso have list of WH people who
want to stay - some are very good
let us know if you want es to explore
re recriting for other areas
recs. are still welcome for top people

most of WH. staff will be based in EQB
specific locations of needs will be
