Assemblyman Bob Monagan called re: an RN letter
to Senator Vern Hoffman.
This resulted from conversations in Sacramento
with Bob Haldeman, and Bob said he probably told him to
send a suggested draft - but he does not recall specific
details.
Bob saw the attached before he dashed off this
evening - and saw only one thing to question - which has
been corrected; namely, as dictated it read "I was pleased
to have the opportunity of discussing with you " --
we checked back with Monagan - and he wasn't sure the
conversation with RN took place - that it should be hedged -
hence the opening has been changed. Other than that, Bob
said to send it along to you and if you saw nothing wrong,
to let it go.
One thing, Monagan stressed that Hoffman needed the
letter by Saturday - and asked if it could go out tomorrow
(Thurs.) airmail special delivery.
suggested letter (as dictated over phone by Assemblyman Monagan)
to:
Senator Vern Hoffman
Route 1, Box 200
Acampo, California
Dear Vern:
Your expressions in connection with the problem
of salary and inequities among some of our state employee
classifications have been brought to my attention. I
know there are several different employee groups that
fall into the category of requiring adjustment. The
correctional officers, I agree with you, are in line for
immediate consideration.
I am most interested in the problems of the state
employees and if we are to continue to have dedicated,
hard-working personnel, they must be treated fairly and
equitably. As governor, one of my first acts would be to
review the salary program.
Sincerely,
August 6, 1962
Dear Fred:
Thanks very much for your
letter in connection with the next
CRA Board of Directors meeting
scheduled in Sacramento September 22-23.
We certainly appreciate your
leaving this open insofar as Dick's
appearance is concerned. In all
probability, Fred, he will not be
able to make this one. Campaign activities
at that particular stage will be at fever
pitch, as I am sure you know all too well.
Thanks for posting us, and
very best regards.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

Dear Mr. Peet:
Mr. Nixon appreciated very much your letter of August 11th
and your generous offer of assistance. Since this area
is the direct responsibility of the campaign organization,
he has asked me to reply.
Needless to say, we are most grateful for your thoughtfulness
in writing us. Certainly you could be of real help in the
light of your past activities. At this time, however, our
staff assignments have been completed and because of budget
limitations, we do not anticipate expanding beyond present
limits. Also, as I am sure you will quickly understand and
appreciate, every effort has been made to utilize Californians
in the key spots, most of which now are filled.
I do want to assure you we appreciate receiving offers like
yours, and regret only that it is impossible for us to take
advantage of them.
Again, our thanks for your thoughtful letter.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

Dear Joe:
Thanks for your phone call about Jack
McCarthy and the August 31st meeting. He has
been invited.
While he is here, I'll clarify the travelling
angle so there will be no misunderstanding in this
connection.
On another subject, I have your letter
of August 14th and Mrs. Barbara Dunlap's
unanswered letter. These things are always
regrettable. We are trying now to supplement the
Mail Office staff to correct some of the problems.
Best regards.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

Mrs. Marion Ganong
Charlie Farrington talked with Mrs. Ganong, was
impressed with her and wanted to take advantage of her
availability, having specifically in mind working with
the Speakers Bureau. However, she is too high priced
and we have no way to solve this one.
August 21, 1962
Dear Dick:
I have sent the traffic
safety speech over to our experts.
We will certainly keep
in mind your group is interested in
another assignment. If time permits,
you'll probably hear from us.
Many thanks, Dick. It
looks to me like you have done a
real job - and we're grateful.
Please be sure the background
material is returned as this must be
available.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

Dear AB:
We appreciate your comments on
John Flores.
Dick Nixon saw his memorandum and
was impressed with it.
Flores is now in touch with our
Mexican-American Committee and we are hopeful
his active participation in this area of
activity will be secured, if not along the
lines proposed in his memerandum, at least
to the extent of offering his background,
experience and counsel to the program that is
now under way.
Many thanks, and best regards.
Sincerely,

10% Trust Deed Companies
We do not have access to a list of investors, so
there would be no duplication in anything you can accomplish
along this line.
You might want to get in touch with Mr. Dennison (see
attached memo). He came in to see us in June. I talked
with him just before he went before the Grand Jury. As
Herb's memo indicates, he was completely exonerated.
The man who referred Dennison to us turned out to be a
questionable character, but Dennison himself might be able
to give you some help.

post-election and 1963 speaking invitations
I agree -- the policy has to be more clear-cut. It should be
an RN turndown per your draft letter reply on the basis of
no commitments beyond the election. The Schedule Committee
can then hold for follow-up.
It pays to be cantankerous once in awhile.

get Martin Luther King elected President of the Baptist
Convention in September and then bring him out to California
to campaign for RN.
We discussed this in some detail, and he is going
to pursue further the possibility of Dr. King taking a hand
in the campaign.
We will await further word from Mr. Brown.

While in San Francisco last week, I learned from
Phil Boone that Morton Sidley of KHJ here in Los Angeles
wrote him that he (Sidley) was putting on a big Hollywood
star rally in behalf of RN.
Will you please find out what this is all about?

Dear Earl:
We've made a thorough search for the communication from
Mr. Harrell J. Harrell on the subject of water. We have been
able to find absolutely no record of such a letter ever being
received.
Coincidentally, however, in checking the files, on August 13th
a contribution of $100.00 was received from Mr. Harrell through
Mr. Dana Smith. The information was transmitted to the office
on August 14th and on August 15th, a letter from Dick in
acknowledgment of the contribution went out to Mr. Harrell.
However, this is the only record of anything being received
from Mr. Harrell, whose address is shown as 2621 West Main Street,
Visalia.
I would suggest in this case, as we always do in similar ones,
that it would be helpful if Mr. Harrell could send a duplicate
of his letter, showing the date the original was written. It is
entirely possible this occurred in 1961 when the Nixon mail was at
its heaviest following his return to California. There were,
unfortunately, some instances where letters were lost in the
avalanche. However, it would be interesting to find out exactly
when his letter was written and how it was addressed.
At the moment, the files reveal nothing on Mr. Harrell except his
very recent contribution and Dick's prompt acknowledgment.
Best regards.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

Campaign Song
There is a lot to be said for campaign songs,
but frankly I am of the very definite opinion that if
a song is not consistently plugged, no one ever knows
it - learns the tune, the words or knows what it's all
about.
I am not doubting your musical ear - but
I don't think we have the time or money to devote to
this project -- and to get it across, it would really be
a project.

Dear Earl:
Ray Arbuthmot handed me the note from Bill Jones
which you had passed along to him.
With regard to Frank Seaver's $5,000 contribution to
Dick's campaign, this must have been for the Presidential
campaign since, as you know, he was on the other side
during the primary. I agree he was entitled to more
recognition than a printed receipt, but unfortunately
we had no control over the receipt and handling of
contributions to the Presidential campaign.
I am checking on Harold J. Marrell's letter and will
be sure this is taken care of if indeed we received a
letter from him. I can assure you we are doing everything
possible to avoid this type of thing, and find more and
more that many of these complaints either go back to 1960
or are the figment of the complainant's imagination.
However, please don't hesitate to bring these to our
attention so we can check them out.
Best regards.

While I have covered with you verbally most of the points
listed in your memorandum of July 25th, I will recap present
status herein:
1)
Al Moscow has had the responsibility for the book
project with regard to libraries etc.
2)
Mrs. Virginia Wilson (recommended by Murray) is in
charge of the paperback book distribution project.
25,000 copies have been ordered. Plans for distribution
and follow-up will be handled by Mrs. Wilson and her
committee set up solely for this purpose. They will be
given the recommendations covered in your several
memoranda. We are also going to use the leather bound
version and are developing plans for it.
3)
Distribution of the Reader's Digest article will be set
up according to the recommendations in your memo to
the maximum extent possible; however, part of the
distribution plan outlined in my original proposal will
accomplish some of the goals you have stated, and I do
not think it should be completely abandoned.
4)
Charlie Farrington is in charge of campaign literature.
You have seen several basic pieces which are now in
production. As you know, a number of the other pieces,
i.e. those suggested by Paul Keyes, are also in preparation.
5) Murray Chotiner is responsible for the attack group, and
in this capacity is guiding the activities of Jerry Reynolds
and the investigative arm of the research group; Don Jackson
and use of the McDonald files; Bill Price who is doing
special investigation.
6)
Murray will also take the responsibility for "Free Democrats".
As you know, Kalmbach is not negotiating with Moore. This
is being handled by Nate Jacobs' agency and is completely
separate from the campaign organization.
(2)
7) The responsibility for women's clubs outside of the
Republican Clubs is divided. Ivy Stevens will be
covering the area you suggested for her, i.e. top level
women executives etc., although she tells me her
activity will have to be very limited due to doctor's
orders. My mother is working with a group of the
younger Junior League types, and also bringing the
Lungren types into this activity. Rose is going to talk
to Bea Linville regarding Business & Professional Women.
8) I still don't have the guy to be in charge of the
drive for young executives, but an pushing on this.
9) As far as I can determine, Bill Ross has quit giving us
the needle and our relations at the moment, at least,
are pretty good with Baus & Ross, so don't think we should
take positive steps at this point.
10) We have gone over the master schedule with you.
11) I am revising the priority list of expenditures and will
go over the new draft with you this week.
12) We had an ideal volunteer all set to take charge of
mail, but she had a heart attack the first week on the job.
We are now trying to line up a replacement. Meantime,
Oakley Hunter has agreed to work with Lois on special mail
relating to California political problems and, as you know,
Lichenstein is now able to take on some of the work.
13) We have set up a Schedule Committee for Pat consisting of
Gladys O'Donnell, Pat Hitt, Herb Klein, Rose Woods, Alice
Leopold and myself, with Bessie Newton as secretary and
staff member responsible for Pat's itinerary. This group
is meeting Wednesday.

I need for my own guidance the names of people who
specifically are going to take reponsibility for the following projects:
(1) My book project with regard to libraries and purchases by
individuals like Gainey, et. al. On this one, I admit I will
have to do something but I want to know what you are doing.
(2) The paper back project. What is the plan for distributing
it in California?
(3) What about the Reader's Digest?
(4) Who is in charge of campaign literature? In this field I need
to see the basic literature, particularly with regard to any
statements of mine or positions - just to read it quickly.
What are the plans for literature? Specifically, here, one
thing that I constantly still get questions on is when are we
going to get our issues summary out?
(5) The attack group.
(6) The positive drive for the Democratic votes. In that connection
I am oncerned about having Kalmbach negotiate with More. I
think you ought to get this away from your office and get it in
the hands of some independent group or at least someone more
sophisticated than Kalmbach handling it.
(7) The women's groups. Who is repponsible for these? In the
case of organised women - Gladys O'Dennell is going to handle
that. I am referring to who is going to conduct the drive for
women outside of the Republican Clubs so that we get a real
active, live group particularly among those wives of profes-
sional and business types. the Junior League types, the Lungren
types, etc.
(8) Who is going to be in charge of the drive for young executives
the male opposite number of the women referred to above.
(9) You referred to the fact that Bill Ross was giving us the needle.
The counterattack here is to have one of his clients take him to
task. Give me a report on what you can do on this score.
(10) We really have to see a master schedule for the campaign and I
think we have to see it before we get up to the state convention.
Go forward and prepare a suggested timing for me on this.
(11) Also before we get there I would like to see a priority list with
regard to our expenditures in the campaign sothat we can appraise
our efforts in terms of geographical areas, media, emphasis, etc.

Your memo of 8/6 re: deterioration of prestige
As you know, most of the campaign group --
especially the advertising and P.R. people -- have always agreed
strongly with Leone Baxter's position that we should not lose
the advantage you have of being on a higher level than Brown.
I think this has been reflected in literature, advertising etc.
but not in scheduling for the primary, nor in press releases
and background stories. I think our basic plan for the fall
campaign provides the opportunity for campaigning in a way
that emphasizes our strength rather than further deterioration,
and we will keep this in mind in all planning from here on out.
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Nixon for Governor
CONFIDENTIAL
To:
Bob Haldeman
Date:
August 6, 1962
From:
RN
Subject:
Distribution:
For consideration of your public relations approach and as
effects our literature, color stories, scheduling, etc. I have noted
in looking at polls in depth that one of our major assets is the fact that
I have been Vice President, and that this asset is substantially deteriorating.
One of the reasons for this deterioration is, of course, lapse of time
since holding office.
But from my conversations with several people part of the reason
is due to our own tactics. We have been listening so much to the group
that says as Jim Bassett did a few months ago, "Nixon must forget that
he was ever Vice President and act just like Brown does be a
candidate for Governor.' That has affected everything we do. There is
a subtle problem here which Leone Baxter emphasised to me again when
I saw her in San Francisco. She feels it is vitally important that we not
lose the real advantage 1 have of being on a higher level than Brown from
the standpoint of the offices I have held and the prestige we have had. She
thinks that we have fallen into Brown's trap by trying simply to "do as
Brown does" rather than to campaign in a way that emphasizes our strength.
Kick this around the next time you have a public relations group; bringing
up the subject may help to set some of those right who are making the
same argument that Bassett has made. You might tell them about the polls
in depth to which I referred and see what they can come up with in a way that
we can make use of our asset.
Give me a report at your convenience as to what changes and emphasis
we can make to handle this problem more effectively.

Advertising - McLain's newspaper
GC: Don Frey
Part of Moore's program with the "Free Democrats"
is to work with Senior Citizens. We have investigated the
possibility of advertising in Melain's paper in order to reach
this group. All of the advertising, public relations and
political people with whom I have discussed this feel it would
be a mistake since we would be able to reach only a very
small percentage and essentially it would be those who are
already strongly against us.
It is felt it would be such more productive to direct
our efforts towards those potentially interested in shifting
to us.
McLain's following and his paper's circulation
have dropped off greatly, and while they obviously have some
nuisance value, it is doubtful we can accomplish such in the
way of winning votes from this group.

My general nemorandum covered this subject

key program to rifle shot the Reader's Digest reprint
into key Mexican areas and other heavily Democratic -
Catholic areas. No will also look for other specific
groups who would be potentially against us, but who
might be affected by this piece.
The plans for distribution of the paper
back "Six Crises" will be firmed up immediately. We
will follow the guideline of selling them at 600 or
less, if possible, and will concentrate on those areas
where we can get maximum effect.

This is to confirm my understanding from our last
meeting with RM that you are handling the Democrats
for Nixon program.
This involves lining up immediately a group of key
Democrats to meet with RN next week or the week after
Labor Day, primarily for publicity purposes.
It seems to me this group should include Wayne
Griffin, who appeared on the Telethon, Ed Heavey from San
Francisco and others of this type you feel should be brought
in for this meeting. Cris Wright has several good Negro
Democrats and you will probably want one of them in the
group also.

Dear Leone:
I had hoped to be able to discuss a couple
of things with you when I was there last week, but
there obviously was no opportunity.
I especially wanted to go over one of the
points you raised in your letter of July 12th regarding
your suggestion of a plan to unpopularize Brown in the
Church -- brought in by a group of Catholics. I
wonder if this is anything you would be able to give
me some further thoughts on by mail? If not, we
should try to discuss this at the earliest opportunity.
The Democratic effort by disenchanted
Democrats which you also mentioned is under way and
I think will be very worthwhile.
I know Nick Rune has been in touch with you
regarding your suggestion of a meeting with 12 of the top
people in San Francisco, and I hope this can be worked out.
