C 1 S May 24, 1960 TO: Loie Gaunt FROM: Bob Haldeman RE: New York Trip - Names I'm not sure how many of the following names Don may have already given you or which might have been covered on lists which have come in directly from the cities concerned but I'll cover them here just in case: 1) Kevin Cox Republican Party County Headquarters Ellicott Square Building, Buffalo, New York He is Executive Secretary of the County Committee and handled all the details on the over-all arrangements for Buffalo, including the preparing of the list of names which is supposed to be coming directly to you. I assume the name list will in- clude Senator Cooke who is the County Chairman and was in over- all charge. 2) Edward P. Mattar P. O. Box 186, Niagara Square Station Buffalo, 2, New York He should be thanked for his part in organizing the College group from the University of Buffalo who came out to greet the Vice President at the Airport. The letter should say that the Vice President was sorry his schedule did not permit him to visit the campus while he was there which Mattar had re- quested that he do. 3) Richard Sullivan 401 Plymouth Drive, Syracuse, New York He should be thanked for organizing the group at Syracuse University who came out to greet the Vice President at the Airport. 4) William Petty, Mgr. Auburn Inn, Auburn, New York He should be thanked for the courtesy of the use of his Hotel facilities. I assume the name Everett Dungey will be on Bob White's list of names which he is sending you as well as White's name too in connection with the Taber Dinner. - 2 - I assume that Hughes gave you the name of Alexander Jones who was the one who put together the breakfast in Syracuse. The host at the breakfast was Stephen Rogers who is the publisher of the Syracuse Herald-Journal. The manager of the Statler Hotel in Buffalo is Mr. Thurston and the manager of the Hotel Syracuse is Mr. Wilder, in case you don't already have those names. The letter for the A.M.E. Zion thing should go to Bishop Walls. I have no address on him nor no file on him, but I think that Hughes does, if you don't already have it. Several of Pete Flanigants Nixon Volunteer guys worked on getting groups out to the Airport, I think it would probably be a good idea to send letters to them. As a matter of fact, Ray Blair at Syracuse was included in the list that the Party people are sending you. The fellow in Buffalo is Dick Michaels and he actually is in over-all charge of both Syracuse and Buffalo for this Volunteer operation and Blair worked under him in Syracuse. Dick Michaels' address is 266 Pearl Street, Buffalo, New York. His full name is Richard W. Michaels. 5/11/60 H. R. H. c /s May 11, 1960 TO: Robert G. McCune FROM: H. R. Haldeman Will you please send out immediately by Airmail, Special Delivery, a 24" X 36" black and white photograph of the Vice President to be used at the Taber Testimonial Dinner in Auburn, New York. This should be sent to: Mr. Robert White Taber & White Auburn, New York Also, will you have sent to Mr. White, a glessy reproduction of the Vice President's seal that they can use as artwork for the dinner program. If we don't have a print of this, we should get one, from Don Hughes, I guess. These should go out as quickly as possible, since the dinner is only a little over a week away. They want a black and white picture of RN in the 24" X 36" size to match a picture of Taber which they are using for the dinner. 5/2/60 H. R. H. c/s May 2, 1960 TO: Don Hughes Bob Finch FROM: H. R. Haldeman RE: Buffalo-Auburn-Syracuse trip May I point out a few things in regard to this trip: The actual event takes place in two weeks. None of the stops - Buffalo, Auburn or Syracuse have been advanced. There has been considerable discussion with Buffalo people about various events and they have not been told that there has been a curtailment in the time to be spent or activity in Buffale. In each of the areas, I am afraid the local people are going shead with planning that does not coincide with what we want them to do. Unless I can advance all 3 areas this week which means having decisions by Tuesday on the various stops there is not going to be enough time to properly organize so the crowds, etc., are at least satisfactory. The biggest problem in all of these trips this year has been that the local people have felt very much hampered because of the lack of time they have for local planning after the decisions are made as to what the schedule will be in their area. In my opinion, at least, New York is too important and too sensitive to allow this situation to develop. This is especially true in the areas where we are going this time which are of course, strongholds. I feel it would be very unwise to make any further contact or do any advancing in these areas until we do have a clear decision on what we will and won't do. The area of confusion is already great enough. I hope, therefore, that you will be able to work out an approval or revision of the current schedule with the Boss not later than mid- day Tuesday so that we can get this underway.

Possible Alternates or Additions 1. Farm stop-by. Large farm community in Krie County and Mahoney suggests stop-by or farm meeting if this is right timing for same. Not pushing it - but could net up a good meeting if desired. - 2 - 2. Stop by 6th Assembly District monthly meeting - after Sales Executives Dinner on way to airport. Would be 1500-200 there if knew RN coming. Biggest Republican district in the area. 3. College appearance - University of Buffalo or Canisius (Catholic). Mahoney does not recommend either one - but can be worked out. 4/22/60 H. R.H. C / S April 22, 1960 TO: Don Hughes FROM: Bob Haldeman RE: Buffalo trip I met this morning in your absence with Mr. Robert Cooper of the National Sales Executives International to discuss the general arrangements for the Vice Pres- ident's trip. He cenfirms that the dinner is to be held in the Golden Ball Room of the Statler-Hilton at 7 P.M. The head table is to enter at 7:15. There will be 40 at the head table, divided into two tiers. He proposes a reception prior to the dinner with about 250 in attendance including the officers and directors, national committee chairmen and past presidents of Na- tional Sales Executives. This would also include their wives. I told him that at present, Mrs. Nixon was planning to accompany the Vice President. I told him I would make contact with the Hotel and work out arrangements with them as well as arrangements for Airport arrival and press coverage. 4/19/60 H.R.H. c/s April 19, 1960 TO: Bob Finch Don Hughes FROM: Bob Haldeman RE: Buffalo trip - May 18th I met Saturday, April 16th with Senator Mahoney, Senator Cooke, the County Chairman for Erie County, and two of their associates, Mr. John Sullivan, Administrative Assistant to Mahoney and Mr. Mullen, a former Buffalo newspaper man who is now in the process of moving to Fort Lauderdale. We discussed a number of possibilities for the Vice President in addition to the primary appearance before the Sales Executives' Club the evening of May 18th. I informed the group that it would not be possible for the Vice President to remain overnight the 18th and therefore any activities planned would have to be on the 18th. I do think that if it's possible to do so, we might want to consider going into Buffalo late the night of the 17th 50 as to have a full day in the City on the 18th. Otherwise, I assume with about 3 hours' flying time, it would be impossible to schedule anything prior to a noon event. The other possibilities discussed, and comments on same, were as follows: 1. Press Conference - All agreed that a press conference at the Hotel, as early in the day as possible, was essential. 2. Meeting with Republican leaders - This would be a group of 150 to 200 people and would cover Republican leaders in Erie County only. The group would 80 down as far as Ward and Town chairmen but not any lower and would include all of the top Republican leaders. There is a probability that some of the County chairmen and possibly leaders from other counties, might want to come in, but it was felt this should not be set up on an invitation basis outside of Erie County because of the situation with the State committee. The possibilities here would be a luncheon if we don't arrive until just before noon, or if we can arrive the night before, a coffee and donut session at about 9 o'elock in the morning - either of which would be very satisfactory with the group. 3. Meeting with business leaders - This would be a very select group of approximately 50 top business leaders, and incidentally, con- tributors possibly Wade Stevenson, a prominent local citizen would - 2 - be the host for the luncheon. This session would probably have to be a luncheon and therefore could not be held unless we came in the night before so the Republican Leaders' group could have a breakfast or coffee session in the morning. 4. Meeting with a group of labor leaders - A group of about 50 - 60 Presidents and officers of local labor unions, all of whom would be friendly to the Republicans, could be gathered for a meeting with the Vice President. A suggestion here would be to have this as an informal meeting in the late afternoon for a drink in the suite or a room set up for this purpose. If McDonald gave the word, this group would be increased to approximately 100 by the addition of the Steel Workers. An alternate to this meeting would be a stop by the Bethlehem Steel Plant which they feel would be a very good thing to do if McDonald will set it up in advance with Joe Moloney, the local Steel Workers man. (I do not feel this is feasible and if any labor thing is to be done, it should be the leaders' group in the Hotel). 5. Presentation of flag to parochial grade school - All of this group felt that it would be better from a Catholic angle for the Vice President to present a Capital flag to a parochial grade school rather than have him attempt a Catholic college appearance. The Catholic population is of course, very important in this area. The City of Buffalo is 63% Catholic and Erie County is 58% Catholic. They have two very large grade schools with student bodies of approx- imately 1500 each. One of these schools could be arranged to invite the Vice President to present the flag to them in a ceremony setup which would be attended by students, teachers and parents, conse- quently developing quite a large group. 6. TV Station appearances - There are 3 television stations in Buffalo and the group said if he appeared on any of the stations, he should do all 3 of them. It would be very bad to go on one alone. They felt that television coverage at the press conference would pro- vide adequate material for the stations without any direct appearance on any of them. (I would suggest they consider televising the National Sales Executives' appearance on a pool basis.) 7. Newspaper visits - There are two papers. The Buffalo Evening News is a Republican paper and is very friendly to Nixon; the Courier-Express is at least outwardly neutral. It was suggested that visits be made to both of these papers. (I think the same good could be accomplished by meeting with the key people from the papers in the suite at the Hotel.) 8. College appearances - This group felt that an appearance at either University of Buffalo of Canisius would not be good. Appar- ently both schools have been very much overworked by politicos - - 3 - both national and local and a session at either of them would not be as productive as time spent other ways. Canisius, however, could be considered as an alternate to the Catholic grade school and if the President would put his backing behind an appearance and issue the invitation it was felt that a good turnout would probably result and this might be satisfactory. However, they were not enthusiastic about it. Miscellaneous - there is a large farm community in Erie County which has been pretty much ignored politically and it was felt that if this was the time to get into any meeting with farmers, that a very good farm meeting could be set up. Also, there are 250,000 Polish people in the Buffalo area - all Democrats primarily but this is a strong and cohesive special interest group that might be worth considering. The Airport arrival could have a fairly good crowd if it were in the morning. There would, of course, not be much of any crowd if it were late in the evening. There is a Westinghouse plant right at the airport and arrangements could probably be made to turn the workers out. There is a Twin Coach plant hearby which also could probably be approached. My recommendation for a Buffalo schedule would be as follows: Arrive the night of the 17th and go directly to the Hotel after late arrival, with no appointments or plans for that evening. 9:00 Coffee session with Republican leaders - 150 to 200 10:30 Press Conference 11:00 Meeting with newspaper representatives 12:30 Luncheon with business leaders 2:30 Meeting with other newspaper group 5:00 Meeting with labor leaders 6:30 National Sales Executives' Dinner - televised If we can't get there til noon, I would suggest a luncheon with Republican leaders at noon; preceded, if possible, by a press oon- ference; then the school appearance at 2:30; meeting with labor leaders at 5:00; Sales Executives Director at 6:30. This would omit the meetings with newspaper people and the luncheon with the bus- iness leaders. 5/3/60 H.R.H C S May 3, 1960 TO: Don Hughes FROM: K. R. Haldeman RE:New York Schedule The attached preliminary schedule revision #2 incorporates our latest discussions. There are several points which should be noted: 1) I have discussed the Syracuse Press Club breakfast with Casey Jones and Herb Klein and both agree it would work out and be a good thing. It would be set up with a guest list to include business, labor and civic leaders in addi- tion to the members of the Press Club. They would expect a Q & A by the members of the Press Club from the floor after breakfast was served. 2) You will note there is an hour reserved for staff work from 10:00 to 11:00. This is to delay any departure from Syra- cuse so the arrival time in Buffalowill coincide with a lunch hour when we can expect a maximum crowd at the airport. This time, therefore, is available for use in Syracuse if desired. 3) The 12:15 Buffalo arrival time will have to be checked. It may be we should get in a little earlier or a little later than that. I will confirm this when I advance this later this week. 4) The time from 1:00 to 2:15 at the Hotel in Buffalo, which is now reserved for staff work, could be used for the taping of a panel TV show if this is felt desireable or for a meet- I ing with the newspaper publishers. Herb Klein has recommended both of these activities. The local Buffalo group have rec- comended a meeting with the publishers and would be agreeable to the TV thing but have not pushed it. 5) The Party workers reception would be set for a group of about 250 Party leaders in the Erie County area and would be scheduled for a room of that size. We would, of course, work on including people from other areas too, so as to thake a major demonstration of Party backing. I think the time allowed for this reception is ample but since there are 2-1/2 hours reserved for staff work afterwards, it would work out all right if it did run over. - 2 - 6) The N.S.E. reception arrival time is set for 6:30 because there will be about 250 people at this reception. The bulk of them will leave for the dinner, presumably at 7:00 when it starts, leaving only the head table group to gather, and they will enter the dinner at 7:15. I think we should allow this much time for the reception but it can, of course, be out shorter. 7) I have discussed the above rough outline with Walter Mahonay and he is in agreement that the activities in Buffalo can well be held to a Party workers reception and a large airport greeting. He especially agrees that the parochial school stop should be dropped and is not pushing for inclusion of any of the other meetings which he had originally recommended. 8) All of the above times and specifies will have to be confirmed during an advance this week but I think that on a rough basis, they will work out just about right. P.S. I just talked with Congressman Richlman and he is in full accord with the plan for the Press Club breakfast and also assures me that they will turn out a good crowd at the airport the afternoon before. He thinks the overall plan sounds fine.

I assume the name list will in-\nclude Senator Cooke who is the County Chairman and was in over-\nall charge.\n2) Edward P. Mattar\nP. O. Box 186, Niagara Square Station\nBuffalo, 2, New York\nHe should be thanked for his part in organizing the\nCollege group from the University of Buffalo who came out to\ngreet the Vice President at the Airport. The letter should\nsay that the Vice President was sorry his schedule did not permit\nhim to visit the campus while he was there which Mattar had re-\nquested that he do.\n3) Richard Sullivan\n401 Plymouth Drive,\nSyracuse, New York\nHe should be thanked for organizing the group at Syracuse\nUniversity who came out to greet the Vice President at the\nAirport.\n4) William Petty, Mgr.\nAuburn Inn,\nAuburn, New York\nHe should be thanked for the courtesy of the use of his\nHotel facilities. I assume the name Everett Dungey will be on\nBob White's list of names which he is sending you as well as\nWhite's name too in connection with the Taber Dinner.\n- 2 -\nI assume that Hughes gave you the name of Alexander Jones who was\nthe one who put together the breakfast in Syracuse. The host at\nthe breakfast was Stephen Rogers who is the publisher of the Syracuse\nHerald-Journal.\nThe manager of the Statler Hotel in Buffalo is Mr. Thurston and the\nmanager of the Hotel Syracuse is Mr. Wilder, in case you don't already\nhave those names.\nThe letter for the A.M.E. Zion thing should go to Bishop Walls. I\nhave no address on him nor no file on him, but I think that Hughes\ndoes, if you don't already have it.\nSeveral of Pete Flanigants Nixon Volunteer guys worked on getting\ngroups out to the Airport, I think it would probably be a good\nidea to send letters to them. As a matter of fact, Ray Blair at\nSyracuse was included in the list that the Party people are sending\nyou. The fellow in Buffalo is Dick Michaels and he actually is in\nover-all charge of both Syracuse and Buffalo for this Volunteer\noperation and Blair worked under him in Syracuse.\nDick Michaels' address is 266 Pearl Street, Buffalo, New York. His\nfull name is Richard W. Michaels.\n5/11/60\nH. R. H.\nc /s\nMay 11, 1960\nTO: Robert G. McCune\nFROM: H. R. Haldeman\nWill you please send out immediately by Airmail, Special\nDelivery, a 24\" X 36\" black and white photograph of the\nVice President to be used at the Taber Testimonial Dinner\nin Auburn, New York.\nThis should be sent to: Mr. Robert White\nTaber & White\nAuburn, New York\nAlso, will you have sent to Mr. White, a glessy reproduction\nof the Vice President's seal that they can use as artwork\nfor the dinner program. If we don't have a print of this,\nwe should get one, from Don Hughes, I guess.\nThese should go out as quickly as possible, since the dinner\nis only a little over a week away. They want a black and\nwhite picture of RN in the 24\" X 36\" size to match a picture\nof Taber which they are using for the dinner.\n5/2/60\nH. R. H.\nc/s\nMay 2, 1960\nTO: Don Hughes\nBob Finch\nFROM: H. R. Haldeman\nRE: Buffalo-Auburn-Syracuse trip\nMay I point out a few things in regard to this trip:\nThe actual event takes place in two weeks.\nNone of the stops - Buffalo, Auburn or Syracuse have been advanced.\nThere has been considerable discussion with Buffalo people about\nvarious events and they have not been told that there has been a\ncurtailment in the time to be spent or activity in Buffale.\nIn each of the areas, I am afraid the local people are going shead\nwith planning that does not coincide with what we want them to\ndo.\nUnless I can advance all 3 areas this week which means having\ndecisions by Tuesday on the various stops\nthere\nis\nnot\ngoing\nto\nbe enough time to properly organize so the crowds, etc., are at\nleast satisfactory. The biggest problem in all of these trips\nthis year has been that the local people have felt very much\nhampered because of the lack of time they have for local planning\nafter the decisions are made as to what the schedule will be in\ntheir area.\nIn my opinion, at least, New York is too important and too sensitive\nto allow this situation to develop. This is especially true in the\nareas where we are going this time which are of course, strongholds.\nI feel it would be very unwise to make any further contact or do any\nadvancing in these areas until we do have a clear decision on what\nwe will and won't do. The area of confusion is already great enough.\nI hope, therefore, that you will be able to work out an approval or\nrevision of the current schedule with the Boss not later than mid-\nday Tuesday so that we can get this underway.\nNEW YORK - May 17, 18\nPreliminary Schedule for RN Approval\n3\nTuesday, May 17\n3:00 P.M.\nLV.

R.H.\nC\n/\nS\nApril 22, 1960\nTO: Don Hughes\nFROM: Bob Haldeman\nRE: Buffalo trip\nI met this morning in your absence with Mr. Robert\nCooper of the National Sales Executives International\nto discuss the general arrangements for the Vice Pres-\nident's trip. He cenfirms that the dinner is to be\nheld in the Golden Ball Room of the Statler-Hilton\nat 7 P.M. The head table is to enter at 7:15. There\nwill be 40 at the head table, divided into two tiers.\nHe proposes a reception prior to the dinner with about\n250 in attendance including the officers and directors,\nnational committee chairmen and past presidents of Na-\ntional Sales Executives. This would also include their\nwives.\nI told him that at present, Mrs. Nixon was planning to\naccompany the Vice President. I told him I would make\ncontact with the Hotel and work out arrangements with\nthem as well as arrangements for Airport arrival and\npress coverage.\n4/19/60\nH.R.H.\nc/s\nApril 19, 1960\nTO: Bob Finch\nDon Hughes\nFROM: Bob Haldeman\nRE: Buffalo trip - May 18th\nI met Saturday, April 16th with Senator Mahoney, Senator Cooke,\nthe County Chairman for Erie County, and two of their associates,\nMr. John Sullivan, Administrative Assistant to Mahoney and Mr.\nMullen, a former Buffalo newspaper man who is now in the process\nof moving to Fort Lauderdale.\nWe discussed a number of possibilities for the Vice President in\naddition to the primary appearance before the Sales Executives'\nClub the evening of May 18th. I informed the group that it would\nnot be possible for the Vice President to remain overnight the\n18th and therefore any activities planned would have to be on the\n18th. I do think that if it's possible to do so, we might want\nto consider going into Buffalo late the night of the 17th 50 as\nto have a full day in the City on the 18th. Otherwise, I assume\nwith about 3 hours' flying time, it would be impossible to schedule\nanything prior to a noon event.\nThe other possibilities discussed, and comments on same, were as\nfollows:\n1. Press Conference - All agreed that a press conference at the\nHotel, as early in the day as possible, was essential.\n2. Meeting with Republican leaders - This would be a group of 150\nto 200 people and would cover Republican leaders in Erie County\nonly. The group would 80 down as far as Ward and Town chairmen\nbut not any lower and would include all of the top Republican\nleaders. There is a probability that some of the County chairmen\nand possibly leaders from other counties, might want to come in,\nbut it was felt this should not be set up on an invitation basis\noutside of Erie County because of the situation with the State\ncommittee. The possibilities here would be a luncheon if we don't\narrive until just before noon, or if we can arrive the night before,\na coffee and donut session at about 9 o'elock in the morning - either\nof which would be very satisfactory with the group.\n3. Meeting with business leaders - This would be a very select group\nof approximately 50 top business leaders, and incidentally, con-\ntributors\npossibly Wade Stevenson, a prominent local citizen would\n- 2 -\nbe the host for the luncheon. This session would probably have to\nbe a luncheon and therefore could not be held unless we came in the\nnight before so the Republican Leaders' group could have a breakfast\nor coffee session in the morning.\n4. Meeting with a group of labor leaders - A group of about 50 - 60\nPresidents and officers of local labor unions, all of whom would be\nfriendly to the Republicans, could be gathered for a meeting with\nthe Vice President. A suggestion here would be to have this as an\ninformal meeting in the late afternoon for a drink in the suite or\na room set up for this purpose. If McDonald gave the word, this\ngroup would be increased to approximately 100 by the addition of\nthe Steel Workers.\nAn alternate to this meeting would be a stop by the Bethlehem Steel\nPlant which they feel would be a very good thing to do if McDonald\nwill set it up in advance with Joe Moloney, the local Steel Workers\nman. (I do not feel this is feasible and if any labor thing is to be\ndone, it should be the leaders' group in the Hotel).\n5. Presentation of flag to parochial grade school - All of this\ngroup felt that it would be better from a Catholic angle for the\nVice President to present a Capital flag to a parochial grade school\nrather than have him attempt a Catholic college appearance. The\nCatholic population is of course, very important in this area. The\nCity of Buffalo is 63% Catholic and Erie County is 58% Catholic.\nThey have two very large grade schools with student bodies of approx-\nimately 1500 each. One of these schools could be arranged to invite\nthe Vice President to present the flag to them in a ceremony setup\nwhich would be attended by students, teachers and parents, conse-\nquently developing quite a large group.\n6. TV Station appearances - There are 3 television stations in\nBuffalo and the group said if he appeared on any of the stations,\nhe should do all 3 of them. It would be very bad to go on one alone.\nThey felt that television coverage at the press conference would pro-\nvide adequate material for the stations without any direct appearance\non any of them. (I would suggest they consider televising the National\nSales Executives' appearance on a pool basis.)\n7. Newspaper visits - There are two papers. The Buffalo Evening News\nis a Republican paper and is very friendly to Nixon; the Courier-Express\nis at least outwardly neutral. It was suggested that visits be made\nto both of these papers. (I think the same good could be accomplished\nby meeting with the key people from the papers in the suite at the\nHotel.)\n8. College appearances - This group felt that an appearance at\neither University of Buffalo of Canisius would not be good. Appar-\nently both schools have been very much overworked by politicos -\n- 3 -\nboth national and local and a session at either of them would not\nbe as productive as time spent other ways. Canisius, however,\ncould be considered as an alternate to the Catholic grade school\nand if the President would put his backing behind an appearance\nand issue the invitation it was felt that a good turnout would\nprobably result and this might be satisfactory. However, they\nwere not enthusiastic about it.\nMiscellaneous - there is a large farm community in Erie County\nwhich has been pretty much ignored politically and it was felt\nthat if this was the time to get into any meeting with farmers,\nthat a very good farm meeting could be set up.\nAlso, there are 250,000 Polish people in the Buffalo area - all\nDemocrats primarily but this is a strong and cohesive special\ninterest group that might be worth considering.\nThe Airport arrival could have a fairly good crowd if it were in\nthe morning. There would, of course, not be much of any crowd if\nit were late in the evening. There is a Westinghouse plant right\nat the airport and arrangements could probably be made to turn the\nworkers out. There is a Twin Coach plant hearby which also could\nprobably be approached.\nMy recommendation for a Buffalo schedule would be as follows:\nArrive the night of the 17th and go directly to the Hotel after\nlate arrival, with no appointments or plans for that evening.\n9:00 Coffee session with Republican leaders - 150 to 200\n10:30 Press Conference\n11:00 Meeting with newspaper representatives\n12:30 Luncheon with business leaders\n2:30 Meeting with other newspaper group\n5:00 Meeting with labor leaders\n6:30 National Sales Executives' Dinner - televised\nIf we can't get there til noon, I would suggest a luncheon with\nRepublican leaders at noon; preceded, if possible, by a press oon-\nference; then the school appearance at 2:30; meeting with labor\nleaders at 5:00; Sales Executives Director at 6:30. This would omit\nthe meetings with newspaper people and the luncheon with the bus-\niness leaders.\n5/3/60\nH.R.H\nC\nS\nMay 3, 1960\nTO:\nDon Hughes\nFROM: K. R. Haldeman\nRE:New York Schedule\nThe attached preliminary schedule revision #2 incorporates\nour latest discussions.\nThere are several points which should be noted:\n1) I have discussed the Syracuse Press Club breakfast with\nCasey Jones and Herb Klein and both agree it would work\nout and be a good thing. It would be set up with a guest\nlist to include business, labor and civic leaders in addi-\ntion to the members of the Press Club. They would expect\na Q & A by the members of the Press Club from the floor\nafter breakfast was served.\n2) You will note there is an hour reserved for staff work from\n10:00 to 11:00. This is to delay any departure from Syra-\ncuse so the arrival time in Buffalowill coincide with a\nlunch hour when we can expect a maximum crowd at the airport.\nThis time, therefore, is available for use in Syracuse if\ndesired.\n3) The 12:15 Buffalo arrival time will have to be checked.\nIt may be we should get in a little earlier or a little\nlater than that. I will confirm this when I advance this\nlater this week.\n4) The time from 1:00 to 2:15 at the Hotel in Buffalo, which\nis now reserved for staff work, could be used for the taping\nof a panel TV show if this is felt desireable or for a meet-\nI\ning with the newspaper publishers. Herb Klein has recommended\nboth of these activities. The local Buffalo group have rec-\ncomended a meeting with the publishers and would be agreeable to\nthe TV thing but have not pushed it.\n5) The Party workers reception would be set for a group of about\n250 Party leaders in the Erie County area and would be\nscheduled for a room of that size. We would, of course,\nwork on including people from other areas too, so as to\nthake a major demonstration of Party backing. I think the\ntime allowed for this reception is ample but since there\nare 2-1/2 hours reserved for staff work afterwards, it\nwould work out all right if it did run over.\n- 2 -\n6) The N.S.E. reception arrival time is set for 6:30 because\nthere will be about 250 people at this reception. The bulk\nof them will leave for the dinner, presumably at 7:00 when\nit starts, leaving only the head table group to gather,\nand they will enter the dinner at 7:15. I think we should\nallow this much time for the reception but it can, of course,\nbe out shorter.\n7) I have discussed the above rough outline with Walter Mahonay\nand he is in agreement that the activities in Buffalo can\nwell be held to a Party workers reception and a large airport\ngreeting. He especially agrees that the parochial school\nstop should be dropped and is not pushing for inclusion of\nany of the other meetings which he had originally recommended.\n8) All of the above times and specifies will have to be confirmed\nduring an advance this week but I think that on a rough basis,\nthey will work out just about right.\nP.S. I just talked with Congressman Richlman and he is in full\naccord with the plan for the Press Club breakfast and also assures\nme that they will turn out a good crowd at the airport the afternoon\nbefore. He thinks the overall plan sounds fine."
