I have made an appointment for you in Detroit at the
Statler Hotel at 5:00 Monday afternoon with Mr. James

a friend of his to do some survey work. Mr. McEvoy has
requested an appointment with you to discuss this. He
will not be bringing the other fellow along.
Mr. McEvoy will check earlier in the day to confirm this

RE: Presentations at Detroit reception
The Polish presentation will be a resolution passed by a
group of Polish and other ethnic leaders in Detroit which
will be written out and ornamented for a presentation to
the Vice-President. This will be done by the editor and
publisher of the Polish Daily News, a group of Polish
clergymen and some other ethnic leaders.
The Negro presentation will be made by Miss Bernice Edwards,
Secretary of the Republican Committee of Detroit. She is
also a member of the Board of Catholic Inter-Racial Council -
Detroit Chapter. This Council has an award for service to
God and Country which will be presented to the Vice-President.
It is a statuette. The name of the award is the Blessed Martin
Award. Martin will apparently be the first Negro saint,
assuming that he 1s sainted.

February 13, 1960
TO: Don Hughes
FROM: Bob Haldeman
We have arranged to have the Vice-President have a picture
taken of the Congressional candidate from the 11th Congress-
ional District in California when he arrives at the Stockton
Airport next week. The candidate's name is Clifford Bull,
and arrangements have been made with his campaign manager,
George Creighton in Lodi.
TO: Charles Perrington Jr.
John Ehrlichman
FROM: Bob Haldeman
The purpose of this memorandum is to put down for you some points that ought
to be checked when you do your re-advances in the various cities on the
California itinerary.
For your general information, ve have sent a number of people into the Cal-
ifornia area for certain specific purposes. Among these is Tod Rogers who
is going to be handling actual production arrangements for television in
both Fresno and Ban Francisco, Ted is an old friend of the Vice-President's,
who has worked with us in earlier campaigns in this same capacity. John
Hamlin from Washington has contacted a number of people on the stop to get
some background information to be used in preparing material for the Vice-
President's speech. Peter Key 1a a newspapermen from San Diego who has
covered mostof the stops personally, checking on background color material
again for use in remarks at speeches.
We were also very concerned last week, and the Vice-President was especially
concerned by the problem of making this trip completely non-political with
two exceptions - those being the reception in Stockton and the reception
in San Francisco. All the other events must be of a non-political and
civie or community nature. Thus we have changed sponsorship of several of
the events and worked out other means of taking them out of the political
area. This, however, creates the problem of getting a crowd to each of
the public things. In order to meet this,we have sent Doll Smith into
Fresno and Ban Francisco and Sacramento to work on crowd-building at the
airport arrivals on each of these three places and also the public receptions
in Sacramento and San Francisco. Doll is B former executive secretary of
the National Young Republican Federation and has worked with us in other
campaigns in this erowd-grouping area. He has been contacting various
young peoples organizations and that kind of thing to make sure there are
lots of people out - all of course, under non-politionl banner. In essence,
he has been encouraging public participation in the various events that 350
open to the public. Please be sure on each of your re-advances to contact
the Secret Service and fill them in on the schedule as included with this
memo. You will note this schedule is, in many ways, a revision from earlier
schedules and we have made so many changes during the last couple of weeks
that I'm not sure what the Secret Service is aware of and what they aren't.
Newt Stearns tells no that Whittacker & Baxter will advance each of the
stops and Newt himself will advance Fresno and Secremento which will 00-
incide with Farrington's activities. Mike Abramson will advance San Fran-
cisco and Stockton which will coincide with John's activities.
We will probably have protty near 15 traveling press with us, It will thus
be necessary, in each stop, to arrange transportation and hotel rooms for
a press group of this size. As you know, their hotel rooms should be
- 2 -
on a different floor from those of the Vice-President's party. In most
cases, we have arranged 2 care for traveling press. If we have a group
of 15, we will need 4 cars 80 I think you will have to add 2 more cars
to the transportation lineup. I will confirm by phone the actual number
as soonas I know,
It is absolutely essential that you get in advance of the arrival of the
Vioe-President's party - a complete list of names, addresses and activity
of all the people who participated in any way in the Vice-President's
visit. This should include the drivers and donors of all the cars,
the committee people handling any part of the arrangements, all the people
participating in the program, the directors of bands, and that type of
thing, the names of people who read the invocation, sing the Star Spengled
Benner ... in other words, everybody who has any remote connection with
the event. Be sure the list gives their full name, their sccurate address
and a sufficiently detailed description of what they did so a proper thank-
you letter can be prepared.
In the area of press arrengements, be sure that there 1s at each stop
a man assigned by the local committee as a press non to handle the working
arrangements with the working press group - especially those in our
traveling press. In this connection, be sure there are specifically re-
served seats for our traveling pross at every event also that there 10
adequate provision for food for the traveling press and for the staff at
each meal stop. Where we are in Hotels, be sure there 10 a work room where
the traveling press can put their typewriters on tables and work on their
stories.
John - in the case of the tolecasts at KQED, be sure there is a room where
the traveling press can watch the program on a closed circuit. Also,I
an not suro if we have a press room at the st. Francis but that should
be checked out.
In the Hotels where we step for any appreciable amount of time, it is
necessary that there be an IBM Electric typewriter a stand in the room
we are using for the office or for Rose Woods. Also, in setting up hotel
arrangements, be sure that all members of the staff are pre-registered and
the keys are in the doors of their rooms prior to our arrival. the press
should be pre-registered and keys held at the desk in envelopes in their
names. In this connection, I'll call you with the names of the traveling
press as soon as I have them.
For all the meetings where the Vice-President is speaking, be sure that
arrangements have been made for a tape-recording that will be turned over
to either you or no at the end of the meeting. It 1s essential that we
pick up this tape ourselves as soon as the speech ends. This includes
all prese conferences. In addition to the tape,it will be necessary to
have the looal committee arrange to have a Court Reporter or other com-
ptent Stenotypist cover each major meeting and record the speech and send
the transcript to Herb Klein in the Vice-President's office within 48
hours after the event. Be sure and check the lecturn or podium that they
plan to use and see 10 has adequate lighting on it, end that the microphone
setup is such that we won't have any mile problems. betts Remember that in pross
⑉⑈6
Anim
- 3 .
On the airport arrivals we should be sure to have 8. microphone available
since if Doll Smith does his work . there will be a huge crowd at each
of them, but it should not be in evidence. It should be tucked away
somewhere and ready to pull out if he wants to use it to address the
crowd. There should definitely not be any platform or any other obvious
preparation for a speech or anything that indicates we are expecting a
big crowd. It is important that in each of these airport arrivals the
crowd appear to be a tremendous surprise to all of us. Don't let this
hold you back on doing anything you think of to make sure it 1a a big
crowd, however.
On each stop,re-check the schedules and timing if you will, please and
go over the master schedule which is attached, with the local people so
that we are all in agreement on what we plan to do and when we plan to
do it.
Charlie - the Secremento breakfast, you will note, has been changed from
8:00 to 7:30 - that's the breakfast with the State legislators. Un-
fortunately the invitations have already gone out saying 8:00 but the
plan is to send a wire to each of the people who accept, telling them
that because of the transportation problem into Squaw Valley, the break-
fast has been moved up to 7:30. Will you please check to be sure this
has been done.
Also, Charlie - I think we better arrange a suite for the Nixons in the
Californian Notel in Freeno, since they will go direct to the Californian
from the Rainbow Ballroom luncheon and night want B. place to rest for a
few minutes before they start the events at the Californian.
I will be in Detroit all day Monday at the Statler Hotel. The phone no.
is Woodward 3-6000. I will also be there Monday night so if you have any
problems, call the Hotel and if you can't reach me, leave word and I'll
call you back. I'll leave Detroit Tuesday morning and fly to Reno via
Chicago and San Prancisco; hence will be in the air most of the day Tues-
day, hoping to end up in Squaw Valley Tuesday ovening. I don't yet know
where I'll be or how I can be contacted there, but as soon as I find out,
I'll lot you know.
Best regards and good luck.

RE: Vice President's daily schedule
Because a number of the people here in the Washington Bldg.
office are talking to or moeting with people who have appoint-
ments with the Vice President when they are in town, it would
be most helpful to us to have & copy of the Vice President's
daily appointment schedule.
As I understand 1t, you have one schedule that lists the appoint-
ments that you release to the press, or at least make available
to the press. Would it be possible to have a copy of that schedule
sent over to us each morning on our first measenger run? If so,
it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

FROM: Bob Haldeman
RE: Luncheon with Alice Leopold
I had lunch with Alice last Thursday, February 25 e at her re-
quest, to cover several subjects. The first of these was an
anniversary celebration that the Womens Bureau of the Depart-
ment of Labor is scheduling to commemorate their 40th anniver-
eary in June of this year. The major activity will be a two-
day conference, June 10 and 11, attended by some 1,000 women,
representative of all actions, parties, etc. across the country.
The Post Office Department 18 issuing & commemorative stamp
to tie in with this conference. Alice would like to have the
Vice President address the conference at whatever time and on
whatever topic he feels he would prefer. Her suggestion is
on the last afternoon of the conference e Friday, June 11 (at
which time the program will be concentrating on women in inter-
national affairs) Alice suggested the Vice-President make some
remarks regarding that subject during that afternoon program.
Another possibility would be the keynots address which would be
delivered Thursday morning to open the conference.
The overall theme of this meeting is The Role of Women in a Free
Society and Patterns.for the Future. I an sure the Boss will be
approached from other sources regarding this appearance, but I
think Alice wanted to make the original invitation. It is appar-
ently her conference, and she is spending & great deal of time
working on the setup for same.
The second topic she discussed was the possibility of her gathering
together 6. group of women in an advisory capacity - perhaps 6 or
8 women from around the country, representing various interests,
that might spend a day or two in general discussion of how best
to reach women with the message that the Vice President may want
to convey to women around the country in the coming months. This
she visualizes as a workshop session and would be purely to dis-
cuse the techniques and needs of reaching women most effectively.
I think that she also would be most happy to expand this into
a more general seminar on what women are thinking about the var-
ious issues and what appeals would be of most interest to them,
Third - Alice is speaking at a conference of the National Assoc-
intion of Women in Radio and Television in April. This of course,
1s one of a number of speeches that she is making all the time,
- 2 -
and ahe would be most happy to carry the Vice President's
message to this group in any form we see fit. She showed me
some elippings from the Kansas City Star covering a speech
she made in Topeka not long ago - to a group of Republican
women in which her whole topic was The Vice President and
his eminent qualifications for leading the country.
I think that Alice is probably R. very effective speaker and
probably also a good organiser and she 18 apparently now
willing and anxious to help in any way that she can. It
would seem therefore, to be wise to decide what ways her
services could be of most value and to let her know.
She and her husband AID taking & two-week vacation at pres-
ent, so will not be back in Weshington until week after next.

Dear Charlie:
I received your letter and expense account this morning. We
will send you a check immediately covering the expenses.
I agree with you that the general outcome of the various ac-
tivities was completely satisfactory and I can assure you
that both the Vice President and Pat were vary much pleased
with the "trip".
As I told you, we are not planning very many trips between
now and convention, although I'm sure more will crop up as
time goos on. We will, however, schedule a meeting of the
advance men here in Washington . probably within the next
couple of wooks and as soon as a definite date in set, I
will let you know.
Thanks very much for the tremendous job you did. We sure
appreciate your help. I look forward to seeing you before
very long here in Washington.
Best regards.
