Houston, Texas
Dear Jim:
Just wanted to remind you that you had agreed that you would put
down on paper, some of your thoughts regarding our arrangements
and method of operation and send them on to me. I wanted you to
know that I am looking forward to receiving same.
Let me say again that we certainly appreciated the tremendous en-
thusiasm and cooperation on everyone's part while we were in Houston
and the time spent there will be long-remembered by all of us.
Thanks again very much for your personal help. I hope that we will
have an opportunity to get together under more relaxed circumstances
in the future.
Best regards.
Sincerely yours,
H. R. Haldeman

FROM: Bob Haldeman
Thad Hutcheson, State Chairman in Texas, advises me that the
materials which we requested for the Texas State Convention in
San Antonio didn't arrive until Tuesday night. They apparently
were sent Air Express with a bill in excess of $500. If the stuff
was actually shipped on Saturday, I can't understand why it would
not have been delivered until Tuesday night. In any event, it
arrived too late to do any good at the Convention and we, of course,
created a great deal of ill will. first of all by the late arrival, and
secondly and probably more important, by the unnecessary expen-
diture of a tremendous amount of money.
I would appreciate your checking on this and letting me know what
happened and why.

TO: Carol Dawson
FROM: Bob Haldeman
SUBJECT: PRINCETON
While I was Advancing the Houston stop I had the opportunity to have dinner at
the home of Thad Hutcheson, the Republican State Chairman for Texas. He
has a son, Thad Jr., who is starting into his sophomore year at Princeton this
fall.
Young Thad was apparently indrumental in forming a Republican Club at Princeton
last year when he was only a freshman and is very much interested in building
some Republican activity at the University. As you probably know, we're not
in very good shape at Princeton and the faculty, of course, is solidly against
us. After some discussion with Thad, I agreed with him that it would be wiser
not and try and develop a Nixon Club activity at this stage, since the Republican
Club was just getting started. I think that our efforts would be better spent in
trying to solidify and strengthen the Republican Club activity at thi S point. They,
of course, will be for Nixon anyway.
I told Thad I would mention his son to you and that we would certainly do everything
we could to try and provide speakers, materials and any other help that we might
be able to offer him when school opens again in the Fall. Thad's address is:
123 Joline, Princeton, New Jersey.
I have talked with several other Princeton students at various times and I have
the distinct impression that this University is well covered by Democratic
speakers but that there are never any decent Republican speakers appearing
there. I think anything we can do to help Thad early in the school year, to get
one or maybe two top-flight Republican speakers in there, would be very worthwhile.

Mr. Charles Farrington Jr.
512 East Third Street
Scottsdale, Arizona
Dear Charlie :
I too, was disappointed that it didn't work out to provide assign-
ments for the Advance Men group at the Convention, but I am
sure you understand the situation. It is, of course, important
that we keep the Convention open and free and we don't want to
start moving in a huge Nixon operation at this point. Also, most
of the activities and arrangements are in the hands of the National
Committee and the various Convention committees. Since I have
not heard from you regarding Hotel accommodations and since I
have been unable to reach you on the phone, I assume you are not
planning to come. If this should change, please let me know as
quickly as possible.
I have passed your information regarding your father's interest in
making one of the seconding speeches
on to Bob Finch and Len
Hall and I assume that you or your father will hear from them in
due course.
As you know, this is completely out of my area, and I have no idea
what the plans are for the seconding speeches, and of course, I have
nothing to do with any decisions in this regard.
It seems to me you are doing a good job of personal Advance Work
in managing to get yourself some operation in Los Angeles during
the summertime so as to avoid the Arizona heat.
I will be in touch with you as soon as further plans develop. In the
meantime, best regards.
Sincerely yours,
H. R. Haldeman

FROM: Bob Haldeman
SUBJECT: CONVENTION SECONDING SPEECHES
I have had a letter from Charles Farrington Jr., who, as you know, will probably
be working with us as an Advance Man during the campaign.
Charlie says that his father, who will be a delegate from Arizona, has a fervent
desire to give one of the seconding speeches for the Vice President. Charlie realizes
that this is probably an unrealistic desire, but he points out that it might be worth-
while having an Arizona delegate affirm the Arizona state's basic sentiments for
Nixon by seconding the Vice President.
especially in view of the Goldwater sit-
uation. Charlie says his father is acquainted with the Vice President and with Len
Hall, Charlie Halleck and others who will be running the convention. He also points
out that his father was elected as a delegate over the strenuous opposition of some
who considered his pro-Nixon attitude treasonous in the wake of the local stampede
to Barry Goldwater.
Charlie says, however, that his father is simply a realist that believes that Nixon
will make the best president, while Goldwater makes the best Senator.
I, of course, have no knowledge of what the plans are in this regard and am merely
passing this along as information. I do think it would be a good idea if one of you
would drop Charlie a note when you have the opportunity.

Mr. Warren Brock
Brock Ranches
El Centro, California
Dear Warren:
I can only assume that the huge crate of fabulous cantelope which appeared
unannounced at The Alban Towers the other day, was from you.
The reason for the shrewdness of this deduction can be traced to the label
on the crate which identified the contents as "Brock Brand Imperial Valley
Melons".
Needless to say, Jack and Pete and I will greatly enjoy the cantelope and as
you may have heard, the three of us have set up light housekeeping of sorts
at least for breakfast so the melons are especially appreciated.
Things seem to be progressing pretty well here at this point. The campaign
organization is slowly shaping up and I think that eventually we may be ready
to go.
As you probably read in the papers, Dick had an exceptionally successful
trip over this last weekend covering Houston, Sioux Falls, Fargo, Williston,
Minot and St. Louis. You probably read the text of the farm speech in Minot.
I trust it met with your approval. The reception seemed to be very good.
in spite of the fact that the Press had built up a great deal of concern about
the Nixon appearance in Minot. We had a tremendous crowd and they were
very enthusiastic.
The crowds all along the way at all stops were much bigger than we had ex-
pected or hoped for, and also much more enthusiastic. You can't help but
feel after a trip like this that there is really a definite building up of interest
in our candidate and that as he continues to campaign and appear beforethe
people, they will gradually realize that he is the obvious and only choice for
the job.
I am shipping Jo and the kids off to California next Monday to spend the
summer and certainly hope I will be able to maneuver a trip or two out there
between now and Labor Day.
Mr. Warren Brock

June 23, 1960
I am looking forward to seeing you in Chicago in July, although I am not
sure it will be much of an improvement in terms of climate over Imperial
Valley. even at that time of year.
Again, thank you very much for your thoughtfulness in sending the melons,
if indeed it was you who did so. If you didn't, you might as well take the
credit, since there was no card so I can't trace them to anyone else.
The very best to all the Brock clan.

I am certainly sorry that I didn't get a chance to answer your letter prior
to my return to Houston.
I am sure we will both agree that the Texas Press Association ban quet
was a great success. I did want you to know how much I appreciated your
sending me tear sheets from your paper, and I am certainly in complete
agreement with you and Bill Bogart on the views expressed in your edit-
orials.
I very much enjoyed meeting you, even though briefly, on both the recent
visits to Houston and look forward to the opportunity of seeing you again
under more relaxed circumstances at some point in the future.
Again, thank you very much for your good wishes and for sending on the

felt the Texas donors should concentrate on in providing financial support

After some discussion on this point, you told the group that you would

Dear Ned:
I am sending you a Convention hotel reservation application
which should be completed by you immediately and sent to the
Committee on Housing in Chicago. Your deposit must be in-
cluded with the form. You will note a specific room has been
assigned to you and the form is already identified as part of
the Nixon party, so all you need to fill in is the number of days
you will be at the Convention and your arrival and departure
times.
Needless to say, it's important that you get this in as quickly
as possible.
I look forward to seeing you in Chicago.
Best regards.

RE: CHICAGO CONVENTION
Per your request, I have made an assignment of one of the Advance
Men to attend to Mrs. Frank Nixon during the period of the Convention.
John Whitaker has agreed to do this and I personally feel he will do an
excellent job and is very well suited for this assignment.
If there is any adverse feeling on your part or that of anyone else con-
cerned, please let me know right away so I can make the necessary
change.

Mr. Moyer, Resident Manager
Hotel Blackstone
Chicago, Illinois
Dear Mr. Moyer:
I would appreciate it very much if you would send me a written confirmation
of my reservations and those for John Ehrlichman for the Convention.
As best I can determine at this point, we will both be arriving on July 23rd
and staying until approximately the 31st.
As we originally requested, we will need two twin-bedded rooms since both
Mrs. Haldeman and Mrs. Ehrlichman will be accompanying us. Also, as you
know, we would like to be located in some other part of the Hotel than that oc-
cupied by the Vice President's immediate party.
These two reservations are for our personal use and we will both be involved
in staff activities for the Vice President so you may see our names appearing
on some other room requirements in addition to the ones I have requested
directly. This does not mean the other request will take care of our personal
needs and therefore I want to be sure that you are holding the two rooms for us
as we requested some months ago.
Thanks very much for taking care of this. I will look forward to hearing regard-
ing confirmation. I am certainly looking forward to seeing you and the rest of
the Blackstone gang in a couple of weeks.
Best regards.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

Dear Nob:
After our phone conversation yesterday I did some checking and
found that Charlie McWhorter is in charge of all arrangements as
far as the Vice President's own staff is concerned for the Convention.
Charlie tells me that we are planning to have only a very small staff
group and official party at the Convention and much as he would like
to be able to put you to work, he does not have anything specific in
mind that he can come up with at this time.
I would suggest that you get in touch with your contacts in either the
State organization or the National Committee and make your Conven-
tion arrangements through them. As you can well imagine, any direct
participation by the Vice President's staff is, of necessity, very much
limited and there is not a lot we can do to take advantage of your offer.
Thanks very much for contacting us, however, and please be sure to
check in in Chicago. I will look forward to seeing you.
Best regards.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

Dear Chuck:
I am sorry I missed your phone calls last week, but as you
know, I've been out of town most of the time. I did receive
your wire and was interested to learn you had accepted the
post with Auchincloss.
As the campaign organization is now set up, I have no re-
sponsibility for any activity at this point other than the actual
Nixon travels. As I told you when we talked some time ago,
the areas of activity in which you might be most interested,
are those under the direction of Pete Flanigan. Since appar-
ently nothing has worked out there, I would strongly suggest
you go ahead and plan to work with George Vetter in New York.
Thanks very much for your interest and we will, of course,
greatly value your help in the New York area which is going
tobe of primary importance in the over-all ampaign results.
Best regards.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman
