Dear Harvey:
Thanks very much for your note. I have recorded your Spring-
field address and if we do end up in Springfield during the cam-
paign, you can be sure we will be in touch with you.
It was a real pleasure to have you with us during the Convention
in Chicago and needless to say, we all appreciated the tremendous
job you did in ironing out many of our problems.
Thanks very much again, and best regards.

Dear Mr. Ziegler:
Vice President Nixon has sent on to me, your letter of
July 25 in which you suggest the use of your German Band
to campaign with the Vice President in Wisconsin.
At the present time, our campaign schedules are not set,
as I am sure you understand but I think your suggestion
is a very good one. I will be sure that the proper people
are in touch with you as soon as we do have our plans
firmed up for campaigning in Wisconsin.
As to specific tunes, 1 would say that anything in your
regular repertoire would be satisfactory, and I am sure
that this can be left to your good judgment.
Thank you very much for writing and for your interest in
Vice President Nixon, which of course, we all share.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

Dear Leonard:
I never did get the envelope from you while I was at the Blackstone
in Chicago but somehow it caught back up with me in Washington
and was waiting here when I returned from Hawaii this week.
I played the record and think your song is terrific.
I have taken the liberty of turning the music and the record over
to Ted Rogers, who is handling the campaign song business and
I know that he will be getting in touch with you.
Thanks very much for your interest and sending the material along.
I am sure that it will prove very valuable in the campaign ahead.
Sincerely,

Attached is a letter and sheet music and record from Leonard
Keller who is one of the Co-Chairmen of the Miami Beach Republican
Mens Club. He is a former band leader or something and his name
is probably familiar to you, although it isn't to me.
I think the song is good, and if you agree, I think we ought to try and
do something with it or at least give him the goahead so he can do
something with it. In any event, I assume some follow-up will be
carried out.

Thanks very much for the additional elippings. I certainly
appreciate your sending them on. I'm sorry not to have
written you sconer but I went right from the Chicago Con-

I was most interested in your foot-note regarding the im-
provement of Nixon's chances in Texas. This is certainly
good news and I would like to chat with you in the next few
days to get a first-hand report on same.
Again, thanks very much for your thoughtfulness, and best
regards.

Dear Jack:
I assure you that my television appearances in Chicago were
inadvertent and they were not the stepping stones for an acting
career. I intend to return to advertising as quickly as possible.
I can also assure you that the one named Nixon was the Presi-
dential hopeful. not the other one.
I did get a haircut but I got it in Chicago at the Hotel and I can
assure you that their barbers don't know how to do a crewcut.
Seriously, I greatly enjoyed hearing from you and congratulate
you on your judgment in acquiring Judy Wolfson as a Secretary.
I'll be back in L.A. some time after this thing is over and we
can get together at that time, I trust.
Best regards.

Dear Judy:
1 did look through the house organ you sent me a few months
ago and was very pleased to see that you were working for
Jack Douglas. I agree with you that he's quite a guy and I
can imagine you do enjoy the work.
I was much more pleased to get your note clipped on to Jack's
letter in which you indicated you were just as avid a Nixon
supporter as you used to be a Thompson Tiger fan. There is
a great deal you can do in the campaign, and I certainly hope
that your offer of time and support is for real because it can
be put to teriffic use.
I would suggest that you call my mother who is the Southern
California Vice Chairman of the Nixon campaign operation
and who, 1 am sure, will be most happy to put you to work at
whatever you want to do for whatever time you have available.
You can reach her at CRestview 1-9709 and if you will explain
who you are, tell her I had asked you to call
I am sure she
will be most happy to hear from you.
Thanks very much for your note, and best regards.

Dear Joe:
It was indeed a pleasant surprise to hear from you by way of
the U.S. Mail when 1 returned from the Convention and the Hawaiian
campaign.
I completely agree with you on your idea of referring to Kennedy as
the Junior Senator and we had talked about this type of thing already.
I think your idea of covering it in every speech as many times as
possible, is the best way to do it and we will work this through our
Speakers Bureau. It should be very effective.
As far as the Gilbert & Sullivan song is concerned, I am passing
that on to greater minds than mine for their judgment. Personally,
I think it's terrific and would love to have it properly recorded.
I'll get back to you regarding the outcome on this.

Dear Doug:
Thanks very much for your letter of August 2. 1 am sorry to
hear that you found my face in the crowd in the Convention,
since I try to stay in the background as much as possible.
I agree with you that the Acceptance Speech was great and I
can assure you that the campaign will be even more vigorous.
Definite plans for the campaign schedule have not yet been made
and won't be for several waeks. I'm sure the Vice President
will be making some appearances on Long Island during the
campaign but at this point, I don't know exactly where or when.
If we get there before you return to school, I'm sure there will
be a way for you to help and I will be in touch with you to take
advantage of your generous offer.
At this point I can't tell you whether the Dinner with Dick idea
would be possible or not, but I will make sure that it is included
in the scheduling suggestions and considered at the proper time.
Best regards.

Thanks very much for your note and the enclosed newspapers.
I hate to even suggest such a thing, but would it be at all possible
to get another complete file of the papers that you sent. I realise
this is a terrible chore, but if you could do it without too much
trouble, it would be greatly appreciated. Actually, all I need are
the papers for the second, third and fourth. the ones prior to
the visit, or the one copy we now have, will be sufficient.
We, too, felt that the visit was most successful and were cer-
tainly pleased with the tremendous crowd and enthusiasm which
was generated. It was a fitting and exciting way to start off the
campaign and I realise that your work was a great part in assur-
ing its success.
Thanks very much for all of your help. I will be back in touch
with you a little later regarding possible participation in the
campaign.

Campaigning with Vice President Nixon is, indeed, a
tremendous experience and opportunity and I can assure
you that I am enjoying every minute of it.

I know that they will notify the appropriate people in Kansas
so that we can take advantage of your very generous offer.

The enclosed clippings were taken from two Chicago
newspapers and seemed to convey the idea that the
October 15th date at Springfield, Illinois is now
a firm one. If this 1s correct, then October 16th
would be ideal for our Breakfast.
I do not wish to appear to be pressing, and if it
were not for this publicity I would have waited
for word from you in accordance with our under-
P
standing. However, if October 16th is available
it would be well for us to know it as soon as

Thanks very much for your two letters written during the course
of the Republican Convention. I was glad to note your change of
mind in the second letter.
I agree with you on your criticism regarding the continual use of
unnecessary phrases but I'm afraid that, like many things, is going
to be pretty hard to change.
I will be calling you in the next few days regarding plans for the
campaign. At the moment, we're still trying to determine exactly

Best regards.

Dear Bob:
Thanks very much for your note and the enclosed newspapers.
We, too, felt that the visit was most successful and were cer-
tainly pleased with the tremendous crowd and enthusiasm which
was generated. It was a fitting and exciting way to start off the
campaign and I realize that your work was a great part in assur-
ing its success.
Thanks very much for all of your help. I will be back in touch
with you a little later regarding possible participation in the
campaign.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

RE: Alex Troffey
Herb and 1 have agreed that Troffey would best be used with the Rally
Group instead of as an Advance Man. I have discussed this with Troffey
and he, too, is agreeable.
In order to get sprung from Kaiser for the campaign, he needs a letter or
call to Edgar F. Kaiser, President. He suggested this be from RN.
Instead, I would suggest that you either write or call Edgar F. Kaiser,
President, Kaiser Industries Corporation, 300 Lakeside Drive, Oakland
12, California, Phone CRestview 1-2211 and ask that Alex Troffey be made
available on a leave-of-absence basis for the duration of the campaign
to serve on the Vice President's Campaign Staff.
Needless to say, this should be done as quickly as possible like today.
If you send the letter, please send a blind carbon to Alex at the same address
and a blind carbon to me. If you call Kaiser, please have Doris so advise
me immediately after the call is made.
If you don't do either one, please let me know quick so I can salvage
this from some other direction.
because we're in trouble.
