Dr. Edward A. Meyers
216 Eagle Street
Englewood, New Jersey
Dear Dr. Meyers:
I want to thank you very much for your letter of August 12th
offering your services as a physician to Vice President Nixon
for any two-week period during the campaign.
At the time that Ned Sullivan called me regarding the possi-
bility of your offering your services, we were still not settled
on exactly what plans would be made for a physician on the
campaign tour. It has since developed that the Vice President
has asked the three physicians from Long Beach, California
who have shared this chore for past campaigns to join the group
again and they have indicated their desire and willingness to do
so.
It therefore appears that we are all set as far as a travelling
physician is concerned and will therefore not be able to take
advantage of your most generous offer. I will, however, send
your letter on to the Vice President and should any changes occur
in our plans, we will certainly be in touch with you.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

Dear Ed:
Thanks so much for your letter. I too, was sorry to have
missed you during the Convention. Some time I hope I can
have the details on your trip around the world.
There was some discussion of your name in connection with
security work with the Vice Presidential candidate prior to
Convention and I had intended to recommend strongly that
you be approached regarding this assignment.
However, after Ambassador Lodge was nominated, it developed
that he had some thoughts in this regard and he and his staff
workede out an arrangement with another man to take over this
area of his campaign and of course I was not able at that point
to interfere.
We certainly appreciate your interest and sorry it didn't work
out that we could get together. When we get to Chicago during
the campaign 1 trust there will be an opportunity to at least say
hello and perhaps to work together.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

Mr. and Mrs. James Cummins
Ponus Road
New Canaan, Connecticut
Dear Barbara and Jim:
Thanks very much for your telegram.
I'm sorry to be so long in replying but ever since the Conven-
tion we've kind of been running around the country on an in-and-
out basis, as you have probably read in the papers and I haven't
been here in Washington long enough at any one time to get
caught up on the backlog.
If you are really interested in helping in the campaign, I'm sure
there is a great deal you can do in the New Cansan area to assure
our carrying Fairfield County, which in turn should help materially
in getting Connecticut back in the Republican column.
I would suggest you contact either local Republican Headquarters
or track down the Nixon club operation in that area and offer your
services to them. There is a tremendous amount to be done in
the way of registering voters, contacting potential workers, or-
ganising telephone committees, etc and every bit of help really
counts.
As you may have heard from mother, she is extremely active in
this area out in Los Angeles working on the telephone blits opera-
tion which is one of the vital parts of our overall campaign effort.
Again, thanks so much for your very thoughtful wire and very best
regards.
Sincerely,

RE: ILLINOIS
Walter O'Brien, the chairman of the Country-Town Association
in the Chicago area has, or will seek an appointment with the
two of you on the 29th to discuss his proposed Captains Dinner
and RN's attendance at same.
By way of background, you should know, if you don't already
that the Country-Town group comprises the solidly Republican
area on the fringes of metropolitan Chicago. It is probably the
key to our success in Illinois in that we will be pretty safe down-
state and pretty well lost in the city of Chicago and the balance of
power lies in O'Brien's area.
He has been very cooperative with us on the past visits and at
least deserves a fair hearing for his proposition. I have a fedding
we won't have much of a chance to do the dinner but I think we
should encourage O'Brien in every way possible.
Thank you.

RE: Trip Mail
This will summarise our discussions and understanding regarding
the processing of trip mail on all future Nixon trips.
Lists of names and addresses of all personnel in the local area who
were connected with the arrangements and preparations and execution
of plans for the Nixon visit will be prepared as completely as possible
and transmitted directly to the trip mail office. some in advance of
the visit and the balance immediately upon completion of the visit.
It is understood that a standard letter will be sent to all people so
listed.
There will, of course, be some letters for each visit that will have
to be prepared on an individual basis and notes for guidance on same
plus names and addresses will be provided to the mail division by
either Don Hughes or myself immediately upon the conclusion of each
stop on the tour.
We ampreparing forms for the Advance Men to distribute to the local
committees to insure thorough and prompt execution of this plan.
If the above does not concur with your thoughts, please let me know
immediately.
August 24, 1960
TO: Pete Flanigan
FROM: Bob Haldeman
A couple of suggestions that were passed on from my family
as a result of both Mother and Dad's work with Nixon clubs
in Southern California
First, a thought that it would be a good idea to have some sort
of specialized insignia made available only to Volunteers who
are actually working in a Volunteer headquarters perhaps
one insignia at the time they're signed up and another one when
they've completed a minimum job.
Also, the idea of sending a personal letter from RN to all the .
qualified for full membership as an incentive to keep up their work.
Also, apparently the chairman of the Beverly Hills club spoke at
their recent meeting about the great amount of mail he is receiving
from manufacturers of Nixon buttons and campaign literature but
he made no reference to having received Nixon Club instructions
or copies of Dick's speeches on key issues from headquarters.
This probably arises because he really hasn't looked through his
mail.
This gives rise to the suggestion that Nixon Club mailings be sent
to all members of the Executive Committee of each club rather than
just the chairman, so there is less chance of any particular item
being overlooked.
1 pass all of these thoughts on to you without comment for your eval-
untion and possible action.

TO: Jack Sherwood
FROM: Bob Haldeman
RE: ADVANCE MEN
The Advance Men's Instructions now suggest that they arrange a separate car
for the Advance Man to use during their period of the Vice President's visit
in order to arrive at each destination ahead of the general group.
We have suggested that where possible, they use a police car with police driver,
preferably a marked car that has a radio on the same frequency as the security
car in the motorcade and equipped with siren and red light.
Do you have any objection to this ?
From our viewpoint, it will be much more satisfactory than trying to use a private
car, and of course we will not insist on this, but wherever the police are willing
to make it available, it should work out very well for us.
Let me know if you have any thoughts.

RE: Insurance coverage
Finch asked me during a recent trip, to check on the general insurance coverage
carried by the National Committee for travelling staff and press during the period
of the campaign.
Apparently it has been customary for the committee to carry some sort of blanket
policy and we are assuming they will do so this time but this should be checked.
Do you want me to contact the committee regarding this, and If so. whom should
I see, or would you prefer to do this?
blankst
If you are making the contact, I would also like to know what. If any. coverage
they have for Advance Men and other people traveling independently of the campaign
tour itself.

RE: Advance Mem's Salaries
This memo will confirm our previous discussions regarding the payment of
salaries to several of the Advance Men.
It is my understanding that salaries will be paid OR a monthly basis for the
month of September and October. R is of course, understood, that these men
will be working for a period of time in August and November for which they will
not be paid.
The men to whom salaries should be paid, their Social Security numbers, exemptions
and salary rate are listed below:
1)
Stanley Lothridge
568-22-9050
1 exemption
$1, 000 per month
2)
Robert McCune
505-26-8869
1 exemption
*
3)
John Ehrlichman
545-40-4064
7 exemptions
*
4)
Thomas Pownall
235-20-1348
4 exemptions
1, 500 per month
5)
Robert Krill
203-22-8653
1 exemption
650 per month
* Both of these people are currently on the payroll and I'm not sure what their
rate is, but assume your records show this.
There may be possibly one more addition to this list which I will send on to you very
shortly.
Thank you very much.

RE: TOM SEDLAR
I have Mary Costello's note of August 24th regading the phone
call you received on this man from Douglas Allen.
I don't know Douglas Allen or who he is.
It is my understanding that Tom Sedlar has been recruited by
the Rally Group of Nixon Volunteers to work with them. Any
phone call to his company, therefore, should be from Charlie
Rhyne or Pete Flanigan rather than from you and I have passed
this message on to Dick McCabe at Nixon Volunteers who is co-
ordinating the Rally Group operation.
I think you can drop the matter, as I am sure they will pick it
up over there.

The Hon. L. C. Arends, M. C.,
House of Representatives
Washington, D. C.
Dear Congressman Arends:
Thank you for your letter of August 29th regarding Mr. Norman
A. Anderson.
Up to now I have not heard anything from Mr. Anderson.
I am taking the liberty of sending your letter, together with
a carbon of my reply, to Captain Pat Gray of the Vice Pres-
ident's Campaign Staff, since Captain Gray is responsible for
campaign personnel.
If a letter from Mr. Anderson does come to our office, I will
have it forwarded on to Captain Gray for his consideration.
You can be sure that we will afford Mr. Anderson every possible
consideration and we certainly appreciate your bringing his name
to our attention.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

Dear Earl:
Thanks very much for your note regarding the Atlanta-Birmingham
trip. It was indeed a tremendous success.
I did not see the one-column story concerning the Press Corps re-
ception which you mentioned. If you have a clipping of it, I would
appreciate your sending it on.
I understand from Bob Finch that he has some other assignment for
you in the campaign and therefore you are not going to be available
for Advance work. I of course, regret this, but know that you will
be pleased and will find the spot that suits you better than our opera-
tion.
Best regards.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

RE: ALBAN TOWERS' BILLS
My most recent bill from the Alban Towers included the following
items which, to my knowledge, do not apply to me:
White
August 17
$ 10.30
Richards
August 22
5.45
Alberti
August 20
318.24
Reavis
August 23
53.19
Since I don't have supporting bills for any of these charges, I assume
you have taken them and you are paying them. Will you please advise
me if this is the case so I can clear up my account with the Hotel.
Thank you.

Memorandum
To:
Bob Finch
From:
RN
In determining what kind of introduction should be made of
me at large rallies prior to appearances, particularly where
television is involved, I want you to look again at the introduction
that Commander Burke of the Amvets gave to me when I got
this peace award in Washington. He used big still pictures on
a screen of the riot in South America, the reception in Poland,
standing up to Kruschev and the like with commentary. It was
extremely effective and real 1y brought the house down. Something
of this nature might be worked up -- suggested and used for our
more important rallies. Put one of your public relations people
from the volunteers on this and have them check it out.
