RE: Anti-communism Voters' League. 1 pg Monday, July 23, 2007 Page 1 of 1 INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM Nixon for Governor file To: Bob Haldeman Date: March 1, 1962 From: Carol Arth Subject: ANTI-COMMUNISM VOTERS' LEAGUE Distribution: Herb Kalmbach, John Kalmbach, Yvonne Smith, Charles Farrington, Sammy, files. For your information, a week from today, Thursday, March 8th, former Congressman, Don Jackson, will hold a press conference to announce the formation of the subject organization. At present, the membership is primarily elected in Los Angeles County. However, Don tells me that they plan to extend the membership to cover the entire state with permanent and staffed headquarters here in Los Angeles. The League will immediately do a general mailing, seeking mem- bers at a nominal membership fee. They do not plan to hold "schools", seminars or large public meetings such as is being done by some of the Anti-communism groups currently operating. THE ADVISORY PANEL will consist of such responsible men as Henry Duque, Willard Keith, and Henry Salvatori. While the Leaguerwill not be a candidate-endorsing organiza- tion as such, when its formation is announced next week, the League will immediately forward to all California candidates for public office the questionnaire containing 12 questions: Among the questions asked will be how the candidate stands on the continuation of the House Un-American Activities Committee, the Senate Internal Security Sub-committee, the loyalty oath, and related queries. Don tells me that those cendidates who do not respond to the questionnaire will be publicized and the League will then place on public record any previous statements made by the candidate which related to the questions. I asked him if one of the questions would regard the FRANCIS INITIATIVE. He said 'no' but that he plans to announce support of the INITIATIVE at the press conference next week. CA:ek
