I do not have the list from which you are working, and would very X ! X much like to have a copy. , # File: I am aware of the complaint which we still seem to be getting regarding the length of time which elapses between a request to speak and acknowledg- date ment of the letter. However, we are proceeding, in effect, along the lines which you have suggested; a form letter goes out upon receipt of the request, saying that it is being referred to the Schedule Committee and that the writer will be hearing directly from them in the near Eisenhower appointees future. If you have specific instances of this No. Calif. - Alice Leopold complaint, please let me know so that we can check it through. Without this, it is difficult to ascertain where the system is not working. April 13, 1962 S X X X Dear Joe: 1 I File: The thought RN had on where Phil Ray could help was in the overall area of defense contracts to depressed areas. date R (Ray) As you know, this whole problem of awarding contracts on the basis of unemployment and other local problems rather than on the basis of ability to produce efficiently could become a major Martin (No. Calif.) California issue. RN thought Ray's experience as head of the Committee that looked into that situation might be helpful. I think he and Cap Eisenhower Adm. Personnel should get together and discuss this. Best. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman Mr. Joseph Martin, Jr. 400 Montgomery Street San Francisco, California Alice Leopold 4-13-62 Bob Haldeman Frank Higgins of Hayward, California, is another one suggested as a former member of the Eisenhower Administration who might be helpful as a speaker or issue consultant in the campaign.

It would seem the earlier Phil can be interested, the better it would be for Dick. A word of caution - The approach should be pretty well considered so far as appeal and need. This fellow is a very busy attorney but, I feel, can be prevailed upon to perform in a very useful way. Most sincerely, Feorge George W. Vaughan March 5, 1962 Dear George: Thanks for your note, and for the information about your Kuchel assignment. Glad too to have your comments on Dick's recent visit and his handling of the San Francisco City College meeting. About Phil Ray. Would it be appropriate to have Bill Spencer get in touch with him and discuss, at least in a preliminary way, his thoughts and Ideas in connection with the campaign? It doesn't appear now that either Dick or I will be back up to San Francisco in the immediate future, and I assume we shouldn't walt too long to contact Ray. - Would appreciate your advice on this, George.

Haldeman Campaign Manager Nixon for Governor 3908 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles 5, California Dear Bob: Many thanks for your note of February 23 inquiring about how the Kuchel luncheon game out and what the situation is regarding my participation in his campaign. I declined the invitation to luncheon. I have declined to serve on the finance committee but I have agreed to raise a modest amount of funds. From what I read in the San Francisco press Dick is creating a favorable impression and was particularly adroit in handling an unfriendly element on the campus of San Francisco City College. I have had discussions with my friend, Phil Ray, whom you may remember was a Presidential appointee under Eisen- hower. It might be worthwhile for you or Dick to consider talking with him regarding some of the many ideas he may be able to offer. Jean joins me in sending you and your family all good wishes. Most sincerely, RN 4-13-62 Bob Haldeman Eisenhower Administration people in California Alice Leopold has been working on compiling a list of these people and has already contacted some.
