Dear Norm:
I greatly appreciate -
1) your best wishes for success;
2) your report from C. D. Jackson;
3) your agreement to my January 1st return;
4) your report that you did receive
"Six Crises";
5) last, but certainly not least, the
"token of your moral support". I can
assure you it will be put to good use.
Things are looking better every day.
Best regards.

Dear Bob:
I know you were as happy as I was Tuesday night
as the voting results were tabulated indicating
that Republicans (and, we hope, many Democrats)
expressed their desire to have Dick represent
them in California's Gubernatorial election next
November.
You have proven your zeal, enthusiasm, and
leadership ability in directing this primary
campaign--under this same direction I feel sure
we will be able to unite our efforts and go on to
win in November, in spite of the really tough
campaign facing us.
Kindest personal regards.

Dear Bob:
Congratulations on your appointment as manager of Richard
Nixons' 1962 campaign for the Governorship of California. I read this
news with mixed emotions - pleased that this responsibility has been
accorded to you but knowing that it will take you away from some of the
university activities in which you were to play an active roll.
Allison Burleigh told me of your phone call last Friday. Here
is my reaction to the things that you discussed with her. One - I believe
that you should remain on the Public Affairs Committee. It will not meet
so often that it will demand a great deal of time and it is most important
to have a wide variety of talent and know how on this committee.
I agree that you should withdraw as chairman of the UCLA Day
event on May 12. This occurs just a few weeks before the primary elections
and I'm sure it will be a particularly busy period for you.
Sorry that you and Congressman Lipscomb cannot attend our
University Dinner on November 20. You will be pleased to know, however,
that the response to date is very good and the affair should be well attended.
Any Best wishes,

The following is quoted from a letter just received from
Kay Daley. It was addressed to Jim Reynolds and me.
"I want to thank both of you for your thoughtful answers to my
recent "tirade. " Believe me, I feel better just having gotten
my worries off my chest and particularly am grateful that the
two of you, and Mr. Nixon, took time to write to me. I had a
vague feeling that the channels of communication weren't really
open, and believe me, the responses to my letter certainly
disprove that theory!"
I haven't found a suitable frame but am looking.

Mr. Harry R. Haldeman
550 Spoleto Drive
Pacific Palisades, California
Dear Bob:
I've discussed your letter of October 2d with Charlie Rheinstrom, and
he and I agree that it would be in everyone's interest for you to plan on
returning to active duty with JWT on January 1st. We know how demand-
ing an assignment such as yours has been and will be, and you will need
a little decompression chamber treatment before returning to a more
normal schedule of 10 or 12 hours a day.
Charlie Rheinstrom has returned only recently from a visit to our Los
Angeles office, and is most complimentary about the manner in which
it has been moving along under Doc's leadership. He feels sure that
you will be pleased with the strength and morale of the office when you
return.
The reports here concerning Nixon's chances seem mixed, but shading
toward him in recent weeks. C. D. Jackson, publisher of LIFE, talked
to our men's group a week ago, and said that before he went to the Coast
recently he wouldn't have given Nixon a chance, but while there found
that the news reporters (even the egg-head ones) now feel that Nixon is
moving up. I asked him how he viewed the three important gubernatorial
battles. He said he would give odds on Michigan, taken an even bet on
Pennsylvania, and ask for odds on California.
I did receive my copy of "Six Crises" with the wonderful inscription in
it, and it is treasured item in my library. Helen is checking our files
to see if my recollection is correct that I acknowledged it. If I didn't,
I'm horribly remiss and will do something about it.
It was good of you to write, as I have so often wondered how you were
coming along.

Dear Charlie:
I very much appreciated
your letter, and your silent
prayers.
Needless to say, I am very
much looking forward to returning to
J. Walter Thompson in January. I did
want you to know that most of the time
between November 6 and December 31 will be
devoted to cleaning up our records and
files, and closing up the campaign
organization and getting the necessary
projects for the Governor elect under
way.
Sorry we didn't get a chance
to chat when you were in Los Angeles, but
I'm sure I'll be seeing you soon.
Best regards.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

Dear Bob:
I was glad to hear from Norm Strouse that he had received a
letter from you and that you plan to take plenty of time before
returning to J.W.T.
Doc and I talked about you a lot when I was recently in Los
Angeles and we agreed it would make sense for you not to plan
to come back before the first of the year. Once you get back
on the job in Los Angeles, it isn't likely you will have much
time for anything else, at least for a while.
As I told Norm, I am confident that you will find the Los
Angeles office in good shape when you return. There are one
or two personnel problems which Doc may not be able to solve
before January first, but they are not unusual and I don't
think they will cause you any particular difficulty.
If wishing and a little silent prayer once in a while will
do any good, you have them from a great many people who un-
fortunately can't vote in California.
Kindest regards,
Charles A. Kheinstrom
P.S. I purposely didn't try to reach you when I was in Los
Angeles for I realized you were immensely busy and I
didn't want to distract you even a little bit at this
crucial point in the campaign.

Dear Bob:
I appreciate your sending me "The Promise of Adver-
tising" very much and am finding it informative
and thought provoking. Needless to say, I especi-
ally enjoyed the chapter by Norman Strouse.
The announcement of your appointment as manager
of Richard Nixon's 1962 campaign came as a sur-
prise. Nixon is fortunate, I believe, to have
you undertake this tremendous responsibility. No
one is better equipped by experience, resourceful-
ness and enthusiasm, and I am confident that you
will do an outstanding job (and, brother, it sure
is going to be needed!).
You can count on me to do everything possible to
elect Richard Nixon governor of the State of
California.
Sincerely,

As tough as it is, this can be won through hard work and smart planning on
two fronts:
1. organizational and statistical - finding out where the vote is
then getting it delivered to the polls.
2. psychological (propaganda) warfare on the issues and the opponent.
On the first, the PEP and other efforts seem to be going well (from what I
have heard).
There are two phases of this, however, which seem to be of vital (critical)
importance:
1. Getting the maximum GOP vote (the survey indicates that as
of Sept. 1, some- 12% of the registered GOP were going to vote
for RBC, and a more sizeable percentage were, at this time,
not yet decided as to how they would vote on the congressional
race). Obviously, we must get at least 90-95% of the total
GOP vote for our man.
There are several thoughts on how to work at this (in
addition to having Republicans work on Republicans). Records
show that Republicans find it more difficult to cross party
lines than do the Democrats. We must make it even harder
(impossible) for them to cross the line in this election.
a. We should make every effort to get Ike's support
i. try to get him to attend a coffee hour in the
district. (He'll be here in October).
ii. try to get good publicity photos of Ike with
our candidate when he (Ike) is out here in October.
111. try to get a real endorsement letter (specifically
calling for our man's re-election) from Ike.
This could be used in (A) ads and (B) as a mailing
piece to every Republican in the district.
iv. try to get a public statement (to the press) by
Ike calling for our man's re-election.
(Obviously, this will have some good affect on
middle-of-the-road Demos, too.)
Confidential
b. We should try to get Nixon's support, first, and if
not possible, get him (and his people) at the very
least, to lay-off.
1. the next time Nixon 18 in the district, our man
should be there - and Nixon should call for his
re-election. (most preferable)
ii. we should try to get some publicity photos of
Mixon and our man.
iii. we should try to get a letter from Nixon to our
man, supporting him, endorsing his candidacy, etc.
This letter could also be used in the district
(perhape as a mailer to GOP - maybe even on the
back of the sheet which carries the Ike letter).
This, the Nixon support, no doubt will prove extremely
difficult to obtain - and even then must done artfully.
However, there seem to be some obvious pressure points:
a. the congressional delegation (Cubser, Smith, Lipscomb,
Utt, Wilson, Hosmer, et al) might be able to put the
squeeze on him.
b. some of the fat cats might be able to do it - Salvatori,
Earl Adams, etc. (It seems that both Joe Martin, Jr.,
and Cap Veinberger would be major stumbling blocks.)
C. (and only as a last resort) it could be pointed out to
him (Nixon) that his own race 1. in a very precarious
position, that if he drags down our man (and/or others)
they might well drag him down, too. In fact, there
are several Republicans in good standing who are ready
to go all out against him if he fails to support our
man - people from various parts of the State, that 1s.
I want to make it clear this last is the least desirable.
Right now we will get much more out of cooperation and
harmony than vice versa.
And, it now is obvious that our candidate is right
in his desire to have the Nixon name on his precinct
and block signboards, etc. Everything along this line
(with Miller and Groen, as well) which builds a solid
front for the GOP is important.
- 2 -
Confidential
2.
Keeping the Democrat vote split and pulling as much as
possible to us. (The survey indicates that only 49% of the
Democrate prefer - or have decided to vote for - RBC. At
the same time, however, only 6% of the Democrats indicated
a preference for our man.) Thus, we have an opportunity
(we can pull Democrats, as history shows) and a big job
to do.
a. we must continue to build our strength with FOD, etc.
b. we must make inroads in other Democrat areas (can we
get any strong union members to come out for our man?).
C. we must paint our opponent as a man for whom good
Democrats could not vote. (more on this later in this
memo)
There seems to be, as you know, a general split in
Demo ranks. along the Unruh-CDC line. We should be
adroit enough to keep this open - and to make it widen
3. Finding out about COPE activities:
Even though we have requested it several times, we have not
received any information as to just what COPE is doing in the
campaign.
I feel it 1s important that every discreet effort be made to
find out as much as possible about this situation. It may well
be one of the key pieces to completing our victory puzzle. I
suggest:
a. a plant in the COPE operations (or someone who is at
least close enough to the operation to get information
for us).
b. photos of the COPE headquarters, some of the key COPE
people, etc. (we should try to find out if any of the
COPE chiefs are from out of state, if so what state,
what is their background, etc.)
C. perhaps we could locate a union member in good standing
who disagrees with COPE's activities, etc., who would
be willing to aid us (through press statements, formation
of a committee, etc.)
d. as many plant tours and face-to-face meetings with workers
as possible.
- 3 -
Confidential
4.
Building candidate's image with party people
De must find a way to pull at least 90% of our party to our
candidate. Granted, many GOP will swing over in the last
day (maybe even when faced with a decision in the voting
booth). However, we must do everything possible to help them.
We should stress:
i. John's voting record (91% party support, highest
in West, etc.)
ii. elected secretary of the California GOP delegation
iii. elected by freshman GOPers to the policy committee
iv. other party efforts, etc.
Again, we should make ultimate use of the pix of John with
Ike, and other party leaders.
5. Building candidate's image in general
Because of the labelling job which has been done, and its
connotations, we must be exceedingly careful - must avoid at
all costs - any mud-slinging or attacks which have the
slightest taint of smear.
The preliminary results of the motivational research are
showing that the people do not want any mud-slinging. They
will react against the slinger. They want positive, constructive
programs. They are, for example, rather disgusted with the
Nixon-Brown bit on the TV debate which (as they say) has not
helped to solve problems or clarify issues.
Therefore, while waging an aggresive, hard-hitting campaign -
we must be positive, present constructive suggestions and programs
for the best interests of the people and the nation, and - when
referring to the opponents record and mistakes - this must be
done in a "gentlemanly" or objective manner, not snarling,
vindictive or gross.
In addition to the growing public aversion to this mud-slinging
or over-zealous and non-constructive attack in politics, we
must keep in mind:
a. some seem to be expecting it from us because of the
labels affixed to the candidate via JBS (and it will
thus serve to confirm their suspicions).
- 4 -
Confidential
b. the opposition would use such attacks to cry smear,
to build the theme that this is what is to be expected
from the JBS, there's nothing to it except smear, etc.
C. This may be hard to accept but it 18 something which
must be considered. The playback from the public in
the district seems to be quite clear.
d. This does not mean that the candidate cannot be hard-
hitting, aggressive, articulate, etc. - it does mean,
however, that he must hit hard on the issues, on his
record and experience, and on his knowledge of the
problems which are worrying the people, etc.
e. And, in this regard, it would seem very important that
the candidate have some real, positive ACTION programs
on key issues.
Neither does it remove the possibility or opportunity to attack
the candidate's background and record. This can be done if
it is done by a third party - completely removed from our
campaign. FOD or Independent Democrats or regular Democrat
or whatever can have a legitimate reason to come out against
the opponent and state the case against him clearly and bluntly.
Or, perhap a friendly paper in the district,
intent on fulfilling it public trust, ecc., would
make the complete record known to its readers without
any mention of our candidate what-so-ever.
Whacever the course it is important to remember that the
opposition has a judo-like opportunity for using any mears
or attacks to come back to us.
6. Even with these thing: in mind - the need to be careful on the
attack - here are some areas where the opponent 1. vulnerable
and could be hurt: (I am sure there are other areas which
are not listed here)
a. savings and loan deals (might be aired by an attorney,
banker, etc.)
b. industrial asphalt (hit by a former public official,
engineer, etc.)
C. sambling - police record, etc.
d. narcotics voting record (important
e. voting record on HCUA, loyalty oath, etc. (American Legion)
- 5 -
Confidential
f. votes on taxes, budget, etc. (high cost of living)
8. support of the foreign trade bill (cheap foreign
labor VS. American jobs)
h. support of foreign aid (especially to communist countries)
7. Candidate can be sold as a fight for positive, important
programs which are important to and meet with approval of
most constituents:
a. anti-communism (again, rational, logical, positive program)
b. anti-crime and narcotics (pro protection of women and
children)
C. anti-smut, etc. (via mails)
d. anti-high cost of living (taxes, cost of government, etc.)
8.
For every one of the above (plus others, such as education, etc.)
there is a definite, positive side-a constructive alternative:
a. pro-America, pro-peace through strength, etc. (no one
wants war, etc.)
b. pro-protection (keep our women, children, homes safe, etc.)
C. pro-increased take home pay, more and better jobs and job
security, etc.
9.
Finally, while we all realize the very real dangers inherent in
the growth of federal government, we mu. t keep in mind:
a. close to a majority of the people accept and expect a
large role for the federal government
b. it is within that group that we must gain voter: for
November.
Therefore, 1t 1. important to recognize that the federal government
does have certain proper functions - that we all recognize che
need for a good government, that government 1s what we make it ood
and if we want it to be better we should make ure we elect/men
that we can cut out a lot of the fat and waste and cut the CORE
of government while improving its services and functions, that
a lot of the detail can be handled better and more effectively
by governmental agencies closer to home, etc.
- 6 -
Confidential
In other words, don't just attack the federal
government in general. The people won't go
along with you at this time.
10. A word in closing: the Cuban situation is beginning to show
very clearly in the motivational research findings. This
could be an issue.
a. Don't try to pin it on JFK (many people think Ike is
as much to blame).
b. Have a sound, logical, positive action program to
present for a solution (such as blacklisting the
ships which deliver goods to Cuba, etc.).
C. Don't talk about Cuba in the frame of reference of
a shooting war - rather how to remove this threat
so that the danger of war 1s reduced.
d. A positive suggestion for future programs, operations, etc.,
which will prevent other countries (South America, etc.)
from going the way of Cuba (no more Castros).
e. Raise some questions: where was the State Dept., where
was our intelligence service, why do we continue to
make these mistakes, this is our government, I think
we should find out and make sure it doesn't happen
again, etc.

Dear Bob:
I find to my horror that caught up in my brief case filled
with everything imaginable is your December 6 letter, which
long ago I took home with a dictating machine in the
expectation of answering it at once. But, with typical
inefficiency, I got it plowed into my great mass of junk
and it disappeared until now.
Hastily, therefore, and with great ego, I enclose a photo-
graph which I hope is "suitably inscribed" and which I
suggest that you use to frighten little children and to
discourage the honest and faithful from entering public
service!
Seriously, I shall treasure the rest of my life the associa-
tion you and I and the others had in the recent political
effort, and I must say that in some respects I envy your
present work as Campaign Manager for Dick. I say this, know-
ing that you are doubtless head over heels in work and being
bedeviled and harrassed almost beyond words to express. Yet,
it is this kind of activity that does make one realize that
there is great and good work to be done for this free
Republic; people like you make successful functioning of our
country continually possible.
So, may our paths cross again sometime reasonably soon, and
in the meantime would you please give my warm personal greet-
ings to one and all who remember me whether or not kindly!
Sincerely,
C

Dear Bob:
I appreciated ever so much receiving your
note of December 5th. I am very happy to send you the
enclosed photograph.
I had a good talk with Dick when he was in
Portland and I was delighted to learn at that time that
you were going to head up his campaign for him.
I told him and I want you to know that I
stand ready to help in any way I can in connection with
the campaign. He indicated that he might like to have
me come down and discuss some matters in the field of
education and welfare. I would be delighted to do so.
Very sincerely and cordially yours,
Date

Dear Bob:
Thank you for your letter of December 5, 1961. Enclosed
is an autographed photo as requested.
It is gratifying to know you already are organizing campaign
workers for next year's Gubernatorial election. Press reports,
even at this early date, indicate there is a tough battle ahead. How-
ever, with well laid plans and trained workers, I am sure your cam-
paign committee will be capably equipped to meet any challenge.
I am most appreciative of your splendid work in the Win With
Nixon campaign last year.
With aloha and warmest personal regards,
Sincerely yours,

Certainly we all wish you well in what is certain

in how the outcome ought to go.

your request.
Warm regards and good luck.

Dear Bob:
Thank you for your letter dated December 5. I am glad
that you are back in business and am glad, too, that Dick's cam-
paign is in your capable hands. You know, of course, that I will
be happy to do anything I can to help from this distant point.

Dear Bob:
We did miss seeing you in Portland,
but John and Hugh covered wonderfully well for
you and RN did his usual superb job for which
we are indeed grateful.
Your desire for a photograph pleases
me no end and I am delighted to send it along.
I have long ago forgiven you for the puddle-
jumping expedition into Michigan for three
days and nine speeches in which all transporta-
tion connections failed and the weather was at
its worst! But, kidding aside, I shall always
remember the thrill of Chicago, the inspiration
of the Friendship-Indianapolis-Dallas-San
Francisco swing, and many other campaign-
related efforts that fell so slightly short.
I dropped Don Hughes a note when
I learned of his mishap and am glad to read
into his letter a good spirit and ultimate
resumption of duty. When your Girl Friday
has a moment I am interested in knowing the
whereabouts of the principal members of the
VP staff, including especially Jack Sherwood.
This at your leisure.
With every good wish.
Sincerely,
Lmr
