Give California a decisive Leader!
As Governor of California- -
I pledge:
To bring to California a State Administration that is worthy
of the first and greatest State in the Nation. I will put an end to
rule by clique and crony.
To bring into State Government a team of the best executives
and technicians in the State. And I will kick the second-raters
and political hacks out of Sacramento.
That California will lead the Nation in job opportunities for
all our citizens by creating the best climate for new private
investment of any State in the Union.
An Administration dedicated to attracting new industry-not
an Administration that can be smug when we rank ninth among
the major industrial states in building new plants since the
beginning of 1961.
To replace the spineless, soft-on-crime attitude of the present
Administration with strong, vigorous backing of local enforce-
ment officials.
To wage an all-out campaign to make the homes, streets and
highways of California safe for our citizens.
To cut the costs of State Government so that we can reduce
the tax burden borne by our citizens.
To initiate the most effective State program in the Nation for
fighting communism - a program that will include education, on
the student and adult levels, on both the dangers of communism
and the positive alternatives of freedom.

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
NIXON FOR GOVERNOR
TO:
All WIN Committee Chairmen
FROM:
John Vaughn
SUBJECT:
How to insure the election of Dick Nixon!
DISTRIBUTION: All other WIN Committeemen in your company
First, our appreciation to those of you who took the time to attend the
"kick-off" luncheon on July 27. We hope that you were inspired and
stimulated by the remarks of Dick Nixon, Senator Hiram Fong and others.
To those who were unable to attend this meeting, we will try in this
letter to outline the steps you should take to implement the WIN Program
in your respective companies.
Second, we must tell you how pleased and encouraged we are with the
overwhelming responses we have received from companies such as yours to
the WIN Program idea. Well over 150 of the largest firms in California
have established "contact" individuals or committees representing
several hundred thousand employees. In the days immediately ahead,
these numbers should double. The "machinery" is thus provided and all
that now remains is to make certain that each committee "crank up the
motor" and start down the road that has been charted in the enclosed
"Win With Nixon" leaflet.
Third, although we recognize that each company committee will want to
"tailor" its activities to fit company policy and conditions, we urge
that you adhere to the following as closely as possible:
1. Expand your committee. Enlist additional WIN Volunteers. Try to
get a representative from each department, branch, job classifica-
tion or work unit in your company. (Be sure to send us these names
promptly so they may be added to our master file and so we may mail
to them their official 'WIN VOLUNTEER CARD.)
2. Discuss with the proper official of your company the "ground rules"
he would like you to follow in working with your fellow employees.
We do not want to encourage any activities that would not be in the
best interests of your company and its employees. Certainly the
WIN Program, to achieve maximum results, must be carried out in an
unofficial way without employer participation or pressure. It is
simply a man-to-man, employee-to-employee program designed to seek
out, disseminate and discuss the facts about the candidates and
issues, primarily gubernatorial, in the forthcoming election in
California.
3. Enlist the help of your personnel manager. Perhaps he will under-
take to mail out literature and an appropriate letter from your
committee to all employees, or release the addresses of all employ-
ees to your committee. In either case, you should point out that
such mailings, including the envelope, should not bear the company
name, as we should avoid any semblance of company sponsorship.

4. Now, plan your activities, what you are going to do, how you are
going to do it and when. See the enclosed check-list of sugges-
tions. Choose which things you think would be the most effective
and practical to use with your fellow employees and set up a time-
table for doing them.
5. Now is the time to enlist the help of the Nixon Headquarters Staff.
Within the next few days you will be contacted by phone or in per-
son by one of the Volunteer or staff workers in the Contact Division
He will discuss with you your plans and program, he will see that
you receive whatever quantity of literature, campaign material or
forms you will need, he will try to answer your questions and help
to work out any problems. Briefly, he will be available to assist
your committee in every way possible to build an effective employee
communications program.
6. Finally, we urge you to take the initiative to keep us posted on
your activities. Don't hesitate to ask for help or advice. Phone
Dan Waters, Contact Director, Nixon Headquarters, DUnkirk 5-9161.
With support such as yours in helping to get the message to fellow-
employees, we can all WIN with Nixon!
Sincerely,
John V.Vougher

SUGGESTED WIN COMMITTEE LETTER FOR MAILING TO COMPANY EMPLOYEES
Dear Fellow Employee:
As you are probably aware, a group of us here at
company
have formed a volunteer Nixon For Governor Club. Our aim is to try and
provide information on the candidate and the issues to all fellow employ
ees for their consideration before election day on November 6.
Enclosed is a brochure on Dick Nixon's ideas and philosophies of govern-
ment which we hope you will read carefully. If any of the information
contained in the booklet is not clear, we will be happy to try and
answer any questions you might have. If we don't have the answers, we
will get them for you.
At some time in the next few weeks, Dick Nixon will be in your neighbor-
hood making an appearance at a rally or some other public function. We
hope you will avail yourself of the opportunity of hearing him speak.
All of us here at
company are interested in working
toward the same goal -- that of helping to provide California with the
very best possible state administration, and one that will be able to
develop the 20,000 new jobs needed each month by those people moving
here. We believe Dick Nixon's proposed administration capable of doing
this.
Thank you for your consideration in reading this and the enclosed
material. We hope you will join us on November 6.
