Tuesday, August 28, 2007 Page 5 of 5 UNO AND FLORENCE SANDVIK RANCHO CONTENTO Workers add SOLVANG, CALIFORNIA October 12, 1961 Dear Mr. Klein: Although we do not have your address, we are hoping this letter will reach you. You will remember our participation in the '60 campaign for our area - Uno was chairman and I helped him - we had an organization the like of which was never before seen in this valley and a headquarters known to many throughout this State - and other States. We were given the use of a building owned by Mr. G. Gifford Davidge - situated on Highway 150 in the town of Solvang where tourists throng - and we had a spotlight on a large sign every evening from 6 pm to 11 pm. Uno and I were charter members of the County Nixon-for-President Committee and worked from March to November - first from our home and later during the Nixon-Lodge Camp- aign from the headquarters in Solvang. I might say that the reason for this was an intense motivation to do what we could in what, by a deep inner conviction, we believed was a crucial period in our country's history - a turning point. And after studying all the candidates - even regardless of party - we believed that of them all, Mr. Nixon had achieved the most self-mastery in life - vital then, as we still believe, the survival of our form of government was and is at stake. We believe we can be of help to Mr. Nixon in the campaign for governor of California - if he cares to UNO AND FLORENCE SANDVIK -2- RANCHO CONTENTO SOLVANG, CALIFORNIA accept our assistance. We wanted nothing during the '60 campaign and we want nothing now. We only wish to do our part for our country. We are not politicians and in the past have not engaged in such activities, but we are not devoid of experience in life and have some talent for organization. Uno is a Swede of Finland and a naturalised citizen - he came to America as a boy - is personable and I may say that I know of no one in this valley who could have done what he did in obtaining committee members for the Nixon- for-President Committee of which he was chairman. We worked quietly from our home and before anyone knew what was happen- ing, we had some 130 members. Later we grew to about 215 members. As for me, except for an English grandfather who came to the United States when a boy - went whaling - came around the Horn in '49 to San Francisco and who founded the Pacific Coast Steamship line of coastal vessels of which Senator George Perkins was a later partner - my other for- bears came to Massachusetts in 1620 - were first settlers on the Rappahannock - naturally this will explain a certain rugged American individualism that is ingrained in me. I love my country. Now for practical ideas. Mr. Shell was here during the summer - entertained at a Republican luncheon at the "Red Barn" in Santa Ynez. He made a favorable impression. He has a following that is increasing. The new President of our local Republican Women is for him in the primary. I have heard that William McKillop who was the Republican Candidate for State Senator in '60 is for him. Mr. Shell wrote to ask UNO AND FLORENCE SANDVIK -3- RANCHO CONTENTO SOLVANG, CALIFORNIA Uno and me to be on his committee. We thanked him but said we were offering our support to Mr. Nixon. We have saved left over material from the campaign and have the lists of names of those who were on the Nixon side. Unfortunately, some of them are already lined up for Mr. Shell. And, although I know that Mr. Nixon thinks much about timing, we believe that no time should be lost to contact the others before they commit themselves elsewhere. (The Democrats have been ringing doorbells in their money drive). Also, we have $40.00 in the local bank for Mr. Nixon - we finished in the black. The building used for headquarters last year is still vacant - the rent is high and it is for sale - SO it is still empty. If someone could see Mr. Davidge - he is well known in the Republican party of Los Angeles - he might let the building be made available - a very important location on a much traveled road. I should like to talk more with you on these matters. At the moment, as you can understand, despite our readiness to be of use, we can do little until directed and authorized by Mr. Nixon - in which case we can do much. And time is of the essence. Hoping this will reach you, the Very dorause sincerely, Sanding S mou present frome hr. fell November 21, 1961 Mr. and Mrs. Uno Sandvik Rancho Contento Solvang, California Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sandvik: Sandvik, Mr. and Mrs. Uno I have your letter of October 12 addressed to Mr. Herb Klein concerning your participation in the Nixon for Governor Campaign. On the basis of your outstanding participation in the 1960 Presidential Campaign, we certainly want to take advantage of your kind offer to help out again this year. As you can imagine, we are very heavily engaged at this point in setting up the basic campaign organizational structure for our headquarters. As soon as this is completed, we will be ready to start setting up an organization through- out the state and will at that time contact you regarding plans for Solvang. In the meantime, please hang on to the campaign X - HRH - A tion materials and name lists which you have from 1960 as these Subj: Offers to help will, of course. be most helpful in the coming year. I hope you will feel free to let me know if you have any immediate thoughts on steps that should be taken other than exploring the availability of your headquarters building. I will see that someone contacts Mr. Davidge regarding this as soon as possible. Thank you very much for wishing and for your interest in the campaign. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman HRH:ss Loie Gaunt February 1, 1962 Bob Haldeman Jerd Sullivan Lois - Scraping through the barrel of notes from the recent San Francisco trip, I find that RN tried to call Jerd Sullivan at the Crocker Bank, but did not talk with him. I placed the call and got Sullivan who said he was in a meeting and thus unable to talk, and suggested we try to call later. We did try later, but by then the bank was closed. Sullivan should probably have a note from RN saying be had hoped to chat with him, but will try again. File: - Mail - Memos to Loie x-S X - Chron. February 1, 1962 Mr. W. A. Stamper McCulloch Corporation 6101 West Century Boulevard \ Los Angeles 45, California Dear Bill: You were nice to take time to write me. Needless to say, we are glad to have your report and opinions on the meeting last week. I appreciate too the generous praise of our staff here, and will certainly pass your compliments along. They will, I know, be gratefully received. Best regards, Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman File - Schedule X - Stamper X - Chron. January 30, 1962 Honorable H. Allen Smith Room 1406 New House Office Building Washington 25, D.C. Dear Al: Just a note to let you know that Dick's February schedule includes two appearances in your district. On February 11th he will be at the Westminster Presbyterian Church for a Negro Church Reception in Pasadena, and on February 13th, he will be attending the Brito Benefit Dinner at the Huntington-Sheraton Hotel in Pasadena. I expect to be in Washington on Monday, February 5th, and hope it will be possible to spend a few minutes with you at that time so that we can establish a direct procedure for notification and clearance for Dick's activities in your district. Meantime, very best regards. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman File: Legislative Liaison X S MEMO THOMAS E. SMITH FROM THE DESK OF January 26, 1962 Dear Bob: Even if this is last year's copy it might come in handy. It has some key names in it. have Sincerely, Tom XX AERONUTRONIC DIVISION OF FordMotorBompany January 30, 1962 Dear Tom: Many thanks for providing us with the Los Angeles Area Business Directory. It certainly will come in handy. I enjoyed our visit here in the office the other day. Serry to miss your telephone call this afternoon, but did not return in time to call you back. Best regards. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman Mr. Thomas E. Smith Aeronutronic Ford Road Newport Beach, California / File: S X Chron January 29, 1962 S Mrs. Clyde W. Stolp Program Chairman Escondido Republican Women's Club P.O. Box 923 Escondido, California Dear Mrs. Stolp: This will follow up your recent correspondence with Mr. Nixon regarding your kind invitation to him to address an evening meeting of the Escondido Republican Women's Club sometime in March. I regretfully must tell you that the efforts of the Schedule Committee to clear a March date on his calendar when he could visit Escondido have not been successful. Consequently, he will not have the pleasure of accepting the very cordial invitation you have extended. However, we will be in touch with you again when we visit the Escondido area sometime during the campaign and look forward to meeting with your members then. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman HRH:jr January 29, 1962 S Mr. O. B. Sholders General Chairman American Society of Civil Engineers Sholders, Tanner, Marquardt & Associates, Inc. 650 South Escondido Boulevard Escondido, California Dear Mr. Sholders: This will confirm your recent telephone conversation with Mrs. Rollins of our office in which we had to regretfully turn down your kind in- vitation to Mr. Nixon to address the Pacific Southwest Council Conven- tion of the American Society of Civil Engineers in San Diego In April. Unfortunately, we have had to make a firm rule that Mr. Nixon not accept speaking engagements for national and regional conventions. We recognize that in many cases, and certainly this is true in yours, the audience will include very substantial and important groups of Califor- nians. However, if we deviate from the rule once, we have no basis upon which to stick to it on other occasions. Thank you again for your invitation, and we regret our answer must be as it is. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman HRH:jr January 29, 1962 S Mr. Rod Spangenberg 2845 Marconi Avenue Sacramento, California Dear Mr. Spangenberg: This is to follow up your previous exchange of corres- pondence with Mr. Nixon regarding your kind invitation to him to address the Augustana Lutheran Churchmen of California in Sacramento on May 19th. Much as he would like to participate in your annual spring banquet, he must reluctantly decline as his schedule for that date is fully committed. Again, you may be sure that ne would like to accept your cordial invitation and is extremely sorry that a prior commitment makes this impossible. We very much appreciate your thoughtful invitation. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman HRH:jr January 26, 1962 S Mr. Robert Siemer, President Stanford Area Young Republicans 802 Stern Hall Stanford, California Dear Mr. Siemer: To follow up your previous exchange of correspondence with Mr. Nixon, this is an interim report to tell you that it has not been possible up to this time for the Schedule Committee to clear a date on his calendar for a visit to Stanford University. Also, I want to take this opportunity to assure you that the Stanford Area Young Republicans would certainly be contacted and included in the arrangements for any such occasion it might be possible to work into his schedule later on. In the meantime, I know that Mr. Nixon would want me to extend his very best wishes to you and the membership of your Club. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman HRH:jr 1/22 Per Sammy Shell's agency --- Walker, Sausse 1717 N. Highland HO 3-5161 CROSS REFERENCE: St. Johns (see Campaign Strategy - under Candidate) letter dated "Monday the 4th" - to "Dear Dick" signed "Grammy St. Johns" (typed carbon copy) January 22, 1962 Miss Helen Sheckard Culver City Unified School District 4034 Irving Place Culver City, California Dear Miss Sheckard: Thank you for your kind letter of January 18th inviting Mr. Nixon to address the Los Angeles County Association of Educational Office Employees on either May 20th or May 27th. Much as he would like to accept your very kind invitation to ad- dress your meeting, his schedule for those dates is already committed, and he must reluctantly decline to join you. Again, you may be sure that he would like to accept your cordial invitation, and is extremely sorry that prior commitments on those dates make this impossible. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman January 22, 1962 Mr. Frank W. Splatt, Chairman Public & Business Affairs Committee Kiwanis Club of Upland 121 West "E" Street Ontario, California Dear Mr. Splatt: Your letter of January 15th to Mr. Nixon has been referred to me for reply. As mentioned in his letter of December 15th to Mr. Alexander, the invitation extended to Mr. Nixon by the Kiwanis Club of Upland to address an all-city interclub meeting was immediately passed along to me for direct handling with the Schedule Committee. This is to assure you the invitation is being carefully con- sidered, and just as soon as we have something definite to report, we will be in touch with you. We are hopeful something may be worked out that will prove mutually convenient during the time you have specified. Mr. Nixon appreciates your invitation very much and I know would like to accept if it is possible to include this in his already heavily committed schedule in the months ahead. You will be hearing from us a little later. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman File: - Schedule Com. X S X - Chron. January 18, 1962 Mr. W. H. Slakey President Slakey Brothers P.O. Box 2145 Fitchburg Station Oakland, California Dear Mr. Slakey: We certainly appreciate your letter of January 11th asking Dick Nixon to address the National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association convention in San Francisco on May 21st. Unfortunately, we have had to make a firm rule that Dick not accept speaking engagements for national conventions. We recognise that in many cases, and certainly this is true in yours, the audience will include a substantial and important group of Californians. However, if we deviate from the rule once, we have no basis upon which to stick to it on other occasions. Your valuable support in 1960 was obviously mest helpful, and I trust we can count on your support in the governorship race ahead. Thank you again for your letter, and we regret our answer must be as it is. Kind regards. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman File: to Schedule Com. i x-S X - Chron. January 19, 1962 Chancellor E. W. Strong The University of California Berkeley 4, California Dear Chancellor Strong: Mr. Nixon would like very much to participate in the discussion series scheduled for the spring semester at the Berkeley Campus of the University of California on the topic "What is Necessary to Win Peace?" We are wondering if we could work out a definite date after the spring recess and would appreciate your thoughts on this. We will await further word from you. Sincerely, H. R. Haldeman January 23, 1962 Mr. Fred W. Sabelman Sabelman Construction 2320 Floral Avenue Chico, California Dear Mr. Sabelman: Mr. Nixon has discussed with me your letter of January 8th. He is most interested in the California Wildlife Federation and appreciates the information and suggestions you have passed along. In the interest of a prompt follow-through with the campaign staff, Mr. Nixon asked me to write you direct. 1 am eager to meet with you and, of equal importance, have you meet Mr. Nirton Norris on our staff who will be handling the type activity involved. Are you still planning to be in Los Angeles February 2nd and 5th ? If so, would you let me know either by note or by telephone so that we can try to arrange a time to get together ? Although there is a possibility 1 may have to be in the East at that particular time, I would urge that you meet initially with Mr. Norris rather than delay our visit with you.

Nixon Pacific Mutual Building 523 W. 6th St. Contact Dir Los Angeles, California Dear Mr. Nixon: I'll introduce myself by saying I had the honor of meeting you in the elevater of the el Mirador Hotel in Sacramento last April while you were attending the Republican Caucus and I was attending a quarterly meeting of the California Wildlife Federa- tion. I didn't have the opportunity to fully answer your question regarding the status of the California Wildlife Federation (CWF). CWF is the largest sportsmens organization in the state, and the only state affiliate to the National Wildlife Federation. A non-profit group, comprised of councils made up of local Rod & Gun Clubs, fishing, boating, hunting, archery, skin-diving, and so on. I serve as one of the 27 directors; one of the three from the California Bowman Hunters, a member council, of which I am the Legislative Representative. My outdoor interests have also enabled me to serve in office of the Sportsmens Councils of Northern California, which I helped organize in 1959. I received a phone call from Fresno a few minutes ago from a fellow CWF Director asking me to join with he and others as an active member of the"Sportsmen for Pat Brown" effort they hope to organize. I recall a similar 'opportunity' about four years ago, when I merely stated I wasn't interested in the Pat Brown 8 point program, and wouldn't support it (for sportsmen). I wish I had actively opposed it, or invited Mr. Knowland's op- inion at that time. The men already interested in this new program to be out- lined by Brown command enough respect from me, at least, to en- courage me to get into action. I believe I can muster an equally talented following among sportsmen all over the state to beat them to the punch with a "Sportsmen for Nixon" effort. I'm will- ing and eager to devote my spare time to this not only to restore comprehensive leadership to the 'corner effice' for the sake of our renewable resources, but for the far-reaching economy of the people of the state. But My wife and I expect to be in Los Angeles February 2nd and again on the 5th, going to and from San Diego. Would it be out of the question for me to arrange a meeting perhaps during lunch with you or your manager and some of my Southern California col- leagues? My kindest personal regards.

It looks to me as if you planned your trip around the world at precisely the right time to miss most of the Gubernatorial Campaign activity. Your offer to supply tape recordings would be most welcome at a later point in the campaign, but unfortunately I don't think we can take advantage of it before you head for the hills in January. We do very much appreciate your generous offer and maybe we can take you up on it when you get back in September. In the meantime, have a good trip. Sincerely, H. R.

Pls ack receipt said to smith / and to file Tom Tom Smith COMMUNITY RELATIONS AERONUTRONIC A DIVISION OF Ford Motor Company, ECO Clearinghouse PUBLISHED FOR THE PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICER BY ECO, 24 EAST 38TH STREET, N.Y.C. December 20, 1961 Bulletin # 5 AFL-CIO Convention Takes Note of Public Affairs Last week, in Bal Harbour, Florida, the AFL-CIO meeting at its Fourth Constitu- tional Convention approved a resolution on political education, the preamble to which says in part: "Recent innovations in political activity on the part of business have solidified into an established pattern. More business groups and individual corporations have highly- trained, full time staff personnel working to extend the base of their political influence. "Political 'crientation' and 'educational' classes and materials are directed not only at executives and super- visory personnel at every level, but at the workers, our own members." The resolution, officially designated as No. 141, also notes that there can be no question of the sincerity of our determination to expand and improve our political operation" and then goes on to detail six specific areas of action for COPE, the Committee on Political Education. For the interest and education of public affairs directors ECO has edited Resolu- tion No. 141 and also the transcript of the convention proceedings during which it was approved and adopted. The edited text follows: Political Education -- Resolution No. 141 "We accept our responsibility as Americans and as trade unionists to participate fully in the political life of the nation. There is no piece of legislation passed Clearinghouse Bulletin #5 page 2 by the Congress, no administrative decision made by a government agency which does not bear in some way on the lives and fortunes of trade union members. There is no real question of whether trade unions should concern themselves with politics. " As there can be no question of the propriety of our political activity, there can be no question of the sincerity of our determination to expand and improve our political operation. We join together in our political effort for precisely the same reasons we earlier joined together in a struggle for economic recognition. Singly our voices are weak; in chorus they are strong. Singly our campaign dollars are anonymous small change; together they are recognizable representatives of a definite point of view, even if they can never match in size the donations of the wealthy. Separately we have not the resources to inform ourselves on issues and candidates; together we have. "It is a matter of gravest concern to us and to the country that there is a con- certed and malignant conspiracy to render the labor movement ineffective. This conspiracy, which exists between certain leaders of large corporations and groups within both political parties, has as its immediate objective the use of political power to so constrict labor unions as to render them ineffective at the bargaining table. "Recent innovation in political activity on the part of business have solidified into an established pattern. More business groups and individual corporations have highly-trained, full-time staff personnel working to extend the base of their political influence. Political 'orientation' and 'educational' classes and mater- ials are directed, not only at executives and supervisory personnel at every level, but at the workers, our own members. "It is generally agreed that, in the 1960 election, liberal candidates owed their victories in large measure to the record number of votes in industrial areas re- sulting from the AFL-CIO's crash registration drive. "The success of COPE registration and get-out-the-vote drives rests on the number of membership lists made available by local unions for processing. All national and international unions should direct their locals to turn over these lists to the properly constituted COPE body, reminding them that similar lists are made available to our opposition from the personnel files of employers. "We commit ourselves to the expansion and broadening of our political education and political action programs to insure that the freedoms we cherish will remain forever unimpaired. Now, therefore, be it "RESOLVED: This fourth convention of the AFL-CIO vigorously reaffirms its dedica- tion to the principle of non-partisan political education as a necessary ingredient of responsible trade unionism. "1. We hold it to be a primary obligation of trade union membership that each member of an affiliated international or national union be a registered voter. Clearinghouse Bulletin #5 page 3 "2. We call upon each national and international union to designate one or more full-time staff members who will work to assure full participation of each local union, its officers and members, in the COPE program. "3. We urge that each leeal union appoint a COPE committee which will designate a COPE chairman charged with the responsibility of coordinating the local's COPE program with the city or county COPE. "4. The State COPE's are charged with the responsibility for effective distribu- tion of these (Congressional voting) records as a primary function of political education activity. "5. We are an important source of campaign funds. Candidates who support a lib- eral position cannot look to big business for big money to finance their campaigns. No degree of activity by National COPE, no amount of literature, no number of earnest resolutions can fill this void without the full support of each affiliate. "To this end we urge, (1) that meeting the modest COPE quota be accepted as a defi- nite obligation of each affiliated national and international union, and (2) that the month of May be designated each year for a full, coordinated drive to collect voluntary dollars, with the cooperation of all local, national and international union staffs, officials and publicity media. "6. We authorize the National Director of COPE to initiate and supervise the form- ation of state operating committees in those states he may select as being of particular importance in the 1962 elections. "We call upon all members of the AFL-CIO to start to work today on the November 1962 elections." Proceedings of the Convention COMMITTEE SECRETARY McDONALD: "Mr. President, on behalf of the committee, I move adoption of the resolution." The motion was seconded. PRESIDENT MEANY: " You have heard the Report of the Committee on Resolution No. 141 and the motion is to adopt. Is there any discussion? "I would like to take just a minute or two to comment on this resolution. The trade union movement has been actively engaged in the political field some 13 to 15 years. Of course, we were in this field before that, but not in an organized active way. I think the real activity came when we realized the effect of Taft-Hartley in 1947, the damage that could be done to us through legislation. We got a real picture of how we could be punished, how the gains we had achieved over the years could be taken away through punitive legislation. "During all of this period, there is one phase of the work that has interested a good many people, myself in particular. This was the phase of the work which applied Clearinghouse Bulletin #5 page 4 to our own membership. We found out by a survey some years ago that the exercise of the voting right on the part of the trade union people in America was no higher than the national average of all those people eligible to vote who exercised the franchise on election day. In fact, we felt that in a good many cases we were be- low the national average. So for many years we have been thinking about how we can get our own vote out. "It doesn't make much sense to appeal to the citizenry who are not closely connec- ted with the trade union movement, to ask them to vote for people we feel have a proper attitude towards the things we favor. If we can't get our own people to vote, it doesn't make much sense to ask others to vote. "However, we have done a lot of talk about this and have tried a few little exper- iments here and there. But in 1960, we went into this thing in a big way. We concentrated our efforts in 14 States and in the particular population. We put on where there was a large industrial population. We put on campaigns, non-partisan, if you please, to get the people to register and to vote. Of course, we cooperated with all groups that had the same purpose, the purpose of getting the vote out. Naturally we concentrated, as I say, in the areas where we felt the voters who come out would be sympathetic in the vast majority to the things that we espoused. "I can say to you this effort in the 14 States was successful beyond anything we could possibly have expected. We raised the registration rolls in the national elec- tion of 1960 by millions of voters in these particular States; hundreds of thou- sands in one State, 200,000 in another, 50,000 in another State. And the candid- ate that we supported was successful in 12 of those 14 States. "This is a very important vote and, as I said before, we found out in 1960 that this effort can be successful, that we can increase the number of those coming to the voting places on election day and that we can in a good many places be the de- termining factor in marginal districts between the election of a candidate un- friendly to us and a candidate who is sympathetic to the things that we are for. "I commend the Committee on the presentation of this resolution. I think it is one of the most constructive resolutions we will have before us. "Is there any further discussion on this matter?" DELEGATE SAM POLLOCK, Portage County, Ohio Central Body: "In support of the reso- lution, I also want to comment that it does not go far enough insofar as its ex- pression as to the type of activity that COPE may be engaged in from time to time. "I know that in Ohio we have been confronted time and time again, and I am sure this is true in many other states also, where on the local level we have candidates that have been put forward by both the Democratic and Republican parties, who under no circumstances are acceptable to labor. The result is that we sit out that cam- paign, that all of our efforts to get our people registered, all of our efforts to campaign in behalf of the issues in which we are interested go by the wayside, be- cause we have no candidate that will carry forward the ideas of labor. "For that reason, I would strongly urge, if it is not implied, and I would certainly like an expression from the Chairman of the Resolutions Committss if it is not Clearinghouse Bulletin #5 page 5 implied, that we are to consider very seriously that in the absence of an accept- able candidate that does not meet the test as put forward in this resolution by COPE that it shall be a responsibility of COPE in those areas to put forward an independent labor candidate to carry forward the ideas and the needs of the labor movement. Thank you." PRESIDENT MEANY: "I think that you have put your finger on a very practical prob- lem that occurs from time to time, and I am sure that it is the policy of COPE and the people directing COPE to do just what you suggest where that is possible, and where it is practicable to do it. "I am quite sure that there is no need to have a special resolution on this or insert it in this resolution. This is strictly a matter of the judgment of the directors of COPE and the COPE Committee in the local area. Wherever it is prac- tical and possible to put up an independent candidate, I think it should be done. I am quite sure that the directors of COPE take the same point of view. "Is there any further discussion? Those in favor of the motion to adopt the reso- lution No. 141 please signify by saying Aye; contrary No. The Ayes have it and it is so ordered."
