Dear John:
That's great about the
USC Alumni for Nixon Committee.
It looks like it's going to get off
the ground.
Your further advice in
connection with Joe Shell has been
passed along to Dick.
Many thanks, and best
regards.
WIN WITH NIXON!

Dear Bob,
Just a line to let you know that the USC Alumni for NIXON
Committee is "launched". Francis D. Tappaan has accepted
the chairmanship and he is now in the process of lining up a
committee of about 100 USC Alumni.
You should know that before contacting Tappaan a small,
influential group that I had assembled decided that Joe Shell
would be the ideal one to head this committee and he was
approached by one of these individuals and declined. I would
not want to name the individual who contacted Joe Shell and
I would not like to see this information get back to him; how-
ever, I was told that one of the reasons he said no was that
he had been asked by several others to do many things in the
Nixon Campaign but had never been asked by Nixon himself to
do anything. Also, he reportedly has received only a per-
functory "thank you" for his recent efforts in San Diego.
Thought you might want to get this message through to Dick
Nixon -- in a diplomatic way, of course.
Regards,
It John V. Vaughn

Dear John:
I think your idea as to the approach for organizing
the UCLA Alumni for Nixon is good, and that you should
go ahead with it.
I should think we could get the Alumni office to let us
use their list provided we did not use their plates
so that the source would not be obvious.
I had also hoped that because of the caliber of many of
the individuals in the group at your meeting, we might
be able to get each of them to take on specific campaign
assignments in their own particular areas of business
or civic endeavor. I can certainly understand the
possibility of problems with those directly associated
with the University, although I think they should be asked
since some of them may want to participate anyway. Fred
Houser, incidentally, told me at the meeting that his
being a Judge would in no way hamper his efforts in our
behalf.
I definitely agree it would be better to ask these people
to serve on a Committee first, and then hit them for
financial contributions, hoping to pick up some of the much
needed cash from them at the appropriate time.
Again, thanks for your help in setting this up and following
through.
WIN WITH NIXON!

Dear Bob,
I have not as yet attempted any follow up to the August 21 meeting with a
few UCLA leaders. Other than the usual amenities made to a host when
they departed, the only thing I have heard from any of them is a thank-
you note from Maurice Goodstein and a copy of a letter to you from Phil
Davis and one to Dick from Ralph Wescott. Nonetheless, I am confident
that each of those present appreciated the opportunity to meet and visit with
Dick Nixon and I think that some can be counted upon to help out.
I have been toying with the idea of attempting to organize this group into
a "UCLA Alumni Committee for Nixon" but frankly have been a little
hesitant. I suppose I have been suffering from the same malady as
Brown indecision!
I know that I could count on several of those to whom invitations were sent
such as Bob Alshuler, the Davis Brothers, Maurie Goodstein, Porter
Hendricks, Paul Hutchinson, Frank McKellar, Roger Petet, and Dick
Von Hagen; but I am not yet quite sure that this is the right group to form
the nucleus. I anticipate some unwillingness on the part of men like Bill
Ackerman, Ed Carter, Bob Fischer, Andy Hamilton, and Doug Kinsey
because of their association with the University; with Tillie Parisi because
of his work with the city schools; and also with Fred Houser and Jerry Weil
because they are judges.
I think the ideal would be to enlist at least 10 of those invited to the meeting
to form a committee and ask each of those to find 10 more UCLA Alumni
who would be willing to serve on a committee of at least 100, then prepare
a letter to go out to as many UCLA Alumni as we can find names and addresses
for.

I anticipate that the Alumni Office would not let us use their mailing list
of some 12, 000 members, but perhaps we can dig up other lists through
fraternities, sororities, etc. Incidentally, I suppose we would want to
have a good representation on the committee from UCLA women also.
If you will let me have your comments on the above and any alternate
suggestions, I will try to get busy on this next week. I hope you agree
it would be better to first ask these people to serve on the committee
before we ask them for financial contributions.
Regards,
July Vaughn
