The chronology on the article for the Southern California
Home Buyers Magazine is as follows:
July 16--*R Farrington received call from Dorothy Wright to
phone magazine about an article. Farrington did so and
a recommended to Bob Haldeman that it was a "good idea" and
we should go ahead with it---an article over your signature
on home buying and future plans on housing for California.
July 18--Bob said "Go Ahead-" have research prepare the
material. Farrington phoned request to Sophie Telfer in Research.
Augustx2xexz
August 2 -- Farrington called research and found nothing had
been done on it. After checking with Haldeman he then gave
the project to me--saying that we were committed to doing the
article by August 15.
August 2 -- I phoned Agnes Waldron for research material. A day
or so later I got a slim folder on housing, with no information
about private home building in the state.
August 2-13 --After checking for names with Dan Waters, I phoned
Udall in San Diego, Butler in Los Angeles and a fellow named Brady
and finally Webster Jones, PR man for the Home Builders Assn of
Southern California. I alsox got your tape of speech before
HomeBuilders Assn for further information.
After doing two drafts, which were unsatisfactory to me, I waited
until after the 18th for your return, knowing you would want to
approve this article because of the newness of the subject matter.
I put together the final draft yesterday, August 20; it was

** typed by Farrington's secretary today, and with the Magzine
clamoring because their deadline was August 15, I said send it
ahead and tell them we may have changes in it to make. The
magazine editor showed his heart was on our side by sending us
a copy of Brown's matching article (received here August 20),
which was pretty dull stuff

farm area are great.
He urges that you not use Hess for preparation
of the farm speeches to be made during the campaign. He
feels that Hess does not grasp the problem and, more
importantly, that his tricky and colorful phraseology will not
set well at all with the farm group.

RN

Bob Haldeman
While I have covered with you verbally most of the points
listed in your memorandum of July 25th, I will recap present
status herein:
1)
A1 Moscow has had the responsibility for the book
project with regard to libraries etc.
2) Mrs. Virginia Wilson (recommended by Murray) is in
charge of the paperback book distribution project.
25,000 copies have been ordered. Plans for distribution
and follow-up will be handled by Mrs. Wilson and her
committee set up solely for this purpose. They will be
given the recommendations covered in your several
memoranda. We are also going to use the leather bound
version and are developing plans for it.
3)
Distribution of the Reader's Digest article will be set
up according to the recommendations in your memo to
the maximum extent possible; however, part of the
distribution plan outlined in my original proposal will
accomplish some of the goals you have stated, and I do
not think it should be completely abandoned.
4) Charlie Farrington is in charge of campaign literature.
You have seen several basic pieces which are now in
production. As you know, a number of the other pieces,
i.e. those suggested by Paul Keyes, are also in preparation.
5) Murray Chotiner is responsible for the attack group, and
in this capacity is guiding the activities of Jerry Reynolds
and the investigative arm of the research group; Don Jackson
and use of the McDonald files; Bill Price who is doing
special investigation.
6) Murray will also take the responsibility for "Free Democrats".
As you know, Kalmbach is not negotiating with Moore. This
is being handled by Nate Jacobs' agency and is completely
separate from the campaign organisation.
(2)
7) The responsibility for women's clubs outside of the
Republican Clubs is divided. Ivy Stevens will be
covering the area you suggested for her, i.e. top level
women executives etc., although she tells me her
activity will have to be very limited due to doctor's
orders. My mother is working with a group of the
younger Junior League types, and also bringing the
Lungren types into this activity. Rose is going to talk
to Bea Linville regarding Business & Professional Women.
8) I still don't have the guy to be in charge of the
drive for young executives, but am pushing on this.
9) As far as I can determine, Bill Ross has quit giving us
the needle and our relations at the moment, at least,
are pretty good with Baus & Ross, so don't think we should
take positive steps at this point.
10) We have gone over the master schedule with you.
11) I am revising the priority list of expenditures and will
go over the new draft with you this week.
12) We had an ideal volunteer all set to take charge of
mail, but she had a heart attack the first week on the job.
We are now trying to line up a replacement. Meantime,
Oakley Hunter has agreed to work with Loie on special mail
relating to California political problems and, as you know,
Lichenstein is now able to take on some of the work.
13) We have set up a Schedule Committee for Pat consisting of
Gladys O'Donnell, Pat Hitt, Herb Klein, Rose Woods, Alice
Leopold and myself, with Bessie Newton as secretary and
staff member responsible for Pat's itinerary. This group
is meeting Wednesday.

I need for my own guidance the names of people who
specifically are going to take reponsibility for the following projects:
(1) My book project with regard to libraries and purchases by
individuals like Gainey, et. al. On this one, I admit I will
have to do something but I want to know what you are doing.
(2) The paper back project. What is the plan for distributing
it in California?
(3) What about the Reader's Digest?
(4) Who is in charge of campaign literature? In this field I need
to see the basic literature, particularly with regard to any
statements of mine or positions -- just to read it quickly.
What are the plans for literature? Specifically, here, one
thing that I constantly still get questions on is when are we
going to get our issues summary out?
(5) The attack group.
(6) The positive drive for the Democratic votes. In that connection
I am oncerned about having Kalmbach negotiate with More. I
think you ought to get this away from your office and get it in
the hands of some independent group or at least someone more
sophisticated than Kalmbach handling it.
(7) The women's groups. Who is responsible for these? In the
case of organized women -- Gladys O'Donnell is going to handle
that. I am referring to who is going to conduct the drive for
women outside of the Republican Clubs so that we get a real
active, live group -- particularly among those wives of profes-
sional and business types -- the Junior League types, the Lungren
types, etc.
(8) Who is going to be in charge of the drive for young executives
the male opposite number of the women referred to above.
(9) You referred to the fact that Bill Ross was giving us the needle.
The counterattack here is to have one of his clients take him to
task. Give me a report on what you can do on this score.
(10) We really have to see a master schedule for the campaign and I
think we have to see it before we get up to the state convention.
Go forward and prepare a suggested timing for me on this.
(11) Also before we get there I would like to see a priority list with
regard to our expenditures in the campaign so that we can appraise
our efforts in terms of geographical areas, media emphasis, etc.

Distribution of Paper Back Edition of "Six Crises" and
Reader's Digest Reprint.
My general memorandum covered this subject
briefly, but this is to confirm that we will net up a
key program to rifle shot the Reader's Digest reprint
into key Mexican areas and other heavily Democratic -
Catholic areas. We will also look for other specific
groups who would be potentially against us, but who
might be affected by this piece.
The plans for distribution of the paper
back "Six Crises" will be firmed up immediately. We
will follow the guideline of selling them at 60¢ or
less, if possible, and will concentrate on those areas
where we can get maximum effect.

The News Bureau now consists of Quinn and Zeigler
since Reynolds has been detached and assigned to Research
to handle investigations and preparation of attack material
for other people.
Moscow has a series of other responsibilities covered
in an earlier memo to you.
Quinn and Zeigler have been handling a few research-
investigations and will continue to be available for this
type of activity. They also have been working on up-dating
of our records re: newspaper, radio, TV personnel, and Zeigler
spends a great deal of time handling routine day-to-day requests
and inquiries from the press statewide.
Herb Klein is now responsible and I presume he will want
to do some reorganizing.

Your memo of 8/6 re: deterioration of prestige
As you know, most of the campaign group --
especially the advertising and P.R. people -- have always agreed
strongly with Leone Baxter's position that we should not lose
the advantage you have of being on a higher level than Brown.
I think this has been reflected in literature, advertising etc.
but not in scheduling for the primary, nor in press releases
and background stories. I think our basic plan for the fall
campaign provides the opportunity for campaigning in a way
that emphasizes our strength rather than further deterioration,
and we will keep this in mind in all planning from here on out.

From:

Distribution:
For consideration of your public relations approach and as
effects our literature, color stories, scheduling, etc. I have noted
in looking at polls in depth that one of our major assets is the fact that
I have been Vice President, and that this asset is substantially deteriorating.
One of the reasons for this deterioration is, of course, lapse of time
since holding office.
But from my conversations with several people part of the reason
is due to our own tactics. We have been listening so much to the group
that says as Jim Bassett did a few months ago, "Nixon must forget that
he was ever Vice President and act just like Brown does -- be a
candidate for Governor. That has affected everything we do. There is
a subtle problem here which Leone Baxter emphasized to me again when
I saw her in San Francisco. She feels it is vitally important that we not
lose the real advantage I have of being on a higher level than Brown from
the standpoint of the offices I have held and the prestige we have had. She
thinks that we have fallen into Brown's trap by trying simply to "do as
Brown does" rather than to campaign in a way that emphasizes our strength.
Kick this around the next time you have a public relations group; bringing
up the subject may help to set some of those right who are making the
same argument that Bassett has made. You might tell them about the polls
in depth to which I referred and see what they can come up with in a way that
we can make use of our asset.
Give me a report at your convenience as to what changes and emphasis
we can make to handle this problem more effectively.
