Alan Nichols called.
NOTE: He will phone you tomorrow and advise whether following
recommended contact should be carried through.
Re: Civic League of Improvement Groups - San Francisco.
(membership heavily Republican - composed of politicians,
businessmen - conservative type)
Per Nichols -- group perhaps has more importance-attached to it than
it should -- actually is a "phony endorsing group" -- but puts out
big mailings etc.
-
- said League is controlled primarily by three men - Ben Swig (Dem. -
supporting Brown - perhaps passing money around); Supervisor Halley (who
he said the boss has met and knows); and former Mayor Robinson (preceded
Christopher).
1
- Halley is with us; Robinson is reputed to be against RN - Nichols said
probably because RN hadn't paid any attention to him; also is an
enemy of Christophers.
- nonetheless -- it was Nichols recommendation that RN contact Robinson -
perhaps by telephone - ask his support - get him on overall "name"
only committee type of thing - etc. etc. Nichols is inviting him for S.F.
-
- ALSO, a wire from RN should be addressed to Robinson - who is
Honorary Chairman of the League -- expressing-regret he cannot
attend Screening Committee meeting April 11th -- when a Candidate
-
will be endorsed. The Screening Committee makes its recommendation -
and another dinner-meeting is held April 17th -- and Nichols suggested
RN regret he can't make either one incidentally, Brown is
attending both.
- it was Nichols feeling RN should seek their endorsement
- later said (after talking on another phone with headquarters office) that
two other people were working on Robinson --- to hold off contacting
him until he (Michols) called you tomorrow and advised status.

COPE
Dear Alan:
I am sure you have had a verbal report from
Alice Leopold and Cap Weinberger regarding the COPE
situation, but I did want you to know that your thinking had
not gone unheeded in spite of the fact that your recommendation
was not fellowed.
date X 1
The general decision was that it would be
unwise in the primary for Dick to seek the COPE endorsement
or to address the convention. A decision on how to approach
C.O.P.E. Michels X I

this group, if at all, in the general campaign will be carefully

Thanks very much for your thoughts. Keep

Mr. Richard M. Nixon
Pacific Mutual Building
523 West Sixth Street
Los Angeles, California
Dear Dick:
As you know San Francisco COPE will endorse candidates by 2/3 vote
at its March 28th convention. In my opinion you probably would not re-
ceive their endorsement. However, if they do endorse for the Republican
and Democratic primaries, they might be more likely to endorse you rather
than Assemblyman Shell.
In line with your principle of facing directly those who might be op-
posed to you, I recommend that you make yourself available in the event
we can obtain clearance for you to address the general convention on
Wednesday next. Our San Francisco Endorsements Chairman, former Super-
visor Henry Rolph, heartily concurs in this recommendation.
We are making this recommendation in view of the strong labor union
sentiment and support in San Francisco.
We understand that Mrs. Leopold is fully aware of the situation and
undoubtedly she is making a recommendation regarding this COPE meeting.
My own recommendation is based not on the overall statewide labor vote
strategy but upon the strategy of importance in San Francisco.
You are certainly waging a fighting campaign and enthusiasm for your
candidacy is high in San Francisco.
Sincerely yours,
Alan

of the KEZY Board decision to endorse my candidacy

You may be sure it will be my constant aim
to continue to justify the support and confidence you

blind P.S. -- to Sandy Quinn
Corwin has asked that we send all available literature and
other material to Dan Russell at KEZY. He should get any
brochures that we publish and anything you feel will be helpful
to him in preparing editorials for broadcast. This is obviously
a real asset and should be properly handled.
