Dear Mr. Cole:
Our sincere thanks for

appreciative of the 50,000 copies of
the Spanish translation which you have
also arranged to send us.
I can assure you these
reprints will have wide and effective
distribution, and we hope they will, as
you have suggested, prove to be good
publicity for the Digest. We know they
will be a real asset to Dick Nixon's campaign.
Our thanks again for your
prompt and generous reaction to our request.
You and the Digest are helping California -

Al Cole advised us 100,000 reprints of the
Caracas chapter were shipped August 31st, compliments of
Reader's Digest - and in addition, he has just advised me
that although the chapter did not appear in the Spanish
edition, he has had it translated with a note on it that it
is a translation of material published in the U.S. edition
of the Digest. So in addition to the 100,000 reprints, he
is also sending 50,000 copies of the Spanish translation.
I have written him today, and am suggesting a
letter to Lois to 80 out over your signature.
Fred Haffner will follow through on distribution
along the lines of our conversation and your subsequent
memos.
August 24, 1962
Dear Mr. Cole:
We are wondering if there is a
possibility of securing the Spanish language
version of the Caracas Chapter of "Six Crises".
We have conducted extensive research
and feel that this particular piece would be
especially effective with this block of normally
Democratic voters. It could be a real help
in one of the areas where we are applying special
effort, and I am sure we could easily use
50,000 copies.
I will appreciate very much hearing
from you, and many thanks for your help.
Kind regards.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

From:
RN
Subject:
Reader's Digest Article on Caracas in Spanish
Distribution:
Please check the possibility of getting -- say
50,000 of the Reader's Digest article in Spanish the
article on Caracas - that one for circulation in the
Mexican community.
I think that my conversations with the Mexicans
today indicate to me that that would be very effective.
You might get an additional 50, 000 and throw
them into the Mexican-Spanish areas.
