Subject:
Distribution:
The Research Staff
1. Your memorandum concerning Pete Pitchess and Law Enforcement.
In talking with Pitchess today, he advises that the law enforcement issue
as an issue ought to be soft-pedaled by the Nixon campaign. He feels it is not an
issue upon which the administration is the most vulnerable, in addition to which it
is most difficult to come across to the press (as attacking Brown and Mosk without
casting asperions on the average law enforcement officer). He feels the most
profitable method in this regard would be to attack Brown for specific positions
he may have taken which have a law enforcement aspect but not to relate it to a
broad sweeping issue of law enforcement in the state of California essentially
asking the question, why did Governor Brown refuse to call a session to deal with
the narcotics problem in 1960 instead of saying that narcotics is sweeping the
state and overrunning the law enforcement people, etc.
In addition, Pitchess felt it most desirable that he not be put in the
position of clearing statements on law enforcement because, as things now stand,
he feels it preferable to be able to respond to inquiries on RN statements (such
as on the SF speech) that he doesn't know what RN said he may have been mis-
quoted or overquoted -- and he has no particular knowledge, but he does know
that Dick feels
etc.
2. With regard to your memorandum dated March 27 from RN to Bob Finch concerning
the California Medical Association.
I gather that the Doctor's Committee to which he refers would be a cam-
paign committee attempting to line up the California Medical Association and
Ben Reed in support of the Nixon candidacy and does not refer to any activity
in our shop here.
3. We are pursuing the matter with regard to Don Grunsky and I hope we can
incorporate his assistance into the campaign.

I just real over the memorandum on California Civil Defense that
Kendall wall preparod for the campaign. The memo appears to me
to be 1y well done and I feel that there is material in it
which CEJT be used by the campaign.
Mall works at Stanford Research Institute and has access to a
considerable amount of material compiled by that organisation.
If you feel that the Civil Defense report is helpful and well done,
I would strongly encourage that you use Mall where ever you think a
contact of this type might be helpful.
If you want us to work with him in any way from our Northern California

MEMORANDUM
To:
RN Staff
From:
Hugh 1. Flournoy
Re:
Task Forces and Position Papers
Following last Saturday's meeting, Bob Finch, Don Frey and I
discussed the process for developing "position papers" for the campaign.
The following is the result, slightly altered from our previous plan.
Step I: The various subject matter areas of state legislation have
been broken down into the following broad categories: Education; Social Welfare;
Water, Administration; Taxes; Labor; Civil Rights; Agriculture; Local Govern-
ment; Highways and highway safety; Fish and Game; Natural Resources -
Recreation; Law Enforcement; Narcoties; Partisan Politics; Judicial Branch;
Communism; Veterans; Propositions on ballett; Smog: Constitutional Reform;
Economic Expansion - Jobs; Civil Defense; Medical and Institutional Facilities;
Urban Problems.
Step II: RN staff - with some outside assistance - is preparing a brief
3 - 4 page summary of the various aspects and problems within the more general
category. Our aim is to be comprehensive and descriptive - not necessarily
suggestive. The deadline for these is January 31st. Concurrently with the
preparation of the initial papers, we will be recruiting task forces and attempting
to head each of them with a willing "spokesman" for later "rejoinders". Academic
as well as lay personnel will be incorporated in each area possible.
Step III: These papers will be reproduced in quantities sufficient to
-2-
circulate to our task force or advisory groups. We will be seeking reactions
as to problems that may have been short-changed, as well as to stimulate
thought and hopefully to produce suggestions.
Step IV: The advisory groups will be convened for meetings to discuss
the general areas and specific problems with the candidate.
Step V: As a result of these meetings the members of the task force
and advisory committee will be canvassed to find - in each area - a member to
produce a "position paper" in some detail.
Note: - Not all areas included in the breakdown will receive the "full
treatment". Some will be primarily for the candidate's information - e.g.,
propositions on the ballot, partisan elections.

Dear Miss Isherwood:
Thank you very much for your letter of November 24 and
your most generous offer to help in Richard Nixon's Campaign
for the Governorship of California.
Mr. Nixon, of course, does plan to make a major speech
on health care and your offer of information and a survey of
prominent men in this field would be most valuable.
I am taking the liberty of turning your letter over to our
task force group who will be working on this subject and you will
Task
be hearing directly from them regarding proceeding with your
suggestion.

This will probably not be until shortly after the first of the
year. But, in the meantime, you might be getting together what
information you feel will be of most value and also working out an
outline of what you would propose to include in your survey.
Again, thanks very much for your most generous offer.
We certainly appreciate your interest and will look forward to
working with you.
Best regards.
Sincerely,
H. R. Haldeman

to the exclusion of all private carriers from this field

I would appreciate it if you would forward to us whatever
information you might think pertinent with regard to this
