MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
PATRICK J. BUCHANAN
SUBJECT:
Political Memorandum, 1972
Congressman McCloskey is now traveling at times in the company
of Jerry Cooke and Charles U. Daly. Have uncovered nothing
about the former, but the latter is an old New Frontiersman,
a John F. Kennedy man, a Bobby Kennedy man -- and a protege
and close friend of Larry O'Brien. This raises up interesting
possibilities. Is the Democratic Party providing staff assistance
and/or financial assistance to the McCloskey Campaign. If so,
we can discredit McCloskey as not a man of principle, but as
a party traitor, who is trafficking with New Frontiersmen to
defeat a Republican President. Good stuff can be made
out of this damaging to McCloskey's budding effort.
If we could find out where the money is coming from, to McCloskey,
we might build a case that he is simply a pawn. Anyhow, we should
have some of our political people looking out for this sort of thing.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
KEN KHACHIGIAN
FROM:
Pat Buchanan
This is a good indictment of the fellow, which
might have appeal across a broad spectrum -- all across
from peace kids to conservatives. But it looks like the
kind of personal assault that most politicians are unwilling
to give. What conservative can we get to deliver this -- then
have Monday excerpt it; and perhaps Human Events run
it in full. Then get reprints of it out to campus newspapers
and the like. Maybe a Congressman whom we know to be
conservative -- but whom others will read as simply Congressman X.
