MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
PATRICK J. BUCHANAN
Bit of information. Got an article from Harry Flemming from
some magazine publication- I think New England -- to the effect
that Francis Sargent is considering running in the Mass. primary --
and perhaps Rhode Island or New Hampshire against the President.
Sargent is quoted as saying he is keeping all his options. As he is
obviously note going anywhere as Governor, the thought of all that good
publicity may be enticing him. We have the article over here; it is
rather a candid piece.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
ROBERT FINCH
FROM:
KEN SMITH
SUBJECT:
Youth and the GOP
As a result of my position on the President's news summary
staff, I noted a CBS report in the 6/9 Summary showing
several high school leaders of an opposite philosophy
to us -- speaking to and organizing their peers regarding
registration and voting in the '72 election.
From various polls we have on record, and from my
own observations (I graduated from American U. in
December) it would seem that some of the greatest
potential support for the President lies among high school
seniors and those in vocational training.
In view of this I would suggest, if it isn't already being
done, that the WH, the RNC and the Administration send out
some of yur young, sharp staffers to speak to (and listen to)
these new, still impressionable, voters. It may well be
that any effort expended in this relatively virgin area will
repay itself many times over, particularly considering
the standing of the Adjhinistration on many college campuses.
If this round of appearances were set up starting in the fall
and continued steadily throughout the year, a small number of
speeches would cover a lot of ground -- and reach not only
those seniors already 18 but also those juniors who will be
18 by election time.
In any event, it seems to me to be a good idea. We have a
good case and from the appearances of the CBS report
groups opposing us, albeit far from organized, are already
at work.
