Monday, June 14, 2010 Page 1 of 1 [Item N.I] December 21, 1971 MEMORANDUM FOR: CHUCK COLSON FROM: PAT BUCHANAN Sent that piece out to Tony Smith, who thought it good, but counterproductive to run now -- as it would tend to harden the conservatives in their position, and perhaps nudge Ashbrook further toward candidacy for both publicity reasons and reasons of machismo. Generally, I concur; so that piece will not be run. MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON October 21, 1971 MEMORANDUM FOR: PAT BUCHANAN FROM: CHUCK COLSON I think you will find the attached fascinating (unless you are the one who sent it to me; I haven't found out where I got it). Muskie is really mushing on this issue. Can we do anything with the Catholic press to stir it up a bit? He also seems to muddle his way through the abortion and birth control issue. Note, however, that he comes out on the right side as far as amnesty for the draft dodgers Certainly this should be stashed away for use at the right time when we, in fact, do something in the parochial school aid area. cc: Henry Cashen w/enclosure
