RE:
Gallup Poll
Gallup does not have its final figure yet for the last popularity
poll which they took. John Davies does advise, however, that
it looks like the approval rate will be 61%. I asked him if he
thought it would go down to 59% and he said, "No, I won't let
that happen. " He says that it is fluctuating between 60 and
62% approval and that he thinks it will end up at 61%.
He is going to give me the final figures tomorrow.
The poll will either be released a week from tomorrow, a week
from this coming Sunday, or a week from this coming Monday.
They have just not worked out their release schedule yet.

MEMORANDUM FOR: H.R. HALDEMAN
FROM: DWIGHT L. CHAPIN
RE: Private Dinner - The Annenbergs
I called and talked to Ambassador Annenberg. In informed
him that the President would like to host a party in his honor
the evening of the Prince Charles and Princess Anne party.
I asked the Ambassador for any suggestions of people he would
like to have to the dinner. Imade it clear that the President
would like to have friends of Walter's who also would be especially
beneficial to the President to have Included. In addition, I also
mentioned the possibility that perhaps Walter would lknow of wome
publishers or top television executives who would be appropriate
for the guest list for that evening.
The Ambassador refuses to pick any of the guests or suggest
any of the guests-for that particular dinner. He does not feel
that it is right for him to do so, nor does he want to. He says
that it is a high enough honor for them to be invited by the Nixons
and whomever the Nixons want to have there would be fine. I
pushed and shoved and everything else but could get no names from
the Ambassador.
Lucy Winchester is working with Mrs. Nixon on a guest list for
that evening's dinner. She should have a list in to us by Monday
as to who It is that they feel they are going to invited Lucy
implied that Mrs. Nixon will probably be talking to the President
about this.

RE:
Annenberg Dinner
The following have accepted for the Annenberg Dinner:
President and First Lady
Amb. and Mrs. Annenberg
Mrs. Longworth
Lord Thompson
Mr. and Mrs. Don McGannon
Amb. and Mrs. Freeman
Confirmation has not been received from Henry Kissinger and Mr.
and Mrs. Jack Knight.
Should Mr. and Mrs. Knight regret, the next option would be Mr. and
Mrs. William Michaels, President of Storer Broadcasting. The next
two options, as you know, are Hobe Lewis and Secretary and Mrs.
Rogers.
As you have been told, Lord Thompson is not married. He has, however,
accepted. The question is should he have as his dinner partner Mrs.
Longworth and should we drop Henry Kissinger from the guest list ?
(This would enable us, hopefully, to add the Michaels.)
Approve
Disapprove
Should we invite Nancy Hanks to be Lord Thompson's dinner partner and
leave Henry Kissinger as Mrs. Longworth's dinner partner?
Approve
Disapprove

RE:
Gallup Poll
The Gallup Poll has survey which will be published this weekend
which has the President pitted against Lindsay and Wallace -
Lindsay being the Democrat. It was taken among all registered
voters and breaks down as follows:
President
46%
Lindsay
29%
Wallace
14%
The Lindsay 29% figure only puts him 7 points behind Muskie who
the current favorite of the rank and file Democrats. This fact will
be pointed out in the text of the story.
For your information, Gallup will not be adding the 18-year-old
vote factor into a survey until probably after the election. The main
reason on this is the financial problems in doing so since it would
involve changing the sampling throughout the whole Gallup organiza-
tion, which includes the commercial parts.
It seems to me that we have the making of an issue here. I am not
sure it is one which works in our favor, but in terms of a general
attack against the polling industry or one of several attacks, this one
could be slipped in as a factor. The other consideration may be that
it is in our best interest that the 18-year-old factor will not be con-
sidered in the Gallup Polls.

RE:
Prince Charles/Princess Anne - White House
Entertainment
Per a discussion that you and I had with Dr. Kissinger on the
plane going to California, I have been talking with the State
Department (Bus Mosbacher) about the State Department's
picking up the expenses on the White House event for Prince
Charles and Princess Anne. It is anticipated that the party
this Friday night will cost $35, 000.
Bus Mosbacher has advanced our case to Bill Macomber and
Charlie Meyer. It was done on the basis that this is an official
visit since Prince Charles will bt some future time be King of
England.
The reaction back from State is that it would be a mistake for
them to pay for it since world is likely to leak out and since it
is wrong for the State Department to pay for it because it is a
private party that Julie and Tricia are giving.
In talks with Connie Stuart, Rex Scouten, and according to what
Connie tells me Mrs. Nixon thinks, it is felt that State should
not pay for this event. Rather, it should be paid out of private
funds. Over and over again, Connie has implied to the press
that the visit is a private visit and that it is being hosted by
Julie and Tricia. It is felt that one of the first questions which
is going to come up is who paid for the event. It is not felt that
the Government can pay for this event.
According to Connie, one thought has been to ask Walter Annenberg
to pay for the party. My understanding had been, and so had Connie's,
that Mrs. Nixon was going to ask Walter Annenberg to pay for it. This
morning Connie informed me that Mrs. Nixon would not ask Walter
Annenberg to do this but that someone else should.
