July 20, 1970
HIGH PRIORITY
MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. CHAPIN
I need a program from you before we leave for California
that is done on a very confidential basis for the President's
review only, of how Tricia, Julie and Mrs. Nixon can
help in the campaign.
They are not to know we are doing this.
What we need is to figure out what would be effective, but not
blatantly political, as a way that they could go out to help
candidates. This would, of course, make it possible for them
to cover states without the President having to go in.
Some thought should be given to this with the political people
but not in such a way that it gets back to the East Wing until
we've worked up some ideas for the President to consider.
This is a matter of high priority. Don't let it drop.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. CHAPIN
We should, as you know, work up some recommendations
for Tricia and Julie for campaigning. We should always
look for places where they will get TV coverage. Visits
to Fairs, etc., would be good - they should not just do
teas with the Republican women. They should be used for
top Congressional candidates and can also be used to
score Brownie points in the good states like Kansas, where
the President and possibly the Vice President will not be
able to go.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. CHAPIN
As a matter of general scheduling policy remember that from now
through November all appointments should be weighed on the basis
of their political implication. The President's time should be used
at the maximum extent possible to aid in picking up Senate seats.
No appointment should be made that would hurt us politically.
We have, for the last year and one-half, overloaded schedule activity
to Blacks, youth, and Jews. From here on, until further notice,
there are to be no Jewish appointments set up per se. There are to
be just enough Blacks to show we care and they are to be establishment-
oriented Blacks, and not opposition-type militants. The concentration
is now to be on Italians, Poles, Mexicans, Rotarians, Elks, Middle
Americans, Silent Americans, Catholics, etc. le Friends supporters.
St
Have Bull or somebody analyze the schedule of appointme nts from the
start of the Administration, to date, on the basis of the ethnic
orientation and give us a rundown on how many hours the President has
spent with opposition-type people vs. potentially favorable-type people.
In this kind of a grouping ignore, of course, staff and foreign policy
and other such type appointments.

MEMORANDUM FOR: H. R. Haldeman
FROM: Mort Allin
RE: RATING OF JOURNALISTS
The journalists with whom we're familiar are divided in 5 groupings:
1) Friendly to Administration; 2) Balanced, fair, objective, neutral;
3) Unpredictable; 4) Usually Negative; and 5) Always hostile.
1. BASICALLY FRIENDLY
MAGAZINE REPORTERS
Stewart Alsop, Newsweek
James Burnham, National Review
Kenneth Crawford, Newsweek (much like HK Smith -- very sympathetic
on foreign policy and rallies to defense
when attacks are made on the Presidency.
A moderate liberal on domestic affairs
altho no fan of student protesters.)
Milton Friedman, Newsweek
Ken Filmore, Reader's Digest
John Hubbell, Reader's Digest
Paul Martin, US News
Earl Mazo, Reader's Digest
Frank Meyer, National Review
William Rusher, National Review (gets a bit touchy at times -- Reagan
man in '68 -- but basically with us.)
Harry Sievers, America
Henry Wallich, Newsweek
Tom Winter, Human Events
(currently out of sorts over domestic
policies -- welfare, deficit, SACB
hold-up -- but again wants to be of
assistance. Strong on foreign policy
in SE Asia and Court appointments. )

SYNDICATED COLUMNISTS

(another conservative who sometimes gets
a burr under the saddle but 95% OK)
Joe Alsop
Wm. F. Buckley
John Chamberlain
Ray Cromley
Roscoe and Geoffrey Drummond
Lt. Gen. Ira Eaker
Martin Gross
(over half of time, he discusses broader
philosophical questions than day-to-day
political issues, but comes down toward
our general Weltanschaung)
Col. R. D. Heinl
James J. Kilpatrick
Russell Kirk
Vic Lasky
David Lawrence
Ray McHugh
Kevin Phillips
John Roche
(in the HK Smith -- Crawford tradition
and not immune to letting US have it
once in a while. But outstanding for a
one-time ADA president and now Prof.
at Brandeis. )

in SVN)

Pal Jute
Catholic group we can line up all over the country, concentrating
almost totally in the key states where the re are Catholics such
as Illinois, Ohio, California, Wisconsin. That is, those states
where we have strong Senate races where the Catholic vote is a
major influence. He should not make a political speech, but he
should allow the candidate, our candidate, to appear with him
and he should give a report to these Catholic groups on the great
progress being made as a result of our opening relationships with
the Vatican.
Have someone in the political operation make an analysis of the

states that meet the above criteria and let me see a plan for how
you are going to use Lodge. If there is any reluctance on Lodge's
