Utilization of Field Men contacts/
Key Men/Andre' E. LeTendre in
campaign structure
ATTACHMENT:
Post article
Per our luncheon conversation of last week, and per attached
article, the ultimate utilization of our Key Men and the contacts
our field men are making, in addition to my ultimate placement and
role, all concern me greatly.
The programs I've spent time on since last November will cost
us by next November a third of a million dollars. The programs, there
fore, should either be top priority and produce top-notch results or
we have wasted a great deal of money and many people's time.
It concerns me that the possibility exists that the structures
within states and nationally will all be solidified without any input
from our programs or me.
Frankly, we have hired high-caliber people in the field who are
making contacts with the best people available in each state. (Every
one of. our field men took 2 large cut in salary to come with us with
the understanding they would be in position to contribute a great deal
at a high-level toward our success in '72.)
The Key Men who end UD "A's" in our program will also possess the
ability and desire to contribute a great Ceal to insure our success.
If we do not utilize the talents of those our field men and I are
putting into the sytem, we not only will not get the return on our in-
vestment we should and have coming; "but we will have thousands (litere
of turned-off people.
-2-
My feelings about the role I am to play personally parallel the
above. If I'm to end up 3rd or 4th level, unable to utilize my talents
and the contacts our program bring about, it would make sense for the to
get locked into a different program and turn this one over to someone
else.
I firmly believe the programs we are involved in can make a sig-
nificant contribution to our overall success in '72, if utilized proper-
ly and properly placed in the overall organizational structure.
Thanks, George.

FROM:
CHARLES COLSON
SUBJECT:
John Volpe
I thought you should see the attached. I suspect that Volpe has
been in touch with you himself about this.
John is a very excitable fellow as you know. On the other hand,
I've always found that he has a pretty good political feel of things
and should know a little bit about New Hampshire, since the
politics in some respects are similar to Massachusetts.
In any event, the attached is sent on to you for whatever it's
worth.
