LeTendre in\ncampaign structure\nATTACHMENT:\nPost article\nPer our luncheon conversation of last week, and per attached\narticle, the ultimate utilization of our Key Men and the contacts\nour field men are making, in addition to my ultimate placement and\nrole, all concern me greatly.\nThe programs I've spent time on since last November will cost\nus by next November a third of a million dollars. The programs, there\nfore, should either be top priority and produce top-notch results or\nwe have wasted a great deal of money and many people's time.\nIt concerns me that the possibility exists that the structures\nwithin states and nationally will all be solidified without any input\nfrom our programs or me.\nFrankly, we have hired high-caliber people in the field who are\nmaking contacts with the best people available in each state. (Every\none of. our field men took 2 large cut in salary to come with us with\nthe understanding they would be in position to contribute a great deal\nat a high-level toward our success in '72.)\nThe Key Men who end UD \"A's\" in our program will also possess the\nability and desire to contribute a great Ceal to insure our success.\nIf we do not utilize the talents of those our field men and I are\nputting into the sytem, we not only will not get the return on our in-\nvestment we should and have coming; \"but we will have thousands (litere\nof turned-off people.\n-2-\nMy feelings about the role I am to play personally parallel the\nabove. If I'm to end up 3rd or 4th level, unable to utilize my talents\nand the contacts our program bring about, it would make sense for the to\nget locked into a different program and turn this one over to someone\nelse.\nI firmly believe the programs we are involved in can make a sig-\nnificant contribution to our overall success in '72, if utilized proper-\nly and properly placed in the overall organizational structure.\nThanks, George.\nWASHINGTON\nFOST\nThursday,\nNov.\n18,\n1971\nTHE\nA23\nStandard Forms Robert Novuk\nA Creaky Start for 1972\nA appeal to\npolge hous next year, and\nstate came from White\ncontrol, he said, the \"con-\nthe White House has siym-\nRepublican State chairmen\nHouse aides at the Denver\nfliets\" would be deadly and\nled the appliatment of a\nand national committee\nRepublican National Com-\nendless.
