MEMORANDUM FOR LYN NOFZIGER
You may recall that I talked to you about a friend of mine who
wants to dispose of several television stations. He was down
a few weeks ago and left with me a lot of information about these
stations, which I am enclosing. If you know anyone who is
interested, who is a friend of ours, let's put them together with
Norman Knight. I have no interest in this other than it would always
be nice to have these kinds of stations in the hands of friends.
Knight is apparently desperate for cash and a hard deal could
presumably be made.
Let me know if you have any interest in pursuing this further and
if so, I will have Knight come in and see you.
Charles W. Colson

WASHINGTON
November 23, 1970
MEMORANDUM FOR CHARLES W. COLSON
SUBJECT: Illinois Politics
Dick Wiley, our new General Counsel at FCC, was recently
Committeeman of one of the most Republican townships in
Cook County. He gives me a rather discouraging report
regarding '72 prospects in Illinois. He suggests strongly
that everything possible be done to get to Rentschler
and get him back on the team stopping his harassment of
Ogilvie, and that we do everything possible to avert
primary candidates for Ogilvie, Scott and Percy.
He feels we lost because Rentschler scarred up Smith very
badly in the primary giving the Democrats more than
enough ammunition, Smith ran a very negative campaign
that was poorly received, and Ogilvie is in deep trouble
because of the income tax. Anything that can be done
to brush up Ogilvie's image from its complete low ebb
at this time will be most useful.
