THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
July 6, 1971
ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR: JOHN DEAN
FROM:
DAPRAY MUIR Dm
SUBJECT:
Republican Law Firms
Preparation of a list of Republican Law Firms requested by you is currently
awaiting various inputs deemed necessary to a complete list.
The Republican National Committee has yet to supply us with any firm names
which they might have on file.
Cope Stewart, Secretary of the 1968 Lawyers for Nixon, has provided us with
a list of the State Chairmen of the Lawyers for Nixon. Mike Saperstein
believes that he can obtain the complete list of Lawyers for Nixon. Even
with such a list, extracting the names of predominantly Republican law
firms will remain a significant problem.
I would suggest the quickest and most appropriate way would be to have Cope
Stewart write the 50 State Chairmen a letter, indicating a desire to bring
up to date his files, and requesting information relating to Republican law
firms. Such a letter would be signed by him, as 1968 secretary. No reference
to the White House or the current campaign would be necessary. A form of
letter is attached hereto as Appendix A.
You have indicated that such a plan should not be undertaken without agreement
by the Campaign Headquarters. A draft of memorandum inquiring of their
views is attached hereto as Appendix B.
Please advise your reaction. The alternative is to go through Martindale-
Hubbell, comparing the list of Lawyers for Nixon against every law firm listed
therein - - or at least those at important geographic areas.
Attachments
DRAFT
Dear
:
The 1972 campaign is still a year away, but, as you know, it can be of
invaluable help to have completed some of the groundwork prior to that
time when the action begins.
For this reason, I am trying to bring my records up to date on Republican
law firms in your state. I wonder if you could send me the names of two
or three predominantly Republican firms, firms known for their Republican
leanings, in each of the largest urban areas or otherwise politically
important areas in your state ?
I hope that you have been as pleased as I with the Administration's over-all
performance, and that you will be interested in contributing to his re-election
in 1972.
With best personal regards, I am
Sincerely,
G. Cope Stewart III
Secretary, 1968 Lawyers
for Nixon
DRAFT
MEMORANDUM FOR:
FROM:
JOHN DEAN
SUBJECT:
Republican Law Firms
We are attempting to compile a list of predominantly Republican law firms
throughout the country. This task requires that we enquire of persons
knowledgeable of such matters in the various subdivisions of the country.
Because of the possible negative repress which White House involvement
in such an activity might cause, we would like to have any inquiries sent
out by someone not connected with the Executive Office of the President.
G. Cope Stewart III, Secretary of the 1968 Lawyers for Nixon, has
agreed to send a letter similar to that submitted herewith as Attachment A,
to each of the State Chairmen with whom he worked during the 1968 Campaign.
Would you please give us your comments and/or recommendations.
