DETERMINED TO BE AN
ADMINISTRATIVE MARKING
September 29, 1969
E.O. 12035, Section
By CRty NARS, Date 6/15/81 6-102
CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Attached is a memo to the Vice President concerning Saturday's
political meeting with the President. He said you are to be in
on these political discussions also, whenever possible.
The President particularly asks that you do everything you can
to help In New Jersey with the gentleman up in New Jersey who
proved to be so helpful in the 1968 campaign. He thinks this
may be crucial, just as you suggested in the brief political
meeting we had a week ago -- the one the President could not
attend. As you can see, the President is planning on going into
New Jersey and Virginia.
Also, he has suggested that I get the word to Marchi to let Lindsey
have It on Vietnam. There is some question in our minds whether
helping Marchi will hurt Procaccino and inevitably help Lindsey.
You know the situation better than 1. His feelings on this Lindsey
matter are getting stronger.
Jerry Leonard has indicated a strong private interest in having
Governor Knowles made a consultant to this Administration later
this year, and then appointed to a Circuit Court Judgeship as
soon as possible next year so that Lieutenant Governor Jack Olsen
can move into the Governor's chair for a run for that office in
1970. The President likes this idea very much.
Harry S. Dent
Deputy Counsel
to the President
Enclosure
MEMORANDUM FOR: THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
THE DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL
FROM:
HARRY S. DENT
Clark Mollenhoff of the Coles Publications is
one of the best, most honest, and most pro-
Nixon reporters In Washington. You may know
him personally. I have known him for quite
some time.
Clark was anxious to get some inside information
during the Fortas matter, but I did not bother
to contact either of you since I knew how
sensitive this was. If there is anything you
can ever do at any time to assist him, please
do so. The President also regards Clark very
highly. You can be sure that If you are
dealing with Clark Mollenhoff, you are dealing
with an honest man who only wants to help us
make this Administration a success.
Frank van der Linden, who reports for a
number of leading Southern newspapers, is
also another good friend. His principal
newspaper is the Nashville Banner. As you
may know, Captain Stahlman is one of the
President's best friends. He is publisher
of the Banner.
