MEMORANDUM FOR JOHN EHR LICHMAN
FROM
CLARK R. MOLLENHOFF
Today I established clearly that Duff Reed was the man identi-
fied in the Pat Ferguson column as having destroyed his
Republican card at 1:30 A.M. on June 27, 1969, at the Jockey
Club. Three earlier sources had stated that it was probably
Duff Reed, but another source within the last 48 hours talked
with Reed and, on a direct confrontation on the issue, he said
he was the individual involved in the Jockey Club incident. He
explained that his action was in the context of a disagreement
with the handling of the Knowles matter rather than any ideo-
logical or physiological difference. The incident took place
following a conversation in which Reed was expressing his
displeasure at the Knowles matter. His companion, accord-
ing to Reed, commented: "If you feel that way about it, why
don't you engage in self immolation at the Pentagon."
If the Reed version is accurate, the column on this matter
could not have been accurate. Reed states that he works for
RCA, but is given a great deal of leeway to work on political
projects, some of which are not approved by RCA. One of
his special projects, he says, is the promotion of Dr. Mayer
of the White House and action in the whole field of hunger and
malnutrition.
I hope this takes care of your interest in this matter.

MEMORANDUM FOR
John Ehrlichman
Counsel to the President
Gordon See PP 4,5,6,10

Deputy Counsel to the President
FROM
Murray Chotiner
General Counsel
Enclosed is a copy of the minutes of the Democratic
National Committee's Executive Committee meeting held on
August 1, 1969.
Do not attach any significance to any of the ink notations.
They were made by someone else. These minutes come to us
through the courtesy of operator 41.
Page 5 is missing. I am endeavoring to get a copy of it.
However, it may take a few days, as my source is out-of-
town.
I judge from what is on pages 4 and 6 that it may be im-
portant to have page 5. It seems to deal with plans for
the 1970 campaign.
