MEMORANDUM FOR
JIM ALLISON
Attached is a story by Paul Hope from the Evening Star
of February 23. I think excerpts from this used in
the next issue of MONDAY would be good not because it
mentions Harry Dent, but because it shows that this
Administration and this National Committee are squeezing
everything they can politically out of this Adminis-
tration to build the Republican Party. I particularly
call your attention to that part which refers to the
expansion of the National Committee under Nixon as
contrasted to the contraction by LBJ.
This was called to Mr. Houge this morning and he didn't
cotten to it because he thought it would appear that we
are blowing our own horns. I wonder what he thinks
MONDAY is all about? I wonder what he thinks PR is all
about?

MEMORANDUM FOR HARRY S. DENT
From: Jack A. Gleason

Re: Election, 1970 -- legal research.
Harry,
Per your request, I am attaching herewith a memo from you
to Jim Allison requesting some assistance on legal research.
I do this, however, with two very serious caveats;
A. By making this request to the National Committee,
we will in effect be assuring a still wider break in security
surrounding this operation, and
B. The General Counsel to the Republican National
Finance Committee is Roemer McPhee, whom I personally
find attractive, but I am somewhat skeptical of his extremely
conservative approach to interpreting the law. Like many
lawyers, he is an expert on telling you what you cannot do,
which in this case would not be especially helpful.
If, however, you are satisfied on the above two points, I
suppose there is no reason not to go to the National Committee
with this request per the attached memo.
