MEMORANDUM

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
November 19, 1969
Harry Dent
TO: FROM: Peter Flanigan PMO
I talked to Dan Lufkin regarding the Harris Poll. He assures me
that he has very much in mind their effort to "keep him honest."
However, Lufkin feels that Harris has been completely straight-
forward. In the future they will have review boards which will
review all of the assignments that Harris takes on, will review
the methods for carrying those assignments out, and will review
the results. Lufkin says it will help him in making sure that
Republicans get a fair shake if Harris would occasionally get a
Republican contract. This seems reasonable to me.
In regard to a Senatorial race in Connecticut, Jerry Milbank tells
me he is pressing for Keith Funston. As you know, Keith was head
of Trinity College, then President of the New York Stock Exchange,
and now Chairman of Olin-Mathison. He has lived for years in
Connecticut. However, Keith is 59 years old. While he is a
delightful companion, he is not what you call "hard" and does not,
in my view, have fire in his belly. I don't know Congressman
Meskill but have been led to believe his appeal would not stretch
around the state. Mac Baldridge has often been talked about as a
Senatorial candidate and we should give this careful thought.
As you know Lufkin has asked to be Chairman of Action Now for
Connecticut. I think we should urge this. However, we should keep
in mind that Dan will be thinking down the road and might well be
thinking of the Senatorial seat himself. He has only lived in Connec-
ticut for one year which is a major detriment; however, he's young,
attractive, and he does have fire in his belly. (Milbank is for Funston).

FOR:

FROM:
Harry Dent
I understand Clayton S. Harrison, Jr., the
State Chairman in Delaware, may need a full-
time job rather than a part-time job in order
to accomplish the aim of having him retire
as State Chairman.
You may recall that Jim Allison talked to you
about this. Also, Harrison, himself, has talked
to me.
Harrison is a good friend of the President, but
he and others agree that he needs to find an
honorable way out of the Chairmanship at this
time.
Please let me know what you think.

ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
TO:
Harry Flemming
FROM:
Bill Timmons
SUBJECT: Page Belcher
Our very good friend, Page Belcher, requests our
assistance in getting Don Hale, Assistant to the
Mayor of Tulsa, a Washington, D. C. bureacracy
job. Seems that the Mayor is squaring off for
Page's seat and Hale will be his manager. Ergo,
absence of the top-notch campaign manager makes
a campaign even more difficult.
Page is requesting our personal assistance in
this matter and your attention will be very
much appreciated.

TO:
Peter Flanigan
FROM: Harry Dent
The National Committee people tell me that all of the Neighbors for
Nixon lists have been burned and their long search since the election
has led them only to the incinerator or Alan Peterson. Evidently
they can get no cooperation from Alan Peterson. I know that Peterson
took our lists from the Southern States. Fortunately, I made my man
at least keep a copy for South Carolina. Instructions from Alan were
to the effect that no one was to keep any lists and that they were all
to be turned in to him and later he would return a copy. This never
happened.
Thus, the State of Texas for instance had 50,000 names, addresses,
and telephone numbers of people who volunteered to work for Nixon.
Today no one knows where this list is save Alan Peterson.
My question is, since you're a good friend of Alan, do you think you
can get these lists for us? I'm convinced he must have a copy.
