PERSONAL - CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. BUCHANAN
Subject: Notes from the President
The President reviewed with interest your memorandum of March 7th
concerning the Republican pulse nationwide, and other subjects in the
political vein. The comments he made are listed below:
Re the paragraph on Senator Marchi squaring off against Lindsay
(pg. 2) - "Pat, the President's policy will be to stay out of all
primary contests."
Re your query as to what you should say, if asked, about the
President's involvement in Republican primary contests (last
paragraph, pg. 2) - "Okay. I agree."
Re John Ashbrook (paragraph 3, Pg. 3) - "We can't hold him.
The cost is too high."
Re your first recommendation (pg. 4) - "I am asking Haldeman
to see that this is done."
Re your second recommendation (pg. 4) - "An excellent idea
probably a small stag dinner."
Re your third recommendation (pg. 4) - "Okay, but it should go
to Ehrlichman first in order to determine where RN has already
acted."
NOTE: Pat, I have sent a separate memorandum to John
Ehrlichman concerning the President's desires re these
last two items.
Re your last paragraph (pg. 5) - "We shall have to appoint some
who will not be satisfactory to the Right; but, I agree that it
would be well to first run these by Buchanan, et al.
Re the report in its entirety - "Pat, a very good memo."
ALEXANDER P. BUTTERFIELD
