MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. KEOGH
The President is definitely opposed to Eric Sevareid as the author
for THE GREAT COMEBACK. He feels that Charles Murphy
would be much more desirable.
He raises the question, however, of whether we can't get someone
who was directly involved in the campaign, and someone who is
younger, more facile, and who will make it more exciting.
He suggests, for instance, that we look over the press corps that
cover him and try to find someone who is a real believer, or who
would at least be a real believer in the comeback concept. Two
possibilities that he had in mind were Robert Semple and Clark
Mollenhoff.
He suggests that you and Herb Klein look over the list and see
if we can't build our own group of young writers rather than going
back to the old timers like Murphy.
H. R. HALDEMAN
