MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. EHRLICHMAN
As the President may have already discussed with you,
he wants you and Dent to keep very close to Rog Morton,
keep him in on things, and keep him upbeat. The
President was concerned that Rog seemed quite discouraged
from time to time during the last week.
He also wants the Vice President used more on political
things.
He wants Flanigan used, but only in the area of appoint-
ments and patronage, not strategy.
He feels Nofziger can be of considerable political value
as a mean and dirty guy.
He wants the Political Group to meet more often without
the President. This he feels would consist of Rog
Morton, Dent, the Vice President, Nofziger, Harlow, you,
me and Flanigan. He thinks that Rog Morton should preside
at these meetings and that they should be held quite
regularly, but only infrequently with him.
He also wants you and Dent to talk with Rog Morton re-
garding the President's participation in upcoming
campaigns this year in New Jersey and Virginia -- where
he will go only if the polls show we can win -- and next
year in the Congressional campaigns.
He feels strongly that Vice President Agnew should be
the big wheel this year, and that it should be made clear
to Morton that the President has an awful lot on Vietnam
coming up plus the necessity of getting his program
through Congress, and that his participation will have
to be very limited.
He thinks that Morton, Tower, Wilson, the Vice President,
and you and I should have a chat on this soon, get plans
settled now so that requests don't pile up and that they
don't start expecting more from the President than they are
going to get.
H. R. HALDEMAN
