MEMORANDUM
THE WHITE HOUSE

MEMORANDUM FOR LEN GARMENT
The President is extremely interested in following up with
Billy Graham in the work he is doing with Negro ministers
across the country. He feels, as does Graham, that this may
be our best chance to make inroads into the Negro community.
I understand you've been in touch with Reverend Graham on
this matter, particularly in relation to Reverend Edward Hill.
In light of the President's continual interest in this project,
would you please proceed to meet directly with Dr. Graham
and provide the President with a status report of how we are
proceeding with this project and what our future plans are.
Thank you.

MEMORANDUM FOR
Bob Haldeman
On the political side, I would like you to follow
up with Billy Graham in his work with Negro ministers
across the country. He feels this is our best chance to
make inroads into the Negro community. I am inclined
to agree with him. The professional Negro radicals simply
can't be for us any more than the white radicals can be
for us. Just as we are trying to appeal to our own
constituency among the whites, we should remember that
there is a similar constituency, although eminently
smaller, among Negroes. Let's not overlook them in
attempting to pander to the radicals - black or white.

Dear Billy:
As my assistant, Brad Patterson, mentioned in his telephone
call with you the other day, I certainly would be interested
in meeting Reverend Edward Hill. If he should have the op-
portunity during his visit on the East Coast with you, it
would be a pleasure to see him in Washington.
I am particularly looking forward to hearing further from
you about the results of your own meetings with black and
white clergymen and to having any suggestions of your own as
to how we can contribute to what you are beginning.
Sincerely,
Leonard Garment
The Reverend Billy Graham
