MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. BUCHANAN
FROM:
L. HIGBY
Bob reviewed your recent memorandum on Jim Buckley.
It was his feeling that it would not be appropriate for us
to make any mention or gesture regarding his campaign
or financial backing.
As you know there are no secrets in politics.

FOR:
LARRY HIGBY
FROM:
MURRAY CHOTINER
This is in reply to your memo of June 2, regarding the New York
Senatorial contest.
There are no secrets in politics. If anyone, including the President,
gives any kind of an okay for anyone, including Jerry Milbank, to raise
money for Buckley the word will be all over the State and possibly the
nation. It will jeopardize the President's relationship with Governor
Rockefeller and with many Republicans who believe that no matter how
contrary a Republican Senator might be, they don't want to take a chance
of losing his vote on organization day even if we don't get another vote
thereafter.
My recommendation is that we keep hands off the subject of anyone
raising money for Buckley. This is a free country and everyone has
a right to raise money for whatever candidate they prefer. They don't
need a "blessing" from the President.

MEMORANDUM FOR
THE PRESIDENT
William Buckley's brother, Jim, is running for Senate on the
Conservative Line in New York in a three-way race, with
Charlie Goodell and probably Sorenson. The race -- with
Goodell now getting the Liberal nod and Buckley certain to
draw off conservative Democrats, shapes up between then
Goodell and Buckley. Buckley is running on a down the
line -- support the President in Vietnam posture -- he is
with us all the way. Some Repiblican Congressmen are
likely to endorse him; if he wins, he will not only vote
with us to organize the Senate -- but will be one of the
President's kind of Senators. Admittedly, the shot is long.
What the conservatives are asking of the President is
that he let the word go forth to Jerry Milbank and to others - -
that while the President is not going to involve himself in
that race their support -- in cash for Buckley -- will not
be taken as a sign of disfavor by the President. The
conservative money men in New York apparently want to go with
Buckley -- but they don't want to do anything they think the
President would disapprove of. No harm is done it seems to me
if the Right pours their purse into Buckley -- since Buckley will
be drawing from Sorenson's Conservative Democrats, if he loses --
we get Charlie back anyway.
If he wins, we're in good shape.
I know this is in Murray's political bailiwick -- and that the
President's posture has been and is hands-off in that race. But
what the situation boils down to is that some of our conservative
friends want to help a guy who is running a pro-Nixon campaign
and all they ask is that some hand-signal be given to the
Conservatives that their financial backing of Buckley will not
embarrass or displease the President in the least.
Can we do this ?

FROM:

As I mentioned to you, Graham was having trouble getting
his replay of Knoxville in a couple of major markets -
one of which is Philadelphia. Haldeman requests that
you call Annenberg and see if he can't arrange for his
station to get the Graham tape on.

MEMORANDUM FOR H.R. HALDEMAN
FROM :
LARRY HIGBY
At your request, I spoke with Secretary Blount. He
reports that the Alabama situation is extremely good
at this time.
He reports that Johnny Cash endorsed Governor Brewer
after having lunch with him about a week ago. The press
picked up this endorsement and are running it heavy.
Blount says if we can get Cash to attend a rally for
Brewer on May 1 or 2, preferably the 2nd, that this would
put Brewer over the top.
He would like you to call Cash and talk him into doing
this. Previously we thought Billy Graham would be the
man to handle this rally, but Cash, they feel, is the
man we want to go with.
Secretary Blount suggests that no more financial sources
are needed unless there is a run off.
Attached find the latest poll information on the Alabama
situation.

May 6, 1970
MEMORANDUM FOR:
H.R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
L. HIGBY
L
SUBJECT:
RNC salaries, operations,
and Chairman Morton
Attached is a memorandum from Harry Dent outlining a meeting
he had with Chairman Morton last week. You should read it.
In addition, Dent called me to say that Morton now refuses to
fire Ed Jacoby until after he has had a meeting with leaders at
the White House about the RNC.
I had already indicated to Chairman Morton that you are most
interested in having a meeting in the near future and was a bit
surprised to learn of Morton's attitude from Dent.
Recommendations
Based on Dent's memorandum and conversations with Dent, I
would suggest that you sign the memorandum at Tab A to
Dent. It, in effect, asks Dent to make arrangements for an
done
appropriate meeting but, prior to that, to set up a brief for that
meeting for you to review to find out exactly just how we want
to approach Morton.
