HIGBY\nBob reviewed your recent memorandum on Jim Buckley.\nIt was his feeling that it would not be appropriate for us\nto make any mention or gesture regarding his campaign\nor financial backing.\nAs you know there are no secrets in politics.\nMEMORANDUM\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nJune 3, 1970\nDETERMINED TO BE AN\nGONFIDENTIAL\nADMINIS\nKING\nE.O. 120c5,\n6-102\nBy amp\nNAR , Date 12-4-80\nFOR:\nLARRY HIGBY\nFROM:\nMURRAY CHOTINER\nThis is in reply to your memo of June 2, regarding the New York\nSenatorial contest.\nThere are no secrets in politics. If anyone, including the President,\ngives any kind of an okay for anyone, including Jerry Milbank, to raise\nmoney for Buckley the word will be all over the State and possibly the\nnation. It will jeopardize the President's relationship with Governor\nRockefeller and with many Republicans who believe that no matter how\ncontrary a Republican Senator might be, they don't want to take a chance\nof losing his vote on organization day even if we don't get another vote\nthereafter.\nMy recommendation is that we keep hands off the subject of anyone\nraising money for Buckley. This is a free country and everyone has\na right to raise money for whatever candidate they prefer. They don't\nneed a \"blessing\" from the President.\nTunney\nRight\nFU 6/5\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nCONFIDENTIAL\nTo: Murray Chetiner.\nFrom:\nLarry Higby\nwhat my you\nL\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nJune 2, 1970\nMEMORANDUM FOR\nTHE PRESIDENT\nWilliam Buckley's brother, Jim, is running for Senate on the\nConservative Line in New York in a three-way race, with\nCharlie Goodell and probably Sorenson. The race -- with\nGoodell now getting the Liberal nod and Buckley certain to\ndraw off conservative Democrats, shapes up between then\nGoodell and Buckley. Buckley is running on a down the\nline -- support the President in Vietnam posture -- he is\nwith us all the way. Some Repiblican Congressmen are\nlikely to endorse him; if he wins, he will not only vote\nwith us to organize the Senate -- but will be one of the\nPresident's kind of Senators. Admittedly, the shot is long.\nWhat the conservatives are asking of the President is\nthat he let the word go forth to Jerry Milbank and to others - -\nthat while the President is not going to involve himself in\nthat race their support -- in cash for Buckley -- will not\nbe taken as a sign of disfavor by the President. The\nconservative money men in New York apparently want to go with\nBuckley -- but they don't want to do anything they think the\nPresident would disapprove of. No harm is done it seems to me\nif the Right pours their purse into Buckley -- since Buckley will\nbe drawing from Sorenson's Conservative Democrats, if he loses --\nwe get Charlie back anyway.\nIf he wins, we're in good shape.\nI know this is in Murray's political bailiwick -- and that the\nPresident's posture has been and is hands-off in that race. But\nwhat the situation boils down to is that some of our conservative\nfriends want to help a guy who is running a pro-Nixon campaign\nand all they ask is that some hand-signal be given to the\nConservatives that their financial backing of Buckley will not\nembarrass or displease the President in the least.\nCan we do this ?\nPATRICK J. BUCHANAN\nJune 5, 1970\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nMR. CHAPIN\nFROM:\nL. HIGBY\nAs I mentioned to you, Graham was having trouble getting\nhis replay of Knoxville in a couple of major markets -\none of which is Philadelphia. Haldeman requests that\nyou call Annenberg and see if he can't arrange for his\nstation to get the Graham tape on.\nMEMORANDUM\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nDETERMINED TO BE AN\nWASHINGTON\nfale\nADMINISTRATIVE MARKING\nE.O. 12065, Section 6-102\nBy cmp NARS, Date 12-4-80\nCONFIDENTIAL/EYES ONLY\nApril 19, 1970\nMEMORANDUM FOR H.R. HALDEMAN\nFROM :\nLARRY HIGBY\nAt your request, I spoke with Secretary Blount. He\nreports that the Alabama situation is extremely good\nat this time.\nHe reports that Johnny Cash endorsed Governor Brewer\nafter having lunch with him about a week ago. The press\npicked up this endorsement and are running it heavy.\nBlount says if we can get Cash to attend a rally for\nBrewer on May 1 or 2, preferably the 2nd, that this would\nput Brewer over the top.\nHe would like you to call Cash and talk him into doing\nthis. Previously we thought Billy Graham would be the\nman to handle this rally, but Cash, they feel, is the\nman we want to go with.\nSecretary Blount suggests that no more financial sources\nare needed unless there is a run off.\nAttached find the latest poll information on the Alabama\nsituation.\nAttachment\nDETERMINED TO BE AN\nADMINISTRATIVE MARKING\nE.O. 12065, Section 6-102\nBy Emp NARS, Date 12-4-80\nCONF FIDENTIAL/EYES ONLY\nApril 19, 1970\nMEMORANDUM FOR H.R.

HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nL. HIGBY\nL\nSUBJECT:\nRNC salaries, operations,\nand Chairman Morton\nAttached is a memorandum from Harry Dent outlining a meeting\nhe had with Chairman Morton last week. You should read it.\nIn addition, Dent called me to say that Morton now refuses to\nfire Ed Jacoby until after he has had a meeting with leaders at\nthe White House about the RNC.\nI had already indicated to Chairman Morton that you are most\ninterested in having a meeting in the near future and was a bit\nsurprised to learn of Morton's attitude from Dent.\nRecommendations\nBased on Dent's memorandum and conversations with Dent, I\nwould suggest that you sign the memorandum at Tab A to\nDent. It, in effect, asks Dent to make arrangements for an\ndone\nappropriate meeting but, prior to that, to set up a brief for that\nmeeting for you to review to find out exactly just how we want\nto approach Morton.\nAttachment"
