ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
GORDON STRACHAN
G
SUBJECT:
Kemp's Black Athletes
Jack Kemp is "hedging" and "waffling" on his commitment to the
President to develop a list of black ball players as public
supporters of the President.
Bill Timmons and John Nidecker have sought to obtain the list
from Kemp every third day since Spetember 21. Nidecker has
met each of Kemp's demands (personal pictures, speech material,
etc.), but this has not caused Kemp to deliver. Nidecker will
persist and is somewhat optimistic.
As to the system for handling celebrities, Henry Cashen in
Colson's office is neither interested nor detail oriented
enough to keep pushing this project. The "spokesman resource"
system at the Committee for the Re-Election of the President
is the best alternative. Bart Porter has handled Martha
Mitchell well and is now ready to work with other celebrities.
The net result is that Nidecker may yet get the list from
Kemp. If he does, Porter will schedule from 1701.
