HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nCHARLES COLSON\nSUBJECT:\nMeeting with Bob Dole\nI just finished a meeting -- to my delight with the old Bob Dole.\nHe really seemed to have his fight and enthusiasm back and a lot\nof self assurance. I hope it is not a one day phenomenon.\nBob indicated that he genuinely wants to become a more effective\nspokesman particularly in attacking the Democrats. To my surprise\nhe said that he felt that he hadn't done a good job at this at all and that\nhe simply wants our help in doing better. Noel Koch was with me and\nNoel got Bob's agreement to approve rebuttal statements without\nclearing it with Bob. This means we can really begin to bang back at\nthe Democrats fast, rather than taking the time to go through the\nNofziger operation.\nBob believes that one of his principal deficiencies has been his in-\nability to get Nofziger to do the things he wants done. Nofziger, of\ncourse, argues that Dole won't cooperate. I don't know who's right\nbut it is irrelevant because the two have to work together. He says\nhe has no control over Nofziger because Nofziger believes that he\nreports to Evans and/or the White House direct. Bob said that he\nwas going to see the Attorney General to try and get the point clarified\nand to be sure that everyone understands that Nofziger works for Dole.\nNoel and I told Bob some of the things that need to be done to beef up\nthe publicity operation. He is ready, willing and able to do so once he\ngets control of Nofziger, or so he says.\nThe one purpose of this memo is that if the issue comes up, I certainly\nhope we can support this. As long as Bob remains in the frame of\nmind he is in today, we can certainly get some things done with him.\nI don't know how long it will last but it is worth\nKeep me posted H"
