MEMORANDUM TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
PATRICK J. BUCHANAN
Scoop Jackson is making a desperate effort to have the Tennessee
Primary shifted up from May 4 to March 30, according to the
Times story attached, and it seems in our immediate political
interest to have that happen. Muskie is a clear underdog in
Tennessee, to both Wallace and to Jackson, and if we can get the
Tennessee Primary moved to the 30th of March, we could have a
defeat inflicted on Muskie -- five days before the Wisconsin
Primary. That might help take the bloom off the Muskie candidacy
a bit, before thefinal, and perhaps crucial early primary.
The stumbling block to a shift in the Tennessee Primary up to
March 30 is reportedly Governor Winfield Dunn. Seems to me
that it would be in our interest to have Dunn shift that primary --
in order to have Muskie defeated once more before Wisconsin.
Perhaps Dunn has his reasons; but we ought to know them.
Buchanan
