MEMORANDUM FOR GORDON STRACHAN
H
FROM:
DICK MOORE wn
SUBJECT:
Television Documentaries
Pete Daileyjust gave me the following summary on the
writer situation.
Wolper is to prepare a story line for two one-half
hour documentaries, one on Nixon The Man, and the
other on the Nixon Presidency.
For each film, Wolper's procedure is to hire a writer
for the basic narrative which will then be refined
into a documentary script by Wolper's documentary
writers. The narrative writer should be a person
thoroughly familiar with the subject matter, but
need not be a film writer.
The writer for the film on the Nixon Presidency will
be Jim Keogh. I understand that this choice has al-
ready been approved by Bob Haldeman, and Wolper has
already made his deal with Keogh.
For the film on Nixon The Man, Wolper wants to hire
Ralph deToledano. Thus, the one question for which
they seek an answer is: Does Bob Haldeman approve
their hiring of deToledano for this purpose.
