MEMORANDUM
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
May 3, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
DWIGHT L. CHAPIN
SUBJECT:
Tex McCrary
Concerning the idea that Tex McCrary be used as one of the people working on
the Wolper films, I have the following thought:
McCrary would be a perfect one to review the rough scripts when they are submitted
and to see that the film gets pounded into something which is worthwhile. However,
I do not think that we should have him working with Wolper since I am of the
opinion that this would cause personality clashes and major problems. We should
use McCrary as one of our "Think Tank" guys and then Moore and I can maneuver
Pete Dailey and the Committee around to any worthwhile suggestions which
McCrary might make.
Unless you see some problem with this procedure, good I will follow it.
cc: Mr. Moore
