Friday, July 02, 2010 Page 1 of 1 ACTION PAPER We need to set up an organization of conservatives, probably having Hobe Lewis get them together to launch the thing. We should develop a group of eight to ten including Lewis, Jeff Hart, Clare Luce, Billy Graham, etc. The point would be to develop a "Conservatives for the President" group that would support the President down the line from a conservative viewpoint. They would develop letter writing activities, etc., to counter-balance the offensive now being launched in other directions by some of the conservative publications. HRH 8/2/71 ACTION PAPER We should get someone to reprint and mail out the McGinnity article - preferably in its full form when it comes in to me. An ideal person to do this would be Bob Abplanalp - as a successful middle-American who could have read the article and been very impressed with it and mailed it to a broad list of people. It should go from some- one like that who is known to be close to the President, but not from the official staff or organization here. HRH 6/14/71
