ACTION MEMO
6/29
The basic theme should be gotten out of our fear of an all out
liberal media support for McGovern. Our concern is that this
will be even more intensive than the liberal media support for
Humphrey in 1968 as was pointed out in the Efron book.
We, therefore, are forgetting about our position in the polls because
we look at what the media did to Nixon and for Humphrey last time
around, and recognize that it can, and undoubtedly will, be done again
this time.
This would be ideal material for a Buckley, Kevin Phillips, or
Lasky column.

ACTION MEMO
Clawson should develop a plan for a wire service and/or
a network man or a columnist to write a letter to every
member of the Senate saying that in view of the charges
that IT&T has done favors for the Senators, I believe
that it's important to clear the record and I would,
therefore, appreciate your response to the two following
questions.
1. Have you ever had a contribution to any of your campaigns
from an officer of IT&T or any of its subsidiaries. If so,
when and in what amount?
2. Have you ever accepted any transportation or complimentary
hotel facilities from IT&T or any of its subsidiaries?
Any answers that are received on this could then be used
in a column but obviously it'll be ignored by a number
of Senators and those who decline to answer should be
listed in the column.

ACTION MEMO
Secretary Rogers has suggested that for campaign purposes, our
approach to Blacks might be most effective by going via the Black
celebrities who are for us. He was especially impressed with Sammy
Davis, Jr. 's reaction to his visit to the White House and the great
mileage we've gotten from Pearl Bailey.
We should be starting now, of course, to line up celebrities and put
out some public announcements of celebrity support.
We also need to answer the question of who is handling sport celebrities
at this time.
