THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
September 19, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
GORDON STRACHAN S
SUBJECT:
H. Ross Perot
He called you today to ask for a brief meeting with you
tomorrow morning. I told him I would check.
Perot has still not contributed to the 1972 campaign to
re-elect President Nixon, according to Tom Evans. Perot
has called Evans, indicated he wanted to see him about
contributing, but reviewed his laments at length:
1) Perot is "less than enchanted by the treatment
he receives from the White House Staff, but he likes
the President".
2) Perot wants a "signal directly from Haldeman"
as to whether the Administration wants Perot to contri-
bute in light of charges of favoritism, etc. He suggested
to Evans a post-election contribution.
As you may recall from the extensive study done on Perot
in January 1972, he has contributed nothing and received
a great deal. Instead of telling Perot to "put up or
shut up" (a view which Butterfield, Cole, Higby and I
periodically favor), I should advise Perot that you will
not see him but encourage him to meet with Tom Evans.
