TALKING PAPER - GEORGE BUSH
John Mitchell thinks that Wilson would be a big mistake from
the Brock point of view - also from the idea of putting three
Southerners on the Committee - you, Dent, and Wilson. Also,
that he's not buttoned down sufficiently. He strongly recommends
Middendorf who would do a much better job in his opinion.

TALKING PAPER - BUSH
The President feels strongly that there should be no discussion
or work on the 1976 election until after 1974. Everyone should
concentrate now on 1974 and neither the White House nor the
Committee should provide any aid or comfort to anyone in terms
of 1976 interests.
Also, you should tout Wilson off of the fund-raising dinner idea -
try to save the effort and use it in other directions.

- not buttoned don

TALKING PAPER -- ATTORNEY GENERAL
To make a long story short, as I am sure you are aware, there
have been numerous problems in dealing with Nofziger and
the RNC in making the appartus under his control effective
in support of the White House and the President (list attached,
Tab A).
Unless you have any objection, I would like to suggest that
Malek find a suitable replacement for Nofziger, now that he
is departing, who would be willing to work effectively
with the White House and, of course, the Re-election Committee
at 1701.
The individual Malek comes up with, of course, would be
subject to your approval but, hopefully, we would be able to
work directly with the White House staff in getting done many
of the items the President requests without the inordinate
amount of obstructionism and confusion that has taken place
in the past -- particularly with regard to the publication
of Monday.
Note: Cliff Miller may have discussed the Attorney General's
views on the Nofziger replacement with you in California.
Miller believes the Attorney General is planning to have
Nofziger go to California now to set up the California
campaign organization and after a reasonable amount of time
-2-
in California Nofziger would be returned to Washington,
presumably in the Deputy Chairman spot at the RNC. This
temporary tour in California for Nofziger may be attempted
by the Attorney General because Nofziger organizational
ability is so limited. Miller doubts this plan of the
Attorney General's will work because Nofziger has moved
so aggressively in California.

Meeting with George Bush - January 5. 1973
Introduction: Meeting being held at Bush's request. Opportunity for
you to emphasize several basic points about structure of new RNC.
RNC Mission: Currently involved in Party affairs. Mission must
be redefined as follows:
a.
Selection now of 75 winnable House seats and
10 Senate seats,
b.
Active recruitment by Bush and other of our candidates
for those seats,
C.
Coordination of active assistance over the next two years
by the Party and the Administration to assure that we win
their seats.
:
Coordination with the House and Senate campaign committees
as indicated in the Brock plan to assure the above.
:
Coordination with the White House in the production of mailings,
speaking materials, etc. in support of the organization.
:
Broadening still further the basis of the Republican Party and
inclusion of elements of the New Majority.
Personnel:
:
Development of a lean, highly skilled Headquarters' staff
to handle the needs at Headquarters while beefing up the field
operation to insure top-flight, grass root organization across the
country. Need to embrace some of the '72 State organization
from the Re-election Committee.
--
Need to select new personnel that have not alienated any faction
of the party. In line with this Allison and Trelevan are not
acceptable. Lias should not be a Deputy but would be acceptable
as Bush's A.A.
:
Eleanor Williams should be removed.
:
Need to take a hard look at current staff and their salary levels.
--
Dent for Counsel: Colson - Special Counsel.
:
Rollins - Finance Chairman.
Structure:
Proposal -- 3 Deputies to handle 3 primary areas of business:
:
Deputy for Staff in Washington. (Women?)
--
Deputy for Field Operations.
:
Deputy for '74 Election.
General:
:
Work with Malek on flading appropriate personnel. H has
directed that Malek be available to Bush on top priority for
personnel. Also, Malek and Magruder have extensive files
on the '72 organization.
