ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. CHARLES COLSON
FROM:
H. R. HALDEMAN
Hallett's memorandum analysing the Broder/Johnson series was, as
you now know, not only very helpful, but very interesting to the President.
It seems to me it would now be equally helpful and constructive to ask
Hallett to do a basic political critique of our current Campaign strategy
as he **** it and his thoughts as to what it ought to be.
He specifically should direct himself to the question of what the President
should personally be doing, his use of press conferences, television
appearances, and so forth. He should approach this both from a critical
viewpoint as to his evaluation as to what we are doing or what be thinks we
are doing, and also from a creative viewpoint in terms of what he thinks
we ought to do.

ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. DAVID N. PARKER
FROM:
H. R. HALDEMAN
SUBJECT:
Political Appearances by
Mrs. Nizon, Julie and Tricia
We should proceed with the idea of having Tricia and Julie, and
Mrs. Nixon for very major events, go to political affairs around
the country. The way to handle this is to always have a Cabinet
Officer or other good speaker on the program. The presence of
Tricia, Julie or Mrs. Nixon will hype the publicity to an enormous
degree.
Julie has worked out a very good formula where she does a T.V.
interview in each case and Mrs. Nixon and Tricia should follow
suit. In Mrs. Nixon's case, the big receptions are probably also
a good idea, particularly out in the hinterlands because they mean
a great deal to people who are not in Washington.
In order for all of this to be successful, however, we need to move
now in beefing up the staff work in scheduling better events for Julie,
Tricia and Mrs. Nixon about the country.
This is top priority and you should move on it immediately. Please
give me a report of your progress by noon this Friday.
001 Mr. Dwight L. Chapin
