RE:
Evening TV Viewing
You may want to watch "A Glimpse of China" at 9:00 p.m.
on Channel 26. It's a discussion on China by Canadian
newsmen Bill Cunningham (who produced and narrates
the report) and Colin McCullouch. (60 minutes)
A Canadian film crew spent 11 days in Canton (under
strict supervision) to provide this view of a regimented
society.
1. A visit to a commune reveals primitive farming
methods and stringent militia training.
2. At a trade fair for Western buyers, Chinese-made
are the prize exhibit.
3. A look at a sewing machine factory includes a workers'
self-criticism session.
4. A propaganda play emphasizesaa unique treatment for
deafness-acupuncture techniques embellished with readings
from Mao.
January 12, 1970
Dear Bob:
I would appreciate your office looking into the operation of the
Western White House. During our last trip out there, some of
the items that we had requested be taken care of still had not
been done. For example, we requested that soundproofing be
done for the President's office, yet only partial measures had
been taken to assure that his office was soundproof. In addition
we had requested that the thermostats be moved to the inside
offices rather than the outer offices for all those offices in the
building with the Presidents.
Shortly after we arrived the President's heating system completely
went out causing his office to remain at a temperature above 80° for
most of the first day that we were there. He was finally forced to
retire to his home when your people were unable to fix it. In
investigating they stated that they had tested the heating system
out a week before and that it had been functioning properly, but
I seriously doubt if this was the case.
There is a failure of those in charge to have an attitude that the job
has to be done and that they're going to do it. The place seems to
be operated for the convenience of those who are supporting the
President's staff and maintaining the buildings rather than for the
convenience of the President and his staff.
I realize that part of the operational difficulties are due to the
truncated responsibility for maintaining various parts of the building
and grounds. If this is the case, the Coast Guard, GSA, and whatever
units are involved, should get together to see that all maintenance
functions take place at times other than during staff working hours
and that preventive maintenance is taken to prevent foul-ups during
the short periods of time when we are there.

One additional point - the problem here, I feel, is one of this
group of people not having previously been put in a position of
dealing with an organisation with the expectations of the Office
of the President. Their attitude is one of "how can we get this
done" rather than "what can I now do to make the operation
better". It is one of waiting to respond to specific requests
rather than figuring out and anticipating what needs to be done,
and then making sure that it is done right the first time.
Sincerely,
H.R. Haldeman
Assistant to the President
Honorable Robert L. Kunzig
Administrator
General Services Administration
Washington, D.C.

Attached is a transcript from Roger Ailes that gives his portion
of a seminar he participated in on September 20 for the American
Association of Political Consultants. Although the material is
interesting, it is hardly anything new and revealing and would
suggest that there is no necessity for your reading this material.
