MEMORANDUM
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
January 27, 1971
MEMOR ANDUM FOR :
MR. CHAPIN
FROM :
L. HIGBY
L
Dole called Bob the other day concerning Ernie Minor.
Apparently Ernie would like to meet with Dole - the Senator
guesses to get a job at the Republican National Committee.
Bob would like to get a reading from you on Ernie - his
potential and whether or not he's somebody we'd want to
move over there, and if so, into which area.
I know you're busy so just give me a call on this one rather
than dictate a reply if you would prefer.

HIGH PRIORITY
MEMORANDUM FOR :
MURRAY CHOTINER
HARRY DENT
FROM :
L. HIGBY
Bob asked that you call those Chairmen of our key states
i. e. John Andrews, and ask them what they thought about
the President's speech on the "Open Door". In talking to
them you should try to stress the significance of the "Open
Door" remarks and the fact that we are bedoming the party
of the Open Door.
Also, you should ask for their reaction on the reception that
the President held the other evening for Party officials and
emphasize to them--and ask them in turn--to emphasize the
positive tone of this gathering.

MEMORANDUM FOR: MR. HARRY DENT
FROM:
L. HIGBY
Bob asked that I return this to you. The President
has indicated to him that he does not want detailed
political reports on specific states but only marginal
type information. Therefore, he asked that I return
this to you.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
L. HIGBY
You asked that I check with Ed Morgan on Moore's
specific project. Below they are listed together with
his response:
1.
Former Governors now in Congress --
he will have to check on this, but Timmons
is handling it.
2.
Former Governors throughout the country --
it is his understanding after talking with John
this morning that Morgan should call Rockefeller's
Aid with regard to this project and they will be
sending it up. He has a call in to Rockefeller's
Aid, but has been unable to reach him so far.
3.
Present Governors the VP staff is working
this, but he has not received a reply from them
yet.
4.
List of Mayors and county executives -- the
Vice President staff is working on this but
has not gotten anything down to him yet.
I also passed on th him the fact that Rockefeller
is moving ahead at a rapid rate and setting up
his Citizen's operation and considering naming
Scranton the head. I informed him that the
President feels that Lausche or Ellington should
probably be named co-Chairman along with
Scranton and that some other Democrats should
also be included. He took note of this information
and said he would get on it.
2
Irealize that none of the information listed above is very
satisfactory. but it is the best that Morgan has at this
time. I will call him again this afternoon if he does not
call me and get an up date for you.

MEMORANDUM FOR :
ROB ODLE
FROM :
L. HIGBY
With regard to the parchment that we want to send out to
the Republican National Committee on the Open Door, the
revised statement that goes to final print should read as
follows:
The Party of the Open Door
"Our party has great principles, principles that are far
b
bigger than the Republican Party. They are as big as all of
America itself. But our party will not grow unless it is a party
of the open door, open to all people, all people who share our
want to
principles, who work with us for the betterment of America and
the betterment of the world.
Ours should be a party of the open door, open to all people,
all parties, all faiths, all races. That is the kind of party that
we are and that we shall be in the years ahead."
From extemporaneous remarks of President Richard M. Nixon
at the Dedication of the Eisenhower Republican Center, Washington,
D.C. January 15, 1971.
