CHUCK COLSON
FROM:
L. HIGBY
In a discussion with Bob, he noted that none of the major
contenders, i.e., Muskie, Humphrey,oMcGovern, or
Kennedy have come out with any statements with regard to
China.
They always seem to be able to make a comment when some-
thing is yoing wrong with the country, now what has happened
to these great potential leaders of the nation when something
like this has gone right?
Is there anything we can get going here?

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
L. HIGBY
SUBJECT:
Investigation of San Diego as
Possible Convention Site
As a result of your discussion with the Attorney General in
San Diego as a possible Convention site, you may want to
follow-up in talking to Dick Capen.
You will recall that Capen was mentioned as one of those
individuals who perhaps along with Timmons, would informally
check out San Diego as a possibility as the Convention site.
Capen is leaving DOD effective May 1 and plans on Staying there
up to that date.
I don't know if this causes a problem or not, but there was an
indication in your conversation that some preliminary decisions
needed to be made by May 1.
My suggestion would be that I call Bill Timmons and explain
the situation and have him informally talk to Capen to see if
they couldn't get away for a few days -- perhaps a weekend before
May 1 and explore this situation.

MEMORANDUM FOR H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM :
L. HIGBY
SUBJECT:
Colonial Williamsburg
I talked to Carl Humelsine today and confirmed all your
arrangements for Williamsburg. Below is some additional
information about the trip.
Upon arrival at Colonial Williamsburg you should go directly
to the Williamsburg Inn and have a Bellman direct you to the
house you will be staying in for the weekend.
There will be a maid in each morni ng to care for the house
and there is a fully equipped kitchen in the house. Anytime
you should decide to go out to eat, you should just sign
H.R. Haldeman -- Norton-Cole House and that will cover the
bill. To make reservations you should call the operator at
CA 9 - 1500. The operators will be thoroughly aware of your
visit and will make sure you get reservations.
I talked to Ehrlichman's office regarding helicopter service to
Williamsburg. They indicated that John has helicopteded to
Williamsburg twice. One time it was legitimate - he had to
give a speech and was late getting out of here because the
President wanted to talk about something with him. The other
time, Jana believes he transported his family and part of another
family on the premise that he had to make a speech. I am sure
if we asked Hughes he would set up the transportation but I think
we ought to play it by ear on this question for awhile.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
GORDON STRACHAN
FROM:
L. HIGBY
With regard to the attached memo on the 1972 GOP Convention
site -- Haldeman raised this subject the other day in a meeting
with Ed Reinecke -- Lt. Governor of California and Gillenwater
of his office. As a result of that meeting Gillenwater is going
to cause a proposal to be made to the RNC.
Timmons should get inthouch directly with Gillenwater and see
exactly what is happening here and then let you know. In either
case, there is probably not a need now for an immediate trip as
a result of this Haldeman meeting.

MEMORANDUM FOR GORDON STRACHAN
FROM :
L. HIGBY
It seems to me that the methodology you're proposing in your
key states memo on polling is really not sound in order to get
a reading of what the effect of a visit it. You need to poll right
before that visit and then repeat the same poll using the same
questions right afterward. I don't see that you're polling that
here.
What we really should be using the poll for is to get a feeling
for what the key concerns are in key states and then play off those
key concerns in planning the visit - i.e. where we go, and also
what we say while we're there.
This may be a waste of time, but before we drop it completely
it's something that should be considered.
I think you should plan your proposal based on that concept - something
I don't feel that you're doing with the current memorandum you sub mitted.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
GORDON STRACHAN
FROM:
L. HIGBY
As follow-up on a phone conversation Haldeman had with
Herb Kalmbach yesterday afternoon at 5:00 -- please check
with Rose Woods and get Bill Rhyne's phone number for
Herb so Herb can call Rhyne to follow-up.
The Sloan situation was reviewed again and it was finally
agreed that anybody who should be requesting money should
go to Sloan and Sloan in turn would check with you. The
point should be made that there are very few people in here who
have the right to go to Sloan -- only the senior people in certain
offices i.e., Morgan, Colson, Dent, Klein, possibly Magruder.
Cashen and people under Klein do not have the right to go directly
to Sloan, they have to go through their senior person.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
GORDON STRACHAN
FROM:
L. HIGBY
Will you please check immediately with Benham and draft a
response for your signature to H of what the total Republican
and total Conservative verses Lean mean in each of the demo-
graphic breakdowns. As you can see, they don't add up right.
It would be my thought that probably total Republican, total
Democrat and total Independent would add up to something close
to the total number of respondents and the rest would be made
up of "Don't Know", but this isn't indicated there. Check this
out and find out what it means. For our purposes, total Republican
and total Democratiand the same for the Conservative and Liberal,
is all that is necessary plus, of course, the Independent. We don't
need the leaners included on the demographic breakdown, although,
of course, we'd want to ask the question.

In light of the fact that from now on the Identification question
will not be used by Gallup but only the Registration question,
let's have ORC rerun some of our recent data or check some
of our recent data and if it is already in there, find out what
would happen if people were screened only by the fact of
whether or not they were registered, but not by the fact of
whether or not they could identify candidates. See how this
would change the rating on one or two of our surveys.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
GORDON STRACHAN
FROM:
L. HIGBY
As you know, Bob called the Attorney General and did
not discuss the Magruder matter with him.
This whole matter does, however, continue to be a problem.
We should do something so Magruder doesn't feel he has
gotten away with lightly.
For that reason, I would think it best you not talk to
Magruder on this subject.
In addition, you should know that Magruder has been given
an okay by Bob to try and get people transferred over to
the RNC for working on these projects.
The same rule would apply here, however, they should not
go over at an increase in salary.
Hope this is satisfactory.

FROM:

While the attached is Presidential outbox, we should
make sure the following steps are taken:
1. A xerox of the complete package should
befforwarded back to Pat Buchanan 80 that
he can see the President's comments. The comments
are for his information only and he should not assume
to take action until you have talked to him.
2. Next, what we would like to have done is to have
Pat prepare similar memos not only on Muskie, but
the other leading candidates, i.e., Kennedy, Humphrey,
and perhaps McGovern or whoever he feels would be
most appropriate.
In addition you should follow-up specifically on the other points
the President has made in the memo.
Make sure we establish the watch as indicated not only on Muskie
but on the other candidates as I have said; perhaps you should
put a proposal in on how you plan to do this.
If you have any questions about this, see me.
