Deputy Secretary of Defense Packard has, according to
his own commitment, said he will give away some
$18 million earned by his firm, while he was in office
here; any chance we can get together with him on how
that money is spent, for "charitable" purposes.
Paul Simpson, who runs that television project down
in Nashville would like a slice of the cake. Can we
get to Packard any way to indicate that Simpson's and
perhaps some others are "worthwhile" causes.

SUBJECT:
Odds and Ends Accumulated
Over the Weekend
1. One item that needs to be fully and carefully explored is the fact
that Larry O'Brien was on retainer by Howard Hughes and probably
still is. Also, Hubert Humphrey's son-in-law worked for Hughes.
We should really try and stir this up since there was such a big stink
made about the Nixon loan situation.
2. Ray Price should take the last part of the State of the Union, the
proration part, and smooth it out and put it together to be used as a
series of quotes in the speaker's ldt that is sent out to all our speakers.
Also, there should be an analysis done of the last three State of the
Unions taking quotes out of each of them that are usable in the speaker's
kit. The speakers should be able to refer to them as, "President Nixon
said "
3. We should also try and move the line out that this written State of
the Union was the most comprehensive document a President has ever
presented to Congress and this was made possible by the President's
unique approach of delivering a brief State of the Union and also giving
Congress a comprehensive written document, etc.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
L. HIGBY
Is it really that good of an idea to turn the Vice President loose
on Muskle this early in the campaign season? I know the rhetoric
about the fact that we have got to stop him now if we are going to
stop him at all and that Florida is our best chance, but it seems
to me that we are moving quickly into the confrontation that ex-
isted in '70. I wonder if the press just isn't waiting for something
like that.
For Angew to come out and blast Muside this weekend on his
bussing stand is a signal to start the old grind again. While
having a Senator do this, certainly doesn't get as much play
nationally, if we schedule one of our good Senators heavily
into Florida, wouldn't the net effect be equally as good?

The Nofziger Replacement at the

Per your approval, I asked Malek to begin looking for prospective
candidates to fill the Nofziger position and this is under way.
You indicated, however, in a meeting before we left for San Clemente
your desire to discuss this matter with the Attorney General.
As you can see from the attached memo, Colson feels that it is
extremely important that we get the appropriate individual in posi-
tion at the RNC and that a clear understanding be worked out as to
what the operating relationships will be.
There are several ways that this can be handled, but your guidance
is needed:
Malek or Colson can try and put the whole thing through
if that is your desire and perhaps will be successful.
Another way, one that I would recommend, is for you to
talk to the Attorney General as planned on the subject of
a Nofziger replacement and that in your conversation you
request that he talk with Dole. If the Attorney General
agrees, we can then move Malek and his operation into
high gear to secure the appropriate individual.
If you choose my recommendation, a talking paper is attached for
your discussion with the Attorney General.

Colson stopped by to report that he will not have the lists of key

but says the little states where we only asked for one or two
people, call for individual step-checks from several people in
every state and this simply cannot be done in time.
For your information, Colson had his people working on this over
the weekend, but they still are not completed.
I have told Chuck to forward the fifteen key states lists for the

One item that needs to be fully and carefully explored is the fact\nthat Larry O'Brien was on retainer by Howard Hughes and probably\nstill is. Also, Hubert Humphrey's son-in-law worked for Hughes.\nWe should really try and stir this up since there was such a big stink\nmade about the Nixon loan situation.\n2. Ray Price should take the last part of the State of the Union, the\nproration part, and smooth it out and put it together to be used as a\nseries of quotes in the speaker's ldt that is sent out to all our speakers.\nAlso, there should be an analysis done of the last three State of the\nUnions taking quotes out of each of them that are usable in the speaker's\nkit. The speakers should be able to refer to them as, \"President Nixon\nsaid \"\n3. We should also try and move the line out that this written State of\nthe Union was the most comprehensive document a President has ever\npresented to Congress and this was made possible by the President's\nunique approach of delivering a brief State of the Union and also giving\nCongress a comprehensive written document, etc.\nLH:kb\nDETERMINED TO BE AN\nADMINISTRATIVE MARKING\nE.O. 12065, Section 6-102\nCONFIDENTIAL\nBy B.Joyner NARS, Date 3-26-82\nJanuary 18, 1972\nADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL\nMEMORANDUM FOR: MR.

I know the rhetoric\nabout the fact that we have got to stop him now if we are going to\nstop him at all and that Florida is our best chance, but it seems\nto me that we are moving quickly into the confrontation that ex-\nisted in '70. I wonder if the press just isn't waiting for something\nlike that.\nFor Angew to come out and blast Muside this weekend on his\nbussing stand is a signal to start the old grind again. While\nhaving a Senator do this, certainly doesn't get as much play\nnationally, if we schedule one of our good Senators heavily\ninto Florida, wouldn't the net effect be equally as good?\nLH:kmt\nJanuary 10, 1972\nADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nH.

If the Attorney General\nagrees, we can then move Malek and his operation into\nhigh gear to secure the appropriate individual.\nIf you choose my recommendation, a talking paper is attached for\nyour discussion with the Attorney General.\nJanuary 7, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR H.R.

He will have the lists for the top fifteen states,\nbut says the little states where we only asked for one or two\npeople, call for individual step-checks from several people in\nevery state and this simply cannot be done in time.\nFor your information, Colson had his people working on this over\nthe weekend, but they still are not completed.\nI have told Chuck to forward the fifteen key states lists for the\nPresident's review today and he has assured me this will be\ndone.\nLH:kb"
