Several points that you undoubtedly aren't aware of but should be
regarding the attached, including the point of Haldeman's reply --
You apparently only glanced at this memo rather than reading it with
understanding as "any good lawyer would".
1. The Colson memo dated February 3 was attached
as backup to the Buchanan memo when it went into
Haldeman. So as a hopefully "good staff man", I think
Haldeman had the facts when he reviewed the paper
from Buchanan.
2. The point of the reply is that Haldeman agrees with
Buchanan, particularly his last sentence, "We need a
few more Perceys and Brookes and John Sherman
Coopers to hit Muskle as irresponsibly left. " If
there is any misunderstanding on what he agrees with,
I hope this clears up that point.
3. Too bad the issue of Tony Smith got in the way of
getting something done on this one, but I guess that's
the breaks; "pure shit" or not.

Just got a call from an old friend, Tony Smith, Barry Goldwater's
AA. He maintains that he, the Goldwater staff, and even the
Senator himself, are increasingly irritated by the nature of the
statements sent down there from the White House -- for Barry to
say and the frequency of the demands made upon him by the
White House. Tony realizes that we end run him all the time to
go directly to the Senator; but indicated to me that the Senator
himself is getting dismayed by the frequency and nature of the
attack he is asked to launch. Their view is that we have a long
way to go in this campaign, that the Muskie attacks are going to
get worse, and that we should not react to each of them in a tough
fashion, SO early in the game. In my view, there is something to
what he says. To hammer Muskie continually from the Right is to
establish his credentials with both Center and Left. My judgment
is that what we need are a few more Percys and Brookes and
John Sherman Coopers to hit Muskie as irresponsibly left.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
L. HIGBY
SUBJECT:
The Attached Paper on
Staff Operations for Chuck Colson
Fred Malek fully endorees Chuck Colson's paper and suggests that you
approve it. He feels it fits in perfectly with his plans here at the White
House for politicising the government, etc.
Kehrli and I have a few points that you may at least want to raise with
Chuck prior to approving his changes,
1. If you approve Colson's memo, which you have basically
given Chuck license to do (though he has already done It to
some extent) is set up a campaign organization here at the
White House. This is not necessarily all bad, but you should
be aware that is what is occuridge.
2. I agree with Colson that Des Barker does need an assistant,
however, hopefully he will pick a senior rather than a junior
man to work with him; preferably somebody in the $20,000 to
$25,000 range -- non-commissioned.
3. One of the main problems we have been unable to solve in
a lot of the areas, is the need for a "star" and Colson should
be looking for a "star" in each area.
4. With regard particularly to youth, is it really worth having
a youth man here at the White House? Probably so, but one
could make an honest argument that we get a lot more votes by
getting another man in here to work on aging problems and
writing off youth completely. Nonetheless, for cosmetic appearances
I suppose you need a youth man here. Once again, if
we could find someone who was a "star" it would be
helpful. This individual should be brought in at the
$20,000 to $25, 000 level once again.
5. Regarding labor, Chuck raises the problem of no
political apparatus at the Department of Labor. He should
be instructed to give this problem to Malek and have him
work on it immediately. He also indicates that one of Bill's
primary activities now is to get some sort of a labor organiza-
tion built over at 1701. I would argue that this is ridiculous.
This is something they should be doing and suggest you send
a memorandum to Mitchell with a copy to Magruder immediately
getting this underway.
6. The gentleman Colson is trying to hire for the ethnic
Catholic area Mr. Mike Balzano -- is the individual who
wrote the original report for the ethnic area that went to the
Attorney General and you. You did not look very favorably on
this report, saying that it was very idealistic and really didn't
grasp a lot of the basic issues. Several questions should be
asked here. First of all, can one man handle birth the ethnic
and Catholic areas. Secondly, do we want that man to be here
rather than at 1701. Perhaps Colson sees this exercise more
as a pressure building activity to make sure something is going
rather than waiting for 1701 to come along. If so, that is fine
and Balzano should be approved.
I agree with Malek that Balzano should be detailed over here at
least to get this effort going. Kehrll does not concur.
7. Mel Stephens did do an excellent job in the veterans area, as
well as working in the youth area as you will recall from last
summer. The problem in veterans is that we have still been
unable to get a "star" and Stephens is not a "star". One of
Stephens' first assignments should be to get someone who we
can get out in front on this issue. We have done a number of
excellent things for veterans but have been unable to get a spokesman
who can attractively articulate what we are doing.
3
8. With regard to Scali, Colson makes the statement that
Scali is holding up his side of the operation. You are probably
in the best area than anyone to judge whether or not that is the
case. However, your comment about Scali worrying too much
about substance and not enough about presentation and selling
could probably be reemphasized.
Summary:
Colson has built his operation on a "catch as catch can" basis, eking
out the best out of what was available. You might want to consider as
an alternative having Colson really find top-flight men for the really
important areas where work needs to be done. I would suggest the best
way to handle this would be to wait until Malek has a week or so to develop
his plan and then present him with this very same point. Isn't there really
some way we can get top-flight men working in each of these areas rather
than stretching as thin as possible and thus ending up with George Bell
handling labor, a 24 year-old handling aging, etc. If we have agreed to the
concept that a skeleton campaign operation should be set up here under
Colson, then we might as well have it staffed with the best people possible.

I have had an opportunity to discuss with Bob the subject
of aids in carrying out your new responsibilities and he
reports the following:
1) Positioning with the President With regard to meeting
with the President, that will be up primarily to how
Mitchell and Bob are able to work and, as I am sure you
are aware, will be on a specific basis rather than as a
general policy;
2) With regard to the idea of the twice monthly written
report, Bob says that this report should come to him to
discuss with appropriate members of the White House Staff,
rather than to the President;
3) With regard to the 8:15 meeting, this should be no
problem, John Mitchell should simply request of Bob that
you be included in the 8:15 meeting and once this request
is made Bob will try his best to accommodate you,
4) With regard to a*tendance at Cabinet meetings, this is
also no problem and you should inform Alex that you should
attend now as part of a new policy;
5) Regarding the A Car List, this simply cannot be done
at this time;
6) With regard to the Conference Dining Room, there is no
problem here and this should be done on the same basis
as Colson, i.e., it is available to you when you need to
use it for purely business reasons.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
FRED MALEK
FROM:
L. HIGBY
The attached is forwarded to you for your information as
to how one man views the operation currently going on at
1701. For obvious reasons, I have removed the addressee,
although it is not too difficult to figure out who it is.
I would appreciate your not showing this to anyone else
but thought you might be interested in it simply as one
man's view point of some things that need to be done.
LH:1m
This is none of my business but I have very serious concerns that
the organizational effort at 1701 is not being properly coordinated
with the RNC organizational effort. I am sure that this is something
that the AG will straighten out as soon as he is on board, but at the
moment the situation is not healthy.
Teddy White observed in a conversation with a mutual friend a few
weeks ago that we were making precisely the same mistake that
Johnson made, that we were allowing the RNC to wither on the
vine and that our Presidential campaign effort is in effect trying to
take over all organizational effort for Independents, Democrats
and Republicans. White pointed out that the party organizational
effort can increase the turnout of party faithful by 4 - 5 percentage
points. With a well organized Republican effort, we might get 76
percent of the registered Republicans to the polls and without that
effort the number might be 72 percent. I don't know how valid the
statistics are, but that is the example that White used.
I've always marveled at the way Len Hall structured the 1956 campaign.
The Citizens' effort was totally separate from the organized party
effort. The Citizens' Committee went after Independents and Democrats -
and the party machinery had the sole task of producing the Republican
vote. From what I have learned of the operation at 1701, it is being
geared up to organize the entire effort Republican as well as Demo-
crat and Independent.
If this is true, what will inevitably happen is that tried and true party
workers will be neglected. We simply do not have the capacity - no
one does to set up organization structures that duplicates the
2.
established party structure. As a result the State Committee member
or County Chairman in Pinellas County, Florida, for example, will
feel neglected if he is not brought into the Nixon effort. He may be a
complete dud we may not want him. On the other hand, it is better
to have him feel that he is performing perhaps for the National
Committee - than to feel that he is simply being left out of the action.
In short, the two efforts have to complement one another, not be dupli-
cating or competing for the same constituencies.
This is a very basic, fundamental and simple point but I am not sure
from what I hear that it is clearly understood. The Nixon operation
should coordinate the two. The Citizens should have one clear assign-
ment and the RNC, another clear assignment and only at the top of
either the State or National organization does someone try to oversee
that both are performing their mission.
My fears could be totally unfounded and based on ignorance. I do get
a lot of isolated reports from around the country, however, that (a)
the Republican organization is not gearing up; (b) that a lot of the
faithful feel neglected; and (c) that we are dealing in many cases
through some party leaders in some states, but ignoring others.
There's room for everybody. All of the regular party workers can
feel very much involved with the job of turning out the Republican
vote and the Nixon leaders can concentrate a Citizens' effort on the
non-Republican vote.
I have been discussing many things of late with the Attorney General.
I have deliberately not raised this point, although I have been sorely
tempted to do so, because I think I might be straining my new relation-
ship with him. I think he would quite correctly feel that I was butting
into his affairs in an area of no concern to me.
If in your mind, the point has any validity, I would hopę that someone
would take a hard look at it.

Recruiting of Top People in the Country
The attached is just a progress report, but I think it confirms the fact
that significant efforts are being made in getting hold of the top people
around the country and being ready to test them. If you were to hold
your dinner right now with the top ten people we have locked on to so
far, the attached list
by Fred Malek would be the one you
would use. Fred says that Dwight's list is not that good. He is operat-
ing under the handicap of not having seen several of the people (you will
note there is only the agreement of one name between the two lists).
As Fred has indicated, the project is approximately two-thirds complete
and should be wrapped-up in approximately one month.
In addition to this, Fred is also operating another long-range effort
which is to locate the top two or three specialists in specific areas
that, while not necessarily suitable in the Campaign, could be very
useful later on, i.e., financial experts, labor negotiators, etc.
In addition to setting up a couple of dinners for you with these top
people on the outside, Fred has also suggested that we try a similar
meeting with those top ten people on the inside. I agree the idea may
have some merit and have asked him to forward to you a list of who
he feels those people are.

SUBJECT:
Top Ten Advance Men Candidates
Ibelieve there are several reasons for Chapin's and my differing on
our selection of the top 10 Advance Men. These reasons are:
1. Chapin interviewed only 6 of those on my list - Berthold,
Brown, Falsgraf, McArthur, Tambor, and Wegmiller.
2. Chapin's list included three from the Government (Searby,
Walker, and Webber) whereas we had purposely excluded
people now in the Government. Even if we had not excluded
them, however, Imust admit that I would not have placed
those three in the top 10.
3. It is quite likely that Dwight is using a slightly different
set of criteria. He is probably reporting to you on who he
thinks the best Advancemen would bc. My list contains
those who are the 10 people who would be good Advancemen
and top candidates for Assistant Secretary level positions
later on. Therefore, I have put more emphasis on estab-
lished track records.
In any case, I am not sure Dwight and I are that far off. My list of the
second 10 would include all of those on his list except for Searby, Hart,
and Hogan. Let me know if you need any more on this.

Progress to Date on the Selection

For your information, the following is a progress report on our efforts

To date, the program is approximately two-thirds complete. We have
screened 1002 resumes, initially interviewed 382 people around the country,
invited 44 candidates into Washington for interviews with Walker, Chapin
and myself and selected 36 of those invited. Their names, titles, ages
and locations are listed at Tab A. Of those selected, 5 are currently in
the Government, 11 are attorneys, 17 are businessmen, 2 are from the
military, and 1 is a Hospital Administrator.

I think it would be excellent to follow through on your initial idea of inviting
these men to meet with you in two groups of five each. Please let me know
if and when you would like this arranged. It would be helpful to them and,
I believe, beneficial to you in terms of learning their views and gaining a
more direct view of what is available to the President.
The program has identified a number of other outstanding candidates who
should also prove to be excellent candidates for key posts after the election,
As an added payout, those who were not selected have been referred to the
Campaign Committee for utilization, on a part-time, voluntary basis, in
the state campaign organizations. They should provide each state organi-
zation with a good group of volunteers upon which to build their teams.
We project that the entire program will be completed by the end of February.
This date is later than originally anticipated but the delay was due to schedu-
ling problems on arranging interviews with all concerned parties in Washing-
ton.
Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

CONFIDENTIAL RESUME:
Henry Trigen
OBJECTIVE:
Currently - President Siftware sroup
renew Housenvares Coys
Vice-president of Finance and/or Administration, or key interím cor-
porate financial position in profit oriented multi-million dollar firm.
EXPERIENCE:
Summer 1966 to Present
Billion Dollar Multinational Consumer Products Producer - Controller.
Within a corporate framework, direct the Groups' world-wide finance,
planning, systems, control and audit activities. Over my three year
period in key financial management positions, the Group grew 20% per
annum or nearly $200 million. Profitability performance improved even
more significantly, despite a doubling of capital and development invest-
ment. Report to President and manage staff of eighty five with a two
million dollar budget, as well as twenty-one subsidiaries' line financial
organizations - totaling over one thousand with budgets of some fifteen
million dollars. In addition to the normal Group Controllership respon-
sibilities suggested by the title, a considerable amount of my activities
have been directed to broader areas. Some of those activities and ac-
complishments are provided below.
Strategic Planning. Participated in the concepts and directed the devel-
opment of the Groups' initial world-wide future plan. Program became
the basis for similar effort at the corporate level and other Groups.
After establishing the groups' objectives, policies and procedures; co-
ordinated the research of priorities and resources, and directed the
evaluation of subsidiaries' plans.
Financing. Participated in various phases of planning and/or negotiating
more than $100 million in working capital, debt, and equity needs. Rec-
ommended dividend policies, technical service fees, intercompany pric-
ing and credit terms; attempting to optimize international restrictions
and devaluations with our business growth priorities and resources,
Initiated a reappraisal of cash planning activities, exposures, and capital
structure of operating subsidiaries. As a result of the above, in conjune-
tion with corporate-wide efforts, the political, economic, and monetary
crises of the past few years had a minimal impact on our operations.
Treasury Services. Established an economic analysis function and a
reference library, which provides timely interpreted political, economic,
financial, competitive, and commodity data to key management. Initiated
a group-wide insurance survey which revealed that many facilities and
operations had it significant exposure. Through corporate staff and out-
side brokers, exposure was reduced by more than half at substantially
2
the same annual expense and the remainder self insured. As a part of
our tax planning activities, we merged, liquidated, or recapitalized sev-
eral subsidiaries; we re-examined intercompany sourcing, and our ac-
counting policies to optimize our utilization of tax losses and foreign tax
credits, within our corporate legal and tax structure,
Acquisitions. Participated in the development of an acquisition policy,
proceedures, and program. Directed, coordinated, or participated in
various phases of the program from initial market and financial surveys
through the actual assimilation of business acquired. Seven businesses
totaling more than $50 million actually were approved and effectively
integrated.
Systems. Established a headquarters' information systems function to
standardize, co-ordinate, consult, and advise on the Groups' total sys-
tems efforts. Total hardware and support is presently budgeted at more
than two million dollars and is expected to double in three years. We
are converting several first or second generation equipment installations
into eight standardized third generation systems. Directed the develop-
ment of a project control scheme, which segregated each project into
controllable and meaningful phases and resulted in greater management
understanding and involvement. Participated in the application of cor-
porate operations research skills to Group's planning, evaluation and
control activities; covering new product introductions, capital invest-
ment, and profit planning activities.
Audits. Refined operational and financial audit program to cover all
subsidiaries, implement tighter but selective controls, and provide more
meaningful management information. This was accomplished at minimal
incremental expense and business interruption through definition of re-
sponsibilities and stratification of priorities of the public accountants,
corporate audit group, our own staff, and the development of a reporting
structure.
Organization Planning Development. Over the period, the Group's finan-
cial function was totally restructured, appropriately staffed, and revital-
ized. A number of activities were computerized or efficiently consoli-
dated with corporate departments or field subsidiaries. Through pro-
fessional recruiting and intensified development seminars, the upgrading
was accomplished within previous manpower and expense levels, despite
an expansion of the function's activities and the needs of a growing busi-
ness. Have also participated in organizational task forces, both within
the group and at the corporate level, which through a more meaningful
definition of functional responsibilities have resulted in improved com-
munication and better utilization of limited manpower resources.

Manager - Financial Planning and Analysis. Reported to Controller,
and managed staff of twenty-five professionals. Specific responsibilities
entailed directing the development of policies and procedures within the
profit and capital planning structure; participation in the review and ap-
praisal of subsidiaries plans and performance; and initiation of special
financial analyses or advisory services for subsidiaries. Particular ac-
complishments include.
Profit Planning and Control. Totally reassessed the corporate and
subsidiary reporting requirements and negotiated the elimination of
nearly half of the former redundant structure. As a result we were
able to shift available resources toward developing sounder initial
plans, analyzing major variations or exceptions; identifying alter-
nate strategies, opportunities or risks; and providing more timely,
succinct, and relevant data for each level of management. In addi-
tion, to improved pertinent decision making, peripheral gains were
improved communication, job satisfaction, and output per dollar of
expenditure.
Capital Investments. Administered program covering over 100
major expenditures, totaling over $30,000,000, annually. Developed
a detailed program covering administrative procedures, evaluations,
and post-audit control. This significantly improved both the subsidi-
ary and staff decision making abilities, as well as the control of
actual expenditures. Co-ordinated or participated in the evaluation
and recommendation of some twenty acquisitions, ventures, licensing
and development propositions.
Accounting Policies and Controls. Provided guidance to subsidiar-
ies in the interpretation and application of corporate policies and
procedures. Directed the installation of corporate chart of accounts
as well as the development of direct standard cost and internal con-
trol systems.

budget of $250,000. Responsible for all phases of marketing research;

Involved in defining market size and characteristics for sales forecast-
ing of product and area volume budgets. Specific projects included new
product development, price/volume elasticity analyses, computerization
of volume forecasting, and development of a marketing model to optimize
volume/profit performance.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
CHARLES COLSON
SUBJECT:
Victor Lasky Book
I have had Doug Hallett review the Lasky manuscript and he has
provided me with some extensive comments which are contained
in the attached memorandum to me. I tried twice over the week-
end to read the book. I got through the first 60 pages in depth
and fell asleep -- a reflection both on my condition over the week-
end and also on the quality of Lasky's writing. I had a great many
more detailed comments than Hallett. I then made a second go at
skimming the book and found that it had precisely the same effect
on me. It is so incredibly detailed with things that may be
interesting to Lasky and to the particular participants of the
particular episode but the reader will find himself immersed in
rather dull, detailed discussions that don't relate together well.
What Lasky has done to this is like taking someone's diary and
then expanding it in enormous detail. It would be fascinating to
the author of the diary, but dull as hell to anyone else.
On the other side of the coin, it is a worthwhile historical compen-
dium. It might be read by some of our more faithful followers.
Portions of it could be of value, I suppose for campaign purposes.
At least it can be said that it is a solidly pro-Nixon account of the
Administration.
If we want the book published, that is, if we feel the need for such a
book, then one of our people should be assigned on a crash basis to
go through it with Lasky, editing it down viciously (it needs to be cut
2.
by at least 1/3 to 1/2). Points which Hallett has made and some which
I have made in the margins need to be cleaned up and the book needs
to have some central theme or feeling developed. I think this could
be done, but it would take a massive reorganization. That's the
only way I can see it turning into a respectable book that can be
honestly marketed and be of real value to us politically. I suppose
either Safire or Buchanan, if they have the time, could do this.
I suspect Safire could do it the fastest if he can be spared from other
things.
It may be an overly harsh judgment on my part because I have not
read it page by page, but I have gotten enough of a feel of it that I am
convinced that it needs substantial rework -- editing way down,
beefing up the ending and trying to work in some kind of a theme.
My recommendation, if you concur, is that either Safire or Buchanan
be given the task to see if in the next week or 10 days that can be
accomplished working with Lasky. If it can, fine. If it can't, let's
junk it.

FROM DOUG HALLETT
DAH
RE. Lasky Book
The book is a pretty good campaign piece and hopefully will be recognized
as such. If it is pla yed as a serious book, I don't think it will go over too
well The book is discursive analytical and nover critical of the
President - that makes it kind OI boring after a while, but it will be good stuff
for our supporters to feed on, and those whe the only people who really read
this stuff. The reviewers will deal with this book in the same way they dealt
with the Drury book. Evident throughout is that Lasky had access both to
the President and to the minutes of the cabinet mcetings - I can anticipate
a few people accusing him of being available only to such people - but, then,
why should he open his records to opponents? All in all, I thi nk we should
go ahead with the project and try to help Lasky get it placed.
That said, there are a few places which require decisions from you. I
assume we have some control over the book. The following lists those parts
of the book I caught while scanning it which you might want to look over:
Run
Page 5 - Do we want the President to say L. A. bores him?
Page 6 - Lasky's reference to the N. Y. bar essay the President wrote when
he moved to N. Y.C. could be rewored to make it clear that the bar examiners,
not the President, wanted it released.
Page 11 - God, it took him only 11 pages to get Chuck Colson in.
Page 12 - Let's not use the word "rap" - it sounds fairly weak.
Page 17 - Do we want the President to think that the Democrats were "unfairly"
criticizing LBJ on the war without making clear the President's own difference.
Page 23 - Joking about the "pink sheets" from the Douglas campaign might
offend some people.
Oath
The tone of this chapter bothers me a bit. There's kind of an amateurish
quality to the start of the administration which comes through. In particular,
there's a lot of joking, a lot of obvious generalization, and a lot of references
to politics. You should read this.
Page 28 - Do we want John Gardner to say favorable things about RMN?
Asia
Page 1 - I don't think we think (at least not now) that the President ought to
be positioned in such a way that 19673 was the first year in which he had doubts
about the war. As in the first chapter, I think we want to make clear that the
President had extensive differences with the Kennedy-Johnson approach long
before 1967.
Page 27 - Criticism of the press you ought to look at.
Method
Page 24 - Praise of Philadelphia Plan deserves a look.
Viet
This chapter bothers me, too. The President is always making one-line
jokes. I like the idea of showing that he has a comfortable, easy way of
doin g business, but I think we ought to make him just abit more serious.
Return
Page 4 - Criticism of the South Vietnamese leadership which I'm sure
Kissinger would want deleted.
Home
Page 5-6 - Do we want to brag about having Rogers Morton attend Cabinet
meetings as Chairman of the RNC?
Economy
Page 22 - References to influencing the actions of the regulatory agencies
deserves your attention
Page 23 - Anti-trust policy
Page 25 - I don't think we want to tell the American people that the President
signs things he hasn't read.
Break
Page 3 - Another reference to the Philadelphia Plan - favorable
Report
Page 20 - Let's get Chuck Colson out of thi S.
Page 21 - We might not want 10 use this Max Lerner quote which brings
up Rockefeller's behavior when Pompidou visited New York and terms
Rocky an old enemy of the President.
Page 28 - The President's "broad view" of the economy turns out to be
concern that George Bush and George Murphy won't be elected/reelected
to the Senate. This needs some reworking.
Cambodia
Page 11 - References to the Hickel firing deserve your closest attention
Student
Page 10 - Anti-press statement with regard to Vietnam coverage deserves
your attention
Jordan
Page 26 - This quote is dynamite. It has the President, half-asleep,
waking up slowly and thinking in has something important to toll the
President - and then realizing that he himself is President. This quote
will become a national joke if we don't get it out.
Campaign
Page 12 - Here's the Goodell affair. It says quite openly the President
wanted Buckley elected. You will want to check this over.
Campaign
Page 14 - Point of accuracy: Was the Phoeniz speech given at an airport
rally? I thought it was at a GOP dinner. You may want to read over this
whole chpater - it defends the President in very uncertain terms and may
raise some credibility problems
Transition
Page 3 - Reference to political handling of, and political importance of,
inflation issue could strike some as indicating the President is too political
Page 6 - More on the Hickel firing
Message
Page 5 - This lback=handed slur at Muskie would better be deleted.
Page 9 - Fairly weak dialogue about the golf ball - we might want to take
this out
Page 10 - You should look at the joke the President makes about the fair-time
doctrine. Might not stil with moderates too well.
Laos
Page 7 - This unnecesary reference to Chappaquidick would better be
taken out.
Domestic
Page 11 - Did Fulbright really suggest that the President should be tried
for war crimes? I'm not at all sure about the accuracy of this one.
Papers
Page 13 - There is a quote here from the President on Ellsberg's hawiskness
in the past and, in particular, about him running around killing everyone in
sight with black pajamas when he was a hawk. Ellsberg did go out on forays
with our troops, but I don't think this quote is fair and I don't think it will
go over too welk - it indicates a kind of viciousness which Idon't think we
want the President to reflect.
Page 13 - Do we want the President's closing commentary on the South Asian
Payers war to be that it wil have little impact on E lection Day?
Year
Pages CU-CC - You should look over this part on the Neep and his Unhappiness
with his role, particularly references to him being controlled by 21.5.
Page 31 - Day-care is not federally sponsored communalism - get this
crap out.
The President's peace initiative and thesecret talks should be put in here
somewhere - and if Lasky does that, he should also put ti some reference to
the President's bi-partisan theme in his State of the Union. Both, tied together
would be good near end.
I would suggest you send the book to John Lehman on NSC to check over
the extensive foregin sections. I think I. would have caught most of what might
be bad, but I wouldn't want to swear by it. As a matter of fact, it might also
be well to have Buchanan look the book over. The book is very long and, in
S ome ways, tedious, and I might not have caught everything.

Keep riding herd on John with regard to the possible disruptions
at the RNC. Also, one of the points you should raise with John
is the fact that even though diversions haven't been too successful,
the fact that we have a diversion going on that shows good kids
doing a constructive thing, versus the people trying to disrupt the

SUBJECT:
Polling Situation
Bob started to get into the discussion of the polling situation with me.
He said that some of the questions that were to be included in Teeter's
answers are:
1. What we should be doing;
2. where we should be doing it;
3. how we should be doing it;
4. how we should capitalise on the March-April
period (we will be right in the crest of China then, etc. ).

A couple of poll questions that came up over the weekend that you
should in our next poll.
-- In your opinion how successful has the Nixon
Administration been in dealing with Congress.
Very successful; Somewhat successful; Somewhat
unsuccessful; Very unsuccessful.
-- Do you feel you would trust Senator Muskie
more than you would trust President Nixon?

I would argue with regard to the attached. Though Buchanan
and Khachigian may be doing a satisfactory job seeing that
things are pulled together on Muskie, et al, I think there is
a real breakdown between the material they have and getting
that material out to our spokesmen.
How is this whole situation being handled?

I don't know if there is anything we can do about the attached
request from Bob's sister, but if you wouldn't mind, please
do some sort of a check into it and see if we do have any stroke
here.
Thank you.

Bob has raised again the question of the shifts in the trial heats
and asked that you give this project top priority in getting a report
back in to him. Also, as I think I told you, with regard to his notes
on the January poll, he would like an explanation or at least ORC's
evaluation of an explanation of why some of these figures have changed.
Why are we showing a serious weakness in women, why are people over
fifty dropping, etc. Please get this in as soon as possible.
Is anybody making arrangements of getting our national data to Teeter
or what's the situation here? The same would be true of getting stuff
to the A.G.

There apparently was an article in NATIONAL REVIEW that appeared
a week before Haldeman saw Max Fisher that had something to do with
Haldeman and the Jewish vote. We obviously missed this one, but Bob
has now asked that we get a copy of it. Will you please follow-up.
Thank you.

SUBJECT:
Celebrities
Below, I am simply going to list, in random fashion, my comments
with regard to the celebrities memo. I can't emphasize how poor a
job I think we are doing here and I think this report is an excellent
testimony to that fact. If you want, raise my objections and some
questions with Jeb Magruder and tell him in fact it is one of the
typical memos he used to turn in. Here are the questions at any
rate.
1. How specifically is the idea of the black celebrities
approach being followed up? What specifically are we
doing with Sammy Davis, Jr.?
2. What was the result of the meeting with Frank
Gifford?
3. Why was the celebrities thing here at the White
House so screwed up?
4. What specifically were the details on it? What
are we doing to make sure it doesn't happen again
and what are we doing to follow-up on those people
that were here?
All the lists that we have got are complete pad jobs. There isn't one
list that gives the celebrities that are now for Nixon. Who do we have
signed up? It is now after February 10, so I assume our list is
complete.
Who are the individuals involved in each particular regional operation?
For example, who is David Begelman? Who is Lou Cook? What
qualifications do they have?
2
I can't believe that the traditional telephone campaign that we are
talking about is going to list much support among the celebrities.
Who do we have actively going out and proselytizing the young
celebrities that now think they are Democrats but really are
Republican? What is the specific program we have outlined for
using celebrities? What are we going to do with them and what
are we going to try and get them to do? In short, the celebrities
program, obviously, isn't put together very well, yet. I could go
on picking it apart, but what we need to do is get some specific
goals and a specific plan outlined, not seven pages of padding.
