JUNE 30, 1972
STATEMENT BY FRANK BORMAN, CHAIRMAN, VETERANS COMMITTEE FOR THE
RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT
Veterans have many reasons to support President Nixon's re-election
this year: because he understands the necessity for maintaining a
strong defense posture for the United States; because he understands
that the purpose of maintaining America's military power is to
secure a just and lasting peace; because he believes that while
American servicemen have a duty to serve their country, so their
country has an obligation to provide a strong system of benefits to
all veterans, a system of equity; because he has refused, in the face
of great pressures, to abandon our allies in South Vietnam or to
endanger the lives of American servicemen while he has been withdrawing
more than 90 per cent of our ground forces in South Vietnam.
But more than that, those of us who have been comrades in arms
support Richard Nixon because he has refused to abandon the men who
are being held prisoners of war by North Vietnam; because while he has
offered the Communists the most generous peace terms in the history of
warfare, he has insisted on demanding freedom for our prisoners and an
accounting of our missing in action before finally withdrawing the
only bargaining tool we have to secure the release of our POWs.
lle has refused to sacrifice the futures of American prisoners of war
(more)
2-2-2-2
BORMAN ANNOUNCEMENT
on the altar of political expediency.
We support Richard Nixon for all these reasons because
we contrast his courageous record on the POW question with
disgraceful proposals -- to quit the battlefield with nothing
but assurances from the enemy that our prisoners will be released.
We urge all of our fellow veterans to join with us in working
for the re-election of our President in recognition that the just
and lasting peace he seeks to achieve will insure that in the
years ahead, America will have fewer veterans and no prisoners left
behind in communist jails.

COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE VETERANS OF FOREICN WARS (1969-1970)
AND A MEMBER OF THE VETERANS ADVISORY GROUP TO THE VETERANS COMMITTEE
FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT, JUNE 30, 1972
I'm happy to serve with the Veterans Committee for the Re-election
of the President. As Frank Borman said earlier today, we must all
get together. I'm disturbed about the Congress committing the
young people of America to foreign soil and then some of them aban-
doning them, such as George McGovern has. He states that he will
go begging to the enemy, but the French have done this ever since
1954, and I'd suggest that he talk to the French Foreign Ministry
to determine just how satisfied the French were in their return
of Prisoners of War. I'm concerned about each POW and a country
as great as us which is founded on the serve of the veteran can
never leave one overseas.

I submitted to you on July 24th a memorandum from Buchanan

to take any action on it, but events have moved ahead that would
appear to offer resolution to the problem.
After discussion with Jeb Magruder on the subject of how our
attack plans would work, and specifically how we would be setting
the line on a regular basis, he and his staff prepared a memorandum
to Clark MacGregor (Tab B) outlining how they felt the plan should
work. Surprisingly Jeb came around to a position that was fairly
close to the one Colson had originally suggested. As a result,
Magruder's plan goes a long way toward establishing the sort of
operation that you would want here.
Some holes do exist in the plan and they have been enumerated in
a memorandum at Tab C for your signature.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that you read Magruder's plan at Tab B and sign the
memorandum to MacGregor and Colson at Tab C.

that he is gathering facts and getting bids on airliners for the Vice
President's use during the campaign. At this point, he questions
whether or not the Vice President wants the 727, 727 stretch, or the
707 fan jet. Apparently there are several advantages to the fan jet
that Roy particularly wants to check out. Anyway, he suggests that
unless you want to do something else, you hold up on making a decision

9:30 a.m. -- Met with Clark MacGregor.
10:15 a.m. -- Met with Ken Rietz to review

Conclusions and follow-up in morning sessions went extremely
well. Afternoon sessions had some problems as the briefings
did not go as smoothly as possible; the 3:30 briefing on China
had not taken place nor had the briefing on the war.
Materials are being mailed to individuals to cover all these
points.
Followeup
1. The leaders are sending us all their
lists of young leaders around the country
plus ways they plan to go about finding young
leaders.
2. They will be trying to identify young leaders
within their group who we can approach.
3. They are forwarding their recommendations
as to special events they feel we should hold and
events they will hold over the next few months
that they feel we should become involved in.
The idea of endorsement was not raised. The feeling was reached
that this group can do more for us without endorsement, but would
probably give us an endorsement if we pressured them.
All in all Reitz feels the sessions were successful. In talking to
Reits, it is my opinion that we should be pushing a stronger
follow-up effort in this area than is currently contemplated.
I would suggest you sign the memo attached to try and shake things
up a bit.

Buchanan Memorandum on Attack
Buchanan's attached memorandum raises once again the point we
were discussing at Camp David of developing a unit that can make
sure we're pushing a coordinated line on a regular basis. I agree
with his conclusion that we need a group that meets regularly to set
and coordinate the attack.
The question in my mind is one of making sure we have somebody
who can ride herd on this on a regular basis. While it is Colson)s
responsibility, I don't believe he has the time to appropriately
monitor this as exhibited by the lack of coordination that has existed
so far.
Buchanan suggests that MacGregor or his man, Colson, Buchanan,
Dole or his man, Lofton, the scheduler of the surrogates, meet on
a regular basis to lay out the strategy of attack on McGovern for the
next several days. I agree with the make-up of the list as Buchanan
has suggested it with the exception of omitting Lofton and Dole and
adding Ehrlichman, and perhaps yourself.
I recommend that you authorize the institution of such a group, making
Key Clawson the individual directly responsible for carrying out the
operation.

Possible Release of Questions
In ORC July 19-20 Telephone Poll
In reviewing the poll, a couple of suggestions for possible release
of the material included in the poll are listed below:
1. Give question to Connally for use as a Sunday
release for Monday's story. There is some
devasting information here and it would firmly backup
the comments he has made about McGovern being a
radical out of touch with the majority of the country,
etc. Also, it would give Connally a bit of an exclusive
to hang the interview on, although, I realize there are
several other interesting points that will be made during
the course of the interview.
2. Also, it might be worth having a Congressman or
Senator do a release on the amnesty question some
time during the upcoming week,
Aside from these two particular points, I would recommend against
releasing any of the material.

Bob reviewed the attached memorandum that I submitted to

he would like answers on from Rietz by 5:00 p.m. today:
1. It is highly doubtful that the group met with
MacGregor at 9:30 a.m. since MacGregor was
in a Cabinet meeting at 9:30 a.m. here.
2. He would like a very specific idea of what
we are going to do on follow-up. How are we
going to follow-up with them, what are we going
to do to approach the young leaders whose names
they give us, what is the degree of value each one
of these people will have to us?

individuals.
Basically he feels the follow-up Riets is proposing is pretty low
key and there probably is a lot more we could be doing here. Who
are their contacts going to be here for example?
On a different subject, as I indicated to you, he would like to have
the material on Daley regarding the slogans. He seemed to be
rather surprised when Chapin raised the fact that;the slogan "Help
him finish the job" was 20 points ahead of the slogan "Nixon Now".
I mentioned to him that you indicated that Daley had covered this
with him in a meeting, which he said is not the case.

I also wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea now to put out
the memo regarding never saying Republican or Democrat
or referring to the Democratic convention, but rather the
McGovern convention, etc. Our people are starting to put
out a lot of things had this distinction should probably be made
clear to them. Perhaps the memo should come from MacGregor.
Why don't you think about this and put a plan together.

Bob would like you to look into the situation regarding the
campaign song. It should be ready for the convention at the
very latest. Please find out what is happening here and give
him a report. One approach he suggests would be to get some
of our country music people to work on some songs. A good
simple song to a country beat might be the best possibility for
us.

I think we should have Teeter put together a better set of briefing
materials for Chapin rather than the general stuff that he is now
giving him. I know that he can give him more than this and I think
we should make sure it's done. Also, any of the other people in-
volved with scheduling should probably receive part or all of this
briefing - certainly Parker should.
On a different subject related to the polling, Bob wants to see the
answers to the two questions regarding our polling capability and
our planned role in polling program as soon as possible. Let's get
this in-in time so we are in a position to Influence the decision
rather than accepting it from 1701.
Also, I assume that Teeter is going to do much more detailed
analysis on the polling data that we now have than is indicated.
Bob, of course, would like to see any of his more detailed
analyses and you should consider this a first priority, rather
than merely going around orally briefing people. It forces him
to think the whole thing through rather than just throwing out his
assumptions.

So there is no misunderstanding, what Bob wants is two reports,
One report should be on the capability of ORC to do private
confidential polling for us on both a selected and national basis.
The sedond report should be from you on what our current plans
are for doing the day-by-day polling.
What Benham has given us here is an on-call polling facility in
theory, but in fact, an almost daily polling facility, which is far
beyond our needs as they currently stand, or as I envision them.
If the capability of both can be wrapped up in ORC by having the
committee select ORC to handle the day-by-day we're in great
shape, but I think this is something that has to be decided on a
separate issue. I would suggest that in your memo to Bob you
make it blear that this is under consideration and also give him
a reasonable estimate of what the cost will be to do this. Benham's
proposal is interesting in that the total cost he's talking about is
really fairly minimal compared to the entire amount that we are
spending on polling. We may want to consider a revision bf it and
pitch to Bob the idea of doing our own polling on a regular basis
with ORC, although, it would probably duplicate a lot of work that
the committee is already going to do.
Make sure you get to Bob the other materials Benham was talking
about. This seems like a very interesting thing. As a matter of
fact, as an addendem to your report or in a spparate report you
might want to forward to him the fact that the electoral report
projection system is being set up.

Bob asked that we take a look at this young man and see if we
can't try and work him into the campaign somewhere out in
Los Angeles. He's sharp and is worth some time to bring
along.
Also, he asked that an appropriate draft response be prepared
to Mr. Clarke's letter for Bob's signature.

Dear Dick:
Dolores and I, and our young daughter,
Jennifer, want to thank you and all the
staff of the Balboa Bay Club for your
wonderful courtesy and hospitality during
our recent stay. As usual, all the arrange-
ments were just great and it never ceases to
amaze me how your people learn to put up
with the page boys, beepers, radios, and
extra telephones we constantly drag along.
Please say hello to Joyce and thank her too,
for a most enjoyable evening of fun and conven-
tion watching. Once again, we are sorry we
stayed so late, but in a way, maybe it was
worth it after all -- Archie Bunker will probably
never be nominated for Vice President again.
Best wishes, and hope to see you again soon.
