HIGBY\nBob asked me to pass on to you for schedule guidance, the\nfact that the schedules for Mrs. Nixon, Julie and Tricia, are\ngetting to be somewhat too heavy. It is not in terms of the\nburden on them, but more the fact that they are becoming\ntoo available and thereby will be losing their scarcity value.\nWhile we've bedn coming up with several good things for them\nto do, we ought to try and lighten their schedules between\nnow and the end ofathe campaign. A couple of appearances\na week should really be about the maximum.\nLH:pm\nSeptember 6, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR I\nJEB MAGRUDER\nFRED MALEK\nFROM :\nL. HIGBY\nIt was rather disturbing that on our recent trip to California\nwe failed to see one Nixon bumper strip, except for one on\nPaul Presley's car, the Manager of the San Clemente Inn.\nWe've talked about this before, particularly about getting\nthem distributed in the primary states immediately, and\nobviously this is not taking place if we're unable to even\nfind bumper strips in Orange County!\nTherefore, Bob has requested that we get a concentrated\ncampaign going immediately to get out the President Nixon\nbumper strips -- don't use the Reelect the President ones.\nBob feels this would be an excellent project for our young\npeople to hit parking lots on certain days, perhaps for\nexample, the 15th of September. As we've learned in the\npast, we don't hand them out at rallies because people don't\nput them on, they will only take them home and put them on\ntheir mirrors.\nBob asked that you let him know what's being done on this by\nFriday, September 8.\nLH:pm\nDETERMINED TO BE AN\nADMINISTRATIVE MARKING\nE.O. 12065, Section 6-102\nBy Date 3-29-82\nCONFIDENTIAL /EYES ONLY\nSeptember 6, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR :\nBRUCE KEHRLI\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM :\nL. HIGBY\nThis latest trip which was our first campaign swing provided\nan opportunity for uncovering several flaws in our operating\nprocedure that we should change as we go into the campaign.\nThere's no serious disaster, but there are some areas in\nwhich we could do better that I wanted to get down on paper\nand then hopefully discuss with you.\nGenerally, there's a lack of a sense of urgency in the way our\nwhole operation is functioning. For example, I called Bruce\ntwo times in Hawaii and both times discovered that he was over\nin the gym working out or was unavailable because he was out\nrunning. While neither of my calls were important, they could\nhave been, and probably will be in the future, and it raises the\nquestion of whether or not you don't want to change your work\nout time for the next 60 days, or perhaps curtail it all together.\nI asked Gordon for several things and found out later only when\nI followed up that they were not available, not ready, or wouldn't\nbe,\nFor example, yesterday I asked that the ASI fugures be forwarded\nto me immediately. I know they were available yesterday, yet\nGordon indicated to me on the phone that they were only picked up\nan hour or two previously. We can do better than this. We've\nbeen so busy telling everybody else not to be complacent that I\nwonder if we haven't gotten to be a little complacent ourselves.\nBelow I've listed several random thoughts that come to mind on\nhow we can tighten up our procedure. I'm sure that you will\nhave some others.\n1. We should be ready first thing in the morning\nto do a complete review of our operation and what\ngenerallyins going on at the White House. This\n2\nshould require from each of you a conscious effort\nto find out what is going on, what the political news is,\nwhat the columns are, what the attack lines are, what\nthe problems are at the start of the day and be ready\nto go through them in some orderly fashion when I\ncheck in for Bob. This is different than just glancing\nover your desk when I call in and seeing if there is\nanything available at the moment, it should be a\nconscious procedure to find out what we are doing,\nwhat the problems are, and get ready to focus on\nthem and hopefully have some solutions ready when\nI call.\n2. We specifically need a review of the papers, if we\nare away from Washington, and of any of the morning\ndevelopments that have come up. Gordon should start\nsitting in on the 9:15 meeting now with Colson. Before\nthat you should have stacked up any other political\nconsiderations that have come up for that day or since\nwe have last talked. This would also include going\nthrough the follow up and being ready to review any\nof the problem areas with me when I check in. The\nfollow up should be covered before I call and any\nquestions about delays or due dates raised rather\nthan letting them slip.\n3. Assignments - when I call in from the road asking\nthat something be done, you should then take it as your\npersonal responsibility to get it done as soon as possible.\nIf there is going to be a problem with getting it done, you\nshould get back to me rather than me trying to remember\nwhat the problem is. This should be covered the next\ntime I check in.\n4. Our old follow up system of letting things slidemday\nor two simply won't work during the next 60 days. If\nsomething is not in on the day it is due in, it should at\nleast be raised with me. We can then decide what to do\nwith it, but the assumption that it automatically can slide,\nnot knowing what's taking place on the road, is not satis-\nfactory.\n3\n5. I think we have a need for a wire machine in our\noffice. Gordon spends a good portion of his time runhing\naround trying to look at the wires. Let's rent one for two\nmonths, regardless of what the criticism is 80 that we're\nupdated all the time on any thing that's happening politically'\nas soon as it moves on the wires. The disaster with the\nArab-Israeli situation at the Olympics is a typical example.\nWhile we probably could assume that we would have found\nout about this through several channels, it is one of the\nthings that should have been raised in our morning briefing\nconference call just to make sure it was covered.\n6. As a matter of policy, we probably should set up a 3-time\nper day procedure where I check in when we're on the road.\nYou should stack up the phone calls and the problems until\nthen, and hopefully we can get them accomplished then rather\nthan calling back and forth every time something comes up.\nSpecifically, what would probably work best is planning\non us getting together first thing in the morning, again\naround noon or shortly thereafter, and then again at the end\nof your day in a conference call. We may miss the noon one\nwhen we are travelling, but hitting at least two of them a day\nwill mean we are still ahead of the game.\nI'd like any thoughts you might have on these problems also. I've\nspotted some specific examples of what have been problems for me\nbut I'm sure that you've had problems too. Certainly I've screwed\nup more than my share of things but believe we can all do better.\nLH:pm\nSeptember 18, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nPAT BUCHANAN\nFROM:\nL. HIGBY\nBob asked that you work up a memo for his review today that\ncovers the following points:\n1. A study of the President's thesis that you should\nlook at elections in this century and you will see that\nno Presidential candidate has ever won by a 2 to 1 ratio.\nThe optimum, or maximum ever attained was Roosevelt\nover Landon which was 63-37, or whatever it was. Get\nthe facts on that.\n2. The optimum for a Republican is the Eisenhower land-\nslide of 1956 where he got 57.5% of the vote versus his\nopponents 42. 5%. In other words, a 15 point margin is\noptimum for a Republican in these times, and that should\nbe our stated goal -- to equal the Eisenhower reelection\nmajority of 57.5%.\nYou should also develop a line for columnists making this point.\nWe should talk in this fashion -- not in the terms that we expect\nour polls to go down, but rather that our goal in the ultimate poll\non election day, will be the 15 point spread that Eisenhower\nachieved.\nLH:kb\nsee\nMemo to: P50\nFrom: L H\nBob ached that you work of a new faher were\ntoday that when the follow part\nWe need a memo to MacGregor, Finch, et al, covering two\npolnts:\n1.

They are:\n1. The President should go to church\nregularly, if possible.\n2. If the opportunity comes up, he\nshould address a ministerial group\nthat isn't anti-Vietnam.\nI'm not sure if there is anything you can do here with these\ntwo ideas, but you should at least keep them in mind.\nAlso, you should probably be aware of the fact that McGovern\nis going to address the student body of Wheaton College.\nLH:kb\nSeptember 29, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nDWIGHT CHAPIN\nFROM:\nL.

(202) 484-6500.\nCommunications Division\nREPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE, 310 FIRST STREET, SOUTHEAST, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20003 Sept. 11, 1972\nTALKING\nPAPER\n*** YOUNG VOTERS: WHERE DO THEY REALLY STAND ***\nMore than any other segment of the voting population, young first-time\nvoters are in the spotlight this election year.\nThe most prevalent myth about the 25 million new young voters--those\nwho have become eligible to vote in a general election since 1968--is that\nthey are solidly in Senator McGovern's camp. They are not.\nA recent Gallup Poll pointed out that support for the President is\nstrong among those young people who have yet to register to vote. By 46\nto 43 percent, not-yet registered voters 18-24 years old indicated preference\nfor President Nixon. And, of those young adults already registered, 41\npercent would vote for President Nixon.\nThe picture is clear, and it is a picture that tells us we are making\na serious error if we lump first-time voters into a stereotype that really\nfits only a few of their number.\nWe can be especially proud that it is President Nixon's record on the\nissues that attracts the support of young voters.\nThere is Vietnam, for example, an issue that tore this country apart in\nthe '60s. As of December 1, more than 95 percent of our troops will have\nbeen withdrawn from Vietnam under this Administration. President Nixon's\nfervent attempts to end the war entirely include a comprehensive and fair\nsettlement offer: an internationally supervised ceasefire, return of our\nAmerican prisoners and free elections in South Vietnam. The President's\nVietnamization program is ending the war for Americans; his negotiating\nterms can settle the war for the Vietnamese if Hanoi will accept them.\nThe draft, another issue OF concern to young people in the last\nelection, will not be an issue in 1972. In 1968, nearly 300,000 young\nmen were drafted--many to fight in Vietnam. This year only one-sixth of\nthat number will be called and only volunteers will be sent to Vietnam.\nDuring a second Nixon term, by this time next year, there will be no\ndraft at all.\nEspecially for working youth, the economy is an issue. They face\nmany of the same concerns as their parents. The false economy stimulated\nby wartime spending in the late 1960s is by all indications--from the\neconomic community, the Labor Department, the consumers--reversing to a\nsolid, less inflationary stance.\nFor the first time since 1965, workers' raises are not being eaten\nup by inflation. True, unemployment remains at an unacceptable level but\nit is dropping not rising. As of last month, 82 million Americans were\nemployed the highest number ever. Cuts in defense related spending and\nthe vast numbers of returning GIs have contributed to the problem, but\nas business expands--and expansion has already begun--we will reach a\nfull employment economy that depends neither on high military expenditures\nnor expensive makework schemes from Washington.\nThe environment is another so-called youth issue--not becuase all of\nus aren't concerned but because it is the young who have shown the energy\nto make the issue visible to all. Here, too, the President has earned the\nsupport of young and old alike. He created the Environmental Protection\nAgency and a President's Environmental Merit Award Program for young people\nwho demonstrate leadership in solving the problems that surround us. He\nhas used every method available at the federal level to clean up the\nenvironment and seek new ways to keep it clean. And his Administration has\nbrought far more pollution cases to court than any other.\nThese issues are neither unique to youth, nor are they youth's only\nconcerns. But they demonstrate that there is cause for a Republican\nyouth vote this November if we make the President's record known.\n###\nCommunications Division\nREPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE, 310 FIRST STREET, SOUTHEAST, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20003 Sept. 11, 1972\nTALKING\nPAPER\n*** VIETNAM ***\nWhile Senator George McGovern is spouting wild campaign promises that not\neven he has any reason to believe he can keep, President Nixon is going about the\nbusiness of keeping his promises. He is bringing American fighting men out of\nVietnam and he is doing it in the only way that will leave the Vietnamese people\nwith the precious right to choose their own government.\nIn his 1968 campaign, President Nixon pledged a phased withdrawal of American\ntroops in Vietnam, and he has done that. In his latest announcement, the President\nset a goal of just 27,000 Americans in Vietnam by December 1. That is a reduction\nof 522,500 men, or 95 percent of the authorized troop level under President\nJohnson.\nBut the President's 1968 promise to end American involvement went one step\nfurther. He promised that America would not leaveits ally with no defense. He\nhas kept that part of the bargain, too.\nThe men who now carry the burden of the fighting -- the men who face their\nenemies in the field -- are South Vietnamese. They have proven themselves\ncapable of defending their country and they have proven it under the most difficult\nconditions possible -- the invasion of more than a dozen enemy divisions from the\nNorth. Vietnamization has worked; Americans are coming home.\nRichard Nixon has said many times that this nation for her own sake as\nwell as the sake of world peace cannot afford to abandon an ally, no matter how\nsmall and how far away. It must be remembered -- especially at this time when\nwe are asking the American people to choose between President Nixon and George\nMcGovern, between a strong America and an America turned inward -- that Richard\nNixon has removed our troops but he has left our Vietnamese ally with more than\nbroken commitments with which to defend themselves.\nAnd our American prisoners and missing in action and their families have\nnot been left alone with only Senator McGovern's shaky promises.\nPresident Nixon has made his position clear to the American people, and\nhe has made it clear to those who would seek to impose their system of govern-\nment on others. He has told North Vietnam and he has told us that peace is\nnot secured by giving in to an aggressor. It is secured only by a cessation\nof the aggression itself.\nEvery reasonable offer for peace has been put on the negotiating table\nin Paris. Now it is up to Hanoi.\n###\nCommunications Division\nREPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE, 310 FIRST STREET, SOUTHEAST, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20003 Sept. 11, 1972\nTALKiNG\n*** McGOVERNOMICS ***\nPAPER\nNow that another month has rolled around, Senator McGovern has revised\nhis welfare-tax reform plan. As Governor Reagan told the delegates at the\nConvention in Miami Beach, if the Democrat candidate stands behind his new\nproposal 1,000 percent, that should give us at least a week to look it over.\nIt may not take that long, though, because this new edition of the\n\"Demogrant\" is not that different from the poorly formulated, expensive\nproposal McGovern made the last time around.\nHe says he has dropped his $1,000 per person, no-work giveaway scheme.\nAll he has done is drop it into a $4,000 package guarantee for a family of\nfour--and that adds up to $1,000 per person anyway you look at it.\nNot only has Senator McGovern written into his plan no work requirements\nfor the millions he proposes to put on his $4,000 stipend, he has ignored any\nprovisions for the working poor--those Americans who work every day but make\nless money than they would get on welfare. He seems to think these people\nshould be helped, but hasn't figured out how.\nIf the Senator had spent more time in the Senate in the last two years,\nhe would have noticed the President's welfare reform plan--which includes both\nwork requirements and provisions for the working poor--and has been languishing\nin the Democrat Congress.\nSenator McGovern's poor conception of what a welfare reform plan should\ncontain is paralleled only by his devious representation of how he will pay\nfor it. He says his plans to slash defense spending and close so-called tax\nloopholes will net $54 billion in extra revenues. And, according to his Wall\nStreet speech, he will spend $39 billion for job creation, welfare and property\ntax reduction.\n-\nAs the Wall Street Journal asked in an editorial August 30: \"Does this\nmean Senator McGovern is dropping his previous support for Senator Kennedy's\nhealth insurance plan, which would cost $57 billion by itself? Is Senator\nMcGovern dropping the 100%-of-parity agricultural price supports and other\nexpensive items in the Democrat platform? If his words do not mean that,\ndo they mean anything at all?\"\nThe fact is, no one knows what Senator McGovern means. It has been\nestimated that the new spending proposals in the Democrat platform would\nrequire about $144 billion in new revenues. Senator McGovern says he's\ngoing to spend $39 billion and he tells us that \"the figures of all the\nnew programs I have proposed are based on the Democrat platform.' Is\nhe, then, in addition to constantly revising his own programs, attempting\nto revise the platform drafted by his delegates in Miami Beach?\nBut it doesn't really matter where McGovern gets his figures. They\nare wrong. For example:\nMcGovern says that $5 billion would cover state and local operating\ncosts and increased benefits in his welfare plan. The fact is that operating\ncosts alone are $5.9 billion with no money left over for higher benefits.\nMcGovern says that $3 billion would expand social security to cover\nthree million more people and increase benefits across the board. The fact\nis that just raising the minimum benefit to Mr. McGovern's suggested $150\na month--without adding more people--would cost $4.5 billion.\nOnce again, and this is becoming one of the more predictable aspects\nof the McGovern campaign, his figures and his proposals add up to only confusion.\n###\nFrom the Wall Street Journal, August 30, 1972:\nREVIEW and OUTLOOK\nWall St Journal\nSenator 8/30/72 McGovern's Wall Street\nExercise in Implausibility\nfore not against ordinary income.\nspeech yesterday was billed as the def-\nOther than that, the Senator's explana-\ninitive statement of his income mainte-\ntion to the security analysts was\nnance and welfare reform plans, but it\n\"money made by money should be\nremains to be seen whether the latest\ntaxed at the same rate as money made\nversions will hold up longer than the\nby men.\" This scarcely strikes us as a\nearlier ones.

Here are\nthree examples of what progress four years have brought.\n40\n1. REORDERING NATIONAL PRIORITIES: The year before\nPresident Nixon took office, the federal government\nwas spending 45% of the budget on defense needs and\n34% on human resources. For the first time in 20\nyears, those figures have been reversed. In the\n20\ncurrent fiscal year, we are spending 45% on human\nneeds, versus 32% on defense. Indeed, defense\nspending is lower in fiscal 1973 than in fiscal\n1968: $78.3 billion compared to $80.5 billion.\n0\nFY 1955\n1960\n1965\n1970\n1973\nEst.\nDefense spending as a percentage of total budget\noutlays\nHuman resources spending as a percentage of total\nDRAFT INDUCTIONS 1962-72\nbudget outlays\nKennedy\nJohnson Admin.\nNixon Admin.\nAdmin.\n400\n2.

Since then, draft\n200\ncalls have been cut 77%, and the President\nhas announced zero calls after July 1, 1973.\n150\nNo draftees are now being sent to Vietnam,\n100\nunless they volunteer for dutv there. And\nwith the lottery, the reduced one-year\n50\nvulnerability period and the end to unfair\n0\ndeferments, the draft itself has become\n62\n63\n64\n65\n66\n67\n68\n69\n70\n71\n72\nless intolerable.\nYear End Total\nCOMBATING POLLUTION\n$ Billions\n3.0\n3.

HIGBY\nSUBJECT:\nBilly Graham Phone Call\nAs I indicated to you, Billy Graham called yesterday\nafternoon to report on a matter that he is rather\nconcerned about, namely, the formation by a group\nof several liberal church leaders from an organization\nfor McGovern. Heading the organization will be a\ngentleman named Bishop James Armstrong who Graham\nhas a lot of respect for. He is young, intellectual, a\nreal go-getter and commer in the church. Billy indicates\nthat his sources say that they are setting up a coast-to-\ncoast organization to raise funds, send letters to editors\ncorrecting misstatements about McGovern, hold church\nservices for McGovern, issue discussions, run ads, etc.\nThe first church service will be run Sunday, October 8.\nHis analysis of this whole situation is that it will have\nsome impact, that it will involve somewhere between 200\nand 300 leaders, and will probably grow beyond that. The\nattempt here is to make McGovern the candidate of the\nchurch.\nAt the formation meeting that was taking place on this\nsubject, there was some question as to whether or not\nthey should attack Billy Graham because of his friendship\nwith the President, but decided not to do this.\n2\nBilly, frankly, had no special advice at the time he\ntalked to me, but during the next 24 hours he is going to\nbe calling several of his friends within the church to get\na reading on what they feel should be done. He is, I\nbelieve, willing to consider the establishment of an organiza-\ntion for church leaders for Nixon. Frankly, he is just a\nlittle surprised at what's happening here and wants some\ntime to think about it.\nI believe he would like to talk to you and will be athis\nresidence for most of the day and available to talk.\nHe mentioned that he had been making several statements\naround the country that are pro Nixon and said we could\nuse those statements whereever we want once they have\nbeen put into public print.\nI suggest you call Graham.\nLH:kb\nSeptember 16, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR :\nH.R.

Please let me know if this is not adequate.\nPat indicates this will require him getting in here at 6:30 a.m.\nat the latest every morning, something that he is willing to do.\nIn turn, I've told him that if there is any need for mechanical\nback-up, that appropriate arrangements will be made. He\ndoesn't feel that there is at this moment, but will be back in\ntouch if that is the case.\nLH:pm\n9/15\nYou asked what was wanted and that you would deliver.\nTwo areas are outlined below:\n1. We need to set up a program so that when\nMcGovern goes to a city, particularly a key\ncity, some committee in that city runs an ad --\nfull page -- asking McGovern questions that\nshould be answered that day. For example,\nwhen he goes to Milwaukee, an ad should run\nthat is headlined \"Milwaukeeans want to know,\nSenator McGovern, what are you going to do\nabout your promise about $1,000 for everyone?\"\nor, \"Senator McGovern, tell Milwaukeeans what\nyour position is on amnesty.\"\nObviously this can't be done every time McGovern\nmakes and appearance, but it should be done\nperiodically.\n2. Also, there is a need to tighten up on the\nmedia monitoring system. For example, Shriver\nwas in Dallas last week and when he came Into town,\nhe led off by saying that he was a poor boy and\ncouldn't afford the money we are spending to\nget on television. At that point, the three local\nDallas stations leaped to their feet and announced\nthat they would be delighted to have Sargent Shriver\non for however long he would like to be on -- free.\nShriver, however, did not respond to this. They\nthen offered to go out and cover Shriver wherever\nhe would be, which turned out to be a supermarket,\nThe people on Shriver's staff said they did not\nknow where his next appearance would be, that it would\nbe a last minute appearance. A couple of the stations,\nnonetheless, found out where he was going that next\nmorning and went there to cover him at the super-\nmarket. In questioning the people at the supermarket,\nthey found out that, first of all, Shriver had set up\nhis visit to that supermarket three days in advance and,\nsecondly, the lady who was going to be there had been\ngiven a list of prepared questions to ask Shriver. The\ntelevision stations, subsequently, ran editorials on\nthe fact that Shriver refused to accept free time.\n-- 2 --\nAll of this points out a hole in our media\nmonitoring operation.

HIGBY\nSUBJECT:\nCampaign Press Procedures\nI have attached the recent memo the President sent you plus\nall the backup from previous memos he'd sent you regarding\nhandling the press during the campaign.\nZiegler indicates that he has been covering the points made\nin the two Presidential memos verbally, but frankly I'm not\nconfident of how much he has done.\nYou indicated that you wanted to call the group together to get\nthis problem handled and I would suggest that you do it as soon\nas possible.\nOption I: Today at 12:00 Noon would be a good time for the\nmeeting. I would recommend the following be in\nattendance:\nEhrlichman\nBuchanan\nZiegler\nScall\nColson\nSafire\nKlein\nStuart\nClawson\nAbrahams\nOption II: or the group of:\nKlein\nZiegler\nEhrlichman\nColson\nOption I\nOption II\n2\nIn addition 4 checked on the other point raised in the President's\nthis\nmemo of the vicious handling of Tricia when she was up to open\nthe headquarters. No one is aware of any vicious handling that\ntook place of Tricia. The problem is that the press were put right\nup next to her at the headquarter's opening. The general advance\nwas a disaster and she consequently could not see the people, nor\nbe heard because the microphone was not working properly.\nLH:mco\nSeptember 12, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nH. R.

HALDEMAN\nFROM :\nL. HIGBY\nSUBJECT I\nPeterson Query on Additional\nLou Harris Polling\nPete Peterson called raising the question of whether OF not any\nadditional work should be done with Lou Harris and his polling\napparatus.\nHe's receiving pressure from Colson to have Harris do additional\nsurveys at the cost of $55, 000 per survey.\nPersonally, Peterson favors slowing down on the amount of business\nthat he's giving Harris and spacing them out to one a quarter so that\nthey don't look like they're all campaign oriented.\nHe makes the point that doing more than this heightens, considerably,\nthe opportunities, or chances for an explosion here that he doesn't\nwant to see happen.\nHe wanted to make sure with you that there wasn't any problem in\nhim dealing with Colson in this matter before getting back directly\nto Colson.\nAs to the reportentself, copies were sent to Ehrlichman, Weinberger,\nColson and Rumsfeld for information. The report did not go in to the\nPresident.\nTell Peterson to use his own judgment\nCooperate completely with Colson and\ngive Harris all that Colson suggests\nLH:pm\n81%\nSeptember 8, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nH.

R. HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nLARRY HIGBY\nSUBJECT:\nLeaks/Evand-Novak Column\nJeb Magruder called me back and said that he had talked\nwith Al Abrahams over at the Committee. Abrahams\nconfirmed to Novak the first three paragraphs of the\narticle. Novak had apparently talked to Dole's\noffice first and received some information regarding\nthe fact that there was a problem with the release.\nIt was supposed to have been made simultaneously, but\napparently was not because of the Committee's reluctance\nto release. While Magruder hedged, he indicated that\nAbrahams had generally \"given the information in the\nfirst three paragraphs to Novak, by way of confirmation.\"\nHe indicated that Novak already had the basic story.\nTo make a long story short, I have attached several\nrecent Evans and Novak columns, plus two articles\nthat you were concerned about, one by Lou Cannon on\nthe Surrogate Operation and another on the Ethnic\nOperation.\nI think, once again, it would be a good idea for you\nto sit down, perhaps in Ziegler's presence, with MacGregor,\nColson, and Magruder and get this thing hammered out\nonce and for all. You also might want to include Malek,\nin light of the fact that he's basically in charge of\nthe whole Voter Bloc groups.\nLH:car\nSeptember 5, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nH. R. HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nL.

He\nsuggested the President could say, we are doing this for the\nDemocrats who are supporting us but we are coming back to\nTexas and will have a meeting of comparable stature Republicans.\nHe just feels that some effort should be made to maintain the\ngood relationship the President has with the Republicans in\nTexas or the attention to the Democrats in Texas could boomerang\nand we could lose more than we could gain.\nHe said that Mr. Toddie Wynne, President of the American\nLiberty Oil Co., has an 8000 acre ranch 35 miles out of Dallas\n(10 minutes by Chopper from Love Field) and Mr. Wynne has\noffered this to the President on several occasions - any time he\nwanted to use it for a barbecue or whatever for 300 or 400\npeople.\nMr. Corley's telephone number is 214/742-4711.\nP.S.

We are to take out the whole Tanya sequence\nand also the parts about friendship with the children,\netc. from all our commercials and documentaries.\n2. We are to emphasize instead, the bargaining\nthat took place and how the United States was success-\nful in bargaining with the Russians. The SALT signing.\n3. We are to make the commercials have a much\ntougher, hard-line approach.\nThey are not to run again until the commercials have all been\nredone and Haldeman has had a chance to review them.\nThis same thing is true for The Nixon Years, The Nixon\nRecord, Nixon the Man, etc., and whatever 15 or 30 minute\nprograms we've done that include the Russian trip.\nI'd like a complete listing from you as to what film properties\nwe aow have that these Russian materials appear in. I need a\ngood reading on what the scope and magnitude of the situation is.\nMake sure that Dailey and everyone else understands we are not\nto run Russia again until the new commercials have been done.\nLH:pm:LH:pm\nIMP\nSeptember 25, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR: GORDON STRACHAN\nFROM:\nL. HIGBY\nWe need to have this in today -- even if it means you\ncalling Benham in Los Angeles. We should put together\na plan that shows how we would take a national poll by\ntelephone once a week as our own check against all the\nother polls that will be released. Bob thinks this is\nbasically a good idea as does the President, but wants\nto see the plan before making a final decision. Please\nhave this in today.\nLH:kb\nEMP\nSeptember 23, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR :\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM #\nL. HIGBY\nAs you probably know, there was a big problem in Texas with the\nrumor either true or false that no material had been distributed\nin the state. John Ehrlichman was passing out bumper stickers\nand campaign buttons left and right to everybody, including the\nState Chairman.\nThis points up the problem that we really don't have our distribution\nsystem going right yet. I want to know every week from now on\nhow many bumper stickers have been placed out by our kids and\nthe bumper sticker blits that is supposedly going on - what the\namount of materials is that has been distributed to headquarters,\nnot to just the states in general, etc. Let's really crack down\non this area and tell them that Bob wants weekly reports from\nnow on, beginning with the first report this Tuesday.\nLH:pm\nare\nSeptember 23, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR I\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM :\nL. HIGBY\nWe need to get a better feel of what the long-range media\nplan is that is being developed at 1701. It's my understanding\nthat we are planning to run the two documentaries on RN in\nthe next week or two. Bob does not want them to be run, but\nhe was not aware that we were planning this until Dwight\nmentioned it. Let's get the media plan for the balance of\nthe campaign and then we can update it as we go along. Let's\nnot be caught in another situation like we were on the Connally\n5 minute shot. Let's know what's being planned, when that\nplan is changed what's being dedided, etc. This is something\nthat Haldeman can't just be informed of after an accomplished\nfact. It's something that he must be a part of in the decision\nmaking.\nLH:pm\nSeptember 23, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR I\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM :\nL. HIGBY\nI need a follow up report on what we're doing on flags. It's\ninteresting since Clark MacGregor is apparently sent out a\nmemo to his whole staff, that Magruder and MacGregor don't\nwear flags.\nLH:pm\nMP\nSeptember 21, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM:\nL. HIGBY\nI talked to Jeb this morning, but you may want to confirm\nwith others over at 1701 -- the five-minute Russier spot\nshould run next week and then not again until after October 25th.\nAlso, the China spot should run the following week, after we\nrun the Russia spot.\nLH:kb\nSeptember 21, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR: GORDON STRACHAN\nFROM:\nL. HIGBY\nBob would like you to collect any and all polling data\nwe have available on West Virginia, Massachusetts,\nand Rhode Island.\nLH:kb\nSeptember 19, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM:\nL. HIGBY\nWe should start figuring out where we should use the\nMamie Elsenhower film. For one thing, we should get\nprints of it and have it distributed for use at Republican\nwomen fund-raisers, etc. Also, I believe it is to be used\nas a commercial.\nLH:kb\nMEMORANDUM\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nJulie\nWASHINGTON\nshed use Manue film\nRep. women fund raisers - etc.\nget prints. - fevel raines get out\nfile an\nElection loe they. - -vichulal.\nSeptember 18, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM:\nL. HIGBY\nTo reveiw our outstanding matters --\nYou are going to try to get the political matters\nmemo in today and also a comment in during the next\ntwo days as to when we should next be polling.\nYou also indicated there would be a follow-up\nreport on Saturday's activities, probably this Wednesday.\nLH:kb\nSeptember 14, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM:\nL. HIGBY\nSeveral odds and ends that you should follow-up on --\n1. We need to get the Connally spot as soon\nas possible.\n2. I want you to ride Magruder every day\nuntil we get somebody on Shriver. We need\nthese reports coming in.\n3. As I indicated to you, the Soviet commercial\nis not to be used. This is the five-minute spot\nof the President's trip to the Soviet Union. Bob\nwants to see it as soon as possible. He also\nwants to see the two Connally spots, as you know.\n4. Make sure that Ehrlichman's polling fellow\nunderstands that he will get all the polling data\nfrom Wave III as soon as it is available, with the\nexception of the Trial Heat data which no one will\nget.\nLH:kb\nSeptember 12, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nMIKE SCHRAUTH\nFROM:\nL. HIGBY\nAsa Call called Bob Haldeman today raising some questions regarding\nthe dinner to be held in Los Angeles. I explained to him that Bob was\nnot involved in this dinner but that someone probably would be able to\nhelp him out on the two specific questions he raised. They are:\n1) He would like a list of names that the White House would like\nto make sure are invited to the dinner. This would be people like\nGovernor Reagan, etc. He feels that most of these people have been\ninvited but simply wants to make sure that that is the case. You may\nwant to check with Rose Woods and give him a call back. His number\nis Madison 51211. If he is unavailable, you should speak to Mrs. Hill\nwho is in his office.\n2) He raises the question of whether Mrs. Nixon should sit at the\nsame table as the President, or if it is okay to seat them at separate\ntables. He wants to do whatever is correct protocol-wise.\nHe mentioned also the fact that while everybody will be seated\nat tables, Cope has insisted that there be a dais; therefore, the guests\nwill be moved up on a dais after dinner. I don't know if that means\nanything to you but I am simply passing It along.\ncc: Dwight Chapin\nLH:mco\nSeptember 12, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR :\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM :\nL. HIGBY\nAs you know, one of the items discussed was having Agnew sandwiched\nin right before or right after McGovern on several appearances. I'd\nlike to know what's been done on this next Monday. In other words,\nlook at how we scheduled Agnew this week and then tell me how this\n\"sandwich\" concept is working.\nOn a different subject - what are we doing, if anything, in putting ads\nin newspapers when McGovern hits town?\nLH:pm\n28N\nSeptember 11, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR :\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM :\nL. HIGBY\nA gal who would be sensational in helping us out in the Orange\nCounty agea is Mrs. Peggy Gazi. Kathy has her address. She's\nan excellent worker, a real go-getter, and someone we should\ndefinitely try to get on board. Rather than having this handled in\nthe usual low-key manner, I'd like a little more higher approach\nmade to her, just to see if she is interested. She'd be a real plus\nif we can get her on board.\nLH:pm\n18/5\nSeptember 6, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR :\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM :\nL. HIGBY\nAnother thing I never heard back from you on was the 104%\non Question No. 20 of the poll. What wa S the correct figure?\nhis\nall\nLH:pm\nSeptember 6, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR :\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM :\nL. HIGBY\nA couple of more minor points to show how we are not tracking\nand following up properly. Chapin is now sitting here on the\nairplane with the ASI materials, yet you, who are supposed to\nbe in charge of Haldeman's political operation, have been un-\nable to get them to us.\nAlso, apparently advertising information is now going from\nChapin to Haldeman. At least, Phil Joanou is sending informa-\ntion over regarding McGovern's advertising strategy. Once again\nwe're beat to the punch here and there's absolutely no goddamn\nexcuse for it! Let's find a way to get screwed together and get\nthis thing on track in our direction. We have the power, we have\ncontrol of the resources, let's get the information delivered.\nLH:pm\nIPU\nSeptember 6, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR :\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM il\nL. HIGBY\nWhat is the situation on the McGovern commercials? When\nwill we have a reading on these?\nOn a different subject, we should try and work up some ways\nof playing up the concept of the new majority. This is a good\nslogan and we ought to be trying to use it. You should also\nmake sure that this is mentioned to Price.\nOn another subject, do we have any billboards in our advertising\nplans? I need to know this right away.\nLH:pm\nSeptember 6, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR I\nGORDON STRACHAN\nFROM $\nL. HIGBY\nI don't know how you want to get this handled, but it is to be\nhandled immediately some way. There's a fellow named\nWoodson who works for Dole apparently over at the RNC. He\nis the RNC representative for a lot of events that the President\nparticipates in. He is not, repeat not to show up at any more\nof the Presidential events. WEll you please make sure that\nthis is done.\nMaybe Magruder is the one to handle this, but either way\nWoodson is not to travel where the President travels from\nnow on.\nLH:pm"
