MEMORANDUM
September 21, 1972
To : Honorable John Connally
From: Jose Navarro Elizondo
In order for the Democrats for Nixon to reach as many Latinos in California,
as possible, I would --
1. Use the recommendations from the Cardinal of Mexico, S. S. Miguel
Dario Miranda, Apostolic Delegate of the Very Holy Father.
2. The way I feel I can get this help is simple.
Money -- Set aside about $5,000 from my bank account -- give
each parish priest a special gift of $200 or $300 for his pet
charity -- soft sell him on "The TRUTH about Nixon" -- against
legalized abortion -- promise of real help to private Catholic
schools. Then set up a Voters Education Committee in each
parish, using the most capable members of each church -- say
one group from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., and another group from
6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Let me worry about selling the idea to each church. I can
think for them and I can very softly slip the words, NIXON --
and REPUBLICAN to each of the intellectual members of the
Voters Education Committee.
The parishes that we select will depend on the heaviest voters'
concentration, or where the Latinos are deadset against the
President.
I would also like to have freedom of action to call on and use
old friends such as Gilbert Roland, Fernando Montalban, Vicki
Carr, etc., etc. I would like to have a gathering of these
well-known people at my son-in-law's home in Newport Beach,
California. I would set up a very cheerful group with all
the caviar and champagne to ask for their help. As you know,
most of them are Democrats, but for this time, we can forgive
them. I am hoping we could get a big Republican name or two
for this affair. More on this later -- let me get to work.
I'll be at the St. Anthony in San Antonio on Friday, the 22nd; at
the Shamrock on Saturday; from Sunday through Wednesday at either
to your approval; any or all of it combit Changesto

Governor Rockefeller
Call to Haldeman re:
Monday Visit
Governor Rockefeller called Bob this afternoon to discuss
with him the problem he is having with regard to the fact
that the President is going to Nassau County but is not going
to Suffolk County. He has talked to Swank, his Chairman
down there who is just about going out of his mind and they
think they've worked out a compromise that they would like
to propose. It is as follows:
Instead of having the President land at Idlewild
International Airport, have him land or at least
have him take off from McArthur field. This
field is very close to Suffolk county, apparently.
He says there's a hangar there that he could set
up with a big screen. Prior to the President's
arrival he would have other speakers speak and
have a band going, etc. The President could then
arrive, just before his departure and slip in the
back door, give the same five-minute speech he
gives in Nassau County and then slip out the door
with his departure being shown on the big screen.
He indicates that the entire thing would not take
more than fifteen minutes. He said that he has
real problems, otherwise, with Suffolk County
and indicated that this is something that really
means a lot to him.
I told him that Dwight Chapin we one of his staff
would be getting back in touch with him, so they are
expecting a call back.

On a different subject, Bill Safire just called saying
that since he is from New York he would very much
like to make the trip with us. I told him that Chapin

He was calling regarding John Tower's race in Texas.
He's done some independent checking down there and
feels that if at all possible, the President should plan
on making another stop and try to wrap his arms around
Tower. Indications he has received show that Tower
is running in a very close race. Despite the latest poll
information we have of October 3rd, recent telephone
checks indicate that the race is much closer than the
poll would indicate. He said the President is in good
shape in Texas but that we might have some Tower
problems and we should consider this. He indicates
that he has talked to John Mitchell about this problem
and that John may be working something out.

Addendum to Teeter Memo
Discussion with Teeter this morning, October 18, 1972
indicates the following:
1. We have already polled by telephone West
Virginia, New Hampshire, Washington, and
Pennsylvania, Results for all of these should
be in today.
2. Teeter has talked to Clark MacGregor and we
have come up with the following compromise
proposal:
a. Since the telephone lines are contracted
through this weekend, do Illinois, Ohio,
New Jersey, Connecticut, and perhaps Wisconsin
by telephone.
b. Do personal interviews in New York,
California, and Pennsylvania over the weekend.
By doing these three key states by personal interview,
we'll get a valid run late in the campaign of what the
situation is with regard to the inflation of the Nixon
cblumn that Teeter mentions in his memorandum. We
would be able then to follow-up with additional polling,
either personal interview, panel, or by telephone as
necessary.
Also, this plan would keep us within budget.

You should note item 4 on page 2 suggesting that the thirty minutes

MEMORANDUM FOR DRUGE KEHRLI
Attached is the article that has been
prepared describing how the White House has
been opened up during the Nixon Administration
to Americans from all walks of life. After
Mr. Haldeman approves it we would like to have
it signed by Lucy winchester and then distributed

country. Also, it will be used in Monday
and widely distributed to surrogates, and

POOR PEOPLE AT THE WHITE HOUSE
R. Sargent Shriver, Vice-Presidential candidate and sometime
comedian, made a statement cently to the effect that if Senator
McGovern were elected President he would invite poor people to
the White House. The obvious implication in his statement is
that poor people are presently excluded from the President's
home, and that President and Mrs. Nixon have notentertained
our less fortunate citizens.
Well, like so many of Mr. Shriver's campaign statements,
his poor people remark is as inaccurate as it is unlair to Presi-
dent and Mrs Nixon. Not only have the Nixons opened the White
House to rich and poor alike, but they have entertained a wider
variety of less fortunate Americans -- the poor, the handicapped,
and the elderly than any First Family in recent history.
Not
true
No holiday passes without an event hosted by the President
or a member of his family on behalf of ordinary citizens. Poor
children from local orphanages, disabled servicemen, older
shut-ins from local nursing homes and many others have enjoyed
the hospitality of the Nixon's, and no amount of misinformation
from Mr. Cheap the record. out
Not only has the First Family opened their home to little peo-
ple from all walks and stations of life, but they have done much
-2-
more. For example, Mrs. Nixon recently initiated a special
recording for the visually and physically handicapped, entitled
The White House, A Special Tour. The recording will make a
tour of the White House available to many who may never have
an opportunity to visit the Executive Mansion personally.
Mrs. Nixon personally prepared the script for the record-
ing and designed the album jacket. It will be available at the
Library of Congress for distribution throughout the United
States to handicapped citizens unable to use conventional reading
materials.
This kind of personal involvement and concern for America's
less fortunate has always been an important part of the Nixon
Presidency, notwithstanding Mi Shriver's allegations to the
contrary.
Here's a list of some typical examples of the many less for-
tunate visitors who have been invited to the White House by the
Nixons:
October, 1969, Tricia Nixon Cox gave a Halloween Party
for 250 Washington, D. C. school children in coopera-
tion with the Widening Horizons Program of the Urban
Service Corps., of which Mrs. Cox is a volunteer.
-3-
November, 1969, The President and Mrs. Nixon held
a Thanksgiving dinner for 232 senior citizens. The
dinner was the largest sit-down affair held to date.
Guests came from 18 homes in the District of Columbia.
May, 1970, Tricia Nixon Cox held a concert for 2,000
youngsters selected by the D. C. School Board, in-
cluding approx. 800 handicapped children and 800 ele-
mentary school children from schools which are eligible
for Title I funds. Also attending were some students
from the Washington Community School of music, some
of whom are scholarship students from the ghetto areas.
November, 1970, The President and Mrs. Nixon invited
approx. 100 servicemen and women who were not able to
be with their families to Thanksgiving dinner at the White
House. Patients from Walter Reed, National Naval Hos-
pital, and Malcolm Grow Hospital were invited.
June, 1971, Mrs. Nixon sponsored the kick-off cruise
for the summer, on the Sequoia for ambulatory patients
from Children's Hospital. This cruise was the first in
a series for varying deserving youth groups in the Wash-
ington area and across the country. They took place
on an average of two per week during July and August.
October, 1971, Mrs. Nixon hosted a White House Hallo-
ween party for students from the C. Melvin Sharpe Health
School and patients from the Hospital for Sick Children.
December, 1971, Mrs. Nixon and Julie Nixon Eisenhower
conducted a Special tour for the children from the Founda-
tion for the Junior Blind from Los Angeles.
March, 1972, Julie Nixon Eisenhower met with the Jack-
sonville, Illinois School for the Deaf.

May, 1972, Veterans cruises on the Sequoia were held
evèry Thursday starting in May and ending in Septem - -
ber. Tricia Nixon Cox sponsored and hosted the kick-
off cruise. The veterans are from the various military
hospitals in the area.
June, 1972, Tricia Nixon Cox conducted a special White
House tour to winners of the 1972 Scholastic Achieve-
ment Awards for the Recording for the Blind, Inc.

Democrats for Nixon
T.V. Ads
Jeb Magruder called me from his office to report that he
is meeting with Leonard Marks right now and that Connally
talked to Marks last night with explicit instructions that
Marks is to cancel any advertising for Democrats for Nixon
that makes their budget go over $1,000,000. By the end of
next week we will have spent $1,444,000 which means that
if we are to follow Connally's instructions, we will have to
cancel all of the Democrats for Nixon advertising for the
next week. Connally also told Marks that he really didn't
like the idea of doing 1/2 hours, but would if the President
really wanted him to. He thought five minutes might be
better.
Magruder feels strongly that you should call Connally and
discuss this. He indicates the problem centers around the
fact that the Democrats for Nixon aren't raising money like
they thought they would and C onnally is a little worried about
his credibility if he can't deliver the money. He also believes --
but has no proof that Connally's people are lobbying against
stepping up the Democrats for Nixon ads and C onnally is
concerned about this. He believes that Connally is being told
that he is being used as the Agnew of '72,
Magruder reports that there would be no problem, of course,
for us to fund or supplement funds for the Democrats for
Nixon, but to use existing funds would mean showing a transfer
or us subsidising that group, something he doesn't believe
Connally or we want to do. Also, if we were to take future
incoming monies pledged to us and transfer them to the Demo-
crats for Nixon directly, we would have to get Stans' concurrence,
something Magruder feels would be a problem right now.

Attack
There has been a definite change in our attack pattern
over the past week, something that may be calculated
but something I would suggest you want to reconsider.
Namely, we are no longer on the attack. McGovern
has done, at least during most of this week, exactly
what earlier memos from the President warned you
shouldn't take place. Namely, he shifted the ground
from his issues to our issues. He's turned the battle
so that the Vice President and Romney and other
surrogates have spent the week answering McGovern's
charges rather than attacking him.
For example, in today's News Summary, though the
Vice President makes a strong attack, hitting McGovern
for gutter politics, he fails to point out those specific
proven issues that all our polling indicates McGovern
is terribly weak on.
Yesterday, the Vice President spent his time answering
McGovern's charges on crime and on permissiveness.
But McGovern had already charged us with permissiveness
when we should be charging him and pointing to the holes
in his program, or nonexistent programs to take care of
crime problems.
I may be wrong, but I understood that this week was
supposed to be our week of hitting McGovern for his
defense policies, but very little, if anything about his
defense policies has made the news during the last four days.

RECOMMENEATION:
I think you need to talk to Colson and Buchanan and
get them back on the attack. Get the Vice President
talking about McGovern's policies on Amnesty, abortion,
defense, the thousand dollars, and markjuana. Apparently
the networks have made the basic decision that they are
going to give us equal or at least somewhat equal time
every night. Let's use it to blast McGovern and get him
answering us again, rather than the present posture that
now exists.

State Telephone Polls
for Massachusetts, West
Virginia, and Washington
Tom Benham of ORC says that his company could do the
state polls for the three above mentioned states at a total
cost of seventy-five hundred dollars. This would be for
four-hundred interviews in each state. The delivery
schedule would be as follows:
Massachusetts -- Wednesday afternoon
West Virginia -- Thursday afternoon
Washington State -- Friday afternoon
Benham emphasized that the schedule could only be kept if
we were serious about doing just a trial heat poll. Her
indicates we could do a five-minute interview which would
mean a maximum, inhis mind, of six questions plus the
standard demographics.
Questionaire is attached for your consideration. Le/me
know if you want to go with this. We need to give Benham
the final okay by 3:00 p.m. today to make the above outlined
schedule.

1. If the 1972 Presidential election were being held today, would you
vote for Richard Nixon the Republican candidate or George McGovern,
the Democratic candidate?
(If neither, or undecided on question #1 ask question #2.)
(If a candidate is named go on to question #3.)
2. Would you say that you lean more toward Richard Nixon or more
toward George McGovern?
(Those people who said Nixon or McGovern on question #1 as well as
those who say Nixon or McGovern on question #2 are directed to go to
question #3, all others to question
.)
3. Have you definitely made up your mind which candidate you would
prefer for President or is there some possibility that you will change
your mind during the campaign?
4. Do you approve or disapprove of the way Richard Nixon is handling
his job as President?
5. As you know, the United States has recently concluded an agree-
ment to sell four-hundred million bushels of wheat to the Soviet Union
over the next three years. Regarding this sale the charge has been
made that some big grain exporters had advanced inside information
from government sources that was not available to farmers. This
alledgedly allowed the exporters to make a profit at the farmers' interest.
Do you think this charge is true or false?
6. If it is proven that advance inside information was leaked to big
grain exporters, do you think this will make you less likely to vote
for President Nixon or won't it have any effect on your vote?

MEMORANDUM FOR:
BRUCE KEHRLI
FROM:
L. HIGBY
We need to set up a phone call program for Ed Nixon
and Tricia at the President's request so that they
are making political calls around the country on be-
half of their brother and father.
What we should do here, however, is not submit to them
a separate page, but maybe a list of ten or fifteen
phone calls (without the phone call numbers on the list)
that simply states the persons name, where they are
from, and gives a one-line identification of them.
For example, for the "hardest working person in head-
quarters", or "labor man who is distributing bumper
stickers saying
for us"-- like what
was in today's News Summary. Then you could attach the
bumper sticker or other appropriate backup material for
call.
The idea is to work out a format so it is easy for them
to make the calls, not so that they have pages and pages
of material.
Obviously someone will have to talk to Ed Nixon on this
and someone else, probably Bill Codus, should talk to
Tricia.
Before anything is done, however, Bob wants a format
worked up for this, along with twenty suggested calls
and he wants to see the first group before they go over.

The attached book should be kept updated between now
and the election for use after the election.
Also, using the material that is now available in it, have
somebody see if they can write a column that would be
suitable to put out between now and the election.
Do not repeat do not have anybody put the column
out. Simply have them draft one and sent over here for
review for possible use.
You may want to have Gordon raise this at the strategy
meeting since the idea of putting out a column making
any of the newspaper people look silly between now and
the election is probably not a worthy exercise, but it at
least should be considered.

SUBJECT:
Telephone Call Program
Will you please take charge as the central point in putting
together a telephone call program for the President. He
wants it done on a different basis than we've done before.
Not just a bunch of labor leaders from Colson.
He wants, for instance, some of the chairmen around the
country who it would be good to call -- not just so they
can complain, but so he can charge them up. You'll have
to work closely with Malek and MacGregor on this.
He also still wants to call some Democrats, also some
surrogates who have done a. particularly good job. No
old friends should be included, just good political calls.
He does not want a big book but he wants it set up on
priorities and not the same old names. Some of these calls
could have the same effect as a visit to a headquarters. For
example, he could call the hardest working woman in the head-
quarters. He wants to call all the major cities in the south
and hit key people there.
Please make up a plan and get something in on this. Don't
just leave it to Colson although you should work with him.
Please have something on this by Wednesday at 12:00 noon.

"Get Out the Vote" Telegrams -- Signers
"Get Out the Vote" telegrams are now scheduled to go to 5,171,000
Republicans with delivery on November 2 in California, Connecticut,
Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania. An additional
3,000,000 are scheduled to go to non-Republicans in these states
plus non-party identified voters for the President in Texas,
Illinois and Michigan. All non-Republicans who get telegrams are
voters who were identified as for the President through the
Canvass/Telephone Programs.
As a review, we have received approval to send the telegram out by

The above signers, we believe, would cause us the least amount of
divisive feeling in the states -- considering that these voters
simply need a reminder to vote.
The most effective individual to sign all of these telegrams would
be President Nixon. He has the greatest recognition, this name
will get the most attention, and it is easily the most powerful
and exciting name in the world. He has the Party and country
pulling together in one direction. Any other signer is a compromise.
The copy approach is subtle, yet it touches on the major issues and
quietly stresses the importance of their vote. Slightly different
copy is suggested for known Republicans versus all others.
The suggested copy for known Republicans is attached as TAB A. The
copy for non-Republicans is attached as TAB B.
We need a firm decision on these recommendations by the close of
business, October 6, in order to have delivery on November 2 for
the program.

At Bob's request, I compared the two versions of

Connally and the one done by Bakshian.
They really are substantially different -- not so

yead.
That was what Bob was trying to point out in his
