MEMORANDUM
THE WHITE HOUSE
chron
WASHINGTON
March 6, 1973
FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
KEN KHACHIGIAN On
SUBJECT:
POLITICAL RESEARCH - RNC
The Political Research Division at the Republican National Committee
has been cut in half I have been told. It is my impression that this
has been done while other divisions over there retain full staff.
The cut in the research department directly hinders our ability
to get basic opposition research to use in a number of projects.
This effect has already been felt in one project I was asked to do and
which RNC was unable to be complete with the customary thoroughness
due to the lack of staff and the higher demands on their current
facilities.
Our facilities here can not compare at all with those of the RNC,
and since more of that work must be done at RNC, it seems to me
that they should have the staff to do it.
Looking ahead, Iwould think that in the next few months we might
begin to think about encouraging RNC to gear up the opposition research
apparatus for the 1974 mid-term elections. This type of foresight
is what put us in such excellent position for the Presidential election,
and we might want to be thinking about it now.
