May 23, 1973 MEMORANDUM FOR: GENERAL HAIG FROM: L. HIGBY SUBJECT: George Bush/ Bob Dole Meeting. The last time the President met with George Bush and other party officials, he made it clear to Bob that in future political meetings like this it would be necessary for Haldeman to sit in, not just Bill Timmons, since in a sense he is an interested party. You are obviously aware that there is a meeting today at 3:00 p.m. between Bush, Dole and the President with Bill Timmons sitting in. It would probably be most appropriate for you to sit in on this meeting. There are two issues that have been totally overlooked in Timmons' briefing paper that will probably be raised by Bush: 1. The complete possession immediately of the Data Bank by the RNC. The Data Bank is from the 1972 election. This is a problem that you and I need to spend a few minutes on sometime before any final decision is reached. Briefly you should be aware that there is in existence a substantial data bank of all the key states that breaks down by mailing address, ethnic charactes income etc., most of the people in the key states. This is a very valuable piece of information for any political candidate because he can use it to do extensive mailing and political canvassing work. Many people feel that the data bank was one of the primary reasons for our success in very tought states against McGovern. Before the President turns this over wholesale to the RNC some other arrangements should be considered. If it is turned over to the RNC it in effect becomes public property and becomes available for any and all candidates. If the President hold on to it simply for a little while to figure out what he want to do, he loses nothing. Page 2 2. Bush will probably raise the assumption by the RNC of all the funds currently being held by the Committee for the Re-election of the President. This, for a number of reasons would not be appropriate at this time. First, there are substantial legal fees that the Committee for the Re-election of the President may have to assume and additional debts that are not now cleared up. For the President to give all this money immediately to George Bush when it was not donated to the RNC but specifically for the re-election of Richard Nixon would be inappropriate. Don't misunderstand me, I think that at an appropriate time we may want to turn over both the money and the data bank to the RNC but the President, as you I am sure will agree, should not be stampeded into any decisions. I think you may want to talk to him briefly about these subjects prior to his meeting and at least consider attending the meeting itself. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON May 23, 1973 MEMORANDUM FOR: GENERAL HAIG FROM: L. HIGBY SUBJECT: George Bush/Bob Dole Meeting. The last time the President met with George Bush and a couple of other party officials, he made it clear to Bob that in fature political meetings like this it was necessary for Haldeman to sit in, not just Bill Timmons, since in a sense as I am sure you are aware, he is an interested party. You are obviously aware that there is a meeting today at 3:00 pm between Bush and Dole and the President that Bill Timmons is also sitting in on. It would probably be most appropriate for you to sit in on this meeting too or someone else who has the President's interest completely in mind and no particular stake in 1976. There are two issues that have been totally overlooked in the Timmons' briefing paper that will probably be raised by Bush. One, the complete possession immediately of the Data Bank by the RNC. The Data Bank is from the 1972 election. This is a problem that you and I probably need to spend a few minutes on sometime before any final decision is reached. on it, but briefly you should be aware that there is in existence a substantial data bank of all the key states in the United States that breaks down by mailing address, ethnic character, income etc.. most of the people in the key states.

If it is turned over to the RNC it in effect becomes public property and becomes available for any and all candidates.
