MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. FLANIGAN
FROM:
H. R. HALDEMAN
Tom Evans (of the RNC) has indicated that he badly
wants Darrell Trent as his Deputy Chairman for
Administration and that, with a nudge from us, Trent
would make this move. What is required is some
indication by us that we "need" Trent to do this and
that it is an important job.
Would you please give Trent a call and see what you
can do to induce him to take this position?

MEMORANDUM FOR H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM :
BRUCE KEHRLI
SUBJECT :
Your Meeting with Dole
and the Attorney General
As you know Chuck Colson is working on a project to nail
the "Muskie Moderate" myth. This is something that will
be master-minded here but will be implemented at the RNC.
Bob Dole is to be our big gun on this and Muskie is to be
his principal assignment. Colson has responsibility for this
project and to lay some ground work, you might tell Dole
of Chuck's responsibility and that the two of them should get
together in the very near future.
Also, Lyn Nofziger called to ask you to re-emphasize the point
that Dole is to be tougher and less "statesmanlike".

SUBJECT:
Information from the RNC
We are receiving quite a bit of information from the RNC
Research Division. We receive a packet about every three
days. The subjects covered include summaries of recent
polls and information on possible Democrat candidates
for 1972. Since each of these packets is quite lengthly
(approximately fifteen pages) I am forwarding them to
Gordon Strachan for his review and he will bring to your
attention any information you need to know.
For your information, I have attached a couple of sample
reports.

Chuck Kent called and asked to speak to you on a personal
matter.
I returned the call and found that he wanted to let you
know he is getting married on March 11 to a pediatric
surgeium. He indicated that Dr. Seth R. Brooks was
performing the ceremony.

MR. H.R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
BRUCE KEHRLI
SUBJECT:
Mailing of Parchment Certificates to
Republican winning and losing Candidates
in the 1970 Election
Just after the election last year, Bill Safire came up with the idea
of sending Presidential momentos in the form of a parchment
certificate to the winners and losers in the November elections.
These were to be sent to all Republican candidates down to the
state level -- that is, all candidates involved in state-wide races.
At that time the attached certificates were approved, but certified
lists of all state candidates were not available. Rather than
run the risk of sending the wrong certificate to some of the candidates,
you indicated that we should delay the mailing until certified results
were available.
These lists are now available at the state level and each state
chairman has been requested to forward the appropriate information.
The mailing labels are ready for the participants in the Congressional,
Senatorial, and Gubernatorial races and as we receive the information
on State Legislatures and state-wide races (Lt. Governors,
Secretary of States, Supreme Court, where applicable) these too
will be made up and the complete mailing will be sent out at one
time.
The purpose of this memo is to keep you advised of the status
of this job and to let you know that unless you have any objections
these certificates will be printed and mailed.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
JEB MAGRUDER
FROM:
H. R. HALDEMAN
From time to time various GOP organizations will be
putting on registration drives and membership campaigns.
As a reward for the winners of these drives, we should
come up with some special item from the White House.
Would you please look into this and come up with the
appropriate item for this type of award. You should
coordinate your efforts with Murray Chotiner, who is
already receiving inquiries from Republican organizations
on this.
Please forward a report within two weeks.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
NOBLE MELENCAMP
FROM:
BRUCE KEHRLI
SUBJECT:
Parchment Certificates
Attached are the parchment certificates that were approved
for mailing to the winners and losers in the November
elections. The smaller one ( 8 1/2 X 11) is to go to the
winners as indicated and the larger one would go to the
losers. As we discussed on the phone there is really no
need for a cover letter. Please let me know when the
certificates have been sent. Thank you.

BRUCE KEHRLI
SUBJECT :
Research Material from RNC
We receive, on a regular basis, packets of material from
the RNC on various aspects of the political situation. They
are usually fairly lengthly, averaging about 20 pages. I will
forward them to you to review and determine if any of the
information should be relayed to Bob.
You should probably start a file of information and, if you have
any suggestions for improving either the format or content of the
packets they send, please draft a memo for Bob's signature.
