Dear Bob:
As you know I would like to work in the President's
1972 Campaign.
Since my earlier request my situation has changed
a little. I am now State Director of Finance for the
Republican Party of Michigan. In this capacity I am
developing our 1972 fund-raising activities to commence
in November 1971 and conclude in June '72 leaving July
to clean-up the loose ends.
As of July-August I will be "free" to work in the
campaign in any capacity that I can be of assistance.
Getting involved at this late date may limit the
opportunities available to me but I would like to suggest
several areas in which I might be of service.
1. I advanced Mrs. Nixon during the 1970 campaign
after we returned from Europe. I would be
pleased to assume the responsibilities of her
advance during the Convention and the ensuing
periods as it may differ from the President's
schedule.
2. With the experience I have had in fund-raising
during the recent months it is conceivable that
I could work with Herb Kalmbach in traveling
about the Country soliciting campaign contributions.
3. Assist Ron Walker in the President's advance.
Mr. H. R. Haldeman

Harry Dent called to suggest that the President meet with
the cop people at the RNC. Dent suggested attendees at
the meeting are Tom Evans, Lyn Nofziger, and Ed DeBolt.
Dent has not checked the idea with the Attorney General,
which you may want to do.
One other suggestion from Tom Evans to Harry Dent that you
will want to consider is the possibility of the President
having a stag dinner aboard the Sequoia for the November 9
Dinner Chairmen. I know you have been interested in that
dinner and the date selected so you may want to get back to
Evans' in response to his July 20 memorandum to Haldeman

In order for our November 9 dinner chairmen to
achieve maximum effectiveness, they must have enthusiasm and
the individuals to whom they sell tickets must believe they have
a good line of communications with the White House. I cannot
recommend too highly the importance of inviting them to a stag
dinner with the President aboard the Sequoia.
This should be done in late August or sometime during
the first two weeks of September. All of our chairmen are out-
standing leaders, many of whom have known the President for years.
The number would not exceed 30.

Harry Dent called today with several suggestions based on
a recent conversation he had with Tom Evans at the RNC.
The first concerned a memorandum Tom Evans sent to Haldeman
today (attached). Evans' suggests that the President have
a stag dinner aboard the Sequoia for the dinner chairmen.
Dent agrees. I will forward this to Dwight for appropriate
handling. The point is that Dent believes that all requests
from Tom Evans to Haldeman or anyone else on the White House
Staff should go through Dent. You may recall that this
subject was never definitely answered in the series of
memoranda discussing Harry Dent's role.
One other point Harry Dent makes is that Tom Evans, Lyn
Nofziger and Ed DeBolt the three top officials at the
RNC have not been in to see the President recently. It
is Dent's opinion that they should be given this opportunity
soon.

One additional input that you will want concerning
the possible Presidential meeting with the State Chair-
men, which was a subject of my memorandum to you of
yesterday, with the Tom Evans memo to Mr. Haldeman
attached, is Haldeman's suggestion that possibly the
Eastern State Chairmen meet with the President in
Washington while the Western State Chairmen meet with
the President in San Clemente. This does not mean that
he has approved of the meeting but just that the possibility
of dividing the group geographically is being considered.

In the ongoing story of a Presidential meeting with
Republican State Chairmen, you should be aware of
Harry Dent's request that the Southern Association
of Republican State Chairmen have a "private meeting
with the President as soon as possible". The Southern
Chairmen are adamantly opposed to appealing the Austin
(busing) decision.
These Southern Chairmen are obviously interested in
substantive discussions with the President, whereas
Tom Evans' request for State Chairmen to meet with the
President was primarily cosmetic. Maybe it would be
in the President's interest to combine the two events.
What happens next procedurally? Is the letter signed
by all of the Southern Chairmen responded to substantively,
merely acknowledged, or held until a decision is reached
whether to schedule a meeting with the President or not?
Please advise me as Mr. Haldeman has not seen Dent's
cover memo nor the Southern Chairmen's letter.

Dear Mr. Fleming:
As a resident of Maryland, if you watch the national
news broadcasts or read the Washington Post or New York
11
Times, I am sure you are convinced, in part at least, that
President Nixon may be a one term President.
I do not share the distorted view presented by this
portion of the media. President Nixon inherited a mess
both on the international scene and on the domestic front.
Mistakes have been made but not enough, in my judgement,
to persuade a majority of the American voters that Senator
McGovern, Teddy Kennedy or any one of a dozen members of
the Senate, represent a palatable alternative. Of one
thing we can be sure, the 1972 candidate of the oppos-
tion will be well financed. The traditional bankrolls of
that party will make money and talent available to the
11
Democratic candidate. Don't let anyone tell you that we
are better financed than the opposition, we are not.
Three years ago you were one of many residents of
Maryland who joined RN Associates. Your help was greatly
appreciated then and the purpose of this letter is to re-
enlist your help for next year. We need you as an RN
Associate NOW. I hope you will join us again for another

L. HIGBY
FROM:
GORDON STRACHAN
SUBJECT:
Walter De Vries
Magruder arranged for Flanigan, Garment, Marik, Marumoto,
and myself to interview Dr. De Vries for the polling
consultant position with the campaign.
Dr. De Vries works almost exclusively for Republicans,
including Romney, Milliken, Rockefeller, and currently
Bob Griffin. His only Democratic candidate is one of
the Louisiana longs who is currently running for gevernor.
His explanation for working for a Democrat is that he
has been given a free rein in terms of research, media,
and campaign management control.
Although his background is basically one of survey
research. He also prepares media spots and does general
campaign consultant work.
He has done a good deal of work analyzing the "ticket
splitter". He has recently completed a book which will
be in print in September. The co-author of the book is
Lance Tarrance, our friend at the Census Bureau. It is.
De Vries view that the classic distinctions between
Republicans, Democrats, and Independents do not take
into account the fact that 54% of those who voted in 1970
split their tickets. De Vries believes that the
general trend toward Independents is even larger than
currently indicated by the registration statistics
because even those who register with a particular party
do not demonstrate the standard party loyalty, but rather,
split their ticket.
De Vries is not particularly impressed with ORC or Dr.
Derge as he believes their techniques are too ridged and
old fashioned. In particular, De Vries suggests unifying
the polling and communications aspects of a campaign.
For example, suggested spots or many documentaries or
campaign literature could be pre-tested and analyzed by
the same individuals who are doing the polling in general.
-2-
177
Another suggestion that De Vries has is that nationwide
polling does not help you determine who the uncommitted
voter is and how to get to him in a key area. He says
that polling should be conducted in the top media markets
in the key states sothat the emphasis of the campaign
can be on these swing voters.

2. Merrill doubts that simulation is worth it from a
cost effective stand.
3. The problem is not use of simulation, but more effective
use of current polling information.
4. ORC and Benham are competent but old and static.
5. As you can see from his resume, he has worked for
conservative Republicans, yet he has a very free wheeling
impression of which voters are moving;
6. He disagrees with Kevin Phillips and will send synopsis
of four thesis dissertations, done by his graduate students,
refuting the argument in Phillips book.
7. He thinks the Republican hierarchy has poorly used available
university Republicans.
8. He will also be forwarding to me his comments on Roll's
book, THE HOPES AND FEARS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Pursuant to your request for advice as to how to maintain
your residence in California, I assume you are primarily
interested in voting in California.
The fact that you have paid income tax in Maryland the
last couple of years and have not paid any income tax in
California is irrelevant. State income tax depends on
"residence" rather than "domicale".
On domicale, which controls where you should vote, the
question is whether you consider the state your home in
the sense that you have always had it in the back of your
mind to return. I assume that is the case with California.
As to the procedure for actually establishing your residence
in California and therby being able to vote either in person
or absentee, you must locate your County Registrar, appear in
person, and "register" to vote. Probably the best address for
you to use would be your parents, since you can arguable
assert that you have lived there all of your life and that
residences at college, the beach, graduate school, in New York
during the campaign, and here in the Washington, D.C. area
are all temporary. On the slim chance that the California
Registrar asks whether you own real property in any state,
you would of course have to declare the ownership of your
Maryland property. However, the point to be made is that you
consider that house really an investment rather than your
"home" which of course has always been in California.
Since you will presumably want to vote absentee, it would be
advisable not to raise that possibility with the Registrar
because it undermines your argument that you have lived in
California. As to obtaining the absentee ballot, you have
to send written notice on a form which will be provided by
the Registrar on request at a later date.

Maintaining Residence
in California
A small favor -- I'd like you to look into (in your
spare time, if you could) the question of my maintaining
my residence in California.
I have never registered to vote or voted in any elections
here, although I have paid some income tax the last couple
of years here and haven't paid any income tax in California.
Is there any way I can either:
1. Continue my residence in California at my parents
or some other place, or
2. Reestablish my residence in California?
Thank you.

The attached tabulation from the ORC caravan study was
sent by Benham as you can see by the attached note.
The caravan study is a bimonthly ORC personal interview
of approximately 2,000 people. To add a question, such
as approve or disapprove of the President's handling of
his job would cost approximately $1,000. The question
is whether the demographics which he emphasizes would
give information that would be helpful enough to us to
justify the additional cost.
You will also be interested in my July 27 memo to Larry
raising the possibility of the caravan study presumably
by comparing the statistical accuracy charts we reviewed
yesterday, you can answer Larry's question.

Discussion with O'Neill on Friday and Tom Benham
today concerning the discrepancy between the Gallup
results on the Presidential approval and the ORC
telephone polls raise the possibility once again of
putting the Presidential approval question on the
ORC bi-monthly caravan study. As you will recall,
the caravan study has 2,000 interviews and would
cost approximately $1,000 each time. Of course,
the problem is the one raised previously, that is,
we do not receive the results quickly. However,
there is no question but that the trend information
from the caravan study would be more reliable than
the 1,000 interviewee telephone polls. This does
not really answer the question of why the difference
between Gallup's personal interviews and ORC's
telephone interviews, but it is Benham's best
suggestion for acquiring comparable data.

Your question about follow-up on the June 16 memorandum

the meeting yesterday.
Mr. Haldeman told me and Larry after the meeting that he
did not want to follow-up with the Attorney General on any
memoranda to him.
Therefore, in answer to your specific question, it is safe
to stop follow-up on this. However, we should double check
our file of memoranda from Haldeman to the Attorney General
to assure that we have well protected copies of everything.

Attached Memo
from Cashen on
Celebrities
Based on discussion with Magruder, Riets, and Sloan it is
my view that any Citizens organisation, such as the one
suggested for celebrities, should have a front individual
and a young organizer for affective use of the tallens.
As to a front individual for the celebrities, Cashen's
suggestion of Bob Hope is obviously one to be considered
carefully.
As to an organisational operative, I would suggest someone
from the organisational end of the entertainment business.
Entertainers are notoriously peculiar to deal with and you
need a professional who can function as a businessman from
3:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon. Several individuals come to
mind, including some that I worked with in New York. However,
before we get to that stage, we should obtain suggestions
from the people mentioned in Cashen's memo. In light of
my aversion to meetings, I think this could best be done
by a memorandum from Magruder to Colson, Chapin, Rumsfeld,
and Moore.
Anything else?

FROM:
HENRY C. CASHEN II
SUBJECT:
Celebrities
As I have indicated to you, both Chuck and I have been attempting from
this office to track on the various activities which are happening with
respect to cultivating and working with celebrities.
In this regard, I have made it a point to keep in regular contact with Dick
Moore, Connie Stuart, and Peter Malatesta in the Vice President's office,
with regard to anything that involves celebrities and their relationship to
the President. Malatesta (Bob Hope's nephew) has excellent connections
with many of the more prominent Hollywood celebrities and his advice has
proved very helpful.
As far as independent contact from a citizens basis with celebrities, the
most productive individual in this regard has been Paul Keyes. As I am
sure you know, Dwight Chapin has an excellent relationship with Keyes and
can talk to him or get his advice on almost any subject which we are
considering in this regard. However, Keyes is so deeply involved in his
own personal business that I doubt whether he would consider assuming the
role of citizens chairman for celebrities. I think he best serves the President
in working with Dwight and making personal contacts with those prominent
celebrities with whom we need to work.
As I also mentioned to you, Jeb Magruder has talked to Don Rumsfeld
about further organizing and working with celebrities and has asked that I
consult with Don when he is in a position to call such a meeting. Consequently,
I am awaiting word from either Rumsfeld or Magruder as to what thoughts
they have in this regard.
I think it would be a good idea if the above mentioned individuals, including
Colson, Chapin, Rumsfeld, Moore, and Magruder, got together to consider
possible individuals to head the citizens group for celebrities. I know and
TMO met with Cy Laughter who did this in the 1968 campaign, but I
no. think he should be lead man. Cy can be helpful, but a more
prominent individual with better and easier contacts would be more
ideal for the job.
Please let me know if you need anything further at this time and I will
keep you posted on further developments.

We would like very much to do the same thing for you in

Thank you for your letter to the President of

Pursuant to our telephone conversation today, would
you prepare a draft letter for the President's

the telephone and TV shows in the 1972 Campaign as
he did in 1968. A "general, planning stage" response
seems appropriate. Would you see if we could have a
draft letter back by Friday, July 30.
The other matter which we discussed on the telephone
concerns the Matt Reese performance in Indiana. As I
indicated to you, we have heard from other sources
that Reese did a remarkable job. Would you let us

Unfortunately, Mr. Reese works only for Democrat
candidates. Nevertheless, thinking to 1972, it would be well
worth our while to counter with the very same strategy or even
better than that which he has so effectively employed.

In April, Chuck Colson and Dick Howard talked with

at that time was that no requirement existed for a

However, the thought was that upon the development of
certain Campaign activities Wilkinson's services might

Dear Mr. Haldeman:
Mrs. Ruth Watson is a staff member at the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare and is presently assigned to
develop and promote the Family Assistance Plan. The purpose
of this letter, however, is to inform you that Mrs. Watson
is a Republican who has indicated to me both a desire and
willingness to involve herself in the forthcoming campaign
in behalf of the Nixon Administration and the Republican
Party.
The enclosed resume and letters of commendation are supplied
to indicate that Mrs. Watson not only is an experienced and
well qualified individual but is held in high regards by her
co-workers and associates.
I would urge that serious consideration be given to appointing
Mrs. Watson to a position for which she could use the full
range of her capabilities.
Sincerely,
Arthur A. Fletcher

SUBJECT:
Charlie McWhorter -
Information System
Discussion with Charlie McWhorter, who just returned from the
Western Governor's Conference, covered the following subjects:
1) McWhorter talked to McCall, who made the statements
about Reagan just to get the headlines and thereby
increase his chances of getting Hatfield's seat.
McCall says he was just trying to help the President;
2) None of the Democratic Contenders had men working
the seven Democratic Governors and staffs at the
Western Governor's Conference;
3) Egan told McWhorter that the President would have
trouble carrying Alaska; Burns said the same about
Hawaii;
4) Governor Evans of Washington hasn't decided to run
for a third term. McWhorter suggests that "we"
decide whether we want him to run and if so, encourage
him;
5) The President should carry Oregon, though support
for Jackson is as strong as it is in Washington;
6) In Idaho and Montana the Republican parties have
deteriorated badly and McWhorter suggests that the
President campaign entirely separate from the party.
Idaho's Democratic Governor Andrus and Montana's
Democratic Governor Anderson are doing well.
7) In New Mexico the Republican efforts are chaotic,
and the President should campaign separately;
8) Governor Love told McWhorter that the President
should carry Colorado. Love was very friendly and
wanted to be cooperative;
-2-
9)
Steve Shaddegg of Arizona had some very negative
comments about the Administration's dealing with
the Republican party. Shaddegg told McWhorter
that "Nixon can't carry Arizona,' but McWhorter
disagrees;
10) McWhorter will attend the Mid West Governor's
Conference in Sioux City, Iowa, beginning Sunday.
McWhorter will then go to the RNC meeting in
Denver where he will sit in with Flemming during
meetings with every Republican State Chairman.
11) McWhorter attended Western Governor's "because
Stan Hathaway asked him". McWhorter attends
National Governor's meetings as a "member of
the Vice President's Staff".
Recommendation:
That a copy of the memorandum be sent directly to the Attorney
General.

Northern California Campaign
Position
This memo responds to your request that we develop candidates from the
San Francisco Boy area who could co-chair the California Campaign effort.
They are summarized below in order of my preference. In accordance with
your instructions, no contact has been made with these individuals, so our
evaluation is limited in several instances.
1. William H. Draner, President, Sutter Hill Venture Capital Co.,
Palo Alto. Bill Draper was a Yale undergraducte and received his M. D. A.
from Harvard. He ran for Congress against Paul McCloskey and Shirley
Temple Black. Draper is = strong supporter of the Administration and
has been very active in the Republican Party In Northern California. He
is independently wealthy, and has contacts with key people in the Bay area.
He is age 42 and is a very attractive, dynamic man. (See Tab A)
2. Richard E. Herndon, Partner, Garrison, Gregory, Herndon and
Townsend. San Francisco. Dick Herndon is a prominent attorney in San
Francisco, age 38. He is very active in Republican affairs. Cap Wein-
berger knows him well (former member of his law firm) and rates him as
an outstanding individual, a strong Nixon supporter, and would be an ex-
cellent choice. (See Tab B)
3. William C. Edwards. Partner, Bryan & Edwards Venture Capital
Co., San Francisco. Edwards is a very attractive Stanford graduate. He
was a partner with Lionel D. Edie in the San Francisco office, then left to
set up his own verture capital firm of Bryan & Edwards in San Francisco,
where he and his partner are investing their own money. He is well known
in Northern California, and is a strong Republican. (We do not have a
resume as be is in Europe at this time.)
4. Edward L. Scarff, President, DLJ Alliance Corp., San Francisco.
He is well poised, personable, and a tough-minded business executive at
age 40. He was previously President of Transamerica Corp. and is widely
connected in the business community. He is a supporter of the Administration
- 2 -
and despite his lack of political experience could do an excellent job in my
opinion. However, the chances are less in his case that he would be avail-
able. (See Tab C)
5. William Spencer, Free Lance Management Consultant, San Francisco.
Bill Spencer is fairly well known in Northern California. As you will recall,
he was the Northern California Campaign Manager in 1962 - Nixon for Governor.
He is now free lancing as a management consultant in the San Francisco area,
after spending 7 years with McKinsey & Company. (See Tab D)
6. Travis Cross, Vice President, University Relations, University of
California, Borkeley. Travis Cross has strong Republican credentials,
having assisted Herb Klein and Cliff White in Presidential campaigns and
worked in key spots for Hatfield, Packwood, and Romney. He is 44 and
has a strong public relations background. (See Tab D)
Please let me know whether you would like further information on any of these
men. In the meantime we will continue to search for additional candidates. If
you would like, we could interview the best of the above list under another
pretense in order to better assess suitability and availability.

OPPOSITIONS
Some opponents of Revenue Sharing view it as
a contravention of the public trust, because the
proposal allows states and localities to use Fed-
eral tax funds without Federal control.
They see a loss of personal political patronage.
STATE
Others feel there is no additional revenue avail-
able to share.
Some state and local officials think their pres-
ent programs will be curtailed or shortchanged by
new priorities. They fear reduced funding because
national income may not grow at the predicted
rate.
Some Federal administrators view Revenue
Sharing as a threat to their employment should
some Federal programs revert to state and local
administration.
Other opponents predict that Revenue Sharing
will result in an increased Federal bureaucracy.
Some view Revenue Sharing with suspicion,
because they fear the competence, attitudes and
honesty of some state and local administrators.
The opposition fails to realize that Revenue
Sharing will not only increase administrative ef-
ficiency and state and local decisional account-
ability, but also will result in new jobs as programs
get under way.
