CCI Fred Malek (Attachments sent to Mr. Magruder only -- no copies made) GS;lm February 15, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: JEB MAGRUDER HARRY FLEMMING FROM: GORDON STRACHAN You may have noticed in this morning's New York Times that the Republican State Chairman in Florida is quoted as saying that Ashbrook will get 158 of the primary vote. Ashbrook himself says "If I could get 30% here that would be regarded as a serious vote and it would evoke a serious financial response." It seems strange that our own chairman sets a lower target vote than the challenger. Just a thought.

State convention Precinct Caucuses - The Results Present indications from precinct returns indicate the following strength for the Democratic candidates in each Congressional District: First 2 Uncommitted 2 Muskie 2 McGovern Second 3 Muskie 2 Uncommitted 1 McGovern Third 2 Muskie 2 Uncommitted 1 McGovern Fourth 3 Uncommitted 2 Muskie 1 McGovern Fifth 2 Muskie 2 Uncommitted 1 McGovern Sixth 3 Uncommitted 2 Muskie 1 McGovern Lyon Osceo's Dickness Emmel Kostu'h Winnetage Worth Mitchell Howard Winneshiek Allamakee Street Car bancock Come Gordo GER Hold Chickasaw Fayelle Clayton Checkee BuchaVista Pocahonias Humboldt Viright Frankha Butter Bremer Plytouth Webs'er Black Hawk Bucheran Delaware Dubuque Woodbury Ids 530 Cabour Homilton Hardin Grundy lama Benton Linn Jones Jackson Monona Crawlond Carroll Groune Boore Story Marshall i Clinion Cedar Audoben Datas Polk Jasper Tuneshick lows Johnson homesh Selvy Scoll Muscatine was Addit Madian Visiten Marion Mahaska Aechuk Washington louise Adams 1.00 CARE toos Monine Wasella Jesserson Henry M.A , Des Moines 1.18 1.1 19.3 1:- in Davis been IPP -2- At the state convention where at-large delegates will be selected, projections indicated that Muskie will take five delegates, McGovern three delegates, and the uncommitted will have four delegates. This would give Muskie 18, McGovern 10, and the uncommitted 18 at the Democratic National Convention in Miami.* These projections are tentative, however. Under Iowa law, no convention delegate can be bound to a candidate -- e. g. the relative strength of the contenders may change as the national convention approaches. AN ANALYSIS Muskie -- The Muskie forces hoped for a clear mandate out of Iowa to add to their "bandwagon" psychology. Heavy emphasis was put on big-name endorsements by organization people in the state. The final "coup" of this strategy took place on January 17, when Senator Harold Hughes surprised many state Democrats by announcing support of the Maine Senator. In addition, Muskie had the support of Iowa's 30, 000-member United Auto Workers union, the only union in the state to break with labor's general strategy of electing uncommitted delegates. Taking no chances, Muskie still brought in eight last-minute, full-time workers from other states. In spite of this effort, the Muskie forces could not win a clear majority of delegates -- a fact which will not be lost on Democratic pols around the country. McGovern -- The Senator established that he is at this point still a viable candidate. He concentrated his efforts on precinct organization and was able to slow Muskie's drive. The McGovern supporters, although a minority, seem to be "activists", who will turn out when needed at the tedious precinct meetings. McGovern showed a lot of his strength in college towns. In Iowa City, heavily populated student precincts produced McGovern majorities and in some instances, support for Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm. McGovern has to have this type of support to have any chance at the nomination. Labor -- The large number of uncommitted delegates was testimony that in this state, at least, labor strategy was working. Word had gone out from George Meany for labor's minions to elect as many uncommitted delegates as possible in order to have optimum bargaining power at the Miami convention. Labor's muscle. along with the hesitancy of many lower echelon Democrats to commit themselves at this early date resulted in the large uncommitted vote. In addition, the uncommitted vote was added to by supporters of Hubert Humphrey and Edward Kennedy. *In 1968, Iowa cast 19 1/2 for McCarthy, 18 1/2 for HHH, 5 for McGovern and 3 for Kennedy at the Democratic National Convention. -3- SUMMARY The Iowa results are indecisive. Muskie is still the frontrunner for Miami, but he hasn't got it locked up yet. He will need more than big-name endorsements to win the nomination. Labor enjoyed initial success here, but the "uncommitted" strategy will be hard to execute successfully in the other states, RNC RESEARCH DIVISION FEBRUARY 8, 1972 THE DEMOCRATIC DELEGATE HUNT REPORT ON THE CAUCUSES MISSISSIPPI 1972 Democratic National Convention Votes - 25 1972 Delegate Selection Dates January 22. ....... precinct caucuses February 12 ....... county conventions February 26 ....... state convention Mississippi seems to be heading toward trouble in Miami. January 22 was the day under the new-reform rules to hold precinct caucuses across the state. The meetings were held -- by two different Democratic parties. The morning meetings were held by the "regulars", who control the state party and virtually every public office in the state. Governor Waller is securely in their camp. The evening meetings were held by the "loyalists", the black dominated group that has the official recognition of the Democratic National Committee. Both sets of precinct meetings were nominally "open", but each side refused to take part in the proceedings of the other. Both sets of delegates are at this point uncommitted, although Charles Evers, the black national committeeman, has pledged to recruit delegates for John Lindsay. Governor Waller of the "regulars" speaks well of Senator Jackson and Congress- man Wilbur Mills with more "old-line" members favoring Governor Wallace of Alabama.* Chances of a compromise slate going to Miami decrease as the Democratic Presidential contenders chose sides in the controversy. Senator George McGovern has already accused the "regulars" of racism. Look for a credentials fight in July, which could split the national Democrats again on the race issue. *In 1968, Mississippi cast 9 1/2 votes for Humphrey, 6 1/2 for McCarthy, 4 for McGovern, and 2 for Reverend Channing Phillips at the Democratic National Convention. February 14, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: JEB MAGRUDER BART PORTER FROM: GORDON STRACHAN SUBJECT: Celebrities in New Hampshire You probably noticed in this mornings' Wall Street Journal, the comment about which celebrities are going to New Hampshire to support their various candidates.

Could you give me a call and bring me up to date as to whether we have any celebrities scheduled in to New Hampshire? Thank you.

Most of it is sufficiently well done that we hope to incorporate portions in the campaign package. I apologize for the delay. Dave S Enclosure. (Allin/Elliott) RP February 4, 1972 On January 20, 1969, America was a troubled nation. There was division in the country, disruption on the campuses, inflation in the economy, crime in the cities, powderkegs in the ghettoes, backlash in the suburbs, and two hundred coffins a week coming home from Vietnam. As Richard Nixon took the oath of office, he inherited this bitter legacy. It required both political courage and statesmanship to move away from war and inflation, up onto the high road of peacetime pros- perity. But Richard Nixon, more than any President before him, has quietly presided over major changes in policy and direction in our government, and has restored our faith in the ability of our system to solve its problems and reflect the basic integrity of the American people. The record of the Nixon Administration is clear: There have been dramatic new initiatives in foreign affairs designed to end our involve- ment in the Indochina conflict and secure a lasting peace; there have been bold new economic policies to speed our progress toward a sound prosperity; there is a full agenda of domestic programs aimed at government reform to make it truly responsive to the needs of our citizens; and there is much else that remains to be done. -2- Progress toward achieving what the President has called the "great goals" of our society requires the cooperation and commitment of every American. The vast majority shares the President's con- viction that this is a great and good nation, one which has an extra- ordinary capacity to set out upon a new course of action and bring together diverse elements in a creative force to improve government and our quality of life. Where there was despair and frustration only a few years ago, there is now a growing sense of hope and faith in the traditional strengths of our institutions and in the fundamental goodwill of our countrymen. The President has made a beginning which urgently merits our support. He deserves and the Nation needs the opportunity to press for completion of his initiatives, both foreign and domestic. In his campaign for re-election, you can demonstrate your support in a vital and meaningful way -- with your personal check. A contri- bution of $15 will enroll you as a member of the Committee. But gifts of $25, or $50, or $100, and larger are also welcome! If it is signif- icant to you, it will be significant to us, and you may be sure that every dollar will be used in the re-election of the President. With your financial assistance and that of other concerned individuals, we can mount a campaign that will take the record of this Administration -3- directly to the pèople, calmly but forcefully articulating its accom- plishments, its far-reaching proposals and its confident vision of the future. We urge you to join in this high adventure. It will be an alliance of citizens who believe that Richard Nixon has guided the Nation through an era of adversity and has brought us to the threshhold of a full generation of peace with prosperity. This is our opportunity, in Lincoln's words, for us to "dare to do our duty as we understand it. TT #### THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON Administratively Confidential February 1, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: LARRY HIGBY BRUCE KEHRLI FROM: GORDON STRACHAN SUBJECT: Absentee Voting in California I checked with my Placer County Clerk, Maurene I. Dobbas, regarding the requirements for your application for absentee ballots to assure your California residence for voting purposes. She reports that the law requires that you file with the County Clerk a request for an absentee ballot stating your absence from the state due to government service, 54 days prior to the primary election. Since California's primary is on June 6, you must have completed the transaction with your county clerk by April 13. Since it usually takes a few days for them to send the necessary forms for your signature here in Washington, I would suggest that you write and get the process going in the near future. Larry, in your letter, I would mention the fact that you will have a court proceeding pending in your county of residence, Los Angeles. February 22, 1972 Dear Mr. Bradford: Mr. Haldeman is travelling with the President in China this week, therefore I am responding to your letter of February 10 in his absence.

By Monday, February 7, he wants your description of the positive things that are planned. Football games, surfing contests, and rock concerts have been suggested. These plans need not be detailed or finally approved by all of those who might be interested. Instead, he wants a 500-750 word summary of your ideas. He emphasized that he wanted this report Monday even if it required a good deal of effort this weekend. Thank you.

However, there are five individuals who should receive letters. These letters should refer to the fact that the President was sorry that he had not been able to meet with them during their White House tour and thanking them for their personal support and the sacrifices that they are making on his behalf. Another line that we would want to include would make a reference to his current trip to China.

Ken Rietz and Ken Smith suggest that the President send personal letters to the Young Voters for the President. This is the group that came to the White House on short notice last week. Rietz is recommending that the President send personal letters to the attendees. Roland Elliott's view is that these letters are too blatantly political. He relies on Bob's comments at the staff briefing last week about being "non-political". Ray Price and Dave Gergen have also urged a decrease in the "political" activities. Bart Porter, who is charged with overall responsibility for this area said the group received plenty of "stroking". Therefore, unless I hear otherwise from you, I will ask Elliott not to get the letters and so inform the Committee to Re-Elect the President. why werevel them Attachment to the everyone Check It MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON February 3, 1972 ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM FOR: Gordon Strachan SUBJECT: Political Letters The attached materials from Ken Smith of the Committee for the Re-Election of the President appear to be of a strictly political nature. That is, there seems to be no reasonable justification for accommodating this request other than for political campaign purposes.

The group was made up of a cross section of well known young people (see attached list). They were given a tour of the White House by Mike Farrell and spent a few minutes with Dr. Kissinger, Bob Finch and Chuck Colson. Due to his working on the Vietman speech, the President was unable to meet with them. We feel it would be appropriate for a letter to be sent to each, expressing the President's regret at not being able to meet with them and his appreciation of their public declarations of support. - Names and addresses are attached.

As you know there is particular concern about the number of young people on the delegations as well as the number of women. Now that most of the state chairmen have been selected and many of the delegates are being selected, could you give me a brief update as to how many delegates there will be, the number of under age 30 delegates, and the percentage of women on most of the delegations?

GS:1m Administratively Confidential February 4, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: LARRY HIGBY FROM: GORDON STRACHAN SUBJECT: Political Letters In light of our new system to further screen the non- essential material away from Bob, we should decide whether the President will send the letters suggested by the Committee to Re-Elect the President. Ken Riets and Ken Smith suggest that the President send personal letters to the Young Voters for the President. This is the group that came to the White House on short notice last week. Riets is recommending that the President send personal letters to the attendees. Roland Elliott's view is that these letters are too blatantly political. He relies on Bob's comments at the staff briefing last week about being "non-political". Ray Price and Dave Gergen have also urged a decrease in the "political" activities. Bart Porter, who is charged with overall responsibility for this area said the group received plenty of "stroking". Therefore, unless I hear otherwise from you, I will ask Elliott not to get the letters and so inform the Committee to Re-Elect the President. Attachment GS:1m MEMORANDUM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON February 3, 1972 ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM FOR: Gordon Strachan SUBJECT: Political Letters The attached materials from Ken Smith of the Committee for the Re-Election of the President appear to be of a strictly political nature. That is, there seems to be no reasonable justification for accommodating this request other than for political campaign purposes. If this is the case, then it is in conflict with my understanding of recent guidelines which preclude this sort of activity. Your guidance and that of your office would be appre- ciated in this matter. Thank you. Attachments SKill Comes Roland L.

The group was made up of a cross section of well known young people (see attached list). They were given a tour of the White House by Mike Farrell and spent a few minutes with Dr. Kissinger, Bob Finch and Chuck Colson. Due to his working on the Vietman speech, the President was unable to meet with them. We feel it would be appropriate for a letter to be sent to each, expressing the President's regret at not being able to meet with them and his appreciation of their public declarations of support. - Names and addresses are attached.

As you probably noticed, he made a series of interesting statements regarding who he would support in November as well as expressing his opinion that Muskie was aiding the enemy. If you can obtain a copy of the transcript, please send a copy to me as we would also like to keep it in our files here. Also, the Broder column this morning on the candidates views on bussing is rather interesting in that it sights only the most recent statements by the candidates. It might be valuable to have the RNC update that booklet they did contrasting the various views that all of the candidates have taken on bussing over the last few years. In particular, Muskie's statement on "Meet the Press" is a substantial change from his position last fall. When you acquire the material it might be valuable to consider distribution.

GS:dg Follow-up one week. 23 Swiss police requested the FBI to question Irving and his wife "without delay" in connection with the $650, 000 Hughes mystery Lasky says there's no way to determine if the whole Hughes bio is a hoax, but "considerable doubt" has been cast upon the Hughes-Nixon loan segment. Clifford denies it's factual, says Lasky, and Hughes Tool spokesmen point out that the story is "rehashed" every time RN runs. In fact, Lasky notes that Justice under RFK -- investigated the story in '61 and found nothing illegal had occurred. Those who put the "autobiography" together have probably done RN a favor by surfacing the loan story so early this year as it's now "fully dis- credited, 11 says Lasky.

The number of GOPers among Calif. registered voters has dropped to its lowest percentage in 22 years, Secy. of State Brown reported. Brown said figures show that the number of registered GOPers dipped from 41. 2 to 38. 8% last year. The Dems rose by. 6% to total 55. 2%.

Under\nIowa law, no convention delegate can be bound to a candidate -- e. g. the relative\nstrength of the contenders may change as the national convention approaches.\nAN ANALYSIS\nMuskie -- The Muskie forces hoped for a clear mandate out of Iowa to add to their\n\"bandwagon\" psychology. Heavy emphasis was put on big-name endorsements by\norganization people in the state. The final \"coup\" of this strategy took\nplace on January 17, when Senator Harold Hughes surprised many state Democrats\nby announcing support of the Maine Senator. In addition, Muskie had the support\nof Iowa's 30, 000-member United Auto Workers union, the only union in the state\nto break with labor's general strategy of electing uncommitted delegates. Taking\nno chances, Muskie still brought in eight last-minute, full-time workers from\nother states.\nIn spite of this effort, the Muskie forces could not win a clear majority of\ndelegates -- a fact which will not be lost on Democratic pols around the country.\nMcGovern -- The Senator established that he is at this point still a viable\ncandidate. He concentrated his efforts on precinct organization and was able to\nslow Muskie's drive. The McGovern supporters, although a minority, seem to be\n\"activists\", who will turn out when needed at the tedious precinct meetings.\nMcGovern showed a lot of his strength in college towns. In Iowa City, heavily\npopulated student precincts produced McGovern majorities and in some instances,\nsupport for Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm. McGovern has to have this type of\nsupport to have any chance at the nomination.\nLabor -- The large number of uncommitted delegates was testimony that in this\nstate, at least, labor strategy was working. Word had gone out from George\nMeany for labor's minions to elect as many uncommitted delegates as possible\nin order to have optimum bargaining power at the Miami convention. Labor's muscle.\nalong with the hesitancy of many lower echelon Democrats to commit themselves at\nthis early date resulted in the large uncommitted vote. In addition, the uncommitted\nvote was added to by supporters of Hubert Humphrey and Edward Kennedy.\n*In 1968, Iowa cast 19 1/2 for McCarthy, 18 1/2 for HHH, 5 for McGovern and 3 for\nKennedy at the Democratic National Convention.\n-3-\nSUMMARY\nThe Iowa results are indecisive. Muskie is still the frontrunner for Miami, but\nhe hasn't got it locked up yet. He will need more than big-name endorsements to\nwin the nomination. Labor enjoyed initial success here, but the \"uncommitted\"\nstrategy will be hard to execute successfully in the other states,\nRNC RESEARCH DIVISION\nFEBRUARY 8, 1972\nTHE DEMOCRATIC DELEGATE HUNT\nREPORT ON THE CAUCUSES\nMISSISSIPPI\n1972 Democratic National Convention Votes - 25\n1972 Delegate Selection Dates\nJanuary 22.\n.......\nprecinct caucuses\nFebruary 12\n.......\ncounty conventions\nFebruary 26\n.......\nstate convention\nMississippi seems to be heading toward trouble in Miami. January 22 was the day\nunder the new-reform rules to hold precinct caucuses across the state. The\nmeetings were held -- by two different Democratic parties.\nThe morning meetings were held by the \"regulars\", who control the state party\nand virtually every public office in the state. Governor Waller is securely\nin their camp. The evening meetings were held by the \"loyalists\", the black\ndominated group that has the official recognition of the Democratic National\nCommittee. Both sets of precinct meetings were nominally \"open\", but each side\nrefused to take part in the proceedings of the other.\nBoth sets of delegates are at this point uncommitted, although Charles Evers,\nthe black national committeeman, has pledged to recruit delegates for John Lindsay.\nGovernor Waller of the \"regulars\" speaks well of Senator Jackson and Congress-\nman Wilbur Mills with more \"old-line\" members favoring Governor Wallace of Alabama.*\nChances of a compromise slate going to Miami decrease as the Democratic\nPresidential contenders chose sides in the controversy. Senator George McGovern\nhas already accused the \"regulars\" of racism. Look for a credentials fight\nin July, which could split the national Democrats again on the race issue.\n*In 1968, Mississippi cast 9 1/2 votes for Humphrey, 6 1/2 for McCarthy, 4 for\nMcGovern, and 2 for Reverend Channing Phillips at the Democratic National Convention.\nFebruary 14, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nJEB MAGRUDER\nBART PORTER\nFROM:\nGORDON STRACHAN\nSUBJECT:\nCelebrities in New Hampshire\nYou probably noticed in this mornings' Wall Street Journal, the\ncomment about which celebrities are going to New Hampshire to\nsupport their various candidates.

Most of it is sufficiently well done that we\nhope to incorporate portions in the campaign\npackage.\nI apologize for the delay.\nDave S\nEnclosure.\n(Allin/Elliott) RP\nFebruary 4, 1972\nOn January 20, 1969, America was a troubled nation. There was\ndivision in the country, disruption on the campuses, inflation in the\neconomy, crime in the cities, powderkegs in the ghettoes, backlash in\nthe suburbs, and two hundred coffins a week coming home from Vietnam.\nAs Richard Nixon took the oath of office, he inherited this bitter\nlegacy. It required both political courage and statesmanship to move\naway from war and inflation, up onto the high road of peacetime pros-\nperity. But Richard Nixon, more than any President before him, has\nquietly presided over major changes in policy and direction in our\ngovernment, and has restored our faith in the ability of our system to\nsolve its problems and reflect the basic integrity of the American\npeople.\nThe record of the Nixon Administration is clear: There have been\ndramatic new initiatives in foreign affairs designed to end our involve-\nment in the Indochina conflict and secure a lasting peace; there have\nbeen bold new economic policies to speed our progress toward a sound\nprosperity; there is a full agenda of domestic programs aimed at\ngovernment reform to make it truly responsive to the needs of our\ncitizens; and there is much else that remains to be done.\n-2-\nProgress toward achieving what the President has called the\n\"great goals\" of our society requires the cooperation and commitment\nof every American. The vast majority shares the President's con-\nviction that this is a great and good nation, one which has an extra-\nordinary capacity to set out upon a new course of action and bring\ntogether diverse elements in a creative force to improve government\nand our quality of life.\nWhere there was despair and frustration only a few years ago,\nthere is now a growing sense of hope and faith in the traditional\nstrengths of our institutions and in the fundamental goodwill of our\ncountrymen. The President has made a beginning which urgently\nmerits our support. He deserves and the Nation needs the opportunity\nto press for completion of his initiatives, both foreign and domestic.\nIn his campaign for re-election, you can demonstrate your support\nin a vital and meaningful way -- with your personal check. A contri-\nbution of $15 will enroll you as a member of the Committee. But gifts\nof $25, or $50, or $100, and larger are also welcome! If it is signif-\nicant to you, it will be significant to us, and you may be sure that every\ndollar will be used in the re-election of the President. With your\nfinancial assistance and that of other concerned individuals, we can\nmount a campaign that will take the record of this Administration\n-3-\ndirectly to the pèople, calmly but forcefully articulating its accom-\nplishments, its far-reaching proposals and its confident vision of the\nfuture.\nWe urge you to join in this high adventure. It will be an alliance\nof citizens who believe that Richard Nixon has guided the Nation\nthrough an era of adversity and has brought us to the threshhold of a\nfull generation of peace with prosperity. This is our opportunity, in\nLincoln's words, for us to \"dare to do our duty as we understand it.
