ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
June 30, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
GORDON STRACHAN
SUBJECT:
George Wallace
Facts
The attached Wallace chart indicates:
1) Wallace is on the ballots of Kansas, Kentucky,
New Jersey and Wisconsin,
2) Wallace is legally precluded from appearing on
the ballots of Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland,
Maine, Michigan, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and
West Virginia,
3) Wallace can obtain ballot position in the other
thirty-five states by receiving the American Party nomi-
nation at their Convention in Louisville, Kentucky,
August 3-5 and by petitioning.
Question
This memorandum attempts a qualitative analysis of Wallace,
emphasizing the amount of effort required to get on ballots,
whether these efforts are underway and if so by whom, and
finally a subjective guess of what he will do.
Conclusion
There is no national effort to get Wallace on the ballots.
If he decided to run, it would be easy, even in Illinois,
Texas, New York and California. I do not think he will run;
he will have had his ego trip in Miami Beach and deep down
prefers the President over front-runner McGovern.
- 2 -
Discussion
The absence of a national effort and general lack of
interest is indicated by several developments. Contact
with election officials, reporters, and right wing groups
in all states confirm there is no national direction from
Wallace. In the four states where Wallace appears on
the ballot, "local zealots" engineered the addition of his
name. In some states Wallace has instructed his followers
to work within the Party for delegates. Texas is the most
important example. Wallace recently let ballot deadlines
pass in Georgia, Hawaii, and Maine. The regional coordi-
nators responsible for obtaining ballot position are
making little or no effort. In Idaho, the AIP held a
Convention and the party chairman resigned, reportedly
out of disinterest.
However, were Wallace to decide to run, the effort required
in crucial states could be mounted quickly with varying
degrees of difficulty. In Texas, Wallace directed his
supporters to work in the Democratic primary. To get the
American Party on the Texas ballot, 22,000 signatures must
be obtained. The deadline was July 2, but the American
Party filed suit to extend the deadline until September 1.
The American Party nominated Wallace at its June 10 Convention
and is actively seeking the 22,000 signatures. A substantial
effort will be required because none of the 22,000 can have
voted in the Democratic primary. In New York, the Courage
Party (Wallace's vehicle in '68) had 100 people from 40 counties
at a meeting to push for 20,000 signatures needed by August 31.
In Illinois, 25,000 signatures would have to be obtained
between July 31 and August 7. The organization to do this
seems to be ready. In Arkansas, signatures were submitted
but many were disqualified and enthusiasm is reportedly waning.
The deadline is July 15. In Mississippi, the 1,000 signatures
could be obtained in 20 minutes.
Wallace could be on the ballot in eighteen states (including
California and Ohio), if he were nominated in Louisville on
August 3-5. With little effort he could be on the ballots
by petition of another seventeen states (including Illinois,
New York and Texas). His "local zealots" could put him on
the ballot in New York and Texas as they have done in New
Jersey.
The decision to run on a third party ticket is Wallace's.
GS/jb
Committee for the Re-election of the President
MEMORALDUM
June 29, 1972
MEMORANDUM FOR:
THE HONORABLE JOHN N. MITCHELL
THROUGH:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
FROM:
GLENN J. SEDAM, JR.
SUBJECT:
Governor Wallace
In my memorandum of June 12, 1972 we reviewed the laws of each
of the fifty states and the District of Columbia to determine
those stategin which Governor Wallace will be precluded from
being a Presidential Candidate, and to determine the legal actions
the Governor must take to obtain a ballot position in those states
in which it is still possible for him to qualify.
This memorandum updates the information in the June 12 memorandum
reflecting filing deadlines which have past since June 12. This
memorandum further provides 3 subjective analysis of a Wallace third
party possibility.
After talking with election officials, reporters and GOP leaders in
the various states, it is my opinion that Governor Wallace still does
not, at this time, contemplate a third party candidacy. Attorneys
and regional coordinators for the Governor responsible for obtaining
ballot position seem to be making little or no effort to accomplish
that goal and have allowed the deadlines to pass in Georgia, Hawaii
and Maine without filing.
In Idsho the State AIP convention was held last week and the state
party reportedly nominated a Mr. Steinbacker for President. The AIP
also held a convention in Arkansas last Saturday and it is reported
that the licad of the state party for the last few years, Mr. Walter
Carruth, stepped down. All of which seems to confirm a pattern of
disinterest.
In Kansas, the conservative party met on June 20 and nominated
Governor Wallace for President. The Governor therefor now has a
ballot position in:
Kansas
New Jersey
Kentucky
Wisconsin
The Honorable John N. Mitchell
June 29, 1972
Page 2
The Govenor can not run, either because deadlines have passed or because
statutes bar him after participating in a primary in:
Georgia
Michigan
llawaid
Nebraska
Idaho
Oregon
Indiana
Pennsylvania
Maryland
West Virginia
Maine
The Covernor can obtain ballot position in all the other thirty-six states.
The American Party wants to keep its movement alive and will nominate
another candidate if Covernor Vallace does not seek their nomination.
The American Party, and affiliated parties, will meet in Louisville, Kentucky
August 3-5. If they nominate Governor Wallace, he vill obtain nearly
automatic ballot position in the following states:
Alabama (under the Independent Party)
Alaske
New Hempshire
California
New Mexico
Connecticut Ohio
Delaware
Oklahoma
Iowa
South Carolina
Louisiona
Tennessee
Montana
Utah
Virginia
While there is no apparent push by the national Wallace organization, local
Wallace enthusiasts in some of the above states are working to obtain the
requisite number of signatures to qualify the Governor for ballot position.
The situation in the states where there has been activity is as follows:
Arkansas - the AIP filed more than enough signatures to qualify for
the ballot, but many were disqualified. They ended up 7,000 signatures
short. The Attorney General has extended the decdlinetill July 15. It is
reported that enthusiasm has waned and there is no activity to get the
additional 7,000 signatures.
Illinois - the needed 25,000 signatures could, with a push be
obtained. The period for doing SO is July 31 to August 7, and the
organization and enthusiasm seems to be available to accomplish the job.
Missicsippi-would be no problem, only 1,000 signatures needed.
New York --- an article in the June 18, 1972 issue of The New York
Times reported that the Courage Party (the party under which Wallace ran
**
The Henorable John 2. Mitchell
June 29, 1972
Page 3
in New York in 1968) had 100 persons from 40 counties present at a state
meeting and plans to push for the 20,000 signatures needed to get
Governor Wallace on the ballot. They could obtain a ballot position
for the Governor even if he were not nominated in Louisville.
Texas -- a petition drive has been underway, but has been
faltering because persons voting the democratic primary were barred from
signing, and because the 22,000 signatures had to be obtained between June
3, and July 2, 1972. The AP therefore brought suit against the Secretary
of State (AP V. Bob Bullock, 11.0. 72-CA50 U.S.D.C. Midland, Texas) and
received a temporary restraining order against Bullock prohibiting Bullock
from refusing their petitions with Democratic voters as signatories and
from refusing petitions received until September 1, 1972. The AP is
actively secking the needed signatures. The AP held a state convention in
Dallas OD June 10, 1972 and nominated Covernor Wallace.
Conclusion
There is no national effort underway to obtain ballot position for The
Governor for November.
However, should he decide to van he could easily get automatic bellot
position in cighteen states (including California and Ohio) by being
nominated by The American Party at its convention August 3 - 5. Further
he could, with a little effort, get ballot position by petition in eighteen
more states (including Illinois, New York and Texas).
Its all up to The Governor himself. Without his imprimitur he will be on
the ballot in only about four states. But if he were to say The Word,
he would be on in forty states.
Even if he does not give his imprimitur, local enthusiasts on their own
initiative could get him on the ballot in such important states as New York
and Texas. They have already done so in New Jersey.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
GORDON STRACHAN
SUBJECT:
Convention
I reviewed your notes on the Convention with Chapin
by telephone. He had only one question. On Page 15
he suggested Billy Graham as the Clergyman for the
Benediction. Chapin wonders whether he should approach
Graham now or whether the President or you will do it
when the President meets with Graham in California.
Chapin to approach Graham now.
Chapin not to approach Graham now.

HIGH PRIORITY
MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
DWIGHT L. CHAPIN
SUBJECT:
Convention
Aside from the more formal participants in the Convention
such as the keynoter, temporary chairman, etc., there are
many others who are only part of the overall show. These are
the types who give the flag salute, sing the anthems, offer
the prayers, benedictions and so on.
In the attached document I have circled the events and personalities
I want you to note. There are hours of discussion behind almost
each choice. However, there is no reason to bother you with all
the arguments.
We are launching off and trying to obtain the talent as indicated.
Undoubtedly we will never get everyone and there will be
sibstitutions. The attached is our first choice (you may notice
some holes we are still trying to fill) and we are using it as a starter.
If you see any problems, please indicate. What we want is approval
to move off today and start locking the talent up.
Dick Moore, Gordon and I (Carruthers, I think, would agree) want
to go after the talent. Most of our choices in terms of program
appearances will work out. We may end up with a couple of odd-ball
awkward mistakes. If so, we will finesse them and no one will ever
know the difference except us and the celebrity involved.
RECOMMENDATION: (From Chapin and Moore)
Approve attached plan in terms of talent.

MEMORANDUM FOR 1
H.R. HALDEMAN
FROM :
GORDON STRACHAN
Since the President is working on his briefing book, you might
be interested in reviewing some of the advertising and convention
promotion material. According to Dailey it is in "layout" form.
The "final art" will not require your approval for two weeks, but
Dailey believes you would get a general idea by reviewing some
of the materials now. Dailey left for California this morning,
but Phil Joanou could review the materials with you in 20 minutes
or I could just bring the materials up from my office for your
review, without Joanou,
Review with Joanou
Review without Joanou
Don't review
Chapin has reviewed these materials, but thinks you should also
because he is concerned about the picture of the President. He
likes the lines around the eyes, but believes that upon reproduction,
the eyes themselves will be black.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
GORDON STRACHAN
SUBJECT:
Lyn Nofziger - California
Lyn Nofziger is in Washington today. He has been meeting
with Mardian, Malek, Magruder, and others at 1701.
Nofziger wonders whether you would like to discuss the
California campaign with him. Nofziger is not pushing
for a meeting, but wanted you to know he was available.
In light of the memorandum you signed for Mitchell on
California (which has not been delivered to him) you
may want to talk with Nofziger.
Whether you see Nofziger or not, I will talk with him
at length.
Recommendation: That you see Nofziger today so that when
you discuss the California situation with Mitchell you will
have given Nofziger a hearing.
Haldeman see Nofziger.
Haldeman will not see Nofziger.
Re-schedule.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
GORDON STRACHAN
SUBJECT:
Discussion with Tom Benham
Discussion with Tom Benham developed several interesting
points:
1) 1972 will not be a Johnson-Goldwater re-run
because there are too many Democrats and too few Republicans.
However, if Benham were asked to pick a percentage it would
be 55-45%
2) The President will receive substantial labor votes
because all the labor surveys that ORC has conducted indi-
cates that the labor rank and file likes the President.
The labor leaders have separated themselves from their
followers;
3) It would be very helpful to have some Democrats,
hopefully Congressmen and Senators, denounce the Democratic
ticket. This was one of the most effective things against
Goldwater in 1964,
4) The President should campaign on peace with strong
emphasis on the Peking and Moscow trips; a typical line
would be "Peace for our Children";
5) To respond to the Democratic attacks on inflation,
Benham suggests we push the line "United States Inflation
Rate Lowest in the World",
6) In choosing an enemy to run against, Benham believes
that Congress and McGovern make excellent targets. lie does
not feel that we should run against Ford Motor Co. as being
- 2 -
unable to comply with pollution standards. Benham believes
this in spite of the fact that environment and pollution
control are increasingly popular with the public. The
reason Benham does not believe we should run against Ford
is that the general public will sympathize with Ford when
they go to their local Ford dealer and cannot buy a car;
7) Instead of attacking McGovern as a radical (which
only businessmen on Wall Street believe) McGovern should
be painted as naive, amateur, and too simple. He has goals
but can't reach them because he hasn't thought through his
proposals. An excellent line to push is that of his supporters
that Congress will restrain McGovern's nutty ideas so people
needn't worry about them. This requires Congress to assume
a leadership role which the public does not feel Congress is
capable of doing,
8) Benham believes that the thrust of McGovern's campaign
will be to paint Richard Nixon as an ogre, totally controlled
by Big Business, the influence peddlers, ITT, etc.,
9) As to McGovern's Vice Presidential nominee, Benham
doubts that he will choose Kevin White to bring the Catholic
vote back to the Democrats. It is Benham's opinion that 1960
ended the political rule that a Catholic votes for a Catholic
just because he is a Catholic. Benham believes that the
President will retain his Catholic strength because of his
stands on abortion and parochial aid;
10) Benham doubts that the President can carry New York.
He says he will believe it when he sees it. If the President
does carry New York, Benham believes it will be one of the
biggest election landelides ever.
11) Although George Wallace is on the ballot in New
Jersey, there is absolutely no Wallace activity currently
in New Jersey;
12) Concerning the Keynote Speech for the Republican
Convention, Tom Benham believes that something analogous
to Roosevelt's 1932 speech would be excellent. That was
the speech where Roosevelt listed a litany of "Republicans
Say X But They Voted Against X". It was a devastating
political speech because it painted the Republicans as
deceitful and covetous of office. He believes that a very
similar speech could be put together based on McGovern's
- 3 -
quotes. As to the Keynoter, Tom Benham suggests someone
like Don Rumsfeld, who is young, non-ideological, and an
excellent speaker. He believes that if Edward Brooke
would deliver the type of Roosevelt speech that he suggests,
it would be very effective. He does not think that the fact
that Brooke is a black would be a problem because the white
intolerants will say that he is a good token black and the
white moderates will say that Brooke is a perfect example
of the progressive Republican Party.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
GORDON STRACHAN
SUBJECT:
'72 RNC Convention
Bill Timmons wants your views on the personalities to nominate,
second, and introduce the President. He also wants your comments
on the Keynoter for the Convention (Timmons' memorandum at Tab A).
These decisions are so basic to the political appearance of the Con-
vention that you should discuss them personally with Mitchell and the
President rather than give an advisory opinion to Timmons.
It is Chapin's view that Timmons is moving toward commitments of
the First Family and the T.V. appearance of the Convention that may
not be the best use of the resources. You have read Timmons' memo-
randa on the " '72 Convention Events for the First Family" and the
program schedule. The originals with your notes are at Tab B.
Chapin and Carruthers, not Timmons and Moore, should have the final
authority on the T.V. appearance of the Convention. You told Chapin
to "get on top of this (Convention T.V. and First Family) and stay there."
To assert Chapin's role you should send the Timmons memoranda back
to him with the cover note prepared for your signature at Tab C.

McGovern Materials
You last saw Peter Dailey on June 2, for a general review
of the campaign advertising. Subject to further testing,
the slogan "President Noxon - Now More Than Ever" was
approved. The test was favorable and Mitchell gave Dailey
final approval.
Dailey's November Group now has the slogan in the "final,
three different comprehensive layouts". The final choice
would be for bumper stickers, buttons, newspaper print,
etc. This would be a graphic presentation.
In addition, you could watch the McGovern documentary and
spots. Mike Lesser of November Group has an excellent oral
analysis of these materials. His written summary is attached.
The entire meeting -- layouts, McGovern materials, and Lesser
analysis -- can be done in one hour.

Davies claimed that these were not final figures but were
very close, "within a point or two". He would not give me
two-way results, but did say these figures would probably
be released Sunday, July 2, 1972.
- 2 -
Also of considerable interest is the Gallup National
Referendum. Gallup will try to interview voters in four
"barometer" counties - New London County, Connecticut;
Shelby County, Tennessee, Montgomery County, Illinois,
and San Luis Obispo County, California. These counties
accurately reflected the sentiment of the country in 1968,
'64, '60, and '56. The interviewing will be done between
June 28 and July 2. The first series of results will be
published July 9. John Davies will not be available before
then but I will try to get the results from George Gallup, Jr.
The questions on the referendum will be:
Proposition #1: "The U.S. should withdraw all troops from
Vietnam by the end of this year."
"The U.S. should not withdraw all troops
from Vietnam by the end of this year."
Proposition #2: "I favor busing school children to achieve
a better racial balance in the schools."
"I oppose busing school children to achieve
a better racial balance in the schools."
Proposition #3: "I think the national budget for military
and defense spending should be decreased."
"I think the national budget for military
and defense spending should not be decreased.'
Proposition #4: "I favor the legalization of abortion."
"I oppose the legalization of abortion."
Proposition #5: "Young men who have left the U.S. to
avoid the draft should be allowed to return to this country
without some form of punishment."
"Young men who have left the U.S. to
avoid the draft should not be allowed to return to this country
without some form of punishment."
Proposition #6: "Wage/price controls should be made more
strict than they are at present."
"Wage/price controls should not be made
more strict than they are at present."
- 3 -
Proposition #7: "I favor a plan which would guarantee
every family a minimum income of at least $2,400 a year."
"I oppose a plan which would guarantee
every family a minimum income of at least $2,400 a year."
Proposition #8; "I think the police and other law
enforcement agencies in the U.S. should be tougher than
they are now in dealing with crime and lawlessness."
"I think the police and other law
enforcement agencies in the U.S. should not be tougher than
they are now in dealing with crime and lawlessness."
Proposition #9: "Which one of the following persons
would you like to see nominated as the Democratic candidate??
(Full selection)
Proposition #10: "Which one of the following persons
would you like to see nominated as the Democratic candidate?"

Unfortunately, there will be no follow-up questions. I
suggested questions asking about the consequences of U.S.
troop withdrawal or defense cuts, but Gallup will only use
the questions as given above.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
GORDON STRACHAN
SUBJECT:
Polling Matters
Chuck Colson sent you the attached memorandum summarizing
his discussion with the President. The President suggested
to Colson that ORC conduct a poll on some of McGovern's
positions including troops home before POW's, amnesty,
marijuana, abortion, and welfare proposals. The President's
position would be contrasted and ORC would issue a press
release. Colson recommends waiting until after the Demo-
cratic Convention.
The questions suggested are being asked in the Wave II
Campaign Surveys, which is in the field now. ORC is doing
the national oversample. These national results will be
available July 16 and could be released then. Of course,
a quick ORC telephone poll could be done for a release in
August or September emphasizing McGovern's radical stands.
Another possibility is the use of Decision Making Information
"Listening Post" survey. The political questions on this
commercial monthly telephone poll in Los Angeles and Orange
County were sent to Tom Reed, the Republican National Committee-
man in California. Bob Teeter now has direct control of those
questions. There will be four opportunities between now and
November to have questions added. The deadline for the July
survey is Monday, June 26. Teeter has asked them to continue
their trend questions on trial heats (McGovern and Humphrey,
with and without Wallace), the President's approval and why,
the President's handling of Vietnam, and the economy. The
results will be available to Teeter during the third week
of August and will not be released to the public without
Teeter's clearance. Teeter can add two or three additional
questions and I suggested the legalization of marijuana and
amnesty. They will be phrased as the Wave II questions are,
will give us a reading during July, and will be available for
possible release to the press in late August or early September.

The President mentioned to me the other day that he would like
to see an ORC poll sometime in which a series of issue-oriented
questions are asked. The issues would be those on which there
is a clear difference between the President and McGovern. For
example, bringing all the troops home before the POWs are
released, unrestricted amnesty, legalizing marijuana, abortion,
$1000 welfare benefits, etc. etc. The President's feeling is that
the vast majority would support the Nixon position as against
the McGovern position and this would make a very worthwhile
press release by ORC.
He simply asked that I take it up with you. For what it's worth, I
personally believe that this might be very effective, but not until
after the Democratic Convention and perhaps not until September.
The other side of the argument is that McGovern will have shifted
all his positions by then and the poll data would be considered
irrelevant. It would be one clear way of showing that the people
support the President's stand as against McGovern's.

SUBJECT:
'72 RNC Convention
Bill Timmons wants your views on the personalities to
nominate, second, and introduce the President. He also
wants your comments on the Keynoter for the Convention
(Timmons' memorandum at Tab A). These decisions are so
basic to the political appearance of the Convention that
you should discuss them personally with Mitchell and the
President rather than give an advisory opinion to Timmons.
It is Chapin's view that Timmons is moving toward commit-
ments of the First Family and the TV appearance of the
Convention that may not be the best use of the resources.
You have read Timmons' memoranda on the # '72 Convention
Events for the First Family" and the program schedule.
The originals with your notes are at Tab B.
Chapin and Carrouthers, not Timmons and Moore, should
have the final authority on the TV appearance of the
Convention. You told Chapin to "get on top of this
(Convention TV and First Family) and stay there". To
assert Chapin's role you should send the Timmmns memo-
randa back to him with the cover note prepared for your
signature at Tab C.

SUBJECT:
George Wallace - Physical
Condition and Political Plans
Harry Dent maintains some contact with the Wallace organization.
Tom Turnipseed, former Wallace Chief of Staff - "I'll make
Mrs. Wallace the Jackie Kennedy of the rednecks" - is the
primary contact. He is not formally associated now with the
Wallace staff but sees the Governor and his people regularly.
Turnipseed practices law in South Carolina. Dent has helped
that practice. In return, Turnipseed has told Dent that at
the McGovern-Wallace meeting at the hospital, Wallace told
McGovern to keep his hands off his (Wallace's) delegates.
McGovern responded by saying that he had instructed his dele-
gates in states where Wallace received a majority of the votes
(Michigan) to vote for Wallace on the first ballot. Wallace
was wary but pleased. Dent has not contacted Turnipseed in
the last few days because Turnipseed wants more law business
and money.
Wallace Henley, on Dent's staff, talks with his former colleagues
in Alabama. One is a reporter who has covered Wallace for
20 years. These sources indicate that Wallace is in much worse
physical condition than press reports indicate. Wallace plans
on going to the Democratic convention in a wheel chair even if
it kills him. It may well do just that.
All of Bent and Henley's contacts are convinced that Wallace
will not pursue a third party route this fall.
I have not asked Magruder to check Mitchell on any other lines
to Wallace. However, in light of the June 12 Action Memorandum
(attached) that Dent should see George Wallace personally, you
may want to cover this personally with Mitchell or with
Ehrlichman's political group.

Mrs. Nixon read Jack Anderson's column yesterday about
the "President's Men Campaigning in Style". She makes
the point that she has been worried about expenditures
since 1968.
Would you mind writing her about the campaign's real
expenditures which I understand are comprised of coach
class airfares, few expense cards, and inexpensive hotel
rooms.
Thank you.

HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nGORDON STRACHAN\nSUBJECT:\nGeorge Wallace\nFacts\nThe attached Wallace chart indicates:\n1) Wallace is on the ballots of Kansas, Kentucky,\nNew Jersey and Wisconsin,\n2) Wallace is legally precluded from appearing on\nthe ballots of Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Maryland,\nMaine, Michigan, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and\nWest Virginia,\n3) Wallace can obtain ballot position in the other\nthirty-five states by receiving the American Party nomi-\nnation at their Convention in Louisville, Kentucky,\nAugust 3-5 and by petitioning.\nQuestion\nThis memorandum attempts a qualitative analysis of Wallace,\nemphasizing the amount of effort required to get on ballots,\nwhether these efforts are underway and if so by whom, and\nfinally a subjective guess of what he will do.\nConclusion\nThere is no national effort to get Wallace on the ballots.\nIf he decided to run, it would be easy, even in Illinois,\nTexas, New York and California. I do not think he will run;\nhe will have had his ego trip in Miami Beach and deep down\nprefers the President over front-runner McGovern.\n- 2 -\nDiscussion\nThe absence of a national effort and general lack of\ninterest is indicated by several developments. Contact\nwith election officials, reporters, and right wing groups\nin all states confirm there is no national direction from\nWallace. In the four states where Wallace appears on\nthe ballot, \"local zealots\" engineered the addition of his\nname. In some states Wallace has instructed his followers\nto work within the Party for delegates. Texas is the most\nimportant example. Wallace recently let ballot deadlines\npass in Georgia, Hawaii, and Maine. The regional coordi-\nnators responsible for obtaining ballot position are\nmaking little or no effort. In Idaho, the AIP held a\nConvention and the party chairman resigned, reportedly\nout of disinterest.\nHowever, were Wallace to decide to run, the effort required\nin crucial states could be mounted quickly with varying\ndegrees of difficulty. In Texas, Wallace directed his\nsupporters to work in the Democratic primary. To get the\nAmerican Party on the Texas ballot, 22,000 signatures must\nbe obtained. The deadline was July 2, but the American\nParty filed suit to extend the deadline until September 1.\nThe American Party nominated Wallace at its June 10 Convention\nand is actively seeking the 22,000 signatures. A substantial\neffort will be required because none of the 22,000 can have\nvoted in the Democratic primary. In New York, the Courage\nParty (Wallace's vehicle in '68) had 100 people from 40 counties\nat a meeting to push for 20,000 signatures needed by August 31.\nIn Illinois, 25,000 signatures would have to be obtained\nbetween July 31 and August 7. The organization to do this\nseems to be ready. In Arkansas, signatures were submitted\nbut many were disqualified and enthusiasm is reportedly waning.\nThe deadline is July 15. In Mississippi, the 1,000 signatures\ncould be obtained in 20 minutes.\nWallace could be on the ballot in eighteen states (including\nCalifornia and Ohio), if he were nominated in Louisville on\nAugust 3-5. With little effort he could be on the ballots\nby petition of another seventeen states (including Illinois,\nNew York and Texas). His \"local zealots\" could put him on\nthe ballot in New York and Texas as they have done in New\nJersey.\nThe decision to run on a third party ticket is Wallace's.\nGS/jb\nCommittee for the Re-election of the President\nMEMORALDUM\nJune 29, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nTHE HONORABLE JOHN N. MITCHELL\nTHROUGH:\nJEB S. MAGRUDER\nFROM:\nGLENN J. SEDAM, JR.\nSUBJECT:\nGovernor Wallace\nIn my memorandum of June 12, 1972 we reviewed the laws of each\nof the fifty states and the District of Columbia to determine\nthose stategin which Governor Wallace will be precluded from\nbeing a Presidential Candidate, and to determine the legal actions\nthe Governor must take to obtain a ballot position in those states\nin which it is still possible for him to qualify.\nThis memorandum updates the information in the June 12 memorandum\nreflecting filing deadlines which have past since June 12. This\nmemorandum further provides 3 subjective analysis of a Wallace third\nparty possibility.\nAfter talking with election officials, reporters and GOP leaders in\nthe various states, it is my opinion that Governor Wallace still does\nnot, at this time, contemplate a third party candidacy. Attorneys\nand regional coordinators for the Governor responsible for obtaining\nballot position seem to be making little or no effort to accomplish\nthat goal and have allowed the deadlines to pass in Georgia, Hawaii\nand Maine without filing.\nIn Idsho the State AIP convention was held last week and the state\nparty reportedly nominated a Mr. Steinbacker for President. The AIP\nalso held a convention in Arkansas last Saturday and it is reported\nthat the licad of the state party for the last few years, Mr. Walter\nCarruth, stepped down. All of which seems to confirm a pattern of\ndisinterest.\nIn Kansas, the conservative party met on June 20 and nominated\nGovernor Wallace for President. The Governor therefor now has a\nballot position in:\nKansas\nNew Jersey\nKentucky\nWisconsin\nThe Honorable John N. Mitchell\nJune 29, 1972\nPage 2\nThe Govenor can not run, either because deadlines have passed or because\nstatutes bar him after participating in a primary in:\nGeorgia\nMichigan\nllawaid\nNebraska\nIdaho\nOregon\nIndiana\nPennsylvania\nMaryland\nWest Virginia\nMaine\nThe Covernor can obtain ballot position in all the other thirty-six states.\nThe American Party wants to keep its movement alive and will nominate\nanother candidate if Covernor Vallace does not seek their nomination.\nThe American Party, and affiliated parties, will meet in Louisville, Kentucky\nAugust 3-5. If they nominate Governor Wallace, he vill obtain nearly\nautomatic ballot position in the following states:\nAlabama (under the Independent Party)\nAlaske\nNew Hempshire\nCalifornia\nNew Mexico\nConnecticut Ohio\nDelaware\nOklahoma\nIowa\nSouth Carolina\nLouisiona\nTennessee\nMontana\nUtah\nVirginia\nWhile there is no apparent push by the national Wallace organization, local\nWallace enthusiasts in some of the above states are working to obtain the\nrequisite number of signatures to qualify the Governor for ballot position.\nThe situation in the states where there has been activity is as follows:\nArkansas - the AIP filed more than enough signatures to qualify for\nthe ballot, but many were disqualified. They ended up 7,000 signatures\nshort. The Attorney General has extended the decdlinetill July 15. It is\nreported that enthusiasm has waned and there is no activity to get the\nadditional 7,000 signatures.\nIllinois - the needed 25,000 signatures could, with a push be\nobtained. The period for doing SO is July 31 to August 7, and the\norganization and enthusiasm seems to be available to accomplish the job.\nMissicsippi-would be no problem, only 1,000 signatures needed.\nNew York --- an article in the June 18, 1972 issue of The New York\nTimes reported that the Courage Party (the party under which Wallace ran\n**\nThe Henorable John 2. Mitchell\nJune 29, 1972\nPage 3\nin New York in 1968) had 100 persons from 40 counties present at a state\nmeeting and plans to push for the 20,000 signatures needed to get\nGovernor Wallace on the ballot. They could obtain a ballot position\nfor the Governor even if he were not nominated in Louisville.\nTexas -- a petition drive has been underway, but has been\nfaltering because persons voting the democratic primary were barred from\nsigning, and because the 22,000 signatures had to be obtained between June\n3, and July 2, 1972. The AP therefore brought suit against the Secretary\nof State (AP V. Bob Bullock, 11.0. 72-CA50 U.S.D.C. Midland, Texas) and\nreceived a temporary restraining order against Bullock prohibiting Bullock\nfrom refusing their petitions with Democratic voters as signatories and\nfrom refusing petitions received until September 1, 1972. The AP is\nactively secking the needed signatures. The AP held a state convention in\nDallas OD June 10, 1972 and nominated Covernor Wallace.\nConclusion\nThere is no national effort underway to obtain ballot position for The\nGovernor for November.\nHowever, should he decide to van he could easily get automatic bellot\nposition in cighteen states (including California and Ohio) by being\nnominated by The American Party at its convention August 3 - 5. Further\nhe could, with a little effort, get ballot position by petition in eighteen\nmore states (including Illinois, New York and Texas).\nIts all up to The Governor himself. Without his imprimitur he will be on\nthe ballot in only about four states. But if he were to say The Word,\nhe would be on in forty states.\nEven if he does not give his imprimitur, local enthusiasts on their own\ninitiative could get him on the ballot in such important states as New York\nand Texas. They have already done so in New Jersey.\nCAT\nAS\nDU\nASTION\nSTATE\nNO\n5.00\nDATE\nNo.\nYes\nNew party\nPotition:\n7/31\nA.\n%...\nAIP\n9/9\n(See text)\nMent.\nYes\nAP\nConvention\n9/23\nM...\nYes\nAP\nRequest\n8/10\nNob.\nNo\nAll applicable filing dates passes.\nAris.\nYes\nRegistrary\nPotition:\n7/14\nNev.\nYes\nNew party\nPotition:\n7/7\n6,802 nign.\nArk.\nYes\nAll\nConsention\n5/4-5/24\nN.E.\nYes\n22\nCertify\n7/23\nCal.\nYes\nAIP\nCorrifien-\n9/6\nLion\nN.J.\nYes\nAP\nAlready\nqualified\nColo.\nYes\nNew Party\nPetition:\n9/24\nN.M.\nYes\nAID\nCertify &\n9/12\n300 sign.\nPotition:\nit last\nCoan.\nY+,\nGeorge\n9/20\nvote\nVallace\nParty\nN.Y.\nYes\nIndep.\nPetition:\n8/28-31\n20,000 sigs.\nDol.\nYes\nAIP\nConvention\n7/12\n$ Certify\n9/1\nN.C.\nYes\nAP\nNational\n(See to:-\nConvention\nD.C.\nYes\nNew Party\nPetition:\n3/15\n200,000 sign.\nN.D.\nYes\nNew party\nPetition:\n9/29\n300 sigs.\nFlo.\nYes\nNew Party\nPetitlen:\n8/15\nlast vote\nOhio\nYes\nAI?\nConvention\n8/25\nGa.\nNo\nNo Petitions Filed\nOkla.\nYes\nAP\nConvention\n8/20\nOre.\nNo\nRan in primary and lost.\nHawaii\nNo\nNo Petitions filed\nPa.\nNo (See All applicable filing dates passed.\nIdaho\nNo\nNo fetitions Filed\ntext)\n111.\nYes\nNew Party\nPetition:\n7/31-0/7\nR.I.\nYes\nIndep.\nPetition:\n7/25.\n500 sigs.\nS.C.\nYes\nA2\nCertify\n10/4\nInd.\nSee\nNew Party\nPotition:\n0/1\nText\nS.D.\nYes\nIndep.\nPetition:\n9/2\n2% prior\nIown\nYes\nvote\nAIP\nConvention\n8/4-9/3\nTenn.\nYes\nID\nConvention\n9/7\nKaH3.\nYes\nConservative Already Nominated\nTex.\nYes\nNew party\nPotition:\n7/2\n22,300 sigs.\nKty.\nYes\nAP\nAlready Qualified\n& Convention\n9/19\n1.3.\nYes\nAP\nCertify\n9/13\nUtah\nYes\nAIP\nConvention\n7/31\nMe.\nVt.\nYes\nNew party\nPotition:\n9/20\nNo.\nNo Potitions Filed\n1,535 sigs.\nMJ.\nNo.\nNo Certificate of Cindidacy Filed\nVa.\nYes\nAIP\nPetition:\n9/0\nMass.\nYes\nNew Party\n9,105 sigs.\nPetition:\n7/5\nWn.\n56,033 sign.\nYes\nNew party\nConvention E\n9/13\nPotition:\n9/26\nMich.\nNo (See\nItan primary and lost\n100 sign.\nText)\nW.

R. HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nDWIGHT L. CHAPIN\nSUBJECT:\nConvention\nAside from the more formal participants in the Convention\nsuch as the keynoter, temporary chairman, etc., there are\nmany others who are only part of the overall show. These are\nthe types who give the flag salute, sing the anthems, offer\nthe prayers, benedictions and so on.\nIn the attached document I have circled the events and personalities\nI want you to note. There are hours of discussion behind almost\neach choice. However, there is no reason to bother you with all\nthe arguments.\nWe are launching off and trying to obtain the talent as indicated.\nUndoubtedly we will never get everyone and there will be\nsibstitutions. The attached is our first choice (you may notice\nsome holes we are still trying to fill) and we are using it as a starter.\nIf you see any problems, please indicate. What we want is approval\nto move off today and start locking the talent up.\nDick Moore, Gordon and I (Carruthers, I think, would agree) want\nto go after the talent. Most of our choices in terms of program\nappearances will work out. We may end up with a couple of odd-ball\nawkward mistakes. If so, we will finesse them and no one will ever\nknow the difference except us and the celebrity involved.\nRECOMMENDATION: (From Chapin and Moore)\nApprove attached plan in terms of talent.\nApprove\nDisapprove see notes\nCC:\nDick Moore\nGordon Strachan\nREVISED 04 - June 22, 1972\n1972 REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION\nMiami Beach, Florida\nMONDAY, AUGUST 21, 1972\nFIRST SESSION - CONTINUED\nTIME\nSUBJECT\nRNC SPEAKER\nPERSONALITIES\nMULTI-MEDIA\n- 1:11 - 1:13 PM\nIntroduction of\nIf Needed - (Lights Only)\nNone\nVicki Carr\nInvocation by Clergy-\n(2 Minutes)\nClergymen and\nMan (1 1/2 minutes)\nInvocation\nMiami Clergyman\n- 1:13 - 1:18 PM\nAddress of Welcome\nSen.

According to Dailey it is in \"layout\" form.\nThe \"final art\" will not require your approval for two weeks, but\nDailey believes you would get a general idea by reviewing some\nof the materials now. Dailey left for California this morning,\nbut Phil Joanou could review the materials with you in 20 minutes\nor I could just bring the materials up from my office for your\nreview, without Joanou,\nReview with Joanou\nReview without Joanou\nDon't review\nChapin has reviewed these materials, but thinks you should also\nbecause he is concerned about the picture of the President.

HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nGORDON STRACHAN\nSUBJECT:\nLyn Nofziger - California\nLyn Nofziger is in Washington today. He has been meeting\nwith Mardian, Malek, Magruder, and others at 1701.\nNofziger wonders whether you would like to discuss the\nCalifornia campaign with him. Nofziger is not pushing\nfor a meeting, but wanted you to know he was available.\nIn light of the memorandum you signed for Mitchell on\nCalifornia (which has not been delivered to him) you\nmay want to talk with Nofziger.\nWhether you see Nofziger or not, I will talk with him\nat length.\nRecommendation: That you see Nofziger today so that when\nyou discuss the California situation with Mitchell you will\nhave given Nofziger a hearing.\nHaldeman see Nofziger.\nHaldeman will not see Nofziger.\nRe-schedule.\nGS/jb\nADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL\nJune 28, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nH. R. HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nGORDON STRACHAN\nSUBJECT:\nDiscussion with Tom Benham\nDiscussion with Tom Benham developed several interesting\npoints:\n1) 1972 will not be a Johnson-Goldwater re-run\nbecause there are too many Democrats and too few Republicans.\nHowever, if Benham were asked to pick a percentage it would\nbe 55-45%\n2) The President will receive substantial labor votes\nbecause all the labor surveys that ORC has conducted indi-\ncates that the labor rank and file likes the President.\nThe labor leaders have separated themselves from their\nfollowers;\n3) It would be very helpful to have some Democrats,\nhopefully Congressmen and Senators, denounce the Democratic\nticket. This was one of the most effective things against\nGoldwater in 1964,\n4) The President should campaign on peace with strong\nemphasis on the Peking and Moscow trips; a typical line\nwould be \"Peace for our Children\";\n5) To respond to the Democratic attacks on inflation,\nBenham suggests we push the line \"United States Inflation\nRate Lowest in the World\",\n6) In choosing an enemy to run against, Benham believes\nthat Congress and McGovern make excellent targets. lie does\nnot feel that we should run against Ford Motor Co. as being\n- 2 -\nunable to comply with pollution standards. Benham believes\nthis in spite of the fact that environment and pollution\ncontrol are increasingly popular with the public. The\nreason Benham does not believe we should run against Ford\nis that the general public will sympathize with Ford when\nthey go to their local Ford dealer and cannot buy a car;\n7) Instead of attacking McGovern as a radical (which\nonly businessmen on Wall Street believe) McGovern should\nbe painted as naive, amateur, and too simple. He has goals\nbut can't reach them because he hasn't thought through his\nproposals. An excellent line to push is that of his supporters\nthat Congress will restrain McGovern's nutty ideas so people\nneedn't worry about them. This requires Congress to assume\na leadership role which the public does not feel Congress is\ncapable of doing,\n8) Benham believes that the thrust of McGovern's campaign\nwill be to paint Richard Nixon as an ogre, totally controlled\nby Big Business, the influence peddlers, ITT, etc.,\n9) As to McGovern's Vice Presidential nominee, Benham\ndoubts that he will choose Kevin White to bring the Catholic\nvote back to the Democrats. It is Benham's opinion that 1960\nended the political rule that a Catholic votes for a Catholic\njust because he is a Catholic. Benham believes that the\nPresident will retain his Catholic strength because of his\nstands on abortion and parochial aid;\n10) Benham doubts that the President can carry New York.\nHe says he will believe it when he sees it. If the President\ndoes carry New York, Benham believes it will be one of the\nbiggest election landelides ever.\n11) Although George Wallace is on the ballot in New\nJersey, there is absolutely no Wallace activity currently\nin New Jersey;\n12) Concerning the Keynote Speech for the Republican\nConvention, Tom Benham believes that something analogous\nto Roosevelt's 1932 speech would be excellent. That was\nthe speech where Roosevelt listed a litany of \"Republicans\nSay X But They Voted Against X\". It was a devastating\npolitical speech because it painted the Republicans as\ndeceitful and covetous of office. He believes that a very\nsimilar speech could be put together based on McGovern's\n- 3 -\nquotes. As to the Keynoter, Tom Benham suggests someone\nlike Don Rumsfeld, who is young, non-ideological, and an\nexcellent speaker. He believes that if Edward Brooke\nwould deliver the type of Roosevelt speech that he suggests,\nit would be very effective. He does not think that the fact\nthat Brooke is a black would be a problem because the white\nintolerants will say that he is a good token black and the\nwhite moderates will say that Brooke is a perfect example\nof the progressive Republican Party.\nGS/jb\nGallup\namnesty - dependenp.,Ance\nDepense Spe - 4-305 50% ag /P\nasked - could lose\nMinimum Income\nw- P controls- - Hamis\nnot L BJ- - Colduater beel ter\nmany 55-45 Dems + too few Reps\nLabor likes the P+ their edrs\nhave separated Oemselve\nfor 1 the followers,\nneed some Demo (cong T Sens)\nto denounce lielet\neven if justa fee\nRn - comp on peace -\nPelling + moseou,\nPeace fer our CS\n- Infla - droppeny d\nw/other cerentlies\nUS Infla Rate Lowese\nin world\nmistake-lo run agl Ford, beef\npeople will segmathize\nwhen ye to Ford dealert cont\ndry one\nCal- do poll on impact\n- whe widely Uneren +\nof pot vote\neffect on allihood olvoting\nDoubts we can any ny- believe\nit when I see it if as\ndoes candslide could be bigges\nno Wallace activity in n.

He also wants your comments\non the Keynoter for the Convention (Timmons' memorandum at Tab A).\nThese decisions are so basic to the political appearance of the Con-\nvention that you should discuss them personally with Mitchell and the\nPresident rather than give an advisory opinion to Timmons.\nIt is Chapin's view that Timmons is moving toward commitments of\nthe First Family and the T.V. appearance of the Convention that may\nnot be the best use of the resources. You have read Timmons' memo-\nranda on the \" '72 Convention Events for the First Family\" and the\nprogram schedule.

He would not give me\ntwo-way results, but did say these figures would probably\nbe released Sunday, July 2, 1972.\n- 2 -\nAlso of considerable interest is the Gallup National\nReferendum. Gallup will try to interview voters in four\n\"barometer\" counties - New London County, Connecticut;\nShelby County, Tennessee, Montgomery County, Illinois,\nand San Luis Obispo County, California. These counties\naccurately reflected the sentiment of the country in 1968,\n'64, '60, and '56. The interviewing will be done between\nJune 28 and July 2. The first series of results will be\npublished July 9. John Davies will not be available before\nthen but I will try to get the results from George Gallup, Jr.\nThe questions on the referendum will be:\nProposition #1: \"The U.S. should withdraw all troops from\nVietnam by the end of this year.\"\n\"The U.S. should not withdraw all troops\nfrom Vietnam by the end of this year.\"\nProposition #2: \"I favor busing school children to achieve\na better racial balance in the schools.\"\n\"I oppose busing school children to achieve\na better racial balance in the schools.\"\nProposition #3: \"I think the national budget for military\nand defense spending should be decreased.\"\n\"I think the national budget for military\nand defense spending should not be decreased.'\nProposition #4: \"I favor the legalization of abortion.\"\n\"I oppose the legalization of abortion.\"\nProposition #5: \"Young men who have left the U.S. to\navoid the draft should be allowed to return to this country\nwithout some form of punishment.\"\n\"Young men who have left the U.S. to\navoid the draft should not be allowed to return to this country\nwithout some form of punishment.\"\nProposition #6: \"Wage/price controls should be made more\nstrict than they are at present.\"\n\"Wage/price controls should not be made\nmore strict than they are at present.\"\n- 3 -\nProposition #7: \"I favor a plan which would guarantee\nevery family a minimum income of at least $2,400 a year.\"\n\"I oppose a plan which would guarantee\nevery family a minimum income of at least $2,400 a year.\"\nProposition #8; \"I think the police and other law\nenforcement agencies in the U.S. should be tougher than\nthey are now in dealing with crime and lawlessness.\"\n\"I think the police and other law\nenforcement agencies in the U.S. should not be tougher than\nthey are now in dealing with crime and lawlessness.\"\nProposition #9: \"Which one of the following persons\nwould you like to see nominated as the Democratic candidate??\n(Full selection)\nProposition #10: \"Which one of the following persons\nwould you like to see nominated as the Democratic candidate?\"\nHubert Humphrey\nGeorge McGovern\nProposition #11: Trial heats among Nixon, Mogovern and\nWallace.\nTrial heats between Nixon and McGovern.\nProposition #12, Trial heats among Nixon, Humphrey and\nWallace.\nTrial heats between Nixon and Humphrey.\nGS/jb\nUnfortunately, there will be no follow-up questions. I\nsuggested questions asking about the consequences of U.S.\ntroop withdrawal or defense cuts, but Gallup will only use\nthe questions as given above.\nADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL\nJune 23, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nH. R. HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nGORDON STRACHAN\nSUBJECT:\nPolling Matters\nChuck Colson sent you the attached memorandum summarizing\nhis discussion with the President. The President suggested\nto Colson that ORC conduct a poll on some of McGovern's\npositions including troops home before POW's, amnesty,\nmarijuana, abortion, and welfare proposals. The President's\nposition would be contrasted and ORC would issue a press\nrelease. Colson recommends waiting until after the Demo-\ncratic Convention.\nThe questions suggested are being asked in the Wave II\nCampaign Surveys, which is in the field now. ORC is doing\nthe national oversample. These national results will be\navailable July 16 and could be released then. Of course,\na quick ORC telephone poll could be done for a release in\nAugust or September emphasizing McGovern's radical stands.\nAnother possibility is the use of Decision Making Information\n\"Listening Post\" survey. The political questions on this\ncommercial monthly telephone poll in Los Angeles and Orange\nCounty were sent to Tom Reed, the Republican National Committee-\nman in California. Bob Teeter now has direct control of those\nquestions. There will be four opportunities between now and\nNovember to have questions added. The deadline for the July\nsurvey is Monday, June 26. Teeter has asked them to continue\ntheir trend questions on trial heats (McGovern and Humphrey,\nwith and without Wallace), the President's approval and why,\nthe President's handling of Vietnam, and the economy. The\nresults will be available to Teeter during the third week\nof August and will not be released to the public without\nTeeter's clearance. Teeter can add two or three additional\nquestions and I suggested the legalization of marijuana and\namnesty. They will be phrased as the Wave II questions are,\nwill give us a reading during July, and will be available for\npossible release to the press in late August or early September.\nGS/jb\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nWASHINGTON\nEYES ONLY\nJune 22, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nH. R. HALDEMAN\nFROM:\nCHARLES COLSON\nSUBJECT:\nORC Poll\nThe President mentioned to me the other day that he would like\nto see an ORC poll sometime in which a series of issue-oriented\nquestions are asked. The issues would be those on which there\nis a clear difference between the President and McGovern. For\nexample, bringing all the troops home before the POWs are\nreleased, unrestricted amnesty, legalizing marijuana, abortion,\n$1000 welfare benefits, etc. etc. The President's feeling is that\nthe vast majority would support the Nixon position as against\nthe McGovern position and this would make a very worthwhile\npress release by ORC.\nHe simply asked that I take it up with you. For what it's worth, I\npersonally believe that this might be very effective, but not until\nafter the Democratic Convention and perhaps not until September.\nThe other side of the argument is that McGovern will have shifted\nall his positions by then and the poll data would be considered\nirrelevant. It would be one clear way of showing that the people\nsupport the President's stand as against McGovern's.\namn - 26\nvn - 24\nPot - 30\n12,000 - 29\nwor - 31\nhistening Post\"\nDM 1- -1000 telep intererew\nOmpeties poll (nen\n- Pol asked poe 1st\n-# ?s\n- Lock on mon before\nbask u\neno or mo 6/26\n- pot\n- Represen of cal\nannesty\n- LA +Orange enty\n- - possible release\n- we now prime client\non pee,\ncould\nHeal\n- Triel Heats - H, me Guft\nu/o wallace\n- P's ap + why.\n- appr on yn + Eeen\n- Results 3rd rd we off\njuy Results ag 20 nse\nADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL\nJune 23, 1972\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nH.

He is not formally associated now with the\nWallace staff but sees the Governor and his people regularly.\nTurnipseed practices law in South Carolina. Dent has helped\nthat practice. In return, Turnipseed has told Dent that at\nthe McGovern-Wallace meeting at the hospital, Wallace told\nMcGovern to keep his hands off his (Wallace's) delegates.\nMcGovern responded by saying that he had instructed his dele-\ngates in states where Wallace received a majority of the votes\n(Michigan) to vote for Wallace on the first ballot. Wallace\nwas wary but pleased. Dent has not contacted Turnipseed in\nthe last few days because Turnipseed wants more law business\nand money.\nWallace Henley, on Dent's staff, talks with his former colleagues\nin Alabama. One is a reporter who has covered Wallace for\n20 years. These sources indicate that Wallace is in much worse\nphysical condition than press reports indicate. Wallace plans\non going to the Democratic convention in a wheel chair even if\nit kills him. It may well do just that.\nAll of Bent and Henley's contacts are convinced that Wallace\nwill not pursue a third party route this fall.\nI have not asked Magruder to check Mitchell on any other lines\nto Wallace.
