MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. CHUCK COLSON
FROM:
H.R. HALDEMAN
SUBJECT:
Celebrity Program
I received Cashen's memo on the celebrity program. It was
very well done. Listed below are some comments that I
would like you to consider before proceeding:
1.
In making contact with every celebrity that we believe
to be a current supporter, we must be careful not
to be too obvious about what we are doing. For example,
as I believe Dwight told you, Cashen called John Wayne
and asked for his help in lining up celebrities for 1972.
Apparently Wayne was very perturbed by Cashen's call,
2.
Keyes has pointed out that now may not be the time to
go after celebrities with the Gallup approval of 52% and
the bad aftermath of the elections, and feels that many
of the celebrities are going to want to wait and see who
opposes the President. While this may be true in some
cases, I agree that we should proceed in lining up the
ones that we can now and work with them.
3. For those that are leaning our way but are still not
in the commitment category, we should attempt to
solidify our support by having them here on a regular
basis - talking to them, having our committed people
talk to them, getting their feelings about the President,
keeping in touch with them, and answering any questions
they may have.

4.
While Cashen can certainly do an adequate job of overseeing
the program, we need someone here with more stature
and availability who acts as our contact. In addition, we
probably need to develop some very close ties with some
key people in the entertainment field to act as contacts
on the outside and make direct approaches. I would
imagine that Keyes can be of some assistance here.
5.
Paul would like to add some thoughts he has to a plan
for developing celebrities. He indicated to Chapin that
he would be sending something back in writing and also
that he would like to get a copy of the Cashen plan.
I would suggest that you call Keyes and discuss Cashen's plan.
Lot me know what Paul says, including his reaction on Garment.
If he is in agreement on Garment, our next step would be to
get in touch with Len and have Len and Henry move forward
as appropriate.
