7/9/9
WASHINGTON
July 1, 1971
MEMORANDUM FOR:
BRUCE KEHRLI
FROM:
GORDON STRACHAN
SUBJECT:
Attached Memo
from Cashen on
Celebrities
Based on discussion with Magruder, Rietz, and Sloan it is
my view that any Citizens organization, such as the one
suggested for celebrities, should have a front individual
and a young organizer for affective use of the tallent.
As to a front individual for the celebrities, Cashen's
suggestion of Bob Hope is obviously one to be considered
carefully.
As to an organizational operative, I would suggest someone
from the organizational 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?

MEMORANDUM FOR:
BRUCE KEHRLI
FROM:
HENRY C. CASHEN II 1112
SUBJECT:
Celebrities
A.s 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
-2-
have met with Cy Laughter who did this in the 1968 campaign, but I
do not 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.
CC: Dwight Chapin
