Several individuals come to\nmind, including some that I worked with in New York. However,\nbefore we get to that stage, we should obtain suggestions\nfrom the people mentioned in Cashen's memo. In light of\nmy aversion to meetings, I think this could best be done\nby a memorandum from Magruder to Colson, Chapin, Rumsfeld,\nand Moore.\nAnything else?\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nCONFIDENTIAL\nWASHINGTON\nDETERMINED TO BE AN\nADMINISTRATIVE MARKING\nJune 17, 1971\nE.O. 12085, Section 6-102\nBy OMP Late 9-10-81\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nBRUCE KEHRLI\nFROM:\nHENRY C. CASHEN II 1112\nSUBJECT:\nCelebrities\nA.s I have indicated to you, both Chuck and I have been attempting from\nthis office to track on the various activities which are happening with\nrespect to cultivating and working with celebrities.\nIn this regard, I have made it a point to keep in regular contact with Dick\nMoore, Connie Stuart, and Peter Malatesta in the Vice President's office,\nwith regard to anything that involves celebrities and their relationship to\nthe President. Malatesta (Bob Hope's nephew) has excellent connections\nwith many of the more prominent Hollywood celebrities and his advice has\nproved very helpful.\nAs far as independent contact from a citizens basis with celebrities, the\nmost productive individual in this regard has been Paul Keyes. As I am\nsure you know, Dwight Chapin has an excellent relationship with Keyes and\ncan talk to him or get his advice on almost any subject which we are\nconsidering in this regard. However, Keyes is so deeply involved in his\nown personal business that I doubt whether he would consider assuming the\nrole of citizens chairman for celebrities. I think he best serves the President\nin working with Dwight and making personal contacts with those prominent\ncelebrities with whom we need to work.\nAs I also mentioned to you, Jeb Magruder has talked to Don Rumsfeld\nabout further organizing and working with celebrities and has asked that I\nconsult with Don when he is in a position to call such a meeting. Consequently,\nI am awaiting word from either Rumsfeld or Magruder as to what thoughts\nthey have in this regard.\nI think it would be a good idea if the above mentioned individuals, including\nColson, Chapin, Rumsfeld, Moore, and Magruder, got together to consider\npossible individuals to head the citizens group for celebrities. I know and\n-2-\nhave met with Cy Laughter who did this in the 1968 campaign, but I\ndo not think he should be lead man. Cy can be helpful, but a more\nprominent individual with better and easier contacts would be more\nideal for the job.\nPlease let me know if you need anything further at this time and I will\nkeep you posted on further developments.\nCC: Dwight Chapin\n:"
