Re: North Dakota, New Mexico, Utah
Senate races; youth effort therein
I strongly believe in the enclosed
project outlined by Morton Blackwell (Executive
Director of the College Young Republicans) to
mobilize local, home-state student manpower in
these three races where a few thousand votes
could make the difference.
Morton tells me that the President
had a long conversation a month or so ago with
Rob Pollack, President of the College YRs, in
which he sai. that he wants the college YRs to
get into the Senate races. These would be the
most productive.
According to Morton, topflight
references for this type of effort can be had from
Louie and Lee Nunn, Bob Hitt (RNC) and Charlton
Lyons, among others.
The YRs are already starting their
operation in New Mexico and they have worked out
tenative arrangements with Burton's people in
Utah, but they need guarantees that the money
to pay organizers will be available - and they need
to know as soon as possible so that the organizers
can be sent in.
The total cost would be about $20,000,
and in my opinion worth more than a quarter of a
million dollars worth of Harry Treleaven commercials.
At present, they just don't have the money - and
that is why White House intervention is necessary.
If this can be approved, it would be useful
to have one of Haldeman's people tell Blackwell as soon
as possible.
As I said, I think that Blackwell is a
very capable individual and knows what he is doing.

Re: Young Republican Campaign Effort
With the enthusiastic cooperation of the New Mexico and Utah
candidate's organizations, Morton Blackwell of the national YR's is
already out in the two states laying the groundwork for a substantial
youth effort on behalf of Burton and Carter.
The operation can be extended quickly to North Dakota as per
the previously submitted blueprint, but they will need guarantees
of financing before the necessary commitments can be undertaken.
A STUDENT CAMPAIGN PLAN FOR NORTH DAKOTA,
NEW MEXICO AND UTAH
The attached proposal can develop mass based student political
efforts in the 1970 U.S. Senate campaigns of:
Congressman Thomas Kleppe in North Dakota,
Anderson Carter in New Mexico, and
Congressman Lawrence Burton in Utah.
The techniques and personnel are available. The student program in
North Dakota would run $6,770. In New Mexico it would cost $7,100.
In Utah it would be $7,400. The three (3) campaigns would cost a
total of $21,270. The goals set in this proposal can be met within
these budgets.
These campaigns cannot finance this program in addition to their other
operations. There is reason to believe, however, that each of these
campaigns would jump at the chance to employ the proved plan of
"new student politics," if it were made available to them.
It is, in short, a means for interested parties to provide major
assistance in close U.S. Senate races for a minimum of outlay.

CURRENT STATUS OF REPUBLICAN STUDENT EFFORT
The success of the "new student politics" technology is largely
independent of the current Republican student organizational status.
Students are so easy to organize that proper technology can build
a mass based effort in a very short period.
Of the three states, North Dakota is currently the best organized at
both the college and high school levels. A number of North Dakotans
have attended the CRNC Schools for Student Coordinators. There are,
for instance, about 4,100 members of College Republican and Teen-Age
Republican clubs.
Utah is less well organized, with about 1,000 members.
New Mexico has fewer than 1,000 current members.
The job required in each state is roughly the same. The remainder of
this proposal will, as an example, outline the North Dakota plan.

PROGRAMS
Student Canvass
Every student in a college or university will be polled. Each student will
be asked the following questions:
1. Do you generally consider youself a Republican or a
Democrat?
2. In the race for U.S. Senate, do you favor Tom Kleppe or
Quentin Burdick?
3. Are you a registered voter?
4. Can I get you an absentee ballot?
5. Would you like to do volunteer work for Congressman Kleppe?
Four copies of the poll will be made on tally sheets. The state student
coordinator, the campus campaign chairman, the dorm chairman and the floor
leaders will each get a copy.
High school students will be canvassed by phone with the following questions:
1. Do you generally consider yourself a Republican or a
Democrat?
2. In the race for U.S. Senate, do you favor Tom Kleppe or
Quentin Burdick?
3. Would you like to do volunteer work for Congressman Kleppe?
The canvass is the center of all our later projects. Approximately 2,000
college students and 4,000 high school students can be enrolled in clubs, while
4,000 additional college students and 8,000 additional high school students
who are pro-Kleppe can be identified.
-14-
Mock Elections
Mock elections are a major part of the public relations program. They
will be held on almost all college campuses and at many high schools in
North Dakota and will be sponsored by non-partisan organizations such as
Student Government. The first will be held about five weeks before the
November election and the last no later than one week before. Our proved
technique almost assures victories in every legitimate mock election.
The benefit of this project is the publicity it will generate. It will
demonstrate wide youth support all over North Dakota. For this reason, it
is important that we concentrate student effort on this project.
Operation Kinfolk
Postcards will be printed expressing support for Congressman Kleppe for SEnate
and providing a place for a student's segnature. These cards will be distributed
to those students who expressed support for Kleppe in the student canvass. Each
supporter will be asked to address the cards to as many as possible of his
relatives and close family friends who are North Dakota voters. When filled out,
approximately 18,000 of these cards will be collected and given to the campus campaign
chairmen or to the state student coordinator to be mailed. A prize will be offered to
the high school and college organizations which do best in "Operation Kinfolk.'
Letters to the Editor
Letters to the editor will be written and typed at the state student headquarters.
About 300 different, short letters will be needed. Each will be typed complete,
except for the signature. Letters will be sent to each student campaign organi-
zation, and they will find people to sign and mail the letters to the predetermined
-15-
newspapers. Approximately 80-100 student letters will be printed.
Other Special Projects
Students will be used in literature blitzing, canvassing, sign posting,
bumper branding and numerous other activities.

Re: Population of States with Republican Governors
Twenty-one States currently have Republican Governors. Their
total population is : 105, 754, 528. Total U.S. Population is
200, 263, 721 (All figures are 1970 Census preliminary).
Recounts are definitely being requested in two States with total
population of 2, 595, 638; and probably in a third with population
pf 922, 461.
Details attached.
Percentage of total population equals 52.8%. Now.
Recounts could mean the addition of . 5% for Maine, Q 5% for Rhode
Island, and 1. 2% for Oklahoma.

ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT DEMONSTRATOR
BUDGET-BUSTING CONGRESS PILES IT ON. The
most recent (July 28) report of the Joint
MMM
Committee on Reduction of Federal Expendi-
tures dramatically illustrates just what
President Nixon means when he accuses the
Democrat-controlled Congress of being big
BUDGET
spenders: (1) House actions to the end of
July on all spending bills -- appropria-
tions and legislative -- have increased
the President's requests for fiscal 1971
budget authority by $7,735,754,000. (2)
Senate actions have upped the Nixon budget
authority for fiscal 1971 by $4,193,265,000.
In doing this, the House has raised the pro-
jected deficit by a net of about $3.1 bil-
lion, the Senate by about $2.1 billion. The
report also noted that still awaiting action
by the Congress are about $4.4 billion of
the President's requests for legislative
proposals that are counted in the budget as
offsets to spending and new revenue pro-
posals -- both of which were counted in

arriving at the deficit projected by the
President. Those measures being delayed include such proposals as a new tax on leaded
gasoline, accelerated collection of estate and gift taxes, certain user charges, and some
spending offset legislation.
VICE PRESIDENT BLASTS DEMOCRAT "REWRITING OF HISTORY." Labeling the performance of Lawrence
O'Brien and former JFK aide Kenneth O'Donnell as "new lows for political shabbiness, Vice
President Agnew has sharply criticised O'Donnell's recent assertions that President Kennedy
planned to completely withdraw all U.S. troops from Vietnam in 1965 after his expected re-
election: "Consider the bad taste to write of a dead President that he would risk American
lives for two years beyond deciding to withdraw from Vietnam for the political expediency
of re-election The revelations themselves are trifling things. In substance they are
either feeble, inaccurate, ignorant, or preposterous I
cannot believe these so-called
revelations, even though I find it easy to comprehend the desire of the liberal wing of the
Democratic Party to fly the white flag of peace-at-any-price advocacy instead of the dirty
grey banner of vacillation." In a related incident last week, Senator Robert Dole of Kansas
inserted into the Congressional Record portions of a September, 1963, interview with Presi-
dent Kennedy in which he said the exact opposite of the way O'Donnell says he felt. Talking
with Chet Huntley and David Brinkley, President Kennedy said of our involvement in Vietnam
that he believed the so-called "domino theory" and that his concern was "that Americans will
get impatient and say, because they don't like events in Southeast Asia or they don't like
the government in Saigon, that we should withdraw. That only makes it easy for the Commun-
ists. I think we should stay. We should use our influence in as effective a way as we can,
but we should not withdraw
PRESIDENT PASSES THE WORD: CUT THE RED TAPE. In a one page memorandum, President Nixon has
ordered the heads of Federal departments and agencies to reduce the time and money spent on
needless paperwork. The President set two goals for the current fiscal year ending next June
30: (1) A reduction of five million man hours spent by public and state and local officials
in filling out administrative forms. (2) A reduction of $200 million in funds spent by the
Executive branch for processing these forms.

Missouri. Former State Chairman Elmer Smith saw a couple of encouraging things about
the primary: (1) There was a lighter Democrat turnout than in previous years. (2) There
seems to be continuing voter dissatisfaction with incumbent Democrat Governor Warren
Hearns who is the backbone of the party. This time a toll road proposal of his was de-
feated and only last April an income tax proposal of his was voted down. Another in-
teresting fact: organized labor seems to have sat out the primary as far as voting
Democrat was concerned. Spending for the candidates was down and there was a lack of
union workers at the polls. The report is that local labor people are angry over the
leftward bent of the national Democrat party and are taking it out on local candidates.
Age also could be an unspoken issue this fall in state-wide elections. GOP Senatorial
candidate John Danforth is 33, Democrat Senator Symington is going on 70; GOP candidate
for state auditor, Christopher Bond is 31, incumbent Democrat 68.
Kansas. State Chairman Don 0. Concannon labeled the primary election "an outstanding
tribute" to the campaigning of gubernatorial candidate Kent Frizzell and candidate for
attorney general Richard Seaton. Concannon said Frizzell is articulate, effective and
a large asset to the Party.
Idaho. State Chairman Roland C. Wilber expressed satisfaction that the more liberal of
the Democrat candidates for governor, Cecil Andrus, won. "This makes it more likely
that incumbent GOP governor Don Samuelson will be re-elected," said Wilber.
PRESIDENT AGAIN URGES CONGRESS TO GET CRACKING ON CRIME BILLS. Along with Attorney General
Mitchell, the President met with a group of Law Enforcement Assistance Administration people
last week in Denver, and said that, if necessary, Congress should hold extra sessions to
pass the remaining 12 major Administration crime bills. "We do need a sense of urgency on
the
part
of
Congress to deal with this problem: organized crime, narcotics, the whole
area of pornography and the rest,' he said. "They can be acted upon. They should be acted
upon." The President's sense of urgency is understandable with the FBI's so-called
"Crime-clock" showing that a murder is committed every 39 minutes, a forcible rape every
17 minutes, an aggravated assault every two minutes, a robbery every two minutes and a
violent crime every 54 seconds.
POLITICAL POTPOURRI
Vice President Agnew says that he will be "increasingly active" in this year's election on
behalf of Republican candidates. His message: the need for a more responsible Congress
that will help, not frustrate, President Nixon's efforts to carry out his programs
In
the
Congressional effort to impeach Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, the plot is thick-
ening. Several House Republicans are becoming restive over Judiciary Chairman Emanuel
Celler's foot-dragging on the investigation. N.H. Rep. Louis C. Wyman notes that in four
months of investigation not one witness has been questioned under oath. He calls the
thing "a contrived whitewash.' Another Agnew book, (see photo) "The Real Spiro Agnew:

EARLY CENSUS DATA LOOKS GOOD FOR REPUBLICANS. CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY reports that pre-
liminary census statistics (see chart above) from 42 states show the 1960's to have been a
decade of migration from the central city and rural areas to the suburbs. All of which
looks good for Republicans because of the 27 fast-growing suburban counties (those in the
area of Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Philadelphia,
Portland and St. Louis), 19 went for Nixon in 1968. In addition, public opinion polls in
recent years have shown more people in the suburbs, towns and rural areas label themselves
Republicans than in the cities. "While this is an incomplete picture,' says CQ, "it sug-
gests the strong position of the Republican Party in the growing suburban areas around
core cities in all parts of the country."
STATE PARTY PEOPLE OPTIMISTIC ON FALL ELECTIONS. MONDAY last week spoke with several state
party people following the primary elections and found the outlook optimistic:
Tennessee. State Chairman Ed Bailey sees the biggest Republican primary vote ever in
the Volunteer State as putting the GOP in "beautiful shape.' "We're definitely going
to elect Winfield Dunn governor and Bill Brock senator, he said. Bill Brock got more
primary votes than any other GOP candidate in history. As for Senator Gore, who won
his primary with only 51 percent of the vote, he seems to sense that the end is near.
In a recent report in the WASHINGTON POST he was quoted as saying, "If I win (the pri-
mary) by a narrow margin, I will be a dead duck in November
"
Michigan. State Chairman William F. McLaughlin praised the leadership of Governor
William G. Milliken for "continuing to pave the way for responsible Republican success
in Michigan." The Governor, said McLaughlin, "took stands on tough issues, took the
criticism and then took Michigan with 80 percent of the vote." As for the Senate pri-
mary, McLaughlin predicted that the GOP in the Wolverine State would unite behind
Lenore Romney and do its share in making Senator Robert P. Griffin not only the senior
Senator from Michigan but also the assistant majority leader in the upper house next
year. "The 1970's hold great promise for the Republican Party,' said McLaughlin.

DID FULBRIGHT LEAK VIOLATE THE LAW? Stories last week in the press that the Democrat chair-
man of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, J. William Fulbright, disclosed confidential
information about a proposed new base agreement with Spain have raised the question of
whether or not such leaks are in violation of the law. The answer appears to be that such
activity may well be illegal. Title 50, Section 783, Subsection B of the U.S. Code makes it
unlawful for any officer of the U.S. or of any agency or department to communicate in any
manner or by any means to any other person any information affecting the security of the
U.S. knowing that such information has been so classified. The penalty for violating this
law is a fine not to exceed $10,000 and imprisonment of not more than 10 years. Anyone con-
victed of such an offense is ineligible for public office under the U.S. Constitution and
the laws of the United States. Sen. Fulbright's recent efforts to undercut our base agree-
ments with Spain was not his first try. It was the Arkansas Democrat last year who leaked
a top secret memo on the subject to the NEW YORK TIMES causing the negotiations to fall
through. This year he tried again but without success as the agreements were signed last
week. The bases involved include one Polaris sub base and two air bases. They are vital
to our national security in the area of the Mediterranean and especially important with the
growing Soviet role in that area.
BIG $PENDER
(FIRST OF A SERIES.) In making up any list of Congressional big
spenders Tennessee's Senator Albert Gore belongs at the top.
OF THE WEEK
It is estimated that if all the legislation Gore has proposed
since coming to the Senate in 1952 had been passed, the expendi-
tures would total nearly $225 billion. That's right -- billion.
More than the entire Federal Budget. About $1,000 for every man,
woman and child in this country.
It was in 1965 that Gore began to excell in spendmanship voting
for four new Great Society programs totalling more than $10
billion a year. Not only did he vote for these proposals, but
when they came up for a vote, he voted for amendments upping
the already astronomical price of the programs. In 1969 he
voted for an over $1 billion increase for urban renewal and the
war on poverty. In 1968 he voted for about a quarter of a
billion dollar increase in the war on poverty, and in 1967 he wanted to add $40 million
to the rent supplement program and $15 million for the teacher corps program.
Gore's big spending has continued into the present Congress with his votes for passage of
the controversial Labor-HEW appropriation which was $1.3 billion over the Nixon budget
request and was vetoed by the President in the name of fiscal responsibility. This increase
over the President's budget request was the largest ever in the history of HEW.
Gore has also opposed many efforts designed to place a limitation on government spending.
In 1969 he voted against reducing the number of exemptions to the budget ceiling recom-
mended by the Senate Appropriations Commiteee. In 1968 he voted against the establishment
of a Commission on Federal Budget Priorities and Policies. In 1967 he voted against re-
quiring the Executive branch to reduce expenditures by at least five percent and against
a resolution calling for cuts in spending by the Executive branch.
In March of 1948, a young Congressman from Tennessee took to the floor of the House of Rep-
resentatives and argued against a tax reduction saying: "A foremost concern for eachofus,
whether Republican or Democrat, is the financial integrity of the Government of the United
States. For without that, neither our position in world affairs nor our way of life here
at home would long endure. " That man was Albert Gore but he has since strayed far from this
position today. It is time to replace him with Bill Brock.

BIG $PENDER
(NINTH IN A SERIES). In 1859 near Virginia City, Nevada, the
famous Comstock gold and silver lode was discovered and over
OF THE WEEK
the next 20 years yielded more than $300 million in mineral
worth.
In the 12 years he has been in the U.S. Senate, representing
Nevada, Democrat Howard Cannon has proposed legislation which,
if it had all passed, would have cost the American taxpayer
several hundred times the value of the Comstock Lode.
An adding up of the bills Cannon sponsored or co-sponsored
for just the present 91st Congress shows that had they all
been enacted, the total lifetime cost of the legislation
would be better than $3 billion.
Sen. Cannon
And as if this were not irresponsible enough, at least 21 pieces of Cannon-backed leg-
islation contained blank check or open-ended authorizations for the first and succeed-
ing fiscal years. This type of bookkeeping, a procedure all too common in the Democrat-
controlled Congress, means that there would be no way to determine a Federal budget
accurately because expected expenditures are unknown and thus this column in the ledger
would be a series of question marks.
As further proof of Cannon's Big Spending record and his fiscal irresponsibility, the
just published National Associated Businessmen's Economy Voting Record rates him at
less than 30 percent. (100 percent is the top rating). The rating, based on 12 Senate
votes, found Cannon guilty of Big Spending for voting:
--Against an amendment to cut $292.1 million out of the anti-poverty program.
--Against an amendment to limit expenditures for the Labor-HEW appropriation and cut
$347.2 million from the appropriations bill.
--For the Hill-Burton hospital construction veto override. This legislation was
vetoed by the President as overly expensive, inflexible and a serious hindrance to
his management of the Federal Budget because of its compulsory spending provisions.
--For the 1971 Office of Education appropriations bill which was $806,047,000 over the
President's budget request and also vetoed because it was too inflationary.
We don't know if the Democrat Senator from Nevada ever visits Las Vegas but when it
comes to irresponsible legislative proposals and the people's money, he's one of the
biggest gamblers on Capitol Hill. And it is for this reason that Nevadans will send
Republican William Raggio to the Congress next year as the new Senator from the
Silver State.
REPORT SHOWS DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED CONGRESS STILL BUSTING NIXON BUDGET. The latest budget
scorekeeping report put out by the Joint Committee on Reduction of Federal Expenditures
(cumulative through Sept. 23) shows that the Democrat-controlled Congress is continuing
to bust the Nixon budget. The report shows that: (1) House actions on all spending
bills -- appropriations and legislative -- have increased the President's requests for
fiscal '71 budget authority by $5,567,375,000; (2) Senate actions have increased the
President's budget authority by $4,436,524,000; (3) Enactments of spending bills --
appropriations and legislative -- have added $2,973,074,000 to the President's budget.
In addition, the President has requested $4,300,000,000 worth of revenue-raising legisla-
tion which has not yet been acted on by the Congress.

PRESIDENT PROPOSES "MAJOR TRANSFORMATION" IN FOREIGN AID PROGRAMS. In a message to the
Congress, President Nixon has proposed a six point "major transformation" of U.S. foreign
assistance programs. "We want to help other countries raise their standard of living,' said
the President. "We want to use our aid where it can make a difference. To achieve these
goals, we will respond positively to sound proposals which effectively support the programs
of the lower income countries to develop their material institutions to enable their citi-
zens to share more fully in the benefits of worldwide technological and economic advance."
PRESIDENT TO MAKE EIGHT DAY EUROPEAN TRIP. The White House has announced that President
Nixon will make a visit to some Mediterranean countries and Great Britain at the end of
this month to undertake a full exchange of views with his respective hosts to "strengthen
the structure for peace and give impetus to the President's efforts to bring about an era
of negotiations. The President will visit Italy, where he will call on Pope Paul; NATO
Headquarters; Spain and England. At some point, the President plans to meet with Ambas-
sadors Bruce and Habib in order to review the negotiations going on in Paris. The Pres-

PRESIDENT HITS "VIOLENCE AND TERROR" KANSAS STATE STUDENTS CHEER. Calling upon the
"responsible" members of the college and university community to "stand up and be counted,"
President Nixon last week spoke at Kansas State University and told his audience that
"violence and terror have no place in a free society." Interrupted numerous times by
thunderous applause, the President told the students and faculty: "America at its best has
stood steadfastly for the rule of law among nations. But we cannot stand successfully for
the rule of law abroad unless we respect the rule of law at home
The time has come for
us to recognize that violence and terror have no place in a free society, whatever the pur-
ported cause or perpetrators may be It is time for the responsible university and college
administrators, faculty and student leaders to stand up and be counted. We must remember
only they can save higher education in America. It cannot be saved by government."
In a related incident, Senate GOP Leader Hugh Scott took to the floor of the Senate and
criticized the report of an NBC television commentator who implied that the President's
enthusiastic welcome at Kansas State was because it is a "friendly university." "I am
simply fed up with this type of broadcasting," said Scott. "It is time the networks pulled
up their socks and realized how many people in this country they are making angry by these
assertions of a calculated bias."
VICE PRESIDENT LAMBASTES "RADICAL LIBERALS"; CAMPAIGNS IN 4 STATES. Much to the discomfiture
of the Democrats, Vice President Agnew is continuing to burn up the campaign trail socking it
to the "radical liberals." In California, Agnew spoke out for Ronald Reagan, George Murphy
and Rep. Bob Wilson but blasted those he called the "nattering nabobs of negativism" who have
formed their own 4-H Club -- the "hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history. In Nev-
ada, the Vice President spoke in behalf of gubernatorial candidate Ed Fike and Senatorial
candidate, Bill Raggio and declared that the rapidly growing "drug culture" pervades our
adult population and is spreading "like cancer" through our youth. He called for a hard and
fast move to bring things under control.
In New Mexico, the Vice President plugged gubernatorial candidate Peter Domenici, Senatorial
candidate Andy Carter and incumbent GOP Reps. Ed Foreman and Manuel Lujan. Agnew also gave
a fuller definition of "radical liberals" noting that they are "neo-isolationists in foreign
policy at a time when neo-isolationism openly invites Communist agression
obstructionists
in Congress, at a time when America's need is for progressives who will cooperate with our
President in initiating a needed era of restoration, renewal and reform social permissiv-
ists, at a time when America just can't stand more permissiveness if this country is to con-
trol the radicalism tearing at its roots."
In Michigan for gubernatorial candidate Bill Milliken, Senatorial candidate Lenore Romney and
House GOP Leader Gerald Ford, Agnew again hit the "radiclibs." In Grand Rapids, the Vice Pres-
ident rapped the Michigan Democrat Party for passing an amnesty-for-draft-dodgers resolution
saying: "Rest assured, my friends, that there will be no amnesty for draft dodgers
The few
hundred slackers who chose another path are just going to have to live with the consequences."
In response to a group of hecklers shouting obscenities, the Vice President put them down with:
"I've listened to your four-letter arguments, and I am not persuaded You're pathetic.' Agnew

as regards budget authority for 1971: House actions on all spending bills -- appropriations
and legislative have increased the President's requests for fiscal '71 by $7,504,735,000;
Senate actions have increased the President's budget authority by $3,260,324,000. In addi-
tion, the Congress has failed to enact $2.3 billion worth of Administration budget-decreasing
proposals which has the direct effect of increasing the fiscal 1971 deficit by this amount.

VICE PRESIDENT STUMPS FOR CANDIDATES IN THREE STATES. Vice President Agnew hit the cam-
paign trail again last week and appeared in three states on behalf of Republican candidates.
In Sioux Falls, S.D., speaking for Congressional candidates Fred Brady and Dexter Gunderson
and Governor Frank Farrar, the Vice President blasted Sen. George McGovern as one of the
"foremost leaders of radical liberalism" in the Nation. He also commented on the Scranton
Commission on Student Unrest praising it for taking a forthright stand against violence and
for its historical analysis of the problem. "But," said the VP, "in the indiscriminate
fashion in which it diffuses and dilutes responsibility, in the total unfairness of the
most widely publicized recommendation, in the thinly veiled rationalizations for student
disruption, the report comes out, in its overall impression, imprecise and equivocal. It
is sure to be taken as more pablum for permissivists." The Vice President also labeled
as "unfair, outrageous and unacceptable" the Commission finding that the primary need for
restoration of order on America's college campuses is for the President to exercise greater
moral leadership.
In a related development on Capitol Hill, a letter to President Nixon drafted by Reps.
Barry Goldwater, Jr. and William Scherle and signed by 62 members of both parties reaf-
firmed support for his positive efforts to lessen campus unrest. The Scranton Commission,
they said, "blatantly disregarded" these efforts. Noting that the first line of responsi-
bility for maintaining order lies with those in the university community, Rep. Goldwater
said that by putting primary emphasis on President Nixon the Commission had "put the
monkey on the wrong back."
In Minot, N.D., the Vice President spoke out for GOP Senatorial candidate Tom Kleppe and
urged that incumbent Democrat Sen. Quentin Burdick be retired because of his voting "wrong
on defense, wrong on crime and wrong on spending." The VP also hailed incumbent GOP Sen.
Milton Young.
In Salt Lake City, Utah, the Vice President plugged Senatorial hopeful Laurence Burton,
Rep. Sherman Lloyd and Congressional candidate Dick Richards. Criticising incumbent Dem-
ocrat Frank Moss, the VP took him to task for supporting last years' Moratorium demon-
strations and calling their cause "just." "That cause, said the VP, "was the cause of
sellout and surrender. There can be no cause more unjust." Agnew also disassociated the
Administration from the findings of what he called the "lame-duck" Commission on Obscenity
and Pornography, a group formed under the Johnson Administration. Declaring that it is
"not our baby, Agnew said: "As long as Richard Nixon is President, Main Street is not
going to be turned into Smut Alley.'
TOP DEMOCRATS SUPPORT BLACK PANTHER SYMPATHIZER, SELF-PROCLAIMED RADICAL. As if to demon-
strate exactly what AFL-CIO Labor leader George Meany meant when he talked about the Demo-
crat Party's flirtation with extremism, top Democrats have thrown their support behind
Black Panther sympathizer Ronald V. Dellums, Democrat candidate for Congress in the 7th
District of California. A recent fund-raiser for Dellums in Washington at the Women's
National Democrat Club, attracted as sponsors Democrat Sens. Bayh, Kennedy, Cranston,
Harris, Hughes, Mondale and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark. Another top Democrat
who turned out for Dellums as guest of honor at a "Champagne Sip" in Oakland, was Sargent
Shriver. Shriver heads the "Congressional Leadership for the Future," an organization
whose primary purpose is to elect non-incumbents to the House. While he plays it cool at
Washington cocktail parties ("I want peace, justice, humanity "), his own campaign lit-
erature labels him a "radical" and he has been quoted as saying of the campaign: "The con-
cern is how you relate to the kind of reality which the Panthers have perceived. There
are roles for all of us." Dellums has also been a supporter of a group which has advo-
cated supplying weapons to black revolutionaries. Dellums' activities on behalf of the
Black Panther Party have included speeches and appearances at their rallies where he has
shared the platform with such Panther leaders as Eldridge Cleaver and Huey Newton.
Panther chief David Hilliard has said Dellums would make a "responsible Congressman."
The GOP candidate for Congress in the 7th District is John Healy.

BERKELEY POLL ON YOUTH WAY OFF BASE; MEDIA TAKEN FOR A RIDE. A few weeks ago in papers
across the country and on at least one evening television news show (CBS), the American
public was told about a poll which showed that 99 percent of 1,542 college and university
seniors surveyed believed that some kind of confrontation is necessary and may be effective
in changing the Nation's social and political directions. In carrying the story, both wire
services mentioned the representative nature of the study: AP said it was taken on college
campuses "across the country" and UPI quoted the researchers as saying the students polled
were from "widely diverse" schools. Thus, the idea was planted: college students are not
as opposed to violence as commonly thought. But the poll is a clinker. MONDAY has learned
that the survey, taken by two researchers at the University of California's (at Berkeley)
Center for Research and Development, is so unrepresentative as to be virtually meaningless
and is also at odds with previous surveys on young people and their attitudes toward con-
frontation and violence.
To begin with, over one half of those students surveyed were from Berkeley. A spokesman
for the Gallup organization in Princeton, N.J. told MONDAY that any poll which pretends to
be diverse yet takes over half its sample from one school is not remotely representative of
the country at large. "Unless half the college students in the country go to Berkeley,'
said the spokesman, "the poll has no meaning nationally." Further illustrating the unrep-
resentative nature of the poll is the fact that no students attending colleges or universi-
ties in the South were polled. According to the 1970 U.S. Statistical Abstract, there are
at least 745 institutions of higher education in the South, more than any other section of
the country. Yet nobody in any of these schools was asked anything.
Truly national polls in the past have showed an overwhelming majority of young people (not
just college students) opposed to violence as a method of achieving social change. The
highly respected National Gilbert Youth Poll has conducted a survey of several thousand
young people in all areas of the country (ages 14-25) and found that 73 percent say violence
is never justified to attain social or political goals. Likewise, a recent national poll of
politically active students by the League for Industrial Democracy, the organization which
spawned the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), found that the number of radical, New
Left students on American campuses has been widely over-estimated. Said one of the poll-
sters, Josh Muravchik: "It is clear to us that the New Left, as we have known it, is on
the decline, is falling apart and dying all over the place as a movement
which
has
some
claim to the imagination of large numbers of students, it is dying very rapidly.

cent favor a Democrat victory; 44 a GOP win. This is a 3 point gain for us and a 1 point

COOPERATION NOT CONFRONTATION IS THE WORD IN NEW ORLEANS. President Nixon graphically
demonstrated his concern that desegregation in Southern schools this fall be orderly,
efficient and done without injury to quality public education, when he flew to New Orleans
August 14. "The highest court of the land has spoken," said President Nixon. "The law
having been determined, it is the responsibility of those in the Federal Government
to
uphold the law. And I shall meet that responsibility." The President stressed that the
problems of race relations was not exclusively a sectional one: "I have no patience with
those from the North that point the finger at the South and then overlook the fact that in
many Northern cities and Northern states the problem may also be a very, very difficult
one." Louisiana State GOP Chairman Charles deGravelles told MONDAY that he felt the Pres-
ident's trip had a "tremendous impact" and that the Administration's attitude of coopera-
tion not confrontation has gone a long way toward cooling what could have been a touchy
situation when schools open later this year. Throughout the summer, the Cabinet Committee
on Education has been organizing blue-ribbon committees in seven Southern states. The
committeemen, appointed by the President, are charged with providing and building support
for public schools in the wake of the transition from dual to unitary school systems.
President Nixon has emphasized the importance of local leadership in making the desegrega-
tion process smooth.
MITCHELL URGES "PRIORITY ATTENTION" TO CRIME BILLS. The latest FBI crime report has again
focused attention on the crime problem in this country and made even more indefensible the
Democrat-controlled Congress' refusal to act on at least 12 major Administration anti-crime
proposals. "The Nixon Administration has been unequivocal in its commitment to fight
against crime and to improve the administration of criminal justice in America,' Attorney
General John N. Mitchell told MONDAY. "Several legislative proposals that would give the
Department of Justice the tools it needs to move effectively against all forms of crime
are pending in Congress. Among them are two priority items -- the organized crime bill and
the dangerous drug bill. Unfortunately, most of the anti-crime proposals received scant
attention the past year. If Congress truly wants to reduce crime -- and help the Justice
Department do the kind of job that Americans expect -- these bills should receive priority
attention.
AGNEW RAPS ANTI-WAR AMENDMENT AS "BLUEPRINT FOR DEFEAT." Speaking last week to the Veterans
of Foreign Wars in Miami, Vice President Agnew labeled the Hatfield-McGovern Amendment "a
blueprint for the first defeat in the history of the United States -- and for chaos and Com-
munism for the future of South Vietnam." The amendment seeks to end all American military
operations in Southeast Asia by December 31, 1971. "Such a fixed timetable," said Agnew,
would deal a final and lethal blow to both the Paris peace talks and result in a collapse
of the South Vietnamese Government, chaos in the country -- and "ultimately the kind of
Communism that literally decimated the civilian population of Hue in the Tet offensive."
LAST SERIOUS SENATE CHALLENGE TO ABM DEFEATED 53-45. The Administration won a decisive vic-
tory last week in the Senate when the Brooke Amendment to limit the ABM to its present two
sites was defeated by an even larger margin than expected, 53-45. The Administration-spon-
sored proposal will be subjected to a few more relatively minor amendments and then will go
to a Senate-House conference where differences between the two legislative bodies will be
worked out. At issue is $10 million for four additional ABM sites around the country to
provide a "thin," or area, defense against the possibility of a Red Chinese attack. The
Administration, backed by House approval, wants the area defense, the Senate has voted
against it and deleted the funds for it. Sources close to the ABM battle believe the Ad-
ministration will win and the $10 million will be restored in the conference.
AS PRESIDENT SAID, CAMBODIA WILL SAVE LIVES. In his June 30 report on the incursion into
Cambodia to clean out Communist sanctuaries, President Nixon said the operation would "save
American lives." A comparison of American battle deaths six weeks before the Cambodian
operation and six weeks after shows the number killed down by one-third.

In the Congress, Sen. Ed Brooke of Massachusetts said "The stability of our economic fabric
is being restored The policy of fiscal responsibility is working. House GOP leader Rep.
Gerald Ford hailed the Nixon "game plan" for producing a victory over inflation. In a rela-
ted and further encouraging development, the government's July business preview indicators
showed their sharpest increase in 15 months. The Commerce Department's index of "leading
indicators, designed to predict future business trends, rose 1.6 percent causing Asst. Sec-
retary of Commerce Harold Passer to declare: "These statistics provide solid support for the
expectation that business activity is resuming its advance." This most recent good news on
the economic front comes on the heels of similar good news over the past several weeks which
has included: a resurgence in the stock market, increased industrial production, new strength
in housing, the forecast of a soon-to-happen upturn in business plant and equipment spending,
a decline in interest rates and moderating consumer price increases.
VICE PRESIDENT TOURS ASIA: TALKS OF "NIXON DOCTRINE. " Vice President Agnew returns this
week from a 30,000 mile Asian trip to Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, Cambodia and the Republic
of China where he spoke to our allies of the so-called Nixon Doctrine. The Doctrine, as
described by President Nixon, has as its goal "not withdrawing from Asia, but providing
the means whereby the United States will help other nations help themselves so that we can
have a peaceful Pacific with free nations in Asia able to defend themselves against agres-
sion."
PACKARD VOWS CHANGE IN DEFENSE PROCUREMENT "MESS." Laying it on the line in an unusually
candid speech before the Armed Forces Management Assn., Assistant Secretary of Defense
David Packard has acknowledged that Defense procurement is "a real mess" and that it is
going to be "cleaned up." In the past there has been bad management of many Defense pro-
grams, he said, which has resulted in the spending of billions of dollars, sometimes badly.
"The system in the Department of Defense is going to change," said Packard. "Secretary
Laird and I are going to demand it." The Assistant Secretary said most 113 recommendations
of the Fitzhugh Panel, designed to improve the operation of the Defense Department, will be
put into effect "as quickly as possible."
ONE WEEK VIETNAM DEATH TOLL LOWEST IN 3 1/2 YEARS. The U.S. Command has reported that the
recent total of 52 Americans killed in Vietnam in one week was the lowest death toll since
the week ending December 3, 1966 when 44 died. In a Pentagon news conference, Defense
Secretary Laird said that he felt the incursion into Cambodia to clean out Communist sanc-
tuaries "has had a significant effect" in reducing American casualities. "The casualties
are lower,' said Laird, "because the enemy has not been able to stage a significant action
in Vietnam and I do attribute that to taking the sanctuary areas away from him."

"PROMPT ACTION" CALLED FOR TO END $2 MILLION-A-DAY SPENDING. Echoing a call he made almost
six months ago when he sent the message to Congress, President Nixon has again called for

BIG $PENDER
(FIFTH IN A SERIES) A recent poll taken for GOP Senatorial
candidate Andy Carter shows that inflation and big spending
OF THE WEEK
are the number one issues with the people of New Mexico and
that most individuals blame the Democrats. This is bad news
for Democrat Senator Joseph Montoya, one of the biggest
spenders in the U.S. Senate.
Montoya has gone on record as favoring what he calls "real-
istic restrictions" on campaign expenditures by political
candidates. After looking over the Senator's own spending
record one wishes he would worry less about campaign expend-
itures and more about placing "realistic restrictions" on
the spending of incumbent U.S. Senators, like say himself.
For Sen. Montoya, when it comes to financing his legislative
schemes, the taxpayer's money is no object. Since coming to the Senate in 1964, Mon-
toya has introduced legislation which, if passed, would have totalled literally bil-
lions and billions of dollars.
An analysis of the bills introduced or co-sponsored by Montoya this Congress, the 91st,
shows that had they passed, the lifetime costs of the legislation would be nearly
$8 billion.
But most irresponsible of all is the fact that at least 38 of the bills introduced by
the Senator contain open-ended spending authorizations for the first and succeeding
fiscal years. If these bills were to pass it would mean the end of any type of bud-
getary stability. There would be no way to determine the Federal budget because the
expenditure column would be a series of question marks.
The open-ended approach, as practiced by Sen. Montoya, is unfortunately all too fre-
quent in the Democrat-controlled Congress. In at least one state, Wisconsin, the pro-
cedure is outlawed.
The ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL recently reported that a movie director had offered Sen. Mon-
toya a bit part after seeing his photograph. With New Mexico's voters feeling the way
they do about inflation and with the Senator's spending record being what it is the
Senator would be wise not to turn down any offers because after the November elections
Montoya will undoubtedly be without his present job and Andy Carter will be the new
Senator from New Mexico.
HOUSE BACK IN SESSION: MUCH WORK TO DO. As the Democrat-controlled House comes back into
session this week it faces a mountain of unacted on Nixon Administration legislation. House
GOP Leader Gerald Ford says that of 100 major legislative requests made by the President since
coming into office almost two years ago, the Congress has not yet taken final action on 56.
Forty-four of the bills have yet to reach the House floor and deal with such subjects as:
organized crime, drug control, consumer protection and the environment. "I do not suggest
that this Congress should be a rubber stamp for the White House," said Ford. "But I do say
we should bring these measures to the floor of the House and of the other body before election
day. Let every legislator stand up and be counted for or against President Nixon's proposals.
They should not be allowed to languish and die in Democrat-controlled committees while Demo-
crat campaign orators berate President Nixon for lack of legislative results.'
FEDERAL MONEY FOR CORRECTIONS UP 30 TIMES OVER LAST YEAR. In November of last year, Presi-
dent Nixon directed the Attorney General to mobilize Federal resources to improve corrections.
This has been done. Clarence M. Coster, Associate Administrator of the Law Enforcement
Assistance Administration (LEAA), has announced: "We have doubled the percentage of block
action grant money which states have allocated for corrections. More important, we have
raised the total of that amount from approximately $3 million in fiscal 1969 to approximately
$50 million this year approximately 30 times as much as spent in fiscal 1969."

AGNEW PRAISES "THE SYSTEM"; CALLS FOR MUTUAL RESPECT, FORBEARANCE. Praising the American
system as the "greatest engine of change and progress the world has ever seen," Vice Presi-
dent Agnew spoke to the American Legion's National Convention in Portland, Oregon, last
week and thanked them for their support of the Nixon Administration. "The system -- our
democratic system, here in America,' said Agnew, "is not a something-for-nothing machine.
It requires that each of us contribute. Its base is not government. Its base is the people.
Its great strength is not the great strength of government, but the strength of the people."
Speaking of domestic violence, the Vice President warned that confronted with a choice, the
American people will choose the policeman's truncheon over the anarchist's bomb. "But true
peace," he said, "lies neither in the bomb nor truncheon. It lies in the pattern of mutual
respect and mutual forbearance that is the essence of a civilized society. That pattern is
what has to be strengthened and maintained.'
POLL, POLL
WHO'S GOT THE POLL? Once in July and again in August, Democrat Sen. Stephen
M. Young took to the floor of the Senate and spoke of what he called a "Gallup poll or sur-
vey" allegedly taken for the U.S. military command in Saigon and then suppressed by Ambassa-
dor Bunker and top U.S. Army officials. The poll, mentioned on an ABC television documentary,
was supposed to show 65 percent of the people of South Vietnam wanting all Americans out of
their country. Sen. McGovern of South Dakota also mentioned the poll on a nationally tele-
vised news show. While it's true that the military command in Saigon does conduct polls of
this nature, the results of which are never made public, MONDAY can state unequivocally that
a poll of this type has not been taken and the information leaked to ABC was either a total
fabrication or a gross distortion. The only poll even close to this subject has been a
regional poll of some 800 South Vietnamese which showed that of the 65 percent who said they
understood the Nixon Administration's policy of phased withdrawal, 68 percent favored it.
AMERICAN RACER
First fighting men--more than 125,000 to date--and now equipment and supplies, are being re-
turned from Southeast Asia as a result of President Nixon's Vietnamization policies. Robert
Kunzig, head of G.S.A., led Federal and military officials recently in welcoming back to the
U.S. the first full shipload of excess goods to be returned as a result of reduced opera-
tions in Southeast Asia. The $6.5 million cargo, including items ranging from diesel engines
and truck tires to medical refrigerators and surgeon's gloves, will be available for dona-
tion to hospitals and schools in every state. Participating with Kunzig were Dr. Theodore
Marrs, Deputy Asst. Secretary of Defense; James Farmer, Asst. Secretary of HEW, and Dr.
Benjamin Wells, Deputy Chief Medical Director of the V.A.

MEANY SAYS DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS "DISINTEGRATED" BEING TAKEN OVER BY "EXTREMISTS." AFL-CIO
President George Meany charged last week that the Democrat Party has "disintegrated" and is
in danger of losing the support of its members because of a take over by "extremists." "The
Democratic Party has disintegrated," said Meany, "it is not the so-called liberal party that
it was a few years ago. It almost has got to be the party of extremists in so far as these
so-called liberals or new lefts, or whatever you want to call them, have taken over the
Democratic Party. As they take it over and as they move more and more to the left -- and I
mean a way over to the left -- I think more and more are going to lose the support of our
members " On the economy, Meany said it is basically "sound"; on Vietnam, he said he
agrees with President Nixon and thinks he "has a practical plan to get out. To a reporters
question as to whether or not he has ever seen the Democrat Party in as desperate a shape as
now, Meany replied: "No. Never " The big question now is: Will Meany put his money where
his mouth is and cut off labor support to ultra-liberal Democrat Senate and House candidates?
The answer appears to be that he will not. The AFL-CIO's Committee on Political Education
(COPE) tells MONDAY that they will continue to fund these people as they always have.
"END WAR AMENDMENT" DEFEATED 55-39; ADMINISTRATION VICTORIOUS. The Senate last week defeated
the Hatfield-McGovern so-called "amendment to end the war" by an overwhelming 55-39. (Sen.
Bob Dole of Kansas had called the measure the "amendment to lose the peace. White House
Press Secretary Ron Ziegler said that President Nixon interpreted the vote "as a solid vote
of confidence in his policy of working toward peace in Vietnam.' The amendment, changed so
often it had become almost meaningless, sought to force the withdrawal of all U.S. troops
from Vietnam by the end of next year but gave the President an option of a 60-day extension
if he determined GI's were in "clear and present danger." Sources close to the debate over
the amendment believe that Sen. George McGovern's emotional outburst charging every Senator
in the Chamber with sending young Americans to their grave did a disservice to his cause and
may well have prevented the anti-war forces from swinging the one Senator they needed to get
their predicted 40 votes. (At one point McGovern said: "This Chamber reeks of blood.")
PRIMARIES HELD IN NEVADA, NORTH DAKOTA. MONDAY last week talked with the GOP state chairmen
in Nevada and North Dakota and learned the following:
--Nevada. State Chairman George Abbott feels that our Senatorial candidate William Raggio's
campaign "is really off the ground.' Abbott notes that at this point in the campaign
Raggio is further ahead of Demo incumbent Sen. Cannon than our candidate Paul Laxalt was
at this point six years ago. Cannon beat Laxalt by only 48 votes. GOP registration in
the state is up 9,000 from four years ago and the Demos are down 15,000. This could be
significant in a state like Nevada where 75,000 votes will probably elect the next Senator.
Election results: for Senate, Raggio winner by 31-1; for Governor, Lt. Gov. Ed Fike, also
by 31-1; for Congress, J. Robert Charles who have a tough fight against 16 year veteran
Demo Walter Baring.
--North Dakota. State Chairman Jack Huss reports that "high interest" in 2nd District race
for Congress good news for Republican Party in that state. Election results: for Senate,
Tom Kleppe (unopposed) with about 55,000 votes; Demo incumbent Burdick (unopposed) with
about 27,000; no Governor's race; for Congress, 1st District's Mark Andrews overwhelming
winner, 40-1; real horse race in 2nd District with Richard Flkin unofficial winner over
Robert McCarney by about 80 votes. Vote canvas being conducted, official results Sept. 15.

"HAVE NOT LOST FAITH IN U.S.," SAYS ISRAEL PRIME MINISTER. Despite the efforts of newsmen to
elicit from her an answer to the contrary, Israel Prime Minister Golda Meir says that her
country has "not lost faith in the United States government.' Appearing on "Face the Nation,"
Mrs. Meir said: "I don't want to leave one question unanswered, because my not answering it
may be misinterpreted. I want to say we have not lost faith in the United States government.
The government certainly lost no faith in whatever was said by President Nixon -- I have
no doubt whatsoever in his and his government's concern for the State of Israel, their desire
to see that everything that is possible for the security of Israel should be forthcoming.
Now, it's not a question of trust. It's a question of interpretation, what is good for Israel,
what borders are good for Israel, what is needed for Israel for its security and SO on. I
didn't want that to be left unanswered."

POLITICAL POTPOURRI
Republicans in the Senate are unhappy over the increasing probability of a post-election
session. With less than two months until elections, the 21 incumbent Democrats up for re-
election are champing at the bit to get out and campaign despite the fact that there is
much work to do in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Mansfield seems resigned to such
a session. One big fear is the chaos that could result from having perhaps as many as 15
or more lame duck Senators, who represent no one, voting on important legislation. "All
things considered," said one GOP Senate aide, "it would be a bad scene" V.P. Agnew speaks

heard in American political discussions prior to the inception of the Republican Nixon Ad-
ministration. And it seems to have been promoted with special vigor since the President
called attention to the Silent Majority and Vice President Agnew began giving voice to
some of the majority's pet peeves. It will be recalled by those who remember the early
days of the New Deal that the liberal community in this country virtually invented the
concept of polarization. The entire political approach of the Roosevelt Administration in
those days was based on polarizing the attitudes of the so-called 'have nots' against the
so-called 'haves. The persons of wealth were called 'Bourbons' and 'Economic Royalists'
and otherwise characterized in a fashion calculated to engender the dislike if not actually
the hatred of the so-called 'have nots. 111

President Nixon last week named retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Benjamin 0. Davis (right)
Director of Civil Aviation Security for the Department of Transportation. Gen. Davis'
job will be to advise the Secretary of Transportation, John Volpe (center), on the
Administration's anti-hijacking program and to coordinate the functions of all airport
and airborne security forces. Meanwhile, at an International Civil Aviation Organiza-
tion meeting in Montreal, Secretary Volpe called for a boycott of air service to nations
harboring or failing to punish hijackers.
CAMPUS PEACE IS JOB OF ACADEMIC COMMUNITY, SAYS PRESIDENT. In a cover letter accompanying
an article on campus violence by Prof. Sidney Hook of New York University, President Nixon
has again reminded some 900 university administrators that "the primary responsibility for
maintaining a climate of free discussion and inquiry on the college campus rests with the
academic community itself.' The President said that government had its responsibilities
but "there can be no substitute for the acceptance of responsibility for order and disci-
pline on campuses by college administrators and faculty." President Nixon in his letter
asked for comments on the subject. In a related development, the President last week
asked Congress for additional funds for 1,000 new FBI agents to deal with campus violence
and aerial hijacking.
DRUG CRACKDOWN OPERATION "AN UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS." The Nixon Administration's "Operation
Cooperation,' designed to shut off drugs coming into this country from Mexico, was one
year old last week and hailed as "an unqualified success.' Bureau of Narcotics and Danger-
ous Drugs Director, John Ingersoll, told MONDAY: "It (the operation) was an unqualified
success. It virtually stopped the traffic in drugs during the last year, acted as a de-
terrent to international drug traffickers, and created an increased awareness of the
problem by U.S. and Mexican citizens." In the last three months, a period described as
"typical," U.S. Custom agents seized 3,083 pounds of marijuana as compared to only 1,603
pounds for the same period before the operation began.

BIG $PENDER
(EIGHTH IN A SERIES) Harrison Williams likes to take credit
for being the great benefactor in the Senate of the poor and
OF THE WEEK
elderly, but by his proposals and votes over the past twelve
years, Williams has probably done more harm to those who live
on a fixed and small income than any other man in Washington.
If the preferences of the junior Senator from New Jersey had
become law, the Williams' inflation would have made Lyndon
Johnson's economic debacle seem small in comparison.
Since coming to the Senate in 1958, Harrison Williams has
proposed and voted for measures that would have created defi-
cits of nearly one trillion dollars. In the first session of
the 91st Congress alone, Williams proposed or voted for bills
which would have caused a deficit of over $114,998,206,000.
Sen. Harrison Williams
At that pace for another term, Williams would produce a defi-
cit of more than $685 billion. One shudders at the thought
of the shambles the American economy would be in after Pete Williams got through playing
with it.
Not content with gigantic budget deficits, Williams has also made liberal use of the open-
ended spending authorization, a cynical device of politicians who want to take credit for
federal programs without facing up to their cost. At least 54 bills Williams introduced
during the 91st session of Congress contained no spending limits at all -- they did not
even contain spending estimates.
What makes the Williams' spending spree even more irresponsible is his refusal to vote for
any tax measures to finance his schemes. On the contrary, Williams seems to relish voting
to decrease federal revenues. Not satisfied with the Gore amendment raising personal in-
come tax exemptions to $800, Williams introduced his own bill for a $900 exemption -- at a
cost to the government, if enacted, of nearly $10 billion per year. During 1969 alone,
Williams voted for thirteen bills to reduce revenue to the federal government by a total
of $65,852,701,000.
The junior Senator's imagination never seems to fail him when it comes to dreaming up
measures to spend the taxpayers' money. Last year he conjured up a plan to supply maids
to people on medicare, clothing stamps to people who have food stamps, and tax deductions
for everyone. In case our imagination needs prodding, Williams was kind enough to set up
during the 91st Congress, another 36 committees, commissions, bureaus, and departments to
recommend still more ways to spend our money.
The American taxpayer cannot afford to pick up the tab for another six years of Williams'
spending and that is why the voters of New Jersey are going to send Nelson Gross to
Washington as their next United States Senator.
DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED CONGRESS PINS ON SHERIFF'S BADGE. While it has been obvious for some
weeks that certain Democrat politicians are now frantically trying to pin on the sheriff's
badge as the elections get closer, it now seems that the entire Democrat-controlled
Congress is trying to pull the same stunt. In a flurry of action prompted by strong
Republican pressure, the Democrat-controlled Congress is at long last beginning to move
on Nixon Administration law and order legislation. Among the actions taken last week
were: (1) House approval of a bill designed to crack down on narcotics traffic and use.
The bill was a major part of the Nixon Administration's anti-crime package and was sent to
the Congress over a year ago. (2) House Judiciary Committee okay of a stiff Administration-
backed anti-crime measure dealing with organized crime and bombings. (3) Unanimous Senate
passage of a bill permitting people receiving pornographic literature to return it at the
sender's expense.
Top of the News Monday, Sept. 28, 1970
ECONOMIC PICTURE CONTINUES TO BRIGHTEN; AUGUST CONSUMER PRICE RISE DOWN 50 PERCENT. Last
week's news that August's rise in consumer prices was the smallest in 20 months was, in
the words of the NEW YORK TIMES, "the strongest evidence thus far that inflationary
pressures are easing.' "What is significant,' explained Dr. Herbert Stein of the Presi-
dent's Council of Economic Advisers, "is that the rise in the index of 1/5th of one per-
cent is that it follows two other months of relative small increase, SO that now we have
a sequence of three months in which the annual rate of increase was 3.5 percent, which
is the lowest three month rate since the fall of 1967. Dr. Stein said that these most
recent figures are "solid evidence" that Administration economic policies are working.
In another related development, at least a score of the country's major banks lowered
their prime interest rate to 7.5 percent. In time, this trend should begin to benefit
consumers -- especially home buyers -- as well as large businesses. Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury for Tax Policy, Murray Weidenbaum, told MONDAY that the reduction in
interest rates and the slow down in other prices "are not temporary but are a part of a
solid trend that should continue for the future." In addition, the Commerce Department
issued two reports which indicated the economic picture is beginning to brighten: private
housing starts were up last month to a figure higher than the previous six months of this
year; and personal income of all Americans in August was up again and higher than the
average monthly level. The stock market also surged forward to register its best advance
in three weeks with a marked increase in trading activity on the part of mutual funds
and other institutions.
"RADICAL LIBERALS" CATCH IT AGAIN; VICE PRESIDENT CAMPAIGNS IN 4 STATES. Vice President
Agnew's campaign jet, Michelle Ann II (named after his granddaughter), roared through four
states last week on behalf of Republican candidates and sent the "radical liberals"
scurrying for cover. In Louisville, Ky. for an old friend, Rep. William Cowger, Agnew
blasted those who blame society for driving people to drugs and labeled this reasoning
"the puddle-minded philosophy of the radical liberal run rampant
the sort of fatuous
nonsense being perpetrated on the American public by super-permissive officials " The
Vice President said this type of thinking is nonsense because "by blaming everybody it
holds nobody responsible.
In a huge rally in Memphis, Tenn., for Senatorial candidate Bill Brock and Gubernatorial
hopeful Winfield Dunn, the Vice President socked it to incumbent Democrat Senator Albert
Gore. Calling Sen. Gore's appearance in the receiving line at the airport "a touching
farewell appearance," Agnew scored Gore for being out of touch with the people of Tennes-
see and branded him the "Southern regional chairman of the Eastern Liberal Establishment.
Needless to say, this brought the house down. "1970 is a clash between big-government,
big spender political philosophy of the opposition candidates for Governor and Senate in
this state on the one hand," said Agnew, "and the moderate, centrist and conservative
political philosophy represented by people of all parties who support men like Winfield
Dunn, Bill Brock and the President of the United States." Senator Howard Baker and Reps.
Dan Kuykendall and Jimmy Quillen also appeared on the platform with the Vice President.
In Indianapolis, Ind., for GOP Senatorial candidate Richard Roudebush, Vice President
Agnew said the "paramount issue" in the campaign is whether or not Hoosiers will be rep-
resented in the Senate by a man who reflects their thinking. "Dick Roudebush," said
Agnew, "passes this test with flying colors and his opponent flunks it in every respect.
Detailing incumbent Democrat Senator Vance Hartke's radical liberal voting record in the
Congress and his softness on law and order, Agnew said that now that election time is
near there will be a refurbishing of the image and the Senator will now become "Hartke
the cop." But it will not work, the Vice President said, "the people who have proven
themselves to be consistently wrong do not deserve to be your leaders."
In Milwaukee, Wisc., speaking for GOP Gubernatorial candidate Jack Olson and Senatorial
candidate, John Erickson, the Vice President branded incumbent Democrat William Proxmire
a "certified big spender despite his flamboyant press about slashing national defense."
Agnew also attacked "permissiveness," specifically the gospel according to Dr. Spock, and
"intellectual double standards"

SURVEY SINGLES OUT BIG SPENDERS IN CONGRESS. Twelve Democrat incumbent Senators are
among those failing to top even 30 percent on the fiscal responsibility scale, according
to the Economy Voting Record released last week by the National Associated Businessmen,
Inc. Utah's Sen. Moss scored a 0.0 while Sens. Tydings, Hart and Jackson failed to reach
10.0. Sens. Burdick, Kennedy, Montoya, Symington and Williams all fell short of 20.0 and
Cannon, McGee and Mansfield came in at under 30. Ninety three Demo House members rated
a 0.0. The N.A.B. has been rating members of Congress on their votes for fiscal responsi-
bility since 1964 and presents the Watchdog of the Treasury Awards to those who score 75
or better.
POLITICAL POTPOURRI
Vice President Agnew met The Kids last week on the David Frost Show and by all accounts
they never knew what hit them. After it was all over and one student began to angrily
denounce the show's producers for stacking the audience, denying the more radical mem-
bers of the panel a chance to question the VP, etc., another one of the students stopped
her and said: "I don't think we can look for CIA's under every rug. It was our fault. "
Even columnist Mary McGrory conceded "the students had not done their homework. A
clarification: when the Vice President accused one of the students, Eva Jefferson, of
advocating violence, she accused him of taking her remarks before the Scranton Commis-
sion on Student Unrest out of context. A check of the transcript shows that her remarks
were not taken out of context. At one point she said: "The only thing that is going to
move the Administration, is blow up a building; either you blow it up or you say, we do
not want a change that much anyway. "

Congressional Leadership of the Future
1701 K Street, Northwest
Suite 1203
Washington, D.C.
This group was set up in late June, 1970 to help in the Fall elections. When this
group was started they had the support of the House leadership. It appears that
the operation is being financed by Shriver and Kennedy people. They have raised
approximately $23,000 for the period 6/70 to 9/70. Rent per month is $1,773.00
on the 12th floor offices.
Sargent Shriver is Chairman and Myer Peldman is Treasurer. Mr. Feldman was Leg-
islative Assistant to Senator John Kennedy from 1958 to 1961. He became Deputy
Special Counsel to the President in 1961 and Counsel to President Johnson in 1964.
He is now a partner in the law firm of Ginsburg and Feldman, Washington, D.C.
