MEMORANDUM FOR MR. HALDEMAN
FROM:
Nick Ruwe
.
With the announcement of the President's swing through
Connecticut and this Saturday's upcoming political swing
the situation has developed that several candidates
or their managers are now declining offers of the First
Family or Cabinet members on the basis of holding out
hope that the President will visit their states. As
an example, John Wold is declining offers in the hope
that the President will go to Wyoming. For certain
reasons, we know that the President will not go to
Wyoming.
No doubt there are some states where the President
will not go and a list of these would be very helpful.

"Conservative". One was made an officer and the others

were well accepted. When the group decided to leaflet

the high school campuses and the college campuses our
CRAIG TOWNSEND

people volunteered to help. 80% of the léterature was
dumped into tradh cans.
During the meetings we began to use a negative approach
saying that no one would show up, and further that these
was no interest.
Well - it worked. The signs made no sense (we supplied
the slogans), they had seven picketers. Add we still
have infiltrators in the group.
The Vice Presidents speach went well.

CAMPAIGN STATUS REPORT
Attached is an updated calendar as of October 11.
Dick Howard is now devoting full time to the scheduling
of the First Family, and as of this week he will produce
a separate weekly report on the activities of the First
Family.
COMMENTS
1. The death of Robert Finch's father-in-law forced
cancellation of North Dakota. This appearance, however,
will be rescheduled later in the month.
2. It would seem that concern can still be registered
about Murphy's campaign. Stans, Volpe and Hodgson all
had definite dates that did not materialize because,
as an example, this office was informed that October 23
is looking too far down the road and therefore, there
was no use discussing a Volpe appearance on that date.
3. Secretary Kennedy is using an effective gimmick
for creating coverage by holding regional patriotic-
type Savings Bonds meetings.
-2-
4. Kunzig, GSA, has a system working where federal
building dedications are keyed on our candidates. This
past week Kunzig and Raggio dedicated a new federal building
in Carson City. Kunzig will also dedicate a building on
the 12th with our Congressional candidate in Fresno.
5. Although the Postmaster General is now non-political,
the coverage he gets is outstanding and has to be a plus
for the Administration. This fact probably has something
to do with his Public Information Officer Jim Holland.
PLANNING
The Bush people feel that the President, if he makes
an appearance in Texas, would be most effective in
Dallas. Their thinking is based on the assumption
that Bush is doing very well in Houston and that the
President's popularity is highest in Dallas.

FROM:

CAMPAIGN STATUS REPORT
The attached updated calendar is looking very good. The
addition of the First Family and totally updated schedule
gives a clear picture of coverage.
FIRST FAMILY
Dick Howard has returned from his advance of Madrid for the
President. He will be handling advance and scheduling for
the First Family. Coral Schmid has established an excellent
liaison between our office and the First Family.
SPEAKER INFORMATION
The unemployment issue was announced on Friday, late. Ed
Barner spent most of Saturday and Sunday reducing the
Mac Cracken letter to three paragraphs which gave perspective
to the hard percentages. Barner then contacted Secretary
Kennedy, Stans, Postmaster General Blount, Mr. Finch and
Senator Dole with the unemployment information as well as
Golda Meir's statement re the President's role in getting the
Syrians out of Jordan. All speakers were very receptive and
appreciative.
-2-
GAME PLAN
We plan on implementing Herbert G. Klein's suggestion to
develop a positive plan of attack and arming our speakers
with the line of the day. For example, "Why are you out
here in support of Congressman Burton?" "The Democrats
flagrant disregard for the needs of the country necessitates
changing the balance within the Congress to move urgent
legislation, etc
"
PLANNING
George Bush feels it would be quite helpful if Secretary
Chaffee would make an appearance in Corpus Christi and the
Secretary has agreed to do this.
The President will do Connecticut the week of the 12th and
a Transportation Seminar organized by Volpe will probably
be put together the week of the 26th. Weicker can effectively
be plugged into this.
For the last week in October, we are planning a Rural
Development Cabinet meeting in Wyoming and, of course,
the reason here is Wold.
COMMENTS
1. Some of the losers come November 4 will undoubtedly be
ready to criticize the White House and we are keeping a tally
of turndowns. As an example, the Danforth people said they
couldn't use Finch when we offered him for Kansas City and weren't
willing to give 10% to the Republican National Committee when
we offered Rumsfeld for a $100 plate fund raiser in St. Louis.
2. Elliott Richardson had to cancel a Minnesota appearance
in order to attend the Nasser funeral.
3. David and Julie agreed to do the JOHNNY CARSON SHOW and
interestingly enough NBC doesn't want them until after the
elections.
-3-
4. I think it is already in the works, but a Cramer-
Kirk-Carswell "love-in" at Key Biscayne could be very
helpful.
5. Hickel has scheduled himself into a Harvard University
student forum on October 23, and you might want to watch this.

PROPOSED GENERAL SPOT TO BE TAPED FOR RADIO
ANNOUNCER: The President of the United States
THE PRESIDENT:
Democrats, Independents and Republicans all want a
better America. That is why we should put aside party politics
November 3rd.
And vote for candidates opposed to the Big Spenders who have
sent prices and taxes soaring.
Vote for the candidates who will keep America strong and free
and against those men who constantly preach weakness and appeasement.
Vote for men and women who reject the philosophy of permissiveness.
Vote for men and women who will come hard against drug peddlers and
filth merchants; vote for men and women who will publicly demand that
both campus criminals and common criminals pay the just penalty for
their crimes.
With that kind of strong, firm, far -sighted Congress -- we will
make America safe again -- and keep America free.
(Buchanan)
September 25, 1970
PROPOSED TAPED SPOT FOR RADIO ON THE ECONOMY
ANNOUNCER: The President of the United States
THE PRESIDENT:
Fellow Americans. In the last decade we went on a national
spending binge that has brought the highest prices in history for your
food and clothing; and for your children's books and shoes. Because
of that Big Spender philosophy -- that still dominates Congress --
the Federal Government takes a tremendous cut out of your paychecks
e ach week, or your salary every month.
Things are getting better; but they are not good enough. I ask
you. Look closely at your candidates for Congress this fall. Then
vote for the candidate who will come here to Washington D.C. and help
us deliver a final knockout blow to inflation. Vote for that kind of man
so that when the next pay raise comes around, you and your family
will be the ones who spend it -- not the Federal Government.
(Safire/Buchanan)JK
September 25, 1970
PROPOSED 30-SECOND SENATE/HOUSE SPOT TO BE TAPED FOR
RADIO
ANNOUNCER: The President of the United States
THE PRESIDENT:
We need men and women in Congress who can make wise
distinctions between the right kind and the wrong kind of
government spending.
We need people in Congress who will be firm -- - and not
permissive -- about crime and violence.
We need people in Congress who want our country to stand
strong in the world.
When you vote this November third, elect candidates who
utterly reject the philosophy of the Big Spender; candidates who insist
that all our laws be obeyed -- by everyone; elect men and women who have
never condoned disruption or violence; elect candidates who want to keep
America strong -- not weak - - in this dangerous world. Elect those
candidates and you will have elected the Great Congress America so
badly needs.
(Safire) PJB/JK
September 25, 1970
PROPOSED 30-SECOND GOVERNOR SPOT TO BE TAPED FOR RADIO
ANNOUNCER: The President of the United States
THE PRESIDENT:
For many years, power in this country has flowed in the
wrong direction: away from the people, and toward the bureaucracy.
We're turning that around -- returning power to the State capitols,
to local communities, closer to the people. To do that we need strong
Governors who understand the needs of the people of their States.
(Buchanan)
September 25, 1970
PROPOSED TAPED SPOT FOR RADIO ON VIETNAM
ANNOUNCER: The President of the United States
THE PRESIDENT:
Every American wants peace and no American more
than I.
Because, let me tell you, there is no more painful burden of
this office than signing the letters to the parents and loved ones of
the men who have died in Vietnam.
But we don't want a peace that disgraces America and throws
away the sacrifices of our sons. We don't want a peace that means
humiliation for our country -- and Communism for all of Asia.
No, we all want, I believe, a just and a permanent peace.
So, I ask Americans of all parties: send to Washington this
election day men and women who will stand together and stand with
us -- for an honorable end to this war. We are half way there now - -
send us the candidates who will help us see this through.
(Buchanan)
September 25, 1970
PROPOSED GENERAL SPOT TO BE TAPED FOR RADIO
ANNOUNCER: The President of the United States
THE PRESIDENT:
Today, there is too much pornography, too much disorder,
too much violence, too much crime in America. Those candidates
who have ignored or condoned this violence and those who have sat
passively while the climate was created -- they should be rejected
by all Americans. Only thus can the future of our institutions,
and our country be assured. Democrats, Republicans and
Independents -- cast your ballots this year for the rule of law
in America.
(Buchanan)
September 25, 1970
PROPOSED GENERAL SPOT TO BE TAPED FOR RADIO
ANNOUNCER: The President of the United States
THE PRESIDENT:
The Age of Permissiveness, the Era of Indulgence is coming
to an end in America. Those candidates who have encouraged, condoned
or ignored violence in our cities and on our campuses should be
rejected -- and those who have stood for the vigorous enforcement of all
our laws should be elected -- - by all Americans. Only thus can we
make the Ninety-Second the Great Congress America so badly needs.

FROM:

CAMPAIGN STATUS REPORT
The updated calendar attached has the significant addition of
five appearances for John Mitchell. The European trip did not
damage the operation too much because Volpe wasn't scheduled
into anything that was highly significant, but Laird had
to rearrange his calendar and at this time it looks as if
he will have to cancel a rather important appearance in San
Antonio that could have been a plus for George Bush.
FIRST FAMILY
After several misunderstandings as to exactly what was wanted
we have received an approved schedule of events for the First
Family. Two of the approved dates have been cancelled, Mr.
and Mrs. David Eisenhower's trip west the weekend of October 10-11.
Alternate dates are being discussed. If any additional activities
are desired by members of the First Family we would suggest that
firm available dates be given this office with Key State preferences.
We can then proceed to arrange specific city and events.
It is our understanding that exact schedule and advance work
will be handled by Coral Schmid in Connie Stuart's office. This
situation has a chance because Mrs. Nixon likes and has confidence
in Coral Schmid.

CONGRESSIONAL AND NON KEY STATE REQUESTS
We continue to receive requests from Dent and Chotiner for
Cabinet level speakers in non key states and for individual
Congressional races.
WIRE MONITORING
From the standpoint of our wire service monitoring operation,
it seems to be working. A UPI reporter's interpretation of
Secretary Hickel's remarks to a student group might well have
been a negative issue. Jeb Magruder developed a party line
in response to the 5:30 p.m. EDT released article. We contacted
all Cabinet level officials on the road and gave them the line.
Secretary Hodgson was traveling with Utah press people and was
able to put out the line , indicating Hickel's remarks to be in
support of the Vice President. A later UPI release appeared
rewritten on page one of the Washington Post and is attached.
MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS
One report received from an Ohio Congressman this week indicates
that Rhodes is noticeably unenthusiastic about Taft's candidacy.
To show the exposure our people can get for a candidate is
illustrated quite well in Finch's appearance in New Jersey. The
visit received a sum total of 14 minutes prime time in the New
York City market and 12 minutes in the Philadelphia market.

The second attachment in this week's report consists of the
contacts in the Departments responsible for the Grant's program.
The third attachment is the persons designated by the candidate
who is responsible for contacting the Departments to determine
available grants. Both the candidate's people and the
Department's people are plugged in with each other and this
in effect gets the White House out of the middle. The
candidate's representatives have been instructed to contact
the White House if they find a lack of cooperation.
The Department's representatives were called in on Tuesday
of this week for:
1. A status report.
2. Given attachment three,
For the first time, a campaign manager refused to agree to a
10% cut to the National Committee and he did not get a speaker.
This was New Jersey.
As you are aware, Gore greeted the Vice President when he
arrived in Nashville this week and followed him around town
to a dedication, etc. Some intelligence indicates that Mc Gee
might do the same thing to David Kennedy in Wyoming and we are
watching closely to see if there is a planned pattern being
developed.
Ed Barner came up with the bad news that Burton is on the sauce
again and blew a television program quite badly. Fortunately,
Barner knew the TV station people and got them to dub and edit
the bad stuff out. Burton, however, is scheduled for more
television and a head-to-head debate and the plan is to have
Romney get in touch with him over the weekend to see what can
be done. Kennedy can also help here.
Amon Carter, Jr. of the Fort Worth Star Telegram feels that
Bush is not going to make it and plans to personally contribute
to the Bentson campaign. Stans will be in Fort Worth on the 8th
and we will try to get him to do a editorial or a publisher's
board with the Star Telegram.

WHAT SEEMED TO BE A CRITICAL SLAP AT VICE PRESIDENT SPIRO To AGNEW,

"THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO DEMAND LAW AND ORDER, BUT REFUSE TO

IN THE LAND. THEY WANT A CRACKDOWN ON DRUG TRAFFIC, BUT THEY DON'T

"THERE IS A DEPTH OF MATURITY ENTERING INTO IT A BIGNESS OF

FROM OTHER QUARTERS.
HICKEL SAID VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER.
TO BE NEGATIVE IS TO DIVIDE. IT TURNS US AGAINST EACH OTHER
AND KEEPS US SMALL. DEMONSTRATIONS DO NOT, BY TERMSELVES, SOLVE
PROBLEMS. OF COURSE, RIOTING AND VIOLENCE ARE NEGATIVE.
"SO IS THE RHETORIC OF POLARIZATION. AS HARD AS WE TRY, WE CANNOT

ISSUES
Vice President Agnew
In Kansas City, O'Brien lashed out at Agnew's campaign trip. He
stated:
"This week Mr. Agnew will set out across the nation once more.
Back in Washington, meanwhile, what is happening to those vice-
presidential assignments created by Congress and the President?
What of the President's Council on Youth Opportunity, which Mr.
Agnew heads and which failed to lift a finger this year in the
critical area of finding summer jobs for young people? What of
the councils on Space, Indian Opportunity, Physical Fitness? And
what about the critically needed Office of Intergovernmental Re-
lations for which Mr. Agnew is responsible, but which in 18
months has utterly failed to bring the federal government into
meaningful contact with state and local governments? What happens
to Mr. Agnew's Cabinet Committee on School Desegregation when the
Vice President hits the road? How much time has Mr. Agnow given
to these official duties as he remains a heartbeat from the
presidency, and supposedly preparing himself for that position
in the event of tragedy?"
DNC News Release
September 9, 1970
PAGE 2
O'Brien also criticised other top officials who were campaigning
with Agnew:
"If these men are not now on official leave of absence from the
government payroll until election day, I now insist that they
take such leave and draw their salaries from the Republican
party."
Washington Star
September 10, 1970
Congress
In a speech in Indianapolis, O'Brien had this to say about the
accomplishments of the Democratic Congress:
"Mr. Nixon likes to complain on prime time evening television about
the performance of the Democratic Congress. The fact is that without
I
Democratic congressional initiative, our domestic affairs would
be in a far worse state of crisis than already is the case. 11
"The Democratic Congress passed legislation to build hospitals
for our sick. But Mr. Nixon vetoed that bill."
"The Democratic Congress passed legislation to expand federal aid
to education, a vital and necessary step in holding down local
property taxes. But Mr. Nixon vetoed that bill."
"Several weeks ago I attended the signing ceremony for the new
postal reform bill-- a proposal 1 had originated and that we all
worked so hard to pass. And as ! walked into the room, I had a
sinking feeling for a moment that President Nixon was going to
veto that, too just out of habit. 11
"Fortunately, the President signed the postal bill and Democrats
in Congress were able to override two of Mr. Nixon's vetoes
funds were provided for education and hospitals. And in these
two victories is a great lesson: a Democratic Congress is ab-
solutely essential if this country is to move forward until a
Democratic President can move back into the White House in 1973."
DNC News Release
September 11, 1970
Extremism
At a rally in Chicago for Adlai Stevenson 111, O'Brien said:
Extremism (Continued)
If extreme and irresponsible statements" on the part of some "so--
called Democrats" might hurt the party in the fall elections.
Without identifying those he said were making party damaging state-
ments, O'Brien said extremists claiming to be Democrats "have the
potential to alienate voters who normally associate themselves
with the Democratic Party But they do not speak for the
party. The speak for themselves. 11
"As workers within the party, we much oppose extremism of all
kinds from those who are a vocal but tiny minority of Americans."
Washington Post
September 11, 1970
Law and Order
Addressing Cook County Democrats, O'Brien stated:
"The politics of violence," he said, "is not politics at all. We
all' lose when violence is chosen as a tactic of dissent. Law is
order, and there must be law and order. The support of law
and public order is an honorable and traditional Democratic campaign
issue that should not be evaded merely because, men like Barry
Goldwater, George Wallace, and Richard Nixon have seized upon
and distorted that issue for their own divisive purposes.'
DNC News Release

Nixon Administration
Again, in Chicago, O'Brien lashed out at the accomplishments of
the Administration.
"He has not restored domestic tranquility. He has not reduced
crime, although he made it sound like the easiest task in the
world if only we would put him in the White House and turn Congress
over to Republicans. We fear for our safety on the streets; we
fear for our children under the growing menace of drug abuse; we
fear for our property--and all the while the administration con-
tinues to ignore the tools offered by a Democratic administration
and a Democratic Congress to give state and local law enforcement
agencies the money and the expertise to really combat crime."

CAMPAIGN STATUS REPORT
Attached is the new calendar showing officer and city and/or
state to be visited. We are working closely with the campaign
managers to effect close co-ordination with the advance team
prior to arrival SO that major schedule changes will not be
necessary. Attached is a showing by state of planned visits
of the Vice President, Cabinet members, Mr. Finch, Mr. Klein,
and Senator Dole. This shows vividly our states that need
more concentration and we are encouraging our speakers to
include these in their calendars.
ADVANCE MEN
Following our Sunday meeting with possible advance men and
existing departmental advance men we feel that we are in fair
shape. We briefed them on the four major elements of these
trips and stressed the media importance. They were furnished
with a kit containing:
1. Biographies on Cabinet members and others
taking an active part.
2. Biographies on key state candidates.
3. Key state campaign managers and telephone
contacts.
4. Speech material.
5. Question and Answer Book.

FIRST FAMILY SCHEDULE
We submitted a list of possibilities to you last week. If
we hope to be effective we need concrete dates and
acceptances to proceed. Note: The September 26, Florida
Dedication for Julie and David is strongly recommended.
"SO PROUDLY WE HAIL"
The Johnny Mann show "So Proudly We Hail" has been booked
into Tennessee for the Vice President's rally and two
other events that should attract about 20,000 spectators
with excellent media coverage.
SPEAKERS BUREAU
In addition to our political scheduling, our Speakers Bureau
has put Astronaut Donn Eisele in the Steuben Day Parade.
Also, over thirty Under Secretaries and Assistant Secretaries
have been scheduled.
SPECIAL REQUESTS
We continue to receive requests from Chotiner, Dent and Colson
for Cabinet level members in non-key states as well as in
support of Congressional candidates.
HERB KLEIN
Herb Klein's schedule is firming up. The vast number of
requests have now been evaluated and we have booked in the
key state invitations. Herb had a very successful stop in
Chicago, Illinois for Senator Smith.
FUEL STOPS
Bob Finch made excellent use of his fuel stop in Oklahoma.
Warren Hendricks arranged for a full blown news briefing.
With the fuel stop problems the Vice President has been
having, you might want to indicate to Minor that fuel stops
might be made in key states.
-3-
POLLS
We have contacted the candidates or their campaign managers
and ask that they send us any polls, good or bad, that they
have.
SPEAKERS BUREAU STAFFING
As noted in last week's report Dick Howard was sent to
Madrid, but we are fortunate in that Peter Amis was available
to come in immediately and Howard was able to spend a day
with him. Amis worked in our scheduling operation at 445 Park.

(RELEASE TEXT BEGINS HERE)
In this crucial election of 1970, maybe more than any
other since the '30s, literally EVERYTHING IS UP FOR
GRABS. It's a whole new ballgame --- on issues, party
loyalties, emerging coalitions. All in all, it's an
exciting time to be around. AND IT'S FILLED WITH GOLDEN
OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR PARTY!
Consider what's been happening. Some of the longest-
run routines on the political circuit just don't seem
to SELL any more. For example, some veteran Senators
and former Governors were wiped out in the primaries,
and more of them are in deep trouble with the electorate.
They pressed the "old buttons" but the "machine" just
didn't produce. And this "COMING APART AT THE SEAMS"
syndrome is also at work in Congressional Districts
all around the country.
- 2 -
It is clear that we're well on our way into a whole
new political ERA. But the recurring catch-phrase,
THE NEW POLITICS, is always tied to only ONE END of
the political spectrum, the liberal fringe --- and
nothing could be more misleading or wider of the mark.
What is NEW about this emerging political era ----
call it, if you will, the REAL politics --- goes far
beyond the so-called peace issue. It is NOT the
exclusive property of the beards-and-barefoot crowd
--- just as, turning the coin over, the young are as
DIVERSE a generation as any other. Many of those
New York "hard hats" were the same age as the "peaceniks"
they attacked. Among 21-to-29 year olds, HAWKS
outnumber DOVES in about the same proportion as any
other age group.
The REAL politics is NOT a single-issue bag. It
expresses a new attitude and thrust --- a new set of
EXPECTATIONS and DEMANDS that are being imposed on
the political process.

ROCKS AND BOMBS AS LEGITIMATE POLITICAL CURRENCY
---
ALL these are manifestations of what I'm calling the
REAL politics.
The OLD MYTHS are being questioned. SACRED COWS are
being de-sanctified. And ALL of our major social
institutions are on trial.
The REAL POLITICS is demanding that the process respond
to NEW and CHANGING needs and to some that didn't
even EXIST just a decade or a generation ago.
Against this canvas in this context President
Nixon took over the reins last year. His election
was the beginning
---
but ONLY the beginning of what
HAD to be a new era in America. For the first time
in more than a century, an incoming President was
saddled with an opposition-controlled Congress
what has turned out to be an OBSTRUCTIONIST Congress.
- 4 -
And so the great victory of 1968 is not yet complete.
Our ENTIRE TEAM is not yet on the field. And the
President's RESPONSE to the demands of the REAL POLITICS
his overall STRATEGY of REFORM, RENEWAL, AND
RESTORATION
is still really a beachhead!
THAT is our challenge
OUR REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY
THIS CRITICAL ELECTION YEAR ---- to turn that BEACHHEAD
into a FULL-SCALE OCCUPATION!
And consider the distance we have traveled so far,
even against odds. The Nixon Administration inherited
a seemingly endless war that was tearing our social
fabric apart --- with neither PEACE nor VICTORY anywhere
in sight.
We inherited a shambles of BILLION DOLLAR BOONDOGGLES ---
hundreds of chaotic and overlapping domestic programs
that had literally been HURLED into the statute books
...
without any rational game-plan. (In HEW alone there
were 300-plus categorical programs to administer ---
most of them not working up to promise --- but we were
able at least to UNPAD the payroll, from nearly 120,000
down to 106,000, EVEN AS OUR BUDGET WENT FROM 52 UP TO
64 BILLIONS!)
- 5 --
We inherited a roaring INFLATION that for seven years
running had been fired up with budget deficits
amounting to 57 billions of dollars. In flscal '68,
there was a deficit of 25 billions IN THAT ONE YEAR
ALONE!
Today
not two years downstream
the situation
has literally been turned around. We are on the very
threshold of a NEW ERA OF PEACE
AN ERA OF FUNDAMENTAL
SOCIAL REFORM.
With our ENTIRE team on the field ---
with men in the
Congress like VIC VEYSEY ----- we CAN CROSS that threshold
AND WE WILL!
Candidate Nixon pledged to the American people an end
to the Vietnam war
to this draining away of American
lives and resources. He promised PEACE WITH HONOR.
He promised to live up to our solemn commitments -----
AND AS PRESIDENT HE HAS KEPT THESE PROMISES!
- 6 -
The longest, most costly war in all our history IS
BEING WOUND DOWN
IRREVERSIBLY. The process of
U.S. COMBAT disengagement is in full swing. Vietnamization
is WORKING --- in line with the thrust of the NIXON
DOCTRINE that free people should be assisted to defend
THEIR OWN FREEDOM. We will NOT be policemen to the
world, but NEVER will we retreat to the dream-world
of a "fortress America".
American casualties are down by 60 per cent
...
direct
war costs by 50 per cent
...
and draft calls by
45 per cent. And by the spring of next year, 265,000
U.S. servicemen will be home or on their way ---
nearly HALF the forces committed to Vietnam as of
January 1969.
The Cambodian operation bought us AT LEAST A YEAR'S
ADDITIONAL TIME, and it SAVED AMERICAN LIVES --- JUST
AS THE PRESIDENT PROMISED IT WOULD. He said we
would be in-and-out within 60 days
-----
AND HE KEPT
THAT PROMISE TOO!
- 7 -
We do not question anyone's patriotism or right to
dissent. We need criticism. We need debate. Indeed,
that is the way a sound national consensus is forged.
But this Nation's foreign policy WILL NOT BE MADE IN
THE STREETS! Our national security is not subject to
barter under the threat of NON-NEGOTIABLE DEMANDS
or at the business end of a Molotov Cocktail. President
Nixon has said he will take CALCULATED RISKS for peace
but never FOOLISH ones --- AND THAT IS ONE MORE PROMISE
HE MEANS TO KEEP!
With the support of Congressmen like Vic Veysey ----
HE WILL GET THE BACKING HE MUST HAVE
THAT THE
NATION MUST HAVE.
We have a real chance
the best chance since World
War II
to enjoy a generation of uninterrupted
peace. Indeed, the transition has begun --- from the
SCARCITY OF WARTIME to the ABUNDANCE OF PEACE. In
the current Federal Budget, for the first time in two
decades, defense outlays are SURPASSED by human
resource investments --- by a margin of 41 per cent
to 37 per cent.
- 8 -
Speaking to you frankly
the transition has had
its bumps and potholes. Unemployment is too high.
Interest rates are too steep --- and, in some regions
and States, the squeeze has been painful.
But now comes the payoff. The fires of inflation HAVE
BEEN BANKED. Interest rates have begun TO GO DOWN.
And the leading economic indicators --- housing starts,
productivity, take-home income ---- ALL OF THEM ARE
GOING UP AGAIN. We're on our way, by this time next
year, to an all-time FIRST - a TRILLION DOLLAR gross
national product!
And so the agenda of peace and fundamental social
reform stretches out before us. It will be THE PEOPLE'S
AGENDA --- for black citizens and brown and white,
for the blue-collar worker and the suburbanite, for
young and old, for every group BAR NONE in this free
society.
- 9 -
On that agenda, the President has already inscribed
more than half a hundred exciting reform proposals
--- reaching beyond the discredited OLD POLITICS OF
SCARCITY to the REAL POLITICS OF CHOICE
beyond
mere QUANTITY to the very essence of THE QUALITY OF
HUMAN LIFE.
But most of these proposals gather dust in Congressional
pigeonholes. Some of them have not even been given
a public HEARING --- and this, in the last analysis,
is THE ISSUE of the campaign this year
TO GET THE
PRESIDENT'S ENTIRE TEAM ON THE FIELD, IN SUPPORT OF
HIS PEACETIME REFORM AGENDA.
In just a handful of major areas, there HAS been
solid accomplishment, and Congress shares in the
credit. Tax reform
postal reform
...
improvement
of our Unemployment Insurance systems --- all these
are on the plus side of the ledger.
- 10 -
And in another area of particular personal concern
we put it in motion during my stewardship at HEW
---
we are on the very edge of success. And that is
the complete OVERHAUL of our BANKRUPT AND DISCREDITED
WELFARE SYSTEMS. The basic purpose of our Family
Assistance Plan, so-called, is to shift from handouts
to an INCOME STRATEGY
from WELFARE to WORKFARE.
We start with work incentives and job training.
NATIONAL MINIMUM INCOME SUPPLEMENTS would wipe out
the glaring inequities of our present welfare systems
and spell the end of welfare AS A WAY OF LIFE!
Under the Family Assistance Plan, it ALWAYS would pay
more to WORK than to REMAIN ON WELFARE.
These reform proposals are still hung up in the
Senate Finance Committee. The prospects are a bit
better than 50-50 for final action during THIS session
of Congress --- and, in literal truth, we cannot AFFORD
to let this historic opportunity slip away from us.
- 11 -
But on the debit side of the ledger, the list is long
and the Nation's patience has about run out. With
respect to draft reform, social security reform, and
the overhaul of our system of Federal grants toward
greater flexibility and consolidation --- ALL ACROSS
THE BOARD, THE JOB IS BARELY BEGUN.
With respect to Revenue Sharing, moreover, to put
real fiscal muscle into the revival of a Federal-
State partnership
---
NO ACTION, NOT so MUCH AS A
PUBLIC HEARING, IN EITHER THE HOUSE OR THE SENATE.
Electoral reform --- NO FINAL ACTION. Foreign trade
reform --- NO FINAL ACTION. Urban Mass Transit ---
NO FINAL ACTION. Housing and Urban Development ---
NO FINAL ACTION. Indeed, three months into this
fiscal year, only 4 of 15 major appropriation bills
have been enacted --- AND THIS IS NO WAY TO RUN A
RESPONSIVE AND RESPONSIBLE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH.
- 12 -
No wonder, when the Harris Survey asked in March of
this year --- "how would you rate the job Congress has
been doing?" -- that only 34 per cent of the American
people gave it a PASSING GRADE!
Again, so far as this Congress is concerned, the WAR
ON CRIME is only a skirmish. And, beyond any question,
the real issue of crime is FREEDOM --- the freedom
of every decent citizen to live with a sense of security,
and to walk the streets FREE FROM FEAR.
In this area, the President has proposed more than a
dozen initiatives, TOUGH AND FAIR. His crime package
would combat the organized rackets; reduce the flood
of pornography, particularly as it affects the young;
crack down on the drug traffic; improve our courts
and penal systems; and give desperately-needed assistance
to our State and local lawmen.
- 13 -
By executive action alone, the rate of increase of
serious crime HAS been reduced
and substantially
SO. But legislative action is urgently needed. More
than a dozen Presidential initiatives to fight crime
AND CONGRESS HAS SEEN FIT TO ENACT ONLY ONE OF
THEM. Let THAT record be abundantly clear!
I will merely touch on two further areas of concern
--- both of them areas in which Vic Veysey's leadership
and innovative thrust have been so magnificent during
his years in the California State Assembly. You're
absolutely right ----- you DO need Vic right here. BUT
WE NEED HIM MORE IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL!
I'm referring, of course, to EDUCATIONAL REFORM and
to the strategy of ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION.
In the educational area we have fallen PARTICULAR captive
to the "Washington Syndrome" --- the simplistic notion
that if only the resources available for education
were increased, the amount our children learn would
increase at the same rate.
- 14 -
Well, it just doesn't work this way ---- as Vic SO
well understands. HEW's recent Title I Report confirms
it. And what we're beginning to recognize is that
our understanding of the PROCESS OF EDUCATION is
faulty and weak. Every time we invest another billion
in compensatory programs, we raise FRESH HOPES ---
and we risk BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT. This is BAD GOVERNMENT
BAD POLITICS
AND BAD EDUCATION!
This Administration begins by reaffirming the predominant
State and local role in the schooling of the young.
We have chosen to target our own dollars to FUNDAMENTAL
RESEARCH
the first step toward REFORM. High on
our priority list is HEW's new Office of Child Development,
to focus on the early learning process ---- the critical
first five years. It is during this period that we
either put the foundations in place
or resign
ourselves to playing CATCH UP BALL.
- 15 -
The President has proposed an Emergency School Aid
fund to smooth out the desegregation process
and
a National Institute of Education to spearhead basic
research and experimentation. How has Congress responded?
The Institute concept has been COMPLETELY BURIED, and
our initial Emergency Aid request was CUT IN HALF.
In February of this year, the President recorded another
FIRST --- the first COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY
in the Nation's history. Beyond reforming the institutions
of the past, crucial as that is, our great opportunity
is TO CREATE THE CONDITIONS OF THE FUTURE.
We can continue to debase the human environment in
which we live --- and our human society along with
it --- OR we can come to terms with nature, make
amends for the past, and build the basis for a future
of BALANCED growth.
We will have growth for its own sake, at a terrible
cost, OR we can have abundance WITH QUALITY. It's up
to us. It's our choice.
- 16 -
The President has MADE HIS choice. He has established
a Commission on Population Growth and the American
Future --- to guide, not to lay down the law. A new
Environmental Protection Agency will consolidate and
rationalize the role of the Federal Government, across
the entire ecological continuum. The toughest Air
Quality legislation ever proposed is close to enactment.
But a parallel proposal to control water pollution is
still stuck in Congress ---- NO FINAL ACTION IN SIGHT.
Well, NATURE won't wait. To defer and delay in the
environmental area is, literally, to court disaster.
*

I began by describing the dimensions of THE REAL
POLITICS
---
a new era of SELF-criticism
SELF-
examination
SELF-correction. There are amends to
make and promises to keep that will engage our energies
for years to come. But, most of all, THERE IS A GREAT
ADVENTURE TO BE LIVED FOR ALL OF US.
- 17 -
And the surpassing question is, WHO WILL LEAD THE
NATION INTO THIS NEW ERA? What group or Party? Who
has the daring, the courage, and the vaulting imagination?
THERE, as I see it, is the opportunity before us ---
the REPUBLICAN opportunity for an entire ERA of
NATIONAL LEADERSHIP!
If we can seize upon it --- turn creative initiatives
into a record of performance ---- if we can capture
the mantle of COMPASSIONATE PRAGMATISM, across all
boundaries of region or race or class or age, then we
will indeed BUILD A NEW REPUBLICAN MAJORITY OVER THE
FACE OF THIS NATION.
THAT kind of Republicanism will address the urgent
concerns of every American for the GOOD QUALITY of
our social fabric.
THAT is the NATIONAL MAJORITY that will make our Party
into the dominant political force for the decade of
the '70s AND INDEED FOR THE FINAL THIRD OF THIS CENTURY.
- 18 -
We will become the MAJORITY PARTY ------ AND WE WILL
DESERVE TO BE!
It seems to me that there is a CHEMISTRY OF COMMITMENT
in this room today. I think I almost sense THE SWEET
SMELL OF VICTORY in the air. And I know that all of
you are ready to lay your commitment on the line
---
WITH ENDLESS LABOR
and DEDICATION TO PARTY.
In the last analysis, these are the ingredients of
the dedication that brings us together to the
IDEAL of politics
to the political process itself
AS A WAY OF LIFE.
Never has this ideal been more eloquently expressed
than by Ray Moley, who has counseled SO many of us
through the years. I want to leave you with these
words of his:
- 19 -
Politics teems with the elements of high
adventure. In politics we come to grips
with all that is challenging in human life
its endless changes and its dizzying
heights.
Certainly it is not something to avoid or
abolish or destroy. It is like the atmosphere
we breathe. It is something to live with
to influence if we wish
to control if we
can. We must master its ways, or we shall be
mastered by those who do.
Thank you all for what you have done
what you
ALWAYS have done
AND WHAT YOU WILL DO TO INSURE
VICTORY THIS NOVEMBER!

MEMORANDUM FOR KEVIN PHILLIPS
FROM :
LARRY HIGBY be
The attached is a draft questionnaire that covers basically
the type of questions we would use in doing polling for this
fall's campaign - particularly in the seven key states. Any
comments you would make would be very much appreciated.
Needless to say, if this interview was done by telephone -
and it probably would be - the number of questions would
have to be cut down to approximately 10 questions.
Thank you for your assistance.
