HALDEMAN FROM: GORDON STRACHAN You apparently talked to Colson about Charlie McWhorter. However, McWhorter continues to call trying to reach you.

HALDEMAN FROM: GORDON STRACHAN G SUBJECT: Charlie McWhorter/ March 11 Telephone Call Charlie McWhorter called on Saturday, March 11 to discuss Senator Dole's attack on ATT/DNC Convention. I talked with McWhorter at length about his specific complaints. To say that McWhorter was "upset" would be an under statement. He wanted to talk with you directly in spite of the fact that he and I talk weekly. McWhorter believes that: 1) Colson, as a member of your staff, engineered an "irresponsible attack" based on very poor staff work; 2) The arrogance and stupidity of the White House Staff could cost the President this election; 3) The Republicans are vulnerable on the debt question and everything was being handled quietly with Milbank and Stans; 4) The White House Staff needs people who will raise policy questions without being considered disloyal. McWhorter did not relax his attack on Colson and the Dole attack during the 15 minute conversation. He feels he should talk to you directly. I told him I would explain his views to you. 2/3 Mrs. Romney H. - Pal caucus Mr Pt Mrs. n. received next; whe response heague of women's Voters - in mich +some other Sts -objective H - many sts they work usover whe WH behind H.- not competent to Quention moRTSM / it GK AG ?2 ne Mrs R-Martha knows nothing about it H - not something w H involvedu/ Mrs. Rommey itak (said check t out) It will advise Pt others of mis.

HALDEMAN FROM: GORDON STRACHAN Barbara Franklin is seeking advice on the attached. She is planning on forcing her attendance to get a Republican view at the Women's Political Caucus. THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON January 31, 1972 MEMORANDUM FOR: H.R. HALDEMAN FROM: CHARLES COLSON wa SUBJECT: National Women's Political Caucus You might find the attached amusing, if not sad. It is, in any event, interesting. If I understand it correctly, the National Women's Political Caucus has been militant and anti-establishment and, on occasion, anti-Nixon -- some say all occasions. It is un- believable the composition of the Friends of the Benefit. Shouldn't we get the word out to the Administration that they ought to ignore this outfit? Or certainly not get involved with them. For passing interest, it is probably the last time that anyone will ever see Ashbrook and McCloskey joined in the same cause or Butz and Humphrey together or Lenore Romney and Gladys O'Donnell. All I can say looking at this is WOW! Ao why aren't we on top of now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their country's women THE NATIONAL WOMEN'S POLITICAL CAUCUS calls on you to attend A CHAMPAGNE BENEFIT Thursday, February 3, 1972 the Shoreham Hotel, the Regency Room 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM 7:10: A "Right-On" Program featuring Art Buchwald, emcee Gloria Steinem Carole Ann Taylor accompanied by $25.00 per person to Bobby Banks be used for National Helen Bentley Headquarter's expenses - Hon.

HALDEMAN FROM: GORDON STRACHAN SUBJECT: Finch Telephone Call - October 7 On October 7 Bob Finch called you to ask about the status of a mailing -- presumably in California because Finch wanted to inform Firestone. A talking paper you used with the Attorney General indicated that "(t)he President does want to move ahead on the California mailing as soon as possible. A copy of this talking paper is attached. You indicated to Bob Finch that you would "get to the Attorney General" and get an answer. The question is whether you reached the Attorney General, settled the question about the mailing, and informed Finch.
