Colson's warnings about the decrease
in Dole's effectiveness is another
symtom of the illness at the RNC.
Other symtoms that you have
considered separately are:
1) The $2 million RNC budget deficit;
2) The Tom Evans "ego-maniac"
problem and resulting complete
lack of communication between Dole
and Evans; and
3) The fund raising dispute between
the RNFC and the Committee for the
Re-Election of the President.
Recommendation: You and the Attorney
General should have a "political
meeting" soon to review the entire
RNC/Dole role in the Campaign.
Talking PAper will be prepared.

we
FROM:
CHARLES W. COLSON
SUBJECT:
Senator Dole
I just had a very distressing call from Lyn Nofziger which
underscores a terribly serious problem. I have run out of
gas in trying to solve it.
Bob Dole is really in a tailspin. After my meeting with him
Wednesday he agreed to have a press conference Thursday
morning and to go after the Democrat "partisan obstructionists".
He then revised his plan to issue a statement instead which
Lyn drafted for him and had in his office by 10:30 Thursday
morning. Lyn was also to arrange TV interviews.
Dole simply refused to do it and refused to give Nofziger any
reasons.
We have been trying desperately through Al Snyder to program
Dole onto a TV show-- our reasoning is that anything that begins
to get him back out front will be helpful. None of the networks
evidenced any interest in him and understandably SO. He simply
hasn't been making any news and he's therefore not newsworthy
to put on any TV talk shows. Al pulled a couple of chits of long
standing with the Today Show and got time for Dole to appear
next Tuesday morning. Dole has now declined, however, on the
grounds that he has to be in Witchita, Kansas, Monday night.
Nofziger tells me that he has nothing scheduled; it's a meeting
with some local party types. It was the only time we could get the
Today Show in the next 3 weeks. Hence we have lost that forum.
Nofziger is genuinely depressed over it, says he hasn't been able
to get through to Dole over the phone and agrees with me that Dole
is really in a state of deep depression. I had the strong feeling that
Page 2
I was getting through to him on Wednesday but it is evident that I
failed completely.
I am really worried about this because if the situation continues we
simply do not have the partisan spokesmen that we desperately need.
This memo is written in some frustration because I don't know
the solution. I do know there is a serious problem. Maybe Dole
doesn't feel he has the staff at the Committee to help him or at
least that's the excuse he uses. But he is also unwilling to do
anything about it. Nofziger claims that something has, in fact,
"happened" to Dole.
I really don't know what to suggest other than perhaps a meeting
between you and Bob, or you Bob, Nofziger and myself, or perhaps
the President has simply got to have a heart-to-heart talk with Dole.
I am only certain of one thing and that is that we have to correct
the current situation which is deteriorating very rapidly.

SUBJECT:
RNC/Senator Dole
I just had a one hour session with Bob Dole to try to crank him up
to do a better job of defending the President and hitting back at the
Democrats. Dole didn't disagree with any of my points but he is a
very different man than he was a few months ago.
1. He is having some serious internal problems with Tom Evans.
I assume you are aware of this.
2. He feels the staff at the RNC is incompetent and Nofziger is not
doing the job he wants done but he, Dole, doesn't feel he can
shake things up.
3. He made the point that we are not giving him enough support,
speeches, material, etc., a point he said he made with the
President. To the extent that we have not done this, it will be
instantly remedied, but I pointed out to Bob that he has the whole
National Committee apparatus and that he shouldn't be leaning on
us and more importantly shouldn't be taking such minor complaints
to the President. I also pointed out that Nofziger had specifically
asked us not to send speeches for Dole, Nofziger wanted to write
them. Dole's answer was that Nofziger hasn't been writing any
good speeches lately.
4. He is obsessed with our lack of support in the farm area and really
acts generally demoralized.
5. He fully recognizes that he has made virtually no news for the past
two months but I think he honestly doesn't know what to do. I
suggested a press conference attacking the Democratic partisan
obstructionists for openers. He may do this tomorrow, but he again
complained that he had no staff help to get ready for a press confer-
ence. I honestly believe his own self-confidence has been eroded
for some reason.
2.
We are going to start pumping him up directly with some stuff from
here. He seems to welcome the idea. You will get loud screams from
Nofziger but we have got to try something to get Dole back out front and
also to build up his own self-confidence. The two, I suspect, go hand in
hand.

added that he believes that if Brooke were 0.11 the ticket

McCloskey disputed Muskie's view on a black VP saying
"race shouldn't matter. 11 McCloskey issuing a mail call

says a Miami Herald report
Theo Lippman writes
in the Balt. Sun that RN would be the logical person to
try a black VP Brooke it "might be just what it
takes to rescue RN. 11
Riesel says there are many who believe that RN can't
win without Rockefeller as his VP, since Rocky can
soothe Meany. And the push is on in and out of the WH
to elbow VP Agnew out in favor of the NY Gov. who is
"closer to RN now than virtually all other politicos. "
Knight's Saul Kohler relates Harry Dent's view that the
VP was "characteristically aloof and unusually non-
abrasive" at the Gov's Conference and according to
Harry Dent, he has taken a giant step toward retaining
his spot on the '72 ticket with his resumption of the
inter-governmental portfolio. Dent emphasized, as do
other WH staffers, that the VP is not "on trial. He said
that he has never heard RN "knock" the VP but has always
encouraged staffers to help the VP any way they can.
But Marianne Means feels there may be more truth than
humor in the VP's references to Connally. His "political
vulnerability is no laughing matter. 11 The VP's good-
will mission to the Govs conference should have won
the Admin many points but the mission was not a "huge
success. 11 As some Govs charge the VP was manipulating
them for his benefit. Despite staff efforts to deny this,
the slurs against the VP were widely believed; as was
the view that the VP is so shaky in his position that
being an errand boy for the Govs was a big deal.

SUBJECT:
Bob Stafford
I have spoken to Bob Stafford explaining to him that through my contacts
(which he knows are real) we are fairly convinced that we have locked in
the Governor to appoint Stafford to the Senate. I think Bob was going to
get it anyway, but he appreciates our efforts.
Predictably he raised the question about money. I assume that the
Senate Campaign Committee will put in a significant amount. The real
question is whether we want to try to help directly or indirectly. There
would be advantages in doing SO. Bob is a different kind of person than
Prouty; hopefully he would not forget us if we did help.
For your information the petitions for the office have to be filed by
October 6. The primary will be November 16 and the general election
January 4. These are tentative dates to be firmed up by the Governor
when he announces this next week.
There are two candidates for the House seat on the Republican side.
Dick Mallory who is relatively conservative and John Alden, who is
relatively liberal; Mallory will probably win.
Stafford is pretty much a sure thing for election. The House seat could
be a problem.
The Republicans, vastly better organized, will benefit from this being
a special election.
The real reason that we should take a significant interest (in addition
to getting credit from Stafford) is that the election could well become a
réferendum on the President and it will be the first political straw in
the wind for 1972. A strong Republican showing would be a good
psychological lift nationally; a close race in Republican Vermont or,
perish the thought, a defeat could be very harmful.
Obviously we should help - but it must be
unders tool Hat we do not have not kinds trallocate to
campaigns. that was in '70 - it now. Soallweca for
do is to encourage donors to support him.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
H. R. HALDEMAN
FROM:
GORDON STRACHAN
SUBJECT:
Citizens for the Reelection of the
President
Magruder has authority from the Attorney General to establish
the Task Forces.
Magruder needs three project managers. Odle is one because
Magruder has confidence in him, and Colson did not want Odle
on his staff in the Klein/Colson shift.
Bob Mark, a Malek recruit from the Office of Education is a
possible second project manager. He would work on computers,
polling, research and Democratic Contenders.
Recruitment of Bart Porter as the third project manager has
resulted in complications. Porter approached Magruder one
month ago when the Colson/Klein shifts were in process. Porter
indicated his dissatisfaction with the scheduling job. He expressed
an interest in working for Magruder in the developing campaign
structure. Magruder told Porter that he should wait until April 1
when things would be more definite.
As further background, Porter took a series of substantial salary
cuts when he joined the White House Staff from $35,000 p.a. in
business, to $27,000 when Malek tolked to him, to $25,000 when
Walker talked to him, to $23,000 when he eventually began work
with Magruder. The understanding between these four people
during these salary readjustments was that Porter would receive
a review based on his performance during the first six months
(November 1970 - April 1971).
On April 5 Power talked to Magruder about a Deltion with the
campaign staff. They discussed the position and phosible salary,
but Magruder asked that Porter's departure be cleared with Colson.
Magruder called Colson Monday to advise that he wanted Porter for
the campaign. Colson asked that the decision be held up until the
reorganization was worked out. Porter saw Colson that afternoon
and discussed the campaign staff job, advising Colson that he had
been offered it and had been offered a $5,000 raise. Colson said
he wouldn't stand in his way but asked him to train a replacement.
Magruder also checked with Colson and said that he would not "steal"
Porter but if acceptable with Colson, would like Porter "as soon as
possible". Bill Rhatican has been in a quandary about his job as a
result of the Colson/Klein shift, but has not raised a job change with
anyone. Magruder plans to use him as a part time project manager
on the Advertising Task Force. Coison doesn't think Rhatican should
be shifted at this time.
This fact situation raises a basis question. LBJ's campaign in 1964
and HHH's in 1968 were run out of the White House and EOB respec-
tively by men "detailed" from departments to the White House Staff.
John Dean reports that historically departments have "detail" men to
the White House for a campaign.
Today Dean submitted a memorandum to Magruder (copy attached)
which urges that no formal task force structure be established but
that the product be developed by having project managers check with
the task force members individually.
Jchn Brown began eliminating "detail" men. Huntsman is pushing
this goal hard; the Walker advance operation may be taken off
"detail" and put on the White House Staff.
As you know Magruder will be starting full time with the campaign
on Monday, April 17. He would like to talk with you about his
departure at your convenience. This evening, before the speech
might be an excellent time to talk with him.
Dan Rather and a camera crew camped outside the offices at 1701
today and received a "no comment" from Harry Flemming.

FINANCIAL PROGRAM
FOR 1972 CAMPAIGN
Finance Committee for the Election
of President Nixon
BASIC CONCEPT
This program calls for the full separation of the campaign
activities for 1972 from the financial activities of fund-raising and
disbursing, effective October 1, 1971.
After that date, all campaign activities will be conducted
by the Committee for the Re-election of the President and its
affiliated Committees; all fund-raising and disbursing will be
conducted by the Finance Committee for the Re-election of President
Nixon and such other independent finance committees as may come
into being.
These procedures will continue until after the convention in
August, 1972. It is assumed that after that date (1) the campaign
activities will probably be carried on by a new committee in
coordination with the Republican National Committee and (2) the
finance activities will be undertaken by one or more new finance
committees operating in cooperation with the Republican National
Finance Committee and its affiliated committees.
Committee for the Re-election of the President
Policies on Campaign Finances
1. The campaign shall be conducted at all times under a budget
approved by a Budget Committee, of which the Campaign Chairman
and such other persons as he names shall comprise half of the
members, and the Finance Chairman and such other persons as
he names shall comprise the other half.
2. Each unit and each individual of the campaign organization shall
be expected to operate within the assigned budgetary limits for the
respective periods.
3. Additional expenditures in excess of budgeted amounts shall not
be made without advance approval, in the form of budget amendments
authorized by the Campaign Chairman and the Finance Chairman.
4. The Committee shall conduct no fund-raising activities, other
than the sale of campaign materials.
5. All funds received by the Committee from any source, including
the sale of campaign materials, shall be turned over intact to the
Finance Committee, immediately upon receipt, with a record of
the source.
6. The Committee will be provided with a petty cash fund for
the payment of small items of expense, under procedures established
by the Finance Committee. The Committee shall account promptly
and accurately for all funds so disbursed.
7. The Committee will approve bills for payment by the Finance
Committee, and will provide promptly all necessary data on
personnel for payroll purposes, all within budgeted limits.
8. The Committee will assist the Finance Committee, to the extent
practicable, in providing speakers and other assistance needed for
fund-raising purposes.
9. The Committee will undertake to see that any Citizens Committee
or other campaign committee organized to secure the nomination
or election of the President will adhere to these practices.
Finance Committee for the Re-election
of President Nixon
1. The Committee is expected (1) to raise funds adequate to finance
the national campaign to secure the Republican nomination for
Richard Nixon at the 1972 convention, including the convention
expenses, and (2) to organize the finance activities of successor
finance committees for the general election campaign thereafter.
2. The Committee's operations shall be independent of the fund-
raising operations of the Republican National Finance Committee,
except that they will coordinate their activities to avoid friction
and insure the most total funds
*
3. The Committee shall create or encourage the creation of such
other finance committees as it shall deem necessary and shall
exercise surveillance and coordination over the work of such
committees.
4. The Committee, in collaboration with the Campaign Committee,
*Footnote: The RNFC and its affiliated committees are expected to
raise funds adequate to finance present debts of the Republican National
Committee and the approved operations of that Committee to the end of
1972. Any funds raised in excess of those needs are expected to be
available for authorized campaign committees in the general election.
will prepare monthly budgets for the campaign period, for approval
of a Budget Committee whose members shall be named equally by
the Campaign Chairman and the Finance Chairman; and will prepare
such budget amendments as are authorized by the Budget Committee.
5. The Committee will provide the Campaign Committee with
adequate petty cash funds for the payment of small bills, and shall
specify the procedures for such payments.
6. The Committee shall develop and operate under an organized
fund-raising plan which shall detail in advance all activities and
events deemed necessary to raise the required amounts, and shall
keep the Campaign Committee informed of such activities and events.
Specific individuals shall be made responsible for each such activity
or event.
7. The Committee shall engage the services of a firm of certified
public accountants to direct and supervise accounting policy, controls
and reporting.
8. The Committee shall employ professional assistance in the handling
of all direct mail solicitation.
9. The Committee shall to the extent possible coordinate its
activities and events with the Republican Congressional Campaign
Committee and the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee.

FROM:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
As we discussed when we were originally asked to submit a very
tentative budget for the campaign, all the potential campaign
divisions were surveyed to determine what the needs of each
would be between October 1 of this year and December 31 of next
year. The total came to approximately $37,000,000. Therefore,
in line with your request that we keep this initial budget to
$25,000,000, we began to cut as much as possible from most of the
various activities, and ended up with a $23,000,000 budget which
does not include Finance since you are separately submitting a
Finance budget.
This $23,000,000 budget is extremely tight, particularly in cate-
gories such as advertising, direct mail, field operations, and
"citizens".

Vice President Fund Raising
Letter for Congressional
Committee
The Vice President's office (Art Sohmer) called to ask
whether or not the President would object to the Vice
President signing a fund raising letter for the Congressional
Committee submitted by Gerald Ford.
Harry Dent believes that the Vice President should sign
this letter for two reasons. First, the Vice President
has signed similar letters in the past, so Gerald Ford
and the Congressional Committee would not understand if
he refused this time. Second, "it would be no skin off
our nose" if the Vice President signed. The letter would
have no effect on the fund raising efforts for the
President's 1972 Campaign.
However, Dent believes that the draft submitted to the Vice
President by Ford is too negative and smacks of hucksterism.
The letter should be redrafted to assure no degradation
of the dignity of the Vice President.
Recommendation:
That the Vice President sign the Congressional Committee
fund raising letter upon redrafting.

Dear Mr. Vice President:
Earlier in the year when I wrote to you with a request that you
sign a fund raising letter for the Congressional Committee, you
indicated that you might be willing to do so later in the year.
The Congressional Committee is now doing everything possible to
raise its budget for the last quarter of the year, which, among
other things, will insure the continuing incumbent support pro-
grams which the Committee funds. Fund raising, particularly by
the Committee's direct mail programs, has been difficult this year,
but Bob Wilson and I feel strongly that a letter signed by you and
mailed to a good list of Republican friends might very well turn
the trick and produce the needed income.
I enclose a draft letter for your consideration, and I would be
personally very appreciative if you can sign it for the Committee's
use.
Warm personal regards.

Dear Fellow Republican:
I'm hearing far too much talk these days against President Nixon's Adminis-
tration. I don't mean complaints from the radical Left. We expect that.
I'm referring to gripes from good Republicans.
I know that no Administration is perfect. But let's be sensible. Let's
not forget the key point: no Administration is much better than the Congr.
it has to work with. Right now, President Nixon is up against an overwhelt
ingly Democrat Congress.
Electing a Republican ticket in 1972 is only half the job we face. The
entire House of Representatives comes up for election. If President Nixon
wins (and I for one am going to work my heart out to see that he does),
then we mustn't saddle him with a Democrat House that far too often delays,
emasculates or road-blocks the President's constructive legislative progre
I personally think that we'd be hearing far less criticism from good Repub-
licans if Dick Nixon had a Congress that would work with him, not against
him.
In the House, about 40 seats can make the difference. Bob Wilson and my
other friends at the Republican Congressional Committee tell me that we
have a chance -- if we can get enough early seed money. You can't get a
good man to take on the job of unseating a Democrat unless you can give him
professional campaign help -- along with the funds he must have to break
through in the media.
That is why I am writing to you today. I probably won't write a more im-
portant letter this year. I've seen how the Republican Congressional Com-
mittee can make the difference in a campaign -- for a conspicuous example,
the special election that brought Barry Goldwater to Congress.
If you will send your check to the Committee today (an envelope is enclosed,
you can be sure your money will count for our country next fall. And
please -- won't you make out the check for as much as you can spare? Thank
you.
Yours in friendship,
P.S. The Committee people tell me that if you send $25, you'll receive
the Republican Congressional Newsletter every week for a full year. I
recommend this. It is valuable reading, especially in an election year.

September 14, 1971
Honorable Clifford M. Hardin
Secretary of Agriculture
Washington, D. C. 20250
Dear Mr. Secretary:
I have conversed with our Louisiana Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, Mr. Dave Pearce, and several Louisiana milk producers
who outline an unbelievable exploitation situation at the
hands of their dairy cooperative called Dairymen, Inc., which
has recently merged with AMPI and Mid-America.
Not only did these milk producers, who were formerly members
of the Gulf Milk Association, not have any voice or vote in
the merger, but they now find that their cooperative check
off from their paycheck goes as high as 10% of their earnings.
Considering that
11
arge check off deductions are not with
the approval of the dairy farmers, it would definitely seem
that some action is necessary regarding cooperatives if we are
to keep the cooperatives helping the farmers rather than being
used as a power base to whip the farmers in line for political
and educational contributions to which the farmers do not agree.
I would greatly appreciate knowing what action the Department
is taking or contemplates taking with regard to keeping some
reasonable degree of control over these large cooperatives.
If nothing more, it would appear that legislation to limit the
percentage of the farmers check off is advisable.
Very truly yours,
John R. Rarick

Antitrust Exemption for
Milk Producers Cooperative
Attached is the information you requested regarding the antitrust
exemption for the milk producers and the current activities within
the Department of Justice regarding the Association of Milk
Producers, Inc.
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
October 5, 1971
MEMORANDUM FOR:
JOHN DEAN
FROM:
DAVID WILSON Dsw
SUBJECT:
Antitrust Exemption for Agricultural
Cooperatives
Reference is made to your inquiry about the exemption from the
antitrust laws for milk producers. These producers fall under
the specific provisions applicable to agricultural cooperatives in
the Capper - Volstead Act (7 USC 291-292) and Section 6 of the
Clayton Act (15 USC 17). Basically, these statutes permit individual
farmers and dairymen to join together in cooperatives for the purpose
of marketing their products without violating the antitrust laws.
However, such cooperatives are not rendered totally immune from
the provisions of the antitrust laws by virtue of these statutes. In effect,
each cooperative is treated the same as if it were a single corporation.
When it engages in actions which would violate the antitrust laws if
it were a corporation, the cooperative is also subject to prosecution
under these laws. Numerous cases have held the exemptions to be in-
applicable when there have been charges of boycott, predatory refusal
to deal, blacklisting, unfair pricing policies, picketing, acts of
violence and similar predatory conduct.
The Antitrust Division currently is engaged in several investigations
involving agricultural cooperatives. One concerns Dairymen, Inc.,
a milk producers cooperative in Georgia, while another involves the
Association of Milk Producers, Inc., an extremely large cooperative
based in Chicago. It was the convention of this association that the
President addressed in Chicago on September 3. Both of these
investigations involve alleged practices, which if proven, are felt
by the Antitrust Division to clearly fall outside the umbrella of pro-
tection afforded by the exemptions.
If you wish a more detailed discussion of any aspect of this subject,
please let me know.

Since my memorandum to you of September 23 regarding Peter Dailey
as a candidate for the position of Director of Advertising, we
have interviewed a second individual, Richard T. O'Reilly who, in
the opinion of those who have talked to him, appears to be a very
strong candidate for this position. Dick is also extremely inter-
ested in this position and could come to Washington the afternoon
of October 13 or all day on the 14th, at which time we would like
him to see you.
Dick is presently employed by Wells, Rich, & Greene, as Executive
Vice President, second only to Mary Wells who is President, and
is a member of the Board of Directors, Prior to assuming this
position in September, he was Senior Vice President responsible
for all account management, media and programming, all international
work, and operational responsibility on a day-to-day basis. His
total compensation is $125,000.
From 1967 to 1969 he was employed by S.S.C.&B. of New York as
Executive Vice President with overall responsibility for one-half
of all advertising accounts handled by the agency. In addition, he
was a member of the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, and
a Trustee of Profit Sharing Trust.
From 1946 to 1955 and again from 1958 to 1966 he was employed by
N. W. Ayer of New York where he began as a Media Buyer and progressed
through the Marketing Department to become Supervisor, Account Execu-
tive and then Manager of the Detroit Office. When he left he was a
Vice President, Member of the Board of Directors and a member of the
Executive Committee. During the period 1955 to 1958 he was employed
as a Vice President and Senior Account Executive on Mercury Car line
for Kenyon & Eckard of New York.

You wanted to review the candidates for Advertising Director at

interviewed during the past three weeks by Malek, Chapin, Magruder,
Garment, Marumoto from Malek's office, and myself. Six of the
candidates, Ed Balts (Compton Advertising - L.A.), Paul Carabatt
(Interpublic Group of Companies - N.Y.), Stephen Frankfurt
(Young and Rubican), Jim Heekin (Tinker/Pritchard Wood), Alan
Mooney (Merril Lynch - N.Y.), and Chester Posey (McCann
Erickson - N.Y.) do not deserve your time in the opinion of
the interviewers.
Peter Dailey of Dailey and Associates - L.A. impressed Chapin,
Malek, Marumoto and myself as "eminently qualified." He
is the best type of Californian and would relate easily
with most members of the White House and Campaign staffs.
His resume is attached.
The other candidate is Richard O'Reilly of Wells, Rich and Green -
N.Y. Be impressed Chapin, Garment, Magruder, Malek, and myself
as the most qualified from a technical "track record" point of
view. He is no less personable than Peter Dailey just more
"Eastern." The main problem with O'Reilly is compensation -
currently $125,000 per annum. Whether he would demand anything
near that for a campaign year is not known (O'Reilly's resume
is attached.)
Magruder has scheduled the Attorney General to see O'Reilly on Octo-
ber 13. Chapin and I believe you should also meet O'Reilly. If
O'Reilly is not accepted by the Attorney General because of
personality or salary, appointments with Peter Dailey will be
arranged.

THE ADVERTISING DIRECTOR'S JOB
Some Thoughts on How to Make it Productive and Rewarding
1. Your Objectives:
I assume that they are three-fold. First, you want advertising that is
an imaginative and effective instrument of your campaign strategy. Second,
you want a buttoned-up business operation -- efficient management of a very
complex communications and purchasing project. And third, you will want
innovative thinking on all the communications aspects of the election cam-
paign.
2. The Dual Role of the Advertising Director:
As you outlined the job to me, it will have a rather unique character. On
the one hand, the director will be a publisher/manager, responsible for the
outpouring of $15-$20 million worth of materials. On the other hand, he will
also be Editor-in-Chief, equally responsible for the development of message
strategy and executions that will help reelect the President.
We might expect that the man who fills this job will not have equal talents in
both of these areas. His first responsibility, then, will be one of self-
analysis. He must decide either that he will be most effective in the pub-
lisher/manager role, and therefore recruit major strength on the editorial
side; or that he will perform best as editor and creative director, in which
case he must recruit major strength oh the management side. The decision
would be easy for me, as my talents and inclination bend clearly towards
editing; for someone like Jack Bowen, for example, the opposite decision
would probably also come easily. In any event, an awareness of role-playing
and one's particular strengths and weaknesses are critical right from the
beginning.
With regard to the publisher/manager function, I would anticipate that your
advertising head will have pretty much his own way. First, because it is a
massive, dirty, fast-paced and complex job, and few Presidential Assistants
are going to want to nose into it. Second, because it requires a high degree
of technical experience that few others in Washington will have.
It is the editor role that will be tough to play and where you can help
immensely with structure and procedure.
3. Structure:
As you outlined it to me a few weeks ago, it sounds fine. The advertising
director will be part of a reasonably small strategy team as well as head
of the house agency that implements the strategy. As I understand it, he
will report officially to Mitchell but will probably work closely in most
decision-making matters with yourself.
I have no suggestions with regard to the structure as it exists on paper.
-2-
4. Decision-Making:
It would seem of prime importance to determine who can say yes and in what
areas. I would suspect that many decisions will have to be made that are
too unimportant or remote
for direct referral to Mitchell but are, at
least at first, too foreign for your advertising director to make unilater-
ally. It seems to me here is where someone like you would come in. There
should be some alter-ego to Mitchell with well-defined decision-making
authority, always available to the advertising director. The two of you
can expedite all but the most important matters without delay and without
bothering a higher officer. Such decisions would probably include many
items of budgeting and money mechanics, most logistical matters, most pur-
chasing and, at the beginning, recruiting decisions.
Most decisions going to Mitchell and the Strategy Committee should involve
actual creative and media recommendations -- the approval of key commercials,
advertisements, promotions, TV and radio programming ideas, etc.
5. Substantive Approval
This should be made as simple as possible. You can anticipate that it will
be an ongoing, almost hourly function to check accuracy, unearth and verify
facts and avoid errors. One or two people very knowledgeable and immersed
in the administration's performance over the past four years should be
attached directly to the creative department so that by the time material
gets to you or the committee you know it has gone through this accuracy check.
One word of warning that is probably unnecessary: The people involved in sub-
stantive approval should understand that their role is to check facts only
and provide no editorial critiques.
6. Pipe Lines and Discipline:
:
Anyone who knows someone in Washington is going to have a great idea for the
campaign. Politics being what it is, many of these people and ideas are going
to get through to high places. If they pertain to advertising, they should
first go through your advertising director.
If some friend gets to Frank Shakespeare who gets to Bob Holderman who pops
in at a strategy meeting with an idea from left field, chaos can result. A
campaign needs all the ideas it can get, but there should be a thoroughly
understood procedure for submitting them.
This is going to be hard to discipline. I know the persistence of authorship
and the dramatic appeal of the unexpected bomb. The high level staff man whose
CBS friend has a great half-hour program idea will want to take it where he
can get the most credit for it -- high as he can go. Ultimately, the decision
will fall upon top professionals so that is where the idea should go first.
See if you can get that done!
7. Regional Programs
Chances are that many local and state campaign chairmen are going to want
specially tailored programs. If the central house agency has to develop and
produce these, then the number must be carefully limited. A separate regional
program can be almost as much work as the basic national campaign; and your
agency staff will have a limited capacity to handle it.
-3-
If local agencies are recruited for much of this work -- and this may be
the only practical way to handle things --- then you will want to set up some
system through which the local material is screened by Washington Headquarters.
You probably have that matter already solved, but it can become hairy. I re-
call Rockefeller talking one way in New York City while Malcolm Wilson was
taking the opposite tack in taped radio commercials done locally out of
Rochester.
8. Research
Try to make sure that your research head and your advertising head are as
close as Siamese twins. Too often research -- which is always awaited by
top management as if it were the second coming -- gets its information
directly to the top and filters it down to the action level only as an after-
thought. This is as demoralizing as it is inefficient in a communications
system.
9. Timetable and Waste Motion
Your advertising campaign will probably not get started in a major way until
August or even early September. I would bet that 80-90% of your dollars
will be spent in the last two months.
Advertising production techniques -- including the taping of television --
are geared today to fast action.
The timetable should take advantage of these facts, and you will probably want
to hold off commitment to finished materials until the latest possible date.
You know better than I that today's issue can become tomorrow's dead horse;
but unless your advertising head has had prior campaign experience, he is
going to get awfully nervous about July 15th.
Every capability should be prepared for an indescribable crush over that last
three months. You can manage it if you anticipate it and plan for it. As
one small example: start early to reserve some time of key administrative
spokesmen -- including the President -- for taping sessions during September
and October, even if your early strategy does not call for it.
10. Writing:
My limited experience tells me that your biggest questions, your longest debates,
and your toughest decisions are going to occur around words. Your house agency
will have superb writers crafting the advertising. But the White House and
campaign staffs must be already well stocked with wordsmiths -- speech writers,
platform framers, communications specialists, legislation drafters, etc., etc.
Try to keep the political writers out of the advertising copy.
Perhaps you will want one highly competent political writer working with the
advertising director and his creative staff -- as advisor and friend of the
court. If possible, he should be a man who has earned the respect and con-
fidence of the President. Other than that, all efforts on the part of self-
appointed editors should be nipped in the bud.
-4-
This does not for a minute suggest that the decision-making responsibility
of yourself and Mr. Mitchell should be turned off when it comes to copy.
Your most important approvals -- and rejections -- will be based on wording.
But those decisions must be made by the same few authorities all the time,
and others must be kept out of the act.
11. Working and Living Conditions:
Make things as attractive as possible. Go out of your way to make the top
advertising recruits feel like important members of the President's staff.
They will soon be working at an excruciating pace -- as you will -- and they
can use some status symbols to keep their adrenalin flowing.
When I visited you and others down in Washington, I was unexpectedly taken
with the environment -- bright, enthusiastic, confident and, most surprising,
exhibiting an element of fun. Try to keep the fun in it. Creative juices
run freer in a climate that is responsive and occasionally mirthful. Inci-
dentally, O'Reilly is full of fun. Try to get him.

Present at last Thursday evening's dinner meeting at the Army-Navy
Club were Senators Javits, Brooke, Taft, and Hatfield. The dinner
was sponsored by Senator Javits and the dining room was registered
in his name.
About 25 businessmen attended, including J. Irwin Miller, John Hay
Whitney, John L. Weinberg, General Lauris Norstad, Walter Thayer,
and William Moore.
Senator Brooke has told a White House aide that the purpose of the
meeting was not to discuss the Vice Presidency, but rather to find
ways to bolster moderate Republican candidates. From what we can
determine, the main purpose of the meeting was to establish an
independent financial base for the liberal wing of the party.
The presence of UPI and AP reporters at the dinner evidently came
as a surprise to those attending and may have served to put the
Senators and their financial supporters on notice that their ac-
tivities are being watched.
Wire service and newspaper accounts are attached.

WASHINGTON AP - President Wixon's re-election chances next year

are very arim, four GCP senators have told their wealthy backers.
Lixon may win enough sunport for a second term thanks to his

Brooke and Taft complained that when the administration does
something positive "it doesn't coe across to the people.
Hatfield, who is expected to face 2 strong challenge for

CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: San Francisco Mayoral Race
We have been asked to convey the following request from Harold Dobbs,
candidate for mayor of San Francisco:
There are three major candidates in the race for mayor of San Fran-
cisco -- Dobbs, Republican; Mayor Joseph Alioto, and Supervisor
Dianne Feinstein, both Democrats. The election will be held in less
than a month -- November 2, 1971.
Dobbs' strategy is to cement the two Democrats together on most is-
sues, moving them to approximately 28% of the vote each. Allowing
10% for lesser candidates, Dobbs could win with 34%. The winning
candidate needs only a plurality, not a majority. There is no
primary and no run-off.
Prior to the entry of Dobbs and Feinstein into the race, pollster
Don Muchmore of Opinion Research in California published the fol-
lowing figures concerning Alioto's re-election effort: Undecided
51.6%; Alioto 32%. This is particularly significant in that
Alioto enjoyed a 99% name recognition factor.
Dobbs' people feel that he can win with outside financial assis-
tance, and that his victory would be of great help to us in the
re-election effort in California. San Francisco is the strongest
mayor-controlled city in California, and with the power of the
mayor's office behind the President, our re-election campaign
would benefit.
Dobbs has asked us for $150,000 which is needed immediately in
order to contract for media programs this week.
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL

In discussing Dobbs' race with reliable and well informed sources
in California, their unanimous opinion is that he cannot win --
although it is too early at this time to make a definite predic-
tion as to his chances. Therefore, it seems to us that if we
were to give him money -- perhaps $25,000 or $30,000 -- it would
be basically for public relations purposes.

HAROLD DOBBS: GENERAL INFORMATION
Dobbs, age 52, is a successful businessman and attorney. He has
been very active in San Francisco civic affairs and Bay area
politics for a number of years. In 1968 he served as San Fran-
cisco Chairman of the Nixon campaign. In 1970, he actively sup-
ported the Reagan/Reinecke team and the George Murphy campaign.
Political Information
Dobbs has served three terms (1952-1964) as a San Francisco Super-
visor. In 1963, he ran unsuccessfully for Mayor. He was defeated
by Congressman Jack Shelly. Dobbs ran for Mayor again in 1967.
That year, the incumbent, Shelly, backed out of the campaign at
the last minute and endorsed Joseph Alioto who won.
1963 Vote
Shelly 120,000; Dobbs 94,000; Mancuso 27,000
1967 Vote
Alioto 110,000; Dobbs 94,000; Morrison 40,000
MRS. DIANNE FEINSTEIN: GENERAL INFORMATION
Mrs. Feinstein is President of the County/City Board of Supervisors.
She is an attractive 28 year old housewife, but has no business ex-
perience. She was elected for the first time in 1969. All candi-
dates for Supervisor run at-large; the one receiving the most popular
votes is elected President of the Board.
Support
Her popular support lies with liberal Democrats, the Black community,
and ecology advocates.
Financial Backing
Her chief financial supporters are the same men who support Alioto,
the chief addition being a renegade Republican, William Brinton, who
headed the 1970 state-wide effort of Wilson Riles in his successful
race against Max Rafferty for California Superintendent of Public
Instruction. Reliable sources who belong to the Alioto group have
reported privately to Dobbs that great dissention exists in the Alioto
campaign. These same people are also convinced that Alioto cannot be
re-elected because of personal problems and the tax and bussing issues.
Therefore, in order to preserve their power base, they have taken out
an insurance policy in Dianne Feinstein. She officially entered the
campaign on the last day of filing.

1971 MAJOR CAMPAIGN ISSUES
TAXES. This time, the tax problem is more than just the same old
issue.
Alioto Position
In 1967, on the eve of the election, Alioto sent a "personalized"
telegram to all home owners stating he would "unequivocally" roll
back the property tax if elected. The telegram was considered the
deciding factor in his behalf. Many people have saved the tele-
grams. Since 1967, the property tax rate has increased 50%. That
in itself is substantial, but then add the fact that five new taxes
have been initiated since his election. They include a payroll tax,
gross receipt tax, garage tax, utility tax and a sewer tax.
Feinstein Position
Alioto couldn't put new taxes into effect without the approval of the
Board of Supervisors. Since her election, Mrs. Feinstein has sup-
ported each new tax request. And now, in her mayoral campaign liter-
ature, she has even gone one step further and is recommending a city
personal income tax.
BUSSING
The overwhelming number of San Franciscans are opposed to bussing.
Alioto Position
Alioto supports bussing. However, he knows the majority of the citi-
zens don't like it. Therefore, he vacilated and fumbled until the
Federal courts forced the issue. He immediately spoke out against
the decision but his late opposition didn't convince the people and
they blamed his lack of leadership for the situation.
Feinstein Position
Supports bussing and supports the court's decision.
BALLOT PROPOSITION. Elect school board. The school board in San Fran-
cisco is currently appointed by the mayor. Citizens, upset by the bus-
sing crisis and the mayor's role in it, feel the board should be elected.
The initiative drive was led by Supervisor John Barbagelata, a strong
Alioto supporter in 1967 who has become tremendously disillusioned with
the mayor. To illustrate the depth of feeling on the subject,
Barbagelata was about to turn in 73,000 signatures of registered voters.
This is approximately 1/4 of the total city registration.

Harold Dobbs
General Information:
Dobbs, age 52, is a successful businessman and attorney.
He has been very active in San Francisco civic affairs
and Bay Area politics for a number of years. In 1968,
he served as San Francisco chairman of the Nixon campaign.
In 1970, he actively supported the Reagan-Reinecke team
and the George Murphy campaign.
Political:
Dobbs has served three terms (1952-1964) as a San Francisco
Supervisor. In 1963, he ran unsuccessfully for mayor. He
was defeated by Congressman Jack Shelley. Dobbs ran for
mayor again in 1967. That year, the incumbent, Shelley,
backed out at the last minute and endorsed Joseph Alioto
who won.

Dobbs has remained very active in party politics and during
1971, he prevailed upon a number of Republicans to enter
the mayor's race. None came forward and Dobbs, convinced
that a Republican COULD win in 1971, decided September 17th,
the last day for filing, to enter the race. He pledged his
own $50,000 seed money to launch the effort and stands ready
to put in another $50,000.
Mayor Joseph Alioto, (D) Incumbent
General Information:
Alioto has major legal difficulities out of the city.
Confidence in his leadership has been substantially shaken,
causing him to spend heavily in his re-election effort.
Estimated cost at between $500,000 and $750,000.

Alioto (Continued)
Support:
His voting strength is with union leaders, and their
ability to deliver, and hard core white traditional
Democrats.
Financial backing:
His power of incumbency in a strong mayor controlled city.
Union political funds.
Ben Swig and his Nob Hill brokers.
Mrs. Dianne Feinstein (D), President, County/City Board of Supervisors
General Information:
Attractive, 38 year old housewife. Has no business experience.
Elected for the first time in 1969. All candidates for
supervisor run at large; the one receiving the most popular
votes is elected president of the board.
Support:
He principal support lies with liberal Democrats, the Black
community, homosexuals, ecology advocates and the "do-gooder."
Financial backing:
Her chief financial supporters are the same men who support
Alioto. The chief addition being a renegade Republican,
William Brinton, who headed the 1970 statewide effort of
black Wilson Riles in his successful race against Max Rafferty
for California Superintendent of Public Instruction. Reliable
sources who belong to the Swig group have reported privately
to Dobbs that great dissention exists in the Alioto campaign.
These same people are also convinced that Alioto cannot be
re-elected. because of his personal problems and the tax and
bussing issues. Therefore, in order to preserve their power
base, they have taken out an insurance policy in Dianne
Feinstein. She officially entered the campaign on the last
day of filing.

1971 Major Campaign Issues
TAXES
This time, the tax problem is more than just the same
old issue.
Alioto Position:
In 1967, on the eve of the election, Alioto sent a "personalized"
telegram to all homeowners stating he would "unequivocally" roll
back the property tax if elected. The telegram was considered
the deciding factor in his behalf. Many people have saved the
telegrams. Since 1967, the property tax rate has increased
50%. That in itself is substantial. But then add the fact
that FIVE NEW taxes have been initiated since his election.
They include a payroll tax, gross receipts tax, garage tax,
utility tax and a sewer tax.
Feinstein Position:
Alioto couldn't put new taxes into effect without the approval
of the Board of Supervisors. Since her election, Mrs. Feinstein
has voted her support on each new tax request. And now, in
her mayorality campaign literature, she has even gone one step
further, and is recommending a city personal income tax.
BUSSING
The overwhelming majority of San Franciscans are opposed to
bussing.
Alioto Position:
Alioto supported bussing. However, he knew the majority of
the citizens didn't like it. Therefore, he vacillated and
fumbled until the federal courts forced the issue. He
immediately spoke out against the decision. But his late
opposition didn't convince the people and they blame his lack
of leadership for the situation.
Feinstein Position:
Supports bussing and supports the court decision.

BALLOT PROPOSITION
Elected School Board:
The school board in San Francisco is currently appointed
by the mayor. Citizens, upset by the bussing crisis and
the mayor's role in it, feel the board should be elected.
The initiative drive was led by Supervisor John Barbagelata,
a strong Alioto supporter in 1967, who has become tremendously
disillusioned with the mayor.
To illustrate the depth of feeling on this subject,
Barbagelata was able to turn in 73,000 signatures of
registered voters. This is approximately 1/4 of the total
city registration.
This time, Barbagelata is strongly supporting Harold Dobbs
for Mayor and plans a 73,000 endorsement mailer to the
signers of his petition.
POLLS
Prior to the entry of Dobbs and Feinstein into the race,
Pollster Don Muchmore, of Opinion Research of California,
published the following startling figures concerning Alioto's
re-election effort:
Undecided
51.6%
Alioto
32.0%
This is particularly significant in that Alioto enjoyed a
99% name recognition factor.
Dobbs Strategy
Cement Alioto and Feinstein together on all issues in a
strong media and direct mail campaign.
Level Alioto - Feinstein at 28% each. Move Dobbs to a 34%
position allowing 10% for lesser candidates. 10% would be
high for this group. In 1967, the 15 lesser candidates
combined received only 4% of the vote.
Dobbs Support
Strong official Republican Party support at the county level.

(Please note: All Republican efforts are non-publicized.)
Dobbs Finances
Personal commitment.
3,500 letters mailed to previous contributors.
Large contributors being solicited individually.
No large fund raiser currently planned.
Dobbs Victory and the Re-election of the President
It is our opinion that Dobbs will win with immediate financial
assistance.
San Francisco is a strong mayor-controlled city. The strongest
in California.
With the power of the Mayor's office and Dobbs' personal
leadership behind the drive to re-elect the President in
the Bay Area, it is our belief that fund raising can be
substantially increased over any previous effort.
Further, a Republican Mayor can assist with the Presidential
campaign publicity, logistics and other support items.
Request
The Dobbs campaign needs an additional $150,000.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
THE ATTORNEY GENERA
FROM:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
SUBJECT:
NEW YORK STATE
On Tuesday, September 28, Bob Marik visited Syracuse, N. Y., to review
the political research being done in connection with reapportionment in
New York State. He met with Charles Webb, General Counsel to Perry Duryea,
House Speaker of the State Assembly, and Dick Scolaro, Executive Director
of the Joint Legislative Committee on Reapportionment. Lance Tarrance of
the Census Bureau participated from the technical side, having worked with
the state people over an extended period to provide them with the necessary
Census data.
In contrast to California, where a great deal of effort has gone into
the computerized system and mapmaking output capability, the New York people
have devoted most of their resources to the drafting of large-scale, up-
to-date street maps for the entire state. The computer system has essentially
the same data as the California system, but the computations are less
automated and there is no graphical output capability. They have spent
approximately $300,000 on maps over the past 2 1/2 years, $50,000 on computer
hardware and systems, and $50,000 on building the data base. The funds
came largely from state sources, since the Republicans control the legislature.
The Republican State Committee has also been kept fully abreast of reapportion-
ment activities.
The data and computer system developed for reapportionment will naturally
have great applicability for the campaign. The state people have been dis-
appointed in their lack of success in building a strong and mutually bene-
ficial relationship with the RNC over the past several years. They are
particularly interested in gaining the benefit of national expertise in re-
cent developments in techniques of campaign management, research, communica-
tions, party organization, etc. They would be very receptive to a relationship
with the Nixon campaign organization by which their data would be made
available to us, and some of the research and data analysis which we prepare
for the New York Presidential campaign could also be made available for
Assembly and State Senate races. We may also be able to work out a cost-sharing
arrangement for polls taken within the state.
-2-
The state people feel that Republican Assembly candidates run better
with the President at the head of the ticket, than with the Governor. The
reason is that the Governor is often stronger in heavily Democratic areas
where Republican Assembly candidates lose anyway, but in the marginal
Republican areas, the President unites the Republican and Conservative vote
better than the Governor. For that reason, it is very important to the
State party that the President run a strong campaign. They are prepared
to work with us if we show a willingness to maintain a two-way flow of
communication and technical support. A strong, cooperative effort in the
research area could be one effective link in that relationship, and could
save us both a lot of money.
Recommendation
That the Committee continue to explore, with the N. Y. State people,
possible areas of cooperation in research, but coordinating carefully with
the plans being developed for the field organization in that state.

Comments
Dick Scolaro is also interested in building the Party in the New York
state. Toward that objective, he desires to meet with party leaders in
California, Arkansas, Ohio and other states where the political structure
and campaign effectiveness is reputed to be good. He would be willing to
impart whatever useful practices have been developed in New York, in ex-
change for comparable information from these other states. He has asked
that we help to arrange introductions for him in each state. This project
is said to have the blessing of the State Committee and the Governor, but
we can verify that before any action is taken.
Recommendation
Assist Mr. Scolaro in meeting with leaders of strong state Republican
Party organizations across the country.
