MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: Demonstrating Congressional Support for the President's
Candidacy
Bill Timmons has asked for our guidance on whether it would be advis-
able, as a means for building support for the President's candidacy,
to ask members of the House and Senate to sign petitions endorsing
the President's entry into the New Hampshire Primary.
The advantages of such action would certainly lie in undercutting
the candidacy of Congressmen Ashbrook and McCloskey. If you approve,
we will work with Bill to generate the petitions.

CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
THROUGH:
JEB S. MAGRUDER
The scheduling of surrogates for the President is well under way.
To date, this office has been scheduling members of the Cabinet
and other Administration officials. We think that now is the
time to augment this operation to include Senators, Congressmen,
and Governors.
As you know, Ernie Minor has been scheduling these people from
the Republican National Committee, and doing a good job. We
would like your approval to have Ernie transfer from the RNC to
1701 in order to centralize the entire scheduling operation for
the duration of the campaign.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Ernie Minor be allowed to move his scheduling operation to
1701, reporting to Bart Porter. He would be placed on the payroll
effective February 1, 1972. His actual move would be made as soon
as space is available, probably around February 10th. His salary
would be the same as that which he is receiving at the RNC:
$31,800.

Secretary John B. Connally
We would appreciate receiving your opinion on the guidelines
which should be followed in scheduling Secretary Connally.
Secretary Connally is scheduled to appear at non-political
functions during the course of the next sixty days in Denver,
Richmond, Pittsburgh, Austin, Houston, New York and Chicago.
We have not referred to the Secretary any invitations to
appear at political functions.
Attached is a memorandum regarding an invitation for Secretary
Connally to appear at a non-political function in New Hampshire
prior to March 7, 1972.
QUESTION:
Should we attempt to schedule Secretary Connally into non-
political functions in key and primary states (including New
Hampshire) to benefit from media exposure?

MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE JOHN MITCHELL
THROUGH: JEB MAGRUDER
FROM:
DAN TODD
SUBJECT: ARTHUR FLEMMING
While Arthur Flemming will be devoting his full time to aging matters
for the balance of this year, his efforts will be split into two
main endeavors: His continuation as Chairman of the White House Confer-
ence on Aging and his position as Special Consultant to the President
for Aging. These dual roles, though heavily integrated, have quite
different objectives and requirements as outlined below:
WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE CHAIRMAN
The President, the Congress, and Conference leadership have continually
referred to the WHCoA as part of a 3-year process with 1972 being
designated as the "Post-Conference year of action". This goes somewhat
beyond the legal authority of the Conference which will expire on
June 30th.
In keeping with the specifics of the Joint Resolution a final report
must be presented to the Secretary within 120 days and development of
a legislative package implementing such parts of the report as may be
desirable 90 days thereafter. Going beyond these statutory requirements,
however, is the President's direction that a Post-Conference Board be
established to follow up and report on the Conference's impact and the
necessity to continue some of the efforts associated specifically with
the Conference itself (ex. the establishment of a National Steering Com-
mittee of Volunteer Organizations designed to provide services to allow
the elderly to remain in their own homes or other places of residence;
the personal pledges of the Delegates themselves to work on behalf of
the elderly in various ways during 1972).
To allow for these activities, Dr. Flemming will seek an extension of
the Conference Authority to 12/31/72 through appropriate channels.
His position as Chairman has lead to numerous speaking engagements. It
is his intention (and ours) to maximize his appearances in the field as
he enjoys strong credibility with this group and can take advantage of
many forums not open to others.
Dr. Flemming also anticipates conducting at least two follow-up meetings
in each of the ten Federal regions which will involve Federal, state
- 2 -
and local public persons as well as Conference Delegates, National
Organization representatives and such other private parties as may
wish to participate. In addition, there will be at least two meetings
of the Post-Conference Board.
To staff these efforts, a reduced but continuing roster of those pre-
viously associated with the Conference will be maintained in the
Pennsylvania Building.
SPECIAL CONSULTANT TO THE PRESIDENT (See Attached Statement.)
Dr. Flemming envisages two main thrusts to this position: the internal
or effort associated with the Cabinet Committee and an external or
"ombudsman" function. He will have two special assistants to provide
staff support, one assigned to the Cabinet Committee, the other to
handle the external demands.
The Cabinet Committee, in addition to having done a great deal of pre-
Conference evaluation, will have the lead responsibility for consider-
ing the recommendations of the Conference and seeing that appropriate
action is taken. Jamie McLane will continue to have overall program
responsibility but he has not had a full-time technical staff man avail-
able to him heretofor. One of Dr. Flemming's men will fill this needed
slot.
The "ombudsman" will devote his time to the present structure and opera-
tion of the Federal government. A significant portion of the corres-
pondence received deals with oversights, omissions, or bureaucratic
snafus. It is Dr. Flemming's intention that a) each of these be
answered personally, and b) to the extent possible, the idea or complaint
be thoroughly investigated.
This person would also keep a constant check around government to ensure
that existing authorities and resources are used effectively on behalf
of the elderly and that nothing is taken away from them.
Dr. Flemming will also participate in a government-wide communications
effort to coordinate all press releases, Departmental initiatives and
public speaking engagements to ensure that, where there is any involve-

FOR : RELEASE AT 12 NOCN
JANUARY 11, 1972
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
This administration's commitment to forging a new national policy of
respect for, and service to, older Americans is significantly forwarded
today by the appointment of Dr. Arthur S. Flemming as my Special
Consultant on Aging. I am delighted to be gaining the services of this
distinguished public servant, who was an able Secretary of Health,
Education and Welfare under President Eisenhower, who has been a
leader in American education for many years, and whose energetic
direction as Chairman contributed so much to the success of the 1971
White House Conference on Aging.
I am determined, as I said in my address to that Conference last
month, that the voice of older Americans will be heard in the White
House when matters that affect the interests of older Americans are
being discussed. No one in the United States today is better qualified
to raise that voice, forcefully, and persuasively, than Arthur Flemming.
He will advise me on the whole range of concerns relating to older per-
sons: he will pursue aggressively, as my representative, the goals
of better implementation and tighter coordination of all Federal acti-
vities in the field of aging; he will continue as a member of our Cabinet-
level Domestic Council Committee on Aging; and he will also continue
as Chairman of the White House Conference on Aging during the crucial
post-conference year -- the year of action. His responsibilities in
this area will include appointing and heading up the activities of a post-
conference board to act as agent for the delegates in following up their
proposals.
In the early days of the administration I asked John B. Martin, Com-
missioner of the Administration on Aging in the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare, to take on the additional responsiblities of a
new post as Special Assistant to the President on Aging. His very
effective service in that post has not only meant better representation
for older citizens at the highest level of government; it has also revealed
that the dimensions of the job to be done are such that another good man
is needed. Now, with Ar thur Flemming's arrival as John Martin's
teammate, "senior power" doubles its forces at the White House. Better
Federal assistance to the aging should be the result.

MEMORANDUM FOR HONORABLE JOHN N. MITCHELL
THROUGH: JEB MAGRUDER
FROM:
DAN TODD
AR
SUBJECT: DHEW/AGING
As we discussed, there are four highly interrelated elements in the
successful operation of the campaign effort V. Older Americans:
Arthur Fleuming's operation; 1701; The Cabinet Committee and
The White House; DHEW.
This memo deals with HEW's role as implementator of the course laid out
by the Department in consultation with the other three. In many ways,
HEW's effectiveness in delivery of services and discharging its posi-
tion of leadership are the most important elements, as only they can
provide the factual record of progress and achievement that provides
credibility for the rest of US.
BACKGROUND
The Administration on Aging is looked to by this constituency as the
agency from which all Federal action should emanate. AOA has suffered
to date from both lack of effective leadership and submersion within the
Department's operating structure. Administration opponents have
articulately and effectively criticized us on both points.
DHEW and AOA will play the lead role in analyzing, making recommendations
to the President, and implementing decisions emanating from The White House
Conference, both because of subject matter and program content and because
Elliot Richardson also serves as Chairman of the Cabinet Committee on
Aging.
Additional visibility is provided by the fact that the Older Americans
Act expires this spring and its renewal will be the subject of much
partisan debate and a Presidential message.
There are also two Task Forces (one under Richardson and Flemming and one
created by Senator Church) which have studied the location, function and
operation of AOA and have submitted tentative findings to their respective
convenors.
- 2 -
PROBLEMS
I. Lack of a single contact point within the Office of the Secretary
for all Aging matters.
a) Because of the horizontal nature of aging programs, intra-
departmental coordination and discipline are essential if
effective results are to be forthcoming. This function
cannot be performed by AOA in its capacity as a line agency.
Also, the conflicts between the various different Adminis-
trations and Agencies of the Department are such as to
require the power, prestige and influence of the Office of
the Secretary if common ground is to be found.
b) Because of HEW's leadership position V. the Cabinet Committee
and because there is a great deal of inter-departmental
activity, lack of a sole source in OS reduces substantially
the effectiveness of the Committee as regards the decision-
making process on policy initiatives and follow-up on those
decisions.
II. Absence of effective articulate leadership in the Administration
on Aging.
a) AOA has received a supplemental appropriation for FY 72 and
the President committed himself to a substantial expansion of
their appropriation for FY 73. As of the present moment, no
satisfactorily detailed plans have been presented regarding
the allocation and expenditure of these funds.
b) The Older Americans Act expires this spring. There has been
substantial activity in both houses of Congress and both
Church and Brademas have bills in on the subject. In spite
of the fact that the Administration is in a position to
design its own program and in effect co-opt the opposition,
no plan for doing so exists.
c) Because the constituency considers AOA as "their" agency,
it is essential that AOA step out in an innovative way --
philosophically and programatically. At the present time,
momentum lies with Arthur Flemming. He is popular and effect-
ive but since he has no line or program authority, he cannot
make things happen. As the gap between his exhortations and
AOA's performance widens, the President's credibility suffers.
- 3 -
d) As we get further into the year, the Commissioner will be
faced with numerous appearances on the Hill in addition to
public speaking engagements. These events will be widely
covered in the Specialty press and it is essential that we
maximize our impact. While technically qualified, I do not
believe the incumbent Commissioner emanates the aura of
leadership necessary if we are to maintain or broaden the
favorable position we enjoy with this constituency.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. That the Secretary be urged to identify and install in his
immediate office a person who would have overall and full-
time responsibility for the Department's efforts in this
area as well as handling legislative matters and monitoring
Cabinet Committee activities. This action should be taken
immediately.
2. That John Martin be removed as head of AOA and replaced by
a strong performance-oriented person who is capable of both
public and private leadership of the agency. This should
be accomplished rapidly and no later than February 1, 1972.
Martin could be retained in his capacity as Special Assistant
to the President and/or as a "Special Assistant" to the
Secretary if it is felt such a continuation is necessary.

SUBJECT: POLLING CONTRACTS
Attached are three contracts between the Finance Committee and three
polling companies. The contract with Market Opinion Research Company
is the master; the others subsidiary.
Gordon Liddy has been over these and made the substantive changes he
deemed necessary prior to their being typed in final. Gordon noted
that he was not aboard while drafting was being done and that, while
the language could be more artful, in the interests of time he con-
cerned himself with substance only and he is satisfied with that.

In the states designated "primary over sample", Republican
primary voters will be over-sampled so as to yield a minimum sample of
300 Republican primary voters. Preliminary reports shall consist of
complete tabulations (a computer print-out) of all of the questions and
the final report shall consist of all tabulations of the data, any addi-
tional tabulations which were made (at the reasonable request of the
Committee) and an interpretive analysis for each of the surveys (in a
format approved by the Committee) and a set of punched data cards cover-
ing all of the data.
(b) Surveys subsequent to the initial group of surveys (subsequent
surveys), as described previously in this paragraph 1, shall be conducted
by MORC only upon written request from the Committee, provided, however,
that MORC shall have received at least seven days prior written notice of
any personal interview survey requested and at least two days prior
written notice of any telephone survey requested and provided further
that the parties shall have agreed in writing to the fees for the surveys
as set forth in paragraph 2 and the other details of the surveys as
set forth in paragraph 1 (c).
(c) MORC shall submit the questionnaire to be utilized in connection
with each survey to the Committee for approval prior to the commencement of
interviews. MORC will not proceed with any survey until it receives written
notice of the Committee's approval of the questionnaire. With respect to the
initial survey, the Committee acknowledges that the questionnaire and the pop-
ulation sample to be surveyed are acceptable to it. The specific details of
subsequent surveys as to timing, questionnaire content, and population sample
to be surveyed shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties as circumstances
may require; provided, however, that in the event the parties cannot agree,
it is understood the Committee shall have final authority to determine the
subject matter content of any survey, the wording of the questions on the
questionnaire (so long as the questions are in accordance with generally
accepted opinion surveying practice) and the population type to be sampled,
while MORC shall have final authority to determine the specific individuals
within the given population type to be sampled. MORC shall not be obligated
to ask questions of persons interviewed in addition to those included on the

payable on execution of this agreement or prior to the date for commencement
of interviewing and the balance of $52,900.00 shall be due and immediately
payable to MORC upon delivery by it of the interpretive report. The fee for
the over-samples in primary states will be at the same per interview rates as
the general election surveys as set forth in #la, and shall be in addition
to the above fee for the general election surveys. The fee for the over-
sample shall be due and payable with the final payment for the general
election survey. The fees for subsequent surveys are subject to subsequent
agreement of the parties. It is, however, understood that if the agreed
upon fee for any survey is $10,000.00 or less, the entire fee shall be
paid in full prior to the commencement of interviews and if the agreed
upon fee is $10,000.00 or more, an initial payment of the greater of
$10,000.00 or 50 percent of the total fee shall be paid prior to the
commencement of interviews with the balance due and immediately payable
upon delivery of the interpretive report.
3.
Ownership of Surveys and Disclosure of Information
The interpretive reports of surveys and the punched data cards for
the Committee shall become the property of the Committee when delivered to
it by MORC. The survey questionnaires and replies and all related data,
materials and information shall remain the property of MORC. MORC agrees
to retain such items for at least five years and to give the Committee
reasonable access thereto. MORC agrees not to divulge or use for any
purpose, including but not limited to advertising, public relations, publi-
cation, academic research, or as part of projects for other clients, the
information obtained in any survey for the Committee or included in any
interpretive report without the written consent of the Committee before
November 1, 1977, provided, however, that if the results of any survey or the
contents of any interpretive report are directly or indirectly made public
by the Committee, MORC may make public the following information: the popu-
lation from which the sample was taken, the size of the sample, the times when
the interviews were conducted, the exact wording of questions asked and the
name of the sponsor of the study. The Committee agrees that if it or anyone
else acting for it or on its behalf wishes to release in whole or in part
to the public by press release, speech or otherwise the data or results
of any survey or the contents of any interpretive report that the
Committee or the person acting for or on behalf of it will first notify MORC
in writing and also state in the release, speech or otherwise that the survey
or interpretive report, as the case may be, was done by MORC. Furthermore,
in the event of such release MORC may make public the population from which
the sample was taken, the size of the sample, the times when the interviews
were conducted, the exact wording of the questions asked and the name of the
sponsor of the survey. The Committee also agrees that at all times both
during the term of this Agreement and thereafter
it will hold in confidence
all knowledge or information as to the processes, methods and techniques of
MORC and that it will not disclose or make known such knowledge or information
to any other person, firm, corporation or organization including but not
limited to competitors of MORC except when specifically authorized to do so
in writing by MORC.
4. Non-Competition
MORC agrees not to perform services of any nature whatsoever for
any other candidate for the Presidency of the United States during the 1972
presidential campaign, without the express prior written consent of the
Committee.
5. Cancellation of Surveys
The Committee may cancel any survey requested by it (other than the
initial surveys) on written notice to MORC prior to the scheduled starting
date of interviewing. In the event notice of cancellation is received by MORC
seven days or more prior to the scheduled starting date of interviewing, any
deposits or payments made by the Committee with respect to said survey shall
be returned to the Committee. In the event that the cancellation of a survey
is made less than seven days prior to the scheduled starting date of inter-
viewing, MORC shall be entitled to retain 10 percent of the total fee for the
survey (or if such amount is not paid, the Committee shall be liable therefor)
as liquidated damages, the parties expressly agreeing that MORC'S costs of
preparing for any such survey are not capable of precise measurement.
6. Exclusion of Warranties
MORC agrees to utilize its best efforts to insure the accuracy of
all surveys conducted by it pursuant to this Agreement. However, it is speci-
fically understood and agreed that nothing in this Agreement, or any survey or
interpretive report shall be considered as either a prediction or guarantee of
the results of any election or the outcome of any event and any representations
or warranties, express or implied, to that effect are hereby excluded. In addi-
tion, MORC shall not be responsible or liable for any failure by it to conduct
any survey or render any interpretive report if such failure results from
labor disturbances, fires, floods, wars, riots, civil disturbances and other
similar or dissimilar events beyond the control of MORC.

AGREEMENT
Agreement made as of the 27 day of December, 1971 between
Opinion Research Corporation, a Delaware Corporation having its
principle offices at North Harrison Street, Princeton, New Jersey
(hereafter referred to as ORC) and the Finance Committee for the Re-
election of President Nixon, a voluntary association organized and
existing in the District of Columbia, having its principle offices at
1701 Pennsylvania Avenue (hereafter referred to as the Committee) .
WITNESSETH:
In consideration of the terms, conditions and covenants here-
of the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Conduct of Public Opinion Surveys
ORC agrees to conduct such public opinion (personal interview
or telephone) surveys (hereafter referred to as "surveys") as may be re-
quested by the Committee during the 1971-72 United States Presidential
campaign.
(a) An initial group of statewide surveys (initial groups of surveys)
shall be conducted by ORC in accordance with the list of states, the sample
specifications and the schedule listed below:

In the states designated "primary over sample", Republican
primary voters will be over-sampled so as to yield a minimum sample of
300 Republican primary voters. Preliminary reports shall consist of complete
tabulations (a computer print-out) of all of the questions and the final
report shall consist of all tabulations of the data, any additional
tabulations which were made (at the reasonable request of the Committee)
and an interpretive analysis for each of the surveys (in a format
approved by the Committee) and a set of punched data cards covering
all of the data.
(b) Surveys subsequent to the initial group of surveys (subsequent
surveys), as described previously in this paragraph 1, shall be conducted
by ORC only upon written request from the Committee, provided, however,
that ORC shall have received at least seven days prior written notice of
any personal interview survey requested and at least two days prior
written notice of any telephone survey requested and provided further
that the parties shall have agreed in writing to the fees for the surveys
as set forth in paragraph 2 and the other details of the surveys as
set forth in paragraph 1 (c).
(c) ORC shall submit the questionnaire to be utilized in connection
with each survey to the Committee for approval prior to the commencement of
interviews. ORC will not proceed with any survey until it receives written
notice of the Committee's approval of the questionnaire. With respect to the
initial survey, the Committee acknowledges that the questionnaire and the popu-
lation sample to be surveyed are acceptable to it. The specific details of
subsequent surveys as to timing, questionnaire content, and population sample
to be surveyed shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties as circumstances
may require; provided, however, that in the event the parties cannot agree,
it is understood the Committee shall have final authority to determine the
subject matter content of any survey, the wording of the questions on the
questionnaire (so long as the questions are in accordance with generally
accepted opinion surveying practice) and the population type to be sampled,
while ORC shall have final authority to determine the specific individuals
within the given population type to be sampled. ORC shall not be obligated
to ask questions of persons interviewed in addition to those included on the
approved questionnaire or to provide data or interpretations with respect
to topics or types of issues not covered by the questionnaire.
2. Fees and Payment
The fee to ORC for the initial group of general election surveys
including the interpretive report thereof shall be $114,700.00, $57,350.00
payable on execution of this agreement or prior to the date for commencement
of interviewing and the balance of $57,350.00 shall be due and immediately
payable to ORC upon delivery by it of the interpretive report. The fee for
the over-samples in primary states will be $6,600.00 in Florida, $4,700.00
in New Hampshire and shall be in addition to the above fee for the general
election surveys. The fee for the over-sample shall be due and payable with
the final payment for the general election survey. The fees for subsequent
surveys are subject to subsequent agreement of the parties. It is, however,
understood that if the agreed upon fee for any survey is $10,000.00 or less,
the entire fee shall be paid in full prior to the commencement of interviews
and if the agreed upon fee is $10,000.00 or more, an initial payment of the
greater of $10,000.00 or 50 percent of the total fee shall be paid prior to
the commencement of interviews with the balance due and immediately payable
upon delivery of the interpretive report.
3. Ownership of Surveys and Disclosure of Information
The interpretive reports of surveys and the punched data cards for
the Committee shall become the property of the Committee when delivered to
it by ORC. The survey questionnaires and replies and all related data,
materials and information shall remain the property of ORC. ORC agrees to
retain such items for at least five years and to give the Committee
reasonable access thereto. ORC agrees not to divulge or use for any
purpose, including but not limited to advertising, public relations, publi-
cation, academic research, or as part of projects for other clients, the
information obtained in any survey for the Committee or included in any
interpretive report without the written consent of the Committee before
November 1, 1977, provided, however, that if the results of any survey or the
contents of any interpretive report are directly or indirectly made public
by the Committee, ORC may make public the following information: the popu-
lation from which the sample was taken, the size of the sample, the times when
the interviews were conducted, the exact wording of questions asked and the
name of the sponsor of the study. The Committee agrees that if it or anyone
else acting for it or on its behalf wishes to release in whole or in part
to the public by press release, speech or otherwise the data or results
of any survey or the contents or any interpretive report that the
Committee or the person acting for or on behalf of it will first notify ORC
in writing and also state in the release, speech or otherwise that the survey
or interpretive report, as the case may be, was done by ORC. Futhermore,
in the event of such release ORC may make public the population from which
the sample was taken, the size of the sample, the times when the interviews
were conducted, the exact wording of the questions asked and the name of the
sponsor of the survey. The Committee also agrees that at all times both
during the term of this Agreement and thereafter that it will hold in confidence
all knowledge or information as to the processes, methods and techniques of
ORC and that it will not disclose or make known such knowledge or information
to any other person, firm, corporation or organization including but not
limited to competitors of ORC except when specifically authorized to do so
in writing by ORC.
4. Non-Competition
ORC agrees not to perform services of any nature whatsoever for
any other candidate for the Presidency of the United States during the 1972
presidential campaign, without the express prior written consent of the
Committee.
5. Cancellation of Surveys
The Committee may cancel any survey requested by it (other than the
initial surveys) on written notice to ORC prior to the scheduled starting
date of interviewing. In the event notice of cancellation is received by ORC
seven days or more prior to the scheduled starting date of interviewing, any
deposits or payments made by the Committee with respect to said survey shall
be returned to the Committee. In the event that the cancellation of a survey
is made less than seven days prior to the scheduled starting date of inter-
viewing, ORC shall be entitled to retain 10 percent of the total fee for the
survey (or if such amount is not paid, the Committee shall be liable therefor)
as liquidated damages, the parties expressly agreeing that ORC's costs of
preparing for any such survey are not capable of precise measurement.
6. Exclusion of Warranties
ORC agrees to utilize its best efforts to insure the accuracy of
all surveys conducted by it pursuant to this Agreement. However, it is speci-
fically understood and agreed that nothing in this Agreement, or any survey or
interpretive report shall be considered as either a prediction or guarantee of
the results of any election or the outcome of any event and any representations
or warranties, express or implied, to that effect are hereby excluded. In addi-
tion, ORC shall not be responsible or liable for any failure by it to conduct
any survey or render any interpretive report if such failure results from
labor disturbances, fires, floods, wars, riots, civil disturbances and other
similar or dissimilar events beyond the control of ORC.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE STAFF
FROM: ROBERT C. ODLE, JR.
R
It has been requested that no one from this Committee approach
anyone currently employed at the White House about the possi-
bility of moving from the White House to a staff position here.
This would apply to professional as well as secretarial members
of the White House staff, and even to people on the White House
staff who have expressed an interest in leaving regardless of
whether they get a job here or who have initiated conversation
with someone here about the possibility of their moving here.
Should an exception to this policy seem necessary, please check
with me or Jeb Magruder.
Thank you.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
MR. GORDON C. STRACHAN
FROM:
ROBERT C. ODLE, JR.
R
Recently I had a call from Nora Vandersommen, who used to be Dana
Mead's secretary at the White House, asking about employment here.
I told her I could not interview her because we had no vacancies,
when in fact we did have secretarial openings -- but as you know,
we do not interview secretaries at the White House who wish to
come here. When she said she was leaving the White House no matter
what, I called Dana Mead to verify this, and when he told me this
was the case, I did talk with and subsequently hired her. As the
attached letter from Dana states, when I first interviewed her she
definitely had severed her employment with the White House, and
was looking elsewhere. Therefore, she was not covered by our rule.
Confidentially, her departure was caused by the fact that Dana was
being moved into an office near Ed Morgan, and there was a problem
between Morgan and Nora.
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
January 10, 1972
Dear Rob:
As I indicated to you on the phone, my secre-
tary, Nora Vandersommen, will be leaving the
White House shortly and will be available if
you desire to hire her.
I want to assure you that she is a competent
and trusted employee, but she has decided
definitely to leave the White House. In light
of this, she will not accept employment in
the Executive Office and is available to you
or other government agencies outside the
White House.

CONFIDENTIAL
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
We are awaiting the Chairman's approval for our proposed
program in order to move forward. We expect that this will
occur this week.
LEGAL
Additional advice was given on the application of the Hatch
Act; a uniform agreement for speaker requests handled by the
Committee was reviewed, modified and approved; articles of
association for the Business and Industry Committee for the
Re-election of the President were drafted and sent to Paul
Kayser; research on the practical effort of the federal
election reform bill continued.
WOMEN
Roma Spaulding, Assistant Chairman and Director of Volunteers
for the Re-election of the President in New Hampshire, held a
leadership meeting of her key people December 29 at the Commit-
tee headquarters in Concord, New Hampshire, at which time she
presented the volunteer programs to them.
Recruitment of volunteers is of prime importance now in New
Hampshire and coffees are being scheduled throughout the state
to maximize the recruitment efforts. Each of the key women
has scheduled a coffee and they will be held from January 9
through February 18. Key Administration speakers will be
invited to attend one of the coffees when they are in New
Hampshire.
At present there are no plans for the usual big luncheon-type
activities as Mrs. Spaulding feels their time is better spent
in recruitment at smaller functions.
Hal Byrd of South Carolina was most receptive to the integrated
concept and feels the Southern women are ready for this change.
He has a woman already in mind for his co-chairman. He also is
appointing a steering committee which will be comprised of many
key women in the state.
Preliminary plans are being made for publicity in the women's
vote area and we are working closely with Ann Dore to make the
releases as effective as possible.
SPOKESMEN RESOURCES
The attention of the Spokesmen Resources division was directed
toward the organization of a program of appearances in New
Hampshire prior to March 7. The program was developed in
coordination with Governor Dwinell and Mr. Walker, of the New
Hampshire Committee, and with the cooperation of the various
groups represented in this office. Attached to this memo is
a chronological summary of these appearances.
Our attention was also directed toward scheduling appearances
at the various Lincoln Day Dinners in February and an intensive
program of official and political appearances by Secretary Butz
throughout the Midwest. It is hoped that in February Secretary
Butz will visit North Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Tennes-
see, Wisconsin, Missouri, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Virginia and
South Carolina. We also undertook to coordinate scheduling of
other political appearances throughout the country.
A training seminar is scheduled to be held on Saturday, January 8,
1972, for the individuals who will be acting as advancemen for
Members of the Cabinet. During the course of the week, we devel-
oped the schedule for the seminar and prepared the Advance Manual.
It is expected that forty people will attend the seminar.
We continued our series of interviews and conferences with the
chairmen of the state campaign committees, representatives of
charter airlines, and campaign support personnel.
Joe Horacek, our celebrities coordinator in Los Angeles, is in
the process of contacting approximately 150 celebrities to ask
for their support of the President in the coming campaign.
Horacek thinks he should be able to start producing celebrities
and athletes who will actively support the President by January 10.
A strategy meeting was held Thursday, December 30, 1971, for the
purpose of discussing the procedure to be followed in meeting the
campaign expenses incurred by the First Family, Vice President,
and speakers scheduled by the Spokesmen Resources office. In
attendance was the Spokesmen Resources staff, Rob Odle, and Bob
Reisner.

YOUTH
Voter Registration
Pennsylvania -- In a canvass registration effort in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, the Northeast Young Republican Club contacted 31,200
people in a 13 ward area. Of those people who were willing to
answer the survey questions 50.7 supported the President, 30.4 did
not and 18.9 were undecided. These results are very encouraging
when it is noted that Hubert Humphrey carried each of these wards
in 1968 with percentages ranging from 53% to 78%. Of those persons
who said that they supported the President only about 10% (1,188)
were not registered and most of these were young people. The
Northeast Young Republican Club is following up on these people to
see that they register and vote.
Tennessee -- Registration drives were conducted in 5 Knoxville
area high schools which had a 65% or better Nixon percentage in
1968. Of the 500 eighteen year olds who were registered, approxi-
mately 60% considered themselves Republicans. Of the remaining
-4-
40%, a large number considered themselves independents. The
drive received some very. favorable publicity, noting the
Republican Party's interest in registering young people.
California -- 128 precincts were canvassed in the San Diego
area in the months of November and December, and 934 Repub-
licans were registered.
The failure to register large numbers of people in California
points up the problem in asking people whether or not they are
Republicans rather than whether or not they support the
President. In all other states we are basing our initial
canvass on Presidential support, but we have been unable to
convince the California GOP to change their canvass techniques.
In addition, it emphasizes the need to involve volunteers in a
voter registration effort rather than doing it with paid people
as they are in California. We have used volunteers everywhere
else with satisfactory results.
Florida -- More than 25,000 were canvassed and approximately
18,000 people answered the questionnaire in the Orange County
area of Florida. Of these 18,000, 78% or 13,040 answered the
survey questions. Of those who answered the questions, 75%
supported the President and 25% did not. Of the 9,780 who
did support the President almost 1/3 (2,836) were not registered
to vote. A follow-up committee is now in operation to see that
these supporters are registered.
NOTE: These results are especially encouraging when it is
noted that Orange County registration favors the Democratic
Party 2 to 1.
Young Republicans
At our urging the Young Republicans have launched a voter
registration drive in the key states. They have hired a
fieldman to work under the direction of Rietz in setting up
drives.
Other
We recommended that Mrs. Julie Eisenhower attend the inauguration
of Republican Jodie Smith, the nation's youngest mayor at age 19.
He defeated an incumbent Democrat in the small village of Ayreshire,
Iowa (pop: 300). When Julie was unable to go we recommended that
a representative be sent, either Jamie McLane of the White House
Staff or a Congressional representative. McLane could not go. We
then suggested to Senator Miller he attend, but the Senator was on
vacation. In the end, a Presidential telegram was dispatched
-5-
under our direction and a proposal for a Presidential phone call
to Smith forwarded to the President by Chuck Colson. The
President called Jody Smith Monday morning at 11:30.
PR/MEDIA
In depth meetings with Cliff Miller and Van Shumway have
been held on the aims and services of the PR/Media operation.
Tom Girard has joined the staff as News Director and has
become integrated into the department.
He has been talking with various people at the Committee and
the White House about a press monitoring apparatus in the
states, and he has some fairly good ideas about what should
be done and hopes to have some solid recommendations in a
week. He has also been fielding press calls and sitting in
with Jeb Magruder on several interviews. Last week he wrote
the reaction statements on Ashbrook for Governor Dwinell and
Governor Peterson.
We prepared (with others) the scenario for the New Hampshire
filing and worked with the Nebraska Chairman on the press
release for their announcement as well as general PR guidance
for their press conference.
We met with Bart Porter regarding the role of PR/Media
operation in the speakers area and have established some
preliminary guidelines for this co-ordination to include
media placement of surrogates by our operation. We will
give a presentation to the advance team at a day's briefing
next week.
We have met with Nancy Steorts to discuss in depth our service
to her women's group for media coverage in women's announce-
ments. We have set strategy and timing including a regional
push for getting good coverage of several women chairmen
announcements, possibilities of feature stories in magazines
and newspapers (Sunday supplements, etc.) aimed for early
summer.
We have discussed the role of Rita Hauser as spokeswoman and
our ability to program her nationally, and also the role of
Barbara Franklin as an adjunct to the campaign.
We are continuing to work with Al Kaupinen to set up additional
state announcements.
-6-
We have learned from Don Oberdorfer about the Washington
Post's internal setup for political coverage next year.
The inside political editor on their desk is Mary Lou
Beatty. Five reporters will comprise the main outside
force: Oberdorfer (with special responsibility for
President Nixon), Dave Broder, George Lardner, Bill Chap-
man, and Haynes Johnson. Oberdorfer did not say what
specific duties the others have, but he did say they may
cross over and do stories in each other's areas. He did.
not mention Ken Clawson's function, but we expect to see
him in this area also.
Don also mentioned that he is doing another year-end piece
on the President in mid-January. He will be in touch with
us on that.
POLITICAL
We have scheduled announcements for our chairmen in Nebraska
on Thursday, January 6; and in Illinois on Monday, January 10.
This will bring the number to seven publicly announced
chairmen.
Additional announcements are scheduled in January for Wisconsin,
Colorado, Maine, Nevada, Connecticut, and Utah. We are ready
for announcements in Arizona, California, South Dakota, South
Carolina, and Florida, but are holding these for various reasons.
By January 10 we will have announced chairmen in 7 states, 12
are ready for announcement and 18 are in the final stages of
setting up; there are 14 states where we are working out
problems.
ADVERTISING
Campaign materials were shipped to New Hampshire on January 3.
A local agency, George Dawson Associates, will be appointed for
placement of media in New Hampshire after the official announce-
ment has been made.
Interviews with key New York agency personnel are continuing.
-7-
JEWISH
The most significant event in our area during the last week
was the series of press stories commencing with the information
that the United States had agreed to sell F4 Phantom Jets to the
Israelis and the reactions to this story by the Administration
and the Israelis. Initial comment is that the commitment made
by the United States is positive and although unknown in detail
to the public, it is satisfactory to the Israelis.
In addition, these stories give a much higher level of public
acceptance to what had only been a vague feeling during the
preceeding weeks that the Phantoms were indeed to be delivered.
Politically, this must be counted as a substantial plus on the
most important issue for the Jewish community.

Voter Registration
Pennsylvania -- In a canvass registration effort in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, the Northeast Young Republican Club contacted 31,200
people in a 13 ward area. Of those people who were willing to
answer the survey questions 50.7 supported the President, 30.4 did
not and 18.9 were undecided. These results are very encouraging
when it is noted that Hubert Humphrey carried each of these wards
in 1968 with percentages ranging from 53% to 78%. Of those persons
who said that they supported the President only about 10% (1,188)
were not registered and most of these were young people. The
Northeast Young Republican Club is following up on these people to
see that they register and vote.
Tennessee -- Registration drives were conducted in 5 Knoxville
area high schools which had a 65% or better Nixon percentage in
1968. Of the 500 eighteen year olds who were registered, approxi-
mately 60% considered themselves Republicans. Of the remaining
40%, a large number considered themselves independents. The
drive received some very. favorable publicity, noting the
Republican Party's interest in registering young people.
California -- 128 precincts were canvassed in the San Diego
area in the months of November and December, and 934 Repub-
licans were registered.
The failure to register large numbers of people in California
points up the problem in asking people whether or not they are
Republicans rather than whether or not they support the
President. In all other states we are basing our initial
canvass on Presidential support, but we have been unable to
convince the California GOP to change their canvass techniques.
In addition, it emphasizes the need to involve volunteers in a
voter registration effort rather than doing it with paid people
as they are in California. We have used volunteers everywhere
else with satisfactory results.
Florida -- More than 25,000 were canvassed and approximately
18,000 people answered the questionnaire in the Orange County
area of Florida. Of these 18,000, 78% or 13,040 answered the
survey questions. Of those who answered the questions, 75%
supported the President and 25% did not. Of the 9,780 who
did support the President almost 1/3 (2,836) were not registered
to vote. A follow-up committee is now in operation to see that
these supporters are registered.
NOTE: These results are especially encouraging when it is
noted that Orange County registration favors the Democratic
Party 2 to 1.
Young Republicans
At our urging the Young Republicans have Launched a voter
registration drive in the key states. They have hired a
fieldman to work under the direction of Rietz in setting up
drives.
Other
We recommended that Mrs. Julie Eisenhower attend the inauguration
of Republican Jodie Smith, the nation's youngest mayor at age 19.
He defeated an incumbent Democrat in the small village of Ayreshire,
Iowa (pop: 300). When Julie was unable to go we recommended that
a representative be sent, either Jamie McLane of the White House
Staff or a Congressional representative. McLane could not go. We
then suggested to Senator Miller he attend, but the Senator was on
vacation. In the end, a Presidential telegram was dispatched
under our direction and a proposal for a Presidential phone call
to Smith forwarded to the President by Chuck Colson. The
President called Jody Smith Monday morning at 11:30.

Honorable Richard M. Nixon

Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. President:
Pursuant to the Florida law concerning the March 14
presidential preference primary, this office has established
a press clipping file which indicates that you are a possible
candidate for the presidential nomination. Enclosed you will
find a copy of a memorandum from Mrs. Dorothy Glisson, the
Director of our Division of Elections. This memorandum covers
the requirements of Florida law in the areas of filing reports
on receiving or spending of any monies or things of value
during the presidential preference primary in March of 1972.
As a candidate for president (also for vice president),
you do not have to file contribution reports for monies you
receive directly. However, Florida law requires that persons,
groups or committees receiving these items or spending monies
in your behalf must file the required documents with our
Division of Elections. I would suggest that you pass this
information along to your Florida organization so that they
may be aware of the legal requirements in this area. They
should also contact the Division of Elections to obtain the
proper reporting forms.
As an additional precaution, we are releasing copies of
this memorandum to the press so that it may receive full
publicity in order to alert campaign personnel of their
responsibilities under the law.
If you have any questions please contact me at any time.

to discuss a statewide voter registration drive. The YR's are
already committed to such a drive and will supply manpower.
California

structure and implementation has begun.
New Hampshire
The full scale registration drive gets under way next week
with emphasis placed on the last two weekends of January.
Registration Results
The Philadelphia Northeast Young Republican Club has been
conducting a voter registration drive under Rietz' direction.
As of Monday, they have contacted 6,934 people and found 45%
supporting the President and 20% not supporting. This is
particularly significant since the wards canvassed by the
YR's all went for Humphrey in 1968.

The poster concept was presented to the campaign strategy
group and met with preliminary approval.

ADVERTISING
Interviews are being conducted this week in New York for
key Task Force Agency Personnel (Creative, Media, Finance,
and Promotion.)
Bumper stickers and buttons are in production for January 3
delivery to New Hampshire. Copy and layout for primary
brochures is being developed.
A decision on a possible documentarian has been delayed until
objectives for films have been thoroughly developed and agreed
upon.
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
This was a week of consolidation. There have been discussions
of the plan of action proposed to Donald Kendall. He will be
in Washington the week of January 3 to review the plan further
and then we shall start our operation.
JEWISH
A survey of the Anglo-Jewish and Israeli press indicates a
growing awareness of the efforts of the Israeli government to
mend and improve relationships with the United States. There
is only negligible discussion of the Phantoms or other arms
and the Jerusalem Post reports that "discussions with Washington
on the resumption of the flow of supersonic warplanes would from
now on be conducted through diplomatic channels, rather than
from the public rostrum. This continues to improve the atmos-
phere for political activities and we can now begin to build a
positive series of programs to gain support.
LEGAL
A contract with the United States International University,
San Diego, California, for housing of Young Voters for the
Re-Election of the President was negotiated with University
counsel and agreement was reached. A contract for polling
services was reviewed, changed, and approved in final form.
Research on new election reform laws continues.
The possible use of the Presidential seal in campaign
advertising was researched, and as a result of that research,
disapproved.
SPOKESMEN RESOURCES
On Tuesday, December 21 a conference was held at the White
House for the purpose of acquainting the schèdulers of the
members of the Cabinet and of the other members of the
Executive Branch of the general campaign strategy. They
were addressed by Messrs. Flemming, Magruder, Porter and
Herge on (1) the political organization, (2) the functional
organization, (3) the Spokesmen Resources Program, and (4)
the scheduling and tour management procedures.
On Wednesday, December 22 a second conference was held for
the purpose of acquainting the agency heads of the general
campaign strategy. The Vice President presided. Jeb Magruder
and Harry Flemming made presentations emphasizing the need for
the agency heads to take as many speaking engagements as pos-
sible, and in the course of these engagements, to obtain as
much media exposure as possible. There was a thorough dis-
cussion of the Spokesmen Resources Program.
During the course of the week, we continued to meet with
representatives of charter aircraft concerns as part of our
overall effort to organize a transportation network for 1972.
Within the next week, we propose to compile the information
and proposals submitted to us and prepare an appropriate
recommendation.
We also continued our series of meetings with various Nixon
State Chairmen for the purpose of acquainting them with the
role of the Spokesmen Resources Program. Our principal
attention was focused on the program for New Hampshire. We
are now working on the schedules for ten events in that State.
POLITICAL
Larry Roos, the St. Louis County Executive, was announced as
our chairman for Missouri on Wednesday, December 22. In
addition to Missouri, we have now publicly announced chairmen
in New Hampshire, Maryland, New York, and Oregon.
-2-
Announcements are scheduled in January for Wisconsin,
Colorado, Nebraska, Illinois, Wyoming, Maine, Nevada,
Connecticut and Utah. In addition, we are ready for
announcements in Arizona, California, South Dakota,
South Carolina, and Florida, but we are holding these
for various reasons.
We now have announced our chairmen in 5 states, 14 are ready
for announcements, 18 in the final stages of' setting up and
there are 14 states where problems are being worked out.
PR/MEDIA
Ann Dore attended the announcement of the Missouri Committee
for the Re-Election of the President in St. Louis on Wednesday,
December 22. Statements from Senator Robert Dole and local
Republican leaders were included in the announcement. The
announcement was covered by 4 TV stations, the Globe-Democrat
and Kansas City Star.
Preliminary work with Al Kaupinen on future announcements
was done including a plan for the month of January. A strong
effort to continue to update the Q and A for the Chairman and
to direct the press releases to various areas of the President's
achievements is being made.
Reports on previous announcements, including press coverage,
were prepared and distributed. A continuing effort to keep in
close communication with announced states is underway. This
will be beneficial as they announce, now, their committee
personnel.
Preliminary work on the New Hampshire filing was begun. We
are servicing requests from New Hampshire for a series of
statements for local GOP dignitaries to release endorsing
the President and a strategy for the New Hampshire Chairman
and press secretary to visit all the media in the state in
mid-January is being discussed.
An in-house clipping service is in the early stages but has
been started with local papers, New York Times, Wall Street
Journal, and the weekly news magazines. Emphasis here will
be on candidates and campaigns.

Tom Girard, who has covered the White House for Metromedia
since September of 1969 has begun as Director of our News
Bureau. Girard, 26, holds a M.S. in Journalism from North-
western University.
WOMEN
Steorts and Hauser met with State Senator Ed Thomas, Nixon
Chairman of Maryland, to discuss organizational plans in
Maryland as they relate to the integrated concept of women
in top positions throughout the campaign.
Again, Senator Thomas was most receptive to the role women
will play in this election and will do his best to bring
some new faces to politics in Maryland. He seems very
cognizant of the power struggle among women who have been
in politics a long time in Maryland. Hopefully, he will be
successful in appointing some new people who will play an
important role in the re-election activities in Maryland.
Roma Spaulding, key women in New Hampshire, reports that
she is holding a meeting of all key women in the state on
December 29 at Concord, New Hampshire. She will introduce
the volunteer program to them.
The manual, "Volunteers for the Re-election of the President,"
is now in its final stage. Included in it are guidelines to
the State Director of Volunteers on how to recruit volunteers,
set up a campaign headquarters, plan political social events,
do door to door canvassing, etc. A copy of this report will
be sent to each Nixon State Chairman and Co-Chairman. Addition-
al copies will be available to the State Co-Chairman for
distribution to other key people as they are appointed.

PAT BUCHANAN
FROM I
H.R. HALDEMAN
The President raised the question yesterday as to what's
happening on the "Bomb Muskie Crew". He feels that all
our speakers, including Goldwater and especially the Vice
President, should be steadily attacking Muskie now, hitting
him on every point that he scores.
There is nothing to be gained in fighting the press from this
point on, but we should be attacking Muskle hard. We should
leave Humphrey and Kennedy alone for now.

Memorandum
To: Herb Klein
From: Charlie McWhorter
Re: 1972 Campaign
In thinking about various arguments which can be advanced on
behalf of the reelection of President Nixon, assuming that in a close
election all positive arguments will be needed, it occurred to me that
we have a possible advantage in picking up the arguments advanced by many
political scientists and others who favor a single, 6-year term of President.
In other words, these people assume that the political requirements of
getting reelected present considerations which adversely affect the single-
minded pursuit of the public interest which would presumably motivate a
President who could not seek reelection.
Whatever the likelihood may be of bringing about such a fundamen-
tal change in the selection of President, it is clear that a second term
for President Nixon would, theoretically, permit him to concentrate ex-
clusively on the public interest since he could not be a candidate for a
third term. This type of argument should certainly be persuasive with
those who have written in support of a single 6-year term and those persons
can be easily identified. In addition, however, there will be many people
writing about the 1972 campaign and trying to sound thoughtful and relative-
ly free from partisanship. These types of people should also be urged by
whatever means seems most appropriate to take into account the fact that
President Nixon in his first term of office has demonstrated an ability to
provide dramatic and effective leadership on key issues; that his task was
made even more difficult because of the need for a reelection campaign in
1972, and the difficulties he faced with a Democrat-controlled Congress;
and that the likelihood would be that a second Nixon Administration would
permit the President an even greater freedom to offer the kind of leader-
ship which the country needed.

Mr. Robert H. Reno
95 North Main Street
Concord, New Hampshire 03301
Dear Bob:
Thank you for your letter of January 3 concerning the
campaign suggestions you had made last November. While I
understand the spirit in which you raised those suggestions
last year, I was simply not in a position to answer ques-
tions about a campaign before we had an announced candidate.
While I cannot speak for the President, as the Chairman
of the New Hampshire Committee for the Re-election of the
President, I can state the Committee's position. Permit me
to address the 7 points you raised one by one.
1. Debates - I must refer you to the President's state-
ments on CBS television on January 2 and in his January 4 letter
to me. In both those instances, the President stated quite
clearly that the responsibilities of the Presidency, particu-
larly in 1972 when events of major importance to the future are
occurring, preclude his participation in public, partisan
activities before the Republican National Convention. This,
of course, means that he will be unable to campaign in New
Hampshire in any way.
2. Billboards - I am in total agreement with your sug-
gestion not to use billboard advertising during the New Hampshire
campaign. From the outset it has been our intention not to use
billboards in New Hampshire.
3. Television advertising - I found the importance you
attach to television advertising somewhat surprising. Perhaps
our philosophies on how best to approach the people of New Hamp-
shire are at variance. Television advertising will not be a major
part of our campaign. We plan to seek support in New Hampshire on
a people-to-people basis.
4. Disclosure - I can assure you that the New Hampshire Com-
mittee for the Re-election of the President will comply fully
with the letter and spirit of all laws relating to disclosure
of campaign contributions.
Mr. Robert H. Reno
Page 2
5. Candidacy announcements - As you know, the President has
announced his intention to seek renomination.
6-7. Compliance with the law and party by laws - I can
assure you that the committee which I head will comply fully
with all the laws of New Hampshire and with the By Laws of
the Republican State Committee as I am fully confident you
will do.
As we are both convinced, I am sure, that the interests
of the country will be best served by continued Republican
administration, perhaps we could agree at this point that
whomever the Republican Party should nominate in August for
the Presidency, you and I will give him our unqualified support.
I will be most pleased to receive your agreement to this
point at the earliest opportunity.
Sincerely yours,
Lane Dwinell

ISTS. Dwinell & Whalen:
think. it would be worthwhile if the three of us could sit down
other at the earliest opportunity, with the hope that we might
with agreement on certain aspects of the 1972 Presidential primary
bereby establish new standards for both this state and the
#: behalf of Congressman Paul N. McCloskey, Jr., I suggest the
rellowing:
1. A debate of the issues by President Nixon and Mr. McCloskey,
... ferebly on Sunday, February 27, 1972. It is probable that the major
**Javision networks would cooperate in this, and it would give the
of New Hampshire a unique opportunity to judge the merits of the
mudicates' positions.
Agreement that neither President Nixon nor Mr. McCloskey will
advertising during the compaign. This would in
both conditions have made to cours
probs who are interested in preventing any further descoration
the New Hampshire landscape.
3. Agreement that neither candidate will use television adver-
Firesaments of less than five minutes duration.
:
Agreement that both candidates will disclose the names and
FOS of all contributors to their New Hampshire campaigns and
New Hampshire committees supporting their candidacies, and
of contributions.
1.
\gurrement that each candidate should declare his candidacy
repshire by January 1, 1972, to assure that each will have
amount of free radio and television time.
-2-
6. agreement that both candidates will comply with both the
letter and the spirit of RSA 57:5 and 6 and RSA 56:28 and will not
encourage or condone the filing of a declaration of candidacy by
regione who declares himself to be favorable to a designated candi-
of to when be is not in fact favorable to that candidate.
7. Agreement that all concerned will comply with both the letter
and the spirit of the By Laws of the Republican State Committee.
By reaching agreement on these principles, we can restore a
mild mile amount of integrity and dignity to the electoral process
11.1 establish a precedent which may well be emulated across the nation,
beth Republicans and Democrats.
T will be grateful for an early response.

Dear Lane:
On November 29, 1971, I wrote to you and Bob Whalen
vita some suggestions about certain aspects of the 1972
"residential Primary. Several days later, I talked with
you on the phone, and later that same day, I talked with
sob Whalen. He indicated that he thought these matters
were primarily ones for you and me to discuss.
I take it from our telephone conversation that you
have little interest in any of the suggestions I made.
The press has been after me for some time about some of the
points - particularly disclosure of campaign contributions
and a possible debate between President Nixon and Congress-
man McCloskey. I have held them off, with non-committal
answers on these things, wanting to give you a full oppor-
10 respond to my letter. I feel that I will not be
i. to bold them off much longer and will have to respond
in Uneir inquiries sometime in the near future.
Best personal regards.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: TELEPHONE OPERATION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
A major facet of our strategy for the New Hampshire Primary Campaign
will be a comprehensive telephone canvass designed to reach every
registered Republican in the state. It will be closely coordinated
with the direct mail effort to maximize the overall impact on the
voter. The operational plan which follows has been reviewed in
detail and approved by Governor Dwinell and Allan Walker in New
Hampshire.
The telephone lists will be developed from the address list already
in hand and being processed for direct mail. Volunteers are now
looking up the telephone numbers for each Republican household.
The purpose of the telephone canvass will be to assure that each
GOP household is contacted personally by the New Hampshire Committee
for the Re-election of the President. The voter will be asked if his
vote can be counted upon on March 7. The responses will be separated into
three major categories: Those supporting the President, those opposed
(grouped according to support of Ashbrook or McCloskey) and those unde-
cided. The supporters will be next contacted during the Get-Out-The-
Vote operation. The unfavorables will not be contacted again. The
undecided voters will be asked if information could be sent to them on
a specific issue to better explain the President's accomplishments. If
so, a personalized, computer letter will be sent, along with the appro-
priate issue brochure. A follow-up telephone call will be made to assure
that the brochure was received, and to determine if they now support the
President. If so, they will be included in the Get-Out-The-Vote list.
The data handling operation to accomplish this activity will utilize separate
name cards for each household. They can be physically sorted according to
the results of the telephone call. For the follow-up mailing to undecided

voters, the cards will be processed by computer to generate the
personalized letter.
Operational Plans. We have identified a woman in New Hampshire, Mrs.
Marie Baker, who is well-qualified to manage the telephone operation.
She handled a similar project for the Nixon primary campaign in 1968.
Both Governor Dwinell and Allan Walker recommend her highly, and our
people have been impressed in their meetings with her.
If the proposed program is approved, Marie will be willing to serve
without pay, but with expenses covered. She is prepared to start
recruiting volunteers, securing headquarters, and hiring supervisors
as needed. She will attend the coffees which Mrs. Roma Spaulding is
conducting around the state to seek volunteers.
After estimating the probable number of calls to be made, number of
recalls necessary, and the availability of volunteers, the best distri-
bution of telephone "boiler rooms" throughout the state was found to
be as follows:

SPANISH SPEAKING FOR NIXON
Alex Armendaris - December 17, 1971
A special crepaign effort directed to Spanish Speaking voters in the
coming election can prove to be very profitable for the Nixon campaign.
It is my opinion, however, that it will take careful planning, starting
immediately.
The basic premise held by some, that Nixon can win the Spanish Speaking
vote, is pure folly, if that means that even a slight majority of the
Spanish Speaking vote will be on the Republican side. It is, however,
possible to make a significant gain for Nixon on the Spanish Speaking
vote which is normally counted on by Democrats. To accomplish the
breakthrough, we must adopt a plan designed to take the right message
to the right place.
An analysis of available data should be adequate preparation to design
a campaign plan on how to appeal to the Spanish Speaking vote.
The Spanish Speaking population can be narrowed down to a specific group
that is most likely to vote for Richard Nixon. Specially designed ap-
peals would be carried out by public officials, prominent citizens and
others supporting Richard Nixon. Those carrying the appeals to the voters
would be carefully chosen for receptiveness. All major speeches in be-
half of or supporting the President, appealing to Spanish Speaking voters,
would be cleared for sensitivity and effect to the group being addressed.
Areas of "responsive groups" would be identified well in advance to in-
sure planned appearances.
In short, we would be conducting the best possible campaign by communi-
cating specially designed messages to selected audiences, who we feel
are prepared to receive these messages.
A study that I have proposed to OEO, "Study of Value Structure Among
Several Spenish-/merican Cultural Subgroups", will yield valuable infor-
mation to make Federal anti-poverty programs more effective in meeting
the needs of the Spanish-speaking poor. Beyond providing information
for anti-poverty advinistrators, however, the results of this study can
be of immense value to helo us design a campaign strategy capable of
cepturing the Spanish Speaking vote in 1972.
0
Generally speaking, there are two types of survey research: one measures
the superficial or surface attitudes, the other attempts to probe and
identify the "value structure" of an individual. In the context of this
project, the difference between these two types of survey research is
most crucial.
Survey research to capture surface attitudes will be unreliable in terms
of predicting the voting behavior next November, which is too far removed.
in time. Noreover, that type of survey would tend to yield unreliable
information, since the questions are usually phrased in terms of simplified.
"either-or" hypothetical propositions which tend to influence the outcome
of the survey.
The survey I have recommended is designed to probe deeper and identify the
"value structure", thus producing results which more accurately reflcct
Spanish Speaking persons' longer lasting opinions and orientations. This
survey data will be extremely valuable to us because it will more effec-
tively indicate voter behavior next November.
The "Spanish Speaking Survey" that I have proposed is not a political sur-
vey. It is a survey designed to identify the "value structure" of the
Spanish Speaking American. The information gathered in the survey will be
of vital importance to the campaign because it will allow US to identify
those issues with which the Spanish Speaking voter identifies. Hence, we
can zero in on the themes which occupy the Spanish Speaking voter's mind.
Then, we can phrase arguments in a manner which will strike a sympathetic
cord in the voter and influence the behavior of the voter where it counts:
at the polls.
Briefly stated, the approach would be as follows. The survey would seek
to discover. deep-rooted and enduring values in each subgroup (Mexican
American, Puerto Rican, Cuban, etc.) of the Spanish Speaking. Once these
values are identified, a campaign strategy can be constructed in which we
would direct the thrust of the campaign (in solected Spanish Speaking
communities) toward identifying with the same value structure as those
in that area. Thus, the first part of our approach is two-phased: first
to identify the values and second to communicate effectively President
Nixon's values or at least his articulated position as being the same as
the target vote.
The effective impact of value-based messages is enhanced by presenting
images, policies, and programs related to the basic action-oriented com-
munity desires and by couching these messages in the vocabulary and
favorite phrtses of the terget group. The personal value information
generated from this survey will come complete with the detailed language
in which the target group actually voiced its own value orientations.
In concert vid this overall approach, it is 00 intention to syste-
matically recai- and initity Lee prive areas waterin our sppeals
should be made. Hich the USE of the 1370 census data, and with the
electoral objectives in mind, We can develop 2 profile of key Spanish
Speaking in proper In this via we can concen-
trate this special campaign effort 00 those areas where a slight
shift in voting pattorns CEN affect the outsome of the election.
By working from on identified value structure and special campaign
appeals specifically designed to the desires, expectations, and hopes
of the selected Spanish-Arerican groups of interest, this plan will
succeed.

Re: New Hampshire and Politics, 1971
Wayne and I, as YAF's representatives to the Manbattan
Conspiracy, have been sharing in the planning of events over the
past few days at such a rate that we have not been given an opportunit
to brief you on what Movement Conservatives are planning with regard
to the 1972 Presidential campaign. In fact, with the exception of
sporadic phone calling, I have not even had a formal discussion with
the Policy Committee over theenclosed matters. Therefore, please
read the enclosed carefully. I will present the total picture,
inductively. I must have a response from all of you.
As you recall, last July 27th, a statement was signed in
Manhattan suspending support for President Nixon. It was hoped at
that time that forceful, internal pressure by so-called Administration
conservatives, prostrate before the President with the suspension
statement in their teeth, could plead the President back to a G.O.P.
policy course - the one outlined in the '68 Platform. However, various
indications (See below) led our original group to conclude that the
President is, at best, taking conservatives for granted or; at worst,
is beyond the point of approach, that conservative influence in the
administration is vestigial and continuing to fossilize.
At the October meeting of the National Board, you and I shared
deliberations and vengeful resolutions over what could be done. Our
longrange goals, however, remained inconclusive pending the meeting
of the Manhattan Conspiracy. Well, last week Wayne and I attended
that meeting (November 30, in New York City). I think it is important
that I give you a concise analysis of the meeting before going
further:
Of the fifteen attendees, the individuals who formerly were more
apologetic for many of President Nixon's ventures in vacilation are
nov 'fed up. ( For your information, since someone evidently. leaked
this to the Washington Post, the attendees included: William Rusher,
Jerry Harkins, Jeff Bell of /CU, Wayne, myself, Neal Freeman,
James Burnham, Allan Ryskind, Thomas Winter, J. Daniel Mahoney,
Bill Buckley, Frank Meyer, Stan Evens and two individuals who remain
incognito. ) Two reports which were presented to the meeting have
special relevance here. Onerges by Allan Ryshind, editor of Human
Events, who had had a meeting with a very high administration offici
- 2 - -
After many hours of discussion with Allan presenting demands
to this administration spokesman, demands we drew up previously as
an absolute minimum requirement for conservative support of Nixon in
1972, we received the following assurances:
1) The Family Assistance Plan, if not pushed in Congress before
the 1972 elections, will definitely be pushed personally by
the President during his second term. It will remain the
same plan previously drawn up by Moynihan. As to the TURIOT
conservatives were hearing that the FAP would be shelved:
It cannot be shelved. "The start off plans and initial
allocations are already in the budget, and nothing can be
done to take them out. 11 (sic)
2) No promise or even "an encouraging word" about Vice Presiden
Agnew's status on the ticket.
3) No assurance that the sdministration would support the
Veto by individual state governors (e.g. Reagan) of O.E.O.
programming in their respective states.
4) Concerning discussion over future Supreme Court nominations,
assuming for example that William O. Douglas or one of the
other Court Liberals resigns during the second Nixon term as
is expected: The administration's idea of a 'strict
constructionist' (their term), William Rogers.
5) Concerning the Federal Reserve Board: the President agrees
with his "economic" advisors that the solution is one of
expanding our money supply. Meanwhile, no effort (effort,
mind you) will be made to cut the budget in Fiscal 1972.
6) The administration will be in favor of a continuation of
the Cuban Embargo, "at this time. 11 (Shades of Nixon & China)
However, there will be no mention of it in the State of the
World address, the President's manifesto on foreign policy.
6) Other foreign policy initiatives by the administration
are "still in formulation. "
In short, conservatives have no assurances from the White House
on any domestic or foreign issue, not even the hint of promises
which the administration could then, 25 is the tradition, break
next year. Dr. Kissinger, after many long communications with him,
has assured us that nothing can be assured. At most, the levels of
our present strategic balance can be maintained at 1970 levels in
the future. No effort will be made to raise our cepabilities to near
- over -
- 3 -
Soviet levels by appealing to Congress for, it is feared, the
President may be politically defeated on the issue and thus
harm his relations with that august body. It is now clear that the
policy of American defensive strength will not be the policy of
the Nixon administration: Everything seems to be banked on a clever
balance-of-power rivalry between Red China and the Soviet Union.
( Not only is the risk one of manmoth proportions, but even Dr.
Kissinger is beginning to realize - and is inplying such to Bill
Buckley - that the politics by the players of Geneva is more
sophisticated than that played by the participants of Carlsbad. )
Finally, the administration will not pursue any new experimental
items (e.g. F F-111) for fear it would jeopardize SALT, not tomention
the salesof UNESCO postage stamps.
After hearing this fatalistic report, we then heard Jerry
Harkins ( who, by the way, I have good reason to know is definitely
not an agent of John Mitchell ) give US his indepth report:
In capsule, Harkins noted the following: 1) If Nixon is re-elected
in 1972, the chances of a Republican winning in 1976 will be
minimal. ( Harkins, along with many other experienced political
analysts, is convinced that Nixon's second term will be worse than
the first in the sense that his policies will be less-Republican,
that the spirit in the Republican party will wane and divide even
more dramatically than it did after the 1956 term of Eisenhower. )
2) Conservatives have a tendency to over-estimate the competence and
capabilities of Nixon's advisors.
If a Conservative should oppose Nixon in the following
primaries, this is the run-down (i.e., a median between optimistic
and pessimistic accounts) :
NEW HAMPSHIRE: 10 - 27% (maybe more)- Conservative/Nixon, remain
less - 10% (max.) - McCloskey
INDIANA: 15 - 35% -- Conservative / ditto
10%
- McCloskey
WISCONSIN: 10 - 20% ... Conservative/ ditto
CALIFORNIA: 15 - 30% - Conservative / ditto
FLORIDA: 10 - 30% - Conservative / ditto
ILLINOIS: 10-15% - Conservative/ ditto
NEBRASKA: 10-25% - Conservative/ ditto
OREGON: 8 - 20% - Conservative/ ditto
Harkins note! that the variable factor (i.e., why a conservati
would get a low of 8% or a high of 35%, maybe more in any primary)
depends on conventional possibilities: if Goldwater and Tower
stump the states for Nixon, campsigning against the conservative;
the activity of Bill Buckley, campaigning for the conservative;
how many workers we recruit, etc.
- over -
- 4 -
After a suggestion by one of the attendees, asking if it would
not be best if conservatives simply did nothing in 1972, neither
work for or against Nixon and, thus, not have to risk heavy losses
in the primaries; Harkins noted the following. Grassroots
Republicans, especially in states like California, Illinois and
others are de-spirited. If there is no physical means of registering
their disapproval of the President, if there is no alternative open
for at least a protest vote, these people will simply give up their
political involvement. ( I added, by the way, that I think
conservative strength, young and old, will dissipate to a new low
if we remain passive. )
The following options were considered and evaluated:
Running candidates in the primaries and/or in the general election
under the banner of a '1972 Party' ( Bill Buckley's idea for a title,
denoting that we do not desire a permatent third party but operate
under the temporary assumption that there is not now a second one. )
It is evident that Nixon will not be beater at the Republican
Convention, especially with Governor Reagan committed to him,
unless Nixon did so poorly in the primaries that an excuse could be
provided for Reagan's direct opposition.
An article by William Rusher, to be printed shortly in NR,
was distributed to all the attendees, presenting his own reasons
why, because of what has been said and because of longrange
considerations, Nixon must be beaten in 1972. ( I share Rusher's
viewpoint, although it is not a universal one at this point.
Unfortunately, space here will not allow a full treatment. I will
mail you the article once I receive it. Also, we will discuss this
further at the Board meeting. ) "Better for conservatives to be
battling Democrats than to be rolled over and gassed to eternal rest
by Republicans." Also, consider this: A Democratic victory in 1972
would leave a Republican Party which, in 1976, would be headed by
(?) Jin Buckley.
As for formal support of a Democrat? The suggestion by Harkins,
Buckley, etc. was no. Discussions were held with Jackson and Yorty.
Both insist that formal endorsements and active support by real
conservatives would be the kiss of death for either. Both are given
little chance of the nomination, especially Yorty. ( Practical
Politics, speaking! ) Neither could be identified with
us, even though their respective administrations would probably be
better than Nixon's - all things considered.
Thus 2. the final conclusion of the 3roup:
- over -
- 5 -
Run in primaries with the open option, later to be decided,
to also run in the general election! Thus, conservatives could
have a vehicle for expression. ( In any event, Bill Buckley refuses
to be a candidate. We coaned; we threatened; we pleaded! The best
we could get out of him was typical: "You elect me, and I'll serve.
However, Buckley is pessimistic about Nixon. Thus, if Nixon does not
improve "a Hell of a lot" by September, Buckley will hold a press
conference at which he vill say he is not voting for Tricky and will
actively campaign to instruct other Americans that they do likewise.
This does not mean Americans should stoop to Wallace or the
Democrat. People could write-in their next door neighbors or vote
for the conservative candidate, should we have one.)
After much discussion, Congressman John Ashbrook was proposed
as the candidate in New Hampshire with a minimum budget of $100, 000.
A committee was formed, to represent the Manhattan Conspiracy in
asking Ashbrook to run, consisting of Rusher, Winter and Docksai.
The three of us had lunch with the Congressman last Weds., in
Washington. Pending Bill Buckley's commitment to actively support
Ashbrook in New Hampshire, the Congressmen will probably make
the run. I should know in three OZ four days.
I will be sending you other, shorter reports of developments.
In the meantime, since Ashbrook has not yet given us a definite
answer, I would appreciate receiving mailed responses from you
as to the wisdom of his running, how much you as a Board member
will do, etc. ( I have already contacted key YAF leaders in
New England for Γ. full logistics report; Danny Rea and Ron

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
THROUGH: JEB S. MAGRUDER
SUBJECT: Office Security
Now that the President is an announced candidate, and we have offices
on five floors of this building, it is felt we should step up our
security measures to include the following. These proposals have
been discussed with our security advisor, Jack Caulfield, and Gordon
Liddy, and all will strongly recommend their approval.
1.
We presently have a guard who patrols the various suites from
4:00 p.m. until midnight five days a week. He checks the office for
unauthorized visitors, confidential papers which might be left out,
unlocked desks, etc. His salary is $7,500. We propose that this
guard force be increased so that we have 24 hour a day, seven day a
week protection, and so that these suites would be constantly under
guard. Such protection will involve the use of four men on a full
time basis, and one man on a part time basis, and would cost about
$30,000 for the duration of the campaign, an increase of $22,500
over what we are paying for protection now. It is recommended that
we go to this full time protection effective immediately.

2. It is recommended that we lease a radio receiver which, from one
location within this building, has the ability to monitor all radio
signals on a 24 hour basis which might be transmitted as a result of
"bugs" or telephone taps. The usual leasing rate for such a receiver
is $600 per month --- but we will be able to lease one for $195 per
month.

3. It is recommended that our security advisor, James McCord, the
former director of physical security for the CIA, be brought to our
staff full time so that he would be able to devote all his time to
supervision of the guard force here as well as other security meas-
ures. In addition, he would regularly inspect your Watergate apart-
ment. We are currently paying him $7,500 per year as a consultant,
and propose to bring him to our payroll at $20,000 per year. His
salary at the CIA was $32,000. Liddy and Caulfield join me in recom-
mending that this be done, and agree that $20,000 is a proper salary.
McCord's resume is attached.

MEMORANDUM TO:
FROM:
PETER H. DAILEY
SUBJECT:
Documentary Films -- Convention and Campaign
It is vitally important that the objectives and use of films be
agreed upon in advance, prior to making a major financial commit-
ment. As of now, there are diverse thoughts as to what type and
how many films are needed.
The need for documentary type film during the convention is gener-
ally agreed upon. The use of a film documentary during the campaign
period is still under discussion. You could help us clarify our
thinking by giving us your thoughts on the subject as to style,
length, usage, and scheduling of such a film.
Some points for your consideration:
1. Length
Half-hour VS. hour: is an hour the proper length, or too
long? Are two half-hours better than one one-hour?
2. Subject Matter
A film on foreign policy only? A review of the first
three years in office, including both domestic and foreign
policy? How should issues and/or accomplishments be weighted,
i.e., the war, the economy, drugs, crime, busing, taxes, etc?
Should the film concentrate on personal qualities of the
President? If so, which? A documentary is historical in
its perspective. Will the campaign in the final stages, need
more weight on the current aspects of the Administration?
-2-
3. Style
The President, as the incumbent, will have large television
exposure in general news coverage. In the 1968 campaign that
exposure was controlled to a great degree by the campaign
committee. How is a dichotomy avoided between the controlled
documentary and general TV coverage.
4. Usage and Scheduling
When should the film be used? In your opinion, when should
the film(s) be scheduled for greatest impact?
For the convention, these films have been planned:
1. Foreign Policy
2. The First Lady
3. Presidential Promises Kept
While the use is somewhat different, should the films (except the
First Lady) be handled differently in style or thrust than the
major documentary, if one is to be made.
Do you agree with this subject matter? If not, what do you believe
the convention films should be.
Please consider the questions raised as guidelines only. We will
appreciate any comments you wish to make.
It would be most helpful if your reply could be in our hands by
January 15.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: Activities Surrounding the "Friends of
Richard Nixon" Program
The "Friends" program was initiated by Representative Tom
Little of Delaware and Fred Slight working under Anne
Armstrong of the RNC about September of this year. Ken
Rietz attended the first planning meeting and offered all
assistance necessary to make the program a success. He
asked in particular to see an initial agenda so that
follow-up could begin on securing speakers. Repeated calls
to Slight yielded no agenda and Rietz was informed that
everything was going well. When Ken Smith came aboard
(November 2) to handle our speaker's bureau he met with
Little and Slight to discuss the program and they assured
him that all was well and going according to plan. He, too,
offered assistance although the only time he was called upon
in November was to recommend to Slight a choice among two
potential speakers for each of seven briefing sessions. This
he did and again offered to help getting the schedule arranged.
By coincidence (about December 1) Smith came across a schedule
proposal for the President meeting with the group sent by
McLane of the White House staff. Smith was sitting with Steve
Bull (of Dwight Chapin's staff) discussing another matter and
mentioned the schedule proposal - a proposal dated November 29,
only two weeks before the event was to take place - and Bull
had never seen it. A quick check was made and it was found
the President's schedule had not been cleared in advance and he
would not be in the country at the time. Smith advised Little
and Slight of this. Little was in favor of canceling the event
since most of the participants were led to believe that the
President would be present to meet with them. (The disappointment
-2-
of the participants was evident throughout the session and was
fueled by the President's brief return and subsequent departure
from Washington on the morning of the last day.) Under your
direction the program was continued.
It was at this point that we began to take charge of speakers
arrangements as Slight finally realized that little preparation
had been done and he decided to cooperate. Ken Smith took over
the scheduling of the speakers, arranging the White House tour
and the Vice President's meeting with the "Friends." The RNC
error of not making the requests for the President, the White
House and the Vice President, however, caused problems right
to the end.
Smith did get all the speakers that were asked for (Ehrlichman,
Tarr, Droge, Morton, Blatchford, Rumsfeld and Dent) and pursued
the possibility of getting Julie to guide the White House tour
and to get the Vice President's commitment to participate. It
should be noted here that neither the request for Julie's parti-
cipation, the White House tour or that of the Vice President had
made it to their attention by the time Smith entered the picture.
The problem of trying to rejuggle the obviously full schedules of
all concerned was an impossible task.
Smith, working closely with Dave Parker, Mike Farrell and Steve
Bull, got good cooperation, but the uncertainty surrounding the
President's trip and the full schedule of the White House for the
desired day (December 15) kept things in a holding pattern right
up to the morning of the 15th. This also kept the Vice President's
schedule in an uncertain position until that time which did cause
some irritation. (The focal point of that was use of the White
House by the Vice President if the President did, as was finally
the case, leave. At 12:00, Wednesday, the decision was made that
the President would go to Key Biscayne. Both Farrell and Parker
maintain John Damgard - of the Vice President's staff - was advised
that the Vice President could use the White House for the 5:00
meeting with the "Friends." Damgard, however, told Smith that he
was not advised of that until Smith called him at about 2:00. At
that point Damgard felt they were locked into using the Indian
Treaty Room - a place much disliked for its poor acoustics and
atmosphere. That the Vice President's staff felt they were slighted
is the source of the irritation.)
-3-
In other actions taken by us, we have put the "Friends" on the
White House mailing list for fact sheets, speeches, etc. Also,
a telegram from the President was prepared, sent to Senator Dole
and read to the assembled group at the final reception by Anne
Armstrong. We will follow up to see that a letter from the
President to each "Friend" is sent in addition to a letter from
Rietz offering our assistance. Of course the "Friends" will be
used in our scheduling for local requests to fill small group
requests for the President in their areas.
It should be noted that during the entire proceedings our Committee
was rarely referred to. No one here was on the speakers list until
Smith asked Slight if Rietz was in fact introduced then but was cut
off after perhaps five minutes - and at a time when many questions
were being asked.
Overall, I think the program was a solid success. Without exception
the group was impressed by the briefings and the caliber of speakers
and pleased by the high level attention paid to them. The problem
over disappointment with the absence of the President was the major
minus, particularly since they were drawn here with the prospect of
meeting the President. Still, at the final reception, the disappoint-
ment - while still there - seemed to be quite muted and they left
with a sense of mission and with enthusiasm. The follow-up is
absolutely crucial and we shall watch over it closely.
(FYI: the CBS morning news, December 16, had an excellent clip
of the Vice President's appearance - standing ovations at both
ends, a clip of his remarks about not giving up on the campuses
and that he would go on them to try to help in communication. The
disappointment of the President not being able to meet with them
was noted, but the enthusiasm of the group was a solid plus.)
Our involvement in this program emphasizes the problems Rietz
has had working with Slight at the RNC. There is no feeling of
cooperation and Slight continues to try to "end run" Rietz. He
seems to place more importance on maintaining control and getting
credit than he does on the success of the endeavor. He has
nowhere near the understanding of the youth situation and what
needs to be done that is necessary and is more of a hindrance
than a help to Rietz.

SUBJECT:
Youth Speaking and Your Memo
of December 21.
Attached is the section of our weekly report of December 13
that outlines our efforts in placing speakers before youth
groups.
Now that we have a system for filling requests and creating
youth appearances, we will need more speakers. Rietz
has suggested that more staff people from the White House
be made available -- especially those who will relate to
young audiences. We should pursue the idea of creating
a White House speaking corps of younger staff members.
Rietz and Ken Smith will set up training sessions and start
scheduling these speakers after we receive a list of those
who are available for increased exposure and travel.
On your second point, I'm not sure it is appropriate now
to stress the popularity of Lindsay among young people.
That creates a negative feeling about our own campaign
when we are trying to build a positive youth effort.

SPEAKERS BUREAU
WHITE HOUSE: With the change in responses to letters requesting
a Presidential appearance from a flat turndown to a "but could
someone else" reply, we are now deep into filling almost all the
requests, most of which are for the Spring. We are also building
a file of open date Presidential requests so that we can program
a tour by an appropriate spokesman to cover 3-4 at a time. We are
coordinating the timing of these tours for maximum impact with
particular emphasis on the primary states. The best example is
the recommended strategy to put Goldwater, Rockefeller, Brooke
and Brock into New Hampshire to fill invitations to the President
from colleges.
As noted, most of these requests will start being filled after
January 1. However, Richard Chaput has spoken at the University
of New Hampshire, Lee Huebner at the Associated. Collegiate Press
(high school journalists), Pat Buchanan (by telephone hookup) to
several lecture classes at Washington State. Rep. William Steiger
will speak at Wisconsin State (at Whitewater) and Stan Thomas at
the Texas Junior College Teachers Convention. Under this system
memos from Colson have gone out to Secretaries Rogers, Richardson,
and Morton as well as Henry Kissinger requesting that they appear
at a total of 15 campuses inthe next 3 months; all would be filling
Presidential requests. Also, we have recommended Presidential
appearances at the Southern Universities Student Government
Association, the New Jersey Association of High School Councils
and Brigham Young University. These will all be filled by other
speakers, should the President be unable to attend. More recommenda-
tions for Presidential appearances will be forthcoming. At this time more
than 40 invitations are being checked out for appropriateness as to
event and speaker.
Another area of requests we hve begun picking up on is that of White
House tours and briefings for groups of young people. Several of these
are currently being arranged in line with the desire to put as many
young people as possible through the White House and to appeal directly
to them by means of a briefing and a short Q and A session.
CONGRESSIONAL ADVISORY BOARD
We are now receiving each member's monthly schedule and are beginning
to program appearances by them to fill Presidential and other requests.
Ken Smith has asked them all, if possible, to offer open weekends in the
coming months, as Rep. Steiger has done - so that Smith can begin
putting together tours for those weekends of various appearances.

FROM:

Though there seems to be some discrepancy between Ken Rietz
and Jamie McLane, in fact, there is no inconsistency.
Jamie was referring to a general registration drive which
is currently being carried out in San Diego to enlist all
voters since the new Mayor, Pete Wilson, is involved in a
special election.
There is no "young voter" registration being carried out in
California because of the lack of leadership and organization.

Jeb Magruder and members of his staff
General Haig and John Lehman of the National Security Council Staff made
a presentation outlining our current strategic national security posture
and briefly describing the President's China trip.
During the course of the NSC presentation our current national security
posture was analyzed in light of its likely impact upon conservative
voters. The point of view expressed by the members of the NSC staff was
that despite optimistic projections from the Department of Defense about
CONFIDENTIAL
-2-
the political defensability of the current strategic situation, there
are no clear-cut figures with which to justify our "supremacy." They
made the point that if our position is measured strictly in compari-
son with our position four years ago, the Administration has not im-
proved our comparative strategic posture.
If the President faces a strenuous challenge from the right then the
problems which would be posed would include the erosion of conservative
voter strength and enthusiasm, the erosion of financial support, and
finally, the secondary negative impact on the campaign generally which
the perception of an erosion of support might have. It was, pointed
out that one of the key questions which will determine the impact of
the issue will be the possibility that it might be picked up as an
issue which will have appeal to the electorate generally similar to the
"missile gap" issue in the 1960 campaign.
Various means for defending the Administration's actions were discussed.
Measures which the Administration is already undertaking will be re-
flected in an increased Defense budget. In addition, the Administration
has at several points during the past four years made hard decisions
such as supporting the ABM, the Amchitka blast, and investing in the
MIRV system. Thus, it would seem unlikely that the contenders on the
left of the President would be able to credibly seize the issue of the
missile gap in the 1972 campaign.
In addition to getting out the line on the President's accomplishments,
it was suggested that there are several alternative courses of action
which are available to the Administration. One alternative lies in the
opportunity to take action to improve our strategic posture. The risk
of this action would be that it would allow the conservative critics to
maintain that the Administration may have acted, but with "too little
too late." A second possible risk is that the last minute action to im-
prove our strategic credibility to conservative voters is the liability
which such actions might have with the electorate as a whole.
A second course of action which is available to the President is that of
amplifying the Administration's criticism of Congressional obstruction
of the President's military recommendations. Congressional budgetary
actions in particular have contributed to the decline in the defense
posture. The voting records of many of the key contenders can be used
to demonstrate that the President has been hindered by Democrats. The
risk of this course of action would be that of leaving the Administration
open to criticism that its recommendations themselves were not big enough
or strenuously enough pursued. Also, some of the contenders have not ob-
structed the Administration's recommendations and may in some cases have
backed stronger recommendations themselves.
