PHIL JOANOU
SUBJECT:
Brochure
Attached is a first proof of the volunteers kit which was
presented at the January 24 strategy meeting. The copy for
the inserts is still in the works.
The purpose of this brochure is to provide detailed information
on the issues, provide flexibility in that the inserts can be
changed quickly and at low cost to encourage volunteers.
Additionally, the inserts will be used to follow-up telephone
calls on specific issues.
We plan to proceed with production on the brochure on February 3.

NEEDS
PRESIDENT
NIXON
AND
THE
PRESIDENT
NEEDS
YOU.
How you can help.
You can play an important role in the re-election of the President.
Here's how:
1. Volunteer your services to your local campaign headquarters. There
are many areas where skills are needed, such as
Help to incorporate into the campaign, party auxiliary organizations
(Y.R.'s, C.R.'s, etc.)
Help incorporate community organizations (Rotary, Elks, etc.)
Help gather basic political information.
Help conduct voter identification canvass.
Help conduct selective registration drive.
Help with fund raising.
Help conduct special drives on absentee, sick, disabled voters.
Help conduct voter turnout drive.
Help insure ballot security.
or, you can help in scheduling events, organizing files, operating the
headquarters, organizing younger voters.
2.
Organize a neighborhood coffee klatch and discuss the upcoming
campaign, the President's record, and the vital issues facing this
country today. In this kit you will find fact sheets on these issues that
can be used to guide the discussion.
3.
Call ten friends and ask for their support for the President. Ask them
to call ten more.
4. Talk up the President with your friends (nothing succeeds better than
word of mouth advertising).
5.
Use a bumper sticker on your car. Wear a button. Make your support
of the President known.
6.
Make sure you and your friends register.
7.
Make sure you vote on election day.
You don't need past political experience to help re-elect the President!

responsibilities between Evans and McLane on aging. It is
good as a draft; it needs some further refinement and per-
haps a little juggling back and forth. Also, it does not re-
vieli Keller
cognize the inevitable overlap. Some things that Bud will
be doing politically are also things which McLane must be
involved in substantively. That is where working relation-
ships simply have to evolve and can hardly be dictated in a
memo. But, as I say, this is a good starter.
I called you Saturday because there is another aspect of this
that we need to talk about. Assuming that the signals are
still as they were. However, let's you and I get McLane
and Evans in and get them started. Every day that passes
is one less day we have to really get this operation off and
running.

ADMINISTRATIVELY CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR MR. HALDEMAN
FROM: KENNETH L. KHACHIGIAN
HD.
I think it should be noted that Ed Muskie is a member of
the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations.
I would expect that with regard to the school finance and
property tax issues, Muskie would consider using the
Advisory Commission as a vehicle to embarrass the President.
Muskie might use hearings or written reports in this area
to voice his stiff opposition to whatever the President recommends,
and I would guess that the media would be more than willing to air
Muskie's views (since he is the most politically prominent
member of the Advisory Commission).
Thus, I think our people on the Commission ought to be at
least alerted to the possibilities of Muskie's actions and to
bird-dog him enough to prevent surprises. Mayor Lugar is also
on the Commission, and he just might be willing to be the guy
who doesn't let Muskie score any public relations coups over
the issues.
Also, Governor Hearnes of Missouri is on the Commission,
and he is one of Muskie's early and ardent supporters. He
may be called upon by Muskie's people to do some of the dirty
work for them.

Colson is asking for political clear-

to identify the Administration with
California. Colson mentions the
need to get comments from everyone
"concerned with California politically" if
but this really means the Attorney
General. The political staff of
Flemming and Magruder have no idea
what the Attorney General plans in
California.
Before Colson is given the go-ahead,
you should discuss this program
with the Attorney General.

SUBJECT:
Attached Memo
I am attaching a memo which Doug Hallett has roughed out for me.
I think he has raised a number of very good points. I can and would
like to follow through on several of them. A number, however, are
highly political and involve our California strategy.
I would not normally run this kind of memo by you, but rather would
pick up the things that look worthwhile and work through the staffing
system. In this case, because of the sensitivity of California and
the obvious interrelationship of many of these points with the Califor-
nia political strategy, I think you should review it, get the comments
of everyone else who is concerned with California politically and let
me know which areas you would like pursued.
A number of P.R. points I think have considerable appeal and we
should start staffing them now. Of particular interest to me are
points 2, 3, 7 (which we are trying to do anyway), 9 and 10 (if it is
in conformance with the basic political strategy).

MEMORANDUM FOR CHARLES W. COLSON
FROM
DOUG HALLETT
In talking to Jon Rose, who is, as vou know, spending a great deal
of time in Southern Carnorina, I 11110 that he has sensed the same feeling
I do - that is, that many Californians don't feel the President is strongly
identified with the state; that it is just a place from which he runs for
office; and, inversely, when you argue with them and tell them how much
the President likes San Clemente; that he wants to retire there, etc., they
warm" up considerably. Possible ways to counter this:
(1) President could travel more while in California. I'd like to see him
do something at Whittier College, go to church at one of the missions,
do a walking tour in East L.A., inspect the Santa Barbara Channel, go to
Pt. Reyes or Golden Gateway in San Francisco (once the latter is settled),
address a joint scssion of the state legislature in Sacramento, and undertake
other highly visible activities. The First Lady could do the same.
(2) We should focus on California newspapers. The First Lady might conduct
a tour - followed by a luncheon -: at San Clemente for the Home & Garden or
Women's Editors of the major California newspapers with photographers invited
along. San Clemente, especially in view of its historic background, is invaluable
in identifying the President with his native state. The President, in turn, might
do an exclusive interview with West, the L.A. Times's Sunday magazine, on his
early days in California. We could give another exclusive inte rview on farm
problems to the McC': tchey newspapers, in Sacramento, Fresno, and Bakersfield
and another on the President's Navy years, World War II, and international Affair
to the San Diego-Union.
(3) We should use San Clemente no when the President is not there - as a base for
non-ctop stroking of various California interest-groups. Republican state legis-
lators, congressmen, constitutional officers, and leading local officials such a.
Pete Wilson could be invited to San Clemente for a two-three day briefing,
half devoted to national-international problems with key spokesmen, half
devoted to our efforts in behalf of California with people like Rose officiating.
Similar briefings could be given to a group of leading business types, a group
of labor types (If Reagan made heavy in-roads in this group, we certainly
should be able to do so), and others. Shorter, one-two day briefings could
be arranged for farmers, conservation groups, and others.
(4) We should prepare a two or three paragraph speech insert on the President's
relationship with California to be used by all administration spokesmen speaking
in California. It would be fluff, but it would, I think, be helpful.
(5) We might do a half-hour TV special from Whittier. The President could
visit to go to the College's Chicano Studies Center and, while there, tape a
special, leading the viewer through his old home, high school, and college,
discussing what values, etc. he gained from his experiences, talking about
California when he was there, and the changes that have occurred since then.
This could be used nationally 01, perhaps, as a California exclusive.
(6) Friendly columnists should be encour aged to emphasize the Pres dent's
belief in the importance of California for his re-clection. This might be
reinforced by bringing back a representative group of Republicans (not just
Reaganitos, but guys like Wilson, Bill Bagley, Flournoy, etc. as well) for
with the President. Once moves ever to 1701, the Attorney-
General could do an exblusive interview for California newspaper political
editors, discussing the state, etc.
(7) Californians spend half their lives in Gars listening to the radio. I don't
know how much we do as far as providing tapes, but we might begin intensifying
our efforts in this way as far as California. When an aerospace contract or
a ship contract is announced, for example, we could get Laird or Chafee or
some other high-level type to do a spots e mphasizing how much the President
wants to alleviate the unemployment problem or whatever - and then get it out
there fast. The same should be done as far as TV - the TV news shows in
San Francisco and L. A. are highly popular. And, of course, our speakers
should be encouraged to be especially mindful of secondary radio-TV interview-
interview show opportunities when they are in the state.
(8) If administration types who are visible want to vacation they can vacation in
California. The L. 1. and San Francisco social pages cover the action at
Squaw Valley and Mammoth in the winter and Tahoe and Palm Springs ext remely
well. Californians also value their, recreation - and value people who go in for
it. Frequent appearances of administration types at California recreation spas
should not be underestimated. Right now, all we get is the Veep sitting in
Palm Springs.
(9) Concentrated mailing effort to California. When the details of the school
finance program are announced, we obviously cannot afford to mail to every
school district in the country, but we can do it as far as California is concerned.
Kathleen Balsdon should be alert to opportunities to send intensified mailings to
Californians on issues of pressing concern out there like property tazes.
(10) A couple specially-forcused speaking programs: Every Califiornian
in the administration should spend one week between now and November
speaking in their home areas or areas where they have an identify.
I know guys like Weinberger and Finch spend a lot of time speaking out
there, but younger guys - like Hanzlik on Finch's staff - could arrange
to go out there at government expense and speak to local service clubs,
do an interview with their local paper and radio station, etc. - all emphasizing
the administration's concern for and rapport with California. Secondly,
we could do a special speaking program at California colleges and universities,
sending guys on Bud Krogh's level to state colleges and guys on Peter Michel's
level to junior colleges for full days, appearang at classes, doing an interview
withthe college paper, etc.
The above are only my preliminary thoughts. I think others should be
asked for input and I think we should begin moving in this area as soon as
possible.

SUBJECT:
Potential Disruptions at the
Republican National Convention
In response to my memorandum of January 31, 1972 summarizing
present intelligence regarding the potential for disruptions at the
GOP Convention in San Diego, you have requested information
regarding the "positive things that are planned. "
At the outset, I might say that I find that the present intelligence
information does have some positive elements. First, it indicates
that the "anti" groups are disorganized, that there is more talk
than action, and that there is friction between the national organi-
zations and the local San Diego organizations. Rest assured that
nothing is being done to change this situation and, in fact, every-
thing possible is being done to preserve it as long as possible.
Second, I find virtually no serious discussion among the "anti"
groups regarding use of confrontation techniques (a la May Day
variety) at the San Diego Convention. Their goal is numbers
large numbers. In fact, such old warriors as Hayden, Rubin,
Hoffman and Dellinger have privately confided that they feel that
they will only succeed if they have a mass demonstration, without
incident!
By way of planning, there is little that can be done to affect the
"anti" groups until they get down to serious planning themselves.
At this time, we are doing what is possible to keep their plans
from developing in a manner that will cause difficulty in holding the
convention.
-2-
I also find a very positive situation in the preparedness planning
by the city and state officials for any type of demonstration.
From the Governor's office to the Mayor's office to the Sheriff's
and Police Chief's offices, detailed plans are being made. When
I first began focusing on the San Diego demonstration potential
I was alarmed at the lack of understanding and appreciation of
the demonstration potential by the responsible officials. In the
ensuing months, however, I have found them taking every step
necessary to deal with and control any demonstration. The city
has some 20 different task forces working on this one problem.
The task forces are composed -- depending on the focus of
study -- of city, state and federal officials. While many of the
task forces are primarily studying the law enforcement and
related problems, others are reviewing such matters as rock
festivals, surfing contests, etc.
Your memorandum to me (via Strachan) specifically raises the
matter of "football games, surfing contests, and rock concerts
"
as things we should be planning for. While I agree that some such
activity is appropriate, I also feel that such planning is not an
answer to the potential problems. Activities of this nature might
serve two purposes: divert the kids from the convention and/or
keep them busy while there. I seriously question the diversionary
tactic. It has been tried on several occasions and has failed. As
an observer of every major demonstration in the United States in
the last three years, I know of it only partially succeeding once,
i.e., Portland, Oregon, American Legion Convention. If such
activities are employed as a means of giving the kids something
to do to keep them out of trouble, I agree it has some potential;
but we should keep in mind the fact that such activities can also
attract, as well as divert and I don't think we should do anything
to attract more kids to California during August of 1972.
Mayor Wilson has promised to send me copies of the reports of all
the task forces, which should give us the details of all the planning
activities.
In brief, the picture is not that horrible. Yes, there may be a
large number of long haired freaks roaming around San Diego
during our convention, but the plans have been made to control
them should that be necessary. I have no hesitation in offering
this prediction:
-3-
-- there will be somewhere between 250, 000 -
450, 000 (maximum) demonstrators --
-- the great majority will be orderly -- and --
-- there will be ample law enforcement people
trained and able to deal with any situation
which may arise.
There is also this very positive thought -- the demonstrations
could very well completely fizzle. As you know, the leaders are
calling for no less than a million kids. However, if the national
climate is calm, they might have trouble getting 100, 000 interested
in San Diego. How's that for a pollyanna?
I will keep you posted on the positive as well as negative sides of
this situation as they develop.

BLACK LIAISON
During the week we attended, and were actively involved in, with atten-
dees from around the Nation, a White House Budget Message Briefing.
In addition to providing back-up support in singling out portions
of the budget directly related to programs impacting on minorities,
discussions with key leaders set out roles they will play in the
campaign.
Florida and Georgia organization meetings were finalized.
Out-of-town visitors to the Division's offices continued and included:
Black realtor, T. M. Alexander, Sr. (Atlanta), Ambrose Lane, pub-
lisher (Buffalo), Dr. James Holloway, Howard University (Washington),
and John Sims, Executive of U. S. Plywood (New York).
At the invitation of District of Columbia Republicans, we attended
a Black Republican Caucus. The Caucus centered around (1) role in
the coming campaign, (2) fielding a candidate for the local con-
gressional race, (3) reaching more rank and file voters, (4) hold-
ing one or more special events. Committees were set up to report
-2-
back to a later meeting of the Caucus. The Caucus pledged its ef-
forts to working closely with the Committee for the Re-election
of the President following our presentation.
Contacts were made with entertainers in support of the strategy
to attract celebrities to the campaign (Jerry Butler, Sammy Davis,
Jr., and Lionel Hampton).
We hosted a hospitality suite in connection with the "Bob Brown
Tribute" (more than 250 people from over the country visited the
suite). This allowed for dissemination of information on the
Administration's record regarding minorities and for gaining
commitments from key persons to work in behalf of the President's
re-election.
Papers were developed for in-house Committee use (for advertising
and a white paper for the Illinois Chairman)
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
Regional Chairmen for our group have accepted in Boston, St. Louis,
Atlanta, Boise and Chicago. It is expected that the person contac-
ted in New York will also accept. We will be contacting the other
regional candidates for their agreement. Those chairmen who have
accepted will be visited during the next week and the state and
city orangizations within their regions will be set up. In addition
to the regional assignments, we have acceptance in two states for
the state chairmen. All who have so far accepted are prominent
businessmen and we are encouraged by our progress to date.
We have a second draft on our film script. More work must be done
on it before it can be considered.
JEWISH LIAISON
There is continued activity by the American Jewish community on or-
ganizing its efforts to bring a million signatures on petitions
urging the President to include the item of Soviet Jewry on the
summit agenda with the Russians. Petitions have been distributed
to communities throughout the United States and background material
has also been sent out. The focus will be on a national leader-
ship conference in Washington on May 3 with supporting demonstra-
tions in communities around the country on April 30. The petition
drive is being run nationally and is to culminate at the May 3 date.
There will be a request for a meeting between the President and
the leaders of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, and there
will be extensive publicity covering this request. Supporting
-3-
statements by Congressional and political figures will be used to
buttress this. If the President does decide that he wishes to meet
with a representative group of leadership, it would be wise to select
the appropriate timing at the point where any hint of pressure can
be reduced.
LEGAL
Bill Novelli was advised of the requirements of the Campaign Com-
munications Reform Act as it pertains to direct mail. We confer-
red with Messrs. Flemming and Cohen concerning contributions by
corporations. For Mr. Shumway, we reviewed a contract between
David Green and the Republican National Committee and our opinion
is that the RNC is bound under its terms. We conferred with the
Business and Industry Committee on the legal aspects of: (a) com-
munications of a political nature between corporate officers and
employees; and (b) prohibited contribution of services, both
direct and constructive. We drafted a charter for the Committee
for the Re-election of the President and conferred with Attorney
General Mitchell and Messrs. Dean and Magruder on certain aspects
of the campaign. We reviewed a proposed contract between the
Committee and Design Associates and submitted the opinion that
the document in question constituted a mere offer, and that the
offeror is one not empowered to make an offer on behalf of the
Committee. We revised an offer to contract for housing of
Young Republicans and Young Voters for the President received
from the University of San Diego and advised Mr. Teeter with
respect to the legality of prepayment of contracts for
polling services under the Campaign Communications Reform Act.
OLDER AMERICANS
Personnel activities continue to take up the bulk of the time.
John Martin will stay as Commissioner on Aging and efforts are
now re-directed to beefing up underneath him. Dan Todd is a
member on the Secretary's Task Force charged with doing this
(along with Rod Brady and Stu Clark under Veneman's direction).
Jamie McLane has left the Domestic Affairs staff to become Don
Rumsfeld's deputy at COLC. Vicki Keller will replace him (and will
need help). Arthur Flemming and Todd are working on how to
effectively back her up.
Flemming has not settled his shop V. Domestic Council staff and HEW.
We are still not sure how this will shake out but will give it as
much time as necessary until it is resolved.
Byron Gold is now putting full time into staffing out whether or
not we are in a position to "eliminate hunger among the elderly".
Report due February 7th.
-4-
Dick Darman has returned (January 31) and will take full responsi-
bility for development of Special Message on Aging and Amendments
(due date February 23rd).
We reviewed the Florida situation with Howard Weber and Mr. Van
of the RNC. Weber will stay in Florida full time through the Pri-
mary to coordinate Older American activities for 1701, RNC and
State Committee. He'll be paid by Thomas, not us.
POLITICAL
This week we solidified our organizational structure in New Hamp-
shire, and improved programming of their efforts towards the
telephone campaign and the "get-out-the-vote" campaign. These
will be the two prime responsibilities of our New Hampshire
group between now and March 7. Other activities will continue,
but not at the expense of the two major projects. Governor
Dwinell and Allan Walker have a complete understanding on this
and a timetable has been worked out to help us attain maximum
effectiveness in both activities.
Nathan (Gus) Agostinelli was announced as our state chairman in
Connecticut on Tuesday, January 25. As of January 31 we have
announced chairmen in 11 states, 13 are ready for announcement,
and 16 are in the final stages of being set up. We are working
out problems in 11 states in preparation for naming chairmen.
PR/MEDIA
Tom Girard attended the Connecticut announcement on January 25 in
Hartford. In addition to newspaper coverage, Nathan Agostinelli,
the Chairman, was interviewed by Channel 8 - New Haven, and the
Hartford outlets of CBS and NBC attended the Press Conference.
Girard also met with the party officials and briefed the Chairman
prior to the Press Conference.
Continued work with the New Hampshire Committee included discus-
sions and advice to them from Girard for the appearance of Sec-
retary Richardson. Van Shumway and Girard both spoke with John
Sias, the Press Secretary for the New Hampshire Committee, re-
garding future plans. A media plan has been requested for Sias
laying out the program for Press, Surrogates and general PR in
New Hampshire up to the Primary. The Committee Press department
will then work with Sias and his plan to assure greater impact and
more productive press coverage.
Ann Dore worked extensively with Roy Nilson and Bill David in
Florida regarding the Surrogates' visits during the next 10 days.
-5-
The Florida audio operation is now in operation under the direc-
tion of Roy Nilson. He covered Vice President Agnew's visit
last Saturday. The taped segment was fed to all radio stations in
Florida. Girard arranged for the audio to be fed to the Washington
based Green operation, which then fed the material to stations
around the country.
The New Hampshire audio operation is also feeding taped segments
of national spokesmen to Green and this in turn is being used for
national feeds. In the not-too-distant future we will have the
capability to measure the response to these feeds.
Dore spoke with the Indiana Committee people to lay out plans for
their announcement on February 1st. Girard worked with their PR
representative on the press release and attended the press confer-
ence in Indianapolis.
Girard advised David Green of the Youth News conference held Janu-
ary 25th. Green dispatched a film crew and audio man. Thirty-
five video tapes were sent to stations. Green reported that the
tapes were used by 29 stations.
Girard assisted photographers from the Swedish Broadcasting Com-
pany, UPI, and UPI-TV newsfilm as they took shots on the second
floor of Committee headquarters.
Girard talked with Dick Brazie who covers Capitol Hill and politics
for Westinghouse Broadcasting. This was on background and the topic
was a general discussion of the campaign organization and activities
in the states.
Dore spoke on the record with Ann Blackman of AP on the general
topic of women in the Nixon campaign with the understanding that
the staff is still being formed.
Shumway met with Dave Broder and Wally Mears (AP) whom he briefed
on the campaign and in particular the New Hampshire activities
prior to their visit there. He also met with Paul Healy of the
New York Daily News with whom he discussed the campaign in general.
Art Amolsch prepared a statement for State Chairmen to use fol-
lowing President Nixon's Vietnam negotiations address.
Art also wrote the press release for the California announce-
ment which is to be used at a Press Conference on February 4.
A Press Secretaries Handbook was written by Art and is now in
draft form to be finalized and sent to all state press secretaries.

RESEARCH AND STRATEGY
Bob Marik, Bob Morgan and Rick Fore met with Undersecretary of
Commerce, Jim Lynn, Rick Schweitzer of Commerce, and Joe Wright and
Lance Tarrance of the Census Bureau. The purpose of the meeting
was to determine the best manner of obtaining census information
for the Committee. In particular, the meeting centered on census
mapping and its applicability to campaign activity. The discussion
clarified the operating plan within Commerce and Census to produce
the maps, as well as how they will be used by the campaign.
Marik and Nancy Brataas visited New Hampshire for the purpose of
putting into operation the telephone canvass which is planned for
the primary campaign. Brataas, who will be in charge of the opera-
tion, met with New Hampshire volunteers who will be in charge of
each of the seven centers in which telephone banks will be set up.
She reviewed the complete program and distributed the operating
materials which will be required for each center. Brataas will
remain in New Hampshire to work with the New Hampshire organiza-
tion to implement the plan.
At the present time, the high priority tasks are to organize the
lists of telephone numbers for each headquarters and to recruit
the registered voters to begin operations.
The office space for each of the seven telephone locations has been
secured and the telephones are being installed. The active canvas-
sing will begin on Friday, February 11. Within two weeks all
Republican households will have been contacted. In the period
just before the election, households which indicated support for
the President will be called back and reminded to vote on March 7.
Marik, Morgan, Arthur Finkelstein and Fore met with staff assistants
and consultants to the Speaker of the House of the New York Assem-
bly. This group has management responsibilities for all Republican
Assembly Campaigns in New York.
Governor Rockefeller, our Nixon Chairman in New York, gave his
approval for the meeting with the Speaker's representatives. The
meeting was held with a full understanding that Governor Rockefel-
ler will be the Chairman of our effort in New York. He will also
review all proposals of cooperation between the Committee for the
Re-election of the President and the Republican Assembly Campaign
management team.
It was agreed that there was an excellent opportunity to cooperate
in the areas of demography, polling and direct mail. The appropriate
people at our Committee will be in touch with their counterparts
of the New York group to work out details. A program of coopera-
tion will then be presented to the campaign management for approval.
-7-
SPOKESMEN RESOURCES
Porter met with the Attorney General to discuss progress towards
the organization of special interest groups for the campaign. In-
cluded in the discussions were Ethnic, Labor, and Spanish speaking
groups. In addition, the idea of hiring a veteran to head up a
Veterans for the Re-election of the President Committee was dis-
cussed.
Porter and Curt Herge met with Gordon Luce, Vice-Chairman of the
California Committee to discuss the program of Spokesmen Resources.
We have been in contact with Herb Klein's office to coordinate
the requirements imposed by the White House on the Domestic Agen-
cies and Departments. The objective is to require the preparation
and submission of one report to meet several needs.
WOMEN
Rita Hauser was in Miami on January to deliver the Commencement
Address at the University of Miami. As Rita was the first woman
to make this address, her appearance got wide publicity in the press
and television. Rita noted her intention to resign her U. N. posi-
tion in order to campaign for the President, and this resulted in
good media coverage on Nixon and the women's vote. She appeared
on state-wide television, "Mid-day Scene," on January 27 to discuss
the President's campaign (the next guest was Hubert Humphrey).
Rita also met with Tommy Thomas and Paula Hawkins on women's acti-
vities in the Primary. Hawkins is well aware of women's interests
and also of the high percentage of top Republican women attached
to Ashbrook.
Contact was made by telephone with a number of the key women appoin-
tees inviting them to a luncheon meeting on Wednesday, February 2.
We were unable to get everyone together but we will have periodic
meetings from now until victory day. Anne Armstrong and Jean
Spencer will also be in attendance. Pat Hutar outlined the general
areas to be covered in the first meeting and emphasized the impor-
tance of and need for their ideas in developing programs to involve
women in the campaign. They liked this approach and seemed en-
thusiastic about participating. In addition, we discussed their
personal involvement in the campaign. Judging from their comments,
some of them are not sure to what degree and under what circumstances
they can participate. This will be one of the topics on the agenda.
We will base our discussions on a general outline of campaign acti-
vities to get their thinking and suggestions.
On February 1, Nancy Steorts and Pat Hutar will meet with Paula Hawkins
-8-
and Tommy Thomas to go over the materials that will be used in the
direct mail program and to cover the work to be done by volunteers
in the 10 county headquarters as well as by volunteers in the
precincts.
Pat Hutar met with Pat Hitt and Jean Hawkins to get information on
the women's activities in 1968 from January through the post-election
period. Every facet of this operation was covered. The meeting was
very valuable and Pat Hitt and Jean gave their full cooperation.
They will continue to be helpful as programs for the volunteers are
developed and implemented.
YOUNG VOTERS FOR THE PRESIDENT
New Hampshire
Young voters will canvass this weekend for unregistered supporters of
the President. In addition to asking questions, they will pass out
literature and volunteer cards. After this weekend, they will be
phased into the telephone get-out-the-vote effort.
Our reports indicate that the number of young people at our rally
last weekend demoralized the McCloskey headquarters in New Hampshire.
In addition, it developed credibility for the idea that youg support
the President and it increased morale among local campaign workers.
The first mock election will be held in New Hampshire on February 10
at New Hampshire College. Although we arranged it, the election is
being sponsored by the student government. There will be 10 candi-
dates and each person will vote for one (three Republicans). We be-
lieve this format the best for maximizing our results. Ruckelshaus
will be speaking at New Hampshire College on the 9th and that is why
the 10th was chosen.
We are exploring other possible mock elections although we want to
be sure they will favor the President. Other possibilities are:
- New Hampshire Technical Institute on February 16.
- Daniel Webster Junior College and Aeronautical Institute on
February 29.
- Dartmouth College on February 29.
- Plymouth State College - no date.
High school mock elections are being explored but because we could
not control them as well (most make voting mandatory) we need exactly
the right situation. One high school mock election has been sche-
duled by the school - Phillips Exeter Academy - and we are doing our
-9-
best to control the results. In addition, Kersarge High School at
Sumner has scheduled a mock convention on February 24 and we are
making every effort to see that the results are favorable.
Florida
We now have 2,000 volunteers recruited. Although the local party
organization has not been much help, our registration drives are
proceeding. We feel a maximum registration effort will have to be
made in April. Our organization will help man the telephones to
follow-up the direct mail effort for the primary.
Prior to the primary, we will announce a Florida Young Voters Com-
mittee which will include the same kind of outstanding young people
named to the national committee last week.
Wisconsin
We now have a full-time volunteer as state chairman - Bob Kasten.
He is setting up an organization that will conduct a voter registra-
tion drive in the spring and assist in the get-out-the-vote effort
in the fall.
Illinois
Tom Houser has appointed Paul Caprio the youth coordinator. Caprio
is a volunteer and will hire a youth director. The organization
will set up a voter registration drive in the spring.
California
Tom Hayden, director of youth activities for the state central com-
mittee, will direct the Young Voters for the President Committee.
Hayden is looking for a full-time staff director now.
Hayden, Luce, Nofziger, and Rietz agree that voter registration among
young people is the key. We will be setting up a drive and have a
proposal in for staff and necessary funds.
Speakers Placed
Counsellor Rumsfeld will speak before the Senate Youth Program.
Secretary Morton will address the student body of Plymouth State
College (New Hampshire) in behalf of the President.
Mrs. Agnew will attend the Illinois state convention of the Future
Homemakers of America.
-10-
Howard Twilley (Miami Dolphins) attended a Miami pentathlon (high
school age athletic meet drawing from all over the state) in be-
half of the President as well as meeting with our registration
workers over the weekend.
Anne Armstrong addressed a college age mock convention in Spring-
field, Illinois, that drew participants from the area schools.
Representative Biester will address a high school age mock conven-
tion drawn from the Eastern seaboard at Kersarge High School in New
Hampshire.
Representatives Steiger and Kemp will be in New Hampshire this week-
end and will cover several colleges and high schools (including
events at New Hampshire College, St. Anselms College, New England
College, Franklin Pierce College, Keene State, Keene High School,
Hanover High School) as well as radio and newspaper interviews and
participation in our continuing registration drive.
Miscellaneous
The President appointed Jo Ann Cullen, whom we recommended, to the

MEMORANDUM FOR:
Honorable John N. Mitchell
SUBJECT:
The possible Senate candidacy of
Robert (Bob) Gable for the sent now
held by John Sherman Cooper.
BACKGROUND
Robert Gable has expressed interest in running for the Senate
seat of John Sherman Cooper of Kentucky.
Mr. Gable is from Kentucky's Fifth Congressional District
and is described as able candidate material. He is a loyal
Republican with experience in statewide polities, and has
the confidence and respect of those who have been associated
with him in past Republican efforts.
Gable is a man of considerable financial wealth. He "owns
outright" the mining town of Sterns, Kentucky, and is owner
of Sterns Coal and Lumber Company, a family enterprise.
His wealth has been estimated to be anywhere between five
and fifty million dollars. In his business and personal dealings,
he has been described as intelligent, reputable and honest.
Gable was educated in the Arizona public schools and graduated
from Stanford University. He is approximately 40 years of
age, is married and has three children.
POLITICAL
Gable has had experience in political fund raising. He was a
campaign coordinator and fund raiser for Senator Howard Baker
of Tennessee, though living across the border. He was also
page 2
February 2, 1972
State Finance Chairman for the Emberton gubernatorial race
in Kentucky. He has been described as an industrious, ener-
getic and imaginative Republican loyalist who leaves no stone
unturned in meeting his political responsibilities. He is re-
spected and liked by Republicans throughout the state.
Gable has had experience in state office as State Parks Com-
missioner under Governor Nunn from 1968 to 1970. During
this period of time, some animosity developed between Gable
and Governor Nunn. He has made it known that if Nunn were
to run for the Senate, he would challenge him in the primaries.
RECOMMENDATION
Gable is given little chance of winning. He presently has very
little name recognition throughout the state, and those who know
him say this is his chief drawback. The fact that he is a "coal
baron" could also be used effectively against him, as could his
inherited wealth.
Nevertheless, this man ought to be encouraged to run if Nunn
doesn't. He would make a very credible and attractive candidate
despite liabilities which are not insurmountable. Furthermore,
the fact that Kentucky is presently represented by two Republi-
cans in the Senate and two Republicans out of seven Congress-
men is indicative of the fact that the GOP can win. However, if
a decision is to be made, it should be made soon to preclude a
fight in the May primaries.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
THE VICE PRESIDENT
FROM:
HARRY S. DENT
USD
The California Republican Assembly, a conservative organization
which has more influence on grass roots Republican organization
in California than any other, is having its 1972 convention at
Palo Alto, California, April 8, 1972. Purpose of this convention
will be to endorse candidates for state-wide and national office.
Congressman Ashbrook will be there to address the convention and
will, of course, be seeking the endorsement of the group for the
presidential preferential primary.
The President has been invited by CRA to likewise address the
convention. However, he cannot do this because of his prohibition
against any political appearances or any political activities
prior to the national convention. I explained this to the
leadership of this organization when I addressed their board
meeting last weekend.
Governor Reagan thinks this is a very important group and that
you should appear there in behalf of the President. He made
this recommendation to the President Tuesday. The President
talked with me today and requested that I brief you on the
importance of the CRA and let you know of his wishes that you
undertake this assignment.
Lyn Nofziger is very familiar with this group. They are very
conservative, and it is just possible that they could vote and
decide to endorse Ashbrook although the odds are with the
President. Even if they should endorse the President they might
also pass a resolution differing with many of our positions such
as the budget, welfare reform, national security, and foreign aid.
I will be glad to help in briefing you and your speech assistants
on this organization at the appropriate time.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
FROM:
HARRY S. DENT
Ed Forman stopped by to give me some poll information on
the New Mexico poll regarding the U. S. Senate race. The
poll showed that in a GOP primary Domenici, our 1970
candidate for Governor, would get 41%; Forman, 36%; Cargo, 15%;
Frances, 3%; and Davidson (retiring state chairman), 1%. The
poll showed that Domenici had a 1% hostility rating; Forman, 2%;
Cargo, 30%. The poll also showed that Forman's votes would go
to Domenici meaning that Domenici would vanquish Cargo in a
primary. In the general election, the polls showed Domenici
should win by 2 points, 42 to 40, over Jack Daniels, a
Democrat primary contender in 1970.
It is therefore expected that in addition to Forman, everyone
else will pull out of the primary race except Cargo, if he
has enough brass to stay in.

MEMORANDUM FOR:

FROM:
Brad E. Hainsworth
SUBJECT:
FYI summary of findings in a study of
presidential elections investigating
public participation in nation-wide
voting.
The basic finding of the study is that of those eligible by
age to vote nation-wide, 62.0% went to the polls in 1960,
with a drop to 61.2% in 1964 and a further drop to 60.8% in
1968. Voting turnout in America is, all in all, on a small
but steady decline.
In 1960, the state with the highest turnout was Idaho with
80.0% In 1964 and 1968, Utah was the state with the highest
turnout with 78.1% and 76.1% respectively. The high in
turnout is on the decline from 80.0% to 78.1%.
The states in which the decline exceeds 7.7% between 1960
and 1968 are those states most inclined toward apathy.

Collectively, the turnout in the Southern states rose from
40.5% in 1960 to 50.6% in 1968, a rise of 10.9%. The Southern
states are moving towards a more uniform turnout rate which in
1968 hovers around 50.6%
The fluctuation in voter turnout in most states seems to be a
matter of incentives and motivations resulting from economic
and social factors.
In the South, the significantly lower rate of turnout must
result from lack of incentives and motivations that attract
or impel eligible voters.
First, the economic repression of the South from the end of the
Civil War to recent years is a large factor. An example would
be the discriminatory or preferential freight rates which
hampered economic development well into this century.
Second, the South's intransigent adherence to one political
party has denied it the incentives of two-party competition.
Third, the Black man was discouraged or prevented from voting.
Page 3
The South is beginning to emerge from this apathy for several
reasons:
1. Industrial development and the migration of business
to the South.
2. The emergence of the two-party system.
3. The enfranchisement of the Blacks which impels Whites
to involve themselves in public life and to go to the
polls.
Apathy appears to be spreading throughout the rest of the nation
in an apparently unconscious, unorganized wave. The reasons
are not readily apparent.
Underneath this is the feeling that voting does not get you
anywhere. With our high standards of living and general
affluence, people feel secure and also feel it is unnecessary
to vote. At the same time, modern social and technological
problems appear insoluble to the average voter.

This insures that another candidate couldn't swoop in and
capture the Democratic column on the ballot. This also means
that if Wallace is a candidate in the general election, he
will have to put his slate of electors on the ballot under
another party emblem -- unless, of course, he wins the
nomination in Miami.
Meanwhile, Wallace, in the words of one of my Alabama friends,
may have to place his political future on the line in trying
to win control of the Alabama delegation to Miami. While
this, I think, is an overstatement, winning control of the
Alabama delegation will not be easy for Wallace.
Under present rules, 29 delegates will be elected in Alabama
on a district basis -- not statewide. Then, the 29 will
select six more to bring the total size of the delegation to
37.
Last weekend, the Alabama party determined there will be no
direct presidential preference primary. Each candidate for
delegate may list his preferred presidential candidate with
his name on the ballot, or simply be listed as uncommitted.

Scoop Jackson was in Birmingham two weeks ago. Tom King, a
state senator who was A/A to Congressman George Huddleston,
is to lead the Jackson effort in Alabama. This, of course,
will be a drive to enlist and elect a Jackson-pledged slate
of delegates to Miami.
My people in Alabama expect Wallace, Humphrey, Muskie and
McGovern slates to emerge within a few weeks.
The districts in which delegates will be elected were set up
according to rules laid down by the DNC and are based on a
formula weighted 50% by population and 50% by the vote for
the Democrat candidates in 1968. Seven of these districts
are predominately Black.
Tom Turnipseed, Wallace's former campaign manager, thinks
Hubert Humphrey may outdo Jackson in Alabama. I wouldn't be
surprised.
Wallace has introduced a bill requiring a direct presidential
preference primary. The leading candidate would then select
a slate of delegates. Even if this passes the Legislature --
which it probably won't -- it would be in for tough sledding
before the Miami credentials committee.
At this point, it looks like Wallace will be unable to lead a
united delegation to Miami. Instead, he will probably wind
up there with his home strength pretty much diluted.
Whatever happens to Wallace in the Alabama primary will have
little impact on others, since the Alabama primary is on
May 2, and most of the big ones will already be history.

MEMORANDUM FOR
Honorable John N. Mitchell
SUBJECT:
Louisiana Gubernatorial Race
BACKGROUND
Louisiana Republican Gubernatorial candidate David Treen was
defeated by Congressman Ed Edwards by 57% of the vote.
ANALYSIS
Two factors seem paramount in David Treen's defeat -- the
solidarity of the Democrat Party, and the heavy black vote.
All local Democrat officials united behind Edwards in an effort
to unite the Party and achieve a heavy voter turnout on election
day. In doing so, great emphasis was placed on "voting the
rooster," or, "pulling the rooster handle." Voting a straight
Party ticket was one of the major Democrat themes. In effect,
the Treen team was fighting the united Democrat power structure.
There was an extremely heavy turnout of black voters and they
voted Democrat almost to a man. Black registration has nearly
doubled in the past eight years.
The Treen forces tried to finesse the black vote by keeping a
low profile in black areas and lull Negro voters into thinking
there was no necessity for a heavy turnout. It didn't work.
SUMMARY
Treen forces believed they needed 500,000 votes if they were to
win. They received approximately 477,000, about 43% of the
vote.

February 3, 1972
One could look upon this loss as a net gain for the GOP in
Louisiana. This was an excellent showing. One GOP official
argues that the vote represents an excellent base for the
President. If the President had been running, the election
would have been much closer. The President can expect
support from those voting for Treen and a high percentage
of those supporting Edwards, even if Wallace is in the race.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
FROM:
HARRY S. DENT DSD
Attached is a mailing to solicit primary petition signatures
for the President under the name of Charlie Jonas, Jr. with
a note attached by Jim Holshouser. This is one of the latest
attempts by the Holshouser forces to tie directly into the
Presidential campaign. Since this time Holshouser has made
a public statement that he is getting money and assistance
out of Washington because "the President does not forget
those who helped him in 1968."
Jonas, Jr. was told to deny publicly any connection between
the Holshouser campaign and the Nixon campaign. He has done
SO.
When I was in Greensboro for the steering committee meeting
January 31, I mentioned the letter with the Holshouser note
to Jonas, Brad Hayes and Steve Krouch. Krouch is also
working for the Nixon Committee. Unfortunately, all three
of these gentlemen are dedicated to the Holshouser effort,
and Hayes is on both payrolls. I told all of them this tie-
in would have to cease immediately. Hayes indicated he would
choose to work with Holshouser. Jonas told me he just could
not bring himself to straighten this matter out and that I
would have to do it for him. Two months ago he said he was
moving the Nixon operation from Raleigh, next door to the
Holshouser operation, to Charlotte where Jonas could better
control the matter. He now says he will do this right away.
I hate to report this but Jonas is a weaker chairman than I
had anticipated. In addition to this, he has been unable to
work out an agreement with Mel Broughten, the former Democrat
The Attorney General

chairman, to come into a key campaign role. He blames all
of this on Broughten and his desire only for a big title and
lack of willingness to do any real work. Frank Rouse, the
state GOP chairman, says otherwise and is getting me Broughten's
side of the story. Now Jonas says Broughten is coming back
around.
The meeting we had in North Carolina with the steering
committee members was good. Each one was given a Presidential
pen, and they were all given a good pep talk.
I will continue to follow up to see that the Holshouser and
Nixon operations are separated and that we are tied in to
no other campaign.
Here is a poll taken in Mecklenburg County (Charlotte) among
700 random people:

would you vote?"

Fellow Republicans:
Attached you will find a petition for putting
President Wixon's name on the ballot in our
state, and an instruction sheet. I want to

Dear Fellow llixon Supporter:
We need your help in circulating the enclosed petitions to
help get the Nixon Re-Election Campaign off to a roaring start.
The petitions are for use in obtaining signatures to put President
Nixon on the Republican Primary Presidential Ballot in North Carolina,
While the President will almost surely be nominated automatically
I am sure you will agree that a ground-swell of support generated
by our goal of 200,000 signatures is very much to be desired.
There are some points to keep in mind about the petitions:
1. Only valid Republican signatures count, HOWEVER,
please accept any Democrat's signature who wishes
to sign. Signatures should be as they appear in
the Registration Books.
:. All signatures must be from the same county; the
county name to be filled in on the appropriate
line.
3. The petition need not be filled with signatures to
be valid, though it is certainly desireable.
L.. The precinct must be filled in. If the signer does
not know his precinct, make sure you get his correct
address so you can look up his precinct later and
fill it in.
5. As soon as you have one full, or have gone as far
as you can - send the petition in.
The deadline for getting the petitions in is February 21.
That is something less than two months away, so please get as many
signatures as possible as soon as you can and get them in.

CONFIDENTIAL
HAWAII - POLITICAL ASSESSMENT
1.
General
The Republican Party is in a sad state of disrepair in
the State of Hawaii. The President lost the State badly
in the 1968 election (Nixon 39%; Humphrey 60% and
Wallace 1 %) and Senator Fong won only a very narrow
victory in his 1970 race for reelection. Hawaii's two
Congressmen are Democrat as are the Governor and
Mayor of Honolulu. In part, this Democratic ascendency
is attributable to the fact that Hawaii is a generally "liberal"
State. Its diverse racial and cultural heritage plays a
major role in this general outlook.
2.
Japanese Voting Bloc
The Japanese represent the most formidable voting bloc
on the Island. Matsunaga, Mink and Inouye are all of
Japanese extraction. Patsy Mink's bumper stickers say
"Patsy Takemoto Mink" so there can be no mistake.
Governor Burns is very closely identified with the Japanese
community. (Both of his sons married Japanese girls
and one of the sons has a Japanese surnames. ) The
Republicans do not, at this point, have any widely respected
Japanese leadership. Senator Fong is of Chinese extraction.
3.
The ILWU
The 1LWU is by far the most influential labor organization
in the State and as such has widespread political influence.
It represents not only the dock workers but also most of
the hotel workers on Oahu and the pineapple and sugar
plantation workers throughout the State. With the exception
of Honolulu's Mayor Fasi, all of the major Democratic
officeholders are beholden to the ILWU. Fasi is aligned
with the State Federation of Labor (AFL-CIO) and is carrying
on a running feud with Governor Burns.
-2-
4.
The Strike
The dock strike lasted 100 days from July 1 through
October 4 when the Taft-Hartley injunction was invoked.
Estimates of the cost of this first phase of the strike
range from $35 to $50 million. The strike was resumed
on January 17 and there is no doubt that it will have serious
consequences for the State's economy. Because of alliances
with the ILWU, however, the State Government and the
Democratic Congressmen have downplayed the effects of
the strike and have been very cool towards the Administration's
emergency legislation to end it. Nevertheless, unemployment
is growing, business failures are increasing and state tax
revenues are down. Knowledgeable citizens are aware of
the fact that the strike is a real problem, that the economy
of the State has suffered and that the Democrats are not
really doing anything about it. Further, the ordinary man
in the street has experienced direct discomfort from the
strike as a result of shortages and higher prices. Conse-
quently, the Democrats appear to be vulnerable on this
issue.
5. Prospects
The likelihood of the President carrying Hawaii seems very
slender. Republicans with whom I spoke are discouraged
and disorganized. While they see prospects of improving
the President's showing in 1972 on the basis of favorable
reaction to his China initiative and dissatisfaction with the
Democrat's' attitude on the strike issue, they are not
optimistic that he can carry the State. Neither of the two
Senate seats is up for reelection nor is there a gubernatorial
election. Mrs. Mink will not, in all likelihood, have
significant opposition. Fred Rohlfing will very likely run
against Spark Matsunaga and faces an uphill fight. Among
other things, he is having difficulty getting adequate
financial backing. (As is true in the City of Chicago, most
of the normally Republican money goes to back Democrats
simply because they are clearly in political control.)
Efforts by the Administration to woo these interests would
seem appropriate. Steps along this line are the subject of
a separate memorandum.

Subject:
RNC Registration Activities
The 1972 national campaign will be different than the 1968 campaign.
In 1972 the Republican Party enjoys the advantage of presidential
incumbancy. This means that the issues of the campaign are already
established- - - established in the record of achievement of the
Nixon Administration. The strategy of the campaign similiarly is
known and will manifest itself in the record of performance of the
Nixon Administration.
This means that the role of the party organization is well defined --
to register all our favorable voters, to turn out our vote on
Election Day, to protect that vote with strong ballot security and
insure that every favorable absentee ballot is cast. That is the
mandate and the primary responsibility of the Republican Party in the
1972 national campaign.
In viewing the practical aspects of designing programs capable of
meeting this challenge several factors become apparent.
- Registration programs are the first priority.
- Enthusiasm for early spring registration drives as well as the
traditional summer and fall drives had to be generated.
-
Practical, workable techniques as opposed to generalized programs
had to be developed, tested and implemented to insure successful
registration drives.
- To be successful, party officials at all levels had to be informed
of the registration priority, educated in practical techniques,
and convinced of the vital need of successful registration drives.
Dwight D. Eisenhower Republican Center: 310 First Street Southeast, Washington, D.C. 20003. (202) 484-6500.
As a result of this review of the existing circumstances, the
following actions were taken by the Political Division of the
Republican National Committee.
- The nucleus of a staff was formed consisting of Dick Thaxton, who
has had considerable state and county level experience in registration
and voter turnout experience, and John Sayre, who had been heavily
involved in the military and civilian life with ballot security and
absentee ballot programs. Their task was to further review these
problems, with emphasis on registration, survey practical, workable
techniques for accomplishing these tasks, develop their own staff
for testing and implementing programs and finally taking successful
techniques to party organizations at the state and county levels
in an advisory capacity to insure that these vital tasks are
accomplished.
- The review of existing registration programs resulted in the
development of techniques that utilized the recruiting, training, and
dispatching of large numbers of volunteers in highly organized and
controlled registration "blitzes" aimed at target areas. The most
important elements of these techniques were the high degree of
accountability to a central authority, and the efficient
utilization of manpower in terms of money and effectiveness.
- In January, 1972 a series of pilot projects in Florida and Texas
were designed on a controlled basis to test these techniques, gain
vital staff experience and develop a record of success. These
pilot projects will be completed February, 1972.
One project, Pinellas County, Florida was successfully completed on
January 29, 1972. Designed as the initial test of registration
techniques, this controlled project was set up to establish, staff
and train one headquarters unit, and to recruit, train, equip and
dispatch one hundred volunteers to go into sixteen precincts to
identify unregistered favorable voters. The results were extremely
encouraging in this controlled project. In one day, approximately
3,700 households were contacted: approximately 350 unregistered
Republicans and favorable voters were found in sixteen precincts
(an average of 22 unregistered favorable voters per precinct),
and approximately 50 of these unregistered voters were registered on
that dav. The remainder will be registered within the next two weeks.
- Volunteer recruiting on a larger pilot project in Houston, Texas
is proceeding at a very encouraging pace with over 300 volunteers
recruited as of today. The blitz day for this project is February 19.
Projects in Texas are also underway in Forth Worth and Dallas and
will be completed in the first week of March.
-
A "war room" has been established at the RNC to detail project
registration dates, project coordinators, information on state
activities and project status. The primary purpose of the "war room"
is to coordinate all Target '72 registration activities into a
single location to facilitate status review and project accountability.
- Conversations with State and County leaders indicated the immediate
need for practical registration techniques that will work. During
the month of January, contacts in counties within the following
states resulted in an immediate, positive response to begin early
spring drives to build the foundation for massive summer and fall
drives. These states are as follows:
Arkansas
Kentucky
North Carolina
California
Maryland
Ohio
Connecticut
Michigan
Oklahoma
Florida
Missouri
Pennsylvania
Illinois
Nebraska
Tennessee
Indiana
New Jersey
Texas
Iowa
New York
Virginia
At this time, specific discussions are underway defining target areas
in each state, assessing manpower requirements and reviewing registration
goals.
- In January, registration goals were developed nationally that had as
a minimum objective the registration of one and one-half million Renublicans
by May 15, 1972 and a total goal of 8 million registered Republicans
by October, 1972. Again, I emphasize that these are minimum goals.
- At the Professtional Staff Conference in Washington, the necessity for
developing and implementing early spring registration drives was
emphasized by party leaders such as Attorney General Mitchell,
Chairman Dole, Co-chairmen Armstrong and Evans as well as in the
various workshops. As the list of states above indicate, enthusiasm for
and an understanding of the importance of spring as well as summer and
fall registration drives in every state has been instilled in party
organization leaders.
- At the present time, registration projects have been defined, and
planning is underway in the states of Texas, Florida, North Carolina,
Maryland, Virginia, Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana,
Connecticut, and Oklahoma. The month of February will see this list
of states with active programs expanded to at least twice that number.
The Political Division of the RNC is actively involved in the definition,
planning and implementing of projects in each of these states.
The impetus generated around RNC registration activities will continue to
build throughout the spring. Workshops are being planned around the
Leadership Training Conference to be held in March that will emphasize
the importance of registration and successful, practical techniques for
accomplishing registration drives.
A series of Regional Conferences sponsored by the RNC and devoted to the
essential precinct tasks of registration, ballot security, absentee
ballots and voter turnout are planned throughout the nation during the
spring to encourage and equip all state and county party organizations
with
the knowledge and enthusiasm for successful performing these tasks.
A newsletter designed to promote communication among organizational
leaders responsible for developing successful precinct organizations
in currently planned, with the first issue due in mid-February. This
newsletter will become the media for sharing successful techniques in all the
vital organizational areas of precinct work.
The designed effect of the programs described above is to develop the
foundation for massive summer and fall registration drives in as many vital
states as possible by encouraging, training, and equiping state and county
party leaders with the knowledge and enthusiasm to undertake successful
spring registration drives. If this foundation can be established and
proven, and successful, practical techniques developed, the impetus for
massive registration drives will have been developed. That is our aim and
our objective.
The next TARGET '72 registration activities status report will be
submitted on February 21, 1972 following the completion of projects
in Duval County, Florida and in Harris County, Texas.

TARGET '72: REGISTRATION
WHAT IS IT:
A door-to-door canvass to find and register all
unregistered Republicans and favorable voters.
DATE:
To be selected to correspond with the close of registration
for the primary and general elections. TARGET '72:
REGISTRATION should be conducted no later than one week
before close of registration.
PLACE:
TARGET '72: REGISTRATION HEADQUARTERS set up to recruit,
train, equip, assign and dispatch volunteers into every
TARGET '72 precinct.
OBJECTIVES:
To have a team of at least four volunteers working on
"Registration" Day in every TARGET '72 precinct, and to
register all unregistered Republicans and favorable
voters found by the canvass.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Because there are rarely enough regular Party workers
to staff each precinct in the county, TARGET '72:
REGISTRATION is designed to attract many new volunteers
into a one day "blitz" action program, utilizing the
"one-day" volunteer to supplement the regular party
workers in an all out effort to find and register
every unregistered Republican.
VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT:
Volunteer workers for TARGET '72: REGISTRATION are
recruited by County TARGET '72 HEADQUARTERS from lists
of registered Republicans, Republican Club members,
candidate organizations, etc., by means of a telephone
bank put into operation approximately six weeks prior
to "Registration" Day. For every 1,250 calls,
approximately 100 people will volunteer and of these
about 50 will work on "Registration" Day. The
volunteer is sent a letter thanking him for his time
and assigning him to a specific TARGET '72: REGISTRATION
HEADQUARTERS on "Registration" Day. All volunteers
must be called again the week before "Registration" Day
insuring they will show un at the proper HEADQUARTERS
and work. There must be at least four volunteers per
precinct. Each REGISTRATION HEADQUARTERS is responsible
for approximately 25 TARGET '72 precincts.
Page Two
VOLUNTEER TRAINING:
On "Registration" Day, each volunteer reports to his
assigned HEADQUARTERS and is trained by a TARGET '72:
REGISTRATION trainer in how to canvass and register
favorable voters in their assigned precincts. Each
volunteer is equipped with a "Registration" kit containing
a map of the precinct, an instruction sheet, and a
canvass work sheet. Each volunteer and his partner
are then dispatched to their assigned precinct as
soon as possible.
REGISTRATION
TECHNIQUES:
Depending upon the type of information available (such
as official up-to-date registration lists, by party, etc.)
the volunteer will call on those households that are
not identified on registration lists. In cases where
there are no registration lists, every household in the
precinct must be called upon, obtaining information as
to the party identity of the residents, their age, and
whether or not they are registered to vote. This
information is listed on the canvass work sheet. After
the canvass is completed, the work sheets are returned
to headquarters and are turned over to registrars
to register unregistered favorable voters.
TARGET '72
ACCOUNTABILITY:
Because all volunteer recruiting is done at the County
level, an immediate accounting of the number of
volunteers recruited is always possible. TARGET '72:
REGISTRATION HEADQUARTERS are established for everv
25 TARGET '72 precincts. Volunteers are assigned first
to the HEADQUARTERS and secondly to specific precincts.
This means that the accountability for each TARGET '72
HEADQUARTERS covers approximately 25 precincts. To
determine what is happening, it is necessary to call
only the HEADQUARTERS Colonel, not 25 precinct chairmen!
This allows organizational leaders to determine rapidly
the type and level of coverage TARGET '72 precincts are
receiving and to adjust in time, their volunteer forces
to insure the maximum Republican registration in each
precinct!

FACTS:
In 1968:
38 million people above voting age were unregistered and could
not vote in the 1968 presidential election. President Nixon
received only 31 million votes.
8 million people above voting age were registered, but did not
vote in the 1968 presidential election. President Nixon received a
plurality of only 500,000 votes; less than 3 votes per precinct.
4 million people above voting age were eligible to cast absentee
or special ballots in the 1968 presidential election. Less than
one-quarter did.
In 1960:
A switch of 8,000 votes in Illinois and 40,000 votes in Texas
would have elected Richard Nixon President. Both states were
highly suspect of widespread voting fraud.
WHY?
- Why only 31 million people voting for President Nixon when 38 million
do not vote at all?
- Why did 8 million registered voters not vote at all in 1968?
- Why did three in every four voters eligible for an absentee ballot
in 1968 not vote?
- Why do Republicans lose precious ballots through election fraud?
BECAUSE:
- Because we, as Republican leaders are not doing as good a job of
conducting selective registration as we are capable of in
productive target areas!
- Because we, as Republican leaders, do not aggressively pursue workable
voter turnout drives in all areas on election day!
- Because we, as Republican leaders, are not devoting sufficient time
actively pursuing special ballot programs to gain the maximum
absentee vote!
- Because we, as Republican leaders, have not in all cases adequately
organized, trained and targeted ballot security teams in all high
fraud areas:
THE ANSWER
- The answer is a proven, carefully planned, organized and executed system
for insuring that these tasks are successfully accomplished in those
target areas within our states that are essential to victory!
Page Two
-
The answer is a proven action-oriented system that mobilizes all
Republican workers and volunteers in a concentrated, targeted
effort right to the grass-roots level!
-
The answer is a proven system so designed as to give organization
status accountability from the precinct to the state office as to
the progress of our organizational efforts!
- The answer is a proven system, flexible in design so as to fit
the particular needs of the party in any given area and to
provide added strength by working flexibly with candidate organizations!
HOW?
- By "targeting" those counties and precincts that are critical in
providing the margin of victory for Republicans:
- By recruiting, training, equipping and dispatching large numbers of
volunteers into these target areas to conduct registration,
special ballot, and voter turnout drives, and to build ballot
security teams!
- By maintaining control through organization and scheduling, developing
fail-safe accountability that will insure the successful completion
of selective registration, special ballots, ballot security, and
voter turnout programs in crucial targeted counties and precincts
within our states!
Such a system and such a program is TARGET '72; a system for "targeting" in on
critical election areas needed for success in the 1972 presidential
election, and a program for "targeting" in on the crucial organizational
tasks that must be accomplished to insure a Republican Victory in 1972.
TARGET '72, in the form of the ROUND-UP" and "VICTORY SQUAD", has enjoyed
tremendous success in California. This success is the result of the
concentrated mobilization of large numbers of volunteers in target areas,
maximizing resources, and in developing accountability, insuring that the
organization tasks are being completed on schedule at all levels.
The following brief descriptions outline the essential details of TARGET '72
voter registration, special ballots, ballot security and voter turnout programs
designed to insure successful completion of essential grass roots organizational
efforts in key target states, county and precincts.
Page Three
TARGET '72 REGISTRATION
TARGET '72: REGISTRATION. The selective registration of all Republicans
and favorable voters in target areas is the most important factor in a
successful campaign. To insure the accomplishment of this goal, the
Republican National Committee has refined a proven and dynamic approach
to registration; an approach involving total mobilization of all working
Republicans for a coordinated and targeted effort right to the grass-roots
level.
TARGET '72: REGISTRATION uses well established registration procedures
and applies them to the "blitz" techniques, proven so successful in
effectively utilizing maximum manpower resources. The TARGET '72:
REGISTRATION project is designed to attract new volunteers into an action
program utilizing the "one-day" volunteer to supplement the regular workers
for an all out effort to find and register every unregistered Republican.
Organizational emphasis is placed upon establishing a TARGET '72 HEADQUARTERS
for every 25 target precincts. TARGET '72 HEADQUARTERS are organized under
the direction of the county TARGET '72 chairman, and are staffed to train,
equip, assign and dispatch "one-day" volunteers on a registration "blitz"
into every target precinct.
TARGET '72 SPECIAL BALLOTS
TARGET '72: SPECIAL BALLOTS. An integral part of any registration and voter
turnout programs is assuring that those favorable voters who, for whatever
reason, cannot vote at the polls on election day are properly voted through
special ballots.
TARGET '72: SPECIAL BALLOTS is a program organized in conjunction with
TARGET '72: REGISTRATION, and charged with the responsibility of insuring
that the aged, military, student, traveling businessmen and other special
voters are identified, registered and voted through special ballots. This
program will concentrate on college compuses, aged homes, military bases
and business to insure success.
Page Four
TARGET '72 BALLOT SECURITY
TARGET '72: BALLOT SECURITY. The final task on election day is to insure
the security of all favorable ballots*cast for Republicans candidates.
TARGET '72: BALLOT SECURITY is a special program designed to recruit, train,
equip and dispatch from TARGET '72 HEADQUARTERS sufficient numbers of ballot
security teams to insure that all target precincts and districts are protected.
Organized under the county TARGET '72 chairman, TARGET '72: BALLOT SECURITY
will depend heavily upon knowledge of the law, mobility and communications
to protect the ballots in target areas. This can be provided through
organization supplied by TARGET '72: BALLOT SECURITY experts.
TARGET '72 VOTER TURNOUT
TARGET '72: VOTER TURNOUT. The most important task on election day
is to insure that every favorable registered voter goes to the polls and
casts his ballot. Because this can be done only on Election Day, Voter
Turnout is very adaptable to "blitz" techniques used in TARGET '72:
REGISTRATION; utilizing a large number of volunteers in a one day effort
to maximize Republican voter turnout.
TARGET '72: VOTER TURNOUT is organized around the highly successful
"Victory Squad" program. mobilizing all volunteer and party workers to
insure that every walkable TARGET '72 precinct has 2 to 4 volunteers
walking the precinct from 2:00 p.m. until the polls close. This is a
walking, not a telephone, operation.
TARGET '72: VOTER TURNOUT is organized around a TARGET '72 HEADQUARTERS
for every 25 precincts. TARGET '72 HEADQUARTERS are organized under
the direction of the County TARGET '72 chairman. Responsible for organizing
and implementing the "Victory Squad", TARGET '72 HEADQUARTERS are staffed
to train, equip, assign and dispatch "one-day" volunteers to walk target
precincts, serve as drivers, poll watchers, runners, telephone clerks and
baby-sitters with the objective of turning out the maximum Republican vote
in the target precincts.

'701 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. NW
WASHINGTON D C 20006
February 7, 1972
(202) 333.0920
CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: Coordinating Functions for the Campaign Operations
As the campaign moves from the planning stage to the operation
phase, it is becoming evident that more extensive systems will
be required to coordinate decision-making within the organization.
This memorandum presents recommendations to acheive better coordi-
nation in three areas: planning, review of advertising materials,
and recommendations submitted to you for approval.
Planning
Up to now, the formal planning has been limited to the New Hampshire
and Florida Primary campaigns. In those cases, an overall planning
document was produced which discussed the objectives of each cam-
paign and the broad strategy which would be employed, based on the
specific circumstances of each state. An operating schedule was
included which showed the time relationship between the major
planned activities. In addition, there was a brief summary of
the projected costs of the major budgeted items. That planning
document, however, was not adequate to fully describe the programs
proposed for each state campaign. Separate and more detailed
plans were submitted for telephone, direct mail and advertising.
It was necessary for the campaign management to be given a series
of presentations in order to review the total plan.
Furthermore, the procedure for approval of each of the program
elements has not been consistent. The content of brochures,
direct mail letters and telephone conversations have been de-
veloped by separate functional areas and separately carried by
them to various persons for review and approval. We have not,
up until now, ascertained from you the specific process of re-
view which would be appropriate for the various forms of media
communication.
CONFIDENTIAL
- 2 -
The formalized planning and review procedure which I would recommend
would draw together the detailed plans of each important functional
area into one document which could then be presented for review and
approval. This consolidation process would also include the step of
assuring that the messages and graphics to be used in any medium would
receive appropriate approval in a systematic way. The purpose of such
a systematic planning function would not be to interpose another layer
of management between those responsible for functional areas and the
Campaign Director, but merely to serve as a coordinating point so that
the plan of all functional areas could be communicated in a more or--
ganized fashion to decision makers. This process would also better
enable us to set an overall theme and objectives for a given state
campaign, and to assure that they are carried through in the planning
of each functional area.
The areas which would be most important in overall planning would be
Advertising, Direct Mail, Telephone, Polling, Surrogate Scheduling,
State and National Press Plans, Voter Bloc Activities and State
Campaign Activities.
We anticipate at this time that the plans will be submitted for each
state where activities are planned in Primary Elections. For the
General Election, the campaign will be under the umbrella of a
national theme and strategy, but at least for the target states,
a comprehensive plan, as discussed above, should be developed for
review and approval. Most likely, it will be useful to extend that
procedure to all the states. In addition, plans would be presented
for overall committee activity during different time periods in the
campaign as appropriate; for example, primaries, post-primary to
convention; and post-convention.
Recommendations
That you approve the establishment of a formal planning and coordinating
function within the Re-election Committee, having the responsibilities
discussed above.

Comment
That you approve the assignment of these responsibilities to Bob Marik.
If Bob is given this assignment, we will develop recommendations re-
lating to his other current responsibilities to assure that he is able

Comment
Review of Advertising Materials
In establishing a formal review procedure for each type of communication
or advertising material, three stages are contemplated. In the first
stage, issue-oriented material would be reviewed for accuracy. Ed
Harper of the Domestic Council Huebner Staff, John Lehman of the National
Security Council Staff or Gil Heedner of the CEA would perform the
review for each of their respective areas. If material, such as a
description of Revenue Sharing, had already been reviewed for one
purpose, it could be used for another without a second review of
content.
The second stage would be a review of the communication in its final
form by a media review board. The media review board would consist
of Garment, Moore, Buchanan, Chapin and Miller, and we would re-
commend either Garment or Miller as the person to act as the Chair-
man of the group, and to be the official sign off. The media review
board would review advertising copy, stories, billboards, and furnish
ideas for television, radio, prints and all brochures, the Nixon Re-
elector, and the entire direct mail and telephone programs. In
addition, Bill Carruthers would review all film that includes the
President.
Pictures of the President would be reviewed by Ollie Atkins, while
pictures of the First Family would be reviewed by Connie Stuart. It
would be Pete Dailey's responsibility to be sure that the review
board or other appropriate individuals had signed off on all of the
above advertising materials, and it would be Bob Morgan's responsi-
bility to be sure that the review board had signed off on materials
used for direct mail purposes.
The third stage would be a formal decision memorandum from me to
you, with a copy to Mr. Haldeman.

That you approve the formalized review procedure described above for
all advertising materials.

Formal Decision-Making Process
You and I have already set up a system to cover decisions brought
to you in three areas:
1. Policy matters
2. Expenditure of funds - including approval of budgets and
specific expenditures of large sums already presented in
overall budgets.
3. Hiring of key personnel
Under the system, when any division requires a decision from you, the
Division Head prepares a memorandum in three copies: the original
for you, one copy for Mr. Haldeman, and one copy for our office.
Before the memorandum is presented to you, we staff it to assure that
it represents no duplication or conflict with activities or policies
elsewhere in the campaign organization.
The memorandum is then passed on to you. Where appropriate, a meeting
is set up for the principal requesting the decision to meet with you
personally. This coordinating function applies only to the three
areas mentioned above, and not to other functions about which you
might want to meet directly with people in the campaign organization.
The system has been operating for some time now, in all areas except
the Political Division and Finance. The Finance area should remain
separate. However, better coordination would result if all other
divisions were under the same system.
CONFIDENTIAL

Recommendation
That the Political Division be brought under the system, and that
their decision memoranda be staffed by this office as described above.

CONFIDENTIAL
MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Attached is our weekly report.
ROBERT C. ODLE, JR.
bcc: Mr. H. R. Haldeman
CONFIDENTIAL
ADVERTISING
Incorporation papers for the task force agency have been
prepared.
A proposed Creative Director will be interviewed by White House
staff personnel on January 19.
Creative and promotion strategy plans have been developed and
will be presented to the Strategy Group at the next meeting.
Promotion materials are being distributed to the states.
Direct mail copy for New Hampshire has been developed.
AGRICULTURE
Consultations and interviews for the selection of a man to head
our field organization effort continued. The ideal candidate
has not yet emerged.
Considerable time was spent in strategy discussions regarding
the Smith-Melcher bill. (The bill raises farm price supports
and establishes a grain reserve.) John Whitaker, Secretary
Butz, Assistant Secretary Palmby, Hyde Murray, Yeutter and
others spent more than an hour on the issue -- the conclusion
being that every effort should be expended on killing the bill
in the Senate Ag Committee.
This bill could have a devastating political impact in 1972.
We have been receiving some telephone calls on the issue, and
will initiate others during the coming week in order to assess
the probable political consequences. As might be expected, the
bill is strongly supported by the Farmers Union and NFO; strongly
opposed by Farm Bureau.
Rural development will soon surface as a 1972 political issue,
with everyone trying to get in on the act. The votes at stake
are those in the nation's small towns. Depending upon how one
defines "small", this encompasses perhaps 20 to 30 per cent of
the nation's population.
If Senator Humphrey wins the Democratic nomination, rural devel-
opment will be one of the key planks of his campaign platform.
He already has held hearings around the country, and has intro-
duced a bill on the subject. If at all possible, the Administration
should attempt to preempt this issue. An Administration bill
is now in draft form, and will hopefully be introduced in
January.
Secretary Butz had a most productive week on the campaign
trail. He made five speeches in four days, three of them
being major addresses to the National Council of Farmer Co-
operatives, National Wheat Growers Association, and the
National Press Club.
John Foltz and Yeutter met during the week with Tom Evans of
the Republican National Committee to establish a working re-
lationship between the two entities. Tom was most gracious
and offered the Committee's complete cooperation. Secretary
Butz also had lunch with Tom and with Anne Armstrong.
Secretary Butz and Yeutter spent an hour discussing a host of
issues. They plan to do this on an "as needed" basis from
now through November.
Assistant Secretary Lyng and Yeutter discussed the California
political situation as a follow up to Yeutter's December visit
to that state.
BLACK LIAISON
During the week conferences were held with key black contacts
with discussions centering around organization of a number of
national citizens committees. Persons talked with represent
black clergy, businessmen, professional athletes, and insurance
men.
The Nixon Illinois State Chairman was briefed on the division's
role and organization, and was given key contacts in the black
community in his state. (We are following up on his request to
recommend black candidates for a position on the state staff.)
Efforts to generate activity in Florida among blacks was
initiated. In this connection, we discussed strategy with
Dent, Brown, and Sexton's office.
Data was collected in connection with setting up briefing books
on (1) black communities throughout the Nation, (2) list of key
contacts by states, and (3) minority recipients of grants,
loans, and contracts. (A need is to develop coordination with
agencies on future grants and contracts to insure maximum benefits.)
-2-
We have been working with planners of the "Bob Brown Dinner"
on January 30 to ensure meeting with a cross-section of persons
coming in from around the Nation.
We brought a secretary on the staff and have received research
assistance from a consultant.
We continue to work on finalizing a basic organizational
strategy document for developing the black vote.
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
We have received approval from all required points of contact
of the names we have selected for Regional and State Chairmen
of our Committee. Letters have been prepared and typed for
Donald Kendall's signature asking these people to serve with
us. Follow-up telephone calls and personal visits will be made
to these state and regional people to assure their willingness
to work with us.
Arrangements have been made for a meeting to be held February 23
in Washington of all state and regional people. At this meeting,
we will instruct them in their job and give them organizing kits
to assist them in organizing the metro areas in their region.
Work has commenced on these organizing kits and is well along.
A further meeting was held with Warner Brothers' representatives.
We will have a story outline in ten days on the movie intended to
point up the importance of the businessman getting actively en-
gaged in the campaign.
Finally, if we are able to keep our organizing and work schedule
as planned, we will be in the field by April 15 with 200 cities
organized, training our people in the "how to" of the job we are
calling on them to do.
JEWISH LIAISON
Efforts to build political support for the re-election effort
are continuing. Larry Goldberg spent two days in New York con-
tacting key people in preparation for future efforts. An even
more positive atmosphere could be built with the President
meeting with some selected Jewish groups in order to take ad-
vantage of the better feeling which exists since the announce-
ments and leaks on the Phantoms.
-3-
The decision of the court which struck down the New York statute
on Parochaid gives growing impetus for some type of federal aid
to non-public schools. Two-thirds of the Jewish parochial school
students are in New York and their schools are in even greater
financial distress due to this decision.
LEGAL
We attended three conferences with Secretary Stans, John Dean,
and others on the effects of the forthcoming Federal Election
Reform Act on campaign fund raising and campaign activities
administration, and advised the research section of the Florida
primary election law. Advice was given regarding the tax
liability of political committees. Six Republican lawyers in
private practice were recruited for volunteer legal research
work. Further advice was given to Hugh Sloan concerning the
telephone billing guarantee procedure and advice was given to
the youth section regarding the Hatch Act. We advised the
direct mail section on procedures under the Florida and New
Hampshire primary laws. We drafted an amendment to the charter
of the Finance Committee for the Re-election of the President
to empower same to deal in securities. We reviewed the contract
for polling services with Decision Making Information, Inc.
POLITICAL
During the week we confirmed chairmen in Montana and North
Dakota. Gaspard Deschamps, a cattle rancher and state senator,
will be chairman in Montana, and John Rouzie, former state GOP
chairman and banker, will be the chairman for North Dakota.
As of January 17 we have announced chairmen in 10 states, 11 are
ready for announcement, and 16 are in the final stages of setting
up; there are 14 states where we are working out problems.
PR/MEDIA
Assistant Press Secretary
Early last week Tom Girard helped with a response to the
McCloskey people on their request as to what rules should be
followed in New Hampshire. On Tuesday, he briefed Secretary
Volpe and talked with Volpe's staff at DOT to prepare Volpe
for his Thursday visit in New Hampshire. Overall, that visit
-4-
went well. Girard also met with Jack Kole of the Milwaukee
Journal and columnist Charles Bartlett. On Thursday, he sat
in with Magruder during an interview with Bob Semple of the
New York Times and at lunch with Hal Bruno of Newsweek.
Girard also met with Linda Hefner of the Philadelphia
Bulletin. On Saturday, he joined Van Shumway, Bill Liss and
Scott Peters in a daylong discussion of the radio - TV plans.
Meantime, he continues to work out the details for the moni-
toring apparatus.
News Bureau
Art Amolsch worked closely with Dore, Girard and Shumway in
planning the coordination which will be required among the
communications units during the campaign. Amolsch also wrote
a short speech for the Secretary of Transportation to use
during his appearance at the grand opening of the New Hampshire
Committee headquarters. He also wrote two press releases for
that appearance as well as releases on the Nevada and Utah
Committees. Working with suggestions from Bob Marik, he wrote
the first and final drafts of the letter from Governor Dwinell
to Robert Reno, McCloskey campaign manager in New Hampshire.
Amolsch also researched the possibility of using editorial
placement services to disseminate favorable editorial opinion
during the campaign.
State Announcements
Illinois -- Ann Dore attended the press conference announcing
the Illinois Committee for the Re-Election of the President on
Monday, January 10. Following the press conference, Ann Dore
met with Jean Mahon of the Martin Janis PR firm who will be
working on the Illinois campaign for Tom Houser as the PR consul-
tant.
Utah --- Ann Dore prepared the chairman for his announcement and
the press package was put together by Amolsch working with the
chairman.
Nevada -- Amolsch prepared the press package for the chairman,
Cliff Young, and Ann Dore did the ground work. At the suggestion
of Cliff Young, there was no formal press conference. Cliff
worked with a local press consultant to arrange individual inter-
views during which he made the announcement. He personally talked
with 3 TV stations, 2 radio, and 2 newspapers, all of which gave
good coverage. The TV and radio stations taped interviews that
were used on the evening news.
-5-
Colorado -- Ann worked closely with Governor Love's press
secretary in arranging the press conference.
New Hampshire -- Ann worked with members of the press depart-
ment as well as John Sias in New Hampshire and Secretary
Volpe's office to arrange for media coverage and plans follow-
ing the Secretary's appearance at the opening of the head-
quarters.
Miscellaneous -- Photos of all press conferences are being
taken and given to Frank Leonard for use in campaign publi-
cations.
SPOKESMEN RESOURCES
Schedulers for Cabinet Members, senior White House staff members,
and Agency Directors have been contacted and advised by telephone
of the twenty-seven states that should be given priority when
scheduling surrogate candidates.
The schedulers have also been told to inform their principals
that when asked how well the President will do in the New Hamp-
shire and Florida primaries, the response should be that we think
he will get a "majority" of the votes. The schedulers were also
asked to remind their principals that in 1968 when he ran unopposed
in the New Hampshire primary, the President gained 79% of the vote.
This year he has two challengers, one of whom has the support of a
major New Hampshire newspaper, and they are expected to do well.
Tom Houser, Chairman of the Illinois Committee, and Warne Nunn,
Executive Director of the Oregon Committee, met with Bart Porter
and Curt Herge for the purpose of becoming acquainted with the
program of the Spokesmen Resources Division.
Joe Horacek, Executive Director of the Celebrities for the
President program, reports that he is making key contacts for
entertainment and sports figures. Emphasis has been placed upon
supporters of Youth for Nixon. Persons that have been contacted
and will be prime contacts for celebrities are Francis Dale of
Cincinnati, Chic Doherty of MCA Records, Robert Wood, President
of CBS, Frank Rogers, and Cy Laughter.

WOMEN
Pat Hutar and Nancy Steorts visited New Hampshire January 12
and 13. Wednesday meetings were held with Governor Dwinell,
who indicated that he was concentrating on delegate selection
at the present time. He said that there would probably be
four women elected as delegates this year. In 1968 there were
no women delegates from New Hampshire, so this shows very
favorable progress.
Roma Spaulding, Assistant Chairman, arranged a luncheon with
approximately twenty-four women who represent almost all the
key areas in New Hampshire. Pat Hutar explained to these women
the importance of recruiting volunteers for the telephone
operation which will be one of the main responsibilities of
the volunteers.
Meetings were also held with Allan Walker, Executive Director.
He said all ten counties have co-ordinators and 175 persons have
been recruited to serve as co-ordinators in cities and towns. A
county co-ordinator will appoint county chairmen from among
prestigious community leaders.
When Pat Hutar asked about the door to door canvassing to get
out the vote, Allan replied that it was very difficult to
organize a door to door canvass. When pressed, he indicated
that Youth for Nixon could handle this phase. He did not seem
too concerned about precinct work. This would appear to be our
real weakness. A comprehensive door to door canvass seems
especially necessary since our candidate will not be campaigning
in the state. Telephone and direct mail cannot replace personal
calls on the voter. This information was reported to Harry
Flemming, and he plans to send Al Kaupinen to New Hampshire to
work with Allan on precinct organization.
We also discussed the use of volunteers in the door to door
operation. Bob Marik is checking with Bob Morgan to see if the
computer can print out precinct lists by street address for the
Nixon supporters identified in the phone canvass. This would
enable us to work at maximum efficiency in getting out the Nixon
vote.
A dinner meeting was held with Mildred Perkins, National Commit-
teewomen, and Vickie Zachos. Mildred said she felt cooperation
between regular party workers and Nixon volunteers would be
better than in 1968. She believes Nixon volunteers should
operate a precinct canvass to get out the vote in addition to
the coffees, telephoning, direct mail pieces, etc.
-7-
The opening of the first headquarters was held January 13 in
Concord. Secretary Volpe was the key note speaker. Citizens
from many parts of New Hampshire were present even though the
weather was very foggy. Senator Cotton and Governor Peterson
were present as well as many of the State Legislators. The
presence of the youth added a delightful new dimension to the
crowd and many of the young people came with posters which they
had designed.
Secretary Volpe gave a very inspirational speech and made several
personal references to President Nixon and the excellent record
he has made.
Press coverage was good. The major networks were present as
well as local press. Secretary Volpe also spoke at the Technical
Institute in Concord as well as at Concord High School.
Senator Muskie, Representative McCloskey, and Representative
Ashbrook were also in town on January 13. McCloskey and Ashbrook
have been getting good coverage in the local newspapers. Recent
editorials have been quite critical of President Nixon.
In Maine, we met for dinner with State Chairman Ned Harding and
Co-Chairman Donna Tibbetts. Both Mr. Harding and Mrs. Tibbetts
are held in high esteem for their 1968 effort. They will be
announced officially in about ten days.
As in 1968, the northern section of the state will be covered by
Mrs. Tibbetts; the southern portion will be covered by Mr. Harding.
They plan to rely on the regular organization for a large part of
the precinct work but will supplement with Nixon volunteers where
necessary.
Mr. Harding said they will concentrate on communicating the
President's outstanding record to the voters. Speakers will be
brought in and given the broadest possible press and television
coverage. Even though Secretary Maurice Stans was unable to fly
in for a Thursday speech, his remarks were relayed by telephone
to an audience drawn from all over the state.
There is concern that a Maine favorite son candidate would mean
losing Maine for the President.
YOUTH
The formal kickoff for the youth campaign in New Hampshire will
be Saturday, January 22. Expected are more than 200 young people
who will participate in the formal office opening at Manchester
-8-
and then conduct a door to door voter registration drive.
Senator Weicker will be the speaker.
A test drive conducted last week in New Hampshire had these
results:
Nixon

Ashbrook

Of the 147 supporting the President, 27 were unregistered.
At the formal opening of the campaign headquarters on January 13,
we supplied many young people.
At our request, Harry F. McNaught, Indiana Boys Nation delegate,
wrote all the other Boys Nation delegates. In his letter,
McNaught said:
"What is the real nature of our President? was a question which
I thought about a great deal. I set aside the significant but
emotional thoughts of our visit to the White House and dug deeper
into the black and white of Mr. Nixon's record, not only as
President but as a public servant since his days as Congressman,
Senator, and Vice-President."
"I found a man of character who is deeply patriotic to his
country, not just in the sense of flagwaving, but patriotic in the
sense of a firm belief in a people and their land. "
"I found a man of action who has long advocated the right of 18-
year-olds to vote and finally as President saw to its adoption
as the 26th Amendment to the Constitution. His most recent moves
in the area of our economy and in furthering our diplomatic
relations with USSR and the People's Republic of China substantiate
his record as a man of action on the domestic front as well as in
foreign affairs. "
Finally, and most importantly, I have found a commitment within
myself to Mr. Nixon in his bid for re-election in 1972. I invite
you to join with me and many others who support the President,
not just on what I have presented in this letter to you, but on
what you find in Mr. Nixon, using what I have said as a beginning."
-9-
"I am actively involved in President Nixon's re-election efforts
and I hope you will also become involved and committed in elect-
ing a President in '72. Further, I hope you will find in that
participation a greater interest and understanding of our system
of government. If you are interested in doing so, please contact
me as soon as possible. November 2, 1972 is only a primary, a
convention, and a few speeches away!!!'
In February we will conduct mock elections on college campuses
in New Hampshire. Florida's statewide college primary is
scheduled for March 7.
Senator Dominick, representing the President, will address the
student body at the University of Tennessee on January 26.
Several Democrats will appear, but Dominick will open the forum.
Representative Frey will address the student body at the Univer-
sity of Tennessee on March 2. This will close out the series.
Peter Peterson will speak at the International Affairs Seminar
at Kearney State College in Nebraska. This was originally a
Presidential request.
Senator Brock will speak at the Hinckley Institute of the
University of Utah.
Representative Sam Steiger will represent the President at Miami
High School in Arizona. This was originally a Presidential re-
quest.
Representative Peyser will address the student body of the State
University of New York at Albany in behalf of the President.
Secretary Richardson will address the student body at the Univ-
ersity of Pennsylvania.
Denver Councilman Linden Blue represented the President at a
convocation of the Colorado Student Lobby. (Originally a
Presidential request.)
Don Rumsfeld is tentatively scheduled to meet with student
groups from the University of New Hampshire at his February 18
speech to the UNH alumni.
Representative Frey will speak on behalf of the President to
the Florida YR's on February 26. Ashbrook will speak to the
group in the morning.
-10-
Representatives Kemp and Steiger will go to New Hampshire
to meet with various groups of young people -- campus, high
school and social events -- on the weekend of February 4-5.
The President's letter to each of the "Friends of Richard
Nixon" was dispatched this past week.
RESEARCH
Since July, 1971, Nixon has been ahead of Muskie in the Harris
polls. However, the two are now merging both at 42%, and
Wallace is leveling off at 11%.
The 9% spread between Nixon and Humphrey is identical to that
recorded in the November Harris survey. Again Wallace's
support is constant. Muskie has picked up ground, but Humphrey
has not.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: Florida Primary Plan
Direct Mail/Presidential Commitment Program
This is an expansion of the Florida Direct Mail program
described in the January 14, 1972 memorandum. The plan which
follows has been discussed and agreed to by Tommy Thomas in a
meeting last week in Tallahassee.
The overall Florida Primary objectives are to:
1. Integrate the volunteers generated by the direct
mail effort into a cohesive organization to conduct
a personal drive in the primary to get out the vote
for President Nixon.
2. Maximize the number of voters for President Nixon
on March 14.
3. Develop the volunteer organization SO that it
remains as a working group of trained people for
the general election campaign.
The Direct Mail objectives are:
1. To provide a highly personalized mass medium to
communicate with and influence the voter to support
the President.
2. To increase the voter turnout of those supporting
the President.
3. To motivate a large number of people to involve
themselves in the campaign as volunteers.
Description of the Program
Direct mail ensemble - 3rd class bulk Universal Indicia with
an address correction requested
CONFIDENTIAL
-2-
Personalized computer letter with dual volunteer cards
Window mailing envelope
Re-elect the President window sticker
Business reply envelope
The Republican lists in Florida are being generated by purchasing
them directly from the top 10 counties. The top 10 counties
represent 80% of the registered Republican voters. Securing the
lists from the counties is our alternative course of action. The
registration list promised was not delivered and all efforts to
secure it have not brought results.
The mailings are scheduled to go out by county based on when they
come in. Each county's computer tape will come in with a different
computer tape format and will have to be converted to the Commit-
tee's standard format. Several counties only supply print outs and
have to be converted to magnetic tape. The mailings should start
being mailed the 2nd week in February and continue until completed.
The proposed personalized computer letter is shown in Tab A. The
volunteer card is a dual card as shown in Tab B. Both the top and
bottom portions have the volunteer's name and address. The top
portion going to the county chairmen will have a place for the
telephone number. The card will be attached to the bottom of the
letter.
The Response System
1.
The volunteer tears off the dual card, fills it out and
sends it in the Business Reply Envelope.
2.
The state committee receives the card and does three
things:
A.
Tears the card in half.
B.
Sends the top half to the county if the volunteer
personally wants to participate in the campaign
and sends the bottom portion to the Data Center.
C.
Records the money donated, keeps the top half for
the state's finance committee, and sends the bot-
tom half to the Data Center.
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
-3-
The Data Center puts the volunteer on magnetic tape and codes
the name for personally volunteering or giving a monetary
contribution (specific dollar amount). The names of the people
contributing money would be duplicated and a tape with the
amount would be sent to the Committee's financial group for
future fund raising. The other volunteers are kept on tape for
future follow up, print outs by city or county could be gene-
rated for organization purposes or personal letters for other
get-out-the-vote projects.
The county chairman would call the volunteers and ask them to
come into the county headquarters to pick up their Presidential
Commitment kit. They would naturally be sold on the person to
person program, and hopefully participate more enthusiastically
this way.
The Presidential Commitment kit consists of 10 Presidential
Commitment cards as shown in Tab C, 11 issue brochures (in the
process of being printed), and a print out of the 10 Republicans
in their zip code to contact. A script will be printed on one
side of the envelope as shown in Tab D. The volunteer will con-
tact the 10 Republicans on his list, get a commitment and call
them two days before the election to remind them to vote. The
county chairman or his designate will call the volunteer to
follow up on his contacts and assist him if necessary. Once the
volunteer gets a commitment he tears off the bottom half of the
commitment card and sends it to the county SO they will have a
record of the volunteer's action.
The instruction sheet to be enclosed in the kit is shown in Tab
E. A complete systems diagram of the program is attached as
shown in Tab F.
Recommendation
That you approve the integrated Volunteer Presidential Commitment
Program which includes a planned effort to use the volunteers
down to the zip code level.

MEMORANDUM FOR:
PRESIDENTIAL VOLUNTEER
FROM:
TOMMY THOMAS
SUBJECT:
Presidential Commitment Program
First, thank you for volunteering to actively participate in the Presi-
dential Commitment Program. Our goal in the primary is to get out as
many registered Republicans as we can to help show our support for the
President's re-election.
In this kit you will find 10 Presidential Commitment cards, 11 issue
brochures (one for yourself) and a list of 10 registered Republicans
living close to you in your zip code area. This is how this personal
program works:
1.
Personally, or by phone, contact each name on the list and
ask them to commit their vote for President Nixon. Use the
conversation shown in the instruction printed on the canvass
kit. For those who do not plan to vote for the President,
thank them for their time and go on to. the next name.
2.A. Fill out the name, address and telephone number of each com-
mitted voter on both the top and bottom portions of the card.
B. Fill out your name and telephone number on the bottom portion
of the card.
3.
Tear the card in half keeping the top half so you can call
again three days before the election to remind them to vote.
Stamp and send in the bottom portion to your county
headquarters.
4.
Call your county coordinator on Monday, March 13th to tell us
how well you did.
I know the President will appreciate your active participation in Florida's
Presidential Commitment Program.
P.S. Let's really get out a big Primary vote for the President on March
14th.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: Computer Mapping Project
An integral part of the "target voter" strategy in 1972 will be to
geographically locate the Democrat and Independent voters who are
most likely to support the President, SO that mass media, direct
mail, telephone and precinct walkers can be focused on areas where
those people are most heavily concentrated.
Recent developments in computer technology, along with the availability
of 1970 census data, have made it possible to display current demo-
graphic and voter behavior information in the form of computer maps.
A sample (of Los Angeles County) is attached as Tab A. This type of
format allows rapid analysis of data which would otherwise have to
be presented in lengthy tabular form.
After the computer software has been adopted to our particular
requirements, the maps should cost about $25-$50 each. We will
have the ability to generate such maps for all metropolitan areas
in the target states. Some development work, however, is necessary
on a one-time basis before the map project can begin. We have identi-
fied a vendor, Survey Research Services, Inc., in Texas, who is techni-
cally capable of producing the maps, using UCC computers. Dick Stone,
the President, is a former Research Director of the Washington State
Republican Party and a reliable Republican.
The specific objectives of the development project are given in Tab B,
Briefly, the objectives are to develop the necessary computer software
to produce prototype maps of New Hampshire, for use in the primary cam-
paign, and to determine the least expensive computer configuration for
producing the maps. The total cost of the project would be less than
$5,000. The budget is given in Tab C.

We would like authorization to commit up to $5,000 for this project
in order to proceed on the map development and have maps available
for use in New Hampshire. That primary will also serve as a test to
determine exactly how the maps can be used in a campaign situation.
Recommendation
That you approve a budget commitment of up to $5,000 to carry out the
pilot project to develop a computer mapping capability for use in the
campaign.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR PILOT PROJECT
The pilot project will be a systematic, organized attempt to answer several
basic questions concerning the total mapping project. The pilot project
should, therefore, allow the contractor to discover the best methods and
procedures which will achieve the stated goals of the pilot project. With
this in mind, only the beginning and ending points are defined. The exact
procedures of how to optimumly get from one to the other is the purpose of
this pilot project.
Goals of the Pilot Project:
1. To discover what computer configuration will produce the
maps at the lowest per map cost.
2. To discover whether it is better to produce the final maps on
on line or off line.
3. To maximize the operation of the SYMAP program in relation
to the demands of the total project and the computer system
to be used in the final project.
4. To revise the government software, if necessary, so as to
efficiently produce mapping files on primate machine systems.
5. To determine the relative advantages of producing the final
maps at a central operation or at several locations.
6. To attempt to develop cost estimate curves for maps of
various sizes, shapes, complexities, and details.
Detailed Objectives of the Pilot Project
The goals of the pilot project assume that several specific operations will
be achieved. These are discussed in more detail in this section.
First, the SYMAP program will have to be modified in at least two ways.
The core storage allocated to COMMON will have to be maximized. This
will have the benefit of both reducing the execution time, and also
increasing the size of maps that can be produced. The logic of this
suggests that machines with very large core storage should be used;
however, there may will be a sharp tradeoff between reduced execution
times and actual per map costs because of the larger CPU charges of
larger machines. At this time we must assume that this is a real possi-
bility. The pilot project should seek to discover the machine configuration
which achieves the lowest per map cost, and then optimize the execution of
SYMAP on this machine system.
- 2 -
In addition, the SYMAP program will have to be modified slightly to produce
maps in the form that is desired. By introducing different parameters into
the program's electives, the size of the final map can be altered to achieve
large maps of an entire urban area, or maps at the exact size and scale of
the final printed metropolitan maps produced by the Census Bureau. The
latter size will probably be used most during the project. The key to the
shadings of the maps needs to be printed immediately below the first strip
of the map.
Also, the upper left corner of these maps needs to be fixed in one of two
alternate locations, depending upon which form of the GPO maps are being
matched. These two modifications will allow a standard size of paper
(17" X 16") to be used, and thus minimize the clerical work required to
put the maps in their final form.
If the advantages of producing the final maps off line outweigh the advantages
of producing them on line, a review of the capabilities of various off line
printers needs to be made. This review may suggest that various changes
need to be made in the print file created by SYMAP. One alternative that
might be explored is whether the off line printer can be fitted with a special
print chain or type bar which will eliminate the need for overprinting. This
would produce maps with more uniform shadings and higher quality lines.
Doing this, however, would require a modification of the print routine in
the SYMAP program and in the construction of the print file. One major
problem with this is that it would require that the off line printer would be
a dedicated system for map production and other standard printing jobs such as
printing mailing labels, vote analyses, or. demographic analyses. Clearly,
this would be a decision which would need more thought to determine whether
it is realistic and economically feasible.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: CAMPAIGN STRATEGY GROUP
The following are the subjects covered by the Campaign Strategy Group
this week:
Polling. Bob Teeter reported that the New Hampshire and Wisconsin
baseline surveys had been completed. The Florida results will be
completed within the next few days.
In New Hampshire, we are in "reasonably good shape." Nothing was
found in the polls which is in conflict with what we plan to do.
The results are "encouraging," for both the Primary and the General
Election. There is no bloc of voters who are alienated from the
President. The poll was taken in late December, before Representative
Ashbrook announced his candidacy. A telephone survey will be taken
in early February, and perhaps again in late February, to monitor
any trends which may develop.
In Wisconsin, the President is in good shape. However, this is very
early data, and the awareness of the opposition is very low. A tele-
phone survey is planned for the weekend after the New Hampshire pri-
mary.
Direct Mail. Because there will be no appearances by the candidate
in New Hampshire, and limited use of mass media, a great deal of
emphasis will be placed on the use of direct mail to reach the voters.
Bob Morgan, who will manage the direct mail for the committee, made
an informal presentation of the plan for New Hampshire and Florida.
In summary, the plan is as follows:
Three Mailings to Republicans. (93,000 households)

Independents. The original plan proposed mailings only to Republicans.
Is was the opinion of the Strategy Group that Independents should also
be included, since they have the option to vote in the Republican pri-
mary. In all, there are about 125,000 Independents in the state (an
estimated 70,000 households.) At most, 15%, or about 20,000 may vote
in the Republican Primary. Over 100,000 of the 160,000 Republicans are
expected to vote. Whereas a Republican mailing list already existed in
the state, the registered Independents will have to be compiled from
township clerk lists. Volunteers from the New Hampshire Committee will
be used, and the addresses will be collected on a priority basis from
towns where the President received his greatest support in 1968. The
Independents will receive two mailings--the 2nd and 3rd shown for the
registered Republicans.
CONFIDENTIAL
- 3 -
Direct Mail/Telephone Interface. The Republican list has been printed
out by city and the volunteers in New Hampshire are looking up the
telephone numbers--then writing them on the print-out. Interpreted
IBM cards will be produced in the same sequence, showing name, address,
city, state and zip code. There will be places for recording the
voting intention of each individual, based on a telephone canvass:
favorable, unfavorable or undecided. If undecided, the volunteer
will mark the issue (s) of most interest to the voter, send the card
to a controlled computer facility; then the card will be used to
generate a computer letter which is sent to the undecided voter,
along with literature describing the President's record on the issue
in question. The undecided voter should receive his letter with
issues about seven days after the first phone call. Then there will
be a second phone call to see if the voter has decided in favor of the
President. If the phone calls find the voter to be supporting Ashbrook
or McCloskey, his name will be eliminated from the sample ballot mailing.
All favorable voters will be contacted in a Get-Out-The-Vote operation
at the end of the campaign.
Testing. The techniques proposed for the New Hampshire mail program
represent the best that is known from both the commercial and politi-
cal worlds. However, controlled tests will be made to attempt to
verify the assumptions and to determine the effect of direct mail on
the voting results. They will include variations on the number of
mailings as well as comparing personalized (computer letter) VS. non-
personalized (offset letter.) It is proposed to test in about 10% of
the voting districts. If direct mail affects the vote by as much as
5%, the tests will cause a one-half of one percent variance in the final
totals. That degree of influence was deemed acceptable by the group for
the purpose involved.
The Florida Primary.
There are about 730,000 registered Republicans in Florida. There will
be three mailings for certain, and if possible, a 4th mailing. The
concepts will cross-validate the New Hampshire efforts as well as to
offer additional opportunities for testing variables.
The Florida Campaign.
The general strategy for the Florida Primary was reviewed. Because
the Republicans are largely conservative, every effort will be made
to involve leading state conservatives and to have them publicly pro-
claim their support for the President. It was suggested that former
CONFIDENTIAL
- 4 -
State Chairman, Bill Murfin, now with the SBA in New Orleans, could
be used to approach the Republican leaders whom Tommy Thomas does
not know well.
Direct mail will once again be used as an important communications
media. A letter co-signed by Cramer and Gurney would be effective
in uniting two large factions behind the President. A letter signed
by Senator Goldweter or Governor Reagan would be extremely persuasive.
Great care must be taken with regard to former Governor Kirk and
Harold Carswell, to avoid a negative impact on the campaign.
Tommy Thomas will be most useful in dealing with the press and with
leading politicians in the state. There will probably be less
organizational activity than in New Hampshire. It will be focused
primarily on Get-Out-The-Vote operations near Election Day. The
telephone canvass activity, of the type used in New Hampshire, is
proposed to be done with professional operators, because sufficient
volunteers are not expected to be available.
Approximately 80% of the registered Republicans are located in ten
counties, so that first priority will be given to the regions of the
state where the concentration is the greatest. (Tabs A and B.)
Recent Public Exposure of the First Family.
The recent appearance of the President with Dan Rather was reviewed
in the context of the themes to be projected during the campaign.
The press coverage of Mrs. Nixon's trip to Africa was thought to be
very positive. Her very favorable standing with the American people
will be a great asset during the campaign.
The Public Relations Function of the Re-election Committee.
Cliff Miller reviewed the progress in organizing the public relations
area and building the staff. A preliminary organization chart is
attached (Tab C). Final decisions in some cases have not yet been
made.
Miscellaneous.
Harry Dent discussed the possible appointment of a Black woman judge
to the Federal bench in North Carolina. He stated that many of the
GONFIDENTIAL
- 5 -
leading state politicians favor the appointment, but all facets of the
situation must be evaluated carefully.
It was suggested that spokesmen such as John Connally, Harry Dent and
John Ehrlichman, are particularly effective in presenting the human
side of the President and the personal characteristics and strengths
which he brings to the office. Harry Dent was asked to prepare some
speech material based on this view of the man which is too infrequently
presented to the public.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
THROUGH: JEB S. MAGRUDER
SUBJECT: Representative Ashbrook's Direct Mail Campaign
During the past few weeks, The Richard A. Viguerie Company, a leading
political direct mail house, has been under intense pressure from the
Ashbrook people to commence voter registration and fund raising mail-
ings on behalf of the Congressman's candidacy. This pressure has
been focused particularly on Viguerie himself, who is something of a
conservative ideologue and who was keenly disappointed in losing the
Nixon campaign fund-raising contract to Walter Weintz and Company,
Incorporated, which is the RNFC's consultant in direct mail.
My contact with the firm, Steve Winchell, its Vice President, has been
arguing against taking the Ashbrook contract, and has even hinted at
resigning should one be signed. However, this morning he told me that
Viguerie made the decision last night to go ahead, and that contracts
were now being prepared.
The firm would do two series of mailings: the first would be to the
conservative contributors file which the company has been building
since the early '60s and which was the basis for the successful
Goldwater, Rafferty, Carter, and Reagan fund raising efforts. There
are over 3 million conservative contributors on this list, and only
Viguerie has the list. These mailings will be anti-Nixon in tone.
The second series of mailings would involve voter solicitation appeals
to every registered voter in New Hampshire and Florida.
Due to the damage such-mailings could cause, we have been trying to
get the firm not to accept the Ashbrook account. Although I have
told Winchell that there will be Nixon vote solicitation mailings

available to Viguerie if it did not participate in the Ashbrook
campaign, Richard Viguerie himself is more moved by ideological
arguments than good business sense, and so far this tack has no
effect.
However, it is proposed that we get two or three prominent con-
servative leaders now in the President's camp, who have used
Viguerie before, to call Richard Viguerie and ask him not to
accept the Ashbrook account. The most influential, of course,
would be Senator Goldwater who was responsible for the beginnings
of the 3 million name list. Also, Senator Thurmond and Max
Rafferty, both former Viguerie clients, could call the company's
president.

SUBJECT: Office Space for Advertising Agency
T. W. Evans put us in touch with a prominent New York realtor who
I have been working with in attempting to find suitable space for
our advertising agency in New York. I have been to New York twice
to inspect several possible locations.
We now recommend that we lease the entire 27th floor of the office
building at 909 Third Avenue for $12,000 per month for ten months,
February 1 to December 1, 1972. This price includes partitioning,
carpeting, draperies, cleaning, electricity, and all furniture
(desks, files, chairs, etc.). The space consists of 25,000 square
feet which is adequate for all our needs through November and would
also accommodate our New York State Committee for the Re-Election
of the President for two or three months until it gets in high gear.
Permission is therefore requested to enter into a lease for this
space at a total cost of $120,000.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: Yankelovich Presentation on College Youth
Ken Rietz met last week with Daniel Yankelovich who has
taken yearly polls of college youth since 1967. In his
polls Yankelovich has found two "revolutions" going on
simultaneously:
1) The Social Revolution - changing values on money, sex
authority, how one lives, etc.
2) The Radical Political Revolution - a steady swing in
sentiment during the 1960's in support of radical, even
violent change. The Radical Political Revolution culminated
in the violence around Cambodia and Kent State incidents. By
1970 the "revolution" had taken a "step backward" and
Yankelovich's prognosis is that it will continue to retreat.
They are no more happy with the way things are than they were
before, but there has been a great turning inward, a return
to private concerns that has superceded an involvement with
public affairs.
The Social Revolution "marches steadily on" with a potentially
massive impact on the politics of the future. Less and less do
the college young find anything worth fighting a war over -
extra-marital relations, abortion, homosexuality and casual
pre-marital relations are less and less seen as morally wrong
(sexual concerns are an area of massive change - almost an
exact reversal of the percentages of 20 years ago). Two thirds
of the college young in 1968 affirmed that, yes, hard work
always pays off. By 1971 it was down to 39%.
Here, too, is another dramatic shift that Yankelovich predicts
a charismatic leader will politically capitalize on in the next
2-5 years, the breakdown of the "work bargain" -- work loyalty
in exchange for straight economic benefits. Now they ask for
more than money or a job with prestige. They ask for a satis-
fying job, a job that is "worthwhile," meaningful, and so on.

College youth have a very Marxian outlook as to how the country
is going - 58% now say our country is democratic in name only
as compared to 58% in 1968 who disagreed with that. 51% say
the "real" power in the country lies in the giant corporations
and 26% more say "financial institutions," a very similar idea.
10% say the power is in the hands of the general public and 26%
say it is in the hands of the President.
While college youth have, according to Yankelovich, a radical
perception of the society and how it works, they are essentially
moderate in their prescription fcr change and conservative in
their underlying beliefs and values. Most say work within the
system. As Yankelovich remarked, this is a very unique outlook.
They oppose institutions of all kinds but feel the necessity
of working for change from within.
Politically, roughly 30% are considered "alienated" - ready to
leave the country. Vietnam is still a key issue and the "single
worst thing" that could happen to the President on campus is to
have the belief on election day that the U.S. is remaining in
Vietnam only to support the Saigon government. A key point here
is that Yankelovich believes Vietnam (still tied in the campus
mind to cold war policies) has been a mental block precluding
the college youth from viewing as a new foreign policy the
various international initiatives of the President. These young
people have not separated the new efforts in Vietnam from past
policies.
Fully 88% say they intend to vote. "Justice" and the "environment"
are very emotional issues, code words that should be big on
campus during the campaign, and the college young will probably
vote more as a block than any other segment of the youth vote.
Yankelovich does not expect the youth vote to roughly break even
(only if Humphrey is the nominee does he expect this) and he
believes the youth vote could well make the decisive difference.
He briefly noted that there are no more dramatic differences
anywhere in the electorate than between college and non-college
young people. Indeed there is far more difference between them
than between the generations or races. The non-college values
are changing much more slowly, though they are changing. Law
and order is a major issue among them and the "psycology" around
the fear of street crime he predicts will be a major issue in 1972 -
much bigger than in 1968 or 1970.

UPI reports the GOP unvoiled its show piece in their
youth drive -- an array of 40 young celebrities from
beauty queens, olympic stars to S. Carolina's 21 -year-
old legislator, who said she would thank RN "for all
the young people of America" for his "backbone and
initiative, for the peace talks, winding down the war
and Court appointments" if he were present. Rep.
Brock claimed there had never been an array like
the young GOP committee in all political history,
noting they will "actively participate in the campaign. "
Brock cited 350 "first time voters" who canvased
10, 000 N. H. homes for RN over the weekend
AP led a story: "Hoping not to be outdone by the

SUBJECT:
Senator Scott
On Tuesday, January 11, 1972, we were advised by Allan Walker
that the sponsors of the Nashua Chamber of Commerce dinner
on February 23, 1972 had decided that Senator Scott was not
an acceptable speaker. (We had been told by Allan on Monday,
January 10th, that Senator Scott was acceptable and the Senator's
office was advised accordingly by Ernie Minor on Monday,
January 10.) On Tuesday, we were told that the only individuals
that would be acceptable were: (1) Sec. Volpe, (2) Sec. Connally,
or (3) Sen. Kennedy. We obtained a commitment from Sec. Volpe
to speak at the event on Wednesday, January 12th, and immediately
got in touch with Ernie Minor and asked him to advise Senator
Scott. Curt Herge and I discussed the problem with Ernie on
Wednesday, January 12th, twice over the telephone and once in
the office.
On Monday, January 17th, we were advised that Senator Scott
had announced to the press in Pennsylvania that he was scheduled
to speak at this event. The announcement was made to the press
on January 15th or 16th. We immediately got in touch with
Ernie, who confessed that he had not had an opportunity to
advise the Senator's office of the cancellation. He did so
that afternoon (January 17). On January 28th, Curt discussed
the matter with the Senator's A.A., Martin Hamburger. Hamburger
confirmed that Ernie did not get in touch with him until January
17th. Curt then asked whether the Senator had agreed to accept
an invitation to another New Hampshire event that we had asked
Ernie to relay to the Senator on the morning of January 27th.
Mr. Hamburger said he had not heard of the invitation and was
pleased to take the information from Curt.

SUBJECT: NEW HAMPSHIRE "YCUNG VOTERS" RALLY
Over 350 "Young Voters for the President" were at the rally,
cheering enthusiastically. Casual observers brought the
crowd to well over 400, as was reported by the press. We
blocked one street and enfringed heavily on another, the
main street in town. The crowd looked very good.
Expenses included the cost of six buses (we cancelled one),
two kegs of beer and some cokes, sound equipment and
other minor costs. We put up 200 people in 2 dorms at
New Hampshire College. They slept on the floor and there
was no cost involved.
Workers were distributed to five of the largest cities in
New Hampshire. They rang 10,803 door bells, contacting
5,574 people, 1,816 of which were for the President. Only
234 of those for the Fresident were not registered to vote.
We have addressed envelopes to the pro-Nixon unregistered,
and compiled a list of names and addresses of the 2,391
undecided. A graph of the statistics is attached.
A particular problem area was the media. The New Hampshire
Committee for the Re-election of the Presidnet was handling
the media for this event. They did not seem to take it
seriously. Their media man tried to be co-operative, but
obviously had too many other things to do. The press
release went out late (the Thursday night before the Saturday
merning event), and much of the media had not received it
Friday afternoon. On Friday morning, I volunteered to call
some of the media, and the N.H. Committee's media man, John
Sias, gave me a list of 10 people to call. I called them
and volunteered for more. At 4:10 p.m. John called back
and gave me 10 more to call, including the big press from
COMMITTEE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF THE PRESIDENT
1701 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE N.W

Boston (Globe, Traveler, WRLA, etc.). The response from
these was: "We didn't get your release and its awfully
late to be calling." The N.H. Committee to Re-elect
the President oidn't seem to be uncooperative so much as
just too busy to be bothered with youth.
Attached are clippings we have found so far on the event.
In addition it was on RKO radio, Boston, and was filmed for
a documentary on National Education T.V.
Miscellaneous benefits at the rally include: Great public
relations with locals, i.e. "its nice to see young people
working for Nixon, and "youth can't be all bad. Our
youth demoralized the EcCloskey headquarters in Concord.
It developed credibility for the idea that youth support
the president. It increased morale among local troops.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: New York State
As you may recall, Bob Marik met last summer in Syracuse, New York
with the people who were working on reapportionment with Speaker
Perry Duryea. Last week, members of Mr. Duryea's political staff
came to Washington to discuss with our committee avenues of mutual
cooperation for the 1972 campaign. The people attending from New
York were Henry Mund, Dick Scolaro, Charlie Webb, Jim Threatte and
Lynn Mueller. Together, the function of this group is to develop
a strategy for the Republican party to retain a legislative majority
in New York in 1972.
They applied a statewide program in 1968 and 1970, and feel that
they have been instrumental in maintaining a Republican majority.
At the state level, they develop plans for the campaign in each
Assembly district; provide demographic and past voter data; ad-
vise on public relations and advertising; and in cases of marginal
Assembly districts, provide a campaign manager to execute the
strategy which has been developed.
Their visit in Washington had been scheduled with Governor Rockefeller's
knowledge and approval. Out of our discussions together, five areas
of possible cooperation emerged:
1. Polling - They have engaged Bob Teeter to do the polling
within the Assembly districts. Therefore, it should not be difficult
to analyze our respective polling plans and to determine if there are
areas where our efforts could be combined and the costs shared.
2. Direct Mail - Their plans for direct mail are very much
along the lines that we have been developing, which are to identify
the target voter demographically and then to be able to communicate
with him by name and address. Bob Morgan, who is handling our direct
mail, will be talking with his counterpart in New York about the possi-
bility of sharing the cost of developing the mail list of all voters
in the state to whom we might want to send direct mail.
CONFIDENTIAL
- 2 -
3. Demographics - The reapportionment project in New York
and the data base that was developed to achieve it, has been one of
the most impressive efforts of its kind in the country. Their data
and analysis capabilities represent the best information we have on
the State of New York. Therefore, we are very interested in having
access to that information and proposals are being developed to
accomplish that.
4. Political Strategy in the State Campaign - Because this
group has been active in two legislative campaigns across the state,
and because they have exhaustively analyzed the voting behavior in
the state in the process of reapportioning, they are uniquely quali-
fied to understand where the voters are who will support the Presi-
dent and what would be the best approach to use with those voters
Their advice on matters such as locations for candidate appearances
and events featuring other spokesmen, as well as the target groups
for advertising and direct mail, could be extremely valuable.
5. Get-Out-The-Vote operations - To a very large degree,
the same type of voter who will support a Republican candidate for
the New York State Legislature will also support the President. In
the State Legislative races, there will be about 30 or 35 districts
which are marginal and which will receive the greatest emphasis
from Perry Duryea's organization. These efforts will particularly
focus on identifying all of the voters who will support the Republi-
can candidate and to get out every one of those votes possible on
Election Day. With an effort of that intensity in those Assembly
districts, it would appear that there would be little benefit in
our attempting to organize an overlapping get-out-the-vote mechanism
for the President. Our most efficient strategy may be to assign
such activities to the legislative group and to focus the work
of Governor Rockefeller's organization in the remaining areas of
the state.
Some of the areas of cooperation discussed above, such as polling,
direct mail lists and demographics, would not be expected to be
in conflict with the operations of Governor Rockefeller's state
Nixon organization. Others, such as advice on campaign strategy
and get-out-the-vote operations in marginal districts, would relate
directly to the Governor's programs.
Although the group told us that they had carefully cleared their
discussions with the Governor beforehand, I thought that you might
deem it appropriate to check with the Governor more directly before
CONFIDENTIAL
- 3 -
we went any further in developing specific recommendations for
cooperation between the Duryea group and our own.
Recommendation
That you contact Governor Rockefeller, or I contact an appropriate
member of the Governor's staff, to fully explain the nature of our
discussions with the Duryea group and to determine what sensitivities
the Governor might have about that group's being closely involved
in the Presidential campaign in New York State.
Attorney General contact Governor Rockefeller
Jeb Magruder contact member of Governor's staff
(After contact with Governor Rockefeller) proceed to develop
specific recommendations for coordination with the Duryea group
in the areas discussed above.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: Campaign Strategy Group
Three major areas were covered in the meetings of the Campaign Strategy
Group this week: a review of the advertising program; the proposed
Youth poster being developed by Ken Reitz; and strategy for entering
primaries where the President is not required by law to be on the
ballot.
Advertising
The advertising and promotional program being developed for the
primary and pre-convention period is based on three principals:
1. To avoid slogans that are vulnerable to current events.
For example, over emphasis on the theme of Peace in a slogan at
this time could weaken that theme if major fighting broke out in
Vietnam or elsewhere in the world before the summer.
2. To avoid slogans tied to a fixed point in time. Slogans
which reflect the state of conditions at the present time with re-
gard to world events or the economy, might be obsolete due to sub-
sequent events between now and the General Campaign. In many areas,
such as Vietnam and the economy, it is likely that the public's per-
ception of conditions will be more favorable in the late summer than
it is at the present time.
3. To avoid slogans which, in themselves, will provide targets
for the Democrats in the primaries. We want to minimize the degree
to which the Democratic contenders are running against the President
in the primaries, and maximize the degree to which they are running
against each other.
For the reasons outlined above, it is felt that the current slogan
"Re-elect the President" is highly appropriate for the pre-convention
period.
CONFIDENTIAL
- 2 -
Proposals for three areas of advertising were presented.
1. Promotional materials (brochures, buttons and bumper
stickers). See Tab A for a detailed outline.
2. Design of letterhead. Several letterhead designs were
presented. The Strategy Group recommended the adoption of two of
the designs for correspondence letterhead, and one for news releases.
In reviewing the letterhead question, a strong sentiment surfaced
that the name of the campaign organization should be changed to
COMMITTEE TO RE-ELECT THE PRESIDENT. A separate decision memorandum
will be submitted on that point.
3. Creative Strategy. This area encompasses media advertising,
primarily television, radio and newspapers. The strategy is outlined
in more detail in Tab B. It reflects the thinking that has been de-
veloped in the Strategy Group over the past several meetings.
In the New Hampshire and Florida primaries, the advertising will
follow the theme of "man in the street" statements of support of
the President. These commercials will reflect people from all walks
of life, interested in a variety of issues. The commercial for New
Hampshire will be filmed in that state this week.
During the discussion of the total advertising strategy, several
other ideas were mentioned. There is a book of pictures coming
out soon on the First Family. It may be possible to obtain that
in paperback in time to sell in Campaign Headquarters in the Fall.
Within a few days after the China trip, there will be a Bantam book
published, covering the event. That also might be made a part of
the promotional materials handled in campaign headquarters. The
suggestion was also made that an article of clothing, such as a
tee-shirt, bearing the campaign slogan, might be appropriate.
Now that campaign promotional materials are being developed in quantity,
it is necessary that a systematic and complete review procedure be
established to assure that all photographs of the President and pro-
motional text be approved by the appropriate people. Such a system
will be established as quickly as possible.
CONFIDENTIAL
- 3 -
Youth Poster
In an earlier Strategy Group meeting on December 27th, Ken Reitz
presented a plan for printing and selling a series of posters
during the campaign. There would be a central poster, highlighting
the President and the campaign theme. Other posters, reflecting
separate issues, would be designed to fit around the central poster,
if one desired to display them together. Working with a poster
vendor, Ken incorporated some of the comments of the Group at the
first meeting. At this week's meeting, a three-dimensional model
of the central poster was presented. The group had several suggestions
as to the specific selection of photographs to be used in the poster.
Arrangements will be made for the White House photographer to see
the model so that he can make more specific suggestions as to what
photos will be best to use. When the design is finalized and the
poster produced, it was suggested that recycled paper be used, and
that the poster should be sold rather than given away. The primary
market will be young voters. There are no plans for producing the
poster in time for the New Hampshire and Florida primaries.
Strategy in Non-mandatory Primaries (Tab C)
Harry Flemming presented an analysis of primary races where the
President's name does not automatically appear on the ballot. In
four states (Indiana, North Carolina, New Mexico and South Dakota)
the delegates are pledged to the winner of the Presidential pre-
ference primary. Because the decision has been made not to have
favorite sons stand in for the President, it will be necessary to
list the President on the ballot if those delegates are to go to
the convention pledged to his nomination. Our campaign efforts
in the primaries would probably be minimal except in cases where
greater activity would build a better organization for the general
campaign. All of these four primaries are in May and June.
There are five other primaries where Presidential candidates are
not listed by pledged delegate slates. These slates must be
accepted in writing by each candidate. The states, with the pri-
mary dates in parentheses, are:
Rhode Island
(April 11th) - may be
shifted to May 23rd.
Massachusetts
(April 25th)
District of Columbia
(May 2nd)
Ohio
(May 2nd)
California
(June 6th)
CONFIDENTIAL
- 4 -
Similarly, in these states, it would be useful for us to have some
activity in the primaries to test the campaign organizations at an
early date. Further, campaign funds spent during the primaries
are not included in the quotas fixed under the new Campaign Spending
Law for the general election.
The guidelines that the Strategy Group felt should be followed are
that in those states where the primary is binding on the delegates,
either the name of the President or a pledged delegate slate, which-
ever is appropriate, should be on the ballot. We should operate
whatever primary campaign is necessary to win decisively and is
constructive toward developing an organization for the general
election. Where the delegate selection is non-binding, we should
have no activity, because to do otherwise could be seen as contrary
to the President's expressed intention of no active campaigning be-
fore the convention.
Miscellaneous
Harry Dent and Fred LaRue voiced their opinions that Wallace is not
likely to run on the American Independent Party ticket in the general
election. This judgement is based on several factors. Tom Turnip-
seed, Wallace's polling advisor in the national campaign in 1968,
has since left the Governor's staff and is now in South Carolina,
where he has a close relationship with the Republican party. Among
Wallace's staff, there appears to be no strong voices urging him to
mount another national campaign. They may be concerned that another
unsuccessful effort could endanger the Governor's chances for re-
election for a second term. In his last election in Alabama, he won
by only a narrow margin.
In addition, the campaign funds collected in 1968 have been spent
and Wallace's finances are at a low level. If Wallace were to do
well in Florida so that major sources of funds open up again, he
may run in the Fall. However, the thinking now is that the proba-
bility is lower than most people believe.
Harry Dent feels that if the President takes a stand on bussing,
Wallace will have lost the only leverage issue that remains to him.
Whether Wallace runs or not, it is possible that bussing may be the
most important issue in the 1972 campaign. The Richmond decision
may reach the Nixon Supreme Court before November. If that decision
CONFIDENTIAL
- 5 -
is supported by the President's new appointments, it may cause
significant reaction among conservative voters. The new school
year will be starting during the height of the general campaign.
Therefore, any local crises relating to bussing will almost auto-
matically become part of the campaign rhetoric. It is also possi-
ble that by that time, concern over Vietnam and the economy will
have abated to the point where the public is ready to focus on a
new issue.

COMMITTEE TO RE-ELECT THE PRESIDENT
A
PROMOTION MATERIALS
The purpose of this document is to set forth initial promotional material
requirements and activities.
Promotion material requirements for the 1972 campaign may be divided into
two phases:
1. Pre-Convention (Primaries and headquarters use)
2. Post-Convention (Major campaign effort)
This document concentrates on the pre-convention materials.
Objectives
1. Provide adequate material concentrating on the issues and the record
for party workers and volunteers.
2. Provide flexibility to add to material at low cost as issues develop.
3. Provide a pre-convention theme that is broad enough to remain durable
during the 8 month pre-convention period.
4. Provide current news to party workers to generate enthusiasm and a
sense of involvement.
Theme
The theme line to be used during the pre-convention phase will be: RE-ELECT
THE PRESIDENT.
This theme serves to:
1. Reinforce that fact that Nixon is the President, while others are
politicians scrambling for votes.
2. It does not serve as a target for the host of primary contenders (as
would an issue oriented statement tied to peace and prosperity).
3. It will not backfire and become a victim of current events.
It is admittedly a "safe" line, and as a result may lack the excitement and
drama of a bolder approach. It is our belief, however, that the excitement
of this campaign should be timed for the post-convention phase. Excitement
and action can tend to be wearying, especially when it is eight months to the
convention and ten months to the election. In summary, this is the right line
for now.

Recommended Materials
The following materials are recommended for development, production, and

briefly setting forth the President's record on important issues. It
will be used as a handout and may be used in mailings, as it is envelope
size.
2. BROCHURE/KIT - "America Needs President Nixon " An 8" X 10" kit,
with a full-color photograph of the President on the cover. This kit
will contain separate sheets on each issue. These inexpensive sheets may
be up-dated from time to time, or new i-sues added without reprinting
the kit. Its major purpose is to encourage volunteers and to provide
detailed information on the issues. The inserts serve a dual purpose.
They will be used as part of a kit, and individually as mailers for
telephone follow-up.
3. PUBLICATION - "The Nixon Re-Elector" or "The Presidential Re-Elector".
This publication will appear monthly in the early stages, and will be
similar in format and style to the "Nixon Elector" used in 1968.
4. BUTTONS - "Re-elect the President".
5. BUMPER STICKERS - "Re-elect the President".
6. WINDOW STICKERS - "Re-elect the President".
Summary
This program will provide adequate materials for initial use, with two
brochures, which can be used in office and for mailings, buttons, bumper
stickers, and automobile window stickers, plus a monthly publication which
will provide current source material for workers and party officials,
and provide people in the campaign with a sense of involvement.

CREATIVE STRATEGY STATEMENT
Committee to Re-Elect the President
January 12, 1971
B
The purpose of this document is to set forth the creative objectives,
strategy and plans proposed for implementation in New Hampshire and
Florida. It is based on the situation as it exists today, and is sub-
ject to revision as events and circumstances dictate the need for change.
THE SITUATION
The President has publicly stated, and reiterated in his New Hampshire
letter that " it is essential, particularly in this year when events of
such importance to the world's future are taking place, that at least
until the Republican Convention the President should refrain from public
partisan activities in order to conduct the business of government with
minimum intrusion of purely political activity." In brief, he "will not
campaign actively or personally in any of the primaries".
The President will be faced with opposition from the left and the right.
Rep. Paul McClosky is challenging the President on Vietnam and credibility
in government. Rep. John Ashbrook, the candidate of the right, is cam-
paigning on the basis that the President has strayed too far from his
1968 positions. Eight candidates have entered the Democratic primary.
CREATIVE OBJECTIVES
The creative objectives in the primary states will be to:
1. Concentrate efforts on Republicans and Independents, and stress the
importance of their vote for the President. (Because of his lead in
the polls, it may be necessary to overcome potential voter apathy).
2. Create a "grass roots" effort, contrasted to superimposed, professional
political campaign drive.
3. Take the position that the President is the best man to meet the challenge
of an ever changing nation and world. He is responsive and courageous in
his actions (implying a more pragmatic, common sense approach to problems,
as contrasted to the doctrinaire solutions of those of the left or right).
4. Creative material will be positive in nature and about America's future
in contrast to negativism that will be raised in the campaign.
5. Emphasis will be given to the fact that the President has achieved much
in contrast to Muskie's "it is not good enough" approach.
6. Statements made in advertising will be checked to insure complete accuracy
and rely on understatement, as opposed to "greatest ever" rhetoric, which
becomes unbelievable.
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 2
CREATIVE STRATEGY
The President will not be used in radio or television commercials in a
direct way. That is, the President will not directly address the public
via commercials, in that this is practically synonmous with direct
campaigning. Advertisements will be developed showing people from all
walks of life stating their support of the President in honest, unrehearsed
terms. Many quick cuts will be used, showing close-ups of (for example)
a young girl, businessman, housewife, black, older American, farmer, young
man.
In this way, support of the President, his actions, his record, can be
stated in a non-political, believable way. Responses will be on the economy,
Vietnam, the President personally, crime, drugs, welfare, and the other
issues important to voters in each state. Commercials will be filmed on
location in the primary states.
In addition, this approach will allow the people to speak in answer to
attacks and questions from the left or right. It allows little room for
counter-attack, as it is difficult for either Democrats or Republican
opposition to attack the peoples' support of the record in Vietnam, the
economy, or other issues.
The commericals will be positive in mood, fast paced, interesting, believ-
able, and "non-political".
Radio commercials will be modified "lifts" from the television tracks.
Newspaper advertising will follow the same basic strategy, with modifica-
tions that will be shown in layout form.
Finally, it is important to note that the President will continue to obtain
prime time special TV coverage on major foreign policy events throughout the
primaries, plus major radio, magazine, and newspaper coverage in addition to
normal Presidential coverage. This "People for the President" approach will
help avoid overexposure early in the campaign.

SUBJECT
PRIMARY RACES
The following is a recommendation of the strategy that
we should follow in the 20 states conducting primaries in 1972.
For reasons of affidavid or tradition, we have committed the President
to enter the following:
NEW HAMPSHIRE
March 7
FLORIDA
March 14
WISCONSIN
April 4
TENNESSEE
May 4
NEBRASKA
May 9
MARYLAND
May 16
OREGON
May 23
There are four states which have Presidential Preference
Primaries that directly affect the commitment of the delegates elected.
They are:
INDIANA
May 2
Results of the preferential primary are binding on
delegates for the first ballot.
NORTH CAROLINA
May 6
The effects of the preferential primary are binding
on the delegates for the first ballot. Further, any
candidate receiving 15% or more of the state's primary
vote receives a proportionate share of the delegates.
NEW MEXICO
June 6
The effect of the preferential primary is binding on
the delegates for the first ballot. Delegates shall be
allotted to the two top candidates in proportion to the
vote they received in the primary.
ATTORNEY GENERAL JOHN MITCHELL
January 21, 1972

SOUTH DAKOTA
June 6
The effect of the preferential primary has been
construed in the past to bind the delegates for
three ballots. However, the recent Attorney
General's opinion seems to indicate that this is
a moral obligation only (this could make an
interesting fight at the convention).
RECOMMENDATION - That we initiate a program for these states and
enter these primaries.
Five states elect pledged delegates slates. They are:
RHODE ISLAND
April 11
MASSACHUSETTS
April 25
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
May 2
OHIO
May 2
CALIFORNIA
June 6
RECOMMENDATION -- That we work closely with each of these state
organizations, carefully select the delegates
and that the President sign off in the appro-
priate manner so as to guarantee pledged delegates
from these states.
Three states conduct primaries which are purely advisory
and have no binding effect on the delegates to the National Convention.
They are:
ILLINOIS
March 21
PENNSYLVANIA
April 25
WEST VIRGINIA
May 9
RECOMMENDATION --- That we do not enter any of these states, as it would
involve an unnecessary expense on our part with no
real benefit resulting.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

SUBJECT:
Wire Services
As Cliff Miller and Jeb Magruder have discussed with you,
we are building up speed in the information area, primarily
for two purposes:
1.
To allow us to respond quickly to partisan attacks
on The President from the other side when the need
arises.
2.
To begin to establish a twice daily news report
for top campaign staff.
For those purposes and in line with the comprehensive com-
munication memorandum developed late last year, we have
ordered and have installed three teletype machines in the
press section. They are the UPI National A Wire and City Wire
and the AP National A Wire. The cost of the AP A Wire, which
is difficult to obtain because it generally is restricted to
the media and to government bureaus, is costing us $100 a week.
Because of my long-time ties with UPI, however, I was able
to cut a deal that will give us both of their wires for a
total of $3,000 for the entire campaign, which works out to
about $45 a week per wire.
Later, as we get well developed in the audio-video area, we
will need the UPI Radio Wire, which forms the basis for a
clear majority of broadcast news reports around the Nation.
But that is at least a month away.

The Youth Citizenship Fund, an organization formed to
register young people, has just undergone a major
organizational change. The executive director has been
replaced because he was becoming too political. They
feared an investigation by IRS.
In the reorganization, YCF has hired one of our people
to be (interviewed on his own after I told him about
the job) director of field operations. He will decide
in which counties they will conduct registration efforts
and then be charged with carrying them out. This will
allow us to pretty well decide when YCF should be active.
Since YCF concentrates on non-college young voters, it
would seem we can now get them active whenever it would
benefit us.

SUBJECT: Director of the Transient Vote
As you remember, you had requested a report on the Transient
Voter which was prepared and forwarded to you in October.
One of the people who helped to put the report together
was Richard McAdoo.
We have interviewed several candidates for the position
of Executive Director for the Transient Vote, and McAdoo
appears to be the best. Dick has met with Fred Malek,
Ed DeBolt, Bart Porter, Peter Flanigan, and me. He worked
in this area in the '68 campaign, reporting to Ray Bliss
at the RNC.
McAdoo is currently with Security Pacific Bank in Los
Angeles, and he is more than willing to take a leave of
absence and join our staff.
It is recommended that an appointment be set up for me
to bring McAdoo in to see you.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Governor Reagan's announcement that he was accepting the Chairmanship of
the campaign in California was made at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los
Angeles. All networks and both wire services were present. California
State officials and Party representatives present were: Lt. Governor
Reinecke, Attorney General Younger, Comptroller Flournoy, National
Committeewoman Eleanor Ring, National Commi-teeman Tom Reed, State Chair-
man Livermore, and two representatives of the Republican leadership in
the State Legislature.
The Governor read his prepared statement (attached at Tab A) in which he
announced the selection of Len Firestone as Finance Chairman; Lyn Nofziger
as Executive Director; and Gordon Luce who will also serve as his special
assistant in the campaign working with the campaign leadership at all
levels.
The questions were relatively easy and the Governor fielded them
marvelously.
He particularly hit hard at Muskie. When a reporter asked how the Gover-
nor felt about the latest Vietnam peace proposal the Governor said the
American people ought to really get behind the President now and say that
we are united in our support of his peace plan. He also said that Senator
Muskie "might have at least given the Government of North Vietnam the
chance to reply" before Muskie rejected the proposal.
The Governor said that if the Democrats make the war in Vietnam an issue
in the election they will do so at their own peril. "It's their baby,"
he said.
CONFIDENTIAL
-2-
When he was asked about the Ashbrook challenge he described that as part of
the political process, but added that he was not "in sympathy" with those
who carry their objections to the point of entering the primary elections
against the President.
The Governor was asked if he intended to work for the renomination of
Vice President Agnew. He replied that in this situation the President
gives an indication of his wishes, but Reagan said "Spiro Agnew is my per-
sonal choice" and when he was asked if he would accept the Vice Presidency
the Governor replied with a flat "no."
To a question about George Wallace the Governor said, "I'm happy to say
that since he has entered into the Democratic primaries he is sombody
elses problem not ours."
The one area of disagreement which developed was welfare but the Governor
handled himself expertly. He said in reply to a reporter's questions
which indicated a disagreement between him and the President on wealfare
that there are "a great many areas of agreement."
The coverage was exceptionally heavy and I think we should be very pleased.
Van Shumway attended the press conference and this report comes directly
from him. He reported that he was quite pleased with the event. Van also
is working to get a major attack on Muskie inserted into Reagan's speech
tonight to the California Newspaper Publishers Association.

CALIFORNIA COMMITTEE TO RE-ELECT THE PRESIDENT
FOR RELEASE, 11:00 AM, PST, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4:
CONTACT: Lyn Nofziger
(213) 670-8111
LOS ANGELES, February 4 -- Ronald Reagan disclosed today that he will head
the campaign in California to re-elect President Nixon.
Reagan also announced that industrialist Leonard Firestone will be
Mr. Nixon's Finance Chairman for the state.
The Governor made the announcements in a press conference at the
Century Plaza Hotel, flanked by other of the state's leading Republican
figures.
Reagan said the presence of the group reflected the fact that the
Republican Party in California is unified behind the President.
On the platform with Reagan -- or sending messages of support --
were Firestone, Lt. Governor Ed Reinecke, State Treasurer Ivy Baker Priest,
State Comptroller Houston Flournoy, Attorney General Evelle Younger, Putnam
Livermore, State Chairman; Gordon Luce, State Vice Chairman; Mrs. Eleanor
Ring, National Committeewoman; Thomas C. Reed, National Committeeman; Ralph
Rosedale, President of the County Chairmen's Association; Bob Monagan, GOP
leader in the State Assembly; John Stull, GOP Caucus Chairman in the Assembly;
Fred Marler, Senate GOP leader and John Harmer, Senate GOP Caucus leader.
Reagan said that Luce will also serve as his special assistant in the
campaign working with the campaign leadership at all levels. He said the
Nixon campaign committee, to be known as the California Committee to Re-Elect
the President, will work closely with the Central Committee in the areas of
registration and getting-out-the-vote. He said the Committee will begin to
function immediately.
(more)
"This is not just another election," the Governor said. "This is an
election that will match a solid and consistent performer against a group
of politicians who have been on every side of almost every issue.
"This will match the man who has wound down the war, reformed the
draft, balanced the Supreme Court and come to grips with the hard, knotty
problems of inflation and unemployment against those who are known more
for their destructive criticisms than for any worthwhile accomplishments."
Reagan also disclosed that Lyn Nofziger, Deputy Chairman of the Republican
National Committee, will leave the Committee to serve as Executive Director
of the California campaign.

REMARKS BY GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN
February 4, 1972
I'm sure that none of you is really surprised as to why we are here
today. There has been a lot of talk in recent months about the upcoming
Presidential campaign, and about the roles various people will play in it.
From the very first I have felt that the Republican governor of California
should head the re-election campaign of the Republican President. Therefore,
I am announcing today that I have accepted the chairmanship of the campaign
in California to re-elect the President.
We have met here today -- my friends here on the platform and I --
to discuss the campaign for the re-election of President Nixon and its
proposed leadership.
I am pleased that they also are in this campaign and have pledged
themselves to an all-out effort for the President's re-election. I think
you can judge by those present just how broad the President's support is
in California.
Beyond those here I have receive. literally thousands of pledges of
support for the President from all over the state and from a few persons
who could not be here today.
One person in particular I am sorry cannot be here. That is my good
friend, Leonard Firestone, who has agreed to serve as State Finance Chairman
for the campaign.
As most of you know, Len has been one of the outstanding leaders of the
Republican Party in California for many years.
In order to put a campaign together it is obvious that we need more than
(more)
just a chairman and a finance chairman. Therefore I am asking Gordon
Luce to directly assist me in this campaign.
Gordon, of course, is a former member of my cabinet and now is the
President of San Diego Federal Savings & Loan. He will be helping in
his capacity as a private citizen and will work with the campaign leadership
at all levels.
Finally, I want to announce that Lyn Nofziger, who has been working at
the Republican National Committee, will serve as Executive Director of
the campaign.
The Committee will be known as the California Committee to Re-Elect
the President and as such it will seek the vote not only of Republicans
but also Democrats and Independents. Nevertheless, we hope to work
closely with the State and County Republican organizations especially
in the areas of registration and getting-out-the-vote.
Finally, we hope to have a full fledged headquarters opened by March
1st. We will let you know when that opens.
Now before I open this up to questions I want to predict that Richard
Nixon can carry California and can be re-elected. One thing about this
election -- it is not just another election -- it is an election that will
match a solid and consistent performer -- Richard Nixon -- against a group
of politicians who have been on every side of almost every issue in the
last few years. This will match the man who has wound down the war, reformed
the draft, balanced the Supreme Court and come to grips with the hard, knotty
problems of inflation and unemployment against those who are known more for
their destructive criticisms than for any worthwhile accomplishments. I
think the American people know that, and that is why I think Richard Nixon
will be re-elected.

Mr. Caspar Weinberger, Deputy Director, Office of Management and Budget,
briefly presented some talking points on the budget. Following the bud-
get discussions, two additional topics were discussed: recent peace
initiatives, and the next two months of efforts at fund raising.
CONFIDENTIAL
-2-
Budget Deficit
The major criticisms will inevitably be related to the budget deficit.
Though Mr. Weinberger explained that there were a number of significant
reasons which required that the Administration accept a larger deficit
this year, nevertheless, such a deficit violates many of the principles
to which the Administration is committed and Mr. Weinberger expects that
there will be further severe criticism. Mr. Weinberger outlined several
important arguments with which to respond to political problems related
to the budget deficit.
Though the Administration did not want to accept a deficit, unemployment
was even less acceptable. In explaining the budget deficit it is impor-
tant to note that we have not abdicated responsibility for controlling
inflation since we are using the fiscal tools which are available. Addi-
tionally, the current budget is required only by the special circumstan-
ces of a year in which it is important to stimulate employment and the
economy. The President is totally committed to the concept of the full
employment budget which would be balanced under 4% unemployment. This
point Mr. Weinberger feels might be made more strongly than it has been
thus far.
There are, additionally, several points which should be made about the
current budget. The programs which have been increased are programs with
significant political appeal: the fight against crime and drug abuse,
the increase in social security benefits, and environmental programs.
All are programs which are important priorities and have broad appeal.
Also, many older programs which contribute to increases in the total bud-
get expenditures are beyond the control of the Administration. Finally,
of those expenditures which the Administration could control, the annual
percentage of increases in expenditures has been decreased from 9% annu-
ally at the end of the Johnson Administration to 4% this year.
On the revenue side, there were lost tax revenues from the two tax cuts
which have taken place in the past four years. Had they been restored,
they would have practically made up the difference and caused a balanced
budget.
Budgetary Priorities
There are several topics which are reflected in the budget which might
also be stressed in speaking with Republican audiences. Defense expendi-
tures for strategic research and development have been sharply increased
despite the fact that the de-escalation of the Vietnam War and increases
-3-
in the HEW budget have put human resources expenditures above that of
the military. Other topics include the decrease in the federal work
force of more than 4% since the President took office. And, the budget
also shows that the Administration has not eliminated its commitment to
the space program since that is being funded at 3.2 billion for the next
year.
Related Topics
Finally, there are two related topics which may cause difficulty this
spring. The withholding tax increase, combined with the fact that with-
holding schedules have been set too low during the past year, will mean
that sizable taxes will hit many Americans on April 15. Secondly, pro-
visions of some legislation will add to the impression that the Adminis-
tration is holding back vast sums of appropriated monies. In fact, this
Administration's record is better than that of previous administrations
though the impression of the general public may be otherwise.
Foreign Policy
After Weinberger's briefing, several questions concerning the aid plan to
North Vietnam were addressed to John Lehman of the National Security
Council staff. In answer to the question why offer aid to North Vietnam
there is the argument that the proposal is only part of the total package
of peace initiatives. The actual offer for aid to North Vietnam has not
actually been extended at this time. It is part of the total plan, an
inducement for settlement. The concept of the offer is to provide a
Marshall plan for Indo-China to aid in recovery should the North Viet-
namese come to Paris to actually negotiate a settlement.
Fund Raising
The final discussion of the meeting concerned the difficulties raised by
overlapping fund raising activities. Senator Dominick explained his dif-
ficulty in attracting supporters to his March 8 fund raising dinner since
there are simultaneous efforts being conducted by the Committee for the
Re-Election of the President. The RNC representatives also expressed
some difficulty in raising funds and pointed out that there were going to
be inevitable conflicts due to the 60 days provision of the new fund
raising law.

SUBJECT: Planning Mechanism for the Republican National Convention
Bill Timmons has suggested, and we concur in his thinking, that a
planning session be set up on a regular bi-weekly basis (10:00 a.m.
Monday at 1701) whereby all planning for the convention can be done
in an organized and efficient manner. Various firm recommendations
from these sessions regarding the convention would then be presented
to you for approval.
Bill Timmons, Dick Herman, and Jeb Magruder would be the permanent
members of this group. Rob Odle would be the staff man for it.
Other appropriate people from the White House, RNC, Congress, etc.,
would be asked to attend the meetings based on the subject matter
for each meeting.
A suggested calendar for making the key decisions is attached.
Recommendation:
That you approve the general concept of a regular planning session
every other Monday as outlined in the attached calendar.

Comment
Prior to the first meeting February 28 Bill Timmons feels it will
be necessary to formally "anoint" Rep. John Rhodes as Temporary
Chairman of the Platform Committee. Rhodes, as you know, has been
cleared and approved by the President, Vice President, Ehrlichman,
Dole, Gov. Milliken, Gov. Williams, Rep. Ford, Sen. Scott, and
Bryce Harlow.
It is suggested that a meeting be held for this purpose in your
office, or, if you felt a more informal setting would be appro-
priate, we could meet for a lunch or dinner. Present would be
Rhodes, Dole, Ehrlichman, Harlow, Timmons, Herman, and Magruder.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT:
San Diego Office
In the attached memorandum, Bill Timmons suggests that this Com-
mittee open an office in San Diego to coordinate our activities
there and help us get ready for the August convention. The
office and necessary personnel would cost no more than $10,000.
An "executive director" of the office would be necessary for
three months beginning June 1. Chick Cudlip has indicated he
would like to have this position, and Chick is agreeable to
Timmons if he is the man you want.
If, however, it made no difference to you who was selected as
executive director, Bill would probably select someone who had
proven talents in the logistical area.
Recommendation:
That a San Diego office be opened March 1 at a total budget of
$10,000.

SUBJECT:
San Diego Office
As a proposal, what do you think of opening a campaign office
in San Diego? The main function will be to coordinate our activities
with the National Committee Office, Civic Committee Office and
California GOP Host Committee office -- all of which is functioning.
The Office and personnel would be paid by your Committee but
supervised by Gordon Luce and provide service for me.
The Youth Division has already hired Mike O'Donnell in San Diego
and he could work out of this facility. We'd need a secretary and
Ann Ramsey is interested in the position. Attached is her resume.
She has worked for Lee Nunn and Herb Kalmbach who, I believe,
will endorse her.
In the summer we could beef up the office with Chick Cudlip as
our man on the scene. There follows a budget recommendation.
SAN DIEGO OFFICE
- One secretary for six months (March 1 through August)
at $500.00
$3,000
- One executive director for three months (June 1
through August) at $1,000

SPANISH SPEAKING FOR NIXON
Alex Armendaris - December 17, 1971
A special campaign 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 Spoaking
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 Spanish-American 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 iti-povertv 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.
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. Moreover, 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 reflect
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 selected 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 phrases of the target 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 PLG this overall approach, it is 2, intention to syste-
matically locate and inentify the orine arens socrein our appeals
should be mide. With the USL of the 1970 census data, and with the
electoral objectives to Lind, TO Can develop 0 profile of key Spanish
Speaking arers vita P.S. proper formata. in this we Call concen-
trate this special compaign effort 011 those areas where a slight
shift in voting patterns can affect the outcome of the election.
By working from an identitied value structure and special campaign
appeals specifically designed to the desires, expectations, and hopes
of the selected Spanish-American groups of interest, this plan will
succeed.
